The Incoherence of American Corporate Governance and the Need For Federal Standards

This Comment suggests that the U.S. Congress should expand the SEC’s mandate so that it has clear authority to implement corporate governance standards. Part I provides an overview of problems regarding how much executive pay is given, how pay is set, and how it is disclosed. It then highlights regulatory responses to those problems, including how they provide contradictory incentives and result in unpredictability and over-regulation. Part II considers the current scope of the SEC’s mandate, including courts’ and commentators’ difficulty in defining its boundaries. Part II concludes that this difficulty sometimes makes the SEC’s regulatory actions either ineffective or beyond its mandate. Part III looks at the SEC’s recently enacted executive compensation rules and concludes that as a result of the SEC’s mandate, the rules will not fix the problems set out in Part I. Last, Part IV argues that the U.S. Congress must expand the SEC’s mandate to enable the SEC to set federal corporate governance standards, and to allow it to effectively regulate executive compensation

Remember the Ladies: A Call to Prioritize Women’s Experiences in Catholic Social Teaching

The Church appears to lack a concrete framework for analyzing and responding to violations of women’s dignity. This oversight can be addressed by applying the principles espoused in Catholic Social Teaching to the present-day situation of women worldwide to articulate an affirmative Catholic vision for the protection and promotion of women. This paper examines the tradition of the Catholic Church and her scriptures in order to find positive affirmations of the dignity of women and call to mind places where such affirmations are still lacking. It then seeks to establish a new framework that empowers the Church to more consistently uphold the dignity of all people

A study of student involvement at Rowan University

This study was designed to determine the reasons why students get involved in student organizations, the benefits perceived by being involved, and the impact of the highly involved student. Seventy-five undergraduate students from Rowan University participated in the study by completing a survey that asked about involvement in a Student Government (SGA) chartered organization, Greek Life, and Varsity Athletics and the perceived learning outcomes associated with involvement. A follow-up interview was conducted with four students who completed the survey in order to more fully answer the question of what motivated and characterized the highly involved student. The survey inquired about three areas: (a) why students get involved, (b) perceived benefits of involvement, and (c) perceived learning outcomes associated with involvement. Findings from this study supports previous research, while expanding the knowledge base of Greek Life Leaders and Varsity Athletics, in addition to highly involved members of Student Government Association (SGA) chartered organizations at Rowan University

DEVELOPMENT OF THE 2,2,6,6-TETRAMETHYLPIPERIDIN-1-YLOXYCARBONYL (TEMPOC) PROTECTING GROUP AND EFFORTS TOWARDS THE TOTAL SYNTHESIS OF α-CYCLOPIAZONIC ACID

The 2,2,6,6-Tetramethylpiperidin-1-yloxycarbonyl (Tempoc) protecting group is a new carbamate protecting group for various types of amines. Installation can be accomplished using the new reagent 4-nitrophenyl (2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-1-yl) carbonate (NPTC) under mild conditions. Tempoc is stable under strongly acidic and basic conditions, and displays orthogonal deprotection properties when used in tandem with the tert-butyloxycarbonyl (Boc) and benzyloxycarbony (Cbz) protective groups. Deprotection can be accomplished under thermolytic conditions at 135 °C, or under reductive conditions with in situ generated catalytic Cu(I). Furthermore, Tempoc has also been shown to be a useful protecting group in peptide synthesis. Protecting a broad range of biologically relevant amino esters has been accomplished in the presence of 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (HOBt) as an NPTC activator. Demonstration of Tempoc utility has been realized through the synthesis of a tripeptide fragment of Gramicidin S, a cyclic decapeptide that possesses antimicrobial activity. Unrelated, efforts toward the total synthesis of α-Cyclopiazonic acid are also discussed. The ambitious 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of a highly substituted aziridine with relatively unactivated dipolarophiles led to interesting results that may be useful for the synthesis of other complex biologicals and natural products

A qualitative case study of the congruence between fraternal organizations\u27 and members\u27 values, principles, and standards

Fraternal organizations are unique in how their very existence is routed in their espoused values, principles, and standards. These ideals spotlight what their organization was founded upon, and how those who associate themselves with the organization should conduct themselves. There are few instances where an organization is forced to be as altruistic as a fraternity. However, the point that these particular organizations espouse that their values, principles, and standards are the keystone of what they stand for is often the very reason these groups are permitted to have a presence on college and university campuses. The purpose of this inquiry was to examine the organizational culture of fraternities, seeking to identify the congruency between nationally espoused values, principles, and standards and those in use by organizations at the local level. Using data acquired through semi-structured interviews, observations, and document analysis, in this this study a clearer picture was drawn regarding the relationship between organizational culture and the values, principles, and standards espoused by organizations

IN OVO SELENIUM (SE) INJECTION OF INCUBATING CHICKEN EGGS: EFFECTS ON EMBRYO VIABILITY, TISSUE SE CONCENTRATION, LIPID PEROXIDATION, IMMUNE RESPONSE AND POST HATCH DEVELOPMENT

Studies were conducted to investigate the effects of in ovo injection of selenium (Se) either as seleno-methionine (Se-Met) or sodium selenite (Na2SeO3) into the yolk of incubating eggs on tissue Se concentration, embryo livability, lipid peroxidation, immune response and growth performance. When white-shelled eggs were injected with 0.1ml of solutions providing 0, 2.5, 5, 10 or 20 μg Se/egg, no detrimental effects on embryo viability at 20 days of incubation were noted. The effects on tissue Se concentrations suggested that Se-Met and Na2SeO3 were metabolized differently by the chick embryo. In a subsequent study using injection doses up to 60 μg/egg, a greater linear response in tissue Se was obtained with Se-Met, compared with Na2SeO3 (P \u3c 0.01). Minimal changes in heart and breast muscle Se concentrations were noted above the 40 μg dose when Na2SeO3 was used (P \u3e 0.05). In a study with broiler eggs, injection doses of 0, 2.5, 5, 10, 20 and 40 μg Se/egg were used. Se-Met or Na2SeO3 at doses up to 40 μg Se/egg had little effect on embryo viability. Injecting Se-Met resulted in greater tissue Se accumulation than Na2SeO3 at 20 days of incubation. In another study with broiler eggs using injection doses up to 40 μg Se/egg, Se-Met injection resulted in higher hatchability, reduced lipid peroxidation in the lung and heart muscle of the embryos after 20 days incubation and higher Se concentrations in heart and breast muscle of hatched chicks through 7 days and in lung through 21 days of growth. In a feeding trial with broiler breeder hens, adding 0.3 mg/kg of Se as Se yeast or Na2SeO3 to the diet improved tissue Se status at hatching of progeny chicks. Taken together, these results indicate that injection of Se into the yolk of incubating eggs may be useful for enhancing Se status during embryonic and early post-hatch development. Therefore, the improvement in Se status using this method in conjunction with dietary Se supplementation of breeder hens would be much greater than with only using dietary supplementation

The Lived Experience of Older Mexcian American Adults with Type 2, Non-Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore the lived experience of Mexican American older adults with type 2, non-insulin dependent diabetes. Research design and results: A phenomenological research approach was used when interviewing a sample of ten English speaking Mexican American older adults in Santa Clara County, California. Three collective themes were identified: Emotions prevalent in living with diabetes, diabetes\u27 impact on life, and cultural factors affecting diabetes self care. Discussion/conclusions/implications: A duality of thoughts and experiences in living with diabetes, and the strong influence of culture and its beliefs characterize the life-world of Mexican American non-insulin dependent diabetics. Health care practitioners can generate plans of care that address these findings to effectively provide culturally congruent care in daily practice

EXPERT SYSTEM DIAGNOSE DISEASES IN GOATS USING THE APPLICATION OF CERTAINTY FACTOR AT THE ASAHAN DISTRICK LIVESTOCK SERVICE

Goats are livestock that provides many benefits for humans such as meat, milk, and skin. Goat meat is now also one of the important foodstuffs in meeting people's nutrition and is widely marketed. Livestock health is the most important factor in the cultivation of goats, therefore the presence of diseases in goats can result in economic losses because it can reduce livestock productivity and can even cause death in goats. However, most of the goat breeders still lack knowledge of disease control in goats plus the ratio of the number of experts is not balanced with the number of breeders which causes limited service facilities for a consultation so that it is increasingly difficult for breeders to identify the type of disease early on and the solutions that will be carried out next. To overcome this problem, an expert system was built that can assist farmers in diagnosing diseases in goats. This study uses the certainty factor method in solving problems that exist in goats. The data used in this study consisted of 8 disease data and 30 symptom data caused by bacteria, viruses and parasites. Each symptom has a CF value given by experts, namely veterinarians. So that a 90% percentage of the level of conformity for the system's accuracy level is obtained based on the results of expert and system validation
