Title: THE "HOLY EXPERIMENT": AN EXAMINATION OF THE INFLUENCE OF THE SOCIETY OF FRIENDS UPON THE DEVELOPMENT AND EVOLUTION OF AMERICAN CORRECTIONAL PHILOSOPHY (QUAKERS, RENAL, PRISON REFORM).
Creator: CROMWELL, PAUL FRANK., Florida State University
Abstract/Description: The Quaker era in American corrections is traditionally characterized in criminological literature as the brief experiment with substitution of imprisonment for the sanguinary corporal and capital punishments of England and the other colonies by William Penn in 1682, and as the subsequent rebirth of the philosophy by Philadelphia Quakers between 1790-1840., The premise underlying this research is that the origin and evolution of American correctional philosophy cannot be fully and accurately...
Show moreThe Quaker era in American corrections is traditionally characterized in criminological literature as the brief experiment with substitution of imprisonment for the sanguinary corporal and capital punishments of England and the other colonies by William Penn in 1682, and as the subsequent rebirth of the philosophy by Philadelphia Quakers between 1790-1840., The premise underlying this research is that the origin and evolution of American correctional philosophy cannot be fully and accurately understood from any perspective that limits the Quaker influence to early periods of American history. The study elaborates the direct and indirect influence of a Quaker social reform movement which began in Europe in 1670 and continues today as a vital and viable force behind correctional public policy in the United States. Although the strength and impact of the Quaker social reform movement, the "holy experiment," as William Penn termed it, has waxed and waned over the past three centuries, the efforts of the Society of Friends to attain social justice in correctional reform has been a continuous social reform movement., The present research interprets the Quaker correctional reforms in America as a single social movement which evolved in distinct stages over a period of three hundred years. The theoretical frame of reference is a social contextual perspective, which considers the events in the social, political and economic context of the time., The evolution of the American correctional philosophy can be seen as a single, extended social movement which began with the Quaker persecution in Europe and the subsequent migration to America; evolved into an utopian effort to establish a new and better means of dealing with the criminal; and, further developed into a reform effort, diffusing the gospel of the "penitentiary" and the new "prison discipline." Its basic philosophy remained for the next one hundred years the foundation of American correctional policy, only to be reexamined in the mid-twentieth century and found wanting by the same reformers who established it, and the struggle for reform began again.

Show moreThe "inner game" approach to skill acquisition and performance as presented by Gallwey was investigated in this study. His ideas were transposed into a working model which, in turn, formed the basis for all hypotheses in this study. Performance on an electronic video game was measured across two levels of "inner game" cueing, three levels of conscious attention blocking, and control, for both novice and advanced skill levels. A total of 120 subjects was utilized (72 male; 48 female). A preliminary test on the experimental apparatus (electronic video game) was used to determine skill level. Subjects were then assigned to groups (N = 10) by random stratification based on sex., Data in this study suggest that under certain dual processing conditions, learning and performance are facilitated. The cueing method advocated by Gallwey was effective in both the novice (learning) and advanced (performing) groups. However, all aspects of the working model are not supported in this study. Nevertheless, those groups that functioned with a secondary task designd to block conscious attention performed as well as control subjects., The approach presented by Gallwey, while in need of further exploration, may be considered a viable instructional strategy. The results are discussed in relation to previous findings reported in the motor learning literature.

Show moreAbner Doubleday was an unusual and often a controversial person. Born into a family staunchly supporting Andrew Jackson, Doubleday reflected the determined Unionist position of the strong-willed president. Abner's attitude towards the Union was later vividly demonstrated at Fort Sumter. A mediocre career at West Point illustrated Doubleday's lack of desire to excel although he possessed the ability to do so. The controversy over the origin of baseball, although Doubleday was never directly involved in the question, was the first of several controversies with which Abner Doubleday's name is associated., Doubleday never seemed satisfied with his early life. In his papers he continually referred to people, prominent in later years, which he knew. While serving in the Mexican War, Doubleday continually felt the need to relate the dangerous situations in which he was placed. He seemed to want to demonstrate his personal responsibilities, which while actually meager, he viewed as of supreme importance. Doubleday apparently wanted to be a famous, bold cavalier, but realized he failed to accomplish his objective and stressed his "noble" deeds., Doubleday loved large cities and the benefits they offered a person. He liked being in the right social circles and enjoyed the "good life." By 1852, while serving as a commissioner for the Senate, Doubleday had come to despise Mexico and the Mexicans. By 1858, while serving in Florida, he disliked the inconveniences of chasing "savages." With secession in 1860 Doubleday no longer liked Charlestonians; later extending his revulsion to all Confederates., With the crisis at Sumter in 1861 Doubleday was greatly troubled. The affront to the United States government was almost more than he could bear. With the outbreak of the war, Doubleday was more than willing to fight the rebels. A dependable, if unspectacular soldier, Doubleday served well during the Civil War. While no one accused him of original thinking militarily, his men always fought well. Gettysburg was Doubleday's finest hour but became his final hour in the Civil War when he could not countenance serving under a junior officer., It seems strange that Doubleday served in the Freedmen's Bureau since his superior was none other than his old enemy from Gettysburg, O.O. Howard. Doubleday's service in California brought the controversy over the origin of the cable car. Retirement from the army in 1873 brought out several new qualities in Abner Doubleday. He wrote books, read French and Spanish literature, and became interested in the occult and became a believer in theosophy., Doubleday was a colorful figure in nineteenth century America. He was associated with several significant events in the growth of the nation. Doubleday represented, possibly to an extreme, the attitude of many American Unionists and supporters of Manifest Destiny. His commitment to a united nation is similar to Lincoln's attitude. Doubleday not only vocalized this sentiment, but, like Lincoln, was prepared to fight for his belief. Abner Doubleday was an intense American. He desired a strong, powerful United States and opposed those not supporting such a course.

Show moreIn 1963, Alabama Governor George C. Walace defied a court order by Attorney General Nicholas Katzenbach to integrate the University of Alabama. This incident turned the governor into a national celebrity and led to a number of speaking engagements across the country. During one of these engagements, Wallace indicated an interest in entering certain presidential primaries in the North in order to campaign against the pending national civil rights legislation. The Wisconsin Democratic presidential primary was the first of these races., Since President Lyndon Johnson had the Democratic presidential nomination for the asking, little attention was given to the Wallace candidacy. Governor John Reynolds was selected to run against Wallace as the Democraic favorite-son candidate, and the Republicans chose Representative John Byrnes as their favorite-son candidate. When the votes were cast on April 7, the entire nation was surprised at the large number of votes obtained by Wallace., Upon examination of the conditions and events prior to and during the presidential primary campaign, the following factors apparently contributed to the surprising showing of Governor Wallace: (1) An open primary system existed in Wisconsin that allowed a large Republican cross-over vote for Wallace; (2) The Republican favorite-son candidate had no opponent; (3) The Democratic party was divided over their favorite-son candidate, one of the most unpopular Governors in the political history of Wisconsin; (4) Wallace's opponents waged a personal defamation campaign based on Wallace's reputation as a racist to which Wallace did not respond; and (5) Some white residents of Wisconsin were afraid of the increasing civil rights demands of the black population. These factors served to gain support and sympathy for the Wallace candidacy and to focus national attention on the Alabama governor as he conducted subsequent campaigns in Maryland and Indiana.

Show moreWilliam Butler Yeats's involvement in the esoteric and the occult has attracted considerable interest in the past decade, but much remains unknown about his philosophical development during the period of his life when he was engaged in the most profound spiritual or psychical investigation or experiment of his brilliant career, an experiment which gave birth to A Vision. Often described as the most important work in the canon to the understanding of his art and thought if not his life, this ambitious work represents Yeats's attempt to explain the basic psychological polarities of the human personality, the course of Western civilization, and the evolution and movement of the soul after death. The cogency and gravity of the experiment of investigation which produced a book of these epic proportions cannot be underestimated; indeed, the contents of this well-recorded experiment may well be the most significant body of unexplored Yeats material. The fundamental aim of this study, which includes only the first crucial months of the Automatic Script, is to present to the scholarly world for the first time a transcript of the often obscure, often complex body of materials that led directly to Yeats's most profound work of art. In order to place this manuscript in its proper biographical and critical context, explanatory notes have been included, explicating the essential features of the experiment (i.e., the recording of dates, the authors of questions and responses, the placement of diagrams and notes by George and Yeats, the physical state of the manuscript, etc.) and unraveling or spelling out the numerous references to Yeats's primary works, those appearing prior to as well as those growing directly out of the Automatic Script; special attention has been focused on those materials which were eventually embodied in the 1925 version of A Vision. An editorial, introduction preceding the transcript demonstrates how this momentous experiment was the logical extension of a series of psychical investigations and, in much broader terms, the culmination of a spiritual odyssey that Yeats had begun almost as early as the days of his youth.

This study examines the work of the AMA with black North Carolinians during the Civil War and Reconstruction. Life for Yankee teachers in the South is described, along with their motives for coming, the various tasks they performed and the Southern reaction to their presence and labors. Attention is given to the relief, religious and missionary activities of the Association, but the emphasis is on Education. Freedmen's desire and eagerness to learn, black academic progress, curriculum, obstacles and discipline are discussed in chapters II, III, and IV. The role of black teachers in the AMA and the contributions of native blacks to the education movement are also delineated. In addition, the AMA's relationship with and its labors in the black community and its work with the state's poor whites are analyzed and adds valuable new information to Freedmen's Aid Literature.

Show moreTraditionally, the offspring of illustrious, respected citizens are not studied unless they become famous in their own right. Traditionally, too, the daughters of prominent eighteenth-century men have been largely ignored or referenced casually in a footnote. From the age of four, however, Charlotte Cibber Charke, the youngest daughter of the Poet Laureate, Colley Cibber, made certain that she would not be ignored. In her childhood began adventures and escapades that would lead her through a riotous, tragic life that deserves to be remembered. Charlotte Cibber Charke's notoriety is well-deserved, but not so much for her passing as a man as for her unflinching struggle to survive as an unattached woman against all the dictates of propriety of the eighteenth century. Her attempts at the careers of actress, entrepreneur, and author have been examined and the judgment is that she is well worth remembering. Dressing as a man onstage soon carried over into her personal life, especially after her irascible temperament and the Licensing Act of 1737 thwarted her London theatrical career. Versatile acting abilities and a ferocious desire to preserve her autonomy enabled her to pose as a young man while attempting diverse male occupations to support herself and her daughter. Waiting tables in a tavern, selling sausages on the street, trading teas in her shop, running a boarding house, and managing an elaborate puppet show were some of her survival schemes. On more than one occasion she was pursued and proposed to by young women. Labeled a transvestite by modern critics, Charlotte Cibber Charke was, rather, a survivor. In a time when women alone were either protected as mistresses or exploited as prostitutes, she faced these two choices and determined she could accept neither. Deserted by her husband of less than a year and left alone with an infant, she attempted the logical route to survival and independence--she went on the stage in her father's theatre at Drury Lane and became as famous for her breeches roles in her time as Nell Gwynn had been in hers.

Title: A Redesigned Hydrophobic Core of a Symmetric Protein Superfold with Increased Primary Structure Symmetry.

Abstract/Description: Human acidic fibroblast growth factor (FGF-1) is a member of the £]-trefoil superfamily and exhibits a characteristic three-fold tertiary structure symmetry. However, evidence of this symmetry is not readily apparent at the level of the primary structure.

Show moreHuman acidic fibroblast growth factor (FGF-1) is a member of the £]-trefoil superfamily and exhibits a characteristic three-fold tertiary structure symmetry. However, evidence of this symmetry is not readily apparent at the level of the primary structure. This suggests that while selective pressures may exist to retain (or converge upon) a symmetric tertiary structure, other selective pressures have resulted in divergence of the primary structure during evolution. Using intra-chain and homologue sequence comparisons for 19 members of this family of proteins, we have designed mutants of FGF-1 that constrain a subset of core-packing residues to three-fold symmetry at the level of the primary structure. The consequences of these mutations upon structure, stability, folding and unfolding kinetics have been evaluated using a combination of x-ray crystallography, differential scanning calorimetry, isothermal equilibrium denaturation and stopped flow protein refolding/unfolding kinetics. An alternative core packing group has been introduced into FGF-1. The alternative core is very similar from the wild type (WT) core with regard to structure, stability, folding and unfolding kinetics. The remaining asymmetry within the protein core is related to asymmetry in the tertiary structure. The removal of tertiary structure asymmetry greatly increases protein stability and results in a conversion from three-state to a two-state folding pathway. The tertiary structure asymmetry is intimately linked to functional regions of the protein. Surprisingly, upon deletion of the functional insertions, the mutant protein is approximately 80 times more potent than the wild type form as determined by functional bioassays. The results show that the ƒÒ-trefoil superfold is compatible with a three-fold symmetric constraint upon the core region, as might be the case if the superfold arose as a result of gene duplication/fusion events. Furthermore, this new protein arrangement can form the basis of a structural "building block" that can greatly simplify the de novo design of ƒÒ-trefoil proteins by utilizing symmetric structural complementarity. This study implies that a symmetric architecture of the £]-trefoil fold is kinetically and thermodynamically ¡§fit¡¨.

The three major types of extrainstitutional learning are learning that is assessed by credit-by-examination programs, training for which credit is recommended by the American Council on Education, and experiential learning that is assessed individually. These techniques apply most to adult students who will make up 47% of college students by 1990. This study compared academic achievement of nontraditional students who had significant amounts of extrainstitutional learning with achievement of traditional students. The subjects were graduates of a university college program over an 8-year period. Achievement was measured by quality point average and other ways. Achievement of nontraditional students did not differ significantly from that of traditional students. There was negligible correlation between either age or number of extrainstitutional credits with quality point average. These findings empirically supported current national policies and institutional practices regarding recognition of extrainstitutional learning.

Show moreThe purpose of this study was to determine if postsecondary vocational teachers who reviewed a chapter taken from a traditional, commercial textbook and revised using instructional design criteria had significantly different attitudes toward adopting the chapter from teachers who reviewed the original, unrevised version. This study also assessed whether the revisions had a positive effect on student performance., Nine instructional designers followed Gagne's events of instruction to prescribe revisions of the chapter to make it more effective in teaching specified objectives. The Instructional Materials Acceptance Questionnaire was developed to measure teachers' expression of acceptance/rejection behaviors toward using the material. A criterion-referenced achievement test was developed to measure student performance on the chapter's objectives. Information was collected on the effects of reading ability on student performance on both versions of the instructional material, on the time spent by learners to complete the chapter and the test, and on learners' attitudes., There was no evidence to show that teachers who reviewed the modified chapter were more or less willing to use it than teachers who reviewed the original version. Teachers expressed slightly favorable attitudes toward using both versions of the instructional material. However, the instructional design revisions did significantly improve student performance on a criterion-referenced achivement test. Students who read the modified chapter took 28% more time to complete it than students who read the original chapter. There was no difference in the amount of time students in the two groups took to complete the test. Teachers and learners paid more attention to content than to instructional features when forming attitudes toward using either version of the instructional material.

Title: ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE MANAGEMENT: THE DEVELOPMENT OF A GENERAL TRADE-CREDIT-LIMIT ALGORITHM.
Creator: BESLEY, SCOTT., Florida State University
Abstract/Description: The purpose of this study is to construct a general credit-limit algorithm that is consistent with the firm's goal of wealth maximization under funds constraints. Specifically, the net present value (NPV) technique is employed to build a foundation for the model because its acceptability is well established in capital budgeting theory.

Show moreThe purpose of this study is to construct a general credit-limit algorithm that is consistent with the firm's goal of wealth maximization under funds constraints. Specifically, the net present value (NPV) technique is employed to build a foundation for the model because its acceptability is well established in capital budgeting theory. While it is not a novel approach in receivables management, it is rarely used to specify credit-limits. Yet, the application of NPV in the derivation of a credit-limit algorithm is conducive to satisfying the requisite that credit-limit decisions and accept/reject decisions are concurrent credit-granting considerations. Moreover, by incorporating mathematical programming procedures, funds limitations can be considered to ensure the resources of the firm are not incorrectly invested in receivables "loans". Therefore, it is a fundamental contention that the credit-granting decision must be approached not only on the basis of individual accounts, but also from the standpoint of receivables in aggregate., To operationalize the credit-limit model, a default-probability model is developed. The "minimum chi-square rule" is employed because it assures the quality of minimizing misclassifications. Further, this procedure is consistent with the three characteristics which are important to the derivation of a practicable credit-limit algorithm; namely, (1) theoretical consistency, for interpretive rationale, (2) parsimony, for ease of understanding, and (3) practicability, for the possibility of future application., An integral part of the dissertation is a survey of current credit-limit practices, which provides an update to existing literature. The general findings suggest that credit-limits represent a device utilized by lending firms to control exposure to the risks associated with extending credit. But the actual techniques used to establish the limits are quite subjective. This implies the more theoretically sound and sophisticated methods proposed in the academic literature are not employed in the real world.

Title: ACHIEVEMENT AND ATTITUDES OF INTERMEDIATE AGE CHILDREN IN GRADES FOUR, FIVE, AND SIX RELATIVE TO THE READING COMPREHENSION OF POETRY.

Show moreWhether intermediate-age children like poetry and whether boys and girls express themselves in a similar manner regarding their likes and dislikes of poetry were two of the research questions addressed in this research. Two other research questions were concerned with the possible existence of a difference in reading achievement among intermediate grades and between sexes in ability to comprehend general reading material and in ability to comprehend poetry as well as in attitude toward reading prose and in attitude toward reading poetry. The last two primary research questions were concerned with whether teachers could predict how students would perform on a poetry test and whether students' expressed preferences for poems would correlate with their performance when reading and answering questions on those poems. Upon analyzing the obtained data, it was found that children expressed favorable attitudes toward poetry. With the exception of boys in the sixth grade, boys and girls both expressed positive attitudes more frequently than was expected, making categorized data statistically significant. Reading comprehension achievement showed statistically significant differences by grades for prose and for poetry, but there were differences by grade by sex only on achievement when reading poetry. Regarding attitudes toward reading, there were no differences by grades or by grades by sex toward reading prose; there were differences expressed by students by grades and the main effect of grades only on the two-way ANOVA by grade by sex toward reading poetry. Teachers were able to predict student performance in comprehension on a poetry test but student preferences were not correlated with student performance on their choices for best-liked and least-liked poems. One hundred and ninety-four students participated in the research with a randomly selected group of 62 students from the three grades who participated in the Q-sort for poem preferences.

Title: ACHIEVEMENT AND EQUITY IN PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SECONDARY SCHOOLS: AN ANALYTICAL AND EMPIRICAL RESPONSE TO THE CONTINUING DEBATE.
Creator: BICKEL, ROBERT NORMAN., Florida State University
Abstract/Description: In 1966, James Coleman and his associates published a controversial monograph entitled Equality of Educational Opportunity. The two most durable conclusions reported in this still-influential application of the input-output model of school effectiveness were as follows: schooling is ineffective as an agency of social mobility, and one school is about as effective as another in promoting academic achievement., In 1982, however, Coleman and a new set of colleagues published a comparison of...
Show moreIn 1966, James Coleman and his associates published a controversial monograph entitled Equality of Educational Opportunity. The two most durable conclusions reported in this still-influential application of the input-output model of school effectiveness were as follows: schooling is ineffective as an agency of social mobility, and one school is about as effective as another in promoting academic achievement., In 1982, however, Coleman and a new set of colleagues published a comparison of public and private high schools, entitled High School Achievement. In contrast with Coleman's earlier work, Coleman, Hoffer, and Kilgore concluded that some high schools are able to promote social mobility, and some high schools are superior to others in promoting academic achievement. Generally, Coleman, Hoffer, and Kilgore concluded, private high schools are superior to public high schools on both counts., My review of the input-output literature provides the perpective needed for an improved empirical response to both issues, and for reconciling the differences between Equality of Educational Opportunity and High School Achievement. I use Scholastic Aptitude test (SAT) and College Board Achievement (CBAT) data to compare all public and private high schools in Florida in 1982-83 and 1983-84, and in the U.S. in 1983-84., Using multiple regression analysis, I find that public and private high schools are equally effective in promoting achievement in English and American history. Public schools, however, enjoy a small but consistent advantage in promoting mathematics achievement., With regard to English, mathematics, and American history achievement, I find no differences between public and private high schools in facilitating social mobility by severing ties between achievement and socially ascribed traits, such as family income and race., My analyses are superior to previous work by Coleman and others in that I more adequately deal with selectivity bias, regression model specification, curriculum sensitivity of outcome measures, and stability of results from one data set to another.
