Our Eleanor: A Scrapbook Look at Eleanor Roosevelt's Remarkable Life (review)

Reviewed by: Our Eleanor: A Scrapbook Look at Eleanor Roosevelt's Remarkable Life April Spisak Fleming, Candace Our Eleanor: A Scrapbook Look at Eleanor Roosevelt's Remarkable Life. Schwartz/Atheneum, 2005176p illus. with photographs ISBN 0-689-86544-9$19.95 R Gr. 6-9 This well-rounded biography presents the fears and weaknesses as well as the intelligence, grace, and confidence of Eleanor Roosevelt. Presenting more than an analysis of her tenure in the White House, the work covers Roosevelt from birth and continues beyond her death in a discussion of her impact on politics, feminism, and future First Ladies. Fleming does not shy away from some of the more controversial details of her subject (alleged anti-Semitism and lesbianism) but presents enough evidence and perspectives to allow readers to draw their own conclusions; the writing is decorous without being coy or evasive. Mostly, though, the book emphasizes the work that earned Roosevelt her legendary status, balanced with quirky details (maniacal driving and lowbrow food preferences) that help to ground the memory of her as impressive but human. An extensive offering of drawings, photographs, and handwritten documents interweave with the main text in bordered boxes that do indeed result in a browsable, scrapbook effect. For those left-brained researchers or individuals seeking a single fact, a timeline and comprehensive index present the essential details in an orderly fashion. Source notes and a "More about Eleanor" section listing recommended books, videos, and websites are also included. Reluctant readers and visual learners will appreciate the pairing of this with Russell Freedman's more traditionally organized Eleanor Roosevelt: A Life of Discovery (BCCB 10/93).

Routine cervical dilatation during elective cesarean section and its influence on maternal morbidity: a randomized controlled study

To determine the effect of routine intraoperative cervical dilatation during elective cesarean section on maternal morbidity. Patients with even numbers in the operative elective cesarean section list were included in the study. Of these, every second patient underwent intraoperative cervical dilatation. All participants in the two groups had otherwise similar preoperative care, operative procedures and subsequent clinical care. Blood loss was estimated and maternal infection status was assessed postoperatively by any rise of temperature or wound infection. Of the 131 patients included in the study, 67 underwent cervical dilation and 64 served as controls. There was no significant difference in postoperative hemoglobin, incidence of fever, or wound infection between the two groups. Only two of the cervical dilation group and one control patient developed postoperative fever. A hemoglobin drop of more than 0.5 g/dL was noted in 27 and 26 patients in the cervical dilation and the no dilation groups, respectively (NS). None of the study patients had signs of wound infection. Intraoperative cervical dilatation during elective cesarean section did not reduce the risk of postoperative maternal fever, wound infection or change in hemoglobin concentration.

Sectional Classification of the North American Plagiochila (Hepaticae, Plagiochilaceae)

The sectional subdivision of the North American Plagiochila is largely based on Schusters' comprehensive treatments of the genus. Here we summarize the results of recent morphological, molecular, and chemical work and present an updated section and species list. Internal Transcribed Spacer sequences of nuclear ribosomal DNA are used to clarify the sectional position of the Western Holarctic endemic Plagiochila austinii (member of the Asian sect. Trabeculatae) and to confirm the recently proposed synonymy of Plagiochila sciophila and P. euryphyllon. North American Plagiochila are subdivided into the sects. Arrectae, Cucullatae, Peculiares, Plagiochila, Rutilantes, Trabeculatae, and Vagae.

Two-hadron semi-inclusive production including subleading twist contributions

We extend the analysis of two-hadron fragmentation functions to the subleading twist, discussing also the issue of color gauge invariance. Our results can be used anywhere two unpolarized hadrons are semi-inclusively produced in the same fragmentation region, also at moderate values of the hard scale Q. Here, we consider the example of polarized deep-inelastic production of two hadrons and we give a complete list of cross sections and spin asymmetries up to the subleading twist. Among the results, we highlight the possibility of extracting the transversity distribution with longitudinally polarized targets and also the twist-3 distribution $e(x),$ which is related to the pion-nucleon $\ensuremath{\sigma}$ term and to the strangeness content of the nucleon.

混合主成分分析による部材断面表現を用いた鋼構造骨組の最適設計法

A method is proposed for expressing reduced member dimensions of an optimization problem. This method is based on mixture model for probabilistic principal component analyzers for feature extraction of given member section list, whose parameter can be determined using an expectation-maximization algorithm. In this paper, a new efficient method enables to find an optimum set of member sections of the steel building frames so that total weight would be minimum subject to constraints on interstory drifts under design spectrum-compatible earthquakes.

二段階緩和法に基づく鋼構造骨組の最適離散断面選択法

A method is proposed for selecting optimum discrete sections of steel frames using a two-step relaxation method. At the first step, the discrete optimization problem is approximately solved by using a continuous optimization problem wherein approximate expressions are applied to the standard sections. At the second step, the near optimal set of discrete sections is selected using the solution of the relaxation problem whose design space is limited to the neighborhood of the optimal solution obtained in the first step. Through the numerical example of a 6-story 5-bay plane frame under elastic constraints, it is demonstrated that a discrete solution can be obtained whose rate of increase in total steel volume from the continuous optimum design is only 1.8%. This approach is general enoueh to be applied to the problems under elastic-plastic constraints and those with any type of standard section lists.

Perceptions regarding school-based occupational therapy for children with emotional disturbances.

The purpose of this study was to identify the perceived appropriateness, extent, and types of services provided by occupational therapists to children with emotional disturbances in public schools. A nationally mailed survey was conducted of randomly selected school occupational therapists derived from the American Occupational Therapy Association School System Special Interest Section list. The sampling frame was 982 with a response rate of 48% (n = 476). Eighty-seven percent of all respondents were supportive of school occupational therapy for students with emotional disturbances, although these students made up only a small proportion of their caseload. The therapists indicated that a variety of intervention approaches were used with most targeting educational areas, especially handwriting. The most commonly reported intervention was sensory integration. Many respondents perceived that they could not provide effective interventions because they were not appropriately trained. Perceived lack of knowledge and confusion about occupational therapy's role may lead to underutilization of occupational therapy for addressing the complex needs of children with emotional disturbances. Further research and discussion are needed in the profession to arrive at consensus regarding what approaches are most appropriate and effective in schools.

Empirically Derived Guidelines for Assessing the Psychosocial Needs of Children and Adolescents with Sickle Cell

This paper introduces an empirically derived psychosocial assessment form that may facilitate the incorporation of the growing body of research on sickle cell into the psychosocial assessment process. The psychosocial assessment form was guided by two theoretical models that explain the variability in adjustment among children and adolescents with sickle cell-the Disability-Stress-Coping Model (Wallender, Varni, Babani, Banis, & Wilcox, 1989) and the Transactional Stress and Coping Model (Thompson. Gustafson, George Spock, 1994). The Psychosocial Assessment Form consists of two sections. The first section includes primary indicators of adjustment such as internalizing disorders, externalizing disorders, school performance, and difficulties in social relationships. The second section lists secondary indicators of adjustment including intrapersonal factors, stress processing factors, and social ecological factors. The literature that guided this form is also reviewed.

Oral rehydration, emergency physicians, and practice parameters: a national survey.

Treatment of dehydrating gastroenteritis, a major cause of morbidity in children, remains controversial. Practice parameters issued by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommend oral rehydration therapy (ORT) as the preferred treatment for losses from both mild and moderate dehydration. The objective of this study was to test the hypothesis that awareness of the AAP practice parameters would be associated with a higher rate of use of ORT among emergency physicians. A national random survey of emergency physicians selected from the mailing list of the AAP Section on Emergency Medicine was conducted. Respondents were asked about level of awareness of AAP guidelines and preferred route of rehydration for scenarios representing mild (< or =5%), moderate (6%-9%), and severe (> or =10%) dehydration. Respondents who were very familiar with the AAP practice parameters were designated as the familiar group; those who were less familiar were designated as the unfamiliar group. Differences in proportions of dichotomous variables were tested by chi2 or Fisher exact test as appropriate. Univariate logistic regression modeling was used to determine the independent influence of awareness of AAP guidelines on the use of ORT. A total of 176 physicians responded (73% response rate). Most were board certified in 1 or more specialties: pediatrics (89%), pediatric emergency medicine (84%), and adult emergency medicine (63%). Median duration of practice was 16 years. Thirty-seven percent of respondents were very familiar with the AAP practice parameters. In contrast to the unfamiliar group, the familiar group was more likely to use ORT in scenarios of mild dehydration (81% vs 66%) and moderate dehydration (25% vs 10%). Logistic regression analysis confirmed that this familiar group overall was nearly 3 times more likely to use ORT (odds ratio: 2.85; 95% confidence interval: 2.46-3.24). This is the first national study to establish a relationship between awareness of the AAP practice parameters and physician practices in the treatment of dehydration. Emergency medicine physicians who were very familiar with the AAP parameters were significantly more likely to use ORT. These findings may have important implications for future efforts directed at increasing the rate of ORT use and for the evaluation of practice parameters in general.

Researching Hong Kong English: bibliographical resources

This paper provides a brief guide to published research relevant to the study of Hong Kong Kong English, together with a selective bibliography. Hong Kong now has a thriving research culture although a substantial proportion of published research has earlier been devoted to applied linguistic and language pedagogy, where the discussion of ‘Hong Kong English’ has frequently been linked to studies of error analysis and interlanguage. The selective bibliography attempts to survey published research in those areas of sociolinguistics and applied linguistics of most relevance to the world Englishes paradigm, and also includes a section listing publications related to Hong Kong creative writing in English. The final section lists extant bibliographies in print and/or available online via the Internet.

NGOs, the Government, and the Private Sector in Chile

Relations between the private sector and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) in Chile are growing and improving as a result of the recent democratization of Chilean society and accelerating global integration of its economy. Both groups are just now coming to terms with these changes and are seeking to adjust their relations with each other and this new society. Yet, historic distrust and antipathy between the two groups remains a significant problem.1 A culture of distrust and disinterest among the Chilean private sector toward nonprofit work and volunteerism is another factor from the past that continues to affect relations. Although the situation is starting to change, at present, historical animosities remain strong. Democratization is introducing public participation and debate into realms that were until recently the sole province of state fiat. In the environmental area this is manifest in the Basic Law on the Environment. This law is an evolving experiment to develop environmental policy and regulation. The law which originally encouraged environmental assessments (EAs) for large projects, has recently been amended so that they are now required. More importantly, the law codifies the right of public participation in this process. This is compelling new considerations into project planning as groups that were ignored in the past must now be brought into the development process. Global integration is forcing consideration of issues such as the harmonization of environmental regulations with NAFTA standards. More significantly though, integration, in the form of joint ventures, is introducing the concept of business responsibility in environmental and social concerns to the Chilean private sector. While this has not changed its historic animosity toward NGOs, it has brought a realization that working with NGOs, especially the new breed of NGOs, is possible. This new breed of NGO is the result of a transformation within the NGO community. Older confrontational organizations that are products of the anti-Pinochet movement and rigid in their hostility to the private sector are becoming marginalized by, or evolving into, more moderate organizations. The means by which older NGOs are being marginalized is funding. The newer groups are starting to attract funding from domestic sources including the private sector. This is something that the old-line NGOs have never been able to accomplish. A second consequence of global integration and democratization has been to force the private sector to rethink, and in many cases consider for the first time, how it can work with civil society which has concomitantly, engendered the demand for this new type of NGO. The Chilean government mirrors the historic conflict between old-line NGOs and the private sector. Both groups exercise influence with those in the government sympathetic to their views. Though the business community seems to have an advantage in this regard, it is not absolute and political influence can shift depending upon the constituency behind the issue at hand. This exercise of influence is also unilateral. NGOs and the business community lobby the government but the government has little influence with, or control over, the two groups in return. The government has turned to NGOs for advice in drafting environmental legislation and developing social assistance programs. In the health and housing sectors, for example, the government continues to rely upon NGOs to identify areas of need and develop innovations in service delivery. The report identifies and discusses the most important characteristics of the NGO and business communities in Chile. It then discusses NGO funding issues and concludes with an analysis of future prospects. Included are two case studies that illustrate these. Annexes contain a list of prominent NGOs and sections of the Basic Law on the Environment dealing with citizen participation in environmental assessments.

Affirmative action policies are demeaning to women in academia.

AbstractPreferential hiring policies are often based on the erroneous assumption that if designated group is not represented in an occupation or profession in the same proportion as it is represented in the population, then negative discrimination has taken place. In the school of discrimination-logic, no alternative explanations are considered. Not only is it asserted that the white male majority keeps women out by deliberate exclusion, but also by creating climate in which women are uncomfortable. This explanation is emphasized particularly for the smaller numbers of women in science and engineering.Although there may have been bias in favour of males in the past, look at the evidence suggests that, currently, women in Canada are being hired in academic institutions at rates higher than would be expected from the number of qualified applicants. Moreover, their persisting low representation in some fields may be matter largely of self-selection, reflecting different talents, different emphasis on the importance of family, and different occupational preferences from men.Hiring women over better-qualified men will inevitably lead to the downgrading of women in academia, to reduced respect for the professoriate, to poorer education for students, and to deterioration of collegial relations between men and women.A colleague of mine (not in the Department) had discussion recently with two graduate students about the advisability of hiring more women in their department. His comment was along the lines have no objection to hiring competent women, but I do not think we should hire someone on the basis of possessing vagina. This reductio ad absurdum pungently encapsulates the objection many of us have to preferential hiring policies, because it points out the absurdity of the extraneous criteria. How can one justify academic decisions based on the possession of one or another set of genitalia? or on skin colour? Lest some readers feel that such comment denigrates women, in that it reduces them to sexual beings, I should point out that those sectors of society that most avidly promote the preferential hiring of women are generally also those who erroneously deny any native differences between men and women other than just such obvious physical differences.Affirmative action policies are just one aspect of the complex generally referred to as correctness, and which has been defined by several of the other authors of this special issue. as discipline probably more often suffers from the excesses of political correctness than it perpetrates them. Anyone who studies the variation in behaviour associated with sex, race, and even age, will probably have encountered, at the very least, disapproval. The bulk of such negative reactions do not come from fellow psychologists. We may have avoided some of the difficulties of other Social Science disciplines, such as Political Science and Sociology. For example, Sociology's current status has been described by noted sociologist as a set of ideologies ... instead of ... study of ideology (Horowitz, 1993). I would speculate that the extent to which has escaped is in part related to the fact that in recent years it has become more and more biological science, in practice and not just in name. To that extent it has broadened its consideration of the root causes of behaviour and has avoided the narrow socialization (politically correct) point of view.But lest we congratulate ourselves prematurely, list of special sections of the American Psychological Association and the Canadian Psychological Association (CPA) should give us pause. It includes not only discipline specialties such as Developmental, and Experimental but also sections which have no discipline connotation and which have dubious place in academic associations. These include Women and Psychology and Ethnic Minority Issues, etc. …

Ancrene Wisse, the Katherine Group, and the Wooing Group

Its extended General Introduction surveys the history of scholarship on the Ancrene Wisse Group, and the methodological problems involved in its research. A separate section lists and discusses the manuscripts of the works of the Group, with references for further reading. There is a chronologically-arranged General Bibliography with full annotations, an Index of Scholars and Critics, and a general subject-index.

Expert Project Recommendation Procedure for Arizona Department of Transportation’s Pavement Management System

The Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) uses a network-level pavement management system to determine budget requirements for its annual pavement preservation program. Although this is a valuable tool for preservation programming, it does not assist the engineers with the selection of projects and rehabilitation treatments. The documented research was designed to enhance the capability of ADOT’s pavement management system to include project selection. An automatic project recommendation procedure was developed and implemented in a user-friendly, modular computer program. This automatic system is expected to reduce considerably the effort required to develop the preservation programs. It should improve the consistency of the decision process. The analysis starts with a section delineation procedure that delineates uniform roadway sections. It then computes the remaining service life of each uniform section by using linear performance equations and trigger points defined for each condition indicator. An artificial neural network simulator is used to screen and recommend roadway sections for the preservation program. The trained artificial neural network prepares a list of candidate sections, using the criteria learned from past selections and the current condition of all pavement sections. This preliminary list of candidate sections is further analyzed by a project recommendation procedure. This procedure recommends a preservation treatment, assigns a priority rating to each section in the list, and sorts the projects by priority. Funding is assigned to the highest-priority sections within each roadway group until the budget recommendation provided by the network optimization process is reached.

Want Ads and Jobs for the Poor: A Glaring Mismatch

This study tested the claim that newspaper help-wanted sections list enough jobs for all who want work. We counted jobs listed in The Washington Post's help-wanted section, sorting them by skill, education, and experience to identify those available to the unemployed poor. Then we asked employers how many people had applied. Only 13% of all vacancies and only 8% of all full-time vacancies offered work for the unemployed poor. Although these menial jobs paid low wages and rarefy offered fringe benefits, they received an average of 21 applications and were quickly filled. The tight labor market for menial jobs portends great difficulty in securing paid employment for people now being evicted from the Aid to Families with Dependent Children program.

A Handbook of American Military History: From the Revolutionary War to the Present (review)

350CIVIL WAR history Despite the above criticisms, students and scholars of Southern history should benefit from this analytical and provocative account of nineteenthcentury Mississippi history. William C. Harris North Carolina State University A Handbook ofAmerican Military History: From the Revolutionary War to the Present. Edited by Jerry K. Sweeney. (Boulder, Co.: Westview Press, 1996. Pp. 319. $59.00.) This book purports to be a starting point for anyone with an interest in American military history. That is all it could be, given the book's uneven quality. The book itselfis nicely organized into six separate and distinct periods: 1775-1815, 1816-65, 1866-1914, 1915-41, 1942-63, and 1964-present. Each period then has a chronology, a section on noted military operations, short biographical sketches of selected figures of the period, and, finally, a list ofselected readings preceded by a brief historiographical discussion. The introductory essay for each period is well written and concise. The decision to include a historiograhical essay is an interesting one. The rapidly changing nature of historical literature, however, will quickly relegate these essays to the status of period pieces. Nonetheless, one must credit the editor with an interesting approach. The problems with the book appear in the more reference-oriented sections. Although keeping the entries in the chronology as short as possible is a laudable idea, sometimes the entries are so cryptic as to be meaningless. The entry for March 3, 1779, for example, is simply "Battle of Briar Creek." Where it happened , who was involved, and who won are left out. The short synopses ofmilitary operations are very uneven in coverage. In the section covering the Civil War, the East is given extensive coverage, while matters in Kentucky and Tennessee are given short-schrift, and almost no mention is made of the Civil War west of the Mississippi. The biographical sketches are generally good, and some good treatment is given to relatively obscure figures. Again, the problem is unevenness. In the Revolutionary War section, it is nice to see some attention given to David Bushneil and Margaret Corbin, but there are no entries for Light Horse Harry Lee and Lafayette. In the Civil War section, there is no mention of William S. Rosecrans, but John C. Fremont rates an entry. Likewise, there is no mention of William R. Shafter or even of Leonard Wood. The selected reading list is based on the idea of giving people some current works. Newer, however, is not necessarily better. The reading list for the Civil War section lists the books on Chancellorsville by Edward Stackpole and Ernest B. Furgurson. Neither, however, comes close in quality to John BOOK REVIEWS35I Bigelow's superb study, although it is much older. The complete omission of Douglas Southall Freeman's Lee's Lieutenants is a glaring error. Finally, the tone and language of the book reeks, at least to me, of political correctness. This is nowhere more apparent than in the term "Hispano-American War." Since the United States declared war on the Spanish government, and fought the Spanish army and the Spanish navy, why not call it what it has always been called, the Spanish-American War? Taken all together, the book's concept is good but falls short in the execution. Some libraries, to be sure, will pick it up and probably should. For the individual scholar or student of history, it is not worth the price. R. L. DiNardo Saint Peter's College ...

Generic deformations of Lagrangian and Legendrian maps

a. Investigating ocean and atmosphere flows Nye and Thorndike [2] have studied typical bifurcations of three dimensional vector fields depending on time. One can describe such a field as a one-parameter family of maps from R to R or as a map from R×R = R to R. To study them the authors of [2] consider sections of stable maps from R to R. There is one family in their list of typical sections for which the set of critical values for an isolated value of the parameter is equal to the caustic of a Lagrangian D4 map. This leads to another problem: To study properties of Lagrangian and Legendrian maps included in generic families of maps with a suitable number of parameters. In this way V -versal deformations of Lagrangian Dk and Legendrian Ak maps are considered below.
