Globalization and Sweatshop Labor: the Role of Student Activism in Educational Institutions and Ethical Business
No full textThis thesis describes how student activism changed the way the University handled garments sold in the University\u27s bookstore. Describing her experience implementing the Sweatshop Free Policy on the Regis University campus, the author talks about the many important steps made towards making the University 100% sweatshop free. She describes her excitement in seeing changes that happened at Regis and believes further implementation of the policy is crucial in order for Regis to live up to its ethical standards as they are laid out in the Jesuit tradition. She further advocates the Sweatshop Free Policy should be revised and scrutinized as it continues to grow in the years to come, as alternative options for sweatshop free apparel become more readily available. _______________________________________________________________________

No full textCette etude porte sur la description d´un nouveau genre et d´une nouvelle espece d´oribate, Argentinovertex coineaui n. gen., n,sp., provenant de la litiere de Prosopisflexuosa (Algarrobos), recoltee dans la Province phytogeographique du « Monte », en Republique d´Argentine. La description de ce nouveau taxon est etablie apartir des stases adultes males et femelles, et de la tritonymphe; des dessins scbematiques et des photos au Microscope Electronique a Balayage donnent des renseignements complementaires. Le nouveau genre Argentinovertex presente des differences importantes avec les autres genres de la famille Scutovertecidae, notamment: le type de cerotegument; la forme du capuchon rostral; l´absence de poil in; le nombre des poils et l´aspect du notogaster ; la structure laterale du corps; la forme des pattes et la distribution et la forme des poils; la forme du prodorsum, et la distribution et la forme des poils gastronotiques de la tritonympheA new genus and species, Argentinovertex coineaui gen. nov., sp. nov., collected on Prosopis flexuosa litter (Mesquite) in the Monte phytogeographic Province, Argentine Republic, is described from adult males and females, and the tritonymph; some schematic drawings and scanning electron micrographs give further information. The new genus Argentinovertex shows noticeable differences to the other genera of the family Scutovertecidae, especially: type of cerotegument; rostral hood shape; lack of setae in; notogastral shape and number of notogastral setae; lateral structure of body; leg shape, distribution and shape of leg setae; prodorsum shape, distribution and shape of gastronotal setae in tritonymph.Fil: Fernández, Néstor Alfredo.

Towards Establishing a Change Management Process at an Academic Research Laboratory Network
No full textThis report focuses on the evaluation and development of a change management process for the Regis University Academic Research Network (ARNe), and specifically the SEAD Practicum. The author originally proposed expanding on a security audit performed on the ARNe in 2008, and researched, evaluated and presents several risk assessment methodologies. This broad approach was later focused on the practical aspects of developing a change management process for the ARNe/SEAD Practicum, based on researching applicable standards and best practice guidance. A management questionnaire and user survey were developed and distributed to obtain valuable opinions and perspectives from the individuals most directly involved with the administration and use of the ARNe and SEAD Practicum portal
Integrating Jesuit Core Values and Service Learning for Successful Marketing Classes at Regis University
No full textThe first section of this article identifies four Jesuit values and describes their meaning relevant to a teaching environment. Next the article defines and describes service learning from the faculty member and Regis University perspective. The next section describes how each of these Jesuit values is integrated in a meaningful and relevant way into a marketing course using a service learning project as the vehicle to demonstrate their meaning. The author uses examples from her Advertising and Promotion and Consumer Behavior marketing classes to illustrate these concepts. The author teaches accelerated classes for non-traditional students. This means the classes are held once a week for four hours for either five or eight weeks. The students are comprised of adults with families and careers. These examples are from classes taught in the classroom, but she has also adapted them to online classes as well
The DIANA underground accelerator facility project at DUSEL laboratory
No full textThe DIANA project (Dakota Ion Accelerators for Nuclear Astrophysics) is a collaboration between the University of Notre Dame, Colorado School of Mines, Regis University, University of North Carolina, Western Michigan University, and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, to build a next generation nuclear astrophysics accelerator facility deep underground. The DIANA accelerator facility is being designed to achieve large laboratory reaction rates by delivering high ion beam currents (up to 100 mA) to a high density (up to 1018 atoms/cm2), super-sonic jet-gas target. The accelerator developments of the DIANA facility are presented here. © Copyright owned by the author(s)
Recommendation for an E-Commerce Implementation for a Small Business
No full textSmall Business E-Commerce Solution With the prevalence of the Internet it is important for many small businesses to have a Web presence to remain competitive. For this professional project the author has researched and proposed what it would take to put together an end-to-end E-commerce solution for a small local fly-fishing company in Boulder, Colorado and made a recommendation for implementation. This included researching what was available both open source and commercially for each of the E-commerce web site components, studying the business needs, and making a recommendation for implementation. This allowed the author to pull together what has been learned throughout the Regis MSCIT E-commerce program and apply it in a meaningful way. The project will had the following scope: requirement analysis that included a recommendation for a quality E-commerce enabled web site implementation including: domain registration, web site development (prototype), software development tools, hardware, E-Payment system selection, database integration, order fulfillment, Internet Service Provider (ISP) selection criteria, marketing the site, establishing trust, security, and a support & maintenance plan
Who Needs Thomas Pynchon? the Role of a Post-Foundational, Reader Response Author
No full textThis thesis provides a survey of post-foundational philosophy and explains reader response theory as one possible application of its insights within the field of literary theory. The main premise that unites these two theories is that belief precedes inference. Before people encounter any element of their world or any literary work, they harbor certain presuppositions that influence how they perceive and interact with that subject. This thesis ultimately centers on the question of whether a postmodern author who buys into these theories can presume to influence readers or larger society. It asks whether people can overcome these prior beliefs in order to significantly change their worldview, interact with opposed ideologies, and ultimately alter society. Through a reader response analysis of Thomas Pynchon\u27s The Crying of Lot 49 and Inherent Vice, the author argues that post-foundationalism allows writers to influence readers in a manner that is neither specific nor direct but nonetheless valuable
