Philosophical Legal Ethics: Ethics, Morals, and Jurisprudence
No full textThe authors and moderator David Luban participated in a plenary session of the International Legal Ethics Conference IV, held at Stanford. Each author answered and discussed questions arising from short papers they had written about the principal concern of legal ethics was the morality of lawyers, the morality of clients, or the morality of laws?
Those papers, which are to be published in Legal Ethics, are compiled here, along with the question and background information with which the panelists were provided
An accurate and portable solid state neutron rem meter
No full textAccurately resolving the ambient neutron dose equivalent spanning the thermal to 15 MeV energy range with a single configuration and lightweight instrument is desirable. This paper presents the design of a portable, high intrinsic efficiency, and accurate neutron rem meter whose energy-dependent response is electronically adjusted to a chosen neutron dose equivalent standard. The instrument may be classified as a moderating type neutron spectrometer, based on an adaptation to the classical Bonner sphere and position sensitive long counter, which, simultaneously counts thermalized neutrons by high thermal efficiency solid state neutron detectors. The use of multiple detectors and moderator arranged along an axis of symmetry (e.g., long axis of a cylinder) with known neutron-slowing properties allows for the construction of a linear combination of responses that approximate the ambient neutron dose equivalent. Variations on the detector configuration are investigated via Monte Carlo N-Particle simulations to minimize the total instrument mass while maintaining acceptable response accuracy—a dose error less than 15% for bare [superscript 252]Cf, bare AmBe, an epi-thermal and mixed monoenergetic sources is found at less than 4.5 kg moderator mass in all studied cases. A comparison of the energy dependent dose equivalent response and resultant energy dependent dose equivalent error of the present dosimeter to commercially-available portable rem meters and the prior art are presented. Finally, the present design is assessed by comparison of the simulated output resulting from applications of several known neutron sources and dose rates
Chapter 2: The Tutor's Role
No full textThe OTiS (Online Teaching in Scotland) programme, run by the now defunct Scotcit programme, ran an International e-Workshop on Developing Online Tutoring Skills which was held between 8–12 May 2000. It was organised by Heriot–Watt University, Edinburgh and The Robert Gordon University, Aberdeen, UK. Out of this workshop came the seminal Online Tutoring E-Book, a generic primer on e-learning pedagogy and methodology, full of practical implementation guidelines. Although the Scotcit programme ended some years ago, the E-Book has been copied to the SONET site as a series of PDF files, which are now available via the ALT Open Access Repository. The editor, Carol Higgison, is currently working in e-learning at the University of Bradford (see her staff profile) and is the Chair of the Association for Learning Technology (ALT)
The Tutor's Role
No full textThis chapter addresses three questions about being an effective online tutor: 1. Why do we still think that online tutoring can principally draw its basis from face-to-face group processes and dynamics or traditional pedagogy? 2. Does the literature tell us anything more than we would make as an intelligent guess? 3. Do we really know what an ‘effective’ online tutor would be doing? The OTiS participants have gone some way to answering these questions, through the presentation and discussion of their own online tutoring experiences. Literature in this area is still limited, and suffers from the need for timeliness of publication to be useful. Intelligent guesses are all very well, but much better as a source of information for online tutors are the reflections and documented experiences of practitioners. These experiences reveal that face-to-face pedagogy has some elements to offer the online tutor, but that there are key differences and there is a need to examine the processes and dynamics of online learning to inform online tutoring
Blood CEA levels for detecting recurrent colorectal cancer: A Diagnostic Test Accuracy Review.
No full textBackground Testing for carcino-embryonic antigen (CEA) in the blood is a recommended part of follow-up to detect recurrence of colorectal cancer following primary curative treatment. There is substantial clinical variation in the cut-off level applied to trigger further investigation. Objectives To determine the diagnostic performance of different blood CEA levels in identifying people with colorectal cancer recurrence in order to inform clinical practice. Search methods We conducted all searches to January 29 2014. We applied no language limits to the searches, and translated non-English manuscripts. We searched for relevant reviews in the MEDLINE, EMBASE, MEDION and DARE databases. We searched for primary studies (including conference abstracts) in the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), in MEDLINE, EMBASE, and the Science Citation Index and Conference Proceedings Citation Index – Science. We identified ongoing studies by searching WHO ICTRP and the ASCO meeting library. Selection criteria We included cross-sectional diagnostic test accuracy studies, cohort studies, and randomised controlled trials (RCTs) of post-resection colorectal cancer follow-up that compared CEA to a reference standard. We included studies only if we could extract 2 x 2 accuracy data. We excluded case-control studies, as the ratio of cases to controls is determined by the study design, making the data unsuitable for assessing test accuracy. Data collection and analysis Two review authors (BDN, IP) assessed the quality of all articles independently, discussing any disagreements. Where we could not reach consensus, a third author (BS) acted as moderator. We assessed methodological quality against QUADAS-2 criteria. We extracted binary diagnostic accuracy data from all included studies as 2 x 2 tables. We conducted a bivariate meta-analysis. We used the xtmelogit command in Stata to produce the pooled estimates of sensitivity and specificity and we also produced hierarchical summary ROC plots. Main results In the 52 included studies, sensitivity ranged from 41% to 97% and specificity from 52% to 100%. In the seven studies reporting the impact of applying a threshold of 2.5 µg/L, pooled sensitivity was 82% (95% confidence interval (CI) 78% to 86%) and pooled specificity 80% (95% CI 59% to 92%). In the 23 studies reporting the impact of applying a threshold of 5 µg/L, pooled sensitivity was 71% (95% CI 64% to 76%) and pooled specificity 88% (95% CI 84% to 92%). In the seven studies reporting the impact of applying a threshold of 10 µg/L, pooled sensitivity was 68% (95% CI 53% to 79%) and pooled specificity 97% (95% CI 90% to 99%). Authors' conclusions CEA is insufficiently sensitive to be used alone, even with a low threshold. It is therefore essential to augment CEA monitoring with another diagnostic modality in order to avoid missed cases. Trying to improve sensitivity by adopting a low threshold is a poor strategy because of the high numbers of false alarms generated. We therefore recommend monitoring for colorectal cancer recurrence with more than one diagnostic modality but applying the highest CEA cut-off assessed (10 µg/L)

She retired as Professor Emerita in 2008. Her advanced degrees were a Master’s and Ph.D. in Entomology from the University of Kansas. At Washburn she taught what she considered to be the fun courses in the department: zoology, entomology, parasitology, and invertebrate zoology. Her research interests included medical entomology, tropical biology, and innovative teaching techniques. McCoy studied tropical rainforest biology in Central and South America on two sabbaticals, which were life-changing experiences. In these and other trips to the tropics, she swam with giant manta rays, saw ocelots, and was mesmerized by ants. On another sabbatical she visited West- Coast insect zoos and returned to set up Washburn’s own repository of live giant charismatic bugs to use for student research, teaching, and educational outreach in the community. She was passionate about teaching, and gave many talks at many meetings on university-level biology teaching, on forensic entomology, and on protection of ecosystems. McCoy directed the Washburn Faculty Development program for four years. She was the recipient of Washburn’s Ned N. Fleming Excellence in Teaching Award in 1993 and the Herrick Award for Outstanding Service in 1999. Because of strong interests in writing and in art, she took Washburn courses in poetry writing, ceramics, fused glass and Chinese painting. In retirement she has focused on biology-based memoir writing, and her current project is The Maligned Species: Memoirs of Multi-legged Creatures. Memorial Union – Washburn B 3:00 p.m. This lecture is made possible with support from the Washburn University Foundation.

Cope, Samantha J. Silver, Karl S. Page, and Ryan W. Masotto Mentor: Diana Seitz, Music We will be describing how different themes in Dvorak's String Quartet No. 12 in F Major Opus 96 Movement II (otherwise known as the "American Quartet"), allude to the Native American culture. Also, how his Slavik background affects the way in which he composes this quartet. ►11:35 a.m. Carole Chapel Moderator: Dr. Courtney Sullivan My Rights, Your Rights, Our Rights - A Journey to Understanding Race Relations Mikki M. Burcher Mentor: Bruce Mactavish, History This creative nonfiction piece will follow the journey of a young Midwestern woman and a small group of travelers that go on an educational journey across the deep south in an effort to better understand the civil rights movement and race relations of the past and present. It describes the author's inner thoughts and feelings as she tours places of historical significance and witnesses first hand some of the effects of slavery on African Americans in Tennessee, Mississippi, and Alabama. It also describes the conversations that occur with her peers and the group leaders as they tour the south, as well as insights and personal revelations gleaned from the tour. ►11:55 a.m. Carole Chapel Moderator: Penny Weiner Bros. Ashley M. Vaughan Mentor: Penelope Weiner, Theatre WTE Throughout history gender roles have played an important part in defining society, whether positive or negative. In today's society, stereotypes of gender not only influence how others perceive us, but how we perceive ourselves. There is a constant battle between men and women and how each are classified by stereotypical characteristics that our society has engraved in us. The play, Bros. takes a look at what happens when two men who completely defy these stereotypes are set up by their very stereotypical wives to bond, and how they struggle to be 6 'manly' in front of each other. Though this play is comedic and quirky, I want to evoke in the audience a sense of how stereotypes – especially in gender – have shaped our society and caused us to lose our sense of individuality. Kevin and Mark teach us that all you have to do is be yourself, and chances are that in the end, it will be rewarding. ►12:15 p.m. Carole Chapel Moderator: Dr. Kelly Watt "Trying To Resist" - A Kinetic Commentary Alex B. Olson Mentor: Kelly Watt, Art This performance focuses on the idea of resisting the natural urge to move. As one gets older certain social expectations develop. How we act, move, and talk in public all have certain parameters in public. I especially notice this in movement, specifically dance. My piece centers on the struggle between carrying out natural expression in movement and trying to control the way we look in front of others. With attempt at this impression management it can create a fear of movement and expression all together. This piece is about breaking the resistance and submitting to our natural impulses. ►12:30 p.m. Carole Chapel Moderator: Penny Weiner "Choices" Austin J. Swisher Mentor: Penelope Weiner, Theatre WTE Choices is a short drama about a few young people making very hard decisions in the face of some of life’s most difficult situations. The majority of the content deals with societal issues such as abortion and drug use. I’ve been working on this piece off and on for almost a year now. I’ve come back to it many times to restructure the scenes and action and to further develop the characters. My current intentions are to extend it into a one-act play. My hope is that it could eventually be presented to an audience. I have experimented with writing a few different plays and though Choices has received the majority of my attention, I plan to continue working with the playwriting aspect of my theatre education. 7 Oral Presentations 1:00 p.m. – 2:50 p.m. WTE Denotes Washburn Transformational Experience Session a Moderator: Dr. Bruce Mechtly ►1:05 p.m. Law School, Room 100 The State of Kansas and Constitutional Funding for Education Matthew A. Vance Mentor: Steven Cann, Political Science - Geography As recently as this year, multiple times in the last decade, and in a process ongoing for the last twenty years, the Kansas Judicial Branch has ruled that the amount of financial aid the State of Kansas is providing to local school districts for the suitable provision of education is unconstitutional. There is certainly a lengthy dialogue and history that explicate these findings at this and all times, but the purpose of this research project was to determine if there are any statistical indicators that the state funding of local school districts is inadequate, inequitable, and/or unconstitutional. In the end, limited statistical analysis provides empirical support for the claim that the school districts in Kansas that are the largest and the most economically disparate are the school districts that are most likely to have the poorest achievement rates. Additionally, these same school districts are almost uniformly among the school districts in Kansas that receive the least state base aid per pupil. “Constitutionality” is ultimately a matter for the courts, but this analysis underscores claims of inadequate and inequitable state funding for education. ►1:30 p.m. Law School, Room 100 Melville's Maids and the Marxian Machine: Catalyst to Industrial Reform Monica L. Schroeder Mentor: Vanessa Steinroetter, English Writing during the rise of the industrial capitalist system, and influenced by the oppression of the workers he saw around him, the American author, Herman Melville, sought to awaken his contemporaries to the reality of the horrors and despair in the lives of the working class. His short story, “Tartarus of Maids”, especially vivifies the monstrosities present in the 19th century Industrial Revolution, and through the images of the machines and the women who work them, provides a startling critique of a society ruled and ruined by mass-produced industrialism. It is a work which called people to reform working conditions, most notably the mills and factories, and even work towards passing laws which would protect the workers from such abuse. Even today, Melville’s work causes us to question our own dependence on the machine and decline into a dehumanized society, making “Tartarus of Maids” still a very accessible and provocative piece of literature. 8 ►2:00 p.m. Law School, Room 100 HPLC Analysis of rRNA Tim Brown Mentor: Lisa Sharpe Elles, Chemistry WTE DBpA is a protein that belongs to a family of proteins called DEAD-box proteins. It is an ATP-dependent RNA helicase that acts on double stranded RNA. Mutant strains of E. coli that lack DbpA have shown a slow growth phenotype. The goal of this research project is to analyze the rRNA of these mutant strains to determine any composition changes that may occur without the presence of DbpA. Session β Moderator: Dr. Tony Silvestri ►1:05 p.m. Law School, Room 102 A Statistical Public Policy Research on Turban Ban in the Republic of Turkey Deren Onursal Mentor: Linsey Moddelmog, Political Science - Geography In this study, the attitude of Turkish people toward lifting the headscarf (turban) ban in universities in Turkey is analyzed. The study seeks to discover what factors contribute to predicting the probability one would support lifting of the ban on turbans. 5,292 Turkish citizens are surveyed and survey showed that 4,040 respondents declared opinion that leans toward lifting the ban. Logistic regression results indicate that more religious, less educated and politically more conservative people are more likely to support lifting the ban. ►1:30 p.m. Law School, Room 102 Reception and Perception: The Influence of the Mozart upon Mendelssohn, Schumann, Wagner, and Strauss Mary-Lucia T. Darst Mentor: Tony Silvestri, History After the death of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in 1791, European tastes in music changed. The Classical Era in music ended, and the Romantic Era began. Led by Ludwig von Beethoven, the new generation of composers developed styles of writing music that reflected their own individualism, creativity, emotional needs, or philosophic beliefs. Though the nationalities of the composers of the Romantic Era included all of the European countries, the United States, and Canada, the Austro-Germanic composers musically dominated the time period. These composers sought to articulate their own theories of the abstract value of music through the medium of 9 private letters and journal articles. As part of their discussion regarding music, they examined the musical heritage they obtained from their predecessors, specifically Josef Haydn and Mozart. Based upon their own writings, the Austro-Germanic Romantic composers viewed Mozart as the more significant of the two composers and the founder of the German musical patrimony. The music of Mozart influenced that of Felix Mendelssohn, Robert Schumann, Richard Wagner, and Richard Strauss. ►2:00 p.m. Law School, Room 102 Comparative Analysis of Attitudes Towards Abortion in Latin America Edith Jimenez Mentor: Linsey Moddelmog, Political Science - Geography Abortion is a controversial issue in Latin America as cultural and religious factors influence the way people shape their attitudes toward abortion. In Latin America, abortion is criminalized in most circumstances, yet more than 11,000 illegal abortions are carried out every day (WHO, 2008). This study seeks to understand the individual characteristics that influence one's attitude towards abortion in Latin America. World Values Survey data from 2005 for respondents from Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Chile, Guatemala, Mexico, and Peru are included in the analysis. Logistic regression results indicate that while as a whole, support for abortion is quite low in these countries. These female individuals are less active in religious practices, have greater levels of education, are older, have fewer children, and are more likely to support the use of abortion. ►2:25 p.m. Law School, Room 102 GDP per Capita and Environmentalism: Is Growth the Reason for Change? Adam Michael Teel Mentor: Linsey Moddelmog, Political Science – Geography WTE As nations such as China and India are industrializing and developing economically and politically, concerns over environmental quality are emerging. Calls from the international community for increased accountability and regulation are met with concern from developing nations about how costly environmental restrictions may impact their development. Some argue that developed nations, having already met basic material human needs such as food, water, and shelter, have individuals who are post-materialist in their ideological perspective, or rather their concerns vary greatly from those individuals in developing countries who care primarily about satisfying these basic material needs, no matter the cost to the environment (Inglehart 2000, 2008). This study seeks to determine if positive feelings toward environmentalism (a post-materialist ideal) tend to increase with the increase in gross domestic product per capita in a country. Logistic regression results indicate that there is not strong statistical association between GDP per capita and positive feelings toward environmentalism. The findings of the study are 10 limited by data availability, and future studies would do well to consider how levels of pollution and culture may impact environmentalism in a country. Session γ Moderator: Dr. Ian Smith ►1:05 p.m. Law School, Room 114 Black, White, and Color: Photographing Racial Change in the Deep South Scott M. Brackey Mentor: Bruce Mactavish, History WTE Photographs were indispensable to immortalizing the triumphs and tragedies of the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s. Moreover, the dynamic images captured in midst of the movement’s struggles have been central to how subsequent generations have conceptualized the civil rights era. When compared, photographs across time can demonstrate timeless features as well as dynamic changes in society. Washburn University’s Exploring Civil Rights tour of the American South placed students in the heart of many civil rights landmarks. Photographically documenting the experience helps to contextualize history as it relates to the present day. What has the work for equality overcome and what remains to be resolved? Does modern color photography symbolize a societal revolution that dismantled a black and white divide? This is an exploration of the racial changes in the South through the lens of a camera. ►1:30 p.m. Law School, Room 114 A Lion Can Run Fast But We Can Run Farther: Women's Economic Empowerment in Post-Colonial Kenya and Guinea Bissau Christian J. Gilbert Mentor: Kelly Erby, History Colonial patriarchal politics had long oppressed African women, introducing patriarchy and destroying the relatively egalitarian gender roles that had once existed between men and women in Guinea Bissau and Kenya. In particular, the introduction of “separate sphere” ideology shattered the important economic role women had held prior to colonization and the power that stemmed from it. After independence, African men continued to demand that women remain in the private sphere. Women, however, gathered together and established organizations across the continent to advance them towards equality by restoring their economic role. These efforts encouraged Guinea Bissau and Kenyan women to increase their participation in the market economy, a key factor in equality and Africa’s overall economic development. 11 ►2:00 p.m. Law School, Room 114 Fifty Shades of Brown: John Brown and the Darker Side of Calvinism Cassandra E. White Mentor: Kelly Erby, History This essay explains the significance of John Brown’s (1800-1859) Calvinistic faith and how his religion influenced his antislavery beliefs and ultimately led him to embrace violence as a means to end slavery. The essay will unpack the forces that shaped the Calvinism of Brown, the significance of the Second Great Awakening in American religious history, and how Calvinism, which was primarily practiced in the South, led Brown down the path of abolitionism. Session δ Moderator: Tracie Lutz ►1:05 p.m. Law School, Room 119 Is the Kansas SAFE Act Really Safe? Shelbie Alexandra Konkel Mentor: Bob Beatty, Political Science – Geography WTE In 2011 the State of Kansas passed House Bill 2067, the Secure And Fair Elections (S.A.F.E.) Act, requiring citizens to show a valid form of photo identification before voting in any election and proof of citizenship when registering to vote. Proponents of the law argue that the law prevents voter fraud, and ensures the security of elections. However, critics of the law claim that it decreases registration by making the process too confusing and that the intention of the law was to decrease participation by registered Democrats. This study will analyze the effect it has had on county level registration, and whether or not there has been a decrease in the number of registered Democrats. ►1:30 p.m. Law School, Room 119 The Relationship between Cherokees and Whites Leading up to Indian Removal Jessa A. Jurgens Mentor: Kerry Wynn, History WTE My research investigates the increasing tensions between primarily the Cherokee Nation and the white settlers that lived in Georgia before the Trail of Tears. I am focusing on the land disputes and competition of goods between these two populations. My main argument is that the discovery of gold on Cherokee land was not the driving force behind removal but rather the long held desire of Cherokee land. 12 ►2:00 p.m. Law School, Room 119 A Critical Education: Washburn University’s Role in Brown vs. Topeka Board of Education Shelbie Alexandra Konkel Mentor: Kerry Wynn, History WTE This year marks the sixtieth anniversary of the United States Supreme Court ruling in Brown vs The Topeka Board of Education; the ruling that established “Separate was in fact, not equal.” The decision, which resulted in desegregation in schools across the country, was critical in the early years of the Civil Rights Movement. Although the effects of the ruling were felt across the nation, the roots of the case were grounded in the Topeka community. Several of the judges, attorneys, and research clerks were educated at Washburn School of Law, and had strong ties to the University. Past historiographies have focused on the national implications of the Supreme Court Case, and have overlooked the significance of the individuals’ progressive Washburn Education. The research analyzes oral histories, student newspapers, year books, and other primary source documents from Washburn University’s archives to identify the Washburn's integral role in the historic decision. 13 Poster Presentations 3:45 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. Memorial Union – Washburn A WTE Denotes Washburn Transformational Experience 1 Building and Calibrating the Kossel Mini 3D Printer Haskell Edward McRavin Mentor: Br
"Monarchy as it should be"? : British perceptions of Poland-Lithuania in the long seventeenth century
No full textEarly modern Poland-Lithuania figured significantly in the political perceptions of Europeans in the long seventeenth century – not only due to its considerable size and enormous commercial and military resources, but also, and just as importantly, due to its exceptional religious and political situation. This interest in Poland-Lithuania was shared by many Britons. However, a detailed examination of how Britons perceived Poland-Lithuania at that time and how they treated Poland-Lithuania in their political debates has never been undertaken.
This thesis utilises a wide range of the previously neglected source material and considers the patterns of transmission of information to determine Britons’ awareness of Poland-Lithuania and their employment of the Polish-Lithuanian example in the British political discourse during the seventeenth century. It looks at a variety of geographical and historical information, English and Latin descriptions of Poland-Lithuania’s physical topography and boundaries, and its ethnic and cultural make-up presented in histories, atlases and maps, to establish what, where and who Poland-Lithuania was for Britons. Poland-Lithuania’s political framework, with its composite structure and unique relationship between the crown and nobility, elicited a spectrum of reactions, and so this thesis evaluates the role that both criticism and praise of Poland-Lithuania played in British constitutional debates.
Consequently, the study argues that Britons’ perceptions of Poland-Lithuania were characterised by great plasticity. It claims that Britons’ impressions of the country were shaped by multiple – real or imagined - borders, whether cultural, economic or political, but also that Britons were affected by the exposure to a uniform, idealised historiography of this country. Crucially, the thesis asserts that references to Poland-Lithuania constituted an ingenious ideological and polemical device that was eagerly used throughout the period by Britons of diverse political sympathies. Moreover, through the examination of the kingdom’s geopolitical role, particularly its fluctuating position as a “bulwark of Christendom”, side by side its engagement against Protestants, the thesis challenges the assumption that anti-Catholicism dominated seventeenth-century British perceptions of the world
