Aunt Jemima: The Impact Of An American Icon On African-American Women
No full textProgram year: 1996/1997Digitized from print original stored in HDRAlways the Aunt Jemima. Always the submissive servant and comforting mammy. At least these are the portrayals of African-American women that the media often glorify. As society's primary informant, the media, especially the advertising industry, are able to influence perceptions about social images of African-Americans. Thus, the media have a responsibility to create positive representations of the African-American culture. However, Dr. Marilyn Kern-Foxworth, associate professor of journalism at Texas A&M University and author of Aunt Jemima. Uncle Ben. and Rastus - Blacks in Advertising, Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow, believes that historically the media have wronged the black woman by promoting cultural stereotypes instead of realistic portrayals (87). Her true identity has been devalued and overshadowed by an image of a character created straight of the ante-bellum southern plantation - Aunt Jemima (Kern-Foxworth, Aunt Jemima, 88).
This paper concentrates on the impact of historical stereotyping on contemporary women of African ancestry via the Aunt Jemima trademark. The primary purpose is to identify how this image affects the self-image of African-American women. Moreover, the paper will discuss how the media initiated and continues to help perpetuate these stereotypes
The importance of examining movements within the US health care system: sequential logit modeling
No full textAbstract Background Utilization of specialty care may not be a discrete, isolated behavior but rather, a behavior of sequential movements within the health care system. Although patients may often visit their primary care physician and receive a referral before utilizing specialty care, prior studies have underestimated the importance of accounting for these sequential movements. Methods The sample included 6,772 adults aged 18 years and older who participated in the 2001 Survey on Disparities in Quality of Care, sponsored by the Commonwealth Fund. A sequential logit model was used to account for movement in all stages of utilization: use of any health services (i.e., first stage), having a perceived need for specialty care (i.e., second stage), and utilization of specialty care (i.e., third stage). In the sequential logit model, all stages are nested within the previous stage. Results Gender, race/ethnicity, education and poor health had significant explanatory effects with regard to use of any health services and having a perceived need for specialty care, however racial/ethnic, gender, and educational disparities were not present in utilization of specialty care. After controlling for use of any health services and having a perceived need for specialty care, inability to pay for specialty care via income (AOR = 1.334, CI = 1.10 to 1.62) or health insurance (unstable insurance: AOR = 0.26, CI = 0.14 to 0.48; no insurance: AOR = 0.12, CI = 0.07 to 0.20) were significant barriers to utilization of specialty care. Conclusions Use of a sequential logit model to examine utilization of specialty care resulted in a detailed representation of utilization behaviors and patient characteristics that impact these behaviors at all stages within the health care system. After controlling for sequential movements within the health care system, the biggest barrier to utilizing specialty care is the inability to pay, while racial, gender, and educational disparities diminish to non-significance. Findings from this study represent how Americans use the health care system and more precisely reveals the disparities and inequalities in the U.S. health care system.</p

The history and advancement of African-Americans in advertising from 1895 to 1995, 1996
No full textThis study examined the history and advancement of African-Americans in advertising from 1895 to 1995 by analyzing images and portrayals of African-Americans in the print and broadcasting media. In addition, the study traced the growth of the African-American consumer market which was created largely by Black businesses. Pertinent information regarding the history and progress of African-Americans in advertising was obtained through interviews conducted by the author with media and advertising industry professionals from regional and national corporations. The conclusions of this study show that in today's contemporary society the interaction and inclusion of African-Americans in the advertising industry reveal positive and progressive signs. However, forces such as racism, discrimination, and segregation slowed the progress of Black Americans in advertising for decades. Nonetheless, America has witnessed progress from the largely negative advertising images of Aunt Jemima and Sambo to a photograph of sports hero Michael Jordan on a Wheaties cereal box
Training to Enhance Psychiatrist Communication with patients with Psychosis (TEMPO): A Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial
No full textThis is the author accepted manuscript. The final version is available from the Royal College of Psychiatrists via the DOI in this record.Background: A better therapeutic relationship predicts better outcomes. However, there is no trial based evidence on how to improve therapeutic relationships in psychosis.
Aims: To test the effectiveness of communication training for psychiatrists on improving shared understanding and the therapeutic relationship.
Methods: In a cluster randomized controlled trial in the U.K., 21 psychiatrists were randomized. 97 (51% of those approached) outpatients with schizophrenia/schizoaffective disorder were recruited. 64 (66% of the sample recruited at baseline) were followed up after 5 months. The intervention group received four group and one individualized session. The primary outcome, rated blind, was psychiatrist effort in establishing shared understanding, self-repair. Secondary outcome was the therapeutic relationship.
Results: Psychiatrists receiving the intervention used 44% more self-repair than the control group (6.4, 95% CI 1.46 to 11.33, p<.011, a large effect) adjusting for baseline self-repair. Psychiatrists rated the therapeutic relationship more positively (0.20, 95%CI 0.03 to 0.37, p=.022, a large effect), as did patients (0.21, 95% CI 0.01 to 0.41, p=.043, a medium effect).
Conclusions: Shared understanding can be successfully targeted in training and improves relationships in treating psychosis.

Tidal flow over a sill in Muchalat Inlet, Nootka Sound, and the resultant mixing processes
No full textSenior thesis written for Oceanography 445[author abstract] The tidal flow over Williamson Sill, situated in Nootka Sound, is analyzed by reviewing the changes in the density and velocity field across the sill and over the tidal cycle. The density is calculated from the raw data collected by UCTD casts while the velocity data was acquired from the ADCP. It was determined that the tidal forcing over the sill followed the ‘internal lee waves’ mechanism as opposed to the ‘stationary lee depression’ mechanism. During the first half cycle of ebb/flood, the lee waves were generated and held stationary downstream of the sill. These waves then propagated upstream when the tidal current started to wane. The interference of a propagating unsteady lee wave with a newly formed lee wave over the sill can cause wave breaking and substantial mixing.University of Washington School of Oceanograph
Faith, feeling and gender in the writing of Hartley, Wollstonecraft and Blake
No full textThis thesis examines David Hartley’s Observations on Man (1749) and elucidates how Hartley’s mechanical approach to mind, his conception of emotion, and the religious status he awards the body were newly relevant after 1791. In this way it identifies a ‘Hartlean culture’ within the Romantic period and seeks to explore how such an intellectual climate influenced the radical writers William Blake (1757–1827) and Mary Wollstonecraft (1759–1797). Blake and Wollstonecraft were acquainted with the famous bookseller Joseph Johnson, who republished Observations on Man in various forms and versions between 1775 and 1801. They also had an association with Johnson’s circle; the Hartlean concepts found throughout their work evidence Hartley’s latent popularity within intellectual culture, as well as the writers’ engagement with contemporary philosophical ideas. I propose that the renewed curiosity in Hartley during the 1790s reveals a specific religious and revolutionary culture wherein non-conformist views about Christianity and new ideas about the body, emotion and women flourished. Such a cultural moment renders Hartley a particularly important figure for debate since he integrated progressive values about equality and faith alongside advancing understanding of anatomy and mind. Hartley identified how God and happiness could be found physically within each person. He did this by combining a complex theory of vibrations and theory of association, where the body and mind functioned mechanically through a person’s feelings of pleasure and pain. These feelings manifested as physical vibrations and eventually led every person to desire goodness until finally, they can become ‘Godlike’ themselves. Hartley’s amalgamation of Christian and new theoretical concepts appealed to Blake and Wollstonecraft, and was much unlike the approach of Joseph Priestley who abridged Observations in 1775 to promote a wholly ‘scientific’ text. In this way, we can see resonances between Hartley, Blake and Wollstonecraft, even if they existed in different cultural contexts. In rethinking Blake and Wollstonecraft through Hartley, I offer new insights into their feminism. In particular I attend to how Hartlean culture enabled these writers to re-imagine gender and emotion: Wollstonecraft reinstates the female experience back into Hartlean concepts in order to promote women’s emotional potential and what she understands as the special power of the female-female bond. Blake responds to both Wollstonecraft and Hartley with his elevation of the feminine, one that envisions new potential for both sexes, emotionally and spiritually. In both cases, the writers share a fascination for the image of the female saviour, and they use terminology and concepts found in Hartley’s work to communicate their views. In being attentive to the shared vocabulary and ideas of these three writers’ works, this thesis highlights the importance of David Hartley and Hartlean culture for the field of Romantic Studies. It also illuminates Observations on Man as a vital contribution to the intellectual context of the 1790s
) seed flour
No full textThe physicochemical and functional properties of dried okra seed flour of two genotypes Agbagoma and Balabi were evaluated. The samples Agbagoma and Balabi had 8.90%–9.00% moisture, 16.80%–17.40% protein, 47.80%–48.00% fat, 7.70%–7.80% ash, and 18.20%–18.40% carbohydrate. The mean values of functional properties revealed significant differences (p < .05) between okra seed flour samples studied. The samples’ bulk density range was 0.80–0.83 g/ml. Water absorption capacity and oil absorption capacity ranged from 511.65% to 504.32% and 88.38 to 160.67%, respectively. The solubility was 14.10% for Agbagoma and 10.97% for Balabi, whereas swelling power was 16.37% and 14.68% for Agbagoma and Balabi, respectively. All pasting properties except peak time and pasting temperature of Agbagoma seed flour were higher than those of Balabi seed flour. The study revealed that dried okra seed flour is rich in nutrients, which could be used for baking and fortification of foods
