"The dynamic side of life": the emergence of Mary Coffin Ware Dennett as a radical sex educator
No full textIn 1915, Mary Ware Dennett wrote a significant yet little known sex education manual for her two sons entitled The Sex Side of Life, an Explanation for Young People.
In it, she defied convention by expressing her radical views about sexuality, first to her own two sons and later to the public. Dennett offered forthright and specific information about the physiological, scientific, moral and emotional aspects of sexuality at a time when sex education and sex educators, if they existed at all, typically attempted to repress or control sexuality, and education about it, rather than to inform.1 Many people
considered Dennett’s book radical because she challenged prevailing Victorian attitudes about sexuality, women and the transfer of culture. Additionally, she dared to express the view that sex was not just for procreation but was pleasurable. Dennett’s manual for her sons was copied and passed along to her son’s friends and to the children of her friends and colleagues. It was published in The Medical Review
of Reviews in 1918 and thousands of copies were distributed to institutions and individuals worldwide before she was arrested for sending obscenity through the mail in 1929. Fourteen years after publication, her arrest became a cause célèbre. Through narrative inquiry, the study researched Dennett’s transition from the private to the public side of life by looking at her cultural and intellectual heritage, personal life and the historical context of industrial capitalism. Dennett’s unequivocal conviction that all members of a truly democratic society have the right to know was
quite radical in its time. It is still radical today because implicit in that outlook is the belief that with knowledge, ordinary people have the ability and the responsibility to
chart their own course in life without control from those on top of the social hierarchy. Freire said, “A real humanist can be identified more by his trust in people, which engages him in their struggle, than by a thousand actions in their favor without that
trust.” Dennett was a true humanist, trusting in the ability of ordinary people. Nearly a century after publication, the lessons that surfaced from Dennett’s
transition from the private to the public side of life are still valid. The ability to actively engage with the world is critical for empowerment and active engagement can only occur with complete access to knowledge and information. Sexuality is part of the knowledge and comprehensive information that is necessary to experience The Dynamic Side of LifeEd.D.Includes bibliographical referencesby Lynn Ledere

Inominated and mixed contracts on the background of the new Civil Code
No full textInominated and mixed contracts on the background of the New Civil Code Abstract This rigorous thesis deals with contracts that are not specifically regulated by law as a type of contract. These are mainly inominated contracts, but also mixed contracts, combining two or more nominated or inominated contracts. The aim of the rigorous thesis is to focus on certain specifics of concluding these contracts and define the regime by which these contracts will be governed, i.e. whether the general provisions of jurisdical acts are applicable to the inomninated or mixed contract, whether the general provisions of contract law are applicable and whether the special provisions for individual types of contracts are applicable (i.e. the so- called admissibility of analogy with the type of nominated contract, whick is closest to the inominated contract) etc. The author divides the rigorous thesis into eight crutial chapters. The first six chapters form a general part of the rigorous thesis and the remaining two chapters form a special part of the thesis. In the general part, the author defines the inominated contract in Chapter 1, distinguishes it from nominated contracts and asks whether the inominated contract can contain essential elements of a contract in Chapter 2. The author also deals with the relationship between..
Contractual penalty in consumer contracts
No full textContractual penalty in consumer contracts Abstract The topic of rigorous work is the contractual penalty in consumer contracts, while this issue is very current, as it falls into the legal area of consumer protection, which belongs to the current most modern trends in private law. The aim of the thesis is to answer, in particular, what are the specifics of the use of the contractual penalty institute in consumer contracts, to analyze the issue of negotiating a contractual penalty in consumer contracts and its permissible amount. Furthermore, the author of the thesis will focus on the possibility of moderating an unreasonably high contractual penalty in consumer contracts and the possibility of negotiating a contractual penalty within the commercial terms of consumer contracts. Last but not least, the author of the thesis intends to analyze the issue of due date and limitation of the right to pay a contractual penalty. The first chapter deals with the functions of the contractual penalty in consumer contracts and contains a brief analysis of individual terms that are central to this rigorous work. The second chapter is focused on the jurisprudence regarding the contractual penalty. The author of the thesis chose two areas, namely the possibility of conditional negotiation of the contractual penalty and the..
Analysis of Readex's Serial Set MARC records: improving the data for the library catalog
No full textColorado State University Libraries (CSUL) purchased the digitized United States Congressional Serial Set, 1817-1994 and American State Papers (1789-1838) from the Readex Division of NewsBank, inc and, once funds and records were available, the accompanying MARC records. The breadth of information found in the Serial Set is described, along with the difficulties in using the print version (incorporated in the literature review, which includes citations of announcements of the digital collections and reviews of the software). The digital version of the Serial Set has its advantages, but there are additional rewards (much greater discovery opportunities) when items in the digital collection are directly accessible from the library catalog. The purchased MARC records, while overall excellent, had problems that needed to be corrected before they were loaded into CSUL's Innovative Interfaces library catalog. Patron access impact was used as a criterion when determining which of the records would be fixed before loading. High impact problems were identified and solutions derived for: multiple 245 (title) fields; 245 second indicator zero with titles beginning with a, an, or the; dollar sign used in text; fixed field date; languages; subject headings; creating proxy URLs; classification numbers; and author authority control (e.g. corporate entries and presidential entry errors)
