Decision Making and Participation: An Exercise
Authors: Binford Michael B. 
Published: May 2020

This article describes an exercise in political decisionmaking for use in introductory political science courses. Based upon participatory democratic theory, the exercise is a covert simulation project aimed at providing students with an experiential understanding of the political decisionmaking process. This activity is useful for exposing the latent political structure which underscores most social settings and for allowing a clear analysis of the exercise of power in a small, educational arena; the simulation provides a unique opportunity for combining subject matter and pedagogical technique.The procedure will be described in some detail, the initial results generated are discussed, the topics related to the experience later in the course are examined, and suggestions for instructor preparation are made. This procedure has been successfully used in undergraduate classes of Introduction to American Government and in Introduction to Political Science over a five year period.
Murphy's Law Applied to Computer Assisted Instruction
Authors: Kerle Donald F. 
Published: May 2020

In political science as well as other areas of the academic world, computer- assisted instruction is being proclaimed as an innovative teaching tool which teachers should be bringing into the classroom. Workshops on the subject are offered and short courses taught to those unfortunate enough to have missed the computer revolution in their own educational process. The proponents of C.A.I, (for some reason the computer field is devoted to acronyms) or Computer Assisted Instruction are like snake oil salesmen. They always dwell on the positive aspects but fail to warn the consumer of the negative ones.Many of the great truths of the world have found applicability in more than one area. An illustration of this is a series of statements given the world by Murphy.
Adapting One Unit On “Women and American Politics” for an Intro. Course
Authors: Tronto Joan 
Published: May 2020

If we are going to integrate the new materials on women into political science classes I believe it is important to do so in the introductory courses. Often it is only in the introductory courses that we reach nonmajors and give our potential majors a sense of the field. If we make clear to students how the new scholarship on women affects our concepts and ideas about the discipline, then our students get a sense of the questions that political scientists themselves are wondering about, and about how the discipline changes as it confronts new questions.Nonetheless, in teaching the basic introduction to American Government course I have had what I expect is the typical experience: there is already too much to cover in a semester.
The First Amendment and The New Anti-Pornography Statutes
Authors: Grossman Joel B. 
Published: May 2020

This essay seeks, in a very preliminary way, to explore the constitutional ramifications of a new wave of laws designed to combat pornography. Pornography is not new, of course; and neither are laws designed to curtail it. It has long been prohibited by federal and state statutes. The first state obscenity law was passed in Vermont in 1821, and the first federal statute, which prohibited the importation of obscene materials such as “French post cards,” was enacted in 1842. As early as 1931, in Near v. Minnesota, the Supreme Court announced that obscenity was not entitled to constitutional protection under the First Amendment.What has changed is the economics of the sex industry, the demography of its constituency, and the nature of the materials themselves. Pornography today is flourishing as never before; by some estimates it is a $7 billion industry.
Exposing the Textbook Bias: The Need for Professional credit
Authors: Dunn Charles W. 
Published: May 2020

Why is authorship of a textbook generally considered less of a scholarly contribution than authorship of a “scholarly” publication, such as a journal article or a university press book?Certainly both are needed, but is it right for a political science department to reward faculty who author “scholarly” publications more than those who author textbooks?Whether stipulated in the criteria for departmental evaluation of faculty performance or in other less overt ways, the bias is prevalent throughout our discipline.This essay states five reasons why the bias should not exist: 1) ignorance of impact, 2) ignorance of values, 3) ignorance of the review process, 4) ignorance of purpose, and 5) ignorance of time and Scope.
Film and the Political
Authors: Pollack Sheldon D. 
Published: May 2020

“It is extremely difficult to make a good political or social film because the issues are complex and, to some extent, abstract, and have to be embodied in human anatagonists to make them come alive… In effect, the film maker is caught between the Scylla of depersonalization and the Charybdis of oversimplification… It is much easier to make a film with political overtones or social implications, … and not confront the problems head-on.“In the winter 1982 issue of NEWS, Professor Sidney Wise ponders the treatment of the politician by Hollywood's film makers. Wise was prompted to write in response to a previous discussion of Robert Altman's Nashville by G. Alan Tarr, who argued that such a film is “above all a commentary on political life.”
Introducing Politics to the Undergraduate A Novel Approach
Authors: Morrison Kent 
Published: May 2020

What to teach the first-time student in a political science class? Perhaps more importantly, what to teach the undergraduate whose only experience with political science, and the formal study of politics, will be the introduction they receive in our classes?Owing to the peculiarities of our discipline, the “Introduction to Political Science” class is often just that: a tour through all the major gardens in the discipline, describing to students what is done among scholars and practicioners in the various fields, giving them an overall view of what we do, how we do it, and in the process perhaps making a case for the significance of our discipline, our research, and perhaps even the subject itself — politics.
Teaching Logical Thinking: Preparing Graduate Students for Comprehensive Examinations
Authors: Mead Timothy D. 
Published: May 2020

The problemA common lament among faculty members is that students cannot think clearly, do not put things in logical order, and that “they certainly did not learn to think so poorly in my class.” A manifestation of that inability is the work done on essay examinations.In our Master of Urban Administration program, a professional course of study for persons in public administration, a source of stress between faculty and students concerns performance on the comprehensive examinations administered at the midpoint of the two year program. Faculty members complain that students do not address the question asked, only answer part of the question, or do not identify key points in their answers. On the other hand, students argue that they have never been given questions like those on the comprehensive examinations or been shown how to think through an answer in a logical or systematic fashion.
Teaching Politics With Films
Authors: Genovese Michael A. 
Published: May 2020

The Scene is unforgettable. Charlie Chaplin in The Great Dictator plays Adenoid Hynkel, a Fuhrer-figure, modeled comically after Adolf Hitler. Hynkel, alone in a large room, wanders over to a world-globe, picks it up, and begins to playfully bounce the world into the air, buoyantly kicking and tapping the world into the air like his little toy balloon. Suddenly, the balloon explodes.The comical image is powerful. Here is Chaplin, the Little Tramp, holding Hitler up to ridicule, mocking his desires to do with the real world, what Hynkel does with the globe. Chaplin makes a forceful political statement through his comic talents. In this brief scene, Hitler's powerhungry drives are conveyed to the audience while Hitler is being ridiculed at the same time.
Teaching International Relations to American Students
Authors: Quester George H. 
Published: May 2020

The teaching of international politics within the United States has been buffeted about a great deal in the past decade, reflecting shifting trends in social science analysis, reflecting also some major rethinkings and “moments of truth” about America's role in the world.The end of World War II had seen a widespread acceptance ofRealpolitikanalysis, as exemplified in the writings of Hans Morgenthau, generally responding to the unprecedented degree of United States participation in world affairs in the resistance to Hitler's Germany. This new realistic interpretation contrasted itself with an original, more idealistic, liberal position attributed to Americans in general for the earlier and more naive times before 1939, an idealism attributed in an extreme form to Woodrow Wilson in his approach to the outcome of World War I.
Surprise in World Politics
Authors: Hastedt Glenn P. 
Published: May 2020

As everyone who has taught a course on international politics can readily attest, there are few events which evoke as strong a reaction from students as does a major surprise. Surprise leaves a deep imprint upon the student, generating two simultaneous reactions which push the student in opposite directions. On the one hand, the student is impressed by the range of what can be accomplished by a skillfully undertaken course of action. At least for the moment, world politics no longer appears to him or her as an arena beset by problems totally without solutions. The strongly held desire of most students to believe that insight and vision can solve problems is reaffirmed.Surprise also produced a second reaction. Depending upon whether the event is perceived favorably or not, student reaction ranges from moral outrage, to puzzlement, to disbelief or exhilaration.
An Essay Contest for Honors Students

Published: May 2020

A recent grant from the National Office of Pi Sigma Alpha gave us the opportunity to provide students with an extra-curricular writing experience that proved rewarding for all involved. The honorary's Committee on Chapter Activities funded a project jointly conceived by chapters at Miami and Purdue Universities during the 1981-82 academic year.The project consisted of a research essay contest with a cash prize awarded to the winning paper authors. Three teams of two students each were chosen from both chapters to write papers and to present them at a joint meeting. Specifically, the three “teams” from Miami were asked to write on the following topics:1.The Reagan Administration seems committed to a lessened role for the federal government and a stronger role for the state governments in determining and implementing public policies.
Teaching the Congress and Legislative Process Courses
Authors: Maisel L. Sandy 
Published: May 2020

At the APSA Convention in New York in 1981, the Presidency Research Group ran a very successful panel on “Teaching the American Presidency.” Those in attendance all were convinced that they gained useful insights into their own teaching by sharing experiences with others. In hopes of achieving the same goal, the Legislative Studies Group organized a similar panel of the 1982 meeting. This brief article served as background for the panel.Our panel is “similar,” not “parallel.“ Those in the Presidency Research Group nearly all teach courses on the American Presidency, not on chief executives. The teaching and research interests of our group are more diverse. Some of us concentrate on the United States Congress, others on the Congress and the various state legislatures, still others on the Congress and the various state legislatures, still others on comparative legislatures. The discussants on our panel were all authors of leading texts on the Congress; however, because of the interests of members of the group, this article discusses comparative legislature courses as well.
Alumni Evaluate Poly Sci Courses

Published: May 2020

The political scientists at the University of Michigan, Dearborn, concerned about what becomes of political science majors in today's job market, have completed a survey of the occupational status and quality of life of recent alumni. This paper examines the potential contributions of that survey as a model for future evaluations of political science programs and other liberal arts programs. In the paper, I will discuss the design of the study, its findings, and the lessons that might be useful to those who would wish to do such studies on their own campuses.DesignThe University of Michigan, Dearborn evaluation was done primarily by, and for the benefit of, the political science faculty. Thus, the evaluation was tailored to particular faculty interests and concerns.
Music
Authors: Lowinsky Edward E. 
Published: May 2020

The first volume of Helmut Osthoff's work on Josquin Desprez (ca. 1440–1521) dealing with the Netherlandish master's biography and his Mass compositions marks an epoch in Josquin research. It is the first monograph devoted to the greatest musical figure of the Renaissance.Josquin's genius was mighty enough to encompass both old and new worlds of music, the old world of masterly contrapuntal construction and of mathematical symbolism of Netherlandish vintage, and the new world of euphonious harmony and of musical expression of Italian and of humanistic origin. As an artistic personality Josquin is a novelty in the world of music: he is the first composer in Western history of whom we can form some picture of personality and of whom we have a goodly number of anecdotes, all of which show him to be endowed with a penetrating sense of his artistic mission and a vast, almost condescending, yet at times melancholy, sense of humor toward the great patrons who commanded his services.
Catatonía en la enfermedad de Graves
Authors: Rudolf J. , Grond M. , Neveling M. , Heiss W.-D. 
Published: May 2020

ResumenInformamos de una paciente de 27 años con historia anterior de enfermedad de Graves y episodios de recaída de taquicardia, hiperpirexia, rigidez muscular y coma. Con la manifestación posterior de un trastorno psicótico esquizofreniforme agudo sin respuesta a los neurolépticos, el síndrome primario se reclasificó como catatonía febril. Se descartó el hipertiroidismo con niveles normales de hormona tiroidea en el suero, y se descartaron también los efectos tóxicos del tratamiento tirostático, el hipotiroidismo inducido por fármacos y un síndrome neuroléptico maligno. Todos los síntomas psiquiátricos se calmaron por completo después de tiroidectomía subtotal. Háy que añadir la catatonía febril al espectro de fenómenos psicóticos que puede causar la enfermedad de Graves, sin tomar en consideración los niveles de hormona tiroidea en el suero.
Factores predictivos del trastorno por estrés postraumático crónico en víctimas de violación
Authors: Darves-Bornoz J. M. , Lépine J. P. , Choquet M. , Berger C. , Degiovanni A. , Gaillard P. 
Published: May 2020

ResumenEste estudio tenía el propósito de investigar los trastornos psicológicos después de la violación, así como el curso del trastorno por estrés postraumático (TEPT), y determinar los factores clínicos que predicen el TEPT crónico. Se observó a 73 víctimas de violación en un estudio de seguimiento sistemático durante el año siguiente a la violación utilizando cuestionarios de entrevista estructurada. La frecuencia del TEPT era impresionante. Los trastornos tempranos que predecían el TEPT un año después de la violación incluían los trastornos somatomorfos y disociativos, la agorafobia y las fobias específicas, así como los trastornos depresivos y de la identidad de género y el abuso de alcohol. Por medio de regresiones matemáticas por pasos, se encontró que los factores siguientes eran buenos modelos de predicción del TEPT crónico un año después de la violación: las características de los traumas, la violación intrafamiliar, ser objeto de ataque físico fuera de la violación y la violencia física añadida durante la violación; las actitudes psicológicas y conductuales tempranas, la baja autoestima, los sentimientos permanentes de vacío y la huida del hogar, y los trastornos mentales tempranos, la agorafobia y los trastornos depresivos. Por último, entre todos estos factores predictivos, se mostró que la violencia física añadida durante la violación, la baja autoestima, los sentimientos permanentes de vacío y la agorafobia constituyen un sólido modelo de predictores. A las personas que presentan rasgos como los factores predictivos del TEPT crónico encontrados en el estudio se les debe preguntar por una historia de violación y síntomas de TEPT.

Published: May 2020

ResumenLa variación estacional en los nacimientos de los pacientes con esquizofrenia es un resultado epidemiológico replicado consistentemente. Pocos estudios han investigado este fenómeno entre los pacientes con un diagnóstico de trastorno afectivo. La mayoría de los estudios de la estación de nacimiento han empleado para el análisis estadístico la prueba c2, un método que ha recibido algunas críticas. Utilizando un estadístico del tipo Kolgomorov-Smirnov, se comparó la distribución trimestral del nacimiento de 6.646 pacientes con un diagnóstico de la CIE-9/10 de trastorno afectivo con la población general. Sólo los nacimientos de los individuos con formas unipolares de trastorno afectivo (n = 4.393) diferían significativamente de la población general, con sobretasas y déficit significativos en el segundo y cuarto trimestre, respectivamente. La aplicación de la prueba de desplazamiento no alteró estos resultados.

El gen del receptor CCK-A posiblemente está asociado con las alucinaciones auditivas en la esquizofrenia
Authors: Wei J. , Hemmings G.P. 
Published: May 2020

ResumenEn este estudio, se identificó un locus polimórfico de Pstl con dos alelos individuales, a saber, Al y A2, dentro del límite entre el intrón 1 y el exón 2 del gen del receptor tipo A de la colecistoquini-na (CCK). El locus polimórfico de Pstl se utilizó como marcador genético para estudiar su asociación con síntomas psicóticos en la esquizofrenia. Se encontró una diferencia significativa en la frecuencia alélica entre los pacientes esquizofrénicos con y sin alucinaciones auditivas (χ2 = 6,26, gl = 1, P = 0,012), y la relación de ventaja para la asociación alélica fue 2,21 (IC de 95% = 1,18-4,15), con una fracción atribuible de 0,1. La frecuencia de los genotipos A1-A1 y A1-A2 mostró una presencia mayor significativa en los pacientes esquizofrénicos con alucinaciones auditivas en comparación con los pacientes sin estos síntomas (χ2 = 5,45, gl = 1, P = 0,02), y la relación de ventaja para la asociación genotípica fue 2,27 (IC de 95% = 1,13-4,57), con una fracción atribuible de 0,177. La prueba de riesgo relativo de haplotipo basada en el haplotipo (HHRR) reveló una diferencia significativa entre los alelos transmitidos y no transmitidos en las familias nucleares de los pacientes esquizofrénicos con alucinaciones auditivas (χ2 = 4,54, gl = 1, P = 0,033), pero no en las familias de los pacientes esquizofrénicos sin ellas. El presente estudio indica que el gen del receptor CCK-A puede estar asociado con las alucinaciones auditivas en la esquizofrenia.
Homicidio por pacientes esquizofrénicos en Israel

Published: May 2020

ResumenSe comparó a 33 pacientes esquizofrénicos hospitalizados de 45,3 ± 13,5 años de edad que fueron encontrados no culpables de homicidio en virtud de enajenación mental con 28 pacientes esquizofrénicos emparejados en cuanto a la edad, el sexo y la duración de la enfermedad, que no habían cometido ningún delito. El análisis estadístico reveló en el grupo estudiado una tasa alta de factores individuales asociados con la agresión, tales como el abuso de alcohol, el contacto previo con la policía, la conducta agresiva y amenazas (P < 0,05). Un número significativamente mayor de ellos eran también inmigrantes (P < 0,05). No hubo diferencias entre grupos en los factores familiares. Estos resultados apoyan estudios anteriores que indicaban que los pacientes esquizofrénicos con perfil de alcoholismo, agresividad y otro país de origen corren un riesgo alto de conducta homicida.
Los síntomas extrapiramidales inducidos por neurolépticos se acompañan de disfunción cognitiva en la esquizofrenia
Authors: Krausz M. , Moritz S. H. , Naber D. , Lambert M. , Andresen B. 
Published: May 2020

ResumenSe ha encontrado que las deficiencias cognitivas en los esquizofrénicos preceden a la discinesia tardía y coexisten con otros déficit motores. Sin embargo, se sabe poco todavía sobre la prevalencia de las perturbaciones cognitivas en los pacientes con parkinsonismo inducido por neurolépticos. A partir de las publicaciones sobre parkinson idiopático, se infirió que los síntomas extrapiramidales (EPS) se acompañan de disfunción cognitiva. Se dividió a 85 pacientes esquizofrénicos hospitalizados en pacientes que puntuaban alto o bajo en EPS conforme a un criterio establecido (Escala de Simpson Angus, puntuación de corte: 0,4). Las deficiencias cognitivas se evaluaron utilizando un instrumento de autoevaluación que medía perturbaciones del procesamiento de la información.Los pacientes con puntuaciones altas de EPS mostraron resultados significativamente elevados en seis de las diez subescalas cognitivas y perceptivas (t = 2,1 - 3,1) en comparación con los pacientes con puntuaciones bajas. Se concluye que los pacientes con puntuaciones altas de EPS sufren perturbaciones cognitivas que se suponen muy pertinentes para el tratamiento tanto psicosocial como médico. Los problemas cognitivos, cuando no se toman en consideración, pueden perturbar el cumplimiento terapéutico, la comprensión de la enfermedad y la transferencia de las destrezas aprendidas a la vida cotidiana.
