Type material. Lectotype of Atheta laurentiana (here designated): ♀, (with the head and prothorax missing), “TYPE” (red label), “Lawr.[ence] Co. Ind. [iana] W.S.B. [Blatchley] 5­ 11­04 [11.v.1904]”, “3631 det. A.Fenyes ”, “5[?]8”, “Purdue Blatchley collection”, “ Atheta laurentiana sp. nov. 5680” (PURC).
Additional material. UKRAINE: Crimea: 8 specimens, Simferopol distr., 5 km SW Krasnoles’ye, near creek, 400 m, 19.v.1990 (V.I.Gusarov); 6 specimens, ditto but 21.v.1990; 9 specimens, Crimean Game Reserve, Alma River banks, 600 m, 3.vi.1986 (V.I.Gusarov) (SPSU); UNITED STATES: Illinois: Monroe Co.: 2♂♂, ♀, Krueger Dry Run Cave, 3.iv.1992 (S.Taylor & J.Krejca) (INHS, SPSU); New Hampshire: Grafton Co.: ♀, 2 km NNE Warren, Hwy. 118, Baker River, 43º56.42’N 71º52.52W, 300m, river bank, under stones and in moss, 21.ix.1998 (V.I.Gusarov) (SPSU).
Diagnosis. See Benick 1954; Benick & Lohse 1974.
Discussion. The lectotype of At. laurentiana is similar to examined European specimens of Alo. sulcifrons in external characters and in the shape of spermatheca. Both names are considered synonymous.
The illustrations of the male tergum 8, the aedeagus and spermatheca provided by Klimaszewski and Peck (1986: Figs. 92–95) correspond to Alo. sulcifrons and not Alo. insecta (Thomson, 1856) (cf. Figs. 7–9 and Fig. 6 in Benick 1954).
Distribution. Aloconota sulcifrons is a common European species. According to Benick (1954), Alo. sulcifrons has a cosmopolitan distribution, but the old records not based on examination of genitalic characters need to be reconfirmed. In North America Alo. sulcifrons is known from New Hampshire, New York, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Kentucky, Virginia, West Virginia, Tennessee and Alabama (Klimaszewski & Peck 1986 (as Alo. insecta )).

The most valued repertoire of distinguished middle-level band conductors
Creators: name: McCrann, James P.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2016

description: The purpose of this study is to determine the most valued repertoire of distinguished middle-level wind band conductors from across the United States and to explore how these works relate to various views on core repertoire for ensembles in this demographic. “Middle-level bands” are defined in this study as school woodwind, brass, and percussion ensembles affiliated with junior high, middle school, and high schools comprised of students ranging from grade levels six to nine. Several studies have attempted to identify a core repertoire for the wind band based primarily upon musical attributes, with little or no consideration given to the pedagogical development of student musicians. In this study, distinguished conductors of middle-level band programs, selected through the examination of several qualifiers, were surveyed to determine the actual music they programmed and deemed most beneficial. Respondents (N = 87) indicated their most valued repertoire, rating the works on a five-point Likert scale in the categories of artistic value, pedagogical value, likelihood of re-programming the work, and the extent they believe the work should be part of a core repertoire. Seventy of the 78 works (89.74%) on the resulting “Most Valued Repertoire for Middle-Level Band” list appear to be designed for use in educational settings, suggesting that directors are influenced primarily by pedagogical considerations.

Material Examined. Far North. TAN1105/9, NIWA 72990 (5); NIWA 72990 (5). TAN1105/18, NIWA 73017 (1).
Diagnosis. Red disc covered in long thin articulated white spines. Thin, naked radial shields, meet distally, diverging and slight widening proximally. Radial shields white with short longitudinal purple stripe distally. Dorsal arm plates longer than wide with a conspicuous thick dark red stripe on midline. Ventral arm plates longer than wide with a thin faint red stripe along midline. Six very long (5–7 segments long), transparent, hollow, thorny arm spines.
Description. See McKnight (1968b) as Ophiogymna saltatrix.
Distribution. New Zealand (79–508 m), Tasman Sea (111–330 m), Indonesia (35–85 m), Philippines (62–90 m), Mauritius, Marshall Islands (122–168 m), Hawaii (as subspecies O. lepidus hawaiiensis A.H. Clark, 1949, 110– 545 m).
Remarks. This species has previously been reported in the South-West Pacific Ocean from the Norfolk (Rowe 1989) and Kermadec Ridges (McKnight 1968 as Ophiogymna saltatrix). Here we extend the known distribution to northern New Zealand. This species is similar to the littoral O. purpurea von Martens, 1867 differing only in the shape of the radial shield, which are much longer than wide in O. lepidus. However, the shape of the radial shields can be quite variable in O. purpurea, and H.L. Clark (1938) and Clark & Rowe (1971) have treated the two species as synonyms. Conversely, Rowe (1989) considered them as distinct and synonymised O. saltatrix with O. lepidus. The current specimens have the narrow radial shields indicative of O. lepidus. Whether the specimens found in deep-water off New Zealand are really conspecific with a species described from shallow water around Mauritius needs further investigation.

A cross-national study of the relationships among the risk factors for radicalization
Creators: name: Bastug, Mehmet Fatih
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2016

description: Existing literature on radicalization leading to violent extremism covers a wide range of issues and areas of concern, including theories and models of radicalization and the radicalization process, as well as triggers, catalysts, and risk factors for the emergence of radicalization. Scholars have identified various risk factors that influence the likelihood of violent radicalization. However, a review of literature on radicalization reveals that there is a lack of thorough analysis of how major risk factors relate to each other. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships between major risk factors for radicalization by combining them in a single model. Three risk factors were selected for this study: perceived Islamophobia, poor integration, and identity crisis. These risk factors are critical for understanding the early stages of the radicalization process of Muslim individuals who live in Western societies.   This study utilized a sequential explanatory mixed-methods design, employing both quantitative and qualitative analysis. Data was collected using a survey of 180 Turkish-Americans and 118 Turkish-Canadians and interviews with 10 opinion leaders. The researcher proposed four hypotheses to investigate the relationships between the three aforementioned risk factors and used Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to test these hypotheses. The results showed that both perceived Islamophobia and poor integration were predictors of identity crisis in both samples. No significant relationship was observed between perceived Islamophobia and poor integration. The results also revealed some differences between the two samples. Perceived Islamophobia was significantly higher for the sample of Turkish-Americans. Additionally, higher perceived Islamophobia among Turkish-Americans predicted weaker identification with the host country. On the other hand, stronger religious identification among Turkish-Canadians predicted lower levels of integration.   It is necessary to emphasize that this study did not explore whether the participants did or did not adopt radical ideologies. Rather, the researcher focused on the relationships among the risk factors that might make Muslim minorities more vulnerable to radicalization. The study concluded that it is important to take measures to counter Islamophobia and to facilitate the integration of Muslim minorities in order to lessen the likelihood that they will experience an identity crisis.
Victimization of immigrant children within the high school context

description: This study is particularly interested in the micro-level analysis of the relationship between the immigrant assimilation experiences and the likelihood of victimization within the school context.  It provides a fuller characterization of the immigrant lived experiences in the United States and how they independently shape the experiences of victimization. The study will contribute to the literature on immigrant children victimization by introducing additional risk factors for examination.   The study utilizes the individual-level data from the Children of Immigrants Longitudinal Study (CILS) from the archive of the Inter-University Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR) at the University of Michigan. The CILS dataset captures the adaptation process of the second immigrant generation living in the United States and includes three waves of survey data from 1991 to 2006.  Despite the limitations of the study with issues such as sample attrition and demographic restrictions, the findings are still important. The findings conclude that high socio-economic status (SES) people have a much lower victimization risk than low socio-economic status (SES) people and that English proficiency is vital in examining victimization among immigrant youth. Policy implementation should include and not be limited robust diversity training for teachers and administrators alike with an emphasis on inclusion.

Reprogramming the world
Creators: name: Blount, Percy Judkins
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2016

description: This dissertation argues that Cyberspace is causing shifts in the world scale geography deployed by the international system.  Starting with the observation that international law has been unable to extend its regulatory purview over the transnational technologies that constitute Cyberspace, this research attempts to construct a framework for understanding how and why the technology of Cyberspace is changing the nature of global order.    The dissertation employs a two step methodology.  It first constructs a geography of Cyberspace through evaluation of the spatial, legal, and political geographies that are constructed within the architecture of the geography.  It then takes this geography of Cyberspace and layers it onto international geography in order to understand how the governance assemblage of territory, authority, and rights is being challenged and changed.  This second step requires the analysis of numerous international incidents in order to  draw conclusions about the nature of global order when these two geographies encounter each other.    The research concludes that Cyberspace is a phenomenon that is having and will continue to have dramatic effects on the understanding and organization of world scale governance.   It argues that understanding how Cyberspace is embedded in social life as well as governance structures will be increasingly important in evaluating global affairs in the future.

Three essay on corporate social responsibility in merger and acqusition
Creators: name: Choi, Gunae
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2016

description: My dissertation consists of three essays that explore under which conditions corporate social responsibility (CSR) contributes to the creation of shareholder value in mergers and acquisitions (M&As). Essay 1 and Essay 2 focus on firm-level CSR and shareholder value in domestic M&As, while Essay 3 focuses on country-level CSR and shareholder value in international M&As.  In Essay 1, entitled “Do CSR Ratings Affect Value Creation from M&As?” I examine how differences between target and acquirer CSR ratings affect the value acquisitions create for acquirers’ shareholders. I propose that for each CSR dimension the target–acquirer CSR rating gap results in expectations of post-acquisition changes in the level of target CSR. These changes can be expected to elicit either supportive or unsupportive post acquisition behavior of the target stakeholder groups affected by each CSR dimension, which affects the stock market’s assessment of the acquisition. Results of an event study support my hypotheses.  In Essay 2, entitled “Effect of Target CSR on Acquisition Premium,” I examine how a target firm’s corporate social responsibility (CSR) and social irresponsibility (CSiR) ratings affect the premium that acquirers pay for the target. I argue that information on a target’s CSR (CSiR) ratings can send a positive (negative) signal about not just its CSR (CSiR) performance but also about its overall quality. I propose that CSiR reduces the premium that acquirers are offering, while CSR increases the premium. Results suggests that in situations of high information asymmetry acquirers tend to rely more on signals associated with the target’s CSiR rating, leading them to offer a lower premium.  In Essay 3, entitled “Environmental Regulations: Market Reactions to Cross-Border M&As,” I examine how the difference in the stringency of environmental regulations between the home- and the host country affects investors’ responses to cross-border M&A (CBA) announcements. I argue that investors negatively respond to CBA announcements that involve an acquirer entering a host country with lower environmental regulations than those of the home country because of the potential added reputational risk and/or added environmental protection costs associated with such acquisitions. Results provide support for my theoretical arguments.

Neoliberalism and urban education
Creators: name: Davis, Kevin W.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2016

description: School choice and charter schools have been presented as ways to induce competition in public school systems to improve student outcomes in underperforming urban school districts.  This approach continues a trend in Western Europe and the United States to make public institutions operate more like the private sector and is indicative of Neoliberalism and New Public Management.  The rationale relies on the theory that public sector actors are motivated by self-interested economic incentives.  An alternative argument uses a public service perspective, that public employees are motivated by noneconomic factors.  For competition to have an effect on student outcomes, charter schools have to be perceived as a threat to local school districts and district responses must be predicated on economic incentives.   This study was conducted in two stages using an exploratory mixed-methods approach.  To develop an alternative discourse from the state’s policies, a discursive analysis was conducted on archival documents that established school choice, charters schools, and education reform in New Jersey.  Interpretation of the documents was used to design a questionnaire to measure perceptions of charter schools and education reform in New Jersey among urban school district personnel in one urban district in New Jersey.    The interpretation of the documents established an alternative discourse of the public education reform that showed a bias toward urban and poor school districts.  Survey findings showed a high level of opposition to neoliberal and neoconservative education reform initiatives.  Respondents agreed that public education reform causes more harm than good in the district.    This perspective that neoliberal public education reform adversely affects urban school districts focuses on policies to produce better student outcomes.  Reform initiatives did not factor in societal conditions that affect student learning.  Neoliberal and neoconservative solutions for correcting underperforming school districts are based on institutional changes such as school governance, teacher competency, and organizational management.  Multiple research studies have shown that social conditions based on race, poverty, and employment have a significant impact on students’ ability to learn.  This study shows that, despite state preferences for neoliberal education reform, public school personnel in this urban district overwhelmingly disagreed with these reforms.

Recorded justice

description: The perceived benefits of body-worn cameras (BWCs) are grounded in self-awareness theory, which argues that when people are aware that they are being watched, they modify their behavior, exhibit more socially-acceptable behavior, and cooperate more fully with the rules (Duval & Wicklund, 1972). BWCs also increase certainty (Ariel, 2013). Thus, BWCs have deterrent effect on those being watched since everything is recorded and can be used as evidence against them.     It is argued that the use of BWCs is an excellent tool to help improve police and citizen behavior (Ramirez, 2014). However, so far, a rigorous study has not been conducted to investigate the effect of BWCs on police legitimacy, procedurally just policing, citizen behavior (compliance and cooperation) (White, 2014), trust and confidence in police, and satisfaction (Roy, 2014).   This study, believed to be the first study of its kind in the literature, investigated the effect of using BWCs on police and citizens during traffic stops. More specifically, this study experimentally tested the impact of BWCs on police legitimacy, traffic police legitimacy, procedural justice, general compliance, specific compliance, cooperation, satisfaction, and citizen perceptions of police.   A randomized controlled trial (RCT) was conducted. Drivers assigned randomly to the experimental group encountered traffic police officers wearing BWCs, whereas those assigned to the control group encountered traffic police officers not wearing a BWC. After the initial encounter, drivers were asked to participate in a survey. The sample size was 299 for the experimental group and 325 for the control group, with 624 participants in total. In addition, the data on complaints about traffic tickets were collected as external data.     Both bivariate and multivariate analyses indicated that BWCs had a statistically significant positive impact on all outcomes. In addition, no complaints about traffic tickets were received from the drivers in the experimental group, whereas six complaints about traffic tickets were received from drivers in the control group during the study period. To conclude, BWCs have positive impact on the behavior of both police and drivers. Thus, a new policing strategy, “Recorded Just Policing,” should be implemented by police departments.
Male investment in "white slavery," 1880-1920
Creators: name: Curry, Sarah E.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2016

description: My rationale for this study is investigating the motives behind the male investment in white slavery during the turn-of-the-century America. Why did males concern themselves with the ancient problem of prostitution? The first chapter, “Vigilance and Investigation,” studies the different vice commissions, white slave crusaders, and reformers of New York City and their fight against political corruption and lack of law enforcement. The Rockefeller Grand Jury and the Immigration Commission also investigated the white slave traffic, which revealed the existence of white slavery. By 1910, Congress was moved to pass the Mann Act, which made it illegal for the interstate travel of women for immoral purposes.   In Chapter 2, “Journalism and Cultural Productions,” I discuss the impact that the media and other cultural productions such as novels, magazine articles, and film had on the public’s view and knowledge on subjects of commercialized vice and white slavery. Cultural productions aided the work of reformers by publicizing the problems of commercialized vice, but hurt reformers by exaggerating facts and even making the public skeptical. Reformers published their works and findings in different ways, some believing in keeping their work in the circle of other reformers and other organizations, while some made them publicly available through magazines, books, and pamphlets.   There were different reasons why men invested in the problem of white slavery, whether they invested in reform work, journalism, or other cultural productions. Many wanted to uplift society and prevent innocent women and children from falling into the degrading life of crime or prostitution. Some sought profit from the white slave hysteria. Others wanted to expose the corruption of the municipality and police and sought legislation reform and improvement of the justice system. Reformers and antivice activists succeeded in closing down red light districts, but prostitutes became streetwalkers that were suppressed underground and transformed into “call girls.” The issue of sex work continues to the current day on an international level. Also, human trafficking still exists to the current day and can be historically tracked back to white slavery.

Biodiversity and systematics of the Blattodea of the Guiana Shield
Creators: name: Evangelista, Dominic Anthony
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2016

description: Cockroaches are a moderately diverse but understudied insect order with the  majority of their diversity present in the tropics. Recent works have made great strides in  improving our understanding of the cockroach faunas of Brazil, Ecuador, Argentina, and  Colombia. However, the subcontinent-sized landmass known as the Guiana Shield (itself  containing three countries and parts of another two) has been largely ignored by  cockroach systematists and taxonomists for over 20 years. The first goal of this  dissertation research is to update the current understanding of the cockroach fauna in the  Guiana Shield. Once this has been accomplished through synthesis of existing data and  collection of new data from the field, we describe the diversity at multiple scales using  perspectives that are more widely applicable to our understanding of ecology and  systematics. This includes: exploring the relationship between dispersal ability and the  evolution of geographic ranges (regional scale), the effect of species delimitation on  estimates of species richness within a community of cockroaches (local/community  scale), and the effect of specific landscape variables on species distributions  (local/species scale). The major finding of this dissertation include: 3 descriptions of new  species; 18 new species records including 1 genus entirely new to the Guiana Shield; the  iii  understanding that different approaches to identification can yield huge (~25%)  discrepancy in estimated richness; that savannas limit the distributions of cockroach taxa  but patterns of flooding do not; and that flight ability may affect how geographical ranges  evolve, with better flying taxa having ranges more clustered in space. We also provide  minor ethological and ecological insights from side projects or field observations.
Optimal execution of real-options in illiquid and incomplete markets

Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2016

description: This dissertation, consists of three essays on the problem of quantifying   optimal stopping policies for a multi-period investment, where transition probabilities and the investment value itself are uncertain.  These models are applicable to entrepreneurs in the technology sector and any investment where option based approach can be taken.      In the first chapter, I convert the multi-period investment into a partially observable Markov decision process model with bayesian learning.  I assume that the core process of the investment value is not observable during the multi-period investment process but can be observed only in its final state if the decision to exploit the investment is made.  I assume that the probability distribution between the observed demand levels and the underlying value is known.  Since this  POMDP model is difficult to solve with dynamic programming because of the size of the possible states, we introduce a heuristic based on marginal profit gains at each state.  With the marginal profit heuristic we can calculate the minimum probability threshold of the unobservable state, in a 2-state model, that is the optimal stopping for the process.    In the second chapter, I drop the assumption of knowing the probability distribution between the observable demand and unobservable underlying value of the state to the investment, and replace it with a second type of demand level that when observed together with the first demand level imply certain values of the underlying investment.  I introduce an algebraic logistic function that has the characteristics of a sigmoid distribution, to serve as an approximation of the probability of the underlying state, based on the observations of the two demand levels but the ratio between them quantify the probability, not a known distribution.  Since this model has no defined transition matrix, I develop a best case heuristic, for the 2-state model, that finds a local optimal range, without the use of the Lambert function, and therefore optimal stopping point when a local optimal range does not exist.  For the n-state model we define least-case heuristic, similar to the best-case heuristic, except m-local optimal ranges are defined, where m

Essays on measuring asset pricing anomalies
Creators: name: Gorman, Michael
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2016

description: Traditional methods of measuring asset pricing anomalies have historically relied on full sample tests of static parameters. With the increase of computational power and data available we are able to allow for time varying factor loadings for a portfolio based on asset rotation and also time varying factors by asset.    In the first paper we find that commonly used estimates of time varying asset pricing anomalies contain significant bias. We are able to show that the historical returns used to select momentum portfolios result in biased data in the short window asset level regressions which the literature uses to estimate portfolio parameters. This is caused through a non-random selection criterion which systematically chooses high epsilon assets. These nonrandom epsilons, when regressed upon bias estimates of alpha, and through the correlation structure of the parameters they also bias the estimates of beta.   We present a new methodology that is not subject to this bias, and allows for an accurate measurement of the size of anomalies. In executing this we find that inefficient portfolio rotation in the original portfolio level estimates is also indicative of bias. As such we suggest that the new methodology we propose is more accurate and less susceptible to bias than those currently in use in the literature. The new model suggests that to this point the risk adjusted returns of the momentum portfolio have been underestimated in the literature.    In the second paper we demonstrate that the momentum anomaly is driven by a small number of assets in the market using our new model and the methodology of False Discovery Rates. We show that these assets, behave differently in long and short portfolios, and also perform differently during the first month reversal period. Finally we demonstrate that an appropriately risk adjusted momentum alpha shows that extreme months are not sufficient to explain away momentum, and that poor returns in extreme months are overstated by traditional methods of measuring momentum. To this extent we claim that market downturns in the last 15 years have been insufficient to effectively eliminate the momentum anomaly as has been suggested.
Relationships among food insecurity, perceived stress, general self-efficacy, and obesity in female heads-of-household with children
Creators: name: Havrilla, Emily
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2016

description: Obesity is a significant issue in the United States with approximately 36% of adults being classified as obese. The etiology of obesity encompasses physical, environmental, behavioral and societal factors. Empirical evidence indicates that among vulnerable populations, obesity exists in the presence of household food insecurity; however, the relationship is not directly causal. Furthermore there are gender differences in the prevalence of obesity in vulnerable populations. To date, these relationships are not well understood. Theory suggests that in vulnerable populations, resource availability, relative risk and health status are related. Theory further suggests that general perceived stress and general self-efficacy are related to both food insecurity and obesity and they may mediate the relationship between food insecurity and obesity. This study explored the relationships among food insecurity, general perceived stress, general self-efficacy, and obesity in female heads-of-household between the ages of 18 and 59 with one or more children under 18 years of age. The Core Food Security Module, the General Perceived Stress Questionnaire, the General Self-Efficacy Scale, calculated Body Mass  Index and calculated waist-to-hip circumference ratio were used to measure the study variables. Female heads-of-households, recruited through two food pantries and one community action agency were invited to participate in the study through staff referral. Data were collected from 86 participants from November 2015 through February 2016. Two mediational models were tested. Results indicated a positive relationship between food insecurity and general perceived stress, general perceived stress and obesity, and general self-efficacy and obesity. However, the relationship between food insecurity and obesity was not significant. These findings indicate that the role of general perceived stress and general self-efficacy as mediators of the relationship between food insecurity and obesity was not supported. This study adds to the body of knowledge through confirmation of the absence of direct causality in the relationship between food insecurity and obesity and supports further investigation to determine the mechanisms of coexistence in vulnerable populations.
