Essays on the monitoring role of institutional bond ownership and corporate bond liquidity
Creators: name: Chang, Keh-Chian
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2012

description: Essay I: Institutional Bond Ownership and Financial Misconduct    The first essay examines the role of institutional bondholders in reduction of the likelihood of financial misconduct. After controlling for a wide range of firm characteristics, we find firms that have greater institutional bond ownership reduce the likelihood of financial misreporting that eventually leads to class action litigation. In addition, relatively higher ownership by insurance companies decreases the likelihood of financial misconduct. We document consistent results using SEC enforcement actions as our second proxy for financial misrepresentation. The results suggest the potential and undocumented monitoring role of institutional bond investors.     Essay II: Firm Visibility and Corporate Bond Liquidity    The second essay examines the impact of firm visibility on bond liquidity. Using a range of visibility measures such as firm size, advertising expenses, breadth of stock and bond ownerships, and analyst coverage, we find strong evidence that visibility positively impacts bond liquidity. Our result is robust to alternative measures of liquidity and different estimation methodologies, and holds for bonds in all rating categories. To further prove the direct link between firm visibility and bond liquidity, we examine liquidity changes in bonds upon their issuing firms being added to the S&P 500 index, an exogenous visibility increasing event. We find a significant increase in bond liquidity relative to a control group after the index inclusion.

description: Background: Advance Care Planning interventions should be evaluated as broadly as possible to gain a holistic understanding of the Advance Care Planning process. However, validated early stage outcome instruments are lacking. Therefore, the Treatment-Preference-Measure-Advance Care Planning (Treat-Me-ACP) instrument was developed and validated as part of the cluster-randomized controlled trial STADPLAN (Study on Advance Care Planning in care-dependent community-dwelling older persons) to assess the effects of Advance Care Planning interventions on patients’ medical treatment preferences. Methods: The design of Treat-Me-ACP is based on the Emanuel Medical Directive and the Life Support Preferences Questionnaires. Using a multi-stage team approach a preliminary version of the Treat-Me-ACP was developed and pre-tested. The pre-tested instrument consists of one global medical care goal-item, five hypothetical scenarios with five hypothetical treatments, and one how would you feel-item within each scenario. A total of five scenario preference scores and five treatment preference scores can be formed. This version was subsequently applied to a subsample of the STADPLAN project (n = 80) to assess patient’s preferences at baseline (T0) and at 12-month follow-up (T2). The further validation steps were based on this subsample and included: (1) acceptance by using completion rate and frequencies of missing data, (2) internal consistency by using Cronbach’s α to test whether it was possible to create preference scores by scenario and treatment, (3) concurrent validation examining the association between the global medical care goal-item and the preference scores and the association between the how would you feel-items and the scenario preference scores, and (4) responsiveness of the instrument to changes in preferences for life-sustaining treatments by comparing preference scores from T0 to T2 between study groups. Results: Acceptance of the instrument was high. Results of concurrent validation indicate that the five scenarios represent the global medical care goal well. The preference scores showed an average tendency for decreasing preferences for life-sustaining treatments across all scales for the intervention group during study follow-up. Conclusions: The Treat-Me-ACP can be used to evaluate the dynamics of patients’ medical treatment preferences in Advance Care Planning. It has been validated for care-dependent community-dwelling older persons and can be used as an additional outcome measure in evaluating the effectiveness of ACP interventions.

Neural networks underlying language processing in same script bilinguals

description: A small area in the inferior occipito-temporal cortex of the brain named the Visual Word Form Area (VWFA) was shown to be involved in recognition of written words.  This area becomes more active when participants view written words as compared to other kinds of visual stimuli, such as checkerboard patterns (e.g., Cohen et al., 2000; 2002), digits (Polk et al., 2002), or geometric shapes (Gros et al., 2001).   This dissertation research examined how functional specialization to written words emerges in the VWFA as a function of language experience and how the response in this area may rapidly adapt to the constraints imposed by the characteristics of the visual input.  VWFA activity was measured with fMRI in two samples of same-script bilingual speakers, who varied in the level of proficiency across two languages.  In Experiments 1 and 2, activity for first and second language words was contrasted with checkerboard pattern baseline.  Both overlapping and distinct areas of activation within VWFA were found for each language.  The extent of activation overlap for first and second language was related to participants' language proficiency and age of acquisition.  This result was confirmed by univariate (Experiment 1) and multivariate (Experiment 2) analyses.  In Experiment 3, repetition suppression was observed in the VWFA for word-pairs with similar orthography (homographs), but not for word-pairs with similar orthography and meaning (cognates), indicating that the VWFA is sensitive to semantic information.  In addition, graphical connectivity analyses revealed that the more proficient language activated a ventral route from the VWFA to the prefrontal areas, and the less proficient language activated a dorsal route.  Experiment 4 tested whether neural activity in the VWFA increases when target words are semantically congruent with the rest of the words in a sentence.  The results showed that while the VWFA activity is buffered against repetition suppression by semantic similarity between single words, the VWFA is not sensitive to sentence level congruency.  Collectively, the results suggest that the VWFA supports abstract orthographic processing, with similar mechanisms employed for early-acquired same-script languages, and that it participates in the integration of incoming visual information with single word semantics.

How perception of status differences affects our decision making
Creators: name: Bhattacharya, Swati
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2012

description: As human beings, we aspire higher to achieve greater security in our lives. We assess our standing in society in relative terms. Past studies have shown that our subjective social status relative to society can determine health consequences (Operario et al, 2004). Yet, we have a limited understanding of how to measure our subjective status and how that affects our decision making and behavior. Understanding these may reveal important information about how perception of status differences affects behavior. Therefore, the primary goal of this dissertation is to closely examine perception of status in order to evaluate its subsequent effect on decision making.  Four studies were conducted to examine the relationship between status perceptions and decision making. In the first study, we established a laboratory manipulation of status, designed and validated appropriate questionnaires, and probed its effects on decision making via an economic game called the Ultimatum Game. In study 2, we examined how perception of status affected choice of an experimental status symbol. Both of these studies showed a negative relationship with decision making. In study 1, the low status subjects, who felt inferior to their partner, shared more with their high status partners. And in study 2, we observed that in certain contexts, the low status subjects, who felt inferior to their partner, chose the experimental status symbol more. However, in study 3, when we made the experimental situation riskier, subjects who perceived themselves to be inferior to their partner chose the status symbol less than their high status counterparts. In addition, low status subjects showed more affinity for risk at specific levels. In study 4, we examined if these effects were due to self-esteem and found no effect of self-esteem.   Together, these studies showed that laboratory manipulations of status can capture psychological aspects of the status experience and may induce a compensatory tendency. These compensatory tendencies may vary depending on both status of the subject and riskiness of the situation. Studying status in a laboratory setting allows researchers to understand these behaviors more closely and speculate on how to best address status concerns for the betterment of society.

description: IOC is also considered as one of the major threats to global security, "impeding the social, economic, political and cultural development of societies worldwide".  IOC has manifested "itself in different activities, among others, drug trafficking, trafficking in human beings; trafficking in firearms; smuggling of migrants; money laundering; etc."  and criminals have expanded these activities thanks to globalization. In the same vein, Naim sees illegal trafficking of drugs, arms, intellectual property, people, and money as the Five Wars of Globalization.  Therefore, the fight against IOC is of high importance in terms of global security.   The use of the new technologies in combating IOC has caused tangible changes in the operations of law enforcement agencies. In an effort to demonstrate this change, this study intends to answer the question of “What is the impact of the use of new technologies and especially the use of GPS based vehicle tracking systems by law enforcement agencies in the fight against international organized crime”? The study proposed to answer this question by conducting interviews with 63 police officers working in the Ankara, Istanbul and Van districts of the Turkish National Police in Turkey.   The study emphasized the importance of the use of new policing technologies in LEAs’ fight against crime and found that LEAs have been benefiting from the use of CCTV systems, modernized patrol cars, computer forensics, lawful interception and observation systems in both detection and seizure of suspects or criminals.  The study also found that GPS based vehicle tracking systems (VTS) have also contributed to global security by contributing LEAs’ fight against IOC. Findings of the study showed that the TNP officers benefited from the use of VTS devices in their national and international operations in the fight against IOC.   Furthermore the study also analyzed whether there were any human rights violations arising from law enforcement officer's use of VTSs in their operations in the US and Europe. According to the court decisions provided in the study it was found that there was no human rights violations arising from law enforcement officer’s use of VTSs in their operations in the US and Europe.

description: L’objectif de cette étude est d’analyser les effets des sources de financement à la création et la survie des entreprises en Afrique Centrale. Une démarche méthodologique en deux étapes a permis l’atteinte de cet objectif. La première étape a balisé le chemin à l’évaluation empirique et s’inspire de la théorie des approches intégratives et de l’échec entrepreneurial, des théories de la structure du capital, de la théorie du financement hiérarchique et de la théorie du compromis. La seconde étape a consisté à décrire les données de la Banque des Etats de l’Afrique Centrale (2016) utilisées dans le cadre de l’étude et d’estimer deux modèles logits simples. Lesdites estimations ont permis d’obtenir les résultats suivants : les entreprises créées grâce aux financements formels ont plus de chance de survie que celles créées avec les financements informels, d’une part, et que les entreprises créées concomitamment avec les financements formel et informel ont plus de chance de survie que celles créées avec des financements informels, d’autre part. Au surplus, les entreprises créées grâce aux ressources prêtées et propres au(x) promoteur(s), ont plus de chance de survivre que celles dont les ressources à la création ont été non prêtées.

The decadent vampire
Creators: name: Spatola, Justine J.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2012

description: John William Polidori published "The Vampyre" in 1819, and, as the first person to author a work of English vampire fiction, he ultimately established the modern image of the aristocratic vampire, which writers such as Bram Stoker later borrowed.  The literary vampire, exemplified by Lord Ruthven, reveals the influence of Burkean aesthetics; however, the vampire's portrayal as a degenerate nobleman and his immense popularity with readers also ensured that he would have a tremendous impact on nineteenth century culture.  "The Vampyre" foreshadows the more socially-aware Gothic literature of the Victorian period, but the story's glorification of the perverse vampire also presents a challenge to traditional morality.  This essay explores the influence of the literary vampire not just on broader aspects of nineteenth century culture but also its influence on the Decadent Movement (focusing on the works of writers such as Charles Baudelaire, Théophile Gautier, and Oscar Wilde) in order to show how it reflects the decadent abnormal.  In doing so, however, this essay also questions whether decadence ought to be understood as a nineteenth century European phenomenon, as opposed to a movement that was confined to the late Victorian period; the beliefs shared by decadent writers often originated in Romanticism, and the Romantics' fascination with the supernatural suggests that they were perhaps as interested in perverse themes as the Decadents.

description: Background: The end-users’ acceptance is a core concept in the development, implementation and evaluation of new systems like robotic systems in daily nursing practice. So far, studies have shown various findings concerning the acceptance of systems that are intended to assist people with support or care needs. Not much has been reported on the acceptance of robots that provide direct physical assistance to nurses in bedside care. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the acceptance along with ethical implications of the prototype of an assistive robotic arm aiming to support nurses in bedside care, from the perspective of nurses, care recipients and their relatives. Methods: A cross-sectional survey design was applied at an early stage in the technological development of the system. Professional nurses, care recipients and relatives were recruited from a university hospital and a nursing home in Germany. The questionnaire was handed out following either a video or a live demonstration of the lab prototype and a subsequent one-to-one follow-up discussion. Data analysis was performed descriptively. Results: A total of 67 participants took part in the study. The rejection of specified ethical concerns across all the respondents was 77%. For items related to both perceived usefulness and intention to use, 75% of ratings across all the respondents were positive. In the follow-up discussions, the participants showed interest and openness toward the prototype, although there were varying opinions on aspects such as size, appearance, velocity, and potential impact on workload. Conclusions: Regarding the current state of development, the acceptance among the participants was high, and ethical concerns were relatively minor. Moving forward, it would be beneficial to explore the acceptance in further developmental stages of the system, particularly when the usability is tested.

description: Few American haiku poets can claim to be as enthusiastic and prolific as Nick Virgilio. Over a twenty-five year period, the Camden poet amassed a collection of over 20,000 haiku, many of them unpublished. His poetry covers the contemporary American experience, from gritty urban life in Camden to the erosion of rural American communities in the face of industrialization. The poet writes about the loss of his brother in Vietnam and the toll of such losses on the American psyche. Most of all, through his poetry, workshops and lectures, Virgilio worked tirelessly to get America back in touch the life-giving power of nature that surrounds our everyday lives.    This thesis is an exploration of Virgilio’s haiku, both from his published work, Selected Haiku, and the unpublished Virgilio Collection from Rutgers University’s Robeson Library. The text discusses the differences between Eastern and Western haiku and the development of American haiku as an independent art form. Next, we turn to Virgilio’s haiku themselves, applying the idea of “layers of meaning” to discuss the movement of the poems’ point of view from the individual to the community to the entire society. We then examine thematic issues, such as Virgilio’s address of Camden’s poor and the dissolution of rural communities. Last, we end with a look at the poet’s process of writing and revision with several examples of how he tirelessly revised and improved his writing over time.    Nick Virgilio’s poetry uses the haiku’s spare but emotionally powerful form to draw together nature and society into an inextricable bond. His potent themes and clear artistry will certainly appeal to a young generation growing up in the economic turmoil and changing values of today.

description: Human carbonic anhydrase IX (hCA IX) is a zinc(II)-dependent metalloenzyme that plays a critical role in the conversion of carbon dioxide and water to protons and bicarbonate. It is a membrane-bound protein with an extracellular catalytic center that is predominantly overexpressed in solid hypoxic tumors. Sulfamates and sulfonamides, for example acetazolamide (AZA), have been used to inhibit hCA IX in order to improve the response to solid hypoxic tumors. In the present study, we propose a new drug targeting approach by attaching the natural cytotoxic substances betulin and betulinic acid (BA) via a linker to sulfonamides. The conjugate was designed with different spacer lengths to accumulate at the target site of hCA IX. Computational and cell biological studies suggest that the length of the linker may influence hCA IX inhibition. Cytotoxicity tests of the newly synthesized bifunctional conjugates 3, 5, and 9 show effective cytotoxicity in the range of 6.4 and 30.1 µM in 2D and 3D tumor models. The hCA IX inhibition constants of this conjugates, measured using an in vitro enzyme assay with p-nitrophenyl acetate, were determined in a low µM-range, and all compounds reveal a significant inhibition of hypoxia-induced CA activity in a cell-based assay using the Wilbur–Anderson method. In addition, the cells respond with G1 increase and apoptosis induction. Overall, the dual strategy to produce cytotoxic tumor therapeutics that inhibit tumor-associated hCA IX was successfully implemented.

Visual tools in service industries

description: This study advances the literature on Lean Six Sigma (LSS) and use of visual tools. The paper focuses on understanding the association between specific visual tools developed within LSS process improvement programs in a service industry and individual job performance, as measured by objective quality assurance reviews and moderated by the type of leader (low transformational vs. high transformational).  I further build on the literature by using a within- subjects archival field methodology to test my hypothesis that quality of work will significantly change after visual tool implementation.  The data was obtained from 114 employees and 23 managers of a Fortune 100 customer service company. Results show that there is a significant increase in quality scores when using visual tools.  Transformational leadership did not moderate this relationship; however, individuals with highly transformational managers were significantly better performers regardless of the visual tools. Implications for further study and for organizations in how they may better design and implement organizational tools to produce positive outcomes for their employees and organizations in general are discussed.
Structural characterization of 4-(4-Nitrophenyl)thiomorpholine, a precursor in medicinal chemistry

description: 4-(4-nitrophenyl)thiomorpholine, the title compound, has been used as a precursor for the corresponding 4-thiomorpholinoaniline, which is a useful building block in medicinal chemistry. The crystal and molecular structures of the title compound, however, have not been described thus far. We synthesized the title compound by means of a nucleophilic aromatic substitution reaction of 4-fluoronitrobenzene and thiomorpholine and structurally characterized it by X-ray crystallography, DFT calculations, and Hirshfeld surface analysis. In the crystal, the molecule exhibits an approximately CS-symmetric structure, with the nitrogen-bound 4-nitrophenyl group in a quasi axial position on the six-membered thiomorpholine ring in a low-energy chair conformation. The solid-state structure of the title compound is markedly different from that of its morpholine analogue. This can be ascribed to the formation of centrosymmetric dimers through intermolecular C–H···O weak hydrogen bonds involving the methylene groups adjacent to the sulfur atom and face-to-face aromatic stacking.

description: Barrens is a poetry collection that examines the complexities of female identity, mostly using the backdrop of the New Jersey Pine Barrens where I spent my childhood. All but a handful of poems are free verse, and many operate under the impulses of persona poetry, but together, create narrative threads. The first section of the book, “In Exchange for a Tongue” focuses on developing an identity while simultaneously navigating relationships. The girls of these poems dismantle the elements of their physical and emotional experiences in attempts to find the proper mode of expression: Should I be restrained or animalistic? What concessions am I willing to make? How will I maintain my integrity, if I ever had it in the first place? In the second section, “Mother Leeds Speaks,” I give a little-recognized figure in Pine Barrens folklore—the mother of the Jersey Devil—a voice in order to explore how a story changes according to the needs of the story teller. In this version of this old folktale, not only does Mother Leeds give birth to a monster, she has a twin brother with similar monstrous features. She is both terrified and intrigued by the monster latent within her. These poems struggle with the question of what defines a woman who has little control of the elements that divide her.

Rewriting our comments and revisiting revision practices
Creators: name: Bier, Roni L.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied

description: The driving instructional tool in the majority of writing classrooms, comments, is failing students and instructors because comments are a tool, and not a technique.  The utility of comments within the writing classroom is only as strong as its pairing with other instructional techniques.  Using comments to teach comments is a flawed method of instruction, and if instructors want to properly use comments within their classes, they must first show their students how to use these techniques in improving their writing.     Thus far, the focus of facilitating student revision and student growth within writing classrooms has been on the study of specific comments written by instructors on student papers.  The study of such comments reveals the differences in styles, modes, and voices projected from those instructors, but it does reveal much about the intended goal of such comments, the advancement of student writing.  Looking back on previous research and incorporating a multifaceted approach to revision helps to build sustainable writing instruction.  A review of literature of comments suggests placing students in the center of the classroom by enabling students to take control over the revisions of their own work.  This process cannot be done without teaching students how to do things with comments and how to use comments to their advantage.  Starting from Joseph Harris’ Rewriting, the same steps toward revision which Harris suggests of students should be copied and applied to the way in which instructors facilitate such revision within the classroom.  The improvement of student writing requires several steps which target particular issues with the status quo of commenting, and the use of Harris’ text will enable us to identify the steps.  Incorporating revision into the classroom, inviting students into conversation about their text, and opening the lines of communication can help improve revision practices in writing classrooms.    Through incorporating a new mastery model within the writing classroom, a technique that begins to show students how comments are made and what to do with them, students can begin to internalize the many processes which they can apply to any writing.  The teacher’s goal is to help the student internalize the concepts and apply without the direct instruction of the teacher; however, many writing classrooms have lost this focus.  If teachers refocus the classroom on the process of writing and even the process of editing and revising, students will become not just stronger students but writers.  Adjustments in the writing classroom cannot occur overnight, but incorporating revision techniques into the course will eventually pay off as students learn to revise their work.  These techniques, although not new, can prepare students for writing outside the composition classroom.
