The Impact of Title IV-E Training on Case Outcomes for Children Serviced by CPS

This study was designed to determine if the professional social work education provided by Title IV-E stipends leads to better case outcomes for children serviced by a southern state in the U.S. Desired case outcomes included lower levels of recurrence of child maltreatment, lower levels of foster care re-entries, greater stability of foster care placements, more reunifications with families within 12 months of placement in foster care, and more adoptions within 24 months of being placed in foster care. Data were obtained from the state’s case outcome records. The findings from the study indicate that Title IV-E stipend workers had significantly better outcomes than Non-Title IV-E workers in two areas: reunifications within twelve months and finalized adoptions within twenty-four months. In addition, non-Title IV-E workers with social work degrees were significantly more likely to achieve positive outcomes regarding recurrence of maltreatment, stability of foster care placement, and length of time to achieve adoption. The study recommends that state child protective service (CPS) agencies continue to offer Title IV-E child welfare training programs and hire degreed social workers. CPS should also continue to support the Title IV-E program and encourage employees to participate in the program. In addition, it is recommended that jobs be restructured to maximize activities that positively impact case outcomes and that the salaries of CPSworkers be increased. Additional research should also be conducted to contribute to a better understanding of other factors that positively impact case outcomes.

Considering Social Factors and Potential Moderation Effects in Children’s Health Research

In light of dramatic changes in American family demography in recent decades, there is a growing recognition that family structure is one of a host of important social factors contributing to children’s health and well-being. The article by Augustine and Kimbro contributes to a growing body of research linking children’s family structure and health outcomes, focusing specifically on the association between family living arrangements and children’s risk of obesity. Their analyses are especially helpful in suggesting that family scholars should pay more attention to potential heterogeneity in relationships between family structure and children’s outcomes.

2010 Home Demonstration Gardens

Themes for the 2010 Home Demonstration Garden Field Days were several newer cultivars of annual flowers (zinnia, four o’clocks, gazania, gaillardia, petunia, coleus, and vinca), a blooming quilt block, eggplant cultivars (including an inedible eggplant), and a compost trial.

Description and chemical composition of ferromanganese deposits from Trout Lake, northern Wisconsin

Sediments were collected with Eckman and Petersen dredges from the bottom of Trout Lake, northern Wisconsin, at 221 stations. Sampling was done with a spud sampler at 32 stations, and core samples were obtained with a Jenkins and Mortimer and a Twenhofel sampler at 17 stations. The shore and offshore deposits of the shores of Trout Lake and the shores of the islands are described. Megascopic descriptions are given of the samples collected with the Eckman and Petersen dredges. Sediments on bottoms of about 10 meters or deeper are mainly gyttja, or crusts composed of mixtures of organic matter, ferric hydroxide, and some form of manganese oxide. The latter deposits are extensive. Detailed descriptions of some of the samples of sands are given, and generalizations respecting size and distribution are made. Tables showing quartiles, medians, and coefficients of sorting and skewness of the coarse sediments collected from the bottom are given in tables. Mechanical analyses of all fine sediments, mainly gyttja, were not made, as previous experience seems to have demonstrated that results have no sedimentational value. Organic matter of the gyttja was determined and also the percentages of lignin in the organic matter. Core samples are composed almost entirely of fine materials, mainly gyttja, and determinations were made on these samples in the same way as on the samples obtained with the Eckman and Petersen dredges. Studies of the core samples show that the fine sediments usually contain in excess of 90 per cent moisture and there is very little change in the moisture content from top to bottom of cores. A map shows the distribution of the iron and manganese deposits. These deposits were found to contain 10 to 20 per cent of organic matter, 11 to 16 per cent of metallic iron, and 12 to 30 per cent of metallic manganese. No stratification of any kind was found in any of the deep-water sediments of Trout Lake except in the iron and manganese crusts. Absence of stratification is considered to be due to the slow rate of deposition and the mixing of sediments by organisms which dwell in them. The data indicate that the rate of deposition in the deep waters of Trout Lake is of the order of 1 foot in 15,000 years.

Horizontal profiles of longwave and shortwave radiation components over sea ice near Barrow, Alaska during the 2011 melt

An integrated instrument package for measuring and understanding the surface radiation budget of sea ice is presented, along with results from its first deployment. The setup simultaneously measures broadband fluxes of upwelling and downwelling terrestrial and solar radiation (four components separately), spectral fluxes of incident and reflected solar radiation, and supporting data such as air temperature and humidity, surface temperature, and location (GPS), in addition to photographing the sky and observed surface during each measurement. The instruments are mounted on a small sled, allowing measurements of the radiation budget to be made at many locations in the study area to see the effect of small-scale surface processes on the large-scale radiation budget. Such observations have many applications, from calibration and validation of remote sensing products to improving our understanding of surface processes that affect atmosphere-snow-ice interactions and drive feedbacks, ultimately leading to the potential to improve climate modelling of ice-covered regions of the ocean. The photographs, spectral data, and other observations allow for improved analysis of the broadband data. An example of this is shown by using the observations made during a partly cloudy day, which show erratic variations due to passing clouds, and creating a careful estimate of what the radiation budget along the observed line would have been under uniform sky conditions, clear or overcast. Other data from the setup's first deployment, in June 2011 on fast ice near Point Barrow, Alaska, are also shown; these illustrate the rapid changes of the radiation budget during a cold period that led to refreezing and new snow well into the melt season.

Rocks and minerals from the Strakhov Fracture Zone, 4°N Mid-Atlantic Ridge

Geological-geophysical data obtained during Cruises 7, 11, and 12 of R/V Akademic Nikolay Strakhov (1989-1991) within the international project EQUARIDGE in the Strakhov Fracture Zone region (4°N) are presented. The trough of the fracture is interpreted as an open extension joint, a graben produced by stretching along the axis of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. Bedrock studies showed that typical mid-ocean tholeiitic basalts occur within the narrow (60 nm wide) axial rift zone, whereas igneous rocks not typical for the ocean were found on the eastern and western flank plateaus. This allows to suppose that a reworked relict continental-type basement of pre-Upper Jurassic age possibly exists beneath the flank plateaus, within the segment under discussion. The above data correspond to the hypothesis of E. Bonatti about nonspreading nature of the basement of Mid-Atlantic Ridge within the equatorial segment and the Strakhov Fracture Zone.

El fenómeno de transducción en la prensa gráfica tucumana : los espejos de Valle Incl160n junto a las pinturas negras de Goya

Nos parece un singular reto referirnos hoy al fenómeno de transducción en la prensa gráfica para hablar con justeza de los beneficios que acarrea este fenómeno en la comunicación que establecen los medios. Desde nuestro interés por el uso de este dispositivo en la prensa escrita, entendemos que el periodista como transductor es el agente transmisor que saca una obra literaria de su órbita específica (las editoriales que la publican, los claustros académicos que la ponen en circulación, las revistas especializadas que con autoridad la tematizan) y la traslada, a través de un medio que le es extraño a la obra misma como la prensa escrita, a una órbita de circulación masiva. Nos proponemos, a partir del análisis de una columna de opinión de la prensa gráfica tucumana, desentrañar los beneficios que aporta este artilugio literario, en tiempos en que el lector de la prensa se muestra cada vez más alejado de la experiencia estética. Resulta esclarecedora la teoría de la Transducción de Jesús G. Maestro, de la cual partimos; sin embargo, la realidad cultural de nuestro país y en particular del interior, nos lleva a mirar el costado positivo del fenómeno, al que se le reprocha a veces que interponga entre el lector y el texto literario demasiado ripio a partir de la figura del "transductor" que no es otro que un intérprete. Esta apreciación que sin duda resulta cierta para el lector que tiene incorporado el hábito de la lectura y que puede tomar iniciativas de lectura, adquiere relatividad para lectores de diarios de un país en el que la proximidad del hombre con el libro deja bastante que desear.

El Movimiento Villero Peronista : Una experiencia de radicalización

El Movimiento Villero Peronista es un espacio donde confluyeron relaciones entre villeros, jóvenes peronistas y curas villeros, cuyo análisis no debe reducirse o subordinarse a alguna de sus partes sino a desentrañar ese entramado de relaciones. Por esta razón, intentamos analizarlo como una organización compleja donde convergieron procesos de radicalización político-sociales, dentro del arco de la nueva izquierda peronista y católica, a la par que destacamos su particularidad como expresión de sectores populares que también extremaron sus prácticas y concepciones políticas durante los años 70, tan invisibilizados del relato hegemónico sobre la época. Por esta razón, este estudio aborda al Movimiento Villero Peronista como una organización política territorial de la izquierda peronista, adscribiendo a una perspectiva socio-histórica que analiza su génesis, su especificidad en tanto movimiento villero y las características de su organización político-ideológica. Por otro lado, esbozamos una perspectiva que reconoce una "identidad villera" particular sobre la cual intentamos reflexionar como hipótesis de trabajo acerca de su devenir en "una organización política" en sí misma, mediante el análisis genealógico de su organización social y participación política propia
