...Running head: Educational Psychology Inez Beverly Prosser: Educational Psychology Cheyenne Williams Edward Waters College Abstract This paper will attempt to explore the background of Inez Beverly Prosser, her contributions and theoretical perspective in the field of modern psychology. Inez Beverly Prosser was arguably the first African American woman to earn a doctorate in psychology. She completed her dissertation in 1933, which examined personality differences in black children attending either voluntarily segregated or integrated schools. Inez Beverly Prosser: Educational psychology Inez Beverly Prosser, PhD, was born into a family of 11 children in the 19th century. Her year of birth is unknown, their father Samuel Andrew Beverly, worked as a waiter and her mother, Veola Hamilton, worked as a homemaker. The family moved throughout cities in Texas. Prosser grew up in south central Texas where she attended “colored schools” and developed a passion for education and the value it holds for changing lives. The family planned to send her older brother Leon to college, however they could only afford to send one of their children. Leon convinced his parents to pay for Prosser instead of him because he believed her passion for education was greater and later it proved to be a good investment. She contributed advice and money to help five of her sibling’s graduate college. Inez Prosser attended college at Prairie View...

Calvert: From the Position of Associate Justice (1950-1961) to Texas Supreme Court Chief Justice from (1961-1972) Primary Thesis: Judge Calvert moved up the judicial ladder by adhering literally to the letter of the law in basing his decisions. Did his poor orphaned state raised background and have a direct effect on sensational rise to the highest position in the Texas judicial system. The effects of electing judges in Texas resulted in putting judges on the benches with no prior judicial experience, during the 50’s through the early 70’s basically family men or local politicians.

...INTRODUCTION: A BAGLESS AUSTIN The future is upon us. Store-goers will soon need to re-evaluate their shopping experience, as Austin will be going bagless beginning March 1, 2013. All consumers use plastic or paper bags on a regular basis, whether while retail shopping or grocery shopping. That’s all about to change, however; the passage of this new law means that those paper and plastic bags are on the way out. Single-use bag use will be diminished, re-usable bags are headed to the forefront, and shoppers will be getting used to a new experience when the head to their local grocery early next year. BACKGROUND According to a city report released this year, “Austinities use 263 million plastic bags a year – that’s more than 330 bags a year for every resident. It costs the city – meaning it costs us the taxpayers – about $850,000 a year to dispose of plastic bags.”(Lisheron, 2012) Consumers in Austin have already started to get a taste of what is to come. Companies, such as Walgreens, have implemented a trial test on stores to gauge the impact of the law being passed. Candace White, an avid shopper at the Slaughter and South Congress Walgreens, was quite confused when the cashier thanked her for coming but did not place her products in a plastic bag. The cashier informed her about Austin going bagless and she was given a free recycled bag. Like most Austinities, she was not informed of the new law which is soon to be enforced. This paper will reinforce the reasons why going...

...to keep the business in operation. The owner, Bradley Stonefield, wants to be comparable to the other limousine services around town so this must be considered when recommendations for compensation and benefits are made. Although the company is projected to see a 5% revenue growth over the first few years, they are estimating to have a net revenue of -$50,000 for the first year. The recommendations provided in this paper shall assist Landslide with securing their place in the transportation market in Austin, Texas. Market Research Evaluating companies in the relevant market will keep you competitive. We have researched 2 established car service companies in Austin, Texas operating with 25 employees or less. We started with a company you may be familiar with. Founded in 1989 by Tony Alyassin, Royal Carriages Limousine operates a substantial fleet of more than 25 vehicles (http://royalcarriages.com/). Employee are independent contractors with a compensation package of a flat wage rate and a corporate contribution to the National Taxi Drivers Association of Austin. The National Taxi Drivers Association is an organization that was founded in 2009 that focuses on taxi and limousine driver issues like healthcare for drivers, state regulations, and safety for professional drivers. The NATD points out that the nearly 250,000 taxi and limo drivers in the United States have been one of America's most overlooked groups of independent contractors.

...Genre Analysis of an Academic Paper This academic paper is following the major of psychology, with a lot of appropriate information on the “halo effect” and experimental studies behind it. There is a pretty good depth of context and background information behind this paper, which helps the credibility and validity of the information provided. Written in the Journal of Psychology, researchers conduct a study primarily on college students to determine the effectiveness of the halo effect, and if it’s still pertinent or not. Stated in the article, the organization’s purpose is “primary to determine the magnitude of the physical attractiveness halo effect” (Lucker 1). Although I found no missions statement of the authors, I believe it’s pretty clear they work through the department of psychology to conduct and update new research for the social behaviorisms of persons, in this case colleges students. The readers and writers say a lot about this article as well. Authors include William G. Lucker, William E. Beane, and Robert L. Helmreich. From doing some of my own research, I found that all three have PH.Ds in psychology, and attended credited colleges. Luker, for example, was an attendee at the University of Texas in Austin. Lucker has also written many of his own books in the field of social psychology, strengthening his awareness for the field. This makes me trust this article and the research provided. From my conclusions, I feel that this paper is primarily written for other...

...quality research relevant to the research question. A systematic review uses carefully developed data collection and sampling procedures that are put in place in advance as a protocol. (Polit, 2012). A systematic review must contain the following: a clear inclusion and exclusion criteria, an explicit search strategy, systematic coding and analysis of included studies, and a meta-analysis if possible. (Hemingway & Brereton, 2009). Systematic reviews are conducted by nurse researchers to avoid reaching incorrect or misleading conclusions that could arise from a biased study. Systematic reviews are perceived by many as the cornerstone of evidence-based practice. (Polit, 2012). The issue of concern that this article addresses is “to systematically evaluate nurse working conditions and to review the literature dealing with their association with patient outcomes.” (Bae, 2011). “The aim of this study is to fulfill two objectives: a systematic evaluation of nurse working conditions and a review of the literature dealing with the association between nurse working conditions and patient outcomes. The innovative review of research on working conditions focused on the relationships between nurse working conditions and patient outcomes.” (Bae, 2011). The author of this systematic review, Dr. Sung-Hei Bae, is currently an Assistant Professor of Nursing in the Graduate Program in Nursing Administration and Healthcare Systems Management at the University of Texas at Austin.

...Compensation and Benefits Strategies Recommendations May 20, 2014 Steven Colon James Thompson Oscar Caldera University of Phoenix HRM/531 Robin Sully Compensation and Benefits Strategies Recommendations The following paper will be about the development of the compensation and benefit recommendations for Mr. Bradley Stonefield. This development will have a market evaluation with researches on what companies in the relevant market are providing to employees from a total compensation perspective. With the results of the research, we will then take a look at the compensation structure. With these two outcomes, we will be able to recommend a position in the market. We will also be creating a total compensation and benefits strategy, consider the use of performance incentives and merit pay to recognize and engage employees. In creating these compensations we will have to identify laws related to the benefits and pay program. Results for the Market Evaluation The results for the market evaluation will show that it will be very competitive for a small startup business to hire qualified and experienced limousine drivers in Austin, Texas. According to the Yellow Pages (2014), Austin has over 113 limousine business competing in the same market. With these many companies operating in the same market may result in several issues when it deals with human resources (HR). One of the issues with this type of market is that should assume high employee...

Booth and Rex Sinquefield, both graduates of the University Of Chicago Graduate School Of Business.

The founders also believed that academic research and the ability of skilled traders could contribute to a fund’s profits even when the investment was inherently passive. At the first stage, DFA was aiming single investment fund that consisted with small stocks which fit its position in the market as a passive fund. The initial clients were major for tax-exempt institutions such as government, union pension funds and charities and etc. With the time going, DFA pursued individuals while through the intermediaries known as RIAs.
