Abstract:
The intertwined relationship between poverty and violence, especially in the lives of women on welfare, has been receiving critical attention since welfare reform. The Family Violence Option (FVO), an amendment to the Personal Responsibility and Work Reconciliation Act of 1996, gives states the flexibility to offer more time for battered women to seek safety. Kansas created the Orientation, Assessment, Referral, and Safety (OARS) program, in which the state's welfare system contracts services with advocacy organizations that provide on-site services for women who qualify to participate under the FVO. This study explored the interagency collaboration model used in Kansas by talking directly with domestic violence survivors about their experiences. The results from this study challenge practitioners to think differently about collaboration to meet the needs of domestic violence survivors on welfare.

Abstract:
Based on this 1995 study of 163 families in the Kansas City area who experienced the death of a loved one age 50+ in the previous months, we found that combined funeral and cemetery-related costs ranged from $195 to over $14,000. We also report ranges in costs for caskets, outer burial containers, cemetery expenses, and funeral home costs. Total final costs were regressed on two independent variables, 1) presence of a preneed funeral home contract and, 2) type of body disposition (burial versus cremation). This model explained over 40 percent of the variation in total final costs. Final costs for decedents who were cremated were $4,426 less than their buried counterparts, and those with a preneed contract spent about $1,600 less. Implications for families and for helping professionals who may have interactions with families around the time of death are provided. Readers are cautioned that the purchase of a preneed funeral contract is not without financial risk; the financial risk varies from state to state. Other options of setting funds aside to cover final arrangements are discussed.

Abstract:
84 Background: Children's Mercy (CM) established a cancer survivorship clinic that cares for approximately 180 survivors a year. A third of the survivors are 18 years or older requiring transition to adult care. The importance of transitioning childhood cancer survivors from pediatric oncology care to adult primary care has been acknowledged in literature, but obstacles remain. Barriers include patient and provider anxiety, difficulty navigating the complex health care system and lack of knowledge regarding late effects. CM and The University of Kansas Cancer Center (KUCC) collaborated to decrease barriers to transition for childhood cancer survivors. Methods: The work group met for 2 years to develop the clinic at KUCC. Models and delivery of survivorship care, including the breast cancer survivorship clinic at KUCC, were reviewed. A shared nurse navigator was identified as an essential component to a seamless transition. Philanthropic support was obtained and job description was developed. Contracts were negotiated to allow the navigator to be present at both institutions. Results: The Survivorship Transition Clinic (STC) at KUCC launched July 2014, with a navigator supporting patients at CM as they begin their transition. The same navigator then meets with the patient at KUCC STC as they initiate care. The navigator provides treatment summaries, patient education and navigates the referral services for survivors. Since clinic launch, 16 survivors out of 16 have successfully transitioned from pediatric to adult survivorship care. Positive feedback was received from patient satisfaction surveys that were administered. A common theme showed a relief from anxiety due to having a contact person to facilitate communication among providers in a complex healthcare system. Conclusions: The nurse navigator has minimized anxiety about transition for patients and parents as she establishes a relationship with patients at CM, and then is able to provide continuity as they transition to the STC at KUMC. The navigator also improves communication between pediatric providers, adult primary care providers and sub-specialists caring for the patients. Overall, our transition process has been effective and is now serving as a model across both institutions.

Abstract:
Safety, cost, ride quality, and performance are characteristics of pavement systems that are considered high-priority customer demands by transportation agencies throughout the world. Ride quality is the characteristic most notable to the traveling public. Throughout the United States, numerous state and federal agencies have developed specifications that require that road contractors meet a minimum level of ride quality before a pavement is approved for payment. Studies have shown that initial (as constructed) ride quality is an important factor in determining overall serviceability and length of time to rehabilitation or reconstruction. A case study in Cowley County, Kansas, in which the ride quality of an existing jointed, plain concrete pavement was significantly improved by the placement of a thin, polymer-modified, asphaltemulsion microsurfacing system, is described. The existing pavement conditions, the construction techniques used by the contractor, and the smoothness measurements before and after construction are noted and discussed. It was found that a marked reduction in roughness can be accomplished with unique construction techniques and microsurfacing.

Abstract:
This case focuses on the University of Kansas football program’s fall from relevance over a nine-year period and the personnel decisions that were made as it happened. The case provides a background on the competitive landscape of intercollegiate athletics, including the importance of conference affiliation, the associated revenues that stem from such affiliations, and the potential threat of conference realignment to demonstrate the importance of a competitive football program. The case then walks the reader through football-related personnel decisions, providing detailed backgrounds of the coaches to identify job-market signals and assess their fit with the job and organization. Details of raises and contract extensions made by the outgoing chancellor and incumbent athletic director are also provided to examine performance standards within Kansas Athletics. As a change in university leadership takes place, the reader is asked to consider what actions, if any, the incoming chancellor should take to turn around a struggling football program and ensure a viable athletic department.

Full text
Abstract:
Off-site construction entails various advantages compared with the traditional construction method; however, the fragmentation of the prefabrication and assembly results in a complex supply chain. Both general contractors and factories often encounter production deviation, making the original component delivery plan nonoptimal. Traditionally, both parties tend to rely on internal resources or third-party resources to manage schedule changes, paying little attention to the optimisation of the component delivery process. The static compensation mechanisms reported in existing literature require factories to manage demand fluctuations but fail to encourage general contractors to control schedule deviations. Therefore, a dynamic compensation mechanism is proposed to achieve just-in-time component delivery, with which a factory shares possible changes for each component’s delivery date to its clients on an inverse Kanban system. First, unfavourable changes for the factory schedule are allocated with surcharges, and the general contractor should compensate the factory if it accepts the date changes; secondly, schedule changes that are beneficial for the factory are assigned as incentives, and the general contractor receives the factory’s incentive upon agreeing to the changes. Based on these two scenarios, genetic algorithm-based optimisation models are developed to achieve optimal delivery planning solutions. General contractors can obtain an optimal component delivery date to reduce the additional cost when they have changed the assembly schedule. General contractors can also optimise their component delivery schedule to trade their duration flexibility for incentives offered by factories. The models can help both parties to reduce component delivery waste when either side has the motivation to change the original component delivery schedules.

Full text
Abstract:
Master of Science<br>Department of Agricultural Economics<br>Mykel Taylor<br>Forward contracts are one of the main tools used by producers to manage price risk because forward contracts shift the risk from producers to the grain elevator offering the contract. The elevators protect themselves from this risk by hedging, leaving them susceptible to basis risk, which they offset by adding a risk premium to the forward contracts they offer producers. This risk premium is affected by increased volatility and by differences in elevator-specific characteristics at elevator locations across Kansas. This study replicates the results in Taylor, Tonsor, and Dhuyvetter (2013) and adds a set of elevator-specific characteristics to measure their effect on risk premiums. A random effects generalized least squares model is estimated due to the data gathered being panel data. The contribution of this study is to further examine the drivers of risk premiums in forward contracts for Kansas wheat. The results indicate that all of the elevator-specific characteristics in the data set have a statistically significant impact on the value of risk premiums on forward contracts for Kansas wheat. The results also confirm the findings in Mallory, Etienne, and Irwin (2012) and Taylor, Tonsor, and Dhuyvetter (2013) that increased volatility post 2007 caused increases in risk premiums. The risk premiums after the structural break in 2007 increased by $0.069695/bushel, as the average risk premium prior to 2008 was $0.158682/bushel, while the average risk premium after 2007 was $0.228378/bushel.

Full text
Abstract:
Master of Science<br>Department of Agricultural Economics<br>Aleksan Shanoyan<br>The purpose of this research is to evaluate and gain a better understanding of the economic feasibility of Kansas farmers growing energy sorghum for biofuel production. The net returns for 11 crop systems that included a no-till or reduced-till option and the rotations involved wheat, grain sorghum, dual-purpose sorghum, and photoperiod sensitive sorghum were simulated in SIMETAR© developed by Richardson, Shumann, and Feldman (2004) using historical data on yields and prices. The price and yield data originates from an agronomic study conducted in Hesston, KS. The biomass yields for the 3 varieties of sorghum are based on experimental work performed in Manhattan, KS. The sorghum biomass prices were obtained from the United States Department of Agriculture Agricultural Marketing Service. Costs for the crop systems are based on the 2014 Kansas State University Herbicide handbook (Thompson et al. 2014), Dhuyvetter, O’Brien, and Tonsor (2014), and Dhuyvetter (2014). The net returns were simulated under five contract scenarios including: a Spot Market contract, a Minimum Price contract, a BCAP Price contract, and 2 levels of the Gross Revenue Guarantee contracts – 60% and 100%. Risk analysis was performed on the simulated net returns through use of the Excel add-in SIMETAR©. Stochastic efficiency analysis was used to evaluate the systems based on the distribution of net returns and risk preferences. The findings are summarized around three important factors influencing farmers’ economic feasibility of growing sorghum for biofuel use: crop systems, risk preferences, and contract specification. Results indicate that the no-till wheat and dual-purpose sorghum crop system without biomass production has the lowest costs and the no-till wheat and photoperiod sensitive sorghum system has the highest production cost. The crop systems that have a no-till option allow for the highest grain and biomass yields. Also, crop systems rotated with wheat are more preferred among producers due to higher net returns. The NTWDPS With system under the BCAP Price contract has the highest net returns and is highest in preference. The findings indicate that the risk aversion does affect the decision to produce sorghum for biofuel, but the effect is not very significant. In terms of contract specification, the results indicate that for Kansas producers, the BCAP Price contract will offer the highest net returns. These findings contribute additional insight on factors affecting Kansas farmers’ economic feasibility of producing sorghum for biofuel and can have important implications for biofuel industry actors and policy makers.

Abstract:
This chapter responds primarily to a recent criticism of Kant by Stephen Houlgate. Like many other recent Hegelian accounts, Houlgate’s severe critique of Kant’s theoretical philosophy contends that, in contrast to Hegel, Kant’s Critical system, especially because of its doctrine of transcendental idealism, presupposes a subjectivist and therefore inadequate position. On the basis of a moderate interpretation of Kant’s idealism and his general Critical procedure, the chapter defends Kant from the charge of subjectivism, and also gives an account of how subjectivist interpretations in general can arise from a series of understandable misunderstandings of difficult passages in Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason.

Full text
Abstract:
This chapter is in three parts. The first part considers the aim of Kant’s Transcendental Deduction, as presented in the second edition of the Critique. It claims programmatically that the aim of §15 to §20 is to disclose the necessary conditions of thinking, while that of the remaining sections—culminating in §26—is to show that these conditions make thinking possible insofar as they lay the foundation of a cosmology of experience. The second part of the chapter opens a two-chapter long study of Kant’s account of thinking and its conditions in the B-Deduction. It examines §15 and §16 of the B-Deduction and attempts to clarify Kant’s statement of the supreme principle of all human knowledge: the manifold of given representations must be brought under the synthetic unity of pure apperception. The third part of the chapter focuses on §17 and Kant’s conception of the relation between knowledge and its object. It compares and contrasts this conception with its counterpart in the Duisburg Nachlaß. It argues that §17 of the B-Deduction tries to correct the dubious idealism implied by the counterpart conception of the Duisburg Nachlaß.

Full text
Abstract:
This chapter considers Kant’s arguments for the claims that lying, miserliness, and servility are violations of duties to oneself. Although his argument against lying appeals to natural teleology, namely, that the purpose of one’s power of communication is to accurately convey one’s thoughts, this chapter argues that the argument is fallacious and that the wrongness of lying is better explained by relating it to the duties of conscience and self-scrutiny—duties partly constitutive of the duty of moral self-perfection. In addressing the duty to avoid miserliness, the chapter considers how Kant’s conception of virtue and vice contrasts with his understanding of the Aristotelian doctrine of the mean. The chapter continues with the duty to avoid servility and its relation to Kant’s conception of ‘true noble pride’ to be found in the earlier lecture notes on ethics. The chapter concludes with a brief discussion of Kant’s so-called moral rigorism.

Abstract:
The membership growth of the NAIA and growing prominence of its basketball tournament gave it greater exposure, but this cut both ways when it was revealed in 1948 that the tournament excluded black players. The NAIA’s racial ban was only one of many discriminatory practices aimed at blacks in mid-century American college athletics, including the Big Ten’s unwritten prohibition of black players. Forced now to address the matter, Emil Liston and Al Duer worked to overturn the rule and make use of the NAIA as a vehicle to force racial change in Kansas City. Duer worked tirelessly to ensure that black players enjoyed the same privileges as white players and also to challenge segregation in the Kansas City hospitality industry. More than simply welcome black players, Duer also helped restructure the NAIA to welcome historically black colleges as full members while also scrupulously avoiding giving offense to existing Southern segregationist member schools. The affirmative efforts of the NAIA to confront the very real problems of scheduling, lodging, and access for black players and historically black colleges did much to win the support of those schools. It also, however, put in stark contrast the relative indifference of the NCAA to the same issues.

Full text
Abstract:
Canceling the Big Deal is becoming more common, but there are still many unanswered questions about the impact of this change and the fundamental shift in the library collections model that it represents. Institutions like Southern Illinois University Carbondale and the University of Oregon were some of the first institutions to have written about their own experience with canceling the Big Deal several years ago, but are those experiences the norm in terms of changes in budgets, collection development, and interlibrary loan activity? Within the context of the University of California system’s move to cancel a system-wide contract with Elsevier, how are libraries managing the communication about Big Deals both internally with library personnel as well as externally with campus stakeholders? Three R1 libraries (University of Maryland, University of Oklahoma, and Kansas State University) will compare their data, discuss both internal and external communication strategies, and examine the impact these decisions have had on their collections in terms of interlibrary loan and collection development strategies. The results of a brief survey measuring the status of the audience members with respect to Big Deals, communication efforts with campus stakeholders, and impacts on collections will also be discussed.

Full text
Abstract:
This paper proposes a quantification method of a product’s emotional quality, which we call kansei quality, with attention paid to its diversity to support the affective design. The customer’s sensitivity towards such a quality differs from person to person due to perception gaps and ambiguity. The proposed method helps the designer to grasp such diverse sensitivities of customers. In contrast to the conventional approach that aims to generalize human sensitivity using average results of sensory tests, the proposed method divides an emotional quality based on differences among the customers’ sensitivity. We apply the proposed method for designing a machine sound in which the designer deals with the sound quality as a kansei quality. We carry out an impression evaluation experiment on human subjects using existing product sounds. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the method, we compare the proposed method with the conventional approach using experimental results. The comparison results show the advantages of the method, such as the avoidance of meaningless average data caused by canceling out multiple different sensitivities. Based on the proposed method, we developed a prototype system that enables the designer to evaluate the kansei qualities of a created sound without conducting a sensory test.
