Abstract:

Aircraft Carriers are naval vessels that allow for landing and take-off of military aircraft. Typically, Aircraft Carriers are active for 50 to 60 years then need to be retired or decommissioned. The ship is either torn apart for resources, sunk to the bottom of the ocean to serve as an artificial reef, or tied up to a dock indefinitely to serve as a sterile museum. The purpose of this research is to explore a fourth option that allows the public to appreciate the steel beasts in a manner that is respective and full of awe.

Abstract:

In what is historically a brief number of years, the life and times of John F. Kennedy have taken on legendary proportions. His presidency began with something less than a mandate from the American people, but he brought to the White House an inspiration and a style that offered great promises of things to come.

Full text

Abstract:

Jeffery K. Tulis authored a book entitled The Rhetorical Presidency, in which he argues the role of the United States chief executive now centers on his, or her, ability to speak over Congress and directly to the public. A modern or contemporary president’s ability to accomplish roles typically associated with the executive office is principally dependent on his/her implicit role: to appeal to public opinion. Presidential power comes from how effectively the chief executive can employ rhetorical discourse to affect change from the audience. This is an interesting concept for consideration, especially as it relates to contemporary President John F. Kennedy. In a 2013 Gallup poll, Americans rated Kennedy as the most outstanding, above average president in the contemporary era—the inception of which came around the turn of the 20th century. The primary inquiry, “why is this so,” can be answered through an examination into Kennedy’s rhetorical discourse, specifically his foreign crisis speeches. This thesis’ primary analysis centers on Kennedy’s address to the American Society of Newspaper Editors on April 20, 1961 following the failure of the Bay of Pigs invasion on Cuba. Utilizing a unique analytic framework provided from the theoretical understandings of Lloyd F. Bitzer’s rhetorical situation and Karlyn Kohrs Campbell and Kathleen Hall Jamieson’s rhetorical hybrids model, with supplement aide from scholars such as Bonnie Dow and Denise Bostdorff, the aim is to provide value to the subject of rhetorical communication by researching, studying and analyzing an area of interest that has not received much to any scholarly emphasis in the past.

Abstract:

"Shuttle" presents a text' with maps and color photographs, suitable for publication, to inform members of the news media uninformed with space shuttle flights. Because of the voluminous press materials for shuttle missions submitted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, this creative project attempted to compile information as to the most relevant topics of space shuttle flights obtained from official NASA publications, interviews, transcripts and from veteran space center reporters. Since the author has photographed and covered six Orbiter missions for newspapers and radio, personal observations in this creative project explain a "behind-the-scenes” of varying practical experience at the John F. Kennedy Space Center.NASA has four space shuttles--Columbia, Challenger, Discovery and Atlantis. From that combined "space pool" at least 400 manned missions are planned, some more ambitious than others. But each of the four Orbiters will require relevant information on the part of media representatives at Kennedy, especially those at the space center for the very first time. "Shuttle" is intended to help meet those news responsibilities.

Full text

Abstract:

The purpose of this study is to examine the 1960 presidential campaign of John F. Kennedy and the 1968 presidential campaign of Robert F. Kennedy in order to analyze the similarities and differences that exist in their campaigns and their rhetoric. Specifically, the study examines the primary campaign rhetoric of the candidates and determines the rhetorical vision and fantasy themes that are created in three speeches from each campaign. The following research questions are proposed: What are the differences and similarities between John Kennedy and Robert Kennedy, in terms of their presidential rhetoric, their presidential campaigns, and their rhetorical visions? Does Robert Kennedy's rhetoric seem to be an extension of his brother's rhetoric or does it stand as his own?The study selects three speeches from each campaign as artifacts. The first speech by each candidate was the announcement of his candidacy. The second followed soon thereafter, before primary election results were a factor. The last speech reviewed in each campaign occurred after primary election results were announced, and the candidates had achieved success and failure in their campaigns.Fantasy theme analysis is employed to determine the fantasies that exist in the rhetoric and the rhetorical vision that is presented in each campaign. The analysis finds that each vision is comprised of four fantasy themes. The findings reveal that Robert Kennedy's rhetoric and rhetorical vision act as an entity separate from John Kennedy's, with unique goals and a different focus.

Abstract:

An intensive, replicated monthly sampling of snake communities inhabiting four habitat types was conducted at John F. Kennedy Space Center, Brevard County, Florida from November 2002 through October 2003. Thirteen species (580 individuals plus 74 recaptures) plus one hybrid were captured. The three most commonly captured species, Coluber constrictor, Thamnophis sirtalis, and Thamnophis sauritus, combined made up 85% of the sample. These three species were active during every month of the year, but showed modal activity patterns typical of Temperate Zone snakes. Monthly snake captures were correlated with monthly captures of potential prey species and with mean monthly temperature. Species richness in the four habitat types varied from nine to 12. Drift fences in ruderal habitats had the highest species richness, while fences in swales captured the greatest number of individuals. The most dissimilar habitat pair was scrub and swale, while the most similar pair was ruderal and hammock. Box traps proved more effective for targeting the largest snake species, while funnel and box traps were equally effective for targeting other species.

Abstract:

Is hyper-sexuality intrinsically linked with leadership? Should there be a new category of leaders to include sexual compulsion as part of successful dominance? What about the leadership of these Presidents compensated for their hyper-sexuality and allowed them to rise to the most powerful position in the world? What does it say about our society when we accept, elect, and idealize this behavior? Does sexual compulsion inhibit leaders or are their benefits such as infusing them with confidence and gratification? Is it actually condemnable at all? To answer these questions I’ve had to dive as deeply as I can into the psyche of these two Presidents: John F. Kennedy and Bill Clinton.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis begins by situating the work of Walter Benjamin in its historical complexity and examining the conceptual underpinnings of his phantasmagoria. Benjamin's Arcades Project is considered in light of his attempts to resituate primary structuring dichotomies in a fluid and dynamic configuration. These dichotomies include the political and the apolitical, the material and the immaterial, and the past and the present. The phantasmagoria-as-metaphor is then employed as a methodological framework for analyzing the ever-circulating images of John F. Kennedy.
This thesis is primarily concerned with the conceptual tools necessary to argue that an image is more "real" than its real-life counterpart, that is, real enough to carry resonances that extend beyond both its diminutive "artifice", and its original context. The relations between the immaterial image and its material referent are discussed as complementary and shifting, rather than oppositional and static. This thesis explores the possible and the actual convergence of the image and its material counterparts.

Full text

Abstract:

How a speaker can use their posture, gesture, facial expression and voice to create a strong ethos, pistis and sense of trustworthiness is, in this paper, associated with charisma (the power of leadership or authority).

Verbal and nonverbal expressions from three particular speeches by Martin Luther King, John F Kennedy and Bill Clinton have been analyzed in depth. The results show that patos as well as strong nonverbal expression are factors in inspiring devotion or creating enthusiasm. Personal magnetism and radiance is also found to develop through figures of speech and rhetorical devices, including metaphors. Results show that facial expressions, pitch and other prosodic information are not always consciously taken in. Nevertheless, it is questioned whether such information can affect the ethos and pistis developed. This kind of subconscious infliction can be made visible by modern technical equipment. By identifying relevant para- and extralinguistic signals (so called ‘charismatic behaviors’ e.g. intense eyecontact) we can more easily understand why some people affect us greatly, while others go unnoticed.

Abstract:

Objet de fascination et sans doute plus que jamais de suspicion, le président américain cristallise sur sa personne toutes sortes de fantasmes. Cibles obsédantes des médias, sa personnalité, sa performance présidentielle et dans une moindre mesure son épouse constituent autant d'éléments qui jouent un rôle déterminant dans la représentation que tout un chacun se fait de celui qui occupe les plus hautes fonctions. Le traitement médiatique dont fait l'objet le chef de l'exécutif fixe indéniablement une image dans l'opinion qui résulte à la fois de la relation singulière que ce dernier noue avec les journalistes mais également de sa virtuosité à faire usage de la chaire magistrale. Il convient toutefois de relativiser quelque peu une influence qui, si elle est souvent avérée, peut dans certains cas se révéler largement exagérée. Alors que l'avènement au pouvoir de Kennedy consacre le rôle de l'image comme valeur dominante de la société, notamment du fait de la télévision qui devient un média de masse sous sa présidence, il semble qu'à la révérence et l'admiration portées au chef de l'exécutif américain se sont substitués méfiance et cynisme. L'image de l'homme politique en général mais plus spécifiquement de celui qui incarne l'autorité suprême apparaît en effet comme altérée. De fait, Kennedy est à la charnière entre deux époques : entre une ère qui a plus que jamais exalté la grandeur présidentielle et une autre qui signe sa désacralisation. La guerre du Vietnam qui deviendra emblématique des excès d'une présidence devenue impériale sonne en effet le glas d'une période dorée pour l'institution. Outre les souffrances qu'elle engendre, elle est à l'origine d'égarements en tous genres qui vont précipiter les successeurs de Kennedy dans une spirale de discrédit à laquelle Ronald Reagan mettra un terme sans réussir à inverser la tendance de manière pérenne. Le scandale du Watergate est sans conteste le plus calamiteux pour l'image de la fonction, même si la guerre d'Irak de Bush II ne semble pas loin de le détrôner dans ce funeste palmarès. Ainsi la présidence de George W. Bush matérialise peut-être plus que toute autre la faillite de l'institution à se prémunir des affronts d'hommes qui ont personnalisé l'exercice du pouvoir à l'extrême et qui l'ont enfoncée dans une médiocrité dont elle ne semble guère pouvoir ressortir indemne, même si certains éléments permettent toutefois de conserver un relatif optimisme
Never has the American president been regarded with such fascination and deep suspicion. His personality, performance, and to a lesser extent, the influence of the first lady, are the many elements that play an important role in the way people perceive the chief of state. The media's coverage of the president results from the unique relationship he establishes with journalists and his ability to master the bully pulpit. However, if the influence of the press cannot be challenged, its power is sometimes overestimated. Kennedy's rise to power establishes the triumph of image as a perennial feature of American society, notably due to the fact that television became a common means of communication during his tenure. While the presidency under Kennedy was an object of deference, the misdeeds of his successors have spawned profound distrust and cynicism among the American people. Indeed, the image of politicians is tarnished but primarily the image of he who represents the supreme authority. Kennedy embodies a turning point between two eras : a time period that praised presidential greatness and another that has removed the sacred aura surrounding the presidency. The Vietnam War led abuse of a presidency which had become imperial, and put an end to the golden age of the institution, not to mention the sufferings it engendered. Although, the Watergate scandal was and remains the most damaging event for the image of the president, the Iraq War during the Bush Administration nearly surpasses Nixon's disreputable standing. Indeed the presidency of George W. Bush has struck a devastating blow at the institution and has compounded the collapse of trust in government that had begun with the deeply traumatic episodes of Vietnam and Watergate. Nevertheless in spite of this gloomy picture some elements enable us to remain optimistic

Full text

Abstract:

This article examines the role of epideictic rhetoric as a tool for promoting civic virtue in the public realm through the application of Kenneth Burke's theory of identification and John Dewey's explanation of an aesthetic experience. Long the jurisdiction of Aristotle's logical arguments, civic discussion usually works within the realm of forensic or deliberative persuasion. However, scholarship in the last fifty years suggests there is an unexplored dimension of Aristotle's discussion of epideictic and emotion that needs to be examined in an attempt to identify its usefulness as a tool for examining human experience and practical behavior in the political realm. I attempt to add to the discussion by exploring the presidential funerals of Abraham Lincoln, John F. Kennedy, and Ronald Reagan as opportunities for a nation to display a hero's virtues as extensions of society's virtues. Virtues often define what a nation considers good which, in turn, influences the nature of the discussion and often determines political action.

Abstract:

This thesis – Shooting the President: Screen Depictions of the American Presidency from John F. Kennedy to Josiah Bartlet – examines the depiction of the presidency in American film and television from 1960 until the present day. In this study I explore the relationships between the presidency and Hollywood, particularly in the context of genre structures. I examine the constructions of specific presidential mythologies based on the real presidencies of Kennedy, Nixon and Clinton and the construction of fictional presidencies in the television series The West Wing. In four sets of case studies, I will chart the changing significance of each president through different genres, looking particularly at how each presidential mythology is affected by the anxieties and fashions of the contemporary political and social world. I also examine the ways in which the appearance of presidentiality is created within each text by various means including set design, the choice of actor, the use of dialogue and the framing of particular characters. The aims of my thesis are to demonstrate how a telegenic style of politics formed during and after the Kennedy presidency can be seen to be both represented and enhanced in genre films and television series. I chart the relationship of this new mediated style of presidency through my case studies as it faces challenges such as Watergate, Clinton’s sex scandals and the terrorist attacks of September 11 2001. Finally, I aim to demonstrate through a close reading of the latter seasons of The West Wing how the American public can be seen to be prepared by its popular media for the success of the first black president, Barack Obama.

Abstract:

Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited
The maintenance of an aircraft carrier's tanks and voids has a direct impact on ship operability and service life. The scheduling of inspections and repair work for these tanks and voids poses a significant problem for the carrier maintenance community. This thesis contributes to refining strategy in the repair planning process by providing the framework for building comprehensive tank and void database files. To demonstrate this, repair history files are constructed for USS John F. Kennedy (CV 67) and USS Enterprise (CVN 65). These files consolidate tank and void repair documentation from the myriad of carrier maintenance agencies and comprise the most complete database for these ships. A simliar database can be developed for all the carriers by duplicating this effort. A life cycle analysis of the data reveals that paint coating failure rates are more srmilar among tanks and voids on the same ship rather than among tanks of the same flinctional type. A case study for CV-67 examines model accuracy and predicts the expected number of coating failures at a filture maintenance period. The lessons learned in this thesis directly supports a follow on study of the JP-5 tanks on the Nimitz class aircraft carriers.

Full text

Abstract:

The retention of sailors is paramount to the viability of the United States Navy. While numerous aspects, including pay, benefits, family issues, etc., factor into the decision of each sailor to leave the Navy, job satisfaction is one of the most important. This study examines the extent job satisfaction played in sailors' decisions to leave after their initial enlistment. The Navy's own survey instrument was utilized to gather the data from sailors who were separating from the U.S.S. John F. Kennedy (CV-67) at the end of their first enlistment contract. The survey questions were broken down into three general areas: Job Satisfaction, Pay and Benefits, and Quality of Life, to measure the level of satisfaction within each of these areas. The relationship between gender, martial status and ethnic group were key components in analyzing each of the key areas. The results of these findings are reviewed and discussed.

Full text

Abstract:

Uppsatsens syfte var att undersöka samspelet mellan porträttör och beställare i porträttets fält. Med hjälp av tre fallstudier med porträtt från tre olika tidsepoker har samspelet analyserats. De tre fallstudierna är Alexanders Roslins porträtt av Fredrik Sparre, Richard Avedons porträtt av Jacqueline och John F Kennedy och skolfotografens porträtt av eleven. Bourdieus sociologiska terminologi och betraktelsesätt har till viss del använts för att försöka förstå detta samspel. Man skulle kunna tro att ett porträtt skapas på ungefär samma vis varje gång men de olika porträttens historier i den här uppsatsen skiljer sig markant åt. Även om de olika

porträttörerna och de olika beställarna har haft olika syften med porträtten, och även om de olika fallstudierna är tagna från olika tidsepoker har gemensamma nämnare för alla tre studier framkommit. Det intressanta är att se att det finns bredvidaktörer som har stor betydelse för färdigställandet av porträtten. Porträttör och beställare verkar inte ensamma i fältet utan fler aktörer påverkar processen från idé till färdigt porträtt. Bredvidaktörer som utmärkte sig är i Roslins fall Greve de Cauylus, i Avedons fall Jacqueline Kennedy och i kolfotografens fall rektorn. Det är aktörer som är med i hela processen, från idé till färdigt porträtt. Porträttörens frihet i skapandeprocessen är i alla tre fall begränsad. Det visade sig snart att friheten var begränsad i alla tre fallstudier och av olika skäl. I Roslins fall var konkurrensen om uppdragen stenhård. Hans framgång med porträttet på Sparre berodde på hans förmåga att lyssna in och anpassa sig till betydelsefulla personer i porträttets fält. Avedon hade en stark längtan till att skapa porträtt med djupare innebörd, men kände att han inte lyckats med detta i porträttet på

Kennedys. Friheten begränsades av tidsbristen samt John F Kennedys motvilja att posera stillasittande. Skolfotografens frihet begränsas av strikta regler från företaget hur porträttet ska se ut och skolans snäva tidsram och normer.

Résumé: Cette thèse analyse le discours du marketing politique américain. Pour cela, nous considerons la média comme le lieu d¿énonciation et nous nous centrons sur la mystification du président John Fritzgerald Kennedy, bien que sur le dévelopement du discours américain, qui a mystifié la nation américaine comme héroïne depuis le Destin Manifest de 1630. Ce discours, par conséquence, construit et mantient l¿hégémonie américaine. Le corpus a été formé à partir du discours du marketing politique américain de la Guerre Froide, de 1946 à 1963, qui travaille l¿image de John F. Kennedy, et à partir du discours des débats entre Kennedy et Nixon en 1960, étant donné qu¿il s¿agit des premiers débats télevisées entre deux candidats à président. L¿analyse est centrée surtout sur le discours à propos de Kennedy que le discours du président lui-même. La base théorique est celle de l¿école française d¿Analyse de Discours, centrée surtout sur les oeuvres de Michel Pêcheux. Cette thèse est divisée en trois chapitres. Il s¿agit, dans le premier chapitre, de la présentation d¿une analyse du discours fondateur américain et du contexte immédiat du discours de la Guerre Froide; le second chapitre est dedié au marketing politique et montre notre réflexion à propos du marketing lui-même et du marketing politique américain ; le troisième chapitre discute le rôle de la média tel que le lieu de l¿énonciation de ce discours, et analyse aussi les débats de Kennedy et Nixon. La thèse conclut que l¿image de John F. Kennedy a rempli les necessités d¿un commandement politique prêt à présenter le discours de la modernité au commencement des années 1960s
Resumo: Este estudo apresenta uma reflexão sobre o discurso do Marketing Político americano da Guerra Fria centrada na mistificação da imagem do presidente John Fritzgerald Kennedy e na mídia como lugar de enunciação, a partir dos dispositivos teóricos da Análise de Discurso de escola francesa. A definição deste objeto de estudo se deu a partir de um longo percurso, no qual buscamos compreender o discurso fundador americano desde o processo de colonização da América, para discutirmos como funciona a própria discursividade americana no processo de heroicização e mistificação da nação, como uma marca mitologizada do discurso imperialista americano que constrói e preserva a própria hegemonia americana. O corpus analisado é constituído pelo discurso do Marketing Político americano da Guerra Fria, que trabalhou a imagem de John F. Kennedy de 1946 a 1963 e que teve a mídia como um dos seus principais lugares de enunciação. Concentramo-nos muito mais nos discursos sobre Kennedy que no discurso de Kennedy, bem como no discurso que fala do país e do povo. Complementa a análise deste estudo uma leitura do retorno à imagem mistificada e mitificada de Kennedy nos discursos do Marketing Político americano e brasileiro. Para cumprir o objetivo deste estudo, observamos a discursividade americana e as circunstâncias de enunciação constitutivas do discurso do Marketing Político americano da Guerra Fria; refletimos sobre funcionamento do discurso do Marketing Político a partir da própria ideologia de marketing, bem como sobre o Marketing Político americano do século XX; discutimos a mídia na sua relação com o Marketing Político e como enunciadora do discurso do Marketing Político. Ao final, analisamos o discurso dos debates políticos entre John F. Kennedy e Richard Nixon em 1960, na medida em que esses debates são entendidos como precursores desse tipo de programação em momentos eleitorais. Assim, a partir de uma reflexão sobre a imagem mistificada e mitificada de John F. Kennedy, do seu discurso, dos discursos sobre ele, sobre o povo americano e sobre os Estados Unidos, enunciados de diferentes lugares de enunciação e por diferentes enunciadores, concluímos que o discurso fundador americano legitima o sujeito americano a pensar-se ¿escolhido por Deus¿, conforme define o primeiro enunciado do documento Destino Manifesto de 1630. Esse lugar de enunciação concretiza o discurso maniqueísta que sustenta toda discursividade americana que, no processo de conflito político entre o bloco socialista-comunista e o bloco capitalista representados pelas duas potencias mundiais, URSS e USA, respectivamente, deu origem ao discurso da Guerra Fria. Este percurso permite-nos compreender que a imagem mistificada de John F. Kennedy serviu aos propósitos do discurso do Marketing Político americano da Guerra Fria como efeito de retórica, na medida em que sua imagem preencheu a necessidade de uma liderança política pronta a inaugurar o discurso da modernidade que se fazia necessário no início dos anos 60

Abstract:

The Cuban Missile Crisis has been considered by political scientists and historians as one of the most critical point in U.S. – Soviet relations during the Cold War and probably the only case of the possibility of the nuclear exchange was on highest level. The Cuban Missile Crisis was considered to be a part of continued political game of the ideological struggle between the leaders of United States and Soviet Union. However, the fact of the existence of Soviet nuclear missiles in Cuba created situation for U.S. government to decide what course of actions should be taken and not escalate a further confrontation, which could lead to a mutual nuclear exchange. The suggestions to such course of actions were coming from different members of the Executive Committee of the National Council or EXCOMM, which did make impact on U.S. president’s decision making in relation to Soviet installation of nuclear missiles in Cuba in October 1962. The focus of this study relied on outcome of the decisions taken on secret meetings within the Executive Committee of the National Security Council or EXCOMM (included U.S. president as member of this committee) during the Cuban Missile Crisis in October 1962. The results of this study show if inter – and intragroup conflicts within EXCOOM made such impact on decision making outcome.

Scholars identify the early 1960s as the moment when Americans rediscovered poverty – as the time when Presidents, policymakers, and the public shifted their attention away from celebrating the affluence of the 1950s and toward directly helping poor people within the culture of poverty through major federal programs such as the Peace Corps and Job Corps. This dissertation argues that this moment should not be viewed as a rediscovery of poverty by Americans. Rather, it should be viewed as a paradigm shift that conceptually unified the understanding of both foreign and domestic privation within the concept of a culture of poverty. A culture of poverty equally hindered poor people all around the world, resulting in widespread illiteracy in India and juvenile delinquency in Indianapolis. Policymakers defined poverty less by employment rate or location (rural poverty in Ghana versus inner-city poverty in New York) and more by the cultural values of the poor people (apathy toward change, disdain for education, lack of planning for the future, and desire for immediate gratification). In a sense, the poor person who lived in the Philippines and the one who lived in Philadelphia became one. They suffered from the same cultural limitations and could be helped through the same remedy. There were not just similarities between programs to alleviate poverty in either the Third World or America; the two became one in the mid-1960s. Makers of policy in the War on Poverty understood all poverty around the world as identical and approached it with the same remedy. President John Kennedy inspired the paradigm shift. After reading about the culture of poverty in Dwight Macdonald’s review of Michael Harrington’s book The Other America: Poverty in the United States, Kennedy began to bring together experts within a new mentality to discuss a program to end poverty. The experts had been working for separate programs that focused on seemingly disparate issues—juvenile delinquency, poverty in New England, and Third World development—but they now realized that they were all working on the same problem, namely, the culture of poverty. The understanding that cultural values created poverty led them to unify their programs and approaches as they created the War on Poverty in 1964. The discovery was not the beginning of national attention on poverty but a culmination that brought together prominent people, ideas, and programs already in existence within a new paradigm.

Abstract:

Les conceptions erronees heritees des experiences passees ont toujours cours dans le domaine de la protection sociale aux etats-unis. Avec les dispositions adoptees de 1961 a 1968 apparaissent de nouvelles difficultes qui s'ajoutent aux anciennes. Dans ces conditions, l'efficacite de l'assistance sociale americaine se trouve serieusement compromise. De graves deficiences existent aussi bien dans l'organisation spectaculaire de l'office des chances economiques de 1964 que dans les structures plus anciennes de l'assistance traditionnelle. Elles resident a la fois dans les principes et dans la legislation qui regissent tout le dispositif d'assistance des etats-unis. Il est possible d'expliquer cet etat de choses de la facon suivante. Souvent, la nouvelle legislation ne constitue, pour des raisons variees (politiques, socio-economiques, etc. ), qu'un replatrage de l'ancienne. Resultat: les defauts de construction subsistent. Dans d'autres cas, pour parer au plus presse, des mesures ont ete echaffaudees trop rapidement sur des fondations legislatives peu sures. Ou bien encore, surtout en ce qui concerne l'assistance traditionnelle, on a simplement neglige de consolider les bases et de reformuler les principes. De ce fait, si certaines causes de la pauvrete sont effectivement combattues, elles le sont au gre des circonstances, de facon empirique, et les resultats enregistres, souvent limites, risquent d'etre sans lendemain. Malgre les declarations officielles, bien des problemes en apparence resolus ne sont en realite que camoufles. Finalement, une question se pose inevitablement: pourquoi ces negligences, ces omissions, ces erreurs, ces demi-mesures? c'est a l'origine meme du systeme, dans le domaine des principes et du droit, que des reformes profondes devront etre effectuees si les etats-unis veulent vraiment remporter la victoire dans "la guerre contre la pauvrete"
The purpose of the research has been 1) to study the historical causes which led to the situation prevalent in 1961-68 as well as the extent of poverty in the united states; 2) to examine in depth the war on poverty declared by president kennedy and pursued by president johnson, and to explore the scope and nature of the law applicable to the poor within the constitution, primarily as that law is found in welfare codes, statutes, ordinances, programs and administrations, and to report the efforts being made by the federal, state and local governments to assist the poor; 3) to provide a critical review of the rules and procedures, doctrines and presuppositions of the law applicable to the poor within the framework of the economic opportunity act of 1964. Suggestions for improving existing systems of assistance and for entirely new ones have also been discussed

Abstract:

A MATTER OF NATIONAL CONCERN examines the Kennedy Administration’s contribution to the restoration of public education in Prince Edward County, Virginia, and determines if those actions support the dominant narrative of Kennedy’s overall civil rights record – a historical assessment generally generated from a few acute crises. For five consecutive years (1959-1964), in defiance of federal court orders, the county board of supervisors refused to levy taxes to operate public schools, marking Prince Edward County as the only locale in the nation without free public education. The county leadership organized a segregated private school system for the 1,400 white children, but afforded no formal education for the 1,700 African American students. The Kennedy Administration inherited the Prince Edward County school situation – a crisis that threatened to cripple a generation, and, if replicated, destroy public education. In the Prince Edward County school dilemma, the Kennedy Administration took proactive measures, proved sympathetic to the plight of African Americans, challenged Virginia’s congressional delegation, and appointed federal judges that supported President Kennedy’s civil rights agenda. The Prince Edward County story generally, and the federal government’s actions specifically, have been virtually overlooked by historians. A MATTER OF NATIONAL CONCERN challenges scholars to re-evaluate the Kennedy Administration’s civil rights record by including all of the civil rights events of the Kennedy years, thus developing a thorough, comprehensive assessment. A MATTER OF NATIONAL CONCERN is the product of the study of unpublished archival documents, oral histories, interviews, newspaper reports, and secondary sources. This work was created using Microsoft Word 2003.

Abstract:

La obesidad infantil es un importante problema de salud pública mundial, por su prevalencia y disminución de calidad de vida, transformándose en un factor de riesgo importante de morbimortalidad por enfermedad cardiovascular en la edad adulta. En el Perú, una de las principales causas de mortalidad cardiovascular en adultos y la creciente incidencia en niños y adolescentes se encuentra asociada al Síndrome Metabólico (SM), relacionada a factores de riesgo como obesidad, resistencia insulínica, hipertensión y dislipidemias. Por esta razón nos propusimos determinar la presencia de SM en niños y adolescentes escolares de 8 a 17 años de edad. Se estudió una población de 100 alumnos, 55 del género femenino y 45 del masculino, de dos (2) Instituciones Educativas de la zona Salamanca-Valdiviezo-Olimpo del distrito de Ate-Lima. La metodología del presente estudio estimó realizar pruebas antropométricas (peso, talla, circunferencia de la cintura, IMC), medición de la presión arterial y pruebas bioquímicas para determinar valores séricos de colesterol, HDL, LDL, triglicéridos y glucosa. Para la determinación del Síndrome Metabólico se utilizó la tabla de Must y col. en referencia al Índice de Masa Corporal (IMC) con los siguientes criterios diagnósticos: Sobrepeso, de p85 a p95 (percentil), Obeso, > p95 (percentil); además se utilizó las recomendaciones de Cook. y col. que establece: déficit de Colesterol HDL : < = 40 mg/dL, Colesterol LDL elevados : > = 110 mg/dL, Triglicéridos elevados : > = 110 mg/dL; Glucosa elevada (en ayunas) : > = 110 mg/dL y Presión Arterial elevada (Hipertensión) : > = p90 (percentil). La presencia de tres o más factores en la población estudiada indicaría la existencia de Síndrome Metabólico. De acuerdo a los resultados obtenidos, el 6 % de la población estudiada presentó síndrome Metabólico, encontrándose una mayor frecuencia entre los alumnos de 12 a 17 años de edad (83,3 %) y de 8 a 11 años (16,7 %), todos ellos del género masculino quienes presentaron como factor principal la obesidad (34 %), Colesterol HDL (31 %), Triglicéridos (11 %) y Presión Arterial (9 %), en ningún caso se presentó hiperglicemia.
