The Forum Committee and Graduate Student Senate would like to congratulate the following students for their outstanding presentations at the James F. Jakobsen Graduate Forum 2001:

HUMANITIES:

Top presenter: Sara Kimble
Department: History
title: "Feminism and the Law in Modern France, 1897-1938"
Abstract: Two generation before Simone de Beauvoir published The Second Sex, a group of French feminist lawyers made history during the first substantive flowering of feminism in France that began in the 1890s. Feminists of this era believed that women would be granted equal citizenship rights only if they lobbied the legislature, pushed for legal reforms, and changed the assumptions about the nature of women. At the time, anti-feminists discouraged women from joining the legal profession by insisting that women were too weak for the job, lacked motivation, had too many familial responsibilities, and would soon quit. In this paper, I argue that the first generation of female lawyers used their professional opportunities to promote feminist social and legal change. This paper is defined chronologically at one end by the first legislative efforts by female lawyers to change womenÍs civil rights in 1897; and at the other by the completion of an extra-parliamentary commissionÍs project to reform womenÍs status in the Napoleonic Code in 1938. In the course of their professional work, feminist lawyers made political arguments in courtrooms even when the cases were unrelated to womenÍs rights to have their ideas repeated in the press. A pioneering group of female lawyers drafted legislation, wrote newspaper articles addressing womenÍs legal inquiries, lectured throughout the country, sponsored legal aid societies, and published popular legal manuals. Drawing on these and other historical sources we can reconstruct how feminist lawyers used the courts to disseminate legal knowledge, defend womenÍs existing rights, and advocate for new laws long before they were granted equal rights.

LIFE SCIENCES:

Top presenter: Jennifer Edwards,
Department: Microbiology

title: "Expression of Complement Receptor Type 2 (CR3) by Primary Human Cervical Cells Mediates Neisseria Gonorrhoeae-induced Membrane Ruffling and Cellular Invasion"
Abstract: Experimental infections of primary ecto- and endocervical cell cultures have shown that Neisseria gonorrhoeae engages this receptor, initiates ruffling, and invades these cells. CHO and myeloid cells transfected with CR3 can inhibit adherence to and invasion of these transformed cells. A cervical biopsy from a woman with gonorrhea demonstrated co-localization of N. gonorrhoeae with CR3. Collectively, these data indicate that N. gonorrhoeae engagement of CR3 induces membrane ruffling and is an important step in the pathogenesis of gonococcal infection of the cervix.

Department: Statistics
title: "Pricing Equity-Indexed Annuities Embedded with Exotic Options"
Abstract: Sales of equity-indexed annuities (EIAs) have rapidly increased since the first offering in 1995, but the growth rates in salves have recently shown signs of slowing down because the current volatile equity market increases the costs of guarantees in EIAs and hence decreases the participation rates. New EIAs with higher participation rates need to be designed that are similar to the existing EIAs such as point-to-point, annual reset and lookback but have a cheaper guarantee. This paper proposes three types of EIAs with higher participation rates: barrier EIAs, annual reset EIAs, with barrier, and lookback EIAs with partial-time maximum. It also presents several probability distributions and the method of Esscher transforms, with which explicit pricing formulas for these EIAs are derived.

SOCIAL SCIENCES:

Top presenter: Patricia Hardre Department: Instructional Design and Technology title: "Learning Climates that Foster Engagement, to Prevent Motivational Dropout"
Abstract: Using self-determination theory, I tested a motivational model to explain the conditions under which rural students formulate their intentions to drop out of high school. The model proposes that the intention to drop out is as much a motivation issue as it is an achievement issue and that motivation can be either supported in the classroom by autonomy-supportive teachers or frustrated by controlling teachers. LISREL analyses of questionnaire data from 483 rural high school students showed that the provision of autonomy-supportive classrooms predicted students' self-determined motivation and perceived competence. These motivational resources, in turn, predicted students' intentions to drop out, and they did so even after controlling for the effect of poor achievement. Based on these findings, we conclude that rural high school students' intentions to drop out emerge at least as much from poor motivation as they do from poor achievement. The discussion offers motivation-based intervention strategies for preventing dropout.

First Place
Angela Balcita (English - Nonfiction Writing) Moonface and Charlie
In Moonface and Charlie, we meet a narrator who is dealing with a kidney disease that takes over her life, that dictates her emotions and her mental and physical strength. She receives life-saving transplants from her brother and her boyfriend that make her feel forever dependent on others. To counteract these feelings of helplessness and dependence, she uses comedic performance and story-telling to make her feel like she has control over her situation. But she learns that while making tragedy into comedy not only give her a sense of control of her life, it also prevents her from confronting reality. How do we tell the stories of our lives? How do we use story-telling and performance to hide our real emotions? How do these acts also reveal our true selves? How do the stories of our experiences define us and ultimately change the experience itself?

Elizabeth Sutton, Art History "Naer het Leven" and the Emergence of Science: The Prints of Jan Huygen van Linschoten’s Itinerario and Vesalius’ De Humani Corporis Fabrica
Andreas Vesalius and Jan Huygen van Linschoten are names associated with discoveries. Vesalius is known for his observations of human anatomy, and Linschoten is known for documenting his travels to unkown places. Vesalius published De Humani Corporis Fabrica in Brussels in 1543. Only a little more than fifty years later, Linschoten’s Itinerario was published in Amsterdam (1596). Both books included prints to illustrate the descriptive texts. Vesalius’ anatomical treatise and its images were well-known in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The growing interest in scientific inquiry was reflected in the travel accounts that explorers and merchants wrote and published when they returned from their journeys. Both of these new genres were based on observation and visual and textual description. It is my intent to discuss the stylistic, functional, and ideological relationships between the prints in Vesalius’ medical manual and the images in Linschoten’s travel account of his journey to the East Indies.

First Place
Brandon Abbs, Psychology Is Overt Repetition Critical to Word Learning?
To what extent can language learners acquire new words through mere exposure to word-referent pairings? In two experiments, participants were exposed to pairings of novel auditory word forms (the names) and pictures of novel objects (the referents). During this study phase, participants either (a) repeated the names, (b) did not repeat the names, or (c) did not repeat the names, but performed an attention-demanding task. Participants were tested for receptive learning (picking out the correct referent when cued with the name) and expressive learning (producing the correct name when cued with the referent). The first experiment showed that overt repetition was necessary for long-term retention of expressive but not receptive learning. The second experiment extended these findings to four-syllable nonwords where repetition was found to be detrimental, not beneficial, to expressive word learning. Clinical and educational implications for these findings will are discussed.

Yongming Zhao, Clinical and Administrative Pharmacy Factors Influencing Pre-ESRD Anemia Treatment with Erythropoietin in Elderly Hemodialysis Patients
Most elderly patients with chronic kidney disease progress to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) with anemia untreated even though guidelines advocate anemia treatment with human recombinant erythropoietin (EPO). The objective was to identify factors affecting pre-ESRD anemia treatment defined as EPO treatment in the year prior to hemodialysis initiation among elderly patients. A cross-sectional study was performed with a study population aged 67+ years and initiating hemodialysis in the years 1996-1999. Only 12.18% of elderly patients took EPO treatment at least once in the year before the start of hemodialysis. There was significant variation in pre-ESRD EPO treatment rates across local areas. Multiple logistic regressions indicated patients living in an area close to a nephrologist had a significantly higher likelihood of receiving pre-ESRD EPO therapy. Patients access to local nephrologists may play an important role in determining pre-ESRD EPO therapy in elderly hemodialysis patients

Yi-Ching Lee, Mechanical and Industrial Engineering Change detection performance under divided attention with dynamic driving scenarios
This research examined the effects of in-vehicle tasks on drivers visual attention. Degraded visual attention may contribute to looked-but-failed-to-see crashes associated with the cognitive demands performing non-driving tasks, such as cell phone conversations. The experiment was conducted in a fixed-based driving simulator, with a dynamic change blindness paradigm, which simulated glancing away from the roadway by periodically blanking the driver's view for one second. Participants were then asked to detect location and appearance changes of other vehicles. Cognitive demand was manipulated with messages that participants needed to listen and respond to. Participants were less sensitive to vehicle changes when the screen was blanking, suggesting that visual attention was impaired because of the disruption of the continuous information acquisition. The cognitive demand further undermined drivers ability to detect changes. These results show that cognitive demand and glancing away from the roadway both contribute to looked-but-failed-to-see crashes.
