O ile sekularyzacja jako proces oddzielania sacrum od profanum jest zjawiskiem pozytywnym, to ma znaczenie negatywne, gdy całkowicie eliminuje z życia element (sekularyzm). To drugie rozumienie wpływa na podejście do ludzkiego ciała, prowadząc postrzegania człowieka skomplikowanej maszyny. W rezultacie etyka oparta godności traci swoje korzenie. Brak ontologicznego wglądu w osobę ludzką stosune...

MEOLI, DINA. Interactive Electronic Textiles: Technologies, Applications, Opportunities, and Market Potential. (Under the direction of Dr. Traci May-Plumlee.) The developing area of interactive electronic textiles is generating an abundance of literature within the textile industry. Presently, researchers in this area are working toward the development of interactive touch and voice activated w...

Consumer choices affect sustainability of societal systems, and state governments increasingly are interested in environmental impacts of consumption. This article describes a Consumer Environmental Index (CEI) to track the impacts of product purchase, use, and disposal and applies this initial CEI to Washington State in the United States. CEI has modules for product and service use, upstream r...

Prawo do życia stanowi najwyższą wartość chronioną prawem, a w tym ustawodawstwem prawnokarnym. Ze względu na takie zjawiska jak aborcja i eutanazja problematyka przestępstw przeciwko życiu nie traci aktualności. Co zasady poszczególne państwa swoich ustawach karnych zawierają przepisy chroniące życie ludzkie, niemniej jednak ich katalog oraz zawartość normatywna mogą różnić się między sobą. Pr...

Advanced nutrient removal processes, while improving the water quality of the receiving water body, can also produce indirect environmental and health impacts associated with increases in usage of energy, chemicals, and other material resources. The present study evaluated three levels of treatment for nutrient removal (N and P) using 27 representative treatment process configurations. Impacts ...

While researchers go to great lengths to justify and prove theoretical links between constructs, the relationship between measurement items and constructs is often ignored. By default, the relationship between construct and item is assumed to be reflective, meaning that the measurement items Carol Saunders was the accepting senior editor for this paper. Traci Carte was the associate editor. Ron...

By YE WANG, Ph.D. Washington State University August 2008 Co-Chair: Joseph S. Valacich Co-Chair: Traci J. Hess The adoption of information systems (IS) by individuals has been a focus of IS research for years. Although initial adoption has been extensively studied by many researchers, less is known concerning users’ psychological relationship with adopted information systems, especially when al...

A Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) was undertaken to compare the potential environmental impacts associated with use of Recycled Concrete Aggregate (RCA) as a partial replacement natural aggregates in production Warm Mix Asphalt (WMA), those conventional Hot (HMA). The LCA conducted according ‘cradle-to-laid’ approach, including four pavement phases. Three percentages RCA for coarse WMA were conside...

This paper presents a computer modeling approach for monitoring fleet of mining machines based on software solution traffic modeling. Computer simulations can help reduce prototyping costs and the risk initial launch failure by analyzing tuning prototype to test most appropriate options. Using approach, we show in first part article that resulting vehicle metrics be tested during process, inste...
