Announces decision to authorize the implementation of the Proposed Action Alternative as described in the O.M. Hubbard II Density Management Study Environmental Assessment. O.M. Hubbard II Density Management Study will occur on one unit (approximately 131 acres) of mid-seral, second-growth forest located in the Upper Umpqua 5th Field Watershed. There is an additional 97 acres of untreated, mid-seral stands and 14 acres of early-seral stands that are also part of the study but will not be harvested. Of the 131 acres of treatment, no acres will be removed for the development of spur roads. This project is within the General Forest Management Area (GFMA, 79 acres) and Riparian Reserve (52 acres) Land Use Allocations and will provide approximately 763 thousand board feet (763 MBF) of timber available for auction. Approximately 463 thousand board feet (463 MBF) of timber will come from the GFMA and 300 thousand board feet (300 MBF) will come from the Riparian Reserve land use allocations. en_US NEPA; Logging -- Oregon -- Roseburg Region Forest thinning -- Oregon -- Roseburg Region Public lands -- Oregon -- Roseburg Region O.M.

A well-known criterion to make heterogeneous welfare comparisons is Atkinson and Bourguignon’s (1987) sequential generalized Lorenz dominance (SGLD) criterion. Recently, Fleurbaey, Hagneré and Trannoy (2003) convincingly argue that it contains unreasonable household utility profiles and suggest to put (lower and upper) bounds on the needs of the different household types. First, we generalize Atkinson and Bourguignon’s SGLD criterion, by introducing lower bounds in the household utility profiles. Second, we propose a new SGLD criterion by introducing upper bounds in a similar way. Third, we impose lower and upper bounds simultaneously and obtain a criterion which is intermediate between Ebert’s (1999) equivalence scale weighted approach and Atkinson and Bourguignon’s (1987) SGLD approach. 280806 bytes application/pdf en_US University of Oregon, Dept of Economics University of Oregon Economics Department Working Papers ; 2005-6 Sequential dominance Welfare Equivalence scales On Bounded Dominance Criteria Working Paper

Implemented as one of the basic national polices of China since 1978, the one-child policy has brought both advantages and disadvantages to one-child families in urban China. This thesis explores the various consequences of current family planning practices in urban Dalian. It explains the ways in which the implementation of the policy has influenced urban one-child families' everyday life and how parents and single children handle the policy. Urban parents have accepted the state requirement for limited births and have adopted new child-rearing practices to raise their "only hope" in the changing socioeconomic context. Single children receive comprehensive parental attention and support and are widely considered as spoiled "little emperors/empresses". But at the same time they experience great pressure to perform with academic excellence in order to be capable to excel in the competition of the global market economy. Gender norms are in transition. Urban single daughters are empowered by the benefits brought by low fertility produced by the policy. As the first generation of single children grows up, their families are now confronted with the crucial issue of the "four-two-one" (four grandparents, two parents, one child) problem, which impacts the future of the one-child policy.

This study finds that a small number of primary influencers from within online communities are central to information collection, collation, and distribution in online, interest-based networks. This finding is inconsistent with one-step, two-step, and multi-step flow models, which privilege mass media as the central source of information. To more accurately depict online information flow in interest-based networks, this study introduces the radial model of information flow. Furthermore, the results of this study show that communication processes in online publics are best explained using a combination of the transmissive paradigm of communication, on which information flow models are based, and a ritual view of communication. This research also contributes to the ongoing development of the situational theory of publics by identifying organized publics as a key subgroup of active publics. Organized publics are networks of individuals within active publics who frequently and consistently communicate on a shared interest or concern. Organized publics form active online communication networks and prepare for advocacy related to a shared interest, making them of particular interest to public relations professionals. Using a case study approach, this dissertation uses online network analysis and qualitative cluster analysis to study the role of community influencers in information flow and cultural development within the online young adult cancer community. Instead of focusing exclusively on social media as channel for message dissemination, the results of this study indicate that successful relationship building can best by achieved by public relations practitioners who work to develop authentic presences in online communities. This research shows that embracing a participatory model of public relations that actively engages primary influencers in the planning and campaign implementation processes can promote authentic online presences. en_US University of Oregon All Rights Reserved.

Zack, Naomi Mendoza, Jose Mendoza, Jose 2012-12-07T23:13:24Z 2012-12-07T23:13:24Z 2012 http://hdl.handle.net/1794/12538 Recently, Christopher Heath Wellman has proposed an innovative argument that appears to resolve, at least with respect to immigration, the tension between democratic autonomy (i.e. a people's right to self-determination) and human rights (i.e. respect for individual freedom and universal equality). Wellman argues, from a traditionally liberal point of view, that a legitimate state (i.e. a state that respects human rights) is entitled to self-determination and that part of the definition of being self-determined is having the presumptive right to unilaterally control immigration. In other words, Wellman claims that a state's unilateral right to control immigration can be made compatible with liberal commitments to individual freedom and universal equality. I aim to raise a novel objection against Wellman's argument, which I hope will also challenge philosophers to think differently about the immigration issue as a whole. My position is that even if Wellman's conclusion is correct, that a state's right to self-determination can be made compatible with human rights, the presumptive right that this generates for a legitimate state to unilaterally control immigration is, at best, limited only to admission and exclusion policies (i.e. to questions about who can be let in and who can be kept out). Wellman's conclusion, however, does not hold for strategies of immigration enforcement and expulsion (i.e. to the questions about how these policies may be enforced or what sort of deportation procedures a state is justified in using). And, in fact, I argue that under Wellman's account, a legitimate state would be restricted in deploying certain strategies of immigration enforcement and expulsion. My conclusion is that with respect to immigration enforcement and expulsion strategies, the presumptive right is on the side of the immigrant and not the state. This means that if a legitimate state wishes to control immigration, it is the state who holds the burden of proof to show that not only its immigration policies but also its enforcement and expulsion strategies do not violate prior commitments to individual liberty and universal equality. This, I contend, provides a moral and political baseline justification for immigrant rights, which I refer to as a minimalist defense of immigrant rights. en_US University of Oregon All Rights Reserved.

Captured September 16, 2005. This land use plan is a public document prepared by the Planning Commission and adopted by the City Council with assistance and input from community residents. It provides long-range guidelines for decision making with regard to land use suitability. Development proposals evaluation, public utility, facility and street improvement projects, and other considerations related to community growth. This plan will be used by public bodies as the bases upon which to make community development decisions, and by business or private individuals to make investment or construction decisions. The purpose of this plan is to provide the City of Ontario an overall guidance for community land use, economic development, resource management and to provide this information in as simple a format as possible.
