NORC Social Research, 1941-1964: an Inventory of Studies And NORC SOCIAL RESEARCH 1941-1964 AN INVENTORY OF STUDIES AND PUBLICATIONS IN SOCIAL RESEARCH Edited and Annotated by JOHN M. ALLSWANG and PATRICKBOVA The National Opinion Research Center The University of Chicago 1964 PREFACE This research inventory describes the social surveys and other projects undertaken by the National Opinion Research Center from its founding in 1941 through the middle of 1964. It is hoped that the inventory will provide both a convenient summary of the types of research which NORC has engaged in, and a useful bibliography of the various publications to come from its many studies. Within nine general subject categories, the inventory is organized by study (each NORC study having been given an inventory number). For each study a brief description is given, followed by general information on the type of sample, the universe, the number of respondents, etc. The names of the sponsor(s) of each study and of the study diiector(s) are also given, as is the location of survey materials when these are elsewhere than in NORC storage (e.g., "Codes and cards at Roper Center"). For each study there is appended a list of published and unpublished materials which were based on the data of that study; occasionally this list will include publications financed by the study but using other data. All publications based in whole or in part on the study are included. For each study, we have first listed NORC reports, then published books, published articles, unpub- lished papers, and unpublished theses and dissertations, in that order. And at the end of each subject section there is an omnibus category (arbitrarily numbered as Study 99) including other pub- lications which are relevant to this subject section but which do not come from a specific study (e.g., various writings of NORC staff members). It should also be noted that many publications were actually based on data from a number of NORC studies, but are listed only once. Cross references are provided at the head of each section, and from one study to another. There are also a number of indices, each of which refers to inventory number: subject index, author and study director index, sponsor index, an index with corresponding inventory number for the included NORC study numbers and an index to studies on Me at Roper Center. Because inventory numbers were applied for each subject section in the order of standard NORC study numbers, the studies in a given section do not follow precise chronological order. Not every study undertaken by the National Opinion Research Center is included in the inven- tory, but all those which resulted in some type of publication are included, as are a number which did not but which are nonetheless significant, and whose results some users might wish to consult. The inventory is complete through June, 1964, including studies in progress at that time. Most of the publications listed in the inventory are available either in published form (in books, journals, etc.) or through NORC. Most numbers in the NORC numbered report series are available on microfilm and some of the more recent ones, in physical copies; this is noted in the iii text and the price is given. Wherever the word REPRINT follows the citation of a publication, copies are available gratis. In regard to the many other publications cited herein, wherever pag- ination is given it may be assumed that the work is available through the NORC library in Xerox copies-unless microfilm is specified-at fifteen cents per page. Consequently, most materials can be ordered direct. And almost all materials-regardless of listed availability-are on file at the NORC library for reference. Many other libraries have on deposit the numbered report series, the foreign affairs series, and Opinion News, all three of which are to be found in the Union List of Serials. A special section in the inventory is reserved for the Survey Research Service (SRS), and in- formation on the Service and its studies can be found there. There is an appendix describing Opinion News, a journal which NORC formerly published. All questions arising from the inventory should be addressed to the following: Librarian National Opinion Research Center University of Chicago 5720 S.

Air pollution. Energy poverty. Unemployment. Climate change. Volatile fossil fuel prices. The world is full of problems. When shaping the society of tomorrow, we need to deal with all these problems at the same time. The good news is that to all these problems, there’s one solution. Wind energy is clean. It’s scalable. And most importantly, it’s competitive. Today, the cost of wind energy is lower than nuclear. Lower than gas. In some cases even lower than coal. And that’s before we add the costs of pollution. In short, the answer to many of our most pressing questions is literally blowing in the wind. €/MWh 125 100 75 50 25 0 Gas Coal Solar Nuclear Wind onshore Wind Source: ECOfys/European Commission solutionwind.com #solutionwind Clean.

  • The 41St G7 Summit
    At a glance Plenary – 25 May 2015 The 41st G7 Summit On 7 and 8 June 2015, the G7 will hold its 41st summit in Bavaria, Germany. The Group will meet for the second successive year without Russia, whose membership of the G8 was suspended following its annexation of Crimea. The agenda includes issues of global interest, among them development and environmental protection. History The Group of Seven (G7) is an international forum composed of seven leading industrialised nations (Canada, France, Italy, Germany, Japan, UK and USA) plus the EU, whose heads of state or government meet yearly to discuss issues of global interest. The G7 Summit was first held in 1975, on the initiative of the French president Valéry Giscard d’Estaing and German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt. The leaders of six industrialised countries (the current members except Canada, which joined a year later) met to discuss the enormous economic and financial challenges of the day, engendered by the break-up of the Bretton Woods system (a system of fixed international exchange rates pegged to gold) in 1971 and the oil crisis in 1973. At that summit it was decided to hold meetings yearly. In the aftermath, the G7 has established itself as a leading forum in global economic and financial governance, but gradually it brought other issues of global interest into its discussions, for example security. In 1991, Russia started attending the summits, at first informally. It formally joined the group in 1997, which thus became the G8. The G7, in its old structure, made an unanticipated come-back to the international stage in 2014, when Russia, after its illegal annexation of Crimea, was suspended from participating in its activities.

  • Bartonella Spp. - a Chance to Establish One Health Concepts in Veterinary and Human Medicine Yvonne Regier1, Fiona O´Rourke1 and Volkhard A
    Regier et al. Parasites & Vectors (2016) 9:261 DOI 10.1186/s13071-016-1546-x REVIEW Open Access Bartonella spp. - a chance to establish One Health concepts in veterinary and human medicine Yvonne Regier1, Fiona O´Rourke1 and Volkhard A. J. Kempf1* Abstract Infectious diseases remain a remarkable health threat for humans and animals. In the past, the epidemiology, etiology and pathology of infectious agents affecting humans and animals have mostly been investigated in separate studies. However, it is evident, that combined approaches are needed to understand geographical distribution, transmission and infection biology of “zoonotic agents”. The genus Bartonella represents a congenial example of the synergistic benefits that can arise from such combined approaches: Bartonella spp. infect a broad variety of animals, are linked with a constantly increasing number of human diseases and are transmitted via arthropod vectors. As a result, the genus Bartonella is predestined to play a pivotal role in establishing a One Health concept combining veterinary and human medicine.

Sui Committee Members, Robert S. Bednarz Hongxing Liu Michael Neuman Head of Department, Douglas J. Sherman December 2007 Major Subject: Geography iii ABSTRACT Globalization and the Texas Metropolises: Competition and Complementarity in the Texas Urban Triangle. (December 2007) José António dos Reis Gavinha, B.A., Universidade do Porto; M.Sc., University of Toronto Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Daniel Z. Sui This dissertation examines relationships between cities, and more specifically the largest Texas cities, and the global economy. Data on headquarters location and corporation sales over a 20-year period (1984-2004) supported the hypothesis that globalization is not homogeneous, regular or unidirectional, but actually showed contrasted phases. Texas cities have been raising in global rankings, due to corporate relocations and, to lesser extent, the growth of local activities. By year 2004, Dallas and Houston ranked among the top-20 headquarters cities measured by corporation sales The Texas Urban Triangle had one of the major global concentrations of oil- and computer-related corporation headquarters; conversely, key sectors like banking, insurance and automotive were not significant.

    George Washington has departed p. 58 Importance of CUPP p. 59 In Ukraine, the ideological battle has no timetable. It seems, however, that the clock is working against the youth and NGOs in their efforts to forestall the imposition of a managed democracy. If the ruling clan succeeds in imposing a managed democracy, it will set back for decades the development in Ukraine of a normal civil society governed by the rule of law. And if Ukraine becomes like Russia or if it merges into Russia, Europe and the West will not have a reliable or stable partner in the region for much of the 21st century. It is not beyond a possibility that eventually a war will have to be fought in Europe in order to return to a stable and just society in the eastern half of the continent.

  • G7 Leaders Summit 2020: Background Paper on Themes of G7 Leaders Summits (2012-2019)
    G7 Leaders Summit 2020: Background Paper on Themes of G7 Leaders Summits (2012-2019) G7 Commitments at a Glance Gender equality and women’s empowerment are at the heart of the universal 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Sustainable Development Goals, specifically in relation to women’s economic empowerment (WEE). This WEE agenda has evolved through further engagement with governments and other key stakeholders, such as during the 2017 United Nations Commission on the Status of Women, the Secretary-General’s High-Level Panel on Women’s Economic Empowerment, the Group of 20 (G20) and the Group of 7 (G7). The G7 has articulated its WEE position in the G7 Common Principles on Women’s Entrepreneurship (2015 Elmau); G7 Guiding Principles for Building the Capacity of Women and Girls (Ise-Shima 2016); the G7 Roadmap for a Gender-Responsive Economic Environment (Taormina 2017); the Charlevoix G7 Summit Communique (Charlevoix 2018) and Paris Declaration on Gender Equality (Biarritz 2019). The G7 recognizes that women are key drivers of innovation, growth and jobs, and that the private sector plays a vital role in creating an environment in which women can more meaningfully participate in the economy. The group has set concrete targets, such as reducing the gender gap in labour force participation rates by 25% by 2025, and to increase spending on Technical Education and Vocational Training (TVET) by a third by 2030. In the last four years, the G7 countries have committed to: invest in women’s skills development and TVET; facilitate women's labour force participation, career advancement, and work life balance; stimulate women’s entrepreneurship and the growth and sustainability of women-owned businesses; and accelerate the adoption and implementation of the UN Women’s Empowerment Principles (WEPs).
