Traditional medicine in rural China and the southern United States: an exploratory study

Sun, Qi 01 July 1989 (has links)
This study compared the differences and similarities of the traditional remedies, the biochemical values of traditional remedies for hypertension, and the characteristics of the theories of traditional medicine between rural China and the rural southern United States. The data for rural China were collected from three popular medical books published by Chinese government and a periodical of Henan Province, China. The data for the rural southern United States were previously collected through Life History Interviews on 234 older blacks living in six southern states of the United States during 1978-1980. The original study of older blacks in the southern United States was carried out by The National Center on Black Aged under a grant from the Administration on Aging for a study of ways of meeting the needs of older blacks. The comparison of traditional remedies for hypertension was focused on the differences and similarities of the action principles. Some traditional remedies used in rural China have action principles similar to those of traditional remedies used in the rural southern United States. Through analyzing the data previously collected by The Navel Treatment Research Group of The Traditional Chinese Medicine Institute in Henan 1979, the significant biochemical values of traditional remedies for hypertension were found. The comparison of the theories of traditional medicine between rural China and the rural southern United States was based on reviews of previous studies. This study provides an initial exploration of comparisons of traditional medicine between rural China and the rural southern United States. However, due to the fact that in the southern United states, data on the therapeutic effects of traditional remedies for hypertension were not explicit, the findings reported in this study are tentative. Secondly, because the comparison of the theories of traditional medicine between rural China and the rural southern United States was based on the literature reviews, the findings lack a foundation in primary data. Further research should include studies of data on the therapeutic effects multiple traditional remedies. Finally, theories of traditional medicine of China and the southern United States should be compared in detail, including their different histories, cultures, and ecological-botanical contexts. In this thesis, eating medicine means taking medicine.

Stroman, Carolyn Alma 01 August 1973 (has links)
This thesis reveals the research done on the black family in the United States from 1939, the publication date of Frazier's The Negro Family in the United States, to 1972. An examination of the major bibliographical guide. to the literature produced forty-four periodical article and fourteen books published on the black family. Descriptive annotations were provided for both the periodicals and the books. A critical analysis was also done for each of the books. The major conclusion that can be drawn from this thesis is that the literature indicates that scholars have continually failed to provide substantive information upon which to develop working theories to guide productive research.

An examination of characteristics of students participating in an undergraduate honors program

Taggart, James Eugene, Jr. 01 July 1990 (has links)
This thesis focused upon an examination of the characteristics of students participating in an undergraduate honors program. Demographic and socioeconomic information, along with questions pertaining to the respondents' perception of the honors program, obtainability of reference standards from participating in the program, perception of self-worth, and parental influence were examined to determine specific characteristics which promote undergraduate student's participation in the university's honors program. The sample consisted of 15 males and 52 females participants. All participants lived on campus and were between the ages of 17 and 23. The findings of this study indicate that both male and female participants in the honors program represent a homogeneous group in regards to perception of the honors program, obtainability of reference standards from being associated with the honors program, and internal direction. Moreover, paternal support was found to be significant in influencing the respondents' who came from dual parental backgrounds to attend college however, those respondent's who came from single parent households were uncertain or disagreed with paternal support.
