Albert R. Cunningham; PITTSBURGH UNIV PA
|
 | Within the past several years, hypotheses have been put forth suggesting that a portion of the incidence of breast cancers may be caused or modulated by environmental agents (Davis et al., 1993). Specifically, environmental agents that either mimic endogenous estrogens or interfere with their metabolism or function have been implicated as etiological agents of breast cancer. Collectively, these chemicals have become known as "xenohormones" ... |

| The purpose of this thesis is to examine civil-military relations in Guatemala and their effect on democratic consolidation. The issue of civil- military relations in Guatemala is one of particular importance as political and military leaders as well as members of civil society attempt to redefine the role of the military after 36 years of civil war. Applying Felipe Aguero's theory of civilian supremacy, this thesis argues that since 1982, ... |

| The US military has a clear track record of how it has defined what is right and wrong behavior for its members. From military law to doctrine, regulations, and policies, the military establishment has exhibited and employed a relatively stable moral value system to maintain good order and discipline. Conversely, American society has become more attuned to the rights of individuals. Contemporary society encourages members of its diverse population to ... |

| Military basic training is a major transition period for most recruits, and it occurs at a time when the typical l7-to-20 year old recruit is in an important personality development phase. Therefore, attitudes and behaviors instilled during this transition from civilian to sailor or marine may influence the individual's behavior during his or her military service and in civilian society after leaving the service. Given that more than 100,000 young ... |

| Iran is aggressively pursuing nuclear, biological, and chemical (NBC) weapons, ballistic missiles and other means of delivery and its use of NBC will be particularly difficult to deter. The possibility of deterrence failing is significant. Predictions that Iran shares the Western perspectives on NBC use or that it would employ NBC weapons strictly as weapons of last resort may be dangerously misleading.

However, because the regime was unprepared for any substantial transfer of power, the electoral victory of the Islamic Salvation Front (FIS) led to a military coup, and a civil war pitting radical Islamists against a authoritarian regime. Algeria's conflict has ... |

| This essay studies the representation of soldiers in eighteenth- century English novels. The emergence of the standing army (formally begun in 1670) and the creation of a new military profession in British society challenged older concepts of masculine identity and power. The challenges that the professionalization of the soldier posed were the source of anxiety and concern in the novelists of the early to mid eighteenth century, and these anxieties ... |
