Social Media And The Future Of U.S. Presidential Campaigning, Annie S. Hwang
CMC Senior Theses
The new technological mediums of each era, such as the radio in the 1920s and 30s, television in the 1950s and 60s, and today’s Internet and social media platforms, allow presidential candidates the opportunity to control their messaging and the potential to reach a greater audience than ever before. Candidates today are increasingly using social media and the Internet as a vital campaign source for spreading information, raising money, and rallying voters. Whether social media will measure into offline votes and political influence is yet to be seen, but presidential candidates who quickly recognize the potential of the latest technologies …

An Assault On Liberty: The 2012 National Defense Authorization Act And The Indefinite Military Detention Of Us Citizens Without Charge Or Trial, Matthew M. D'Angelo
Political Science
In the wake of 9/11 the U.S. Government has passed a host of counter-terrorism laws that provide the Executive Branch and the President of the United States frightening levels of authority. The Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Terrorists of 2001 (AUMF) and the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 (NDAA) include provisions or have been interpreted to allow the President to indefinitely detain terrorism suspects in military custody without charge or trial. This includes the potential application of these laws to American citizens. This thesis will analyze these statutes and relevant jurisprudence on the subject of …

Potential Of Marine Bacteria As A Source Of New Biofilm Formation Inhibiting Compounds, Jane Lee Han
Potential Of Marine Bacteria As A Source Of New Biofilm Formation Inhibiting Compounds, Jane Lee Han
UNF Undergraduate Capstone Projects and Honors Theses
New antibacterial drugs are needed to keep up with the alarming increase in infections and incidence. Historically, the majority of clinically useful drugs have been obtained from terrestrial natural sources such as plants and microorganisms. Today such terrestrial sources of drugs are diminishing, owing to rediscovery of known compounds. Fortunately marine microorganisms are in an emerging and underdeveloped source of novel compounds with promising pharmaceutical potential.
Death By Religion? Individual Differences In Attitudes About Capital Punishment, Heather Johnston
Death By Religion? Individual Differences In Attitudes About Capital Punishment, Heather Johnston
UNF Undergraduate Capstone Projects and Honors Theses
There is evidence that a relationship between religiosity (intrinsic, extrinsic, indiscriminately pro-religious or indiscriminately anti-religious orientation toward one’s religious beliefs) and differences in attitudes about life and death social issues exists. Mainstream religions (e.g., Catholic and Protestant) have officially stated opposition to capital punishment while most individuals who are part of these mainstream religions favor capital punishment. In this study, 150 college students completed two different measures of religiosity and one measure of attitudes about capital punishment. Participant’s scores on two measures of religiosity were predictive of attitudes toward capital punishment. Intrinsically oriented individuals indicated more than extrinsically oriented individuals …

Jacksonville's Greatest Generation: The Contribution Of African American Veterans To The Civil Rights Movement 1945-1960, Bryan Arch Wayne Higham
UNF Undergraduate Capstone Projects and Honors Theses
This research explores the role of returning African American veterans in the Civil Rights Movement in Jacksonville from 1945-1960. Black World War II veterans not only faced the typical challenges of returning to civilian life, but took up the fight for equality as well. While this work acknowledges existing arguments about black veterans in the Civil Rights Movement, it emphasizes and analyzes the importance of their military benefits and experience. African American soldiers received training in various fields like combat, supply, and intelligence. This training translated into useful skills in the postwar period. The experiences of black soldiers while overseas …
Examination Of Problem-Solving Related Metacognitions And Worry In An American Sample, Jennifer Jacobson
Examination Of Problem-Solving Related Metacognitions And Worry In An American Sample, Jennifer Jacobson
UNF Undergraduate Capstone Projects and Honors Theses
Problem-solving metacognitions, including responsibility to continue to think about a problem and a low confidence in problem-solving, have been hypothesized to be associated with pathological worry; however, these metacognitive variables have received surprisingly little attention in the research literature. As a result, the purpose of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of the Problem-Solving Related Metacognitions Questionnaire (PSRMCQ), translated to English from Japanese. A sample of 241 non-referred college students completed the PSRMCQ, along with a measure of worry symptoms and a measure of other commonly examined metacognitions. The PSRMCQ measure was found to exhibit strong internal consistency. …
