Charge Nurse Orientation, Angela Zafke
Charge Nurse Orientation, Angela Zafke
Nursing Capstones
Traditional undergraduate training focuses heavily on clinical skills with minimal emphasis on leadership. In practice, a nurse with clinical prowess is often promoted to the charge nurse position. Taking on the leadership role of a charge nurse can be a stressful experience without proper training and preparation that leads to burnout and turnover. With more experienced nurses facing retirement, now is the time to prepare future nursing leaders. This starts with adequately preparing a nurse to lead within the unit in the charge nurse role. A comprehensive literature review was conducted regarding charge nurse orientation. Charge nurse competencies were not …
Community Needs Assessment Of Somali Refugees’ Mental Health Needs, Sheila Stadstad
Community Needs Assessment Of Somali Refugees’ Mental Health Needs, Sheila Stadstad
Social Work Independent Study Projects (ISP)
Within the Somali immigrant and refugee community there are severe stigma and negative associations regarding both experiencing mental health problems and pursuing services for those problems. According to research, both process and content adaptation must be made in providing mental health supports to Somali immigrants and refugees. Understanding the experiences and prominent needs of Somali refugees will assist social workers in offering mental health services that are culturally responsive and help social workers promote social justice through examining and addressing health disparity issues. This independent study project reviews the literature on the mental health needs of immigrants and refugees and …
The Phonology Of Mbati, Sarah Gloria Lepage
The Phonology Of Mbati, Sarah Gloria Lepage
Theses and Dissertations
This description of the phonology of Mbati/Isongo (C13) (mdn) of CAR is based on a word-list recorded by native Mbati speakers. A description of nominal and verbal morphology is included as a foundation for discussing morphophonemic processes. Only open syllables and consonant-glide clusters are allowed. Alveolar and velar plosives are affricated or palatalized before the high front vowel. Prenasalized consonants act as phonological units, rather than clusters. Mid-vowels within noun roots harmonize according to the feature [ATR]. [−ATR]-dominated vowel assimilation occurs within verb stems. Vowel hiatus is resolved by glide formation, diphthong formation, elision, and epenthesis, depending on the vowels …
The Vowels Of Urban Qatari Arabic, Mark Daniel Shockley
The Vowels Of Urban Qatari Arabic, Mark Daniel Shockley
Theses and Dissertations
Urban Qatari Arabic is a variety of Gulf Arabic [afb] spoken by Qataris with traditionally sedentary tribal backgrounds. This study examines phonetic and phonological aspects of Urban Qatari Arabic vowels using acoustic phonetic data gathered in Qatar. A new phonemic vowel inventory is proposed, including five long vowels and two short vowels. This finding contradicts published studies on Gulf Arabic, which include three or more short vowels; however, it is not unexpected when studies are compared from nearby Arabic varieties. The vowel inventory is also investigated using four linear mixed-effects regression models. In Gulf Arabic, variation in short vowel backness …

Perception And Production Of Nanning Mandarin Fourth Tone, Julie Flaming
Perception And Production Of Nanning Mandarin Fourth Tone, Julie Flaming
Theses and Dissertations
Local varieties of Mandarin Chinese have been underdocumented. This study focuses on Mandarin high falling fourth tone (T4), as pronounced in connected speech by four female speakers native to Nanning City and its surrounding areas, in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. Surface forms of T4 and the high level tone (T1) often exhibit minimal difference, most likely due to the strong Cantonese influence in the area. I compare the pronunciation of T4 in multiple environments to the predictions about Standard Mandarin T4 surface forms in those same positions. Nanning T4 is flatter overall than Standard Mandarin T4 in all positions, with …
Belief In Pure Evil As A Trait Predictor Of Harsh Judgments Of Perpetrator Attributes, Victoria Charlotte Mary-Rose Pocknell
Belief In Pure Evil As A Trait Predictor Of Harsh Judgments Of Perpetrator Attributes, Victoria Charlotte Mary-Rose Pocknell
Theses and Dissertations
Humans look for a quick and comforting explanation for why bad things happen. One popular explanation is to believe good and evil are active forces affecting people and events. Past research suggests belief in evil is associated with harsher judgments and less prosocial behavior. However, little research has explored what factors influence the development of a belief in evil or its effects in an experimental setting. Using a national sample of Amazon MTurk respondents (N = 511), participants completed a series of potential developmental antecedent measures (e.g. personality domains, religiosity, etc.) and viewed a video vignette of a crime with …

Distinguishing Passive From Mp2-Marked Middle In Koine Greek, Andrew Charles Lamicela
Distinguishing Passive From Mp2-Marked Middle In Koine Greek, Andrew Charles Lamicela
Theses and Dissertations
This thesis seeks to answer the question, How can one determine whether an MP2-marked (traditionally “passive”) verb in Koine Greek is semantically passive or middle? MP2-marked verbs in the New Testament and Septuagint were analyzed in order to determine what factors indicate passive or middle in each case. This thesis argues that both lexical and contextual factors play a role in the determination. Lexical factors include whether the verb has agent-oriented components of meaning, how likely the event is to occur spontaneously, and whether the verb tends to have a subject that is both agent and patient. Contextual factors include …
Information Structure In Soumraye (Somrai), An Eastern Chadic Language, Emily Ruthann Miller
Information Structure In Soumraye (Somrai), An Eastern Chadic Language, Emily Ruthann Miller
Theses and Dissertations
This thesis examines the information structure of Soumraye, also known as Somrai (common alternative spelling: Soumray; ISO: SOR; autonym: Chibne, Chibné or Shibne), a largely unstudied Eastern Chadic (Afro-Asiatic) language of Central Chad (Eberhard et al. 2020). Analysis is based on four fiction and two non-fiction narratives as well as part of an expository text and some previously published proverbs. I primarily use a framework from Lambrecht (1994). The default information structure of Soumraye is topic-comment or presupposition-focus. The construction for marked topic, or topicalization, consists of a preposed noun phrase ending with the topicalization particle da. Da's …

Physical Therapy Management For A 16-Year Old Female Following Arthroscopic Plica Resection And Partial Synovectomy: A Case Report, Hannah Brennan
Physical Therapy Management For A 16-Year Old Female Following Arthroscopic Plica Resection And Partial Synovectomy: A Case Report, Hannah Brennan
Physical Therapy Scholarly Projects
Background and Purpose. Synovial plica is a common abnormality found primarily in the knee joint. Plicae can become irritated and inflamed with repeated motions causing pain and limited range of motion. Conservative management of symptoms is often the first method of treatment. However, surgical excision is considered if symptoms still persist.
Case Description. The patient is a 16-year-old female referred to physical therapy (PT) for post-arthroscopic management of a left plica resection and partial synovectomy. The patient presented with limited strength, range of motion and increased pain, congruent with her post-operative condition. The patient was seen by PT …

Clinical Decision-Making In A Patient With Cervical Radiculopathy And Cubital Tunnel Syndrome: Double Crush Syndrome, Taylor Nord
Physical Therapy Scholarly Projects
Background and Purpose: Double crush syndrome (DCS) is pathology involving the association between proximal and distal nerve lesions. It is often difficult to diagnose due to the variety of possible sources of tissue involvement and, therefore, is difficult to treat effectively. The purpose of this case report is to describe the physical therapy diagnosis and treatment of an older adult with DCS consisting of cervical radiculopathy (CR) and cubital tunnel syndrome (CuTS).
Case Description: 74-year-old female with a diagnosis of CR was referred to physical therapy. The physical examination confirmed this diagnosis. Due to the patient not responding well …
