Mobility And Economy Of The Evenkis In Eastern Siberia, Karl Mertens
Mobility And Economy Of The Evenkis In Eastern Siberia, Karl Mertens
Boise State University Theses and Dissertations
Mobility is an aspect of human activity that is highly contextual but also in need of a framework for comparative analysis through time and space. This thesis examines Evenki mobility patterns and how these patterns relate to the economic practices of hunting, fishing, and reindeer herding, and utilizes a framework for considering mobility cross-culturally. The Evenkis are an indigenous minority living throughout central and eastern Siberia in the Russian Federation. In the fall and winter of 2011/2012, fieldwork among two groups of Evenkis documented patterns of resource use, foraging, and mobility. One group lives in a village and disperses to …
Currere As A Method For Critical Reflection In The Profession Of Academic Librarianship, Richard A. Stoddart
Currere As A Method For Critical Reflection In The Profession Of Academic Librarianship, Richard A. Stoddart
Boise State University Theses and Dissertations
Academic librarianship has an intimate association with narratives and stories from their traditional role in curating, caring for, and making collections accessible. Librarians also experience the intricacies and challenges of narrative inquiry through the qualitative research they undertake, oral histories they gather, reflective teaching practices they facilitate, and oral-traditions they interact with. Despite these intersections with reflection and narratives, academic librarianship, and library sciences as a whole, have not fully incorporated their own narratives within their practices. Academic librarianship has the ability but not the spaces to critically reflect in a holistic manner. Shadiow (2013) encourages us all to “recall, …
Meet Me Monday: Case Study On A Community Health Program Through The Lens Of The Elaboration Likelihood Model, Joshua Schlaich
Meet Me Monday: Case Study On A Community Health Program Through The Lens Of The Elaboration Likelihood Model, Joshua Schlaich
Boise State University Theses and Dissertations
This case study employs the Elaboration Likelihood Model as a framework for understanding one Idaho/Oregon Health System's community health program and weekly walking event. Meet Me Monday, a program started in 2013 due to many organizational and federal goals to improve patient population and community health, has been perceived to have struggled with influencing increased and sustained participation. This study focuses on the communicative efforts of the Meet Me Monday community health program, and looks to gain a fuller understanding of the influences and moderating variables to participation.
Utilizing data sources such as semi-structured interviews with program organizers, surveying of …
A Structurational Approach To Organizational Change: Exploring Idaho’S Students Come First Initiative, Matthew Aaron Mccarter
A Structurational Approach To Organizational Change: Exploring Idaho’S Students Come First Initiative, Matthew Aaron Mccarter
Boise State University Theses and Dissertations
This study embraces a structuration approach to explore how the staff at the Idaho State Education Agency (SEA) reacted to implementing a unique and sweeping K-12 education reform package commonly known as “Students Come First.” By embracing a communicative perspective to studying change in public education, this study provides insights to how public sector employees at an SEA who work in a field governed by a unique set of features (politically-driven policies from elected officials and outcome expectations from the electorate), and who are driven by a passion to serve children engaged in changes that challenged their everyday understandings of …
Approaching Communication With Marx: On The Symbolic Reproduction Of Social Relations, Shannon K. Jacobs
Approaching Communication With Marx: On The Symbolic Reproduction Of Social Relations, Shannon K. Jacobs
Boise State University Theses and Dissertations
This critical examination approaches communication with Marx to uncover the implications of the symbolic reproduction of social relations. The social reproduction of the past is characterized through an onset of parallel themes that run with depictions of the experience of people. Marxist inspired critical research illustrates the perpetuation of the internalization and normalization of ideological principles of the social sphere. Significance emerges from the dialectical questioning of the values and principles of the social. Overall, this collective reflection demonstrates the importance of the critical aspect in the current discussion of the dynamics of the social sphere.
Local Ecological Knowledge And Chronic Disease In The Fort Mcdermitt Paiute-Shoshone Tribe, Mark S. Beil
Local Ecological Knowledge And Chronic Disease In The Fort Mcdermitt Paiute-Shoshone Tribe, Mark S. Beil
Boise State University Theses and Dissertations
The relationship between chronic disease and traditional knowledge is little understood within indigenous populations of North America. I hypothesize that individuals with higher levels of local ecological knowledge (LEK) will observe lower frequencies of chronic disease and better health outcomes. Health data will be compared to LEK within a subsample (n=31) of individuals residing within the Fort McDermitt Paiute-Shoshone Reservation in Nevada and Oregon. Individual level health data on diabetes mellitus (type 2), pre-diabetes, BMI, chronic heart disease, and hypertension is measured directly by the investigator or self-reported. LEK level data is taken from expert interviews, subject interviews, surveys, and …
Reassessing The Use Of Kelly’S Mobility Index In Examining Late Archaic Assemblage Variability In Southern Idaho, Shawn Elizabeth Roberts
Reassessing The Use Of Kelly’S Mobility Index In Examining Late Archaic Assemblage Variability In Southern Idaho, Shawn Elizabeth Roberts
Boise State University Theses and Dissertations
During the past two decades North American archaeologists have attempted to document levels of prehistoric aboriginal mobility. Robert Kelly has developed a fourteen variable index for assessing mobility based upon the technological organization of chipped stone assemblages. Each variable has a binary outcome of high or low residential mobility reflecting Lewis Binford’s expedient versus curated technologies. Kelly’s index has been used to individually evaluate levels mobility of a number of Late Holocene age sites in southwestern Idaho. This thesis reanalyzes seven previously assessed sites as well as sixteen additional Late Holocene/Archaic open site assemblages along the Snake River in southern …
Police Response Time To Domestic Violence Calls And Its Effects, Brittney Thorndyke
Police Response Time To Domestic Violence Calls And Its Effects, Brittney Thorndyke
Boise State University Theses and Dissertations
In 2011, the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence stated that 1.3 million individuals are victims of domestic violence (DV) every year. This staggering statistic uncovers just how relevant the issue of domestic violence is in the United States. Research has been relatively silent concerning the examination of police officer response time to DV calls for assistance. Response time is important to all calls for service, but is extremely important in domestic violence calls where victims run the risk of physical injury.
This study found that response time did not have a significant effect on whether the offender was present on-scene …
Does Geography Matter? Barriers Encountered By Service Providers, Amanda Goodson
Does Geography Matter? Barriers Encountered By Service Providers, Amanda Goodson
Boise State University Theses and Dissertations
Through the professionalization of victim services, research has focused on the barriers that victims of crime face when seeking services. In addition, academics have addressed the unique challenges that arise for victims in rural communities. However, very little research has examined the barriers that arise in service provision. Furthermore, few researchers have explored the relationship between the geographic location of a provider and the types of barriers that are encountered. This study attempts to address this gap in research by examining 117 surveys which were completed by service agencies dispersed throughout a Northwestern state. Quantitative analyses were conducted and results …
Predicting College Women Rowers’ Motivation And Persistence: A Self-Determination Theory Approach, Audrey Coon
Predicting College Women Rowers’ Motivation And Persistence: A Self-Determination Theory Approach, Audrey Coon
Boise State University Theses and Dissertations
Collegiate women’s rowing has evidenced unprecedented growth in the past three decades. With an average roster of 50.2 athletes, women’s “crew” has been an attractive sport for colleges and universities to add to their program offerings and achieve compliance with Title IX. To satisfy the increased demand for female athletes, college rowing teams often recruit athletes with no previous rowing experience (i.e., “true novices”). Unfortunately, many programs experience significant attrition within their novice and varsity rowing rosters each season. Thus, while Title IX has been successful in affording opportunities for women rowers, the present study sought to determine the factors …
Police Response To Children Present At Domestic Violence Incidents, Danielle Darlene Swerin
Police Response To Children Present At Domestic Violence Incidents, Danielle Darlene Swerin
Boise State University Theses and Dissertations
Police response to domestic violence incidents has continued to change and expand in the past several decades. Although domestic violence was originally considered a private matter not warranting police intervention, it now represents one of the most common calls for service received by police agencies. While police intervention in domestic violence incidents has improved substantially, response to children present remains an undeveloped area of research and practice. The present study examined 345 police reports from an agency in the Northwest in order to explore police response to domestic violence incidents and specifically their response to children. Similar to results from …
