Preservation And Use Of Natural Resources In The Developing World: A Case Study Of The Can Gio Biosphere Reserve, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, Emily Green
Occam's Razor
Developing nations often overlook the environmental effects of industrialization. However, these nations need healthy, sustainable resources in order to become prosperous and stable countries. Additionally, developed nations depend upon the natural resources of developing nations as raw materials. Loss of natural resources in developing nations therefore has effects at both national and global levels. A key challenge across the globe is balancing the human need for development with the necessity of the sustainable use and protection of natural resources. In the process of finding this balance, developing nations are revising both their national definition of conservation as well as the …

Bivalve Growth-Stages As A Measure Of Harvesting Intensity: Application On The Southern Northwest Coast, Shona D. (Shona Dejeanne) Pierce
Bivalve Growth-Stages As A Measure Of Harvesting Intensity: Application On The Southern Northwest Coast, Shona D. (Shona Dejeanne) Pierce
WWU Graduate School Collection
Prehistoric settlements along the Pacific Northwest Coast have produced some of the clearest records for study on human subsistence use, such as harvesting practices (Butler 2000; Cannon et al. 2008; Croes 1992; Moss 1993; Wesson 1988). The archaeological and ethnographic records in this region have produced artifacts and oral accounts that have led scientists to logical conclusions about specific types of subsistence use. In turn, subsistence use data can tell us many things about a society, including population size, longevity of settlement and site function. Intensities in subsistence practices can also show whether an area was used as a long-term, …
Foča Bosnia-Herzegovina: Presentations Of Identity In Survivor Narratives And Testimony, Francesca Leaf
Foča Bosnia-Herzegovina: Presentations Of Identity In Survivor Narratives And Testimony, Francesca Leaf
WWU Graduate School Collection
In April of 1992 the Foča municipality of Bosnia-Herzegovina was taken over by the ultranationalist Bosnian Serb, Serb and Montenegrin forces. As part of a larger strategy of genocide, the ultranationalist forces systematically raped and sexually abused the Bosniak girls and women of Foča. The systematic rapes perpetrated in the Foča municipality are representative of the larger pattern of rape during the 1992-1995 genocide in Bosnia-Herzegovina. The use of rape as a tactical force of war in the Foča municipality garnered international media attention; resulting in a wealth of literature, interviews with survivors and the International Criminal Tribunal for the …
Engaging And Empowering Students In The Culture Of Higher Education: A "Native" Analysis Of Students' Experiences In The Teaching-Learning Academy, Megan M. (Megan Michelle) Otis
Engaging And Empowering Students In The Culture Of Higher Education: A "Native" Analysis Of Students' Experiences In The Teaching-Learning Academy, Megan M. (Megan Michelle) Otis
WWU Graduate School Collection
There is a marked climate of concern over the quality of teaching and learning in the culture of higher education. In the 1980s, The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching conducted a national survey and found that most faculty members felt strained by the competing priorities of teaching and research, which at times negatively impacted their performance in the classroom and their relationship with students. Carnegie addressed this problem by spearheading a reform movement to study and enhance teaching and learning in the university classroom, a growing body of literature known today as the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning …
Delayed Diagnoses In The Spectrum Of Gluten-Averse Conditions, Crystal L. (Crystal Leigh) Maki
Delayed Diagnoses In The Spectrum Of Gluten-Averse Conditions, Crystal L. (Crystal Leigh) Maki
WWU Graduate School Collection
Celiac Disease (CD), gluten allergy (GA), and non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) represent a highly varied disease grouping that affects individuals to varying degrees in response to the ingestion of certain cereal proteins (wheat, barley, rye, and sometimes oats). Generally, epidemiologic data on food allergy and intolerance is severely lacking; given current trends of under-diagnosis, prevalence of overt CD alone is estimated at 1-2% of European populations. There is a large and growing body of scientific literature that ascribes the complexity of various gluten-sensitive symptomology to multiple developmental pathways. This complexity translates largely in to delayed clinical diagnosis by medical professionals. …
Moving Like A Kid Again : An Analysis Of Parkour As Free-Form Adult Play, Margaret E. Kelley
Moving Like A Kid Again : An Analysis Of Parkour As Free-Form Adult Play, Margaret E. Kelley
WWU Graduate School Collection
Parkour is a sport that developed in France in the late 1980s that is described as "the art of movement." The objective of the participant is to choose a route of their own making, from an arbitrary Point A to Point B, and move through that route as efficiently as possible, overcoming any obstacles that are along the way. As of 2011, Parkour has become an international pastime, with practitioners, called "traceurs," participating all over the world. This thesis proposes that Parkour is a form of play, specifically locomotor play. The movements that make up this type of play are …
Thinking Outside The Boxes: Barriers To Inclusion For Persons With Physical Impairments In Higher Education, Robert T. (Robert Timothy) Wunschel
Thinking Outside The Boxes: Barriers To Inclusion For Persons With Physical Impairments In Higher Education, Robert T. (Robert Timothy) Wunschel
WWU Graduate School Collection
Since passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act in 1990 the participation rate of students with physical impairments in higher education has remained static or declined. Though a number of potential issues have been identified most research tends to focus on classrooms, building interiors, and technology rather than exterior landscapes and fiscal policies that treat all students the same way. Most studies have also lacked theoretical rigor, relying instead on models of disability and statistics to explain their data, rather than on an extensive body of community based, multidisciplinary studies employing urban theories of space and place. Using space and …
