Transatlantic Intimacies: The Homoerotic Affect Worlds Of Nineteenth-Century Print Culture, Melissa R. Pompili

Master's Theses and Doctoral Dissertations

The thesis argues that during the late-nineteenth century, an alternative means of same-sex erotic communication was conceived of in transatlantically published American and British künstlerroman novels written by female authors. This alternative discourse was communicated affectively to initiated readers by way of metaphorical descriptions of painting, music, accompanying illustrations, and photography, and these novels all participate in the work of moving non-normative sexuality into the public sphere at the turn of the century. Through readings of works by Kate Chopin, Julia Magruder, and Amy Levy, the thesis explores the ways that these affective interactions were constructed, and the manner in …

The Lived Experience Of African American Nurses Who Attended Predominantly White University Baccalaureate Programs: Characteristics Of Success And Resilience, Carmen A. Stokes

Master's Theses and Doctoral Dissertations

This qualitative dissertation explores the lived experiences of successful African-American nurses who attended baccalaureate programs at predominantly White universities (PWUs). Only 5.4% of the national registered nurse workforce is identified as African American; yet African-American citizens account for approximately 12.9% of the United States' population, and 24% of all enrollments in nursing programs nationwide is composed of African-American students. Past nursing education research has almost exclusively focused on the deficits of African-American students. This dissertation study focuses on a gap in the literature because it addresses the strengths and attributes of those African-American students who succeed, thereby contributing to an …

Perceptions Of Clinical Research Coordinators About The Quality Of Monitoring And Major Failings/Concerns In The Monitoring Process, Praveen Krishna Movva

Master's Theses and Doctoral Dissertations

The primary goals of clinical research monitoring are to assure adequate protection of the rights of human subjects, and the safety of all subjects involved in clinical investigations or clinical trials, and the quality and integrity of the data generated from clinical trials. Adequate monitoring of clinical trials can prevent the occurrence of significant problems, which may affect the entire process of bringing a new drug to market. The proper monitoring of clinical trials is a challenge. In spite of well established regulations and guidance, there remain many monitoring related concerns in clinical trials (e.g. protocol deviations and violations, IRB …

An Exploration Of Preservice Teachers' Multicultural Self-Efficacy And Awareness Of White Privilege, Angela Paige Jefferson

Master's Theses and Doctoral Dissertations

Currently, in the United States there is incongruence between student demographics in public schools and the characteristics of American K-12 teachers. More specifically, there are growing numbers of students of color, while the majority of teachers are White, middle-class females. Given the increasing pluralism in U.S. schools, it is imperative that teachers have multicultural self-efficacy as well as an awareness of White privilege in order to be prepared to teach in a culturally competent manner. Educators and students must be prepared to live and work effectively in a social system as well as a global environment where they will need …

An Examination Of Elementary School Leadership Seen Through The Lens Of Complexity Theory, Carole L. Benedict

Master's Theses and Doctoral Dissertations

The knowledge era has been described as a time when new information will be developing through a lens of globalization and technology. Many organizational theorists are thinking of leadership that abandons age-old bureaucratic practices and enables the organization to meet its goals. Through the lens of complexity theory, schools are seen as organizations that are constantly adapting to environmental change. Leadership for such organizations is seen as moving away from command and control and toward democratic, person-centered relational styles. The primary goals for this research were to identify the leader behaviors of elementary school principals who effectively lead for change …

Transcultural Self-Efficacy Of Nursing Education Leaders And Faculty Related To Non-Binary Sexual Identities, Grace Hoyer

Master's Theses and Doctoral Dissertations

Higher nursing education has demonstrated effective modalities in leadership, practice, and health policy (Antrobus & Kitson, 1999). However, advancement in understanding populations of non-binary sexual identities need further recognition in nursing academic education, within both faculty and administration realms.

This study is about transcultural efficacy (TSE), an essential component of nursing education and leadership, as it relates to aspects of non-binary sexual identities. Non-binary sexual identities include groups and individuals identified publicly or personally outside the binary (male/female), majority group of heterosexuals. This group may include but is not limited by the titles of gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered, queer, genderqueer, …

The Impact Of A Memory Box Activity On Relationships Between Residents Of A Long Term Care Facility And The Staff, Camilla Reynolds

Senior Honors Theses and Projects

When working in a residential facility it is difficult for staff to take the time to really get to know whom they are helping due to time constraints. This study conducted a pre and post test to determine the impact that a Memory Box Activity has on staff attitudes about the residents. The Memory Box is a box put together by residents (with staff help) that includes items that have meaning to them. The presumption was that by participating in this activity with the residents the staff attitudes would be positively impacted. This study was conducted at two local long-term …
