College Women And The Occurrence Of Unwanted Sexual Advances In Public Drinking Settings: A Feminist Routine Activities Approach, Abby Mccoll Johnson

College of Graduate Studies: Theses & Dissertations

Using existing data from the 1999 Harvard School of Public Health College Alcohol Study, this thesis analyzes the social predictors of unwanted sexual advances experienced by college women and where this type of victimization occurs. Hypotheses were derived from routine activities theory and feminist theory. Findings show that attendance at bars has a more significant effect on experiences of unwanted sexual advances than attendance at parties, attendance at drink promotions, and participation in drinking games. Increased alcohol consumption at bars has a signifcant effect on unwanted sexual advances. The analysis also reveals that alcohol abstention at parties has a significant …

Forbidden Fruit: Dryden's The State Of Innocence And Fall Of Man, An Operatic Version Of Paradise Lost, Devane King Middleton

College of Graduate Studies: Theses & Dissertations

Ever since Dryden published his opera The state of innocence, critics have speculated about his reasons for making a stage adaptation of Milton's Paradise lost. The fact that Dryden worked for Milton in Cromwell's government may have been a factor. Dryden's Puritan indoctrination during childhood, followed by influences from a royalist schoolmaster in his teenage years, makes the answer to the question somewhat more complex, as does the fact that the play, its source a Puritan epic adapted by an Anglican royalist poet, is dedicated to the Catholic bride of James, Duke of York and brother to Charles II. Throughout …

Age Effects On Social And Investigative Behaviors In A Closed Population Of African Elephants, Christen Eileen Merte

College of Graduate Studies: Theses & Dissertations

In this study of African elephants (Loxodonta africana), I examined two competing hypotheses to explain the development of social and reproductive behaviors. The reproductive hypothesis states that behaviors change around the time when an individual begins successfully reproducing, while the social dominance hypothesis states that behaviors change throughout the life of an individual, reflective of changes in social rank. These hypotheses were explored in male and female elephants during the entry to a signal-rich waterhole and in female African elephants across seasons. Chemosensory and social behaviors were recorded in Addo Elephant National Park between May 2004 and June 2005 using …

Nurse Practitioners In Burn Centers: An Exploration Of The Developing Role, Trisha Ann Myers

College of Graduate Studies: Theses & Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to explore job satisfaction, barriers to practice, roles, and collaboration among nurse practitioners (NPs) choosing to practice in the environment of caring for burned patients. Exploration and identification of the role of NPs practicing among this unique population may benefit patients, and the burn community, when the expertise of the NP is added to a greater multi-disciplinary team. Two data collection instruments were utilized to measure the criterion variable job satisfaction: The Misener Nurse Practitioner Job Satisfaction Scale and a semi-structured telephone interview. Study participants consisted of 24 NPs employed in 16 burn centers …

Playground For The Imagination, B. Darlene Miller

College of Graduate Studies: Theses & Dissertations

Over the past years, my work has been based on a desire to depict the spiritual and physiological interdependence humans have with the wetland ecosystem. As I examine the shapes of trees and their roots through rubbings, paintings, and sculpture, I sought to express this interaction between humans and nature. My artwork metamorphosed from the traditionally separated forms of painting and sculpture into an environment. The transformation of natural materials into manufactured products led me to cultivate a deeper understanding of ecology, where humans are participants in the natural process of the life cycle. Nature becomes the primary subject and …

Right Reverend Stephen Elliott: Political Influence And The Protestant Episcopal Church In Georgia, 1840-1866, Paulette S. Thompson

College of Graduate Studies: Theses & Dissertations

By the late 1840's, the South's religious and political convictions upheld slaveholders' social and economic views. These convictions permeated worship services in Georgia via the ministries. At the onset of the Civil War, spirituality provided an essential source of Southern strength in both victory and defeat. As fortitude subsided, religion also played a prodigious role in perpetuating the Confederate experience. For a generation, its theology had endorsed the South's social arrangement, asserted the morality of slavery, expunged Southern sins, and recruited the populace as God's devout guardians of the institution. Sustained by the belief that they were God's chosen people, …

Georgia Public School Superintendency: An Exploration Of The Profession, Tina Mychele Swain

College of Graduate Studies: Theses & Dissertations

During the study, the researcher investigated the overall characteristics of the Georgia public school superintendency. The school superintendent has many functions, but all of these functions are to achieve one primary goal: the best possible educational environment for all children. Demands that are now being placed on school superintendents require them to create conditions in which all students can increase achievement, while creating these conditions with fewer and fewer resources. The superintendent constantly seeks consensus between the board, staff, and the community to make the best educational decisions for all students. The superintendent is a leader in the true sense, …
