You Can Breastfeed But . . . : A Rhetorical Analysis Of Images And Commentary On Breastfeeding, Jonna Ziniel
You Can Breastfeed But . . . : A Rhetorical Analysis Of Images And Commentary On Breastfeeding, Jonna Ziniel
Dissertations
This dissertation is a study of breastfeeding images and the commentary about those images, from a rhetorical perspective. Specifically, I use a feminist lens in order to analyze images of breastfeeding in both magazine and online environments, as well as online commentary about the images. I examine both celebrity and non-celebrity images of breastfeeding from popular pregnancy and parenting magazines, non-traditional parenting magazines, company web sites, and online articles and blog sites. Chapter one presents a statement of purpose, research questions, and an examination of the current literature pertinent to the study including sections on breastfeeding benefits, the sexualized woman's …

Pedagogical And Cultural Phenomena Of On-Demand Writing Instruction, Deborah L. Bell
Pedagogical And Cultural Phenomena Of On-Demand Writing Instruction, Deborah L. Bell
Dissertations
In 1985, 66 school districts filed a suit against the Kentucky Department of Education accusing the system of inequitable spending practices. In 1990, the Supreme Court declared the entire educational program unconstitutional, resulting in the Kentucky Education Reform Act or KERA. This new reform movement brought a plethora of changes to school districts across the state including its mode of assessment. KERA introduced new avenues of measuring student progress using writing as the main vehicle to assess content and communication skills. Unfortunately, the majority of Kentucky's high schools showed little improvement in this tested area with only 34% of high …
Evidence Of Anxiety: Women's Agency And Engagement Law In American Literature And Film, 1880-1935, Carl Nicholas Bloom
Evidence Of Anxiety: Women's Agency And Engagement Law In American Literature And Film, 1880-1935, Carl Nicholas Bloom
Dissertations
During the end of the nineteenth century, breach of promise laws, which had protected unmarried but engaged women for centuries during their vulnerable engagement period, began to come under public scrutiny. The demonization of this legal protection coincided with increased legal agency in other areas of married life for women, but in most historical and critical discussions of this era, breach of promise, also nicknamed Heartbalm, has been overlooked, and the purpose of this dissertation is to examine canonical and non-canonical literature from this period and recontextualize these works in light of breach of promise's historical impact on courting and …
Attitudes Of Teaching Faculty Toward Inclusive Teaching Strategies At A Midwestern University, Bryan Dallas
Attitudes Of Teaching Faculty Toward Inclusive Teaching Strategies At A Midwestern University, Bryan Dallas
Dissertations
This study measured postsecondary faculty attitudes toward academic accommodations and an inclusive teaching method called Universal Design for Instruction (UDI). The purpose of the study was to help determine a readiness for change among faculty with regard to implementing UDI principles, compare differences between faculty groups, as well as add to the postsecondary UDI research agenda. UDI requires faculty instructional design and has the potential to reduce the need for individualized academic accommodations and increase the retention and graduation rates of students with disabilities. The study included an online survey e-mailed to 1,621 faculty at Southern Illinois University Carbondale (SIUC). …

Discovering Aristotle: An Examination Of His Life And The Development Of His Immutable Brilliance, Timothy H. Sparling
Discovering Aristotle: An Examination Of His Life And The Development Of His Immutable Brilliance, Timothy H. Sparling
Honors Theses
A synoptic piece which addresses the life of Aristotle and analyzes the development of his philosophical thought, Discovering Aristotle: An Examination of his Life and the Development of his Immutable Brilliance reviews multiple facets of this thinker's being, ranging from his genealogy to his pedagogical and theoretical contributions, and serves as a standard of measurement through which his vast works may be studied, thus granting his "exoteric" or early works with a certain preponderance in the text itself. Additionally, a respectable number of appendices, which are extremely relevant to Aristotle's world, are also included in the work; these provide the …
Network Coevolution And Democracy: A Spatial Econometric Approach, Aya Kachi
Network Coevolution And Democracy: A Spatial Econometric Approach, Aya Kachi
Working Papers
Regime transitions are contagious according to the diffusion-of-democracy literature: a country's regime is affected by others' through various predefined networks (e.g. geographical proximity), as well as by the country's own political, economic and social attributes (e.g. GDP levels). My account departs from the existing diffusion theory by allowing for countries' self-selection into peer regime networks based on their democracy levels in the past. For example, a country can form stronger dependency ties with countries that demonstrated similar democracy levels in the past (homophily). In the longitudinal setting, the traditional diffusion mechanism with the presence of self-selection generates the "co-evolutionary dynamic" …

Scaling In Surface Hydrology: Progress And Challenges, Pierre Gentine, Tara J. Troy, Benjamin R. Lintner, Kirsten L. Findell
Scaling In Surface Hydrology: Progress And Challenges, Pierre Gentine, Tara J. Troy, Benjamin R. Lintner, Kirsten L. Findell
Journal of Contemporary Water Research and Education
This paper presents a review of the challenges in spatial and temporal scales in surface hydrology. Fundamental issues and gaps in our understanding of hydrologic scaling are highlighted and shown to limit predictive skill, with heterogeneities, nonlinearities, and non-local transport processes among the most significant difficulties faced in scaling. The discrepancy between the physical process scale and the measurement scale has played a major role in restricting the development of theories, for example, relating observational scales to scales of climate and weather models. Progress in our knowledge of scaling in hydrology requires systematic determination of critical scales and scale invariance …
Rural Community Perspectives On Preparedness And Adaptation To Climate-Change And Demographic Pressure, Laura Mayagoitia, Brian Hurd, Jose Rivera, Steve Guldan
Rural Community Perspectives On Preparedness And Adaptation To Climate-Change And Demographic Pressure, Laura Mayagoitia, Brian Hurd, Jose Rivera, Steve Guldan
Journal of Contemporary Water Research and Education
This study investigates local-scale adaptation and long-run capacity building in acequia communities in Northern New Mexico, where there is a long record of resilience and adaptive capacity spanning more than four centuries. These communities may be particularly vulnerable to current stresses from population growth, changing community composition, and projections of water scarcity that are expected to accompany long-run climatic changes. This paper uses a survey approach to explore factors and community characteristics that contribute to community adaptation, the level and extent of community preparedness, and the preferred community actions to cope with stresses and disturbances. Key findings suggest that land …

Intranational Cooperation And Conflict Over Freshwater: Examples From The Western United States, Nathan T. Eidem, Kristel J. Fesler, Aaron T. Wolf
Journal of Contemporary Water Research and Education
From the Klamath basin in the Pacific Northwest to the Jordan basin in the Middle East, water conflicts can be disruptive, and affect a wide range of stakeholders, often with varying interests. As competition between water users and water use sectors increases, the potential for conflict increases, especially when governing institutions differ ( Jarvis et al. 2005 ). However, research has shown that cooperation is more prevalent than conflict in international river basins ( Wolf 1998 ; Wolf et al. 2003 ). As the demand for water approaches or meets available supply, intranational conflicts may increase ( Postel and Wolf …

Advancing online technologies have traditional legacy media scrambling to generate consistent revenue streams in the digital space. Even though online and mobile technologies encourage publishers to develop new content for the web there are inherent challenges to adapting tactile non digital formats into ones and zeros. Furthermore, the digital space has yet to define a specific business model applicable for all online media. Presenting current trends in digital publishing of comic books as well as traditional media, this document defines emerging online business models and case examples of consumer purchase incentives. The defined business models and literature provide a guided …

Pbs And The Young Adult Viewer, Tamara Cherisse John
Research Papers
Attracting and retaining teenage and young adult viewers has been a major challenge for most broadcasters. This study evaluates the perception of the U.S. Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) among young adults between the ages of 18 and 35. The objectives of this study were to examine whether or not PBS appeals to young adults between the ages of 18 and 35, the perception of the young adult viewer by media managers within a local PBS station, and to study efforts made locally and nationally to reach young adult viewers. A survey of 180 participants and interviews with five media managers …
