Cultivating Community: Investigating Performances Of Community In Ecovillage Settlements, Alex Lockwood

Dissertations

This dissertation considers the subject of ecovillages, intentional ecologically-oriented sustainable communities developed in the U.S., and the different understandings of community involvement, structure, and challenges that members of these communities confront in their efforts at managing these time and labor-intensive settlements. Informed by the work of performance ethnographers and critical phenomenologists, I consider twelve interviews I conducted on-site and electronically with people living in ecovillage settlements. Taking these interviews and my own observations from on-site visits to two ecovillages as entry points, I conducted a phenomenological analysis informed by a critical phenomenological ethos of these accounts, highlighting five motifs that …

Decoding The Public Service Announcements (Psas) Of Hiv/Aids: Evaluating Botswana's Aids Messages And Their Impact On 15 - 24 Ages, Enole Ditsheko

Dissertations

The study is grounded in the concept of “Start where the people are” (Nyswander, 1956) which suggests that effective health campaigns that promote prevention strategies to enhance the quality of life for those targeted must be rooted in the prevalent cultural practices and religious values of the receivers of the slogans, themes, and taglines. Health campaigns that superimpose the values of the outsiders promoted as universalized solutions have limited effectiveness.

Monitoring Algal Blooms In Small Lakes Using Drones: A Case Study In Southern Illinois, Di Wu, Ruopu Li, Jia Liu, Nafeesa Khan

Journal of Contemporary Water Research and Education

Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs) persist in many water bodies around the world and pose adverse health and economic impacts to the affected communities. Small Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have recently been applied as a cost-effective tool for HABs monitoring. In this study, HABs in two small lakes in Southern Illinois (Carbondale Reservoir and the Campus Lake of Southern Illinois University) were monitored using UAVs and biomass concentrations in lake waters. By analyzing vegetation indices derived from multispectral UAV images and chlorophyll- a concentrations in the two lakes, statistical regression models were established for each waterbody. The model relates spectral characteristics …

Continuous Hydrologic Modeling Of A Parking Lot And Related Best Management Practices With Pcswmm, Robson L. Pachaly, Don Guy V.V. Biessan, Jose G. Vasconcelos, Frances C. O'Donnell, Benjamin F. Bowers

Journal of Contemporary Water Research and Education

Permeable pavements are a green infrastructure stormwater management practice that can serve as a functional component of the site design. However, previous field studies suggest high uncertainty in the parameters used for performing hydrologic calculations for permeable pavements. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Storm Water Management Model (SWMM) within the PCSWMM software package was used to simulate the hydrologic dynamics of a parking lot that is 25% covered with permeable interlocking concrete pavers in Auburn, AL. The model was calibrated to field observations of water level at two points where the pavement system outflows to a bioretention basin and rainfall …

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, And Justice In Water Dialogues: A Review And Conceptualization, Simone A. Williams, Susanna Eden, Sharon B. Megdal, Valerisa Joe-Gaddy

Journal of Contemporary Water Research and Education

In the United States, the lack of diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice (DEIJ) in water governance and management has been identified as a serious problem that affects the validity of decisions. Because water governance and management institutions, processes, and practices at all scales involve dialogue, it is important to understand DEIJ in water dialogues. This paper reports on the results of a systematic literature survey that was undertaken to guide efforts by The University of Arizona Water Resources Research Center to improve diversity and inclusion in its engagement practices and outreach strategies. Three questions are explored: 1) How is DEIJ …

Redistricting In Illinois Judicial Elections: A Once In Five Decades Event, Suzanne Schmitz

The Simon Review (Occasional Papers of the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute)

In 2021, the Illinois General Assembly for the first time in over five decades was successful in redrawing the boundaries of the districts for the election of Illinois Supreme Court and Appellate Court justices (Judicial District Act of 2021; PA 102-0011 (SB0642). Why after more than fifty years? And what is the impact of the changes? This paper explores those questions and provides some answers. It compares Illinois with the practices of other states which also elect their judges through partisan elections. The paper also raises and discusses several issues which remain about the way judicial selection is done in …

A Second Bite At The Apple: An Analysis Of In Re Jackson And Attempting To Use The Right Of Publicity As A Quasi Remedy To Copyright Preemption, Reyna Herrera

Southern Illinois University Law Journal

The Second Circuit recently decided the case of In Re Jackson, where famous rapper Curtis Jackson ("50 Cent") brought suit against William Roberts ("Rick Ross") asserting a state law right of publicity claim, involving Jackson's song "In Da Club." Currently, many circuits are divided as to whether the federal Copyright Act preempts such a claim. This note discusses the history of both the federal Copyright Act and the right of publicity, and explores past circuit court decisions regarding both laws, noting an exception many circuits chose to adopt: the commercial use exception. This note analyzes the commercial use exception …

One Step Further: Why Investing In Prison Programming And Treatment Is Key To Passing Criminal Justice Reform, Madeline Todd

Southern Illinois University Law Journal

In 2018, Congress passed the First Step Act ("FSA 2018"), which is considered one of the most applaudable efforts in modern history, aiming to reduce federal prison populations. While the Act has made progress in decreasing incarceration rates over the last few years, the pace of reform to reverse the nearly forty-year-long effect of the "War on Drugs" is slow. Past attempts, such as shortened sentences, provide a temporary solution but ultimately fail to keep the prisoner from reoffending.

A comprehensive evaluation of what produces significant results that would expedite the end of mass incarceration is timely due. This Note …

SIU Journal of Medical Science Scholarly Works

Abstract:

Nurse practitioners (NPs) and physician assistants (PAs) represent a group of non-physician, advanced-practice providers (APPs) within our healthcare system. Non-physician providers are part of an inter-disciplinary team, working alongside physicians and a variety of allied healthcare providers. The purpose of this paper is to take a closer look at these two professions (NP and PA), with a focus on Illinois providers and the legislative strategies that guide their roles and abilities to practice. Illinois is a region where APP practices are inequitably regulated. Their Nurse Practice Act outlines a broad scope of practice for Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs). …

Sunrise Haiku Project: Learning To Trust, Diana Lynn Tigerlily

Artizein: Arts and Teaching Journal

Born and raised in Illinois, I moved to the ocean during a major life transition, leaving behind the familiar: family, forest, and soil. This essay incorporates reflection, photographs, and haiku to represent sixteen months of journeying to the ocean sunrise everyday. The daily practice yielded unexpected insights, moments of deep healing, and growth. The biggest lesson for me was that no matter how thick the clouds and how strong my doubt, the sun will still rise. By witnessing the phenomenon of the sun rising everyday, I have been able to rise up through layers of self-doubt and grief, and begin …

“I Feel Like I’M More Likely To Get Triggered, I Guess?”: A Poetry Cluster About Safety In Rape Culture Research, Amber Moore

This paper offers and explores a poetry cluster of found list poems written from data collected in a feminist literacy education research study. The larger project examined secondary English teacher candidates’ responses to teaching and learning about sexual assault narratives from a trauma text set, as well as pedagogy for addressing sexual violence, rape culture, and Tarana Burke’s MeToo movement, in the literature classroom. The selected poems are raw, much like the subject matter they collectively speak to, and function together as micro collection that carry a particular politics: exploring what it means to resist rape culture as a witness …

In The Imaginal Realm Before She Could Read: A Healing A/R/Tographic Inquiry, Barbara Bickel

Artizein: Arts and Teaching Journal

This healing a/r/tographic inquiry ritually cycles through ancestral time to the present inspired by a recently found small grey book above the author’s dad’s desk—10 years after his death. This article shines light and memory onto spirit infused matrixial borderspace(s) through the co-mingling of text and image; returning to a site where text first met image in the early years of the author’s life. She is both the young dreaming artist-child and the responsible artist/researcher/teacher seeking embodied relational imaginal knowledge through the light of both image and word.
