Monitoring Drought Intensity In Illinois With A Combined Index, Guanling Feng
Monitoring Drought Intensity In Illinois With A Combined Index, Guanling Feng
Theses
Many traditional drought assessments are conducted based on climate and hydrologic data. The availability and precision of data limit the spatial and temporal resolution and accuracy of derived drought indices. In this study, Vegetation Condition Index (VCI) and Temperature Condition Index (TCI) were generated from Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) products. The VCI was derived from Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) that was calculated with near infrared and visible red band reflectance from MOD09Q1. The TCI was derived from land surface temperature (LST) product MOD11A2. The VCI and TCI were then combined with reference to the vegetation coverage information from …

Private Acts, Public Problems: Domestic Violence As A Policy Case Study, Emily S. Carroll
Private Acts, Public Problems: Domestic Violence As A Policy Case Study, Emily S. Carroll
Dissertations
This project discusses the relevant literature on decision-making, looks at the ways domestic violence is discussed and how the terminology has changed/progressed over time, and defines it for the purposes of this project. It then examines four states - an individualistic, resource-rich state; a moralistic, resource-average state; and two traditionalistic, resource-poor states. States were chosen based on their full compliance with the National Incident-Based Reporting System, their categorization as individualistic, moralistic, and traditionalistic as defined by Daniel J. Elazar (1972), and their categorization as resource-rich, resource-average, and resource-poor based on 2010 Census data. By using each state as a case …
Consumers And Their Celebrity Brands: How Narratives Impact Attachment Through Communal Relationship Norms, Bennie Eng
Consumers And Their Celebrity Brands: How Narratives Impact Attachment Through Communal Relationship Norms, Bennie Eng
Dissertations
Whether they are gracing movie screens, tweeting about the size of their baby bump, or being photographed by the paparazzi in their swimwear accidently on purpose, celebrities compel consumers to care. Despite the pervasive consumer interest in celebrities, the fundamental process of how and when consumers develop relationships with and attachments to them is a subject that has been underexplored by marketing scholars, a discipline whose activities are often turbocharged by celebrities. In this research project, celebrities are viewed as brands in and of themselves, and accordingly, are examined through the prism of marketing's brand relationship literature. Drawing upon that …
Pathways To Democratic Citizenship: The Mediating Roles Of Deliberation And Political Efficacy In The Effects Of Old And New Media Use On Political Participation In South Korea, Chang Sup Park
Dissertations
For more than three decades, citizen engagement in the political process in South Korea was strictly hampered by the harsh control of the public sphere by authoritarian regimes and mainstream media's failure to provide a democratic public forum. With the penetration of online and social media, the participatory culture of South Korea has significantly and qualitatively changed. During the last 10 some years, citizens actively used Internet media, such as online and social media, in mobilizing people for social and political causes. In recent elections, the use of Internet media has been considered one of the decisive factors of turnout …

Axe-Heads And Mississippian Political Economy: A St. Francois Provenance Study, Rosanna Yvonne Crow
Axe-Heads And Mississippian Political Economy: A St. Francois Provenance Study, Rosanna Yvonne Crow
Theses
Axe-heads made of a distinctive raw material are found at Mississippian sites across southern Illinois and the Ohio-Mississippi confluence region, yet little research has been done to determine their geological provenance. In this thesis, I use geochemical methods to analyze ground stone tools and debitage from across the Confluence Region in order to prove their origins in the St. Francois Mountains of Missouri. I also compare patterns of axe-head production, consumption, and deposition to Charles Cobb's (2000) model of Mill Creek chert hoes, so as to gain a greater understanding of the political economy of these objects.
Characterization Of Impulse Noise And Hazard Analysis Of Impulse Noise Induced Hearing Loss Using Ahaah Modeling, Qing Wu
Theses
Millions of people across the world are suffering from noise induced hearing loss (NIHL), especially under working conditions of either continuous Gaussian or non-Gaussian noise that might affect human's hearing function. Impulse noise is a typical non-Gaussian noise exposure in military and industry, and generates severe hearing loss problem. This study mainly focuses on characterization of impulse noise using digital signal analysis method and prediction of the auditory hazard of impulse noise induced hearing loss by the Auditory Hazard Assessment Algorithm for Humans (AHAAH) modeling. A digital noise exposure system has been developed to produce impulse noises with peak sound …
Putting Men Back In The Menstrual Cycle: A Qualitative Analysis Of Men's Perceptions Of Menstruation, Katherine Fishman
Putting Men Back In The Menstrual Cycle: A Qualitative Analysis Of Men's Perceptions Of Menstruation, Katherine Fishman
Theses
Although menstruation is typically regarded as an indication of health (Kissling, 1996), strong cultural messages about menstruation perpetuate the belief that it is dirty, disgusting and a state that must be managed (Ussher, 2006). Many women internalize this belief and go to great lengths to hide their menstrual status (Chrisler, 2007). Negative attitudes toward menstruation have been linked to decreased body satisfaction (Schooler, Ward, Meriwether, & Caruthers, 2005), perceptions of decreased competence and likability (Roberts, Goldenberg, Power, & Pyszynski, 2002), and the belief that menstruating women are more emotional, less attractive, and more irritable than non-menstruating women (Forbes, Adams-Curtis, White, …

Building Social Change Through Interactive Webcomics, Sarah Shelton
Building Social Change Through Interactive Webcomics, Sarah Shelton
Research Papers
Comic books are a popular form of creative storytelling. Through sequential juxtaposed panels, comics have the unique ability to interact with the reader through time and space. The context within comics is the constrained amount of panels a typical comic book page allows, and the space that exists between the panels encourages the reader to manipulate meaning. Through this unique process of interaction between the narrative and the reader, comics have proven to be a creative medium to promote meanings of social change. Throughout history, comics have utilized their entertaining guise to mask underlying themes of social injustices and political …

The Impact Of Media Consumption On Civic Participation: Examining Media And Social Capital Effects, An’Drea E. Hall
Research Papers
This study examines how media consumption and social capital impact civic participation. Although several studies have been conducted on the issue of media effects and social capital, mostly in the area of political participation, fewer studies have explored their impact on civic participation. This study therefore expands the literature on the issue of civic participation by looking at the effects of using different media types such as: television, newspapers, radio, and the Internet, in addition to having a certain level of social capital, in order to engage in civic activities. Ordinary least squares (OLS) regression technique was used in analyzing …

Intercultural Communication: American Tv Series In China, Xuan Li
Intercultural Communication: American Tv Series In China, Xuan Li
Research Papers
American TV series were first introduced into China in the 1980s and their popularity was growing in recent years. Different from South Korean TV series in previous years, the popularity of American TV series does not rely on television but via Internet. As an art of sound and image, American TV series do not only bring Chinese audiences fresh audio-visual experience, but also intercultural experiences of American culture and values. This exploratory study uses questionnaire survey and focus group to investigate Chinese audiences’ attitudes towards American TV series, to analyze the influences that the American TV series may have on …
Return – To – Work Programs: Employer Considerations, Elisabeth A. Hill
Return – To – Work Programs: Employer Considerations, Elisabeth A. Hill
Research Papers
Return – to – work programs are an essential element of the Workers’ Compensation process for successfully returning injured employees to work. Successful return-to-work has long- reaching effects for employer, employee, and society in general. Return-to-work programs have, historically, been proven to be cost-effective for employers over the long-term. However, employers still show hesitancy towards devoting full resources towards the programs due to cost concerns. Additionally, the recession has created a leaner workforce and employers are often operating on more constrained budgets, potentially causing more reductions in allocation of resources towards return-to-work efforts. This paper will examine current cost concerns …

Application Of Problem Based Learning And Mastery Learning To Multimedia Education, Gabriel J. Grant, Dominick E. Fazarro, Luke Steinke
Online Journal for Workforce Education and Development
The current state of education and the workforce demands a special kind of learner capable of creativity, communicating effectively, analytical skill application, critical thinking, and problem solving. Whereas these skills are important, it is also a necessity for learners to be masters of the knowledge and skills that they have acquired. Traditional educational methods have proven to be somewhat ineffective in producing these results. Problem based learning has proven worthy in handling some of the load, however, mastery learning has been abandoned long ago for reasons in spite of its effectiveness. Through given examples and careful design, the educator will …
