Bridging Souths: Interdisciplinarity And Knowledge Production In Southern Studies, Matthew David Streets Aug 2022

Bridging Souths: Interdisciplinarity And Knowledge Production In Southern Studies, Matthew David Streets

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This thesis examines the viability of southern studies, a regional studies project on the study of the U.S. South, as an academic field of study and institutionalized site of multi-, inter-, and transdisciplinary knowledge production. Southern studies has undergone numerous turns and paradigm shifts since its institutionalization in the 1970s. These ontological, epistemological, and methodological developments have reoriented the objectives of interdisciplinary knowledge production. Despite the present permeability of disciplinary boundaries, the institutional structure and its racial, capitalist, and disciplinary hierarchies hinder communication and collaboration across disciplines and fields and between the “ivory tower” and “real world.” Understanding the impact …

Sales Technology: A Three-Part Multi-Method Approach To Examining Sales-Stacks, John Galvan

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Salespeople depend on sales-related technologies to make themselves more efficient and effective. The extant sales-technology research tends to examine specific sales technologies in sales settings with the emphasis on the impact on salespeople. With the growth of technological capabilities, sales technology has become more integrated, thus making it harder to separate individual technologies from one another. The current research conducts a typological literature review of sales technology. Next, with an eye toward the development of indigenous theory, it introduces the term sales-stacks as capturing the aggregate of sales technologies that, when effective, provide a powerful, connected, easy-to-use experience for every …

Bland Treacherous Water: Diluvial Epistemologies In Flood Narratives Of The Us South Since 1927, Sara Stephens Loomis

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This dissertation examines the relationship between southern flood narratives and the epistemological changes wrought by the Anthropocene epoch in the past hundred years. It participates in the turns toward ecocriticism and environmental justice within 21st-century southern studies, situating the US South as a testing ground for ecosystem epistemologies shaped by overabundant water. An expansion of Steve Mentz’s call for a blue humanities that shifts focus from land to sea, Bland Treacherous Water explores what happens to Anthropocene subjects’ ways of knowing their environments when waterways inundate the land itself. By investigating works by William Faulkner, James Dickey, Cormac McCarthy, Marilou …

Novel Applications Of Hot Melt Extrusion For Developing Oral Solid Dosage Forms With Improved Solubility, Permeability, And Stability, Dinesh Nyavanandi

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

In today's world, with an increasing patient population, the demand for pharmaceutical medications is increasing enormously. However, pharmaceutical industries are continuously failing to meet market and patient populations' demands. Poor solubility of the drug substances is the major roadblock affecting the pharmaceutical industries in meeting the market demand and revenue. Around 70-80% of the new chemical entities within the developmental pipeline are claimed to be poorly soluble, affecting the oral bioavailability. Improving the solubility of drug substances by preserving their stability and physiological action is the primary prerequisite for developmental scientists. The underdeveloped manufacturing process with various limitations is another …

Exploratory Analysis Of Effects Of Data On Adversarial Perturbations, Hamza Ali Zafar Aug 2022

Exploratory Analysis Of Effects Of Data On Adversarial Perturbations, Hamza Ali Zafar

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

In recent years, the amount of data being produced has increased tremendously. This data has allowed us to create and train machine learning models that are being used nowadays. Though these models have proven to be very effective in classification and regression problems, they do have a vulnerability. This vulnerability is exploited by adding adversarial perturbations to the original data or in the deployed model. These adversarial attacks are done by making minute changes to the data to confuse the machine learning model. This can lead to models’ misrepresentation and drop the accuracy. For the span of this paper, I …


Effect Of Excipients/Solvents On The Barrier Integrity And Topical Drug Delivery Across Micropores, Abhishek Shettar Aug 2022

Effect Of Excipients/Solvents On The Barrier Integrity And Topical Drug Delivery Across Micropores, Abhishek Shettar

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The topical and transdermal drug delivery system offers several advantages over conventional drug delivery; non-invasive, patient compliance, avoidance of first-pass metabolism, and sustaining therapeutic drug levels for several days. As a route for drug administration, skin presents a large surface area and can be used for both local and systemic drug delivery. However, the skin forms a formidable barrier protecting the human body from external environmental rigors and excessive water loss, maintaining equilibrium. The skin's barrier properties can be attributed to its unique macromolecular organization and morphology. However, the organized structure of the skin, since intended to prevent the entry …

Vengeance Is Mine How Religious Southern White Supremacy Shaped The Prison Industrial Complex, Kristen Davis Jun 2022

Vengeance Is Mine How Religious Southern White Supremacy Shaped The Prison Industrial Complex, Kristen Davis

Venture: The University of Mississippi Undergraduate Research Journal

White supremacy and the prison industrial complex have a long history of reinforcing one and other. Throughout this history Southern white religious groups have co-opted Christianity to inform their beliefs on crime and punishment. As a result, social, political, and economic efforts to maintain religious white supremacist ideals have bled into and shaped the criminal justice system. This research explores the evolution of these groups’ impact starting with American slavery and ending with the present day by assessing the strategic integration of Christianity, white supremacy, and the politics of crime. This chronological analysis reveals historical foundations as well as modern …

Soul Food And Soul Searching: How The Relationship Between Food In Black Culture And Racialized Beauty Standards Can Lead To Disordered Eating Symptoms In Black Women, Sydni Davis Jun 2022

Soul Food And Soul Searching: How The Relationship Between Food In Black Culture And Racialized Beauty Standards Can Lead To Disordered Eating Symptoms In Black Women, Sydni Davis

Venture: The University of Mississippi Undergraduate Research Journal

Food is an important part of Black culture, expression, and history, but it is often underrepresented in research on eating disorders. Previous research has shown that Black women experience eating disorders comparable to White women when measured using the Questionnaire for Eating Disorder Diagnoses. In light of this, I wanted to know the stories behind women that might exhibit eating disorder symptoms. I used oral histories gathered from three women in my family and autoethnography to amplify the voices of Black women. I found that of my small sample size, 50% felt that they had an unhealthy relationship with food …


Queer Politics In Pre And Post Independence Cameroon Through The Lens Of Weberian Political Authority, Logan Baggett Jun 2022

Queer Politics In Pre And Post Independence Cameroon Through The Lens Of Weberian Political Authority, Logan Baggett

Venture: The University of Mississippi Undergraduate Research Journal

Policy in Cameroon, and on the African continent more generally, is often summarily referred to as the result of neopatrimonial authority. This paper rejects the framework of neopatrimonial authority in Cameroon, applying Weberian notions of charismatic authority to trace the development of queer policy from the pre-colonial period to the present. This paper first analyzes the impact of European colonialism on legal language and then investigates the rhetorical defense of this legal language following independence. Since statehood, the presidencies of Ahmadou Ahidjo (1960 - 1982) and Paul Biya (1982 - ) have implemented selective enforcement of inherited legalisms through near …


How Much Further Can Southern Resilience Go?, Abbie-Noel Pittman Jun 2022

How Much Further Can Southern Resilience Go?, Abbie-Noel Pittman

Venture: The University of Mississippi Undergraduate Research Journal

Climate change affects everyone. However, the Southeastern United States is at a higher risk of negative effects. The South is especially vulnerable to climate change not because mitigation will drain resources, but because those resources were never available in the first place. This paper describes the geographic disadvantages of the Southeastern United States and explains how prior institutional inequality will exacerbate those disadvantages for marginalized groups and communities. The South depends on agriculture and tourism economically, both of which are heavily climate dependent. For southerners who already lack resources, the destruction of two main job industries would be detrimental. This …


Closing The Gap: Documenting Black Women's Involvement In The Integration Of The University Of Mississippi, Brittany Ellis Jun 2022

Closing The Gap: Documenting Black Women's Involvement In The Integration Of The University Of Mississippi, Brittany Ellis

Venture: The University of Mississippi Undergraduate Research Journal

This paper explores the lack of documentation around the first Black woman to racially integrate the University of Mississippi—Verna Ann Bailey—and the rest of her cohort of the first Black female graduating class of 1968. In doing so, I recount how Black women were consistently and directly involved in political activism and student protests at UM in the years from 1965-1970. The narrative of integration at UM is oftentimes viewed as a singular event that started and ended in 1963—not a fluid and long-lasting effort made possible by the sacrifices and determination of a long list of pioneers.

Anxiety Symptoms Among Extension Professionals' During The Covid-19 Pandemic With The Gad-2, Glenn D. Israel, Colleen E. Gariton, Harsha E. James

Journal of Rural Social Sciences

According to the National Institute of Mental Health, anxiety disorders are a common mental health disorder but often remain undetected and undertreated. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Extension professionals have worked hard to address emerging issues that communities face, possibly impacting the amount of anxiety they experience. This study determined the prevalence of anxiety symptoms among Extension professionals in the United States. Participants from 24 states completed a survey containing the Generalized Anxiety Disorder 2-item (GAD-2) screener. Almost one-quarter of Extension professionals had a GAD-2 score greater than three, an indicator of anxiety with a possibility of generalized anxiety disorder, which …


Preventive Behaviors Along The Rural-Urban Continuum In Utah During The Covid-19 Pandemic, Jessica D. Ulrich-Schad, Jennifer E. Givens, Mitchell Beacham Jun 2022

Preventive Behaviors Along The Rural-Urban Continuum In Utah During The Covid-19 Pandemic, Jessica D. Ulrich-Schad, Jennifer E. Givens, Mitchell Beacham

Journal of Rural Social Sciences

Rural individuals and places face major vulnerabilities in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic, yet how and why rural residents adopted preventive behaviors as a result is not well understood. Using cross-sectional data from an online panel survey of Utahans along the rural-urban continuum collected in June of 2020, we find that, overall, rural Utahans were less likely than their more urban counterparts to adopt preventive behaviors. Those who perceived less risk, knew someone sick with COVID-19, thought former President Trump was doing a good job handling the pandemic, had false optimism about the pandemic, had less formal education, and belonged …
