Doctoral Dissertations and Projects
Artificial intelligence (AI) has bombarded many of the global industries with promises to improve day-to-day operations, while augmenting decision-making and providing simplistic solutions. The healthcare industry has begun to observe the uptick in AI as well, with challenges of quality, costs, and access historically actualized; leaving healthcare leaders with decisions to make about adopting AI into their facilities. With the dynamic provisions that AI is driving in industry, there is still not a holistic adoption due to many fears and unknowns. A pulse into the minds of healthcare leaders is needed to understand the relationship between AI and healthcare.

Primary General Music: Trauma-Informed Instruction In Title I Schools In Post-Pandemic Georgia, Sarah-Ann Higgins
Primary General Music: Trauma-Informed Instruction In Title I Schools In Post-Pandemic Georgia, Sarah-Ann Higgins
Doctoral Dissertations and Projects
Despite growing evidence of the need for trauma-informed teaching practices in schools, most music educators have limited training or knowledge of trauma-informed teaching strategies. The need for trauma-informed teaching has grown due to many students and teachers having lived through the collective trauma experience of social isolation due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Inherently social in nature, music classes are an ideal setting to address the unique needs of students who have experienced trauma. Children living in low socio-economic settings are especially vulnerable due to the already increased likelihood of experiencing adverse events that may cause trauma such as child abuse, …

We Clear The Way: United States Army Combat Engineers In The Second World War's Southwest Pacific Theater, 1942-1945, Marc C. Jeter
Doctoral Dissertations and Projects
The immense scope and scale of World War II required its combatants to conduct operations in every conceivable climatic condition and topographical setting. This fact has continued to represent a double-edged sword for the historiography of this conflict. The researcher may pursue any number of elements of this war to pursue and have done so. That said, aspects remain not yet mined from the cavernous topographical lode eight decades after this war. One such angle of this war not yet fully researched and analyzed by historians is that of General Douglas MacArthur and the US Army’s operational record and experiences …
The Iconography Of Phrygia And The Phrygian Ethnonym As The Hypothetical Cognate Of “Free”, Ava Anne Quattlebaum
The Iconography Of Phrygia And The Phrygian Ethnonym As The Hypothetical Cognate Of “Free”, Ava Anne Quattlebaum
Doctoral Dissertations and Projects
For the word ‘free’ to truly be a cognate of Phrygia, they must share the same Indo-European (PIE) root which is *priya (‘love, dear one’) from which the cognates ‘friend,’ ‘frou’ and goddesses ‘Frigg’ and ‘Freyja’ (goddesses of ‘love’) are derived. However, ‘Phrygia’ is not yet proven to be a cognate with the same root *priya. Its etymology is relatively unknown and yet this research has discovered that the Phrygian ethnonym is indeed reported to mean ‘free men’ in the Macedonian language. If this is true, then the meaning of ‘free’ may be more related to the Phrygian ethnonym than …

The Scatological Scriptures: A Biblical Theology Of Dung, Zachary C. Hill
The Scatological Scriptures: A Biblical Theology Of Dung, Zachary C. Hill
Doctoral Dissertations and Projects
The Scriptures contain a theology of dung. When the semantic and conceptual cognates that pertain to dung are synthesized, the result is a scriptural scatology whereby dung is presented as a symbol for sin. To clarify, the biblical exhibition of dung presents excrement as a central symbol employed by Scripture to concretize the abstract nature of sin. When each semantic and conceptual cognate that pertains to dung is examined, in nearly every instance where dung is mentioned, sin is in close proximity. The recognition of the dung–sin symbol enlightens particular aspects related to the nature of sin, which mirrors the …

Travel and tourism in the United States had become an essential pastime for all social classes by the end of the nineteenth century going into the twentieth century. Due to segregation, however, only whites were able to thoroughly enjoy this glorious luxury openly. African Americans during this time had to find ways to enjoy this pastime while avoiding the constant discrimination, humiliation, and embarrassment that came with traveling. From this need were created black travel guides such as the highly successful Negro Motorist Green Book produced by African American businessman and entrepreneur Victor Hugo Green. From 1936 to 1966, Green’s …
