Dialectical Tensions In Stroke Survivor Relationships, Kimberly N. Leezer

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

Stroke is an unpredictable and life-altering medical occurrence which causes immediate change in stroke survivors' relationships. Previous communication researchers have focused on the dialectical tensions experienced by stroke survivors themselves. This study sought to discover dialectical tensions experienced by spouses of stroke survivors, how those dialectical tensions compare to those experienced by stroke survivors, and how time affects the dialectical tensions experienced by spouses of stroke survivors. Sixteen spouses of stroke survivors participated in interviews, and five tensions were ultimately discovered: self-preference -- partner-preference, realism -- idealism, freedom constraint, fear -- content, and emotional release -- emotional reservation.

Shoreline Erosion In Deep Creek Lake, Maryland: Patterns, Trends And Economic Implications., Catalin Demian

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

Deep Creek Lake, Maryland was constructed in the 1930s as a reservoir for a hydro-electric project, but it also has been used for recreational purposes. Property ownership is attractive, but lakefront properties in particular are exposed to shoreline erosion. A particular issue is the State of Maryland’s ownership of the shoreline and the buffer strip. While most of shoreline erosion occurs technically on state-owned land, not the lakeshore private property, erosion’s most visible effects are property improvements damage or gradual decrease in the distance between the lake and the property improvement. In order to understand the magnitude of the problem, …

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

A mother's knowledge about parenting and child development is an important facilitator of effective parenting behavior. Research suggests that an infant's healthy development is influenced by his or her mother's parenting behaviors (Kenny, Bowen, & Starte, 2004). Although past research has established the relations between parenting knowledge and many maternal and infant characteristics, the importance of this topic necessitates further research. The current study was conducted to assess relations among mothers’ parenting and milestone knowledge, mothers' sources of information about parenting and child development, mothers' social support network density and satisfaction with the availability of their support networks, mother's parenting …

An Examination Of Parenting Strategies, Attitudes, And Stress In Foster And Biological Parents Of Young Children., Kristine E. Rork

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

The child welfare system is undergoing a crisis in which there are a greater number of foster children requiring temporary housing arrangements than there are foster parents available to provide housing for them. However, despite this fact, little research has been performed regarding the needs and characteristics of foster parents. To help retain these foster parents, they must believe their needs are being met by the child welfare system; otherwise, there is an increased risk of foster parents deciding not to foster in the future. The present study investigated differences between a sample of 30 foster parents of children ages …

Literary Representations: Reading And Writing Femininity In Eighteenth Century Novels., Jessika L. Thomas Jan 2007

Literary Representations: Reading And Writing Femininity In Eighteenth Century Novels., Jessika L. Thomas

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

Fictional depictions of feminine reading and writing practices reveal transformations in expectations of women's roles due to changes in economic, political, social, and familial structures during the eighteenth century. Luce Irigaray's concern with the relationship between cultural influences and individual development offers a new perspective for considering female authors' representations of literary women and femininity. This dissertation utilizes Irigaray's cultural and psychoanalytic critiques of masculine discourse to develop a methodology for analyzing women's reactions, as they are revealed through fictional characters, against prohibitions that limited their engagement in literary activities. Female protagonists challenge social boundaries through their reading and writing …

Ethylene Signaling During Flower Development And Senescence In Carnations (Dianthus Caryophyllus L.)., Mihaela Iordachescu Jan 2007

Ethylene Signaling During Flower Development And Senescence In Carnations (Dianthus Caryophyllus L.)., Mihaela Iordachescu

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

The plant hormone ethylene plays an important role in numerous plant growth and developmental processes, including flower development and senescence. Once perceived by ethylene receptors, the ethylene signal is transduced through a series of components until it reaches its ultimate targets (e.g. senescence-related (SR) genes). EIN3, a transcription factor and positive regulator of the ethylene signaling pathway, most likely affects these SR genes. Using a combination of approaches, three EIN3-like (EIL) cDNAs, DC-EIL1/2 (AY728191), DC-EIL3 (AY728192) and DC-EIL4 (AY728193), were isolated from carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus L.) petals. The cloned cDNAs share a high amino acid identity among each other and …

Mining History: Extracting Qualitative And Quantitative Resources For The Discovery Of Appalachian Cultural Landscapes., Hannah Leigh Cole Jan 2007

Mining History: Extracting Qualitative And Quantitative Resources For The Discovery Of Appalachian Cultural Landscapes., Hannah Leigh Cole

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

he most recent trend in historic preservation has led many in the field to pay attention to cultural landscapes as historic resources. Considering buildings, structures, or objects within a given spatial and physical setting, or landscape, endows them with historic significance and context that would be absent if viewed individually. While this is somewhat of an expansive approach to the built environment, this trend in historic landscape interpretation still does not account for all types of resources that one finds in the field. A fragmentary landscape is a cultural landscape defined by three characteristics: 1) the presence of buildings, structures, …

Managing Welfare Stigma From The Other Side Of The Desk: A Look At Rural Tanf Caseworkers., Sarah L. Hartzell Jan 2007

Managing Welfare Stigma From The Other Side Of The Desk: A Look At Rural Tanf Caseworkers., Sarah L. Hartzell

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

Welfare recipients have always been stigmatized. The welfare reform legislation of 1996 reflects widespread attitudes and stereotypes of welfare recipients, which are translated into the structure of state welfare programs and are carried down through the administration to the welfare caseworker—the “face” of welfare for recipients. Literature on welfare stigma has focused on clients, but not their caseworkers. Using qualitative methods, this paper presents a Goffmanian analysis of the effects of welfare stigma on these caseworkers, who not only interact with clients in their jobs everyday, but who also implement a stigmatizing social program. The caseworkers in this study constructed …
