The region is in a state of impressive transformation into a more modern society, while it still maintains the historical aspects of the region that its people take such pride in. Among these …
Effects Of Emotion And Construal Level On Obesity Stigma, Peyton D. Curtis
Effects Of Emotion And Construal Level On Obesity Stigma, Peyton D. Curtis
Honors Theses
We conducted the present study to determine how emotion and construal level contribute to obesity bias. Specifically, we examined if different emotions, such as disgust, sadness, and happiness, played a role in several different judgments of an obese versus thin individual: 1) general impressions, 2) supporting a friend, and 3) endorsing personal versus biological/environmental causes for weight. We also investigated whether a self me construal or collective we construal influenced these judgments. We additionally considered whether emotion and these construal levels would interact to influence such judgments. The current work found that emotion and construal level did not interact to …

Suffer The Children: A Collection Of Biographical Stories From Patients, Families, And Professionals In The World Of Pediatric Cancer, Samuel Taylor Farris
Honors Theses
One area of cancer diagnoses that has garnered much attention in recent years is pediatric oncology. Many adults, certainly not all, increase likelihood of cancer, both directly and indirectly, through usually habitual lifestyles (tobacco use, alcoholism, etc). Meanwhile, children are plagued by cancer through seemingly no fault of their own, provoking widespread curiosity. Researchers tend to analyze pediatric cancer with quantitative data, but this investigation is based on qualitative information, by compiling a list of thirty individuals who have, in some way, been affected by pediatric cancer, and examining their attitudes and reflections in various time stages, outcomes, and relations …

The Evolution Of Trade And Labor Laws In China, Sarah Catherine Hearn
Honors Theses
This thesis investigates the long-term evolution of legislation that contributed to the shift of China from a command economy to an economic powerhouse in the capitalist world economy.

The Proto-Romantic Politics Of Reading: The Aesthetic Presence Of Dante In The Cockney School, Meredith Hilliard
Honors Theses
Despite the long-standing popularity of the story of Paolo and Francesca among British Romantic poets and the already widespread readership of Dante’s works during the early nineteenth century, Leigh Hunt’s poem The Story of Rimini is unique in that it was among the first to make the story of Paolo and Francesca its centerpiece and to give the humanist, sympathetic treatment of the historical Francesca so characteristic of British Romanticism. Despite the controversy surrounding the poem’s sensuality, its poetic style, and its political undertones, Rimini produced a dramatic ripple of interest in the story of Paolo and Francesca that reached …

Studies Of Carbonaceous Materials Using Raman Spectroscopy, Cameron L. Smith
Honors Theses
Various carbonaceous materials including graphene, treated biochar, and C60 were studied using Raman spectroscopy with particular attention given to the treatment process and the Raman enhancement methods. Such studies that focus on the treatment process are useful in determining the extent to which the species was affected via shifts in the Raman peaks. Previous collaborations have proven successful when multiple samples were studied and analyzed. The attempt to create a novel Raman enhancement technique via combination of two previously recorded techniques was ultimately unsuccessful but further work is necessary.
