Lavilla, Florida, 1866-1887: Reconstruction Dreams And The Formation Of A Black Community, Patricia Drozd Kenney

UNF Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Several factors which influenced the formation of an urban black community following the Civil War are examined in this study. Prior to the war, LaVilla, a suburb of Jacksonville, Florida, was sparsely populated by wealthy white families. At war's end, freedmen seeking shelter and work took advantage of the inexpensive housing and proximity to employment LaVilla offered and, by 1870, became the majority population. The years 1866 through 1887 have been chosen for this study because they demarcate LaVilla's inception on the one hand and, on the other, its disappearance as an independent entity. Local, state, and federal records have …

The "New Age Movement": A Case Study, Zachary Grant Goodell

Theses and Dissertations

Within the last two decades, the United States has witnessed the growth of a phenomenon which the media has referred to as "The New Age Movement". This multi-faceted social pattern includes astrology, meditation, mysticism, and eastern philosophies, the popularity of which have increased significantly in the 1980's. This thesis is a case study of the "New Age Movement". First, I develop a descriptive model of the key ideological themes and organizational structures of this social pattern. Subsequently, I organize this model in terms of several sociologically based theoretical frameworks including activity fads, social movements, and sociocultural shifts, in order to …

Gender Construction In Prime-Time Sitcoms: "Roseanne" And "Murphy Brown", Claudia Crowley Collins

UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations

Gender Construction in Prime-Time Sitcoms: Roseanne and Murphy Brown analyzes gender portrayal in the highest rated situation comedies on network television in the United States in 1992. The research is constructed to examine whether gender, as presented in Roseanne and Murphy Brown, continues to be based on confining stereotypes or if female characters are being portrayed in an increasingly egalitarian manner. Findings from previous decades of media research on gender portrayal in network television are used as a standard for compariSon Variations in gender portrayal because of social class differences are also examined; The main research methodology employed is content …

Trace Element Analysis Of Bighorn Sheep Horns, Peter Gordon Weigel

UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations

A total of 249 samples of horn material from bighorn sheep was collected from nine locations. The concentrations of eight elements were determined in all samples by inductively coupled argon plasma spectroscopy. Year of horn growth was determined for 154 of the samples. All elements of concentrations varied significantly with respect to location. Some elements varied similarly to other elements with respect to location, but most locations exhibited unique element concentration profiles. Six of eight elements exhibited significant variation with respect to year of horn growth. A general pattern of annual element concentration fluctuation appeared to emerge. Generally, for a …

A Window To The Past: Analysis Of Flat Glass Recovered From West Point, Nevada, William G White

UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations

This thesis presents a comparative archeological analysis of window glass collections recovered from five historic archeological sites located in southern Nevada spanning the years from 1866 to the 1960s. The comparative analysis is used to test the validity of the chronological scheme created by other researchers. The analysis also establishes the frame work by which two specific research questions concerning the abandoned Mormon pioneer colony of West Point are evaluated; Additionally, this study presents, in a descriptive and temporal fashion, the history of West Point and its subsequent use and reuse by later upper Moapa Valley settlers. The archeological and …

Accounts Of The Homeless, Linda Darlene Foreman

UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations

This thesis traces the dominant themes found in the literature explaining homelessness. A discussion of differing types of homeless found in America historically and the categories of homeless living in America today follows. Another aspect of this research is an examination of the accounts given by numerous homeless individuals currently residing in Las Vegas. These accounts are divided into several categories that emerged from the data which reflect some of the experiences and perspectives of those who live without the benefit of shelter. The final part of this research outlines a basic program of action designed to fill the existing …

A Computerized Analysis Of Anterior Teeth As A Possible Indicator Of Age, Race And Sex, Jay A Johnson

UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations

Various systems of anthropometry have been developed through the years in an attempt to elucidate important characteristics of the human dentition. Few methods are currently relied upon as valuable indicators of age, race or sex; The computerized study of anterior tooth positions is an attempt at further elucidation of age, race and sex characteristics. Bite marks in wax from a general population sample of known age, race and sex are the basis for this computerized study. The computerized procedure allows for the examination of minute variation in tooth position. Twelve teeth in total are analyzed for every specimen.

Constitutional Privacy: The Evolution Of A Doctrine, Helena Ann Mandarino

UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations

Although the right to privacy is not actually enumerated in the Constitution, over a century of common law precedent and judicial interpretation has authorized certain personal activities as being outside the scope of governmental regulation. The constitutional defense of such freedoms have been regarded as Fourteenth Amendment due process guarantees to life, liberty, and property. In Griswold v. Connecticut, the Supreme Court ruled that proscribing the use of contraceptives to married couples was unduly burdensome. Judicial acknowledgment of the right to privacy invited further challenges which involved intensely personal situations and choices, the most controversial of which is the right …

A Phenomenological Criticism: A Phenomenologically Based Methodology For Analyzing Theatrical Works, Roberta Sterman Sabbath

UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations

The thesis, using Husserlian phenomenology, presents a descriptive, analytical approach for theatrical works. The methodology consists of two parts: "feeling" and "meaning." "Feeling" covers the reader/viewer's experience of the work; "meaning" covers the source of that experience in the work. An introductory portion asks the analyzer to describe the autonomous aspects of the work. The evaluative conclusion asks the reader/viewer to describe change or lack thereof in the personal perspective; Abraham Maslow's hierarchy of needs, Edith Stein's treatment of empathy, and Ernst Cassirer's paradigms of cultural expression are all used to enrich the analytical approach. Two plays, Caryl Churchill and …

Intrinsic Intertextuality:A Methodology For Analyzing The Seamless Intertext., Karen Sue Mitchell

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

This study argues for a methodology that applies contemporary theories of literature and performance to a certain kind of performance script I call a seamless intertext. Working deductively from theory to dramatic text, I explore what selected portions of extant performance and textual theory have to offer in examining, describing, and explaining these seamless intertexts. Working inductively from dramatic text to theory, I extend and offer further clarification and an extension of current theory through a more detailed explanation of the scripting explicit in each dramatic text. In the study I synthesize existing theory in intertextuality and define and describe …

Soil- And Water-Based Management Strategies For Revegetation And Productivity Improvement Of Brackish Marsh Soil., Gilbert C. Sigua

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Laboratory, greenhouse, and field experiments were conducted on brackish marsh soil of Hackberry, Louisiana (LA). This study was aimed to obtain detailed information on some soil- and water-based management factors that were applicable to the revegetation and productivity improvement of the area. This area was inundated by brackish-saline water, and is now open water, almost totally void of vegetation. The deteriorating productivity and continuous loss of vegetation in the study area can be related to the seasonal and temporal biochemical transformations. These transformations were significantly correlated to precipitation and minimum and maximum temperature in the area. Stochastic regression models were …

Historic Changes In Channel Morphology Of Mississippi River Tributaries: Southwestern Mississippi., Elaine Grace Yodis

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

This study assesses the geomorphological changes to the fluvial systems of two rivers in southwestern Mississippi that have been foreshortened. Channel foreshortening in the lower reaches of these rivers is similar to a lowering of base level and causes a steepening of the channel gradient which leads to channel incision, bank erosion and increased sediment load. Analysis of historical and modern data and a comparison with three unmodified rivers in the same physiographic region, provide an estimate of the magnitude and rate that such disturbances are transmitted through the fluvial system. Degradation and channel instability of the Homochitto River and …
