Land And Self In A Mayan Universe, Robert Charles Rusie
Land And Self In A Mayan Universe, Robert Charles Rusie
UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations
This paper explores the linkages between Mayan religious beliefs as presented in, The Popol Vuh and The Book of Chilam Balam, myth, and modern ethnographic material for clues to Mayan economic behavior. It presents the argument that the "closed corporate system" and the reliance on the municipio as the focus of identity is a function of World-view, and that Mayans see land as a symbol of self and community. The ensuing economic behavior and the strong attachment to "milpa production" is more than an adaptive strategy to the vicissitudes of economic insecurity, but a route to maintaining balance and harmony …
Unwrapping The Neolithic Package: Wadi Shu'eib And Kholetria-Ortos In Perspective, Jason Brandon Cooper
Unwrapping The Neolithic Package: Wadi Shu'eib And Kholetria-Ortos In Perspective, Jason Brandon Cooper
UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations
Archaeological research of the Neolithic period in Southwest Asia depicts socio-cultural developments and proto-urban villages, resulting from an intensifying agro-economy, emerging simultaneously during the first 5,000 years of the Holocene (11,000 to 6,000 bp). Kholetria-Ortos, Cyprus, and Wadi Shu'eib, Jordan, are highlighted in this thesis to illustrate variability found in a proposed "Neolithic package." The "Neolithic package" is a time capsule of items and ideas centered on sedentary villages participating in a domesticated plant/animal driven economy that provided subsistence and surplus to a growing population. Analysis of the recovered artifacts from both sites finds evidence of cultural variability across time …
Atomic Age Training Camp: The Historical Archaeology Of Camp Desert Rock, Susan Edwards
Atomic Age Training Camp: The Historical Archaeology Of Camp Desert Rock, Susan Edwards
UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations
Located in the southeast corner of the Nevada Test Site, Camp Desert Rock was established in 1951 when U.S. military leaders decided American ground troops needed physical and psychological training in the tactics of atomic warfare. For the next six years, Camp Desert Rock was home for the nearly 60,000 soldiers that participated in military exercises during atmospheric weapons testing. With the end of atmospheric testing the camp was partially dismantled and abandoned; The focus of this thesis was to identify and describe the material remains of Camp Desert Rock and to test the utility of Robert Schuyler's historic ethnographic …
The Utilization Of Selected Marketing Elements By Higher Education Institutions, Chester Donald Kajcienski
The Utilization Of Selected Marketing Elements By Higher Education Institutions, Chester Donald Kajcienski
UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations
The purpose of this study was to determine the utilization of selected marketing elements by higher education institutions enrolling 5,000 or more students by headcount. Selected marketing elements were determined by a content analysis of marketing textbooks which yielded 20 such elements: product, price, strategy, market, promotion, research, mix, analysis, advertising, target, competition, segment, service, information, demand, forecasting, place, purchase, image, and demographics. These elements became the basis for a survey instrument designed specifically for this project. Furthermore, 15 items on the survey instrument suggested various factors that might constrain the full utilization of marketing; In terms of the selected …

Contesting The Commons: Race, Ethnicity, Class, Occupation, And Environment In Central Nevada, 1850-1880, Brian Wesley Frehner
UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations
This thesis tells a story of resource competition in central Nevada primarily between two groups--Shoshone Indians who inhabited the region for centuries and European Americans who arrived in the nineteenth century. Although people who competed for control of the region's pinion pine trees generally fell into either of these categories, the labels of Indian and European grossly oversimplify the diversity within each group. Both Shoshone and Europeans comprised a variety of sub-groupings that utilized resources in a distinct manner and for purposes that often differed from those of the larger population. A number of different Shoshone bands and families competed …
Mortuary Practices On Children, Stephanie Jo Fox
Mortuary Practices On Children, Stephanie Jo Fox
UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations
This study is a reevaluation of past theories that recommend the use of mortuary practices to determine rank within cultures as applied to children. A comparative study of 40 cultures world wide is conducted using the Human Relation Area Files for ethnographic examples of mortuary practices. Funerary and mourning rituals performed for both children and adults are studied to see how the deceased's social position affects mortuary treatment. Thirteen of 26 egalitarian cultures that yielded information have funerary and mourning rituals that are the same or very similar for both adults and children. With thirteen remaining egalitarian cultures the data …
Girlfriend Or Esposa? Cultural Scenarios In Translation, Megan S Fuller
Girlfriend Or Esposa? Cultural Scenarios In Translation, Megan S Fuller
UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations
In the United States only married couples are called by the terms husband and wife. In Mexico, both married and unmarried cohabiting couples are referred to as esposo and esposa, terms usually translated as 'husband' and 'wife'. By using schema theory, American and Mexican cultural scenarios of marriage are developed and compared. The characteristics most important to terminological usage are determined. For Americans, the terms husband and wife indicate partners with a permanent commitment to each other. Mexicans, on the other hand, use the terms esposo and esposa as indices of adult status, which can be achieved through cohabitation.
An Evolution Of Creativity And Ritual: The Immortalizing Craftmenship Of The Chinchorro Morticians, Russell Allen Hapke
An Evolution Of Creativity And Ritual: The Immortalizing Craftmenship Of The Chinchorro Morticians, Russell Allen Hapke
UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations
The ancient Chinchorros are the oldest culture known to have developed elaborate artificial mummification practices for their deceased. This study tested a Chinchorro sedentary subsitence strategy proposed by Arriaza (1995a). This proposition conflicts with the present paradigms concerning prehistoric egalitarian societies. By analyzing the mummified remains of twenty-seven individuals, radiocarbon dates and ethnographic mortuarial data of ten other maritime cultures, this thesis builds a base for both supporting and opposing the sedentary proposition. It is suggested that the Chinchorro were sedentary during the black period (ca. 5050-3000 B.C.) but more mobile during the subsequent red and mud-coated periods. The style, …
A Recent Application Of The Saxe-Binford Hypothesis In Establishing Social Persona, Barbara Ann Holz
A Recent Application Of The Saxe-Binford Hypothesis In Establishing Social Persona, Barbara Ann Holz
UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations
An excavation and analysis of an abandoned cemetery located in Las Vegas, Nevada was used to test the Saxe-Binford hypothesis regarding social persona. A total of 128 individuals (117 nonveterans and 11 veterans) were disinterred. These remains were in various different states of decomposition, two different burial types (casket and copper box), three different burial locations, and age ranges between fetal and elderly adult (90s); According to the Saxe-Binford hypothesis certain mortuary attributes should reflect social information. Attributes studied were burial location, burial type (coffin type, urn), headstone type, and associated grave goods. The boundaries of the cemetery sections, burial …
Dental Evidence For The Peopling Of Guam, Pamela Lin Lawrence
Dental Evidence For The Peopling Of Guam, Pamela Lin Lawrence
UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations
The morphology of fifty-six dental casts from pre- to early European contact Chamorro skeletal remains from Guam, Micronesia is described based on eighteen tooth crown traits. Chi-square tests for sex dimorphism do not indicate significant differences between males and females. Observer error was found for two traits on the upper first molar and one on the upper canine; The Chamorro dentition exhibits a simplified crown morphology typical of the Sundadont dental pattern. Comparisons of trait frequencies from this study with other Asian and non-Asian samples selected from the literature support Turner's (1990b) suggestion that the Chamorro likely originated in southern …

The American Church/State Quagmire: A Major Cause And A Proposed Solution, Mary Fleming Morton
UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations
The primary purpose of this thesis is to clarify possible legitimate interactions between churches and government bodies in America. Finding that the present interpretation of the First Amendment has actually precipitated much of the current controversy, evidence is presented of its lack of validity. Instead an alternative interpretation is offered that clearly shows that the American colonists had come to recognize an entirely new manner in which to organize a society. This new manner of organization gave sovereignty to the individual in two major societal systems: the political and the religious. The consequence of this was the recognition that churches …
Honduras' Transisthmian Corridor: An Historical Geography Of Roadbuilding In Colonial Central America., Scott Arlen Brady
Honduras' Transisthmian Corridor: An Historical Geography Of Roadbuilding In Colonial Central America., Scott Arlen Brady
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
Historical route geographers consider the factors that influenced past roadbuilding, and the changes that result from roadbuilding. The earliest Spanish colonial officials in Central America initiated roadbuilding projects that were sensitive to physical and cultural factors. Officials had to consider the region's aboriginal routes, Spain's trade flows, the isthmus' topography, and the region's population distribution. The roads the Spaniards opened four centuries ago guided early settlement. In some cases, these early roads persist in the region's route network. During the 16th-century Spaniards sought to establish transisthmian roadways that would link Spain's Atlantic and Pacific maritime networks. Partial fluvial routes across …
The "Sacred Harp" In The Urban North: 1970-1995., Mark David Johnson
The "Sacred Harp" In The Urban North: 1970-1995., Mark David Johnson
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
In 1994 the Sacred Harp, a southern, shape-note tunebook, entered its 150th year of continuous use. First compiled in 1844 by B. F. White and E. J. King, and updated numerous times, The Sacred Harp books in the "Denson" tradition, including The Sacred Harp: 1991 Edition, are today the most popular and widely used twentieth-century revisions of any nineteenth-century tunebook. Sacred Harp singing has been a largely rural, Southern tradition and in the years between 1844 and the early 1970s several hundred separate singings were founded, many of which continue to be active. In the early 1990s the Sacred Harp …

The Use Of Communication Facilitators With Severely Brain Injured Non-Responsive Adults., Alisa Judith Mendoza
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
Slow-to-Recover (STR) individuals are a subset of the neurologically impaired population who remain non-responsive for extended periods of time before beginning to demonstrate improvement in cognitive, communicative, or motor function. This investigation focuses on the development and implementation of a facilitator-based intervention program carried out with an STR brain injured adult residing in a long-term care facility. The model involved: (1) sensory stimulation techniques to increase responses to external stimuli, (2) augmentative techniques which enabled the subject to control his immediate environment and, (3) training of qualified residents within the facility to act as communication facilitators. Ethnographic procedures were employed …

A Rhetorical Criticism And Analysis Of President Ronald Reagan's Inaugural Address: Applying The Burkeian Dramatistic Pentad Approach, Marzuki Jamil Baki Bin Haji Mohamed Johar Bachik
Masters Theses
It is no accident that Ronald Reagan rose to the pinnacle of power at a moment when there was a rising wave of intellectual pessimism. Numerous theories were being offered as to why the trajectory of the American experiment has passed its apogee. Reagan's greatest gift to his country has been his soaring sense of possibilities. To see where he got it, look at what he has seen in a long life. However, a great communicator will communicate complicated ideas, hard choices and bad news. Reagan has had little aptitude and less appetite for those tasks. But, then, communication is …
Induction Into Academia: The Experiences Of New Occupational Therapy Faculty, Catherine R. Acre
Induction Into Academia: The Experiences Of New Occupational Therapy Faculty, Catherine R. Acre
Theses and Dissertations
The American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA) estimates the number of therapists in the nation's occupational therapy workforce at 46,357. Silvergate (1994) estimates a 71% shortage based on the actual vacancies for occupational therapy personnel currently exists. In response to the growing demand for occupational therapists, the number of academic programs in occupational therapy has increased. Currently there are 85 accredited occupational therapy programs and 30 developing programs in the United States. In addition, for every newly available student space in professional-level programs, there were a reported 3.4 applicants. With only five doctoral programs in occupational therapy in the United States, …

While we believe that the work of healing our cultural dyslexia is partly cognitive, in and through this paper we have tried to enact the experiential aspect. We may approach the entrances of the borderlands through reading and thinking, however we believe that the borderlands is a phenomenon of living, a phenomenon of well-intentioned people interacting in deliberate and thoughtful ways with those who are simultaneously like and unlike us/them. The borderlands require that we bring our critical faculties to bear on life's experiences, but, more often than not, we must suspend them in favor of more charitable and affiliative …

Conversation In Nauvoo About The Corporeality Of God, Jacob Neusner
Conversation In Nauvoo About The Corporeality Of God, Jacob Neusner
BYU Studies
Religion scholar Jacob Neusner looks at the corporeal nature of God through the lens of Mormonism and Judaism. He addresses anthropomorphism and incarnation, and concludes that the way to know God is through “our relationship with him, not through our act of the incarnation of God in heart and mind and soul.” Neusner appreciates the powerful doctrine of God’s corporeality taught by the Prophet Joseph Smith in the 1842 King Follett Sermon, which says that men may converse with God “as one man converses with another.” He says, “In the formative documents of the Torah in its oral version, that …
Polygamous Family Life: The Case Of Contemporary Mormon Fundamentalists, Irwin Altman
Polygamous Family Life: The Case Of Contemporary Mormon Fundamentalists, Irwin Altman
Utah Law Review
This Paper summarizes an ongoing research program on contemporary Mormon polygynous families (one husband and two or more wives). We examine husband-wife and wife-wife relations plural families in regard to (1) how husbands and wives achieve viable dyadic and communal relationships, and (2) how dyadic and communal issues are managed in social and physical contexts through the life cycle of plural family relationships. The project extends my and my colleagues' earlier work on the development of interpersonal relationships, privacy regulation, and the role of the physical environment in close personal relationships. The research also derives from dialectic and transactional/contextual philosophical …
The Family As A System: A Preliminary Sketch, Lee E. Teitelbaum
The Family As A System: A Preliminary Sketch, Lee E. Teitelbaum
Utah Law Review
An adequate legal theory of the family can neither rest on nor ignore the heuristic devices that have been invoked by courts and commentators. Both internally and in relation to other social institutions, families are far too varied in structure and operation and too localized in meaning to be captured so easily. Nonetheless, some way of expressing important normative judgments about family relationships is required. Viewing the family as a system, both in its internal organization and functions and in relation to other social structures, may provide a way of accommodating seemingly opposed images of the family as a unit …
