The Great Platte River Road Archway Monument, Susan Wunder, John R. Wunder

Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)

The summer of 2000 marked the grand opening of the Great Platte River Road Archway Monument just east of Kearney, Nebraska, on Interstate 80. Costing approximately $60 million the site features exhibits on the history of the American West in the first and only "museum" to straddle an interstate highway. At the 16 July grand opening, former Nebraska Governor Frank Morrison, a spry ninety-five years, reminisced before an audience of over six hundred, including both of Nebraska's US senators and its current governor, about having realized his dream of honoring the nation's westward movement.

Coverage of the event in the …

What The Past Can Provide: Contribution Of Prehistoric Bison Studies To Modern Bison Management, Kenneth Cannon

Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)

For over 100 years, bison in the Greater Yellowstone Area have been managed intensely. Even during the years of "natural regulation," bison herds have been heavily managed by culling. One of the fundamental goals of the plan for the Greater Yellowstone Area is to maintain the ecosystem's integrity using sound science. In order to reach this goal, it must be recognized that it is a dynamic system, continually undergoing change. However, our knowledge of such changes is extremely limited. In the case of bison, our knowledge is based on nonsystematically collected historic records and modern studies of small, isolated populations. …

The Comparability Of Ancient And Modern Civilizations, John K. Hord

Comparative Civilizations Review

One of the great questions in the comparative study of civilizations has been, how many civilizations are truly comparable? Are there factors which separate and differentiate civilizations so thoroughly that no comparison between them can be useful? This paper will address the problem of "the" difference between ancient and recent civilizations. It will be proposed that the major differences exist on a range of development rather than as some kind of unbridgeable gulf, and will suggest the possibility of a format for studying this range of development mathematically.

Innovative Financing Options For Kentucky’S Transportation Infrastructure, Merl M. Hackbart

Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report

A strong linkage exists between economic growth and the availability of an adequate and efficient transportation system. Due to its location, geography and economy, this linkage — particularly in regard to highway transportation — is critical to continued economic progress in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. However, Kentucky’s ability to provide the infrastructure investments needed to be competitive in the new “global economy” is constrained by the structure of its funding mechanism, the Road Fund. During the last two decades, Road Fund revenue growth has dramatically lagged the growth of motor vehicle travel. As a consequence, Kentucky faces highway investment needs …

Sankofa: A Study Into The Teaching Of History In The Ghanian Education System: A Case Study In Cape Coast Schools, Kyla Saphir

African Diaspora ISPs

I wanted to investigate how history is taught in the Ghanaian education systems at various levels and specifically in Cape Coast schools. I believe that history teaches people who they are and where they come from and thus equips them to learn from their past and prosper due to the analysis of the accomplishments and faults of their ancestors. I was curious to see how and what Ghanaians are taught about their past since their Western style education system has been structured after the British education system. I also wanted to find out how much is taught about the African …

The Necessity Of Preventing Unilateral Responses To Water Scarcity-The Next Major Threat Against Mankind This Century, Leticia M. Diaz, Barry Hart Dubner

Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law

The article examines the legal and environmental challenges surrounding water scarcity, using the Great Lakes as a case study. It explores the tension between equitable resource utilization and sustainable development under international and regional legal frameworks. The analysis highlights the role of the International Joint Commission (IJC) in managing shared water resources and emphasizes the need for balanced approaches to address competing economic, environmental, and intergenerational concerns. The Great Lakes serve as a critical example of the complexities of managing a finite, shared resource.

The Garifuna Of Belize: Strategies Of Representation, Sharon E. Wilcox

Departmental Honors & Graduate Capstone Projects

This study considers representation within the media as a method of fostering a sense of community and identity among a group of people, as well as a strategy to achieve political and economic gains. The subject of this investigation is the Garifuna of Belize and the representation of their identity through various media outlets, including documentary film, websites, news articles, scholarly writing and trade books. Furthermore, this paper explores the development of these representations of the Garifuna as a strategy for improving the political and economic strength of the community.

Normalizing U.S.-Russian Relations, Eugene B. Rumer, Richard D. Sokolsky

Strategic Forums

This paper examines the challenges of defining a stable framework for engagement between Washington and Moscow. Past efforts to characterize the relationship as either a strategic partnership or a renewed rivalry have proven insufficient. The authors propose a pragmatic, interest-based approach that evaluates cooperation and competition on a case-by-case basis. The article highlights how enduring differences in political values, security priorities, and global objectives continue to shape bilateral interactions. While opportunities for cooperation remain in areas such as arms control and nonproliferation, they are often limited by persistent mistrust and conflicting interests. A more flexible and realistic policy, grounded in …

Expectations Of Iconographic Symbols In Third Century Christianity, David Corbet

Doctor of Ministry

Art is the avenue down which one moves to encounter the divine. It is the expression of a person's or groups spiritual experience. Through art the divine and the human meet. Within the framework of art, there are different means of expression. A symbol serves as a pointer, directing the audience towards the divine. Figurative expression depicts scenes from religious history, which carries meaning to the audience about their tradition and their history. Narrative expressions tell a story with significance to the religious community. Every religion has some type of artistic expression. This is how a religion demonstrates its own …
