Camouflaged : Domestic Violence And The Military Family, Mary Porter

Capstone Projects and Master's Theses

My capstone critically examines the lifestyle of the military family - the frequent moves, the isolation from family and close friends, the long deployments, family separations, and combat training - the way military families live under a set of rules and regulations that is foreign to a civilian couple - to determine why domestic violence within the military family occurs more often than in a civilian family.

A Women's Script : Individual Recognition Through Created Community, Laurel Hunter

Capstone Projects and Master's Theses

Our perception, understanding and awareness of cultures outside US borders is defined and created by the source from which we learn the information. This Capstone looks at the differences between learning about cultural phenomena through popular versus scholarly works and whether building a global community, cross-cultural understanding and tolerance are promoted or made more difficult. The context of this discussion focuses on Nushu, a Women's Script on the brink of extinction in the Hunan province of China.

Regulation Of Endometrial Granulocyte Macrophage-Colony Stimulating Factor (Gm-Csf) In The Ewe, W. J. Mcguire, K. Imakawa, K. Tamura, C. S. R. Meka, R. K. Christenson

Roman L. Hruska U.S. Meat Animal Research Center: Reports

Granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) increases ovine interferon-tau (oIFNτ) secretion by ovine conceptuses, but endometrial production of GM-CSF has not been characterized. Endometrial GM-CSF expression was evaluated in ovariectomized ewes implanted with estradiol-17β (E₂) and/or progesterone (P₄) for 14 days, in day 14 cyclic and day 14 pregnant ewes. Relative levels of endometrial GM-CSF mRNA were 3-fold higher in E₂- and E₂/P₄-treated ewes than that of control or P₄-treated ovariectomized ewes. Levels of endometrial GM-CSF mRNA for cyclic ewes were similar to E₂- and E_{2 …}

"When I Can Read My Title Clear": Harriet Beecher Stowe And The Stowe V. Thomas Copyright Infringement Case, Melissa J. Homestead

Department of English: Faculty Publications

In 1853, Harriet Beecher Stowe filed a copyright suit against F. W. Thomas, a Philadelphia printer who had published an unauthorized German translation of Uncle Tom's Cabin in his newspaper, Die Freie Presse. Stowe brought suit in the federal circuit court in Philadelphia, thus ironically placing her claim in the hands of Justice Robert Grier, a notable enforcer of slaver-owners' interests under the Fugitive Slave Law. Grier found that Stowe's property rights in her novelistic plea for resistance to the Fugitive Slave Law were very narrow and that she could not prevent Thomas from publishing a translation without her …

The authors introduce a new analytical instrument, the Scene Function Model, as an expansion of Seymour Chatman's theoretical classification of story events into kernels and satellites.

Monstrous Youth In Suburbia: Disruption And Recovery Of The American Dream, Kristen Hoerl

Scholarship and Professional Work - Communication

Although the American Dream myth idealizes youth who grow up in suburbia as culturetypes of imminent success, the Columbine High School shootings demonstrated that all not suburban youth will grow up to succeed. The extensive news media coverage of the tragedy reflects broader anxieties about the declining status of the suburbs in American society. In the wake of the shootings, the news media created a myth of monstrous youth in suburbia that functioned to repair suburbanites’ waning faith in the myth of the American Dream.

The Talking Culture Of Teco: Communication Patterns In A Taiwanese Organization, Li-Li Chin

Iowa Journal of Communication

The goals of this study are to (1) explore how organizational members construct and reconstruct their realities through everyday speech, and (2) identify the organizational communication patterns emerging in the Chinese/Taiwanese organization. All the naturally-occurring interactions suggest that the organizational reality of TECO is that of a humanistic and harmonious small society struggling with transition. Traditional and "new" communication patterns are distributed across different contexts of organizational action. Finally, the indigenous data shows that communication patterns of a Chinese/Taiwanese organization such as TECO are not necessarily coincident with those cross-cultural studies that simply adopted Western constructs to test Chinese.

Examining The Catholic Intellectual Tradition: Issues And Perspectives, Anthony J. Cernera, Oliver J. Morgan, Ed.

Sacred Heart University Press Books

The particular concern of this volume is to explore what it means to imbue that tradition in the day-to-day life at Catholic colleges and universities. Contributions focus on such topics as the responsibilities of being stewards of the Catholic intellectual tradition, the challenges and rewards of learning and teaching within that tradition, current perceptions of Catholic identity in academia and the ongoing task of harmonizing faith and reason.

An Investigation Of Preservice Elementary Teachers' Thinking About Science, William W. Cobern, Cathleen C. Loving

Scientific Literacy and Cultural Studies Project

It is not common to find media reports on the failures of science education; nor uncommon to hear prestigious scientists publicly lament the rise of anti-science attitudes. Given the position elementary teachers have in influencing children, anti-science sentiment amongst them would be a significant concern. Hence, this article reports an investigation where preservice elementary teachers responded to the Thinking about Science survey instrument. This newly developed instrument addresses the broad relationship of science to nine important areas of society and culture and is intended to reveal the extent of views being consistent with or disagreeing with a commonly held worldview …

English Composition As A Happening, Geoffrey Sirc

All USU Press Publications

From the Introduction: "Contemporary Composition is still inflected by the epistemic turn taken in the 1980s, convincing me that we need to remember what we've forgotten—namely, how impassioned resolves and thrilling discoveries were abandoned and why. I'd like to retrace the road not taken in Composition Studies, to salvage what can still be recovered... I want to inspect the wreckage, in order to show what was the promise of the Happenings for Composition, as well as the huge gray longueur of its pale replacement, Eighties Composition. In so doing, I hope to begin a reconfiguration of our field's pre- and …

No. 09: Transnationalism And African Immigration To South Africa, Jonathan Crush, Vincent Williams

Southern African Migration Programme

The demise of formal apartheid has created new and as yet only partially understood opportunities for migration to South Africa. Legal migration from other Southern African Development Community (SADC) countries, for example, has increased almost ten-fold since 1990 to over four million visitors per year. South Africa’s (re)insertion into the global economy has brought new streams of legal and undocumented migrants from outside the SADC region and new ethnic constellations within. The easing of legal and unauthorized entry to South Africa has made the country a new destination for African asylum-seekers, long-distance traders, entrepreneurs, students and professionals (Bouillon 1996; Saasa …
