Unearthing Personal History: Autoethnography & Artifacts Inform Research On Youth Risk Taking, Diane Conrad

Journal of Social Theory in Art Education

I begin from the premise that research will always be affected by the subjectivity of the researcher, in the choice of research topic and in the interpretation of research findings. My study using Popular Theatre as a participatory, arts-based approach to exploring the risky experiences of youth was further informed by an autoethnographic investigation into my own experiences as a youth, an unearthing of my personal history through autobiographical writing and a (re)collection of artifacts from my youth. My arts-based methods adding a messiness to the research process and findings that reflects the complexity of the issues under investigation.

Comparison Of Education Level, Intelligence Quotient, And Higher Education Courses Of Individuals Who Commit Violent Crimes And Those Individuals Who Commit Nonviolent Crimes In Arkansas, W. Andranette Anderson-Blackwell

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to examine and compare education levels, intelligence quotients, and college courses taken or are being taken by criminal offenders who commit violent versus nonviolent crimes. One hundred males and 100 females from the states' correctional facilities were used as the sample. The sample was stratified according to four characteristics: type of crime committed (violent or nonviolent), ethnicity, age, and gender. The null hypothesis tested in this study was that there is no statistically significant difference, at the 0.05 level, in the educational levels or intelligence quotients of criminal offenders as to age, ethnicity, gender, …

Structural And Functional Adaptations To Extreme Temperatures In Psychrophilic, Mesophilic, And Thermophilic Dna Ligases, Daphné Georlette, Benjamin Damien, Vinciane Blaise, Eric Depiereux, Vladimir N. Uversky, Charles Gerday, Georges Feller

Molecular Medicine Faculty Publications

Psychrophiles, host of permanently cold habitats, display metabolic fluxes comparable to those exhibited by mesophilic organisms at moderate temperatures. These organisms have evolved by producing, among other peculiarities, cold-active enzymes that have the properties to cope with the reduction of chemical reaction rates induced by low temperatures. The emerging picture suggests that these enzymes display a high catalytic efficiency at low temperatures through an improved flexibility of the structural components involved in the catalytic cycle, whereas other protein regions, if not implicated in catalysis, may be even more rigid than their mesophilic counterparts. In return, the increased flexibility leads to …

The Evolving E-Business Strategy: Lessons Learned, Anand Jeyaraj, Marius Janson

Management Information Systems Faculty Publications

Bricks-and-mortar companies wishing to create value-added Internet services do so in a business environment that is characterized by great uncertainty and, hence, formulating a coherent business strategy is exceedingly challenging. This paper presents a case study based analysis of the evolving eBusiness strategy of a bricks-and mortar grocer contrasted with the strategies of other competitors. The grocery company took a logical, measured, incremental, and, ultimately, successful approach to its eBusiness strategy formulation, development, and implementation. Our case study suggests that in an environment characterized by chaotic change bricks-and-mortar companies can benefit from a strategy informed by organizational learning and eBusiness …

Beyond The Reality Of Injury And Statistical Death: An Internship Experience In Forensic Economics, Henrietta Iranyi

Masters Culminating Experiences (1993-2011)

Day after day, people get terminated, injured, or even killed. In forensic economics, more specifically, in personal injury and wrongful death litigation, the injured party is often allowed to receive compensation for the economic losses suffered. It is the job of an economic expert to evaluate the damages in the different personal injury and wrongful death cases. The following report demonstrates three different situations when economic damage evaluation would be performed by an expert. Two of the cases evaluate lost earnings (including fringe benefits) and lost support to the injured person and/or the immediate surviving family members. The third case …

Revisiting The Impact Of California's Mandatory Custody Mediation Program On Victims Of Domestic Violence Through A Feminist Positionality Lens, Lauri Boxer-Macomber

St. Thomas Law Review

In 1981, California became the first state in the country to enact mandatory child custody mediation legislation. Today, all family law cases, even those with histories or allegations of domestic violence, are subject to mediation. The legislative intent in promulgating the mandatory custody mediation program was noble. The program was designed to reduce animosity between parents, develop agreements that keep children's best interests paramount, and allow children close and continuing contact with both their parents. However, the question of whether mediation is an appropriate process to use in cases of domestic violence has been widely debated. A significant amount of …
