Gesture: Nonverbal Communication Between Teachers And Students, Christina Roviello Jul 2004

Gesture: Nonverbal Communication Between Teachers And Students, Christina Roviello

Theses and Dissertations

Teachers convey nonverbal messages to their class using gestures, body language, tone and physical body placement. Research shows that nonverbal messages can be very powerful tools with students. Research has also shown that nonverbal gestures paired with verbal communication enhance comprehension. This study's purpose is to find evidence that using nonverbal gestures in the classroom improves teacher direction and class attention and understanding. Data analysis shows that particular students benefit from emblems gesture in the classroom setting. Conclusions and implications of this study suggest that nonverbal communication has an influence on the classroom environment; however, further investigation is required.

A Deep Breath Before The Plunge: Undoing Miranda's Failure Before It's Too Late, Benjamin D. Cunningham Jul 2004

A Deep Breath Before The Plunge: Undoing Miranda's Failure Before It's Too Late, Benjamin D. Cunningham

Mercer Law Review

The Supreme Court's decision in Miranda v. Arizona has been and will be a lightning rod for controversy so long as it remains in effect. The decision has been lauded for its apparent protection of individual dignity from overzealous police and criticized as an unwarranted shackle on legitimate law enforcement techniques. Nevertheless, Miranda has weathered the storms and, thanks to the Supreme Court's decision in Dickerson v. United States, has endured. Unknown to most proponents or detractors, however, Miranda has had little effect on what actually occurs during police interrogations. The reasons for this are varied. First, by creating …

“If You Hit Me Again, I’Ll Hit You Back”: Conflict Management Strategies Of Individuals Experiencing Aggression During Conflicts, Loreen N. Olson, Dawn O. Braithwaite Jul 2004

“If You Hit Me Again, I’Ll Hit You Back”: Conflict Management Strategies Of Individuals Experiencing Aggression During Conflicts, Loreen N. Olson, Dawn O. Braithwaite

Department of Communication Studies: Faculty Publications

In interpersonal relationships characterized by aggression, the negotiation of conflict is especially significant. The present study examined the conflict management strategies used by 31 individuals who had experienced verbal and/or physical aggression during conflicts with their partners. Sillars’ (1986) conflict tactics coding system was used as a framework to analyze 960 pages of transcribed data. The results of this deductive content analysis indicated that the participants reported using primarily Distributive conflict strategies. Analytic induction was also used to interpret nonverbal forms of conflict management, revealing three common tactics: crying, nonverbal avoidance, and aggression. Implications for using these conflict strategies in …

Adaptation, Enactment, And Ingmar Bergman's Magic Flute, Dean W. Duncan Jul 2004

Adaptation, Enactment, And Ingmar Bergman's Magic Flute, Dean W. Duncan

BYU Studies

For all of its manifold musical glories, The Magic Flute was and is a theatrical work, meant for production and performance, and that repeatedly. As such, I will be concentrating on the opera's theatrical and cinematic elements. This article treats Ingmar Bergman's felicitous 1975 film adaptation of opera. Those inclined can find much to complain about in Bergman's cinematic version of Mozart's opera, but I would like to suggest that, with sympathy and openness, this complaining could give way to approval and great gratitude. In this Magic Flute, we have an interpretation worthy of its source, which is saying …

Gaining Compliance And Losing Weight: The Role Of The Service Provider In Health Care Services, Stephanie Dellande, Mary C. Gilly, John L. Graham Jul 2004

Gaining Compliance And Losing Weight: The Role Of The Service Provider In Health Care Services, Stephanie Dellande, Mary C. Gilly, John L. Graham

Business Faculty Articles and Research

This research provides and empirically tests a conceptualization of health care services in which customer compliance outside of the service organization is necessary for successful health outcomes. Using data from service providers and customers in a weight-loss clinic, the authors examine the provider's role in gaining customer compliance. They find that provider expertise and attitudinal homophily play a role in bringing about customer role clarity, ability, and motivation. This study demonstrates that compliance leads to goal attainment, which results in satisfaction. More important, compliance also leads to satisfaction directly; consumers who comply with program requirements have greater satisfaction with the …

A Conceptual Model About The Application Of Adaptive Management For Sustainable Development, Markus Knoflacher, U. Gigler Jul 2004

A Conceptual Model About The Application Of Adaptive Management For Sustainable Development, Markus Knoflacher, U. Gigler

International Congress on Environmental Modelling and Software

This conceptual model is based on theoretical implications and analyses of empirical examples, and focuses on how functional processes in the environmental system affect decisions taken in the social system. Complex functional relationships at several temporal and spatial scales such as climate conditions or pollutant emissions characterise functional processes in the environmental system. Actions of humans in the environmental system are crucially constrained by limited information about system conditions, and limited predictability of system development. Both constraints are not equally valid for all functional processes, and all interactions between humans and the environmental system, because diverse human activities and interests …

The Water Framework Directive requires to include public besides the water experts and policymakers into development and implementation of River Basin Management (RBM) plans (see Article 14). In sucha context, the EU research project HarmoniCOP, studies a method to improve Public Participation based onSocial Learning (SL) concepts. SL refers to the growing capacity of a social network to develop and performcollective actions. The different stakeholder groups in a basin are supposed to realize that a complex issue suchas RBM can be better resolved in a collective way, taking account the diversity of interests, of mental frames, ofknowledge and relying on …

Principles Of Human-Environment Systems (Hes) Research, Roland W. Scholz, Claudia R. Binder Jul 2004

Principles Of Human-Environment Systems (Hes) Research, Roland W. Scholz, Claudia R. Binder

International Congress on Environmental Modelling and Software

This paper presents the basic principles, applications, and a methodological discussion of the approach of Human-Environment Systems (HES). In general, HES includes all environmental and technological systems that are relevant for or affected by humans. The basic principles of the HES approach are: (1) human and environmental systems are constructed as complementary systems, (2) a hierarchy of human systems with related environmental systems are considered, (3) environmental systems are modeled in their immediate and delayed dynamic reactions to human action, (4) the behavior of the human system is modeled from a decision theoretic perspective differentiating between goal formation, strategy formation, …

Obstacles In Launching A Participatory Group Discussion And Modelling Process, S. Panebianco, Claudia Pahl-Wostl Jul 2004

Obstacles In Launching A Participatory Group Discussion And Modelling Process, S. Panebianco, Claudia Pahl-Wostl

International Congress on Environmental Modelling and Software

The combination of model-building and group discussions seems to be a promising approach to support learning processes among stakeholders involved in management problems since it allows combining factual analysis and qualitative and quantitative model simulations with an analysis of subjective perceptions and mental models. However, the step of launching such a participatory process might fail due a lack of willingness of the stakeholders to participate in the process. This paper reports about an attempt to involve a specific group of stakeholders and the problems encountered during this process. Although the stakeholders mentioned different reasons, the most important but primarily hidden …

Ecoregion Classification Using A Bayesian Approach And Model-Based Clustering, D. Pullar, S. Low Choy, W. Rochester Jul 2004

Ecoregion Classification Using A Bayesian Approach And Model-Based Clustering, D. Pullar, S. Low Choy, W. Rochester

International Congress on Environmental Modelling and Software

Ecological regions are increasingly used as a spatial unit for planning and environmentalmanagement. It is important to define these regions in a scientifically defensible way to justify any decisionsmade on the basis that they are representative of broad environmental assets. The paper describes amethodology and tool to identify cohesive bioregions. The methodology applies an elicitation process toobtain geographical descriptions for bioregions, each of these is transformed into a Normal density estimateon environmental variables within that region. This prior information is balanced with data classification ofenvironmental datasets using a Bayesian statistical modelling approach to objectively map ecological regions.The method is called …

Relating Choice Of Agent Rationality To Agent Model Uncertainty - An Experimental Study, D. E. Reusser, M. Hare, Claudia Pahl-Wostl Jul 2004

Relating Choice Of Agent Rationality To Agent Model Uncertainty - An Experimental Study, D. E. Reusser, M. Hare, Claudia Pahl-Wostl

International Congress on Environmental Modelling and Software

The importance of model uncertainties arising from different assumptions about human behavior as opposed to parameter uncertainty is often neglected in integrated models for policy development. In this study, so-called agent model uncertainty is estimated in relation to the choice of agent rationality. A classification scheme is proposed which allows us organize decision models according to their deviation from full rationality. Five decision models covering the whole range from full rationality to maximum deviation from rationality (random decisions) are classified. They are then used in an existing integrated model simulating crop fertilizer usage and related threshold policies for groundwater protection. …

Heuristics To Characterise Human Behaviour In Agent Based Models, Claudia Pahl-Wostl, Eva Ebenhöh Jul 2004

Heuristics To Characterise Human Behaviour In Agent Based Models, Claudia Pahl-Wostl, Eva Ebenhöh

International Congress on Environmental Modelling and Software

Human behaviour is one of the key factors to understand the causes for common pool resourceproblems and to develop policies to promote more sustainable resource management regimes. Agent basedmodels can help to investigate the role of important processes in this respect such as factors determining thedegree of trust and cooperation in a group. We have chosen a pragmatic approach to represent humanbehaviour by assuming that agents can be characterised by a set of attributes and their behaviour can bedescribed by a set of simple decision heuristics. Individual agents differ in their importance of attributes (e.g.fairness, cooperativeness, trust), in their rules …

Simulating Human Behaviour: The Invisible Choreography Of Self–Referential Systems, David Batten Jul 2004

Simulating Human Behaviour: The Invisible Choreography Of Self–Referential Systems, David Batten

International Congress on Environmental Modelling and Software

Challenges arise when it comes to capturing complex patterns of human behaviour in agent-based simulations. For example, human beings are not limited to one identity, to local levels of awareness or to acting on predetermined rules. Seemingly immune from these difficulties are some self-referential problems – situations where agents’ forecasts act to create the world they are trying to forecast. The emergent complexity in these systems results more from ways in which agents interact and react rather than from their individual idiosyncrasies. A well-known example is the Bar problem, whose collective regularities are relatively insensitive to the vagaries of individuals. …

A Patch Hath Smaller Patches: Delineating Ecological Neighborhoods For Parasites, Derek Zelmer, John R. Seed Jul 2004

A Patch Hath Smaller Patches: Delineating Ecological Neighborhoods For Parasites, Derek Zelmer, John R. Seed

Faculty Publications

Use of the host individual as a boundary for parasite populations and communities provides an unambiguous spatial unit that is useful for pattern description, but this framework precludes consideration of the host landscape and within-host population dynamics. Recognizing host individuals as spatially and temporally complex landscapes requires modified concepts of parasite populations and communities. An outline of the currently accepted hierarchies of parasite populations and communities is provided on the basis of ecological neighborhoods that are delineated by discrete habitat patches or functional dynamics (or both), as opposed to host individuals. This parasite-based framework accommodates consideration of both within- and …

The Constitutional Floor Doctrine And The Right To A Speedy Trial, Darren Allen Jul 2004

The Constitutional Floor Doctrine And The Right To A Speedy Trial, Darren Allen

Campbell Law Review

This article will begin with a quick description of the historical origins of the speedy trial right and the events marking its quiet evolution into a hallmark of our criminal justice system. It will then move into a discussion of the decisions articulating principles of new federalism which require that state courts defer to the federal interpretations of fundamental rights, before discussing of the controlling Supreme Court cases fashioning the test by which violations of the right are measured. Next, this article will showcase the critical differences between Spivey and Barker to demonstrate why North Carolina's speedy trial test intrudes …
