St. Ambrose And The Architecture Of The Churches Of Northern Italy : Ecclesiastical Architecture As A Function Of Liturgy., Sylvia Crenshaw Schneider 1948-

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This thesis argues that the architecture of the churches of northern Italy that were constructed during the fifth and sixth centuries reflected the influence and vision of Ambrose, bishop of Milan (374-397), whose spiritual authority, theologically and liturgically, militantly extended the ecclesiastical authority of the see of Milan. In particular, this thesis demonstrates that the hegemony of the see of Milan in northern Italy was implemented in the architectural accommodation of the distinctive Ambrosian liturgy of Milan. To develop this argument, this thesis has adopted an integrated approach to the political and ecclesiastical history of northern Italy in the fourth …

Computing For The Masses: Extending The Computer Science Curriculum With Information Technology Literacy, Jorge Pérez, Meg C. Murray

Faculty Articles

Enrollments in computer science programs continue to drop as demand for workers skilled in computing increases. Information technology scholars face the ironic challenge of attracting more students into computing disciplines in the age of ubiquitous computing. This paper chronicles a decision by a department of computer science and information systems to offer an information technology literacy course as a service to its institution. Educational and curricular justifications for the course progressed in parallel with recognition of the course's strategic value to the department in the face of sharp declines in the number of students majoring in CS or IS. Following …

From Paper Dolls To The Presidency: A Collective Case Study Of The Childhood Years And Life Experiences Of Five Female College And University Presidents, Regina M. Toman

College of Education and Human Sciences: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research

The purpose of this collective case study was to understand how five female presidents of small American colleges and universities perceived and described their childhood years and the life experiences that characterized their career paths. Data was collected through a series of semi-structured, open-ended, oral history interviews and the review of personal and professional documents such as vitae, speeches, and publications.

Personal narratives highlight the people, places, and experiences characteristic of each participant’s childhood years. The study presents a chronology of the life course experiences characteristic of each participant’s career path and in-depth analyses of turning point experiences and epiphanies. …

"An Almost Single Inference": Kant's Deduction Of The Categories Reconsidered, Konstantin Pollok

Faculty Publications

By taking into account some texts published between the first and the second edition of the Critique of Pure Reason that have been neglected by most of those who have dealt with the deduction of the categories, I argue that the core of the deduction is to be identified as the 'almost single inference from the precisely determined definition of a judgment in general,' which Kant adumbrates in the Metaphysical Foundations in order to 'make up for the deficiency' of the A-deduction. Whereas the first step of the B-deduction is an attempt to show that the manifold of an intuition …

Auto Updater Using Web Services, Vineel Vemula

Masters Theses & Doctoral Dissertations

The objective of this project is to develop a software application which when included in any software will provide the feature of automatic updatability. One of the serious problems software industries are currently facing is the faulty and error prone nature of the software being developed. Such faulty software when having an ability to update itself automatically as soon as an update or patch is released by the vendors will be more desirable by the customers or the end users. This project develops a platform dependant application which can be included in any software that supports the Microsoft.NET framework.

Shawnee Community College Online Course Catalog, Helen M. Dunn

Masters Theses & Doctoral Dissertations

Shawnee Community College, a rural community college in the southernmost portion of southern Illinois, needed an avenue to provide accurate catalog information to prospective students, current students, faculty and staff, and the community. The implementation of such a catalog was becoming more critical with the expansion of program offerings to include degrees sought through online means alone. The SCC Online Catalog project was chosen by the institution to provide a solution to the current catalog situation and a project plan was formed. After identifying platform options, the project team and the identified key stakeholders chose to utilize ASP.NET 2.0 along …

“Poor Fools, Nothing But Bellies” (Theo 26-27): Eating Imagery In Hesiod As Personification Of Oppression, Kimberly Flint-Hamilton

Journal of the Black Catholic Theological Symposium

Delivered during the 1999 meeting at the University of Notre Dame, this paper discusses the symbolic power of food imagery, especially its use in the cultural construction of humanity and in the process of dehumanization of oppressed groups. Tracing the use of food and eating imagery to the early seventh century BCE Greek poet Hesiod, Flint-Hamilton demonstrates the importance of studying early Classical texts to help us better understand modern-day oppression and the legacy of slavery.

The Implications Of Critical Race Theory (Crt) On Two Significant Findings Of A Study Of Black Catholics On The Social Frontier, Robert Bartlett

Journal of the Black Catholic Theological Symposium

Delivered during the 2007 meeting at St. Meinrad Archabbey, Bartlett discusses the use of Critical Race Theory (CRT) on qualitative research projects involving marginalized persons, particularly African American Catholics in predominantly white parishes. He concludes that CRT calls us to action to end racism. That call must be heard especially by Catholic Church leadership.

藉由線上網路與Phs系統提昇臨床醫學教育教與學雙向回饋, 嘉德 林, 錫金 吳, 戊忠 沈, 世傑 廖, 崇豪 蔡, 正介 林

Journal of Medical Education

目的：回饋是醫學教育的核心，也是臨床教師的必備技能。除了自我評量外，學生也必須向其帶領學習的師長反應其學習狀況。因此不論實習醫學生或住院醫師都期待能夠自教師獲得學習的回饋以改進其臨床表現，這也是臨床教師的基本責任。然而傳統回饋方式可能相當耗時，而且在臨床訓練計劃的安排上並不適當。根據2004年台灣醫學教育報告，部份醫學中心每學期只以問卷進行一次回饋調查，這樣回饋次數不足的現象，可能會造成訓練過程或結果出現缺陷，若能提昇教與學回饋的機制，將有助於國內醫學教育的改革與進步。方法：中國醫藥大學附設醫院嘗試使用線上網路系統結合目前醫院廣泛使用的個人手持式電話系統(Personal Handy-phone System, PHS)，來對實習醫學生及住院醫師的學習歷程進行即時線上回饋，藉以改善臨床醫學教育的雙向回饋。負責醫學教育的行政人員也可以透過此系統即時掌握學生的學習狀況及科部的教學情形。結論：整合網際網路及無線傳呼系統，可以促進臨床教師進行回饋教學，使臨床醫學教育得以持續品質改善。

Factors That Influence The Association Between Adult Attachment And Marital Satisfaction, Daniel Leroy Hatch

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Adult attachment theory offers a promising conceptual framework for understanding the psychological and contextual factors that contribute to marital satisfaction. A consistent association has been found between adult attachment dimensions and marital satisfaction. The current study examined several mediating mechanisms that may explain the relationship between adult attachment dimensions and marital satisfaction. Specifically, relationship expectations, four types of responses to accommodative dilemmas (exit, neglect, voice, and loyalty), and three forms of empathy (empathic concern, perspective taking, empathic personal distress) were hypothesized to mediate the relationship between adult attachment and marital satisfaction.

Self-report data were collected from both partners of 193 …

A Novel Authentication And Validation Mechanism For Analyzing Syslogs Forensically, Steena D.S. Monteiro

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

This research proposes a novel technique for authenticating and validating syslogs for forensic analysis. This technique uses a modification of the Needham Schroeder protocol, which uses nonces (numbers used only once) and public keys. Syslogs, which were developed from an event-logging perspective and not from an evidence-sustaining one, are system treasure maps that chart out and pinpoint attacks and attack attempts. Over the past few years, research on securing syslogs has yielded enhanced syslog protocols that focus on tamper prevention and detection. However, many of these protocols, though efficient from a security perspective, are inadequate when forensics comes into play. …
