The Felt Needs Of Adult Learners In Today's College Environment: The Growing Significance Of Non-Traditional Students., Antoinette Hando Jan 2008

The Felt Needs Of Adult Learners In Today's College Environment: The Growing Significance Of Non-Traditional Students., Antoinette Hando

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

A survey was used to identify the felt needs of non-traditional students. The first section identified non-traditional students and their overall demographics. In the needs analysis three major factors were found: flexibility of program requirements, time flexibility and the ability to understand the needs of non-traditional students were identified. These correlated with the literature review done on non-traditional learners. The last section dealt with their feelings concerning technology. It also was found to be comparable to the literature review, which talked about demographics, felt needs, and use of technology. Findings indicated that these nontraditional students felt that new technology was …


Gender And Racial Cues During The 2008 Democratic Party's Presidential Candidate Nomination Process: Social Responsibility In The 21St Century., Benjamin Rex Lapoe Ii Jan 2008

Gender And Racial Cues During The 2008 Democratic Party's Presidential Candidate Nomination Process: Social Responsibility In The 21St Century., Benjamin Rex Lapoe Ii

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

This study examined a segment of the 2008 Presidential election, which presents a significant political pinnacle for the United States of America. For the first time in this young democracy’s history, a white woman (Hillary Rodham Clinton) and an African American man (Barack Obama) are frontrunners for the Presidency. However, during this inspiring moment in our nation’s history, one must realize research exists suggesting that agenda setting, framing, and gender or racial cues in the media can influence voters’ opinions of minority candidates. With that in mind, this study examined how race and gender are framed during the Democratic Presidential …


Motivation To Change Parenting In Mothers Of Children With And Without Adhd: Associations With Demographic And Psychological Characteristics., Stephanie M. Wagner Jan 2008

Motivation To Change Parenting In Mothers Of Children With And Without Adhd: Associations With Demographic And Psychological Characteristics., Stephanie M. Wagner

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

Motivation to change is considered an important factor in treatment adherence and outcome, yet there is a lack of research on parental motivation to change in the child psychotherapy literature. The current study examined the internal consistency of a measure of parental motivation, the Parent Motivation Inventory (PMI) and investigated associated demographic and psychological characteristics in 61 mothers of children who exhibited varying degrees of inattentive and/or hyperactive/impulsive symptoms. Results demonstrated that the PMI has high internal consistency, can distinguish between mothers of children with and without ADHD, and that an additional 7% of variance in the PMI can be …


Development Of Fabrication Processes For Silicon And Gallium Nitride Photonic Crystal Structures., Satish Yeldandi Jan 2008

Development Of Fabrication Processes For Silicon And Gallium Nitride Photonic Crystal Structures., Satish Yeldandi

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

Photonic crystals are being extensively investigated due to their capability of controlling the properties of light by confining photons in one, two and three dimensions. The sensitivity of optical properties of photonic crystals to the changes in refractive index at one or more lattice sites makes them potential building blocks of high-sensitivity biosensors. Fabrication of photonic crystals, including crucial steps such as lithography and plasma etching, is very challenging due to the nanoscale features. ICP-RIE is one of the preferred etching techniques because of its good control over the aspect ratio, high etch rates, low surface damage and many other …

Exchange Of The Feminine: Representations Of Multiple Marginality In Contemporary West Virginia Fiction., David E. Wilson Jan 2008

Exchange Of The Feminine: Representations Of Multiple Marginality In Contemporary West Virginia Fiction., David E. Wilson

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

This study engages the short stories and novels of three contemporary fiction writers: acclaimed native West Virginians Denise Giardina and Breece D’J Pancake, and Laura Albert, a New York City native who, for a time, published under the pseudonym JT LeRoy. Using West Virginia as their settings, these authors have created Mountain State characters whose stratified marginality in heteronormative Appalachian society stems from their failure to meet traditional expectations of gender and sexuality. Those multiply marginal characters in West Virginia fiction who best establish a general accord do so through benign public personae, ancillary labor occupations and supportive kinship roles. …

How Does Culture Count In Legal Change?: A Review With A Proposal From A Social Movement Perspective, Setsuo Miyazawa Jan 2008

How Does Culture Count In Legal Change?: A Review With A Proposal From A Social Movement Perspective, Setsuo Miyazawa

Faculty Scholarship

We have in this volume four articles on legal change in China and Japan written by four distinguished authors. These articles vary with regard to subject state, specificity of issues, and breadth of analytical scope. They commonly discuss one factor, however: culture. The purpose of this Comment is to examine the way each article uses culture in its explanations of legal change. The Comment concludes with a brief suggestion, from a social movement perspective, on employing culture as an explanatory tool in a non-essentialist way.


Will Penal Populism In Japan Decline?: A Discussion, Setsuo Miyazawa Jan 2008

Will Penal Populism In Japan Decline?: A Discussion, Setsuo Miyazawa

Faculty Scholarship

I intend to play the role of discussant at a session where five papers have been presented and to draw implications from the perspective I presented in Miyazawa (2007a ). I revise my thesis about penal populism in Japan slightly using the concept of "leadership from the front "presented by Johnson .However, I still conclude that penal populism in Japan is not likely to decline in the near future.
