Teodorico Pedrini: The Music And Letters Of An 18th-Century Missionary In China, Peter C. Allsop D. Phil., Joyce Lindorff D.M.A. Mar 2008

Teodorico Pedrini: The Music And Letters Of An 18th-Century Missionary In China, Peter C. Allsop D. Phil., Joyce Lindorff D.M.A.

Vincentian Studies

Peter Allsop and Joyce Lindorff originally intended to investigate the origin of Arcangelo Corelli’s influence on the sonatas of Teodorico Pedrini, a Vincentian who served in China’s imperial court from 1711 to 1746. He was at the center of the conflict over the Chinese Rites, which led to the suppression of the first Catholic mission to China. During their research, Allsop and Lindorff discovered a wealth of letters and diaries by or about Pedrini. His music and his capacity as court music master were “key to his unequalled intimacy with a succession of Chinese emperors.” Allsop and Lindorff review the …


Coping With Discrimination Among Mexican Descent Adolescents, Lisa M. Edwards, Andrea J. Romero Feb 2008

Coping With Discrimination Among Mexican Descent Adolescents, Lisa M. Edwards, Andrea J. Romero

College of Education Faculty Research and Publications

The current research is designed to explore the relationship among discrimination stress, coping strategies, and self-esteem among Mexican descent youth (N = 73, age 11-15 years). Results suggest that primary control engagement and disengagement coping strategies are positively associated with discrimination stress. Furthermore, self-esteem is predicted by an interaction of primary control engagement coping and discrimination stress, such that at higher levels of discrimination stress, youth who engaged in more primary control engagement coping reported higher self-esteem. The authors’ findings indicate that Mexican descent youth are actively finding ways to cope with the common experience of negative stereotypes and prejudice, …

The Cross Beyond The Wall: Protestant Christianity In Communist China, Jennifer Clapp Jan 2008

The Cross Beyond The Wall: Protestant Christianity In Communist China, Jennifer Clapp

Theses & Honors Papers

Before the days of Communist China, religions were widely accepted. This is how many religions like; Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, and Islam became present in China. Unfortunately the strong Chinese culture and dedication to Confucian principals halted this; Chinese Christians were cut off from the rest of the Christian world. This was an ongoing change and different leaders took control of China. Yet through it all Christianity hung on by a thread. When Communism was established fully, a few Protestant-Christian leaders works closely with the government leaders to establish the Three Self church and strict laws were put in place to …

Representations: Doing Asian American Rhetoric, Luming Mao, Morris Young Jan 2008

Representations: Doing Asian American Rhetoric, Luming Mao, Morris Young

All USU Press Publications

Despite tremendous growth in attention to and scholarship about Asian Americans and their cultural work, little research has emerged that focuses directly on Asian American rhetoric. Representations: Doing Asian American Rhetoric addresses this need by examining the systematic, effective use of symbolic resources by Asians and Asian Americans in social, cultural, and political contexts. Such rhetoric challenges, disrupts, and transforms the dominant European American rhetoric and it commands a sense of unity or collective identity. However, such rhetoric also embodies internal differences and even contradictions, as each specific communicative situation is informed and inflected by particularizing contexts, by different relations …

An Analysis Of Tzu Chi’S Public Communication Campaign On Body Donation, Guo-Ming Chen, Dienfang Chou, Baukiana Pan, Chien Chang Jan 2008

An Analysis Of Tzu Chi’S Public Communication Campaign On Body Donation, Guo-Ming Chen, Dienfang Chou, Baukiana Pan, Chien Chang

Communication Studies Faculty Publications

Since the 1996 establishment of the Tzu Chi Body Donation Center, located at the Medical School of Tzu Chi University, campaigning for body donation has become one of Tzu Chi’s on-going endeavors. By 2004, the Center has successfully secured more than 430 bodies and more than 14,000 pledges that outnumber all other medical schools in Taiwan. Why is it that the campaign messages could draw such an overwhelming response from the public, especially since the use of one’s body after death is taboo in traditional Chinese belief? It is the purpose of this paper to examine the communication efforts of …

Abundance And Conservation Status Of The Yangtze Finless Porpoise In The Yangtze River, China, Xiujiang Zhao, Jay Barlow, Barbara L. Taylor, Robert L. Pitman, Kexiong Wang, Zhuo Wei, Brent S. Stewart, Samuel T. Turvey, Tomonari Akamatsu, Randall R. Reeves, Ding Wang Jan 2008

Abundance And Conservation Status Of The Yangtze Finless Porpoise In The Yangtze River, China, Xiujiang Zhao, Jay Barlow, Barbara L. Taylor, Robert L. Pitman, Kexiong Wang, Zhuo Wei, Brent S. Stewart, Samuel T. Turvey, Tomonari Akamatsu, Randall R. Reeves, Ding Wang

United States Department of Commerce: Staff Publications

The Yangtze finless porpoise (Neophocaena phocaenoides asiaeorientalis) is endemic to the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, China. It is the only freshwater population of porpoises in the world and is currently listed as Endangered by IUCN. In November and December 2006 we used two boats and line transect methods to survey the entire current range of the population, except for two lakes (Poyang and Dongting). Sighting results were similar for both boats, so we pooled all data and analyzed them using two line transect models and a strip transect model. All models produced similar estimates …


The Paradox Of Confucian Determinism: Tracking The Root Causes Of Intellectual Property Rights Problem In China, 7 J. Marshall Rev. Intell. Prop. L. 454 (2008), Wei Shi Jan 2008

The Paradox Of Confucian Determinism: Tracking The Root Causes Of Intellectual Property Rights Problem In China, 7 J. Marshall Rev. Intell. Prop. L. 454 (2008), Wei Shi

UIC Review of Intellectual Property Law

This article attempts to track China’s intellectual property rights (“IPR”) enforcement problem through exploring its fundamental institutional defects that fuels impunity of, or at least fails instilling an ethos hostile to, IPR infringements. By examining China’s philosophical and institutional predisposition, this article argues that counterfeiting and piracy are not problems caused by the Confucian ethics, as the conventional wisdom underscores, but rather, among other things, a unique political phenomenon resulting from the systemic dystrophy fundamental to the institutional development. This article concludes that, to a large extent, the IPR enforcement problems in China are attributed to its unique bureaucracy characterized …

Polygyny And Female Breeding Failure Reduce Effective Population Size In The Lekking Gunnison Sage-Grouse, Julie R. Stiver, Anthony D. Apa, Thomas E. Remington, Robert M. Gibson Jan 2008

Polygyny And Female Breeding Failure Reduce Effective Population Size In The Lekking Gunnison Sage-Grouse, Julie R. Stiver, Anthony D. Apa, Thomas E. Remington, Robert M. Gibson

School of Biological Sciences: Faculty Publications

Populations with small effective sizes are at risk for inbreeding depression and loss of adaptive potential. Variance in reproductive success is one of several factors reducing effective population size (Ne) below the actual population size (N). Here, we investigate the effects of polygynous (skewed) mating and variation in female breeding success on the effective size of a small population of the Gunnison sage-grouse (Centrocercus minimus), a ground nesting bird with a lek mating system. During a two-year field study, we recorded attendance of marked birds at leks, male mating success, the reproductive success …

Control Of Rhyzopertha Dominica In Stored Rough Rice Through A Combination Of Diatomaceous Earth And Varietal Resistance, Yaowaluk Chanbang, Frank H. Arthur, Gerald E. Wilde, James E. Throne

United States Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Research Service / University of Nebraska-Lincoln: Faculty Publications

Adults of Rhyzopertha dominica (F.), the lesser grain borer, were exposed on four varieties of rough rice with Dobie indices of susceptibility of 1.1 to 1.1 (low), and four varieties with Dobie indices of susceptibility of 3.4 to 3.8 (high). The varieties with low and high Dobie indices were classified as resistant and susceptible, respectively, to R. dominica. The purpose of the study was to evaluate control of R. dominica through the use of diatomaceous earth (DE) in combination with rice varieties that were either susceptible or resistant to R. dominica. The rice was treated with varying rates of …
