Teaching English Language Learner Students In Us Mainstream Schools: Intersections Of Language, Pedagogy, And Power, Katya A. Karathanos
Teaching English Language Learner Students In Us Mainstream Schools: Intersections Of Language, Pedagogy, And Power, Katya A. Karathanos
Faculty Publications
This study explored to what extent two groups of mainstream teachers in the midwestern region of the USA with differing degrees of English Language Learner (ELL) specific universitypreparation reportedly engaged in practises that incorporated the native languages (L1) of ELL students in instruction. The study further examined specific strategies reported by mainstream teachers in promoting L1 use in instruction as well as challenges identified in implementing this practise. The study utilized a mixed-method design that included analyses of survey data from a quantitative study (n=227) and qualitative analyses of teacher discourse from course documents and open-ended survey questions. Findings indicated …
Seasonal Distribution Of Dissolved Inorganic Carbon And Net Community Production On The Bering Sea Shelf, J. T. Mathis, J. N. Cross, N. R. Bates, S. Bradley Moran, M. W. Lomas, C. W. Mordy, P. J. Stabeno

Graduate School of Oceanography Faculty Publications
In order to assess the current state of net community production (NCP) in the southeastern Bering Sea, we measured the spatio-temporal distribution and controls on dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) concentrations in spring and summer of 2008 across six shelf domains defined by differing biogeochemical characteristics. DIC concentrations were tightly coupled to salinity in spring and ranged from ~1900 μmoles kg−1 over the inner shelf to ~2400 μmoles kg−1 in the deeper waters of the Bering Sea. In summer, DIC concentrations were lower due to dilution from sea ice melt, terrestrial inputs, and primary production. Concentrations were found to …
The Partnership Approach To Environmental Governance: The Case Of The Moor Trees Partnership Network, Clive Bastin
The Partnership Approach To Environmental Governance: The Case Of The Moor Trees Partnership Network, Clive Bastin
School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences Theses
Academic discussion of policy-making and governing indicates a significant shift in the model of governance away from top-down state control to the bottom-up approach of engaging non-state actors (Goodwin and Painter, 1996; Jessop, 1998; Stoker, 1993, 1998). Central to governance theory are new forms of policy organisation, in effect, a shift from state monopoly of decision-making towards partnering with non-state (and, therefore, non-elected) actors for the formulation and delivery of sustainability objectives. It is argued that these partnerships are a key aspect of governance, which, in turn has become one of the main themes in environmental politics (Imrie and Raco, …
Challenging Compulsory Admission To Hospital Under The Mental Health Act 1983, Harry Perrin
Challenging Compulsory Admission To Hospital Under The Mental Health Act 1983, Harry Perrin
The Plymouth Law and Criminal Justice Review
The Mental Health Act 1983 provides for compulsory admission to hospital, under criteria designed to ensure individuals are not detained wrongly. This article examines the primary legal means by which compulsory admission can be challenged. Habeas corpus and judicial review offer means of examining the legality of a decision, based on the decision-making procedure. The efficacy of these mechanisms in mental health cases has come under scrutiny from the European Court of Human Rights. The Mental Health Review Tribunal conversely is equipped to examine legality based on the merits of the decision. The potential for conflict here, however, lies in …
Gender Based Crimes At The International Court, Sophie O'Connell
Gender Based Crimes At The International Court, Sophie O'Connell
The Plymouth Law and Criminal Justice Review
The International Criminal Court (ICC) was established in 2002 and its Statute (Rome Statute1 ) was heralded as an advanced enumeration of gender based crimes. However, in the three cases before the Court in which charges have been confirmed: The Prosecutor v Thomas Lubanga Dyilo2 (Lubanga), The Prosecutor v Germain Katanga and Mathieu Ngudjolo Chii 3 (Katanga and Ngudjolo) and The Prosecutor v Jean-Pierre Bemba Gombo4 (Bemba) there are either no charges for gender based crimes as in Lubanga5 or the charges are not comprehensive. This article examines why despite the extensive provision in the Rome Statute the ICC is …
An Investigation Into Sustainable Forest Policies And Practices In Syria, Rim Rateb Al Berni
An Investigation Into Sustainable Forest Policies And Practices In Syria, Rim Rateb Al Berni
School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences Theses
Appreciation of how forest land can be managed in a sustainable way in arid and semi-arid zones (ASAZs) of centralized countries is limited. Accordingly, this thesis seeks to analyse the role of government and communities, including women, in the formulation and implementation of sustainable forest management (SFM) policy and practices in the semi-arid environment of Syria where such land is limited in extent (e.g. 3% forest and 57% rangeland) and yet where its high biodiversity value is of international significance. The thesis employs a variety of methods: a case study approach (Syria); a questionnaire (i.e. 142 respondents); face-to-face interviews (i.e. …
Regulating Geopolitical Space: Eu Interaction With East Africa, Veit Klemens Bachmann
Regulating Geopolitical Space: Eu Interaction With East Africa, Veit Klemens Bachmann
School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences Theses
Relations with developing countries have been a field of collective European policy for more than fifty years. Yet, European development policy remains fragmented; conducted on different levels through a variety of actors with multiple instruments applied in various policy fields. Articulations of Europe's collective role in the world first emerged in the 1970s under the idea of Europe as a civilian power (Duchene 1972, 1973b). These initial elaborations have served as a key point of departure in political and academic debates on the international identity and role of an integrated/integrating Europe (see for example Solana 2002; Ferrero- Waldner 2007; also …
Universal Human Rights In The Law Of The United States, Mortimer N.S. Sellers
Universal Human Rights In The Law Of The United States, Mortimer N.S. Sellers
All Faculty Scholarship
This Article discusses the relationship in U.S. law between State, Federal, and international authorities on universal human rights. All U.S. State constitutions and the Federal Constitution recognize the "inherent" or "inalienable" rights of humanity. Yet despite having long accepted the binding force of universal human rights, U.S. courts and public officials have been hesitant to recognize non-U.S. authorities when identifying, interpreting, or enforcing these rights in practice. The U.S. government and courts view most international treaties and declarations concerning universal human rights as simple restatements of existing constitutional guarantees. U.S. courts and public officials have generally weighed foreign evidence of …
Lrw Program Design: A Manifesto For The Future, Eric Easton
Lrw Program Design: A Manifesto For The Future, Eric Easton
All Faculty Scholarship
All of us have, at one time or another, had occasion to consider, or reconsider, our program model. The trigger may have been a new dean; the prospect of a sabbatical inspection; a budget crisis or financial windfall; a faculty champion or saboteur; some-thing we learned at a Legal Writing Institute (LWI) or Association of Legal Writing Directors conference; or merely the cycle of bureaucratic reorganization. Those reconsiderations have led to a great diversity of Legal Research and Writing (LRW) program models: two-, three-, four-, and all-semester programs; adjunct-, contract-, and tenure-track staffing; and directors, co-directors, and no directors. Reconsiderations …
Sex Representation On The Bench: Legitimacy And International Criminal Courts, Nienke Grossman
Sex Representation On The Bench: Legitimacy And International Criminal Courts, Nienke Grossman
All Faculty Scholarship
This essay examines the relationship between legitimacy and the presence of both male and female judges on international criminal court benches. It argues that sex representation – an approximate reflection of the ratio of the sexes in the general population – on the bench is an important contributor to legitimacy of international criminal courts. First, it proposes that sex representation affects normative legitimacy because men and women bring different perspectives to judging. Consequently, without both sexes, adjudication is inherently biased. Second, even if one rejects the proposition that men and women "think differently", sex representation affects sociological legitimacy because sex …
Perception Of Accents And Dialects In Adults And Infants, Joseph Patrick Butler
Perception Of Accents And Dialects In Adults And Infants, Joseph Patrick Butler
Other Faculty of Science and Engineering Theses
This thesis has been undertaken with the purpose of investigating how adult speech processing systems are affected by. and how they cope with, the presence of different regional and foreign accents in speech, and to investigate the developmental origins of adult accent perception capabilities. Experiments 1 to 4 were designed to investigate the long term effects of exposure to different accents, and whether short term adaptation to an accent was possible, using a lexical decision task. The results demonstrated an effect of accent familiarity but no short term adaptation was evident. Experiments 5 to 7 investigated the short term effects …
Communicating Marine Environmental Health: Connecting Science, Social And Policy Values, Rebecca Louise Jefferson
Communicating Marine Environmental Health: Connecting Science, Social And Policy Values, Rebecca Louise Jefferson
Other Faculty of Science and Engineering Theses
Human activities are degrading marine ecosystems and undermining the ecological functions and processes which provide valued goods and services. European and UK marine policy developments aim to implement the Ecosystem Approach to support better management of activities and maintain the health of regional seas. Current public perceptions of the UK marine environment are overwhelmingly negative, creating a barrier to engaging society with marine environmental issues and policy. This thesis conducts a study of the attributes of a suite of 72 UK marine species to identify those which contribute most to marine ecological health. The findings show that structurally complex species …
A Narrative In Relief: The Historiography Of English Modern Painting (1910-1915), From The 1910s To The 1950s, Carol Frances Brand
A Narrative In Relief: The Historiography Of English Modern Painting (1910-1915), From The 1910s To The 1950s, Carol Frances Brand
Other Faculty of Arts, Humanities and Business Theses
The groups of painters in England who experimented with new visual expressions of modernity between 1910 and 1915 are the subject of this historiographical research. More precisely, the accounts of Vorticism, Bloomsbury post-Impressionism and the modern art of painters associated with Sickert, (principally the Camden Town Group), have been critically examined over a forty year period in order to trace the narrative of their place in contemporary art criticism and their entry into histories of what soon became the recent past. This textually-based methodology has produced an insight into the forces acting upon the critical reception of a particular period …
Visualising 'The Waste Land': Discovering A Praxis Of Adaptation, Sally Waterman
Visualising 'The Waste Land': Discovering A Praxis Of Adaptation, Sally Waterman
Other Faculty of Arts, Humanities and Business Theses
This research examines the issues and visual processes that arise in the production of self-representations derived from literary texts. The construction of a series of photographic and video installations drawing upon T. S Eliot’s poem 'The Waste Land' (1922) allowed for the exploration and analysis of how literature functions as a device to represent autobiographical experience within my media arts practice. The study considered the relevance and usage of the literary source in relation to specific adaptation procedures, in terms of what complexities were encountered and how these were understood. Whilst orthodox film adaptation provided a theoretical framework for initial …
Shifting Interfaces: Art Research At The Intersections Of Live Performance And Technology, Scott Delahunta
Shifting Interfaces: Art Research At The Intersections Of Live Performance And Technology, Scott Delahunta
Other Faculty of Arts, Humanities and Business Theses
This collection of published works is an outcome of my practice-led inter-disciplinary collaborative artistic research into deepening understanding of creative process in the field of contemporary dance. It comprises thirty written works published from 1999 to 2007 in various formats and platforms. This collection is framed by a methodological discussion that provides insight into how this research has intersected over time with diverse fields of practice including contemporary dance, digital and new media arts and non-art domains such as cognitive and social science. Fields are understood in the context of this research to be largely constituted out of the expert …
Twig Dances: Improvisation Performance As Ecological Practice, Malaika Sarco-Thomas
Twig Dances: Improvisation Performance As Ecological Practice, Malaika Sarco-Thomas
Other Faculty of Arts, Humanities and Business Theses
ecology by analyzing data collected from a series of experiments in improvisation. Conducted in a number of locations in Europe and Asia, these experiments examine the usefulness of improvisation performance practices to notions of “ecology” and common understandings of humans’ relationships to our environment. Using “ecology” to describe an investigation of interrelationship as well as a commitment to act with an awareness of one’s actions in the social, mental and natural spheres discussed by Felix Guattari (2000), I outline ways contemporary improvisation practices can facilitate this investigation. To do this I draw on my own experience as a dancer at …
In Momentum: The Navigation, Narration, And Negotiation Of Continuing Professional Development By Mid-Career Artists In South West England, Karen Mary Smith
In Momentum: The Navigation, Narration, And Negotiation Of Continuing Professional Development By Mid-Career Artists In South West England, Karen Mary Smith
Other Faculty of Arts, Humanities and Business Theses
This thesis explores the Continuing Professional Development (CPD) of mid-career artists in England and the South West of England in particular during 2000 to 2010. It identifies what their needs are and asks what CPD means to them; how they navigate their careers through their practice; how they articulate their needs; and how they negotiate to fulfil those needs. It examines to what extent the providers’ thinking about, and provision of, CPD in the region is aligned with the needs of the artists themselves. The individual narratives of artists are represented at the centre of this research. The research was …
Traces, Boundaries, Surfaces: An Investigation Through Art Practice Of Institutional Sites With Particular Reference To A Former Lunatic Asylum, Sarah Bennett
Other Faculty of Arts, Humanities and Business Theses
This doctoral research project by art practice examines a former site of exclusion, a nineteenth-century county pauper lunatic asylum, in particular its methods of containment and coercion. It involves an initial unearthing of narratives relating to the site's histories, including its recent redevelopment as a gated residential community, and consideration of other similar institutional settings. An exploration is subsequently developed through appropriation and interrogation of spatial and durational processes involved in selected mechanisms of control, and the impact of their repetition on those present, constituting the core of this practice-based research, and evidenced in the artworks arising from the enquiry. …
The Habitual Eccentricities Of The Solons Of Staffordshire: An Investigation Of The Circumstances Surrounding The Parliamentary Enquiry Into The Ill-Treatment Of Mrs Eliza Price Of Brierley Hill, 1845, David Cox
The Plymouth Law and Criminal Justice Review
This article investigates the circumstances surrounding a dramatic petition read out in the House of Commons in the late spring of 1845 which detailed the alleged ill-treatment of a heavily pregnant young married woman from Brierley Hill, Staffordshire by two parish constables acting upon the instructions of a county magistrate. What began as a minor squabble in two competing provincial magistrates' courts in the rapidly urbanizing Black Country resulted in a Parliamentary Enquiry and quickly escalated into a nationally aired debate on the capability and legality of the methods used by both the provincial magistracy and police to arrest, detain …
"A Mysterious, Arcane And Unique Corner Of Our Constitution": The Law Relating To The Duchy Of Cornwall, John Kirkhope
"A Mysterious, Arcane And Unique Corner Of Our Constitution": The Law Relating To The Duchy Of Cornwall, John Kirkhope
The Plymouth Law and Criminal Justice Review
Historically, legally and constitutionally the Duchy of Cornwall has been consistently referred to as 'simply' a 'private estate' allowing it to enjoy a privileged status with significant benefits and concessions. This article argues that this is a somewhat anachronistic position and one that demands further investigation not least because of the opaque nature of the institution and its accountability within a twenty-first century constitutional framework.
R V Southampton And Fatal Medical Negligence: An Anomaly Or A Sign Of Things To Come?, Gavin Ruddy
R V Southampton And Fatal Medical Negligence: An Anomaly Or A Sign Of Things To Come?, Gavin Ruddy
The Plymouth Law and Criminal Justice Review
A review of statistics concerning fatal medical negligence in the NHS shows that, despite fears of a 'compensation culture' and the right to life protected by Human Rights legislation, only about one in every 1,000 such cases is investigated by the courts. This appears to be largely due to very poor reporting of adverse incidents by health authorities. However, as a result of recent healthcare scandals, the reporting of incidents is expected to significantly increase in the near future. The case of R v Southampton University Hospitals NHS Trust 2006 illustrates the striking effect that enhanced levels of scrutiny can …
Purdy: The First Step On The Road Towards Assisted Suicide, Laura Sayer
Purdy: The First Step On The Road Towards Assisted Suicide, Laura Sayer
The Plymouth Law and Criminal Justice Review
This article considers how likely it is that English law will be amended in the near future to provide legal recognition and acceptance of assisted suicide in light of the 2009 House of Lords decision in Purdy. The extent to which Purdy has acted as a catalyst to generate formal legislative amendment is explored in the light of recent attempts to achieve a change in the law. Within this context the underlying and conflicting arguments of those in support and against the legalisation of assisted suicide are examined.
