The Effectiveness Of The University Interscholastic League One-Act Play Competition As An Extracurricular Activity, David Christopher Rout Jan 2010

The Effectiveness Of The University Interscholastic League One-Act Play Competition As An Extracurricular Activity, David Christopher Rout

Open Access Theses & Dissertations

In Texas the University Interscholastic League has had a significant impact in Theatre Education through their annual competitive One-Act Play Competition. In educational climates dominated by No Pass-No Play and TAKS Testing some schools may question the effectiveness of the UIL competition as an effective activity. This paper addresses this concern, a measurement of how effective UIL One Act Play is how FERPA is impacting research into UIL events.


Disquietude, Pamela A. Caughey Jan 2010

Disquietude, Pamela A. Caughey

Graduate Student Theses, Dissertations, & Professional Papers

ARTIST STATEMENT In a post 9/11 world, the global war on terrorism influences our thinking and casts a perpetual shadow that is inescapable. We live in a state of disquietude. Amidst unspeakable events and traumas, we experience censored media, invasion of privacy in the name of heightened "homeland security," eroded freedom of speech, and constant rhetoric serving the politics of fear. Art in the age of terrorism is an attempt to bring interpretation and meaning to these timely issues by portraying multiple perspectives, which address the philosophical, social, political and cultural interventions that the war against terrorism has created. It …


Recollection, Rebecca Gehres Weed Jan 2010

Recollection, Rebecca Gehres Weed

Graduate Student Theses, Dissertations, & Professional Papers

Recollect is an investigation of personal histories and myths relative to the experience of time and willful manipulation of said time. Depicted in the traditional medium of oil painting an autobiographical account is laid out. Not in chronological order, nor in any sense depicting actual events, these paintings are an attempt to identify and recreate distinguishing factors in my life. Acquiring a personal mythology is the prerogative of any and all people. History on a global scale has been written and rewritten under the influence of many factors. The factors that cause us to manipulate our own personal pasts are …


Expressive Motion Synthesis For Robot Actors In Robot Theatre, Mathias I. Sunardi Jan 2010

Expressive Motion Synthesis For Robot Actors In Robot Theatre, Mathias I. Sunardi

Dissertations and Theses

Lately, personal and entertainment robotics are becoming more and more common. In this thesis, the application of entertainment robots in the context of a Robot Theatre is studied. Specifically, the thesis focuses on the synthesis of expressive movements or animations for the robot performers (Robot Actors). The novel paradigm emerged from computer animation is to represent the motion data as a set of signals. Thus, preprogrammed motion data can be quickly modified using common signal processing techniques such as multiresolution filtering and spectral analysis. However, manual adjustments of the filtering and spectral methods parameters, and good artistic skills are still …


Portland's Independent Music Scene: The Formation Of Community Identities And Alternative Urban Cultural Landscapes, Rebecca Elizabeth Ball Jan 2010

Portland's Independent Music Scene: The Formation Of Community Identities And Alternative Urban Cultural Landscapes, Rebecca Elizabeth Ball

Dissertations and Theses

Portland has a rich, active, and fluid music culture which is constantly being (re)created and (re)defined by a loose network of local musicians who write, record, produce, promote, distribute, and perform their music locally (and sometimes regionally, nationally, and internationally) and local residents, or audiences, who engage in local musical practices. Independent ("indie") local music making in Portland, which is embedded in DIY (do it yourself) values, creates alternative cultural places and landscapes in the city and is one medium through which some people represent themselves in the community. These residents not only perform, consume, promote, and distribute local music, …

Burnout In Psychiatric Nursing: Possible Protective Factors, Renee Madathil Jan 2010

Burnout In Psychiatric Nursing: Possible Protective Factors, Renee Madathil

Graduate Student Theses, Dissertations, & Professional Papers

The phenomenon of burnout is composed of feelings of low personal accomplishment, cynical attitudes, and negative self-evaluation and is considered a consequence of experiences at work (Maslach, Jackson, & Leiter, 1996). Although employees in several different occupations are likely to experience burnout, nurses are considered to be a high-risk group (Miller, Reesor, McCarrey, & Leikin, 1995). Considering the amount of direct client contact that nurses have, it is important to consider ways in which we can protect this group from experiencing the effects of burnout. Leadership style of supervisors in the setting, and the way the institution fosters autonomy, appear …


Taming The Wild: On Womanhood, Nation And Nature In Ann-Marie Macdonald's Fall On Your Knees And The Way The Crow Flies, Yvonne Michelle Hammond Jan 2010

Taming The Wild: On Womanhood, Nation And Nature In Ann-Marie Macdonald's Fall On Your Knees And The Way The Crow Flies, Yvonne Michelle Hammond

Graduate Student Theses, Dissertations, & Professional Papers

This project evaluates the work of Canadian author and playwright Ann-Marie Macdonald in the context of links between ecocritical, feminist and post-colonial perspectives; it seeks to understand how broader definitions for gender provide an alternative to the patriarchal binaries that limit both individual and national identities. Part of the Canadian conscious is an anxiety that questions not only the way difference impacts their culture, but also how these differences speak to a lack of a homogenized national identity. This study focuses on Macdonald�s novels Fall on Your Knees (1996) and The Way the Crow Flies (2003) , in order to …

You Got The Job, Now What?: An Evaluation Of The New Employee Orientation Program At The University Of Montana, Shiloh M. A. Sullivan

Graduate Student Theses, Dissertations, & Professional Papers

When new members begin their employment with an organization, they make a transition from being an outsider to an insider. A significant moment arranged by the organization to facilitate socialization is the New Employee Orientation (NEO). This evaluation examines NEO in relation to the encounter stage of the socialization process. Focusing on what and how information is provided during the NEO program at the University of Montana (UM), this evaluation is based on research of the informational components of Klein and Weaver (2000) and the socialization tactics from Van Maanen and Schein (1979).

The Legal Status Of Bcci: Unwarranted Ad-Hocism, Constitutional Hudles And The Pressing Need For A Cricket-Legislation, Aditya Sondhi Jan 2010

The Legal Status Of Bcci: Unwarranted Ad-Hocism, Constitutional Hudles And The Pressing Need For A Cricket-Legislation, Aditya Sondhi

National Law School of India Review

The Supreme Court in Zee Telefilms rejected the contention that the Board of Control for Cricket in India comes within the scope of the definition of 'State' as defined in Article 12 of the Constitution. The Court, by a 3:2 majority, came to the conclusion that the BCCI is essentially an autonomous non-statutory body with no declared monopoly over the game of cricket, no public function to discharge, no significant financial assistance from the Government and not being subject to what could be described as 'deep and pervasive control' by the Government. This paper seeks to analyse the more significant …

Access To Assisted Conception: A Call For Legislative Reform In Light Of The Modern Family (Susan Doe V. Attorney General Of Canada), Lisa Feldstein Jan 2010

Access To Assisted Conception: A Call For Legislative Reform In Light Of The Modern Family (Susan Doe V. Attorney General Of Canada), Lisa Feldstein

Canadian Journal of Family Law

This paper explores the impact of laws regarding assisted conception and the discriminatory effect these laws have in light of non-traditional family forms. Specifically, it considers the Processing and Distribution of Semen for Assisted Conception Regulations and how these regulations serve to exclude certain individuals who do not fit into the "traditional" nuclear family model. The author critiques the judgement of Susan Doe v. Attorney General of Canada and calls for legislative reform in order for the laws to accurately reflect realities of the family in the 21st century.
