Debrazza’S Monkeys (Cercopithecus Neglectus) In A Mixed-Taxa Zoo Exhibit: Effects On The Behavior Of A Breeding Group Of Debrazza’S Monkeys After The Birth Of An Infant, Rachel Diamond

Psychology Honors Projects

Historically, zoos rarely feature mixed taxa exhibits including multiple primate species; the Minnesota Zoo opened such a unique four-species exhibit featuring Rock hyraxes, Red River hogs, Colobus monkeys, and DeBrazza’s monkeys in May, 2010. Because of potential problems associated with territoriality and aggression, primates in mixed-taxa exhibits are generally non-breeding. However, the DeBrazza’s monkeys at the MN Zoo are a breeding pair with a juvenile offspring. The intent of this study was to design an ethogram with the purpose of calculating the effects of a mixed taxa exhibit on the behavior of this breeding group, and to compare their behavior …

Bible Translation And Anthropology: The Superiority Of A Dynamic Equivalence Method Of Translation, Kathryn Hedrick

Senior Honors Theses

Bible translation has taken many forms and employed many methods in the past centuries since it was compiled and formalized.  Methods of translation range from highly literal to unduly free, with several intervals between the two.  In order to come to an accurate translation that can be properly understood by people far removed from the time and culture of the Bible, translators must employ cultural anthropology to understood the culture they are trying to reach.  This use of anthropology, combined with a dynamic-equivalence method of translation, produces the most effective and universally understandable translation of the Christian Bible.

Technical Communication And The Development Of A Request For Designation (Rfd) Submission To The U.S. Food And Drug Administration (Fda), Michael J. Bodary

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

In this dissertation, I use autoethnography to retrospectively examine the development of a document submitted to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Specifically, I retrospectively examine my perceptions of the corporate history and corporate culture surrounding the development of the biotech product, how the history and culture influenced the company’s development of a Request For Designation (RFD) FDA submission, and how the RFD affected subsequent events in the company.RFDs are a relatively new type of FDA submission designed specifically for a newly added division within the FDA--the Office of Combination Products (OCP)--formed to evaluate combination products. Combination products are …

Determining The Value Of Communications: The Development Of A Theory And Three-Dimensional Scalar Model For Evaluating And Assigning Values To Communications Relating To Adult Education, Robert Conrad Koerber

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

Strengthening the association between education and communication is difficult due to the scarcity of educationally initiated research into the mechanics of communication. Most of the existing communication research is domiciled in the departments of sociology, psychology, anthropology, journalism and business. Many educators are satisfied in allowing other disciplines to conduct our communication research and are equally willing to accept their results. Better communication facilitates better education and learning. This study advances a theory and a model to accomplish that end. The Value Theory of Communication and the three dimensional Koerber Scalar Multidimensional Model of Effectiveness (KSMME) are explanations of communication. …

Hoodoo Women To Robber Queens: Breaking The Bounds Of Ethnography And Female Subjectivity In Zora Neale Hurston's Circum-Caribbean Marvelous Real, Julie Lewis Lester

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

Throughout her career as an ethnographer, Zora Neale Hurston sought to capture the performances that linked African American folk communities of the coastal South to those she encountered in the Caribbean. The conjure woman of New Orleans and the Mambo priestess of Haitian Vodou exhibited performances that dramatized shared cultural and historical memory. These embodied performances connected women's lives across the circum-Caribbean diaspora. By situating the conjure woman in the context of the Marvelous Real, Hurston created a fictive site in which the conjurer acts as the interlocutor of women's recollected narratives and showed how identity could be shaped more …

Loving In The Present: The Theological And Pastoral Influences Of St. Bonaventure's Critical Retrieval Of Joachim Of Fiore On Joseph Ratzinger/Benedict Xvi, William L. Patenaude

Theology Graduate Theses

This thesis demonstrates that Pope Benedict XVI has benefited considerably from his 1957 study of St. Bonaventure’s pastoral response to thirteenth-century Franciscan “Spiritualists” and their disruptive acceptance of an imminent or realized eschatology. Joseph Ratzinger noted that Bonaventure’s response included a corrective theology of history that, along with a dialectical engagement of new ways of thought, provided Christianity with a vital understanding of the relation between human history and revelation. The present work examines how these Bonaventurian influences allowed Ratzinger/Benedict XVI to develop from core Christian theological proclamations—particularly the Cross and that God, as Trinity, is relationship and love—a particular …

Depicting Simultaneously Similarity, Diversity, Ancestry, And Admixture?, Peter J. Taylor

Working Papers on Science in a Changing World

Can any depiction of genetic relationships among humans allow simultaneously for similarity, diversity, ancestry, and admixture (i.e., groups that had split mixing again)? I asked this question while puzzling over the messages conveyed by diagrams from the work of Tishkoff and collaborators on genetic variation among humans in and out of Africa. In this talk I present explorations of alternative depictions of human genetic variation keeping my initial question in mind. By the end I will have prepared the ground for an assertion that the very methodology of generating and depicting human ancestry privileges a racialized view of human diversity.

An Examination Of Parent Perspectives On Augmentative And Alternative Communication Systems In Children With Fragile X Syndrome, Michelle Schladant

Open Access Dissertations

The purposes of this qualitative inquiry were as follows: (a) to understand how mothers of children with fragile X syndrome (FXS) used augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) systems in the home, (b) to capture their views regarding AAC use, and (c) to examine the support they received in the process. Data was collected using participant observations, semi-structured interviews and review of archival educational records and were analyzed using grounded theory methods. Results revealed that for children with FXS, the interplay of children’s complex developmental challenges, mothers’ internal struggles, and the absence of external supports leads to limited and variable use …

Exploring Identity Through Genetic And Genealogical Research: Development Of A Collaborative Course Between Humanities And Biology, James Doan, Emily F. Schmitt Lavin

Quadrivium: A Journal of Multidisciplinary Scholarship

In this paper, data from student projects completed in their HONR 1000N: Genetics and Genealogy course, taught during winter 2010, are presented. Students traced their deep ancestry through mitochondrial and Y-chromosome DNA analysis, as well as more recent ancestry, using genealogical databases and family histories. Frequently, students were challenged or pleasantly surprised by the information they gleaned. Genetic and genealogical research can provide clues to one’s identity and ethnic background, as well as potential medical conditions.
