Brazil: Solar Cookers And Pv In Amazon Rainforest, Phil Clauda, Michael Zimmerman

ETHOS Technical Reports

During the summer of 2011 two University of Dayton engineering students lived in Porto De Moz, Para, Brazil. This community is located on the Xingu River in the Amazon Rainforest. An organization called the Xingu Mission worked with the students to identify and execute an engineering based project to bring appropriate technology to the region. A survey of the region’s socio-economic condition suggested that building solar ovens could be a viable cost savings project for people in the region. A solar oven was prototyped using local materials and tested for its ability to heat up food. The solar oven reached …

The Extremely Short Story Competition: Fostering Creativity In Formal And Informal E-Language Learning Contexts In The Uae And Internationally, Peter John Hassall

All Works

This paper details the development of the Extremely Short Story Competition [ESSC] for non-native users of English. The ESSC began as a 50-word writing competition, using e-mail, between students of the Literature Club Zayed University and has since been successfully adapted for delivery via a website to involve tertiary students at federal education institutions (Zayed University, UAE University & Higher Colleges of Technology) throughout the United Arab Emirates. Examples and explanation will be given of how the web-version of the ESSC is used to encourage creativity in classroom and out-of-class language learning and has also been implemented throughout the GCC …

Identity, Nationalism And Cultural Heritage Under Siege: The Case Of Pomaks (Bulgarian-Speaking Muslims) In Bulgaria, Fatme M. Myuhtar-May

Student Theses and Dissertations

This research explores selected cultural traditions and histories associated with the Pomaks, a community inhabiting the Rhodope Mountains of southwestern Bulgaria. They speak Bulgarian as a mother tongue, but profess Islam as their religion unlike the country's Orthodox Christian majority. Based on this linguistic unity, the Pomaks have been subjected to recurring forced assimilation since Bulgaria's independence from Ottoman rule in 1878. Today, taking advantage of Bulgaria's democratic rule, they are beginning to assert a heritage of their own making. Still, remnants of entrenched totalitarian mentality in the official cultural domain prevent any formal undertaking to that effect. With the …

Mad Or Bad? The Portrayal Of Mentally Ill Offenders In The Irish Print Media, Karla Duffy

Dissertations

It has been argued (Pustilnik, 2005) that the majority of representations of mentally ill offenders falls into one of two models: the moral/punitive model, and the medical/therapeutic model. The moral/punitive model views mental illness as a personal failure rather than a medical condition, and any representations of offenders in this model will be unsympathetic. The medical/therapeutic model views mental illness as a medical condition, and views mentally ill offenders in a sympathetic manner. The purpose of this study was to ascertain whether the representation of mentally ill offenders in the Irish print media conforms to one of these two models. …

Creativity, Improvisation, And Risk: Copyright And Musical Innovation, Olufunmilayo B. Arewa

Notre Dame Law Review

The article discusses U.S. copyright law and its influence on creativity and musical innovation. The author states that the benefits of copyright are commonly thought to outweigh the actual costs. As the author points out, the goal of early copyright legislation was to provide incentives for the continued creation of works. The role of visual bias in musical copyrights is examined. The author calls for a better understanding of musical creativity within the scope of copyright law.

Pushing The Boundaries Of Cultural Congruence Pedagogy In Science Education Towards A Third Space, Cassie Quigley

Publications

This review explores Meyers and Crawford’s “Teaching science as a cultural way of knowing: Merging authentic inquiry, nature of science, and multicultural strategies” by examining how they combine the use of inquiry-based science instruction with multicultural strategies. In this conversation, I point to the need of specific discourse strategies to help teachers and students create hybrid spaces to push the boundaries of cultural congruence as described in this article. These strategies include a reflective component to the explicit instruction that encourages an integration of home and science discourses. My response to this work expands on their use of multicultural strategies …

Language, Thought And Culture: Links To Intercultural Communicative Competence, Denise Lussier

Comparative and International Education / Éducation Comparée et Internationale

We live in a world where many countries are at war, where religious and ethnic conflicts tend to intensify in spite of sustained effort from governments and inter-governments, where solitudes and tensions between linguistic communities still prevail. In a context where geo-political interests predominate, how do we view cultural and intercultural issues? How can we promote values and attitudes that recognize experiences of diversity and openness to other cultures? Can institutions such as schools and universities promote social cohesion through education?

These issues are essential to mankind but they have to be looked upon with logical coherence.This article reviews existing …

New Americans: Child Care Decision-Making Of Refugee And Immigrant Parents Of English Language Learners, Helen Ward Jd, Erin E. Oldham Lachance Phd, Julie Atkins Ma

Children, Youth, & Families

The immigrant and refugee communities in the United States continue to increase. Denver, Colorado and Portland, Maine are two U.S. cities that reflect the changing demographics across the country. As these cities evolve and adjust to serve new populations, it becomes necessary to rethink deep-rooted culturally constructed patterns and traditions that do not take into account the beliefs and practices of these new cultures. One such tradition is child care. Because of the important link between preschool experiences and later school success, understanding refugee and immigrant families’ beliefs and decisions about child care is extremely important. From a policy perspective, …

Vocabulary Development In Greek Children: A Cross-Linguistic Comparison Using The Language Development Survey, Christina F. Papaeliou, Leslie Rescorla

Psychology Faculty Research and Scholarship

This study investigated vocabulary size and vocabulary composition in Greek children aged 1; 6 to 2; 11 using a Greek adaptation of Rescorla's Language Development Survey (LDS; Rescorla, 1989). Participants were 273 toddlers coming from monolingual Greek-speaking families. Greek LDS data were compared with US LDS data obtained from the instrument's normative sample (Achenbach & Rescorla, 2000). Vocabulary size increased markedly with age, but Greek toddlers appeared to get off to a slower start in early word learning than US children. The correlation between percentage word use scores in Greek and US samples was moderate in size, indicating considerable overlap …

The Changing Understanding Of North American Archaeology And Native American Heritage, Ashley Bourgault

Spectrum

This article explores the evolving ways in which anthropologists, archaeologists, and the United States government have viewed Native American cultural heritage, especially in terms of burials and grave goods. I begin with a historical view of the looting and racism that plagued the disciplines since their inception, and move into the present, while examining how NAGPRA has enabled indigenous communities to have a voice concerning what happens to their heritage, thus transforming archaeology in beneficial and productive ways that were previously not thought possible.

Current Perspectives On Tunisian Sociolinguistics, Lotfi Sayahi

Languages, Literatures and Cultures Faculty Scholarship

Despite its small size (63,170 sq miles) and a rather small population with a stable growth rate,2 Tunisia represents a rich sociolinguistic laboratory with a long history of bilingualism and language contact. The delicate position of Berber, the diglossic situation of Arabic and the increasing efforts for Arabization, the regional and social variation in Tunisian Arabic, the presence of French, and the gradual spread of English, among other closely-related topics, constitute the core themes of research within Tunisian sociolinguistics. Since the publication of R. M. Payne’s Language in Tunisia in 1983, no attempt has been made to reassess the situation …

Public Transport As A Common Pool Resource, Leigh Glover

World Transit Research

Few public transport debates come to terms with the questions of what constitutes public transport, of what is it for, and exactly how it differs from private transport, individual transport, and collective transport. For some engaged in these debates, public transport is supported because of its contribution to net social welfare or to welfare of segments of society; public transport is therefore held as being in the public interest. Although this proposition is most certainly true as a generalisation, it reduces the understanding of public transport to essentially an expression of social values and suffers from being considered as purely …
