The Pros And Cons Of Inclusion For Children With Autism Spectrum Disorders: What Constitutes The Least Restrictive Environment?, Lindsay J. Vander Wiele

Senior Honors Theses

In the contemporary educational system, the issue of full inclusion has brought about much discussion and debate. Because the principle of the least restrictive environment (LRE) mandates that students with special needs should have the opportunity to be educated with non-disabled peers to the greatest extent appropriate, the necessary components of inclusion impact all educational circles without exception. In fully inclusive settings, students with disabilities are provided with the services and supports appropriate to their individual needs within the general education classroom. Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are defined as neurodevelopmental disorders resulting in impairments in communication and social interaction. In …

Circumpunct, Kristin Epperson

Theses and Dissertations

I experimented with different imagery until I found a symbol that reflected my interpretation of my subconscious. This symbol is referred to as a circumpunct, or a circle with a dot in the middle. The dot in the middle is called a void. The circumpunct acts as emotional restraint, while the void acts as a challenge that is on the horizon. Process and meditation are what allow me to create from this subconscious labyrinth. By hand, I either paint or sculpt circumpuncts. By creating these circumpuncts and their voids, I have transformed a subconscious emotion into something visual. I started …

Disregard For Actions Shaping The Level Of Employees' Job Satisfaction As A Dysfunction In The Human Resources Management Process, Marta Fiech, Krzysztof Mudyń

European Management Studies

The main objective of the work is to underline the importance of actions undertaken in the process of human resources management aiming at improving the level of job satisfaction among employees. The authors present the value of this approach for efficient functioning of the organization as well as the consequences of ignoring this aspect, which - regarding the broad knowledge on the benefits that building the employees' satisfaction can bring into the organization - can be interpreted as a sort of a dysfunction in the management process. The article presents the list of aspects related to the level of job …

Evolution, Terror Management Theory, And Humans’ Relationship With Nature, Joshua Warren Vinocour

Dissertations

This study investigated the savannah hypothesis, an evolutionary explanation for human environmental preference. It aimed to address some of the methodological shortcomings of prior research while simultaneously investigating the role of non-evolutionary influences, such as existential anxiety and individual differences. Ninety-eight undergraduate participants were shown photos of Natural, Mixed, and Built settings and rated the visual attractiveness of each photo. Results showed that Built scenes were preferred over Natural and Mixed scenes, in contradiction to the savannah hypothesis. Existential anxiety, however, did not appear to influence photo ratings. Individual differences, such as ethnicity and the quality participants’ previous outdoor experiences …

Psychometric Properties Of Spanish Translations Of The Gamblers' Beliefs Questionnaire And The Gambling Self-Efficacy Questionnaire, Walter Ryan Winfree

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

Hispanics are the fastest growing minority group in the U.S. and there is a need for valid assessment measures for researchers and clinicians that work with Spanish-speaking gamblers. Spanish versions of self-report measures of gamblers' cognitive distortions (Gamblers' Beliefs Questionniaire; Steenbergh, Meyers, Whelan, & May, 2002) and self-efficacy to control gambling behavior (Gambling Self-Efficacy Questionaire; May, Whelan, Steenbergh, & Meyers, 2003) were translated and psychometrically evaluated in a sample of 219 Hispanics residing in the South U.S. The GBQ and GSEQ showed good internal consistencies (Alpha = .95; Alpha = .99, respectively). Factor analytic data revealed factor structures similar to …

Playing In The Flood Of Love: A Response To Michelle Voss Roberts' "Dualities: A Theology Of Difference", Brad Bannon

Journal of Hindu-Christian Studies

As John Thatamanil confesses in his Foreward to Michelle Voss Roberts' Dualities, I too, as a nondualist theologian, was initially apprehensive about Voss Roberts' title. However, I quickly came to find that the plural emphasis of dualities and the private emphasis of non-dualism actually speak to similar concerns over the inadequacies of both monism and dualism. The dualism denied by non-dualism and the multiplicity and relationality affirmed by dualities are more harmonious than dissonant.

Dualities And Women's Wisdom In Hinduism: Voss Roberts On Lallesvari Of Kashmir, Lance Nelson

Journal of Hindu-Christian Studies

The stereotype of the dualist West versus the nondualist East has far outlived whatever usefulness it may have had. As one who has been concerned with this issue in my own work, I am happy to see Michelle Voss Roberts addressing it methodically and effectively n her Dualities: A Theology of Difference. She gives us in this book a multi-leveled study that advances this discussion dramatically on a number of interconnected fronts, both theological and ethical, encompassing wide-ranging feminist, ecological, and social justice concerns. I find myself in enthusiastic agreement with much that she writes. In what follows I …

Psychosocial Correlates Of Psychological Distress And Arousal In Prostate Cancer Survivors Undergoing Active Surveillance, Natalie Escobio Bustillo

Open Access Theses

Active Surveillance (AS) for the clinical management of prostate cancer (PC) is a treatment option for men with low-risk PC. Screening procedures have led to the overdetection of PCs that would have never caused problems. Active treatment (e.g., surgery or radiation) for these non-aggressive tumors may not be necessary given the slow-growing nature of PC. AS provides a way to monitor the disease and delay treatment-related compromises on quality of life until clinically indicated (e.g., rising PSA level). However, the intensive monitoring in AS may be a stressful experience and lead to greater anxiety, an emotional state that has been …

Truth Is A One-Player Game: A Defense Of Monaletheism And Classical Logic, Benjamin A. Burgis

Open Access Dissertations

The Liar Paradox and related semantic antinomies seem to challenge our deepest intuitions about language, truth and logic. Many philosophers believe that to solve them, we must give up either classical logic, or the expressive resources of natural language, or even the “naïve theory of truth” (according to which "P" and “it is true that 'P'” always entail each other). A particularly extreme form of radical surgery is proposed by figures like Graham Priest, who argues for “dialetheism”—the position that some contradictions are actually true—on the basis of the paradoxes. While Priest’s willingness to dispense with the Law of Non-Contradiction …

Informal Support To First-Parents After Childbirth: A Qualitative Study In Low-Income Suburbs Of Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania, Columba Mbekenga, Andrea B. Pembe, Kyllike Christensson, Elisabeth Darj, Pia Olsson

School of Nursing & Midwifery, East Africa

Background: In Tanzania, and many sub-Saharan African countries, postpartum health programs have received less attention compared to other maternity care programs and therefore new parents rely on informal support. Knowledge on how informal support is understood by its stakeholders to be able to improve the health in families after childbirth is required. This study aimed to explore discourses on health related informal support to first-time parents after childbirth in low-income suburbs of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.

Methods: Thirteen focus group discussions with first-time parents and female and male informal supporters were analysed by discourse analysis.

Results: The dominant discourse was …

Aggression And The Failure Of Friendship To Buffer Against Loneliness, Rachel N. Tillery

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

Do children’s attributions of their friends’ aggressive behaviors matter? In short, yes, children’s attributions of their mutual friends’ aggressive behaviors do matter in terms of children’s reports of loneliness. The goal of the present research was to examine how children’s perceptions of their mutual friends’ aggressive behaviors related to loneliness after controlling for peer group factors (i.e. peer liking, peer popularity, number of mutual friends, and the child’s own level of aggression) known to contribute to loneliness. Self-report measures of loneliness, friendship nominations, and classroom nominations for liking, popularity, and aggression were collected from 185 third through sixth grade children. …
