Self-Injury And Eating Disorders In Minors: When Should The Human Service Professional Break Confidentiality?, Laurie Craigen, Rebekah Cole

Counseling & Human Services Faculty Publications

The decision to protect or breach confidentiality is a common ethical dilemma for human service professionals. This decision is further complicated when the client is a child or adolescent. This manuscript examines the issue of confidentiality and minors with two common harmful behaviors in adolescents: self-injury and eating disorders. A continuum of physical and psychological factors are included to help the human service profession in ethical decision making. Two case studies followed by a list of questions to use in the decision making process are also provided.

Horizontal Violence And The Quality And Safety Of Patient Care: A Conceptual Model, Christina Purpora, Mary A. Blegen Jan 2012

Horizontal Violence And The Quality And Safety Of Patient Care: A Conceptual Model, Christina Purpora, Mary A. Blegen

Nursing and Health Professions Faculty Research and Publications

For many years, nurses in international clinical and academic settings have voiced concern about horizontal violence among nurses and its consequences. However, no known framework exists to guide research on the topic to explain these consequences. This paper presents a conceptual model that was developed from four theories to illustrate how the quality and safety of patient care could be affected by horizontal violence. Research is needed to validate the new model and to gather empirical evidence of the consequences of horizontal violence on which to base recommendations for future research, education, and practice.

Honors Theses

In Time, my BFA solo exhibition, was an installation of three four-foot-by-six-foot looping video projections shone directly onto the walls of Meek Hall's Gallery 130. create this body of work, I performed as both photographer and subject. Performance in its simplest form exists completely autonomous of technology, and when the photographer or videographer documents a performance s/he produces something and more tangible than simply engaging in the performance's live exchange. As I work with time-based media, the idea of time is central to my art-making process and conceptual development. In these works, I alter standard time structures by imposing my …

The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board [PCAOB] is charged with inspecting both individual public company audits as well as audit firm quality control systems. PCAOB inspection reports include information on deficiencies in dividual audits as well as quality control system defects. However, portions of the reports describing any quality control system defects are not made unless the firm does not correct those deficiencies withm one year. 1 classify in inspection public each firm as Type 1, Type 2 or Type 3.

Assessing Companies Allowance For Doubtful Accounts: Earnings Management And The Recession, David Mcarthur Neyhart Jan 2012

Assessing Companies Allowance For Doubtful Accounts: Earnings Management And The Recession, David Mcarthur Neyhart

Honors Theses

The purpose of this thesis is to determine if the economic downturn from 2007- 2009 had any significant influence on company’s ability to estimate bad debt expense, and to examine if there were any noticeable trends of earnings management. The estimates that companies use for their estimated allowance for doubtful accounts are largely unregulated and subjective, and therefore are more easily manipulated. This point is illustrated in the Statements on Auditing Standards number 57.4 by saying, “As estimates are based on subjective as well as objective factors, it may be difficult for management to establish controls over them. Even when …

Currency: The Fantastic Festival Of The Mind, Kristen Marie Vise Jan 2012

Currency: The Fantastic Festival Of The Mind, Kristen Marie Vise

Honors Theses

Currency: The Fantastic Festival of the Mind is an exploration of memory and ephemerality through abstracted imagery originating in the wonder of childhood, the magic of festivals, and the divinity of nature. In the work, an underlying “current” or essence of wonder serves as the “currency” of subjects ranging from carousels to clocks to Sycamore trees. The work explores fragmented concepts of time and memory that intertwine with whimsical imagery in the mind over time, leading to the development of fanciful percepdons and reassembled experience. Pulling from sources as diverse as Environmental Graphic Design, contemporary grapic design. Surrealism, and German …

Mapping And Mocking: Spanish Cuisine And Ramón Gómez De La Serna’S “El Primer Mapa Gastronómico De España”, Rebecca Ingram Phd Jan 2012

Mapping And Mocking: Spanish Cuisine And Ramón Gómez De La Serna’S “El Primer Mapa Gastronómico De España”, Rebecca Ingram Phd

Spanish: Faculty Scholarship

In July of 1924 Spanish vanguardist Ramón Gómez de la Serna published “El primer mapa gastronómico de España” in the humor weekly Buen humor (1921-1931). Although Ramón’s map locates and catalogues Spain’s alimentary wealth and diversity, his accompanying vignette mockingly deconstructs the supposed objectivity of the map and the cartographic authority of its creator, the “cartógrafo gastronómico.” This study places Ramón’s commentary and map in the historical and social context of 1920s Spain, a period during which two very different lifestyles co-existed in the same Spanish “nation.” Ramón’s cartógrafo exists at the margins of both versions of Spain. Ramón’s mocking …

Love's Labour's Lost 2.0: Exploring Identity Formation On Facebook And Beyond, Mitchell Watson Hobbs Jan 2012

Love's Labour's Lost 2.0: Exploring Identity Formation On Facebook And Beyond, Mitchell Watson Hobbs

Honors Theses

An adaptation of William Shakespeare's play of the same name, Love's Labour's Lost 2.0 utilizes the social network website Facebook as its stage so as to explore the unique problems and opportunities that social media affords identity creation. Through this lens, I find that identity creation in this digital world is discursively composed, much like identity in the analog world, and serves to shunt dissent or action that may threaten the status quo. Facebook's ultimate promise to this constantly composing individual is the comfort and security of an audience.

Working Towards A Solution To The Obesity Epidemic: A Marketer's Perspective, Elizabeth Ann Clippard Jan 2012

Working Towards A Solution To The Obesity Epidemic: A Marketer's Perspective, Elizabeth Ann Clippard

Honors Theses

The obesity epidemic is a social issue in that critics are quick to blame business and government for failing the consumers. The truth is that all three parties have failed each other by allowing such a cultural change to occur. The issue is similar to the tobacco public health crisis following the spike in lung cancer in the 1950s and 60s. The tobacco companies were blamed entirely for their unhealthy products and the government still spends millions today regulating their products. In order to improve upon this course of action, I believe that a more cooperative solution exists in order …

History, Culture, And Religion In The Development Of Racial Ideology: A Case Study Of The Dutch Reformed Church Of South Africa And The Presbyterian Church Of America, Alexandria Claire Denton

Honors Theses

This thesis deals with the Christian religious tradition in relation to the ideology of white supremacy. By contrasting the history and ideologies of the Dutch Reformed Church of South Africa and the Presbyterian Church of America, this thesis will attempt to show that past history and the present culture affect the way religious communities interpret sacred texts. The primary objective of this thesis is to demonstrate the interactive role of history, culture, and religion within religious communities and society in order to breed conscious awareness of how these institutions are mutually effective. Religious adherents are not only products of their …

Uvas Unidas: A Research Study And Campaign Design For Hispanic Millennials, Candace Margaret Rodriguez Jan 2012

Uvas Unidas: A Research Study And Campaign Design For Hispanic Millennials, Candace Margaret Rodriguez

Honors Theses

The Hispanic market is a fast growing demographic that has begun to drastically reshape the population composition of the United States. Many unique and different cultures and identities are represented under the label, “Hispanic." Many companies have started l recognizing the value and importance of the Hispanic demographic. Along with the rising Hispanic population, Millennials are becoming an increasingly significant market. Hispanics have a lower median age, 25.4, than both African Americans and Caucasians in the United States and play a vital role as members of the Millennial generation. Hispanic Millennials are a market segment that is often overlooked. A …

Angiotensin Ii As A Potential Regulator Of Inflammatory Cytokines In Inducing Hypertension In Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, Khush Singh Aujla Jan 2012

Angiotensin Ii As A Potential Regulator Of Inflammatory Cytokines In Inducing Hypertension In Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, Khush Singh Aujla

Honors Theses

The disease Systemic Lupus Erythematosus is a chronic inflammatory, autoimmune disorder that primarily affects women during their reproductive years. Women with SLE are at a greater risk of developing hypertension, which increases their risk of mortality from a cardiac related event. A proposed mechanism for SLE hypertension suggests that inflammation in the kidneys causes renal dysfunction, presumably resulting in less water excretion, increased plasma volume, and thus high blood pressure. This experiment tests the hypothesis that the T-cells from a mouse model of SLE hyper secrete the inflammatory cytokines IL-17, IL-10, and DFN- y, and are more sensitive to the …

“High School For Scandal: A Modern Screenplay Adaptation Of Richard Brinsley Sheridan’S The School For Scandal”, Bryant Alexander Salmon Jan 2012

“High School For Scandal: A Modern Screenplay Adaptation Of Richard Brinsley Sheridan’S The School For Scandal”, Bryant Alexander Salmon

Honors Theses

For my thesis, I adapted Richard Brinsley Sheridan’s IS**’ century play. The School for Scandal, into a modern-day screenplay with an American high school setting. I not only modified the characters and setting of Sheridan's play, but also changed the format from that of a play, meant for the stage, into an on-screen, feature-length film. Through extensive research on the art of screenwriting, adaptation, and film editing, I created a modem script that shares similar themes, attitudes, and messages with Sheridan’s original play. The works together show parallels and similarities between the British aristocracy of Sheridan’s time and the social …

“What Strange Creatures Brothers Are!: An Exploration Of Sibling And Pseudo-Sibling Relationships In Jane Austen’S Novels, Sarah Danielle Thornton Jan 2012

“What Strange Creatures Brothers Are!: An Exploration Of Sibling And Pseudo-Sibling Relationships In Jane Austen’S Novels, Sarah Danielle Thornton

Honors Theses

In this thesis, I compare true sibling relationships with pseudo-sibling relationships in Jane Austen’s novels. I detail why siblings who become friends are generally more successful than friends who attempt to become siblings. With real siblings such as the Bennet sisters, the Dashwood sisters, and Fanny and William Price, there is already a familial obligation that allows them to transform their relationship into something deeper and more meaningful. In the cases of pseudo-siblings such as Catherine Morland and Isabella Thorpe, Emma Woodhouse and Harriet Smith, Fanny Price and Edmund Bertram, and Emma Woodhouse and Mr. Knightley, the transformation from friends …

The Effectiveness Of Common Language: A Contextual Analysis Of Thomas Paine's Common Sense And Rev. Martin Luther King's 'Letter From A Birmingham Jail', Mack-Arthur Turner, Jr Jan 2012

The Effectiveness Of Common Language: A Contextual Analysis Of Thomas Paine's Common Sense And Rev. Martin Luther King's 'Letter From A Birmingham Jail', Mack-Arthur Turner, Jr

Honors Theses

People are different in several ways; however, we are also share many similarities. For example, we all have ways in which we can communicate others. One of the problems in communicating is connecting with one's intended audience. The way that people construct their ideas and convey them could be effective based on the audiences' ability to understand, interpret, and react. In this paper, I examine the way in which many powerful and influential American leaders have used a particular form of communication to inspire the masses. I analyze the way in which two powerful figures, Thomas Paine and Rev. Martin …
