Genocide, Denial, And Domination: Armenian-Turkish Relations From Conflict Resolution To Just Transformation, Henry C. Theriault Nov 2012

Genocide, Denial, And Domination: Armenian-Turkish Relations From Conflict Resolution To Just Transformation, Henry C. Theriault

Journal of African Conflicts and Peace Studies

This article presents a critical analysis of the general “conflict resolution” approach for improving Turkish-Armenian relations, the latter of which completely broke apart as a result of the Ottoman Turk Genocide of the Armenians (1915-1923). In doing so, it examines past and present Armenian-Turkish relations underlying the approach. Ultimately, the author argues that the forms of the “conflict resolution” model typically proposed and pursued cannot address the root causes of the problems inherent in Turkish-Armenian relations and thus cannot succeed in resolving those problems. The author concludes with recommendations that he believes could lead toward a meaningful resolution of the …


The Responsibility To Protect And Preventing Genocide In The Twenty-First Century, Herbert Hirsch Nov 2012

The Responsibility To Protect And Preventing Genocide In The Twenty-First Century, Herbert Hirsch

Journal of African Conflicts and Peace Studies

As the new century rolls on, as genocide continues in places such as Darfur and the old slogans such as “never again” and others retain the ring of insincerity, new prescriptions emerged as to how genocide is to be prevented in this 21st century. Already, however, the century is not so new and neither are the prescriptions. In order to fully understand the newest of the new ideas, The Responsibility to Protect, it must be placed within the context of international politics and a brief history of prevention in the late Twentieth Century.


Why Men Participate: A Review Of Perpetrator Research On The Rwandan Genocide, Cyanne E. Loyle Nov 2012

Why Men Participate: A Review Of Perpetrator Research On The Rwandan Genocide, Cyanne E. Loyle

Journal of African Conflicts and Peace Studies

In “Why Men Participate: A Review of Perpetrator Research on the Rwandan Genocide,” Cyanne E. Loyle provides a thought-provoking analysis of the existing state of the genocide perpetrator literature. Relying on fieldwork conducted in Rwanda over the past several years, her research contributes to the development of a unified theory of participation in genocide (that is, who participates and why) that can be examined and applied across case.


The Relationship Of Food And Academic Performance: A Preliminary Examination Of The Factors Of Nutritional Neuroscience, Malnutrition, And Diet Adequacy, Allison Woodhouse, Mark A. Lamport, Ph.D. Nov 2012

The Relationship Of Food And Academic Performance: A Preliminary Examination Of The Factors Of Nutritional Neuroscience, Malnutrition, And Diet Adequacy, Allison Woodhouse, Mark A. Lamport, Ph.D.

Christian Perspectives in Education

This article examines the extent of food’s impact on children’s academic achievement. The purpose of this study is to summarize existing research concerning the food-learning correlation and to synthesize studies regarding nutritional needs of the brain, malnutrition during development, and overall diet quality as related to academic achievement. Data finds a fundamental link between nutrition and cognition. Results suggest to the extent the brains of many United States schoolchildren do not receive the nutrients needed for optimal cognition, that academic performance may be consequentially reduced. Finally, a discussion of related learning theory and current debate, and practical implications for educational …

Positive Versus Negative Agents: The Effects Of Emotions On Learning, Carolyn Mcgregor Forsyth Nov 2012

Positive Versus Negative Agents: The Effects Of Emotions On Learning, Carolyn Mcgregor Forsyth

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

The current study investigates the impact of affect, mood contagion, and linguistic alignment on learning during tutorial conversations between a human student and two artificial pedagogical agents. The study uses an Intelligent Tutoring System known as OperationARIES! to engage students in tutorial conversations with animated agents. In this investigation, 48 college students (N = 48) conversed with pedagogical agents as they displayed 3 different moods (i.e., positive, negative, and neutral) along with a control condition in a within-subjects design. Results indicate that the mood of the agent did not significantly impact student learning even though mood contagion did occur between …


The Psychometric Evaluation Of The Memphis Gambling Inventory: A Problem Gambling Brief Screen For Primary Care Settings, George B. Mitzner Nov 2012

The Psychometric Evaluation Of The Memphis Gambling Inventory: A Problem Gambling Brief Screen For Primary Care Settings, George B. Mitzner

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

Central to a public health approach to gambling problems is early detection. Drawbacks of traditional screening efforts have reinforced the need for brief problem gambling screens particularly in time sensitive settings such as primary care. The only, existing primary care brief instrument is limited by its psychometric development and is not informed by contemporary gambling research. The Memphis Gambling Inventory (MGI) is a new problem gambling brief screen that assesses several dimensions of gambling behavior, cognition, motivation, and consequences. The current study evaluated the screening performance of the MGI's original 15-item pool. ROC analysis revealed a 3-item MGI that correctly …

Design Experiences On Single And Multi Radio Systems In Wireless Embedded Platforms, Somnath Mitra

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

The progress of radio technology has made several flavors of radio available on the market.Wireless sensor network platform designers have used these radios to build a variety of platforms. Withnew applications and different types of radios on wireless sensing nodes, it is often hard to interconnectdifferent types of networks. Hence, often additional radios have to be integrated onto existingplatforms or new platforms have to be built. Additionally, the energy consumption of these nodes have to be optimized to meetlifetime requirements of years without recharging.In this thesis, we address two issues of single and multi radio platform designfor wireless sensor network …


Examining The Effects Of Instructions And Overt Timing On Curriculum-Based Measures Of Reading, Colby Duncan Taylor Nov 2012

Examining The Effects Of Instructions And Overt Timing On Curriculum-Based Measures Of Reading, Colby Duncan Taylor

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

The purpose of this research was to examine whether variation in directions and timer visibility affected oral reading fluency on R-CBM probes. A sample of third-grade students (N = 72) was randomly assigned to four experimental directions conditions which emphasized participants doing their best, fastest, most accurate, or most expressive reading. Results from the 4 (experimental directions) X 2 (timer visibility) factorial ANOVAs revealed no significant differences across groups in the number of reading errors made (i.e., miscues), the number of words read correctly per minute, or in how expressively the participants read. Further, experimental conditions were not found to …
