Deeds Of Death, And Blood': The Introduction Of Sensational Crime Reporting Into Nineteenth Century Penny Press, Marta Catherine Toczylowski Jan 2012

Deeds Of Death, And Blood': The Introduction Of Sensational Crime Reporting Into Nineteenth Century Penny Press, Marta Catherine Toczylowski

Honors Theses

This thesis investigates the development of sensational crime reporting in New York in the early-Nineteenth Century. In order to fully understand the introduction of crime reporting into newspapers, I used a significant amount of secondary sources to understand the changes in the city, culture and the history of newspapers. I also took advantage of microfilm of newspapers from the 1830s and 1840s to look firsthand at the development of crime reporting in New York City newspapers. Through studying three significant murders and their coverage in the newspaper, I was able to establish and understand the development of a new type …


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 …


Correlating Taxation And Income Inequality: An Interregional Study, Shantala Fabiola Weiss Jan 2012

Correlating Taxation And Income Inequality: An Interregional Study, Shantala Fabiola Weiss

Honors Theses

The purpose of conducting this study is to identify the nature of the relationship between income inequality and taxation by correlating the taxes and their observed impact on the Gini coefficient. It is hypothesized that the greater tax rates result in greater impact on the Gini coefficient — the independent variable, also called redistribution. Data is run through a regression analysis to determine the strength of the hypothesis. A positive relationship between redistribution and the level of taxation is determined to exist. It is also found that fiscal redistribution is driven primarily by the level of taxation, not by its …


Application Of Operantly Based Single Case Design Methodology In Neurophysiological Feedback, Jenny M. Barnes Jan 2012

Application Of Operantly Based Single Case Design Methodology In Neurophysiological Feedback, Jenny M. Barnes

Honors Theses

This study demonstrates the utility of an ABA multiple baseline design in demonstrating causality, efficacy, and clinical effectiveness in neurofeedback studies. An operantly based multiple baseline (baseline, intervention, return to baseline] design was utilized. The results demonstrate the empirical and clinical utility ofwithin-subject design methodologies, as an alternative to large N group comparison designs, in both basic research and applied clinical studies. The data also contain effect size statistics to make findings available for meta-analytic studies.

Angiotensin Ii: A Potential Link Between Inflammation And Hypertension In Sle, Khush Singh Aujla Jan 2012

Angiotensin Ii: A Potential Link Between Inflammation And Hypertension In Sle, 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 IFN- y, and are more sensitive to the …

Theism And Psychological Science: A Call For Rapprochement, Michael J. Vogel, Tyler A. Gerdin, Mark R. Mcminn Jan 2012

Theism And Psychological Science: A Call For Rapprochement, Michael J. Vogel, Tyler A. Gerdin, Mark R. Mcminn

Faculty Publications - Doctor of Psychology (PsyD) Program

The authors offer two arguments for the inclusion of theism in natural science. First, an argument against excluding theism is offered. Though early roots of science promoted a view that it is a way to accumulate knowledge that is untainted by presuppositions and traditions, postmodern critiques call this into question. Scientists have sometimes rejected religion as a context-dependent, tradition-based way of knowing, yet science itself is also context-dependent and tradition-based. Second, an argument for including theism in psychological is offered. Theistic beliefs are relevant insofar as they are part of human experience for many, they represent a form of human …


Counseling And Psychotherapy Within And Across Faith Traditions (Chapter 17 In The Oxford Handbook Of The Psychology Of Spirituality), Mark R. Mcminn Jan 2012

Counseling And Psychotherapy Within And Across Faith Traditions (Chapter 17 In The Oxford Handbook Of The Psychology Of Spirituality), Mark R. Mcminn

Faculty Publications - Doctor of Psychology (PsyD) Program

This chapter begins with general considerations for religiously and spiritually oriented psychotherapy, including the importance of seeing religion and spirituality as d.imensions of cultural diversity, considering clients' welfare and autonomy, and maintaining competence. Three types of religious and spiritual intervention approaches are then discussed: assimilative, accommodative, and collaborative. Assimilative approaches introduce spiritual interventions or considerations into a standard psychotherapy approach. Accommodative approaches involve adapting a standard psychotherapy regimen to include religious or spiritual matters. Collaborative approaches entail a mental health professional and religious leader working in tandem for the sake of clients' welfare. Next, specific issues related to counseling within …


Spiritual Well-Being Scale: Mental And Physical Health Relationships (Chapter 48 Of Oxford Textbook Of Spirituality In Healthcare), Raymond F. Paloutzian, Rodger K. Bufford, Ashley J. Wildman Jan 2012

Spiritual Well-Being Scale: Mental And Physical Health Relationships (Chapter 48 Of Oxford Textbook Of Spirituality In Healthcare), Raymond F. Paloutzian, Rodger K. Bufford, Ashley J. Wildman

Faculty Publications - Doctor of Psychology (PsyD) Program

The existence of this handbook documents the recent increase in research on and practical attention to the role of spirituality in healthcare. One essential companion to the concept of spirituality is spiritual well-being (SWB).[1] That is, although the degree and type of spirituality per se can no doubt play an important role in how well a person faces the dilemmas related to health issues,[2,3] the degree to which a person perceives or derives a sense of wellbeing from that spirituality may be equally or more important. In this connection, SWB is an outcome indicator, or barometer, of how well a …


Growing Old (From Dirt And The Good Life), Mark R. Mcminn Jan 2012

Growing Old (From Dirt And The Good Life), Mark R. Mcminn

Faculty Publications - Doctor of Psychology (PsyD) Program

Excerpt: "After a night interrupted a dozen times or so with a sharp sciatica pain, I felt pleased to see the old digital clock approaching 8:00 as I reached my final awakening-much later than our normal rising and only possible on a sabbatical year. Lisa got out of bed first, rustling the sheets on her side of the bed as I said, "Happy anniversary." Today is our thirty-second. Surprisingly, she didn't respond. She's never been the type to offer silence in response to my words-even when annoyed at me-and I couldn't think of any reason for her to be annoyed …

Finding Our Way In Transition, Emily Hervey Jan 2012

Finding Our Way In Transition, Emily Hervey

Faculty Publications - Doctor of Psychology (PsyD) Program

As I sat on an airplane headed back to the US after three years in Central Asia, I stared out the window, praying and wondering what was ahead. The words from Jeremiah 29:11 then clearly came to mind: “I know the plans I have in mind for you,” declares the LORD, “they are plans for peace, not disaster, to give you a future filled with hope.” That passage has been a comfort so many times when I did not know what was ahead, yet found hope in God’s plan. I find it interesting that this verse was part of a …


Exploring Resilience: Strengths Of Trafficking Survivors In Cambodia, Glori G. Gray, Lilia E. U. Luna, Winston Seegobin Jan 2012

Exploring Resilience: Strengths Of Trafficking Survivors In Cambodia, Glori G. Gray, Lilia E. U. Luna, Winston Seegobin

Faculty Publications - Doctor of Psychology (PsyD) Program

Western literature provides an array of information regarding resilience within at-risk youth. Resilience research within non-Western contexts, and more specifically with exploited youth, is more limited. Despite exploitation, some youth develop a hardy ability to overcome adversity, allowing them more mastery over their environments and even increased psychological steadfastness. This project involved exploring the protective factors of resilience and psychological functioning in Cambodian youth, specifically a group of 24 survivors of sexual trafficking and another group of 24 rural youth without reported exploitation. The ages of participants ranged from J 3 to 22 years, with the average age being 15.62 …

Transportation of finished products …


Representing Parents With Severe Mental Illness In Child Welfare Cases, Joshua B. Kay Jan 2012

Representing Parents With Severe Mental Illness In Child Welfare Cases, Joshua B. Kay

Articles

Parents with severe mental illness are at greater risk than others of becoming involved in the child protection system, and their cases are more likely than others to result in termination of parental rights. Among women with severe mental illness, 26-75% lose custody to one or more of their children, rates far higher than for women without mental illness. Lawyers who represent mentally ill parents in child protection matters face a number of challenges, including maintaining a productive attorney-client relationship, advocating for appropriate services and reasonable accommodations for their clients’ disabilities, and refuting assumptions about their clients’ parenting abilities that …
