A Nation Of Outsiders: Industrialists, African Americans, And Veterans In East Tennesee During Reconstruction, Katharine Dahlstrand Jan 2013

A Nation Of Outsiders: Industrialists, African Americans, And Veterans In East Tennesee During Reconstruction, Katharine Dahlstrand

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2010 - 2019

With the end of the American Civil War, the nation created entire populations of outsiders seeking acceptance and participation in the rebuilding of the country. Northern industrialists, African Americans, and veterans returning from military service demonstrated the failures of Reconstruction in their efforts to reconcile their position with the white southern inhabitants of East Tennessee. This region represents a unique place to explore Reconstruction and exclusionary citizenship because of its distinct relationship with both the Union and the Confederacy during the war. This thesis examines the people who lived the life of an outsider because of their background, skin color, …


"A Spirit Of Benevolence", Jennifer L. Boxen Jan 2013

"A Spirit Of Benevolence", Jennifer L. Boxen

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2010 - 2019

This thesis argues that the British Public Health movement did not begin in 1842 with Edwin Chadwick's publication, Report on the Sanitary Conditions of the Labouring Population of Great Britain (1842), or in 1848, with the subsequent passage of the Public Health Act. The beginning of the public health movement was instead the product of local initiatives such as the Manchester Board of Health, administered not by central government, but by members of the local community supported by predominantly philanthropic funding. The Manchester movement predated Chadwick's efforts by at least half a century and bore a greater resemblance to the …


A New Look At Distributive Leadership In Title I And Non-Title I Schools: Does Distributive Leadership Impact Student Achievement And School Culture?, Keietta Latraill Givens Jan 2013

A New Look At Distributive Leadership In Title I And Non-Title I Schools: Does Distributive Leadership Impact Student Achievement And School Culture?, Keietta Latraill Givens

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2010 - 2019

Additionally, the study investigated the relationship between distributive leadership and school culture in Title I and Non-Title I schools. Finally, this study determined if the relationship between distributed leadership, school culture, and student achievement is moderated by Title I status. This study was significant in the realm of education as it explored distributive leadership, its …


A Novel Method To Evaluate Local Control Of Lung Cancer In Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (Sbrt) Treatment Using 18f-Fdg Positron Emission Tomography (Pet), Vindu Kathriarachchi Jan 2013

A Novel Method To Evaluate Local Control Of Lung Cancer In Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (Sbrt) Treatment Using 18f-Fdg Positron Emission Tomography (Pet), Vindu Kathriarachchi

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2010 - 2019

An improved method is introduced for prediction of local tumor control following lung stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for early stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients using 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (18F-FDG PET). A normalized background-corrected tumor maximum Standard Uptake Value (SUVcmax) is introduced using the mean uptake of adjacent aorta (SUVref), instead of the maximum uptake of lung tumor (SUVmax). This method minimizes the variations associated with SUVmax and objectively demonstrates a strong correlation between the low SUVcmax (< 2.5-3.0) and local control of post lung SBRT. The false positive rates of both SUVmax and SUVcmax increase with inclusion of early (<6 months) PET scans, therefore such inclusion is not recommended for assessing local tumor control of post lung SBRT.


(Re)Making Men, Representing The Caribbean Nation: Authorialindividuation In Works By Fred D’Aguiar, Robert Antoni, Andmarlon James, Sheryl C. Gifford Jan 2013

(Re)Making Men, Representing The Caribbean Nation: Authorialindividuation In Works By Fred D’Aguiar, Robert Antoni, Andmarlon James, Sheryl C. Gifford

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2010 - 2019

This dissertation proposes that West Indian contemporary male writers develop literary authority, or a voice that represents the nation, via a process of individuation. This process enables the contemporary male writer to unite the disparities of the matriarchal and patriarchal authorial traditions that inform his development of a distinctive creative identity. I outline three stages of authorial individuation that are inspired by Jung’s theory of individuation. The first is the contemporary male writer’s return to his nationalist forebears’ tradition to dissolve his persona, or identification with patriarchal authority; Fred D’Aguiar’s “The Last Essay About Slavery” and Feeding the Ghosts illustrate …


A Troubled Past: Reconfiguring Postwar Suburban American Identity In Revolutionary Road, 1961 And Mad Men, 2007-2012, Erin M. Kiley Jan 2013

A Troubled Past: Reconfiguring Postwar Suburban American Identity In Revolutionary Road, 1961 And Mad Men, 2007-2012, Erin M. Kiley

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2010 - 2019

This thesis takes a cultural studies approach to representations of post-war U.S. suburbia in Richard Yates’ 1961 novel Revolutionary Road, as well as in the contemporary AMC television series Mad Men. These texts explore the postwar time period, which holds a persistently prominent and idealized space in the collective cultural imagination of America, despite the fact that it was a period troubled by isolationism, containment culture, rampant consumerism, and extreme pressure to conform to social roles. This project disrupts the romantic narrative of postwar America by focusing on the latent anxiety within the suburban landscape—by interrogating the performative nature of …


Certificate Authentication Security And The Preservation Of Privacy In Wireless Access In Vehicular Environment (Wave), Clifford Allen Kemp Jan 2013

Certificate Authentication Security And The Preservation Of Privacy In Wireless Access In Vehicular Environment (Wave), Clifford Allen Kemp

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2010 - 2019

Future vehicles will exchange safety-critical information messages wirelessly with other vehicles on the road. We must provide secure mechanisms to validate the authenticity and integrity of these messages. The IEEE Standard 1609.2 defines the format of secure messages and identifies security algorithms and mechanism for use in Wireless Access in Vehicular Environment (WAVE). We propose an organizational structure for Central Management Entities (CMEs) to address these goals and functional requirements, and to balance the security of communications with protection of user privacy. A concern in vehicular communications is the privacy of vehicle owners. Privacy must be preserved and the user …


Class Of Rational Surfaces With A Non-Rational Singularity Explicitly Given By A Single Equation, Drake. Harmon Jan 2013

Class Of Rational Surfaces With A Non-Rational Singularity Explicitly Given By A Single Equation, Drake. Harmon

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2010 - 2019

The family of algebraic surfaces X dened by the single equation zn = (y a1x) (y anx)(x 1) over an algebraically closed eld k of characteristic zero, where a1; : : : ; an 2 k are distinct, is studied. It is shown that this is a rational surface with a non-rational singularity at the origin. The ideal class group of the surface is computed. The terms of the Chase-Harrison-Rosenberg seven term exact sequence on the open complement of the ramication locus of X ! A2 are computed; the Brauer group is also studied in this unramied setting. The analysis …


Clinical Scholar Model, Kathryn. Arnold Jan 2013

Clinical Scholar Model, Kathryn. Arnold

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2010 - 2019

The purpose of this study was to evaluate student outcomes following implementation of a clinical scholar model of clinical education in one of four placement sites of a college of nursing grounded in a caring philosophy. The question guiding the study was to determine if the clinical scholar model has an influence on student perceptions and outcomes when used with second-degree accelerated BSN students. Watson's Human Caring theory, based on ten caritas processes, serves as the theoretical framework for this study (Watson, 2007). A sequential mixed-methods approach that combined quantitative and qualitative data collection techniques was implemented using a pre-experimental, …

Comparative Study Of Current Practices Of Selected University-Based Children’S Chorus Directors In Relation To Arts Integration, Sally C. Brown Jan 2013

Comparative Study Of Current Practices Of Selected University-Based Children’S Chorus Directors In Relation To Arts Integration, Sally C. Brown

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2010 - 2019

There is limited research available focusing on arts integration at the secondary school level and even less on a children’s chorus curriculum. Therefore, the aim of this qualitative study is to investigate the application of arts integration in a university-based children’s chorus based on historical research, rehearsal observations, and interviews of practicing children’s chorus directors. The pedagogical practices and philosophies of three prominent children’s chorus directors, Robyn Lana, Henry Leck, and Ann Small were conducted to understand the relationship between arts integration theory and practice in their respective children’s choruses. The criteria used to select the participants of this study …


Comparing Levels Of School Performance To Science Teachers' Reports On Knowledge/Skills, Instructional Use And Student Use Of Computers, Rebecca. Kerr Jan 2013

Comparing Levels Of School Performance To Science Teachers' Reports On Knowledge/Skills, Instructional Use And Student Use Of Computers, Rebecca. Kerr

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2010 - 2019

The purpose of this descriptive quantitative and basic qualitative study was to examine fifth and eighth grade science teachers' responses, perceptions of the role of technology in the classroom, and how they felt that computer applications, tools, and the Internet influence student understanding. The purposeful sample included survey and interview responses from fifth grade and eighth grade general and physical science teachers. Even though they may not be generalizable to other teachers or classrooms due to a low response rate, findings from this study indicated teachers with fewer years of teaching science had a higher level of computer use but …


Concept Of Fit, Scott Vaughn Smith Jan 2013

Concept Of Fit, Scott Vaughn Smith

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2010 - 2019

The purpose of this mixed method study was to understand how demographic fit, organizational fit, and group fit influenced secondary school assistant principal (AP) selection and assimilation for candidates who completed the Paradise School District (pseudonym) leadership training program during the 2004-2005 to 2008-2009 school years. However, the results indicated that Hispanic candidates were selected at a higher rate than other groups of candidates. The results also indicated that Black candidates were selected at the same rate as the average for all candidates ; however these results may be misleading because Black candidates were disproportionally over-represented in the study sample. …


Consequences Of Real Earnings Management And Corporate Governance, Adam J. Greiner Jan 2013

Consequences Of Real Earnings Management And Corporate Governance, Adam J. Greiner

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2010 - 2019

I examine the impact of real earnings management (REM) and corporate governance on cash holdings. Extant research documents an increase in both cash holdings and REM activity in recent years and shows that agency conflicts influence both the levels and valuations of cash holdings. Motivated by agency problems of REM and Jensen's (1986) arguments concerning the free cash flow problem, I investigate whether opportunistic asset sales and reductions in discretionary expenditures are associated with levels and valuations of cash holdings. Prior research also shows that strong corporate governance mitigates opportunistic earnings management behavior and enhances the valuation of cash holdings. …
