Becoming A Hacker: Demographic Characteristics And Developmental Factors, Kevin F. Steinmetz

Qualitative Criminology (QC)

"Hackers are not defined by any single act; they go through a process of development. Building from previous research and through ethnographic interviews and participant observation, the current analysis examines characteristics which may influence an individual’s development as a hacker. General demographic characteristics are analyzed, the participants’ school experiences are discussed, and perceived levels of parental support and influence are defined. Finally, descriptions of first exposures to technology, the concept of hacking, and the hacking community are presented. The study concludes with theoretical implications and suggestions for future research."

St. Jerome's Narnia: Transformation And Asceticism In The Desert And Beyond The Wardrobe, John Gavin

Mythlore: A Journal of J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, Charles Williams, and Mythopoeic Literature

Compares “two exercises in Christian myth-making”—C.S. Lewis’s Narniad and The Life of Paul the Hermit, the earliest work of the ascetic St. Jerome. Both are entertaining, and even whimsical at times, and feature communication with intelligent animals and a restoration of Paradise. Both also feature characters who model the value of asceticism and the solitary contemplative life.

The Criminal Disparity Between African American And Caucasian Males: Police Use Of Excessive And Deadly Force In The United States, 1991 - 2014, Denise Reese

Master's Theses and Doctoral Dissertations

This research focuses on the use of excessive and deadly force executed by law enforcement agencies in the context of a racial bias operating throughout the United States and its criminal justice systems. America's criminal system past and present, openly displays an enormous amount of inequality and injustice against African American males, females and other minorities. Are law enforcement agencies and the criminal justice system allowing police officers the right to desecrate minorities through the use of excessive and deadly force? This research focuses on the consequences of a U.S. legal system that seldom if ever provides any retributive justice …

Ceramics Production In Late Hellenistic And Roman Syracuse: The Search For The Pottery Quarter, Stephan Hassam

The Compass

Arcadia University offers a field school at the Catacombs of St. Lucy in Syracuse, Italy under the scientific direction of Dr. Davide Tanasi (The College of Global Studies, Arcadia Sicily Center). Apart from the didactic function of the excavation, it also brings to light important information on the archaeology of ancient Syracuse. Indeed, the excavation has yielded information not only about the early Christian use of the site (3rd to 6th century A.D.) but also Late Hellenistic and Early Roman Syracuse in the context of a pottery manufacturing quarter (3rd century B.C. – 1st century A.D.). Though largely ignored in …

They Throw Pebbles In Our Garden: Women And Consumerism In The Soviet Union From Lenin To Khrushchev, Lyudmila Austin

Master's Theses and Doctoral Dissertations

My work provides a background to gender equality in the Soviet Union from its inception, the nascent Lenin era, the autocratic Stalin era and it culminates with a focus on the Khrushchev regime. My work demonstrates that although the Khrushchev era sought to ameliorate women's double burden of work and domestic care, significant gains, in the form of economic independence and gender parity, were never achieved. My research reveals that the Khrushchev era, in an attempt to peacefully compete with the West, condoned traditional gender norms and encouraged feminine aestheticism. My research illustrates how the Post-Stalin era, which became more …

Contextualization: Tanzanian Maasai Culture And The Implications For Worship And Women’S Ministry, Alexandra T. Morgan

Senior Honors Theses

Maasai religion, music, and cultural customs have a definite impact on the methodology of missions and relations with the people of their tribes, specifically in the areas of worship and women’s ministry. Maasai tribes have specific cultural needs that require ministry different from those usually employed in Western methodology. There are theological foundations of worship and women’s ministry that must be understood in order to properly execute the process of contextualization as it applies to the Christian gospel. An analysis of the history, religion, rituals, gender roles, and music of Maasai tribes in Tanzania coupled with an understanding of contextualization …

Parity Of Indigenous And Non-Indigenous Women In Brazil: Does The Reported Number Of Children Born Depend Upon Who Answers National Census Questions?, Ricardo Ventura Santos, João Luiz Bastos, Oswaldo Gonçalves Cruz, Luciene Aparecida Ferreira De Barros Longo, Nancy May Flowers, Nilza De Oliveira Martins Pereira

Publications and Research

Taking parity as the main analytic variable, the objective of this study is to investigate whether the patterns of response to national census questions in Brazil differ when Indigenous and non-Indigenous women are compared, taking into consideration whether the information was provided by the women directly or by a proxy respondent (another household member or a non-resident). We use data on children ever born to Indigenous and non-Indigenous women from two Brazilian regions, the Northeast and the North. Data on the number of household members, total household rooms, interviewee’s color/race, educational attainment, age, parity, and type of respondent were obtained …

"Your Scent Is As Their Scent." The Invisible Presence In New Kingdom Egyptian Art, Robyn Sophia Price

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

Ancient Egyptian art often includes depictions of the act of smelling and of smell-carrying objects. Though the act of smelling and the objects themselves are visibly recognizable, both underline the presence of an invisible force, that of smell. In this analysis, Iargue that the visible presentation of scent-rich environments in Theban tomb wall paintings from the Eighteenth Dynasty was meant to mark divine presence, another invisible force. Textual evidence from mortuary literature reveals that the Egyptian gods could be identified by their smell. Thus, if the deceased were to take on this smell (i.e. identity) of the gods, the resultant …

A Multi-Method Examination Of The Effects Of Online Reviews On Consumer Information Processing And Firm Performance: A Linguistic Perspective, Alexa Kaye Sullivan Fox

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

Online consumer reviews are widely used by consumers, but the impact that this type of user-generated content has on companies is not as well understood. Moreover, companies are growing increasingly concerned that online consumer reviews may be worth paying close attention to. This research offers a multi-method research approach to better understand the effect of online consumer reviews on customer emotions and behavior, as well as corporate performance metrics. I use emotional contagion to examine how textual properties of online consumer reviews may influence these metrics in the service failure and linguistics contexts. In studies one, two, and three, I …

Exploring The Cohesion-Performance Relationship In Inter-Professional Healthcare Teams, Jill Steiner Sanko

Teamwork and communication failures contribute substantially to healthcare associated errors which are cited to cost over $17 billion dollars a year in the U.S alone. Teams are being used more often to delivery care because they are thought to improve the effectiveness, efficiency of care, as well as decrease costs. Teamwork and communication are critical to patient safety however, the benefits of a team-based approach to deliver healthcare has not been fully realized. Improving the understanding of the factors that affect team successes and failures is needed to advance team functioning and decrease teamwork and communication associated errors. The influence …

Dialect Influence On California Chicano English, Laura Kompara

Purdue Linguistic Association Symposium

Chicano English is a distinct U.S. English dialect common in California and the Southwestern United States. As Spanish immigrants from Mexico moved to the United States, especially throughout the 1990s, they learned English but carried some of the sounds and grammatical constructions from Spanish with them. Chicano English has become its own variety of English with organized linguistic patterns and must not be confused with English of second-language learners. This paper offers an accessible background piece to Chicano English in California and the ways that this dialect is changing due to contact with the surrounding dialects. The linguistic patterns of …
