The Precarious Fate Of Homosexual Emojis, Margaret Mary Ochner Nov 2015

The Precarious Fate Of Homosexual Emojis, Margaret Mary Ochner

Cardozo Arts & Entertainment Law Journal (AELJ) Blog

Shigetaka Kurita had a goal in mind when he set out to create the emoji: to invent a quick and simple way to express emotion without words. Emojis are defined as “[a] small digital pictograph used in electronic communication to express a wide range of emotion and ideas” and are based on Japanese characters. In the past several years, emojis have become popular on many platforms, such as Apple and Android phones, as well as social media sites like Twitter and Facebook. Recently, users have embraced Apple’s decision to add new emojis, such as those depicting different races and homosexual …

Understanding The Impact Of Multicultural Education Using Experiential Learning Techniques To Foster Cultural Competency Of Medical School Students: A Qualitative Case Study At A Medical School, Jonathan Parker Jones Nov 2015

Understanding The Impact Of Multicultural Education Using Experiential Learning Techniques To Foster Cultural Competency Of Medical School Students: A Qualitative Case Study At A Medical School, Jonathan Parker Jones

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

Cultural competencies of current medical school students were examined by studying part of the multicultural curriculum at a southeastern United States health science center. This study was a qualitative case study that focused on the impact of a multicultural education training exercise, BaFa' BaFa,' on first-year medical students. This exercise took place during orientation of the student's first year. The theoretical framework for this study was part of Kolb's model of experiential learning, specifically the active experimentation aspect. There were two research questions that guided this study: (1) How does BaFa' BaFa' impact cultural competency on current medical students at …


Hierarchy And Exclusion: The Construction And Maintenance Of Order In First-Generation Puritan Massachusetts, 1630-1660, Scott Roth Nov 2015

Hierarchy And Exclusion: The Construction And Maintenance Of Order In First-Generation Puritan Massachusetts, 1630-1660, Scott Roth

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

In 1630, a company of English Puritans established Massachusetts Bay Colony and, in doing so, the settlement that offered a foundation for life in Colonial New England. Facing great change, the colony's leadership developed religious, economic, political and social devices to maintain control throughout the transition, thereby establishing a strict order that permeated the lives of all who settled. Those who sought to transcend their place in this order faced discipline in various ways, though the General Court doled out these punishments unevenly. The inconsistency of application of these devices allowed for progress in some areas but restricted growth in …


Stories Of The Trenton Six: Race And The Early Cold War In America, 1948 - 1953, Harry Roger Young Nov 2015

Stories Of The Trenton Six: Race And The Early Cold War In America, 1948 - 1953, Harry Roger Young

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

This dissertation reveals the complex post war world, in the emerging Cold War era, with the intersecting disputed worlds of race and ideology through the lens of the Trenton Six case. It provides the reader with a glimpse of one city's story, but it enveloped the entire nation; as Americans attempted to make sense of their chaotic and complicated world, prior to the 1960s civil rights movement. This study explores the problem of race in the criminal justice system. Even as racial attitudes were liberalizing in the post war world, race still pervaded criminal justice proceedings in subtle and unsubtle …


"Today's Not Yesterday, And All Things Have An Ending"--Stevie Wonder's Proximate Soul And The Black Arts Movement, Amber M. Hendricks Nov 2015

"Today's Not Yesterday, And All Things Have An Ending"--Stevie Wonder's Proximate Soul And The Black Arts Movement, Amber M. Hendricks

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

Starting with the album Where I’m Coming From (1970) through Hotter Than July (1980), Stevie Wonder’s music embodies a hero’s cycle, attaching his voice to myths rendered from the the Black experience. As manifestations of Wonder’s unconsciousness, the myths remind the reader of the Black diaspora and project listeners into his musical dreams. Through his music and lyrics, Stevie Wonder defines Blackness as inclusive, resisting the restrictive notions set by both Motown and the Black Power/ Arts Movements. During his mythmaking process, Stevie Wonder enters into a "supernatural" world of the Black Power/ Arts Movement (hereafter BP/AM) that Motown once …


How Does Poetry Confess? Zhai Yongming's Poems And The Landscape Of "Confession", Xin Xu Nov 2015

How Does Poetry Confess? Zhai Yongming's Poems And The Landscape Of "Confession", Xin Xu

Seton Hall University Dissertations and Theses (ETDs)

In the 1980s, a Chinese poet, Zhai Yongming (翟永明), published a linked suite of nineteen poems. Zhai entitled this sequence “Women” (Nǚren女人) and claimed that her poems were largely influenced by American confessional poets such as Sylvia Plath. Chinese critics suggest that Zhai inaugurates the trend of confessional poetry in China. This paper will first contextualize the Chinese translation of American confessional poetry in the Mao and post-Mao age, and then problematize the concept of “confession” in Chinese poetry criticism by making American confessional poetry a counter point. Under the term of confessional poetry it is “the illusion of a …


Middle-Income Latinos In Middle-Class Communities: A Study On Parental Involvement Dynamics, Rafael Inoa Nov 2015

Middle-Income Latinos In Middle-Class Communities: A Study On Parental Involvement Dynamics, Rafael Inoa

Seton Hall University Dissertations and Theses (ETDs)

The academic underperformance of students of Latino backgrounds is a serious cause for concern in the United States, especially considering the significant portion of the total U.S. population that Latinos constitute. Since parental involvement is known as a powerful resource in helping all students succeed academically, it can be used as a way to counter the achievement gap that Latinos are currently facing. However, middle-class Latinos, who are also plagued by this gap in academic achievement, are continuously overlooked throughout the educational literature. The current study lays focus on this group by centering on the perspectives of middle-income Latino parents …


Count The Limbs: Designing Robust Aggregation Clauses In Sovereign Bonds, Anna Gelpern, Ben Heller, Brad Setser Nov 2015

Count The Limbs: Designing Robust Aggregation Clauses In Sovereign Bonds, Anna Gelpern, Ben Heller, Brad Setser

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

On August 29, 2014, the International Capital Market Association (ICMA) published new recommended terms for sovereign bond contracts governed by English law. One of the new terms would allow a super majority of creditors to approve a debtor’s restructuring proposal in one vote across multiple bond series. The vote could bind all bond holders, even if a series voted unanimously against restructuring, so long as enough holders in the other series voted for it. An apparently technical change, awkwardly named “single-limb aggregated collective action clauses (CACs)” promised to eliminate free-riders for the first time in the history of sovereign bond …

The Impeccable Timing Of The Apple Maggot Fly, Rhagoletis Pomonella (Dipetera: Tephritidae), And Its Implications For Ecological Speciation, Monte Arthur Mattsson Nov 2015

The Impeccable Timing Of The Apple Maggot Fly, Rhagoletis Pomonella (Dipetera: Tephritidae), And Its Implications For Ecological Speciation, Monte Arthur Mattsson

Dissertations and Theses

Speciation is the process by which life diversifies into discrete forms, and understanding its underlying mechanisms remains a primary focus for biologists. Increasingly, empirical studies are helping explain the role of ecology in generating biodiversity. Adaptive radiations are often propelled by selective fitness tradeoffs experienced by individuals that invade new habitats, resulting in reproductive isolation from ancestral conspecifics and potentially cladogenesis. Host specialist insects are among the most speciose organisms known and serve as highly useful models for studying adaptive radiations. We are just beginning to understand the pace and degree with which these insects diversify. The apple maggot, Rhagoletis …

Lighting Conditions And Optical Filters Effects On Visual Performance Of Speleologists Exposed To Cave Environments, Carla Costa Lança, Nádia Fernandes, Ana Monteiro, Ana Almeida Nov 2015

Lighting Conditions And Optical Filters Effects On Visual Performance Of Speleologists Exposed To Cave Environments, Carla Costa Lança, Nádia Fernandes, Ana Monteiro, Ana Almeida

International Journal of Speleology

The aim of this study is to evaluate lighting conditions and speleologists’ visual performance using optical filters when exposed to the lighting conditions of cave environments. A cross-sectional study was conducted. Twenty-three speleologists were submitted to an evaluation of visual function in a clinical lab. An examination of visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, stereoacuity and flashlight illuminance levels was also performed in 16 of the 23 speleologists at two caves deprived of natural lightning. Two organic filters (450nm and 550nm) were used to compare visual function with and without filters. The mean age of the speleologists was 40.65 (± 10.93) years. …
