Attempting To Reason In The Holiday Season, Anonymous

SURGE

Every year on the fourth Thursday of November, I sit down with my extended family to heaping dishes of mashed potatoes, sleekly polished bowls of green bean casserole, overflowing gravy boats, and, of course, a crackling turkey fresh from the oven. Without a doubt, my relatives and I have a lot for which to be thankful. [excerpt]

Playing The 'Blame Game': Accounting And The Construction Of Disruptive Behaviour In Family Interviews, G Blanchard, Tc Auburn, R Dallos Nov 2015

Playing The 'Blame Game': Accounting And The Construction Of Disruptive Behaviour In Family Interviews, G Blanchard, Tc Auburn, R Dallos

More Faculty of Health Research

Systemic conceptualisations suggest that family processes which involve blaming and holding the child accountable for their behaviour play an important role in the maintenance of disruptive behaviour problems. Discourse analytic work in family therapy settings has shown that accountability for the family’s reported problems is a key concern for family members. This study used a conversation analytic (CA) approach to examine family members’ accounts of child disruptive behaviour. The two participating families were both engaged in family therapy for disruptive behaviour problems. Each family participated in a family interview which was recorded and transcribed according to CA principles. The analysis …

Mass Media: From The Pulpit To The Pew Of Christian Churches, Lisa Colleen Bonds-Brown

Student Theses and Dissertations

As technology becomes more integrated with our daily lives, Christian churches and religious organizations are using media as part of their ministries. In addition to 21st-century technologies such as Twitter and Facebook, ministries also use traditional forms of media to expand their reach and spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ. This research will explore how churches are using multiple media technologies to spread the Gospel of Christ and communicate with both believers and non-believers in a world consumed by media. The Diffusion of Innovation Theory will guide this research.


Engineering Novel Glycopeptides As A Molecular Carrier For Thermostable E1 Endoglucanase Expressed In Planta, Hong Fang Nov 2015

Engineering Novel Glycopeptides As A Molecular Carrier For Thermostable E1 Endoglucanase Expressed In Planta, Hong Fang

Student Theses and Dissertations

Reengineering plant cell walls with cell wall-modifying enzymes (CWMEs) represents a promising solution to overcome the recalcitrance for lignocellulosic biomass efficient conversion to liquid biofuels. This project investigated innovative application of hydroxyproline (Hyp)-O-glycosylation to engineer novel glycopeptide tags for heterologous CWMEs to maximize their hydrolytic functions in cell walls without disrupting composition and architecture. I addressed the hypothesis that a strategically designed glycopeptide tag fused to thermostable E1 endoglucanase and expressed in tobacco will facilitate the enzyme deposition into cell wall matrix to make the resulting biomass more subject to biochemical saccharification, while not adversely affecting the normal growth of …

The Birth Of The Federation: Origins Of The Russian Struggle For Democracy, Nikita V. Chirkov

Modern Languages & Literatures Honors Theses

Introduction

Boris Yeltsin and his trusted deputies gathered around the table. A big question was supposed to be decided that day: a question that would fundamentally change the course of a nuclear superpower for decades to come. The anxiety in the room was unbearable: some deputies wiped their sweat with napkins, others silently tapped their feet underneath the table, and the rest hid their eyes in the notebooks full of information that was already well memorized by everyone inside. At last, Boris Yeltsin stood up, took several long sips from the water bottle, placed it firmly on the desk beside …
