How Landscape Ecology Informs Global Land-Change Science And Policy, Buma, Audrey Mayer, Amelie Davis, Sara Gagne, E. Louise Loudermilk, Robert Scheller, Fiona Schmiegelow, Yolanda Wiersma, Janet Franklin Apr 2016

How Landscape Ecology Informs Global Land-Change Science And Policy, Buma, Audrey Mayer, Amelie Davis, Sara Gagne, E. Louise Loudermilk, Robert Scheller, Fiona Schmiegelow, Yolanda Wiersma, Janet Franklin

Faculty, Staff, and Students

Landscape ecology is a discipline that explicitly considers the influence of time and space on the environmental patterns we observe and the processes that create them. Although many of the topics studied in landscape ecology have public policy implications, three are of particular concern: climate change; land use–land cover change (LULCC); and a particular type of LULCC, urbanization. These processes are interrelated, because LULCC is driven by both human activities (e.g., agricultural expansion and urban sprawl) and climate change (e.g., desertification). Climate change, in turn, will affect the way humans use landscapes. Interactions among these drivers of ecosystem change can …

On Becoming Human In Lingít Aaní: Encountering Levinas Through Indigenous Inspirations, Sol Neely Apr 2016

On Becoming Human In Lingít Aaní: Encountering Levinas Through Indigenous Inspirations, Sol Neely

Faculty, Staff, and Students

Calls for taking up wisdom in its place risk re-inscribing coloniality at the level of signification if attempts to resituate intelligibility in the specificity of place are not enacted through a careful translation of experience between victims and perpetrators of colonial violence. At some level, decolonization ought to be conceived as a kind of translation. Emmanuel Levinas' project to "translate" Judaism into Greek is one way of staging such decolonial translation by providing us an internal critique of coloniality while remaining receptive to indigenous inspirations that enrich eco-phenomenological ways of encountering place. In the final instance, however, this paper calls …

Morphodynamics Of Egmont Key At The Mouth Of Tampa Bay: West-Central Florida, Zachary James Tyler

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Egmont Key, located at the mouth of Tampa Bay, is part of a dynamic system with many interrelated natural and anthropogenic factors influencing its morphodynamics. This study started in August 2012. During the 3-year period until August 2015, 28 beach profile transects were established and surveyed 10 times. Seventeen historical aerial images from 1942 to 2013 were geo-rectified and analyzed. Three hundred and fourteen sediment samples were procured from the navigation channel dredge area and the beach nourishment area and analyzed for grain size. A numerical wave model was established to simulate the nearshore wave field. The overall goals of …

Health Care Experiences Of The Uninsured At The Dawn Of The 21st Century, Sylvia Jalil-Gutierrez, Sylvia Jalil-Gutierrez Apr 2016

Health Care Experiences Of The Uninsured At The Dawn Of The 21st Century, Sylvia Jalil-Gutierrez, Sylvia Jalil-Gutierrez

Doctoral Dissertations

Using the framework of critical medical anthropology “Health Care Experiences of the Uninsured at the Dawn of the 21st Century” investigates how those lacking health insurance in a U.S. mid-sized northeastern city strive to meet their health care needs. Fieldwork was based on in-depth semi-structured interviews, participant observation, and demographic data of patients who sought care at a non-government, non-profit primary care mobile health clinic, between November 2012 and July 2013. In addition to exploration of health care seeking strategies, I investigated how migration issues played an important role in the health and health care experiences of participants since 80% …

Reconciliation As Holistic Redemptive Transformation, Mike Langford Apr 2016

Reconciliation As Holistic Redemptive Transformation, Mike Langford

Winifred E. Weter Lectures

"Reconciliation" is a word often used in Christian circles, but almost as often, it is not defined. Sometimes it is used to indicate intimacy with God, sometimes it means merely being nice to other people, and sometimes it refers to an ambiguous concept of justice. To avoid this conceptual reductionism, we can look to the work of 20th-century theologian Karl Barth, who wrote exhaustively on the concept of reconciliation as an ecology of multi-dimensional salvation -- personal, communal, and societal. For Barth, reconciliation means restored relationship in a theological and holistic sense, such that all reality is redemptively transformed by …

Eucharistic Hospitality: A Bi-Directional Dynamic, Levi Nkwocha Apr 2016

Eucharistic Hospitality: A Bi-Directional Dynamic, Levi Nkwocha

Vincentian Studies

Levi Nkwocha explains eucharistic hospitality in two ways, as an act of communion by which we become like Christ through God’s hospitality, and also as an act that commands us to share Christ’s love with all people. As Nkwocha writes, “worship itself is hospitality” and “include[s] the living out or sharing of the faith-based experience.” Nkwocha contends that this community aspect of the eucharist is often lost. He uses the Igbo people’s practice of sharing the kola nut to illustrate eucharistic hospitality. This sharing “celebrates the oneness of those who partake of it, among themselves, and their unity with the …

Whose Reality? A Meta-Analysis Of Qualitative Research In International And Comparative Education, Romina B. Da Costa, Stephanie M. Hall, Anne Spear Apr 2016

Whose Reality? A Meta-Analysis Of Qualitative Research In International And Comparative Education, Romina B. Da Costa, Stephanie M. Hall, Anne Spear

The Qualitative Report

This meta-analysis seeks to critically examine the qualitative research being published in influential journals in the field of international and comparative education in order to determine whether qualitative research has remained true to the constructivist paradigm and its theoretical and philosophical underpinnings. Decades after the heated paradigmatic debates within the field of education in the 1980’s, we seek to examine whether predictions that the constructivist paradigm would be pushed out by the call for post-positivist, quantifiable, data-driven research have come to fruition. Based on a review of all qualitative research published in the past three volumes of five influential journals …

Group Analytics In Adam Smith's Work, David M. Levy, Sandra J. Peart Apr 2016

Group Analytics In Adam Smith's Work, David M. Levy, Sandra J. Peart

Jepson School of Leadership Studies articles, book chapters and other publications

The link between occupation and character began with David Hume and extended by Adam Smith in service to their attack on the doctrine of innate national character. Worker's awareness of the relative approbative rewards to occupation is central to Smith's competitive labor market equilibrium. When the division of labor is extended by growth, the variance of character increases. With this insight Smith was able to offer a race-blind theory of civilization, something that escaped even Hume. 19th century anthropological focus on the variance of character can be seen as a racialization of Smith's work.

Sharing The Sacred: A Tradition Of Mormon Public Education In Kirtland, Ohio, James Stuart Bielo, Kimberly Blake, Daniel Mcclurkin, Seth Boda

Southern Anthropological Society - Annual Conference

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (LDS) has a strong tradition of promoting formal education. This includes several initiatives detailing, preserving, and sharing church history at sites of significance, setting these sites apart as sacred space. In summer 2015 I conducted eight weeks of ethnographic fieldwork at the Kirtland Historic Village, a recreated 19th century town in northeast Ohio. Historic Kirtland’s status as a sacred LDS space, coupled with its high operating costs and low non-LDS visitor attendance, raises the question of why the site stays open to the general public and free of admission. The use of …

Evaluating A Non-Verbal Assessment Tool In Nursing Students And Staff At The University Of Botswana, Michelle Bongermino-Rose, Gary D. James, Sarah H. Gueldner, Celia Grace Murnock Apr 2016

Evaluating A Non-Verbal Assessment Tool In Nursing Students And Staff At The University Of Botswana, Michelle Bongermino-Rose, Gary D. James, Sarah H. Gueldner, Celia Grace Murnock

Faculty Articles

Evaluating well-being in non-Western populations has been hampered by the fact that most psychometric instruments are not culturally sensitive. One possible way to remove cultural biases is by eliminating the verbal content from the assessment. The Well-Being Picture Scale (WPS) is a ten item conceptual assessment that has been used to evaluate well-being in a variety of populations. The purpose of this study was to examine its utility in a sample of nursing students and staff from the University of Botswana in Gaborone, Botswana. The WPS and a traditional English language based depression scale, the Zung Self-rated Depression Scale (SDS) …
