Yuli's Story: Using Educational Policy To Achieve Cultural Genocide, Katrina Johnson Leon
Yuli's Story: Using Educational Policy To Achieve Cultural Genocide, Katrina Johnson Leon
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
All children residing in the United States have the right to a quality education. At least that is our collective expectation. Through the lived experience of Yuli, a Native American woman from the Southwest, you will discover, due to her birth on a remote reservation, she was not given the same access to education you or I would expect. On Yuli’s reservation, the school system is managed by the Bureau of Indian Education (BIE). Rather than provide K-12 schooling, the BIE operates K-8 on her reservation and then Native youth who want to go to high school must move off-reservation. …
Assuming The Worst: Eliminating The Forcibly Steals Element From Second-Degree Robbery, Ross Valore
Assuming The Worst: Eliminating The Forcibly Steals Element From Second-Degree Robbery, Ross Valore
Missouri Law Review
This Note begins with an exploration of the factual circumstances that gave rise to the court’s determination that an objective standard should be applied when determining whether a threat of the immediate use of physical force exists in second-degree robbery cases. This Note then discusses the conflict among Missouri appellate courts regarding the determination of whether a threat of force exists, while also looking at how other states have handled this issue. Next, this Note provides an analysis of the Supreme Court of Missouri’s reasoning in Brooks and, finally, explores how the objective standard articulated by the court will be …
Animal Rights Unraveled: Why Abolitionism Collapses Into Welfarism And What It Means For Animal Ethics, Luis E. Chiesa
Animal Rights Unraveled: Why Abolitionism Collapses Into Welfarism And What It Means For Animal Ethics, Luis E. Chiesa
Journal Articles
Most people support laws that seek to reduce the suffering of animals. Yet animal cruelty statutes and other kinds of animal welfare laws are under sustained attack by the so-called abolitionists. Animal rights abolitionists claim that it is categorically wrong to treat animals as commodities, and animal welfare laws should be opposed because they do not alter the property status of animals. Abolitionists also claim that animal welfare regulations do not meaningfully reduce animal suffering. In fact, abolitionists argue that such statutes likely increase future animal suffering, either by delaying the advent of abolition or by soothing the conscience of …

Emory Law Journal Online
Tucked inside the title page of David Lat's Supreme Ambitions, just after a note giving credit for the cover design and before the copyright notice, sits a standard disclaimer of the sort that appears in all novels: 'This is a work of fiction. Names, characters, places, and events either are the products of the author's imagination or are used fictitiously. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, events or locales is entirely coincidental.' These may be the most truly fictional words in the entire book. Supreme Ambitions' observations about judging, clerking, prestige and the culture of elite law schools …
A New Threat To The Viability Of Campaign Contribution Limits, Brent Ferguson
A New Threat To The Viability Of Campaign Contribution Limits, Brent Ferguson
Emory Law Journal Online
In July, the Wisconsin Supreme Court held that it violates the First Amendment to prevent political candidates from coordinating with outside spending groups like Super PACs if the groups' ads do not expressly advocate the election or defeat of a candidate. The decision is erroneous under federal precedent and fundamentally misunderstands the Supreme Court's holdings distinguishing between independent spending and spending coordinated with a candidate. Wisconsin's regulatory scheme will be largely inoperable for the time being: Contribution limits will be fairly meaningless, at least for sophisticated actors who seek to circumvent them. And the logic of the decision leads to …
Response To Tuerkheimer: Rape On And Off Campus: The Vulnerable Subject Of Rape Law: Rethinking Agency And Consent, Stu Marvel
Emory Law Journal Online
Tuerkheimer's article for the Emory Law Journal, Rape On and Off Campus, extends her earlier work on sexual agency, consent, and the inadequate nature of U.S. rape law to examine the disconnect between widely acknowledged cultural norms around sex, and the stubborn recalcitrance of rape laws to social reform. This response applies some of the insights of vulnerability theory to Tuerkheimer's piece with the goal of extending these important conversations into new analytical fields. The theory provides a useful vantage upon the systemic and historical patterns of inequality that lead to violence against women, as well as the legal and …

A Computational Study On Different Penalty Approaches For Constrained Optimization In Radiation Therapy Treatment Planning With A Simulated Annealing Algorithm, Khoroushadi Mohammad Sadegh Mohammadi
A Computational Study On Different Penalty Approaches For Constrained Optimization In Radiation Therapy Treatment Planning With A Simulated Annealing Algorithm, Khoroushadi Mohammad Sadegh Mohammadi
Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2010 - 2019
Intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) is a cancer treatment method in which the intensities of the radiation beams are modulated; therefore these beams have non-uniform radiation intensities. The overall result is the delivery of the prescribed dose in the target volume. The dose distribution is conformal to the shape of the target and minimizes the dose to the nearby critical organs. An inverse planning algorithm is used to obtain those non-uniform beam intensities. In inverse treatment planning, the treatment plan is achieved by using an optimization process. The optimized plan results to a high-quality dose distribution in the planning target …
A Content Analysis On Police Killings Of Unarmed Black Males: An Assessment On Experts' Quotes In National News Sources, Christopher Fulcher
A Content Analysis On Police Killings Of Unarmed Black Males: An Assessment On Experts' Quotes In National News Sources, Christopher Fulcher
Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2010 - 2019
There is increasing concern in news media sources regarding police killings of unarmed Black males. However, there is limited research on the portrayal of such incidents in the news and the implications for police-community relations in African- American communities. In order to address this gap, this study analyzed 120 experts’ quotes provided by two of the largest and most respected newspapers in the United States -- the New York Times and USA Today. This research comprised a content analysis of quotes related to the deaths of Eric Garner (Staten Island, New York), Michael Brown (Ferguson, Missouri), and Freddie Gray (Baltimore …
Can I Ask For Help? The Relationship Among Incarcerated Males’ Sexual Orientation, Incarceration History, And Perceptions Of Rape In Prison, Mina Ratkalkar
Can I Ask For Help? The Relationship Among Incarcerated Males’ Sexual Orientation, Incarceration History, And Perceptions Of Rape In Prison, Mina Ratkalkar
Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2010 - 2019
In 2003, Congress passed the Prison Rape Elimination Act to address the problem of sexual violence in prison. Although research has shed light on the prevalence and incidence of sexual violence in U.S. prisons, few studies examine inmates’ perceptions of rape and safety from rape in prison. This study examined rape perceptions and the likelihood to seek mental health treatment in prison of three distinct groups of male inmates who are at greater risk of sexual victimization or exposure to sexual violence while incarcerated: gay and bisexual inmates, inmates with a juvenile incarceration history, and inmates who were first incarcerated …

Benthic Foraminiferal Assemblages From Pulau Karangmadjat, Mentawai Islands, Indonesia, Christine N. Garcia
Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2010 - 2019
Globally, coral reefs are in severe decline (Jackson et al., 2001) and face potential extinction of 1/3 of reef species by 2050 (Veron, 2011). This decline is the result of the inability of coral communities to recover after disturbance events, often resulting in a shift from coral- to macro-algal dominated regimes. Reef resources managers are in need of tools to assess the condition of these ecosystems prior to, during, and post disturbance, especially in regions of the world where coral cover and diversity are high, yet management resources are scarce. Foraminifera have been widely utilized as bioindicators in both modern …
Charge Regulation Of A Surface Immersed In An Electrolyte Solution, Pramod Acharya
Charge Regulation Of A Surface Immersed In An Electrolyte Solution, Pramod Acharya
Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2010 - 2019
In this thesis, we investigate theoretically a new model of charge regulation of a single charged planar surface immersed in an aqueous electrolyte solution. Assuming that the adsorbed ions are mobile in the charged plane, we formulate a field theory of charge regulation where the numbers of adsorbed ions can be determined consistently by equating the chemical potentials of the adsorbed ions to that of the ions in the bulk. We analyze the mean-field treatment of the model for electrolyte of arbitrary valences, and then beyond, where correlation effects are systematically taken into account in a loop expansion. In particular, …
An Algorithm For The Automated Interpretation Of Cardiac Auscultation, Claude Lieber
An Algorithm For The Automated Interpretation Of Cardiac Auscultation, Claude Lieber
Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2010 - 2019
Cardiac auscultation, an important part of the physical examination, is difficult for many primary care providers. As a result, diagnoses are missed or auscultatory signs misinterpreted. A reliable, automated means of interpreting cardiac auscultation should be of benefit to both the primary care provider and to patients. This paper explores a novel approach to this problem and develops an algorithm that can be expanded to include all the necessary electronics and programming to develop such a device. The algorithm is explained and its shortcomings exposed. The potential for further development is also expounded.

A Modeling Study On The Effects Of Seagrass Beds On The Hydrodynamics In The Indian River Lagoon, Md Ahsan Habib
A Modeling Study On The Effects Of Seagrass Beds On The Hydrodynamics In The Indian River Lagoon, Md Ahsan Habib
Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2010 - 2019
Seagrass is a key stone component for the Indian River Lagoon (IRL) ecosystem, and therefore it is an important topic for many studies in the lagoon. This study focuses on the effects of seagrass beds on the hydrodynamics in the IRL. A hydrodynamic model based on the Delft3D modeling system has been developed for the southern IRL including the St. Lucie estuary, Ft. Pierce and St. Lucie Inlets, and adjacent coastal waters. The model is driven by freshwater inputs from the watershed, tides, meteorological forcing, and oceanic boundary forcing. The model has been systematically calibrated through a series of numerical …

Assessment Of Changes In Precipitation Data Characteristics Due To Infilling By Spatially Interpolated Estimates, Mohammad Hachmi
Assessment Of Changes In Precipitation Data Characteristics Due To Infilling By Spatially Interpolated Estimates, Mohammad Hachmi
Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2010 - 2019
Spatial and temporal interpolation methods are commonly used methods for estimating missing precipitation rain gauge data based on values recorded at neighboring gauges. However, these interpolation methods have not been comprehensively checked for their ability to preserve time series characteristics. Assessing the preservation of time series characteristics helps achieving a threshold criteria of length of gaps in a data set that is acceptable to be filled. This study evaluates the efficacy of optimal weighting interpolation for estimation of missing data in preserving time series characteristics. Rain gauges in the state of Kentucky are used as a case study. Several model …
Can Priming A Firm’S Organizational Identity Overcome The Influences Of National Culture On Auditor Judgment?, Michael Killey
Can Priming A Firm’S Organizational Identity Overcome The Influences Of National Culture On Auditor Judgment?, Michael Killey
Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2010 - 2019
A significant challenge faced by large auditing firms is offering consistent quality across the global network. Unfortunately, variation in judgments and decision-making, resulting from cultural differences, can undermine the provision of a uniform level of audit quality for these international firms. Previous research has determined that national culture influences an auditors’ professional judgments and decisions. Relying on Social Identity Theory, I explore whether inducing one’s organizational identification can both enhance auditor judgment and mitigate any deleterious impact that culture may have on the provision of a uniform level of audit quality. I also examine current cultural variations in auditor judgment …
Between Rock Cairns And Charm Stones: An Examination Of Women’S Access To Healing Roles In California Hunter-Gatherer Groups, Ashley Hampton
Between Rock Cairns And Charm Stones: An Examination Of Women’S Access To Healing Roles In California Hunter-Gatherer Groups, Ashley Hampton
Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2010 - 2019
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the validity of previous theories concerning women’s access to roles of power within hunter-gatherer societies. This study examines how accurately immanent social identity theory and bifurcated role circumstantiality predict women’s access to the role of healer (shaman) within California hunter-gatherer groups. A sample of 27 California hunter-gatherer groups was analyzed using both qualitative and quantitative methods. Notably, chi-square tests of independence evinced a correlation between men’s and women’s circumstantial labor and observed healer gender. Through the statistical verification of such engendered ideas, this study tests notions concerning the strict binary division of …
Beyond Water Restrictions: Informing Effective Lawn Watering Behavior, Felicia D. Survis
Beyond Water Restrictions: Informing Effective Lawn Watering Behavior, Felicia D. Survis
Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2010 - 2019
Evaluating trends of historical rainfall on a weekly and seasonal basis is needed for optimizing the design and implementation of lawn water conservation strategies like outdoor water restrictions. While “day of the week” water restrictions are a typical strategy to limit the frequency and duration of urban lawn water use, they may not necessarily result in more conservative behaviors from end-users. Because weekly rainfall and local climate variables are seldom taken into account in water restriction strategies, they are not connected to actual lawn water demand. However, since lawn water demand is directly related to weekly rainfall totals, not to …

Assessing Processes Of Connection And Development In Observations Of The Therapeutic Relationship, Robert R. Freund
Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2010 - 2019
The present study applies Driver and Gottman’s (2004a) Turning System to observations of the therapeutic relationship in a quasi-experimental between and within groups design. A sample of 63 full counseling sessions (21 first sessions with clients who return for four sessions, 21 first sessions for clients who terminate therapy prior to four sessions, and 21 fourth sessions) were collected from a university counseling center in South Florida. Clients and clinicians also completed self report evaluations of the therapeutic relationship that were also included in this study (Working Alliance Inventory – Short Form, and the Real Relationship Inventory). A series of …
Cognitive Dissonance And Auditor Professional Skepticism, Ruwan K. Adikaram
Cognitive Dissonance And Auditor Professional Skepticism, Ruwan K. Adikaram
Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2010 - 2019
I show that auditors experience cognitive dissonance when they fail to take appropriate professionally skeptical (hereafter PS) action in line with high PS judgment I specifically show that cognitive dissonance leads auditors to revise their attitudes on low ranking audit actions upward and lower their risk assessments, consequently, lower overall professional skepticism I also find that auditor cognitive dissonance leads to exaggerated ex-post auditor self-assessments professional skepticism Professional skepticism is fundamental to performing an audit according to auditing standards and critical to audit quality Extant research that investigates treatments to enhance professional skepticism predominantly treats both skeptical judgment and skeptical …

An Inquiry Into Fire Service Consolidation And The Economies Of Scale Debate: The Centralization Versus Decentralization Argument, Iii Salvatore A D’Angelo
Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2010 - 2019
Addressing the current homeland security challenges requires scholars, practitioners, elected officials, and community partners working in unison to mitigate the hazards confronting first responders. Built on public choice theory, this research addressed a specific component of the emergency preparedness matrix: the most preferred fire service organizational design. The fire department organizational designs in this study included a Florida county, city, and independent special control fire district (ISFCD) that serve residents on a full-time platform. The concurrent embedded methodology used attempted to unearth which organizational design achieves economies of scale based on quarterly emergency service calls: the centralized county model or …
A Whiteheadian Interpretation Of The Zoharic Creation Story, Michael Gold
A Whiteheadian Interpretation Of The Zoharic Creation Story, Michael Gold
Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2010 - 2019
This dissertation presents a Whiteheadian interpretation of the notions of mind, immanence and process as they are addressed in the Zohar. According to many scholars, this kabbalistic creation story as portrayed in the Zohar is a reaction to the earlier rabbinic concept of God qua creator, which emphasized divine transcendence over divine immanence. The medieval Jewish philosophers, particularly Maimonides influenced by Aristotle, placed particular emphasis on divine transcendence, seeing a radical separation between Creator and creation. With this in mind, these scholars claim that one of the goals of the Zohar’s creation story was to emphasize God’s immanence within creation. …
