Investigating Disparities In Behavior And Care Between Alaska Native And Non-Hispanic White Victims Of Sexual Violence: The Importance Of Culturally Competent Nursing Care, Danielle Koster
Inquiry: The University of Arkansas Undergraduate Research Journal
The purpose of this research was to determine the existence of health care disparities experienced by Alaska Native women victims of sexual violence and to address the need for sexual assault nurse examiners (SANEs) to provide culturally competent care. This was a secondary data analysis of research collected from over 1,600 Alaska SANE surveys between 1996-2006. Variables investigated included: behaviors during examination, condition during assault, time from assault to report, hospital admittance, injuries sustained, and victim-suspect relationships. Alaska Native women were described as having less controlled behavior, being less cooperative, and less likely to be sober; they also often suffered …
2015-2016 Social Change Review, Social Change Working Group
2015-2016 Social Change Review, Social Change Working Group
Social Change Impact Report
The 2015 Review of Social Change at Walden University identifies a number of initiatives that were put in place during 2015 to actualize and support the social change portion of the university mission. Many of these initiatives implemented proposals offered during the Special Emphasis Self-Study that was part of The Higher Learning Commission (HLC) reaccreditation project of 2012. One of the most important social change initiatives in 2015 emerged from discussions among Walden’s Board of Directors, president, and leadership teams, who agreed that Walden will move forward with development and implementation of a 5-year action plan to more fully realize …
Voting Aggregation Leads To (Interval) Median, Olga Kosheleva, Vladik Kreinovich
Voting Aggregation Leads To (Interval) Median, Olga Kosheleva, Vladik Kreinovich
Departmental Technical Reports (CS)
When we have several results of measuring or estimating the same quantities, it is desirable to aggregate them into a single estimate for the desired quantities. A natural requirement is that if the majority of estimates has some property, then the aggregate estimate should have the same property. It turns out that it is not possible to require this forall possible properties -- but we can require it for bounds, i.e., for properties that the value of the quantity is in between given bounds a and b. In this paper, we prove that if we restrict the …
Do We Have Compatible Concepts Of Epistemic Uncertainty?, Michael Beer, Scott Ferson, Vladik Kreinovich
Do We Have Compatible Concepts Of Epistemic Uncertainty?, Michael Beer, Scott Ferson, Vladik Kreinovich
Departmental Technical Reports (CS)
Epistemic uncertainties appear widely in civil engineering practice. There is a clear consensus that these epistemic uncertainties need to be taken into account for a realistic assessment of the performance and reliability of our structures and systems. However, there is no clearly defined procedure to meet this challenge. In this paper we discuss the phenomena that involve epistemic uncertainties in relation to modeling options. Particular attention is paid to set-theoretical approaches and imprecise probabilities. The respective concepts are categorized, and relationships are highlighted.
Zarahemla Revisited: Neville’S Newest Novel, Matthew Roper, Paul Fields, Larry Bassist
Zarahemla Revisited: Neville’S Newest Novel, Matthew Roper, Paul Fields, Larry Bassist
Interpreter: A Journal of Latter-day Saint Faith and Scholarship
This article is the third in a series of three articles responding to the recent assertion by Jonathan Neville that Benjamin Winchester was the anonymous author of three unsigned editorials published in Nauvoo in 1842 in the Times and Seasons. The topic of the unsigned editorials was the possible relationship of archeological discoveries in Central America to places described in the Book of Mormon narrative. The first article shows that, contrary to Neville’s claims, Winchester was not a proponent of a Mesoamerican setting for the Book of Mormon, but rather a hemispheric one. Since this was a view commonly held …
The More Part Of The Book Of Mormon Is Early Modern English, Stanford Carmack
The More Part Of The Book Of Mormon Is Early Modern English, Stanford Carmack
Interpreter: A Journal of Latter-day Saint Faith and Scholarship
Royal Skousen has done an excellent job of summarizing the use of the construction “the more part of + ‹ NOUN PHRASE ›” (and close variants) in the Book of Mormon at Helaman 6:21 in his Analysis of Textual Variants.1 In this phrase, the adjective more conveys an obsolete meaning of ‘greater’.2 My concern here is to compare Book of Mormon usage to that of the King James Bible and the textual record and to place it in its proper time.
Joseph Smith Read The Words, Standford Carmack
Joseph Smith Read The Words, Standford Carmack
Interpreter: A Journal of Latter-day Saint Faith and Scholarship
This study examines the assertions of two investigators who have discussed the nature of the translation of the Book of Mormon and Joseph Smith’s role in it: Brant Gardner and Orson Scott Card. Their writings on the subject have declared that Smith’s own language frequently made its way into the wording of the Book of Mormon. However, a comparison of the earliest text with the textual record tells us that this is an incorrect view of the translation. The linguistic fingerprint of the Book of Mormon, in hundreds of different ways, is Early Modern English. Smith himself — out of …
The Case Of Plural Was In The Earliest Text, Standford Carmack
The Case Of Plural Was In The Earliest Text, Standford Carmack
Interpreter: A Journal of Latter-day Saint Faith and Scholarship
Because it is primarily an Early Modern English text (in terms of its English language), the earliest text of the Book of Mormon understandably employs plural was — for example, “the words which was delivered” (Alma 5:11). It does so in a way that is substantially similar to what is found in many writings of the Early Modern period — that is, it manifests the syntactic usage, variation, and differential rates typical of that era.
“Idle And Slothful Strange Stories”: Book Of Mormon Origins And The Historical Record, Neal Rappleye
“Idle And Slothful Strange Stories”: Book Of Mormon Origins And The Historical Record, Neal Rappleye
Interpreter: A Journal of Latter-day Saint Faith and Scholarship
From the very beginning, Joseph’s story about the origins of the Book of Mormon seemed wild and unbelievable. Today, however, Joseph’s account enjoys a high degree of corroboration from (1) eyewitness accounts confirming Joseph’s possession of actual metal plates and other artifacts, with some even corroborating the involvement of an angel in providing access to the record; (2) eyewitness reports on the process of producing the text; and (3) evidence from the original manuscript. This evidence is reviewed here, and the implications it has for the Book of Mormon’s origin are considered.
Reading A Pentecostal Reads The Book Of Mormon, Stephen O. Smoot
Reading A Pentecostal Reads The Book Of Mormon, Stephen O. Smoot
Interpreter: A Journal of Latter-day Saint Faith and Scholarship
In recent years the Book of Mormon has enjoyed increased attention from the scholarly world.1 This is entirely welcomed by the Latter-day Saints, especially when such attention comes from a place of fairness and open-mindedness. A praiseworthy example of how non-Mormon academics can fruitfully engage the Book of Mormon is John Cristopher Thomas’s new volume A Pentecostal Reads the Book of Mormon: A Literary and Theological Introduction.2 Thomas is well-equipped to approach the Book of Mormon on a literary and theological angle. He is, after all, an erudite biblical scholar whose work on New Testament text and theology has appeared …
The Ethics And Politics Of Child Naming, Eldar Sarajlic
The Ethics And Politics Of Child Naming, Eldar Sarajlic
Publications and Research
This article examines the issue of justification of government’s intervention in the parental acts of child naming, a neglected topic in the recent philosophical literature. It questions the ability of some of the current theories in family ethics to respond to this problem and argues that both permissive and restrictive theories fail to provide a plausible argument about the proper limits of government regulation of child naming practices. The article outlines an alternative solution that focuses on the child’s right to authenticity and suggests that only those names that infringe upon this right invite justified state intervention.
Some Wild Bouquet : Cultural Hybridity In The American Home, Sara Sarmiento
Some Wild Bouquet : Cultural Hybridity In The American Home, Sara Sarmiento
Theses & ETDs
The graphic novel memoir utilizes the ubiquity and accessibility found in cartoon imagery to create an intimate understanding between artist and audience, providing the best route for an ethical retelling of traumanarrative. Through my own personal, lighthearted, and sometimes humorous retelling of memories and experiences of displacement and clashing family dynamics in Some Wild Bouquet , a digitally illustrated graphic memoir, I am able to tell a story of cultural hybridity that speaks to those who share these stories, as well as those who wouldn't normally be privy to them. In following the precedent set for autobiographical graphic novel, or …
Are You Taiwanren Or Taioanlang? A Study Of Linguistic Hybridity And Identity Formation In Taiwanese Cinema, Margaret Rose Higgins
Are You Taiwanren Or Taioanlang? A Study Of Linguistic Hybridity And Identity Formation In Taiwanese Cinema, Margaret Rose Higgins
Theses & ETDs
For most of its contemporary history, Taiwan was colonized by foreign governments. Taiwan was ceded to Japan by the Qing dynasty at the conclusion of the First Sino-Japanese war in 1895. Upon Japan’s defeat in World War II, the Nationalist Party [KMT] replaced Japan as the ruling government party on Taiwan. As a result of the institution of different “official” languages and cultures on the island by the ruling governments, the question of a distinctly Taiwanese identity remains highly contested. This thesis explores linguistic hybridity in Taiwanese films and the effect that language choice has on the characters’ identity formation …
Music To Whose Ears? The Effects Of Cognitive Load On Preferential Judgment Of Certain Pitch-Intervals, Jackson Hughes
Music To Whose Ears? The Effects Of Cognitive Load On Preferential Judgment Of Certain Pitch-Intervals, Jackson Hughes
Theses & ETDs
Western listeners tend to exhibit a preference for consonant music. Many have argued that this preference is innate, citing ideas like roughness theory and pitch-interval frequency ratio theory as evidence that the perception of consonance is governed by specific acoustic properties inherent to consonant intervals. However, another line of research suggests that perceptions of consonance and dissonance are based more upon expectations generated by previous music experience. Though much study has been conducted in this field, a gap exists concerning the depth of the cognitive processes through which musical stimuli are judged as consonant or dissonant. In an experiment designed …
The Louder My Voice The Deeper They Bury Me: Resistance Poetics In The Modern United States Prison, Hannah Bowlus
The Louder My Voice The Deeper They Bury Me: Resistance Poetics In The Modern United States Prison, Hannah Bowlus
Theses & ETDs
This thesis examines the works of Etheridge Knight, particularly his first book of poetry, Poems From Prison, Look for Me in the Whirlwind: The Autobiography of the New York 21, and C.D. Wright’s One Big Self in the context of the prison literature genre and the history of the United States. All texts seek to negotiate the politically and artistically stifling air of the prison and its routinized mechanisms of censorship and surveillance while attempting to make their work relevant to the unimprisoned U.S. populace. In my first chapter, I discuss Etheridge Knight’s relation to a history of resistance and …
A Critical Ethnography Of Difference, Boundaries Of Belonging, And Race In New Orleans Second Line Parades, Adriana Noemi Diaz
A Critical Ethnography Of Difference, Boundaries Of Belonging, And Race In New Orleans Second Line Parades, Adriana Noemi Diaz
Theses & ETDs
This thesis uses the frameworks of “doing difference” (West and Fenstermaker 1995) and “boundary work” (Lamont 2002) to examine how people construct categories of belonging in Second Line communities in New Orleans, Louisiana. While I use the concept of “doing difference” in this thesis to refer to the enactment and accomplishment of existing categories of difference, I use “boundary work” to refer to the performative acts through which individuals constitute categories of difference. Second Line is a public participatory parade local to New Orleans that stems from colonial gatherings in Congo Square. There are two main forms of Second Line …
Rave, Symbol, Ritual And Cyborg: The Nature Of Post-Technological Spiritual Experience, Shelby Grey Felder
Rave, Symbol, Ritual And Cyborg: The Nature Of Post-Technological Spiritual Experience, Shelby Grey Felder
Theses & ETDs
This thesis explores Raves, which are all-night dance parties in secret locations, are particularly based around Electronic Dance Music. Raves usually feature loud, bass-heavy music, sex, substance use, rituals, dancing and community. Since there are illegal elements involved, as well as young adults and even sometimes youth involvement, most academic understandings of rave and rave culture ignore the blatantly ritualistic, transcendent, and I argue, religious elements of these unique experiences. In light of ritual theory, philosophy of religion, and the religiosity of technology, I ask if these raves are in fact, religious. I first define religion, according to Clifford Geertz, …
Living Office In A Living Communtiy: A Proposal For A Tribal Historical Preservation Office Based Archaeology, Garrett R. Murto
Living Office In A Living Communtiy: A Proposal For A Tribal Historical Preservation Office Based Archaeology, Garrett R. Murto
Theses & ETDs
In the last two decades there have been simultaneous calls in the field of archaeology for increased interaction and collaboration with indigenous communities as well as for new, pragmatic methodological approaches. By reviewing the history and literature of Indigenous archaeology theory and through ethnographic participant observations and interviews of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians Tribal Historical Preservation Office (THPO) both of these calls can be answered. By synthesizing Indigenous theory and ethnography, the pragmatic model of THPO-Based archaeology emerges as the most effective approach to the archaeology of the ancestral sites of federally recognized tribes in the United States.
Cosplay At The Con: The Negotiation Of Text, Identity, And Performance, L. Blackburn
Cosplay At The Con: The Negotiation Of Text, Identity, And Performance, L. Blackburn
Theses & ETDs
This thesis explores cosplay at two Florida conventions and approaches cosplay as a fandom production and as a performance. I discuss how cosplay functions in the convention space as a fan production that interprets mass media and creates new meanings and texts, working with Fiske’s analysis of active audiences in Television Culture. I also explore how cosplay performance is negotiated within the social space of the convention, which is approached using language produced by Richard Schechner in his book Between Anthropology and Theatre. Through participant-observation at the 2014 conventions of Chibi-Pa and Holiday Matsuri and unstructured interviews with cosplayers, I …
Baianidade: A Case Study On The Impact Of Afro-Brazilian Ethnic Tourism On Regional Identity And Development In Bahia, Madeleine Yount
Baianidade: A Case Study On The Impact Of Afro-Brazilian Ethnic Tourism On Regional Identity And Development In Bahia, Madeleine Yount
Theses & ETDs
Afro-Brazilian identity and its role in Brazilian national identity have been negotiated and renegotiated since the Portuguese first began to enslave African peoples in 1550. Yet in the most economically marginalized region in Brazil, Afro-Brazilian culture is exalted as a major influence on regional identity and, in some ways, development. One of the ways in which Afro-Brazilian identity in the Northeast shapes regional identity and development is through the ethnic tourism industry. The examination of ethnic tourism policies within this marginalized state can point to how Brazil is consolidating Afro-Brazilian identity in their burgeoning democratic nation. Nowhere is state-sponsored Afro-Brazilian …
A Computational Method For Comparative Greek And Latin Prosimetrics, Joseph Tyler Kirby
A Computational Method For Comparative Greek And Latin Prosimetrics, Joseph Tyler Kirby
Theses & ETDs
Advances in technology now allow classicists to automate philological processes like scansion so that many more texts may be analyzed. Additionally, data science has much to offer the classics, since the corpus is static and contains many structured data points. In this thesis, I will propose a new philological method of analysis combing these two innovations, specifically a comparative method for Greek and Latin prosimetrics. The method will compare the prose rhythms of Greek and Latin texts by creating rhythmic profiles for each text so that they may be quantitatively analyzed. Chapters one and two detail the philological and computational …
