Nature Versus Technology: Which Is More Appealing To Youth Ages 11-14?, Micky Lyn Zurcher
Nature Versus Technology: Which Is More Appealing To Youth Ages 11-14?, Micky Lyn Zurcher
Sociology and Anthropology
Recent studies show playtime for youth has shifted from playing outdoors to being connected to a screen-based device. This study examines the amount of time youth ages 11-14 are spending in nature versus the amount of time they are spending connected to a screen-based device. The Drift Prairie group (N=16) spent a day in the great outdoors interacting with their peers and nature. The Comparison group (N=19) was randomly selected from a local 4-H organization. Both the Drift Prairie group and the Comparison group were surveyed using a questionnaire. The Drift Prairie group response was 62.6% active in nature whereas …
Ghosts And Graveyards: Colonial Park Cemetery And Memory Construction On Ghost Tours In Savannah, Georgia, Brenna Elizabeth Weston
Ghosts And Graveyards: Colonial Park Cemetery And Memory Construction On Ghost Tours In Savannah, Georgia, Brenna Elizabeth Weston
Sociology and Anthropology
This thesis examines memory construction and landscape interaction on ghost tours at Colonial Park Cemetery in Savannah, Georgia. The research in this thesis centers on the ways in which ghost tours in the area interact with the cemetery’s landscape and how oral narratives compare with written sources through the lenses of authority and authenticity. Ghost tour narratives are included in a larger argument for their usefulness and importance to archaeologists, especially for introducing dialogues with local communities about site interpretation and preservation. This may also be useful for archaeologists researching intersections of landscape interactions and modern interpretations.
Exploring The Gendered Differences Within The Service Industry, Mariah Jeau Bartholomay
Exploring The Gendered Differences Within The Service Industry, Mariah Jeau Bartholomay
Sociology and Anthropology
For this study, I sought to understand the demands women face in their everyday lives and how these demands may impact how differing genders perform their jobs in the service industry. I utilized qualitative research methods to analyze focus group transcripts and examine servers who worked in Fargo, ND. For this study, I set out to understand two research questions: 1) Do women and men’s gender performativity impact their work as servers and/or bartenders? and 2) Do the differences in performativity impact servers’ and/or bartenders’ perception of gender equality in the workplace? I found that men and women experience their …

An Overview Of The Issues In Evaluating Special Educators: Current Challenges And Recent Developments, Gavin W. Watts
Special Education Faculty Publications (Archived)
Teachers have always been evaluated in some way; yet, current roles in the classroom have shifted to more scientific and data based approaches to teacher evaluation. These specialized approaches to teaching and evaluation have raised questions about using a single or uniform tool to assess educators. Special educators are particularly impacted by teacher evaluations since their roles require unique instructional and behavioral management skills. In addition to the range of technical and socio-emotional competencies, special educators are responsible for ensuring that all of their students' learning and academic needs are met. In this backgrounder, the author first provides a brief …

Psychology Faculty Publications (Archived)
Marine mammal behavior and cognition researchers often face a number of challenges, including the research subjects’ lack of interest and verbal abilities, as well as choosing a paradigm with appropriate stimuli for the subjects’ perceptual and cognitive abilities. Researchers who work with human infants often encounter similar challenges when studying infant cognition and have developed strategies to overcome these challenges, including using stimuli that capture the infants’ attention, determining what tasks are age-appropriate, and using conditioned responses to test discrimination abilities. This paper encourages marine mammal researchers to learn from the research paradigms and techniques used in human infant research …

Combating Youth Depression In Primary Care, Kayla Lynn Chesley
Nursing
Youth depression is a serious mental health disorder that may have detrimental consequences. Half of all lifetime cases of mental illness begin before the age of 14 (Hagan, Shaw, & Duncan, 2008). Depression in youth is linked to increased morbidity and mortality, along with high-risk behaviors. Mental health and mood disorders are the leading cause of illness and burden among youth (Patel, 2013). Nationally, suicide is the third leading cause of death for individuals aged 15 to 24. In North Dakota, suicide is the first leading cause of death for individuals aged 15 to 24 (American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, …

Does Social Support Influence Bulimic Behaviors Through Its Impact On Cognitive Appraisal, Mun Yee Kwan
Does Social Support Influence Bulimic Behaviors Through Its Impact On Cognitive Appraisal, Mun Yee Kwan
Psychology
Social support is one of many interpersonal functions that is impaired among individuals with bulimia nervosa. The buffering hypothesis of social support posits that social support shields the deleterious impact of stress on bulimic behaviors. However, the specific mechanism by which social support protects against the negative impact of stress on bulimic symptoms remains to be clarified. To investigate this mechanism, two studies examined the potential role of cognitive appraisal as a mediator in the relationship between social support and bulimic behaviors among undergraduate students. Study 1 was a longitudinal, naturalistic study in which participants completed online surveys at two …
Do Highly Mindful Individuals Experience Less Interference As A Result Of Better Attention Control And Emotion Regulation?, Tharaki Javendra Siyaguna
Do Highly Mindful Individuals Experience Less Interference As A Result Of Better Attention Control And Emotion Regulation?, Tharaki Javendra Siyaguna
Psychology
Mindfulness has been found to be beneficial to psychological health. Furthermore, research suggests that mindfulness is associated with better attention control and fewer difficulties in emotion regulation. The purpose of the current study was twofold. First I investigated whether attention control and emotion regulation are mechanisms of mindfulness that aid performance on two cognitive tasks. Second, I investigated whether mindfulness moderates the relationship between rumination, a risk factor for mental health, and cognitive interference. In this study, participants completed two cognitive tasks that measure interference from emotional stimuli. They also completed self-report questionnaires that measure levels of mindfulness, attention control, …

Visuospatial Attention And Autism Spectrum Trait Expression, Benjamin Andrew Stettler
Psychology
Pseudoneglect (PN: Bowers & Heilman, 1980) references neurotypical leftward attentional bias reflective of right hemisphere (RH) specialization for spatial attention. Phasic visual cues can alter PN magnitude (McCourt et al., 2005). Tonic leftward bisection error for Uncued (UC) lines and its modulation with left (LC) and right (RC) cues were confirmed. Reported Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) neurobehavioral concomitants include greater lateralized RH function (Floris et al., 2015), narrowed visuospatial attentional spotlight (Robertson et al., 2013), reduced leftward bias in the grayscales task (English et al., 2015), and facial processing deficits. Neurotypical individuals’ judgments for chimeric faces and cued line bisection …
Effectors And Effector Delivery In Magnaporthe Oryzae, Thakshayni Thevathasan
Effectors And Effector Delivery In Magnaporthe Oryzae, Thakshayni Thevathasan
Plant Pathology
Rice blast, caused by the fungus Magnaporthe oryzae, is one of the most destructive rice diseases. All plant parts can be affected including leaves, leaf collars, necks, panicles, pedicels, and seeds. The disease symptoms are caused in part by the effectors produced by Magnaporthe oryzae. Magnaporthe oryzae apoplastic effectors are secreted from invasive hyphae into the extracellular compartment through the conventional secretory pathway, Golgi complex to the plasma membrane, and are released into the apoplastic space. The biotrophic interfacial complex (BIC) appears to be the site of transfer of some of the cytoplasmic effectors into the host. Experimental results suggest …
How Could This Happen: Explaining The Holocaust By Dan Mcmillan (New York: Basic Books, 2014. 288 Pp. $27.99 Isbn 978-0-465-08024-3)., Sondra Perl
Journal of Hate Studies
Eighty-two years after Hitler became Reich Chancellor of Germany, seventy-seven years after Kristallnacht, seventy years after the liberation of Auschwitz: time makes no difference. The Holocaust remains an inexplicable phenomenon, the catastrophe of catastrophes, an omnipresent stain on the soul of humanity. In his thoughtful book, Dan McMillan attempts, with remarkable success, to demystify the Shoah, to explain how it happened and why. In doing so, McMillan is well aware of the pitfalls: to explain means to understand; to understand, to render the incomprehensible comprehensible, is to challenge the special status of the Holocaust as unique.

Effectiveness And Simulated Impacts Of Produced Water As A Dust Abatement In Western North Dakota, Kayla Marie Graber
Natural Resources Management
A road dust abatement alternative that has been considered in the Bakken and Three Forks formations is oil-well produced waters. Three previously untreated gravel roads were selected and passive dust collectors were utilized. The objectives of this study were to: 1) simulate produced water’s potential impacts to gravel road materials; 2) compare dust loading at abated and control sites to determine effectiveness; and 3) identify the elemental differences in the dust at abated and control sites. Electrical conductivity has the greatest influence on dispersion probability and clay mineralogy of the road influences the probability of dispersion. Produced water failed to …
