To Know A Bāthā: Family Language Socialization Among Buddhist Immigrants From Myanmar In New York City, Chu M. Paing

Journal of Southeast Asian American Education and Advancement

While there is a rising number of research on Heritage Language Maintenance among East Asian immigrants, there have been very few research done on Southeast Asian minority heritage language maintenance. The purpose of this paper is to shed the light on the practices and ideologies towards heritage language maintenance in two Buddhist immigrant families from Myanmar residing in New York City. This paper approaches the topic of heritage language maintenance by employing Elinor Ochs and Bambi Schieffelin’s (1984) theoretical framework on language socialization, i.e., socializing U.S. born Burmese children to become competent members of both their heritage and American societies. …

Subsets Of Vertices Of The Same Size And The Same Maximum Distance, Maria Axenovich, Dominik Duerrschnabel

Theory & Applications of Graphs

For a simple connected graph G=(V,E) and a subset X of its vertices, let

d*(X) = max {dist}_G(x,y): x,y ∈ X}

and let h*(G) be the largest k such that there are disjoint vertex subsets A and B of G, each of size k such that d*(A) = d*(B). Let h*(n) = min {h*(G): |V(G)|=n}. We prove that h*(n) =⌊(n+1)/3 ⌋, for n ≥ 6. This solves the homometric set problem restricted to the largest distance exactly. In addition we compare h*(G) with a respective function h_diam(G), where …

Balancing The Competing Functions Of Patent Post-Grant Proceedings, Michael Xun Liu

Journal of Intellectual Property Law

Since the 1980s, the United States Patent and Trademark Office has amended or revoked patents through post-grant proceedings. These are quasi-judicial proceedings that are often used to resolve patent disputes. But aside from adjudicating private disputes, post-grant proceedings also aim to protect the public against invalid patents, create more certainty in patent rights, and bolster confidence in the patent system. These functions are often described as “examinational” because they rely on the PTO’s ability to reexamine the validity of issued patents.

This Article explores the extent to which post-grant proceedings under the America Invents Act (AIA) perform examinational functions. Although …

Come Get A Taste Of Our "Pb And J: Positive Behavior Journey", Ulysses J. Smallwood, Kine' Geathers

Georgia Association for Positive Behavior Support Conference

Established in 1971, Seaborn Lee has long been known as a place parents can confidently send their children. However, as times changed, Seaborn Lee started to experience challenges in behavior, discipline, and how the staff responded to those challenges. Prior to implementing School Wide Positive Behavioral Interventions and Support (SWPBIS), students were missing more days of class than there were school days in the year. In 2012-2013, administrators reported nearly 300 behavior incidents that led to students missing instruction and 421 days in which students were suspended or in office time out. The types of behaviors which were leading to …

Pbis Work-Ready Words Can Impact School, Home, Community Climates, Pam P. Brooks Mrs., Clair Atkins

Georgia Association for Positive Behavior Support Conference

The Pierce County Teachers chose Work Ready Words, one to be used per month, and tied them to the school's PBIS Expectations. These words would be used by teachers, students, parents, and community to demonstrate character qualities that we look for in others. Teachers that demonstrated the qualities of the word were chosen to work with the AV Department and design a video to share how that particular word had impacted their life both professionally and personally. The videos were posted along with lessons for parents and community to view also. Parents were encouraged to reinforce the words at home …

Own It: Becoming A Trauma Sensitive School, Oatanisha Dawson Ed.D., Karen Thierry

Georgia Association for Positive Behavior Support Conference

The concepts of poverty, trauma and child development cannot be ignored when reviewing educational outcomes especially in schools where trauma and poverty are prevalent. Glynn County School System (GCSS) has collectively witnessed an overwhelmingly negative impact that poverty has had on early learning. Low income students are highly likely to be traumatized (e.g. witnessing violence at home, polyvictims of abuse, having separated or divorced parents) so they don’t always come to school to learn but, come to school to be loved. Many GCSS schools have students that come from low-income, high-stress home environments. One school in this district, Goodyear Elementary …

Positive Behavior Supports - A Tiered Intervention Framework For Behavior, Leigh B. Sears, Stacia Dillin, Dayna Kiley, Shea Ray

Georgia Association for Positive Behavior Support Conference

Parents, teachers, and leaders alike are always looking for methods to extinguish undesirable behaviors and replace them with more desirable behaviors at home and school. Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports are essential to establish strong foundations for tiered interventions. By building on PBIS implementation and by using consistent strategies earlier to identify a true function for behavior, potential interventions are better aligned to individual student needs. Using target behavior identification, behavior correction plan tools, routines analysis, Antecedent, Behavior, Consequence (ABC) recording, forced-choice reinforcement, and staff questionnaires, Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA) best practices are no longer reserved for Tiers 3 and/or …

A Survey On The Effectiveness Of The Flipped Classroom In The Communication Sciences, Amanda Bange

Honors Theses

This study examines how the flipped classroom model impacts student performance in the communication sciences. The flipped classroom is defined as an educational technique that utilizes technology to provide lecture materials outside of class time, while students complete projects and engage in discussion in class with the professor. Twenty-six participants responded to a survey regarding their flipped classroom experiences in four spring semester speech­ language pathology and audiology classes. Responses were mixed, indicating a dislike of the formatting of the style while appreciating the extra practice, question-and-answer time, and thorough engagement with the topic that the flipped classroom model provided.

Bioeconomic Consequences Of Fisheries Management: Florida's Commercial Reef Fisheries, Molly H. Stevens

Open Access Dissertations

The Florida reef ecosystem supports lucrative commercial and recreational industries that provide the state with billions of dollars annually. The goal of this study was to analyze the available demographic, fishery, and economic data for reef fishes, develop an age-structured bioeconomic production model, and assess the economic consequences of fisheries management. Key demographics data are required for the most basic assessment methodology, but just over half of these species had full parameter sets suitable for stock assessment, and less than a quarter had reliably estimated sets. Total mortality rates estimated from the average length of the commercial catch were combined …
