U5a1 Mitochondrial Dna Haplotype Identified In Eneolithic Skeleton From Shatar Chuluu, Mongolia, Leland L. Rogers, William Honeychurch, Chunag Amartuvshin, Frederika A. Kaestle
U5a1 Mitochondrial Dna Haplotype Identified In Eneolithic Skeleton From Shatar Chuluu, Mongolia, Leland L. Rogers, William Honeychurch, Chunag Amartuvshin, Frederika A. Kaestle
Human Biology Open Access Pre-Prints
The mitochondrial haplotype U5a1 was identified from an Eneolithic grave associated with the Afanasievo archaeological culture in Bayankhongor Province, Erdenetsogt Township, at the site of Shatar Chuluu. This is the earliest appearance of a mtDNA haplotype associated with modern European populations on the Mongol Steppe. This evidence demonstrations that people with “western” mtDNA lived on the Mongol Steppe east of the Altai Mountains before the Bronze Age and refutes the notion that the Altai Mountains were a substantial barrier to gene flow and definitively expands the acknowledged range of the Afanasievo archaeological culture.
Asceticism In World Religious Traditions, Gulnora Khudayberganova
Asceticism In World Religious Traditions, Gulnora Khudayberganova
The Light of Islam
A comparative approach to the study of the phenomenon of asceticism within the framework of the teachings of world religions allows individuals to view the internal features and hidden sections of the ascetic experience (as is) and the mood in them as a state of society. The ascetic phenomenon, which has existed in the life of society since ancient times, has become an important and sometimes dominant factor in social development. In the twenty-fist century it is impossible not to notice the rapid growth of countless associations, organizations, groups and individuals, which directly or indirectly reflct the attachment to the …
The Evolution Of Mcdonald’S: As Seen On Tv., Jay Gibson
The Evolution Of Mcdonald’S: As Seen On Tv., Jay Gibson
Scholars Week
When thinking of fast food, McDonald’s is often one of the first that comes to mind. However, we rarely think about how this industry giant has changed over the years. From this point the question is asked, how has McDonald’s advertisements changed to suit their ever-growing audience? What, if anything, has caused these changes? Many might simply say the changes come with the times, but research reveals that there could potentially be much more serious reasons, such as the anti-obesity movement and battles in the legal field. By analyzing numerous television advertisements from the 90s and recent years, I find …
Social Scientists’ Testimony Before Congress In The United States Between 1946-2016, Trends From A New Dataset, Thomas V. Maher, Charles Seguin, Yongjun Zhang, Andrew P. Davis
Social Scientists’ Testimony Before Congress In The United States Between 1946-2016, Trends From A New Dataset, Thomas V. Maher, Charles Seguin, Yongjun Zhang, Andrew P. Davis
Purdue University Libraries Open Access Publishing Fund
Congressional hearings are a venue in which social scientists present their views and analyses before lawmakers in the United States, however quantitative data on their representation has been lacking. We present new, publicly available, data on the rates at which anthropologists, economists, political scientists, psychologists, and sociologists appeared before United States congressional hearings from 1946 through 2016. We show that social scientists were present at some 10,347 hearings and testified 15,506 times. Economists testify before the US Congress far more often than other social scientists, and constitute a larger proportion of the social scientists testifying in industry and government positions. …
"There Is Enough Food On The Table": Religious Minority Students' Experiences With The Campus Spiritual Climate, Regina C. Schneider
"There Is Enough Food On The Table": Religious Minority Students' Experiences With The Campus Spiritual Climate, Regina C. Schneider
LSU Master's Theses
Within the last 30 years, diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives have been at much of the forefront of student affairs and higher education policy and practices. Issues regarding gender, race, and socioeconomic status have received much attention not only in education, but also in the greater landscape of the nation. Religious and spiritual minority students are a population that has only recently been considered in fostering a more inclusive and pluralistic college environment. Thus, there is a research gap involving religious/spiritual minority college students and their perceptions of the campus climate. Additionally, only a small pool of research addresses the …
Let’S Talk About Death: Conversation And Bereavement In Late-Life Widows And Widowers [Poster], Bekah Bass
Let’S Talk About Death: Conversation And Bereavement In Late-Life Widows And Widowers [Poster], Bekah Bass
Research in the Capitol
Death is a taboo subject in American society, yet it affects everyone at some point in life. By looking at conversations surrounding death from a sociological perspective, I study the association between conversations about death and the grief of those left behind. Using the Changing Lives of Older Couples dataset, I am conducting a secondary data analysis to study the relationship between talking about death with a spouse before death, and the denial and mental health impacts on the widow after death. By understanding how conversations about death may be related to positive or negative outcomes, we can better support …

A Scoping Review Protocol To Map Empirical Evidence That Illuminates The Dark Side Of Occupations Among Adults, R Twinley, L Boland, L Bunn, G Letherby
A Scoping Review Protocol To Map Empirical Evidence That Illuminates The Dark Side Of Occupations Among Adults, R Twinley, L Boland, L Bunn, G Letherby
School of Health Professions
The objective of this review is to explore existing literature to identify, map, and synthesise past accounts of occupations that could be considered as constituting the dark side of occupation and which could, consequently, be identified and discussed as such. Presenting findings through use of a synthesis matrix, and formulating a descriptive account of the types of occupations (including their form, function, meaning, and contribution to identity and becoming) that constitute the dark side of occupation, is anticipated to assist with prioritising future collaborative research endeavours, as part of an intended programme of research. Specifically, the review questions are: What …
The Investigation Of Functionalized Carbon Nanotubes For The Carbon Dioxide Capture And Ethane Oxidative Dehyrogenation Catalysts, Zheng Zhou
Theses and Dissertations
Carbon nanotubes (CNT) have gained interest for wide use as both support and catalyst due to the ease of uniquely tunable surface chemistry. Increasingly severe greenhouse effects have attracted attention to novel materials and technologies capable of capturing carbon dioxide (CO2). In this context, we develop a CNT based solid state amine for the CO2 capture. CNT are functionalized under various methods as a support for polymeric amines. Polyethyleneimine are physically adsorbed on CNT and are further characterized and studied for reversible CO2 capture. We obtain a high CO2 capture capacity (6.78 mmol∙g-1) for linear polyethyleneimine (LPEI) and 6.18 mmol∙g-1 …
Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy For Elemental Analysis In Bioarchaeology And Forensic Anthropology, Kelsi N. Kuehn
Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy For Elemental Analysis In Bioarchaeology And Forensic Anthropology, Kelsi N. Kuehn
USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Within bioarchaeology and forensic anthropology, the current processes of differentiating between individual human skeletal remains are imprecise, costly, and inefficient. A novel analytical technique within anthropology, laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) can aid in the identification of human remains using rapid laser ablation occurring at the micro-scale, making the technique virtually non-destructive to the sample. Considering this, LIBS could offer a superior method for materials discrimination and human identification. This research sought to examine whether LIBS can be used to obtain elemental signatures within bones to distinguish individuals from one another in a rapid, non-destructive manner. Seven human skeletal donors and …
Changing Geographies Of Flood Mitigation Policies: A Case Study Of Central, Louisiana, Ria Mukerji
Changing Geographies Of Flood Mitigation Policies: A Case Study Of Central, Louisiana, Ria Mukerji
LSU Master's Theses
In 2016, the Baton Rouge region experienced what would come to be record-setting precipitation levels. The 1,000 year rainfall event dumped almost triple the amount of water on Louisiana than was seen during Hurricane Katrina (some areas received over 10 inches of rain in a matter of hours), with rain persisting from August 12th until the 17th. Previously a part of Baton Rouge, Central is a relatively new development that expanded into the 100 year floodplain in 2005. This thesis will present the changing geographies of flood mitigation policies since a major flood in 1983 to the …

The Extent And Limits Of The Right To Arbitrate Among Religious And Cultural Communities, Rami Alhellu
The Extent And Limits Of The Right To Arbitrate Among Religious And Cultural Communities, Rami Alhellu
SJD Dissertations
Arbitration is a private mechanism that offers people an alternative means of resolving disputes outside of the state courts; thus, it allows for some measure of self-government. This dissertation focuses on "community arbitration" and investigates the background of the "community" concept and why certain communities rely on arbitration. It also examines the legal concepts that affect the extent to which community groups have the right to arbitrate disputes in their own courts. This dissertation discusses when and how the right to arbitrate should be respected, and when that right may legitimately be limited on two community types: religions or cultural …

Factors Influencing Latino/Hispanic Caregivers' Perception Of The Experience Of Caring For A Relative With Alzheimer's Disease, Lyda Consuelo Arevalo-Flechas
Factors Influencing Latino/Hispanic Caregivers' Perception Of The Experience Of Caring For A Relative With Alzheimer's Disease, Lyda Consuelo Arevalo-Flechas
Dissertations
CONTEXT: The role that culture and language has on a person's perception of the caregiving experience has not been explored. Neither have appropriate instruments been developed to explore the concept of burden that are culturally sensitive and linguistically congruent. Furthermore, there is not a Spanish word that is equivalent to the English word burden. AIMS: 1. To describe the perceptions of the caregiving experience of bilingual (Spanish-English) and monolingual (Spanish) Latino/Hispanic family caregivers of patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD). 2. To describe the culturally and linguistically relevant expressions and terminology used by bilingual and monolingual Latino/Hispanic AD family caregivers to …

Temporal Trend Of Research Related To Gun Violence From 1981 To 2018 In The United States: A Bibliometric Analysis, Lung-Chang Chien, Maxim Gakh, Courtney Coughenour, Ro-Ting Lin
School of Public Health Faculty Research
Background: We aimed to evaluate the variation in gun violence-related research in the US over time to determine if there are meaningful changes in frequency of research at certain time points. Related publications were searched from the Web of Science. Methods: We searched articles from Web of Science to collect publication data of gun violence research in three disciplines (clinical sciences, life sciences, and social behavior sciences) from 1981 to 2018. The joinpoint regression approach was applied to evaluate the trend of publication ratio. We also adopted the generalized additive mixed model to compare the publication ratio among the three …
Isolation By Distance And The Problem Of The 21st Century, Shay-Akil Mclean
Isolation By Distance And The Problem Of The 21st Century, Shay-Akil Mclean
Human Biology Open Access Pre-Prints
Isolation by distance models are part of the institutional creed of anti-racialism used to critique claims of biological race concepts. Proponents of anti-racialism appeal to isolation by distance models to describe patterns of human genetic differences among and between groups as a function of distance. Isolation by distance has been referred to as the pattern that human genetic variation fits, distributing the differences we see as race throughout geographic space as a series of Gaussian gradients. Contemporary scientific critiques of biological race concepts fuse social constructionist race concepts with a description of the distribution of proportions of human genetic variation …

Supreme Court Journalism: From Law To Spectacle?, Barry Sullivan, Cristina Carmody Tilley
Washington and Lee Law Review
Few people outside certain specialized sectors of the press and the legal profession have any particular reason to read the increasingly voluminous opinions through which the Justices of the Supreme Court explain their interpretations of the Constitution and laws. Most of what the public knows about the Supreme Court necessarily comes from the press. That fact raises questions of considerable importance to the functioning of our constitutional democracy: How, for example, does the press describe the work of the Supreme Court? And has the way in which the press describes the work of the Court changed over the past several …

Genetic Diversity And Relationships Of Tlingit Moieties, Rodrigo De Los Santos, Cara Monroe, Rico Worl, Rosita Worl, Kari B. Schroeder, Brian M. Kemp
Human Biology Open Access Pre-Prints
The Tlingit from Southeast Alaska belong to the Northwest Coast cultural tradition, which is defined by regionally shared sociocultural practices. A distinctive feature of Tlingit social organization is the matrilineal exogamous marriage system among clans from two opposite moieties: the Raven/Crow and Eagle/Wolf. Clan and moiety membership are determined by matrilineal descent, and previous genetic studies of Northwest Coast populations have shown that there is a relationship between clan membership and genetic variation of matrilines and patrilines. To further understand this association, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequences from the Tlingit (n=154) are examined. By comparing mtDNA with moiety membership information, we …

The Struggle For Indigenous Representation In Canadian National Parks: The Case Of The Haida Totem Poles In Jasper, Jason W. Johnston, Courtney Mason
The Struggle For Indigenous Representation In Canadian National Parks: The Case Of The Haida Totem Poles In Jasper, Jason W. Johnston, Courtney Mason
Journal of Indigenous Research
This research focused on the lack of Indigenous representation in Jasper National Park (JNP) and the negative impacts it has on Indigenous communities and their relationship with JNP management. These representational issues foster the formation and dissemination of problematic Indigenous stereotypes and reinforce pan-Indigenous notions in Jasper and Canada. Relying on Indigenous Methodologies, we conducted semi-structured interviews with members of the Jasper Indigenous Forum and JNP management. The research participants identified several areas of concern: Indigenous histories and cultures presented from non-Indigenous perspectives; a lack of consultation and cultural awareness; and the presence of culturally insensitive structures in the park, …

Intangible Cultural Heritage is at a continuous risk of extinction. Where historical artefacts engine the machinery of intercontinental mass-tourism, socio-technical changes are reshaping the anthropomorphic landscapes everywhere on the globe, at an unprecedented rate. There is an increasing urge to tap into the hidden semantics and the anecdotes surrounding people, memories and places. The vast cultural knowledge made of testimony, oral history and traditions constitutes a rich cultural ontology tying together human beings, times, and situations. Altogether, these complex, multidimensional features make the task of data-mapping of intangible cultural heritage a problem of sustainability and preservation. This paper addresses a …
An Examination Of Changes In Muscle Thickness, Isometric Strength, And Body Water Throughout The Menstrual Cycle, Tayla E. Kuehne
An Examination Of Changes In Muscle Thickness, Isometric Strength, And Body Water Throughout The Menstrual Cycle, Tayla E. Kuehne
USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Women are often excluded from research studies interested in changes in muscle size and strength due to confounding influence that the menstrual cycle may have on these variables. Although there is considerable data showing that strength may fluctuate throughout the menstrual cycle, the thesis that muscle size changes throughout the cycle is based on the premise that changes in body water throughout the menstrual cycle may influence the size of the muscle. Despite this suggestion there is no experimental data demonstrating that the menstrual cycle has any influence on muscle size. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine …
Media Fandom: Social Media Use And Collective Identity In China: A Case Study Of Z.Tao’S Weibo Fandom, Mier Sha
USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations
With the advancement of information and communication technologies (ICTs), social media platforms have been widely applied in the practices of media fandom. To determine the correlation between social media use and collective identity of celebrity fandom, the current study investigated Z.Tao’s Weibo fandom as a case conducting an online quantitative survey with 100 samples and 12 in-depth semi-structured interviews. The results show that social media use significantly facilitates the construction of collective identity of celebrity fandom on Weibo through fans’ experiences of ingroup interaction and outgroup interaction.

Citation Databases For Legal Scholarship, John R. Beatty
Citation Databases For Legal Scholarship, John R. Beatty
Law Librarian Journal Articles
Traditional citation sources, such as Web of Science, index limited numbers of law journals. Consequently, although not designed for generating scholarship citation metrics, many law scholarship citation studies use law-specific databases like Westlaw or LexisNexis to gather citations. This article compares citation metrics derived from Web of Science and Westlaw to metrics derived from Google Scholar and HeinOnline’s citation tools. The study finds that HeinOnline and Westlaw generate higher metrics than Web of Science, and Google Scholar generates higher metrics than both. However, metrics from all four sources are highly correlated, so rankings generated from any may be very similar.
