Online Collaboration Platforms: Communication Implications For Workplace Virtual Teams, Anthony J. Paz Jan 2020

Online Collaboration Platforms: Communication Implications For Workplace Virtual Teams, Anthony J. Paz

Senior Honors Theses and Projects

As more organizations face the growing need to accommodate employees who are unable to work in a traditional face-to-face office environment, many turn to new computer programs that can connect all employees. These programs, generally referred to as online collaboration platforms, help to connect members of an organization while enhancing productivity and allowing work to be completed from around the world. While there is extensive research on the structure and nature of communication within virtual teams, there has been little research on the implications of online collaboration platforms on virtual teams. This study demonstrates how employees work with one another …


Media Manipulation Of The Israeli Palestinian Conflict In The United States, Alissa Kennedy Jan 2020

Media Manipulation Of The Israeli Palestinian Conflict In The United States, Alissa Kennedy

Senior Honors Theses and Projects

This presentation looks to examine media-manipulation of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in the U.S., inlcuding implications in the form of public opinion and policy making. The focus is a history of the conflict itself by presenting it first through the lens of the U.S. using multi-mass media news sources before then presenting media based in the Middle East. By doing so an individual can note the inconsistency and categorical syllogism which occurs. It’s important to note, it is difficult to change the fundamental opinions individuals have of this conflict or others, but education on media manipulation can allow audiences the ability …


‘Not Shap’D For Sportive Tricks:’ Representations Of Disability In Film And Digital Broadcast Cinema Adaptations Of Early Modern Drama, Grace Mccarthy Jan 2020

‘Not Shap’D For Sportive Tricks:’ Representations Of Disability In Film And Digital Broadcast Cinema Adaptations Of Early Modern Drama, Grace Mccarthy

Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)

In films that feature disability, we see the recursive and discussion-limiting impulse to say “this representation is negative. Therefore, the representation should not be seen,” based on critical theories and methodologies outside the purview of film studies. Unfortunately, the overlay of an English, narratological, sociological, or medical methodology and terminology onto a film representation of disability is ultimately recursive and self-limiting; critical and advocate calls for accuracy to the lived experience of people with disabilities in on-screen representations decline to engage with the visual construction of cinematic representations of disability and the often fascinating cinematographic and thematic patterns that emerge …


A Marriage Of Intersecting Needs: The Procurement Of The Canadian Patrol Frigates By The Pierre Trudeau Government, 1977-1983, Garison Ma Jan 2020

A Marriage Of Intersecting Needs: The Procurement Of The Canadian Patrol Frigates By The Pierre Trudeau Government, 1977-1983, Garison Ma

Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)

In December 1977, the Liberal government of Pierre Elliot Trudeau authorized the Department of National Defence to begin the acquisition of new warships for the navy. The decision to acquire fully combat capable warships was a shocking decision which marked the conclusion of a remarkable turnaround in Canadian defence policy. The navy, which had grown into a substantial and capable force during the early Cold War in the 1950s, had been in a steady decline since the mid-1960s as a result of the shifts in defence policy, cuts in personnel, and still deeper cuts to the capital funding needed to …


Quantifying Effects Of Sleep Deprivation On Cognitive Performance, Quang Nghia Le Jan 2020

Quantifying Effects Of Sleep Deprivation On Cognitive Performance, Quang Nghia Le

Masters Theses

“The most commonly used metric for evaluating alertness and vigilance is the Psychomotor Vigilance Test (PVT), previous studies have indicated that alertness and vigilance can be affected by the lack of sleep as a function of sleep loss. This study explores methods to predict median psychomotor vigilance reaction times. The data used in this study comes from a series of tests and surveys conducted on volunteer students. The data set contains many potential predictors of PVT and one aspect of the study was to identify variables that are useful in prediction.

"'In A Distant Unknown Country': A New Historicist Look At James Joyce’S “Eveline,” Argentina, And The Zwi Migdal In The Early 1900s.", M Laura Barberan Reinares Jan 2020

"'In A Distant Unknown Country': A New Historicist Look At James Joyce’S “Eveline,” Argentina, And The Zwi Migdal In The Early 1900s.", M Laura Barberan Reinares

Publications and Research

This article analyzes James Joyce’s story “Eveline” (1904) looking at the moral panic about “white slavery” in Europe and the new continent, especially focusing on Argentina, the foremost recipient of trafficked women between 1880 and 1930 (and, of course, Joyce’s destination of choice for Eveline). It was precisely at the turn of the twentieth century that, along with the popularity of transatlantic migration, sex trafficking went fully global and news about international “dangers” for single white women reached the general public, provoking all kinds of repressive reactions through what became known as the “social purity” movement.


Vibrating Existence: Early Cinema And Cognitive Creativity, Guy Edmonds Jan 2020

Vibrating Existence: Early Cinema And Cognitive Creativity, Guy Edmonds

School of Art, Design and Architecture Theses

This thesis collects together technical, historical and neurological evidence to examine how our perceptual and cognitive experience of cinema has changed diachronically and especially as a result of the transition from analogue to digital cinema projection. The slow arrival but sudden dominance of digital projection technology has provided a historic opportunity of renewed interest in the means by which cinema is created. This research attends to a particular aspect of the experience of cinema which has failed to survive the industry-wide changeover: the seemingly advantageous deletion of the shutter and its attendant flicker from the cinematic dispositif – the ‘flicks’ …


Maurice E. Peloubet: A Life Of Impact On Accountancy And Society, Brandi Holley Jan 2020

Maurice E. Peloubet: A Life Of Impact On Accountancy And Society, Brandi Holley

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Maurice E. Peloubet was one of accountancy’s major players during the profession’s highly evolutionary period in the United States from before World War I to the Vietnam War. Though Peloubet spent his entire career from 1911 to 1964 in public accounting, he also promoted the profession on the academic, governmental, and international fronts. This dissertation explores his contributions to the profession of accountancy and in turn society at large. Particular focus is placed on his role in the evolution of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), his lobbying efforts before Congress concerning the Last-In, First-Out (LIFO) Inventory method …

Liturgical Drama In The Church: An Application Of Daily Scriptural Living, Alma Lee Langley-Ward

All Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The main purpose of this research was to study the validity of using liturgical drama as a vital tool of expression in helping to make Scripture come alive for the application and transformation of lives, first of those of the researcher’s local congregation and eventually of other churches. The researcher wrote and directed a play using members of the Greater Friendship Missionary Baptist Church as actors and crew. The entire church was a participant of this research as the play was done during a Sunday morning worship service as part of the liturgy. The mixed-method approach presented the most viable …


Piecing Together Coalition War: Threat, Politics, And Coalition Structure, Stephen Joiner Jan 2020

Piecing Together Coalition War: Threat, Politics, And Coalition Structure, Stephen Joiner

Theses and Dissertations--Political Science

Military coalitions are both a common feature of interstate warfare and an example of the highest level of cooperation between states. Despite their tremendous importance in international relations, military coalitions remain poorly understood. This project investigates critical questions related to coalition structures, and uses quantitative and qualitative methods to show that both the threat and political opportunity facing coalitions helps to determine the shape of their structures. This project utilizes a dataset of all coalition wars since 1816, as well as case studies of six coalitions to investigate these relationships. Key contributions include novel theoretical arguments and the findings that …

Digressions: Literary & Art Journal

“Digressions” are temporary departures or instances of divergence from a main theme, so it makes sense that this journal invites students to move away from the rigidity of academia and scholarship. As D.J. King–our first editor–said in Volume 1 in 2004, Digressions encourages students to “take a break from ‘Works Cited’ and turn inwardly to work sighted.” At the Digressions Literary & Art Journal, we strongly believe that everyone is capable of creativity, and should be presented with the opportunity to express themselves, even while pursuing the more fact-oriented fields that Nova Southeastern University has to offer; but we …

The Psychosomatic Journey Of Trauma And Its Healing: A Comparative Synthesis Between Scientific And Psycho-Spiritual Perspectives, Isabel Kelly Jan 2020

The Psychosomatic Journey Of Trauma And Its Healing: A Comparative Synthesis Between Scientific And Psycho-Spiritual Perspectives, Isabel Kelly

Pomona Senior Theses

The purpose of this paper is to create a comparative synthesis between scientific perspectives and spiritual perspectives of understanding the psychosomatic (mind-body) nature of trauma. In order to do so we will consider the works of Dr.Bessel van der Kolk, a world-leading psychiatrist in the field of trauma therapy who advocates for the use of body-oriented approaches to healing, and the works of Carl Jung and Donald Kalsched. Jung is considered one of the founding fathers of the field of Transpersonal Psychology, while Kalsched is a Jungian psychoanalyst who specializes in working with trauma patients. We will see that while …

Exploring Arts Integration In Language Arts Instruction For Elementary Education, Mary A. Dehner Jan 2020

Exploring Arts Integration In Language Arts Instruction For Elementary Education, Mary A. Dehner

Honors Undergraduate Theses

The purpose of this thesis is to provide insight on how arts integration in English language arts education increases engagement and achievement in students and teachers alike. Throughout my analysis of literature, local field research in two Central Florida public elementary schools, and my creation of a five-day arts-integrated writing unit, I found that arts integration, especially when utilizing Leonard Bernstein’s Artful Learning Method was observed to show a positive impact on students. Arts integration allowed for a child’s natural curiosity and instinct to create to take over, which created authentic learning experiences for the students. The research also demonstrated …

Not Your Father's Marketplace Of Ideas: Hate Speech And The Fraudulent Marketplace Of Ideas Created By Social Media, George Mixon Jan 2020

Not Your Father's Marketplace Of Ideas: Hate Speech And The Fraudulent Marketplace Of Ideas Created By Social Media, George Mixon

Emory International Law Review

Freedom of speech jurisprudence in the United States and Germany is strikingly similar despite resulting in opposing views on the government’s ability to regulate and curtail white supremacist, Nazi-related, and extreme right-wing hate speech on the internet and social media. Recently, however, the Supreme Court has begun to open the door to the possibility of regulation when the speech constitutes a true threat. While still a higher standard to prove than that of Germany, it is now within Congress’s purview to regulate white supremacist, Nazi-related, and extreme right-wing hate speech as these ideologies proliferate and continue to hurt both citizens …


Towards Transformative Solidarity: Reflections From Amnesty International's Global Transition Programme, Sarah Jackson Jan 2020

Towards Transformative Solidarity: Reflections From Amnesty International's Global Transition Programme, Sarah Jackson

Emory International Law Review

This Article looks at how this process metamorphosed Amnesty’s model of international solidarity. It looks at what it would take for Amnesty’s solidarity—and by extension that of other historically Northern-based international human rights groups—to become even more transformative. It is unique in two ways. First, it develops a new concept of the solidarity spectrum building on the emerging concept of transformative solidarity. This can be used to map collaborations between partners with different kinds of power—not only within the human rights movement, but also more broadly in civic, political and social organizing. Second, it is the first external study on …


Comparison Of Novice Versus Expert Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists Self-Perceived Competency Levels, Toni Brice Jan 2020

Comparison Of Novice Versus Expert Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists Self-Perceived Competency Levels, Toni Brice

Doctor of Nursing Practice Projects

The purpose of the study is to describe the correlation of self-perceived competency levels between novice and expert Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs) in the perioperative setting. Self-reflection on competence enables CRNAs to know their most reliable and weakest performance characteristics; thus, they can improve the efficiency of their work performance across surgical settings. The proficiency of the anesthetist is important in surgical settings when the anesthesia provider is often performing independently. Psychometric instruments such as surveys can aid in evaluating perioperative performance, yet psychometric tools for explicitly assessing nurse anesthesia competence are limited. The methodology for this study is …
