Academic Labor: Research and Artistry (2017-2022 archives)

Overviewing rhetoric and composition's evolution from “English” to “Englishes,” this article shows how the denigration of non-native English-Speaking Teachers (NNEST) of writing on the basis of English difference disregards linguistics’ understandings of the evolutions of language. Additionally, this essay demonstrates that when we consider writing via the lens of the threshold concepts and see writing as an exercise of mind, ideas and thinking, NNEST of writing can be a strength in twenty-first century First Year Composition (FYC) course.

The Effects Of Dynamic Written Corrective Feedback Frequency On Esl Writing Accuracy, Fluency, And Complexity, Suzanne H. Rice

Theses and Dissertations

The Pedagogy Of Terror: Women's Education In The Gothic Novel, Faith Borland

Theses and Dissertations

This thesis investigates the distinction between terror and horror that Robert Hume first established in his 1969 article on categories of the gothic novel, a distinction that I redefine as a scholar working after the #Metoo movement and broader cultural recognition of the terror that women face in their everyday lives. “Terror” illustrates the sustained sensations produced in women’s lives as powerless and marginalized. Eighteenth-, nineteenth- and twenty-first-century women writers of the gothic, including Ann Radcliffe, Mary Shelley, and Silvia Moreno-Garcia, depict female characters who overcome terror through domestic, scientific and medical, familial, experiential, cultural, and academic education. Linking recent …

Nuwu (Southern Paiute), Newe (Western Shoshone), and Nuumu (Owens Valley Paiute) are linguistically related, Numic-speaking peoples who are part of the broader Uto-Aztecan language group. Numic peoples view the land as a holistic, living, sentient being with feelings and purpose. The land is personified with human characteristics and it needs to be experienced to be understood through “learning by doing.” Numic peoples do not support ground disturbing activities within their ancestral lands, including activities tied to the storage of low-level radioactive waste or classified materials on the NNSS, which they view as culturally inappropriate.

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

This study explored teachers’ perceptions of rough-and- tumble (R&T) play in early childhood education in Saudi Arabia.

The pertinent literature reveals that R&T play, which includes running, jumping, fighting, wrestling, chasing, pulling, pushing, and climbing, among other rough playful activities, can positively impact learning and development across psychosocial, emotional, and cognitive domains. Teachers’ understanding of R & T play is key, and the attitudes of Saudi early childhood teachers who are …

Flocc: From Agent-Based Models To Interactive Simulations On The Web, Scott Donaldson

Northeast Journal of Complex Systems (NEJCS)

Agent-based modeling (ABM) is a computational technique wherein systems are represented through the actions and interactions of many individual entities (‘agents’) over time. ABM often attempts to elucidate the unpredictable, high-level behavior of systems through the predictable, low-level behavior of actors within the system. There are currently few software or frameworks for ABM that allow modelers to design and build interactive models on the web, for a wide audience as well as a scientifically literate audience well-versed in complexity, models, and simulations. Flocc is a novel framework for agent-based modeling written in JavaScript, the lingua franca programming language of the …

The Schro ̈Dinger’S Cat Paradox In The Mind Creative Process, Dione ́Ia Motta Monte-Serrat, Brenno Caetano Troca Cabella, Carlo Cattani

Information Sciences Letters

This article, through Schro ̈dinger’s cat theory, points to a conflict between individuality and universality in the creative process that would appear to be an inconsistency of cognition. We chose the axiomatic-logical concept of language as a system of oppositions of places and values for this discussion, understood as a complex phenomenon mediating between the human mind and the environment. Creativity involves language and cognition and is of interest to artificial intelligence, AI, thus, an in-depth look at creative aspects of the human mind helps to better understand the structure of natural language and gives wagers for new AI challenges. …

A Novel Conceptual Weighting Model For Semantic Information Retrieval, Sameh Neji, Leila Jemni Ben Ayed, Tarek Chenaina, Abdullah M. Shoeb

Information Sciences Letters

Nowadays, the traditional information retrieval (IR) is inadequate for the user who requires precise results. Hence, the importance of the semantic IR arises. It is very important to move from the level of ambiguous terms to that of well-specified concepts in the indexing phase to enrich the search process. To handle the problems of semantic ambiguity of indexed terms as well as the uncertainty and imprecision inherent in the information retrieval process, a semantic indexing approach was proposed for a better document representation. It is based on indexing the associated synsets with document terms that are identified by mapping on …
