A Civil Society: The Public Space Of Freemason Women In France, 1744–1944, James Smith Allen

University of Nebraska Press: Sample Books and Chapters

A Civil Society explores the struggle to initiate women as full participants in the masonic brotherhood that shared in the rise of France’s civil society and its “civic morality” on behalf of women’s rights. As a vital component of the third sector during France’s modernization, freemasonry empowered women in complex social networks, contributing to a more liberal republic, a more open society, and a more engaged public culture.

James Smith Allen shows that although women initially met with stiff resistance, their induction into the brotherhood was a significant step in the development of French civil society, including the promotion of …

"Our Women Are Made Of The Right Stuff": Gender, Politics, And Conflict In Civil War West Virginia, Amanda Romain Shaver

Theses, Dissertations and Capstones

“’Our Women Are Made of the Right Stuff:’ Gender, Politics, and Conflict in Civil War West Virginia” examines the lives and contributions of white West Virginia women and argues that they were not merely victims of the war, but dynamic participants whose opinions were influential and whose actions determined the ability of both the Union and Confederate armies to wage war in Appalachia. Striking a balance between the antebellum standards of “True Womanhood” and the emerging ideals of the women’s rights movement, West Virginia women became politically engaged in both the statehood movement and the Civil War. They transformed their …

International Humanitarian Law And Civilians In Modern Day Warfare, Allyna R. Storms

Political Science Theses and Capstones

The present study aims to reflect the effect of International Humanitarian Law on non-state actors. The effect of International Humanitarian Law on non-state actor seems to be minimal, causing a rise in civilian deaths and injury. This study presents an overview of International Humanitarian Law, the purpose and effects of such on state actors, and recent research on International Humanitarian Law and non-state actors. Following will be an analysis of civilian deaths (dependent variable) and various independent variables as they relate to region, type of conflict, and incompatibility.

An Emergent Legionnaires' Disease Syndemic: Water Supply Systems, Infrastructural Violence, And Afflicted Lives In The South Bronx, Ny, Eduardo Piqueiras

Wayne State University Dissertations

This dissertation examines how contemporary approaches to Legionnaires’ disease (LD) narrowly view it as a biomedical entity that obscures critical moral, temporal, and contextual dimensions creating gaps in how LD “cases” are defined and mitigated. Those who receive an LD diagnosis experience many unique challenges (e.g., personal, existential, community-based, and environmental) yet little is known about how this group of individuals experience recovery and attach meaning to their individual experiences. Using an anthropological lens of illness and recovery and a syndemics view of infrastructural violence this study examines those inadequately addressed multiple dimensions which limit our ability to confront the …

Recommending Collaborations Using Link Prediction, Nikhil Chennupati

Browse all Theses and Dissertations

Link prediction in the domain of scientific collaborative networks refers to exploring and determining whether a connection between two entities in an academic network may emerge in the future. This study aims to analyze the relevance of academic collaborations and identify the factors that drive co-author relationships in a heterogeneous bibliographic network. Using topological, semantic, and graph representation learning techniques, we measure the authors' similarities w.r.t their structural and publication data to identify the reasons that promote co-authorships. Experimental results show that the proposed approach successfully infer the co-author links by identifying authors with similar research interests. Such a system …

“Put Off Thy Shoes From Off Thy Feet”: Sandals And Sacred Space, John Gee

Interpreter: A Journal of Latter-day Saint Faith and Scholarship

While many have written on ancient temples looking at the big picture, John Gee discusses one small detail on a single Egyptian temple from the New Kingdom. He focuses on depictions of Ramses III in and out of the temple of Medinet Habu. Outside the temple and when entering and leaving there are depictions of him wearing sandals. Inside the temple proper the king is always shown barefoot. Ramses III built Medinet Habu only slightly after the time of Moses and as Gee further notes, while not wearing footwear was a clear practice among the Egyptians it is far more …

Did Captain Moroni Lack The Typical Religious Virtues?, Duane Boyce

Interpreter: A Journal of Latter-day Saint Faith and Scholarship

In his well-known volume about the Book of Mormon, Grant Hardy focuses primarily on the book’s main narrators. However, he also makes a number of observations about other figures in the book that are of particular interest, including some about Captain Moroni. In addition to those I address elsewhere, these observations include the claim that Moroni lacked the typical religious virtues — which Hardy identifies as “humility, self-sacrifice, kindness, and relying upon the Lord.” They also include the assertion that Helaman, in his manifest reliance upon God, serves as a counterexample to Moroni’s military leadership. A close look at the …

Joseph Smith As A Book Of Mormon Storyteller, Brian C. Hales

Interpreter: A Journal of Latter-day Saint Faith and Scholarship

For nearly 200 years, skeptics have promoted different naturalistic explanations to describe how Joseph Smith generated all the words of the Book of Mormon. The more popular theories include plagiarism (e.g. of the Solomon Spaulding manuscript), collaboration (with Oliver Cowdery, Sidney Rigdon, etc.), mental illness (bipolar, dissociative, or narcissistic personality disorders) and automatic writing, also called “spirit writing, “trance writing,” or “channeling.” A fifth and currently the most popular theory posits that Joseph Smith possessed all the intellectual abilities needed to complete the task. A variation on this last explanation proposes that he used the methods of professional storytellers. For …

Examining The Connection Between The Mechanism Of Commitment To Peace And The Number Of Casualties Arising In Peripheral Insurgencies, Caleb Dick

Theses & ETDs

Conflict is a common part of social life and is present whenever individuals or groups are learning to co-exist. Civil war is a complicated form of conflict that disrupts the world. In this work I examined the commitment problems that help explain why peripheral insurgency civil wars are difficult to end. This study builds upon Fearon’s work on civil war duration in Why Do Some Civil Wars Last so Much Longer than Others? I described the nature of commitment problems and how they are manifested in three civil war cases (Nigeria, Sudan, and Afghanistan) and then conducted a cross-case analysis …

Abstract Synecdoche In Finite Semigroups A General Theory Of Pointlike Sets And Related Phenomena, Samuel Herman

Theses & ETDs

We develop a general framework for functorial detection of pseudovariety membership by way of dualities between lattices of endofunctors on the category of finite semigroups and the lattice of pseudovarieties. These dualities arise when the action of these endofunctors may be described as pointwise selections of elements from functorially assigned finite lattices. To illustrate this phenomenon, we consider two examples. The first example involves the family of universal image functors, which send a finite semigroup to its maximal homomorphic image belonging to a given pseudovariety. The second example—which is the focus of much of the paper—involves the family of pointlike …

Sea Shepherd: The Evolution Of An Eco-Vigilante To Legitimized Maritime Capacity Builder, Claude Berube

CIWAG Case Studies

(MIWS/03 - Maritime Irregular Warfare Studies, Book 3)

This case study focuses on the evolution and development of a non-state group, Sea Shepherd, in the maritime domain. While some might argue that this organization is too small to warrant the attention of the U.S. Navy, others, including the author, argue that its cross-jurisdictional activities and international reach provide important insight into how other groups, or even states, with small maritime capabilities, might challenge international maritime norms.

The Emergence And Recognition Of Symptoms Of “Shell Shock” Or Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Julia Swirbalus

Undergraduate Review

This article explores the origins of the understanding of trauma and post- traumatic stress disorder through analyzing the written work of Charles S. Myers who studied and treated soldiers suffering from “shell shock” in World War I. As a result of Charles S. Myers’s research, recognition of causations and symptoms, and treatment of soldiers with “shell shock” during the Great War he unknowingly provided the world with a basic understanding of post-traumatic stress disorder and how stress effects humans. I argue without Charles S. Myers’s research and various publications regarding “shell shock” it is hard to say if the modern …

Clashing Canons And The Contract Clause, T. Leigh Anenson, Jennifer K. Gershberg

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

This Article is the first in-depth examination of substantive canons that judges use to interpret public pension legislation under the Contract Clause of the U.S. Constitution and state constitutions. The resolution of constitutional controversies concerning pension reform will have a profound influence on government employment. The assessment begins with a general discussion of these interpretive techniques before turning to their operation in public pension litigation. It concentrates on three clashing canons: the remedial (purpose) canon, the “no contract” canon (otherwise known as the unmistakability doctrine), and the constitutional avoidance canon. For these three canons routinely employed in pension law, there …
