Mesoamerican “Cimeters” In Book Of Mormon Times, Matthew Roper
Mesoamerican “Cimeters” In Book Of Mormon Times, Matthew Roper
Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship
The Book of Mormon first mentions a weapon called a cimeter during the time of Enos (some time between about 544 and 421 bc). Speaking of his people’s Lamanite enemies, Enos says, “their skill was in the bow, and in the cimeter, and the ax” (Enos 1:20). Later, in the first and second centuries bc, the weapon was part of the armory of both Nephites and Lamanites in addition to swords and other weapons (Mosiah 9:16; 10:8; Alma 2:12; 43:18, 20, 37; 60:2; Helaman 1:14).

Science And Food Fictions: Agricultural Technologies, The Evolution Of The Modern Industrial Diet, And Calls For A Food Revolution, Tracey Daniels-Lerberg
Science And Food Fictions: Agricultural Technologies, The Evolution Of The Modern Industrial Diet, And Calls For A Food Revolution, Tracey Daniels-Lerberg
Green Humanities: A Journal of Ecological Thought in Literature, Philosophy & the Arts
[First paragraph] Individual food choices are culturally and historically contingent practices that arise through an amalgamation of often hidden political, scientific, and economic policies that shape desire and influence access. Food, like all other man-made mechanisms of control and authority, has been used “as a political tool for […] subjugating (either economically or politically) other nations” according to William A. Dando, a professor at the University of North Dakota, who in 1975 urged American agricultural officials not to use food as “a weapon” against starving nations, something he feared was eminently possible given the economic and political climate of agricultural …
Building Digital Walls And Making Speech And Internet Freedom (Or Chinese Technology) Pay For It, Apratim Vidyarthi, Rachel Hulvey
Building Digital Walls And Making Speech And Internet Freedom (Or Chinese Technology) Pay For It, Apratim Vidyarthi, Rachel Hulvey
Indian Journal of Law and Technology
More broadly, the tools at the US government’s disposal— IEEPA, Congressional lawmaking authority, and CFIUS review—encourage the use of such flimsy rationale and a lack of transparency, which ultimately promotes such broad bans; and the costs of these bans are dear. There may be First Amendment implications, and at the very least, a chilling of speech. There are also significant impacts on American foreign policy, from legitimizing the Chinese strategy of cybersovereignty and government regulation, to the creation of incentives to localize data in a manner that might undermine American law enforcement efforts.
Killer Robots Or Soldiers Of The Future: Legal Issues And India's Role In The Lethal Autonomous Weapons Debate, Sarvjeet Singh, Sharngan Aravindakshan
Killer Robots Or Soldiers Of The Future: Legal Issues And India's Role In The Lethal Autonomous Weapons Debate, Sarvjeet Singh, Sharngan Aravindakshan
Indian Journal of Law and Technology
This paper traces the politico-legal discussions surrounding autonomous weapons and unpacks the major legal issues plaguing scholarly and governmental debates around Lethal Autonomous Weapons Systems (LAWS). The authors first lay out a typology of autonomy to better understand issues and concerns with such weapons systems. The article then examines the broad legal framework with which these weapons will be required to comply and within whose boundaries these weapons will be required to be operated. The authors proceed to trace major States’ views on LAWS under the auspices of the United Nations Convention on Conventional Weapons. Finally, the authors examine Indian …

Proxy Wars & Sovereignty: The Ethics And Impacts Of Proxy War On State Sovereignty, Catherine Latchford
Proxy Wars & Sovereignty: The Ethics And Impacts Of Proxy War On State Sovereignty, Catherine Latchford
Liberty University Journal of Statesmanship & Public Policy
Proxy war has been utilized by states since the age of the Romans. From the Byzantine-Sassanian wars to the Vietnam War, countries have involved themselves in other countries’ conflicts for centuries in the name of national interest. However, the involvement in proxy war opens a door to vast considerations of ethics and implications to the internal resources and national security interests of a state. Furthermore, proxy warfare can impact the sovereignty of both the warring states and the countries pulling the strings; thus, it is necessary to evaluate and understand the impact proxy war has on state sovereignty. This paper …
Anti-Satellite Tests: A Risk To The Security And Sustainability Of Outer Space, Mckayla Swan
Anti-Satellite Tests: A Risk To The Security And Sustainability Of Outer Space, Mckayla Swan
Liberty University Journal of Statesmanship & Public Policy
In November of 2021, The Russian Federation conducted an anti-satellite test (ASAT), destroying one of their defunct satellites in low earth orbit (LEO). This test, although not the first of its kind, created thousands of pieces of new space debris, threatening LEO satellites and the International Space Station (ISS). Russia’s test has resurfaced discussions on the militarization of space and its long-term sustainability. Absent legally binding multilateral agreements aimed at long-term peace and sustainability in space, the area will continue to develop in a hazardous direction. Therefore, The United States should initiate a multilateral treaty to develop a partial ban …
Twenty-One Years Later: Reflections On 9/11, Bessie Blackburn, Shaddi Spencer, Hayden O'Connor
Twenty-One Years Later: Reflections On 9/11, Bessie Blackburn, Shaddi Spencer, Hayden O'Connor
Liberty University Journal of Statesmanship & Public Policy
Twenty-one years ago, one of the greatest attacks on the American republic occurred. On September 11, 2001, American Airlines Flights 11, 77, 93, and 177 were hijacked by Islamic extremists and crashed in New York City, Washington D.C., and Pennsylvania. The atrocity of these incidents and the extensive loss of life impacted not only the United States but the entire world. Nevertheless, in light of this tragedy the American people found unity in patriotism, rekindling a sense of national purpose in the form of the “Global War on Terrorism.” This document is a compilation of reflection articles written by individuals …
Understanding The Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear And Explosive (Cbrne) Defense Policy Making Process Through Historical And Current Event Analysis, Michaela Christine Mesiti
Understanding The Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear And Explosive (Cbrne) Defense Policy Making Process Through Historical And Current Event Analysis, Michaela Christine Mesiti
Theses
Understanding Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and Explosives (CBRNE) defense policies is critical in promoting safety to civilian and military personnel in the United States and globally. This thesis first examines a few of the most significant CBRNE policies in history, their place in the world today, and how their creation has impacted society. Utilizing two canonical policy making models– the “linear model” and the “policy stream model”– a range of case studies are analyzed to examine how decision-making behind CBRNE policy compares with other comparable policy domains, particularly non-CBRNE biotechnology innovation. The likelihood of proactivity and the potential influence of …
Chemical Investigation And Drug Discovery Potential Of Terpenoid Secondary Metabolites From Three Deep-Sea Irish Soft Corals, Joshua Thomas Welsch
Chemical Investigation And Drug Discovery Potential Of Terpenoid Secondary Metabolites From Three Deep-Sea Irish Soft Corals, Joshua Thomas Welsch
USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Secondary metabolites produced primarily by terrestrial plants and animals have provided the basis for treatments and cures of human diseases as far back as historians have been able to probe. However, recent technological advances including the self-contained underwater breathing apparatus, and even further remotely operated vehicles, have allowed researchers a unique opportunity for targeted collection of marine organisms at depths previously thought to possess conditions unsustainable for life as was understood. This has afforded a glimpse into the potential for not only life, but the potential for new biochemical adaptations developed over billions of years that have been evolutionarily developed …

Wrongfully Accused: Germany And The Origins Of World War I, Jauschua Curtis Stout
Wrongfully Accused: Germany And The Origins Of World War I, Jauschua Curtis Stout
Masters Theses
By examining the events that led to the outbreak of the First World War, one can determine whether any one nation was responsible for starting the war or failed to exercise its ability to prevent it. The origins of The First World War have seen no shortage of attention from historians in the hundred-plus years since its conclusion. Nevertheless, none have successfully presented a case that explains how what should have been a relatively minor diplomatic crisis transformed into the First World War. Instead, the traditional stance of blaming Germany for the war has been the de facto argument since …
Supernatural Evil As Evidence For The Existence Of God, Shane Stone Geisler
Supernatural Evil As Evidence For The Existence Of God, Shane Stone Geisler
Masters Theses
This study challenges widely held beliefs about the supernatural realm. Those who believe the supernatural realm exists tend to accept there is a personable higher power at work in our world. The naturalistic worldview denies the existence of anything or anyone beyond our physical universe. This paper will first inform the reader of a history of beliefs in the supernatural. Next, an innovative approach will be taken to provide evidence for the supernatural world. Finally, the evidence will be examined to determine its reliability and identify common themes found throughout the research. The information provided is not intended to be …
A Quantitative Research Study On Probability Risk Assessments In Critical Infrastructure And Homeland Security, Alfred B. Lee
A Quantitative Research Study On Probability Risk Assessments In Critical Infrastructure And Homeland Security, Alfred B. Lee
Doctoral Dissertations and Projects
This dissertation encompassed quantitative research on probabilistic risk assessment (PRA) elements in homeland security and the impact on critical infrastructure and key resources. There are 16 crucial infrastructure sectors in homeland security that represent assets, system networks, virtual and physical environments, roads and bridges, transportation, and air travel. The design included the Bayes theorem, a process used in PRAs when determining potential or probable events, causes, outcomes, and risks. The goal is to mitigate the effects of domestic terrorism and natural and man-made disasters, respond to events related to critical infrastructure that can impact the United States, and help protect …

Is This Your Boy? The Spirit Of The American Doughboy In World War I Memorialization, Michael Leonard Nelson
Is This Your Boy? The Spirit Of The American Doughboy In World War I Memorialization, Michael Leonard Nelson
History Theses, Dissertations, and Student Creative Activity
Well before the conclusion of World War I, Americans were engaged in finding ways to honor and remember those who served in the conflict. Taking advantage of this heightened interest in memorialization, in 1920 Ernest Moore Viquesney produced a life-sized statue marketed as The Spirit of the American Doughboy. Due to its low cost and savvy marketing, The Spirit of the American Doughboy became one of the most dominant forms of World War I memorialization. However, today many replicas of The Spirit of the American Doughboy have been relegated to obscure locations or subsumed into larger veteran memorials. This thesis …
Modeling The Effect Of Random Roughness On Synthetic Aperture Sonar Image Statistics, Anthony P. Lyons, Derek R. Olson, Roy E. Hansen
Modeling The Effect Of Random Roughness On Synthetic Aperture Sonar Image Statistics, Anthony P. Lyons, Derek R. Olson, Roy E. Hansen
Center for Coastal and Ocean Mapping
A model has been developed to predict the effect of random seafloor roughness on synthetic aperture sonar (SAS) image statistics, based on the composite roughness approximation–a physical scattering model. The continuous variation in scattering strength produced by a random slope field is treated as an intensity scaling on the image speckle produced by the coherent SAS imaging process. Changes in image statistics caused by roughness are quantified in terms of the scintillation index (SI). Factors influencing the SI include the seafloor slope variance, geo-acoustic properties of the seafloor, the probability density function describing the speckle, and the signal-to-noise ratio. Example …
