Exploring Security Strategies To Enable The Adoption Of Internet Of Things Devices In The Manufacturing Sector, Joy Chamoun
Exploring Security Strategies To Enable The Adoption Of Internet Of Things Devices In The Manufacturing Sector, Joy Chamoun
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Many information technology (IT) leaders lack the strategies to protect IoT devices from information security threats in the manufacturing sector, which puts IoT devices and modern manufacturing systems at risk of external threats and introduces security risks to organizations and workers. Grounded in the diffusion of innovation (DOI) theory, the purpose of this qualitative multiple-case study was to determine strategies that IT leaders use to implement security for IoT devices in the manufacturing sector. The participants were three IT leaders from three separate manufacturing facilities in the Los Angeles area of the United States. The data were collected from semistructured …
From Repatriation To Cooperation: Gustaf Nordenskiold's Mesa Verde Collection, David M. Barnes
From Repatriation To Cooperation: Gustaf Nordenskiold's Mesa Verde Collection, David M. Barnes
Denver Sports & Entertainment Law Journal
Though Swedish explorer and scientist Gustaf Nordenskiöld was far from the first individual to excavate at what is now Mesa Verde National Park in Colorado, reports and rumors that a foreigner was shipping antiquities and human remains excavated at Mesa Verde out of the country sent some American citizens into an uproar. The controversy led to Nordenskiöld's arrest and the seizure of his 1400-plus pound Mesa Verde collection, but charges were dropped when it was later discovered that he broke no laws at the time by digging on American public land. More than 100 years have passed since Nordenskiöld shipped …

Book Review: The Shaming State: How The U.S. Treats Citizens In Need, Steve Matthewman
Book Review: The Shaming State: How The U.S. Treats Citizens In Need, Steve Matthewman
Critical Disaster Studies
Salman’s book centers two different constituencies, in two different locations, in the 2010s, who have been impacted by two different disasters. The first group are Iraqi refugees who have been resettled in Wayne County, Michigan. Trying to start again over half a world away, they are trapped in the transit lounge of life, never able to move on, never able to properly belong. They found a state in recession, the automobile industry collapsing, the city of Detroit bankrupt. Their particular county had higher unemployment than the state’s average and a poor median income as well. Economically speaking, ‘Michigan fared worse …

Medical-Legal Partnerships Reinvigorate Systems Lawyering Using An Upstream Approach, Kate L. Mitchell, Debra Chopp
Articles
The upstream framework presented in public health and medicine considers health problems from a preventive perspective, seeking to understand and address the root causes of poor health. Medical-legal partnerships (MLPs) have demonstrated the value of this upstream framework in the practice of law and engage in upstream lawyering by utilizing systemic advocacy to address root causes of injustices and health inequities. This article explores upstreaming and its use by MLPs in reframing legal practice.

Individualism And A False Christ, Benjamin Wagner
Individualism And A False Christ, Benjamin Wagner
Grapho : Concordia Seminary Student Journal
I once sat down with a well-read church historian to inquire about what makes the American Church distinct from those of the past two millennia in Christian tradition. Instead of rambling on about megachurches, televangelists, the prosperity Gospel, Christian liberalism, or anything of the sort, I received a rather blunt and uneventful answer. Immediately after my mouth closed, the historian replied, “The American Church is very individualistic.” From there, the conversation drifted into the fall of Christianity in the West, the rise of secularism, and the general spiritual deadness permeating the atmosphere of America. In the Historian’s mind, there was …
Symbolic Play And Imagination In Child-Centered Play Therapy, Stephanie Anderson
Symbolic Play And Imagination In Child-Centered Play Therapy, Stephanie Anderson
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Child-centered play therapy (CCPT) is based on the theory that a child’s natural means of communication is through play. However, there is a lack of research into how this communication occurs in CCPT sessions. This grounded theory study explored the processes utilized by child-centered play therapists and their clients to communicate with each other using symbolic play and imagination. Data were gathered through semi structured interviews with six child-centered play therapists and three archival videos of CCPT sessions to gain a holistic understanding of how communication occurs in sessions. This study’s data analysis revealed 20 selective and six subcodes associated …
French Algeria: How Influential Was France On The Algerian Identity?, Sabrina Laib
French Algeria: How Influential Was France On The Algerian Identity?, Sabrina Laib
Peace Studies Student Papers and Posters
Algeria is known for its revolutionary acts for freedom against French colonialism. The French ruled the religion after Algeria was handed over to them by the Ottoman Empire. The Empire had previously ruled the Algerian territory 400-500 years prior. Algerians were introduced to French rule, which drastically changed the social and political layout of the country. This paper looks at the two time periods of colonization in Algeria: from 1830-1930, as well as 1931-1962. These time periods are very different from one another and represent unique turning points for the country, with the reason being that the period looks at …
Nomadic Culture And The Pre-Islamic Era Of Turkic Civilizations: A Study Of Shamanism, Lifestyle, And A Modern Societal Reinterpretation, Atagun Ilhan
Theses - ALL
This thesis serves as an exploration of my cultural heritage during the pre-Islamic era of the Turks. I find this topic particularly significant because the pre-Islamic era often receives little attention in Turkey's cultural discourse, and there are even efforts to erase this era, largely influenced by the indoctrination policies of Islamic-driven Turkish governments. My aim is to delve into the cultural, religious, and diverse modes of living of the pre-Islamic nomadic Turkic people who inhabited Eastern Asia. The investigation begins by elucidating Nomadism within its geographical context. Furthermore, it delves into cultural and religious aspects such as shamanism, temples, …
Love Or Control? Analyzing Emotional Expression Within East Asian Family Through Artworks, Wenyi Qian
Love Or Control? Analyzing Emotional Expression Within East Asian Family Through Artworks, Wenyi Qian
Theses - ALL
The author's own spirited and unconventional childhood defied societal norms, challenging conventional expectations for a young girl. In the name of love, their parents endeavored to guide them towards a more reserved and compliant path. Drawing from these personal experiences, this research aims to unravel the intricate fabric of emotional expression within East Asian families and its profound impact on familial relationships and individual psychological well-being through the lens of artistic works. These themes of love and control frequently surface in the creations of East Asian artists, providing a unique perspective to deepen our understanding of the complex emotional dynamics …
Digital Deception: Geographies Of Crisis Pregnancy Centers Post-Roe, Patricia Simone Yoxall
Digital Deception: Geographies Of Crisis Pregnancy Centers Post-Roe, Patricia Simone Yoxall
Theses - ALL
Anti-abortion groups have opened thousands of ‘crisis pregnancy centers’ (CPCs) across the country that deceive pregnant people in order to discourage or outright prevent them from accessing abortion. Amidst tightening state restrictions, those seeking abortion are increasingly looking online for legal guidance, resources, and care itself. Activists and scholars have celebrated the possibility that the Internet might promise enduring access to abortion care through online pill provision. However, the two papers presented here provide evidence that CPCs are also increasingly adopting a new arsenal of digital strategies to identify and reach those they label “the abortion-determined,” interrupting new geographies of …
Diplomacy And The Dead: Authenticating The Sacred In Early Modern Spain, Caroline Barraco
Diplomacy And The Dead: Authenticating The Sacred In Early Modern Spain, Caroline Barraco
Theses - ALL
This thesis considers two case studies from the transnational Spanish relic trade at the turn of the seventeenth century. The first study is that of Don Guillén de San Clemente y Centellas, a Spanish ambassador active at the end of the sixteenth century who was a conduit for antique and medieval relics for elite collectors within Spain. The second is of Luisa de Carvajal y Mendoza, was a Spanish noblewoman who traveled to England at the beginning of the seventeenth century and retrieved, prepared, and transported the bodies of Catholic martyrs back to Spain as new relics. These case studies …
The Girls: Queering The Family Archive, Kathleen Warren
The Girls: Queering The Family Archive, Kathleen Warren
Theses - ALL
My research and artistic practice explore how queerness can offer a liberatory framework for confronting intergenerational cycles of grief that reinforce the dual closets of emotional and sexual repression. Rooted in my own family’s history of traumatic loss, I explore the dialectics of memory and identity in my project The Girls. I explore how closeting operates in families and archives through several theoretical frameworks, with perspectives from Marianne Hirsch, bell hooks, and Michael Foucault’s History of Sexuality. By investigating the gendered roles imposed by the traditional family gaze, religion, and shame, the text examines how photography, archives, and performance can …
User Interaction Design For Self-Expression With An Enactive Approach, Sean Zhai
User Interaction Design For Self-Expression With An Enactive Approach, Sean Zhai
Theses - ALL
This thesis explores user interaction design for self-expression using an enactive approach to understand and enhance the ways in which people interact with digital media. The research investigates the applicability of Enactive Cognition Theory within interaction design, particularly focusing on voice and movement to create more intuitive and engaging experiences for community actors with diverse abilities. This study, employing participatory action research methodology, suggests a reevaluation of traditional user interaction paradigms which typically prioritize conventional inputs. The development process includes the cyclical phases of planning, action, observation, and reflection. It incorporates both direct user feedback and iterative design improvements, culminating …
Initiated Reading: Occult Hermeneutics In Helena Blavatsky's Isis Unveiled, Diana Brown
Initiated Reading: Occult Hermeneutics In Helena Blavatsky's Isis Unveiled, Diana Brown
Dissertations - ALL
In this dissertation, I argue that Theosophical Society co-founder Helena Petrovna Blavatsky’s first major work, Isis Unveiled (1877), describes an occult hermeneutic of myth based on the privileging of intuition, theorized especially in Neoplatonic terms, and premised on a tripartite spirit-soul-body constitution of the human being. Her hermeneutic also privileges initiation, construed as experiential gnosis often produced by ritual, and she opposes both intuition and initiation to reason and empiricism. Theorizing global myths as allegories revealing elements of a universal religion, or secret doctrine, traceable to India, she brings together an esotericism premised on a combination of Indian religion and …
Caring For Creation: Catholics, Justice, And Socio-Ecologies In Appalachia, Dominic Wilkins
Caring For Creation: Catholics, Justice, And Socio-Ecologies In Appalachia, Dominic Wilkins
Dissertations - ALL
Geographers have long studied the challenge of achieving holistic justice. Rather than something found wholly within human relations, in recent years these analyses have increasingly understood justice as socio-ecological. The Catholic Church is a global institution with more than 1.3 billion adherents and millions of employees operating hundreds of thousands of parishes, schools, and other institutions across the world. The Church has long centered justice through both activism and intellectual theorizing. To date, however, geographers have not rigorously engaged this work or the ongoing environmental turn within the Catholic Church and its conceptions of justice. Scholars specializing in religions and …
Landscapes Of Life And Death: Placing The Spring Street Presbyterian Church In Nineteenth Century New York, Katherine Elizabeth Hicks
Landscapes Of Life And Death: Placing The Spring Street Presbyterian Church In Nineteenth Century New York, Katherine Elizabeth Hicks
Dissertations - ALL
This dissertation is an archaeological investigation of the burial vault complex (1820-1849) associated with the historical Spring Street Presbyterian Church, formerly located on the corner of Spring and Varick Streets in Lower Manhattan. Tacking between the realms of Life and Death, this project applies name and address data sourced from historical documents and the mortuary artifacts buried within the vaults to trace and place the lives of the interred individuals across the landscape of 19th century Manhattan. Using a geographical information system, this dissertation engages with theories of landscape, life and death course through such concepts as urbanization, scapes, and …
The Even Harder Cases: How Conceptual Art As A Paradigm Affirms The Viability Of A Theory Of Art, William Galloway Osborne Iii
The Even Harder Cases: How Conceptual Art As A Paradigm Affirms The Viability Of A Theory Of Art, William Galloway Osborne Iii
Dissertations - ALL
This dissertation proposes a theory of art founded on sociocultural accounts of creativity, with conceptual art as its explanatory model. This proposal is a direct response to Dom Lopes’s thesis in Beyond Art, which argues that a theory of art is not viable and that such theorizing should be passed to individual arts. Requirements for a viable theory of art emerge via a sustained critique of Lopes’s arguments. These requirements can be met by turning Lopes’s account of marginal “hard cases” on their head, centralizing the model of conceptual art as explanatory paradigm. Additionally, I introduce the “even harder cases”, …
Representation Matters: A Critical Discourse Analysis Of Media Texts About Eight Black Women College Presidents At 4-Year Institutions, Laura Hazel Jack
Representation Matters: A Critical Discourse Analysis Of Media Texts About Eight Black Women College Presidents At 4-Year Institutions, Laura Hazel Jack
Dissertations - ALL
Research has found that diversity has a positive impact on innovation, but the profile of higher education leaders has not become drastically more diverse. Although there have been modest changes, they have not been consistent with the changing demographics of college students. The few high-profile presidential appointments of Black women that have received media attention have been the exception rather than the norm. This dissertation used critical discourse analysis and content analysis to examine how eight Black women college presidents were written about in the media. The research questions explored the discourse about Black women college presidents and their leadership …
Building A Cinematic World For Queer: Ways Of Winking Back At Barbie (2023), Diana Durk
Building A Cinematic World For Queer: Ways Of Winking Back At Barbie (2023), Diana Durk
Theses - ALL
This essay examines Reddit commentary of the new Barbie film that gave a space for some audience members to connect themselves to the film through queering its plot and characters. Through Reddit commentary, users explored the character design and how characters perform identity within this film and how it relates to their own experiences of gender and identity. This essay excavates how gender identity is communicated within popular culture and the need to queer a film to create one’s own representation. Through the importance of understanding the harm of a binary lens and how the binary gaze creates a stereotypical …
Empowerment Or Entrapment? A Critical Analysis Of Microfinance Operations Among Female Borrowers In Kitui County, Kenya, Eric Kioko Musembi
Empowerment Or Entrapment? A Critical Analysis Of Microfinance Operations Among Female Borrowers In Kitui County, Kenya, Eric Kioko Musembi
Theses - ALL
“Empowerment or Entrapment? A Critical Analysis of Microfinance Operations among Female Borrowers in Kitui County, Kenya” is a research project that aims to understand the dynamics of microfinance loan expectations and their implications for women. For this study, one cannot help but borrow or get insights from those who have written about the culture of Africa. To a greater extent, they all touch on the anthropological aspect of Africa. I use anthropological/ cultural theoretical perspectives, political economy, and Afro-feminism as my leading theories. I hypothesize that where women are typically engaged in heavy domestic chores and are undervalued and under-compensated …
Beyond The Brush: How Women Artists Navigate Communication And Creativity Amidst The Rise Of Ai, Carrie Welch
Beyond The Brush: How Women Artists Navigate Communication And Creativity Amidst The Rise Of Ai, Carrie Welch
Theses - ALL
Women artists who use physical paints, canvases, charcoal, and pencils to create their work represent a marginalized group in the art world who may be perceived as distanced or removed from artificial intelligence (AI). While AI, art, feminist aesthetics, and media representation are each areas of rich research, they have not yet been brought together. As art itself is reconsidered alongside the rise of AI, this study conducted 20 in-depth, semi-structured qualitative interviews with women artists to understand the implications of choosing to incorporate AI into their work, changes to their artistic processes, adjustments to their communications about their work, …
The Spaces Between: A Study Of The Split Natures Of Clay, Eric R. Jager
The Spaces Between: A Study Of The Split Natures Of Clay, Eric R. Jager
Theses - ALL
This paper will delve into the dichotomies of clay across multiple landscapes; historical vs. contemporary, natural vs. industrial, mass produced vs. individualistic, and art vs. craft; and how those directly translate into my experience, feelings, and vision as an Alaskan-born ceramic artist working in America today.
Sociocultural Behaviors That Affect How Haitian Americans Seek Financial Information, Rebecca Charles Williams
Sociocultural Behaviors That Affect How Haitian Americans Seek Financial Information, Rebecca Charles Williams
Dissertations - ALL
Sociocultural behaviors related to information-seeking are common among Haitians, where a line firmly separates the roles of adults and children. This study assessed how the children of Haitian immigrants sought information about financial literacy despite sociocultural behaviors that restrict financial conversations between adults and children. Utilizing Reijo Savolainen’s study of six sociocultural barriers to information-seeking, this mixed methods study explored whether cultural behaviors affected the financial literacy of Haitian Americans. Data was aggregated from a combination of survey responses and semi-structured interviews. The demographic (n=131) was limited to the Millennial and Generation Z children of Haitian immigrants. Participants reported how …
Proposals To Address Health Disparities In Occupational Therapy, Madison Michelle Cotten
Proposals To Address Health Disparities In Occupational Therapy, Madison Michelle Cotten
Honors Theses
Health disparities, “preventable differences in the burden of disease, injury, violence, or opportunities to achieve optimal health,” are infamous for their effects within both general healthcare and occupational therapy settings (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 2008). Though existing literature establishes a need for the widespread adoption of anti-discrimination measures, specific recommendations for occupational therapy schools remain limited. This project aims to remedy this gap in knowledge by serving as an initial overview of healthcare disparities within occupational therapy and by addressing the potential value of incorporating diversity courses into the curriculum of occupational therapy schools. Through the presentation …
