Like, Comment, Subscribe, And Share: An Investigation Of Emerging Adults’ Lived Experiences Of Relationship Information On Social Media, Marquitta Fields

Antioch University Dissertations & Theses

This qualitative study explores how emerging adults engage with relationship education content on social media platforms and the implications for promoting accessible myself in the personal lived experiences of participants while removing listener preconceptions, identifying psychological structures that explain their interactions with relationship content. The findings reveal that emerging adults use a variety of social media platforms, including Instagram, TikTok, Reddit, Facebook, Pinterest, and YouTube, to consume relationship information. Participants prioritize content that is authentic, relatable, and derived from personal experiences over generic or impersonal advice. They value content that encourages healthy communication, self-reflection, and personal growth. The study also …


The Grief Of Identity Formation: How Non-Death Loss Complicates Trans Identity Narratives, R. Frank Jan 2024

The Grief Of Identity Formation: How Non-Death Loss Complicates Trans Identity Narratives, R. Frank

Antioch University Dissertations & Theses

Trans members of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and other marginalized sexual and gender identities (LGBT+) community may be at risk of erasure from both dominant sociocultural scripts and clinical psychological research. Identity development experts have asserted that identity is fixed by late adolescence, with some room for evolution depending on context (Marcia, 2002; Sokol, 2009). Research about grief suggests that anything that has been lost has the potential to be experienced through the lens of grief (Chapple et al., 2016; Collings, 2007). This grief of non-death loss has been linked to loss of relationships, expected life trajectory, and self-concept. …


Needs Assessment For Sexual Violence Trauma-Informed Care In The Dental Field, Joshua Garufi Jan 2024

Needs Assessment For Sexual Violence Trauma-Informed Care In The Dental Field, Joshua Garufi

Antioch University Dissertations & Theses

Trauma-informed care provides a framework for health care providers to more effectively treat their patients who have a history of trauma (Hamberger et al., 2019). Upon reviewing the literature, there is a paucity of research on trauma-informed care in the dental field. This research performed a needs assessment to determine if trauma-informed care is being implemented into the curriculum at a specific dental school, SUNY Buffalo. This research also inquired about residential dentist and faculty attitudes toward trauma-informed care being implemented in the dental field. Two short, original surveys were administered to residential dentists who recently graduated from the University …


"The In-Betweeners": The Lived Experience Of Adult Cochlear Implant Users, Aylah Sroloff Jan 2024

"The In-Betweeners": The Lived Experience Of Adult Cochlear Implant Users, Aylah Sroloff

Antioch University Dissertations & Theses

This phenomenological study explored the lived experiences of adult cochlear implant (CI) users, implanted prior to the age of 10-years-old. Seven adult CI users were recruited. In-depth, semi-structured, qualitative interviews were conducted to explore participants’ experiences and identities as CI users. Transcripts were analyzed using interpretative phenomenological analysis, through which six group experimental themes were generated: (a) CIs and identity,” (b) social isolation, (c) advocacy, (d), costs and benefits of integration into the hearing world, and (e) “the future of CIs.” This study’s findings highlighted participants’ perspectives on living with CIs, the challenges they face, their process of identity exploration, …


Exploring The Impact Of Early Adversity On Young Children With Autism, Kelsea M. Batista Jan 2024

Exploring The Impact Of Early Adversity On Young Children With Autism, Kelsea M. Batista

Antioch University Dissertations & Theses

This dissertation builds on a small but growing literature exploring the association between early adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Research suggests that children with ASD are more likely to experience ACEs throughout their lifetime due to increased vulnerability to victimization and social communication deficits. Still, to date, there is scant research explicitly exploring the impact of ACEs on young children diagnosed with ASD. This study utilized a biopsychosocial framework to further examine whether a relationship exists between ACEs and ASD. The objectives of this study include: (a) to determine whether a relationship exists …


An Organic Inquiry Into Teacher Experiences Of Self-Healing, Alison Davis Jan 2024

An Organic Inquiry Into Teacher Experiences Of Self-Healing, Alison Davis

Antioch University Dissertations & Theses

This dissertation engages the spiritually-inspired methodology of organic inquiry to investigate how teachers practice self-healing in order to become available to students. Self-healing is a vital part of freeing up the teacher’s perceptive capacities to more deeply and fully attend to the needs of students. Self-healing work includes a variety of practices and modalities, including spiritual ones, in order to work through trauma, adversity, dis-ease, stress, and one-sidedness. Research shows that self-healing, especially in regards to mindfulness and meditation, equips teachers to confront compassion fatigue, secondary trauma, burnout, illness, and more. There is also ample evidence that training one’s attention …


The Impact On Psychologists In California Of The Rapid Shift To Teletherapy Due To The Covid-19 Pandemic In March 2020, Oriana Mcgee Jan 2024

The Impact On Psychologists In California Of The Rapid Shift To Teletherapy Due To The Covid-19 Pandemic In March 2020, Oriana Mcgee

Antioch University Dissertations & Theses

In March 2020, virtually overnight, in-person interactions shifted to online or other remote realms due to the governor of California's lock-down orders in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. At the same time, the need for mental health services including psychotherapy skyrocketed. Psychologists in California met this overwhelming demand by adapting to the challenges of the moment and embracing teletherapy, a relatively new mode of therapy for most practitioners at that time. Many studies were launched to capture real-time data about mental health workers' shift to providing remote and online services; however, most of these studies were focused on practitioners' experiences …


Ccs In The Checkerboard West: Lessons On How To Move With The Federal Government On The Board, Andrew Emrich, Elisabeth Takeuchi, Tara Righetti Jan 2024

Ccs In The Checkerboard West: Lessons On How To Move With The Federal Government On The Board, Andrew Emrich, Elisabeth Takeuchi, Tara Righetti

Wyoming Law Review

Federal and tribal trust lands will be essential to the development of carbon removal projects in much of the western United States. As a result, project developers in Montana and Wyoming have already requested rights to pore space in nearly a million acres of public lands. Yet, despite the enactment of incentives for carbon removal and the Class VI regulatory program, Congress has not yet spoken with respect to the use of federally managed lands for sequestration. Notwithstanding this lack of direction, project developers and land managers throughout the western United States are working to enable projects relying on existing …


Tiktok As Social Communication Tool To Encourage Participation In Volunteering Projects, Belén Moreno-Albarracín, Tania Blanco-Sánchez Jan 2024

Tiktok As Social Communication Tool To Encourage Participation In Volunteering Projects, Belén Moreno-Albarracín, Tania Blanco-Sánchez

Faculty Research, Scholarly, and Creative Activity

Social media are regarded as tools of communication and social influence. Notwithstanding this, TikTok’s majority audience in 2023 is made up of members of generations Z and Alpha, associated in previous studies with a participatory crisis. Given this contradiction, a research question is proposed: do young people use TikTok to consolidate social values such as solidarity? To answer it, the main objective is to analyse the use of TikTok as an instrument for youth participation in volunteer projects. A mixed methodology is used, based on a content analysis of the 150 videos uploaded to TikTok with the hashtag #voluntariado and …

True Grit: Exploring Nonprofit Sector Resilience Following Economic Recessions, Xintong Chen, Kerry Kuenzi, Lindsey Evans, Amanda Stewart

Faculty Research, Scholarly, and Creative Activity

The nonprofit sector has been portrayed as resilient, describing a sector that persists despite challenges. We investigate nonprofit resiliency by examining how organizational characteristics, strategies, and community factors equipped organizations to recover following economic recessions. Utilizing a fixed effects panel regression model, our study covers a period of 29 years (1989–2018), encompassing three economic crises in the United States. The primary focus is examining the sector’s financial health and the resilience of the constituent organizations. Our findings describe a sector buoyed by the resilience of larger and older organizations, earned revenue, and contribution revenue, as well as the role of …

The Relationship Between Firm-Level Climate Change Exposure, Financial Integration, Cost Of Capital And Investment Efficiency, Konstantina K. Agoraki, Maria Giaka, Dimitrios Konstantios, Ioannis Negkakis Jan 2024

The Relationship Between Firm-Level Climate Change Exposure, Financial Integration, Cost Of Capital And Investment Efficiency, Konstantina K. Agoraki, Maria Giaka, Dimitrios Konstantios, Ioannis Negkakis

Plymouth Business School

This paper investigates the impact of firm-level climate change exposure on corporate cost of capital, growth opportunities and new investment across 67 countries with varying degrees of financial integration from 2002 to 2021. The analysis documents that firms with high climate change exposure have a negative outlook, face increased cost of capital, and have reduced investment activity. Moreover, firms with climate change exposure are characterised by investment inefficiency and slower speed of adjustment towards the target investment. These findings become more pronounced for companies which operate in countries with high levels of financial integration. Our results are robust to alternative …

Coattailing For Regime Continuity?: Unraveling Duterte's Legacy In Marcos Jr.'S 2022 Electoral Victory, Gabrielle Ann S. Mendoza, Imelda B. Deinla, Cristine Lian C. Domingo, Jurel K. Yap Jan 2024

Coattailing For Regime Continuity?: Unraveling Duterte's Legacy In Marcos Jr.'S 2022 Electoral Victory, Gabrielle Ann S. Mendoza, Imelda B. Deinla, Cristine Lian C. Domingo, Jurel K. Yap

Ateneo School of Government Publications

The electoral victory of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has been attributed to a range of factors such as misinformation, patronage, and populism. We argue that Marcos’ electoral victory should not be treated as an isolated instantaneous event, but rather a result of a shift in the country's political narrative due to the legacy of his predecessor. The shift to illiberal populism is tied to the public's continued support for Duterte's flagship policies as well as in the proliferation of populist rhetoric on social media. Using a non-probability survey of 1500 Filipinos, we find that support for President Duterte and his …


The Need For A United States National Antiquities Database: A Valuable Suggestion From The Nicosia Convention, Sula, Dea Jan 2024

The Need For A United States National Antiquities Database: A Valuable Suggestion From The Nicosia Convention, Sula, Dea

Santa Clara Journal of International Law

Antiquities trafficking is an international cultural and security risk due to the involvement of organized crime. The Nicosia Convention proposes utilization of shared national databases cataloging antiquities as a method to combat the antiquities black market. The United States should adopt this database recommendation. A comprehensive database of antiquities in the U.S. is technically feasible. Further, a database would strengthen American criminal law by creating evidence that a buyer could have notice and knowledge of the status of a trafficked antiquity, the lack of which currently incentivizes authorities to use civil forfeiture actions instead of criminal prosecution. Implementing an antiquities …


Esg Investing: Government Push Or Market Pull?, Mendenhall, Allen, Sutter, Daniel Jan 2024

Esg Investing: Government Push Or Market Pull?, Mendenhall, Allen, Sutter, Daniel

Santa Clara Journal of International Law

This Article documents various government actions driving the Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) movement to offer perspective on the debate regarding whether markets or governments propel ESG. These include mandating an energy transition; promulgating laws, rules, and directives compelling ESG reporting; and providing generous tax incentives and financial subsidies. We document the government push for ESG in the United States, Europe, and other Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) nations, and by international financial institutions. We do not deny that many investors across the globe are interested in ESG as opposed to only private returns. However, the breadth and …

American Interests And Russian Arbitration: Overcoming Confusion And Concern, Blake Alderson

South Carolina Journal of International Law and Business

This article seeks to circumvent potential pitfalls for American investors by highlighting the key governing principles in Russian arbitration and the enforcement of associated awards, both foreign and domestic. To this end, the article will briefly orient the reader with the applicable commercial law and authorities behind the arbitral structure before engaging with the governing authorities of the Law on International Commercial Arbitration (ICA) and the New York Arbitration Convention (NY Convention) on recognizing foreign arbitral awards, with the end goal of establishing a cohesive path for prospective American businesses to pursue necessary arbitration actions on Russian soil. To aid …


Cruel And Unusual Punishment: A Human Rights-Based Argument For Extending The Eighth Amendment To Capital Punishment Methods, Brittany Walker Jan 2024

Cruel And Unusual Punishment: A Human Rights-Based Argument For Extending The Eighth Amendment To Capital Punishment Methods, Brittany Walker

Human Rights Brief

Though Americans generally support capital punishment, there are many issues with how states currently choose to execute individuals, including concern that the different execution methods used by states to carry out capital punishment violates the Eighth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, lack of regulation of states and lack of accountability. Further, certain execution methods may violate the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR). This article suggests recommendations for state legislatures, the United States Congress, and the Supreme Court for ensuring the humane treatment of individuals during an execution.

Jurisdictional Choice For Space Resource Utilization Projects: Current Space Resource Utilization Laws, Giannoni-Crystal, Francesca Jan 2024

Jurisdictional Choice For Space Resource Utilization Projects: Current Space Resource Utilization Laws, Giannoni-Crystal, Francesca

Santa Clara Journal of International Law

Space resource utilization is coming. While some legal impediments exist, they are not insurmountable. The ban on the appropriation of resources found in Article II of the Outer Space Treaty (“OST”) does not apply to extracted resources, according to the most reasonable interpretation of Article II and the view held by almost all countries and the overwhelming majority of scholars. The Moon Agreement is not a barrier to space resource utilization because it has not been adopted by many countries (and none of the major space-faring ones). By contrast, the Artemis Accords, which have been signed by a significant number …


The Exceptional Unfairness Of The “Exceptional And Extremely Unusual Hardship” Test, Bin Mohsin, Momin Jan 2024

The Exceptional Unfairness Of The “Exceptional And Extremely Unusual Hardship” Test, Bin Mohsin, Momin

Santa Clara Journal of International Law

Legislators often face criticism for introducing ambiguous terms into law. The "exceptional and extremely unusual hardship" (EEUH) standard in U.S. immigration law is one such prominent example. Delving into a historical analysis, the article tracks the evolution of the EEUH standard from its incorporation in the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 to its current applications. Through a comprehensive survey across different jurisdictions such as the UK, Canada, and Australia, the paper exposes the inadequacies of the EEUH standard, emphasizing its obsolescence. Advocating for a paradigmatic reassessment, it proposes the replacement of the EEUH standard with the “best interest of …

Thunder Road: The Implementation Of The Representative Actions Directive In Europe, Alexandre Biard-Denieul Jan 2024

Thunder Road: The Implementation Of The Representative Actions Directive In Europe, Alexandre Biard-Denieul

Emory International Law Review

In December 2020, the European Union adopted breakthrough legislation setting out new rules for collective redress—better known as “representative actions”—in Europe. EU Directive 2020/1828 gives representative entities the possibility to seek injunctive and/or compensatory measures on behalf of groups of consumers affected by mass harm situations. The EU Member States had until December 25, 2022 to transpose the European rules into their national legal systems. The transposition phase was expected to be key as the Directive gives significant leeway to the Member States to decide on several important procedural aspects likely to influence the overall functioning and effectiveness of representative …


Class Action Waivers In Arbitration Agreements: The Twenty-First Century Arbitration Battleground And Implications For The E.U. Countries, Linda S. Mullenix Jan 2024

Class Action Waivers In Arbitration Agreements: The Twenty-First Century Arbitration Battleground And Implications For The E.U. Countries, Linda S. Mullenix

Emory International Law Review

Without doubt the U.S. Supreme Court in the twenty-first century has been obsessed with the problem of corporate attorneys’ inclusion of class action waivers in arbitration agreements. This article traces the emergence of the class action waiver issue, which developed in tandem with the plaintiffs’ embrace and proliferation of class action litigation at the end of the twentieth century. The discussion comments on plaintiffs’ initial attempts to request and secure class arbitration where the arbitration clauses were silent, culminating in Supreme Court’s opinion permitting arbitrators to determine this issue. With the Court opening the door to possible classwide arbitration, corporate …


Will Climate Change Be The Next Grotian Moment?, Michael P. Scharf Jan 2024

Will Climate Change Be The Next Grotian Moment?, Michael P. Scharf

Case Western Reserve Journal of International Law

Under the classic paradigm of international environmental law articulated in the 1941 Trail Smelter arbitration decision, States are responsible for downstream or downwind harm that crosses from their territory into another State. But climate change threatens not just neighboring States but the entire global commons. This Article explores whether the conditions are ripe for a “Grotian Moment”—a paradigm shifting development leading to accelerated formation of customary international law related to the human right to a healthy environment.


U.S. National Security And Climate Change, Alexandra E. Koch, Nicole K. Carle, Gregory P. Noone Jan 2024

U.S. National Security And Climate Change, Alexandra E. Koch, Nicole K. Carle, Gregory P. Noone

Case Western Reserve Journal of International Law

As sea temperatures rise and natural disasters intensify, it is critical that the U.S. national security strategy actively include plans to account for global climate change and address the complex environmental and humanitarian challenges that parallel and are driven by rising temperatures, such as resource scarcity, forced displacement, and regional instability. Climate change acts as a “threat multiplier for instability” in some of the most volatile regions of the world and can contribute to rising tensions even in historically stable regions. Climate change can also lead to increased vulnerability of military infrastructure and logistics, undermine military readiness, and demand a …


Taxing Dirty Luxuries, Victoria J. Haneman Jan 2024

Taxing Dirty Luxuries, Victoria J. Haneman

Case Western Reserve Journal of International Law

Dirty luxuries are items that are pleasant or nice to have, not necessities, that absolutely bludgeon the environment. From the merely affluent to the ultra-rich, consumers enjoying dirty luxuries, such as luxury clothing, private jets, superyachts, SUVs, and vacation cruises, drive one of the most polluting types of consumption on the planet. This Article explores the climate costs of dirty luxuries, considers the current and proposed international efforts to address the climate impact of these luxuries, and proposes structures by which these luxuries may be taxed to either reduce consumption or compensate for negative externalities.
