Reclaiming Democracy: Examining Disenfranchisement Laws And Policy Recommendations To Restore Voting Rights For Formerly Incarcerated People, Maeve Conte

CMC Senior Theses

This paper examines the disenfranchisement of formerly incarcerated people and the steps by which they can participate in civic society again. It delves into the history of these laws, both in the United States and abroad, and the philosophies behind disenfranchisement. It then uses Florida’s Amendment 4 as a case study in current debates surrounding voting rights. After a literature review on voting, it assesses the voting population inside prisons in states that allow it and includes policy recommendations for these states. This thesis also applies interventions from the literature review to reduce the cost for formerly incarcerated people. Ultimately, …


The Role Of Genetic Factors In Primary Hyperhidrosis, Audrey Yoon Jan 2024

The Role Of Genetic Factors In Primary Hyperhidrosis, Audrey Yoon

CMC Senior Theses

Primary Hyperhidrosis (HH) is a disorder characterized by excessive sweating in focal areas, such as the palms, soles, craniofacial and axillary region. Over 2% of the world’s population is affected by some form of HH and often report low quality of life scores (QOLs) due to its physical and psychological effects. Current treatments, burdened with side effects and varying success rates, call for a more effective approach. This paper proposes a genome-wide analysis study (GWAS) to identify any genes and loci that are significantly associated with primary HH. Following the results of the GWAS, a subsequent gene knockout experiment is …

This review examines a range of policies implemented across different regions, …


Mentalized Affectivity And Its Role In Acculturative Adjustment And Well-Being, Bassem Barada Jan 2024

Mentalized Affectivity And Its Role In Acculturative Adjustment And Well-Being, Bassem Barada

Dissertations and Theses

Immigration is a phenomenon that occurs on a global scale and continues to grow in prevalence to our present day. Therefore, acculturation remains an essential area of interest for the mental health field. Specifically, assessment of identification with either one’s ethnic culture or the dominant culture remains a robust way to capture acculturative adjustment (Chance, 2015). More recently, emotion regulation has emerged as an important construct in understanding wellbeing. Mentalized affectivity (MA) is an insight-based regulatory process that highlights the importance of understanding current emotional distress in the context of one’s past history (Jurist, 2005). The three dimensions of emotion …

Is The European Union (Eu) A Normative Power?: An In-Depth Look At Its Actions And Policies On Refugees, Asylum Seekers And Forced Migrants, Rumaisa N. Jumana

Dissertations and Theses

This paper examines the legality of the actions of the European Union with regards to their treatment of refugees and the legitimacy of the subsequent policies when tested against prevailing human rights norms and established international law on the rights of refugees, asylum seekers and the forcibly displaced. It takes an in-depth look at the initial commitment of the EU to protecting asylum seekers through its endorsement of the 1951 Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees and its 1967 Protocol and highlights the eventual shift in its policies in this respect. Based on the scrutinization of the policies and …


A Study Of Gender Apartheid: Afghanistan And The Islamic Republic Of Iran, Golazin Safaeimojarad Jan 2024

A Study Of Gender Apartheid: Afghanistan And The Islamic Republic Of Iran, Golazin Safaeimojarad

Dissertations and Theses

This thesis investigates the systemic and institutionalized forms of gender-based discrimination termed gender apartheid, focusing on Afghanistan and the Islamic Republic of Iran. It argues that gender apartheid, a severe form of discrimination where women and girls are subjugated and denied fundamental rights under institutional frameworks, and Afghanistan under Taliban rule and Iran under the Islamic Republic of Iran are two prime cases of gender apartheid. Through a qualitative research approach employing case studies and a comprehensive review of legal documents, academic materials, and reports from reputable organizations, the thesis outlines how gender apartheid is not only a direct product …


Divorce As A Growth Process: Marital Separation And Separation-Individuation In Adulthood, Anna Egleson Jan 2024

Divorce As A Growth Process: Marital Separation And Separation-Individuation In Adulthood, Anna Egleson

Dissertations and Theses

Research has focused on the negative effects that divorce has on divorcees, on children of divorced parents, and on society. Research has also shown however that many individuals who go through a divorce emerge happier, more content and satisfied with their choice, even though the process was a painful one. Despite this evidence, there is a gap in the research looking at positive, and growth-related experiences of those who have recently gone through a divorce. Theoretical arguments and clinical observations provide a foundation to support the idea that there is a relationship between separation-individuation in adulthood and the internal shifts …


Roadmaps To Post-Communist Neoliberalism: The Case Of The Baltic States, Jokubas Salyga Jan 2024

Roadmaps To Post-Communist Neoliberalism: The Case Of The Baltic States, Jokubas Salyga

Political Science Faculty Publications

This article uncovers the pre-1991 origins of Baltic neoliberal regimes. It highlights the role of the communication networks between reformist economists in the Baltic National Fronts and social forces advocating neoliberalism in Scandinavia and the United States. We assert that those networks functioned as the early carriers of ideational and policy change, even if reform contents were authored by domestic rather than transnational agencies. Firstly, the article previews the structural factors conducive to network formation. Secondly, it examines the networks by highlighting cross-national differences. Finally, it chronicles the idiosyncratic paths of neoliberal reformers’ ascendance to the positions of influence.

Determined Factors And Effective Strategies For Developing English Speaking Fluency Among Vietnamese University Students, Mai Vy Thi Luu, Tran Le Thu Huong,, Tran Ngoc Quy,, Vo Quoc Cuong, Nguyen Truc Anh

PASAA

Fluency development is one of the prominent components of a well-balanced language course. In particular, speaking fluency interests second language (L2) researchers who have continuously tried to look for the finest approach for helping L2 learners attain a certain level of fluency to achieve effective communication. To this end, the primary purpose of this research is to explore what factors affect English-speaking fluency and what strategies can effectively boost its development among a cohort of Vietnamese university students. The participants were 142 English majors who filled out a questionnaire measuring their perceived self-efficacy concerning English-speaking fluency. Four teachers and six …


Trying To Be Funny: A Conversation Analysis Of Humor In Efl University Students’ Role-Plays, Siriprapa Srithep, Patharaorn Patharakorn Jan 2024

Trying To Be Funny: A Conversation Analysis Of Humor In Efl University Students’ Role-Plays, Siriprapa Srithep, Patharaorn Patharakorn

PASAA

Through the lens of conversational analysis (CA), humor or funniness is not an inherent property of a message, nor an internal state of any social action, but as something interactionally achieved (Glenn, 2003). Teachers are often encouraged to utilize humor to reduce anxiety, lower affective filters, and make language more “memorable” (Bell, 2005; Tarone, 2000; Ziyaeemehr et al., 2011). In the current research endeavor, we focused on an activity called “Drama and Creativity,” an extracurricular activity which is offered to firstyear undergraduate students at a public university in Thailand. During the activity, students worked in groups of three to four …


The Role Of Morphological Awareness And Background Knowledge In Turkish Efl Learners’ Writing Ability, Peri Aslan Jan 2024

The Role Of Morphological Awareness And Background Knowledge In Turkish Efl Learners’ Writing Ability, Peri Aslan

PASAA

Morphological awareness is the metalinguistic realization that words consist of meaningful roots and affixes that can be isolated and manipulated. Learners at different proficiency levels use various forms of background knowledge such as cultural knowledge, technical knowledge, religious knowledge, vocabulary knowledge, and contextual visuals. The purpose of this research was to see whether morphological awareness and background knowledge affected the fluency and accuracy of Turkish EFL learners. The participants consisted of 80 Turkish EFL students. At first, participants were homogenized to select samples and eliminate outliers, then a pretest was used to assess participants’ writing fluency and accuracy prior to …


The Effects Of Flipped Learning Integrated With Role-Play On Efl Business English Undergraduates’ Oral Communication Performance, Pallapa Lertcharoenwanich, Kittitouch Soontornwipast Jan 2024

The Effects Of Flipped Learning Integrated With Role-Play On Efl Business English Undergraduates’ Oral Communication Performance, Pallapa Lertcharoenwanich, Kittitouch Soontornwipast

PASAA

English oral communication becomes essential, especially for business English students since their future careers require a good command of English. The purposes of this study were to determine if the integration of flipped learning and three types of role-plays (i.e., scripted, semi-scripted, and non-scripted) could enhance English oral communication performance of business English students and to investigate the students’ perceptions towards the approach. This quasi-experimental mixed-methods research with a two-group pre-test-post-test design was conducted with 68 fourth-year business English undergraduates at a public university in Thailand. The participants were divided into a control group (n = 38) and an experimental …


Integrating Reflective Practice Into Undergraduate Teacher Education Programmes In Elt: A No-Lose Deal For Thai University, Andrzej Cirocki, Pariwat Imsa-Ard Jan 2024

Integrating Reflective Practice Into Undergraduate Teacher Education Programmes In Elt: A No-Lose Deal For Thai University, Andrzej Cirocki, Pariwat Imsa-Ard

PASAA

The concept of reflection is probably as old as educational discourse itself. It is an inextricable element of teaching and learning that enables teachers to identify and solve problems related to their teaching practice or learn more about various aspects of their profession. Therefore, to fully prepare reflective language practitioners, it is essential for reflection to be embedded in teacher education programmes in English Language Teaching (ELT). With this in mind, the current contribution begins by operationalising the concept of reflective practice and describing reflective practitioners. It then presents models of reflective teaching, synthesises previous research on reflective practice, and …

That’S Not In My Position Description: A Discourse Analysis Of Sbae Migratory Context, Becky Haddad, Jonathan Velez, Josh Stewart, Haden Botkin

Department of Agricultural Leadership, Education, and Communication: Faculty Publications

While the choice to move to a new school is personal, many play a role in justifying that choice for the mobile teacher. These justifiers—or influencers—make up the socializing network for teachers (in this case, SBAE teachers) in new settings. Our study outlined how mobile SBAE teachers rationalize the choice to change schools and validate career moves. We used a positioning theory approach to discourse to give migrators (teachers who change schools) and influencers a voice. Positioning theory allowed us to situate migrators as they reflected on their choice to change school districts, and influencers as they recounted their …
