A Phenomenological Study Of The Experience Of Institutional Betrayal And Help-Seeking Behaviors Of Military Sexual Trauma, Victoria Sheree Tolbert
A Phenomenological Study Of The Experience Of Institutional Betrayal And Help-Seeking Behaviors Of Military Sexual Trauma, Victoria Sheree Tolbert
Doctoral Dissertations and Projects
The purpose of this phenomenological study was to describe military sexual trauma survivors' experiences of military institutional betrayal and help-seeking behaviors. The study was grounded in Jennifer Freyd’s institutional betrayal theory. Using institutional betrayal as a framework was useful in illuminating the effects of institutional betrayal on survivors' perceptions of trust, safety, and decision-making regarding seeking support. The study aimed to understand the complex dynamics between institutional responses, perceived betrayal, and subsequent support-seeking actions among MST survivors within military contexts. Data collection included in-depth interviews, journaling, and cognitive representations with purposively sampled MST survivors. The study used thematic analysis to …

Racial Reconciliation In Black And White: A Qualitative Study Of Live Mississippi Blues Music Communication, Christian Patterson
Doctoral Dissertations and Projects
The purpose of this qualitative phenomenological research effort is to investigate a problem regarding communication between Black and White Mississippians in live Mississippi blues music settings. The central research question for this study is as follows: Can live Mississippi blues music communication be used as a tool to strengthen race relations between Black and White Mississippians? Few studies exist regarding this matter. Understanding this phenomenon is relevant because racial reconciliation is critical to the Magnolia State’s future success, and research has proven that music can unify individuals. To facilitate comprehension, a thorough literature review describes Mississippi’s racial challenges from the …

INTRODUCTION: The utility of pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) for high-grade traumatic injuries remains unclear and data surrounding its use are limited. We hypothesized that PD does not result in improved outcomes when compared with non-PD surgical management of grade IV-V pancreaticoduodenal injuries. METHODS: This is a retrospective, multicenter analysis from 35 level 1 trauma centers from January 2010 to December 2020. Included patients were ≥ 15 years of age with the American Association for the Surgery of Trauma grade IV-V duodenal and/or pancreatic injuries. The study compared operative repair strategy: PD versus non-PD. RESULTS: The sample (n=95) was young (26 years), male …
Looking Back To Old New York City In Herman Melville’S “Bartleby”, Shawn Thomson
Looking Back To Old New York City In Herman Melville’S “Bartleby”, Shawn Thomson
Literatures and Cultural Studies Faculty Publications
Though “Bartleby, the Scrivener” takes place in the three-block area in and around the lawyer’s Wall Street offices, the uptown attitudes toward city life of the suburbs inform the lawyer’s relationships to his urban or downtown space. Wall Street stands as a central feature of the island city’s history, taking its name from a physical wall built to protect the Dutch from the British and the Indians. As a result, Wall Street served to differentiate the suburban from the urban confines of the city. Through the position of the lawyer in the Master Chancery office on Wall Street and his …

This quantitative, causal-comparative study investigated differences in perceived career barriers among women engaged in leadership development training programs and those who were not, with a specific focus on their racial backgrounds. The research targets women within the public transportation workforce, utilizing a convenience sample comprising individuals willing and able to provide insights into the issue of perceived career barriers among women in this sector. Purposive inclusion criteria encompass self-identifying as a woman, reporting ages between 25 and 65, and current employment in the public transportation sector. The Perception of Barriers Scale assessed career- and education-related barriers. The data collection procedure …
The Power And Purpose Of Intercessory Prayer: Equipping And Educating The Leaders Of Divine Providence Ministries Through An Intercessory Prayer Course, Tammanica S. Muse
The Power And Purpose Of Intercessory Prayer: Equipping And Educating The Leaders Of Divine Providence Ministries Through An Intercessory Prayer Course, Tammanica S. Muse
Doctoral Dissertations and Projects
Intercessory prayer is a selfless act where believers pray to God on behalf of others, asking for His intervention. This type of prayer is a vital part of Christian life rooted in the example of Jesus, who intercedes between God and humanity. Jesus models the role of intercessor, reconciling mankind to God through His sacrifice. Believers are called to follow this example and pray for others regularly. This DMin research project examines the issue of leaders lacking a comprehensive understanding of prayer's purpose, power, and connection to intimacy with God. It also investigates why some leaders abandon prayer when faced …
"In But Not Of": John's Theology Of Separation From The World, David E. Forbes
"In But Not Of": John's Theology Of Separation From The World, David E. Forbes
Doctoral Dissertations and Projects
John’s theology of separation from the world is an underdeveloped aspect of the perennial question of the believer’s relationship to the world. John’s view of separation leads believers to prioritize living a holy life that is influenced by an inherent distrust in the world. This perspective argues against a common assumed neutrality of the culture of the world. While the root idea of the κόσμος is “order,” John expresses that idea of order by describing the world as the kingdom of Satan. This kingdom is composed of people and their values as a unified entity that is in opposition to …

Easy As 1, 2, 3: An Analysis Of Rhythm-Counting Systems And Their Affect On Performance Accuracy In Beginner Band Students, Brendan Beiersdorfer
Doctoral Dissertations and Projects
Music educators implement rhythm-counting and syllable systems globally to guide students in rhythm interpretation and performance. These systems are often associated with music disciplines and cultural regions; however, the influence of these systems on students’ rhythmic performance accuracy is not well-documented. This quantitative, quasi-experimental study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the Traditional, Kodály, and Takadimi rhythm-counting systems on the rhythmic performance of beginner band students. The sample included students from three educational settings (n = 146), each providing instruction in one of the three rhythm-counting systems. Pre- and post-instruction assessments were administered to measure rhythmic accuracy and compare each …

Public Employees’ Retirement System Of Nevada V. Las Vegas Police Managers And Supervisors Association; And Las Vegas Peace Officers Association, 140 Nev. Advance Opinion 80. (Dec. 19, 2024), Heabin Pyo
Nevada Supreme Court Summaries
The Public Employees’ Retirement System of Nevada (PERS) is a tax-qualified defined benefit plan established by the Legislature as an independent public agency.

PERS is statutorily required to collect the increased retirement contribution rates on holiday pay for the additional holidays. In this case, the Nevada Supreme Court addressed whether the Public Employees’ Retirement System (PERS) …
Alvarez V. State Of Nevada, 140 Nev. Adv. Op. 79 (Dec. 19, 2024), Alisson Rodriguez
Alvarez V. State Of Nevada, 140 Nev. Adv. Op. 79 (Dec. 19, 2024), Alisson Rodriguez
Nevada Supreme Court Summaries
In Alvarez v. State, the court reaffirmed precedent from cases such as Jackson v. State, which established that a defendant cannot face multiple convictions for offenses that are considered mutually exclusive, when they arise under the same facts. In reversing Alvarez’s conviction for grand larceny, the court held that convicting him twice for the same incident violated the Double Jeopardy Clause. However, it upheld the trial court’s decision concerning the denial of a motion to suppress and prosecutorial misconduct during grand jury proceedings.
The Other War: The Evolution Of United States Psychological Warfare In The Vietnam War From 14 May 1965 To 11 September 1966, Brandon J. Libro
The Other War: The Evolution Of United States Psychological Warfare In The Vietnam War From 14 May 1965 To 11 September 1966, Brandon J. Libro
Masters Theses
The creation of the Joint United States Public Affairs Office (JUSPAO) on 14 May 1965 revitalized the psychological warfare (PSYWAR) campaign in Vietnam after decades of post-World War II drawdown and initiated a more targeted and efficient employment of psychological operations (PSYOP) throughout the American war effort. To understand the evolution of Vietnam-era PSYOP, it is imperative to explore the United States military’s implementation of PSYWAR and analyze how it changed throughout the conflict. The challenges the United States faced conducting the “other war” in Vietnam were evident from the start of its involvement in Vietnam, and the PSYWAR effort, …

Corporate Social Responsibility: A Tool To Ensure Environmental Protection, Natalie Blanc
Corporate Social Responsibility: A Tool To Ensure Environmental Protection, Natalie Blanc
Journal of Civil Law Studies
How does French tort law deal with environmental issues? Can it effectively do so, and how? Corporate social responsibility is one of tools developed by law in order to ensure environmental protection. Since its inception in the 70s, corporate social responsibility has undergone a transformation. From being purely voluntary, it has become mandatory. Several recent texts, including two European directives of 2022 and 2024, have imposed numerous obligations on companies in order to force them to develop a responsible and virtuous strategy, in other words, to anticipate and prevent the negative effects of their activities, particularly on the environment. This …
The Compensation Of Environmental Damage Under French Law, Bernard Haftel
The Compensation Of Environmental Damage Under French Law, Bernard Haftel
Journal of Civil Law Studies
In 2016, to combat environmental damage, the French legislature introduced a new chapter in the Civil Code governing compensation for ecological damage through civil liability. The reform consolidated previous case law by significantly modifying the interpersonal logic of civil liability. A few years on, it is time to assess the effects of this reform.
A Conflict Of Classifications: The Curious Case Of The Transfer On Death Form In Louisiana Law, Brendan Cuti
A Conflict Of Classifications: The Curious Case Of The Transfer On Death Form In Louisiana Law, Brendan Cuti
Journal of Civil Law Studies
Louisiana courts have recently struggled with whether to recognize transfer-on-death forms for securities accounts as valid. Because these forms do not comply with Louisiana’s law of will formalities, they are incapable of transferring ownership of a decedent’s securities account under Louisiana law. However, some Louisiana courts have held that a decedent can circumvent Louisiana’s rule against nonprobate transfers by including a choice-of-law clause selecting another’s state law to govern the form. Still, other Louisiana courts have held that Louisiana’s rule against nonprobate transfers is a rule of public policy that cannot be avoided with a choice-of-law clause. This paper argues …
Choice-Of-Law For Employment Contracts: A Comparative Analysis Of Texas And Louisiana Approaches To The Enforceability Of Noncompete Agreements, Claire Monsour
Choice-Of-Law For Employment Contracts: A Comparative Analysis Of Texas And Louisiana Approaches To The Enforceability Of Noncompete Agreements, Claire Monsour
Journal of Civil Law Studies
Employment contracts that cross state lines often raise complex legal issues, particularly when they involve noncompete agreements. This article examines and compares the different approaches taken by Texas and Louisiana regarding the enforceability of non-compete agreements. Texas courts exercise broad discretion in deciding whether to enforce a parties’ choice-of-law provision, often leading to inconsistent and unpredictable outcomes in noncompete disputes. This approach undermines party autonomy, incentivizes forum shopping, and allows courts to manipulate outcomes based on unclear standards of “fundamental public policy.” Louisiana courts, on the other hand, are relatively consistent in their choice-of-law analyses in noncompete disputes. In contrast …
Legal Challenges Across State Lines: A Look Into Surrogacy Law In The United States, Taylor Paige Mutavdzic
Legal Challenges Across State Lines: A Look Into Surrogacy Law In The United States, Taylor Paige Mutavdzic
Journal of Civil Law Studies
This essay analyzes the challenges arising from the fragmented legal landscape of surrogacy in the United States, where inconsistent state laws and a lack of federal oversight create significant uncertainties. Through a hypothetical case involving a same-sex couple, Sally and Jane, the study examines key issues, including the determination of parental rights, the legal status of children born through surrogacy, and protections for surrogate mothers. The essay argues for a more cohesive and transparent legal framework to address these complexities and safeguard the rights and interests of all parties involved in surrogacy arrangements.

The Civil Law And The Inner Self: Roman Iniuria And The Transformation Of The Private Sphere, Talya Deibel
The Civil Law And The Inner Self: Roman Iniuria And The Transformation Of The Private Sphere, Talya Deibel
Journal of Civil Law Studies
This paper focuses on the transhistorical nature of the protection of personality interests in the civilian tradition. It takes Roman iniuria as a key concept to analyze the legal protection of the “inner selves” of human beings. The legal framework of iniuria stands out as an illustration of how social and moral phenomena which belonged to the interior realm such as honor, dignity, emotions, and reputation carried legal value in Roman law. Starting from its origins in Roman antiquity, this paper views the inner self through the legal prism of personality protection and comments on how formative periods in history …

Nipping Crime In The Bud: The Spatial Relationship Between Crime And Meeting People’S Needs, Alicia Cerquone
Nipping Crime In The Bud: The Spatial Relationship Between Crime And Meeting People’S Needs, Alicia Cerquone
LSU Master's Theses
The recent high-profile killings of people by the police brought attention to police violence, and prompted activists to call for an end to police violence. Drawing from an understanding of strain theory (Merton, 1938; Farnworth & Leiber, 1989; Agnew, 1992; Agnew, 2001; Agnew, 2008) and Tucker and Cadora’s (2003) ideas of justice reinvestment, this research was designed with the belief that police funding can be better used to help people meet their basic needs of housing, healthcare, and education. This research is concerned with the spatial relationship between crime and the quality of social infrastructure, or the programs in place …
