The Flute Music Of Claude Arrieu: Jean-Pierre Rampal, Radio, And The French Flute School, Breanna Daley

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The flute works of Claude Arrieu (1903-1990) are relatively unknown, as is Arrieu herself. A composer active throughout the twentieth century and a radio producer in Paris during the 1930s and 1940s, Arrieu and her music are now often lost amongst the more popular works of her French contemporaries. Her compositional output, which includes music written for traditional concerts and over seventy scores for radio and film, displays her ease in navigating the early twentieth century’s changing mediums of music performance. Arrieu composed several pieces for solo flute with piano or orchestra, including the Sonatine for Flute and Piano (1943) …

The Relationship Between Music Educators And Stress, Sarah Plain

Williams Honors College, Honors Research Projects

The goal of this project is to gather information from currently practicing music educators in a range of specialties about the relationship between their working lives and personal lives. Does their working life affect them at a level where they cannot decompress? Do they have a healthy relationship with their career and manage their workload well? Information will be gathered about the conditions surrounding educators to gather context for why they have the work-life balance they have described. After measuring and reporting how music educators are balancing their careers against their personal lives, potential solutions will be described to help …

Simply Butter (One Pat At A Time), Maddie Mcsweeney

Williams Honors College, Honors Research Projects

Simply Butter (one pat at a time) is an investigation of food and intimacy through sculpture, installation, performance, printmaking, and recordkeeping. In this series of Happenings, I explore themes of love, loss, and empathy while dealing with emotions related to grief and mental health issues. I look to cultural phenomena and art history figures who are concerned with similar sentiments to make conceptual connections and inform my choices when creating this project. Drawn to silliness and the absurd, I use the rudimentary yet familiar form of a stick of butter to act as a monolithic stand-in for the emotionally, mentally, …

Ai & Antitrust: The Algorithm Made Me Do It, Robin Feldman, Caroline Yuen

Faculty Scholarship

As the dawn of artificial intelligence (“AI”) rises rapidly, competition authorities should contemplate the potential for hazy days ahead. Undoubtedly, AI’s already ubiquitous presence offers exciting possibilities, from enhancing efficiency, to leveling the playing field for non-native speakers,to enabling scientific discovery.Despite these breathtaking advancements, however, recent data from the Pew Research Center reveal that only 15% of adults surveyed were “more excited than concerned about the increasing use of AI in daily life,” with 46% expressing “an equal mix of concern and excitement.”

Policymakers also manifest concerns about AI, exemplified by the extent to which government actors are racing to …

Delivering Multidisciplinary Rehabilitation Care In Parkinson's Disease: An International Consensus Statement, Jennifer G Goldman, Daniele Volpe, Terry D Ellis, Mark A Hirsch, Julia Johnson, Julia Wood, Ana Aragon, Roberta Biundo, Alessandro Di Rocco, Glenn S Kasman, Robert Iansek, Janis Miyasaki, Victor M Mcconvey, Marten Munneke, Serge Pinto, Karen A St Clair, Santiago Toledo, Michele K York, Ronnie Todaro, Nicole Yarab, Kristin Wallock

Faculty, Staff and Students Publications

BACKGROUND: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a complex neurodegenerative disorder impacting everyday function and quality of life. Rehabilitation plays a crucial role in improving symptoms, function, and quality of life and reducing disability, particularly given the lack of disease-modifying agents and limitations of medications and surgical therapies. However, rehabilitative care is under-recognized and under-utilized in PD and often only utilized in later disease stages, despite research and guidelines demonstrating its positive effects. Currently, there is a lack of consensus regarding fundamental topics related to rehabilitative services in PD.

OBJECTIVE: The goal of the international Parkinson's Foundation Rehabilitation Medicine Task Force was …

The Geoeconomics Of Belt And Road Disputes: A Case Study On The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, Mark Mclaughlin

Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law

This article argues that the dovetailing economic, geopolitical, and security interests that underpin the Belt and Road Initiative demands a dispute resolution mechanism that focuses on broader interests and legal rights. Using the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) as a case study, it identifies the conditions in which Chinese investors could have initiated an investment arbitration but did not. This can be explained by the rights-based orientation of investment treaties failing to reflect the interests of multi-project initiatives. Instead, alternative methods of home state intervention, such as state-funded political risk insurance, are used to protect investors. In other words, the political …

Assessing The Utilization Of Glazing Types And Alternatives In Office Buildings To Reduce Energy Consumption And Carbon Emissions, Eman Badawy Ahmed

Mansoura Engineering Journal

According to Egypt's Vision 2030 and the recommendations of the Climate Conference, Cop 27, Egypt seeks to reduce energy consumption and emissions, especially carbon, by calculating the carbon footprint and moving towards issuing carbon certificates.
The elements of the building envelope have a strong impact on energy consumption and carbon emissions. Glass is one of the most influential elements. Therefore, it is necessary to study the effect of glassing on energy consumption.
The study aims to evaluate the use of glazing types and their alternatives to reduce energy and carbon consumption in administrative buildings by developing an estimation approach for …

Coping With Creativity - The Relationship Between Depression/Anxiety And Creative Coping In College-Aged Students, Nelly M. Dragu

Honors Undergraduate Theses

The relationship between creativity and mental illness has been established in the literature. There are multiple possible explanations for how mental illness and creativity are connected, and creativity has shown to be an effective treatment for different mental illnesses (for example, through art therapy). Despite this, there is limited research on which creative activities those with mental illnesses naturally use to cope. Information on the type of creative coping that the mentally ill naturally gravitate to and find most effective can further inform possible treatment plans and suggestions. This study aims to address gaps in the literature concerning how college-aged …

Micro International Law, Katrin Kuhlmann

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

International law has long been viewed as the domain of countries and capitals, not fields or factories, but this overly top-down perspective misses a critical and under-studied dimension. Underneath the macro level of international agreements and standardized legal approaches and norms, international law is much more nuanced, with multiple sources of influence, production, design, adoption, and decision-making, which need to be more systemically recognized and compared in both scholarship and practice. Models stemming from legal systems in less powerful states, smaller-scale stakeholder interests, and local solutions are often treated as one-off anecdotes or isolated case studies without broader implications. Cataloging …

A Delicate Matter: The Madhouses Of The South West Of England, 1770 – 1851, Emma Barrett

School of Law, Humanities and Social Sciences Theses

This thesis examines the private madhouses of Somerset, Dorset, Devon, and Wiltshire during a period of great transition within the existing lunacy care landscape. Many madhouses pre-dated county asylums in provision for the pauper mentally ill, including in the south west. Madhouses operated as an enterprise, unlike the parish overseen county asylums. This led to a lack of regulations in care. The Lunacy Commission was formed as part of the 1828 Madhouse Act. This led to a series of inspections of all asylums throughout England for the first time. At this time, Devon and Somerset had disproportionally high rates of …

The Pragmatic Dimension of Musical Maqamat in the Play "Mais Alreem"

In this research, we adopted pragmatics as an ideal model to analyze the musical modal shifts in the play Mais El Reem by the Rahbani brothers, where music plays a central role in expressing the progression of events and shifts in situations within the theatrical work. The research aims to understand the impact of musical modes in guiding the emotions of characters and audience engagement through their alignment with the dramatic narrative and adaptation to changing events. The research problem stems from the scarcity of studies that address theater …

The Sixth Warfighting Domain?: Governing The Space-Cyber Nexus, Eytan Tepper, Scott Shackelford, James B. Romano, Sergei Dmitriachev

Georgia Law Review

This Article reviews the recent emergence of the space-cyber nexus as a distinct warfighting domain, solidified during the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and analyzes the (missing?) laws of space-cyber warfare. The Article further suggests a roadmap for the development of norms and rules under the constraints of contemporary geopolitics and difficulties in multilateral rulemaking. As space-based infrastructure became critical to modern militaries and economies, it has, as a result, become a prime target. While only four countries possess antisatellite missiles (United States, Russia, China, and India), cyberattacks require much less in terms of funds and technological sophistication and can also …

Embody, Lillian Luna Bennett

Graduate Student Theses, Dissertations, & Professional Papers

In this paper I will discuss my studio process, material, content and context as it relates to each piece or installation in my thesis exhibition, Embody. My work explores and reacts to the effects that the current political climate has on our physical bodies and identity. I investigate value systems that are embedded into America’s visual language. Often morphing into ruins and relics of an old world while simultaneously being grafted onto contemporary culture. Through large scale textile sculpture, I explore one of my main themes: melding classical architectural motifs that America has adopted, with contemporary textile techniques and material …

Reimagining The Accuracy Of The Lovejoy Et Al. (1985) Age Estimation Method Of The Auricular Surface Of The Ilium Through Modern Color Photographs, Alyssa L. Edwards

Graduate Student Theses, Dissertations, & Professional Papers

The ability to accurately estimate the age at time-of-death of an individual is crucial in numerous fields, particularly in a biological or forensic context. There are various methods, features, and bones that are utilized for determining the estimated age of an individual. This study dives into the Lovejoy et al. (1985) age estimation method of the auricular surface of the ilium by using the current age phase descriptions against different reference photos. The study tests whether updated color photos, when working collaboratively with the current age phase descriptions, increases the age estimation accuracy when estimating age based on the auricular …

A Proposed Innovative Learning Spaces For A State University Library In The Philippines, Delna Liwaden-Galut, David A. Cabonero

Library Philosophy and Practice (e-journal)

The library plays a significant role in providing a welcoming, inviting, and appealing library environment to attract learners to use its resources and services. Consequently, the learning preferences of learners prompted the shift from information commons to learning commons in higher education. With an emphasis on the social dimensions of learning, the learning space represents a transformative change that extends beyond the reach of the traditional library. The library can maximize the learners' potential by making it truly an extension of the classroom. This research is guided by the following research questions: 1. What are the teachers’ and librarians’ perceived …

Robotics And Artificial Intelligence In Libraries, Prince Chibuzor Eke, Nkechi Mercy Egesimba, Nnam Mills Ezebuike

Library Philosophy and Practice (e-journal)

This research was borne out of the desire to discover the robotics and artificial intelligence technology which is rapidly spreading in libraries as modern tools for innovation. Conventionally, robotics and artificial intelligence involves programming computers to do things which if done by humans, would say to require intelligence. The application of robotics and artificial intelligence in library has become pervasive. They include expert systems for reference services, book reading and shelf-reading robots, virtually reality for immersive learning among others. Meanwhile, the incorporation of robotics and artificial intelligence in libraries can be perceived to alienate librarians from their users, it will …

Clinical Study Of Combined Arthroscopic Drilling And Platelet Rich Plasma Injection In Knee Osteochondral Lesions In Middle-Aged Patients, Mohamed Salah Labib Mohamed, Mohamed Abd Elmoneam Gafar

Journal of Medicine in Scientific Research

Background: Osteochondral lesions commonly occur in the knee joints and causes detrimental effects on the quality of life. Arthroscopic drilling is the treatment option for mild to moderate lesions. However, it is debatable whether regenerated cartilage from arthroscopic drilling surgery is durable. It is speculated that induction of chondrocyte differentiation from subchondral mesenchymal stem cells is facilitated by platelet-rich plasma (PRP), which is a rich source of diverse growth factors.

Aim of work: To evaluate the procedures of combined arthroscopic drilling and PRP injection intra-articularly for mild to moderate knee osteochondral lesions management.

Patients and Methods: This randomized prospective study …

Journal of Medicine in Scientific Research

Background: Surgery for Acute Ascending Aortic Dissection (AAAD) is often complicated by severe perioperative coagulopathy and critical bleeding. Mediastinal packing is a widely recognised technique used to manage and control this complication. This retrospective study aims to analyze early outcomes and potential risk factors for patients subjected to mediastinal packing after AAAD surgery.

Methods: 352 consecutive patients who had undergone acute ascending aortic dissection (AAAD) surgery were studied at the National Heart Institution between February 2014 and Mars 2023. These patients were divided into two groups: the mediastinal packing with delayed closure group (n = 53; 15.05%) and …

Is The Women's Treaty A Paper Tiger? Indian Courts' Application Of The United Nations Treaty, Amanda L. Stephens

Faculty Articles

This Article examines whether the United Nations ("U.N.") Treaty, the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women ("CEDAW'), is a "paper tiger"-a law that seems powerful but is in fact weak and ineffectual. While some scholars question the Treaty's effectiveness based on statistical studies, others point to legal reforms in state parties as evidence of its success. Neither provides a nuanced middle ground by examining the CEDAW at a micro rather than a macro level. This Article fills this gap by conducting a qualitative analysis of 10 Indian judicial opinions. Specifically, the Article explores how the …
