High School Students' Perceptions Of Banned Books, Carissa Hennen
High School Students' Perceptions Of Banned Books, Carissa Hennen
Williams Honors College, Honors Research Projects
This research study consisted of interviews with twelve students ages 14-18 at a Northeastern Ohio high school to determine their opinions regarding banned books and content restrictions in schools. With book bans increasing and becoming a divisive topic, many adult figures such as parents, politicians, educators, and school administrators have made their opinions known, but student perspectives are often disregarded. This study seeks to further the research on opinions of book bans by extending these questions to students to fill this gap in research and gain deeper insight into the perception of high school students in regard to school curriculum. …

Considering Extended High-Frequency Audiometry As A Screening Tool For Auditory Processing Disorder, Maylee Martin
Williams Honors College, Honors Research Projects
The purpose of this research project is to describe Auditory Processing Disorder (APD) and its background and etiology, signs and symptoms, and treatment options. APD is an auditory disorder that affects the central nervous system. Individuals with auditory processing disorders are able to detect sounds at normal hearing levels and pass a standard hearing test, but struggle with higher order auditory skills such as auditory discrimination, binaural processing, including understanding in the presence of background noise, and temporal processing (ASHA, 2005). A full auditory processing test battery is time consuming, and many audiologists are not skilled in administering typical APD …

Mitigating Cyber Espionage: A Network Security Strategy Using Notifications, Claire Headland
Mitigating Cyber Espionage: A Network Security Strategy Using Notifications, Claire Headland
Williams Honors College, Honors Research Projects
Network security and its mitigation of cyber espionage is paramount to the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data within the intelligence field. With the advancing efficacy of social engineering to execute cyber espionage attacks, further measures and fail-safe mechanisms have become necessary. If a malicious actor successfully penetrates the network, suspending confidential data transmissions over the compromised network becomes crucial. However, connected users need a platform to receive security notifications and, therefore, need to know that their continued network use compromises more data. This project eliminates this by achieving two primary objectives: designing a multi- layered, hardened, and segmented network …

The dataset includes air quality measures, population, personal income, average temperature, precipitation, and vehicle registrations enabling a thorough examination of the programs’ effects. Results reveal a complex relationship. Both programs’ initiatives create a …
Cognitive Indicators Of Performance In League Of Legends Players, Emerson Fant
Cognitive Indicators Of Performance In League Of Legends Players, Emerson Fant
Williams Honors College, Honors Research Projects
This project attempts to discover the importance of several cognitive traits in esports performance, specifically League of Legends. The traits (performance indicators) measured are frustration tolerance, locus of control, self-efficacy, and intrinsic/extrinsic motivation. Participants will take several existing tests to measure each trait, as well as provide their League of Legends username(s) so that their results can be compared to their in-game performance. I hypothesize a positive relationship between League of Legends rank and frustration tolerance, internal locus of control, intrinsic motivation, and self-efficacy. I hypothesize a negative relationship between rank and external locus of control, extrinsic motivation, and frustration …

Tympanostomy Tube Efficiency Study, Reem Ghumrawi, Kristi Weir
Tympanostomy Tube Efficiency Study, Reem Ghumrawi, Kristi Weir
Williams Honors College, Honors Research Projects
The ventilation of the middle ear, crucial for maintaining optimal ear health, is often impeded by factors such as swelling, inflammation, and mucus in the eustachian tubes, particularly during upper respiratory infections or allergies. This issue, prevalent in children due to their narrow and horizontal eustachian tubes, prompts the insertion of tympanostomy tubes by ENT surgeons to establish an alternative airway for pressure equalization and fluid drainage. Despite the common belief in the effectiveness of these tubes, there is a notable dearth of research validating their optimal functionality. This study aims to address this gap by systematically comparing the efficiency …

Historicizing Same-Sex Marriage Debate In The Legal Periphery: Savigny, Nakagawa, And The Korean Marriage, Rama Hyeweon Kim
Minnesota Journal of International Law, Vols. 28:2 onward (2019-present)
Global advocates for incorporating same-sex marriage into local family laws often argue for it using universal language of rights and nondiscrimination. They also contrast progressive countries with those that are behind in this respect. This Article resists a thin comparison driven by a universalist impulse and instead engages in an exploration of “local” family law in South Korea. Using the recent Supreme Court decision that extended spousal coverage of national health insurance to same-sex couples as an entry point, this Article offers brief histories of two distinct legal ideas and developments within Korean family law, both involving a deep and …
Accounting For The Unaccountable: Does The Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act Deter Chinese Companies?, Grant Newman
Accounting For The Unaccountable: Does The Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act Deter Chinese Companies?, Grant Newman
Minnesota Journal of International Law, Vols. 28:2 onward (2019-present)
The Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act (“HFCAA” or “the Act”) threatens to prohibit trading in Chinese companies listed in the United States if the Public Certified Accounting Board (“PCAOB”) is unable to oversee their respective Chinese auditors. By assessing the limits of protection the HFCAA offers U.S. investors, this Note argues that the statute’s more fundamental objective is to deter Chinese companies from listing in the United States. Hence, this Note asks whether the HFCAA deters or will deter Chinese companies from listing or remaining listed in the United States. To answer this, this Note examines data collected by the …

Healing Prayer, L. Ann Hamel
Healing Prayer, L. Ann Hamel
Journal of Adventist Mission Studies
A major theme of both the Old and New Testaments is that of healing and restoration. The Old Testament teaches that it is God who heals (Deut 32:39; Exod 15:26), while the New Testament presents Jesus’ ministry as one of healing and restoration (Luke 4:18-19). Healing was clearly a major theme in Christ’s earthly ministry with biblical scholars reporting that approximately one fifth of gospel texts relate stories of Christ’s healing miracles. The Bible teaches that not only did Jesus heal but he gave his disciples the power and authority to heal in his name, thus empowering the church to …
Shalom: Health, Healing, And Wholeness In Biblical Perspective, Boubakar Sanou
Shalom: Health, Healing, And Wholeness In Biblical Perspective, Boubakar Sanou
Journal of Adventist Mission Studies
Health, healing, and wholeness occupy a central place within the biblical narrative, embodying God’s intent for the flourishing of the entirety of his creation. Grounded in the concept of shalom, Scripture articulates a holistic understanding of wellbeing that encompasses spiritual, physical, emotional, moral, and relational dimensions. These dimensions are interconnected, each influencing and shaping the others. In the context of an increasingly fragmented world, the biblical concept of shalom offers a firm framework for addressing the multifaceted challenges of health, healing, and wholeness. By embracing the holistic vision of health, healing, and wholeness, Christians are called to participate in God’s …
Healing The Trauma: Toward A Missiology For Contemporary Russia, Yuri N. Drumi
Healing The Trauma: Toward A Missiology For Contemporary Russia, Yuri N. Drumi
Journal of Adventist Mission Studies
This article addresses the trauma of Stalinism from the standpoint of a missiological reading of Luke 4:16-21. This programmatic sermon of Jesus at Nazareth, whose meaning is unfolded in the larger context of Luke-Acts, is of primary importance for the current Russian culture, which is suffering from the consequences of a time when its culture was warped by the forces of the demonic realm. The rationale for using Luke-Acts in a post-Soviet theology of mission and the cluster of theological theses that underlie Jesus’ program of liberation are both foundational for a missiological paradigm intended for post-totalitarian Russian society.
Ecclesiological Meaning In Jesus’ Sabbath Healings, Sven Östring
Ecclesiological Meaning In Jesus’ Sabbath Healings, Sven Östring
Journal of Adventist Mission Studies
The earthly life and ministry of Jesus Christ was the full incarnation of his divine identity and mission. However, certain events and situations became windows that allowed his relationship with his Father and his divine mission to be revealed with clarity to those around him. In particular, Jesus saw in the Sabbath a unique and regular opportunity to reveal both his identity and his mission. Likewise, his opponents understood, with almost surprising accuracy and clarity, what he was communicating about himself from his religiously non-conforming actions on Sabbath. However, this was not just a minor ethical scuffle between a well-studied …

Implementing Timothy Keller’S Center Church Principles: Transforming Your Church Into A Center Of Influence, Danie Potgieter
Implementing Timothy Keller’S Center Church Principles: Transforming Your Church Into A Center Of Influence, Danie Potgieter
Journal of Adventist Mission Studies
In contemporary religious discourse, the concept of a church transcending its traditional role as a mere congregation to become a dynamic center of influence within its community has gained significant traction. This paradigm shift, often fueled by a desire to engage with societal issues and impact lives beyond the church walls, finds resonance in Timothy Keller’s Center Church: Doing Balanced, Gospel-Centered Ministry in Your City. Grounded in theological depth and practical wisdom, Keller presents a compelling framework for transforming churches into vibrant hubs of influence capable of effecting meaningful change in the world around them.
Biblical And Theological Principles For Ministry To The Deaf And Other Isolated Groups, Joseph Jacobson
Biblical And Theological Principles For Ministry To The Deaf And Other Isolated Groups, Joseph Jacobson
Journal of Adventist Mission Studies
Deaf people are one of the largest unreached groups in the world (Lowenstein 2019, para. 2). To reach this group with the gospel, it is vital to build a solid biblical foundation for ministry to deaf individuals. The knowledge of God and the importance of faith, hope, and trust in God are often limited among deaf communities despite technological advancements (Broesterhuizen 2005:307). It is essential to show the different groups of deaf communities scattered around the world that Jesus loves them and that “the Bible is at heart a text that is positive for all marginalized people, whether poor, or …
The Healing Power Of Forgiveness, Susan Payne
The Healing Power Of Forgiveness, Susan Payne
Journal of Adventist Mission Studies
“I can never forgive him!” Angry tears rolled down her face as she spat out the words. “He lied about me in court, turned my children against me, and refuses to protect them from physical and sexual abuse! How can I forget these terrible things and excuse his behavior?” I listened as she vented her anger and frustration. Then, after the emotion was spent, I asked if I could share what I have learned about forgiveness, what it is and what it isn’t. Eventually through many tears and prayers, this woman was set free from the bitterness of her situation. …

Is There A Future For The Missiological Study Of Worldview? Part 2, Paulo C. Oliveira
Journal of Adventist Mission Studies
In Part 1 of this article, I revisited the foundational intellectual roots of the missiological worldview construct, described the concept, and presented an argument advocating for additional critical engagement in mission circles. In Part 2, the focus will be on probing the anthropological shift moving away from worldview studies, exploring some implications of this shift for missiology, and, finally, addressing—more directly—the question of the future of missiological worldview studies.

Biblical And Theological Principles For A Chaplaincy Ministry, Shelby Davidson
Biblical And Theological Principles For A Chaplaincy Ministry, Shelby Davidson
Journal of Adventist Mission Studies
The term chaplaincy does not directly appear in the Bible. However, the principles of chaplaincy are very much present in the Scriptures. Jesus, the greatest chaplain, was present in the Garden of Eden. Later, he incarnated as a human to this fallen world to be with humanity, to go through what human beings go through. A chaplain primarily is present with the people; therefore, a ministry of presence, empathy, giving wise counsel, and many other qualities describe what a chaplain is. This article looks at biblical and theological principles to guide a chaplaincy ministry from Scripture as well as from …
Mechanics And Dimensions Of Divine Forgiveness, Ransford Danson, Kenneth Appiah Kubi
Mechanics And Dimensions Of Divine Forgiveness, Ransford Danson, Kenneth Appiah Kubi
Journal of Adventist Mission Studies
Central to Christianity is the doctrine of forgiveness, yet no unified understanding or coherent concept of forgiveness exists in Christian discourse. Understandings of the process of forgiveness invariably depend on denominational traditions, beliefs, values, and practices (Worthington et al. 2019). A point of convergence is the view that forgiveness relates to the physical or psychological harm or wrongdoing inflicted by one person on another (Słowikowski 2020:56). There is also agreement that forgiveness is of different types: interpersonal, intrapersonal, and God-to-human (Fincham 2022; Maranges and Fincham 2024; Shah et al. 2024). The first two types constitute human (earthly) forgiveness, and the …
