What Are We To Make Of The Gold Plates?, Richard Lyman Bushman

BYU Studies

During the winter of 2020–2021, I worked on the manuscript that was eventually published as Joseph Smith’s Gold Plates: A Cultural History (Oxford University Press, 2023). The book was an attempt to describe the many ways the plates had been imagined from the time they were first described as a “Golden Bible” in the June 1829 Wayne Sentinel1 down to the Sunday School and missionary lessons today. I marveled at the enduring interest in the plates over time, not only among Latter-day Saints but also among other American writers. In my lifetime, the plates had appeared in the Book of …

The Alchemist, Ana Heredero Millán

Grado en Diseño de Interiores

La casa fue construida originalmente en la década de 1930 como residencia y clínica para un médico, ubicada en la planta baja con su propia puerta de entrada, separada de la entrada a la vivienda familiar. Según el arquitecto en la revista Nuevas Formas, la casa tuvo que resolver ciertas dificultades decisivas: la relación entre los servicios de la clínica y la vivienda; la forma del terreno, que era desproporcionada en anchura (15,30 metros) en comparación con su longitud (43 metros), y la pendiente longitudinal que presentaba. Debido a su reducida dimensión transversal y la necesidad de separar la …

Preserving The Future Of Juries And Jury Trials, Paula Hannaford-Agor

Faculty Publications

Amid rapid technological and social change, a new initiative explores how judges, court staff, trial lawyers, and other justice system stakeholders can preserve juries and jury trials, strengthen public trust, and remain a pillar of democracy.

In 2024, the National Center for State Courts (NCSC) launched Preserving the Future of Juries and Jury Trials, a project that built on Just Horizons’ methodological foundation of strategic foresight and its premise that data-driven public services and sociopolitical discord have the greatest potential impact on court operations. For this project, NCSC imagined how these trends would affect juries and jury trials in each …

(Sub)Sequence, Leyre Peña Cañete

Grado en Diseño de Interiores

(SUB)SEQUENCE es un proyecto que transita entre lo sensorial y lo secuencial; una experiencia espacial construida a partir del ritmo, la percepción sonora y una transformación constante. Inspirado en la figura de Héctor y su universo como DJ y productor, el espacio se organiza como una narrativa fragmentada, donde cada planta representa una etapa emocional y física del recorrido: desde el Kaos inicial, pasando por el Nearest Exit como transición, hasta desembocar en el vacío de Oaks. La arquitectura se convierte así en una fusión entre club, retiro y estudio: un sistema vivo en el que los límites entre lo …

Habitar El Vacío, Nur Puerta Bakour

Grado en Diseño de Interiores

The way of life that sculptor and writer Assem Al-Basha follows in his everyday routine is the foundation of the interior design of this residence and workshop, and what makes it so unique. His daily rhythm, from waking up at five in the morning to read and catch up on news, especially from the Middle East, to the long hours spent working in the studio (interrupted only by a short nap), and his deep fascination with the garden and the quiet observation of time passing; were the very first clues that made me understand how the space needed to be …

El proyecto abordará la reorganización de …

Muddica, Mercedes Muñoz De Bustillo Morote

Grado en Diseño de Interiores

Nuestra vivienda, ubicada en la ya conocida Colonia Parque Residencia, entra en un contexto poco común, un barrio diseñado para ser residencial, a escala humana. Además, destacan edificios importantes próximos como El Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales, El Instituto-Escuela, en la calle Serrano, o la Residencia de estudiantes de la calle Pinar, a la que se le añadieron el Auditorio y la Biblioteca entre 1931 y 1933. Se trata por tanto, de una zona destinada a viviendas pero con un entorno cultural y educativo importante en la época. Por otro lado, conocemos que la casa sometida a estudio se encuentra …

Learning Dissemination Strategies: Lessons From The Covid-19 Pandemic In Training Healthcare Professionals In Disease Management, Kishan Vishanagra

This study conducts a systematic review of 37 studies to examine the learning dissemination methods created and utilized during the COVID-19 pandemic, focusing on just-in-time training for disease management. This study identifies four core training topics: airway management, infection control, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and patient triage. This study also categorizes delivery methods into in-situ simulation-based training, online e-learning platforms, online simulation-based training, and hybrid training models. Findings highlight that simulation-based training methods proved effective for invasive high-risk procedures, while …

Reconciling Theory And Praxis. Defending Subjective Agency Against Althusser's Structuralism - Daniel Guerrero, Daniel Guerrero

Honors Undergraduate Theses

Louis Althusser labels Marx’s early works as humanist, pseudo-materialist, and self-contained within the ideology of German idealism. Therefore, all attempts to develop a Marxist theory based on these works are futile and ideological. Instead, Althusser proposes a ‘scientific’ reading of Marx developing a structuralist theory based on dialectical materialism. I argue that his interpretations deny individual agency and reduce social relations to mechanistic processes, which directly conflicts with fundamental Marxist ideas like alienation, production, and species-being. By discussing authors within the Marxist Humanist tradition, I argue that a theoretical framework based on Marx’s early works is not only possible, but …

Community Music, Counter-Stories, And Social Inequality In Central Florida's Music Spaces, Katia Destine

Honors Undergraduate Theses

Black working-class musicians have shaped American popular culture for centuries. Despite their contributions, they have faced decades of marginalization and exploitation by record companies, executives, and consumers. While systems of exploitation affect musicians of all backgrounds, Black working-class musicians are in a double bind, susceptible to both economic and social exploitation. Musicians who live within the subdominant groups of race, gender, and class frequently face obstacles that place them at a disadvantage. Through semi-structured interviews, the research draws on the lived experiences of Black working-class musicians in Central Florida. I argue that community music serves as a vital resource, offering …

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Cultural Stigma, And Identity Distress Among College Students, Jessica T. Frank

Honors Undergraduate Theses

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships among attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), cultural stigma, and identity in a sample of college-age students. Previous studies have primarily focused on children, yet few have examined ADHD as it persists into adulthood. Likewise, studies examining cultural stigma and identity were limited and primarily examined stigma toward mental health as a general concept rather than ADHD-specific attitudes. To address these disparities, a sample of undergraduate college students enrolled in psychology courses at a large metropolitan university (N = 339) were recruited and took an anonymous online survey in exchange for course …

What Factors Improve Police Legitimacy?, Nyomi Powers

Honors Undergraduate Theses

Legitimacy in law enforcement can be defined as the perception of the police as an appropriate and respected source of power and authority. United States law enforcement is facing a legitimacy crisis stemming from a growing distrust in the police and decreased police community relationships. In order to address this problem, solutions are being sought in both police agencies and by researchers in the field. This systematic review aims to compile all relevant experiments and analyze the findings to create a comprehensive list of policy implications that most effectively improve police legitimacy. For experiments to be included in this review, …

Adverse Childhood Experiences And Working Memory, Lake Miller

Honors Undergraduate Theses

Extensive research has shown that adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), such as sexual abuse, poverty, physical abuse, emotional abuse and neglect, can negatively impact an individual’s development. The presence of ACEs has also been linked to an increase in one’s engagement in risky behavior, dropping out of school, unemployment before the age of 21, and a variety of health issues. Currently, there is a gap in literature regarding the performance of different working memory (WM) tasks and the presence of ACEs. This study focuses on filling this gap in literature by measuring participants’ Philadelphia ACE score, which is a 16-item questionnaire, …

A Nurse-Led Transitional Care Intervention To Prevent Readmissions In A Low-Income-Serving Urban U.S. Hospital, Melissa Scollan-Koliopoulos

Nursing Faculty Publications

Background: Diabetes-related hospital readmissions within 30-days are costly and an indicator of suboptimal care resolution. Nurse-led transitional care interventions may improve glucose control and reduce emergency department recidivism following hospital discharge in very low-income populations.

Methods: An intention-to-treat design with randomization of participants (n = 108) compared conventional care to transitional care coordination that included diabetes specialty appointments, monthly support tele-phone calls, medication management, and tailored diabetes self-management education. Both the control and intervention group received a diabetes specialist and primary care appointment.

Results: There was a significant difference between the control and intervention groups (P = 0.018) from base-line …

Climate Change And Constitutional Overreach, Jonathan H. Adler

Faculty Publications

The failure of the political process to produce meaningful climate mitigation policies has encouraged activists to pursues aggressive and innovative litigation strategies. An increasing number of climate-related lawsuits seek to control greenhouse gas emissions, impose liability on fossil fuel producers, or otherwise force greater action on climate change. In many of these cases, litigants have made aggressive constitutional claims that stretch the bounds of existing constitutional doctrine and threaten to entrench climate policies outside of the traditional political process. This Article critically assesses some of the constitutional arguments made in climate cases, including Massachusetts v. EPA and Juliana v. U.S. …
