Journal of Roleplaying Studies and STEAM

Resumen: La ponderación planteada en los siguientes párrafos centra su interés en las plataformas digitales de narrativa audiovisual donde los participantes pueden alterar y determinar el relato por medio de la interacción social sucedida en el mismo, concretamente, los videojuegos multijugador masivos de rol en línea en servidores emulados. Además, se abordan las implicaciones de la desaparición potencial y real de la información, datos, testimonios y vestigios de estas comunidades digitales participativas a causa de la naturaleza falible de los dispositivos de almacenaje electrónico. De esa forma, se busca plantear un breve panorama general de los antecedentes históricos de las …

‘I Know You May Have Heard This Story But …’: A Study Of Tense Shift As A Resource For Identity Construction, Dr. Shatha N. Qaiwer

Midad AL-Adab Refereed Quarterly Journal

This study focuses on tense variation as linguistic features of narrative performance using Schiffrin’s (1981) theory of tense variation supported by Labov’s (1972) and Ochs and Cap’s (2001) frameworks of narrative structure. It shows that historical present also performs evaluative function and appears in restricted clauses in progressive aspect indicating the overlap on time between two actions. Shifts into narrative past tense also perform an evaluative function and appears in contexts narrating unexpected event within the complication. Generic and nominalising actions are used to express negative evaluation of an opponent based on an earlier premise. These findings can bring new …

سكان جبال شمال العراق وإنتشارهم المكاني الأكراد إنموذجاً دراسة جغرافية- إثنولوجية- إثنوغرافية, أ.د. عباس فاضل السعدي

Midad AL-Adab Refereed Quarterly Journal

إتصف سكان العراق بتعدد سلالات أُصوله البشرية وأنه يعد متحفا إنثروبولوجيا وإثنولوجيا وإثنوغرافيا لتلك الجماعات ، وبخاصةً في شماله الجبلي الذي كان يعد معبراً لها. وقد ركزت هذه الدراسة على الأكراد كإنموذج له. أما إشكالية الدراسة فقد تمثلت بعدة تساؤلات: ماهي خصائص المجتمع الكردي؟ وما هو أصل الأكراد؟ ومن أين جاؤا وإلى أين إتجهوا ؟ وهل أنهم متجانسين جينيا؟ً وما هي مناطق توزعهم في شمال العراق الجبلي ؟ وطبقت الدراسة منهج الوصف الجغرافي والتحليل المكاني.. وحول أُصول الأكراد تختلف الآراء ، وتؤكد نظرية )مينورسكي( على أنهم أحفاد الميديين. ويقترب رأيه بما يراه )باسيلي نيكيتين( بقوله أن الأكراد ليسوا من السكان …

العشوائيات في مدينة السماوة واثارها الاجتماعية, م. م احمد حامد البركي, م. م هدى عيدان جبار الربيعي

Midad AL-Adab Refereed Quarterly Journal

شغل موضوع العشوائيات في المدن الع ا رقية العديد من الباحثين في الأنثروبولوجيا وعلم الاجتماع والاختصاصات الأخرى كونه حالة جديدة في المجتمع الع ا رقي المعاصر، كما برزت أهمية ذلك نظ ا رً للتداعيات التي يتركها السكن العشوائي على الساكنين من جهة وعلى تنظيم المدينة وما يفرزه من ظواهر سلوكية ومشكلات اجتماعية على المجتمع الحضري من جهة أخرى ، و اوجهت مدينة السماوة هذه المشكلة شأنها شأن باقي المدن الع ا رقية، بسبب تضافر عوامل عديدة اذ ساهمت الظروف المناخية كالجفاف وانخفاض معدلات سقوط الامطار في السنوات القليلة الماضية في نزوح السكان الى داخل المدن من المناطق البدوية والريفية للاستق …

دراسة العشوائيات في مراكز مدن الانبار باستخدام التقنيات الجيومكانية وستراتيجية المعالجة - مدينة الفلوجة (دراسة حالة), أ.م.د. ثائر شاكر بطاح, د.مشتاق احمد غربي

Midad AL-Adab Refereed Quarterly Journal

اصبحت ظاهرة النمو العشوائي للتجمعات السكنية في مدن محافظة الانبار من المشاكل العمرانية، لذوى الدخل المنخفض، بالأراضي المفتوحة (الفضاء) داخل التجمعات السكنية بالمدينة وكذلك المناطق المجاورة والمتطرفة خارجها على تقسيمات أراضي غير معتمدة للسكن وغير مدرجة في خطط الدولة المستقبلية، فهي تفتقر للمرافق والخدمات الأساسية للسكان، و بعيدة عن اهتمام الدولة وعن الإحصاءات الرسمية، وغير مستوفاة للشروط الصحية ولا تطابق قوانين المباني، منذ الفترة التي سبقت عام ٢٠٠٣ ، ونتيجة تراكم مجموعة من الاسباب ذات علاقة بمشكلة السكن، منها ضعف دور الأجهزة التنفيذية الحكومية (البلديات والقائممقاميات) في منع حدوث التجاوزات أو إزالتها، وارتفاع الكثافة السكنية في بيوت المدينة وزيادة النمو …

جدلية العلاقة بين المنهج العلمي والدراسات الإنسانية المفاهيم والتأثير, د. أحمد عبد الجبار فاضل

Midad AL-Adab Refereed Quarterly Journal

ويعد أول ظهور للعلوم الإنسانية في القرن التاسع عشر كمحاولة للتخلص من شمولية الفلسفة لكل تلك العلوم، ولذلك اختصت العلوم الإنسانية بتناول دراسة الذات الإنسانية وأنشطتها في صورها المختلفة، ويتم ذلك عبر عدة علوم مكونة للعلوم الإنسانية هي :

• الدراسات الدينية، علم الآثار، ثقافات الشعوب الإقليمية، الأدب والنقد، علم الاجتماع، الموسيقى، علم الأنثروبولوجيا، دراسات الفلسفة، التاريخ، تاريخ الفن ونظرياته. وتعد علوم اللغة ومنها الادب والنقد، من اكثر العلوم الانسانية تأثرا بظهور المنهج العلمي في الدراسة والبحث . ومن هذا المنطلق يحاول هذا البحث مقاربة هذه القضية الاشكالية، وفق رؤية وصفية تحليلية تاريخية. إن اول مشكل يواجه البحث يتمثل في …

Moving Beyond Gender Bias, Mariam Ayad

Faculty Book Chapters

"There has been considerable scholarship in the last fifty years on the role of ancient Egyptian women in society. With their ability to work outside the home, inherit and dispense of property, initiate divorce, testify in court, and serve in local government, Egyptian women exercised more legal rights and economic independence than their counterparts throughout antiquity. Yet, their agency and autonomy are often downplayed, undermined, or outright ignored. In Women in Ancient Egypt, twenty-four international scholars offer a corrective to this view by presenting the latest cutting-edge research on women and gender in ancient Egypt. Covering the entirety of Egyptian …

Reclaiming Justice From Below: Victim Participation And Reparations In Post-Conflict Peru, Fiorella P. Vera-Adrianzen

Political Science ETDs

Since 2007, Peru’s Plan Integral de Reparaciones (PIR, Comprehensive Reparations Plan) has provided material, symbolic, individual, and collective reparations to victims of the civil conflict (1980-2000). Important differences in the implementation of reparations have emerged across time and space. Previous studies have examined factors conditioning the adoption and the effects of reparative justice, generally at the national level. How reparative processes unfold on the ground from design to implementation remains underexplored. Drawing upon original interviews, focus groups, participant observation, and archival research in three highly affected Andean regions (Apurímac, Junín, and Ayacucho) and in the capital city, Lima, I examine …

Combining Isotopic And Genetic Analyses To Quantify Microbial Facilitation Of Recalcitrant Resource Use By Terrestrial And Aquatic Consumers, Alexi Christina Besser

Biology ETDs

Quantifying the flow of energy and nutrients through food webs is foundational to understanding the structure and function of ecosystems. Here, I utilize the stable carbon and nitrogen isotope analysis of individual amino acids to trace the movement of essential amino acids through terrestrial and freshwater food webs in New Mexico, USA. I first explore isotopic patterns among co-occurring terrestrial plants and aquatic algae. I then combine this molecular isotopic approach with 16S and 18S rRNA sequencing to demonstrate the importance of gut microbiota as sources of essential amino acids to wild mammalian hosts. Next, I explore the roles of …

Status Seeking In Conspicuous Spectator Sports Consumption: A Self-Determination Theory Perspective, Yong Wang

Health, Exercise, and Sports Sciences ETDs

According to self-determination theory, people are intrinsically and/or extrinsically motivated to self-regulate their behavior (Deci & Ryan, 2012). Sport fans watch games for intrinsic rewards such as having fun and supporting a team, which, from the identity fusion perspective (Swann Jr et al., 2009), derive from their visceral sense of oneness with a team. Although they can choose to watch games at home, many fans spend money attending expensive games (e.g., major sports) and publicly display their experience. A plethora of sport management literature has addressed the intrinsic motivation for attending games; however, less attention has been paid to the …

The Dance Of Domesticity: How Gender Constructs Obscure Lived Experience At Museums, Marcy J. Botwick

Museum Studies Theses

My thesis focuses on Mary Shepard Greene Blumenschein and Ernest L. Blumenschein, married artists born in the late 1860s. Ernest Blumenschein was an important regional artist and member of the Taos Society of Artists (TSA). Paintings by Blumenschein and other TSA members promoted tourism in the Southwestern United States through annual exhibitions and their use in advertising the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway (AT&SF). Mary Greene Blumenschein was an award-winning painter and illustrator whose work focused on images of women at the beginning of the twentieth century, however, she is now a secondary and obscure figure in art history. …

In Vitro Liquid Culture Of The Mollusc-Parasitic Nematode Phasmarhabditis (Rhabditida: Rhabditidae), A. Pieterse, S. Haukeland, V. Půža, J. L. Ross, A. P. Malan

All Peer-Reviewed Publications

The success of the mollusc-parasitic nematode, Phasmarhabditis hermaphrodita (Schneider) Andrássy (Rhabditida: Rhabditidae), as a biological control agent in Europe has led to worldwide interest in phasmarhabditids as biocontrol agents. In this study, the mass culture potential of three phasmarhabditids, namely Phasmarhabditis papillosa, Phasmarhabditis kenyaensis and Phasmarhabditis bohemica, was assessed. In addition, ten bacterial candidates, consisting of seven associated with slugs and three associated with entomopathogenic nematodes, were investigated. The bacteria were tested for their ability to cause mortality to Deroceras invadens, as well as to support nematode growth. Initial mortality studies demonstrated that Kluyvera, Aeromonas and Pseudomonas spp. (AP3) caused …

The Conquest Of Milk: The Rise Of Lactase Persistence And The Fall Of Scandinavian Hunter-Gatherers, Nicholas Mays

James Madison Undergraduate Research Journal (JMURJ)

Over half of the global human population suffers from lactase nonpersistence, a condition marked by losing the ability to digest lactose after infancy. However, a minority of the global population, primarily located in Central and Northern Europe, has a genetic mutation that results in lactase persistence, which is the continued ability to process lactose after infancy. This interdisciplinary analysis blends archaeology, cultural anthropology, evolutionary biology, and archaeogenetics to explore the origin and rise of lactase persistence in Europe and its contribution to the end of hunter-gatherer societies in Scandinavia. Furthermore, the paper uses gene-culture coevolutionary theory to argue that lactase …

Bridging The Divide: Connecting Urban And Rural Care Through The Right! From The Start Initiative, Tess Lefmann, Sannie Snell, Mobolaji E. Famuyide, Sushmitha Inguva, John J. Green

Journal of Rural Social Sciences

Disparities in health and barriers to healthcare are prominent in rural areas, particularly in the Delta region of Mississippi where high rates of premature births, infant mortality, low weight births, and maternal mortality exacerbate the dearth of access to care. Extending the reach of healthcare providers and services between urban and rural areas is of utmost importance in improving the landscape of maternal and child health. Community health workers (CHWs), trusted individuals in the community, play a valuable role in this through social support. This research note delineates the importance of community health workers as connectors in establishing a trusted …

Studies Of Roseau Cane Dieback In The Lower Mississippi River Delta Based On Remote Sensing Data Including Landsat, Worldview, And Drone, Nan Shang

LSU Doctoral Dissertations

This research focused on the Roseau cane (Phragmites australis) dieback assessment in the lower MRD of Louisiana and introduced a comprehensive and systematic multi-source remote sensing method for assessing wetland and Roseau cane dieback and habitat dynamics analysis from three scale levels from large-scale to small scale.

Large-scale historical vegetation/land change analyses were conducted in the lower MRD based on Landsat in the past two decades (2001 - 2021). A strong increasing trend of vegetation was found since 2005. Around 51 km² ofdieback area was detected which accounts for 11% of the overall vegetation coverage. This research …

Perhaps Discomfort Is The Answer: Refusing Liberal Feminism And Imperial Cartographies Of Thinking/Feeling, Saida Hodzic

Wagadu: A Journal of Transnational Women's & Gender Studies

The Twilight of Cutting: African Activism and Life after NGOs is an unsettling feminist ethnography that traces the movements of three objects: the endings of female genital cutting in Ghana, their relationship to anti-cutting campaigns and the forms of governance they instantiate, and the role anthropology and feminism have played in this governance since colonial rule. It makes the case that the three objects must be studied together: namely, that we need to understand the practice of female genital cutting alongside its endings; that cutting does not exist outside of anti-cutting campaigns; and that anti-cutting campaigns are entangled with both …

Policing For Peace: Training For A 21st Century Police Force, Kate M. Den Houter, Margaret E. Brooks

Personnel Assessment and Decisions

We review the present state of research on police training in the United States, highlighting gaps in the literature, and limitations of trainings in use by local policing agencies. We focus on training content relevant to the volatile situations that are at the center of controversy, we evaluate content areas that focus on successfully navigating real-time, unpredictable, and potentially dangerous interactions, and discuss training needs in these areas. We suggest that one common response to the issue of bias—implicit bias training—lacks evidence of efficacy. Accordingly, we recommend alternative training content to address bias and discrimination. Finally, we call attention to …

Polyphonic Spectatorship, Creative Cartography, & Post-Cinematic Refractions In The Age Of Neo-Liberal Travel, Niko Doezema

Shared Knowledge Conference

Today, the most visible and popular form of travel "literature" is the "travel-vlog", an amorphous category which can pertain to any first-person, audio-visual exploration of place. YouTube is awash in travelers from every conceivable place documenting their adventures in every conceivable destination, and their content is disseminated instantaneously and simultaneously through the ever present yet intangible and amorphous conduit of the internet. My thesis consists of a three-fold investigation into the nature of this genre, the first two branches of which are genealogical and diagnostic, the third of which is speculative and potentially transformative. Having established a historical and technological …

Shifting Paradigms, Pandemic Realities: The Reception Of Ishay Ribo’S Music In The American Hasidic Community, Tzipora Weinberg, Gordon Dale

Yale Journal of Music & Religion

The COVID-19 pandemic has irrevocably changed the landscape of social, communal, and religious life. Within the Jewish community, reactions to the virus have taken many forms. One of the most visible and criticized populations, the Hasidic community of Brooklyn, has been the focus of attention from the media and press, and has responded in unprecedented ways, both in political and social arenas. Our close study of the evolution of a particular instance of atypical musical permissiveness in the period preceding COVID-19, and its subsequent development during the pandemic period itself, follows this metamorphosis, limning the shift in communal norms as …

The Vine Street Irregulars: A Chronicle Of Graduate Student Life And Politics At The University Of Nebraska-Lincoln 1975–1976, Michael R. Hill

Zea E-Books Collection

The memories recalled in the twenty-seven essays in the volume are anchored in sometimes intense and sometimes admittedly naive graduate student experiences at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln during the 1970’s. Master’s degree in hand, I returned to graduate study at Nebraska in 1972 after four years in the military, benefitting not only from the G.I. Bill, but also from a National Defense Education Act Fellowship. I was increasingly wise to the ways of administrative bureaucrats who were sometimes enlightened, sometimes punitive, draconian, and exploitive, or — far more often — simply moribund. As adult students, we wanted fair play and …
