Color, Power, And Meaning, Xin Zhang Jan 2024

Color, Power, And Meaning, Xin Zhang

Theses & ETDs

Through a comprehensive analysis of historical texts, artistic artifacts, and contemporary interpretations, this thesis examines the multifaceted role of color as a symbol of power, a carrier of meaning, and a reflection of cultural identity. It explores the philosophical basis of color in Chinese thought, primarily through the perspective of the Yin-Yang theory and its impact on understanding the historical evolution of color symbolism in Chinese culture; it also introduces the norms for the use of color in clothing in the history, seeking to reveal the complex relationship between color, power, and meaning in Chinese culture and highlighting its significant …


Effects Of American Colonialism On The Hawaiian Islands, Sydney Lingenfelser Jan 2024

Effects Of American Colonialism On The Hawaiian Islands, Sydney Lingenfelser

Theses & ETDs

In this Thesis I will discuss the Environmental and Cultural Effects of the colonization by the United States on the Hawaiian Islands. By reviewing large industries such as the Military and Tourism industries, I examine the rules and laws set in place since the “discovery” of the Hawaiian Islands in 1778 that led to a change in the culture and lifestyle of Hawai’i. Actions such as land privatization led to massive areas of land to be developed for both military and tourism purposes which led to massive development of infrastructure and in turn, a loss of biodiversity and native life. …

Do Babies Learn From Interactive Baby Media?, Alyssa Palmatier Jan 2024

Do Babies Learn From Interactive Baby Media?, Alyssa Palmatier

Theses & ETDs

Children in modern society are exposed to media every day, and there is little to be done in regards to limits or screen time. Two types of videos were created and given to children between 17-24 months in order to examine the context of interaction in media and determine whether they were able to learn more novel words from interactive media than they were able to learn from non-interactive media. All participants learned between four and nine of the ten novel words they were taught via the media. Results found that the context of interaction in media did not predict …


You Can’T Judge A Book By Its Cover: Finding Beauty As A Chinese Transracial Adoptee, Lianna Mcdonald Jan 2024

You Can’T Judge A Book By Its Cover: Finding Beauty As A Chinese Transracial Adoptee, Lianna Mcdonald

Theses & ETDs

In America, the Chinese transracial adoptee sits in a unique position between two cultures with few opportunities to properly explore that position. As a Chinese transracial adoptee myself, I explore my own cultural identity through my artwork and dissect the many facets of my upbringing that have contributed to my sense of identity. Lack of Asian, and specifically adoptee, representation in the media paired with conflicting expectations of Chinese women in America fuel an ongoing feeling of being an outsider that has informed my work and discussion. Artists like Xu Bing and Rina Banerjee, who similarly work with culturally significant …

Explore The Relationship Between Birth Order And Level Of Differentiation Of Self, Ruchika Jain Jan 2024

Explore The Relationship Between Birth Order And Level Of Differentiation Of Self, Ruchika Jain

Graduate Research Theses & Dissertations

Family systems theory has played a primary role in the clinical development of family therapy. This study was conducted to explore the relationship between the variables, level of differentiation of self, and birth order. The researcher wanted to understand and explore the applicability of family systems theory in collectivistic cultures like India. Data from 136 participants from India, aged 18-29 was collected. DSI(R) is a self-reporting questionnaire that was filled up by the participants along with their demographic details and birth order. The results inferred that there was no significant relationship between the studied variables, indicating there are other confounding …


Circular Economy Strategies For Reducing Embodied Carbon In Us Commercial Building Stocks: A System Dynamics Modeling Approach, Radwa Eissa, Islam H. El-Adaway Jan 2024

Circular Economy Strategies For Reducing Embodied Carbon In Us Commercial Building Stocks: A System Dynamics Modeling Approach, Radwa Eissa, Islam H. El-Adaway

Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

Environmental concerns over embodied carbon - which is generated during the extraction, transportation, manufacturing, construction, and disposal of building materials - have been increasing as the industry shifts to renewable energy and grid decarbonization efforts prevail. Commercial buildings, a rapidly growing sector and a major source of embodied carbon, can contribute immensely to the national climate goals by transitioning into a circular economy (CE). Nevertheless, embodied carbon research is rather dispersed, with sparse data on the actual impact of different CE strategies and how they scale on nationwide commercial building stocks. To address this research need, the goal of this …


Physiological Indices Of Anxiety And Self-Regulation Under Task Demands And Talk Aloud, Zachary Gerber Jan 2024

Physiological Indices Of Anxiety And Self-Regulation Under Task Demands And Talk Aloud, Zachary Gerber

All Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Other Capstone Projects

Anxiety shows differential reactions to stress across two distinct constructs: anxious apprehension and anxious arousal. Differences are related to bilateral resting state activity differences as measured by ECG and MRI studies, cognitive coping strategies measure via mismatch between anticipated and actual outcomes and across behavioral performance measures. Of note is the lack of extension of these terms to physiological domains other than measures of brain activity. It has been posited that the brain interacts in a top-down regulatory fashion with the autonomic nervous system to coordinate bodily reactions with environmental information to bring about changes in behavior. Given brain and …
