Fragile Women In Tennessee Williams' The Glass Menagerie And Marina Carr's The Mai, Fathia Saleh Al-Ghoreibi

Scientific Journal of King Faisal University: Humanities and Management Sciences

Both Tennessee Williams and Marina Carr are interested in female issues. Throughout his literary career, Williams expresses his feelings towards his mother and sister through the female characters that inhabit his plays. Mostly, they are fragile women in a hostile world devoid of sympathy and care. The Glass Menagerie, through the characters of Amanda Wingfield and her daughter Laura, offers exemplary figures of such characters whose only weapons against a cruel and severe present is retreat into illusionary worlds of beautiful memories or glass figurines. Similarly, Carr's females in The Mai are trapped women who cannot free themselves from imprisoning …

The Impact Of Using Foreignization And Domestication On The Translation Accuracy Of The Quranic Metaphor (Kinayah) Verses, Mohamad Zaka Al-Farisi

Scientific Journal of King Faisal University: Humanities and Management Sciences

It is known that speech act of kinayah often becomes a complicated problem in the translation process. The problem emerges during the translation process because of the existence of primary meaning and secondary meaning contained in kinayah speech. In this case, the translator must employ so appropriate procedures and techniques of translation that the translation of kinayah becomes accurate. This descriptive research with the design of embedded case study is oriented on translation as a cognitive product of the translators. This research aims at revealing the impact of translation ideology on the accuracy of the translations of kinayah verses in …

Italian Colonization Of Ethiopia And Il Duce’S Rhetoric ​, Isabella Paluzzi Steele

Undergraduate Research and Engagement Symposium

My project analyzes the narratives constructed by Benito Mussolini about Italian colonization of Ethiopia in Fascist Italy. Mussolini's narratives regarding colonization in Ethiopia fall into narrative categories: 1. the narrative of Fascist Italy as a newly reborn Roman Empire, and 2. the narrative of Fascist Italy as racially superior to Ethiopians which made a civilizing mission necessary to Mussolini. Mussolini’s verbal narratives and their diffusion should be examined to gain a clearer understanding of what was shown to the Italian public so there is an understanding of the dissonance between official policies and proclamations and public sentiment.

Quantum Algorithms For Discrete And Combinatorial Optimization, Gloria Oppong

UTC Spring Research and Arts Conference

This study explores quantum computing for combinatorial optimization, focusing on the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP). Using Qiskit, the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA) is implemented on simulators and quantum hardware, and compared with classical optimization using Gurobi. TSP instances are encoded as Quadratic Unconstrained Binary Optimization (QUBO) problems derived from the Miller–Tucker–Zemlin formulation, with quadratic penalties enforcing degree and subtour constraints. Results indicate that QAOA consistently generates feasible tours, but classical branch-and-bound methods achieve better solution quality and runtime. On Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) devices, performance degrades with problem size due to sensitivity to parameter tuning, penalty scaling, and hardware …

Community Resilience And Response To Salinity Gradients In Streams Flowing Into Biscayne Bay, Florida, Sebastian M. Jimenez, Francesca Leasi

UTC Spring Research and Arts Conference

Contemporary shifts in global and local salinity dynamics are caused by various factors, including altered global hydrological cycles, poor water management practices, and salt pollution. For my Honor’s Thesis, I explored the effects that salinity has on communities of meiofauna in coastal streams. Meiofauna are small (45-1000 μm) aquatic invertebrates (microinvertebrates). They are taxonomically diverse and vital to the health and function of all aquatic ecosystems and their food webs. I hypothesized that more sensitive taxa will only be found within a narrow range of salinity, while others will tolerate and be found across a greater range. I quantified meiofauna …

Science And Art Panel: Moderator's Introduction, Christopher Cox

UTC Spring Research and Arts Conference

Science and art are often treated as separate intellectual traditions, yet they share deep cognitive foundations — observation, pattern recognition, and iterative refinement — and have strengthened one another throughout history. Art provides a sensory bridge that makes the invisible phenomena of science tangible, while scientific advancement continually expands the creative palette available to artists through new materials, tools, and technologies. In a professional landscape that tends to silo expertise, individuals who can navigate both the empirical and the expressive — polymaths, in the classical sense — are uniquely positioned to drive innovation.

This panel is composed of five UTC …

Multi-Objective Strategies For Controlling Chinese Privet: Balancing Ecological Impact And Operational Efficiency, Maheshi Galahitiyawe Walawwe, Lakmali Weerasena, Jin Wang

UTC Spring Research and Arts Conference

Effective control of invasive species requires strategies that are both ecologically sound and resource-efficient. Building on our previous modeling efforts, we present an extended framework for the spatiotemporal management of Chinese privet (Ligustrum spp.), emphasizing ongoing and future management strategies. The approach combines discrete-time invasion modeling with optimization-based planning to evaluate adaptive interventions across heterogeneous landscapes, incorporating seed- and root-mediated dispersal, treatment thresholds, and spatial prioritization. In this presentation, we will discuss extensions to the original framework, including multi-period planning scenarios, integration of real-time monitoring data, and projections of long-term ecological outcomes under various management strategies. By highlighting ongoing research …

Kafr Kama: The Marble Finds, Anastasia Shapiro

Qadum: Journal of Excavation Reports from Israel

The study of 127 marble fragments from the excavation of the Umayyad building at Kafr Kama revealed that most of the samples are made of Proconnesian marble and originally belonged to panels that likely decorated a church demolished by the earthquake of 749 CE. The collapse of the building caused the breakage of the panels, which then became spolia. They were marked and reshaped into small geometric forms, such as octagons or trapezoids measuring up to 20–30 cm. Given that no completed items were found, the studied assemblage probably represents the workplace of a stonemason active in Umayyad-period Kafr Kama.

The Use Of Video Laryngoscopy In Pregnant Women Undergoing Non-Obstetric Surgery, Samantha Gastaldo

Doctor of Nursing Practice Scholarly Projects

This quality improvement project looks at the proposed implementation of endotracheal intubation guidelines regarding pregnant patients undergoing non-obstetric surgery and how the use of video laryngoscopy versus the traditional practice will affect the first pass rate of the endotracheal tube intraoperatively. Statistics show that 2% of women undergo non-obstetric related surgery during pregnancy. Physiological changes during pregnancy, including increased laryngeal mucosa swelling and higher metabolic oxygen consumption, result in a heightened risk of apnea and hypoxemia during intubation. Pregnant women experience an eightfold higher incidence of failed intubation compared to non-pregnant populations. The number of patients classified as Mallampati 4 …

Emerging nurse-driven insulin infusion protocols aim to standardize care, improve safety, and enhance clinical efficiency. The purpose of this scoping review was to evaluate existing evidence comparing nurse-driven versus provider-driven insulin infusion protocols in the management of adult patients with DKA.

Methods

A scoping review was conducted in accordance with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. From August 2023 through November 2025, …

Speaking Of Language: The Relationship Between Language As Capital And Minority Language Education, Alex J. Zelaya

Politics Honors Papers

The future of minority languages not only depends on intergenerational transmission but also on support for immersive instruction in minority languages within the educational system. This paper examines the factors that influence support for minority language education, arguing that language policy is shaped by societal attitudes, which in turn reflect dynamics of power. The paper draws upon Pierre Bourdieu’s conceptualization of different types of capital, including his theory on the relationship between economic, social, cultural and symbolic capital. Within this framework, language functions as a form of capital, reflecting and reinforcing social and economic stratification by conveying status or stigma. …

Improving Emergency Department Throughput: Implementation Of A Nurse-Driven Protocol In Pediatric Fast-Track Patients Presenting With Fever, Kerrigan A. Teeple

Evidence-Based Practice Project Reports

Overcrowding in the emergency department presents significant operational challenges and is associated with adverse patient outcomes (Gottlieb et al., 2020). Despite throughput initiatives, increasing patient acuity and rising census levels continue to strain emergency department efficiency. This quality improvement project evaluated whether implementing a fever-reduction standing order protocol could reduce door-to-provider and door-to-disposition times for pediatric fast-track patients presenting to the emergency department. A review of evidence across 6 databases identified nurse-initiated standing orders as a best-practice strategy to expedite care, improve throughput, and reduce delays in disposition. Guided by this evidence, a standing order protocol for acetaminophen administration was …
