Shell And Glass Beads From The Tombs Of Kindoki, Mbanza Nsundi, Lower Congo, Charlotte Verhaeghe, Bernard-Olivier Clist, Chantal Fontaine
Shell And Glass Beads From The Tombs Of Kindoki, Mbanza Nsundi, Lower Congo, Charlotte Verhaeghe, Bernard-Olivier Clist, Chantal Fontaine
BEADS: Journal of the Society of Bead Researchers
The ancient Kingdom of Kongo originated in Central Africa in the 14th century. In the 15th century, the Portuguese organized tight contacts with the Bakongo. From then on European goods gained new significance in the local culture and even found their way into funerary rites. Among the most important grave goods in the Kingdom of Kongo were shell and glass beads. They occur in many tombs and symbolize wealth, status, or femininity. At the burial site of Kindoki, linked with the former capital of Kongo's Nsundi province, a great number of shell and glass beads were found together with symbols …
Women And The American Wilderness: Responses To Landscape And Myth, Gina Bessetti-Reyes
Women And The American Wilderness: Responses To Landscape And Myth, Gina Bessetti-Reyes
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Women and the American Wilderness: Responses to Landscape and Myth" explores three, middle to upper-class white women's responses to wilderness from texts published between 1823 and 1939. Through an exploration of James Fenimore Cooper's heroine Elizabeth Temple in the novel The Pioneers (1823), Isabella Bird's published letters entitled A Lady's Life in the Rocky Mountains (1873), and Muriel Rukeyser's reaction to the Gauley Bridge Tragedy of the 1930s in her book of poems The Book of the Dead (1939), I show that women's responses to the American wilderness not only included a reaction to the physical terrain but also to …
Accounting History As A Local Discipline: The Case Of The Italian-Speaking Literature (1869-2008), Valerio Antonelli, Raffaele D'Alessio
Accounting History As A Local Discipline: The Case Of The Italian-Speaking Literature (1869-2008), Valerio Antonelli, Raffaele D'Alessio
Accounting Historians Journal
The aim of the paper is to demonstrate how Italian-language accounting history was one example of a local accounting discipline. For this purpose, we reviewed all historical publications edited from 1869 to 2008 and conducted an in-depth analysis on the database we built. Evidence about authorships, dates of publication, publication forms, periods of study, issues and approaches, were collected. The results show many changes in the publishing patterns of accounting history research. We also explore how the schools of accounting thought, the assessment of historical research in the recruitment system, the stimuli and opportunities coming from the Italian Society of …
Historical Evolution Of The Balance Sheet In The People's Republic Of China, Shizhong Yang, Ruining Yang, Z. Jun Lin
Historical Evolution Of The Balance Sheet In The People's Republic Of China, Shizhong Yang, Ruining Yang, Z. Jun Lin
Accounting Historians Journal
This paper exhibits the historical evolution of the balance sheet in the People's Republic of China. In particular, we examine three major changes in the balance sheet (which reports the financial position of an economic or business entity) since the founding of the new China in 1949 and the political, social and economic changes during this period. The content, structure and presentation of the balance sheet (or alternative forms of the statement in use) are illustrated. The political and economic factors driving its evolution are analyzed to assist readers in understanding the rapid changes in Chinese accounting over the last …

"You'll Have To Take It: Urban Vigilantism And American Film, 1967-1985", Joseph E. Roskos
"You'll Have To Take It: Urban Vigilantism And American Film, 1967-1985", Joseph E. Roskos
Masters Theses
My thesis shows how vigilantism as expressed through the politics of race interacted from the late 1960s until the mid-1980s, serving to support a culture of backlash that drew from the public’s mistrust of government institutions and authorities, and its reactions to crime, class conflict, and racial tensions. Vigilante films served as the battleground where class conflicts were played out; violent backlash was realized; historical wars were refought; cultures and principles clashed; and people cleansed their communities of crime and illegal drug-use. The culture of backlash as portrayed in vigilante films as well as historical events showed how their relationship …

The Inevitability Of Epistemology In Historiography: Theory, History, And Zombie Mormon History, Alan Goff
The Inevitability Of Epistemology In Historiography: Theory, History, And Zombie Mormon History, Alan Goff
Interpreter: A Journal of Latter-day Saint Faith and Scholarship
Fundamental changes have occurred in the historical profession over the past thirty years. The central revolutionary change is that workers in the historical profession can no longer ignore theory and philosophy of history. A built-in resistance to theory causes historians to abjure philosophical analysis of their discipline at a time when such analysis is recognized to be indispensable. If one doesn’t have an explicit theory, one will appropriate one uncritically, without the felt need to articulate and defend the theory. The dominant theory in history over the past century has been positivism, a conception of disciplinary work that ruled history …

A Study Of The Experience Of Female African-American Seventh Graders In A Science, Technology, Engineering, And Math (Stem) Afterschool Program, Beverley Fiona Hinds
Master's Theses and Doctoral Dissertations
The purpose of this qualitative study was to determine what inspires or leads seventh-grade African-American girls toward an interest in STEM, to characterize and describe the context of an out-of-school STEM learning environment, explore the impact on the seventh- grade African-American girls who participated in the program as it relates to individual STEM identity, and identify personal and academic experiences of seventh-grade African- American girls that contribute to the discouragement or pursuit of science and math-related academic pathways and careers. Notable findings in this study included the following: 1. Participants were interested in STEM and able to identify both external …
Development Of A Gravid Mosquito Trap For Surveillance Of The Malaria Vector Anopheles Gambiae S.I. Giles (Diptera: Culicidae), Dugassa Lemma Sisay
Development Of A Gravid Mosquito Trap For Surveillance Of The Malaria Vector Anopheles Gambiae S.I. Giles (Diptera: Culicidae), Dugassa Lemma Sisay
All PhD Dissertations
This study was intended to develop a trap for surveillance of gravid malaria vectors,Anopheles gambiae s.l., in outdoor venue.First, a suite of tools were developed for studying the oviposition behaviour of gravid An. gambiae s.l. A square of four electric nets with yellow sticky filmmounted boards to collect electrocuted mosquitoes was developed as a tool to quantify gravid mosquitoes approaching an oviposition site. On average 33% (95% CI 28-38%) of mosquitoes released were recollected with the e-nets. The electric net (e-net) setup was evaluated for any influence on the response of gravid mosquitoes to a pond it surrounds compared to …
Restoration: A Theological Poem In The Book Of Mormon, Val Larsen
Restoration: A Theological Poem In The Book Of Mormon, Val Larsen
Interpreter: A Journal of Latter-day Saint Faith and Scholarship
The distinctive Mormon conception of God makes possible a logically coherent reconciliation of the facially incompatible laws of justice and mercy. The Book of Mormon prophet Alma clearly explains how these two great laws may be reconciled through the atonement and repentance that the atonement makes possible. Alma artfully illustrates the relationship between justice and mercy in a carefully crafted theological poem.
Separated But Not Divorced: The Lds Church’S Uncomfortable Relationship With Its Polygamous Past, Craig L. Foster
Separated But Not Divorced: The Lds Church’S Uncomfortable Relationship With Its Polygamous Past, Craig L. Foster
Interpreter: A Journal of Latter-day Saint Faith and Scholarship
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints’s uncomfortable relationship with its polygamous history is somewhat like an awkward marriage separation. This is, in part, because of the fitful, painful cessation of plural marriage and the ever present reminders of its complicated past. This essay looks at examples of members’ expression of discomfort over a polygamous heritage and concludes with suggestions of possible pathways to a more comfortable reconciliation.

Long-Term Changes In Four Plant Communities Along An Elevational Gradient In The Front Range Of Colorado, Gregory J. Sproull
Long-Term Changes In Four Plant Communities Along An Elevational Gradient In The Front Range Of Colorado, Gregory J. Sproull
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
We surveyed four plant communities along an elevational gradient in the Front Range of the Colorado Rocky Mountains for long-term overstory and understory changes. Our results were compared to those found in 1981 and 1996. We evaluated changes in succession, elevational species migration and range expansion, community diversity, and composition. We related temporal floristic shifts to prior literature on disturbance history at each site. Over time, all communities changed significantly, though in different manners. This analysis shows that plant communities are changing in dynamic and idiosyncratic ways that correspond to individualistic distribution shifts. Moreover, we exhibit the necessity of comprehensively …

The Origins Of Captive Pricing: Electric Lamp Renewal Systems, Regina A. Greenwood, Charles D. Wrege, Peter Gordon
The Origins Of Captive Pricing: Electric Lamp Renewal Systems, Regina A. Greenwood, Charles D. Wrege, Peter Gordon
HCBE Faculty Articles
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to describe the development of electric lamp renewal systems, an early, successful program to encourage the adoption of new technology, electric lighting. Design/methodology/approach – Much material for the research comes from a variety of archival sources and publications of the early part of the twentieth century. Findings – The free lamp renewal system was brilliant and effective: its high level of customer service and human contact dispelled fear raised by the new energy source, increasing the acceptance and use of electric lighting and thereby electricity. Lighting, in the absence of electrical appliances, …
Notes On Unplanned Coauthorship, Wendy J. Gordon, Shyamkrishna Balganesh
Notes On Unplanned Coauthorship, Wendy J. Gordon, Shyamkrishna Balganesh
Scholarship Chronologically
Unplanned coauthorship refers to the process by which contributors to a creative work are treated by copyright law as coauthors of the work based entirely on their observable behavior during its creation. The process entails a court imputing the status of coauthors to the parties ex post, usually during a claim for copyright infringement. For years now, courts and scholars have struggled to identify a coherent rationale for unplanned coauthorship and situate it within copyright's set of goals and objectives. This Article offers a novel framework for understanding the rules of unplanned coauthorship using insights from theories of shared intentionality. …
Dispersal Capabilities Of Two Plecopteran Species And Macroinvertebrate Community From Four Watersheds In Northeast Ohio, Alison L. Yasick
Dispersal Capabilities Of Two Plecopteran Species And Macroinvertebrate Community From Four Watersheds In Northeast Ohio, Alison L. Yasick
ETD Archive
This dissertation focused on the insect order Plecoptera, and hypothesized that Allocapnia recta populations would have lower genetic diversity than Leuctra tenuis between adjacent Chagrin and Grand Rivers due to wing structure and season of terrestrial adult emergence. Genetic variations within the 16s rRNA region of mtDNA in A. recta, a winter emerging adult with rudimentary wing structure, and L. tenuis, a summer emerging adult with fully developed wings, were compared and revealed significant genetic variability between A. recta samples from the two rivers (FST = 0.20) but not between L. tenuis samples (FST = 0.07). Further genetic variation investigation …
Railroad Radicals In Cold War Mexico, Robert F. Alegre
Railroad Radicals In Cold War Mexico, Robert F. Alegre
University of Nebraska Press: Sample Books and Chapters
Despite the Mexican government’s projected image of prosperity and modernity in the years following World War II, workers who felt that Mexico’s progress had come at their expense became increasingly discontented. From 1948 to 1958, unelected and often corrupt officials of STFRM, the railroad workers’ union, collaborated with the ruling Institutionalized Revolutionary Party (PRI) to freeze wages for the rank and file. In response, members of STFRM staged a series of labor strikes in 1958 and 1959 that inspired a nationwide working-class movement. The Mexican army crushed the last strike on March 26, 1959, and union members discovered that in …
Colonial Mediascapes, Jeffrey Glover, Matt Cohen
Colonial Mediascapes, Jeffrey Glover, Matt Cohen
University of Nebraska Press: Sample Books and Chapters
In colonial North and South America, print was only one way of communicating. Information in various forms flowed across the boundaries between indigenous groups and early imperial settlements. Natives and newcomers made speeches, exchanged gifts, invented gestures, and inscribed their intentions on paper, bark, skins, and many other kinds of surfaces. No one method of conveying meaning was privileged, and written texts often relied on nonwritten modes of communication. Colonial Mediascapes examines how textual and nontextual literatures interacted in colonial North and South America. Extending the textual foundations of early American literary history, the editors bring a wide range of …
