Filipino American Parents' Experiences With The United States Special Education System: A Qualitative Study, Greyagail Custodio Surio
Filipino American Parents' Experiences With The United States Special Education System: A Qualitative Study, Greyagail Custodio Surio
Theses and Dissertations
While there have been studies on Asian American (AA) parents' experiences with the U.S. special education (SPED) system, there have been no studies on Filipino American (FA) parents' experiences with the SPED system. As FAs are the third largest Asian group in the United States., there is a need for special education research to be conducted with this population. Interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) interviews were conducted over Zoom with FA parents of children receiving SPED services. Participants resided in various states in the United States (n = 10). Participants reported varied and nuanced experiences related to advocacy, working with the …

Mitochondrial Genome Analysis Of The Late Bronze Age Andronovo Population In Central Tianshan, Xinjiang, Jie Zhang, Xue Zhao, Ying Nie, Mingru Sui, Wulan An, Liangren Zheng, Chunxiang Li
Human Biology Open Access Pre-Prints
The Andronovo Culture, which originated from the Sintashta Culture, played a significant role in the migration of populations across the Eurasian steppe. The Tianshan Mountains, situated at the eastern end of Eurasian steppe, became the main distribution area of Andronovo culture in Xinjiang during the Late Bronze Age (LBA). To investigate the genetic structure, genetic diversity, and possible migration routes of the Late Bronze Age Andronovo population, we conducted mitochondrial genomes analysis on 12 individuals excavated from the Shihuyao cemetery in the Central Tianshan of Xinjiang. The results revealed that Shihuyao population exhibited high genetic diversity, and a close genetic …
Association Between The Lack Of Health Insurance, Income, And The Severity Of Negative Perinatal Outcomes Among Native Spanish- And English-Speaking Women Living In Florida, Khadijeh Ashktorab
Association Between The Lack Of Health Insurance, Income, And The Severity Of Negative Perinatal Outcomes Among Native Spanish- And English-Speaking Women Living In Florida, Khadijeh Ashktorab
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Evidence indicates that non-English-speaking mothers, particularly Spanish-only speakers, experience worse maternal health outcomes compared to their mainstream counterparts. Language barriers often hinder communication and negatively affect perinatal care. This study used data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System from Florida (2019–2020) to examine associations between health insurance, income, and perinatal outcomes among Spanish and English-speaking women. Krieger’s eco-social theory guided this cross-sectional, quantitative analysis. Chi-square tests were used for bivariable analysis, and multivariable models were used to adjust for confounders. Results showed that native language alone significantly predicted specific outcomes such as large-for-gestational-age …
Factors Affecting The Educational Status Of Children In Nigeria, Ayima Lott
Factors Affecting The Educational Status Of Children In Nigeria, Ayima Lott
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
The problem addressed in this study is that irrespective of active involvement of Nigeria in Universal Basic Education, the nation still records the highest number of out-of-school children globally. The purpose of this quantitative study was to determine how geopolitical location, socio-economics of the household, parental education, role of the child, age of the child, and gender of the child predict the educational status of children in Nigeria. This study is grounded in conflict and social systems theories. The most recent national secondary data on education from the 2015 Nigerian Education Data Survey was used. Univariate, bivariate, and multivariate logistic …

The review initially discussed the variables of social media and social context of speech and then discussed the literature produced on the effects of race and gender on social media, hate speech and social media research, the work done on automated detection of online hate speech and then the effect of race and gender in hate speech detection. The review found that …
Operation And Termination Of Sunset Clauses In Bilateral Investment Treaties, Claudia Annacker Dr.
Operation And Termination Of Sunset Clauses In Bilateral Investment Treaties, Claudia Annacker Dr.
National Law School Business Law Review
Sunset clauses in bilateral investment treaties (“BITs”) extend treaty protections for investments made prior to a BIT’s termination for a certain period thereafter. Although almost all BITs contain sunset clauses, their operation and termination remain unexplored in several respects. Sunset clauses have recently been put into the spotlight as a number of States, including, for example, India, Indonesia, Australia, and the Member States of the European Union, have terminated or renegotiated numerous BITs in the context of the investment treaty reform process. While it is relatively uncontroversial that sunset clauses apply when a contracting State unilaterally terminates a BIT, the …

The study identified the policies and practices that contribute to the Samoan education system's capacity to respond and recover from crisis and the factors that can drive system resilience, including social, human …
Organic Websites: Certification Of Ai-Generated Or Human-Written Content On The Internet, Andrew W. Torrance, Bill Tomlinson
Organic Websites: Certification Of Ai-Generated Or Human-Written Content On The Internet, Andrew W. Torrance, Bill Tomlinson
Chicago-Kent Journal of Intellectual Property
This paper proposes the development of a certification system analogous to the standards used in organic food labeling, designed to distinguish websites based on the proportion of human-written versus AI-generated content. In an era where AI plays an increasingly prominent role in content creation, this system would provide transparency for consumers and uphold fair competition in digital markets. The certification would allow website creators to present verifiable evidence of their content’s provenance, ranging from entirely human-made, to a mix of human and AI contributions, to fully AI-generated content. Additionally, this paper explores the legal and policy frameworks necessary for implementing …

Lowell Hardin: Mentor Extraordinaire, Larry L. Murdock, Thomas W. Hertel, Gebisa Ejeta
Purdue University Press Books
Lowell Stewart Hardin (1917–2015), an Indiana farm boy who became an enormously influential international agriculturalist, made the world a better place for the poor and the hungry on this earth. For seventeen years he led the Ford Foundation’s agricultural development efforts, contributing to the Green Revolution. He helped to found and guide international agriculture research centers in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. He inspired others to get involved and opened doors for them. He taught by example, gave others credit, and always stepped back, avoiding the limelight himself. In this volume, twenty-two people who knew him well share stories of …
Evidence-Based Teaching Interventions For Emergent Multilingual Students In High School Science Classrooms: A Literature Review, Uma Ganesan
Teaching and Learning Faculty Publications
As student populations in the United States grow increasingly linguistically and culturally diverse, asset-oriented pedagogical approaches become essential for leveraging the linguistic talents of multilingual students in science education. This literature review explores evidence-based instructional interventions supporting emergent multilingual learners in deeply engaging with scientific practices and communication in high school science classrooms. The review examined nine peer-reviewed studies published between 2012 and 2023, focusing on instructional strategies for multilingual learners in secondary science education. Findings reveal promising interventions such as the 5E instructional model, think-pair-share discussions, translanguaging techniques, and culturally responsive pedagogy. These approaches, grounded in sociocultural theory and …
Shalom: A Judeo-Christian Response To Greed, Kwok Tung Cheung
Shalom: A Judeo-Christian Response To Greed, Kwok Tung Cheung
Journal of Religion and Business Ethics
In my recent conceptual analysis of greed, I argue that there are three different conceptual aspects, namely, a consuming desire to acquire more and more (the psychological), an inordinate love for material possession and power (the metaphysical), and an action of acquiring more than one’s share by taking what belongs to one’s fellow citizens, essentially with a calculating indifference toward others (the socio-historical). The aim of that analysis, as a foundational work, is to make sense of the vice or the moral mistake of greed in the contemporary world, especially by reviving the socio-historical aspect which is about justice. Building …

Twitter Politics: The Effect Of Language Style And Source Type On Credibility Judgments, Grace M. Wasinger, Haley Moon, Brooke Mann
Academic Leadership Journal in Student Research
Politicians can harness social media to influence public perception and shape narratives about current events. Twitter is a social media site that many users engage with for information-seeking purposes. This study investigates how language style and source type influences media viewers’ perceptions on Twitter. In an experiment, participants were presented with tweets that varied by the formality of language used and the type of account used varied by political or personal accounts. Findings suggest a difference in source credibility judgments on the account type and language style used. Specifically, participants viewed formal language and professional accounts as more competent, while …
The Dirty Work Of Faith-Washing In A Faith-Friendly Business, Cathy Driscoll
The Dirty Work Of Faith-Washing In A Faith-Friendly Business, Cathy Driscoll
Journal of Religion and Business Ethics
Drawing on faith/spirituality at work and organizational legitimacy literatures, a case study of a large global meat company is used to deconstruct the concept of faith-friendly business and explore how faith-washing can provide a business with legitimacy and potentially distract stakeholders from irresponsible activities. In particular, I focus on the faith-friendly communications and initiatives in relation to treatment of non-salaried employees as a primary stakeholder of the company. I highlight a disconnect from religious social thought on meaningful and dignified work and many of the concepts found in the modern faith/spirituality at work literature, as well as societal expectations on …

Quantifying The Role Of Active Listening And Reassurance In Virtual Health Coach Interactions, Ghulam Hussain, Brian Keegan, Robert Ross
Articles
Conversational Agents have the potential to support healthcare through coaching exercise routines, but are still lacking in demonstrating authentic social behaviours to support engagement. To this end, we present a series of experiments that we conducted in order to investigate how automated health care coaches can be more effective when their interaction style is tailored to demonstrate qualities associated with a good bedside manner, namely active listening and reassurance. To test this, we first developed a dataset of 135 dialogue excerpts from three distinct sources, i.e., original, handcrafted and LLMs, the latter two of which were tuned to demonstrate specific …
Navigating Trauma: A Linguistic Exploration Of Bilingual Trauma Expressions, Amira Mahmoud Othman
Navigating Trauma: A Linguistic Exploration Of Bilingual Trauma Expressions, Amira Mahmoud Othman
Theses and Dissertations
This study explores the relationship between language, trauma, and emotional expression among bilingual Arabic-English speakers, focusing on code-switching patterns and euphemisms, and more broadly the emotional roles of native and non-native languages in trauma narratives. Through qualitative interviews with 20 Egyptian participants, the research reveals that code-switching serves as both a linguistic and emotional tool, allowing speakers to navigate trauma by creating distance or engaging more intimately. Such codeswitching patterns include the integration of English content words within Arabic structures, morphosyntactic innovations, and gender agreement applications, reflecting the creative adaptability of bilingual speakers in emotionally charged contexts, in line with …

Enhancing Online Toxicity Detection On Gaming Networks: A Novel Embeddings-Based Valence Lexicon Approach, Heba Ismail, Ashraf Khalil, Ahmed Jasmy
All Works
Online toxicity and violent speech on gaming networks pose significant threats to societal well-being, particularly among adolescents, and are linked to severe consequences such as suicide. This highlights an urgent need for effective toxicity detection methods tailored to these platforms. Traditional rule-based approaches are inherently limited, and the performance of predictive models in detecting online toxicity is critically dependent on the quality and representativeness of their training data. However, the distinct linguistic characteristics of discourse on gaming networks present unique challenges in curating representative training samples using existing valence lexicons, often resulting in suboptimal detection accuracy. In this study, we …

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
The Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEIA) added Response to Intervention (RTI) to its policy to close the social and economic disadvantages that suppress the academic achievement of minority students. The problem that was addressed through this study is that teachers struggle to implement RTI to support minority male students in Grades 3 – 5 at four local elementary schools in the Central United States. The purpose of the study was to explore the perceptions of Grades 3 – 5 teachers for implementing RTI to support minority males and the training and resources available and needed at four elementary …
Cultural Influences On Parental Advocacy For Inclusion: Experiences Of South Asian Families With Children With Extensive Support Needs, Sudha Krishnan
Cultural Influences On Parental Advocacy For Inclusion: Experiences Of South Asian Families With Children With Extensive Support Needs, Sudha Krishnan
Faculty Research, Scholarly, and Creative Activity
This qualitative study examined the cultural factors in parental advocacy in South Asian parents of children with extensive support needs (ESN), concerning the educational placement decisions for their children. Data were collected using semi-structured interviews and analyzed using thematic coding. The findings revealed that the predominant preference for segregated educational settings among participants was shaped by various cultural influences: persistent social stigma surrounding disability, a culturally-rooted belief in the curability of the disability, the prioritization of safety over academic integration, perceived inadequacies within general education settings, institutional pressures from school or IEP recommendations, advocacy for intensive home-based instruction, and a …

“I Remember It...I Feel It” Place’S Intangible Identity: Explorations Through The Lens Of Micro-Phenomenology- Case Study Of Al-Sultan Hassan Complex, Sarah Mohamed El Zoheiry
Theses and Dissertations
In today’s contemporary architecture, the growing of anonymous and interchangeable spaces has diminished the distinctive character of the place, its individuality and experiential signification, fostering placelessness. This research argues that the framework of reconsidering place’s atmosphere offers a pathway to reconnect people with places through emotional, sensory, and embodied encounters. This research investigates the phenomenology of place, focusing on the atmosphere as an intangible identity that transcends physical attributes and engages people's senses and feelings. By exploring the Al-Sultan Hassan complex, the study deepens the understanding of the transcendental quality of the atmosphere, it’s unfolding over time, and it’s associated …

Comparing The Quality Of Ai-Generated And Instructor Feedback In A University Writing Program, Hana Mohamed Nassar
Theses and Dissertations
Feedback is an undeniably important aspect of the language learning process. It helps students recognize their strengths and weaknesses and identifies ways they can improve. Over the years, feedback has been provided by teachers, peers and Automated Writing Evaluation (AWE) tools. However, in recent years, artificial intelligence applications have proliferated significantly. With abilities to analyze and generate any kind of content, these models are being used to generate scores and feedback on written assignments to help lighten teachers’ load. ChatGPT has been called “the world’s most advanced chatbot” and “a potential chance to improve second language learning and instruction” (Shabara …
Sustaining Private Higher Education Institutions’ Quality With Expandability And Inclusivity, Amal Salah
Sustaining Private Higher Education Institutions’ Quality With Expandability And Inclusivity, Amal Salah
Theses and Dissertations
Abstract The private higher education sector in Egypt is rapidly expanding. The Government of Egypt (GOE) supports its growth by providing legislation and incentives with the main objective of offering high-quality higher education to the growing youth bulge. Private universities react to the successive economic crises by raising their fees in order to maintain the quality of education. In the absence of supporting financial schemes for individual students, the surge in fees perpetuates inequity in access to private higher education for the lower socio-economic strata of the Egyptian society. This paper aims to address a gap in research concerning the …

Comfort With Technology And Its Association With Depression Of Custodial Grandparents During The Covid-19 Pandemic, Sarah Pace, Yanfeng Xu, Theresa Harrison
GrandFamilies: The Contemporary Journal of Research, Practice and Policy
During the COVID-19 pandemic, custodial grandparents faced heightened risks of depression due to increased social isolation and caregiving responsibilities. This study examines the association between comfort with technology and depression among custodial grandparents. Cross-sectional data were collected from 287 custodial grandparents across the United States between May 2021 and February 2022. Logistic regression analysis revealed that custodial grandparents’ higher comfort with technology was significantly associated with lower odds of depression (OR = 0.68, p < .001). Additionally, those who had reliable access to the internet had significantly lower odds of experiencing depression (OR = 0.78, p = .039). Furthermore, the need for telemental health services was associated with increased odds of depression (OR = 3.18, p = .003). These findings highlight …
