How Hearing Parents With Deaf Or Hard Of Hearing Children Construct Deafness Through Their Early Intervention Experience, Bettie T. Petersen

Language, Literacy, and Sociocultural Studies ETDs

Understanding Self-Compassion Within Narrative Identity: The Struggles Of Japanese Students With Measuring Up, Anton Sevilla-Liu

The Qualitative Report

The psychology of self-compassion is growing in importance for understanding well-being and helping people in therapeutic and educational settings.

It is guided by the questions, “How do students experience the struggle between self-compassion and its deficit? And how is this experience manifest in their narrative identity?” This study examined three Japanese university students who submitted their narrative self-reflections, including stories of the high point, low point, turning point, and recurring pattern in …

Relative Importance Of Applicant Characteristics In Ophthalmology Residency Interview Selection: A Survey Of Program Directors, Samuel A. Cohen, Suzann Pershing

Journal of Academic Ophthalmology

The Archaic Vocabulary Of The Book Of Mormon, Royal Skousen

Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship

In my work as editor of the Book of Mormon Critical Text Project (which began in 1988), I was initially interested in discovering the original English-language text of the book. But I soon came to the conclusion that it would be impossible to fully recover the original text by scholarly means, in large part because only 28 percent of the original manuscript is extant. In addition, there are obvious errors in the original manuscript itself that require conjectural emendation. As I have worked on the text of the Book of Mormon, I have come to some surprising conclusions regarding the …

Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship

إنها تمثل أقوى مقومات الإيحاء فيه ، وقد قامت لغة الشعر العربي منذ خلقته الأولى وما

زالت تقوم على التنغيم والإيقاع ، لأن غايته التعبير عن هذه الأحاسيس وتلك المشاعر

We conducted the largest-to-date survey on the subject and analyzed 913 responses …
