A Qualitative Investigation Of The Technology Acceptance Model In The U.S. Cooperative Extension Service On The Adoption Of Customer Relationship Management Systems, Aaron Weibe
Doctoral Dissertations and Projects
This research investigates the technology acceptance model (TAM) in the U.S. Cooperative Extension Service (CES) regarding the adoption of customer relationship management (CRM) systems to improve communications, outreach, and engagement with the publics and communities it serves. The CES comprises land-grant universities throughout the United States and offices in nearly every county in the country. It provides research-based educational programming to help communities of all sizes meet the challenges they face. However, many CES organizations have yet to adopt CRM technologies, leading to potential missed opportunities in improving client engagement, outreach, and communications. A thorough review of the literature of …
Basic Needs Fulfillment And Course Completion Rates For Online University Students With Disabilities: A Quantitative, Non-Experimental, Causal-Comparative Study, Ashleigh M. King
Basic Needs Fulfillment And Course Completion Rates For Online University Students With Disabilities: A Quantitative, Non-Experimental, Causal-Comparative Study, Ashleigh M. King
Doctoral Dissertations and Projects
The purpose of this quantitative, nonexperimental causal-comparative study is to determine if there is a difference in the percentage of courses completed between online university students with disabilities who are experiencing food and/or housing insecurity and those who are not. Students with disabilities at universities are less likely to complete courses than peers without disabilities, and while this discrepancy is often blamed on disability, other factors that impact student performance must be examined to determine if intersecting factors that disproportionately impact people with disabilities, specifically food and housing insecurity, may be contributing to decreased percentages of course completion. The theory …

“Hell Is Only A Word. The Reality Is Much, Much Worse”: Black Holes As Fantasy Gateways To Hell, Kristine Larsen
“Hell Is Only A Word. The Reality Is Much, Much Worse”: Black Holes As Fantasy Gateways To Hell, Kristine Larsen
Mythlore: A Journal of J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, Charles Williams, and Mythopoeic Literature
While the genre of space horror is generically defined as simply space-based horror, there exist specific tropes that can be used to identify representative works. Among these are: (i) a relatively small ensemble cast, (ii) many of whom die over the course of the story; (iii) a secret corporate/political/military agenda and (iv) physical and psychological stresses due to the arduous process of space travel and related isolation. A subset of space horror adds metaphysical elements, drawing connections to Hell, more specifically a liminal space that Victor Turner terms the “betwixt and between.” As the region around and within the event …
Hell As An Exploration Of Sin: A Comparison Of Alan Moore’S Providence To Dante’S Inferno, Zachary Rutledge
Hell As An Exploration Of Sin: A Comparison Of Alan Moore’S Providence To Dante’S Inferno, Zachary Rutledge
Mythlore: A Journal of J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, Charles Williams, and Mythopoeic Literature
In Alan Moore’s graphic novel Providence, Robert Black travels Lovecraftian New England and suffers a series of horrifying encounters—each an allusion to a Lovecraft story. These encounters contain direct references to various sins and taboos, thereby making explicit much of the sublimated sexuality in Lovecraft’s works. Therefore, Black’s journey constitutes not only a trip through Lovecraft’s mythology but also reads as a cataloguing of sins reminiscent of Dante’s passage through the levels of sin in Inferno. This paper identifies and explores the similarities between Dante and Black as examples of those who descend to the underworld along with a …
Hell On His Mind: Dean Winchester’S Journey To Hell And Back, Anna Caterino
Hell On His Mind: Dean Winchester’S Journey To Hell And Back, Anna Caterino
Mythlore: A Journal of J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, Charles Williams, and Mythopoeic Literature
Season three of Supernatural (2005-2020) closes with a shot of Dean Winchester (Jensen Ackles) in Hell. The place has no discernible features and resembles neither the long waiting line nor the gothic castle of later seasons. What is does resemble is a brain, with a labyrinth of ropes reminiscent of neurons, suggesting Hell is a place that exists first and foremost in Dean’s head. The lack of establishing shots and the abstract terms used to discuss Hell, damnation, and Dean’s experience present the viewer with a physical place into which all of Dean’s fears and trauma converge. This essay analyzes …
Substance Abuse: The Symbolic Geography Of Hell In The Great Divorce, Richard A. Bergen
Substance Abuse: The Symbolic Geography Of Hell In The Great Divorce, Richard A. Bergen
Mythlore: A Journal of J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, Charles Williams, and Mythopoeic Literature
Blake’s The Marriage of Heaven and Hell is a Romantic vision of evil energy that reaches to the heavens, a geographical representation of capacity and scope and perpetual cosmic change. On the other hand, Lewis’s vision of hell in The Great Divorce is that of a land without substance: a conurbation of addiction to mental maladies, an endless mental substance abuse, an emptying of presence, and a banal stasis to the journey of the soul. Many of Lewis’s sources and inspirations for The Great Divorce, similarly, portray hell as a land of paradoxical “seeming-largeness”, while having ontological smallness. Throughout …
Tolkien, Augustinian Theodicy, And 'Lovecraftian' Evil, Perry Neil Harrison
Tolkien, Augustinian Theodicy, And 'Lovecraftian' Evil, Perry Neil Harrison
Mythlore: A Journal of J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, Charles Williams, and Mythopoeic Literature
A number of scholars have commented upon Augustine of Hippo’s influence upon J.R.R. Tolkien’s portrayal of evil in his legendarium. However, in his seminal work J.R.R. Tolkien: Author of the Century, Tom Shippey pushes back against this perception, noting that there are some forms of evil in the legendarium that do not adhere to the Augustine’s belief that evil is merely a “twisting” of good. This article argues that Ungoliant is one such exception to the Augustinian paradigm because of the uncertainty regarding her origins.This uncertainty complicates the Augustinian view of evil that permeates the legendarium and instead echoes …

Effect Of Sleep Deprivation On Perceived Exertion In Endurance Athletes: A Critically Appraise Topic, Colton Mcguire
Liberty University Research Week
Context: Many studies have been conducted in order to determine the effects of sleep deprivations on athletes due its effects on performance. These studies focus on objective performance measures but have less commonly used a subjective measure of performance in the athletic population is used, called “perceived exertion.” Therefore, the purpose of this Critically Appraised Topic was formulated in order to find out the hypothetical question of “In endurance athletes, what is the effect of normal sleep compared to that of sleep deprivation when looking at perceived exertion?” Methods: Keywords and Boolean modifiers were used in sources such as PubMed, …
Improving Self-Efficacy In Flight Nurse Practitioners In Preparation For The Role Of The Law Enforcement Tactical Nurse Practitioner, Gregory Wamack
Improving Self-Efficacy In Flight Nurse Practitioners In Preparation For The Role Of The Law Enforcement Tactical Nurse Practitioner, Gregory Wamack
Liberty University Research Week
Current evidence demonstrates that the number of nurse practitioners working in the prehospital setting is growing. Additional training beyond formal nurse practitioner curriculums is necessary to increase the nurse practitioner's self-efficacy, knowledge, and skills for operational tactical conditions. Evidence also demonstrates that the Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TC3) course is the national tactical care and training standard. The purpose of this evidence-based pilot study was to increase the tactical self-efficacy of nontactical civilian flight nurse practitioners (FNPs). The clinical question was in the nontactical civilian flight nurse practitioner, does receiving education through the Tactical Combat Casualty Care course increase their …

Liberty University Research Week
The field of interpreting is ever-growing, and with this, there are always problems that interpreter education programs can address. The following research is aimed towards interpreter education, commonly known as Interpreter Education Programs (IEPS). Due to mass amounts of research proving surface-level preparation in the context of coping mechanisms, this study is aimed to explore if extensive education in IEPs can decrease the presence of vicarious trauma in the field. This topic does not only apply in the contexts of mental health interpreting but can also apply to medical and legal settings. The following theoretical research utilizes an online questionnaire …

Parental Kidnapping And Domestic Violence: The Need To Reform And Enforce State Action, Anna Ratterman
Parental Kidnapping And Domestic Violence: The Need To Reform And Enforce State Action, Anna Ratterman
Georgia Criminal Law Review
When civil family issues intersect with criminal acts, the civil and criminal systems fail to effectuate a complete remedy. Specifically, there are few effective protections for victims of domestic violence during the pendency of domestic relations proceedings. Given the complicated gender dynamics and inequalities that have developed throughout history, it is unsurprising that the criminal and civil systems have failed to prioritize prosecution of crimes against women. Current criminal laws fail to treat domestic violence and parental kidnapping as serious crimes and instead adopt the view that domestic disputes are private issues to be handled within the family. In turn, …
Prevalence And Risk Factors Of Hikikomori In Young Adults In The Middle East, Harshil Paresh Shah
Prevalence And Risk Factors Of Hikikomori In Young Adults In The Middle East, Harshil Paresh Shah
Thesis/ Dissertation Defenses
Hikikomori, a form of severe social withdrawal that can occur without the presence of any other psychological disorder, was once thought to be a Japanese culture-bound phenomena. However, studies have emerged from several parts of the world showing that this may be a global issue. Extant literature suggests associations between hikikomori and behavioral addictions such as gaming addiction and problematic social media use (PSMU). Since there is a relative paucity of research examining this phenomenon in the Middle Eastern context, this study aimed to determine the prevalence and risk factors of hikikomori in young adults of the Middle East. It …

The Roycean Communal Ideal In T. S. Eliot's “The Love Song Of J. Alfred Prufrock”, Micah Gill
The Roycean Communal Ideal In T. S. Eliot's “The Love Song Of J. Alfred Prufrock”, Micah Gill
Butler Journal of Undergraduate Research
T. S. Eliot’s poem “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock” has often been read as a thoroughly cynical assessment of the modern individual and community. This totalizing portrayal misses the poem’s ability to serve as a foil to a more ideal community. If Eliot is so ill-disposed to the timid, fragile Prufrock and his shallow, ostentatious social network, then Eliot must believe in the essence of a better community. We may look to one of Eliot’s intellectual mentors, Josiah Royce, for his philosophy of community, which stands as an ideal inverse in relation to the Prufrockian community. After examining …
Work-Life Balance In A Medical Unit Of U.S. Army Reservists: An Exploratory Study, Elizabeth A. Kleitz, Madelyn Huhn
Work-Life Balance In A Medical Unit Of U.S. Army Reservists: An Exploratory Study, Elizabeth A. Kleitz, Madelyn Huhn
Butler Journal of Undergraduate Research
Work-family life balance influences employee job satisfaction and quality of life. When work and family life are in balance, employees perform at higher levels and have fewer health problems. U.S. Army Reservists in both civilian and Reserve medical occupations may face work-life balance conflicts from both their full-time/ civilian and part-time/military medical occupations. Army Reservists in a medical unit were surveyed about their work-family life balance behaviors using the Work–Life Climate Scale in an exploratory cross-sectional study. Most reported rarely experiencing work-life conflict behaviors; however, many also reported that they worked late three to seven days of the week. Long …
Discrimination By Association: The Role Of Race And Exoneration In Hiring Decisions, Emma Bergquist
Discrimination By Association: The Role Of Race And Exoneration In Hiring Decisions, Emma Bergquist
Butler Journal of Undergraduate Research
People convicted of felonies are often discriminated against when applying for jobs after prison (Mikkelson & Schweitzer, 2019). Interestingly, exonerated individuals are also discriminated against upon their release, even though they were wrongfully convicted. To date, there has been no direct comparison of the discrimination between these two groups when they are applying for jobs. The present study closes this gap by comparing the application strength of candidates with varying categories of race, legal status, and community support. We collected data from 299 CloudResearch participants online and presented them with job application materials that they evaluated as if they were …
