Mental Health Awareness: Identify, Understand, Respond, Anita Boutwell

Group: Samford University Moffett & Sanders School of Nursing

Mental health awareness in community colleges is emerging as a critical concern with the increase in depression and anxiety among the students they serve. Rural colleges often serve a diverse population, many of whom have socioeconomic challenges, including financial instability and family responsibility. Within the State of Alabama, approximately 24.3% of young adults receiving Medicaid were diagnosed with depression and 61.8% did not receive any mental health care in 2020 (State of Alabama Public Health, 2022). In addition, Alabama’s suicide rate among young adults is ranked 13% above the national rate (Center for Disease Control and Prevention, 2024)

Retracted: Data Envelopment Analysis Using Stochastic Frontier Analysis And Bootstrap Confidence Intervals, Fahad F. Alqahtani

Iraqi Journal for Computer Science and Mathematics

Evaluating company growth potential has moved away from traditional financial focused ratios and ratios analysis that has origins in the early twentieth-century economics. However, these conventional methods might not be accurate in measuring such efficient factors as this combined proposed framework of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and improved mathematical models do. The present research focuses on the prospect of growth of companies through evaluating the performance of 40 DMUs in terms of efficiency DEA and MMTs. DEA is used to determine the efficient DMUs while SFA underline the factors such as investment on research and development, effective marketing strategies and …

Realistik Heaven, Alexa H. Senan

Theses and Dissertations

“Realistik Heaven” processes the traumas, forced transformations and the cannibalization of womanhood and culture as a result of colonization. Inspired by Oswald de Andrade’s Cannibalist Manifesto, Senan writes to evoke the literal meaning of Andrade’s description of the cannibalization of culture and having to become someone new cannibalizing themselves while still longing for the remains of the past.

Clod & Pebble, Ian Myers

Theses and Dissertations

What does Painting— its act, like a search; or material— have to do with truth? Probably nothing. Or what does it matter, or why ask? To Paint is to dig— deep! wide! to excavate! but in a busy park, and— now, look! you’ve ruined the softball game. Using the material conventions of early Christian icon painting— rabbit-skin gesso, viscous egg medium suspending ground pigments— the layers of my paintings accumulate like sediment. The surface is dredged, scraped back, leaving striations like stone and refined in search of light; space; revelation! or, piled high again, over and over.

Ontological Exhaustion And Metabolic Affect, Katelyn Reece Farstad

Theses and Dissertations

Ontological Exhaustion and Metabolic Affect explores the artistic practice of Katelyn Reece Farstad through the logic, physiology, and spiritual symbolism of the housefly. This body of work draws from personal experience with neurological trauma, mapping how perception fractures, reorients, and reforms in the wake of psychic rupture. The housefly—erratic, hyper-attuned, maligned—becomes both method and metaphor. Its larval state mirrors the latency of neuroplastic healing; its compound vision reflects perceptual multiplicity; its obsessive return to sites of decay parallels the recursive nature of memory and loss.
