Navigating Taiwan's Bilingual 2030 Policy: Unveiling Teachers' Glocalization Efforts And Agency, Ching-Ching Lin, Ming-Hsuan Wu
Journal of Multilingual Education Research
As a strategic initiative aimed to enhance English communication skills and bolster the global competitiveness of the general population, Taiwan’s Bilingual 2030 Policy takes place at the intersection of neoliberalism, globalization, and the global spread of the English language. The neoliberal framing of Taiwan’s language education policy has exerted powerful influences on teacher education, teacher hiring practices, curricular design, assessment, and other school practices. While the neoliberalist influences are prevalent among countries in the Global South, responses and resistance may take many forms embedded in specific sociocultural contexts. The reflection discussed here examines the challenges faced by teachers in Taiwan …

Investigating The Role Of Semi-Public Open Spaces Of Housing Clusters As A Booster Of Social Interaction In Abu Dhabi Neighbourhoods, Mohammad Shuayyat
Thesis/ Dissertation Defenses
This thesis explores the relationship between urban housing cluster configurations, open space design, and social interaction in the context of Emirati neighborhoods, focusing on the Al Salamat area in Al Ain, United Arab Emirates. It aims to investigate how different residential housing cluster types—such as cul-de-sacs, perimeter blocks, linear blocks, and closed-loop configurations—shape the usability and social function of semi-public open spaces. The study integrates theoretical insights from urban planning literature with empirical findings through spatial analysis (using Depth map X), field observations, and semi-structured interviews with residents.
The research adopts a mixed-method case study approach. It begins with a …

A Quantitative Study Teaching De-Escalation With Virtual Reality Simulation To Associate Nursing Students Measuring Effectiveness, Learning, And Confidence, Michele Marbet
Liberty University Research Week
Workplace violence against nurses is a critical global public health issue, with one in four nurses reportedly experiencing physical assault by patients. This quantitative quasi-experimental, pretest-posttest study aimed to assess the effectiveness of virtual reality simulation as a teaching strategy for de-escalation education in associate nursing students (N = 29) perception in learning and confidence. The study utilized the Simulation Effectiveness Tool-Modified (SET-M) instrument to measure outcomes guided by Kolb's experiential learning theory and the NLN Jeffries simulation theory. The learning variable demonstrated significant improvement as confirmed by paired t-test analysis (p < .01). For the effectiveness and confidence variables, which violated assumptions of normality, a comprehensive statistical approach was implemented. Analysis included parametric testing via paired t-tests, supplemented by nonparametric methods (Wilcoxon Signed-ranks test and Sign test) to ensure statistical rigor. The cumulative results across all three statistical tests consistently demonstrated significant improvements (p < .001). Effect size calculations revealed medium to large significance for all variables measured by Cohen’s d. The conclusive findings of this research to reject all three null hypotheses suggest that virtual reality simulation is an effective teaching strategy for developing de-escalation skills, enhancing both learning and confidence among associate nursing students. Future studies are needed to further validate and expand upon the findings of the current research, potentially leading to more widespread adoption of virtual reality simulation in nursing education for teaching de-escalation. Keywords: Nursing education associate degree, de-escalation, virtual reality simulation, work-place violence
Improving The Work-Life Balance Of The High School Marching Band Director: A Case Study, William Holmes
Improving The Work-Life Balance Of The High School Marching Band Director: A Case Study, William Holmes
Liberty University Research Week
Although many studies have been conducted on high school marching bands, research has yet to be completed on the impact of the number of after-school marching band rehearsals. High school band directors frequently rehearse after school to raise student proficiency and perform at a high level for football games, community events, and marching band competitions. Directors who demonstrate high rehearsal efficacy can reduce the number of marching band practices to avoid negatively impacting the lives of the adults and students involved while maintaining student achievement. This qualitative hermeneutic phenomenological case study investigated the effects of reducing the frequency of secondary …

Food Is Medicine - A Preliminary Analysis Of Cardiovascular Disease Programming In Rural Populations, Aariyana Britton
Liberty University Research Week
As the saying goes, “you are what you eat.” Unhealthy diets are a major part in disease onset and prevalence in the United States. Although there is clear knowledge of what is considered a “healthy diet”, most of the population does not consume this on a regular basis. This study investigates the impact of food choices on individuals diagnosed with hypertension and other cardiovascular disorders. Research determines how vital are healthy food choices in combating preventable diseases? (i.e, hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular disease) What we consume as humans play a key role in several bodily functions such as energy expenditure, growth, …

Vernacular: New Connections in Language, Literature, & Culture
C’est à travers les ouvrages À l’ami qui ne m’a pas sauvé (1990) d’Hervé Guibert et Dans ma chambre de Guillaume Dustan que nous essayons de comprendre le monde de ceux qui ont été stigmatisé comme des fléaux de la société. Dans les années quatre-vingt-dix, les recherches avancent pour aider ceux qui sont atteints du SIDA mais seulement quelques-uns réussissent à se faire soigner. Guibert et Dustan nous font revivre leurs moments de désuétude où la société les rejettent. Cette recherche met en avant l’écriture sidéenne qui se veut souvent « crue » et parle par l’intermédiaire du corps qui …
Translation And Migration, Utopia And Dystopia: Representations Of The Labor Of Cultural Mediation In Fictional Eastern Europe And The Real Us-Mexico Border, James L. Richie Iv
Translation And Migration, Utopia And Dystopia: Representations Of The Labor Of Cultural Mediation In Fictional Eastern Europe And The Real Us-Mexico Border, James L. Richie Iv
Vernacular: New Connections in Language, Literature, & Culture
With the publication of Moira Inghilleri’s book, Translation and Migration (2017), the linguistic act of translation and the social phenomenon of migration have been linked in the world of interdisciplinary studies, yet this linkage may obscure the relevance of works in which only one phenomenon (translation or migration) is presented. A case study in which a work exploring migration can be contrasted with a work exploring the function of translation may reveal in one another the social forces that condition both practices. In Lucas Pope’s independently created video game Papers Please (2014), the player embodies a border patrol agent in …

Vernacular: New Connections in Language, Literature, & Culture
Este artículo examinará la “orientalización” de la identidad nacional de España, que resulta de la creación de estereotipos tanto creados en el extranjero como apropiados por la misma España durante el siglo XIX. Específicamente, voy a examinar la influencia de la ópera francesa Carmen de Georges Bizet (1875) en la creación de la imagen nacional española actual en la “Canción del torero” de dicha la producción de Ana Zamora para el Teatro de la Zarzuela de la zarzuela por el mismo nombre (1887) en 2014. Como obra plenamente romántica, hace hincapié en las características de ese movimiento cultura; por ejemplo, …

Portrait Of A Fascist: Identity And Independence In Joseph Roth’S Das Spinnennetz (1923), Braden M. Ross
Vernacular: New Connections in Language, Literature, & Culture
Three days before Hitler’s Beer Hall Putsch, the last chapters of Joseph Roth’s Das Spinnennetz were published in the Viennese Arbeiter-Zeitung. Detailing the decent of World War I veteran Theodor Lohse into the nascent Nazi party, Roth’s novel could not have been more prescient—and yet, it remains the least well-known of his works. Das Spinnennetz is not only a work of great fiction, but an eerie cautionary tale more prophetic than Roth could have ever imagined. In this article, I examine the metaphor of the spider’s web and how ordinary people like Lohse futility navigate their search for individual meaning …

Vernacular: New Connections in Language, Literature, & Culture
La Dispute de Marivaux est avant tout une comédie en prose écrite pour explorer des thèmes tels que la vanité, la psyché humaine et l'amour-propre. Dans cet essai, j'explorerai un aspect souvent négligé de cette pièce—le genre et le sexe—en soutenant que le jeu délibéré de Marivaux avec le langage, l'intrigue et les enjeux de la pièce sont des interventions directes dans le discours sur le genre en tant que construction sociale. S'inspirant de l'ouvrage de Judith Butler "Performative Acts and Gender Constitution : An Essay in Phenomenology and Feminist Theory,” cet essai analyse La Dispute de Marivaux non seulement …

Joseph Haydn: A Biographical And Musical Analysis, Abigail Havener
Liberty University Research Week
After his profound musical abilities became apparent as a child, Joseph Haydn was sent to music school, where his talent and musicianship continued to develop into his teenage years. After being kicked out of St. Stephens at age seventeen, he made a way for himself through small jobs until he landed a position composing for Austrian royalty, which is where many of his greatest works were born out of. Implications can be drawn from a modern musical analysis of the fourth movement of his 88th Symphony that provide insight to his compositional style and genius.

The Impacts And Mitigation Strategies Of Deforestation Globally, Rebecca Martha Nantale, Fredrick Olusegun Akinyosoye, Juan Monteagudo, Maame Yaa Okrah, Nfn Dangpa Wandji Nana
Liberty University Research Week
Deforestation, the permanent removal of forest cover to less than 10% of its original extent, has emerged as a critical global environmental and socio-economic issue. With over 420 million hectares of forest lost since 1990, primarily in tropical rainforests, its consequences are profound and far-reaching. This study examines the primary drivers of deforestation, including agricultural expansion, livestock farming, logging, mining, and urbanization, while analyzing its ecological and social impacts. Ecologically, deforestation accelerates biodiversity loss, disrupts ecosystem services such as carbon sequestration and water regulation, and exacerbates climate change. Socially, it undermines food security, heightens vulnerability to natural disasters, and increases …
