Political Culture: An Unexplored Factor In Climate Change Diplomacy, Alexander Suen
Political Culture: An Unexplored Factor In Climate Change Diplomacy, Alexander Suen
Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)
As climate change continues to ravage the world, mitigation efforts continue to be insufficient to rise to the challenge. Inaction on climate change has been traditionally explained by economic incentives, but some of the variability in climate policies cannot be explained by economics alone. Some variations could be accounted for by the deeply rooted national political culture of Anglo-settler colonies. This political culture may inhibit the willingness of such states to cooperate on climate change. In this dissertation, I describe the political philosophy of the Anglo-settler colony, and the histories of domination of its white settlers over the indigenous peoples …
Adrift In Uncharted Waters: A Case Study Of A Muslim Family Involved With Child Protection Services In Ontario, Bibi Baksh
Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)
This dissertation sought to understand how Muslims experience mandated child protection services in Ontario within the Canadian (and specifically, Ontarian) socio-political context. Ongoing experiences of racism, xenophobia, and Islamophobia within systems that intersect with child welfare, including schools and the criminal justice system, have compounding effects on Muslim families who are singled out politically and socially. Drawing from trends in child welfare literature, policy initiatives, and practices that consider the system’s impacts upon racialized peoples, this research contributes to the discourse by highlighting religious diversity as an under-investigated source of discrimination. Set against systemic challenges inherent in the child protection …
A Grounded Theory Exploration Of The Changing Dynamic In Mission Among Pentecostals In Ontario: The Emergence Of Humanitarianism., Todd Manuel
Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)
Abstract
This dissertation explores the changing nature of mission among Pentecostal churches in Ontario. The findings of this grounded theory qualitative research project suggest that mission in those Pentecostal churches in Ontario under review have switched the priority of the juxtaposed foci of salvific and humanitarian such that the latter is now their primary means for expressing mission.
Christianity is a mission-oriented faith tradition. Throughout history, it is the case that the church’s understanding and expression of mission has adjusted and adapted according to the context and culture it has found itself in. In the ever changing religious and cultural …
Adaptive Capacity And Mobility In The Bahamas: Examining The Social Costs Of Displacement In Response To Hurricane Dorian, Kearney Coupland
Adaptive Capacity And Mobility In The Bahamas: Examining The Social Costs Of Displacement In Response To Hurricane Dorian, Kearney Coupland
Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)
In 2021, over 30 million people were displaced by disasters, most of which were weather related and nearly half of which were the result of storms. While research on disaster displacement has provided broad observations of post-hurricane human mobility and the socioeconomic and demographic characteristics that influence displacement, few studies examine the factors that influence household mobility decisions after a disaster. My dissertation uses a primarily qualitative research approach to empirically investigate the relationship between mobility and the capacity of displaced households to cope and adapt to the impacts of hurricanes through a detailed examination of Hurricane Dorian displacement in …

The “Black Experience” As Preparation For Participation In Global Partnerships, Cynthia A. Talley
The “Black Experience” As Preparation For Participation In Global Partnerships, Cynthia A. Talley
The Asbury Journal
The lived experiences of African Americans, along with their reliance on God, serve as preparation for participation in global mission partnerships. The “Black Experience,” characterized by suffering, dehumanization, violence, and survival has provided the African American community with a toolkit that can be used to teach others how to survive their own suffering as they too rely on God. Long-term African American missionaries have sent out a clarion call requesting that the African American church step up to the plate and join them in spreading the Gospel message “in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends …
Echoes Of Jesus’ Cross In Second Corinthians 12:7–10, Kei Hiramatsu
Echoes Of Jesus’ Cross In Second Corinthians 12:7–10, Kei Hiramatsu
The Asbury Journal
One of the thorniest exegetical questions in Pauline literature involves the apostle's story of a thorn in the flesh. Interpreters have often attempted to fathom the meaning of the passage by gleaning insights from historical backdrops. However, in doing so, they have overlooked clues that lie much closer at hand, namely, Jesus’ Passion tradition. Therefore, in this article, I attempt to show that Paul crafted the story of his thorn in light of Jesus’ Passion. Based on analyses of linguistics, intertextuality, and literary context, I explore three significant echoes of Jesus' cross in 2 Cor 12:7–10: thorn of the flesh, …
Bringing Evidence To The “Anti-Magic” View: A Socio-Rhetorical Interpretation Of Acts 19:11-20, Joy Vaughan
Bringing Evidence To The “Anti-Magic” View: A Socio-Rhetorical Interpretation Of Acts 19:11-20, Joy Vaughan
The Asbury Journal
In Acts 19:11-20 two main events are set beside one another. The first event tells of the miracles performed by God through the hands of Paul. The second event is the story of the failed exorcism attempt by the sons of Sceva. This article argues that Luke’s purpose in the juxtaposition of the two events is to clarify for the audience the difference between magic and miracle. Key evidence for this interpretation is found in the intertextual relationship between Luke’s terminology and ancient magical literature. Additionally, the rhetorical feature of synkrisis (encomium/invective) further supports the thesis. Luke does not just …
Gendered Self-Views Across 62 Countries: A Test Of Competing Models, Natasza Kosakowska-Berezecka, Jennifer K. Bosson, Pawel Jurek, Eric Mankowski, Multiple Additional Authors
Gendered Self-Views Across 62 Countries: A Test Of Competing Models, Natasza Kosakowska-Berezecka, Jennifer K. Bosson, Pawel Jurek, Eric Mankowski, Multiple Additional Authors
Psychology Faculty Publications and Presentations
Social role theory posits that binary gender gaps in agency and communion should be larger in less egalitarian countries, reflecting these countries’ more pronounced sex-based power divisions. Conversely, evolutionary and self-construal theorists suggest that gender gaps in agency and communion should be larger in more egalitarian countries, reflecting the greater autonomy support and flexible self-construction processes present in these countries. Using data from 62 countries (N = 28,640), we examine binary gender gaps in agentic and communal self-views as a function of country-level objective gender equality (the Global Gender Gap Index) and subjective distributions of social power (the Power …
“Someone You Love” Documentary: Using Narratives In Entertainment Media To Increase Hpv Vaccination In Georgia, Gabrielle C. Darville- Sanders, Jann Macinnes, Kelsey Schwarz
“Someone You Love” Documentary: Using Narratives In Entertainment Media To Increase Hpv Vaccination In Georgia, Gabrielle C. Darville- Sanders, Jann Macinnes, Kelsey Schwarz
Journal of the Georgia Public Health Association
Background: Although HPV is the most common sexually transmitted disease in the United States, vaccination rates are still lagging among adolescents and young adults. Entertainment-education is a popular strategy for incorporating educational messages into entertainment media. With popular shows on television now integrating health messages into their narrative, there are more opportunities to influence knowledge, attitude and health behaviors. Objective: To (a) determine the effectiveness of the HPV narrative included in the “Someone You love” documentary on HPV risk perception, vaccine self-efficacy and behavioral intention for HPV vaccine uptake on college students and (b) assess the immediate impact of the …
Not Just The Historians: Anne Orford’S Insights And The Suspicion Between International Law And Philosophy, Steven R. Ratner
Not Just The Historians: Anne Orford’S Insights And The Suspicion Between International Law And Philosophy, Steven R. Ratner
Articles
International Law and the Politics of History is nothing short of cri de coeur directed at international lawyers and historians, the two disciplinary co-conspirators in international law's so-called turn to history. Rather than embracing what appears to be a mutually beneficial model of interdisciplinary collaboration, Anne Orford instead sees international lawyers as evading their responsibilities as decisionmakers-and indeed makers of both the discipline and its underlying norms-and historians as self-satisfied purveyors of truths that they themselves know are contested and instrumental. As much as she blames historians for acting with blinders, her main audience is international lawyers (mostly the academic …
Understanding The Role Of Home Community Environments In Shaping First-Generation Jamaican University Students’ Access And Persistence In Higher Education: Using Liming And Photovoice Methodologies, Shenhaye C. Ferguson
Understanding The Role Of Home Community Environments In Shaping First-Generation Jamaican University Students’ Access And Persistence In Higher Education: Using Liming And Photovoice Methodologies, Shenhaye C. Ferguson
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
There are 15 national outcomes as part of Jamaica’s strategic goals for Vision 2030. Among the 15, the second outcome focuses on world-class education and training, the fifth looks at security and safety, and the fifteenth addresses sustainable urban and rural development (Vision 2030, 2018). First-generation Jamaican students represent a fraction of the Vision 2030 discussion around increasing access to higher education, eliminating crime and violence, poverty, and creating safe community environments. Accordingly, in (post)colonial Jamaica, challenges faced by first-generation students are compounded (Roofe et al., 2022). While many first-generation students attend universities in Jamaica, local studies examining first-generation students …

Multilayered Agency And Religion: A Study Of The Catholic Bishops Conference Of The Philippines (1986–1998), Christian Santos
Multilayered Agency And Religion: A Study Of The Catholic Bishops Conference Of The Philippines (1986–1998), Christian Santos
Theses
The present thesis examines the core issue of how to understand and situate the agency of a religious actor in International Relations (IR). This is investigated through a case study of the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) in two comparative policy contexts: agrarian land reform and family planning. The CBCP is a permanent institution within the Catholic Church as a collective of the bishops of the Philippines. The research employs analytic eclecticism as the method to integrate select works from four principal scholars: Colin Wight, Adrian Pabst, Atalia Omer and Mariano Barbato. Wight’s tripartite multilayered framework of agency …

Supreme Court Legitimacy: A Turn To Constitutional Practice, Thomas G. Donnelly
Supreme Court Legitimacy: A Turn To Constitutional Practice, Thomas G. Donnelly
Law Faculty Publications
Commentators offer the Justices consistent—if unsolicited—advice: tend to the Supreme Court’s institutional legitimacy. However, to say this—without saying more—is to say very little. Of course, constitutional theorists already wrestle with the meaning of legitimacy—its contours, its complexity, and its influence on the Justices. Political scientists debate the relationship between institutional concerns and judicial behavior. At the same time, previous scholars largely ignore issues of constitutional practice. This is a mistake. In this Article, I take up this neglected topic. To that end, I detail how the individual Justice might work to bolster the Court’s legitimacy in concrete cases. Part of …

Effective online interaction is beyond interacting with whomever. The quality of social interconnectivity matters. Social presence plays a vital role in building an effective online learning community. This study empirically examined: how online social presence will predict various aspects of students’ social interconnectivities (i.e., in-degree, out-degree, betweenness centrality, closeness centrality, eigenvector centrality, reciprocated vertex pair ratio, & PageRank) in the social network of discussion board within an online course? The predictive utility of social presence for all social network interconnectivity was supported, but reciprocated vertex pair ratio, so-called two-way interconnectivity was not. Social presence serves as a strong predictor for …
The Antecedents Of Program Satisfaction And Program Loyalty For Hotel Reward Programs, Jill Plumer
The Antecedents Of Program Satisfaction And Program Loyalty For Hotel Reward Programs, Jill Plumer
Electronic Theses and Dissertations, 2020-2023
Hotel reward programs have been in existence for three decades. These programs were originally established as a customer relationship management tool to reward loyal guests for their patronage. Over time, there have been indications that the programs that are intended to inspire loyalty to the company have actually inspired loyalty to the program itself. The aim of this study was to analyze the antecedents of program satisfaction and program loyalty in hotels to determine the relationship between the program attributes and the impact on program loyalty. Switching costs were also analyzed to determine if they played a moderating role in …
Mediation And Moderation Analyses Investigating Marijuana Use Among Lgb Adults, Traccy Martins
Mediation And Moderation Analyses Investigating Marijuana Use Among Lgb Adults, Traccy Martins
Electronic Theses and Dissertations, 2020-2023
With marijuana use being at an all-time high, it is important to further analyze the factors associated with use. Utilizing the 2015-2019 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (N=205,083), the current study assesses marijuana use among LGB adults, as well as possible mediating (health-related measures) and moderating (criminal legal system exposure) factors. Findings using a chi-square analysis showed that overall, bisexual and lesbian/gay adults were more likely to use marijuana, while those who reported "not sure" were less likely to use. For the mediation analysis, when health measures were introduced to the logistic regression model, the outcome remained the …

Motivated Science: What Humans Gain From Denying Animal Sentience, Uri Lifshin
Motivated Science: What Humans Gain From Denying Animal Sentience, Uri Lifshin
Animal Sentience
Resistance to the idea that non-human animals are sentient resembles erstwhile resistance to the theory that the earth is not the centre of the universe, or that humans evolved from “apes”. All these notions are psychologically threatening. They can remind people of their own creatureliness and mortality and might make them feel guilty or uncertain about their way of life. An honest debate over animal sentience, welfare and rights should consider the human motivation to deprive animals of these things in the first place. I briefly review empirical evidence on the psychological function of denying animal minds.

วิทยานิพนธ์ฉบับนี้ได้ทำการศึกษา “มาตรการรอการกำหนดโทษและรอการลงโทษจำคุกเพื่อป้องกันสังคม” โดยมีวัตถุประสงค์เพื่อนำเสนอรูปแบบมาตรการรอการกำหนดโทษและรอการลงโทษจำคุกที่ควรจะเป็นเพื่อป้องกันสังคม จากการศึกษาพบว่า มาตรการรอการกำหนดโทษและรอการลงโทษจำคุกในส่วนของมาตรา 56 และมาตรา 57 แห่งประมวลกฎหมายอาญา และกรณีอื่น ๆ ยังไม่มีความสมดุลระหว่างประโยชน์ของผู้เสียหายและความปลอดภัยของสังคมกับสิทธิ เสรีภาพ และโอกาสของผู้กระทำความผิด โดยเฉพาะอย่างยิ่งยังไม่มีความสมดุลระหว่างความปลอดภัยของสังคมตามหลักป้องกันสังคม (social protection principle) กับสิทธิ เสรีภาพ และโอกาสของผู้กระทำความผิด สาเหตุหลักที่ทำให้เกิดปัญหาความไม่สมดุลดังกล่าวข้างต้นขึ้นมาคือ ณ ปัจจุบันกระบวนทัศน์หลัก (major paradigm) เกี่ยวกับมาตรการนี้ยังคงอยู่ในยุครัฐสวัสดิการ (welfare state era) ที่สิทธิ เสรีภาพ และโอกาสของผู้กระทำความผิดในกระบวนการยุติธรรมทางอาญาได้เฟื่องฟูเป็นอย่างมาก ซึ่งเป็นกรณีที่มาตรการนี้ได้คำนึงถึง “สิทธิ เสรีภาพ และโอกาสของผู้กระทำความผิด” เป็นสำคัญ ส่งผลให้มาตรการนี้ทั้งในด้านบทบัญญัติ (law) และการปรับใช้บทบัญญัติ (application of law) ตั้งอยู่บนฐานความคิดของสิทธิ เสรีภาพ และโอกาสของผู้กระทำความผิดเป็นหลัก สภาวะเช่นนี้จึงก่อให้เกิดผลกระทบที่สำคัญตามมาคือ “ความไม่ปลอดภัยแก่สังคม” วิทยานิพนธ์ฉบับนี้ได้ให้ข้อเสนอแนะว่า ควรปรับเปลี่ยนกระบวนทัศน์หลักเกี่ยวกับมาตรการรอการกำหนดโทษและรอการลงโทษจำคุกจากยุครัฐสวัสดิการสู่ยุคสังคมแห่งความเสี่ยง (social era of risk) ที่วงการนิติศาสตร์ได้มีการตั้งข้อสังเกต ตระหนัก และให้ความสำคัญกับความเสี่ยงอันเป็นผลมาจากการมีอยู่และการปรับใช้มาตรการนี้อย่างจริงจังเนื่องจากนักนิติศาสตร์มีความวิตกกังวลว่าผลที่เป็นภยันตราย (การประกอบอาชญากรรม) จากการมีอยู่และการปรับใช้มาตรการนี้จะเกิดขึ้นกับตนเอง ประชาชน และ/หรือสังคม ซึ่งเป็นกรณีที่มาตรการนี้ได้คำนึงถึง “ความปลอดภัยของสังคม” เป็นสำคัญ ส่งผลให้มาตรการนี้ทั้งในด้านบทบัญญัติและการปรับใช้บทบัญญัติจะตั้งอยู่บนฐานความคิดของการป้องกันสังคมตามหลักป้องกันสังคมเป็นหลัก เพื่อจำกัด ควบคุม และป้องกันไม่ให้เกิดการประกอบอาชญากรรมขึ้นในอนาคต สภาวะเช่นนี้ย่อมก่อให้เกิดผลดีตามมาคือ “ความปลอดภัยแก่สังคม” นอกจากข้อเสนอแนะดังกล่าวข้างต้นแล้ว วิทยานิพนธ์ฉบับนี้ได้นำเสนอรูปแบบมาตรการนี้ที่ควรจะเป็นเพื่อป้องกันสังคม ซึ่งหากมีการนำรูปแบบดังกล่าวข้างต้นไปปรับใช้ จะช่วยสร้างความปลอดภัยแก่สังคมมากยิ่งขึ้น

Changing Age Segregation In The Us: 1990 To 2010, Debasree Das Gupta, David W. S. Wong
Changing Age Segregation In The Us: 1990 To 2010, Debasree Das Gupta, David W. S. Wong
Kinesiology and Health Science Faculty Publications
Age segregation adversely impacts health and wellbeing. Prior studies, although limited, report increasing age segregation of the US. However, these studies are dated, do not comprehensively examine the spatiotemporal patterns and the correlates of intergenerational segregation, or suffer from methodological limitations. To address these gaps, we assess the spatiotemporal patterns of age segregation between 1990 and 2010 using census-tract data to compute the dissimilarity index (D) at the national, state, and county levels. Results contradict previous findings providing robust evidence of decreasing age segregation for most parts of the country and across geographical levels. We also examine factors explaining adult-older …
Interconstituted Legal Agents, Christian Turner
Interconstituted Legal Agents, Christian Turner
Scholarly Works
Legal theory and doctrine depend on underlying assumptions about human nature and sociality. Perhaps the most common and basic assumption is that we are separate persons who communicate imperfectly with one another. While this separation thesis has been questioned, it still dominates legal theory. However, I show that understanding separation and connection as alternative perspectives, rather than as ontologically true or false, reveals that legal conflict often arises when these perspectives give rise to clashing intuitions concerning the meaning of community and what constitutes goals and harms. This Article organizes perspectives on social relationships in increasing order of intersubjectivity: isolation, …
