Challenging The Dominant Representation Of Immigrant Latinas In The United States: A Qualitative Analysis Of The Personal Stories Of Latina Pioneers From The 1950-1970s, Scarlett Rodriguez Jan 2021

Challenging The Dominant Representation Of Immigrant Latinas In The United States: A Qualitative Analysis Of The Personal Stories Of Latina Pioneers From The 1950-1970s, Scarlett Rodriguez

Research Papers

The dominant representations of Latinx immigrants in the U.S. media do a disservice to the humanity of this group and overwhelmingly depict them in negative ways. This paper is an effort to counter these narratives and humanize the experiences of Latina immigrants. Specifically, it explores and analyzes four personal narratives from Latina women who migrated to the United States between 1950-1970s. The methodological approach in this report is qualitative and interpretive analysis, using open and axial coding. The author discusses how identities are constructed and shaped by the experiences of immigration, and connects it to extant research on power, coloniality, …


Automated Actuator Lubing Station, Logan Haid, Heather Sommers, Joshua Cummings, John Maly Jan 2021

Automated Actuator Lubing Station, Logan Haid, Heather Sommers, Joshua Cummings, John Maly

Williams Honors College, Honors Research Projects

For our senior design project, we partnered with Swagelok to create a working prototype of an automatic lubrication system that would allow for consistent application of a lubricant dispersed on the inside of a Swagelok-manufactured part. This device needed to be simple enough in design and operation so that Swagelok operators could properly lubricate the specific area on the inside of an actuator on a routine basis. The device created has a cylindrical housing that, when loaded with an actuator, will stabilize the part as a pneumatic cylinder drives a lubricant-dispensing head up into the actuator. As the cylinder retracts, …

Journalists' Framing Of Terrorist Attacks And Audience Reaction: A Longitudinal Case Study Of The Boston Globe, Seseer Prudence Mou-Danha Jan 2021

Journalists' Framing Of Terrorist Attacks And Audience Reaction: A Longitudinal Case Study Of The Boston Globe, Seseer Prudence Mou-Danha

Communication

This study aimed to elaborate on the presentation of news about the Boston Marathon bombing on The Boston Globe’s Facebook page and people’s reaction to it. A social crisis such as this invites people’s attention to online news sources for seeking details. Reports presented by journalists can encourage, elicit fear, strengthen communities, and/or foster cooperation. As much as journalists try to be objective in their reporting, the ways in which they frame a story can influence audiences’ responses. The primary objective of this study was to understand how news frames align with audience response. The analyses of news posts and …


Sorority And Fraternity Life: Examining Racial Discourse Via Institutional Websites, Crystal E. Garcia, William Walker, Samantha E. Bradley, Kathleen Smith Jan 2021

Sorority And Fraternity Life: Examining Racial Discourse Via Institutional Websites, Crystal E. Garcia, William Walker, Samantha E. Bradley, Kathleen Smith

Department of Educational Administration: Faculty Publications

Scholarship has provided some insight into inequities that exist within sorority and fraternity life (SFL), whereas members of culturally based sororities and fraternities within Multicultural Greek Councils (MGC) and National Pan-Hellenic Councils (NPHC) report being treated as inferior to those in historically white organizations. However, few studies have examined institutional efforts to render culturally based sororities and fraternities visible to campus communities. This qualitative critical discourse analysis examined how SFL offices at 18 research universities in the southeastern United States communicated information about councils through institutional SFL web pages. Findings show that few communities attempted to represent council information equally, …


What’S In A Photograph? The Perspectives Of Composition Experts On Factors Impacting Visual Scene Display Complexity For Augmentative And Alternative Communication And Strategies For Improving Visual Communication, Kevin Pitt, John W. Mccarthy Jan 2021

What’S In A Photograph? The Perspectives Of Composition Experts On Factors Impacting Visual Scene Display Complexity For Augmentative And Alternative Communication And Strategies For Improving Visual Communication, Kevin Pitt, John W. Mccarthy

Department of Special Education and Communication Disorders: Faculty Publications

Purpose: Visual scene displays (VSDs) can support augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) success for children and adults with complex communication needs. Static VSDs incorporate contextual photographs that include meaningful events, places, and people. Although the processing of VSDs has been studied, their power as a medium to effectively convey meaning may benefit from the perspective of individuals who regularly engage in visual storytelling. The aim of this study was to evaluate the perspectives of individuals with expertise in photographic and/or artistic composition regarding factors contributing to VSD complexity and how to limit the time and effort required to apply principles …

Untitled, Lihua Yu

Theses and Dissertations

The library stores up my favorite memories. Sometimes I look for a book by its title, author or publisher, sometimes by its designer; other times I just wander around different sections and enjoy encountering books by chance. As an object, a book is eternal while I am a passer-by. I believe in the connection between people who read the same books and watch same films with me. This untitled book is a thankful catalog, documented in a straightfoward way


Virtual Group Advising: Engaging In Alternative Advising Strategies To Support Students Amid A Global Pandemic, Bethany Geiseman Jan 2021

Virtual Group Advising: Engaging In Alternative Advising Strategies To Support Students Amid A Global Pandemic, Bethany Geiseman

Graduate Research Theses & Dissertations

Considering the evolving needs of non-traditional students and the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, it has become more critical to explore the use of technology in advising. This study aimed to explore the experiences of students who participated in virtual group advising and examined the dynamics of this virtual group setting related to student preparedness and engagement. Three themes that emerged during data analysis were a) increased feelings of academic preparedness, b) increased social interaction among peers during and after advising, and c) positive perceptions of using technology during advising. This study found that while virtual group advising may not …

The Primary Care Provider’S Role In Screening And Intervening In The Human Trafficking Of Adolescents: A Systematic Literature Review, Brittany Schmid Jan 2021

The Primary Care Provider’S Role In Screening And Intervening In The Human Trafficking Of Adolescents: A Systematic Literature Review, Brittany Schmid

All Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Other Capstone Projects

Human trafficking (HT) is a growing concern within the United States (U.S.) and internationally. With the alarming number of HT victims presenting for medical care, primary care providers (PCPs) are in a unique and privileged position to encounter HT victims within the healthcare system. Adolescents, in particular, are vulnerable to HT because of minimal life experiences, inadequate social support, and limited coping mechanisms (Ertl et al., 2020). Failure to recognize and intervene in cases involving HT victims who are minors is detrimental to the individual’s health, wellbeing, and safety. With the assistance of education and training, community resources, guideline adoption, …


Bridging The Gaps: Literacy, Media Literacy Education, And Critical Digital Social Work, Gianna Cappello Jan 2021

Bridging The Gaps: Literacy, Media Literacy Education, And Critical Digital Social Work, Gianna Cappello

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

Drawing from literacy studies and research in media literacy education, this article contends that a series of conceptual gaps need to be bridged in order to have a better understanding of how these traditions can contribute to redefining the field of digital social work. The field of digital social work should move towards a more critical-oriented dimension so that digital media and the internet should not simply be considered (as it is often the case), as mere tools to improve the professionality of social workers, but rather as life environments and systems of representation shaping individuals’ identities and social relationships.


Dynamic Biomechanical Characteristics Of The Optic Nerve Head By Oct Imaging, Jihee Kim Jan 2021

Dynamic Biomechanical Characteristics Of The Optic Nerve Head By Oct Imaging, Jihee Kim

All ETDs from UAB

Approximately 80 million people in the world were estimated to suffer from glaucoma in 2020. To date, lowering intraocular pressure (IOP) is the only clinical treatment to delay or prevent the development and progression of glaucomatous vision loss. However, many glaucoma patients have IOP in the normal range, while some people with abnormally high pressure do not develop neuropathy. This indicates that biomechanical responses of the optic nerve head (ONH) to changes in IOP can vary significantly among individuals. This study investigated acute IOP-induced compliance in the ONH via SDOCT imaging, using computer vision, and deep learning networks to improve …


The Outcomes Of Fifth-Grade Emergent Bi/Multilinguals’ Introduction To A Visual Metalanguage When Constructing Scientific Explanations In Hong Kong, Melanie Williams, Kok-Sing Tang Jan 2021

The Outcomes Of Fifth-Grade Emergent Bi/Multilinguals’ Introduction To A Visual Metalanguage When Constructing Scientific Explanations In Hong Kong, Melanie Williams, Kok-Sing Tang

Research outputs 2014 to 2021

The visual mode provides emergent bi/multilinguals an essential resource to construct scientific explanations. Yet, while a metalanguage is used to describe the written mode of scientific language such as, claim, evidence, reason; there is little research that makes students aware of the metalanguage of a visual mode. We propose an introduction to the visual metalanguage will ensure emergent bi/multilinguals better access to the visual mode. This study employs an instrumental case study to examine the introduction of visual metalanguage to a fifth-grade science class. Two cameras record ten emergent bi/multilinguals as they construct scientific explanations in nine lessons. We use …


Detection And Recognition Of Moving Video Objects: Kalman Filtering With Deep Learning, Hind Rustum Mohammed, Zahir M. Hussain Jan 2021

Detection And Recognition Of Moving Video Objects: Kalman Filtering With Deep Learning, Hind Rustum Mohammed, Zahir M. Hussain

Research outputs 2014 to 2021

© 2021. All rights reserved. Research in object recognition has lately found that Deep Convolutional Neuronal Networks (CNN) provide a breakthrough in detection scores, especially in video applications. This paper presents an approach for object recognition in videos by combining Kalman filter with CNN. Kalman filter is first applied for detection, removing the background and then cropping object. Kalman filtering achieves three important functions: predicting the future location of the object, reducing noise and interference from incorrect detections, and associating multi-objects to tracks. After detection and cropping the moving object, a CNN model will predict the category of object. The …
