The Search For Spatial Theories: On The Role Of Conceptual And Computational Models In Geographic Research, Daniel A. Griffith Apr 2025

The Search For Spatial Theories: On The Role Of Conceptual And Computational Models In Geographic Research, Daniel A. Griffith

The Geographical Bulletin

At present academic inquiry is guided by various research paradigms, the most popular ones being those affiliated with metaphysics, phenomenology and positivism, while the literature to date lacks an explicit structural typology identifying and interrelating these formats. As a result, numerous peculiar classification schemes have been created. For example, Kerlinger indicates that reesearch in general is comprised of three different modes, namely behavioral, historical and methodological~ Harvey, following ' Hempel, distinguishes between deductive-nomological and inductive-systematization, viewing the hypothetico-deductive system as a special case of this former type2 Olsson talks about formal as opposed to substantive research~ And Relph, exemplifying a …

Learning Topographic Map Use Through Simulation, Russell L. Stubbles Apr 2025

Learning Topographic Map Use Through Simulation, Russell L. Stubbles

The Geographical Bulletin

A simulation game designed to facilitate learning to read and to use topographic maps was tested among sample groups of college undergraduates and high school seniors. The board game, "Natural Disaster," permits two to four students to participate in property location decisions, based on their understanding of natural hazards which are to be inferred from the topographic map's contours and locations of particular places. A randomizing procedure assigned the students to one of two treatments, the simulation game or a lecture-discussion, both of which covered the same substantive material. After pretesting, the appropriate treatments were administered to the students, and …


The Mormon State Of Deseret: A Study In Political Geography, Lawrence R. Handley Apr 2025

The Mormon State Of Deseret: A Study In Political Geography, Lawrence R. Handley

The Geographical Bulletin

On July 24, 1847, the vanguard of the Mormon migration reached the valley of the Great Salt Lake. By December, 1849, the Mormon population had increased to over 8,000, and was spread over 26 settlements from Ft. Bridger west to near Carson City, and from Ogden south to Manti. Within two and a half years the Mormons had established the foundation of their theo-democratic kingdom in the Great Basin. This presentation will deal with the Mormon's expansion between 1847 and 1851, and the political unit, the "territory" and "state" of Deseret, that was an attempt to claim the Great Basin …

Charity Begins At Home: A Case Study Of Rural Western Pennsylvania During The Great Depression, Jacob A. Battle, Colin J. Wood, Christian E. Mumpower Apr 2025

Charity Begins At Home: A Case Study Of Rural Western Pennsylvania During The Great Depression, Jacob A. Battle, Colin J. Wood, Christian E. Mumpower

Bound Away: The Liberty Journal of History

Rural Pennsylvania is often neglected when discussing the world-shaping events of the Great Depression. This study addresses a significant gap in historical research by exploring how a small-town in Pennsylvania, New Bethlehem, survived and even thrived during the Great Depression. New Bethlehem, situated in the fertile Redbank Valley, built its settlement on local resources and rural communalism. During the Depression, the townsfolk banded together through wealthy philanthropy, backyard gardens, and homegrown charity to withstand the crippling implications of the event. By examining church records, newspaper archives, and conducting oral interviews, this article reveals the resilience and resourcefulness of rural Pennsylvanian …


To The Shores Of Tripoli: America’S First Crusade To Cement Her Sovereignty, I. B. Landry Apr 2025

To The Shores Of Tripoli: America’S First Crusade To Cement Her Sovereignty, I. B. Landry

Bound Away: The Liberty Journal of History

The First Barbary War, also known as the Tripolitan War, is the conflict that set the tone for American sovereignty. The results of this research show that the Tripolitan War was about more than simply America’s right to exercise trade freely in the Mediterranean and North Africa. This was, in a sense, the litmus test for the new nation that would prove to be challenging to its Christian values. It can be concluded that Thomas Jefferson sanctioned the Augustinian campaign to not only benefit America, but all parties wishing to operate in the Mediterranean freely.


Histography: Gerald Ford And The Pardon Of Nixon, Joshua Longmire Phd Apr 2025

Histography: Gerald Ford And The Pardon Of Nixon, Joshua Longmire Phd

Bound Away: The Liberty Journal of History

In the annals of American political discourse, President Gerald Ford's decision on September 8, 1974, to grant his predecessor, Richard Nixon, a presidential pardon emerges as a watershed moment. This act insulated Nixon—who was deeply entangled in the intricate web of the Watergate scandal—from prospective criminal prosecution. It represented a significant departure from the anticipated legal processes, especially in the immediate aftermath of Ford's unexpected elevation to the presidency following Nixon's precipitous resignation amidst impending impeachment. This essay seeks to navigate the evolving historiographical landscape of Ford's pardon. It delineates the trajectory from initial critiques to the multifaceted discourses of …

Enhancing Provider Knowledge With Phq-9 Education, Laurette Abunaw Apr 2025

Enhancing Provider Knowledge With Phq-9 Education, Laurette Abunaw

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

Depression represents a significant public health concern that often remains undiagnosed or untreated, primarily due to insufficient systematic screening in primary care settings. The lack of standardized screening tools such as the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) elevates patient risks, increasing symptom severity, increasing suicide rates, and delaying interventions. Research studies show that a significant number of individuals with depression go untreated for long durations, with primary care settings recognizing only a small percentage of cases. The PHQ-9 is an effective tool for assessing and monitoring depression in a primary care setting, leading to early detection of symptom severity. Clinical practice …

Conversation In My Parlor About Climate Change And The Call To Thoughtful Service By Lawyers With Disabilities, Gary Norman Esq. Llm

Journal of Law and Health

Pope John Paul II penned, "So much of our world seems to be in fragments, in disjointed pieces." Experts admonish that an irreparable threshold of 1.5°C for global temperatures is not a theoretical remonstrance but an imminent imperative. Is this true? This article will explore if climate change exists. I will thoughtfully respond to this question in the affirmative, exploring center-based solutions. Specifically, this article will urge that these great United States require a new generation of leaders who can embody the energy of a Brother President Theodore Roosevelt, who possesses the eloquence of President John Kennedy, and who, like …
