Here Come The Brides: Sylvia Sleigh, Lawrence Alloway, And Hetty Remington, Andrew D. Hottle

Art Inquiries

Sylvia Sleigh (1916–2010), a Welsh-born artist who lived and worked in England before settling in the United States, is known primarily for her uninhibited portraits of nude men, many of which were painted in New York City during the feminist art movement of the 1970s. Over the last half-century, Sleigh’s male nudes have been both admired and derided for disrupting the conventional paradigm of the male artist and unclothed female model. Among them are Philip Golub Reclining (1971; private collection) and The Turkish Bath (1973; David and Alfred Smart Museum of Art, University of Chicago), which were inspired by canonical …

Adrienne L. Childs, Ornamental Blackness: The Black Figure In European Decorative Arts, Brigid M. Boyle

Art Inquiries

Ornamental Blackness by Adrienne L. Childs offers the first comprehensive survey of European luxury and utilitarian objects that treat Black Africans as decorative motifs. Proceeding chronologically from the middle Baroque period to the late nineteenth century, Childs charts the initial production of racialized objects for royal courts and aristocratic households and their later dissemination to middle-class homes. Items such as furniture, light fixtures, clocks, tableware, porcelain figurines, and treasury objects became an apparatus for controlling and fetishizing Black bodies, reinforcing the idea of Black servitude as normal. Many of these objects were crafted from precious natural materials whose extraction and …

On Canvas: The Origins And Implications Of A Common Phrase, Kerr Houston

Art Inquiries

Why do modern art historians and conservators describe paintings executed on cloth in Europe in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries as works on canvas, when late medieval and early Renaissance sources never do the same? This article answers that question by tracing and analyzing the evolution of canvas as a term in the history of painting. Until the late 1400s, it will be argued, the term canvas and its regional variants connoted coarse woven fabrics made of hemp that were associated with rugged, utilitarian needs and rural poverty—but not with painting. By contrast, artists and related texts relied on …

A Bibliography Of Faculty Scholarship, Kathryn J. Dufour Law Library

Scholarly Articles

The purpose of this bibliography is to record in one place the substantial body of scholarship produced by the current faculty at the Catholic University, Columbus School of Law. From its humble beginnings under the tutelage of founding Dean William Callyhan Robinson, through its adolescent period when, like so many other American law schools, it was trying to define its pedagogical niche, to its eventual merger with the Columbus University Law School in 1954, the law school at Catholic University has always retained a scholarly and remarkably productive faculty. The sheer quantity of writing, the breadth of research and the …

Quality Assurance Project Plan - Spokane River Pfas Study, Chad Pritchard

EWU PFAS Research Collection

Assessing the impacts of poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) contamination across multiple aquifers and multiple sources requires a detailed understanding of the hydrogeologic framework to quantifiably determine PFAS sources. The West Plains of eastern Washington is an ideal natural laboratory to study the fate and transport of PFAS because the general geohydrologic framework has been established and collaboration with several related PFAS projects will maximize the use of grant funds. This project will help the population, environment, and commercial entities of the West Plains by building a transport model, delineating PFAS contamination, and using unique PFAS distribution at different locations …

Representation Stability In The Intrinsic Hyperplane Arrangements Associated To Irreducible Representations Of The Symmetric Groups, Ian Flynn, Eric Ramos, Benjamin Young

Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications and Presentations

Some of the most classically relevant Hyperplane arrangements are the Braid Arrangements Bn and their associated compliment spaces Fn. In their recent work, Tsilevich, Vershik, and Yuzvinsky [TVY20] construct what they refer to as the intrinsic hyperplane arrangement within any irreducible representation of the symmetric group that generalize the classical braid arrangements. Through examples it is also shown that the associated compliment spaces to these intrinsic arrangements display behaviors far removed from Fn. In this work we study the intrinsic hyperplane arrangements of irreducible representations of the symmetric group from the perspective of representation stability. This work is both theoretical, …

Institute on Aging Publications

Objectives

To characterize assisted living (AL) direct care worker (DCW) training requirements across the United States and how these regulations have changed over time. Specifically, we examine state-level profiles of training regulations, including duration, frequency, content, source of materials, evaluation, and changes in regulatory coverage.

Design

Cross-sectional and longitudinal descriptive study using state policy data and AL directories from 2019, 2021, and 2023.

Setting and Participants

All US states' AL training–related regulations; all ALs and AL beds governed by those regulations.

Methods

We used a mixed-methods approach with an explanatory sequential design (QUAN → qual), first conducting health services regulatory …

Chapter 6: Dragon's Breath Sauce, Garon C. Smith

G. Wiz’s Book of Spells

Dragon’s Breath Sauce is a collection of fun things to do with liquid nitrogen. The chapter title comes from using the cryogenic fluid to chill Cheetos Puffcorn to -321 degrees Fahrenheit and then eating them at this temperature. When popped in a saliva-moistened mouth, the cold causes the moisture in one’s breath to condense into fog. Breathing out releases a cloud that can be imagined as smoke from a fire-breathing dragon. In addition, liquid nitrogen offers a chance for audience members to briefly immerse their hand in a pool of watery-looking fluid, yet pull it out instantly and completely dry. …

Death By A Thousand Cuts: Thoughts On Protecting Faculty And Staff Morale From Ever-Increasing Administrative Demands, Timothy R. Levine

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

Faculty life is more challenging and demanding than ever. Many university administrators give lip service to promoting faculty and staff job satisfaction, retention, morale, and engagement. This essay focuses on one threat to the faculty and staff: the increasing bureaucratic demands from ever more bloated university administrations. A chair-level mitigation strategy is proposed in which chairs selectively shield faculty and staff from some of the burden, while prioritizing and explaining the merits of mission-critical tasks in ways that are transparent and align with scholarly values.

"A View From Mid-Field": Preparing Middle Managers For The Communication Paradoxes Of Change Management, Jennifer A. Sandoval, Robert S. Littlefield

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

In this study, 20 middle managers are interviewed about the increasing need for flexibility, responsiveness, and change management skills at a large, diverse, and public Southeastern university. The data reveal the middle managers identifying and coping with four paradoxical aspects of their change management role: the cognitive/internal paradoxes of capacity and knowledge and the behavior/external paradoxes of advocacy and process. The results demonstrate how these academic administrators managed the shifting terrain through internal agency (knowledge) and external agency (behavior). These paradoxes reveal the complexity of their role as a multihyphenate in today’s academic landscape as well as an overarching tension …

Charting The Pathways: Exploring Institutional Affiliations Of Past Presidents Among The Various Communication Associations, Aubree A. Herman, Narissra Maria Punyanunt-Carter Phd

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This study examines the historical affiliations of past presidents of major U.S. communication associations to identify patterns in disciplinary leadership, organizational representation, and demographic change over time. By tracing the institutions associated with these leaders, the analysis documents both continuity and change in the sources of visible leadership within the field. Findings reveal substantial institutional concentration within individual associations, with a relatively small number of universities accounting for a disproportionate share of presidential terms. The results also demonstrate a pronounced shift in the composition of association leadership. Women represented only a small proportion of presidents before the 1970s but have …

Comparison Of Pharmacological, Endoscopic, And Interventional Strategies For Primary And Secondary Prophylaxis Of Variceal Bleeding: A Systematic Review And Network Meta-Analysis Of Randomized Controlled Trials, Mujtaba Moazzam, Hasnain Saqib, Rehman Bashir, Talha Khan, Mahad Ahmed, Marjan Haider, Michael Fine

Conference Presentation Abstracts

Background: Gastroesophageal variceal bleeding carries significant morbidity and mortality in patients with portal hypertension. Multiple pharmacological, endoscopic, and interventional strategies have emerged for prophylaxis, yet no network meta-analysis has comprehensively compared the full treatment spectrum across both primary and secondary prophylaxis settings. We aimed to evaluate their relative efficacy within a single unified framework. Methods: We conducted a systematic review and frequentist random-effects NMA of RCTs comparing propranolol, nadolol, carvedilol, EBL, combination therapy (EBL plus beta-blocker), and TIPS. Databases searched included PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane CENTRAL, Scopus, and ClinicalTrials.gov through January 2026 (PROSPERO: CRD420261304355). Outcomes included bleeding/rebleeding risk and all-cause mortality. …
