An Examination Of Early Jewish Thought On The Afterlife, Robert E. Graham Iii May 2017

An Examination Of Early Jewish Thought On The Afterlife, Robert E. Graham Iii

Senior Honors Projects, 2010-2019

This paper examines the development of various theories about the afterlife – and even beyond theories that deal with post-mortem – in the early Jewish period. There is an emphasis placed on the development of the theory of predestination within the Qumran Yachad – the Dead Sea Scrolls Community. The main text utilized for arguing the development of predestination thought in the literature of the Qumranites is the Rule of the Community. Other various texts from the Hebrew Bible and from the early Jewish period are examined in order to explain the development of other theories such as resurrection, immortality …


Silenced Imbalances, Ashley G. Roth May 2017

Silenced Imbalances, Ashley G. Roth

Senior Honors Projects, 2010-2019

Awkwardness and vulnerability

through continuous public display and criticism

this and these inhibiting, defeating a person’s ability

to be able to function to the fullest extent.

Disabling.

Through literal and metaphorical ciphering I blend original poetry with my artwork in order to address misperceptions about gender, sexuality, mental illness, and ableism within American society. My undergraduate thesis work is an expression of my personal experience with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), major panic disorder, depression and dermatillomania.


An Experimental Study On Drag Reduction Of Aftermarket Additions On An Suv, Christiana L. Katsoulos May 2017

An Experimental Study On Drag Reduction Of Aftermarket Additions On An Suv, Christiana L. Katsoulos

Senior Honors Projects, 2010-2019

Over recent years, the awareness of climate change has become more prevalent worldwide and one major contributor to global warming has been the use of transportation. Vehicles contribute to global warming by releasing petroleum based emissions such as significant amounts of carbon dioxide and numerous other harmful environmental pollutants. SUVs contribute to the emissions problem more so than sedans, since they have lower gas mileage and need more gasoline regularly. The main functionality of sport utility vehicles, or SUVs, includes hauling or off-roading and fuel efficiency is not always the focus in the design process. However, aerodynamic enhancements could improve …

10_「新市鎮」探研 — 荃葵青的舊貌新顏, Yue Sang Leung, Cho Nga Leung, Kwan Kin, Kenneth Wong

專題講座

荃灣、葵涌及青衣是香港第一代新市鎮。早於1950年代,政府銳意在鄰近九龍的地區開闢土地,以「自給自足,均衡發展」為理念,拓展新市鎮。自此,擁有數百年歷史的荃葵青便經歷翻天覆地的變化:大規模的移山填海改變了原來的地貌;舊村落的搬遷重置騰出了發展空間;新道路網絡的建設打通了區內外的流動;各式樓房大廈的興建令人事活動驟增。是次講座暨考察活動以荃葵青的歷史發展為經,以新市鎮拓展為緯,細說區內數百年來的蛻變。


Technology From The Perspective Of Society And Public Interest, Chanwoon Park May 2017

Technology From The Perspective Of Society And Public Interest, Chanwoon Park

Purdue Polytechnic Doctoral Dissertations

The ultimate goals of this study were to determine ways to reconcile technology with public interest and to understand the relationship between what we know and how we feel about technology. To achieve the goals, related literatures were reviewed; the mechanism of technology development was described with empirical data; and human perception of technology was tested with a survey. The duality of technology that implied technological inherencies of technical reason and social meanings was the principle assumption of the study. Neutrality of technology becomes a myth with the presence of social meanings embodied in technology. Given the huge impact of …

In Tierra Misteriosa (Mysterious Land), Astrid Hadad offers her take on hundreds of years of history, from Tenochtitlan, the ancient capital of the Aztec empire, to the Mexico of today, about which she offers penetrating insight with a lot of humor. She says, “I think it’s necessary to keep the spark of humor, the depth of humor, because otherwise life is not worth living.”

Where Are You From: Essays On Finding Home, Georgia Knapp May 2017

Where Are You From: Essays On Finding Home, Georgia Knapp

Creative Nonfiction MFA Theses

"Where Are You From?" is an essay collection that seeks to answer the question of where someone is from. Their birthplace or the last place that they lived? The place where they have lived the longest, or the place that they identify with most with? The eleven essays in this collection engage these questions and others in an attempt to reconcile the author's deep-seated and pervasive sense of dislocation. In settings ranging from the Shetland Islands to Greece to Chicago, this collection explores what it means to call a place home––or not.

Stance Taking As A Marker Of Identity In Bilingual Hispanic Millennials, Marc Gehlsen May 2017

Stance Taking As A Marker Of Identity In Bilingual Hispanic Millennials, Marc Gehlsen

Departmental Honors & Graduate Capstone Projects

The analysis of stance taking in discourse has several implications about the expression of the identity of the speaker by means of sentence formation consistent with patterns among members of a speech community. This study focuses on the ways in which speakers that are considered a part of the millennial generation (birth dates between 1982 and 2004) express their identity as US-born Latino heritage speakers. Through an analysis of previous case studies, pre-recorded individual interviews of the target group, and research in the field of stance taking, I outline the ways in which a speaker can use stance to express …


Navigating University Bureaucracy For Social Change: Transgender & Gender-Nonconforming Students, Kate Hoffman May 2017

Navigating University Bureaucracy For Social Change: Transgender & Gender-Nonconforming Students, Kate Hoffman

Senior Theses

In large university structures, bureaucracy serves to provide academic support and foster student success. Additionally, some argue that with the increasing view of universities as businesses, bureaucracy is ever-growing to serve as the ‘customer support’ for their students. Due to pressures for large university campuses to accommodate more and more students, the bureaucratic offices to serve those students are ever-increasing and ever-diversifying. Regardless of how one may view the purpose of bureaucracy, it has been lauded as an inefficient and frustrating necessity to navigating higher education. This paper will contain an analysis of a large Southern university campus, using the …


The Silenced: An Artistic Analysis Of Memory And Conflict, Kittridge Janvrin May 2017

The Silenced: An Artistic Analysis Of Memory And Conflict, Kittridge Janvrin

Senior Theses

The ability to tell stories has always been one I considered most valuable. Histories have been passed down across generations, tales of war and independence, of crimes and justice. Storytelling is not unique to one particular culture or people, instead traversing divides both geographic and societal. This permeation of words, of voices that convey histories both real and imagined is the driving force behind my thesis. The culmination of my research, which is outlined in the following reflection, is an original short play. While based on the Troubles in Northern Ireland, the play speaks to the power behind every story …


Ophelia's Reflection, Kelley Kennedy May 2017

Ophelia's Reflection, Kelley Kennedy

Senior Theses

This project examines Ophelia's role in the thematic exploration of the nature of the individual self in Shakespeare's Hamlet. First, I discuss the different models of subjectivity and virtue that Ophelia embodies and by which characters around her judge her actions. Her father, Polonius, espouses a form of Renaissance humanism that Shakespeare counters throughout the play. He believes the imitation of noble qualities can affect inner goodness, and he demands Ophelia's obedience of his instructions regarding noble conduct. In contrast, Hamlet locates moral authority within the individual, and he dismisses Polonius' notions of elite selfpresentation as vulgar performances. Both men …

Marching Band And The College Transition, Jessica Fix May 2017

Marching Band And The College Transition, Jessica Fix

Honors Projects

The relationship between college student engagement and personal growth has been studied for decades. However, involvement in specific types of organizations or activities has not been researched as in-depth. This study examined involvement in college marching band specifically and how it affects transition into college and overall growth and learning of college students. This study analyzes quantitative data of all marching band participants at Bowling Green State University in the most recent year (2016-2017), as well as qualitative data retrieved through focus group sessions with first year marchers and returning marchers. Results of this study suggest that involvement in marching …

Redefining Virtue In Shakespeare's Merry Wives Of Windsor, Melissa Rose Piccinonno May 2017

Redefining Virtue In Shakespeare's Merry Wives Of Windsor, Melissa Rose Piccinonno

Theses and Dissertations

Shakespeare’s The Merry Wives of Windsor is a play of social justice. It is a staging of the type of power that women can harness in spaces of extreme limitation and violation. The female characters in this play, specifically Mistress Page and Mistress Ford, are able to use tools of oppression meant to keep them subordinate to men to achieve their personal objectives.
