Provocative Enactments As Regulators Of Underarousal And Its Associated Affects, Steven Bashkoff
Provocative Enactments As Regulators Of Underarousal And Its Associated Affects, Steven Bashkoff
Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects
This theoretical/clinical-case study explores the function of provocative enactments as a means to regulate underaroused states and the affects associated with underarousal. A great deal of psychoanalytic literature emphasizes the function of provocative enactments as destructive or as a way to devalue others or disconnect from them; this function certainly exists in one class of such enactments where the actor’s goal is to destroy interpersonal ties or enhance self-esteem by kindling negative affect in the other person. However, this dissertation proposes that there exists another, distinct class of provocative enactments where their function serves to activate or reengage another person …
All That Is Air Turns Solid: The Creation Of A Market For Sinks Under The Kyoto Protocol On Climate Change, Maria Gutierrez
All That Is Air Turns Solid: The Creation Of A Market For Sinks Under The Kyoto Protocol On Climate Change, Maria Gutierrez
Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects
Countries with greenhouse gas emission reduction commitments under the Kyoto Protocol on climate change may invest in projects in developing countries that reduce or remove CO2 and take credit for the reductions. Since vegetation absorbs CO2 through photosynthesis, trees in one place could offset gases emitted elsewhere. For this purpose, trees are known as carbon sinks, and as such they entered the new market in emission reductions.
This dissertation analyzes this new commodity and how it works on the ground. It describes problems encountered by UN negotiators when they abstracted, isolated and quantified a process such as breathing, which takes …
Estimating The Economic Impact Of Tourism: A Comparative Analysis Of Albania, Croatia, The Former Yugoslav Republic Of Macedonia And Greece, Arjana Çela
Dissertations and Theses @ UNI
This study assessed the economic impact of tourism on investment, government and imports expenditures in Albania, Croatia, the Former Yugoslav Republic (FYR) of Macedonia, and Greece. The objectives of this study were to develop a model to determine the impacts generated from an incremental change in tourist expenditures in the economy of Albania, Croatia, FYR of Macedonia, and Greece; to estimate the multipliers of the tourism expenditures on investment, government and imports expenditures in Albania, Croatia, FYR of Macedonia, and Greece and to investigate the differences and similarities of the economic impact of tourism between Albania, Croatia, FYR of Macedonia, …
Post-Error Slowing In Preschool Children And Adolescents With Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, Olga G. Berwid
Post-Error Slowing In Preschool Children And Adolescents With Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, Olga G. Berwid
Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects
The objective of this dissertation was to examine whether post-error reaction time slowing, an index of self-regulation, is impaired in individuals with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) at two separate developmental time points: preschool and adolescence. Two studies were conducted with separate cohorts. Study 1 examined post-error slowing in a sample of preschool children rated by parents, teachers, and clinicians as exhibiting high levels of ADHD symptoms. In addition to group comparisons based on symptom status, a cross-sectional examination of age-related changes in post-error slowing in typically developing preschoolers (controls) was also conducted. Study 2 compared post-error slowing in individuals diagnosed with …
Behavior And Ecology Of The Mona Monkey In The Seasonally Dry Lama Forest, Republic Of Bénin, Reiko Matsuda Goodwin
Behavior And Ecology Of The Mona Monkey In The Seasonally Dry Lama Forest, Republic Of Bénin, Reiko Matsuda Goodwin
Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects
I investigated the behavior and ecology of the mona monkey (Cercopithecus mona Schreber, 1774) in the Lama Forest for 17 months, and estimated the population density and biomass of the anthropoid species in the forest.
I found that Cercopithecus mona forms mixed-sex groups and all-male groups. Multiple males in mixed-sex groups interacted amicably, but males belonging to different groups behaved aggressively towards each other during intergroup encounters. Male-male relationships in C. mona appear to differ from those reported in some other arboreal guenons (e.g., C. diana, C. mitis).
Fruits and legume seeds and arils were the most important …
Exploring The Ligand Binding Site On The Dopamine Transporter By Photoaffinity Labeling And Site-Directed Mutagenesis, Maria Laura Parnas
Exploring The Ligand Binding Site On The Dopamine Transporter By Photoaffinity Labeling And Site-Directed Mutagenesis, Maria Laura Parnas
Theses and Dissertations
The dopamine transporter (DAT) is a neuronal presynaptic transmembrane protein that clears released dopamine (DA) from the synaptic space, regulating the neurotransmitter concentration and availability, DAT and the related serotonin (SERT) and norepinephrine (NET) transporters belong to the SLC6 family of Na+ and CI- dependent symporters, and are major targets for the action of several drugs, including the psychostimulant cocaine. DAT is predicted to possess 12 transmembrane spanning domains (TMs), with both N- and C-termini located intracellularly. Extensive research efforts to gain insight on the molecular aspects of DAT have been attempted, but the three-dimensional arrangement of the protein as …
English Language Learners And Library Research, Jessica Schomberg
English Language Learners And Library Research, Jessica Schomberg
All Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Other Capstone Projects
The purpose of this project was to study problems English language learners (ELLs) face when doing research in U.S. academic libraries. A review of the literature indicates that ELLs face both linguistic and cultural barriers. Those barriers are related to learning expectations, library anxiety, and technology. Research on organizational culture and its influence on website design was consulted and used to compare the design of a library catalog’s interface with student responses to a library instruction session offered within Composition 101 for non-native speakers. Based on those results, it is argued that library catalogs are designed to match the cultural …
Stimulating Reading Excitement In Secondary Level English Language Learners, Rachael J. Schweigert
Stimulating Reading Excitement In Secondary Level English Language Learners, Rachael J. Schweigert
All Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Other Capstone Projects
The purpose of this paper is to examine how ESL teachers can stimulate reading excitement in secondary level English language learners. The current research about factor which affect reading enjoyment in secondary level English language learners will also be discussed. These factors include element in reading instruction, attitudes toward reading, readability of text, interest level in literature, and availability of meaningful literature. Current research regarding applications that can be used in classrooms will also be reviewed, such as reading models and reading strategies. Based on the results of this research, suggestions will be presented regarding literature that can be used …
Rural Development And Sustainable Agriculture In The European Union Mediterranean: A Case Study On Olive Oil Production In Kefalonia, Greece, Amaris Lunde
WWU Graduate School Collection
Rural depopulation is a post-war phenomenon in Western Europe, strongly associated with agricultural abandonment to which isolated and poorer areas are most vulnerable. Such agricultural communities have remained marginalized due to a lack of resources to restore them, but also due to market and governmental forces which have encouraged industrial agriculture, thereby rewarding large-scale agricultural operations and rendering the small traditional agricultural practices nonviable because of their inability to compete. The Greek Ioanian island of Kefalonia was once home to a hillside subsistence community known as Farsa, which was emblematic of traditional agricultural practices. The effects of World War II …
