Veçantitë Dhe Rëndësia E Të Folurit Për Radio, Gentiana Hoxhaj
Theses and Dissertations
Të folurit në radio është njëri ndër elementet më të rëndësishme për gazetarët dhe moderatorët, pavarësisht nga programet në të cilat janë të angazhuar. Studiuesit e ndryshëm e cilësojnë mënyrën se si flitet në radio si shenjë identifikuese të radios dhe në raste të veçanta e barazvlerësojnë përmbajtjen me mënyrën se si përcillet ajo te dëgjuesit. Mënyra se si flasin gazetarët dhe moderatorët në programet e radios, ndikon në krijimin e lidhjes së radios me audiencën/dëgjuesit e saj. Për të krijuar afërsi dhe komunikim me dëgjuesit, nevojitet të respektohen parimet kryesore, që përvetësohen nga gazetarët përmes ushtrimit të teknikave të …

Amplifying Lgbtqia+ Presence Through Queer Legal Worldmaking: The Role Of Affect In Renegotiating Value Hierarchies In Political Argument, Hilary Ann Rasmussen
Amplifying Lgbtqia+ Presence Through Queer Legal Worldmaking: The Role Of Affect In Renegotiating Value Hierarchies In Political Argument, Hilary Ann Rasmussen
Theses and Dissertations
In this dissertation, I propose to better explain the argumentative processes by which communities are constituted in political crisis moments and how, within those moments, social movement and legal rhetorics co-create the rhetorical possibilities for queer legal worldmaking. Specifically, I argue that affect functions as an important tool within argumentative loci of presence (magnitude, proximity, and severity) and is intimately connected to value-warrants in political argument. When the affective resonance of polices exclusive of LGBTQIA+ persons is made present, deeply held values can be reappropriated in order to enact political change. Queer legal worldmaking is less about the creation of …

The current study explores what motivates international students to choose how to acculturation in the academic environment. The traditional view in the field tends to consider acculturation as objective criteria with an assumption that a certain acculturation strategy (i.e., integration) is better than another (assimilation). Using Ajzen’s Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB; 1991), the study assessed how international students’ beliefs (i.e., subjective norms, behavioral control and attitudes) would influence their choice of acculturation behaviors (i.e., affiliating with Americans and/or other international students from the same country, and practicing American and/or home-country values), and how the relationship between the acculturation beliefs …

ABSTRACT
WHAT SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN A MEASURE OF COMMUNICATIVE PARTICIPATION? PERSPECTIVES OF SPEECH-LANGUAGE PATHOLOGISTS
by Natalie Graceffa
The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, 2017 Under the Supervision of Professor Dr. Shelley Lund
As the field has developed, speech-language pathologists (SLP) need to validate their therapies and prove, beyond clinical judgment, that their therapy is necessary and ethical. SLPs and other healthcare professionals must prove they are achieving positive outcomes with their treatment, and that the outcomes they set are appropriate for their patients and clients. To bring this validity to the treatment of health, the International Classification for Functioning, Disability, and …

"Don't Be Such A Girl, I'M Only Joking!" Post-Alternative Comedy, British Panel Shows, And Masculine Spaces, Lindsay Anne Weber
"Don't Be Such A Girl, I'M Only Joking!" Post-Alternative Comedy, British Panel Shows, And Masculine Spaces, Lindsay Anne Weber
Theses and Dissertations
This thesis discusses the gender disparity in British panel shows. In February 2014 the BBC’s Director of Television enforced a quota stating panel shows needed to include one woman per episode. This quota did not fully address the ways in which the gender imbalance was created. This thesis argues that the gender imbalance stems from post-feminist sensibilities and masculine-centric trends in British comedy and culture. This work demonstrates this through a discourse analysis of the opinions expressed about panel shows by the British popular press and media personalities from 2002 to 2017. The discourse analysis exposes patterns where British producers …

“Superman’S Editor Mortimer Weisinger”: The Success And Extension Of The Superman Brand In The Silver Age Of Comics, Justin Engelbart
Theses and Dissertations
My thesis examines the career of Detective Comics’ editor Mortimer Weisinger from 1957-1970, during which time Superman transitioned from a simple character to a complex brand. It details the creation of the character and subsequent growth into multiple mediums. Weisinger’s greatest contribution to the hero was an extended mythology and spin-off comic series. I analyze these series, as well as his other editorial tendencies, to understand the business strategies and management of the Superman brand. Another interest in this thesis is comic book fandom, as feedback from fans allowed National’s management to identify trends. Weisinger’s involvement with early science fiction …

“Konferenca E Rambujesë – Rrjedha Dhe Pasqyrimi Në Media”, Alba Merovci
Theses and Dissertations
Në Konferencën e Ambasadorëve në Londër të vitit 1912-1913, u vendosën kufijtë e shteteve të Ballkanit. Kosova padrejtësisht u nda nga kufijtë administrativë të Shqipërisë së sotme. Kjo, përveç të tjerash, ndodhi sepse delegacionet shqiptare që morën pjesë në këtë konferencë, që ishin të shumta, nuk kishin qëndrime të harmonizuara. Diversiteti dhe konfliktet midis tyre arritën deri në shkallën e mosdurimit të njëri-tjetrit dhe të moskomunikimit. Kjo ndikoi mjaft që përkrahja e brishtë amerikano/austro-hungareze të mos jetësohet.
Kosova dhe populli i saj, pas kësaj konference, pothuaj një shekull jetuan dhe përjetuan sfida të mëdha. Megjithatë, kontributi i rilindësve tanë bëri …

Corporate Social Responsibility Motivations: How Audiences Respond To A Company’S Motivations Post-Crisis, Sara Torabi
Theses and Dissertations
With the rise of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) practices, researchers have identified various motivations behind CSR initiatives. These motivations can assist researchers in understanding company behaviors and reputations. This study will compare Maignan and Ralston’s (2002) CSR motivations in an attempt to better identify how these motivations effect (1) customer loyalty, (2) brand reputation, and (3) crisis communication responses. This paper will use Nike Inc.’s 1990 crisis as a case study.

"But She's Snow White, She Would N'T Hurt Anybody": A Critical Analysis Of Gender And Power In Once Upon A Time, Mackenzie Mahler
Theses and Dissertations
This thesis examines gender performance and its relation to power in the television series Once Upon a Time (OUAT). On the surface, OUAT is a television show that constantly challenges the culturally-ingrained gender norms often found in fairy tales, as it creates new storylines for traditional fairy tales. This warrants a deeper examination of the series to understand if and how it is subverting these typical gender norms. To fully understand how gender operates in OUAT, I examined how gender affects and is affected by hegemony in the show and how this relates to our cultural understanding of gender and …

The Rise Of The Listicle: Using Eye-Tracking And Signal Detection Theory To Measure This Growing Phenomenon, Jason Robert Freeman
The Rise Of The Listicle: Using Eye-Tracking And Signal Detection Theory To Measure This Growing Phenomenon, Jason Robert Freeman
Theses and Dissertations
As online technology continues to progress, the modes of communication through which content can be shared have exponentially grown. These include advances in navigational options for presenting information and news online. Though the listicle has been around for centuries, the internet has proliferated its growth, as content producers rely on its structure as a vehicle for sharing information. This research shows that in the case of listicles, format had no direct effect on recall, however, participants who had a greater interest in the content showed significantly higher levels of memory sensitivity. This critical finding suggests that news outlets and content …
