The study explores how musical composition, improvisation, and group work can be leveraged to both reinforce core SEL competencies as well as improve student motivation and engagement. This study is grounded in the theoretical work of Edward Deci and Richard Ryan, as well as music educators Edward L. Varner and Rachel D. Sanguinetti. Teacher reflections, student self-assessments, Cooperating Teacher observations, and video footages were analyzed using qualitative research methods. Three main themes emerged: Student choice leading to unpredictable results, inconsistent correlation between engagement and proficiency, and individuals connecting to their lived experience. The research suggests that Self-Determination Theory has the potential to increase student motivation and engagement. Keywords: Self-Determination Theory, Social Emotional Learning, blues, improvisation, composition, student engagement, student motivation, music education, general music, elementary music.

This threat is radically increased due to the lack of structural integrity of buildings in the region, especially in densely populated areas, and inadequate planning as to where buildings were constructed. It is critical that states such as Oregon and Washington retrofit or reconstruct existing buildings to reduce the risks associated with a potential major mega-thrust earthquake generated by the Cascadia Subduction Zone. Portland, Oregon’s largest city, is currently one of the most vulnerable cities in the US to a major earthquake. If a large earthquake struck the Pacific Northwest, Portland would be greatly affected because most of the buildings within the city were constructed before the state-wide building codes were enacted in 1973, and well before the first state wide seismic building codes (enacted in 1993). In an ideal scenario, reconstructing every building to be earthquake safe and up to code would be the plan. However, reconstructing the buildings of an entire city would be expensive, complicated, and extremely time consuming. For those reasons, this study focused on different retrofitting techniques and their costs, and the necessity for certain buildings to be reconstructed. Retrofitting costs were compared to the cost of demolition and reconstruction of old buildings, in order to determine the most economically viable course of action for preventing loss of life and minimizing structural losses in Oregon. Buildings are not the only type of infrastructure at risk, as bridges are also susceptible to being damaged during earthquake events. On the Oregon coast, many towns are connected both inland and to each other by bridges. Waldport is such an example, having all 3 of its major roads on bridges less than a mile out of town. According to Oregon State University, most of the coastal bridges in the state have a very high chance of collapsing and/or sustaining major damage, or being inundated with water due to a subsequent tsunami. The risk of infrastructure collapse (and potential loss of life due to collapse) and cost of retrofitting is the first portion of data being assessed. The second section of data being analyzed is the amount of people that would be incapable of moving to safety due to collapse or damage, and the access (or lack thereof) of emergency response services to isolated areas following a seismic hazard event.

This view of Stalin’s role in Soviet history has proven incorrect in many respects since the fall of the Soviet Union and the opening up of Soviet archives to scholars around the world. The event that most demonstrated the lack of homogeneity within the Soviet government and the persistence of resistance to Stalin’s complete authority is the forced collectivization of agriculture. Soviet collectivization was an ambitious plan and for Stalin one of the most controversial policy initiatives he would pursue. Ultimately, the documentary record reveals that the agricultural policies that Stalin endorsed, which led to full scale collectivization, were not the product of a monolithic government ran by Stalin, but rather were contested at nearly every stage of development from 1928 through 1934.

What are they trying to tell us? That all depends on the environment they are in and how they got there. Even when a human is unable to speak anymore, they can still give information to scientists such as how long they have been dead or what could have caused their death. Just like how different crops grow in different environments, organic material decomposes in different ways in varying environments; in this case, the organic material will be cadavers. Currently, scientists are studying the decomposition process of cadavers that have been generously donated to science in a variety of environments. Scientists who study this type of decomposition do so at locations known as forensic “Body Farms” or Forensic Anthropology facilities. Many different environments can be observed at forensic body farms such as cadavers partially submerged in water, encased in concrete, or fully exposed to the elements. They also have cadavers that have been autopsied and not autopsied in order to explore all variables. The eight locations in the United States are spread out across the Eastern and Central portions of the continent, meaning that there is no location in the Western part of the continent. The closest location to the Western part of the continent is the Forensic 6 Investigation Research Station located in Grand Junction, Colorado. Even then, it is still roughly 1,020 miles away from San Francisco, California (Map Data), 1.050 miles away from Portland, Oregon (Map Data), and 1,110 miles from Seattle, Washington (Map Data). An ideal location for a “Body Farm” would have a diverse climate and be located in a location that is easy enough to access for those that need to access it but also secluded enough to not be interfered with by other people. Oregon has a very diverse climate that would expose the subjects of a forensic body farm to different elements that they would not be exposed to on the Eastern side of the United States. Such as different temperature, humidity, rainfall, wind, other climatic factors and more. My main goal for this project is to explain to readers the opportunities that opening a forensic body farm could become within reach for the scientific, law enforcement, and other communities. If one was to be opened in Oregon, it would be the only forensic body farm located on the West side of the Rocky Mountains. Along with providing general knowledge of what a forensic body farm is, I want to identify the stigma that surrounds “Body Farms” and explain how despite the challenges that can be faced it would be valuable if a location was created in Oregon. To combat the poor picture that comes to mind when the words are brought up, people need to understand that things decompose 7 differently in varied environments and see the facility as a scientific need. The cadavers donated to forensic body farms cannot be seen as people, they need to be seen as scientific tools. I want to address any concerns that may arise from a project such as this and explain ways of handling them constructively to help people understand the uses of “Body Farms.” Decomposition is not something that should be thought of as the “end” for the remains of a human after death, information can still be obtained from said decomposition and be valuable to fields of research that are beneficial for the future.

Although there is more and more research being done on how to control homelessness, no one city has been able to accomplish this difficult task. Most cities across the nation have been trying to control homelessness by initiating laws that make it very hard to be a homeless resident in the city. Examples of these anti-homeless laws are sleeping bans, seizing of person property, and citing people for feeding homeless residents. One city in the United States that is taking a different approach is Portland, Oregon. Honors Program Dean Braa | Gavin Keulks

Many social media platforms provide a unique customer experience between the company and social media. The analysis discusses how businesses to use social media platforms as one of the marketing strategies. It includes about four businesses cases, which includes two big companies Starbucks and Nike, two small local companies Coava Coffee Roaster and Portland Gear. When using social media, a company needs to be aware of the safety concerns of its customers, to the best of their ability, that they are protected. Two examples of Facebook “Like” button and YouTube recommendation system shows the information exchange between social media platforms and businesses. With the comparison between Facebook APIs and Twitter APIs, businesses can know how to send advertising to the target customers and get more new customers by using the APIs. 6/10/2022 Master of Science in Management and Information Systems David Olson, Scot Morse, Mark Elton professional_project

https://wou.omeka.net/s/repository/item/1160 Daily Mood-Drinking Slopes as Predictors: a New Take on Drinking Motives and Related Outcomes Cynthia D Mohr | Debi Brannan | Staci Wendt | Laurie Jacobs | Robert Wright | Mo Wang drinking motives | moderate drinking | mood-drinking slopes | daily process methodology | slopes as predictors American Psychological Association 12/1/2013 Text fac_pubs/28 Psychology of Addictive Behaviors eng Motivational models of alcohol consumption have articulated the manner in which positive and negative experiences motivate drinking in unique social contexts (e.g., Cooper, Frone, Russell & Mudar, 1995). Daily process methodology, in which daily events, moods and drinking behaviors are reported daily or multiple times per day, has been used to examine behavioral patterns that are consistent with discrete motivations. We advance the notion that repeated patterns of drinking in various social contexts as a function of positive or negative mood increases can provide evidence of individual-level if-then drinking signatures, which in turn can predict drinking-related outcomes. The purpose of this study was to examine the utility of slopes to predict longer term drinking motivations and alcohol problems, employing a daily process study of non-clinical moderate alcohol drinkers (N=47; 49% women). Participants responded to thrice daily interviews administered via handheld computer for 30 days, followed by a longitudinal telephone survey for 12 months. Participants’ daily mood-drinking relationships were extracted from HLM and employed as predictors of 12-month outcomes in multiple regression analyses. Daily mood-drinking patterns demonstrated significant variability across persons, such that moderate drinkers could be reliably differentiated based on those patterns in terms of distinct drinking-related outcomes. Among the results, negative mood-solitary drinking slopes were associated with lower subsequent coping motives; yet, positive mood-solitary drinking slopes were predictive of higher coping and lower social motives. Conversely, positive mood-social drinking associations were predictive of higher enhancement motives and b-MAST scores. Results are interpreted in light of motivational models of consumption. 4 955 944 27 This research was supported by National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism grants R03-AA014598 and R29AA09917 and by a Faculty Enhancement Grant and Summer Research Institute support from Portland State University.

School of Geography and Development 12/1/2014 Text fac_pubs/2 you are here: the journal of creative geography eng Digital technology is enabling a reconceptualization of film and cinema. The pliability of digital media opens up, particularly, the theory and practice of montage to revision. This pliability allows for cheap and easy copying and combining of images, and, relatedly, the transition from film frame to digital screen provides a less precious and more flexible creative space for filmmakers. In this article, I use my documentary, Comic Book City, Portland, Oregon USA (2012), to demonstrate and discuss how digital production can be used to construct new forms of montage, particularly in the combination of creative norms and practices traditionally associated with different media, in this case, film and comics.

https://wou.omeka.net/s/repository/item/1115 Live/Work: Portland, Oregon as a Place for Comics Creation Shaun Huston Comic books | Work | Portland (Or.) Franz Steiner Verlag 1/1/2014 Text fac_pubs/3 eng In my documentary film, Comic Book City, Portland, Oregon USA (2012), I construct a representation of the city as a place for comics creation based on interviews primarily with writers and artists, but also publishers, editors, and editorial staff, who have chosen to live and work in Portland. In this chapter, I highlight key aspects ofthis representation and elaborate on the broader contexts for understanding the significance of the city for people in this field. While comics creation and comics creators can be located in relation to broad categories such as the creative class (FLORIDA 2002) or "neo-bohemia" (LLOYD 2006), in both this chapter and in my documentary I emphasize the particularity of the relationships between people and place in Portland. Indeed, the city's attractiveness for comics writers and artists is indicative of the ways in which Portland is deployed both as an exemplar of development models derived from broader discourses on cities and creativity (see, for example, Florida 2005, Peck 2005), and as a cautionary case (Russell 2011, Silpayamanant 2012).
