Neon price labels are collaged on top of one another, radiating outward to depict the explosive look of Crape Myrtle flowers on campus that bloom in the summertime. Just like the Crape Myrtle plant’s flowers, our ownership of material possessions is impermanent. Scribbled lines made with markers and pens optically mix. Ink is conceived to be a permanent medium, but the price label stickers allow for a quick cover-up.

The artwork was stylistically inspired by Milton Glaser, a pioneer in the history of graphic design and illustration in the 1960s and beyond. The work was created in response to, and as a companion piece for, the poem “Woman Work” written by Maya Angelou in 1978. The repeated female figure image is meant to be upside down, embodying the chaos and sadness of the life of endless chores cited in the poem. The falling woman can also be interpreted as representing the potential release of letting go of what you can’t co ntrol. The background is a scratchy, sketchy, and a bit like rain, which serves as a symbol of nature, which calls to Maya Angelou’s character as she goes through the motions of her daily life being a mother, woman, and person of color.

For other uses, please ask permission from the author. http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/ Abstract For this thesis I choose to look at moral motivation and how it can be tied to Christianity as a monotheistic religion. More specifically, I will analyze selected philosophical writings of Socrates, David Hume, and Immanuel Kant to determine whether or not (or to what extent) attributes in the Christine doctrine render the concept of moral decisions invalid. Does, for instance, the concept of an omnipotent and omnipresent God invalidate the idea of individuals being capable of “pure” morality – doing moral things for the sake of being moral versus to avoid possible divine punishment. This project will not be made up of specific hypothetical examples or situations; nor will I discuss specific types of people and the effect circumstance could have on the decision. Rather, the main focus will be whether, philosophically, the perceived threat of divine wrath is enough of a motivator to make a decision no longer moral in its own aspect according to the philosophical definitions of morality established by Socrates, Hume, and Kant.

Specifically, this project will focus on whether hula in Japan remains pure and close to its Hawaiian roots rather than transformed. Hawaii and Japan are both island cultures, but differences have developed in how hula is portrayed, whether it be more for the entertainment aspect or the cultural aspect. In hula, numerous performance elements symbolize aspects of Hawaiian culture: from the formation of the dancers (representing working together in a community) to the dancers’ adornments (representing a goddess, an island, or even the subject of the mele, or song, itself). Research on Hawaiian and Japanese cultural similarities, such as similarities in spiritual mythology, will reveal the factors that contribute to the continued popularity of hula in Japan. Similarities and differences in hula being taught in Hawaii versus being taught in Japan, such as commercializing hula into an industry, will also be evaluated. Insight from well-recognized kumu hula, or hula teacher, Shane Kamakaokalani ‘Maka’ Herrod, who teaches both in Hawaii and Japan, will also be used to have an inside perspective on how hula hālau, or hula schools, in Japan differ from those in Hawaii.

The layering of various photographic elements, the vibrancy and saturation of colors, and the abstract form and moving parts, symbolize the complexity of the human mind. This design specifically explores the concept of the lightbulb idea, the desire to access a source of creativity, or the next big thing that could change the course of humanity. However, this cover also implies great ideas and creativity truly reside nowhere else but within ourselves and the world around us. It is when we open our minds that we are able to form connections that reach the potential of our creative insights and unlock the possibilities of the human imagination.

Due to health concerns, they may be vulnerable to elder abuse and neglect. As older adults continue to reach older adulthood at later ages, elder abuse will continue to increase and adversely affect older adults living in both long-term care and home settings. Those who experience elder abuse have many negative health- related outcomes. Understanding elder abuse and neglect is critical in both addressing it and creating innovative prevention strategies. This exploratory qualitative research study included interviews with five professionals working in settings that have equipped them with an understanding and expertise of elder abuse and neglect in these settings. Results suggest that agency efforts, workplace culture, and resident risk factors greatly affect the occurrence of elder abuse in long-term care settings. These findings revealed areas of improvement and potential pathways towards addressing elder abuse and neglect.

How can we make sense of existence, if at all? These are the questions Fyodor Dostoyevsky attempted to answer in his 1864 novella Notes From Underground. Centuries later in 2021, comedian and filmmaker Bo Burnham attempts to answer the same questions in his COVID-era comedy special Inside. Though neither of these works are about existential philosophy explicitly, Notes From Underground is revered as such. In this comparative essay I argue that Inside is also a deeply existential work, similar to Notes From Underground in both the themes it contains and the mechanisms used to convey them. Both are self-referential expressions of pain and bewilderment over the existential condition, and both conclude by giving in to nihilism. Comparing these similar works from vastly different time periods can shed light on how humanity grapples with the same existential questions under different circumstances, providing evidence for the continued relevance of existential philosophy in the Internet Age.

Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 4 mothers, whose educational experiences varied. The questions focused on the mothers’ experiences within the education system regarding themselves and their children. Analysis of the interviews revealed three emergent themes - parents as first teachers, generational education experiences as motivation, and advocacy. For mothers to feel valued in their children’s schools, their role as the first-teacher in their children's lives must be respected. They also must have a safe space to advocate for their child. The mothers also utilize their own educational experiences as motivation to best support their children. Listening to the voices of Latinx mothers and learning from these themes casts an important asset oriented light on their intentions and the support strategies that work for them.

Is Mrs. Williamson telling the truth? Or is she lying to save herself? The answer to all of those questions can be determined through the use of blood spatter that was created during the course of events that led to Mr. Williamson’s death. Specially trained analysts, known as blood spatter analysts, use mathematics equations to determine the location of individuals and objects at a crime scene during the time that the violent crime takes place. The equations that blood spatter analysts use in their calculations comes from a division on math known as trigonometry. Investigators then use those calculated locations to determine if their witnesses or suspects are telling the truth through comparison.

Older adults, in particular, have experienced the highest mortality rates and the greatest concerns ranging from physical safety to economic stress to social isolation. This paper presents findings drawn from the COVID-19 Coping Study, a national longitudinal study of the social, behavioral, health, and economic pandemic impacts on older adults (aged 55+) in the U.S. The authors qualitatively analyzed attitudes, behaviors, fears, and frustrations expressed by the study participants in an open-ended survey question during the monthly follow-up survey in Fall 2020. The results revealed four major ways that the COVID-19 pandemic negatively affected older adults with regard to their sources of community: missing interactions with people; concern for safety from the virus; collective frustrations with the pandemic; and frustrations creating divisions within communities. This study sheds light on the struggles of older adults during a pandemic and may help inform future research on coping strategies and ways to better prepare for potential pandemics in the future.

Recent research indicates that the client-choice model, in which customers get to choose items in a grocery store-like setting, is a much less wasteful and more dignifying method of running a food pantry (Remley, et al. 2006). However, there has not been scholarly research into the best practices for organizing and restocking items at client-choice pantries, which can significantly affect the quality and amount of food a customer has the opportunity to shop for. This research outlines a method of using common probability and statistics techniques to quantify the expected equity and risk of products expiring to find an optimal restocking method.

This helped bridge the tension and divide that existed within segregated America but also showed the power that athletics has in highlighting common human characteristics. The evidence that will primarily illustrate this comes from a number of primary sources including six oral histories conducted by the United States Holocaust Museum as well as The 1984 Los Angeles Olympics Archives. These interviews give a glimpse into what the 1936 Olympic experience was like for many of the athletes that did not receive the same level of recognition as their teammate Jesse Owens. The Pan American Games which took place in Dallas in 1937 highlighted some of the harsh realities of racism in the American South despite the meet promoters intentions of holding a “harmonious” track meet not centered around race.[1] Overall these sources will contribute to the field by highlighting track and field’s involvement in healing social divides far ahead of its time.

The cover features a photo manipulation between two images, one of an individual student and one of a type of flora that can be found in a multitude of places across campus. When both of these images are combined the subjects lose their individuality and now form into one singular entity, flowing together seamlessly so that a viewer can no longer find the beginning of one or the end of the other. The use of a warm color palette reminds the viewer of the hopeful feeling in the fall when connectivity between students and campus is at its most intense.

The plot of the film follows the road trip Guevara takes with his friend Alberto Granado on an old motorcycle through South America. As they witness poverty and inequality across the continent, there are many instances where it would seem that Ernesto is beginning to form the communist ideologies which eventually guide him to be the face of revolution. The film downplays these ideologies by only commenting on classism through the use of material signs, which Ernesto overcomes physically rather than philosophically. This depiction of material problems with physical solutions creates a simpler situation for the audience to comprehend; one in which the morality of Ernesto is unquestionable, and his selflessness is emphasized through physical sacrifice.

The El Mozote Massacre, in which nearly one thousand Salvadorans were callously murdered —women and children included — helped to inaugurate the unprecedented and sadistic counterrevolutionary violence supported materially and ideologically by the Reagan administration. Through eyewitness accounts, political analysis and criticism of the state violence against rural leftists and villagers, the violent record of El Salvador and its biggest supporter — the Reagan administration in Washington — is brought under full question, the survivors of its many brutalities lifted up in a liberatory and long overdue history of the counterrevolutionary violence in Central America during the 1980s which shocked the largely rural and agrarian population into accepting economic violence under austerity and neoliberalism during the 1990s.

The kiaʻi, known as protestors in the media, have prevailed through the attempts to resume the construction of this large telescope. More specifically, framing of the news media contextualizes the TMT controversy. The framing features selectivity and partiality in the news articles, mainly excluding the Native Hawaiian voice. Then, the melodramatic rhetoric elucidates a frame unique to the Hawaiian people also known as their philosophy of kapu aloha demonstrated in their social media accounts. Melodrama functions as the oppositional stance, and clarifies the cultural significance of Mauna Kea. The essay argues framing and melodrama work together to produce the Native Hawaiian narrative by using the mainstream media for their benefit.

Today, kanaka continue to resist colonial oppression and work together to establish their identity as a people through staying connected to their traditions. There are many community leaders that kanaka maoli look up to, one of them being Hinaleimoana Wong-Kalu. She is affectionately known as Kumu Hina who is an educator and community activist. The first section recalls her life story including her life growing up and achievements. Then, the essay delves into a TEDtalk by Wong-Kalu entitled “He Inoa Mana (A powerful name).” The first portion describes the rhetorical situation of the speech. Following the rhetorical situation, the essay explores Hawaiian rhetoric unique to kanaka maoli communication in Kumu Hina’s talk; concepts such as genealogical rhetoric and indigeneity, vivacity, resignification, and identification. Hawaiian influencers like Kumu Hina encourage young kanaka to embrace who they are and their culture to foster a strong lāhui (community, nation).

Taken with a single exposure lit by several colored lights, the translucent images show the mystery and energy of the workings of the brain. The work shows the way in which knowledge is social, and how sharing wisdom leads to new opportunities undiscovered. Analogous to research, the overlapping of minds creates interplays of warm colors, new shapes, and new faces. Yet, knowledge is also internal, bound by the shell which keeps the consciousness intact. Our thoughts and insights are our own until we choose to share them with the world. At first, knowledge is hazy, but with the help of others, it can be resolved into something sharp.

Based on prior research about writing development and the author's own experiences, a developmental scale was created that can be used to chart the typical course of a writer’s growth and understanding of writing. It is not strictly linear, and stages might be skipped, condensed, or combined. Like the writing process itself, the scale is recursive; ideally, the writer would get into a cycle of repeating the final two stages, building on former knowledge and always seeking new understandings that can be applied to both learning and teaching writing.

These relationships change as grandchildren mature and can result in new grandparent-grandchild connections based on communication, intimacy, and mutual respect (Sheehan & Petrovic, 2008). Utilizing a sample of grandfathers and young-adult grandchildren (N = 32), this study investigated the impact that grandfathers have on their young-adult grandchildren. Utilizing a life course perspective, we asked: a) How do grandfathers invest in the futures of their young-adult grandchildren? b) How do young-adult grandchildren recognize and receive their grandfather’s investments in their futures? Results suggest that grandfathers emphasized their grandparenting role but undervalued their contributions to their grandchildren. Grandfathers and grandchildren also did not always agree on the transmissions intended and received. When asked to recall meaningful memories of grandfathers, young-adult grandchildren were more likely to remember instances of shared hobbies, interests, and personal connection. Findings have implications for understanding and strengthening the ties between grandfathers and their grandchildren.

Sure, there were other things in life he wanted, like the latest video game, cool shoes, a new camera, a college degree, a sense of purpose. But the one thing that he’d wanted, in the back of his mind since he was eight years old, was to paint his nails bright red and walk out into the sunshine for everyone to see.

Abstract In this paper I analyze Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, and her TED Talk based off her book, “We Should All be Feminists.” Adichie is a Nigerian woman who has firsthand experience with feminist issues of inequality and she serves as a speaker and activist for issues of feminism and beyond. She is a renowned author, activist, academic, and a feminist. In hearing of her personal experiences regarding inequality, I realized I am able to identify parallels between her experiences and the inequalities which I have faced despite our vastly different origin stories. The importance of her work as a feminist is emphasized in her rhetorical techniques, such as using personal narratives and public vocabulary to bring connection and a sense of equality to her audience. Adichie urges society to modify their actions in order to promote and normalize feminism in a positive light.

Through the application of this framework, I am then able to conclude that the film does, in fact, “sustain systemic racism even though it appears to expose and condemn it” (McFarlane p. 82). By taking an in-depth look at the film, I am able to expose the myth of white superiority and assert that post-racism and white heroism are at the crux of media as it applies to the film industry. I analyze the film against the backdrop of Tokenism according to Cloud, as explained by Bineham in his article, How the Blind Side Blinds Us, and find that the responsibility of failure is removed from the systems of power and privilege that are largely creating the obstacles in Navy Diver Carl Brashear’s life in the first place, and positions that responsibility solely on Brashear himself. Through examining the facts of Carl Brashear’s real-life events and comparing them to the larger than life events that Hollywood created, I reframe the narrative of the film to find the ugly truth…racism sells.

Third places can help individuals age in place by contributing to the age-friendliness of communities (Banning, Clemons, McKelfresh, & Gibbs, 2010). Through a case study design, researchers used mixed methods to collect data from senior center members, senior center directors, and university administrators. Data were analyzed utilizing focused coding of open-ended responses and descriptive statistics from the quantitative data. Findings revealed implications related to lack of awareness, communication, and perceived barriers, contributing to overall goals of supporting older adults aging in place through creating opportunities for them to feel engaged and empowered in their communities.

Through an ideological critique, I argue that through the game’s portrayal of a Western European-stylized colonist power as a benign imperial influence and of other cultures as impotent and/or evil others, Western colonialism is idealized as an acceptable norm. The use of racial stereotyping through fantasy race-based societies serves to designate acceptable and unacceptable others especially in regards to Eastern/Orient-stereotyped cultures.

The importance of physical activity in older adult life is widely recognized, yet older adults are the least active age group in the United States (Bethancourt, Rosenburg, Beatty, & Arterburn, 2014). This qualitative study focused on physical activity through individual interviews with older men and women (N=10) residing in an independent living community. Understanding more about what contributes to engagement may help to improve wellness programs in independent living communities. Volume 7 Supported by Margaret M. Manoogian Note Margaret M.

To understand the impact of farming and processing practices on the quantity of bacteria and drug resistance, organic and regular beef were assessed using MacConkey media. Bacterial colonies were sorted according to lactose utilization, with positive colonies representing fecal E. coli. Lactose negative colonies were further characterized into one of two groups (fecal Hafnia-like or soil Pseudomonas) using a variety of metabolic tests (oxidase, sulfur, indole). Advanced metabolic testing showed that regular beef contained significantly more fecal E. coli-like bacteria, Hafnia-like bacteria and fecal Providencia-like bacteria than organic beef. Soil Pseudomonas was only isolated from regular beef. This procedure was repeated using MacConkey plates containing commonly used agricultural antibacterial drugs to assess the prevalence and types of drug-resistant bacteria. Bacteria resistant to penicillin, sulfamethazine, cefazolin, or ampicillin were found at significantly higher levels on regular beef than organic. Bacteria resistant to more than one of these drugs were only found on regular beef.

One quarter of Costa Rica’s export income comes from tourism, with ecotourism being the most prominent form of tourism. The field research of this study was conducted in the regions of Tárcoles, Carara National Park, and Jacó along the Pacific Coast in Costa Rica where tourists who visit other local attractions often bypass Tárcoles. It explored which services interest tourists, what activities tourists travel to Costa Rica for, and the sustainable services they are willing to pay for. Multiple surveys, semi-structured interviews, and participant observation were the methods for data collection. The analysis of the data suggests that there are opportunities in Tárcoles for the community to take advantage of the tourists visiting nearby attractions and develop sustainable services that preserve the environment and create economic benefits for locals.

Historically, correctional institutions were designed for young, able-bodied inmates. Today, correctional institutions are finding the need to make accommodations for the unique physical and cognitive needs of those over age 55. Due to lack of health care and illicit behaviors, individuals who are incarcerated typically experience negative outcomes of aging earlier than those in the general population. With increased sentence lengths and a decline in physical and cognitive abilities, correctional facilities are finding it necessary to identify and create modifications. Some of the challenges correctional institutions are facing include structural changes to buildings, programs to aid with physical and cognitive decline, assistance with activities of daily living, as well as palliative and hospice care services. This literature review discusses the challenges and adaptations needed as inmates age in place, as well as outlines some successful trainings to educate corrections employees on the unique needs of aging inmates.

Past research has focused on grandmothers, with little research explicitly investigating the experiences of grandfathers in families. This review assesses sociohistorical trends, demographic influences, gendered patterns, and changes that occur in grandfather-grandchild relationships throughout the lifecourse. We describe the roles grandfathers maintain in their grandchildren’s negotiation of psychosocial and ecological life course tasks, the change and stability they experience relative to sociohistorical trends, and how grandfathers reconfirm masculine norms through generativity and provision of instrumental support. Findings indicate that future research investigating how grandfathers and grandchildren define and value their roles from a dyadic perspective is warranted. Implications include increasing awareness surrounding the significance of the grandfather role across generations. Volume 7 Supported by Margaret M. Manoogian Note Margaret M.

He is also lauded in the halls of academia for his growing political radicalism prior to his assassination in 1968. Neither view of the man, however, generally acknowledges his deep-rooted political philosophy of Natural Law. This aspect of King, which informed his civic protest, speeches, and political ideology, has been given short shrift in recent decades. While popular culture credits his integrity and intellectuals admire his advocacy for significant reforms in domestic and foreign policy, Martin Luther King, Jr.'s principle tenet has been largely removed from public memory. This should be corrected, as King's arguments for civil rights, including the right to protest and equal protection under the law, were steeped in Natural Law philosophy.

In a stable environment, the evolution of innate preferences for specific host plants can increase feeding efficiency through stimulus filtering in a noisy environment. However, food choice plasticity, including the learning of new food cues, can allow survival when a population is faced with a changing environment. We used the caterpillars of cabbage whites, Pieris rapae, to test the hypothesis that preference for innate food cues would be stronger than for learned food cues. P. rapae caterpillars have sensitivity to a sugar compound, gluconasturtiin, found in their host plants, family Brassicaceae, which allows for search specificity to members of this family. We offered caterpillars, both in pairs and individually, choices between artificial food on which they had previously been reared (a learned cue) and kale, Brassica oleraceae, (an innate cue). Caterpillars grouped in pairs did not demonstrate a significant preference for either choice, although the first caterpillar in each pair to select a food item chose the innate cue of kale. Caterpillars tested individually showed a significant preference for the innate cue of kale, which persisted with experience. These individual results support our hypothesis that cabbage whites primarily use innate cues when choosing a food source. The presence of other caterpillars, however, may affect that choice, as observed in the initial group trials.

These claims arise from the idea that this type of footwear is designed to mimic barefoot running by featuring low cushion and negligible arch support. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether this type of footwear could be beneficial in other ballistic activities such as landing. The study included ten participants with an inclusion of five males and five females of various movement backgrounds. The participants conducted twelve trials in two footwear conditions on a force platform. The first condition was a self-selected athletic footwear and the other was the minimalist footwear. The force variable results were inconclusive but statistical significance was found from kinematic analysis in three areas (ankle angle, foot inclination, and ankle ROM) at two contact points (heel contact and maximum knee flexion) during the landings. Ultimately, this complex activity is dependent on many variables and more future studies are needed in order to state whether minimalist footwear can be beneficial in the reduction of injuries during ballistic activities.

Recent research on magnetoreception has focused on the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster primarily because of its role as a model organism for understanding the genetic mechanisms underlying behavioral traits. While current research suggests that Drosophila might be able to detect and orient to magnetic fields, different studies offer contradictory results. In this study, we used a Y-maze and selective breeding to attempt to create a population of fruit flies that display a robust magnetic orientation behavior. We used a Y-maze where each fly made 10 choices of whether to go north or south. Of flies that exited the maze, we selected the top 20% of flies from each run to produce the next generation. This protocol was repeated for 12 generations. Our data shows that wild-type Drosophila have no innate north or south preference, nor an innate east or west preference. Additionally, after 12 generations of selection, we have so far been unable to create populations of fruit flies with a magnetic orientation behavior. Further research includes continued selection on our current populations of flies as well as experimental design modifications that could possibly detect a more subtle magnetic orientation behavior.

Several years into the Democratic policies and gun control measures of the Clinton administration, Heston's Right-leaning speech critiqued the limitation of personal freedom and the national obsession with political correctness. While on the surface Heston’s speech reads (and probably sounded) inspirational and well-structured, it lacks the depth and clarity to spur long-lasting and specific change. Heston uses his image as an actor and as president of the NRA, as well as anecdotes and attempts at humor, to paint himself as a down-to-earth fatherly or professorial figure. He seems to hope and ask for a specific change, but his speech leaves a lot of room for (mis)interpretation.

The brochure was created as part of an identity project that WOU students worked on for local communities during fall 2014. About the brochure: This brochure can be seen as a very important media and tool which introduces this community to everyone who may be interested, including students, business people, families, and travelers. The most important purpose of this brochure is to attract more people to the community and give them as much information about this community as as possible. Thus, the images are the key parts rather than the text information itself. This brochure uses many high quality pictures on almost every page. People will be attracted by beautiful pictures, then start reading the text beside those pictures. This brochure also uses a lot of blank spaces rather than placing all the information in a very crowded way. Therefore, readers will not feel so tired of reading, and of course, they will have more time to enjoin each beautiful pictures. Above all, the unity and variety is used in a comfortable balance in this brochure, which will make readers have more fun and interest while reading.

These skulls are all very different in cranial features, but they are also some of the most complete and well preserved hominin skulls ever discovered. There is a major concern with these skulls, and with concern also comes controversy. We know that Homo erectus migrated from Africa into Eurasia. That is why some paleoanthropologists believe that, despite the cranial differences, the skulls found at the Dmanisi site all belong to Homo erectus. They claim that skeletal variations are common in a single species in multiple geographical locations. The opposing theory is that the remains seem to have both characteristics of Homo habilis and Homo erectus. They propose a new species called Homo georgicus, that fits between Homo habilis and Homo erectus. Using comparative analysis, I will demonstrate that the remains found at Dmanisi are in fact Homo erectus, and that the species as a whole contained many variable skeletal features throughout various populations, challenging current taxonomy and placing many species of Homo in the new Homo erectus spectrum.

Scholars who have studied these prehistoric representations of the female form have reached a variety of conclusions that may be better seen as a reflection of modern sociocultural values and ideals than being representative of the peoples who made the Venuses. I argue that by transposing our own ideals onto the Venus figurines, we act as colonizers and appropriators of the past. Reviewing archaeological literature regarding the Venuses, we gain a sense of the strengths and weaknesses of current approaches to interpreting representations of gender. These lessons serve as a starting point for constructing archaeological methods of interpreting representations of gender and gender relations in a way that more accurately reflects the ancient peoples who crafted these figurines.

This review examines perceived peer norms, traditional sexual scripts, and rape myths specific to consent. In particular, we describe findings about indirect, nonverbal communication and token resistance among young adults; we also connect sexual consent to rape myths about accidental or unintentional sexual behavior, perceived miscommunication, and preexisting sexual relationships. Based on these findings, we assert that additional research and interventions are needed to address barriers that hinder young adults from establishing affirmative sexual consent. We refer to the body of literature on sexual assault prevention. This literature sheds light on potential avenues for developing affirmative sexual consent interventions and evaluating their effectiveness.

Various versions of playing Nim on graphs have been investigated. We investigate a new version of Nim called Graph Nim. Given a graph with n vertices and multiple edges, players take turns removing edges until there are no edges left. Players have to choose a vertex and remove at least one edge incident to the chosen vertex. The player that removes the last edge or edges wins the game. In this paper, we give the solution for certain game boards of Graph Nim, compare the game of Graph Nim to another impartial combinatorial game, and discuss open problems.

Forensic anthropology is a relatively new field and yet it, like all sciences, is impacted by the works of those who came before. While forensic anthropology is aided by the classification groups created in the past, it is hindered by the mantel of racism that covers any study into human differences. This study was intended to determine how the general educated public, as portrayed by members of Western Oregon University, viewed forensic anthropological terminology and to establish whether or not this opinion was influenced by age, position at WOU, or ethnicity. Age appeared to be the most significant factor when studying a participant’s reaction to and understanding of the selected forensic anthropological terminology. Although a wide variety of participant definitions was given for each term, relatively few respondents connected the terms with the scientific use: racial classifications based on biological accumulation of traits seen in the skeleton. The wide variety of definitions indicates that the field of forensic anthropology in general, and at Western Oregon University specifically, has not satisfactorily educated the general public as to the use, and reason behind the use, of the terms Mongoloid, Negroid, and Caucasoid in their appropriate scientific setting. However, the forensic anthropology program at WOU has begun only recently. As the program expands and more members of the campus community, particularly students, understand the terms Mongoloid, Negroid, and Caucasoid in their proper forensic anthropological setting, perhaps we will see a trend towards unity in definitions in the coming years.

Unfortunately, it often causes a paradoxical increase in the frequency of such thoughts, both immediately (as an ‘initial enhancement effect’) and after thought suppression efforts have been ended (‘ironic rebound effect’). Research surrounding the role played by the valence of the relevant material on thought suppression efficacy has been limited. Despite this limitation, the current paper proposes to review the available thought suppression-valence literature and, from it, determine the role played by target valence on thought suppression efficacy and other suppression outcomes. Considered overall, the extant literature appears to suggest that target valence is not a major determinant of thought suppression outcomes, although further research is needed to confirm this theory.

Bullying is a serious issue for children and adolescents in schools. Research has consistently reported that bullying may cause lasting psychological and emotional problems (Mishna, Scarcello, Pepler, & Wiener, 2005). Teachers spend a significant amount of time with students at school and may be at the front-line of prevention and intervention strategies (Lund, Blake, Ewing, & Banks, 2012). One of the main determining factors in effectiveness of an anti-bullying program is the quality of staff training (Lund, et al., 2012). Research suggests that teachers are in great need of and desire more training on the topic of school bullying, its prevention, and effective intervention strategies. This review will highlight specific research areas where more information is needed about teachers’ perceptions, knowledge, and training regarding bullying in schools and how school districts can best use this information to target training programs for teachers.

Guided by the lifecourse perspective, the authors examined how mother-daughter relationships were renegotiated across the life course; focusing on the later stages of the life course when support exchanges and future care plans may be needed for older mothers. Emotional and instrumental supports were exchanged between all dyads regardless of relationship quality, with only emotionally close dyads exchanging financial support. The flow of support was predominantly downward, although it was more reciprocal in dyads with mothers in poor health. Most dyads had emotionally close relationships and had assumptions for future care, most often informal care; only 1 dyad had concrete plans. Results indicate that mothers may be reluctant to discuss future health constraints and daughters may be less inclined to consider future caregiving responsibilities. One potential outcome that may emerge is that the care that gets put into place is not the care that older mothers may have preferred. More resources are needed to help families discuss future support needs. Older women who are most likely to need care from adult children, typically daughters, may especially benefit from educational programs that include their family members.

It was found that scores on this questionnaire were significantly different based on self-labeling, such that participants who were told the woman in the photograph self-labeled as a feminist perceived her to be more adhering to traditional feminist stereotypes. Participants also completed the Bem Sex Role Inventory (Bem, 1981) as they believed a “Typical Feminist” or a “Typical Woman” would. A “Typical Woman” was perceived to be fairly androgynous, while a “Typical Feminist” had more extreme masculine and feminine scores. Overall, the findings of this study indicate that the feminist stereotype may be changing and that “typical women” can also be perceived to possess traits in accordance with the feminist stereotype.

This study was designed to explore potential issues within this important group and specifically examined the relationship between loneliness and stress for novice ESOL teachers. Forty-seven novice ESOL teachers completed self-report measures assessing their levels of perceived stress and loneliness. The results revealed that loneliness significantly predicted perceived stress (β = .51, p < .001.). Furthermore, exploratory analyses indicated that marital status influenced loneliness ratings but not stress levels. These findings indicate that for novice teachers that often teach abroad, feelings of loneliness are an important issue to consider.

The common experiences of Parkinson’s can offer insight as to how provide better care by addressing multiple domains in a person’s life. This hypothetical case study highlights commonalities shared by those with Parkinson’s that spans across social, emotional and biological aspects of life. Possible treatment strategies are discussed concerning the impacts of fatigue, social isolation, increased burdens of care, and family dynamics in order to offer insight to care providers as to the range of care needed by those with Parkinson’s disease. The goal of this article is to highlight that, while interventions are needed to address the disease, providers should be mindful that interventions are also needed to limit the negative impacts of Parkinson’s on a person’s life experience.

SLUMS Abstract Practitioners have long relied upon the Mini Mental Status Exam (MMSE) to quickly assess cognitive functioning in older adults. The Saint Louis University Mental Status (SLUMS) exam possesses many potential psychometric advantages, however data on the relationship between scores on the SLUMS and MMSE has yet to be established. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to establish comparative norms between the MMSE and the SLUMS examinations. The current study hypothesized that participants would score lower on the SLUMS than the MMSE, with adults exhibiting higher levels of cognitive reserve, as measured by educational attainment, having a greater difference between the test scores. A total of 118 individuals (96 female, 21 male) with an age range from 41 to 96 (M=80.03, SD=8.71) with an average educational attainment of 14.97 years (SD= 2.68), completed both tests. Results indicate a significant difference between the mean SLUMS and MMSE scores (p<.001), as well as a significant difference between those in assisted and independent living environments (p<.001). The evidence did not support the cognitive reserve hypothesis. Implications and suggestions for future research will be discussed.

Consequently, the aim of this study is to examine the relationship between gender, optimism, and perceived teaching performance amongst novice ESOL teachers. Graduates from two hybrid TESOL graduate programs (N=47) were sampled and surveyed. Optimism significantly predicted perceived teaching performance, t(43)= 3.17, p=.003 and there was an marginal association between gender and perceived teaching performance, t(43)= -1.92, p=.06. Further analyses indicated that the mean ratings of teaching performance were significantly different between men and women, F(1, 45)= 5.12, p=.03. In sum, our results suggest that gender and optimism are factors in perceptions of teacher efficacy amongst novice ESOL teachers. The findings of this study with optimism, gender, and teaching performance not only add empirical data for this group, but also provides a platform to further examine this unique population.

Calories are vital for proper cognitive function and development. Previous research has reported a wide array of cognitive deficits associated with malnutrition in early childhood and delayed development in children whose mother consumed inadequate nutrition during pregnancy. Previous research has also reported a wide array of cognitive deficits associated with calorie restriction, as well as demonstrated increased cognitive performance after the administration of nutrients. Lastly, research is beginning to more thoroughly examine the relationship of preoccupying cognitions surrounding body image and cognitive deficits to better understand this component of thought and its effect on cognitive performance. In the current analysis, it is suggested that the association between nutrition and cognition is multifaceted, with both physiological and psychological components implicated.

How does something so pervasive in our lives, such as music, remain a mystery to us? Music preference has been studied on many levels and the factors that influence the types of music we prefer are numerous, including genres, exposure, personality, and musical characteristics. However, our understanding of how and why music preferences are formed is still fragmented. We can narrow down music preferences into two broad categories: intrinsic and extrinsic qualities. In attempt to explore these characteristics, three commonly emerging theories concerning musical preference formation will serve as the foundation: repeated exposure, social learning, and inherent musical qualities. The current paper aims to draw on these theories in relation to the development and reasoning behind our musical preferences.

Dr. Lobnibe, my mentor and adviser, has encouraged my development as a student of anthropology and has reinforced my fondness for the subject. Through his engaging passion of cultural anthropology, I was inspired to study abroad in Accra, Ghana in 2011. I would also like to recognize the staff of the Aya Centre in East Legon, Ghana, who allowed for an easy acclimation to the Ghanaian lifestyle. Additional thanks are warranted to the staff of SISS, who provided me with the social network necessary to develop a rapport with the kayayei of Agbogbloshie.

The Kayayei (singl. kayayoo) is a Ga term that describes these young women who carry goods and wares for a fee. A majority of them have migrated from the northern and rural parts of Ghana to earn a sure income in the southern cities. First, the topic is introduced with a case study based on a personal interview with a kayayoo. Next, the characteristics of the slum, Agbogbloshie, are explored. The cultural and socio-economic difficulties facing these women are discussed. This essay posits that the cultural and socio-economic challenges that a kayayoo faces seem to be largely based on cultural traditions and socio-economic factors that constitute the burden of the kayayei. The paper concludes with some suggestions of how the kayayei can break the bonds of the informal sector.

They have been victims of xenophobia and structural violence for centuries. This has led to segregation in nearly all aspects of their life, from housing to medical care to employment to education; the latter is the focus of this paper. Roma children are often forced into segregated schools, or into special/remedial programs. This paper looks at issues that have led to such an educational dichotomy, and the negative impact they have had on the Roma. The paper also looks at the perpetuating cycle that these educational issues are feeding.

The aim of this review was to compare and contrast research on non-incarcerated, “Corporate Psychopaths” to distinguish who they are and where they are most likely to be found. It was discovered that Corporate Psychopaths, while retaining a higher executive functioning than their incarcerated counterparts, displayed many psychopathic traits that relate back to disruptive behavior in the business world. Based on a review of the literature we have concluded that these individuals mainly reside in higher management, high power roles in companies, and that this information is of particular use for human resource hiring and promoting personnel in order to maintain a healthy business that abides by accepted ethical standards Volume 1 Supported by Rob Winningham Note Rob Winningham --
