The Effects of Exercise and Human Relationships on Interpreting
Get PDFIn this action research project, I analyzed the impact exercise and human relationships had on my interpreting work. It is well known that exercise and human relationships and connection do influence our actions and behavior in a manner. In this current research, I explore exercise and human relationship, in its own entity and then compare the two to each other, and see their influence towards interpreting. The aim of this study is to contribute to the field of American Sign Language/English interpreting by adding knowledge of what I found through this research about exercise, human relationships and the extent they impact my interpreting. Providing more facts to show the implications of applying self-care to one’s daily routine, in hope to promote improvement in interpreter’s work. The method conducted for this action research project is through the mode of journaling, logs, and a recording of a work sample. I would make note of my day considering what I observed in my work, my workouts, the interactions I had with people, and when and if these two self-care approaches were implemented. I used the qualitative method approach to analysis the data. Through this, I focus on myself and interpreting by making alterations to the amount of exercise and human relationships and/or connections I incorporate into my self-care (before and after work). The results of the study show that human relationships and connections have a bigger impact on my interpreting work than exercise and the two together are stronger and more influential. By exploring exercise and human connection, I get to investigate self-care, its importance, and benefits while interpreting
Weapons of Mass Creation
Get PDFWhat are math wars? Why do they exist? This is a disagreement created by those who decide how we educate students. With this ongoing war on math, we have undoubtedly created ways to improve our ways of student learning. In my poster, I will be introducing the effects on students from math wars and ways we can counteract them to benefit student learning. I will also be examining helpful tools like project-based learning, the communicative approach, and mixed-attainment grouping that we can use to improve student learning capabilities
The Year of the Cyber Athlete: Electric Boogaloo Edition
Get PDFIn this video we will analyze some of the mathematics behind a card shuffling technique known as the perfect shuffle in a simulated casino environment. Specifically, we’ll examine an application that sets up three different online blackjack casinos each with different variations. The casinos will only use perfect shuffles to shuffle the deck before each hand of blackjack. Due to already proven theorems regarding perfect shuffles, this will enable us to determine all possible outcomes regarding winning and losing. (You don’t win every time!) This will then reveal to us the best strategies to maximize earnings over time in each casino, all while appearing as unsuspicious as possible
Understanding Intergenerational Conflict
No full textUnderstanding Intergenerational Conflict
This presentation will introduce findings of current research being completed here are Western Oregon University. The focus of the research is on patterns of conflict among Latinx that may come from cultural expectations. We will explore if the presence of conflict is perceived differently among those coming from a collectivistic culture and potential conflicts between emerging adults and parents. We discuss with students how these conflicts affect relationships and consequences that may emerge. As well as explore our ethnic cultural norms and experiences with conflict and non-family related issues and challenges. In addition to exploring possible conflicts the Latinx population may experience we will provide psychoeducation and coping skills that can support mental health when facing conflict
PURE Insights Volume 9 Cover Image
Get PDFThis cover was designed to reflect the idea of how many college students begin to feel like their campus is an extension of themselves. 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
An Awakening of the Hawaiian Way of Life: Framing Kapu Aloha and the Mauna Kea Controversy
Get PDFThis essay undertakes a framing and melodramatic analysis of the media coverage of Mauna Kea and the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT). 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
Food Allergies and Identity Construction in Young Adults
Get PDFThe role of food allergies in the process of identity construction is understudied in adult populations. Past research has explored the mental/emotional, social, and physical impacts of food allergies in children; however, less is known about adult experiences. Regardless of age, individuals with severe allergies must modify their behaviors to prevent reactions and comfortably navigate life. As evidence suggests a connection between childhood food allergy and self-perception, it is unknown if these attitudes and behaviors contribute to their construction of adult identities. There is much to discover regarding the manifestation and development of allergic practices in adults, as well as the social influences responsible for them. This study aims to examine how self-reported perceptions of allergy-specific experiences relate to identity construction in food-allergic young adults
