Holistics and Foundations of Culture-Space Economics Holistics and Foundations of Culture-Space Economics Volume I Holistics and Foundations of Culture-Space Economics: Volume I
No full textSituated in the light of holistics and its various formulations of systrix, this book advances a series of frontier lectures on culture–space economics, ultimately grounded in the mutual economy. It develops a coherent framework of wealth creation and accumulation coupled with humane distribution, through which the economic mechanisms of twenty-first-century earth–space transformations are explored. Beyond this theoretical inquiry, the book engages in an in-depth analysis of hegemonic competition between Type I and Type II economies (in abstraction, China and the United States), with the broader aim of discerning conditions conducive to enduring universal peace.https://digitalcommons.salve.edu/fac_staff_ebooks/1008/thumbnail.jp
Italian National Identity since the Risorgimento: A Discursive and Historiographical Analysis
No full textAbstract This dissertation analyzes the development of national consciousness in Italy since unification. Specifically, it aims to use the methods of content and discursive analysis and the methods of historiography to analyze the writings, speeches, articles, letters, and books written by some of the prominent figures in modern Italian political, intellectual, and cultural history. By analyzing the writings of such figures as Mazzini, Garibaldi, Giolitti, Gentile, and Mussolini, the dissertation will demonstrate whether and to what extent a national consciousness exists in the Italy of today as a result of the “historical process” beginning immediately preceding the Risorgimento. Finally, the dissertation demonstrates whether this sense of national identity, to the degree that it exists, no matter how tenuously, now coexists with the various regional consciousnesses that have historically been deeply entrenched in Italy. Moreover, it also seeks to tease out the interplay and the relationship between modern Italian national consciousness and the conception of a modern sense of a European identity that has been promoted and developed by the European Union. The existence of this relationship and the strength of its influence in Italy, and how it in turn redounds on modern Italian political and cultural life, will be examined with an eye to the breakdown of post-1945 models of Italian political development, the rise of the far right, and how this national consciousness compares to an emerging European identity

Reclaiming a Participation: Our Everyday Experiences of Art, Sacredness, and Creativity
No full textThis dissertation shows that we have neglected our everyday experiences of art, sacredness, and creativity and that our everyday lives benefit when we participate in those experiences. The dissertation further shows that we can reclaim this participation so that our everyday lives are more interesting and meaningful. This dissertation considers the concepts of reclaiming and participation and how these concepts apply to ways we can experience art, sacredness, and creativity in our everyday lives. It investigates the aspect of everydayness in our daily, ordinary lives. It explores the concept of everyday creativity, how it has been ignored, and how each of us is creative throughout the day. The dissertation describes how our everyday lives are filled with experiences of sacred things and places. It explores our appreciation of art and the ordinary things in our everyday world and examines the authenticity in our own selves and our everyday experiences. It then considers how our experiences of art, sacredness, and creativity interpenetrate one another in our daily lives. It also investigates how our actions may enable us to have a greater awareness and understanding of the everyday experiences of art, sacredness, and creativity and how these actions allow us to reclaim a participation in those experiences
Difficulties with Cultural Heritage Management in Syria: Daesh, UNESCO, and Eurocentrism
Full text linkThis paper will discuss the difficulties with cultural heritage management in Syria, arguing that while all cultural heritage sites deserve to be protected in times of war, global attention and preservation efforts are disproportionately focused on celebrity sites which leaves vernacular sites unprotected and unknown. Therefore, in times of conflict, it is essential to adopt more inclusive heritage management so that more sites and communities are protected. To prove this, this paper will analyze two case studies in Syria, the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Palmyra and the Armenian Holy Martyrs Church, and the differences in the global attention they received when they were each destroyed

Sepsis Alert Implementation to Improve the Door to Antibiotics Time in Adult Patients in the Emergency Setting
No full textSepsis is a severe condition in which the body responds improperly to an infection, requiring timely intervention. Reducing the time of antibiotic administration is crucial for improving patient outcomes. By exploring the effectiveness of the alert system and best practices in the literature, the quality improvement project plans to assess areas to expedite sepsis management and enhance patient care among adult patients in the emergency department setting. The quality improvement project will implement a sepsis alert system in the adult emergency department to reduce door-to-antibiotic times from \u3e90 minutes pre-implementation to \u3c60 minutes post-implementation. Database searches included PubMed, EBSCOhost, Google Scholar, National Library of Medicine, and McKillop Library
“Tw-ironic : The Ironic Consumption of Media Examined Through Twilight
Full text link“It’s so bad it’s good” is a phrase often uttered in order to justify watching, reading, or listening to a piece of media with a poor reputation.

Anti-feminism as a Forecasting Barometer for Political Radicalization: The Case of Bosnia and Herzegovina
No full textRight-wing and nationalist movements in disparate parts of the world have gathered significant strength in recent years. This dissertation investigates how anti-feminism and misogyny operate as sociocultural enablers of radicalization in Bosnia and Herzegovina, shaping both individual pathways to extremism and broader ideological movements. Situated at a critical juncture between European and Middle Eastern cultural influences, Bosnia and Herzegovina has long been a crossroads of cultures. Notably, Western Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy, Islam and, to a lesser extent, Judaism, all of which have established deep and historic cultural traditions. Each has also contributed significantly to the country’s entrenched patriarchal norms. The post-World War II establishment of what would become the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia attempted to enforce a break with these traditional, patriarchal gender roles with a series of highly progressive constitutions enshrining gender equality. This period of communist governance reflected economic growth and increased participation by women in the labor force while simultaneously suppressing religious practices. During the Yugoslav period, Bosnia and Herzegovina’s society began to reflect this attempt to reconfigure gender dynamics and gender roles. However, the collapse and disintegration of Yugoslavia in the 1990s and the subsequent 1992-1995 Bosnian War reversed many advances women made during the Yugoslav era as women faced not only a reversion to increased religiosity but also found themselves trapped between increasingly significant radical ethno-nationalist ideologies.
This dissertation investigates how Islamist and far-right ethno-nationalist groups in Bosnia and Herzegovina deploy anti-feminist rhetoric to justify political and social control. While both ideologies claim to protect traditional family structures, they do so in ways that reinforce male dominance and suppress gender equality. This study situates these narratives within Bosnia and Herzegovina’s post-war sociopolitical landscape, drawing on expert interviews and existing literature to analyze the implications of gender-based radicalization. This research explores the link between anti-feminist discourse and radicalization intrinsic in Bosnia and Herzegovina’s thoroughly polarized society using a range of qualitative methodologies to include a series of expert interviews
