Withstanding Pressure: The impact of Transnational Forces and Social Force on Political Structures in the Iranian Green Movement of 2009 and the Arab Spring in Egypt during 2011
No full textIn this paper I will argue that the Egyptian uprising in 2011 succeeded due to Political decay: simplicity, rigidity, subordination and disunity of the state system, leading to the unity of social forces whose clear objective was the removal of Mubarak. In addition to this, I will consider the impact of the U.S transnational force supporting the uprising in the end. In contrast, the Iranian state system withstood the movement of protest, even with the existence of U.S transnational forces supporting the protesters. The Iranian state system withstood protest due to the modernization of its state system its complexity, adaptability, autonomy and coherence resulted in disunity among social forces on the streets. Humanities is an interdisciplinary study that covers a range of studies. This research is relevant to the study of humanities in that it looks at a gap in analyzing the events of the Arab Spring and the Iran Green movements. When looking at both events, many studies examine either the role of social media on the Arab spring and Iran Green movement, or examine the political decay of the state systems. The events of the Arab Spring and Iran Green movement have many more complexities than can be explained by looking only at the technological aspects or the political structures of the time. Humanities, within global ethics and human securities studies, fill this gap. This study looks at the relationship between transnational force and social force through political decay and its effect on the outcomes of uprisings. The importance of this research lies in the fact that there are very few comparison studies of Iran 2009 and Egypt 2011. Most writing on the subject either considers observations purely of the Arab world or only of one country. Iran and Egypt had a very different outcomes after these events, both countries share a lot of history and are important in the region. I will be using the John Stuart Mill system of logic- method of difference, where one considers two cases which had very different outcomes, although were similar in events
Rose Island’s role as part of the Naval Torpedo Station at Newport
Get PDFThis paper documents Rose Island\u27s role as part of the Naval Torpedo Station at Newport and was the continuation of Islands of the Narragansett Bay Interdisciplinary Project. As a large portion of Rose Island’s eighteenth and mid-nineteenth century history has been documented, the continuation of documenting Rose Island’s twentieth century history includes its role as part of the Naval Torpedo Station at Newport. After researching the Torpedo Station in Newport, it was discovered that Rose Island played a small but vital role in this large military installation. It was used for ammunition storage, but its role is just as important to document to produce as much of the island’s history as possible.https://digitalcommons.salve.edu/ric_research/1003/thumbnail.jp

Designing a Curriculum for Addressing Human Enhancement and Transhumanism
No full textThis dissertation demonstrates the need for higher education to address human enhancement and transhumanism, and then offers a curriculum design for accomplishing the task by leveraging an already growing trend in education known as the “STEAM” movement. The STEAM acronym represents the integration of the “arts” with the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) disciplines. This dissertation reviews the STEAM philosophy and its adaptation to the higher education setting, and then proposes improvements to the STEAM framework for addressing specific needs of 21st century learning. To appropriately address the concepts of transhumanism, and more generally, human enhancement, an idea for “STEAM Labs” will be introduced. STEAM Labs, which would facilitate transdisciplinary project-based learning, could be used as a framework for implementing an emerging academic branch known as the metahumanities in order to address transhumanism. Illustrating that idea, this dissertation offers a design for a curriculum in the metahumanities
The Implementation of Screening Pediatric Patients Ages 8–11 for Depression with a Screening Tool in the Outpatient Setting
No full textDepression has been found in children as young as three years of age, yet current guidelines recommend depression screening at age 12. The purpose of this DNP project is to identify areas of improvement for depression screening in pediatrics. The DNP project highlights the necessary measures an APRN can implement for beneficial changes in the outpatient primary care setting. The project aims to address whether screening for depression in pediatric patients ages 8-11 identifies those at risk utilizing a reliable pre-existing screening tool in the outpatient primary care setting. A validated screening tool, the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale in Children (CES-DC), was provided to a sample of 50 pediatric patients ages 8-11, at a single community health center. The pediatric patients had pre-established primary care in order to ensure the positive screening tools were properly managed by appropriate personnel based on the discretion of the primary care provider. The screening took place over eight weeks and required informed consent from the legal guardian/parent as well as assent from the pediatric patient. Of the analyzed 50 pediatric patients, 34% screened positive on the CES-DC screening tool. No differences were found for age, gender, or mode of completion among those who screened positive. Results highlight the need for further implementation of pediatric depression screening in the outpatient primary care setting, in addition to further research and development of validated pediatric depression screening tools on pediatric patients 8-11. Keywords: pediatric, depression, screening tool, outpatient, primary car
Handling Ethical Codes
Get PDFEthical codes are sets of ethical principles intended to offer guidance in deciding between right and wrong. Typically, they are needed by, and found in, documents of professional organizations. They work best when the person applies every relevant principle to the question at hand and scrutinizes all anticipated consequences, with a view to decision. The same procedure works even in conflict-of-interest situations, i.e. when otherwise good principles will achieve conflicting consequences; the decision should come from that principle which will generate the least bad consequences
Machiavelli in Modernity: The Prince\u27s Continued Relevancy as Reflected in the Fall of Imperial Russia
No full textNiccolò Machiavelli’s The Prince has sparked controversy and debate since its release in the 16th century. Among the mixed reviews of his treatise, Machiavelli is classified as either the father of modern political thought or a benefactor to tyrants. By avoiding the reduction of his theoretical legacy to simplistic Machiavellianism, this project contends that The Prince postulates a perceptive analysis of the methods needed to maintain a state by promoting a universal and timeless portrayal of statecraft. In defense of this argument, The Prince\u27s critical insight will be juxtaposed with the circumstances surrounding the disintegration of Imperial Russia to illustrate the theoretical and pragmatic utility of Machiavellian principles within the modern world
