Baseline Survey of Diatom Assemblages in Freshwater Bodies of Central Florida
No full textDiatoms are well established in their usefulness to determine water quality and habitat assessments. In Central Florida, no research has been devoted to creating a baseline assemblage of freshwater diatoms. This study uses pH, conductivity, water temperature, dissolved oxygen, total nitrogen and total phosphorous to examine the relationship between environmental variables and diatom species composition among eight different sites. Environmental variables were not found to have a statistically significant impact on diatom assemblages in any of the water bodies; however, species composition was significantly different between sites, establishing a baseline of data for further studies to build upon. Although no species was found in every water body, the most common species among the study sites include Nitzchia amphibia, Staurosira construens, and an unknown diatom

Autism Training at a Small Liberal Arts College: Librarian Perceptions and Takeaways
Get PDFWhile there has been some research about the intersection of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and larger research libraries, less work has been done in other academic library settings. To assess librarians’ knowledge of ASD, the authors administered an ASD training manual and subsequent survey to academic librarians at a liberal arts college library in the Southeast. The librarians found the training about ASD itself to be most valuable. Additionally, they gave positive assessments of their ability to serve students with ASD both at the individual and institutional levels. This suggests that librarians recognize the importance of serving this unique population
Owning Your Story: Agency, Power, and Freedom in Greta Gerwig’s Faithful and Radical Little Women Adaptation
Get PDFLouisa May Alcott’s Little Women (1868) has an extensive lineage of film adaptations. The classic novel’s most recent film adaptation was written for the screen and directed by Greta Gerwig (2019). This thesis employs adaptation theory as well as visual and verbal close reading and critical analysis of the film, source novel, and popular film reviews. Gerwig’s adaptation looks, sounds, and feels like the Little Women that has been cherished for decades. The director fulfills these aesthetic expectations to subvert our understandings of sentimentalism, domesticity, individuality, and the relinquishment of childhood. An examination of art’s imitation of life, the epistolary and intertextuality, and cinematography and storytelling reveal how Gerwig’s transformative film is both faithful and radical to Alcott’s text. In doing so, Gerwig offers adult women agency, power, and freedom in a way that most film adaptations, and even the original novel, never have
