Optimal Treatment for Adhesive Capsulitis: Corticosteroid Injections with Manual Therapy Interventions
Get PDFAdhesive capsulitis, also known as frozen shoulder, is defined by the restriction of active and passive glenohumeral motion in all planes that is also accompanied by shoulder pain. It is most common in women between the ages of 40-60 and presents as symptoms of pain and decreased shoulder range of motion which progressively worsen over time. With the lack of knowledge by researchers regarding the etiology of adhesive capsulitis, it raises many unanswered questions including, Which treatment approach is best?” Different treatment approaches for this condition may include local anesthetics, nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), oral steroids, steroid injections, arthroscopic surgery, suprascapular nerve block, mobilization under anesthesia, and physical therapy. This poster outlines the research associated with determining the effectiveness of two different interventions used together: corticosteroid injections and glenohumeral joint manipulations in physical therapy

Bias in the Stacks: Seeking Justice on the Shelves (Video Presentation)
No full textWords matter. To make materials findable, libraries have relied on subject headings and classification numbers to organize their resources. Have you ever wondered how these subjects or classification numbers were developed? Both the Dewey Decimal Classification and Library of Congress Classification were developed with a Western-centric, white, Christian, male perspective. How does the language we use in our subject headings reinforce marginalization? In what ways can libraries reconcile the inequalities found in these standardized policies to be inclusive of diverse and multicultural perspectives? What are Messiah’s Murray Library and other institutions doing to create balance?

Andromache
Get PDFThis project is a fictional adaptation of The Iliad, told from the third-person perspective of Andromache, the wife of Trojan commander Hector. Andromache attempts to present a consistent Trojan female voice in its telling, as well as a picture of a committed marriage. It seeks to capture the complicated humanity of individual characters rather than the archetypal objectivity of Homer’s poem. And, most importantly, it tries to provide moments of goodness, fidelity, and hope in the face of immorality, unfaithfulness, and despair

Nonprofit Narratives: Faith-Based Organizations, the Gospel Mission, and You
Get PDFThis study involved an in-depth investigation into how overtly Christian 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations incorporate the use of storytelling into their external communications through the lens of Walter Fisher’s narrative paradigm theory. Key theoretical streams examined as a part of the literature review include organizational mission communication with an emphasis in faith-based nonprofits, as well as organizational storytelling. This research study explored the following questions: “How do faith-based nonprofit organizations use narrative storytelling via social media to communicate their organizational missions within their circle of influence?” and “How do faith-based nonprofit organizations use narrative storytelling via social media to invite their audiences to join in taking action to fulfill their organizational missions?” Data gathering occurred through content analysis of organizational communications from five nonprofit organizations’ social media channels. All of the organizations advocate for different causes and complete different work, but remain united in the foundation of Christian faith. This textual analysis adds to the body of public relations knowledge regarding organizational mission storytelling as well as audience support motivation. In particular, using Fisher’s principles of narrative provides a unique perspective on public relations efforts of faith-based organizations and the role that storytelling plays in the effectiveness of these efforts. Applying and building on Fisher’s narrative paradigm, this content analysis explores these issues in the distinct organizational context of overtly Christian nonprofits -- a complex setting that has not yet been studied in all its facets. This study has notable applications for faith-based nonprofit organizations to find ways to further execute their organizational mission through harnessing the power of storytelling. There are also relevant implications for constituents as they consume such stories and choose nonprofits and missions to support
Educating and Debating Social and Political Issues in the Naperville Lyceum
Get PDFThis historical research responds to a call from other scholars to allow thetopics discussed in the lyceum of the nineteenth century to shed light onthe social consciousness of the frontier settlements of the era. The recentdiscovery of the “Proceedings of the Naperville Lyceum” (1836-1843)provided the means to do this. Since political topics were clearly central tothe Naperville Lyceum members, this research focused on those items. Itis revealing that lyceum topics in this location were not self-absorbed. Thedebated topics included several global issues and did not simplychampion the American status quo. It suggests that the frontier settlers ofNaperville were concerned with concerns of justice as citizens of acosmopolitan world, one in which they valued self-governance. The studyfurther reveals how some topics have continued to be politically relevantfor more than 180 years since the Naperville Lyceum began. Many of thesame topics are prominent in modern political discussion and debate
