An exploratory descriptive study to examine the relationship between self-esteem and spirtuality among African-American women recovering from crack cocaine addiction, 2001
Get PDFThis study examined the relationship between African-American women addicted to crack cocaine and the role that spirituality and self-esteem plays in their recovery. The sample consisted of thirty African-American women. They were all customers of the Adopt-A-Family Program, having been in treatment from one to thirteen months for their addiction. The questionnaire was distributed by the agency to the thirty women and contained questions related to the independent variable, crack cocaine addiction, and the dependent variables (spirituality and self-esteem). Answers were based on a Lilcert-type scale where one equal rarely or none of the time and five equal most of the time. After conducting a statistical analysis using Chi-square test and running the frequencies of the variables, it was proven that there is a statistically significant relationship between the variables. Therefore, the null hypothesis was rejected

A Study Examining Contributing Factors That Impact the Persistence of African-American Girls Completing a 4-Year High School Program and Strategies for Improvement, 2019
No full textThe purpose of this mixed methodological study was to discover the possible causes of persistence for African-American high school girls attending a 4-year program in Mississippi. Currently there is a precise focus on African-American high school girls and the detrimental outcomes that follow as a consequence of behavioral referrals within schools. Unfortunately, the narrative of African-American high schools girls centers on discipline as a leading concern in their academic performances. This study sought to determine whether student perception of completing a 4-year high school program plays a significant role for African-American girls. Support systems of teachers towards high school African-American girls were assessed in consideration for the educational professionals and their influence to the academic advancement of students. Lastly, the social influences of social media were investigated as a contemporary factor for African- American girls considering completing a 4-year program. The consideration of organizational structures that are not conducive to the advancement of high school graduation is the primary discussion for educational leaders to evaluate.

Get PDFAfrointratextuality as a means of examining folklore in the emancipation narratives of Frederick Douglass, William Wells Brown, and Harriet Jacobs, 1997
No full textThis study examines the use and documentation of folklore within Emancipation narratives. This examination is predicated on the behavior of the trickster, Brer Rabbit. Through analysis of Brer Rabbits behavior, three survival techniques used by the authors in this study function as a means of determining his importance to African Americans. Through research and comparison of narratives, examination of historical references, and critical analyses, the researcher evaluated the behavior and experiences of African Americans within captivity to establish the use of folklore as a survival mechanism. By application of a methodology which evaluates African American experience and culture, the researcher sought to reinforce the connection between literature and culture. The researcher determined that cultural retention was evident and necessary to African Americans regardless of their circumstances. The conclusions of this analysis validate the importance of the narrative as a historical and cultural source for African American existence in America. The researchers methodology suggests that the use of folklore within the narrative is derivative of the imitation and revision of linguistic and physical motion specific to African American culture
The implementation of a graphics package in ADA, 1986
Get PDFThe motivation for this thesis was the need for an inexpensive graphics package that could be used to support courses in computer graphics and computer vision in the Mathematical and Computer Sciences Department of Atlanta University. The implemented graphics package used a portion of the CORE Graphics System and the hardware used consisted of Zenith Z-100 micro-computers in the Micro-computer Laboratory of Atlanta University. This graphics system was initially implemented in the Microsoft Pascal programming language. Due to limitations inherent in Pascal, the initial graphics package did not represent the best design practices. The graphics package was converted and expanded using the Ada programming language. The Ada programming language had the ability to satisfy all of the objectives of this project which were: to create a graphics package that was portable, expandable, represented the best software design practices, and able to support computer courses at Atlanta University. Discussed in this thesis are the basic features of the extended graphics system in Ada, the general principles, an operation guide, and problems encountered using the CORE Graphics System
