No full textThe image depicts a tabletop setup with two electronic devices and headphones. On the left, a tablet with a light grey case displays a courtroom scene with a person at the witness stand and the Court TV logo on the screen. Black over-ear headphones with a tangled wire are positioned in front of the tablet. On the right, a laptop with a space grey finish shows an image of a person kayaking on calm water. A white index card with handwritten text lies on the table near the headphones. The tabletop is white, and a piece of clothing is partially visible on the left side. The background appears to be a slightly cluttered room. **Note: There is only one image for this presentation***https://digitalcommons.unomaha.edu/tellallthetruthspring2025/1001/thumbnail.jp
INTEGRATIVE VS INTEGRATION : STEM SKILLS AND CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT IN 6TH GRADE STUDENTS
Get PDFAs a whole, interest in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education in schools is on the rise at a national level, and it is widely recognized that the development of skills and concepts in science, technology, engineering, and math are not only beneficial to students, but are in fact necessities for future citizens of an increasingly global world (Kelley & Knowles, 2016.) Despite this increasing acceptance and awareness of the need for STEM literacy, there is a critical lack of guidelines on what STEM education actually entails and how to effectively integrate these concepts and skills into the educational system. Approaches span a broad range of ideas, from perspectives encouraging STEM integration to be more dynamic and led by students to other viewpoints emphasizing the more typical procedure of teacher-led learning. Situated in a metropolitan elementary school, this study examines a University-School District partnership through an undergraduate research experience which aims to determine how young students best learn and develop STEM knowledge and skills

A Hidden Life on the Way of the Cross: Terrence Malick and the Cultivation of Character
Get PDFTerrence Malick’s film A Hidden Life depicts the resistance of the Austrian farmer Franz Jägerstätter against the Nazi regime and its demands that he serve Nazi war aims and swear an oath of loyalty to Adolf Hitler. Unlike other resistance films set in Nazi Germany or the Greater German Reich, which depict resistors conspiring to overthrow the regime or actively working toward its downfall, A Hidden Life presents a man’s simple and emphatic “No” to the Nazi regime and its ideology. The film does not simply show how Jägerstätter said “No,” but reveals how he was able to say “No” in the first place, when all those around him, his countrymen and even members of his family, wanted him to acquiesce, give in, and serve the Nazi regime. This article will examine how Malick presents Jägerstätter as a man who had long walked the way of the cross, well before the action of the film begins. Jägerstätter was a man who cultivated his character through the spiritual disciplines of the Christian tradition, such as Scripture study, acts of service, contemplation, and prayer. These disciplines formed his character and enabled him to walk the way of the cross faithfully rather than turn, like so many others, to travel the Nazi path to destruction
Despair Against Boredom: Hyperstitional Narrativization in the International Relations of Populist States
Get PDFAcademic scholarship on populism in the digital age, thus far, has focused heavily on radicalization, social reorganization, and other ways the internet and social media facilitate the rise of populist movements, rather than the impacts of the internet on the actual desires of the citizenry. In this theoretical piece, I argue that modern populists engage in a contract with their supporters to create an “entertaining” political environment closely mimicking online dynamics. Next, I use the lens of hyperstition, a concept devised by the Cybernetic Culture Research Unit, to explain the means by which the patterns of human interaction found more frequently online enter “real life” politics to make themselves “real”. Finally, I propose that the global geopolitical climate is undergoing a sorting between populist and anti-populist states that will facilitate the realization of populist visions of international relations

Strategic Construction of Anomalies: A Quantum International Relations Framework for UAP
Get PDFUnidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP), commonly known as UFOs, are notoriously tricky to understand and analyze. The persistent ambiguity surrounding UAPs is not accidental but strategic; by keeping them in a liminal state of explanation, actors construct a geopolitical anomaly that blurs the boundaries between threat, curiosity, and control. Utilizing a Quantum International Relations (QIR) framework pioneered by Alexander Wendt, James Der Derian, and others enables new analytical tools to explain the creation and impact of these strategic anomalies. The social ontological status of UAP (extraterrestrial, fake, interdimensional, secret technology, natural phenomena, etc.) is determined by an entangled network of epistemological sources that cohere and diverge. What is relevant here is that, as opposed to a traditional scientific anomaly, which is data away from the curve that is either to be explained or discarded, UAP functions as a strategic anomaly. They are kept in a Suspended Epistemic Waveform and cannot collapse into a stable category
Rapid Review C: Knowledge Gaps and Future Vulnerabilities Arising from New and Emerging UAS Technology
Get PDFThe National Counterterrorism Innovation, Technology, and Education (NCITE) Center has been tasked by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to support evidenced, novel frameworks that accurately represent the current nature and future trajectory of the terrorist use of unmanned aerial system (UAS) threat. In support of a subject matter expert summit meeting to be hosted in early 2025, the project team has completed three rapid review reports which focus on key dimensions of the issue, which include emerging trends, the logic of terrorist UAS exploitation, and related risk factors
