Examining Variations in the Kremlin’s Repression of Non-Systemic Political Opposition Parties Under the Putin Regime
Full text linkWhat factors illustrate the differences in how the Kremlin under President Vladimir Putin responds to non-systemic political opposition groups in Russia? While existing literature on political opposition theory is expansive, more research specifically addressing contemporary Russian opposition forces is necessary. In particular, it is useful to zoom in on specific non-systemic opposition parties within Russia, as opposed to the customary method of using countries holistically as cases (Kubát 2010; Helms 2023; Eckstein 1967; Taylor 1988) . As such, my research seeks to demonstrate the value of appropriate theoretical frameworks to understand and measure individual non-systemic opposition parties’ actions and subsequent treatment by the Kremlin, rather than the trajectory of Russia’s opposition as a whole.
The content of my research is divided into two sections. First, there is no academic database or repository detailing what significant non-systemic opposition parties exist under the Putin regime in the first place, so one is created to better contextualize this research. Then, the focus shifts toward exploring the variations in the Kremlin’s repression of said parties.
Primary sources in Western media, Russian media, and opposition media are compiled for several non-systemic opposition parties in Russia as case studies. Through a qualitative examination of these cases, the realities of what factors play the largest role in the Kremlin’s reactions toward different non-systemic opposition parties will be observed.

Proposed Treatment and Intervention Considerations for School-Based Clinicians Working with LGBTQ+ Youth Aged 14-18
No full textLGBTQ+ youth experience disproportionately high rates of bullying, harassment, and social rejection, which can have profound negative impacts on their mental health, academic performance, and overall wellbeing. School-based mental health providers, such as school counselors and school psychologists, may be positioned to serve this population but often lack the necessary skills and knowledge. This paper aims to bridge that gap by highlighting important clinical considerations as well as various ways in which providers can support LGBTQ+ youth, including advocating for systemic change, fostering inclusive environments, implementing affirming and evidence-based treatment interventions, and even collaborating with family and community members. Through these approaches, school-based providers may be able to facilitate increased safety and support for LGBTQ+ students and thereby potentially improve mental health outcomes
A Spatial Analysis of Residential Photovoltaic Adoption in New Jersey: Focusing on 2020 with Trends Through 2025
No full textThis capstone project seeks to find the relationship between socioeconomic and demographic variables and their relationship to residential photovoltaic installations across New Jersey. The study consists of Geographic Weighted Regression Analyses to construct and socioeconomic index indicating the likelihood of photovoltaic adoption in New Jersey zip codes. Then using the index to predict future photovoltaic adoption across the state. The study found that socioeconomic and demographic variables can predict photovoltaic adoption within one year, but when placed in an index and used to predict future adoption trends, the model under predicts and extremely over predicts. While socioeconomic status is a contributing factor to photovoltaic adoption there is a more complex relationship between status and local adoption trends
Paid to Play - The Canadian Hockey League Players Class Action Litigation
No full textIn 2014, the National Labor Relations Board’s Regional Director ruled that scholarship football players at Northwestern University were “employees”. Subsequently, in 2015, the full board, and without deciding the players’ status, declined to assert jurisdiction effectively ending the dispute. There are parallels between this dispute and lawsuits currently before the Canadian courts involving the Canadian Hockey League (“CHL”). The CHL is nominally an “amateur” league and is the principal development league for players hoping to pursue a career as a professional hockey player. The players claim they are “employees” under provincial employment standards statutes. The CHL maintains that the players are “student athletes”, akin to NCAA Division I scholarship athletes. This article examines the similarities and distinctions between CHL players and NCAA Division I athletes, discusses the CHL litigation, the probable outcome, and the possible ramifications of this litigation for the CHL and its players.
Approaching Therapeutic Work with QTBIPOC Clients
No full textThe purpose of this doctoral paper/review is to conduct a thematic analysis exploring discussions surrounding available or proposed interventions aimed at enhancing mental health services for QTBIPOC (Queer, Trans, Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) populations towards overall positive identity development (Reclaiming All of Me). Through a comprehensive review and synthesis of existing literature, this review seeks to identify recurring themes, gaps, and recommendations within scholarly discourse, ultimately contributing to the advancement of culturally competent and inclusive mental health care practices for QTBIPOC communities
An Experiment in Electron Paramagnetic Resonance Spectroscopy for Undergraduate Labs in Physical Chemistry or Physical Biochemistry
No full textWe report a biochemically based EPR experiment for undergraduate laboratories that will serve as instruction for learning EPR sample preparation, spectral observation, and spectral analysis. There is a current lack of EPR instructional experiments that present complex spectra in which computational analysis may be required. The biochemical oxidation system of horse radish peroxidase (HRP) activated by H2O2 acts on 2,6-di-t-butyl-4-hydroxyanisole (DTBHA) to form phenoxyl radicals. This experiment produces moderately complex spectra of moderately long-lived radicals using relatively small amounts of readily available reactants. Spectrum analysis and simulation is accomplished using software freely available on-line. If desired, EPR studies may be extended to related systems such as the food additives butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) with shorter-lived radicals. If appropriate, molecular orbital calculations at various levels of sophistication may be employed to rationalize EPR results

Manjón, Llobet, and Barrios in Chile: Concerts and Reception in the Newspaper Record
No full textBased on an investigation of newspaper articles, this article presents a first look at the activities of Antonio Jiménez Manjón, Miguel Llobet, and Agustín Barrios in Chile between 1893 and 1918. Manjón’s concerts were well received, clashing with some of the discourse in the local media, which considered the guitar vulgar and expressionless. Llobet introduced the Tárrega school in Chile in 1912, which is in itself a milestone in the study of Tárrega’s pedagogical philosophy in that country. Furthermore, his technique was praised and, like Manjón’s, led to the challenging of prejudices against the guitar. The case of Agustín Barrios, however, is noteworthy, since he seemingly did not achieve the same recognition and success as his predecessors, even though he was an outstanding guitarist and composer.
A look at these artists’ activities shows that the guitar was surrounded by a plethora of narratives, which gave rise to a specific understanding of the development of the instrument in Chile
