    Who Owns Their Dead: Unequal Access to Reptriation in the United States

    Get PDF
    Museums and scientific institutions in the United States house human remains and important cultural objects in their collections; materials obtained in various manners over the past few centuries. In 1990, Congress passed the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act, which mandated that federally funded institutions return Native remains and cultural objects to the affiliated tribe. Over the last three decades the rules have been modified a couple of times with the input of tribes and institutions. This has become an ongoing negotiation process as both public and professional conversations change. In recent conversations of repatriation, the topic has even expanded outside of Native claims and into African American claims. Understanding these conversations is critical to understanding the evolving process of repatriation. This paper\u27s purpose is to analyze the conversations from the past and today concerning federally unrecognized tribes\u27 access to repatriation and the emerging discussion surrounding African American access to repatriation

    No full text
    This bronze equestrian statue of King Richard I of England, also known as Richard the Lionheart, is located in the Old Palace Yard outside the Houses of Parliament in London. The statue was created by Baron Carlo Marochetti and first exhibited at the Great Exhibition in 1851. It was permanently installed at the Palace of Westminster in 1860. It depicts King Richard I in medieval armor atop a powerful warhorse, with his sword raised high in a gesture of defiance and leadership. In 1867 bronze reliefs were added to the sides.https://scholarworks.uni.edu/his_monuments_sp2022/1060/thumbnail.jp

    [33a] Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel #2, Paris, France [front]

    No full text
    The Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel was commissioned by Napoleon I to celebrate his victories. Its construction was directed by the architects Fontaine and Percier and completed in 1808. The quadriga, a chariot pulled by four horses, sits on the top of this monument and symbolizes the triumph of Napoleon\u27s armies. Originally built for the entrance to the since destroyed Tuileries Palace, this neoclassical arch now remains in front of the Louvre.https://scholarworks.uni.edu/his_monuments_sp2022/1064/thumbnail.jp

    Quantifying the Relative Importance of Survival Threats to a Long-lived Reptile using Expert Elicitation

    No full text
    Long-term survival of a conservation-reliant species requires understanding the impact of threats on population growth rate and the management actions that can help mitigate these threats. We used a threat assessment with expert-elicited estimates to determine the relative effect of each stage-specific threat on the population growth rate of the wood turtle Glyptemys insculpta. In addition, we offered potential management actions that could mitigate these threats and examined the relative cost and benefit of each. The experts responded that predators had the largest effect on hatchling and juvenile survival and that road mortality had the largest effect on adult survival. The population growth rate of the simulated turtle population increased the most when predators were removed from the system, though the population trajectory remained negative. Finally, we found that predator control had the lowest cost:benefit ratio of the proposed management actions. The process used in this analysis of expert elicitation combined with modeling that accounts for uncertainty proved to be a useful technique that is less expensive and labor intensive than empirical studies and quicker to implement, although it relies on sufficient empirical studies to inform expert responses. This process could be replicated for other species to inform species status assessments

    Owning Workplace Safety: Investigating Safety Locus of Control Among Nurses

    No full text
    Workplace accidents and injuries continue to be a challenge in high-risk industries such as healthcare, where safety is a daily critical concern. Although organizational factors such as safety climate have been well-established as predictors of safety-related outcomes, less is known about the role of individual differences in workplace safety. This research investigates safety locus of control, which captures an employee’s tendency to believe that their safety-oriented behaviors actually play a role in preventing safety incidents. Individuals with a highly internal safety locus of control tend to recognize the importance of their own and others’ safety actions for promoting workplace safety and preventing safety-related incidents from occurring in their workplace, whereas employees with low internal safety locus of control tend to believe that adverse safety outcomes have less to do with employee behavior and are more the result of luck or chance (i.e., have a more external orientation). Across three studies (with a total of 792 participants), we developed a measure for assessing safety locus of control (Study 1), evaluated its construct validity (Study 2), and measured its incremental validity on workplace safety beyond other important constructs like safety climate (Study 3). Results suggest that safety locus of control helps to explain critical workplace safety outcomes (such as safety performance) beyond environmental factors such as safety climate alone and plays an influential role on well-established safety processes within the workplace. This research highlights the importance of considering individual differences alongside environmental factors in workplace safety models
