The David O. McKay Academy: A Case Study On School Policy
No full textIn 2016, the David O. McKay Academy opened its doors to students. The school experienced multiple difficulties opening and operating. The researcher wondered whether these difficulties were a problem actualizing the goals and vision of the school into a workable and sustainable model. The purpose of the case study was to identify whether and how the David O. McKay Academy’s parents and teachers believed the policies, practices, and procedures contributed to the two-fold mission of rigorous academics and faith development. This purpose was supported by a primary research question: In what manner, if any, did the school’s policies, practices, and procedures contribute to, or impede the two-fold mission of rigorous academics and increasing children’s’ faith? The researcher implemented a single- case embedded research design to explore this unique problem, and conducted a study during the final month of the David O. McKay Academy’s inaugural year. The collected data were transcribed, and analyzed. From this data emerged several themes about religious observations, the environment within the school, the academic structure, and the administration of the school. The researcher utilized these themes to develop a solution to the school’s inability to actualize its mission goals. This proposed solution included early stakeholder engagement and strategic planning to fine tune every element of the school before students arrive, sequencing the programs to allow for growth, and more importantly encourage the school to start with a program that is manageable, and lastly, an elongated timeline allowing the school to develop and refine itself before the daily grind of students’ work impedes the process. This proposed solution will be most meaningful to future schools, and school leaders within the LDS community, as well as private schools in general. This dissertation in practice contributes to the previous scholarly work already done, and opens topics for further research. As a culmination to Creighton’s Ed.D. in Leadership, this dissertation also contributes to the growing knowledge about leadership in the real world, and the power that is possible when leaders involve their followers in the formation of their collective identity.ProQuest Traditional Publishing Optio
Come, Come Ye Saints: A Prelude to the Immigration Narrative of the Mormon Pioneers
No full textIntroduction
Every year, on July 23rd, the streets of Salt Lake City transform into an itinerant campsite. Thousands of people throw down coolers, tents, and grills. All of this looks very much like a tailgating party for a professional football team, but this is not for a team, or a sport of any kind. These are the lengths individuals go to in order to obtain prime viewing spots for "The Days of ’47 Parade". This annual parade commemorates the afternoon in July 1847 when the Mormon pioneers emerged from Emigration Canyon and announced that, “this is the place.”
There is something very impressive about these early pioneers. We look to them as heroes with a measure of awe and admiration. Sadly, these early groups are indicative of just that, the early pioneers. While theses groups are important there are others who also made the arduous trek through, what was then, uncivilized territory. William Ajax was one of them, and his journals provide a unique glimpse into the life of the Mormon pioneers. The story of the later pioneers differs from the others who made this same journey, because they occur so late in the migration narrative. It is true that they were able to incorporate several decades of pioneering knowledge, and perhaps because of this perceived advantage we do not hold them in the same regard as the early groups who first blazed the trails. Despite the wealth of knowledge, and the rapid developments that these later groups were privileged to utilize, there was still enough risk inherent in migration that it is important to understand why they in fact decided to make these treacherous journeys.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Simultaneous visibility representations of plane st-graphs using L-shapes
No full textLet 〈 G r , G b 〉 be a pair of plane st-graphs with the same vertex set V. A simultaneous visibility representation with L-shapes of 〈 G r , G b 〉 is a pair of bar visibility representations 〈 Γ r , Γ b 〉 such that, for every vertex v ∈ V , Γ r ( v ) and Γ b ( v ) are a horizontal and a vertical segment, respectively, which share an end-point. In other words, every vertex is drawn as an L-shape, every edge of G r is a vertical visibility segment, and every edge of G b is a horizontal visibility segment. Also, no two L-shapes intersect each other. An L-shape has four possible rotations, and we assume that each vertex is given a rotation for its L-shape as part of the input. Our main results are: (i) a characterization of those pairs of plane st-graphs admitting such a representation, (ii) a quadratic time algorithm to recognize them, and (iii) a linear time drawing algorithm if the test is positive. As an application, starting from a simultaneous visibility representation with L-shapes, we show how to compute a simultaneous embedding of the two graphs with at most two bends per edge and right-angle crossings
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
