Should All of the LMLK Jars Still be Dated to Hezekiah? Yes!; Andrew G. Vaughn. PhD; February 9, 2015
No full textChronology of the ancient Near East is a constantly recurring problem scholars have been successfully able to resolve concerning various historical periods. The period of the Divided Monarchy, specifically as it relates to the reign of King Hezekiah, has traditionally been attributed with the inception and exclusive-use of lmlk jar handles. The term lmlk, as translated from ancient Hebrew, means to the king, for the king, or belonging to the king. In his lecture, Vaughn presents the arguments against attribution of lmlk storage jars to the period of King Hezekiah\u27s reign, and explores the implications, assumptions, and evidences for claims contrary to this chronological placement.

Viability of a career in the interpretation and translation industry with the advancements of artificial intelligence
No full textArtificial Intelligence has penetrated various market barriers with its efficiency and ability. One such industry significantly affected by this is the interpretation and translation industry. Furthermore, much of human work is being substituted by artificial intelligence machine translation. The objective of this paper was to determine the viability of a career for both current and prospective interpreters and translators.
By means of a secondary research literature review, a cross analysis was conducted to determine how the market is currently affected, as well as the forecasted changes to come. Whether human interpreters and translators can maintain a competitive edge in this new environment and how that can be accomplished are both more deeply explored.
From these results, the author distilled implications as to the degree of viability and some of the means. Further research is required specifically in regards to interpretation, as data and literature on the subject was limited

The Anti-Masonic Party in the United States: 1826-1843
No full textHere, for the first time in more than eighty years, is a detailed study of political Antimasonry on the national, state, and local levels, based on a survey of existing sources. The Antimasonic party, whose avowed goal was the destruction of the Masonic Lodge and other secret societies, was the first influential third party in the United States and introduced the device of the national presidential nominating convention in 1831.
Vaughn focuses on the celebrated Morgan Affair” of 1826, the alleged murder of a former Mason who exposed the fraternity\u27s secrets. Thurlow Weed quickly transformed the crusading spirit aroused by this incident into an anti-Jackson party in New York. From New York, the party soon spread through the Northeast. To achieve success, the Antimasons in most states had to form alliances with the major parties, thus becoming the flexible minority.
After William Wirt\u27s defeat by Andrew Jackson in the election of 1832, the party waned. Where it had been strong, Antimasonry became a reform-minded, anti-Clay faction of the new Whig party and helped to secure the presidential nominations of William Henry Harrison in 1836 and 1840. Vaughn concludes that although in many ways the Antimasonic Crusade was finally beneficial to the Masons, it was not until the 1850s that the fraternity regained its strength and influence.

Navigating the methodology of an interdisciplinary art and design practice with conscious bridging
No full textThe growing emergent field of Interdisciplinary research, is providing opportunity for discussion and considerations to understand interdisciplinarity at a deeper pedagogical level. The author, having completed their PhD in the field of an interdisciplinary art and design practice, will discuss in reflection an analysis of their methodology to contribute to the discussion. Through incidentally applying the method of Bourdieu’s notion of reflexivity onto the practice, a clearer understanding of the approaches undertaken in the practice were experienced. This supported navigating between spectrums of approaches and identifying dichotomic knowledges applied in the practice, which the author terms conscious bridging. In support of the proposed notion of conscious bridging, the author will add further evidential observations of teams participating in interdisciplinary projects and taking into analysis the processes of varied approaches specific to their discipline. This article presents strategies to consider, adopt and apply in an interdisciplinary art and design practice to assist a quality and efficiency of research outcomes

Abstract
Depression is a common condition diagnosed and managed in primary care.
Follow-up is inconsistent and low in these settings, creating a gap in care that
impacts management, adherence to treatment, and patient outcomes. The purpose
of this quality improvement project was to implement in-room scheduling of follow--
up appointments by providers of newly diagnosed depression patients. The project
aimed to improve follow-up of newly diagnosed depression patients and adherence
to treatment in primary care. The setting of the project was a primary care clinic
care located in North-East Tennessee. The IRB determined that no approval was
needed. A 12-week retrospective chart review was conducted to determine
baseline rates and demographics for the project. During the six-week project
, providers scheduled follow-up appointments and documented them on the data
collection form. Providers were given a pre/post-test before and after
implementation to measure providers confidence levels. While the study is ongoing
, and results are pending, the expected outcomes include improved follow-up rates
and improved adherence to treatment which will lead to improved outcomes in
depression.

No full textTo address the sub-theme of the journal: Artistic Practices in a Time of Crisis, the author discusses the context of economic cuts and recent international crises on his PhD interactive and visual design research project undertaken in Australia. Identifying an apparent root-cause of current global crises, the author in reply, has structured a research plan and created a suite of new media, interactive, technology artworks, and installation art. Notions of Zen Buddhism, and stillness through meditation, are applied in the research and context of the artworks to support awareness of wellbeing, in response to the root-cause condition. The discussion will focus on the overarching question: how can one obtain value through the arts during current times of economic reduction conditioning

Observing reading instruction provided to elementary students in resource rooms
No full texttextA series of syntheses and consensus reports provides converging evidence regarding effective reading instruction (e.g. NICHD, 2000; Snow, Burnes & Griffin, 1998; Swanson & Hoskyn, 1998). However, findings from recent observation studies of reading instruction provided to students with learning disabilities (LD) are disappointing, with few scientifically based reading instructional components observed (e.g. Vaughn, Moody & Schumm, 1998; Moody, Vaughn, Hughes & Fischer, 2000). In addition, since 2001, only one observation study of reading instruction for students with LD has been published (Rieth, Bryant, Kinzer, Colburn, Hur, et al., 2003), and only two such dissertations (Brasnahan, 2001; Kethley, 2005) have been completed, all three of which were conducted in classrooms for students in middle or high school. Thus, no observation study of reading instruction for elementary students with LD has been published in the past seven years. Within this timeframe, however, systematic and wide-spread efforts have been made to bridge the gap between research and practice in the area of reading instruction (see Reading First Teacher Education Network at www.rften.org). The purpose of this study was to document the extent to which effective reading instruction was provided to students with LD served in the resource room setting. The amount of student and teacher text reading, grouping strategies used, and student achievement over the course of one semester was examined as well. Ten special education resource room teachers were observed during the spring academic semester. Information was gathered through direct observation and standardized measurement of student academic outcomes. All observations were conducted during reading instructional time. Results indicated a range of scientifically based reading instruction of average to high average quality. Students made no stastically significant growth on more distal measures of reading achievement. However, statistically significant growth was detected in oral reading fluency using passages one grade level below student assignment.Special Educatio
