The problems of shame in guilt in Sartre's The flies
No full textThe paper discusses the theme of shame in his play The Flies. The people of Argos allow themselves to be manipulated by religious and political forces, who play on the Argives' personal feelings of shame. Orestes, on the other hand, feels no shame, but also behaves rashly and alienates himself. Sartre's philosophical works and Erich Fromm's psychoanalytic theories are consulted as a means of discovering some balance between the two extremes.M.A.Includes bibiographical references (p. 28-30)
White-tailed deer hunting and habitat use in Robert Allerton Park
No full textUsing Robert Allerton Park (RAP) and the immediately surrounding properties in east-central Illinois as a study site, my objectives were to investigate changes in deer habitat use and spatial clustering following 10 years of deer removal in RAP. I evaluated changes in annual deer counts within RAP’s three main habitat types, dry mesic upland forest, wet mesic floodplain forest and developed land using a generalized linear mixed model. Annual counts were categorized into two periods: no deer removal (1988-2004) and deer removal (2005-2015). Second, I used Moran’s I spatial autocorrelation measures to evaluate annual changes in deer clustering. To evaluate changes in spatial clustering as a result of deer removal, I used Getis-Ord General Gi* hot spot analysis to compare spatial clustering between periods of no removal and removal. As expected, my results indicate that the number of deer removed annually decreased deer count in RAP. When analyzed by period, deer removal affected deer count, however, this impact varied between habitat types. Wet mesic floodplain forest and developed areas experienced insignificant reductions in deer count between periods whereas dry mesic upland forested habitats experienced significant reductions. Moreover, I detected an increasing trend in annual deer clustering across the study area prior to deer removal. Once the removal program was implemented, I observed a decrease in deer clustering across years. Changes were evident in both cluster location and size across the study site between periods. In conclusion, more deer were observed in wet mesic floodplain forest and developed land following removal which could be explained by the deer removal program, preferential habitat selection, temporal changes in understory quality or a combination of these factors.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'Closed Access', the embargo will last until 2019-05-01The student, Noelle Thompson, accepted the attached license on 2017-04-27 at 17:17.The student, Noelle Thompson, submitted this Thesis for approval on 2017-04-27 at 17:25.This Thesis was approved for publication on 2017-04-28 at 10:36.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #11127 on 2017-08-10 at 14:32:47Made available in DSpace on 2017-08-10T19:52:26Z (GMT).

Elevhälsovård i grundskolan – Elevhälsoteams perspektiv på effekterna av skolinsatser för eleven
No full textAuthor: Roxanne Noelle Nilsson Title: Student health in elementary school - Student health team perspectives on the impact of educational interventions for students [translated title] Supervisor: Lars B Ohlsson Assessor: Mats Hilte The aim of this study was to understand the Swedish student health team’s perspective on the effects of educational interventions and in that explore the student health teams’ definition of the students that are in need of help. The relationship between the right of support versus the right not to be defined and treated as deviant is a common denominator in this BA thesis. This study is based on three interviews in three different schools in Sweden, where seven professionals were participating. From the found data and theoretical tools around discrepancy, normalization, stigma, diagnosis, results showed that the definition of students in need of support is based heavily on diagnoses and the norms that govern the schools' culture. The effects of being categorized by schools through dedicated efforts perceived to be mainly positive from student health team. Keywords: student health, elementary school, student health team, educational interventions, stigmatization, deviant, normalization Nyckelord: elevhälsa, grundskola, elevhälsoteam, skolinsatser, stigma, avvikande,normaliserin
Generational Bridges: Supporting Literacy Development With Elder Storytelling and Video Performance
No full textThis paper describes our implementation of digital storytelling within a First Nations
community
elementary school in eastern Canada. Our aim with this project was to support community engagement
in the school, while promoting literacy development, by inviting Elders to share their stories, both
traditional and modern lived experiences, with
children in a grade 4/5 split class. Positioned as a
participatory action research project, anchored in Indigenous methodologies, the project was developed
through meetings with community members to build on the strengths of the community. Reflections fro
m
students illustrate that working with Elders gave deeper meaning to the stories they heard and performed
,
and fostered greater engagement in literacy development

Justified Violence: Modernizing Themes of Virtue from “The Friar’s Tale” and “Little Red Riding Hood”
No full textabstract: Although Charles Perrault’s “Little Red Riding Hood” was written three centuries after Geoffrey Chaucer’s “The Friar’s Tale,” the stories share both similar villains and explicit morals that condemn the tales’ victims rather than the antagonists. In an essay analyzing these works, I find that Chaucer and Perrault moralize their villains' predation as retribution for the protagonist’s supposed wrongdoings. In order to challenge and expand on these themes, I wrote a novella about Noelle Wei, a thirteen-year-old girl, who is attacked but left alive by a beast known for killing only dangerous criminals. After the beast promises to return, Noelle and her community must reckon with his unspoken accusation

Neuromuscular anatomy and evolution of the Cetacean forelimb
No full textThe forelimb of cetaceans (whales, dolphins, and porpoises) has been radically modified during the limb-to-flipper transition. Extant cetaceans have a soft tissue flipper encasing the manus and acting as a hydrofoil to generate lift. The neuromuscular anatomy that controls flipper movement, however, is poorly understood. This study documents flipper neuromuscular anatomy and tests the hypothesis that antebrachial muscle robustness is related to body size. Data were gathered during dissections of 22 flippers, representing 15 species (7 odontocetes, 15 mysticetes). Results were compared with published descriptions of both artiodactyls and secondarily aquatic vertebrates. Results indicate muscle robustness is best predicted by taxonomic distribution and is not a function of body size. All cetaceans have atrophied triceps muscles, an immobile cubital joint, and lack most connective tissue structures and manus muscles. Forelimbs retain only three muscle groups: triceps (only the scapular head is functional as the humeral heads are vestigal), and antebrachial extensors and flexors. Well-developed flexor and extensor muscles were found in mysticetes and basal odontocetes (i.e., physeterids, kogiids, and ziphiids), whereas later diverging odontocetes (i.e., monodontids, phocoenids, and delphinids) lack or reduce these muscles. Balaenopterid mysticetes (e.g., fin and minke whales) may actively change flipper curvature, while basal odontocetes (e.g., sperm and beaked whales) probably stiffen the flipper through isometric contraction. Later diverging odontocetes lack musculature supporting digital movements and are unable to manipulate flipper curvature. Cetacean forelimbs are unique in that they have lost agility and several soft tissue structures, but retain sensory innervations.
