The Treatment of “Lunacy” at Central State Hospital: The Long Shadow of “Moral Therapy: and Eugenics on Public Perception of Mental Health Facilities
No full textMilledgeville, Georgia is infamous for what is now known as Central State Hospital (CSH). Originally founded as the Georgia State Lunatic, Idiot, and Epileptic Asylum in 1842, it quickly became the largest in-patient mental health facility in the Southeast. In its time, CSH was considered innovative in its approach to mental health treatment and its treatment of their patients. However, many of those treatments utilized methods that would be considered at best questionable and at worst barbaric through a modern lens. The shadow cast from the history of mental facilities contributed to the stigma for seeking mental health care today. I analyze the use of moral therapy and eugenics in CHS’s past and how they impact the public perception of mental health facilities today
Information Literacy in Learning Landscapes: Flexible, Adaptable, Low-cost Solutions
No full textabstract: Preprint.
Today‟s college and university learning landscapes are dynamic and
characterized by increased student demand for highly flexible and self-paced online learning opportunities. Recent fiscal conditions in higher education make learning landscape development more challenging due to finite resources and competing priorities. Similarly, academic libraries are experiencing substantial budget and staff reductions. Despite these trends, academic libraries are in a strong position to contribute to surrounding learning landscapes by expanding student online learning opportunities and promoting the critical use of information. Evolving learning technologies available for free or at low cost provide higher education and libraries with the tools to respond to this fluid environment.Preprin
Ogranizational communication consulting: A communiciation of a small West Texas bank
No full textThis project was designed to obtain valuable experience and knowledge in understanding communication consulting. To obtain this goal, a small bank in West Texas offered the opportunity to conduct a three-step program. The process included an initial communication needs assessment, program development and implementation, and an evaluation of the overall program. The communication audit revealed that a basic understanding of organizational communication would benefit this organization. Though attendance was considerably lacking, those that did attend the program indicated perceived relevance of the information to their jobs and competent usage of the knowledge obtained. A few conflicts did arise, but in the end, this project provided valuable consulting experience and understanding.Embargo status: Restricted to TTU community only.

Multimodal spatial profiling of colorectal cancer using Orion
No full textThe collection comprises preservation-quality files of Minerva output files without needing download terabyte scale images. To view data in a browser follow this link: https://tissue-atlas.org/orion-crc-1
This dataset uses the Minerva Suite, a series of software tools developed by the Laboratory of Systems Pharmacology to visualize multiplexed tissue image data in a web browser. Researchers or pathologists can annotate and describe images for users and users can use zooming and panning features to explore the full resolution images without needing to download multi-GB/TB image files. These annotated and unannotated images are created by uploading quality controlled ome.tiffs and segmentation masks, along with channel metadata and text descriptions, into the Minerva Author tool. These input files produce .json files, an .html file, and hundreds of .jpg pyramid files that make the images browsable online
The Art of Inventing Matilda of Canossa
No full textabstract: Matilda of Canossa (1046 to 1115), the Great Countess of Tuscany, was a noblewoman, a warrior, and a papal supporter who later generations adapted to satisfy a variety of cultural and ideological interests. Matilda's life as a ruler was amplified over the following five hundred years in an avalanche of words and images that served many purposes. This thesis considers the art produced during her lifetime in the context of disputes over papal authority, as well as art produced about Matilda subsequently. The study includes a discussion of her appearance in Dante's Comedy; her importance to Florentine artists such as Sandro Botticelli, Leonardo da Vinci, and Michelangelo Buonarroti in the 16th century; and concludes with the significance of the elaborate tomb sculpted for her reburial by Gian Lorenzo Bernini in St. Peter's Cathedral. An examination of Matilda through these shifting representations from the 12th to the 17th century enables an understanding of how and why she became an impressive symbol in the visual arts. Finally, the study examines the process through which a strong, powerful woman was transformed from an historical person to a legend. Matilda's remarkable life and myth is still relevant to art historical, religious and cultural studies because of the pervasiveness of her influence a millennium after her death.Dissertation/ThesisM.A. Art History 201
Il Libro dei Miracoli: Intersections of Gender, Class and Portraiture in Italian Multimedia Votive Sculpture, 1450-1630
No full textabstract: Multi-media votive sculpture, made from wax, papier-mâché, wood, terra cotta and textiles, is a long-neglected subject of study in early modern Italian art history. This dissertation focuses on an unparalleled seventeenth-century manuscript, the Libro dei miracoli, which reproduces in watercolor a number of the lost multi-media votive statues that once populated the church of S. Maria della Quercia in Viterbo. The names of votaries, along with a description of their miracles, accompany the watercolors and present an invaluable source of information that allows for this first comprehensive study of votary identity. Abundant archival material maintained by S. Maria della Quercia, situated within larger historical events and cultural trends, informs this dissertation which explores the democratic nature behind votive statuary effigies. The offerings granted male and female members of most socio-economic classes in early modern Italy the extraordinary opportunity to act as patrons of art. Moreover, the sculptures, and watercolors after them, were individualized representations of votaries that can be considered a form of portraiture available to rich and poor alike.Dissertation/ThesisPh.D. Art History 201
