A Qualitative Analysis Of The Non-Lds Experience In Utah, Jesse Smith Bushman
A Qualitative Analysis Of The Non-Lds Experience In Utah, Jesse Smith Bushman
Theses and Dissertations
Utah's foundation under the influence of the LDS church, and the continued influence of the majority LDS population in the state make this area unique in the United States. This situation makes life for the non-LDS in Utah somewhat different than in other areas. Through a series of interviews with members of the Roman Catholic, Presbyterian, Baptist (National Baptist Convention), Buddhist, and Jewish faiths, this thesis produced a large body of qualitative data concerning the non-LDS experience in Utah.
The experience of non-LDS people in Utah can by typified, with a few exceptions, as a traditional majority/minority interaction. Elements of …
Study Of The Time Efficiency And Volume Of Wood Used For Three Types Of Stove In The Salitrón Community Of San Juan Ermita, Department Of Chiquimula, Fredy Samuel Coronado López
Study Of The Time Efficiency And Volume Of Wood Used For Three Types Of Stove In The Salitrón Community Of San Juan Ermita, Department Of Chiquimula, Fredy Samuel Coronado López
Theses and Dissertations
In developing countries such as Guatemala, firewood is increasingly being used for cooking in most rural areas. Consequently, there is a shortage of firewood in these areas beca use trees do not grow at the same rate as they are consumed. Some authors report that 90% of the heat from firewood is lost during combustion. Several alternatives to open pit fires exist to reduce the amount of firewood used. However, these alternatives need to be evaluated to determine their efficiency. This project compared the time efficiency and volume of firewood used in the Finlandia style improved stoves, Josefina stoves, and …
The Effects Of Gender On Career Decision Problems In Young Adults, Jeffry H. Larson, Mark Butler, Stephan Wilson, Nilufer Medora, Scot Allgood
The Effects Of Gender On Career Decision Problems In Young Adults, Jeffry H. Larson, Mark Butler, Stephan Wilson, Nilufer Medora, Scot Allgood
Faculty Publications
The authors investigated gender differences in psychological problems in the career decision-making (CDM) process of young adults. Specifically, problems with decision anxiety, life-goal awareness, luck-fate orientation, authority orientation, and secondary gain motivation were investigated. Methodology involved administering the Career Decision Diagnostics Assessment (CDDA) instrument to 1,006 college students from four universities. Results indicated no gender differences in global levels of problems in CDM. Women reported more problems with life-goal awareness and authority orientation than did men. Men reported more problems with secondary gain motivations than did women. The results are discussed in terms of implications for gender-differentiated career counseling.
Thomas Hobbes's "A Discourse Of Laws", Noel B. Reynolds
Thomas Hobbes's "A Discourse Of Laws", Noel B. Reynolds
Faculty Publications
The recent discovery that an anonymously published 1620 essay was an early writing of Thomas Hobbes invites investigation of his early thinking. Hobbes relied on mostly classical sources to advance a basically conventionalist theory of law and to anticipate twentieth century analyses of the principles of rule of law such as that made famous by F. A. Hayek.
Investigating The Age Effects Of Family Structure On Adolescent Marijuana Use, John P. Hoffmann
Investigating The Age Effects Of Family Structure On Adolescent Marijuana Use, John P. Hoffmann
Faculty Publications
This study examines differences among older and younger adolescents in the influence of family structure, family relations, and peer relations on marijuana use. Data from a longitudinal sample of adolescents from the United States were stratified by age and used to assess these potential differences. Precise measures of family structure were constructed to account for the various manifestations of family forms. Multivariate analyses indicate that a recent divorce attenuates attachment among younger adolescents and leads to less family involvement among older adolescents. Moreover, older adolescents from stepparent families are less attached to their families. Changes in these family relationship variables …
Tacit Cooperation Between Enemies: Two Case Studies, Kristina Handy
Tacit Cooperation Between Enemies: Two Case Studies, Kristina Handy
Theses and Dissertations
This research details a point of reference to understand two case studies of cooperation that developed among lower-level, or non policy-making bureaucrats during times of conflict or war. Using components of game theory, I propose that when an international conflictual relationship occurs that resembles an iterated Prisoners' Dilemma, and that meets certain conditions, tacit cooperation can emerge. Tacit cooperation consists of illicit or implied cooperation that is not sanctioned at the national policy level.
In this research I develop a framework of tacit cooperation, relying heavily upon Robert Axelrod's theory of evolutionary cooperation. With the framework in place, I then …
An Immigrant Story Of Peter Petersen Thisted: Itinerant, Maverik Danish Lutheran Pastor, 1859-1915, Paul A. Thisted
An Immigrant Story Of Peter Petersen Thisted: Itinerant, Maverik Danish Lutheran Pastor, 1859-1915, Paul A. Thisted
The Bridge
This is the story of my Danish grandfather whom I never
knew except through infrequent stories from my father. I
asked my father Aaron to write a family history about his
dad, but he never did. I never found out why he wouldn't. I
wondered about my Thisted grandparents before and after
both my parents died, so I decided to piece the puzzle
together as best I could, while several uncles and aunts were
still alive.
Recollections From Our Voyage To America, Soren Pedersen
Recollections From Our Voyage To America, Soren Pedersen
The Bridge
We departed from Limskov in Norup Sogn May 6, 1862,
to visit my sister, my brother-in-law, and my mother on my
home farm, and were there a couple of days before we took
leave of the whole family never to see them again in this life.
It was both a serious and a sad time.
Carl Hansen's Concept Of Christmas, David Iversen
Carl Hansen's Concept Of Christmas, David Iversen
The Bridge
As one of the major Danish-American immigrant writers
of the early 20th century, Carl Hansen wrote short stories,
sketches, and one novel, co-founded (with Oscar W. Lund)
The Christmas journal Julegranen, and published Dansk Jul i
Amerika in 1909. This paper will focus on three stories,
published in Landmrend: Fortrellinger by Dansk Boghandel
in Cedar Falls, Iowa in 1908, which have Christmas as a
theme. The three stories are: For 30 aar siden (30 Years
Ago"), Bowlegged Joe ("Bowlegged Joe"), and Gamle Hans
Nielsen's sidste Jul ("Old Hans Nielsen's Last Christmas").
What follows is a brief look at "Carl Hansen's …
To Have Revenge On The Self-Righteous University: Pietism And Religious Doubt In Sophus Keith Winther's Beyond The Garden State, John M. Nielsen
To Have Revenge On The Self-Righteous University: Pietism And Religious Doubt In Sophus Keith Winther's Beyond The Garden State, John M. Nielsen
The Bridge
In the spring of 1978, Arizona Quarterly published what
was to be the last of Sophus Keith Winther's scholarly
articles. Entitled, "The Emigrant Theme," this essay in many
ways was a summation of Winther's thoughts, not only regarding
the experience of Scandinavian-Americans as told in
literature, but more importantly of his reflections regarding
the whole of human experience. For him, emigration was the
great human story, stretching from the dawn of humankind
in the Olduvai Gorge to a foreboding present. It was the
story of the Israelites wandering in the wilderness; it was the
myth of the American westward movement. …
Other-Centeredness And Depression In A Sample Of Mormon Women, Janice G. Nielson
Other-Centeredness And Depression In A Sample Of Mormon Women, Janice G. Nielson
Theses and Dissertations
Other-centeredness and depression were examined to see if a relationship existed between the two. One scale measuring other-centeredness and another measuring depression were given to a sample of married Mormon women who did not work outside the home. Other-centeredness and depression were significantly negatively correlated. The women scoring in the top one-third of the range of other-centeredness scores suffered no depression on the depression scale. The factor most predictive for depression was the relationship the women had with her husband, and other-centeredness was found to overlap with this variable to some extent. The factors of health, income, and education were …
Sentenced To Be Hanged: The Tragic Story Of A Danish Immigrant, Peter D. Thomsen
Sentenced To Be Hanged: The Tragic Story Of A Danish Immigrant, Peter D. Thomsen
The Bridge
Several years ago, Thorvald Hansen who was then in
charge of the Danish Immigrant Archives at Grand View
College, Des Moines, Iowa, asked if I would be interested in
writing the Peter Mathiasen story. I had previously told him
that in my childhood home I had heard bits and pieces of this
tale and that what I remembered most was how intensely it
was discussed by some of the immigrant people with whom
my parents associated. Little did I realize they were talking
about something that happened fifteen years before my
birth.
Mary Dilberg's Memories, Charles Berg, Edel Berg
Mary Dilberg's Memories, Charles Berg, Edel Berg
The Bridge
Mary Jensen Dilberg wrote the following account, in
English, in 1972. She was born in Aarhus, Denmark, on
November 4, 1891, sent out to earn her own living at age 12
and journeyed to America by herself in 1911 where she
spent time in Red Lodge, Montana, Ord, Nebraska, and
finally settled in Bothell, Washington, near Seattle, where
she spent most of her adult life except for a four year return
to Nebraska from 1919 to 1923.
My Parents' Lives, Hazel R. Morse
My Parents' Lives, Hazel R. Morse
The Bridge
Scandinavians settled with those of their own kind and
language, being drawn by relatives and friends who had
gone before them, but also through newspapers circulated
among them. Den Danske Pioneer was widely read among
Danes and may well have been the source of information
about the settling of northeastern Montana. Mr. E. F.
Madsen, an immigrant and intellectual who had made a
scouting trip to that area about 1905 urged other Danes to
settle together and establish a Danish colony.
