Coastline In A Changing Maine: The Economics Of Coastal Preference, Walter Lange

Honors College

Coastal Maine is experiencing a time of pronounced stress and conflict from a multitude of factors, including COVID-19, cost of living surges, and climate change (Rector, 2021. Cotton et. al, 2023. Maine State Housing Authority, 2023). One important decision facing Maine is the use of Maine’s coastal areas across a wide variety of potential uses including recreation, housing, tourism, working waterfronts, aquaculture and conservation. This paper examines changes in coastal Mainer’s preferences for conserved coastal over time. Two related survey data sets, from 2019 and 2024, allow analysis of cross-time attitudes towards coastal land use. Through the creation of an …

The Experience Of Emptiness: A Creative Exploration Of Indeterminacy, Olivia Kjellander

Honors College

In an exploration of my own experience of being-in-the-world I produced five pieces of art which are meant to represent my relationships to my environment, with other beings, and the interplay between these interactions which constitute indeterminacy. Informed by readings of phenomenology, existentialism, and classic Chinese philosophy, specifically the Dao De Jing, I expressed my experience as a woman in the 21st century as I engaged in a constant reciprocity of viewing, watching, and self-surveilling. I expressed this experience through art because of art’s unique ability to parallel bodily experience in that it promotes the same exchange of power in …

Bringing Archaeology Into Religious And Moral Education: A Case Study From Scotland, Samantha Wilson, Philip Tonner, Kenneth Brophy

Journal of Archaeology and Education

Archaeology provides ‘material expression’ to the narratives and discourses which construct and bind historical identity. When brought into the classroom it can provide a powerful tool to help school pupils untangle complex structures and meanings, and to begin to develop their own interpretive and evaluative skills. This article explores the use of archaeology in implementing aspects of the Scottish Curriculum for Excellence. We focus on one subject in particular, Religious and Moral Education (RME), and we analyze one unit of study designed and taught to Secondary 1 and 2 pupils, with ages ranging from 11- 13. We draw upon a …

Medicaid Expansion In Maine Significantly Reduced Uncompensated Care Costs During The Covid-19 Pandemic, Jordan H. Rhodes

Maine Policy Review

This study examines the impact of Maine’s 2019 Medicaid expansion through the Affordable Care Act on hospitals’ uncompensated care costs. The author finds that this expansion reduced uncompensated care costs by an average of 26 percent per year, leading to a $126 million reduction in uncompensated care costs during the first two years of the COVID-19 pandemic. The most pronounced reduction in costs occurred across larger, general acute care hospitals. When comparing bad debt vs charity care, the reduction in uncompensated care costs is driven by a steep decline in reported charity care costs. This decline offsets increases in bad …

Towards A Pleasurable Food Experience: Influencing People's Liking, Taste Perceptions, And Mediated Emotions Using Augmented Flavor Experiences, Meetha Nesam James Ravindran Santhakumar

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The multisensory nature of food and beverage flavors plays an integral role in our everyday lives. While eating is primarily for survival, individuals seek pleasure in their eating experiences through diverse means. Prior research has acknowledged that the experience of flavor is inherently multisensory, engaging the five basic senses (taste, smell, sight, touch, and hearing) and integrating additional sensory inputs(temperature, humidity, spatial smell, lighting, and even the visual and tactile characteristics of cutlery). To enhance the pleasure of consuming food and beverages, individuals consider various perceptual and cognitive factors, including the pleasure derived from taste sensations, overall hedonic liking of …

The "Communal Gaze:" How The Collective Community Responds To The Narratives Of Sexual Violence Vocalized By Black Women, Brianna Christie

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This research theorizes, from within a Black Diasporic experience, the epistemic power communal gazes have on women who share, or consider sharing, their narratives of experiencing sexual violence. Black women’s experience with sexual violence in the African Diaspora is complicated by historical legacies and norms within their communities (Hartman, 1997; McDonald, 2019). The present study builds on and extends gaze theory, feminist standpoint(s), and aesthetic theory, particularly as related to the body as a rhetorical space. Informed by these theoretical perspectives and critically honoring Black women’s stories of (considering) sharing their experiences of sexual violence, this thesis addresses three research …

Rurality And Robustness: Rural Communities And Housing Insecurity Risk, Steve Garcia

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This thesis explores rural housing insecurity through Swope and Hernandez’s (2019) 4 C’s of housing insecurity in rural areas. Little attention has been paid to rural areas in the conversation on housing insecurity and houselessness (Gleason et al., 2021). To facilitate further discussion on this understudied issue, this exploratory study used unsupervised machine learning to group census tracts into risk levels across seven axes of data from the American Community Survey. The axes were based on housing insecurity factors found in the literature. K-medoids clustering is used to group census tracts into high, medium, and low risk of housing insecurity …
