An Analysis Of Urban Expnasion And Loss Of Vegetation Cover In Lokoja, Using Gis Techniques, Olarewaju Oluseyi Ifatimehin
Olarewaju Oluseyi Ifatimehin
Since Lokoja became an administrative headquarters of Kogi State in 1991, it has been experiencing rapid expansion, urbanization and significant changes in its physical landscape – land use and land cover changes. This study uses remote sensing and GIS techniques combined with field checks and survey to map land use and land cover changes and to measure the rate of urban expansion and loss of vegetation in Lokoja between 1987 and 2005. There was a considerable change in land use types over the said period of the study. The built-up area, vacant land, cultivated land and other land use type …

Task-Dependent Posterior Cingulate Activation In Mild Cognitive Impairment, Michele L. Ries, Taylor W. Schmitz, Tisha N. Kawahara, Britta M. Torgerson, Mehul A. Trivedi, Sterling C. Johnson
Brain and Mind Institute Researchers' Publications
Neuroimaging research has demonstrated that the posterior cingulate cortex (PCC) is functionally compromised in individuals diagnosed with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (MCI), a major risk factor for the development of Alzheimer's disease (AD). In functional MRI studies with healthy participants, this same region is active during self-appraisal (requiring retrieval of semantic knowledge about the self) as well as episodic recognition of previously learned information. Administering both types of tasks to people with MCI may reveal important information on the role of the PCC in recollection. This study investigated fMRI activation in the PCC in individuals with MCI and matched controls …

Brain and Mind Institute Researchers' Publications
Background: The presence of the apolipoprotein E (APOE) ε4 allele is a major risk factor for the development of Alzheimer's disease (AD), and has been associated with metabolic brain changes several years before the onset of typical AD symptoms. Functional MRI (fMRI) is a brain imaging technique that has been used to demonstrate hippocampal activation during measurement of episodic encoding, but the effect of the ε4 allelle on hippocampal activation has not been firmly established. Methods: The present study examined the effects of APOE genotype on brain activation patterns in the media[ temporal lobe (MTL) during an episodic encoding task …
A New Type Of Insurgency? A Case Study Of The Resistance In Iraq, Stephen D. Curtas
A New Type Of Insurgency? A Case Study Of The Resistance In Iraq, Stephen D. Curtas
USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Insurgency is considered to be the principal form of conflict in the world today. Since the end of WWII, large-scale conventional war between states has been minimal. In Iraq, a band of insurgents are attempting to defy the strongest power in the world. This insurgency in Iraq may be the beginning of a new phenomenon of insurgency conflict.
This thesis argues that the Iraqi insurgency has no center of gravity, with no clear apparent leader or leadership. As seen in other examples of insurgency throughout history, no leadership has emerged in response to any of the conditions present in Iraq. …

Alice Hamilton: The Making Of A Feminist-Pragmatist Rhetor, Vicki J. Mccoy
Alice Hamilton: The Making Of A Feminist-Pragmatist Rhetor, Vicki J. Mccoy
Communication Theses
ABSTRACT Dr. Alice Hamilton (1869-1970), the leading American figure in industrial medicine during the early to mid-1900s, left behind a body of rhetoric that is important in the history of American feminist discourse and American public address. Her discourse is the exemplary of feminist-pragmatist rhetoric, a genre of cross-gender communication developed by New Women associated with Hull House and the University of Chicago between 1892 and 1918. Hamilton’s rhetoric illuminates a key event in the history of the American rhetorical tradition—the emergence of the modern woman from her late-Victorian beginnings through her Progressive self-transformation. This study is approached as a …

Tabloidization In The Modern American Press: A Textual Analysis And Assessment Of Newspaper And Tabloid Coverage Of The “Runaway Bride” Case, Nichola Reneé Harris
Communication Theses
The media have extensive power in that they represent the primary, and often the only, source of information about many important events and topics. Media can define which events are important, as well as how media consumers should understand these events. The current trend towards tabloidization, or sensationalism, in today’s American media, has caused an uproar among media traditionalists, primarily in the fields of news and print media. This study seeks to examine the actual influence of tabloidization in newspaper media. My primary research question is as follows: Do tabloid newspapers in the United States set the agenda for more …

Freedom Of Speech And Press: A Casebook For Undergraduates, Frank Harrison
Freedom Of Speech And Press: A Casebook For Undergraduates, Frank Harrison
Political Science Faculty Research
This book is the product of two semesters of academic leave, in the Fall of 1998 and 2005, for which I am grateful to Trinity University. Substantively, it is in (almost) final form but even the most casual reader will notice that it needs extensive editing, mainly of formatting, consistency of style and, to some extent, spelling and grammar. A few cases also need a "headnote" and/or some "Comments and Queries." More importantly, the second half of the text might be reorganized to place greater emphasis on more current issues involving competition between constitutional rights. My syllabus for "Freedom II," …
The Television Portrayals Of African Americans And Racial Attitudes, Joni G V Dubriel
The Television Portrayals Of African Americans And Racial Attitudes, Joni G V Dubriel
Communication Theses
Television often portrays African Americans in unfavorable positions in comparison to Caucasians. Typically these unfavorable depictions reinforce negative stereotypes associated with African Americans. Research indicates that television portrayals can influence people’s attitudes toward one another. A question left unanswered by current research: are mass-mediated images as influential at reversing or counteracting stereotypes as they are at reinforcing them? An experiment with undergraduate students was conducted to investigate the relationship between the positive portrayal of African Americans and subsequent racial attitudes. Participants viewed a video clip with either an African American or Caucasian chairman for the Georgia Division of Public Health. …
Japanese Fathers In The United States: Negotiating Different Cultural Expectations, Yuka Abe
Japanese Fathers In The United States: Negotiating Different Cultural Expectations, Yuka Abe
Sociology Theses
Japanese fathers residing abroad have not been given much attention in Japanese scholarship. In this study, I examine how Japanese fathers in the United States negotiate between Japanese and American cultural expectations regarding fatherhood. Relying on a symbolic interactionist perspective, and through qualitative research involving in-depth interviews with 24 Japanese fathers who live in the United States for business, I focus on the men's culture, conduct, and self-identification. My interviews suggest that Japanese fathers who temporarily stay in the United States usually adhere to Japanese culture and, accordingly, live up to Japanese expectations of fatherhood. Thus, paternal modifications influenced by …
