- THE INFLUENCE OF THE SPACE SHUTTLE PROGRAM ON LAND USE/LANDCOVER AND POPULATION DYNAMICS IN BREVARD COUNTY.
- Creator
- Insalaco, Stephanie, Xie, Zhixiao, Florida Atlantic University, Department of Physics, Charles E. Schmidt College of Science
- Abstract/Description
-
The Space Shuttle Program at the John F. Kennedy Space Center (KSC) in Brevard County made a significant impact on the aerospace industry, but what is unknown is how it impacted the county surrounding it, specifically through land use/land cover (LU/LC) change and population dynamics. This research collected land cover and population data throughout the program to determine the impact, while also creating a record of the state of LU/LC and population in Brevard County in general during the...
Show moreThe Space Shuttle Program at the John F. Kennedy Space Center (KSC) in Brevard County made a significant impact on the aerospace industry, but what is unknown is how it impacted the county surrounding it, specifically through land use/land cover (LU/LC) change and population dynamics. This research collected land cover and population data throughout the program to determine the impact, while also creating a record of the state of LU/LC and population in Brevard County in general during the same period. Urbanization and tourism were also evaluated as possible catalysts for change when analyzing the LU/LC maps created in ArcMap and the population graphs from Microsoft Excel. Calculated area for different LU/LC classes were the main focus of this research, which led to the finding that urbanization has been a major factor of change in Brevard County through expanding residential areas rather than tourism and change from the Space Shuttle Program was centered in cities closest to the KSC.

- The influence of time-equated training programs on muscle hypertrophy, strength, and body composition.
- Creator
- Dolan, Chad, Zourdos, Michael C., Florida Atlantic University, College of Education, Department of Exercise Science and Health Promotion
- Abstract/Description
-
The purpose of this study was to determine if barbell circuit training (RTC) as a model for concurrent training is superior to high intensity interval (CTHI) or moderate intensity continuous (CTMI) cycling for changes in muscular strength, hypertrophy, and body composition. Eleven trained males were recruited and counterbalanced into three groups. Each program featured three alternating days of resistance training per week, with one of the above time-equated (30-minute) concurrent training...
Show moreThe purpose of this study was to determine if barbell circuit training (RTC) as a model for concurrent training is superior to high intensity interval (CTHI) or moderate intensity continuous (CTMI) cycling for changes in muscular strength, hypertrophy, and body composition. Eleven trained males were recruited and counterbalanced into three groups. Each program featured three alternating days of resistance training per week, with one of the above time-equated (30-minute) concurrent training modalities between sessions. All groups increased muscular strength (p<0.05, RTC=7.48%, CTHI=10.32%, CTMI=15.74%) with no group differences (p>0.05). Increases in upper body muscle hypertrophy were similar in RTC and CTMI (p<0.01, RTC=20.18%, CTMI=20.97%), increases in lower body muscle hypertrophy only occurred in CTMI (VM: p=0.01, 38.59%, VLP: p=0.07, 13.33%), while no hypertrophy changes were detected in CTHI (p>0.05), no group experienced changes in body composition (p>0.05). These findings suggest similar muscle performance benefits from barbell circuit or cycling concurrent training.

Show moreThe focus of this study was to determine if university student leaders’ cognitive and behavioral agility is related to organizational member commitment and if this relationship is moderated by alterable and non-alterable variables. The empirical results from this study are based on the responses of 37 student leaders who occupy leadership positions in organizations and clubs in their respective university. Cognitive agility was measured by the student leader’s use of systems thinking, reframing, and reflection. Student leader behavioral agility was assessed by a minimum of three organizational members rating the student leader’s use of leader influence actions (transforming, managing, bonding, bridging, and bartering) in carrying out their functions. Organizational member commitment was measured by organization member’s level of commitment with the goals and values of the organization using the Organizational Commitment Questionnaire (OCQ).

- THE INNER/OUTER SYSTEM OF DANTE ALIGHIERI’S DIVINE COMEDY.
- Creator
- Padilla-Rodriguez, Maximilian, Washington, Sondra, Harriet L. Wilkes Honors College, Florida Atlantic University
- Abstract/Description
-
Inferno, the first part of Dante Alighieri’s The Divine Comedy, notably divides its depiction of hell into nine “circles,” structuring them in a manner that forms a descending hierarchy of increasingly immoral sins. However, this study argues that Dante’s hierarchy doubles as an invisible scale, wherein I classify the sins of upper hell as “inner sins” (twisted values that incriminate their practitioner) and those of lower hell as “outer sins” (unethical acts conducted against individuals)....
Show moreInferno, the first part of Dante Alighieri’s The Divine Comedy, notably divides its depiction of hell into nine “circles,” structuring them in a manner that forms a descending hierarchy of increasingly immoral sins. However, this study argues that Dante’s hierarchy doubles as an invisible scale, wherein I classify the sins of upper hell as “inner sins” (twisted values that incriminate their practitioner) and those of lower hell as “outer sins” (unethical acts conducted against individuals). This fundamental aspect of The Divine Comedy transforms the epic poem into a unification of Christian theology and Aristotelian philosophy, as Dante integrates values and judgements from both schools of thought into his inner/outer conceptions of spiritual damnation and ascension. Understanding how the concepts of inner and outer sins serve as the basis of Dante’s moral beliefs ultimately unveils a complex ideology that structures the poet’s entire journey around the virtues of reason and faith.

In the 1954 Supreme Court Case Brown v. Board of Education, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a unanimous ruling declaring that separate schools for white and black students was inherently unequal. This thesis will evaluate the goals of desegregation based on the Court’s writings, and the opinion of academic scholars.

This thesis will evaluate the goals of desegregation based on the Court’s writings, and the opinion of academic scholars. It will then look at the history of desegregation in Gainesville Florida, and specifically, Eastside High School. With this history in mind, I will determine whether or not the goals of desegregation expressed by the court and these academic scholars have been met at Eastside. I will conclude that while the goal of desegregation (simply the removal codified segregation) has been met, the goal of integration (an active state intervention to remedy the effects of segregation) has not.

Prior studies examine either CEO, CFO, or audit committee member gender as a determinant of audit quality. In contrast, this study makes the unique contribution of examining the interactive effects between a gender diverse CEO-CFO dyad and a gender diverse audit committee on audit quality. Further, prior studies examine the attribute of gender as a determinant of audit quality in isolation.

Show morePrior studies examine either CEO, CFO, or audit committee member gender as a determinant of audit quality. In contrast, this study makes the unique contribution of examining the interactive effects between a gender diverse CEO-CFO dyad and a gender diverse audit committee on audit quality. Further, prior studies examine the attribute of gender as a determinant of audit quality in isolation. I examine the effect of gender on audit quality in tandem with the potentially moderating effect of managerial overconfidence. In doing so, this study makes the unique contribution of examining whether the socialized construct of gender, or the cognitive bias of overconfidence, will weigh more heavily on decisions that relate to audit quality. Results supplement social role and role congruity theories which suggest female leaders are socialized to adopt a management style resulting in more transparent financial reporting and higher audit quality. Specifically, I find incrementally higher audit quality associated with a gender diverse CEO-CFO dyad and audit committee. Further, I find firms with overconfident female CFOs are associated with higher audit quality than firms with overconfident male CFOs. This implies the pressure to maintain the socialized gender role appears to constrain the female manager’s overconfident tendencies. Finally, in a subsample of overconfident CFOs, I find gender diverse audit committees temper female more than male overconfidence for effects on audit quality.

- Abstract/Description

The current studies examined the interplay of dominance and power in their effects on various forms of prosociality, along with potential mechanisms that may account for their differential effects. Study 1 found that dominance and power had opposing effects on general prosocial tendencies, with dominance negatively relating to and power positively relating to general prosociality. Study 2 found the negative effects of dominance to be consistent both for general and relationship-specific...
Show moreThe current studies examined the interplay of dominance and power in their effects on various forms of prosociality, along with potential mechanisms that may account for their differential effects. Study 1 found that dominance and power had opposing effects on general prosocial tendencies, with dominance negatively relating to and power positively relating to general prosociality. Study 2 found the negative effects of dominance to be consistent both for general and relationship-specific prosociality. The effects of power were not replicated for the outcomes shared with Study 1, but other positive associations were found between power and prosocial propensities. Indirect effects in studies 1 and 2 supported the potential mediating role of other focus in explaining the differential effects of dominance and power. Study 3 utilized an experimental design to directly examine the potential mediating role of other-focus, by manipulating independent versus interdependent self-construals. Significant interactions between power and condition supported the notion that power positively affects prosociality by increasing other-focus. In the interdependent condition, power significantly predicted perspective-taking, whereas in the independent condition, the effect of power on perspective-taking was not significant. Study 4 involved collecting dyadic data from romantic partners, but did not find any significant partner effects. In line with the other studies, dominance was negatively associated with self-reported supportive tendencies as well as self-reported perceptions of a partner’s supportive behaviors.

Show moreThis phenomenological research study examined the perceived experiences of K-12 queer school leaders in school workplaces. This study discussed events, state laws, workplace polices, and related repeated studies that demonstrate that K-12 queer school leaders experience challenges in school spaces because of their sexual and/or gender identities. The sample population for this study consisted of 10 participants. The data collection consisted of a recruitment survey, individual interviews, and document review of state laws and policies. The analysis of data included survey data, transcribed interviews, and document reviews. The data were coded and triangulated for reliability and the analysis was guided by queer theory, script theory, and Foucault’s work on perspectives on power-knowledge. There were three key findings that emerged: queer school leaders’ suitability, queer negotiations in school spaces, and institutionalized homophobia and gender-based prejudices in the school spaces. The results contemporaneously indicate that policy, procedures, practices, and hegemonic power constitute the producers and pushers of an institutionalize cis/hetero-patriarchy narrative.

This thesis explores the application of those cinematic techniques used in horror cinema for well over a century into a virtual reality (VR) experience, The Invasion. Using a wide range of examples from classic horror films, The Invasion endeavors to show how the lessons learned from the study of horror cinema’s use of color theory, light, shadow, and sound design, when paired with the virtual reality medium, can provide a richer, more immersive horror vehicle and create new possibilities for fear-based content.
