Title: Technologies of language and money: A study of stock manipulation and Internet communication.
Creator: Beresford, Annette D., Florida Atlantic University, Miller, Hugh T., College for Design and Social Inquiry, School of Public Administration
Abstract/Description: Internet technologies provide a criminal opportunity for stock manipulation and fraud that costs investors millions of dollars every day. In order to reduce this loss and craft policies and procedures to deter future losses, securities regulators have been seeking to understand the process of Internet securities fraud, including the actions of investors and fraudsters that contribute to that process.

Show moreInternet technologies provide a criminal opportunity for stock manipulation and fraud that costs investors millions of dollars every day. In order to reduce this loss and craft policies and procedures to deter future losses, securities regulators have been seeking to understand the process of Internet securities fraud, including the actions of investors and fraudsters that contribute to that process. The purpose of this study is to determine the properties of the Internet communication environment associated with fraudulent stock schemes in order to contribute to these efforts of securities regulators. In addition, an aim of this study is to introduce Foucault's concept of power/knowledge as a means for theory development in the fields of finance, criminology and public administration that specifically addresses manipulation and fraud in the stock market.

Show moreThis mixed methods study investigated 5th-grade teachers' reported use of computer technology and variables that have been identified by researchers as affecting teachers' use of technology, including professional development activities, physical access to computer technology, and technical and instructional support provided for teachers. Quantitative data were collected from 80 5th-grade teachers from a Florida public school district through an online survey in which teachers reported how frequently they used and had their students use computer technology for 27 different purposes. The teachers also reported the amount of emphasis those 27 different topics received during their technology-related professional development experiences, the number of hours they participated in technology-related professional development, the number of months they participating in a technology coaching/mentoring program, the access their students had to computers in the classroom and in a one-to-one co mputing environment, and the frequency that they received technical and instructional support. Information from the school district's technology plan provided a context for the study. Qualitative data were collected through interviews with seven of the survey participants. The findings indicated that for 18 different purposes of technology, there was a significant correlation between how frequently teachers used and had their students use technology and the teacher-reported emphasis those topics received during technology related professional development. Self-reported frequency of support, student-to-computer ratio in the classroom, hours of professional development, and months of mentoring did not moderate the relationship between frequency of technology use and the content of professional development., The relationship between having students use technology to work cooperatively or collaboratively and the reported emphasis that topic received in professional development strengthened if teachers reported that their students had access to a one-to-one computing environment. An additional finding was that the teachers' reported frequency of use of technology and reported emphasis of content of technology-related professional development leaned toward direct instruction and test preparation and leaned less toward innovative uses of technology. Implications and suggestions for future research are offered for technology integration and professional development for teachers at the elementary school level.

The analysis centers upon operas produced during these centuries beginning with the first opera of Claudio Monteverdi in 1607 and closing with the final opera of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in 1791. The historical foundation of music, technology and social change at the beginning of the Seventeenth Century will first be established. Events that directly influence this relationship will then be examined regarding their influence upon opera development. An explanation ofthe subjects of music, technology, and social change and a discussion of the interrelationships between these three topics precedes this historical analysis.

Show moreThis research study employed both quantitative and qualitative methodology to explore high school students’ perceptions about online math homework and paper math homework. The purpose of this study was threefold: to understand how high school students perceive online math homework, to determine what aspects of online math homework aid and/or hinder student learning, and to improve the student learning experience with online math homework. Through quantitative analysis, the researcher noted that although not all students learned best with online math homework, nearly every student used the online tools provided when assigned online math homework. Through qualitative analysis, the researcher noted that the most commonly mentioned aid for both online math homework and paper math homework was showing your work. The two most commonly mentioned hindrances to learning were guessing or cheating with online math homework and losing your homework with paper math homework. Participants stated that they actually have more opportunities to cheat with online math homework than with paper math homework; these results diverge from the literature, which states that online math homework helps to eliminate cheating. The data suggests that while online resources, such as examples, were a commonly mentioned aid to online math homework, many students indicated that the online resources also prevented them from truly having to think, as they could just follow the online examples step by step. This research study determined that the majority of students did not have a strong inherent like or dislike toward either online or paper math homework. Instead, students often stated that they preferred whichever medium allowed them to earn higher grades or receive more support. Therefore, if students continue to receive the necessary support, they can continue to learn mathematical concepts through the use of both online and paper math homework.

Show moreTeckno (or Rave) as a musical movement has rapidly spread across the globe. The youth culture that has developed has been sorely misunderstood by academia and media, often labeled as narcissistic, hedonistic, and lacking meaning. Contrary to these perceptions, Teckno culture is a collage of meanings. Long-term participation in Teckno culture has resulted in the development of new hybridized belief systems for many of the participants. Hybridization occurs as a result of exposure to multiple religious and mystic beliefs while in altered states of consciousness. This thesis explores the characteristics of these hybrids and identifies the seven elements that create and maintain the unique rave atmosphere in which this process is occurring. Further, the social impact of this culture is explored. In particular, the widespread unity in acceptante of diversity (UAD) arts to break down prejudice and is sustained outside Teckno culture as a lasting change in attitude and worldview.

Show moreThe problem of the study was to understand the experience of being cared for by a nurse during labor and delivery. The review of literature for the study examined research focusing on adolescents in labor and delivery, caring and adolescent pregnancy and caring from current nursing literature perspective. Recalled labor and delivery experiences were analyzed phenomenologically in order to extract the meaning of the experience. Five recently delivered primiparous mothers were interviewed. Interviews followed guidelines designed to elicit descriptions of nurse caring. Interviews were tape recorded and transcribed. Data were reduced through a search for themes, and analyzed using guidelines of Colaizzi (1978). The findings were discussed with four of the participants and they all agreed that their perceptions of the experience had been described. Results of the study produced an exhaustive description and fundamental structure of nurse caring.

Title: Tejidos arquitectonicos: exploraciones de la dimimica entre el individuo y la ciudad en "Walking Around" de Pablo Neruda y Aura de Carlos Fuentes.
Creator: Palacio Paret, Alfredo, Erro-Peralta, Nora, Florida Atlantic University
Abstract/Description: Silas Weir Mitchell in 1872 defined as "phantom limb" the sensation and feelings of anxiety, confusion and even pain the amputee receives from an absent body part. By extending this concept and applying it to the architectural imagery within literature, it is possible to observe the dynamics between the characters and their structural environment. This thesis explores the relation between spatial structure and identity in two Latin American works: "Walking Around" (1933) by Pablo Neruda and...
Show moreSilas Weir Mitchell in 1872 defined as "phantom limb" the sensation and feelings of anxiety, confusion and even pain the amputee receives from an absent body part. By extending this concept and applying it to the architectural imagery within literature, it is possible to observe the dynamics between the characters and their structural environment. This thesis explores the relation between spatial structure and identity in two Latin American works: "Walking Around" (1933) by Pablo Neruda and Aura (1962) by Carlos Fuentes. Both authors introduce architecture as an intrinsic element in the construction of their narrative; Neruda's poetic voice wanders around a seemingly living city, while Fuentes's characters abandon the city to become part of a house. The architectural imagery of both texts leads the reader to explore the construction of its literary subjects and to see the physical space as their "phantom limbs." This reading will elucidate the importance of architecture within Latin American literature as well as reveal the maneuvering of the structural representations in the construction of the Latin America identity.

Show moreHenry James's In the Cage offers a character, a young female telegraphist, who constantly applies theories to and comes up with interpretations of the people, objects, and events that make up the world outside her cage. The experiences she undergoes with the telegrams' ambiguous messages and her customers' strange actions compel her to weave an intricate drama that not only clears up the ambiguities but also allows her to play an important role. She creates a subjective reality through which she can embark on an exciting, dangerous adventure. This reality, however, is not immutable. When faced with new sets of circumstances, new flashes from the outside world, she struggles to re-work her interpretations and re-create her fiction; like Odysseus, she is forced to submit to an overwhelming external power and find a new path on which to travel.

Show moreTelevision has become one of the most important influences in the nation's life, especially its political life. The ways in which television presented the news and in which political figures appeared, especially, the Presidents, became noticeably important in the 1960's. It was feared that domination of television by wealthy candidates would further weaken the democratic process. Although such wholesale capture of the electorate was not evident in the Sixties, it was regarded as a future danger. Television news was remarkable for its saturation in the public, its power to calm the people in time of crisis, its conciseness, and the ambivalence with which people reacted to it.
