- Women’s Representation in Contemporary Hollywood Film Culture.
- Creator
- Trujillo, Michelle, Sim, Gerald, Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters
- Abstract/Description
-
See Her is a found footage montage that identifies the issue of women’s representation in contemporary Hollywood film culture. It analyzes different ways that spectatorship develops through the division of the film into four sections of which three analyze film from the perspective of Laura Mulvey, Mary Ann Doane, and Linda Williams. These three sections also approach the representation of women as a sociological issue of oppression as discussed by sociologist Patricia Hill Collins. The last...
Show moreSee Her is a found footage montage that identifies the issue of women’s representation in contemporary Hollywood film culture. It analyzes different ways that spectatorship develops through the division of the film into four sections of which three analyze film from the perspective of Laura Mulvey, Mary Ann Doane, and Linda Williams. These three sections also approach the representation of women as a sociological issue of oppression as discussed by sociologist Patricia Hill Collins. The last section serves as a speculative vision of the future of female representation in Hollywood Film Culture. While this film is critical on the current state of representation, it presents hope for a more equal future.

- Title
- Urban Sprawl: The Invisible Destroyer of the Environment.
- Creator
- Gastineau, Megan, Holman, Mirya R., Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters
- Abstract/Description
-
The purpose of this research is to inform Americans of what sprawl is and the negative effects it has on the environment. Sprawl is the unnecessary expansion of urban areas onto valuable unused land. In 2013, only 26% of Americans saw sprawl as a problem at all. Yet sprawl is the culprit behind better known issues, such as air pollution and water contamination. The increased use of vehicles and runoff makes sprawled out areas more polluted than compact cities. Because condensing a city is not...
Show moreThe purpose of this research is to inform Americans of what sprawl is and the negative effects it has on the environment. Sprawl is the unnecessary expansion of urban areas onto valuable unused land. In 2013, only 26% of Americans saw sprawl as a problem at all. Yet sprawl is the culprit behind better known issues, such as air pollution and water contamination. The increased use of vehicles and runoff makes sprawled out areas more polluted than compact cities. Because condensing a city is not a workable solution, another way is to improve public transportation. Places that have more sprawl force people to use cars. Improving public transportation by making it more accessible and reliable would encourage people to not use their cars, which saves them money and, in turn, causes less pollution.

The International Court of Justice (ICJ) presides over the contentious issues, such as boundary disputes and military conflict, for all United Nation’s (UN) members. Its rulings, legally binding, guide international affairs between states by holding them accountable to international law.

Show moreThe International Court of Justice (ICJ) presides over the contentious issues, such as boundary disputes and military conflict, for all United Nation’s (UN) members. Its rulings, legally binding, guide international affairs between states by holding them accountable to international law. Previous studies have found that the judges on the ICJ display judicial bias. However, scholars have yet to evaluate whether judges are influenced by a regional association with a party in the cases. To evaluate the role of region in ICJ rulings, I developed a dataset containing: 1) nationality of judges in contentious cases, 2) states party to a case, 3) states’ regions, and 4) case subject. This data is then used to evaluate the relationship between ICJ judges, state region, and the outcome of case rulings in order to determine whether regional bias exist today within the UN.

Globalization has become an agent of socioeconomic and communicative integration and today it envelops all aspects of human life.

Show moreGlobalization has become an agent of socioeconomic and communicative integration and today it envelops all aspects of human life. The quasi-immediate exchange of information that surpasses the now ancient barriers of time and space has triggered a sociocultural revolution with perceptible effects on the linguistic characteristics that are at the core of collective and individual identities. Among the most noticeable cultural changes are neologisms, which are often at the center of heated linguistic debates. Some claim that the increased use of neologisms in the Italian language is a natural component of the fluctuating nature of a language and that their use enriches it. Linguistic purists take a more conservative stance and view neologisms as a linguistic enemy who blurs the distinctive differences among languages and robs them of their uniqueness. Neologisms are a mirror of contemporary Italian society and their use entails an often subconscious support of certain social currents.

Show moreAs society is continuing to become digitally integrated, many museums and archives are facing difficulty appealing to newer generations, especially those that are raised on digital availability of resources. Beginning with an explanation of the history of museums, my thesis expands on the evolution of museums, focusing on the current digital climate. The current digital revolution is an exigent matter that museums and non-profits must respond to, and without proper financial assistance and adaptation of new technologies, museums and non-profits cannot fully achieve digital integration. New technologies allow museums to appeal universally: rather than being available to only a specific community, digitization has allowed museums to dissipate information globally. Ultimately, the question for archives and museums has evolved from how to provide information to the public to how museums and other non-profit organizations can better adapt to the growing needs of the digital age and those within it.

- The Determinants of Democratic Consolidation in Eastern Europe and the Former USSR.

- Dolun, Deniz, Shaykhutdinov, Renat, Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters
- Abstract/Description
-
The process of democratization still remains an ongoing process in the majority of the Eastern Bloc nations. A quarter century after the dissolution of the USSR and her satellite states, only eight of twenty-eight transitioning states have been able to fully democratize. Several of these anocratic states are today characterized by routine human rights violations, state repressions of civil society, and incarcerations of political opposition.

Show moreThe process of democratization still remains an ongoing process in the majority of the Eastern Bloc nations. A quarter century after the dissolution of the USSR and her satellite states, only eight of twenty-eight transitioning states have been able to fully democratize. Several of these anocratic states are today characterized by routine human rights violations, state repressions of civil society, and incarcerations of political opposition. There is limited cohesive research on how the Post-Communist formation of oligarchs across Eurasia and increases in democratic transitioning period have influenced democratization. In this study, I research, test, and explain the effects of Post-Communist oligarchies and the periods of democratic transitions on current levels of democratic consolidation in twenty-eight former socialist states through publicly available statistics and primary sources. I find that while oligarchical influence on democratization is limited, shorter democratic transitions produce significantly higher levels of democratic consolidation than their prolonged counterparts.

Show moreThe HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) defines regulations to help protect patient’s information. Now as the health information technology (Health IT) environment becomes an even more integral part in the field of medicine, it is vital that HIPAA’s privacy protection is applied to the handling of patient’s information by medical devices. These devices not only perform their intended medical functionality, but they also perform other functionalities that can be affected by security threats. As a result, HIPAA’s privacy guidelines need to be enforced by appropriate security mechanisms within these medical devices. Security mechanisms can be described by software patterns. A few of these patterns will be discussed, showing how they can handle such threats. We will survey existing patterns and identify which other patterns would be necessary.
