A Rhetorical Analysis of an American University's Diversity Policy
Creators: name: Faust, Adam
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2008

description: This thesis focuses on the guidelines that university governing bodies have adopted in order to regulate the actions of its student population and the factors that influenced their decisions. The evaluation of these guidelines is not a judicial analysis, but an analysis of the rhetorical aspects associated with the guidelines.
The thesis contends that the current rhetoric of diversity on American college campuses, while drafted with the best of intentions, fails due to the limitations that it places on its students, the morality argument in which it draws strength, and the increase in differences, not acceptance, that it creates. The research utilizes specific examples of problems that are a direct result of University diversity policies and how they create a prison like structure in which those attending the University must adhere to the uncontested rules of the authority.
"Check with Yo' Man First; Check with Yo' Man": Perry Appropriates Drag as a Tool to Recirculate Patriarchal Ideology
Creators: name: Lyle, Timothy
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2009

description: In this thesis project, I investigate the drama of Perry and introduce his dramaturgy into the academic landscape. As the critical discourse is shifting towards the realm of popular culture, we must begin to locate several discourses at work in the drama of quite possibly the most popular, visible, and financially successful African American playwright of the twenty-first century, if not of all time. Drawing on gender and queer theory, I offer a theoretical discussion about subversive and non-subversive drag acts, and I question the degree to which Perry appropriates drag in a politically liberating or constraining manner. Moreover, I examine the gender and sexual politics in Madea?s Family Reunion to illustrate the ways in which I read Perry as offering a very conflicted dialectic between activist aspirations and oppressive tendencies, particularly in regard to questions of safe feminist spaces, motherhood, female self-sufficiency, female self-definition, domestic violence, and homosexuality.
Wake: A Novel
Creators: name: LeMaster, Liane
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2009

description: This imaginative work of fiction depicts the lives of the Foley family. After a brutal car accident, Kate Foley has lived for the past fourteen years at Gregg Catastrophic Care Center in a persistent vegetative state, leaving her daughter Grace and husband Tom to reconstruct their lives around her. Aside from her mother?s condition, life is relatively normal for Grace; she worries about school, boys, her friends. Then her mother slowly regains consciousness. The family gathers around Kate?s bedside. Grandmother Helen arrives along with Aunt Liz, family that Grace cannot remember, and their stories of her mother?s past are vastly different from the ones her father has told her. Over the next emotional months, secrets are revealed, new alliances forged and others broken as each member of the family grapples with their own issues of memory, self and what it means to be fully present.

description: The purpose of this study was to compare the pass rates of students in remediation classes with
county-created remediation materials, and those in classes with school-created remediation
materials. The instrument used for this study was student achievement as measured by pass rates
on high school assessments in English, government, biology and algebra. A comparison of posttest
scores was used to measure achievement. The design that was used for this study was a
causal-comparative design. The study was conducted over a five month period culminating with
the administration of the High School Assessment. According to a Chi-Square analysis of the
data, it is apparent that the hypothesis was not supported as there was no difference in the
percentage of passers between the two groups. For future research, it is recommended that the
researcher focus on a school population that is less transient, as well as focusing on having a
more representative group as compared to the group that participated in this study.

description: A seventh blind test of crystal structure prediction has been organized by the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre. The results are presented in two parts, with this second part focusing on methods for ranking crystal structures in order of stability. The exercise involved standardized sets of structures seeded from a range of structure generation methods. Participants from 22 groups applied several periodic DFT-D methods, machine learned potentials, force fields derived from empirical data or quantum chemical calculations, and various combinations of the above. In addition, one non-energy-based scoring function was used. Results showed that periodic DFT-D methods overall agreed with experimental data within expected error margins, while one machine learned model, applying system-specific AIMnet potentials, agreed with experiment in many cases demonstrating promise as an efficient alternative to DFT-based methods. For target XXXII, a consensus was reached across periodic DFT methods, with consistently high predicted energies of experimental forms relative to the global minimum (above 4 kJ mol−1 at both low and ambient temperatures) suggesting a more stable polymorph is likely not yet observed. The calculation of free energies at ambient temperatures offered improvement of predictions only in some cases (for targets XXVII and XXXI). Several avenues for future research have been suggested, highlighting the need for greater efficiency considering the vast amounts of resources utilized in many cases.

description: This thesis is comprised of a collection of short fiction depicting the childhoods and family lives of characters living in small northeastern towns. These seven stories explore the impact that the adult world has on the children who observe and seek to understand it, as well as how the events of childhood and the past can permeate and shape the lives of teenagers and adults trying to make important human connections in their present lives.
The Necessity of Narrative: Personal Writing and Digital Spaces in the High School Composition Classroom
Creators: name: Rumfelt, Catherine
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2009

description: In the late 1960s, personal narrative became popular in high school and college writing classrooms as the expressivist and process movements emerged. Since then, personal narrative has recently lost its significance and it is no longer in our writing curricula. In this paper, I discuss the necessity of teaching personal narrative in the secondary composition classroom as it serves an important role in argument. In addition, I will argue for the use of digital spaces to engage students in a critical conversation through narrative.
A Critic in Her Own Right: Taking Virginia Woolf's Literary Criticism Seriously
Creators: name: Richter, Yvonne
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2009

description: Considered mostly ancillary to her fiction, Virginia Woolf?s prolific career in literary criticism has rarely been studied in its entirety and in its own right. This study situates her in the common critical practices of her day and crystallizes basic tenets and a critical theory of sorts from her critical journalism published 1904?1928: the author argues that Woolf does not advocate a policing role for the critic, but rather that critics foster art in collaboration with readers and writers. Finally, this work discusses Woolf?s appeal to writers to invest all their energy in improving their skills in character portrayal to adequately depict all classes and genders in order to invent a new kind of psychological fiction.

description: A seventh blind test of crystal structure prediction was organized by the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre featuring seven target systems of varying complexity: a silicon and iodine-containing molecule, a copper coordination complex, a near-rigid molecule, a cocrystal, a polymorphic small agrochemical, a highly flexible polymorphic drug candidate, and a polymorphic morpholine salt. In this first of two parts focusing on structure generation methods, many crystal structure prediction (CSP) methods performed well for the small but flexible agrochemical compound, successfully reproducing the experimentally observed crystal structures, while few groups were successful for the systems of higher complexity. A powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) assisted exercise demonstrated the use of CSP in successfully determining a crystal structure from a low-quality PXRD pattern. The use of CSP in the prediction of likely cocrystal stoichiometry was also explored, demonstrating multiple possible approaches. Crystallographic disorder emerged as an important theme throughout the test as both a challenge for analysis and a major achievement where two groups blindly predicted the existence of disorder for the first time. Additionally, large-scale comparisons of the sets of predicted crystal structures also showed that some methods yield sets that largely contain the same crystal structures.

description: The purpose of this study was to determine why teachers at a mid-Atlantic, urban high school do not regularly perform their important extra duty assignments. The instrument used in this study was a survey that was adapted from an existing survey in order to determine reasons why these duties are not performed on a regular basis. Thirty of one-hundred faculty members were surveyed for this study, and the selected faculty members were selected to replicate as close as possible the overall composition of the school (race, gender, subject area, teaching experience, etc). Research should continue in this area because these duties are increasingly important to a safe, effective school setting.
The Popularity of Online Slots: What Makes Them So Appealing?
Creators: name: Gold, John
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: Online slots have emerged as one of the most popular and lucrative segments of the online gambling industry, captivating millions of players across the globe. The simplicity, variety, and accessibility of online slots have made them a preferred choice for both casual gamers and dedicated gamblers. This article delves into the multifaceted reasons behind the widespread appeal of online slots, exploring the intricacies of game design, the importance of accessibility and convenience, the psychological mechanisms that enhance player engagement, and the transformative role of technology in shaping the online slot experience.

Game design plays a crucial role in attracting and retaining players, with modern online slots offering a diverse range of themes, innovative features, and immersive gameplay. The inclusion of interactive elements, such as bonus rounds and progressive jackpots, adds layers of excitement and keeps players engaged for longer periods. Furthermore, the accessibility of online slots, facilitated by the rise of mobile gaming, allows players to enjoy their favorite games anytime and anywhere, further contributing to their popularity.

Psychological triggers embedded within online slot games are another key factor driving their appeal. Features like near-misses, random rewards, and the illusion of control tap into the brain’s reward system, creating a cycle of anticipation and gratification that encourages continued play. These elements, combined with visually stimulating graphics and sounds, make online slots highly engaging and potentially addictive.
Absent Characters as Proximate Cause in Twentieth Century American Drama
Creators: name: Morrow, Sarah
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2009

description: This thesis explores the status of a specific subset of absent characters within twentieth century American drama. By borrowing the term ?proximate cause? from tort law and illuminating its intricacies through David Hume?s A Treatise of Human Nature, this thesis re-appropriates proximate cause for literary studies. Rather than focus on characters whose existence remains the subject of critical debate, this set of absent characters presumably exists but never appear onstage. Despite their non-appearance onstage, however, these absent characters nonetheless have a profound effect upon the action that occurs during their respective plays. Highlighting the various ways in which these characters serve as the proximate cause for the onstage action of a given play will expand the realm of drama and literary studies in myriad ways.
The Importance of Being Oscar: A Performance Studies Inquiry of Wilde's Literary Women
Creators: name: Lanier, Sydney
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2009

description: The plays of Oscar Wilde hold more than just sharp wit and likable characters; they also contain examinations of aspects of the playwright's own personality and explorations of possible life choices. Through the use of Performance Studies theory, this thesis seeks to shed light on how Wilde saw himself versus how he presented himself at different points in his life. The texts analyzed within are Wilde's 1891 dramatic religious retelling, Salom?, and his 1894 domestic comedy, The Importance of Being Ernest. Within each are clues to the interior desires of their author: Salom? offers an investigation of a strong female personality in a repressive male society, while The Importance of Being Earnest expands on the feminine taking control over destiny.

Eyes That Seen Too Much
Creators: name: Cloud, Dawn
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2009

description: This thesis is compiled of four short stories and is an excerpt from a story cycle that I?ve been working on for the last four years entitled Eyes That Seen Too Much. These stories follow the challenges faced by the Labossierre women. Although most fiction writing does address challenges and/or how characters face their particular challenges, this story cycle is slightly different due to the unconventional backgrounds of the characters. Katherine and her sister Raquel grew up as Prostitutes in Louisiana, where their mother, Bit (Lil? Bit) was also a Prostitute. The sister?s daughters, Kennedy and Marie become Exotic Dancers in adulthood, and the reader witnesses some of the challenges that they face as children and the social constraints of being daughters of former prostitutes and exotic dancers.

description: The purpose of this study was to determine whether differentiated instruction techniques with
a concentration on formative assessment would positively affect the achievement of eleventh
grade students in a co-taught English class. To examine the effectiveness of differentiated
instruction techniques with a concentration on formative assessment, this study utilized the
pre-test/post-test quasi-experimental design. The treatment, the use of differentiated
instruction techniques, took place over four class periods on an A/B day schedule. No
significant improvement was observed based on the pre/post test results; therefore, the
hypothesis was rejected. Future research is recommended using a prolonged period of time
and varieties of units of study.
The Myths of the Self-Made-Man: Cowboys, Salesmen and Pirates in Tennessee Williams' the Glass Menagerie and Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman
Creators: name: Gros, Camille
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2009

description: Most books written about American drama concern definitions of masculinity, the American dream, and the family in a society that encourages people to surpass their competences and limits. American playwrights of the twentieth century reveal the anxiety and insecurity of men who do not rise up to the standards of the American dream. In concentrating on these themes, most critics have analyzed the main characters and plots but have left aside hints about other myths. This study aims to analyse the extended use of the cowboy, of salesman, and of pirate in Tennessee Williams?s The Glass Menagerie and Arthur Miller?s Death of a Salesman. The recurrence of these three myths touches on the core of American drama that playwrights and critics have tried to define endlessly: the definition of the male in the American society.
The Academic Experience of Students of Color in a Liberal Arts Institution

description: The purpose of this study is to determine whether students of color choose liberal arts
colleges for similar or different reasons compared to white students, and during the
liberal arts experience, how the selection of courses and majors of students of color
compares to those of white students. This study involved interviewing four sample
groups: freshmen of color and white freshmen, and seniors of color and white seniors.
The reasons for choosing a liberal arts education were generally similar between
students of color and white students. Their reasons included small size, sense of
community, and rigor in both arts and academics. There were however, a few
differences, possibly due to the fact that the students of color in liberal arts colleges,
other than different skin color, do not bring much diversity. Therefore, despite the
change in populations of the liberal arts college from its inception to today, it is still very
selective as to what type of student of color is attracted based on her/his high school
education.
Real Pain Supernova by No Anchor (Full-Length Audio Recording)
Creators: name: Rogers, Ian
name: Gillies, Alex
name: Miller, Donovan
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024
Subjects: classificationCode: 360302
subject: Music composition and improvisation

description: RESEARCH BACKGROUND: This work was produced as an esemble called No Anchor. In operation since 2008, the ensemble toured extensively and released two studio recordings prior to Real Pain Supernova (a double LP / digital download). As such the ensemble is long-established within various Australian and international music communities and is a popular ongoing concern by any metric of the Australian music industry (media coverage, download rates, sales, venue attendance, social media traffic). My creative work with No Anchor - specifically Real Pain Supernova - feeds into teaching, research and publication work within the discipline of popular music studies, wherein status as a practioner/ researcher is a valued commodity. With Real Pain Supernova, the idea was to record very cheaply, market on a small, effective budget using online sources and document the results. As a case study for teaching, the project was remarkably successful and has been used in class often. RESEARCH CONTRIBUTION: The No Anchor project itself is innovative, as it encorporates the use of two bass guitars and drums (no electric six-string guitars). This is highly unusual in rock and metal. As the ensembles best album, one both recorded and produced internally (in a purpose-built home studio), Real Pain Supernova is a unique and well-regarded contribution to underground Australian music. The record's subsequent success provided a pathway for likeminded Australian artists and has, over the course of two years, become a benchmark for unsual and/or 'heavy' music more broadly. RESEARCH SIGNIFICANCE: The significance of the project can demonstrated via three means (1) An Australia Council for the Arts grant in 2011 for $10,856.10 to tour/promote the album, and (2) broadreaching media coverage including but not limited to Forbes Magazine, Mess&Noise, Metal Obssession and Cvlt Nation (3) A sold-out vinyl pressing of the album and over 10,000 digital downloads at the time of writing.
Representations of Labor in the Slave Narrative
Creators: name: Barron, Agnel
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2009

description: This study examines the slave narratives The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano, The History of Mary Prince, A West Indian Slave, Related by Herself and The Bondwoman?s Narrative to determine the way in which these texts depict the economics of labor in slave society. Taking into account the specific socio-historical contexts in which these narratives were written, this study analyzes the way in which the representations of labor in these narratives interrogate slavery and address issues relating to the social relations and power dynamics of their respective societies. Emphasis is given to the way in which the gender complexities of slavery merge with the dynamics of labor thereby underscoring some of the peculiarities of the female slave experience.

description: The purpose of this study is to determine whether or not the computer-based program, FASTT
Math (Hasselbring & Goin, 2006) has an effect on a fifth-grade students’ fluency with
multiplication skills. Multiplication fluency was assessed by a pencil and paper multiplication
test that contained 100 multiplication questions (1 to 9 tables). Students for the FASST Math
group (n = 10) were selected based on teacher determined math needs from a convenience
sample of students. Students in the two control groups (conventional tutoring, n = 10; nointervention,
n = 10) were selected to match the students in the FASST Math group based on the
pre-intervention multiplication fluency assessment. After the 4 week intervention, the three
homogeneous groups completed a post-intervention multiplication fluency assessment. An
ANOVA comparing the math fluency scores post- intervention found a significant difference
between the groups (F = 6.50, df = 2/27, p < .01). Scheffe’s Tests were used for post-hoc
analyses. The FASTT Math group (Mean = 48.90, SD = 10.91) scored significantly higher than
both the tutoring (Mean = 33.40, SD = 11.86) (p < .01) and the no-intervention (Mean = 34.40,
SD = 9.37) (p < .05) groups. The tutoring and no-intervention groups did not differ significantly
(p > .05). Educational implications are discussed. Research in the area of using computer-based
interventions should continue given the discussion about the necessity for students to achieve
basic math fact fluency in order to complete higher-level tasks.
Naming Experience and Revealing Sentiment: The Archetypal Journey in Edna St Vincent Millay's "Renascence"
Creators: name: Forsthoefel, Jennifer
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2009

description: This thesis uses archetypal theory as explained by Carol Pearson in The Hero Within: Six Archetypes We Live By to illustrate the heroic journey undertaken by the protagonist in Edna St. Vincent Millay's poem "Renascence."  Feminist archetypal theory is a useful lens for gaining the reader access to the underlying paradigms of struggle experienced by the female literary character because it exposes the parallels that exist in separate female experiences. By applying Pearson's theory to Millay's work, readers are able to elucidate more clearly the methods used by the poet to create commonality and continuity with her female audience. Throughout the poem, the protagonist hero recursively circles through the Innocent, Orphan, Martyr, Wanderer, Warrior, and Magician phases. This essay utilizes a close reading strategy to illustrate its argument and provide evidence to its conclusions.
"Ah Ain't Brought Home a Thing but Mahself":  Cultural and Folk Heroism in Zora Neale Hurston's Their Eyes Were Watching God and Ellen Douglas' Can't Quit You, Baby
Creators: name: Cochran, Kimberly
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2009

description: In scholarship discussing Zora Neale Hurston?s Their Eyes Were Watching God, Janie?s self-realization is central to her identity, and many scholars view and discuss her as a cultural hero. But her success is conditional on circumstance rather than composition of character, a fact this essay explores through a careful comparison between Janie and Tweet, a character from Ellen Douglas? Can?t Quit You, Baby; specifically, while Janie ultimately succeeds in her world?even while confronting gender oppression?she improbably avoids the additional, crippling subjugation of racial prejudice that Tweet endures. Through this and a discussion of definitions and Hurston?s work as a folklorist/writer, I attempt to show that Janie can be more effectively described as a folk hero, a title that: (1) accurately identifies her functions in her fictional society and in literary fiction and (2) satisfies Hurston?s goals in the novel while also accurately reflecting Janie?s journey to self fulfillment.
To Keep on Knowing More(?): Seminar XVILL, The Other Side of Psychoanalysis

description: This is an explication of Lacan?s Seminar XVII. The introduction situates the Seminar in its time and in relation to other theories of discourse. In part one I examine the changes which it brings to a variety of ideas already known in Lacan?s oeuvre such as Jouissance, Master Signifier(s) and Oedipus. Part two looks the four discourses in detail after considering the positions common to each. I provide accounts of each discourse as taking place internally to a subject and between subjects. The coda examines areas where further research is possible, reviews and critiques some scholarship on this seminar and inquires into the use value of the discourse theory, both generally and as a means of getting beyond Lacan.

description: This study surveyed 92 collegiate women’s lacrosse players between the Division
I and Division III levels. The purpose of this research is to determine any differences
between the physical attributes and abilities and recruiting experiences of female
collegiate lacrosse players among the Division I and Division III levels. The instrument
was a seventeen item self-reported survey which focuses on physical aspects and abilities
of the player, player accolades at the High School and college level, recruiting
experiences, and academic college information. Results of the survey indicated that there
were differences between players among the two Divisions for 8 out of 17 questions.
Primary differences between players were evident in physical capabilities, High School
lacrosse accolades, recruiting experiences, and college applications and visits. The
biggest challenges reported in these findings come from a small sample size and lack of
diversity between the four schools which participated in this study. Implications and
suggestions for further research on this subject are discussed.

Lauded by the Fairchild women for his ?difference,? George?s sexuality offers him an identity apart from the suffocating Fairchild family myth. George Fairchild?s queer sexuality and homoeroticism augments our critical understanding of Delta Wedding, the character, as well as other characters. The author?s subtly politicized construction of the novel?s ostensible hero subverts literary tradition, the gender binary, and patriarchal myth.

Protestants Reading Catholicism: Crashaw's Reformed Readership
Creators: name: Davis, Andrew
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2009

description: This thesis seeks to realign Richard Crashaw?s aesthetic orientation with a broadly conceptualized genre of seventeenth-century devotional, or meditative, poetry. This realignment clarifies Crashaw?s worth as a poet within the Renaissance canon and helps to dismantle historicist and New Historicist readings that characterize him as a literary anomaly. The methodology consists of an expanded definition of meditative poetry, based primarily on Louis Martz?s original interpretation, followed by a series of close readings executed to show continuity between Crashaw and his contemporaries, not discordance. The thesis concludes by expanding the genre of seventeenth-century devotional poetry to include Edward Taylor, who despite his Puritanism, also exemplifies many of the same generic attributes as Crashaw.

Heroes with a Hundred Names: Mythology and Folklore in Robert Penn Warren's Early Fiction
Creators: name: Butts, IV, Leverett
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2009

description: This dissertation examines Robert Penn Warren?s use of Arthurian legend, Judeo-Christian folklore, Norse mythology, and ancient vegetation rituals in his first four novels. It also illustrates how the use of these myths helps define Warren?s Agrarian ideals while underscoring his subtle references to these ideals in his early fiction.
The Curiosities (dance film)
Creators: name: Verhagen, Darrin
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024
Subjects: classificationCode: 360505
subject: Screen media

description: BACKGROUND Dance film tends to either use location sound as authentic articulation of movement (a natural sonic documentation of the action), or the application of new sound across silent choreography to render a more polished aesthetic experience. The Curiosities film was the first where Verhagen, who researches in multisensory experience (sound and vision) experimented with points where the sound was completely fabricated as a means of opening up the space and shifting 'reality' from one state to another. 'Magical' sound design for transformative effects contrasted at points with an artificial reality constructed from cloth, breathing, footfalls and flesh, mapped onto exiting action. CONTRIBUTION: This dance film provided an opportunity for an innovative application of sound design to materialise and dematerialise space and action. It provided an important opportunity to explore the different applications of sound design in the cinematic experience of dance, where authentication and distortion of space can be completely controlled, compared to sound in live dance (where they cannot). This, and new animation in the film, led to both an overhaul of the original live music, and a completely new sound design. The benefit of film (a locked off edit, none of the performance variations of live, a space for intimate detail) all permit a level of precision of advantage to sound design. A subtle use of Foley (fabricated breath, cloth, foot and body falls), shifts audience perspective of space and provides 'authentication' of action at key moments, is an innovative device in screen dance. Against a seductively surreal backdrop of contemplative cinematography, 'the key points where sound moved from detached aesthetics to subtle functional articulation were revelatory'.

The Histrionic
Creators: name: Verhagen, Darrin
name: Schlusser, Daniel
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024
Subjects: classificationCode: 360302
subject: Music composition and improvisation

description: BACKGROUND This project was a new Australian translation of the text of acclaimed Austrian playwright Thomas Bernhard. The director, Daniel Schlusser, blends traditional theatrical conceit and anti-theatre transgressions into an experimental adaption of the original text. The approach allows for an embrace of elements that the sound designer traditionally rails against: the sound of the lights and the discomfort of true silence in theatre. CONTRIBUTION Research questions engaged in for Histrionics were: How can a detailed soundscape design give the feel of a space whilst going unheard? How can the conceit of such design sit with the philosophy of anti-theatricality? What aspects of the acoustics in the rehearsal room held the experimental aspects of the production in place - which then had to be redressed in the theatre upon bump in? What are the necessary permissions to move into a non-diegetic score when all music cues prior to the final scene have been diegetically excused? How can such a shift be prepared and what is its effect? SIGNIFICANCE A major and prized commission by Melbourne's renowned Malthouse Theatre Company and the iconic Sydney Theatre Company mounted in both states, with production and design lauded in reviews. Of the Melbourne production, the following attests to the innovative approach of both researchers: "Schlusser's production .. is directed with an invisible hand, with great attention to the demands of its serious clowning" (Cameron Woodhead, The Age). "Daniel Schlusser .. production .. [is] a love letter to the act of theatre making and the egos that drive its creation. The excellent design team ( .. [including] Darrin Verhagen) have taken over the entire theatrical space with .. an aesthetic that allows .. the production to thrive. (Ben Packer, Curtain Call). The production is "Enhanced by...Darrin Verhagen's sound" (Kate Herbert, Herald Sun).

description: The purpose of this study was to determine whether the use of differentiated instruction could
reduce classroom disruption among at-risk seventh grade students. The instrument used was
a behavior checklist that was employed before and during an intervention period. The study
measured the amount disruptive behaviors that occurred during traditional instructional methods
and compared it to the amount of behaviors that occurred during differentiated instruction for
20 days of data collection. The data revealed that there were reductions in disruptive behavior
during differentiated lessons. The results of the study suggest that differentiated instruction
could be used in addition to various management techniques to control and prevent classroom
disruptions. Research on instructional strategies to reduce distractions in at-risk classrooms
should continue as this population of students continues to struggle with achievement and
motivation.

description: Mit dem Inkrafttreten der Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) im Januar 2023 begann eine neue Zeitrechnung in der Berichterstattung europäischer Unternehmen. Diese erhielt Ende Oktober noch konkretere Gestalt – die European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) nahmen die letzten politischen Hürden und konnten ebenso in Kraft gesetzt werden. Erst mit diesen Standards lässt sich nun die volle Tragweite der Reformen erkennen: Weit über den Rahmen der Unternehmensberichterstattung hinaus werden Leitungs und Aufsichtsorgane in die Pflicht genommen, ihre Rollen in Nachhaltigkeitsfragen neu zu definieren und sich in einem bisher nicht gekannten Umfang mit den Anliegen ihrer Stakeholder zu befassen.

description: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of Structured Learning Training on the social skills of at-risk Black and Hispanic males in the sixth grade. Using a posttest-only research design and a t test for independent samples, it was found that the students (n = 12) who participated in Structured Learning Training showed a greater increase in number of discipline referrals than the students (n = 12) who did not receive Structured Learning Training (t (22) = 2.36, p > .05). Students receiving Structured Learning Training also showed an increase in the severity of behaviors generating in the discipline referrals (t (22) = 2.31, p > .05). It was concluded that participation in Structured Learning Training did not result in fewer discipline referrals or referrals for less severe behaviors, but several positive effects of the intervention were noted. Major factors contributing to the results of the study are presented in the discussion section of this paper.
