Holy Bass: Spirituality in Electronic Dance Music Culture
Creators: name: Walker, Malone
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2015

description: Throughout human history, religious systems have provided individuals with basic knowledge and guidance used to understand and navigate the world. The modern world is no different with people searching for the sacred in new ways and different places. This thesis examines Electronic Dance Music Culture as an example. In order to study spirituality in EDMC I conducted an ethnography of EDM artists. In doing so I set out to answer these questions: How do the facilitators of EDMC conceptualize spirituality and how do those processes interact within EDMCs? So the focus does not lie in discerning a unifying spirituality of EDMC but in teasing out the impact of EDM and EDMC on individuals in the personal construction of their spiritual selves. I draw upon ethnographic research to explain how the creators of EDMC conceptualize and construct spirituality in open-ended ways. I found that the DJs and producers have a dual relationship with the scene as specialist and member both creating, facilitating and engaging.

Eating at the Desk: Human Encounters with Workplace Food
Creators: name: Arinze, Chinelo
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2015

description: This manuscript is an analysis of human encounters with workplace food. The analysis draws on an ethnographic field project in a Downtown Atlanta, Georgia business office to illustrate that project participants operated food to facilitate specific social processes of agency, affect, cultural movement, participation, and exclusion. Commensality at the project site was a common thread for each social process. I demonstrate that project participants? experiences with food intersect rapid workplace changes. In presenting workplace food in the function of a cultural lens as a focus of anthropological inquiry, the analysis argues the importance of workplace as a cultural context for understanding human engagement with food. I argue that workplace is an important cultural site because of the intense time and involvement that many have with it. Implications for workplace food include commercial and organizational management uses.
The Others: Self-Perception And Social Stratification Amongst Incarcerated United States Citizens
Creators: name: Spadafora, Hannah
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2015

description: This research examines how the experiences of incarceration affects the identity and social stratification within jailed/imprisoned populations. To this end, the focus of this project is on how retributive justice ideologies within correctional facilities affect the treatment and labeling of people in a method which turns them into an ?Other? through means of dehumanization, maltreatment and deviantization. The focus is on the nature of the problem, and on the ways variation shows reform taking place at certain correctional institutions. Sources consulted for this research include first hand perspectives and memories of those who have experienced incarceration. Interview questions and on completed surveys completed by eight previously incarcerated participants stemmed from 115 letters written by currently imprisoned individuals. These were read and coded during a one year internship that I completed with the Incarcerated Voices Project. This research was conducted over an 8 week time-span and included 60-90 minute semi-structured interviews with eight participants. These participants are between the ages of 21 and 50 years of age, and served time in the United States correctional facilities within the last 15 years ranging from one day to 4 years. Conclusions feature data analysis of perspectives which reinforce dominant-power ideology, social stratification on which retributive justice is built, and identity effects experienced by persons who have previously been incarcerated.
Medical Music: Anthropological Perspectives on Music Therapy
Creators: name: McMasters, Stephen
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2015

description: Music-based healing is utilized as a healing tool in many cultural contexts around the world. This thesis examines the cultural practice of music therapy in the context of the larger discipline of medicine in the United States through an ethnographic study of music therapists in the Greater Atlanta area. It contextualizes this data with research in medical ethnomusicology that explores cross-cultural traditions of music in healing rituals. It also connects music therapy to the observation that forces of globalization are strongly correlated with an increase in rates of inequality, poverty, stress, and disease. This thesis discusses how Atlanta-area music therapists use music healing with patients suffering from physical and mental disease and how economic stratification impacts access to music therapy. It is concerned with deeper and not immediately evident processes taking place in music therapy, such as the role of music as a medium and facilitator in healing.

Arte Clandestino: Rebellion, Graphic Art and Youth Culture in Oaxaca, Mexico
Creators: name: Barnett, Elizabeth
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2015

description: In examining the artistic mobilization of the Asamblea Revolucionaria de Artistas de Oaxaca (ASARO), this thesis focuses on the transformative potential of the artists? spatial practices through their investment in utilizing urban spaces throughout the city (Lefebvre 1991). Spatial politics of artists allows them to create "spaces of representation" through which they can represent themselves to the wider public (Mitchell 1995). Drawing on Habermas? (1989) notion of public sphere - a place where private people come together to discuss and engage in critical, rational debate to form and or influence a public option - I argue that in stenciling their graphic messages on city walls, members of this artistic movement are physically and symbolically creating space for themselves in discussions and debates that they have historically been excluded from. Speaking from the perspective of shared experiences and struggles, ASARO?s images work to produce the collective subject of el pueblo (the people).

Inaka ga Kokoro ni Fureru: The Practices and Parlance of Cultural Exchange in the Japan-America Grassroots Summit
Creators: name: Walsh, Gary
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2016

description: This thesis is an examination of the John Manjiro-Whitfield Commemorative Center for International Exchange (CIE) and its sole undertaking the annual Japan-America Grassroots Summit. The CIE?s goal is to foster greater mutual understanding between Japanese and American citizens through what it terms grassroots exchange. To achieve this, the CIE aids in organizing a weeklong cultural exchange program held alternately in the United States and Japan complete with a three-night homestay. As a participant-observer in the 25th Annual Grassroots Summit held in Japan, I address the underlying influences shaping this cultural exchange program and limits to achieving its goals. I also address how the summit?s structure and use of historical narratives affects the experiences of Americans who attend the summit when it is held in Japan.
Transnational Health Seeking Behavior of Bangladeshi People Living in Atlanta

description: The health care setting and available health resources impact the health seeking behavior of people. The transnational migrants from Bangladesh find the health care system of the U.S. fundamentally different from that of their place of origin. This study aims to explore the health seeking behavior of Bangladeshi transnational migrants living in Atlanta, USA. Through analyzing data obtained from interviews, participant observation, and autoethnography, this research explains how their transnational status impacts their perception of health and health seeking behavior.
Brushing Off the Dust: Transitionary Diet at the site of Cerro del Oro
Creators: name: Hundman, Brittany
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2016

description: Dietary practice during the transition from Early Intermediate Period (200 BC-AD 600) to the Middle Horizon (AD 600-1000) is crucial to understanding Pre-Hispanic life on the southern coast of Peru. The Cerro Del Oro material was excavated in 1925 by Alfred Kroeber and since been biochemically unstudied for almost ninety years; left dormant at The Field Museum in Chicago. Through bioarchaeological reconstruction of diet and health at the site of Cerro Del Oro from a cemetery sample (N=35) in the Ca¤ete Valley, the effects of demographic and subsistence changes can be examined through a combined analysis of osteological and light isotopic data. Stable carbon (13C/12C, or ë13C) and oxygen (18O/16O, or ë18O) isotopic values from tooth enamel carbonate are utilized to reconstruct diet during early childhood of each individual. Results indicate that the majority of the population were consuming a moderately variable terrestrial protein or C3 diet. This is significant due to the close proximity to marine resources.

description: Complex events (CEs) play a crucial role in CPS-IoT applications, enabling high-level decision-making in domains such as smart monitoring and autonomous systems. However, most existing models focus on short-span perception tasks, lacking the long-term reasoning required for CE detection. CEs consist of sequences of short-time atomic events (AEs) governed by spatiotemporal dependencies. Detecting them is difficult due to long, noisy sensor data and the challenge of filtering out irrelevant AEs while capturing meaningful patterns. This work explores CE detection as a case study for CPS-IoT foundation models capable of long-term reasoning. We evaluate three approaches: (1) leveraging large language models (LLMs), (2) employing various neural architectures that learn CE rules from data, and (3) adopting a neurosymbolic approach that integrates neural models with symbolic engines embedding human knowledge. Our results show that the state-space model, Mamba, which belongs to the second category, outperforms all methods in accuracy and generalization to longer, unseen sensor traces. These findings suggest that state-space models could be a strong backbone for CPS-IoT foundation models for long-span reasoning tasks.
The MARTA Collection: An Investigation of an Archaeological Legacy and Cache of History
Creators: name: Thompson, Lori
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2016

description: The initial rail lines for the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA), radiate from a center point where the town of Terminus gave rise to Atlanta. This massive public undertaking created an opportunity for Georgia State University (GSU) personnel, under the direction of Dr. Roy Dickens, to implement urban archaeological excavations, which were part of the burgeoning field of Cultural Resource Management (CRM). The material recovered from this project revealed a wealth of information about the people, culture, and growth of Atlanta.
Since the conclusion of this project in 1980, little attention has been given to the physical collection. This invaluable resource has succumbed to the effects of decomposition and loss due to inattentiveness over time. This thesis focuses on the physical condition of this collection, its organization, and challenges of reassessing, stabilizing, and increasing the accessibility of the material to allow future researchers the ability to utilize this resource.

description: In Italy, the 1970s were characterized by extended strikes and protests that spread from large factories to the service sector (transportation, healthcare, public administration). Contrary to the widespread view that these labor protests were the antechamber of terrorism—a view expressed, for example, in the entry for “hot autumn” (autunno caldo) on the Italian Wikipedia website—, the article shows that they in fact represented a lengthy process of emancipation on the part of the workers. Italian workers demonstrated political maturity and were able to free themselves of working conditions that were unworthy of a civilized country.

Does tooth size matter?: A dental measurement analysis on StW 252 from Sterkfontein, South Africa
Creators: name: Mayer, Caitlin
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2016

description: Sterkfontein West Pit, dated to 1.7-1.9 Ma, has yielded a number of fossils that are difficult to classify, such as StW 252, which comprises cranial bone fragments, and a full set of robust maxillary anterior and posterior teeth. The purpose of this study is to ascertain whether dental measurements of StW 252 more closely align with those of Australopithecus africanus, Australopithecus robustus, Homo sapiens or the African apes. For M1 and M2, StW 252 is distinct from the comparative samples, and is particularly large buccolingually for M1 and mesiodistally for M2, partly resembling the dimensions of A. africanus, whereas for M3, StW 252 is mesiodistally and buccolingually large. Canonical scores axes show StW 252 as extreme in terms of size and polarized from A. robustus in terms of shape. StW 252 is distinct from both A. africanus and A. robustus, indicating an additional hominin taxon may be represented at Sterkfontein West Pit.

description: Since the early 20th century, Malaysia has relied on the “import” of foreign labor, which led to the gradual institutionalization of a state regulated labor migration regime at the beginning of the 1970s. The article illustrates the historical emergence of the labor migration regime in the context of Malaysia’s capitalist development and growth dynamic. It is argued that the labor migration regime promoted the formation of a precarious, low-skilled class fraction of labor migrants, functioning as a reserve army for the Malaysian economy.

description: This article begins by presenting the “migration act” adopted by the German federal government in June 2019. The act entails far-reaching changes in German residence and asylum law. Subsequently, some aspects of the debate on migration and work in Sozial.Geschichte Online are discussed. This is followed by a final section on how the legal changes are to be classified and assessed with regard to the relationship between migration and work. It is argued that the legal changes are characterized by neoliberal, exploitation-oriented strategies on the one hand, and by repressive, nationalist strategies on the other. It is further argued that the changes will likely aggravate the repression exercised against rejected asylum seekers.

description: Lightweight structures are material-efficient, environmentally-friendly, and have been extensively used in various applications including cars, trains, ships and planes. These structures are expected to possess good energy absorption performance in service to protect either human from being injured or structural components from being damaged. Thin-walled circular, square and hexagonal tubes have been considered as good energy absorbers over the past several decades. However, their energy absorption capacity can be further improved. Therefore, this work is dedicated to developing and investigating thin-walled tubes with enhanced crashworthiness.

Year: 2022

description: During the COVID-19 pandemic, government and health officials introduced measures such as social distancing and facility closures that amplified barriers to physical activity. Certain groups, including people with multiple sclerosis (MS), have been underserved during the pandemic. In this qualitative study we aimed to: (1) explore the physical activity experiences of people with MS during the COVID-19 pandemic; (2) identify the facilitators and barriers to physical activity during COVID-19 for people with MS; and (3) make recommendations for inclusive physical activity policy and programming. We conducted semi-structured interviews with 11 adults (9 women) with MS during January and February 2021. Following an inductive thematic analysis, three themes were developed: (1) changing opportunities and adapting to new opportunities; (2) social isolation and physical activity; and (3) adapting physical activity to stay safe from COVID-19. Common facilitators identified included having knowledge and resources to adapt activities, social connections, and access to outdoor recreation opportunities. Identified barriers included fear and anxiety related to the spread of the virus, a loss of in-person activity options, and the closure of physical activity spaces. Online and at-home opportunities for physical activity were a valued and accessible way to address barriers to physical activity for people with MS, and should be maintained post-pandemic while considering flexibility to accommodate variable support needs.

description: The “Gilets Jaunes” revolt has mobilized large parts of the politically disenfranchised and dispossessed classes. Tens of thousands of people have participated in the movement’s nationwide demonstrations, which have now been going on for well over a year, since December 2018. In “Moral Economy and Power,” Samuel Hayat attempts to assess the significance of E. P. Thompson’s notion of “moral economy” for the revolt. According to Hayat, the revolt is characterized by the invocation of an exclusive community and by the abandonment of an established social pact between rulers and ruled by the rulers. Critical queries must be made as to whether this pact really existed. It could be argued that, given the current state of democracy, the movement raises new questions allowing us to explore the notion of an alternative society.

Remaking Resistance: Cultural Meaning and Activism in the SOA Watch Movement
Creators: name: McGuire, Kevin
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2016

description: This thesis is an exploration of the symbolic dimensions of activism in the SOA Watch movement, which seeks to close the School of the Americas (SOA), a U.S. training facility for Latin American military and police. Through historical analysis, participant observation, and ethnographic interviews with activists, I examine the practices of activism in the SOA Watch movement and the systems of meaning that inform them. As activists in the movement engage a system of power they seek to change, they construct and locate this system in space and time. By inserting themselves into the history and geography of the SOA through practices of resistance, activists construct and enact their own agency.
Dental Microwear and Stable Isotope Analyses as Indicators of Changes in Subsistence Practices During the Spanish Colonial Period in the Lambayeque Valley Region of Northern Peru
Creators: name: Brooks, Keegan
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2016

description: This study utilizes stable isotope and dental microwear analyses to elucidate diet and subsistence practices of indigenous Muchik peoples interred at two sites in the Lambayeque region of northern Peru: La Capilla Santa Mar¡a Magdalena De Eten (CSMME) (n=17) and La Capilla Del Ni¤o Serranito (CNS) (n=18). Burials at CNS date to the Early Colonial Period (A.D. 1533-1620), while burials at CSMME date to the Mid- to Late-Colonial Period (A.D. 1625-1760). Dental microwear and stable isotope investigations reveal a highly correlated dietary profile across both sites, which suggests consistent subsistence practices across the Colonial Period, insofar as can be measured using these techniques. However, there is significant differences between CNS and CSMME in dental microwear features indicating the foods consumed by all members at each site?since sex and age are not significantly different between the two sites?is perhaps attributable to the influence of Spanish colonial rule to the degree to which these dental microwear features capture larger patterns in these two populations. Although samples sizes are limited, at CNS, the frequency of fine scratches and small pits increase with age and coarse scratches decrease between childhood and adolescence, indicative of transitions in diet or the use of the teeth during the maturation. Further, statistical inquiry found no significant dental microwear differences between site, age, or sex in the studied populations.
GIS on the Qualla Boundary: Data Management for the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians Tribal Historic Preservation Office
Creators: name: Mason, Emma
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2017

description: The use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) has become increasingly important for the preservation of cultural resources by tribal entities. This project serves as a platform for the management of archaeological site data on the Qualla Boundary to be used by the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians (EBCI) Tribal Historic Preservation Office (THPO) members. Over the course of a year, data was gathered from various agencies in order to export and create geospatial data that can be visualized, analyzed, and managed using ArcGIS software. A map and detailed data set were created to provide the user with the locations and attributes of archaeological sites, which can be used by the EBCI THPO as a tool for archaeological research and to protect sites on the Qualla Boundary. Additionally, a preliminary settlement pattern study was performed for the broader Qualla Boundary, along with a more in-depth analysis of sites along the Oconaluftee River.
Functional Morphology of the Distal Forelimb and the Evolution of Tool Use in Humans
Creators: name: Love, Sarah
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2016

description: Previous research on the biomechanics of tool use has focused heavily on traits correlated with locomotion, tool manufacturing, and habitual tool use. Features like the breadth of the metacarpals, relative length of the thumb, styloid process of the third metacarpal, and the breadth of the apical tufts are skeletal features associated with the use and development of stone tools. However, there are many traits of the distal forelimb that may also be correlated directly with the development and use of tools. The purpose of this research is to analyze morphological features of the hands and compare them to features of the arm in humans, fossil Homo and the great apes to understand how the hominin distal arm functions as a mosaic in response to the use of stone tools. The results indicate a separation between tool-users and non-tool users when all distal forelimb dimensions are examined. Omo 40-19 falls closer to non-tool users when univariate plots of ulna length and breadth are examined. Ratios of hand measurements to radius length are better at polarizing the tool-users from non-tool users than are hand dimensions to ulna length ratios. These results highlight the role of the radius in stabilizing the hand during stone tool production.
Elemental Analysis of Colonial Period Ceramics from Moquegua, Peru
Creators: name: Wackett, Joshua
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2016

description: Recent scholarship demonstrates growth in archaeological analysis of Spanish colonial reducciones in Andean South America. Critical to understanding the impact of reducciones on indigenous populations is examining production and circulation of craft goods after Spanish conquest. Because it characterizes the elemental composition of archaeological pottery, Laser Ablation Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) is an invaluable tool for examining resource procurement and long distance exchange. In this thesis, I report data derived from XRF and LA-ICP-MS analyses of pottery from two sites in the Moquegua Valley, Peru: Torata Alta and Sabaya. Both sites were founded during Inca control of the valley (c. 1450-1535) but were also occupied into the seventeenth century and have strong Spanish colonial components. Comparing the data with an existing ICP-MS database on locally available clays, I examine differential resource procurement as well as access to imported goods among indigenous and Spanish communities in early colonial Moquegua.
Diet and the Dietary Niches of the Malagasy Subfossil Lemurs: An Analysis of Dental Microwear, Dental Proportions, and Grit Accumulation
Creators: name: Bender, Cristel
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2017

description: The purpose of this study is to identify the currently supported diet and dietary niches of the Malagasy subfossil and extant lemurs. The study was conducted partially in Tsinjoarivo and Antananarivo, Madagascar in the summer of 2013. Samples were analyzed and microwear determined that the dietary niches were aligned with current literature. Grit accumulation occurs more frequently in disturbed habitats and on lower canopy levels, which suggests that human manipulation of environment can impact the dental microwear of living primates.
Watching for Wolves: Perspectives on Policing Among Experienced Officers in Atlanta
Creators: name: Odum, William
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2017

description: The relationship between the police and the public is largely mediated through policing practice and procedure. The perspective of the officer on the individual level, as well as that of the cumulative police force of a community, frames these practices, ultimately influencing the types of interactions that play out between officers and civilians. This paper looks at the ways in which police officers perceive their communities, their jobs, and themselves in the larger practice of policing. Based on ethnographic research on police in the Atlanta area, this work focuses on the perspective of police officers, and how they are affected by training and their experiences in law enforcement. This study suggests that an ontological shift, which is experienced through training and working as a police officer, contributes to a conceptual division between the police and the public for officers, affecting larger public relations.

description: Informed by historical interpretative models pertinent to 18th century rural revolts in Britain, Samuel Hayat’s contribution “Moral Economy and Power” offers a fresh and insightful take on the French Gilets Jaunes movement active in France since December 2018. Arguing against interpretations of the revolt as being spontaneous, he takes recourse to E. P. Thompson’s notion of a “moral economy” and identifies the 42 demands formulated by the movement as central tenets facilitating its ideological cohesion as a community of the dispossessed classes. By completely revoking the existing pact with the ruled, the rulers displayed their contempt and lack of understanding of the ruled’s needs. In response to that attack, a movement characterized by an exclusionary conception of community—regarding its aim to limit and control unfettered migration—has sprung up, questioning the old order and its forms of representation. This may only be the beginning of a new story, if we remember the Anzin colliers’ turn to anarcho-syndicalism in the 19th century, following unsuccessful “moral economy” revolts in the mining communities in the North of France.

Watering Fruits: How the State "Develops Culture" in Korea
Creators: name: Kwon, Sunhyeong
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2017

description: The following paper investigates and analyzes the activities of Content Korea Lab as a representative case of cultural policy implementation led by the South Korean government. This quasi-governmental organization represents the Korean government?s attempt to actively develop the national cultural industry by subsidizing what officials consider ?cultural? activities, ultimately contributing to the national economy. However, these activities demonstrate the dramatic contrast between the stated mission of the policy and how it has been implemented in reality. The study illustrates the peculiar historical and sociocultural factors that significantly affected the policy implementation, through the lens of the actors involved in this process.

description: Au Loong Yu gives a detailed account of the development of the Hong Kong rebellion while focusing on the role of the different protestors’ camps, as well as on the contribution of the labour movement to the mobilizations. Despite Hong Kong society’s deeply entrenched conservatism and belief in the market, the massive demonstrations have facilitated the participation of large sections of the population hitherto relegated to the political margins. The recent Hong Kong elections saw the opposition win a landslide victory, possibly showing the limits of China’s grip over the island.

description: Ageing affects food choices, food-related life and the nutritional status of older people. The latter may be addressed through the targeted development of specific food products. For example, the development of protein-fortified foods could help older adults increase their protein consumption, thus contributing to the prevention of age-related diseases. This exploratory qualitative study focused on exploring the factors affecting the choice of protein- fortified foods amongst community-dwelling Irish adults > 55 years of age. Sixteen community-dwelling adults (between 55 and 89 years) residing in Ireland were interviewed online in relation to their preferences and perceptions of these foods. Thematic analysis of the transcribed interviews revealed that the willingness to consume protein-fortified foods was low and that the interviewees generally preferred to consume foods naturally high in protein. However, if they had to consume protein-fortified foods, their choice and acceptance would depend on the product characteristics such as its sensory properties, functionality, composition, nutritional value and digestibility. Moreover, most of the interviewees would prefer to consume savoury (e.g. bread, soup) rather than sweet (e.g. pancake, ice cream) products. The study also revealed individual-related factors that affected acceptance of protein-fortified foods including sociodemographic characteristics (living situation), physiological factors (health issues), food-related life (diet and food habits) and food-related awareness (lack of information about protein). This preliminary qualitative study provides valuable information to help guide the development of protein-fortified foods acceptable by the target population
Needle Exchange: Social Value for Outreach Workers
Creators: name: D'Alessandro, Elise
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2017

description: This thesis explores the public health practice of a needle exchange program from the perspective of outreach workers in a Southern U.S. city. I explore how outreach workers understand the harm reduction ideology that underlies needle exchange practices as well as intrinsic and extrinsic motivations for participating in the work. I also consider how the needle exchange impacts outreach workers? lives and its social importance as a therapeutic community. I argue that the needle exchange represents an important social space that functions as a therapeutic community for outreach workers where the harm reduction ideology is applied to both clients and outreach workers alike.
Embodying Cosplay: Fandom Communities in the USA
Creators: name: HILL, NATASHA
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2017

description: Cosplay is a portmanteau of costume and play, referring specifically to role-play. Cosplay consists of various costumed role-playing, such as anime, manga, video games, science-fiction, fantasy, horror, mythology, etc. In the 1990s, cosplay emerged as a popular street fashion subculture in Japan that has become a worldwide phenomenon. Cosplay was already present in North American popular culture in association with comic and science-fiction conventions. These events at the time were considered masquerades, not cosplay. Cosplay communities rely primarily on maintaining social relationships via internet communication and word of mouth. The standards for what constitutes cosplay are upheld by individuals, the community, and organizations. These organizations are made of security personnel, cosplay contest judges, local police, and convention staff. Through this ethnography on cosplayers, I will identify the hidden power structures, agency, and resistance or replication of hegemony in the community; by using a combination of interviews, participant observation, and auto-ethnography.

?? Next Time?: Gulf Coast Residents? Relationship with Hurricanes
Creators: name: Lloyd, Robert
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2017

description: This thesis examines how residents of the US Gulf Coast conceive of, prepare for, respond to, and recover from hurricanes, an environmental reality they face annually. The project employs personal narratives of hurricane survivors from coastal Mississippi and Louisiana, drawn from ethnographic interviews as well as historical accounts. Interpretation of museum exhibits, memorials, and displays of symbology and landmarks is also used. These data are analyzed through the literature of theory and findings on disasters, religious and secular responses to them, and human relationships to place. I conclude that Gulf Coast residents accept hurricanes as natural facts of life in an area to which they feel strong personal and community ties. They rely on experience and bonds formed by local and religious communities. Furthermore, hurricanes and survivor experiences are incorporated into self-identity and sense of place, familiarizing the storms while also maintaining awareness of them.

A Bioarchaeological Approach to Social Transition in the Pre-Hispanic Andes: A Diachronic Study of Health at Tumilaca la Chimba, Peru
Creators: name: Lowman, Shannon
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2017

description: This thesis investigates the relationship between long-term, macro-scale social change and systemic stress by analyzing osteological data from two occupations at the archaeological site of Tumilaca la Chimba, Peru. The first dates to the terminal Middle Horizon (ca AD 950-1250) and was established as the Tiwanaku state underwent collapse. Despite political fragmentation, this occupation is characterized by substantial cultural continuity in Tiwanaku practices. The second occupation dates to the Late Intermediate Period (LIP) (ca AD 1250-1476) and is associated with significant changes in cultural practice, suggesting a process of population replacement. This study compares skeletal data derived from cemeteries associated with each occupation. Paleopathological analysis of 20 individuals from the terminal Middle Horizon cemeteries and 23 individuals from the LIP cemetery reveals significant differences in age and sex and in skeletal pathologies. These results are a valuable addition to current literature examining the impact major political reorganization has on individuals.

description: This study aims at exploring how interrogative processes may foster making sense of biological concepts that related to the phenomena protein synthesis such as positive transcription factors, enzyme, DNA, mRNA destroyer, as they are learned in a multiple representational environment that consists of biological simulation and mathematical representation. Five pairs of high school students which they 17 years old participated in this study, which was guided by the logic of inquiry approach and the variation theory. We analyzed the data by identifying the students’ questions through their engagements with the digital tool and the students’ transitions between mathematical representation and biological simulation. The results indicated that the digital tool supports the students in posing several kinds of questions, and the answers to these questions support the students in making sense of the biological knowledge embodied in the digital tool.

Craft Production and Exchange in the Pre-Hispanic Andes: LA-ICP-MS and pXRF Analyses of Tiwanaku Ceramics
Creators: name: Gabler, Colette
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2017

description: The development and expansion of political states is often accompanied by specialized craft production and long-distance trade networks. One of the earliest states in Andean South America was Tiwanaku, a polity that developed near the shores of Lake Titicaca, Bolivia, and dominated the south central Andes during a period called the Middle Horizon (AD 500-1000). In this paper, I report compositional data derived from laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma- mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) and portable X-ray fluorescence (pXRF) analyses of Tiwanaku pottery sherds from a number of sites across the region. I then draw on these data to examine a) whether pottery production was a centralized activity and b) the circulation of ceramic vessels around the Tiwanaku realm.
