description: Movement that might be labeled "global education" has been existent in the United States for about 30 years. Global education content has been substantially expanding during evolution of the term. It may be drawn from all social sciences subjects but should not be limited to them. Recognizing that global education cannot be defined in terms of discipline, educators may infuse a global perspective in all subjects. A number of learning activities, resources, and teaching methodologies that contribute to a truly global curriculum have also been emerging and are described here. However, various descriptions and vague definitions of global education have created contradictory reactions among the general population and educators themselves. Since more controversies are caused by values and attitudes that global education is promoting than by its cognitive content, they are explored in this paper predominantly. Thus, a literature review on global education development resolves ambiguity that is inherent in the term and discourages many educators. The purpose of global education is to develop in youth the knowledge, skills, and attitudes needed to participate responsibly in civil activities. Knowledge attainment and skills development have been prevailing global education movement and, thus, gotten more attention. In this paper, more emphasizes is put on value/attitude development and civil participation. All stated goals serve as a basis of goal-oriented evaluation of a global curriculum. An instrument to assess attainment of the four goals of global education was created. It facilitates (1) evaluating the scope and quality of a global perspective across curriculum and (2) evaluating the skills, values and attitudes, and civil participation through behavioral indicators. An evaluation design intended for teacher training was also developed as teacher skills may particularly influence the global education movement. In conclusion, the U.S. global education concept serves as a basis for describing global education elements in Latvia.
Bridging Loves: How Korean-American Mothers and Daughters Trouble "Tradition and Modernity" through Love
Creators: name: Choe, Su
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2018

description: Experiences of love provide a rich source to reveal how people organize social life such as intimate relationships, family, and marriage, as well as how individuals perform and transform within specific cultural, historical, and gendered contexts. The primary goal of this thesis is to understand how social changes affect women?s understandings of love, or more precisely, how processes of modernization and immigration shape Korean-American women?s experiences of love and expectations of marriage cross-generationally. I explore the stories of first-generation and 1.5-generation Korean-American women in Duluth, Georgia to analyze how their different sociocultural experiences before and within immigration construct the women?s understandings of love, marriage, and most importantly, the creation of the self and family and the systems of gender and sexuality. Ultimately, I argue that the apparent dichotomy between ?tradition? and ?modernity? does not adequately describe generational differences nor geographic ones, as both modern ideals of intimacy and notions of Korean tradition travel between first and 1.5 generation women, though differently experienced and expressed.

description: The late manifestation of Tiwanaku affiliated culture in the upper Moquegua valley is known as Tumilaca which is associated with the terminal Middle Horizon (A.D. 950-1250). However, after A.D. 1250 radical changes in residential space, material culture and mortuary practices are associated with the Estuqui¤a phase. This thesis study analyzes diet in archaeological human remains through carbon (ë13Ccollagen & ë13Ccarbonate), nitrogen (ë15Ncollagen), and oxygen (ë18Ocarbonate) isotopic values between Tumilaca and Estuqui¤a groups at the site of Tumilaca la Chimba in the upper Moquegua valley. Carbon (ë13Ccarbonate) and Oxygen (ë18Ocarbonate) isotopic values indicated high consumption of C3 plants and same local water consumption in both Tumilaca and Estuqui¤a populations. Meanwhile, Carbon and nitrogen isotope values (ë13Ccollagen vs. ë15Ncollagen) evidenced low consumption of C4 plants (maize) but high local terrestrial C3 plants and animal meat sources. The low evidence of maize consumption in the upper Moquegua valley could be linked to Tiwanaku collapse.

description: Congenital hearing loss is recognized in humans and other terrestrial species. However, there is a lack of information on its prevalence or pathophysiology in pinnipeds. It is important to have baseline knowledge on marine mammal malformations in the inner ear, to differentiate between congenital and acquired abnormalities, which may be caused by infectious pathogens, age, or anthropogenic interactions, such as noise exposure. Ultrastructural evaluation of the cochlea of a neonate harbor seal (Phoca vitulina) by scanning electron microscopy revealed bilateral loss of inner hair cells with intact outer hair cells. The selective inner hair cell loss was more severe in the basal turn, where high-frequency sounds are encoded. The loss of inner hair cells started around 40% away from the apex or tip of the spiral, reaching a maximum loss of 84.6% of hair cells at 80–85% of the length from the apex. Potential etiologies and consequences are discussed. This is believed to be the first case report of selective inner hair cell loss in a marine mammal neonate, likely congenital.

Dental Morphology and Diet Use-wear of the Belgian Neolithic: A Study of Mass Cave Burials in the Meuse River Basin
Creators: name: Sherrill, Katherine
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2018

description: In order to reconstruct relationships between cave burials in the Meuse River Basin of Belgium during the Middle to Terminal Neolithic, dental remains from five sites are compared. Because molar morphology and the presence or absence of nonadaptive dental traits are highly heritable and biologically neutral, they can potentially yield clues as to the chronological and spatial relationships between sites and the variation within these collective burials. Dental microwear is brought to bear on the dietary proclivities of the individuals represented in the caves and is compared to the variation in molar morphology.
Fracture Patterning and Distribution in the Appendicular Skeleton of Pigs Resulting from Explosions: Implications of Blast Trauma in Forensic Anthropological Investigations of Human Rights Abuses
Creators: name: Lane, Katherine
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2018

description: The use of explosives has become a predominant weapon in cases of human rights abuses. In order for forensic anthropologists to interpret and identify blast trauma in these scenarios, experimental studies on the fracture patterns and dispersion associated with an explosion are necessary. This study aims to examine the effects of a plywood wall and the inclusion of shrapnel materials on the manifestation of blast trauma on the appendicular skeleton in a sample of 32 euthanized wild pigs (Sus scrofa) that were positioned 5? from the explosive devices. Shrapnel was found to increase the severity of trauma, while the plywood wall was determined to be insufficient to produce a different trauma pattern. Traumatic amputations of the lower limbs were observed in both groups. Size was a significant factor in explaining the total number of injuries to the appendicular skeleton such that smaller animals had more fractures than larger ones.
The Educational Experience of Virtual Reality: An Archaeological Case Study of the Maya Site, Vista Alegre

Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2018

description: Archaeological visualization has a long history within the discipline, relying on technological advancements to aid in recording, interpreting, and educating about sites and projects. Though computer graphics have been used as archaeological visualizations for decades, hardware advancements have begun to allow for broader consumer use of Virtual and Augmented Reality platforms in homes, schools, and museums. This thesis explores the applications of Virtual and Augmented Reality platforms for archaeological visualization, specifically in the area of public education. To this end, a 3D model and virtual experience of the Maya site of Vista Alegre in Mexico are created, methodologically explained, and examined to relate history, theory, and the goals of utilizing this medium within the archaeological discipline while expanding on the ethical requirements and empirical methods of praxis. In all, this technology both produces tangible, quantifiable, and accurate data and makes these data more accessible to the general public.

Military Members: Body, Identity, and The Transformations of Military Service
Creators: name: Masutier, Valerie
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2019

description: Military service and reintegration into civilian populations often entails an abrupt disorienting shift in environment for members of the United States military. Navigating variable differences in military and civilian culture directly impacts the ways service members navigate and understand health and wellness. By examining the lived experience of military members, this research aims to recognize how military service is a transformative process of the mind and body and how identity is shaped and reshaped by the institutions they work for. Using ethnographic research, I argue that service members adopt the behaviors and values associated with the military environment which directly impacts their health and identity in and out of the military. This study suggests that the military institution?s involvement in fostering certain behaviors has a direct consequence on how military members navigate and conceptualize their own physical and mental health.

description: The purpose of this research is to explore the relationships among the material conditions, economic and life circumstances, and identities of urban artists in Atlanta. This ethnography uses interview data and participant observation to investigate how Atlanta?s neoliberal economy shapes the lives and work of urban artists, many of whom make their livings in the service industry. Further, this study explores how the city of Atlanta presents itself and attempts to create a specific image, or an imaginary of city life, particularly in the experience of the city?s artists; likewise, it examines the production of artists? selves and subjectivities in Atlanta?s shifting economic, political, and physical landscape.
Analysis of Experimental Bone Tools from Swartkrans Cave, South Africa
Creators: name: Gardner, Sara
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2019

description: Early Pleistocene deposits from Swartkrans Cave, South Africa, yield the remains of Paranthropus robustus and ungulate bone fragments that were manipulated through short-term use. An experimental tool set (n=30) modeled after those from Swartkrans Cave was created using fresh ungulate long bones to demonstrate wear caused by extracting termites, tubers, or both resources, and molded after 30, 60, 90 and 120 minutes of use. Scratch length, breadth, and angle were recorded for all scratches < 80 æm in breadth. The highest standard deviation of scratch angle is seen in the tools used to dig both termites and tubers, whereas the lowest standard deviation is seen in the tools used for digging only termites. Statistical comparison of these results with original bone tool data from Swartkrans suggests that P. robustus, utilized the bone tools for termite harvesting. These results have implications for reconstructing the diet of early hominins in southern Africa.
Lion Dance in the United States: Exploring Panethnicity and Identity Through Performance Arts
Creators: name: Watford, Rachel
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2019

description: Lion dance in the United States has gone through drastic changes since the 1990s. These changes have created a multicultural, pan ethnic, and diverse art form that communities from all over the nation use to connect to their heritage and identity. While many Asian Americans use this lion dance as a way to connect to their heritage, lion dance has also being transformed into part of the American culture. There are also a lot of parallels with the directions that the lion dance community and Asian American community are heading in terms of visibility. Lion dance has become a proxy of Asian American struggles in the U.S. for many of the performers. This thesis looks at how lion dance is growing and spreading in the US, how it has turned into a multicultural and pan ethnic tradition, and the subtle ways it is use politically in the U.S.
Healthcare Providers? Experience With Wellness Seeking Refugees In Clarkston, Georgia

description: Currently, little information is available on free clinics and the volunteers who work in them. Ferris (2011) has observed that ?most of what is known about these clinics comes from the clinics themselves, from journalists, or from general observers of the humanitarian world?, and Bennington (2017) argues that the volunteer population has been documented at large, but that the medical and the free clinic environments have yet to be explored. While volunteering at the clinic I observed the work of other volunteers from different angles and this motivated me to place the question ?Aside from the good experiences, which challenges do volunteers must face in order to open and work in a successful free clinic??. In the attempt to answer this bigger question, what I look for is to be able to add some literature knowledge on volunteers and their points of views.
From the Past to the Present: Collaborating on the Production of a Community Museum in Chiquil , Quintana Roo, Mexico
Creators: name: Razo, Mikaela
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2019

description: This thesis explores the process of facilitating the creation of a community museum in Chiquil , Quintana Roo, Mexico. The growing presence of tourists travelling to Holbox Island, achieved by going through Chiquil ?s port, makes this project timely. Working with the Proyecto Costa Escondida(PCE), the Chiquil  Community Museum Project (CCMP) aspires to identify the dynamic relationship between the coastal inhabitants and the changing landscape, both past and present, through scientific investigations and local knowledge and make this knowledge accessible to the public. It is the accumulation of information through aforementioned means that allow us to collaborate with the Chiquil  community and other regional stakeholders to create a museum exhibit that aspires to do three things: empower the local population through collaboration, serve the community as a reliable source of information, and provide an adaptable and manageable platform for sustainable development. While this project focuses on the initial stages of this process, it is foundational for the development of the Chiquil  community museum.
Diversity, Culture, and Islam in Higher Education: An Anthropological Approach
Creators: name: Panjwani, Laila
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2019

description: Venues of higher education such as universities play a crucial role in exposing students/people to other religions and cultures, contributing positively or negatively to this significant endeavor. Most universities have courses designed to create and share knowledge regarding major faiths of the world. In the US, this endeavor gains additional significance in the current climate of growing tensions around identity and religion, particularly with regard to Islam. This research examines how Islam is represented in a world religion and introductory level courses in higher education particularly at the undergraduate level. Through an ethnographically designed methodology, this study focuses on patterns of approach from an anthropological perspective drawing on a theological framework of Islam as a discursive tradition. I argue that instead of a purely ritualistic or theological approach to Islam, a cultural, contextual and a critical studies approach, particularly at the introductory level is more effective and relevant.

description: STT-RAM (Spin-Transfer Torque Random Access Memory) appears to be a viable alternative to SRAM-based on-chip caches. Due to its high density and low leakage power, STT-RAM can be used to build massive capacity last-level caches (LLC). Unfortunately, STT-RAM has a much longer write latency and a much greater write energy than SRAM. Researchers developed hybrid caches made up of SRAM and STT-RAM regions to cope with these challenges. In order to store as many write-intensive blocks in the SRAM region as possible in hybrid caches, an intelligent block placement policy is essential. This paper proposes an adaptive block placement framework for hybrid caches that incorporates metadata embedding (ADAM). When a cache block is evicted from the LLC, ADAM embeds metadata (i.e., write intensity) into the block. Metadata embedded in the cache block are then extracted and used to determine the block’s write intensity when it is fetched from main memory. Our research demonstrates that ADAM can enhance performance by 26% (on average) when compared to a baseline block placement scheme.

Through the theoretical lens of medical pluralism, practice theory, therapy management network, this study determines what factors facilitate them to seek health-care in the USA. In this study, data was gained by interview, key informant interview, observation, case study, and Autoethnography methods.
The Georgia IUD Project: An Ethnography of Birth Control and Biopolitics
Creators: name: Elliott, Nicole
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2019

description: Political events may constrain bodies, bodily autonomy, and agency. They also offer opportunities to embody resistance. Research suggests that the 2016 presidential election may have been a catalyst for people to select a long-acting birth control method that could ?outlast a presidency.? The Intrauterine Device (IUD) is a form of highly-effective, reversible, and long-lasting birth control, and after November 2016 IUD insertions increased by 22%. This thesis explores the motivations of people in Georgia who chose to get an IUD after the election of anti-choice politicians in 2016 and 2018, through an ethnographic account of their birth control decision-making process. Study participants posited that the recent increase in IUD-use was due to fear of restricted reproductive rights. However, in describing their own decisions, IUD-users found their choices empowering, and follow biomedically-enforced narratives about responsible reproduction in a time of political and economic uncertainty.
A Comparison of Molar Morphology from Extant Cercopithecid Monkeys and Pliocene Parapapio from Makapansgat, South Africa Using Elliptical Fourier Analysis
Creators: name: Kim*, Alexander
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2019

description: To determine whether the size and shape of Parapapio molars are similar to closely related cercopithecid taxa including Cercocebus and Papio and different from more distantly related Colobus, three first permanent maxillary molar molds of Parapapio (MP77 broomi, MP221 whitei, and MP223 whitei) were compared to Cercocebus agilis (n = 11), Papio anubis (n = 10) and Colobus angolensis (n = 11) using buccolingual and mesiodistal lengths, occlusal area, and elliptical Fourier analysis. PC1, accounting for 35% of the variance, polarizes Parapapio and Colobus at opposite extremes from the other taxa, whereas PC2, explaining 19.76%, separates Colobus from extant cercopithecines. PC3 (13.92% of the variance) separates Cercocebus and Colobus from other genera and each other with minor overlap. In terms of shape, Parapapio resembles Papio and Cercocebus, but not particularly so and exhibits variation in lingual aspects of molar morphology where it resembles Colobus.
Residential Mobility in the Late Pre-hispanic Osmore Drainage: Isotopic Analyses of Hair from the Estuqui¤a
Creators: name: Carmody, Danielle
Publisher: name: Georgia State University

description: I examine, through isotopic analyses, individual and regional interactions in Peru following the collapse of the large polity, Tiwanaku. After its collapse in the 11th century, former territories experienced violent instability, as new communities formed during the Late Intermediate Period, or LIP (1000-1400s AD). I analyze naturally mummified human hair from the later LIP Estuqui¤a (1250-1470s AD) in the Moquegua Valley of southern Peru to examine patterns of regional mobility in the aftermath of political fragmentation. Reconstructing residential mobility through isotope analyses is methodologically established, and has been instrumental in understanding mobility, exchange, colonization, and regional interactions during Tiwanaku?s height. However, less is known about these processes following the disbursement of individuals and groups of people after the early LIP when instability transitioned into a different form of uncertainty, caused by environmental factors. Using heavy isotope analysis, I test the oral tradition and ethnohistoric accounts of the origins of members of the LIP Estuqui¤a cultural group, which suggested populations moved from around the southern Lake Titicaca region into the middle Moquegua Valley of Southern Peru during the Late LIP.
I analyzed bulk samples of archaeological hair from ten naturally mummified individuals from the site of Estuqui¤a, located in the middle Moquegua Valley, Peru. I characterized 87Sr/86Sr and 206Pb/204Pb, 207Pb/204Pb, and 208Pb (206,7,8Pb/204Pb for brevity). Additionally, I analyzed ratios of the same isotopes in a subset of individuals (N = 2), using 1cm increments from roughly thirty strands of hair per individual, aligned by the hair follicles. This allowed me to examine incremental variation in isotope ratios during each month or so leading up to death. Hair 87Sr/86Sr and 206,7,8Pb/204Pb results indicate that only one individual, M6-4203, was distinctly from the altiplano, while two more individuals may have also been from outside, but near to, the region. Most individuals appear to have been locals, isotopically speaking, to the middle Moquegua Valley. These data support recent work by Sutter and Sharratt (2019) arguing that the Estuqui¤a inhabitants were a contiguous population extending back to the Middle Horizon, rather than a replacement community from highland Lupaqa cultures or other far-flung regions.
Osteoarthritis of the Thoracic Spine: An Analysis of the Relationship Between Sex Differences and Degeneration of the Thoracic Spine During the Life Course
Creators: name: Bagwell*, Kelsey
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2020

description: Osteoarthritis is one of the most common diseases associated with joint pain and will affect nearly all adults during their life course. There has been extensive research done involving the peripheral joints; however, the spine remains largely understudied, particularly the thoracic spine. Researchers suggest that this is due to the low prevalence of osteoarthritis seen in the thoracic vertebrae (Larsen 2015). However, there is evidence to suggest that osteoarthritis affects the thoracic skeleton extensively, primarily in the lower vertebral region. The aim of this research is to provide a better understanding of the processes that affect the thoracic spine, such as osteoarthritis, age and sex differences, and asymmetry of the thoracic superior and inferior articular facets.
Elliptical Fourier Analysis of Maxillary Molars in the Belgian Neolithic
Creators: name: Bryan, Brandon
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2020

description: Dental morphology, and specifically molar shape, is a genetically stable marker of affinity and can be used to conduct studies of relatedness of past populations. Maxillary first molars from four cave sites of the Belgian Neolithic were compared using elliptical Fourier analysis (EFA) in order to understand the impact of both chronology and geographic distance on differences in molar crown shape within and between caves. Principal components analysis (PCA) revealed that individuals tended to cluster together based on cave burial as well as time period between sites, regardless of geographic distance. These findings contribute to the growing academic literature surrounding the use of dental morphology to understand human population dynamics of early farmers at the brink of the northern European Bronze Age.
Urban Spaces, Places, and Identity in Early Medieval Britain

Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2020

description: The British early medieval period (c. AD 400 ? 1066) was an era of migration and cultural contact that has been underexamined. This paper is a comparative study of the archaeological record of three English cities: York, Lincoln, and Southampton. Utilizing a theoretical framework combining anthropological and archaeological thoughts on space, place, and the structure and role of cities with theories of group identity formation and transformation, this project examines the role of the built environment within and near these urban sites. The project pays special attention to wic sites associated with York and Southampton.
The Representation of the Archaic Record at Traversant, Troup County, Georgia
Creators: name: Gilbert, Ethan
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2020

description: Traversant is a well stratified archaeological site in Troup County, Georgia. This thesis focuses on the Archaic period (10,000-3,000 B.P.) deposits at the site to better understand what life was like for people in this area during these millennia. The location was close to an array of natural resources that were exploited by its inhabitants. Determining the role that lithic materials played is one of the most important aspects of this project, especially the projectile points/knives (PPKs). The PPKs at Traversant are key chronological markers. The excavations revealed features and other artifact types like soapstone bowl fragments and Stallings pottery that provide data on the activities happening at the site. Models of Archaic period lifeways (Primary Forest Efficiency, Band/Macroband, Riverine-Interriverine and Adaptive Flexibility) are tested against these data.

Exploring Predictors of Aggressive Intrusive Thoughts and Aggressive Scripts: The Influence of Associated Beliefs and Features
Creators: name: Fernandez, Stephanie Jane
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Aggressive intrusive thoughts and aggressive scripts are two cognitive phenomena that include experiencing thoughts about harming another person, however they have distinct behavioural outcomes depending on the demographic population they are investigated in. This thesis identified several features pertinent to aggressive intrusive thoughts and aggressive scripts that may be used as avenues for differentiation, to improve the early detection of these thoughts, and to assist with violence risk assessment and treatment for those who report them.

Childhood Trauma in Refugee Children: Caretakers? Perspectives
Creators: name: Khaksari, Ghazal
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2019

description: Many refugees, especially children, have experienced trauma related to war or persecution that may affect their mental and physical health long after the events have occurred. These traumatic events may occur while the refugees are in their country of origin, during displacement from their own country, or in the resettlement process in the US. This study aims to investigate the mechanisms associated with childhood trauma and adverse childhood experiences among refugee communities living in Clarkston, Georgia. This is accomplished through measuring multiple indicators of psychosocial stress of parents in conjunction with other factors including cultural habits and access to facilities, income and socioeconomic factors, medical support, and social and governmental support.

?We?re Still Learning and Growing?: An Ethnographic Program Evaluation of an After-School Program for Refugee Youth
Creators: name: Anderson-Badbade, Shelby
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2021

description: Community-based programs for refugee youth are an integral component of their adjustment to life in the US. This study is a program evaluation of an after-school enrichment program for refugee youth, conducted in partnership with a resettlement agency. It examines the ways in which community-based programs can and are currently assisting in refugees? psychosocial adaptation and acculturation to US culture. Using qualitative participatory action research methods, this study evaluates the program from the perspective of the students. Analysis of the data collected indicates that the program has assisted refugee youth in adjusting to American life through developing meaningful social relationships, supporting their emotional growth, and encouraging students to acknowledge themselves as agents of their own experience. This study also proposes recommendations based on contributions from refugee youth and literature that are designed to assist with social and emotional hardships, encourage peer-to-peer connections, and elevate youth voices in program development.
