Abstract:

This applied dissertation was designed to determine the impact of direct writing conventions instruction on second grade writing mechanics mastery at an independent school in southeast Florida. The research study utilized a nonexperimental quantitative method. The design was pretest-posttest with a control. The pretest-posttest assessment was the Children’s Progress Academic Assessment. The score utilized in the analysis was the Phonics/Writing subtest. De-identified data were collected and analyzed from two separate second grade classes from two consecutive school years (i.e., 2011-2012, 2012

Abstract:

This dissertation surveys effaced bodies and the complications and victories left in their wake. While the recent `material turn' in media studies has produced valuable insight into the history of media artifacts and forms (as well as their contemporary progeny), the centrality of writing practices and inscription technologies in such scholarship has generated a rather ironic critical blind spot as regards the corresponding phenomenon of erasure. As inscription and erasure are co-constitutive forces that can only exist through ongoing encounters with one another, it is necessary--if we are to

Abstract:

Several active methods, which requires external control systems and moving parts, have been developed to control the fiber orientation during 3D printing. Active mechanisms like rotating nozzle, impeller, and magnetic field have been integrated to realize complex internal fiber structures. In this study, instead of using active methods, I investigate a passive method for controlling the fiber orientation without any moving parts or additional mechatronics added in the printing process. Composites of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and glass fibers (GF) are 3D printed. Channels, such as helicoid, a

Abstract:

This essay analyses the representation of trauma and gendered violence in Colleen Hoover’s novel It Ends With Us. To do this, trauma theory and the notion of gendered violence are applied in the analysis, as well as Dorrit Cohn’s ideas of diary novels, dissonant narrator and consonant narrator. The findings show that the protagonist, Lily’s, way of coping with her trauma and gendered violence during her teenage years, was to keep a diary, effectively using scriptotherapy. When that was not enough, however, she actively suppressed her problems. The essay also shows that Cohn’s ideas of dissonan

Both are concerned with how a contemporary writer can build a work that references the key signifiers of the trope developed in the 5th century BC, and in doing so reflect present day life and issues. Using elements of poetic language, The Mechanics of Blind tells the story of a contemporary woman who loses her sight when she is in her late thirties.
