Connor, Lena R. "Justified By Faith: The Upper Susquehanna Lutheran Synod and the Pennsylvania Natural Gas Fracking Controversy." Scholarship @ Claremont, 2013. http://scholarship.claremont.edu/pomona_theses/83.

Full text
Abstract:
An exercise in applied Christian ecotheology, this thesis focuses on a community of Lutheran church bodies (ELCA) in North Central Pennsylvania as they grappled with natural gas hydraulic fracturing in the summer of 2012. In the paper, I employ a combination of theological, environmental, historical, and ethnographic research methodologies to ground my analysis of how this synod of Lutherans to date has approached the fracking boom. My primary research question is: How might the Upper Susquehanna Synod of the ELCA--as a representative body of 131 Lutheran churches that are steeped in tradition--use its history, community involvement, theology, and church structure to address an ecological quandary like fracking? I answer this question in four sections, with each chapter focusing on a different thematic sub-question. Though I borrow techniques from the social sciences, I have written this thesis as a narrative, in order to draw the reader into this fascinating community. Instead of separating my literature review from my ethnographic data, I blend the two together in each chapter, weaving together quotes from synod members with secondary source material. Embedded throughout the report are also maps that I have produced using a Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technique to give the story a spatial dimension. Additionally, I use photographs of the synod counties to enhance the reader’s understanding of the region’s ecological and cultural landscapes.

Full text
Abstract:
The prominent division in early America between the established eastern populations and communities in the West is evident when viewed through the lens of eighteenth-century Philadelphia newspapers, which themselves employed an East-West paradigm to interpret four events: the Paxton Boys Incident, Regulator Rebellion, Shays's Rebellion, and Constitutional Convention. Through the choices of what words to use to describe these clashes, through oversights, omissions, and misrepresentations, and sometimes through more direct tactics, Philadelphia newspapermen revealed a persistent cultural bias against and rivalry with western communities. This study illustrates how pervasive this contrast between East and West was in the minds of easterners; how central a feature of early American culture they considered it to be.

Abstract:

Appalachian has many social, economic, and biologic factors impacting dental health over the life-course.

Purpose: This study examined dental caries experience and family structure, dental fear, and fatalism in West Virginia and Pennsylvania.

Method: Using a cross-sectional study design, 2002-2009 Center for Oral Health Research in Appalachia data were analyzed utilizing the World Health Organization definitions for caries experience, dichotomized into low and high. Three groups were studied: 1) children, 11-13 years (N=237); 2) adolescents, 14-17 years (N=191); and 3) adults, 18 years and above (N=1125). For multivariable model development, generalized estimating equations with exchangeable working structures accounted for family clusters.

Results. For children, family (second biological child vs. first biological child and niece/nephew/step-/grandchild/other vs. first biological child) Fatalism Scale, Dental Fear Survey, and Short Form Fear of Pain Questionnaire failed to reach a significant difference with caries experience. There were 38.0% reporting fear on the Dental Fear Survey, and 80.2% on the Short Form Fear of Pain Survey. There were 62.0% reporting fatalism. There were 44.7% first biological children, 32.1% second biological children, and 23.2% with other family relationships.

Overall, for adolescents, family (single parent vs. both parents, same home; and second biological child vs. first biological child and niece/nephew/step-/grandchild/other vs. first biological child) failed to reach a significant difference with caries experience. However, in gender sub-group analysis, living with a single parent was protective for males, with an adjusted odds ratio (AOR) of 0.08 (95% Confidence Interval [CI]: 0.01, 0.42; p = 0.0249). The Fatalism Scale failed to reach a significant difference with caries experience in the overall model. For females, there was an AOR of 6.60 (95% CI: 1.89, 9.64; p = 0.0076). Although the Short Form Fear of Pain Questionnaire failed to reach a significant difference with caries experience in the overall model, for males, the AOR was 12.86 (95% CI: 1.71, 96.59; p = 0.0130) and for females, the AOR was 0.08 (95% CI: 0.01, 0.55; p = 0.100). There were 36.1% reporting fear on the Dental Fear Survey; 63.9% on the Short Form Fear of Pain Survey; and 43.5% reporting fatalism on the Fatalism Scale. There were 54.6% first biological children; 20.6% second biological children, and 24.8% with other family relationships; 53.5% lived in single parent homes.

For adults, a high Dental Fear Survey score was associated with a high caries experience. The AOR was 1.76 (95% CI: 1.29, 2.40; p = .0003). It remained significant for females (AOR= 2.11[95% CI: 1.41, 3.14; p = 0.0003]). For males, those never married, divorced, widowed, separated, or had other living arrangements vs. married/domestic partnering had an AOR of 0.12 (95% CI: 0.04, 0.36; p = .0002).

Conclusion: Caries is a complex disease with many influences. Gender differences exist in age categories in terms of family relationships, fear, and fatalism. Further exploration of these factors is needed to aid in the development of successful interventions to decrease caries severity.

Abstract:
Pionnier dans sa façon d’approcher la prise en charge des malades, le Pennsylvania Hospital for the Insane, construit à la fin des années 1830 dans la campagne proche de Philadelphie, fut dirigé de 1840 à 1883 par Thomas Kirkbride. A travers la culture visuelle de l’établissement, et tout particulièrement l’usage systématique qui y fut fait des spectacles de projection à la lanterne magique, cette thèse propose de relier l’entreprise thérapeutique du Dr. Kirkbride à la riche tradition artistique et photographique de Philadelphie. Dans cette tradition nous retiendrons en particulier les frères Frederick et William Langenheim, pionniers des procédés négatif-positif aux Etats-Unis. A travers l’analyse d’un tableau commandé au peintre Benjamin West, la première partie s’ouvre sur le Pennsylvania Hospital, situé au cœur de Philadelphie, et pose les éléments de la préhistoire de l’image au Pennsylvania Hospital for the Insane. La deuxième partie met en avant différentes facettes de « l’image renversée » présentée par le nouvel établissement et s’appuie notamment sur le projet culturel développé au cours de la période 1841-1859. La troisième partie s’attache plus particulièrement à l’évolution des espaces verts proposés aux patients. La collection de plaques de lanterne magique, telle une fenêtre ouverte sur l’extérieur, est au cœur de cette partie. Cette collection d’objets constitue non seulement un ensemble exceptionnel par son ampleur, la diversité des techniques d’images sur verre utilisées, et la longue période de sa constitution, mais témoigne aussi de pratiques culturelles novatrices
The Pennsylvania Hospital for the Insane was built in the late 1830's in the countryside near Philadelphia. It was directed from 1840 to1883 by Thomas Kirkbride, who made ita pioneer in the humane treatment of the mentally ill. This thesis connects thetherapeutic work of Dr. Kirkbride to the rich artistic and photographic traditions of Philadelphia by examining the visual culture of the institution, with special attention to the systematic use of magic lantern shows. Frederick and William Langenheim,innovators in the negative-positive process in the United States, are especially important to this history. By focusing on a painting that was commissioned from Benjamin West, the first part opens the thesis in the heart of Philadelphia, at the Pennsylvania Hospital,and explores the background period leading up to the use of images at the Pennsylvania Hospital for the Insane. The second part details various aspects of the "reverse image"presented by the new hospital in the country and focuses on the cultural projectdeveloped during the period from 1841 to 1859. The third part looks closely at the development of outdoor spaces for the use of the patients. The collection of magic lantern slides, like a window open to the outside, is at the heart of this section. This collection of objects is exceptional due to its large scale, to the variety of techniques used in making the glass slides, and to the long period of its creation. It also bears witness to the innovative cultural practices which it records

Abstract:
Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI)
Youngstown, Ohio was devastated by the closing of three major steel mills in three years: In all, more than 15,000 steelworkers and another 35,000 in related industries lost jobs in this period. The purpose of this thesis is to study the response of the local nonprofit sector to the closing of the Campbell Works, a mill located just outside the city of Youngstown that employed approximately 4,100. The activities of traditional nonprofit organizations are briefly reviewed; however, much of this study focuses on the story of the Ecumenical Coalition of the Mahoning Valley, a diverse group of religious leaders whose mission evolved into a campaign to garner the resources necessary to purchase the Campbell Works and reopen it as an employee-owned company. Additional analysis is made of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and Weirton, West Virginia; two nearby steel centers that faced similar economic downturns in the 1980s and used the lessons learned from the Ecumenical Coalition. The final chapter of this thesis examines the work of two researchers, Vaughn Grisham, Jr. and Richard Cuoto, and their work studying Tupelo, Mississippi and Appalachia, respectively. In these works, we see cities and regions laid bare by stark economic conditions and the collective action taken by a wide variety of constituencies to not only survive but to thrive.
