Abstract:
Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited<br>This thesis examined two sites from a Landsat scene of portions of Honduras and Nicaragua. One site was examined for potential water obstacles, and the other was examined for cover and concealment provided by vegetation. The results suggest that potential water obstacles can be detected. It is not clear if vegetative cover and concealment can be reliably detected. A study using better ground reference information than was available is necessary to answer that question. Several unsupervised classification algorithms were used and compare

Honour killings are considered by the perpetrators the only path to maintain theirs and their family honour, preventing other's to follow behaviours that move away from traditional patriarchal values. With the aim of exploring how honour killings are characterised, a qualitative study within three European newspapers, in three different languages, was conducted. The findings showed that often the victims are characterised as young women and girls that want to live independently from their birth cultures or that acted in a way considered to be a dishonour to their family culture.

Abstract:
Research on heavy metal music has traditionally been framed by deviant characterizations, effects on audiences, and the validity of criticism. More recently, studies have neglected content analysis due to perceived homogeneity in themes, despite evidence that the modern genre is distinct from its past. As lyrical patterns are strong markers of genre, this study attempts to characterize heavy metal in the 21st century by analyzing lyrics for specific themes and perspectives.

The way in which people engage with a cultural heritage creates implications and negotiated ways of being.

Furthermore, there is evidence that partners are most at risk of burden within the informal caregiving context. The meta-ethnograp

Aim: To describe medical nurses’ experiences caring for patients and families within an environment with open visiting hours (OVH). Background: OVH is an approach where families and friends can visit patients without restrictions. OVH is a strategy used by hospitals to promote patient-and-family-centered care (PFCC). In an OVH environment, the increased presence of family can alter nurses’ working environments. However, research examining nurses’ perspectives on OVH is limited. As OVH becomes more widely implemented, it is essential to understand the influence of OVH on the nurse. Design: A

Abstract:
<p> Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a common psychological effect of military combat. However, little empirical research has been done to highlight specific complications and needs in treating this population, and even less has been done using the psychedelic drug MDMA. This study used the qualitative research method of thematic analysis to explore the lived experiences of combat veterans engaged in MDMA-assisted psychotherapy for PTSD. This study reviewed video, as well as narrative data from MDMA psychotherapy sessions. Thematic analysis was used to analyze the transcribed audio dat

Abstract:
De nombreuses approches ont été développées pour analyser la quantité croissante de donnée image disponible. Parmi ces méthodes, la classification supervisée a fait l'objet d'une attention particulière, ce qui a conduit à la mise au point de méthodes de classification efficaces. Ces méthodes visent à déduire la classe de chaque observation en se basant sur une nomenclature de classes prédéfinie et en exploitant un ensemble d'observations étiquetées par des experts. Grâce aux importants efforts de recherche de la communauté, les méthodes de classification sont devenues très précises. Néanmoins,

Abstract:
This study expands current crisis communication research by exploring the communication of instructing information via Twitter. Drawing from the internalization, explanation, and action components of Sellnow & Sellnow's (2013) IDEA Model, this study analyzes live tweets posted by the Boston Police Department during the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing crisis. Examining Tweets posted during a crisis allows us to better understand what constitutes useful, valuable instructing information that can be communicated via social media in real time. Further, scholars have just begun exploring social media'

Abstract:
People around the globe rely on their mobile devices for instant access to entertainment and social media. Children comprise a large majority of individuals who use smartphone applications, particularly for gaming and learning opportunities. Understandably, these apps become part of the identity development process, including the formation of one's gender identity. App developers include gendered content to capture and maintain children's attention, but much of the existing research examines children in late childhood and early adolescence, leaving the ages of six to eight relatively undiscuss
