From Bison to Cattle: The Ecology of the Southern Plains 1500-1750

Bison made their home on the Southern Plains for millennia. However, their migratory patterns began to shift in the 17th and 18th centuries. My research investigated what caused this drastic shift and how it had far reaching effects on the ecology of the Southern Plains. Using archives from two prominent Catholic priests, I began to piece together why the bison left the Southern Plains. Rather than focus on the Europeans as the main players, I instead focused on the Indigenous peoples, the animals, and the land as the centralized actors in this project. I discovered that the introduction of cattle by the Spanish missions was the leading factor. As the cattle quickly consumed the resources, the bison had to find additional inhabitable spaces. Their swift departure from the Southern Plains resulted in upheaval for the Indigenous inhabitants and the ecology of the Plains themselves

Examination of Four Channels of Flow

The four channels of flow (Csikszentmihalyi & Csikszentmihaly, 1988) posit that high and low levels of skills and challenges comprise flow, boredom, frustration, and apathy. This theory has been frequently applied to explanation of flow formulation. This theory, however, lacks empirical evidences on if high/low skill/challenge formulates the four channels. Empirical evidence of the formulation of the four channels of flow is necessary for ensuring its validity. This study thus sampled 253 online gamers to examine whether skills and challenges formulate the four channels of flow. Consistent with the theory of the four channels of flow, this study found that gaming skill is positively related to flow and boredom, whereas negatively related to frustration and apathy. Challenge encountered in gaming is positively related to flow, frustration, whereas negatively related to apathy. However, this study did not observe a theoretical negative relation between challenge and boredom, indicating the necessity for future research

GUERRA E HEROÍSMO: FREUD E A CANÇÃO “C’ERA UN RAGAZZO CHE COMO ME AMAVA I BEATLES E I ROLLING STONES”

This paper aims to analise Italian pop song C’era un ragazzo che come me amava i Beatles e i Rollings Stones (LUSINI; MIGLIACCI) — arranged by Ennio Morricone — and the ideas of war, death and heroism developed by Sigmund Freud. The symbolism of the Hero is a manifestation of unconscious fantasies of the subject, being that hero real and flawed or fictional and virtuous, and is from Freud’s works (1908a, 1915) and our preview thesis (SARMENTO, 2019) that we will seek aid for our comparison.Neste artigo, vamos trabalhar a canção pop italiana arranjada por Ennio Morricone C’era un ragazzo che como me amava i Beatles e i Rolling Stones (LUSINI; MIGLIACCI) e a noção de guerra, morte e heroísmo elocubradas por Sigmund Freud. A imagem do herói é uma manifestação das fantasias inconscientes do sujeito, seja ele real e falho ou fictício e virtuoso, e é a partir de Freud (1908; 1915) e dos nossos estudos anteriores (SARMENTO, 2019) que buscaremos fazer esta análise sobre o herói da guerra da canção e a psicanálise. Palavras-chave: Herói. Trauma. Guerra. Psicanálise

Kinetics : designing the built environment to combat obesity

Obesity, including its consequences and its costs, is the single greatest public health crisis in modern America. It has been directly linked to cardiovascular disease, diabetes, asthma, injury, depression, violence, and social inequity. These medical problems, and others, contribute to skyrocketing healthcare costs related to obesity and inactivity. Worse yet, the percentages of overweight and obese Americans continue to grow, and efforts to encourage healthy decisions have to this point seemed moot. Hope, however, may be on the horizon. Design professionals, such as engineers, architects, and planners, could be the next generation of healthcare professionals thanks to a blossoming initiative called active design. Active design is the practice of structuring the built environment in such a way that it encourages and helps people to make healthier lifestyle decisions. The analysis of active design, both in theory and in practice, may provide aspiring designers with the necessary insight and inspiration to transform the sedentary, overweight American culture of today into the active, healthy American culture of tomorrow. As an aspiring designer, I examine and analyze active design and its role in public health, and provide examples of how it can be applied to the built environment,Thesis (B.?.)Honors Colleg
