HAUDENOSAUNEE MEN AND MASCULINITIES IN HIGHER EDUCATION: PERCEPTIONS, REMINDERS, AND RESPONSIBILITIES TO COMMUNITY

Native men in higher education experience among the lowest persistence and graduation rates in the United States (Condition of Education, 2020). Native men are subjected to systemic barriers brought by settler colonialism such as racism and patriarchal hegemony which negatively impact their perceptions of masculinity and forces them to move away from their traditional cultural teachings (Boyden, et al., 2014; Innes & Anderson, 2015). These systemic barriers also detrimentally impact the perceptions and experiences of Native men in higher education (Poolaw, 2018; Still, 2019). The experiences of Native men in higher education still need to be explored further (Reyes & Shotton, 2018). Native students often feel marginalized, and their experiences are made invisible in education research and statistics, causing their stories to be left untold. Using Indigenous Storywork (Archibald, 2008) and Critical Race Methodology (Solórzano & Yosso, 2002), this qualitative study examines the experiences of 13 Haudenosaunee men in higher education and grapples with Indigenous student perceptions of Indigenous masculinities. This study aims to address the following research questions: How do Haudenosaunee men understand Indigenous masculinities? What are the experiences of Haudenosaunee men in higher education? How do perceptions of masculinity affect Haudenosaunee men in higher education? This is an asset-based study, designed to empower Native students, strengthen Haudenosaunee communities, and to inform practice for higher education professionals who are committed to maintaining inclusive campuses amidst the growing demands of richly diverse populations locally, nationally, and globally

The Scribe of the Oaths of Strassburg: What was his Nationality?

It is the purpose of this paper to suggest an answer, based on reasons chiefly paleographical, to the query serving as its title. The writer has had at his disposal the plates in G. Paris: Les plus anciens Monuments de la Langue Française, 1875, planche I; M. Ennecerus: Die ältesten deutschen Sprachdenkmäler, Frankfurt am Main, 1897, Tafeln 34-36; and Steffens: Lateinische Paläographie, Supplement zur zweiten Auflage, Freiburg in der Schweitz, 1908, Tafel 31. The latter two collections have been of especial service in this inquiry, for the Ennecerus plates, for example, furnish six whole columns of the complete manuscript; i. e., not only the text of the Oaths in the Romance and German versions, but also, what is extremely important for our investigation, the Latin context in which the Romance and German texts are embedded

An Evaluation of Pregnancy-associated Morbidity among Georgia\u27s USDA Designated Food Deserts, 2009-2010

Objective: To assess the affect of pregnant women residing in a USDA designated food desert on the development of pregnancy-associated morbidities Results: Living in a USDA food desert is not significantly associated with the development of pregnancy-associated morbidity [OR=0.973; CI: 0.835-1.134; p-value=0.728]. Backward stepwise regression showed all proposed potential confounders were significantly associated with the development of pregnancy-associated morbidity. These potential confounders include maternal age, regular exercise routine or previous diagnosis of diabetes or hypertension (p-values \u3c 0.02). Conclusion: Residing in a USDA designated food desert is not associated with the development of pregnancy-related morbidity. This analysis suggests other sociodemographic risk factors, such as maternal age or exercise routine, as indicators of morbidity rather than food accessibility

Becerro de Benvivere: Third Part: Containing the "Vida de El Señor Diego Martinez Salvador, Fundador de Benevivere Llamado El Santo."

The Archive Histôrico Nacional contains among its treasures two MSS. with thé same signature 927–B, one of which bears the additional name of Becerro de Benevivere (or Bembivere). My attention was called to it by a learned note in J. Amador de los Rios, Historia critica de la Literatura Española, tom. II, p. 240, note l, where after mentioning the existence of several Latin poems on Spanish subjects he adds "no siendo menos notable el Poema de Benevivere, en que se célébra la fundacion de este monasterio por don Diego Martinez de Villa Mayor, obra debida á Pascasio, primer abad de dicha casa. Guârdase este raro monumento en la Real Academia de la Historia entre otros códices, traidos de Benevivere; y carece de principio, tratandose en el cuerpo.del poema de las virtudes de don Diego, su valia, su poder, y su piedad; y narrandose la fundacion, dotacion, eleccion de abad, y confirmacion apostolica, amonestase por ultimo à seguir honesta y santa vida, dândose noticia de la cristiana muerte de don Diego, de la adopcion que hace Alfonso VIII del monasterio y de la visita, con que le honra y favorece." None of the books to which I have access state when this fondo was transferred to the Archivo. the MS. in question is not a true Becerro at all, but merely contains a series of works written at or about the Convent

Relationship Between Body Composition, Diet, and Food Addiction in Young Adult Females

Addictive behavior in relation to food is often a consistent variable with obesity and aberrant eating. However, body composition alone is not a strong indicator of food addiction, rather is associated with other factors such as quality of diet, making the compulsive behavior difficult to diagnose. Eating disorders are widespread amongst young adult females and warrant further investigation. PURPOSE: To identify various factors that may attribute to food addiction symptoms in young adult females. METHODS: The study consisted of twelve physically healthy females (age = 20.8 ± 1.6 yr and BMI = 21.9 ± 1.6 kg/m2). Dual-Energy X-ray absorptiometry was used to evaluate body composition. A 3-day dietary log was collected (2 weekdays and 1 weekend day) and analyzed using the Food Processor Software. Symptoms of food addiction were evaluated using the Yale Food Addiction Scale 2.0. Six participants displaying food addiction symptoms (FAS) were matched (BMI, age, fat-free mass, and body fat %) and compared with 6 complementary females without food addiction symptoms (WFAS). Data were analyzed via a Pearson correlation analysis and a one-way ANOVA (p \u3c 0.05). RESULTS: There was no statistically significant difference found in intake of energy, carbohydrates, proteins, fats, and saturated fats based on total calories. Although not statistically significant, the mean omega-3 intake of FAS (.88 ± .58g) was lower than that of WFAS (1.07 ± 1.03g), and omega-6 was 6.2 ± 4.9g for FAS and 4.2 ± 2.5g for WFAS, respectively. The macronutrient breakdown for FAS was as follows: total intake – 1572 ± 69 kcal/day, carbohydrates – 706 ± 132 kcal/day, proteins – 308 ± 52 kcal/day, and fats – 557 ± 83 kcal/day. The macronutrient breakdown for WFAS was 1923 ± 527 kcal/day (total intake), 875 ± 208 kcal/day (carbohydrates), 346 ± 123 kcal/day (proteins), and 701 ± 248 kcal/day (fats). WFAS consumed 208 ± 72 kcal/day of saturated fats, while FAS consumed 25% more saturated fats (265 ± 35 kcal/day). Waist to hip ratio between FAS and WFAS was significantly different (p = .032), where FAS = 0.75 ± 0.03 and WFAS = 0.70 ± 0.03. CONCLUSION: Though there was no significant statistical difference in total caloric intake between the food addictive and non-addictive groups, there was a noticeable trend that the food addictive group consumed fewer calories but had a higher waist to hip ratio. This trend suggests that the quality of diet, rather than total intake, may be related to a higher waist to hip ratio. Additionally, the food addictive group had a lower total fat intake and consumed more saturated fats than the non-addictive group. Saturated fats are conventional in most heavily processed foods. Though the food addictive group is consuming fewer total calories, there is a larger portion of their diet made up of saturated fats suggesting an imbalance in diet quality associated with food addiction. Future research analyzing the type and quality of food consumed in larger sample size is encouraged
