Safe Routes to Monmouth Elementary School

The present study is an assessment of the built environment--defined by C.H. Williams (2007) as physical or manmade features such as sidewalks, street lights, traffic, and parks that impact physical activity--of the Monmouth Elementary School walk zone and a discussion of its influence on physical activity levels. This study aims to address the following questions: (1) how walkable is the walk zone of Monmouth Elementary School and (2) what areas are most and least suited for walking

Some versions of the fragment, 1700-1800

textSome Versions of the Fragment, 1700-1800 examines the eighteenth-century literary print fragment archive to redefine the fragment as a genre typified by its materiality. Eighteenth-century fragments included not just sentimental poems, but novels, satires, and political pamphlets. They are both long and short; written by famous and anonymous authors; canonical and unknown. This dissertation, in recuperating the eighteenth-century fragment’s rich variety, offers a taxonomy that includes three versions of the fragment: the unintentional, the intentional, and the complete. Examining the fragment in this way not only provides categories that can help us better understand how fragments fit within various social and cultural conditions in the eighteenth century, but also how these ways of understanding the fragment can help critics account for its evolutions today. Previous analyses of the literary fragment have emphasized its metaphorical qualities and its formal dimensions. This dissertation argues that the genre is defined no less by its materiality: prefaces, punctuation, and page arrangements are the common constitutive elements shared by all three versions of the fragment. By paying attention to the eighteenth-century fragment’s materiality, critics today can better account for the fragment’s role in the period’s generic developments, as well as its evolving literary marketplace.Englis

Habitat Assessment for Nebraska\u27s At-risk Species: Descriptions of Species Models used in the CHAT (Crucial Habitat Assessment Tool) Species of Concern Data Layer

As part of an effort across the western U.S. states led by the Western Governors’ Association, the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission synthesized information related to habitat for at-risk native species and natural plant communities. The result, submitted to the WGA in the fall of 2013, is coarse-scale, landscape-level information that can be used by anyone for land-use planning. The product of this west-wide collaboration is called the Crucial Habitat Assessment Tool (CHAT). The information, provided through an online GIS-mapping tool, is non-regulatory and gives project planners and the general public access to credible scientific data on a broad scale for use in project analysis, siting, and planning. In the CHAT data and map product, the landscape is divided into one-square-mile hexagons, and values ranging from 1-6 are assigned. The value for the hexagons is based on the values from five contributing data layers, representing large intact blocks of habitat, wetlands, natural communities, and species of concern, respectively. The values for each one-square-mile hexagon in each of the contributing data sets are also available in the CHAT product. This document focuses on the Species of Concern data layer and specifically on models which were incorporated into the data layer. While documented occurrences of species of concern were used when available, survey data is limited. Distribution models were used to help fill in the gaps between survey locations. The models help identify areas which may have suitable habitat and may be occupied by at-risk species

College, Interrupted: A Case Study of the Mental Health Leave Process

Students who experience a mental health crisis while enrolled in College experience an interruption to their college journey. This single site case study examined the mental health leave and reenrollment process and its impact on college student development using the lens of Nancy Schlossberg’s (2011) model of transition. This study also examined the perceptions and values of college staff as they worked to advocate for and support students who engaged in the process. Using my conceptual model of the mental health leave and reenrollment process for guidance, college personnel can use the four main transitions that occur during this process-crisis, time away, re-entry, and return to the college, to develop processes that focus on the supports students need to transition through each stage of the process. Intentional collaborative units of support between on- and off- campus supports are essential to this process. Finally, staff participant interviews provided additional insight into the values of college personnel as they guide students through the mental health leave and reenrollment process. This study found that while students focused on their individual journey and moved through the process one step at a time, staff worked to provide good company to students, not just as good listeners, but as active team members in the student journey. By accessing comprehensive supports that position students to develop coping strategies they can move out of the process and onto a place where they can flourish
