The purpose of this paper is to examine what people in the Hmong community think of the length and cost of Hmong traditional full-serve funerals, as well as alcohol use to show gratitude to visitors who attend the funeral. The study is based on…

Tara Hashemi examines Graduate Student Teachers’ (GSTs’) perceptions of their professionalization in FL programs which have adopted a literacy-based approach to teaching French in the United States. Findings show that while some clear efforts are…

Convolutional neural networks, as a type of deep learning approach, have revolutionized the field of computer vision and pattern recognition through state of the art performance in a large number of classification tasks. Machine learning has been…

Culturally sustaining pedagogy (CSP) has been espoused by many as a necessary philosophy to adopt in education. Yet beginning teachers often struggle to support the needs of linguistically and culturally diverse children. Some have posited that these…

Graph technologies are now widely available in K-12 science and mathematics classrooms. These technologies have the potential to impact the learning of science and mathematics, especially by supporting student investigations. We use meta-analysis to…

This article explores the experiences of Spanish-speaking heritage language university students in a sign language interpreting program who were enrolled in service-learning classes. In the service-learning classes, the students partnered with a…

United States highway agencies use best-value procurement with a fixed price to select design builders. This method enables public agencies to choose the best proposer by assessing several factors in addition to price. Theoretically, considering cost…

Zerovalent iron nanotechnologies are widely used for groundwater remediation and increasingly considered for advance oxidation treatment in drinking water applications. Iron nanoparticles have been detected in drinking water systems and considered…

Objective – While library literature contains many studies examining faculty perceptions of the value of librarian-led information literacy (IL)instruction, there is little evidence regarding IL instruction practices of disciplinary faculty…

Two research streams examine how social movements operate both “in and around” organizations. We probe the empirical spaces between these streams, asking how activism situated in multi-organizational contexts contributes to transformative social…

Emotion regulation—as a vital part of children’s development, school readiness, and academic success—begins to develop in infancy and toddler time. Much of the research on toddler emotion regulation are correlational studies in laboratory settings.…

Documentary short following the John Corcoran Foundation as they combat illiteracy and sub-literacy in Kings County, CA

Certain peoples of the American Southwest plant turkey feathers in their fields, mystically intended to attract rain. Farther south, the wild turkey represents the rain god Tlaloc, whose dwelling beneath the vast American deserts is still, in places,…

A scholar of the Machiavelli’s Art of war hardly thinks of comparing it to Sunzi bingfa, due to the radical diversity between a text placed in a precise and well-known historical context (Machiavelli) and of strong thought, and another (Sunzi bingfa)…

This article addresses the existing gap in the literature by proposing a new measure of nationalism across multiple states in ECE. Using ISSP data from 1995 to 2013 and Mokken scale analysis, I create a set of nationalism indices that account for the…

This article documents the design and implementation of a culturally responsive critical media literacies curriculum centered around media representations of the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL). Students (grades 6-8) were invited to discuss media…

In quantum gravity it is generally thought that a modified commutator of the form [(x) over cap, (p) over cap] = ih(1 + beta p(2)) is sufficient to give rise to a minimum length scale. We test this assumption and find that different pairs of modified…

Ideas about quantum gravity often postulate that at some high energy/momentum scale there will be a fixed, minimal length. Such a minimal length can be phenomenologically investigated by modifying the usual Heisenberg Uncertainty Relation-ship,…
