The world shattered after the War of Ruin. There was hatred running so deep within the seams of this world, it seemed beyond repair. Kyra wanted this world to be a better place for her brother, but she was just one girl. A thief, doing her best to give her little brother the life she never had. But every life mattered. Whether demon, Fae, human or... A Fallen. Fallen hadn''t been seen in over six centuries, why would one be here now? Why would he come to the Human Court? He knew the truth. He must have. The truth no one else saw, the truth only Kyra had figured out. The witches were brewing something in the heart of the Human Court, something worse than the war that took the dragons, worse than the war that shattered the world. This time, they would take everything, but if she truly had an ally in this Fallen stranger, maybe just maybe, this world stood a chance.

The effective communication of emotions within audio-visual content, such as film, was one of the most important aspects that needed to be considered when creating such content. Within the field of communication, there was a limited amount of research that existed on the communication of emotions in film. This was a problem as such content is becoming more prevalent in society. Knowing how those emotions were created and developed would allow communication scholars to better understand how to effectively elicit emotions from their own audio-visual content. By examining a well-known series, Obi-Wan Kenobi, scholars could see how different aural and visual elements influenced the emotions found in a narrative. Most communication scholars would accomplish this using media framing theory, yet there are limitations with this theory. Therefore, by bringing integrative framing analysis to help fill the gaps, a more complete analysis of aural and visual frames can be accomplished. Throughout this study, aural and visual frames found within the series were integrated and analyzed together before conducting separate analyses for each kind of frame. In some cases, aural frames held more influence over the emotions being conveyed by a character and in others, visual frames held more influence. There were, however, some cases where the emotions conveyed had the most influence when both aural and visual frames were examined together.

The goal of this study was to explore factors that may impact the correlation between self-report and observation of two teacher strategies: praise and response to rule violations. Participants were 71 elementary school teachers (100% Female; 98.6% White) who completed a battery of measures and reported on their use of specific classroom management strategies prior to and after a 30-minute observation. Researchers examined the effect of temporal consistency on the association between self-report and observation (Aim 1) and explored whether the relationship between self-report and observation is moderated by four teacher factors: self-efficacy, stress, knowledge of behavioral principles, and observed global classroom competency (Aim 2). For Aim 1, as hypothesized, the association between self-report and observation was significantly stronger in the temporally consistent condition than the temporarily inconsistent condition for rate of total praise, rate of labeled praise, and percent of praise that is labeled. However, for response to rule violations, unexpectedly the association was stronger in the temporarily inconsistent condition. For Aim 2, none of the teacher factors were significant moderators. Limitations and implications are discussed

This dissertation argues that the Armed Services Editions (1942-1947) as an inherently middlebrow project, together with the post-WWII GI bill education and housing benefits, cohered and solidified an enduring fiction of the American Dream as one in which hard work can yield the success and comfort of suburban middle-class life. The middlebrow nature of the American Dream is intimately connected to the concept of military masculinity, a particular conception of gender presentation and formation which was perceived as essential to winning the War. Discussing conceptions of American identity, the middlebrow, and the military masculine together brings us closer to an understanding of the American Dream--and thus, of the fiction of American identity--as innately middlebrow and intimately connected to the fiction of the inherent masculinity of the military, which in its democratizing and homogenizing education is itself a kind of middlebrow institution. I argue that the middlebrow is incredibly dependent on and entangled with print culture, which both dictates and reflects how one ought to act, what one ought to buy, and what one ought to aspire to--and thus the ASEs, as a recreational reading project, both complicated conceptions of the middlebrow as feminine and perpetuated ideas about the American Dream which middlebrow culture ascribes to. The American Dream is a dream of striving and invention, and the middlebrow aesthetic argues that the evolution-of-self that is involved can be bought--can be constructed out of an accumulation of objects, or images, or identities contrived through the purchase of books or commodities. Thus the American Dream and the middlebrow are inextricably linked and mutually constitutive. This discussion necessitates exploration of the literature itself as well as policy, economics, critical gender studies, and memory theory. Although perhaps seemingly disparate pools of data, these areas of information help create a full picture of "Middle(brow) America" as it came to be in the 1950s--a time still shrouded in nostalgia today.

Expectancy violations theory (EVT) addresses the expectations individuals have for the behavior of others and how the violations of these expectations impact communication patterns and relationships. EVT has been applied in mediated contexts to examine how individuals respond to the behavior of celebrities (Cohen, 2010) and characters (Bonus, Matthews, & Wulf, 2019). However, communicator reward valence, an integral part of EVT, has not been specifically examined when applying this interpersonal theory to parasocial relationships. The unique status and contributions of celebrities may impact how violations are evaluated and in turn responded to. The purpose of this study is to further the application of EVT in mediated contexts and propose a potential factor of communicator reward valence specific to relationships with celebrities. Participants (N=231) engaged in an online experiment in which they were randomly assigned to think of a male musical artist that they were either a fan of or felt neutral toward and filled out information about their relationship with this person. At least 48 hours later, they participated in part two of the study and were given a hypothetical scenario regarding the behavior of the celebrity they chose that was more or less severe in nature. They then answered questions about their response to the behavior, their feelings about the perpetrator, and their anticipated future interaction behaviors. As hypothesized, parasocial relationship strength and entertainingness predicted celebrity CRV, as did similarity and attractiveness. CRV, PSR, and entertainingness did not impact violation perceptions consistent with the tenets of EVT. However, violation perceptions did negatively impact future interaction patterns with the celebrity. Implications and future directions for research are discussed.

Regular consumption of dairy is thought to aid in preserving lean body mass while decreasing body fat, however, studies have reported inconsistent results. The overall aim of this cross-sectional study was to examine the influence of dairy consumption on body composition, specifically body fat percentage, among college-aged individuals in Mississippi. Total dairy consumption, type of dairy, and the relationship between race and sex were examined in 580 participants aged 18-26 years. Two-tailed correlation tests revealed a nonsignificant relationship between frequency of dairy consumption and body fat percentage among males, (r = .02, p = .68, n = 98) and females, (r = .06, p = .17, n = 469). There was also a nonsignificant interaction among race categories and dairy consumption. Future studies examining college-aged individuals should be performed with a more diverse sample to see if a relationship exists.

In this first installment of Quandana, we meet young Jane and follow her into her (admittedly overactive) imagination.

The few available comparative studies of prehensile tail anatomy in primates have established that several features of the caudal vertebrae are associated with adaptation to the increased loading of the tail during prehension. Given that the caudal vertebrae are anchored to the sacrum, it stands to reason that sacral morphology should also covary with tail prehensility. Convergent evolution of prehension in ateline and cebine primates and clear variation in the use of tails among taxa raises questions not only of how sacral morphology differs between prehensile and non-prehensile taxa, but whether different prehensile-tailed taxa evolved the same solutions to the biomechanical demands of prehension. The first step in addressing these problems is to document and measure the anatomical correlates of prehension in the sacrum. A comparative study of primate sacra was completed among the following genera: Alouatta, Ateles, Cacajao, Cebus, Chiropotes, Lagothrix, Macaca, Pithecia, and Saimiri (total n = 103). The genera were split into fully-, semi-, and non-prehensile groups; Alouatta, Ateles, and Lagothrix were categorized as fully-prehensile, Cebus as semi-prehensile, and the remainder as non-prehensile. Linear measurements for 16 anatomical variables were analyzed. Univariate and multivariate analyses returned some degree of significant results. While some measurements were more meaningful than others, morphological differences in relative size and transverse expansion of spinous processes, relative size of features associated with postulated muscle attachment, and relative size of articular surfaces of sacral vertebrae exist among individuals of varying prehensility. Thus, basic anatomical correlates of prehension were identified, and questions of morphological adaptation to prehension can be asked.
