Abstract.

The issue of how much government regulation of an individual''s personal life is acceptable has been fervently debated within the liberal democracy of the United States (U.S.) since its inception in 1776. The thesis researches past and current policy, legislation, and law with stated paternalistic intent related to plural marriage, firearm storage, and abortion restriction and determines if such state-sanctioned actions are practical and justifiable. The thesis also offers legitimate paternalistic solutions to issues surrounding plural marriages, firearm storage, and abortion restriction in the U.S. The thesis concludes that carefully designed policy, legislation, and law that is justly implemented will have a positive effect not only on the targeted individual but U.S. society as a whole.

Abstract: Frederick W. Kasch, Ph. D. was a pioneer in a number of fields during his career in the Department of Physical Education at San Diego State University (SDSU). First, he founded the first Adult Fitness-Cardiac Rehabilitation Program where the participants exercised in a group format. That program became a model for university-based programs across the country. Second, he pioneered research that demonstrated the benefits of long-term, endurance exercise training on the cardiovascular system in healthy adult men. Additionally, he was one of the first to show the therapeutic effect of endurance exercise training for patients with hypertension and patients with heart disease. Third, he created new courses, and new laboratory and field "hands on" experiences for Physical Education graduate students at SDSU who had an interest exercise physiology, in general, and adult fitness, in particular. Dr. Kasch''s pioneering work lives on in the careers of many of his former students.

This project has come about because of the need for Australian saxophonists to develop an awareness of saxophone history and culture in their own country. Dulcie Holland, William Lovelock and Margaret Sutherland were artists who were active and influential in the areas of performance, composition and pedagogy, helping to create and promote the musical arts in Australia during the first half of the twentieth century. The high regard in which they are held should be evidence enough that their works for saxophone must be performed by their fellow Australians as a part of a well rounded, international exposure to the very best repertoire available. Saxophonists in Australia will be able to place themselves in a relevant world context only when they are fully aware of the heritage their instrument has in their own country. The present editions (created using the type-setting software Sibelius 4) seek to make performance considerably easier by eliminating the need to use the composer''s autograph manuscripts, which are sometimes difficult to read and understand, due to poor hand-copying or repeated photocopying which has subsequently made some pages illegible. The accompanying performance guides are designed as introductions, the first step for the young student wishing to tackle these national treasures.

Postsecondary institutions are working to remedy campus race relations. Although initiatives from course requirements to diversity offices have been implemented, racialized disparities remain a pressing concern. The online domain has also challenged institutions to consider what responsibility campuses have in the racial climate experiences of students'' web-based interactions. This dissertation study therefore examines whether diversity work has created institutional change and positively shaped the campus experience for racially diverse students. Drawing upon critical race theories in education, I conducted a qualitative phenomenological study to explore how undergraduates make sense of their contemporary campus racial climate experiences in relation to their perceptions about their institution''s historical legacies of racism. Data collection methods included textual analysis of campus artifacts, video-elicited focus groups, semi-structured walking interviews, and ethnographic observations of 12 undergraduate students attending the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). Three findings emerged from the study. First, minoritized students negotiate their online experiences with a greater sense of autonomy to avoid racial hostility. Their on-campus experiences, in contrast, are often fixed by uncontrollable circumstances such as required courses taught by racially insensitive instructors. Second, Students of Color identified direct parallels between their contemporary experiences and the racialized ideologies behind past racial incidents at UCLA. They noted, for example, how stereotypes used in the YouTube video "Asians in the Library" (2011) were consistent with how their contemporary peers envision Asian and Asian American students as the "model minority." Third, despite UCLA''s public history of racial incidents, participants came to their studies believing UCLA would be a "dream"-like escape from their racialized pasts. Their individual encounters with racial microaggressions from peers and instructors marked the beginning of their idyllic expectations of UCLA to fade away. Participants'' experiences demonstrate, despite advertised institutional investments in diversity over time, little substantive improvements have occurred within their campus'' racial climate. Findings have implications for how administrators and practitioners work to better serve the needs of racially diverse students. Moreover, this study contributes to methodological practice by situating social media texts as elicitation devices to nuance the study of campus racial climate within contemporary digital cultures.

Digital initiatives often suffer from poor governance when it comes to providing structure and governance to digital transformation projects, from finding alignment between business processes to assigning ownership for change efforts. Executives need to rethink their governance approach for digital transformation in a way that prioritizes active enablement over control. Seven key governing principles linked to successful digital business transformation can help.

The self-healing performance of the elastomer is also investigated under torsional fatigue loading. The microcapsule-based self-healing PDMS is capable of recovering a significant portion of the original torsional stiffness and retards dynamic crack growth rate. Depending on the matrix material, a nearly complete recovery of the original torsional stiffness is possible.
