Accounting Anthropology & Sociology Biological Science Chemistry Civil & Environmental Engineering Computer Science Earth & Environmental Science Economics & Finance Electrical Engineering English & Foreign Languages History & Philosophy Interdisciplinary Studies Management & Marketing Mathematics Mechanical Engineering Physics Planning & Urban Studies Political Science Psychology Public Administration School of Education School of Hotel, Restaurant, & Tourism School of Naval Architecture & Marine Engineering School of the Arts: Film School of the Arts: Fine Arts School of the Arts: Music School of the Arts: Theatre Accounting E-Central Assessor Ms. Dahlia Daniel Mentor: Cherie Tru mbach November 20 at 10:00-11:30 AM Learning Commons, 1st Floor, #1 02 This product will periodically collect data from each municipal assessor's office, organize, filter and verify the data and then populate an internal proprietary database through API integration or web crawlers. Here, the database will hold the Master Files and be the centralized collection of data from all sources. This data will then be analyzed and reported in a standardized format compatible with an internally managed Geographic Information System (GIS). This allows mapping of attribute data onto geographic layers through a user portal (centralized portal). Customers with a username and password can access the information through mapping and search query functionality. The database will be housed and accessible through third-party server networks, such as Amazon Web Services. The software will be created by a team of developers who will use the Agile methodology to create sprints. This way we will have testable, deliverable products along the way. https://www.uno.edu/innovateuno/abstracts 1/74 11/13/2020 Abstracts | The University of New Orleans This product focuses on providing clear, correct and useful data for commercial real estate property ownership and specific property details to consumers across municipal boundaries and market areas. Some states within the United States, do not require local governing bodies to provide accurate and accessible property ownership and property detail information to the public. The lack of transparent information causes inefficiencies in the free-market process which drive real estate and private-industry businesses. This software will be independent of any professional trade association, real estate brokerage or appraisal company, or municipal government authority. Budgeting for Small Non-Profit Organizations: A Year Long Field Study of Budgeting Techniques for University Organization Miss Chloe Krake Mentor: Gina Rosa November 19 at 2:30-4:00 PM Learning Commons, 1st Floor, #238 The purpose of this thesis is to explore the different styles of budgeting techniques for the Delta Epsilon chapter of Alpha Xi Delta on the University of New Orleans campus. A literature review combined with a calendar year long field study as the Finance and Operations Vice President of the sorority is used to determine the most effective form of budgeting. This study was created to develop an effective budgeting technique for small nonprofit organizations on university campuses. People vs Place Ms. Jessy Mogren with Gaige Hargrave Mentor: Steven Mumford November 19 at 2:30-4:00 PM Learning Commons, 1st Floor, #237 the purpose of our research was to determine if mixed income housing projects under the HUD HOPE VI initiative provide adequate people and place based outcomes for low income residents. Mixed income housing under P3s have become a common tool for urban redevelopment within the US, but the complicated nature of such partnerships has produced varying outcomes in the country. We look at three similar case studies to compare management flaws that contributed to the projects people and place based results. the mismanagement of these projects needs to be addressed to ensure low income residents benefit from HOPE VI redevelopments for years to come. BACK TO FINDER Anthropology & Sociology 2019 Summer Archeological Field School: Exploring the Relevance of Context and Provenience in Excavating Human Remains on a Military Aircraft Crash site Ms. Misty Begnaud Mentor: D. Ryan Gray November 19 at 9:00 AM LIB 407 In July 1944, The United States Army Air Force conducted B17 bombing raids over the German Alps that targeted an aircraft production line in Memmingen, Germany. This past summer, under the direction of University of New Orleans’ associate professor of anthropology Dr. Ryan Gray and, in partnership with the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA), the Anthropology Department hosted an archeological field school focused on excavating an associated crash site in Bavaria and recovering the remains of U.S. Airmen who perished at the site. In this presentation I will briefly review the historical circumstances surrounding the B17 crash. The unique mission of the DPAA prioritizes the expeditious yet thorough recovery of human remains through forensic archeology. Such an emphasis yields nuanced methodologies that differ from standard archeological approaches. In addition to highlighting specific methods and challenges of the DPAA mission, this presentation will illustrate the important role that provenience and historical context plays in accomplishing the objective of identifying location specificity with the highest probability of recovering the remains of long-lost military service members. The Analysis of Data of Animal Remains from the Passebon Cottage https://www.uno.edu/innovateuno/abstracts 2/74 11/13/2020 Abstracts | The University of New Orleans Ms. Skylar McCrea with Ryan Kennedy Mentor: D. Ryan Gray November 19 at 2:30-4:00 PM Learning Commons, 1st Floor, #233 In my research, I examine animal remains recovered from a midden deposit at the Passebon Cottage site (16OR142), an archaeological site in Tremé. Passebon Cottage served as a local store in the late 19th century, and the site is the subject of ongoing research by Dr. Ryan Gray of the University of New Orleans. The identified skeletal remains include a variety of mammals, birds, and fish, including common domestic species like pigs and cattle as well as a range of wild animals from local environments. The data I collected give insight into the kinds of animal products that were sold at this site in the 19th century, as well as the kinds of animals that were frequently consumed in this area at the time. These remains also give evidence about domestic and wild animals that were possibly living on or near this site, including rabbits and birds. I discuss what the data I collected tell us about 19th-century food practices and food supply in Tremé, and I suggest further analyses that can give additional insights into the local economy at the time and what meats were being imported from other places and what was raised or hunted locally. How Chefs of Color Are Represented in the Media Ms. Dorian Reardon Mentor: David Beriss November 19 at 9:15 AM LIB 407 Objectives: To explore how restaurants are spaces where we work out social controversies. To define how race of chefs and cooks in New Orleans dining are represented. To consider if mere representation in media is an acceptable salve when bias and selective narratives paint an inaccurate portrait. To understand how the lens of media perpetuates stereotypes of people of color as opposed to recognizing the innovation and solidarity their white counterparts in the industry have been celebrated for. To discover policy changes that include diversity, representation, and transparency within the restaurant industry and how they are being implemented. Summary: Most chefs that speak for New Orleans cuisine are not racially diverse. This presentation will focus on insights surrounding how chefs of color are represented, how improved national recognition is not equitably reflected in New Orleans, the steps being taken to bridge this gap, and the media-centric narrative that needs to be redefined. Food Norms and Customs in Modern Day Japan and What It Says About the Gender Roles in the United States Ms. Johari Reynolds Mentor: David Beriss November 19 at 2:30-4:00 PM Learning Commons, 1st Floor, #235 Statement of Objectives: To evaluate the purpose of food advertisement. To study the effects of advertisement in social constructionism. To provide insight of how impactful behavioral roles are on advertisement in contemporary society. Advertisement with reference to food indirectly reinforces gender roles in Japan. Roles are often assigned to females and males as a way to predict how they should behave. Gender roles also vary because every culture has a different norm and that causes the assigned gender roles to indirectly regulate members of society. In Japan, food advertisement concerning the assignment of roles within certain genders is not necessarily negative, however, is something to be mindful of when studying food culture in this society as being influential. Gender roles characterize and provide a foundation for the food customs and norms which causes advertisement surrounding food to strengthen certain gender roles in Japan in modern society. Historically and contemporarily, this research focuses on how food in advertisement plays a role in the theory of social constructionism.

  • Simplified Signs
    B Simplifed Signs onvillian Volume 1: Principles, A Manual Sign-Communication System for Special Populations Background, and Application , K Volume 1: Principles, Background, and Application issane John D. Bonvillian, nicole Kissane lee, Tracy T. Dooley, anD Filip T. loncKe l Simplifed Signs presents a system of manual sign communicaton intended for ee Simplifed Signs special populatons who have had limited success mastering spoken or full sign , D languages. It is the culminaton of over twenty years of research and development ooley by the authors. The Simplifed Sign System has been developed and tested for ease of sign comprehension, memorizaton, and formaton by limitng the complexity , of the motor skills required to form each sign, and by ensuring that each sign an visually resembles the meaning it conveys. D l Volume 1 outlines the research underpinning and informing the project, and onc places the Simplifed Sign System in a wider context of sign usage, historically K and by diferent populatons. Volume 2 presents the lexicon of signs, totalling e A Manual Sign-Communication approximately 1000 signs, each with a clear illustraton and a writen descripton of how the sign is formed, as well as a memory aid that connects the sign visually System for Special Populations to the meaning that it conveys. While the Simplifed Sign System originally was developed to meet the needs of s impli persons with intellectual disabilites, cerebral palsy, autsm, or aphasia, it may also assist the communicaton needs of a wider audience – such as healthcare F professionals, aid workers, military personnel , travellers or parents, and children ie D who have not yet mastered spoken language.

  • Strikes on IS in Syria
    SUBSCRIPTION SATURDAY, JULY 25, 2015 SHAWWAL 9, 1436 AH No: 16589 Councilor ‘Drifter’ kills 2, Ronaldo dazzles shocked by himself in US as Real rip cleaners’4 plight cinema rampage7 Man48 City apart Turkey stages first air strikes on IS in Syria Min 32º 150 Fils Max 45º Operations follow deal with US on airbase BEYLERBEYI, Turkey: Turkey yesterday vowed to press on with opera- tions against Islamic State (IS) in Syria and other militant groups, after its war planes bombed the jihadists’ positions for the first time. Following the predawn air raids on the IS targets in Syria, Turkish police arrested almost 300 suspected members of IS and pro-Kurdish militant groups nationwide, in one of Turkey’s biggest recent crackdowns on extremists. Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said that the bombing operation had “100 percent” achieved its goals and had “successfully eliminated the targets” targeted by three Turkish F-16s. The air raids were ordered in the wake of a suicide bombing blamed on IS that killed 32 activists on the Syrian border on Monday and cross-border clashes Thursday that claimed the life of a Turkish soldier. The Turkish war planes dropped their charges while in Turkish air- space and did not enter Syrian airspace, the CNN-Turk television channel reported. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights moni- toring group said nine IS fighters were killed in the attacks and 12 wounded. “Turkey will show the strongest reaction to the slightest movement that threatens it,” Davutoglu said. “The operation against IS reached its target and will not stop,” he added.
