As television must always create its spaces and places on the screen, what, then, is the significance of the varying emphases as well as the commonalities constructed in televisual high school settings in UK, US, and Japanese television shows? This master’s thesis considers how fictional televisual high schools both contest and construct national identity. In order to do this, it posits the existence of the televisual school story, a descendant of the literary school story. It then compares the formal and narrative ways in which Glee (2009-2015), Hex (2004-2005), and Ouran koukou hosutobu (2006) deploy space and place to create identity on the screen. In particular, it examines how heteronormativity and gender roles affect the abilities of characters to move through spaces, across boundaries, and gain secure places of their own. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS Abstract ii Table of Contents iii Acknowledgement v Introduction Orientation 1 Space and Place in Schools 5 Schools on TV 11 Schools on TV from Japan, 12 the U.S., and the U.K.

  • Evaluation of Medicaid Medical Homes for Pregnant Women in Southeast Wisconsin
    Evaluation of Medicaid Medical Homes for Pregnant Women in Southeast Wisconsin Final Report Submitted to the Wisconsin Department of Health Services Revised March 2016 Donna Friedsam, MPH, Researcher and Project Manager Lindsey Leininger, PhD, Principal Investigator Kristen Voskuil, MA, Associate Researcher UW Population Health Institute DHS Medicaid OB Medical Home Evaluation Executive Summary This study evaluates a pilot program, launched by the Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) in January 2011, which enrolls high-risk pregnant women in Southeast Wisconsin into a medical home model. The intervention is characterized by more intensive service than standard prenatal care, including comprehensive assessments, care coordination, home visiting, and other non-clinical supports. Clinics agreeing to serve as medical homes and participate in the pilot initiative receive additional payments (above the Medicaid payments for prenatal care and delivery) as well as a bonus payment for positive birth outcomes as defined by DHS. Research Goal: To determine if the medical home model is effective in improving birth outcomes among BadgerCare Plus (Medicaid)-enrolled high-risk women in Southeast Wisconsin. Objectives/Specific Aims 1. Measure participating clinics against: a) their individual benchmark measures for the process of prenatal and postpartum care, b) fidelity of implementing the contractual parameters and other attributes of the medical home pilots, and c) how the clinic intervention differs from pre-program standard care. 2.

Kurt Hummel’s Language Features in Glee Television Series Season 1: A Sociolinguistic Analysis. Yogyakarta: English Language Education Study Program, Sanata Dharma University. The use of language by individuals is influenced by many factors. Gender is one factor that influences the use of language. In this research, gender is seen to be different from sex. It is seen as a social construction rather than as a fixed category. As a result, women and men do not stick to one language style but change it based on their social context. Therefore, the researcher was interested in analyzing the women’s language used by a feminine man named Kurt Hummel in Glee Television Series Season 1. In conducting the research, a research question was formulated: What women’s language features does Kurt Hummel use in his speech in Glee Television Series Season 1? The research was qualitative research in which discourse analysis was employed to analyze the data.

Specifically, my research examines how risk and protective factors at multiple ecological levels, including family, peer, school, and community, interact to predict children’s developmental outcomes. This basic research forms the basis for the development of effective family and school-based prevention programs aimed at promoting healthy development. Once a prevention program has been proven effective, the ultimate goal is widespread dissemination and scale-up, and therefore my research also focuses on the identification and examination of the program, organizational, and community barriers which hinder the successful delivery of preventive interventions under natural conditions.
