Hi, everyone! My name is Nate - I'm a UI/UX student looking to develop an app for pet owners. ^-^/ We're looking to collect data on the struggles that pet owners face and where the main pain points of pet ownership are! This survey should take no more than 5 minutes, and if you're willing to participate in an interview afterwards, I would be most appreciated!

Please reblog so I can get some good data!

Maurice and Me

Sunday, 26 November 2023

In reading “Mutually Exclusive: Being Gay and Being a Man in E.M. Forster’s Maurice” by Kimber Foreman (https://scholar.umw.edu/student_research/469/), I think I’ve gained an insight as to why this book resonated with me so much.

In Maurice by E. M. Forster, the title character struggles with being gay in Edwardian England. Being gay is a social impossibility, as men are supposed to be masculine and masculinity means heterosexual. This is the only normal way to be, and Maurice is assured by those whom he consults to cure him that he’s perfectly normal and, therefore, not gay.

Growing up, I felt that I was not anything but a normal person. Sure, I had different tastes in music and entertainment than my peers, but that didn’t make me abnormal. No. Being bisexual or otherwise bending gender roles was something the Decidedly Not Normal did. People like Boy George or Prince. Not me.

Oh, boy.

I didn't think I could possibly be queer. I was just a normal boy whose political ideas tended toward feminism. And, why not? Girls and women seemed less violent than boys and men, and I lacked the ability or interest in aggression.

Perhaps being queer, transgender, and Catholic during the Reagan regime wasn’t so different from being a gay man in Edwardian England.

Term Paper: Mortuary Practices in the Symbolic Culture of Neanderthals

Abstract: The significance of burial rituals for Homo neanderthalensis throughout their time on Earth attests to a rich symbolic culture and a cognitive capacity for social organization and connectedness, yet a sparse fossil record restricts comprehensive understanding of behavioral processes driving both unique and widespread interment techniques.

From pinpointing the advent of intentional burials, to finding distinct patterns within chronological and population groupings, there are no easy answers to the questions posed by available literature. Examining funerary site features alongside constructs such as symbolic culture, sociality, and modernity requires a reinterpretation of models rooted in our own species’ characteristics.

Nevertheless, it is clear that Neanderthals shared a complexity akin to that of early Homo sapiens, and future findings will only enhance our understanding of their advanced connection to the environment and peoples around them.

Howdy gamers

I've been working on a research team looking into attitudes surrounding sustainability for about 6 months, and it would mean the world to me if y'all would take our survey and send it to as many people as you can! Only requirement is you must be over 18, but if you can't take it, share it!

Reblog to expand sample size (literally)!!!!

The Dodo bird isn't pronounced /ˈdōˌdō/

This is actually a myth that was spread by people who weren't living during the time these birds still roamed the earth.

The Dutch captain, Willem van Westsanen, was the first to actually call the bird, 'dodo'. The bird's original name was 'walgvogel'- Dutch that translates to 'ugly bird'. The punishment fits the crime.

I have found out that dodo is pronounced /dŏd,ō/.

Every syllable of every word must have at least one vowel sound. A vowel can stand alone in a syllable, as in u•nit and an•i•mal. The long sound can be in the middle of the word in a different syllable than another vowel, but it has to fit certain criteria for this to happen like for example being in a vowel team- or the silent e rule.

Dutch words make different sounds than English words. The two words apple – appel sound (basically)the same because we have different rules. Here's an example with an animal- deer in Dutch is hert, it's a completely different word. In theory the word dodo could be pronounced in a completely different way if we translate it into English.

That being said, /dŏd,ō/ is the only possible answer to the question of how we should pronounce it. It cannot be /d,ōdō/ for one cannot have a syllable without a vowel (excluding onomatopoeias those don't listen to the rules). /ˈdōˌdō/ isn't correct either because /dŏd,ō/ is better. That might sound nonsensical, but I will assure you that type of thing happens all the time. Nuclear is often mispronounced as 'nuke-you-lerr' or 'Nu-cu-lar'- these being the widely used pronunciations are incorrect. The correct pronunciation is 'NEW-clee-er' this is because it's just better.

Although I have researched this very thoroughly, and have provided some sound evidence, I see that you might not be convinced that /dŏd,ō/ is the correct way to pronounce the word dodo. One last thing before I close, if we all started saying dodo like this it'd be really funny.

Thank you for taking your time to read this.

Resources are under the cut.

A Look into Gender Studies at NCF: What interdisciplinary research looks like

Gender Studies has long solidified itself as a pertinent field of study in universities, having emerged in the 1970s from Women’s Studies. Gender Studies was established at New College in 1995 and “draws on curricula across the campus (and beyond) to introduce students to the complex focal problem of ‘gender,’” according to the official New College webpage. A spotlight is in order to highlight…

Searching best practices on JSTOR

Hi Tumblr researchers,

As promised, we're going to dive into some best practices for searching on JSTOR. This'll be a long one!

The first thing to note is that JSTOR is not Google, so searches should not be conducted in the same way.

More on that in this video:

youtube

Basic Search on JSTOR

To search for exact phrases, enclose the words within quotation marks, like "to be or not to be".

To construct a more effective search, utilize Boolean operators, such as "tea trade" AND china.

youtube

Advanced Searching on JSTOR

Utilize the drop-down menus to refine your search parameters, limiting them to the title, author, abstract, or caption text.

Combine search terms using Boolean operators like AND/OR/NOT and NEAR 5/10/25. The NEAR operator finds keyword combinations within 5, 10, or 25 words of each other. It applies only when searching for single keyword combinations, such as "cat NEAR 5 dog," but not for phrases like "domesticated cat" NEAR 5 dog.

Utilize the "Narrow by" options to search for articles exclusively, include/exclude book reviews, narrow your search to a specific time frame or language.

To focus your article search on specific disciplines and titles, select the appropriate checkboxes. Please note that discipline searching is currently limited to journal content, excluding ebooks from the search.

youtube

Finding Content You Have Access To

To discover downloadable articles, chapters, and pamphlets for reading, you have the option to narrow down your search to accessible content. Simply navigate to the Advanced Search page and locate the "Select an access type" feature, which offers the following choices:

All Content will show you all of the relevant search results on JSTOR, regardless of whether or not you can access it.

Content I can access will show you content you can download or read online. This will include Early Journal Content and journals/books publishers have made freely available.

Once you've refined your search, simply select an option that aligns with your needs and discover the most relevant items. Additionally, you have the option to further narrow down your search results after conducting an initial search. Look for this option located below the "access type" checkbox, situated at the bottom left-hand side of the page.

Additional resources

For more search recommendations, feel free to explore this page on JSTOR searching. There, you will find information on truncation, wildcards, and proximity, using fields, and metadata hyperlinks.

AU where jason todd goes back to school and gets a phd because while he was describing his multi-step plan to take over gotham and use bruce to kill the joker to talia she just said “oh, so you want to become a useless dropout just like your brother and father? talk about setting a bad example for damian.” which offended jason so much that he immediately re-enrolled to finish high school.

im shaking every single student organizer and screaming that they need to separate a demand to divest from arms funding from the demand for a university to cut off all contact with Israeli and Israeli-American scholars and students, a demand which no university will agree to because implementing it would in many cases be very illegal

#We’re not talking about personal ethics or whatever or strategy #We’re talking about the fact that discriminating against people based on ethnic origin nationality or passport is in fact a complete #Violation of almost any especially state universities legal code of conduct #And if they did that they could get sued. BY those same lefty legal aid organizations #Not to mention that in practice it would mean blockinf a bunch of researchers or students who are (by American standards) people of color #Pleaaaaase separate your radical demands from this!

Dear college students,

I really hope that I, your spinster aunt of Tumblr, am not the first person to tell you this, but: please use your university library services. You are paying for them. They are there for you. Moreover, your professors are operating on the assumption that you will use them as necessary.

When I say "library services" I mean not only physical books that will help you with research, but the usually more extensive eBook collections ditto. Novels you've been meaning to get around to and can't afford to buy. Even (quaintly?) DVDs for your entertainment. And perhaps most significantly of all, interlibrary loan.

I'm going to reiterate interlibrary loan in its own paragraph because a student complained to me recently that publishers were "literally incentivizing piracy" by not pricing academic monographs for purchase by college students and my reaction is best summed up as: ????? Publishers typically price scholarly monographs in the pious hope of not losing money on them. Everyone complains about the ones priced at $300, and a lot of them are priced around $30-50. They are priced for purchase by libraries and specialists. And they are priced for purchase by libraries precisely so that libraries can make them accessible to college students. Anyway, use interlibrary loan, good grief.

TL;DR: the library is there for you, that is what it is for, please behave accordingly.

#spinster aunt of tumblr #libraries #academic libraries #studyblr #college #also i took my survey class to the library this week and none of them had heard of boolean operators #did they all miss fourth grade #and sixth grade #and then never get asked to write a research paper ever #i am baffled #this particular student didn't want to pay more than $10 for a book but that's a different issue

2024.04.10 | Day 81/100 days of productivity

Slept in today and that extra sleep seems to have made all the difference to my mood and energy levels (who knew!). I'm hoping to get done with my decision analysis final essay either today or tomorrow so I can edit and move on to my research proposal for qualitative methods (and eventually get back to the research - which I actually enjoy (no offence to my professors)).

Today's goals:

Drink water (2/3)

Finish readings for tomorrow

Finish first draft of decision analysis final essay

Have a good formal dinner :)

Do at least 1 load of laundry

Get enough sleep
