The purpose of this study is to present the origin and development of the San Juan Mission in southeastern Utah in its work with Indian people, principally since 1940. One of the responsibilities of the San Juan Mission was to teach the Indian people the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. It is also the purpose of this study to show what has been accomplished in regard to the original call and also determine what remains to be completed. The history of the San Juan Mission has been indexed under the following chapter headings: Introduction to San Juan and the Call of the Mormons to Colonize, Establishing Communities and Relationships among the Indians, San Juan Stake Mission, Albert R. Lyman's School, San Juan Stake Indian Branches, San Juan Area Indian Seminaries.It was found that an enormous amount of time, money and effort was contributed to teaching and assisting the Indian people. It was also discovered that much more needs to be done before the San Juan Mission call fills the demands of the original injunction by Apostle Erastus Snow.

El objetivo de la investigación es establecer la relación entre la autoestima y el juicio moral en 333 alumnos, de las cuales 161 son del género masculino y 172 son del género femenino entre los 14 y 19 años de edad del 5º Año de Secundaria de las Instituciones Educativas Públicas de la RED 11 de la UGEL 05 del distrito de San Juan de Lurigancho de Lima. Los instrumentos utilizados para la investigación fueron el “Programa de Autoestima Escolar” (TAE) de Teresa Marchant, Isabel Haeussler y Alejandra Torretti, y el Cuestionario de “Reflexión Socio Moral” de Gibbs y Widaman, las cuáles pasaron por un análisis psicométrico para determinar la validez y la confiabilidad en un primer momento, luego se procedió a administrarlo previa coordinación con las autoridades correspondientes en de las Instituciones Educativas Públicas. En cuanto a los resultados estas arrojaron la existencia de relación entre las áreas de la autoestima y el juicio moral en general, así como la no existencia de diferencias significativas de acuerdo al género y la edad. Las conclusiones nos demuestra la no existencia de correlaciones significativas entre las áreas de la autoestima y el juicio moral de acuerdo al género y la edad; mientras que existen diferencias en la Autoestima General en función al género, más no existen en función a la edad y en el juicio moral en función al género y la edad tampoco no existen diferencias. Palabras clave: Juicio moral y autoestima / The research objetive is to establish realación between self – esteem and moral judgments in 333 students, of which 161 are male and 172 were women between 14 and 19 years of age High School 5to. Año Publics educational institutions of the RED 11 UGEL 05 of the district of San Juan de Lurigancho of Lima. The instruments used for research were the “School Self – Esteem Program” (TAE) of Teresa Marchant, Isabel Haeussler and Alejandra Torretti, and the questtionnaire “Socio Moral reflection” of Gibbs y Widaman, which underwent a psychometric analysis to determine the validity and reliability at firts, and then proceeded to administer after coordination with the authorities of correespondietes Publics educational institutions. Regarding these results yielded the existence of a relationship between the areas of self-esteem and moral judgments in general as well as non-significant differences according to gender and age. The findings shows that there is no significant correlation between the areas of self – esteem and moral judgments according to gender and age, while there are differences in general self-esteem according to gender, there are more according to age and moral judgments according to gender and age differences also exist. Keywords: Moral judgments and sel-esteem.

Also found significant differences in emotional intelligence according to sex, and ultimately positive and significant relationship between the dimensions of emotional intelligence and leadership assessment.

As an important part of our lives, stories help us to form both our personal identities and the identities of the social groups that make up our society. They facilitate us to be in contact with our beliefs, our feelings, our knowledge, our perception, and what is significant to us. Similarly, we understand those very things from the stories of others. These stories are obtained through different ways: family, friends, literature, poetry, religion, teachers, movies, art, and so on. Through these, our culture is born and sustained. There is no doubt that architecture is an important defining element of our culture. For that reason, we must decisively evaluate its essential role in the communication of these stories. Being more than just the planning, design and construction of a building, the architecture design process involves the manipulation of mass, space, volume, texture, light, shadow, materials, program, and other elements in order to achieve an end which is aesthetic as well as functional, and if taken further architecture can be experienced through the senses. When thinking about what architecture involves, I have to ask myself a question, can architecture take a more dynamic role in the transmission of our culture; generally, symbolically, and more particularly, by encouraging and reinforcing the dissemination of stories? In our modern-day western built-environment, museums have taken a most active role programmatically in the transmission of our culture and stories. My thesis will focus on this building type. During the last 30 years, museums have experienced a change from presenting real things to the creation of experiences. In essence, exhibitions have transitioned from object-oriented to story-centered. How can architecture better provide this recently modified museum experience? Furthermore, what can architecture do to push this focus even further so that people are better able to absorb these stories and experiences? Before attempting to answer these questions however, I must explain how my thesis question will be explored in actual terms. Consequently, I will investigate how the architecture of a museum can further activate, reinforce, and promote a set of stories important to our culture and country as a whole. My thesis project will be a museum that portrays the sequence of events and cultural history of Puerto Rico. With this in mind, I would like to explore an effective method to convey and inform people about who we are and where we come from. All the elements that had contributed to its creation give this culture the distinctive attributes to set it as the perfect model to use architecture as the tool that will disseminate our cultural history. Given the fact that it is very compelling for people to learn through visualization, the creation of a museum that reflects the Puerto Rican culture would be an outstanding tool to educate people. However, instead of designing a museum that merely houses artifacts, I want to create a museum that tells a story about about Puerto Rico's past and present.

In the past few decades, wildfires have increased in size and severity in the Southwest and across the western US. These recent trends in fire behavior are a drastic change in arid, ponderosa pine and mixed conifer forests of the Southwest compared with tree-ring records of fire history for the past ~ 400 years. This study presents a late Holocene record (~ 3,000 years) of fire history and related changes in fire regimes with climate variability over annual to multi-decadal time scales. Tree-ring and alluvial-sediment sampling sites were paired in four small, tributary basins located in the western San Juan Mountains of Colorado. In our study sites, tree-ring records show that fire return intervals were longer and fire behavior was more severe on the north-facing slopes with relatively dense mixed conifer stands. Increased fire barriers and steep topography decreased the fire frequency and extent relative to gentle terrain elsewhere in the range and leading to a lack of synchrony among fire years in different parts of the study area. The alluvial-sediment record showed four peaks in high-severity fire activity over the past 3,000 years ranging between 200 - 400 years in length. The timing of peaks coincided with decadal-length drought episodes and were often preceded by multiple decades of above average winter precipitation. The sampling of alluvial-sediment and tree-ring data allowed for site-level comparisons between recent alluvial deposits and specific fire years interpreted from the tree-ring records. We found good correspondence between the type of fire-related sediment deposit (i.e. geomorphic response) in the alluvial record and the extent of mixed and high-severity fire estimated from the tree-ring record, and the correspondence was well-supported by the debris flow probability model results. The two paleofire data tend to represent particular components of the historical fire regime, with alluvial-sediments biased towards infrequent, high-severity events during recent millennia, and the tree-ring record biased toward lower severity fires during recent centuries. The combined analyses of different paleofire proxy types in the same study sites, therefore, can enhance and expand our understanding of fire and climate history beyond what is possible with either proxy alone.

Historical events are framed by the actors of the time and then re-framed by subsequent historians and the public. This thesis examines the historiography of the San Juan Island Dispute, 1853-1871, known colloquially in the twentieth century as the “Pig War.” In 1859, after an American settler on San Juan shot a pig owned by the Hudson’s Bay Company, the American military and the British Royal Navy met in a tense stand-off resulting in a twelve year joint-military occupation of the island. This conflict was the last border dispute between the two nations. Following World War II, a message of peace became the dominant trope of histories written about the “Pig War.” The term itself has come to represent this overarching theme. With documents from the dispute, such as colonial despatches, official correspondence and newspaper editorials, this thesis considers how the event was framed at the time; and employing semiotics as a technique for discourse analysis, it examines how the “war” was re-framed in the twentieth century. The thesis follows Alfred Young’s research on antebellum America’s commemoration of the “Boston Tea Party,” with its message appropriated by politicians, merging history and myth. The “Pig War” occupies similar terrain as the reconceptualization of the event embodies its own message of a unique identity for the Pacific Northwest, associated with the 49th parallel as the world’s longest, most peaceful, “undefended” border. / Graduate / 2015-04-26 / 0578 / 0334 / 0337 / lyallg@uvic.ca
