We propose a new method based on the $(k, n)$ threshold secret sharing scheme for images in the compressed and uncompressed domains. Our method generates minimal share sizes with similar computational cost to previous methods, yet it is computationally secure and satisfies the indistinguishability property. In this paper, a cryptanalysis is performed of the previous secret image sharing methods and an improvement is proposed 2013-05-28T00:00:00Z https://hdl.handle.net/10680/440 Give Peace (and Folk Song) a Chance: American Folk Song and the Vietnam Anti-War Movement Chorney, Meagen Folk narrative and folk song are often associated with antiquarian notions of the romanticized country ‘folk’ of times long past. This makes it difficult to conceptualize the folk and their songs in more contemporary, post-industrial societies. If we are to believe Alan Dundes’ assertion that the term folk can be applied to any group of people who share at least one common factor, it would seem to follow that any such group could create folk songs. Despite this, many folklorists still rely on traditional criteria of folk songs such as anonymous authorship and oral transmission. While my intent is not to negate this, I argue that it could and should be expanded. I have used the Vietnam Anti-War movement in America to explore how the idea of ‘authentic’ folk song can be expanded to include popular music taken by a social group to give a communal voice to their movement. 2013-05-21T00:00:00Z https://hdl.handle.net/10680/439 Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT) and Infidelity Genlik, Ken Martin According to Whisman, Dixon and Johnason (1997) affairs/infidelity are the second most damaging problem that couples face and the third most difficult problem to treat. Glass & Wright (1988) argues that 30% of couples seek couple therapy because of infidelity during the course of treatment. Zola (2007) mentions that historically infidelity has been described as extramarital or extra-couple sexual relation that has been perceived as betrayal by a partner. In this paper I use infidelity in the sense that one of the couple has sexually or emotionally violated couple boundaries and bonds. Infidelity is an attachment injury that might lead to trauma in couples secure adult attachment. EFT interventions are helpful because they may repair attachment injuries and help the couple to deal with negative emotional cycles that created infidelity. It also empowers couple’s positive interaction cycles. 2013-05-06T00:00:00Z https://hdl.handle.net/10680/433 Building a Legend: The 'Skinny' on the Slender Man Yarish, Brendon This paper explores folklorist Richard Dorson's distinction between folklore and 'fakelore'—that is, folklore-like material that has been created deliberately and mass-disseminated, often for monetary or ideological purposes. Framed by 'the Slender Man,' a legend-like figure that has been circulating since 2009, the author demonstrates that the distinction between folklore and fakelore is not as clear-cut as it once was, and argues that the digital age may require a shift in folklore terminology. 2013-04-18T00:00:00Z
