Post Mission, Red Teaming The Details Of The Devil., Carter Matherly

Carter Matherly PhD

Red Teaming is an analytical process that will reduce threat by identifying previously unobserved or unrecognized threats through visualization of the battlefield from the enemy’s point of view, via synthesization of the enemies’ decision making processes while removing relatively common analytical bias and perceptions. Despite the invaluable data these teams are able to produce there is little guidance available to assist Red teams in exploiting their gained knowledge of threats. This has ultimately led to these teams being under employed as simple OPFOR (opposing forces) with little thought to post mission analysis or applications. Could a post mission analytical review …

The Effect Of Languaging On Korean Students' L2 Learning Motivation: A Classroom-Based Mixed Methods Approach, Tae-Young Kim

Dr. Tae-Young Kim (김태영, 金兌英)

This paper focuses on the effect of languaging activity on students' L2 learning motivation. Swain (2006, p. 98) defines languaging as "the process of making meaning and shaping knowledge and experience through language." To date, most of languaging research investigated its impact on L2 learners' cognition. I endeavor to extend its original notion to the domain of motivation. Based on Dörnyei's (2009) L2 Motivational Self-System, the effect of languaging on students' L2 selves and their teachers' reflection will be investigated in this paper.

In Spring 2012, three English teachers implemented four different languaging conditions for their students: 1) written languaging …

An Activity Theory Analysis Of Second Language Motivational Self-System: Two Korean Immigrants' Esl Learning, Tae-Young Kim

Dr. Tae-Young Kim (김태영, 金兌英)

This paper analyzes two recent Korean immigrants’ ESL learning motivation using Dörnyei’s (2009) Second Language (L2) Motivational Self-System, which is synthesized with Engeström’s (1999) Activity Theory (AT) framework. Over a ten month period, the author conducted semi-structured monthly interviews and stimulated recall tasks. The findings of this case study suggest the following: 1) when sociocultural factors are mediated by L2 learners’ beliefs, these factors may directly influence learners’ ideal L2 self and ought-to L2 self; 2) learners’ sensitivity with inclusive attitudes can transform the L2 learning environment into meaningful affordances; and 3) if there is no tension among elements in …

Curating The Ethnographic Moment, Andrew D. Asher, Lori M. Jahnke

Andrew Asher

Digital technologies have vastly increased the volume of materials that ethnographic researchers are able to collect. They have also enhanced possibilities for rapidly sharing data not only with other researchers, but also with research subjects and the public at large. However, the relative ease of collecting digital materials can quickly outpace the data management skills of researchers, who usually have little or no training in recordkeeping, preservation, or curation strategies. Making digital data available online can also compound ethical dilemmas faced by ethnographers, who often find themselves torn between contradictory imperatives to share data publically and to protect the privacy …

Marginal Versus Average Effective Tax Rates And Foreign Direct Investment, Matt Krzepkowski

Matt Krzepkowski

This paper investigates the influence of two types of calculated effective tax rates on foreign direct investment inflows. I take advantage of the fact the average effective tax rate can be decomposed of as a weighted average of the statutory corporate income tax rate and the marginal effective tax rate to identify which tax affects investment inflows. Using a calculated marginal effective tax rate for a diverse set of 80 countries from 2005-2009, the paper shows that taxes other than the statutory tax rate have a strong effect on encouraging foreign investment. Separating out components of the marginal and average …

“100% Authentic Pittsburgh”: Sociolinguistic Authenticity And The Linguistics Of Particularity, Barbara Johnstone

Barbara Johnstone

As Bucholtz (2003), Coupland (2007, pp. 25-26), and others have pointed out, what counts as an authentic linguistic variety or an authentic speaker depends on who is counting and why. Sociolinguists have often unthinkingly privileged as their object of study the most unselfconsious, “vernacular” speech in relatively closed, homogeneous communities like traditional working-class neighborhoods, with their dense, multiplex social networks, and in the relatively self-contained symbolic economies of schools. This has allowed us to explore social correlates of variation and processes of change in communities where these things appear least muddied by outside influences, and doing so has given us …

Spread And Backwash Effects For Non-Metropolitan Communities In The U.S., Joanna Ganning, Kathy Baylis, Bumsoo Lee

Kathy Baylis

Few studies empirically estimate the effects of metropolitan growth on non-metropolitan communities at a national scale. This paper estimates the growth effects of 276 MSAs on population in 1,988 non-metropolitan communities in the United States from 2000-2007. We estimate the distance for growth spillovers from MSAs to non-metropolitan communities and test the assumption that a single MSA influences growth. We compare three methods of weighting cities’ influence: nearest city only, inverse-distance and relative commuting flow to multiple cities. We find the inverse-distance approach provides slightly more reliable and theoretically supportable results than the traditional nearest city approach.

An Assessment Of The Relationship Between Rainfall Variability And Rice Production In Bida And Its Environs, K Dangana, L H. Muhammed

Abuja Journal of Geography and Development

The study assessed the relationship between rainfall variability and rice production in Bida and its environs. Primary data for this research was weather record of the area obtained from National Cereal Research Institute Badeggi,Bida and direct oral interview with the rice farmers on rice yield for period of 10 years. Observations were taking across rice farms in 10 villages, and relevant literature on rainfall variability of the study area was consulted. The result indicates that 7.7 % of rainfall variability led to a great lost of 34.7 %; indicating that changing pattern of rainfall affects rice production. The resultant low …

Dark Tourism Scholarship: A Critical Review, Philip Stone Dr

Dr Philip Stone

Commonly referred to as dark tourism or thanatourism, the act of touristic travel to sites of or sites associated with death and disaster has gained significant attention with media imaginations and academic scholarship. However, despite a growing body of literature on the representation and tourist experience of deathscapes within the visitor economy, dark tourism as a field of study is still very much in its infancy. Moreover, questions remain of the academic origins of the dark tourism concept as well as its contribution to the broader social scientific study of tourism and death education. Thus, the purpose of my invited …
