Seeking Alternatives To High-Cost Textbooks: A Case Study Of The Umass Amherst Open Education Initiative, Marilyn S. Billings
Marilyn S. Billings
The high cost and lack of availability of commercial print textbooks is a major concern to both students and their parents. To address these concerns, the Provost's Office and the University Libraries of the University of Massachusetts Amherst launched the Open Education Initiative in the Spring of 2011, having saved over $1 million to date. This model has an implementation strategy that is easy for others to adopt.

Do Expected Marginal Revenue Products For National Hockey League Players Equal Their Price In Daily Fantasy Games?, Benjamin Goldman
Do Expected Marginal Revenue Products For National Hockey League Players Equal Their Price In Daily Fantasy Games?, Benjamin Goldman
Award Winning Economics Papers
The equality between wages and marginal revenue products is a backbone of competitive labor markets. This study will seek to test the congruity between the two in the market for players in daily fantasy hockey games. Any observed and statistically significant incongruity would lead to the conclusion that an individual can earn long run profit playing daily fantasy games. Both fixed effects and pooled regressions are employed to isolate inequalities between prices and expected marginal revenue products for players in daily fantasy hockey games. Any deviation of such could potentially be explained by utility maximizing gamblers or incomplete information. Robust …

Emotional Intelligence As A Correlate Of School Library Media Centre Service Delivery In Federal Government Colleges In Nigeria, Johnson A. Akerele
Emotional Intelligence As A Correlate Of School Library Media Centre Service Delivery In Federal Government Colleges In Nigeria, Johnson A. Akerele
Library Philosophy and Practice (e-journal)
ABSTRACT
School library media centre (SLMC) is a very important unit of the school which can help to achieve desirable educational goals. However, poor service delivery occasioned by emotional intelligence has been a major setbacks militating against such realisation. The study, therefore, investigated the extent to which school library media specialists (SLMSs) emotional intelligence predict service delivery in SLMCs of federal government colleges in Nigeria. The descriptive research design was adopted in the study. The multi-stage sampling was used to select 48 SLMCs from 16 federal government colleges in four out of the six geopolitical zones in Nigeria. The instrument …

Library Philosophy and Practice (e-journal)
Abstract
The relevance of academic library to people outside the academic setting needs to be redefined because of restrictions and non inclusion of their information needs in collection development policy. The study therefore evaluated town-gown relationship in Ondo State Nigeria with direct cognisance to assessment of Community Information Services (CISs) by academic libraries. Complete enumeration sampling technique was adopted to distribute questionnaires to all 58 librarians working in academic libraries in the State. 52 questionnaires were returned and found useful. The response rate was therefore 89.7%. The study found that CISs were being rendered mainly to scholars who visited the …
Negotiating Muslim Womanhood: The Adaptation Strategies Of International Students At Two American Public Colleges, Amber Michelle Gregory
Negotiating Muslim Womanhood: The Adaptation Strategies Of International Students At Two American Public Colleges, Amber Michelle Gregory
USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations
From a Western perspective, North Americans and Western Europeans perceive Muslim women as being oppressed (Andrea 2009; Lutz 1997, 96; Ozyurt 2013). Led by this assumption, some view studying abroad as an international student as an experience that allows Muslim women the opportunity to "escape" this supposed oppression and to know "freedom" in the U.S. However, Muslim women's experiences are more dynamic and complex than this dualism suggests. In this thesis, I explore adaptation strategies of Muslim women international students, and how gender, race, and religion affect their experiences while abroad. Furthermore, I explore the women's use of emotion management …

Economic Impacts Of Terrorist Attacks And Natural Disasters: Case Studies Of Los Angeles And Houston, Qisheng Pan, Peter Gordon, James Moore, Harry Richardson
Qisheng Pan
Large metropolitan regions are vulnerable to terrorist attacks and natural disasters. Ports and downtown business districts could be targets of terrorist attacks and are also prone to substantial losses from natural disasters like earthquakes or hurricanes. It is important for stakeholders and decision makers to be aware of the spatial distribution of these losses and recognize the potential economic losses from various hypothetical terrorist attacks and natural disasters on these crucial facilities and core sites. The Southern California Planning Model (SCPM), a GIS-based regional planning model developed initially for the five-county Los Angeles metropolitan area, is capable of endogenizing freight …

The Costs Of A Terrorist Attack On Terminal Island At The Twin Ports Of Los Angeles And Long Beach, Peter Gordon, James Moore, Harry Richardson, Qisheng Pan
Qisheng Pan
This study is part of a research program to apply the Southern California Planning Model (SCPM) and similar economic impact models to estimate the economic losses from hypothetical but plausible terrorist attacks on various key infrastructure installations and other important sites.
This chapter we explore another dimension of potential terrorist attacks on the region's ports.

The Los Angeles metropolitan region is a prime target for a terrorist attack. There are many specific targets: The Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), downtown high-rises, its theme parks, its freeways, and its ports, among many others. We have developed a spatially disaggregated economic impact model that can evaluate all of these and any other plausible attacks. In this paper, we estimate the economic impacts of an attack on the Los Angeles- Long Beach Twin Ports.

Tourism And Terrorism: The National And Interregional Economic Impacts Of Attacks On Major U.S. Theme Parks, Peter Gordon, Harry Richardson, James Moore, Ji Young Park, Sooung Kim, Qisheng Pan
Qisheng Pan
This paper is one of a series of studies by our group on the economic impact of a variety of terrorist attacks in the United States. These studies use either or both of two economic impact models, SCPM (the Southern California Planning Model) and NIEMO (the National Interstate Economic Model). This research uses only the latter model and traces the interregional economic effects of attacks on major theme parks (13, including two clusters) located in a modest number of States (eight). The theme parks are identified by State but not by metropolitan area to mask specific identity. It is important …

The Relative Attenuation Of Self-Stimulation, Eating And Drinking Produced By Dopamine-Receptor Blockade, E. T. Rolls, B. J. Rolls, P. H. Kelly, S. G. Shaw, R. J. Wood, Robert H.I. Dale
Robert H. I. Dale
Spiroperidol, which blocks dopamine (DA) receptors, attenuated self-stimulation of the nucleus accumbens, septal area, hippocampus, anterior hypothalamus and ventral tegmental area. Dopamine is thus involved in self-stimulation of many sites (in addition to the lateral hypothalamus). The attenuation was not a simple motor impairment of the speed of bar-pressing in that the nucleus accumbens and septal self-stimulation rates were lower than those in treated animals self-stimulating at other sites (Experiment 1). Feeding was partly attenuated, and drinking was much less attenuated by the spiroperidol. Since the rats bar-pressed for brain- stimulation reward, chewed pellets to eat, and licked a tube …

Rewriting The Call To Charity: From Food Shelf Volunteer To Food Justice Advocate, Beth Dixon
Rewriting The Call To Charity: From Food Shelf Volunteer To Food Justice Advocate, Beth Dixon
Food Systems Summit 2014
Consider the food shelf volunteer (or any charity worker) who is inspired to practice good work on behalf of those who are poor and hungry. Her beneficence is praiseworthy. But a simple call to charity may also blind the volunteer to certain facts about food justice. First, it leaves out why clients who utilize the food shelf are hungry. Second, it suggests that the generous volunteers who staff the food shelf have met their political responsibilities. In this viewpoint I argue that hunger relief advocates may be transformed into policy advocates only if they are epistemically positioned to do so. …

How Can You Recognize Success? Individual Responses To Food System Policy Aimed At Children, Erin Roche, David Connor, Jane Kolodinsky
Food Systems Summit 2014
Farm-to-school (FTS) programs and similar programs are gaining attention for many reasons, one of which is the recognition that they could help stem the increase in childhood overweight and obesity. Most programs that have been evaluated have increased students' selection or intake of fruits and vegetables following the incorporation of FTS components. However, the wide range of activities that are typically part of FTS programs make it difficult to pinpoint which components have the greatest potential to improve students' health behaviors. Within the field of nutrition education, theory-based interventions that target the key underlying factors influencing health behavior offer the …

Overcoming Panethnicity: Filipino-American Identity In A Globalized Culture, Brandon Napenias Oreiro
Global Honors Theses
Filipino-Americans have struggled to create a unique and visible social identity within the United States. Whether it be from their early colonial experiences in America to their more recent status as a ‘minority within a minority’, these groups of individuals are caught in a constantly expanding and increasingly complex identity crisis (Cordova, 1983; Revilla 1997; San Juan 1998). However, due to the effects of globalization and the increased application of technologies such as the internet, new avenues of self-representation have opened up, allowing for the creation of more individualistic and transnational identities that are currently challenging the conventional notions of …
Overt Responses During Covert Orienting., Brian D Corneil, Douglas P Munoz
Overt Responses During Covert Orienting., Brian D Corneil, Douglas P Munoz
Brain and Mind Institute Researchers' Publications
A distributed network of cortical and subcortical brain areas controls our oculomotor behavior. This network includes the superior colliculus (SC), which coordinates an ancient visual grasp reflex via outputs that ramify widely within the brainstem and spinal cord, accessing saccadic and other premotor and autonomic circuits. In this Review, we discuss recent results correlating subliminal SC activity in the absence of saccades with diverse components of the visual grasp reflex, including neck and limb muscle recruitment, pupil dilation, and microsaccade propensity. Such subtle manifestations of covert orienting are accessible in the motor periphery and may provide the next generation of …

On Sport and Society
I’m just now getting into the World Cup as the recent sports calendar has been overloaded with prime events. With the battle for Lord Stanley’s Cup raging on, the NBA Finals testing the bounds of credulity, and the U.S. Open Golf Tournament on the menu, trying to fit the World Cup into my thoughts and my schedule was nearly too much to manage. Perhaps foolishly, I will try to do some justice to each of these penultimate sporting events here.
The Influence Of Individual Differences On Emotional Processing And Emotional Memory, Patricia Lynn Johnson
The Influence Of Individual Differences On Emotional Processing And Emotional Memory, Patricia Lynn Johnson
USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Emotional material is better remembered than neutral material and some suggest this is reflected in different Event Related potentials (ERPs) to affective stimuli by valence. Inconsistent results may be due to individual differences, specifically the behavioral inhibition/behavioral activation (BIS/BAS) motivational system. This study sought to examine the relationship between motivational systems, emotional memory, and psychophysiological response to emotional pictures. While using EEG recording, subjects were shown 150 affective pictures and given a recall and yes/no recognition task after a 20 and 30-minute delay, respectively. Overall, differences were found by valence, but not consistently based on individual trait. Controlling for arousal …
Designing For Behavior And Culture In Local Food Systems, Christiana Lackner, J. P. Pellicciaro
Designing For Behavior And Culture In Local Food Systems, Christiana Lackner, J. P. Pellicciaro
Food Systems Summit 2014
Although food systems and design may seem like they do not have much in common, design is as essential to the human experience as food. Herbert Simon is quoted as saying, "Everyone designs who devises courses of action aimed at changing existing situations into preferred ones."
This view positions design to help address current issues around behavior and culture in local food systems. In this paper, we analyze the approaches of various common and emerging models in the local food movement through several design lenses. We highlight opportunities for innovation in local food initiatives by using design-based thinking tools that …
