Marbles: The Application Of Input-Output Concepts To Safety Management Systems, Tim Brady, Alan Stolzer, Anthony Brickhouse, Antonio Cortés, Dan Mccune, Jayathi Raghavan, David Freiwald
Journal of Aviation Technology and Engineering
The goal of this research was to apply the economic concept titled Input-Output Analysis to an aviation safety concept titled Safety Management Systems (SMS). Input-Output (IO) is based upon the interrelationships of various components of an economic system and what happens to the system when one or more of those components changes. Since SMS is, by definition, a system with definable components, the research sought to determine if the interrelationships between those components could be determined and quantified. The term ‘‘marbles’’ was used to describe the activities that led to the IO-SMS matrix. Marbles was used as a metaphor for …

How To Teach The Concept Of Key Frames To Post-Secondary Level Students?, Victoria Mcglynn
How To Teach The Concept Of Key Frames To Post-Secondary Level Students?, Victoria Mcglynn
Publications and Scholarship
This study attempts to identify how best to teach the concept of key frames to students in postsecondary education. Key frames are used to help generate movement when creating visual effects inside editing software. The concept is essential for the students to learn, as it is the foundation for many more complicated visual effects required for use in editing. As a teacher I have noticed that students who are new to the subject of video-editing often struggle with the concept of key frames when they are learning it for the first time. Using action research this study looks at investigating …

Libraries Faculty and Staff Presentations
This poster was presented at the Association for Information Science and Technology’s (ASIS&T) Annual Meeting in St. Louis, MO on November 9, 2015. Accessing, using and managing data is increasingly recognized as an important learning outcome in higher education. Approaches to data literacy have typically been informed by information literacy. New approaches to information literacy have emerged that address how information is used in the different disciplinary contexts in which people learn and work. Successful approaches to data literacy will also need to address contextual concerns. Informed learning is an approach to information literacy that purposefully addresses contextual concerns by …

Dine Out For Hunger Initiative Helps Local Residents, Mark D. Weinstein
Dine Out For Hunger Initiative Helps Local Residents, Mark D. Weinstein
News Releases
It’s estimated that nearly 50 million people in the United States live in a “food insecure” household. That’s why, for the eighth-straight year, students from Cedarville University’s social work program and the Phi Alpha Honor Society (Epsilon Omega) are partnering with local restaurants to “Dine Out for Hunger.”
The week-long event will raise awareness for National Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week. The initiative will also help the homeless as a portion of all sales from participating restaurants will go to help those in need. The initiative takes place November 16-20 at selected restaurants in the Miami Valley (listed below).

So You Think You Can Model? A Guide To Building And Evaluating Archaeological Simulation Models Of Dispersals, Iza Romanowska
So You Think You Can Model? A Guide To Building And Evaluating Archaeological Simulation Models Of Dispersals, Iza Romanowska
Human Biology Open Access Pre-Prints
With the current surge of simulation studies in archaeology there is a growing concern for the lack of engagement and feedback between modellers and domain specialists. To facilitate this dialogue I present a compact guide to the simulation modelling process applied to a common research topic and the focus of this special issue of Human Biology—human dispersals. The process of developing a simulation is divided into nine steps grouped in three phases. The conceptual phase consists of identifying research questions (step 1) and finding the most suitable method (step 2), designing the general framework and the resolution of the …
Shut Up And Listen! How Experiences As A Learner And A Culture Shock Shifted My Focus Of Teacher Knowledge In A Science Classroom, Mason Kuhn
The Qualitative Report
When pre-service teachers transition into service many revert back to the experiences they had as a learner. This can be an issue if the teacher did not receive "best practice" when they were engaged in the K-12 experience. This autoethnography will take the reader through the experiences of a teacher who did not receive an education where his teachers utilized a pedagogy promoted in Tertiary schooling. He will describe an experience with his poverty-stricken students that made him realize that his didactic style of teaching was not effective.

Fostering Hope For A More Socially Just World: A Review Of Corey Johnson And Diana Parry’S Fostering Social Justice Through Qualitative Inquiry: A Methodological Guide, Richard H. Rogers
The Qualitative Report
Social justice is about hope and transforming society where resources, rights, and power are equitable without signs of oppression. Qualitative researchers escape the boundaries of the positivism and develop understanding in context. When a researcher combines a qualitative methodological approach with a social justice paradigm, he or she brings a sense of hope for a more just society. The book Fostering Social Justice Through Qualitative Inquiry: A Methodological Guide by Corey Johnson and Diana Parry provides readers and researchers the theory and practice to make a positive, transformational difference in our world.

Sampling In Qualitative Research: Insights From An Overview Of The Methods Literature, Stephen J. Gentles, Cathy Charles, Jenny Ploeg, K. Ann Mckibbon
The Qualitative Report
The methods literature regarding sampling in qualitative research is characterized by important inconsistencies and ambiguities, which can be problematic for students and researchers seeking a clear and coherent understanding. In this article we present insights about sampling in qualitative research derived from a systematic methods overview we conducted of the literature from three research traditions: grounded theory, phenomenology, and case study. We identified and selected influential methods literature from each tradition using a purposeful and transparent procedure, abstracted textual data using structured abstraction forms, and used a multistep approach for deriving conclusions from the data. We organize the findings from …

Whether Turkey Is A Really Safe Haven Henceforward For Both Turkish And Syrians, Meltem Cilek Dirsehan
UBT International Conference
Turkey as a safe haven has been welcoming of more than two millions Syrian people without any ethnic or sectarian discrimination for four years. State institutions have spent nearly 6 billion dollars to set a life for asylum seekers in the best refugee camps and without any notable support of United Nations and other external agencies and countries. However, out of the camps, life and safety conditions of especially lower class Syrian people have been getting worse day by day because of security related problems emerging between citizens and Syrian asylum seekers, even in the border cities where local people …
