“I Felt Like Such A Freshman”: First-Year Students Crossing The Library Threshold Dec 2015

“I Felt Like Such A Freshman”: First-Year Students Crossing The Library Threshold

Heather Jagman

Qualitative analysis of reflective essays by first-year students in an academic skills course documented outcomes related to the Association of College and Research Libraries Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education. Student narratives showed how novices encounter the clusters of concepts described in the Framework as “Scholarship as Conversation,” “Searching as Strategic Exploration,” and “Research as Inquiry.” Assessing students’ metacognition—that is, their thinking about the learning process—revealed that they connected personal identity with academic conversations, developed strategies for exploring subject classification, and balanced persistence with help-seeking. The open-ended exercise was effective as a collaborative approach to academic engagement and information …


Recruitment And Retention Of Aa Gp.2016.Pdf, Deborah M. Whitley Dec 2015

Recruitment And Retention Of Aa Gp.2016.Pdf, Deborah M. Whitley

Deborah M. Whitley

Studies  on  recruitment  and  retention  of  grandparents raising  grandchildren  into  community-based  research  have received scant attention by scholars. The lack of attention is especially troubling considering the continuing growth of this family group, as well as the large proportion of custodial grandparents who are ethnically diverse and vulnerable to various health and psychological risks. Limited attention to recruitment and retention methods leads to reduced understanding of the full value of service interventions for custodial grandparents and the grandchildren they are raising. This article describes the recruitment and retention methods used in one longstanding research study involving African American custodial grandparents. …

Whitley_Et_Al-2016-Journal_Of_Clinical_Psychology.Pdf, Deborah M. Whitley

Deborah M. Whitley

Objectives: This study examines the effectiveness of a multidisciplinary intervention for African American grandmothers raising grandchildren on the relationship between dichotomized levels of mental health stress (low vs. high) and elevated levels of psychological distress, mediated by perceptions of family resources. Method: A nonrandom sample of African American grandmothers (N = 679) was assessed to test the predictive relations among study constructs in the context of a prospective mediational model. Results: Perception of family resources contributes to lower psychological distress among custodial grandmothers exhibiting low and high levels of mental health stress. There was no significant difference in the strength …


Depression, Social Support And Mh. Ijahd-2016-Whitley-166-87.Pdf, Deborah M. Whitley Dec 2015

Depression, Social Support And Mh. Ijahd-2016-Whitley-166-87.Pdf, Deborah M. Whitley

Deborah M. Whitley

Custodial grandparents raising grandchildren experience intense levels of stress that can lead to depression and other forms of psychological distress. Drawing on a coping model of family stress, adjustment, and adaptation, we explored the relationship between depression and mental health quality of life mediated by social support and moderated by grandparent’s age. The sample consisted of 667 African American custodial grandmothers, dichotomized into two age groupings, 55 (n¼306) and 55+(n¼361). All grandmothers participated in a 12-month support intervention. The prospective analysis revealed social support was a mediator in the association between depressive symptoms and mental health quality of life for …


Defence Diplomacy And The Australian Defence Force: Smokescreen Or Strategy?, Daniel Baldino, Andrew Carr Dec 2015

Defence Diplomacy And The Australian Defence Force: Smokescreen Or Strategy?, Daniel Baldino, Andrew Carr

Daniel Baldino

The practice of military-to-military engagement has been stronglyembraced in the last few decades as a central tool for strategic
management. Many governments in the Asia-Pacific, including
Australia, have accepted the practice as an instrument ofstatecraft to achieve comprehensive strategic outcomes: as ameans of defusing tensions, reducing hostility and shaping thebehaviour of states towards each other. This article examines
Australias broad approach and practice, and argues that such
transformative ambitions are overstated. The evidence suggests
that the benefits from defence diplomacy are evident at the
tactical and operational level. It is a mode to deal …


The Criminal Bug: Volkswagen's Middle Management, J.S. Nelson Dec 2015

The Criminal Bug: Volkswagen's Middle Management, J.S. Nelson

J.S. Nelson

Not only does the 2015-16 Volkswagen emissions cheating scandal have the potential to destroy a $227 billion-dollar multinational company, but it contains eerie echoes of other recent white collar scandals that have claimed lives and cost the public trillions of dollars. Through a case study of Volkswagen, this Essay pioneers a new way to look at these scandals by focusing on their common element: the growing insulation and entrenchment of middle management to coordinate such large-scale wrongdoing.

The Corporate Shell Game, J.S. Nelson Dec 2015

The Corporate Shell Game, J.S. Nelson

J.S. Nelson

This Article identifies for the first time the hardening of the corporate shell. It provides compelling evidence that shell-hardening pushes and disguises the way that corporations and agents commit large-scale wrongdoing, and it traces the contributing legal streams that protect the agents who engage in this behavior. The only way to combat widespread frauds that inflict damage on the public is for the corporate shell to be-come less opaque.


Comparing Apples To (Apples) Oranges: An Exploration Of The Use Of Libguides In Arl Libraries, Rosalinda H. Linares, Anna Marie Johnson Dec 2015

Comparing Apples To (Apples) Oranges: An Exploration Of The Use Of Libguides In Arl Libraries, Rosalinda H. Linares, Anna Marie Johnson

Anna Marie Johnson

LibGuides, a Springshare software platform used across ARL institutions, is a technology tool librarians use to create online research guides. As LibGuides implementation becomes increasingly ubiquitous, best practices for evaluating and improving LibGuides benefit from a review of the literature and interlibrary usage examination. This case study reviews the literature on LibGuides, explores usage statistics of LibGuides at 27 ARL institutions with particular attention paid to the University of Louisville Libraries, and provides recommendations for increasing LibGuides usage and opportunities for further research.


The Impact Of Adolescent Risk Behavior On Partner Relationships, Terence P. Thornberry, Marvin D. Krohn, Megan B. Augustyn, Molly Buchanan, Sarah J. Greenman Dec 2015

The Impact Of Adolescent Risk Behavior On Partner Relationships, Terence P. Thornberry, Marvin D. Krohn, Megan B. Augustyn, Molly Buchanan, Sarah J. Greenman

Sarah Greenman

Prior literature suggests that involvement in adolescent risk behaviors will have short- and long-term consequences that disrupt the orderly flow of later development, including impacts on patterns of partner relationships. In this study, we explore how adolescent involvement in delinquency, drug use, and sexual behavior at an early age affects the likelihood and timing of both marriage and cohabitation using a sample from the Rochester Youth Development Study. We also examine the direct effects of dropping out of high school, teenage parenthood, and financial stress during emerging adulthood as well as their potential role as mediators of the relationships between …

Mandela's Dark Years: A Political Theory Of Dreaming, Sharon Sliwinski Dec 2015

Mandela's Dark Years: A Political Theory Of Dreaming, Sharon Sliwinski

Sharon Sliwinski

Inspired by one of Nelson Mandela’s recurring nightmares, Mandela’s Dark Years offers a political reading of dream-life. Sharon Sliwinski guides the reader through the psychology of apartheid, recasting dreaming as a vital form of resistance to political violence. This short, provocative study blends political theory with clinical psychoanalysis, opening up a new space to consider the politics of reverie.

Incorporating Etds In The Ir, One Department At A Time, Kristen Hoffman Dec 2015

Incorporating Etds In The Ir, One Department At A Time, Kristen Hoffman

Kristen Hoffman

How do you add student work to an IR when there is no centralized graduate school? At Seattle Pacific University, each department or school sets their own policy and has their own unique workflow, which has both challenges and benefits. Kristen worked with five individual departments to establish workflow solutions; consider if one of these options may work for you as you incorporate student work.

A Quantitative Analysis Of The Academic, Athletic, And Social Domain Perceptions Of Division I Football Players, Laurel Traynowicz, C. Keith Harrison, Ginny Mcpherson-Botts, Scott Bukstein Jd, Suzanne Malia Lawrence Dec 2015

A Quantitative Analysis Of The Academic, Athletic, And Social Domain Perceptions Of Division I Football Players, Laurel Traynowicz, C. Keith Harrison, Ginny Mcpherson-Botts, Scott Bukstein Jd, Suzanne Malia Lawrence

Scott Bukstein JD

The purpose of this study was to assess the results of a National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I football team in terms of male student-athletes’ (N = 78) perceptions of identity development and the athletic career transition process in the context of student engagement research literature in higher education. Previous research with the Life After Sports Scale (LASS) (Harrison & Lawrence, 2002, 2003, 2004; Lawrence & Harrison, 2011), a 58-item mixed method inventory, has focused on the Division II male and female student-athlete experience. Using validation theory (Rendon, 1994) and student engagement frameworks, we found three major findings that …


Republic And Nation Are Just Metro Stations: Value, Language And Play In Urban France, Cat Tebaldi Dec 2015

Republic And Nation Are Just Metro Stations: Value, Language And Play In Urban France, Cat Tebaldi

Cat Tebaldi

In times of crises over economics, migration, and terrorism France asserts republican values to reaffirm national unity, strengthen national borders, and calm bourgeois anxieties. Yet as republican values are seen to be embodied in particular national symbols and linguistic forms, they become the values of empire (Negri 2000), silencing minority voices and narratives.   Ann Stoler describes this as France’s “colonial aphasia” (2011), the lack of a verbal or a conceptual vocabulary for the colonial past.  In contrast to this silence and forgetting, young people of diverse origins on France’s urban periphery are coming up with new words and new …


Algo-Ritmo: More-Than-Human Performative Acts And The Racializing Assemblages Of Algorithmic Architectures, Ezekiel J. Dixon-Román Dec 2015

Algo-Ritmo: More-Than-Human Performative Acts And The Racializing Assemblages Of Algorithmic Architectures, Ezekiel J. Dixon-Román

Ezekiel J Dixon-Román

What happens when more-than-human digital acts tell us something about ourselves? This article examines the ways in which the algorithms of data analytics function in relation to other ontologies and assemblages and how they are shaping and forming our lives. Beginning by critically questioning the ontology of data, data are argued to be an assemblage that is materially and discursively produced from a multiplicity of apparatuses including sociopolitical relations of power and “difference.” The concept of algo-ritmo—that is, the repetition of data with alterity—is introduced as a way of understanding how the performative acts of the “soft(ware) thinking” of algorithms …


What Does ‘Green’ Open Access Mean? Tracking Twelve Years Of Changes To Journal Publisher Self-Archiving Policies, Elizabeth Gadd, Denise Troll Covey Dec 2015

What Does ‘Green’ Open Access Mean? Tracking Twelve Years Of Changes To Journal Publisher Self-Archiving Policies, Elizabeth Gadd, Denise Troll Covey

Denise Troll Covey

Traces the 12‐year self‐archiving policy journey of the original 107 publishers listed on the
SHERPA/RoMEO Publisher Policy Database in 2004, through to 2015. Maps the RoMEO colour codes
(‘green’, ‘blue’, ‘yellow’ and ‘white’) and related restrictions and conditions over time. Finds that
while the volume of publishers allowing some form of self‐archiving (pre‐print, post‐print or both)
has increased by 12% over the twelve years, the volume of restrictions around how, where, and
when self‐archiving may take place has increased 119%, 190% and 1000% respectively. A significant
positive correlation was found between the increase in self‐archiving restrictions and the
introduction of …


Inference Of Self-Exciting Jumps In Prices And Volatility Using High-Frequency Measures, Worapree Ole Maneesoonthorn, Catherine S. Forbes, Gael M. Martin Dec 2015

Inference Of Self-Exciting Jumps In Prices And Volatility Using High-Frequency Measures, Worapree Ole Maneesoonthorn, Catherine S. Forbes, Gael M. Martin

Worapree Ole Maneesoonthorn

Dynamic jumps in the price and volatility of an asset are modelled using a joint Hawkes process in conjunction with a bivariate jump diffusion. A state space representation is used to link observed returns, plus nonparametric measures of integrated volatility and price jumps, to the specified model components; with Bayesian inference conducted using a Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm. An evaluation of marginal likelihoods for the proposed model relative to a large number of alternative models, including some that have featured in the literature, is provided. An extensive empirical investigation is undertaken using data on the S&P500 market index over …


Temporary Legislation, Better Regulation And Experimentalist Governance: An Empirical Study, Ittai Bar-Siman-Tov Dec 2015

Temporary Legislation, Better Regulation And Experimentalist Governance: An Empirical Study, Ittai Bar-Siman-Tov

Dr. Ittai Bar-Siman-Tov

This article presents the findings of an extensive multi-method empirical study that explored the relationship between temporary legislation, better regulation, and experimentalist governance. Temporary (or “sunset”) legislation, statutory provisions enacted for a limited time and set to expire unless their validity is extended, is often hailed as a key tool for promoting experimental and better regulation. Despite the importance of temporary legislation and the burgeoning theoretical scholarship on the subject, there is still a dearth of empirical studies about how temporary legislation is used in practice. The lack of empirical evidence creates a lacuna in at least three areas of …
