Compiled And Edited Tennessee Laws Pertaining To Animals, Teresa L. Fisher, Jamie Lyn Norris

Other Publications

Foreward:

The editors have designed this book principally to serve as an edited collection of Tennessee statutes relating to animals. Because these statutes were collected and edited, the collection is necessarily incomplete. The criteria and process used by the editors in selecting statutes of interest to our target audiences were thoughtfully conceived. However, the choices they made may differ from those that you would make. We welcome feedback from you—including suggestions for future editions—as to how we can better edit this resource to serve your needs.

Moreover, especially because this book is a selective collection of statutory law available on …

Communicating In The 21st Century Workplace: A Theory Of Communication Nexus, Kenneth Levine, Suzie Allard, Carol Tenopir

School of Information Sciences -- Faculty Publications and Other Works

The workplace is evolving into the communication nexus; a central connection point for messages among workers. Naturalistic observations of 69 workers in four U.S. high-tech firms identified three themes: (1) frequency of communication, (2) availability and use of multiple communication channels, and (3) need for instantaneous communication. A new theory of the organizational workplace as a communication nexus is presented here to explain new organizational communication phenomena and predict organizational communication in the contemporary workplace.

Arrest History And Intimate Partner Violence Perpetration In A Sample Of Men And Women Arrested For Domestic Violence, Ryan C. Shorey, Andrew Ninnemann, Joanna Elmquist, Lindsay Labrecque, Heather Zucosky, Jeniimarie Febres, Hope Brasfield, Gregory Lyal Stuart

Psychology Publications and Other Works

Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a serious and prevalent problem throughout the United States. Currently, individuals arrested for domestic violence are often court mandated to batterer intervention programs (BIPs). However, little is known about the arrest histories of these individuals, especially women. The current study examined the arrest histories of men (n = 303) and women (n = 82) arrested for domestic violence and court-referred to BIPs. Results demonstrated that over 30% of the entire sample had been previously arrested for a non-violent offense, and over 25% of the participants had been previously arrested for a violent offense other than …

Addressing Substance Abuse And Violence In Substance Use Disorder Treatment And Batter Intervention Programs, Christine Timko, Helen Valenstein, Patricia Y. Lin, Rudolf H. Moos, Gregory Lyal Stuart, Ruth C. Cronkite

Psychology Publications and Other Works

Background

Substance use disorders and perpetration of intimate partner violence (IPV) are interrelated, major public health problems.

Methods

We surveyed directors of a sample of substance use disorder treatment programs (SUDPs; N=241) and batterer intervention programs (BIPs; N=235) in California (70% response rate) to examine the extent to which SUDPs address IPV, and BIPs address substance abuse.

Results

Generally, SUDPs were not addressing co-occurring IPV perpetration in a formal and comprehensive way. Few had a policy requiring assessment of potential clients, or monitoring of admitted clients, for violence perpetration; almost one-quarter did not admit potential clients who had perpetrated IPV, …

The Embedded Repository: Introducing An Institutional Repository To A New Audience Via Location-Aware Social Networking, Robin A. Bedenbaugh, Holly Mercer

UT Libraries Faculty: Peer-Reviewed Publications

The authors report the outcome of a partnership between a university marketing and communications department and a university library. The research aimed to determine whether providing links to institutional digital repository content on location-based social media is a viable marketing approach. Foursquare tips were added to locations on the Texas A&M University campus with links to repository content. The authors subsequently monitored repository traffic using Google Analytics to determine how many users were being referred by the Foursquare service. Research indicates that users will click through links on Foursquare to visit the institutional repository, and that they will explore further …
