Over the past several years small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS) have gained popularity in the private sector. Recent studies have shown an increasing interest from state DOTs in the U.S. for the use of drone technology. However, most of the studies did not fully investigate the depth of program integration or application. This study combines the findings of recent studies to identify state DOTs with the most extensive sUAS operational experience. The drone champions for the six states identified, were interviewed to gain substantive insight regarding program initiation and organization, the spectrum of agency use, perceived benefits, and the DOT’s …

Increasing Diversity And Inclusion Through Mentoring Underrepresented Groups, Corban Williams
The Professional Constructor
The Construction Industry historically has struggled to gain traction with underrepresented groups, such as women, African-Americans, and the Hispanic/ Latinx community. To combat this, industry-wide action is necessary to increase diversity and inclusion. Underrepresented communities have misconceptions about the construction industry including a lack of knowledge about the wide range of possible careers. By the AGC establishing a mentoring program with career goals and psychological attributes for grades 6-12 and college students, a positive dialog about the industry would be established. Visibility and promotion of the program would encourage students of underrepresented communities to consider a career in the construction …

The Professional Constructor
There is a documented demand for an educated construction management workforce. To help meet this demand, construction education programs at numerous post-secondary institutions have established objectives and goals to recruit, train, and graduate high-quality students; and, many of these programs are charged with providing educational opportunities to students who have been traditionally underserved in higher education (e.g., female, minority, first generation students, etc.). This study compared the enrollment and retention rates, interdepartmental migration patterns, and student satisfaction and graduation success outcomes of undergraduate students enrolled in a CM program at a public university as a means of identifying trends and …

Workplace Communication: Examining Leader-Member Exchange Theory, Uncertainty Avoidance, And Social Styles, Guy Robinson
Electronic Theses, Projects, and Dissertations
There are numerous books, articles, and papers written about communicating in the work environment; especially how to communicate to the work force at large. However, not much is written or studied concerning the dyadic communication between supervisor and subordinate. The paper will use leader-member exchange theory (LMX) as a basis for communication between supervisor and subordinate. LMX gives steps to aid in the communication process and helps guide the relationship between a supervisor and subordinate; however, there are two other elements in need of attention. In order to communicate effectively with their subordinates, supervisors need an understanding of the subordinates’ …

Beauty For Ashes: Reflections On Aesthetic Experience And Suffering, Douglas Gilmour
Verbum Incarnatum: An Academic Journal of Social Justice
In this essay, I examine the relationship between aesthetic experience and suffering, and I specifically explore how and why the former can potentially serve to meliorate the severity of the latter. Of course, that art and beauty can provide a certain measure of comfort and healing to the afflicted is a universally acknowledged truth; however, the reasons why this should be so could be considered an equally universal mystery. “I feel we understand too little about the psychology of loss,” writes Arthur Danto, “to understand why the creation of beauty is so fitting a way of marking it.” By exploring …

Urbanizimi është proces i rritjes së popullatës urbane,i zgjërimit fizik e hapësinor të qyteteve dhe i mënyrës urbane të jetesës.Mund të shihet si një mënyrë për të përmirësuar qytetërimin, duke i sjellë atij më shumë progres dhe zhvillim.[1] Si proces sjell zhvillim industrial dhe mirëqenie ekonomike, por jo kulturë shoqërore, që është thelbi i një qytetërimi.

Arkitektura si pjesë e përditshmërisë sonë luan rol të rëndësishëm në formësimin tonë si shoqëri. Në Kosovë, në periudhën e pasluftës ka humbur ndjenja e identitetit arkitekturor. Mirëpo, ky devijim ka filluar qysh më herët gjatë historisë. Gjatë periudhës së komunizmit të hershëm është ndërtuar me moton ''Shkatërro të vjetrën, ndërto të renë.''dhe kjo ka lënë pasoja të pakthyeshme në arkitekturë. Fazat tjera nuk kanë qenë më të mira në shoqërinë kosovare duke vazhduar me degradimin dhe zhdukjen e trashëgimisë sonë kulturore. Periudha e pasluftës solli trende të reja ndërtimi në Kosovë.
