Triennial Scientific Review: Assisting Drowning Victims: Effective Water Rescue Equipment For Lay-Responders, Angela K. Beale-Tawfeeq

International Journal of Aquatic Research and Education

The original question addressed in the scientific review was What is the most effective piece of rescue equipment for a lay responder to throw to a person in trouble in water? and the modified question was rephrased as What are the most effective types of aquatic rescue equipment for a layperson/bystander to use to rescue a drowning person? To thoroughly analyze the main question, the following sub-questions were examined: What are the most accurate and buoyant types of devices? What specific equipment is best for quick rescues? What specific equipment can be grasped most easily by drowning victims? This …

Risk Factors For Boating Incidents In Inuvik, Northwest Territories, Canada, Catherine Tr Glass, Audrey R. Giles

International Journal of Aquatic Research and Education

Injury prevention programs that focus on boating and water safety in the Northwest Territories (NWT) have existed for decades; however, rates of boating incidents are much higher in the NWT than southern Canada. To better understand this health disparity, we engaged in community-based participatory research informed by postcolonial feminist theory to examine Aboriginal men’s understandings of the risk factors that contribute to boating incidents in Inuvik, NWT. Participants identified four main risk factors for boating incidents in Inuvik: 1) Gender, 2) age, 3) place, and 4) lack of boating safety education. As a result of these findings and the ways …

Self-Reported Addiction To Pornography In A Nationally Representative Sample: The Roles Of Use Habits, Religiousness, And Moral Incongruence, Joshua B. Grubbs, Shane W. Kraus, Samuel L. Perry

Psychology Faculty Publications

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Despite controversies regarding its existence as a legitimate mental health condition, self-reports of pornography addiction seem to occur regularly. In the United States, prior works using various sampling techniques, such as undergraduate samples and online convenience samples, have consistently demonstrated that some pornography users report feeling dysregulated or out of control in their use. Even so, there has been very little work in US nationally representative samples to examine self-reported pornography addiction.

METHODS: This study sought to examine self-reported pornography addiction in a US nationally representative sample of adult Internet users (N = 2,075).

RESULTS: The results …

Research Brief One-Sheet – No. 9: On-Duty Shootings: Police Officers Charged With Murder Or Manslaughter, 2005-2019, Philip M. Stinson, Chloe Wentzlof

Criminal Justice Faculty Publications

This research is part of a larger study of police crime—that is, crime committed by nonfederal sworn law enforcement officers with general powers of arrest—across the United States. In 2014, after several fatal on-duty police shootings garnered national media attention, our principal investigator, Philip Stinson, conducted a joint research project with The Washington Post to count the number of police officers charged with murder or manslaughter resulting from an on-duty shooting where the officer shot and killed someone. The results of the joint research project were published in The Washington Post on April 12, 2015, and The Washington Post was …

Statistical Inference For The Transformed Rayleigh Lomax Distribution With Progressive Type-Ii Right Censorship, Amani Alghami, Wei Ning, Arjun K. Gupta

Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications

In this paper, we study the transformed Rayleigh Lomax (Trans-RL) distribution which belongs to a certain family of two parameters lifetime distributions given by Wang et al (2010). Confidence intervals and inverse estimators of the Trans-RL parameters are derived in terms of order statistics. A simulation study is conducted to report the coverage probabilities, the average biases and the average relative mean square errors for the maximum likelihood, L-moments and inverse estimators. We compare the performance of these methods under different schemes of progressively Type-II right censoring. Finally, an illustrative example is provided to demonstrate the proposed methods.

Exploring New Statistical Frontiers At The Intersection Of Survey Science And Big Data: Convergence At "Bigsurv18", Craig A. Hill, Paul Biemer, Trent Buskirk, Mario Callegaro, Analucía Córdova Cazar, Adam Eck, Lilli Japec, Antje Kirchner, Stas Kolenikov, Lars Lyberg, Patrick Sturgis

Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications

Held in October 2018, The Big Data Meets Survey Science conference, also known as “Big- Surv18,” provided a first-of-its-kind opportunity for survey researchers, statisticians, computer scientists, and data scientists to convene under the same roof. At this conference, scientists from multiple disciplines were able to exchange ideas about their work might influence and enhance the work of others. This was a landmark event, especially for survey researchers and statisticians, whose industry has been buffeted of late by falling response rates and rising costs at the same time as a proliferation of new tools and techniques, coupled with increasing availability of …

Communication Preferences Of Young Adults During “Do Not Drink” Water Emergencies, Philip J. Welch, Phil Zitko, Chelsea Raker, Rebecca Fallon

Public and Allied Health Faculty Publications

Background: Rapid, accurate communication between public health officials and the community members they serve is essential for public health protection and safety. “Do not drink” water advisories are public health emergencies that periodically occur in Northwest Ohio. The City of Toledo issued a “do not drink” advisory to approximately 400,000 residents in August 2014. Most families learned about the “do not drink” advisory from television news networks. However, communication preferences among young adults differ greatly from older generations. The purpose of this study was to identify young adult communication preferences during public health emergencies such as “do not drink” water …

An Analysis Of Academic Dishonesty In Online Classes, Jennifer Peterson

Mid-Western Educational Researcher

Currently, online formal education is growing at a phenomenal rate; however, many fear that online courses do not provide the same rigor as on-campus courses. This is due in large part to the perception that students are more likely to cheat in online courses. A number of studies have been completed in this area and, in fact, many have shown that students are more likely to cheat in on-campus courses than in online courses; however, the perception remains. This perception affects opinions about online classes and even the reputation of the institutions offering the classes. The question then arises as …

Examining The Instructional Priorities Of A Secondary Education Teacher Preparation Program Utilizing An Integrated Approach To Assessment Education, Daniel M. Frederking

Mid-Western Educational Researcher

This study examined the instructional priorities of a four-year undergraduate secondary education program that does not offer an assessment-specific course, but instead integrates assessment instruction throughout the broader curriculum. An alignment method was utilized to better understand the program’s instructional priorities for teaching about assessment in comparison to the locally-used professional teaching standards and the locally-used teacher accreditation performance assessment. Areas of both alignment and misalignment were found in three dimensions: categorical concurrence (CC), depth of knowledge (DOK), and range of knowledge (ROK). Findings include course syllabi objectives that were written at a broader ROK level than the other two …

A Comparison Of Older Adult Suicide And Adolescent Suicide Through Film Representations, Catherine Longmore-Micham

Honors Projects

Approximately, 47,173 people in the United States died by suicide in 2017, making it the 10th leading cause of death. Although middle-aged adults have the highest rate of suicide, 20.2 per 100,000, older adults (i.e., individuals 60 years and older) closely follow with a rate of 20.1. Adolescent age groups have much lower rates for suicide: a rate of 14.46 per 100,100 in 2017 (American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, 2017). The risk factors that affect adolescents and older adults are similar in some ways, but they differ in one major aspect: impulsivity. The issues that can be said to ‘cause’ …

Mindful Volleyball: A Complete Mindfulness Program For Volleyball Teams, Athletes, And Coaches, Kristine Walker

Master of Education in Applied Human Development Graduate Projects

During competition, not only are athletes expected to perform well, but they also must be able to shift their attention to what is relevant, make quick decisions, and fight through challenges and mistakes (i.e., adversity) whileperforming well. An increasingly popular way to train these aspects of mental performance is through mindfulness practice. Being able to pay attention, without judgment to what is happening in the present moment (i.e., being mindful; Kabat-Zinn, 1994) plays a role in success on the court or field (Mannion, in press). An attacker in volleyball must be able to forget about her last attempt where …

Sponsorship In Esports Welcome To The Brave New World, Boyuan Xing

Master of Education in Applied Human Development Graduate Projects

In the past few decades, eSports and competitive gaming are experiencing huge developments and growing tremendouslyin itspopularity (Newzoo, 2019; PwC, 2019). Same as any other fast-growing industry, eSports has attracted significant capital investments and marketing practices. As predicted by Newzoo (2019), the market revenue of eSports will reach 1,790 million dollars by 2022, andthe sponsorships would likely be the largestcontributor. Unlike sponsorshipin traditional sports, various features of eSport make the sponsorship in conjunction with the event very unique and different from the traditionalsportssponsorship: the target market, the categories of sponsors, the form of sponsorship, etc. This study intends to compare …

Developing A Culturally Relevant Pedagogy Through The Use Of Diverse Literature And Perspective-Taking: A Resource Guide, Katie Dushek

Honors Projects

There is a growing diverse population in today’s secondary schools, yet the literary canon that is taught remains extremely white. Additionally, students today are rarely challenged to step into another’s shoes to see from a different perspective. With this lack of diversity in mind, I have created a resource guide with the goal of helping in-service and pre-service teachers to develop a more culturally relevant pedagogy through the use of diverse literature in their curriculum and the incorporation of more perspective-taking activities into their lessons. This guide provides a list of diverse books, recommendations on how to teach more diverse …

Virtual Ethnography: The Post Possibilities Of Not Being There, Lauren Angelone

Mid-Western Educational Researcher

The purpose of this paper is methodological. It serves as a defense of virtual ethnography as a method, not only well suited to postpositivist research, but as a tool to further interrogate the tenuous truth that all research produces. To accomplish this, virtual ethnography is situated within the history of qualitative inquiry and then examined in terms of data collection, analysis, and the types of productive challenges virtuality presents. The paper concludes by considering the use of virtual ethnography in education, particularly in the field of educational technology.
