"Waaay Beyond Words": Using Voice And Gestures To Catapult Communication, David Páez

Shared Knowledge Conference

"Mmmuuuchísimos años atrás" (mmmaaany years ago). That is what a Colombian speaker would say when describing an event that occurred a long time ago. In doing so, they simulate throwing an imaginary object (like a paper plane), pushing their hands far away from the body. At the same time, they will extend the duration of the words and rise and drop intonation and speaking rate, simulating the sound of throwing that object. This combination of multiple "modalities" of expression (speech sounds and gestures) that resemble the concepts they are conveying is called Multimodal Iconic Expressions (MMIEs). These MMIEs tend to …

Family Listening Program: Implementing Evidence-Based Family Prevention Program In New Mexican Tribal Communities, Belkis Jacquez

Shared Knowledge Conference

Given the health inequities experienced by American Indian (AI) communities, those of which have been exasperated by the COVID-19 pandemic, it is imperative that research not only attempts to improve health outcomes but also addresses barriers and facilitators so that tribal communities benefit from research. The indigenous Family Listening Program (FLP) is a family prevention program developed through a long-standing community-engaged research partnership between the University of New Mexico and three southwest American Indian Tribal communities using community-based participatory research (CBPR) and culture-centered approaches. FLP strives to reduce at-risk behaviors, depression, and anxiety, and to strengthen family communication by bringing …

An Examination Of Ingan Micro-Led Carrier Dynamics Through Small Signal Rf Analysis, Elizabeth Dejong

Shared Knowledge Conference

Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are by far the most efficient and customizable light source commercially available. While large-area LEDs already have a wide range of uses and represent a massive decrease in energy costs and consumption compared to conventional light sources, applications such as directional lighting, digital displays, and visible light communication would benefit from a reduction in LED source size. Smaller light sources can achieve higher precision directionality, higher display resolution, and faster modulation. Micro-LEDs, usually defined as having a diameter of 50 μm or less, therefore have the potential to further reduce energy consumption and increase functionality. However, micro-LEDs …

Cancer Clinical Trial Recruitment: The Role Of Family Members In Cancer Clinical Trial Decision-Making Among Minority Groups, Tomide Oloruntobi

Shared Knowledge Conference

This (ongoing) study examines the role of family members in cancer clinical trial decision-making among minority groups. It explores the patterns of family communication and involvement and out they both influence decision-making to (not)participate in CCT. Three four themes emerged from analyzing in-depth interviews of 23 family members: 1. Narrative construction of care; 2. Constrained treatment options and timeliness; 3. Significance of community outreaches; 4. Collective emotions. The study found diverse communication strategies that are deemed essential for cancer clinical trial recruiters to have for successful recruitment.

Music Genre Classification By Convolutional Neural Networks, Usame Suud

Mathematics & Statistics ETDs

In today’s world, deep learning models are widely used in a variety of fields. Audio

applications include speech recognition, audio classification, and music information

retrieval. In this paper, we will focus on the classification of music genres using an

artificial neural network. The development of audio machine learning techniques has

created an independence from traditional, more time-consuming signal processing

techniques. Starting with raw audio data, we will gain an understanding of what

audio is and its digital representation. Then, the focus will be on obtaining frequency

information from audio signals through the use of spectrograms. Transforming the

spectrograms into the …

The goals were to obtain feedback from library faculty and staff about remote work and telecommuting in order to develop a guideline, and to measure satisfaction with the hybrid work environment several months after the guideline was implemented.

Design & Methodology: Two web-based surveys were sent to all library faculty and staff, one in April 2021 and the other in March 2022. The first survey included multiple-choice and …

Autonomous Space: Incorporating Concepts Of Questioning Into A Wellness Room, Varina A. Kosovich, Kelleen Maluski

Posters and Presentations

When we discuss critical pedagogy much focus is given to the classroom and consultations, but at the University of New Mexico Health Sciences Library and Informatics Center (HSLIC) we have incorporated critical pedagogy into all our spaces. This incorporation extended to the creation of a wellness room for our users. Considering that “The prevalence of depressive symptoms among (health sciences) students was 12.9%, significantly higher than in the general population, and was 16.1% among female students versus 8.1% among males” and incorporating feedback from our users we believed that a space for private decompression and spiritual connection would be useful.* …

Covid-19 Pandemic Impact Report At The University Of New Mexico, Lisa A. Marchiondo, Shannon Sanchez-Youngman, Teagan Mullins, Naila V. Decruz-Dixon, Melanie E. Moses, Julia Fulghum

ADVANCE Reports

This report outlines four overarching issues that the COVID-19 pandemic raised or amplified for faculty, based on a survey of full-time faculty on the main campus of the University of New Mexico in Spring 2022. Some of the issues identified existed before the pandemic, which further exacerbated challenges and inequities. Results based on faculty gender, race/ethnicity, and job title are provided.

The report contains multiple recommendations for each of the four core issues that will assist individual faculty and improve campus climate and culture. Recommendations are often applicable to multiple issues, so we provide an appendix that cross-lists recommendations between …

The Role Of Self-Efficacy And Emotional Exhaustion In Teacher Considerations Of Job-Related Stressors And Attrition: A Mixed-Methods Study, Raymond Nance

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

Teacher attrition is a problem currently afflicting classrooms around the world. Emotional exhaustion and teacher self-efficacy have been demonstrated to be factors in attrition. This study assesses the efficacy of potential tools for use in evaluating emotional exhaustion and self-efficacy before problems arise and to guide professional development in efficacious directions.

This parallel-convergent mixed-methods study performed quantitative regression analyses on the joined effects of emotional exhaustion and self-efficacy to assess their potential mediating role between teachers’ job stressors and considerations of leaving the job. The existence of mediation was demonstrated. Qualitative thematic analysis of transcripts from six interviews with current …

A Rapid High-Precision Analytical Method For Triple Oxygen Isotope Analysis Of Co2 Gas Using Tunable Infrared Laser Direct Absorption Spectroscopy, Nathan Perdue, Zachary Sharp, David Nelson Jr., Rick Wehr, Christoph Dyroff

Earth and Planetary Sciences ETDs

Rationale

The simultaneous analysis of the three stable isotopes of oxygen – triple oxygen isotope analysis – has become an important analytical technique in natural sciences. Determination of the abundance of the rare ¹⁷O isotope in CO₂ gas using magnetic sector isotope ratio mass spectrometry is complicated by the isobaric interference of ¹⁷O by ­¹³C (¹³C¹⁶O¹⁶O and ¹²C¹⁶O¹⁷O both have mass 45 amu). A number of analytical techniques have been used to measure the ¹⁷O/¹⁶O ratio of CO₂ gas. They …

I'M Pretty Sure I'M Worthless If I Can't Be Of Service: Under The Surface Of Resilience Narratives, Alexis Ellsworth-Kopkowski, Kelleen Maluski, Varina A. Kosovich

Posters and Presentations

While the term sustainability is referencing the need to accurately understand how to sustain a service, resource, or other initiative over time it has often become synonymous with a “do more with less” attitude within libraries. When sustainability is mentioned you often hear along with it terms like resilience, change management, and adaptability while rarely hearing about a budget or other forms of support reflective of the work being requested. In this workshop the presenters will discuss the history of resilience narratives within our profession, the need to carve out care for oneself outside of institutional loyalty, and the impact …
