I Know I Can Learn: The Perceptions Of Ncaa Division I Football College Athletes With Learning Disabilities, Sarah Stokowski, Heather Blunt-Vinti, Robin Hardin, Benjamin D. Goss, Megan Turk Jun 2024

I Know I Can Learn: The Perceptions Of Ncaa Division I Football College Athletes With Learning Disabilities, Sarah Stokowski, Heather Blunt-Vinti, Robin Hardin, Benjamin D. Goss, Megan Turk

Journal of Issues in Intercollegiate Athletics

While 11% of all college students are reported to have a learning disability (National Center for Education Statistics, 2016), that percentage may be considerably higher when looking at National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I college athletes. Farrey (2009) reported as many as 54% of athletes on three revenue-producing teams at one institution had documented learning disabilities. Many students with learning disabilities are academically underprepared for the rigors of higher education and may be considered a vulnerable population within a higher education setting (Eckes & Ochoa, 2005). The purpose of this study is to examine Division I Football Bowl Series …


Resisting Resistance: Activism In/And The Political Economy Of Intercollegiate Athletics, Anthony J. Weems, Yannick Kluch Jun 2024

Resisting Resistance: Activism In/And The Political Economy Of Intercollegiate Athletics, Anthony J. Weems, Yannick Kluch

Journal of Issues in Intercollegiate Athletics

Drawing from political economic analysis, this essay argues the structural and ideological function of college sport is to maintain hegemonic order in the face of athlete activism. Briefly outlining the political economy of college sport, the authors point to how this political economy actively constrains athlete activism as a counter-hegemonic challenge. The authors discuss implications in the context of scholarly activism and call for a more radical, integrative orientation to research and teaching in relation to sporting activism(s). In doing so, this essay argues there is potential to challenge hegemonic structures that minimize agency and ultimately reshape the political economy …

First, this article reviews literature that illustrates how Black women college athlete navigate higher education. Second, the article identifies how place, race, gender, and space within higher education exclude and limit Black women college athletes.

In The Shadows No More: Making A Case For Black College Assistant Football Coaches As Strategic Hybrid Resistors In And Through Sport, Jonathan E. Howe Jun 2024

In The Shadows No More: Making A Case For Black College Assistant Football Coaches As Strategic Hybrid Resistors In And Through Sport, Jonathan E. Howe

Journal of Issues in Intercollegiate Athletics

Within the discussion of sport activism, athletes often garner the most attention. However, other athletic stakeholders also engage in broader forms of resistance – one group being Black college assistant football coaches. I utilize a hermeneutical phenomenology methodological approach to examine the relationship between the experiences of Black college assistant football coaches and resistance in and through sport. Eight coaches engaged in semi-structured interviews, and their experiences were interpreted through the combined frameworks of critical race theory and African American resistance typology by Cooper (2021). My interpretation uncovered that Black college assistant football coaches are strategic hybrid resistors engaging in …


Intergenerational Activism In College Sport: A Critical Examination Of The Civil Rights, Black Power, And Black Lives Matter Movement Eras, Joseph N. Cooper, Ajhanai C.I. Keaton, Cherese F. Fine Jun 2024

Intergenerational Activism In College Sport: A Critical Examination Of The Civil Rights, Black Power, And Black Lives Matter Movement Eras, Joseph N. Cooper, Ajhanai C.I. Keaton, Cherese F. Fine

Journal of Issues in Intercollegiate Athletics

The purpose of this manuscript is to examine the influence of activism in and through college sport during two prominent eras of Black social movements, the Civil Rights movement (CRM) and Black Power movement (BPM) of 1950s-1970s and the Black Lives Matter movement (BLMM) of 2010s-2020s. Using a race- and sport-based analytic framework, distinctive forms of activism are examined to highlight similarities and differences in strategies, focal areas, and outcomes across time, space, and context. College sport is a highly visible feature of the United States (U.S.) and thus has served as an influential space for championing equity and racial …


Athlete Activism Through A Bioecological Lens: An Asset-Based Approach To Exploring Athletes’ Moral Development, Daniel Springer, Molly Harry, Wayne L. Black, Jonathan E. Howe Jun 2024

Athlete Activism Through A Bioecological Lens: An Asset-Based Approach To Exploring Athletes’ Moral Development, Daniel Springer, Molly Harry, Wayne L. Black, Jonathan E. Howe

Journal of Issues in Intercollegiate Athletics

Since the onset of the global pandemic, there has been a sharp rise in Division I college athletes using their platforms to address inequity in college athletics. While it is unclear what factors are shaping this trend, understanding why college athletes engage in activism is imperative to better support them as they lean further into this practice. Accordingly, this manuscript seeks to outline a framework for examining activism in and through college sport over time, space, and context by utilizing Bronfenbrenner’s bioecological Process-Person-Context-Time Model. Examining athlete activism provides a mechanism to consider the way power, privilege, and oppression impact athletes’ …


A Framework For Understanding Internal Athlete Activism In College Sport, Jessica K. Brougham, Christopher M. Mcleod Jun 2024

A Framework For Understanding Internal Athlete Activism In College Sport, Jessica K. Brougham, Christopher M. Mcleod

Journal of Issues in Intercollegiate Athletics

Most research on athlete activism has focused on external athlete activism, where high-profile athletes use broadcast media or social media platforms to engage in activism. This paper draws from organizational behavior literature and Cooper et al.’s (2019) operational definition of activism to conceptualize internal athlete activism. Athletes perform internal athlete activism through formal or informal organizational channels with the explicit goal of challenging organizational power structures to advance social justice aims. Internal athlete activism is characterized by 1) internal, upward voice, 2) prosocial intent, 3) a clear opponent, 4) challenging power structures, 5) specific goals or measurable objectives, 6) connection …

Ri2ap: Robust And Interpretable 2d Anomaly Prediction In Assembly Pipelines, Chathurangi Shyalika, Kaushik Roy, Renjith Prasad, Fadi El Kalach, Yuxin Zi, Priya Mittal, Vignesh Narayanan, Ramy Harik, Amit Sheth

Publications

Predicting anomalies in manufacturing assembly lines is crucial for reducing time and labor costs and improving processes. For instance, in rocket assembly, premature part failures can lead to significant financial losses and labor inefficiencies. With the abundance of sensor data in the Industry 4.0 era, machine learning (ML) offers potential for early anomaly detection. However, current ML methods for anomaly prediction have limitations, with F1 measure scores of only 50% and 66% for prediction and detection, respectively. This is due to challenges like the rarity of anomalous events, scarcity of high-fidelity simulation data (actual data are expensive), and the complex …


Duality Of Ensemble Systems Through Moment Representations, Vignesh Narayanan, Wei Zhang, Jr-Shin Li May 2024

Duality Of Ensemble Systems Through Moment Representations, Vignesh Narayanan, Wei Zhang, Jr-Shin Li

Publications

Controlling large-scale dynamic population systems, known as ensemble control, is a pervasive and essential task in many emerging applications from diverse scientific domains. Previous focuses in the area of ensemble control have been placed on seeking open-loop control strategies due to unavailability of state feedback information for each individual system in the ensemble. In this paper, we develop a foundational framework for analysis and control of ensemble systems with closed feedback control loops. We introduce the notion of ensemble moments and construct moment systems associated with the ensemble systems. By extending the classical moment problem in mathematical analysis and statistics, …

Evaluating The Impact Of Rapid Response Electroencephalogram In Post-Cardiac Arrest Patients, Lauren Lee Steffen

Doctor of Nursing Practice Scholarly Projects

Problem Statement: Timely diagnosis and treatment of nonconvulsive seizures (NCS) and nonconvulsive status epilepticus (NCSE) are critical for improving patient outcomes after a cardiac arrest. However, NCSE can only be confirmed with an electroencephalogram (EEG), which is either considerably delayed or unavailable in the Emergency Department and Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Purpose: This project aimed to describe the impact of a rapid response electroencephalogram (rrEEG) brain monitor on improving time- to- acquisition and length of stay in the Intensive Care Unit for post-resuscitated cardiac arrest survivors; additionally, does rrEEG increase nurse's knowledge and confidence in managing complex seizure patterns?
