Rapid Assessment Of Domestic Minor Sex Trafficking In The Clearwater/Tampa Bay Area, Joan Reid
Rapid Assessment Of Domestic Minor Sex Trafficking In The Clearwater/Tampa Bay Area, Joan Reid
USF St. Petersburg campus Faculty Publications
Domestic Minor Sex Trafficking (DMST) is the commercial sexual exploitation of American citizen or lawful permanent resident children. This Rapid Assessment (RA) completed in January 2008 explored the identification of DMST victims, their access to, and the delivery of victim services. Findings suggest an acute lack of awareness or understanding of DMST among professionals likely to come in contact with victims, resulting in failure to identify DMST victims. Few DMST victims are accessing existing services due to their misidentification. Exacerbating this issue is a lack of victim-centered protocols for child sex trafficking criminal cases, leading to a failure in the …

This paper examines the diverse nature of user reactions to information technology (IT) within the social-historical context of its organizational use. Employing activity theory as a conceptual framework, we conduct an interpretive analysis of physicians work, perceptions, and IT usage experience at a large community hospital to understand why some of these physicians were favorably disposed toward IT use while others were not. This study complements prior positivistic analyses of IT usage that explain similarities in usage patterns within a user population, by using an interpretive lens to explain differences in usage patterns. Further, we contribute methodologically to the literature …

Using Science Notebooks To Improve Writing Skills And Conceptual Understanding., Malcolm B. Butler, Catherine Nesbit
USF St. Petersburg campus Faculty Publications
The purpose of this article is to provide teachers with strategies for improving students' writing and deepening their conceptual understanding through the use of science notebooks. The strategies include using various resources and providing a variety of feedback opportunities for students. A sample science investigation and an accompanying science notebook entry illustrate these strategies.
Testing Classification Systems For Reference Questions, Deborah Boran Henry, Tina M. Neville
Testing Classification Systems For Reference Questions, Deborah Boran Henry, Tina M. Neville
USF St. Petersburg campus Faculty Publications
Two reference question classification systems were tested using data from a small academic library. Results indicate that a skill/strategy based approach, rather than a system based on resources used or time allocated per question, leads to more consistent classification and provides a more accurate reflection of today's reference desk activity.
The Overreliance On Analyst Experience In The Selection Of Requirements Elicitation Techniques., Robert M. Fuller, Christopher Davis
The Overreliance On Analyst Experience In The Selection Of Requirements Elicitation Techniques., Robert M. Fuller, Christopher Davis
USF St. Petersburg campus Faculty Publications
This study applies theory Channel Expansion Theory to assess factors that influence analyst perceptions of the richness of requirements elicitation techniques. These perceptions of richness are of interest as communication research has shown that richness perceptions are related to selection and effective use of communication channels. We find that an analyst's experience with a requirements elicitation technique is the strongest predictor of perceived richness from using that technique. Experience communicating with the informant was only marginally significant. Results from an initial analysis suggest further that analysts (in this organization) have a great deal of discretion in technique selection, and apply …
Evaluation Of 1,3,5 Trimethylbenzene Degradation In The Detailed Tropospheric Chemistry Mechanism, Mcmv3.1, Using Environmental Chamber Data, A. Metzger, J. Dommen, J. Duplissy, A. S.H. Prevot, J. Kleffmann, Yasin F. Elshorbany, A. Wisthaler, U. Baltensperger

The degradation mechanism of 1,3,5-trimethyl-benzene (TMB) as implemented in the Master Chemical Mechanism version 3.1 (MCM) was evaluated using data from the environmental chamber at the Paul Scherrer Institute. The results show that the MCM provides a consistent description of the photo-oxidation of TMB/NO(x) mixtures for a range of conditions. In all cases the agreement between the measurement and the simulation decreases with decreasing VOC-NO(x) ratio and in addition with increasing precursor concentration. A significant underestimation of the decay rate of TMB and thus underestimation of reactivity in the system, consistent with results from previous appraisals of the MCM, was …

When it comes to employment-related litigation, human resource (HR) professionals are a business organization's first line of defense. Lawsuits by employees alleging wrongful termination, harassment or discrimination constitute a significant threat to a business. Although many employees are at-will meaning that they can be terminated at any time for any reason, exceptions exist which create the basis for wrongful termination claims. These exceptions also raise the business' risk to be sued for termination decisions. In this article, we briefly review the exceptions to employment-at-will which create the basis for wrongful termination claims. In their quest for documenting a "good cause" …
