The Criminal Justice System’S Impact On Marginalized Communities And Efforts To Promote Equity And Justice, Derek Moore Feb 2024

The Criminal Justice System’S Impact On Marginalized Communities And Efforts To Promote Equity And Justice, Derek Moore

Tampa Library Faculty and Staff Publications

This study examines the profound implications of criminal justice systems on marginalized communities. It also explores the numerous efforts to augment equity and justice within the systems. This paper critically analyzes the primary factors contributing to the disproportionate representation of marginalized persons within the criminal justice system, like system prejudices, racial categorization, and socio-economic inequities. The article accentuates the detrimental impacts of the disparities on marginalized populations, like perpetuating poverty cycles, stigmatization, and limited access to prospects. The paper examines the role played by mandatory minimum sentencing, cash bail, police militarization, and restorative justice. The article adopts a qualitative literature …


Meaningful Work And Job Burnout Among Frontline Employees Of Classified Hotels In Nairobi City County, Kenya: Does Gender Identity Matter?, John Kahuthu Gitau, Rosemarie Ayuma Khayiya, Vincent Nyamari Maranga Feb 2024

Meaningful Work And Job Burnout Among Frontline Employees Of Classified Hotels In Nairobi City County, Kenya: Does Gender Identity Matter?, John Kahuthu Gitau, Rosemarie Ayuma Khayiya, Vincent Nyamari Maranga

Journal of Global Hospitality and Tourism

This study investigates the impact of meaningful work on job burnout (JBO) among frontline employees in Nairobi City County. Data was collected from 309 employees in various hotel categories ranging from two- to five-star-rated hotels. The present study applied the conservation of resources (COR) theory to develop a framework. It found that positive meaning in work had inverse relationships with all aspects of JBO. The negative influence of meaning-making through work significantly affected emotional exhaustion (EE) but not depersonalization (DP) and reduced personal accomplishment (RPA). The study recommends that operators and managers of classified hotels recognize the importance of boosting …


Generative Artificial Intelligence (Gai) In Hospitality And Tourism Marketing: Perceptions, Risks, Benefits, And Policy Implications, Usman Khan, Kashif Ali Khan Feb 2024

Generative Artificial Intelligence (Gai) In Hospitality And Tourism Marketing: Perceptions, Risks, Benefits, And Policy Implications, Usman Khan, Kashif Ali Khan

Journal of Global Hospitality and Tourism

This study investigates the integration of generative artificial intelligence (GAI) into hospitality and tourism marketing and its implications for industry professionals in the United States. This study employed a mixed methods approach, gathering qualitative insights from 20 professionals and quantitative data from a sample of 163 participants. The qualitative study revealed concerns about data privacy, customer trust, and ethical considerations regarding GAI implementation. However, participants acknowledged its potential to enhance personalization, engagement, and operational efficiency. The quantitative study supported these findings by showing a level of concern about risks but agreement on the benefits of GAI. Additionally, the participants were …


Numeracy Tasks: Inspiring Transfer Between Concrete And Abstract Thinking Spaces, Taras Gula, Miroslav Lovric Jan 2024

Numeracy Tasks: Inspiring Transfer Between Concrete And Abstract Thinking Spaces, Taras Gula, Miroslav Lovric

Numeracy

In our paper we build a case for conceptualizing numeracy tasks as distinct from mathematical tasks (or at least as a special type of mathematical task), and for abstraction and interpretation as a set of key activities necessary for designating a numeracy task as being high-quality. We start with an attempt to tame the fuzziness of numeracy and its family members (including quantitative reasoning, quantitative literacy, mathematical literacy, and the word problem cousins) by outlining six areas of consensus gleaned from literature. These provide the foundation for a core mandate of numeracy. We then build our case for the distinctness …


Infusing Quantitative Reasoning Skills Into A Differential Equation Class In An Urban Public Community College, Tanvir Prince Jan 2024

Infusing Quantitative Reasoning Skills Into A Differential Equation Class In An Urban Public Community College, Tanvir Prince

Numeracy

This research centers on implementing Quantitative Reasoning (QR) within a differential equations course at an urban public community college. As a participant in the Numeracy Infusion for College Educators (NICE) faculty development program, I sought to integrate QR skills into my curriculum. Students in the course were introduced to QR goals using real-world data sets, particularly those related to population growth, which aim to enhance their understanding, sharpen their problem-solving abilities, and cultivate a positive perspective on the real-world relevance of mathematics. Preliminary findings indicate varied levels of QR skill development among students. These results underscore the potential benefits of …


Surface Modification Of Poly(4,4'-Oxydiphenilene Pyromellitimide) With Low-Pressure Plasma Treatment, Cihan Aktas Jan 2024

Surface Modification Of Poly(4,4'-Oxydiphenilene Pyromellitimide) With Low-Pressure Plasma Treatment, Cihan Aktas

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

This study explores the change of the wetting characteristics of commercially availablepolyimide (PI), Kapton® HN, films a type of poly(4,4′-oxydiphenylene-pyromellitimide), following treatment with low-pressure plasmas of carbon tetrafluoride (CF4), air, hydrogen (H2), carbon-dioxide (CO2) and oxygen (O2) gases as well as the surface texturing via laser-exposure procedure. The water contact angle (CA) and surface free energy (SFE) of untreated PI films were determined as 82.4°±0.8 and 45.0±0.3 mN/m, respectively. After CF4 plasma gas treatment, the CA value of PI films increased to 110.2°±1.0, while it decreased to 9.3°±2.3 after O2 plasma gas treatment. The surface free energy (SFE) of PI …


Hybrid Electro-Plasmonic Modulation Of Neural Activity With Visible-Light-Sensitive Gold Nanotransducer Interface, Ratka Damnjanovic, Parveen Bazard, Robert Dana Frisina, Venkat Rama Bhethanabotla Jan 2024

Hybrid Electro-Plasmonic Modulation Of Neural Activity With Visible-Light-Sensitive Gold Nanotransducer Interface, Ratka Damnjanovic, Parveen Bazard, Robert Dana Frisina, Venkat Rama Bhethanabotla

USF Patents

A method of modulating neural activity using a combination of electrical and optical stimulation transmitted via a gold nanoparticle covered nanoelectrode is presented. The combination of short-duration green visible light optical pulses with the complementary sub-threshold level electric current pulses are capable of producing action potentials in neurons. Cells were found to have a greater than a 5× survival rate using this hybrid stimulation method as compared to pure plasmonic/optical stimulation. The cell stimulation success rate was 3× greater with hybrid stimulation.
