Using Advancements In Cable-Trapping To Overcome Barriers To Furbearer Management In The United States, Stephen Vantassel, Tim L. Hiller, Kelly D. J. Powell, Scott E. Hygnstrom
Using Advancements In Cable-Trapping To Overcome Barriers To Furbearer Management In The United States, Stephen Vantassel, Tim L. Hiller, Kelly D. J. Powell, Scott E. Hygnstrom
School of Natural Resources: Faculty Publications
Harvest of furbearers through trapping has been challenged by anti-trapping organizations for centuries, with organizational goals often including prohibition of all forms of trapping. Challenges to trapping may also include dissention among state wildlife agencies, pro-hunting organizations, and pro-trapping organizations. Despite recent efforts by anti-trapping organizations and occasional dissention among consumptive-use groups, national trends in snaring regulations included less restrictive regulations through time. This positive trend may offer opportunities for state wildlife agencies and pro-trapping organizations to enhance the public image of trapping, increase recruitment of trappers, and reverse the increasing trend of wildlife damage and associated costs. We offer …

Lost In Translation? How The Culture(S) Of The Technological University Dublin (Dit) Could Be Analysed Via A Lens Of Critical Discourse Analysis (Cda) Of Its Strategic Plan, And Other Documents, During Its Transition To Grangegorman, Ann Conway
Other resources
This paper discusses some of the theoretical foundations to critical discourse analysis (CDA) and will review the principles of CDA. It will attempt to answer how CDA can be understood and what conceptual tools it offers as a lens to view DIT’s changing culture and role in education and society during its transition to Grangegorman. This move from multiple sites to a ‘one size fits all’ campus is believed to be about better servicing the needs of society by ‘supporting the economic, social and cultural life of its people in one main campus’ (DEGW, 2009). CDA focuses on the links …
Reminiscence Of An Elderly Woman: An Artistic Inquiry, Cathy Gamby-Weideman
Reminiscence Of An Elderly Woman: An Artistic Inquiry, Cathy Gamby-Weideman
Creative Arts Therapies Theses
This thesis explores the clinical value to the elderly population of combining reminiscence and dance. This five month collaboration between a recently widowed elderly female and a dance/movement therapy intern culminated in a 13 minute choreographed dance performance. Themes that emerged during this art-based study were her relationship with her husband, her role as his primary caregiver and her grief after his death. Eric Erikson identifies integrity vs. despair as the struggle or crisis to be grappled with in the last stage of human development, old age. This theoretical framework has been incorporated in this study.

Impact Of Image Personalization On Response Rate Of Direct Mail Advertising, Dandan Wang
Impact Of Image Personalization On Response Rate Of Direct Mail Advertising, Dandan Wang
Theses
With widespread adoption of full-color digital presses in the commercial printing industry, personalization has been enabled to create one-to-one marketing communication to enhance the effectiveness of print media advertising. Prior researches showed an increase in response rates with data-driven personalized direct mailings. However, the impact of image personalization on response rate of direct mail advertising is still unknown. This research used an experimental design to test the impact of image personalization on response rate of direct mail advertising. A direct mail postcard campaign was created with three levels of personalization (black-and-white name-only personalization, full-color name-only personalization, full-color name and image …
Gender Differences In Sitting Positions Of College Students And An Explanation Of These Differences, Celie Morin, Jessica Maxfield
Gender Differences In Sitting Positions Of College Students And An Explanation Of These Differences, Celie Morin, Jessica Maxfield
Perspectives
This article explores the differences in the sitting positions of college men and women. After conducting unobtrusive observations of 83 students at the University of New Hampshire, we analyzed our data and found that there are differences in the way men and women sit. Men tend to sit in open positions while women tend to sit in closed positions. Differences in leg positions were more notable than differences in arm positions. In regard to arm and leg combinations, the most common combination for men was open arm/open leg. There were no significant differences between arm and leg combinations of women. …
The Indirect Effects Of Family Structure On Drug Use In Adolescents, Maureen Corsetti
The Indirect Effects Of Family Structure On Drug Use In Adolescents, Maureen Corsetti
Perspectives
This paper focuses on explaining the significant relationship between family structure and adolescent drug abuse. Significant differences in drug abuse frequency and patterns among adolescents living in two-parent, step-parent, and single-parent households does not show to be directly related to family structure, but rather attributable to the variation of social controls and family processes that occur among the diverse types of households. My thesis is that adolescents living in two-biological-parent households will be less likely to participate in drug abuse than adolescents living in one-parent or step-parent households because there is more supervision and monitoring as well as a better …

Family, Peers And School Programs And The Influence On Juvenile Marijuana Use, Victoria Vinciguerra
Perspectives
Drug use has is a common form of deviance among adolescents. This paper focuses on the different ways that social institutions try to positively or negatively influence juveniles from becoming involved in drug use. I will provide evidence on school programs and give conclusions on the helpfulness of them. I will also write about the parent-child relationship and whether or not this is a main influence of substance abuse. Finally, the peer group will be analyzed to determine how much of an effect they might have. These three factors will be explored throughout the content of this literature review. By …
Why Are Students Dropping Out Of School? The Factors That Contribute To The United States High School Dropout Rate, Christopher Lund
Why Are Students Dropping Out Of School? The Factors That Contribute To The United States High School Dropout Rate, Christopher Lund
Perspectives
With a very fluctuating economy and an unstable job market, a high school diploma as well as a continued education is becoming extremely important. An increasing amount of businesses will not even consider a job application unless a person has a high school diploma. The Bureau of Labor Statistics contains data showing the increase in opportunities that a person with a high school diploma has in comparison to a person that has dropped out of high school. The data shows that only 55% of high school dropouts were employed from the year 2000 through 2005 as opposed to 71% of …
The Failure Of Drinking Age Laws, Claire Hanchey
The Failure Of Drinking Age Laws, Claire Hanchey
Perspectives
The Minimum Legal Drinking Age was set at 21 after the passing of the National Minimum Drinking Age Act (NMDAA) of 1984. The NMDAA “required all states to raise their purchase and public possession of alcohol age to 21, or risk losing federal highway funds under the Federal Highway Aid Act” (Drinking 2002: 2). By 1987, all 50 states were on board and the MLDA was established. Since then, there are many reasons and statistics that pro-MLDA advocates point to as evidence that drinking age laws are successful, useful, and beneficial to society. However, for each point supporters make, there …
Research On How The Media Can Impact Donations From Its Viewers And How It Does So, Kristina Moritz, Kate Newman
Research On How The Media Can Impact Donations From Its Viewers And How It Does So, Kristina Moritz, Kate Newman
Perspectives
Without media and especially the news, society would have no way of being informed about anything outside of their own lives. This research focuses on how the media can impact donations from its viewers and how it does so. It will touch on types of advertising imagery, how people donate and where they mostly send their donations to, and what types of news stories are the most successful in provoking a person to donating. We found that from the people surveyed, most people donate by text or online, get their news from online, and would rather donate to community destruction. …

Cash For Clunkers: Did It Work Or Not?, Anthony Clark, Annette Najjar, Ralph Wiedner
The Confluence (2009-2020)
The Consumer Assistance to Recycle and Save Act of 2009 (CARS) was supposed to stimulate the American economy with incentives to trade in old gas-guzzling cars for new, more efficient ones. Three economists examine the impact of this program that came to be called “Cash for Clunkers” on the St. Charles County, Missouri, economy.

How Natural Is Nature? The Effect Of Burning On Presettlement Vegetation In West-Central Illinois, Paul Kilburn, Richard C. Brugam
The Confluence (2009-2020)
When the first Euroamericans arrived in North America, they thought they were seeing a “wilderness,” unaltered by human hands. However, they were actually seeing highly managed environments. Kilburn and Brugam examine the impact of the burning of forests and prairies by Native Americans on the plant species in west-central Illinois.

The Prevalence Of Technology, Greg Townsend
The Prevalence Of Technology, Greg Townsend
Undergraduate Psychology Research Methods Journal
The current study at hand administered a survey to determine the prevalence of technology and Internet usage in undergraduate college students. The results of a survey administered to 66 participants revealed that just about two-thirds of the students may have or had an excessive problem, which could be related to several aspects such as age, gender, class status, country of origin, and so on. The results did allow the research to support the hypothesis that stated if someone in college were given a technology and Internet addiction survey, then he/she would report that he/she is in fact addicted to the …
The Performance Of Multiple Imputation For Likert-Type Items With Missing Data, Walter Leite, S. Natasha Beretvas
The Performance Of Multiple Imputation For Likert-Type Items With Missing Data, Walter Leite, S. Natasha Beretvas
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
The performance of multiple imputation (MI) for missing data in Likert-type items assuming multivariate normality was assessed using simulation methods. MI was robust to violations of continuity and normality. With 30% of missing data, MAR conditions resulted in negatively biased correlations. With 50% missingness, all results were negatively biased.

An Evaluation Of Multiple Imputation For Meta-Analytic Structural Equation Modeling, Carolyn F. Furlow, S. Natasha Beretvas
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
A simulation study was used to evaluate multiple imputation (MI) to handle MCAR correlations in the first step of meta-analytic structural equation modeling: the synthesis of the correlation matrix and the test of homogeneity. No substantial parameter bias resulted from using MI. Although some SE bias was found for meta-analyses involving smaller numbers of studies, the homogeneity test was never rejected when using MI.

Rap Music Lyrics And The Construction Of Violent Identities, Rachel Durgin
Perspectives
This paper explores the relationship between lyrical rap music content and the construction of an adolescent‟s social identity. The lyrical content of rap music is one form of violence in the mainstream media. I will give a background of rap music content, the origins and messages behind the lyrics, then evidence to show how these lyrics affect an adolescent identity formation. Finally I will show evidence in which these lyrics affect adolescents of different races. My thesis is that the lyrics in rap music are a reflection of an oppositional culture and can therefore aid in shaping an adolescent‟s violent …
