The Role Of A Community College Writing Center In Preparing An Educated Workforce: A Case Study Of The Itawamba Community College Writing Center, Stephen Kyle Brandon
Theses and Dissertations
Good writing skills are an essential component of a well-educated workforce. The competitive nature of business and industry demands a diversified and educated workforce. This study investigated the intersections of a community college writing center and the writing demands of business and industry in North Mississippi. The research was qualitative and employed observations, interviews, documents, and other artifacts that were relative to the study. The Itawamba Community College (ICC) Writing Center was purposively selected for the case study.

Rejection, Rumination, And Revenge: A Test Of The Relational Goal Pursuit Theory Of Stalking Perpetration, Benjamin A. Fay
Rejection, Rumination, And Revenge: A Test Of The Relational Goal Pursuit Theory Of Stalking Perpetration, Benjamin A. Fay
Theses and Dissertations
Applying Relational Goal Pursuit Theory (RGT), the present study examined the motivations for obsessive relational intrusion (ORI). Participants (n = 509) were randomly assigned to conditions that 1) primed relational or retaliatory goals, then 2) exposed to a negative romantic relationship vignette (relationship disappointment vs. explicit rejection vs. “nice” rejection), and 3) then were either induced to ruminate about the vignette events or were not. Participants reported how likely they would be to think about pursuit (e.g., frequent calls) and aggressive (e.g., threats) ORI. Contrary to expectations, rejection elicited less ORI than the relationship disappointment condition. However, it was found …

Betwixt And Between Past And Present: Cultural And Generic Hybridity In The Fiction Of Mary Yukari Waters, Rania Samir Youssef
Betwixt And Between Past And Present: Cultural And Generic Hybridity In The Fiction Of Mary Yukari Waters, Rania Samir Youssef
Asian American Literature: Discourses & Pedagogies
The cosmopolitan make-up of the American society has yielded cultural hybrid offspring and this cultural hybridity features strongly in contemporary American fiction. Amy Tan and Mary Yukari Waters are both Asian-Americans who portray such hybridity in their short stories which depict the shifting identities of the self. But do the internal categories of gender, race and ethnicity help in the coherence or do they add to the fragmentation of diverse identities? It is the dynamics of this critique of multiple identification and hybrid cultures that is being traced here in this study and how all this is reflected in narrative …
Should I Work Or Should I Borrow? Counterfactual Analysis On The Effect Of Working While Enrolled And Debt On Baccalaureate Completion, Pilar Mendoza
Should I Work Or Should I Borrow? Counterfactual Analysis On The Effect Of Working While Enrolled And Debt On Baccalaureate Completion, Pilar Mendoza
Journal of Student Financial Aid
Using the 2007-2008 National Postsecondary Student Aid Study, this study tested positively the hypothesis that college students are either likely to acquire debt above the national median or work more than 30 hours a week in order to graduate from a four year degree within six years. These results resonate with the theory of academic capitalism, in which higher education has become a private good that students have to purchase despite governmental programs to provide students with financial aid in the form of grants. This finding has important implications for college affordability.

The Birth Of Radio In The American Sector (Rias)And Its Role During The Berlin Blockade, J. David Mecham
The Birth Of Radio In The American Sector (Rias)And Its Role During The Berlin Blockade, J. David Mecham
Theses and Dissertations
The ensuing chaos and power struggles between the East and West following the end of the Second World War in Germany set the stage for the creation of a unique radio station that would broadcast from behind the iron curtain for the duration of the cold war. RIAS, or Radio in the American Sector, would play a key role in the battle over ideology between the West and the Soviet Union. The story of RIAS' birth and development is a unique narrative of unintended consequences as the efforts of the Soviet Union to gain a monopoly over the airwaves of …

Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business
Corporate social responsibility (CSR) among small-medium enterprises (SME) is an overlookedarea, despite the latter’s emerging prominence as an economic player.

Implications and future research directions are discussed.

Niche-Seeking In Influence Maximization With Adversary, Long Foong Liow, Shih-Fen Cheng, Hoong Chuin Lau
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
In hotly contested product categories dominated by a few powerful firms, it is quite common for weaker or late entrants to focus only on particular segments of the whole market. The rationale for such strategy is intuitive: to avoid direct confrontation with heavy-weight firms, and to concentrate in segments where these weaker firms have comparative advantages. In marketing, this is what people called “go niche or go home". The niche-building strategy may rely on “homophily", which implies that consumers in a particular market segment might possess certain set of attributes that cause them to appreciate certain products better (in other …

Wal-Mart, Shopko Cart Gathering: A Case For Smith V. City Of Jackson Adea Disparate Impact? , Michael J. Myers
Marquette Elder's Advisor
This article explores the effects on older workers and job applicants caused by proposed and existing policies of big-box retailers to require physical activities in job descriptions for the purpose of lowering health-care costs. The effects of ADEA decisions and the concepts of disparate treatment, disparate impact, and business necessity frame the discussion of how older workers will be affected.
