No. 18: The State Of Food Insecurity In Blantyre City, Malawi, Peter Mvula, Asiyati Chiweza

African Food Security Urban Network

Chronic food insecurity is considered to be one of the most important challenges facing the people and government of Malawi. Most attention tends to be given to the rural areas where the majority of the population live and where the prevalence of food insecurity is highest. However, Malawi is urbanizing at a rapid rate and those who move to the cities do not automatically become food secure. Urban food insecurity is likely to increase and therefore it is important for policy-makers to begin to think about this issue. AFSUN’s study of food insecurity in the city of Blantyre, Malawi’s industrial …

Academic Incivility In Nursing Education, Sherrie Marlow

Nursing Theses and Capstone Projects

A well-documented and growing problem impacting the nursing shortage in the United States is the increasing shortage of qualified nursing faculty. Many factors contribute to the nursing faculty shortage such as retirement, dissatisfaction with the nursing faculty role and low salary compensation (American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN), 2005; Allen, 2008; National League of Nursing (NLN), 2010; American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN), 2011). Academic incivility has been identified as contributing to nursing faculty role dissatisfaction (Clark & Springer 2010). Academic incivility diminishes the presence of a caring environment, lowers an individual's self-esteem, and negatively impacts the formation …

Comunicación E Interculturalidad. Reflexiones En Torno A Una Relación Indisoluble., Marta Rizo García

Global Media Journal México

La comunicación intercultural ha sido definida como cualquier situación comunicativa donde interactúan al menos dos personas con matrices culturales-geográficas distintas. Otras definiciones amplían la noción de interculturalidad y consideran motivos de distinción que trascienden lo geográfico e incluyen dimensiones como la clase social, la edad, el género, la ideología y la preferencia sexual. En todo caso, la clave de la comunicación intercultural es la interacción con lo diferente, con lo que objetiva y, sobre todo, subjetivamente, se percibe como distinto. Así, la comunicación y la interculturalidad mantienen una relación indisoluble. Vale la pena, entonces, preguntarse: ¿Cuál es el papel de …

La Producción De Noticias Ambientales En La Prensa Local Argentina: Agenda Periodística Y Criterios De Noticiabilidad, Luis González Alcaraz

Global Media Journal México

El presente trabajo tiene por objetivo presentar los avances empíricos de un estudio sobre los criterios que un grupo de periodistas de la ciudad argentina de Rosario utilizan en la producción de noticias ambientales. Se trata de una investigación cualitativa que ha recurrido al uso de entrevistas semiestructuradas con periodistas locales para indagar la relevancia que los temas vinculados al medio ambiente poseen en la agenda periodística, así como los criterios de noticiabilidad asociados a la producción de textos informativos sobre dichos temas. Los resultados obtenidos apuntan que las cuestiones ambientales poseen una baja relevancia en el entramado de prioridades …

Las Debilidades Estratégicas De Los Grandes Grupos Españoles De Comunicación Y Su Viabilidad Futura, José Vicente García Santamaría

Global Media Journal México

El desarrollo de los grandes grupos de comunicación en España ha tenido como uno de sus principales ejes la implantación de estrategias de integración vertical, horizontal y multimedia, como una medida eficaz de obtener mayores sinergias y economías de escala y de protegerse también contra posibles agresiones de sus competidores, tanto internos como externos. Pero esta obsesión por la dimensión empresarial se ha desarrollado en un entorno económico desfavorable, y con una constante apelación a procesos de “apalancamiento financiero”, que han llevado a que los principales grupos españoles contraigan grandes deudas con el sector bancario. Todo ello, unido a una …

The Beast Had To Marry Balinda: Using Story Examples To Explore Socializing Concepts In Ugandan Caregivers’ Oral Stories, Valeda Dent, Geoff Goodman

Brooklyn Library Faculty Publications

Within the context of storytelling as oral tradition, this paper uses a grounded theory approach to explore a single research question about the socializing concepts found in examples of stories told to young children by their mothers and grandmothers in a rural Ugandan village. These story examples were gathered during the implementation of a socio-educational intervention project. The aims of this paper are to provide a descriptive analysis of the emergent themes and constructs in these story examples against the backdrop of a relevant theoretical framework and life in this rural Ugandan village.

Legality, Criminality And Agency Beyond The State: Forest Governance, Illegal Logging And Associated Trade, Lorraine Elliott

Transnational Business Governance Interactions Working Papers

This paper examines the disconnect between the literature on and practice of legality verification (LV) in the forest sector and what would seem to be a logical extension into the literature on and responses to forest crime and, more specifically, transnational criminality associated with trade in illegally logged timber. The apparently logical overlap between these two areas of endeavour arises because both are dealing with aspects of supply chains or chains of custody involving raw timber, forest products or timber products more generally. The disconnect, I suggest here, arises because of a lack of 'joined up thinking' between the two …

Public-Private Regime Interactions In Global Food Safety Governance, Ching-Fu Lin

Transnational Business Governance Interactions Working Papers

In response to an apparent decline in global food safety, numerous public and private regulatory initiatives have emerged to restore public confidence. This trend has been particularly marked by the growing influence of private regulators such as multinational food companies, supermarket chains and non-governmental organizations (NGOs), who employ private standards, certification protocols, third-party auditing, and transnational contracting practices. This paper explores how the structure and processes of private food safety governance interact with traditional public governance regimes, focusing on Global Good Agricultural Practices (GlobalGAP) as a primary example of the former. Due to the inefficiency and ineffectiveness of public regulation …

Librarian Mentoring Of An Undergraduate Research Project, Pamela Hayes-Bohanan

Maxwell Library Faculty Publications

Bridgewater State University has a dynamic, highly visible, and increasingly successful Office of Undergraduate Research (OUR) that supports students and their faculty mentors with developing research opportunities. Students working on undergraduate research projects have sought the help of librarians, but the librarians had never been directly involved as mentors. A librarian mentor and student library worker collaborated on a project to develop an online library guide, which is used by faculty and student researchers for discovering social justice resources, and found new paths to teaching and learning information literacy skills.

Renewable Resource Extraction: Experimental Analysis Of Resource Management Policies Under Assumptions Of Resource Migration, Kevin B. Lugo

Gettysburg Economic Review

This paper presents research using a spatially explicit and dynamic common pool resource experiment to compare renewable resource extraction behavior between four treatments combining (1) open access and sole ownership institutions with (2) mobility and non-mobility of the renewable resource. The primary purpose of this research is to test the theory that introducing resource mobility into a sole ownership regime will remove the incentive for subjects to maximize the resource, instead causing them to revert to the myopic strategy predicted for the open access regime. I also test the hypothesis that open access firms are indifferent to resource dispersal. The …

Warriors, Machismo, And Jockstraps: Sexually Exploitative Athletic Hazing And Title Ix In The Public School Locker Room, Susan P. Stuart

Law Faculty Publications

Sexually exploitative athletic hazing on boys’ athletic teams is an increasingly frequent feature in the news. The physical and psychological abuse of younger team members by those who are more senior is not just humiliating but dangerous. Indeed, some athletes are charged with crimes that are committed during hazing activities. More to the point, the features of sexually exploitative hazing have all the earmarks of sexual harassment when team leaders use sexual assaults to keep younger members in their place by feminizing them or otherwise challenging their ability to conform to a hegemonic masculine sports stereotype. Athletic hazing’s part in …

Our Failing Food System: Productivity Versus Sustainability, Alyson Murphy

Student Theses 2001-2013

The United States food system is a complex intersection of the activities, people and resources that are involved in feeding the American population. Americans’ relationship with food includes our perception, consumption, and production of it—all of which are aspects that affect the quality of our overall food system. However, our current food system is by no means perfect; rather, it is crucially flawed and requires vast improvements in order to become a healthy and truly nourishing organism. With significant changes in the direction of sustainability, the American food system can become beneficial to the American people, land, and economy by …
