Interactive Ad Segmentation: Using Implementation Intentions And Social Referral Advertising To Increase Psa Response Efficacy, Walter Hodges Henley

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

Marketing has long been involved with both public policy and advertising. PSAs (public service advertisements) are a unique combination of both streams of research. This study examines and explores the interplay of theory (Regulatory Focus fit and implementation intentions) and emerging technology (interactive advertising and social media ad referral) in order to more effectively segment viewers and thus increase the response efficacy of PSAs. Advertising in general and PSAs in particular are both entering a new era as traditional delivery platforms (print, TV, radio) are increasingly giving way to new media (internet, mobile smart phones) that is more dynamic as …

Situating The Self: Identity And Power Relationships In A Pakistani Esl Classroom, Rooh Ul Amin

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

In Pakistani universities, English plays the key role in students’ upward academic and social mobility; however students do not always enter universities with equal English language skills. This study, therefore, extensively explores the relationship between English language learners’ (ELLs) access to English via prior schooling (public vs. private), participation in classroom discourses and negotiation of identities and power relationships as situated social processes. Informed by Bourdieu’s concept of cultural capital and cultural reproduction complemented with the communities of practice (CoP) approach, this study explores how ELLs’ identity and power relationships in an ESL classroom are shaped by (un)limited cultural capital—the …

Administrative Issues Journal

This study employs a survey of undergraduate business school freshmen to examine factors that influence their decision to study business and whether these factors differ by gender. Specifically, the study examines internal factors, such as students’ perceived aptitudes and interests in the subject; external factors, such as compensation and job availability; and social/interpersonal influences, such as input of teachers, school counselors, parents, and friends. This paper follows up on the authors’ earlier work, which found that despite an increase in the number of male students enrolled in business programs across the nation during the period between 2003 and 2011, female …

Comparison Theorems And Asymptotic Behavior Of Solutions Of Discrete Fractional Equations, Baoguo Jia, Lynn Erbe, Allan Peterson

Department of Mathematics: Faculty Publications

Consider the following n-th order nabla and delta fractional difference equations

rn r (a)x(t) = c(t)x(t), t 2 Na+1, x(a) > 0.

and

Va+v-1x(t) = c(t)x(t + v - 1), t 2 Na, x(a + n - 1) > 0

We establish comparison theorems by which we compare the solutions x(t) of (*) and (**) with the solutions of the equations rn r(a)x(t) = bx(t) and Dn a+v-1x(t) = bx(t + v -1), respectively, where b is a constant. We obtain four asymptotic results, one of them extends the recent result [F. M. Atici, P. W. Eloe, Rocky Mountain J. Math. 41(2011), …

Tracking Location Dependent Advertising Conversions, Senthil Kumar Hariramasamy, Lakshmi Kumar Dabbiru

Defensive Publications Series

An ad conversion system proposes a new type of conversion technique. This technique tracks change conversions such as home and job changes which occurred as a result of advertisements (ads) searched. The system receives a search query from a user at a predetermined location for the user. In response to this search query, the system provides ads to the user. Thereafter, the system can receive a user interaction with one of the ads displayed to the user. After receiving this interaction, the system identifies a change in the predetermined location for the user. Subsequently, the system determines a conversion for …

Bully Or Dupe?: Governor Chris Christie’S Image Repair On The Bridge Lane Closure Scandal, William L. Benoit

Speaker & Gavel

In 2013, two lanes leading to the George Washington Bridge – the busiest in the nation – in Fort Lee, NJ, were closed. In January of 2014, it emerged that Christie’s Deputy Chief of Staff Kelley instigated this problem. Governor Christie was accused of retaliating against Fort Lee’s Mayor Mark Sokolich, who had not endorsed Christie’s re-election bid. Christie fired Kelley, held a press conference, and apologized to Sokolich and the people of Fort Lee. Christie’s primary strategies were mortification and corrective action, but he also used denial, differentiation, minimization, and defeasibility to deal with this situation. Minimization was interesting …

Foreign Policy Rhetoric In The 1992 Presidential Campaign: Bill Clinton’S Exceptionalist Jeremiad, Jason A. Edwards

Speaker & Gavel

This essay examines presidential candidate Bill Clinton’s rhetoric regarding America’s role in the world during the 1992 presidential campaign. Despite the fact that foreign policy was George H.W. Bush’s strength during the campaign, candidate Clinton was able to develop a coherent vision for America’s role in the world that he carried into his presidency. I argue he did so by fusing together the American exceptionalist missions of exemplar and intervention. In doing so, Clinton altered a tension embedded in debates over U.S. foreign policy rhetoric. To further differentiate his candidacy from President Bush, Clinton encased this discourse within a secular …

The Person We Knew: Perceptions Of The Identity Of Loved Ones With Dementia By Family Caregivers, Amber Jannusch, Dena Huisman

Speaker & Gavel

While several studies have looked at the identity of dementia patients, most focus on the point of the view of the patient. However, caretakers’ and family members’ view of the identity of the dementia patient is unstudied. This study attempts to see how family caregivers’ view of their family member’s dementia manifests in communication about the loved one. This study is a preliminary examination of family caregivers’ constructions of the identity of their loved one, revealing that caretakers have one of three views: the patient without an identity, the patient as a different person, or the patient as “not lost” …

Copycat Forensics: How Social Learning Problematizes Intercollegiate Forensic Performances, Alyssa Reid

Speaker & Gavel

This paper highlights noticeable problems stemming from students adopting forensic norms without critiquing practice. Although many pedagogically sound reasons account for some structural similarities in events, many performance choices enacted in forensic competition are not grounded in educational principles but are learned and fostered through social learning. Currently, students can achieve forensic success without developing sound reasons for performance choices. Uncovering the ways in which students, judges, and coaches, produce and reproduce copycat performances can improve overall academic and competitive rigor.
