The Built Environment, Justin Gundlach, Jennier Klein

Sabin Center for Climate Change Law

The built environment, which includes not only buildings but infrastructure, mediates several important climate impacts on public health and is also subject to diverse legal requirements. It is a subject of particular focus for policy efforts aimed at promoting adaptive responses to climate change on the part of institutions and individuals. This chapter presents key examples of public health impacts that arise from climate change but are mediated – possibly mitigated, possibly exacerbated - by elements of the built environment. It also describes the process and substance of adaptive responses to those impacts. Having presented these physical and policy contexts …

Research & Publications

Diabetes is a debilitating chronic condition that is touted to inflict 9% of adults. Despite the information technology (IT) solutions for the self-management of diabetes, there is a gap between user expectations, and what the IT solutions are offering. To understand these expectations, this research investigates the topics shared by a diabetic community on Twitter as an instant day-to-day micro-blogging platform and TuDiabetes as a social media forum for the community. We focus on studying personal experiences related to diabetes through adapt and apply text mining techniques to tweets of self-identified diabetic patients on Twitter and TuDiabetes.

The Determinant Of Selfless Misuse Intention And The Role Of System Resilience Under The Context Of Disasters, Insu Park, Dheyaaldin Alsalman

Research & Publications

The extant literature has investigated how individuals engage in inappropriate behaviors based on the rational choice theory (RCT), and the neutralization theory under normal situations, however it has given little consideration to how individuals engage in inappropriate behaviors under the context of disasters. To fill this research gap, we propose a selfless misuse model, which offers a theoretical explanation for the impact of the concept of bounded rationality on individuals’ selfless misuse intention under the context of disasters. In addition, to reduce this misuse behavior, we aim to investigate the role of system resilience in assisting employees to make better …

Classifying Facts And Opinions In Twitter Messages: A Deep Learning-Basedapproach, Ronghua Shan, Swayambhu P. Chatterjee, Shuyuan Deng, Jun Liu, Wu Jiao

Research & Publications

Massive social media data present businesses with an immense opportunity to extract useful insights. However, social media messages typically consist of both facts and opinions, posing a challenge to analytics applications that focus more on either facts and opinions. Distinguishing facts and opinions may significantly improve subsequent analytics tasks. In this study, we propose a deep learning-based algorithm that automatically separates facts from opinions in Twitter messages. The algorithm outperformed multiple popular baselines in an experiment we conducted. We further applied the proposed algorithm to track customer complaints and found that it indeed benefits subsequent analytics applications.

Anchoring Female Millennial Students In An It Career Path: The Class Anchor Model, Pam Rowland, Cherie Noteboom

Research & Publications

Goals and desires are strong incentives for careers and life choices. When goals and desires are not met, change often occurs. Women are leaving the IT profession two times faster than men and often within the first twelve years of employment. Women are also underrepresented in the IT profession with only 25 percent of the current jobs being held by women. This study examines how organizations can retain females in IT professions through motivational anchors. While there are research studies that have investigated the gender gap, there is a need to investigate female millennial students’ relationship to IT through their …

Toward Understanding Customer Preference Factors In Agile - A Research Plan, David Bishop, Pam Rowland

Research & Publications

Our research plan is designed to discover factors that influence, positively or negatively, customer’s preference for agile software development. We will employ qualitative research techniques, specifically grounded theory, as our research method. Customers are an essential component of the agile approach and merit additional study on their preference for software projects developed using agile techniques. The results of our research will present emergent constructs that influence customer preference for agile development. These constructs can then be analyzed using quantitative techniques to assess their validity and understand their relationships.

How Ecs Improve Creative Use Of Employees’ Knowledge?, Vetrivadivel Vel, Insu Park

Research & Publications

Recently, organizations are using crowdsourcing systems (CSs) to collect innovative ideas from their employees harnessing their insights of companies’ products, processes, customers, and competitors. While crowd workers in third-party CSs are a diverse and multifaceted population with a range of motives and experience, and yet few researchers have grappled with the facilitators of the employees’ behavior comprising the creative application of their knowledge using enterprise CSs. This study develops a theoretical framework to identify enterprise CSs role and to provide the way how CSs are related to creative behavior via knowledge sharing. In this research, we used a survey to …
