Information Security Climate And The Assessment Of Information Security Risk Among Healthcare Employees, Stacey Kessler, Shani Pindek, Gary Kleinman, Stephanie A. Andel, Paul E. Spector

Department of Management Faculty Scholarship and Creative Works

Since 2009, over 176 million patients in the United States have been adversely impacted by data breaches affecting Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act–covered institutions. While the popular press often attributes data breaches to external hackers, most breaches are the result of employee carelessness and/or failure to comply with information security policies and procedures. To change employee behavior, we borrow from the organizational climate literature and introduce the Information Security Climate Index, developed and validated using two pilot samples. In this study, four categories of healthcare professionals (certified nursing assistants, dentists, pharmacists, and physician assistants) were surveyed. Likert-type items were …

The Impact Of Social Media Use Motives On Psychological And Sociocultural Adjustment Of International Students, Yiping Ma, Guo-Ming Chen

Communication Studies Faculty Publications

Social media exerts tremendous influence especially on the young generation. Previous research has investigated the important function social media plays in the process of intercultural adjustment. Unfortunately, little attention has been paid to the impact of social media use motivation. While numerous studies of media use motivation centers around mass media, very few examine the impact of social media use motives on intercultural adjustment. To extend this line of research, this study investigates the relationship between social media use motives and intercultural adjustment of international students in the United States. Findings from t-test, correlation, and regression analyses are reported. Directions …

Female Headship And Women’S Work In Nepal, Pratistha Joshi-Rajkarnikar, Smita Ramnarain

Economics Faculty Publications

Literature on household headship has, by and large, tended to homogenize female-headed households (FHHs). We present a mixed methods approach to disaggregating the experiences of female-headed households (FHHs) in the post-conflict period in Nepal. One of four households in Nepal is estimated to be female-headed, either as a result of conflict-related male deaths (de jure, or widow heads) or due to male out-migration (de facto, or wives of migrants). We examine similarities and differences in the work responsibilities and labor market participation of de jure and de facto female heads using quantitative data from the Nepal …

Transitions To Capitalism In Early Modern Europe: Economies In The Era Of Early Globalization, C. 1450 – C. 1820, Robert S. Duplessis

History Faculty Works

Between the end of the Middle Ages and the early nineteenth century, the long-established structures and practices of European trade, agriculture, and industry were disparately but profoundly transformed. Revised, updated, and expanded, this second edition of Transitions to Capitalism in Early Modern Europe narrates and analyses the diverse trends that greatly enlarged European commerce, permanently modified rural and urban production, gave birth to new social classes, remade consumer habits, and altered global economic geographies, culminating in capitalist industrial revolution. Broad in chronological and geographical scope and explicitly comparative, Robert S. DuPlessis' book introduces readers to a wealth of information drawn …

Neandertal Mandibular Molars From Hortus Cave, France: A Comparison Of Crown Shapes Using Elliptical Fourier Analysis, Frank L. Williams, Juliet K. Brophy, Gregory J. Matthews, Emilee Hart, Marie-Antoinette De Lumley, Gaël Becam

Mathematics and Statistics: Faculty Publications and Other Works

Neandertal permanent mandibular molars are well represented at Hortus Cave, France, Sub-Phase IVb and Vb, providing an opportunity to assess intrapopulation and intersite shape variation. We expected the mandibular molars from Hortus cave, comprising Hortus II, Hortus IV, Hortus V and Hortus VI to cluster together, compared to Neandertals close in proximity, such as Malarnaud and La Quina 5 as well as those more distantly located such as Arcysur- Cure 1, Engis 2 and Scladina 4A-1. A single Neolithic cave burial from Maurenne Caverne de la Cave, Belgium (n = 11) is used to contextualize the degree of variation in …

Dance-Off Or A Battle For The Future: Dance Reality Shows In India, Pallabi Chakravorty

Dance Faculty Works

The chapter examines the myriad meanings of dance competitions through the lens of Indian dance reality shows. It discusses reality shows such as Boogie Woogie, Dance India Dance, Naach Dhum Machale, and the production of new hybrid dances and remixes. The symbiotic relationship between Bollywood dance, reality shows, and the television industry creates the new aspirational aesthetics of “remix.” By combining ethnographic research and textual analysis of song-and-dance sequences of Bollywood films and reality shows, the chapter explores the transformation of the mythopoetic bhakti rasa of classical dances into the remix of Bollywood dances. It argues that “item numbers” and …

Seventy Years Of Archaeological Research On California’S Farallon Islands, Torben Rick, Todd Braje, Thomas Wake, Gabriel Sanchez, Robert Delong, Kent Lightfoot

United States Department of Commerce: Staff Publications

The Farallon Islands are a cluster of small islands ∼32 km off the coast of San Francisco Bay. These islands total < 1 km² in area and lack surface freshwater, but are home to scores of breeding seabirds and seals and sea lions. At least three archaeological projects have been conducted on Southeast Farallon, focusing on the islands’ two known archaeological sites (CA-SFR-1 and CASFR- 24), both primarily related to an early nineteenth century Russian fur trade hunting camp with no evidence of prehistoric human occupation. Little has been published on these expeditions despite their implications for understanding colonialism and culture contact, …

Prehistoric Chaco Canyon, New Mexico: Importation Of Meat And Mmaize, Larry V. Benson, Deanna Grimstead, John R. Stein, David A. Rith, Terry L. Plowman

United States Geological Survey: Staff Publications

In a recent paper, Benson and Grimstead (2019) determined that only minimal amounts of maize could have been grown in Chaco Canyon due to its aridity, short growing season, and frequent summer flooding of the valley floor. In this paper it is shown that deer and rabbit densities within semiarid regions such as the Canyon are such that 2300 Canyon residents would eliminate essentially all small and large mammals within a year. This implies that food (meat and maize) must have been imported from one or more outlying areas to feed the Canyon's residential population. This would have entailed ~18,000 …

Chaco Canyon, New Mexico: A Caretaker City And A Pilgrimage Destination, Larry Benson, Deanna N. Grimstead, John R. Stein, David A. Roth, Terry I. Plowman

United States Geological Survey: Staff Publications

Some Southwestern archaeologists continue to ascribe to the hypothesis that Chaco was agriculturally productive to the point that it could support at least a few thousand full-time residents. This paper suggests an alternative hypothesis; i.e., Chaco was marginally productive and could only support a few hundred permanent residents. Isotopic analysis of mammal teeth found in trenches cut through platform mounds fronting Pueblo Bonito indicate the possibility that much of the meat consumed by Chacoan residents and visitors came from higher elevation sites bordering the San Juan Basin. We suggest that resident population estimates based on great house room numbers and …

Defining Choices Redefined: Heroic Life Narratives Of Taiwanese Buddhist Monastics, Hillary Crane

Faculty Publications

The Taiwanese Buddhist monastics in this study confront negative stereotypes that dominate within their wider societal context, and they challenge these stereotypes by positing counter-narratives. After exploring the monastics’ interest in proselytizing both to me and to a wider audience as a context that influences the interview encounter, this chapter focuses on the monastics’ response to negative stereotypes and their endeavors to craft a new, positive image of monastics. I argue that they employ the heroic trope of the da zhangfu (大丈夫, ‘great man’) to reconceive as heroic the life choices they have made that wider Taiwanese society characterizes as …

Crossed Tracks: Mesolimulus, Archaeopteryx, And The Nature Of Fossils, Leonard Finkelman

Faculty Publications

Organisms leave a variety of traces in the fossil record. Among these traces, vertebrate and invertebrate paleontologists conventionally recognize a distinction between the remains of an organism’s phenotype (body fossils) and the remains of an organism’s life activities (trace fossils). The same convention recognizes body fossils as biological structures and trace fossils as geological objects. This convention explains some curious practices in the classification, as with the distinction between taxa for trace fossils and for tracemakers. I consider the distinction between “parallel taxonomies,” or parataxonomies, which privileges some kinds of fossil taxa as “natural” and others as “artificial.” The motivations …

The United States First Climate Relocation: Recognition, Relocation, And Indigenous Rights At The Isle De Jean Charles, Adam Crepelle

Belmont Law Review

While this article focuses almost exclusively on the Isle de Jean Charles relocation, it hopes to be useful to other climate induced relocations. Section I begins with a discussion of the two major factors contributing to the disappearance of Louisiana’s coast, the blocking of the Mississippi River and the oil industry. In Section II, the article provides an overview of federal recognition, a short history of Louisiana’s coastal tribes, and how being denied federal recognition has impacted them. Section III compares federal Indian law with the rights of indigenous peoples under international law, along with a discussion of the numerous …

Max Weber Meets The Fair Housing Act: 'Life Chances' And The Need For Expanded Lost Housing Opportunity Damages, Christopher C. Ligatti

Belmont Law Review

This article will discuss the work of sociologist Max Weber, pioneer of the term “life chances,”and how the field of life chances has been adopted and expanded into placed-based theories such as “neighborhood effects” and the “geography of opportunity.” This article will then give a brief overview of the purpose of the Fair Housing Act and how its passage was not meant simply to combat offensive behavior, but to increase residential mobility. This article will also discuss how “lost housing opportunity” has previously been used by the courts. This section of the article will include a discussion of United States …

Management Of A Patient With Euryprosopic Face And Upper Central Diastema, Chung-Teng Chang, Yi-Min Liu, Yuen-Yung Tsang, Huei-Mei Tsai

Taiwanese Journal of Orthodontics

An adult female has upper central diastema complicated with a complete deep bite and spacing in lower dentition. The broad face and ovoid shaped dental arch form require special attention as an intrinsic transverse dimensional skeletal malocclusion. The treatment modality therefore should be totally different from other deep bite cases with crowding or tapered dental arch. The space retention after active treatment is of prime important. Root divergence of upper incisors and bodily protraction movement of lower posterior teeth were the main concerns during treatment. Fixed lingual retainer and long term follow up are essential for stable outcome.

"Our Roots:": Latinx Parents' Language Ideologies Concerning Bilingualism, Akanne S. Torres Beltran

Honors Undergraduate Theses

Language is a fundamental component of one's identity, as well as a means of surviving in a globalizing world. This study draws upon sixteen narratives of first-generation Mexican and Puerto Rican parents in Central Florida to answer the research question: What are the language ideologies of Mexican and Puerto Rican immigrant parents towards the English Language acquisition and Spanish Language retention of their children? The information was gathered through semi-structured interviews and it aimed to learn how and if they value English and Spanish bilingualism and whether it was desired for their children. On the one hand, they are aware …

The Study Of Discrete Emotions In Politics, Cigdem Sirin, José Villalobos

Departmental Papers (PS)

Numerous empirical works document that discrete emotions have substantive and differential effects on politically motivated processes and outcomes. Scholars have increasingly adopted a discrete-emotions approach across various political contexts. There are different theoretical paths for studying discrete emotions. Appraisal theories contend that cognition precedes emotion, where distinct cognitive appraisal tendencies elicit discrete emotional reactions associated with specific coping mechanisms. Affective Intelligence Theory, another dominant paradigm in the study of discrete emotions in politics, argues for affective primacy. Others are more concerned with the level of analysis issue than the emotion-cognition sequence. For instance, Intergroup Emotions Theory calls for differentiating between …

Dismantling Digital First: An Ethnographic Study Of The Importance Of Community Engagement For Local Publications, Michala Anne Head

Theses & ETDs

The objective of this thesis was to provide a comprehensive look at local media and journalism trends in 2018 through ethnographic study of a local, lifestyle magazine. With the Internet came the new ability to communicate directly with others online. This disrupted multiple streams of revenue for traditional print publications, as this development rendered classified postings and print advertising obsolete. The circulation of information online also unfathomably increased competition for the attention of readers. My thesis research used ethnographic methods to produce qualitative findings on the strategies employed by SRQ , a local publication in Sarasota, Florida, to stay afloat …

Becoming Over Being In Michelangelo’S Madonnas: The Reception Of His Unfinished Sculptures, Mia Reich

Theses & ETDs

The Italian Renaissance is considered to be the moment where the concept of artistic style was first created. There emerged a shift in attitude toward art: the creative process came to be valued as much as the material product. Concrete evidence of this shift is seen in the appreciation and positive reception of unfinished artwork- more specifically, the unfinished work of Michelangelo Buonarroti. The provenance of the incomplete Pitti Tondo and Taddei Tondo prove them to have been just as successful on their own terms as Michelangelo’s pristinely polished Vatican Pietà. The examination of these works together will document two …

Resetting The Connection: Legal Personhood And Decolonization In Aotearoa New Zealand, Sarah Kelly

Theses & ETDs

Exploitation and pollution of the environment has led some to search for a better way to protect the environment in law. In its current form, the majority of Western environmental policy only considers human interests. This shortcoming has been confronted in a few notable cases around the world where law has granted nature itself with “all the rights, powers, duties, and liabilities of a legal person.” Synthesizing philosophical, historical, ethnographic, and legal sources, this thesis examines how the “rights of nature” movement provides an avenue for decolonization and the legitimization of indigenous worldviews in mainstream policy. Two New Zealand examples …
