What Is Digital Journalism? Defining The Practice And Role Of The Digital Journalist, Gregory P. Perreault, Patrick Ferrucci

School of Advertising & Mass Communications Faculty Publications

Through the lens of theories of field and normalization process, this research seeks to understand technology’s current role in how self-identifying digital journalists define the field. The definitions of digital journalism/journalists and what constitutes digital journalism practices are essential–they shape a range of crucial activities including how journalists prioritize sources to how journalists shape their content for audience consumption. Built on long-form interviews with 68 U.S.-based self-identifying digital journalists, this article argues that the digital turn in the industry has emboldened new entrants to the field and required dominantly placed legacy media journalists to reconsider their definition of journalism as …

The Implementation And Evaluation Of Self-Advocacy Programming For College Students, Emily Baker

Theses

The existence of barriers for college students living with disabilities is expansive and far-reaching; however, Field, Sarver, and Shaw (2003) and Walker and Test (2011) indicate that the development of self-advocacy skills increases the likelihood of overall academic success. It is vital that disability support services on college campuses recognize and develop programming to provide students with opportunities to increase their self-advocacy skills. This research assesses the effectiveness of self-advocacy workshops offered through an office of disability support services at a mid-sized regional university in the southeast. Causal agency theory and the ecological model of self-determination guided the development of …

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

บิลเลียดเป็นการเล่นที่ใช้ทักษะต้องอาศัยการฝึกฝน ความแม่นยำ สมาธิ รวมถึงความสามารถทางกายภาพเป็นตัวกำหนดผลลัพธ์เป็นสำคัญ การบัญญัติให้บิลเลียดเป็นการพนันในบัญชี ข. ตามพระราชบัญญัติการพนัน พุทธศักราช 2478 เป็นผลผลิตจากแนวคิดเรื่องความสงบเรียบร้อยและศีลธรรมอันดีของประชาชนในอดีตที่มองว่าเป็นการเล่นที่สร้างความเสียหายต่อสังคม เพาะนิสัยให้เพลิดเพลินฝักใฝ่ในในการพนันไม่สนใจต่อการอาชีพและการเล่าเรียน บั่นทอนความเจริญก้าวหน้าและเศรษฐกิจของชาติ อย่างไรก็ตาม เมื่อกาลเวลาและสภาพสังคมเปลี่ยนไป บิลเลียดถูกมองว่าเป็นกีฬามากกว่าสร้างปัญหาให้แก่สังคม บิลเลียดได้รับการยอมรับในระดับประเทศและนานาชาติ แต่การที่กฎหมายยังควบคุมบิลเลียดและการเล่นที่มีลักษณะใกล้เคียงกันส่งผลกระทบต่อบิลเลียดในฐานะกีฬาซ้ำยังขัดต่อหลักพื้นฐานเรื่องการกำหนดความรับผิดทางอาญาและหลักในเรื่องการลงโทษตามกฎหมายอาญา เป็นการจำกัดเสรีภาพในการเข้าถึงบิลเลียดในประเทศไทย ในขณะที่ต่างประเทศนั้นมุ่งจะเอาผิดแก่ผู้ฝ่าฝืนประกอบกิจการบิลเลียดโดยไม่ได้รับอนุญาตโดยเป็นความผิดทางปกครอง การควบคุมกีฬาบิลเลียดตามพระราชบัญญัติการพนัน พุทธศักราช 2478 จึงไม่เหมาะสม วิทยานิพนธ์นี้จึงมีวัตถุประสงค์เพื่อศึกษาแนวทางการนำกีฬาบิลเลียดออกจากบัญชี ข. ตามพระราชบัญญัติการพนัน พุทธศักราช 2478 โดยมุ่งศึกษาถึงสาเหตุและผลกระทบของพระราชบัญญัติการพนัน พุทธศักราช 2478 ต่อบิลเลียดและการเล่นที่มีลักษณะใกล้เคียงกันในประเทศไทย นอกจากนั้นยังศึกษาเชิงเปรียบเทียบกับบทบัญญัติกฎหมายที่เกี่ยวข้องกับบิลเลียดในต่างประเทศ เพื่อนำมาวิเคราะห์เปรียบเทียบและเสนอแนวทางในการนำกีฬาบิลเลียดดออกจากบัญชี ข. ตามพระราชบัญญัติการพนัน พุทธศักราช 2478

Who’S Afraid Of Ebola? Epidemic Fires And Locative Fears In The Information Age, W. Shrum, J. Aggrey, A. Campos, J. Pamplona Da Costa, J. Joseph, P. Kreimer, R. Kroeger, L. Medina, P. Miller, A. Palackal, A. Pandal De La Peza, A. Traore

Faculty Publications

Epidemics have traditionally been viewed as the widespread occurrence of infectious disease within a community, or a sudden increase above what is typical. But modern epidemics are both more and less than the diffusion of viral entities. We argue that epidemics are 'fire objects', using a term coined by Law and Singleton: They generate locative fears through encounters that focus attention on entities that are unknown or imprecisely known, transforming spaces and humans into indeterminate dangers, alternating appearance and absence. The Ebola epidemic of 2014 had more complex impacts than the number of infections would suggest. We employ multi-sited qualitative …

The Love Of Aerial Practice: Art, Embodiment, Phronesis, Maria Kosma, Nick Erickson

Faculty Publications

Background of study: Given the importance of movement and low exercise adherence among young adults, it is imperative to understand reasons for the love of movement. Objective: The purpose of this phronetic, qualitative study was to examine if the values of aerial practice encompassed elements of embodiment, techne (art), and phronesis (practical wisdom). Method: Participants were 13 undergraduate college students in an aerial practice class. Individual-based interview topics included exercise behavior and the values and meaning of aerial practice. Results: All participants were active regardless of aerial practice classification (e.g., beginners vs advanced). Beyond aerial practice, other exercises included dancing, …

Boxed In: Beliefs About The Compatibility And Likability Of Mother-Occupation And Father-Occupation Role Combinations, Mary C. Noonan, Freda B. Lynn, Mark H. Walker

Faculty Publications

Researchers have long noted that role expectations of a “good” mother conflict with those of a “good” worker, described as the “cultural contradiction” of motherhood. But given that work roles vary tremendously in terms of the cultural meanings the public assigns them, the authors examine variability in the perceived compatibility of mother-occupation and father-occupation combinations. Building on previous research, the authors hypothesize that (1) some parent-occupation pairings will be viewed as significantly less compatible because of incongruent expectations and meanings, and (2) incumbents of supposedly compatible parent-occupation pairings will be evaluated more favorably than incumbents of incompatible pairings. Both hypotheses …

Gender Contexts, Dowry And Women's Health In India: A National Multilevel Longitudinal Analysis, Samuel Stroope, Rhiannon A. Kroeger, Jiabin Fan

Faculty Publications

Gender-biased contexts may impact women's lives across a variety of domains. This study examined whether changes in district prevalence of a salient gendered practice - dowry - are associated with changes in poor health for women in India. Two waves of national multilevel panel data were used to assess the relationship between changes in district-level dowry prevalence and changes in self-rated health for 23,785 ever-married women aged 15-50 years. Increased dowry prevalence was found to be associated with increased poor self-rated health for women. This relationship remained when controlling for potentially confounding factors including household socioeconomic status, caste, infrastructure, mobility …

Parents’ Perceived Financial Behaviors Impact On College Students’ Financial Behaviors, Naomi Saxon

Masters Theses

The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between traditional-aged college students and their parents perceived financial behaviors. It utilized Dew and Xiao’s Financial Management Behavior Scale (FMBS) (2011). Past research indicated that there is a positive impact between a parent’s involvement in students’ academic endeavors, however little research explored the relationship between their impact on a young adults’ financial behaviors. Students’ were asked a series of questions from the FMBS rating their actual financial behaviors. These results were compared to their perception of their parent’s financial behaviors in the following categories: money management, credit management, savings management, …

Theodramatic Themes And Showtime In Nassim Soleimanpour’S White Rabbit Red Rabbit, Charles A. Gillespie

Catholic Studies Faculty Publications

This essay engages the experimental playwright Nassim Soleimanpour’s White Rabbit Red Rabbit alongside the theological dramatic theory of Hans Urs von Balthasar. Every Soleimanpour play can only happen once. Actors receive the script as they begin the show; any given actor must perform Soleimanpour’s drama as a cold reading unique in history. I propose “Showtime” to theorize this theatrical temporality, exemplified by White Rabbit Red Rabbit and shared by von Balthasar’s theology, on analogy to stage space. This article further examines the play’s themes of identity, self-sacrifice, free obedience, and writing about time through a “theodramatic structural analysis” keyed to …

An Analysis Of The Representation Of Black Men In Modern U.S. Television Commercials., Jackson Borman

Undergraduate Honors Thesis Collection

Throughout the history of media, minority groups have been on the losing end of representation, with racist, stereotypical portrayals, or in many cases, no representation at all. This study analyzes the current representation of black men in modern television commercials. To answer the research questions posed about how black men are represented in commercials, a content analysis was conducted. A systematic sample of television commercials was taken from an online directory of television commercials, and the sample (N = 117) was analyzed using a coding instrument to determine the level of involvement and characterizations of the black male characters featured …

¡Guiris, No Más! The Role Of A Dmo In Promoting Responsible Tourism Among A Destination’S Key Publics: An Analysis Of Barcelona Turisme’S Messaging On Instagram, Kylie G. Stine

Undergraduate Honors Thesis Collection

Since hosting the 1992 Summer Olympics, Barcelona quickly elevated its status as a prime tourist destination. Still, as visitors from all over the world flock to the city, its residents have felt pushed out, disrespected, and exploited, resulting in a phenomenon known as “tourism-phobia.” Barcelona Turisme, the city’s destination marketing organization (DMO) developed a 2020 Strategic Tourism Plan to find ways not to manage tourism in a city, but to manage a tourist city through responsible, sustainable practices. As Instagram has evolved as a principal social media platform for two-way, interactive conversations between brands and their audiences, this research studies …

Artificial Intelligence-Enhanced Decision Support For Informing Global Sustainable Development: A Human-Centric Ai-Thinking Approach, Meng-Leong How, Sin Mei Cheah, Yong-Jiet Chan, Aik Cheow Khor, Eunice Mei Ping Say

CCX Research

Sustainable development is crucial to humanity. Utilization of primary socio-environmental data for analysis is essential for informing decision making by policy makers about sustainability in development. Artificial intelligence (AI)-based approaches are useful for analyzing data. However, it was not easy for people who are not trained in computer science to use AI. The significance and novelty of this paper is that it shows how the use of AI can be democratized via a user-friendly human-centric probabilistic reasoning approach. Using this approach, analysts who are not computer scientists can also use AI to analyze sustainability-related EPI data. Further, this human-centric probabilistic …

Sharing Isn't Always Caring: Sti Concerns, Matt Heider

Research Days Posters 2020

This study examined the relationship between gender and concern about contracting a sexually transmitted diseases during oral sex. It was hypothesized that concern regarding contracting a sexually transmitted disease would be higher in females in general than in males in general. College students completed a survey with questions regarding their concern levels about contracting an STI while having oral sex. The implications are discussed regarding the variance in concern from “never concerned” to “always concerned” of contracting an STI.

The Roles And Benefits Of Using Undergraduate Student Leaders To Support The Work Of Summit-P, Janet Bowers, Bryan D. Poole, Caroline Maher-Boulis, Ashley Schwartz, Angelica Bloomquist, Erica Slate Young

Journal of Mathematics and Science: Collaborative Explorations

The article by Poole, Turner, and Maher-Boulis (2020) describes one way in which undergraduates have been used to support the SUMMIT-P goal of investigating examples of how mathematics and statistics are applied in partner discipline courses. Two other universities in the SUMMIT-P consortium, San Diego State University and Oregon State University, also use undergraduates in different ways to support the work of integrating science applications into math classes. In this article, we compare and contrast these three uses to further highlight this somewhat untapped resource.

Present And Passionate: A Critical Analysis Of Asian American Involvement In The United States Environmental Justice Movement, Emily M. Ng

Pitzer Senior Theses

Communities of color are disproportionately exposed to toxins and pollution. The environmental justice movement addresses the greater health and environmental risks experienced by minority groups. Although Asian Americans are the fastest growing population in the United States, there is little known about their involvement in the movement. In this thesis, I further observe Asian American involvement in the United States environmental justice movement. By analyzing community case studies, I identify Asian American-specific mobilization challenges and strategies. Interviews with prominent Asian American environmental justice activists reveal activism and collective identity are connected, but vary greatly according to individualized Asian American experiences. …
