Authentic Assessment And Embedding Sustainable Literacy And Technology Skills In Tourism Education., Jennifer Stewart, Catherine Gorman Jan 2023

Authentic Assessment And Embedding Sustainable Literacy And Technology Skills In Tourism Education., Jennifer Stewart, Catherine Gorman

Irish Journal of Academic Practice

John Tribe proposed a model for ethical tourism which ‘utilises the Aristotelian idea of actions guided by practical wisdom, and that can contribute to curriculum, which participates in ‘tourism world-making' (Tribe, 2002, p323). Considering the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the integration of sustainability literacy into tourism education becomes essential for nurturing graduates capable of sustainable practices. This case study, employing a virtual fieldtrip (VFT) with authentic assessment, examines the integration of sustainability literacy and technology skills. Whilst technology enhances engagement, its role in the VFT does not surpass traditional methods. Integrated assessment and a multi-stakeholder approach make learning comprehensive. Yet, …

Operational Water Forecast Ability Of The Hrrr-Isnobal Combination: An Evaluation To Adapt Into Production Environments, Joachim Meyer, John Horel, Patrick Kormos, Andrew Hedrick, Ernesto Trujillo, S. Mckenzie Skiles Jan 2023

Operational Water Forecast Ability Of The Hrrr-Isnobal Combination: An Evaluation To Adapt Into Production Environments, Joachim Meyer, John Horel, Patrick Kormos, Andrew Hedrick, Ernesto Trujillo, S. Mckenzie Skiles

Geosciences Faculty Publications and Presentations

Operational water-resource forecasters, such as the Colorado Basin River Forecast Center (CBRFC) in the Western United States, currently rely on historical records to calibrate the temperature-index models used for snowmelt runoff predictions. This data dependence is increasingly challenged, with global and regional climatological factors changing the seasonal snowpack dynamics in mountain watersheds. To evaluate and improve the CBRFC modeling options, this work ran the physically based snow energy balance iSnobal model, forced with outputs from the High-Resolution Rapid Refresh (HRRR) numerical weather prediction model across 4 years in a Colorado River Basin forecast region. Compared to in situ, remotely sensed, …

Simulations Of The Holocene Climate In Europe Using An Interactive Downscaling Within The Iloveclim Model (Version 1.1), Frank Arthur, Didier M. Roche, Ralph Fyfe, Aurélien Quiquet, Hans Renssen Jan 2023

Simulations Of The Holocene Climate In Europe Using An Interactive Downscaling Within The Iloveclim Model (Version 1.1), Frank Arthur, Didier M. Roche, Ralph Fyfe, Aurélien Quiquet, Hans Renssen

School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences

Abstract. This study presents the application of an interactive downscaling in Europe using iLOVECLIM (a model of intermediate complexity), increasing its atmospheric resolution from 5.56 to 0.25∘ kilometric. A transient simulation using the appropriate climate forcings for the entire Holocene (11.5–0 ka BP) was done for both the standard version of the model and with an interactive downscaling applied. Our results show that simulations from downscaling present spatial variability that agrees better with proxy-based reconstructions and other climate models as compared to the standard model. The downscaling scheme simulates much higher (by at least a factor of 2) precipitation maxima …

Values Of Literature In Geographical Research： A Case Study Of French Geographers' Study Of Literature, Jia Zhao Jan 2023

Values Of Literature In Geographical Research： A Case Study Of French Geographers' Study Of Literature, Jia Zhao

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

Since the 1970s， French geographers' studies of literature have heralded the rise of geographical approaches to literature in France， paving the way for the later schools of “geographical criticism” and “geographic poetics”. This article takes French geographers' research on literature as an example， in order to reveal the value of literature in geographical research. The first value lies in its function of witnessing. Writers' geographical description and their perception of the social structure of a region provide references for geographers. Some geographers believe that the value of literature lies not in the accuracy of description， but in the writer's ability …

Dust And Loess As Archives And Agents Of Climate And Climate Change In The Late Paleozoic Earth System, Gerilyn S. Soreghan, Nicholas G. Heavens, Lily Pfeifer, Michael J. Soreghan Jan 2023

Dust And Loess As Archives And Agents Of Climate And Climate Change In The Late Paleozoic Earth System, Gerilyn S. Soreghan, Nicholas G. Heavens, Lily Pfeifer, Michael J. Soreghan

School of Earth & Environment Departmental Research

Palaeo-loess and silty aeolian-marine strata are well recognized across the Carboniferous–Permian of equatorial Pangaea. Aeolian-transported dust and loess appear in the Late Devonian in the west, are common by the Late Carboniferous, and predominate across equatorial Pangaea by the Permian. The thickest loess deposits in Earth history – in excess of 1000 m – date from this time, and archive unusually dusty equatorial conditions, especially compared to the dearth of equatorial dust in the Cenozoic. Loess archives a confluence of silt generation, aeolian emission and transport, and ultimate accumulation in dust traps that included ephemerally wet surfaces and epeiric seas. …

Mimosa 2022/2023, Jacksonville State University

JSU Yearbooks

The JSU Yearbook Collection spans the years from 1926 to the present. The publication began in 1926 as the Teacola (some volumes spelled "Teacoala") and continued under this title through 1933. The yearbook appears to have ceased printing after that year; the student newspaper took the name Teacola (later changed to the Collegian and finally the Chanticleer) and began publication in 1934. The yearbook started up again in 1947 under the name Mimosa. The Library holds all volume years that were printed: 1926-1933, 1947-1950, 1952-present.

Law Faculty Scholarship

This qualitative study examines pediatric oncologists’ experiences with treatment refusal and abandonment among children with cancer in the United States. Interviews with 30 pediatric oncologists explored the frequency, types, and ethical complexities of cases in which families declined or discontinued recommended curative treatments. Participants described a wide range of scenarios including outright refusal, delayed initiation of therapy, partial acceptance of treatment, and pursuit of alternative therapies. The findings reveal that such cases often involve complex psychosocial, cultural, and informational factors, and frequently evolve through multiple stages of conflict or negotiation. The study proposes a taxonomy of treatment refusal, non-adherence, and …

Peatland Fire Regime Across Riau Peat Hydrological Unit, Indonesia, Annuri Rossita, Rizaldi Boer, Lars Hein, Dodik Nurrochmat, Akhmad Riqqi

Forest and Society

Peatland stretches across approximately 8% of Indonesia's land area. Peat fire disturbance, which affects the carbon dynamics of the ecosystem, will determine the country's vision for a long-term strategy for low carbon development. While the impact of excessive draining on peatland fire is well-known to the scientific community, much less is known about peatland fire regimes in distinctive land management systems. We examined the effect of land use, land management, and climatic factors in peatland fires. The examination was performed at the Peat Hydrological Unit at Gaung?Batang Tuaka, Riau, Indonesia. We used a semi-automatic approach to determine the area of …

Faculty Publications

Background: Viral suppression is the ultimate goal of the HIV treatment cascade and a primary endpoint of antiretroviral therapy. Empirical evidence found racial/ethnic disparities in viral suppression among people living with HIV (PWH), but the evidence of the relationship between racial/ethnic residential segregation and place-based viral suppression is scarce. Further exploring potential structural moderators in this relationship has substantial implications for healthcare policymaking and resource allocation. The current study aimed to investigate the spatial-temporal disparities in the HIV viral suppression rate across 46 counties in South Carolina from 2013 to 2018. We also examined the impact of racial/ethnic residential segregation …

Book Review: In The Shadow Of The Palms: More-Than-Human Becomings In West Papua. Sophie Chao. Duke University Press, 2022, Carter Beale Jan 2023

Book Review: In The Shadow Of The Palms: More-Than-Human Becomings In West Papua. Sophie Chao. Duke University Press, 2022, Carter Beale

Forest and Society

In the Shadow of the Palms offers a haunting and novel perspective on themes of dispossession and alienation wrought by the expansion of oil palm agribusiness in Indonesia. Drawing on fieldwork with a Marind community in the Upper Bian in West Papua, the text endeavors to describe such dispossessory dynamics from an embodied Marind ontology. Meticulous descriptions of interactions with various animal and plant species evidence a profound intersubjectivity of human and environment in the Marind world. Moreover, these encounters with multi-species entanglements often reveal how the Marind accommodate and assimilate the spiritual and material incursions inflicted by expanding oil …

The Evolution Of Life History Traits And Their Thermal Plasticity In Daphnia, Larry L. Bowman Jr., David M. Post

ETSU Faculty Works

Few studies have explored the relative strength of ecogeographic versus lineage-specific effects on a global scale, particularly for poikilotherms, those organisms whose internal temperature varies with their environment. Here, we compile a global dataset of life history traits in Daphnia, at the species-and population-level, and use those data to parse the relative influences of lineage-specific effects and climate. We also compare the thermal response (plasticity) of life history traits and their dependence on climate, temperature, precipitation, and latitude. We found that the mode of evolution for life history traits varies but that the thermal response of life history traits most …
