Compensation And Community Corrosion: Perceived Inequalities, Social Comparisons, And Competition Following The Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill, Brian Mayer, Katrina Running, Kelly Bergstrand

Sociology & Anthropology Faculty Publications - Archive

After disasters, victim compensation programs are typically associated with individual healing and community rebuilding. But postdisaster compensation systems also have the potential to introduce confusion and competition, further fraying the social fabric of communities affected by trauma. To assess the perceived effects of disaster compensation processes on community social relations, as well as the mechanisms that underlie such effects, we turn to the case of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, after which BP implemented one of the largest compensation systems in U.S. history. Using data from interviews of residents of four Gulf Coast communities, we examine the extent to which …

Assessing Values-Based Sourcing Strategies In Regional Food Supply Networks: An Agent-Based Approach, Caroline C. Krejci, Michael C. Dorneich, Richard T. Stone

Industrial, Manufacturing, and Systems Engineering Faculty Publications - Archive

The recent increase in demand for regionally produced food has resulted in a need for more efficient distribution methods. To connect regional food producers and consumers, intermediated regional food supply networks have developed. The intermediary, known as a regional food hub, serves as an aggregation point for products and information. It may also act as a filter to ensure that the requirements of both producers and consumers are consistently met. This paper describes an empirically based agent-based model of a regional food network in central Iowa that is intermediated by a food hub. The model was used to test a …

Towards Understanding When Service-Learning Fosters Efficacy Beliefs Of Preservice Teachers, Kathleen Tice, Larry Nelson

Curriculum and Instruction Faculty Publications - Archive

This research uses a mixed methods approach in focusing upon the role service-learning can play in enhancing preservice teachers’ sense of efficacy. Results of the quantitative component reveal significant gains in efficacy beliefs of preservice teachers who engaged in a service-learning project during a course in their teacher preparation. At the completion of a service-learning project, preservice teachers shared their perceptions of their participation through written reflections. Qualitative analysis of the preservice teachers’ written reflections and the characteristics of the service-learning experience uncover sources of efficacy, providing guidance for planning service-learning in teacher education. Additionally, findings document the importance of …

Depressive Symptoms And Violence Exposure: Contributors To Repeat Pregnancies Among Adolescents, Cheryl Ann Anderson

Nursing Faculty Publications & Presentations - Archive

Depressive symptoms and violence exposure (VE) often cooccur and have been recognized to influence childbearing; contribution to repeat pregnancy is unclear and examined in this article. This cross-sectional, descriptive, study screened for depressive symptoms and VE among 193 adolescent mothers at a large county hospital in Southwestern United States. Repeat pregnancy and depressive symptoms characterized one-third and one-quarter of adolescents, respectively. Despite minimal disclosure of VE, repeat pregnancy was significantly influenced by child abuse and past traumatic life experiences. Assessments and interventions with adolescents should focus on frequency of repeat pregnancies and symptoms of depression and VE. Nurses and childbirth …

Turning A Crisis Into An Opportunity: Dda And Pda At Uta Librariesdda And Pda At Uta Libraries, Peter Zhang

UTA Libraries Staff Publications - Archive

Facing a 72% cut in our monographic acquisitions budget in FY13-14, UT Arlington Libraries turned a crisis into an opportunity. We examined print monographs' circulation data and discovered the hard truth that the "just-in-case" acquisition model is neither sustainable nor serving our users well. Subsequently, our approval plan was put on a virtual mode: no more approval book shipments. We implemented demand-driven acquisition (DDA) programs for both electronic and print books and put broader patron-driven acquisition (PDA) programs in place to meet our users' needs.

Is Service-Learning Worth It?: A Mixed-Methods Study Of Faculty’S Service-Learning Experiences, Joan M. Blakey, Shirley Theriot, Mary Cazzell, Melanie L. Sattler

Civil Engineering Faculty Publications - Archive

Service-learning benefits students, communities, institutions of higher learning, and faculty. Most studies have focused on the impact of service-learning on students; however, there is a dearth of mixed-methods research examining faculty use of service-learning. Using a two-phase, exploratory, mixed-methods design, the purpose of this study was to understand the factors that influenced 24 faculty fellows’ engagement with service-learning. The qualitative component examined four faculty’s in-depth experiences with service-learning to understand the meaning they assigned to those experiences and to identify key themes that affected engagement. The quantitative phase of the study explored the extent to which 20 additional faculty fellows’ …
