Evaluating Clinical-Academic Partnerships In Physical Therapy Education: A Critically Appraised Topic On Available Assessment Tools, Jocelin Friedman, Hannah Bennett, Rachel Atkinson, Leona Hidalgo

Pacific Journal of Health

Scenario: Physical Therapy Clinical Education represents a significant component of curricula and requires cooperation between academic institutions and clinical education sites (CES). Curriculum structure variation, clinical instructor availability, and student internship demands impact the academic institutions and CES partnership. For stakeholders, communication of expectations and the individuality of the student placement workflow can strain partnerships. Longevity of the clinical-academic partnership depends on effective evaluation incorporating perspectives of both parties. Question: Are there bi- directional assessment tools or protocols available to help academic institutions and CES to evaluate each other in the areas of administrative and collaborative performance? Methods …

Impact Networks: Leading Community Collaboration On Difficult Issues (White Paper), Raymond Fitz, Dick Ferguson

Writings on Leadership in Community

The book Impact Networks by David Erlichman, published in 2021, provides a comprehensive picture of how impact networks are working throughout the world on complex issues. Such networks move beyond hierarchical structures that are based on authority. Organizations within networks share at least one purpose and define their success as network participants based on their impact on the network issue, not on agency growth.

This paper is focused on local use of impact networks to address difficult issues that do not have clear pathways to solutions. Our experience with a network formed more than 30 years ago in response to …

Implementation Of A Human Donor Breastmilk Education Program On The Usage Rates Of Pasteurized Human Donor Breastmilk For Supplementation Of Breastfed Infants In The Well-Baby Nursery, Nicole Sadorra

Doctor of Nursing Practice Projects

Background: Exclusive breastfeeding provides significant health benefits for infants and lactating individuals; however, national rates remain below Healthy People 2030 targets. Evidence suggests that infants supplemented with pasteurized human donor breast milk (HDBM) during postpartum hospitalization have higher exclusive breastfeeding rates at discharge and at six months. At a suburban Maryland hospital, formal HDBM education was not routinely provided, contributing to low utilization and stagnant breastfeeding rates.

Purpose: To determine whether implementing a structured HDBM education program for postpartum parents increases HDBM supplementation among breastfed infants and improves exclusive breastfeeding rates at discharge.

Methods: This pre-/post-test quality improvement project was …

Deepening Community-Campus Partnerships Through Collaborative Critical Reflection, Lori E. Kniffin, Patti Clayton, Jasmina Camo-Biogradlija, Mary F. Price, Haden M. Botkin, Robert G. Bringle

SACAD: Scholarly Activities

Partnerships are the lifeblood of community-campus engagement in all its forms. But how do we know that we are working together in ways that embody oft-cited values such as reciprocity and shared decision-making so as to advance both learning and change?  The Transformational Relationship Evaluation Scale (TRES, pronounced “trees”) Reflection Framework is a tool to support reflection on, assessment of, and research into the dynamics of partnerships in community-campus engagement. Its users and developers realized the value of providing additional support to turn responses to the original TRES scale into concrete action to deepen partnerships. Thus, the Reflection Framework is …

Voices Of Resilience: Black Women’S Navigation To Executive Leadership Roles In Corporate America - A Narrative Inquiry, Sylvia Blackmon-Roberts

PhD in Organizational Leadership

Black women remain markedly underrepresented in the C-suite, despite their growing educational attainment and presence in the workforce. This narrative inquiry examined the lived experiences of five Black women executives to illuminate how they interpreted and navigated the realities of leadership within corporate environments. Guided by Clandinin and Connelly’s (2000) three-dimensional framework, the study explored how temporality, sociality, and place shaped their leadership identities and strategies. Participants described early life influences, organizational dynamics, and identity-based challenges that shaped their trajectories, revealing how they confronted exclusion, navigated scrutiny, and cultivated resilience through faith, preparation, community, and strategic competence. Cross-case analysis identified …

The Effect Of Moral Potency On Employee Fraud Motive In Organizations, John Kopalchick Iii

PhD in Organizational Leadership

This study examined the drivers of employee fraud behavior. The theory of planned behavior served as the foundation for understanding how moral potency related to employee fraud motive. A sample of 102 auditors and audit-related professionals completed a survey on fraudsters’ behavioral traits. Using quantitative, nonexperimental methods, this study employed correlational and predictive statistical tests to examine the relationship between moral potency and employee fraud motive. Results showed no significant relationship between moral potency and employee fraud motive. The study filled a gap by applying quantitative methods, specifically the employee fraud motive scale, to understand employee fraud behavior in a …

Mitigating Renewal Risk In Banks: An Analysis Of Ai Adoption, Customer Loyalty And Macroeconomic Conditions, Mackenzie M. Cauthorn

ASPIRE 2026

Renewal risk, the uncertainty surrounding whether customers will continue existing financial relationships such as loans, deposits, credit lines, or insurance products, poses a growing challenge for modern banks because customer retention is critical for revenue stability, cross-selling opportunities, and long-term profitability. This study examines how the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) in banking interacts with macroeconomic conditions to influence renewal risk and customer attrition. Specifically, the research addresses three primary questions: (1) whether macroeconomic conditions, such as perceived economic health, inflation concerns, unemployment expectations, and personal financial confidence, affect the likelihood and timing of banking product renewal; (2) how AI …

Casa Milá As A Sensory Laboratory A Neuroarchitectural Approach To Gaudí'S Modernism, María Beltrán Rodríguez, Chloe Sharpe, Alejandro Martínez González, Ivette Caldelas

Artículos científicos

This paper examines Antoni Gaudí’s Casa Milà (La Pedrera) through the lens of neuroarchitecture, exploring how form, light, and texture shape perception and emotional response. Integrating architectural analysis with neuroscience, it proposes an experimental framework combining EEG, eye-tracking, and behavioral data to assess spatial experience within immersive environments. By linking formal complexity to cognitive and physiological responses, the study reveals how Gaudí’s architecture transcends aesthetics to engage the brain’s sensory and emotional systems. The approach positions his work as a bridge between art, science, and urban creativity, expanding our understanding of architecture as a multisensory cognitive phenomenon.

Beyond The Badge: How Internal Culture Contradicts External Service In Urban Police Departments, Rowan Bari Eiselman

Educational Studies Student Papers and Posters

This ethnographic study examines how gendered workplace culture and mental health culture shape officer retention in two urban police departments: the Orange Police Department and the Los Angeles Police Department's 77th District. Through ride-alongs, observations, and informal interviews with nine current and retired officers (four female, five male) across various ranks conducted between March and April 2026, this research reveals a troubling contradiction: departments tasked with serving diverse communities struggle to support diversity within their own ranks. Female officers navigate professional isolation, prolonged competence-proving expectations, and implicit career-versus-motherhood choices, with experiences varying significantly between the more supportive Orange PD and …

Publications and Research

Technological advancements have transformed the nature of work, attracting more women to challenging industries such as the logistics industry. Despite this technological advancement and progress in promoting gender equality, achieving gender parity in this industry remains stagnant. Using the extended self-determination theory, this study explores new mediating and moderating variables to identify factors influencing female employee retention in the logistics industry in Malaysia. Based on a quantitative approach and purposive sampling, 278 responses were collected from women in the logistics industry through online surveys. Most direct hypotheses were supported, and significant mediation and moderation effects were found. In addition to …

Digital Platform Participation, Service Innovation, And Retailer Growth Performance, Xueqiang Chen

Dissertations and Theses Collection (Open Access)

The rapid expansion of the digital economy has fundamentally transformed how firms create and deliver value. As a core infrastructure of the digital economy, digital platforms are reshaping firms’ business activities and market interactions. For brand firms that rely heavily on channel systems, retailers play a dual role as both product distributors and critical interfaces with end customers. However, the rise of digital platforms has significantly altered the operating environment of retailers. While digital platforms provide new channels, they also require retailers to adapt by reconfiguring their business models and service offerings. Although digital platform participation has become increasingly common, …

Book Bans In U.S. Prisons: A Legacy Of The Prisoners' Rights Movement, Allison Jansen

Honors Projects

The 1950s-1970s saw an unprecedented spike in organized resistance by American prisoners. This long era of rebellion, along with thousands of judicial appeals, made up the “prisoners’ rights movement”-- a political, legal, and social struggle that challenged the conditions of American incarceration and its penological paradigm. The timeline of the movement is abstract and difficult to measure. Nonetheless, what is certain is that it lost its momentum by the 1980s due to overhauling policy changes that quelled prisoner activism without achieving meaningful progress. This research examines the evolution of prison censorship policies within that paradigm shift and how they sought …
