Irish Radio's Digital Transition: Back To The Future, Kenneth Murphy Jan 2026

Irish Radio's Digital Transition: Back To The Future, Kenneth Murphy

Irish Communication Review

The current paper critically interrogates the predictions made by experts in Irish radio in 2017 and analyses how they align with the reality of the evolved radio landscape in the Republic of Ireland in 2025. In doing so, the article examines developments in radio media in Ireland from 2017 to 2025, situating this national case study within broader European patterns of technological transition and media evolution, and looking ahead to likely developments in the near future. Drawing on longitudinal data from industry analyses, media coverage and regulatory frameworks, it investigates the persistence of FM broadcasting alongside the development of digital …


Beyond Broadcasting: Irish Radio And The Convergent Mediascape Of The 21st Century, Daithí Mcmahon Jan 2026

Beyond Broadcasting: Irish Radio And The Convergent Mediascape Of The 21st Century, Daithí Mcmahon

Irish Communication Review

As we reflect on one hundred years of broadcast radio in Ireland, we are reminded of the resilience required to remain a prominent fixture in what has become a highly congested digital mediascape. The Irish radio industry’s survival and continued success has been made possible, paradoxically, by remaining true to its origins as a linear, aural medium - while at the same time adapting to become a modern, digitally convergent one. Over the last twenty-five years, Irish radio has continued to serve as a live, spontaneous and trustworthy medium, providing an ever-present voice in Irish people’s lives at home and …


“A Questionable Culture That Has Dominated Rté For Too Long”: Early Funding Structures And The Nature Of Irish Public Service Media, Roddy Flynn Jan 2026

“A Questionable Culture That Has Dominated Rté For Too Long”: Early Funding Structures And The Nature Of Irish Public Service Media, Roddy Flynn

Irish Communication Review

RTÉ is unusually reliant on advertising revenue in comparison with other European public service media. This article suggests that understanding why this is the case requires a look at the longer history of RTE’s finances, back to the era when the broadcasting service was directly run as an element of the Department of Posts and Telegraphs and thus, indirectly, the Irish state. This status notwithstanding, a sequence of government decisions in the 1930s created a situation whereby the public service medium became reliant on advertising income for its survival, a dependency relationship which not only persisted but became even more …


Discovering New Music: Curators In Irish Radio, Ciarán Ryan Jan 2026

Discovering New Music: Curators In Irish Radio, Ciarán Ryan

Irish Communication Review

From the arrival of pirate radio stations to the establishment of RTÉ 2FM and the later introduction of commercial radio, Irish audiences have had access to various forms of popular music radio for over half a century. Non-chart or ‘alternative’ music programming is a part of the Irish radio landscape that has been under-researched until now. Primarily scheduled late at night, these programmes have had hosts who have fostered intimate connections with smaller, niche audiences through their musical knowledge and personally selected track listings. Looking at industry perspectives from various strands of broadcasting in Ireland, this research examines the value …


Who You Gonna Call? Talk Radio As Therapy And As A Marker Of Social Change In Ireland, Finola Doyle O'Neill Jan 2026

Who You Gonna Call? Talk Radio As Therapy And As A Marker Of Social Change In Ireland, Finola Doyle O'Neill

Irish Communication Review

In the Irish context, the radio talk show has long constituted a distinctive cultural institution, evolving from early programmes such as Dear Frankie, The Gay Byrne Show, The Ryan Line, and Liveline into a significant public forum for the expression of personal narratives, collective opinion, and emotional resonance (O’Sullivan, 2005). Over time, this genre has undergone a notable transformation—from functioning as a secular analogue to the Catholic confessional to becoming an increasingly therapeutic outlet for listeners. This evolution is emblematic of wider sociocultural shifts in Ireland, particularly the waning influence of institutional religion (Inglis, 2000) and the disintegration of traditional …


The Unscripting Of Broadcasting In Postwar Ireland, Eileen Morgan-Zayachek Jan 2026

The Unscripting Of Broadcasting In Postwar Ireland, Eileen Morgan-Zayachek

Irish Communication Review

This article builds on existing histories of Irish broadcasting by examining the contexts and implementation of postwar reforms initiated by Fianna Fáil politician, Erskine Hamilton Childers. The lifting of script submission requirements and promotion of open debate extended Childers’ efforts to modernize Ireland’s infrastructure and promote civic engagement. Childers viewed Irish radio as a platform for cultivating critical thinking, public debate, and understanding of state institutions—assets he believed Irish citizens needed to compete in the global economy. The article reviews the repressive practices of the early broadcasting service that sought to avoid all controversial content. It also traces a throughline …


Crystal Sets And Listening-In: Radio In Ireland Before 2rn, Stephanie Rains Jan 2026

Crystal Sets And Listening-In: Radio In Ireland Before 2rn, Stephanie Rains

Irish Communication Review

When 2RN began broadcasting from its studios on Henry Street in Dublin on 1 January 1926, it became the first radio station in the Free State. However, it was very far from being the start of radio on the island of Ireland, as there was already a community of amateur operators and engineers conducting technical experiments. This article explores the radio landscape in Ireland which 2RN joined and transformed. The early enthusiasts often not very concerned with programming or with most of radio’s possibilities as a form of entertainment, but did have a very international perspective on the medium’s possibilities. …

The Legal Evidentiary Value Of Blockchain (Distributed Ledger Technology) In Proof, Omar Anjoum Jan 2026

The Legal Evidentiary Value Of Blockchain (Distributed Ledger Technology) In Proof, Omar Anjoum

Revue Marocaine de Droit, d'Economie et de Gestion (Moroccan Journal of Law, Economics and Management)

This article examines the probative value of blockchain (distributed ledger technology) in legal proof. It highlights the technology’s core features—decentralization, immutability, cryptography, and time-stamping—and assesses how they fit within rules of evidence, particularly the requirements of electronic writing and electronic signature. The study also discusses the extent of legislative recognition in Morocco and comparative systems, with a focus on identity attribution and the link between a digital record and its author. It concludes that blockchain records may carry increasing persuasive force, while full evidentiary equivalence requires clearer regulatory frameworks and trusted digital services to ensure integrity and reliability.


Optimized Resnet-18 Architecture For Multi-Class Oral Diseases Classification, Ahmed Ahmed Jan 2026

Optimized Resnet-18 Architecture For Multi-Class Oral Diseases Classification, Ahmed Ahmed

Karbala International Journal of Modern Science

In recent years, the classification of oral diseases has gained significant attention due to its influence on public health and the necessity for early and accurate diagnosis. Traditional diagnosis depends on manual clinical assessment, which can be slow and subjective. An optimized and subsequently quantized model is required to provide a faster and more consistent diagnostic support tool. This paper proposes an optimized ResNet-18 architecture for the classification of six oral diseases. The optimization process is based on removing the Rectified Linear Unit (ReLU), Batch Normalization (BN), and convolutional layers from the base ResNet-18 blocks that contain 128 filters. This …


Social Workers' Perspectives Of Using Teletherapy To Foster Resilience Among Middle-Class Single Black Mothers, Yvonne Judge Jan 2026

Social Workers' Perspectives Of Using Teletherapy To Foster Resilience Among Middle-Class Single Black Mothers, Yvonne Judge

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

Inadequate mental health support, particularly from social workers, disproportionately affects middle-class single Black mothers. Prior studies have examined low-income single mothers’ access to mental health care and the potential of teletherapy as a tool for improving access; however, few have explored how middle-class single Black mothers navigate mental health challenges. Further, there is a lack of research on social workers’ perspectives of using teletherapy to foster resilience among middle-class single Black mothers. This is a critical gap, as social workers play a key role in tailoring mental health interventions. The purpose of this study was to explore social workers’ perspectives …


Cancer Literacy And Social Determinants Of Health: An Epidemiological Analysis Of Trust, Digital Engagement, And Healthcare Utilization In Cancer Information Seeking, Kimberly Leeann Hazel Jan 2026

Cancer Literacy And Social Determinants Of Health: An Epidemiological Analysis Of Trust, Digital Engagement, And Healthcare Utilization In Cancer Information Seeking, Kimberly Leeann Hazel

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

The rise of online health information has increased access to cancer resources but also amplified misinformation, creating trust gaps that threaten prevention, treatment, and health equity. This study examined how trust in cancer information sources, online information-seeking, and healthcare perceptions relate among U.S. adults. Guided by the health information seeking behavior, the socioecological model, and the structural influence model of health communication, data from the 2022 Health Information National Trends Survey (N = 6,197) were analyzed with logistic regression, mediation, and moderation modeling, controlling for demographics. Trust in government agencies predicted greater cancer information seeking (odds ratio [OR] = 1.94, …


National Survey Of Physical Therapists’ Participation As Health Educators In Physical Activity Promotion Among Older Adults, Casey Nicole Mokres Jan 2026

National Survey Of Physical Therapists’ Participation As Health Educators In Physical Activity Promotion Among Older Adults, Casey Nicole Mokres

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

Physical inactivity among older adults remains a major national and global public health concern linked to preventable morbidity, mortality, and rising healthcare costs. Physical therapists are uniquely positioned to promote physical activity (PA) through health education, yet their engagement in this role is not well defined. This quantitative cross-sectional study examined associations between clinical practice factors—years of experience, board certification status, and practice setting—and three domains of the theoretical domains framework (knowledge, skills, and behavioral regulation) related to PA promotion among older adults. The framework guided identification of behavioral and contextual factors influencing therapists’ delivery of PA promotion interventions. Data …


Minority Leaders’ Impact On Corporate Diversity And Organizational Change, Nana Kwasi Amponsah Jan 2026

Minority Leaders’ Impact On Corporate Diversity And Organizational Change, Nana Kwasi Amponsah

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

Workplace diversity continues to face criticism due to the limited representation of minority groups, with little progress made in the corporate sector. Despite corporations’ efforts to increase diversity and inclusion in the workplace, a notable lack of minority leadership persists in upper management roles. The purpose of this explanatory sequential mixed-method study was to explore the factors that affect the selection of minority leaders and how corporate executives utilize diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives to foster significant organizational change, even in the face of ongoing underrepresentation in upper management. Social dominance theory, anti-egalitarianism, and social construction theory grounded this …

Rethinking Geoengineering Governance Utilizing The Playing God Argument: Considerations Of Knowledge, Control, And Benevolence, Julian Dreiman, Brian Patrick Green Jan 2026

Rethinking Geoengineering Governance Utilizing The Playing God Argument: Considerations Of Knowledge, Control, And Benevolence, Julian Dreiman, Brian Patrick Green

Staff Publications and Research

Because greenhouse gas emissions continue to grow, it is increasingly challenging to limit global warming to 1.5 or 2.0 degrees Celsius. As such, there is a growing debate on whether or not to deploy geoengineering to reduce warming. Geoengineering is controversial, and many arguments have been raised against it, including the “playing God” critique. When understood through the philosopher Moti Mizrahi’s reinterpretation, the playing God critique does not eliminate the possibility of using geoengineering, but rather informs how its governance can be improved. We use Mizrahi’s interpretation of the playing God critique to claim that the existing governance literature lacks …

Ai Companions And Adolescent Social Relationships: Benefits, Risks, And Bidirectional Influences, Xiaoran Sun, Yunqi Wang, Brandon Mcdaniel Jan 2026

Ai Companions And Adolescent Social Relationships: Benefits, Risks, And Bidirectional Influences, Xiaoran Sun, Yunqi Wang, Brandon Mcdaniel

Health Services and Informatics Research

AI companions (AI-Cs)—rapidly emerging conversational agents built on large language models that can provide personalized humanlike companionship—create unprecedented opportunities for adolescents to form emotional bonds with nonhuman entities during a critical period for social development. In this article, we discuss the interplay between adolescents' use of AI-Cs and their social relationships based on theoretical hypotheses driving research on digital communication and adolescent well-being. We explore the benefits and risks of AI-Cs to social development based on the stimulation hypothesis and the displacement hypothesis: AI-Cs can provide safe spaces for identity exploration and emotional expression, potentially building skills that transfer to …


Read My Lips: No New Constructs! Construct Proliferation As A Threat To The Future Of I-O Psychology, Nathan A. Bowling, Valerie I. Sessa, Jonathan A. Shaffer, George C. Banks Jan 2026

Read My Lips: No New Constructs! Construct Proliferation As A Threat To The Future Of I-O Psychology, Nathan A. Bowling, Valerie I. Sessa, Jonathan A. Shaffer, George C. Banks

Department of Psychology Faculty Scholarship and Creative Works

Industrial and organizational (I-O) psychology recognizes dozens of different constructs, including several individual differences, environmental variables, job attitudes, and work-related behaviors. It is, of course, necessary to retain a variety of constructs in order to adequately capture the complexities, subtleties, and diversity of work-related phenomena. But do the many constructs recognized by I-O psychologists all serve a useful purpose? Or has our field been too eager to welcome redundant, unnecessary constructs into the fold? And if I-O psychology has embraced too many unnecessary constructs, then what—if anything—should we do about it? In the current focal article, we first discuss when …


Embedding Interprofessional Education In Pediatric Clerkships: Lessons From Nebraska’S Tracking Infant Progress Statewide (Tips) Program, Grace E. Berentson, Liliana Bronner, Paige Hardy, Neil Kalsi, Brianna Brei, Kerry Miller Jan 2026

Embedding Interprofessional Education In Pediatric Clerkships: Lessons From Nebraska’S Tracking Infant Progress Statewide (Tips) Program, Grace E. Berentson, Liliana Bronner, Paige Hardy, Neil Kalsi, Brianna Brei, Kerry Miller

Posters and Presentations: Munroe-Meyer Institute

Background: NICU graduates experience disproportionate developmental and health challenges. Their families face barriers to equitable care including access to coordinated follow-up services. Traditional medical education rarely exposes students to authentic interprofessional models of care that address these inequities. The Tracking Infant Progress Statewide (TIPS) program provides developmental, social, and medical follow-up for NICU graduates across Nebraska, bringing together physicians, nurse practitioners, child developmental specialists, and nurses in a single family-centered visit. Embedding third-year medical students into this setting models collaborative practice, builds understanding of interprofessional competencies, and fosters awareness of systemic inequities affecting NICU families. This innovative curricular approach differs …

The Role Of Micrornas As Potential Biomarkers In Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma, Eirini Panteli, Epameinondas Koumpis, Vasileios Georgoulis, Georgios Petros Barakos, Evangelos Kolettas, Panagiotis Kanavaros, Alexandra Papoudou-Bai, Eleftheria Hatzimichael

Computational Medicine Center Faculty Papers

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common and clinically aggressive subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). While novel therapies such as rituximab and polatuzumab vedotin have led to improved outcomes, approximately 35% of patients eventually develop relapsed or refractory disease. MicroRNAs (miRNAs), a class of endogenous single-stranded RNAs approximately 22 nucleotides in length, play a pivotal role in the regulation of gene expression at the post-transcriptional level through interactions with complementary target RNAs and contribute significantly to the development, progression, and treatment response of DLBCL. Oncogenic miRNAs, such as miR-155, miR-21, and the miR-17-92 cluster, promote proliferation, survival, immune …
