Universities As Innovation Hubs For Television Stations In Uganda., Imokola John Baptist

Executive Masters in Media Leadership and Innovation

Television in Uganda continues to struggle to deal with changes in the industry, which has ultimately led to the closure or restructuring of many organizations. Many of those that remain are also struggling to survive in the market. For them to remain successful and viable, they need to constantly innovate to deal with these changes, as well as satisfy the needs of their audience. Innovation, however, is expensive in terms of time, finances and human resources. This study set out to examine the possibilities of using journalism schools in universities as innovation hubs for the television industry. The study was …

Trans And Gender Diverse Inclusion In Academic Library Hiring, Keahi Adolpho, Stephen G. Krueger, Luke Sutherland, Adrian Williams

Library Faculty and Staff Publications

We do not know how many trans and gender diverse people work in libraries in the United States. Like the US Census, the American Library Association’s demographic survey of its members (which is by no means a complete or accurate representation of the profession) asks if respondents are male or female (Rosa & Henke, 2017). In addition to erasing anybody who is not one of these two things, this question does not provide information on whether respondents are trans or gender diverse. And yet, we are here: all four of the authors of this chapter are trans people who work …

The Role Of Administration In Creating Equitable Educational Practices, Erin A. Burch

All Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Effective leadership practices in education have been extensively researched, yet inequitable outcomes for marginalized groups remain despite evidence-based strategies and accountability measures. How can educational leaders and administrators support an equitable education for all students? Effective leadership practices in education require a multifaceted approach that includes collaboration, culturally responsive practices, developmental supervision, and a focus on equity. Continuous professional development, supportive supervisory practices, and a commitment to building a collaborative school culture are essential for addressing systemic inequities and improving outcomes for all students.

Eskape: Navigating The Global Battlefield For Antimicrobial Resistance And Defense In Hospitals, Kamna Ravi, Baljit Singh

Articles

The current healthcare environment is at risk due to the facilitated transmission and empowerment of the ESKAPE pathogens, comprising of Enterococcus faecium, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Enterobacter species. These pathogens have posed significant challenges to global public health and the threat has only amplified over time. These multidrug-resistant bacteria have become adept at escaping the effects of conventional antibiotics utilized, leading to severe healthcare-associated infections and compromising immunocompromised patient outcomes to a greater extent. The impact of ESKAPE pathogens is evident in the rapidly rising rates of treatment failures, increased mortality, and elevated healthcare costs. …

A Systematic Comprehensive Pressure Injury (Pi) Preventive Plan To Guide Care, Bertha Calloway

Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP)

Patients living in long-term care facilities are highly susceptible to developing pressure injuries. Decubitus and pressure ulcers, commonly identified as pressure injuries, are potentially the most highly preventable injuries in the healthcare setting. These adverse events remain a critical problem. Pressure injuries in the United States continue to increase due to a growing aging population and a lack of efficient, theory-based preventive plans. Examining this healthcare concern as a crisis versus an inevitable run-off of long-term care gives practitioners a necessary perspective to reverse and eliminate pressure injury prevalence. Pressure injuries frequently occur among older adults with compromised health and …

Implementing A Protocol To Increase The Uptake Of The Hpv Vaccine, Erica K. Bartee

Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP)

In the United States, human papillomavirus is the most persistently occurring sexually acquired infection. Nearly all human papillomavirus-associated cancers are the result of human papillomavirus infection. The human papillomavirus vaccine is a safe and effective public health intervention to prevent human papillomavirus-associated cancers and reduce morbidities and deaths. Human papillomavirus vaccine uptake falls below the benchmark, which is to attain 80% vaccination in adolescents. At an urban pediatrics clinic, where the project was implemented, only 25% of 11-12-year-olds were vaccinated between June 1, 2023, through August 24, 2023, lower than average. Alabama’s vaccination uptake incidence is 59.2%, compared to the …

National Integration And Institution Building, Haiwen Zhou

Economics Faculty Publications

The mutual dependence between national integration and institution building is established in a formal model. It is shown that a decrease in transportation costs, but not necessarily an increase in population size, reduces the equilibrium number of states and the adoption of rule-based institutions. With endogenous transportation costs or endogenous population size, the unification process can feed on itself. The model is illustrated by the state of Qin's unification of China in 221 BC. During this process of national integration, transformations from relation-based governance to rule-based governance happened.

State Governance And Less-Skilled Migrant Workers In South Korea, Weejun Park

Theses and Dissertations--Geography

This dissertation examines the migration governance of South Korea with a focus on the immigration of less-skilled migrant workers. While geographers and broader social scientists have explored this topic, previous studies have two main foci: 1) individual immigrants and their activities; and 2) migration policy development. Despite these studies’ contribution to the scholarship, there seems to be a relative lack of interest in the South Korean state as a potentially crucial actor in governing less-skilled migrant workers. To address this gap, this dissertation draws upon (political) geography, related social sciences, and interdisciplinary fields such as border studies, migration studies, and …

New Principal Perceptions Of Assistant Principal Leadership Experiences That Prepare Assistant Principals For The Principalship, Ralph E. Chew

Doctor of Education Dissertations

Due to several factors, including salary and increased demands, there is a shortage of qualified leaders to assume the principal role. Although there is a shortage, there is also a bench of credentialed leaders in assistant principals. The problem is identifying how school districts and principals build the capacity of and prepare their assistant principals for the principal role. This study explored how novice principals perceived how their experiences as assistant principals prepared them for the principalship and the perceived role of current principals in preparing their assistant principals for the principalship. An explanatory mixed methods approach was utilized. Novice …

Identifying The Perception And Impact Of Culture On Job Retention At A Local Government Human Services Organization, Shenickie Mauney Ford

Doctor of Education Dissertations

Acknowledging and understanding the factors connected to job retention is a phenomenon that has been studied and researched by many. Retention and turnover within the human services field are also critical as they impact the organization, the employees, and the public. This mixed methods research study collected quantitative and qualitative data. The purpose of this study was to examine organizational culture and the impact of job retention at Help Services Organization (HSO), a North Carolina government agency that provides public services to the community. A 29-question Likert scale survey was administered to 70 employees of HSO. The survey was designed …

Advanced Air Mobility, Economic Impacts, And Equity Considerations, Robert M. Mcnab

Economics Faculty Publications

Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) may, in the coming decades, result in tens of thousands of new jobs and billions of dollars in additional economic activity. While much of the discussion surrounding AAM focuses on the technical aspects of the nascent industry, estimates of the potential economic impact vary significantly. Much less attention has been paid in the literature to potential externalities, positive and negative, and how these externalities may impact estimates of economic impact. We argue that much work remains to be done before policy advisors and decisions makers can formulate and implement strategies based on the projections of future …

Investigating Inland Waterway Transport Through A Sustainable Development Perspective: A Case Study Of Magdalena River (Colombia), Natalia Calderón-Rivera

World Maritime University Ph.D. Dissertations

The development of transport systems significantly influences economies, growth, and welfare of populations. However, these systems can have negative consequences, such as water and air pollution, traffic congestion, noise, and biodiversity loss. To address these challenges, it is essential to implement strategies that mitigate negative effects while improving the environmental, social, and economic conditions of the population. In this regard, inland water transport (IWT) is globally recognized as a more sustainable transport alternative due to its high cargo load capacities and comparatively lower environmental and social impacts. In Colombia, the Magdalena River – the country’s most important river basin – …

The Rise Of E-Commerce On Retail Markets And Implication For Thailand, Panupong Phetborrisuth

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

In the past few years, Thailand has witnessed a dramatic transformation in e-commerce due to the rapid growth of online shopping. With the emerging initiatives such as Thailand 4.0 and digital tools like PromptPay, more people are using online services, but this also means traditional shops are struggling to keep up. Therefore, this study aims to investigate how e-commerce has affected retail market and consumer’s shopping behavior in Thailand. To better understand this shift, the study examines data from 2014 to 2024, specifically a period when online shopping expanded significantly. This research uses both survey responses and official reports to …

Jointly Operating A Merged Junior Academy: A Case Study Of Interracial Cooperation In Seventh-Day Adventist Education In North America, Fabian S. Reid

Dissertations

Problem

Despite the landmark 1954 US Supreme Court decision in Brown v. Board of Education that rules segregated schools unconstitutional, the Seventh-day Adventist Church in North America continues to operate segregated schools in close proximity, a practice rooted in a 1944 General Conference vote that allowed the establishment of separate regional (predominantly Black) and state (predominantly White) conferences within the same geographical regions (a conference is a group of churches, schools, and other institutions within a specified geographic region with one central administrative body). This dual system persists even as declining enrollments and frequent school closures prompt consideration of school …

Ngo Navigators, Information Support, And Parental Assistance With Pk-12 School Decisions, Jason E. Saltmarsh

Educational Leadership & Workforce Development Faculty Publications

This study provides empirical insights into the perceptions and agency of navigators who provide school selection assistance and this NGO’s unique insider–outsider status. As semi-private actors, navigators offer an important bridge between two kinds of social capital: the informal types of trust and legitimacy that families rely on, and the skills, knowledge, and networks necessary to access higher-quality schools in choice policy contexts. Data for this study are derived from an exploratory case study, including 13 in-depth interviews, documentary and social media analysis, and informal conversations. The findings illustrate the benefits and shortcomings of NGO information support in choice policy …

Not Woman Enough: How World Athletics’ Treatment Of Women With Differences In Sexual Development Violates The Olympic Charter And The Un’S Conventions Against Racial Discrimination And Discrimination Against Women, Rachel Crass

Denver Journal of International Law & Policy

In 1966, in response to growing fears that men would attempt to pose as women to win medals in elite competition, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) began gender testing all female athletes through various visual and gynecological evaluations. These tests were quickly deemed to be too invasive and were replaced by other chemical and genetic tests as scientific capabilities advanced. The new tests led to the disqualification of dozens of elite female athletes after results revealed latent Y chromosomes in women with androgen insensitivity conditions. After multiple leading medical societies and international sports governing bodies called for an end to …

Examining Information Systems Use To Facilitate The Workplace Accommodation Process, Shiya Cao

Statistical and Data Sciences: Faculty Publications

BACKGROUND: The workplace accommodation process is often affected by ineffective and inefficient communications and information exchanges among disabled employees and other stakeholders. Information systems (IS) can play a key role in facilitating a more effective and efficient accommodation process since IS has been shown to facilitate business processes and effect positive organizational changes.

OBJECTIVE: Since there is little to no research that exists on IS use to facilitate the workplace accommodation process, this paper, as a critical first step, examines how IS have been used in the accommodation process.

METHODS: Thirty-six interviews were conducted with disabled employees from various organizations. …
