The Perception Of Physical Activity And Social Support For Physical Activity Among Native Hawaiians 55 Years And Older, Verna Hanashiro

Dissertations

The benefits of physical activity on healthy aging and longevity have repeatedly been identified. Despite these known benefits, sedentary living is a serious and pervasive health problem among older adults throughout the United States, including the Native Hawaiian older adult population in Hawaii. Previous research has identified social support as a major facilitator for participation in physical activity.

The purpose of this study was to examine the perception of physical activity and social support for physical activity among Native Hawaiians 55 years of age and older.

Sanders Increases Lead Over Biden As Buttigieg Vaults Into Top 3; Little Support For Potential Challengers To Trump 4/22/2019, Unh Survey Center

All UNH Survey Center Polls

Bernie Sanders continues to lead the Democratic field in New Hampshire and a plurality of likely Democratic voters say he is the most progressive candidate and has the best chance to win the general election. Support for South Bend (IN) Mayor Pete Buttigieg has increased markedly since February and nearly equals support for Joe Biden. Half of likely Democratic voters express concern over how nominating a candidate over 70 will affect the general election; fewer are worried about nominating an openly gay or female candidate. Likely Republican primary voters express little support for potential challengers to Donald Trump.

Understanding Homework Reviews Through Sentiment Classification, Zachary Mekus

McKelvey School of Engineering Graduate Student Theses & Dissertations

This thesis uses a naive bayes sentiment classifier to analyze six semesters of homework review data from CSE427S. Experiments describe the benefits of an automated classification system and explore original ways of reducing the number of features and reviews. A new algorithm is proposed that tries to take advantage of aspects of the review data that limit classification accuracy. This analysis can be used to help guide the process of automatically using short reviews to understand student sentiment.

Rsa In Young Adults: Identifying Naturally-Occurring Response Patterns And Correlates, Brittany K. Willey

Clinical Psychology Dissertations

Few studies have focused on the joint contributions of baseline and stress-responsive RSA on mental health outcomes, and no research to date has examined naturally-occurring profiles of RSA, which may be more predictive of emotion regulation ability and mental health outcomes than looking at either component of RSA alone. Participants were 235 (87.1% female, 73.6% Caucasian) undergraduates ages 18-39 (M = 19.62, SD = 2.12). In Part 1, latent growth mixture modeling (LGMM) was used to identify naturally-occurring physiological profiles accounting for both resting and stress-reactive RSA among young adults. In Part 2, multivariate ANCOVAs were used to predict …

Advocating For The Use Of Poetry And Mixed Media Work In Analytic Processes, Jason D. Dehart

The Qualitative Report

As part of my analytical process of looking at data collected from a pilot study on the use of film in the classroom, I discovered that I had the space to engage in a creative analysis process. In this article, I propose that creative methods be employed when analyzing data. An arts-based approach to research (Barone & Eisner, 1997) led to two creative products for my research: Poetry, which has been used with research in the past (Cahnmann, 2003; McCullis, 2013) and mixed media. This article explores relevant literature about integrating poetry and other arts into analysis and serves to …

So You Want To Do Post-Intentional Phenomenological Research?, Katherine E. Soule, Melissa Freeman

The Qualitative Report

In this article, phenomenology, both in its philosophical and methodological variants, is introduced in the form of a fictional dialogue between a student justifying her interest in using a post-intentional phenomenological approach in her dissertation to her major professor. The dialogue tackles founding philosophers, notably Husserl, Heidegger, and Merleau-Ponty; contemporary researchers, including A. Giorgi, B. Giorgi, van Manen, and Vagle; several phenomenological concepts, such as intentionality, bracketing, and bridling; and provides examples of three distinct approaches to phenomenological research.

Using Cognitive Apprenticeship To Enculturate New Students Into A Qualitative Research, Marisa E. Exter, Iryna Ashby

The Qualitative Report

Acquiring and mastering research skills is essential for doctoral students preparing for a future in academia or research-focused positions. However, they are among the most difficult to teach, and significant practice and enculturation is necessary to attain proficiency. The subjective nature of qualitative analysis often leads students to doubt their own abilities. This paper describes how cognitive apprenticeship was paired with Lincoln and Guba’s Constant Comparative Method for Naturalistic Inquiry, using a hands-on, physical card sort approach to mentor a novice qualitative researcher. Steps followed are discussed in detail, and voices of both the mentor and mentee are shared.

Enhancing The Self-Development Of Librarians Through Entrepreneurship Opportunities In Library And Information Science Profession, Usuka Enweremadu Isaac Department Of Library And Information Science, Faculty Of Education, Ekere Chimaobi Felix Professor, Department Of Library And Information Science, Faculty Of Education, Oviri Beatrice Uchenna Lecturer, Library And Information Science, Department Of Educational Management, Ajibo Chidi Ambrose Librarian

Library Philosophy and Practice (e-journal)

Self-development is one of the core aspirations of Library and Information Science (LIS) professionals as they get employed in any library institution or other organizations. Librarians aspire to move from one level to another in their years of active services rather than depending on salaries and promotions for survival. More so, investing energy, expertise, ideas and capital in entrepreneurship ventures is worthwhile for achieving high level self-development. The paper explored the concept of entrepreneurship and self-development, entrepreneurial opportunities in library and information science (LIS) profession, ways entrepreneurship enhances self-development of LIS professionals, sources of capital for entrepreneurial ventures in LIS …

Gravity Wave Ducting Observed In The Mesosphere Over Jicamarca, Peru, Gerald A. Lehmacher, Christopher J. Heale, Jonathan B. Snively, Erhan Kudeki, Pablo M. Reyes, Kiwook Lee

Publications

Short-period gravity waves are ubiquitous in the mesosphere, but the vertical structures of their perturbations are difficult to observe. The Jicamarca 50-MHz very high frequency radar allows observations of winds and turbulent scatter with high temporal and vertical resolution. We present a case of a quasi-monochromatic gravity wave with period 520 (±40) s that is likely ducted below a southward wind jet between 68 and 74 km. Above this layer of evanescence, a northward wind enables it to emerge into a more stable layer, where it is refracted to a short vertical wavelength of 2.2 (±0.2) km; data show evidence …

A Characterization Of Structures Across The Hurricane Ridge Fault In The Southeastern Olympic Peninsula, Wa, Hamma Hamma River Transect, Veronica Catherine Biesiada

Dissertations and Theses

The Olympic Mountains in northwestern Washington, USA are defined by the arcuate shape of the basaltic Crescent Formation (Fm.) that wraps a faulted and folded meta-sedimentary core. This area was developed through accretion and exhumation by subduction-related processes, but how this relates to the deformational history of the area is not fully understood. The region has been mapped geologically, however little focus has been placed on interpreting meso-scale structures. This study investigates structures along a transect where the Hamma Hamma River crosses the Hurricane Ridge Fault, which juxtaposes the meta-sedimentary core (west) and the basaltic Crescent Fm. (east). In the …

Data First, Tax Next: How Fiji’S Technology Can Improve New Zealand’S 'Netflix Tax' (Part 2), Richard Thompson Ainsworth

Faculty Scholarship

This is the second in a four-part series addressing VAT/GST avoidance schemes involving remote sales of services. These schemes have been growing in importance. The IMF reports that the services component of cross-border trade has been on the rise for fifty-years or more, making the Internet a serious threat to revenue. Technology has accelerated tax avoidance.

Statutory draftsmen in New Zealand have looked at this problem directly with what has been called the Netflix Tax. Technologist in Fiji have been struggling with similar problems and have developed technology-based security systems that would seem to address remote sales of services more …
