Current Aspects Of Eco-Physiological Studies Of Meadow Plants, Momcilo Konic

IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)

Basic parameters applied in eco-physiological studies of meadow plants are: water balance (hydration, transpiration intensity, amounts and forms of water, water deficit, etc.), assim­ilation balance (CO2 balance, assimilation performance, compensation effect), matter pro­duction. Eco-physiological studies should be followed by microclimatic measurements and the anatomical analysis of the meadow plants under study. Eco-physiological studies of meadow plants, if performed in a complex and systematic way, constitute the safest basis for detennining the characters of the entire meadow plant com­munity under the concrete conditions of natural factors prevailing in terms of natural condi­tions and human influence.

Landscape Management Problems Of Grassland Utilization In Mountainous Regions Of The Gdr, Peter Hentschel

IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)

In the medium-altitude mountains of the GDR, many meadows cannot be utilized for intensive forage production. Because of their importance for recreation, game feeding and nature con­servation, general afforestation is not possible. A model is presented that allows for every meadow to choose between intensive utili­zation, afforestation, and reservation for other social needs. Management methods for mead­ows not suitable for intensive utilization, espe­cially the employment of herbicides, are dis­cussed.

Exploring The High School Experiences Of Black Males With Their Considerations To Enroll In College, Maria Fernandes

Doctor of Education Program Dissertations

This qualitative study applied a phenomenological research approach to explore the high school experiences of black males with their considerations to enroll in college. The research was guided by social network theory as a lens to understand Black males’ considerations to enroll in college upon high school completion. Ten Black male college students participated in semi-structured interviews, and an analysis of the response data revealed two main themes: 1. socially influenced college enrollment considerations and 2. motivation rooted in self-confidence. The findings in this study highlighted the role authentic interpersonal relationships and self-determination play in Black males’ college enrollment considerations. …

Integrating Library Information Sessions Into An Introductory Business Course, Meli Taylor

Midwest Business Librarian Summit (MBLS)

In this presentation, I will recount how I integrated library information sessions into an introductory business course at Bowling Green State University. I will focus on how I collaborated with Business College stakeholders, managed time constraints, and refined my lesson to best serve the needs of first-year business students.

When I began in my position in Fall 2024, there was minimal interaction between the Business College and the University Library. In particular, business students largely did not seem aware of library resources, including business databases. In response to these circumstances, I aimed to connect with all incoming first-year business students …

What The 10-K Won’T Tell You: Earnings Calls And Corporate Crisis Response, Lumarie Guth

Midwest Business Librarian Summit (MBLS)

A marketing class assigns student groups to crisis management cases involving companies where something went wrong. How did those companies respond to the crisis? How did they communicate with stakeholders? Where were mistakes made? While quarterly financial statements can show the financial impact of a crisis, earnings calls offer something different: insight into how companies explain, frame, and respond to those events in real time. Because earnings calls happen quarterly, they can be used to track a crisis from its initial impact to its immediate fallout and longer-term repercussions. They also often include strategic insight and analyst questions not available …

Sustainability Amid Sanctions: Adapting Business Librarian Services To Provide Equitable Services To Incarcerated Students, Ryan E. Yoakum

Midwest Business Librarian Summit (MBLS)

As of 2025, there are over 1.8 million people incarcerated in the United States, but only 6% hold an associate degree or higher. Yet research shows that earning even an associate’s degree can reduce recidivism by 85%. Given the higher rate of incarcerated individuals in Southern states, higher education in prison has the power to transform lives. These programs, however, must work around restrictions set by a state’s department of corrections, which can often lead to disparities between their experience and those of students on campus. These restrictions impact research and other programs supported by academic librarians.

Camp health services are the cornerstone of health and safety. From managing small injuries to medical emergencies, it is the area of camp that encompasses care, safety, health promotion, injury prevention, illness and injury management, and the overall “make you feel better” place. Hiring the right health staff and setting them up for success with appropriate tools, staff training, and solid processes are key to the success at summer camp. When there is a crisis, an injury, or an illness, the outcome can be devastating if not managed in a timely and effective way. Creating the best health center experience …
