Clinical Practice Guideline For A Capstone‑To‑Residency Transition Program, Rebecca Ginika Chinonso

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

The transition from student nurse to professional practice remains a vulnerable period marked by role ambiguity, stress, and early turnover. At a large medical center, the lack of a structured bridge between the final capstone experience and the residency program contributed to inconsistent onboarding, reduced confidence, and diminished resilience among new graduates. Addressing this gap is essential for strengthening retention, supporting workforce stability, and improving patient outcomes within nursing practice. An evidence‑based clinical practice guideline (CPG) outlining best‑practice recommendations for a new graduate transition program from capstone to residency was developed for the facility. The practice‑focused question asked whether the …

Effective Leadership Strategies To Retain For-Profit Education Employees After A Leadership Change, Kimberly Keene

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

Ineffective leadership transitions in for profit higher education erode employee morale, trust, and retention. Higher education business leaders recognize that ineffective leadership transitions can contribute to employee disengagement, reduced organizational commitment, and increased turnover, undermining institutional stability, workforce continuity, and organizational performance. Grounded in transformational leadership theory, the purpose of this qualitative pragmatic inquiry was to identify and explore the effective leadership strategies used by for-profit education institution leaders to retain key employees after a change in leadership. The participants were 10 leaders employed at for-profit higher education institutions in the southern United States who had successfully implemented leadership strategies …

Challenges Of Pedagogical Supervision In Côte D'Ivoire: When Three Supervisors Serve More Than 400 Teachers, Kouawo Patrice Touato

International Programs

In Côte d'Ivoire, three pedagogical supervisors support more than 400 English language teachers in one regional education directorate. Nationwide, only 85 pedagogical supervisors serve thousands of English language teachers. Limited human and financial resources make regular classroom observation and individualized teacher support challenging.

Classroom observation can contribute to teacher professional development when it is implemented as a constructive process and supported by adequate institutional capacity thereby helping to implement the Competency-Based Approach (CBA) (Nguyen, 2021; UNESCO, 2017)

Remediation Of Dioxin-Contaminated Soil In Vietnam: Vietnam-U.S. Collaboration For A Cleaner Future, Thi Hang (Helen) Tran

International Programs

Dioxin (TCDD) from Agent Orange has persisted in Vietnamese soil and sediments for decades, posing serious risks to human health and ecosystems. Since the early 2000s, Vietnam and the U.S. have collaborated to remediate heavily contaminated “hotspots” at former military airbases. This poster compares current remediation technologies, evaluates their effectiveness, advantages, and limitations and highlights future solutions for sustainable and cost-effective cleanup.

Balancing Seismic Safety And Building Construction Costs In Nepal, Tika Bahadur Thapa

International Programs

Nepal is highly vulnerable to earthquakes, yet construction affordability there remains a major challenge. The revised NBC 105:2025 introduced improved seismic design requirements compared with NBC 105:1994. However, the increased seismic demands require larger structural members and additional reinforcement, resulting in higher costs.

What If The Agricultural Sector Disappeared Tomorrow?, Valentina Tosso

International Programs

Agriculture is the foundation of our food, economy and well-being. Without it, there would be no food security, no clothing, no biofuels and no stability. This study explores why agriculture matters to everyone, the global challenges of feeding a growing population and how Argentina, as one of the world's most productive agricultural countries, can play a greater role in meeting that challenge if key economic and policy barriers are removed.

Correlation Of Dietary Habits Of Pregnant Women And Birth Weight Of Newborns In Chicumabane Gaza, Mozambique, Vicente Salomao Macuacua

International Programs

The study aims to examine the process of enrollment and continuation of higher education for young people with foster care backgrounds. An interview survey targeting students and alumni of campus-based support programs (CSP) for students with foster care backgrounds at two universities in the US Pacific Northwest was conducted. The data indicates that secure relationships with caring adults are a significant factor for those who experienced foster care, in order to gain the financial and holistic support to be successful in higher education.

The Decline Of Confidence In The U.S. Supreme Court: Evidence From The General Social Survey, 2004-2024, Lola Dragosavac

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This study examines public confidence in the United States Supreme Court and whether confidence has declined between 2004 and 2024. It also investigates whether demographic characteristics, political ideology, and confidence in other political institutions help explain the variation in confidence levels. Using data from the General Social Survey (GSS) for 2004, 2014, and 2024, this study employs a binary logistic regression approach to examine the predictors of confidence in the Court. The findings indicate that confidence in the Supreme Court declined significantly over the twenty-year period. Political ideology emerged as a strong predictor of confidence, with conservatives over three times …

Dialogic Communication Ethics As A Hopeful Response To Artificial Intelligence, Kristen Haldeman

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Within the past five years, a new technology has dominated modern culture: artificial intelligence. With a multiplicity of ways to respond to this new environment, this dissertation situates a response to artificial intelligence by combining the media ecology and communication ethics perspectives. Media ecology explores historical roots and biases of technology to learn about their influence of humanity. A dialogic communication ethics seeks to find an opening for hope to emerge. Hope, grounded in the works of Jacques Ellul and the Christian tradition, offers a new rhetorical perspective by shifting focus away from technology and to our neighbor.

Development Of Minimalist Trifunctional Building Blocks For Chemical Biology Probe Synthesis, Luke E. Bohrer

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The completion of the Human Genome Project in 2003 generated expectations that genomic information would accelerate the discovery of new protein drug targets and FDA-approved therapies. However, many small-molecule drug candidates continue to fail in clinical trials, and much of the human proteome remains undercharacterized in terms of structure, function, and disease relevance. Chemical tools are therefore essential for defining protein function, mapping protein interactions, and identifying disease-associated molecular mechanisms. Among these tools, small-molecule chemical probes provide a powerful strategy for connecting biological activity with target identification, functional analysis, and the development of effective therapies.

This dissertation describes the development …
