Uplifting The Critical Value Of The Lgbtq+ Climate Workforce, San Diego Regional Climate Collaborative, Brenda Castruita, Nicole Fassina

San Diego Regional Climate Collaborative

As the world faces unprecedented environmental challenges, the need for a robust and diverse environmental workforce has never been more critical. Historically, marginalized communities are at the forefront of these challenges and often bear the brunt of impacts from our changing climate. It is vital that the climate workforce reflects the diversity of our communities and is inclusive of individuals with lived experiences that can inform equitable and effective solutions. Among these marginalized communities, the LGBTQ+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer or Questioning, and others) community is particularly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change.¹ Research underscores how LGBTQ+ individuals …

Learning From Oversampling: A Systematic Exploitation Of Oversampling To Address Data Scarcity Issues In Deep Learning- Based Magnetic Resonance Image Reconstruction, Ibsa Kumara Jalata, Reeshad Khan, Ukash Nakarmi

Computer Science and Computer Engineering Faculty Publications and Presentations

Data acquisitions in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) are inherently slow due to sequential acquisition protocol. Image reconstruction from under-sampled data is posed as an inverse problem in traditional model-based learning paradigms. Recent data-centric learning frameworks such as deep learning (DL) frameworks are data hungry, and demand a large, labeled training data sets. To address the lack of large training datasets, in MRI reconstructions, researchers approach the problem in two ways: (1) unsupervised method where the model is trained without the presence of fully sampled data. (2) using a method that efficiently use the limited dataset for training purpose. In this …

Love Of Creation: Exploring Diversity And Commonality Among Religious And Philosophical Traditions, Tim Lomas, Brendan W. Case, Matthew T. Lee, Jayanti Basu, Lindsie Bear, Richard G. Cowden, Yudit Kornberg Greenberg, Tayyab Rashid, Tyler J. Vanderweele

Faculty Publications

Love is widely recognized as one of the most important, desired, and consequential aspects of the human condition, and thus has rightly been the focus of much academic attention. However, this interest has tended to concentrate on specific forms of love—especially romantic and familial forms—to the exclusion of others. One such overlooked form is love of “creation”—of the world and the wider cosmos in which human beings find themselves. Throughout history and across cultures, this kind of love has been developed and articulated by religious and philosophical traditions in diverse ways. This article showcases a selection of ten such traditions, …

Rogers, Arkansas: The Impact Of The Frisco, Jeffrey Weaver

ATU Theses and Dissertations 2021 - Present

The second American railroad revolution transformed areas like Benton County, Arkansas, from rural farmland to urbanized cities. The railroad provided affordable transportation during the period called the New South. The railroad sparked the agricultural boom in Rogers, sending millions of apples and other agricultural goods to surrounding states. By 1900, Benton County had produced more apples than any other county in the country, elevating Rogers to one of the leading shipping hubs in Northwest Arkansas. The population increased by double-digit percentages, resetting the settlement dynamics of Benton County. In turn, the small town with a robust economy created a sensation …

The purpose of this quality improvement project was to provide bedside nurses with education about excessive alarm burden and evidence-based alarm management techniques, then implement a daily bedside alarm rounding tool to enhance interdisciplinary communication and address patient alarm limits during daily rounds.

Methods: After extensive review of the literature, prompts discussing daily alarm limits were added to …

Lgbt Cultural Competence Education For Nurse Leaders In A Large Metropolitan Healthcare System: Quality Improvement, Trevor Mcguffin, Andrew Mitchell

Doctor of Nursing Practice Papers

Background: In the United States, seven percent of adults identify as LGBT. The LGBT population is disproportionately affected by health disparities and barriers to care when compared to the cis-heterosexual population. Due to healthcare providers’ limited LGBT health education and experience, inconsistencies in LGBT culturally competent care perpetuate health disparities and barriers to care for the LGBT population.

Purpose: The purpose of this quality improvement project was to educate nurse leaders on LGBT cultural competency and facilitate nurse leaders’ behavior change.

Methods: This quality improvement project consisted of three LGBT cultural competence modules and two guided behavior change pathways. Outcomes …

An-Najah University Journal for Research - B (Humanities)

Objectives: this study sheds light on disciplinary evidence and defines its features to ascertain if an employee has committed a disciplinary offence while carrying out his job duties. It demonstrates how the Administrative Investigation Committee can establish the burden of proof. Research Problem: the adequacy of organising special rules of evidence before the Administrative Investigation Committee to detect behavioural violations. The Jordanian legislator addressed these rules in Article 146/b/2 of the Jordanian Civil Service Law No. 9 of 2020. However, these rules are not integrated, as it is assumed that the administration has complete evidence of claims of behavioural …

Assessing The Effectiveness Of Smartphone Retail Shopping Apps Through The Lens Of Customer Value, Satisfaction, And Loyalty, Jean B. Ntahontuye

Doctor of Business Administration (DBA)

Retail e-commerce revenue was $904.9 billion in 2022; of this amount, $431.4 billion was realized via smartphone retail shopping apps, which is a 95% increase from 2019, and retail e- commerce is projected to exceed $1.7 trillion by 2027 (Statista, 2023a). Given the increasing popularity of these apps among consumers, management and marketing literature continues to debate what makes consumers accept and adopt retail shopping apps as their preferred online shopping method. Failure to understand what motivates consumers to repeatedly buy household goods via smartphone retail shopping apps may cause retailers to mistarget their customers by allocating scarce resources to …

Valuing Trans Lives After Suicide: Rituals Of Commemoration In Digital Social Media Culture, Joe Edward Hatfield

Communication Faculty Publications and Presentations

In 2014, a trans teenager named Leelah Alcorn posted a suicide letter to her public Tumblr account. Almost a decade later, in 2023, Eden Knight, another young trans woman, posted a suicide letter to her public Twitter account. Both suicide letters went viral and inspired memorial hashtags on the platforms where they initially circulated. In this article, I identify similarities between the cases, conceptualizing both as rituals of commemoration aimed toward restoring value to trans lives lost too soon. My analysis shows how ordinary users leverage the connective affordances embedded within popular social media platforms to sustain structured, value-laden acts …

The Pervasiveness Of Censorship In American Prison Libraries, Brennen D. Stevens

Library Scholars Manuscripts

In the United States, prison libraries serve a vital role in the rehabilitation of prisoners. Despite this, there are ongoing measures to withhold entire genres of literature from the hands of prisoners, restricting the abilities of prison libraries to provide educational lessons using sensitive topics. These book bans can occur between the local to state levels and are difficult for prisoners to appeal. The issues that this can cause are often out of view of the public, and can only be addressed by encouraging public engagement for change. This editorial attempts to engage with a general audience by providing an …

The Effects Of Gender-Based Occupational Segregation On Women's Earnings In The United States And Canada, Jadyn G. Milius

Proceedings of the Jepson Undergraduate Conference on International Economics

The gender wage gap continues to prove a contentious topic with some going as far as to question its existence. However, scholarly works continue to prove it is real and impactful. More fruitful debates have arisen about the source of this disparity in wages. This paper seeks to analyze one possible explanation for the pay gap: gender-based occupational segregation. I used OLS regressions based on women working full-time between the ages of sixteen and sixty-five to measure this. I find a negative effect of segregated occupations on women’s earnings across countries and years. On a similar note, the percentage of …
