Feelings Of Loneliness And Their Associations With The Type Of Social Media Use In College Students: Mixed Methods Study, Andrei Sigunov

Liberty University Research Week

The issue of loneliness remains a big concern for a number of people nowadays. Loneliness appears as a predictor and an outcome of many mental impairments. Response to loneliness may be observed from behavioral and physiological sides by exploring subjective feelings and autonomic nervous response. There is an increasing number of social media users which results in increased screen time. The evidence of these relationships is mixed. Whereas some articles suggest that time spent on social media has a negative impact on people and increases feelings of loneliness, other studies give evidence that it may help people maintain or even …


Worker Engagement In Faith-Based Nonprofit Organizations: The Roles Of Spirituality, Resilience, And Perceived Organizational Support For Engaging The Workforce, Beverly Webb Apr 2024

Worker Engagement In Faith-Based Nonprofit Organizations: The Roles Of Spirituality, Resilience, And Perceived Organizational Support For Engaging The Workforce, Beverly Webb

Liberty University Research Week

Nonprofit organizations rely heavily upon volunteerism and skilled employees willing to accept lower salaries to accomplish an organization's mission. Limited funding and surging needs in the nonprofit sector require a greater understanding of engaged workers to fully engage the workforce, where losses for nonengaged workers were estimated in the trillions globally. Research has supported the influence of spirituality, resilience, or perceived organizational support on worker engagement in for-profit and nonprofit organizations in varied settings. This study examined the relationships between spirituality, resilience, perceived organizational support, and worker engagement in Christian faith-based nonprofit organizations. Data was collected from two Christian faith-based …

Immersion In Curriculum: A Study Of The Lived Experiences Of Counseling Students On An Lu Send Trip To Munich, Germany, Debbie Millman

Liberty University Research Week

CACREP (2016) accreditation standard F.2 requires counselors-in-training to learn about social and cultural diversity as part of their master’s degree program. Students learn about multicultural counseling models and theories, explore their own cultural identities, and begin to see how their cultural identity may affect clients (CACREP, 2016). As the counseling field changes, counselor educators need to know what students must learn to become effective counselors (Beckstein et al., 2022; Harrichand et al., 2021; Singh et al., 2020). Two counselor educators served as trip leaders on the LU Send trip, where they served as mentors and facilitated cultural immersion experiences. Study …

Moustakas’ transcendental phenomenological approach was used to examine 12 Gen Z teachers’ shared experiences with workplace relationships. Data were collected through individual interviews, journal entries, and a focus group. Data analysis was conducted to answer the question: “What …

Crushed In A Crowd: Crisis Communication In Concert Tragedies, Rebecca Kicinski

Liberty University Research Week

Concerts are one of the most exciting events that can happen in a fan’s life. However, a concert can change from a thrilling experience to a terrifying nightmare in an instant. In the music industry, concert crises are more common than expected. Many of these crises result from poor event management or unruly crowds. Crowd surges, in particular, have resulted in thousands of injuries and dozens of deaths at concerts throughout the years. Each concert crisis resulted in a process of crisis communication from the artist and their management. A close analysis and comparison of two concert crises, Travis Scott …

Can Time Really Heal: The Long-Term Impacts Of Joint Custody Arrangements, Savannah Mccullough Apr 2024

Can Time Really Heal: The Long-Term Impacts Of Joint Custody Arrangements, Savannah Mccullough

Liberty University Research Week

Due to a growing diversity of family structures, children grow up in a variety of living arrangements, especially if their parents are separated or divorced. The most common solution for these divorced families is joint custody or dual-residence arrangements, where children spend up to 50% of their time in each parent's household. The current literature on the effects of joint custody arrangements shows mixed results, for children's overall adjustment and well-being seem to depend more on moderating factors like the child's age, exposure to interparental conflict, and parent-child relationship quality. This thesis reviews the existing literature on the advantages and …

Aesculapius Journal (Health Sciences & Medicine)

The purpose of this study was to analyze the lecture materials provided in medical schools through a diversity lens. Skin pathologies manifest distinctively on various shades of skin and physicians must be equipped with the proper knowledge to identify and diagnose these conditions accurately and promptly. For most medical students, images in prominent textbooks and lecture slides are their first encounter with disease presentations. Therefore, it is important to analyze the diversity of skin tones in the content that is being delivered. Specifically, the use of images featuring darker skin tones compared to those depicting lighter skin tones. This study …


Induced Oxidation Effects On Physical And Mechanical Properties Of Lignite From Tempoku, Hokkaido, Japan For Sustainable Mining Via Subsurface Cultivation And Gasification Method, Akm Badrul Alam, Noritaka Aramaki, Shuji Tamamura, Akio Ueno, Takuma Murakami, Yoshiaki Fujii, Katsuhiko Kaneko Apr 2024

Induced Oxidation Effects On Physical And Mechanical Properties Of Lignite From Tempoku, Hokkaido, Japan For Sustainable Mining Via Subsurface Cultivation And Gasification Method, Akm Badrul Alam, Noritaka Aramaki, Shuji Tamamura, Akio Ueno, Takuma Murakami, Yoshiaki Fujii, Katsuhiko Kaneko

Journal of Sustainable Mining

The lignite resource has been under consideration for the subsurface cultivation and gasification (SCG) method to produce biomethane from lignite in Hokkaido, Japan. The primary phase of the method entails initiating the oxidative transformation of lignite using an H2O2 solution, resulting in the formation of dissolved organic carbon (DOC), a pivotal component. To examine the effects of induced oxidation on lignite's mechanical properties, artificial oxidation tests were conducted to form DOC. While there was a slight decrease in P-wave velocity and density, the uniaxial compression and indirect tensile strengths, as well as stiffness, did not decrease. These …
