Increasing Rural Teacher Preparedness Through A Teacher Residency, Robin Valente, Jaclyn Tejwani, Valentin Pedroza, Selena Cartznes

The Rural Educator

This promising practice describes an innovative approach to teacher education that a partnership among three rural districts and a university implemented through a rural teacher residency program . The Kern Rural Teacher Residency (KRTR) program in Kern County, California, was a five-year, federally funded grant program at California State University, Bakersfield (CSUB). KRTR was a district-serving teacher education program that paired a rigorous full-year classroom apprenticeship with graduate-level educational content. In a multi-year study that utilized surveys, focus groups, document review, and extant data analysis, findings indicated that, through participation in the residency, completers felt prepared to teach in rural …

A Geographical Analysis Of Canadian Students Taking Independent Music Lessons: The Rural Experience, Ross M. Purves, Rena Upitis Oct 2022

A Geographical Analysis Of Canadian Students Taking Independent Music Lessons: The Rural Experience, Ross M. Purves, Rena Upitis

The Rural Educator

The engagement of students taking private music lessons is affected by a range of factors, one of which is the geographic location of the student’s family. This is a geographical analysis of 6,500 questionnaire responses completed by Canadian music teachers, students, and parents, including 819 responses (12.6%) from participants living in ‘rural’ areas, as defined by Statistics Canada. Participants’ home locations were categorized on a five-point ordinal scale from ‘rural’ to ‘very large urban population center’, data-matched with further geospatial data relating to deprivation and road distances, and assessed for strength and direction of association with questionnaire items. Results revealed …

Pandemics In Hawaii, Rex Vicente Manglicmot Oct 2022

Pandemics In Hawaii, Rex Vicente Manglicmot

Dartmouth College Master’s Theses

Pandemics are a phenomenon that have existed throughout humanity. The associated diseases they have brought have affected societies’ economies, cultures, and demographics. The biomedical sciences and the field of public health have done tremendous work combating pandemics by researching disease etiology as well as developing effective therapeutics and preventive vaccines. However, with the recent rise of COVID-19 and the accompanying politicization of the pandemic, critique of public health professionals, and the ascendance of anti-vaxxers, we see that science alone is insufficient to persuade disbelievers to follow public safety protocols. The numbers alone are not enough, and a new persuasive lens …

Functionality Of The Gracilis Collateral Is Impaired Following Arteriogenesis And Cell Transplantation, Ada A. Tadeo Oct 2022

Functionality Of The Gracilis Collateral Is Impaired Following Arteriogenesis And Cell Transplantation, Ada A. Tadeo

Biomedical Engineering

Peripheral Arterial Disease involves narrowed arteries, reducing blood flow to limbs. Increasing blood flow to those extremities is possible by redirecting the blood to flow through natural bypasses (i.e. collateral arteries), which can enlarge via arteriogenesis to maintain blood supply once the prominent arteries have become occluded. This study aims to investigate how arteriogenesis affects collateral function, if myoblast transplantation can stimulate collateral growth, and how that in turn may affect collateral function. Femoral artery ligation was performed to mimic the blockage that occurs in patients with ischemic diseases on lean mice and mice with diet induced obesity (DIO). A …

Reckoning With Structural Racism In Legal Education: Methods Toward A Pedagogy Of Antiracism, Doron Samuel-Siegel Oct 2022

Reckoning With Structural Racism In Legal Education: Methods Toward A Pedagogy Of Antiracism, Doron Samuel-Siegel

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

There is an empty quality to much of what passes as "diversity, equity, and inclusion" work in legal education. Despite a robust body ofscholarship on teaching law consistent with the goals of antiracism, many legal educators struggle to put theory into practice. This Article responds to that struggle, offering a holistic, methodical approach to a pedagogy of antiracism whose goal is twofold: create conditions in which racially minoritized students learn to their full potential, free from the harms of traditional legal education; and equip all students, regardless of identity, to contribute to the dismantlement of structural racism. Absent such pedagogy, …

Queer Liberation's Long March Towards Equality: How Lgbtqia+ Advocates May Seek To Combat The Rise Of Anti-Lgbtqia+ State-Level Legislation And Substantiate Broader Lasting Legal Protections In A Post-Bostock World, Davis J. Villano Oct 2022

Queer Liberation's Long March Towards Equality: How Lgbtqia+ Advocates May Seek To Combat The Rise Of Anti-Lgbtqia+ State-Level Legislation And Substantiate Broader Lasting Legal Protections In A Post-Bostock World, Davis J. Villano

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The note examines the implications of the landmark Supreme Court decision in Bostock v. Clayton County, Georgia, which ruled that Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits employment discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. While this decision represents a significant step forward for LGBTQIA+ rights, the article argues that it does not provide comprehensive protection, as evidenced by the ongoing proliferation of anti-transgender legislation and hate crimes. It emphasizes the need for legislative action, particularly through the passage of the Equality Act, to address these gaps and ensure broader legal protections for LGBTQIA+ individuals.

Hardware Security For Wireless Communications Systems Using Antenna-Based Radio Frequency Fingerprint Engineering, Noemi Miguelez Gomez Oct 2022

Hardware Security For Wireless Communications Systems Using Antenna-Based Radio Frequency Fingerprint Engineering, Noemi Miguelez Gomez

Doctoral Dissertations and Master's Theses

The design and application of novel physical-layer security techniques have been increasing in the last decades as means to enhance the security that more traditional techniques provide to wireless communications systems. Well-known hardware security techniques, such as radio frequency fingerprinting, use unintended manufacturing process variations and unique hardware structures in the semiconductors for applications such as identification and classification of the source of different transmitted signals, and detection of hardware modifications. The uniqueness of the features that two different modules present, even maintaining the same design, can be used for modules characterization at a lower cost and complexity than other …

“Nothing To Do But Be Borne And Steered”: Unpacking Feminist Scripts In Elana Arnold’S Damsel, Jenna Spiering, Nicole Ann Amato Oct 2022

“Nothing To Do But Be Borne And Steered”: Unpacking Feminist Scripts In Elana Arnold’S Damsel, Jenna Spiering, Nicole Ann Amato

Faculty Publications

Feminism in novels marketed for young adults often reflects the values of a popular feminism that relies on individual and personal means of empowerment, rather than critiquing or seeking to dismantle systems of domination. In this paper, we illumminate frameworks and methods for engaging students in careful readings and evaluations of texts marketed as feminist, through an analysis of Elana Arnold’s feminist fairy tale, Damsel (2018). Drawing on theoretical frameworks of popular feminism, feral feminism, and theories of becoming, the authors use Critical Content Anlaysis to explore several tenets in contemporary feminist thought in order to analyze Arnold’s text and …

Approximation By Basis Pursuit: Background And Application To The Construction Of Efficient Spline Approximations, Babita Timalsina Oct 2022

Approximation By Basis Pursuit: Background And Application To The Construction Of Efficient Spline Approximations, Babita Timalsina

Graduate Student Scholarship

Basis Pursuit was developed primarily as a tool in the field of signal processing, beginning in the mid 1990’s. The idea is to model the behavior of discrete signals using a wide range of functional behaviors and scales and to obtain an accurate and efficient representation of the signal using a minimal number of functions from a large “dictionary” of possible behaviors. The key observation is by formulating the representation as an ℓ1 optimization, the problem can be posed as a linear program so that the optimal solution uses no more than the number of constraints - it must be …

Amphibian Collapses Increased Malaria Incidence In Central America, Michael R. Springborn, Joakim A. Weill, Karen R. Lips, Roberto Ibáñez, Aniruddha Ghosh

All Peer-Reviewed Publications

Biodiversity in ecosystems plays an important role in supporting human welfare, including regulating the transmission of infectious diseases. Many of these services are not fully-appreciated due to complex environmental dynamics and lack of baseline data. Multicontinental amphibian decline due to the fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) provides a stark example. Even though amphibians are known to affect natural food webs—including mosquitoes that transmit human diseases—the human health impacts connected to their massive decline have received little attention. Here we leverage a unique ensemble of ecological surveys, satellite data, and newly digitized public health records to show an empirical link between …

Defining Aviation “Skills” To Ensure Effective, Safe, And Efficient Evaluations: A Qualitative Study, Jorge L. D. Albelo Ph.D., Haydee M. Cuevas, Marisa Aguiar, Christopher Piccone, Karlene Petitt, Raquel Villagomez

Publications

The present qualitative case study strives to define the term skill within aviation, drawing from the cognitive psychology, organizational psychology, and training literature as well as input from subject matter experts in the aviation industry. A review of the published literature revealed no consensus for defining what constitutes a skill. While some definitions follow a task-based approach, others emphasize more cognitively based representations. Moreover, a formal, commonly accepted definition of the term skill within the aviation domain is lacking. The researchers employed a qualitative case study methodology to extract true descriptions from the subject matter experts to bound and expand …

Is Teacher Pay Adequate: Teachers' Opinions On Their Expectations, Requirements, And Pay In Columbia, Sc, Presley Garrard Oct 2022

Is Teacher Pay Adequate: Teachers' Opinions On Their Expectations, Requirements, And Pay In Columbia, Sc, Presley Garrard

Senior Theses

The notion of raising teacher pay has been a topic for discussion in the past decades. There are many reasons to raise teacher pay. This paper discusses expectations, requirements, and the professionalism of teachers as being some of the reasons for increasing teacher pay by analyzing peer-reviewed articles and journals. There is an argument that teacher pay does not need to be raised and this argument is acknowledged. In addressing teacher pay, primary research sought teachers’ opinions on the demands and expectations of their job and their pay as an accurate reflection of such demands and expectations. This data was …
