Gis And Cartography Supporting Neiu, Erick Howenstine
Faculty Research and Creative Activities Symposium
Geographers study place and location and these are critical to the success of an institution like ours with a (mainly) commuting student body. Our employees also often travel long distances to campus, and our 80,000 alumni are dispersed around the world but mainly still reside in the Chicago region. Many classes use the City and surrounding areas for field trips, internships and more. Our satellite campuses – El Centro, CCICS, Lake County College – add an additional dimension to our spatial challenges and opportunities. Underlying all this is a mosaic of neighborhoods, distinct socioeconomic and demographic areas, dense transportation infrastructure, …
How Unique Is Milwaukee’S 53206? An Examination Of Disaggregated Socioeconomic Characteristics Across The City And Beyond, Scott W. Hegerty
How Unique Is Milwaukee’S 53206? An Examination Of Disaggregated Socioeconomic Characteristics Across The City And Beyond, Scott W. Hegerty
Faculty Research and Creative Activities Symposium
Milwaukee’s 53206 ZIP code, located on the city’s near North Side, has drawn considerable attention for its poverty and incarceration rates, as well as for its large proportion of vacant properties. As a result, it has been the subject of academic studies, considerable news reporting, and even a documentary; it has benefited from targeted policies at the city level. Targeting specific ZIP codes, rather than other types of geographic area can raise certain issues, however. In particular, these areas were created for mail delivery rather than to facilitate socieoeconomic analysis, and they often aggregate diverse urban areas that sometimes cover …
Which Sectors Hold The Key To India's Future Economic Growth?, Hardik A. Marfatia
Which Sectors Hold The Key To India's Future Economic Growth?, Hardik A. Marfatia
Faculty Research and Creative Activities Symposium
This paper explores sectors that hold the key to India's future economic growth. The forecasts of economic growth from an autoregressive distributed lag model with stock market sectoral indices are analyzed against the benchmark autoregressive model forecasts across several forecast horizons. Results show that the information from sectoral indices improves forecasts of economic growth. However, the forecast superiority is not uniform across sectors and horizons. Auto, consumers' spending, material, metal, oil and gas, and realty sectors provide the most forecasting gains. In contrast, bankex, capital goods, finance, and industrial sectors provide superior forecasts only at horizons above one year. FMCG …
A Public Health Approach To Uncovering The Health-Related Needs Of Library Patrons, Jennifer R. Banas, Michelle Oh
A Public Health Approach To Uncovering The Health-Related Needs Of Library Patrons, Jennifer R. Banas, Michelle Oh
Faculty Research and Creative Activities Symposium
As libraries are re-envisioned and reborn as community centers and resource providers, what is their role in understanding and positively contributing to a given neighborhood’s social determinants of health (SDOH), particularly among vulnerable populations? To answer this question the Teen Services department of Chicago Public Library, a licensed professional counselor, and a NEIU team made up of a faculty researcher, an academic librarian, undergraduate students majoring in community health, collaborated to conduct a needs assessment. The aims of the needs assessment was as follows: 1) To uncover the most common health-related needs among community teens as perceived by Teen Services …
Decolonizing The Barrio: The Spatial Politics Of Culture In Chicago’S Paseo Boricua, Dennis Grammenos
Decolonizing The Barrio: The Spatial Politics Of Culture In Chicago’S Paseo Boricua, Dennis Grammenos
Faculty Research and Creative Activities Symposium
In the current neoliberal climate that has stoked an intense intercity competition for internationally footloose capital, many cities with global aspirations are encouraging urban redevelopment projects that brand and promote heterogeneous cultural enclaves as destinations for leisure and tourism consumption. Oftentimes, such enclaves emerge as "ethnoscapes" that ostensibly express the cultural identity of its residents, usually immigrant populations. In Chicago, municipal policies aimed at enhancing a visitor economy have been instrumental in the creation of the Paseo Boricua, a Puerto Rican "ethnoscape". This study examines the intersection of Chicago's urban redevelopment policies and the spatial politics of culture that unfold …
Addressing The Challenges Of Uncertainty Affecting Last-Mile Distribution In Disaster Relief, Robert A. Cook, Emmett Lodree
Addressing The Challenges Of Uncertainty Affecting Last-Mile Distribution In Disaster Relief, Robert A. Cook, Emmett Lodree
Faculty Research and Creative Activities Symposium
The study of Disaster Relief has received increasing attention for the better part of 20 years, and particularly in the wake of high-visibility storms like Hurricanes Harvey and Irma, there is little need to provide justification for the field as an area of interest. This presentation will summarize an ongoing effort to study one particular aspect of Disaster Relief, namely last-mile distribution in the face of uncertain supply. This body of work forms the bulk of my dissertation which I completed last year along with my co-author and mentor Dr. Emmett Lodree, a full Professor at the University of Alabama.
Children’S Cognitive Reflection Predicts Conceptual Understanding In Science And Mathematics, Andrew Young
Children’S Cognitive Reflection Predicts Conceptual Understanding In Science And Mathematics, Andrew Young
Faculty Research and Creative Activities Symposium
The Cognitive Reflection Test (CRT; Frederick, 2005) is the dominant measure of adult individual differences in analytic vs. intuitive cognitive style. The task was designed to measure a person's tendency to override and inhibit an intuitive response that is incorrect and engage in deliberate reflection that leads to a correct response. The CRT is a meaningful predictor of a diverse range of adult psychological and behavioral outcomes, including conceptual change in science and math learning (Shtulman & McCallum, 2014; Gómez-Chacón et al., 2014). The present research employed a newly developed CRT for children, the CRT-D (Young et al., 2018), to …
Conjunction Function: How Grammatical Categories Are Organized In Language, Ariana Bancu
Conjunction Function: How Grammatical Categories Are Organized In Language, Ariana Bancu
Faculty Research and Creative Activities Symposium
The purpose of my talk is to discuss how conjunctions function in different languages and to show how they contribute to a better understanding of the implicit knowledge we have as speakers of a language. In English, coordinating conjunctions such as ‘and’ can link a diverse range of grammatical categories: noun phrases (NP), verb phrases (VP), adjective and adverb phrases (AP), clauses, etc. Cross-linguistically, however, there are many languages that have category specific coordinating conjunctions, and such languages show that the function of coordinating conjunctions extends beyond organizing discourse. Matras (1996:178), for example, points out that “(…) coordinating conjunctions assume …
Effects Of A School-Based Social-Emotional And Character Development Program On Peer, Family, School, And Neighborhood Contexts: A Cluster-Randomized Controlled Trial, Naida Silverthorn, Kendra M. Lewis, Niloofar Bavarian, David L. Dubois, Alan C. Acock, Samuel Vuchinich
Effects Of A School-Based Social-Emotional And Character Development Program On Peer, Family, School, And Neighborhood Contexts: A Cluster-Randomized Controlled Trial, Naida Silverthorn, Kendra M. Lewis, Niloofar Bavarian, David L. Dubois, Alan C. Acock, Samuel Vuchinich
Faculty Research and Creative Activities Symposium
Aims: To evaluate the impact of a school-based social-emotional and character development program on the various socializing contexts of youth. Methods: A matched-pair, cluster-randomized controlled trial included 1,170 students from 14, low-income, urban, Chicago Public Schools. Outcomes were assessed longitudinally for a cohort of youth followed from grades 3 to 8. Multilevel growth-curve modeling and endpoint analyses were conducted on indicators of peer, family, school, and neighborhood contexts. Results: Students in PA schools had slower rates of decline and higher end-point scores than students in non-PA schools across all of the contexts examined. For example, impacts were observed for positive …
Finding Your Way Through: Vicarious Trauma And The Qualitative Researcher, Laura Tejada, Michele Kane
Finding Your Way Through: Vicarious Trauma And The Qualitative Researcher, Laura Tejada, Michele Kane
Faculty Research and Creative Activities Symposium
Vicarious trauma, also known as compassion fatigue or secondary trauma, is more than a topic of study for qualitative researchers. It is a risk we run because we connect deeply with our participants and their stories while conducting qualitative research. The qualitative researchers’ connection to participant stories doesn’t end when the interview is over. We must remain intimately engaged with these stories throughout the data preparation and analysis phases of research, often over a number of years. As we are exposed again and again to the narratives of our participants, even when data is de-identified and aggregated into different themes, …
Evidentiality In The Colombian “Diálogos De Paz”: An Analysis Of Quotations And Presuppositions In Colombia’S Peace Talks, Maria Alejandra Prieto Mendoza
Evidentiality In The Colombian “Diálogos De Paz”: An Analysis Of Quotations And Presuppositions In Colombia’S Peace Talks, Maria Alejandra Prieto Mendoza
Faculty Research and Creative Activities Symposium
Buscar la paz con justicia social por medio del diálogo” (‘to find peace with social justice through dialogue’): was the goal that Colombia purported to achieve during its peace talks 1 . Nevertheless, this type of political discourses usually carries within it more information than the main goal their words suggest, as they can transmit a particular ideology and a hidden agenda that wants to be accepted by the audience. The problem is that, in moments of conflict, a peace dialogue can be the beacon of hope, and as a consequence, every speech that came from the “mesa de diálogo” …
