Using Industry-Level Characteristics To Assess The Degree To Which Interventions Engage An Employee Population, Haley C. Trust, Brett Amazon, Anthony Puline, Evan Sassenberger, Kristin Horan Jun 2025

Using Industry-Level Characteristics To Assess The Degree To Which Interventions Engage An Employee Population, Haley C. Trust, Brett Amazon, Anthony Puline, Evan Sassenberger, Kristin Horan

The Kennesaw Journal of Undergraduate Research

Participation is an essential component in workplace health and safety programs or interventions. While those who conduct interventions often report participation rates among the overall organization, it could be useful to compare participants to industry statistics, given that health and safety risks can diverge widely among industries. Research students from Kennesaw State University analyzed a sample of published papers that focus on occupational health psychology interventions. This narrative review analyzed existing studies to look for similarities or dissimilarities between a sample of intervention participants and employees of their industry as a whole. The students considered demographic, socioeconomic, job-related, and health-related …


The Seduction Of Journalism In Atlanta: William Randolph Hearst And The Atlanta Georgian, Andrew J. Bramlett Jun 2025

The Seduction Of Journalism In Atlanta: William Randolph Hearst And The Atlanta Georgian, Andrew J. Bramlett

The Kennesaw Journal of Undergraduate Research

The Atlanta Georgian was founded in 1906, quickly becoming a rival of the already established Atlanta Constitution and Atlanta Journal. Its founding editor, John Temple Graves, was a devoted believer of the New South Movement and a prominent ally of newspaper mogul William Randolph Hearst. In 1912, Hearst purchased the Georgian, expanding his influence into the South. The Georgian was a small piece of his grander plan to become President of the United States, and he quickly turned it into Atlanta’s most discussed newspaper. However, since the first edition of the Georgian was published in 1906, Hearst’s presence …


Do People Judge Sexual Harassment Differently Based On The Type Of Job A Victim Has?, Carolyne Georgiana Halfon, Destiny Mccray, Danica Kulibert Jun 2025

Do People Judge Sexual Harassment Differently Based On The Type Of Job A Victim Has?, Carolyne Georgiana Halfon, Destiny Mccray, Danica Kulibert

Faculty Articles

Victims of sexual harassment report facing barriers and retaliation for reporting their sexual harassment. The current study assessed one potential reason for these issues: perceptions of sexual harassment events. Participants (N = 427) read about different sexual harassment events and were told that the woman in the event worked with a masculine (e.g., EMT, school police officer, plumber) or feminine job (e.g., nurse, teacher, cleaning staff). Across three different sexual harassment claims (e.g., unwanted romantic attention, physical groping, being shown sexually explicit images), participants reported that women in masculine jobs were less prototypical women than women in feminine jobs. Furthermore, …

Geography In Service To The Community, Albert Redsun May 2025

Geography In Service To The Community, Albert Redsun

The Geographical Bulletin

For many years geographers spent much of their professional efforts describing the landscape and man's activities. These were noteworthy, necessary, and valuable contributions. As we grew (just as all disciplines do) we searched for those meaningful relationships of man and land. We still search. Many relationships are obvious. Many that will be discovered in the future will someday be obvious. It is clear that we will need the continuing quest by researchers in our field. Researchers now seek to predict. The introduction of quantification techniques has allowed for more refined analysis and prediction. As researchers open more and more doors …

Hops In The United States, Edgar M. Hadley May 2025

Hops In The United States, Edgar M. Hadley

The Geographical Bulletin

For more than a thousand years the virtue of the hop has been recorded, and it is possible that hops have been cultivated since prehistoric times. More than five hundred years have passed since the domesticated hops were brewed in middle Europe, but wild hops were used much earlier, and are brewed in Syria even today. Hops were introduced to England in the wild, but much later came into prominence after being introduced into Kent by Flemish immigrants about 15241.


Reminiscences, Winston Burton Jr May 2025

Reminiscences, Winston Burton Jr

The Geographical Bulletin

Perhaps no other job affords the opportunity to influence the lives and minds of the younger generation than does teaching. As students reminisce, nearly everyone will recall a favorite professor and cite examples or instances in which his life was in some way influenced by his teachings or advice. In student circles at North Carolina Central University, the name of Dr. Theodore H. Speigner has often been brought up in this regard. Dr. Speigner has earned the distinction of being a great educator throughout the entire state of North Carolina as well as on the North Carolina Central University Campus. …

Land Use Bordering The Calumet River And Lake Calumet In Chicago, Illinois, William D. Curran May 2025

Land Use Bordering The Calumet River And Lake Calumet In Chicago, Illinois, William D. Curran

The Geographical Bulletin

The Calumet River-Lake Calumet area within the City of Chicago, Illinois comprises a complexity of manufacturing, transportation, service, and storage facilities at a magnitude rarely found other than in coastal port locations. The area contains a major portion of the Calumet district's heavy basic industries and constitutes the principal port area of metropolitan Chicago. The historical developments of the industrial and port activities in the area have been ably chronicled by Mayer' and Appleton' and do not bear repeating here. The objectives of this paper are to provide a detailed description and evaluation of the forty-nine sites bordering on the …


On The Perils Of Perceiving Perception, James E. Landing May 2025

On The Perils Of Perceiving Perception, James E. Landing

The Geographical Bulletin

The emergence of man's perception of his environment within the discipline of geography as a suitable topic of pursuit is a most wholesome development. The recently articulated views of Saarinen through the publications of the Commission on College Geography provide an admirable springboard for those interested in pursuing the topic and obtaining an overview of what has already been pursued.' But geography teachers have, for years, been intuitively doing the same thing by discovering through their classroom contacts the correct and incorrect perceptions of students and teaching concepts based upon this knowledge. Although few of these have been conducted as …


Australia An Dits Outback, Lewis Deitch May 2025

Australia An Dits Outback, Lewis Deitch

The Geographical Bulletin

So states Australian poet A. D. Hope as he vividly describes the land "Down Under.'" It is a continent of widespread aridity whose burnt red and brown colors predominate over much of the landscape. The Continent contains 2,941,526 square miles (with Tasmania, the island state, the Commonwealth comprises an area of 2,967,909 square miles): By comparison, Australia is slightly smaller than the 48 contiguous United States, and roughly the same latitudinal and longitudinal dimensions. In contrast however, the Australian continent is largely uninhabited or at best sparsely settled. The population (at the 1966 Census) of 11,550,4623 is primarily centered in …

Reminiscences, James W. Gallagher

The Geographical Bulletin

Most of my professional geographer acquaintances have expressed to me at one time or another that they feel they were brought into the field of geography largely as a result of one man's influence. It is presumed that most of us came into the field that way and my experience is no exception. After stumbling through a freshman year in college in 1947, with no particular professional goal in mind and sti ll looking for that one thing which would show me the direction I wanted to go for my life, I enrolled in a geography class which was being …


Water Sourcesst. Thomas And St. John,American Virgin Islands, Ann Lundelius May 2025

Water Sourcesst. Thomas And St. John,American Virgin Islands, Ann Lundelius

The Geographical Bulletin

The vital word in Saint Thomas and Saint John is water. Because of the lack of it in the past, the population remained low. With new desa linization techniques, the islands can support both a greater local as well as tourist population. The basic problem stems from the fact that the islands are volcanic in structure (Figure one) without water storage pockets. Also, there are no fresh water rivers. The populace has had to depend on a cistern method of gathering rainwater, but this method was only fairly dependable as sometimes it rains for days straight, and other times it …


Forest Distribution And Soil Texture Along The Valparaiso Moraine In Northwestern Indiana, Wallace Elton May 2025

Forest Distribution And Soil Texture Along The Valparaiso Moraine In Northwestern Indiana, Wallace Elton

The Geographical Bulletin

An anomalous pattern of high warm-season precipitation centered on the city of La Porte, Indiana, has recently been described in the literature.' The presence of this pattern was attributed to rainfall augmentation as a result of atmospheric pollution by the heavy industrial complex in the vicinity of Gary, Indiana (Figure one). Other natural gradients in addition to that of rainfall exist in the La Porte area, however, and possibly suggest that the former pattern has had a longer-term existence. The present study was part of a broader investigation designed to examine biogeographical patterns which might reflect on the degree of …


Changing Orientations:Elements Of New Zealand'spolitical Geography, David B. Knight May 2025

Changing Orientations:Elements Of New Zealand'spolitical Geography, David B. Knight

The Geographical Bulletin

New Zealand's economic, political, cultural, ties and orientations have changed through time. This paper briefly examines the historical development of these orientations as influenced by Briti sh and Pacific-rimland considerations and notes some of the problems now faced by New Zealand as it readjusts to its new and conflicting orientations.' Three factors have historically dominated new Zealand's external orientations-geographical setting in the Southwest Pacific, membership in the Briti sh Empire and subsequently the Commonwealth of Nations, and the country' s commercial ized pastoral economy. Without doubt, all of these factors are interwoven and are each in themselves complex with far …


Guatemala And Thehomogenizing Globe:A Vignette Ontechnological Progress, Bruce E. Bechto May 2025

Guatemala And Thehomogenizing Globe:A Vignette Ontechnological Progress, Bruce E. Bechto

The Geographical Bulletin

Today revolutionary deeds and ideas are affecting much of the world. Hence changes come to existing cultures and ways of li fe, transformations of special consequence because they also bring fundamental modifications in man's relationship to his environment. Assuming these trends are inevitable, current mosaics of land and life are destined to yield to new forces. And, just possibly, the most dramatic chapters of man ' s d evelopment are presently being recorded with the revolutionary modification of more traditional societies. What man does with the land he occupies largely depends on his cultural view of its use. l Human …

My Reminiscencesconcerned Withamerican Geography(, Eugene Van Cleef

The Geographical Bulletin

When it was suggested I reminisce about American geography I was delighted to grasp the opportunity, for nothing pleases the ego more of one who has lived a long time than to discourse upon the events of his youth. The situation is especially gratifying when one ca n cast his words of wisdom upon a captive audience. The limitations of time made it seem advisable to record my thoughts. At best an attempt to squeeze into a 25- minute period, a story which covers several decades is not only audacious but probably doomed to failure. I trust you will forgive …

W ith this issue Gamma Theta Upsilon initiates the publication of its periodical, Th e Geographical Bulletin. It is with great anticipation that we set forth on this venture. Our aim is to supply an outlet for undergraduate and graduate students who normally do not have publication avenues easily accessible. We intend to give the highest priority to student publications for we feel they deserve space, and we further feel that they have things to offer which will be of value to the profession of geography. It is the editorial policy of The Geographical Bulletin to publish those things which …


The Relevancy Of Gamma Theta Upsilon, David W. Lantis May 2025

The Relevancy Of Gamma Theta Upsilon, David W. Lantis

The Geographical Bulletin

The typical freshman seems to understand what geography is, even though his academic exposure on the pre-college level has often been distressingly limited. It seems quite easy for a good college instructor to attract superior students into the discipline by revealing the latitude of geography and its multiple relationships to the totality of contemporary human knowledge

Resort Development In The Venezuelan Central Littoral: The Case Of Naiguata, Jesus Soto May 2025

Resort Development In The Venezuelan Central Littoral: The Case Of Naiguata, Jesus Soto

The Geographical Bulletin

Naiguata is a small coastal town in the Federal District of Venezuela some 24 miles from Caracas (Map 1). Because of this proximity to Caracas, land use patterns have been significantly affected in recent decades by resort development. Accelerated growth of the Metropolitan Area of Caracas has created a need for recreational facilities away from the congestion of the capital.' Naiguata has satisfied that need to some extent, but, for several reasons, future growth and expansion are limited. The town is located on a narrow peninsular-like site hemmed in between the steep flanks of the Coastal Range mountains and the …


Land Alienation In Houston County, Minnesota: Preferences In Land Selection, Charles E. Dingman May 2025

Land Alienation In Houston County, Minnesota: Preferences In Land Selection, Charles E. Dingman

The Geographical Bulletin

Geographers by and large have failed to make very effective or extensive use of the information available in the Tract Books of the General Land Office, which provide evidence of the selection of lands in the public land states of the United States: The Tract Books show the date of entry for each claim, the name of the transferee, and the nature of the transaction for each plot of land alienated from public domain. This case study of Houston County, Minnesota will illustrate the use of these records to investigate initial land evaluations: Dates of alienation can reveal the precise …


The Measurement Of Perception And Attitudes Toward Industry, Raymond Hubbard May 2025

The Measurement Of Perception And Attitudes Toward Industry, Raymond Hubbard

The Geographical Bulletin

A recent trend in various fields of human geography has been the advocation and incorporation of some of the psychologist's powerful behavioral postulates in order to explain human behavior and its possible spatial implications: This has arisen, in part, from the failure of normative and/or deterministic models to fully account for such patterns of behavior. At present, this behavioral approach to the study of geographical problems is still very much in its infancy and is characterized by a willingness to experiment with diverse techniques which were formerly considered to be foreign to the discipline, for example, note the approaches of …
