The Relationship Of Education And Acculturation With Vigorous Intensity Leisure Time Physical Activity By Gender In Latinos, Erick B. Lopez, Takashi Yamashita Feb 2017

The Relationship Of Education And Acculturation With Vigorous Intensity Leisure Time Physical Activity By Gender In Latinos, Erick B. Lopez, Takashi Yamashita

Sociology Faculty Research

Objectives: Latinos have poorer health outcomes among certain conditions (e.g. diabetes, obesity, mental health) compared to non-Latino Whites in the U.S., in part due to difference in the amount of physical activity, which are heavily influenced by sociocultural factors such as educational attainment and acculturation. Vigorous-intensity leisure time physical activity (VLTPA) may provide health benefits with a shorter amount of time than moderate-to-light physical activity. However, VLTPA has been significantly understudied compared to LTPA in general. The purpose of this study is to examine the associations between educational attainment, acculturation, and VLTPA by gender among Latino adults in the U.S. …

The Color Ceiling: African Americans Still Fighting For Equity And Equality, Osaro Airen Ph.D, Lpc, Ncc Feb 2017

The Color Ceiling: African Americans Still Fighting For Equity And Equality, Osaro Airen Ph.D, Lpc, Ncc

Journal of Human Services: Training, Research, and Practice

There currently exists a unique ceiling-effect that has plagued the African American community for a number of years but due to the group being placed under the Glass Ceiling umbrella, the true nature of their issues have been vastly overlooked. To bring to light the true nature of these issues, the author created the term, Color Ceiling. The Color Ceiling refers to the invisible barriers that impede financial equity, employment equity, and promotional advancement for African Americans in the workplace specifically higher education.

Journal of Human Services: Training, Research, and Practice

To assist educators in developing transformative learning environments, and effectively engaging in difficult dialogues regarding multicultural counseling topics, we conducted a qualitative study to systemically examine the perceptions and reactions of twenty graduate counselor education students enrolled in a multicultural counseling course. In this particular course, students experienced various learning environments all designed to enhance the topic of the day. Students were instructed to journal their thoughts, which became the raw data that was later, analyzed for themes. Students reported a need to be in an environment where there was trust, an ongoing need to reflect on the content, and …

Taking Time To Pause: Engaging With A Gift Of Reflective Practice, Patricia Ganly Feb 2017

Taking Time To Pause: Engaging With A Gift Of Reflective Practice, Patricia Ganly

Journal Articles

This paper is a call to action to engage readers in cultivating reflective practice. The demands of a rapidly changing global society, the influences on emerging learning and teaching landscapes, and the ubiquity of information in twenty-first century society are catalysts for this focus on reflection. The author conducted a literature review, integrated with personal experience, resulting in a proposed PARA model (pausing, attending, revising, adopting, adapting) as an extension to existing reflective practice models. In the context of this paper, reflective practice is addressed in terms of professional development within higher education (HE) and the personal experience of its …

Evaluation Of Scents Attractants For Baiting Wild Pigs, Shannon M. Lambert, Mark D. Smith, Bryan K. Williams, Dana K. Johnson Feb 2017

Evaluation Of Scents Attractants For Baiting Wild Pigs, Shannon M. Lambert, Mark D. Smith, Bryan K. Williams, Dana K. Johnson

Wildlife Damage Management Conference

Lethal removal by trapping is one of the most cost- and time-effective means for managing wild pigs (Sus scrofa). Scent attractants are frequently used to lure wild pigs to camera stations for scouting or monitoring wild pig populations or at trap sites to reduce the amount of time for pigs to locate the trap. However, the effectiveness of scents to attract and increase wild pig visitation to camera stations or traps is debatable. Therefore, our objective was to determine if wild pigs visited camera stations sooner and more frequently when scents were used in addition to whole kernel corn. We …

Phase 2 Wildlife Management - Addressing Invasive And Overabundant Wildlife: The White-Tailed Deer Continuum And Invasive Wild Pig Example, Kurt Vercauteren, Amy Davis, Kim Pepin Feb 2017

Phase 2 Wildlife Management - Addressing Invasive And Overabundant Wildlife: The White-Tailed Deer Continuum And Invasive Wild Pig Example, Kurt Vercauteren, Amy Davis, Kim Pepin

Wildlife Damage Management Conference

Wildlife managers in many countries around the world are facing similar challenges, which include: a lack of means to address invasive species and locally overabundant native species issues particularly in the face of declining fiscal resources, reduced capacity to achieve management goals, and a need to garner public support in the wake of changing societal values and increasing human populations. Meeting these challenges requires building off the profession’s successes and developing new paradigms and strategies to curtail the negative impacts invasive and overabundant species are having on our natural resources. Like our predecessors in conservation succeeded in developing our profession …

Examination Of The Spatial Distribution Of Trapping Success On A Wild Pig Removal Cooperative In Alabama, Mark D. Smith, Dana K. Johnson, Kenneth S. Gruver, Frank Boyd Feb 2017

Examination Of The Spatial Distribution Of Trapping Success On A Wild Pig Removal Cooperative In Alabama, Mark D. Smith, Dana K. Johnson, Kenneth S. Gruver, Frank Boyd

Wildlife Damage Management Conference

As wild pig removal programs continue throughout the United States, few programs have provided detailed information regarding landscape features, property ownership, and management activities that may impact trapping success. Whereas a greater amount of research is being conducted to understand the spatial ecology of wild pigs, there still exists a paucity of information with regards to wild pig movements which likely hampers removal efforts. Likewise, no studies have examined landscape characteristics that may impact local trapping success. Therefore, we examined the spatial distribution of trapping success of wild pigs on a 1,821 ha removal cooperative of three private landowners in …

Great Lakes Restoration Initiative Activities In Illinois To Reduce Canada Goose Impacts On Lake Michigan, Hannah E. O'Malley, Michelle L. Bloomquist, Craig K. Pullins, Scott F. Beckerman, Richard M. Engeman Feb 2017

Great Lakes Restoration Initiative Activities In Illinois To Reduce Canada Goose Impacts On Lake Michigan, Hannah E. O'Malley, Michelle L. Bloomquist, Craig K. Pullins, Scott F. Beckerman, Richard M. Engeman

Wildlife Damage Management Conference

The Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI), led by the Environmental Protection Agency, was created in 2010 to address threats to the Great Lakes region. A convenient year-round water source and abundant food source of managed turf grass has resulted in an overabundance of Canada Geese (Branta canadensis) in Chicago City Parks within the watershed of Lake Michigan. The anthropogenic mediated benefit to goose populations and their associated damages qualifies Canada geese in Chicago as native invaders-where a native species is human induced to behave similar to invasive species. The objective of this project is to provide a long-term strategy to …

Is Razor-Wire An Effective Deterrent For Birds Perching On Security Fences At Airports?, David L. Bergman, Brian E. Washburn Feb 2017

Is Razor-Wire An Effective Deterrent For Birds Perching On Security Fences At Airports?, David L. Bergman, Brian E. Washburn

Wildlife Damage Management Conference

Wildlife-aircraft collisions (wildlife strikes) pose a serious risk to aircraft and cost civil aviation in the United States an estimated $957 million annually. Blackbirds and doves in particular have caused some of the most devastating aircraft accidents related to wildlife strikes in the United States and Europe. Birds perching on security fences and other structures are a problem at airports and other locations where birds are not desired. Reduction of available perching sites should make airports less attractive to these species and thus reduce the risk of damaging wildlife strikes. We conducted a series of experiments to determine if 3 …

Pseudorabies Virus Shedding And Antibody Production In Invasive Wild Pigs In California, Samantha M. Wisely, Katherine A. Sayler, Brandon Parker, Rebecca Mihalco, Eric Covington Feb 2017

Pseudorabies Virus Shedding And Antibody Production In Invasive Wild Pigs In California, Samantha M. Wisely, Katherine A. Sayler, Brandon Parker, Rebecca Mihalco, Eric Covington

Wildlife Damage Management Conference

Pseudorabies virus (PrV) is a herpesvirus endemic in invasive wild pigs in the United States. The virus has the potential to spill over into domestic herds and wildlife causing extensive morbidity and mortality. We surveyed 35 wild pigs from Kern County, California for evidence of exposure to PrV using serological analysis and for viral shedding using quantitative PCR. All 29 individuals that had sufficient sera to screen for antibody production via serological assay were positive. Two of 35 individuals were found to be shedding virus via genital mucosa. An additional 5 individuals were suspected to be shedding virus either in …

Busy Being Born : Embracing Change In Wildlife Damage Management, Janet L. Bucknall Feb 2017

Busy Being Born : Embracing Change In Wildlife Damage Management, Janet L. Bucknall

Wildlife Damage Management Conference

In 1965, Bob Dylan released a song called “It’s Alright, Ma (I’m Only Bleeding)”, and it contained one of the decade’s most memorable lyrics – “He not busy being born is busy dying” (Dylan 1965). At the same time sobering and hopeful, the lyrics present purposeful rebirth as the salve for what otherwise would do us in. Wildlife damage management as a profession has been busy being born for decades. The work is bound to human values and communities, social and political priorities, scientific advancements, and landscape and wildlife population changes. Our profession cannot help but evolve.

Challenges And Opportunities For The Wildlife Damage Management Profession In The Face Of Expanding Wildlife Populations : An Extension Perspective, Roger A. Baldwin Feb 2017

Challenges And Opportunities For The Wildlife Damage Management Profession In The Face Of Expanding Wildlife Populations : An Extension Perspective, Roger A. Baldwin

Wildlife Damage Management Conference

Many wildlife populations are expanding both their range and population densities given effective management practices. This wildlife expansion, combined with concomitant human expansion, has led to increased human-wildlife conflict in many parts of North America. Managing these conflicts has become more difficult given increased regulation on many management tools, leading to a need for new, effective strategies for mitigating these conflict situations, as well as a clearer understanding of how current management practices influence both target and non-target wildlife. A greater and more focused effort on education and outreach is needed to clearly inform all parties about true versus perceived …

Pathways To Self-Injury: A Qualitative Exploration Of Social Psychological Processes, Thomas W. Wojciechowski Feb 2017

Pathways To Self-Injury: A Qualitative Exploration Of Social Psychological Processes, Thomas W. Wojciechowski

The Qualitative Report

Self-injury is a deviant behavior often understood as the intentional infliction of harm onto one’s own body that exists absent of suicidal. This study uses a qualitative methodology to examine the etiology and perpetuation of self-injury using the terminology of relevant social-psychological theories to determine which processes best describe a causal pathway leading to self-injury and its perpetuation after the onset of the behavior. Data obtained from 16 semi-structured interviews with former and current self-injurers indicate that the processes described in general strain theory, social learning theory, and social control theory are all important for understanding the etiology and perpetuation …

Opening Up About Birth: An Autoethnographic Account Of Prolonged Labour, Petra B. Elias Feb 2017

Opening Up About Birth: An Autoethnographic Account Of Prolonged Labour, Petra B. Elias

The Qualitative Report

A woman’s first pregnancy can be both emotionally exciting and daunting. There are many changes to make, but there is little emotional support to adjust to the role, the focus being on the physical process which is most often managed medically (Spear, 2008; Zasloff, Schytt, & Waldenström, 2007) though warnings about what could occur are not routinely told (Kaitz, 2007, pp. 720-721). This paper presents an autoethnographic story of first time pregnancy and the unfolding labour. The methodology of autoethnography is a useful tool for conveying stories of lived experience at a level of detail often previously unrecorded, evoking for …
