Creating An Outreach Story: Assessment Results, Strategic Planning, And Reflection, Amy Wainwright, Rosan Mitola

2019 Faculty Bibliography

Academic library outreach and student engagement initiatives often strive to connect students to learning spaces, resources, and experts. Librarians do this work to raise awareness of services and to remove barriers so students feel more comfortable seeking help. Additionally, these activities promote the academic library as a hub of engagement, innovation, and continual learning to various user groups. Unfortunately, because these learning experiences can often be unique or serendipitous, measuring how these efforts are contributing to the library’s teaching, learning, and research missions can be difficult. This paper focuses on how academic librarians can align their outreach to strategic goals …

Communication Behaviors Between Close Friends And Romantic Partners In The U.S. And Russia, Deborrah Uecker, Jacqueline Schmidt

2019 Faculty Bibliography

This study examined U.S. and Russian willingness to engage in communication behaviors for close friends and romantic partners. Students completed surveys and interviews on communication behaviors in the areas of disclosure, companionship, emotional support, conflict, and instrumental support. Interviews supported survey results for important qualities/behaviors for friends and romantic partners. U.S. and Russians students had more similarities than differences in communication behaviors for close friends and romantic partners. U.S. students perceived smaller differences between friends and romantic partners, but U.S. and Russians were more willing to engage in communication behaviors for romantic partners than close friends.

Creating Interdisciplinary Faculty Connections Through Community As A Precursor To Enhancing Innovation, Creativity And Entrepreneurship On University Campuses, Kimble Byrd, Jacqueline Schmidt

2019 Faculty Bibliography

The growth of cross-disciplinary diffusion of innovation, creativity and the entrepreneurial mindset has been significant. While many institutions have focused on curriculum and courses, this study examines the use of faculty communities through communities of practice and faculty learning communities to build a campus culture independent of size of the institution, or stage of program development. The analysis examines two distinctly dissimilar academic settings. One Rowan University, a large (16,000 student) public university with a developed program and a second, John Carroll University, a smaller (3,100) private religiously affiliated university with a newly developing program. Authors share suggestions for implementation.

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles Do Not Affect Tree Swallow Stress Levels, Bradley D. Scholten, Abigail R. Olen, Margaret E. Caulfield, Darren S. Proppe

Summer Research

• Movement and anthropogenic noise can cause physiologic stress in animals. Unmanned aerial vehicles, such as drones, are becoming widespread in society, and in biological field research. As drones become more commonplace, they are invading the same airspace as birds.
• There is little information on how drones affect wildlife, specifically birds, and if they cause any physiological response or stress. This study sought to answer these questions by flying a drone over the nest boxes of tree swallows (TRES; Tachycineta bicolor). Stress levels will be measured by comparing corticosterone (CORT) levels and telomere lengths from before and after birds received either …

Re-Centering Teaching And Learning: Toward Communities Of Practice At The University Of Nebraska-Lincoln Libraries, Erica Defrain, Leslie Delserone, Elizabeth Lorang, Catherine F. Riehle, Toni Anaya

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Libraries: Faculty Publications

The scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL) presents important opportunities that can transform learning, but many academic librarians at the University of Nebraska- Lincoln (UNL) struggle to find a scholarly center when their teaching roles are frequently that of external collaborator. Challenges such as access to student data, meaningful evaluations of instruction, limited opportunities for funding and professional development, and uncertainty over how to negotiate for these have contributed to librarians remaining on the periphery of SoTL work. Hoping to overcome some of these hurdles, UNL librarians are developing a community of practice (CoP) around teaching and learning.

Spiritual Emergence(Y), Psychosis, And Personality: Investigating The Role Of Schizotypy, Kylie P. Harris, Adam J. Rock, Gavin C. Clark

International Journal of Transpersonal Studies

Spiritual emergency (SEY) refers to a process of spiritual emergence (SE) or awakening that becomes traumatic for an individual, leading to a state of psychological crisis. There is evidence that SE(Y) is associated with both psychotic symptomatology and personality traits. This study examined the relationship between SE(Y), psychotic symptoms, and schizotypy, a construct that addresses psychotic-like personality traits in the general population. A total of 250 participants completed an anonymous online questionnaire. Results showed that SE(Y) was positively correlated with positive symptoms of psychosis and schizotypy, but demonstrated only very weak to no correlations with negative symptoms of psychosis and …

The Effect Of Implementing Symptom Feedback Into Psychiatric Care At A Non-Profit Clinic, Deirdre Rea

Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) Final Clinical Projects, 2016-2019

Background: Healthcare is moving toward a value-based system with reimbursement based on performance. Charitable organizations providing health services need to demonstrate positive outcomes for continued grant funding. Measurement-Based Care (MBC) is evidence-based, can improve patient outcomes and objectively document success. Studies show most psychiatric providers do not utilize MBC in their own practices citing lack of time, and a belief that their clinical judgment supersedes a measurement tool. The purpose of the study was to establish the use of patient-reported symptom measurement tools in a non-profit psychiatric clinic and determine if an office-based strategy to proactively and regularly report to …

Communication & Popular Culture, Marita Gronnvoll

Syllabi

This course examines popular culture and the emergence of mass culture in the United States. Itstarts from the premise that popular culture, far from being a frivolous or debased alternative to“high culture”, is in fact an important site of popular expression, social instruction, and culturalconflict, and thus deserves critical attention. We examine theoretical texts that help us to “read”popular culture, even as we study specific forms and artifacts of popular culture: from televisionshows to Hollywood movies, graphic novels to advertisements, and popular music to fiction.Throughout the course, we ground what we call “culture” in political, economic, and socialcontexts. We pay …
