Research On The Construction Of Multi-Layer Vocation-Skill Network For Industrial Talent Demand Identification, Zhanlei Yao, Jinxuan Li, Xin Xu

Journal of Scientific Information Research

[Purpose/ signficance]As an important tool for labor market observation，the relative robustness and other characteristics inherent in the traditional occupational classification system make it difficult to reflect changes in industrial talent demand in a timely manner. To solve this problem，this paper focuses on how to use digital means to map the relationship between occupations and skill requirements，and how to construct a multi-layer vocation-skill network and how to realize it. [Method/process]Firstly，design a set of cross-job descriptors，a common language for describing different jobs in Chinese context，in order to establish a vocation description framework for recruitment data development and utilization. Secondly，the Key technology of …

How Did The Deer Cross The Road? Reducing Habitat Fragmentation And Wildlife-Vehicle Collision Deaths Through Connective Conservation In The South Mountain Region, Pennsylvania, Jack B. Joiner, Emily R. Kreider, Thomas H. Manning, Madison E. Rowell

Student Publications

While some deleterious effects of road networks and the vehicles that travel them– such as pollution, fossil fuel extraction, and carbon emissions– are widely recognized, their significant role in causing an estimated one million wildlife deaths per day (Shilling et al., 2021) and contributing to habitat loss and degradation, the leading causes of global biodiversity decline (Pinto et al., 2023), has garnered less attention. Connective conservation policies, such as designating wildlife corridors and constructing wildlife crossings on roadways, have been proposed as a means of mitigating these repercussions. This study proposes a connective conservation plan addressing the logistics of a …

Enhancing Self-Compassion: An Empirical Comparison Of Expressive Writing And Meditation, Samantha De Souza

Research Honors

Self-compassion interventions show promise in reducing stress and enhancing self-compassion among college students, a population uniquely vulnerable to high stress. Two studies were conducted to explore the impact of self-compassion practices (i.e., expressive writing and meditations). Using a within group study design, Study 1 investigated whether a prewriting task designed to induce a self-compassionate mindset could enhance the effects of a self-compassion meditation. Results showed that when participants (n = 35) completed the prewriting task before the meditation, they reported significantly higher levels of state self-compassion compared to when they were in the meditation-only group, as predicted (p = .03, …

Exploring Unit 34 Melchor Romero: State Power In Support Programs For Those Who Have Been Deprived Of Their Liberty., Alexandra Fitzgerald

Argentina: Public Health in Urban Environments

Resumen

Tomé como caso de estudio el programa gubernamental Instituto Penal Federal de Campo de Mayo, Unidad N° 34 de la Subsecretaría de Salud Mental de la Provincia de Buenos Aires, un centro penitenciario neuropsiquiátrico de la provincia de Buenos Aires. Analicé este organismo gubernamental que incorpora en su diseño una estrategia comunitaria de reinserción de personas que han estado encarceladas. Identifiqué algunas contradicciones en los propios mecanismos de control del Estado, a partir de conceptos de la gestión de los cuerpos humanos delineados por Michel Foucault y Achille Mbembe. Para responder a la pregunta central de investigación, se adoptó …

Dismantling Feminism: The Milei Administration And The Setback Of Gender Rights In Argentina, Kyra Jade Khlat

Argentina: Social Movements and Human Rights

Este trabajo analiza el impacto de las políticas de género implementadas por el gobierno de Javier Milei en Argentina, caracterizadas por el desmantelamiento acelerado de logros feministas en áreas como derechos reproductivos, lucha contra la violencia de género y promoción de la igualdad. A través de un enfoque interdisciplinario que combina teoría feminista interseccional y análisis de gobernanza neoliberal, el estudio examina cómo estas políticas exacerban las desigualdades estructurales y afectan desproporcionadamente a mujeres jóvenes y comunidades vulnerables. El texto explora cómo estas políticas, sustentadas en una narrativa anti-feminista y una agenda económica neoliberal, han socavado las estructuras institucionales y …

Raising The Bar: Improving How To Assess Evidence Quality In Evaluating Systems-Change Efforts, Marina Apgar, Thomas Aston, Mieke Snijder, Tom Zwollo

The Foundation Review

Facing the great scale of societal challenges, philanthropic organizations are increasingly calling for systems change. Evaluating systems change requires innovative approaches that respond to the complexities of such change in ways that support equity and multiracial democracy rather than undermining them.

A key concern in evaluating systems change is how to do so rigorously. Rigor has traditionally been equated with evaluative criteria such as independence and objectivity, and experimental methods and evidence hierarchies which sit uncomfortably with both complexity and equity. Yet when taking an alternative approach, many philanthropic organizations fear that without these standards, there are no standards at …

The Commodification Of Local Food Systems In Bali: Social Media, Processed Foods, And Government Policies., Paisleigh Atwood

Indonesia: Arts, Religion, and Social Change

This study examines the differences in food availability between tourist and rural markets in Bali, focusing on the factors contributing to a diet shift in Bali. Using a mixed-methods approach—including interviews with local residents, observational surveys, and a literature review—this research highlights the influence of tourism, social media, and government policies on food choices and accessibility. Findings reveal a noticeable increase in processed foods in tourist areas, driven by demand for convenience and "Instagrammable" options, while rural markets maintain a higher prevalence of whole foods despite the creeping presence of packaged products. Interviews with participants of different generations further underscore …

Masih Takut: The Psychology Of Fear In The Development Of Indonesian Social Movements, Loren Andrea Lacruz

Indonesia: Arts, Religion, and Social Change

This thesis offers a contemporary investigation of the extent to which historical contexts contribute to Indonesian people’s reservations towards political conversations and social movements, such as protests and demonstrations. The historical contexts in question are focused on the Soeharto dictatorship from 1966-1999 and its long reign of censorship, citizen violence, and general human rights violations. The research employs a mixed-methods approach focused on cultural and participant observation, social media analysis, and interviews. Social media analyses offer insights into activism, particularly that of students and the youth, that are not generally available in scholarly sources. Interviews with Indonesian citizens and local …

Spatiotemporal Climatology Of Georgia Tropical Cyclones And Associated Rainfall, Reilly Corkran, Jill Trepanier, Vincent Brown

Faculty Publications

Tropical cyclones (TCs), often characterized by high wind speeds and heavy rainfall, cause widespread devastation, affecting millions of people and leading to economic losses worldwide. TC-specific research in Georgia is scarce, likely due to the minimal geographical extent of its coast and the infrequency of direct landfalls. Research on Georgia TCs does not account for storms that make landfall in other southeastern states (e.g., Florida) and continue north, northeast, or northwest into Georgia. This study used the North Atlantic Basin hurricane database (HURDAT2) to quantify the spatiotemporal patterns of direct and indirect landfalling of Georgia tropical cyclones (>16 ms−1) …

Scene Classification Of Remote Sensing Image Based On Multi-Path Reconfigurable Neural Network, Wenyi Hu, Chunjie Lan, Tian Chen, Shan Liu, Lirong Yin, Lei Wang

Faculty Publications

Land image recognition and classification and land environment detection are important research fields in remote sensing applications. Because of the diversity and complexity of different tasks of land environment recognition and classification, it is difficult for researchers to use a single model to achieve the best performance in scene classification of multiple remote sensing land images. Therefore, to determine which model is the best for the current recognition classification tasks, it is often necessary to select and experiment with many different models. However, finding the optimal model is accompanied by an increase in trial-and-error costs and is a waste of …

Non-Partner Sexual Violence Among International College Students In The United States, Kruti S. Chaliawala, Rebecca A. Vidourek, Keith A. King

Dignity: A Journal of Analysis of Exploitation and Violence

The prevalence of non-partner sexual violence among college students is a pressing concern that demands urgent attention. Although an integral part of the education system, international college students are often underrepresented in various studies. This calls attention to understanding the cultural nuances and multiple factors affecting this population. The current research delves into the experiences of sexual abuse among international students within the last 12 months, focusing specifically on incidents where sexual penetration or unwanted sexual touching occurred without consent. The study sheds light on the frequency and demographics associated with these distressing incidents using data from a large-scale survey …

Rules, Privacy, And Ethics: Challenges In Creating Author Name Change Guidelines, Angela Yon, Emily Baldoni, Eric Willey

Faculty and Staff Publications – Milner Library

People change their names for a variety of reasons, including, but not limited to, gender transition, change in marital status, and religious conversion. Guidance on the metadata management of author name changes for the myriad resources in a library’s discovery system is elusive and absent. Executing metadata for name changes creates many challenges in a rapidly advancing infrastructure of emerging discovery technologies, aggregators with shared metadata in multiple schemas, and numerous formats in varied platforms. Moreover, it is difficult to find a balanced approach to ethically apply evolving cataloging and name authority control rules to suit the linked data environment. …

A Simple Higher-Order Rational Email-Game Bubble Model And Some Implications For Momentum, Feng Liu

Hunt Institute Working Paper Series

We propose a simple higher-order rational greater-fool bubble model, where the period-1 information structure is motivated by an “information leakage” story, reminiscent of Rubinstein’s (1989) email game. Our nth-order bubble model requires only n + 2 states, and is thus simpler than that in Conlon (2004), which required n^2 + 5n + 5 states. Our model is also related to the two-agent-type case of the Araujo and Doblas-Madrid’s (2022) model, and we argue that our model might therefore not capture “momentum,” though simple extensions of it may be able to.

Cartel Breakdown: The Impact Of Demonopsonization On Market Concentration, Nathan Ashby, Miguel A. Ramos-Gonzalez

Hunt Institute Working Paper Series

The exogenous removal of labor restrictions mandated by Alston vs. NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) has provided a unique natural experiment for analyzing the impact of demonopsonization on market concentration. Using basketball tournament data between 2003 and 2024 we find evidence of increased concentration in performance among higher-tiered programs. The larger magnitude of estimates for women’s programs likely results from wider dispersion in market demand for participating programs predating the reforms. We also analyze parity in regular-season conference play and fail to detect a relationship between the changes and dispersion for higher-tiered conferences, but we do find a relationship for …

The Institutional Impact Of Left-Leaning Populism In Latin America, Nicolas Cachanosky, Joao Pedro Bastos, Alexandre Padilla, Karla C. Hernandez

Hunt Institute Working Paper Series

We study the institutional impact of 21st-century left-leaning populist regimes in Latin America. Looking at the representative left-leaning populist regimes in Argentina, Bo-livia, Ecuador, Nicaragua, and Venezuela, we find that these types of populist regimes impose a significant undermining on the liberal-democracy institutional quality of their countries. The institutional cost is both significant and long-lasting, and our synthetic counterfactual suggests that liberal democratic institutions would have im-proved if not for these populist regimes.

Migration Shocks And Economic Redistribution: The Case Of Return Migration To Mexico, Daniel E. Clayton, Jose R. Bucheli, Matias Fontenla

Hunt Institute Working Paper Series

This paper examines the effects of return migration on inequality, poverty, and income in Mexico, using a reversal in the migration flow in the late 2000s. For the first time since the Great Depression, more migrants returned to Mexico than those who migrated to the United States. We use this return migration shock to construct a two-period panel for municipalities in Mexico and employ an instrumental variable approach using the exogenous variation of U.S. immigration enforcement policies. Our results show that return migration significantly reduced inequality and poverty while boosting income per capita. These effects appear most pronounced municipalities with …
