In today's economic environment, there are pressures to fundraise throughout all of the academic units at colleges and universities, including libraries. Unfortunately, however, there is no natural constituency for the academic library. While the library may have been instrumental in their successful academic career, alumni more often than not, feel no loyalty to it, as they might to their department, school, college, or even sports team. The school library, which may have served as the important cog in their academic success, is taken for granted in its apparent supporting role.

Until recently, solidifying a donor base was of little consequence to the academic library; college and university libraries got by with minimal fundraising, often assisted by friends groups that provide financial support via annual membership fees and occasional fundraising events. College and university libraries friends groups are frequently made up of current and retired faculty and librarians, who understand the important role of the campus library. The trick for academic libraries in the current economy is to bring in new life and new blood in support of the library.

A key to this concept is to connect the interests of potential donors with the goals and objectives of the library. Current and retired faculty and library staff understand the importance of the library and its mission; but how can the library communicate its mission in a way that attracts alumni and other community supporters?

Show moreFrom Dolly Parton to Taylor Swift, country music encompasses a wide range of artists with a variety of unique traits. Public persona plays a large role in the marketing of country music, affecting how audiences respond and relate to artists. Through the citation and analysis of recent news articles, I interpreted the media's response to current country artists relating to their public personas and social media presences. My process consisted of collecting articles from LexisNexis as well as the websites of popular online news sources. The articles, ranging from 2013 to early 2015, were centered around Dolly Parton and her over 60-year-long career, as well as newer country artists such as Taylor Swift, Blake Shelton, Kenny Chesney, and Florida-Georgia Line. The majority of articles focused on each artist's specific persona, and how these personas manifest on the internet, television, and live performance. However, each recent article in the database featuring the artists was considered, and I was able to identify a variety of contemporary music industry topics, many of which emerged throughout research process. For example, the internet's effect on the music industry was a subject that kept appearing. Not only does the internet offer streaming services that make music more accessible than ever, but it alters the entire artist-audience dynamic by making once-distant stars more relatable. The internet has also encouraged blending with other genres such as pop and hip-hop,creating new sub-genres and transforming artists into completely unique celebrity personalities.

Show moreIn today's technologically driven society, an increasing amount of everyday literature is presented in electronic formats. People at all levels of socioeconomic status are reading more from phones, tablets, and computer screens on a daily basis than they are from traditional print formats such as books and magazines. Our study sought to identify possible cognitive differences between reading text presented from either paper or electronic formats. We did this specifically by evaluating participant scores on reading comprehension tests based on passages which were edited to be at the same reading grade level. The passages were given in three formats; one paper, one PDF, and one computer software that mimics the mechanics of reading a book (page turning, highlighting text, etc.). We started off by giving each participant two standardized tests on comprehension and problem solving to control for individual differences. We then administered the three passages in a randomized order and format. Based on our preliminary literature review and the data we have collected so far, our tentative result is that reading comprehension scores will be higher for the paper format and then be followed by the flipbook software and PDF formats respectively.

The canoe was constructed using three manufacture methods: historic style tools with fire, strictly historic tools, and prehistoric style stone tools with fire. The purpose was to gain a better understanding of the past and the undertaking of building a dugout canoe in prehistoric and historic populations in Florida. The result of the project concludes that making dugout canoes in historic fashion using only metal tools would have significantly facilitated the project requiring the least time and resources.

Show moreThis project analyzes how elite actors influence democracy in contexts of high levels of public anxiety. Drawing from work on Affective Intelligence in Political Psychology, the project provides a theoretical explanation for the varying response of anxious citizens threatened by high rates of physical insecurity. Specifically, the project describes how elites affect public attitudes in the face of the extraordinary crime wave in Latin America. In so doing, it also explains previously inconsistent findings on crime's effect on democratic attitudes. Using a mixed-method strategy of elite interviews in Venezuela and Honduras as well as analysis of survey data throughout the region, the examination finds that elite opinion about crime conditions the effect of anxiety on mass democratic attitudes. When political elites emphasize anti-democratic policies, anxious citizens express more support for authoritarian principles and less support for democracy. When elites promote more democratic solutions, the effect of anxiety is null.

Show moreThe accuracy of Wikipedia is often debated, due to the fact that anyone is allowed to edit the website's articles. The purpose of this project is to analyze how various events from the Second World War, specifically those events related to and orchestrated by Nazi Germany, are explained on the English version of Wikipedia, and to see if they are similarly described on the corresponding pages of other languages' versions of the site. This allows for comparison of how certain aspects of history are perceived by different countries, and can also be used as a means to research the accuracy with which historical events are depicted. This is done by analyzing the articles on a variety of levels: information given, word count, number of references and sources, the articles' tones, the edit histories (specifically the parts of the articles which are most often revised), and how word choices and descriptions differ between articles. After examining Wikipedia, research is done wherein academic sources written in the non-English target languages are found and studied. These sources are analyzed using similar methods to the above, and are additionally used as a means to gather information on topics that Wikipedia does not thoroughly cover.

Adjective checklists allow parents to choose from an extensive inventory of adjectives that best describe their child. The Gifted Rating Scales- School Form (GRS-S) provides teachers with the opportunity to rate their students in different domains related to ability and potential for achievement. Participants for this study consisted of the parents and teachers of 152 students ranging from third through twelfth grade attending a K-12 research charter school. A total of 92 female and 60 male students, and 29 teachers participated in the study. Each teacher completed the GRS-S on students in their classroom and 152 parents completed the adjective checklist. Students were randomly selected from a stratified population that is reflective of the demographics of the state of Florida. The primary goal of this research is to shed light on differences among students that might contribute to innovation and leadership.

Show moreFor people all over the planet, sea level rise is accelerating and is impacting Floridians directly. Due to the accelerated melting of ice as well as the warming of the ocean, sea level is estimated to rise to significantly damaging levels by the year 2100. Cities such as Miami already suffer from flooding after a mere 6-inch tidal rise. Consequently, local communities must plan alternative strategies and policies to mitigate damage from sea level rise. The U.S. federal government has the financial ability to respond but not the jurisdictional ability to develop on or regulate state-owned or private land. The White House has produced documents like the Presidentâ ’s Climate Action Plan, and other agencies have produced climate change adaptation plans. These encourage local governments to carry out adaptations but do not provide specific strategies. The impacts of climate change will be felt at local levels and many adaptation strategies depend on effective land use and infrastructure management, which are activities undertaken by local governments. Local communities have responded with various climate adaptations and documents, including vulnerability assessments, comprehensive plans, and land use regulations. Through these, Dr. Butler and I are exploring how communities in Florida are responding to the effects of climate change through climate adaptation strategies.

Show moreThe Florida State University (FSU) Libraries partnered with the Honors in the Major department in 2004 to begin providing onlineaccess to FSU undergraduate honors theses (UHT) . Over the years, data management processes, platform selection, workflow improvements, andpolicy developments have changed to improve the curation lifecycle of UHT at FSU. Some of these changes included representation information normalization, format conversion, content migration, copyright management, and digital preservation. This project used The DCC CurationLifecycle Model as a conceptual framework for guiding the idea, development, curation activities, and workflow processes for the preservation of FSU UHTs from 2004-2010. The Metadata Encoding Transmission Standard (METS) was used for the development of Submission Information Packages (SIP) for preservation in the Florida Digital Archive (FDA) using Dark Archive in the Sunshine State (DAITSS) version 2 which entered production April 2011.

Resistance Training Improves Muscular Strength and Lymphedema in Breast Cancer Survivors
Title
Resistance Training Improves Muscular Strength and Lymphedema in Breast Cancer Survivors.
Creator
Coviello, Caitlin, Nutrition, Food, and Exercise Sciences
Abstract/Description
Breast cancer survivors (BCS) encounter side effects from cancer treatments that reduce muscular strength. Studies show resistance training (RT) in BCS can improve strength. One concern with RT in BCS is increasing lymphedema, which is swelling of the arms from lymph node removal and is a common side effect in BCS. Studies suggest low to moderate RT may improve or reduce the risk of developing lymphedema. PURPOSE: To evaluate the efficacy of a moderate to high intensity RT intervention to...
Show moreBreast cancer survivors (BCS) encounter side effects from cancer treatments that reduce muscular strength. Studies show resistance training (RT) in BCS can improve strength. One concern with RT in BCS is increasing lymphedema, which is swelling of the arms from lymph node removal and is a common side effect in BCS. Studies suggest low to moderate RT may improve or reduce the risk of developing lymphedema. PURPOSE: To evaluate the efficacy of a moderate to high intensity RT intervention to improve muscular strength and lymphedema in BCS over a 12-week period. METHODS: Thirty-three (age: 59±8yrs; BMI: 27.2±5.6kg/m2) BCS were measured pre and post training for muscular strength (chest press and leg extension) via one-repetition maximums (1-RM) and handgrip (HG) strength via a HG dynamometer. Lymphedema was monitored at baseline and weeks 5 and 9 by measuring the percent difference in circumference between the involved and uninvolved arm. A positive percent difference indicates the possibility of edema. RT consisted of two days/wk using ten exercises performed for three sets of 10-12 repetitions at ~65-85% of 1-RM. ANOVAs were used to analyze data. Significance was accepted at p<0.05. RESULTS: BCS significantly increased upper (86±22 to 115±29kg) and lower body (97±25 to 116±31kg) strength and HG strength (51±9 to 54±8kg). The average percent difference in upper extremity volume of BCS significantly decreased from 5.6±11.2% at baseline to 2.0±5.6% in week 9. CONCLUSIONS: Twelve weeks of RT at 65-85% of 1-RM was well tolerated and significantly improved muscular strength and decreased lymphedema in BCS.

Show moreThe Cat Project was launched by Owen Mundy in July 2014. The project served to bring awareness of computer and internet privacy by displaying the location of one million cats on a global map using geotags and metadata. The website displaying the map went viral the first day it launched and this research attempts to discover why. To do this, data from various news websites displaying articles about the Cat Project was gathered. Some examples of data collected are average reading level of the articles, word count, date written, number of shares to social media, etc. This dependent data was compared to the number of page visits and links to the I Know Where your Cat Lives Website. Data for the largest source of referrals to the website and session duration time was also collected and compared to the other variables concerning these websites. From this data, it cannot be determined whether going viral is a predicable phenomenon. With future research, more data can be collected and more in-depth analysis can be applied to determine whether it's possible to predict a topic or website's ability to go viral and if so, what variables determine viralness.

Abstract/Description
Working towards a larger-scale research venture regarding the Russian composer Alexsandr Skryabin, this project has focused on the creation and reception of theosophically influenced music and art in France. Theosophy, which directly translates to "God's wisdom" was the basis for the founding of the Theosophical Society in 1875, which widely popularized Theosophy and theosophical beliefs. Many composers and artists met and shared ideas through the Theosophical Society's salons, and they...

Theosophy, which directly translates to "God's wisdom" was the basis for the founding of the Theosophical Society in 1875, which widely popularized Theosophy and theosophical beliefs. Many composers and artists met and shared ideas through the Theosophical Society's salons, and they incorporated theosophical influences into their art and music. In addition to researching the embodiment of theosophical ideas through art and music, attention has also been devoted to the public's reception of these artistic expressions of theosophy. In preparation for further inquiry into Skryabin's music and beliefs, focus was geared towards his friends, contemporaries, and influences, including the Theosophical Society's presence in France during Skryabin's lifetime.

Show moreUnder the mentorship of Prof. Shonda Stevens, we are researching and studying the American Expatriate Literary Tradition; creating analytical lists of displaced and expatriated American novelists, artists, and poets, and the works they have accomplished and published. Major names recognizable by the general public are Ernest Hemingway, Gertrude Stein, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and the "Lost Generation", but our goal is to widen the public's view of American expatriate culture, as well as to encompass many more authors and artists who have also done incredible work, utilizing the information we find during our research. Our final goal is a university-level textbook, which will outline the American Expatriate Literary tradition, offering a definition as well as a list of authors and their literary works and travels. The text will discuss various American expatriate authors and poets, the works they have written, and what their works have said about American culture and tradition. We are currently in stage-three of our research; we are beginning to delve deeper into the literary tradition, writing up personal definitions of the movement and conducting research on specific authors and time periods. Each of us has been assigned specific authors and time periods, and we are currently gathering information on these authors—the works they have written, what they have written about, where they were stationed while writing, and other appropriate information.

Show moreThe study focuses on the race issues and increased police militarization in Ferguson, Missouri related to the recent murder of Michael Brown. This particular part of the study focuses on the popular trend of the hashtag If They Gunned Me Down. Young activists on Twitter post pictures of themselves, both positive and negative, to highlight the media's opinion of people of color in the news. The tag is meant to show the obvious bias in media portrayal of black victims of police violence through personal images. During the study we studied these images and then complied a sample of 20 images per category (categories being aspects of their personality being highlighted). The tweets show two pictures per post, one negative and one positive, which we group together to find the most common traits presented. From these qualities we are hoping to gain an idea of the way the black community views the medias opinion of their worth. In addition to this information we are also qualitatively coding tweets related to race, black culture and marketing to find celebrities involvement and influence in the issue of police brutality of the black community.
