Title: The effect of an online Self-Directed Search on the career decision state.
Creator: Dozier, V. Casey, Osborn, Debra S., Kronholz, Julia, Peterson, Gary, Reardon, Robert
Abstract/Description: An exploratory study examined the effects of a counselor-free career intervention, the online Self-Directed Search Form R Fifth Edition (SDS), with 114 undergraduate students at three levels of career decision state or readiness for career decision making. The effects of this intervention included (a) changes in the career decision state low (d = 1.14), medium, (d = .14), and high (d = .17) over a three-week time period, (b) the extent of engagement in the task of taking the SDS and reviewing...
Show moreAn exploratory study examined the effects of a counselor-free career intervention, the online Self-Directed Search Form R Fifth Edition (SDS), with 114 undergraduate students at three levels of career decision state or readiness for career decision making. The effects of this intervention included (a) changes in the career decision state low (d = 1.14), medium, (d = .14), and high (d = .17) over a three-week time period, (b) the extent of engagement in the task of taking the SDS and reviewing the reports, and (c) attitudes regard-ing aspects of the experience itself. Results showed a significant, positive impact of the online SDS on non-cli-ent students who were in a low career decision state (high career uncertain-ty, high career dissatisfaction, low career clarity) regarding their career goals and aspirations. Regardless of the students’ career decision state, the majority of students engaged the opportunity to further explore their interests through the SDS and reacted positively to the experience.

Show moreBy viewing political and social corruption through the lens of the control theory of complex systems, this paper will provide some insight into the effects of corruption and outside control on incentives which direct the formation and evolution of social networks, and the intrinsic hierarchies which they encode. This paper proposes and tests the hypothesis that changes in the rate of competition among nodes to raise their control capacity, incentivized by the anticipation of payment through political corruption opportunities, can be identified by changes in an indicator of the controllability of the network at points where the network undergoes a structural change. A theoretical model of control input preference is formulated which leads to a testable hypothesis about the direction of correlation between controllability of a network and the presence of corruption. Results support the hypothesis that as corruption increases, the network becomes more difficult to control as all members alter their linking strategies to ensure that they get a piece of the action. We describe this novel effect as “hierarchical congestion”, to reflect the emergent phenomenon in which individuals making effort to move themselves to the top of the controllability hierarchy increase the number of driver nodes required to fully control the network.

Show morePurpose: The purpose of this project was to identify primary care providers’ self-perceived knowledge, confidence, attitudes, and barriers to providing nutritional counseling to patients with lifestyle-related chronic illness. Determining where knowledge deficits exist in order to assist in establishing the need to incorporate nutrition education within medical curricula. Methods A descriptive cross-sectional designed study was employed, with a convenience sample, and used an online assessment survey that was distributed through the Florida Department of Health (DOH) public database via Qualtrics targeting licensed Primary Care Providers in the state of Florida. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze data for examination of the project aims.Results: Positive attitudes towards incorporating nutritional counseling in the management of patients living with diet-related chronic conditions were found, yet despite this awareness, a majority of providers offered nutritional counseling to their patients’ half the time, rarely, or never; and when provided, the amount of time spent discussing nutrition with their patients was reported as 5 minutes or less. Providers expressed the continued need for further nutrition education and training to support them in their current role.Implications: To improve providers nutrition knowledge and confidence and increase nutritional counseling within practice, an expansion of nutritional education in medical and advanced practice nursing curricula is warranted. This project focused on primary care providers self-perception of their nutrition confidence, knowledge, and attitudes, but other specialties should be considered in future research as nutritional counseling does not solely take place within the primary care setting.

The sample included third-, fourth-, and fifth-grade students in a Title 1 public school with a 100% African-American population. At the Tier 1 level, pre-post (immediate) comparisons on a social skills rating scale indicated statistically significant differences by group at the α = .10 level (p = 0.058). A significant Tier 1 quadratic effect for time [pre-test, post-test (immediate), post-test (delayed)] was found (p = 0.029) as well. At the Tier 2 level, pre-post comparisons indicated no statistically significant group improvement. Pre-post comparisons at the individual level found that about 39% of the children had statistically significant improvement in social skills, with 9% indicating a decrease in problem behaviors.

Show moreCognitive information processing theory (CIP; Sampson et al., 2004) originated in 1971 at Florida State University as researchers in career development who were strongly engaged in the delivery of career services integrated years of practice and research to create CIP theory. Since that time, hundreds of scholarly works in the form of conceptual and empirical articles, book chapters, and so forth, have been written on the key elements of CIP theory. In fact, Brown (2015) stated that “probably the most widely studied career interventions have been those devel-oped” from CIP theory (p. 62). CIP has been well-cited since its development, with 188 peer-reviewed articles and 350-plus total scholarly works (Sampson, Reardon, Peterson, & Lenz, 2019). The majority of these scholarly works are from the United States; however, several are from international contributors. In addition, the Center for the Study of Technology in Counsel-ling and Development (https://career.fsu.edu/tech-center/about-us), which focuses on exploring and building upon CIP theory and practice, has hosted 47 international visitors with interest in research and application of CIP theory. These contacts have shared via scholarly work as well as anecdotally about the impact of applying CIP in their settings.

Questionnaire data from 287 college students studying foreign languages in the United States confirmed that learners make calculated decisions regarding whether to seek feedback, by what method, and from what source, based on their own perceptions of the costs and values associated with different feedback-seeking strategies, which are, in turn, largely predicted by the learners’ language mindsets and achievement goals. Learners with a growth language mindset and development-approach goals sought feedback using both monitoring and inquiry methods and from teachers and others. Learners with a fixed language mindset and demonstration goals sought feedback only by method of inquiry but from different sources depending on the valence (approach vs. avoidance) of their goals.

Show moreWe present spectral analysis modal methods (SAMMs) to perform POD in the frequency domain using non-time-resolved Particle Image Velocity (PIV) data combined with unsteady surface pressure measurements. In particular, time-resolved unsteady surface pressure measurements are synchronized with non time-resolved planar PIV measurements acquired at 15 Hz in a Mach 0.6 cavity flow. Leveraging the spectral linear stochastic estimation (LSE) method of Tinney et al (2006), we first estimate the cross correlations between the velocity eld and the unsteady pressure sensors via sequential time shifts, followed by a Fast Fourier transform to obtain the pressure-velocity cross spectral density matrix. This leads to a linear multiple-input / multiple-output (MIMO) model that determines the optimal transfer functions between the input cavity wall pressure and the output velocity eld. Two variants of SAMMs are developed and applied. The first, termed \SAMM-SPOD", combines the MIMO model with the SPOD algorithm of Towne et al (2018). The second, called \SAMM-RR", adds independent sources and uses a sorted eigendecomposition of the input pressure cross-spectral matrix to enable an efficient reduced rank eigendecomposition of the velocity cross-spectral matrix. In both cases, the resulting rank-1 POD eigenvalues associated with the Rossiter frequencies exhibit very good agreement with those obtained using independent time-resolved PIV measurements. The results demonstrate that SAMMs provide a methodology to perform space-time POD without requiring a high-speed PIV system, while avoiding potential pitfalls associated with traditional time-domain LSE.

Show moreTracking students’ learning states to provide tailored learner support is a critical element of an adaptive learning system. This study explores how an automatic assessment is capable of tracking learners’ cognitive and emotional states during virtual reality (VR)-based representational-flexibility training. This VR-based training program aims to promote the flexibility of adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in interpreting, selecting, and creating multimodal representations during STEM-related design problem-solving. For the automatic assessment, we used both natural language processing (NLP) and machine-learning techniques to develop a multi-label classification model. We then trained the model with the data from a total of audio- and video-recorded 66 training sessions of four adolescents with ASD. To validate the model, we implemented both k-fold cross-validations and the manual evaluations by expert reviewers. The study finding suggests the feasibility of implementing the NLP and machine-learning driven automatic assessment to track and assess the cognitive and emotional states of individuals with ASD during VR-based flexibility training. The study finding also denotes the importance and viability of providing adaptive supports to maintain learners’ cognitive and affective engagement in a highly interactive digital learning environment.

Show moreThe school setting and proximal neighborhoods have recently been the focus of policies and infrastructure investments aimed at creating more child-friendly cities that encourage youth physical activity. Examples of these efforts in the US are the Safe Routes to School (SRTS) program and greenway projects. The extant literature has addressed active travel to school and greenways as discrete research topics, creating a gap in the literature that combines these efforts to determine if greenways can serve as an environmental support for youth active travel to school. This study fills this gap by examining the potential of greenways as SRTS infrastructure. The national SRTS survey was adapted to explore if and how high school and elementary school students in a traditionally underserved, predominately Latino community, use an urban greenway to travel to school. The survey results reveal that greenways may make it easier and safer for students to walk or bike to school as compared to using the often inadequate sidewalk and street infrastructure. In terms of policy implications, evidence from this study suggests that greenway interventions near schools may be a viable infrastructure improvement strategy to create more child-friendly cities.

Title: Social work and the necessity of open access.
Creator: Dunleavy, Daniel J.
Abstract/Description: Access to research and scholarship is essential for the practice of social work and the development of intra- and interdisciplinary knowledge. Therefore “open access” is a necessity for the field of social work to function and thrive. This post explores some of these issues and makes suggestions for how the field may make its knowledge and tools more open. The consequences of this are non-negligible, as greater access will arguably aid in solving society’s most pressing problems.

Show moreWe investigated variability in the C:234Th ratio of sinking particles and its relationship to changing water column characteristics and plankton ecological dynamics during 29 Lagrangian experiments conducted on six cruises of the California Current Ecosystem Long-Term Ecological Research (CCE-LTER) Program. C:234Th ratios of sinking particles collected by a surface-tethered sediment trap (C:234ThST) varied from 2.3 to 20.5 μmol C dpm−1 over a depth range of 47–150 m. C:234ThST was significantly greater (by a factor of 1.8) than C:234Th ratios of suspended >51-μm particles collected in the same water parcels with in situ pumps. C:234Th ratios of large (>200-μm) sinking particles also exceeded those of smaller sinking particles. C:234ThST decreased with depth from the base of the euphotic zone through the upper twilight zone. C:234ThST was positively correlated with several indices of ecosystem productivity including particulate organic carbon (POC) and chlorophyll (Chl) concentrations, mesozooplankton biomass, and the fraction of Chl >20-μm. Principal component analysis and multiple linear regression suggested that decaying phytoplankton blooms exhibited higher C:234ThST than actively growing blooms at similar biomass levels. C:234ThST was positively correlated with indices of the fractional contribution of fecal pellets in sediment traps when the proportion of fecal pellets was low in the traps, likely because of a correlation between mesozooplankton biomass and other indices of ecosystem productivity. However, when fecal pellets were a more important component of sinking material, C:234ThST decreased with increasing fecal pellet content. C:234ThST was also positively correlated with the Si:C ratio of sinking particles. Across the dataset (and across depths) a strong correlation was found between C:234ThST and the ratio of vertically-integrated POC to vertically-integrated total water column 234Th (vC:234Thtot). A mechanistic one-layer, two-box model of thorium sorption and desorption was invoked to explain this correlation. Two empirical models (one using vC:234Thtot; one using depth and vertically-integrated Chl) were developed to predict C:234Th ratios in this coastal upwelling biome. The former regression (log10(C:234ThST) = 0.43 × log10(vC:234Thtot) + 0.53) was found to also be a reasonable predictor for C:234ThST from diverse regions including the Southern Ocean, Sargasso Sea, Subarctic North Pacific, and Eastern Tropical North Pacific.

Additionally, this project will explore how the patient’s length of stay in the recovery varies across demographic factors. This project may be beneficial since the goal of the surgery center is to provide patients minimum sedation to facilitate the procedure effectively and promote successful discharge to home with the shortest recovery stay.Methods: This study is a descriptive and cross-sectional retrospective chart review performed at the Emerald Coast Surgery Center in Fort Walton Beach, Florida. 232 patient charts were selected based on the inclusion criteria: 15 years and older and received gabapentin preoperatively from January 2018 to April 2020. The association of preoperative gabapentin on postoperative pain relief, level of sedation, and length of stay in the recovery room across patients’ demographic factors examined.Results: There is no clinically significant difference among gabapentin dosages and postoperative pain scores, sedation level, but the mean length of stay increases with the higher dosages of gabapentin. Among other demographic factors, the age of 66 and older for all three gabapentin dosages reported the longest mean length of stay in the recovery room.Discussion: Findings from this project may support the prolonged sedating effect of gabapentin, which delays discharge from the recovery room. Conclusions: Preoperative use of gabapentin may decrease the pain. However, there were no dose-related effects on better relief. Higher doses of gabapentin increase the length of stay in the recovery, which indicates future studies related to possible factors that may lead to a longer stay in the recovery room.

Title: Precision Doping of Polyelectrolyte Complexes: Insight on the Role of Ions.
Creator: Schlenoff, Joseph
Abstract/Description: The properties of polyelectrolyte complexes and coacervates, both termed PECs, are influenced strongly by their ion and water content. Water plasticizes PECs, reducing their modulus and glass transition temperature, Tg. In this work, a hydrated PEC with a Tg near room temperature, made from poly(diallyldimethylammonium), PDADMA, and poly(styrene sulfonate), PSS, was precisely doped with 22Na-labeled sodium salts along a Hofmeister series. A distinctive change in the rate of doping versus...
Show moreThe properties of polyelectrolyte complexes and coacervates, both termed PECs, are influenced strongly by their ion and water content. Water plasticizes PECs, reducing their modulus and glass transition temperature, Tg. In this work, a hydrated PEC with a Tg near room temperature, made from poly(diallyldimethylammonium), PDADMA, and poly(styrene sulfonate), PSS, was precisely doped with 22Na-labeled sodium salts along a Hofmeister series. A distinctive change in the rate of doping versus added salt concentration was observed for all salts. This transition was interpreted to reflect a change in ion-accessible volume coinciding with a change in the role of added salt from counterions for the polyelectrolytes, paired directly and within one water molecule of the charge on the polymer backbone, to a mix of counterions and co-ions, which do not have a specific location within the PEC. Isothermal calorimety for PEC made in, and doped by, NaCl showed two clear regions for enthaply change, ΔH, before and after the doping transition. The higher ΔH region was correlated with the counterion role, an indirect measure of the location of ions within the PEC

Title: Low-order Estimation Of The Velocity, Hydrodynamic Pressure, And Acoustic Radiation For A Three-dimensional Turbulent Wall Jet.
Creator: Nickels, Adam, Ukeiley, Lawrence, Reger, Robert, Cattafesta, Louis
Abstract/Description: A method for the experimental characterization of the velocity, hydrodynamic pressure, and acoustic generation in a subsonic (Re-H = 25, 500), three-dimensional, turbulent wall jet is presented. An acoustic analogy formulated for the turbulent wall jet shows that the far-field acoustics relate to the Reynolds stress fluctuations of the velocity field or the product of the hydrodynamic pressure fluctuations and the rate-of-strain field. As these quantities cannot be measured directly with...
Show moreA method for the experimental characterization of the velocity, hydrodynamic pressure, and acoustic generation in a subsonic (Re-H = 25, 500), three-dimensional, turbulent wall jet is presented. An acoustic analogy formulated for the turbulent wall jet shows that the far-field acoustics relate to the Reynolds stress fluctuations of the velocity field or the product of the hydrodynamic pressure fluctuations and the rate-of-strain field. As these quantities cannot be measured directly with sufficient resolution, low-order reconstructions of the velocity field based on the use of the Proper Orthogonal Decomposition and Stochastic Estimation are developed. Reconstruction of the three-dimensional field is accomplished using spanwise-aligned, stereoscopic particle image velocimetry measurements, obtained at 16 streamwise locations synchronously with an array of 32 surface pressure transducers. The velocity field reconstruction is then used to calculate the fluctuating pressure field (via Poisson's equation) allowing for the evaluation of coupled pressure-velocity terms in addition to an acoustic analogy for the acoustic far-field. Application of these methods show that the large-scale motion throughout the shear layer is captured by the velocity and hydrodynamic pressure field estimates and features of the acoustic far-field are recovered.

Show moreAvailable high-resolution crystal structures for the family of beta-trefoil proteins in the structural databank were queried for buried waters. Such waters were classified as either: (a) unique to a particular domain, family, or superfamily or (b) conserved among all beta-trefoil folds. Three buried waters conserved among all beta-trefoil folds were identified. These waters are related by the threefold rotational pseudosymmetry characteristic of this protein architecture (representing three instances of an identical structural environment within each repeating trefoil-fold motif). The structural properties of this buried water are remarkable and include: residing in a cavity space no larger than a single water molecule, exhibiting a positional uncertainty (i.e., normalized B-factor) substantially lower than the average C alpha atom, providing essentially ideal H-bonding geometry with three solvent-inaccessible main chain groups, simultaneously serving as a bridging H-bond for three different beta-strands at a point of secondary structure divergence, and orienting conserved hydrophobic side chains to form a nascent core-packing group. Other published work supports an interpretation that these interactions are key to the formation of an efficient folding nucleus and folded thermostability. The fundamental threefold symmetric structural element of the beta-trefoil fold is therefore, surprisingly, a buried water molecule.

Show moreA turbulent boundary layer is a ubiquitous element of fundamental and applied fluid mechanics. Unfortunately, accurate measurements of turbulent boundary layer parameters (e.g. friction velocityu tau tau(w)) are challenging, especially for high-speed flows (Smitset al2011). Many direct and/or indirect diagnostic techniques have been developed to measure wall shear stress (Vinuesaet al2017). However, based on various principles, these techniques generally give different results with varying uncertainties. The current study introduces a nonlinear data assimilation framework based on the unscented Kalman filter (UKF) that can fuse information from (i) noisy and discretized measurements from stereo particle image velocimetry (SPIV), a Preston tube, and a MEMS shear stress sensor, as well as (ii) the uncertainties of the measurements to estimate the parameters of a turbulent boundary layer. A direct numerical simulation of a fully developed turbulent channel flow is used first to validate the data assimilation algorithm. The algorithm is then applied to experimental boundary layer data at Mach 0.3 obtained in a blowdown wind tunnel facility. Drag coefficients from control volume analysis of the SPIV and wall pressure data and laser interferometer skin friction measurements are used for independent cross-validation. The UKF-based data assimilation algorithm is robust to the uncertain and discretized experimental data and is able to provide accurate estimates of turbulent boundary layer parameters with quantified uncertainty.

Show morePolyelectrolyte complexes or coacervates, PECs, represent one of the many families of ion-containing polymers proposed or in use for applications requiring mobile ions, including fuel cells, water purification, and rechargeable batteries. Interest in these materials has focused on how ion transport is coupled to, and limited by, polymer dynamics, which slow considerably below the glass transition, T-g. Unlike many other polymer systems, ion conductivity in hydrated PECs remains high above and below T-g. In this work, we investigate the transport of water and ions within a PEC as the polymer host passes through T-g. We find no evidence of a response in the transport of water and small univalent ions, such as Na+ and Cl-, as the hydrated PEC goes through T-g. In contrast, triple-charged ions ferricyanide and ruthenium hexamine experience a second-order change in transport rate at T-g. This response is interpreted to show that these ions engage enough polyelectrolyte repeat units to experience the highly localized cooperative rearrangement thought to be responsible for the glass transition.

Show moreThe creative destruction inherent in a capitalist economy enables entrepreneurial individuals to get ahead, but threatens those who want to stay ahead. Those who want to get ahead benefit from the continual evolution that characterizes a market economy, whereas those who want to stay ahead prefer stability and want to establish institutions that preserve the status quo. Those who want to stay ahead push for government regulations, subsidies, differential tax benefits, and other politically generated protections that preserve the status quo and inhibit creative destruction. Long-established firms have an advantage in doing so because they tend to have more financial resources to devote to rent-seeking, and often have long-standing political connections. To prevent capitalist institutions from being undermined by those who want to stay ahead requires a robust entrepreneurial class that can give those who want to get ahead sufficient political influence to counter those who want to stay ahead.

Participants' survey responses from two distance-running events (n(1) = 2,324 and n(2) = 2,526) were analyzed to challenge the traditional managerial scope and theoretical lens through which event satisfaction is conventionally examined. Results revealed five event benefits that capture key motivational antecedents of event satisfaction. Collectively, these benefits, including euphoric, fitness, competition, social, and entertainment benefits, influenced event satisfaction levels (R-2 = 43%) and repeat consumption intentions (R-2 = 23%). For event organizers to foster event satisfaction, it is central to encourage event preparation and participation that promotes the enjoyment of physical activity, fitness and appearance enhancement, socialization, competition, and excitement among registrants. Academics should also extend their scope of event satisfaction to fully capture the entirety of event experience lifecycles (e.g., from registration through event participation).

Our work also showed the distance between the coil and the melt surface had little effect on the grain sizes refined. Therefore, in ingot production, the dropping of melt surface is not a problem for PMO application.

This study attempts to develop a prediction model for identifying cyberbullying "hotspots" by analyzing the manifestation of charged language on Twitter. A total of 140,000 tweets were collected using a Twitter API during September 2019. The study reports that certain charged language in tweets can indicate a high potential for cyberbullying incidents. Cyberbullies tend to share negative emotion, demonstrate anger, and use abusive words to attack victims. The predictor variables related to "biology," "sexual," and "swear" can be further used to differentiate cyberbullies from non-cyberbullies. The study contributes to the detection of cyberbullying "hotspots," by providing an approach to identify a tendency for cyberbullying activity based on computational analysis of charged language. The contribution is significant for mediation agenciesdsuch as school counseling and law enforcement agencies. (C) 2020 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

Show moreTracking students' learning states to provide tailored learner support is a critical element of an adaptive learning system. This study explores how an automatic assessment is capable of tracking learners' cognitive and emotional states during virtual reality (VR)-based representational-flexibility training. This VR-based training program aims to promote the flexibility of adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in interpreting, selecting and creating multimodal representations during STEM-related design problem solving. For the automatic assessment, we used both natural language processing (NLP) and machine-learning techniques to develop a multi-label classification model. We then trained the model with the data from a total of audio- and video-recorded 66 training sessions of four adolescents with ASD. To validate the model, we implemented both k-fold cross-validations and the manual evaluations by expert reviewers. The study finding suggests the feasibility of implementing the NLP and machine-learning driven automatic assessment to track and assess the cognitive and emotional states of individuals with ASD during VR-based flexibility training. The study finding also denotes the importance and viability of providing adaptive supports to maintain learners' cognitive and affective engagement in a highly interactive digital learning environment.

Show moreGram-scale insects, such as cockroaches, take advantage of the mechanical properties of the musculoskeletal system to enable rapid and robust running. Engineering gram-scale robots, much like their biological counterparts, comes with inherent constraints on resources due to their small sizes. Resource-constrained robots are generally limited in their computational complexity, making controlled, high-speed locomotion a challenge, especially in unstructured environments. In this paper we show that embedding control into the leg mechanics of robots, similarly to cockroaches, results in predictable dynamics from an open-loop control strategy that can be modified through material choice. Tuning the mechanical properties of gram-scale robot legs promotes high-speed, stable running, reducing the need for active control. We utilize a torque-driven damped spring-loaded inverted pendulum model to explore the behavior and the design space of a spring-damper leg at this scale. The resulting design maps show the trade-offs in performance goals, such as speed and efficiency, with stability, as well as the sensitivity in performance to the leg properties and the control input. Finally, we demonstrate experimental results with magnetically actuated quadrupedal gram-scale robots, incorporating viscoelastic legs and demonstrating speeds up to 11.7 body lengths per second.

Show moreThis paper describes one possible origin point for fraudulent behavior within the American pharmaceutical industry. We argue that during the late nineteenth century therapeutic reformers sought to promote both laboratory science and increasingly systematized forms of clinical experiment as a new basis for therapeutic knowledge. This process was intertwined with a transformation in the ethical framework in which medical science took place, one in which monopoly status was replaced by clinical utility as the primary arbiter of pharmaceutical legitimacy. This new framework fundamentally altered the set of epistemic virtues-a phrase we draw from the philosophical field of virtue epistemology-considered necessary to conduct reliable scientific inquiry regarding drugs. In doing so, it also made possible new forms of fraud in which newly emergent epistemic virtues were violated. To make this argument, we focus on the efforts of Francis E. Stewart and George S. Davis of Parke, Davis & Company. Therapeutic reformers within the pharmaceutical industry, such as Stewart and Davis, were an important part of the broader normative and epistemic transformation we describe in that they sought to promote laboratory science and systematized clinical trials toward the twin goals of improving pharmaceutical science and promoting their own commercial interests. Yet, as we suggest, Parke, Davis & Company also serves as an example of a company that violated the very norms that Stewart and Davis helped introduce. We thus seek to describe one possible origin point for the widespread fraudulent practices that now characterize the pharmaceutical industry. We also seek to describe an origin point for why we conceptualize such practices as fraudulent in the first place.

Show morePrior research revealed that audiovisual presentations modeling information-seeking behavior (ISB) with vicarious reinforcement can increase engagement in career decision-making activities. This article describes a strategy for updating effective counseling strategies initiated by John Krumboltz and others fifty years ago. However, technology-based resource delivery, as well as the preferences and values of today’s Gen Z students, have led to new options for how ISB can be portrayed and delivered. This article revisits and updates a theory- and research-based technological career intervention for contemporary counseling services.

Title: The Career State Inventory (CSI): Applications in Practice.
Creator: Reardon, Robert, Christianson, Serena, Coleman, Rachel, Dozier, V. Casey, Hayden, Seth, Leierer, Steve, Miller, Adam, Peterson, Gary
Abstract/Description: The career decision state (CDS) is a condition of being or consciousness, a “snapshot,” with respect to one’s present career goals. The Career State Inventory provides a total score assessing the CDS, and assesses three components of it, i.e., (a) a person’s self–assessment of occupational preferences or lack thereof (career certainty), (b) an assessment of satisfaction related to the occupational preferences (career satisfaction), and (c) the strength of a person’s confidence regarding the...

An individual’s career decision state may range from being highly certain, satisfied, and clear in one’s choice (first choice, no alternatives), to being completely undecided, dissatisfied, confused, and lacking confidence in making a choice (no choice, no options).

Title: Engaging Communities with Supported Interpretation: A Step-by-Step Guide to Developing Visitor-Centered Exhibitions Using the SI Model.
Creator: Viera, Alicia, Villeneuve, Pat
Abstract/Description: During recent years, a growing number of art museums and galleries have experimented with innovative approaches to exhibition development to create more meaningful visitor experiences. However, although commendable, their efforts to make exhibitions visitor-centered have still not been consistent, partially due to the lack of existing models for practice for these kinds of projects.

Show moreDuring recent years, a growing number of art museums and galleries have experimented with innovative approaches to exhibition development to create more meaningful visitor experiences. However, although commendable, their efforts to make exhibitions visitor-centered have still not been consistent, partially due to the lack of existing models for practice for these kinds of projects. This chapter focuses on supported interpretation (SI), a model for developing visitor-centered exhibitions that can help museum professionals better advocate for their audiences, engage community members in the process of exhibition development, and turn visitors into active participants who feel empowered to share content during their museum visits. The authors dive deeply into the guidelines for implementing SI, discuss prior iterations of the model, share lessons learned, and explore new scenarios in order to provide current and future art museum educators and interpretive planners with an easy-to-follow roadmap for developing successful visitor-centered SI exhibitions.

Title: Humanizing Augmented Reality with Lumin.
Creator: DiRienzo, Megan, Montiel de Shuman, Andrea, Viera, Alicia
Abstract/Description: Art museums are packed with objects that connect us to the creativity of human beings from around the globe and throughout time. So, why—in this media-saturated world that confuses fiction with fact—would museums choose to disrupt this authentic connection to humanity with a handheld device that augments reality? The formative evaluation of Lumin, an augmented reality (AR) tour at the Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA), revealed some compelling reasons.

Show morePurpose: The purpose of this project was to create an evidence-based toolkit to guide local community leaders in the planning process of establishing Aging-in-Place initiatives. The toolkit highlights best practices for key components of Aging-in-Place infrastructures that provide sufficient support to allow older adults to remain in their homes as they age. Methods: Toolkit development was based on an integrative literature review, interviews with research experts and community leaders of aging-in-place initiatives in the U.S., organizational resources on healthy aging and aging-in-place initiatives, and identified needs of local older adults. Results: Major themes in the literature were skilled healthcare professionals, modifications to the home environment, the importance of social engagement, and sustainability of aging-in-place initiatives. Similar themes were identified in the interviews but were more focused on the structure and characteristics of successful aging-in-place programs, including funding, community support and partnerships, leadership, program services and sustainability.Discussion: This toolkit can be utilized by aging-in-place leaders in Tallahassee to develop and maintain a program to provide support that allows to older adults to remain in their homes as they age. This will not only decrease the strain on the local healthcare system but improve the quality of life of elderly residents by allowing them to remain independent and maintain meaningful social relationships in their community. Conclusions: A growing demand for innovative ideas to address the expanding utilization of healthcare services exists due to consequences of aging such as the development of chronic disease and decreased physical mobility. The fact that Florida ranks last in the country in providing long-term care services and support for older adults should spark immediate action by state government officials (AARP, 2020). Research has demonstrated that aging-in-place programs are cost-effective, provide superior outcomes, as well as improve the quality of life of older adults.Major Professor: Eileen Cormier, PhD, RN

Title: Coronavirus and Inequality: The Rich Get Richer, the Poor Get a Kick in the Behind.
Creator: Hendricks, Vincent F., Dunleavy, Daniel J.
Abstract/Description: A virus does not make distinctions. It just spreads, it just hits. But the ones who are challenged already are getting challenged even more. The richest countries in the world, making up some 13% of the global population, have ahead of time secured 51% of the COVID-19 vaccine. Like with many other societal inequalities, the Matthew effect kicks in concerning the novel coronavirus: “For to everyone who has will more be given, and he will have an abundance

Methods: A cross sectional-survey was used to understand screening practices of bedside RNs. A convenience sample of RNs, licensed in Florida, were recruited through the state Board of Nursing. They were emailed the purpose, consent, and modified PREMIS (Physician Readiness to Manage Intimate Partner Violence Survey) survey. Results: Out of 176,000 emailed, 808 bedside RNs responded. Results indicated that 25.7% had over 11 hours of DV training and 60.9% felt moderately to well prepared to screen for DV. Conversely, 57.7% reported that they knew none, to moderate number of appropriate screening questions, and 34.2% believed victims could not make appropriate decisions. Moreover, few RNs knew Joint Commission standards (35.7%), believed they had sufficient resources (39.1%), received enough training (20.9%), and screened patients regularly (45%). Finally, RNs reported significant barriers to DV screening, like lack of time (66.6%), private locations (21.5%), no protocols (60.6%), and unfamiliarity with protocols (55.7%). Discussion: Registered nurses are lacking in consistency and frequency of screening for DV. Their knowledge of DV screening, resources, and signs of abuse are also deficient. An effective screening tool and implementation, and adherence to workplace policies are needed in acute care settings to improve screening consistency, frequency, and knowledge, and remove perceived barriers. Conclusions: Workplaces should provide employees with expectations, training, and effective screening methods for DV. These are essential to improve DV screening by bedside RNs.

Show moreThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of two methods for teaching critical thinking (CT) skills to communication sciences and disorders students. It was hypothesized that a short course of critical thinking training would result in improved student scores on CT assessments. Also, it was hypothesized that students taught using a mixed instruction method would exhibit more improvement in their CT skills. The research involved a pre- and post-test comparison of students who completed 10 weeks of critical thinking instruction. The students had either a mix of direct instruction of CT concepts with problem-based learning communication sciences and disorders (CSD) examples or infused problem-based learning CT instruction. With CSD based problems. The pre- and post-tests consisted of a general and a content specific CT assessment. All of the students exhibited improved scores on both CT measures. In addition, the students who had the mixed instruction exhibited greater improvements. The greatest improvements for all students occurred for the trained CT skills. These results indicate that both mixed and infused instruction can be effective in teaching students CT skills, however, the mixed instruction was more effective.
