Show moreDespite the stereotype as a patriarchal region, several Latin American countries score higher in the global gender gap index than some developed countries. According to the UNWOMEN (2014), these countries are making substantial progress in terms of critical aspects of the feminist agenda, such as political and economic empowerment. In countries like Colombia, a unitary state, the path towards gender equality for women usually starts from nationwide mandatory laws to be implemented at the local level, where the only form of municipal government is that of a Mayor-Council system. Colombia has nominally strong laws that seek to advance gender equality. However, legalism does not necessarily lead to compliance and, for Colombia, achieving gender-responsive planning (GRP) is a matter that goes beyond the existence of good laws (Lozano-Torres & Doan, forthcoming). What are then the elements that lead to having a Gender Responsive City? What are the conditions that help address gender equality at the local level in countries where mandates come from a central national government? How do these efforts look like in a city’s governance scheme and planning activities? The feminist literature highlights several variables that play an important role in advancing progressive agendas to reduce gender inequalities (Burgess, 2008; Damyanovic & Zibell, 2013). I contend that responsiveness towards women’s needs is a function of the following four dimensions: (1) WHO is doing the planning, (2) for WHOM the plan is done, (3) the INSTITUTIONAL context surrounding the process, and (4) the planning APPROACH used. In other words, GRP depends on having women in power (Park, 2013), the community’s characteristics, the institutional readiness for gender equality, and the planning method. From a sample of 294 Colombian cities, I built an index (GRP) of gender responsiveness using Content Analysis and identified the variables that make a city more gender progressive, using an OLS regression. Results indicate that the responsiveness to women’s needs from a city highly depends on the institutional context surrounding the planning process and the characteristics of the people for whom the plan is done. The WHO dimension was found significant but negative, which needs further research because there was a lack of critical mass of women in power, at less than 20 percent. A Qualitative Content Analysis (QCA) of twenty-one cities found that the women’s agenda can be developed in many ways, but its pillars can be divided into crucial, basic, and empowering. The crucial refers to physical integrity of women, while the basic denotes to educational attainment and opportunity. Political participation is the empowering pillar. An analysis of the quantitative and qualitative results showed convergence between GRP level and cities’ program for gender equality for the cities at each end of the spectrum. Divergence was found for five cities that had mixed results. This confirms the importance that each analysis brings in shedding light to a different dimension of gender responsiveness for these cities. This study provides an in-depth quantitative and qualitative analysis that can help planners, public administrators, and decision makers not only understand the variables determining responsiveness to women’s interests, but also define what strategies can be used to achieve gender equality. It also helps to corroborate or dismiss some of planners' assumptions regarding what helps to advance gender equality. Key words: gender equality, gender-responsive planning, local planning, feminist planning, Latin America, Colombia, women, Latinx, representative bureaucracy.

Show moreJorge Agustín Nicolás Ruiz de Santayana y Borrás, better known by his English name George Santayana, was a prominent philosopher, novelist, and poet during the first part of the twentieth century. In this dissertation, I use Santayana’s life and work to argue for the importance of a treatment of aesthetics in the field of religion that considers the way these two overlapping concerns shape conceptions of individual subjectivity. Specifically, I use Santayana’s notion of religion as a type of poetic production to point to the way aesthetics can provide discursive tools for analyzing the way consciousness is perceived and articulated by subjects in modernity. I term Santayana’s method “plastic religion” for its emphasis on the way subjectivity both shapes and is shaped by encounters with the environment. This work compliments traditional approaches to aesthetics in the field of American religious history which emphasize sensory data as evidence of commercial activity and institution-building, while also suggesting that this information provides historians a unique perspective through which they can engage critically with identity formation and expression. In this dissertation, I take up Santayana as the explicit subject, but I also view his insistence that religion and poetry are bound together as methodologically instructive. In each chapter, I offer historically-minded readings of Santayana’s life and writing regarding religion that also present interpretive approaches that account for aesthetics. Chapter One provides an overview of Santayana’s life and work framed around three instances of metanoia, or conversion. Typically translated as a “change of heart,” the term metanoia has both theological and poetic connotations that suggest the reformation of perception. Santayana used the term in his autobiography to describe a moment in 1893 when, after experiencing a series of personal tragedies, his sense of self was altered, and he became committed to living a life of personal and professional detachment. In this chapter, I suggest that, in keeping with Santayana’s use of the term, moments in which the self-conception of a subject is dramatically altered can be located in documentary evidence and can help shape the framework of biographical narrative. Chapter Two maps the career-spanning debates between Santayana and William James, Josiah Royce, and John Dewey regarding the relationship between religion and experience. Using Santayana’s description of American philosophy’s division between “the skyscraper” and “the colonial manse” as a general spatial metaphor, I argue that Santayana’s understanding of religion’s plasticity was influenced by his debates with Royce and James, and affirmed later in his life through his public back-and-forth with Dewey. I also use this chapter to position Santayana in relation to the idealism, pragmatism, and naturalism that were prevalent over the course of his life in his philosophical environment. Chapter Three describes in detail Santayana’s definition of religion as a type of poetic expression as contained in his book Interpretations of Religion and Poetry, and it positions this perspective in the broader aesthetic tradition of American spirituality as described by historians William Clebsch and Henry Samuel Levinson. According to Clebsch and Levinson, individuals within the aesthetic tradition of American spirituality treat religion as a process of creative consciousness building using responses to existing traditions and their own experience. This religious style began with Jonathan Edwards and then carries on through Ralph Waldo Emerson, William James, and Santayana. I define Santayana’s position as “plastic religion” for the emphasis it places on the creation of reality, for the subject and for the surrounding environment, through form. Chapter Four outlines the manner in which Santayana’s understanding of religion’s plasticity shaped his approach to the curation of his national, racial, and religious identity. I argue that Santayana’s perspective on the ability of the individual to exercise agency when directing their perception was endowed by his view of religion. I also indicate the way this allowed him to translate philosophic notions of the self to expressions of cultural identity. For Santayana, this approach made it possible to navigate the complex terrain of his own “variations,” but it also, at times, left him vulnerable to the harboring of prejudice. Chapter Five examines the influence Santayana’s treatment of religion had on a diverse array of individuals during the 20th century. Alfred North Whitehead, the English mathematician and philosopher, found in Santayana’s discussion of religion a critical tool for his understanding of religious difference. Alain Locke, the leader of the New Negro movement in the 1920s, drew on Santayana’s description of religion when formulating his views on value relativism and cultural pluralism. Russell Kirk, the Catholic traditionalist, understood Santayana as a vital link in the progression of conservative thought.

Show morePurpose: Tongue and/or lip ties (TT/LT) occur in 2-11% of infants and contribute to breastfeeding difficulties, speech delays, and dental conditions. The purpose of this project was to identify the current practice, knowledge, beliefs, and confidence level of nurse practitioners (APRNs) in Florida who care for infants regarding identification, symptoms, and treatment options for TT/LT; and to examine how these constructs change after completing an educational module on TT/LT. Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional project was employed, with a self-selected nonprobability sample. APRNs who care for infants in Florida were recruited via online sources. An educational module was developed with a pre/post survey measuring APRN practice, knowledge, beliefs, and confidence levels regarding TT/LT. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze data.Results: Forty-six APRNs completed the pre-survey. Most participants (78.1%) report inadequacies in education regarding TT/LT and 82.6% of participants agree that TT/LT are associated with breastfeeding difficulties. Most participants diagnose TT/LT, but 91% do not perform release procedures. Less than 35% of participants follow any guidelines regarding the management of tongue and lip ties. All participants found the educational module beneficial.Discussion: Findings from this project are consistent with the literature; increased awareness of TT/LT is needed. The lack of education reported by APRNs in this sample confirm that an educational module may meet this knowledge gap. Limitations to this study, such as a low number of post-module survey responses, limited the ability to evaluate benefit of the educational module.Conclusion: APRNs in this study recognize the importance of identifying TT/LT to prevent breastfeeding difficulties, however, lack of education in assessing and managing TT/LT was evident. Future research should identify how to implement an educational module in larger sample and validate benefit by examining change in APRN practice, knowledge, beliefs, and confidence in assessing and managing TT/LT.

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.

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

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 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.

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.

Gram-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.

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.

To combat the declining number of finishers plaguing the distance-running industry, it is increasingly important for organizers to optimize event satisfaction levels. 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.

Show moreTo combat the declining number of finishers plaguing the distance-running industry, it is increasingly important for organizers to optimize event satisfaction levels. 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).

SPMO-H (Simplified Surface Pulse Magneto-Oscillation) and CPMO-H (Simplified Compound Pulse Magneto-Oscillation) were presented on the basis of SPMO (Surface Pulse Magneto-Oscillation) and CPMO (Compound Pulse Magneto-Oscillation). Our numerical and experimental results showed that optimized PMO coil design offered us a device that enabled the operator to examine and operate the melt more convenient without losing the efficiency and decreasing refinement effect. 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.

Show moreThe ability to discover cyberbullying "hotspots" on social media is vitally important for purposes of preventing victimization. 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 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.

Thin-walled tubes that classically form when metal salts react with sodium silicate solution are known as chemical gardens. They share similarities with the porous, catalytic materials in hydrothermal vent chimneys, and both structures are exposed to steep pH gradients that, combined with thermal factors, might have provided the free energy for prebiotic chemistry on early Earth. We report temperature effects on the shape, composition, and opacity of chemical gardens. Tubes grown at high...
Show moreThin-walled tubes that classically form when metal salts react with sodium silicate solution are known as chemical gardens. They share similarities with the porous, catalytic materials in hydrothermal vent chimneys, and both structures are exposed to steep pH gradients that, combined with thermal factors, might have provided the free energy for prebiotic chemistry on early Earth. We report temperature effects on the shape, composition, and opacity of chemical gardens. Tubes grown at high temperature are more opaque, indicating changes to the membrane structure or thickness. To study this dependence, we developed a temperature-controlled microfluidic device, which allows the formation of analogous membranes at the interface of two coflowing reactant solutions. For the case of Ni(OH)2, membranes thicken according to a diffusion-controlled mechanism. In the studied range of 10–40 degree Celsius, the effective diffusion coefficient is independent of temperature. This suggests that counteracting processes are at play (including an increased solubility) and that the opacity of chemical garden tubes arises from changes in internal morphology. The latter could be linked to experimentally observed dendritic structures within the membranes.

Four research questions guided the analysis: (a) What content topics were included in career development articles published in refereed journals in 2013?, (b) To what extent are theory, research, and practice integrated in career development articles published in refereed journals in 2013?, (c) What variation exists in the characteristics of career development articles published in refereed journals in 2013?, and (d) What variation exists in the content included in theory, research, and practice articles? A total of 360 unique topics were identified in 357 articles from 24 journals. Results indicated that topic content in journals evolved slowly with limited integration of theory, research, and practice. Implications are suggested for: (a) future topic content, (b) better integration of theory, research, and practice, (c) education and training, (d) journal editorial policy, and (e) future content analyses of journal articles.
