Experience of Nontenured, Tenure-Track Faculty and Gatekeeping: A Qualitative Research Study

EXPERIENCE OF NONTENURED, TENURE-TRACK FACULTY AND GATEKEEPING: A QUALITATIVE RESEARCH STUDY Meghan Butler, MA Marquette University, 2017 Using a consensual qualitative research (CQR) approach, this study investigated the experience of nontenured, tenure track faculty (NTTTF) members involved in gatekeeping with students for non-academic concerns from American Psychological Association (APA)and The Council for the Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP)-accredited programs. The study investigated the emotional and cognitive reactions, factors supportive/facilitative and discouraging/hindering of the decision to intervene, the impact the gatekeeping process had on NTTTF relationships and what the NTTTF learned from the gatekeeping intervention. Participants were five female faculty members. Results indicated participants had little to no training in gatekeeping beyond informal training from mentors/colleagues, but suggested that faculty should receive a fact-based training/orientation and be provided with mentoring. The NTTTF cared for the gatekept student’s wellbeing, but the student rejected the relationship. Supportive/facilitative factors for the faculty in intervening were a) support offered by other faculty; b) support sought from mentors; c) a sense of responsibility to protect future clients and the profession; d) confidence in their own experience, competence and evidence; and e) concern for the student. Hindering/discouraging factors were a) experience of negative affect, self-doubt, or anxiety; b) lack of support or engagement from other faculty members; c) lack of support from University officials; d) and departmental policies and procedures. Professionally, participants lost time and energy for publication and other professional responsibilities during the gatekeeping experience. After the intervention, they are faster to intervene with concerns, have more conversations with students about gatekeeping prior to problems, and are seen as the “go-to” faculty in their department for future gatekeeping and policy development. The intervention led to increased trust and connection with other faculty, increased communication and partnership with support staff, and increased stress in family relationships. Other students in participants’ programs had questions about enforcement of training/professional standards related to the gatekept student. Results’ relationship to Social Cognitive Career Theory are investigated. Implications for training and practice, as well as future directions for research, are discussed.
Job Satisfaction of Emergency Medicine Residents and Specialists

Background: This study aimed to assess satisfaction of emergency medicine residents and specialists. Methods: This was a cross-sectional survey conducted in Tehran, Iran. All emergency medicine specialists and residents in Iran at the time of study were eligible and included. A modified questionnaire, originally developed by Lloyd et al. was used. The final statistical analysis was done on the questionnaires. Results: A total of, 210 questionnaires from 143 residents and 67 emergency medicine specialists were collected. The overall satisfaction in specialists and residents was 50% and 42%, respectively (P < 0.05). The status of specialists’ recruitment, managerial aspects, available facilities, current lifestyle, and challenges related to the job, showed significant differences. Conclusions: Based on the findings of this study, although both residents and specialist satisfaction rates were at a moderate level, however, specialists were more satisfied with their job in comparison to residents.
Customer Satisfaction toward Online Purchasing Services: Evidence from Small & Medium Restaurants

This study examines shopper satisfaction toward an online purchasing model in small and medium restaurants (SMRs), including the quality of e-service and food, with perceived value as the determinants. For this research purpose, 392 data gathered from online restaurant shoppers in Bandung, Indonesia. This study adopts the Structural Equation Model (PLS) to evaluate shopper satisfaction relations with its determinants as well as consequences. The results uncover that both the quality of e-service and food on shopper satisfaction is essential, and disclose the partial mediation function of perceived value to assess the relationship between both qualities on shopper satisfaction. This study offers a guide to SMR managers to enhance their business performance by focusing on the quality of food, instead of focusing on both the quality of e-service and food. In terms of online service-based businesses, this research implies that the SMRs need to collaborate with reliable online platform service providers.
Magnetic recyclable CoFe2O4@PPy prepared by in situ Fenton oxidization polymerization with advanced photo-Fenton performance

Here we present a magnetic recyclable photo-Fenton catalyst CoFe2O4@PPy with uniform morphology and excellent dispersibility prepared via simple in situ Fenton oxidization polymerization. The CoFe2O4 core provides good magnetic recyclability for the catalysts as well as the ion source for catalyzed decomposition of H2O2 in PPy coating. The optimal catalytic effect can be obtained by adjusting the ratio of CoFe2O4 and PPy. Methylene blue, Methyl orange and Rhodamine B (RhB) employed as model pollutants certificated that the catalyst exhibits a wide range of photodegradability. The decoloration rates reach nearly 100% in the photodegradation of 10 mg L−1 RhB after 2 h visible-light irradiation and only low toxicity small molecules are detected by LC-MS. Moreover, the catalytic activity remains after 5 cycles with decoloration rates up to 90%. The degradation measurement in the presence of scavengers of reactive species reveals that the positive holes (h+) and hydroxyl radical (·OH) are the main reactive oxygen species in the CoFe2O4@PPy system. The performance enhancement may be attributed to the combination of improved Fenton activity by coordinated Fe2+ and PPy redox pairs and photo-catalytic activity by broaden adsorption and photo-generated charge separation.

Cardiovascular responses produced by resistin injected into paraventricular nucleus mediated by the glutamatergic and CRFergic transmissions within rostral ventrolateral medulla

Objective(s): Resistin, as a 12.5 kDa cysteine-rich polypeptide, is expressed in hypothalamus and regulates sympathetic nerve activity. It is associated with obesity, metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular diseases. In this study, we investigated the neural pathway of cardiovascular responses induced by injection of resistin into paraventricular nucleus (PVN) with rostral ventrolateral medulla (RVLM). Materials and Methods: Adult male rats were anesthetized with urethane (1.4 g/kg intraperitoneally). Resistin (3 µg/1 µl/rat) was first injected into PVN, and the glutamatergic, corticotrophin-releasing factor (CRF)-ergic and angiotensinogenic transmission was inhibited by injecting of their antagonist in RVLM. Arterial pressure (AP) and heart rate (HR) were monitored before and after the injection. Results: The results showed that resistin injection into PVN significantly increased AP and HR compared to control group and prior to its injection (P<0.05). Injection of AP5 ((2R)-amino-5-phosphonovaleric acid; (2R)-amino-5-phosphonopentanoate) (50 nM/rat), losartan (10 nM/rat) and astressin (50 nM/rat) into RVLM reduced cardiovascular responses produced by injected resistin into PVN. Injection of AP5+losartan or astressin+losartan or astressin+AP5 into RVLM could significantly reduce cardiovascular responses produced by resistin compared to before injection (P<0.05). Furthermore, the depressor responses generated by AP5+losartan injected into RVLM were significantly stronger than the depressor responses generated by AP5+astressin and/or astressin+losartan injected into RVLM (P<0.05). Conclusion: It can be concluded that glutamatergic and CRFergic transmissions have crucial contribution to cardiovascular responses produced by resistin. The results provided new and potentially important insight regarding neural transmission when the plasma level of resistin increases; this reveals the role of resistin in cardiovascular responses such as metabolic syndrome and hypertension.
The impact on and responses of viewers to product placement: a study of mainstream films.

Product placement is a promotional tool within the discipline of marketing whereby branded items feature in entertainment vehicles such as video games, television programmes, stage plays, music videos, books and films. This thesis investigates this practice in relation to mainstream, commercial films. The nature of this research gives it a multidisciplinary approach across two key themes, namely Celebrity Status and Product Placement - with Marketing Communications being the element that links them. Determining which product placements in films make the most impact upon consumers for the commercial benefit of the stakeholders is, primarily, this focus of this thesis. In total eighty-six individuals were interviewed, and the researcher used a qualitative approach, informed with a grounded theory methodology. This yielded an abundance of responses with participants providing a wealth of mixed and, at times, contradictory feedback relating to the acceptance, rejection and ethical concerns regarding product placements. As part of the research process, close attention was paid to the attraction and fascination that actors hold for research participants and how this celebrity-focus, combined with having an audience in a relaxed and receptive frame of mind, informs outcomes in terms of brand recall, enhanced brand values and eventual sales. The study concludes that film placements remain an elusive practice to assess despite it being a long-established marketing technique that has a growing, multi-billion dollar annual spend. This thesis provides insights into the practice and suggests that key variables such as the placement presentation styles and the diversity of consumers, make the commercial assessment of placements hard to determine. Thus, any measures of the success of product placement in mainstream films appear to be limited and difficult to predict.
Global well-posedness, pattern formation and spiky stationary solutions in a Beddington–DeAngelis competition system

This paper investigates a reaction-advection-diffusion system that describes the evolution of population distributions of two competing species in an enclosed bounded habitat. Here the competition relationships are assumed to be of the Beddington–DeAngelis type. In particular, we consider a situation where first species disperses by a combination of random walk and directed movement along with the population distribution of the second species which disperse randomly within the habitat. We obtain a set of results regarding the qualitative properties of this advective competition system. First of all, we show that this system is globally well-posed and its solutions are classical and uniformly bounded in time. Then we study its steady states in a one-dimensional interval by examining the combined effects of diffusion and advection on the existence and stability of nonconstant positive steady states of the strongly coupled elliptic system. Our stability result of these nontrivial steady states provides a selection mechanism for stable wavemodes of the time-dependent system. Moreover, in the limit of diffusion rates, the steady states of this fully elliptic system can be approximated by nonconstant positive solutions of a shadow system that admits boundary spikes and layers. Furthermore, for the fully elliptic system, we construct solutions with a single boundary spike or an inverted boundary spike, i.e., the first species concentrates on a boundary point while the second species dominates the remaining habitat. These spatial structures model the spatial segregation phenomenon through interspecific competitions. Finally, we perform some numerical simulations to illustrate and support our theoretical findings.
The Importance of Feedback Seeking Behavior To Increase Employees Performance In Higher Education Institutions

This study examine influence of feedback seeking behavior (FSB); competence; motivation; trust on work performance employees and lecturers here are referred as 'employees' in State Universities in Central Java. The population in this research is the employees (employees and lecturers) of state universities in Central Java; they are employees of Semarang State University, Jenderal Soedirman University and Diponegoro State University. The approximate number in those universities is around 3,000-4,000 people. This study applies SEM-PLS analysis. The results reveal that feedback seeking behaviour has negative effect on competence; on the other hand, the feedback-seeking behaviour has a positive and direct effect on work performance; while competence has positive and significant effect on motivation; furthermore, motivation has positive and significant relationship on work performance; and trust is not a significant determinant moderating seeking feedback on the relationship between behaviour and work performance. This study provides pertinent results and description of how this shifting of informal self-learning from the Indonesian perspective, specifically in state universities in Central Java, Indonesia. This is one of few studies to examine the FSB, Competence, motivation trust and on performance.
Null Hypothesis Significance Testing Interpreted and Calibrated by Estimating Probabilities of Sign Errors: A Bayes-Frequentist Continuum

Abstract Hypothesis tests are conducted not only to determine whether a null hypothesis (H0) is true but also to determine the direction or sign of an effect. A simple estimate of the posterior probability of a sign error is PSE = (1 – PH0)p/2 + PH0, depending only on a two-sided p-value and PH0, an estimate of the posterior probability of H0. A convenient option for PH0 is the posterior probability derived from estimating the Bayes factor to be its e p ln lower bound. In that case, PSE depends only on p and an estimate of the prior probability of H0. PSE provides a continuum between significance testing and traditional Bayesian testing. The former effectively assumes the prior probability of H0 is 0, as some statisticians argue. In that case, PSE is equal to a one-sided p-value. (In that sense, PSE is a calibrated p-value.) In traditional Bayesian testing, on the other hand, the prior probability of H0 is at least 50%, which usually brings PSE close to PH0.

Perspectiva de Tiempo Futuro y su relevancia motivacional en distintos contextos educativos

El presente articulo sistematiza e integra los hallazgos de investigaciones desarrolladas en Peru sobre Perspectiva de Tiempo Futuro (PTF) en contextos educativos. La PTF es una variable psicologica motivacional que permite explicar el comportamiento presente partiendo de metas establecidas en el futuro. El concepto demostro solidez teorica-empirica en distintas latitudes. Durante la segunda mitad del siglo XX, Nuttin y Lens (1985) aplicaron el concepto en diversos ambitos, especialmente el educativo. Su propuesta considero la condicion cognitiva y motivacional de la variable reportandose su densidad, extension y nivel de realismo. Se ha trabajado empiricamente con este supuesto hasta la actualidad, pero hace una decada se amplio dicho concepto hacia una propuesta multidimensional conceptualizada como Orientacion Futura (OF) la cual posee tres componentes: motivacional, cognitivo y comportamental (Seginer, 2009). En Peru, desde 1998 se implemento estudios longitudinales y transversales que corroboraron consistentemente que, en adolescentes y jovenes de varias instituciones educativas, la PTF es corta, el nivel de realismo bajo y la aspiracion por ser profesional constante. En los ultimos anos, se ha reorientado la medicion resaltando la multidimensionalidad del concepto. Los recientes hallazgos muestran que la relacion entre el bienestar y el componente motivacional de la OF tiende a ser positiva e intensa en el dominio de carrera profesional de los jovenes evaluados. Es importante desarrollar esta linea de investigacion porque el analisis de la motivacion y OF juvenil brindara la pauta para futuras intervenciones a favor de su optima insercion social y bienestar.
Utilization of Electronic Money

The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of electronic money (E-money) on financial transactions and economic growth in the community. This research used a descriptive longitudinal method by interviewing several users of E-money as the data collection techniques. The result of this research shows that E-money users prefer non-cash transactions, we also got a new fact that the majority of middle- and upper-class people prefer non-cash transactions because it is more effective and efficient in making transactions. From this research, it can be obtained that E-money can be a legitimate payment system that facilitate the upper-middle and lower-middle class. The existence of E-money will help the user, so they do not need to pay directly.
Examining New Product Development Speed and Team Work Quality Relationship: Evidence from Telecom Industry

Although prior research has suggested that team work quality and internal market orientation can affect new product development (NPD) speed in a positive direction, however relatively little research has examined the incremental validity of team work quality to NPD speed after controlling for internal market orientation. To address this theoretical gap in marketing literature, the present study attempts to examine whether the dimensions of team work quality account for incremental variance in NPD speed, after controlling for the dimensions of internal market orientation. Â Using a random sampling, a total of 149 members of NPD teams in Saudi telecommunications firms responded to measures of each construct. Â Hierarchical multiple regression analysis was performed to access the incremental validity. Overall results suggest that cohesion accounted for a significant amount of variance relative to coordination, balance of member contribution, efforts, communication, mutual support and other dimensions of internal market orientation in the prediction of NPD speed.
COMPETITION IN MICROFINANCE INSTITUTION: A LITERATURE REVIEW

This research aims to investigate competition in Microfinance Institution (MFI). MFI is an institution that serves unbankable people through increasing access to finance. Though it faces a challenging situation, many organizations interested in investing in MFI, this condition builds a competitive situation among MFI. Meanwhile, MFI offers diversified products to increase their revenue because they are facing a more intense situation. This research uses a literature survey to find out a journey regarding competition in MFI.
Phase transition in magnetic ultra-thin films

In this paper, we study influence of surface anisotropy on the phase transition in antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic ultra-thin films by using functional integral method. Besides, spin fluctuations are also given to illustrate for these phase transitions. We find that the phase transition temperature of the ultra-thin films may be higher or lower than the phase transition temperature of the corresponding bulk systems, which depends on the surface anisotropy. Moreover, we also determine crossover points at which the phase transition temperature is not influenced by the thickness of the thin film.
Observations and modelling of ground temperature evolution in the discontinuous permafrost zone in Nadym, north‐west Siberia

We analyze ground temperatures measured daily at depths of 0–10 m in the Nadym region, north‐west Siberia (65°18′N, 72°6′E). Nadym is located within the discontinuous permafrost zone and the forest–tundra transition subzone, thus representing an area threatened by permafrost thawing. Soil comprises a 0.4–1.0‐m‐thick topmost layer of peat with high porosity (~0.9), underlain by layers of mineral soil (sand, clay, loam) with lower porosities of 0.3–0.4. With a numerical heat transfer model, we provide predictions of general permafrost development for the next 300 years. Furthermore, we apply the model with the same time frame, to predict permafrost evolution in two monitoring boreholes (BH) in the Nadym area, BH 1‐09 and 3‐09 with present (2012–2016) temperatures at the top of the permafrost (TTOP) of −2.0 and 0.0 °C, respectively. Applying a mild warming trend (0.02 °C/yr in mean annual air temperature [MAAT], corresponding to the IPCC representative concentration pathway trend RCP 2.6) does not lead to thawing of permafrost during the applied 300 years of simulation time in BH 1‐09, whereas in BH 3‐09 thawing has already begun. Applying a strong warming trend of 0.05 °C/yr in MAAT (corresponding to RCP 8.5) leads to gradual thawing of permafrost in both boreholes.
