Toward a theory of social justice practice for higher education administrators
Creators: name: English, Lisa R.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2016

description: Social justice is a significant core value in higher education and foundational to practices designed to remove barriers to collegiate study and prepare students to function in a more diverse society. Higher education administrators are responsible for facilitating democratic access to education, yet the implementation of social justice practice to provide this opportunity of knowledge is traditionally left to the idiosyncratic experience of individuals. University mission statements often present social justice aspirations in theoretical terms (Hytten & Bettez, 2011), which make consistent implementation of social justice practices problematic without a research-based model of best practices. Existing research on social justice in the higher education realm focuses primarily on K-12 teacher development programs (Bondy, Hambacher, Murphy, Wolkenhauser & Krell, 2015) and no research results are posted in the What Works Clearing House (Institute of Education Sciences, 2015) to address social justice practice within post-secondary education. This qualitative study collected data to provide a knowledge base for higher education administrators of how social justice practice was interpreted and executed in various university settings. The purpose of this study is to inform the development of a holistic model of practice standards necessary to meet the present-day demands (Northern State memo, 2015) of administrators charged with delivering a university’s social justice mission.

The role of the teacher in gifted education nomination decisions

Year: 2016

description: Teacher nominations are the most commonly used method for identifying students for full consideration to gifted education programs in the United States yet teachers receive little to no pre- or in-service training in the practice. Without changes to this reality, teachers’ nominations are less reliable than other data sources because they are based on incomplete knowledge or misunderstandings of the characteristics of giftedness. In addition, when teachers have a great deal of autonomy in making nominations to gifted programs, their beliefs and biases can determine whether students have the opportunity to participate in such programs, regardless of the students’ qualifications. This contributes to the persistent underrepresentation of students from culturally and linguistically diverse groups in gifted programs. The purpose of this qualitative case study was to explore the decision-making processes used by teachers when nominating students for one district’s gifted education program. Survey, observation, and interview data were collected from 20 fifth and sixth grade teachers in a suburban intermediate school in New Jersey. The following research questions guided my study: (1) how do teachers make decisions about which students to nominate for gifted education programs? (1A) how do teachers define giftedness? (1B) how do teachers come to their understanding of giftedness? (2) How might the teacher nomination process affect access to the gifted education program? Three main findings emerged from the analysis of the data: (1) definitions of giftedness varied among teachers; (2) personal and professional experiences drove the decision-making process; and (3) decisions lacked unity because some teachers were left out of the process altogether and others felt disconnected from its purpose. The implications of these findings are considered on the local and national levels with appropriate recommendations and suggestions for practice and policy. Administrators and teachers should seek opportunities for professional development specific to the local district’s nomination expectations. Additionally, districts should consider alternative pathways into the gifted identification process including parent nominations and general screening of all students. Finally, there is a need for gifted education to gain status in federal education policy discussions and grant opportunities so that local districts have support for their efforts.

description: There is a long history of efforts to improve the number of underrepresented students in higher education, including those in the various health profession fields. In particular, given the changing demographics in the United States, there has been an increase in the number of initiatives to provide access, scholarships, and funding to underrepresented students in high school and college pipeline programs leading to health care careers.  This qualitative study focuses on the Biomedical Careers Program (BCP), an intervention created to help increase access of minority student populations into the health professions at the Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School (RWJMS). It examines student perspectives in the form of interview data, to determine how BCP effects the preparation of underrepresented students for medical school.  The purpose of this study is to provide participants of BCP with a voice and utilize those real stories to inform existing and future programs with similar goals.  Evidence demonstrated four main findings on how BCP prepares underrepresented students for medical professions via the transmission of cultural and social capital: 1) informal mentorship and guidance, 2) social learning through clinical exposure, 3) academic study, and 4) social interaction.  This study also reveals implications for practice, not only for other institutions and professionals who work with pipeline programs, but also recommendations for improvement within BCP.

description: Asian Pacific Islander college students are a growing and emerging population on college campuses in the United States (Accapadi, 2012). South Asian college students have often been categorized as part of the Asian Pacific Islander community and due to their model minority status have often been overlooked in research. Involvement is an important part of the college experience and has shown to increase retention and engagement on campus (Astin, 1984; Lundberg, et al., 2007). The purpose of this research study was to examine whether the ethnic identity of South Asian college students affects their choice of engagement and involvement in campus activities. This qualitative study examined the experiences of South Asian college students and their involvement at a large public research university in the Northeast. The implications of the study focused on the themes of family influence, ethnic identity, childhood involvement and career choice. In discussing the theme of family influence, there are three areas discussed: collective interdependence, fear of disappointment and respect for family, and involvement choices.  The theme of ethnic identity there are discussions related to terminology, culturally based organizations and the idea of tokenism and model minority.  The purpose of this study was to study the involvement practices of South Asian students and develop knowledge and themes to inform the practices of student affairs professions to more fully involve this emerging population of students.

What do the children have to say?

description: Divorce has serious implications for a child’s social and emotional development (Pedro-Carroll, 2005). Few of the child-focused interventions that have been developed to address the negative effects of divorce have been extensively evaluated to validate their positive outcomes. One school-based preventive program that has undergone in-depth evaluations with multiple treatment and control groups to document its efficacy among children of different backgrounds is the Children of Divorce Intervention Program (CODIP) (Pedro-Carroll, 2005). While many studies have documented the durability and generalizability of its positive outcomes, there is insufficient qualitative research exploring children’s perceptions of the program. In particular, Pedro-Carroll, one of the program’s developers, has identified a need to explore the active mediating aspects of the program, and the impact of age on children’s perceptions of  CODIP. Therefore, through a process evaluation study, involving approximately forty children of divorce who attend two elementary schools in a public school district in New Jersey, this study investigated children’s perceptions of CODIP. The following research questions guided my study: (1) how do students describe their experiences in CODIP? (2) in what ways have students benefited from their involvement in CODIP? (3) which components of CODIP contributed to students’ positive outcomes? (4) which features of the program did students like the most/least? (5) how did participants’ perceptions of the program vary across developmental age groups? My data analysis revealed three main findings: (1) children benefited by learning how to express their feelings, solve divorce-related problems, and be part of a peer support system; (2) the positive group dynamics, strong relationships with facilitators, and experiential aspects of the program contributed to these benefits; and (3) participants offered constructive feedback about environmental conditions and their desire for more hands-on activities. The implications of these findings are considered for program developers and school counselors, and recommendations for modifications to the program and considerations for implementation are offered. While further research needs to be conducted to assess the generalizability of these outcomes, my study gives a voice to CODIP participants, as well as provides a foundation for the potential active mediating elements that account for the program’s success.

description: The introduction of new curriculum poses a range of challenges for both new and experienced teachers. To overcome these challenges teachers need appropriate trainings and support. Research shows that communities of practice (COP) are valuable for teacher development and correlated to good teaching.  COPs can be difficult to create because teachers are pre-conditioned to work in isolation. The purpose of this qualitative study was to consider how the COP model, at the state level, used the expertise of both new and experienced teachers. In addition to supporting experienced teachers in transitioning to problem-based learning (PBL), this could be an effective method of bringing new teachers into the profession. The study was conducted with high school and middle school science teachers from across New Jersey. The following research questions guided the research study: (1) What takes place in a community of practice focused on developing problem-based learning? (2) What are participants’ perceptions of the value of the statewide community of practice? These research questions were addressed by using feedback forms, informal conversations, a focus group, observations and collecting documents, from twelve participants (myself included) over four months. After reading the data multiple times, coding, and identifying patterns and themes, interpretations were made. Findings showed the importance and particularities of my leadership in structuring and facilitating the meetings to meet the teachers’ needs and that novice teachers worked alongside of experienced teachers to contribute to the collective knowledge of the group. The teachers reported positive experiences during the COP and they appreciated the support provided by like-minded peers. The overall findings of this study also support that from the teachers’ perspectives, a statewide community of practice promotes and sustains ongoing professional growth. Three claims were made when discussing findings: 1) this is a new type of community of practice with unique teacher leadership and willing participants; 2) teachers should have a voice and choice in selecting their own learning communities, and 3) it is possible to create conditions in which novice teachers are full and active participants from the beginning. Practical recommendations and suggestions for future research are presented.

description: Research supports the claim that as adolescents grow older, they tend to read less and spend more time engaged with technology and social media. One tool that can be incorporated into the classroom to combine student learning with technology and social media is blogging. The purpose of my qualitative case study was to observe how students interacted with each other when responding to Toni Morrison’s novel The Bluest Eye through the use of a multimedia blog. My research explored the following research question and sub-questions: How do students interact with each other when responding to Toni Morrison’s novel The Bluest Eye through the use of a multimedia blog? (A) How are students interacting with each other through their online postings? (B) How do students’ postings reflect the ways in which they are/are not making sense of The Bluest Eye? (C) If students do incorporate multimedia into their postings, why are they choosing to do so? The research questions were grounded in Vygotsky’s social constructivism theory (1978) and Gavelek and Raphael’s Vygotsky Space (1998). I interviewed 13 students and collected and analyzed students’ blogs, written responses, and reflections. Using the qualitative software program Dedoose, and constant comparative methods, I analyzed data to identify common themes. Once themes were solidified, I aligned each theme with my research questions. Three findings were discussed: 1) students interacted online by creating an online community of learners where they could ask questions, engage in conversations, and challenge each other’s ideas; 2) blogs were supportive tools in helping the students make sense of the novel; and 3) the students were divided on using multimedia, but the ones who did use multimedia explained that it was for entertainment and to add a touch of humor to the assignment. Practical recommendations and suggestions for future practice and research are presented.

Behavior of concrete bridge decks under combined shrinkage thermal and live loading
Creators: name: Adediji, Anuoluwa
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2016

description: Designers have consistently been concerned with long term deformation of bridges to mitigate unfavorable effects such as excessive movement and cracking. Furthermore, any developed tool of use to a designer must make use of parameters known at the time of design as well as be simplistic in nature as defined in the code. As such, many prediction models for the free shrinkage of a concrete specimen have been developed toward this end.  However, structures designed and placed in the field experience shrinkage under restraint. Also, the differences in environmental conditions affect the shrinkage of structures. It is important to understand the restrained shrinkage of structures under field conditions and use this understanding to make improved guidelines on shrinkage from a design standpoint.  In this study, the prediction and modelling of the free shrinkage of small samples under constant conditions were expanded to the prediction and modelling of restrained shrinkage under field conditions of large samples using finite element analysis. A parametric analysis was then performed to derive useful information from a design perspective such as the impact of various design parameters on the performance of a bridge deck. The findings indicated that the use of reinforcement is the preferable method of addressing shrinkage in bridge decks. Furthermore, the efficacy of the amount of reinforcement specified in the AASHTO guidelines to mitigate excessive cracking in bridge decks was discussed. The traditional and empirical methods of bridge deck design were investigated for shrinkage reinforcement. Finally, recommendations were suggested to the reinforcement requirements based on the findings of this study.

description: This study was conducted to optimize the calcimetry method (CM) and back titration method (BTM) for determination of calcium carbonate equivalent (CCE) in calcareous soils. For this purpose, 12 soil samples with wide CCE ranges and various physiochemical properties were selected to investigate the effect of contact time, sample preparation, soil-to-HCl ratio, heating, and HCl concentration on CCE measured by CM and BTM. Afterward, the optimized methods were compared by analysis of 100 calcareous soil samples. Results showed that the sample preparation is a key parameter affecting CCE determination, and the complete crushing of the sample without sieving led to the best results. Improper soil-to-hydrochloric acid (HCl) ratio led to overestimation of CCE. The kinetic experiment results revealed that the CCE dissolution in HCl was fast, and equilibrium was established in less than 5 minutes. The optimized BTM involved weighing 1–10 g of ground soil (depending on CCE content), adding 20 mL of 1 N HCl, heating for 5 minutes on a hotplate, and titrating by 1 N NaOH in the presence of phenolphthalein. The optimized CM involved weighing 1–5 g ground soil and adding 7 mL of 4 N HCl with a contact time of 5 minutes. The BTM and CM were highly correlated (r = 0.991) in the determination of CCE in a wide range of calcareous soils (100 soil samples), and the relevant regression equation can be employed as a transfer function to convert the BTM to CM results.

description: The design and analysis of methods in signal processing is greatly impacted by the model being selected to represent the signals of interest. For many decades, the most popular geometric models in signal processing have been the subspace and the union-of-subspaces signal models. However, there are classes of signals that are not well-represented by either the subspace or the union-of-subspaces model, but are manifested in a low-dimensional non-linear manifold embedded in a high-dimensional ambient space. Though a lot of work has been done on low-dimensional embedding of manifold sampled data, few works address the problem of approximating the manifold geometry in the ambient space. There is value in capturing the geometric variations of a non-linear manifold in the ambient space, as shown in this work.    In this work, the local linearity of a manifold is exploited to address the problem of approximating the geometric structure of a non-linear non-intersecting manifold using a union of tangent planes (affine subspaces). The number of approximating tangent planes adapts with the varying manifold curvature such that the manifold geometry is always well approximated within a given accuracy. Also, the local linearity of the manifold is exploited to subsample the manifold data before using it to learn the manifold geometry, with negligible loss of approximation accuracy. Owing to this subsampling feature, the proposed approach shows more than a $100$-times decrease in the learning time when compared to state-of-the-art manifold learning algorithms, while achieving similar approximation accuracy.    Because the approximating tangent planes extend indefinitely in space, the data encoding problem becomes complicated in the aforementioned learning approach. Thus, in the second half of the thesis, the manifold approximation problem is reformulated such that the geometry is approximated using a union of tangent patches, instead of tangent planes. Then, the data encoding problem is formulated as a series of convex optimization problems, and an efficient solution is proposed to solve each of the convex problems. Last, the value of capturing manifold geometry is demonstrated by showing the denoising performance of our proposed framework on both synthetic and real data.

description: Available water capacity (AWC), field capacity (θFC), and permanent wilting point (θPWP) are regarded as key physical soil health indicators that directly capture the soil’s capacity to store plant available water but are expensive components of a comprehensive soil health analysis. To reduce costs, pedotransfer functions for θFC, θPWP, and AWC were developed from a dataset of 7,232 soil samples with texture, soil organic matter (SOM), permanganate-oxidizable carbon, soil respiration, AWC, θFC, θPWP, wet aggregate stability, and extractable potassium, magnesium, iron, and manganese. Three functions were developed for each property: a full random forest (RF) model containing all variables, a reduced RF model and a multiple linear regression model containing texture and SOM. Pedotransfer functions were validated with an independent dataset that contained 1,406 samples. The full RF models for θFC, θPWP, and AWC reduced the root mean square error (RMSE) by 16.3, 13.3, and 12.8%, compared to multiple linear regression models, respectively. Furthermore, the full RF models for θFC, θPWP, and AWC reduced RMSE by 11.6, 6.7, and 12.8%, compared to the reduced RF model, respectively. Permanganate-oxidizable carbon, wet aggregate stability, and extractable magnesium, potassium, and iron were useful novel predictor variables for improving prediction of θFC and AWC. AWC was sensitive in 20/57 long-term experiments, and full RF models were able to replicate 5/20 of those significant results. New RF pedotransfer functions for θFC, θPWP, and AWC can enhance prediction compared to traditional modeling techniques, fits into existing interpretative frameworks, and improves cost-effectiveness of comprehensive assessments of soil health.

description: The narratives deployed by the political elites and the opposition groups in Syria and Bahrain has undergone a process of evolution since the onset of the Arab Spring. The examination of the cases of Syria and Bahrain is useful from a methodological perspective, since it enables us to determining the nuances that come about from the manner in which the Arab Spring unfolded in the region. This dissertation attempts to unite a diverse range of elements to present a comprehensive analysis of the nature of revolutionary consciousness, the nature of Arab transnational collective action movements in an era of globalization, and the mechanisms governing the evolutions of protest rhetoric. This dissertation draws attention to the particular ways in which language and rhetoric are used on both sides of the struggle and the ways in which rhetoric changes in response to the expectation of an international audience.

description: Distracted driving is at the forefront of the leading causes of road accidents. Therefore, research advancements in Driver Monitoring Systems (DMS) are vital in facilitating prevention techniques. These systems must be able to detect anomalous driving behavior by evaluating deviations from some predefined normal driving behavior. This thesis proposes an improved contrastive learning approach that introduces a hybrid loss function combining triplet loss and supervised contrastive loss, as well as improvements to the projection head of the framework. It progresses the architecture by performing a multi-threshold severity calculation and data processing using an exponential moving average technique. Due to the unbounded possibilities of anomalous driving behaviors, the proposed framework was tested on the Driver Anomaly Detection (DAD) dataset that incorporates multi-modal and multi-view inputs in an open set recognition setting. The test set of the DAD dataset has anomalous actions that are unseen by the trained model; therefore, high precision on such a dataset demonstrates success on any other closed-set recognition task. The proposed framework achieved an impressive accuracy, reaching 94.14\%, AUC-ROC at 0.9787, and AUC-PR at 0.9781 on the test set. These findings contribute to in-vehicle monitoring by providing a scalable and adaptable framework suitable for real-world conditions.

Comparison of metabolic and characteristic features of primary hyperparathyroidism patients with different intact PTH levels

description: This study is to compare primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) patients with different iPTH levels for serum calcium and other laboratory values. In this retrospective study, 212 patients who presented at Robert Wood Johnson Hospital were assessed for metabolic and characteristic features of PHPT. Patients were divided into two groups according to their serum intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) levels. Student t- tests were used to compare the two groups for differences in age, body mass index (BMI), adenoma weight, and laboratory test values which included serum calcium, iPTH, 25OHD, lipid panel, serum creatinine, ALP, and 24 hr. urinary calcium. Pearson`s correlation coefficient was used to assess the relationship. Of the 212 PHPT patients, 100 (17 males and 83 females) were classified as m-iPTH group (iPTH below 140 pg/ml), whereas 112 patients (25 males and 87 females) were classified as h-iPTH group (iPTH above 140 pg/ml). Higher-iPTH patients are younger than m-iPTH patients. No statistic significant differences in BMI, T-cholesterol and TG were found between the m-iPTH and h-iPTH groups. Higher- iPTH patients compared with m- iPTH, had slightly but significantly higher calcium, lower 25OHD, lower HDL, higher ALP, and very close to have higher adenoma weight. Additionally, we found iPTH was positive correlated with serum calcium, adenoma weight, and triglyceride (TG) levels, and negatively correlated with HDL and 25OHD. Intact PTH did not correlate with BMI and T- cholesterol levels. Furthermore, 24 hr. urinary calcium and serum ALP were positively associated with iPTH levels but not significantly (P = 0.08, P = 0.09) respectively. These correlations were independent of serum calcium and 25OHD levels except TG was dependent of reduced 25OHD, while serum ALP was dependent of calcium levels. These findings from our analysis consistent with previous studies suggesting iPTH levels correlated metabolic syndrome. Additionally, our results suggest that h- iPTH patients tend to be younger ones, with lower HDL, lower 25OHD, and higher ALP. While the underline mechanisms for these changes are unclear, we speculate that the elevated iPTH levels might decrease HDL directly or indirectly through increasing insulin resistance by weight gain, and increases ALP through PTH receptors on osteoblasts. This study supported our hypothesis that iPTH levels are an important factor to contribute in the management of PHPT patients. Intact PTH levels, lipid panel, 25OHD, ALP in addition to calcium levels might also need to be considered in the therapeutic decision for PHPT patients.
