New Jersey

description: Many academic librarians in the state of New Jersey (USA) have successfully integrated information literacy (IL) into the curriculum using the ACRL Information Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education. These standards have formed the underpinnings of IL curriculum mapping and assessment plans. They have also been adopted by administrators in higher education institutions across the state. In light of the new ACRL Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education, the presenters seek to find out how these NJ institutions are embracing the opportunities presented by the challenge of looking at information literacy through the new lens provided by the frames. How are coordinators of information literacy gaining buy-in from fellow librarians, faculty, and administrators? What existing academic programs already easily lend themselves to the framework? Are certain academic programs better supported by the Framework than the Standards? What strategies are needed to successfully align frames to current IL programs, learning outcomes, and assessment plans? Are institutions leaning toward a hybrid model of the standards alongside the frames or creating new localized learning outcomes as recommended? This presentation will describe and discuss the results of a statewide survey of coordinators of information literacy instruction in New Jersey. It will highlight challenges, opportunities, and new approaches to integration of IL as well as new considerations on how the frames influence assessment of student learning. It will also focus on areas such as gaining buy-in from relevant campus partners as well as library colleagues and library administration.
Occupational segregation and the gender wage gap in a dynamic East Asian economy

Asia

description: Labor markets in the East Asian “miracle” economies have undergone profound changes in recent decades as their comparative advantage in low-wage labor diminished and jobs shifted toward higher-skill manufacturing and services. This study uses an occupational decomposition technique to examine how such shifts in East Asia's occupational structures have affected trends in their gender wage gaps. The wage gap is decomposed into across-occupation and within-occupation factors that are each further separated into wage and employment components. Results based on a comprehensive labor force data set for Taiwan show that within-occupation pay discrepancies account for the bulk of gender wage inequity.

description: Our American society is an implausible reality. E pluribus unum may be written on our money, but it takes more than a slogan to unify 235 million individuals: adolescents and adults, men and women, whites and blacks, city dwellers and farmers, radicals and conservatives, egocentrics and altruists. Why don't the chronic disagreements in Congress, in the press, in families, in schools, in the economy prevent even a precarious unity?
Managing overlap of primary study results across systematic reviews: practical considerations for authors of overviews of reviews
Creators: name: Lunny, Carole

name: Thabet, Pierre
name: Kanji, Salmaan
Publisher: name: BioMed Central
Year: 2021

description: Background Overviews often identify and synthesise a large number of systematic reviews on the same topic, which is likely to lead to overlap (i.e. duplication) in primary studies across the reviews. Using a primary study result multiple times in the same analysis overstates its sample size and number of events, falsely leading to greater precision in the analysis. This paper aims to: (a) describe types of overlapping data that arise from the same primary studies reported across multiple reviews, (b) describe methods to identify and explain overlap of primary study data, and (c) present six case studies illustrating different approaches to manage overlap. Methods We first updated the search in PubMed for methods from the MOoR framework relating to overlap of primary studies. One author screened the studies titles and abstracts, and any full-text articles retrieved, extracted methods data relating to overlap of primary studies and mapped it to the overlap methods from the MOoR framework. We also describe six case studies as examples of overviews that use specific overlap methods across the steps in the conduct of an overview. For each case study, we discuss potential methodological implications in terms of limitations, efficiency, usability, and resource use. Results Nine methods studies were found and mapped to the methods identified by the MOoR framework to address overlap. Overlap methods were mapped across four steps in the conduct of an overview – the eligibility criteria step, the data extraction step, the assessment of risk of bias step, and the synthesis step. Our overview case studies used multiple methods to reduce overlap at different steps in the conduct of an overview. Conclusions Our study underlines that there is currently no standard methodological approach to deal with overlap in primary studies across reviews. The level of complexity when dealing with overlap can vary depending on the yield, trends and patterns of the included literature and the scope of the overview question. Choosing a method might be dependent on the number of included reviews and their primary studies. Gaps in evaluation of methods to address overlap were found and further investigation in this area is needed.

description: Experts frequently advise communicators to acknowledge or even “proclaim” uncertainty when talking about risk. Using an experimental design involving a sequence of fictional newspaper articles, we examine the role that expressions of uncertainty can play in public response to a foodborne illness outbreak resulting from what is revealed to be intentional contamination of ground beef. The study was designed to understand the effects of different types of expression of uncertainty, whether these effects change over time, whether the topic of uncertainty matters, and whether it matters if the communicator is ultimately correct or incorrect. Data were collected from 1,924 participants from an internet panel (65.3% completion rate). The study had a full factorial design: 3 (Expression of uncertainty about the food involved) X 2 (Correctness about the food involved) X 2 (Expression of uncertainty about intentionality) X 2 (Correctness about intentionality). After each of three sequential messages, participants rated their understanding of the scenarios, the competence and honesty of the investigators, and the seriousness of the incident. ANOVAs indicate that expressing certainty during an investigation may increase perceptions of competence and honesty of investigators, and increase audience perceptions that they understand the situation (ps <.001). However, repeatedly expressing certainty eroded perceived competence over time. As expected, expressing uncertainty helped to mitigate the negative effects of being wrong about the details of an outbreak. However, there was only a significant interaction effect for expressing uncertainty and correctness about the intentionality of the foodborne illness outbreak, and no interaction with correctness about the food involved. Overall, these results indicate that looking at expressions of uncertainty at only one point does not provide a full picture of how messages of uncertainty risk will be received over the course of an outbreak.

title: Doing food security in practice: seeds, seed banking and preparations for the future
Creators: name: Zanetti, Oliver
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2014

description: This thesis is about the banking of the seeds of food plants. It considers the practices and politics of that banking in order to understand its contribution to future food security scenarios. The thesis expands upon existing literature to provide new analytical and empirical insights into the preservation of biological materials. It does so by examining how practices undertaken in seed bank settings function to make seeds into materials of use to food security practitioners; an outcome which is achieved by the incorporation of banked seed into the framework of plant genetic resources. The thesis also contributes to knowledge on food security, by examining the function of those plant genetic resources within the food security milieu. First, the temporalities engendered by seed banking are analysed. Here, it is argued that seed banking assists in enhancing food security by acting as a mechanism which folds the plant genetic resource materials of the past and future together through work undertaken in the present. Second, the material politics of plant genetic resource preservation in a food security setting are explored, and a case is made for a framework by which seed may be banked "well"; a framework which is hinged on seed materiality. Overall, the thesis makes two key claims. First, that food security should not be regarded as a state that can be reached, but rather as an ongoing process of strengthening the food system as a whole. Second, that seeds must be regarded as materials with agency in seed banking practice, agency which impacts upon the practice of seed banking itself and on the wider political setting of that practice.

description: Parenting poses a unique set of opportunities and challenges for both mothers who work for pay and for those who stay at home across the United States today. Specific types of "work-family" mothers' groups have thus emerged as a way for these parents to provide support, information, and advocacy to one another in friendly communities. This study analyzes the boundary work undertaken by one national Christian mothers' group, Mothers of Preschoolers (MOPS), to maximize its membership base and distinguish it from other work-family mothers' organizations. In this article, I first probe how MOPS engages in a particular presentation of self that I call "open evangelism" to market its organization. Open evangelism combines both an open (nonreligious) and evangelical philosophy to appeal to a diversity of mothers across the country. I then use data collected from 25 in-depth interviews with MOPS members in 2009 in order to assess if and how this open evangelism is, in fact, experienced by members at the chapter level. I find that both open and evangelical themes emerge when members describe the benefits that they receive from joining the group and the challenges presented by parenthood, thereby suggesting that MOPS is successful in its self-presentation. I conclude with MOPS' prospects for survival and growth in the competitive world of both religious and nonreligious mothers' organizations.
A Theme Analysis of Experiences Reported by Adult Children of Alcoholics in Online Support Forums

description: Growing up with an alcoholic parent can have a lasting effect on children and contribute to a variety of challenging outcomes in adulthood. This study identified the various experiences that adult children of alcoholics discuss with their peers in online support groups. Trained coders conducted a thematic analysis of 504 message board posts collected over a period of 60 days from three different online support groups to identify issues that children of alcoholics face in adulthood. Seven themes emerged from the analysis: a) empowerment through support, b) interference of parent in adulthood, c) connection to inner child and need to re-parent, d) low self-esteem and insecurity, e) anger and resentment, f) romantic relationship problems, and g) problems communicating. The results of this study provide insight into the issues that adult children of alcoholics need to address as part of their own recovery and suggest avenues of exploration for practitioners who work with high risk families.

description: This study advances research on strategic human resource management by examining the importance of alignment between an organization’s HR system and innovation strategy in achieving superior performance. We argue that alternative innovation strategies require different forms of knowledge behaviors from core knowledge workers to deal with the unique knowledge problems underlying exploration versus exploitation innovation strategies. Further, we argue that companies make distinct choices in terms of their HR strategies for managing core knowledge workers, and these alternative HR systems theoretically produce different employee ability, motivation, and opportunity outcomes which support different knowledge search and combination behaviors. We demonstrate, in a field study of 230 software firms, that alternative HR systems support either an exploration or exploitation strategy, and the alignment or misalignment between a firm’s HR system and strategy results in firm performance gains or penalties, respectively.

description: This introduction to the special issue describes hidden organizations, offers several reasons for the lack of research on these collectives, and explains how this collection of articles helps move us forward in efforts to empirically study hidden organizations. After providing background information on the history of this special issue, the five articles published here are described in terms of the type of collective examined, the theories and methods used, and the key research questions addressed. Three observations about the published pieces are made: being hidden requires communicative effort; hiddenness is usefully understood in terms of identity management; and any discussion of hidden organizations raises ethical considerations. The piece closes with acknowledgements and a call for continued conceptual/theoretical and empirical research into hidden organizations.

description: Since the late 1950s, the engineering job market in the United States has been fraught with fears of a shortage of engineering skill and talent. U.S. Engineering in a Global Economy brings clarity to issues of supply and demand in this important market. Following a general overview of engineering-labor market trends, the volume examines the educational pathways of undergraduate engineers and their entry into the labor market, the impact of engineers working in firms on productivity and innovation, and different dimensions of the changing engineering labor market, from licensing to changes in demand and guest worker programs. The volume provides insights on engineering education, practice, and careers that can inform educational institutions, funding agencies, and policy makers about the challenges facing the United States in developing its engineering workforce in the global economy.
Understanding preferences for bicycling and bicycle infrastructure

description: Using survey data collected in New Jersey, we analyze the frequency of bicycling and respondent perceptions of the safety of various bicycling facilities. Data was collected via a mixed-mode survey design, including intercepts, bicycle hangers, flyers in bicycle shops, and a Facebook advertisement targeted towards bicyclists in New Jersey (N=1937). This provided us with a reasonable sample of respondents that included bicycle commuters and non-cyclists. Data on cycling frequency was collected for recreational and commute trips. Respondents ranked the relative safety of images of bicycle facilities, ranging from cycling on-street to off-road trails. We also collected attitudinal data on risk perceptions and world views linked to political perspectives. Our analysis suggested that feeling safer with on-street bicycle lanes and off-street bicycle paths is not associated with the frequency of bicycling, while feeling safer on-street in traffic is associated with the frequency of bicycling. In analyzing correlates associated with our images of bicycling infrastructure, we found those with more liberal/egalitarian world views prefer on-street bicycle lanes and off-street bicycle paths, while those with traditional community world views tend to not feel safe with on-street bicycle lanes and bicycling in traffic. Those who are risk takers also feel safer bicycling in traffic. Most other demographic controls in our models give us the expected results. Policy implications suggest that bicycle infrastructure will be less controversial when world views are more liberal/egalitarian, but that making all streets safer might be a useful approach for increasing the frequency of bicycling.

description: This research explores the effectiveness of three teacher professional development (TPD) approaches in the context of Afghanistan: 2-year in-service teacher education; short-term (ad-hoc) teacher training; and teacher learning circles (TLC). In this research, I compare these three models, their impact on improving teacher quality and subsequently student outcome. I applied the mix-methods approach by using three different research tools: classroom observations, self-administered questionnaires, and semi-structured interviews. I also reviewed student performance records over four semesters; from 2010 to 2011. Despite many challenges, the results show three core strengths of each of these models: the 2-year in-service teacher education improves teachers’ subject knowledge; the short-term training (focusing on specific subjects, grades, and groups of teachers) increases teachers’ pedagogic skills; and TLCs provide teachers with ongoing learning opportunities inside their schools through which teachers find help to address their day-to-day classroom needs. The findings suggest TLCs to be embedded in the school and teacher education (in-service program) structure; teachers to be provided with short-term professional development trainings focused on specific groups of teachers, as well as to conduct continuous teacher evaluation based on teachers’ performance and their students’ achievements. The overall result of this research challenges the underlying assumptions of the Ministry of Education (MOE) related to teacher change. It also critiques the approaches so far undertaken by the MOE for improving teacher quality in the country.
Nearly Optimal Semi-Supervised Learning on Subgraphs

description: The harmonic solution (HS) on a graph is one of the most popular approaches to semi-supervised learning. This is the first paper that studies how to identify highly confident HS predictions on a graph based on the HS on its subgraph. The premise of our method is that the subgraph is much smaller than the graph and therefore the most confident predictions can be identified much faster than computing the HS on the graph. We introduce a class of subgraphs that allow for good approximations, prove bounds on the difference in the HS on the graph and its subgraph, and propose an efficient approach to building the subgraphs. Our solution is evaluated in the domains of handwritten digit recognition, and topic discovery in restaurant and hotel reviews. In all cases, we show that only a small portion of the graph is sufficient to identify highly confident predictions.

description: Two COVID-19 vaccines that have been shown to be about 95% effective are now available. However, surveys have shown that many people are reluctant to get vaccinated (30% in May 2020 study conducted by Reiter, Pennell, & Katz, 2020). Recent research suggests that there are several reasons for COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy. Several of these have to do with specific misunderstandings, including:
1) How the vaccine works
2) The potential side effects of the vaccine
3) Sufficiency of testing
4) What 95% effectiveness means

Previous research suggests that simple explanations of complex issues such as climate change can increase understanding if they are designed to target known misunderstandings. These same explanations were shown to change peoples’ attitudes toward the efficacy of strategies to combat climate change. If the same principles operate in the context of COVID19, carefully designed explanations may dispel misunderstandings as well as encourage more people to get vaccinated.

This study provides an explanation that addresses the misunderstanding concerning the sufficiency of testing of the COVID-19 vaccine. The sufficiency of testing explanations are focused on people’s mental models or understanding of the sufficiency of testing. We focus here on issues related to of the vaccine itself, in particular mRNA vaccines, rather than the effects of COVID (some do not believe the disease is sufficiently dangerous to take any risks to protect against it). We do not address conspiracy theories.

“The rule of law, human rights and an ‘Emergency’: has the Irish State struck the correct balance?”
Creators: name: J Carmody, Michael
Publisher: name: University of Limerick
Year: 2025
Subjects: classificationCode: 48
subject: Law and legal studies

description: Human rights and the rule of law are political ideals which stand in a complex theoretical dynamic with one another. Can the rule of law exist when human rights are infringed? Is the rule of law a pre-requisite for the enjoyment of human rights? The situation is further complicated in the presence of an emergency, when both are threatened and may need to be temporarily suspended for the common good. In light of these normative tensions, this thesis reconceptualises the ideal of the ‘rule of law’ by illustrating the shortcomings of an inflexible rules-based approach, in light of the heightened adaptability of a human-rights based framework. It then explores the contours and parameters of what constitutes a legal state of emergency, and how such a situation can be successfully surmounted.Since the foundation of the Irish State, the rule of law has been challenged by, at least, three distinct crises. First, through the seemingly ubiquitous subversive threat posed by the Irish Republican Army (IRA), and the transient dissident threat emanating from other political or quasi-political organisations such as ‘the Blueshirts’ and the Irish National Liberation Army (INLA). Secondly, through the health emergency generated by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Thirdly, through the precarious economic situation precipitated by the financial crash of 2008. Although most states have had to contend with subversive organisations at some point within their history, the precise minutiae of the first mentioned situation have largely been unique to Ireland. The Covid-19 pandemic was a global phenomenon which impacted every state on the planet, while the financial crash of 2008-2010 was a common experience, with subtle differences, across a significant number of developed states. This thesis identifies common threads between the three legal emergencies, and measures the success of the Irish State in combating each threat, whilst simultaneously safeguarding the necessary rights-based conception of the rule of law. Through doing so, the research will enrich the theory underpinning the degree to which a state can transiently override the rule of law and human rights to address an emergency, and will inform Irish authorities as to how they can better prepare, on a legal basis, for future emergencies.

description: Background: Adolescents’ quality of life is reported to be significantly associated with physical and social wellbeing. Although adolescents are 30% of the Southern African population, no previous studies have focused on this group in relation to oral health and quality of life. Methods: A 40-item survey and clinical oral examinations were conducted in public schools in Maseru from 10 to 25 August 2016. Simple, bivariate, and multivariate regressions were used to evaluate the associations of oral health and psychosocial factors with self-reported general health status and quality of life. Results: A total of 526 participants, aged 12–19 years old, responded to the survey and participated in the clinical examinations. The majority reported a good (good/very good/excellent) quality of life (84%) and general health (81%). Bivariate results showed that self-reported general health in this population was significantly influenced by age. The presence of toothache and sensitivity in the adolescents were significantly associated with poor (fair/poor) self-reported general health and were found to be the best predictors for self-general health and quality of life. Conclusions: The absence of dental conditions such as toothache and tooth sensitivity can lead to a better perception of general health and Quality of Life in adolescents.

An Efficient Algorithm for Ordering Random Genomic Clones

description: We propose an algorithm which efficiently constructs a physical map of DNA from a fingerprinted library of random clones. The algorithm clusters clones into contiguous regions using restriction enzyme digest data. Clones which contain overlapping genomic regions are detected and are grouped into an island in such a way that disjoint islands which can be linked by the clones are joined together automatically. This approach solves a common problem in fingerprinting { linking disjoint islands becomes more difficult and slow as mapping goes on. A map is produced in O(km2 n) time where k is the number of cleavage sites of a clone, m is the number of clones in a library, and n is the number of libraries. Our approach provides a general and efficient means for constructing long-range physical maps in large-scale genome mapping.

description: This study aimed to address knowledge gaps related to the prevention and management of mental health responses among those with a condition that presents risk of severe COVID-19 infection. A scoping review that mapped English and Chinese-language studies (2019–2020) located in MEDLINE (Ovid), Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), PsycInfo, Sociological Abstracts, Embase, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang Data, and Airiti Library was undertaken. Search terms related to COVID-19, mental health, and physical health were used and articles that included all three of these factors were extracted (n = 77). With the exception of one hospital-based pilot study, there were no intervention studies targeting mental health in those at risk of severe COVID-19 infection. Promising practices such as integrated care models that appropriately screen for mental health issues, address health determinants, and include use of digital resources were highlighted. Patient navigator programs, group online medical visits, peer support, and social prescribing may also support those with complex needs. Future policies need to address digital health access inequities and the implementation of multi-integrated health and social care. Furthermore, research is needed to comprehensively assess multi-integrated interventions that are resilient to public health crises.

description: Protocols like the Direct Access File System (DAFS) leverage user-level memory-mapped communication to enable low overhead access to network-attached storage for applications. DAFS offers significant improvement in application performance using features like direct data transfer and RDMA. Our goal is to build high performance network file servers using DAFS. The benefits of the DAFS protocol can be extended to cluster-based servers, using low overhead user-level communication within the cluster. In this paper, we present Federated DAFS, a scalable and efficient cluster-based direct access file server. Federated DAFS combines an efficient user-space DAFS implementation with a low overhead clustering layer to present a scalable clustering solution for DAFS servers. Federated DAFS uses a portable mechanism for distribution and handling of client requests across the servers in the cluster. Federated DAFS also minimizes the intra-cluster communication by caching data blocks and by matching the file placement on the servers with the distribution of requests from the clients. Our results show that reasonable speedups(2.6 on four nodes and 4.5 on eight nodes) can be achieved using Federated DAFS on server clusters of up to eight nodes.

Shepitko

description: 1938 bei Donezk in der Ukraine geboren, kam Larisa Shepitko im Alter von nur 16 Jahren nach Moskau und studierte an der Filmhochschule in der Klasse der Regielegende Alexander Dovzhenko. Mit ihrem Abschlussfilm «Hitze» (1963) erhielt sie nicht nur den Ruf einer knallharten Filmemacherin mit viel Charme und ansteckender Entschlossenheit, sie gewann auch gleich mehrere Preise. Den endgültigen internationalen Durchbruch schaffte sie auf der Berlinale 1977 mit ihrem Kriegsdrama «Der Aufstieg». Auf dem Höhepunkt ihrer Karriere, auf dem Weg zum nächsten Dreh, verunglückte die 40-jährige Regisseurin bei einem Autounfall tödlich. So ging Shepitko zwar als Ikone des sowjetischen Kinos in die Geschichte ein, blieb aber dennoch relativ unbekannt.

description: Harm reduction is considered by many to be a legitimate alternative to abstinence-based services for dually diagnosed individuals, yet there is limited understanding of how varying approaches affect front-line practice within supportive housing services for homeless adults. This paper examines how front-line providers working with individuals who have experienced homelessness, serious mental illness, and addiction view policies of harm reduction versus abstinence within two distinctly different approaches to homeless services: the traditional or ‘treatment first’ (TF) approach that requires abstinence and the more recent Housing First (HF) approach that incorporates harm reduction. As part of a federally-funded qualitative study, 129 in-depth interviews conducted with 41 providers were thematically analyzed to understand how providers view a harm reduction versus abstinence approach. Themes included: (a) harm reduction as a welcomed alternative; (b) working with ambiguity; and (c) accommodating abstinence. Drawing on recovery principles, we consider the broader implications of the findings for behavioral health care with this population.
