Perpetuating Queer Stigma: Examining the Media’s Coverage of LGBTQ+ Health News
Creators: name: Behm, Scott
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2023

description: This research project used a case study approach to examine the presence of stigma
toward LGBTQ+ people in American news media, specifically focusing on cases related to queer
health. Three cases were chosen for analysis: (1) the 2012 approval of Truvada® as pre-exposure
prophylaxis (PrEP) for HIV by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration; (2) the 2022 mpox
(formerly called monkeypox) outbreak; and (3) the slate of Florida legislation passed in 2023
that restricted rights of transgender and LGBTQ+ people in the state. Articles for each study
were collected from the Nexis Uni database, with additional context in each case provided from
sources in major news outlets. Existing frameworks were used to analyze the presence of stigma,
including the stigma model of communication (R. Smith, 2007) and the othering theory (Logie,
2022). The findings indicate that news media does in fact reinforce stigma toward members of
the queer community, often in subtle ways, and contributes to a narrative of the LGBTQ+
community as victimized, in peril, and as an “othered” minority group that is distinct from the
general American population. Recommendations for content creators to avoid stigma are shared
in the final section of the analysis and include: focusing on accuracy and fact checking to prevent
misinformation; avoiding common tropes that present queer people as being in peril and
responsible for misfortune; reframing news narratives to prevent undue emphasis on cumulative
and collective trauma; and creating empathy instead of pity in audiences by intentionally
humanizing queer people.

description: Unrefined chemical pulps of bleached and unbleached softwood (Scots pine, Pinus sylvestris) and hardwood (Eucalyptus, Eucalyptus globulus) were subjected to indentation tests using a nanoindenter equipped with an AFM scanner. Tests on unbleached pulps revealed no difference in hardness values between softwood and hardwood, but bleaching treatment decreased the hardness values of both pulps. Indentation modulus of 12 GPa was observed for unbleached softwood pulps, which is 25% higher than unbleached hardwood pulps. Bleaching treatment again decreased the indentation modulus of the softwood pulps, whereas it slightly increased the indentation modulus of the hardwood pulps. After bleaching and drying processes, only negligible difference was observed in cell wall mechanical properties (hardness and indentation modulus) between hardwood and softwood pulps. This study is based on latewood pulp fibres.

description: Identität ist eine einzigartige und persönliche Verschmelzung von Charaktereigenschaften, Erfahrungen und Rollenbilder, welche das Selbstwertgefühl und den eigenen Platz in der Gesellschaft definieren. Identität in diesem Sinne wird indirekt durch eine Performance kommuniziert und aufgrund der wachsenden Gegenwärtigkeit des Internets sowie von sozialen Medien ist die Performance der Identität in diesen digitalen Umgebungen unumgänglich. Patricia Lockwood’s No One is Talking About This (NITAT) verwandelt diese Darstellung der Identität in sozialen Medien in eine Erzählform. Das Ziel dieser Masterarbeit ist die Identifzierung der Erzählweisen, welche von Lockwood verwendet werden um die Performance dieser Identität in digitalen Umgebungen in Romanform zu simulieren. Eine Evaluierung der Literaturgattung, der verwendeten fragmentarischen Form und Affekten sowie die verändernde Erzählperspektive soll zeigen, in welcher Form Lockwood einen anonymen Protagonisten kreiert, dessen Identität durch persönliche Online- und Offline-Gemeinschaften definiert wird. NITAT’s Protagonist bietet ein breites Spektrum an Möglichkeiten für eine kritische Evaluierung von Aspekten wie Humor, Politik und akzeptierte soziale Normen in digitalen Umgebungen, welche einen gegenwärtigen Diskurs im Internet wiederspiegeln.
description: Identity is the unique amalgamation of traits, experiences, and roles which define an individual’s sense of self and their place within society. Identity is communicated through its performance. As the internet and social media have become more and more pervasive in recent years, it is inevitable that identities are performed in these digital spaces. Patricia Lockwood’s No One is Talking About This (NITAT) turns identity performance on social media into narrative form. The aim of this thesis is to identify the narrative strategies Lockwood employs to simulate identity performance online in novel form. An evaluation of the novel’s genre, fragmentary form, use of affects, and shifting narrative perspective reveals how Lockwood creates an anonymous protagonist whose identity is defined by the online and offline communities she belongs to. NITAT’s protagonist offers potential for evaluating a plethora of aspects connected to humor, politics, and accepted social behaviors in digital spaces, reflecting contemporary discourse on the internet.
Neoliberal natures on the farm: Farmer autonomy and cooperation in comparative perspective

description: The struggle over autonomy in farming is emblematic of the philosophical and practical tensions inherent in solving multi-scalar environmental issues. We explore the multiplicities of autonomy through comparative case studies of agricultural cooperation in England, Switzerland, New Zealand, and Brazil, which allow consideration of the implications of a range of approaches to managing farmed environments under different variations of neoliberalism. The original data emerge from separate projects examining aspects of cooperative autonomy in relation to the effects of the neoliberalisation of nature in agriculture. The comparative examination of autonomy and cooperation across distinct agri-food contexts highlights diversity in the social, ecological and economic outcomes of alternative forms of agri-environmental governance. This analysis provides a sobering corrective to both the over-romanticization of cooperation across global peasant movements and the over-romanticization of the individual entrepreneur in agroindustrial and family farming sectors. Our examination highlights the need for greater attention to the relationships between actors at and across different scales (the farm level, organizations and communities, the state, and industry) to understand how, in contrasting contexts of neoliberalisation, alternative conceptions of autonomy serve to mediate particular interventions and their material environmental consequences. A focus on actual autonomy, via the peasant principle and territorial cooperatives, creates an opening in theoretical and political dialogue to bridge concerns about farmers, livelihoods, and environmental outcomes.

From fs to Sub-ns: Dependence of the Material Removal Rate on the Pulse Duration for Metals

description: Ultra short laser pulses are used, when high requirements concerning machining quality are demanded. The cost- effectiveness plays an important role for a successful transfer of this technology into industrial applications. Therefore systems with longer ps-pulses could offer an attractive alternative compared to short ps- and fs systems. Beside fiber based systems with ∼50 ps pulse durations also small systems with sub-ns pulses are available today. In contrast to the dramatic drop of the material removal rate when the pulse duration is raised from 10 ps to 50 ps the impact is weaker for a further increase to 540 ps and the removal rate even increases when the pulse duration is raised to 1.4 ns. As no crater formation is observed and the surface quality is better than for 1.4 ns pulses, sub-ns pulses could be an attractive alternative to machine steel compared to fiber based systems with ∼50 ps pulse duration.

description: Background and aims: Previously, we determined that training with vibrotactile feedback (VTfb) of trunk sway improves MS patients’ balance impairment. Here, we posed 5 questions: 1) How many weeks of VTfb training are required to obtain the best short-term carry over effect (CoE) with VTfb? 2) How long does the CoE last once VTfb training terminates? 3) Is the benefit similar for stance and gait? 4) Is position or velocity based VTfb more effective in reducing trunk sway? 5) Do patients’ subjective assessments of balance control improve? Methods: Balance control of 16 MS patients was measured with gyroscopes at the lower trunk. The gyroscopes drove directionally active VTfb in a head-band. Patients trained twice per week with VTfb for 4 weeks to determine when balance control with and without VTfb stopped improving. Thereafter, weekly assessments without VTfb over 4 weeks and at 6 months determined when CoEs ended. Results: A 20% improvement in balance to normal levels occurred with VTfb. Short term CoEs improved from 15 to 20% (p ≤0.001). Medium term (1–4 weeks) CoEs were constant at 19% (p ≤0.001). At 6 months improvement was not significant, 9%. Most improvement was for lateral sway. Equal improvement occurred when angle position or velocity drove VTfb. Subjectively, balance improvements peaked after 3 weeks of training (32%, p ≤0.05). Conclusions: 3–4 weeks VTfb training yields clinically relevant sway reductions and subjective improvements for MS patients during stance and gait. The CoEs lasted at least 1 month. Velocity-based VTfb was equally effective as position-based VTfb

Narrative Persuasion and the Impact of Format on Adult Learners' Attitudes Toward Postsecondary Education
Creators: name: Fabian, Erin
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2023

description: "This study aimed to assess the influence and impact of narrative formats on adult learners and their attitudes toward postsecondary education. The study utilized two eight-person focus groups of adult learners between the ages of 25 and 60 at Cape Fear Community College. These focus groups assessed the preferences and impacts of written narratives and videos on the
attention, identification with characters, shareability, social proof, and emotional engagement of participants. While most participants favored written narratives for their in-depth information and ability to focus on the stories, some acknowledged the appeal of videos for information retrieval and engagement. The research findings revealed that adult learners desire detailed, specific information, however, they also appreciate the emotional engagement and shareability of video.
These findings highlight the importance of providing detailed information while also creating emotionally engaging videos that emphasize the key components of a narrative. The qualitative findings from the focus groups demonstrate the need for a nuanced approach to content creation
for higher education marketers— an approach that fuses the capabilities of video and written narrative."

description: Introduction Findings of recent studies indicate that it is possible to enhance cognitive capacities of healthy individuals by means of individual upper alpha neurofeedback training (NFT). Although these results are promising, most of this research was conducted based on high-priced EEG systems developed for clinical and research purposes. This study addresses the question whether such effects can also be shown with an easy to use and comparably low-priced Emotiv Epoc EEG headset available for the average consumer. In addition, critical voices were raised regarding the control group designs of studies addressing the link between neurofeedback training and cognitive performance. Based on an extensive literature review revealing considerable methodological issues in an important part of the existing research, the present study addressed the question whether individual upper alpha neurofeedback has a positive effect on alpha amplitudes (i.e. increases alpha amplitudes) and short-term memory performance focussing on a methodologically sound, single-blinded, sham controlled design. Method Participants (N = 33) took part in four test sessions over four consecutive days of either neurofeedback training (NFT group) or sham feedback (SF group). In the NFT group, five three-minute periods of visual neurofeedback training were administered each day whereas in the SF group (control group), the same amount of sham feedback was presented. Performance on eight digit-span tests as well as participants’ affective states were assessed before and after each of the daily training sessions. Results NFT did not show an effect on individual upper alpha and cognitive performance. While performance increased in both groups over the course of time, this effect could not be explained by changes in individual upper alpha. Additional analyses however revealed that participants in the NFT group showed faster and larger increase in alpha compared to the SF group. Surprisingly, exploratory analyses showed a significant correlation between the initial alpha level and the alpha improvement during the course of the study. This finding suggests that participants with high initial alpha levels benefit more from alpha NFT interventions. In the discussion, the appearance of the alpha enhancement in the SF group and possible reasons for the absence of a connection between NFT and short-term memory are addressed.

description: This randomized controlled trial (RCT) reports effects of a preventive intervention at worksite, namely stochastic resonance whole-body vibration (SR-WBV) training on musculoskeletal pain (MSP). SR-WBV is a form of wholebody vibration training with randomized low frequency vibration. The force-time behavior of the vibrations is not foreseeable and the body will be constantly challenged to adapt the muscle reactions. The experimental group (EG) performed an eight-week of SR-WBV. The control group (CG) received no intervention. The RCT was conducted in a large Swiss hospital. The 180 participants were between 18 and 63 years old (M = 43; SD = 11). The majority were female (88%) and were nurses (45%). MSP was measured daily in a diary. Participation possibilities and general health were assessed by self-report questionnaires before the RCT started. A longitudinal multilevel analysis showed a significant interaction of SR-WBV by time showed MSP to decline in the EG. Moreover, SWBV-training reduced pain to the largest extent in those with lowest participation possibilities and those who reported only moderate general health. Thus, SR-WBV was most effective in those reporting risk factors for musculoskeletal pain. SR-WBV may help to reduce the high prevalence of occupational musculoskeletal pain in hospital staff.

Year: 2021

description: Purpose – Firms are challenged by digital transformation, as their organizational design is not up to par. Mercedes-Benz.io, a 100% subsidiary of Mercedes-Benz AG Daimler group, employs Holacracy, a selfmanagement framework that abolishes traditional hierarchies in order to be more responsive to changes. This paper aims to explore how Mercedes-Benz.io utilizes Holacracy in order to address the challenges posed by digital transformation. Design/methodology/approach – Using qualitative expert interviews, the authors show that organizational life becomes more meaningful but also more engaging and demanding. The authors highlight that agile principles can be embedded in the organizational structure, a strong contrast to conventional management design. Decision-making authority and accountability is decentralized toward employees who face operational realities. This fosters commitment but might prolong the decision process. Leadership seems to be fairly contextual, and career paths are fundamentally different; development avenues are rather functional. Findings – The authors conclude that Holacracy seems suitable for industries where the need for adaptability outweighs the need for reliability. It leads to increased transparency and accountability but is not a ready-made solution and requires ample resources. Originality/value – This study is one of the first that qualitatively assess the changes, implications and outcomes of organizations that employ Holacracy.

description: The Natural Language to Visualization (NL2Vis) task aims to transform natural-language descriptions into visual representations for a grounded table, enabling users to gain insights from vast amounts of data. Recently, many deep learning-based approaches have been developed for NL2Vis. Despite the considerable efforts made by these approaches, challenges persist in visualizing data sourced from unseen databases or spanning multiple tables. Taking inspiration from the remarkable generation capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs), this paper conducts an empirical study to evaluate their potential in generating visualizations, and explore the effectiveness of in-context learning prompts for enhancing this task. In particular, we first explore the ways of transforming structured tabular data into sequential text prompts, as to feed them into LLMs and analyze which table content contributes most to the NL2Vis. Our findings suggest that transforming structured tabular data into programs is effective, and it is essential to consider the table schema when formulating prompts. Furthermore, we evaluate two types of LLMs: finetuned models (e.g., T5-Small) and inference-only models (e.g., GPT-3.5), against state-of-the-art methods, using the NL2Vis benchmarks (i.e., nvBench). The experimental results reveal that LLMs outperform baselines, with inference-only models consistently exhibiting performance improvements, at times even surpassing fine-tuned models when provided with certain few-shot demonstrations through in-context learning. Finally, we analyze when the LLMs fail in NL2Vis, and propose to iteratively update the results using strategies such as chain-of-thought, role-playing, and code-interpreter. The experimental results confirm the efficacy of iterative updates and hold great potential for future study.

description: AIM: This paper is a report of a study to determine the transferability of the Management of Aggression and Violence Attitude Scale to European mental health inpatient settings. BACKGROUND: Incidents of patient aggression and violence are common in psychiatric in-patient facilities, and nurses' attitudes may play a part in how they are managed. METHODS: Nursing staff from acute psychiatric in-patient units in Switzerland and the United Kingdom completed the Management of Aggression and Violence Attitude Scale. Data were collected in the UK in 2001 and Switzerland in 2003. The Swiss sample comprised 75 respondents: 45 female, mean age 36.24, mean experience 7.35 years, 60 Registered Nurses. The United Kingdom sample was 75 respondents: 58 female, mean age 32, mean experience 5.25 years, 48 Registered Nurses. T-tests identified differences between the groups in their responses to each Management of Aggression and Violence Attitude Scale statement. RESULTS: There was 66% concordance of views between the groups. Swiss nurses were, however, more likely to regard factors internal to the patient as contributory to aggression while United Kingdom nurses perceived environmental factors to be more important. Both groups endorsed physical means of aggression management, Swiss nurses more so. CONCLUSION: There are both commonalities and differences between the attitudes of Swiss and United Kingdom nursing staff regarding patient aggression. Differences may relate to rates of aggression, variations in management approaches, training and policy. The Management of Aggression and Violence Attitude Scale is a potentially effective tool for making comparisons about perspectives on patient aggression.

Unleashing Usability Superpowers to Make the World a Better Place

description: ICT systems that suffer from minor, and sometimes major, usability problems are an all- too-common experience. This is hard to understand given that there is a readily available body of knowledge that provides solid, field-tested advice on how to design and develop usable and useful interactive digital systems in domains ranging from leisure to business to health. People usually cannot avoid using the bad interfaces they need to use to do the tasks at hand but perhaps we can encourage them to document and share what makes them bad interfaces? Over time this could change how usability is perceived across organisations and influence how new ICT systems are acquired. After all, bad usability can not only affect staff well- being and the bottom line but can also involve legal liabilities.
Not Only a Matter of Electricity – Rethinking Materiality with Victor Grippo’s Energía de una papa (1972)
Creators: name: Senkpiel, Fabiana
Publisher: name: MDPI
Year: 2023

description: In order to consider the materiality of Victor Grippo’s artwork Energía de una papa (1972) more comprehensively than has thus far been the case, the specific characteristics of this case study are initially discussed against the background of the relationship between materiality and conceptual art. In a further step, the artwork’s agency is questioned, and it is regarded in the context of positions within new materialism. This is done by utilizing certain aspects of Karen Barad’s concept of “agential realism” in an examination of Grippo’s artwork. Our thesis is that while the Baradian approach is able to explain materiality within the functioning of the case study, the complex embedding of materiality and symbolic factors for the context of the art require an even broader perspective. Finally, the different layers of materiality—the material presence and the immaterial, less tangible aspects—are considered together in order to show their indispensable entanglement in generating the artwork’s meaning. It is not just the potato as food-as-art-material or the voltameter as a ready-made that must be our focus, but all the organic, non-human materials and the non-tangible elements involved in the artistic work, as well as the human being who sets the process in motion.
