From outreach to engaged placemaking

description: Public land-grant universities (PLGUs) have been mandated for nearly a century to fulfill research, teaching, and public service missions by advancing scholarly inquiry that benefits broader society, by ensuring educational access to a broad citizenry, and by providing direct assistance to communities primarily through agricultural cooperative extension services. With the advent of a global service-based economy in recent decades, PLGUs have become involved with tourism planning and development efforts in their communities as forms of education and public service through academic programs and cooperative extension tourism, as well as through conference and event services and through campus-based visitor information centers. PLGU involvement with tourism planning and development signals a trend towards placemaking that coincides with the national university-community engagement movement. This exploratory analysis begins to clarify PLGU involvement with tourism planning and development as an emergent form of university-community engagement. The study finds that predominantly elite PLGUs are promoting their involvement with tourism planning and development as community engagement, thereby advancing themselves as powerful placemakers that help to make their communities more competitive destinations in regional and national place hierarchies. As a consequence, PLGUs that appear to lack capacity to compete in this innovative approach to community engagement also appear to lack placemaking power in their communities. Ultimately, the study asserts that the adoption of community-based tourism engagement marketing strategies among elite PLGUs creates a new playing field on which lower capacity PLGUs and their communities are disadvantaged to compete. Ironically, this practice reinforces the very class and power structures that the university-community engagement movement seeks to address. Using primarily grounded theory, institutional ethnography, and case study methodological approaches, the study identifies and characterizes levels of tourism planning and development capacity among PLGUs on national and regional scales. The study lays groundwork for further research on PLGU tourism planning and development as both a potentially beneficial and potentially disempowering form of university-community engagement.

Useful fictions and necessary idols
Creators: name: Holm, Melanie D.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2011

description: Charging the Enlightenment with naivety for its advancement of human understanding has become a critical commonplace. Yet, in truth, Enlightenment thinkers were their own first critics where understanding is concerned. Eighteenth-century debates raisedprofound misgivings about the limits of human understanding, including concerns about the integrity of individual judgment and the credibility of knowledge gained by the senses. In my dissertation, I argue that four authors—Jonathan Swift, Henry Fielding,Laurence Sterne, and George Gordon, Lord Byron—employ laughter to resolve anxieties surrounding human understanding. Directing their comic critique at what Fielding describes as “not men, but manners; not an individual, but a species,” these authors depart from traditional forms of ridicule that polemically ostracize particular individuals or beliefs. Instead, they ridicule the flawed nature of all human understanding by exposing the comic results of rating human understanding as an absolute authority or an agent of truth. Laughter at collective foolishness introduces reflexivity in readers that redirects them from the proud error of wanting to know what is true to the social pursuit of living well. These authors reconcile living well with a limited human understanding by reconceiving the nature of “fiction” as not falsehood or lie absolutely opposed to “truth,” but as a fruitful mode for achieving collective commitment to practical conventions on the grounds not of ontological rectitude but of increased sociability. I designate these conventions as “useful fictions” and “necessary idols” to emphasize the collaboration ofaesthetic invention and practical reason, and remark on “the Comedy of Enlightenment Understanding” to denote the mode of ridicule these authors apply as a specifically literary continuation of the Enlightenment project of disenchantment that disenchants human understanding itself through the critical and clarifying pleasures of laughter.

description: In this work, we investigated the impact of antibiotic resistant bacteria from final effluents of a sewage discharge on the selection of antibiotic resistance in natural bacterial communities in sites downstream the treatment plant. Samples were collected from the final effluents of the wastewater treatment plant and from two sites along the receiving stream. A fourth site, upstream of the discharge, was used as control. Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequences was performed to derive the composition and structure of the four microbial communities. Clone library data and TRFLP profiles showed that the four communities were all dominated by Betaproteobacteria, which constituted approximately two thirds of the final effluent community. The diversity and abundance of other bacterial phylotypes varied across sites. Bacterial diversity included 9 phylotypes in the final effluent, 15 and 13 phylotypes respectively in the sites downstream the discharge. Furthermore, bacteria were isolated from the same samples using culture-dependent techniques, which allowed to link antibiotic resistance to particular bacterial species. While clone libraries were dominated by Betaproteobacteria, culturable isolates mainly belonged to the class of Gammaproteobacteria. Specifically, the analysis of the isolates from the final effluent showed the presence of Bacillus, Enterobacter, Acinetobacter, and Staphylococcus strains, while samples collected downstream from the plant were characterized by species belonging to the genera Brevibacterium, Chryseobacterium, Aeromonas and Delftia. All the isolates were resistant to amoxicillin, and most displayed resistance to multiple antibiotics. The distribution of β-lactamase genes across the four sites was also assessed.  Phylogenetic analysis revealed that the distribution of the bla TEM4 gene is divided to two main clusters. The first cluster contains sequences that are exclusively detected at the plant and receiving water, but not at the upstream site, while sequences of the second cluster were present at all of the four sites.

description: This thesis describes a model independent search for new physics with a decay signature of three or more leptons and missing transverse energy in  35pb⁻¹ of proton-proton collisions at the LHC at a center mass energy √s = 7 TeV using the CMS detector. Standard Model backgrounds are predicted using both simulations and collision data. The observed events are consistent with the Standard Model predictions.  The results are interpreted using various supersymmetric models:  gravity mediated symmetry breaking, gauge mediated symmetry breaking with slepton co-NLSP, and leptonic R-parity violating.
Essays in interest rates, pension funds and monetary policy in emerging economies
Creators: name: Hernandez Baez, Raul E.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2011

description: This dissertation focuses on the importance of pension funds investments in explaining the evolution of interest rates, and the interaction between monetary policy and the real economy.  Even though there is an extensive literature on the behavior of interest rates, very few studies explain how and why a fully funded pension system contributes to the downward path of interest rates observed during the last decade. Also, there’s very dynamic literature on non-linearities in monetary policy and the real economy, mostly as independent phenomena, but what if they can be explained simultaneously? Chapter 2 studies how a pension fund system can put downward pressure on interest rates in economies with shallow capital markets. Using data from Dominican Republic, the chapter analyzes how the term structure of the lending and deposit interest rates of domestic banks, that serve as the main destination of pension fund investments, have been affected by this inflow of financial resources and compares this effect with traditional macroeconomic factors. Both lending and deposit rates respond throughout the term structure to the investment of pension funds. The third chapter uses time series and panel data techniques to analyze the evolution of the key interest rates in Latin American countries in which the pension fund reform has been implemented. I focus my attention to the interest rate of the asset class that is weighted the most in the portfolio of pension fund institutions in Colombia, Dominican Republic, Mexico and Peru. Due to how the system creates incentives for the pension fund administrators to behave in similar fashion and the size of the funds under management, the pension fund system has been an important factor in the reduction of interest rates in the region.  Chapter 4 studies that interaction between Phillips Curve, fiscal and monetary policy  nonlinearities. A simple model is derived to show how Phillips Curve and fiscal policy nonlinearities interact and generate different types of nonlinearities in monetary policy, even if a central bank has quadratic preferences on inflation and output gap. Using data from Dominican Republic and comparing three types of nonlinearities studied frequently in the literature, we show that nonlinearities are important to explain particular episodes, and that, whenever possible, they should be study as an interdependent, rather than as single issue.

description: Remotely sensed Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) images, collected between 1995 and 2007, and Bayesian Regression Tree Modeling were brought together to characterize growing season environmental (vegetation, temperature, precipitable water, and cloudiness) change in Alaska. This method highlighted general trends and local variation.  The method was applied in two stages to reduce the effects of cloudiness upon the results and reveal the temporal distribution of cloudiness conditions. A reversible form of tree model “subtree replacement” was included in the Reversible Jump MCMC algorithm. A sensitivity analysis showed that larger values of some hyperprior parameters could increase the number of subsets delineated by the method. For data collected during 1995 – 2002, the analyses showed local variation and subtle changes. In 2003, conditions of higher precipitable water, higher Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), and/or greater cloudiness were highlighted. In 2004, the analyses detected a shift to lower precipitable water and/or lower cloudiness, often accompanied or followed by lower NDVI and higher land surface temperature. In 2007, continued warming was highlighted in the Arctic and northern interior regions, in contrast with a return to earlier conditions and increased cloudiness revealed in regions near the Bering Sea.

Currently, Toxochalina Ridley (1884: 402) is considered a subgenus of Callyspongia Duchassaing & Michelotti, 1864 (see e.g. Desqueyroux-Faúndez & Valentine, 2002a: 844). The present combination, described by Pulitzer-Finali from La Parguera, Puerto Rico, approximate coordinates 17.9494°N 66.9069°W, depth 2 m (holotype MSNG 47710), is a junior secondary homonym of Ceraochalina multiformis Von Lendenfeld (1887: 783), as this was reassigned to the genus Callyspongia by Burton (1934a: 607) (followed by Hooper & Wiedenmayer 1994: 98). Von Lendenfeld described six varieties of C. multiformis, the first of which, var. maeandra, is here chosen as the nominotypical variety to be named Ceraochalina multiformis var. multiformis (cf. ICZN art. 47.1), described from Port Chalmers, New Zealand, approximate coordinates 45.825°S 170.6083°E (dried holotype BMNH 1886.8.27.426, fide Hooper & Wiedenmayer, 1994: 98). Despite the fact that C. multiformis Von Lendenfeld is currently considered a junior synonym of Callyspongia (Callyspongia) nuda (Ridley, 1884: 395), cf. Van Soest et al. 2020: 38, the junior name must be replaced as both senior and junior name belong to the same genus (ICZN art. 59.1). I propose Callyspongia (Toxochalina) gustavoi nom.nov., named after Gustavo Pulitzer-Finali.

Examining heterogeneity in the Latino population’s smoking cessation behaviors
Creators: name: Gundersen, Daniel Alexander
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2011

description: Objectives: (1) Examine differences by two proxy measures of acculturation – English Language Proficiency (ELP) and immigrant generation - for making a quit attempt in the past 12 months, receiving advice to stop smoking from a health care provider, and using effective cessation aids during a quit attempt; (2) examine whether gender moderates acculturation for these behaviors; (3) examine if tobacco control context moderates acculturation for quit attempts or use of cessation aids; (4) examine if acculturation explains the disparity relative to non-Latino whites for advice to quit and use of cessation aids. Methods: The 2003 and 2006/07 Tobacco Use Supplement to the Current Population survey were merged with state level per capita cumulative tobacco control expenditures. Separate logistic regressions for ELP and immigrant generation were fit for each outcome. Interaction terms for gender and acculturation, and cumulative per capita tobacco control expenditures and acculturation were added to assess their respective moderating effects. Models contrasting Latinos and non-Latino whites with and without acculturation as controls were fit to examine if acculturation explains known disparities. Results: Latinos with poor ELP were more likely than those with good ELP, and respondents of more recent immigrant generation were more likely to make a quit attempt. There were some suggestive findings that these associations were larger in magnitude among females. No significant differences were found for advice to stop smoking. Second generation immigrants were more likely than third generation immigrants to use a behavioral aid, and there were suggestive findings that they were less likely to use pharmacological aids. There were mixed findings of whether tobacco control expenditures moderates the association between acculturation and quit attempt or use of cessation aids. Acculturation does not explain the Latino disparity for advice to quit and use of cessation aids. Conclusion: Future tobacco control studies should disaggregate Latinos by acculturation whenever possible, and should consider gender as a moderating factor. Tobacco control acculturation research should continue to include contextual variables, including tobacco control context. Studies examining the source of Latino disparity in advice to quit and use of cessation aids should target variables other than acculturations.
The comprehensive framework of shared capitalism
Creators: name: Han, Kyongji
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2011

description: This study aims to examine a mechanism of shared capitalism operation at the individual level. Building on both psychology and economic literatures, this study argues that shared capitalistic practices influence employees’ feeling of ownership, which mediates the relationship between shared capitalism plans and employees’ attitudes of job satisfaction and organizational commitment. Further, building on strategic HR management perspective and time perspective, this study suggests that two groups of shared capitalism--short-term oriented shared capitalism and long-term oriented shared capitalism – influence employees’ psychological ownership and attitudes either additively or by substituting for each other. Empirical findings support that psychological ownership mediates the positive relationships between the two types of shared capitalism and employees’ attitudes. Also the current study indicates that there are additive effects of the two types of shared capitalism on employees’ psychological ownership, but there are substitutive effects on employees’ job satisfaction and organizational commitment. Further discussions and limitations are explained.

The semiotic spectrum
Creators: name: Greenberg, Gabriel J.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2011

description: Because humans cannot know one another’s minds directly, every form of communication is a solution to the same basic problem: how can privately held information be made publicly accessible through manipulations of the physical environment? Language is by far the best studied response to this challenge. But there are a diversity of non-linguistic strategies for representationwith external signs as well, from facial expressions and fog horns to chronological graphs and architectural renderings. The general thesis of this dissertation is that there is an impressively wide spectrum of conventional systems of representation, corresponding to the many ways that the problem of communication can be solved, and that these systems can be described and explained using the tools of contemporary mathematical semantics. As a partial corrective to the countervailing norm, this work concentrates on the class of systems arguably most different from language— those governing the interpretation of pictorial images. Such representations dominate practical communication: witness the proliferation of maps, road signs, newspaper photographs, scientific illustrations, television shows, engineering drawings, and even the fleeting imagery of manual gesture. I argue that systems of depiction and languages embody a parallel technologies of communication. Both are based on semantics: systematic and conventional mappings from signs to representational content. But I also provide evidence that these semantics are profoundly divergent. Whereas the semantics of languages are based on arbitrary associations of signs and denotations, the semantics of systems of depiction are based on rules of geometrical transformation. Drawing on recent research in computer graphics and computational vision, I go on to develop a precise theory of pictorial semantics. This in turn facilitates a detailed comparisonof iconic, image-based representation, and symbolic, language-based representation. A consequence of these conclusions is that the traditional, language-centric conception of semantics must be overhauled to allow for a more general semantic theory, one which countenances the wide variety of interpretive mechanisms actually at work in human communication.
Evolution of a design for communication

Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2011

description: This study examines the communication design practice (Aakhus, 2007) of a third-party expert communication-information service – the Global Reporting Initiative –by describing the evolutionary path of a design for communication. The object of study is the change in the design proposal for the reporting move as stipulated in the GRI Sustainability Reporting Guidelines. GRI’s proposal for sustainability reporting is an intervention into civil regulation made by institutionalizing a way for organizations todisclose their social, environmental, and economic performance to their stakeholders, and thus an effort to shape the quality of communication about issues of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) that arise at the intersection of business and society. The Report Content sections of the Guidelines – G1 (2000), G2 (2002), G3 (2006), and G3.1 (2011) – were used as data in this study. Analysis identified changes over time between the Guidelines’ versions and was guided by the design stance conceptually (Aakhus & Jackson, 2005), and a modified grounded theory (GT) approachprocedurally (Strauss & Corbin, 1990). A main finding in this study is that the “success” of the GRI Guidelines has been puzzling, in light of the documents’ increasingly normative and prescriptive approach, yet increased distancing from the reporting organizations as primary stakeholders alongside emerging orientation toward international standard-setting organizations as main drivers of report content. Findings also showed that the GRI’s specifications for the reporting move have changed over time from flexible requests to provide factual information about current activities in G1 to more imperative requests to account for past and present behavior while embracing a global view of expansive civic responsibilities in G3/3.1. Analysis has shown that the GRI has intervened significantly in the arena of civil regulation, although the promise of substantive company-stakeholder dialogue about CSR matters has not been realized. Instead, the GRI has created a new bureaucracy that seemingly satisfies all the participants yet whose contribution to a more sustainable world is questionable. The study has introduced theory-practice implications for civilregulation, which are grounded in design rationality as explanatory framework.

The present combination is a junior primary homonym of Protoschmidtia foraminosa f. incrustans Czerniavsky, 1880: 98 (page priority). Even though it is currently assigned to the synonymy of Metschnikowia tuberculata Grimm, 1877, the junior name must be replaced (ICZN art. 57.2). I propose Protoschmidtia czerniavskyi nom.nov., which is a junior synonym of Metschnikowia tuberculata.

Spongilla crateriformis var. insularis Penney & Racek, 1968: 6 (with question mark, no illustration).
Radiospongilla crateriformis; Khera & Chaturvedi 1976: 14 (listed as synonym).
The variety appears to be a nomen nudum because Penney & Racek (1968) cite a name assigned to Annandale (1911a: 85, footnote), which cannot be found in this paper and in the footnote. Annandale does discuss a Spongilla crateriformis found on Ross Island, in the Andaman Islands, India (approximate coordinates 11.6°N 92.7°E), by an assistant of the Indian Museum Mr C.A. Paiva, but he did not give the specimen an infraspecific or subspecific name. Penney & Racek apparently were of the opinion that this occurrence merited a varietal name, and gave it the name var. insularis, assigning authorship erroneously to Annandale. They created a nomen nudum, as no description was given. The combination is listed as a junior synonym of Radiospongilla crateriformis (Potts, 1882: 12 as Meyenia) in a checklist of Indian freshwater sponges in the collections of the Zoological Survey of India, ZSI (Khera & Chaturved 1976), but it is not mentioned in Soota (1991). Since the type locality of Radiospongilla crateriformis is in Eastern North America, it is quite likely that the Andaman Island occurrence of a population of this species could belong to a distinct (sub)specific taxon. Possibly, the Indian records of R. crateriformis all conform to this subspecies. However, I refrain to nomenclaturally formalize the existence of this subspecies because details of the type specimen and where it is deposited and registered are currently unknown. The type material could be in ZSI, Kalkota, but we must await its description (ICZN art. 16).

Social facilitation

description: Social facilitation is the oldest experimental concept in social psychology. Throughout decades of social facilitation research, social presence has typically been viewed as a dichotomous variable which affects individuals while performing a task.  However, this dissertation attempts to investigate whether social presence may be viewed as continuous variable, differing on the salience of presence.  In addition, it seeks to determine whether changes in performance can be elicited by prior social presence (residual presence) and the expectation of future social presence (anticipatory presence).  Study 1 compared the effects of 6 different levels of presence (absence, artificial presence, passive presence, implied presence, embodied presence, and active presence) on simple and complex task performance.  It provides evidence that the various levels of social presence did have a differential impact on participants.  From the questionnaire responses, social presence was able to be classified into three distinct categories: low (absence, artificial and passive presence), intermediate (implied presence), and high salience (embodied and active presence).  Study 1 also provides some support for the expectation that presence results in simple task facilitation.  However, instead of an expected linear relationship between salience of presence and simple task enhancement, a quadratic inverted U-shaped curve was observed. Implied presence, a type of presence of intermediate salience, produced the strongest effects.  Study 2 showed that social presence can enhance simple task performance even after the stimulus has been removed (residual presence).  Study 2 also provided some indication that anticipating a supervisor could cause social facilitation effects even before the supervisor’s arrival.  Questionnaire responses showed that participants expecting the presence of a supervisor, like those exposed to residual presence, were more affected on perceived distraction, immediacy, impact, and stress compared to control participants.  Implications of the present results provide the rationale for a modified conceptualization of social facilitation.

Axinella profunda var. kurushima Tanita, 1961: 347, pl. IV fig. 14; Hoshino 1976: 3; Hoshino 1981b: 210; Ise 2017: 365 (listed only).
The variety was described by Tanita from Kurushima Strait, Japan, approximate coordinates 34.1167°N 133°E, depth less than 50 m (syntypes “several specimens”, not known where kept). The shape and the spicules of the variety differ from the syntype specimens of the typical variety described and pictured by Ridley & Dendy (1887: 181, pl. XXXVIII figs. 2–3, pl. XL fig. 3–3a) from Challenger Exped. Stat. 241 (BMNH 1887.5.2.42, North Pacific, 35.6833°N 157.7°E, depth 4123 m) and Stat. 281 (BMNH 1887.5.2.54, South Pacific, 22.35°S 150.2833°W, depth 4369 m). The present variety is much more branching and forms a larger bush of 90 x 140 mm (whereas the typical variety specimens measure only 50 mm). The spicules are styles in both and approximately the same size (650–1500 µm vs. 550–2000 µm), but those of the typical variety have microspined heads (which is an indication that possibly the species is not an Axinella Schmidt, 1862), whereas the present variety has smooth headed styles. The typical variety specimens were collected in abyssal depths (4200 m), while the present variety originated from less than 50 m depth. In view of these differences I propose to elevate the present variety to species rank as Axinella kurushima. The combination must be assigned to the present author as a nom.nov., because Tanita published his name after 1960 (ICZN art. 15.2 and 45.5.1).

description: In questo saggio intendiamo ricostruire dal testo Réflexions sur la question juive il percorso attraverso il quale Sartre indaga la situazione difficile e conflittuale degli ebrei e la loro inquietante storia di vita. Sartre lo fa partendo dall'antisemitismo, che considera un sentimento di odio e di rabbia. Tuttavia, poco prima di morire, torna sull'argomento e scopre l'ebraismo messianico, che lo porta a pensare di fondare una nuova etica sulla speranza e sull'idea che l'essere umano è sempre più di quello che è.

In this essay we intend to reconstruct from the text Réflexions sur la question juive the path through which Sartre investigates the difficult and conflictual situation of the Jews and their disturbing life story. Sartre does so starting with anti-Semitism, which he considers a feeling of hatred and anger. However, shortly before his death, he returns to the subject and discovers Messianic Judaism, which makes him think about founding a a new ethics on hope and the idea that human being is always more than they are.
