description: Pennella elegans Gnanamuthu, 1957
(Fig. 8)
Synonyms. None
Type host and locality. Cypselurus sp., Indian Ocean
Morphology. Size: 35 mm. Papillae: partial coverage, clavate, a few spherical, unorganized arrangement. Holdfasts: two only, short. First antenna (no information), second with three segments. Plumes: simple, single or double.
Remarks. Species inquirendae. Hogans (1988a) considered P. elegans as species inquirendae based on a lack of type material. The original description, though brief, portrays the species as exhibiting a unique cephalothoracic shape and papillae configuration (Fig. 8 b). Pennella elegans is a small species originally described from a single female without egg strings. The only other record of P. elegans (from the same host and locality as the original record) is by Kannapuandi (1976) who described the cuticular adaptations in various structures of the parasite, but did not further elaborate on its morphology.

description: This study explores the relationship of Canadian prime minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau and seminal media theorist Marshall McLuhan through an examination of their correspondence, which has never been studied as a discrete entity. The two men were at the forefront of discussions about critical issues of globalization, especially the political uses of media, at a time when globalization was not yet a recognized keyword in the literature. All this is reflected in the correspondence.    There were almost 100 items, housed at Library and Archives Canada (LAC) in Ottawa, many of which have appeared in pieces in books written about either man; many of McLuhan’s are in a 1987 collection of his letters, published by Oxford University Press. Mainly, I searched through primary and secondary documents, though I did contact several of McLuhan’s children, spoke with a few people who knew either or both men and paid a visit to LAC. The letters form the second chapter of this dissertation, an intersection between Part I, which introduces them and my interest in them, and Part III, in which I take readers through the correspondence. Part IV is primarily a description of the personal journey through issues of globalization, multiculturalism and borders that ties it all together.    The relationship between these two intellects was warm and nuanced. Trudeau “spoke of McLuhan with great reverence” and, for McLuhan, Trudeau was “an image of the age, a phenomenon of media, a rare combination of training, practice, intuition, vision; a figure of undoubted fascination, a charismatic who manifested the Canadian dualities and ambiguities.”  Both were experts at media manipulation and recognized that in the other. McLuhan was teaching the world about the global village at the same time as Trudeau was helping Canada find its place and meanings in it. Even a cursory glance at the news today shows how much their work is still relevant and needs to be built upon.
Multimodal freight transportation problem

description: Multimodal transportation has become increasingly important and dominating in the freight transportation industry. Sustainability concerns and availability of eco-friendly transportation modes, such as high-speed rail, have called for an investigation on environmental impacts of multimodal operations. Motivated by a real-life business case, this research studies multimodal transportation problems with operational constraints and environmental considerations. Specifically, a mathematical model is developed, and a heuristic algorithm is proposed to solve the problem effectively and efficiently. Environmental and financial impacts are further studied for several model configurations.  First, we study an operations scheduling problem in a multimodal transportation network, subject to shipping capacity limits, resource availability, transshipment delays, customer service requirements, and environmental concerns. The objective is to minimize the total shipping costs and penalty costs due to delivery delays. To this end, we model the problem as a mixed integer linear program (MILP), which determines the routing of customer orders, the transportation mode to use on each route segment, and the corresponding departure time of the selected mode.  Second, in view of the problem’s large scale and computational complexity, we propose a Lagrangian relaxation model, and decompose the original MILP model into smaller-size subproblems. These subproblems are independent to each other, and hence can be solved in parallel to significantly speed up the computation. A sub-gradient heuristic is developed to solve the Lagrangian model by effectively searching for bounds and feasible solutions. We tested the proposed heuristic on 28 different problem settings, each with 30 randomly generated test cases. The results show that the proposed heuristic is effective in finding near-optimal solutions for small to medium sized problems benchmarked by the Gurobi MILP solver, and for large-scale problems, the heuristic outperforms Gurobi in both solution time and quality.   Finally, based on the aforementioned model and its variants, we perform simulation analysis and quantify the financial and environmental impacts of four scenarios. (1) We quantify the environmental benefits of multimodal transportation, compared to truck-only transportation. (2) We quantify the impacts on carbon emissions by varying usage of high-speed rail. (3) We investigate the financial and environmental impacts on logistics companies by imposing carbon emissions quota as an operational constraint. (4) For shipping capacities, the logistics company may use a pay-per-use scheme or a fixed-volume subscription. We compare two models and their resulting impacts on firm’s operational costs and carbon emissions. Based on the numerical results of these analysis, we provide insights and suggestions on economic and environmental considerations for the future of multimodal transportation.
Human resource strategies in response to local government cutbacks

description: Much of the literature on public sector cutback management is normative and suggests how to implement cutback strategies as part of strategic management.  The paucity of empirical research is striking, given the importance of cutback management in assessing future employment needs of public sector agencies.  Such research is crucial in providing sufficient levels of services to fulfill the missions the public has come to expect from government.  Using a mixed methods approach, this study explored various human resource (HR) strategies used to deal with cutbacks and examined the causes and consequences of using these strategies.    Drawing on in-depth interviews with 17 directors in 9 local governments in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania, this study identified key factors that may account for the use of various HR strategies, including training and development, HR information technology, diversity management, and the role of unions and political leadership.  Furthermore, this study explored the subsequent consequences of using these various strategies, with a focus on budgets, capacity and employee morale.  To test these grounded hypotheses systematically, survey questionnaires were administered to health and human service directors of counties with populations over 10,000 residents, with an adjusted response rate of 32.8%.  In addition to gathering data on actual HR strategies, the study conducted a survey experiment in which managers were asked how they would respond to budget cutbacks of varying severity.    The results showed that multiple factors had varied influences on their decisions about human resource strategies in cutback situations.  The regression analyses indicated that local governments that recognized the importance of information management, state political leadership, and the role of unions were more active in their implementation of cutback strategies.  The findings of this study indicated as well that restructuring was associated strongly with lower budgets, capacity, and employee morale.  The experiment found some empirical evidence that public managers reduce direct personnel costs to maintain the functions of the organization.  The study has implications for human resources practices and theories, as well as important implications for the changing policies in developing and achieving the strategic goals of their organizations.

The effects of added distance on ownership decision and market reaction in cross-border acquisitions
Creators: name: Kim, Hyun Gon
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2017

description: In this dissertation, I argue that as multinational companies (MNCs) enter different countries, the extent of cultural that they face is likely to depend on their most recent entry. Based on this, I examine the pattern of adding cultural distance between newly entered target country and the closest previous one, and its effect on acquiring firms’ ownership decision and shareholder market reactions to each cross-border acquisition (CBA) announcement. Further, I examine the effect of time in adding cultural distance between successive acquisitions on ownership decision in CBAs and market reaction to CBA announcement. I test the arguments on a sample of 10,423 CBAs involving U.S. acquirers and targets in 138 countries during 1980 - 2014 time period. This study finds that added cultural distance and time in adding cultural distance significantly influence the ownership share decision and market reaction to CBA announcement. In addition, an acquirer’s prior ownership, CBA experience and geographic distance moderate the relationship between the added distance and the ownership decision in CBAs and market reaction to CBA announcement.

Two essays on inter-firm cooperative joint-venture
Creators: name: Lee, Steve Kyungjae
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2017

description: The first essay examines the effects of influential power each partner can exercise in the industry toward the unexpected dissolution of JVs formed between competitors. Based on the transaction-cost economics for the decision of ‘termination-or-sustenance’ of inter-firm collaboration and the situational assumption of ‘mixed-motive interaction’ that partners face for continuing cooperative behavior with competitor through JV, I theoretically argue that it is the influential power each partners exercise within the industry that causes JVs between direct competitors to have differential risk of dissolution. Event-history analysis was used to test the hypothesis based on the sample of 188 JVs between 2001 and 2015. A key finding is that JV failure is negatively related with the influential power.  The second essay further sophisticates prior finding in that it provides the condition under which positive effect of alliance experience to future activities becomes weaker or even disappear. Whereas early researches on experience emphasized that alliance experience generally seems to be conducive to firms’ alliance activities, this study seeks to go further by providing a boundary condition regarding when alliance experience supports alliances activities and when its effect becomes weaker or even disappear. Focusing on 203 firms whose focal joint-ventures were formed between 2001 and 2010 and observing their immediate subsequent joint-venture activities for following 5 years, the study demonstrates that although alliance experience generally influences positively to the likelihood of firms’ re-entrance of joint-venture, its positive effect to the formation rate of new JV becomes insignificant especially when focal firms have a JV failure in the most recent one.
Information and donations

description: The question of how to increase individual donations is one of the biggest challenges facing nonprofit organizations. Although research shows that many factors can motivate individuals to donate, little is known about how nonprofits use information to actually increase donations. Using a mixed-methods design, this dissertation employs behavioral theories of charitable giving to explore: 1) the types of information communicated by nonprofit organizations to the public, and 2) how these communication efforts influence individual giving decisions.     As a first step in examining these issues, tweets communicated between the public and all nonprofits on the Topnonprofits.com 100 list were collected. The Topnonprofits.com 100 list ranks organizations by social media impact, website traffic, and Charity Navigator ratings. Big data analyses of these tweets show that there are four main types of communicated information: mission-related information, direct requests for donations, financial information, and performance-related information. The results also show that mission-related information and direct requests are more frequently communicated than the other two types of information. A cheap information model is then proposed to explain why mission-related information and direct requests are communicated more frequently.     Next, whether (and to what extent) the frequencies of each type of information about an organization are associated with public attitudes toward that organization is tested. Results of several multivariable regressions suggest there are no significant associations between frequencies of information communicated and public attitudes toward nonprofits.    Finally, an online conjoint experiment is employed to explore the extent to which manipulation of the different types of informational messages (e.g., higher/lower evaluated missions, with/without direct requests, higher/lower program ratios, and higher/lower performance ratings) either boosts or decreases donations. These experimental results suggest that individuals are more likely to donate to a nonprofit that has a more highly evaluated mission, communicates direct requests, and has higher program ratios and performance ratings.     The results of this dissertation shed new light on the relationship between organizational information and individual donations. In addition to new theoretical insights, the findings from this dissertation should provide practical advice for nonprofit organizations on how to communicate information with donors more effectively.
The role of personal control motivation in the processing and categorization of racially and gender ambiguous faces
Creators: name: Margevich, Alexandra K.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2017

description: The need for personal control, or perceived control over one’s life, stems from the broader human need to perceive the world as nonrandom, orderly and structured. When people lack personal control, they can defend their overarching belief in an orderly and structured world by seeking out external sources of control and structure. Social categories are one such source of structure because they hierarchically order individuals into discrete groups that differ in terms of status and power. The overarching goal of this doctoral dissertation research was to examine if the basic motive for personal control underlies the processing and categorization of racially and gender ambiguous faces. In Studies 1A through 1C, I pretested a set of prototypical male and female faces, create and pretest a set of gender ambiguous faces, and pilot test a measure of ambiguous face processing and categorizations. In Study 2, I created and pretested a set of racially ambiguous faces. In Studies 3A and 3B, I established the association between individual differences in need for personal control and heuristic ambiguous face processing in the domains of race and gender. In Study 4, I pretested a manipulation of personal control to be used in subsequent studies. In Studies 5A and 5B, I tested the main effect of having versus lacking personal control on the processing and categorization of racially (5B) and gender (5A-B) ambiguous faces. Finally, in Study 6, I found that personal control threat may be more likely to exert an effect on ambiguous person perception among people high in prejudice against ambiguous others or entitativity beliefs, though these results must be interpreted cautiously. Collectively, my dissertation research did not reveal a general effect of personal control motivation on ambiguous person perception, but provides preliminary support that this relation emerges among people high or low on certain attributes.

A survey of current elementary and middle school jazz education curriculums
Creators: name: McLaughlin, Eric
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2017

description: This thesis aims to explore the history of jazz curriculums in the United States, as well as current curriculums that are being used, or are available for use in the elementary and middle school general music classes today. The main focus will concern jazz appreciation and history. The recorded history of jazz in schools dates back to the late 1920’s and early 1930’s in the form of critic reviews and the infancy of collegiate ensembles. In the 1940’s and 1950’s, jazz education sprawls out even further with the introduction and production of supporting materials as well as recognition in schools.  Throughout the last 80 years of music education at the elementary and middle school level, different methodologies and processes have been developed and applied in the classroom including the teachings of Kodály, Orff-Schulwerk, Gordon, Dalcroze, and Suzuki. These methods will be briefly examined and examples drawn for use in jazz curriculums. Two current major organizations in the jazz education world will then be discussed as well as their contributions to a cohesive jazz curriculum. New projects by both the Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz and Jazz at Lincoln Center will be the focus.  A survey was conducted by the author of 365 New Jersey music educators who teach in the elementary and/or middle school settings. The results will be analyzed and conclusions drawn based upon the survey responses. The participants answered ten questions based on their experience with jazz, materials they use, their training, and thoughts they have for improvement. A wide range of responses and opinions was graciously collected and will help serve to identify strengths and weaknesses within the current jazz education system.  Finally, supplemental instructional materials for the teaching of jazz in the classroom will be looked at. These include children’s books, listening activities, thoughts, and other materials that help create a cohesive and accessible jazz curriculum for both teachers and students.
Viral ethics
Creators: name: McNulty, Stephen
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2017

description: This dissertation charts the manifold ways in which contemporary ethics has divided humans from other forms of life. It offers an alternative to anthropocentricity through an ethics of virality. Utilizing the image, architecture, and dissemination of the virus as a model, it explores a vibrant ontological borderlands human-oriented ethics has abandoned. Where humanist ethics seeks purity, individuality, and normativity, viral ethics opts for infection, entanglement, and weakness. Though the discipline of animal studies has critiqued dominant discourses of taxonomy, consciousness, and ability, those studies often fail to move beyond our closest animal brethren. This work, instead, foregrounds the virus as a being which both straddles the scientific divide between life and non-life and revels in radical difference, espousing a form of ethics that embraces dissimilarity over resemblance. Thus, when life becomes a stand-in for human and vice versa, anything that falls outside the parameters of human has no ethical recourse to justice. To explode the dynamic of humanist ethics is to reorient being and politics towards a more expansive notion of life. To accomplish this, the first chapter defines viral ethics in its relations to assemblages of affect, debt, and capacity. The second chapter addresses embodiment and the various ways that interiority and exteriority are mobilized to reaffirm normative notions of being. The third chapter looks to the overlaps between organic and digital territories, interrogating the biopolitical architecture of viral objects. Lastly, the final chapter traces the division between human and animal and the division between life and death as mutually constitutive undertakings.

Ceratothoa trigonocephala

description: Ceratothoa trigonocephala (Leach, 1818)
Restricted synonymy:
Ceratothoa trigonocephala.— Martin, Bruce & Nowak, 2015a: 283–284.
Type and type locality. The lectotype (female specimen; NHMUK 2013.1013) and paralectotype (female specimens; BMNH 1979.404.2) were designated by Hadfield et al. (2014a) and are held at the Natural History Museum, London, both specimens collected by W. E. Leach (White’s MS Cat no. 404 a, b) from an unknown host and locality.
Remarks. Hadfield et al. (2014a) provided a detailed diagnosis and description of the type material. Ceratothoa trigonocephala has a triangular cephalon, for which it is named, and arched carinae on the last pair of pereopods. It is identified by the subequal pereonites 1–4; mid-dorsal protrusion on pereonite 1; short and bluntly rounded anterolateral margins of pereonite 1; and uropods which do not extend past the pleotelson posterior margin.
Pillai (1954) recorded the Codonophilus imbricatus from Parexocoetus brachypterus (Richardson, 1846), India. Recently, Codonophilus imbricatus was synonymized with C. trigonocephala by Martin et al. (2015a). No Indian specimens were found, fresh or from museum collections, that could be identified as C. trigonocephala, and the species is here excluded from the Indian fauna.
Distribution. Most records of C. trigonocephala are now regarded as uncertain (Hadfield et al. 2014a; Martin et al. 2015a) and the distribution of this species remains unknown.
Hosts. There are currently no confirmed hosts for this species (Hadfield et al. 2014a; Martin et al. 2015a).

description: 11. Parena latecincta species group
This species group contains four species distributed in East Asia, south slope of the Himalayan Range, north part of Indochina Peninsula, the Philippines, and northern Borneo. This group is characterized in the subgenus Parena by: postgenae without suborbital setae; elytra entirely metallic green or with metallic green lateral stripes; males with or without adhesive setae on ventral surface of mesotarsomere 1; male genitalia with stout median lobe, apical lamella thick in lateral view, apex not bent dorsally; endophallus with large flared basal expansion of primary sclerite; gonocoxite II of ovipositor slightly pointed near apical inner angle, ensiform setae grouped near apical angles. This species group is presumed to be close to the P. nigrolineata group for their similar general appearance, absence of suborbital setae, and similar features in gonocoxite II of ovipositor.

Protest in Syria (2010 -2013)

description: The ongoing crisis in Syria represents the most recent in a series of disruptive conflicts in the Middle East.  The region has experienced both violent and nonviolent upheavals. Nonviolent protests have toppled regimes in Tunisia and Egypt, while violent protest toppled the regime in Libya as Syria grapples with a civil war in its third year. Employing the theoretical lens of political process theory, Syria in particular is examined as a unique case in which a multiplicity of uncoordinated non-state actors possessed of a specific agenda and ideological orientation have created a challenging situation that is difficult to resolve and in which violence was and remains inevitable.  The dissertation finds answers to why protests erupted in Syria and why protests shifted from nonviolence to violence. The central theme of the dissertation is to identify theoretical and practical inferences, while using a comparative framework and a case study of the complexity of the crisis in Syria – which serves as the focal point of the study. References to other cases are included as a foundation for a statistical assessment of the unique Syrian case.  The dissertation supports the grievance, political opportunities and resource mobilization arguments to explain why citizens protested. Economic grievances in all the cases are rooted in corruption, income inequality, unemployment and the lack of opportunities. Political grievances connect people to exclusion from political power and a desire for democracy. To explain protests in the region, the dissertation draws on the literature of mobilization, revolution, repertoires of contention, social media, youth bulge, and unemployment and regime type to test two grievance based hypothesis and one violence based hypothesis. The dissertation concludes that protests in all cases are associated with socioeconomic and socio-political grievances. There is also evidence that the nature of violence is linked to the function of regime and security force type. Most significantly, the study reveals that in the case of Syria, an authoritarian, exclusivist regime created and maintains the environment in which opposition was inevitable and in which a violent response was predictable
Beyond marriage

description: Public and political discourse around the rights of LGBTQ people have increased over the past several decades. The focus on rights and equality have primarily focused on achieving marriage equality (typically referred to as ‘gay marriage’). The existence of marriage equality laws within a country is then typically used to judge whether LGBTQ people have achieved equality or not. The focus on marriage equality is not only misleading but also extremely problematic. Marriage equality laws are extremely limited in the actual rights they provide LGBTQ people, and are often exclusionary of many different intersecting identities. Further, the existence of marriage equality laws do not guarantee the elimination of the discrimination and violence that LGBTQ people face both within the United States and globally. This paper looks to critically analyze the gaps within marriage equality frameworks both within the United States and within international institutions, and challenge the problematic notion of the achievement of equality through the existence and representation of marriage equality laws.

Rebuilding the social fabric

description: How does corruption become socialized? Corruption is a major global problem. The effects are devastating. Corruption undermines rule of law, breaks down the social fabric of society, erodes morality and positive values systems. It significantly undermines public trust in institutions and their leaders. On a societal level, the pervasiveness of corruption within a society can lead to an increase in negative structural and systemic practices as well as encourage individual corrupt behavior that ultimately erodes public morality. Considering these reasons and more, this dissertation analyzes the role academic dishonesty in institutions of education plays in normalizing deviant behavior, which may result in the socialization of corruption.
