Agreement Between Methods for Describing the Intensity of a High Intensity Functional Training Workout
Get PDFThis study examined whether a speed-based metric, expressed as percent of maximal speed (%MS), could serve as a practical and accurate method for quantifying intensity in high-intensity functional training (HIFT). Traditional intensity markers—heart rate (HR), blood lactate concentration ([La-]), and rating of perceived exertion (RPE)—were compared to %MS during low- and high-volume (LV, HV) workouts using a combination of correlation and agreement analyses. Twelve males and twelve females completed a baseline assessment followed by two experimental workout sessions. Participants wore HR monitors, provided pre- and post-exercise [La-] samples and RPE scores, and performed maximal speed tests for each workout movement. Spearman correlations and Bland-Altman plots were used to evaluate relationships and agreement between %MS and traditional markers. Results indicated weak agreement between %MS and HR, RPE, and [La-]. The best-performing indicator was single round %MS, which demonstrated stronger and more consistent relationships with movement-based metrics than with internal physiological markers. Power Clean (PC) %1-RM also emerged as a potential screening tool for predicting pacing strategy. These findings suggest that round %MS may offer a field-ready, scalable option for tracking workout intensity, particularly when traditional lab-based metrics are unavailable or impractical

ONEMONEY - A Design Science Research Artifact for Mobile Remittances From the USA to Zambia
Get PDFWithin the context of global mobile money providers (MMPs) like Western Union, bill payment has become a prominent offering with a transaction volume of $88 billion between MMPs and service providers like utility companies. There are, however, currently no MMP offerings or remittance services that specifically allow Zambians in the US diaspora (remitters) to make direct bill payments to service providers in Zambia for essential goods and services like food, education services, or utilities consumed by their friends and families still living in Zambia. To address this gap, the study introduces OneMoney, a mobile application prototype developed to facilitate direct bill payments from remitters in the US diaspora to service providers in Zambia. The scope of the study is focused on the remitter’s usability experience with the prototype, of which the study identified seven key usability attributes that enhanced their user experience. Overall, users found the prototype intuitive and easy to use and gave it a usability score of 92.95 out of 100. The study used the Cognitive Walkthrough and System Usability Scale evaluation methods to evaluate the usability of the prototype. The design science research (DSR) methodology guided the development and evaluation of the prototype through the Mental Modal theoretical lens. This study is significant because it provides a proof of concept that remitters in the US diaspora can utilize the prototype to make direct bill payments to service providers in Zambia for goods and services consumed by their beneficiaries. Future research will examine the usability of the prototype from the beneficiary’s perspective
Enhancing Access and User Engagement through the Implementation of the Library Mobile App
Get PDFMobile applications (apps) are prevalent across all sectors, including libraries. Today, libraries are in-creasingly adopting mobile technologies to enhance the delivery of resources and services to smartphone and tablet users (Singh & Madhusudhan, 2023). This article presents a case study of the implementation of the Ex Libris Library Mobile App by the Woodward Library at Austin Peay State University (APSU) to improve access to library resources, enhance service delivery, and promote user interaction. The article discusses the app platform, design features, the app’s benefits, and the various resources and services made available through the app. It also highlights the app promotion strategies, analysis of usage data, and lessons learned from the implementation project. The article aims to offer valuable insights for li-braries looking to implement library mobile apps

Pre-K–12 Teachers’ Views on ASD+ADHD: Prevalence Estimates and Teaching Preparedness
Get PDFBackground/Objectives: Teachers play a significant role in the identification and intervention of neurodevelopmental disorders such as ASD and ADHD. However, their perceptions of ASD+ADHD comorbidity remain underexplored. This study investigates teachers’ estimates of ASD+ADHD prevalence and their perceived preparedness to teach students with co-occurring diagnoses, exploring key predictors of both outcomes. Methods: Pre-K-12 teachers (N = 199) completed demographic questions and four additional questionnaires assessing ASD- and ADHD-specific knowledge, neurodiversity attitudes and overall teaching self-efficacy. Participants estimated the prevalence of ASD+ADHD comorbidity and rated their preparedness to instruct students with ASD+ADHD, ASD-only, and ADHD-only. Regression analyses examined factors predicting prevalence estimates and preparedness. Results: Teachers underestimated the lifetime prevalence of ASD+ADHD, though current prevalence estimates were more aligned with meta-analytic findings. Personal experience and current teaching of comorbid students predicted higher prevalence estimates, whereas greater ASD knowledge was associated with lower estimates. Preparedness to teach ASD+ADHD was rated lower than for ASD-only or ADHD-only students. Self-efficacy, neurodiversity attitudes, and professional training were predictors of preparedness. Current teaching of comorbid students, disorder-specific knowledge, and total years of teaching experience showed inconsistent associations across conditions. Conclusions: Findings suggest that while direct experience and training enhance both awareness and preparedness, disorder-specific knowledge alone does not consistently translate to confidence in supporting students with co-occurring diagnoses. Implications for teacher training and the need for comorbidity-focused professional development are discussed
Paris Trip Blog: The Codex Pérez and the UNESCO conference on language technologies
No full textGaspar Tomas discusses his trip to Paris, where he attended the UNESCO conference on language technologies. Gaspar has long studied and lived within Maya cosmology; thus he also visited the Codex Pérez. Gaspar explains that technology can and must be employed in the preservation of Indigenous languages. In his own words: “Just as our ancestors once protected our languages, we must remember that ancestral knowledge is not lost; it simply waits to be reclaimed. The responsibility now lies with us to preserve, promote, and archive our voices to shape our future better.
The Atlanta University Center (AUC) Robert W. Woodruff Library Takes Its Annual International Games Day to a Whole New Level
Get PDFThe Atlanta University Center Robert W. Woodruff Library successfully expanded its 2024 International Games Day (IGD) into a two-day event featuring gaming recreation and career-focused programming that included presentations from faculty, students, and industry professionals on topics ranging from VR projects and esports to digital humanities and professional streaming. Through enhanced campus partnerships and targeted outreach, the event achieved a 21.1% increase in attendance with 230 total participants and high satisfaction ratings, demonstrating how academic libraries can effectively engage their communities through programming that combines recreational gaming with professional development in emerging technology fields
