Economic Benefits of New Americans in East Grand Forks
No full textIn recent years, an increasing number of New Americans have been calling East Grand Forks home. When they move to East Grand Forks, they typically bring their families and begin working in the community, both of which can bring economic benefits to the area. For purposes of this report, Extension is primarily focusing on New Americans that originate from Africa.US Economic Development AdministrationTuck, Brigid; Bhattacharyya, Rani. (2025).

Determining the effect of gradual sugar reduction on liking of sweetened iced tea July 2019
No full textBy gradually reducing sugar in sweetened iced tea over time: 1. Will liking ratings change? 2. How will liking ratings compare to a no reduction of sugar group? 3. Will liking for lower levels of added sugar increase? 4. Will the ideal level of sweetness in iced tea decrease? Liking ratings decreased equally for both groups; The number of calories consumed decreased. The ideal level of sweetness and the acceptable range of sweetness did not change after gradually reducing sugar.Sugar-sweetened beverages are major sources of added sugar intake. Recommendations for decreasing added sugar intake include reducing the amount of sugar in beverages. A proposed method to reduce sugar is gradual sugar reduction. A concern with gradual sugar reduction is that it would decrease consumer’s liking and ultimately lead to loss of sales and consumers switching back to higher sugar levels. By gradually reducing sugar in sweetened iced tea over time: 1. Will liking ratings change? 2. How will liking ratings compare to a no reduction of sugar group? 3. Will liking for lower levels of added sugar increase? 4. Will the ideal level of sweetness in iced tea decrease? Liking ratings decreased equally for both groups; The number of calories consumed decreased. The ideal level of sweetness and the acceptable range of sweetness did not change after gradually reducing sugar.This research was funded by the Healthy Foods, Healthy Lives Institute, and Sensory Center in the Department of Food Science & Nutrition at the University of Minnesota.

My UMD Course Literacy, Technology, and Society, and Walter J. Ong's Thought
No full textSee the above abstract.In my 3,987-word review essay "My UMD Course Literacy, Technology, and Society, and Walter J. Ong's Thought," I discuss the thought of the American Jesuit scholar Walter J. Ong (1912-2003; Ph.D. in english, Harvard University, 1955) of Saint Louis University, the Jesuit university in the City of St. Louis, Missouri (USA), where, over the years, I took five courses from him. I also discuss my highly productive years of teaching at the University of Minnesota Duluth (September 1987 to May 2009). In addition, I discuss the introductory-level reading-intensive survey course Literacy, Technology, and Society that I originated at UMD -- which is still offered at UMD. In "Appendix One," I present the syllabus of my course Literacy, Technology, and Society. In "Appendix Two," i present the final exam in my course Literacy, Technology, and Society.N/AFarrell, Thomas. (2025). My UMD Course Literacy, Technology, and Society, and Walter J. Ong's Thought.

The Human Presence of Legacy News on Social Media Platforms
No full textThis research focuses on two key dimensions: the prevalence of on-screen speakers and the variety of video formats utilized. A dataset of 160 videos, with 80 from each category, was collected and analyzed. The methodology employed a two-proportion Z-test to compare on-screen speaker presence and a Pearson's Chi-square test to examine differences in video format distribution. Findings revealed a statistically significant divergence in content strategies. Influencers featured a main speaker on screen in a majority of their videos, a rate substantially higher than the 53.75% observed in legacy news content. Furthermore, a significant difference was found in video formats (p < 0.001), with influencers exclusively using "Report" and "Detailed Report" styles, while legacy organizations employed a wider array of formats, including "Press Conference" and "Raw Footage with Text Overlay." These results suggest a fundamental shift in digital news delivery, where influencers prioritize a personalized, narrative-driven approach to build parasocial relationships and foster audience trust, contrasting with legacy media's retention of formats that emphasize direct documentation of events. The study’s findings highlight a critical tension between the demands of engaging short-form video and traditional journalistic practices, with important implications for information literacy and the spread of misinformation in the evolving news ecosystem.This research was supported by the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP).Marse, Atticus.
