Exploring the Perceptions of Recent High School Graduates Regarding Pk-12 School Safety Measures Considering Increased Occurrences of Mass School Shootings: A Q Method Study
Get PDFSchool violence and mass school shootings are increasing at an alarming rate in our nation (Arnold, 2015; Ash & Sanders, 2018; Baird, Roellke, & Zeifman, 2017; Beland & Kim, 2016; De Apodaca, Brighton, Perkins, Jackson, & Steege, 2012; Duplechain & Morris, 2016; Elliott, 2015; Gerard, Whitefield, Porther, & Browne, 2016; Haan & Mays, 2013; Jonson, 2017). Institutions of learning that were once deemed safe and sacred have turned into metaphorical and literal battlegrounds (Jonson, 2017). As a result of the increased risk of mass school shootings many states have implemented laws to assist in implementing more rigid safety measures within the school setting, this is often referred to as school hardening. There has been research conducted regarding the effectiveness of these school hardening campaigns and it seems that these school hardening campaigned are counter intuitive to what their purpose serves (Cuellar et al., 2018; Lamoreaux & Sulkowski, 2019; Mann & Brock, 2020).
This dissertation is a Q methodological study that aims to explore the perspectives of recent high school graduates on the effect that school hardening campaigns had on their K-12 experiences. These perceptions were collected form 61 participants that sorted a Q Sort with 37 items in the Q Set. Data analysis was conducted and themes from the analysis were fashioned and dissected. From these factor profiles, recommendations for future research and implementation strategies were suggested
Confocal analysis of Sindbis virus in Aedes aegypti unveils novel infection site at pyloric armature
Get PDFArthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses), such as Sindbis virus (SINV), generate foci of infection within the midgut of viremic blood-fed mosquitoes. Arboviruses can disseminate out of the midgut into the surrounding musculature and hemolymph, eventually making it to the salivary glands where virus can be transmitted by saliva during a subsequent blood-feed. In this study, the virus SINV containing the reporter gene GFP, combined with immunohistochemistry, was imaged using confocal microscopy and used to evaluate the infection within the vector mosquito Aedes aegypti. The spatial distribution of SINV infection revealed two common characteristics of foci generated in the midgut. (1) There is a more diffuse area of SINV proteins in comparison to GFP left behind from the virus and (2) foci contain accumulations of viral proteins. When analyzing SINV infection over 30 days, it was determined that infection within the first ten days resulted in foci within the gut, occasionally with dissemination into the surrounding muscles. In contrast, viral infection observed at later time points were constricted to smaller areas. Additionally, a novel infection site for SINV was identified at the pyloric armature of Ae. aegypti. Located between the midgut and hindgut segments, the pyloric armature aids in filtering, concentrating, and pumping of bloodmeals by using internal chitin micro spines and striate muscles. There was an absence of midgut foci when the pyloric armature, however, associated gut muscles were infected by SINV. This research details the characteristics of viral pathogenesis within tissues over the course of 30 days and proposes that the pyloric armature is a distinct gut segment that can serve as a site for arbovirus infection and dissemination
Truth and Consequences: Internal Stakeholder Perception of Higher Education Leadership Crisis Communication Competence During the COVID-19 Pandemic
No full textThis exploratory mixed methods case study examined internal stakeholder’s perceptions of internally distributed COVID- 19 related crisis communication during the three stages of crisis (Coombs, 2019): pre-crisis (January to March 2020), crisis event (March 2020 to May 2021), and post-crisis (June 2021 to March 2022). The COVID-19 pandemic was an unforeseen crisis with yet unknown lasting impacts on institutions of higher education. Internal stakeholder perception of leaderships’ communication competence during a crisis event, and the leadership communication challenges during a world-wide pandemic are new areas of research (Bohn, 2022; Çelebi, et al., 2018; Coombs, 2010; Jong, 2020) It was important examine perceptions because the preponderance of literature had been written about requisite skills for engaging in quality leadership (Argyris & Schön, 1974; Bass, 1990; Maxwell, 1998; Northouse, 2010; Spillane, 2006) and about the qualities, such as openness, supportiveness, honesty, consistency, transparent, etc., that demonstrate leadership communication competence (Arokiasamy, et al., 2019; Bouilloud, et al., 2019; Johansson, et al., 2013; Üstüner & Kiş, 2014; Veil, et al., 2017). This study sought to contribute additional knowledge on internal stakeholder perceptions of leadership crisis communication competence and the challenges inherent in developing and delivering quality crisis communication not only during a pandemic, but in the midst of whatever crisis du jour affects a college campus (Coombs, 2000; Gigliotti, 2020; Talu & Nazarov, 2021
