Input data and final emissions map for calculating the carbon emission cost of the Eagle Creek wildfire
No full textThese data are the input data necessary to perform the analysis described in Estimating the economic value of carbon losses from wildfires using publicly available data sources. A case study of the Eagle Creek Fire, Oregon 2017 , submitted to the journal Earth\u27s Future. They include maps of pre-burn carbon stock, burn severity and final calculated carbon emissions for the 2017 Eagle Creek Fire in the Columbia Gorge
A Pocket of Wind: Methods of Transportable Wind Energy
No full textThis presentation covers the process of designing and building small-scale, portable wind turbines. Rough plans are included for a horizontal-axis wind turbine and a vertical-axis wind turbine, about 6ft tall and able to produce, ideally, at least 5V of DC current. The process of testing a hand-made bridge rectifier is detailed as well as the difficulties encountered.https://pilotscholars.up.edu/ase_internships_2021/1014/thumbnail.jp
Accommodations are Not Charity: Qualitative Analysis and Community Based Participatory Research to Understand and Measure Successful Employment Experience of Autistic People
No full textWe first read and familiarized ourselves with transcripts of the interview data collected by our mentor, Dr. Raymaker. As said before, the data that we coded consisted of 64 interviews with autistic people with skilled training, 11 interviews with supervisors of autistic people and job coaches, and 8 key informant interviews all of whom talked about their own experiences with having autism and finding or working in skilled employment. We then moved on to using qualitative analysis by coding and finding key ideas in what we were analyzing. Then we moved on to creating bigger categories out of the key ideas we found and used verification, which is essentially asking how can we trust what we learned. The five major themes we found are the following: take a holistic approach to career planning and job selection, create neurodiversity-friendly workplace climates, support employee mental health, respect employees for who they are and value their contributions, and explore out-of-the-box and non-traditional solutions.https://pilotscholars.up.edu/ase_internships_2021/1011/thumbnail.jp

Understanding Women’s Experience in Undergraduate Leadership Development Through a Transformative and Intersectional Lens
Get PDFWomen today are completing their undergraduate studies and entering careers during a time of shifting values, systemic barriers, and complex social environments. Undergraduate leadership development may positively influence women’s leadership self-concept, which includes the incorporation of their intersectional social identities with their sense of themselves as leaders. A positive leadership self-concept may empower emerging women leaders to leverage their unique leadership qualities toward overcoming barriers to advancement. This qualitative study employed hermeneutic phenomenology to develop understanding of women’s experience of undergraduate leadership development. The study included semi-structured interviews with 10 women who completed their undergraduate education 2-8 years previously and worked as professionals in higher education in the United States. Further, the study employed a theoretical framework of transformative learning theory (Mezirow, 2018)
and an intersectional lens (Crenshaw, 1989) to understand the connections between transformative experience, identity exploration, and meaningful shifts in leader selfconcept. Findings included a preference for experience-based leadership development, the value of developmental relationships with mentors, role models, and peers, and the importance of ensuring access and promoting balance for undergraduate women. Further findings included evidence of transformative learning as indicated by shifts in participants’ understanding of leadership and their leadership self-concept
Fresh Colours
No full textI went grocery shopping this week at Fred Meyers and noticed many things are increasing in price. What drew my attention was the price differences between organic and non-organic produce. It made me reflect on a class lecture where I learned that in low-income and BIPOC communities, there are many fast food places since people cannot afford healthy, fresh, and organic produce. Living in North Portland outside of campus made me realize that there are not a lot of affordable grocery stores in this area. The one that most college students and locals go to is Fred Meyers or Safeway. The other grocery store I know in this area is New Seasons. However, New Seasons is super expensive. Otherwise, I see there are a lot of fast food and convenience stores. In addition to the lack of healthy food options, this photo also addresses issues around transportation. It is challenging for people to access food in grocery stores due to the distance. Many of the grocery stores in North Portland are located in the gentrifiers\u27 areas and are far from low-income and BIPOC neighborhoods. Using UP students as an example, Fred Meyers is approximately one mile from where most UP students live. The walk to the store is not terrible, but walking back with the items is challenging since it requires extra strength. As for locals who do not have a vehicle, even though there are many buses in the area, the problem is that it can be tough to purchase a lot of items and carry them on the bus.

Ainahau Triangle, Another Park that Closes
No full textI traveled over spring break, and this picture is of a park in Hawai\u27i. Something that was so obvious while we were traveling in the \u27tourist trap\u27 of Waikiki, was how effective the police were at sweeping the houseless people away. Beaches, parks, and any other space you can think of that someone could sleep or rest outdoors were closed during certain hours of the night, often from 10pm-5am. Additionally, there are almost no public restrooms, and there are actually very few public benches to combat houseless people sleeping in this area. This is a prominent example of how there is inaccessibility to resting in the outdoors, even when it is all publicly owned, such as the beaches in Hawai\u27i.
