Developing a Theoretical Methodology for Assessing Phishing Susceptibility in an Academic Context
Full text linkThe objective of this paper is to summarize the findings of earlier phishing susceptibility research in the academic context. It will further use these findings to create a theoretical methodology to obtain better results that can verify the statement that university students are more tech savvy and thus less susceptible to phishing than the general population. Since the proposed methodology has a negative goal (debunk earlier statements), it is also important that other parameters are included in the research methodology (e.g. sex, race, age, background, technical environment, social aspects, etc.). When executed, the research results could contribute to the creation of a new or better phishing awareness program for college students
Cultural Strategies for Teaching in Spanish Immersion Elementary School Library and Media
Full text linkIn this starred paper, adequate cultural strategies are presented in Hispanic culture and with bilingual teachers, immersed in the Spanish language, with which students can recognize themselves and achieve more meaningful learning are presented.
It analyzes how the immersion library programs encompass content mostly in the English language, showing a disadvantage for immersed librarian media specialist teachers, who require linguistic strategies and know how to land the six AASL standards and the goals of The World-Readiness Standards for Learning Languages, in schools that span two languages at the same time.
It examines the data about instruction through the immersion language during the library class for second grade in an Elementary school. Likewise, the integrated Spanish language teaching within the library classroom is analyzed, and presents cultural teaching strategies based on six Standards of the American Association of School Librarians (AASL) and the goals of The World-Readiness Standards for Learning Languages
An invisible but obvious ailment
Full text linkIn this article, I chronicle my experience with a gradually worsening mysterious and debilitating chronic illness. Through chance, I learned I was experiencing perimenopause. I challenge the silence around perimenopause and menopause, and also the mores that dictate how scientific writing discusses conditions for which robust published evidence often does not exist (typically conditions affecting women)
Archival Collection Management Systems: Lessons from the Field
Full text linkThis presentation focused on determining the need for an archives collection management system (CMS), questions to ask if a CMS is appropriate for an institution, and questions regarding CMS functions and capabilities. It discussed the implementation of two CMS for the St. Cloud State University Archives, including to Archon and from Archon to Access to Memory (AtoM). The presentation also covers how data was extracted, transformed, and loaded (migrated) into AtoM
Which Apples Save the Barrel? Big Five Personality and Whistleblowing, Confrontation, and Informal Ethical Voice at Work
Full text linkThe purpose of this study was to further explore already examined relationships between the Big Five and whistleblowing, as well as between the Big Five and three newer conceptualizations of ethical voice (prohibitive ethical voice, promotive ethical voice, and direct confrontation) for the first time. An online survey led to the collection of information on personality, intentions/behaviors, and demographic/control variables for 243 people, 105 of whom were observers of wrongdoing in organizations. Results suggested that Extraversion is the Big Five dimension with the most predictive ability for ethical voice behaviors in the face of wrongdoing at work, followed by Agreeableness and Openness. However, lack of support for many hypotheses, results for some control variables, and the differences in findings for intentions and behaviors suggest potential importance of variables beyond the Big Five in determining how individuals respond to unethical, illegal, and/or illegitimate behaviors
Sculpting the Uncommon: Exploring the Enigma of the Boller Site Platter
Full text linkThe Boller site in Mercer County, North Dakota is a Post-Contact Plains Village period earth lodge village that was occupied around 1785-1800 by Mandan people. An abundance of different artifact types have been recovered from the site, however, one ceramic vessel stands out as unique—the Boller Site Platter. Common types of pottery found in the region include Knife River ware, LeBeau ware, Fort Yates, and Riggs types with limited decoration including cord impressions, finger impressions, pinching, or short incised lines along the rim and/or neck (Fern Swenson, personal communication 2019; Cox et al. 2015). None of these types are consistent with the form and decoration of the Boller Site Platter, which is thick-walled, shallow, wide-rimmed, with no neck, and shows quadripartite interior incised line decoration. The primary goal of this project was to determine whether or not the Boller Site Platter was originally produced in the area of the Boller site and answer key questions about why this vessel looks so glaringly different from the other ceramic artifacts recovered from the Boller Village Site

Hungry Minds: Food Insecurity, Self-Stigma, and Campus Food Pantry Utilization
Full text linkThe prevalence of food insecurity among college students remains higher than the national average, negatively impacting their academic success and personal well-being. To mitigate these impacts, over 800 campuses nationwide have implemented food pantries. However, many students do not utilize these resources due to social and structural barriers, with stigma being the most commonly reported obstacle. Although stigma has been identified as a barrier to accessing food support through campus pantries, limited studies examine the stigma associated with the experience of food insecurity.
This quantitative study addresses this gap by exploring the prevalence of food insecurity, associated self-stigma, and the psychosocial experience of using a campus food pantry at a public regional comprehensive university in the Midwest. Data was collected using the Six-Item Short Form of the Food Security Survey Module, the Food Insecurity Self-Stigma Scale (FISS), and the Food Support Experiences Scale (FSES).
The study found that 45.3% of students experience food insecurity, with significant disparities among students of color, international students, and Pell Grant recipients. Students reported moderate food insecurity self-stigma, particularly around stereotype endorsement. The study also highlights the underutilization of campus food pantries by students with food insecurity. A correlation analysis indicates a relationship between self-stigma focused on righteous anger and positive perceptions of pantry experiences. However, self-stigma was not a reliable predictor of pantry utilization, suggesting other social or structural barriers may be more influential.
Understanding the impact of stigma on accessing food support and experiencing food insecurity can inform outreach and marketing strategies to improve pantry access for students facing food insecurity
A COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW OF JITTER, SHIMMER, AND HNR: LINGUISTIC AND PARALINGUISTIC APPLICATIONS
Full text linkJitter, shimmer, and Harmonics-to-Noise Ratio (HNR) are three acoustic parameters that provide information about sub-phonetic characteristics of a speaker’s voice. They have been deemed invaluable in pathological voice diagnoses, speech synthesis, voice biometrics, speech signal processing, and animal bioacoustics. There are even claims that one of them or a combination of the three plays a significant role in infant cry bioacoustics. Linguists are yet to tap into the potential that these three parameters offer for the classification of phonation types. This paper reviews the expansive literature and provides objective Just Noticeable Difference (JND) thresholds that can be leveraged to account for linguistic analyses of non-pathological voice qualities
A PSYCHOACOUSTIC FRAMEWORK FOR THE QUANTITATIVE STUDY OF INTONATION PATTERNS AND TENDENCIES
Full text linkThe findings of most studies of intonation are not generalizable because they fail to meet the minimum requirement of 10 participants (Atal 1972). The current paper applies the methodology discussed in Koffi (2023) to demonstrate how psychoacoustic modeling can be used to study intonation quantitatively. To this end, the intonation of 12 speakers of American English who produced is analyzed. Pitch/F0, sonority/intensity, and rhythmicity/duration measurements are extracted, and calculations based on Just Noticeable Difference (JND) thresholds and relative functional loads (RFL) are made. The Generalizability Theory (G-theory) is used to help discover various tendencies in intonation. The findings to be discussed are based on 1,728 measured tokens (8 words x 6 interlexical links x 3 correlates x 12 participants). The paper pioneers a psychoacoustic framework for studying intonation quantitatively
