Motivations and Challenges for African International Students in Choosing On-Campus Housing and Transitioning Off-Campus
Full text linkThe findings of this qualitative phenomenological study explained the motives and challenges faced by African international students (n = 10) who initially chose to live on-campus and subsequently transitioned to off-campus accommodations. The research was conducted through semistructured interviews with African international students who were currently enrolled at a predominantly White institution in the Midwestern United States, discussing their experiences with housing, cultural adjustment, and financial constraints. Although the initial choices to stay on-campus stem from convenience and institutional support, various challenges pushed the students toward going off-campus. To begin with, the costliness of staying in an institution may be exorbitant for them. Such institutions at times prove to be culturally insensitive or socially alienating. Shifting off-campus, while involving difficulties of logistics, has all the advantages of affordability and cultural comfort. These facts therefore pointed toward the urgent necessity for adopting culturally sensitive affordable housing policy on the part of each university with the aim to accommodate different students’ requirements. Other implications included the facilitation of inclusivity through focused supporting programs and the informing of future accommodation policy decisions in relation to international students

A High Resolution Photographic Guide for Identifying Fiddler Crabs from the Shores of the Atlantic Ocean
Full text linkThe aim of this project is to make high-resolution images of the 23 species of fiddler crabs inhabiting coastal regions of Europe, East Africa, North America, Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean, and South America. So that these can be used by anyone to identify species, the images will be published on the UNI - Rod Library ScholarWorks webpage (https://scholarworks.uni.edu/) and publicly available on the World Wide Web
Hireability of Female Hispanic Applicants by Accent/Career Type and Participant First Language
No full textThis study will add to the literature by testing the perceptions of Hispanic accents and how they differ based on a participants’ first language and the stereotypicality of the job for which the candidate applied. These results could assist women with accents in the workplace and add information on intersectionality of gender, ethnicity, and accent discrimination. People with foreign accents are regarded as less hirable for certain jobs in comparison to those with American accents. In this study, participants with either English or Spanish as a first language will evaluate a female candidate who has/does not have a Hispanic accent for a stereotypical or nonstereotypical job

Full text linkAlt Text: Composite photograph of the Minuca minax fiddler crab which includes several black & white images of different views of the crab, a color photograph, and a distribution map.
Composite Image Description: Figure 18. Minuca minax (LeConte, 1855). UNI 562. Collected: Gulf of Mexico, United States, Louisiana, Iberia Parish, Louisa, intracoastal canal bridge on HWY 319 (29.771180, -91.784839). Range: East coast of United States (Cape Cod, MA to northeast Florida) and Gulf coast (west Florida to east Texas). Scale bar = 10mm. (A) Dorsal view. (B) Front view. (C) Inner cheliped. (D) Ocular view. (E) Ambulatory. (F) Comparison of legs between M. minax and M. longisignalis. (G) Color Photo. (H) Distribution Map (Finke 2024).
Species Description: Large species \u3c 39 mm; carapace length 69% width. Frontal region about 40% carapace width (Fig. 18A). Eyestalks very short. Antero-later angle not sharp and turned inward. Lateral margins strongly curve to mid-line of carapace. Dactyl and pollex very thick, heavy appearing (Fig. 18B, C). Articulation joints usually with red pigment (Fig. 18G). Gap large. Dactyl with numerous tubercles along length. Pollex with large central tubercle. Tubercles at distal end forming trifurcation. Upper manus with very large tubercles. Inner manus with definite oblique ridge with tubercles to carpal cavity (Fig. 18C). Ambulatory legs with slim merus; width 39% length. Dorsal surface with thick pile or pubescence. Ventral surface without pile or bristles but numerous long setae (Fig. 18E,F). Species distribution within USA along both Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico coasts (Fig. 18H). In the northern Gulf of Mexico, this species is often confused with M. longisignalis. M. longisignalis has wider merus and pubescence and pile on underside merus (Fig. 18F). Oblique ridge is more distinct in M. minax (Fig. 18C).https://scholarworks.uni.edu/fiddlercrabs/1010/thumbnail.jp

Composite Image Description: Figure 19. Minuca mordax (Smith, 1870). UNI 726. Collected: 12 March 2018, Atlantic Ocean, Trinidad and Tobago, Cocos Bay, Narvia Co., Bush-Bush Wildlife Sanctuary, Mouth Navet River (10.39862, -61,02523). Scale Bar = 10mm. (A) Dorsal view.

Species Description: Species moderate-sized (\u3c 26mm). Carapace smooth without pubescence or pile (Fig. 19A). Length 70% width; frontal region about 40% carapace width. Eyestalks very short. Antero-lateral margins converging to midline. Posterior lateral line strongly converging giving carapace a trapezoid shape. Dactyl and pollex longer than manus (Fig. 19B,C). Gap about same width as base of pollex. Distal dactyl overlaps pollex. Dactyl with low tubercles; one large tubercle at mid-length. Pollex with single large tubercle near mid-length, terminus trifurcated. On inner manus, oblique ridge distinct but tubercles not arranged in a single row. Where ridge meets carpal cavity there are several prominent tubercles. No carina along carpal cavity. Merus of walking legs with pubescence and long setae (Fig. 19A,E). Merus width 33% length. First walking leg with pubescence completely surrounding carpus and propodus (Fig. 19E). Pantropical species collected between the Sittee River, Freetown Area, Belize and Mampituba River, Torres, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Not found on Caribbean islands (Fig. 19G).https://scholarworks.uni.edu/fiddlercrabs/1011/thumbnail.jp
