Blameworthiness toward sex trafficked persons: the effects of empathy, bias, and sexual self-acceptance
No full textSex trafficked individuals face blame because the public tends to conflate sex trafficking with prostitution, which is subjected to a lack of social empathy given the belief that prostitution is a choice. Although some choose to enter prostitution, others are forced into the sex trade by trafficking but are shamed, and ashamed, for not preventing victimization. There has also been a history of criminalizing Black individuals more so than White peers. Previous research has focused on empathy toward sex crime victims in various scenarios, but there lacks evaluation of participant empathy and personal sexual acceptance, that may affect blameworthiness toward sex trafficked affected individuals specifically. This study explores this topic by randomizing vignette scenarios that depict different races of women to assess perceived blameworthiness of sex trafficked persons based on participants empathic traits, racial attitudes, attitudes toward sex trafficking, and sexual self-acceptance
Virtual networking cybersecurity and vulnerabilities in cloud computing applications: a systematic review
No full textNumerous methodologies for modeling cybersecurity defense have been developed using tree structures, matrices, and techniques proposed by several firms and industries. These approaches model actions that can be taken to attack secure infrastructures and other resources using strategic and tactical means to stop them. This paper builds on MITRE ATT&CK matrices' prior efforts to combine the components needed to address our uniquely specific and growing concern about virtual network infrastructure security. The matrix of strategy and tactics addresses a generalized solution for modeling framework/paradigm-based attacks that go beyond deploying a single exploit against a single identified target. The construction and defense of a well-defined virtual network server, its workstations, and all other infrastructures are looked at and dissected in detail for clarification. Strategies address the File Allocation Table (FAT)1/physical server and the Virtual server interfaces and the unique construction of workstations built in sterile environments at different levels of detail. SDN architecture decision-making is also critical to a software system's success as it sets the system's structure, determines its qualities, and has far-reaching consequences throughout the system life cycle2. Our review incorporates the currently existing services of MITRE ATT&CK Matrix tactics and mitigations into the ever-expanding world of virtual networking and its interface with cloud-based applications. This effort attempts to stimulate more research attention to these issues in future VMware, OpenFlow, and SDN development and where it fits into the MITRE ATT&CK Matrix

Oral memoirs of Ilse Williams: An interview conducted on February 7, 2023
No full textIncludes photograph and transcripts.contained in: Greatest Generation Oral History ArchiveIlse Williams was born in Cuxhaven, Germany in 1952. Eight years later, her family moved to Hanover, Germany. She lived there until she was twenty when she moved to the United States for her studies and eventually married a West Texas farmer. She graduated from Angelo State University in December of 1976 with a degree in English. After working a few odd jobs, being a mother, and working as a graduate assistant, she received her Masters's Degree in 1990 from ASU. Her primary connection to the WWII period is through her parents' experiences. She recounted that her parents were young teenagers in 1933, and so they were prime candidates for "conversion". She explained that many people involved in conflicts, like her parents, were often silent about their experiences. She recounted different intentional parts of her parents’ childhood that her father tied together later in his life. She revealed that her father was involved in the invasion of Poland and the German Atlantic coast in 1942-43. She noted that her father was interned between the end of the war and 1948. She explained that the time between 1945 and 1948 has been remembered as the worst years for Germany.San Angelo Area Foundatio

The impact of transformational leadership on collegiate athlete performance
No full textThis study investigates the relationship between transformational leadership and collegiate athlete performance. In an organizational setting, performance is impacted by leadership, but different types of leadership, exhibited by supervisors, affects the level of performance differently (Lee & Ding, 2020; Mehta, Dubinsky, & Anderson, 2003). Instead of this research focusing on an organizational context, it is applied in a sports context. We hypothesized transformational leadership will be correlated to performance, and cohesion and motivation will be significant mediators in the relationship. To understand this phenomenon, a Qualtrics survey was developed to collect information from past athletes. The survey was distributed on Amazon's MTurk online service. Each participant was asked to complete an informed consent form, demographic questions, and six other questionnaires. The results of this study found evidence that transformational leadership is positively related to individual (r = 0.61) and team performance (r = 0.58). Additionally, intrinsic motivation partially mediated the relationship between transformational leadership and individual performance. Cohesion, as a mediator, did not have a significant indirect effect on individual performance (b = 2.40e-4, p > .05). The same results were found when team performance was used as the dependent variable. This means cohesion is not a significant mediator in this study. The null effects regarding cohesion could be due to the participants' not being active current participants in sports. Future studies should use a current collegiate athletes sample and investigate collegiate athletes' preferences and attitudes toward a coach's leadership style
