Development and evaluation of a hands-on culinary education program for youth
No full textThe vast majority of American youth consume unhealthy diets and do not meet national nutrition recommendations. Participation in cooking and food preparation is associated with healthy dietary behaviors for individuals of all ages, likely because home cooked foods tend to be healthier than pre-prepared alternatives. Societal level declines in cooking behaviors and skills in recent decades have made decreased the likelihood that children will learn how to cook at home or in school. In response to these findings, many researchers advocate for the increased provision of hands-on cooking programs with youth audiences. The Illinois Junior Chefs (IJC) Program was developed to address concerns of minimal cooking skills and unhealthy dietary intake among low-resource youth. Principles from Social Cognitive Theory and Implementation Science informed both the development of the program and the evaluation methodology. Pre- and post-intervention data were collected through IJC surveys (which measured participants’ cooking self-efficacy, cooking attitudes, fruit and vegetable preferences, cooking behaviors, and healthy eating behaviors). A novel observational protocol was also developed to allow for observational assessment of hands-on assessment of participants’ cooking skills (mixing skills, measuring skills, using a peeler, using a grater, and cracking eggs) pre- and post-intervention. The full analytic sample included 591 participants aged 8-13, and the skills testing assessment was performed with a subgroup of 37 participants. Study findings showed that participants experienced significant improvements in cooking self-efficacy, cooking attitudes, fruit and vegetable preferences, and cooking behaviors, with males experiencing slightly stronger program outcomes than females. All hands-on cooking skills also improved significantly from pre- to post-intervention. Investigation of implementation effects revealed that programs delivered over consecutive days were generally more effective than non-consecutive lessons, teen teachers did not have an effect on program outcomes, and additional hours of programming beyond the minimum of 10 hours had a negative impact on program outcomes. This study demonstrated that participation in the IJC Program results in significant improvements in cooking self-efficacy, cooking attitudes, fruit and vegetable preferences, cooking behaviors, and hands-on cooking skills. These findings support the notion that hands-on culinary education can have a strong positive influence on psychosocial predictors of dietary behaviors in youth.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'Closed Access', the embargo will last until 2021-05-01The student, Jessica Metcalfe, accepted the attached license on 2018-12-13 at 13:31.The student, Jessica Metcalfe, submitted this Dissertation for approval on 2018-12-13 at 13:39.This Dissertation was approved for publication on 2018-12-18 at 16:12.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #13318 on 2019-08-22 at 16:18:16Made available in DSpace on 2019-08-23T20:44:21Z (GMT).

Health Hazard Evaluation Report: HETA-85-408-1666: Doctors Hiatt, Metcalfe, and Schaad; Denver, Colorado
No full textNitrous-oxide (10024972) concentrations in office air were measured directly in September of 1985, and a follow up environmental survey was made in January 1986 at the Hiatt, Metcalfe, and Schaad dental clinic (SIC-8021), Denver, Colorado. The office manager of the clinic had requested an evaluation of nitrous-oxide exposures during dental procedures. General area samples were taken on the nitrous- oxide administering equipment throughout the dental operatory, in the secretarial work area, and in the breathing zone of the two dental hygienists. Concentrations ranging from 100 to greater than 1000 parts per million (ppm) were found. The average nitrous-oxide concentration was approximately 500 to 600ppm in the breathing zone of the hygienists during the cleaning procedure. Hygienists used 3.5 to 4.5 liters of nitrous oxide per minute. Nitrous-oxide concentrations in the secretarial areas were 350 to 400ppm while the hygienists were using the gas. NIOSH recommended a 25ppm environmental limit for nitrous oxide. The author concludes that a health hazard exists from overexposures to nitrous oxide. A nitrous- oxide scavenging system, lower flow rates, and a better dilution ventilation system are recommended to lower these exposure concentrations
Minority Women, Rights and Intersectionality
No full textThis collection focuses on minority women through the perspectives of minority rights and intersectionality to investigate key concepts such as discrimination, inequality, agency, participation, resistance, and solidarity while also unpacking dynamics of power. It presents diverse grounded empirical cases drawing on field research and data collection while offering a global perspective that explores intersectionality and its effects on minority women ascribed alternately by nationality, religion, ethno-culture, gender, migration background, and race in seven countries as well as in digital and international political spaces. The authors include legal scholars, political scientists, sociologists, and anthropologists who study inequality, minority rights, race and gender issues, and the digital sphere. This interdisciplinary concatenation of authors offers an advantage when working at the junction between intersectionality and minority rights. Interdisciplinary in approach, the book will be of interest to researchers, academics, and policy-makers working in the areas of Human Rights Law, Minority Rights, Gender Studies, Political Science, Social and Cultural Anthropology, and Sociology.

The progress of female police officers?An empirical analysis of organisational commitment and tenure explanations in two UK police forces
No full textPurpose of paper.
Although the number of women in UK police forces has grown rapidly, it appears that they continue to be under-represented in senior ranks. This research paper aims to establish empirically whether there is any foundation in the premise that female officers' lesser tenure and or lower levels of commitment than men explain their lack of career progress.
Methodology.
Using whole population surveys of two county police in the UK we compare the promotion of men and women police officers controlling for tenure. We then compare the organisational commitment of male and female officers and analyse whether female officers experience managerial and organisational influences that undermine their organisational commitment compared to men.
Findings.
The findings refute some of the widespread beliefs about reasons for female officers’ lack of progress in their policing careers since the analysis indicates that gender differences in length of tenure and organisational commitment can be discounted as possible explanations for lack of advancement in these two police forces. Overall, our results clearly show that female officers are just as committed as male officers and thus cannot be justified as a reason for lack of career progression. Managerial variables were found to be the strongest influence on organisational commitment and it appeared that there was no evidence that management support or organisational support were different for female officers compared to their male colleagues.
Research Implications/Limitations.
We accept that survey methods such as ours do not capture the entirety of employee feelings and responses since they tend to homogenise male and female working experiences. However, survey methods do have the advantage that it is possible to generalise from the results and thus these two studies allow us to suggest that our findings can be viewed as providing insights to other UK police forces in particular and to the broader field of the antecedents of organisational commitment in general.
Practical implications.
The relatively low levels of organisational commitment found should be a cause for concern for senior managers in the Police. The key importance that management has in influencing organisational commitment has been shown by our findings and this indicates the importance of the current Police Leadership Development Board’s agenda to improve workforce management skills to encourage transformational leadership styles. Moreover, there clearly remains much to be done to make police HRM policies more effective in achieving equality in promotion opportunities since the data presented shows that women’s careers are lagging behind even when tenure is taken into account.
Value and originality of the paper. The paper make an original contribution by refuting widely held assumptions about the reasons for under-representation of female officers in senior ranks. It also contributes to the sparse literature that examines organisational commitment in the police and its antecedents

Author(ity): The Literature Review as Expert Witnesses
No full textThis paper is about using evidence from previous authors; literature reviews. This has already been done, for example by WEBSTER and WATSON (2002) in the journal MISQ and LATOUR (1987) in "Science in Action," but the former used the root metaphor of the previous literature being objective facts (truthful sign posts) towards empirics while LATOUR used the root metaphor of references ganging up on the reader to persuade. This paper will provide a middle road on the same topic using the root metaphor of the courtroom. Revealing and justifying alternative root metaphors is central to interpretive research. Therefore, presentation of these different interpretations of the same topic (literature reviews) provides a unique opportunity to appreciate "seeking interpretations" as a research methodology. Readers are advised to read these two other interpretations as well as this paper, noting how a different root metaphor can lead to very different appreciation of a situation. Therefore, and more specifically, this paper will argue for social inquiry researchers to adopt the root metaphor of considering literature reviews to be the calling upon expert witnesses to provide supporting or counter evidence justifying their paper's conclusion. It will present and demonstrate the courtroom as a root metaphor.
