Book Description:
In the 21st century, shifting workplace demographics, globalization, and the flattening of the world via new communication technologies has ushered in radical changes in our understandings of organizations and their members. Given the interest in engaged scholarship and more flexible and virtual forms within organizational communication, cases in this volume cross over different areas within the field and related disciplines. Furthermore, they cover topics and populations that are increasingly being seen in organizational communication literature. Cases delve into organizing structures, relationships, and visions for global not-for-profits, hybrid, creative industry, and entrepreneurial organizations. Some cases are positive in orientation and display exemplars of organizations that have qualities to emulate. Others display destructive elements and processes (e.g., dysfunctional leadership, workplace bullying). Furthermore, the cases reflect an awareness of the necessity of intercultural communication competencies, emphasizing communication in multicultural contexts (e.g., China, India, Africa, Russia). This book can benefit instructors and students in at least four ways. First, it provides instructors with an application-based teaching tool to help spark discussion. Second, students often find case studies interesting and applicable to their current and future work lives, especially undergraduates who anticipate graduating within the next year or two and entering full-time membership in the labor force. Third, students and instructors note that cases help students grasp course materials that may be otherwise challenging. In their case study learning, students sometimes derive insights, lessons, and strategies that broaden the theoretical and practical implications for which instructors plan. Finally, for graduate students, the book encourages reflection on important topics for future research and provides a resource for making their lessons come alive in classrooms and in other settings.https://digitalcommons.fairfield.edu/communications-books/1022/thumbnail.jp
Synthesis of an enzyme-activated nitric oxide-releasing antibacterial prodrug
No full textIncludes bibliographical references.Bacterial resistance to antibiotics is spreading at an alarming rate, and without the development of new antibiotics, common infections will become deadly. The goal of this project is to synthesize an enzyme-activated antibiotic prodrug that detects and kills bacteria. The antibiotic will incorporate nitric oxide, a known antibacterial agent, and a fluorescent compound to visualize bacterial presence. A synthesis procedure was developed to synthesize a fluorescent compound attached to a small signaling compound. A nitric oxide donor will be added in the future. In the presence of bacteria, the antibiotic prodrug is designed to simultaneously fluoresce and release nitric oxide
The margin and the mainstream : positioning Harry Partch's theories within the broader discourse of musical aesthetics
No full textBibliography: leaves 102-106.The dissertation examines the broader musical value of microtonal composer Harry Partch's musical theories by locating his critique of abstract music within mainstream compositional theory and aesthetics. This contextualisation aims to deconstruct Partch's iconoclastic image so as to understand his contribution within a wider realm of critical discourse. The work of composers that follow in Partch's footsteps becomes important in this context, especially that of his one-time student Ben Johnston whose own microtonal aesthetic is firmly rooted in European aesthetics from Debussy to Schoenberg. By a study of Johnston's utilisation of Partch's theory of just intonation the dissertation attempts to arrive at a more inclusive compositional theory, one which continues to address those aspects of Partch's theories that serve as a valid and constructive critique of traditional musical values. Taking Adorno's view that musical critique must deal with the problem of reification at the level of musical materials, the author proposes a reading of Partch's corporeal philosophy that is applicable beyond the confines of narrative musical drama. By creating a distinction between historical models of organisation and 'second nature' forms of musical presentation, it is suggested that critique does not necessarily prefigure alienation from the mainstream, but can rather be situated within musical discourse in such a way that a new image of the latter's forms results. On a practical level, the dissertation explores the validity of expanded just intonation as a means of achieving this immanent critique, both in the realm of compositional theory and, implicitly, in that of analytical theory, concluding with the description of a tuning system with the capacity to synthesise the range of compositional theories explored
Same Crime, Different Time: Sentencing Disparities in the Deep South & A Path Forward Under the Fourteenth Amendment
No full textThe United States has the highest incarceration rate of any country in the world. The American obsession with crime and punishment can be tracked over the last half-century, as the nation’s incarceration rate has risen astronomically. Since 1970, the number of incarcerated people in the United States has increased more than sevenfold to over 2.3 million, outpacing both crime and population growth considerably. While the rise itself is undoubtedly bleak, a more troubling truth lies just below the surface. Not all states contribute equally to American mass incarceration. Rather, states have vastly different incarceration rates. Unlike at the federal level, where courts are bound by uniform sentencing guidelines, state courts have no such mandatory measures in place; this allows for states to implement sentencing systems and criminal codes that are entirely independent of other states’ procedures nationwide. Data published on states’ laws concerning criminal punishment shows that legislatures have adopted widely varying statutory approaches to both defining and determining criminal sentencing.
This Note first explores the Deep South’s contribution to mass incarceration in the United States, specifically, the national average. To accomplish this end, this Note provides an in-depth analysis of state prison incarceration data collected, synthesized, and analyzed by this Note’s author. Next, this Note discusses how the variation in criminal sentencing between states contributes to “geographical discrimination” and how such discrimination threatens individuals’ rights to equal protection under the Fourteenth Amendment. This Note then provides a modern take on possible solutions provided by the Fourteenth Amendment whereby individuals may challenge disparate sentencing in the Deep South on the basis that such disparities are a form of geographic discrimination that fails the Rational Basis Test

Current directions in videoconferencing tele-mental health research
No full textThe provision of mental health services via videoconferencing tele-mental health has become an increasingly routine component of mental health service delivery throughout the world. Emphasizing the research literature since 2003, we examine (a) the extent to which the field of tele-mental health has advanced the research agenda previously suggested and (b) implications for tele-mental healthcare delivery for special clinical populations. Previous findings have demonstrated that tele-mental health services are satisfactory to patients, improve outcomes, and are probably cost effective. In the very small number of randomized controlled studies that have been conducted to date, tele-mental health has demonstrated equivalent efficacy compared to face-to-face care in a variety of clinical settings and with specific patient populations. However, methodologically flawed or limited research studies are the norm, and thus the research agenda for tele-mental health has not been fully maximized. Implications for future research and practice are discussed
MyNetDiary Worth a Try
No full textMedical and dietetic students often co-author a column for the Daily Reflector under Dr. Kolasa's byline. The students research the topic a reader or patient has asked. Dr. Kolasa reviews their draft for technical accuracy, patient friendly language, people first language. She fact checks the study or other evidence-based reference the student provides. If a physician review is appropriate, Dr. Kolasa requests a colleague from ECU physicians to review the article. The final draft is submitted to the Reflector with the editor having the final say. The headline is written by the Reflector headline writer. The food and nutrition column has run weekly since 1987. Starting in 2020, in addition to the Daily Reflector, the article is published in daily and weekly papers owned by the Adams Publishing Group East (https://adamspg.com)This is a weekly Q and A newspaper column under the byline of Dr. Kathy Kolasa. Today's column is about an app called MyNetDiary. MyNetDiary is very similar to Cronometer and works by tracking your calories and exercise. With premium features, app users can meet with a dietitian to create a meal plan, and receive exclusive recipes and guidance on nutrition.No sponsors
