Diary of C. J. Sanders
Get PDFDiary - This document is the personal diary of Constance Jukes Sanders, daughter of Gilbert E. Sanders, Superintendent of the Northwest Mounted Police 1905-1908. The diary begins on August 27, 1910, and ends April 6, 1911. Diary entries include daily activities of C. J. Sanders during her nineteenth and twentieth years, while living in Athabasca Landing with her parents. C. J. spent her days doing housework at the family's home, and often taught Sunday School at the local church. A favourite pastime was having friends over to play bridge in the evening, or riding ponies during the daytime. Church was a big part of the family's week. The women also spent a lot of time cooking, cleaning and sewing. C. J. took a boat over to Europe with her mother and father just before Christmas in 1910. She was very seasick during the trip. While in Europe they visited family and friends in England, Ireland and France (45 pages
Co-Designing with Communities
Get PDFCo-design refers to the collective creativity of designers and people not trained in design working together in the design development process (Sanders & Stappers, 2008). The co-design process recognizes that when it comes to issues of health, wellness, and community, the people involved as patients, family, caregivers and health care providers are the experts of their own experiences. Their expertise can provide invaluable firsthand insights about and ideas regarding wicked problems.The co-design approach has proven to help identify and shape innovative solutions as well as empower stakeholders to participate in the solutions that would directly impact them (Sanders & Stappers, 2012). We will present three case studies wherein the co-design approach has been used to tackle complex problems in health care connected to aging, autism and diabetes. Aging: This Co-Design Studio, led by Professor Sanders, provided an interdisciplinary mix of graduate students the opportunity to co-design with the residents at the Westminster-Thurber retirement community. The co-design teams explored a wide range of issues such as decisions about retirement living, clothing and finding the right footwear, and how to start the conversation about giving up driving. Autism: In her Design MFA thesis, Erika Braun investigated a co-design approach for tackling the wicked problem of transitions for adolescents with autism through an exploratory autism case study. She convened a diverse group of stakeholders, including adults with autism, as co-designers in an iterative process to frame the transition problem and explore new resolutions for the Center for Autism Services and Transition (C.A.S.T.), a clinic for adults with autism connected to OSUWMC. This exploration has led to an ongoing funded project focused on developing a better transitional care experience for patients with autism and their caregivers. Diabetes: This Co-Design Studio led by Professor Sanders facilitated the collaboration between multidisciplinary graduate student teams, patients and health care professionals to identify problems and challenges facing those living with Type 1 diabetes. The graduate students invited patients, their families, doctors, nurses, diabetes educators, and medical device company representatives to co-design solutions for issues at multiple levels of the current health care system. Intended audience: This presentation is beneficial to anyone who is interested in bettering health care experiences. Expertise of presenter(s): Elizabeth (Liz) Sanders is an associate professor in the Department of Design. Her academic research focuses on co-design for innovation and transdisciplinary collaboration. Erika Braun is a design researcher and product designer. She is collaborating on two autism projects and a solar light project for third world countries. Sapna Singh is a design researcher, strategist and educator. She teaches courses in design thinking, human factors and design history.AUTHOR AFFILIATION: Elizabeth B.-N. Sanders, Associate Professor, The Ohio State University, [email protected] (Corresponding Author); Sapna Singh, Lecturer, Design Researcher Strategist, The Ohio State University; Erika Braun, Design Researcher, Product Designer, Collective Design Initiative.The presenters will share how the practice of co-design has empowered community members to become involved in the creation and development of innovative concepts and solutions for complex challenges that their communities face. The presentation will include case studies in which the co-design approach has been used to tackle complex problems in health care connected to aging, autism and diabetes

Media Agenda Against Bernie Sanders? Examining the Emotional Tone of US Political News Articles
No full textThe emotional tone of news articles (N = 120) on Democratic Party primary candidates was examined to determine if the media has bias towards Bernie Sanders. Using the Dictionary of Affect (Whissell, 2009), article words (N = 115,569) in the first 60 days of 2020 were measured for their pleasantness, activation, and imagery by candidate - Bernie Sanders, Joe Biden, Pete Buttigieg, Elizabeth Warren, Amy Klobuchar, and Mike Bloomberg. Significant differences between Bernie Sanders and the other candidates were found for article pleasantness (p = .000), article imagery (p = 0.003) and headline activation (p = 0.23). Articles written on Bernie Sanders were less pleasant and more active in tone, as well as being more abstract (low in imagery). <br
Populism in America: A Mixed-method Analysis of Bernie Sanders use of Left-wing Populist Rhetoric to Mobilize Economically Marginalized Voters
No full textPolitical rhetoric is often used by political elites to drive home a specific message and mobilize supporters to get out and vote. Interestingly, the United States is in the midst of growing populist communication, especially in the world of social media. President Donald Trump’s use of Twitter to disseminate populist rhetoric that motivates his base through themes of economic disenfranchisement and racial resentment is largely considered to be a predominant reason for his unexpected victory in 2016. Yet less research has been done to understand how Senator Bernie Sanders’ political tweets also used populist messages to mobilize supporters. Through a unique analysis of Sanders’ and Trump’s Tweets, I argue that both candidates engage in populist rhetoric to mobilize their respective bases. Using 2016 ANES data, I argue that Bernie Sanders used comparable political communication and campaign positions to engage a similar, but ideologically left-leaning base of disenfranchised voters. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, I find that voters with characteristics most likely to be attracted to his brand of populism support him. Sanders voters stand in contrast to those who are mobilized by Trump and his brand of populism – a brand rooted in racial rather than class resentment. This approach provides a unique opportunity to peer into how candidate’s utilize social media to engage with their supporters, adding new scholarship to the political behavior literature.Political Science, Department o
Replication Data for: Stopping and re-starting PrEP and loss to follow-up among PrEP-taking MSM at risk of HIV-1 participating in a prospective cohort study in Kenya
No full textUnderstanding predictors of stopping and re-starting pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is important to improve PrEP programming. We assessed frequency and predictors of stopping/re-starting PrEP and loss to follow-up (LTFU), and assessed whether risk behaviour was different while having stopped and restarted PrEP among men who have sex with men (MSM) with access to PrEP services in coastal Kenya.
From June 2017 to June 2019, we included MSM who had initiated daily oral PrEP and were followed monthly for HIV-1 testing, PrEP refill, risk assessment, and risk reduction counselling. We estimated transition intensities (TI) and predictors of switching (i) between having stopped and having (re-)started PrEP and (ii) from either PrEP state and LTFU (i.e. not returning to the clinic for >90 days) using a multi-state Markov model. We compared the proportion with any receptive anal intercourse (RAI), any insertive anal intercourse (IAI) and
134 MSM ever starting PrEP were followed for a median 20.3 months [interquartile range (IQR) 7.7-22.1]. Of them, 49 (36.6%) stopped PrEP a total 73 times [TI=0.6/PY, 95% confidence interval (CI)=0.5-0.7] and re-started PrEP 38 times (TI=1.2/PY, 95%CI=0.9-1.7). In multivariable analysis, stopping PrEP was related to anal sex in the past 3 months, substance use disorder and travelling. Re-starting PrEP was related to non-Christian or non-Muslim religion and travelling. 54 participants were LTFU: having (re-)started-PrEP (n=47, TI=0.3/PY, 95%CI=0.3-0.5) and having stopped-PrEP (n=7, TI=0.2/PY, 95%CI=0.1-0.4). In multivariable analysis, becoming LTFU while having (re-)started-PrEP was associated with secondary education or higher, years lived in the area (≤1 years), residence outside the immediate clinic catchment area and alcohol use disorder. No factors were associated with becoming LTFU while having stopped-PrEP. Participants reported higher proportions of IAI and lower proportions <100% CAS during visits while having stopped-PrEP. </p
Classroom Literacy Block Content for Lower-Performing First Graders: Are There Differential Instruction Effects on Gains for Language Minority Students?
Get PDFThesis (Master's)--University of Washington, 2013The present study examines the relationships between classroom literacy instruction activities and lower-performing students' reading and language gains over their first-grade year. Data from N = 94 students (approximately half of whom are language minority learners) from 28 classrooms in 11 schools were used for analyses. Three-level model results showed that lower skilled language minority (LM) students generally exhibited more growth than their lower skilled non-LM peers, and that classroom instruction effects on student growth depended on LM status. In particular, lower performing LM children appeared to benefit from increased vocabulary and comprehension instruction time, whereas their non-LM peers yielded higher gains when their teachers provided increased oral language, word study, and text reading instruction time. Future research might investigate optimal differentiated instruction for these two groups of at-risk students
