An Enemy of the People: A Reflection of Society's Past, Present, and Future
No full textHenrik Ibsen's 1882 play, An Enemy of the People, follows the story of a small Norwegian town whose economic center is the Medicinal Baths. The town's doctor discovers that the water supply has been contaminated, thus rendering the Medical Baths hazardous, he is branded "an Enemy of the People" by the local government and is run out of town. This project pairs a research paper on the play's original context and past and current productions with a portfolio of original costume, set, makeup, sound, and lighting designs for a hypothetical contemporary production. Emily Mattson makes connections between the prevalent themes ofenvironmentalism, capitalism, and the role of the free press present in An Enemy of the People to recent US history, and in the present to raise poignant questions on the trajectory of society's future

Zircon provenance of the Carboniferous Mattson delta complex, western Laurentian margin, Canada: record of a Greenland sourced pancontinental river system
No full textNew detrital zircon U-Pb dates for seven late VisĂŠan to Bashkirian (Middle Mississippian to Lower Pennsylvanian) Mattson and Kindle formation sandstone samples from the Mattson delta complex in the Liard Basin of northeastern British Columbia, combined with two previously published detrital zircon samples from these units, indicate a dominant Greenland Caledonian clastic wedge and orogen source with a small contribution of Ellesmerian aged material. This provenance remained consistent over time. The Labrador-Greenland high was the only paleogeographically viable source area during the time of deposition of the Mattson delta complex. Detritus deposited on the western margin of Laurentia in the Mattson delta complex was likely transported southwestward by a late VisĂŠan to Bashkirian pancontinental river system. This conclusion contrasts with previous interpretations which proposed that these sediments were recycled from the Ellesmerian clastic wedge. Tectonic uplift and denudation of eastern Greenland provided detritus from the Silurian to Devonian Caledonian clastic wedge and orogen to the western margin of Laurentia and detritus from the Caledonian orogen to the Serpukhovian to middle Bashkirian (Namurian) conglomeratic successions of the Millstone Grits in England. Detrital zircon U-Pb dates for two samples from the unconformably overlying Cisuralian (lower Permian) Tika formation are similar to those of the Mattson delta complex samples, as are those from the Pennsylvanian Spray Lakes Group of the southern Prophet Trough, indicating they all probably shared the same dominant source areas. The Tika formation was mainly derived from recycling of the Mattson and other Caledonide sourced sediments of northern Laurentia.The presentation of the authors' names and (or) special characters in the title of the pdf file of the accepted manuscript may differ slightly from what is displayed on the item page.

Toward harm reduction as a metatheory for health communication campaigns: An empirical study of harm reduction metatheory and the Reconceptualized Health Belief Model addressing motorcycle safety
No full textThis harm reduction-oriented health communication project advances the design of health communication campaign messages by utilizing the five tenets of harm reduction theory (HRT) as a metatheoretical framework to guide health communication theories in research and application with target audiences. A comprehensive, communication-oriented definition of HRT seeks to ask, listen, and inform individuals and groups in an effort to understand why and how they engage in risky behaviors. Subsequently, HRT provides guidance for reducing the health risks associated with those behaviors by communicating with individuals to develop a hierarchy of goals that, over time helps protect the health of individuals and of those in their sphere of influence. The five tenets of HRT identified through a literature review include humanistic value, pragmatism, immediacy and goal setting, empowerment, and community collaboration. These five tenets guided the five components of the Reconceptualized Health Belief Model (RHBM) (Mattson, 1999) to inform motorcyclists\u27 perceived safety behaviors while they drive a motorcycle. Qualitative methods consisting of in-depth interviews with risky motorcyclists were conducted to answer seven research questions about ways HRT, in tandem with the RHBM, could inform realistic motorcycle safety messages. Implications for developing motorcycle safety messages include being non-critical of motorcyclists\u27 safety behaviors while communicating with them, being realistic about motorcyclists\u27 ability to overcome perceived barriers and change behaviors, develop messages that build efficacy to accomplish and sustain short-term safety behaviors and eventually progress to additional safety behaviors, utilize graphic images to increase perceived susceptibility and severity of motorcycle accidents, and work with a variety of community partners to disseminate credible messages. Utilizing HRT as a metatheoretical framework to guide the RHBM revealed support for considering HRT as a metatheory for health communication campaigns. Considering HRT as a metatheory in the field of health communication may inform the development of more realistic health messages for target audiences. Suggestions for future research include plans for further testing of HRT as a metatheory through the use of quantitative research methods and exploring how the tenets of HRT function as a metatheoretical framework while guiding other communication theories focused on a variety of health behaviors. Limitations of this research project also are presented

Janne Mattson Sjodahl: Baptist Minister, Convert to Mormonism, Editor, Author and Missionary
No full textThe purpose of this writing is to bring to light the life and accomplishments of Janne Mattson Sjodahl.He was born in Karlshamn, Sweden, to Lutheran parents. While still in his teens, he joined the Baptist Church. After two years of study at Betelseminariet, he became a Baptist minister. Between 1872 and 1886, he rose to prominence among Scandinavian Baptists and became the General Secretary of the Norwegian Baptist Union in 1879. Due to irregular behavior, he was excommunicated from the Baptist Church in 1886. Introduced to Mormonism that same year, he decided to travel to Utah to investigate first hand. He was baptized shortly after his arrival. Sjodahl fulfilled one proselyting mission to Palestine, in 1897, and he was chosen to represent the Church at the court of King Oscar II of Sweden and Norway. He was also associated with the Deseret News and the Millennial Star for many years. He wrote prolifically throughout his career. A number of books and innumerable articles are to his credit. He also translated the Standard Works into Swedish. His long life of service ended in 1939, when he was eighty-five years old

Is Sex Like Driving? Risk Compensation Associated with Male Circumcision in Kisumu, Kenya
No full textMass adult male circumcision campaigns for HIV prevention are underway across much of Sub-Saharan Africa. However, concern remains about risk compensation associated with the reduction in the probability of HIV transmission per risky act. This paper examines the be- havioral response to male circumcision in Kisumu, Kenya. Contrary to the presumption of risk compensation, we find that the response due to the perceived reduction in HIV transmission appears to have been a reduction in risky sexual behavior. We suggest a mechanism for this finding: circumcision reduces fatalism about acquiring HIV/AIDS and increases the salience of the tradeoff between engaging in additional risky behavior and avoiding acquiring HIV. We also find what appears to be a competing effect that does not operate through the circumcision recipient's belief about the reduction in the risk of acquiring HIV.HIV/AIDS, male circumcision, risk compensation, beliefs, Kenya
The Making of a COVID-19 Lab: A Business Exploration
No full textabstract: Early on in the pandemic, ASU leadership recognized an opportunity to involve the Biodesign Institute in an effort to keep local communities safe. Equipped with capital investments (and expertise) in diagnostic testing, university president Michael Crow tasked Dr. Joshua LaBaer - the executive director of Biodesign - to begin mapping out the lab’s logistic capabilities and operational plan. While initially testing through nasopharyngeal swabs, the Arizona Biodesign Clinical Testing Laboratory (ABCTL) eventually developed a saliva-based COVID-19 test that demonstrated higher efficacy and resource-efficiency. By maintaining rapid turnaround times for test results, the ABCTL has helped both the university population and local community operate safely. Lauded as a highly innovative testing site, the lab proved to be an essential asset as ASU, and the world, look to return to normalcy. The purpose of this thesis is to analyze the ABCTL’s inception and development using multi-faceted approaches from the business realm. There will be five topics discussed which are: • Volume I- Stakeholder Theory and Analysis Regarding the COVID-19 Bio-design Institute at Arizona State University (Claire Agee), • Volume II- The Lab as a Business Within a University Environment (Samuel Cosgrove) • Volume III- A Managerial Economic Perspective (Michael Qian) • Volume IV- An Analysis of its Upstream Supply Chain ( Kyle Mattson) • Volume V- An Operations Management Perspective (Corinne English) After these volumes, there will be a discussion about the growth and sustainability of the laboratory looking into the future. Although the ABCTL is young,the ever-changing market dynamics leave the organization with critical decisions going forward. (abstract
