International Aquaculture Curated Database
No full textThe International Aquaculture Curated Database (IACD), created by the AquaFish Innovation Lab, consists of 542 articles, written by 1706 authors in 121 journals, all of which were published between 1983 and 2016. The IACD draws from peer-reviewed papers whose research was supported by four separate international aquaculture programs, which were developed by Hillary Egna including: 1. Pond Dynamics/Aquaculture CRSP (1982-1996); 2. Aquaculture CRSP (1996-2008); 3. AquaFish CRSP (2006-2013); and 4. AquaFish Innovation Lab (2013-Present). The IACD was compiled by two AquaFIsh Innovation Lab faculty and a student who reviewed both electronic and hard copies of journal articles. Every publication since 1983 was recorded with relevant publication information, including full names, gender of authors, and author position, with the percentage of unknowns being less than 1%. Gender of authors was recorded by Egna from having a personal connection to the author or by the lead authors themselves. For privacy reasons, some of the publication details were removed

Duality of Function: Activation for Meaningless Nonwords and Semantic Codes in the Same Brain Areas
No full textStudies of the neural substrates of semantic (word meaning) processing have typically focused on semantic manipulations, with less consideration for potential differences in difficulty across conditions. While the idea that particular brain regions can support multiple functions is widely accepted, studies of specific cognitive domains rarely test for co-location with other functions. Here we start with standard univariate analyses comparing words to meaningless nonwords, replicating our recent finding that this contrast can activate task-positive regions for words, and default-mode regions in the putative semantic network for nonwords, pointing to difficulty effects. Critically, this was followed up with a multivariate analysis to test whether the same areas activated for meaningless nonwords contained semantic information sufficient to distinguish high- from low-imageability words. Indeed, this classification was performed reliably better than chance at 75% accuracy. This is compatible with two non-exclusive interpretations. Numerous areas in the default-mode network are task-negative in the sense of activating for less demanding conditions, and the same areas contain information supporting semantic cognition. Therefore, while areas of the default mode network have been hypothesized to support semantic cognition, we offer evidence that these areas can respond to both domain-general difficulty effects, and to specific aspects of semantics.I paid the open access fee, so this article should be "open access" from the journal.Peer reviewe

A Statutory Analysis of the Legal Landscape of Police Decertification
No full textOfficer misconduct costs agencies and communities resources every year and erodes public trust by damaging police-community relations. A critical accountability mechanism to prevent the phenomenon of officers fired for misconduct from being rehired by other agencies is the process of police decertification. Decertifications are the revocation of an officer’s certification by state law procedure, after which no agency in the state can hire a decertified individual legally. This analysis presents a comprehensive descriptive comparison and overview of police decertification laws across all 50 U.S. states, examining their scope, restrictiveness, and other correlates as of June 2025. While all states except Rhode Island have some form of decertification system, only 38% codify these procedures in statutes, while the majority rely on administrative codes. The study identifies substantial variation in decertifiable conduct, assessing eleven types of misconduct decertifiable by the law, ranging from felony convictions decertifiable in 97.92% of states to broader categories like unprofessional conduct decertifiable in 79.17% states and dishonesty, which is decertifiable in 77.08%. Around 47.9% of states maintain narrow, while 16.7% adopt expansive standards. Despite these frameworks, enforcement gaps persist, and only 27.08% of states expressly penalize agencies for failing to report misconduct in their laws, and 45.83% allow recertification, though most recertifications are conditional. The implications of this comparative analysis are examined, and the results are discussed

Evaluating a Regional Police Peer Support Program Using Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis to Improve Program Integration
No full textThis study evaluates a regional peer support program for three smaller police agencies in eastern Washington and northern Idaho. The goal was to explore cultural and practical factors that influence the implementation process. I conducted a mixed-methods evaluation, collecting quantitative and qualitative data from sworn and professional staff across the three agencies. Over 12 months, 547 survey responses from monthly assessments measured sleep quality (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index), perceived stress (Perceived Stress Scale), job satisfaction (Minnesota Job Satisfaction), and quality of life (World Health Organization Quality of Life). Additionally, 34 semi-structured interviews were conducted at two points during the program implementation process. Participants included sworn and professional staff, peer support team members, and non-team members. Secondary agency data was collected to assess organizational impacts, including use of force events, citizen complaints, overtime, sick and bereavement leave, training hours, and staffing ratios. I also conducted participant observations throughout the project, which served as an additional source of qualitative data. Quantitative analysis involved descriptive statistics, t-tests, ANOVA, and linear mixed-effects models. An Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis approach was used to analyze qualitative data, highlighting the lived experiences of agency members during the launch of the peer support team program. Findings are connected to existing policing theories, including camaraderie and masculinity, while emphasizing unique challenges faced by rural departments. This applied research, conducted in collaboration with participating agencies, provided real-time insights to support program development and adjustments. The results offer valuable guidance for regional peer support initiatives in small police agencies

WHERE HAVE WE BEEN AND WHERE ARE WE GOING A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW OF POLICE IN UNITED NATIONS PEACEKEEPING MISSIONS IN KOSOVO, SIERRA LEONE, AND TIMOR-LESTE
No full textUnited Nations (UN) Peacekeeping has been in use since 1948, and over the past 73 years significant amounts of research have been done on the topic. However, at this time, despite adaptation by the UN, there lacks a holistic view of the scholarship of peacekeeping. Scholars have repeatedly called for increased standardization and measurement in peacekeeping (Bajraktari et al., 2006; Call, 2008a; Copeland, 2012; Diehl & Druckman, 2015; Garb, 2014; Gorur, 2019; Martin-Brûlé, 2016; Peake & Marenin, 2008; Thakur, 2013), and while UN Peacekeeping has adjusted to worldwide changes, and even began implementing the Comprehensive Planning and Performance Assessment System (CPAS), a standardized system of evaluation for UN Peacekeeping missions, in 2018, there has not been, to date, a broad systematic review of the literature on UN Peacekeeping. This makes it hard to know the strength of this or other suggested evaluation systems. Additionally, most research is focused on disciplines outside of Criminal Justice and Criminology. As much of the UN Peacekeeping work is police-type work, utilizing a Criminal Justice and Criminology lens can provide new insights. A systematic review can address what is known about UN Peacekeeping now and fill this gap in the literature. This systematic review addresses three main questions. First, what is the state of the peer-reviewed scholarship on UN Police in UN Peacekeeping missions in Kosovo, Sierra Leone, and Timor-Leste? Second, how are the UN Police in UN Peacekeeping missions Kosovo, Sierra Leone, and Timor-Leste studied? And third, how is research about UN Police in UN Peacekeeping missions in Kosovo, Sierra Leone, and Timor-Leste associated with the Police Reform Indicators and Measurement Evaluation (PRIME) system. The findings of this dissertation will inform the strength of current and suggested evaluation measures and provide practical steps forward for both researchers, the UN, and the world

Ile kobiety w kobiecie — analiza wizerunku medialnego Hillary Rodham Clinton
No full textHow womanly can a woman be — analysis of Hillary Rodham Clinton’s media imageThe world of politics did not welcome women until quite recently. Yet, the situation has changed and there are more and more star women among American politicians. Hillary Rodham Clinton, the former First Lady and the 67th United States Secretary of State serving in the administration of President Barack Obama, definitely is one of them.The major role that Ann Romney played in the 2012 presidential campaign proves how important a factor of political success in the USA are politicians’ wives. They are the key “tool” used for improving their public image. Moreover, it is not too uncommon that a politician’s wife is one of the main contributors to her husband’s victory. But are female politicians also expected to do their own laundry and iron their own shirts, just like Mitt Romney did?The aim of the author of this article is to analyze the image of Hillary Rodham Clinton in American media and to try to answer the question, whether the 67th United States Secretary of State owes her unprecedented success to manifesting traditionally male traits or maybe she has become successful as a woman.How womanly can a woman be — analysis of Hillary Rodham Clinton’s media imageThe world of politics did not welcome women until quite recently.
