    Addie Hunton: respectability at home and abroad

    No full text
    In the early 1900’s, at the peak of the women’s club movements, women’s activism and the impending World War, Black women were engaging in international dialogues—conversing with women in other nations about how the race needed to come together, speaking at international conferences, and traveling to understand other nations' social and political systems. Activist Addie Waites Hunton dedicated her life to transnational activism through membership, leadership and service in women’s organizations ranging from the Young Women’s Christian Association, the International Council for Women of the Darker Races to the Women’s International League of Peace and Freedom. Throughout Addie Hunton’s life, her activism shifted between an American lens to a transnational lens, with emphasis on respectability, racial equality and virtue.M.A.Includes bibliographical reference

    In the world of training the development of assessments is as essential to training administration as keeping score is to any professional sporting event. The author identifies the four key components of the processs fo develping assessments and how to incorporate them into the training module. This article is the third in a series on the ADDIE Model

    Menstrual Phase Effects on Performance Readiness in Division I Women’s Basketball: A Longitudinal Multi-Modal Study

    Hormonal changes across the menstrual cycle influence cardiovascular, neuromuscular, and recovery responses, potentially altering athletic readiness and injury risk. Despite this, cycle phases are rarely integrated into athlete monitoring. PURPOSE: To examine menstrual phase–related differences in physiological and psychological readiness in Division I women’s basketball players. METHODS: Thirteen NCAA Division I athletes (IRB #2113291-6) were tracked daily from October 2024 to April 2025. Subjective measures include energy, soreness, sleep quality, and stress. Workload metrics were collected with the Beyond Pulse platform, and biometric data (recovery score, sleep index, resting heart rate, heart rate variability) were obtained from the Ultrahuman Ring AIR. Menstrual phase was assigned by daily yes/no self-report of menstruation; no additional phase labels or contraception/cycle-regularity adjustments were used. The merged dataset included 2,742 entries, with 211 complete cases. Analyses used within-athlete, covariate-adjusted models (game/practice, within-athlete workload, and month fixed effects) comparing menstruation versus non-menstruation days. RESULTS: During menstruation at the team level, recovery score increased (+7.1%, β=+5.29, p\u3c0.001) and resting heart rate decreased (−3.3%, β=−1.64 bpm, p=0.002). Sleep tended to be higher (+4.5%, β=+3.58, p=0.100), while heart rate variability (β=−0.70 ms, p=0.577), workload (β=−0.24, p=0.577), top speed (β=+0.12 m/s, p=0.353), and stress (Academic: β=−0.01, p=0.960; Other: β=+0.16, p=0.307) showed no meaningful change. CONCLUSION: In within-athlete, covariate-adjusted models, menstruation days were associated with greater physiological readiness (higher recovery and lower resting heart rate), while HRV, external load, top speed, and perceived stress did not differ significantly. Integrating menstrual tracking into athlete monitoring may improve recovery planning, performance optimization, and injury risk reduction

    Instructional Design: Using the ADDIE Model to Build a Writing Course for University Students.

    No full text
    application/pdfThis paper is an outline of an instructional design plan that was used to develop an English composition course at Takamatsu University. The ADDIE instruction model for this design is outlined by Smith and Ragan (1995) in their book entitled Instructional Design. The focus is on 5 points: Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation and Evaluation. The analysis proved that there was a need to implement a program that would give college students the opportunity to learn and develop basic compositional skills. The author developed a carefully thought out plan of action based on this analysis. The complete design is detailed in this report

    Improving the Flow of Materials in a Cataloging Department: Using ADDIE for a Project in the Ohio State University Libraries

    No full text
    The Cataloging Department at the Ohio State University Library continuously reviews workflow to see which areas need improvement. In 2004, the Cataloging Department began receiving complaints about the time it took to locate unprocessed materials within Technical Services. Locating these materials was difficult and time consuming, causing problems for both patrons and staff. The author reports on a project that examined the workflow of unprocessed materials in the Cataloging Department at Ohio State. Using the instructional design ADDIE model, a new workflow was designed and implemented to ensure that items could be located, processed, and delivered to patrons in a timely manner. The paper concludes with suggestions applicable to other libraries
