No full textA SUNY Potsdam professor and a student researcher are conducting a study, funded by the College's Kilmer Undergraduate Research Award, to examine the health status of the North Country's population.
Dr. Kelly Bonnar, an assistant professor in the Department of Community Health, and senior Samantha Paige of Norfolk, N.Y., are surveying Northern New York residents to determine whether there are disparities, or avoidable differences, in Type II Diabetes between area residents of different races and ethnicities
Relationship between Estimations and Actual Physical Activity in College Students
No full textPhysical activity is one of the most significant health indicators. Physical activity provides numerous health benefits, yet it is rare to find people meeting the recommendations. College age individuals may not engage in the recommended amounts of physical activity because they lack knowledge of the recommendations and have inaccurate estimations of their own physical activity level. About 60% of adults who do not meet recommended guidelines overestimate their level of physical activity (Watkinson, 2010). Overestimation occurs when people incorrectly believe they are physically active when actual levels of activity indicate otherwise (Watkinson, 2010). Overestimation includes a misperception that one's behavior is healthy when it is actually not. This may occur due to a lack of knowledge about physical activity recommendations. The purpose of this study was to examine how college aged-students estimate their physical activity and correlate it to the actual amount of physical activity they are completing. The participants of this study were a non-probability sample of racially/ ethnically diverse 3,707 undergraduate SUNY Potsdam students between the ages of 18-25+. The instrument used is a 22-item survey measuring estimation of physical activity, knowledge of physical activity recommendations, intentions for change, actual amounts of PA. All data was analyzed by Kruskal Wallis.SUNY BrockportSUNY Undergraduate Research Conferenc
The Lieder of Mathilde von Kralik, newly discovered
No full textMathilde von Kralik (1857-1944) was a late 19th/ early 20th century composer from The Austrian Empire. Her extraordinary musical gifts enabled her to be accepted into the Vienna Conservatory; one of the first women to be so honored. She was in a class of 10 which included the Gustav Mahler and had Anton Bruckner as a teacher. She composed a large oeuvre of vocal, piano, instrumental and organ works including an opera, symphonies and oratorios. In her songs she had the ability to write a captivating melodic line and intricate accompaniment comparable to Mahler or Richard Strauss. Because of political events due to WWII, the dissolution of the Austrian Empire, the loss of the family possessions, titles, properties and her being a woman her music has all but disappeared.
I will be transcribing her music from hand written manuscripts to an electronic music notation software. The nine pieces that I will be focusing on are Abends (Evenings) Sonntag (Sunday) Mondennacht (Moon Night) and the two songs in Vier Lieder which are Liebe (Love) and Schiffe (Ships). The first two songs are from the Austrian National Library in Vienna, received with permission from her great nephew Rochus von Kralik. The Fünf Lieder were only recently received by Herr von Kralik along with the song Mondennacht from present day Czech Republic (where the family had lived). The songs are dedicated to Baroness Amalie Strummer von Tavarnok ( formerly Bohemia) who possessed the castle in Miroslav and was friends with Mathilde von Kralik. Mr. Vladimir Sobotka had inherited the music from his grandfather and sent it to Herr von Kralik. With this extraordinary circuit of happenstance I will transcribe this music for the 21st century in addition to a performance of the songs at SUNY Potsdam, The Crane School of Music.SUNY BrockportSUNY Undergraduate Research Conferenc
Task Force on the Status of Women at SUNY Potsdam: A Perspective on a Decade of Feminist Practices
Get PDFThis paper argues that the Task Force on the Status of Women at SUNY Potsdam stands as a model of best practices for institutions of Higher Education that want to improve campus climate, and respond appropriately to demographic. The results of the work female faculty have done there are noteworthy, and a decade later its effects continue to bring positive rewards to faculty, students, and the institution as a whole
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
