The Other Side of Trusting: The Implications of Vulnerability as a Core Component of Organizational Relationships
No full textTrusting behavior—discretionary risk-taking with another party—is the primary means of facilitating productive workplace relationships (Zand, 1979; Mayer, Davis, & Schoorman, 1995). Yet, little empirical evidence exists to explain what happens after employees engage in trusting behavior, but before outcomes materialize—otherwise termed the “vulnerability phase” (Ballinger, Schoorman, & Sharma, 2024: 2). To address this neglect, I develop a theoretical framework that positions vulnerability as a core psychological state within the trust process, shaped by trustors’ cognitive appraisals of risk severity and uncertainty. Drawing from research on stress and well-being, the framework also identifies coping as a key response to vulnerability, moderated by various contextual features. Utilizing a four-wave survey of 636 Army servicemembers, I test a moderated-mediation model proposing that an employee’s experience of vulnerability, generated from their trusting behavior, leads to unintended, negative consequences. The results find modest support for the model
From technical to teachable: Phonetics and phonology
No full textAs linguists, we value our jargon and training since they allow us to make precise, explicit characterizations of linguistic phenomena. However, it is easy to recognize that this same jargon prevents non-linguists, community members and teachers in particular, from engaging with the literature in a useful way (see, e.g. Penfield & Tucker 2011). Based on workshops given at the Oklahoma Breath of Life (Author 2014) and the Annual Symposium on the American Indian (Author 2012), I discuss specific activities that can be used in the classroom/workshop to make linguistic knowledge from the highly technical sub-fields of phonetics and phonology more accessible to language teachers and language users.
This paper consists of three parts. First, since highlighting L1-L2 similarities can have a positive effect on L2 comprehension and production (Ringbom 1987, 1992, 2007), I provide a list of IPA sounds that can be illustrated in terms of English phonemes and allophones (which could be extended straightforwardly to other languages). For example, English does not have a palatal stop phoneme /c/, but [c] appears as an allophone at the beginning of words like key (Ladefoged & Johnson 2010), and having participants contrast that with the sound at the beginning of car can help them distinguish [c] from [k].
Second, I provide a technique for motivating language teachers, students, and language users to ‘buy in’ to the need for learning at least some phonetics jargon. The thumbnail version of the exercise is: give an explanation for a sound like [p] and then ask participants to describe a number of other sounds such as [t, k, b, g, m, n…]. Having participants think about how to describe a sound helps them see the value of some jargon – for example, agreeing on precise labels for different parts of the vocal tract.
Third, I provide an illustration for how to discuss and explain the phoneme vs. allophone distinction in phonology without ever using the terms phoneme or allophone. The guiding principle is that these concepts can be made accessible to non-specialists when recast in more common but less precise terms and illustrated repeatedly with concrete examples from languages they know or study.
In sum, by actively de-jargoning linguistic material and giving up a small amount of precision and technical detail, linguistic knowledge can be made much more usable in language learning environments, and this, in turn, can result in higher quality language instruction in the community.

Pas de Shamrocks pour Sam Beckett ? La dimension irlandaise de « Murphy »
No full textThe French consider Beckett as their own, and Beckett, who has chosen their language and their culture has given them good reasons for this.
Even when works of fiction first written in English are concerned, Murphy, for instance, the author has refused to be described as « Irish » and devoted part of his creative powers to sneer at his native country, its inhabitants and types (e.g. the Stage-Irishman) and to parody some of its institutions (e.g. the Abbey), its artists (Yeats, Clarke) and its symbols (Cathleen ni Houlihan).
It is not so much Ireland that Murphy, a novel of refusal, condemns, however, as the land that has given birth to the hero or anti hero and his creator ; besides, condemned or otherwise, that land remains everpresent, sometimes to the point of recalling Joyce.
Yet the two novelists are also strikingly different in achievement as well as in racial, social and religious sensibility.
If Beckett appears simply « Irish » in his « Freudian blarney : Sodom and Begorrah » — to quote Dylan Thomas — his mental attitudes are essentially « Anglo-Irish » stricto sensu and so is, in part, his art of comedy reminiscent of Sheridan and Wilde and, when flavoured with a touch of the Abbey, in spite of his sarcasms, more akin to that of his fellow Protestant, Synge, than to any other playwright.
The Puritanism of the Anglo-Irish variety is fundamental to an understanding of Murphy in which a Swiftian dislike for the body and bodily functions is more prominent than a Joycean tendency to make fun of them.
Beckett thought that « the artist who stakes his whole being comes from nowhere » . This is patently not the case in as far as he is concerned and Ireland also is entitled to claim him as part of one of her traditions.Rafroidi Patrick. Pas de Shamrocks pour Sam Beckett ?

Joint galaxy–galaxy lensing and clustering constraints on galaxy formation
No full text© 2020 The Author(s) We compare predictions for galaxy-galaxy lensing profiles and clustering from the Henriques et al. public version of the Munich semi-analytical model (SAM) of galaxy formation and the IllustrisTNG suite, primarily TNG300, with observations from KiDS + GAMA and SDSS-DR7 using four different selection functions for the lenses (stellar mass, stellar mass and group membership, stellar mass and isolation criteria, and stellar mass and colour). We find that this version of the SAM does not agree well with the current data for stellar mass-only lenses with M∗ > 1011 M. By decreasing the merger time for satellite galaxies as well as reducing the radio-mode active galactic nucleus accretion efficiency in the SAM, we obtain better agreement, both for the lensing and the clustering, at the high-mass end. We show that the new model is consistent with the signals for central galaxies presented in Velliscig et al. Turning to the hydrodynamical simulation, TNG300 produces good lensing predictions, both for stellar mass-only (χ2 = 1.81 compared to χ2 = 7.79 for the SAM) and locally brightest galaxy samples (χ2 = 3.80 compared to χ2 = 5.01). With added dust corrections to the colours it matches the SDSS clustering signal well for red low-mass galaxies. We find that both the SAMs and TNG300 predict ∼ 50 per cent excessive lensing signals for intermediate-mass red galaxies with 10.2 < log10M∗[M] < 11.2 at r ≈ 0.6 h−1 Mpc, which require further theoretical development
The Dutch Dukeout: Honoring an Everyday Hero
No full textabstract: The "Dutch Dukeout" is a memorial, community engagement venture founded by Scott Fitzgerald and Sam Minton. The event was also supported and facilitated through the help of a third party member, Dylan Bryant. The "Dutch Dukeout" will continue annually, as an opportunity for Brophy College Preparatory alumni and current students to come together and connect. This venture also exists to celebrate and honor the life and legacy of Fr. Harry "Dutch" Olivier, a former, prominent faculty member of Brophy. Additionally, the "Dutch Dukeout" aims to raise money to support the Brophy Scholarship Foundation, a resource for current Brophy students to offset the financial burden it costs to attend the prominent college preparatory. Foremost, the "Dutch Dukeout" flag football tournament provides a powerful way for Brophy Alumni to reconnect with their school. By communicating and participating with graduates from various classes, alumni have an opportunity to provide valuable life lessons and share personal stories with the youth, as well as bond over their shared experience at Brophy. For a school that is able to continually develop community leaders and social activists, the "Dutch Dukeout" provides a platform for collaboration and inspiration for everyone who participates. By raising money to support the Brophy Scholarship Foundation and providing an opportunity for alumni to engage in their community, the "Dutch Dukeout" is an event that truly embodies Fr. Olivier's values and beliefs. This thesis report documents the ideas, work and efforts that were completed to launch and then ensure the success and longevity of the venture. It also serves as an example for future social entrepreneurs who aim to make a difference in communities of their own

Blueprints: poems
No full textEach of the poems in Blueprints explores questions of creation: artistic and interpersonal, religious and scientific. As a writer whose work has often been based in performance, and thus explicitly focused on the relationship between author and text, i have long been fascinated by these questions: where does my voice end and the poem\u27s begin? How do they influence each other? How does a creation, artistic or otherwise, shape its creator? Working on the page during this Honors Project has given me the opportunity to explore these questions in a more nuanced light. Many of the poems in Blueprints inform and interact with their own writing process. In the Lovers series, the characters within the poems actively create, shape and comment on the language of the poems themselves. In the Inventor poems, I explore the direct interplay between creator and creation, often giving the creation the stronger voice of the two, elevating its perception of the creator rather than the other way around. Other poems, such as Generation-- and The Familiar Names in the Credits/Undress the City Streets experiment with visual forms that force the reader to reconsider and recontextualize the language and structure of the poem each time they read it. Still others, such as Inheritance and Integration, work within more narrative forms and explore questions of creation through the progression of those narratives. My exploration of these questions was primarily aided by studying the work of a variety of contemporary page and performance poets, including Matthea Harvey, Jeffrey McDaniel, Karyn McGlynn, Anis Mojgani, and Sam Cook, all of whom have focused on similar questions in their own writing. McDaniel, for example, often uses his metaphors to comment on his own position as poet and creator. Mojgani utilizes shifting speakers to explore the relationship between himself, his characters, and his language. This project has been the culmination of four years of study at Macalester. I have drawn on experience not only from my Creative Writing and English classes, but also from my involvement in other academic departments and extracurricular opportunities made possible by the college. I look forward to continuing these explorations in my post-graduation work
NT mapping of green turtle foraging habitat
No full textMaintenance and Update Frequency: notPlannedStatement: Field surveys were conducted through a Ranger Exchange Program led by Larrakia Nation Rangers, involving six ranger groups. An additional exchange occurred between Garig Gunak Barlu National Park Rangers and Garngi Rangers from Croker Island. Contributing groups included Kakadu National Park Rangers, Garig Gunak Barlu National Park Rangers, Larrakia Nation Rangers, Gumurr-Marthakal Rangers, Kenbi Rangers, Garngi Rangers, Tiwi Rangers, and Mardbalk Rangers.
Ground-truthing used a towed video system during neap tides to enhance seabed imagery quality (Carroll et al., 2020; Foster et al., 2020). The system comprised a high-definition GoPro Hero 10 mounted on a lightweight, ballasted PVC frame. A wide-angle dive torch above the camera illuminated the seabed at an oblique angle to reduce backscatter. Transect locations were recorded using a handheld Garmin GPSMap 64 (accuracy <5 m), with depth logged from the vessel’s depth sounder.
Images were analyzed using a 10 × 10 grid to quantify percent cover of biota and substrate types. Sessile organisms or substrate elements covering over half a grid square (≥0.5%) were recorded as percent cover, while smaller occurrences were marked as ‘present.’ Motile organisms, such as fish, were counted individually. Habitat profiles were categorized as low, medium, or high. Classification followed the Collaborative and Automated Tools for Analysis of Marine Imagery (CATAMI) (Althaus et al., 2015). Transects were classified by depth as ‘Intertidal’ (<3 m) or ‘Subtidal’ (3–20 m) based on vessel depth sounder data and tidal conditions.
Sentinel-2 imagery, with a spatial resolution of 10m², was used in ArcGIS PRO to create the habitat classification maps. After pre-processing the imagery, a supervised pixel-based classification model was used in the Training Samples Manager tool in ArcGIS Pro. All the pixels in the image were then statistically compared by their colour, to the pixels defined by the training samples using a Support Vector Machine Learning Model (SVML).<b>Credit</b><br/>This project was funded by ARC Linkage Grant LP200100222, partnered with Kakadu National Park, Taronga Conservation Society Australia, Northern Territory Parks and Wildlife Service, Larrakia Nation Rangers, Gumurr-Marthakal Rangers and Sea Darwin. The Ranger Exchange and Sea Ranger operational costs were funded through the INPEX Aboriginal Ranger Grants Program and managed by Larrakia Nation.

Robert Risk, Dylan Cooper, and the Kakadu Rangers made significant contributions to data collection. All authors discussed the results, reviewed, and approved the final manuscript.Green turtles (Chelonia mydas) are globally endangered and culturally significant to Indigenous Traditional Owners in northern Australia, yet fine-scale understanding of their foraging habitats remains poorly understood, especially along Australia's remote north-coast. This project mapped green turtle foraging habitats in the Northern Territory, through collaboration with Indigenous Traditional Owners and ranger groups, to assist with their sea country management.<br/><br/>Visual classifications of towed video transect data were used in a Support Vector Machine Learning Model to predict habitat in 379 km² of remotely sensed satellite imagery, overlapping the benthic habitats for two green turtle foraging grounds within the joint managed parks: Trepang Bay, Garig Gunak Barlu Marine Park, and Field Island, Kakadu National Park.<br/><br/>Algae and seagrass made up 30% of the Trepang Bay and 18.05% of the Field Island foraging turtle habitat. The classification accuracy of the model showed a high level of agreement at both sites (0.63 for Trepang Bay and 0.75 for Field Island). These habitats provide good foraging grounds for green turtles and the diversity of marine habitats also allows for a range of different age classes of green turtles to use these sites for a range of other behaviours, e.g. resting and predator avoidance.<br/><br/>The simplicity and repeatability of the field methods used in this study allow for future monitoring of marine habitats in remote areas by ranger groups. The findings are useful for conservation planning, including the development of management plans in the Northern Territory

Beyond the pink: (post) youth iconography in cinema
No full textBeyond the Pink: (Post) Youth Iconography in Cinema is a project in cultural time travel. It cuts up linear cinematic narratives to develop a hop-scotched history of youth, Generation X and (post) youth culture. I focus upon the pleasures, pedagogies and (un)popular politics of a filmic genre that continues to be dismissed as unworthy of intellectual debate. Accelerated culture and the discourse of celebrity have blurred the crisp divisions between fine art and crude commodity, the meaningful and meaningless, and real and fictive, unsettling the binary logic that assigns importance to certain texts and not others. This research project prises open that awkward space between representation and experience.
Analysts require methods and structures through which to manage historical change and textual movement. Through cinema, macro-politics of identity emerge from the micro-politics of the narrative. Prom politics and mallrat musings become imbued with social significance that speak in the literacies available to youth. It grants the ephemerality and liminality of an experience a tactile trace. I select moments of experience for Generation X youth and specific icons - Happy Harry Hardon, Molly Ringwald, the Spice Girls, the Bitch, the invisible raver, teen time travellers Marty McFly and Donnie Darko, and the slacker - to reveal the archetypes and ideologies that punctuate the cinematic landscape. The tracked figures do not configure a smooth historical arc. It is in the rifts and conflicts of diverse narratives and subjectivities where attention is focused.
This research imperative necessitates the presentation of a series of essays arranged in a tripartite framework. The first section proposes theoretical paradigms for a tethered analysis of filmic texts and Generation X. The second segment explores sites of struggle in public spaces and time. The final section leaves the landscape of post-Generation X to forge the relationship between history, power and youth identity. I particularly focus on the iconography, ideologies and imaginings of young women to lead the discussion of the shifts in the experience and representations of youth. By reinserting women into studies of film, it is imperative to stress that this is not a dissertation in, and of, women's cinema. Rather, it serves as an historical corrective to the filmic database.
The existing literature on youth cinema is disappointing and narrow in its trajectories. Timothy Shary's Generation Multiplex: The Image of Youth in Contemporary American Cinema and Jon Lewis' The Road to Romance and Ruin: Teen Films and Youth Culture exemplify the difficulties of capturing the complexities of individual films when they are collated in artificial and stifling categories. At one end of the analytical spectrum is the critique that comes with the caveat of 'it's just another teen movie'. Jonathon Bernstein's monograph Pretty in Pink: The Golden Age of Teenage Movies is one such example which derails into acerbic diatribes and intellectual dismissal. The Cinema of Generation X: A Critical Study by Peter Hanson is a more successful project that is interested in the influences that inform a community of filmmakers than arriving at a catalogue of generic themes and narratives. There is an emphasis on the synergy between text, producer and readership.
I continue this relationship explored by Hanson, but further accent the politics of film. The original contribution to knowledge offered by this doctoral thesis is a detailed study of (post) youth popular culture, building into a model for Generation X cinema, activating the interdisciplinary perspectives from film and cultural studies. With its adaptability into diverse media forms, cultural studies paradigms allow navigation through the expansive landscape of popular culture. It traverses beyond simple textual analyses to consider a text's cultural currency. As an important carrier of meaning and sensory memories, cinema allows for alternative accounts that are denied in authorised history. As a unique form with its own visual literacy, screen theory is needed to refine observations. This unique melding of screen and cultural studies underscores the convergent relationship between text, readership, production and politics.
This doctoral thesis activates concepts and methods of generationalism, nationalism, social history and cultural practice. There is a dialogue between the chapters that crosses over text and time. The 1980s of Molly Ringwald shadows the dystopia of Donnie Darko. The celebrity status of the Spice Girls clashes with the frustrated invisibility of the female raver. Douglas Coupland's vision of Generation X in 1991 has evolved into Richard Linklater's documentation of post-youth in the new millenium. Leaping between decades through time travel in cinema, I argue that the nostalgic past and projections for the future evoke the preoccupations and anxieties of the present
