Advancing Transportation Equity: Research and Practice
No full textYingling Fan is the corresponding author: [email protected] contributes to many societal outcomes, including employment, health, and wealth. However, disparities and inequities in transportation systems, services, and decision-making processes disproportionately impact underserved and underrepresented communities. This study seeks to create a better understanding of current research and practice and recommend future research and practice that can advance transportation equity in Minnesota. To that end, the research team conducted a literature review that summarizes recent developments in the field of transportation equity, reviewed existing equity-focused programs within and beyond the transportation sector, and engaged multiple stakeholder groups, including a project advisory group with experts in addressing disparities and inequities, a group of transportation users and equity stakeholders, and community members. The study presents a working definition of transportation equity, recommends action steps for MnDOT and its partners to consider in advancing transportation equity, and identifies directions for future research and practice that can advance transportation equity in the state of Minnesota.Van Dort, Leoma; Guthrie, Andrew; Fan, Yingling; Baas, Gina.

Negotiating emotional order: a grounded theory of the survivorship process in women who have completed treatment for breast cancer
No full textRationale for the study: Decades of research focusing on treatment and detection of breast cancer has promoted better outcomes in treating the disease and longer survival rates. Despite this there is a significant gap in the literatures regarding the survivorship process. Breast cancer survivorship needs to be fully understood by nurses and health care providers (HCP) in order to obtain optimal health outcomes for this ever growing population. Method: Classic grounded theory was used in this study to explore the process of transitional survivorship from the prospective of women who had completed initial treatment for breast cancer. Approval by the Institutional Board of Research at Rutgers University and Faxton St. Luke’s Healthcare was obtained prior to the commencement of the research. Twelve women were interviewed. All of the women who were interviewed had completed initial treatment for breast cancer, two of the women had recurrence since the initial completion of treatment for breast cancer and one participant had metastatic breast cancer. Interviews were transcribed verbatim and analysis by constant comparison as described by Glaser was employed. Results: In this study, the basic social process describing how women with breast cancer perceive their illness and take action was negotiating emotional order. Participants were attempting to bring the psychological aspect of having breast cancer into a state of order by negotiating control with cancer, themselves and external factors. From the data a five stages latent process of negotiating emotional order consists of: 1) Losing Life Order, 2) Assisted Life Order, 3) Assuming Life Order 4) Accepting the Things Cannot Control, and 5) Creating Emotional Order. This latent process also had a cyclical property as evidenced by the data collected from participants that had experienced cancer more than once or had a time period where they were being tested for cancer recurrence. Conclusion: This research method provided this population of concern with a voice to assist nurses explore the dynamic challenge women experience once they have completed breast cancer treatment and enter extended survivorship. This study contributed to the literature in several ways and the findings may help healthcare providers who care for breast cancer survivors understand the depth and perpetual emotional impact that breast cancer survivors endure. This study will potentially serve as path for future research and aid in the understanding of the psychological impact that breast cancer has upon survivors.Ph.

Literary Women of the Hui-Yang Families in mid-Qing Yangzhou and Beyond: From Xu Deyin 徐德音 (1681-1760?) to Jiang Zhu 江珠 (1764-1804)
No full textThis paper is part of an ongoing project on literary women from the Huizhou mercantile lineages and their rise to cultural prominence during the Qing period. I am particularly interested in women of the “Hui-Yang” background – namely, those whose families originated from Huizhou and resided in Yangzhou. It was the enormous salt wealth of the Hui-Yang merchants, as scholars have acknowledged, that stimulated the splendid cultural and intellectual developments in Yangzhou and, more broadly, in the lower Yangtze area during the late imperial era. In this paper I draw on records from the Huaihai yingling ji 淮海英靈集 andGuangling shishi 廣陵詩事 by Ruan Yuan 阮元(1764-1849), and the sequel to the Huaihai yingling jiby Wang Yu王豫 (1768-1826) and Ruan Heng 阮亨 (1783-1859), to uncover literary women’s ties to the vibrant culture of salt wealth in Yangzhou and elite social networks in the cultural heartland of the lower Yangtze area during the mid-Qing period. I focus on two cases, Xu Deyin (1681-1760?) and Jiang Zhu (1764-1804), to illustrate the flow of cultural capital through these networks and the interregional dynamics between Yangzhou and the cultural heartland. Understanding Yangzhou in the above light calls into question the stereotypical images of the women of Yangzhou - as part of the city’s notorious “commerce of women” – and draws attention to locality as a vital factor underlying the rise of literary women during the Qing era

No full textScenography and new media technologies: history, educational applications and visualization techniques
No full textThe endemic presence of digital technology is responsible for numerous changes in contemporary Western societies. This study examines the role of multimedia within the field of theatre studies, with particular focus on the theory and practice of theatre design and education. In the cross-disciplinary literature review, I investigate such primary elements of contemporary media as interactivity, immersion, integration and hyper-textuality, and explore their characteristics in the performing arts before and during the digital epoch. I also discuss various IT applications that transformed the way we experience, learn and co-create our cultural heritage. In order to illustrate how computer-generated environments could change the way we perceive and deliver cultural values, I explore a suite of rapidly-developing communication and computer-visualization techniques, which enable reciprocal exchange between viewers, theatre performances and artefacts. I analyze novel technology-mediated teaching techniques that attempt to provide a new media platform for visually-enhanced information transfer.
My findings indicate that the recent changes towards the personalization of knowledge delivery and also towards student-centered study and e-learning necessitated the transformation of the learners from passive consumers of digital products to active and creative participants in the learning experience. The analysis of questionnaires and two case studies (the THEATRON and the VA projects) demonstrate the need for further development of digital-visualization techniques, especially for studying and researching scenographic artefacts. As a practical component of this thesis, I have designed and developed the Set-SPECTRUM educational project, which aims to strengthen the visual skills of the students, ultimately enabling them to use imagery as a creative tool, and as a means to analyze theatrical performances and artefacts. The 3D reconstruction of Norman Bel Geddes' set for The Divine Comedy, first of all, enables academic research of the artefact, exposing some hitherto unknown design-limitations in the original set-model, and revealing some construction inconsistencies; secondly, it contributes to educational and creative practices, offering an innovative way to learn about scenography. And, thirdly, it fills a gap in the history of the Western theatre design.
This study attempts to show that when translated into digital language, scenographic artefacts become easily retrievable and highly accessible for learning and research purposes. Therefore, the development of such digital products should be encouraged, but care should also be taken to provide the necessary training for users, in order to realize the applications' full potential
