Newman1 Abstract Dr. Michael E. Newman presented the 2016 AAAE Distinguished Lecture at the Annual Meeting of the American Association for Agricultural Education in Kansas City, Missouri in May, 2016. The article is a philosophical work based upon the author’s experiences in the agricultural education profession. Note: This presentation is available online at https://prezi.com/kfgwywcb6ghg/capital-a-capital-e-making/ (Newman, 2016). I ask all of you to answer a question for me. If you could meet one person from the past, who would it be? The first 100 of you to answer will included in the presentation a little later. Dr. Balschweid, I thank you for the honor of speaking to this group. A lot of people have done this mystery speech/distinguished lecture over the years, and, like most of them, I went back and read many of the previous ones published in the Journal of Agricultural Education. Of the last 30 years or so, I knew all but a few of the speakers, and have been taught by almost one-third of them. Of course, I reviewed them because I didn’t want to repeat something that someone else had said previously. At some point during that process, though, I realized that whatever I really wanted to say, someone has already said. (For example, I could say we need to do a better job with SAE today, which is exactly what was being said 30 years ago.) Still, I enjoyed the reading, as it reminded me of how much I have enjoyed the lectures over the years. So, my advice to those who have the honor of doing this in the future: ignore all of the old ones and just talk about what you want. That is what I am going to do, and I just hope that something I touch on today may reach some of you in a different way, perhaps coming from a different angle, so that you take away something you can use. I know it is possible for a distinguished lecture to be useful to someone in the audience, because I have experienced it personally. In Orlando in 2013, Tim Murphy gave the Southern Region distinguished lecture. In it, he described the components of a comprehensive agricultural education program that would maintain its viability into the future (he was citing L.H. Newcomb, 1992). I had read about these components when L.H. wrote about them in 1992, but they didn’t stick when I was a brand new assistant professor. In 2013, however, I was the still fairly new administrator of an agricultural education unit that had already been merged with other units into the School of Human Sciences at Mississippi State University (MSU). At that point

    Review: Roadburn Thursday 19th April 2017 By Sander van den Driesche It’s that time of the year again, the After Yellow Eyes it’s straight to the much anticipated annual pilgrimage to Main Stage to see Dark Buddha Rising Tilburg to join with many hundreds of perform with Oranssi Pazuzu as the travellers for Walter’s party at Waste of Space Orchestra, which is Roadburn. As I get off the train the another highly anticipated show, and in heat kicks me right in the face, what a this case one that won’t be played massive difference to the dull and rainy anywhere else (as far as I know). What morning I left behind in Scotland. This happened on that big stage was is glorious weather for a Roadburn phenomenal, we witnessed a near hour Festival! Bring it on! of glorious drone-infused psychedelic proggy doom. In fact, it felt a bit too early for me personally in the timing of the festival to experience such an extraordinarily mind-blowing set, but it was a remarkable collaboration and performance. I can’t wait for the Live at Roadburn release to come out (someone make it happen please!). Yellow Eyes by Niels Vinck After getting my bearings with the new venues, I enter Het Patronaat for the first of my highly anticipated performances of the festival, Yellow Eyes. But after three blistering minutes of ferocious black metal the PA system seems to disagree and we have our first “Zeal & Ardor moment” of 2018. It’s Waste of Space Orchestra by Niels Vinck not even remotely funny to see the On the same Main Stage, Earthless Roadburn crew frantically trying to played the first of their sets as figure out what went wrong, but luckily Roadburn’s artist in residence.

It describes project activities, including a literature review in three related areas: understanding what literacy means, occupational literacy research findings, and basic skills for the workplace. Two project stages are discussed. The first is a survey in English and French of 325 Ontario (Canada) employers in 9 industrial sectors. The survey identified the core basic skills required at three entry levels to employment. The second stage is the consolidation of the survey findings into preliminary performance objectives for each of the six subject areas in OBS/FBO: communications, numeracy, science, computer literacy, work adjustment, and technical hands-on. The terminal performance objectives are presented in the body of the report. Appendixes, amounting to over one-half of the report, include the following,: lists of employers surveyed; survey results; provincial, regional, and sectoral results; occupational sector job positions; onsite points of observation; OBS terminal and enabling objectives; and FBO terminal and enabling objectives.

  • Rethinking Post-Humanitarianism in the Context of Social Media Logic
    Department of Informatics & Media Digital Media and Society Programme Humanitarianism on social media: Rethinking post-humanitarianism in the context of social media logic Master Thesis Presents: Gulizhaer Yahefu Supervisor: Jakob Svensson Uppsala University- August 2016 Abstract In this master thesis project, I attempt to explore the potential of social media in humanitarian communication. One of the major contributions in recent humanitarian communication studies is Chouliaraki’s theorization of post-humanitarianism, which is technologization of action and de-emotionalization of the causes. However, no studies have taken logic of social media into consideration yet. Therefore, I decided to take social media logic, which are programmability, connectivity and popularity, as one of the theoretical frameworks to explore how it influences dynamics of humanitarian communication. At the same time, I aspire to investigate whether the humanitarian communication on social media fulfill any characteristics of post-humanitarianism. Through conducting in-depth interviews with campaign organizer, campaign participant (volunteer) and random social media users, the result shows that the logic of social media has certain impact on the outcome of humanitarian campaigns, for instance, programmability enables them to actively create their own content, especially they are able to post direct contents from the field, which could potentially build trust between audience and humanitarian practitioners. However, the study also shows that humanitarian communication on social media does show some characteristics of post-humanitarianism, such as compassion fatigue, because the large public seem to be reluctant to act due to the proliferation of similar humanitarian appeals. However, connectivity could change their view if their significant others share, like or comment on a campaign.

  • Analysis and Decision-Making with Social Media
    Analysis and Decision-Making with Social Media by Lydia Manikonda A Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirement for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy Approved May 2019 by the Graduate Supervisory Committee: Subbarao Kambhampati, Chair Huan Liu Baoxin Li Munmun De Choudhury Ece Kamar ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY August 2019 ABSTRACT The rapid advancements of technology have greatly extended the ubiquitous nature of smart- phones acting as a gateway to numerous social media applications. This brings an immense con- venience to the users of these applications wishing to stay connected to other individuals through sharing their statuses, posting their opinions, experiences, suggestions, etc on online social networks (OSNs). Exploring and analyzing this data has a great potential to enable deep and fine-grained insights into the behavior, emotions, and language of individuals in a society. This proposed disser- tation focuses on utilizing these online social footprints to research two main threads – 1) Analysis: to study the behavior of individuals online (content analysis) and 2) Synthesis: to build models that influence the behavior of individuals offline (incomplete action models for decision-making). A large percentage of posts shared online are in an unrestricted natural language format that is meant for human consumption. One of the demanding problems in this context is to leverage and develop approaches to automatically extract important insights from this incessant massive data pool. Efforts in this direction emphasize mining or extracting the wealth of latent information in the data from multiple OSNs independently. The first thread of this dissertation focuses on analytics to investigate the differentiated content-sharing behavior of individuals.

SCHLABACH has been approved for the School of Music and the College of Fine Arts by Kamile Geist Associate Professor of Music Margaret Kennedy-Dygas Dean, College of Fine Arts 3 ABSTRACT SCHLABACH, JESSICA L., M.M., May 2015, Music Therapy We're Free: The Impact of a Rap Writing Music Therapy Intervention on Self-Esteem of At-Risk Adolescents in a Public Middle School Setting Director of Thesis: Kamile Geist The negative behaviors displayed by adolescents who are at-risk can have detrimental effects on society. Developmentally appropriate, engaging treatments that adolescents enjoy may be the most successful as preventative interventions. The purpose of this study was to investigate rap writing as a possible treatment intervention to improve self-esteem of at-risk adolescents. A convergent, mixed methods design was used to provide qualitative insight into quantitative results. Quantitative measures include the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale and a frequency count of low self-esteem behaviors. Qualitative measures included a thematic analysis of a post study questionnaire, a session transcription, and lyrics written by the participants.
