  • A FACULTY PERSPECTIVES and PRACTICES of SOCIAL PRESENCE in ONLINE POST-SECONDARY LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS a Dissertation SUBMITTED
    FACULTY PERSPECTIVES AND PRACTICES OF SOCIAL PRESENCE IN ONLINE POST-SECONDARY LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS A Dissertation SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Julie Ann Smith IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF EDUCATION Joyce Strand, Ph.D., Adviser April 2018 a Julie Ann Smith 2018 © b Acknowledgements This dissertation would not have been able without my patient adviser, Dr. Joyce Strand, who continued to support me throughout the years and help me to finally finish this research project. The last three years of trying to finish my dissertation included the caregiving to my mother and father. My father spent over two years in assistive care at the end of battling a long war with Alzheimer’s. He needed my mother’s help and she needed mine. This, and a concurrent divorce to my husband of 23 years, prolonged my ability to complete the writing of this dissertation, thus a long time had passed since the literature review. Many thanks go to my committee and doctoral chair who patiently provided me excellent advice in educational theory, interview and survey questionnaire revisions and/or dissertation guidance: Drs. Helen Mongan-Rallis, Craig Stroupe, Terrie Shannon, and Linda Deneen, and Chair Dr. Frank Guldbrandsen. Acknowledgements also go out to the faculty survey respondents and interviewees. Without their volunteer time, participation, and input, I would not have results to advance the study of social presence in the Community of Inquiry model. Additional thanks go to the faculty and staff and my cohort of the Education Doctorate in Teaching and Learning program at the University of Minnesota Duluth in the College of Education and Human Service Professions.

  • Probabilistic Forecasting in Decision-Making: New Methods and Applications
    Probabilistic Forecasting in Decision-Making: New Methods and Applications Xiaojia Guo A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of University College London. UCL School of Management University College London November 10, 2020 2 I, Xiaojia Guo, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indi- cated in the work. 3 To my family for their invaluable support throughout the years. Abstract This thesis develops new methods to generate probabilistic forecasts and applies these methods to solve operations problems in practice. The first chapter introduces a new product life cycle model, the tilted-Gompertz model, which can predict the distribution of period sales and cumulative sales over a product’s life cycle. The tilted-Gompertz model is developed by exponential tilting the Gompertz model, which has been widely applied in modelling human mortality. Due to the tilting parameter, this new model is flexible and capable of describing a wider range of shapes compared to existing life cycle models. In two empirical studies, one on the adoption of new products and the other on search interest in social networking websites, I find that the tilted-Gompertz model performs well on quantile forecast- ing and point forecasting, when compared to other leading life-cycle models. In the second chapter, I develop a new exponential smoothing model that can cap- ture life-cycle trends. This new exponential smoothing model can also be viewed as a tilted-Gompertz model with time-varying parameters.

  • 4134(A) Personnel ADMINISTRATIVE REGULATIONS REGARDING USE of SOCIAL MEDIA the Board of Education Recognizes the Importance
    4134(a) Personnel ADMINISTRATIVE REGULATIONS REGARDING USE OF SOCIAL MEDIA The Board of Education recognizes the importance and utility of social media and networks for its employees. The laws regarding social media continue to evolve and change. Nothing in the Board’s policy or these administrative regulations is intended to limit an employee’s right to use social media or personal online accounts under applicable law, as it may evolve. The Board acknowledges, for example, that its employees have the right under the First Amendment, in certain circumstances, to speak out on matters of public concern. The Board will resolve any conflict between the Board’s policy or these regulations and applicable law in favor of the law. Ordinarily, the use of social media by employees, including employees’ personal online accounts, will not be a legal or policy issue. While a policy or regulation cannot address every instance of inappropriate social media use, employees must refrain from social media use that: 1) interferes, disrupts or undermines the effective operation of the school district; 2) is used to engage in harassing, defamatory, obscene, abusive, discriminatory or threatening or similarly inappropriate communications; 3) creates a hostile work environment; 4) breaches confidentiality obligations of school district employees; or 5) violates the law, board policies and/or other school rules and regulations. Definitions: The rapid speed at which technology continuously evolves makes it difficult, if not impossible, to identify all types of social media. Thus, the term Social Media includes a variety of online tools and services that allow users to publish content and interact with their audiences.
