Item 11:20's Two Big Hemispheres(The Laurel Review, 2019-03-15) Lee, David DoddItem The 2.5% Commitment: 2.5% of Whom?(Academic Libraries of Indiana, 2018-10-26) Martin, ShawnDavid Lewis proposed that libraries should commit approximately 2.5% of their budgets toward the creation of open access infrastructure for publishing. Though one can question the exact number necessary to accomplish these goals, the principle is laudable. Yet, there is another challenge. Librarians should not only commit 2.5% of their own internal resources; they also need to commit themselves to building a community containing at least 2.5% of faculty (across all disciplines), academic administrators (such as deans and grant managers), research funders (like the NSF or the Gates Foundation), and perhaps even some publishers (University presses and other open access ventures). Why is this important? As a historian of scholarly communication, I can say that the system has always been in part about creating a community to disseminate research. The question of who should and who should not be in that community has evolved over time. In the 1840s, professional scholars sought to create exclusive domains including only a small number of people. One hundred years later with increasing government money, the public became a part of the community. Now, if librarians want to create a new scholarly communication system, it will be necessary to determine what community we want to build for the future, and how both 2.5% of our money and 2.5% of the community can come together to create that new system.Item 2018 ALI Scholarly Communication Librarianship Conference(InULA Notes, 2018-11) Finlay, Stephen Craig; Collins, Nina K.Item Abnormal Audit Fees and Audit Quality: Evidence from the Korean Audit Market(American Accounting Association, 2020-10) Park, Sung-Jin; Behrend, Matt; Khan, Sarfraz; Ko, YoungwooDo abnormally high or low audit fees reflect audit quality? Prior literature examining the U.S. audit market offers conflicting evidence in response to this question. In this paper, we re- examine this issue after controlling for the confounding effect of audit hours by using a sample of public firms in the Korean audit market, which publicly discloses both audit fees and audit hour information. While we do not find a significant association between abnormally high audit fees and audit quality, we find that abnormally low audit fees are associated with larger discretionary accruals and a higher likelihood of meeting or beating analyst earnings forecasts. Further, we find evidence showing that the relationship between abnormally low audit fees and audit quality indicators persists regardless of the level of audit hours. To the extent that audit hours represent the amount of audit effort exerted during an audit engagement, these findings suggest that greater audit effort alone may not lead to higher audit quality as fee pressure from abnormally low audit fees may discourage the provision of high-quality audit services. Keywords: abnormal audit fees; audit effort; audit quality; audit hoursItem Above and Beyond: An Exploratory Study of Breast ancer Patient Accounts of Healthcare Provider Information-giving Practices and Informational Support(PAGEPress, 2018) Meluch, Andrea L., 1988--giving practices. Twenty-two women diagnosed with breast cancer participated in semi-structured in-depth interviews designed to understand their experiences receiving supportive information from healthcare providers (e.g., oncologists, surgeons, nurse practitioners). Participants’ accounts suggest that providers who spend extensive time discussing cancer-related information and who explain that information thoroughly so that patients can understand their medical situation, are communicating informational support in contrast to merely presenting factual information related to cancer diagnosis and treatments. Participant accounts further suggest that the supportive nature of provider information-giving practices results from message framing, or the provider’s metacommunication.Item Academic Libraries and Extracurricular Reading Promotion(Reference & User Services Quarterly, 2007) Feighery, JulieIn this column, Julie Elliott considers the role of RA services in the academic library. She looks at the history of the role of extracurricular reading at colleges and universities. Elliott examines current practices in academic libraries, and outlines the issues that have kept readers’ services from taking a prominent role in academic libraries. Her article concludes with a call for academic libraries to revitalize their approach to readers’ services.Item Accessibility Characteristics of Community Acupuncture Clinics(The American Acupuncturist, 2012) Fox, Mark A.; Brettin, Staci LugarThis study provides a profile of some of the characteristics of 114 Community Acupuncture Network (CAN) clinics as of June, 2011. Characteristics of clinics that affect their accessibility are examined. Most clinics offered a sliding scale fee structure to patients; the lower end of this scale ranged from 10 to 25 dollars and the higher end ranged from 35 to 45 dollars. On average, CAN clinics were open for 31 hours per week but had limited opening hours during hours at the start and end of weekdays and on Sundays. The typical clinic was operated by 1.48 acupuncturists, 69% of whom were women. Clinics typically had 7.6 chairs/recliners and 0.8 treatment tables (but half of all clinics had no tables). Suggestions are made for increasing clinic accessibility that focus on the number of practitioners, opening hours, and clinic configuration.Item Activation of Brian Attention Systems in Individuals with Symptoms of ADHD(Hindawi, 2007) Rodriguez, P. Dennis; Baylis, Gordon C.Previous research investigating attention and impulse control in individuals with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) has largely ignored the symptomatic differences among the three subtypes of ADHD: ADHD-Inattentive Type, ADHD-Hyperactive/Impulsive Type, and ADHD-Combined Type. The present study examined attention and impulse control by focusing on these subtypes. Based on their self-reported symptoms of ADHD, participants belonged to one of four groups: ADHD-Inattentive, ADHD-Hyperactive/Impulsive, ADHD-Combined, and control. Cortical activity was recorded from participants during performance of a Go/NoGo task. The event-related potentials (ERP) measured at frontal and posterior sites discriminated between the control group and participants with symptoms of ADHD. The control group consistently exhibited a higher P3 amplitude than all the ADHD groups. The main difference occurred at the frontal site, indicating that individuals with ADHD symptoms have deficits in the anterior attentional system, which mediates signal detection. Behavioral measures of signal sensitivity revealed that the ADHD-Inattentive and the ADHD-Hyperactive/Impulsive groups had more difficulty with the attention-demanding Go/NoGo respond-to-target task, while behavioral measures of response bias indicated that the ADHD-Hyperactive/Impulsive and the ADHD-Combined groups responded more liberally in the inhibition-demanding Go/NoGo suppress-to-target task.Item Age and Gender in Reddit Commenting and Success(Journal of Information Science Theory and Practice, 2014) Finlay, Stephen CraigReddit is a large user generated content (USG) website in which users form common interest groups and submit links to external content or text posts of user-created content. The web site operates on a voting system whereby registered users can assign positive or negative ratings to both submitted content and comments made to submitted content. While Reddit is a pseudonymous site, with users creating usernames but providing no biographical data, an informal survey posted to a large shared interest community yielded 734 responses including age and gender of users. This provided a large amount of contextual biographical data with which to analyse user profiles at the first level of Computer Mediated Discourse Analysis (CMDA), articulated by Susan Herring. The results indicate that older Reddit users both formulate more complex writing and enjoy more success when rated by other users. Gender data was incomplete and as such only tentative results could be proposed in that regard.Item ALI Scholarly Communication Librarianship Conference 2018 Conference Handouts(Academic Libraries of Indiana, 2018-10-26) Finlay, Stephen CraigConference program and presenter biographies.Item Alternate Means of Functional Assessment for Sexually Inappropriate Behavior(Indiana University South Bend, 2013-10-09) DePoy, Miranda; Stein, SorahAside from traditional functional analysis methods (Iwata et al., 1994), antecedent analysis is a viable means of assessing the function of behavior (Carr & Durand, 1985; Stichter et al., 2009), especially when consequence-based assessment is not ideal. In these cases, antecedent analysis, assessing any reliable precursor or co-varying behaviors, and examining the environmental context in which the behavior occurs can provide the information needed to facilitate effective intervention. One method of assessing situations in which a behavior reliably occurs is antecedent analysis (Carr & Durand, 1985; Stichter et al., 2009). For example, Meyer (1999) conducted functional assessment of antecedent events, specifically looking at attention and difficulty of presented tasks as probable antecedents to target behavior. In another study, both descriptive and functional analyses were completed. Examining antecedent events suggested demand and attention as reliable antecedent events, while experimental functional analysis confirmed escape as the function (Mace & Belfiore, 1990). In the present study, the participant was fourteen- year old boy, with an Autism diagnosis exhibiting inappropriate sexual behavior. Antecedent analysis indicated two distinct topographies of sexual behavior, with distinct antecedents, and likely two distinct functions.Item Item “And can this be my own world?”: A Contact Dream with Kathryn Davis’s Duplex(The Cincinati Review, 2019) Parker Ervick, KelceyA book review of Kathryn Davis' novel, DuplexItem Another Side of the E-Book Puzzle(Indiana Libraries, 2007) Thomas, Susan E.Electronic books, while not as popular as electronic journals, continue to be produced, marketed, and used with marginal popularity. Why is it that we see a strong public demand for electronic journals and a reluctance to use e-books? One reason that e-journals succeed may be that the articles are often shorter and easier to print. Research on user preferences indicates mixed reactions to the use of e-books. Is it possible that the printed word is the best technology for monographic publications? Is the problem with e-books more complicated than simple nostalgia for the touch and feel of a book? Existing research on the utilization of electronic text has not been widely distributed. This article will review survey responses, reactions, and feelings toward ebooks, along with some of the current research findings indicating there may be more problems with e-books than meet the eye.Item Another World is Possible: Expanding the Imaginary of Scholarly Metrics(Academic Libraries of Indiana, 2018-10-26) Szydlowski, NickElsevier, the world’s largest scholarly publisher, now describes itself as an “information analytics business”. While this rebranding may strike librarians as an Orwellian turn, it is also a sign of the prestige and attractiveness that metrics and analytics possess, both to the investor class and in the dean’s suite. The market for scholarly metrics is growing, and it is not hard to imagine a near future where vendor-supplied data on the impact of scholarship holds ever more influence over the decisions and priorities of academic institutions. But scholarly metrics are deeply flawed. They are rarely valid across disciplines or even sub-disciplines, they are easily and frequently gamed, they recreate entrenched biases, and they deeply influence the form and content of the scholarship they are intended to measure. Embedding these metrics more deeply into discovery tools and workflows will only deepen the distortions they produce in the process of scholarly communication.Item The Application Of Documented Problem Solving In College Introductory Statistics Courses(Clute Institute, 2013) Zhuang, HongIntroductory statistics is an important part of the undergraduate curriculum in business and economics education. A pedagogical method, documented problem solving, is applied in the undergraduate statistics course. This assessment method actively engages students in learning via reflecting their thinking process that helps stimulate metacognition and develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

All sectors need workers skilled in cybersecurity. What will it take to have qualified workforce candidates coming out of education or training programs with the necessary cybersecurity skills and abilities? A global study indicates there will be a shortage of approximately 1.8 million skilled cyber workers in the next few years (Center for Cyber Safety and Education 2017).1 This creates a two-fold problem for national security and protecting our critical infrastructure from cyber attacks. First, is training a sufficient number of new information security workers and, second, is ensuring that existing Information Technology (IT) and cybersecurity workers have the requisite skills to provide necessary levels of security to protect information assets. This paper addresses the second issue – how to better equip learners to enter into, or remain in, the workforce with the necessary cybersecurity skills and abilities. This paper proposes the use of CompetencyBased Education and Mastery Learning (CBML) methodologies as an innovative and more effective approach than the current Outcome-Based Education (OBE) approach. CBML methodologies strive for learners to 1 Frost & Sullivan. 2017 Global Information Security Workforce Study: Benchmarking Workforce Capacity and Response to Cyber Risk, North America Executive master critical skills at a minimum 95% competency level, before moving on to the next knowledge or skill component; rather than the OBE approach, where a “passing” grade of “C” equates to a 70% competency level. From which approach would you want to hire cyber workers for the Healthcare and Public Health sector or the Energy sector?Item Archimedean Closed Lattice-Ordered Groups(Rocky Mountain Mathematics Consortium, 2004-06) Chen, Yuanqian; Conrad, Paul; Darnel, Michael R., 1952-We show that, if an abelian lattice-ordered group is archimedean closed, then each principal l-ideal is also archimedean closed. This has given a positive answer to the question raised in 1965 and hence proved that the class of abelian archimedean closed lattice-ordered groups is a radical class. We also provide some conditions for lattice-ordered group F(Δ,R) to be the unique archimedean closure of Σ (Δ,R).Item Archvillin, a muscle-specific isoform of supervillin, is an early expressed component of the costameric membrane skeleton(The Company of Biologists, 2003-02) Oh, Sang W.; Pope, Robert K.; Smith, Kelly P.; Crowley, Jessica L.; Nebl, Thomas; Lawrence, Jeanne B.; Luna, Elizabeth J.The membrane skeleton protein supervillin binds tightly to both F-actin and membranes and can potentiate androgen receptor activity in non-muscle cells. We report that muscle, which constitutes the principal tissue source for supervillin sequences, contains a ~250 kDa isoform of supervillin that localizes within nuclei and with dystrophin at costameres, regions of F-actin membrane attachment in skeletal muscle. The gene encoding this protein, ‘archvillin’ (Latin, archi; Greek, árchos; ‘principal’ or ‘chief’), contains an evolutionarily conserved, muscle-specific 5¢ leader sequence. Archvillin cDNAs also contain four exons that encode ~47 kDa of additional muscle-specific protein sequence in the form of two inserts within the function-rich N-terminus of supervillin. The first of these muscle-specific inserts contains two conserved nuclear targeting signals in addition to those found in sequences shared with supervillin. Archvillin, like supervillin, binds directly to radiolabeled F-actin and co-fractionates with plasma membranes. Colocalization of archvillin with membraneassociated actin filaments, non-muscle myosin II, and – to a lesser extent – vinculin was observed in myoblasts. Striking localizations of archvillin protein and mRNA were observed at the tips of differentiating myotubes. Transfected protein chimeras containing archvillin insert sequences inhibited myotube formation, consistent with a dominant-negative effect during early myogenesis. These data suggest that archvillin is among the first costameric proteins to assemble during myogenesis and that it contributes to myogenic membrane structure and differentiation.
