The United States is releasing more individuals from prisons than ever before. However, returning citizens face numerous challenges transitioning back into community life and many communities remain ill-equipped in successfully supporting them. This study focuses on transportation as in integral component to the success of returning citizens. Rapid and rigorous qualitative data analysis (RADaR technique) is applied to interviews ( n = 15) with individuals having returned to their community about the impact of transportation on their reentry. Analysis resulted in three primary themes; interviewees reinforced existing knowledge of the issues with transportation disadvantage, transportation is an extension of freedom, and transportation is directly connected to reentry success. These findings suggest a tiered structure of transportation freedom for returning citizens. This model of transportation will aid future researchers and policymakers in considering how to better resource returning citizens to maximize their success.

Improving client outcomes whilst maintaining scheme sustainability In 2010 the Transport Accident Commission commenced its journey in placing Client Outcomes as a corporate objective alongside those of Scheme Viability and Client Experience. It was widely agreed to be the right thing to do but also took a leap of faith in that the impact of this focus on the more established scheme measures was at that time unknown. Through the use of both quantitative and qualitative data analysis, this presentation aims to review the hypothesis that including Client Outcomes as a corporate objective would strengthen the management of scheme viability and client experience.

AbstractThis paper investigates the mortality statistics of the COVID-19 pandemic from the United States perspective. Using empirical data analysis and statistical inference tools, we bring out several exciting and important aspects of the pandemic, otherwise hidden. Specific patterns seen in demo-graphics such as race/ethnicity and age are discussed both qualitatively and quantitatively. We also study the role played by factors such as population density. Connections between COVID-19 and other respiratory diseases are also covered in detail. The temporal dynamics of the COVID-19 outbreak and the impact of vaccines in controlling the pandemic are also looked at with sufficient rigor. It is hoped that statistical inference such as the ones gathered in this paper would be helpful for better scientific understanding, policy preparation and thus adequately preparing, should a similar situation arise in the future.

The Impact

The problem of the functional value advancement on digital media resulted in increased competitiveness in the face of the current industrial era 4.0. Prospective professionals are also required to have knowledge and abilities that can compete in the current industrial era 4.0. The new chapter of industry 4.0 also has a significant impact, especially in work. One of them is the number of abilities or skills that must be owned by the community, especially students, to get a job. However, many students find it challenging to find work in today's digital and industrial age. They also have minimal experience and knowledge in utilizing digital media. The purpose of this research is to find out more about the reasons for utilizing the advancement of the functional value of digital media along with the impact and results of the advancement of the functional value of digital media for students in facing the current industrial era 4.0. The authors used questionnaires, observations, and online literature studies to obtain the data needed and used them as references by comparing, analyzing, and matching before completing the study. The study used Miles and Huberman qualitative data analysis. The data obtained will be analyzed descriptively qualitatively. The results showed that in the research sample, namely students of the Faculty of Cultural Sciences batch 2020 Universitas Airlangga, the advancement of the functional value of digital media had had a positive impact and results. Both in increasing the skills needed in the competition of the industrial era 4.0 and obtaining information and opportunities for students to participate in internships, volunteers, and others that support the improvement of experience.

The film is a depiction of meaning made in visual form. The study aims to see the representation of eastern immigrants in The Visitor. Motivated by the 9/11 event which took place in New York, the United States that made a negative stigma of eastern immigrants, the film tells the friendship between Western and Eastern people. Researchers use Dramatistic Pentad analysis to see how Eastern immigrant representations are displayed using act, scene, agent, agency, and purpose analyses. Researchers also used the theory of Orientalism by Edward Said to see Eastern and Western depictions. Researchers examined the six scenes in The Visitor film, using qualitative data analysis. The results showed that the film gave a positive image of eastern immigrants to change the negative perception of Western peoples towards Muslims.

O presente estudo visa analisar a representação dos atores sociais em discursos sobre a imigração brasileira em Portugal, tendo em vista os eixos da referenciação nominal, da dêixis pessoal, da manifestação de topoi, da intertextualidade e da interdiscursividade, a partir de uma abordagem baseada nos Estudos Críticos do Discurso (KhosraviNik & Unger 2016; Van Dijk 1984, 2006, 2018; Wodak 2001; e.o.). Para a sua realização, foram selecionados 143 comentários públicos de páginas de jornais portugueses no Facebook, coletados entre 29 de agosto de 2018 e 30 de abril de 2019, com conteúdos que apresentaram manifestações de Othering. Após o tratamento e análise qualitativa destes dados, concluiu-se que este tipo de discurso, ao realizar-se numa plataforma altamente interativa, apresenta relações com as agendas destes geradores de conteúdo e tem por fim outros intuitos implícitos, tais como o impacto em termos interacionais e a amplificação das ideologias do grupo de pertencimento.The current study aims to analyse the representation of social actors in discourses about Brazilian immigration in Portugal, taking into account nominal reference, personal deixis, topoi manifestation, intertextuality and interdiscursivity, based on the Critical Discourse Studies' approach (KhosraviNik & Unger 2016; Van Dijk 1984, 2006, 2018; Wodak 2001; e.o.). For sampling, 143 public comments of pages of Portuguese newspapers on Facebook were collected between August 2018 and April 2019, all of which presented Othering-related content. After treatment and qualitative data analysis, it was possible to conclude that this type of discourse, once on a highly interactive platform, present close relation to agendas of content generators, having other implicit goals such as the impact on audience interaction and the amplification of in-group ideologies.

The Impact

The research aims of this project were to understand the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on pregnancy, birthing, and postpartum experiences in the United States. Our data include responses from 34 states within the US. Findings from our analyses indicate that higher perceived social support predicted higher scores of well-being, while higher scores of perceived loneliness predicted lower scores of well-being, and higher trauma predicted lower well-being measured as satisfaction with life. Qualitative data support these findings, as well as the finding that there were various sources of stress for respondents during pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum timeframe—particularly in terms of managing work/occupation obligations and childcare. Additionally, this research fills a gap in understanding infant feeding in emergencies. Respondents perceived that early release from the hospital reduced access to lactation support, and many respondents reported receiving free samples of breastmilk substitutes through a variety of sources.

Short Term Study

Purpose This study used a mixed-methods design to assess changes in students' cultural awareness during and following a short-term study abroad. Method Thirty-six undergraduate and graduate students participated in a 2-week study abroad to England during the summers of 2016 and 2017. Quantitative data were collected using standardized self-report measures administered prior to departure and after returning to the United States and were analyzed using paired-samples t tests. Qualitative data were collected in the form of daily journal reflections during the trip and interviews after returning to the United States and analyzed using phenomenological methods. Results No statistically significant changes were evident on any standardized self-report measures once corrections for multiple t tests were applied. In addition, a ceiling effect was found on one measure. On the qualitative measures, themes from student transcripts included increased global awareness and a sense of personal growth. Conclusions Measuring cultural awareness poses many challenges. One is that social desirability bias may influence responses. A second is that current measures of cultural competence may exhibit ceiling or floor effects. Analysis of qualitative data may be more useful in examining effects of participation in a short-term study abroad, which appears to result in decreased ethnocentrism and increased global awareness in communication sciences and disorders students. Future work may wish to consider the long-term effects of participation in a study abroad for emerging professionals in the field.
