TITLE: DELAY DISCOUNTING AND CAMPUS SPEEDING BEHAVIORMAJOR PROFESSOR: Dr. Ryan Redner Speeding, as defined by exceeding the speed limit posted in a designated area, is a problem that has a direct negative effect on a majority of America, college campuses not being exempt. A minimal amount of research has been conducted on specifically dangerous driving such as speeding on university campuses; this paper looks to expand upon the existing research. In addition, this study serves the purpose of attempting to correlate speeding and impulsivity. This was achieved by utilizing a survey in conjunction with delay discounting scenarios embedded within. Participants (n = 89) took a survey that involved questions about demographic information and past driving. The survey also included two hypothetical scenarios that encouraged participants to answer whether they would speed in the presented scenarios and at what point. To complete the survey the MCQ (Monetary Choice Questionnaire) was placed at the end. To assess the results the 89 participants were split into two groups two different times to be analyzed. One group was split into an impulsive group and non-impulsive group while the other group was split into speeders and non-speeders. As expected, both the impulsive and speeders were more likely to discount speed at a faster rate; this shown at higher rates in the penalty hypothetical scenario. The implications of this study include that those with that display higher impulsivity, shown through k-values, may have a higher tendency to engage in dangerous driving such as speeding, as well as understanding that penalty conditions, such as point loss, show a correlation with speeding.

Precis intill störtloppsbacken i Åre har vi ritat en universitetsbyggnad som ett nytt campus tillMittuniversitetet. Utbildningarnas inriktningar utgår ifrån Åres drivkrafter; sport, design, turism ochföretagande. Då Åre är och vill fortsätta utvecklas som ett levande samhälle året runt är det viktigt attlocka dit nya invånare. Ett universitet placerat mitt i en av Åres bästa backar, präglat av livsstilen somutgör Åre kan bli en stor dragkraft för unga från hela landet. / Right next to the main downhill slope in Åre we have designed a university building, a new campusfor Mid Sweden University. The study programmes are based on Åre's driving forces; sports, design,tourism and enterprise. Since Åre is and strives to continue to develop as a vibrant community yearround, it is important to attract new residents. A university located by one of Åre's best slopes, definedby the lifestyle that is Åre can be a major attractive force for young people from across the country.

AN ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION OF Todd D. Sigler, for the Doctor of Philosophy degree in Education Administration Higher Education, presented on October 28, 2011, at Southern Illinois University Carbondale. TITLE: COLLECTIVE BEHAVIOR AND CAMPUS PUBLIC ORDER POLICING: A QUALITATIVE STUDY OF MIXED-ISSUE CAMPUS DISTURBANCES AT THREE MIDWEST PUBLIC UNIVERSITIES MAJOR PROFESSOR: Dr. Kathryn Ann Hytten The purpose of this qualitative study analyzed mixed-issue campus disturbance events at three similar public universities located in the Midwest region of the United States. Using a case study research design, the analysis draws from interviews conducted with campus police officers employed at the selected institutions assigned to work one or more disturbances during the last decade. A related purpose analyzed the element of space/location and territoriality where these disturbances occurred, including an assessment of the value and meaning of space to the police and how police use space to achieve public order maintenance objectives. As the primary social control agent, the police - through their interface with crowd participants - can influence positive or negative relationships that subsequently impact disturbance outcomes. The research methodology incorporated naturalistic qualitative methods including: (1) one-on-one interviews of 15 campus police officers - both front-line police officers and command officers divided among three campuses; (2) open source public documents such as task force reports and newspaper articles; and (3) closed-source documents, such as unpublished pre- and post-action reports completed by law enforcement or campus administration. Finally, I conducted field research observations of the disturbance locations combined with my own experience in campus law enforcement. Among some of the important findings are the importance of officer experience, consistent and recent training for officers in both traditional crowd control tactics, as well as crowd management skills, especially communication (accomplished through techniques such as dialogue policing and social media technology to recognize and mitigate triggering behaviors on both sides. Additional public order policing tactics include recognizing the importance of territoriality and the value of mitigating tactics such as crowd combing, and controlling space to reduce density. This study will support law enforcement officials in higher education with planning, developing and responding proactively to disturbances using public order policing strategies suitable for campus communities. Special emphasis is placed on the elaborated social identity model and the negotiated management model to explain police and crowd behaviors. Of value to crowd management practitioners is the critical need to interface crowd theory with practical public order policing techniques to develop an effective response.

Hela världen och så även universitetsstudenter har påverkats avpandemin och viruset Covid-19 under de senaste åren. Studiersom tidigare har hållits på universitet har nu gjorts om tilldistansstudier i väldig stor utsträckning. Tidigare forskning omskillnader i betyg mellan distansstudier och studier påuniversiteten har framför allt fokuserat på frivilligadistansstudier. Resultaten från dessa studier visar att de somstuderar på distans presterar bättre. Då det inte finns sammaincitament vid frivilliga som påtvingade distansstudierundersökte vi om resultaten skiljer sig åt även vid påtvingadedistansstudier. En icke-experimentell kvantitativ tvärsnittsstudieutfördes där en variansanalys gjordes med hjälp av ett envägsoberoende ANOVA och åtta dubbelsidigt oberoende t-test.Beräkningar från ANOVA visar F(1, 950)=7,548, p=0,006.Resultatet visar att det är statistiskt signifikant att påtvingadedistansstudier ger ett högre betyg än om studierna utförs påcampus.
