The Nutrition Environment Measurements Survey: An Assessment of the Vending Machine Food and Drink Environment at Georgia State University

Purpose: Vending machines are a component of the food environment that influences dietary choices. Previous vending machine studies have focused on schools and work sites. The purpose of this study was to utilize the Nutrition Environment Measurements Survey-Vending (NEMS-V) online tool to evaluate and rank the nutritional value of the vending environment of a large urban university. Methods: A sample size of 40 vending machines at Georgia State University (GSU) was chosen. A list of products in each machine was recorded and given either a red, yellow or green ranking based on their nutrient content. Finally, the NEMS-V online tool was used to generate a report card for each individual machine and for the entire university. Results: No vending machines were given either the Gold (greater than 50% items ranked green or yellow) or Silver (greater than 40% items ranked green or yellow) ranking. Five machines were given the Bronze level ranking, which meant the machines contained at least 30% yellow or green items. The remaining 35 machines contained less than 30% green or yellow items and were therefore not able to be awarded a ranking. Out of the 40 total machines sampled, less than 30% of them could be ranked and therefore the university could not be given an overall award. Conclusions: The poor nutritional quality of the vending environment at Georgia State University indicates a need for change. Improving the number of vending items from red to yellow or green will offer more variety and more nutritious choices for students

Bus Shelters as Shared Public and Private Entities; and Bus Shelter Advertising Contracts (BSACs), a Product and Source of Global Change: an Overview, History, and Comparison

The transit shelter, the space where riders make the transition from open space to more controlled buses and trains, is in many cases the site of a public-private transaction. Here, government agencies contract private companies to build and maintain shelters in exchange for governmental allowance of advertising in these locations. This dual purpose—the shelter serves concurrently as protection for transit users and as a moneymaker—means the space is contested, with economic and social needs often at odds. Bus shelter advertising contracts (BSACs), increasingly operated by large corporations, have resulted in widespread networks of bus shelters; observing these renders processes of globalization—generally not visible at the street level—more legible. Drawing from case studies of Lyon, France, and Los Angeles and New Orleans, United States, this thesis describes successes and failures both in the implementation of bus shelter contracts and in the provision of public amenities via shelters

Exploring multimedia and interactive technologies

The goal of multimedia design strategies and innovation is to produce meaningful learning environments that relate to and build upon what the learner already knows and what the learner seeks. The multimedia tools used to achieve knowledge transfer should activate recall or prior knowledge and help the learner alter and encode new structures. Traditionally, multimedia has been localized to specific delivery systems and demographics based on the government, industry, or academic concentration. The presenter will explore the introduction of immersive telecommunications technologies, constructivist learning methodologies, and adult learning models to standardize networking and multimedia-based services and products capable of adapting to wired and wireless environments, different devices and conditions on a global scale
