Ignite: A Promotional Magazine for Liberty University

For my senior thesis I received special permission to do a project instead of a paper. I named my magazine Ignite, and it is a promotional magazine. The magazine target audience is primarily high school juniors and seniors who are interested in attending Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia. I completely designed the magazine from beginning to end, with the exception of the photographs. The photographs used are ones approved by the Liberty University Marketing Department that the author has permission to reprint. This way, if Liberty University decides to add this publication to their line of products the school already has the copyrights to the images. All graphic design elements and writings are the sole creation of the author. The goal of this magazine is to help Liberty University and to help prospective students as they are going through their college selection process. I want this magazine to be something that Liberty can use for years to come with bits of updating throughout the years as the school sees fit. I believe this magazine can be used to create interest in Liberty University and will be something that few other colleges can offer to students. It is something I would like to give back to the school for the experiences I have been blessed to have here

Extending dental nurses' duties: a national survey investigating skill-mix in Scotland's child oral health improvement programme (Childsmile)

Background: Childsmile is Scotland’s national child oral health improvement programme. To support the delivery of prevention in general dental practice in keeping with clinical guidelines, Childsmile sought accreditation for extended duty training for dental nurses to deliver clinical preventive care. This approach has allowed extended duty dental nurses (EDDNs) to take on roles traditionally undertaken by general dental practitioners (GDPs). While skill-mix approaches have been found to work well in general medicine, they have not been formally evaluated in dentistry. Understanding the factors which influence nurses’ ability to fully deliver their extended roles is necessary to ensure nurses’ potential is reached and that children receive preventive care in line with clinical guidance in a cost-effective way. This paper investigates the supplementation of GDPs’ roles by EDDNs, in general dental practice across Scotland. Methods: A cross-sectional postal survey aiming to reach all EDDNs practising in general dental practice in Scotland was undertaken. The survey measured nurses’: role satisfaction, perceived utility of training, frequency, and potential behavioural mediators of, preventive delivery. Frequencies, correlations and multi-variable linear regression were used to analyse the data. Results: Seventy-three percent of practices responded with 174 eligible nurses returning questionnaires. Respondents reported a very high level of role satisfaction and the majority found their training helpful in preparing them for their extended role. While a high level of preventive delivery was reported, fluoride vanish (FV) was delivered less frequently than dietary advice (DA), or oral hygiene advice (OHA). Delivering FV more frequently was associated with higher role satisfaction (p < 0.001). Those nurses who had been practising longer reported delivering FV less frequently than those more recently qualified (p < 0.001). Perceived difficulty of delivering preventive care (skills) and motivation to do so were most strongly associated with frequency of delivery (p < 0.001 for delivery of FV, DA and OHA). Conclusions: This study has provided insight into EDDNs’ experiences and demonstrates that with appropriate training and support, EDDNs can supplement GDPs’ roles in general dental practice in Scotland. However, some barriers to delivery were identified with delivery of FV showing scope for improvement

Shared Governance in the British Columbia Post-Secondary Education System: The Boards\u27 Role in Decision-Making

In 1995, the membership of governing boards in colleges in British Columbia changed from lay persons appointed by the provincial government. The new boards consisted of fewer lay appointees with the addition of elected faculty, staff, and students, together with the college presidents and education council chairs as non-voting members. The presence of employees and students on boards was viewed by most observers as likely to enhance the quality of decision-making in general. However, that same presence could introduce an element of real or potential conflict of interest (Flanigan, 1994). The broadening of input and decision-making brought about in the shared governance model, assuming the constituents could effectively manage the actual sharing of power, was expected to lead to improved quality of decisions and also to greater acceptance by stakeholders (Draper and Van Groningen, 1990). Moreover, boards were also the final authority for setting institutional budgets and were the legislated employers. The established culture of boards had changed and had affected the boards\u27 role in general matters through the sheer presence of different constituents. In matters of finance and labour relations, boards had to find ways to fulfill their obligations while maintaining their integrity and credibility. This quantitative study reported the views and experiences of board members concerning three aspects of leadership through shared governance in three decision-making contexts. The study explored the different views and experiences among seventeen colleges and between the six constituent groups of board members, and also identified differences which had emerged since a similar study conducted by the researcher in 1995/96. Colleges were found to differ significantly in philosophies and practices toward shared governance, particularly in relation to conflict of interest and the existence of clear policies and procedures. Presidents were found to be troubled by internal members\u27 lack of independence from their constituencies. The generally negative views overall of shared governance by presidents, although cited as common by Baliles (1996), were in marked contrast to the earlier study. In contrast, internal members had generally reported more positive opinions with the passage of time, while external members had remained consistently positive toward shared governance

Creating Promotional Text and Video as Media to Promote Tourism at Department of Youth and Sport and Tourism of Wonogiri Regency

ABSTRACT Deas Aliska Andari, 2017, Creating Promotional Text and Video as Media to Promote Tourism at Department of Youth and Sport and Tourism of Wonogiri Regency, English Diploma Program, Faculty of Cultural Sciences, Sebelas Maret University. The aims of this final project report are to describe (1) the internship activities that I have done during the internship at the Department of Youth and Sport and Tourism of Wonogiri Regency from 30 January to 1 March 2017; (2) the difficulties that I encountered during conducting the internship; (3) and the solutions to solve those difficulties. There were two activities which I have performed during the internship. The first activity was making promotional texts about tourism attractions, local dishes and cultural events. The second activity was making a promotional video. In making promotional texts, I collected data and information by doing observation, doing interview with local people, staffs, tour guides and caretakers of the tourist attractions and doing documentation review to leaflets and data from the department . I also obtained additional activities such as attending morning briefing at the department, reporting my tasks, and making an internship report. There were some difficulties that I faced such as finding a location of tourist attractions, translating cultural terms, selecting pictures of tourist attractions, and finding technical problems of the video.The solutions that I had done to solve the difficulties were using Longman Dictionary, discussing with the supervisor, and rearranging the video
