From colleagues to conferences: Where public administration instructors learn about AI
With artificial intelligence (AI) integration continually increasing in public service, there is growing pressure on public administration instructors to learn more about how the technology works and how to apply it in the classroom. While current literature examines how instructors use it in their courses, less is known about how they pursue AI literacy. The reflection addresses the following question: Through which channels, do instructors in N…
The Untapped Potential of Social Marketing: How a Sample of Florida Cities Engage in Its Practice
The purpose of this study is to investigate how cities are developing and implementing social marketing practices. Driven by a 2017 survey administered to a sample of Florida’s public officials, the research design of this study employs an exploratory data analysis including cluster analysis, univariate visualization, and bivariate visualization to information regarding public social marketing utilization. The findings of this study suggest possi…
A Microcosm of Tobacco Research: An American Indian Northern Plains Review
Objectives: Despite decades of continued commercial tobacco prevention and control efforts, smoking rates in Northern Plains American Indian (AI) communities within the United States continues to be remarkably high. We sought to take a microcosmic view of AI tobacco research in the Northern Plains region to identify the types of tobacco-related research that has been completed, and to critically examine whether the four areas of community importa…
Trust in Government and Covid-19 Response Policy: A Comparative Approach
As nations work to respond to COVID-19, trust in government is critical to achieving health outcomes. Studies argue that greater trust in government is associated with increased compliance with COVID-19 public health policies. This analysis investigated predictors of public trust during COVID-19 in 16 countries grouped in four regions. The data used (n = 47,000) are taken from the Worldwide COVID-19 Attitudes and Beliefs dataset. Five hypotheses …
Tracking Together’—Simultaneous Use of Human and Dog Activity Trackers: Protocol for a Factorial, Randomized Controlled Pilot Trial
Dog-walkers are more likely to achieve moderate-intensity physical activity. Linking the use of activity trackers with dog-walking may be beneficial both in terms of improving the targeted behavior and increasing the likelihood of sustained use. This manuscript aims to describe the protocol of a pilot study which intends to examine the effects of simultaneous use of activity trackers by humans and their dogs on the physical activity level of huma…
Homestead exemptions and efficiency: Using data envelopment analysis (DEA) to examine Georgia county schools
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to test the theory of optimal monitoring, which posits that more generous county homestead exemptions lower the incentive for residents to monitor school operations, thereby increasing inefficiency in service outcomes. Design/methodology/approach This research uses two-stage Simar and Wilson’s data envelopment analysis to assess county school districts’ efficiency in the state of Georgia for each year from 200…
Measuring social equity in flood recovery funding
Deconstructing causal linkages between place attributes and disaster outcomes at coarse scales like zip codes and counties is difficult because heterogeneous socio-economic characteristics operating at finer scales are masked. However, capturing detailed disaster outcomes about individuals and households for large areas can be equally complicated. This dichotomy highlights the need for a more nuanced and empirically-driven approach to understandi…
