- The Role of Persuasion Theory and Advertising Message Strategy: Implications for attacking a market Leader.
- Creator
- Salcedo, Joseph, Berkheimer, Blake, Smith, Allen E., Office of Undergraduate Research and Inquiry
- Abstract/Description

Competitive theory suggests market challengers embrace either a head-to-head attack or flanking maneuver as alternative strategies to attack the market leader. Our research-in-progress, a threephase systematic research plan of action, will reveal whether Monster Energy drink should convey action sports (head-to-head attack) or academic performance (flanking strategy) in advertising targeting college students to challenge Red Bull, the market leader.

Show moreCompetitive theory suggests market challengers embrace either a head-to-head attack or flanking maneuver as alternative strategies to attack the market leader. Our research-in-progress, a threephase systematic research plan of action, will reveal whether Monster Energy drink should convey action sports (head-to-head attack) or academic performance (flanking strategy) in advertising targeting college students to challenge Red Bull, the market leader. Phase I, Content Analysis of Red Bull Advertising, revealed emphasis on action sports. However, Phase II (i.e., secondary, qualitative, and survey research) revealed college students use energy drinks to increase academic performance. Phase III, Experimental Research, estimates the relative persuasive effectiveness of action sports versus academic themes in Monster advertisements. Ho: no different in persuasive effectiveness among action sports, academic performance, and neutral theme (control) on dependent variables (likeability, relevance, intention to buy). Ethical standards were met by using valid scales borrowed from scholarly marketing journals, consent form, and APA standards.

- The Role of the Nurse Navigator: Reducing 30-Day Readmissions?.
- Creator
- Leavitt, Mary Ann M., Graduate College
- Abstract/Description
-
The aim of this study is to compare readmission rates for patients who transition home from the hospital under the care of the Heart Failure Nurse Navigator (HFNN) with patients who receive usual home health care. Heart failure (HF) accounts for 20% of all hospital admissions and is the most common diagnosis associated with a 30-day readmission of Medicare patients. Nationally, 24.7% of patients with HF are readmitted within 30 days. The AHA and ACCF recognize a critical need for evidence...
Show moreThe aim of this study is to compare readmission rates for patients who transition home from the hospital under the care of the Heart Failure Nurse Navigator (HFNN) with patients who receive usual home health care. Heart failure (HF) accounts for 20% of all hospital admissions and is the most common diagnosis associated with a 30-day readmission of Medicare patients. Nationally, 24.7% of patients with HF are readmitted within 30 days. The AHA and ACCF recognize a critical need for evidence identifying best processes of care in transition from hospital to home. The comprehensive NN role not only teaches the patient to adapt to the prescribed medical protocol, but also provides connectedness and relationship. Home health nurses taught to perform the role of a HFNN may improve coordination of post-hospital care and patient outcomes. The research design will be sequential mixedmethod. Phase I will be a quantitative, quasi-experimental randomized study of the effect of HFNN on 30-day readmissions. Pre- and post-testing for HF self-care knowledge and quality-of-life will be analyzed by repeated ANOVA. Independent T-tests will compare readmission rates between groups. Phase II will be a qualitative study of transitioning home under the care of the HFNN. Intervention patients will be invited to focus groups, and their responses to semi-structured questions will be coded using conventional content analysis. It is hoped that the quantitative portion of the study will demonstrate that the HFNN intervention will keep more patients out of the hospital for at least 30 days and improve the HF self-care knowledge and quality of life. The qualitative portion may uncover unknown elements of the HFNN/patient dynamic, as well as themes helpful in formulating further questions about care of the patient with HF.

An exacting command of language in his employ, journalist Camille Desmoulins was arguably one of the most dangerous and cunning players in the political arena of revolutionary France. His work is a clear synthesis of linguistic and political theory but what, precisely, made it so effective?

Show moreAn exacting command of language in his employ, journalist Camille Desmoulins was arguably one of the most dangerous and cunning players in the political arena of revolutionary France. His work is a clear synthesis of linguistic and political theory but what, precisely, made it so effective? When his work is regarded collectively, a theme emerges wherein Desmoulins uses language designed to categorically perpetuate suspicion. Using the principles of lexical semantics, rhetoric, and connotation, this project seeks to examine the semantic undercurrents of Desmoulins’s works as they relate specifically to the public perception of suspicion, and to define the linguistic parameters within which he operated. An analysis of selected examples will demonstrate how the evocative language speaks to the author’s acute cognizance of his audience and his talent for inflaming the collective unrest through the use of tropes; specifically dehumanization, personification, and the neologism brissoter. Additionally, a feature analysis of nouns and verbs drawn from a sample of Desmoulins’s work further identifies tropes and atypical semantic forms and argues that, through his linguistic manipulation, he was able to sow suspicion among the mercurial Third Estate; both against the monarchy and the ultra-radical Republic.

Show moreThe purpose of this research project is to investigate the impact adult day care centers have on cognitively impaired older adults and their caregivers. I extracted data from records of the Louis and Anne Green Memory and Wellness Center participants who have given consent and attended the center for a minimum of six months. I have discovered that participants benefit from this day center because they experience an improved quality of life, maintain a higher level of functioning, have more opportunities for socialization, and establish friendships and connections. Caregivers of participants enrolled in the day center also benefit because they receive access to caregiver support groups, are temporarily freed from the responsibility to care, and are pleased that participants attend the center and enjoy attending the center. These findings contribute to the current body of research literature that supports the contributions of adult day care centers.

Show moreGlobalization has become an agent of socioeconomic and communicative integration and today it envelops all aspects of human life. The quasi-immediate exchange of information that surpasses the now ancient barriers of time and space has triggered a sociocultural revolution with perceptible effects on the linguistic characteristics that are at the core of collective and individual identities. Among the most noticeable cultural changes are neologisms, which are often at the center of heated linguistic debates. Some claim that the increased use of neologisms in the Italian language is a natural component of the fluctuating nature of a language and that their use enriches it. Linguistic purists take a more conservative stance and view neologisms as a linguistic enemy who blurs the distinctive differences among languages and robs them of their uniqueness. Neologisms are a mirror of contemporary Italian society and their use entails an often subconscious support of certain social currents.
