    Careful and Creative Craftwork: How CNMs Legitimize Risk and Responsibility Talk with Pregnant People with a BMI of 30 or Higher: A Critical Discourse Analysis
    (2021-05) Martin, Katherine
    Background: Society has placed an enormous amount of the responsibility for reducing risk during pregnancy on the pregnant people themselves. This neoliberal view of individual responsibility especially has affected pregnant people with a BMI of 30 or higher. They have endured many consequences from this, such as emotional distress, loss of autonomy, stigmatization, marginalization, and are blamed for the increased risk to the baby from their body size. Aims: I sought to learn how CNMs legitimize their talk about risk and to gain a critical understanding of how CNMs are reproducing and/or resisting societal discourses of risk and responsibility with pregnant people with BMIs of 30 or higher. Methods: Van Leeuwen’s categories of legitimation (authorization, moral evaluation, and rationalization) provided the theoretical framework. In an outpatient clinic, I recorded and transcribed verbatim twelve prenatal appointments where CNMs were implementing a new risk-reduction guideline for patients with a BMI of 30 or higher in pregnancy. Using a critical discourse analysis approach influenced by van Leeuwen, Fairclough, and Gee, the transcripts were coded for van Leeuwen’s categories and subcategories of legitimation and then analyzed. Findings: CNMs predominantly used authorization to legitimize the introduction of the BMI guideline in the appointments. When the CNM would give the weight gain, diet, or exercise recommendations, the CNM would follow a similar sequence in their conversation to the other CNMs in the study. The sequence began with CNM stating the recommendation and then assessing for compliance. If the pregnant person was in compliance, there would be explicit praise. If not, either the pregnant person or the CNM would offer an explanation. Then, CNM would validate the explanation. When the CNMs discussed the risks or reducing the risks of having a BMI of 30 or higher, the CNM would most often use the legitimation category rationalization. Conclusions:. CNMs were both reproducing and resisting ideas of risk and responsibility when discussing the BMI guideline. The CNMs appeared aware of the moral weight of the conversation but did not stray from the guideline’s recommendations. CNMs carefully crafted their language to meet both the needs of their patients and the needs of the organization.

    Experimental Evidence on the Effect of Insurance on Producer Behavior in the Face of Price Risk
    (2019-08) Kadam, Aditi
    Production risks can be caused by indirect factors such as weather, and direct factors such as price. Failure of constructing resilient financial markets to mitigate these price risks, can cause damaging and lasting impacts to the economy. This study contributes to the literature on risk and uncertainty by testing the effect of insurance, both full and partial, on producer behavior in the face of price risk. I use an experimental setting to address the relationship between behavior under price risk uncertainty, and how that behavior is shaped in the presence of insurance. I find that participants do not adjust their production choices in situations of price risk. When provided with insurance, they do increase production significantly, and reduce it when it is unavailable. The positive effect of full insurance, is higher than that of partial insurance. By comparing the effect of partial, and full insurance, I find evidence for moral hazard.

    Hennepin County Pedestrian Crash Study
    (2023) Ackerman, Ryan; Johnson, Isak; Murphy, Daniel; Trejo, Tristan
    Our study analyzed historical pedestrian crashes throughout Hennepin County and ranked crash locations based on crash occurrence over a ten-year period (2012-2021). For analysis purposes, crashes were split into two categories: intersections and midblocks. Crashes primarily occurred in urban areas, and collisions resulting in fatal injuries were rare. We created a tiered ranking system to group together locations with similar levels of crash occurrence to guide potential county improvement projects. Using ArcGIS Pro, we developed crash point maps to spatially represent crash locations and severity in each Hennepin County Commissioner District. We then created Safety Performance Functions (SPFs) by conducting a statistical analysis of crash data using a Negative Binomial Regression model. The variables we chose for statistical analysis were identified in previous studies as statistically significant variables that influenced pedestrian crashes. We used our SPFs to predict future crash locations and crash severity at intersections and midblocks over the next ten years. Our SPFs predicted fewer crashes at intersections and midblocks over the next ten years than the actual number of crashes over the tenyear study period. This can be partially attributed to our model, which was relatively weak, but can also be attributed to a lack of data. In particular, pedestrian count data would likely have increased the accuracy of our model, but this is not easily accessible. Our study opens the door to future research by transportation planning professionals who can make proactive, informed decisions about reducing pedestrian crash risk throughout Hennepin County based on our research.

    Intergenerational Continuity of Adverse Childhood Experiences in High-Risk Families
    (2015-08) Narayan, Angela
    Despite the wealth of research on adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) in nationally representative samples and intergenerational maltreatment in high-risk families, no study has merged these concepts to examine the intergenerational continuity of ACEs in severely impoverished families. This study investigated intergenerational ACEs and the role of risk, promotive, and protective factors, including adulthood adversity, harsh versus effective parenting, and social support quality, in homeless parents and 4-6-year-old children. Parents (n = 107; M = 31.27 years, SD = 6.59, range = 20.01-49.47 years; 63.6% African-American, 12.1% Caucasian, 8.4% Biracial/Multiracial, and 15.9% other) completed the ACEs survey developed by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention; measures on adulthood adversity, child ACEs, and social support; and observational assessments of parenting. Path analyses revealed direct effects of parent ACEs to child ACEs and partial mediation of adulthood adversity, but not harsh parenting, for intergenerational continuity of ACEs. Rates of prospective ACEs continuity were approximately 80%. Parental social support was a promotive factor for lower child ACEs. Findings emphasize the role of negative early experiences in the intergenerational continuity of ACEs, above and beyond adversity in adulthood. Providing resources to high-risk parents with histories of ACEs and improving parental support from partners may be promising strategies to deter generational trauma.

    Ready Or Not: On The Climate Vulnerability Of Sport Organizations
    (2020-05) Orr, Madeleine
    Since the 1970s, North America has experienced warmer and wetter winters, and more frequent extreme weather events such as hurricanes and heat waves. These climate shifts have carried consequences for the business and performance of sport at all levels, such as event cancellations, decreased participation rates, and facility damages. In the format of three articles, this dissertation examines sport organizations’ climate vulnerability. The first article (Chapter 2) reviews the extant literature on sport and the natural environment, advances two sport-specific constructs for climate vulnerability: climate impacts on organizations (CIO) and organizational climate capacity (OCC), and proposed a framework that graphically represents the various states of vulnerability an organization may face based on the organization’s exposure to hazards, sensitivity to hazards, and capacity to respond. The second article (Chapter 3) presents a qualitative study using 16 semi-structured interviews with sport practitioners whose organizations have recently faced climate hazards, to determine dimensions for OCC. Findings revealed the dimensions of OCC are infrastructural resources, natural resources, planning and development resources, human resources, financial resources, and network and relationship resources. These dimensions bear resemblance to the dimensions of organizational capacity and adaptive capacity, adopting five dimensions from organizational capacity and the natural environment focus of adaptive capacity. In the third article (Chapter 4), the construct of OCC is operationalized beyond a set of dimensions into a list of 77 indicators, organized by dimensions. This list of indicators was developed through an online Delphi study involving 25 academic experts in sport management, and represents an important step in rendering the construct more applicable and understandable for sport managers.
