Narratives and the Policy Process: Applications of the Narrative Policy Framework. Chapter 10: Innovations and Future Directions for the Narrative Policy Framework
(Pressbooks, 2022)The NPF started as an iterative scientific journey exploring whether narratives play a role in the policy process. Because we were prepared to be wrong—even warned and such—we never would have predicted what the next fifteen ... -
Narratives and the Policy Process: Applications of the Narrative Policy Framework. Chapter 9: A Narrative Policy Framework Solution to Understanding Climate Change Framing Research
(Pressbooks, 2022)The climate change framing literature is vast. So much so that researchers—whether seasoned framing scholars or those foraying into climate change framing research for the first time—can easily be overwhelmed by the sheer ... -
Narratives and the Policy Process: Applications of the Narrative Policy Framework. Chapter 8: A Nonviolent Narrative for European Integration?
(Pressbooks, 2022)Can we craft a narrative of European integration that contrasts populist narratives while resonating with the concerns of disaffected citizens? If this task is feasible, how do we leverage the Narrative Policy Framework ... -
Narratives and the Policy Process: Applications of the Narrative Policy Framework. Chapter 7: Sanctuary Cities, Focusing Events, and the Solidarity Shift: A Standard Measurement of the Prevalence of Victims for the Narrative Policy Framework
(Pressbooks, 2022)Numerous state and local jurisdictions across the United States have adopted policies limiting their cooperation with federal deportation efforts carried out by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Sometimes referred ... -
Narratives and the Policy Process: Applications of the Narrative Policy Framework. Chapter 6: Speaking from Experience: Medicaid Consumers as Policy Storytellers
(Pressbooks, 2022)Kentucky’s proposed Medicaid reforms, initiated in 2016 and blocked in federal court in 2018 and again in 2019, elicited an extraordinary volume of public input on the value of Medicaid (publicly-funded health insurance ... -
Narratives and the Policy Process: Applications of the Narrative Policy Framework. Chapter 5: Lost in Translation: Narrative Salience of Fear > Hope in Prevention of COVID-19
(Pressbooks, 2022)Using short, policy-image-like narratives, we explore the relationship between narrative agreement and narrative impacts in the case of COVID-19 in the US. Building upon previous research which identified attention narratives ... -
Narratives and the Policy Process: Applications of the Narrative Policy Framework. Chapter 4: Agreement and Trust: In Narratives or Narrators?
(Pressbooks, 2022)Narratives concerning the working class and their relationship to climate change are important. In particular, how the narrative constructs the relationship and, within this, who communicates a narrative (the narrator) is ... -
Narratives and the Policy Process: Applications of the Narrative Policy Framework. Stepping Forward: Towards a More Systematic NPF with Automation
(Pressbooks, 2022)Advancements in automated text analysis have substantially increased our capacity to study large volumes of documents systematically in policy process research. The Narrative Policy Framework (NPF)—which promotes empirical ... -
Narratives and the Policy Process: Applications of the Narrative Policy Framework. Chapter 2: Discourse Network Analysis of Nuclear Narratives
(Pressbooks, 2022)This study combines insight from discourse network analysis (DNA) and the Narrative Policy Framework (NPF) to develop a new approach to studying narrative discourse within and across policy coalitions. The approach facilitates ... -
Narratives and the Policy Process: Applications of the Narrative Policy Framework. Chapter 1: A Brief Introduction to the Narrative Policy Framework
(Pressbooks, 2022)A long history of literature describes how stories are central to how humans understand and communicate about the world around them. The NPF applies these discoveries to the policy process, whereby narratives are meaning-making ... -
A sensitive and specific genetically-encoded potassium ion biosensor for in vivo applications across the tree of life
(Public Library of Science, 2022-09)Potassium ion (K+) plays a critical role as an essential electrolyte in all biological systems. Genetically-encoded fluorescent K+ biosensors are promising tools to further improve our understanding of K+-dependent processes ... -
The spillover effects of parental verbal conflict on classmates' cognitive and noncognitive outcomes
(Wiley, 2022-11)This study shows that children exposed to Interparental Verbal Conflict (IPVC) exert negative spillovers on their peers. Our first identification strategy uses within-school, across-classroom variation in peer's IPVC in ... -
Impacts of the four-day school week on early elementary achievement
(Elsevier BV, 2023-01)This study explores the impact of four-day school weeks on early elementary achievement. Using covariate adjusted regression analyses and data on all students who entered kindergarten in Oregon, USA between 2014 and 2016, ... -
Towards a Low-Cost Comprehensive Process for On-Farm Precision Experimentation and Analysis
(MDPI, 2023-02)Few mechanisms turn field-specific ecological data into management recommendations for crop production with appropriate uncertainty. Precision agriculture is mainly deployed for machine efficiencies and soil-based zonal ... -
Stabilizing Effects of Phosphorus-Doped Silicon Nanoparticle Anodes in Lithium-Ion Batteries
(ACS Publications, 2023-01)Phosphorus-doped silicon has been reported to exhibit improved cycling stability and/or higher capacity retention than pure silicon as the anode in lithium-ion batteries. However, crystallite size and particle morphology ... -
Influences of increasing levels of sulfate in drinking water on the intake and use of low-quality forages by beef cattle
(American Registry of Professional Animal Scientists, 2023-02)Objective. This study evaluated the effects of varying sulfate concentrations of water on forage and water intake, digestibility, digestive kinetics, and rumen fermentation characteristics of cattle consuming low-quality ... -
Understanding Local Adaptation to Prepare Populations for Climate Change
(Oxford University Press, 2022-11)Adaptation within species to local environments is widespread in nature. Better understanding this local adaptation is critical to conserving biodiversity. However, conservation practices can rely on species’ trait averages ... -
Quantifying the role of airborne transmission in the spread of COVID-19
(American Institute of Mathematical Sciences, 2022-01)There is an ongoing debate on the different transmission modes of SARS-CoV-2 and their relative contributions to the pandemic. In this paper, we employ a simple mathematical model, which incorporates both the human-to-human ... -
Missense alleles of the HMW glutenin subunits Dx5 and Dy10 have small changes in function relative to missense changes in Puroindoline a and b
(Wiley, 2022-12)Background and Objectives. The high molecular weight glutenin subunit genes (HMW-GS) in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) play a key role in determining dough functionality. More specifically allelic variation for the Glu-D1 ... -
Bispecific Anti-HIV Immunoadhesins That Bind Gp120 and Gp41 Have Broad and Potent HIV-Neutralizing Activity
(MDPI AG, 2021-07)We have constructed bispecific immunoglobulin-like immunoadhesins that bind to both the HIV-envelope glycoproteins: gp120 and gp41. These immunoadhesins have N terminal domains of human CD4 engrafted onto the N-terminus ...
