Academic literature on the topic 'Alumni, ambassador'

<p>ABSTRACT<br />Abang None is a designation for Jakarta Tourism Ambassador. Researchers saw a phenomenon of self-transformation from a tourism ambassador to a celebrity. This phenomenon refers to case studies experienced by Maudy Koesnaedi, Bangpen, and Shabina Gianti. Researchers want to know the personal branding management process they want to form, and convey it to the public through Instagram social media. This study uses qualitative methods, with descriptive case studies, which depart from the Post Positivism paradigm. The concept used is personal branding, and is sharpened by the theory of Communication Private Management (CPM Theory). Data collection techniques are observation, interviews, and documentation analysis. The concept of personal branding proposed by Peter Montoya, refers to eight laws, namely the law of specialization, the law of leadership, the law of personality, the law of distinctiveness. , the law of appearance (the law of visibility), the law of unity, the law of persistence, and the law of good intentions. From these eight laws, the researcher saw that the three sources had different features, were consistent in managing personal branding, and were able to demonstrate good ethics in using social media. The theory of Communication Private Management (CPM Theory), proposed by Sandra Petronio, has five basic assumptions to see how they manage personal information in the public domain. The five assumptions are private information, private boundaries, control and ownership, rule-based management systems, and management dialectics. The three informants in general have known the limitations of their privacy with the public, so they understand the information that is allowed and not to be shared with the public. They have good management, between them and netizens. Researchers hope that further research can further develop the concept of personal branding, and CPM theory. Hopefully this research can be a reference, to be better developed from all aspects.<br /><strong>Keywords:</strong> Personal Branding, Abang None, Celebrity, Instagram</p><p><br />ABSTRAK<br />Abang None merupakan sebutan untuk Duta Pariwisata DKI Jakarta. Peneliti melihat adanya fenomena transformasi diri dari duta pariwisata menjadi seorang selebritis. Fenomena ini mengacu pada studi kasus yang dialami oleh Maudy Koesnaedi, Bangpen, dan Shabina Gianti. Peneliti ingin mengetahui proses pengelolaan personal branding yang ingin mereka bentuk, dan sampaikan ke publik lewat media sosial Instagram. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif, dengan studi kasus deskriptif, yang berangkat dari paradigma Post Positivisme. Konsep yang digunakan adalah personal branding, dan dipertajam dengan teori Communication Private Management (CPM Theory). Teknik pengumpulan datanya ialah observasi, wawancara, dan analisis dokumentasi. Konsep personal branding yang dikemukakan oleh Peter Montoya, mengacu pada delapan hukum, yaitu hukum spesialisasi (the law of specialization), hukum kepemimpinan (the law of leadership), hukum kepribadian (the law of personality), hukum perbedaan (the law of distinctiveness), hukum kenampakan (the law of visibility), hukum kesatuan (the law of unity), hukum keteguhan (the law of persistence), dan hukum maksud baik (the law of good will). Dari kedelapan hukum ini, peneliti melihat bahwa ketiga narsumber memiliki keistimewaan yang berbeda-beda, konsisten dalam mengelola personal branding, dan mampu menunjukkan etika yang baik dalam sosial. Teori Communication Private Management (CPM Theory), yang dikemukakan oleh Sandra Petronio, memiliki lima asumsi dasar untuk melihat bagaimana mereka mengelola informasi yang bersifat pribadi di wilayah publik. Lima asumsi itu ialah informasi privat, batasan privat, kontrol dan kepemilikan, sistem manajemen berdasarkan aturan, dan dialektika manajemen. Ketiga narasumber secara garis besar sudah mengetahui batasan privasi mereka dengan publik, sehingga mereka memahami informasi yang boleh dan tidak untuk dibagikan kepada publik. Mereka memiliki manajemen yang baik, antara mereka dan netizen. Peneliti berharap semoga penelitian selanjutnya bisa lebih mengembangkan konsep personal branding, dan teori CPM. Semoga penelitian ini bisa menjadi rujukan, untuk dikembangkan lebih baik lagi dari segala aspek.</p><p><strong>Kata Kunci:</strong> Personal Branding, Abang None, Selebritis, Instagram</p>

Background: Contamination of the near-patient hospital environment including work surfaces and equipment, contributes to skin colonization and subsequent invasive bacterial infections in hospitalized neonates. In resource-limited settings, cleaning of the neonatal ward environment and equipment is seldom standardized and infrequently audited. Methods: A baseline multimodal assessment of surface and equipment cleaning was performed in a 30-bed high-care neonatal ward in Cape Town, South Africa, October 7–9, 2019. Adequacy of routine cleaning was evaluated using ATP bioluminescence assays, fluorescent ultraviolet (UV) markers, and quantitative bacterial surface cultures. For flat surfaces (eg, tables, incubators, trolleys), a 10×10-cm template was used to standardize the swab inoculum; for small equipment and devices with complex surfaces (eg, humidifiers, suction apparatus, stethoscopes), a standard swabbing protocol was developed for each item. Swabs in liquid transport medium were processed in the laboratory by vortexing for 30 seconds, plating onto blood and MacConkey agars, and incubating at 37°C for 48 hours. Manual counting of bacterial colony forming units was performed, followed by conventional biochemical testing and/or VITEK automated identification. Results: Of 100 swabs (58 from surfaces and 42 from equipment), 11 yielded growth of known neonatal pathogens (Enterobacteriaceae, A. baumannii, P. aeruginosa, S. aureus, S. agalactiae, and enterococci), 36 isolated potential neonatal pathogens (mostly coagulase-negative staphylococci). In addition, 4 grew environmental organisms and 49 showed no growth. The highest aerobic colony counts (ACCs) were obtained from swabs of suction tubing, milk kitchen surfaces, humidifiers, and sinks; the median ACC from swabs with any bacterial growth (n = 51) was 3 (IQR, 1–22). Only 40% of the 100 surface and equipment swabs had ATP values <200 relative light units (RLU) threshold for cleanliness. Median ATP values were 301 (IQ range, 179–732) RLUs for surface swabs versus 230 (IQ range, 78–699) RLUs for equipment swabs (P = .233). Of the 100 fluorescent UV markers placed on near-patient surfaces and high-touch equipment, only 23% had been removed after 2 staff shift changes (24 hours later). Surfaces had a higher proportion of UV marker removal than equipment (19 of 58 [32.8%] vs 4 of 42 [9.5%]; P = .008). Conclusions: Environmental cleaning of this neonatal ward was suboptimal, especially for equipment. Improvement of environmental cleaning practices is an important intervention for neonatal infection prevention in resource-limited settings. Future studies should evaluate the impact of staff training, environmental cleaning tools and repeated audit with feedback, on the adequacy of cleaning in neonatal wards.Funding: Funding: for the laboratory work was provided by The Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America (SHEA) International Ambassador Alumni Research Award and a South African Medical Research Council Self-initiated Research (SIR) Grant to Angela Dramowski, who is supported by a NIH Fogarty Emerging Global Leader Award K43 TW010682.Disclosures: None

The State 4-H Council of Missouri 4-H is an experiential leadership opportunity that engages youth as valued, contributing partners and ambassadors of the 4-H organization. While several state programs have a state 4-H council, there is little research regarding these councils or the impacts of state 4-H council service. This study employed a hermeneutic phenomenological approach to explore the experience of State 4-H Council service among alumni within a framework of positive youth development theory. Council membership was found to carry expectations for lasting relationships and a sense of connectedness. In the area of leadership, State 4-H Council service was found to enhance understanding, develop strategies, and foster specific skills that allowed members to utilize these abilities in the early stages of their careers.

Purpose Neither visitors of visiting friends and relatives (VFR) travel nor hosts are homogeneous segments (Griffin & Guttenberg, 2020). For this reason, this study aims to address students as hosts of VFR travel and analyzes differences in the visitor and the host segment. As a result, marketing implications for destination marketing organizations that seek to realize the potential of the student VFR segment arise. Design/methodology/approach This research project adopts a multi-method approach to derive a deeper empirical understanding of visitors’ behaviors and the role of students hosting friends and relatives (SHFR). The quantitative study aims to reveal the relevance and differences between visits to friends (VF) and visits to relatives (VR), whereas the qualitative study elaborates on the findings of the quantitative study and seeks to understand the role and experiences of students as hosts. Findings The findings reveal that VR and VF travelers vary in terms of their expenditure. Hosts’ spending depends on visitors’ budgets; in general, both their direct and indirect (when relatives pay) spending increases when they have visitors. Furthermore, the data identify two distinct hosting styles: functional hosting is concerned with providing outstanding hospitality based on a more traditional, guest-oriented understanding of the role, whereas integrative hosting blurs the lines between hospitality and lifestyle based on a more modern, host-oriented understanding of the role. Research limitations/implications Regarding limitations, this study did not differentiate between students who were simultaneously locals and students who resided in the city only for study purposes. In a similar vein, the cultural background of the students was not considered in the research. Finally, the differences between VF and VR could further be explored in a quantitative follow-up study and in testing for significant differences in SHFR spending behaviors. Further research could examine whether domestic travelers, travelers with cultural proximity and/or short-distance VFR travelers are more likely to visit after COVID-19 as suggested by Backer and Ritchie (2017) in the case of crises and disaster. Practical implications Students as hosts differ from other hosts in VFR travel in their reluctance to embrace conventional tourism products. This study found that place attachment makes hosts of VFR travelers passionate ambassadors and advertisers for the destinations; destination marketing organizations (DMOs) could support this already positive image by providing and supporting students with more detailed information about their cities and the opportunities they offer. Results are of particular relevance because the COVID-19 pandemic is forcing DMOs to develop destination strategies that incorporate social-distancing and avoid crowded places. Social implications When students take their friends out to events and nightclubs, they contribute significantly to experiences that go beyond typical tourism activities such as sightseeing and shopping. By offering special discounts to visitors who come with their hosts, DMOs could help visitors delve more deeply into city life and thereby reduce the likeliness of crowded city centers. Considering the findings relating to the social and emotional qualities of VFR travel, DMO marketing to VFR travelers could benefit from promoting socio-cultural spaces and offerings that value groups’ social ties (e.g. family prices for families with adult children) or alumni status. Originality/value According to the authors’ knowledge, this study is the first which analyzes both, visitors and hosts of VFR travel using a two methods approach. Very recently, Griffin and Guttenberg (2020) miss VFR research focusing on the heterogeneity of the segment, and Backer et al. (2020) claim for more VFR research on the role of hosts carried out outside of Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the UK and the USA. To the authors’ best knowledge, this study is the first which delivers empirical insights on SHFR in Central Europe.

The impact of neo-liberalism on the university sector had profound consequences for the Fulbright program’s ability to support academic research. Binationalism had meant the Australian Fulbright program was well-funded by the Australian government even as the US government reduced its contribution in the late 1960s-70s. From the 1980s further cutbacks meant the program had to turn towards private sector and corporate funding for support, involve the alumni and to introduce targeted scholarships. This raised dilemmas about autonomy and freedom from interference that had plagued the Fulbright program throughout its history.
