Lagoon and sprayfield (LS) is the dominant method of swine manure management despite pressure to transition to environmentally superior technologies. LS is an efficient and cost-effective method of waste management but has negatively impacted the environment and local communities from both discreet events (breeches, flooding) and ongoing issues (odor, disease vectors). The Multilevel Perspective Theory (MLP) is a frame for understanding the relationships between a sociotechnical regime, its surrounding landscape, and emerging niches for sustainable technology development to help align these different levels of perspective and support transitioning toward more sustainable practices. Here, a farm level is added to represent the user perspective of regime technology in complex agriculture systems (MLP + F). We demonstrate how change may influence the North Carolina swine waste management (NC SWM) system through alternative scenarios applied to a conceptual model developed with the MLP + F frame in a methodology for analyzing complex agricultural systems with input from a diverse panel of experts. This case study demonstrates how the methodology can be applied through two NC SWM model scenarios analyzed with fuzzy cognitive mapping techniques. The first scenario explores whether panel recommended changes generate a shift toward sustainable manure management. Inference results suggest that experts have a broad understanding of how these goals may be achieved, but strategies are needed to enhance the specificity of proposed changes. Testing scenarios with more targeted interventions within specific subsystems could provide greater guidance with regard to policy, economic factors, farm practices, or societal demands. The second scenario considers the systemic effect of introducing a manure dewatering process on swine operations, with and without landscape support. Results from this scenario indicate that the more landscape support is engaged, the greater the impact on desirable outcomes. However, contradictions emerged between different versions of this scenario such as increased negative public perceptions despite positive community outcomes. This may require further investigation to tease out potential misalignment between perceptions of a complex system and actual system behaviors.}, journal={FRONTIERS IN SUSTAINABLE FOOD SYSTEMS}, author={Deviney, Alison V. and Classen, John J. and Bruce, Jacklyn A.}, year={2024}, month={Jan} }

Since successful organizational behavior classes and hands on learning can lead to successful graduates, the importance of leadership pedagogy emerges. In the case here, the participants in one organizational behavior class were followed through a single semester providing feedback to the instructors on the perceived effectiveness of the participatory activities. The researchers found that, in this case, the students shared mixed reactions to the activities, but were able to share positive impacts and gains they felt they received from participating in those activities. Readiness skills were developed, however recommendations for further research and practice are included.}, number={3}, journal={Journal of Leadership Education}, publisher={Journal of Leadership Education}, author={Ingerson, Kati and Bruce, Jacklyn}, year={2015}, month={Jul} }

We are being asked to provide the best, most relevant education for today’s diverse student population while facing increasing budget cuts, and at the same time assess and demonstrate the student learning taking place. The argument can be made that students are an educator’s customers. It can also be argued that leadership educators strive to engage students (customers) through the various teaching strategies they employ within their programs, classrooms, or other contexts. In a world with greater emphasis being put on the bottom line of education, we cannot deny the importance of recruiting happy customers (students) who continue to return to our programs. For leadership educators, this means we must meet the needs of our “customers” without diluting or devaluing the educational process and intended outcomes of higher education.}, number={4}, journal={The Journal of Leadership Education}, publisher={Journal of Leadership Education}, author={Moore, Lori and Bruce, Jacklyn}, year={2015}, month={Dec}, pages={106–113} }

Stress- and work-related injuries among nonmigrant farm women is well documented from 1980 through the mid-1990s. A void of literature concerning nonmigrant farm women exists since that time. One possible explanation for this deficit is that United States Department of Agriculture Census of Agriculture data only consider the contributions of women on the farm if they are reported as farm operators. From 2002 to 2007, the number of women farm operators in North Carolina (NC) increased by 3%, and currently 13% of the state’s farms are operated by women. These numbers emphasize the importance of understanding the self-perceived needs of women farmers. A qualitative research project was conducted to investigate the social-emotional needs of NC farm women. Semistructured interviews were conducted with 15 women with whom the NC Agromedicine Institute had previously worked in collaboration on farm health and safety. Key themes from interviews were (1) chameleonic, (2) inseparable connectedness, (3) farm sword, (4) women of a feather, and (5) one size doesn’t fit all. Participants reported multiple roles, difficulty separating from the farm, preferring the farm over any other place, and viewing themselves as misperceived farm professionals. Participants need opportunities to interact with other farm women for support and sharing farm-management techniques. Future study recommendations include (1) inventory existing programs for farm women; (2) further investigate the support and educational needs of farm women; and (3) examine how farm women are perceived by nonfarm individuals.}, number={2}, journal={JOURNAL OF AGROMEDICINE}, author={Tutor-Marcom, Robin and Bruce, Jacklyn and Greer, Annette}, year={2014}, pages={191–200} }

This exploratory pilot study aimed to investigate musculoskeletal symptoms and work tasks in modern, intensive pig barns. This study involved two phases: 1) questionnaire on workers’ MSD symptoms and perceptions of work tasks; and 2) video analysis of posture and lifting exposures during common pork production tasks, including breeding, piglet processing, counting and sorting piglets, vaccinating, and moving dead pigs. Ninety-two percent of workers reported symptoms in at least one body part; 57% reported resulting interruption of work activities. Moving dead pigs resulted in unacceptably high spinal forces during 6 of 18 observations and on average exceeded predicted strength capability for 6 of 7 body parts. Frequency of trunk bending >45 degrees was 8.5/min while sorting piglets; processing piglets showed hand grip frequencies in excess of 27/min. These results suggest a need for interventions to limit bending, lifting, and repetitive gripping. Improvements may include strategies like developing a device or method for catching and lifting piglets to avoid bending, and adapting a piglet processing cart that can limit gripping. There is also substantial opportunity for enhancing working conditions by evaluating the ‘natural experiment’ of work methods undergoing change right now, such as the introduction of needleless injectors. The impact on productivity and farm economics needs to be forefront in any proposed intervention, as pork production involves narrow financial margins.}, number={2}, journal={Journal of Agromedicine}, publisher={Informa UK Limited}, author={Tutor-Marcom, Robin and Bruce, Jacklyn and Greer, Annette}, year={2014}, month={Apr}, pages={246–247} }
