View the Alumni Resources page to request Handshake access (https://www.lsu.edu/careercenter/students/alumni.php) . Rsum Uploads Please make note that all rsums must be approved by the LSU Olinde Career Center before becoming active in Handshake for applying for jobs or participating in on-campus interviews. Please be prompt in submitting a rsum for activation in Handshake. The career center makes every effort to be timely in the document approval process, but cannot guarantee a turnaround of less than two (2) business days. Fraudulent and Scam Job Postings We work hard to keep fraudulent postings out of Handshake (https://www.lsu.edu/careercenter/students/handshake.php) by using some common red flags typically considered suspicious. While red flags dont automatically remove a job posting, we research the company and posting if suspicion arises before making a decision. You should research suspicious companies or postings, too (or dont apply). The Fraudulent and Scam Job Postings (https://www.lsu.edu/careercenter/about/FraudulentandScamJobPostingsbook…) guide outlines red flags so you, too, can attempt to identify such scam or fraudulent postings. Our position: Never apply for a suspicious job. Questions? Contact career@lsu.edu (mailto:career@lsu.edu) . Answered by: Gabriella Lindsay
What sort of study spaces are available in the library?
The majority of the tables and desks throughout LSU Library are treated as open seating for anyone to use. These spaces are available on all floors of the library. Certain areas are designated for quiet study; these include sections of the second and third floors and the entirety of the fourth. Regardless of where you are, please be respectful of other patrons studying nearby. There are several bookable group study rooms and individual study booths located on the third and fourth floors. Walk-up use of these spaces is encouraged, but reservations always take priority. Faculty and graduate students may also request a key for their own private study carrel at the checkout desk in room 241. Nearly all study booths on the second floor are currently open for anyone to use. LSU Libraries | Bookable Spaces

Variation in the catch rate and distribution of three important commercial Spanish mackerel (Commerson: Niphonius: Guttatus) related to ENSO events around the waters off Taiwan
Spanish mackerel species are migratory species, also are highly commercially valuable in Taiwan. However, in recent years, climate change and variability have influenced oceanographic conditions, substantially impacting the population dynamics of pelagic species. This study developed weighted habitat suitability index models for three crucial Scomberomorus species—Scomberomorus commerson, Scomberomorus niphonius, and Scomberomorus guttatus—in the waters off Taiwan. Remote sensing data including sea surface temperature, sea surface chlorophyll-a, sea surface salinity, and sea surface height, along with voyage data records that included detailed catch data from Taiwanese drift gillnet fisheries were collected during 2011–2019. The primary fishing grounds for S. commerson are located in the central to southwestern Taiwan Strait, while S. niphonius and S. guttatus are mainly found in the coastal waters off western Taiwan. In autumn, the oceanographic factor preferences are relatively similar among Scomberomorus species, with sea surface temperature being the primary influencing factor. Sea surface height turns to the main influencing factor in winter. Based on the results of the weighted habitat suitability model, we found seasonal differences in habitat preferences and ranges. There is more pronounced overlap in potential habitat in autumn and partial separate condition in potential habitat in winter among Scomberomorus species. Further exploration of the spatiotemporal distribution dynamics of Scomberomorus species under different ENSO periods revealed that during La Niña periods, the potential habitat ranges are broader and extend further south. In contrast, during El Niño periods, and the potential habitat ranges contract northward. Habitat suitable index model may be a useful approach for evaluating possible changes in habitat suitability resulting from climate change or other oceanographic phenomena and in offering suggestions for fishery scientific management.
Improving students’ attendance in Values Education classes during Catch-Up Fridays through collaborative game-based learning
This study aimed to improve the attendance of 36 Grade 8 Santan students in Values Education classes during Catch-Up Fridays through Collaborative Game-Based Learning. Using a mixed-method design, the study evaluated attendance trends before and after the intervention. Quantitative data were collected from School Form 2 (SF2) to measure attendance, and a paired sample t-test revealed a significant increase in mean attendance values, from 3.47 to 4.47, with a p-value of less than 0.05, confirming the intervention's effectiveness. Qualitative data were gathered through a focus group discussion (FGD) and a thematic analysis following Braun and Clarke's (2006) framework was used to examine how students find Collaborative Game-Based Learning as an intervention to improve attendance. Students’ responses from the FGD showed that Collaborative Game-Based fosters student engagement, enhances participation, and creates a fun and dynamic learning environment.
Significant uncertainty in bark beetle trap catches due to varying pheromone release from dispensers and local trap position
Tree-killing bark beetles are important pests severely affecting forests worldwide. An understanding of their spatio-temporal swarming intensity, typically assessed with pheromone traps, is crucial to guide management actions. While multiple factors have been shown to affect trap catches, we lack knowledge of the effects of inherent dispenser-dependent variations in pheromone release and of local trap position. In a laboratory experiment, we assessed the influence of filling level and temperature on the release rate (Rr) of three commonly used pheromone dispenser products for bark beetles (Pheroprax®, Chalcoprax®, Curviwit®). By conducting a complementary field study at two sites in Germany, we quantified the effect of varying Rr of Pheroprax® and trap position on the number of Ips typographus trapped. Rr of all three products correlated with temperature and strongly declined during the application period in Pheroprax® and Chalcoprax®. In the field, both the temporal variability in filling level and the ambient temperature similarly affected Rr, which in combination led to a fivefold change in trap catches. Additionally, catches varied by a similar magnitude due to local trap position, partly explained by the distance from the forest edge. The large uncertainties found in pheromone trap catches, which may also apply to other pest species, highlight the need for careful interpretation (or correction) of trap data. As a potential improvement of monitoring, we propose swarming models to facilitate more accurate predictions of infestation risk by (i) incorporating uncertainties arising from trap-related factors and (ii) providing continuous information on the spatio-temporal abundance of pest species.
