This document provides information about state voting laws and how they affect young voter turnout. It includes a quiz with answers about youth voter trends in the 2008 US election, such as turnout rates being highest among young black voters and in states with election day registration. Research findings are presented showing that get-out-the-vote tactics like peer canvassing are most effective at boosting youth turnout. Factors influencing whether young citizens vote, such as registration deadlines and knowledge of registration procedures, are also examined.
NSHSS members between the ages of 15 and 32 were surveyed about their news consumption, voting plans, and important issues in the upcoming presidential election.

Youth Voting Engagement: Social Marketing PlanKate Taylor
This social marketing plan was assigned in COMM 3301: Social Marketing at Carleton University. The purpose of this assignment was to help students develop a basic awareness of main concepts in social marketing, as well as some of the deep understanding required to critique and produce innovations of their own.
Sina Weibo (the Chinese version of Twitter) is one of the largest social network in the World. But with tools and content exclusively in Chinese, it is difficult for most of us to integrate this important tool into our digital marketing strategy.
This presentation will show you how you can use Weibo and Youku (Chinese YouTube) to engage with a Chinese audience locally and abroad.

El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.
