Ankle Kinetics During Landing Tasks In Participants With Chronic Ankle Instability And Uninjured Controls, Alison Lorinda Bauer
Ankle Kinetics During Landing Tasks In Participants With Chronic Ankle Instability And Uninjured Controls, Alison Lorinda Bauer
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Lateral ankle sprains are a common injury sustained by physically active individuals. Many of these individuals will incur repetitive episodes of lateral ankle sprain, resulting in chronic ankle instability (CAI). CAI has been heavily researched, but few conclusions have been drawn. Much of this research has focused on sagittal plane kinematics and kinetics. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to compare three-dimensional ankle joint kinetics during functional landing tasks in participants with CAI and uninjured controls. Participants performed single-leg vertical drop landings and single-leg cross-over landings. There were no significant differences between the two groups for ankle net joint …

The Determination Of Lung Function Using Impulse Oscillometry And Spirometry, MéCole Vordalander Ingram
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This study was designed to establish normative data for individuals 18-22 years old using oscillometry by comparing the values to spirometry. Oscillometry is a less invasive procedure for respiratory testing than spirometry testing. One hundred and forty-two participants completed self-assessment questionnaires, along with body composition measurements and at least three trials each of oscillometry and spirometry testing. The results of the study conclude that no normative data could be established in this study over all resistance (R) and reactance (X) frequencies for males and females. The secondary goal of this study was to examine the effects of smoking, physical activity, …

College Women And The Occurrence Of Unwanted Sexual Advances In Public Drinking Settings: A Feminist Routine Activities Approach, Abby Mccoll Johnson
College Women And The Occurrence Of Unwanted Sexual Advances In Public Drinking Settings: A Feminist Routine Activities Approach, Abby Mccoll Johnson
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Using existing data from the 1999 Harvard School of Public Health College Alcohol Study, this thesis analyzes the social predictors of unwanted sexual advances experienced by college women and where this type of victimization occurs. Hypotheses were derived from routine activities theory and feminist theory. Findings show that attendance at bars has a more significant effect on experiences of unwanted sexual advances than attendance at parties, attendance at drink promotions, and participation in drinking games. Increased alcohol consumption at bars has a signifcant effect on unwanted sexual advances. The analysis also reveals that alcohol abstention at parties has a significant …
Sexually Dimorphic Developmental Patterns Of Chemosensory Behaviors In African Elephants (Loxodonta Africana), Dhaval Kartik Vyas
Sexually Dimorphic Developmental Patterns Of Chemosensory Behaviors In African Elephants (Loxodonta Africana), Dhaval Kartik Vyas
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Like many polygynous mammals, African elephants exhibit social dimorphism in which females reside in matriarchal groups while males often travel alone or in bachelor groups. Males search for receptive mates who may advertise their condition through chemical and other signals. The difference in adult lifestyles suggests that the developmental pattern of communication for the two sexes should diverge when the social environment and reproductive opportunities of males and females begin to differ. In this study, I examined the differences between the sexes and across four age classes (calves, juveniles, subadults and adults) in the performance of chemosensory behaviors. African elephants …

Playground For The Imagination, B. Darlene Miller
Playground For The Imagination, B. Darlene Miller
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Over the past years, my work has been based on a desire to depict the spiritual and physiological interdependence humans have with the wetland ecosystem. As I examine the shapes of trees and their roots through rubbings, paintings, and sculpture, I sought to express this interaction between humans and nature. My artwork metamorphosed from the traditionally separated forms of painting and sculpture into an environment. The transformation of natural materials into manufactured products led me to cultivate a deeper understanding of ecology, where humans are participants in the natural process of the life cycle. Nature becomes the primary subject and …
Population Genetic Structure Of The Temperate Scleractinian Coral, Oculina Arbuscula, In Coastal Georgia, Lauren Michelle Wagner
Population Genetic Structure Of The Temperate Scleractinian Coral, Oculina Arbuscula, In Coastal Georgia, Lauren Michelle Wagner
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Dispersal of marine organisms has generally been assumed to be demographically open with planktonic larvae exploiting ocean currents to travel long distances. However, recent studies report evidence of local larval recruitment. In this study, I hypothesized that populations of the temperate coral, Oculina arbuscula, are maintained primarily by local recruitment off the Georgia coast because: 1) suitable substrate for settlement is patchy and 2) O. arbuscula's branching morphology is conducive to asexual reproduction by fragmentation. To address this hypothesis, I combined data from allozyme electrophoresis, histocompatibility assays, and despersion of established colonies. Results indicated substantial local recruitment maintained primarily by …
Local Adaptation For Life-History Traits In Silene Latifolia, Brandy May Penna
Local Adaptation For Life-History Traits In Silene Latifolia, Brandy May Penna
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
A fundamental question in evolutionary ecology is how species adjust post colonization. The plant Silene latifolia was introduced to North America (NA) from Europe (EU) in the 1800s. The goal of this thesis was to test if Silene latifolia has become locally adapted across its range. My first experiment tested local adaptation of germination success to three temperatures across three latitudinal regions in a growth chamber using seeds from nine EU and NA populations. Germination success or speed was similar among latitudinal regions across continents. My second experiment examined local adaptation at a continental scale; I grew plants from 15 …
Predicting Starting Status: Factors Contributing To The Success Of Collegiate Football Players, Martin John Spieler
Predicting Starting Status: Factors Contributing To The Success Of Collegiate Football Players, Martin John Spieler
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The recruiting process in collegiate football calls for coaches to identify prospective student-athletes who would be most successful at their institution. Humara (2005) argues that while coaches are experts in the identification of physical attributes needed for success, they may lack the ability to identify psychological skills. Niednagel (2004) would contend that in addition to psychological and physical factors, environmental factors also contribute to the ability to succeed. Participants were 108 male football players (35 linemen, 47 tight ends/linebackers, 18 skilled players, 8 special teams) from 6 teams in a NCAA Division I Southeastern conference. Using multivariate analysis of variance …
Forbidden Fruit: Dryden's The State Of Innocence And Fall Of Man, An Operatic Version Of Paradise Lost, Devane King Middleton
Forbidden Fruit: Dryden's The State Of Innocence And Fall Of Man, An Operatic Version Of Paradise Lost, Devane King Middleton
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Ever since Dryden published his opera The state of innocence, critics have speculated about his reasons for making a stage adaptation of Milton's Paradise lost. The fact that Dryden worked for Milton in Cromwell's government may have been a factor. Dryden's Puritan indoctrination during childhood, followed by influences from a royalist schoolmaster in his teenage years, makes the answer to the question somewhat more complex, as does the fact that the play, its source a Puritan epic adapted by an Anglican royalist poet, is dedicated to the Catholic bride of James, Duke of York and brother to Charles II. Throughout …

Impacts Of Human Disturbance On The Behavior Of Sanderlings On The Georgia Coast, Amy Catherine Gray
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Habitat loss has a serious impact on wildlife. However, even when humans do not destroy habitat, their activity can have negative impacts on behavior. The purpose of my study was (1) to test whether the presence of humans altered the behavior of Sanderlings (Calidris alba), (2) to quantify the impacts of staged human encounters on Sanderlings, and (3) to assess whether Sanderlings on high-disturbance beaches habituate to the presence of humans. The study was conducted on two Georgia barrier islands with varying levels of human disturbances, Tybee Island and Sapelo Island. I found that Sanderlings on a high-disturbance beach had …

Cross-Cultural Narrative Inquiry Into Language, Culture, And Identity Development Of Three High School Female Immigrant Students And Their Mainstream Schooling Experience In Atlanta, Georgia, Joanna Stoughton Cavan
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This inquiry explored the experience of three female immigrant students as they acculturated (learned a new language and culture) and enculturated (maintained the heritage language and culture) while developing new identities in an English-speaking public high school in Atlanta, Georgia, U.S.A. I used a cross-cultural narrative inquiry method (He, 2003) to examine how these students' experiences of exclusion, marginalization, and neglect impact their school success. Cross-cultural narrative theory, which is grounded in the works of Clandinin and Connelly (2000) and Dewey (1938), helped me delve into the everyday life experiences of these female immigrant students. I turned to the works …
Right Reverend Stephen Elliott: Political Influence And The Protestant Episcopal Church In Georgia, 1840-1866, Paulette S. Thompson
Right Reverend Stephen Elliott: Political Influence And The Protestant Episcopal Church In Georgia, 1840-1866, Paulette S. Thompson
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
By the late 1840's, the South's religious and political convictions upheld slaveholders' social and economic views. These convictions permeated worship services in Georgia via the ministries. At the onset of the Civil War, spirituality provided an essential source of Southern strength in both victory and defeat. As fortitude subsided, religion also played a prodigious role in perpetuating the Confederate experience. For a generation, its theology had endorsed the South's social arrangement, asserted the morality of slavery, expunged Southern sins, and recruited the populace as God's devout guardians of the institution. Sustained by the belief that they were God's chosen people, …

Survey Of Reproduction Of The Southeastern American Kestrel (Falco Sparverius Paulus) In Electrical Transmission Towers In South-Central Georgia, Pamela Lynn Maney
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This study involved a survey of the distribution and the reproductive biology of the rare southeastern subspecies of the American kestrel, Falco sparverius paulus, which was found to be breeding in the hollow cross-arms of the 230 kV electrical transmission towers between the Offerman substation in the east, to Plant Mitchell (Putney), in the west, in south-central Georgia. This subspecies of the kestrel has declined in the southeastern United States by more than 80% over the last fifty years, and populations of F.S. Paulus have nearly disappeared below the Fall Line in Georgia. The major factor contributing to this decline …
Age Effects On Social And Investigative Behaviors In A Closed Population Of African Elephants, Christen Eileen Merte
Age Effects On Social And Investigative Behaviors In A Closed Population Of African Elephants, Christen Eileen Merte
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
In this study of African elephants (Loxodonta africana), I examined two competing hypotheses to explain the development of social and reproductive behaviors. The reproductive hypothesis states that behaviors change around the time when an individual begins successfully reproducing, while the social dominance hypothesis states that behaviors change throughout the life of an individual, reflective of changes in social rank. These hypotheses were explored in male and female elephants during the entry to a signal-rich waterhole and in female African elephants across seasons. Chemosensory and social behaviors were recorded in Addo Elephant National Park between May 2004 and June 2005 using …
