Alterite, Performance, Hybridite: Une Esthetique De La Troisieme Vague Feministe, Michèle A. Schaal
Alterite, Performance, Hybridite: Une Esthetique De La Troisieme Vague Feministe, Michèle A. Schaal
Michèle A. Schaal
France has recently experienced a renewed interest in feminist and gender-related issues. Both in academia and society at large, a younger generation of theorists, authors and activists, influenced by American third-wave feminism and gender studies, has reasserted the necessity to fight for equal rights. My research reveals that as early as the mid-nineties, French writers Marie Darrieussecq, Virginie Despentes and Nina Bouraoui anticipated these feminist discourses in their early novels. In particular, they mirrored the concepts of alterity, gender performance, and hybridity currently at stake in this third wave of French feminism. My dissertation investigates the literary manifestations of these …
Bean And Rice Meals Reduce Postprandial Glycemic Response In Adults With Type 2 Diabetes: A Cross-Over Study, Sharon V. Thompson, Donna M. Winham, Andrea M. Hutchins
Bean And Rice Meals Reduce Postprandial Glycemic Response In Adults With Type 2 Diabetes: A Cross-Over Study, Sharon V. Thompson, Donna M. Winham, Andrea M. Hutchins
Donna Winham
Background: Around the world, beans and rice are commonly consumed together as a meal. With type 2 diabetes increasing, the effect of this traditional diet pattern on glycemic response has not been studied fully. Methods: We evaluated the glycemic response of bean and rice traditional meals compared to rice alone in adults with type 2 diabetes. Seventeen men and women with type 2 diabetes controlled by metformin (n = 14) or diet/exercise (n=3) aged 35–70 years participated in the randomized 4 × 4 crossover trial. The white long grain rice control, pinto beans/rice, black beans/rice, red kidney beans/rice test meals, …
The Effects Of Symmetric And Asymmetric Foot Placements On Sit-To-Stand Joint Moments, Jason C. Gillette, C. A. Stevermer
The Effects Of Symmetric And Asymmetric Foot Placements On Sit-To-Stand Joint Moments, Jason C. Gillette, C. A. Stevermer
Jason C Gillette
The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of symmetric and asymmetric foot placements on joint moments during sit-to-stand movements. Three symmetric (foot-neutral, foot-back, and foot-intermediate) and three asymmetric foot placements (preferred stagger, nonpreferred stagger, and intermediate stagger) were tested. Standard (46 cm) and low (41 cm) seat heights were chosen to represent an average public seat height and a 10% lower seat height. Using inverse dynamics, maximum ankle plantarflexion, knee extension, hip extension, and hip abduction moments were calculated. Hip extension moments were significantly increased when using foot-neutral as compared to foot-back. Ankle plantarflexion and knee extension …
Gait Analysis Post Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: Knee Osteoarthritis Perspective, M. Hall, C A. Stevermer, Jason C. Gillette
Gait Analysis Post Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: Knee Osteoarthritis Perspective, M. Hall, C A. Stevermer, Jason C. Gillette
Jason C Gillette
Individuals with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction are at increased risk to develop knee osteoarthritis (OA). Gait analysis describing kinetics of the lower extremity during walking and stair use (stair ascent and stair descent) can provide insight to everyday dynamic knee joint loading. In this study, we compared lower extremity gait patterns of those with ACL reconstruction (>1 year) to a control group. Fifteen ACL reconstructed individuals and 17 healthy controls participated in this study. Knee extensor and flexor strength were assessed. Using inverse dynamics, lower extremity moments were calculated during the stance phase of walking and during two …
Quantitative Normative Gait Data In A Large Cohort Of Ambulatory Persons With Parkinson’S Disease, Chris J. Hass, Paul Malczak, Joe Nocera, Elizabeth L. Stegemoller, Aparna Wagle Shukala, Irene Malaty, Charles E. Jacobson Iv, Michael S. Okun, Nick Mcfarland

Background: Gait performance is widely evaluated to assess health status in older adult populations. While several investigators have presented normative values for spatiotemporal gait parameters drawn from older adult populations, the literature has been void of large-scale cohort studies, which are needed in order to provide quantitative, normative gait data in persons with Parkinson’s disease. The aim of this investigation was to provide reference values for clinically important gait characteristics in a large sample of ambulatory persons with Parkinson’s disease to aid both clinicians and researchers in their evaluations and treatments of gait impairment. Methodology/Principal Findings: Gait performance was collected …
Utilising Generation Y: United States Hospitality And Tourism Students' Perceptions Of Careers In The Industry, Scott Richardson, Nicholas J. Thomas
Utilising Generation Y: United States Hospitality And Tourism Students' Perceptions Of Careers In The Industry, Scott Richardson, Nicholas J. Thomas
Nicholas J. Thomas
This purpose of this study is to ascertain U.S. hospitality and tourism management student's perceptions of jobs in the industry. To undertake this, students were asked to identify which factors were important when choosing a career and whether the hospitality and tourism offers these. Additionally, students were asked their perceptions towards a number of dimensions relating to careers in the hospitality and tourism industry. Overall, it is clear that respondents are generally happy with the careers being offered in hospitality and tourism and are committed to pursuing careers in the industry.
Minimization And Maximization Techniques: Assessing The Perceived Consequences Of Confessing And Confession Diagnosticity, Allyson J. Horgan, Melissa B. Russano, Christian A. Meissner, Jacqueline R. Evans

Christian A. Meissner, Ph.D.
Identifying interrogation strategies that minimize the likelihood of obtaining false information, without compromising the ability to elicit true information, is a challenge faced by both law enforcement and scientists. Previous research suggests that minimization and maximization techniques may be perceived by a suspect as an expectation of leniency and a threat of harsher punishment, respectively, and that these approaches may be associated with false confessions. The current studies examine whether it is possible to distinguish between minimization and maximization techniques that do or do not influence a suspect’s perceptions of the consequences of confessing. Results indicate that techniques that manipulate …
