Effect Of Arm Spasticity Grade On Blood Pressure Measurement, Chia-Min Lin, Huei-Yu Lo, Wai-Keung Lee, Meng-Tai Chen
Rehabilitation Practice and Science
Objective: The arm spasticity in patients with stroke has been proved to affect blood pressure measurement. However, earlier studies showed inconsistent results of how the spasticity affected the measurement of blood pressure. In some cases, measurement of blood pressure in patients' involved arm is necessary, so the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of spasticity grade on blood pressure measurement in patients with stroke.Methods: We recruited 50 patients with hemiplegia or hemiparesis after stroke. The grade of arm spasticity was assessed using the modified Ashworth scale (MAS), while the bilateral brachial artery pressure was measured using an …
Narrative Financial Therapy: Integrating A Financial Planning Approach With Therapeutic Theory, Megan A. Mccoy, D. Bruce Ross, Joseph W. Goetz
Narrative Financial Therapy: Integrating A Financial Planning Approach With Therapeutic Theory, Megan A. Mccoy, D. Bruce Ross, Joseph W. Goetz
Journal of Financial Therapy
The article serves as one of the first attempts to develop an integrated theoretical approach to financial therapy that can be used by practitioners from multiple disciplines. The presented approach integrates the components of the six-step financial planning process with components of empirically-supported therapeutic methods. This integration provides the foundation for a manualized approach to financial therapy, shaped by the writings of narrative theorists and select cognitive-behavioral interventions that can be used both by mental health and financial professionals.

Social Venture Business Model Archetypes: Five Vehicles For Creating Economic And Social Value, Jennifer I. Woolley, Albert V. Bruno, Eric D. Carlson
Journal of Management for Global Sustainability
Social ventures balance the economic and social dimensions of value creation to alleviate the problems created by shared collective issues. While much is known about economic value creation in conventional firms, little empirical work has focused on social ventures. As the number of social entrepreneurs continues to increase, the challenge of creating both economic and social value has emerged as an important research topic. In this article, we examine 124 social ventures from around the world to gain insight into ways social ventures pursue economic and social value creation. Five social venture business model archetypes emerge from the data. We …

Peg3 Mutational Effects On Reproduction And Placenta-Specific Gene Families, Joomyeong Kim, Wesley D. Frey, Hongzhi He, Hana Kim, Muhammad B. Ekram, Arundhati Bakshi, Mohammad Faisal, Bambarendage P.U. Perera, An Ye, Ryoichi Teruyama
Faculty Publications
Peg3 (paternally expressed gene 3) is an imprinted gene encoding a DNA-binding protein. This gene plays important roles in controlling fetal growth rates and nurturing behaviors. In the current study, a new mutant mouse model has been generated to further characterize the functions of this DNA-binding protein. Besides known phenotypes, this new mutant model also revealed potential roles of Peg3 in mammalian reproduction. Female heterozygotes produce a much smaller number of mature oocytes than the wild-type littermates, resulting in reduced litter sizes. According to genome-wide expression analyses, several placenta-specific gene families are de-repressed in the brain of Peg3 heterozygous embryos, …

Joint Effect Of Multiple Common Snps Predicts Melanoma Susceptibility, Shenying Fang, Jiali Han, Mingfeng Zhang, Li-E Wang, Qingyi Wei, Christopher I. Amos, Jeffrey E. Lee
Dartmouth Scholarship
Single genetic variants discovered so far have been only weakly associated with melanoma. This study aims to use multiple single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) jointly to obtain a larger genetic effect and to improve the predictive value of a conventional phenotypic model. We analyzed 11 SNPs that were associated with melanoma risk in previous studies and were genotyped in MD Anderson Cancer Center (MDACC) and Harvard Medical School investigations. Participants with ≥15 risk alleles were 5-fold more likely to have melanoma compared to those carrying ≤6. Compared to a model using the most significant single variant rs12913832, the increase in predictive …

Kneeling Leg Curl With Internal Rotation Training Improves Agility In Patients With Anterior-Posterior Laxity Of Knee, Chih-Kuan Wu, Shu-Chun Huang, Kuan-Chou Chen, Cheng-Hsiu Lai, Chia-Hua Kuo, Shih-Wei Chou
Rehabilitation Practice and Science
Objective: Whether strengthening exercises emphasizing on internal rotators of the knee are more effective in improving shuttle-run agility of the knees with anterior-posterior laxity (AP laxity). Methods: Twenty men with AP laxity of knee were randomly assigned to the three experimental groups in different strengthening modes: plate-loaded squat press (SP), plate-loaded kneeling leg curl with internal rotation (KLCIR), and kneeling leg curl (KLC). Control group with stable knees received no training. Anterior-posterior laxity, shuttle-run agility, and isokinetic strength were evaluated before and after training. Results: Those with AP laxity of knee have poorer performance in the shuttle run test than …

Perceptions Of Disaster Risk And Vulnerability In Rural Texas, Andrew J. Prelog, Lee M. Miller
Perceptions Of Disaster Risk And Vulnerability In Rural Texas, Andrew J. Prelog, Lee M. Miller
Journal of Rural Social Sciences
Rural areas are uniquely vulnerable to a variety of hazards given their social and economic composition. Economic reliance on agriculture and natural resource extraction increases vulnerability to certain types of natural hazards such as drought, wildfires, and floods. Moreover, rural communities often lack adequate resources to prepare for and respond to disasters. Using data from the Texas Rural Survey, the U.S. Census, and the Spatial Hazards Events and Losses Database for the United States; this research explores questions related to risk perception, vulnerability to disaster, and perceptions of community efficacy in a rural context. Results indicate that rural Texans show …
An Unexpected Legacy: Women, Early Rural Sociological Research, And The Limits Of Linearity, Julie N. Zimmerman
An Unexpected Legacy: Women, Early Rural Sociological Research, And The Limits Of Linearity, Julie N. Zimmerman
Journal of Rural Social Sciences
We often think of history in linear terms: past as prologue, one event following another, one year leading into the next. In a Rostowian-styled model of development, this kind of linear progression prefigures not only conceptualizations about the past, but also assumptions about the present. This paper reexamines the unexpected appearance of women and women’s lives embedded in early rural sociological research to consider how implicit assumptions about the past prefigure what we expect to “see” and influence the way we make sense of it.
Changes In Residents’ Views Of Natural Gas Drilling In The Pennsylvania Marcellus Shale, 2009-2012, Fern K. Willits, A. E. Luloff, Gene L. Theodori
Changes In Residents’ Views Of Natural Gas Drilling In The Pennsylvania Marcellus Shale, 2009-2012, Fern K. Willits, A. E. Luloff, Gene L. Theodori
Journal of Rural Social Sciences
Data from comparable surveys of residents in the Marcellus Shale region of Pennsylvania conducted in 2009 and 2012 are analyzed to ascertain changes in public views over time. The proportions of residents indicating they knew very little or nothing about the economic, social, and environmental impacts of gas drilling declined sharply. Further, residents increasingly formed opinions about the possible costs and benefits of developing the industry and whether they opposed or supported developing the gas industry. The proportions of respondents expressing various concerns about possible negative environmental impacts of drilling increased. However, most residents supported developing the industry and there …

Bringing Clean Energy To The Base Of The Pyramid: The Interplay Of Business Models, Technology, And Local Context, Emily Albi, Andrew E. Lieberman
Journal of Management for Global Sustainability
Social enterprises are providing affordable energy and environmentally sustainable energy to a small but growing percentage of the four billion people living on less than $2,000/year. Santa Clara University’s Global Social Benefit Incubator (GSBITM) has worked with over 60 of these enterprises and profiled them on its Energy Map website. Based on this direct experience and associated research, the authors conclude that it is the interplay among innovative business models, quality technologies tailored to localized energy markets, and appropriate interfacing with local ecosystems that allows social enterprises to go to scale. This conclusion is supported by a review of prominent …

A Profile Of Black Women In The 21st Century Academy: Still Learning From The “Outsider-Within”, Jeffrianne Wilder, Tamara Bertrand Jones, La’Tara Osborne-Lampkin
Journal of Research Initiatives
In 1986, sociologist Patricia Hill Collins published the groundbreaking essay, “Learning from the Outsider Within: The Sociological Significance of Black Feminist Thought.” In that pivotal piece, she describes the unique experiences and perspectives of Black women faculty in academia, specifically within predominately-white institutions (PWI’s). Today, Black women faculty account for only 3 percent of all faculty nationwide (Ryu, 2010), and face a myriad of challenges related to their social location. Racism, sexism, and other interlocking oppressions create troubling obstacles for Black women at all levels in academia (Benjamin, 1998; Collins, 2000; Gregory, 2001; hooks, 1989; King, 1988). Using Collins’ work …
Desai's Hullabaloo In The Guava Orchard As Global Literature, Erin M. Fehskens
Desai's Hullabaloo In The Guava Orchard As Global Literature, Erin M. Fehskens
CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture
In her article "Desai's Hullabaloo in the Guava Orchard as Global Literature" Erin M. Fehskens argues that scholars readily recognize Kiran Desai's Booker Prize winning second novel The Inheritance of Loss as world literature following David Damrosch's and Franco Moretti's notions. However, Desai's first novel Hullabaloo in the Guava Orchard is often overlooked. Although Hullabaloo's focus is narrow and local, its allegorical implications encode the processes of globalization and resistance to it into the novel. Thus, the novel can be read as an example of global literature, which uses the discontinuous nature of allegory to critique the de-differentiating practices …

Multilingual Literature, Translation, And Crnjanski's Роман О Лондону (A Novel About London), Biljana Djorić Francuski
CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture
In her article "Multilingual Literature, Translation, and Crnjanski's Роман о Лондону (A Novel about London)" Biljana Djorić Francuski discusses aspects of the translation of multilingual texts. Although xenisms (words in foreign languages) can often be translated and yet preserved as a part of code mixing, it is difficult to transpose what are known as nonce loans. A further obstacle arises when the author of the multilingual text is such an artist of subtle allusion that the dominant language is pervaded with words and phrases transferred from other languages so that they gain meanings which differ from the expected ones. Djorić …

Translation And Self-Translation In Today's (Im)Migration Literature, Anastasija Gjurčinova
CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture
In her article "Translation and Self-Translation in Today's (Im)migration Literature" Anastasija Gjurčinova discusses contemporary (im)migration literature in Europe as a phenomenon that offers new opportunities for comparative literary research especially as related to the issue of the translation and reception of literary works. Gjurčinova considers (im)migrant authors who write in their native tongue and then translate their works — or have them translated — into the adopted language and others who prefer writing their literary works directly in the latter language. Through references to the work of relevant scholars of comparative and world literature Gjurčinova elaborates on these issues by …
Towards A Symbiotic Coexistence Of Comparative Literature And World Literature, Jüri Talvet
Towards A Symbiotic Coexistence Of Comparative Literature And World Literature, Jüri Talvet
CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture
In his article "Towards a Symbiotic Coexistence of Comparative Literature and World Literature" Jüri Talvet postulates that comparative literature has really never enjoyed a pivotal or central status in the broad field of literary studies, yet at the same time specialized studies of separate literary traditions have not been able to fill numerous gaps in the understanding of literary creation as a broader cultural phenomenon influencing (although often invisibly) the world-view and axiological attitudes of entire societies and vast communities of people. Developing some ideas presented in his book A Call for Cultural Symbiosis (2005) and in his article " …
