Psychobehavioral Attributes Of Body Image In College Freshmen And Seniors: Implications For Long-Term Health, James E. Leone, Julie A. Patridge, Suanne Maurer-Starks

Movement Arts, Health Promotion and Leisure Studies Faculty Publications

Introduction: Understanding and assessing behavioral risk factors, particularly among college populations, is challenging for health educators. Similarly, issues affecting mental health remain unclear in terms of how body image evolves year to year in college students. A better understanding of how students perceive their bodies and to what extent it affects behavior is needed. Purpose: This study assessed psychobehavioral aspects of body image perception and discrepancy in college students to better identify risk behaviors. Methods: Two surveys (Body Image Questionnaire and Behavior Assessment Questionnaire) were administered to college freshmen and seniors (N = 170).

Results: Students engaged in unhealthy body …

Latex: It's Not Just For Condoms! A Learning Experience To Actively Engage And Educate Students Regarding Testicular Anomalies, James E. Leone, Suanne Maurer-Starks, J. Williamson

Movement Arts, Health Promotion and Leisure Studies Faculty Publications

Testicular cancer is the most prevalent form of cancer among younger males, and, if detected early, it is highly curable.

Objectives: Specific to testicular cancer, after this lesson, students will be able to (1) identify the two main forms, (2) identify genetic and behavioral risk factors, (3) access valid and reliable information, (4) assess personal beliefs/feelings about testicular self-exams (TSEs), and (5) correctly identify pathological and non-pathological testes as demonstrated through palpation of latex models.

Primary Audience: High-school through college-aged students. The instructor may decide to present the lesson in single sex classrooms if student or parent discomfort level exists.

Demonstrating The Principles Of Aperture Synthesis With The Very Small Radio Telescope, Jonathan M. Marr, Karel Durkota, Francis P. Wilkin, Adam Pere, Alan E.E. Rogers, Vincent L. Fish, Gabriel Holodak, Martina B. Arndt

Physics Faculty Publications

We have developed a set of college-level, table-top labs for teaching the basics of radio interferometry and aperture synthesis. These labs are performed with the Very Small Radio Telescope (VSRT), an interferometer using satellite TV electronics as detectors and compact fluorescent light bulbs as microwave signal sources. The hands-on experience provided by the VSRT in these labs allows students to gain a conceptual understanding of radio interferometry and aperture synthesis without the rigorous mathematical background traditionally required.
