Evaluating Us Consumers' Perception Of Foods Made With Cricket Powder, Ryan Paul Ardoin Jan 2021

Evaluating Us Consumers' Perception Of Foods Made With Cricket Powder, Ryan Paul Ardoin

LSU Doctoral Dissertations

Expanding the consumption of edible insects has been proposed as a strategy for global food security due to their sustainability of production and high nutritional value. In the U.S.A., the idea of eating insects is generally unappealing. This research took a methodical approach to understanding U.S. consumers perceptions of insects as food- specifically, products made with cricket powder. Recent consumer-oriented entomophagy research (2015-2020) was reviewed to consolidate understanding of Westerners’ perceptions of edible insects and to evaluate research trends. An online survey of 1,005 U.S. consumers investigated appropriate products for insect protein powder incorporation (based on willingness to try; WTT), …

3d Printing In Construction: Current Status, Implementation Hindrances, And Development Agenda, Xin Ning, Tong Liu, Chunlin Wu, Chao Wang Jan 2021

3d Printing In Construction: Current Status, Implementation Hindrances, And Development Agenda, Xin Ning, Tong Liu, Chunlin Wu, Chao Wang

Faculty Publications

3D printing (3DP) is regarded as an innovation that contributes to automation in civil engineering and offers benefits in design, greenness, and efficiency. It is necessary to objectively analyze the current status and challenges associated with 3DP and identify future research directions to properly understand its construction applications. Previous research has focused more on the technical dimension of 3DP; however, the nontechnical dimension of the technology may hinder its implementation and thus must be paid particular attention to. This study presents a systematic review of the existing literature from both technical and nontechnical dimensions by combining quantitative and qualitative studies. …

Civil War Treasures: Candid Complaints From A White Southern Teen In Post-Civil War Boston, Leah Powell Duncan Jan 2021

Civil War Treasures: Candid Complaints From A White Southern Teen In Post-Civil War Boston, Leah Powell Duncan

Civil War Book Review

"The digital copy of a diary kept by seventeen-year-old New Orleanian Minnie C. Hunt from August 1866 to March 1867 has recently been added to the Louisiana Digital Library . . . Hunt expresses her love of sewing, playing games, and spending time outdoors, but she also discusses loneliness, family conflict, financial anxiety, and physical pain. Hunt’s candid revelation of her own hardship makes the diary a particularly rich text for research on upper-class white women’s lives at the close of the Civil War, particularly in terms of their challenges and the resources to which they had access."

Beyond The Boundaries Of Childhood: African American Children In The Antebellum North, Anna Mae Duane Jan 2021

Beyond The Boundaries Of Childhood: African American Children In The Antebellum North, Anna Mae Duane

Civil War Book Review

"Crystal Lynn Webster’s new book, Beyond the Boundaries of Childhood, asks how gradual emancipation in Northern States assigned Black children spaces outside the boundaries of Victorian childhood. Webster also reveals the ways in which Black children were harmed when they were included in reformers’ ideals about childhood, as white reformers felt that Black children’s vulnerability required separation from their families."

Telehealth And Autism Prior To And In The Age Of Covid-19: A Systematic And Critical Review Of The Last Decade, K S. Ellison, J Guidry, P Picou, P Adenuga, K S. Ellison

Faculty Publications

There has been growing interest in the use of telehealth; however, the COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent isolation and restrictions placed on in-person services have fast-tracked implementation needs for these services. Individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have been particularly affected due to the often-intensive service needs required by this population. As a result, the aim of this review was to examine the evidence base, methodology, and outcomes of studies that have used telehealth for assessment and/or intervention with children and adolescents with ASD as well as their families over the last decade. Further, the goal is to highlight the …

Increases In Distress During Stay-At-Home Mandates During The Covid-19 Pandemic: A Longitudinal Study, J D. Buckner, C N. Abarno, E M. Lewis, M J. Zvolensky, J D. Buckner

Faculty Publications

The Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has contributed to over 500,000 deaths, and hospitalization of thousands of individuals worldwide. Cross-sectional data indicate that anxiety and depression levels are greater during the pandemic, yet no known prospective studies have tested this assertion. Further, individuals with elevated trait anxiety prior to a global pandemic may theoretically be more apt to experience greater pandemic-related anxiety and/or impairment. The current study tested whether anxiety and depression increased from the month before the state?s Stay-At-Home order to the period of the Stay-At-Home order among 120 young adults in Louisiana, a state with especially high rates …

The Black Civil War Soldier: A Visual History Of Conflict And Citizenship., Maurice Wallace Jan 2021

The Black Civil War Soldier: A Visual History Of Conflict And Citizenship., Maurice Wallace

Civil War Book Review

Deborah Willis presents “the handsomest picture book,” as well as an “elegantly hybrid” and nuanced portrayal of the Black Civil War soldier’s experience—“he was figured as property as often as he was a person . . . he was a martyr and a deserter, an enlisted man, and rarely an officer.”

In The Service Of God And Humanity: Conscience, Reason, And The Mind Of Martin R. Delany, Philip Yaure Jan 2021

In The Service Of God And Humanity: Conscience, Reason, And The Mind Of Martin R. Delany, Philip Yaure

Civil War Book Review

Adeleke shows that Delaney was alternatively a separatist, integrationist, militarist, and accommodationist before returning to his previous belief in emigration. Despite his changing methods, a puzzling belief in the power of moral suasion animated all of Delaney’s emancipationist efforts. This puzzlement is indicative of “the success of Adeleke’s project.”

Until Justice Be Done: America’S First Civil Rights Movement, From The Revolution To Reconstruction, Ben Davidson Jan 2021

Until Justice Be Done: America’S First Civil Rights Movement, From The Revolution To Reconstruction, Ben Davidson

Civil War Book Review

Masur contends historians have overlooked a decades’-long, Black-led civil rights movement that flourished in the nineteenth century. "Until Justice Be Done is necessary reading for any scholar of U.S. history,” and is a book that should "receive a wide readership beyond academia,” as Masur’s “non-polemical” examination of citizenship rights “may well challenge those of various political stripes to reexamine their idea and strategies for honoring, changing, or using the Constitution.”

Caregiver Treatment Consumption In An Experimental Treatment Marketplace, Delaney J. Darragh Jan 2021

Caregiver Treatment Consumption In An Experimental Treatment Marketplace, Delaney J. Darragh

Faculty Publications

Behavioral economics is an approach to understanding consumer behavior by integrating behavioral science with economic principles. Behavioral economics incorporates traditional economic principles with operant learning approaches. There is limited research examining how individuals consume psychological and behavioral treatments. This is especially the case for treatments designed for children. The current study used data from a previously collected sample to explore gender differences in an experimental treatment marketplace (ETM). Experimental treatment marketplaces are generally used to evaluate choices between goods and services (e.g., types of behavior interventions). An ETM was developed to evaluate treatment consumption when levels of evidence differed between …

Background: Few studies have examined both parent and child preferences regarding family-based weight management programs (WMPs) delivered in primary care settings, especially among racial minority populations. The purpose of this study was to determine the perceptions that parents and their children/adolescents have about the components that should be included in a family-based WMP and to identify perceived preferences, benefits, and/or barriers to participation. Methods: A sample of 60 participants (30 parents and 30 children/adolescents) participated in 1 of 5 separate structured focus groups, using probing questions and the nominal group technique (NGT). Parents reported demographics for themselves and their children/adolescents. …

The VESPACE project aims to revive an evening of theatre at the Foire Saint-Germain in Paris in the 18th century, by recreating spaces, atmospheres and theatrical entertainment in virtual reality. The venues of this fair have disappeared without leaving any archaeological traces, so their digital reconstruction requires fusing many different sources, including the expertise of historians, as well as of historians of theatre and literature. In this article, we present how we have used video game creation tools to enable the use of virtual reality in three key research stages in the human sciences, and particularly, in history or archaeology: …

A Short Text Classification Method Based On Convolutional Neural Network And Semantic Extension, Haitao Wang, Keke Tian, Zhengjiang Wu, Lei Wang

Faculty Publications

In order to solve the problem that traditional short text classification methods do not perform well on short text due to the data sparsity and insufficient semantic features, we propose a short text classification method based on convolutional neural network and semantic extension. Firstly, we propose an improved similarity to improve the coverage of the word vector table in the short text preprocessing process. Secondly, we propose a method for semantic expansion of short texts, which adding an attention mechanism to the neural network model to find related words in the short text, and semantic expansion is performed at the …
