Measuring Light Scattering And Absorption In Corals With Inverse Spectroscopic Optical Coherence Tomography (Isoct): A New Tool For Non-Invasive Monitoring, G. L. C. Spicer, A. Eid, D. Wangpraseurt, Timothy D. Swain, J. A. Winkelmann, J. Yi, M. Kuhl, L. A. Marcelino, V. Backman

Marine & Environmental Sciences Faculty Articles

The success of reef-building corals for >200 million years has been dependent on the mutualistic interaction between the coral host and its photosynthetic endosymbiont dinoflagellates (family Symbiodiniaceae) that supply the coral host with nutrients and energy for growth and calcification. While multiple light scattering in coral tissue and skeleton significantly enhance the light microenvironment for Symbiodiniaceae, the mechanisms of light propagation in tissue and skeleton remain largely unknown due to a lack of technologies to measure the intrinsic optical properties of both compartments in live corals. Here we introduce ISOCT (inverse spectroscopic optical coherence tomography), a non-invasive approach to measure …

Doing Participatory Action Research As A Doctoral Student In The Peace And Conflict Studies Field, Phill Gittins Oct 2019

Doing Participatory Action Research As A Doctoral Student In The Peace And Conflict Studies Field, Phill Gittins

Peace and Conflict Studies

There is still little written about doing participatory action research (PAR) as a doctoral student. This paper provides a missing first-person account of doing a PAR Ph.D. in the Peace and Conflict Studies (PACS) field. Based on the author’s own experience of using PAR as part of his PACS doctoral degree this paper reflects on why he decided to use PAR in his doctorate project and how he went about doing it. It further highlights some of the benefits (academic and non-academic) of doing a PAR Ph.D., as well as challenges faced and responses to them. Four key lessons learned …

An Interprofessional Collaborative Approach To The Development Of A Content Valid Interview Questionnaire For Persons With Hearing Loss And Their Communication Partners, Nancy A. Delich, Stephen D. Roberts Oct 2019

An Interprofessional Collaborative Approach To The Development Of A Content Valid Interview Questionnaire For Persons With Hearing Loss And Their Communication Partners, Nancy A. Delich, Stephen D. Roberts

JADARA

An assessment instrument needs to be valid in order for data to be accurately interpreted and applied. Currently, few rigorous content evaluations have been conducted on hearing-related questionnaires. This study describes a multiphase approach for obtaining content validity evidence in the development of a questionnaire that explores quality of life for persons with hearing loss and their communication partners. A panel of 15 interprofessional experts evaluated 41 questionnaire items for content relevance and content clarity. Findings revealed an overall scale of .99 for content relevance and .85 for content clarity, indicating high content validity for the revised 40-item questionnaire.


Deaf Adult Consumers Of Public Behavioral Health Services In Maryland: January 1, 2016 – January 1, 2018, Teresa Crowe Ph.D Oct 2019

Deaf Adult Consumers Of Public Behavioral Health Services In Maryland: January 1, 2016 – January 1, 2018, Teresa Crowe Ph.D

JADARA

This exploratory study describes the demographic profiles of 7,474 deaf adults who are consumers of public behavioral health services in the state of Maryland. Up until recent years, data about deaf consumers were unavailable to researchers. Over the past two years, additional items were added to the Outcome Measurement Systems interview, such as “primary language” and boxes where providers could record “deaf.” The data presented in this paper are for deaf adults who received services from January 1, 2016 to January 1, 2018. The results of this study indicate that: 1) most deaf consumers lived in private residences, 2) consumers …

Triple Aims Healthcare Policy Voices Of Graduate Student Interprofessional Team Members, Gary J. Skolits, Rachel N. Ladd, Paul Kirkland, Lora Beebe, Marian Roman

The Qualitative Report

The purpose of this study is to share the voices of healthcare graduate students participating in an interprofessional course experience, particularly as their voice relate to fundamental healthcare issues care embodied in the Triple Aims. Two research questions guided study efforts: (1) how do graduate students perceive the value of interprofessional learning experiences for their professional development as future healthcare providers? and (2) based on these experiences, how do students perceive the potential for interprofessional teams to address the Triple Aims of health care? This study was based on the qualitative approach of inductive thematic coding (Braun & Clarke, 2006). …


Hearing Loss Within A Jail Population, Corinne K. Jensema Sep 2019

Hearing Loss Within A Jail Population, Corinne K. Jensema

JADARA

A research study conducted at the Prince Georges County (MD) Jail during July and August, 1988 looked at incidence of hearing loss and other factors that may be related to hearing loss. Of those who participated in the study, almost 35% failed the hearing screening. A questionnaire administered to the subjects revealed that those who failed the hearing screening tended to be older, have experienced more general medical problems and problems related to their hearing, to have had more exposure to loud noises, and to have more communication difficulties. Recommendations for future research and intervention with the incarcerated population are …


Deaf Community Leaders As Liaisons Between Mental Health And Deaf Cultures, Tenna M. Wax Sep 2019

Deaf Community Leaders As Liaisons Between Mental Health And Deaf Cultures, Tenna M. Wax

JADARA

Providing mental health services to deaf people is usually a formidable task. Given the movement to more "ecological" perspective on mental health issues in deaf people, it seems that two important features of successful mental health service delivery to deaf people would include in-depth understanding of experiential and cultural differences among people in the deaf community and development of a sturdy "bridge" between the mental health service provider community and the deaf community. This paper will describe the evolution of attempts in Washington State, from 1984 to 1987, to provide more adequate mental health services for deaf people. On the …

Impact Of Communication On Depressive Vulnerability In Deaf Individuals, Irene W. Leigh, Clive J. Robins, Joan Welkowitz

JADARA

Mode of communication and perceived communication with mother deserve attention within the mother-deaf child relationship. This study explored the impact of both factors on each other and on the vulnerability of young deaf college students for depressive symptoms using measures revised to meet the language needs of this population. Depression was negatively associated with perceived communication with mother. Mode of communication significantly related to perceived communication with mother, with oral subjects scoring highest. They were also least depressed. Further analysis revealed that subjects communicating with their mothers through signs only and vice versa scored as high for perceived maternal communication …

On Establishing A Culturally Affirmative Psychiatric Inpatient Program For Deaf People, Neil S. Glickman, Sherry M. Zitter Sep 2019

On Establishing A Culturally Affirmative Psychiatric Inpatient Program For Deaf People, Neil S. Glickman, Sherry M. Zitter

JADARA

The authors describe their effort to create a Deaf culturally affirmative psychiatric inpatient unit at a state psychiatric hospital in Massachusetts. A culturally affirmative program is defined as one based on Deaf cultural values. Four values are discussed in the context of how they could be translated into programmatic realities. These values are (1) that the least restrictive environment for serving deaf people is a Deaf environment; (2) that communication needs to be appropriate as well as affirming of the Deaf community; (3) that staff have to be recruited, hired and developed with the necessary cultural and clinical skills; and …
