Midlife Urinary Incontinence And The Intimate Dyad, Lori Sue Saiki Sep 2015

Midlife Urinary Incontinence And The Intimate Dyad, Lori Sue Saiki

Nursing ETDs

Urinary incontinence is a major health concern for midlife women, with demonstrated effects on self-concept, life-style, and sexual function. The purpose of this study was to explore the effect of midlife female urinary incontinence on the intimate dyad from a chronic illness perspective. The Corbin and Strauss Collaborative Chronic Illness Trajectory Model identifies biographical and relationship work engaged in when coping with a chronic health condition in the context of an intimate relationship. The specific aims of this study were to explore potential associations among urinary incontinence symptom severity, relationship satisfaction, biographical work factors (self-esteem, body image, depression, anxiety), and …


Family Policy In Post-Communist Europe And The Former Soviet Union: Assessing The Impact Of Xenophobia, Marina A. Kingsbury Sep 2015

Family Policy In Post-Communist Europe And The Former Soviet Union: Assessing The Impact Of Xenophobia, Marina A. Kingsbury

Political Science ETDs

This dissertation emphasizes the comparative aspect of family policy, with a regional focus on post-communist Europe. Following the turmoil of transition, many social welfare programs were transformed and often scaled back. Family policies, however, were largely carried through the initial period of transformation, despite the economic difficulties and the dramatic decline in birth rates in a course of several years. This study was inspired by the seeming contradiction between falling birth rates and increasing generosity of family policy provisions across the former communist European countries. This dissertation uses original data, which includes levels of benefit provision as well as national …


A Multiple Case Examination Of Sexuality In Counselor Education: Pedagogy, Ideology, And Discourse, Megan Speciale Sep 2015

A Multiple Case Examination Of Sexuality In Counselor Education: Pedagogy, Ideology, And Discourse, Megan Speciale

Individual, Family, and Community Education ETDs

In this study, I explored the role and function of counselor educators' ideology in their sexuality counseling pedagogy, as demonstrated by teaching philosophy, curriculum, and teaching strategies. In line with my theoretical framework, queer feminist pedagogy, I employed qualitative multicase methodology with six counselor educators, bounded by the shared phenomena of teaching sexuality-focused counseling curricula. I performed critical discourse analysis on the dialogic and textual discourse generated from interviews and curricular document mining to identify ideologies embedded in educators' discourse. The analysis revealed the considerable influence of personal ideology on educators' sexuality counseling pedagogy, which constituted the following themes: (a) …


Spanish-Speaking Students Perceptions Of Efl As Demonstrated In Writing For An Undergraduate English Phonetics And Phonology Course In Bogotá Colombia, Claudia Helena Lombana Giraldo Sep 2015

Spanish-Speaking Students Perceptions Of Efl As Demonstrated In Writing For An Undergraduate English Phonetics And Phonology Course In Bogotá Colombia, Claudia Helena Lombana Giraldo

Language, Literacy, and Sociocultural Studies ETDs

Students' perceptions of English as a foreign language (EFL) were studied in 20 final papers written by 44 students for the undergraduate course of English Phonetics and Phonology taught at a university in Bogota, Colombia in four cohorts. Using qualitative content analysis (QCA), this study analyzes students' meanings and interpretations of the foreign language in their written ideas that emerged in the process of written and phonetic transcriptions of a verbatim sample chosen from the Internet. These meanings were represented in the students' words, ideas, and symbols to construe the new language and to make sense out of it. The …


Uncommon Knowledge: A History Of Queer New Mexico, 1920s-1980s, Jordan Biro Sep 2015

Uncommon Knowledge: A History Of Queer New Mexico, 1920s-1980s, Jordan Biro

History ETDs

New Mexico, the heart of the American Southwest, has been home to countless gay men and lesbians throughout the twentieth century. This dissertation explores the states LGBTQ past and investigates the connections and exchanges between urban and rural gay and lesbian identities, cultures, and political organizations in the 1920s through the 1980s. Using New Mexico as case study, I provide an alternative narrative to previous scholarship that focuses either exclusively on gay urban or gay rural lives and instead present an example of a migratory queer network where lesbians and gay men crisscrossed cities and country spaces. Gay and lesbian …


Experimental Studies Of The Chemical Effects Of Zinc-Bearing Materials Following A Loss-Of-Coolant Accident In A Pressurized Water Reactor, David Allan Pease Sep 2015

Experimental Studies Of The Chemical Effects Of Zinc-Bearing Materials Following A Loss-Of-Coolant Accident In A Pressurized Water Reactor, David Allan Pease

Nuclear Engineering ETDs

Generic Safety Issue-191 (GSI-191) was developed by the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (U.S. NRC) to assess the effect of debris loading on pressurized water reactor (PWR) emergency core cooling systems (ECCS) sump strainers during a Loss-of-Coolant Accident (LOCA). Potential contributors to the debris loading include latent dirt, fiberglass insulation, paints, epoxies, and chemical products which form when containment surfaces interact with the released reactor coolant. Chemical effects experiments have been completed to assess the potential debris loading contributions of zinc-bearing materials found in the containment building. Zinc-bearing materials in containment include galvanized steel and inorganic zinc-coated steel (IOZ). This …


Spatial Decay Of Rotating Waves And Restrictions On Finite Disks., Sahitya Konda Sep 2015

Spatial Decay Of Rotating Waves And Restrictions On Finite Disks., Sahitya Konda

Mathematics & Statistics ETDs

In this thesis, we consider the system of reaction-diffusion equations and the behavior of the solution of such a system. The focus is to concentrate on solutions which decay at infinity. Under suitable assumptions, we prove the solution and its derivatives decay exponentially in all space. We also attempt to show that the solution decays exponentially for the system of equations when posed on a finite disk. This result has been confirmed via numerical methods before, but has never been attempted through an analytic approach, like in this paper. We prove the exponential decay of the solution in a one …

Analysis Of Protease Activity Using Membrane- Coated Biomimetic Microspheres, Jennifer M. Fetzer Jul 2015

Analysis Of Protease Activity Using Membrane- Coated Biomimetic Microspheres, Jennifer M. Fetzer

Biomedical Engineering ETDs

Poisoning by Botulinum Neurotoxins (BoNTs) leads to the severe neuroparalytic illness known as botulism, which is characterized by flaccid paralysis, respiratory failure, and death. BoNTs are the most acutely toxic substances on the planet, so detection at physiologically relevant concentrations is difficult. Because current treatments for botulism cannot reverse existing paralysis, rapid detection is key, and current diagnostic techniques are not meeting this need. We have developed a flow-based assay platform that allows for detection of the Light Chain of BoNT/A as well as a means to study the action of the toxin on its protein substrate in a system …
