This was analyzed using satellite imaging data from OpenET, which was used to see how changes in vegetation density change ET values seen …

Drinking Water And Wastewater In Socioeconomically Disadvantaged Communities In New Mexico: The Utilization Of Geographic Information Systems To Identify Communities Most In Need Of Technical Assistance, Alejandra Gaytan Tellez

Water Resources Professional Project Reports

The goal of this study is to identify the most burdened New Mexico community water systems (CWSs) and publicly owned treatment works (POTWs) with National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits to be able to provide them with technical assistance to address their issues, such as health-based and monitoring and reporting violations. Additionally, technical assistance can help them access federal or state funding to improve the infrastructure within their systems. The study evaluated multiple factors to determine the systems with the highest level of burden and reported the results as value numbers. The CWSs were evaluated on 10 factors that …

Comparing Costs And Predictors Of Low-Value Healthcare Service Use Among Primary Care Nurse Practitioners In The Southwest United States, Sara B. Nugent

Nursing ETDs

Low-value healthcare services (LVHSs) are unsupported by current evidence, associated with harmful patient outcomes, and equate to over $100 billion in wasteful spending annually. The aims of this descriptive, comparative study were to establish baseline prevalence and costs associated with LVHS use among primary care nurse practitioners (NPs), and to test the influence of different geographical regions and patient populations. A secondary data analysis of the Merative™ MarketScan® 2021 databases was conducted. LVHS prevalence was lower or fairly equal to that of other studies, and direct claim costs were very-low cost. Extremely high low-value lumbar radiographic imaging claim costs were …

Integrating Machine Learning, Data Fusion, And Statistical Methods To Predict Electric Load In Smart Grids, Alireza Ghasempour

Electrical and Computer Engineering ETDs

Electric load prediction (ELP) can support smart grid (SG) goals such as reliability and efficiency. In ELP, we predict the electricity demand at aggregated levels which is vital for the proper functioning of SG and keeping a balance between load and supply demand. ELP can be categorized as very short-term, short-term, medium-term, and long-term ELP. In this dissertation, we propose multi-output Gaussian processes (MOGP) for hourly day-ahead short-term ELP. We investigate different feature scaling techniques and prediction accuracy metrics with comprehensive details. Mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) is used as a prediction accuracy metric. We proposed four methods: MOGP, MOGP …

The Quadruple Helix Of Strategic Alliances And Its Application For Community Development In Las Acequias De Atrisco, Jorge Garcia

Regeneración: A Xicanacimiento Studies Journal

In today’s society, the development of Information Communication Technologies (ICT) is imminent yet, large segments of the world remain marginalized. I contend that peer-to-peer and inter-institutional networks can be used to connect local with global systems to close this divide. Using today’s virtual and digital technologies the gap can be bridged using collaboration platforms using different knowledge systems that do not simply replicate the same information. The suggested model represents forming strategic alliances for information sharing and collaboration to empower and support local knowledge systems. The examples discussed show our efforts toward an inclusive approach with communities in full partnership, …

Myth And Monument In Old Town Albuquerque: Southwest Pietà And The War Of Presiding Histories, Eric Castillo

Regeneración: A Xicanacimiento Studies Journal

Luis Jiménez’s Southwest Pietà (1984) intended to combat cultural amnesia that obscured Native Americans’ and Mexicans’ contributions to the state. Jiménez’s Pietà sought to counter the iconography that shaped New Mexico’s colonialist heritage. But Old Town Albuquerque shrouds Native American and Mexican contributions to the region. Albuquerque’s public art has often been deployed as a wedge to write and rewrite narratives about land inhabitants, but the city’s public art tells a powerful story about race and place in New Mexico. This essay explores the socio-historical battle of land memorialization in Old Town Albuquerque and provides a geo-racial perspective about the …

Cuba’S Potential Contribution To The Success Of Chicano Students In The U.S.: Directions To Decolonize The Raza Community, Patrick M. Velásquez

Cuba’s Potential Contribution to the Success of Chicano Students in the U.S.:

Directions to Decolonize the Raza Community

This exploratory paper examines the success of Cuba’s education system and the potential application of their education strategies to increase achievement among Chicano students in the U.S. While Chicanos remain one of our nation’s most underachieving ethnic groups, Cuba’s success in eradicating inequality in educational outcomes stands out among Latin American countries. Both Chicanos and Cubans have experienced a form of colonialism that poses a formidable barrier to educational success. Using a mixed methods approach that includes a review of scholarly literature …

Where Is Chican@ Studies? Infrastructure & Institutionalization In The 21st Century, Reynaldo F. Macias

Regeneración: A Xicanacimiento Studies Journal

This article provides for only a marginal update to the institutional context and complexity of Chican@ Studies in the US, so that we might better understand the need for comprehensive institutional history and its impact on the field as a discipline and as an Alter-Native curriculum framework for schooling. The question answered in this essay is “what is the 21st century institutional presence of Chicana & Chicano Studies in the schools?” focusing primarily on higher education, historicizing, contextualizing, and politicizing it. It describes the number and locations of undergraduate and graduate degree programs, administrative units, and, in part, relationships to …

Organizing And The Revitalization Of American Catholicism, Richard L. Wood

Sociology Faculty and Staff Publications

American Catholicism today struggles to sustain its longtime character as a truly “public religion”—that is, a religious tradition with a vital presence within the public sphere in the US. Reinvigorating Catholicism in the US will require both internal renewal and new approaches to public life, both of which will require continuity with the deep tradition and significant reorientation of ecclesial dynamics. This paper argues that specific, faith-based community-organizing practices can help renew the public voice of Catholicism. In adopting such practices and inflecting them through Catholic commitment to theologically coherent processes of leadership formation, American Catholicism can reinvigorate parish life …

Self-Regulated Learning Perceptions Of Music Education Students, Edmund Strominger

Music ETDs

I explored the self-regulated learning (SRL) perceptions and beliefs of pre-service music teachers in the United States. Through a quantitative survey, I investigated participants' SRL skills, their beliefs about students' SRL, and how these factors varied across gender, year in program, and primary area.

Pre-service music teachers possess high levels of SRL, particularly in motivation. However, their beliefs about SRL varied, with some believing it is crucial for student achievement while others downplayed its importance. Gender differences were observed, with female participants reporting lower learning dependency. Year in program and primary area had limited impact on SRL skills and beliefs. …

Improvement And Evaluation Of Multiple Imputation By Heckman's One-Step Mle For Binary Mnar Outcomes And Various Types Of Mar Covariates, Xin W. Shore

Mathematics & Statistics ETDs

Missing data is inevitable in clinical epidemiology. It becomes one of the major challenges in the analyses and can potentially undermine the validity of results and conclusions. Although methods for handling missing data with mechanisms of missing completely at random (MCAR) or missing at random (MAR) have been widely researched, methods adapted for the missing not at random (MNAR) mechanism are less studied. Galimard et al. (2018) have derived a method to use multiple imputation by Heckman's One-Step ML Estimation for binary MNAR outcome and continuous MAR covariates (MIHEml). This dissertation focuses on updating MIHEml in terms of …
