What's Right With You? Using Strength-Based Approaches To Empower Patients, Communities, And Learners, Luke Sanchez, Derek Lin, Anthony Fleg

HSC Education Days

A deficits model is the cornerstone for the health professions education, practice and scholarship. With a focus on diseases, deficits, addictions, social risk factors, this approach has a risk of disempowering patients, communities, and learners. A strength-based approach instead focuses on what people and communities do well – resources, skills, strengths, resilience, etc. – with intention of building upon these to improve health. Strength-based approaches are critical for decolonization and for undoing racism. This session, led by HSC students, presents a mixture of data and personal experience to elucidate the importance of strength-based approaches to health, with guidance on how …

Role Of Mentorship In Recruiting Community College Students Into Health Professions Programs, Annslee Lowe, Amy Clithero-Eridon, Cameron Crandall, Marlene P. Ballejos

HSC Education Days

BACKGROUND:

The social mission of health professional schools is generally to ensure a diverse cadre of providers is trained to care for populations, with particular attention paid to the delivery of primary care in underserved areas. Students who attend community college (CC) before matriculating to a health professional program typically bring diversity and concordance with local population demographics. However, CC students face more challenges than traditional students in obtaining proper resources and support to prepare for graduate programs, including mentorship. This study aimed to identify challenges faced by CC students, such as financial status, cultural backgrounds, and fear of medical …

The Effectiveness Of Various Online Continuing Education Formats For Improving Knowledge Of Clinical Documentation, Sara L. Nottingham

HSC Education Days

Context: Clinical documentation is a professional responsibility of healthcare providers, including athletic trainers (ATs). Previous research has identified that ATs desire continuing education (CE) opportunities specific to documentation. We investigated the effectiveness of different online CE formats to improve ATs’ knowledge of clinical documentation.

Methods: We used a sequential explanatory mixed-methods randomized controlled trial design. After recruiting 18,981 practicing ATs, interested participants were randomly enrolled into a group: online personalized learning platform that included videos, presentations, case studies, documents, and knowledge checks (PLP, n=39), passive online reading list (PAS, n=44), or control without resources (CON, n=77)]. Baseline and follow-up knowledge …

Comparison Of Vipassana Meditation With Other Mindfulness Traditions In The Response To Experimentally Induced Pain, Timothy Ian Vandiver

Psychology ETDs

This study compared various mindfulness meditators with a meditation-naïve control group on various measures of pain tolerance and response. My primary hypothesis was that meditators would show greater pain tolerance than non-meditators and that they would also show greater parasympathetic nervous system activation in response to experimentally induced pain. The results were mixed, with meditators showing no greater increase in pain tolerance post-baseline. Differences in nervous system function between the two groups were also difficult to interpret.

Another component of the study was to explore the phenomenological reports and to compare and contrast those of the meditators and non-meditators using …

The Juan De La Cruz Molino: Folk Architecture At El Güique-Estaca New Mexico, José A. Rivera Ph.D

Faculty Publications

El Güique and Estaca are twin communities just north of the confluence of the Río Grande and the Río Chama. Like other Spanish colonial settlements in the historic Río Arriba, acequia-based agriculture was essential for food production in this high desert region of the northern Río Grande. Along with the construction of acequias, molinos (grist mills) were built to grind wheat into flour as part of the subsistence farming economy of the times. While acequias were communal, molinos most often were constructed and operated as private enterprises by local millers like the case of Juan de la Cruz Borrego and …

The Phenomenology Of Abstract Awe: A Qualitative Study Of Lived Experiences In Psychedelic Virtual Reality, Jacob Spinks

Psychology ETDs

This thesis investigates individuals' experiences with SoundSelf, a virtual reality (VR) program inspired by psychedelic experience, focusing on its capacity to evoke awe and other self-transcendent experiences. Conducted with fifteen participants, the study involved a single VR session followed by in-depth phenomenological interviews. Through a thematic analysis, three primary themes were constructed: (a) emotions and feelings, the good and the bad; (b) non-reflective engagements, directly living experience; and (c) reflective engagements, exploring curiosity and wonder. The findings indicate that while SoundSelf can elicit a wide array of emotions and self-transcendent experiences, it does not consistently induce awe. This research contributes …

‘We Were Like A Bomb’: Child Refugees, Cuban Politics, And Argentine Revolutionary Organizations, Isabella Cosse

The chapter examines the experience of children and families of Left-wing Argentine insurgents, and their Cuban exile in the 1970s, in order to deepen our understanding of revolutionary internationalism, love, and politics in Cold War Latin America. Attendees can access the chapter at https://bit.ly/3S0mr86.

This event is co-sponsored by the Department of History, the Department of Political Science, the International Studies Institute, and the Latin American & Iberian Institute.

Radicalism Left And Right In Cold War Latin America, Isabella Cosse, Luis Herrán Ávila

LAII Events

Offered in coordination with the Albuquerque Museum's “Dictatorship and the Disappeared” exhibit, Dr's. Cosse and Herrán Ávila will discuss the emergence, operation, ideology, and social relations of left- and right-wing radical political groups in Cold War Latin America. In a conversation moderated by UNM Professor of History Liz Hutchison, these historians will go beyond the usual approaches to Latin American radicalism to examine how forces of religion, sexuality, family formation, and ideology shaped these radical groups’ formation and impact.

This event is co-sponsored by the Department of History, the Department of Political Science, the International Studies Institute, and the Latin …

Credible Commitments, Adaptability, And Conservation Easements, Andrew P. Morriss

Natural Resources Journal

Conservation easements, a widely used tool to preserve land for conservation purposes, suffer from a fundamental flaw in lacking a means of adapting the permanent interests they create to changed conditions. This flaw is becoming more apparent as the early generation of these interests age and climate change threatens to bring more rapid demands for adaptation of existing conservation goals in light of changed conditions. Drawing on lessons from successes in international financial centers and U.S. states that are successful in jurisdictional competition, this article argues that the law should embrace measures that enable such competition in providing for shared …

A New Moment For Indian Water Rights Settlements, Max Clayton

Natural Resources Journal

Indian water rights settlements have been the primary mechanism to resolve water conflicts between tribal governments and state, municipal, and non-governmental parties. Although scholars have for decades roundly criticized settlements for their many shortcomings, this paper suggests that a combination of forces has altered the conditions for Indian water rights settlements. Settlement remains a difficult process, but a new moment for Indian water rights settlement may have arrived. This paper explains how political conditions have changed and makes a novel legal argument to supply a strategy for tribal governments to advance their bargaining position in settlement discussions.

Missing Middle Housing: Accelerating America’S Transition From Single-Family Zoning, Lena Zeebuyth, Mallory Moore

Natural Resources Journal

As housing unaffordability and climate change impose increasingly greater costs on American cities and towns, there is a growing sense that single-family residential zoning ordinances are partly to blame for these challenges. Many Americans remain unwilling to address these difficulties by welcoming large apartment buildings into their neighborhoods. Fortunately, policies designed to promote “middle housing” development––visually attractive duplexes and townhome projects––tend to be more politically feasible than policies that drive apartment development. Further, such policies do much to improve the affordability and environmental sustainability of residential neighborhoods. This Article describes how promoting greater middle housing development in the United States …

Thinking About The Public Trust Doctrine In A Modern Context As Applied To Non-Fungible Tokens, Dustyn Sams

Natural Resources Journal

This paper discusses two popular concepts in the legal world, the public trust doctrine and non-fungible tokens (NFTs). For the first time, it explores whether litigants could successfully use the doctrine to protect valuable NFTs. The public trust doctrine is the legal principle that the government holds and manages land under navigable water and closely associated natural resources in trust of the people. NFTs, on the other hand, are unique collections of cryptographical data that represent ownership of a digital artwork. This paper reconsiders the question of what exactly the scope of the public trust doctrine is and how its …

Distinct Interactions Stabilize Egfr Dimers And Higher-Order Oligomers In Cell Membranes, Krishna C. Mudumbi, Eric A. Burns, David J. Schodt, Zaritza O. Petrova, Anatoly Kiyatkin, Lucy W. Kim, Emma M. Mangiacapre, Irais Ortiz-Caraveo, Hector Rivera Ortiz, Chun Hu, Kumar D. Ashtekar, Keith A. Lidke, Diane S. Lidke, Mark A. Lemmon

Pathology Research and Scholarship

The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is a receptor tyrosine kinase with important roles in many cellular processes as well as in cancer and other diseases. EGF binding promotes EGFR dimerization and autophosphorylation through interactions that are well understood structurally. How these dimers relate to higher-order EGFR oligomers seen in cell membranes, however, remains unclear. Here, we used single-particle tracking (SPT) and Förster resonance energy transfer imaging to examine how each domain of EGFR contributes to receptor oligomerization and the rate of receptor diffusion in the cell membrane. Although the extracellular region of EGFR is sufficient to drive receptor dimerization, …

Measuring Policy, Systems, And Environmental Changes At Elementary Schools Involved In Snap-Ed New Mexico Programming, 2018-2022, Camille Velarde, Erica Landrau-Cribbs, Mahtab Soleimani, Theresa H Cruz

Pediatrics Research and Scholarship

INTRODUCTION: In 2018, the New Mexico Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program-Education (SNAP-Ed NM) incorporated policy, systems, and environmental (PSE) strategies into the state plan to increase healthy eating and physical activity. Studies of multiple PSE strategies in elementary schools are lacking.

METHODS: We conducted assessments of physical activity and nutrition environments at 11 elementary schools in New Mexico before and after schools were given school-specific PSE recommendations and technical assistance. Baseline data were collected in 2018 by using the School Physical Activity and Nutrition Environment Tool (SPAN-ET), which measures policy, situational, and physical environments in elementary schools. PSE scores were calculated …

Measuring Culturally And Contextually Specific Distress Among Afghan, Iraqi, And Great Lakes African Refugees, Ryeora Choe, David T Lardier, Julia Meredith Hess, Meredith A Blackwell, Suha Amer, Martin Ndayisenga, Sara Deewa, Brian Isakson, Jessica R Goodkind

Pediatrics Research and Scholarship

Culturally and contextually valid measurement of psychological distress is critical, given the increasing numbers of forcibly displaced people and transnational migration. This study replicates an inductive process that elicited culturally specific expressions, understandings, and idioms of distress among Afghans to develop culturally specific measures of distress for Great Lakes Africans and Iraqis and expands this methodology to include a focus on the contexts of refugees resettled in the United States. To create the measures, we adapted Miller et al.'s (2006) model for the
