Juvenile Risk Assessment: Assessing The Evaluability And Predictive Validity Of The Youth Assessment And Screening Instrument For Use Among The North Dakota Juvenile Probation Population, Adam K. Matz, Adrian R. Martinez Jun 2019

Juvenile Risk Assessment: Assessing The Evaluability And Predictive Validity Of The Youth Assessment And Screening Instrument For Use Among The North Dakota Juvenile Probation Population, Adam K. Matz, Adrian R. Martinez

Criminal Justice Faculty Publications

Risk assessment using an actuarial instrument represents one of eight core evidence-based practices (EBP) in community supervision recognized by the National Institute of Corrections (NIC). Despite the widespread adoption of a variety of instruments, many jurisdictions have not assessed their predictive validity. This research examines the evaluability of a risk assessment instrument, the Youth Assessment & Screening Instrument (YASI), adopted by the North Dakota Juvenile Court. The instrument has been in use since 2002. While studies of the YASI from New York State, Illinois, and Canada provide some confidence in the instrument's predictive accuracy, questions still remain concerning its applicability …

Gender-Differential Associations Between Attention Deficit And Hyperactivity Symptoms And Youth Health Risk Behaviors, Kai-Jyun Jhang, Yu-Fang Lin, Meng-Che Tsai, Carol Strong, Yi-Chang Lin, Yi-Ping Hsieh, Chung-Ying Lin

Attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the common developmental disorders that generally receives clinical attention at learning ages, and some symptoms may persist in young adulthood.1 Past research has demonstrated a consistent association between ADHD and youth health risk behaviors (e.g., cigarette smoking), which often develop during adolescence and contribute to early morbidity and mortality among young adults.2 However, ADHD symptoms are not routinely screened in adolescents and emerging adults during their visits to healthcare providers.3 The six-item Adult Self-Report Scale (ASRS-6) for ADHD has been validated in the young population for screening purposes.4 This short form …

Comparing Likert Scale Functionality Across Culturally And Linguistically Diverse Groups In Science Education Research: An Illustration Using Qatari Students’ Responses To An Attitude Toward Science Survey, Ryan Summers, Shuai Wang, Fouad Abd-El-Khalick, Ziad Said Jun 2019

Comparing Likert Scale Functionality Across Culturally And Linguistically Diverse Groups In Science Education Research: An Illustration Using Qatari Students’ Responses To An Attitude Toward Science Survey, Ryan Summers, Shuai Wang, Fouad Abd-El-Khalick, Ziad Said

Teaching, Leadership & Professional Practice Faculty Publications

Surveying is a common methodology in science education research, including cross-national and cross-cultural comparisons. The literature surrounding students’ attitudes toward science, in particular, illustrates the prevalence of efforts to translate instruments with the eventual goal of comparing groups. This paper utilizes survey data from a nationally representative cross-sectional study of Qatari students in grades 3 through 12 to frame a discussion around the adequacy and extent to which common adaptations allow comparisons to be made among linguistically or culturally different respondents. The analytic sample contained 2,615 students who responded to a previously validated 32-item instrument, 1,704 of whom completed the …


Genome-Wide Dna Methylation Profiling Of Human Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy In Subjects With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, Kai Guo, Sarah Elzinga, Stephanie Eid, Claudia Figueroa-Romero, Lucy M. Hinder, Crystal Pacut, Eva L. Feldman, Junguk Hur May 2019

Genome-Wide Dna Methylation Profiling Of Human Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy In Subjects With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, Kai Guo, Sarah Elzinga, Stephanie Eid, Claudia Figueroa-Romero, Lucy M. Hinder, Crystal Pacut, Eva L. Feldman, Junguk Hur

Biomedical Sciences Faculty Publications

DNA methylation is an epigenetic mechanism important for the regulation of gene expression, which plays a vital role in the interaction between genetic and environmental factors. Aberrant epigenetic changes are implicated in the pathogenesis of diabetes and diabetic complications, but the role of DNA methylation in diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is not well understood. Therefore, our aim in this study was to explore the role of DNA methylation in the progression of DPN in type 2 diabetes. We compared genome-wide DNA methylation profiles of human sural nerve biopsies from subjects with stable or improving nerve fibre counts to biopsies from …

Using crop models to simulate crop growth and productivity at a regional scale is a complex process designed to represent the observed impact of individual farmer decision-making on the agricultural landscape. Typically, during agricultural simulation efforts, the planting acreages have largely been based on a set of predetermined, static scenarios. In this study, we developed a system to dynamically enhance the Agricultural Land Management Alternative with Numerical Assessment Criteria (ALMANAC) crop simulation model through a two-way linkage with an economics land-use model. This coupled model approach integrated farmers’ land-use choices based on relative economic returns and produced dynamic land-use probabilities …

A Comparison Of Pharmacologic Interventions In Pregnant Women With Opioid Use Disorder, Catherine M. Bopp May 2019

A Comparison Of Pharmacologic Interventions In Pregnant Women With Opioid Use Disorder, Catherine M. Bopp

Physician Assistant Scholarly Project Papers

The purpose of this research and systematic literature review is to determine which pharmacotherapeutic agent, methadone or buprenorphine, leads to better outcomes in cases of pregnant mothers with opioid use disorder (OUD). Outcomes considered are maternal compliance, neonatal abstinence syndrome severity, and neonatal length of hospital stay. In the review, PubMed, Clinical Key, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, and DynaMed Plus were searched. Key terms searched were “methadone, buprenorphine, pregnancy”, “opioids, pregnancy”, “neonatal abstinence syndrome” and “medication assisted treatment, pregnancy”. Articles were narrowed with applications of filters for articles in the past fifteen years and by use of the English …

Emg Analysis Of Lassimus Dorsi, Middle Trapezius, And Erector Spinae Muscle Activity During Spinal Rotation: A Pilot Study, Katie Holzheimer, Ross Swartz, Keely Hutchens, Joshua Still May 2019

Emg Analysis Of Lassimus Dorsi, Middle Trapezius, And Erector Spinae Muscle Activity During Spinal Rotation: A Pilot Study, Katie Holzheimer, Ross Swartz, Keely Hutchens, Joshua Still

Physical Therapy Scholarly Projects

Purpose/Hypothesis: Spinal rotation is a very common movement that occurs multiple times each day during normal daily activities or even during certain sport performances. Since this motion is a contributing factor to back injuries, it will be important for physical therapists to consider this concept with rehabilitation programs for current back injuries as well as prevention of future injuries. The LD has attachments to many areas of the body, including the spine, humerus, scapula, and pelvis, which explains why this muscle also contributes to multiple actions at the trunk and upper extremity. Due to the attachment sites and the …
