What were the sources of feedback which influenced subsequent decision making for processing of cues?

Theory development was based on an in-depth investigation of 12 novice nurses practicing in rural critical access hospitals in a North Central State. This study consisted of face to face interviews with 12 registered nurses, nine of whom were observed …

Comparing Levels Of Anti-Fat Bias Between American And Mexican Athletes And Undergraduate Physical Education And Exercise Science Students, Miriam M. Wood

Theses and Dissertations

Purpose: The present study aimed to replicate and extend Chambliss et al., (2004) research by measuring and comparing the ratings of anti-fat bias between American and Mexican athletes and undergraduate physical education and exercise science students. Second, the study aimed to investigate a possible socially desirable response threat to the validity of the explicit anti-fat bias measure. Method: Undergraduate (n = 63) student in the US (M = 20.85 yr), undergraduate (n = 40) students in Mexico (M= 27.23 yr) and Mexican athletes (n =15) filled out four self-reported questionnaires to investigate their levels of anti-fat bias.

Quality Of Life As Perceived By Rural Dwellers With A Serious Mental Illness, Deborah G. Townsend

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this qualitative study is to develop a theoretical model that describes perceptions about quality or life (QOL) and maintenance of mental wellness as held by rural dwellers with serious mental illness (SMI). The National Institute of Mental Health (2006), approximately 1 in 4 adults will have a diagnosable mental illness in any given year and within this population, 6 percent will have SMI. Furthermore, mental bealth providers are scarce in rural areas and isolation and poverty decrease the likelihood of individuals with SMI obtaining services. Significant gaps in knowledge exist related to evidence-based psychiatric treatments and services …

Diabetes Education: Supporting The Pre-Adolescent Child, Janet M. Mattson

Theses and Dissertations

A diagnosis of Type I diabetes impacts every aspect of life for the pre-adolescent child. ln order to successfully manage Type J diabetes, the child must learn the complex regimen of its ca re. The responsibility for diabetes se lf-ca re begins to transfer to the child at pre-adolescence. Controlling diabetes is difficult for the pre-adolescent, however, clue to the lack of understanding the complex concepts of this disease and the unique developmental tasks associated with this age group. Diabetes educat ion must support the cogniti ve level and developmental needs of the pre-adolescent. Literature emphasizes the need for age …

Air Traffic Controllers: Flying In The Face Of Danger? A Look Into The Effects Of The Time Of Day, Jason Boergerhoff

Theses and Dissertations

Since the events of September 11, this country has continued to grow and its commercial air travel along with it.

Regulation Of Proteome Maintenance Gene Expression By Activators Of Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor Α, Hongzu Ren, Beena Vallanat, Holly M. Brown-Borg, Richard Currie, J. Christopher Corton

Biomedical Sciences Faculty Publications

The nuclear receptor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα) is activated by a large number of xenobiotic and hypolipidemic compounds called peroxisome proliferator chemicals (PPCs). One agonist of PPARα (WY-14,643) regulates responses in the mouse liver to chemical stress in part by altering expression of genes involved in proteome maintenance (PM) including protein chaperones in the heat shock protein (Hsp) family and proteasomal genes (Psm) involved in proteolysis. We hypothesized that other PPARα activators including diverse hypolipidemic and xenobiotic compounds also regulate PM genes in the rat and mouse liver. We examined the expression of PM genes in rat and mouse …
