A Comparative Analysis Of Interactive Multimedia And Instructor-Led Demonstration In Teaching Operation Of Networked Computers., David Nathaniel Yearwood

Theses and Dissertations

This study examined the efficacy of utilizing a computer interactive multimedia module as a tool for increasing student understanding of network computers at UND-Lake Region. Ninety four incoming freshman students enrolled at UND-Lake Region for the 1998/1999 academic year participated in a study comparing two methods of instruction. The following research questions were designed to analyze students' attitudes and retention of training received: (1) Were there differences between the groups on the achievement factors related to computer usage? (2) Were there differences between the groups on the attitude factors related to computer usage? (3) Were there differences between groups on …

Isolation And Identification Of Proteoglycans In Human Glenohumeral Joint Capsule., Susan Jeno

Theses and Dissertations

Characterization of the biochemical structure of cartilage and tendon has been a focus of research in recent decades, but little is known about joint capsules. Classified as dense irregular connective tissue, the extracellular matrix of joint capsules contains water, collagen, and non-collagenous macromolecules including proteoglycans (PGs), and glycoproteins, but specific biochemical composition of human glenohumeral joint capsule has not been elucidated. Structure and function are intimately related, therefore, understanding the structure of the capsule is essential to analysis of its function. The purpose of this research study was to isolate and characterize the PG content and relative proportion of each …

The Perspectives Of Care And Justice And Their Influence On Clinician Conceptualization Of Client Anger., Dona Corcoran Zanotti

Theses and Dissertations

Anger is a dominant, but under-researched, emotion in our society. Mental health providers devote a considerable portion of their time to helping clients deal with anger. However, neither they nor researchers are able to say what treatment is most efficacious or for whom. Gender, age, and culture are all involved in the experience and expression of anger and how anger manifests itself differently among individuals, and possibly in how anger is interpreted by mental health providers. One way to better understand client anger and clinician's conceptualization of that anger is through the examination of anger narratives. This study examined anger …

N-Acetyltransferase Genetic Polymorphisms And Breast Cancer Risk., Anne Carlson Deitz

Theses and Dissertations

Aromatic and heterocyclic amine carcinogens found in cigarette smoke and well done meat require host-mediated metabolic activation before initiating tumors in target organs. The N-acetyltransferase isozymes, NAT1 and NAT2, catalyze the activation (O-acetylation) of aromatic and heterocyclic amines and also the deactivation (N-acetylation) of aromatic amines. Both NAT1 and NAT2 are subject to genetic polymorphisms. Using molecular epidemiological studies, in vitro studies in human mammary tissues, and a genetically defined rapid and slow acetylator congenic hamster model, we tested our hypothesis that rapid NAT1 and/or NAT2 acetylators are at an increased risk of breast cancer, especially those women exposed to …

Development Of A Construction Safety Program, Christopher Haux

Theses and Dissertations

In the mid to late 1990's the United States has been experiencing a thriving economy which has spurred increased amounts of construction. During this time of prosperity, the quality of work and the safety of workers can often be forgotten. Each of these areas becomes important to those involved, and to the ability to continue a strong and prosperous economy. Safety to those who produce and those who buy is a sign of a strong economy and a strong community; because construction of communities is what we are really doing.

The Spiritual Dimension Of Social Work Practice In And Through Research, Education, And Life Experience, Pauline Kay Burthwick

Theses and Dissertations

In recent years there has been an effort to reintroduce religion and spirituality as tangible constructs into social work education and practice in an effort to incorporate all aspects of the client's system (biological, psychological, social, spiritual) and to understand and appreciate the client's diversity and potential strengths and resources. The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of religion and spirituality in the lives of social work practitioners as it relates to their social work practice and to the education of future social workers.

This study was composed of two parts. The first was a secondary data …

Voice Onset Times And Burst Frequencies Of Four Velar Stop Consonants In Gujarati, Manish Rami, Joseph Kalinowski, Andrew Stuart, Michael P. Rastatter

Communication Sciences & Disorders Faculty Publications

Voice onset times (VOT) and burst frequencies of two aspirated (i.e., /k^h /, /g^h/)  and two unaspirated (i.e., /k/, /g/) Gujarati velar stop consonants were investigated in an effort to provide characteristic acoustic information. Stop consonants in a monosyllabic vowel–consonant–vowel (VCV) production were obtained from eight native speakers of Gujarati. Differences in mean VOT and burst frequency as a function of voicing and aspiration were examined. A significant voicing by aspiration effect was found for VOT (p = 50.026). The two voiced stops, while not significantly different from each other had significantly shorter VOTs than voiceless …
