"Tongues Turned Inside Out": The Reception Of "Tam O' Shanter", Gerard Carruthers

"Epistolary Performances": Burns And The Arts Of The Letter, Kenneth G. Simpson Aug 2012

"Epistolary Performances": Burns And The Arts Of The Letter, Kenneth G. Simpson

Studies in Scottish Literature

The letters written by the Scottish poet Robert Burns (1759-17960 show a self-conscious writer, who relished the craft of letter-writing and the role-playing that it allowed him. Examines letters that Burns wrote to Dr. John Moore, Margaret Chalmers, and others, and suggests a kinship between Burns as letter-writer and the letters and novels of Laurence Sterne.

The Effect Of Exercise Training Modality On Serum Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor Levels In Individuals With Type 2 Diabetes, Damon L. Swift, Neil M. Johannsen, Valerie H. Myers, Conrad P. Earnest, Jasper A. J. Smits, Steven N. Blair, Timothy S. Church

Faculty Publications

Introduction: Brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) has been implicated in memory, learning, and neurodegenerative disease. However, the relationship of BDNF with cardiometabolic risk factors is unclear, and the effect of exercise training on BDNF has not been previously explored in individuals with type 2 diabetes.

Methods: Men and women (N=150) with type 2 diabetes were randomized to an aerobic exercise (aerobic), resistance exercise (resistance), or a combination of both (combination) for 9 months. Serum BDNF levels were evaluated at baseline and follow-up from archived blood samples.

Results: Baseline serum BDNF was not associated with fitness, body composition, anthropometry, glucose control, …


Dose-Response Effects Of Exercise Training On The Subjective Sleep Quality Of Postmenopausal Women: Exploratory Analyses Of A Randomised Controlled Trial, Christopher E. Kline, Xuemei Sui, Martica H. Hall, Shawn D. Youngstedt, Steven N. Blair, Conrad P. Earnest, Timothy S. Church Jul 2012

Dose-Response Effects Of Exercise Training On The Subjective Sleep Quality Of Postmenopausal Women: Exploratory Analyses Of A Randomised Controlled Trial, Christopher E. Kline, Xuemei Sui, Martica H. Hall, Shawn D. Youngstedt, Steven N. Blair, Conrad P. Earnest, Timothy S. Church

Faculty Publications

Objective: To investigate whether a dose-response relationship existed between exercise and subjective sleep quality in postmenopausal women. This objective represents a post hoc assessment that was not previously considered.

Design: Parallel-group randomised controlled trial.

Setting: Clinical exercise physiology laboratory in Dallas, Texas.

Participants: 437 sedentary or overweight/obese postmenopausal women.

Intervention: Participants were randomised to one of four treatments, each of 6 months of duration: a non-exercise control treatment (n=92) or one of three dosages of moderate-intensity exercise (50% of VO2peak), designed to meet 50% (n=151), 100% (n=99) or 150% (n=95) of the National Institutes of Health Consensus Development …


Who Decides On Liberty?, Thomas P. Crocker Jul 2012

Who Decides On Liberty?, Thomas P. Crocker

Faculty Publications

Whether approached as a matter of executive discretion, judicial role, or individual rights, questions about security are never far removed from questions about liberty. Tradeoffs between liberty and security often seem unavoidable. Defenders of unbounded executive power argue that security relies on experts to whom citizens and courts alike must defer. But, if the tradeoff between security and liberty is to be a real weighing of the risks, costs, benefits, burdens, and consequences of various policy decisions, then who has the necessary expertise to decide on liberty? After all, to make decisions about the appropriate balance between security and liberty …

Accelerometry Cut Points For Physical Activity In Underserved African Americans, Nevelyn N. Trumpeter, Hannah G. Lawman, Dawn K. Wilson, Russell R. Pate, M Lee Van Horn, Alicia K. Tate Jun 2012

Accelerometry Cut Points For Physical Activity In Underserved African Americans, Nevelyn N. Trumpeter, Hannah G. Lawman, Dawn K. Wilson, Russell R. Pate, M Lee Van Horn, Alicia K. Tate

Faculty Publications

Background: Despite their increased use, no studies have examined the validity of Actical accelerometry cut points for moderate physical activity (PA) in underserved (low-income, high-crime), minority populations. The high rates of chronic disease and physical inactivity in these populations likely impact the measurement of PA. There is growing concern that traditionally defined cut points may be too high for older or inactive adults. The present study aimed to determine the self-selected pace associated with instructions to “walk for exercise” and the corresponding accelerometry estimates (e.g., Actical counts/minute) for underserved, African American adults.

Method: Fifty one participants (61% women) had a …

Clustering Of Unhealthy Behaviors In The Aerobics Center Longitudinal Study, Mariane Héroux, Ian Janssen, Duck-Chul Lee, Xuemei Sui, James R. Hébert, Steven N. Blair Apr 2012

Clustering Of Unhealthy Behaviors In The Aerobics Center Longitudinal Study, Mariane Héroux, Ian Janssen, Duck-Chul Lee, Xuemei Sui, James R. Hébert, Steven N. Blair

Faculty Publications

Background

Clustering of unhealthy behaviors has been reported in previous studies; however the link with all-cause mortality and differences between those with and without chronic disease requires further investigation.

Objectives

To observe the clustering effects of unhealthy diet, fitness, smoking, and excessive alcohol consumption in adults with and without chronic disease and to assess all-cause mortality risk according to the clustering of unhealthy behaviors.

Methods

Participants were 13,621 adults (aged 20–84) from the Aerobics Center Longitudinal Study. Four health behaviors were observed (diet, fitness, smoking, and drinking). Baseline characteristics of the study population and bivariate relations between pairs of the …
