“You Are Not The Same Person You Were:” On Diagnosis Seeking During A Liminal Period And Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, Kaylee A. Appleton Feb 2024

“You Are Not The Same Person You Were:” On Diagnosis Seeking During A Liminal Period And Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, Kaylee A. Appleton

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

“You are the healthiest looking sick person I’ve ever met”

(Daphne, 62)

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is one of many chronic illnesses considered to be “invisible.” Once the onset of symptoms occurs, the illness can drastically change the dynamic of an individual's life in ways that may not be noticeable to others, even before a chronic illness diagnosis. I discuss how these individuals experience the liminal period of developing symptoms and seeking a diagnosis. Furthermore, I discuss vignettes that exemplifies the occurrence of a liminal state while looking at the current for-profit set-up of healthcare in the United States. Utilizing …


Energetic Value Estimates Of Wild And Domesticated Food Items Consumed By Congolese Bayaka Foragers, Lucie Benoit, Sheina Lew-Levy, Yann R. Ouamba, Alyssa N. Crittenden Feb 2024

Energetic Value Estimates Of Wild And Domesticated Food Items Consumed By Congolese Bayaka Foragers, Lucie Benoit, Sheina Lew-Levy, Yann R. Ouamba, Alyssa N. Crittenden

Journal of Ecological Anthropology

We present a dataset that systematically estimates the energetic value of wild and domesticated food resources collected and consumed by Congolese BaYaka foragers. This dataset is unique in that it accounts for everyday practices of food processing and consumption. Reported values of inedible portions, moisture content, and estimated energetic values (kcal/g) were extracted from field research and the published food chemistry and nutrition literature. These data are central to understanding how nutritional needs are met in rainforest environments and will allow for current and future tracking of diet composition in this and similar ecologies. The dataset is available at https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.19446938.v9


Dieta Y Eficiencia Digestiva Del Lechosero Pechiblanco Saltator Orenocensis / Diet And Digestive Effi Ciency Of The Orinocan Saltator Saltator Orenocensis, María Alexandra García-Amado, Adriana Rodríguez-Ferraro, Carlos Bosque Feb 2024

Dieta Y Eficiencia Digestiva Del Lechosero Pechiblanco Saltator Orenocensis / Diet And Digestive Effi Ciency Of The Orinocan Saltator Saltator Orenocensis, María Alexandra García-Amado, Adriana Rodríguez-Ferraro, Carlos Bosque

Revista Venezolana de Ornitología

El objetivo de este estudio fue realizar una descripción de los hábitos y las preferencias alimenticias del Lechosero pechiblanco Saltator orenocensis en los llanos de Venezuela, así como estimar la tasa de ingesta, la eficiencia digestiva y los tiempos de retención del alimento en cautiverio utilizando dos dietas artificiales. En cuanto a la dieta natural, esta ave se alimenta principalmente de frutas, maduras e inmaduras (47%), flores y yemas florales (29,8%) y hojas y yemas foliares (11,9%). Al analizar el presupuesto de tiempo, las aves pasaron la mayor parte del tiempo (cerca del 40%) en reposo y sólo pasaron entre …

Revista Venezolana de Ornitología

In Venezuela, bird species of different natural environments have been used in heavy metals (HP) tests. Nevertheless, studies in captive birds are unexisting. Cadmium (Cd), zinc (Zn), lead (Pb), copper (Cu), and chromiun (Cr) levels were examined in liver, pectoral muscle and feathers of captive Budgerigars Melopsittacus undulatus. Concentrations of Cd, Zn and Cu showed highly signifi cant differences among analyzed tissues, following the patterns: liver> feathers> muscle for Cd; feathers> liver> muscle for Zn; and feathers> muscle> liver for Cu. The Cr showed the follow pattern: muscle> feathers> liver, but there were no difference . The Pb was only …
