Assessing The Efficacy Of The Training Opportunities Program For Undiscovered Potential (Top Up) Dropout Prevention Program At Western Kentucky University For At-Risk High School Students, Kaye Foust

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

The current study examined the efficacy of the Training Opportunities Program for Undiscovered Potential (TOP UP) at Western Kentucky University. TOP UP at WKU consists of a yearlong program addressing the academic, social, and career orientation needs of "at risk" high school students from the ten county Barren River Area Development District (BRADD). The primary focus of the program revolves around an eight-week, residential work-study phase held on campus and targets sixty "at risk" high school students enrolled in the ninth, tenth, or eleventh grades. The current study included students enrolled in the program during the academic years 1990-91, 1991-92, …

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

The purpose of this thesis is to study the influence of social, economic, occupational, cultural, educational, and demographic factors among African American communication professionals on their career choices. A quantitative research design was chosen for this research. The 300-member Black Caucus of the Speech Communication Association was chosen as the survey population. Each member was mailed a 17-item questionnaire. Of the 141 members who responded, 83 were African American; their responses were used in all data analyses. The major findings of this study are the following: (1) interest in or knowledge of the communication field was a significantly more important …

Comparison Of Micrscan Identification And Susceptibility Testing Methods For Streptococcus Dysgalactiae To Conventional Biochemical Reactions And Kirby-Bauer Susceptibility Testing Methods, Anthony Hatcher

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

A total of 100 isolates of Streptococcus dysgalact iae from bovine mastitis infections was used to evaluate and compare the biochemical reactions of the gram positive Combo Type 6 panel on the MicroScan autoSCANR system to a conventional procedure for identification of streptococci. Of the 100 isolates, 83.3% was identified as "Very Rare Biotype" by the MicroScan and classified as S. dysgalactiae by conventional methods. Of the remaining 16.7%, MicroScan identified 3.3% as Streptococcus morbillorum, 3.3% as Aerococcus viridians, 3.3% as Streptococcus constellatum/milleri, 1.7% as Streptococcus agalactiae, 1.7% as Streptococcus mitis, 1.7% as Streptococcus sanguis, and 1.7% as Streptococcus intermidis/rni …

The Role Of Cd8+T Cells In The Immune Response To Trypanosoma Cruzi In Mice Held At Elevated Environmental Temperature, Zhijan Ming

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

When maintained at 36°C, T. cruzi infected C3H mice survive an infection that is lethal to mice maintained at room temperature. To study the role of CD8+ T cells in this phenomenon, anti-CD8 monoclonal antibody (MAb) was used to deplete CD8+ T cells in vivo. An IgG2a-producing rat hybridoma (designated 53-6.72) was adapted to serum free medium, and anti-CD8 MAb was purified from culture supernatant by ammonium sulfate precipitation. Mice were injected intraperitoneally with 200(ig of MAb for three consecutive days. On the fifth day, the result of the in vivo depletion of CD8+ T cells was determined by an …

The Role Of Cd4+T Cells In The Immune Response To Trypanosoma Cruzi In Mice Held At Elevated Environmental Temperature, Qi Guo

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

The immune response of mice infected with Trypanosoma cruzi (the causative agent of Chagas' disease) has been extensively studied, and it has been demonstrated that changes in environmental temperature can influence the resistance of infected mice to the parasite. In particular, several investigators have demonstrated an increased resistance to T. cruzi infection when infected mice are maintained at 36°C. This increased resistance is reflected in decreased parasitemias and increased longevity. In addition, this enhanced resistance has been shown to be an immunological phenomenon. CD4+ T cells play a very important role in immune responses to parasitic infections through the secretion …

Evaluation And Comparison Of Environmental Contaminants Present In Two Types Of Swine Rearing Facilities, Carolyn Crowe

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

It has been reported that pigs weaned and moved into an isolated nursery have greater growth rates measured on an average daily gain, and thymus gland weights than do their counterparts in a conventional nursery. In this study I explored the association of this biological difference with environmental contaminants. Levels of total and respirable dust and endotoxin, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, ammonia, and temperature and percent relative humidity were measured in two types of swine rearing facilities: isolated nursery and nursery within a conventional farm. We found isolated nurseries have significantly (p<0.05) less total and respirable dust and endotoxin and greater growth rates. With few exceptions, our measurements of levels of total and respirable dust and total endotoxin were within published ranges. Levels of respirable endotoxin were higher than published ranges.

Children's Understanding Of The Emotions Of Victims And Victimizers: Developmental And Peer Status Differences, Michelle Scott

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

Research has shown that children's standing in the peer group is an extremely valid predictor of later developmental problems. Children who are rejected by their peers and who exhibit aggressive behavior have a poor developmental prognosis; these rejected/aggressive children often have problems throughout development and into adulthood. The correlates of peer rejection include distinctive behavioral and social cognitive patterns. Research has shown that rejected/aggressive children's thinking about social situations with peers contributes to a pattern of antisocial behavior. In particular, rejected/aggressive children demonstrate deficits in each of the stages of the social information processing model proposed by Dodge (1986). Research …

Prelude To The Great Society: Cultural Change In The 20th Century America, Julie Davis

Mahurin Honors College Capstone Experience/Thesis Projects

The decades immediately following World War II were prosperous but filled with great inequalities. Many social change movements, including the War on Poverty, attempted to eliminate these inequalities. Yet, programs as large and far reaching as these required many changes to the society itself. President Lyndon Johnson and Dr. Julius Richmond, director of Head Start, agreed that certain societal factors were necessary before social change could occur. Johnson felt that these conditions were "a recognition of need, a willingness to act, and someone to lead the effort" (Johnson The Vantage Point 70). The widespread existence of poverty in Post World …

Women Writers In Revolution: Feminism In Germaine De Staël And Ding Ling, Sara Powell

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

In this essay, the concern is feminism in the writings of the two revolutionary women, Germaine de Stael, who lived and wrote during the French revolutionary era, and Ding Ling, who lived and wrote during the Chinese Communist revolutionary era. The main theme of the essay is to determine whether the feminism in their work is of a similar nature despite the vast differences in the times and places in which they each lived. Concomitantly, the theme is also an attempt to discover through such similarities if feminism is of a universal nature. Through biographical sketches and analysis of selected …
