The Regulation Of Irs1 Via S6k-1 And P300 Activity, Vhuthuhawe Tintswalo Madzinge
Doctoral Dissertations and Projects
The study of IRS-1 has increased over the years due to the prevalence of cardiometabolic diseases. An increase in IRS-1 serine phosphorylation is often associated with the development of insulin resistance due to the downregulation bestowed upon it by different kinases such as p70 S6K-1. Recently, p300 has been shown to acetylate IRS-1 thus leading to its downregulation. However, studies have not looked into the relationship that exists between serine phosphorylation and lysine acetylation of IRS-1. In this study, insulin stimulated HepG2 cells were treated with either PF4708671, a selective p70 S6K-1 inhibitor, or C646, a selective p300 inhibitor. PF4708671 …

This qualitative phenomenological study aims to gain insight into the lived experiences of 10 residential undergraduate minority students aged 18 to 36 diagnosed with one or more mental health disorders. The goal is to understand their personal experiences, including any stigma they may have encountered. Through comprehensive interviews, the study explored their lived experiences. The findings …

Creating Talent: The Effect Of Environment On The Development Of Musical Skill, Nathan Jeffrey Herfindahl
Doctoral Dissertations and Projects

Through a qualitative research approach, this study aims to investigate the effect of adolescent living environment on musical skill development by interviewing eight professional opera singers. In exploring the findings from this research, similarities in adolescent living environment have been …

Doctoral Dissertations and Projects
The purpose of this phenomenological study was to describe the experiences of parents whose children have limited educational options in rural North Carolina.

Additionally, choice theory recognizes the basic needs of survival, love and belonging, power, freedom, and fun, and their impact on behavior which Maslow identified in his hierarchy of needs model (Glasser Institute for Choice Theory, n.d.).

Being Present Without Being Present: An Internet-Based Approach To Providing Pastoral Counseling To An Always Online Generation, Stephen Lyon Woolverton
Doctoral Dissertations and Projects
The increasing reliance that Millennials and Gen-Z Christians have on the internet for almost every question that comes up in their lives should be viewed by pastoral counselors as a cultural context that need to be understood as part of the counseling process and not an obstacle to the counseling process. The emergence of the internet, and the part that it has played in the culture of American Christians who have grown up with constant access to this avenue of communication, has only recently begun to be seen and utilized by pastoral counselors.

Pedophilia: Understanding The Origins And Problems Within The Criminal Justice System, James K. Mcelhaney
Doctoral Dissertations and Projects
Societal stigma, criminal sanctions, and the mental illness or disorder of pedophilia are explored in this paper because of the considerable research gaps that have accumulated over the past decade. Most of the data acquired regarding individuals with pedophilia have been predominantly from male offenders, with most of the information coming from reports to local law enforcement and the FBI. The outcome of multiple studies shows that neuroimaging, associated brainwaves, and related sexual attraction are significantly different for individuals with pedophiliac tendencies than for others. Studies also reveal that research has been limited to prevention techniques and therapy for nonoffenders …

Exploring High-School Students' Positive Lived Experiences With School And Their Perceptions Of Qualities That Make Good Teachers: A Phenomenological Study, Carissa Annmarie Flook
Doctoral Dissertations and Projects

Exploring Techniques Used To Make Doctor-Recommended Changes In Diet And Exercise For Patients With Cardiac Disease, Amy Rechner
Doctoral Dissertations and Projects
Motivation plays an important role in treatment adherence, as patients should make necessary health behavior changes based on their physician’s recommendations. Self-efficacy and resilience can help/hinder the patient from implementing and maintaining these changes. Previous studies concluded that individuals cannot rely on medication alone and must implement healthy lifestyle changes. However, these changes may be difficult, as the individuals may face physical or emotional barriers. Therefore, it is important to analyze the factors that motivate an individual to overcome these challenges and follow the recommended treatment plan. This qualitative study examined four participants age x-y through in-depth interviews. Three participants, …
