Assessing A Reading Score's Ability To Predict Pta Program Student Success, Tiffany H. Bain
Doctoral Dissertations and Projects
Admission into a physical therapist assistant (PTA) program continues to be highly competitive, with consistently more applicants than available seats. Student success is essential for maintaining CAPTE accreditation. There is limited research on admission criteria and predictors of success in physical therapist assistant education. This study aimed to determine if the Accuplacer or ACT reading test scores can predict student success (program completion and first-time NPTE-PTA) in a physical therapist assistant program using Astin’s input-environment-output (IEO) model as the theoretical foundation. This non-experimental logistic regression study used retrospective secondary data from an associate degree-level physical therapist assistant program 2016 through …

Scenario - Based Training In Law Enforcement, Troy Michael Bankert
Scenario - Based Training In Law Enforcement, Troy Michael Bankert
Doctoral Dissertations and Projects
The discovery of the value and obstacles of scenario-based training for law enforcement from a phenomenological perspective was pursued from a grounded theory. The lack of empirical data and research guided the use of the grounded theory methodology, which attempts through individual professional interviews to discover the values and obstacles of scenario-based training for law enforcement. Clarifications and comprehensive definitions of the constituent elements characterizing a scenario-based training methodology are presented while concurrently identifying the intricate interdependencies between its qualitative measurement and associated cost factors. The exploration of implementing scenario-based training was conducted through personal interviews of criminal justice practitioners …

Bearing The Weight: A Phenomenological Exploration Of Burnout And Stress Among Medicolegal Investigators, Ava Juliette Thorpe
Doctoral Dissertations and Projects
This phenomenological study aimed to investigate and comprehend the impact of burnout and associated maladaptive behaviors among medicolegal and coroner investigators in the United States. Burnout is broadly defined as factors impeding practitioners' physical and psychological well-being in these fields. Despite extensive research on burnout among criminal justice practitioners in trauma-informed care environments, there is a notable gap in the literature concerning support mechanisms for medicolegal and coroner systems (Slack, 2020). This study addressed this gap by exploring the lived experiences of medicolegal and coroner investigators, providing insights for addressing burnout in these contexts. The central problem addressed in this …

Nonverbal Cues In Real-World, High-Stakes Deception, Nancy L. Carr
Nonverbal Cues In Real-World, High-Stakes Deception, Nancy L. Carr
Doctoral Dissertations and Projects
Decades of low-stakes deception research, in which participants lied without risk of severe personal, professional, or legal consequences, produced few reliable deception cues. As a result, deception detection methods based on low-stakes findings generated limited accuracy. More research was needed to identify reliable deception cues performed in real world scenarios. To address the problem, this within-subjects mixed methods study coded videos of public figures’ nonverbal (NV) cues during real-world high-stakes (RWHS) baseline, deception, and confession (BDC); tested each cue for significance; and identified demeanor (descriptively and quantitatively) for each condition. The qualitative study described how each subject’s behavior changed between …

Effects Of High-Intensity Interval Training Combined With Resistance Training On Functional Capacity And Clinical Risk Factors In Patients With Cardiovascular Disease, Philip Matthew Wilson
Doctoral Dissertations and Projects
Moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT), resistance training (RT), MICT combined with RT, and high-intensity interval training (HIIT) have all been proven to provide clinical benefits for individuals with cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, the effects of HIIT combined with RT on functional capacity outcomes and clinical risk factors outcomes in patients with CVD are not well investigated. Therefore, the purpose of this retrospective cohort study is to investigate the synergistic effects of HIIT combined with RT on functional capacity outcomes including six-minute walk distance (6MWD), peak oxygen uptake (VO2peak), and metabolic equivalent of tasks (METs) and clinical risk factors outcomes including systolic …

Battle Of Antietam: Why Sixteen Regiments Suffered Over 50% Casualties, Michael D. Debarto
Doctoral Dissertations and Projects
The Battle of Antietam saw some of the most terrible fighting of the war. Nearly 23,000 men were killed or wounded that day and of the over 400 regiments that were engaged, sixteen of them entered the battle with over 250 men but ended the day with over 50% casualties. The primary reasons for these sixteen to have suffered such terrible losses are: 1) five of the regiments had the unfortunate luck of halting on a piece of high ground becoming the target of every enemy regiment and artillery battery within range, 2) thirteen regiments adhered to accepted doctrine but …
The 12-Hour Shift: A Phenomenological Study Of Law Enforcement Trauma, Alexandria Reagan Arthur
The 12-Hour Shift: A Phenomenological Study Of Law Enforcement Trauma, Alexandria Reagan Arthur
Doctoral Dissertations and Projects
The purpose of this qualitative phenomenological study is to better understand the emotional distress that Law Enforcement officers experience in a 12-hour shift of work in the southwest Virginia area. The emotional distress experienced can cause long term psychological and physical reactions. However, there is a stigma associated with the officers seeking mental health treatment which causes the likelihood of this stress to increase. If officers are open to nonjudgmental mental health support, there could be fewer mental health instabilities throughout the LEO career. This transformation could in turn help officers seek assistance during the course of their career as …

Zion electric shock evangelism to shock their hearts into the rhythm of sharing the gospel. This spiritually healthy regiment will benefit those who witness …
The Cold War Never Ended, Paul Mitura
The Cold War Never Ended, Paul Mitura
Doctoral Dissertations and Projects
The two countries that played the largest role in defeating Nazi Germany were allies at one moment and enemies the next without any form of an attack or hostile military action. The unusual phenomenon of two world superpowers opposing each other for several decades without firing a shot in a worldwide ideological war was unique and confined only to this period of world history. This was a polarizing global event that was believed to have been titled such by Prime Minister Winston Churchill, and it remains unknown who coined the phrase "There have been three world wars; two hot, and …
