Relations Between Discrimination, Negative Attribution Style, Cortisol, And Depressive Symptoms In Adolescents., Hannah Widmer
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The aim of our study was to integrate the chronic stressor of Perceived Everyday Discrimination (PED) into the Hopelessness Theory of Depression with a focus on the comorbidity between physical and mental health by way of depressive symptoms and cortisol in adolescents. Research has shown that cognitive diatheses mediate the relation between stress and depressive symptoms and cortisol predicts depression. We hypothesized that Negative Attribution Style (NAS) and cortisol would mediate the relation between PED and depressive symptoms. Altogether, 99 adolescents (mean age: 14.10 years, 36.4% female; 63.6% male; ethnicity: 2% Latinx; 98.2 % non-Latinx; race: 41.4% Black, 34.8% White, …

Regulation And Mechanisms Of Ocular Dominance Plasticity At Cellular Resolution., Thomas Christopher Brown
Regulation And Mechanisms Of Ocular Dominance Plasticity At Cellular Resolution., Thomas Christopher Brown
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Sensory systems throughout the brain require experience to aid in proper wiring during development. While forming, many sensory systems have periods of heightened sensitivity where alterations in the quality of experience can have a profound impact on cortical responses throughout life. These periods of heightened sensitivity have been coined critical periods. In the visual system of mice a critical period for ocular dominance has been well studied and defined between postnatal days nineteen and thirty-six. During this critical period, altering visual experience by suturing one eye closed called monocular deprivation (MD) shifts responses in cortex towards the non-deprived eye. Similar …

Health Professions Education And Critical Action Engagement: A Mixed Method Analysis., Leonda Richardson
Health Professions Education And Critical Action Engagement: A Mixed Method Analysis., Leonda Richardson
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Poorer health outcomes disproportionately impact racial/ethnically minoritized (e.g., Black Indigenous People of Color, or BIPOC) populations in the U.S. One plausible reason for the persistence of poorer health outcomes among this population is the teaching of racialized curricular content within academic health professions programs. This includes the absence of appropriate context through explicit socio-political curricular content (SPC) and critical pedagogy (i.e., social and structural determinants of health, history of racism in health care, social justice concepts; dialogue and reflective writing). Racialized curriculum is thought to initiate and/or exacerbate existing racial biases, cultural incompetence, and perpetuate dominant medical ideologies and myths …
Establishing A Mouse Model Of Cerebral/Cortical Visual Impairment., Dana K. Oakes
Establishing A Mouse Model Of Cerebral/Cortical Visual Impairment., Dana K. Oakes
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Cerebral/cortical visual impairment (CVI) is a disorder most often caused by perinatal hypoxic injury to the developing brain. CVI is the leading cause of childhood visual impairment in developed nations, encompassing deficits in many aspects of vision including visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, and object recognition. The pathophysiology of CVI is not well understood because no animal model currently exists to study this disorder. Because there is no animal model, the pathophysiology of CVI is poorly understood. Here, we developed a murine early postnatal hypoxic model of CVI by exposing mice to 9.5% O2 at postnatal day (P)3 for a …

Constant-Ph Molecular Dynamics At Inorganic Interfaces: Adding A New Dimension To Simulations Of Interfacial Phenomena., Ted Kalbfleisch
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This dissertation explores the application of novel molecular dynamics simulation methods to better understand complex systems, with a particular focus on silica materials and protein interactions. Silica materials, known for their versatile surface and solution chemistries, play critical roles in catalysis, chromatography, and wastewater treatment. Despite their widespread use, the molecular-level interactions between silica surfaces and their environments remain poorly understood. To address this knowledge gap, we employed λ-dynamics enabled constant pH molecular dynamics to dynamically model protonation and deprotonation events on silica surfaces. Traditional experimental techniques such as x-ray crystallography, NMR, and cryo-EM are inadequate for probing structures in …

A Study Of Post-Quantum Cryptographic Schemes., Max Cartor
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
As the world edges closer to widespread quantum computing, cryptosystems need to be able to withstand attacks from new adversaries. Classical public key cryptosystems that currently protect the digital world will no longer be secure in the post-quantum setting. Two of the leading options for public key post-quantum cryptography are multivariate and lattice-based cryptography. One goal of this work is to introduce and classify the security of the multivariate cryptosystems from the C∗ and Oil and Vinegar families, and attacks that have proven successful against them. We begin by outlining the growth of multivariate cryptography from C∗ and its linage. …

Risk Perception, Diabetes Risk Knowledge, And Fatalism In Adults At Risk For Type 2 Diabetes: A Self-Determination Theory Perspective., Cassandra M. Gonzalez
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Introduction: Rising rates of diabetes in the U.S. indicate an urgent need to explore and understand factors that elucidate individual diabetes risk. Research of fatalism, the belief that events are predetermined, suggests that fatalistic beliefs influence, shape, and potentially determine health behavior and decision-making. The Theory of Self-Determination posits the importance of motivation and competence in health behavior outcomes. The present study aimed to expand fatalism research by examining associations among fatalism and diabetes-related beliefs and knowledge, including perceived risk and risk knowledge, within the Self-Determination theoretical framework. Methods: Participants were 130 adults aged 26 to 64 without diabetes at …

Furthering Ascidian Taxonomy Using Molecular Biology, Nicholas Gulnick
Furthering Ascidian Taxonomy Using Molecular Biology, Nicholas Gulnick
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Ascidians are our closest invertebrate relatives and comprise nearly 3,000 species separated into three orders: Aplousobranchia (most speciose), Stolidobranchia, and Phlebobranchia (least speciose). Ascidians can be classified as either solitary or colonial organisms. Species delimitation using morphological characters alone has had varied results. Well known, widely distributed, morphological species have turned out to be catch all species comprised of several cryptic species. Molecular markers can help mitigate some of the issues presented by strictly using morphological observations, including resolving the status of cryptic species, and accessing the expert knowledge required to identify a species. By incorporating molecular markers and pairing …

An Exploration Of The Lived Experiences And Decision-Making Processes Of Alternative Education Teachers Using An Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis, Ashley Irene Zehner
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Students with behavioral challenges and mental health concerns have unique academic, behavioral, and emotional needs. Due to high student to teacher ratio and lack of mental health and behavioral resources, some students may not have their needs met in a public school general education setting. An option that can be a better solution for these students due to lower student to teacher ratio, mental health resources, and behavioral support is schooling in alternative schools. This study explored the daily routines and the decision-making process of alternative educators as they work to meet the multifaceted needs of their students. Using an …
South Carolina Instructional Leaders’ Conceptualization And Perception Of Learning Thrill: An Exploratory Interview Study, David Paul Cupolo
South Carolina Instructional Leaders’ Conceptualization And Perception Of Learning Thrill: An Exploratory Interview Study, David Paul Cupolo
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Numerous students across the United States are observed as being disengaged and bored in several of their learning experiences. Similarly, innumerable students also self-report being bored and disengaged. Over 40% of South Carolina (SC) students in Grades 3–8 report being compliant, disengaged, or mixed in all three domains (behaviorally, cognitively, and emotionally). Hattie and Donoghue propose a new conceptual learning model—skill, will, and thrill. They suggest that this model will improve student learning experiences to the transfer level, which is thrill. At the thrill level, students can then apply their learning to similar or different contexts. As the concept of …
Characterizing Groundwater Flow Across The Barrier Island-High Marsh Interface, Dean Michael Wrobel
Characterizing Groundwater Flow Across The Barrier Island-High Marsh Interface, Dean Michael Wrobel
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The freshwater resources of barrier islands are influenced by a variety of hydrogeologic factors, which create unique regions of groundwater composition. Factors including evapotranspiration, geologic constraints, tidal forcing, and meteoric inputs influence subterranean flow creating a groundwater salinity gradient throughout the island-marsh setting which directly influences the spatial distribution of dominant vegetation on the island. Rising sea levels and variation in local climate may alter the hydrologic balance on barrier islands, potentially shifting salinity gradients and ecological baselines on short timescales. The intrusion of saltwater into the barrier island freshwater system could result in the shifting of ecotones and potential …
Tidal Creeks As Conduits Of Land-Derived Nutrients To The Coastal Ocean, Christianna R. Morton
Tidal Creeks As Conduits Of Land-Derived Nutrients To The Coastal Ocean, Christianna R. Morton
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
A common feature of the coastline of South Carolina are small, low relief, tidal creek systems. Due to their tidally dominated nature, these systems can act as conduits of land-based nutrients to the coastal ocean. As development along the coastline increases, the volume of nutrients entering tidal creeks will likely exhibit an associated increase. The focus of this research is an investigation of the input of nutrients into White Point Swash, a tidal creek located in northern South Carolina, via point and nonpoint sources, the behavior of nutrients once they enter this system, and the potential removal of nutrients by …
Emotionality Stigma Scale: Measurement Development, Reliability, And Validity., Hayley D. Seely
Emotionality Stigma Scale: Measurement Development, Reliability, And Validity., Hayley D. Seely
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Emotions are biological responses to stimuli that allow individuals to derive meaning, appraise experiences, and prepare to respond. However, individuals perceive emotions differently based on emotion socialization which not only dictates the way emotions are viewed and managed but also has been directly linked with mental health outcomes. Furthermore, research shows emotion socialization is informed by demographic variables such as gender such that the expectations of emotionality differ; where women are taught to express emotions, men are taught to conceal. Given the societal rules regarding emotionality, it is possible that emotionality stigma – the stigma around the experience and expression …

Analysis Of The Relationship Between Flow Patterns In The Post-Stenotic Region Of Model Arteries And Stenosis Severity., Michael Laroche
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
In this study, contour fields of mean age and turbulence kinetic energy (TKE) in the post-stenotic region of model arteries were analyzed to explore their correlation with FFR. While both high and low FFR cases exhibited similarities with an inner low-age region and an outer high-age region, low FFR cases displayed asymmetry in their low-age regions due to eccentric stenosis. Moreover, gradients of age across the artery diameter were more pronounced for low FFR cases. Additionally, low FFR cases demonstrated significantly higher TKE in the post-stenotic blood jet stream compared to high FFR cases that are reflected in low-age boundary …
Associative Stigma Among Criminal Legal Staff: Measurement And Relation To Job Factors, Shania Siebert
Associative Stigma Among Criminal Legal Staff: Measurement And Relation To Job Factors, Shania Siebert
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
A sizeable portion of the United States (U.S.) population works within the criminal legal system, and individuals who have legal involvement are a highly stigmatized population. Research suggests working with stigmatized populations can result in the transfer of stigma to professionals, referred to as associative stigma. While qualitative studies indicate there are negative perceptions related to working in criminal legal settings, there is no quantitative research on criminal legal staff’s experience with associative stigma and how it impacts job-related factors. The purpose of this study was to 1) examine the psychometrics of an adapted measure to quantitatively assess associative stigma …
