Finding A Fit Between Work And Family Life: Support For Working Caregivers, Eileen M. Brennan, Julie M. Rosenzweig, Alice Myrth Ogilvie

School of Social Work Faculty Publications and Presentations

This article examines the ways in which families with employed caregivers and children with emotional and behavioral disorders manage to meet the demands of employment and family responsibilities. Finding a fit between the demands of work and family life is a struggle for every employed mother and father. For parents whose children have emotional, behavioral, or mental disorders, meeting this challenge can prove extremely stressful, particularly since supportive services are notably lacking. There has been little research on the perceptions of employed parents of children with mental health concerns about the ways in which work and family responsibilities can fit …

17Β-Estradiol Enhances Nmda Receptor-Mediated Epsps And Long-Term Potentiation, Michael Foy, J. Xu, X. Xie, R. D. Brinton, R. F. Thompson, T. W. Berger

Psychological Science Faculty Works

17β-estradiol enhances NMDA receptor-mediated EPSPs and long-term potentiation. Gonadal steroid hormones influence CNS functioning through a variety of different mechanisms. To test the hypothesis that estrogen modulates synaptic plasticity in the hippocampus, in vitro hippocampal slices from 2-mo-old Sprague-Dawley male rats were used to determine the effect of 17β-estradiol on bothN-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptor-mediated excitatory postsynaptic potentials (EPSPs) through intracellular recordings and long-term potentiation (LTP) through extracellular recordings. Intracellular EPSPs and extracellular field EPSPs (fEPSPs) were recorded from CA1 pyramidal cells by stimulating Schaffer collateral fibers. In intracellular experiments, slices were perfused with medium containing bicuculline (5 μM) and …

Changes In Groundwater Conditions In The Edwards And Trinity Aquifers, 1987-1997, For Portions Of Bastrop, Bell, Burnet, Lee, Milam, Travis, And Williamson Counties, Texas, Cindy Ridgeway, Harald Petrini

KIP Articles

The purpose of this report is to update the Texas Water Development Board’s (TWDB) Report 326, Evaluation of Water Resources in Bell, Burnet, Travis, Williamson and Parts of Adjacent Counties, Texas, written by Gail Duffin and Steven P. Musick in 1991. The groundwater problems identified in the initial investigation included a lack of reliable supplies for both short-term drought demand and long-term economic development (Duffin and Musick, 1991). According to TWDB Report 326, during late summer dry conditions and drought, water levels quickly drop in the Edwards aquifer due to low area-wide storage and low permeability in the Trinity Group …

Microcystins In Components Of Twelve New Hampshire Lakes Of Varied Trophic Status, Kimberly M. Johnson

Center for Freshwater Biology

Cyanobacteria toxins, called microcystins (MCs), were found in components of twelve, stratified New Hampshire (USA) lakes of varied trophic status during the summer of 1998. A sensitive ELISA method detected MC levels in whole lakewater, grazable phytoplankton fractions (<30 mm), net phytoplankton (> 375 µm), and isolated copepod and cladoceran (Daphnia sp.) samples. Whole lakewater (WLW) and net phytoplankton MC concentrations ranged between 9 and 165 ng MC L-1 and 0.2 and 2031 mg MC g-1-dry wt, respectively. Lakewater MC concentrations correlated with total epilimnetic phosphorus and total epilimnetic chlorophyll a concentrations and inversely with Secchi disk depth.

The filter-feeding cladoceran (daphnid) and omnivorous …

Hannah More And The Evangelical Influence On The English Novel, Karen Swallow Prior

Faculty Dissertations

Hannah More was a significant literary, political, and social figure of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Ample evidence exists that More's only novel, Coelebs in Search of a Wife (1808), played a significant role in increasing the popularity and acceptability of the genre of the novel. Yet, More's rightful place in the story of the "rise of the novel" has been largely overlooked in literary criticism today.

This dissertation examines the life, work, and influence of Hannah More, an Evangelical Anglican, feminist, and social reformer. Emphasis is placed on those aspects of her life that demonstrate More's unique …

Attatchment Classification Among 18 Month Old Children Of Adolescent Mothers, Lynne M. Andreozzi

Open Access Dissertations

This investigation was conducted to examine the nature of the attachment relationship among children of adolescent mothers using a standard measure known as the Strange Situation procedure. This project compared the attachment relationships of children of adolescent mothers with children of older, non-adolescent adult mothers. Given the paucity of research on attachment among infants of adolescent mothers, the rationale for conducting this study was to supplement an existing weak literature base. The major prediction of this study was that there would be significantly more insecurity among 18-month-old infants of adolescent mothers. The study further attempted to examine this relationship in …

Antihypertensive Pharmacotherapy: Does Prescribing Follow National Guideline Recommendations?, Edward Roy Westrick

Open Access Dissertations

Background

Hypertension is a common chronic disease, which is expensive to treat and has serious but preventable long-term complications. It should be possible to optimize antihypertensive therapy such that the most prevention is obtained with the least cost. This optimization can be approached through adherence to current national evidence-based practice guidelines for the treatment of hypertension.

Objectives

The objectives of this study are: (1) to test hypotheses regarding comorbidities and prescribing in hypertension and, (2) to identify opportunities to improve adherence to treatment guidelines for hypertension.

Methods

The study employs a nonconcurrent cohort research design for hypothesis testing in incident …

The Use Of A Habit Reversal Treatment For Chronic Facial Pain In A Minimal Therapist Contact Format, Donald R. Townsend

Theses and Dissertations

The temporomandibular disorders (TMD) diminish quality of life and can be costly for both individuals and the health care system. Stress from a variety of factors, including daily hassles and maladaptive thought patterns, has been commonly cited as a contributing factor in TMD. Support for this hypothesis comes from research demonstrating masseter muscle hyperactivity in response to experimental stressors, such as painful or frustrating stimuli. Many believe the link between stress and increased masseter muscle pain is parafunctional oral habits, including teeth clenching, grinding, and lip biting. Habit reversal has been used effectively to treat parafunctional oral behaviors and facial …

Transfection Of Human Macrophages By Lipoplexes Via The Combined Use Of Transferrin And Ph-Sensitive Peptides, Sérgio Simões, Vladimir Slepushkin, Elizabeth Pretzer, Paul Dazin, Rogério Gaspar, Maria C. Pedroso De Lima, Nejat Düzgüneş

All Dugoni School of Dentistry Faculty Articles

The crucial function of macrophages in a variety of biological processes and pathologies render these cells important targets for gene therapeutic interventions. Commonly used synthetic gene delivery vectors have not been successful in transfecting these non-dividing cells. A combination strategy involving cationic liposomes to condense and carry DNA, transferrin to facilitate cellular uptake, and the pH-sensitive peptide GALA to promote endosome destabilization, resulted in significant expression of a luciferase gene. Transfection of macrophages was dependent on the degree of differentiation of the cells. The quaternary complexes of cationic liposomes, DNA, transferrin, and GALA exhibited a net negative charge, which may …
