Development And Validation Of Transtheorectical Measure For College Student Spiritual Expression, John A. Ward

Open Access Dissertations

The study of the use of religious techniques in counseling and religious/spiritual expression has gained increased attention in research literature over the last 15-20 years. Psychologists are becoming increasingly accepting of the role of religious techniques in counseling and the role of religious/spiritual expression in human development. However, most agree that the research base needs to be more inclusive and expanded. When religion is the focus of investigation in college student populations, most attention is focused on religious beliefs and practices, and changes in beliefs over the course of the college experience.

Three secondary data analysis studies were conducted to provide methodological and theoretical examples of the application of Latent Transition Analysis (LTA) to three studies of smoking cessation among adults.

Effects Of The Pesticides Atrazine, Metoachlor And Diazinon And Binary Mixtures On Proliferation Of Human Fibroblasts, Kavita R. Dhanwada, Yijun Deng, Maureen E. Clayton

International Journal of Global Health

The frequent and heavy use of pesticides in agriculture has led to the contamination of surface and ground waters worldwide. Many questions have arisen about the human health effects of exposure to these pesticides and their mixtures. Most of the information about the adverse human health effects due to environmental contaminants comes from studies that focus on exposure to single rather than multiple contaminants since many of the environmental regulations regarding levels of xenobiotic contamination refer only to individual compounds. In this study, MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide) cell proliferation assays were performed with normal human fibroblasts to test the toxicity …

Late Holocene Hydrologic And Climatic Variability In The Walker Lake Basin, Nevada And California, Fasong Yuan

Geology Theses and Dissertations

Oxygen and carbon isotopic measurements of the total inorganic carbon (TIC) fraction of sediments from Walker Lake (Nevada, USA) were completed at a decadal-scale resolution spanning the last ∼3000 years. On the basis of radiocarbon dating of the total organic fraction of cored sediments, the late Holocene isotope record recorded a relatively dry climate in Period LH-1 (1000 BC to AD 800), a relatively wet climate punctuated by a few severe droughts in Period LH-2 (AD 800 to 1900), and an anthropogenical perturbation era (L14-h: 1900–2000). Relative high accumulation rates in Period LH-2 (AD 800 to 1900) provided detailed information …
