For literary performance presentations, I will be performing an excerpt from theVagina Monologues called “My Vagina Was My Village.” This monologue piece is about a Bohemian woman representing all the Bohemian women who were allowed to be sexually assaulted, or raped by the enemy soldiers as a tactic of war.

Introspective Narcissist, Alaina Siminovsky

Undergraduate Student Symposium

Through the heavy use of descriptions this story traces the internal conflict of a concerned protagonist. Self-discovery and realization are themes throughout. Attempted withdrawal from society and the creation of a self pariah based on sever disillusionment strike the antagonist and the protagonist expressed concern. Resolution occurs in an unexpected fashion at the story’s close.

Depth Of A Darkened Soul, Earl Tinsley

Undergraduate Student Symposium

This poetic piece describes the feelings and actions associated with one of the most challenging emotions in any human beings’ life - loneliness. This selection goes into great detail about the epicenter of the author’s loneliness and how it takes the joy out of commitments that are otherwise maintained to occupy time not spent wallowing in their own self despair. It also explains how this feeling of loneliness takes over your overall demeanor, distorting your eyes, your voice, your mind and your very soul. Like the selection reads, “Loneliness is a reality that grows and increases with age.” In fact, …

“They Say That This Clinic Is For Migrants”: Cultural Sensitivity In A Rural Health Center, Nadine I. Ohlinger

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

The growing number of minority populations living in the United States makes it mandatory that all health care organizations seek to be culturally sensitive. There is no consensus on the definition of the term cultural sensitivity. The goal of this thesis is to define what cultural sensitivity means in a rural health center, from the perspective of the staff as well as the Hispanic patient. Anthropological methods, such as participant observation, semi-structured interviews, and archival data analysis, show that the qualities that Hispanic patients value in a clinic are 1) attention, 2) availability of Spanish language, 3) financial assistance, 4) …

Association Between Area Socioeconomic Status And Hospital Admissions For Childhood And Adult Asthma, Tomas Tamulis

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Despite an improved understanding of the disease, the prevalence of asthma and asthma-related morbidity continue to rise, particularly among minority and inner-city populations. Despite the growing epidemic of asthma, the surveillance of disease at the state or even local levels is very limited. Such information is very important to identify high-risk population groups and to design more effective community-based preventive interventions or risk management programs that may modify these trends.

The study provided important information about spatial differences by the geographical area of residence and changes in asthma hospital admissions over time in the selected area. Environmental exposure to ambient …

Proopiomelanocortin Neurons In Nucleus Tractus Solitarius Are Activated By Visceral Afferents: Regulation By Cholecystokinin And Opioids, Suzanne M. Appleyard, Timothy W. Bailey, Mark W. Doyle, Young-Ho Jin, James L. Smart, Malcolm J. Low, Michael C. Andresen

Faculty Publications - Department of Biological & Molecular Science

The nucleustractus solitarius (NTS) receives dense terminations from cranial visceral afferents, including those from the gastrointestinal (GI) system. Although the NTS integrates peripheral satiety signals and relays this signal to central feeding centers, little is known about which NTS neurons are involved or what mechanisms are responsible. Proopiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons are good candidates for GI integration, because disruption of the POMC gene leads to severe obesity and hyperphagia. Here, we used POMC– enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) transgenic mice to identify NTS POMC neurons. Intraperitoneal administration of cholecystokinin (CCK) induced c-fos gene expression in NTS POMC–EGFP neurons, suggesting that they …

More Than Man’S Best Friend: A Look At Attachment Between Humans And Their Canine Companions, Samantha E. Kennedy

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, there are currently more than 60 million pet dogs in the United States. This is an increase of nearly eighteen percent since 1991, coinciding with a growing area of research on human’s relationships with companion animals and companion animals’ place in society.

For years dogs have been thought of as “man’s best friend” because of their loyalty and faithfulness. The increasing popularity of activities such as canine daycare and puppy school suggests that dogs have become more than a best friend to some and even an integral part of the American family unit. …

Comparison Of Hatching Failure In A Wildland And Suburban Population Of The Florida Scrub-Jay (Aphelocoma Coerulescens), Sonya Christine Leclair

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Egg hatchability has been correlated with many factors, including clutch size, presence of helpers, timing of breeding and predation risk. Hatching failure is higher in a suburban population of Florida Scrub-Jays than in a wildland population, but the reasons for this pattern are unclear. An analysis of long-term demographic data on scrub-jays in both habitats revealed the factors that best explained variation in hatching failure, and an experiment tested whether two potential site factors, ambient temperature and predation risk, could increase hatching failure in the suburbs.

Although a global model was best supported by the data for occurrence of partial …
