Children Living In Poverty, Katie E. Long

Graduate Research Papers

Although many books and articles have been written regarding poverty and its effects among children, there is an increasing need for school counselors to provide programs and support to empower children of poverty. Research indicates that poverty is increasing among Americans (Payne, 2003). Nutrition and health are a major concern among families of poverty, and approximately thirteen million children experience hunger on a daily basis (Prince & Howard, 2002).

Children who have not met their basic needs come to school with a different agenda: survival. Although health is itself an outcome, it can also be viewed as a pathway by …

The Reliability And Validity Of Two Ambulatory Monitoring Actigraphs, Warren W. Tryon

Psychology Faculty Publications

Evidence for the reliability and validity of two models of Ambulatory Monitoring, Inc. actigraphs was obtained by testing four instruments of each kind 10 times each on a precision pendulum. Correlation and coefficient of variation methods were used to analyze the data. Reliability coefficients of .98 were obtained for both models. Coefficient of variation methods yielded reliability coefficients of 92% for the MotionLogger model and 97% for the BuzzBee model. Validity coefficients of .99 were obtained for both models. However, MotionLogger means were found to differ by up to 36% from one instrument to another, whereas BuzzBee means differed by …

Effects Of Supplementation Of Whole Corn Germ On Reproductive Performance, Calf Performance, And Leptin Concentration In Primiparous And Mature Beef Cows, J. L. Martin, Richard J. Rasby, Dennis R. Brink, R. U. Lindquist, D. H. Keisler, Stephen D. Kachman

Department of Statistics: Faculty Publications

A 2-yr study using primiparous and multiparous, spring-calving, crossbred beef cows was conducted to evaluate the effects of supplemental whole corn germ on reproductive performance, calf performance, and serum leptin concentrations. Each year, cows were blocked by age and BCS and assigned randomly to one of three treatments: PRE (n = 115) cows received 1.14 kg/d (DM basis) of whole corn germ for approximately 45 d before calving; POST (n = 109) cows were fed 1.14 kg/d of whole corn germ for approximately 45 d after calving; and control cows (n = 118) were fed similar energy and protein from …

Plasma Clearance Of Lovastatin Versus Chinese Red Yeast Rice In Healthy Volunteers, Zhaoping Li, Navindra P. Seeram, Rupo Lee, Gail Thames, Chayo Minutti, He-Jing Wang, David Heber

Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Sciences Faculty Publications

Objectives: It is now accepted that inhibition of cholesterol biosynthesis is effective in the primary and secondary prevention of heart disease. However, the perceived side-effects on muscle and liver reduce the general acceptance of statin drug therapy as well as compliance over the long term, which is necessary for prevention efforts to be successful. Chinese red yeast rice (CRYR) is a supplement containing lovastatin (monacolin K), eight other monacolins, pigments, tannins, and other phytochemicals. The authors previously reported on a double- blind placebo-controlled trial of CRYR supplement in 80 individuals demonstrating a significant decrease in cholesterol levels from 250 mg/dL …

Eating Disorders In School-Aged Children, Terri Darden, Kelly Hedrick

Perspectives In Learning

The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition Text Revision (DSM-IVTR) lists criteria for anorexia nervosa that include refusing to maintain a normal body weight, weighing 85% below normal. Postmenarcheal females can be amenorrheic, having the absence of at least three consecutive menstrual cycles. Individuals diagnosed with this disorder have a fear of gaining weight or becoming fat. The DSM-IV- TR reports that 90% of anorexia nervosa cases occur in females (DSM-IV- TR, 2005). Research shows that at some time during their adolescence around half of high school and college age girls and 10% of boys will develop …

Mouse Intestine Selects Nonmotile Flhdc Mutants Of Escherichia Coli Mg1655 With Increased Colonizing Ability And Better Utilization Of Carbon Sources, Mary P. Leatham, Sarah J. Stevenson, Eric J. Gauger, Karen A. Krogfelt, Jeremy J. Lins, Traci L. Haddock, Steven M. Audtieri, Tyrrell Conway, Paul S. Cohen

Cell and Molecular Biology Faculty Publications

d-Gluconate which is primarily catabolized via the Entner-Doudoroff (ED) pathway, has been implicated as being important for colonization of the streptomycin-treated mouse large intestine by Escherichia coli MG1655, a human commensal strain. In the present study, we report that an MG1655 Δedd mutant defective in the ED pathway grows poorly not only on gluconate as a sole carbon source but on a number of other sugars previously implicated as being important for colonization, including l-fucose, d-gluconate, d-glucuronate, N-acetyl-d-glucosamine, d-mannose, and d-ribose. Furthermore, we show that the mouse intestine selects mutants of MG1655 Δedd and wild-type MG1655 that …

Consumer Opinions On Genetically Modified Food: A Community Discussion August 2005

University of Nebraska Public Policy Center: Publications

On Saturday, August 20, 2005, 48 residents of Lancaster County gathered at Gere Branch Library in Lincoln to participate in a “Citizen Deliberation on Genetically Modified Food.” A citizen deliberation is a technique used to promote informed and thoughtful public discussion on public affairs or policy issues and a means for gauging considered (as opposed to off-the-cuff) public opinions. The purpose of the discussion was to gauge informed public opinion on genetically modified food products and whether they should be labeled. The event was co-sponsored by the University of Nebraska Public Policy Center (http://www.ppc.nebraska.edu/edu/) and a local community leadership development …

Weight Loss Practices In Amateur Wrestlers And Its Relationship To Disordered Eating, Lyndsey M. Manderfield

Graduate Research Papers

The premise behind many athletic programs is to encourage wellness, a state of well being in both physical and emotional aspects. This research paper reviews how wrestling and other athletic programs where weight plays a significant role, may affect eating and other weight-related habits. It addresses whether weight loss practices in wrestling play a role in disordered eating patterns of its participants.

Perspectives For Artificial Insemination And Genomics To Improve Global Swine Populations, Roger J. Gerrits, Joan K. Lunney, Lawrence A. Johnson, Vernon G. Pursel, Robert R. Kraeling, Gary A. Rohrer, John R. Dobrinsky

Roman L. Hruska U.S. Meat Animal Research Center: Reports

Civilizations throughout the world continue to depend on pig meat as an important food source. Approximately 40% of the red meat consumed annually worldwide (94 million metric tons) is pig meat. Pig numbers (940 million) and consumption have increased consistent with the increasing world population (FAO 2002). In the past 50 years, research guided genetic selection and nutrition programs have had a major impact on improving carcass composition and efficiency of production in swine. The use of artificial insemination (AI) in Europe has also had a major impact on pig improvement in the past 35 years and more recently in …

Analyses Of Thermoregulatory Responses Of Feeder Cattle Exposed To Simulated Heat Waves, T. M. Brown-Brandl, R. A. Eigenberg, G. L. Hahn, J. A. Nienaber, T. L. Mader, D. E. Spiers, A. M. Parkhurst

Roman L. Hruska U.S. Meat Animal Research Center: Reports

Heat stress in feedlot cattle causes reduced performance, and in the most severe cases, death of the animals, thus causing the loss of millions of dollars in revenue to the cattle industry. A study was designed to evaluate dynamics of thermoregulation and feeding activities when feeder cattle were exposed to simulated heat waves, in comparison with repeated sinusoidal hot and thermoneutral environments. Nine beef steers were randomly assigned to an individual pen in one of three environmental chambers. Each chamber was subjected to each of three temperature regimes (Heatwave simulation from Rockport, Mo., 1995, Heatwave simulation from Columbia, Mo., 1999, …
