Meditations In The Mirror: A Return To The Undetermined Animal, Annie Lynn Smalley

Stony Brook Theses and Dissertations Collection, 2006-2020 (closed to submissions)

My aim is to try and discover what it would mean to see from an animal perspective, which is the animal perspective that I once had before my training and the animal perspective buried deep within me waiting to return. Since this animal perspective is weakened by the process of domestication (it is starved), I am very much interested in discovering what it is, what it would be to perceive as an animal, what possibilities does this potentiality have to offer and whether this is the animal that always should have evolved. The animal within can only respond to these …

Magnetically Anchored "Reduced Trocar" Laparoscopy: Evolution Of Surgical Robotics, Richard Bergs

Bioengineering Theses - Archive

Laparoscopic surgery has become increasingly popular over the last few years due to its benefits; lower morbidity, less perceived pain, better cosmesis results, and less hospital time. For the surgeon however, there are fundamental issues that can make a laparoscopic procedure more difficult than simple open surgery; loss of tactile feel, limited working envelope, high demand for hand-eye coordination, and one trocar-port required for each tool. A revolutionary concept of using magnetics to support tooling across the abdominal wall was conceived by Dr. Jeffrey Cadeddu and his colleagues at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center. Collectively referred to as …

Missouri Elementary Teacher Certification Programs And The Education Provided On How Boys And Girls Learn Differently, Elizabeth Anne Cooper

Dissertations

Teacher education programs, professional development, and higher education should provide educators with the information needed to address the ways that boys and girls learn differently. This mixed-methods study discovered the amount of education provided to teachers during their Teacher Education Programs in regards to how girls and boys learn. This study focused on a purposeful sample of five school districts within a chosen region in Missouri. Data were collected from elementary schools within these districts in the fall of 2008. The subjects included a purposeful sample of elementary teachers throughout these districts. In addition, twelve elementary teachers within this region …

Implication Of Tissue Response To Ischemia Gradient In Rabbit Ear On Chronic Wound Healing., Abhijit Prakash Mahalingashetty 1985-

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Ventral ear skin of the rabbit is a commonly used model for wound/ulcer studies; however the gradient effects of vascular ligation on epidermal stability has not been reported. In this study ischemic effects were studied after ligation of the central feeding vessel in one ear, while the other ear served as control. Three or six days later 9 full-thickness skin circular punches (6 mm, numbered 1-9) were removed from both ears, equidistant from each other with a proximal-distal and medial-lateral orientation. Samples were prepared for light microscopy and immunohistochemistry examinations. Quantitative analysis showed that normal and ischemic tissue differ minimally …

In The Wor(L)D But Not Of It : Literacy Practices Of An Amish Community In Southeast Ohio., Tabetha Adkins

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Following in the tradition of scholars who treat literacy in context such as Deborah Brandt, Shirley Brice Heath, and David Barton and Mary Hamilton, I conducted my dissertation research not in an academic classroom but in the valleys of Hanley, a (pseudonym for a) town in southern Ohio, where I visited Amish homes, farms, and businesses. Using Brandt's model in Literacy in American Lives , I interviewed 25 Amish men, women, and children to study the uses of literacy in school, church, work, and daily life. I also attended community events such as an auction and a wedding to observe …

The Exploration Of Color Theory In Museum Education Using Works Found In The J. B. Speed Museum's Collection., Jonathan Ratliff 1986-

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Color is an important part of art and life, which can be utilized by the museum educator to engage visitors with the art. For the museum educator, development of appropriate programs and activities to meet the needs of their audience is a central component of their responsibilities; therefore employment of important characteristics of art, such as color, to accomplish these goals is important. To demonstrate how an educator can utilize color, I have developed a tour using the Speed Art Museum's collection. Although it is written specifically for one collection, the ideas can be translated to other institutions. Since school …

Proactive Strategies For Children With Food Refusal., Sara E. Langlois 1981-

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Feeding disorders occur when a child rejects significant amounts of food or drink. Food refusals are maintained by factors which may be behavioral based, due to structural impairments, or a combination of the two. One of the first steps to increasing a child's diet is having them try novel or previously rejected food items. The current study includes 5 case studies of behavioral based food refusals in children and applies the use of a step by step desensitization procedure as a form of proactive intervention to increase the likelihood a bite of non-preferred food will be accepted. Results of the …

Viewing The World Through Oprah's Eyes: A Framing Analysis Of The Spiritual Views Of Oprah Winfrey, Marianne Jeanette Crosby

Masters Theses

Oprah Winfrey is an American icon. She has a hand in almost every form of media: movies, television, books, Internet, and radio. In her rise to success, another place that she has infiltrated is the church. Because of her wide range of influence, her thoughts and teaching on spirituality have made their way into both the home and church. Over ten years ago, talk shows had a reputation for portraying mainly negative topics. To combat this stereotype, she made a push to encourage more positive topics of discussion on her show. Yet after receiving criticism for "preaching," she withdrew from …

Altered Dendritic Cell Phenotype In Response To Leishmania Amazonensis Amastigote Infection Is Mediated By Map Kinase, Erk, Paola Mercedes Boggiatto, Fei Jie, Mousumi Ghosh, Katherine N. Gibson-Corley, Amanda E. Ramer-Tait, Douglas E. Jones, Christine A. Petersen

Amanda Ramer-Tait Publications

Initiation of productive immune responses against Leishmania depends on the successful transition of dendritic cells (DC) from an immature to a mature phenotype. This process is characterized by high CD₄₀ surface expression as well as interleukin-12 production, which are frequently seen in response to L. major infection. In vivo footpad infection of C₃HeB/FeJ mice for 7 days with L. amazonensis promoted an immature CD11c[1] DC phenotype characterized by both significantly low CD₄₀ surface expression and significantly decreased interleukin-12p40 production compared with L. major infection of these same mice. In vitro infection of bone marrow-derived dendritic cells …
