The Influence Of Oxytocin On Adipose Tissue, Inflammation And Atherosclerosis, Maria Agustina Rossetti Dec 2011

The Influence Of Oxytocin On Adipose Tissue, Inflammation And Atherosclerosis, Maria Agustina Rossetti

Open Access Theses

Purpose: The present study investigates the potential anti-inflammatory effects of in vivo oxytocin (OT) infusion on adipose tissue inflammation in the Watanabe Heritable Hyperlipidimic Rabbits (WHHL). Methods: Twenty-eight 3-month-old WHHL were surgically implanted with osmotic minipumps containing OT (n = 14, infusion rate 250 ng/kg/hr) or vehicle (n = 14). Blood samples were taken at baseline, midpoint, and endpoint for lipids and C-reactive protein (CRP). After 16 weeks, animals were sacrificed and samples of adipose tissue (epididiymal, retroperitoneal, mesenteric, pericardial, and subcutanous) were collected and analyzed for pro-inflammatory cytokine (IL-6, TNF-α, and MCP-1) and anti- inflammatory adipokine (adiponectin and IL-10) …

The Legacy Of Crossdressing In Tanci: A Histoire Of Heroic Women And Men, Li Guo Dec 2011

The Legacy Of Crossdressing In Tanci: A Histoire Of Heroic Women And Men, Li Guo

Languages, Philosophy, and Communication Studies Faculty Publications

This essay studies a tanci work, A Histoire of Heroic Women and Men (1905), as a case which reflects the intersecting themes of crossdressing, gender representation and the literary form of tanci. Written tanci, appropriated and redeveloped by educated women to tell stories of female crossdressers, scholars, and military leaders, offers a meaningful intervention in the dominant social and cultural discourses of womanhood in late imperial China. In the fictional realm, women’s acts of crossdressing transcend the Confucian ideological prescriptions of feminine identity, displaying their heroic efforts to pursue autonomy in a patriarchal culture. This essay will analyze how these …

Care Of Self: How Reiki Is Used By Nurses To Reduce Stress On An Acute Care Unit, Leann Olson Dec 2011

Care Of Self: How Reiki Is Used By Nurses To Reduce Stress On An Acute Care Unit, Leann Olson

Theses and Graduate Projects

As the nursing shortage escalates and patient acuity levels continue to rise, nurses can expect to experience increased stress and burnout. Indeed, studies show that job dissatisfaction among nurses today is widespread. Finding ways to reduce the stress, improve job satisfaction, and retention is important not only for nurses, nursing units, and organizations, but also for patients. This paper describes a nursing practice model that was developed to reduce stress and burnout among nurses in an acute care unit of a large urban hospital. The model uses the energy therapy of Reiki and is guided by Martha Rogers' Science of …

The intensive care unit (ICU) can be a very stressful environment. Patients are critically ill and require constant monitoring. Indeed, high tech care in the ICU environment includes multiple factors that may impair the patient's ability to sleep and rest. The purpose of this paper is to describe a practice model that is conducive to patient healing in an intensive care unit in a large urban hospital. This practice model is significant to patients, families, and nursing staff and is based on Florence Nightingale's Environmental Model of Nursing and her thirteen canons. This paper describes the potential implementation of the …


Integration Of Upqc For Power Quality Improvement In Distributed Generation Network – A Review, Shafiuzzaman Khan Khadem, Malabika Basu, Michael Conlon Dec 2011

Integration Of Upqc For Power Quality Improvement In Distributed Generation Network – A Review, Shafiuzzaman Khan Khadem, Malabika Basu, Michael Conlon

Conference Papers

In this paper a technical review of the integration of a Unified Power Quality Conditioner (UPQC) in a distributed generation network is presented. Although the primary task of UPQC is to minimize grid voltage and load current disturbances along with reactive and harmonic power compensation, additional functionalities such as compensation of voltage interruption and active power transfer to the load and grid have also been identified. Connection methodologies with their advantages and disadvantages are also described. Recent improvements in capacity expansion techniques and future trends for the application of UPQC in distributed modes are also identified.

Tunnel Vision: “Invisible” Highways And Boston’S “Big Dig” In The Age Of Privatization, Michael R. Fein Dec 2011

Tunnel Vision: “Invisible” Highways And Boston’S “Big Dig” In The Age Of Privatization, Michael R. Fein

Humanities Department Faculty Publications & Research

While most analyses of late-twentieth-century highway policy suggest a shift toward open system design, bottom-up federalism, and the devolution of transportation governance, the history of Boston’s Central Artery/Tunnel project, informally known as the “Big Dig,” runs counter to this trend. Though the project emerged in the 1970s during a time of unprecedented citizen activism in transportation planning, ultimately the privatization of political power proved to be the Big Dig’s most important legacy for twenty-first-century urban highway projects.

Revisiting "Hapworth": The Catharsis Of Buddy Glass, Brian Mctague Dec 2011

Revisiting "Hapworth": The Catharsis Of Buddy Glass, Brian Mctague

Theses and Dissertations

J.D. Salinger's "Hapworth 16, 1924," his last published work, is notorious for the initial critical silence it received, as well as the subsequent general consensus that it was a text to revile if not avoid. This thesis proposes that while "Hapworth" is a difficult and perplexing piece, there is a good deal about it that deserves if not outright praise, then a close critical re-examination. Assuming the "author" of the story is not the seven-year-old version of "A Perfect Day for Bananafish" suicide Seymour Glass, as the story purports, but his grieving younger brother Buddy, who has spent the years …

Journal of Youth Development

The Tooele City 4-H Youth Garden program was designed to provide a non-traditional recreational activity for a growing youth population.

Club meetings cover basic gardening principles and specific issues related to individual garden plots. …


Adaptive Physical Education And Aquatics For Students With Disabilities: A Teacher's Unique Experience, Jennifer Cheryl Blassingame Dec 2011

Adaptive Physical Education And Aquatics For Students With Disabilities: A Teacher's Unique Experience, Jennifer Cheryl Blassingame

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

Students with the most severe disabilities have special needs that cannot be addressed with general education curriculum modifications in a traditional prekindergarten-12th grade environment (Heward, 2006). It is essential that expert teachers with specialized educational background and training are prepared to adapt daily lessons to accommodate all students. Thus, the purpose of this autoethnographic research was to study the personal and professional life experiences of an expert teacher that led to integrating physical education, sensory integration, and assistive technology into a unique pedagogical approach to teach students with multiple disabilities. This approach allowed these students to be as productive as …

Devastated Utopias, Or How To Leave A Legacy: Communist Art & Personality Cults In 20th Century Russia, China And Cambodia, Natalie Ruth Koho Dec 2011

Devastated Utopias, Or How To Leave A Legacy: Communist Art & Personality Cults In 20th Century Russia, China And Cambodia, Natalie Ruth Koho

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

The rise of Marxist regimes altered the stylistic course and purpose of art. Although a new style, Socialist Realism, was formed to reflect communism's visual intentions, this style borrowed and adapted older artistic traditions to increase the reception and understanding of new communist ideologies. The artistic blend of old and new also reflected a trend within communist leadership; Stalin and Mao particularly came to resemble powerful monarchs of the previous imperial eras. Although greatly influenced by Maoist thought, the Khmer Rouge communist regime contrasts both the Chinese and Soviet model by producing an extremely low amount of art and shrouding …
