The Anchor: 2012

The Anchor began in 1887 and was first issued weekly in 1914. Covering national and campus news alike, Hope College’s student-run newspaper has grown over the years to encompass over two-dozen editors, reporters, and staff. For much of The Anchor's history, the latest issue was distributed across campus each Wednesday throughout the academic school year (with few exceptions). In recent years The Anchor moved to monthly print issues and a more frequently updated website. The Anchor is now published in print twice per academic semester. Occasionally, the volume and/or issue numbering is irregular.

The Relationship Between Ethnic Identity And Chlamydia And Gonorrhea Infections Among Low-Income Detained African American Adolescent Females, Dexter R. Voisin

Faculty Scholarship

This study explored the relationship between ethnic identity and Chlamydia and Gonorrhea infections among detained African American female adolescents. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 123 African American female adolescents within eight detention facilities in Georgia. Using audio-computer assisted self-interviewing technology, data were collected on demographics, ethnic identity, laboratory-confirmed Chlamydia and Gonorrhea, and other known correlates for sexually transmitted infections (STIs), such as socioeconomic status, parental monitoring, and risky sexual behaviors. Rates of Chlamydia and Gonorrhea testing yielded incidence rates of 22.6% and 4.3%, respectively. Findings indicated that, controlling for STI correlates, participants who indicated high ethnic identity were 4.3 …

In Utero Exposures, Infant Growth, And Dna Methylation Of Repetitive Elements And Developmentally Related Genes In Human Placenta, Charlotte S. Wilhelm-Benartzi, E. Andres Houseman, Matthew A. Maccani, Graham M. Poage, Devin C. Koestler, Scott M. Langevin, Luc A. Gagne, Carolyn E. Banister, James F. Padbury, Carmen J. Marsit

Dartmouth Scholarship

BACKGROUND:

Fetal programming describes the theory linking environmental conditions during embryonic and fetal development with risk of diseases later in life. Environmental insults in utero may lead to changes in epigenetic mechanisms potentially affecting fetal development.

OBJECTIVES:

We examined associations between in utero exposures, infant growth, and methylation of repetitive elements and gene-associated DNA in human term placenta tissue samples.

METHODS:

Placental tissues and associated demographic and clinical data were obtained from subjects delivering at Women and Infants Hospital in Providence, Rhode Island (USA). Methylation levels of long interspersed nuclear element-1 (LINE-1) and the Alu element AluYb8 were determined in …

Kids Count Alaska 2011-2012, Virgene Hanna, Irena Ikatova, Patricia Deroche, Kent Spiers, Darla Silver, Lily Sloth, Erin Johnson

ISER Reports

Kids Count Alaska is part of a nationwide program, sponsored by the Annie E. Casey Foundation, to collect and publicize information about children’s health, safety, education, and economic status. We gather information from many sources and present it in one place, trying to give Alaskans a broad picture of how the state’s children are doing and provide parents, policymakers, and others with information they need to improve life for children and families. Our goals are: • Distributing information about the status of Alaska’s children • Creating an informed public, motivated to help children • Comparing the status of children in …

Second-To-Fourth Digit Ratio And Impulsivity: A Comparison Between Offenders And Nonoffenders, Y Hanoch, M Gummerum, J Rolison

School of Psychology

Personality characteristics, particularly impulsive tendencies, have long been conceived as the primary culprit in delinquent behavior. One crucial question to emerge from this line of work is whether impulsivity has a biological basis. To test this possibility, 44 male offenders and 46 nonoffenders completed the Eysenck Impulsivity Questionnaire, and had their 2D∶4D ratio measured. Offenders exhibited smaller right hand digit ratio measurements compared to non-offenders, but higher impulsivity scores. Both impulsivity and 2D∶4D ratio measurements significantly predicted criminality (offenders vs. nonoffenders). Controlling for education level, the 2D∶4D ratio measurements had remained a significant predictor of criminality, while impulsivity scores no …

Naturally Selecting Solutions: The Use Of Genetic Algorithms In Bioinformatics, Timmy Manning, Roy D. Sleator, Paul Walsh

Department of Biological Sciences Publications

For decades, computer scientists have looked to nature for biologically inspired solutions to computational problems; ranging from robotic control to scheduling optimization. Paradoxically, as we move deeper into the post-genomics era, the reverse is occurring, as biologists and bioinformaticians look to computational techniques, to solve a variety of biological problems. One of the most common biologically inspired techniques are genetic algorithms (GAs), which take the Darwinian concept of natural selection as the driving force behind systems for solving real world problems, including those in the bioinformatics domain. Herein, we provide an overview of genetic algorithms and survey some of the …

Care For The Socially Disadvantaged: The Role Of Race And Gender On The Physician-Patient Relationship And Patient Outcomes In A Safety Net Primary Care Clinic., Daniel Baughn

Theses and Dissertations

Compared to the general population, socially disadvantaged patients have higher rates of chronic illness and require more complex medical care. They also endorse higher levels of psychological distress and tend to engage in behavioral risk factors such as poor diet, physical inactivity, and smoking. These issues are particularly concerning given that this population tends to adhere less to medical recommendations, has limited access to health resources, and receives poorer treatment from providers. In an effort to address this disparity, The Affordable Care Act will expand health care access to an additional 23 million uninsured and 17 million underinsured Americans. However, …

香港短篇小說的精神疾病書寫 (1990-2010), Pui Ting Tsang

Lingnan Theses

自古至今，疾病是文學反覆吟誦的母題。香港文學發展至今，以精神疾病作為敘事對象的作品不勝枚舉。九十年代以後的精神疾病書寫，更呈現一種眾聲喧嘩（Hetroglossia）的狀態。

疾病作為時代苦悶的象徵，是展示社會面貌及人文精神的重要表述符號， 因而在文學的主題表現上有舉足輕重的地位。精神疾病的敘事更以心靈為文本，逼視個人或社會的病態。審視兩岸三地文學發展的脈絡，在現代主義的熱潮薰陶，及社會動盪的政局與經濟發展下，精神疾病書寫的文學形式便應運而生。作家為精神疾病披上藝術的外衣，形塑扭曲的人文及都市的多維面貌，為小說提供種種歧義的解讀，增加作品闡釋的空間與美學價值。可惜到目前為止， 香港文學對精神疾病敘事的研究並不足夠。

因此，本論文以1990-2010 年間發表及出版，並以精神疾病為敘事主題的香港短篇小說作為研究對象， 結合精神病學的醫學研究成果及敘事學 （Narratology）的相關論述，以精神疾病的敘事作用作為研究框架，從「個人」 和「社會」兩個層面為切入點，分析精神疾病之於文學主題的敘事作用。最後， 探討作家如何透過（集體）書寫精神疾病，反映出香港九十年代至今的時代性， 及形塑出香港都市支離破碎、浮動而不穩定的形象，從而肯定精神疾病書寫對於香港文學的價值。

The Impact Of Water On Girls' Formal Education: A Study Of Kenyan Secondary Schools, Jennifer Emick

Master's Theses

This study applies a human rights lens to view how the lack of access to potable water in Kenya’s rural areas impacts girls’ education. This research is intended to serve as a baseline for iteration and expansion, with the long-term goal of developing a greater understanding of the ways in which water development projects and the smarter provision of basic resources can be used as strategies for achieving gender equality in both education and civic participation.
