Comprehensive Management Of Presbycusis: Central And Peripheral, Kourosh Parham

Articles - Patient Care

The prevailing otolaryngologic approach to treatment of age-related hearing loss (ARHL), presbycusis, emphasizes compensation of peripheral functional deficits (i.e., hearing aids and cochlear implants). This approach does not address adequately the needs of the geriatric population, one in five of whom is expected to consist of the “old old” in the coming decades. Aging affects both the peripheral and central auditory systems, and disorders of executive function become more prevalent with advancing age. Growing evidence supports an association between age-related hearing loss and cognitive decline. Thus, to facilitate optimal functional capacity in our geriatric patients, a more comprehensive management strategy …

Wealth, Success, And Personhood: Trajectories Of Labour Migration From Mwinilunga District, 1930s-1970s, Iva Peša

Zambia Social Science Journal

What were the causes and consequences of labour migration from Mwinilunga District between the 1930s and 1970s? Within Zambian historiography, economic and political aspects of labour migration have received much attention. Labour migration has been analysed within dichotomies of rural-urban, development-underdevelopment or tradition-modernity. Instead, this article proposes to bridge such dichotomies and to foreground the socio-cultural dispositions behind labour migration. If mobility is viewed as a social, rather than a geographical practice, connections and long-term continuities come to light. Through the case of Mwinilunga District the causes, motives and effects of labour migration will be examined. Why did individuals decide …

Ecocity Mapping Using Gis: Introducing A Planning Method For Assessing And Improving Neighborhood Vitality, Richard J. Smith, Kristin Miller

Social Work Faculty Publications

Background: Assessing neighborhood vitality is important to understand how to improve quality of life and health outcomes. The ecocity model recognizes that cities are part of natural systems and favors walkable neighborhoods. This article introduces ecocity mapping, an innovative planning method, to the public health literature on community engagement by describing a pilot project with a new affordable housing development in Oakland, California between 2007 and 2009. While ecocity mapping began as a paper technology, advances in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) moved it forward.

Objectives: This article describes how Ecocity Builders used GIS to conduct ecocity mapping to: …

Environmental Temperature And Exercise-Induced Blood Oxidative Stress, John C. Quindry, Lindsey Miller, Graham Mcginnis, Brian Kliszczewiscz, Dustin R. Slivka, Charles Dumke, John S. Cuddy, Brent Ruby

Integrative Physiology and Athletic Training Faculty Publications

Previous research findings indicate that environmental temperature can influence exercise-induced oxidativestress responses, although the response to variable temperatures is unknown. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of warm, cold, and “neutral,” or room, environmental temperatures on the blood oxidative stress associated with exercise and recovery. Participants (N = 12, age 27 ± 5 yr, VO_2max = 56.7 ± 5.8 ml · kg^–1 · min^–1, maximal cycle power output = 300 ± 39 W) completed 3 exercise sessions consisting of a 1-hr ride at 60% W_max, at 40% relative humidity …

Do Sufficient Recreational Programs For Disabled Children Exist In Monroe And Ontario Counties?, Lauren A. Bauerlein

Sport Management Undergraduate

We live in a country where people, including the handicapped are guaranteed many rights and freedoms. The Americans with Disabilities Act (1990) ensures that equal opportunities are provided to people with disabilities. There is a large percentage of children in the United States with disabilities. These mental or physical disabilities impair their major life activities. Research shows that both formal and informal activities have proven to be beneficial to children with disabilities. The purpose of Parks and Recreation Departments is to provide physical and non-physical activities to people in the community. A survey of Directors of Parks and Recreation departments …

Development Of Integrated Management Practices For The Control Of Chinese Tallow (Triadica Sebifera), Lauren S. Pile, G. Geoff Wang, Patricia A. Layton

Graduate Research and Discovery Symposium (GRADS)

Chinese tallow (Triadica sebifera) tree is an aggressive, fast growing, highly adaptable invasive tree of the southeastern United States coastal region. Our study is located on Parris Island Marine Corps Recruit Depot (MCRD) in Beaufort County, South Carolina. Parris Island MCRD. Chinese tallow has been managed on Parris Island MCRD since 2001through the use of herbicides primarily with ‘hack and squirt’ methodology. In 2010, invasive species presence and abundance on Parris Island MCRD was surveyed in order to monitor the Chinese tallow population and to assess the effectiveness of previous control efforts. Results from this survey suggest there is a …

Group Testing Models With Unknown Link Function, Dewei Wang, Karunarathna B. Kulasekera, Colin M. Gallagher, Christopher S. Mcmahan

Graduate Research and Discovery Symposium (GRADS)

Group testing through the use of pooling has proven to be an efficient method of reducing the time and cost associated with screening for a binary characteristic of interest such as infection status. A topic of key interest in this area involves the development of regression models that relate the individual level covariates to the binary pool testing responses. The research in this area has primarily focused on parametric regression models. In this poster, we will introduce a new estimation method which can handle multi-dimensional covariates while assuming the link is unknown. The asymptotic properties of our estimators are also …

The Alternative Appeal, Courtney Deroo

Annual Celebration of Student Scholarship and Creativity

For decades, Americans expressed dissatisfaction with conventional cancer treatments. I examine the appeal of biological alternatives to surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy for patients with cancer. The limited effectiveness and side effects of many conventional cancer therapies led many patients to pursue a variety of unconventional therapies. To improve the quality of care for cancer patients, "mainstream" providers must better understand, and even collaborate with, alternative practitioners.

Cultivating America's Working Lands: A Study Of The Sociocultural Value Of Family Farms, Katherine Lloyd

Graduate Research and Discovery Symposium (GRADS)

Our ability to produce food in a sustainable, healthy and humane manner is threatened, both in the United States and on the global scale. This difficulty is exacerbated by expected population growth, creating a need for 60% more food worldwide by 2050 to feed a population of 9.3 billion. How we produce food affects local economies, the cultural vitality of communities, and the health of regional ecosystems. Industrial or conventional agriculture is damaging all three of these systems by draining local economies through corporate business practices, isolating farmers and attributing to rural population losses, while depleting natural resources and polluting …

Educating For Virtue Across Multiple Cultural And Religious Contexts: On The Problem Of Commensurability, Mark Ortwein

Journal of Contemporary Research in Education

This aim of this paper is to explore the concept of intellectual and moral virtue across cultural, religious, and philosophical points of view—with special attention to the role of education in the formation of virtue. The central ambition of this paper is to determine if virtue is a concept that transcends cultural contexts and, should it do so, to what extent? It is shown that certain ubiquitous virtuous character traits are valued across cultural lines, and that similar understandings of virtue emerge in almost all cultural and religious contexts. Despite this, it also clear that virtue functions differently across cultural …

Verbal Word Choice Of Effective Reading Teachers, Kelly A. Moran

Academic Leadership Journal in Student Research

Humans are fragile beings easily influenced by the verbal behaviors of others. Spoken words can have a multitude of effects on an individual, and the phrases and statements teachers use in their classrooms on a daily basis have the potential to be either detrimental or inspirational. As increasing numbers of students arrive at schools from broken families, possessing poor nutritional habits and debilitating health concerns, and experiencing greater exposure to violence in the media and within their communities, educators need to be keenly aware of the impact their verbal behaviors have on children. Teachers need to be mindful of the …
