Indigenous Education Research
This literature review seeks to provide an overview of current understandings and discourse about culturally responsive teaching and cultural awareness in education in Australia. Although some of the literature considered within this review is from an international perspective, the purpose of this review is to provide background information regarding culturally responsive teaching with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students. This literature review was completed in a short time frame and is by no means exhaustive on the topic of culturally responsive teaching and cultural awareness with Indigenous students. It was completed as part of a contract with the VET Development …
Rural Disabled Medicare Beneficiaries Spend More Out-Of-Pocket Than Their Urban Counterparts, Erika C. Ziller Phd, Jennifer D. Lenardson Mhs, Andrew F. Coburn Phd
Rural Disabled Medicare Beneficiaries Spend More Out-Of-Pocket Than Their Urban Counterparts, Erika C. Ziller Phd, Jennifer D. Lenardson Mhs, Andrew F. Coburn Phd
Access / Insurance
The majority of Medicare beneficiaries experience gaps between the care they need and costs covered by Medicare and seek supplemental coverage to meet this gap, including private plans offered by former employers or purchased individually, or public coverage through Medicaid. Since rural beneficiaries are more likely to purchase supplemental indemnity coverage individually, to participate in Medicaid, or to go without supplemental coverage altogether, it is likely that their out-of-pocket spending differs from that of urban residents, although the magnitude and direction of these differences may vary for individual beneficiaries. This study used data from the 2006-2010 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey …

An Assessment Of Food Safety Handling Practices At Farmers' Markets In Rhode Island Using A Smartphone Application, Elizabeth G. Vandeputte, Lori F. Pivarnik, Joshua Scheinberg, Robson Machado, Catherine N. Cutter, Ingrid E. Lofgren
Nutrition Faculty Publications
The number of foodborne illness outbreaks increased in the US from 2001 to 2010, and 17% of them were associated with produce. Higher risk, whole produce sold at farmers' markets presents unique challenges to food safety practices in regard to temperature controls, potable water, and exposure to contaminants. The purpose of this study is to use direct observations to identify unsafe food handling practices among vendors selling higher risk produce at Rhode Island farmers' markets. This study used, as a tool for data acquisition, a Smartphone application developed to allow concealed direct observations of actual vendors' practices at farmers' markets. …
The Oedipus Hex: Regulating Family After Marriage Equality, Courtney Megan Cahill
The Oedipus Hex: Regulating Family After Marriage Equality, Courtney Megan Cahill
Scholarly Publications
Now that national marriage equality for same-sex couples has become the law of the land, commentators are turning their attention from the relationships into which some gays and lesbians enter to the mechanisms on which they — and many others — rely in order to reproduce. Even as one culture war makes way for another, however, there is something that binds them: a desire to establish the family. This Article focuses on a problematic manifestation of that desire: the incest prevention justification. The incest prevention justification posits that the law ought to regulate alternative reproduction in order to minimize the …
Bdnf Contributes To Angiotensin Ii-Mediated Reductions In Peak Voltage-Gated K+ Current In Cultured Cath.A Cells., Bryan K. Becker, Han-Jun Wang, Changhai Tian, Irving H. Zucker
Bdnf Contributes To Angiotensin Ii-Mediated Reductions In Peak Voltage-Gated K+ Current In Cultured Cath.A Cells., Bryan K. Becker, Han-Jun Wang, Changhai Tian, Irving H. Zucker
Journal Articles: Cellular & Integrative Physiology
Increased central angiotensin II (Ang II) levels contribute to sympathoexcitation in cardiovascular disease states such as chronic heart failure and hypertension. One mechanism by which Ang II increases neuronal excitability is through a decrease in voltage-gated, rapidly inactivating K(+) current (IA); however, little is known about how Ang II signaling results in reduced IA. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) has also been demonstrated to decrease IA and has signaling components common to Ang II. Therefore, we hypothesized that Ang II-mediated suppression of voltage-gated K(+) currents is due, in part, to BDNF signaling. Differentiated CATH.a, catecholaminergic cell line treated with BDNF for …
A Delayed Mathematical Model For The Acute Inflammatory Response To Infection, Carlo Bianca, Luca Guerrini, Julien Riposo
A Delayed Mathematical Model For The Acute Inflammatory Response To Infection, Carlo Bianca, Luca Guerrini, Julien Riposo
Applied Mathematics & Information Sciences
This paper deals with further developments on a mathematical model recently proposed for the modeling of the acute inflammatory response to infection or trauma. In particular in order to take into account that some interactions have not an immediate effect, we introduce time delays. Specifically the paper deals with the existence of steady states, determining the parameter regimes where the equilibrium points are stable, and the onset of Hopf bifurcation appears. Numerical simulations are performed with the main aim of supporting the analytical results and investigate further dynamics.
Multimodal Arabic Speech Recognition For Human-Robot Interaction Applications, Alaa Sagheer
Multimodal Arabic Speech Recognition For Human-Robot Interaction Applications, Alaa Sagheer
Applied Mathematics & Information Sciences
By the earliest motivation of building humanoid robot to take care of human being in the daily life, the researches of robotics have been developed several systems over the recent decades. One of the challenges faces humanoid robots is its capability to achieve audio-visual speech communication with people, which is known as human-robot interaction (HRI). In this paper, we propose a novel multimodal speech recognition system can be used independently or to be combined with any humanoid robot. The system is multimodal since it includes audio speech module, visual speech module, face and mouth detection and user identification all in …
A More Secure Dynamic Id-Based Remote Authentication Scheme Using Smart Cards, Dianli Guo, Fengtong Wen, Chengbo Xu
A More Secure Dynamic Id-Based Remote Authentication Scheme Using Smart Cards, Dianli Guo, Fengtong Wen, Chengbo Xu
Applied Mathematics & Information Sciences
In 2013, Chang et al. proposed an untraceable dynamic-identity-based remote user authentication scheme with verifiable password update. In this paper, we analyze Chang et al.s scheme and show that their scheme suffers from off-line password guessing attack, server spoofing attack and impersonation attack. Moreover, their scheme is traceable since the attacker can obtain the identity of the user. Thereby, we propose an alternative scheme based on elliptic curve cryptosystem and completely automated public turing test to tell computer and humans apart (CAPTCHA) technique. Besides, we demonstrate the completeness of the proposed scheme through the BAN-logic. Compared with other related existing …
Improved Iterative Sparseness For Least Squares Support Vector Machines, Zhong Lu-Sheng, Chen Li-Yong, Gong Jin-Hong, Zhu Zhen-Min
Improved Iterative Sparseness For Least Squares Support Vector Machines, Zhong Lu-Sheng, Chen Li-Yong, Gong Jin-Hong, Zhu Zhen-Min
Applied Mathematics & Information Sciences
An improved iterative sparse algorithm is proposed to accelerate the execution of sparse least squares support vector machines(LS-SVM). Firstly, the technique of iterative approximation to the L0-norm is used to sparsify the LS-SVM for regression. However, each iteration requires solving a linear system with expensive computation compared to training a single LS-SVM. In this paper, improved conjugate gradient (ICG) method is given to reduce the computational cost, which is based on transforming the constrained primal problem in LS-SVM into an unconstrained minimization problem. Then the solution to the unconstrained minimization problem is obtained by using the CG method only once …

Family Affairs Newsletter 2015-11-01, Zack Paakkonen
Family Affairs newsletter (2004-2016)
FAMILY AFFAIRS was a free, twice-a-month, social activities newsletter for the GLBTQI (gay/lesbian/bisexual/trans/queer/intersex) community, sent out around the 1st and 15th of each month. It covered the State of Maine only. The list was begun and maintained for many years by Jean Vermette in Bangor, and later operated by Zack Paakkonen of Portland. Over the years it evolved from a social activities newsletter into a business directory, classified ad service, and community bulletin board.

My office is on the thirteenth floor of an eighteen-story concrete tower that sits in the heart of campus. The building is so massively disproportionate to other buildings that it looms over the entire campus. Inside, the hallways are long and narrow, with no windows or natural light. A bank of six large elevators takes up the center space of each floor. Perhaps it is not surprising that this office tower has become the source of campus lore and legends among students and faculty. During my first semester on campus, a student asked if I knew the history of my …
Access Denied: Barriers For Unauthorized Immigrants Pursuing The American Dream, Kristin Mcmillen
Access Denied: Barriers For Unauthorized Immigrants Pursuing The American Dream, Kristin Mcmillen
OCCUPATION: A Medium of Inquiry about Health through Occupation
Millions of immigrants from all around the world are living in the United States without legal authorization. Most have come in search of a better life for themselves or their children, with the belief that through enough hard work, they can achieve the “American Dream.” However, upon arrival, many unauthorized immigrants face cultural, economic, and political barriers that limit their opportunities for community participation and lead many individuals to live their lives in fear. This paper aims to: (a) explore the barriers encountered by unauthorized immigrants in the United States; (b) consider the occupational significance of these barriers; and (c) …

More Educated And More Equal? A Comparative Analysis Of Female Education And Employment In Japan, China And India, Sucharita Sinha Mukherjee
More Educated And More Equal? A Comparative Analysis Of Female Education And Employment In Japan, China And India, Sucharita Sinha Mukherjee
Economics Faculty Publications
This paper attempts to explore the connections between expanding female education and the participation of women in paid employment in Japan, China and India, three of Asia's largest economies. Analysis based on existing data and literature shows that despite the large expansion in educational access in these countries in the last half century, women have lacked egalitarian labour market opportunities. A combination of social discouragement and individual choice largely explains the withdrawal, non-participation or intermittent female presence in the labour force, notwithstanding increased educational access. In taking stock of these issues and debates across these countries, it is argued that …
Deconstructing Dominant Discourse Using Self-Deprecating Humor: A Discourse Analysis Of A Consulting With Japanese Female About Hikikomori And Neet, Hatsuho Ayashiro
Deconstructing Dominant Discourse Using Self-Deprecating Humor: A Discourse Analysis Of A Consulting With Japanese Female About Hikikomori And Neet, Hatsuho Ayashiro
Journal of Critical Issues in Educational Practice
This study examines how dominant discourses are deconstructed in a consulting, particularly focusing on self-deprecating humor. Data were collected from a session with a Japanese client whose son was in hikikomori or NEET state, and a transcript of the session was analyzed using positioning theory. Examining several extracts shows how the client’s positioning of her son and herself is influenced by some dominant discourses, such as deficit discourse and so on. These dominant discourses are deconstructed by self-deprecating humor, because such ironical self-positioning makes these discourses visible, and defeats the self made by society. We discuss the findings with the …
