A Lifebook: Facilitating The Creation Of A Child’S Life Story, Sherri M. Weber Ph.D.

NYS Child Welfare/Child Protective Services Training Institute

Lifebooks present opportunities for children to have fun while building a concept of “self”, strengthening attachment, and developing a sense of permanency in their lives.

A lifebook shares a child's life in a chronological manner. It could be a book, a shoebox, or whatever the child deems an important space. One of the things that a lifebook includes are: official documents, child made pictures, documents, drawings, letters, and other writings that are important to the child.

With Marriage On The Decline And Cohabitation On The Rise, What About Marital Rights For Unmarried Partners?, Lawrence W. Waggoner

Law & Economics Working Papers

Part I of this paper uses recent government data to trace the decline of marriage and the rise of cohabitation in the United States. Between 2000 and 2010, the population grew by 9.71%, but the husband and wife households only grew by 3.7%, while the unmarried couple households grew by 41.4%. A counter-intuitive finding is that the early 21st century data show little correlation between the marriage rate and economic conditions. Because of the Supreme Court’s decision in Obergefell v. Hodges (2015), same-sex marriage is now universally available to same-sex couples. Part I considers the impact of same-sex marriage on …

In Vitro Mutational And Bioinformatics Analysis Of The M71 Odorant Receptor And Its Superfamily, Jaclyn Bubnell, Sophie Jamet, Delia Tomoiaga, Charlotte D’Hulst, Konstantinos Krampis, Paul Feinstein

Publications and Research

We performed an extensive mutational analysis of the canonical mouse odorant receptor (OR) M71 to determine the properties of ORs that inhibit plasma membrane trafficking in heterologous expression systems. We employed the use of the M71::GFP fusion protein to directly assess plasma membrane localization and functionality of M71 in heterologous cells in vitro or in olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) in vivo. OSN expression of M71::GFP show only small differences in activity compared to untagged M71. However, M71::GFP could not traffic to the plasma membrane even in the presence of proposed accessory proteins RTP1S or mβ2AR. To ask if ORs contain …

Gadolinium Free Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance With 2-Point Cine Balanced Steady State Free Precession, Tori A. Stromp, Steve W. Leung, Kristin N Andres, Linyuan Jing, Brandon K. Fornwalt, Richard Charnigo, Vincent L. Sorrell, Moriel H. Vandsburger

Saha Cardiovascular Research Center Faculty Publications

BACKGROUND: Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) of ventricular structure and function is widely performed using cine balanced steady state free precession (bSSFP) MRI. The bSSFP signal of myocardium is weighted by magnetization transfer (MT) and T1/T2-relaxation times. In edematous and fibrotic tissues, increased T2 and reduced MT lead to increased signal intensity on images acquired with high excitation flip angles. We hypothesized that acquisition of two differentially MT-weighted bSSFP images (termed 2-point bSSFP) can identify tissue that would enhance with gadolinium similar to standard of care late gadolinium enhancement (LGE).

METHODS: Cine bSSFP images (flip angles of 5° and …

Department of Medicine Faculty Papers

BACKGROUND: Prostate cancer is a heterogeneous disease, but current treatments are not based on molecular stratification. We hypothesized that metastatic, castration-resistant prostate cancers with DNA-repair defects would respond to poly(adenosine diphosphate [ADP]-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibition with olaparib.

METHODS: We conducted a phase 2 trial in which patients with metastatic, castration-resistant prostate cancer were treated with olaparib tablets at a dose of 400 mg twice a day. The primary end point was the response rate, defined either as an objective response according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors, version 1.1, or as a reduction of at least 50% in the …

Online Game Advertising And Chinese College Students: Attitudes, First- And Third-Person Effects, Yan Tang

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study is to explore the relationships among Chinese college students’ attitudes toward online games and online game advertising, their perceived influence of online game advertising on themselves and others, and their attitude toward restrictions on online game advertising. The growing popularity of online games and the frequent use of advertising in promoting online gaming activities make it necessary to examine empirically the relationships among these variables. Based on a survey among 518 Chinese college students, the study found support for the mediating role of the third-person effect. It also found evidence for the first-person effect through …

The Short- And Long-Term Effects Of Child Abuse And Their Implications For The Suggested Length Of Physical And Psychosocial Treatment Regimens, Christine M. Ruff

Senior Honors Theses

Child abuse is the physical, psychological, or neglectful maltreatment of a child by a caregiver. Intimate partner violence relates closely to child mistreatment. Children are not likely to disclose that their parent or guardian is abusing them. Child abuse may result in short-term consequences, long-term consequences, or death. Some negative outcomes of maltreatment include delinquency, mental health issues, physical problems, educational underachievement, and socioeconomic disparities. The cycle of mistreatment is when a parent who suffered abuse as a child is more likely to maltreat his or her own child. There are factors that protect from the consequences of mistreatment. Research …

The Influence Of A Palliative Care Education Intervention In Increasing Knowledge And Self-Efficacy Of Nurses Practicing In Long-Term Care, Yvonne L. Joy

Doctoral Dissertations

As of 2014, nearly 6,000,000 people in the United States need palliative care. Almost 2,000,000 people with chronic, serious illnesses currently reside in long-term care facilities. Palliative care aims to relieve suffering and provide the best possible quality of life. Thus, the primary aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of an education intervention to increase nurses’ knowledge and self-efficacy in palliative care practice in long-term care settings. A secondary aim of this study was to determine if there was a significant difference in palliative care self-efficacy between registered nurses (RNs) and licensed practical nurses (LPNs). A two-group …

Petition For A Writ Of Certiorari To The United States Court Of Appeals For The Ninth Circuit, Jensen V. Exc, Inc., John P. Lavelle, Geoffrey R. Romero, Michael J. Barthelemy

Faculty Scholarship

The petitioners argue:

1) Supervisory Review is Needed Because the District Court and the Ninth Circuit Automatically Aligned U.S. Highway 160 with Alienated, Non-Indian Fee Land, Ignoring this Court’s Context-Specific, Multifactor Methodology for Determining the Status of Reservation Roadways for Tribal Jurisdictional Purposes.

2) Supervisory Review is Also Necessary Because Both Lower Courts Refused to Apply Supreme Court Precedents Governing Whether an Indian Tribe Retains Treaty-Based Authority over the Conduct of Nonmembers on a Tribe’s Reservation, Effecting an Impermissible Judicial Abrogation of the Navajo Nation’s Congressionally Confirmed, Treaty-Based Jurisdiction in This Case.

3) Supervisory Review is Further Needed Because Both …
