My Way Or The Highway: The Development And Use Of Behavior Management And School Discipline, Patricia Thomas

University Honors Program

Behavior management is a crucial topic in education. The management of student behavior in a classroom can affect the entire learning experience. As the needs of students and teachers change, the methods of behavior management adapt to accommodate new needs. This thesis identifies behavior management starting in the 1960’s and research determining its effectiveness. The causes of change in classroom and school-wide discipline systems are addressed, including political climates, court involvement, and tragic events within schools. The behavior management methods used in the current day are discussed. Through a review of literature and online sources, the information provided was gathered …

Cyclin D1 Silencing Suppresses Tumorigenicity, Impairs Dna Double Strand Break Repair And Thus Radiosensitizes Androgenindependent Prostate Cancer Cells To Dna Damage., F Marampon, G L Gravina, Xiaoming Ju, A Vetuschi, R Sferra, Mathew C Casimiro, S Pompili, C Festuccia, A Colapietro, E Gaudio, E Di Cesare, V Tombolini, Richard Pestell

Department of Cancer Biology Faculty Papers

Patients with hormone-resistant prostate cancer (PCa) have higher biochemical failure rates following radiation therapy (RT). Cyclin D1 deregulated expression in PCa is associated with a more aggressive disease: however its role in radioresistance has not been determined. Cyclin D1 levels in the androgen-independent PC3 and 22Rv1 PCa cells were stably inhibited by infecting with cyclin D1-shRNA. Tumorigenicity and radiosensitivity were investigated using in vitro and in vivo experimental assays. Cyclin D1 silencing interfered with PCa oncogenic phenotype by inducing growth arrest in the G1 phase of cell cycle and reducing soft agar colony formation, migration, invasion in vitro and tumor …

Renal Replacement Therapy In Patients With Left Ventricular Assist Device: What Do The Cardiologists Need To Know?, Hesham R. Omar

The VAD Journal

Renal failure after left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation occurs either due to worsening chronic kidney disease which is common in end-stage heart failure, or due to acute kidney injury in the peri-implantation period, and is associated with high morbidity and short-term mortality. The increased utilization of LVAD in refractory heart failure either as a bridge to transplantation or destination therapy will eventually create a population of patients with LVADs who are dialysis-dependent. There are multiple challenges encountered during dialysis of patients with LVADs including the unfamiliarity of nephrologists with the LVAD technology, difficulty in hemodynamic monitoring with continuous flow …

Making Walkable Communities, Katie Zuehlke

Op-Eds from ENSC230 Energy and the Environment: Economics and Policies

There is no doubt that global warming is happening. With all the rage about climate change and global warming people should be doing more about it than just reading about it in the news. We should be making efforts towards making changes on a local level. This in turn could grow to a national level with more and more people participating in the movement and actually make global changes, instead of just talking about it. When the scale of participants grows the scale of the changes made will grow as well and this will be the beginning of the changes …

The Invasive Coral Oculina Patagonica Has Not Been Recently Introduced To The Mediterranean From The Western Atlantic Speciation And Evolutionary Genetics, Karine Posbic Leydet, Michael E. Hellberg

Faculty Publications

© 2015 Leydet and Hellberg; licensee BioMed Central. Background: Effective policies, management, and scientific research programs depend on the correct identification of invasive species as being either native or introduced. However, many species continue to be misidentified. Oculina patagonica, first recorded in the Mediterranean Sea in 1966, is believed to have been introduced in anthropogenic times and expanding in a west to east direction. However, its present identification and status as a recently introduced species remain to be explored. In this study, we used multi-locus genetic data to test whether O. patagonica in the Mediterranean has been recently introduced from …

Association Of Car Ownership And Physical Activity Across The Spectrum Of Human Development: Modeling The Epidemiologic Transition Study (Mets), David A. Shoham, Lara R.

Background: Variations in physical activity (PA) across nations may be driven by socioeconomic position. As national incomes increase, car ownership becomes within reach of more individuals. This report characterizes associations between car ownership and PA in African-origin populations across 5 sites at different levels of economic development and with different transportation infrastructures: US, Seychelles, Jamaica, South Africa, and Ghana. Methods: Twenty-five hundred adults, ages 25-45, were enrolled in the study. A total of 2,101 subjects had valid accelerometer-based PA measures (reported as average daily duration of moderate to vigorous PA, MVPA) and complete socioeconomic information. Our primary exposure of interest …

Cost Control During The Pre-Contract Stage Of A Building Project – An Introduction, Tony Cunningham

Other Resources

Cost overruns are commonplace on construction projects.

One of the most important tasks carried out by quantity surveyors (QS) involves providing advice to clients and design team colleagues to enable the design to be finalised within the approved budget. This financial management process is referred to as cost control. Cost control seeks to deliver a high degree of cost certainty during the various stages of the building project in order that the project can be completed within budget. Successful projects are those which are delivered to the required quality standards, on time, and within budget. Effective cost management therefore is …

The Effect Of Education On Portal Personal Health Record Use, Imke Casey Dnp, Crna, Rhit

Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) Translational and Clinical Research Projects

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to assess the computer-use attitudes among chronically ill adult primary care practice (PCP) patients. The goal was to examine the rate of portal personal health record (PHR) use of middle-aged and older adults, to evaluate the effectiveness of an educational intervention in improving PHR adoption, and to identify patients’ thoughts about the PHR. The quasi-experimental, pre-test/post-test design with a paired matched set was performed with a convenience sample of 50 subjects from a primary care group practice in Central Florida.

Participants were recruited on the day of their provider appointment. After participant’s consent …

Evolution Of Non-Metallic Inclusions In Foundry Steel Casting Processes, Marc Harris, Von Richards, Ronald J. O'Malley, Semen Naumovich Lekakh

Materials Science and Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

The evolution of nonmetallic inclusions was examined for 4320 steel at an industrial steel foundry. The steel was followed from electric arc furnace melting through ladle refining to final casting. Timed sampling was performed at all stages of the process. Samples were analyzed using an automated SEM/EDS system. The overall evolution of oxide inclusions in terms of nucleation, growth, and flotation during liquid processing was studied using area fraction and average diameter. Chemical composition evolution was observed using a joint ternary plotting tool developed under this program. It was found that the use of zirconium as an addition for nitrogen/oxygen …

Overrating Bruins, Underrating Badgers: Media, Bias, And College Basketball, Daniel Hawkins, Andrew M. Linder, Ryan Larson, Jonathan Santo

Psychology Faculty Publications

Why are some teams perennial darlings of sports journalists while other talented squads get overlooked? Each week during the NCAA basketball season, the Associated Press releases a ranked poll of the top 25 teams. By comparing the preseason and postseason rankings, we construct a measure of how much sports journalists who respond to the poll overrate (or underrate) college teams relative to their actual performance. Using this metric for the 115 NCAA schools that have appeared at least once in the opening or final AP poll in the last 25 years, we examine a range of institutional characteristics that may …
