The 21st Century Graduate: Delivering A Tailored Approach To Social And Emotional Competency Training For Final Year Students To Enhance Graduate Attributes And Increase Employability, Ailish Jameson, Aiden Carthy, Colm Mcguinness, Fiona Mcsweeney

Conference Papers

The Higher Education Authority recently reported an average drop-out rate of 16% for Irish third level students, which poses significant pedagogical and economic challenges across the educational sector and negatively impacts the Irish economy. With respect to tackling this issue, a considerable body of international research has identified a strong positive correlation between higher levels of emotional intelligence (EI) and increased levels of student engagement and academic attainment. A wealth of previous research has also shown that employers favour graduates who possess higher levels of EI, for example, Job Outlook Survey, 2008, therefore, increasing students’ levels of EI is also …

A Fiscal Model Program Theory Proposal For Training Reentry Citizen Ex-Convicts To Remodel Abandoned Houses, James A. Hanson

Department of Educational Administration: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research

The purpose of this study was to develop and examine a fiscal program theory model and proposal for training reentry citizen ex-convicts to remodel abandoned houses. A sustainable program theory model describes ways that training and employing these citizens to remodel abandoned houses may be expected to have benefits to a community. The recently released ex-convicts will learn a construction trade, earn a sustainable wage, and the once-abandoned houses will be returned to the city tax rolls. Vocational education and workforce training are key to this program. The literature indicates that national jobless rates for recently released inmates is well …

On Problematic Robotic Thresholds, Adam K. Taylor

School of Computing: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research

Large configuration spaces present difficulties for developers validating large soft- ware systems and for users selecting the proper configuration to achieve the desired runtime behavior. Robot systems face the same challenges as they may have hundreds of configurable parameters. Our work focuses on co-robotic systems, those in which robots and humans work closely together to augment each other’s capabilities. We aim to leverage the user’s knowledge about a system to help determine configuration errors. To accomplish this, users mark runtime failures while observing the system in operation. A marked error indicates the robot “did something when it should not have” …

Pthrp(12-48) A New Player In Breast Cancer Bone Metastasis, Charity Leah Washam

Theses and Dissertations

Bone metastasis is a common complication of breast cancer that significantly compromises patient survival due, in part, to the advanced stage of disease at time of detection. Early detection is key to patient survival, however, despite intense investigation in both the metastatic and early breast cancer setting there are currently no high performance biomarkers that can identify or predict the development of bone metastasis. In order to improve patient outcomes new diagnostic tools that can detect skeletal lesions in their earliest stages of development and/or identify patients at risk for developing bone metastases that may benefit from adjuvant anti-resorptive treatment …

There Goes The Neighborhood: The Effects Of Residency Restrictions On Sex Offenders And The Community, Linde Christine Rush Burkey

Theses and Dissertations

Sex offender laws and regulations were enacted with the goal of preventing and reducing sex crimes, however, some scholars have argued sex offender laws may actually contribute to an increase in recidivism as a result of a number of unintended consequences. While there have been numerous studies examining the unintended consequences associated with residency restrictions, no research to date has examined the location of sex offender clusters and how these clusters affect the community and sex crimes within their geographical vicinities. While some researchers have established that the clustering of registered sex offenders occurs in certain geographical areas, further analysis …

Construction Of Class I Hla-Binding Peptidome, Heng Luo

Theses and Dissertations

The human leukocyte antigens (HLAs) can capture endogenous or exogenous peptides and set up a cascade which results in immune activation to fight a pathogen or sometimes to trigger autoimmune diseases or adverse drug reactions. Understanding HLA-peptide binding is essential for the development of vaccines and protein therapies, the identification of methods to prevent autoimmune diseases and the prediction of adverse drug reactions. Using an in silico approach we generated a 9-mer peptidome for Class I HLAs from the human proteome and harvested experimental HLA-peptide binding data from a variety of databases. Unfortunately, many peptides in the peptidome do not …

Applications Of Structure Based Drug Design To Generate High Affinity Anti-Methamphetamine Immunotherapy And To Identify Novel Inhibitors Of Lox-1 To Treat Atherosclerosis, Shraddha Thakkar

Theses and Dissertations

Computer-aided rational drug design is one of the most promising approaches for the development of effective drug therapies. This dissertation describes applications of rational structure-based techniques in two cases. In the first study, we enhanced the potency of a therapeutic antibody against methamphetamine. In the second study we identified potentially therapeutic molecules to treat atherosclerosis. Methamphetamine abuse is a serious health hazard and a single chain variable fragment (scFv) of a therapeutic anti-METH antibody has been developed at this University. Anti-METH immunotherapy blocks or reduces the rate of METH entry into the brain. In this research we introduced rationally designed …

Measuring Resting Energy Requirements For Pediatric Oncology Patients With The Medgem, Lauren C. Flowers

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

Pediatric oncology patients are at an increased risk for malnutrition related to their diagnosis and corresponding treatment. It is essential that accurate and reliable methods of measuring energy needs are used throughout treatment to avoid increased risk of morbidity and mortality. The primary objective of the study is to determine if the energy expenditure obtained by a standard energy equation and by the MedGem® accurately predicts needs in pediatric oncology patients as compared to the gold standard indirect calorimeter. The three measurements were tested on the same day for patients aged 7-17 years. The data was analyzed using a one …

Is Politics Really A Man's Game? Women As Political Recruiters And Participants, Anna Phillips Talley

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

Women are assumed to participate less often, and less effectively than men. Looking at the way women recruit others to participate, and their participation in protest activity, women seem to be as effective as men. As recruiters, men and women tend to recruit others of their gender, and due to the way women have been historically excluded, there are fewer women in politics who can recruit others to participate. Although they recruit as effectively as men, women are less likely to already be in positions of power that allow them to recruit. These structural barriers to participation reflect structural problems, …

Haunted By History: Specters Of The Past In Literature Of The Global South, April Kathleen Lenoir

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

This project argues that the shared history of slavery, imperialism, and the plantation manifests in 20th Century literature from both the Caribbean and the Southern United States as a haunting and ghostly presence. I utilize both canonical and less well-known authors, with a particular focus on female authors. Authors from both regions write stories of people and places haunted by history as a way to confront the ghosts of slavery and the plantation to allow them a future free of ghosts. Overall I bring together texts that have not been previously read together to show connections between literature of the …

Teacher Self-Efficacy: How Do High-Performing Black Teachers In Under-Performing Schools Negotiate Self-Efficacy?, Tisha Lithel White

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

Despite the vast research on efficacy and teacher efficacy, little focuses on high-performing Black teachers who work in low-performing urban schools. This research fills a gap in understanding high-performing Black teachers and provides a voice to a population under-represented in research. Through focus groups, semi-structured interviews, storytelling, and reviewing student work samples, findings showed that high-performing Black teachers in underperforming urban schools participate in specific practices that demonstrate their personal self-efficacy. Teachers were reflective, inquisitive, and generally maintained a positive outlook in all situations. The teachers in this study also carefully adapted their practice by focusing on strong relationships with …

A Bayesian Analysis Of The Impact Of Hereditary Attributes On The Diagnosis Of Als Patients, Kathryn Dee Coleman

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between hereditary attributes of patients that have been diagnosed with ALS and the change in their respective ALSFRS and/or ALSFRS-R scores over the length of a clinical trial in which they participated. These scores assess the patient's ability to perform everyday tasks, as well as describe the capability to breathe and eat. Data for each of the 8,600 patients was collected by a group called PRO-ACT, and was de-identified prior to access. Bayesian methods are used to estimate the mean of the posterior distributions of parameters in a simple linear …

La Ciencia Ficción Y La Narrativa Posmoderna: Hacia La Convergencia, Mikel Peregrina

Alambique. Revista académica de ciencia ficción y fantasía / Jornal acadêmico de ficção científica e fantasía

En Postmodernist Fiction Brian McHale defendía un acercamiento entre la ciencia ficción y la narrativa posmoderna. Mientras que la novela posmo­derna toma topos de la ciencia ficción, la ciencia ficción usa herramientas narrativas de la posmodernidad. Tanto Slaughterhouse-Five, de Kurt Vonnegut, como Dying Inside, de Robert Silverberg, reflejan esa conver­gencia. Además, la imbricación también aparece en las letras españolas, como demuestran los análisis de El mundo en la era de Varick , de Andrés Ibáñez, y de Lágrimas de luz, de Rafael Marín.
