Mapping With Time: Backstory And Beyond, Cindy Higgins

SIDLIT Conference

Big picture, graphic instantian of history, listicle, histomap — timelines present information visually to aid understanding but also can mislead. Learn about the timeline’s educational implications as well as its past and present. What’s the newest? Easiest? Tech-y wow? In this session, we’ll check out current free online DIY timeline sites and view a gallery of creative time visualization expression.

Identifying Genetic Risk Factors For Coronary Artery Angiographic Stenosis In A Genetically Diverse Population, Zhi Liu Aug 2016

Identifying Genetic Risk Factors For Coronary Artery Angiographic Stenosis In A Genetically Diverse Population, Zhi Liu

Open Access Dissertations

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of death world-wide. It is a multifactorial genetic disease with an estimated heritability of 40%. Many genetic studies had been performed on CAD, but they explained only 10% of the total heritability, partially due to most of these studies were performed on Europeans only. Admixed populations, such as Hispanics, were understudied, despite their higher risks of CAD than Europeans. To explain additional heritability of CAD, 2023 individuals were ascertained from the Miami Cardiovascular Registry catheterization labs, which were representative of the South Florida population – a mixture of Hispanics, Europeans, and African …


Health-Risk Behaviors And Bmi Percentiles, Timothy Mikando Makubuya Aug 2016

Health-Risk Behaviors And Bmi Percentiles, Timothy Mikando Makubuya

Dissertations

This study examined the relationship between Body Mass Index (BMI) percentile and health risk behaviors of physical activity, dietary behaviors and sleep among high school students from the Youth Risk Behavioral Survey. The study used the 2013 National Youth Risk Behavioral Survey data from the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The researcher used data for 9th to 12th graders to examine the associations between physical activity, dietary behavior, sleep and BMI percentiles among those participants using a measure of Spearman’s Rho correlation and Multiple Linear Regression analysis. There were significant indirect associations between physical activity, dietary behavior …

Prenatal Cocaine Exposure Upregulates Bdnf-Trkb Signaling, Andreas Stucky, Kalindi P. Bakshi, Eitan Friedman, Hoau-Yan Wang Aug 2016

Prenatal Cocaine Exposure Upregulates Bdnf-Trkb Signaling, Andreas Stucky, Kalindi P. Bakshi, Eitan Friedman, Hoau-Yan Wang

Publications and Research

Prenatal cocaine exposure causes profound changes in neurobehavior as well as synaptic function and structure with compromised glutamatergic transmission. Since synaptic health and glutamatergic activity are tightly regulated by brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) signaling through its cognate tyrosine receptor kinase B (TrkB), we hypothesized that prenatal cocaine exposure alters BDNF-TrkB signaling during brain development. Here we show prenatal cocaine exposure enhances BDNF-TrkB signaling in hippocampus and prefrontal cortex (PFCX) of 21-day-old rats without affecting the expression levels of TrkB, P75NTR, signaling molecules, NMDA receptor—NR1 subunit as well as proBDNF and BDNF. Prenatal cocaine exposure reduces activity-dependent proBDNF and BDNF release …


Black Spaces In White Places: Toward Black Educational Imagination, Shenita Nicole Mayes Aug 2016

Black Spaces In White Places: Toward Black Educational Imagination, Shenita Nicole Mayes

Dissertations

Using a combination of Critical Race Theory, self-determination, and Black radical imagination as a theoretical framework, this dissertation explores how the features of Black educational imagination – liberatory pedagogy, critically conscious acts, and a revitalized Black teaching force – animate Black school space. These spaces facilitate the re-humanization of Black people, the recognition of counter-narratives as valuable, and the consideration of racial trauma in hiring practices. Each space represents a meaningful recognition of Black radical imagination and therefore inform my actions in the workplace. I argue that a possible path towards liberating Black people from racialized oppression is paved by …


The Relationship Between Agriculture And The Environment, Elise Nicole Volz Aug 2016

The Relationship Between Agriculture And The Environment, Elise Nicole Volz

School of Education and Leadership Student Capstone Theses and Dissertations

Southern Minnesota is an agricultural hub, and there is a deeply rooted methodology when it comes to the techniques used to plant, grow, and harvest grain crops. These techniques have come under scrutiny as they are being accused of causing harm to the environment. As an alternative to these conventional agricultural techniques, sustainable agriculture provides an agricultural methodology that aims to grow crops in such a way that the environment is harmed a little as possible. This project was designed to determine awareness of sustainable agriculture among a group of students and develop a curriculum that allows students to explore …


Binge Ethanol Exposure Causes Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress, Oxidative Stress And Tissue Injury In The Pancreas, Zhenhua Ren, Xin Wang, Mei Xu, Fanmuyi Yang, Jacqueline A. Frank, Zun-Ji Ke, Jia Luo Aug 2016

Binge Ethanol Exposure Causes Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress, Oxidative Stress And Tissue Injury In The Pancreas, Zhenhua Ren, Xin Wang, Mei Xu, Fanmuyi Yang, Jacqueline A. Frank, Zun-Ji Ke, Jia Luo

Pharmacology and Nutritional Sciences Faculty Publications

Alcohol abuse is associated with both acute and chronic pancreatitis. Repeated episodes of acute pancreatitis or pancreatic injury may result in chronic pancreatitis. We investigated ethanol-induced pancreatic injury using a mouse model of binge ethanol exposure. Male C57BL/6 mice were exposed to ethanol intragastrically (5 g/kg, 25% ethanol w/v) daily for 10 days. Binge ethanol exposure caused pathological changes in pancreas demonstrated by tissue edema, acinar atrophy and moderate fibrosis. Ethanol caused both apoptotic and necrotic cell death which was demonstrated by the increase in active caspase-3, caspase-8, cleaved PARP, cleaved CK-18 and the secretion of high mobility group protein …
