Drinking Water And Autism: Using Spatial Cluster Detection To Explore Patterns Of Autism Cases In Lane County, Oregon, Sherry Sandreth

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) are a complex array of neurological disorders with a diverse presentation, multiple etiologies, and long-term ramifications. Prevalence of ASD in the United States is about 1 in 50 children as of 2013, making it a significant public health problem. The etiology is not understood, and it is widely accepted that it is multicausal, with genetic and environmental influences. Prior research suggests an association between water source and ASD. Contaminants such as lead, arsenic, mercury, pharmaceuticals and pesticides found in water are associated with developmental disorders suggesting that a systematic review focused on water source was warranted. …

Historical Trends And Emerging Issues In Teacher Education Programs In The United States, Karl M. Lorenz

Literasing Midya, Rolando B. Tolentino

Katipunan

Ang anumang usapin ng wika ay may kahilingang iangkla sa usapin ng literasing midya na siyang namamayaning normatibo sa praktikal na gamit sa wika. Sa sanaysay na ito, minamapa ang pribatisasyon ng pagdanas sa paglikha ng autonomous na individual, gamit ang rebolusyong teknolohikal at informasyon. Ito ang nagsasalin para akuin ang mundo at teknolohiya ng individual. Inihahayag din ang implikasyon--posibilidad at limitasyon--ng Filipino bilang global na wika sa pag-angat ng teknolohiya ng pagdanas, kasama ang pagdanas sa wika, at ang umuusbong na papel ng akademya tungo sa kritikal na pananaw dito.

Ang Pagtuturo Ng Wika At Kulturang Filipino Sa Disiplinang Filipino (Konteksto Ng K-12), Galileo S. Zafra

Katipunan

nakagawiang pagtuturo na may diin sa gramatika at komunikasyon. Ang ipinapanukalang dulog ay nagpapatingkad sa ugnayan ng wika at kulturang Filipino. May iba’t ibang aspekto ang ugnayang ito ngunit itinatampok ang pagtingin sa wika bilang “daluyan” o “sisidlan” ng kultura. Gayumpaman, hindi humihinto ang pananaw na ito sa enumerasyon lamang ng mga tao, lugar, bagay, pangyayari, konsepto, at iba pang sagisag-kulturang Filipino, at sa halip, laging iginigiit na ang kultura ay dinamiko, kolektibo, at may ginagalawang konteksto. Naglatag din ng isang kongkretong modelo, at halimbawang aplikasyon, sa pagsusuri ng mga cultural domain o pangkulturang larang na nakatuon sa wika. Sa …

“Taksil Daw Ang Tagasalin?” Isang Pag-Unawa Sa Pagsasalin Bilang Disiplina, Michael M. Coroza

Katipunan

Sa papel na ito, inilalatag kung paano dapat pahalagahan at isapraktika ang pagsasalin bilang isang lehitimong lárang o disiplina. Sa simula, ipinakikita na walang hindi pagsasalin sa lahat ng aktibidad ng táong nagsisikap umunawa at magpaunawa sa lahat ng kaniyang ginagawa. Hahantong ang pagtalakay sa pagbibigay-diin na lampas sa pagiging lingguwistiko ang pagsasalin at mataas na kasanayang intelektuwal at karunungang pangkultura ang hinihingi nito sa sinumang naghahangad na maging tagasalin na walang pagsalang magtataksil sapagkat hindi kailanman makaiiwas sa mga pagtatakda ng paglikha o muling pagakda. Dahil muling pag-akda, isang kabalintunaan na orihinal ang salin kayâ nakahuhulagpos ang tagasalin sa …

In Experiment 1, a total of 96 commercial cross-bred pigs [(Duroc × Yorkshire) × Landrace], weaned at 21 days, were assigned to two treatments in a completely randomized design with a single factorial arrangement of 40 days of supplementation (nonsupplemented vs. supplemented with 0.4% heat-killed M. Phlei). The results showed that M. Phlei has the capability to improve the intestinal microecology of weaned piglets. The …

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

Babesiosis, theileriosis, and anaplasmosis are the tick-borne diseases of cattle in most of the tropical areas and Turkey. A total of 270 cattle were randomly selected from 27 villages and 77 farms in the Black Sea Region of Turkey for the determination of infections by Babesia bigemina and Anaplasma marginale by using the indirect fluorescent antibody (IFA) test and the competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (cELISA). Of those, 242 and 256 sera were also analyzed for antibodies against Theileria annulata and Babesia bovis infections using the IFA test, respectively, during the period of June 2006 to June 2007.

Learning Benefits Of A Translation Corpus For Novice Asl-English Interpreters, Daniel R. Roush

EKU Faculty and Staff Scholarship

A preliminary review of the literature reveals that Corpus-Based Translation Studies (CTS) is an established area of research/methodology (Kruger, et al, 2011). Corpus-Based Interpreting Studies (CIS) is still emerging (Setton, 2011). Studies within CTS point to positive benefits of using translation corpora in translator education (Beeby, 2009, among others). In CIS, there are few studies that examine the use of corpora in spoken language interpreter education (Tohyama, et al., 2006). The use of corpora in signed language interpreter education appears to be unexplored.

Psychosocial Functioning In Adolescents With Temporomandibular Disorders, Monica L. Gremillion

Theses and Dissertations--Psychology

Psychosocial functioning is a key component of screening and treatment of Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD) in adults; however, psychosocial functioning in adolescents with TMD has received little empirical attention. The present study aims to examine group difference between adolescents and adults with TMD on pain and prominent psychosocial factors, such as anxiety, depression, and somatization, as well as to explore additional developmentally sensitive psychosocial factors that may be associated more with the adolescent TMD pain.

Participants included 35 adolescents aged 12-17 (M=14.89 years, SD=1.84) with TMD muscle pain who completed pain questionnaires and a comprehensive dental examination. Patients …

Deep Brain Stimulation For Parkinson's Disease: An Investigation Of Post-Surgical Self-Regulation And Executive Functioning, Hannah L. Combs

Theses and Dissertations--Psychology

Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder that attacks the basal ganglia and contributes to a range of motor, cognitive, and behavioral impairments (e.g., tremor, rigidity, and executive dysfunction). This dysfunction may contribute to self-regulatory impairment across several domains, including cognitive skills, thought processes, and emotion. Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) is a neurosurgical procedure that allows for direct and reversible manipulation of brain activity in patients with PD. The procedure is growing in popularity and is commonly used as an adjunct or in some instances an alternative to dopaminometic medications. Preliminary studies suggest mild executive dysfunction follows DBS but …

Loss Aversion In Cocaine Users: Influence Of Risk And Commodity Type, Justin Charles Strickland

Theses and Dissertations--Psychology

Numerous studies in behavioral economics have demonstrated that individuals are more sensitive to the prospect of a loss than a gain (i.e., loss aversion). Although loss aversion has been well described in healthy populations, little research exists in individuals with substance use disorders. The purpose of this study was to comprehensively evaluate loss aversion in cocaine users. Participants completed measures designed to assess loss aversion for drug and non-drug commodities under varying risk conditions. Cocaine demand was determined using a cocaine purchase task. Cocaine users showed a loss aversion score that was consistent across commodity and risk conditions. Compared to …

Life Adversity, Social Support, Resilience, And College Student Mental Health, Joshua Mello

All Master's Theses

A sample of 507 students from a public university in Washington State completed an online study which consisted of surveys operationalizing each variable. The results showed that current college student hassles and perceived social support significantly predicted resilience. Current college student hassles, resilience, and perceived social support also significantly predicted mental health. The study revealed that ACEs had …

Developing A Primary Source Lab Series: A Collaboration Between Special Collections And Subject Collections Librarians, Adam Rosenkranz, Gale Burrow, Lisa L. Crane

Library Staff Publications and Research

In 2014 librarians at the Claremont Colleges Library piloted a 2-part workshop series that gave graduate students the opportunity to closely read a primary source as artifact, explore related digital primary sources, identify interesting research questions, and find secondary scholarship that spoke to those questions. This Primary Source Workshop series was developed collaboratively by special collections librarians, subject liaison librarians, and graduate faculty. The series has since been adapted for a variety of graduate and undergraduate classes. As a sequence, the workshops emphasize the continuity from paper sources to digital sources and the interrelationships of primary and secondary sources in …
