Attitudes Toward Adult Education Among Adult Learners Without A High School Diploma Or Ged, Andrea Rose Bennett

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to explore attitudes toward adult education among adult learners without a high school diploma or the General Educational Development (GED). In this study, adult learners without a high school diploma or GED completed the Attitudes Toward Adult Education Scale (AACES) and selected respondents volunteered to participate in a face-to-face interview in conjunction with the mixed methods section of the study. For this study, I used a 5-point Likert scale to measure the responses on the 22-item AACES survey.

Three hundred and fifty respondents participated in the study. Descriptive statistics and a three-way ANOVA revealed …

Parental Understanding And Practice Of Their Child's Diet For Branched-Chain Amino Acid Metabolic Disorders, Ellen Marie Rakow Denning

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

Limited parent/caregiver (P/C) knowledge regarding BCAA inborn errors of metabolism (IEM) could negatively impact patients' serum BCAA levels, resulting in adverse health outcomes. This study's purpose was to identify relationships between P/C's demographics and understanding of BCAA IEM to patient's serum leucine level. Participants included P/C and patients with a BCAA IEM. During patients' appointments, questionnaires were administered to P/Cs eliciting understanding of BCAA IEM and demographics. Regression analyses estimated relationships between P/C understanding of BCAA IEM and demographic factors to patients' serum leucine levels. No correlation was observed between P/C understanding of BCAA IEM and patient's serum leucine level. …

Intermediate Filament Protein Synemin: Regulation By Exogenous Factors And Role In Astrocytoma Cell Proliferation Through Interaction With Protein Phosphatase 2a, Madhumita Paul

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

Intermediate filament proteins (IF) are cytoskeletal proteins that are primary determinants of the mechanical strength of tissues. IF proteins also modulate signaling pathways involved in cell death, survival, and growth. These proteins are expressed in a tissue specific manner and their regulation is strictly controlled in embryonic development and pathological conditions. Synemin is an IF protein that, unlike other IF proteins, is expressed in a broad range of tissues rather than in specific cell types. Synemin is expressed in all muscle types, glial cells of the retina and optic nerve, hepatic stellate cells, some mature neurons of the peripheral nervous …

Prevalence Of Weight Bias In Health Related Majors At The University Of Memphis, Emily E. Beatty

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

Background: Studies have assessed weight bias among pre-health professionals, but no experimental research has tested the difference in weight bias between freshmen and senior pre-health professionals. Such studies are needed to examine if a difference exists that could impact future treatment and health evaluations.Objective: This study assessed the prevalence of weight bias in freshmen and senior undergraduate students in health care majors.Methods: Twenty-nine participants were randomized to read one of four patient profiles, which varied in sex and weight characteristics. Participants evaluated their patient's health status, treatment participation, and answered questions from the Fat Phobia Scale, Marlowe Crowne's Social Desirability …

"Mr. Furry's Blues": The Life, Music, And Legacy Of Furry Lewis, Jamison Tyler Fritts

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

This dissertation provides in-depth critical analysis of Memphis blues musician Furry Lewis's (1899-1981) life, music, and legacy. I rely on archival research, ethnographic fieldwork, and musical and technical analysis to answer a few key questions: 1) Who was Furry Lewis?; 2) Why does his music sound the way it does?; and 3) What impact does he have on current Memphis musicians? Drawing on Henry Lewis Gates, Jr.'s literary critique of the African and Afro-Diasporic legend of Esu-Elegbara, I explore the relationship between Lewis's known biography and the complex web of myths that surround him. I then examine the ways in …

What Caused The Failure Of The Egyptian Revolution?, Jumana Midani

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

Why did the Egyptian Revolution fail after President Hosni Mubarak was overthrown and after a new president, Mohammed Morsi, was democratically elected for the first time in Egypt? Egyptian revolutionaries were able to depose a dictator that ruled them for three decades, but were unable to achieve their goals in making any political, social or economic improvements in their country. The rule of President Morsi did not last for more than one year. He was subsequently ousted, and members from the previous Mubarak regime returned to power and resumed autocratic rule in the same manner as before. This thesis explains …

Quantitative Proteomic Investigation Of Disease Models Of Type 2 Diabetes, Mark Gabriel Athanason

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

PANcreatic DERived factor (PANDER, FAM3B) is a member of a superfamily of FAM3 proteins that are uniquely structured and strongly expressed from the endocrine pancreas and co-secreted with insulin. Unique animal models available to our lab have indicated that PANDER can induce a selective hepatic insulin resistant (SHIR) phenotype whereby insulin signaling is blunted yet lipogenesis is increased. The complexity of the biological networks involved with this process warranted the logical approach of employing quantitative mass spectrometry based proteomic analysis using stable isotope labeling of amino acids in cell culture (SILAC) to identify the global proteome differences between the PANDER …

The Effects Of Synthetic And Dietary Therapeutics On Learning, Memory, Motor Coordination, And Seizure In An Angelman Syndrome Mouse Model, Stephanie Lynn Ciarlone

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Angelman syndrome (AS) is a rare genetic and neurological disorder presenting with severe developmental delay, ataxia, epilepsy, and lack of speech. AS is associated with a neuron-specific loss of function of the maternal UBE3A allele, a gene encoding an E3 ubiquitin ligase. Currently, no cure exists for this disorder; however, recent research using an AS mouse model suggests that pharmacological intervention is plausible, and can alleviate some of the detrimental phenotypes reported in AS patients.

Although there is no curative treatment for AS, seizure medication and behavioral therapies are most commonly prescribed in order to minimize symptoms. However, these options …

Levels Of Distress Among Women Veterans Attending A Women’S Health Specialty Clinic In The Va Healthcare System, Debbie T. Devine

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Currently, between 21.9 and 23 million veterans have served in the United States armed forces. Of those, 2 million are women, and of those, only 6.5% use the Veterans Health Administration system. These females often suffer from physical and mental health disorders, and overall impaired quality of life (QOL), rendering their healthcare needs complex. Seeking, and providing care in this specialty area may become overwhelming not only for the women seeking the care, but also for healthcare systems that are unfamiliar with the specific needs of this population.

A retrospective medical records review was completed of 51 female veterans between …

Gene Expression Profiling And The Role Of Hsf1 In Ovarian Cancer In 3d Spheroid Models, Trillitye Paullin

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Ovarian cancer is the most lethal gynecological cancer, with over 200,000 women diagnosed each year and over half of those cases leading to death. These poor statistics are related to a lack of early symptoms and inadequate screening techniques. This results in the cancer going undetected until later stages when the tumor has metastasized through a process that requires the epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT). In lieu of traditional monolayer cell culture, EMT and cancer progression in general is best characterized through the use of 3D spheroid models. In this study, we examine gene expression changes through microarray analysis in …

The Impact Of Criminal Justice Interventions And Social Policies On Family Violence: Theory And Evidence, Sianne Diana Vijay

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

In 2014, the Child Protective Services received 3.6 million referrals alleging child abuse and neglect, of which, 702,000 children were victims of abuse and neglect and an estimated 1,580 children died due to maltreatment. In addition to this appalling toll, the welfare effects of child victimization are substantial. Evidence suggests that compared to demographically similar adults who were non-victims, adults with documented histories of maltreatment are more likely to engage in criminal behavior; have adverse mental and physical health problems such as depression, addiction and post-traumatic stress disorder; and have lower levels of education and earnings. These essays contribute toward …
