Ethnicity, Gender And Pain Interference’S Influence On Depression Among Older Adults With Osteoarthritis, Jacinto J. Garrido

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2010 - 2019

The leading cause of disability among older adults is osteoarthritis (OA) (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 2017). Chronic pain associated with arthritis interferes with daily living among older adults and has been related to depression (Zanocchi et al., 2008). Research suggests that ethnicity and psychosocial factors may influence health outcomes of older adults with arthritis who are experiencing chronic pain and depression (Im, Guevara, & Chee, 2007; Wilson et al., 2014). The influence of ethnicity on depression among older adults with OA experiencing chronic pain is the phenomenon of interest for this study. Chronic pain that interferes with …

Acoustic Tonal And Vector Properties Of Red Hind Grouper Vocalizationd, Cameron Anthony Matthews Jan 2017

Acoustic Tonal And Vector Properties Of Red Hind Grouper Vocalizationd, Cameron Anthony Matthews

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2010 - 2019

Vertebrates are the most prodigious vocalizing animals in existence, and the most diverse methods of acoustic communication among vertebrates can be found in the ocean. Relatively many teleost fish are gifted with the ability to communicate acoustically, and the family of serranidae often performs this as a function of the swim bladder. Epinephelus Guttatus (E. guttatus), or more commonly the red hind grouper, is equipped with a drum shaped swim bladder acting as a monopole under typical ocean conditions. This configuration allows for what is understood to be omnidirectional projection of tones approximately centered between 40 and 440 Hz and …

Assessing Children’S Performance On The Facial Emotion Recognition Task With Familiar And Unfamiliar Faces: An Autism Study, Nathaniel Shanok

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2010 - 2019

Studies exploring facial emotion recognition (FER) abilities in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) samples have yielded inconsistent results despite the widely-accepted finding that an impairment in emotion recognition is a core component of ASD. The current study aimed to determine if an FER task featuring both unfamiliar and familiar faces would highlight additional group differences between ASD children and typically developing (TD) children. We tested the two groups of 4- to 8-year-olds on this revised task, and also compared their resting-state brain activity using electroencephalogram (EEG) measurements. As hypothesized, the TD group had significantly higher overall emotion recognition percent scores. In …

Behavioral And Electrophysiological Evidence For Hippocampal Involvement In Object Motion Processing In C57bl/6j Mice, Herborg Nanna Asgeirsdottir Jan 2017

Behavioral And Electrophysiological Evidence For Hippocampal Involvement In Object Motion Processing In C57bl/6j Mice, Herborg Nanna Asgeirsdottir

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2010 - 2019

Considerable research has been carried out to establish a rodent model for the study of human memory, yet functional similarities between the species remain up for debate. The hippocampus, a region deep within the medial temporal lobe of the mammalian CNS, is critical for long-term episodic memory. Projections from the medial entorhinal cortex convey spatial/contextual information, while projections from the lateral entorhinal cortex convey item/object information to the hippocampus. The functional significance of these parallel projections to the rodent hippocampus has been suggested to support spatial processing, while the same projections to the human hippocampus support spatial and non-spatial memory. …

Loneliness And Emotion Recognition: A Dynamical Description, Michele Stoehr Jan 2017

Loneliness And Emotion Recognition: A Dynamical Description, Michele Stoehr

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2010 - 2019

Loneliness – the feeling that manifests when one perceives one’s social needs are not being met by the quantity or especially the quality of one’s social relationships – is a common but typically short-lived and fairly harmless experience. However, recent research continues to uncover a variety of alarming health effects associated with longterm loneliness. The present study examines the psychological mechanisms underlying how persons scoring high in trait loneliness perceive their social environments. Evaluations of transient facial expression morphs are analyzed in R using dynamical systems methods. We hypothesize that, consistent with Cacioppo and Hawkley’s sociocognitive model, subjects scoring high …

Maternal Involvement In Math Homework And Its Influence On Adolescents’ Math Outcomes During The Transition To Middle School: Who Profits From Homework Assistance?, Daniel J. Dickson Jan 2017

Maternal Involvement In Math Homework And Its Influence On Adolescents’ Math Outcomes During The Transition To Middle School: Who Profits From Homework Assistance?, Daniel J. Dickson

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2010 - 2019

As adolescents transition to middle school, math confidence and performance declines (Eccles et al., 1993; Lee, Statuto, & Kadar-Voivodas, 1983). These declines are typically attributed to social and maturational changes (Eccles, Lord, & Midgley, 1991; Simmons & Blyth, 1987). In this dissertation, I explore the hypothesis that low parent support for schoolwork is also responsible. Latino-American adolescents are especially at risk for math difficulties. Maintaining adolescents’ engagement and performance in math are important goals for mothers because high levels of both are requisites for many professional careers. This dissertation will focus on Latino-American families to determine if mothers’ homework involvement …

Hackathons As Co-Optation Ritual: Socializing Workers And Institutionalizing Innovation In The “New” Economy, Sharon Zukin, Max Papadantonakis Jan 2017

Hackathons As Co-Optation Ritual: Socializing Workers And Institutionalizing Innovation In The “New” Economy, Sharon Zukin, Max Papadantonakis

Publications and Research

Hackathons, time-bounded competitive events where participants write computer code and build apps, have become a popular means of socializing tech students and workers to produce “innovation” despite little promise of material reward. Although they offer participants opportunities for learning new skills and face-to-face networking, and set up interaction rituals that create an emotional “high,” potential advantage is even greater for the events’ corporate sponsors, who use them to outsource work, crowdsource innovation, and enhance their reputation. Ethnographic observations and informal interviews carried out at seven public hackathons held in New York City during the course of a single school year …

Firm Social Network, Information Transfer And Information Environment, Avishek Bhandari Jan 2017

Firm Social Network, Information Transfer And Information Environment, Avishek Bhandari

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2010 - 2019

I investigate whether or not a firm’s social network size (also known as social capital) impacts the quality of its information environment. Following social capital theory, I posit three potential channels that help bring an informational advantage to wellconnected firms. First, well-connected firms are likely to have timely access to a broader set of information that affords them the opportunity to disclose this information. Second, a social network fosters trust among social peers, which promotes the transfer of more accurate information within that network. Third, well-connected executives and directors have greater reputational capital at stake, which may encourage them to …

Foundations Of A Scientific Cognitive Theory For Literary Criticism, John C. Bronsted Jan 2017

Foundations Of A Scientific Cognitive Theory For Literary Criticism, John C. Bronsted

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2010 - 2019

Based on Noam Chomsky’s argument that the faculty of language is primarily a tool of thought whose purpose is to interpret the world, this dissertation argues that reading literature provides a cognitive experience like John Gardner’s “Fictive Dream” that mimics our interpretive experience of the world. Literary experience exploits language as an epistemological faculty that makes aspects of the external world intelligible. Yet the faculty of language is also capable of evoking entirely mental worlds that do not reflect the mindexternal world. Because the literary experience is entirely mindinternal, even the cultural knowledge we bring into play for its understanding …

Home Range And Habitat Use Of Juvenile Green Turtlesin A Shallow Tidal Environment, Samuel Garcia Jan 2017

Home Range And Habitat Use Of Juvenile Green Turtlesin A Shallow Tidal Environment, Samuel Garcia

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2010 - 2019

In this dissertation, a novel approach to modeling the scattered field of a periodic corrugated cylinder, from an oblique incident planewave, is presented. The approach utilizes radial waveguide approximations for fields within the corrugations, which are point matched to approximated scattered fields outside of the corrugation to solve for the expansion coefficients. The point matching is done with TMz and TEz modes simultaneously, allowing for hybrid modes to exist. The derivation of the fields and boundary conditions used are discussed in detail. Axial and radial propagating modes for the scattered fields are derived and discussed. Close treatment is given to …
