The Impact Of Within-Day Work Breaks On Daily Recovery Processes: An Event-Based Pre-/Post-Experience Sampling Study, Ze Zhu, Laruen Kuykendall, Xichao Zhang Nov 2018

The Impact Of Within-Day Work Breaks On Daily Recovery Processes: An Event-Based Pre-/Post-Experience Sampling Study, Ze Zhu, Laruen Kuykendall, Xichao Zhang

Psychology Faculty Publications

Research on recovery from work stress has emphasized the importance of within-day work breaks. However, prior research has not been designed and analysed in a way that fully aligns with the processes described by the underlying theoretical framework (i.e., the effort-recovery model). The current paper examines the effects of within-day work breaks on recovery using an event-based pre-/post (EBPP)-design, in a way that more fully captures the recovery process as described by the effort-recovery model. We also included designs used in previous studies (i.e., an interval-based design and an event-based design without pre-break strain measures) to demonstrate the differences between …

Health and Kinesiology Faculty Publications

Little is known about vascular mitochondrial respiratory function and the impact of age. Therefore, skeletal muscle feed arteries were harvested from young (33 ± 7 yr, n = 10), middle-aged (54 ± 5 yr, n = 10), and old (70 ± 7 yr, n = 10) subjects, and mitochondrial respiration as well as citrate synthase (CS) activity were assessed. Complex I (CI) and complex I + II (CI+II) state 3 respiration were greater in young (CI: 10.4 ± 0.8 pmol·s−1·mg−1 and CI+II: 12.4 ± 0.8 pmol·s−1·mg−1, P < 0.05) than middle-aged (CI: 7 ± 0.6 pmol·s−1·mg−1 and CI+II: 8.3 ± 0.5 pmol·s−1·mg−1) and old (CI: 7.2 ± 0.4 pmol·s−1·mg−1 and CI+II: 7.6 ± 0.5 pmol·s−1·mg−1) subjects and, as in the case of complex II (CII) state 3 respiration, were inversely correlated with age [r = −0.56 (CI), r = −0.7 (CI+II), and r = 0.4 (CII), …

Standardized Patients To Increase Empathy Of Nursing Students: A Mixed Methods Study, Jodi Patterson Nov 2018

Standardized Patients To Increase Empathy Of Nursing Students: A Mixed Methods Study, Jodi Patterson

Nursing Theses and Dissertations

The importance of empathy in undergraduate nursing education is undeniable yet scholars from multiple disciplines struggle with a precise definition. Unfortunately, empathy is on the decline nationally, particularly with traditional college-aged individuals. An additional challenge to the empathy of healthcare professionals is caring for individuals with alcohol use disorders due to the difficult nature of the symptomatology. Simulation with standardized patients is frequently used to evaluate the empathy of health care professional students. However, little evidence exists regarding simulation with standardized patients and empathy of nursing students towards individuals with an alcohol use disorder.

Concept analysis is often used to …

Temporal Changes In The Diversity And Composition Of Tropical Andean Forest Communities, Claudia Andrea Aparicio-Chavez Nov 2018

Temporal Changes In The Diversity And Composition Of Tropical Andean Forest Communities, Claudia Andrea Aparicio-Chavez

Theses

During the last few thousand years, human population growth and resource use has been reshaping the planet’s nutrient cycles, climate and biodiversity and might be causing significant changes to spatial and temporal patterns in the distribution of species, and a general erosion of biodiversity at global scales. Many studies have been looking to model and predict how species could respond to actual rates of change on environmental conditions, with a high interest in terms of species distribution and richness with potential extinctions. However, how global change impact local communities still remains unclear. Moreover, previous research suffers from a significant bias …

A Rapid And Sensitive System For Recovery Of Nucleic Acids From Mycobacteria Sp. On Archived Glass Slides, Balkis A. Talip, William J. Snelling, Roy D. Sleator, Colm Lowery, James S.G. Dooley

Department of Biological Sciences Publications

The field of diagnostics continues to advance rapidly with a variety of novel approaches, mainly dependent upon high technology platforms. Nonetheless much diagnosis, particularly in developing countries, still relies upon traditional methods such as microscopy. Biological material, particularly nucleic acids, on archived glass slides is a potential source of useful information both for diagnostic and epidemiological purposes. There are significant challenges faced when examining archived samples in order that an adequate amount of amplifiable DNA can be obtained. Herein, we describe a model system to detect low numbers of bacterial cells isolated from glass slides using (laser capture microscopy) LCM …

Comparison Of Germline Versus Somatic Bap1 Mutations For Risk Of Metastasis In Uveal Melanoma., K. G. Ewens, E. Lalonde, J. Richards-Yutz, C. L. Shields, A. Ganguly

Wills Eye Hospital Papers

BACKGROUND: Germline mutations in BAP1 have been associated with BAP1-Tumor Predisposition Syndrome (BAP1-TPDS), a predisposition to multiple tumors within a family that includes uveal melanoma (UM), cutaneous melanoma, malignant mesothelioma and renal cell carcinoma. Alternatively, somatic mutations in BAP1 in UM have been associated with high risk for metastasis. In this study, we compare the risk of metastasis in UM that carry germline versus somatic BAP1 mutations and mutation-negative tumors.

METHODS: DNA extracted from 142 UM and matched blood samples was sequenced using Sanger or next generation sequencing to identify BAP1 gene mutations.

RESULTS: Eleven of 142 UM (8%) carried …

Constructing A Data-Based Mortality Profile For Avian Tower Kills At Telecommunication Towers In Illinois, Rachel Dipietro Nov 2018

Constructing A Data-Based Mortality Profile For Avian Tower Kills At Telecommunication Towers In Illinois, Rachel Dipietro

Theses and Dissertations

During spring and fall seasons, Neotropical migratory passerines travel nocturnally across the Western Hemisphere between their wintering and breeding grounds, often encountering man-made threats. One hazard that has gained considerable publicity in recent decades is the communication tower. While there have been many tower kill studies recorded, there has been no attempt at predicting the risk of towers based on their different attributes (e.g., height, type of light, landscape placement) spatially on a regional scale. The objective of this study was to create seasonal mortality profile maps in GIS for Illinois, based on tower attributes combined with key factors such …

The Role Of Epistemic Beliefs About Authority And Source Presence On Multiple Text Comprehension, Erica Kessler Nov 2018

The Role Of Epistemic Beliefs About Authority And Source Presence On Multiple Text Comprehension, Erica Kessler

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

The current research examined the role of epistemic beliefs about authority as well as source presence influence multiple text comprehension. Our sample was insensitive to our manipulation of source information availability (no source information, source information, embedded source information), however, several interesting relationships between the individual differences and measures of multiple text comprehension were observed. Prior knowledge was positively related to accurate essay information as well as source mentions in essays and rank-order justifications. In addition, justification by authority beliefs emerged as a positive predictor of source mentions in essays. Misconceptions about vaccines emerged a negative predictor of inclusion of …
