Triple Hop For Distance As A Predictor Of Lower Extremity Performance In Firefighter Equipment, Sean M. Rogers, Zachary K. Winkelmann, Lindsey E. Eberman, Kenneth E. Games

International Journal of Exercise Science

International Journal of Exercise Science 12(6): 515-525, 2019. The objective of this study was to examine the predictive value of the Triple Hop for Distance (THD) physical performance test to assess lower extremity (LE) strength and power in individuals donning firefighter personal protective equipment (PPE). Thirty-one healthy participants completed the THD in firefighter PPE on both the dominant and non-dominant limb. Dependent variables included LE power (vertical jump height [cm]) on a jump mat, and LE strength of the quadriceps and hamstrings (peak torque [Nm]) on an isokinetic dynamometer. THD was a strong predictor of LE power on the dominant …

Musical Memos In Qualitative Inquiry: Creating Artful, Embodied And Salient Reflections, Dale Boyle, Lynn Butler-Kisber

The Qualitative Report

This article presents musical memoing as an arts-based reflective process and as a way to engage with and represent data in qualitative inquiry. Used in conjunction with more well-known approaches to data analysis (constant comparison and narrative analysis), musical memos serve to pull forth and highlight salient understandings emerging in the analyses. Moreover, musical memoing allows for the creation of concise yet holistic representations of the data, which can be performed in an embodied manner to enhance understanding of phenomena. The role of musical memoing is discussed within the context of a research study carried out at McGill University entitled, …

Efficacy Of Taurine Against Aluminum Maltolate-Induced Apoptosis In Sh-Sy5y Cells Via Reduction Of Oxidative Stress, Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress, And Mitochondrial Dysfunction, Bi-Yu Liu, Yuh-Ju Lee, Hsian-Chin Jen, Deng-Fwu Hwang

Journal of Marine Science and Technology–Taiwan

Aluminum (Al) is one of the most abundant elements on the earth’s crust and is used in various industrial applications. However, Al is known to be associated with various neurodegenerative diseases. Taurine is a free amino acid presents at high concentrations in the brain and is crucial for neuron development. Here, the protective effects of taurine against Al-induced neurotoxicity were investigated. Al, at a concentration of 600 M, induced apoptosis of and cell cycle arrest in human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells. Additionally, Al induced a 55% increase in the levels of reactive oxygen species and inhibited mitochondrial membrane potential up to …

Differing Effects Of Age And Starvation On Reproductive Performance In Drosophila Melanogaster, Er Churchill, C Dytham, Mdf Thom

School of Biological and Marine Sciences

Successful reproduction requires the completion of many, often condition-dependent, stages, from mate searching and courtship through to sperm transfer, fertilisation and offspring production. Animals can plastically adjust their investment in each stage according to the physical and social environment, their own condition, their future reproductive potential, and the condition of their partner. Here we manipulate age and condition, through a nutritional challenge early or late in life, of both male and female Drosophila melanogaster and measure the effects on courtship, mating, and fitness when paired with a standardized (unmanipulated) partner. Older males were slower to start courting and mating, and …

Faculty Publications

High Medicaid nursing homes (85% and higher of Medicaid residents) operate in resource-constrained environments. High Medicaid nursing homes (on average) have lower quality and poorer financial performance. However, there is significant variation in performance among high Medicaid nursing homes. The purpose of this study is to examine the organizational and market factors that may be associated with better financial performance among high Medicaid nursing homes. Data sources included Long-Term Care Focus (LTCFocus), Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services’ (CMS) Medicare Cost Reports, CMS Nursing Home Compare, and the Area Health Resource File (AHRF) for 2009-2015. There were approximately 1108 facilities …

Gender Inequality In Unpaid Domestic Housework And Childcare Activities And Its Consequences On Childbearing Decisions: Evidence From Iran, Mahmoud Ghazi Tabatabaei, Nader Mehri

Journal of International Women's Studies

The present study addressed gender inequality in unpaid domestic housework and childcare activities and its presumed impact on childbearing decisions in Iran. We used the second Iran’s Time Use Study (2014-2015), representing the urban population to investigate how the number of small children (aged seven and lower) affected the time devoted to unpaid domestic housework as well as childcare activities of urban employed couples in Iran.

The univariate analysis provided sufficient evidence of increasing workload with the number of small children for employed women, while men’s workload remained almost unchanged across all parities. The results indicated that an increase in …

Clinical and Translational Science Faculty Publications

Reports using computed tomography (CT) to estimate thigh skeletal muscle cross-sectional area and mean muscle attenuation are often difficult to evaluate due to inconsistent methods of quantification and/or poorly described analysis methods. This CT tutorial provides step-by-step instructions in using free, NIH Image J software to quantify both muscle size and composition in the mid-thigh, which was validated against a robust commercially available software, SliceOmatic. CT scans of the mid-thigh were analyzed from 101 healthy individuals aged 65 and older. Mean cross-sectional area and mean attenuation values are presented across seven defined Hounsfield unit (HU) ranges along with the percent …
