A Scoping Review Of Self-Awareness Instruments For Acquired Brain Injury, Danielle Mahoney, Sharon A. Gutman, Glen Gillen

The Open Journal of Occupational Therapy

Background: Self-awareness and insight are critical functions required to maintain safe and optimal participation in all daily life activities in a variety of environmental contexts. In the past two decades, occupational therapists have developed several psychometrically sound assessments designed to identify self-awareness and insight deficits in patients with neurological disorders. This scoping review identifies and evaluates key properties of such assessments to inform clinical practice.

Method: Multiple electronic databases were searched using the key search terms of “self-awareness” and “self-awareness assessment,” and “insight” and “insight assessment.” Included studies were original primary sources from the peer-reviewed journals.

10-Day Nutritional Assessment For 20 Year Old, Active Female, Emily Dyment

EXSI 432/532: Research Methods in Exercise Science: Research Proposal Posters

Food tracking has become an increasingly more popular method for individuals seeking to make changes in their dietary habits. According to Skinner et al., food tracking has proven its credibility,as individuals seem much more likely to initiate positive dietary changes when they are recording their daily food intake. Having said this, further knowledge is needed to allow individuals to make significant positive dietary changes. Specifically among at risk populations such as female college athletes. According to Skinner et al. increases in nutrition knowledge may result in significantly more desirable attitudes toward nutrition among female athletes (Skinner et al.,2001).

If Animals Are Like Our Children Let Us Treat Them Alike: Creating Tests Of An Animal's Intelligence For Determinations Of Legal Personhood, Paul J. Mclaughlin

Library Faculty Publications

The notion that animals could be granted rights under the law was once ridiculed, but now courts and legislatures have begun to move towards granting animals greater protections from cruelty and emotional trauma. Animal law as a course of study was not available in law schools until the early 1970's. It has since grown into a field of debate and study that has drawn in experts from around the world." The rules of law that treat animals as property have been fought by animal rights advocates as being archaic similarly to the laws that once allowed for slavery. Animal owners …

Leveraging Image Analysis For High-Throughput Plant Phenotyping, Sruti Das Choudhury, Ashok Samal, Tala Awada

School of Natural Resources: Faculty Publications

The complex interaction between a genotype and its environment controls the biophysical properties of a plant, manifested in observable traits, i.e., plant’s phenome, which influences resources acquisition, performance, and yield. High-throughput automated image-based plant phenotyping refers to the sensing and quantifying plant traits non-destructively by analyzing images captured at regular intervals and with precision. While phenomic research has drawn significant attention in the last decade, extracting meaningful and reliable numerical phenotypes from plant images especially by considering its individual components, e.g., leaves, stem, fruit, and flower, remains a critical bottleneck to the translation of advances of phenotyping technology into genetic …

Improving Connectivity Of The Androscoggin Greenway Trail, Rory Collins, Sarah Delany, Danielle Ward

Community Engaged Research Reports

In post-industrial cities, access to green spaces is often difficult to maintain. The implementation of greenway trails, marked segments following or linking natural spaces, is beneficial to communities due to the increase in spaces for outdoor recreation, public health benefits, and connecting neighborhoods in municipalities to resources using a safe and maintained public walkway. The Androscoggin Land Trust (ALT) and the City of Lewiston have identified a need for such a greenway trail along the Androscoggin River, as well as a concrete cost assessment and rubric to assess feasibility. In this report, we provide two proposed trail routes for a …

The Prevalence Of The Female Athlete Triad In Division 1 Athletes, Kylie E. Ameres

EXSI 432/532: Research Methods in Exercise Science: Research Proposal Posters

The Female Athlete Triad (FAT) is characterized by three individualized disorders that are present at the same time. Low energy availability with or without disordered eating, amenorrhea, and osteoporosis are the three components that make up the Female Athlete Triad. Due to the competitive nature and extreme exercise expenditure of female athletes at the Division 1 level, it is likely that these females are at a higher risk of experiencing the components of the Female Athlete Triad.

Program Proposal For Occupational Therapy In Post-Bariatric Surgery Aftercare Program, Deborah Ruediger

Occupational Therapy Collection

The focus of the poster presentation is to create a program proposal to include occupational therapy intervention after bariatric surgery to incorporate what the clients value in their occupations into a program that builds new and healthy habits. Most healthcare systems focus solely on the medical and nutritional aspects of weight loss after bariatric surgery. This focus limits the client as it does not address the modification of their occupations and maladaptive behaviors to ensure long-term success. Through the introduction of this program, the goal is to integrate occupational therapy as a standard of care post-bariatric surgery to ensure the …

Metabolic Adaptation During Infection In The Intestinal Parasite Entamoeba Histolytica: Roles Of Pfk Enzymes, Irem Bastuzel, Cheryl Ingram-Smith

Graduate Research and Discovery Symposium (GRADS)

Entamoeba histolytica is a water- and food-borne intestinal parasite that causes diarrheal disease in an estimated 90 million people each year worldwide. This pathogen encounters many different environments during infection and must adjust its metabolic activities specifically to that environment. Entamoeba lacks many common metabolic pathways and must ingest other cells to obtain many of the cellular building blocks such as amino acids that it cannot synthesize itself. E. histolytica relies on breakdown of the sugar glucose as the main means for obtaining energy. This is done through glycolysis, a metabolic pathway that is present in essentially all organisms. A …
