Safe Zone Training, Adrienne Coleman

Gender and Sexual Orientation Education

A SafeZone or a safe space is where all people can bring their authentic selves and feel safe, welcome and included. It may be a classroom, an office, a person or an entire institution. The LGBTQIA+ SafeZone programs aim to increase the awareness, knowledge, and skills for individuals and address the challenges that exist when one wants to advocate for their LGBTQ+ peers, family members, friends, coworkers and for themselves.

The Right Of All Children To Grow Up With A Family Under International Law: Implications For Placement In Orphanages, Residential Care, And Group Homes, Eric Rosenthal

Buffalo Human Rights Law Review

This article describes the right of all children to live and grow up in a family as it has evolved thirty years after the adoption of the U.N. Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) and since the 2006 adoption of the U.N. Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD). The article examines the implications of this right for the millions of children placed in orphanages, residential care, and group homes around the world.

The CRC favors the placement of children with a family, but it does allow for the placement of children in "suitable institutions" when …

Maternal Work Hours And Childhood Obesity: Evidence Using Instrumental Variables Related To Sibling School Eligibility, Charles J. Courtemanche, Rusty Tchernis, Xilin Zhou

Economics Faculty Publications

This study exploits plausibly exogenous variation derived from the youngest sibling’s school eligibility to estimate the effects of maternal work on the weight outcomes of older children. We first show that mothers’ work hours increase gradually along both the extensive and intensive margins as the age of the youngest child rises, whereas mothers’ spouses’ work hours do not appear to be responsive. We develop an instrumental-variables model that shows that mothers’ work hours lead to larger increases in children’s body mass index z-scores and probabilities of being overweight/obese than those identified in previous studies. Subsample analyses find that the …

Toward An Understanding Of Behavioral And Sensory Experiences When Living With Dementia And Related Disorders: An Environmental Gerontology Perspective, Elizabeth K. Rhodus

Theses and Dissertations--Gerontology

Behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia create challenges for those living with neurodegenerative cognitive impairment and their care partners. Pharmacological approaches for treatment of challenging behaviors seen in dementia have limited success and serious side effects. Because of this, nonpharmacological approaches are being investigated with increasing frequency. Of particular interest are nonpharmacological approaches involving environmental stimulation to change behaviors. Success of such approaches relies on sensory processing systems, personal preferences, and environmental congruence. There is limited evidence describing behaviors of persons with cognitive impairment in relation to these components. Currently, there is no guiding model for implementation of environmental and …

Twitter And Food Well-Being: Analysis Of #Slowfood Postings Reflecting The Food Well-Being Of Consumers, Ruth Areli García-León

Global Media Journal México

This study examines how hashtag #SlowFood postings on social media site Twitter reflect the food well-being of consumers. 4102 tweets containing the hashtag #SlowFood were identified. Using interpretive content analysis, only 210 food-content messages in English language, from consumers were selected coded and interpreted. Displays of positive emotions and activities related with the slow food consumption on social media were found. By studying how consumers share their food well-being on social media, this research contributes to the understanding of food well-being and how it is practiced online.

Occupational Therapy In Community Corrections And Reentry: Program Implementation For Adult Males With Addiction, Cassandra E. Sankey

OT Student Capstones

The evolution of incarceration, or confinement, began in the 18th century with the Quakers, known as the Pennsylvania system, an isolation and penitence ideology (Penner, 1978). Later, the Auburn system was implemented in the 19th century, which embraced an approach of mental isolation (Penner, 1978). Today, citizens entrust the criminal justice system with the power to protect communities from individuals who commit crimes (Muñoz, Moreton, & Sitterly, 2016). Therefore, the United States criminal justice system diversified the supervision of lawbreakers based upon the severity of their crimes, such as jail, prison, probation, and parole. This has led to decades of …

Course Design - Sample Syllabus For An Environmental Exercise Physiology Course, Jason Ng

Q2S Enhancing Pedagogy

This is a syllabus for an Environmental Exercise Physiology course. In the course, students will explore the acute and chronic physiological responses to exercise in different physical environments as well as injuries and illnesses related to exercising in environmental extremes. Students should have completed prerequisite courses in anatomy, physiology, and exercise physiology prior to taking this course as the nature of the content depends on having a foundation in those prior courses. Topics that will be covered in this class include: heat stress and hydration strategies for exercise; cold air exposure, cold water immersion, and diving and hyperbaric physiology; training, …

The Influence Of Music On The Autistic Brain, Ananda Arvig

All Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Scientific and qualitative research studies explain how different activities can affect and impact the brain. Researchers look at brain and wave activity to help determine ways music can be used as a therapeutic and beneficial teaching technique. The information based on these studies shows emotional and physiological changes in human behavior, activity, and development. This thesis discusses how research tools and evidence-based research observes and measures ways music affects autistic and non-autistic brains. Brain research supports how music specifically impacts people with autism and explores diverse ways to incorporate music in educational settings.

Enhancing The Effectiveness Of Special Olympics Minnesota’S Health Promotion Programming, Avery R. Bajema, Laura Marie Hayes, Kelsey B. Kostreba, Shelly Winslow

All Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Nearly 3% of the world’s population have an intellectual disability. A link exists between intellectual disability and higher rates of chronic and preventable diseases, which is partially attributed to lack of health education geared toward individuals with intellectual disability. Health promotion programs can provide health-related resources and education. Health promotion programs are often standardized, making it challenging to meet the various learning needs of individuals with intellectual disability. Special Olympics is the largest organization that provides health-related programming for those with intellectual disability. In Minnesota, the Special Olympics branch known as Health Promotion has reported difficulty with meeting the goal …

A Qualitative Examination Of Vaccine Hesitancy Among Mothers, Alicia L. Benner, Annie Vasterling, Teia Wolter

All Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Vaccine hesitancy describes the reluctance to vaccinate or the delay of vaccines (World Health Organization [WHO], 2017a). Various factors contribute to vaccine hesitancy for patients (Salmon, Dudley, Glanz, & Somer, 2015), and multiple sources are used by patients to gain vaccine information (Salmon et al., 2015), making it difficult for healthcare providers to address vaccine hesitancy. This research was conducted to identify factors that cause mothers to be vaccine hesitant and information sources used to support the mothers’ vaccination beliefs. Phone interviews were conducted with twelve vaccine hesitant mothers. Participants were asked if the following factors contributed to their vaccine …
