The Plastic Crisis Goes Public: Representations Of Plastic Pollution In Environmental Media, Savannah Geary Dec 2019

The Plastic Crisis Goes Public: Representations Of Plastic Pollution In Environmental Media, Savannah Geary

Open Access Theses

Plastic pollution emerged as a landmark environmental issue in the last few years, and as such, has appeared in environmental media. This thesis examines the representations of plastic pollution in environmental communication campaigns, social media of Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), environmental campaigns created by the advertising industry, corporate environmentalism efforts, and media from concerned individuals. While plastic materials began as a way to mimic materials found in nature, their ubiquity, heavy promotion from petrochemical companies, and widespread adoption as single-use disposables outpaced waste disposal measures. NGOs and nonprofits unite under networked environmental campaigns, invoke agenda-setting theory, and favor framing that features …


Predicting Hiv Transmissions From Syndemic Factors In A Large Clinic-Based Sample, Satyanand Satyanarayana Dec 2019

Predicting Hiv Transmissions From Syndemic Factors In A Large Clinic-Based Sample, Satyanand Satyanarayana

Open Access Theses

Background: The theory of syndemics—whereby synergism between co-occurring psychosocial epidemics exacerbates health outcomes—has informed efforts to quantify the risk of contracting HIV, but it has rarely been used to quantify HIV transmission risk among people living with HIV (PLWH). To improve treatment as prevention (TasP) efforts, greater insight is needed about how syndemic factors influence viral suppression and biobehavioral transmission risk behavior among PLWH. Method: Data were from 14,261 PLWH receiving care through the Centers for AIDS Research Network of Integrated Clinical Systems at seven sites from 2007 to 2017. Syndemic factors (depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms, drug use, and alcohol …


Physical And Chemical Researches Of The Relaxol Series Of Cement Composition With Complex Chemical Additive Kdj-3, N A. Samigov, A T. Djalilov, M. U. Karimov, Z. M. Sattorov, U. N. Samigov, B. Q. Mirzayev Dec 2019

Physical And Chemical Researches Of The Relaxol Series Of Cement Composition With Complex Chemical Additive Kdj-3, N A. Samigov, A T. Djalilov, M. U. Karimov, Z. M. Sattorov, U. N. Samigov, B. Q. Mirzayev

Scientific-technical journal

To study the process of structure formation of the cement composition, the method of infrared spectroscopy, X-ray phase analysis and electron microscopy were used. With the help of mechanical mixing it is difficult to provide the binder with the right amount of water. This task is performed by a complex additive, improving the wettability of cement particles. By reducing the content of calcium hydroxide, the possibility of the formation and existence of polybasic calcium hydroaluminates decreases. This circumstance prevents the formation of calcium hydrosulfonate (GSAC) in the later periods of hardening. On electron micrographs of cement stone samples with the …

Analysis Of Electrical Parameters Of The Ionization System At High Frequency Currents, X T. Yuldashev Dec 2019

Analysis Of Electrical Parameters Of The Ionization System At High Frequency Currents, X T. Yuldashev

Scientific-technical journal

The influence of the physical characteristics of the elements of the ionization system semiconductor-gas discharge gap on its sensitivity and the quality of the images is considered. An analysis of the patterns of image formation based on experimental studies and theoretical estimates showed that the high-frequency mode of the supply voltage determines the relatively low efficiency of modulation of the current by the input illumination, which is a consequence of the increasing role of the capacitive component of the conductivity of the photodetector at high frequencies and an increase in the resistance of the recording part (emulsion ) at low …

Information Systems and Engineering Management Research Publications

As part of the Panchromatic Exoplanet Treasury program, we have conducted a spectroscopic study of WASP-79b, an inflated hot Jupiter orbiting an F-type star in Eridanus with a period of 3.66 days. Building on the original WASP and TRAPPIST photometry of Smalley et al., we examine Hubble Space Telescope (HST)/Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) (1.125–1.650 μm), Magellan/Low Dispersion Survey Spectrograph (LDSS)-3C (0.6–1 μm) data, and Spitzer data (3.6 and 4.5 μm). Using data from all three instruments, we constrain the water abundance to be −2.20 ≤ log(H2O) ≤ −1.55. We present these results along with the results of an atmospheric …

Stacy Remke Oral History. Dec 2019

Stacy Remke Oral History.

Pediatric Palliative Care Oral History Project

Ms. Stacy Remke begins the interview by describing her initial career path in social work around aging and how she came to develop her interest in care planning for pediatric end of life needs. Ms. Remke then describes her observation that both providers and parents would not have meaningful discussions about the realities and practicalities of children who were seriously ill or dying. She also noticed that providers were resistant to utilizing hospice services for seriously ill pediatric patients and that they expressed sentiments like "you'll take care of my patients over my dead body." Ms. Remke then describes the …


Fundamental Drivers Of Dissolved Organic Matter Composition Across An Arctic Effective Precipitation Gradient, Anne M. Kllerman, Ana Arellano, David C. Podgorski, Ellen E. Martin, Jonathan B. Martin, Kelly M. Deuerling, Thomas S. Bianchi, Robert G. M. Spencer Dec 2019

Fundamental Drivers Of Dissolved Organic Matter Composition Across An Arctic Effective Precipitation Gradient, Anne M. Kllerman, Ana Arellano, David C. Podgorski, Ellen E. Martin, Jonathan B. Martin, Kelly M. Deuerling, Thomas S. Bianchi, Robert G. M. Spencer

Geography and Geology Faculty Publications

The standard model for aquatic ecosystems is to link hydrologic connectivity to dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentration and dissolved organic matter (DOM) composition and, ultimately, reactivity. Studies across effective precipitation gradients have been suggested as models for predicting how carbon cycling will change in Arctic aquatic ecosystems with projected drying (i.e., reduced hydrologic connectivity). To evaluate links between DOM dynamics and hydrologic connectivity, 41 stream samples from Greenland were analyzed across an effective precipitation gradient for DOM optical properties and elemental composition using ultrahigh-resolution mass spectrometry. Sites with negative effective precipitation and decreased hydrologic connectivity exhibited elevated specific conductivity (SpC) …

Study The South Essay Examines Whitney Plantation, Rebecca Lauck Cleary

Blog Posts

In the latest Study of the South essay, Sarah Payne looks at how recent representations of slavery have provoked discussions about who should represent black pain and oppression and what purpose such representations serve. The tour of Whitney Plantation, which opened in 2014 in Wallace, Louisiana, stands out as the only plantation tour in the US dedicated to depicting the antebellum South entirely from the perspective of former slaves.

Reflection On Use Of The "Reacting To The Past" Pedagogy In A History Of Mathematics Course, Davida Fischman

Q2S Enhancing Pedagogy

This brief report provides a reflection on the use of the "Reacting to the Past" (RTTP) pedagogy in a History of Mathematics classroom. The conclusion is drawn that the RTTP pedagogy is very successful in engaging students in active learning, and appropriate games may be utilized to help students learn about the role of mathematics in historical developments as well as in society today.
