From The Civil War To Central High School The Legacy Of Richard Toombs, Rhonda Stewart

Theses and Dissertations

The United States of America experienced many changes between April 1861 and April 1961. The study of historical events during this time period is elevated when an individual family can be placed within the context of these events. The Civil War and the Central High Crisis are two events documented through the eyes of the Toombs family of Little Rock, Arkansas. Providing a personal glimpse of one family’s journey through this time period of American life adds to the collective knowledge of these historical events. It offers an alternate viewpoint of interpretation of the impact of these events on the …

Social Media: Its Effects On Female Digital Natives, Justine Ewald

Honors Capstones

With the presence and popularity of social media at a non-stop increase, there is a plethora of research aimed to decide if this digital world is positive or negative for society. This research takes a narrower approach as it looks at how social media specifically affects females who have grown up having access to and using it. Female digital natives are positively impacted by the relationships, self-concept, and body positiveness that social media builds. However, they are negatively impacted by the harmful effects that come from cyberbullying and self-image issues. Do the impacts of the positives outweigh the negatives, or …

Molecular Assay Optimization For Enhanced Detection Of Legionella Spp. In Passaic County, New Jersey, Paul Yoon

Seton Hall University Dissertations and Theses (ETDs)

Legionella spp. are gram-negative bacteria that are found in a wide range of freshwater environments such as lakes, streams, soil, and manmade water systems. The Legionella genera contains 58 species of bacteria and of them approximately half have been linked to human disease. Infection due to Legionella spp. is known as Legionellosis, which consists of Legionnaires’ disease and Pontiac fever. Legionnaires’ disease cases have been increasing in recent years and the CDC report 7,500 cases in 2017. Infection from Legionella occurs through inhalation of aerosolized water droplets and leads to infection of alveolar macrophages. Legionella pneumophila is responsible for 90% …

Exploring Knowledge, Attitudes And Practices Of Physical Therapists Regarding Lateral Wedge Insoles In Patients With Mild To Moderate Knee Osteoarthritis, Mashael Ghazi Alsobhi

Seton Hall University Dissertations and Theses (ETDs)

Statementof the problem: The implementation of lateral wedge insole (LWI) as a conservative treatment strategy for knee Osteoarthritis (OA) may be influenced by the knowledge, attitudes and practices ofhealthcareproviders, including physical therapists (PTs). Although the literature has identified thebiomechanicalfunction of insoles, little is known about the PTs’ knowledge, attitudes and practices and the likelihood of LWI adoption in their clinical practices. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to identify and understand the relationships that might exist between PTs’ knowledge, attitudes and practices andlikelihoodof LWI adoption as a cost-effective treatment approach.

Methods: The study design was descriptive, cross-sectional andcorrelational, utilizing …

Anomalous Stranski-Krastanov Growth Of (111)-Oriented Quantum Dots With Tunable Wetting Layer Thickness, Christopher F. Schuck, Simon K. Roy, Trent Garrett, Paul J. Simmonds

Materials Science and Engineering Faculty Publications and Presentations

Driven by tensile strain, GaAs quantum dots (QDs) self-assemble on In_0.52Al_0.48As(111)A surfaces lattice-matched to InP substrates. In this study, we show that the tensile-strained self-assembly process for these GaAs(111)A QDs unexpectedly deviates from the well-known Stranski-Krastanov (SK) growth mode. Traditionally, QDs formed via the SK growth mode form on top of a flat wetting layer (WL) whose thickness is fixed. The inability to tune WL thickness has inhibited researchers’ attempts to fully control QD-WL interactions in these hybrid 0D-2D quantum systems. In contrast, using microscopy, spectroscopy, and computational modeling, we demonstrate that for GaAs(111)A QDs, we …

Should We Flip The Script?: A Literature Review Of Deficit-Based Perspectives On First-Year Undergraduate Students’ Information Literacy, Tatiana Pashkova-Balkenhol, Mark Lenker, Emily Cox, Elizabeth Kocevar-Weidinger

Library Faculty Research

This mixed method systematic review considers recent literature on the information literacy (IL) skills of first-year undergraduate students. The review uncovers the following themes: faculty and librarians perceive first-year students as lacking IL skills; students have varying perceptions of their IL skills; assessment studies yield conflicting findings on first-year students' IL; communication between high school and college librarians is challenging; and some IL researchers emphasise and leverage first-year students' prior knowledge and experience in IL instruction. These themes emerge from extensive searches in four research databases for scholarly and professional articles written in English within the past ten years. With …

Local Radiance, Scott Peter Britell

Dissertations and Theses

Recent years have seen a proliferation of web applications based on content management systems (CMS). Using a CMS, non-technical content authors are able to define custom content types to support their needs. These content type names and the attribute names in each content type are typically domain-specific and meaningful to the content authors. The ability of a CMS to support a multitude of content types allows for endless creation and customization but also leads to a large amount of heterogeneity within a single application. While this meaningful heterogeneity is beneficial, it introduces the problem of how to write reusable functionality …

Eliminating Medication Errors In Nursing Practice With An Innovative Quality Improvement Tool Proposal, Zoe B. Talyor

Honors Capstones

If nursing students/nurses use a developed tool targeting and walking through of all 5 rights of medication administration, step by step, there will be a decrease in medication errors. The utmost goal that nurses hold in their practice is to provide the highest quality of care possible, in order to achieve the best patient outcomes. Many barriers exist when it comes to maintaining optimum quality of care. However, one that is extremely prevalent in today’s practice is related to errors with medication administration. Failure to complete any of the five rights to administration is considered a medication error. Whether it …

Emergent Airway Management Outside Of The Operating Room - A Retrospective Review Of Patient Characteristics, Complications And Icu Stay., Uzung Yoon, Jeffrey Mojica, Matthew Wiltshire, Kara Segna, Michael Block, Anthony Pantoja, Marc Torjman, Elizabeth Wolo

Department of Anesthesiology Faculty Papers

BACKGROUND: Emergent airway management outside of the operating room is a high-risk procedure. Limited data exists about the indication and physiologic state of the patient at the time of intubation, the location in which it occurs, or patient outcomes afterward.

METHODS: We retrospectively collected data on all emergent airway management interventions performed outside of the operating room over a 6-month period. Documentation included intubation performance, and intubation related complications and mortality. Additional information including demographics, ASA-classification, comorbidities, hospital-stay, ICU-stay, and 30-day in-hospital mortality was obtained.

RESULTS: 336 intubations were performed in 275 patients during the six-month period. The majority of …
