Effects Of Anodal Tdcs On Neural Correlates Of Cognitive Control In Mild-To-Moderate Traumatic Brain Injury, Nickolas A. Mertens
Effects Of Anodal Tdcs On Neural Correlates Of Cognitive Control In Mild-To-Moderate Traumatic Brain Injury, Nickolas A. Mertens
Psychology ETDs
Traumatic brain injury is a worldwide epidemic and currently there is no successful treatment to combat the cognitive deficits sustained from a mmTBI. The goal of this analysis is to determine if active tDCS paired with cognitive training can aid in an individual’s recovery on one specific consequence of mmTBI: cognitive control. To examine this novel treatment on cognitive control, EEG was recorded, and FM-theta activity collected from electrode FCz was analyzed. Three analyses were run to address the hypotheses of the present study: 1. A cluster analysis; 2. A series of repeated-measures ANOVAs; and 3. A series of multiple …
Isotopic Evidence For Initial Coastal Colonization And Subsequent Diversification In The Human Occupation Of Wallacea, Patrick Roberts, Julien Louys, Jana Zech
Isotopic Evidence For Initial Coastal Colonization And Subsequent Diversification In The Human Occupation Of Wallacea, Patrick Roberts, Julien Louys, Jana Zech
KIP Articles
The resource-poor, isolated islands of Wallacea have been considered a major adaptive obstacle for hominins expanding into Australasia. Archaeological evidence has hinted that coastal adaptations in Homo sapiens enabled rapid island dispersal and settlement; however, there has been no means to directly test this proposition. Here, we apply stable carbon and oxygen isotope analysis to human and faunal tooth enamel from six Late Pleistocene to Holocene archaeological sites across Wallacea. The results demonstrate that the earliest human forager found in the region c. 42,000 years ago made significant use of coastal resources prior to subsequent niche diversification shown for later …

Rapid Review Of Community Engagement And Social Mobilization Strategies For Covid-19 Response: Study Description, Sarah Blake, Thoai Ngo
Poverty, Gender, and Youth
This project is a rapid review of evidence on interventions intended to mobilize community-level action to control infectious disease outbreaks in low resource and humanitarian contexts. The primary aims are to provide a critical analysis of current evidence on community engagement in preparing for or responding to infectious disease outbreaks and other emergencies; and to identify approaches and practices that can inform efforts to address COVID-19-related risks in low resource settings. In addition to documenting lessons and potential good practices from past crises, we will identify critical gaps in current evidence.

Birth Across Borders: Migueleña Maternal Experience In Palm Beach County, Florida, Inbal Mazar
Birth Across Borders: Migueleña Maternal Experience In Palm Beach County, Florida, Inbal Mazar
Maya America: Journal of Essays, Commentary, and Analysis
Dangers for pregnant Maya women in San Miguel Acatán, a highland hamlet in Huehuetenango, Guatemala are exceptionally high. Those who migrate to Palm Beach County, Florida also face significant risks during pregnancy. However, conceptualizing migrants as vulnerable and non-agentive dismisses the opportunity to explore other dimensions of migrant women experiences. Interviews with Migueleña mothers and midwives and health professionals and advocates in both regions revealed resilience strategies Migueleña migrants create and employ as they navigate linguistically and culturally foreign medical systems. The support they provide each other results in more positive maternal experiences under arduous circumstances. Over time, Migueleñas are …

Maya-Americanos En Casa: Los Efectos De La Migración De Guatemala A Los Eeuu En La Región Kaqchikel, Joyce Bennett, Ambrocia Cuma
Maya America: Journal of Essays, Commentary, and Analysis
Este artículo se trata de que significa ser Maya durante y después de migración a los EEUU desde el área Kaqchikel de Guatemala. Utilizando entrevistas con emigrantes retornados, historias de vida, e otras evidencias etnográficas, señalamos como la vida americana se integra en comunidades Kaqchikeles mayas tras procesos transnacionales. Sugerimos que los resultados de una vida maya-américa se integran en las comunidades de origen en formas que no son tan obvias pero que sí tienen impacto en la vida maya en los pueblos de origen. Por ejemplo, consideramos las relaciones de género dentro de casas en cual alguien se ha …

The Work Of Expert Testimony: Central Americans, Human Rights Defenders, And Immigration Courts, Allan F. Burns
Maya America: Journal of Essays, Commentary, and Analysis
Anthropologists have worked in legal arenas as experts on civil, criminal, and asylum cases throughout the history of the discipline. Today expert witnesses give opinions on the conditions of countries where immigrants flee, and that work includes ethnographic interviewing, research into the causes of political and social violence, and appearing in court through written affidavits and personal testimony. Expert testimony today includes helping in the defense of people fleeing intimate partner violence, persecution based on sexual orientation, threats and violence by gangs, and those whose political opinions put them at risk. Immigrants in the United States face institutional culture shock, …
Challenges For Maya Family Continuity In A Transbordered World, James Loucky, Katie Goger
Challenges For Maya Family Continuity In A Transbordered World, James Loucky, Katie Goger
Maya America: Journal of Essays, Commentary, and Analysis
Migration between Central America and countries to the north has increased in scale as well as in contentiousness as a political challenge. Too often, those most involved are peripheral to public discourse and policies. Today sizeable numbers of families, including indigenous Maya families, are participants not only in movement but as through separations across national borders and time. Evolving strategies for maintaining or recreating social cohesion amid disruptions of migration and resettlement involve parents as well as children. Drawing on experiences of families from one highland Guatemalan community, and comparative research into adaptive strategies of immigrant families in the United …
How Do Farmers Experience Agroecology In Rural Communities Of Northern Ecuador?, Neil Michael Ayala Ayala
How Do Farmers Experience Agroecology In Rural Communities Of Northern Ecuador?, Neil Michael Ayala Ayala
Latin American Studies ETDs
Agroecology, a concept in continuous evolution embraces science, practice and sociopolitical aspects. Its meaning is gaining space of debate and global interest as an alternative for building sustainable food systems and resilient communities, not only from the environmental perspective, but from all the dimensions of sustainability. The Andes region is recognized for its agrodiversity and for its history of agricultural activity; nevertheless, the effects of unsustainable agricultural practices inspired in the principles of the so called “Green Revolution” are evident. Conventional agriculture has decreased the capacity of resilience of the agroecosystems and their associated communities. Agroecology is often perceived as …

Gendered Collegiate Sports:Athlete-Student Or Student-Athlete?, Derek Bradley Eng
Silicon Valley Notebook
This study examined the effects of gendered sports programs on the academic success of college athletics using data from the 2003-2012 National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) survey and interviews with six athletic professionals. Data for the 2003-12 periods were disaggregated into two groups, 2003-2010 and 2011-2012, to capture the potential relevance of the Academic Progress Rates revisions made by NCAA in 2011. Programs that reported higher academic success rates received public recognition and fewer penalties. However, only larger male sports programs had lower academic success rates. Private, rather than public, institutions received more public approbation and had better academic success. …
Minority Status, Cumulative Disadvantage, And Health Consequences, Leslie E. Sapon
Minority Status, Cumulative Disadvantage, And Health Consequences, Leslie E. Sapon
Silicon Valley Notebook
Health disparities between minorities and non-minorities in the United States were explored using secondary data from the 2012 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (n=37,869) and supplemented by interviews with eight knowledgeable professionals. Effects of cumulative disadvantage (resources and social stability) on health status were different for minorities and non-minorities. The findings were supported by Berger’s expectation states theory and Cockerham’s Health Lifestyle, grounded in Durkheim and Merton’s theories of integration and added to the body of literature on minority health inequalities.
Health Implications Of Violent Crime Victimization And Resources, Emily Szabelski
Health Implications Of Violent Crime Victimization And Resources, Emily Szabelski
Silicon Valley Notebook
This study explored the health consequences of violent crime. Experiences from a subset of 1059 violence victims who responded to the 2010 National Crime Victimization Survey were examined to consider factors that may affect poorer health outcomes for some victims. Supported by Agnew’s Strain Theory, regression analysis found that victims who required medical attention, had weapons used in the attacks, and had close relationship with the attacker experienced more mental and physical health problems. Findings about these “strains” contributed to the body of literature on the victimology of violent crimes. Ten professionals, who were interviewed for this study, emphasized that …
Family, Intimate Partners, And Adult Self-Concept, Danae Vanessa Dickson
Family, Intimate Partners, And Adult Self-Concept, Danae Vanessa Dickson
Silicon Valley Notebook
This study evaluated the ways family (in childhood and adulthood) and romantic relationships differentially affected the self-concept of those raised in traditional and non-traditional families. Analyses of survey data from the 2012 New Family Structures survey (n=2,765, a subset of the original 15,058 respondents), and interviews with eight helping professionals, revealed that romantic relationships were the most relevant for positive adult self-concept, irrespective of early family structure. These findings reinforced the Chicago school of symbolic interactionism and self-concept. However, childhood family, and to some extent romantic relationships, were more influential for the self-concept of those who grew up in traditional …

“Children’S Health: Family, Social Environment, And Child Activity”, Anna Garvey
Silicon Valley Notebook
This research studied the effects of children’s activities, family and social environments on their health. Results from the National Survey of Children’s Health (2011- 2012), supplemented by qualitative interviews with seven child development professionals, revealed that while children’s activities promoted health, parental control and distressed neighborhoods worsened it. These findings were supported by a set of theories, including Social Interactionism and Ecological Systems, and added to the literature on children’s health in today’s digital world.
Manipulation Of Human Behavior By Sexually Transmitted Organisms: Sto Infection Status As A Predictor Of Later Sexual Behavior, Ruth Sarafin
Manipulation Of Human Behavior By Sexually Transmitted Organisms: Sto Infection Status As A Predictor Of Later Sexual Behavior, Ruth Sarafin
Psychology ETDs
Research into the epidemiology of sexually transmitted organisms has found a strong relationship between number of sexual partners and likelihood of infection; STO interventions have therefore focused on reducing number of sexual partners. However, this work assumes that multiple partnerships cause infection, when there is reason to believe that infection causes an increase in short-term mating behavior as a means of increasing transmission opportunities. This dissertation tests STO infection status as a predictor in follow-up sexual behavior on data from the National Longitudinal Study from Adolescent to Adult Health (Add Health). Four dependent variables related to short-term mating were regressed …

Tracing The Cultural Influence And Linguistic Journey Of 4 Mind-Related Science Fiction Words, Hannah Rose Langsdorf
Tracing The Cultural Influence And Linguistic Journey Of 4 Mind-Related Science Fiction Words, Hannah Rose Langsdorf
Honors College Theses
Many commonly used words in the English language originated in science fiction or else have been popularized by use in science fiction works. This paper examines the historical, linguistic, and cultural voyage of four words: empath, hive mind, hypnopaedia, and mindlink. These four words are all related to the mind and parapsychology. Magazines, books, and materials from Google books are examined to trace the journey of these words through science fiction and out into the “real world”, if they make it there. Google Ngram is the central tool in this research. The paper examines Ngram graphs and attempts to explain …
Wai Puna: An Indigenous Model Of Māori Water Safety And Health In Aotearoa, New Zealand, Chanel Phillips Ph.D.
Wai Puna: An Indigenous Model Of Māori Water Safety And Health In Aotearoa, New Zealand, Chanel Phillips Ph.D.
International Journal of Aquatic Research and Education
Māori (the indigenous peoples of Aotearoa, New Zealand) are intimately connected to wai (i.e., water) yet are overrepresented in New Zealand’s drowning statistics each year. On average Māori account for 20-24% of all preventable and non-preventable drowning fatalities, despite comprising only 15 percent of New Zealand’s population. Drowning remains a significant issue posing a threat to whānau (i.e., families) through premature death being imminent and whakapapa (i.e., genealogy) being interrupted. There is limited research that has examined Māori and indigenous understandings of water safety within the literature and limited studies that have investigated the issue of Māori drowning from a …

Study Abroad And Liminality: Examining U.S. American Undergraduate Risky Behavioral Choices Betwixt And Between Borders, Jill L. Creighton
Study Abroad And Liminality: Examining U.S. American Undergraduate Risky Behavioral Choices Betwixt And Between Borders, Jill L. Creighton
Public Policy & Administration Student Work
This original research, conducted for a dissertation completed in partial fulfillment for the degree of Doctor of Public Administration, sought to investigate whether collegiate, traditionally aged, undergraduate student risky behavioral choices rose during the study abroad experience as compared to when in the home collegiate environment. After investigating the literature related to domestic risky behavior, collegiate study abroad, and the intersections of tourism, an opportunity to connect these phenomena materialized. The anthropological concept of liminality served as the theoretical perspective that anchored the construction of this research. This study was conducted using a post-positivist epistemology, a non-experimental design, and an …

When And How Does Law Effectively Reduce The Practice Of Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting?, Josephine Wouango, Susan L. Ostermann, Daniel Mwanga
Reproductive Health
Female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C) is recognized globally as carrying risks to both the physical and psychological health of girls and women and is widely considered a violation of human rights. An estimated 200 million girls and women in 30 countries have undergone FGM/C and as many as 30 million girls younger than 15 years of age are at risk. A common policy response to FGM/C is to call for the enactment and enforcement of criminal prohibitions on the practice. Yet, compliance with laws is complex: it can be motivated and undercut by moral, social, religious, and incentive-based factors. The study …

Hair: How Naturals Are Using Social Media To Reshape The Narrative And Visual Rhetoric Of Black Hair, Shari E. Drumond
Hair: How Naturals Are Using Social Media To Reshape The Narrative And Visual Rhetoric Of Black Hair, Shari E. Drumond
All HCAS Student Capstones, Theses, and Dissertations
Black women’s natural hair has been subject to both praise and scrutiny, though the latter is more common despite the steps taken towards inclusion and diversity. In the age of social media, members of the natural hair community have been able to voice and communicate ideas and issues that are specific to their discourse community. This study explores how the natural hair community uses social media, more specifically Instagram, to discuss the complex issues that surround natural hair including historicization, workplace bias, colorism, and social justice. Additionally, this study argues that natural hair is a form of visual rhetoric as …
Cosmopolitan Imagination In Salman Rushdie And Ha Jin, Zhenling Li
Cosmopolitan Imagination In Salman Rushdie And Ha Jin, Zhenling Li
Lingnan Theses (MPhil & PhD)
Indian subcontinent postcolonial diaspora and Chinese diaspora constitute two of the most remarkable types of diaspora in the modern era. In order to gain a better understanding of contemporary diasporic experience, this study chooses from each group one of the most representative diasporic writers—Salman Rushdie and Ha Jin respectively—and analyses their fictional writings within the theoretical framework of cosmopolitanism, a concept closely related to transnational experience of contemporary diaspora. In view of their wide spectrum of diasporic writing and the distinct transitions made in terms of subject matter in the latter phase of their respective careers, this study divides the …
