Developing A Measure Of Need To Matter, Kay Marie Hopkins Jan 2021

Developing A Measure Of Need To Matter, Kay Marie Hopkins

Education

In higher education research, staff is an overlooked group – especially staff that support academic areas of the university, such as advising, finance, IT, athletic academics, and libraries. Though institutions could not operate without these people, those individuals may feel like they do not matter to their work peers, department, institution, or profession. Mattering is feeling like you have significant existence in the world (Elliott, Kao, & Grant, 2004; Rosenberg & McCullough, 1981). Mattering is currently measured with self-report instruments that measure the perception of mattering. Knowing if staff feel like they matter is a critical measurement. It is only …

Follow The Scientists? How Beliefs About The Practice Of Science Shaped Covid-19 Views, Thomas G. Safford, Emily H. Whitmore, Lawrence C. Hamilton

Faculty Publications

“Follow the science” became the mantra for responding to COVID-19 pandemic. However, for the public this also meant “follow the scientists,” and this led to uneasiness as some viewed scientists as not credible. We investigate how beliefs about the way scientists develop their findings affect pandemic-related views. Our analysis shows that beliefs about scientists’ objectivity predict views regrading coronavirus-related risks, behavioral changes, and policy priorities. While political party identity also predicts views about COVID-19-related concerns, these vary by political leaders whose approaches embraced versus dismissed science based strategies, highlighting the importance of perceptions of scientists in shaping pandemic related attitudes …

Herbicide Screening In Industrial Hemp (Cannabis Sativa L.) Production, Joseph Eric Mettler Jan 2021

Herbicide Screening In Industrial Hemp (Cannabis Sativa L.) Production, Joseph Eric Mettler

Plant Sciences

Lack of labeled herbicides for industrial hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) production in the U.S. accentuates urgency to identify herbicides for weed control. Weed competition reduced seed yield by 25 to 32%. Pre- and post-emergence herbicide experiments were conducted to evaluate hemp tolerance to herbicides and support efforts for herbicide registrations. For post-emergence herbicides, hemp response to clopyralid (105 g ae ha-1) and bromoxynil (280 g ae ha-1) exhibited the lowest phytotoxicity, up to 38%, with no reduction of yield compared with the hand-weeded check. Pre-emergence herbicides were more viable options because pendimethalin (1120 g ai ha-1), trifluralin (840 g ai …

Genome-Wide Association Mapping And Genomic Prediction For Resistance To Sclerotinia Stem Rot In Rapeseed/Canola (Brassica Napus L.) Germplasm Collections, Jayanta Roy Jan 2021

Genome-Wide Association Mapping And Genomic Prediction For Resistance To Sclerotinia Stem Rot In Rapeseed/Canola (Brassica Napus L.) Germplasm Collections, Jayanta Roy

Plant Sciences

Sclerotinia stem rot (SSR), caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, is a devastating disease of rapeseed/canola that causes significant seed yield loss, reduced oil content, and quality. Lack of complete immune genotypes and polygenic resistance between host and pathogen often impedes the development of functional molecular markers and gene identification to enable SSR resistance breeding. However, genomics-assisted breeding approaches such as genome-wide association (GWA) mapping and genomic prediction (GP) are considered most promising for the genetic improvement of complex traits over classical breeding. Therefore, the objective of this study was to perform GWA mapping and GP in a diverse rapeseed/canola panel using …

Development Of Nano-Architecture Systems For High-Efficiency Tumor-Targeted Drug Delivery, Babak Mamnoon Jan 2021

Development Of Nano-Architecture Systems For High-Efficiency Tumor-Targeted Drug Delivery, Babak Mamnoon

Pharmacy

Breast cancer is the most common malignancy and the second leading cause of death among women in the United States. The commonly used breast cancer treatment strategies include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, and hormonal therapy. Since chemotherapeutic agents do not adequately differentiate between normal and cancerous cells, systemic toxicity and adverse effects associated with these anticancer drugs limit their therapeutic efficacy. In addition, uncontrolled cell proliferation and insufficient blood supply produce low oxygen partial pressure or hypoxia in almost all solid tumors. Hypoxia increases cancer cell survival through aggressiveness, metastasis, and resistance to chemotherapy, leading to poor clinical outcomes. Targeted drug …

Understanding The Role Of Receptor For Advanced Glycation Endproducts (Rage) In Pancreatic Cancer And Melanoma, Sakshi Taneja Jan 2021

Understanding The Role Of Receptor For Advanced Glycation Endproducts (Rage) In Pancreatic Cancer And Melanoma, Sakshi Taneja

Pharmacy

In this project we study the role of RAGE in the melanoma and pancreatic cancer progression. Based on published studies, we hypothesized that RAGE localization in melanoma varies with different cellular architectures. To test this hypothesis, we utilized an in vitro spheroid model and a lung colonization mice model to compare the RAGE localization in 3D architecture vs 2D monolayer culture. RAGE was found at the cell surface in WM115 and B16F10 spheroids, whereas RAGE is mostly distributed intracellularly in WM266. We also observed that RAGE is present at the surface of B16F10 melanoma cells within tumor nodules in the …

On Lasso Estimation Of Linear Mixed Model For High Dimensional Longitudinal Data, Qian Wen Jan 2021

On Lasso Estimation Of Linear Mixed Model For High Dimensional Longitudinal Data, Qian Wen

Statistics

With the advancement of technology in data collection, repeated measurements with high dimensional covariates have become increasingly common. The classical statistics approach for modeling the data of this kind is via the linear mixed model with temporally correlated error. However, most of the research reported in the literature for variable selection is for independent response data. In this study, the proposed algorithm employs Expectation and Maximization (EM) and Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) approaches under the linear mixed model scheme with the assumption of Gaussianity, an approach that works for data with interdependence. Our algorithm involves two steps: …

The Inkblot Re-Conceptualized: Developing An Implicit Situational Judgment Test Of Multiple Components Of Poor And Optimal Functioning, Roberta Linda Irvin

Psychology

Situation judgment tests (SJTs), which provide a balance between global personality measurement and context-specific social-cognitive processes, can be combined with implicit measurement approaches to limit some of the biases that are common in self-reports. Based on such considerations, the author developed an implicit SJT, called the Inkblot Scale, to investigate three components of optimal functioning – Happiness, Success, and Friendliness – that can be assessed from the same response set. Undergraduates completed the Inkblot Scale and various measures related to each component of optimal functioning (n = 184) before reporting their daily experiences and behaviors for two weeks (n = …

Measuring Infant Emotion Regulation Within The Still Face Procedure: A Novel Approach To Assessing Regulation Development In The Context Of Prenatal Maternal Stress, Angela Grace Beach Bagne Jan 2021

Measuring Infant Emotion Regulation Within The Still Face Procedure: A Novel Approach To Assessing Regulation Development In The Context Of Prenatal Maternal Stress, Angela Grace Beach Bagne

Psychology

A growing body of literature demonstrates that prenatal maternal stress (PNMS) can influence infant and child outcomes across developmental domains. The timing of PNMS exposure may be particularly important, and late PNMS has predicted poorer emotion regulation outcomes in infancy and childhood. Behavioral indicators and measures of emotion regulation have differed widely in the existing PNMS literature, however. Additionally, despite the well-established use of the Still Face Procedure (SFP) to assess emotion regulation and infant-maternal interactions in the regulatory process, it has not been used within the context of PNMS. In the current research, the SFP was used in conjunction …

Pollinator Response To Annual Forb Plantings And Self-Pollinating Dry Bean Crops In Agroecosystems, Savannah Shay Adams Jan 2021

Pollinator Response To Annual Forb Plantings And Self-Pollinating Dry Bean Crops In Agroecosystems, Savannah Shay Adams

Range Science

Intensive agricultural systems have had several ecological effects on the surrounding ecosystem, including contributing to widespread pollinator declines. In order to help supplement bee communities and potentially improve crop production, we set out to study annual forb plantings adjacent to dry bean crops to determine the pollinator response to both plantings and any potential effects on dry bean yield. We found that annual forb plantings provided continual floral resources throughout the sampling period, which can support bees and their pollination services in agroecosystems. We also found cross-pollination had no effect on dry bean yield in Carrington and a negative effect …

A Transnational Law Of The Sea, Josh Martin Jan 2021

A Transnational Law Of The Sea, Josh Martin

Chicago Journal of International Law

It is widely accepted that we are presently struggling to govern the vast expanse of the ocean effectively. This Article finally gets to the real cause of much of the failures of the law of the sea: Westphalian sovereignty. In particular, it evidences that certain features of our obstinate model of public international law—such as sovereign exclusivity, equality, and territoriality—can be linked with a large majority of the governance “gaps” in the global ocean context. It thereby exonerates the falsely accused Grotius’s mare liberum doctrine and flag state regulation, which both still continue to receive an unmerited level of condemnation. …

The First Exit-Time Analysis Of An Approximate Barndorff-Nielsen And Shephard Model, With Data Science-Based Applications In The Commodity Market, Shantanu Awasthi

Mathematics

In this dissertation, an approximate version of the Barndorff-Nielsen and Shephard model, driven by a Brownian motion and a Lévy subordinator, is formulated. The first-exit time of the log-return process for this model is analyzed. It is shown that with a certain probability, the first-exit time process of the log-return is decomposable into the sum of the first exit time of the Brownian motion with drift, and the first exit time of a Lévy subordinator with drift. Subsequently, the probability density functions of the first exit time of some specific Lévy subordinators, connected to stationary, self-decomposable variance processes, are studied. …

Adverse Childhood Experiences Among College Students: Best-Practice Recommendations For Student Health Clinicians, Rachel Marie Ostlund Jan 2021

Adverse Childhood Experiences Among College Students: Best-Practice Recommendations For Student Health Clinicians, Rachel Marie Ostlund

Nursing

Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are highly prevalent and considered a global public health crisis (Forgash, 2015). ACEs are associated with toxic stress resulting in severe impairment of the cardiovascular, endocrine, and immune systems (Asmussen et al., 2020). Consequently, the ten categories of ACEs have been linked to multiple risk factors for unhealthy behaviors and nine of the 10 leading causes of death in adults (Asmussen et al., 2020). A crucial component to mitigating the effects of ACEs is through identification of those exposed. Ideally, screening for ACEs occurs after the age of 18 years and prior to the onset of …
