Home Economics And Food Literacy: An Investigation Into The Factors Influencing The Effective Delivery Of Food Literacy Curricula In Irish Post Primary Schools As Perceived By Key Stakeholders, Aisling Geraghty

Dissertations

In 2018 the new Junior Cycle specification for home economics was introduced. This year also saw the recommendation by the Irish State to make home economics compulsory for all Junior Cycle students. Home economics is a multifaceted, inter disciplinary subject that seeks to empower students with the skills to cultivate reflective, critical decision-making abilities they require to deal with practical perennial problems. Food literacy exists as a key contextual strand to home economics, and to this new Junior Cycle curriculum in particular. This study seeks to identify influences, both positive and negative, that impact on the effective delivery of food …

Adopting A Systematic Approach To Tasting Cider Within The Irish Craft Cider Industry, Richie Brady Jan 2021

Adopting A Systematic Approach To Tasting Cider Within The Irish Craft Cider Industry, Richie Brady

Dissertations

Craft cider-makers produce less than 1% of Irish cider which is a significantly smaller percentage than craft producers in other beverage markets. This study contextualises Irish cider’s importance by exploring its rich history in Gaelic and Georgian Ireland. It then examines how that importance is not reflected in today’s market and posits that introducing a new systematic approach to tasting will enable cider to be viewed beyond what many see as a cheap, simple summer drink. A systematic approach to tasting is a structured and repeatable method of describing taste using a lexicon of agreed words. Unlike other drinks, such …

Gene Alteration In Zebrafish Exposed To A Mixture Of Substances Of Abuse☆, Bikram Subedi, Sydni Anderson, Tara L. Croft, Eric C. Rouchka, Mei Zhang, Dena Weinberger

Faculty & Staff Research and Creative Activity

A recent surge in the use and abuse of diverse prescribed psychotic and illicit drugs necessitates the surveillance of drug residues in source water and the associated ecological impacts of chronic exposure to the aquatic organism. Thirty-six psychotic and illicit drug residues were determined in discharged wastewater from two centralized municipal wastewater treatment facilities and two wastewater receiving creeks for seven consecutive days in Kentucky. Zebrafish (Danio rerio) larvae were exposed to the environmental relevant mixtures of all drug residues, all illicit drugs, and all prescribed psychotic drugs. The extracted RNA from fish homogenates was sequenced, and differentially …

The Viability Of Selected Potassium Solubilizing Rhizobacteria In A Mixture Of K-Feldspar And Organic Matter As Carrier Material, Diyan Herdiyantoro, Tualar Simarmata, Mieke R. Setiawati, Nenny Nurlaeny, Benny Joy, Mahfud Arifin, J S. Hamdaniand, Iin P. Handayani

Faculty & Staff Research and Creative Activity

The potassium solubilizing biofertilizer based on selected potassium solubilizing bacteria (KSB) can facilitate availability of potassium in primary silicate minerals containing potassium to be absorbed by the plants. The key to successful application of biofertilizer in showing positive effects on inoculated plants is the selection of a carrier material that can guarantee viability of inoculants during shelf life before being applied in the field. The purpose of this study was to determine viability of three selected KSB isolates which were formulated in a mixture of K-feldspar (KF), rice straw compost (RSC), rice husk biochar (RHB), and Aleksandrov liquid medium (ALM) …

Hydration And Nutrition During Labor, Muna Abdi, Katie Cooper Jan 2021

Hydration And Nutrition During Labor, Muna Abdi, Katie Cooper

All Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Background/Purpose: Historically women have birthed in their own homes. As birth moved to the hospital, concerns surrounding gastric aspiration following general anesthesia led to restrictive intake policies for laboring women. Current professional recommendations vary regarding nutritional intake in labor. The purpose of this paper is to determine whether there are differences in maternal outcomes when different forms of hydration and nutrition are used during labor. Theoretical Framework: Neuman’s Systems Model was the theoretical framework used to guide the research process. This model includes four systems (client-client, environment, health, and nursing) which work together to promote holistic wellness. Methods: A thorough …

Implementing A Health And Wellness Program For Low Income Children And Their Families: A Community Outreach Program, Kailey Ann Geib, Hannah N. Moland, Emily Nicole Nelson

All Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Low income status has been proven to have negative effects on overall health, such as increased prevalence of chronic diseases and poor childhood development (Gupta, de Wit, & McKeown, 2007). Children living in communities of this status often do not have access to healthy foods or exercise facilities in comparison to middle and upper class children (Gupta, de Wit, & McKeown, 2007). Enhancement of education on these topics has the ability to combat the risk for poor health outcomes. A health and wellness program called SMILE was created and implemented at a child care center, called Carol Mathey’s Center for …

Impact Of Relative Age On Need For Special Education Services, Leonie Giles Jan 2021

Impact Of Relative Age On Need For Special Education Services, Leonie Giles

All Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This thesis consists of a literature review of research on a potential correlation between a student's birthdate, age upon entry into kindergarten, and the potential need for special education services while in elementary school. Results were mixed on the benefits of delaying entry into school. While results appeared contradictory at times, closer analysis indicates that benefits depend on the individual, on the presence of a disability, the gender, and socio-economic status, and on when a student is born. Students born in the months directly preceding kindergarten eligibility are at a disadvantage when compared to those born right after the cut-off …

Evaluating The Impact Of Volunteer And Facility Provided Doula Support In The Intrapartum Period On Maternal, Neonatal, And Psychosocial Outcomes In The Hospital Setting, Kayla Puent, Keirsta Marie Ragels

All Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Background/Purpose: The unacceptably high maternal mortality rate in the United States has demanded a call to action for evaluation and implementation of efforts to improve both maternal and neonatal outcomes. Low-resource and low-socioeconomic populations are at a higher risk of experiencing adverse birth outcomes. Doulas have continuously been recognized as key tools in improving outcomes, but not all birthing persons have access to them. The positive impact of continuous labor support in improving outcomes is recognized by the American College of Obstetricians, American College of Nurse-Midwives, the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine, and the March of Dimes. The purpose of this …

The Effects Of Socialization On The Progression Of Dementia, Caitlyn Hagstrom, Ashley G. Heppner, Katelyn N. Kunde Jan 2021

The Effects Of Socialization On The Progression Of Dementia, Caitlyn Hagstrom, Ashley G. Heppner, Katelyn N. Kunde

All Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Dementia is an umbrella term for a group of disorders marked by a decline from baseline in memory, executive function, and other cognitive functions such as reasoning, handling complex tasks, and spatial orientation, all of which interferes with activities of daily living and independence (Larson, 2019). Current pharmaceutical management of dementia and related symptoms is limited (Press & Alexander, 2019b). As dementia progresses, the cognitive skills required to maintain social interactions and familial relationships decline, therefore affecting the perceived loneliness and isolation of the person living with dementia. This research was conducted to understand the role of socialization in the …

Mitigating Mitochondrial Dysfunction In The Insulin Resistant Phenotype: A Ketogenic Diet And Intermittent Hypoxia, William Christian Grillo, Joshua Pinson, Bethany K. Tangen

All Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Chronic disease currently affects 45%, nearly half, of all persons in the United States (Raghupathi & Raghupathi, 2018). A systemic, cellular etiology of chronic disease has been proposed: literature supports the mechanism of a universal cell danger response (CDR) (Naviaux, 2019). The hallmark of the CDR, the shift in metabolism to anaerobic glycolysis, is initiated by altered functionality of the mitochondria (Naviaux, 2019). Current research on mitochondrial dysfunction has demonstrated that a hypoxic intervention has successfully increased longevity in mice with mitochondrial dysfunction, but such an intervention has not, to our knowledge, been attempted in humans (Jain et al., 2016). …

The Impact Of Socioeconomic Status And Poverty On African American Students With Special Needs, Royce T. Winford

All Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Exploring the impact of socioeconomic status and poverty on African American students with special needs has shown that poverty is a global issue that has an impact on children's academic ability. In the United States, about one-quarter of all children are born into poverty. Poverty increases the likelihood of mental, emotional, and behavioral disorders in children and adolescents. Stress affects children from low-income families, preventing their brains from completely developing. This thesis is a review of scholarly research on the impact of socioeconomic status on African American students with special needs and its relation to special education. Through this research, …
