Room To Breathe: Using Adaptive Architecture To Examine The Relationship Between Alexithymia And Interoception, Haneen Abdulhamid, Nils Jäger, Holger Schnädelbach, Alastair D. Smith

School of Psychology

ObjectiveIndividuals with alexithymia experience difficulties interpreting emotional states in self and others, which has been associated with interoceptive impairment. Current theories are primarily based on subjective and conscious measures of interoceptive sensitivity, such as heartrate detection, but it is unclear whether similar observations would be found for objective or implicit psychophysiological measures. The present exploratory study assesses the potential of a novel assay through the use of adaptive immersive architecture [ExoBuilding].MethodsN = 88 participants were screened for alexithymic traits and N = 27 individuals, representing the range of scores, were sampled to participate in the behavioural task. In a repeated-measures …

Recovery Of Physical And Biological Soil Properties And Vegetation On Reclaimed Oil Well Pads In Western North Dakota, Chase Christopherson Jan 2022

Recovery Of Physical And Biological Soil Properties And Vegetation On Reclaimed Oil Well Pads In Western North Dakota, Chase Christopherson

Natural Resources Management

Since 2000, the oil industry in North Dakota has grown to become the fifth largest oil producing and the second largest oil production and reserve state in the country. This increase in growth and activity has contributed to large amounts of ecological disturbance and degradation in western North Dakota. Oil companies are required to complete reclamations on disturbed and degraded lands once well pad activity ceases at a site. It is unclear how successful these reclamations are though as studies have found that significant ecological recovery can take multiple decades. This study assessed the recovery of soil properties and vegetation …

Influence Of Soil Type, Fertilizer, And Mulch Amendment In Containerized Polyculture, Lena Fiskness Jan 2022

Influence Of Soil Type, Fertilizer, And Mulch Amendment In Containerized Polyculture, Lena Fiskness

Plant Sciences

There are many avenues to address global food supply and global food production increasing food security for individuals and communities. Though corporate agriculture provides the largest percentage of global sustenance through grain monocultures, small-scale, subsistence, intercropping production is another means of direct-to-consumer horticultural supply for additional food security. Due to supply chain disruptions, inferior infrastructure, economic lack, and inaccessible land and/or agricultural equipment, large-scale production is not always feasible in impoverished communities where food security is greatest. This research determines the feasibility of growing “The Three Sisters” polyculture in containerized production as well as fertilizer and mulch amendment recommendations per …

Kisspeptins: Airway Remodeling In Asthma, Niyati Borkar Jan 2022

Kisspeptins: Airway Remodeling In Asthma, Niyati Borkar

Pharmacy

Asthma is a chronic respiratory disorder that affects people of all ages. Sex and gender disparity in asthma is recognized and suggests a modulatory role for sex steroids, particularly estrogen. However, there is a dichotomous role of estrogen in airway remodeling, making it unclear whether sex hormones are protective or detrimental in asthma and suggesting a need to explore mechanisms upstream or independent of estrogen. Kisspeptins (Kp) are a novel peptide existing upstream of sex steroids and function as a crucial regulator of puberty. Kp via KISS1R are further implicated in the sex steroid biogenesis via action on the gonadotrophins. …

Understanding The Role Of Rage In Cell Adhesion, Swetha Thiyagarajan Jan 2022

Understanding The Role Of Rage In Cell Adhesion, Swetha Thiyagarajan

Pharmacy

The Receptor for Advanced Glycation Endproducts (RAGE) is a mammalian specific cell surface receptor. RAGE consists of three extracellular domains (V, C1, and C2), a transmembrane domain, and an intracellular cytoplasmic tail. RAGE has a significant role in human pathogenesis, including neurodegenerative diseases, diabetic complications, and certain cancers. Deregulation of cell adhesion is one of the contributing cellular events common in many of the above listed human pathologies and might be mediated via RAGE signaling. In our study, we aimed to understand the role of RAGE in cell adhesion and to define the importance of the different domains of RAGE …

Crossing The 'Color Bar': African American Soldiers In Britain And Australia During The Second World War, Joseph A. Dickinson Jan 2022

Crossing The 'Color Bar': African American Soldiers In Britain And Australia During The Second World War, Joseph A. Dickinson

War, Diplomacy, and Society (MA) Theses

During the Second World War, African American soldiers were stationed all over the world as part of the American war effort. During these deployments, African Americans encountered a number of white societies, such as those in Britain and Australia, which they generally interacted with cordially. Good relations between African American soldiers and the local white populations angered many white servicemembers, who saw the lack of Jim Crow style segregation as a threat to the racial status quo, and attempted to enforce segregation overseas themselves. These attempts were often resisted fiercely by African American soldiers and the local white populations, both …

Improving Management And Understanding Of Major Diseases Of Sugar Beet, Md Ziaur Rahman Bhuiyan Jan 2022

Improving Management And Understanding Of Major Diseases Of Sugar Beet, Md Ziaur Rahman Bhuiyan

Plant Pathology

Sugar beet is a sugar-yielding crop, that contributes 25% of the global sucrose production. Economic production of sugar beet is hampered by Cercospora leaf spot (CLS) (Cercospora beticola), Rhizoctonia crown and root rot (RCRR) (Rhizoctonia solani), Sclerotinia root rot (SRR) (Sclerotinia sclerotiorum), and Rhizopus root rot (Rhizopus arrhizus) diseases. These diseases can reduce yield by 15 to 40%. On CLS, buildup of fungicide-resistance strains is a major issue due to poor implementation of fungicides and understanding of disease development at early stages. The identification of germplasm resistant to RCRR disease is hindered by the lack of effective inoculation methods. Identification …

Multiracial Identity As A Factor In Body Image And Disordered Eating, Kerrie Leonard Jan 2022

Multiracial Identity As A Factor In Body Image And Disordered Eating, Kerrie Leonard

Human Development and Family Science

Emerging adulthood is a significant developmental stage where both ethnic-racial identitydevelopment and body dissatisfaction/disordered eating are salient. Past research suggests that there are links between identity development and body image/disordered eating (Palmeroni et al., 2020). Additionally, studies in the body image/disordered eating field have begun to examine differences among ethnic-racial groups (see Bucchianeri et al., 2016). However, there is limited research with Multiracial individuals (i.e., individuals with two or more ethnic-racial backgrounds). It is undetermined how Multiracial identity development influences body image and disordered eating behaviors. Thus, two studies were conducted to explore such connections. Participants included 174 Multiracial emerging …

A Professional Development Plan For Educators Working With Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder Transitioning Into Standard Childcare Settings, Jennifer Lee Reiser Jan 2022

A Professional Development Plan For Educators Working With Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder Transitioning Into Standard Childcare Settings, Jennifer Lee Reiser

Human Development and Family Science

Standard childcare centers are continuing to become more inclusive to individuals of all abilities. Transition plans from specialized services such as Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) often include discharge criteria and a discharge transition plan for the child, but often do not include any training or development plan for educators in a standard childcare setting. Due to the limited number of plans available, transition plans vary greatly in how comprehensive they are as every organization creates their own plan or transitions children into the childcare setting without an identified plan. This paper proposes a professional development plan for educators working with …

Tracking Body Dissatisfaction And Body Ideals Of Ethnically Diverse College Women, Emma Johnson Jan 2022

Tracking Body Dissatisfaction And Body Ideals Of Ethnically Diverse College Women, Emma Johnson

Human Development and Family Science

Globally, women are exposed to society-created, unachievable body ideals, which change over time and are subject to influence by other, typically Western, societies. Socializing agents such as family members, peers, and media often reinforce these ideals through pressure, which can then lead to body dissatisfaction. Research on body ideals and body dissatisfaction disproportionately focuses on White women within the United States. While this group is important to continue to examine, there is a need to include women from outside of the United States and from Non-Western societies. Thus, this study examined college women’s perceptions of body ideals within and outside …

A Domain-Knowledge Modeling Of Hospital-Acquired Infection Risk In Healthcare Personnel From Retrospective Observational Data: A Case Study For Covid-19, Phat Huynh Jan 2022

A Domain-Knowledge Modeling Of Hospital-Acquired Infection Risk In Healthcare Personnel From Retrospective Observational Data: A Case Study For Covid-19, Phat Huynh

Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering

Healthcare personnel (HCP) is facing a consistent risk of viral infections. We proposed a domain-knowledge-driven infection risk model to quantify the individual HCP and the population-level risks. For individual-level risk estimation, a time-variant model was proposed to capture the disease transmission dynamics. At the population-level, the infection risk was estimated using a Bayesian network model constructed from three feature sets. For model validation, we investigated the case study of the Coronavirus disease. The variance-based sensitivity analysis indicated that the uncertainty in the estimated risk was attributed to two variables: the number of close contacts and the viral transmission probability. We …
