Maternal Nutriture And Concurrent Wasting And Stunting Among Under-Five Children: A Systematic Review, Aileen R. De Juras, Rodesa N. Forcadilla, Mary Ann M. Ingua, Angeline A. Bueno

Journal Article

Concurrent wasting and stunting (WaSt) is a severe form of child undernutrition associated with increased morbidity and mortality. While maternal nutritional status independently influences wasting and stunting, its role in their co-occurrence among children remains insufficiently explored. This systematic review aimed to examine associations between WaSt and maternal nutritional status and related determinants, as well how WaSt is defined, measured, and reported. It was conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines and registered with PROSPERO International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (CRD42024493969). Structured searches in Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane databases were …

Beyond The Glass Ceiling: Career Advancement Strategies For Mid-Level Women In Student Affairs, Jalonda N. Thompson

Journal of Higher Education & Student Affairs

The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of the literature on the push and pull factors that influence women’s choices to either opt in or opt out of career advancement in student affairs (Coetzee & Moosa, 2020; Harman & Sealy, 2017). Women, specifically Black women, are underrepresented in Senior Student Affairs Officer (SSAO) positions in higher education (American Council of Education, 2024). As the demographics of the United States (US) change, student affairs is at a critical point to foster an inclusive learning environment that reflects the increasing racial and ethnic diversity in the US (Lopez, 2006). …

On Modeling Agent Behavior Change Through Multi-Typed Information Diffusion In Online Social Networks, Masaaki Miyashita, Norihiko Shinomiya, Daisuke Kasamatsu, Genya Ishigaki

Faculty Research, Scholarly, and Creative Activity

The rapid spread of information on online social networks (OSNs) has had both beneficial and detrimental societal impacts. Notably, the propagation of misinformation during events such as the COVID-19 pandemic has driven collective behavioral responses, sometimes exacerbating crises such as panic buying and bank runs. The toilet paper shortage in Japan in 2020 caused by people's selfish behavior owing to the diffusion of information to correct misinformation, which is considered a general phenomenon based on three sociological characteristics: a collective action problem, a self-fulfilling prophecy, and pluralistic ignorance. Understanding what kind and how information can inhibit selfish behavior to mitigate …

Data Literacy Competencies In Context: Employee Perspectives From The Workplace, Patricia Condon, Wendy G. Pothier

Faculty Publications

Data literacy is essential in today’s workplace, and professionals across roles and experience levels recognize its value. This article reports on findings from interviews with 16 supply chain and logistics professionals. The study examines how seven proposed data literacy competencies align with workplace needs, how employees address the data literacy gap, and how librarians can support workforce readiness. Findings highlight opportunities for libraries to bridge the data literacy gap through instruction and resources development that integrate technical and non-technical data skills with information literacy.

Approaching A Companion Document For Business: Applications Of The Framework In Business Information Literacy, Lumarie Guth, Ilana Stonebraker, G. Arave, Patricia Condon, Grace Liu, Wendy G. Pothier

Faculty Publications

Business librarians have yet to create a companion document to the ACRL Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education but instead have developed a rich resource bank of instructional materials with examples of how the Framework can be practically applied in business librarianship.1 With the absence of a formal companion document, the authors of this chapter took a wide view to better understand how the Framework has been used by business librarians since its inception. In addition to the Framework, business librarians have sought to align their work with discipline-specific documents including the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business …

Cultivating Plain Language Skills For Engineering Students, Catherine Wong, Cynthia Carlson

Faculty Publications

While engineers are learning the vocabulary of the profession, understandably, they want to practice, and perhaps show their professors that they are proficient. This leads to student writing that is overly complicated and full of jargon. This is not the type of document that would be clear to the public, or even to a professional outside of the narrowly focused field of the particular engineer. After graduation, engineers’ writing becomes exponentially more important. Often approval of projects relies on residents’ or clients’ understanding of engineers’ work. For example, an engineering firm completing an investigation of an important health concern such …

Willa And Nicole: An Observational Case On Preparing Future Special Educators To Adapt To And Thrive In Diverse Communities, Tiara S. Brown, Benjamin Riden

Journal of Case Learning & Exceptional Learners

As teacher educators prepare preservice teachers for careers in a wide range of geographic and political contexts, they face the challenge of equipping students with the knowledge and skills needed to succeed in diverse classrooms across the United States. Future special educators may be entering school systems that are influenced by varying political climates and policies, ranging from more progressive regions to those with more conservative approaches to education. This observation-based case examines two preservice teachers from diverse backgrounds and explores their perceptions on pressing educational issues and feelings about their preparation program. It also discusses how teacher preparation programs …

Supporting Special Education Teachers Pursuing Board Certification In Behavior Analysis With Quality Supervision, Kathleen M. Randolph, Larry Fisher

Journal of Case Learning & Exceptional Learners

The principles of Applied Behavior Analysis and Special Education are more alike than different, yet special education teachers encounter difficulties finding fieldwork supervision to meet the Behavior Analyst Certification Board’s requirements. Special education teachers spend much of their time consulting with general education teachers to support and change student behavior, observing students in classrooms to identify target behaviors, collecting data to identify the underlying function of behavior to develop high-quality functional behavior assessments, and creating behavior intervention plans using evidence-based practices to promote socially significant behavior for students with challenging behaviors in the school setting. While most Board Certified Behavior …

Social And Commercial Crowdfunding Through The Lens Of The Theory Of Planned Behaviour And Financial Well-Being, Joanna Adamska, Urszula Mrzygłód

Journal of Banking and Financial Economics

A unique feature of crowdfunding is that it relies on numerous individuals contributing financially to the project, which sets it apart from traditional financing channels. Unlike banks, where funding decisions are subject to strict prudential criteria and the creditworthiness of the borrowing entity, crowdfunding projects appeal to various worldviews and values held by potential backers. Therefore, the financial decision to support the crowdfunding project becomes a unique problem in personal finance. This study aims to analyse the psychological and financial factors influencing crowdfunding participation, comparing social and commercial projects using the Theory of Planned Behaviour (hereinafter: TPB) and subjective financial …

The Ecoformative And Transformative Issues Of Nature In The Schoolyard: An Exploration Of The Relationship Between Everyday Experiences Of Nature And Well-Being At School, Alix Cosquer, Olivier Gimenez, Arnaud Gregoire, Vincent Girard, Thierry Noell, Tatiana Wasella

Cities and the Environment (CATE)

In urban areas, the implementation of schoolyard facilities (especially through the greening of these spaces) aims to promote children's contact with nature to improve well-being and increase their awareness of environmental preservation. In this study, we use the prospect of schoolyard landscaping in two French schools to conduct research on pupils’ relationship with nature and well-being at school. We explore cognitive and social mechanisms that affect children's perceptions and behaviour in their relationships with nature on a daily basis and in the school context, with a view toward implementing schoolyard designs.

The research aims are (i) to gain a better …

Inherited Wounds: Navigating Intergenerational Trauma Through Cooperative Play, Ayza Sheikh

Theses and Dissertations

'Strength' for Pakistani women is often defined as compromise, sacrifice, and silence. This definition has shaped intergenerational struggles in which women's self-narratives are constructed through suppression. Inherited Wounds seeks to address the trauma of suppression by creating a safe space for expression that fosters reflective and emotion-driven dialogue between Pakistani mothers and daughters.

Using interactive storytelling and embodied play, I developed a choice-based, narrative-driven video game and accompanying gesture-based controller. The game unfolds across childhood, marriage, and motherhood, mirroring the cycle of intergenerational struggle. Navigating choices in the game requires physical, intimate cooperation. The game uses the protagonist’s life as …

Epithelial Responses And Remodeling In The Submandibular Gland Post-Irradiation, Victoria Gellatly

Electronic Theses & Dissertations (2024 - present)

Radiation therapy for head and neck cancer often causes irreversible salivary gland dysfunction, resulting in chronic xerostomia. Understanding the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying this dysfunction is essential for developing regenerative therapies. Given the cellular complexity of the salivary gland single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) provides a powerful approach to investigate cell-type-specific injury responses to ionizing radiation (IR) and uncover transcriptional changes that may be masked in bulk analyses. This study investigates the cellular and molecular responses of the murine submandibular gland (SMG) to irradiation, with a focus on epithelial loss and remodeling, and regenerative failure. In order to effectively use …

The Intermediate And Remote Effects Of Acute Juvenile Stress Upon Auditory Fear Learning, Recognition Memory, And Anxiety Measures In A Rodent Model Of Ptsd, Laura J. Baron

Electronic Theses & Dissertations (2024 - present)

Abstract

Early-life stress is a risk factor for increased susceptibility to stress- and trauma-related disorders, including Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). PTSD is characterized by exposure to trauma that results in exaggerated and extinction-resistant fear responses that persist for over a month. Understanding how the severity of early-life stressors in animal models impacts adult behavior, cognition, and underlying neurobiology could aid in the development of more effective PTSD treatments.

Various early-life stress models, especially in infant rats, have been used to induce stress and assess PTSD like-symptoms. Different stressors impact short- and long-term behavior, with some effects influenced by developmental timing …
