Infusing Adverse Childhood Experiences Research Across The Cacrep Core Curriculum, Cara M. Thompson, Alexander M. Fields, Dodie Limberg, Krys Whitty

Trauma Counseling and Resilience

Approximately two-thirds of the United States population experience Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) that are associated with increased risk for negative physical, mental, and behavioral health outcomes. Research on the effects of ACEs is largely conducted and published outside of counseling fields, yet has direct implications for counselors in the conceptualization, assessment, and interventions for a variety of complaints presented by clients across the lifespan and in any treatment setting. Integrating ACEs research into foundational counseling courses can prepare counselors-in-training (CITs) to recognize the impact of ACEs for clients and identify which interventions will promote client wellness. In this article, we …

School of Biological and Marine Sciences

Linguistic uncertainty is a prime source of uncertainty pervading ecology and conservation. Coralline algae are a widespread and diverse group of calcifying red macroalgae that underpin coastal ecosystem function and service provision. Recent increasing interest in coralline algae in the scientific literature has revealed a diverse but confusing terminology at organism to habitat scales. Coralline algal research and conservation are international and multidisciplinary, so there are geographic and disciplinary imbalances in research and conservation efforts. To reach consensus and reduce uncertainty, we propose a unified terminology. We review trends in cultural and scientific use of coralline algal terms and propose …

Changing Trajectory: An Academic Recovery Program For First-Year Students At Risk Of Non-Continuation At A Four-Year Public University, Cheryl Brattley

Education Doctorate Dissertations

This study investigated the impact of an academic recovery initiative implemented at a four-year public university to address the high attrition rates among first-year students not making satisfactory academic progress. The study employed quantitative methods to compare retention outcomes and academic progress between students who participated in the program and those who qualified but did not participate over a three-year time frame. Using archival data, including retention rates for both Fall and Spring semesters, cumulative grade point averages, and credit accumulation, the research also examined how demographic factors (race, gender, first-generation status, and Pell Grant eligibility) were associated with program …

The Kinematics And Aerodynamics Of Freely Flying Tiny Insects, Evan J. Williams

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Tiny insects are an extremely diverse set of organisms that have important engineering and economic applications. These organisms often fly and readily disperse distances that far exceed their body lengths. The mechanisms behind tiny insect flight are not well understood and present complex kinematics and unintuitive aerodynamics that depart from both fixed-winged mechanisms and larger insects. In addition, their tiny spatial and fast temporal scales make them exceedingly difficult to study, and to date, the field has relied on numerical studies and dynamic scaling. Herein, we describe three projects that significantly advanced our understanding of tiny insect flight and experimental …

Gender, Parenthood, And Crime: What People Expect When You’Re Expecting, Madelyn Blaser

Honors Thesis

Decades of research have underscored the importance of personal demographics on criminal sentencing outcomes. Race and gender have gained increasing attention within this area, while parental status, particularly expectant parenthood, has largely been neglected. The current study seeks to examine the influence that an offender’s gender and parental status have on how they are viewed by the public. Using a vignette-style survey of American adults, this paper examines how gender and parental status influences public perception of an offender’s character. The survey also highlights the impacts that gender and parental status have on perceptions of a fair correctional outcome. Results …

College Outcomes For Young Adults With And Without Learning Disabilities And Adhd: Formal-Disability-Programming And Informal-Disability-Supports, Dara R. Shifrer, Rachel Springer, Hannah Sean Ellefritz, Ned Tilbrook

Sociology Faculty Publications and Presentations

Inequalities by disability status in college outcomes contribute to inequalities throughout adulthood in multiple domains. As the share of students with learning disabilities and/or ADHD increases on college campuses, research is needed on how best to support these undergraduates, both through formal and informal means. We integrate the social and medical models of disability with data on nearly 17,000 young adults in the US, who typically finished high school in 2013, and find that formal-disability-programming relates negatively to college enrollment but has no apparent bearing on college persistence. Among youth with similar sociodemographic backgrounds and comparable end of high school …

The Design, Construction, And Testing Of Mrna Vaccine Against Equine Herpes Virus, Bhawana Devkota

LSU Master's Theses

Equine Herpesvirus-1 (EHV 1) is a worldwide significant pathogen that causes respiratory illness, abortion, and neurological disorders in equine. Current vaccines, including live attenuated, inactivated, and subunit platforms, do not prevent viral latency, mucosal shedding, or cross-strain immunity, requiring alternative approaches. To address these gaps, this project explores the design, synthesis, and in vitro testing of an mRNA vaccine targeting immunogenic EHV 1 glycoprotein (gB, gC, gD, gG, and gM). Epitopes were computationally predicted using the Immune Epitope Database (IEDB), codon-optimized for Bos taurus, and cloned into pUCIDT vectors using SP6/T7 promoters. In vitro transcription (IVT) used nucleotide modifications …

Adverse Health Effects Of Waste Anesthetic Gases (Wags): A Scoping Review Of Genetic, Immunotoxic, And Reproductive Impacts, Cozette Wilkins

Student Works

1 Background/Introduction: Occupational exposure to Waste Anesthetic Gases (WAGs) is a well-known concern for healthcare workers, especially those working in high-risk areas like the operating room (OR). Despite the implementation of safety measures such as WAG scavenging systems, there remains ongoing concern about the potential adverse health effects linked to exposure. This scoping review aims to map the existing evidence on the health risks associated with repeated WAG exposure, specifically focusing on genetic, immunotoxic, and reproductive health impacts. By synthesizing available data, this review seeks to better understand the extent of these risks and identify key gaps in the literature …

The Repro-Prophylactic Impact Of Synthetic Tocopherol Polyethylene Glycol, Succinate-Coated, Garlic-Selenium Nanoparticles Against Lead Acetate Toxicity In Male Rabbits, Mohamed A. R. Yassen, Madiha Hadj-Ayed, Jabbar A. A. Al-Saaidi

Baghdad Science Journal

Because of industrial and human activities, lead is a hazardous heavy metal that is widely present in the environment and poses a threat to public health and ecosystems. Garlic extract (GE) demonstrates protective impacts against many disorders. Its effects on heavy metal toxicity require more research. A nanoparticle formulation could increase its effectiveness even more. This investigation examined the repro-protection impact of tocopherol polyethylene glycol succinate-coated garlic selenium (TPGS-GSNP) against lead acetate (LA) toxicity. For this purpose, 64 mature male rabbits were equally divided into eight groups (8 each). Male rabbits were treated three times a week for 12 weeks. …

Baghdad Science Journal

In this study, CQDs were synthesized by the green method using orange juice and ethanol, confused at a relatively low temperature by hydrothermal carbonization process, TiO₂ were prepared by a facile sol-gel method, and TiO₂-CQDs nanocomposites with different weight ratios were prepared by slipe mixing and heat treatment. XRD showed that the CQDs exhibited a broad peak at (002) with hexagonal structure, and TiO₂ (anatase phase) had a polycrystalline nature with tetragonal structure. The FESEM results showed the formation of nanostructures with different shapes and small average particle size. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy revealed that the …

Employment Of Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy To Determine Elements Of Human Hair, Fatima H. Salih, Shaimaa S. Mahdi, Alaa H. Ali

Baghdad Science Journal

This paper presents an innovative approach for thyroid disease detection leveraging the capabilities of Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS). Thyroid diseases are a global health issue with a significant impact on millions of people worldwide. Traditional diagnostic methods, such as blood tests, can be invasive, costly, and time-consuming. In contrast, LIBS provides a quick, non-destructive, and cost-effective approach to illness identification. The study uses LIBS to analyze human hair's elemental composition, revealing elemental signatures linked to thyroid disease through laser ablation and spectral emissions. This method provided data that demonstrated the distinction between the control and infected patients by precisely identifying …

Background The Syrian hamster (Mesocricetus auratus) has shown promise as a human diseases model, recapitulating features of different human diseases including COVID-19. However, the landscape of its genome and transcriptome has not been systematically dissected, restricting its potential applications.

Results Here we provide a complete analysis of the genome and transcriptome of the Syrian hamster and found that its lineage diverged from that of the Chinese hamster (Cricetulus griseus) around 29.4 million years ago. 21,387 protein-coding genes were identified, with 90.03% of the 2.56G base pair sequence being anchored to 22 chromosomes. Further comparison of the …

Developing Students' Sociotechnical Thinking In The Humanities-Engineering Classroom: A Treatment Versus Control Study Using A Scenario-Based Assessment, Lori Czerwionka, Siddhant S. Joshi, Gabriel O. Rios-Rojas, Kirsten A. Davis

School of Engineering Education Faculty Publications

Background

Engineering problems are open-ended and complex, involving technical and social aspects, yet engineering education focuses on technical training and closed-ended problems. To prepare engineering students, curricula should foster sociotechnical thinking—the ability to consider the interplay of technical and social factors during problem solving. Although educational interventions in this area show promise, further insight into the benefits of interdisciplinary interventions is warranted, particularly with treatment and control group designs.

Purpose

We examine the effect of a Humanities-Informed Engineering Projects (HIEP) course on students' sociotechnical thinking development.

Method

We compared the sociotechnical thinking development of engineering students who took the HIEP …
