OBJECTIVE: Stereo-electroencephalography (SEEG) is an intracranial EEG methodology used in presurgical epilepsy evaluation to precisely delineate the epileptogenic zone and associated networks. Although established for decades, its global adoption has accelerated due to a favorable safety profile and clinical effectiveness. However, inconsistent terminology limits comparability of findings and multicenter collaboration. This guideline addresses this gap by providing standardized SEEG terminology based on international consensus.

METHODS: A working group of 41 experts appointed by the International Federation of Clinical Neurophysiology (IFCN) Executive Committee used a modified Delphi process to develop standardized terminology. The process included two meetings and four Delphi rounds, …

Self-Efficacy Mediators For Health-Seeking Behaviors In Women Of Childbearing Age Living With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, Domenica Carrier

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is an endocrine disorder leading to varied health complications, such as high blood pressure, Type 2 diabetes, infertility, and depression among women in the United States. Most studies have focused on managing the physical aspects of PCOS. Limited research to date has been conducted to determine the intrinsic and extrinsic motivation women living with PCOS harness to navigate the physical, psychosocial, and access to care in New Jersey, which are contributors to positive social change. This basic qualitative study utilized semistructured open-ended questions to determine the experiences and perspectives of women between the ages of 18 …

Antiterrorism Policies And Curbing Youth Involvement In Violent Extremism In Nigeria, Timothy Melaye

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

Nigeria continues to face significant challenges from extremist groups such as Boko Haram, unidentified militia groups, and bandits. The radicalization of youths has played a central role in the country's ongoing violent extremism and general insecurity. Efforts to curb youth radicalization remain largely unsuccessful and pose a major challenge in the country. The existing literature on curbing youth violent extremism focuses on the use of force, while other scholars argue for a complex interplay among economic, social, political, and environmental factors. They also considered that high illiteracy, lack of religious understanding, poverty, unemployment, psychological factors, and unstable family environments contribute …

Draft Hybrid Assembly And Annotation Of The Drosophila Palustris And Drosophila Subpalustris Genomes, William A. Dion, Emily Washeleski, Tessa Steenwinkel, Emily Taylor, Prajakta P. Kokate, Aidan Vandrie, Thomas Werner, Paul Goetsch

Michigan Tech Publications

Species within the quinaria group of the genus Drosophila are models for ecological genetic studies on topics that include morphological diversity, color pattern development, and feeding behavior. Drosophila palustris and Drosophila subpalustris are closely related members within the quinaria species group that differ primarily in subtle morphological and behavioral traits. To support future evolutionary genomic studies in drosophilids, we completed new draft hybrid assemblies and annotations of the D. palustris and D. subpalustris genomes. We obtained a fragmented assembly for D. palustris (N50 = 874 Kb) and a near chromosome-scale D. subpalustris assembly (N50 = 27.5 Mbp). Assembly contiguity, repeat …

Combined Estimation Of Herpetofauna And Avian Detection Frequency In A Suburban Ecosystem In As A Function Of Land Use Development, Isabelle L. Barnes, Jake Gerardi, John E. Quinn

Cities and the Environment (CATE)

Biodiversity is under threat as natural and semi-natural ecosystems continue to decrease in frequency and extent as a function of increased urban development, among other drivers. However, it has become clear that some levels of urban development can continue to support some biodiversity. However, it is not clear how species within different taxonomic groups may respond to similar types and extents of development. Thus, data are needed to assess relationships between urban development and multi-taxa detection patterns. To begin to address this gap, we conducted a concurrent analysis of anuran and avian diversity along an urban-to-peri-urban transect in Greenville, South …

The Effect Of Anthropogenic Food Subsidies On Coyote (Canis Latrans) Territory Size, Numi Mitchell, Kyle R. Hess, Michael W. Strohbach, Ralph Pratt

Cities and the Environment (CATE)

Context. Coyotes have confounded lethal-control efforts for over a century, initially as they preyed on livestock the Midwest rangelands in the early 1900s. In the past century, coyotes have expanded their range across the US into rural, suburban, even urban areas in the eastern US where populations are increasing along with calls for management from communities.  Here we examine anthropogenic food subsidy reduction as a possible management tool for coyotes. Compelling explanations for coyote territory-size variation have both a food-availability component and a contender pressure, or competition, component. These factors also influence pack group-size. Ultimately, competition for limited food resources …

Urban Green Spaces Landscape Design For Improving The Cultural Ecosystem Services Satisfaction Of Older People: Translating Maxent Model Outputs Into Spatial Design And Design Code Refinement, Huan Zhong, Takashi Machimura, Oyuntselmeg Enkhbat

Cities and the Environment (CATE)

Population aging and urbanization increasingly affect the well-being of older people. Urban green spaces (UGSs) can enhance their well-being through cultural ecosystem services (CESs), making CES assessment essential for inclusive cities. However, most studies employing the Maxent model for CES spatial assessment have mainly focused on predicting CES distributions, with limited efforts to translate model outputs into actionable spatial designs for improving CES satisfaction. This study aimed to propose and assess the landscape designs in UGSs informed by the Maxent model, and then to refine the existing National Park Design Code. The findings firstly revealed the spatial distributions of CES …

Anthropogenic Food Subsidies And Pack Counts Of Coyotes (Canis Latrans) In Rhode Island: Implications For Long-Term And Non-Lethal Population Control, Numi Mitchell, Kyle R. Hess, Michael W. Strohbach

Cities and the Environment (CATE)

Coyotes regulate fertility, population recruitment, and territory size, based on food competition, all characteristics that might be leveraged for population management initiatives. In Rhode Island, US, anthropogenic food subsidies provide important resources for coyotes. Prior work has shown that when large reliable subsidies are absent or removed, resident coyotes increase territory size. This is potentially significant to management if the expansion does not cause increases in pack size.

We used video camera traps, opportunistic photography, and observation, to make group-size counts. We looked at the influence of levels of anthropogenic food subsidization on pack size. Adult group sizes were smaller …

The Brown Foundation: Institute of Molecular Medicine

Experimentally validated prospective, blinded benchmarks are needed to separate durable advances from hype in computational antibody design. Here AIntibody, a challenge inspired by the Critical Assessment of Structure Prediction, tests 511 artificial intelligence (AI)-designed or predicted antibodies from 29 organizations on three tasks: in silico affinity maturation from phase 1 sequencing outputs, affinity ranking within heavy-chain complementarity-determining region 3 (HCDR3) clusters of a selection output and CDR design of proteins not included in a selection output. Validated with diverse experimental assays, several groups produced developable antibodies with affinities < 100 pM. However, these successes were exceptions that did not transfer across tasks. Affinity-matured antibodies were modeled effectively. Except for one model, predicting high-affinity clones from clustered HCDR3 datasets was worse than random clone picking. Out-of-library design was highly variable for most method submissions, with many failing to outperform standard selections. The AIntibody challenge shows that AI can optimize antibodies in defined, biologically grounded regimes, in addition to highlighting critical gaps including affinity prediction and library-inspired antibody design and cross-task generalization.

A Soft-Skilled Leadership Development Course For New Nurse Managers, Kiadrick Roshelle Hood

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

New nurse managers are stepping into leadership roles without structured training. While organizations offer various onboarding courses for managers transitioning into new management roles, few have implemented a structured, evidence-based program focused on leadership development, particularly in the soft leadership skills needed to lead a diverse workforce. I designed this staff education project to determine whether implementation of a leadership development course focused on time management, prioritization, and delegation would improve new nurse managers’ self-perception of these leadership skills. To address this gap, I developed a 1-day leadership development course to introduce tools to improve new nurse managers’ time management, …

Southeastern Michigan Firefighters’ Experiences With Their Organization’S Employee Assistance Program, Angela Patricia Johnson

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

Mental health challenges among first responders require coordinated stakeholder efforts. Although employee assistance programs (EAPs) are commonly offered as workplace benefits, little is known about firefighters’ experiences with these programs and how they can be tailored to meet their unique needs. Existing literature suggested that EAP utilization among firefighters is influenced by program awareness, confidentiality concerns, organizational support, stigma, and the extent to which services are tailored to first responders’ needs. Using a generic qualitative design and policy feedback theory, this study explored southeastern Michigan firefighters’ experiences with EAPs. Purposive sampling was used to recruit 11 firefighters for semi structured …

A Metadata Analysis Of Anthropological Scholarship About Haiti And The Dominican Republic, Tess Kulstad González, Pauline Kulstad González, Zoe Grubbs, Hongyuan Zhang

archipelagos: a journal of Caribbean digital praxis

This article presents the results of a metadata and content analysis of anthropological research about Haiti and the Dominican Republic available in the Anthropological Literature database and in the Journal of Latin American and Caribbean Anthropology. This analysis shows that anthropological knowledge about Haiti and/or the Dominican Republic, produced in Haiti and the Dominican Republic, is included less than scholarship published outside the island. In addition, our analysis indicates that research that pertains to both countries, or that considers transnational and/or inter-island processes has been infrequent. Furthermore, that which exists is not as discoverable or visible as research that focuses …

The Role Of Infrastructure In Enterococci Contamination And Human Health In Tampa Bay, Kaileen Alvarado, Ava Borgella

OneUSF Summer Undergraduate Research Symposium

Coastal microbial contamination is a major threat to public health especially in urbanized estuaries such as Tampa Bay, because elevated Enterococci concentrations can indicate fecal pollution, which can lead to gastrointestinal illnesses including diarrhea, vomiting, and nausea. This study investigated how infrastructure and environmental conditions influence Enterococci concentrations across different areas of Tampa Bay watershed, which is home to 3 million people, and visited by 5 million more each year. A multiyear dataset of over 6,600 Enterococci measurements from Tampa Bay Waterkeeper and the City of St. Petersburg Coastal Water Quality Monitoring Program was analyzed using spatial and statistical approaches. …

Using Social Vulnerability And Coastal Flooding Risk To Inform Preparedness Interventions In Hillsborough County, Bessan Abuaish

OneUSF Summer Undergraduate Research Symposium

Traditional disaster planning strategies often rely on broad countywide approaches that fail to address neighborhood level needs. Identifying communities with overlapping social vulnerability and physical risks can inform more equitable preparedness interventions. To identify neighborhoods with overlapping social vulnerability and coastal flooding risk in Hillsborough County and inform targeted preparedness interventions for vulnerable populations based on physical and socioeconomic risks, Geographic Information Systems mapping was used to overlay 16 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Social Vulnerability Index indicators with coastal flooding risks to isolate 36 high priority census tracts. Socioeconomic factors, age, limited English proficiency, vehicle access, and housing …
