Aligning The Library Website And Intuitional Repository Experience: Redesign, Implement And Engage, Alice Sherwood

Library Staff Publications

Last year, we started the process of changing sidebar menu items and breadcrumb navigation to help with enhancing accessibility for the library website based on some suggestions by staff members having issues with the website. As the project progressed of adjusting and changes to the library website navigation progressed, it was obvious how much these changes have created more differences of navigation menus between our library website and institutional repository creating no so streamlined experiences for users between the two. With the timing also eligible for the institutional repository to go through a redesign, steps were taken to document the …

Going With The Flow: Peptide Affinity Membranes For High-Throughput, High-Yield Purification Of Adenovirus And Lentiviral Vectors, Yuxuan Wu, Arianna Minzoni, Aishwarya Gangadhar, William Smith, Eduardo Barbieri, Irfan Ismail, Luke Remmler, Michael A. Daniele, Stefano Menegatti

Michigan Tech Publications

Membrane chromatography offers a compelling alternative to packed-bed resins for viral vector purification, as its open porosity and convective mass transport eliminate diffusive mass transfer limitations, enabling processing at substantially shorter residence times. Yet, the translation of affinity ligands from resins to membranes is challenged by the low density of reactive groups, which constrains functional ligand loading and limits binding capacity. Seeking to overcome this limitation, this study presents a method for functionalizing cellulose membranes with peptide affinity ligands and demonstrates its application to the purification of adenovirus serotype 5 (AdV5), VSV-G and Cocal pseudotyped lentiviral vectors (LVVs), and adeno-associated …

The Machine In The Mirror: What An Ai-Created Religion Reveals About Spirit-Empowered Ministry, Todd J. Korpi

Spiritus: ORU Journal of Theology

Spirit-empowered ministers face questions about how artificial intelligence is shaping the people they serve. Congregants may turn to chatbots for spiritual counsel, while pastors weigh the use of AI tools in their ministries. An unusual episode involving an AI-agent-created religion, the Church of Molt, offers an occasion to examine the development of generative AI and the Church’s responsibility in the face of it. This article adapts Paul Hiebert’s method of critical contextualization to examine the five tenets of this machine religion as a prophetic mirror for the Church. It exposes questions about memory, transformation, authority, attention, and belonging. Read in …

In The Way Of Anna: The Prayer Legacy Of The Women Of The Church Of God In Christ, Kellen I. Brooks

Spiritus: ORU Journal of Theology

This article explores the prayer tradition within the Church of God in Christ (COGIC) by examining the prayer ministry of four notable COGIC women: Lizzie Woods Robinson, E. J. Dabney, Elsie Shaw, and Frances Kelly. The prayer ministry in COGIC, often led by women, historically drove tremendous growth and encouraged a lively Pentecostal holiness spirituality that remains the lifeblood of the denomination. Drawing comparisons to Anna the prophetess in Luke 2, it shows how the prayer practices of COGIC women provide both a connection to ancient spirituality and also model a relevant, vibrant Spirit-empowered prayer template for churches and individuals …

Intergenerational Christian Formation: An Incubator And Catalyst For The Transformation Of Adult Youth Ministry Volunteers, Kerry R. Loescher

Spiritus: ORU Journal of Theology

This article explores the changes that bonus spiritual parents and grandparents experience as they persistently journey with adolescents through the ongoing programmed, relational youth ministry of their local church. To better understand this phenomenon, 31 semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted. The findings demonstrate that intergenerational ministry significantly impacts adult volunteers, transforming their public faith, increasing anticipation of God’s work, and fostering significant relationships within the volunteer team.

The qualitative study documents and analyzes experiences and the language used to express them, with the goal of enhancing the understanding of pneumatology within Gen Z populations. Through an oral history archival project, the researchers collected 31 testimonies regarding Holy Spirit encounters. The testimonies were analyzed and coded to identify and evaluate trends in Holy Spirit experiences, contributing to research on Generation Z spirituality.

From Prayer To Proclamation: Re-Centering The Pneumatological Foundations Of Pastoral Speech In The Digital Age, Mario Hood

Spiritus: ORU Journal of Theology

This article argues that the contemporary crisis of Pentecostal preaching is fundamentally pneumatological before it is homiletical. Digital technology has not merely altered the methods of pastoral communication; it has restructured the very conditions in which pastoral authority is formed, exercised, and received. Drawing on Ray S. Anderson, Terry Cross, Truls Åkerlund, Daniel Tomberlin, and Amos Yong—alongside insights from the author’s own paracletic leadership framework— this article proposes a constructive response to the mediatization of preaching. If prayer forms the pastor, proclamation participates in Christ’s ongoing paracletic work, and discernment shapes the community’s reception of divine address, then the pastoral …

A Retrospective Study Of The Frequency And Factors Associated With Elevated Serum Aspartate Aminotransferase Activity In Domestic Rabbits, Natakorn Siriwattanasatorn, Sompoth Weerakhun

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

This study aimed to identify factors associated with elevated aspartate aminotransferase (AST) activity and to evaluate the frequency of elevated AST and its association with mortality in domestic rabbits. A retrospective cohort study was conducted between 2021 and 2022, including 1,435 rabbits that underwent blood testing for AST. A significant association was observed between health status and elevated AST activity (P < 0.001). Elevated AST activity was observed in 14.64% (95/649) of healthy rabbits and 33.97% (267/786) of diseased rabbits. Among the 138 rabbits that died during hospitalization, 79 (57.24%) had elevated AST activity. Several hematological and biochemical parameters were associated with elevated AST activity. Leukocytosis, leukopenia, neutropenia, lymphopenia, decreased RBC count, decreased hemoglobin, decreased hematocrit, and thrombocytopenia, elevated ALT, elevated BUN, and elevated creatinine showed positive associations, whereas erythrocytosis, elevated total protein, and elevated albumin showed negative associations. Among diseased rabbits, elevated AST activity was positively associated with several clinical signs, including abnormal mucous membranes, depressed mentation, anorexia, emaciation, hyperthermia, unconsciousness, weakness, decreased fecal output, abdominal pain, and dyspnea; hypersalivation showed an inverse association. Disease conditions positively associated with elevated AST activity included gastrointestinal hypomotility, allergic rhinitis, pneumonia, heat stroke, anaphylactic shock, renal disease, cardiovascular disease, hepatic disease, toxin ingestion, malnutrition, and hypoglycemia, whereas malocclusion showed an inverse association. Multivariable logistic regression showed that the presence of clinical illness (defined as clinical abnormalities or a documented diagnosis of any disease), underweight body condition score, and anemia (hematocrit

Management Of Refractory Spontaneous Pneumothorax Complicated By Secondary Acinetobacter Baumannii Pyothorax In A Siberian Husky Using Autologous Blood Patch Pleurodesis, Pattraporn Olanphakdee, Sekkarin Ploypetch, Maturawan Tunhikorn, Somkiat Huaijantug, Adsada Langputeh, Jeerawat Soonthornsit, Rungrote Osathanon, Teetush Trasyodsakul

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

A 3-year-old intact male Siberian Husky was presented to Prasu Arthorn Veterinary Teaching Hospital with acute restrictive dyspnea and was diagnosed with spontaneous pneumothorax based on thoracic radiography and computed tomography, which revealed pulmonary bullae and pneumomediastinum. Initial thoracocentesis resulted in temporary improvement; however, recurrence necessitated placement of bilateral thoracostomy tubes. Because persistent air leakage continued despite thoracostomy tube drainage and conservative suction, and thoracotomy was not feasible, the pneumothorax was considered refractory to conservative management and autologous blood patch pleurodesis was performed as salvage therapy. The complication progressed to a pyothorax associated with Acinetobacter baumannii infection, confirmed by bacterial …

Olive's Pandemic Experience Vs The Real World, Mary E. Widincamp

The Humanities & Communication Student Research Symposium

This research poster examines how Olive Llewellyn’s experience during the 2203 pandemic in Sea of Tranquility by Emily St. John Mandel parallels and diverges from the global experience of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. By analyzing Olive’s isolation on Moon Base Two alongside real-world accounts of social distancing, travel restrictions, and technological reliance, this project explores how differing environments shape human responses to crisis. While both pandemics reveal themes of uncertainty, disconnection, and adaptation, Olive’s experience highlights the amplified psychological effects of isolation in an already detached, off-world setting. In contrast, Earth’s 2020 pandemic underscores the role of community resilience …

The Pathetic Pedestal Of Perceived Purity: Childhood Innocence As The Catalyst For Digital Lynch Mobs In The Hunt, Lingyuan Meng

The Humanities & Communication Student Research Symposium

By showing how societies reject rational reason due to total faith in a child's alleged purity, the movie, The Hunt, offers a visceral parallel to the contemporary practice of doxing. This connection is crucial in the digital age as it demonstrates how contemporary media ecologies use moral outrage as a tool to bypass due process, turning unreliable emotional tales into irreversible social death sentences.

Due to contemporary digital culture, social media platforms have evolved into what legal professor, Alejandra Castillo Ara, terms a “punitive remedy” or a “digital court”. In order to impose social punishment, this system allows and prompts …

A Built Environment Framework For Sustainable Urban Transport In Developing Countries: Lessons From Copenhagen, Nassamat Mahdy Mohamed, Mohamed Anwer Zayed, Ingy Mohamed El Barmelgy

HBRC Journal

Developing countries are suffering from several urban transport challenges. In addition, global strategies of sustainable urban transport (SUT) lack integration with the seven dimensions of the built environment (7Ds). Therefore, there is a gap between the global strategies and their practical application, especially in the developing countries. To address this gap, this study aims to propose built environment framework for SUT in developing countries. This is addressed by analyzing a selection of global urban transport strategies and extracting consolidated applicable principles, then analyzing Copenhagen as a leading case study in SUT. Based on the research foundation and literature review, the …
