Developing Scientific Literacy To Promote 21st-Century Skills In Students, Colleen R. Hanson

All Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Scientific literacy and 21st-century skills are two skill sets that can equip students to handle the demands of the modern world. Scientific literacy is knowing the science content, understanding the methods and procedures scientists use, and being able to apply that knowledge to everyday life as citizens. This literature review examined methods to increase scientific literacy in the classroom through vocabulary instruction to increase content knowledge, scientific reading comprehension and writing skills, analyzing and interpreting data, engaging students in argumentation, and teaching through socio-scientific issues.

Evidence-Based Interventions To Address Elopement In Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder, Hailey Noelle Ek

All Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Elopement is a concerning behavior among autistic children. This thesis focused on evidence-based strategies and interventions used to treat elopement for children with Autism Spectrum Disorders. Response blocking occurs immediately after a child elopes to protect them, but is not an effective intervention (Call et al., 2011, and Marle et al., 2020). Research data utilized Functional Behavior Assessments to determine the function of elopement and focused on strategies that decreased or eliminated elopement behavior (Kamlowsky et al., 2021, and Stockall et al., 2015). Studies were limited due to small sample sizes (Call et al., 2017, and Scheithauer et al., 2020). …

How Can Animals Benefit Students With Special Needs In The Prek-12 Academic Setting?, Ruthie L. Schneider

All Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Animals and children are often associated together because there is an innate connection between them. That connection is even more compelling concerning children with special needs. In the past few decades studies have increased involving the various ways animals are used in educational settings. Animal-assisted therapy has been shown to decrease anxiety and behavioral problems, increase prosocial interactions and engage withdrawn students with emotional behavioral disorders. Reading to canines has been shown to increase fluency, confidence, attendance, and motivation while decreasing anxiety to read out loud and negative perceptions of school in students with varied disabilities. Pets in the classroom, …

Sensory Informed Teaching And The Impact On Student Learning, Rebecca Thavis

All Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This thesis explores the impact that sensory stimuli have on students with sensory disorders and how this impacts their academic growth. It was hypothesized that sensory impact was a great hindrance for students that suffered from hyper or hypo neurological sensory stimuli processing disorders. However, the impact of sensory disorders proved to be far greater than just an academic relationship, but also social and emotional relations. Once determined, the next step was to find applicable interventions for general education classrooms, as well as special education classrooms, that were fiscally and spatially reasonable. The sensory processing disorders were evaluated and discussed …

Cardiac Gene Therapy With Relaxin Receptor 1 Overexpression Protects Against Acute Myocardial Infarction, Teja Devarakonda, Adolfo G. Mauro, Chad Cain, Anindita Das, Fadi N. Salloum

Internal Medicine Publications

Relaxin is a pleiotropic hormone shown to confer cardioprotection in several preclinical models of cardiac ischemia-reperfusion injury. In the present study, the effects of up-regulating relaxin family peptide receptor 1 (RXFP1) via adeno-associated virus serotype 9 (AAV9) vectors were investigated in a mouse model of myocardial infarction. AAV9-RXFP1 vectors were generated and injected in adult male CD1 mice. Up-regulation of Rxfp1 was confirmed via quantitative polymerase chain reaction, and overexpressing animals showed increased sensitivity to relaxin-induced ventricular inotropic response. Overexpressing animals also demonstrated reduced infarct size and preserved cardiac function 24 hours after ischemia-reperfusion. Up-regulation of RXFP1 via AAV9 vectors …

Phylogenetic Tests Of Models Of Viral Transmission, Robert M. Zink, Kenedi Holck, Grant L. Morgan

School of Natural Resources: Faculty Publications

The hunt for the immediate non-human host of SARS-CoV-2 has centered on bats of the genus Rhinolophus. We explored the phylogenetic predictions of two models of viral transmission, the SpilloverModel and the CirculationModel and suggest that the Spillover Model can be eliminated. The Circulation Model suggests that viral transmission occurs among susceptible hosts irrespective of their phylogenetic relationships. Susceptibility could be mediated by the ACE2 gene (important for viral docking) and we constructed a phylogeny of this gene for 159 mammal species, finding a phylogenetic pattern consistent with established mammalian relationships. The tree indicates that viral transfer occurs over …
