Exploring The Cultural Experiences And Parenting Practices Of Indian Immigrants In The United States, Olivet K. Neethipudi

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

Abstract This research addressed Indian immigrant parents’ challenges when they immigrated to a new and unknown sociocultural context different from where they were raised. They struggled to parent their growing children, who were exposed to another belief system when enrolled in the United States school system. They were challenged between preserving their home culture by teaching their children and adapting their mainstream host culture by learning from their children, which are quite the opposite in their cultural perspectives. Therefore, this research investigated the challenges of Indian immigrant parents who struggled to balance their home and host cultures. This research utilized …

Perceptions Of Transactional Distance From Black Males In Asynchronous Online Math Courses, Shontale M. Bryant May 2023

Perceptions Of Transactional Distance From Black Males In Asynchronous Online Math Courses, Shontale M. Bryant

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

Transactional distance theory (Moore, 1973, 1993, 2013, 2019) identifies transactional distance as a psychological or communication gap that can be perceived by learners based on their personal educational needs and/or preferences. These perceptions of distance can occur in any learning environment but especially in distance learning or online learning environments and can influence course satisfaction, participation, and persistence (Tinto, 2009). Perceptions of transactional distance are observed through interactions (learner-instructor, learner-learner, learner-content; Moore, 1989) and are influenced by the theory’s three main tenets of course structure, dialogue, and learner autonomy through instructional design and personalization. Qualitative interviews were conducted with Black …

An Evaluation Of College Administrators And Staff Inclusion Practices For Undergraduate Students With Autism, Kimberly Bracey

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

Autism is a neurobiological disorder characterized by impairment in social interaction, communication, and repetitive stereotyped patterns of behavior. Autism rates have continued to increase in the United States and a cause or cure has not yet been found. In 2012, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that the prevalence of autism spectrum disorder increased from the rate of 1 in 150 in 2000 to 1 in 88 in 2008. When students in high school desire to transition from secondary to postsecondary education, college brochures, and other marketing advertisements appear to target the general education student. College advertisements rarely …

Ungrading Writing: Changes In Motivation, Volition, And Perceived Learning, Jennifer B. Wilson May 2023

Ungrading Writing: Changes In Motivation, Volition, And Perceived Learning, Jennifer B. Wilson

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

Motivation and volition are critical precursors to learning, as students learn best when the course material is relevant and personally meaningful. The ARCS-V (i.e., attention, relevance, confidence, satisfaction, and volition) model addresses motivation from an instructional design perspective. Underlying the model is a learner-centered locus of control. Research suggests that grades can be a barrier to learning because they are teacher-centered, allowing instructors to control the reward and punishment cycle. When grades are given, earning high marks often replaces learning as the educational goal. In response to this concern, many undergraduate composition instructors have implemented ungrading, an assessment method in …

Targeted, Neha Joshi May 2023

Targeted, Neha Joshi

Theses

The document is about the impact of targeted advertising on individuality and the loss of privacy. I describe my personal experience of being influenced by advertisements and how it led me to question my identity. I highlight how algorithms use personal information to categorize people and target them with specific ads, leading to a loss of privacy. I also argue that the internet has provided us with platforms to promote ourselves, but we lose our identity in the process of being boxed up and targeted by advertisements. I conclude by emphasizing the importance of recognizing and spreading awareness about the …

Parkinson’S Disease – Palliative Care Needs Assessment Tool: Adaptation And Psychometric Testing, Edward William Richfield, Victoria Allgar, Afaf Girgis, Miriam J. Johnson May 2023

Parkinson’S Disease – Palliative Care Needs Assessment Tool: Adaptation And Psychometric Testing, Edward William Richfield, Victoria Allgar, Afaf Girgis, Miriam J. Johnson

Peninsula Medical School

OBJECTIVE: Parkinson's disease is a progressive, life-limiting disease, which benefits from structured palliative care. Systematic recognition and triage of needs helps facilitate care, allows focused referral to specialist palliative care and aids sustainability of services. Existing palliative care tools for Parkinson's are patient/caregiver completed and focus on quantification rather than identification of the need. The Needs Assessment Tool: Progressive Disease in Cancer was designed for rapid identification of unmet needs in cancer. We describe adaptation and psychometric testing of the tool for Parkinson's disease (NAT:Parkinson's disease). METHODS: Set in secondary care, Parkinson's disease outpatient clinics in the UK, this study …

Emotion-Focused Dyadic Coping Styles Used By Family Carers Of People With Dementia During The Covid-19 Pandemic, C Colclough, E Miles, J Rusted, R Perach, Et Al

Peninsula Medical School

Emotional wellbeing of family carers and people with dementia is associated with not only how each individual copes with stress and conflict, but also by how they cope together. Finding ways to positively cope together was particularly important during COVID-19 lockdown restrictions, when other avenues of emotional support were less available. We explored how carers experienced and used emotion-focused dyadic coping styles during the COVID-19 pandemic. In-depth qualitative interviews were conducted during the pandemic with 42 family carers, supplemented by quality of life scores collected both pre- and during the pandemic and household status. Abductive thematic analysis identified five styles …

Limits On Biomedical Research: Whether, Why, And How, Christine Grady May 2023

Limits On Biomedical Research: Whether, Why, And How, Christine Grady

Health Matrix: The Journal of Law-Medicine

This article examines the limitations of laws and regulations in regulating biomedical research. While laws and regulations can serve as guardrails to limit certain research studies, they are often blunt instruments that struggle to keep up with the rapid pace of scientific progress. Moreover, laws in one jurisdiction may not be binding on others, making it difficult to regulate the global scientific community. The article argues that regulatory parsimony should be exercised, imposing regulations only where they work and not where they are unhelpful. The article also explores the ethical considerations surrounding biomedical research and its impact on society, including …

Eula, Or Eulogy? Reckoning End User License Agreements And Near-Future Cyborgs, Owen Carpenter May 2023

Eula, Or Eulogy? Reckoning End User License Agreements And Near-Future Cyborgs, Owen Carpenter

Health Matrix: The Journal of Law-Medicine

Integrated biotechnology is a quickly-approaching future legal issue that will blur the line between technology and person. The technology will likely run through some kind of software, and users of the technology will likely need to agree to some type of licensing agreement to use the software. End User License Agreements (“EULAs”) as they exist today have terms and clauses that will be problematic when applied to an implanted artificial heart, a replacement for the human eye that enhances vision, or other types of integrated technology. Current FDA regulation and EULAs are insufficient to deal with the problems that technology …

Splitting Deceased Donor Livers To Double The Transplant Benefits: Addressing The Legal, Ethical, And Practical Challenges, Evelyn M. Tenenbaum, Jed Adam Gross May 2023

Splitting Deceased Donor Livers To Double The Transplant Benefits: Addressing The Legal, Ethical, And Practical Challenges, Evelyn M. Tenenbaum, Jed Adam Gross

Health Matrix: The Journal of Law-Medicine

Liver transplantation is different from transplanting other solid organs because some recipients can achieve good long-term outcomes with only half of a donor’s liver (or less). This means that some deceased donor livers can be split, saving two lives instead of one. However, although more than 10 percent of cadaveric livers meet the criteria for splitting, only about 1.5 percent are actually split in the United States. This article identifies a set of ethical, legal, and logistical challenges to a more extensive use of split liver transplantation (SLT) within existing legal frameworks. We then discuss how each of these challenges …

Evidence For Community Face Masking To Limit The Spread Of Sars-Cov-2: A Critical Review, Ian T. Liu, Vinay Prasad, Jonathan D. Darrow May 2023

Evidence For Community Face Masking To Limit The Spread Of Sars-Cov-2: A Critical Review, Ian T. Liu, Vinay Prasad, Jonathan D. Darrow

Health Matrix: The Journal of Law-Medicine

The use of facemasks in community settings has become an accepted public policy response to decrease disease transmission during the COVID-19 pandemic. Yet evidence of facemask efficacy is based primarily on observational studies that are subject to confounding and on mechanistic studies that rely on surrogate endpoints (such as droplet dispersion) as proxies for disease transmission. The available clinical evidence of facemask efficacy is of low quality and the best available clinical evidence has mostly failed to show efficacy, with fourteen of sixteen identified randomized controlled trials comparing face masks to no mask controls failing to find statistically significant benefit …

Exploration Of The Relationships Between Principal Preparation Program Admission Requirements And Program Performance, Summer Pannell May 2023

Exploration Of The Relationships Between Principal Preparation Program Admission Requirements And Program Performance, Summer Pannell

School Leadership Review

Admission criteria for principal preparation programs vary from state to state and even amongst universities within the same state. Despite the recommendation nearly two decades ago to connect admission criteria to leadership standards, little research has been done to help develop such criteria. This study examined principal preparation program admissions requirements at one southern university to determine if a relationship existed between admission criteria, academic program performance, and performance on educational leadership licensure assessments. The Pearson product-moment correlation found a statistically significant correlation between, both, the GRE and GRE Writing assessments and the School Leadership Licensure Assessment for educational administrator …

Breast Tissue Tumor Detection Using Microstrip Patch Antenna With Defected Ground Structure, Nihal F. F. Areed, Hamdi Ahmed El Mikati, Laila T. Rakha May 2023

Breast Tissue Tumor Detection Using Microstrip Patch Antenna With Defected Ground Structure, Nihal F. F. Areed, Hamdi Ahmed El Mikati, Laila T. Rakha

Mansoura Engineering Journal

This work proposes a slotted microstrip patch antenna with an inset feed and defective ground structure (DGS). The proposed antenna is built with Roger-RT/5880 (Ԑr=2.2) as the substrate material for X-band application with a resonant frequency of 10 GHz. The proposed design has been simulated using Finite Element Method (FEM) and the results of bandwidth and gain read about 700MHz and 8dB; respectively. The suggested design is compared with previously published equivalent designs in light of the most recent research. The comparison reveal that that the suggested design with tuned dimensions offers higher gain and wider bandwidth than what has …

Amplifying Tutor Voices: A Qualitative Analysis For Improving Writing Center Tutoring Practices And Pedagogy, Leah Washko May 2023

Amplifying Tutor Voices: A Qualitative Analysis For Improving Writing Center Tutoring Practices And Pedagogy, Leah Washko

English Department Masters Theses

Within the walls of university writing centers, tutors and tutees collaborate. They discuss writing, but even more than that, they communicate about ideas and theories bigger than themselves, all while discovering their identities. Exploration of how tutors define their authority and agency, while also highlighting the importance of tutors’ voices, is necessary for the continuation of writing center studies. Writing center tutors’ roles may be understood by some, but the mental hurdles, the questioning natures, and the care-giver roles they are emersed into need to be further investigated. Through a study conducted at Kutztown University’s Writing Center, tutors were surveyed …
