A Quality Improvement Project On Risk Stratification And Screening For Sleep Apnea In Cardiology Outpatient Setting, Ma Vanessa S. Mabazza

Doctor of Nursing Practice Scholarly Projects

Abstract

Background: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is the most prevalent sleep disorder and is strongly associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD), but remains widely underdiagnosed due to inconsistent and non-standardized screening practices in outpatient settings.

Local Problem: Patients with CVD were reported to be diagnosed with OSA following sleep studies at an outpatient cardiology clinic. The need for a consistent, evidence-based approach to risk-stratification and screening was recognized.

Aim: The aim of this project was to increase the OSA risk stratification rate among new adult cardiology patients from 53% to at least 85% over a 16-week implementation period by incorporating the …

More Bookman Than Bookerite: William Stanley Braithwaite And Poetic Stereotypes, Susanna Ashton

Publications

William Stanley Braithwaite (1878–1962) began his life with printed words as a printer’s apprentice with Ginn and Company in Massachusetts. Unlike Benjamin Franklin, Walt Whitman, William Dean Howells, and Mark Twain, all of whom began their meteoric literary careers by typesetting, Braithwaite’s rise was thwarted by the cultural stereotyping around race. It isn’t surprising, therefore, that throughout his career as anthologizer, publisher, poet, critic, and Boston Evening Transcript columnist, William Stanley Braithwaite used his facility with type to inform valuations of narrative and language with an eye not to race-blind aspects of literature, but to ways race might be recognized …

Theorizing Gender And Social Movements Beyond The Binary, Nancy Whittier

Sociology: Faculty Books

This innovative Handbook examines how gender shapes social activism and is shaped by activism. With a unique interdisciplinary focus, it explores the effects of the gender binary on experiences of activism, considering how different movements negotiate and, at times, challenge these traditional conceptions. It then moves beyond the binary to explore how gender is challenged by contemporary movements.

Expert authors discuss the impact and limitations of the gender binary, using examples such as the MeToo movement to demonstrate how viewing men and women as separate, monolithic categories results in countless differences being overlooked. Chapters present a range of global and …

Disseminating Evidence-Based Assessments To Educators In South Africa And Vietnam Through Behavioural Skills Training, Andresa A. De Souza, Dani M. Pizzella, Cong Van Tran, Nicolette V. Roman

Educator Preparation & Leadership Faculty Works

Students’ interfering behaviour is a common concern among educators working in special and general education classrooms. Interfering behaviour can significantly compromise students’ educational experiences and educators’ ability to create a conducive learning environment. Evidence-based assessments and interventions for interfering behaviour in the classroom involve identifying the variables in the student’s immediate environment influencing these behaviours. There has been little to no dissemination of evidence-based assessments for classroom management in developing nations such as South Africa and Vietnam. In the current study, we used a single-case design to assess the effectiveness and acceptability of behavioural skills training (BST) in teaching educators …

What Causes Democratic Backsliding In Latin America? A Comparative Case Study Of Brazil, Chile, El Salvador, And Costa Rica, Samantha Foshee

Honors Program Theses

This study examines the causes of democratic backsliding in Latin America, comparing Brazil, Chile, El Salvador, and Costa Rica. Events like the January 8th, 2023 riot in Brazil and the use of intimidation tactics by President Bukele in El Salvador demonstrate the erosion that these two countries have faced. On the other hand, Chile and Costa Rica have maintained stable democracies. This study aims to understand what caused these countries’ different paths by examining the levels of political polarization, party deterioration, citizen dissatisfaction, and the presence of populist leaders. Overall, it was found that polarization and party deterioration increase the …

Sylvan Rhetoric In The Planes Of Plato’S Phaedrus, Madison Jones

Professional and Public Writing Faculty Publications

Over the past few decades, Plato’s Phaedrus has become an important text for scholars interested in tracing new materialist approaches to the history of rhetoric and writing. Drawing on rhetoric and plant studies scholarship, this essay contributes to this conversation by arguing that trees disclose an important layer of irony in the dialogue, producing a deep, if not ambivalent, unity that brings together rhetoric, writing, and discourse. Through a study of trees in the dialogue, this essay demonstrates how the Phaedrus offers rich connections between spatial, nonhuman, and ecological dimensions of writing, rhetoric, and discourse.

Machine Learning-Driven Music Genre Recognition, Redeate Kidanue

All Undergraduate Theses and Capstone Projects

Music is a tool that has been integrated into society for thousands of years; it has influenced social aspects of life and has also aided in communication. Today we have various uses for music that go past our traditional uses for entertainment and self-expression. For example, music therapy has been seen to show improvements in patients with Alzheimer’s disease, depression, and PTSD. Additionally, music has played a role in political movements, demonstrating its emotional power. Social media relies heavily on the music industry as many social media posts include music either in the background, or as the forefront of posts. …

Syntheses And Characterization Of Isomeric 3-Bromopropanol Capped Oligoviologens, Marcus Anthony White

Theses, Dissertations and Capstones

The work described in this thesis has generated new oligoviologen structures designed to facilitate the formation of supermolecules that incorporate photoactive and redox-active groups. These viologens have several potential uses; for example, the 4+ oligoviologen (viologen 5) exhibits solvatochromic properties in various polar protic and polar aprotic solvents, indicating suitability for use as a solvatochromic dye. The syntheses of bis(4,4’-bipyridine)ortho-xylene, bis(4,4’-bipyridine)meta-xylene, and bis(4,4’-bipyridine)para-xylene were demonstrated through ¹H NMR characterization and confirmed through literature. Bis(4,4’-bipyridine)ortho-xylene, bis(4,4’-bipyridine)meta-xylene, and bis(4,4’-bipyridine)para-xylene were produced in 68%, 72%, and 54% yields, respectively. 4,4’-Bipyridine-1-[4-(bromomethyl)phenylmethyl]-1’- …

01. Harry Stottlemeier's Discovery (Novel - Ebook), Matthew Lipman

Middle School Curriculum

One day Harry finds himself giving the wrong answer in science class and begins to wonder where he has gone wrong. This reflection soon involves his classmates, who begin to think together about the nature of thinking, inquiry and knowledge. With the help of their teacher, Harry and his classmates discover rules of formal and informal logic, relational logic and hypothetical thinking—-not as ends in themselves, but as tools in helping them understand themselves and their world. Some of the ideas they begin to explore this way include education, mind, rights, religion, art, cause and effect, causes and reasons, and …
