Pediatric Chronic Pain And Anxiety And Depression Symptoms: The Association With Parenting Stress, Alison Vrabec Jan 2024

Pediatric Chronic Pain And Anxiety And Depression Symptoms: The Association With Parenting Stress, Alison Vrabec

Theses - ALL

As many as 38% of children experience chronic pain, and of these children about 26% have a comorbid mental health diagnosis. Parents of children with a chronic health condition demonstrate elevations in stress when compared to parents with healthy children. It is likely that when chronic pain is comorbid with mental health disorders, parents may experience greater stress. Social isolation and financial burdens may be associated with parenting stress, which may be even higher in parents of children with chronic pain compared to parents of children without chronic pain. While most pediatric chronic pain literature focuses on how parenting behaviors …


A Cross-Sectional Study Of Hpv Vaccination Intentions Among College Students, Lyric Tully Jan 2024

A Cross-Sectional Study Of Hpv Vaccination Intentions Among College Students, Lyric Tully

Theses - ALL

Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most prevalent sexually transmitted infection in the United States, however only 10 to 48.92% of college students aged 18-26 report being vaccinated against HPV. Although constructs within the Health Belief Model (HBM) and the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) have been shown to explain variance in HPV vaccine intentions, theory-based interventions to increase HPV vaccination intentions have not yielded promising results. The 5C model of vaccination readiness was developed to understand vaccine hesitancy and contains a unique construct, collective responsibility, previously not used to examine HPV vaccine behavior. This cross-sectional, internet-based survey study with college …

The Evolution Of The Pan African Women’S Organization (Pawo): A Case Study Of Women’S Involvement In Pan-Africanism, Shukri Abdirahman Mohamed Jan 2024

The Evolution Of The Pan African Women’S Organization (Pawo): A Case Study Of Women’S Involvement In Pan-Africanism, Shukri Abdirahman Mohamed

Theses - ALL

The thesis investigates how PAWO has engaged with and defined African cultural values and practices, while also examining the social and political challenges it has faced and its prospects as a social and political organization. The research explores the formation of PAWO during liberation movements in Africa, when women played pivotal roles in the creation of new nations. As the continent transitioned from liberation movements to government development, PAWO underwent significant transformations influenced by socioeconomic events and social developments. Key factors shaping PAWO's evolution include the emergence of "femnocrats" as women gained formal political roles, a decline in local women's …


Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (Bdnf) Signaling Mechanisms That Regulate Learning And Memory In Rats, Clementine Faye Harvey Jan 2024

Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (Bdnf) Signaling Mechanisms That Regulate Learning And Memory In Rats, Clementine Faye Harvey

Theses - ALL

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a widespread neurotrophin implicated in cellular processes underlying memory, socialization, and emotion; however, little is known about how genetic modification of BDNF interacts with BDNF modulators (e.g., hormones) to regulate BDNF-TrkB signaling. BDNF binds to the TrkB receptor and triggers signaling cascades underlying neuroplasticity, learning, and memory. Inhibitory phosphorylation of one downstream target of the BDNF cascade - GSK3β – is also linked to memory improvements. The Val66Met allele – a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the Bdnf gene - produces impairments in regulated BDNF release from the cell, as well as deficits in spatial …


Discrimination, Sleep Disturbances, And Drinking Frequency Among Racially Diverse Adolescents: A Follow-Up Prospective Study, Emma Schillinger Jan 2024

Discrimination, Sleep Disturbances, And Drinking Frequency Among Racially Diverse Adolescents: A Follow-Up Prospective Study, Emma Schillinger

Theses - ALL

Previous research has highlighted the role of discrimination experiences in the development and escalation of sleep disturbances and alcohol use among diverse adolescents. However, few studies have examined the role of discrimination experiences in the reciprocal sleep-alcohol relationship prospectively. The present study examined the prospective relationship among discrimination experiences, sleep disturbances, and alcohol use, and tested racial disparities within this risk pathway. Secondary analyses were conducted on the data drawn from a two-wave (Years 1 and 2; Y1 and Y2, respectively) online survey study of 414 high school students (Mage = 15.07 [SD = 1.19]; 57% female; 41% Black; 22% …

Literature Review Nature-Based Art Therapy Exploring Connections And Relationships, Janell Lopez-Curtis Jan 2024

Literature Review Nature-Based Art Therapy Exploring Connections And Relationships, Janell Lopez-Curtis

Expressive Therapies Capstone Theses

Art therapy is a modality used in clinical psychotherapy. It is supported through both quantitative and qualitative research. Branching out from art therapy is nature-based art therapy. This branch of expressive therapies holds the potential to be beneficial as art therapy due to the interconnected access to the scientific fields of ecology, ecopsychology, art therapy, expressive therapies, and other nature-based therapeutic activities; this includes intersectionality in ecological theories such as ecofeminism and deep ecology as well. Through an exploration of literature, this paper will provide definitions and theory-based support through reviewing clinical psychotherapy, evidence-based practices, and art therapy theories. The …

Seizure Of Russian Corporate Assets: Prosecution Of Russian Corporations For War Crimes In Ukraine As A Precursor To Seizure Of Frozen Corporate Assets In Foreign Jurisdictions, Milena Sterio, Federica D’Alessandra, Michael J. Kelly, Lydia Korostelova, Dmytro Koval Jan 2024

Seizure Of Russian Corporate Assets: Prosecution Of Russian Corporations For War Crimes In Ukraine As A Precursor To Seizure Of Frozen Corporate Assets In Foreign Jurisdictions, Milena Sterio, Federica D’Alessandra, Michael J. Kelly, Lydia Korostelova, Dmytro Koval

Law Faculty Reports and Comments

This White Paper proposes a criminal litigation pathway within a broader rule of law context for legally securing those assets, which Ukraine can then utilize to begin the rebuilding process without having to wait through more years of depredation and harsh winters. Doing so through a legal process such as that outlined in this White Paper is going to be key to Ukraine’s future as a democracy, as a candidate to join the European Union, as a candidate to join NATO, and as a rule of law society that is trusted and safe enough to attract substantial foreign direct investment.

Loper Bright And The Future Of Chevron Deference, Jack M. Beermann Jan 2024

Loper Bright And The Future Of Chevron Deference, Jack M. Beermann

William & Mary Law Review Online

This essay proposes that the Court overrule the Chevron two-step standard of review of agency statutory construction and replace it by reviving deference under the factors announced in the Skidmore case with a twist that preserves Chevron’s greatest virtue: agency freedom to alter its statutory interpretations so long as the agency remains within the zone of reasonable construction. This essay also proposes that the Court clarify the boundary between cases involving statutory construction and cases involving agency policy decisions that are reviewed under the arbitrary and capricious standard articulated in cases such as Motor Vehicles and Overton Park. …

A Research Center At The End Of The World A Study Of Local Writing Practices In A Global Context, Ana María Cortés Lagos Jan 2024

A Research Center At The End Of The World A Study Of Local Writing Practices In A Global Context, Ana María Cortés Lagos

Dissertations - ALL

How do transnational flows and collaborations shape scientific research writing? What role do local language practices play in a global science context? Or how do phenomena of globalization and internationalization impact the work of scientists writing for local audiences and “with a local eye”? Through a case study drawing on memory, archival material, and interviews, this dissertation explores the language practices of a team of vaccine researchers working from a country in the global semi-periphery (Chile). Drawing on elements of mobility, activity and genre theories, this study traces the work of these scientists across space and time and shows how …


Paradise Lost: The Effect Of Judicial Review On Congressional Debate, Laura E. Jenkins Jan 2024

Paradise Lost: The Effect Of Judicial Review On Congressional Debate, Laura E. Jenkins

Dissertations - ALL

How does judicial supremacy affect constitutional deliberation in Congress? Normative critics of judicial supremacy argue that judicial supremacy warps congressional debate by disincentivizing members of Congress from independently considering the moral and legal issues at stake in legislation. As this dissertation’s quantitative analysis, topic modeling, and qualitative textual analysis show, the Supreme Court’s decision in National Federation of Independent Business v. Sebelius (2012) disincentivized members of Congress from engaging in independent constitutional interpretation and normative argumentation. Before the Supreme Court’s decision in Sebelius, members of both parties debated the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act’s individual mandate and used constitutional …

Three Essays On Food Insecurity, Cognition, And Food Assistance In The Context Of Aging And Family Dynamics, Dongmei Zuo

Dissertations - ALL

This dissertation consists of three chapters pertaining to Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) participation, food insecurity, cognition impairment, and sibling correlation in SNAP participation over the life course. Participation in SNAP among eligible adults 60 and older is much lower than among the younger population, and rates continue to decline throughout the life course while, at the same time, the risk of cognitive impairment increases. The relationship between food insecurity and health outcomes among adults has garnered increasing attention. Some previous studies found an association between food insecurity and cognition outcomes among older adults. However, they were hampered by not …


Three Papers On Intergenerational Relationships In China, Wencheng Zhang Jan 2024

Three Papers On Intergenerational Relationships In China, Wencheng Zhang

Dissertations - ALL

This dissertation examines the changes in China's social and demographic landscape and their effects on adult children's relationships with their elderly parents. It focuses on how modernization, urban migration, lower birth rates, and an aging population have transformed traditional filial piety norms and intergenerational expectations in Chinese society. The first paper aims to investigate the association between children’s economic status and parents’ self-rated health and examine the potential mediating mechanisms for this relationship. Utilizing the 2014 wave of the China Longitudinal Aging Social Survey (CLASS), this study predicted parent’s self-rated health from children’s economic status using inverse probability of treatment …

Development And Validation Of Transportation Resilience Scale: An Empirical Study, Hilal Huseyinli Jan 2024

Development And Validation Of Transportation Resilience Scale: An Empirical Study, Hilal Huseyinli

Student Theses and Dissertations

Transportation resilience is quite ubiquitous topic among modern research works; however, a common characteristic of those papers is that they do not reveal the details of this topic from construction engineering and management perspectives. Therefore, there is no clear understanding of what factors in particular directly or indirectly impact the level of resilience in the transportation sphere.


Family Engagement: Barriers, Perceptions, And Responsibilities, Carla Jean Singleton Narlesky Jan 2024

Family Engagement: Barriers, Perceptions, And Responsibilities, Carla Jean Singleton Narlesky

Student Theses and Dissertations

Twenty years of research report that family engagement makes a difference in student achievement and well-being. However, most of that research was conducted in urban and suburban settings. Therefore, there is a vital need to explore family engagement in rural settings. This study focused on that. The purpose of this quantitative correlation study was to discover the barriers rural families face when engaging with their child’s school while understanding their perceptions, roles, and responsibilities towards establishing and creating a reciprocal family engagement partnership. Using Bronfenbrenner’s’ ecological systems theory, research was conducted focusing on the first layer, microsystem. Approximately 120 participants …
