The Craft Of Tally: Tracing Marketability And Economic Sustainability Of Crafts, Mariam Mabrouk

Theses and Dissertations

This thesis explores the marketability and economic sustainability of the Tally craft in Gezeirit

Shandaweel, Sohag, Egypt, with a focus on how the craft navigates the tension between cultural

preservation and economic adaptation. Tally, a traditional form of embroidery, has deep cultural

roots in Egypt but faces significant challenges due to global market dynamics, shifting consumer

preferences, and systemic institutional neglect. Through an ethnographic case study, this research

investigates how artisans, institutions, and market forces interact to shape the craft's future. The

study examines the role of cultural perceptions, innovation, and institutional support in fostering

or hindering Tally's economic viability. …

Background

The effectiveness of endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) for low Alberta Stroke Program Early CT score (ASPECTS) stroke patients with occlusion of the second segment of the middle cerebral artery (M2) is unclear.

Methods

This was a multicenter retrospective study. Patients with M1 or M2 occlusions and low ASPECTS (< 6) who underwent successful EVT (modified treatment in cerebral ischemia score of 2b or higher) were included. Primary outcome was futile EVT reperfusion (defined as 90-day modified Rankin scale of 5 or 6). Other outcomes of interest include acceptable outcomes (modified Rankin scale of 3 or less) and intracranial hemorrhage (ICH), and all-cause 90-day mortality. Outcomes for M1 patients were compared to M2 patients with multivariable logistic regression models accounting for potential confounders.

Results

173 patients with M1 or M2 occlusions and low ASPECTS (< 6) who underwent successful EVT were identified. After multivariable adjustments, M2 patients had significantly higher odds of futile reperfusion (OR 5.48 [95%CI 1.91 to 15.7], p = 0.002), lower odds of acceptable outcomes (OR 0.33 [95%CI 0.12 to 0.89], p = 0.028), and higher odds of all-cause mortality (OR 4.90 [95%CI 1.65 to 14.5], p = 0.004). These findings suggest that EVT's efficacy for low-ASPECTS stroke patients may be diminished for patients with M2 occlusions. M2 occlusion was not significantly associated with ICH.

Conclusions

Among low-ASEPCTS stroke patients who underwent successful EVT, those with M2 occlusions had significantly higher odds of poor outcome compared to those with M1 occlusions.

Integrating Endocannabinoid Signaling, Cck Interneurons, And Hippocampal Circuit Dynamics In Behaving Animals, Shreya Malhotra, Florian Donneger, Jordan S Farrell, Barna Dudok, Attila Losonczy, Ivan Soltesz

Faculty, Staff and Students Publications

The brain's endocannabinoid signaling system modulates a diverse range of physiological phenomena and is also involved in various psychiatric and neurological disorders. The basic components of the molecular machinery underlying endocannabinoid-mediated synaptic signaling have been known for decades. However, limitations associated with the short-lived nature of endocannabinoid lipid signals had made it challenging to determine the spatiotemporal specificity and dynamics of endocannabinoid signaling in vivo. Here, we discuss how novel technologies have recently enabled unprecedented insights into endocannabinoid signaling taking place at specific synapses in behaving animals. In this review, we primarily focus on cannabinoid-sensitive inhibition in the hippocampus in …

Examining Family Accommodation In Early Childhood, Allison Smith Dupre

LSU Doctoral Dissertations

The relationship between parent and child anxiety is well established. One factor that may account for this relationship is family accommodation (how family members alter their behavior to alleviate child distress). Family accommodation has been studied in child anxiety for the past decade and has been linked to increased parent and child anxiety. However, little research has focused on a young sample without clinical elevations of anxiety. Acknowledging the impact of family accommodation on child anxiety, the strong link between parent anxiety and accommodation, and the importance of early intervention, this study aimed to expand the literature of family accommodation …

Ai-Enabled System For Efficient Data Storage, Debdeep Bandyopadhyay, Alok Roy, Prajna Shetty

Defensive Publications Series

The present disclosure relates to methods and systems for efficiently storing data based on reinforcement learning and actor-critic models. An agent, comprising a “chunking actor” and a “redundancy critic” can segment various types of computer files into “dynamic segments” and “redundant segments” and store those segments in a dynamic datastore and a redundant datastore respectively. In general terms, redundant segments can comprise segments of files that exist “redundantly” among multiple files stored by the system, such as header information. Dynamic data segments can comprise data segments that are unique or generally unique to their respective files. By identifying redundant data …

Defining “Inclusion”: Scholars’ Use And Operationalization In Major Physical Education Journals, Jenna Fesemyer, Justin Haegele, Wesley J. Wilson

International Symposium of Adapted Physical Activity and International Symposium on Physical Activity and Visual Impairment and Deafblindness

Introduction
The word “inclusion” has been vaguely defined since its formulation, despite its ubiquity in physical education literature and practice (Imray & Colley, 2017). Without clear meaning, the term’s proliferation has created space for multiple understandings to the detriment of building capacity to meaningfully enhance the concept in social justice and educational contexts (Cobigo et al., 2012). To better understand its use, our purpose in this study was to analyze how “inclusion” is used in scholarship published in well-known physical education journals. This study advances ISAPA’s theme “Creating New Opportunities to Thrive,” by fostering awareness for stakeholders in education environments …

Inclusive Experiences Through Alpine Skiing? Perspectives Towards Inclusion By People With Visual Impairments, Felix Oldörp, Martin Giese

International Symposium of Adapted Physical Activity and International Symposium on Physical Activity and Visual Impairment and Deafblindness

Introduction The United Nations considers sports in its 2030 Agenda as an effective tool for the social inclusion of people with disabilities (United Nations, 2015). Despite its importance in the social and sporting context, the concept of inclusion often remains vague and frequently focuses one-sidedly on a “placement approach” (Haegele & Wilson, 2022, p. 25). A space labelled as inclusive does not determine whether it is really experienced as inclusive. Because inclusion is individual (Hiemstra & Rama, 2024). In a study by Oldörp et al. (2024), blind tennis players describe their sport as inclusive, depending on their own understanding of …
