Comparing Effectiveness Of Antecedent, Consequence, And Combined Strategies On Teacher Treatment Integrity, Catherine E. Hines

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

Classroom management strategies are used to create effective learning environments by reducing problem behavior. When classroom management strategies are not being implemented correctly it can create negative outcomes for teachers and students. By providing antecedent and/or consequence-based procedures treatment integrity can be improved. The purpose of this review was to examine literature on the effectiveness of antecedent, consequence, and combined procedures on teacher treatment integrity of classroom management strategies. Results indicate a significant increase on teacher adherence to classroom management interventions when a treatment integrity procedure is implemented as well. Limitations and future directions are discussed.

A Monte Carlo Analysis Of Standard Error-Based Methods In The Construction Of Standard Error Of Difference Bandwidths, Diljot Singh Kochhar

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

The purpose of this study is to examine the if the standard error of estimate (SEE) is more effective than the standard error of measurement (SEM) when used in the construction of use the standard error of the difference (SED)-based bandwidths. It was hypothesized that the standard error of estimate would be a more effective equation to use than the standard error or measurement because it allows for the estimation of a range of true scores around an observed score instead of the opposite scenario. To examine the effectiveness of the equations, a Monte Carlo analysis was employed to determine …

"How People Form Judgments Of Low-Income Individuals’ Spending On Basic Versus Higher-Order Needs ", Zheng Qi Di

Gabelli School of Business Honors Thesis Collection

This study investigates the impact of financial power on consumer behavior, specifically examining how low-income individuals' expenditure on higher-order psychological needs influences perceptions of their financial rationality and affects support for governmental aid. Drawing from Maslow's hierarchy of needs, which posits that human needs escalate from basic physiological to higher psychological levels such as belonging and self-esteem, this research explores societal judgments towards low-income individuals who allocate financial resources towards non-essential goods. Despite the intuitive understanding that fulfilling higher-order needs enhances well-being, there exists a prevalent belief that low-income individuals should prioritize basic needs. This study reveals that such expenditures …

Systematic Integration Of Applications Into The Surface Biology And Geology (Sbg) Earth Mission Architecture Study, Christine M. Lee, Nancy F. Glenn, E. Natasha Stavros, Jeff Luvall, Karen Yuen, Stephanie Schollaert Uz

Geosciences Faculty Publications and Presentations

The Surface Biology and Geology (SBG) concept is the first National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Earth mission to develop and implement systematic integration of science application needs at the architecture study stage. Prior NASA mission concept and planning activities presumed that science measurement needs would encompasss application measurement needs and so did not explicitly evaluate and include applications at this stage. However, the effort presented here identified, documented and integrated application needs that would not have been included by considering research science needs only. First, a low latency of no greater than 24 hr was identified as the optimal …

Femur Morphology In Healthy Infants And Young Children, Nathan P. Brown, Angela Thompson, Karen Bertocci, Natalie L. Adolphi, Lauren Dvorscak, Mary Clyde Pierce, Gina Bertocci

Pathology Research and Scholarship

The objective of this study was to characterize femur morphology in healthy infants and young children. Anterior-posterior (AP) radiographs of the femur from children age 0-3 years with no history of bone disease were obtained from two children's hospitals and one medical examiner's office. Femur morphological measures (bone length, minimum diaphysis diameter, growth plate width, and femur radius of curvature) and sectional structural measures were determined. Measures were described and compared based on subject age and mass. Relationships between measures and age and mass were evaluated. The 169 AP femur radiographs were obtained from 99 children (59.6% males, median age …

James Monroe Whitfield's "The Vision": Apocalypse And The Black Periodical Press, Magdalena Zapędowska

English Language and Literature: Faculty Publications

The pessimism of James Monroe Whitfield's long, only partially preserved poem "The Vision" is possibly without parallel in antebellum African American literature. Mobilizing African American and broader American culture's preoccupation with the end of the world, Whitfield turns to allegory and apocalyptic prophecy to represent the massive scale of human sacrifice in a nation founded on enslavement and colonial domination. "The Vision" theorizes the regimes of oppression shaping the antebellum social order through what I term an apocalyptic aesthetic of annihilation, which emerges from the interaction of the poem's thematic, affective, and formal components. This aesthetic is concerned with imminent …

Political Appointments And Outcomes In Federal District Courts, Ryan Hübert, Ryan W. Copus

Faculty Works

Using an original data set of around 70,000 civil rights cases heard by nearly 200 judges, we study the effect of presidential appointments to federal district courts. We provide the first causal estimates of whether lawsuits end differently depending on their assignment to either a Democratic or a Republican appointed judge. We show Republican appointees cause fewer settlements and more dismissals, favoring defendants by around 5 percentage points. We estimate a similarly sized effect for a sample of civil rights appeals heard in the Ninth Circuit, raising questions about the conventional wisdom that politics matters more at higher levels of …

The Right To Remain, Timothy E. Lynch

Faculty Works

Article 12.4 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) states, "No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of the right to enter his own country." Citizens clearly enjoy Article 12.4 rights, but this article demonstrates that this right reaches beyond the citizenry. Using customary methods of treaty interpretation, including reference to the ICCPR's preparatory works and the jurisprudence of the Human Rights Committee, this article demonstrates that Article 12.4 also forbids States from deporting long-term resident noncitizens both documented and undocumented - except under the rarest circumstances. As a result, the ICCPR right to remain in one's own …

Is The Chemical Genus Claim Really “Dead” At The Federal Circuit?: Part Ii, Christopher M. Holman

Faculty Works

A 2020 law review article entitled The Death of the Genus Claim (“Death”) purports to document a dramatic shift in the Federal Circuit’s interpretation of 35 U.S.C. 112(a)’s enablement and written description requirements, particularly as applied to chemical genus claims. According to the authors of Death, it has become nearly impossible to obtain a chemical genus claim that will be upheld as valid in the face of a challenge for overbreadth under Section 112(a). Death was cited extensively in Amgens’s successful petition for certiorari in Amgen v. Sanofi, a case asking the Supreme Court to overturn the Federal Circuit’s decision …

This article focuses on the important role law school deans play as protectors of innovation and faculty scholarship. Like all lawyers, deans have a duty as public citizens for justice and for legal reform when such reform is necessary for the public good. In this time of challenges, including the climate crisis and political upheaval, all lawyers must be sustainability lawyers and all must question the components of legal rules that potentially undermine our safety and democracy. Moving from a discussion of the duty of deans to the duty of lawyers generally, the article calls on lawyer leaders to address …

Symptom Cluster Profiles Following Traumatic Orthopaedic Injuries, Stephen Thomas Breazeale

Yale Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Dissertations

Traumatic orthopaedic injuries (TOIs), musculoskeletal injuries that result from physical trauma, affect millions of Americans, and cost more than cancer, diabetes, or heart disease annually. Post-injury symptoms of anxiety, depression, pain, sleep disturbance, and stressor-related disorders are common and associated with negative long-term outcomes. Individuals rarely experience a single symptom, but often experience them in clusters of 2 or more co-occurring symptoms. Symptom clusters can be phenotypically characterized by symptom cluster profiles that describe the common ways a group experiences a set of symptoms. Symptom cluster profiles may share biological underpinnings, yet research examining biological underpinnings of symptom cluster profiles …

The Impact Of Burnout On Career Commitment Among Physicians, Clergy, And Law Enforcement During The Covid-19 Pandemic: A Quantitative Study, Christopher L. Clem

PhD in Organizational Leadership

The long-term effects of the COVID-19 crisis among helping professionals such as physicians, law enforcement officers, and clergy remain unknown. The strain and enormous stress encountered by these professionals are profound and concerning (Benham et al., 2020; Greene et al., 2020; Stogner et al., 2020). In this study, the researcher explored the effects of burnout (emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and personal accomplishment) on career commitment among helping professionals including physicians, law enforcement officers, and clergy during the COVID-19 pandemic. Further, the findings provided insight on the general causes and effects of burnout including possible solutions to counter its effects. Additionally, the …

A Damaged Reputation: Nuclear Depictions In Entertainment Media, Alexander Cannon

Chemistry & Biochemistry Student Scholarship

This paper, originally written for Dr. Adamus Liotta in an honors chemistry class, explores the possibility of a significant influence over public common sense found in the depictions of entertainment media. Through careful analysis and interpretation of Godzilla, The Simpsons, Fallout, and Call of Duty, this paper finds a synergy throughout this diverse range of audience, medium and historical origin, which culminates in an effect much greater than the sum of its parts. This effect frames nuclear science, of any kind, in a hyperbolically catastrophic and horrific light, reinforcing an excessively cautious, pessimistic public perspective on nuclear technology …

Development And Kinetic Survey Of A G148t Mutant Human Cytosolic Malate Dehydrogenase Isoform 3 Enzyme With Oxaloacetate And A-Ketoglutarate, Ethan N. Dionne

Chemistry & Biochemistry Student Scholarship

Cancer cells often use an altered metabolic pathway in which glycolysis, uncoupled from the citric acid cycle, serves as the primary source of ATP. To support cancer cell proliferation and growth, the glycolytic enzyme glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) must have a constant source of NAD. While lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in its conversion of pyruvate to lactate is a well-known source of cytosolic NAD for GAPDH activity, cytosolic malate dehydrogenase (MDH1) also plays a role in cell proliferation through its generation of cytosolic NAD by the conversion of OAA to malate. This development has implicated MDH1 in cancer cell metabolism and characterizing …
