Do Social Determinants Of Health Affect Tooth Retention For American Indian/Alaska Native (Ai/An) Adults?, Vae Day

Summer Research Showcase

American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) adults face severe dental disparities due to social determinants of health (SDOH). This study examines how socioeconomic, functional, and cognitive factors influence access to dental care. Quantitative analysis was conducted using SPSS Statistics. Chi-square testing and logistic regression evaluated relationships between variables. Using a strengths-based approach to this research, the outcome variable was recoded to measure “teeth retained” instead of “teeth removed due to tooth decay or gum disease”. Analyses revealed that tooth retention and healthcare access significantly increase with favorable SDOH, including reliable transportation, household income, ability to complete errands independently, having insurance, and retained …

The History And Importance Of Self-Compassion: Lack Of Application In Male Demographics?, Marshall Spilane

Summer Research Showcase

Self-compassion has become an important part of mental health research, though its adoption in male populations has been slower than in others. The objective of this literature review is to expose a lack of implementation of self-compassion practices in male communities. This literature review explores this gap in adoption and provides an example of how research can move forward. The data were collected by analyzing current literature and compiling it. Current research on self-compassion has found evidence that self-compassion can improve emotional regulation and lessen depression symptoms. Many factors could influence the gap in adoption; some research suggests that mental …

Faculty Insights On Teaching Self-Determination Skills In Postsecondary Education, Jacqueline Lubin

International Journal of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education

While self-determination skills may serve as a predictor of success in higher education, limited research exists on faculty attitudes toward teaching these skills to students with and without disabilities. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine faculty’s knowledge of self-determination and perception of teaching self-determination skills to all college students. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and multivariate analysis of variance. Findings indicated that while the majority of participants were familiar with the term “self-determination,” and recognized its instructional value, their responses varied on their likelihood to teach skills. On average, faculty reported being somewhat likely to …

Say What You Know: Administering Group Oral Examinations In Undergraduate And Graduate Courses, Lenore Wright, Andrew Arterbury

International Journal of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education

This essay offers a critical reflection on the pedagogical benefits of this format, examining its impact on both instructors and students, while also addressing the practical and logistical challenges encountered in its sustained use. In the context of the rapid proliferation of artificial intelligence and the corresponding complications it introduces for traditional assessment practices, the authors argue that group oral examinations have gained renewed significance. Specifically, they highlight the capacity of this approach to promote …

Contextualizing Second Language Anxiety In Multilingual Higher Education: Classroom Conditions And Clinical Settings, Busayo O. Ige

International Journal of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education

In South African universities, multilingual students whose first language is not English face distinct challenges that impact academic participation and success. This qualitative study examines how second language (L2) anxiety shapes first-year students’ classroom and clinical experiences at the University of Cape Town. Drawing on open-ended survey data, the study reveals that fear of negative evaluation, communicative apprehension, and prevailing language ideologies contribute to students’ reluctance to speak, feelings of invisibility, and withdrawal from engagement. Although anxiety tends to lessen over time, it rarely disappears completely. Notably, students experienced anxiety differently across settings: classroom discussions elicited greater fear and self-censorship, …

Academic Development As Mentoring In Online Education: Perspectives From Australia., Bopelo Boitshwarelo Dr, Claire Aitchison Dr

International Journal of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education

In recent years, Australian universities have intensified efforts to respond to the growing demand for remote and online study. This shift has underscored the need for academics who are appropriately prepared to design, develop, deliver, and evaluate high-quality online courses. Mentoring represents a key practice that can support the development of such expertise. However, formalized and well-established mentoring practices are not consistently present across Australian higher education institutions. In contrast, most universities maintain academic development units tasked with enhancing teaching capacity, particularly in relation to online learning. This paper conceptualizes aspects of academic development practice as a form of mentoring. …

Mandate Lifecycle Extensions For Agentic Payment Credentials, Matthew T. Kirby

Defensive Publications Series

Autonomous AI agents, including large language model (LLM) agents, increasingly originate payment authorization requests under stored, cryptographically signed mandates derived from natural-language instructions. Existing frameworks verify machine-enforceable constraints — amount, payee, merchant — at transaction time; existing art separately teaches similarity-based transaction screening, single-use transaction-linked authorization credentials, decoupled out-of-band authentication, versioned credential supersession with freshness proofs, and attested display of transaction details. No reference teaches the lifecycle coupling specified here: (1) suspending a payment authorization request when a similarity score between a salted, committed embedding of the natural-language instruction — bound into the signed mandate with a pinned scoring stack …

Concurrent Multi-User Testing Framework, Yabin Huang, Dan Shi

Defensive Publications Series

Vehicle infotainment platforms, often referred to as in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) systems, undergo extensive testing covering device compatibility, safety compliance, and system security and stability. However, testing concurrent user interactions in multi-user and multi-display environments remains insufficient. Moreover, traditional single-user testing cannot detect concurrency-specific bugs, such as race conditions or data corruption, and custom-built concurrent tests lack scalability. This publication describes a concurrent multi-user testing system that solves existing testing solution shortcomings by detecting concurrency-related bugs using a simultaneous, isolated testing framework (or parallel execution software validation environment), reusing pre-existing tests for high scalability. Such a system enables simultaneous multi-tenant testing …

Autonomous Cryogenic Two-Stage In-Loop Sealing Of Microdefects Using Circulating Nanocapsulated Agents (Actis), Volodymyr Kotegov

Defensive Publications Series

Operation of large-scale cryogenic installations—particle accelerators, fusion reactors, space propulsion stages and quantum systems—demands continuous maintenance of leak-tightness in coolant and liquefied-gas circulation loops. Conventional methods for locating and repairing microleaks through intergranular pores of structural materials and microcracks in welded joints require complete shutdown of equipment, prolonged thermal recovery of isolated sectors and external mechanical intervention.

This publication presents a method of Autonomous Cryogenic Two-Stage In-Loop Sealing (ACTIS) in which the working cryogenic fluid itself serves as the carrier medium for functional nanocapsules. The ACTIS method relies on thermodynamic, mechanical, and electro-inductive triggers operating in a dual-stage sequence. Upon …

Between Care And Competence: Rethinking Alternative Provision., Helen V. Mulligan

Plymouth Interdisciplinary Education Open Journal

This opinion piece argues that Alternative Provision (AP) in England is failing to meet the needs of vulnerable young people due to inconsistent staffing, inadequate specialist training, and the normalisation of low educational expectations. Although some AP settings demonstrate high aspirations and committed practice, the sector as a whole remains marked by variability and a lack of coherent pedagogical structure. Drawing on research into educational inequality, emotional labour, ethics of care, and professional identity, the paper contends that systemic reform is urgently required. Recommended actions include mandatory specialist training for AP staff, national standards for curriculum and pedagogy, stronger accountability …

Best Practices For Implementing Culturally Responsive Teaching In The Elementary Music Classroom To Promote Student Equity, Inclusion, And Cultural Representation, Anne E. Champa

Graduate Teacher Education

This paper examined the best practices for incorporating culturally responsive teaching into the elementary music classroom to promote equity, inclusion, and cultural representation. As classrooms become more diverse, educators must adapt their curriculum and instructional practices to ensure all of their students' needs are met. Unlike regular classroom elementary school teachers, who work with a small group of students for the entire school year, elementary music teachers work with every student in the building. Therefore, elementary music teachers are in a unique position to effectively lead with a culturally responsive curriculum. This literature review was organized into three overarching themes …
