Art And Reentry: A Study On The Role Of Art Programs In The Reentry Of Formerly Incarcerated People, Angelina Paulus Dec 2025

Art And Reentry: A Study On The Role Of Art Programs In The Reentry Of Formerly Incarcerated People, Angelina Paulus

Honors Theses

Arts programs are a well-established method of rehabilitation in prisons, yet limited research has examined the role of arts programs specifically during the post-incarceration reentry process. This qualitative study explores how participation in an arts-based reentry program shapes the emotional, social, and identity-related experience of formerly incarcerated individuals during reentry. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with five formerly incarcerated men who formerly participated in As We Emerge, a performance-based theater and monologue program offered through EMERGE Connecticut in New Haven, CT. Using inductive thematic analysis, three primary themes emerged: (1) processing emotions, (2) the development of social support and community connections, …

Spatial Ecology And Population Dynamics Of Chukar Partridge, Jacob Taft Barnes Dec 2025

Spatial Ecology And Population Dynamics Of Chukar Partridge, Jacob Taft Barnes

Theses and Dissertations

Chukar (Alectoris chukar) are a non-native bird that has naturalized in North America following its introduction over a century ago. Today, the species supports hunting opportunities in 11 U.S. states and one Canadian province. Despite its wide distribution and recreational value, key aspects of chukar ecology remain poorly understood. Limited information is available on the species' spatial ecology, including patterns of space use. Likewise, information regarding the influence of weather on population dynamics of chukar has not been formally conducted. As part of our investigation, we evaluated the space use of chukar in western Utah, USA utilizing GPS transmitters (Chapter …

Early-To-Rise And Mobility, Opal Livelee, Helen Grace Baldo Dec 2025

Early-To-Rise And Mobility, Opal Livelee, Helen Grace Baldo

Biennial Convention (CONV)

Background: Immobility in hospitalized patients presents numerous physical and physiological complications. Evidence suggests circadian variation negatively impacts various bodily functions and overall quality of life. Interventions such as waking patients during the day and keeping them active can help maintain a normal sleep-wake cycle. This early-to-rise and mobility project builds on a successful pilot in the hospital’s stroke unit that demonstrated a decrease in the length of stay (LOS) of stroke patients after three months.

Purpose: To prevent complications and improve efficiency, the project aims to increase patients’ mobility, decrease patients’ LOS, and lower the LOS index.

Methods: The Plan, …

Energy Input–Output Meta-Analysis Reveals Algal Diesel Struggles To Break Even, Michelle M. Arnold, David J. R. Murphy, Christopher L. Lant Dec 2025

Energy Input–Output Meta-Analysis Reveals Algal Diesel Struggles To Break Even, Michelle M. Arnold, David J. R. Murphy, Christopher L. Lant

Environment and Society Student Research

Algal biofuels have been investigated as an alternative to fossil fuels and first-generation biofuels for transportation in the United States since the 1970s. Yet after five decades of development, scalability and implementation remain limited—largely due to persistent barriers such as low biomass productivity, modest lipid yields, and energy-intensive processing methods. These technical challenges significantly constrain the feasibility of large-scale commercialization despite substantial research and investment. To evaluate progress toward commercial viability, this study harmonized energy inputs and outputs across 508 observations on the production of algal biofuel energy return on energy investment (EROEI) in the United States. While bioethanol achieves …

Accurate Imputation Of Pathway-Specific Gene Expression In Spatial Transcriptomics With Pasta, Ruoxing Li, Peng Yang, Mauro Di Pilato, Jianjun Zhang, Christopher R Flowers, Lulu Shang, Ziyi Li

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

Mapping the entire transcriptome at single-cell resolution under its natural spatial context is essential for investigating the oncogenesis and progression of diseases. The recently emerged targeted in-situ technologies retain the spatial organization of cells at high resolution, although they remain limited in the number of genes that can be simultaneously measured. To overcome this obstacle, numerous computational methods have been developed to predict unmeasured gene expression in spatial transcriptomics data by leveraging scRNA-seq data. Most of these methods focus on the expression of individual genes and usually generate highly variable predictions. In this study, we introduce PASTA (PAthway-oriented Spatial gene …

Quantitative Profiling Of Intratumor Immune Heterogeneity Identifies Loss Of Immune Diversity As A Hallmark Of Cancer Progression, Qiqi Lu, Jiangti Luo, Chia-Hao Tung, Xiaosheng Wang, Zhongming Zhao Dec 2025

Quantitative Profiling Of Intratumor Immune Heterogeneity Identifies Loss Of Immune Diversity As A Hallmark Of Cancer Progression, Qiqi Lu, Jiangti Luo, Chia-Hao Tung, Xiaosheng Wang, Zhongming Zhao

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

Immunological intratumor heterogeneity (ImTH) describes the variability in the types, spatial distribution, and functional states of immune cells within tumors. While evidence suggests that ImTH influences tumor progression and therapeutic response, few studies have provided a quantitative characterization of ImTH. Here, we present Scoring Immunological Intratumor Heterogeneity (ScImTH), a novel algorithm that quantifies ImTH by calculating the Shannon entropy of immune cell type proportions within the tumor microenvironment. Using bulk, single-cell, and spatial transcriptomic datasets, we show that reduced ScImTH scores are associated with unfavorable survival outcomes, tumor progression-related molecular and phenotypic features, immunosuppressive states, and resistance to immunotherapy across …

Lift Every Voice: A Qualitative Descriptive Phenomenological Study, Janet Singleton Wooten Dec 2025

Lift Every Voice: A Qualitative Descriptive Phenomenological Study, Janet Singleton Wooten

Doctoral Dissertations and Projects

Many teacher preparation programs include coursework in special education; however, music educators often begin their careers without adequate training to effectively teach students with special needs, particularly those with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Music can serve as a vital avenue for communication and belonging for students with ASD, underscoring the importance of inclusive choral education as a research focus. A review of existing literature revealed a gap in pedagogical preparation and a lack of attention to inclusive practices in secondary choral classrooms. Although specialized training could enhance educators’ understanding of how students with ASD learn and thrive, further research is …
