Integrating The Telequit Smoking Cessation Program In The Admission Process And Analyzing Its Effect On The Rate Of Utilization By Homeless Veterans Within A Federal Healthcare Facility, Fred Villarosa

Doctoral Projects

The use of telehealth for smoking cessation has not been consistently applied and evaluated within the hospital admission process despite the supporting evidence. Likewise, telehealth interventions have not been evaluated in the context of the Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance (RE-AIM) framework. This quasi-experimental quality improvement study of two groups seeks to fill this gap by investigating the effectiveness of integrating a Telequit smoking cessation protocol for homeless veterans into the hospital admission process. The findings are expected to support incorporating Telequit e-consults into the patient admission template within the federal healthcare inpatient residential program. Currently, the Telequit consult …

Dies Legibiles

We are proud to present to the public the second edition of Dies Legibiles, Smith’s very own undergraduate journal of Medieval Studies! After the initial success we had in receiving submissions for last year’s edition, we were naturally worried that the journal might experience a lull–but this was, wonderfully, far from the case! Our submissions this year were numerous, and explore a number of extraordinarily unique and important topics.

Role Of E168d In M. Tuberculosis Igps Catalysis, Hedda Booter

Theses, Dissertations and Culminating Projects

Mycobacterium tuberculosis is a bacterium that affects the lungs and causes tuberculosis, infecting over 10 million people worldwide each year. Owing to the organism’s evolving drug resistance, existing antibiotics no longer combat the disease. The need to discover new drug targets has never been greater. Previous findings suggest that the protein IGPS (indole-3-glycerol phosphate synthase) in M. tuberculosis (MtIGPS) may be a target in the treatment of the disease. MtIGPS catalyzes the fourth step in the tryptophan biosynthetic process. The ability to create their own tryptophan is a major advantage that many bacteria have. The role of E168, in the …

Hardwood Regeneration And Growth Following Multiple Silvicultural Treatments In A Central Hardwood Forest, Emily Inglis

Theses

The Central Hardwood Region (CHR) is experiencing a lack of desirable hardwood regeneration on productive sites across the landscape. To better understand what facilitates desirable hardwood regeneration, additional studies that test the interaction of multiple disturbances are needed. For this reason, a demonstration area on the north end of Trail of Tears State Forest (Union County, Illinois) was established to compare hardwood regeneration response following four treatments: (1) burn only, (2) thin/burn, (3) harvest/thin/burn, and (4) control. Treatments were implemented beginning in 2014 to determine what combination of silvicultural practices best promotes desirable hardwood regeneration among large saplings (>3.3’ …

Self-Train Semi-Supervised Contour Detection For Automated Monitoring Of Surface Water Across The Globe, Mohammad B. Syed

LSU New Orleans Theses and Dissertations

Surface water is a critical resource that requires constant monitoring due to drastic impacts of human use, climate change, and severe weather phenomena. Existing monitoring techniques are limited and vary in their efficacy. It is proposed, here, that contour detection in the visible range is better for monitoring dynamic and long-term changes to surface water bodies. For that purpose, a semi-automated method for collecting and labeling water contours from Landsat-8 and Sentinel-2 images is presented. Due to the need for human inspection, the method has thus far generated 14K labeled images from more than 200,000 images. Given the cost of …

Girls On The Map: Mapping For Program Planning And Social Change, Eva Roca

Adolescents and Young People

This guide explores ways in which maps can add depth to the learning process as practitioners design programs for girls. Mapping leads practitioners through a cycle of information collection and analysis. It supports decision-making about where, with whom, and when to work, and how programs can make a real difference in girls’ lives. Programs increasingly recognize the importance of household and community characteristics in shaping girls’ lives, yet it is relatively less common to measure or map community features as part of program planning. Mapping relevant populations of girls and the features of the communities they live in can inform …

The Growth Of Polarization Domains In Ultrathin Ferroelectric Films Seeded By The Tip Of An Atomic Force Microscope, Mohammad Zamani-Alavijeh, Timothy A. Morgan, Adrian V. Kuchuk, Gregory J. Salamo

Physics Faculty Publications and Presentations

Piezoresponse force microscopy is used to study the velocity of the polarization domain wall in ultrathin ferroelectric barium titanate (BTO) films grown on strontium titanate (STO) substrates by molecular beam epitaxy. The electric field due to the cone of the atomic force microscope tip is demonstrated as the dominant electric field for domain expansion in thin films at lateral distances greater than about one tip diameter away from the tip. The velocity of the domain wall under the applied electric field by the tip in BTO for thin films (less than 40 nm) followed an expanding process given by Merz's …

Exercise Counteracts The Deleterious Effects Of Cancer Cachexia, Stavroula Tsitkanou, Kevin A. Murach, Tyrone Washington, Nicholas P. Greene

Health, Human Performance and Recreation Faculty Publications and Presentations

Cancer cachexia (CC) is a multifactorial syndrome characterised by unintentional loss of body weight and muscle mass in patients with cancer. The major hallmarks associated with CC development and progression include imbalanced protein turnover, inflammatory signalling, mitochondrial dysfunction and satellite cell dysregulation. So far, there is no effective treatment to counteract muscle wasting in patients with CC. Exercise training has been proposed as a potential therapeutic approach for CC. This review provides an overview of the effects of exercise training in CC-related mechanisms as well as how factors such as cancer comorbidities, exercise modality and biological sex can influence exercise …

The Relationship Between Trait Emotional Intelligence And Problematic Alcohol Use Among College Students, Robert E. Davis, Nicole A. Doyle, Krishen D. Samuel, Amanda H. Wilkerson, Vinayak K. Nahar

Health, Human Performance and Recreation Faculty Publications and Presentations

Background: Problematic alcohol use among college students is a significant public health concern. Emotional intelligence (EI), or the ability to detect one’s own and others’ emotions and to use this information to direct behavior, is suggested to mitigate problematic alcohol use. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between EI and problematic alcohol use among college students while controlling for drug use covariates.

Methods: This cross-sectional study utilized an online survey comprised of previously validated measures to determine EI, problematic alcohol use, and drug use among college students from a large, public university in the south-central United …

Role Of Trap States On Electronic And Optoelectronic Properties Of Two-Dimensional (2d) Selenide-Based Materials, Prasanna Dnyaneshwar Patil

Dissertations

Atomically thin 2D materials have gained the interest of the scientific community in the past decade due to their exotic electronic and optoelectronic properties, thus emerging as potential candidates for the next generation of nano-devices. Quantum confinement in one of the dimensions is the primary reason for these exotic properties. However, it has been seen that these properties are widely inconsistent, and they are controlled by variety of factors such as material synthesis, device fabrication, testing environment, etc. Due to low dimensional nature of these materials, defects are inevitable. These defects typically originate from either the presence of bulk impurities …
