Caring And Transformation In Oncology Nursing Administration: Paradigms Of Leadership, Barbara L. Young Summers

Dissertations

Caring has a history of being central to nursing and has long been held to be an essential component of the clinical practice of nurses involved in direct patient care activities. While nurse administrators have been recognized for their transformational leadership capabilities, less attention has been given to caring in the practice of nursing administration leadership or the effects of this leadership as experienced by their subordinates. The parallels found between transformational leadership behaviors and human caring factors provided the foundation for this study. The purpose of this study was to generate an understanding of the structure and experience of …

An Exploration Of Nurses' Knowledge Of Right Hemisphere Stroke Associated Communication Impairments, Susan K. Brooks

Dissertations

In the U. S. approximately 795,000 people experience a new or recurrent stroke yearly. Stroke survival has increased with advances in medical technology. The impact of stroke on a patient's neurological status poses critical challenges for nurses. Communication is one area impacted by stroke. Strokes affecting the brain's right hemisphere (RHS) have been described in the literature as negatively impacting communication behaviors of patients, often in a subtle manner. The purpose of this exploratory descriptive study was to examine the knowledge that RNs in North Carolina possess about communication impairments associated with RHS and how these nurses anticipate using knowledge …

Impact Of Marital Quality And Psychological Well-Being On Parental Sensitivity For First-Time Mothers And Fathers: A Nursing Study, Betty Broom

Dissertations

Parents' sensitivity in reading infants' often-subtle cues is an essential part of parent-infant interactions that contributes to child development. Empirical evidence links marital quality to quality of parent-infant interaction. Little is known, however, about how marital quality affects parental sensitivity for first-time mothers and fathers. This correlational study has three purposes: (a) to test an operational model suggesting that marital quality contributes to parental sensitivity by affecting the psychological well-being of first-time mothers and fathers, (b) to learn if adding parental age and infant gender increases the model's power to predict parental sensitivity, and (c) to learn if the operational …

Robust Mouse Tracking In Complex Environments Using Neural Networks., Brian Q Geuther, Sean P Deats, Kai J Fox, Stephen A Murray, Robert E Braun, Jacqueline K White, Elissa J Chesler, Cathleen Lutz, Vivek Kumar

Faculty Research 2019

The ability to track animals accurately is critical for behavioral experiments. For video-based assays, this is often accomplished by manipulating environmental conditions to increase contrast between the animal and the background in order to achieve proper foreground/background detection (segmentation). Modifying environmental conditions for experimental scalability opposes ethological relevance. The biobehavioral research community needs methods to monitor behaviors over long periods of time, under dynamic environmental conditions, and in animals that are genetically and behaviorally heterogeneous. To address this need, we applied a state-of-the-art neural network-based tracker for single mice. We compare three different neural network architectures across visually diverse mice …

Nutrition And Environmental Pollution Extension Curriculum Improved Diet-Related Behaviors And Environmental Health Literacy, Dawn Brewer, Hannah Bellamy, Anna Hoover, Annie Koempel, Lisa Gaetke

Dietetics and Human Nutrition Faculty Publications

Kentucky experiences some of the nation’s worst health outcomes related to obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, and other age-related chronic diseases linked with oxidative stress and inflammation, which in turn are associated with poor diet, lack of physical activity, and exposure to certain environmental pollutants. In the Commonwealth, deteriorating infrastructure, inappropriate waste disposal, and potential occupational injury related to mining, agriculture, and other regionally important industries exacerbate the need for residents to have basic knowledge of potential environmental health threats. Unfortunately, community-level understanding of the complex connections between environmental exposures and health is limited, with many Kentuckians unaware that the …

Memory Access Efficiency In Distributed Atomic Object Implementations, Theophanis Hadjistasi

Doctoral Dissertations

Distributed data services use redundancy to ensure data availability and survivability. Replication can be used to mask failures, however it introduces the problem of consistency because operations may access different object replicas, possibly containing obsolete values. Atomicity is a venerable notion of consistency, introduced in 1979 by Lamport. Atomicity is the most natural type of consistency because it provides an illusion of equivalence with the serial object type that software designers expect.

We deal with the storage of atomic shared readable and writable data in distributed systems that are subject to perturbations in the underlying distributed platforms composed of computers …

Wind And Wave-Driven Circulation In A Fetch-Limited Coastal Basin: Western Long Island Sound, Youngmi Shin

Doctoral Dissertations

A study of 8 years of observations from a buoy in western Long Island Sound shows that the wave field has an asymmetric response to wind direction. Waves are bigger when the wind blows from the east. Comparison to empirical models shows that the behavior is consistent with fetch limited wave growth when bottom dissipation is included.

Using 3 years of current observations at, and near, the surface, I show that the near surface shear also has an asymmetric response to wind. The shear is greater when the wind blows from the west. I then compare estimates of the near …

Energy Flow Regulation Through Built-Up Structures Toward Wave Guiding And Vibration Damping, Shilong Li

Doctoral Dissertations

The overarching goal of structural dynamic analysis is usually to facilitate regulation of energy flows in terms of vibration and acoustic wave transmission. Such regulation of vibratory energy flows can yield effective designs of vibration suppression, energy harvesting, and vibration/wave based health monitoring, etc. This dissertation research employs the concept of built-up structure, i.e., constructing secondary oscillatory sub-systems and incorporating them into the underlying host structure to realize new ways of energy flow regulation. In particular, we propose to develop three distinct designs of sub-systems to realize unusual wave transmission and to dramatically improve damping performance, i.e., electro-mechanical local scatter …

Epidemiology and Environmental Health Faculty Publications

Tobacco smoking was examined as a risk for dementia and neuropathological burden in 531 initially cognitively normal older adults followed longitudinally at the University of Kentucky’s Alzheimer’s Disease Center. The cohort was followed for an average of 11.5 years; 111 (20.9%) participants were diagnosed with dementia, while 242 (45.6%) died without dementia. At baseline, 49 (9.2%) participants reported current smoking (median pack-years = 47.3) and 231 (43.5%) former smoking (median pack-years = 24.5). The hazard ratio (HR) for dementia for former smokers versus never smokers based on the Cox model was 1.64 (95% CI: 1.09, 2.46), while the HR for …
