Indigenous Women’S Reproductive Traditions: Reclaiming Sovereignty Through 500 Years Of Colonization, Stephanie A. Sellers Sep 2025

Indigenous Women’S Reproductive Traditions: Reclaiming Sovereignty Through 500 Years Of Colonization, Stephanie A. Sellers

Gettysburg College Faculty Books

In Indigenous Women’s Reproductive Traditions, Stephanie Sellers delves into the rich history of Indigenous women’s reproductive practices before European colonization. The book highlights traditional methods such as birth control, abortion, and child spacing, which were integral to maintaining agency over their bodies. Sellers explores how these practices were disrupted by European patriarchal structures and examines the impact of forced sterilization in the 20th century. Today, Indigenous women are reclaiming their rights through movements for reproductive justice, advocating for a return to their ancestral practices and redefining concepts of womanhood and motherhood on their own tribal terms.

A Mobility Data-Driven Approach To Analyzing And Modeling Park Accessibility Inequities And Use In U.S. Cities, Michaelmary Chukwu Sep 2025

A Mobility Data-Driven Approach To Analyzing And Modeling Park Accessibility Inequities And Use In U.S. Cities, Michaelmary Chukwu

Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Urban Park accessibility inequities have been a longstanding issue globally and the United States in particular. Despite the benefits that urban parks provide, use and access is not equitably distributed among the population, often favoring historically privileged populations over others (disadvantaged). Fortunately, improvements have been made in recent years to promote balanced park distribution in some cities; however, evidence still shows that most cities are behind. Interestingly, the rise in human mobility data has facilitated the study of human behavior and use of activity spaces. This thesis advances the existing studies on park accessibility and emerging human mobility to study …


An Integrated Skeletal Muscle Methylome-Transcriptome Profile In Pre-Clinical Colorectal Cancer Cachexia Models And Chemotherapy Aggravating The Effects Of Cachexia, Ana Regina Cabrera Ayuso Sep 2025

An Integrated Skeletal Muscle Methylome-Transcriptome Profile In Pre-Clinical Colorectal Cancer Cachexia Models And Chemotherapy Aggravating The Effects Of Cachexia, Ana Regina Cabrera Ayuso

Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Cancer cachexia is a wasting syndrome characterized by the loss of skeletal muscle affecting cancer patients’ independence and quality of life. Cancer cachexia affects up to 80% of cancer patients and is responsible for 30-40% of cancer-related deaths. Previous studies have demonstrated sex-specific differences in the onset and progression of cancer cachexia; however, these differences remain underexplored. To date, pharmacological and nutritional interventions are largely ineffective in preventing or reversing cachexia. Chemotherapy, a first-line cancer treatment, is known to trigger cachexia by itself complicating prognosis and therapy response. In addition, epigenetic alterations, such as DNA methylation (DNAm), are known to …

Exploring The Relationship Between Grit, Burnout, And Academic Success Among First-Year Osteopathic Medical Students During Fundamentals Of Anatomic Science I Course, Heather Guzik

Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Burnout is a significant issue among healthcare professionals. Burnout refers to the mental, emotional, and physical exhaustion that can develop throughout one’s career or studies. It can affect professionalism and patient care (National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine: National Academy of Medicine, 2019). Studies have shown that burnout begins early in an individual's medical education and can increase throughout their training (Voltmer et al., 2021). It has been suggested that students with a high level of Grit may exhibit some resistance to burnout (Jumat et al., 2020; Lee et al., 2022). This noncognitive trait measures a person’s ability to …


A Security Worth Having: The Pursuit Of Happiness Through Reading Burney, Radcliffe, And Austen, Samantha Meeks Sep 2025

A Security Worth Having: The Pursuit Of Happiness Through Reading Burney, Radcliffe, And Austen, Samantha Meeks

Graduate Theses and Dissertations

This dissertation explores the works of three female authors of female protagonists in the long 18th century: Frances Burney’s Camilla and Evelina; Anne Radcliffe’s The Mysteries of Udolpho and The Italian; and Jane Austen’s Northanger Abbey, Sense and Sensibility, and Pride and Prejudice. By following the paths to security the female protagonists of these novels fashion, and identifying the elements of Stoicism and related Hellenism and the aspects of cybernetics, this dissertation delves into the choices female protagonists make along the way regarding their security and how such choices lead to agency and self-fashioning for these women. Emotional, economic, and …

Effects Of Fire On Salt Marsh Birds And Mammals In Florida’S Panhandle, W. Andrew Cox, Lisa M. Smith, Amy Schwarzer, Michelle Martin, Robert T. Mulligan, Andrea Sylvia

Florida Field Naturalist

The degradation and loss of many salt marshes have adversely affected the vertebrates that reside within them. Fire has historically been a natural component of Florida’s salt marsh ecosystems, but its implementation and its value as a management tool remain poorly understood. We conducted point counts, monitored nests, and surveyed mammal occupancy in the Apalachicola River Wildlife and Environmental Area and the St. Mark’s National Wildlife Refuge in Florida’s panhandle to better understand the effects of fire on nesting birds and mammals that reside in salt marshes. Our study’s focal species were Marian’s Marsh Wren (Cistothorus palustris marianae), the Wakulla …
