A Virtual In Vivo Dissection And Analysis Of Socioaffective Symptoms Related To Cerebellum-Midbrain Reward Circuitry In Humans, Linda J. Hoffman, Jula M. Foley, Josiah K. Leong, Holly Sullivan-Toole, Blake L. Elliot, Ingrid R. Olson

Psychological Science Faculty Publications and Presentations

Emerging research in nonhuman animals implicates cerebellar projections to the ventral tegmental area (VTA) in appetitive behaviors, but these circuits have not been characterized in humans. Here, we mapped cerebello-VTA white matter connectivity in a cohort of men and women using probabilistic tractography on diffusion imaging data from the Human Connectome Project. We uncovered the topographical organization of these connections by separately tracking from parcels of cerebellar lobule VI, crus I/II, vermis, paravermis, and cerebrocerebellum. Results revealed that connections between the cerebellum and VTA predominantly originate in the right cerebellar hemisphere, interposed nucleus, and paravermal cortex and terminate mostly ipsilaterally. …

Student Development Of Social Capabilities And Life Skills: A Mixed-Methods Study From Pakistan, Aisha Naz Ansari

Institute for Educational Development, Karachi

Holistic development of school-going students has gained momentum. Developing countries need to equip students with skills to thrive in the contemporary world, yet research on this topic in Pakistan is limited. This study, therefore, examines students’ non-cognitive skills (i.e., social capabilities and life skills) using a sequential mixed-methods approach. The sample was selected through multi-stage cluster sampling technique. The quantitative sample comprised students (n=263) from eight schools. The qualitative sample of students (n=16), teachers (n=8), and school leaders (n=4) was purposively selected. The results revealed that students are socially capable and possess basic life skills. However, schools do not explicitly …

Cultural Belonging Impact On Retention Intention Of Non-American International Undergraduate Students In Attendance At U.S.-Based Postsecondary Institutions, April Ray, April Ray

Dissertations, Theses, and Projects

There is a limited understanding regarding how non-American international undergraduate students who have lived outside the U.S. for a majority of their lives construct their educational identities within U.S.-based postsecondary institutions in comparison to international students who have lived in American culture for more than two years. The multifaceted cultural nature of their educational identity within the confines of an Americanized educational learning environment demands further exploration into the hybridity of these student populations. This study proposes to identify which aspects of the learning experience help or hinder the sense of cultural belonging for non-American international students in attendance of …

Development Of Prediction Models Of Covid-19 Vaccine Uptake Among Lebanese And Syrians In A District Of Beirut, Lebanon: A Population-Based Study, Marie-Elizabeth Ragi, Hala Ghattas Ph.D., Hazar Shamas, Jocelyn Dejong, Nada M. Melhem, Stephen J. Mccall, The Caep Study Group

Faculty Publications

Introduction Vaccines are essential to prevent infection and reduce the morbidity of infectious diseases. Previous evidence has shown that migrants and refugees are particularly vulnerable to exclusion and discrimination, and low COVID-19 vaccine intention and uptake were observed among refugees globally. This study aimed to develop and internally validate prediction models of COVID-19 vaccine uptake by nationality.

Methods This is a nested prognostic population-based cross-sectional analysis. Data were collected between June and October 2022 in Sin-El-Fil, a district of Beirut, Lebanon. The study population included a random sample of Lebanese adults and all Syrian adults residing in areas of low …

Theses and Dissertations

"The Forgotten Classrooms: Uncovering the Educational Experiences of Japanese American Students During World War II" explores the impact of forced evacuation and internment on the academic and social development of Japanese American students. This study delves into the unique challenges faced by Japanese American students during a time of widespread discrimination and wartime hysteria, highlighting the disruption of education, psychological trauma, and identity struggles experienced by this population. Through a comprehensive examination of historical monographs, sociological research, and personal narratives, this research sheds light on the long-term effects of the internment experience on educational attainment, career paths, and intergenerational mobility. …

Emergency Physicians Perspectives Of State Continuing Medical Education Requirements For Medical Licensure, Marianne Gausche-Hill, Yachana Bhakta, Michael C. Bond, Sandra M. Schneider, Jeffrey Druck, Colleen E. Livingston, Lisa Moreno-Walton, Jonathan S. Jones, Melissa A. Barton

School of Medicine Faculty Publications

Objectives: This study aims to better understand the perspectives of emergency medicine physicians’ on the role that state-mandated, topic-specific continuing medical education (CME) plays in addressing knowledge gaps, its relevance to current emergency practice, its reported burden and costs of CME activities to emergency physicians, and its perceived improvement in patient care. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was designed by the Coalition of Board-Certified Emergency Physicians (COBCEP) and distributed in February 2023 to all American Board of Emergency Medicine (ABEM)-certified physicians. Statistical tests of significance (Pearson's chi-square and Fisher's exact test) assessed the cost and time spent on CME as well …

Ethical Frameworks And Global Health: A Narrative Review Of The “Leave No One Behind” Principle, Daniela Oehring, Poorna Gunasekera

School of Health Professions

The “Leave No One Behind” (LNOB) principle, a fundamental commitment of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, emphasizes the urgent need to address and reduce global health inequalities. As global health initiatives strive to uphold this principle, they face significant ethical challenges in balancing equity, resource allocation, and diverse health priorities. This narrative review critically examines these ethical dilemmas and their implications for translating LNOB into actionable global health strategies. A comprehensive literature search was conducted using PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Semantic Scholar, covering publications from January 1990 to April 2024. The review included peer-reviewed articles, gray literature, …

Experimental Investigation Of Vertical Axis Wind Turbine Performance Using Bio-Inspired Blades, Ahmed Elbaz

Mechanical Engineering

Vertical Axis Wind Turbines (VAWT) are becoming a key player in small wind power applications. Recent research on turbine performance focused on methods to augment turbine performance to secure a more efficient and reliable wind energy conversion system to electrical power. Most of these research works rely on Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations given the excessive cost of wind tunnel testing. Many research papers investigated innovative blade shapes in order to improve turbine performance. In the present paper, a new bioinspired, blade shape is proposed to enhance the power output of VAWT. This shape is based on modifying NACA 0018 …
