Climate Challenge For Sigma Chapters, Kathy Burlingame, Michelle Dephillips, Michelle Gilbert, Kelly Kuhns, Daria Waszak

Global Advocacy

There are a plethora of health effects connected to climate change's impacts on weather, food, water, air, heat, vectors, allergens, and more. As a trusted voice, nurses are in an opportune position to advocate for climate action and its related impacts on health. Whilst, the topic of climate change should be integrated more consistently through curricula for nurses. With that in mind, The Nurses Climate Challenge, a campaign of the ANHE and Healthcare Without Harm, was launched in 2018. Its initial aim of engaging 50,000 nurses was met, and the initiative is being transferred to ANHE this month.

Who Helps Tsimane Children And Adults?, Eric Schniter, Daniel K. Cummings, Paul L. Hooper, Jonathan Stieglitz, Benjamin C. Trumble, Hillard S. Kaplan, Michael D. Gurven

ESI Working Papers

We examine various forms of helping behavior among Tsimane Amerindians of Bolivia, focusing on the provision of shelter, childcare, food, sickcare, cultural influence, and traditional story knowledge. Kin selection theory traditionally explains nepotistic nurturing of youth by closely related kin. However, less attention has been given to understanding the help provided by individuals without close genetic relatedness. To explain who provides various forms of help, we evaluate support for several predictions derived from kin selection theory. Our results show that helpers who are most often closely related and from an older generation tend to provide more costly forms of help …

Porphyrin Overdrive In Cancer: Unraveling The Mechanisms And Therapeutic Potential, Pravin D. Meshram Jun 2024

Porphyrin Overdrive In Cancer: Unraveling The Mechanisms And Therapeutic Potential, Pravin D. Meshram

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

The increased understanding of cancer cell metabolism has shown options for novel treatment strategies. This thesis looks at the role of heme metabolism, specifically "porphyrin overdrive," in cancer progression and treatment. Cancer cells are hypermetabolic and rely on heme synthesis. When treated with δ-aminolevulinic acid (ALA), they abnormally accumulate heme intermediates. This metabolic weakness presents an opportunity to exploit heme synthesis in targeted cancer therapy. In this study, we suggest a "Bait and Kill" technique that uses exogenous ALA to induce protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) buildup in cancer cells, making them more susceptible to oxidative stress. We investigate the possibility of …

Examining Tradeoffs Of Exposure Control And Collateral Information With Multidimensional Forced Choice Computerized Adaptive Testing, Naidan Tu Jun 2024

Examining Tradeoffs Of Exposure Control And Collateral Information With Multidimensional Forced Choice Computerized Adaptive Testing, Naidan Tu

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Multidimensional forced choice (MFC) testing has been proposed as an alternative to single statement (SS) Likert-type measures to reduce response biases in noncognitive measurement. Research progress has been made on MFC computerized adaptive testing (CAT) to improve testing efficiency. CAT enhances efficiency by successively selecting items that are most informative at each respondent’s estimated trait score. In MFC CAT, this causes some forced choice items and the statements composing them to be frequently exposed while others are rarely used, which adversely affects test security and costs. This research develops an exposure control method for MFC CAT based on the Multi-Unidimensional …

The Aesthetics Of Animal Companions, Samantha Vice Jun 2024

The Aesthetics Of Animal Companions, Samantha Vice

Contemporary Aesthetics (Journal Archive)

In the philosophical aesthetics literature, domestic animals, and in particular companion animals or pets, are notable for their absence. I examine the few available accounts of the aesthetics of animals, extend them to animal companions, and argue that they are lacking in important respects. An appropriate aesthetics of these animals should recognize their unique status as individual animals in human spaces, imbued with human meanings, and yet essentially other.

Thermal Stability Of Amorphous Metal Oxides: The Interplay Of Secondary Cations, Degree Of Substitution, And Local Structure, Li Zeng, D. Bruce Buchholz, Denis T. Keane, Tobin J. Marks, Julia E. Medvedeva, Michael J. Bedzyk

Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works

Indium-based amorphous metal oxides (AMOs) are important materials that enable a wide range of electronic and optoelectronic applications. The metal cations that substitute for In are known to effectively tune the material properties as well as to retain the desirable amorphous state when subjected to high operating temperatures. While much attention focuses on property tuning, there is less focus on those fundamental factors that enhance thermal stability. Hence, in this paper, we employ in situ X-ray scattering and ab initio molecular dynamics (MD) to systematically study the effects of secondary cations on the crystallization process. A series of amorphous (In …

Reinventing Operational Risk Regulation For A World Of Climate Change, Cyberattacks, And Tech Glitches, Hilary J. Allen Jun 2024

Reinventing Operational Risk Regulation For A World Of Climate Change, Cyberattacks, And Tech Glitches, Hilary J. Allen

Scholarly Articles in Law Reviews & Journals

Around 30 years ago, banking regulators began to construct the concept of “operational risk,” and devise rules to manage this newly created risk category. This “invention” of operational risk assembled a grab-bag of otherwise uncategorized risks associated with banking operations; this Article argues that the resulting operational risk regulation framework isn’t very well suited to some of those risks. In particular, this Article demonstrates that the existing operational risk regulation framework is becoming an increasingly inadequate response to banks’ exposure to operational losses following damage to their physical assets and business disruption and system failures. This is so for two …

Preperiodic Points Of Polynomial Dynamical Systems Over Finite Fields, Aaron Andersen, Derek Garton Jun 2024

Preperiodic Points Of Polynomial Dynamical Systems Over Finite Fields, Aaron Andersen, Derek Garton

Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications and Presentations

For a prime p, positive integers r,n, and a polynomial f with coefficients in Fpr, let Wp,r,n(f) = fn(Fpr) ∖ fn+1(Fpr). As n varies, the Wp,r,n(f) partition the set of strictly preperiodic points of the dynamical system induced by the action of f on Fpr. In this paper we compute statistics of strictly preperiodic points of dynamical systems induced by unicritical polynomials over finite fields by obtaining effective upper bounds for the proportion of Fpr lying in a given Wp,r,n(f). Moreover, when we generalize our definition of Wp,r,n(f), we obtain both upper and lower bounds for the resulting averages.

Hydrogen bonding (H-bond) interactions are essential in dictating structures and properties of chemical and biological systems and are pivotal mediators in charge transport reactions and chemical recognition. Accurate description of H-bonds requires thorough characterization of the shared proton’s potential energy surface (PES) and molecular dynamics. Ultrafast nonlinear spectroscopic techniques, in particular, transient absorption (TA) and two dimensional infrared (2D IR) spectroscopy, have proven themselves valuable tools for probing molecular structures and dynamics mediated by H-bonding interactions. Herein, I describe the implementation of TA and 2D IR experiments to investigate the vibrational dynamics of the intramolecular H-bond in a series of …
