Uniqueness Of Parent Advocates: The Power Of Lived Experience, Marina Lalayants, Jovonna Frieson

Journal of Family Strengths

Abstract

This study highlighted the unique elements of the role played by parent advocates (PAs) with lived child welfare experience in supporting families affected by the child welfare system. These elements set PAs apart from other professionals and included non-professionalized peer support, experiential expertise, a strong sense of identification, authenticity, legitimized empathy and understanding, and critical consciousness. As parent peer support programs gain popularity in child welfare services, it is imperative to understand and define these distinctive elements that underpin the PA role, as they serve as the foundation for novel approaches to working with, supporting, and empathizing with parents …

Combinatorial Studies Of Noble Metal Catalysts For Carbon Utilization, Natalie Leong Page

Theses and Dissertations

Electrocatalysts demonstrate significant promise for sustainable processes like carbon capture and generating recycled carbon fuels which are needed to achieve net zero carbon emissions. However, the commercialization of these processes is limited by several factors, one of which is the high cost of catalysts. The discovery and development of cheaper alternatives has been difficult due to constraints in experimental methodologies, scalability limitations, and a lack of understanding of reaction mechanisms. Within this dissertation is the development of a novel scanning electrochemical system and its implementation for high-throughput data generation from combinatorially sputtered material libraries. Combinatorial Pd-Au alloys were investigated for …

Machine Learning Models For Enhanced Stock Trading Strategies, Alyaa Al Ali

Theses

The purpose of this research is to develop sophisticated machine-learning models that can predict stock price movements, taking into account the multifaceted influences that create volatility in financial markets. To navigate the complexities of market dynamics effectively, investors, financial institutions, and academia rely on precision stock price predictions. This research generates actionable buy and sell signals by using historical stock data, technical market indicators, Linear Support Vector Machines (LSVM), Neural Networks, and Logistic Regression. A distinctive feature of this model is it uses market indicators such as PPO, MACD, RSI Signal, Bollinger Bands, ROC Signal, and DX Signal instead of …

Oregon In Motion: Shaping Communities Through State Transportation Legislation, Cassie Wilson

PSU Transportation Seminars

About every eight years, the Oregon state legislature passes a large state transportation funding package. Transportation funding packages in Oregon have historically included funding mechanisms such as the gas tax, program areas such as Safe Routes to School, projects such as freeway widenings, and transparency and accountability measures such as establishing new reporting requirements and advisory committees. The way this legislation is developed and who has a seat at the table highly influences package contents and the public and political support needed for its passage. In this presentation, I will provide highlights from my recently published report, Oregon in Motion …

Evaluating The Implementation Of Biplane Ultrasound Probes For Guided Peripheral Intravenous Access In The Emergency Department, Ian Troupe

Doctor of Nursing Practice Final Manuscripts

Background: Single plane ultrasound (US) probes are currently standardized for initiating US guided peripheral intravenous (USGPIV) access for difficult intravenous access (DIVA) patients in the emergency department (ED). Emerging literature reveals the increased efficacy of biplane US probes for USGPIV access with an improved success rate of up to 36.6%.

Purpose of Project: Implement best practice recommendations by integrating one biplane US probe for USGPIV access at a Level 1 Trauma Center ED in Southern California after training ten registered nurses (RN) on its use. The project aimed to improve patient outcomes, department flow, RN education, and utilization …

A Computational Investigation Of Wood Selection For Acoustic Guitar, Jonah Osterhus

Senior Honors Theses

The acoustic guitar is a stringed instrument, often made of wood, that transduces vibrational energy of steel strings into coupled vibrations of the wood and acoustic pressure waves in the air. Variations in wood selection and instrument geometry have been shown to affect the timbre of the acoustic guitar. Computational methods were utilized to investigate the impact of material properties on acoustic performance. Sitka spruce was deemed the most suitable wood for guitar soundboards due to its acoustic characteristics, strength, and uniform aesthetic. Mahogany was deemed to be the best wood for the back and sides of the guitar body …

Economic Vitality Index 2022: Disparate Recovery Across Ohio, Molly Schnoke, Georgina Guadalupe Figueroa, Jack Yochum

All Maxine Goodman Levin School of Urban Affairs Publications

The Center for Economic Development tracks the economic health of Ohio's 88 counties using the Economic Vitality Index (EVI). After establishing a baseline with 2019 data and analyzing pandemic impacts through 2021, the 2022 EVI shows resilience amid inflation and high interest rates. Urban counties like Cuyahoga, Franklin, and Montgomery display positive recovery trends, whereas Appalachian counties in Southern Ohio continue to face economic challenges.

Biden, Trump Locked In Close Contest In Nh; Gabbard & Ramaswamy Favored For Trump's Vp 5/23/2024, Unh Survey Center

All UNH Survey Center Polls

With the 2024 general election less than six months away, President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump are statistically tied in New Hampshire. More than one-third of undecided voters would be less likely to vote for Trump if he is convicted in his current court case. Former Democratic Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy are mentioned most often as running mates for Trump. Granite Staters generally find it acceptable for those protesting the Gaza conflict to hold strikes or walkouts to protest but find it unacceptable to put up tents, occupy buildings, or state that Israel has no …

Despite tremendous efforts in the past decades, relationships among main avian lineages remain heavily debated without a clear resolution. Discrepancies have been attributed to diversity of species sampled, phylogenetic method and the choice of genomic regions^1–3. Here we address these issues by analysing the genomes of 363 bird species⁴ (218 taxonomic families, 92% of total). Using intergenic regions and coalescent methods, we present a well-supported tree but also a marked degree of discordance. The tree confirms that Neoaves experienced rapid radiation at or near the Cretaceous–Palaeogene boundary. Sufficient loci rather than extensive taxon sampling were more effective …

Farmers’ Hiring Decisions Towards Farm Mechanization Services In The Cauvery Delta Zone Of Tamil Nadu, Krishnadas R

Theses and Dissertations

Agriculture is critical to any country's economic development. It not only benefits the primary and secondary sectors but also helps the economy flourish. In addition to ensuring food security, the Indian agricultural sector provides work to huge populations, both directly and indirectly. Traditional farming practices are now overused, labour is no longer abundant, and the power demand is rising steadily. The rapid development of technology has given rise to new opportunities in agriculture (Balafoutis, Evert, & Fountas, 2020). Technology aids agricultural growth by allowing more effective utilization of inputs. It has the potential to make an immense contribution to agricultural …

Feeling Otherwise: A Hermeneutic Phenomenological Study Of Queer And Trans Youth Of Color Who Create And Embody Fursonas, Hazel Ali Zaman

Dissertations and Theses

Queer and trans youth of color are often the target of surveillance, bullying, discrimination, and abuse. However, in an attempt to navigate such violent and discriminatory circumstances, the queer and trans youth of color in this dissertation found refuge in furry art and performances, both online and offline, where they were able to express themselves freely and thus acquire a sense of belonging among others with similar experiences. In this dissertation, "a furry" is used to refer to an individual who self-identifies as one who has an affinity for anthropomorphic animal characters. A common practice among furries is creating a …
