Breast Cancer Knowledge Among Students At A State Comprehensive University, Calvin Odhiambo, Shimia Hunter

Teacher-Scholar: The Journal of the State Comprehensive University

Background: Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women worldwide and the second-leading cause of death among women in the United States. While lack of knowledge about breast cancer is a key factor in breast cancer mortality, little is known about breast cancer knowledge among women and men under the age of 30. The goal of the current study was to investigate the knowledge and awareness of breast cancer among female and male undergraduate students at a State Comprehensive University in the Southeastern United States.

Methods: This was a cross-sectional survey of 265 male and female undergraduate …

The Status Of Women In Utah Politics: A 2023 Update, April Townsend, Susan R. Madsen

Marketing and Strategy Faculty Publications

Although Utah has a rich heritage of women’s involvement in voting, advocacy, and various types of political participation, for decades Utah has lagged behind most states in terms of women running for and serving in elected political roles. To track progress, the Utah Women & Leadership Project (UWLP) began reporting on the status of women in Utah politics in 2014, with updates in 2017, 2021, 2022, and now 2023. Although strides have been made in increasing the number of women serving in political roles in recent years, there is still work to be done. Research continues to confirm that when …

Medical Leave And Unrealistic Ministry Expectations A Study At Zion Lutheran Church, Aaron G. Flatau

Doctor of Ministry Major Applied Project

A medical leave of absence due to a kidney transplant resulted in feelings of guilt and failure for a pastor when he was unable to fulfill his desired ministry tasks. These feelings of guilt and failure were speculated to be unwarranted.

To determine if these feelings were unwarranted, this paper researched sickness as presented in the Bible. Biblical research found illness to be a personal reminder of a global fall, found a link between forgiveness of sin and healing of sickness, and examined illness in the context of the Kingdom of God. Historical examination found that illness within the context …

Parp1 Associates With R-Loops To Promote Their Resolution And Genome Stability, Natalie Laspata, Parminder Kaur, Sofiane Yacine Mersaoui, Daniela Muoio, Zhiyan Silvia Liu, Maxwell Henry Bannister, Hai Dang Nguyen, Caroline Curry, John M. Pascal, Guy G. Poirier, Hong Wang, Jean-Yves Masson, Elise Fouquerel

Student Papers, Posters & Projects

PARP1 is a DNA-dependent ADP-Ribose transferase with ADP-ribosylation activity that is triggered by DNA breaks and non-B DNA structures to mediate their resolution. PARP1 was also recently identified as a component of the R-loop-associated protein-protein interaction network, suggesting a potential role for PARP1 in resolving this structure. R-loops are three-stranded nucleic acid structures that consist of a RNA-DNA hybrid and a displaced non-template DNA strand. R-loops are involved in crucial physiological processes but can also be a source of genome instability if persistently unresolved. In this study, we demonstrate that PARP1 binds R-loops in vitro and associates with R-loop formation …

Certifiably Employable?: The Effects Of Occupational Regulation On Unemployment Duration, Ilya Kukaev, Edward Timmons

Economics Faculty Working Papers Series

Occupational regulation is a labor market institution that has received a growing amount of attention by researchers. Existing research has explored the effects of occupational regulation on wages and employment. To the best of our knowledge, no existing study has estimated the effect of occupational credentials on unemployment duration in the US. We derive a random search model to explain differences in individual unemployment duration resulting from heterogeneous effects from licenses and certificates. Our model predicts that an occupational credential with a stronger signaling or human capital effect results in a shorter individual unemployment duration. To estimate the effect of …

Importance Of Snowmelt On Soil Nitrate Leaching To Groundwater – A Model Study, Sahila Beegum, Arindam Malakar, Chittaranjan Ray, Daniel D. Snow

Nebraska Water Center: Faculty Publications

The movement of nitrate to surface water bodies during snow accumulation and melting has been extensively studied, but there are only limited studies on the influence of snow processes on nitrate leaching to groundwater. The present study investigated the impact of snow processes on nitrate leaching to groundwater based on a simulation modeling approach using HYDRUS-1D. HYDRUS-1D model has a temperature threshold-based snow model in addition to water, solute, and heat simulation components. The snow component in HYDRUS-1D was previously not applied to snow simulation studies since the method does not consider a detailed physical and process-based representation of snow …

How To: Virtual Events For Large Section Course: Preparing Students For A Post Covid Work World With The Help Of Industry Partners, Melissa Diegnau

Management and Entrepreneurship Department Publications

This session offers you insight on how one had to pivot with nearly 300 students during COVID and come out shining. The goal is to see how technology can be used to offer successful virtual events for large section courses and do so better than the traditional in-person offering because of increased industry participation and preparation for the post-COVID work-world. I will walk you through why the change happened, why we kept it virtual post-COVID, and how you can offer a virtual mock interview to nearly 300 students in 2.5 hours and have both students and industry raving about the …

He decided to become a lawyer and use his analytical and problem-solving skills to protect people and their rights.

Student Nurses' Perception Of Preceptors' Authentic Leadership Effect On Self-Efficacy, Venise D. Bryan

Dissertations

The study examined the relationship between final year nursing students' perceptions of preceptor authentic leadership and self-efficacy. Nursing students are required to engage in a preceptorship experience at the end of their nursing education for socialisation into the profession and learning consolidation to facilitate optimum transition from student to nurse. Unfortunately, preceptorship has been identified as the most stressful experience that nursing students engage in and poor relations with clinical staff and low competence beliefs to nurse have led to attrition after graduation. To date, a limited number of studies have examined preceptors' leadership style, particularly authentic leadership and student …

Characterizing The Consensus Residue Specificity And Surface Of Bcl-2 Binding To Bh3 Ligands Using The Knob-Socket Model, Jennifer Yi, Vivian Kellner, Hyun Joo, Nathaniel Chien, Shivarni Patel, Zaina Chaban, Jerry Tsai

Pacific Faculty Work

Cancer cells bypass cell death by changing the expression of the BCL-2 family of proteins, which are apoptotic pathway regulators. Upregulation of pro-survival BCL-2 proteins or downregulation of cell death effectors BAX and BAK interferes with the initiation of the intrinsic apoptotic pathway. In normal cells, apoptosis can occur through pro-apoptotic BH3-only proteins interacting and inhibiting pro-survival BCL-2 proteins. When cancer cells over-express pro-survival BCL-2 proteins, a potential remedy is the sequestration of these pro-survival proteins through a class of anti-cancer drugs called BH3 mimetics that bind in the hydrophobic groove of pro-survival BCL-2 proteins. To improve the design of …

Personalized Semantic Annotation Recommendations On Biomedical Content Through An Expanded Socio-Technical Approach, Asim Abbas, Steve Mbouadeu, Tahir Hameed, Syed Ahmad Chan Bukhari

Management Faculty Publications

There are huge on-going challenges to timely access of accurate online biomedical content due to exponential growth of unstructured biomedical data. Therefore, semantic annotations are essentially required with the biomedical content in order to improve search engines’ context-aware indexing, search efficiency, and precision of the retrieved results. In this study, we propose a personalized semantic annotation recommendations approach to biomedical content through an expanded socio-technical approach. Our layered architecture generates annotations on the users’ entered text in the first layer. To optimize the yielded annotations, users can seek help from professional experts by posing specific questions to them. The socio-technical …

Knowledge Graph Based Trustworthy Medical Code Recommendations, Mutahira Khalid, Asim Abbas, Hassan Sajjad, Hassan Khattak, Tahir Hameed, Syed Ahmad Chan Bukhari

Management Faculty Publications

Medical coding is about assigning standardized alphanumeric codes to diagnoses, procedures, and interventions recorded in patients’ clinical notes. These codes are essential for correct medical claims and billing processes, which are critical in maintaining efficient revenue cycles. Computer-Assisted-Coding (CAC) employs AI models to automate medical coding hence cutting down human effort and errors. Despite their unrivalled performance, these models lack ‘explainability’. Explainability opens up the inner workings and results of black-box deep learning models. Attention mechanisms are the most common approach for ‘explainability’, but they leave some questions unanswered, for instance, the relationship between highlighted words and predictions. Where black-box …

We The People. Who? The Face Of Future American Politics Is Shaped By Perceived Foreignness Of Candidates Of Color, Patrizia Chirco, Tonya M. Buchanan

All Faculty Scholarship for the College of the Sciences

Pursuing a more equitable political representation of a country's demographics is essential both as a matter of principle and pragmatism (i.e., realpolitik). As such, the goal of the present study was to replicate and expand on research on the impact of voter race/ethnicity and ideology on voting behaviors and interpersonal judgments of political candidates of color from different racial and ethnic groups. After participants (N = 282) saw the same political candidate of color (randomly assigned to identify as Mexican American vs. African American), we assessed interpersonal judgments and behaviors (e.g., expertise, voting intentions), perceived Americanness, and memory for skin …
