Rock Climbing And Conservation In Land Management: Can They Coexist?, Marissa Heller Aug 2022

Rock Climbing And Conservation In Land Management: Can They Coexist?, Marissa Heller

Geography ETDs

As participation in outdoor recreation is growing in the U.S., a dilemma is presented for conservation planners and land area managers who must manage the increasing demand for recreation while simultaneously working to protect species. Rock climbers and other outdoor recreationalists have asserted that a relationship exists between recreation and the conservation of public lands. However, mounting evidence suggests that rock climbing continues to cause a multitude of negative impacts to ecosystems. Here, I investigate the extent to which land management practices allow for rock climbing and conservation to coexist, and how it is that well developed plans protect ecologically …

Journal of Health Ethics

According to the 2021 report from the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, 82.4 million people were forcibly displaced because of violence, wars, or persecution and over 26.4 million are currently living with refugee status. Displacement and resettlement trauma are associated with chronic disease onset and poor cognitive, physical, and mental health outcomes for refugee populations. To mitigate some of the deleterious effects of resettlement trauma, we propose a community-based rehabilitation program (CBRP) framework that is culturally sensitive, trauma-informed and focused on the vulnerabilities of women. The purpose of this novel CBRP framework is to address health inequities among a …

Lgbtq Youth And The Promise Of The Kennedy Quartet, Michael J. Higdon Aug 2022

Lgbtq Youth And The Promise Of The Kennedy Quartet, Michael J. Higdon

Scholarly Works

The Supreme Court has only issued four opinions endorsing the constitutional rights of sexual minorities, each of them authored by Justice Anthony Kennedy. These four cases, which this article refers to collectively as “the Kennedy Quartet,” have done much to advance the equality of LGBTQ adults in the United States. The question remains, however, as to what extent those cases likewise protect LGBTQ children. Far from simply being an academic question, this issue has taken on increased urgency as legislators in a number of states—thwarted by the Kennedy Quartet in their ability to target LGBTQ adults—have turned their attentions to …

Brain, Behavior, & Dysfunction, Jared Nielsen Aug 2022

Brain, Behavior, & Dysfunction, Jared Nielsen

BYU Research Development Office Research Networking Conference

We are interested in answering questions about the organization of the brain and how neurological and psychiatric illnesses disrupt its organization. To answer these questions, we use a variety of analytical techniques to extract quantitative information from MRI scans. We currently have projects that investigate how the brain is affected in patients with autism, dementia, OCD, and mood and anxiety disorders. Our hope is that the information we learn as scientists will inform and improve the way clinicians diagnose and treat their patients.

Department of Plant Pathology: Faculty Publications

Nematodes are the most abundant and diverse animals on the planet but lack representation in biodiversity research. This presents a problem for studying nematode diversity, particularly when molecular tools (i.e., barcoding and metabarcoding) rely on well-populated and curated reference databases, which are absent for nematodes. To improve molecular identification and the assessment of nematode diversity, we created and curated an 18S rRNA database specific to nematodes (18S-NemaBase) using sequences sourced from the most recent publicly available 18S rRNA SILVA v138 database. As part of the curation process, taxonomic strings were standardized to contain a fixed number of taxonomic ranks relevant …

Integrating Physiology Into Correlative Models Can Alter Projections Of Habitat Suitability Under Climate Change For A Threatened Amphibian, Jillian C. Newman, Eric A. Riddell, Lori A. Williams, Michael W. Sears, Kyle Barrett Aug 2022

Integrating Physiology Into Correlative Models Can Alter Projections Of Habitat Suitability Under Climate Change For A Threatened Amphibian, Jillian C. Newman, Eric A. Riddell, Lori A. Williams, Michael W. Sears, Kyle Barrett

Open Access Publishing Fund

Rapid global change has increased interest in developing ways to identify suitable refu-gia for species of conservation concern. Correlative and mechanistic species distribu-tion models (SDMs) represent two approaches to generate spatially-explicit estimates of climate vulnerability. Correlative SDMs generate distributions using statistical associations between environmental variables and species presence data. In contrast, mechanistic SDMs use physiological traits and tolerances to identify areas that meet the conditions required for growth, survival and reproduction. Correlative approaches assume modeled environmental variables influence species distributions directly or indirectly; however, the mechanisms underlying these associations are rarely verified empirically. We compared habitat suitability predictions between a …

Polymer Coated Polymeric (Pcp) Microneedles For Sampling Of Drugs And Biomarkers From Tissues, Deeksha Jakka, A. V. Matadh, H. N. Shivakumar, Howard Maibach Aug 2022

Polymer Coated Polymeric (Pcp) Microneedles For Sampling Of Drugs And Biomarkers From Tissues, Deeksha Jakka, A. V. Matadh, H. N. Shivakumar, Howard Maibach

Faculty and Student Publications

The Polymer Coated Polymeric (PCP) microneedles were fabricated using PVP K30 in the core and ethyl cellulose in the coating. The PCP microneedles do not disintegrate in the tissue upon insertion and rather stays intact and allows diffusion of drugs and analytes across the membrane both inward and outward. In this project the potential use of PCP microneedles for sampling analytes from the dermal tissue was explored. The amount of analyte sampled depended on the concentration in the tissue, physicochemical properties of the analyte and duration of insertion of the array in the tissue. Further, an advanced type of PCP …

Comparative Single Dose Pharmacokinetics And Metabolism Of Racemic Primaquine And Its Enantiomers In Human Volunteers, Washim Khan, Yan Hong Wang, Narayan D. Chaurasiya, Np Dhammika Nanayakkara Aug 2022

Comparative Single Dose Pharmacokinetics And Metabolism Of Racemic Primaquine And Its Enantiomers In Human Volunteers, Washim Khan, Yan Hong Wang, Narayan D. Chaurasiya, Np Dhammika Nanayakkara

Faculty and Student Publications

Primaquine (PQ) is a racemic drug used in treatment of malaria for six decades. Recent studies suggest that the two enantiomers of PQ are differentially metabolized in animals, and this results in different pharmacological and toxicological profiles. The current study characterizes the pharmacokinetic (PK) properties, metabolism and tolerability of the individual enantiomers of PQ in healthy human volunteers with normal glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) activity. Two cohorts (at two dose levels), each with 18 subjects, participated in three study arms in a crossover fashion: a single dose of the (−)-R enantiomer (RPQ), a single dose of the (+)-S enantiomer (SPQ), and …

Gender In The Footnotes, Kelsey J. Utne

Faculty Publications - History & Political Science

This teaching resource asks students to explore the relationship between unconscious bias and citational mechanics through a critical feminist lens.[i] In the mini-lesson, students create, compare, and discuss citations for a text with ambiguous authorship. The exercise is suitable for any undergraduate classroom in which the instructor aims for students to bring more nuanced intentionality to their citational practices. I have designed the lesson to comply with any academic citation style(s) so that it can be easily adapted either to courses focused on writing within a specific discipline, or to courses with an interdisciplinary writing component.

Efficient Perpendicular Magnetization Switching By A Magnetic Spin Hall Effect In A Noncollinear Antiferromagnet, Shuai Hu, Ding-Fu Shao, Huanglin Yang, Chang Pan, Zhenxiao Fu, Meng Tang, Yumeng Yang, Weijia Fan, Shiming Zhou, Evgeny Y. Tsymbal, Xuepeng Qiu Aug 2022

Efficient Perpendicular Magnetization Switching By A Magnetic Spin Hall Effect In A Noncollinear Antiferromagnet, Shuai Hu, Ding-Fu Shao, Huanglin Yang, Chang Pan, Zhenxiao Fu, Meng Tang, Yumeng Yang, Weijia Fan, Shiming Zhou, Evgeny Y. Tsymbal, Xuepeng Qiu

Department of Physics and Astronomy: Faculty Publications

Current induced spin-orbit torques driven by the conventional spin Hall effect are widely used to manipulate the magnetization. This approach, however, is nondeterministic and inefficient for the switching of magnets with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy that are demanded by the high-density magnetic storage and memory devices. Here, we demonstrate that this limitation can be overcome by exploiting a magnetic spin Hall effect in noncollinear antiferromagnets, such as Mn3Sn. The magnetic group symmetry of Mn3Sn allows generation of the out-of-plane spin current carrying spin polarization collinear to its direction induced by an in-plane charge current. This spin current drives an …

A Mixed Method-Approach To Exploring Human Organ Trafficking And Its Policy Implications, Jeslyn Huynh Aug 2022

A Mixed Method-Approach To Exploring Human Organ Trafficking And Its Policy Implications, Jeslyn Huynh

Dissertations (2016-Present)

Human organ trafficking, which involves the exploitation, coercion, illegally purchasing or selling of organs, has become a primary international concern. According to the United Nations, legally available organs for transplants only accommodate roughly 10% of the global industry demand. The shortage in organ supply means a new patient is added to the waiting list every 10 minutes worldwide even as 20 patients die every day in the United States alone waiting for an available organ. Previous researchers have found empirical support for significant relationships between human organ trafficking and its adverse globalized effects. Using primary and secondary data, the main …

The branching fractions of the decays B+→ηâ "+νâ "and B+→η′â "+νâ "are measured, where â "is either an electron or a muon, using a data sample of 711 fb-1 containing 772×106BB¯ pairs collected at the I (4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+e-collider. To reduce the dependence of the result on the form factor model, the measurement is performed over the entire q2 range. The resulting branching fractions are B(B+→ηâ "+νâ ")=(2.83±0.55(stat.)±0.34(syst.))×10-5 and B(B+→η′â "+νâ ")=(2.79±1.29(stat.)±0.30(syst.))×10-5.

Sexual Attitudes And Characteristics Of Onlyfans Users, Stacey Diane Arañez Litam, Megan Speciale, Richard S. Balkin

Faculty and Student Publications

As new forms of sexually explicit material (SEM) platforms emerge, sex research and sexuality-based studies must also evolve. Although the subscription-based platform OnlyFans has become an increasingly popular way for content creators to share and access SEM, the demographic information and sexual attitudes of users across sex have not yet been reported. The present study contributes to the existing body of SEM literature by providing a demographic analysis of OnlyFans users and an assessment of sexual attitudes between users and nonusers across sex. In this study, participants from a US-based sample (n = 718, Mage = 29.46, male [n = …
