Creating Sustainable School And Home Gardens: Gardening Indoors, Rita Hagevik, Kathy Cabe Trundle

All Current Publications

Extending your growing season is a great way to produce more food earlier in spring, later in fall, or even during winter. One of the best ways to do this is to use indoor gardening and greenhouse systems, which let you grow plants beyond what is possible outdoors or alongside outdoor growing. This guide focuses on soil-based indoor gardening.

On Existence, Non-Existence, And The Fallacies Of Anti-Natalism, Ahmed Shoman

School of Medicine Publications

This paper provides a metaphysical, logical, and axiological critique of contemporary anti-natalism, focusing on David Benatar’s asymmetry argument and the rhetoric of “forced existence.“. It argues, first, that Benatar’s asymmetry rests on a fundamental category mistake: the illicit reification of non-existence as a value-bearing state. Non-existence, construed as pure privation, cannot instantiate value predicates, participate in the Good, or serve as a welfare-subject, whether on an Aristotelian, moderate realist, or even Platonic account of value-properties. Second, the paper shows that the asymmetry equivocates between person-affecting and impersonal evaluative standards, licensing impersonal value to secure the positivity of pain-absence while invoking …

Exploring The Appetite For Early Morning Online Classes: A Conceptual Framework For Future Research, Niall A. Minto, Christina Ryan

Irish Journal of Academic Practice

This conceptual paper explores the potential for early morning online classes in part-time adult education. Drawing on literature relating to adult learners, class scheduling, chronotype and cognitive performance, it examines whether the timing of online classes warrants greater consideration in the context of changing patterns of work and learning. The Covid-19 pandemic accelerated the adoption of online and hybrid working and learning, while advances in digital technologies have expanded opportunities, allowing for greater flexibility in when and where learning takes place. This is particularly relevant to part-time adult learners, who often balance education with employment, family and other responsibilities. The …

Marine Spatial Planning In The Asean Countries: Lesson Learned For Future Ocean Governance In Malaysia, Husni Alhan Md Salimun, Mohd Fadzil Akhir, Nazli Aziz, Che Din Mohd Safuan, Wan Izatul Asma Wan Talaat

Journal of Environmental Science and Sustainable Development

Marine Spatial Planning (MSP) has emerged as an important governance instrument for balancing ecological protection, economic development, and social inclusion amid the rapidly intensifying blue economy in Southeast Asia. Although several ASEAN Member States (AMS) have initiated MSP processes, the existing literature on MSP governance in this region  remains fragmented and largely descriptive, limiting systematic cross-country comparison and evidence-based lessons. This study addresses this gap by assessing MSP governance performance across ASEAN countries and againts internationally recognized MSP governance benchmarks. A structured narrative review was conducted using selected PRISMA-informed procedures for literature identification and screening. Academic publications from 2003 to …

Autoimmune Cd4+T Cells Cause Meibomian Gland Dysfunction In An Adoptive Transfer Model, Kaitlin K Scholand, Paola A Guevara Montoya, Emre Aksan, Yangluowa Qu, Sean Paiboonfungfuang, Laura Schaefer, Elizaveta A Demianova, Elaine Vo, Sudhir Verma, Elle Joy J San Juan, Zhiyuan Yu, Tarsis F Gesteira, Vivien J Coulson-Thomas, Cintia S De Paiva

Faculty, Staff and Students Publications

Sjögren disease (SjD) is an autoimmune disease driven by autoimmune CD4+T cells that leads to an immune-mediated loss of lacrimal glands (LG). Meibomian glands are lipid-producing glands in the eyelids that help prevent tear evaporation. While the role of T cells in LG-mediated destruction is well established, it is unknown whether pathogenic T cells can cause MG dysfunction (MGD). Herein, we investigated whether autoimmune CD4+T cells induce MGD and characterized the pathophysiologic mechanisms using an adoptive transfer model. T cells were isolated from CD25KO (KOCD4) or wild-type (WTCD4) mice and transferred into Rag1KO mice. In comparison, KO cells were co-adoptively …

Mapping Long-Read Sequences To A Complete Reference Genome Reveals Uncaptured Variants Across The Β-Globin Cluster In Africans With Sickle Cell Disease, Pamela Lurie, Medhat Mahmoud, Aparna Haldipur, Yixing Han, Qing Li, Edmond Wonkam Tingang, Natalie Asmus, Emilyn Banfield, Nancy J Hall, Bamidele Tayo, Richard Cooper, Titilola Akingbola, George Ayodo, Stephen Obaro, Guillaume Lettre, Qing Meng, Shalini Jhangiani, R Alan Harris, Kim C Worley, Juyhun Kim, Arang Rhie, Adam M Phillippy, Fritz Sedlazeck, Ambroise Wonkam, Neil A Hanchard

Faculty, Staff and Students Publications

African genomes are marked by extensive complexity in the number and distribution of variants yet remain under-represented in genetic databases and the human reference genome. This gap in representation limits the broad application of genomic medicine. Sickle cell disease (SCD)-one of the most common monogenic diseases-has its highest prevalence in Africa, and variation in disease severity has consistently been linked to the β-globin locus, including levels of fetal hemoglobin (HbF). Modulation of HbF is central to current SCD gene therapies; however, the inherent complexity and variation at the locus in African genomes present a challenge to translating these advances to …

Exploring Women’S Career Path To Leadership Within The Public Sector, Verona Mitchell

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

Women in public administration face compounding challenges on their paths to executive leadership, yet their lived experiences prior to assuming leadership roles are critically understudied. Existing scholarship has documented the barriers women face once in leadership, but a significant gap remains in understanding the personal, systemic, and relational forces that shape their formative trajectories. This generic qualitative study explored the career journeys and pre-leadership experiences of women leaders in the public sector to better understand the forces shaping their paths to executive roles. Stivers's feminist public administration theory uses women's lived experiences as valid knowledge within its framework. Data were …

Moderating Effects Of Sociodemographic Characteristics And Personality Attributes In Religiosity And Belief In Science Among Iraqi Adults, Abdulhamza Rajooj Hmood

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

There is a limited understanding of how deeply rooted religious and cultural beliefs influence individuals' acceptance of scientific authority and information, especially in non-Western societies where religion plays a central role in social life. This quantitative, nonexperimental correlational study was designed to investigate the link between religiosity and belief in science in an Iraqi sample and to determine whether selected sociodemographic characteristics and Big Five personality attributes influenced this link. It was guided by cultural cognition theory and the Big Five personality model. Religiosity served as the predictor, belief in science as the outcome, whereas sociodemographic characteristics and personality attributes …

The Relationship Between Phishing Policies And Employees' Intention To Comply, Nurbert A. Hughes

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

Some Information technology (IT) managers may have insufficient protection motivation (Prmo) to follow phishing policies, which may leave organizations more vulnerable to phishing attacks that exploit human behavior. IT and business managers worry that low Prmo to recommended protective actions against phishing exposes them to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information, financial loss, operational disruption, and reputational harm. Grounded in protection motivation theory (PMT), the purpose of this quantitative correlational study was to examine the relationships between fear appraisal (Fapr), perceived threat severity (PTsev), perceived threat vulnerability (PTvul), response efficacy (Reff), self-efficacy (Seff), and response costs (Reco), and Prmo. The participants …

Exploring The Lived Experiences Of Women Survivors Of Intimate Partner Violence And Systemic Failures In Criminal Justice, Healthcare And Social Service Systems, Jeannine F. Latsch

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

Intimate partner violence (IPV) disproportionately affects women in the United States. Despite protective legislation and institutional protocols, limited understanding exists of how systemic failures within criminal justice, healthcare, and social service systems affect survivors’ healing, trust, and future help-seeking. The purpose of this qualitative phenomenological study was to explore the lived experiences of women survivors of IPV who interacted with these systems. Feminist theory and institutional betrayal theory were used as the theoretical framework. The research questions were framed to address survivors’ experiences of systemic failures and the influence of those failures on healing, institutional trust, and willingness to seek …

Full Posterior Uncertainty Propagation In The Bg/Nbd Framework A Bayesian Foundation For Individual-Level Customer Behavior Modeling, Stuart V. Kerr

UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal

The Beta-Geometric/Negative Binomial Distribution (BG/NBD) model of Fader et al. (2005) is used to describe repeat-transaction behavior in non-contractual settings: a latent visitation rate, heterogeneous across customers, governs how of- ten a customer transacts while active, and a latent dropout probability, also het- erogeneous, governs when a customer permanently churns. In its classical form, BG/NBD is estimated using maximum likelihood, producing single point estimates of the underlying population parameters and, from these, point estimates of each customer’s individual behavior. This paper develops the model from first princi- ples as a fully Bayesian framework, estimated using Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC), …

Is Copublishing Genuinely With, By And For? Testing The Philosophy Of Publish Or Perish, Kellie Pollard

Talking Heads Seminar Series

This presentation asks critical questions about copublishing in archaeology and cognate disciplines to test the publish or perish philosophy when Indigenous people are involved as knowledge holders and collaborators. Who benefits the most from copublishing? Who is co-publishing for? What criteria should be used to evaluate that co-publishing is a genuine reflection of the with, by, and for, philosophy of Indigenous research methodology? In this presentation I argue that despite significant progress in aspects of archaeology in Australia, co-publishing has escaped a critical analysis of benefits and the potential of transformative impact on decolonisation in theory, methods and practice in …

Changing Ocean Chemistry: Impacts Of Ocean Deoxygenation And Acidification From Benthic Iron Fluxes To Fisheries, De'marcus Robinson

DoMES Seminar Series

Ocean deoxygenation and acidification are impacting marine ecosystems, contributing to changes in ocean biogeochemical cycling and fisheries across the U.S. West Coast and northern Gulf of America/Mexico. Using spatially and temporally resolved observations, numerical modeling, and biogeochemical analyses, this seminar examines how changing ocean conditions influence processes from water-column oxygen dynamics to marine organisms. In the Santa Barbara Basin, observations of dissolved O₂ reveal persistent decadal hypoxic and anoxic conditions and changes in deep-water ventilation associated with high benthic iron fluxes (0.23–4.9 mmol m⁻² d⁻¹). Combining benthic iron flux measurements with numerical simulations demonstrates how iron availability can enhance surface …
