Effect Of Different Diet Methods On Body Composition And Insulin, Leptin, And Ghrelin Levels In Overweight Women, Begum Sarica, Gulbin Rudarli Nalcakan, Ece Onur

Baltic Journal of Health and Physical Activity

Introduction. This study aims to compare the effects of similar calorie-restricted intermittent overnight fasting diet (OFD) and frequent-meal diet (FMD) on body composition and insulin, leptin, and ghrelin levels in overweight women. Materials and Methods: While the FMD was administered as six mealtimes, the OFD was administered as five mealtimes and at least 12 hours overnight fasting for four weeks. Some parameters regarding the metabolic rate and fat metabo-lism (glucose, insulin, HOMA-IR, leptin, ghrelin levels), body composition, resting metabolic rate, and physical activity level were measured before and after the diet. Results: There was no sig-nificant difference in the resting …

Examining Student Performance Using Statistical Data To Inform Instruction: A New Way To Ensure Teaching Effectiveness While Building On A Student's Cultural Capital & Funds Of Knowledge, Esther Hernandez, Ava Green

Undergraduate Research Conference

Teaching is a dynamic process and therefore demands deep and critical thinking, not just in regards to lesson planning but in terms of the specific needs of each student. In this project, we embarked on a lesson that required deep analysis of our context, ourselves, and our students.

Let's Get Serious About It: Plastic-Free Campus Initiative, Geoffrey Kain, Camdyn Doucette, Regan Bossie

Sustainability Conference

On February 23, 2022, the UN agreed to start negotiating a world-first global treaty on plastic waste--since nearly 200 nations unanimously agreed to move toward a legally binding plastics treaty by 2024. In 2019 the UN Environmental Programme report highlighted that "our world is drowning in plastic." As with the climate change crisis (to which plastics production and disposal are also linked), the data resoundingly illustrate the imminent systemic threat that disposable plastics pose to the world's seas, freshwater sources, soils, food supply, air, and species. Nevertheless, plastics production is predicted to rise dramatically over the next 20 years, with …

Eurasian Journal of Sport Science

Aim: It consists in developing a test for a special endurance monitor, having studied the training composition and characteristics of martial artists.

Methods: In the article, we used the following techniques, based on differences in the dynamics of motor activity (DMA), we divided athletes into 3 groups:

"flat", characterized by relative uniformity of motor activity in the process of wrestlers' competition;

"double peak", characterized by a twofold increase in motor activity at competitions more than once in each period;

"triple peak", which describes a three-fold increase in motor activity during competition with one increase in the first period and two …

Rethinking Grading: Exploring High School Teachers' Experiences With Changing To A Nontraditional Grading System, Sarah E. Leonard

Doctor of Education (EdD)

This exploratory case study examined the experiences of high school teachers who made sense of and enacted a gradeless system in their classes. The study explored what led the teacher participants to make such a significant shift in their thinking and practice as well as what supports and/or challenges they experienced in the process of implementing a nontraditional grading system. The three participants constituted a unique case as they explored an alternative grading model quite different from the traditional 0-100-point model that tends to be the dominant system in public high schools. The findings revealed that the nontraditional systems they …

The College Completion Agenda, Guided Pathways, And The Role Of Data In Informing Change: A Case Study Examining The Use Of Early Momentum Metrics To Advance Student Success, Meghan Gara Alai

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this qualitative multiple case study was to understand how leaders at two community colleges that participated in Guided Pathways used early momentum metrics (EMMs) to change institutional policies or practices to improve student success and degree completion rates. By focusing on EMMs as short-term indicators, leaders could track the effectiveness of institutional changes for the planning, implementation, and evaluation of Guided Pathways. The results of this study contributed new understanding to how leaders can better use EMMs to shape institutional changes that improve student success. This study provided leaders with tangible examples of EMMs in action and …

Conceptualizing Parental Support In K-12 Online Education, Courtney N. Hanny

Theses and Dissertations

External support, such as that provided by parents, plays an important role in helping students in K-12 online education engage in their education and obtain academic success. The Academic Communities of Engagement (ACE) framework has been proposed as one way of conceptualizing the communities that support students, including the roles that parents and guardians play. Research studying parental support in online education could benefit from the structure offered from the ACE framework, but, due to the framework's novelty, it has not been widely applied in research. The first article in this thesis sought to use the ACE framework to synthesize …

Foundational Curriculum To Engage Students In The Occupation Of Cooking, Brooke Mehus, Karen Park

Spring 2022 Virtual OTD Capstone Symposium

The reason for this project is that adolescents are not being provided with the knowledge surrounding cooking and meal preparation from their household, secondary schooling systems, and/or a lack of culinary programs resulting in a decrease in independence and life skills. Therefore, an additional program needs to be implemented in order to address these barriers.

The purpose of this project was to develop a program to enhance participation of adolescents in the occupation of cooking emphasizing life skills, safety, confidence, and knowledge within the kitchen. The program was completed at The Winston School which had an existing culinary arts program; …
