Writing The World: Ursula K. Le Guin And Margaret Atwood’S Literary Contributions To Ecofeminism, Melissa Messer
Writing The World: Ursula K. Le Guin And Margaret Atwood’S Literary Contributions To Ecofeminism, Melissa Messer
Mahurin Honors College Capstone Experience/Thesis Projects
Along with the philosophical writings of ecofeminism’s greatest proponents and critics, the growth of ecofeminist philosophy has relied heavily on fiction writers. The term ecofeminism was coined in 1975, and the following year ecofeminism found fertile ground for exploration and growth in March Peircy’s science fiction novel, Woman on the Edge of Time (1976). The social, academic, and literary trends leading up to the emergence of ecofeminism, however, began well before 1975. Both Ursula K. Le Guin and Margaret Atwood are speculative fiction authors whose work before and after 1975 examines important ecofeminist topics and contributes to the growth of …

Validity Of The Clinical Assessment Of Depression With The Brief Symptom Inventory, Carlie West
Validity Of The Clinical Assessment Of Depression With The Brief Symptom Inventory, Carlie West
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
Depression is a disorder frequently noted in college students that can affect multiple aspects of one's life, ranging from physical health issues to interpersonal relationship difficulties. Therefore, it is imperative that the depressive symptoms of college students be identified, evaluated, and treated. This investigation explored the validity of a newly published self-report narrow-band measure of depression, the Clinical Assessment of Depression (CAD; Bracken & Howell, 2004) with an existing broad-band measure, the Brief Symptom Inventory (Derogatis, 1993). College students 18 to 52 years of age (n = 280) enrolled in undergraduate courses in psychology at a south central Kentucky university …
The Effects Of Intensity Level And Expertise On Attentional Focus During Exercise, Diana Gieske
The Effects Of Intensity Level And Expertise On Attentional Focus During Exercise, Diana Gieske
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
An important goal of exercise psychology is to identify factors that influence exercise adherence. More than half of Americans do not get the physical activity that doctors recommend for maintaining or improving a healthy lifestyle. Attentional focus during exercise has been identified as one casual factor with regard to exercise adherence. Attentional focus has traditionally oeen defined as associative or dissociative (Morgan & Pollock, 1977). Association implies that an exerciser's attention is focused on how his or her body is reacting to the exercise (such as sweating, muscle soreness, and breathing) or on things such as pace and split-times. Dissociation …
Some Barriers To Development In Cameroon, Kenya And Swaziland, Matthew Moore
Some Barriers To Development In Cameroon, Kenya And Swaziland, Matthew Moore
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
In the study of development, researchers attempt to identify and measure the independent variables believed to influence economic growth and social development indicators in countries throughout the world. These researchers employ quantitative cross-national research methods, also known as the variable-oriented approach, while others may pursue a more case-oriented approach and examine a handful of countries employing a historical-comparative method. Education is a variable that has been identified in both of these research traditions to be positively related to the development of a country. However, when the effects of education on development are examined cross-nationally, it is clear that the countries …
The Whitehead Link On The Cubic Lattice, Elizabeth Haynes
The Whitehead Link On The Cubic Lattice, Elizabeth Haynes
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
The cubic lattice is a graph in Â3 where the vertices are points with integer coordinates and edges are unit length line segments parallel to the x-, y-, or z-axis. A step is a line segment that connects one vertex to a neighboring vertex one unit away in the x-, y-, or z-direction. This thesis will show that the Whitehead Link needs at least 34 steps to be embedded on the cubic lattice.
P27 Expression In Endothelin-1 Stimulated Mitogenesis, Joseph Kiriu
P27 Expression In Endothelin-1 Stimulated Mitogenesis, Joseph Kiriu
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
Bovine corneal endothelial cells (BCECs) have been shown in our lab to synthesize and secrete endothelin-1 (ET-1). The endothelin-1 binds ETA receptors, this elevates intracellular calcium, stimulate DNA replication and cell division. This investigation explores ET-l's role as a mitogenic factor in corneal endothelial cells and addresses whether mitogenic activity is mediated through the cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor p27. BCEC were isolated from bovine eyes and grown in DMEM-10% serum in a 5% C02, 37° C incubator. Confluent cultures of BCEC were incubated for 24 hours with lOOnM Endothelin-1, luM BQ123 and BQ123 +100nM Endothelin-1 and some left untreated. Total …

Examining The Relationship Between Family Leisure And Physical Activity In Seventh And Eighth Grade Students, Trinity Edwards
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
This study examined the relationship between family leisure and physical activity in seventh and eighth grade students. The sample was self-selected from a population of students from a Midwest junior high school (N=526). Data were collected through a survey instrument sent home with students via their homeroom teacher. The instrument was accompanied by: (a) minor assent form, (b) parental informed consent form, and (c) survey instrument for the parent respondents including relevant demographic questions. The survey instrument comprised the Family Leisure Activity Profile (Zabriskie, 2000), Satisfaction with Family Life Scale, and six physical activity questions. The physical activity questions were …

The Effect Of Ecological Gradients On The Fish Assemblages Of The Green And Tradewater River Basins Of Kentucky, Brian Lewis
The Effect Of Ecological Gradients On The Fish Assemblages Of The Green And Tradewater River Basins Of Kentucky, Brian Lewis
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
The composition of lotic assemblages is influenced by many landscape factors. Foremost among these are basin geomorphology, fluvial and substrate characteristics, stream size, and land use. The primary purpose of this investigation was to determine if fish assemblages within Kentucky's Green River and Tradewater River Basins were associated with local scale environmental gradients and, if so, which gradients were the most important in shaping fish assemblages and which fish species were most closely associated with these gradients. A secondary purpose was to determine which regionalization or characterization strategy best segregated streams within the study area according to fish assemblages. Eighty-eight …
Conservation Studies Of Insect Cave Faunas In Mammoth Cave National Park And Ghana, West Africa, Chris Dewildt
Conservation Studies Of Insect Cave Faunas In Mammoth Cave National Park And Ghana, West Africa, Chris Dewildt
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
As part of a long term ecological monitoring effort at Mammoth Cave National Park, a blind cave beetle, Neaphaenops tellkampfi, was collected and data on populations trends gathered from September 2005 through December 2006 in Great Onyx Cave. The sex and age of each individual in each of 15 sites were determined and density trends of the entire population was measured. The species was chosen due to its role as an indicator species, since potential anthropogenic threats to the environment can be detected via population response. This was the initial implementation of a new monitoring method and a test of …
Assimilation Into A Therapeutic Community For Substance-Abusing Women, Joni Furlong
Assimilation Into A Therapeutic Community For Substance-Abusing Women, Joni Furlong
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
Therapeutic communities provide structure, support and a safe living environment for individuals attempting to recover from addiction. Using peer influence, counseling, education, self-help groups, and case management, they assist residents in conforming to social norms and developing effective coping mechanisms while remaining drug-free. Prior studies have consistently demonstrated the effectiveness of these programs. But, why are they effective for some and not others? This study explored the residents1 backgrounds and the methods employed by them to assimilate into the therapeutic community, the recovering community, and then society at large. The data confirmed my suspicion that the women's ability to conform …
Phylogenetic Analysis Of The Cetonini Of The New World (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Cetoninae), Jesus Orozeo
Phylogenetic Analysis Of The Cetonini Of The New World (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Cetoninae), Jesus Orozeo
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
The American genera of Cetoniini (Coleoptera: Cetoniinae) are analyzed. Fifty-eight morphological characters of seventy two taxa, including Cetoniini from the entire world and other representative tribes of Cetoniinae, were included in a phylogenetic analysis and studied under the parsimony criterion. The Cetoniini, a tribe including species from all continents, is monophyletic and appears supported by two homoplastic characters: the elytra-thorax articulation in a glove-like shape and the mesosternal process basally compressed and apically expanded in shape. No clade supporting a hypothesis of common ancestry for the American species was found. Of the traditionally defined genera in the American continents only …
Analysis Of Gene Expression In Mouse Brains During Toxoplasma Gondii Infection, Yi Zhou
Analysis Of Gene Expression In Mouse Brains During Toxoplasma Gondii Infection, Yi Zhou
Mahurin Honors College Capstone Experience/Thesis Projects
Previous studies in our laboratory have shown that dietary supplementation with antioxidants is harmful during murine infection with the protozoan parasite, Toxoplasma gondii, which causes toxoplasmosis in humans. Dietary supplementation with vitamin E and selenium was shown to increase tissue cyst number, tissue pathology, and weight loss during T. gondii infection. The goal of the present study was to determine the impact of diet on global gene expression in the brains of infected and non-infected mice and to identify the major genes that are differentially expressed, determine their function, and discover the molecular pathways in which these genes participate. Whole …
