▼ Instagram (IG) is a social media application that allows users to upload personal images in a public forum by including a searchable link (e.g. hashtag) along with a posted image. An IG community devoted to a pro-recovery (i.e.,anarecovery) perspective on eating disorders (EDs) stands alongside the pro-ana lifestyle IG community (i.e., #ana). Research has yet to examine the nature of visual representations associated with pro-ana and pro-recovery social media imagery and moreover, not much empirical attention has been given to the nature of this content on IG. Thus, the first aim of this qualitative content analysis was to examine how the underlying theoretical constructs of objectified body consciousness (OBC) and positive body image (PBI) were represented among #ana and #anarecovery content. A second aim was to compare the frequency of the themes present for #ana versus #anarecovery images. A coding guide was developed and high levels of interrater reliability were established for the primary codes (kappa ≥ .80). One hundred and fifty IG images each from #ana and #anarecovery were systematically coded. Within- and between-hashtag comparisons of images were performed using frequency counts and chi-square analyses. Within #ana images, the theme of body shame (62.7%) was more frequently depicted relative to body surveillance (22%) and appearance control (22%) themes. Within #anarecovery images, the theme of body protection was most prevalent (67.3%) followed by body functionality (38.7%) and body acceptance (11.3%) themes. All three OBC themes were more likely to be present in #ana images. Conversely, PBI themes of body protection and body functionality were more frequently represented in the #anarecovery images. The frequency of body acceptance themes did not differentiate the images sampled from both hashtags. This research calls for more expanded and distinguished definitions of the constructs that comprise the continuum of PBI. Findings also suggest how the lack of distinction in the frequency of body acceptance observed between the two hashtags may be clinically relevant for exploring potential risk factors that persist in the process of ED recovery.

▼ Everyone goes to school but everyone does not have the same experience of schooling. Assumptions about the schooling experience affect policy decisions as well as the way schools are structured and operate. Freire (1970) reminds us that all students are creators of culture and have the right to name their worlds. They also have a right to use their critical capacities to tell those in power what is working and what is not when it comes to school. Yet how do we create a system that allows students access to the ears and eyes of those in power with whom they can share their experiences? Furthermore, how can we convince those in power that these student experiences are valuable and in fact essential to the discourse on school reform? The literature on dropouts, particularly since the implementation of the No Child Left Behind Act (2001), has become more and more limited to at-risk categories and lacks the voices and experiences of students in schools. At the same time the dropout statistics for minorities in particular are staggering (Orfield, Losen, Wald, & Swanson, 2004; Schott, 2010). Less than 50% of black males graduate in the United States each year (Schott, 2010). Terms like “dropout factories” have become commonplace in discussing schools that produce more dropouts than graduates (Balfanz & Legters, 2004). This research study intends to provide a glimpse into the lives of labeled at-risk middle school students through photography, writing and interview. This dissertation was grounded in a critical feminist framework and employed a qualitative methodology with an ethnographic case study design (Merriam, 1988). The primary data collection tool was Photovoice (Wang & Burris, 1997). Photovoice is a community and participatory action research methodology developed by Wang and Burris (1997) that “uses the immediacy of the visual image to furnish evidence and to promote an effective, participatory means of sharing knowledge and expertise” (Wang & Burris, 1997, p. 369). The purpose of this study was to explore self-image and schooling through the eyes of students so that we can better understand what school means to them by placing them as the knower, at the center of the study. This study relied upon students using cameras and words to capture and share their views on self and their schooling experiences. The students were volunteers in an after school enrichment program and were also serving long-term suspensions from their homeschools for serious discipline violations. These students are considered high risk by their school district for dropping out, truancy, violence and criminal behavior. The data is presented primarily in photos with writing and interview excerpts. There are three stories or case studies, which highlight the individual voices of students as well as holistic themes, which tell the collective story of this bounded group (Glesne, 2006). There were four main findings that emerged from the data the students and…

▼ Hepatic fibrosis is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide and can be described as exacerbated wound-healing marked by excessive deposition of extracellular matrix components, predominantly type I collagen. Chronic injury stimulates accumulation of scar matrix synthesized by hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) resulting in distortion of normal liver architecture, disruption of blood flow and organ dysfunction. In a normal healthy liver, HSCs are found in the quiescent state functioning to store vitamin A in the form of retinyl esters, regulate sinusoidal microcirculation, and maintain normal basement membrane conditions. Following exposure to fibrogenic stimuli, HSCs transdifferentiate to activated myofibroblast-like cells marked by increased proliferative and hypercontractile properties. Currently there are no FDA-approved treatments for hepatic fibrosis. Outside of surgical resection, orthotopic transplantation is an option for certain disease states; however, the current list of patients in need of transplant far exceeds the annual donor rate. As HSCs are considered the primary effector cells of fibrosis, targeting various points of transdifferentiation and resolution to impede disease development/progression is of therapeutic interest. The process of HSC transdifferentiation is classically divided into initiation and perpetuation phases, each characterized by unique cellular events. Examination of genetic programming in early HSC transdifferentiation revealed coordinate changes in gene expression by components of JAK/STAT signaling. Chemical inhibition of this signaling pathway blocked HSC activation morphologically and through interruption of genetic reprogramming denoted by significantly decreased pro-fibrotic gene expression. Post-transcriptional regulation of HSC transdifferentiation (initiation and perpetuation phases) is controlled, in part, by changes in global microRNA (miR) expression patterns. Specifically, miR 19b was significantly decreased in activated compared to quiescent HSCs. Overexpression of miR 19b in culture-activated HSCs significantly decreased pro-fibrotic transforming growth factor beta (TGFβ) signaling by direct inhibition of TGFβRII and subsequent decreases in collagen expression and markers of HSC activation. miR 19b expression was also significantly decreased in rodent models of fibrosis and in liver tissue from fibrotic patients, indicating miR 19b as a novel biomarker and possible therapeutic. Finally, examination of transdifferentiation resolution has indicated involvement of HSC apoptosis. However, newly transdifferentiated stellate cells display increased resistance to apoptotic stimuli. Aquaporins (AQP) are known regulators of programmed cell death in mediation of the apoptotic volume decrease necessary for downstream caspase and nuclease activation. Analyses showed AQP expression was significantly decreased in activated compared to quiescent HSCs. Quiescent HSCs expressing multiple AQP homologs responded to osmotic challenge, an…

▼ The purpose of this study was to develop the Comparative Appraisal of perceived Resources and Demands for Principals (CARD-P), which is used for appraising perceived stress in the elementary school principalship. An appraisal-based definition of stress was derived from literature and used as the theoretical framework for creating the instrument. The instrument was developed to capture the cognitive-transactional nature of stress as the differential between the subjective appraisal of demands and resources within the school/school district environment. The instrument was adapted from the Classroom Appraisal of Resources and Demands – School-aged Version developed by Lambert, McCarthy, & Abbott-Shim (2001). The CARD-P was developed in three stages. The first stage utilized a questionnaire given to a purposeful sample of six current principals stratified by grade level to determine characteristics (personal, school, and school system), demands, and resources perceived as most contributing to stress in the principalship. Due to the differences between perceptions of elementary and high school principals, the instrument was designed for elementary principals. The second stage aligned the characteristics, demands and resources with relevant literature to generate items and subscales for inclusion in a prototype. In the final stage, cognitive interviews with six elementary principals were used to improve the comprehension, structure, and clarity of the instrument. The CARD-P (Appendix G) is a 104-item instrument for measuring perceived stress in the elementary school principalship. The CARD-P employs four sub-scales: two scales with short anwers for general information about the principal (13 items) and the school/school district (16 items), a 36-item perceived demands subscale with a five-point Likert-like scale from 1 (not demanding) to 5 (extremely demanding), and a 34-item perceived resources and supports subscale with a five-point Likert-like scale from 1 (very unhelpful) to 5 (very helpful). Four open-ended questions are also included in the measure. Through these sub-scales, the CARD-P attempts to measure principal stress as the difference between the perceived demands and the perceived resources subscales. While the data from this study supports the potential of the instrument for use by elementary principals, future research is needed to assess the technical quality of the instrument. Future research may also include the expansion of the CARD-P for middle and high school principals.

▼ Providing an understanding of space in game and simulation environments is one of the major challenges associated with moving artificially intelligent characters through these environments. The usage of some form of navigation mesh has become the standard method to provide a representation of the walkable space in game environments to characters moving around in that environment. There is currently no standardized best method of producing a navigation mesh. In fact, producing an optimal navigation mesh has been shown to be an NP-Hard problem. Current approaches are a patchwork of divergent methods all of which have issues either in the time to create the navigation meshes (e.g., the best looking navigation meshes have traditionally been produced by hand which is time consuming), generate substandard quality navigation meshes (e.g., many of the automatic mesh production algorithms result in highly triangulated meshes that pose problems for character navigation), or yield meshes that contain gaps of areas that should be included in the mesh and are not (e.g., existing growth-based methods are unable to adapt to non-axis-aligned geometry and as such tend to provide a poor representation of the walkable space in complex environments). We introduce the Planar Adaptive Space Filling Volumes (PASFV) algorithm, Volumetric Adaptive Space Filling Volumes (VASFV) algorithm, and the Iterative Wavefront Edge Expansion Cell Decomposition (Wavefront) algorithm. These algorithms provide growth-based spatial decompositions for navigation mesh generation in either 2D (PASFV) or 3D (VASFV). These algorithms generate quick (on demand) decompositions (Wavefront), use quad/cube base spatial structures to provide more regular regions in the navigation mesh instead of triangles, and offer full coverage decompositions to avoid gaps in the navigation mesh by adapting to non-axis-aligned geometry. We have shown experimentally that the decompositions offered by PASFV and VASFV are superior both in character navigation ability, number of regions, and coverage in comparison to the existing and commonly used techniques of Space Filling Volumes, Hertel-Melhorn decomposition, Delaunay Triangulation, and Automatic Path Node Generation. Finally, we show that our Wavefront algorithm retains the superior performance of the PASFV and VASFV algorithms while providing faster decompositions that contain fewer degenerate and near degenerate regions. Unlike traditional navigation mesh generation techniques, the PASFV and VASFV algorithms have a real time extension (Dynamic Adaptive Space Filling Volumes, DASFV) which allows the navigation mesh to adapt to changes in the geometry of the environment at runtime. In addition, it is possible to use a navigation mesh for applications above and beyond character path planning and navigation. These multiple uses help to increase the return on the investment in creating a navigation mesh for a game or simulation environment. In particular, we will show how to use a navigation mesh…

▼ Accurate travel demand / Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT) and crash predictions helps planners to plan, propose and prioritize infrastructure projects for future improvements. Existing methods are based on demographic characteristics, socio-economic characteristics, and on-network (includes traffic volume) characteristics. A few methods have considered land use characteristics but along with other predictor variables. A strong correlation exists between land use characteristics and these other predictor variables. None of the past research has attempted to directly evaluate the effect and influence of land use characteristics on travel demand/AADT and crashes at both area and link level. These land use characteristics may be easy to capture and may have better predictive capabilities than other variables. The primary focus of this research is to develop macroscopic and microscopic models to estimate travel demand and crashes with an emphasis on land use characteristics. The proposed methodology involves development of macroscopic (area level) and microscopic (link level) models by incorporating scientific principles, statistical and artificial intelligent techniques. The microscopic models help evaluate the link level performance, whereas the macroscopic models help evaluate the overall performance of an area. The method for developing macroscopic models differs from microscopic models. The areas of land use characteristics were considered in developing macroscopic models, whereas the principle of demographic gravitation is incorporated in developing microscopic models. Statistical and back-propagation neural network (BPNN) techniques are used in developing the models. The results obtained indicate that statistical and neural network models ensured significantly lower errors. Overall, the BPNN models yielded better results in estimating travel demand and crashes than any other approach considered in this research. The neural network approach can be particularly suitable for their better predictive capability, whereas the statistical models could be used for mathematical formulation or understanding the role of explanatory variables in estimating AADT. Results obtained also indicate that land use characteristics have better predictive capabilities than other variables considered in this research. The outcomes can be used in safety conscious planning, land use decisions, long range transportation plans, prioritization of projects (short term and long term), and, to proactively apply safety treatments.

▼ A self-contained, fully portable, Josephson junction voltage reference standard system has been designed, developed and tested. The system relies on an active, closed-cycle refrigerator (CCR) cryocooler system and completely eliminates the reliance on liquid helium for cooling the Josephson Junction Array (JJA) chip to the required superconducting temperature of approximately to 4.2 K. The CCR based system has performance capabilities comparable to the liquid helium Dewar-based system and is packaged to operate as a portable system in environments like the US Army's calibration vans or calibration labs that do not have access to liquid helium. The use of a CCR based cryocooling system brings forth many challenges not found in the classic Dewar-based system. This work identifies the principal challenges for achieving an operating system, and provides unique solutions to overcoming two areas of significant concern, thermal management and electromagnetic noise. Dewar based systems provide three-dimensional convective cooling. While very effective in cooling, they are inappropriate for portable labs and are subject to evaporation. The challenge for an active system is in providing adequate thermal management to ensure sufficient cooling despite having only one-dimensional conductive cooling. An extensive study was conducted into various methodologies for mounting the chip in the new system and ensuring that superconducting temperatures were obtained. The surface roughness of a conventional machined surface is in the range of several micrometers. The random peaks and valleys of the surface offer insufficient contact area between the cryocooler cold-head and the Josephson junction array chip, resulting in higher than superconducting temperatures at the JJA chip surface. Several approaches researched to increase the thermal contact conductance included thermal grease, adhesives and other high conductivity interstitial materials. The solution provided in this research is an elegantly simple technique, which eliminated the introduction of viscous materials or adhesives, thereby improving the maintainability of the chip. An innovative chip-mount was designed and machined using a state-of-the-art diamond turning technique to achieve a surface roughness of lower than 5 nm and completely eliminate the use of any foreign material. The diamond turned surface attained an operational temperature of 4.2 ± 0.2 K indicating a 30% improvement in the ability to cool the JJA chip. The second area of interest is understanding the presence of magnetic fields and electromagnetic noise in the vicinity of the JJA chip and eliminating or greatly reducing them. High permeability MuMetal® magnetic shields were designed and installed to reduce the presence of magnetic field by up to 90%, and the nature of magnetic field noises were experimentally quantified. Performance deterioration due to the presence of electromagnetic noise induced by the cryocooler, motor and pump was expected, but…

▼ This research explores how African American women's narratives present their healing processes after they experience domestic violence. The research was conducted within the framework of Black feminist epistemology. A narrative approach was selected to present the lived experience of each woman in her own words. Participants were selected through a purposive, snowball sampling procedure. The criteria for participants included three elements: (a) African American women who were native to the United States, (b) experience with domestic violence, and (c) in a self defined process of healing as evidenced by one or more criteria of healing. Six participants were identified and recruited by domestic violence service providers. One participant was subsequently excluded from the research as she had no experiences of being physically abused. The other five participants completed a series of three interviews. The transcribed interviews were analyzed using narrative data analysis procedures that were adapted from Polkinghorne. A storied account for each woman was constructed from the interview data. The stories contain the plot elements, both exterior and interior, that helped each woman move from trauma to healing. The stories also convey biographical elements for each woman that provide a context for the abuse and subsequent healing. Following the stories, the major common themes are identified. In the discussion section, the healing themes from the narratives are related to the relevant literature. The healing narratives contain the five markers of posttraumatic growth: deepened spirituality, redefinition of self, hope for the future, increased gratitude, and deepened relationships. Although growth is evident in all five areas, the participants stress the primary importance of their spiritual connections to God. Cognitive restructuring is the process by which the women are able to develop deeper spiritual faith and to tap into their own internal strength and wisdom. Racial issues are also discussed, including areas of discrepancy between the participants' accounts and literature about African American women and domestic violence. The discrepancies are explored and questions are raised about how the race of the interviewer might have impacted the interview process. The discrepancies are also discussed within the context of the literature about intersecting identities and racial identity development. The implications for clinical practice are presented along with specific recommendations for helping African American victims of domestic violence heal from the trauma. Limitations of the research are named and suggestions for future research are outlined.

▼ Distance learning continues to be used in the context of teacher training in special education. Distance learning is experienced through computer-mediated communication (CMC) tools via the Internet, or online learning. Little research has been done to evaluate student perceptions of the helpfulness of CMC tools in online learning. This quantitative study utilizes an online survey of graduate and certification teachers in training for special education. The survey evaluates student perceptions of CMC tool helpfulness, social presence, teaching presence and cognitive presence. Descriptive and inferential statistical analyses are used to evaluate mean differences for different combinations of CMC tool usage and for possible relationships between tool helpfulness and social or teaching presence. Additional demographic variables of gender, level of study, registration status, concentration of study, prior online courses taken and years of teaching experience are also evaluated for possible relationships with social, teaching, and cognitive presence. Results suggest that participants were comfortable with using CMC tools and perceived e-mail, discussion forums, news forums, web-conferencing, and text chat as helpful tools for social and teaching presence communications. Participants using discussion forums perceived higher teaching and cognitive presence than those using only web-conferencing. Participants using both discussion forums and web-conferencing perceived higher cognitive presence than those using only web-conferencing. Results of standard multiple regressions indicated that 31% of the variance in teaching presence (24% of variance in social presence) was accounted for by knowing helpfulness scores on e-mail, discussion forums, and news forums. Discussion forums were most helpful for promoting teaching presence. E-mail was most helpful for promoting social presence. There were no statistically significant mean differences among groups based on gender, level of study, registration status, concentration of study, or years of teaching experience. Results suggest that perceptions of teaching and cognitive presence may decline as the number of online courses taken increases.

▼ The purpose of this research was to seek evidence of awareness of metacognitive processes and intertextuality in the reading comprehension of students in an adult basic education class. Its purpose was to interweave several strands of research investigation and theory to explain the reading and writing capabilities of a representative population in an adult basic education class. This action research in the form of inquiry is described by Weirauch and Kuhne, (2000), and by Neimi in 1989 in Quigley's, Fulfilling the Promise of Adult and Continuing Education. It consists of part action research and part advocacy in a mixed methods approach with an emphasis on improving the education of adults returning to school to further their job prospects or remediate their lack of education (p. 56). The participants were all working adults in an Adult Basic Education class with either a high school diploma or a GED. The four components to the research design were two survey instruments: Mokhtari and Richardson's "Metacognitive Awareness of Reading Strategies Inventory" (MARSI) and Schraw and Dennison's "Metacognitive Awareness Inventory" (MAI). There were three reading-comprehension modules taken from standard popular and school literature coupled with written impressions and thoughts following both the first and second readings. The illustration requirement captured an aspect of the reading that the student felt was emotionally significant or had a strong visual element. The difference between this research and other research in the field is the inclusion of a rich picture description module designed to capture non-conscious elements of understanding and to counter any effects of self-report. One finding of this study shows that people often do not know how much they do not know, and tend to either overestimate or underestimate their abilities. A second finding is that the rich picture illustration revealed understandings beyond the participants' written expression.
