▼ The current study examined the association between home and occupational exposure with secondhand smoke (SHS) adult cigarette smoking (CSMK) behavior among a diverse Hispanic/Latino population living in four U.S. urban centers. Additionally, it evaluated the effect of gender on this association. The study’s conceptual framework was based on social cognitive and socio- and behavioral ecological theories. At this time, there is a paucity of research on the effect of SHS exposure on CSMK among Hispanics/Latinos residing in the United States, and how gender impacts this association. To address these gaps in the tobacco literature, the current cross-sectional observational study utilized baseline data from the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos (HCHS/SOL) (n=16,354, ages 18–74 years) using logistic regression. The findings showed that past and current SHS exposure was positively and significantly associated with adult current cigarette smoking (CCSMK). In addition, gender moderated this association. These data provide insight into the role played by past and current SHS exposure in the home and work environments on adult CSMK behavior, as well as the effect of gender, among ethno-culturally diverse Hispanics/Latinos.

▼ To model two-way propagation of waves in physical systems where nonlinear and dispersive effects are equally important, coupled systems of partial differential equations arise. The focus of this study is a particular coupled system of two evolution equations of generalized BBM-type. The coupling in these model systems is through the nonlinearities, which are a pair of homogenous quadratic polynomials. They have the same general mathematical structure as do more complicated models of surface and internal wave propagation.
The present study is concerned with initial-value problems wherein the wave profile and the velocity are specified at a starting time. This is a natural generalization of the initial-value problem for the BBM or regularized long-wave (RLW) equation itself, that was originally proposed as an alternative to the classical Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation. Equations like KdV and BBM model unidirectional propagation of small amplitude, long wavelength waves. The initial condition represents a snapshot of an initial disturbance. The coupled systems allow for two-way propagation of waves, and so have a wider range of applicability. They are, however, mathematically more intricate.
These coupled BBM-type systems are shown to be locally well-posed in the L
2-based Sobolev spaces H
s for any s ≥ 0. The further spatial and temporal regularity of solutions is also investigated. It transpires that there is no smoothing in the spacial variable, but there is smoothing in the temporal variable.
Conditions are derived that imply the local well-posedness theory to extend globally. That is, under exact conditions on the coefficients of the quadratic nonlinearities, solutions are shown to exist and remain bounded for all time provided the initial data is at least in H
1. Using a Fourier splitting technique, global solutions are also inferred even when the initial data is only in L

▼ In the present study, we tested the hypothesis that oxidative/nitrosative stress promotes caveolin-1 (Cav-1) degradation, providing an underlying mechanism of endothelial cell activation/dysfunction in patients with idiopathic pulmonary artery hypertension (IPAH). It has been shown that there is a decrease in Cav-1 in IPAH patient samples, but the mechanism of this loss has not been elucidated. Our work aimed to reveal the mechanism of Cav-1 loss that is seen in several diseases, including IPAH. When we analyzed the human pulmonary artery endothelial cells (PAECs) from patients with IPAH, we observed reduced Cav-1 expression and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) hyperphosphorylation. This is consistent with the theory that Cav-1 is a regulator of eNOS. In the IPAH samples, Cav-1 protein levels were decreased despite increased expression of Cav-1 messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA). In control human lung endothelial cells, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α)-induced nitric oxide (NO) production and S-nitrosation (SNO) of Cav-1 cysteine-156 (C156) was associated within 5 minutes with Src displacement and activation, Cav-1 tyrosine-14 (Y14) phosphorylation, and destabilization of Cav-1 oligomers, which was blocked by inhibiting either eNOS with the NOS inhibitor L-NG-Nitroarginine Methyl Ester (L-NAME) or Src with 4-amino-5-(4-chloro-phenyl)-7-(t-butyl)pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine (PP2). Prolonged (72 hours) stimulation with the NO donor DETA-NONOate reduced oligomerized and total Cav-1 levels by 40-80%, similar to that observed in IPAH patient samples. Inhibition of the proteasome and Src prevented Cav-1 degradation in cells treated with DETA-NONOate, suggesting that Cav-1 SNO and sustained phosphorylation promote ubiquitination and degradation by the proteasome. In transduced human embryonic kidney (HEK) cells, we observed reduced oligomerization of cysteine 156 to serine (C156S) Cav-1 mutant, indicating this mutation might mimic the effect of nitrosation. Mass spectrometry analysis revealed ubiquitination of Cav-1 on lysine-86 (K86). Thus, reduced Cav-1 expression due to oxidative stress-induced Cav-1 SNO of C156, Src activation, and phosphorylation of Cav-1 Y14, ubiquitination of Cav-1 K86, and ultimately proteosomal degradation of Cav-1 is associated with eNOS hyperactivation and loss of caveolae in PAECs from patients with IPAH. These studies indicate chronic inflammation and sustained oxidative stress may promote endothelial cell dysfunction via degradation of Cav-1.

▼ As technology improves, big data are collected more easily and frequently. Especially plenty
of genome sequences are discovered from laboratories as well as sound and images files are acquired from both academia and industry. Many new statistical methods have been developed to cope with the corresponding computational problems. This thesis involves comparing multiple-segmented viral genome sequences accurately and quickly, and carrying out principal component analysis on high dimensional and functional data with outliers. This thesis consists of two parts: multiple-segmented virus classification and iterative kernel robust principal component analysis. These two parts share a common characteristic: they both
encounter computational difficulty due to either large sample sizes or high dimensions so that there is a need of transformations to reduce the dimensions and keep as much of the original information as possible. This is a “big data” problem, one of the most popular challenges for statisticians and information scientists.
For the first part, my study mainly focuses on classifying multiple-segmented viruses using their genome sequences. Virologists usually only compare a single genome segment of one virus
to each other. There has been a lot of research on developing sequence comparison approaches.
In one of our past study, we proposed the natural vector method, and showed that it predict
single-segmented viruses accurate and quickly. However, it remains a question, how to compare multiple-segmented viruses, especially when they have unequal number of segments or we have insufficient biological information. For example, Influenza virus A has 8 segments, but scientists
sometimes find part of these segments. If we only found 6 segments from a new Influenza A virus strain, how could we compare it with other viruses? One solution is comparing them segment by segment. However, in order to use full viral genome information, we would like to compare all segments simultaneously. Currently, the consensus tree method is a widely used tool which can combine phylogenetic trees of segments. However, this approach has not been validated. Therefore, we propose a new method to measure the similarity of multiple-segmented viruses accurately and quickly. We analyze the newly mutated Influenza A virus, H7N9. The first case of human infections was reported in 2013. The distance between
viral genome sequences has been used for classification of viruses. The core question is to measure the similarity of two multiple-segmented viral genome sequences which may contain unequal numbers of segments.
For the second part of this thesis, we review the robust kernel principal component analysis
and the potential computation and accuracy problems that might occur. Thus we propose a novel iterative robust kernel principal component analysis to cope with both of these problem. The computation and storage costs of implementing singular value decomposition (SVD) are proportional to cubic and square of the sample size respectively. To overcome…

▼ The population of manual wheelchair users is increasing notably faster than the general population. Manual wheelchair users have a disproportionately high prevalence of shoulder pain and injury, most likely due to the repetitive and load-bearing nature of propulsion. Previous wheelchair propulsion studies have reported on the kinematics of propulsion using traditional time-series data (e.g., propulsion cycle time, shoulder range of motion, et cetera) in an attempt to predict individuals at risk for developing shoulder pathology. However, a reliable method of prediction has yet to be attained using these metrics. Due to the repetitive nature of wheelchair propulsion cycle-to-cycle variability (i.e., inter-cycle variability) of the traditional kinematic indices may provide additional insight into the movement patterns of the shoulder during wheelchair propulsion. The purposes of these studies were to quantify baseline kinematic variability of the shoulder during manual wheelchair propulsion, quantify the effects of multiple speeds on shoulder kinematic variability, and quantify the effects of an exercise intervention on shoulder kinematic variability. There is some evidence that temporal and spatial kinematic variability may provide additional insight into wheelchair propulsion biomechanics beyond that of traditional measures of kinematics. However, when extrapolating the results of these studies to studies previously reported, discrepancies arise and are very likely due to methodological differences. These issues are discussed and a protocol was developed to help contribute to the standardization of biomechanical testing for wheelchair propulsion.

▼ This dissertation explores the intersection between religious belief and public action among Protestant fundamentalists associated with the American Council of Christian Churches (ACCC) during the middle decades of the twentieth century. The central figure in this study is Bible Presbyterian minister Carl McIntire, who was one of the nation’s most prominent fundamentalist preachers during that period. He played a paramount role in organizing the ACCC in 1941 as a vehicle for Protestant fundamentalists to challenge public policies that privileged the theologically liberal Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America. During the Cold War, McIntire and other fundamentalists in the ACCC broadened their scope of public action as outspoken crusaders against Soviet communism. By the 1960s, many members of this group had aligned themselves with the emerging grassroots conservative movement and subsequently became cultural warriors in an attempt to arrest the nation’s moral decline amid the decade’s social upheavals.
As the principal spokesperson for the ACCC, McIntire articulated a messianic political theology of Christian Americanism that sanctified the nation’s political and cultural heritage. During the 1960s he attracted considerable attention for the right-wing jeremiads he delivered on his daily syndicated radio program. McIntire, together with his co-religionists, ultimately helped to polarize the nation’s religious landscape by disseminating a political theology that was anti-liberal and anti-statist. I argue that the ideology of Christian Americanism promoted by this fundamentalist group and its methods of grassroots protest provided the intellectual framework and models for public action that militant evangelicals adopted during the culture wars of the late twentieth century.

▼ Objective: To evaluate the relationship between transportation barriers to anticoagulation monitoring visits and the quality of anticoagulation control in an inner-city underserved population.
Methods: We conducted a cross sectional survey of patients treated with warfarin at the
University of
Illinois at
Chicago Hospital and Health Sciences System Antithrombosis Clinic, between September 2010 and February 2011. A 23-item survey was administered to participants to elicit responses to variables such as access to health care barriers, socio-economic characteristics, and opinions regarding anticoagulation patient-centered management models. Additional data on patient demographics, clinical characteristics and outcomes were extracted from the Electronic Health Record for a total follow-up period of 12 months prior to survey administration. Descriptive statistics were performed to characterize the sample stratified by transportation barriers. Chi-square, Fisher’s exact, student’s t-test, and Wilcoxon signed rank test, were used as appropriate to examine differences between covariates and the exposure variable. Multivariate linear regression analysis was used to determine the association between transportation barriers and quality of anticoagulation control, while adjusting for potential confounders.
Results: Patients with transportation barriers compared to patients without transportation barriers were older (57.89 + 17.37 vs. 51.24 + 16.55), more likely to be female (72.67% vs. 61.42%), more likely to be African American (64.67% vs. 58.27%) or Hispanic (24% vs. 18.11%), more likely to have their primary language other than English (14.67 vs. 7.20), more likely to have less than a 12th grade education (41.38% vs. 21.26%), more likely to have an annual income of < $15,000 (52.82% vs. 31.45%), less likely to have private insurance (8.67% vs. 38.58%), and more likely to be dependent on a caregiver (48.99% vs. 3.97%), all values significant (p<0.05). After adjusting for confounders, quality of anticoagulation control was lower in patients with transportation barriers than in those without transportation barriers (absolute difference 6.04%, p=0.009).
Summary: Our study is among the first to evaluate the relationship between transportation barriers and anticoagulation related clinical outcomes such as quality of anticoagulation control in a largely minority, underserved population. Understanding this relationship is especially important in underserved, minority patients who are at highest risk for anticoagulation related complications.

▼ A new engineering medium, called nanofluid, has attracted wide attention due to its relevance to many cooling processes in engineering applications. Nanofluids have been shown to possess unique thermal transport properties and superior performance that cannot be attained by traditional heat transfer fluids or conventional particle fluid suspensions. These novel materials show great promise as next-generation heat transfer fluids for innovative applications in many industrial fields.
A conventional ultrasonic bath was used in this work to examine the feasibility of forming aqueous suspensions of spherical gold nanoparticles (GNPs). The effects of ultrasonic energy on the size and morphology of GNPs were investigated. Gold nanofluids with highly monodispersed spherical GNPs were successfully synthesized by sodium citrate reduction in a conventional ultrasonic bath, without additional heating or magnetic stirring, as evidenced by ultraviolet–visible spectra and transmission electron microscopy. Ultrasonic energy was shown to be a key parameter for producing gold nanofluids with spherical GNPs of tunable sizes. A proposed scheme for understanding the role of ultrasonic energy in the formation and growth of GNPs has been discussed. The single-step method demonstrated in this study offers new opportunities in the production of aqueous suspensions of monodispersed spherical GNPs.
Centrifugation was also used with the two-step nanofluid production method in the present study. The research employed three different alumina nanofluids, each with different nanoparticle size, which can be produced from the same original nanoparticle dispersion by means of centrifugation without dispersants or surfactants. Measurements of thermal conductivity of alumina nanofluids were conducted over a broad range of temperatures from 10 to 80 °C. The experimental results were compared to the effective medium theory models and the calculated Brownian velocity. The experimental results show the size- and temperature-dependency of the thermal conductivity enhancement. Moreover, it is found that the temperature effect depends on the particle size. In other words, there is a coupling dependency between the nanoparticle size and temperature in heat conduction enhancement of alumina nanofluids. Finally, it is concluded that the Brownian velocity is the key factor responsible for the temperature- and size-dependency of the thermal conductivity of alumina nanofluids.

▼ This dissertation involves three studies that assess law enforcement related injuries and fatalities in the United States. The first study takes advantage of injury surveillance data collected by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to assess injuries and deaths caused by law enforcement. The second project is an analysis of two probabilistically linked administrative databases that included two medically treated patient groups who had either been injured or killed by law enforcement or by civilians in
Illinois. The third project is an analysis of the cause, severity, and workers’ compensation pay out among
Illinois law enforcement personnel.
The first study found that legal intervention fatality rates increased over time. Black men had much higher injury and fatality rates than other racial groups. American Indian/ Alaskan Natives were found to have much higher fatality rates than the national average. One recommendation is to create a national code of conduct manual for civilians that can be used as a directive for what to do when interacting with police officers.
The second study found that most civilian assaults occurred before the age of 35 but legal interventions continued to age 44. Legal intervention injuries had more severe outcomes such as longer hospital stays, higher severity scoring, and more comorbid and psychiatric conditions than in those injured by civilian assaults. Injuries caused by legal interventions may not be due to interactions between law enforcement and civilians during the arrest process.
The third study found that the causes of occupational injuries included assault, falls, motor vehicle accidents, and overexertion, among other causes. Extremities account for a high proportion of body parts affected by injury among officers. Additionally, correctional officers represented 45% of all disputed claims filed over the study period, and state police had a significantly higher proportion of officers who represented themselves. State police had some of the lowest compensation payouts and a much wider range of compensation. There lies a disparity in disputed claims among correctional officers that is not well understood, injury and fatality research on police should be assessed by department type, and safety recommendations should vary by department.

▼ The Local Blend is a novel that offers a carnivalesque close-up look at feederism through the marriage of Bill and Susan. Bill fetishizes Susan through the act of feeding, encouraging her to overeat until her weight reaches over 300 pounds. Through Susan’s point-of-view, the line between passivity and agency, pleasure and pain, is blurred. At times, Susan passively enjoys being the feedee; at others, she is physically tortured, allowing food intake beyond bodily comfort.
Much of the conflict additionally centers on Susan’s interactions with Maureen—a younger, newly hired waitress at Foster’s Diner—whose mere presence threatens to disturb the diner’s comforting atmosphere where Susan works as the head waitress. Both women mirror one another in unexpected ways. As Susan faces unexpected motherhood at age 46 and negotiates ideas of nurturing and being nurtured, Maureen grieves over a molar pregnancy in which a cyst forms instead of an actual fetus. The narrative alternates between the perspectives of these characters, while the vignettes follow Bill in his quest to control Susan. Though the viewpoints are distinct, there is a sense of interconnectedness between the characters, especially as their individual concerns overlap.
Ultimately, The Local Blend confronts prevailing structures of the “fat” female protagonist by resisting conventional plotlines that rely on stereotypes which further label the obese woman as diseased, disabled, food-obsessed, self-indulgent, and out of control. Keeping in mind Susan Bordo’s observations that cooking and feeding have become enmeshed in the societal constructions of the ideal mother, this story reflects on the ways feederism, as a practice, challenges prescribed notions about women and food.

▼ The Surveyor’s Perspective is a collection of lyric poetry informed by the professional act of surveying an altering landscape, specifically one in the process of becoming less rural and more developed. Some of my poems question how tools such as language and a camera can be used to determine if a ruined farmhouse or its support structure contributes to the cultural heritage of a place. I reveal the pathos in what is intended to be an objective perspective by prolonging what’s fleeting in the landscape, emphasizing the poetic imagination’s ability to frame these phenomena in time. My emphasis on the imagination leads to the prevalence of similes and metaphors in poems that argue that perspective is necessarily subjective: in contrast to a single, final perspective, my speakers have parameters, or limitations, to their perspectives. In turn, they attempt to get into the sensibility of the human or animal other by overlapping their own perspectives with outside knowledge—whether historical, scientific, or even imagined. The parameters to my speakers’ perspectives are also evident in poems that home in on visual objects—already existing representations in everyday photographs or, in more explicitly ekphrastic poems, masterful works of art. But instead of only reading the visual, my speakers attempt to expand the compression of a painting, for example, by considering the processes of construction or imagining the psychology of the artist. In The Surveyor’s Perspective, I’m not only drawing attention to the distinction between natural and artificial—i.e. the synecdochic ruin that may or may not be an objet d’art—but also the time and distance between a viewer and the artistic process. I overlap my speakers’ perspectives with what someone or something else thought or did in order to make an argument that perspective is both supported with detail and contextually grounded.

▼ In this paper, I introduce the importance of interprofessional education and the need to establish effective interprofessional curricula at institutions educating healthcare professional students. This is followed by the evidence that while national and international organizations recommend interprofessional education, change at the local level can be difficult. For this reason, using Kern’s framework for curriculum development (1), we undertook a needs assessment to understand better our own local context as a preliminary step for curriculum design and implementation. Using qualitative methods, we identified predisposing, enabling and reinforcing factors important to recognize and to address in order to achieve our goal of institutionalizing an effective interprofessional curriculum. In the discussion, I suggest that these factors might most effectively be addressed using a framework for change, such as the eight steps proposed by Kotter.

▼ Histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3) is a promising epigenetic drug target for multiple therapeutic applications. Direct and specific interaction between HDAC3 and the silencing mediator for retinoid or thyroid-hormone receptors (SMRT) is essential for enzymatic activity. The conformational plasticity of this complex and the nature of interactions with HDAC inhibitors in solution are unknown. Using novel photoreactive HDAC probes – “nanorulers”, we determined the distance between the catalytic site of the full-length HDAC3 and SMRT-DAD in solution at physiologically relevant conditions and found it to be substantially different from that predicted by the X-ray model with a 379-428aa truncated HDAC3. Further experiments indicated that in solution this distance might change in response to chemical stimuli, while the enzymatic activity remained unaffected. These observations were further validated by Saturation Transfer Difference (STD) NMR experiments. We propose that the observed changes in the distance are an important part of the histone code that remains to be explored. Mapping direct interactions and distances between macromolecules with such “nanorulers” as a function of cellular events facilitates better understanding of basic biology and ways for its manipulation in cell and tissue specific manner.

▼ New graduate nurse (NGN) burnout (poor engagement) leads to 33% annual turnover, costing organizations 82,000 to 88,000 per nurse. Nurse burnout is also correlated with adverse patient events, contributing to 440,000 deaths per year (the third leading cause of death in the United States). Kramer proposes a process of NGN engagement and burnout in her theory of new nurse socialization, but the theory has limited empirical testing or support. The purpose of the preliminary study was to provide empirical support for Kramer’s theory of new nurse socialization, specifically the existence of NGNs’ values mismatch (relationship between amount of leader empowering behaviors (LEBs) and level of organizational commitment) and phases of socialization (change in the amount of role satisfaction), with a secondary data analysis approach. This study did not support Kramer’s proposition that values mismatch leads to low NGN role satisfaction and the existence of three distinct phases of socialization.
In the second study, a new model for NGN engagement is proposed by incorporating propositions from Kramer’s theory with others from Kanter’s Theory of Structural Empowerment, Bandura’s self-efficacy work, and Newman’s Attitude-Engagement Model. Aims of this second study were to examine (a) the effects of personal characteristics (presence of previous healthcare work experience and type of degree completed) and organizational characteristics (amount of LEBs, magnet status, and size of hospital) on self-efficacy (level of self-efficacy), (b) the relationships among self-efficacy (level of self-efficacy), personal goal attainment (level of perceived skill mastery), and affective engagement (level of job satisfaction, amount of affective organizational commitment, and level of job involvement), and (c) the effects of affective engagement (level of job satisfaction, amount of affective organizational commitment, and level of job involvement) and self-efficacy (level of self-efficacy) on behavioral engagement (retention). A secondary data analysis was again completed. Results provide preliminary support the proposed model.

▼ The number of Korean-Americans (KA) and the prevalence of obesity among them are increasing, but little is known about obesity among KA preschoolers. This doctoral dissertation was conducted to explore KA family context regarding child’s overweight and to examine family factors relate to overweight among KA preschool-age children.
In the first study, focus group interviews with 15 mothers were conducted. A semi-structured focus group guide was used to capture KA mothers’ experience in bringing up children in the U.S., their perspectives about childhood obesity, and their children’s dietary habits and physical activities. KA mothers tried to retain Korean culture and fulfill high expectation of mother’s role without the supports they would have in Korea. KA mothers prefer plumpness in children and are not concerned about obesity among KA children because they believe their efforts in shaping healthy environment are protective.
In the second study, a cross-sectional study was conducted with 104 KA preschoolers and their mothers in the
Chicago metropolitan area. Twenty-two percent of the KA preschoolers were overweight or obese (BMI ≥85th percentile), and family factors explained 30% of the variance in child’s overweight. The number of children in the family and perceived child weight was positively associated with overweight, while pressure to eat, monitoring of eating, and behavior control of children were negatively associated with overweight.
Taken together, this dissertation research shows that overweight among KA preschool-age children is a substantial problem in KA communities. However, most KA mothers had a lack of awareness about overweight among their children. Therefore, more efforts are needed to increase mothers’ attention to overweight prevention and control among their KA preschool-age children. Future studies should examine the influence of siblings and the child’s routines during their stay in formal care settings as factors contributing to child overweight, and longitudinal studies are needed to examine causal relationships.
These study results will contribute to the development of culturally appropriate intervention programs for reducing overweight among KA preschoolers. Interventions should include enhancing supports for KA mothers, including utilizing available support though social networks such as KA churches.

▼ Background: The purpose of this study was to observe and quantify the effect of aging and the long-term practice of Tai Chi on movement control, indicated by both performance-outcome (temporal) and performance-production (amplitude) measures, on a multi-planar stand-reaching (i.e. functional) task. We hypothesized that younger controls and older Tai Chi practitioners would perform better than healthy, older non-practitioners. Methods: Thirty-five healthy adults participated in this cross-sectional study (12 Tai Chi practitioners, 11 age-matched older non-practitioners and 12 young controls). Subjects performed flexion- and abduction-reaching tasks guided by a preparatory cue, which was followed by a second cue to initiate movement to touch the target as quickly and as accurately as possible. Wireless sensors were used to collect surface EMG and acceleration data to render performance-outcome (reaction time, burst duration, time-to-peak and movement time) and performance-production (normalized EMG amplitude and peak acceleration) measures. Results: Young subjects and Tai Chi practitioners manifested significantly faster reaction times, shorter burst durations, shorter times to peak and overall quicker movement time, with correspondingly greater normalized EMG amplitudes and larger peak accelerations, as compared to older adults (p < 0.001 and p < 0.05, respectively, for all variables). Relative effect computations (i.e. effect of Tai Chi expressed as a percentage of the effect of aging) showed that age-matched Tai Chi practitioners exhibited approximately 20–60% (flexion), and 20–100% (abduction) improvement in reaching task performance. Conclusion: Tai Chi practitioners displayed better movement control than non-practicing individuals on a relatively challenging and comparatively more functional stand-reaching task.

▼ Extensive studies have been conducted on botanicals for the presence of estrogenic molecules, unfortunately, very little has ever been done to identify plant-based progestins. This underexplored area is troubling especially since there is a body of scientific evidence supporting the presence of progesterone receptor (PR) modulators in plant material that may affect endocrine function. The goal of this dissertation was to identify and characterize natural progesterone (P4)-like compounds from botanical extracts for the improvement of women’s health. Red clover, hops, angelica, black cohosh, kudzu, dogwood, and chaste-tree berry were investigated for their ability to interact with purified PR, to activate PRE-luciferase transcription in human breast cancer cells, and for tissue specific regulation of P4 inducible genes. Kaempferol was identified as having P4-like activity and may function in a cell-specific manner. In vivo studies revealed that kaempferol exhibited P4-like effects in ovariectomized Sprague-Dawley rat model. Since genistein is a phytoestrogen that previously demonstrated to increase uterine weight and proliferation, the ability of kaempferol to block genistein action in the uterus was investigated. Analyses of proliferation, steroid receptor expression, and induction of well-established PR-regulated targets Areg and Hand2 were completed. In addition, kaempferol in silico binding analysis was completed for PR, as was the activation of ER and AR signaling in vitro in order to determine receptor specificity. The data from this dissertation suggest that kaempferol interacts with PR, activates the receptor without stimulating its degradation, induces known PR target genes in vitro and in vivo and blocked genistein-induced proliferation in the luminal epithelial cells in Sprague-Dawley rat uteri. The toxicity of hops extracts in cell-based assays precluded further investigation in vitro, but an initial bioassay screen suggested that natural progestins can be identified from hops extracts. Further chemical and biological analyses are warranted to identify and characterize progestins from hops. The comprehensive framework outlined in this thesis will provide a promising avenue for the identification of potentially better and safer compounds capable of activating PR signaling from botanical extracts used for women's health.

▼ Many challenging diseases in medicine today are multifaceted. Type 2 diabetes affects multiple components within the body. Within each system there are multiple points of failure, and any given treatment may not affect all system components equally. Researchers are often not sure which components are sensitive to change and group these components into composite outcomes, because there is a lack of statistical methodology that can address multiple outcomes that produces inferences that are easy to interpret.
In this dissertation, two modeling approaches—a parametric conditional model and a random effects proportional hazards model—are utilized for the analysis of multiple types of events, possibly recurrent, from the Veterans Affairs Diabetes Trial, a trial of type 2 diabetic patients randomized to intensive or standard glycemic control. The primary outcome of the study was time-to-first of any one of nine macrovascular events. Both methods strive to minimize information loss due to discarding data and to control the computational complexity involved in handling multiple repeated events.
In the first modeling approach, a parametric conditional model is used to model three distinct types of events: myocardial infarction (MI), congestive heart failure (CHF), and cardiovascular death (CV-death). Only the time-to-first-event of each of the three event types was used in the conditional model. The results did not show a significant treatment effect but did demonstrate a positive dependence of time-to-CV-death on time-to-CHF-event.
In the second modeling approach, a three-level hierarchical proportional-hazards model was developed and applied to all eight recorded primary events. Analyzed in the presence of covariates, no treatment effect was found in any of the types of events. One covariate, prior CV-event was found significant in all types of events, baseline insulin was significant in predicting CHF and invasive revascularization (IR).
In conclusion, different modeling approaches are used to analyze the VADT data to examine if there might be a treatment effect that went undetected in the initial analysis due to discarding information about recurrent events. However, even when analyzing all available data, no treatment effect was found.

▼ Using frameworks of class, race, and gender, this dissertation contends that the mother-employer/nanny dyad is unique in the ways in which it brings together women who often differ by virtue of class and race, which thereby offers an opportunity to both women to become invested in one another in ways that may be absent in other female-female partnerships. As a result of shared vulnerability, bilateral concern for the child(ren) involved, and mutual benefit gained from establishing a positive work environment, this relationship, may prove to be a model for alliance building. I argue that a key component to establishing this type of relationship is the development of empathy and the conversion of empathy into prosocial behavior. Via the explication of seven novels (i.e., Men and Angels by Mary Gordon and A Gate at the Stairs by Lorrie Moore in chapter one; Lucy by Jamaica Kincaid, The Love Wife by Gish Jen, and The Help by Kathryn Stockett in chapter two; and My Hollywood by Mona Simpson and All the Finest Girls by Alexandra Styron in chapter three), which have all been written by U.S. women after 1985, this dissertation troubles the ways that empathy is created by authors, produced in readers, and may be the basis of prosocial behavior. I contend that novels may provide safe terrain for the exploration of ambivalence that may be present in both mother-employer and nanny and that, by applying the skills acquired in this exercise, more beneficial relationships may result. Motifs of class, race, false empathy, outsider-within status, power, liminality, female identity development, and ways of mothering are all examined at length.

▼ This study examines intergroup relations in a new immigrant gateway, post white to Latino succession. Specifically, I explore how neighborhood succession engenders intergroup tensions in political, religious, and cultural dimensions of community life. I pay particular attention to how whites residents react to changes associated with neighborhood succession and how Latino residents respond and navigate these reactions. A core theme in this dissertation revolves around the concept of group threat, whereby white residents perceive the growing numbers of Latinos as a threat to social privilege and well-being within the spheres of neighborhood politics, religious institutions, and community cultural events. In doing so, I uncover how white/Latino relations are shaped by local contexts and social structures that facilitate or impede newcomers’ integration into neighborhood life.

▼ In the field of occupational therapy, few studies have examined clients' experiences of rehabilitation from the perspectives of occupational participation and therapeutic communication (i.e., use of self). This dissertation explored these important aspects of therapy utilizing Kielhofner's (2008) Model of Human Occupation and Taylor's (2008) Intentional Relationship Model. The overarching purpose of this dissertation is two-fold. Firstly, it applies Rasch Analysis to examine the psychometric properties of two theory-based assessments- the Model of Human Occupation Screening Tool (MOHOST) and the Clinical Assessment of Modes (CAM). Secondly, this dissertation provides insight into the occupational and interpersonal characteristics of occupational therapy clients using these two assessments.
Study I
Methods
Clinical information including the MOHOST, Health of Nation Outcome Scales (HoNOS) and Historical, Clinical, Risk-Management – 20 (HCR-20) were collected on 489 patients in low and medium secure units across six trusts in England. Seventy-eight occupational therapists participated in this study. The independent t-test and correlation analysis were employed to examine relationships between risk factors, symptom profiles, and occupational participation. The regression analysis was used to examine clients’ occupational participation changes over time.
Results & Conclusions
Clients in low security settings had higher occupational participation than clients in medium secure settings. Clients’ current risk factors and some items in HoNOS were associated with their participation. Findings in this study also indicated improvements in clients' occupational participation over time during the 2-year follow-up. These results can be used to inform occupational therapy pathways and protocols. Findings also confirmed that the MOHOST is a valid and reliable assessment for a forensic population.
Study II
Methods
The CAM was administered to 110 neurological and orthopedic clients who were receiving rehabilitation services at the
University of
Illinois at
Chicago Hospital and Health Care System (UICHHS). Thirty-eight therapists and students (including OT, PT and ST) participated in this study. Rasch analysis was used to examine the appropriateness of the rating scales and unidimensionality of the six modes in CAM. The internal consistency, targeting appropriateness and inter-rater reliability were analyzed as well.
Results & Conclusions
The Rasch analysis confirmed the item set in six modes meet the criteria of unidimensionality. The four version of CAM exhibited satisfactory construct validity and internal consistency. The CAM observational version demonstrated strong inter-rater reliability. Additionally, the CAM showed that clients and therapists differed in their perceptions on therapeutic communication modes.
Findings from this study indicated that all four versions of the Clinical Assessment of Modes, a client and therapist self-report and observational measure derived from the Intentional Relationship Model,…

▼ This dissertation explores the significance of social networks of academic science, technology, engineering and mathematic (STEM) faculty in determining their amount of self-perceived influence in organizational decision making. Particular focus is placed on understanding how self-perceived influence varies between underrepresented minority (URM) and non-URM STEM faculty. This dissertation is motivated by several factors. First, there is the prevalent marginalization experienced by URM STEM faculty, which lessens the likelihood of them having a role in key organizational decision making. Second. while there is evidence suggesting that social relationships help URM STEM faculty succeed in academic organizations, less is known about the composition of their networks (i.e. structure, relationships, and etc.) and the impact that network composition has on their experiences in the organization. Furthermore, while URM STEM faculty have frequently recounted their experiences in academia in the context of how they are perceived by others in their environment, less is known about how URM STEM faculty perceive their own positions. Lastly, while research has addressed the relationship between networks and how they shape the perceived influence of people (as conceived by others) in decision making, less research has addressed how networks impact individual’s self-perceived influence in organizational decision making—especially in the academic STEM environment. Thus, the proposed dissertation seeks to fill gaps in literature by linking the structure of social networks of URM STEM faculty to how they impact URM’s self-perceived influence in organizational decision making. Primary research questions are: 1) Does network structure significantly explain the level of self-perceived influence held by academic science faculty in organizational decision making?; 2) Are there differences in the level of self-perceived influence held by URM academic science faculty versus non-URM academic science faculty; and 3) do URM and non-URM social networks explain self-perceived influence in the same way?. These questions are addressed by using structural equation modeling to understand the direct and indirect effects of race and network variables on self-perceived influence. Data from a national online survey of academic scientists is used for the analysis.

▼ To maintain cardiovascular homeostasis, the heart adapts to circulatory needs and/or stress in a greatly malleable process involving specific regulatory mechanisms. Troponin plays a crucial role in such regulation, by acting as the protein on-off switch of the cardiac muscle contractile apparatus. Within troponin, troponin I (TnI) is considered to be the critical troponin subunit for switching off the heart in the absence of Ca2+, in significant part via the action of a small portion of TnI termed the inhibitory peptide region. This thesis examines the role of the inhibitory region of TnI in cardiac muscle regulation, as well as the effects of the inhibitory region on overall troponin dynamics both locally and at a distance.
The first part of this thesis explains how troponin's inhibitory effects have previously been shown to be mimicked by this 12-residue TnI peptide, termed the inhibitory peptide. Mutagenesis of this segment within the whole troponin context can be used to investigate how the inhibitory peptide region alters the thin filament to affect or effect regulation. Accordingly, we describe the functional properties of troponins containing mutations within the inhibitory peptide sequence. Smaller or larger portions were replaced with Gly-Ala linkers. The results show that the mutations impaired Ca2+-mediated regulation of both ATPase rates and myosin binding to the thin filament. The regulatory impairment was considerable, supporting an important role for the inhibitory peptide region. On the other hand, even for thin filaments with complete replacement of the inhibitory peptide region, Ca2+ addition caused a cooperative increase in myosin-thin filament ATPase activity. This points to the co-importance of other parts of troponin as mediators of inhibition and activation generally, and of cooperative regulation specifically. The relationship of these findings to the overall regulatory mechanism is discussed.
In the second part of the thesis, we use hydrogen deuterium exchange coupled with mass spectrometry (HDX-MS) to study the dynamic properties of troponin composed of cTnT, cTnI with the complete inhibitory region replaced with a flexible linker and cTnC with mutational inactivation of site II Ca2+ binding. Additionally, we study the dynamics of a troponin complex similar to the one above but with wild type TnC instead. This allowed the determination of the effects of the inhibitory region on troponin dynamics both in the presence and absence of Ca2+. HDX allows for the mapping, in detail, quantitatively, of the dynamic properties of each part of cardiac troponin. H-D exchange rates in folded proteins tend to track with local folding instability. Therefore, measurements of local rates of exchange across a protein provide quantitative dynamic information on various distinct regions of that protein. We propose that, in the absence of Ca2+ bound to regulatory site II of TnC, the Ip region has unexpected importance for stabilizing intra-troponin interactions relatively distant from the Ip region itself.…

▼ Physical activity (PA) and smoking are inversely related, and PA is being incorporated as an adjunctive component to cessation interventions in younger populations. This study sought to better understand the effects of PA on smoking level as well as another target of cessation, smoking urges, in a sample of young adults enriched for past smoking. This study further examined the degree to which PA might function to reduce the association between mood and smoking outcomes. Participants were 190 ethnically diverse young adults (53.7% female; 91.1% current smokers) who completed an ecological momentary assessment week, during which they were prompted to answer questions about their mood (i.e., positive affect - PosA and negative affect- NegA) and smoking urges as well as event-recorded smoking episodes. They then completed a 7-day PA recall interview to obtain an assessment of five PA measures: caloric energy expenditure, non-work-related PA (NWPA), work-related PA (WPA), moderate PA, and vigorous PA. Between-subjects (BS) effects were the average of PA and mood reports. Within-subjects (WS) effects represented subjects’ daily deviations from their weekly mean. Mixed-effects regression models, controlling for body mass index and gender (when not a moderator), examined two questions: 1. Does PA predict smoking level and urges? 2. Does PA reduce the effect of mood on smoking outcomes? Results revealed that effects of PA on smoking varied by type of PA, whether associations were BS or WS, and gender. Results also showed that higher BS NWPA, BS moderate PA, and BS vigorous PA each reduced the link between low BS PosA and higher urges; however, the effect of vigorous PA was only present for males. Higher WS WPA enhanced the link between both low WS PosA and high WS NegA and higher urges. Finally, for females, higher BS moderate PA enhanced the association between mood and smoking level, such that higher BS NegA predicted lower smoking among more active females. Findings suggest gender and context-specific differences in associations between PA, smoking, and mood. Results are discussed in terms of the theoretical and clinical implications for the use of PA for smoking reduction and cessation in young adults.

▼ This exploratory study of gender and racial differences in risk and protective factors and the recidivism of youth on probation in Cook County,
Illinois was conducted using secondary data analysis. Information was collected by probation officers and clinicians using the Youth Assessment Screening Instrument (YASI) on 5,831 girls and boys ages 12 to 17 comprising demographics, risk and protective factor characteristics and unique identifiers (names, birthdates and IDs). Associations between race, gender, risk and protection, and recidivism were examined. This dissertation project involved the linkage of administrative probation information available from the Cook County Juvenile Probation Department to court records from the Office of the Chief Judge. The creation of this unique dataset and the resulting dissertation indicated that girls experienced more risk factors than boys while boys experienced more protective factors than girls. Many of the risk factors for girls and boys were consistent with previous research. Unlike girls, boys had significant findings across most racial/ethnic groups and across recidivism. Seven percent of the sample recidivated including a higher number of boys than girls (7.5% and 3.2%, respectively). One significant risk factor for boys for recidivism was age at first offense. The significant protective factors for boys that didn’t recidivate were appropriate parental discipline and being close to prosocial peers. Separate multivariate analyses for boys and girls could not be conducted due to the small sample of girls that recidivated. Intensive family focused mental health and substance abuse treatment would be useful to address some of the family issues that girls experience. Social workers have an important role as providers but also as advocates to lobby legislators for increased funding to support innovative treatment services. Future knowledge concerning recidivism of youth, their risk and protective factors associated with their probation status, with practical implications relating to the identification of specific factors that may directly influence desistance, the targeting of appropriate services and the future prevention of delinquent behavior of girls is needed.

▼ Previous research suggests that racial disparities and intra-racial differences by nativity status in breastfeeding behaviors might be explained by differences in a combination of attitudes, subjective norms, and perceptions of behavioral control. However, little is known about the extent to which behavioral differences in breastfeeding by nativity status among Black women are explained by differences in attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control, particularly at the population level. Utilizing the Theory of Planned Behavior, this dissertation research explored the role of race/ethnicity and nativity status in breastfeeding initiation and duration using quantitative and qualitative methods. The quantitative investigation examined the role of one subjective norm, breastfeeding discouragement and its sources, to understand underlying racial and intra-racial differences by nativity status in breastfeeding disparities using a sample of women from the Pregnancy Assessment and Monitoring System (PRAMS). Using semi-structured individual interviews, the qualitative study explored the attitudes, norms, and behavioral control perceptions with respect to breastfeeding of 20 middle-class, immigrant and US-born Black mothers in Ohio.
Quantitative findings showed that breastfeeding discouragement was not associated with never breastfeeding or breastfeeding discontinuation by four weeks and 10 weeks among all mothers in Ohio. Additionally, the relationship between breastfeeding discouragement and breastfeeding behaviors was not moderated by race or nativity, nor did breastfeeding discouragement account for racial differences or nativity differences between Black mothers in breastfeeding behaviors. Breastfeeding discouragement from health providers was associated with a higher prevalence of never breastfeeding among mothers who reported breastfeeding discouragement. Qualitative findings also revealed that most mothers encountered unsupportive breastfeeding comments, ranging from very subtle to quite obvious suggestions against breastfeeding, yet all participants had initiated or expressed breast milk to their infants. These unsupportive comments led many participants to begin formula supplementation. Public health practice and policy implications, along with directions for future research, are presented.
This study demonstrates that more research is needed to understand the sources of breastfeeding disparities in the United States, particularly the lower rates of breastfeeding among Black women. Study findings also demonstrate a need for intervention in health care settings and workplaces to increase breastfeeding rates.

▼ Adult mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can be differentiated towards tissue-forming cells and are used to recreate tissues in vitro. Yet, considerable challenges remain before the clinical goals of stem cell-based tissue engineering (TE) constructs can be achieved. One challenge is the design of scaffold materials that are able to keep stem cells in their undifferentiated functional phenotype and promote differentiation only after induction. We evaluated the utility of poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA) superporous hydrogel (SPH) scaffolds for stem cell delivery in TE applications. Generally, flat PEGDA surfaces do not promote protein adsorption and are thought to be devoid of cell-matrix interactions. We observed a different scenario in the SPHs and showed for the first time that unmodified PEGDA SPHs can provide a microenvironment that enables stem cell-derived extracellular matrix (ECM) development and thus promotes stem cell survival. We further showed evidence of multilineage differentiation of hMSCs towards adipogenic, chondrogenic, endothelial and osteogenic lineages within PEGDA SPHs. No autodifferentiation was observed within uninduced control groups. We conclude that architecture and the physicochemical characteristics— interconnected pores ranging from 100 to 600 µm— of the scaffold hold properties that impact stem cell behavior. An appealing strategy to overcome insufficient oxygen and nutrient supply within the core of the implants is to create microvascular structures within the engineered scaffold itself. We showed that hMSCs gain some phenotypic and functional features of vessel-forming endothelial cells on matrigel and within collagen-filled SPHs. Another challenge in stem cell-based TE is the identification of reliable stem cell differentiation markers. Our observations within the SPHs indicated a discrepancy between mineralization and gene expression data. Thus, we evaluated putative adipogenic and osteogenic marker genes for their specificity towards the respective lineage. Adipogenic gene markers were significantly upregulated in hMSCs that underwent the adipogenic induction program but all osteogenic marker genes tested were also expressed in adipocyte-derived hMSCs. With alkaline phosphatase and osteopontin in particular being upregulated during adipogenic differentiation. In this dissertation, we identified a suitable scaffold for stem cell delivery, showed the potential of hMSCs in vascularization approaches, and demonstrated the need for more specific differentiation markers.

▼ System xc- is a membrane-bound transporter that exchanges one glutamate for intake of a cystine molecule. It is thought to be important in regulating extracellular glutamate levels, postsynaptic receptor abundance/tone and synaptic plasticity. All three of these things should contribute to how an animal behaves, and therefore loss of this transporter should have drastic effects of behavior. Specifically we studied motor behaviors using a rotarod task and open field maze and learning behaviors using a three-arm and four-arm spontaneous alternation task. We tested behavior across three different genotypes of system xc- knockout and in both males and females. We showed that sut mice have altered spontaneous alternation ability in both three and four-arm spontaneous alternation tasks and reduced movement in the open field maze, but xCT and xCT/sut strains do not have impairments in these tasks compared to their backgrounds. We also found that all three strains were complete protein level knockouts of the xCT protein and that sut and xCT/sut mice did not have reduced glutamate levels in the striatum and cerebellum compared to their backgrounds. Therefore it appears that if there is a relationship between loss of system xc- and behavior, it is very subtle. There may also be other mechanisms that relate to compensation in glutamate levels in sut mice.

▼ This dissertation presents artists’ personae as a trajectory of contemporary art, while conceptualizing persona as an unstable yet productive site that can reveal the complicated relations among performance, representation, and perception of artists and their artworks. By combining theories of performance, celebrity, dramaturgy and postcolonial theory, I specifically analyze the image of three Japanese artists who have gained exceptional visibility in the mainstream Western art world since the 1950s: Yayoi Kusama (b. 1929), Yoko Ono (b. 1933), and Mariko Mori (b. 1967). I argue that it has been their media images and their identities as Japanese women that have determined the reception of their artworks while the artists have also strategically played with the Western audience’s cultural, racial, and gendered stereotypes and fantasies about Japan and East Asian women. Chapter 1 discusses the critical and practical importance in contemporary culture of artists’ media images and personae formations by tracing the modern phenomenon of art stars to Jackson Pollock and Andy Warhol in postwar New York. Chapter 2 examines Yayoi Kusama’s effort at persona creation in New York in the 1960s and argues that her kimono-clad public performances were not merely crude mongering acts but a survival tactic and satirical parody of Orientalist stereotypes about kimonoed Japanese women. The kimono fetish had become prominent in American culture during the Cold War. Chapter 3 traces the history of the Dragon Lady stereotype and reveals how Yoko Ono since the 1960s has embraced prejudice as a source of her work and how her assertive performances have contributed to the transformation of the originally negative stereotypical role of Dragon Lady into contemporary model of female power. Chapter 4 explores the relationship between Mariko Mori’s Made in Japan series and the rise of Japanese soft power in the 1990s by explicating Japanese mass cultural aesthetics of kawaii (“cute”) and Japanimation in Mori’s art and persona. It also demonstrates how the genealogy of contemporary Japanese art stars represented—in the order of ascendance—by Yasumasa Morimura (b. 1951), Mori, and Takashi Murakami (b. 1962) parallels the shift of the image of Japan from a techno-power dystopia to cute and then to cool dreamland of commodity culture. Chapter 5 emphasizes the roles of celebrity, branding, and mass media in the current art world system, and considers the cases of Nikki S. Lee, Banksy, and Marina Abramović.
