Authors: Hao Shuang
Published: February 2023

ABSTRACT Introduction: Between the existing fast movement ability training program and the real situation of the athletes, there is a discrepancy, which needs to be solved. Objective: Study the effects of lower limb strength training on fast movement ability in table tennis. Methods: A total of 40 volunteers were recruited and divided into the experimental and control groups, with 20 people in each group. The control group followed the traditional table tennis fast-movement training program. In contrast, the experimental group added lower limb strength training based on the traditional table tennis fast movement training program. The experimental and control groups conducted training experiments twice a week, one hour at a time, for a total of 8 weeks. Results: In the specific fast movement fitness test, the number of upper stages before training in the experimental group was 55.91, and after training was 61.25 (P<0.01). In the whole platform turning speed test, the number in the experimental group before training was 61.40, and after training was 64.28 (P<0.01). Conclusion: Fitness in the rapid movement ability of table tennis players was optimized after the addition of the lower limb strength training program.

RESUMO O estudo analisou o perfil de atuação dos fisioterapeutas do Rio de Janeiro (RJ) e do Rio Grande do Sul (RS) no manejo da pessoa com doença de Alzheimer (DA). Foram obtidas 256 respostas a um questionário enviado via endereço eletrônico dos Conselhos Regionais de Fisioterapia e Terapia Ocupacional das regiões 2 (RJ) e 5 (RS) - CREFITOS 2 e 5 -, entre março e dezembro de 2020. O questionário tinha 36 perguntas fechadas, cujas variáveis foram agrupadas em: (1) caracterização da amostra; (2) dados específicos sobre a profissão de fisioterapeuta; e (3) questões relacionadas à DA. Neste artigo serão analisadas apenas as questões relacionadas à DA. Todas as questões eram de múltipla escolha, com 2 até 15 opções de resposta. A maioria dos respondentes (88,3%) já atendeu paciente com DA, mas 50,8% fariam uma revisão de literatura para atender novamente esses pacientes. O principal objetivo relatado no manejo do indivíduo com DA foi “retardar a progressão das perdas motoras”. As condutas foram significativamente diferentes conforme a fase da doença (p<0,001). Mais de 85% citaram como benefício que a fisioterapia “retarda a dependência física”. Este estudo deixa evidente a necessidade de mais pesquisas que abordem especificamente as fases intermediária e avançada da DA, pois, até o momento, a literatura se mostra inconclusiva e com pouca evidência em relação à fisioterapia no manejo dessas pessoas, impossibilitando a criação de manuais e/ou padronização de condutas específicas a cada estágio da doença.

RESUMO A crescente demanda por atendimento nos serviços de reabilitação física do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) excede a oferta, o que resulta em longas filas de espera. Neste estudo, realizou-se uma pesquisa quantitativa de cunho exploratório que teve por objetivo a apresentação de indicadores para facilitar o acesso aos serviços de reabilitação física no que tange às desordens musculoesqueléticas. Os dados foram colhidos dos prontuários de usuários residentes nas regiões noroeste e oeste de Belo Horizonte (MG), com mais de 18 anos de idade, submetidos a acolhimento no Centro Especializado em Reabilitação IV no ano de 2019. Obtiveram-se os seguintes indicadores: absenteísmo no momento da avaliação; tempo médio para início do tratamento de acordo com a prioridade; tempo médio de tratamento; e média de usuários atendidos ao mês. A análise deste estudo foi pautada em 362 prontuários. O tempo médio para início de tratamento foi de aproximadamente 69 dias e o período médio de tratamento, de 94 dias. O serviço absorveu cerca de 30 novos usuários ao mês e apresentou índice de absenteísmo de 16,8%. Acredita-se que os indicadores apresentados possivelmente favorecerão a gestão e o controle das filas de espera dos serviços de reabilitação do SUS.

Published: February 2023

ABSTRACT This study aimed to compare the speedy and content-balanced versions of the Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory - Computer Adaptive Test (PEDI-CAT) in its four domains. A cross-sectional observational study was conducted with children with cerebral palsy (CP). The two versions of PEDI-CAT were administered to each child with a 7-days interval, remotely, in interview format with caregivers. Pearson’s correlation was used to evaluate the association among scaled scores in the two versions of PEDI-CAT. In total, 11 children with CP, aged 2 to 12 years, participated in the study. A strong significant association between mean values of the scaled score of the speedy and content-balanced versions in all domains (p<0.0001) was observed. Two children (18.2%) were classified differently regarding normative standard score in the Social/Cognitive domain. Both versions of PEDI-CAT showed concordant results in relation to the scaled score when applied to children with CP. However, one must cautiously interpret the normative standard score depending on the version used in the Social/Cognitive domain.
Selection of running shoes by amateur runners: characterization and association with the self-reported history of injury
Authors: Andrade Rodrigo Éberte , Santos Thiago Ribeiro Teles
Published: February 2023

ABSTRACT Running shoes are an essential element for sports practice. Evidence on the effect of the shoe characteristics and prescription in running injuries are scarce. Thus, this study aimed to investigate runners's process of choosing running shoes and to verify whether the variables related to running shoes and their selection process are associated with the presence and recurrence of injuries in the previous year. An observational study was conducted with 254 runners who answered a self-reported questionnaire about demographics, sports practice, shoe characteristics and selection criteria, and injuries in the last 12 months. The chi-square test evaluated whether there was a difference in the distribution of answers to each question. The logistic regression evaluated whether the variables related to shoes and selection criteria predicted injury’s presence and recurrence in the previous year. The results showed that most runners had specific shoes for sports practice and considered some characteristics of the shoes to choose them, including intermediate cushioning and a difference in the heel-to-toe drop of approximately 10mm. Most respondents indicated knowing their foot type but not considering it when choosing shoes. Besides, most individuals did not use foot orthotics and did not receive guidance to select their shoes. The model obtained with the regression was not significant. Therefore, despite considering shoe characteristics when choosing it, these features and the selection criteria were not associated with the presence and recurrence of injuries in the previous 12 months.

A significant range extension of the unbanded shovel-nosed snake (Brachyurophis incinctus Storr, 1968) in the Einasleigh Uplands
Authors: Schembri Brendan , Jolly Christopher J.
Published: February 2023

Until now there have been two species of burrowing elapid from the genus Brachyurophis known to occur in the Einasleigh Uplands Bioregion of northeastern Queensland, the Australian coral snake (Brachyurophis australis Krefft, 1864) and the north-eastern (or Campbell’s) shovel-nosed snake (Brachyurophis campbelli Kinghorn, 1929). Here we report a third species from the region, the unbanded shovel-nosed snake (Brachyurophis incinctus Storr, 1968). This is significant because it is the most north-easterly known occurrence of this species in Australia, adds to the known biodiversity of the region and extends the species’ known range by more than 400km to the northeast.

Published: February 2023

The in situ δ-phase formation for a series of yttrium-doped Bi2O3 materials was studied by Raman spectroscopy and high resolution X-ray diffraction under variable temperature conditions. Contrary to previous reports, for dopant concentrations less than 25%, the cubic ô-phase was not fully stabilized at room temperature - tetragonal phase content was evident in both Raman spectra and powder diffractograms. Arrhenius plots also showed evidence of a phase transformation by the distinct large step change in conductivity in the temperature region where the tetragonal-cubic phase transformation was noted. Both the thermal expansion and ionic conductivity of the cubic phase decreased with increasing dopant content.
La performance de los roles profesionales en el periodismo deportivo. Análisis de noticias en cuatro plataformas mediáticas en España

Published: February 2023

A partir de la conceptualización de Mellado (2015, 2021) sobre la performance de los roles profesio-nales, manifestados en seis diferentes dimensiones: los roles intervencionista, vigilante, leal-facilitador, servicio, info-entretenimiento y cívico, se ha realizado un análisis de contenido de una muestra de 554noticias sobre deportes publicadas en doce medios españoles de prensa, radio, televisión y diarios nativosdigitales en 2020. Se abordan los siguientes objetivos: conocer qué roles periodísticos se materializanen mayor medida en la cobertura de acontecimientos deportivos, analizar si existen diferencias en lapresencia de estos roles considerando la plataforma mediática (prensa, radio, televisión y medios nativosdigitales), así como conocer qué roles intermedios se generan por la co-ocurrencia de los roles puros. Losresultados muestran que los roles más presentes son el intervencionista (M= ,26; DT= ,20) y el rol de in-fo-entretenimiento (M= ,16; DT= ,20), especialmente en los medios nativos digitales (Mintervencionista= ,31;DT= ,20; Minfo-entretenimiento= ,18; DT= ,21). Además, se ha revelado la generación de dos roles intermediosde la combinación de los roles intervencionista e info-entretenimiento (r=,266) y de los roles leal-facilitador e info-entretenimiento (r=,179). Se concluye que el modelo de periodismo deportivo descansa sobre dos funciones fundamentales, la de crear opinión y la de entretener, mientras que solo los diarios nativos digitales se alejan ligeramente al mostrarse más críticos.
EVALUATION OF LIVER ELASTICITY USING pSWE AND 2D-SWE TECHNIQUES IN HEALTHY CHILDREN
Authors: AYDIN Hüseyin , İSSİ Fatma
Published: February 2023

Objective

Shear wave elastography (SWE) is a new

ultrasonography technique that can non-invasively

evaluate liver stiffness. The efficacy of SWE in adults

has been demonstrated by numerous studies, but

there are few SWE studies of pediatric groups. Since

the liver stiffness values (LSV) vary according to the

device and the SWE method used, standard reference

values have not been established as yet. The aim of

this study was to establish the reference values of

normal liver stiffness in healthy children according to

the two SWE methods.

Materials and Method

Liver stiffness values were measured using the two

different SWE methods of point SWE (pSWE) and

2-dimensional SWE (2D-SWE) in 107 healthy children

aged 8-18 years with no liver disease. The pSWE

(EPQ) and 2D-SWE (EQI) measurements were taken

in one session on the same device (Philips Epiq Elite)

and after at least 4 hours of fasting. The effects on

liver elasticity values were investigated of gender,

age, body mass index (BMI), some biochemical

markers (such as fasting blood glucose, aspartate

aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase

(ALT), albumin, platelet, INR) and liver size.

Results

The mean LSV was 4.04±0.84kPa ((95% confidence

interval (CI):3.67-4.42)) on pSWE and 4.41±0.71kPa

(95% CI:4.09-4.72) on 2D-SWE. The upper limit LSVs

were found to be 4.42kPa and 4.72kPa, respectively.

The LSVs measured on 2D-SWE were found to be

higher than on pSWE ((median; min-max, 4.34kPa;

2.82-6kPa and 3.86kPa; 2.55–5.78, respectively,

Benefits of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids to patients with oral and metabolic diseases
Authors: Da-Ming Liao , Chieh Chen
Published: February 2023

The human body cannot produce omega-3 fatty acids and must obtain them from the diet. There are three types of omega-3 fatty acids that are needed by the human body, namely α-linolenic acid (ALA), Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) and Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA). Although studies have shown that omega-3 fatty acids cannot prevent or treat diabetes or heart diseases, they did improve the condition of insulin resistance and the level of triglycerides in the body. It is well known that being overweight leads to insulin resistance, which in turn leads to metabolic syndrome. Many animal experiments have already confirmed that long-chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFA) are beneficial in promoting insulin sensitivity. It inhibits nuclear transcription factor kappa B (NFκB), which is a key transcription factor for gene expression of inflammatory cytokines. On the other hand, studies have also pointed out that omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids do not improve the function of the kidney’s endothelial cells and high blood pressure in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Phenol Chloroform DNA Extraction Optimized for HMW gDNA from Coccidioides spp. v1
Authors: not provided mitchellbryant
Published: February 2023

Coccidioides spp. are fungal pathogens present in the arid soil of the American Southwest.This group of pathogenic fungi are responsible for coccidioidomycosis, a disease commonly known as Valley fever.Although Coccidioides infects thousands of people each year, the organism is rather poorly characterized, and little is known about mechanisms of infection.Currently, there is no effective vaccine or treatment against coccidioidomycosis.Understanding the function of an organism’s genes is essential to developing vaccines and treatments because each gene may reveal a vulnerability in the organism which can be targeted with new treatments.Molecular biology is one of the primary tools used to gain an enhanced understanding of how gene function relates to pathogenesis and virulence.Many molecular techniques including DNA sequencing and Southern blotting, require input of large quantities of in-tact genomic DNA.However, Coccidioides spp. cells are notoriously hard to disrupt without vigorous mechanical force which is likely to fragment genomic DNA.This protocol details a phenol chloroform DNA extraction optimized to obtain high yields of unfragmented genomic DNA from Coccidioides spp. using liquid nitrogen grinding to disrupt the cell wall without damaging the DNA inside. Although conventional bead beating and homogenization methods offer a high level of workflow convenience, they are incapable of extracting a large amount of unsheared genomic DNA.The protocol outlined here will provide a detailed workflow for extraction of unfragmented genomic DNA from Coccidioides spp. which is essential for downstream molecular genetics applications such as DNA sequencing and Southern blotting.

Published: February 2023

Las bacterias fitopatógenas de los géneros Erwinia, Pantoea, Pseudomonas, Ralstonia y Xanthomonas causan una gran cantidad de enfermedades en diversos cultivos. La base molecular que explica parcialmente la patogenicidad de estas bacterias radica en la translocación de proteínas efectoras hacia el interior de las células hospederas a través del sistema de secreción tipo tres (SST3). Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. manihotis (Xam) es un bacilo gram negativo y es el agente causal de la bacteriosis vascular de la yuca (Manihot esculenta Crantz). Los estudios derivados de la secuenciación del genoma de diversas cepas de Xam han permitido la identificación de hrp-associated F (HpaF) como un efector principal presente en todas las cepas secuenciadas de Latinoamérica, África y Asia. En este trabajo se evaluó la importancia de HpaF en la virulencia de Xam empleando dos estrategias. Primeramente, se pudo determinar a nivel histológico cambios morfológicos en las células de yuca causadas por HpaF. En segundo lugar, se empleó una estrategia de transcriptómica comparativa empleando un microarreglo de ADNc de yuca y ARN obtenido de plantas de yuca inoculadas con cepas de Xam mutadas en hpaF (ΔhpaF) o complementadas (ΔhpaF +hpaF). Los datos obtenidos sugieren que HpaF es un factor de virulencia de Xam ya que regula negativamente genes involucrados en el metabolismo y defensa de la planta.
Frugivoría y dispersión de semillas de la palma Oenocarpus bataua en dos regiones con diferente estado de conservación
Authors: Franco-Quimbay July , Rojas-Robles Rosario
Published: February 2023

Se comparó la frugivoría y dispersión de semillas de Oenocarpus bataua en dos áreas en Colombia, con diferente estado de conservación: Porce (departamento de Antioquia), bosque subandino alterado, fragmentado con baja conectividad y defaunado; y Reserva Las Unamas (departamento del Meta), bosque continuo, menos alterado y con presencia de especies de fauna, principalmente mamíferos desaparecidos en áreas transformadas. Se realizaron observaciones focales, fototrampeo y registro de distancias de dispersión. Cuatro de cinco frugívoros en Porce fueron pequeños mamíferos, mientras que en Las Unamas se registraron cuatro especies de tamaño mediano, y de acuerdo a registros de fauna en el área, hasta 24 especies podrían consumir los frutos. El número de semillas dispersadas, las distancias de dispersión y las distancias de semillas y plántulas al árbol parental más cercano, fueron mayores en Porce. Estos resultados sugieren intensa actividad de roedores pequeños, principalmente las ardillas, que posiblemente han aumentado, como producto de la ausencia de depredadores y competidores desaparecidos por cacería y fragmentación del hábitat. Estos roedores ejercen alta presión sobre los frutos de O. bataua, pero a la vez cumplen una función de dispersión de semillas. A pesar de la limitada dispersión de O. bataua, en ambas áreas estudiadas, esta palma es una especie abundante, fuente casi permanente de alimento para la fauna silvestre y un elemento estructurante del bosque. Este tipo de estudio es significativo debido a que permite reconocer la importancia de la conservación de áreas que sustentan interacciones ecológicas, como la dispersión de semillas y en general la funcionalidad de los ecosistemas que están siendo amenazados por la defaunación y fragmentación del hábitat.

Published: February 2023

El “chivo cabezón” Ariopsis sp. (aff. assimilis), es una especie estuarina endémica de la costa Caribe colombiana y del Oeste venezolano, pero está en peligro de extinción debido a la presión por pesca artesanal. Se estudió su alimentación y aspectos del uso del hábitat mediante su distribución espacial y estacional (densidad y biomasa) en la Bahía El Uno, golfo de Urabá (departamento de Antioquia), Colombia, a lo largo del gradiente ambiental definido por la pluma turbia del río Turbo (Ecorregión Darién). Los peces de tallas grandes se alimentaron principalmente de peces, crustáceos anomuros y camarones, presentando una tendencia a una dieta generalista, mientras que los pequeños lo hicieron principalmente de copépodos, siendo consumidores especialistas, evidenciando cambios ontogénicos en la alimentación de la población. Se plantea la hipótesis que esta especie puede presentar patrones de distribución y utilización del hábitat de forma secuencial en tiempo y espacio o programación estacional. La parte baja del estuario podría jugar un papel importante en la reproducción como hábitat de peces grandes, los cuales pueden incubar huevos principalmente durante la época seca, mientras que las zonas de la parte media y alta, que se encuentran bordeadas por bosque de manglar, se podrían considerar como zonas importantes de crianza, presentando mayor abundancia de peces pequeños en la época de lluvia.

NOMA-enabled Cooperative V2V Communications with Fixed-Gain AF Relaying
Authors: KOŞU Semiha , ATA Serdar Özgür
Published: February 2023

By virtue of its improving bandwidth efficiency along with user fairness, non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) technique is considered a promising method for next-generation wireless communication systems. Since fading effect of wireless channels in vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication systems are more severe than those in traditional systems, in this study, we employ the power-domain downlink NOMA technique in cooperative V2V communication systems to enhance data transmission capacity and network efficiency. In the proposed system, the base station communicates with two vehicular nodes, namely near and far users, through a relay vehicle employing the fixed-gain amplify-and-forward scheme. In real-life scenarios, the relay and the users move in high velocities; hence, the corresponding fading channels between these nodes are exposed as having double-Rayleigh fading characteristic in which the fading coefficient of a wireless channel is modeled as the product of two Rayleigh distributed random variables. To analyze the system performance, we first investigate the outage probability and derive its exact closed-form expressions for the near and far users. Then, we make the exact ergodic capacity analysis and obtain the closed-form solution for the near user. Furthermore, outage and ergodic performances of the NOMA-enabled system are compared to the simulation results of the traditional orthogonal multiple access approach. We also give analytic and numerical results to evaluate the performance of the proposed system and show the consistency of Monte-Carlo simulations with analytical derivations. It is observed that even with the small power allocation, both performances of the near user mostly outperform the far user.

The possibilities of monitoring of children at risk are considered. The article is aimed at presenting the possibility of monitoring of children at risk. It is determined that the monitoring is aimed at creating the necessary prerequisites for social education in order to prevent criminal behavior among minors. The article presents a study modeled on the strategy of a case study based on the theoretical principles of social construction and participation. The study used methods of retrospective analysis and meta-analysis of research data to develop and practice a tool for monitoring the behavior of at-risk children. Adequate and timely objective information makes it possible to analyze the current situation in more detail, make reasonable assumptions and reduce subjectivism. Monitoring of children at risk involves constant and parallel selection, processing and interpretation of data. A meta-analysis of the results of the studies shows that the meaningful use of the tool in the work of social teachers creates opportunities to increase the effectiveness of psychological and pedagogical work with children at risk. It is important to note that the use of the monitoring tool is accompanied by pedagogical diagnostics of accumulated data, which allows the teacher to understand the behavior of children at risk, since the tool allows you to objectively find out the process of forming inappropriate behavior, analyze the life and educational history of the child and, at the same time, the history of his behavioral changes. It is proved that timely and consistent use of the tools for monitoring children at risk creates prerequisites for pedagogical diagnosis of behavior, which makes it possible to choose timely, purposeful and pedagogically justified strategies for correcting behavior.

Bu çalışmamızda tedarik zincirleri kesintileri, eşitsizlik şokları ve kurumsal yeniliklerin gelişmekte olan ülkelerin sanayileşme hızına etkilerini panel VAR modeli ile incelemekteyiz. Bulgularımıza göre gelir bölüşümündeki bozulma gelişmekte olan ülkelerin sanayileşme çabalarına zarar verirken kurumsal faktörlerdeki iyileşmeler bu çabaları güçlü kılmaktadır. Diğer yandan, tedarik zinciri kesintilerinin sanayileşme üzerindeki etkisi doğrusal olmayan bir patika izlemektedir; bu da yerel endüstrilerin ithal girdi darboğazlarını aramalı ithal ikamesi yoluyla massedebildiğini göstermektedir. Küresel değer zincirlerine geriden katılım ile düzenleyici kurumsal nitelikler arasında herhangi bir Granger-nedensellik ilişkisinin bulunmaması literatürde sıklıkla işlenen yönetişimsel iyileşmelerin değer zincirlerine katılımı destekleyeceğine dair tezin gelişmekte olan ülke bağlamında geçerli olmayabileceğini göstermektedir.

In Russia and globally, total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has been increasingly performed. The high quality of implants, improvement of arthroplasty technologies, and accumulated practical experiences of surgeons did not considerably reduce the frequency of complications and unsatisfactory operative outcomes. The negative consequences of knee replacement are determined both intraoperatively and postoperatively. This review aimed to analyze the literature on the frequency and complications of knee arthroplasty and their causes in the long-term postoperative period. In recent decades, the number of patients who are not satisfied with TKA outcomes has been increasing. Moreover, information about complications, their frequency, their causes, and possibilities of preventing negative consequences remains contradictory. Surgical treatment of complications requires particular attention, with surgical site infections as the most common. Recent studies highlight the important of evaluating surgical site infections during and after TKA, especially for deep infectious complications after TKA, which leads to hospitalizations, and reoperations. To date, many studies have investigated early postoperative complications leading to negative consequences in the long-term postoperative period. In addition, in the absence of postoperative complications, the service life of the implant is limited, and unsatisfactory TKA outcomes were attributed to wear and tear of the endoprosthesis. Domestic and international studies about premature or unreasonable TKA, as one of the reasons for negative osteoarthritis treatment outcomes, are increasing. The discussion about the indications and contraindications for knee arthroplasty continues. This literature review discusses the current state of this topic.

BACKGROUND: Complete rupture of the symphysis during childbirth is a rare but serious complication, with a frequency of 0.03%3%. Small partial tears with minor discrepancies are an indication of conservative therapy, which only requires the use of a pelvic brace. Larger symphyseal tears should be treated with surgery and fixation.
CLINICAL CASE DESCRIPTION: This report presents a clinical case of successful orthopedic correction of symphysitis after delivery by cesarean section. A 25-year-old patient underwent total resection of the symphysis pubis with supra-acetabular fixation and external fixation device of a rod arrangement for 12 weeks.
CONCLUSION: Several surgical techniques in combination with defect plasty with biocomposite material KollapAn-С made it possible to achieve a long-term positive result.

BACKGROUND: Progress in science is attributed to improvements in research methods. The rapid development in diagnostic radiology observed in the last two decades has opened fundamentally new opportunities for clinical medicine, making practically all organs, and tissue structures of the human body accessible for research. Computer technology in medicine makes it possible to assess in more detail deformities of the lower extremity and improve methods of surgical treatment that determine the individual correction of the shape of the deformed bone.
AIM: To comprehensively assess deformities of the long bones of the lower extremities using modern methods of radiation diagnostics computed tomography.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Surgery, as the main treatment of patients with deformities of the long bones of the limbs, cannot be effectively implemented without knowing detailed appearance of the femur and tibia and all the elements of the deformity. Angular deformities of the long bones are usually assessed by plain radiographs in frontal and lateral projections, and rotational deformities of the long bones are assessed by multislice computed tomography.
RESULTS: In the National Medical Research Center of Traumatology and Orthopedics named after N.N. Priorov and Clinic of Scientific Medicine, computed tomography studies of the long bones of the lower extremities and hip and lower limb deformities were performed from 2015 to 2022. The study involved 265 patients aged 65 years, who were divided according to the type of deformity.
CONCLUSION: Complex X-ray diagnostics for deformities of the long bones of the lower extremities according to our method allows us to represent the deformity not only in planimetric, but also in stereometric terms. This helps eliminate projectionangular and volumetric rotational deformations.
LGB Identity and Minority Stress

Published: February 2023

Recent studies have shown that chronic disease related to inflammation prevalence is higher among sexual minority populations. The reasons and mechanisms that cause the health disparity of chronic diseases related to inflammation among sexual minority individuals remain unclear. Minority stress theory is the mainstream hypothesis that explains the association between sexual minorities and health disparity in chronic diseases, which implies chronic stress could induce inflammation as the biological pathway. In addition, chronic diseases and conditions could be exacerbated by inflammation and induced pain. Previous research indicated that some sexual minority groups, such as incompletely heterosexuals and unsure about their sexual identity individuals, are exposed to higher levels of minority stressors as discrimination is understudied. This dissertation conducted three aims to investigate the minority stress impacts on chronic diseases and health conditions related to inflammation among sexual minority individuals. In Aim 1, we assessed the relationship between sexual orientation and chronic diseases related to inflammation and whether the intersections of gender and race/ethnicity affects this relationship. In Aim 2, we evaluated the association between sexual minority discrimination with chronic diseases related to inflammation and the modifications by gender, race/ethnicity, and age. In Aim 3, we examined the mediation effects of sexual discrimination and mood/anxiety for the association between sexual orientation with chronic diseases related to inflammation. In this dissertation, studies have been conducted on a nationally representative non-institutionalized U.S. population cross-sectional dataset. Multiple logistic regression, stratified analysis, intersectionality analysis, latent class analysis, and counterfactual mediation analysis was utilized in the studies.
The Effects of Social Media on Museums During COVID-19

Social media can be a useful and powerful tool during times of crisis, such as during the COVID-19 pandemic. This thesis is about how museums utilized social media to connect and interact with their audience when they closed because of COVID-19 lockdowns, and even when they reopened again during the pandemic time-period. It was already known in pre-pandemic times that museums had to engage in using technology and social media to improve their museum's experience, and to keep up with the tides of change that the world has been going through since modern technology started in the 20th century. Though museums and other non-profits were engaging with technology and social media, it was not at the speed of the rest of the world. Through my research I found how museums took initiative and used their social media to not only engage with their current audience, but to find that they can improve themselves and use social media not just as a tool but an extension of their non-profit. An increase in posting and post interaction from the museums and their audience can be seen since Covid-19 started. This shows the effects of how museums are taking social media more seriously and engaging outside the physical building of the museum. It also highlights a change in mind frame of how social media is used, going from being but an extra thing to becoming a tool of importance toward communication within the 21st century.
