Year: 2016

description: The purpose of this study is to investigate the psychometric properties of the Brief Impression Questionnaire (BIQ), a novel measure designed to utilize impression formation in the assessment of social functioning in a schizophrenia population. To achieve this goal, we will examine the factor structure of the BIQ, as well as explore the correlations between the extracted factor scores and social cognition and social functioning measures. A total of 104 (47 controls) individuals participated in this study. These participants were each rated on the BIQ by one of eighteen research assistants. An exploratory factor analysis (EFA) revealed separate factor structures for the control (one-factor solution) and patient (two-factor solution) groups. The factor for the control group was labeled “Composite.” The factors for the patient group were labeled “Agreeableness” and “Willingness to Engage.” Both the Agreeableness and Willingness to Engage factor were positively correlated with informant reports of patient social functioning. For the healthy control group, the Composite factor was positively correlated with self-reports of social cognition. These results provide evidence that impression formation may be a viable tool in the field of schizophrenia research.

description: The spectral variability of active galactic nuclei (AGN) is one of their key features that enables us to study in more details the structure of AGN emitting regions. Especially, the broad line profiles, that vary both in flux and shape, give us invaluable information about the kinematics and geometry of the broad line region (BLR) where these lines are originating from. We give here a comparative review of the line shape variability in a sample of five type 1 AGN, those with broad emission lines in their spectra, of the data obtained from the international long-term optical monitoring campaign coordinated by the Special Astrophysical Observatory of the Russian Academy of Science. The main aim of this campaign is to study the physics and kinematics of the BLR on a uniform data set, focusing on the problems of the photoionization heating of the BLR and its geometry, where in this paper we give for a first time a comparative analysis of the variabilty of five type 1 AGN, discussing their complex BLR physics and geometry in the framework of the estimates of the supermassive black hole mass in AGN.

title: How do changes in meal predictability and timing affect hippocampal dependent tasks?
Creators: name: Huggard, Summer Gaskill
Publisher: name: Memorial University of Newfoundland
Year: 2022

description: Light is the most prominent zeitgeber for circadian rhythms, but other stimuli such as food are also robust entrainers. Manipulations of the Light-Dark cycle impair hippocampal-dependent memory in rodents; however, little is known about the effects of meal timing on this type of memory. The purpose of these experiments was to determine the effect of manipulating meal timing and predictability on the Morris Water Maze (MWM) task. Rats received their food either in one meal at the same time of day (1M), multiple meals at random and unpredictable times (MM), or of their own choosing (ad libitum). Rats were trained on the MWM to find a hidden platform before their memory retention was tested using no-platform probes. In Study 1 (i.e., Standard Lighting), it was predicted that the 1M group would show better memory retention than the MM group. The 1M performed as expected by showing high memory retention; however, the MM group did not show a memory deficit likely due to issues with nocturnality. Thus, Study 2 was a replication of Study 1 that utilized a reverse lighting schedule such that meals and testing were administered during the dark cycle. The 1M and MM group continued to perform above chance, indicating that light was a robust entrainment tool that masked any potential effects of meal manipulation. Finally, Study 3 implemented a constant darkness manipulation to eliminate the influence of light. It was expected that rats with a disrupted lighting and feeding schedule (i.e., the DD-MM group) would show a memory deficit on the retention probes. This was confirmed, thus indicating that there is an additive effect of light and food as zeitgebers on hippocampal-dependent memory. Taken together, these studies provide evidence that light is the most prominent entrainment tool and, when available, the influence of lighting information will mask that of other zeitgebers. Studies of this nature will help elucidate the impact of disrupting zeitgebers not controlled by the suprachiasmatic nucleus.
Suppressor Screen for New Components of the Cytokinin Signaling Pathway in Arabidopsis thaliana

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2018

description: Cytokinin is a plant hormone that plays key roles in regulating several aspects of growth and development, including nutrient uptake, cell division, shoot initiation, and leaf senescence. The framework of the cytokinin signal transduction pathway in plants involves a slightly modified version of a two-component phosphorelay system. Type-A ARABIDOPSIS RESPONSE REGULATORS (ARRs) are negative regulators of this pathway. A quadruple type-A arr loss-of-function mutant, arr3,4,8,9, is hypersensitive to cytokinin and displays a short root phenotype when subjected to low levels of cytokinin. In order to identify novel components of the cytokinin signaling pathway, mutagenized arr3,4,8,9 progeny pools were screened for suppressors of cytokinin hypersensitivity (sch). To date, 376 putative sch mutants have been identified in the M2. Of the 180 M3 mutants tested, 89 exhibited longer roots and decreased sensitivity to low levels of cytokinin compared to the arr3,4,8,9 parent. Future directions include continued confirmation of putative mutant lines and mapping of causative mutations for the suppressor phenotype using bulked segregant analysis. Identification of novel cytokinin signaling components may improve crop engineering efforts, as cytokinin signaling is involved in the development of several desirable plant traits, including enhanced drought resistance and increased crop yield.

description: Great cities connect people; failed cities isolate people. Despite the fundamental importance of physical, face-to-face social-ties in the functioning of cities, these connectivity networks are not explicitly observed in their entirety. Attempts at estimating them often rely on unrealistic over-simplifications such as the assumption of spatial homogeneity. Here we propose a mathematical model of human interactions in terms of a local strategy of maximising the number of beneficial connections attainable under the constraint of limited individual travelling-time budgets. By incorporating census and openly-available online multi-modal transport data, we are able to characterise the connectivity of geometrically and topologically complex cities. Beyond providing a candidate measure of greatness, this model allows one to quantify and assess the impact of transport developments, population growth, and other infrastructure and demographic changes on a city. Supported by validations of GDP and HIV infection rates across United States metropolitan areas, we illustrate the effect of changes in local and city-wide connectivities by considering the economic impact of two contemporary inter- and intra-city transport developments in the United Kingdom: High Speed Rail 2 and London Crossrail. This derivation of the model suggests that the scaling of different urban indicators with population size has an explicitly mechanistic origin.

Investigating Multi-Material Additive Manufacturing as a Method to Join Previously “Un-weldable” Material Combinations
Creators: name: Jones, Nicholas
Publisher: name: Carnegie Mellon University
Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: Mechanical Engineering
subject: FOS: Mechanical engineering

description: The bonding of dissimilar metals is a powerful and important part of modern manufacturing. Being able to combine the capabilities of many different alloys in one coherent structure is of great interest to designers, engineers, and manufacturers. However, many alloy combinations are deemed “un-weldable” for a variety of reasons, such as large differences in physical properties or the formation of deleterious material phases at the compositional gradient between the materials. Additive manufacturing presents an array of unique advantages over other multi-material fabrication techniques that may allow for the development of successful bonds in alloys that have in the past failed. Assessment of a material junction using a wide range of tools such as thermal and thermodynamic simulation – accompanied by thorough experimental analysis – is the key to overcoming these challenges. In the current work, a variety of computational tools are employed alongside experimental methods to assess whether past fabrication failures can be made into successes. Out-of-the-box solutions include CALPHAD (Calculation of phase diagrams) and material kinetics simulations to assess the range of material properties and phase formations that can occur and nearly and alloy composition. A thermal simulation program specifically developed for additive manufacturing process development is also detailed, including its comparison to conventional computational tools and the range of its possible applications. Several case studies are detailed involving the development of multi-material bonds with additive manufacturing. The first involves the avoidance of brittle carbide formation at the interface between 304 stainless steel and Inconel 625 nickel superalloy. In the second study, AL-6XN super-austenitic stainless steel is bonded with Invar 36 to assess whether this steel has potential for use as a highly corrosion-resistant option for additive manufacturing. The last study details the bonding of Inconel 718 nickel superalloy with GRCop-84, a high-strength copper alloy; the possibility of using a Ni interface layer is posited as a method to avoid severe intermetallic formation at the interface between these two alloys. In each study, simulation techniques are combined with experimental validation to assess the efficacy of additive manufacturing as a tool for the development of these multi-metal combinations. The principles behind the avoidance of bond failure in each study may have applications for the further identification of alloys and alloy combinations for multi-material fabrication, even when said alloys have previously been discounted by traditional manufacturing techniques.

description: In the absence of a global description of the experimental data on elastic and soft diffractive scattering from the first principles of QCD, model-independent analyses may provide useful phenomenological insights for the development of the theory in the soft sector. With that in mind, we present an empirical study on the energy dependence of the ratio $X$ between the elastic and total cross sections; a quantity related to the evolution of the hadronic central opacity. The dataset comprises all the experimental information available on proton-proton and antiproton-proton scattering in the c.m. energy interval 5 GeV - 8 TeV. Generalizing previous works, we discuss four model-independent analytical parameterizations for $X$, consisting of sigmoid functions composed with elementary functions of the energy and three distinct asymptotic scenarios: either the standard black disk limit or scenarios above or below that limit. Our two main conclusions are the following: (1) although consistent with the experimental data, the black disk does not represent an unique solution; (2) the data reductions favor a semi-transparent scenario, with asymptotic average value for the ratio $\bar{X}$ = 0.30 $\pm$ 0.12. In this case, within the uncertainty, the asymptotic regime may already be reached around 1000 TeV. We present a comparative study of the two scenarios, including predictions for the inelastic channel (diffraction dissociation) and the ratio associated with the total cross-section and the elastic slope. Details on the selection of our empirical ansatz for $X$ and physical aspects related to a change of curvature in this quantity at 80 - 100 GeV, indicating the beginning of a saturation effect, are also presented and discussed.

A Generic Main Control Software Structure in a Distributed Data Acquisition Platform: D-Matrix
Creators: name: Zhengyang Sun
Publisher: name: Zenodo

description: In addition to data acquisition, DAQ systems often incorporate monitoring and controlling tasks. In contrast to developing custom control software for individual experiments, a unified control software architecture abstraction is expected. The core of the generic control software is developed using Python and primarily comprises core function groups and executors. The core functional group encompasses various functionalities required for system control, including user management, subsystem configuration, system operational control, and so on. The functional group related to system configuration interacts with the database. Due to the predominant use of C++ in the development of the D-Matrix system software, the system operational control of the main controller requires interaction with C++. We have encapsulated and abstracted the interaction interfaces, primarily utilizing ZeroMQ and boost.python. The core functional group ensures functionality extensibility by scanning and adding Python files in specific working directories. The core executors consist of three types: terminal console, script executor, and web server. All three executors actually utilize the same command format to invoke various functionalities: 'group name + command name [+ parameters]'. The terminal console supports interactive command-line sessions or single-command execution. The script executor can execute pre-written script files. The web server is developed using Flask and interacts with the front-end web pages. The front-end pages also use the same command format to perform various operations and retrieve response data. The diversity of executors within the architecture enables the control software to have a wide range of application scenarios.
مطالعات فرهنگیِ ایرانی، نادیده گرفتن فرودستان و سیاست زدایی

description: پژوهش حاضر به تحلیل جایگاه مطالعات فرهنگی در ایران از خلال مقالات منتشرشده در فصلنامه ی مطالعات فرهنگی و ارتباطات در فاصله زمانی 1396 -1392 می پردازد. مبنای نظری مقاله مبتنی بر دسته بندی کریس روجک است که این حوزه از دانش را به چهار برهۀ ملی - مردمی، متنی- نمایشی، جهانی-پسا ذات باوری و حکومت مندی و سیاست تقسیم میکند. روش مورد استفاده «فراتحلیل کیفی»، و فن گردآوری داده ها مبتنی بر بررسی اسناد است. یافته ها نشان میدهد که از 156 مقاله بررسی شده، 97 مقاله در حوزه ی متون فرهنگی، 25 مقاله در حوزه  فرودستان، 8 مقاله در باب زندگی روزمره، 7 مقاله در تحلیل فرهنگ عامه، 4 مقاله مربوط به سیاست گذاری فرهنگی و 14 مقاله نیز سایر مباحث را در بر می گیرند. مضمون مقالات بیانگر آن است که مطالعات فرهنگی در ایران تمایلی به بازنمایی و نمایندگی صداهای خاموش ندارد؛ به بافت و زمینه وقعی نمی نهد؛ انتزاعی است و جامعۀ هدف آن طبقه ی متوسط تهران می باشد. این در حالی است که کشور ایران دارای طیفی از گروه های اجتماعی مختلف با تجربه ی شکل های چندگانه نابرابری هم در حوزه ی سیاست بازتوزیع و هم در قلمرو سیاست بازشناسی است. از این حیث، به نظر میرسد اغلب این مطالعات به سیاست زدایی از جامعه و مردم محدود میشوند و چندان به مداخله راه نمیبرند. ولی این تمام داستان نیست. برای مثال، با این که در دو دهۀ اخیر تغییرات اجتماعی چشمگیری رخ داده است و بخش مهمی از زندگی ما متأثر از فرآیندهای پیچیده ی اقتصادی و سیاسی است، اما این حوزه از دانش کماکان در پی مطالعات متنی است و التفاتی به چگونگی تغییر در سطح واقعیت مادی زندگی روزمره ندارد. مهمتر از همه این که مطالعات فرهنگی در ایران تاکنون نتوانسته سنت پژوهشی خاصی را دنبال کند و از این رهگذر هنوز به خلق مطالعات فرهنگی ایرانی که ذاتی این شیوه از اندیشه است دست نیافته است
کارکردهای رسانه ای موسیقی رپ در چارچوب خرده فرهنگ هیپ  هاپ (مورد مطالعه: رپ زیرزمینی فارسی در دهه های هشتاد و نود شمسی)
Publisher: name: دانشگاه کردستان
Year: 2022

description: در جهان کنونی، موسیقی رسانه ای تاثیرگذار و یک کالای پرمصرف فرهنگی محسوب میشود. موسیقی به واسطه جذابیت های سمعی و تهییج روانی افراد، اثرات روحی و روانی مؤثر و ماندگاری ایجاد میکند. در سالهای اخیر، موسیقی رپ به عنوان ابزار رسانه ای خرده فرهنگ هیپ هاپ، طرفداران زیادی را جذب خود کرده است که عمدتا در تنش و تضاد با فرهنگ غالب جوامع حرکت میکند و از این حیث به آن موسیقی زیرزمینی نیز گفته میشود. این نوع موسیقی سعی میکند با خیابانی ترین کلمات، عامی ترین افراد جامعه را تهییج و جذب نمایند. این نوع از رسانه در متن ها و فرامتن های خود انواعی یافته و کارکردهای متفاوتی را برای شنوندگان مهیا میکند. مقاله حاضر به دنبال پاسخ به این سئوال است که کارکردهای رسانه ای موسیقی رپ زیرزمینی فارسی در دهه های هشتاد و نود شمسی چگونه است و با چه مضامینی خودش را ترویج می کند؟ برای رسیدن به پاسخ، از روش کیفی تحلیل مضمون استفاده شد و متن آهنگهای رپ چهار خواننده زیرزمینی و معروف این حوزه در 20 سال اخیر که قریب به ۹2 آهنگ و ۶۵۷۴ کلمه بود، کدگذاری و تحلیل گردید. در نهایت به این نتیجه رسیدیم که مضامین کارکردی این متن ها، بیشتر حول آگاه سازی، اطلاع رسانی، انتقال ناآگاهانه و آگاهانه فرهنگ، تعلق اجتماعی و همبستگی اجتماعی بوده است

description: We report new simulations of cooling of compact stars containing quark cores and updated fits to the Cas A fast cooling data. Our model is built on the assumption that the transient behaviour of the star in Cas A is due to a phase transition within the dense QCD matter in the core of the star. Specifically, the fast cooling is attributed to an enhancement in the neutrino emission triggered by a transition from a fully gapped, two-flavor, red-green color-superconducting quark condensate to a superconducting crystalline or an alternative gapless, color-superconducting phase. The blue colored condensate is modeled as a Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS)-type color superconductor with spin-one pairing order parameter. We study the sensitivity of the fits to the phase transition temperature, the pairing gap of blue quarks and the time-scale characterizing the phase transition (the latter modelled in terms of a width parameter). Relative variations in these parameter around their best fit values larger than $10^{-3}$ spoil the fit to the data. We confirm the previous finding that the cooling curves show significant variations as a function of compact star mass, which allows one to account for dispersion in the data on the surface temperatures of thermally emitting neutron stars.

The reduction in the longitudinal magnetization at resonance is measured as a frequency shift in the cavity mode coupled to the sphere. This measurement is a result of the intrinsic non-linearity in magnetization dynamics, indicating a promising route towards experiments in magnon cavity quantum electro-dynamics.

For this purpose, an empirical study was conducted. More specifically, this study attempted to find out the type of interference, the frequency of each type, and the factors in contribution in language interference. The researchers used descriptive-qualitative research. The data were taken through elicitation technique and documentation. The results of this study demonstrate that the students made types of interference; syntactical interference and lexical interference. Syntactical interference divided into four categories: using of L1 structure in target language, using of L1 structure in English noun phrase, literal translation in negation of verbal sentence, and literal translation in negation of nominal sentence. Then lexical interference divided into four categories: loanwords, literal translation at level of word, literal translation of L1 preposition, and literal translation of L1 adverb of manner

description: This paper develops a modified and a fully modified OLS estimator for a panel of cointegrating polynomial regressions, i.e. regressions that include an integrated process and its powers as explanatory variables. The stationary errors are allowed to be serially correlated and the regressors are allowed to be endogenous and we allow for individual and time fixed effects. Inspired by Phillips and Moon (1999) we consider a cross-sectional i.i.d. random linear process framework. The modified OLS estimator utilizes the large cross-sectional dimension that allows to consistently estimate and subtract an additive bias term without the need to also transform the dependent variable as required in fully modified OLS estimation. Both developed estimators have zero mean Gaussian limiting distributions and thus allow for standard asymptotic inference. Our illustrative application indicates that the developed methods are a potentially useful addition to not least the environmental Kuznets curve literature's toolkit.

description: The title of this project, Natura Naturans, poses the noun, natura, as a verb in the present tense. This implies process and transition; nature is subject to change, and human actions can positively or negatively impact natural processes.This project reflects upon the concept of nature as a process rather than a fixed system by examining a specific ecological site, Jordan Lake. Through collected materials and specimens from the site this project examines the anthropogenic changes to the ecological system, and the way that human impact has altered the natural processes. Natura Naturans balances the display of data/information and abstract, poetic, sculptural gestures.

description: We present the discovery by the WASP-South survey of three planets transiting moderately bright stars (V ~ 11). WASP-120b is a massive (5.0MJup) planet in a 3.6-day orbit that we find likely to be eccentric (e = 0.059+0.025-0.018) around an F5 star. WASP-122b is a hot-Jupiter (1.37MJup, 1.79RJup) in a 1.7-day orbit about a G4 star. Our predicted transit depth variation cause by the atmosphere of WASP-122b suggests it is well suited to characterisation. WASP-123b is a hot-Jupiter (0.92MJup, 1.33RJup) in a 3.0-day orbit around an old (~ 7 Gyr) G5 star.

description: فرهنگ در معماری هر جامعه ای، نمایش ایدئولوژی هایی است که با احجام عینی نمود پیدا می کند، فرایندی که طی آن دگرگون ­شدن معماری شکل می گیرد. فرهنگ معماری مشتمل بر هر بنایی است که اندیشه ذهنی طراح خود را از طریق شکل ظاهری عینیت می بخشد. امروزه خوشایندی فضای بصری در حوزه معماری مسئله ای مهم و قابل­ توجه است. درحالی ­که همواره برای طراحی نماهای ابنیه از معیارهای تجربی و هنجاری استفاده شده است؛ اما مبحث ویدئواکولوژی در پی به دست آوردن معیارهای بصری برای انطباق بیشتر محیط مصنوع با مکانیسم های بینایی انسان با دنیای بصری است. این مقاله تلاش کرده تا با توجه به ویژگی های ساختار چشم انسان در ارتباط با نماهای ابنیه و تحلیل زوایای بصری عمودی به الگوریتم مشخصی مبتنی بر بوم شناسی بصری از منظر فرهنگ حاکم بر جامعه برسد؛ تا در کنار سایر معیارهای زیبایی شناختی و هنجاری موجود، بتوان در هماهنگی و خوشایندی بیشتری این فضا را شکل داد. این پژوهش از روش توصیفی- پدیدارشناسانه در رویکردی استنتاجی و خوانشی تأویلی استفاده برده است و اطلاعات و داده های مربوط به موضوع، از روش تحلیلی-قیاسی در رابطه با زوایای بصری بکار گرفته شده است. سپس از همسوسازی داده ها برای دستیابی به الگوریتم مذکور استفاده شده و در نهایت یافته های پژوهش به صورت نتیجه و مدلی مفهومی ارائه گردیده است. نتایج این پژوهش در 4بنای شاخص نشان داد همانطور که در فرهنگ معماری ایرانی رعایت مقیاس انسانی و مردم واری فضاها مورد توجه بوده است، ارتفاعی که از الگوریتم بدست می آید، از مرسوم ترین و خوشایندترین ارتفاعات مورد استفاده طراحان در فرهنگ معماری زمان خود بوده است

description: Objective. To describe the development, implementation, and evaluation of the multiple mini-interview (MMI)
within a PharmD admissions model.
Methods. Demographic data and academic indicators were collected for all candidates who participated in
Candidates’ Day (n = 253), along with the score for each MMI station criteria (7 stations). A survey was
administered to all candidates that completed the MMI and another survey was administered to all interviewers to
examine perceptions of the MMI. A three-facet multifaceted Rasch measurement (MFRM) analysis was completed
to determine interviewer severity, candidate ability, and MMI station difficulty using data from Chapel Hill and
Asheville. Data for the Asheville MFRM included both 2013-2014 and 2014-2015 admission cycles while the
Chapel Hill MFRM analyzed data from the 2013-2014 cycle alone.
Results. Analyses suggest that MMI stations assessed different attributes as designed, with Cronbach’s alpha for
each station ranging from 0.90 to 0.95. All correlations between MMI station scores and academic indicators were
negligible (rp ≤ 0.2). No significant differences in average station scores were found based on age, gender, or race.
Surveys indicated the MMI was generally considered acceptable by candidates and faculty. The MFRMs found
differences in candidate ability explained 36-45% of the variance in MMI scores while differences in interviewer
severity explained 9-16% of the variance in MMI scores.
Conclusion. This study provides additional support for the use of the MMI as an admissions tool in pharmacy
education.
مطالعه جامعه شناختی نسبت ابعاد چهارگانه هویت (مطالعه موردی دانش آموزان شهر سنندج)
Publisher: name: دانشگاه کردستان
Year: 2022

description: مقوله هویت در جوامع مختلف مقوله واحدی نیست و متأثر از منابع هویتی گوناگون است. این امر بعضاً به تضاد و کشاکش این منابع با یکدیگر منجر شده و معضلاتی را دامن زده است. بنابراین، به تناسب پدیده هایی که انسان از طریق آنها خود را میشناسد و به دیگران میشناساند میتوان هویت داشت. هدف این مطالعه سنجش روابط بین ابعاد هویتی و چگونگی تاثیر آنها با یکدیگر در بین نوجوانان شهر سنندج است. همچنین این مقاله تلاش میکند سهم هر یک از ابعاد چهارگانه هویت را در این بین معین کند. به همین منظور نظریه هایی که به مسئله هویت از منظر رویکرد ترکیب-گرایی و همچنین منظر کنش متقابل نمادین تاکید دارند، در بخش نظریه ها تشریح شده اند. همچنین رویکرد ترکیب گرایانه به عنوان چارچوب نظری این مطالعه انتخاب شده است. روش تحقیق در این پژوهش رویکرد کمی و با استفاده از تکنیک پیمایش ان جام گرفته است. ابزار گردآوری داده ها پرسشنامه استاندار بوده و جامعه آماری هم نوجوانان شهر سنندج است. در این مطالعه نمونه آماری 400 نفر را شامل میشود. در مدل تجربی بدست آمده از ارتباط بین ابعاد هویت نوجوانان، نکته مهم محوریت هویت رسمی در بین دیگر ابعاد هویت است و تمام ابعاد هویت با بعد هویت ملی رابطه مستقیم و مثبتی دارند. بعد هویت محلی با دیگر ابعاد هویت ارتباط مستقیمی ندارد و کمتر از سایر ابعاد هویتی تاثیر پذیرفته است

Air Pollution and Environmental Activism:  A Study of Environmental Awareness and Behavior in College Students from Jiangsu, China
Creators: name: Callison, Virginia W.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2016

description: Chinese college students are both aware and knowledgeable of the negative effects of air pollution. Despite being an environmentally conscious group, Chinese college students do not regularly engage in environmental activism seeking to address air pollution. This lack of student engagement, in spite of being well-informed of the issues, indicates that air pollution will not be solved through environmental activism. Framed as a pilot study, this research will analyze the opinions and behavior of 44 college students in Jiangsu, China in order to predict how Chinese youth will seek to solve problems of air pollution. This research will focus on environmental activism as a measure of the willingness of college students to address air pollution as a collective group. By analyzing the responses of these students, this research will evaluate how students view and are involved in environmental activism, as well as what methods students prefer in terms of solving air pollution. Using this information and data from previous studies, this research will predict what actions students will use to improve air quality in Jiangsu.

Food Allergy Framing in Entertainment Media: The Use of Humor and Its Influence on Health Thoughts and Behaviors
Creators: name: Opper, Chloe Elizabeth
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2015

description: With the rising rate of food allergies in the United States and across the globe, learning
how food allergies are portrayed in the media is becoming an increasingly important public
health and communications issue. With no current cure, awareness and knowledge of allergies
and appropriate responses in emergent situations are essential for the health and well being of
those with severe food allergies. Entertainment media can help shape viewers’ perceptions of
ambiguous heath issues like food allergies. Further, humor can exacerbate perceptions when
negative attitudes and stigma already exist about a population. This study investigated whether
people’s perceptions about food allergies differ after viewing a humorous or nonhumorous
portrayal of food allergies in entertainment media. A Qualtrics survey with video stimuli was
given to 163 participants from the UNC-Chapel Hill journalism participant pool. No difference
emerged based on the clip grouping. However, participants liked the actor having a food allergy
when they did not personally have an allergy or when the participants knew someone with a food
allergy. This and other significant statistical relationships that emerged suggest further research
with a more diverse sample and different clip selection.

CRISPR-Mediated Knockout of Transcription Factor FOXC1 in Breast Cancer Cells
Creators: name: Amankwah, Koby
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2019

description: Breast cancer is the most commonly occurring cancer in women in the US and accounts for about 40,000 deaths each year. Through gene expression profiling, the Perou Lab has categorized breast cancer into five unique subtypes, some of which are sensitive to chemotherapy (basal-like), and some that are not (luminal A). Gene expression profiling has also revealed that certain transcription factors, such as FOXC1, are highly expressed in basal-like cancers. The goal of this project is to study the functional role of FOXC1 in basal-like breast cancers. We propose to do this by using CRISPR/Cas9 to modify the genome of basal-like breast cancer cell lines and delete the transcription factor FOXC1. We hypothesize that deletion of FOXC1 will cause changes in the expression of other genes important for maintaining cells in the basal-like phenotype. To test this hypothesis, we transfected three basal-like breast cancer cell lines with a CRISPR/Cas9 plasmid to induce a knockout at the FOXC1 locus. We validated knockout clones for modification of the FOXC1 gene by sequencing genomic DNA and showed loss of FOXC1 protein expression by western blot. We then used DNA microarrays to measure global changes in gene expression when FOXC1 is knocked out. Analysis of gene expression after inactivation of FOXC1 identified hundreds of differentially expressed genes, and a possible role for FOXC1 in maintenance of mesenchymal features. By better understanding of what genetic factors determine a given cancer subtype, we believe we can manipulate a tumor to be more basal-like and therefore possibly more sensitive to chemotherapy.
