PAUSE-Cardio: Mitigating Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Among Women's Sport Student-Athletes through Moderate-Intensity Exercise Intervention
Creators: name: Thomas, Emily Grace
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2024

description: Moderate-intensity exercise may mitigate symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress. Although women’s sport student-athletes transitioning to college and collegiate sport experience a heightened prevalence of MHIs, little is understood about the influence of moderate-intensity exercise on this population. In this interventional study, four university students participated in a 4-week 45-minute indoor cycling moderate-intensity cardiovascular exercise intervention. We measured changes from pre-program (T1) to post-program (T2) in depression, anxiety, and stress, along with retention rates and exploratory identity measures. Depression decreased, while stress and anxiety increased. This may be due to the exam week during T2 and the short length of the intervention. Our retention rate was (4/5) 80%, suggesting possible feasibility within this population. Exercise, academic, and athletic identities increased, and all identities were negatively correlated with MHI. The results suggest moderate-intensity exercise interventions may be feasible in this specific population and emphasized the relationship between exercise, athletic, and academic identities with mental health symptoms.

description: Objective: To assess the psychometric properties of the Hearing Handicap Questionnaire (HHQ) in Kannada (a South-Indian language) among adults with hearing loss. Design: The study involved a cross-sectional survey design. Participants provided demographic details and completed the Kannada and English (original) version of the HHQ questionnaire. To evaluate test-retest reliability, ∼50% of the participants completed the Kannada version for the second time after 15 days. Study sample: The sample comprised 103 adults with hearing loss recruited from local audiology clinics. Results: Exploratory factor analysis indicated a one-factor structure, which explained 71% of the variance in Kannada-HHQ scores. The internal consistency measured with Cronbach’s alpha was 0.96. The test-retest reliability correlations of the Kannada version with the English and with the same Kannada version re-administered after 15 days were 0.96 and 0.91, respectively. Convergent validity of the scale was confirmed by significant correlations with the Participation Scale and the Assessment of Quality of Life scales. Discriminant validity was found to be low as all the Kannada-HHQ questions were highly correlated with each other (r> 0.60). No floor and ceiling effects were identified. Conclusions: The psychometric properties of the Kannada-HHQ scale are considered to be adequate for clinical or research use.

How might travel times and mobility behavior influence multimodality in the environmental network? A structural analysis of the state capital Stuttgart
Creators: name: Wondratschek, Florian
Publisher: name: Hochschule für Wirtschaft und Umwelt Nürtingen-Geislingen
Year: 2023

description: The study is primarily intended to show the mobility behavior of Stuttgart residents in order to reveal information about the anchored structures in their choice of means of transport. Comparisons will be made between the inner-city and outer-city groups of people and they will also be clustered into different multi-mobility groups according to the 23 city districts. Furthermore, bikes and public transport are compared across districts using accessibility analyzes and a travel time analysis. This is also intended to evaluate the connectivity within the city districts, as well as the accessibility to the points of interest. It is intended to help classify and adequately understand mobility behavior in terms of mobility culture (sociologically). In addition, the results should be packaged into small profiles for the district. Ultimately, it should be examined to what extent psychological mobility behavior as a whole, together with travel times and accessibility, affects today's transport use.

Die Studie ist hauptsächlich dafür gedacht, Mobilitätsverhalten der Stuttgarter aufzuzeigen, um Hinweise auf die verankerten Strukturen bei der Verkehrsmittelwahl offenzulegen. Hierbei sollen zwischen der innerstädtischen und der außenstädtischen Personengruppe Vergleiche gezogen und sie auch nach den 23 Stadtbezirken in unterschiedlichen Multimobilitätsgruppen geclustert werden. Des Weiteren werden mit Hilfe von Erreichbarkeit- und Reisezeitenanalyse bezirksscharf die heutigen Optionen zum ÖPNV und Radverleihsystemen verglichen. Damit soll auch die Konnektivität innerhalb der Stadtbezirke bewertet werden, als auch die relative Erreichbarkeit zu ortsbedeutsamen Punkte, die insbesondere Bereiche der öffentlichen Daseinsvorsorge miteinschließt. Die Ausarbeitung soll helfen, Mobilitätsverhalten sozialpsychologisch einzuordnen und angemessen zu verstehen. Außerdem sollen die Ergebnisse in Bezirks-Steckbriefen visualisiert werden und Anforderungen an die Infrastrukturplanungen einbringen. Letztlich sollte geprüft werden, in welchem Ausmaß sich das psychologische Mobilitätsverhalten in seiner Gesamtheit mit den Reisezeiten und Erreichbarkeiten auf die heutige Verkehrsnutzung auswirkt.
THE IMPACT OF TRIPTOLIDE ON HIV-1 EXPRESSION IN BRAIN MICROGLIA IN VITRO
Creators: name: de la Parra, Eduardo
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2024

description: Infection by the lentivirus HIV-1 can only be managed with regular intake of antiretroviral
medications due to latent viral reservoirs in CD4+ cells. Upon interruption of ART, reservoirs
can reinfect other cells and so must be targeted for eradication of HIV. Some compounds, such as
triptolide, have been effective in durably silencing viral expression in these reservoirs to prevent
rebound, but they have yet to be tested in microglial cells, a macrophage in the CNS that harbors
replication-competent virus that may also be susceptible to repression. An immortalized
microglia cell line harboring HIV LTR-Tat-GFP gene was treated with various concentrations of
triptolide. GFP was quantified by flow cytometry over several weeks as a marker for viral
expression. Microglia were particularly sensitive to triptolide, which produced cytotoxic effects
in high concentrations (14-28nM) and inhibited growth in all tested concentrations. Results of
continuous treatment with the compound indicate reduced GFP expression, but its detrimental
effects on cell growth impeded long-term treatment. Patient-isolated microglia with slower
growth cycles are needed to more closely mimic in vivo conditions in the brain, but triptolide
shows some viral silencing effects. Longer treatments with triptolide and other drugs that
produce durable viral repression may be useful in devising future clinical applications in the
pursuit of an HIV cure.
Political Engagement Among Second-Generation Latinos in the United States

Year: 2024

description: This research aims to provide an intersectional approach to understanding political engagement among Second-Generation Latinos in the United States, a growing and rising electorate. Utilizing the Latino Second Generation(2012-2013) survey from the Inter-University Consortium for Political Research, I’ll evaluate the research question: how does political socialization impact Second-generation Latino students’ level of political engagement? Through a qualitative analysis, simple logistic regressions and chi-square tests will be used to evaluate the political engagement among second-generation Latinos. Consistent with the literature, second-generation Latinos in this sample demonstrate low levels of political engagement regardless of accounting for various control variables such as education, income, and gender. Future research must work to explore the multiple identities of Latinos, including assessing parents’ level of political socialization, the importance of accessing second-generation Latinos, and how higher institutions impact first-generation Latino college students.
Analysis of BirdNET and AudioMoth use in Avian Vocalization Recording and Identification
Creators: name: Beverly, Mary Alex
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2024

description: Historically avian population monitoring has been conducted by point counts – a process in which an individual stands in a specific location and counts every bird seen or heard during a predetermined time period. This method, however, can be expensive and time consuming. As described in this paper, we analyzed a new, automated method of avian population monitoring utilizing the AudioMoth – an autonomous recording unit – and BirdNET – an artificial neural network. We hypothesized that the new, automated method will produce more accurate avian identifications and has the potential to save countless hours spent in the field. To complete this analysis, we conducted two studies: (1) A Comparison of Avian Population Monitoring Methods and (2) Playback Experiments. In the first study we compared the effectiveness and accuracy of bird detection/identification via point counts versus manual recording analysis (MRA), which involved listening to recordings and identifying every species heard or seen on a spectrogram. We found that MRA resulted in the identification of significantly more birds for certain species, but was far more time consuming than point counts. Secondly, we ran the recordings through BirdNET’s graphical user interface (GUI). We found that BirdNET detected species that were not present and underrepresented species that were there. For the Playback Experiments, we completed three analyses: A) Effect of Distance and Frequency on Relative Amplitude Decay; B) Effect of Foliage on Relative Amplitude; and C) Effect of Relative Amplitude and Foliage on BirdNET confidence. For the Effect of Distance and Frequency analysis, we had two major findings: (1) relative amplitude decreased with distance as expected, and (2) the rate of decay was faster for higher frequency bird vocalizations. For the second analysis – Effect of Foliage on Relative Amplitude – we found that the densest foliage level showed the greatest decay in relative amplitude for four of the six species, and the lowest foliage level showed the most statistically significant relationship between frequency and relative amplitude deterioration. For the third analysis, we found that BirdNET confidence scores increased with the relative amplitude of the recordings, but there was little relationship between foliage level and BirdNET confidence. These findings have great implications for how researchers should best deploy AudioMoths when collecting recordings and monitoring avian populations in different ecosystems, as well as how much researchers should rely on artificial neural networks like BirdNET in providing accurate identifications.

A growth mindset intervention increases research community belonging in underrepresented minority and first-generation undergraduates
Creators: name: Myers-Miller, Isabel
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2024

description: Students who believe that intelligence is malleable rather than fixed – who hold a growth mindset – often experience greater motivation, enhanced ability to cope with challenges, and increased academic performance. Research on the effects of encouraging adoption of a growth mindset using a mindset intervention has produced mixed results. However, several studies have suggested that marginalized groups of students, who are often underrepresented in STEM and face additional stress, may benefit most from implementation of growth mindset interventions. I examined the effects of a mindset intervention on the development of research-related skills in an upper-level neuroscience course. Research-related skills are challenging to learn, and many students experience stress and frustration during the process and may give up. This is the first mindset intervention to be applied in a course focused on research-related skills development. Differences were observed based on student race and generation status, but not sex. Underrepresented minority students and first-generation students who completed the mindset intervention experienced significantly greater development of a sense of belonging in a research community compared to all other groups. First generation intervention students also experienced the greatest gains in the skill of presenting research. Given the connection between belonging and career pursuit, these findings propose the growth mindset intervention as a simple tool to increase persistence among marginalized students in STEM fields.

description: A step-stress model has received a considerable amount of attention in recent years. In the usual step-stress experiment, a stress level is allowed to increase at each step to get rapid failure of the experimental units. The expected lifetime of the experimental unit is shortened as the stress level increases. Although extensive amount of work has been done on step-stress models, not enough attention has been paid to analyze step-stress models incorporating this information. We consider a simple step-stress model and provide Bayesian inference of the unknown parameters under cumulative exposure model assumption. It is assumed that the lifetime of the experimental units are exponentially distributed with different scale parameters at different stress levels. It is further assumed that the stress level increases at each step, hence the expected lifetime decreases. We try to incorporate this restriction using the prior assumptions. It is observed that different censoring schemes can be incorporated very easily under a general setup. Monte Carlo simulations have been performed to see the effectiveness of the proposed method, and two datasets have been analyzed for illustrative purposes.

description: Several ferrocene derivatives (five mononuclear and two binuclear), including the new N-(p-chlorophenyl)-carboxamidoferrocene (1), were synthesized and their anticancer activity investigated. Two of them, 3 and 7, bearing a benzimidazole backbone were the most active against HeLa cells achieving IC50 values of ~5 μM along with 4 with a dipyridylamine ligand (~6 μM). Complex 6, also with a benzimidazole backbone, displayed slightly higher values (~11 μM). Cyclic voltammetry studies show that while the non-cytotoxic ferrocene derivatives 1, 2, and 5 follow a ferrocene-based redox behavior, derivatives 3, 4, 6, and 7 exhibit a more complex mechanism. These complex mechanisms are consistent with a more effective cytotoxic activity. Mössbauer spectroscopy parameters reflect a very small influence of the substituents.

description: ​​Dysfunctional hedonic processing is associated with negative affective states and is prevalent in numerous psychiatric illnesses such as addiction and depression. It is important then to help develop potential treatments that can prevent or revert the development of aversive affective states. In animals, affective states can be studied using taste reactivity (TR), in which appetitive and aversive orofacial expressions are studied during the intraoral (IO) infusion of a palatable or aversive solution. Moreover, changes in affective states can be assessed using Conditioned Taste Aversion (CTA), in which the infusion of a palatable saccharin solution is paired with the injection of the malaise-producing agent lithium chloride. After the pairing, rats experience aversiveness towards the previously palatable solution even in the absence of lithium chloride. The infralimbic cortex (IL) and nucleus accumbens shell (NAcSh) are key brain structures involved in hedonic processing, as optogenetic stimulation of this pathway at 20Hz reduced CTA-induced aversive responses. Here, we used TR, CTA, and local field potential electrophysiological recording to test whether transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS), a form of non-invasive brain stimulation, at 20 Hz, can revert the behavioral and brain changes induced by CTA. We found that the treatment was only effective in a subgroup of rats. Indeed, tACS stimulation improved IL-NAcSh functional connectivity disrupted by CTA in these rats. These results indicate that there are individual differences in susceptibility to tACS treatment, and future studies should assess different tACS parameters (e.g., amplitude, frequency, etc.) that may be effective in all subjects.
TITLE IX POLICIES AND NCAA DIVISION ONE UNIVERSITIES: HOW ACCESSIBLE AND INFORMATIVE ARE UNIVERSITY SEXUAL MISCONDUCT POLICIES?
Creators: name: Nugent, Marisol
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2024

description: This research delves into the accessibility, readability, and comprehensiveness of Title IX policies in universities where notable student-athlete sexual assault cases occurred. Combining simulated student information-seeking behaviors with nineteen policy content analyses, the study uncovers significant hurdles for students in accessing and understanding these policies, revealing disparities in accessibility and clarity, particularly for survivors. Notably, student-athletes are overrepresented in sexual assault cases, yet policies often lack adequate support. High-profile incidents like the Brock Turner case underscore leniency toward accused athletes, highlighting the need for accountability in athletic programs and university administrations. The study advocates for policy reform to better support and educate survivors, addressing issues such as unclear definitions, reporting inconsistencies, and healthcare gaps. Standardizing and improving Title IX policies across universities is crucial for consistent survivor support. This research emphasizes the urgency for universities to prioritize student safety, especially for student-athletes, through continuous policy evaluation and enhancement, fostering environments conducive to recovery and justice.
Untargeted metabolomics reveals dysregulation of glycine and serine coupled metabolic pathways in an ALDH1L1-dependent manner in vivo
Creators: name: Fu, Grace
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2024

description: ALDH1L1 plays a crucial role in folate metabolism, regulating the flow of one-carbon groups through the conversion of 10-formyltetrahydrofolate to tetrahydrofolate and CO2 in a NADP+-dependent reaction. The downregulation of ALDH1L1 promotes malignant tumor growth and silencing of ALDH1L1 is commonly observed in many cancers. In a previous study, Aldh1l1 knockout (KO) mice were found to have an altered liver metabotype, including significant alterations in glycine and serine. Serine and glycine play crucial roles in pathways linked to cancer initiation and progression, including one-carbon metabolism. To investigate further the metabolic role of ALDH1L1, an untargeted metabolomic analysis was conducted on the liver and plasma of both KO and wild-type (WT) male and female mice. Since ALDH1L1 affects glycine- and serine-coupled metabolites and metabolic pathways, correlation analyses between liver glycine and serine with other liver or plasma metabolites were performed for both WT and KO mice. Significantly correlated metabolites were input into MetaboAnalyst 5.0 for pathway analysis to uncover metabolic pathways coupled with serine and glycine in the presence or absence of ALDH1L1 expression. Results showed substantial alterations in pathways associated with glycine and serine following ALDH1L1 loss including amino acid metabolism, antioxidant pathways, fatty acid oxidation, and vitamin B5 metabolism. These results indicate the glycine- and serine-linked metabolic reprogramming following ALDH1L1 loss to support macromolecule biosynthesis and antioxidant defense. Additional research is required to further explore the correlation between specific alterations in these pathways and tumor growth, as well as to identify potential dietary interventions to mitigate the detrimental effects of ALDH1L1 loss.
A STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK FOR DESIGNING AND INTEGRATING GENERATIVE AI USE CASES IN SOCIO-TECHNICAL SYSTEMS
Creators: name: Mandigo, Lunden
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2024

description: The current study exists to develop a strategic framework for designing and integrating generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) use cases into socio-technical system (STS) organizations. I collected and reviewed 23 academic and popular sources about the use cases of GenAI, the positive and negative impacts of the technology, and Industry 4.0 STSs, and I found a synergy between the STS theoretical framework and GenAI capabilities. The study finds use cases of GenAI in business, academia, and finance, along with positive and negative implications for individuals, organizations, and society. Use cases of GenAI can be created with the meta-design framework for STSs and then implemented using integration of Industry 4.0 into STSs. STS organizations can design GenAI use cases at basic-, intermediate-, and meta-levels, and then should consider the integration of GenAI use cases from a vertical, horizontal, and end-to-end perspective.
Beyond Retrovirals: The Endocannabinoid System's Role in NeuroHIV-1 Infection
Creators: name: Sawaqed, Laith
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2024

description: Human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1) infection has broad central nervous system (CNS) inflammatory effects resulting from the persistent expression of HIV-1 viral proteins. The accumulation of viral proteins, inflammatory cytokines, neurotoxins in the CNS lead to synapto-dendritic damage. HIV-1 induced CNS injury is known to lead to neurophysiological complications despite effective combined anti-retroviral therapy (cART). Due to their potent anti-inflammatory effects, cannabinoids might be promising therapeutic targets for HIV-1-mediated neurotoxicity. To alleviate HIV-1 related symptoms, including pain sensitivity, anxiety, and motor dysfunction, people living with HIV-1 self-medicate with cannabis at rates that are 3x higher than the general US population. It is thus crucial to elucidate the effects of chronic THC within the context of HIV-1 infection. In this study, we investigated the effects of chronic THC exposure on anxiety, spontaneous nociception, motor coordination, and cannabinoid signaling protein expression in HIV-1 Tg26 mice, which express the HIV-1 pro-viral genes. Our results revealed that the metabolism of THC was dependent on sex and the presence of viral proteins in HIV-1 Tg26 mice. Moreover, we showed that the presence of viral proteins impaired cerebellum-based motor learning and reduced nocifensive behavior to a noxious heat stimulus in HIV-1 Tg26 mice. Interestingly, chronic THC administration had no anti-nociceptive effects but attenuated the time-dependent decline in motor coordination seen in HIV-1 Tg26 mice. On a different note, apparent anxiety measurements showed no significant alterations based on sex, genotype, or drug administered in this transgenic mouse model. Lastly, this paper revealed a sexually dimorphic, CNS region-dependent expression of cannabinoid receptors that was closely tied to the expression levels of fatty acid amide hydrolase in HIV-1 Tg26 mice.
Potential Mechanisms of Developmental Vitamin D Deficiency (DVD)-Induced Metabolic Disruption in Adult CC001xCC011 Male Mice

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2024

description: Developmental vitamin D deficiency (DVD), or vitamin D deficiency during fetal and early postnatal development, has recently been identified as a significant public health concern. DVD poses a significant threat to offspring metabolic health and is a hypothesized risk factor for adult metabolic syndrome, obesity, and type 2 diabetes. This study aims to characterize the potential mechanisms of DVD-induced metabolic disruption, including disruption of adipose tissue morphology, alterations in energy balance, and expression of growth-regulator genes. This study evaluates the hypothesis that DVD exposure will reduce Grb10 gene expression in PWAT and brain of CC001xCC011 mice and that the reduced Grb10 expression will be positively correlated with elevated adult adiposity and reduced energy expenditure.
A Change of the Guard:  How Populist Rhetoric Influences Challenger Vote Share in Republican Congressional Primaries
Creators: name: Wolf, Enzo
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2024

description: The current Republican party is one characterized by the increasing incidence of political outsiders, the decrease of efficacy of the incumbency effect, and highly divisive leadership from its head, former president Donald Trump. Since his presidency, congressional Republicans have been compelled to bend the knee to his policies and political rhetoric, or else face potential primary challenges, several of whom have been successful. In light of this unusual climate, it is important to investigate the tools used by primary challengers to both indicate their allegiance to Trump’s Republican party and differentiate themselves from Republican incumbents who are vulnerable to successful primary challenges. This study analyzes the use of populist rhetoric by these primary challengers as a strategy to win votes among primary constituencies. The results indicate that, in comparison to other factors, populist language may be a particularly powerful tool for primary challengers to garner votes. This may lend credence to the idea that the Republican voting base has an appetite for populist language at large.

description: Ensuring communication infrastructures always alive during disaster mitigation and recovery is of paramount importance. In this case, UAV will be the ideal substitute for the malfunctioning ground base station due to disaster. Henceforth, we suggest a multi-UAV and SAR collaboration model in this letter. To improve its connectivity, we propose an optimal SAR elevation angle for the multi-UAV and SARs to admin?ister larger disaster areas effectively and efficiently. We evaluate the performance of the proposed model in terms of path loss, throughput, and coverage probability. The results demonstrate that the proposed model achieves a significant enhancement in serving the SARs.

Amicus Curiae Briefs: An Insight into Outside Influences on Decisions of the Supreme Court
Creators: name: Patel, Hinal
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2024

description: The modern-day United States Supreme Court is composed of nine Justices each with a lifetime appointment. This reason for a lifetime appointment is for a Justice to be as neutral as possible when evaluating cases in the highest court in the land, which has been a place of contention in recent American history. Many scholars often wonder just how neutral a Justice can be and what the implications of this neutrality is with the natural biases of being human. One of these hypothesized influences are amicus curiae briefs. Amicus curiae is Latin for “friend of the court” and the brief, in general, is a document filed by an outside party who can show support for either the petitioner or respondent that the Justices must read before coming to their conclusion. With this outside influence, my research question is, “To what extent will the introduction of an amicus curiae brief influence the outcome of modern-day Supreme Court decisions?”

description: South Asians are greatly underrepresented in eating disorder literature. The present study addresses this gap by exploring body image concerns and eating behaviors in South Asian American women and comparing aspects of body dissatisfaction and disordered eating between South Asian women and White women. In an online survey, South Asian women (N = 86) and White women (N = 284) completed measures of body dissatisfaction, disordered eating, thin-ideal internalization, appearance-related peer pressure, adaptive perfectionism, maladaptive perfectionism, and self-compassion. Results revealed that South Asian women reported higher levels of body dissatisfaction, disordered eating, maladaptive perfectionism, and adaptive perfectionism, as well as lower levels of self-compassion than White women. Thin-ideal internalization significantly accounted for unique variance in body dissatisfaction levels and disordered eating levels in both South Asian and White women. Moreover, the interaction between body dissatisfaction and thin-ideal internalization was significant in identifying levels of disordered eating in South Asian and White women. Findings highlight the importance of South Asian representation in eating disorder research and the necessity of diversity in psychological research.

description: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between weight pressures from coaches and thin-ideal internalization in a sample of aesthetic female athletes, and how this relationship may be moderated by social media use intensity, negative attitudes toward appearance on social media, and athletic identity. Our sample consisted of 285 athletes who self-identified as semi-elite or elite, and who competed in figure skating, ballet, gymnastics, cheerleading, dance, diving, and synchronized swimming. Aesthetic female athletes showed an overall high mean level of thin-ideal internalization, as well as a significant, positive relationship between weight pressures from coaches and thin-ideal internalization. In addition, negative attitudes toward appearance on social media moderated the relationship between weight pressures from coaches and thin-ideal internalization. Athletes who reported high levels of weight pressure and elevated negative attitudes toward appearance on social media reported the highest levels of thin-ideal internalization. This study underscores the significance of investigating social media platforms and coach pressures within female aesthetic athletes.

description: This study investigated the relationship between perceived discrimination (PD), race-ethnicity, and psychosis-related symptoms in the Clinical High-Risk (CHR) population compared to healthy controls. The findings indicated that CHR participants, and more specifically Black individuals, are more likely to report higher PD compared to the controls, suggesting that CHR individuals, in general, are more vulnerable to discrimination. The study also found a relationship between combined prodromal and depressive symptoms and PD, suggesting that while ethnicity may not be associated with symptom severity, perceived discrimination is a correlate. While the study points to the idea that discrimination may play a significant role in the onset of psychosis, future research is needed to further explore the relationships between race-ethnicity, CHR populations, and variations in mental health experiences.
An Analysis of Peak Vertical Ground Reaction Force in Pediatric Patients Following Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction During Drop Vertical Jump and Gait Assessments

description: Background: Pediatric ACL injury rates are increasing faster than adults. Vertical ground reaction force (vGRF) is a biomechanical measure that changes following ACLR. Research has shown there is no correlation between peak vGRF during drop vertical jump (DVJ) and gait assessments in adult ACLR patients. The same conclusions cannot be applied to pediatric patients.
Purpose: The primary purpose of this study was to determine if there are differences in peak vGRF during DVJ assessments between pediatric ACLR patients and matched pediatric controls, and separately, between pediatric ACLR and adult ACLR patients. The secondary purpose was to determine if DVJ peak vGRF correlates with peak vGRF during walking in pediatric ACLR patients. Methods: We recruited 25 pediatric ACLR patients, 25 matched controls, and 13 adult ACLR patients. Both the pediatric groups must be sexually immature (Tanner Stage I-IV). Those who self-report Tanner Stage V were placed into the adult group. 5 walking-gait and 3 DVJ trials were collected and normalized to body weight. An ANOVA test was performed between pediatric ACLR, pediatric controls, and adult ACLR. Additionally, a Pearson product moment was performed between DVJ vGRF and gait vGRF for the pediatric ACLR group. Results: Both pediatric groups demonstrated a trend of lower vGRF magnitudes than adult ACLR participants. There was a weak correlation found between DVJ vGRF and gait vGRF (r=0.30, p=0.16). Conclusion: Pediatric patients have unique jump landing patterns compared to adults, likely due to maturation. loading patterns and magnitudes are task specific following ACLR in pediatric patients.
Dads on Death Row: A Prison Reporting Project on Fatherhood Impacted by Incarceration in North Carolina

description: This journalism project is centered around prison reporting from North Carolina Central Prison in Raleigh. The articles seek to understand and explain the experience of parenting from prison and the unique plight of fathering from North Carolina’s Death Row. They delve into
incarcerated dads’ perspectives of how their children are affected by their imprisonment by becoming indirect victims of their crimes. They tell the contrasting stories of those who have maintained and lost contact with their children through their incarceration. The interview
findings demonstrate the lack of resources and support available to men on Death Row and their children; they show the emotional toll this takes on imprisoned men. This work will advocate for incarcerated fathers and bring attention to an often-ignored aspect of imprisonment by synthesizing their stories with supportive research.
Physical Activity Predicting Evening Anxiety in Adults

description: Background: Over 10.8% of adults in the United States (U.S.) experience symptoms of anxiety (Terlizzi & Schiller, 2021). However, research indicates that as little as 20-40 minutes of aerobic physical activity (PA) can boost mood and improve anxiety levels for several hours (Mikkelsen et al., 2017). To our knowledge, there are no existing studies that examine the daily associations between PA and anxiety; therefore, we examined the association of daily engagement in PA and evening anxiety levels. We hypothesized that greater engagement in daily PA would be associated with lower evening anxiety. Based on our extensive literature search there are no studies that examine the daily associations between PA and anxiety. Methods: Participants (N=46) were fitted and trained on how to wear a research-grade accelerometer to measure PA and complete a twice-daily phone-based survey to measure self-reported PA and anxiety over a 21-day period. A two-level multi-level model examined the within- and between-person associations between daily PA participation and evening anxiety, controlling for day of the week, biological sex at birth, and morning anxiety. Results: We found a significant between-person effect of self-reported, moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) minutes predicting evening and total evening anxiety, where greater MVPA predicted lower evening and total evening anxiety. We also found a significant between-person effect of self-reported total PA predicting evening anxiety, where greater total PA predicted lower evening anxiety. We did not find any significant within-person effects of device-based or self-reported PA predicting evening anxiety. Conclusion: This is the first study to our knowledge examining PA and anxiety at the within and between-person levels. Our findings suggest that self-reported PA predicts evening anxiety at the between-person level but not at the within-person level. Our findings are important because they can help inform health professionals address population anxiety and lay the groundwork for future research to implement PA plans to enhance population anxiety management.

description: Food addiction (FA) is defined as the overconsumption of highly palatable foods despite negative life consequences. Previous research on FA has yielded inconsistent results regarding prevalence across sex, racial, and weight categories. FA has shown to be associated with eating disorders (EDs) and substance use disorders (SUDs), though no study to date has examined associations between FA and early puberty. The current study used data from the Carolina C.A.R.E.S. study to explore the differences in demographic characteristics, early puberty, ED symptoms, and SUDs in a college sample. Logistic regression models were used to examine associations between FA and various factors. Our sample (n=784) had a FA prevalence of 5.4%. The only demographic characteristic associated with FA was sex, with females being more likely than males to have FA. Additionally, FA was significantly associated with several measures of EDs and SUDs. Individuals with FA were more likely to have higher levels of disordered eating symptoms, alcohol misuse, and drug use than those without FA. Our findings provide evidence that FA affects emerging adults and indicates a need for FA education and resources on college campuses.
