description: Groundwater is essential for water supply and plays a critical role in maintaining the environmental health of freshwater and estuarine ecosystems in the Atlantic Coastal basins of New Jersey. The unconfined Kirkwood-Cohansey aquifer system and the confined Atlantic City 800-foot sand are major sources of groundwater in the area, and each faces different water-supply concerns. A groundwater flow model of the Kirkwood-Cohansey aquifer system, the Rio Grande water-bearing zone, and the Atlantic City 800-foot sand was developed and calibrated using water-level data from 148 wells and base-flow data from 22 gaging or low-flow partial record stations. The Kirkwood-Cohansey aquifer system within the Great Egg Harbor River and the Mullica River Basins was simulated on a monthly basis from 1998 through 2006. An existing regional model of the New Jersey Coastal Plain was revised to provide boundary conditions for the Great Egg Harbor and Mullica River Basin model. The groundwater flow model was used to simulate scenarios under three possible conditions: average 1998 to 2006 withdrawals (Average scenario), full-allocation withdrawals (Full Allocation scenario), and projected 2050-demand withdrawals (2050 Demand scenario).

description: The Social Skills Improvement System (SSiS; Gresham & Elliott, 2008) is a multi-stage, broadband system for assessing children in Preschool through 12th grade. Two aspects of this system were analyzed in this study: (1) the Performance Screening Guides (PSGs), a brief criterion-referenced measure, and (2) the Rating Scales (SSiS-RS), a more extensive rating system.  Two samples of Australian teachers in Bundamba (n = 15) and South Brisbane (n = 30) implemented the SSiS on elementary school students. This study has the following objectives: (1) Compare the psychometric properties of US and Australian samples and (2) determine if the Australian sample displays appropriate psychometric evidence to substantiate the use of such a tool in this population.  Results indicated that internal consistency reliability was good for both samples across the domains and subdomains. For some of the domains, reliability was significantly higher in the Australian sample compared to the US sample. With respect to content validity, there were some differences with regard to which social skills each sample of teachers believed were important. Teachers in the Australian sample typically rated areas as being more important compared to the US sample. With regard to internal structure validity, correlations among PSGs and SSiS-RS domains were similar between the two different countries. In addition, conditional probability analyses indicated the PSGs work appropriately as the first stage of a multiple gating procedure. The confirmatory factor analyses indicated that the three-factor model had poor fit to the data in both samples.  There were few differences between the factor loadings of the two samples. Lastly, in terms of validity evidence based on relations to other variables, the individual PSG scores demonstrated low to moderate ability to predict students who displayed difficulties on corresponding areas of the Queensland Two Year Diagnostic Net, a monitoring system based on teacher judgment.  Overall, the United States and Australian data demonstrated similar results for the areas explored. The results indicated adequate psychometric evidence for most of the areas measured.

Range: The Korean field mouse commonly occurs throughout Korea, except in remote islands (Fig. 128).
Remarks: Due to morphological differences such as the number of mammae, skull, and teeth, Jones (1956) promoted peninsulae to a distinct species. The presence of three region-specific mtDNA types of ancient divergence likely resulted from the regions of Primorye, Siberia and the Korean Peninsula functioning as refugia for A. peninsulae during a substantial period of the Quaternary glacial ages (Serizawa et al. 2002). According to a phylogenetic study based on cytochrome b, the Korean population is closer to populations from Shandong and Ningxia, China than from those of the Russian Far East (Sakka et al. 2010). A numerical taxonomy and genetic study suggests the occurrence of two subspecies (A. p. peninsulae and A. p. sowerbyi) in Korea (Heo 2002).

Year: 2014

description: The purpose of the current research was to explore change in student outcomes after participating in an intervention addressing healthy lifestyle habits as well as body acceptance. This intervention program utilized cognitive dissonance strategies in order to promote body acceptance and reject the culturally sanctioned standards of beauty, namely the thin ideal. This study examined 18 adolescent females who attended a large public high school in central New Jersey. Students were given measures at pretest and posttest assessing thin ideal internalization, body dissatisfaction, self-esteem, perceptions regarding ability to achieve long-term goals, and experience of school problems. Independent paired T-tests were utilized to assess significant changes from pretest to posttest. Additionally, ANCOVA and Chi Square analyses were utilized to assess demographic variables that may have been associated with significant change. This study yielded a wide variety of results. Significant changes from pretest to posttest were detected for thin ideal internalization, body dissatisfaction, and experience of school problems. Both age and grade levels in school were associated with some of these detected changes. This study was exploratory in nature and more research with a larger population and further adaptations to implementation within a school context is needed. Results may encourage current school-based practitioners to implement evidence-based intervention programs in a way that fits their school’s needs, while producing positive changes for students.

description: In the US, 9.2% of public school children are English language learners (ELLs), and ELL enrollment has grown 50% over the past decade, outpacing non-ELL enrollment. In California (CA), a quarter of the school-aged children in the public schools are ELLs. ELLs are twice as likely as non-ELLs to live in poverty and more likely to be misidentified than non-ELLs for learning disabilities (LDs) such as reading disorders (RD). Learning disabilities and their misidentification in ELLs further contributes to ELL inequality in English proficiency and educational attainment, leading to income and health disparity. Reducing education-related risks for poor health outcomes in ELLs requires efforts to better understand the link between educational attainment and health disparity in this population, and early identification of LD in ELLs. Although there are good predictors of RD in English monolinguals, extending these to ELLs is complicated by variability in language experience, lack of English proficiency, variability in the native languages spoken by ELLs, and the lack of normed measures (except Spanish) and qualified practitioners. One third of all US ELLs are in CA, making these issues particularly significant for the state and UC, while at the same time providing the opportunity for UC to be a leader in addressing these issues. The short-term goals of the current proposal are to: (1) setup an innovative, multicampus, cross-disciplinary collaboration bridging education, cognitive sciences, medicine and policy, and (2) perform a series of pilot studies to examine the links between academic and health outcomes in ELLs and evaluate individualized prescription of reading interventions that will prepare us to compete for federal center and collaborative research grants in the near future. The long-term goal is for the proposed UC center to be a national leader in ‘Precision Ed-Health’, and tackle issues associated with education and health disparity in underrepresented populations, with an initial emphasis on early identification and intervention of children at risk for learning challenges. Our central mission includes performing high quality research and providing training, services and advocacy. Such efforts will ultimately enhance the lives of children and families, while addressing major issues in CA and the US, including the cost of education, difficulties of educating diverse populations including ELLs, and the health consequences of poor school performance.
Case study analyses of cognitive behavioral interventions with bereaved anxious youth

description: The death of a loved one is a major life event that can be stressful and may increase risk for mental health problems in youth (Cerel, Fristad, Verducci, Weller, & Weller, 2006; Kaplow, Saunders, Angold, & Costello, 2010; Kranzler, Shaffer, Wasserman, & Davies, 1990). There is still much to learn regarding effective interventions for youth who are experiencing the adverse effects of loss. Two cases were intensively reviewed to explore how clients expressed, and how therapists accommodated around, bereavement themes in a course of an empirically-supported cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for anxious youth. In one case, where the youth met criteria for principal generalized anxiety disorder, bereavement-focused strategies were incorporated secondarily into a standard manual-based protocol for anxiety. For the second youth who was treated primarily for bereavement, general CBT principles and strategies were applied to target bereavement-related themes, but a specific manualized treatment was not used. Intensive review of each case revealed bereavement themes that may contribute to bereavement-related distress, including: (1) depressive dysfunctional thoughts about the self, life, and the world; (2) specific anxious dysfunctional thoughts about the grief reaction; (3) fear of abandonment; (4) depressive avoidant behaviors, such as withdrawal from relationships or activities; (5) avoidance of loss reminders; and (6) problems integrating the loss. These bereavement themes were found to be prominent in the earlier part of treatment and were targeted using cognitive behavioral interventions, including bereavement-related exposures, behavioral activation, and proactive problem solving. This study supports the use of a CBT approach to conceptualizing and treating bereavement issues in anxious youth. The principles and framework of CBT appear to appropriately target the dysfunctional thoughts, avoidance behaviors, and poor integration of the loss that work to complicate the grieving process.

description: The goal of the UC Drug Discovery Center (DDC) is to enable the effective translation of UC’s world-class research into new therapeutics by creating a supportive multi-disciplinary environment for drug development, linking core infrastructure, educational resources and pilot funding on all of the UC sites (initiating with 5 Health campuses and expanding to the full UC system). DDC aims: (1) To support the progression of drug development projects from fundamental research to Candidate stages with i) mentorship from experienced professionals, ii) multi-disciplinary team creation, and iii) pilot funding. (2) To support drug discovery training by i) creating a mini-fellowship for graduate students for immersion into DDC-supported projects and acquisition of technical skills, ii) establishing a central database for drug discovery related educational opportunities (courses, experiential training and seminars) for faculty and trainees of all stages. (3) To support the research enterprise by enabling scholarly contribution and implementing a tool to access existing drug discovery related core facilities across the UC system. This will improve access to facilities to progress novel approaches and increase facility utilization. (4) To establish partnerships with industry and foundations and develop a strategy for securing extramural funding for future sustainability. DDC will act as a single-point of contact for partners and will facilitate collaborations with UC researchers, thus supporting the growth of California’s life sciences eco-system. Industry has downsized its internal research dramatically in recent years, and academic-industry partnerships have become the accepted approach to translating fundamental research into novel therapeutics. The University of California has not exploited this opportunity to support drug discovery and enable partnerships. UC lags behind peer institutions such as Harvard, Johns Hopkins, Yale. It is urgent that we address this gap. This initiative will lead to i) increased effectiveness in translating research into novel drugs ii) development of high-value drug candidates for licensing, iii) increased competitiveness for partnerships from private and public sources, iv) increased multi-disciplinary cross-campus collaborations, v) improved training in drug discovery for students and faculty. In addition, DDC will fuel economic growth in California through start-up companies that often form around promising therapeutic approaches.
The use of evidence-based strategies to address the federal wellness policy

description: Existing research has demonstrated a correlation between eating and physical activity behaviors in children and their academic achievement. Through legislation enacted in 2004, known as the Federal Wellness Policy (the Policy), public schools have been mandated to address physical activity and nutrition education. Although the Policy elevates schools’ roles in wellness, the Policy itself does not set forth standards or guidelines regarding the type or quality of programming schools should employ to address these areas of wellness. The current study addressed the policy-to-practice gap in school wellness by examining district-level organization surrounding the Federal Wellness Policy, schools’ use of evidence-based programs to address the Policy, the reported barriers to implementing evidence-based nutrition education and physical activity programs, and the components and information contained in a resource guide for school decision-makers that increase the likelihood of implementation of evidence-based nutrition education and physical activity programs. These four areas of inquiry were explored through a 22-question phone interview with 15 school decision-makers. Results indicated that schools lack organization around the issue of wellness, tend not to implement evidence-based nutrition education or physical activity programs, and report time and the low prioritization of wellness in comparison to academics as the most significant barriers to implementing such programs. Furthermore, school decision-makers expressed unanimous interest in a resource guide that would address reported barriers to implementing wellness programming in schools. In light of these findings, it is recommended that in order to increase the health of the nation’s youth through evidence-based wellness programming, 1) knowledge and the link between achievement and wellness must be strengthened for school decision-makers and disseminated more effectively, and 2) feasible implementation suggestions for schools that respect the competing pressures they face must be provided.

description: Of those women who have received a diagnosis of invasive breast cancer, on average, 30% will develop a recurrence within five years. There is substantial evidence to suggest that exercise protects women against the development of an initial breast cancer. Why breast cancer survivors sometimes relapse however, is poorly understood. This innovative study will attempt for the first time to examine whether the protective effect of physical exercise activity observed among healthy women can be extended to include breast cancer survivors.

 The specific aims of this study are: 1) to determine the feasibility of conducting a large-scale intervention study and 2) to preliminarily evaluate the hypothesis that physical exercise activity patterns after a primary diagnosis are associated with a reduced likelihood of a relapse. The specific aims of this study will be assessed by obtaining demographic information, medical history, body weight, diet, and physical exercise activity patterns (including recreational, occupational, and activities associated with daily living) via telephone interview. We will conduct our study on a population of approximately 3,500 women diagnosed with a primary breast cancer. From this population, we will identify patients who have relapsed (cases) and compare their responses to a group of women who have not relapsed (controls).

 One of the unfortunate consequences of relapse is that many women die as a result of their disease. We plan to examine whether women who die from a relapse are different (with respect to physical exercise activity habits) from women who are surviving. This task will be accomplished by selecting a subset of patients who have relapsed but are still living and comparing their responses to those of a close family member. Once the validity of this measure has been established, we can design future studies that will include critical information about all women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer.

 This study will contribute significantly to our understanding of the relationship between physical exercise activity and risk of breast cancer recurrence. By establishing this relationship, we hope to provide practical advice to women who have already been diagnosed with breast cancer on how they may reduce their risk of developing a recurrence through physical exercise activities. Our research has a direct impact on the missions and goals of the Breast Cancer Research Program by providing a means to reduce morbidity and mortality among women who have already been afflicted with this disease.

Design, modeling, and analysis of visual MIMO communication

description: Today’s pervasive devices are increasingly being integrated with light emitting diode  (LED) arrays, that serve the dual purpose of illumination and signage, and photo-  receptor arrays in the form of pixel elements in a camera. The ubiquitous use of light  emitting arrays (LEA) and cameras in today’s world calls for building novel systems and  applications where such light emitting arrays can communicate information to cameras.  This thesis presents the design, modeling and analysis of a novel concept called visual  MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output) where cameras are used for communication. In  visual MIMO, information transmitted from light emitting arrays are received through  the optical wireless channel and decoded by a camera receiver. The paradigm shift in  visual MIMO is the use of digital image analysis and computer vision techniques to  aid in the demodulation of information, contrary to the direct processing of electrical  signals as in traditional radio-frequency (RF) communication.    The unique aspect of camera communications is that visual perspective distor-  tions dominate over distance-based attenuation, multipath fading and other impor-  tant properties of the radio-frequency (RF) wireless channels. In visual MIMO, cam-  era receivers together with LEAs allow multiple parallel channels as in RF MIMO to  achieve throughput gains, but these gains depend on the perspective—orientation and  distance—between the transmitter and receiver. Camera receivers also allow for a large  eld-of-view for signal reception and can facilitate tolerating mobility through intelligent  tracking techniques to locate the light emitting transmitter in view. This dissertation  studies these key aspects of visual MIMO communication, and has been structured into  three parts. The first part derives the perspective dependent channel model and infor-  mation capacity of visual MIMO communication, along with a case-study of capacity of  camera communication using display screens as transmitters. Part two discusses per-  spective dependent throughput enhancement techniques that exploit the MIMO array  structure and uses vehicle-vehicle (V2V) communication as a running example. Finally,  part three discusses transmitter localization techniques that help adapt to mobility in  visual MIMO channels. The inferences and lessons learned through this thesis open  up novel opportunities to use cameras as an integral part of a communication system.  Efforts have already been initiated by the optical wireless communication community  to standardize camera communications, and such advances attest to the importance of  using cameras for communications.

Range: The Jeju striped field mouse is endemic to Jeju Island (Jo et al. 2012; Fig. 129).
Remarks: The striped field mice on Jeju Island was first considered a subspecies of A. agrarius. Koh (1986, 1987, 1991) and Koh and Yoo (1992) reported an apparent distinction in morphological characters and mtDNA restriction fragment length polymorphisms between chejuensis and agrarius coreae. Koh et al. (1997) compared morphometric characteristics and also reached the conclusion that among the eight subspecies (agrarius, ningpoensis, pallidior, chevrieri, insulaemus, manchuricssssus, coreae, chejuensis) of the striped field mice in Asia, chejuensis had a distinct (largest body size) difference supporting its status of different species. Koh and Yoo (1992) suggested that chejuensis had distinct mtDNA haplotypes and elevated it to the species level as Apodemus chejuensis Johnson and Jones, 1955. Oh and Mori (1998) showed post-mating isolation between chejuensis and agrarius, through very low reproductive success rate of the first crossbred generation notably linked to an anomalous reproductive organ in F 1 males.
Although striped field mice from Wan Island have been assigned to coreae, these mice have a large body size and cluster with chejuensis in morphometric analyses (Koh 1986, 1989) as in genetic analysis (Koh et al. 2000). It is possible that the mice from Wan Island were introduced to Jeju Island. Indeed, Koh et al. (2000) found that most Wan Island specimens clustered with the Jeju Island population; but other Wan Island specimens belonged to another subgroup from mainland Korea.

description: Die exekutiven Funktionen benennen ein kognitives Konstrukt, welches verschiedene Kontroll- und Regulationsprozesse beinhaltet. Mehrere Studien konnten den Zusammenhang der exekutiven Funktionen mit dem Bildungserfolg aufzeigen. Daneben werden sie mit Lernschwierigkeiten und Teilleistungsstörungen in Verbindung gebracht. Meist werden sie in die drei basalen Bereiche der Inhibition, des Arbeitsgedächtnisses und der kognitiven Flexibilität eingeteilt. Die vorliegende Entwicklungsarbeit setzte sich mit der Förderung der Inhibition auf Klassenebene in der Regelschule auseinander. Das entstandene Produkt enthält Achtsamkeitsübungen sowie Spiele. Es wurde in einer zweiten Primarschulklasse während sieben Wochen erprobt. Mittels drei Einzelfallstudien wurden die Auswirkungen der Klassenintervention auf die Inhibition einzelner Kinder untersucht. Es zeigte sich, dass die Unterrichtsstörungen in der Kreissequenz deutlich abnahmen und das aufgabenbezogene Verhalten während der Stillarbeit stark zunahm.

The population dynamics of lag phases and collapses

description: Exotic species and collapses of native species pose equivalently severe threats to global biodiversity and ecological health. Much work has been done to improve our understanding of the patterns and processes associated with biological invasions and population declines. However, due to the complexity of the issues posed to conservation and management, we still lack fundamental knowledge about their population dynamics. Early-action is often recommended to deal with both situations, which, as has been argued, requires minimal detail about the population biology of the target species. While this holds true in many cases, it does not justify ignoring population biology as a whole. Indeed, by analyzing data about past events we can greatly improve our ability to manage future ones. Furthermore, applying powerful tools and concepts from other disciplines can help develop expectations for general trends across taxa and systems.   In this dissertation I explore statistical methods to identify and describe poorly explained population growth patterns, using both exotic and native species. I used a large, uncommonly complete database of citizen-collected data and developed efficient, robust methods to quantify population lag phases and collapses. I found lags—periods of low population growth rates relative to future growth—to be common in exotic birds in Hawaii. I found seemingly spontaneous population collapses—>90% declines in abundance within a specified timeframe—in nearly half of the populations investigated. I expand on the details of the method I developed for collapses to account for variation about important portions of any population’s growth patterns; specifically estimated maximum abundances and the duration of observed declines. I applied this method to endemic Hawaiian forest birds to display its utility and assess limitations.   These results have important implications for conservation management, and yield novel conclusions about the population biology of exotic and native species. By establishing methods to classify populations experiencing lags or collapses, we can begin to develop models to anticipate their occurrence prescribe well prepared management actions and conservation strategies. With more knowledge of the spatial dynamics of exotic populations we can strategically apply targeted control measures in efficient, cost-effective ways.

A. agrarius ningpoensis: Corbet, 1978 p.137; Yoon, 1992 p.82.
Range: As the most common small mammal in Korea, the distribution of A. agrarius covers most of the Korean Peninsula and most islands (except Jeju Island; Jo et al. 2017b; Fig. 130).
Remarks: Jones and Johnson (1965) reported four subspecies of A. agrarius principally based on body color and size: mantchuricus in the extreme northern part of the peninsula, pallescens in the coastal lowlands of southern Korea; coreae throughout a significant portion of the peninsula; and chejuensis on Jeju Island. Koh (1986, 1987, 1991) and Koh and Yoo (1992) proposed placing pallenscens as a synonym of A. agrarius coreae. Populations on the mainland and the two islands, Jeju Island and Wan Island had significant genetic differences (Koh 1986). However, three mainland localities shared several haplotypes, suggesting a considerable gene flow among populations. A morphometric study of these populations found two distinct morphotypes (coreae, small-sized group; chejuensis, large-sized group) and implied different species (Koh 1986). Recent microsatellite analysis (Jo et al. 2017b) showed that populations of striped field mouse on Heuksan Island, Jeju Island, and mainland clustered in three different groups. Additional studies are needed to resolve the taxonomy of Apodemus in Korea.

Sites of instruction

description: Sites of Instruction: Education, Kinship and Nation in African American Literature” explores education as a site of racial subjection and identity making in African American Literature and culture.  Through close readings of selected narratives, I explore how writers use education to represent the navigation, and imagining, of the relationships between community, the individual and the nation.  In chapter one, I explore Sutton Griggs and Frances Harper’s post-bellum narratives of education as attempts to recuperate both Southern landscapes and kinship through articulation of the black teacher as communal healer and sacrificial leader. Griggs and Harper represent scenes of instruction which engage with education as a negotiation between generations, occurring within intimate scenes of domesticity, and on larger public stages. In chapter two, I identify black teachers, and intellectuals, in flight as a symptomatic response to the constraints and contradictions of early twentieth century racial uplift ideology, with a focus on Nella Larsen’s Quicksand and Claude McKay’s Home to Harlem.  In the face of anxieties about race purity, national borders and miscegenation, Larsen and McKay center characters whose immigrant and marginal status provide alternative insights, and perspectives, that critique and challenge conservative discourses of both citizenship and black instruction.  The third chapter focuses on the literary production of narratives about school desegregation by exploring critically neglected civil rights fiction by Ntozake Shange and Thulani Davis. Shange’s Betsey Brown and Davis’s 1959 articulate the meaning of desegregation through an exploration of adolescent subjectivity and gender. The prominence of children’s voices, within civil rights fiction, suggests that children can write a different narrative of their political agency and participation in school desegregation politics, one that moves beyond both a damage thesis of black childhood and surface representations of black children’s innocence. My epilogue contemplates the meaning, and construction, of post- Civil Rights subjectivities and communities by looking at representations of educational spaces in the works of Lorene Cary, Sapphire and Andrea Lee.  I ultimately conclude that fictions of education embody educational history and also propose narrative as a source of pedagogical intervention.
Rural home-based self-employment

description: This study explores how women in Central Sulawesi of Indonesia experience power and value transformations through self-employment. Based on the subjective experience of female fried onion producers and sarong weavers, this study suggests that the integration of women into home-based industries generate benefits beyond economic survival. Self-employment has led women’s work to be recognized as “real work” and it has increased women’s personal capabilities. This change has led self-employed women to position themselves as partners of their husbands, as their voices have become more acknowledged at work and in the home.   This study indicates the existence of a new dimension of rural women, as they have become agents of social change by participating in micro self-employment. These women have developed self-awareness of their personal resources and have attempted to create a new role for themselves by challenging and transforming the patriarchal structure of their households. Through their initiative and commitment to developing their income-earning capacities, these women have gained more respect and authority that enable them to participate more outspokenly in their families’ affairs due to the improved power relations between their husbands and themselves. Through conducting in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, and participant observations, this study shows that the contributions of rural women through home-based self-employment goes beyond the individual and her family; owners provide job opportunities for other women, and the choice of producing fried onions and weaving sarongs helps to preserve the specialties of the local culture.  Rural women’s contribution through self-employment is valued beyond the material entity that these women bring in to their households. They have made the commitment to endure the risks of small-scale home-based micro-businesses as a way to diversify their family’s source of income. They have thereby increased their visibility in their own homes and in society. By embracing their strengths through self-employment, rural women have been able to overcome the power barriers that used to impede their advancement in economic and social lives. By using the cultural influences as one of motivations to engage in ‘non-traditional’ work, these women are continuing to improve their capabilities in the face of persistent challenges.
