description: American alligators (Alligator mississippiensis) possess flexible cognitive abilities. Given these cognitive abilities, we hypothesized the capacity for flexible learning is significantly affected by ecological factors such as environmental temperature and contaminants. Additionally, we reasoned that the same ecological modifying inherent cognitive capacities also shape other traits in adaptive ways. In order to explore these relationships we utilized three separate studies divided between four chapters. In the first three chapters our research employed serial-reversal experiments to quantify the total number of errors in a series of discrimination problems to investigate the effect of temperature and environmental contaminates on inherit cognitive abilities. Chapter 4 is devoted to an investigation of the effect of these same environmental contaminates on thermoregulatory behavior and metabolism. Specifically, experiments presented in chapter one investigated the visual learning abilities of juvenile American alligators in order to determine the degree of complex learning. Chapter 2 describes the effect of temperature on the performance of juvenile American alligators in a spatial discrimination task by tasking animals to complete a series of ten reversal at two environmentally relevant temperatures. The successful development of both protocols led us to ask the question of whether or not we could apply a similar behavioral assessment of learning and memory abilities in animals exposed to environmental contaminants. Recognizing that organochlorines still contaminate the waters inhabited by American alligators, Chapter 3 explores the affect in ovo exposure to DDE has on learning and behavior in hatchling American alligators. Specifically, we investigated if DDE affects cognition of American alligators by comparing the performance of individuals that were exposed as embryos to the performance of control individuals in a spatial discrimination task. Organochlorines, such as DDE, can bioaccumulate and are therefore particularly problematic for top predators. Therefore, it is important to know if standard metabolism or preferred body temperatures are perturbed by DDE exposure because these changes may affect the overall health of animals, their reproductive success, and the health and growth rates of hatchlings. Therefore, in Chapter 4 we designed a study to measure changes in the thermoregulatory system and metabolism of animals exposed to DDE.

description: Clinical relevance: Home-isolation and social distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic caused increased use of digital devices, posing a greater risk of developing digital eye strain-related symptoms. Eye-care professionals should educate patients about limiting screen time and managing digital eye strain symptoms. Background: This study aimed to evaluate the COVID-19 isolation’s impact on digital device use by comparing hours spent on digital devices before and during the 24-hour curfew in Saudi Arabia, while assessing the symptoms associated with digital eye strain. Methods: A self-reported questionnaire was used to compare the total hours per day, either continuous or intermittent, spent on digital devices during and before curfew, and the association of these durations with digital eye strain. Results: A total of 1,939 participants, (mean ± SD: 33 ± 12.2 years and 72% women) were recruited. Results showed a significant difference between usage duration before and during curfew. Digital eye strain incidence was 78% during the curfew. Chi-squared analysis indicated most symptoms are associated with usage duration and employment status. Multivariate analysis revealed significant associations between digital eye strain and the following factors: using more than one device (odds ratio 1.208, 95% confidence interval: 1.068-1.3661), age, optical correction, employment status, gender, using rewetting drops, and usage duration. Conclusions: In this population, prolonged use of digital devices significantly increased during home-isolation. Digital eye strain incidence increased during curfew. Regular eye exams should be encouraged to ensure the use of optimum prescription use and meet the specific visual demands required for the use of digital devices. Eye-health strategies and awareness campaigns should be employed on the importance of regular eye exams, decreasing screen time, practising the 20-20-20 rule, and the use of rewetting drops to help reduce the symptoms of digital eye strain during this period.

description: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between living in a female-headed, one-parent family and the family's practice of prevention behaviors.  The family is a client of nursing.  However, a dearth of knowledge exists on the practice of prevention behaviors in families.  Since a scarcity of knowledge exists on this phenomenon, a factor-searching study was conducted.  The tenets of ground theory, particularly constant comparative analysis and theoretical sampling, were followed to collect and analyze the data.  Participants in the study included female-headed, one-parent families as well as data sources which provided a societal perspective on the phenomenon.  The completed study included 59 female-headed, one-parent families, 21 professionals, one therapy group, and a review of the literature as well as other types of media.  Nonstructured interviews were conducted with the families and professionals.  Each family also completed a health diary and a card sort.  Nonparticipant observation was used to collect data at the group meetings.  The grounded theory that emerged is the theory of transcending options in which the family, through the woman, is able to exceed the societal norms for a female-headed, one-parent family.  This theory is on a continuum and is cumulative.  The beginning point of the theory is choosing options and the intermediate point is seeking options.  The societal factors influencing the family members' interpretation of their situation are integrated into this theory.  The family members' prevention behaviors are a subset of their life circumstances which are described by this theory.  The implications for nursing are twofold.  First, the theory can be applied to individual families in order to facilitate their growth.  Second, this theory has implications for social action that will benefit female-headed, one-parent families.

Generation of low ?18O silicic magmas, Bruneau-Jarbidge Volcanic Center, Yellowstone hotspot: evidence from zircons, including oxygen isotopes, U-Th-Pb dating, and melt inclusions

description: The Yellowstone hotspot is characterized by magmas with both normal and low 18O/16O ratios. The production of isotopically light magmas at the Heise volcanic center (6.6-4.5 Ma) and on the Yellowstone volcanic plateau (2.1 Ma to present) appears to be  associated with cycles of multiple caldera-forming eruptions that lead to deep burial and remelting of hydrothermally altered rhyolites. At the Miocene Bruneau-Jarbidge eruptive center in the central Snake River Plain, all of the eruptive products are isotopically light, present no evident cyclical behavior, and increase in mafic content through progressive eruptions. This study describes the results of oxygen isotopic analyses and U-Th-Pb dating on individual crystals of zircon from Bruneau-Jarbidge eruptive center (BJEC) lavas erupted  between 11 and 8 Ma. These mostly post-date the large-volume ignimbrites of the Cougar Point Tuff (CPT) erupted between 12.8-10.5 Ma. 109 zircons were analyzed with the Cameca IMS-1280 ion microprobe at the University of Wisconsin to determine ?18O of  cores, rims, and interiors. U-Th-Pb ages for zircon spots previously analyzed for oxygen were determined on the Stanford SHRIMP together with trace element analyses including Ti.  Zircons from all rhyolite lavas from the BJEC have low ?18O values. The ?18O analyses average 1.47 o/oo, with values ranging from -3.41 o/oo to 8.10 o/oo. The overall eruptive series of the lavas demonstrate that the ?18O of the zircons began with an average value of -0.47  o/oo in the first erupted lava, and ultimately rose to an average value of 1.81 o/oo with the eruption of Dorsey Creek rhyolite at the final stages of the BJEC. The rhyolite lava with the highest average ?18O in zircon was Sheep Creek rhyolite (3.3 o/oo), erupted near the end of the sequence, still nearly 1 o/oo below nonaltered values. Ti-in-zircon temperatures average 930 °C, with values as low as 817 °C and as high as 996 °C. This indicates the sustained high temperature of the magmatic system, even following the large-volume eruptions of the CPT.

description: Magnolia virginiana (M. virginiana) L., a native North American plant, is globally cultivated for shade and ornamental purposes, including in Saudi Arabia. This study analyzed the chemical diversity and biological activity of non-polar extracts (n-hexane and diethyl ether) from M. virginiana flowers. The major components identified by gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GC-MS) analysis were aromatic and aliphatic esters, triterpenes, steroids, and phenolic acids. The total phenolic content (TPC) of n-hexane and diethyl ether extracts was determined to be 29.66 and 29.44 mGAE/g, respectively. The extracts showed strong antioxidant activity, with the diethyl ether extract having more reducing power than the n-hexane extract. The diethyl ether extract also showed greater Trolox equivalent values in total antioxidant capacity (TAC) and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assays, but the n-hexane extract exhibited higher metal chelating activity (MCA) and free radical scavenging activity (DPPH-SA) levels. The diethyl ether extract displayed stronger antimicrobial potential than the n-hexane extract, particularly against Staphylococcus saprophyticus, with a zone of inhibition diameter (ZID) of 20.0 ± 0.3 mm. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), minimum biocidal concentration (MBC), minimum biofilm inhibitory concentration (MBIC), and minimum biofilm eradication concentration (MBEC) values were 0.78, 1.56, 1.56, and 3.125 mg/mL, respectively.

description: In the current work the relation between the newly formed, cholinergic membrane receptors and the Ach-induced contracture, the relation between fibrillation and denervation contracture, and the nature of the cholinergic and adrenergic receptors at end-plate-free sites were investigated in the denervated anterior gracilis muscle of the rat.  The anterior gracilis muscle of the rat was selected as the test object because it is anatomically suited for the study of the pharmacological characteristics of the newly-formed receptors of endplate-free regions of the denervated muscle.  A new microdrop technic was developed for the topical application of 0.5 uml volumes of drug solution to the membrane.  Ach sensitivity after denervation develops at a uniform rate over the entire surface of the denervated anterior gracilis muscle.  Depolarization is quantitatively related to the concentration of topically applied Ach, and the degree of depolarization is proportional to the magnitude of contracture.  Denervation contracture of Ach-stimulated muscle is not the consequence of a massive discharge of a massive discharge of fibrillatory potentials, but is a non-propagated response produced by a persistent, local depolarization.  The anterior gracilis muscle is pharmacologically unique because the junctional receptors of the normal muscle and the newly-formed receptors on the end-plate-free regions of the muscle are muscarinic as well as nicotinic in character.  Thus, the Ach-produced contracture of the anterior gracilis muscle denervation is the result of the development of both muscarinic and nicotinic receptors over the entire surface of the muscle.  In contract to the effects of Ach on the denervated skeletal muscle, catecholamines applied topically do not produce either depolarization or contracture.  The only adrenergic response elicited by the topical application of catecholamines is an increase in the rate of discharge of fibrillatory potentials. However, the catecholamines administered intra-arterially produce both depolarization and contracture.  Unlike Ach-induced contracture, it does not appear that catecholamine-induced contracture of denervated muscle is the result of the development of new adrenergic receptors on the membrane.

Στην περίπτωση της διδασκαλίας των μαθηματικών, υπάρχει ανάγκη το περιεχόμενο και οι μέθοδοι διδασκαλίας που συνδέονται με τη χρήση ψηφιακών υλικών να εκσυγχρονιστούν, προκειμένου αφενός να συμβαδίζουν με τις νέες τεχνολογικές εξελίξεις και αφετέρου να φέρουν θετικά αποτελέσματα. Μια σύντομη επισκόπηση της βιβλιογραφίας αναδεικνύει ότι ελάχιστες, σχεδόν μηδαμινές, είναι οι έρευνες που έχουν διεξαχθεί σχετικά με την αποτίμηση, από την πλευρά των παιδιών, της ενσωμάτωσης των ψηφιακών υλικών στη διδασκαλία.

Η έρευνα πραγματοποιείται σε δείγμα 14 μαθητών σε τρεις φάσεις. Καταγράφονται στην αρχή οι αντιλήψεις των παιδιών για τα ψηφιακά παιχνίδια, στη συνέχεια πραγματοποιείται διδασκαλία με την ενσωμάτωση και χρήση ψηφιακού υλικού και στο τέλος καταγράφεται η εμπειρία τους. Ως ερευνητικό εργαλείο αξιοποιούνται ερωτηματολόγια. Τα αποτελέσματα δείχνουν ότι οι μαθητές εμπλέκονται ενεργά στη διδασκαλία των μαθηματικών και παρουσιάζουν θετική άποψη απέναντι στα ψηφιακά παιχνίδια και τα μαθηματικά.
description: The application of digital materials and their impact on the learning process has been widely recognized, as it is argued that it lends itself to creating an appropriate learning environment. In the case of teaching mathematics, there is a need to modernize the content and teaching methods associated with the use of digital materials, in order to keep up with new technological developments and to bring positive results. A brief review of the literature reveals that little, if any, research has been conducted on children's assessment of the integration of digital materials into teaching. Therefore, this paper investigates the opinions of 3rd grade elementary school children regarding the role and use of digital games in teaching equivalent fractions in mathematics. The research is carried out on a sample of 14 students in three phases. Children's perceptions of digital games are recorded at the beginning, then teaching with the integration and use of digital materials takes place, and finally their experience is recorded. Questionnaires are used as a research tool. The results show that students are actively involved in mathematics teaching and have a positive attitude towards digital games and mathematics.

description: Subsidence is a major consequence of underground mining. Over 1000 underground coal mines are operating in the United States and affect a surface area of more than 1 million hectares. Surface subsidence associated with underground coal mining is expected to remain a major environmental and engineering issue. The comprehensive subsidence engineering and management to characterize the nature, extent, and  magnitude of expected and actual surface displacements are developed while simultaneously identifying subsidence impacts with high risk levels and/or severe  consequences. This is a difficult task and one that is currently limited by shortcoming in data collection and assessment. Differential Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (DInSAR) is a growing technology in surface displacement monitoring and has the potential to improve the efficiency and accuracy of subsidence monitoring by significantly increasing the quantity and accuracy of measurement data.

description: To compare alternative methods of recording body temperature (BT) with rectal temperature (RT) in clinically healthy dogs. This prospective study included 97 healthy mixed-breed dogs (43 females and 54 males). The gingival temperature (GT) was collected by using a human non-contact, infrared forehead thermometer, while ocular temperature (OT) and metacarpal pad temperature (MPT) were obtained with an infrared thermal camera. The degree of agreement was determined using the Bland-Altman method, with RT considered as the reference temperature. A total of 382 readings were obtained from four different anatomical regions. The mean difference and their 95% limits of agreement for the differences between RT−GT, RT−OT, and RT−MPT were 0.18°C (−0.95 to 1.32°C), 0.79°C (−0.45 to 2.04°C), and 0.50°C (−0.63 to 1.62°C), respectively. The GT, OT, and MPT values were within ±0.5°C of RT for 65.9, 19.5, and 52.5% of dogs, respectively. Although GT, OT, and MPT were a quick way to estimate BT in dogs, these measurements were not comparable with RT. The GT measurement achieved the best agreement with RT measurement (lowest bias and the highest proportion of measurements within ±0.5°C). The GT could be considered an option for monitoring changes to body temperature in clinically healthy dogs where RT measurement is not possible.

description: Introduction: The attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is a pathology of chronic neurodevelopment and has assumed an increasingly important importance, with symptoms mainly affecting age school children, with repercussions on social, family and school functioning. Goal: To describe the characteristics of patients with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, followed in Liaison Pedopsychiatry Consultation. Material and methods: Retrospective study of patients with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder followed in Liaison Pedopsychiatry Consultation in the Centro Materno-Infantil do Norte, between october and december 2016. Data collection was done through consultation of the computerized clinical process. Variables included were: age, sex, subtype of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, family and personal history, psychiatric and medical comorbidities, reason and origin of the referral, treatment instituted and adverse effects. Results: The study included 221 patients with a diagnosis of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, 72.85% male. The mean age was 12.4 years, with 37,10% being between 10-12 years old. 74.21% belonged to the Porto district. In 35.29% of the cases, referral was made by Neuropediatrics and 18.55% by General Pediatrics, being the most frequent reasons the behavioral problems and concentration difficulties (27.60%) and learning disabilities (22,62%).As for the subtype, the majority presented the mixed subtype (48,42%), being 85.07% medicated. The most frequent psychiatric comorbidities were intellectual development disorder (35.44%), followed by oppositional and defiant disorder / behavioral problems (20,25%). The cognitive evaluation was performed in 73.76%, and 57.06% had lower intellectual quotient than the mean). Personal history related to attention deficit hyperactivity disorder was identified in 21.72% and family history related to attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in 14.0%. Regarding the medical / organic co-morbid diagnoses, the most prominent were pulmonary pathology and renal pathology, both with 20.37%. Conclusion: The attention deficit hyperactivity disorder represents a frequent disorder at Liaison Pedopsychiatry consultations affecting children and adolescents, with a high incidence among males between 10 and 12 years old, with a predominance of mixed type. Behavioral problems, concentration difficulties and learning disabilities are, in most cases, the reference reason for consultation. Early intervention is essential in order to control the symptoms, improving the academic and psychosocial course.

Other: Burmeister 1844: 383 (Cuba); Ohaus 1934: 116 (Cuba, U.S.A.); Blackwelder 1944: 239 (Bahamas, Cuba, U.S.A.); Machatschke 1972: 51 (Cuba, U.S.A.); Chalumeau 1985: 240 (none - designation LECTOTYPE Rutela formosa, Bahamas, Cuba, U.S.A.); Jameson 1998: 77 (Bahamas, Belize, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Mexico, U.S.A.).
Note 1. Jameson (1998: 77) and Soula (2010a: 55) mention Rutela formosa for French Guiana, but note that this is based on a single specimen with a label saying “Cayenne.” No other specimens from French Guiana are known, and we consider its occurrence there in need of confirmation.
Note 2. Two specimens of Rutela formosa in the collection of the RMNH are labeled “ Guyana ” and “ Venezuela,” respectively. According to Jameson (1998: 77), this species is found in the Greater Antilles and the U.S.A., with some additional records from the coastal regions of Central and South American countries. Given the sparse Neotropical mainland records, we consider the presence of this species in Guyana and Venezuela possible but in need of confirmation.

Outcome and process evaluation of the build-a-bone osteoporosis prevention program
Creators: name: Hyatt, Robyn Marie
Publisher: name: University of Utah

description: Osteoporosis is a commonly occurring bone disease that impacts more than half of the U.S. population over age 50, with women a large majority of the affected  population. Debilitating complications include fractures, pain, and a decrease in quality of life. Early recognition, particularly in perimenopausal years, can significantly decrease morbidity and related health-care costs of osteoporosis.  The Build-A-Bone Osteoporosis Prevention Program offers an innovative and unique approach to osteoporosis prevention with a multicomponent experiential skills training program. Whereas the program had never been evaluated since inception, this  study was designed to investigate the effectiveness (i.e., behavior change), impact (i.e., fall reduction), and client satisfaction of 83 past participants using retrospective  pretest/posttest questionnaires.  The research design was a 2 (repeated measures) X 2 (post hoc risk level) analysis of variance. Research questions addressed both main effects for program  outcomes (i.e., time) and interactions between time and risk and examined dependent variables of modifiable risk factors, physical activity, balance, Nutrition; and dietary patterns, personal health beliefs, and falls. Outcomes were measured using subscale portions of standardized instruments.  Conclusions of this study are positive and suggest that a multicomponent experiential skills training program for osteoporosis prevention can reduce risk factors  and falls. Participants reported that their rate of falls had decreased by 50% from prior to the program and significantly increased physical activity. The participants'  composite modifiable risk factors decreased significantly. Significant main effects for both time and risk factors were found in Nutrition; and dietary patterns. Significant  main effects for time were found for subscales of the Osteoporosis Health Belief Scale. Dosage and client satisfaction were not related to any examined posttest  outcomes, and time since program completion showed no significant main effects or interactions. Process evaluation results indicated high client satisfaction and significant correlations with requests for refresher courses and positive comments of the program's contribution to health.  Certain aspects of osteoporosis prevention were not addressed, including ways to recruit individuals at risk in underserved populations and exploration of the impact  of osteoporosis prevention programs on increased bone density based on actual laboratory data. Further research is needed to investigate these factors and advance osteoporosis prevention.

The Response of comatose children to parental speech as measured by changes in intracranial pressure.
Creators: name: Roberts, Christine Ann Peterson
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2012
Subjects: Children
Auditory Evoked Response

description: Comatose children were studied to determine whether they responded to the voice of their parents.  The response was measured as changes in the intracranial pressure which was being monitored by a subarachnoid bolt.  Of all the children who met the sample criteria at Primary Children's Medical Center over a three-month period, permission was granted to study seven.  The investigator intended to perform three trials on each patient if circumstance allowed and a total of 17 trials were in fact performed.  The parents were given three phrases to repeat over a three-minute timed trial.  The intracranial pressure readings were recorded for this period and also for three minutes before and after the actual session when the child was not receiving extrinsic stimulation.  Inferential statistics were not performed due to the small sample size.  Some change did occur in each patient's mean intracranial pressure with the stimulus of parental speech (in all but one individual trial).  The majority of the patients showed a change in mean intracranial pressure of one Torr or greater from the pretrial to the actual trial.  The study could serve as a pilot for many further investigations.  The significance of this research should be to make health care workers aware that the comatose child may continue to have some perception of his environment.  They should treat the unconscious person with dignity and respect and encourage the patients' continued contact and emotional support for the child.

description: To compare alternative methods of recording body temperature (BT) with rectal temperature (RT) in clinically healthy dogs. This prospective study included 97 healthy mixed-breed dogs (43 females and 54 males). The gingival temperature (GT) was collected by using a human non-contact, infrared forehead thermometer, while ocular temperature (OT) and metacarpal pad temperature (MPT) were obtained with an infrared thermal camera. The degree of agreement was determined using the Bland–Altman method, with RT considered as the reference temperature. A total of 382 readings were obtained from four different anatomical regions. The mean difference and their 95% limits of agreement for the differences between RT−GT, RT−OT, and RT−MPT were 0.18°C (−0.95°C–1.32°C), 0.79°C (−0.45°C–2.04°C), and 0.50°C (−0.63°C–1.62°C), respectively. The GT, OT, and MPT values were within ±0.5°C of RT for 65.9%, 19.5%, and 52.5% of dogs, respectively. Although GT, OT, and MPT were a quick way to estimate BT in dogs, these measurements were not comparable with RT. The GT measurement achieved the best agreement with RT measurement (lowest bias and the highest proportion of measurements within ±0.5°C). The GT could be considered an option for monitoring changes to body temperature in clinically healthy dogs where RT measurement is not possible.

description: A study to identify stress factors perceived to be of significance in the role of the neonatal nurse practitioner was conducted.  The purposes of this study were to determine if role stress existed among neonatal nurse practitioners in a hospital setting, and to identify significant role senders who contributed to this role stress.  The study was conducted in Salt Lake City, Utah over a 2 month period.  The sample population which consisted of 16 individual was divided into two referent groups; role occupants and role senders.  The data were analyzed utilizing descriptive statistics.  The Pearson Product Moment Correlation study and the Paired t-test were employed.  No significant data were obtained because of small sample size. However, trends and impression were observed.  Both study groups agreed that the neonatal nurse practitioners did experience role stress in the performance of their work.  Role senders who contributed to this stress were the unit medical director, staff neonatologists, staff nurses, and members of the patient's family.  Role stress had positive as well as negative effects on practitioner's performance and implied that a certain degree of role stress was beneficial.
