description: Physical activity is an important element to living a healthy lifestyle. While it is broadly known that regular physical activity can benefit both physical and mental wellbeing, it is suggested that the benefits of physical activity extend to cognition. However, of the existing body of research exploring these benefits on cognition, a number of studies primarily focus on children (improvements in academic performance) or clinical populations such as those suffering from dementia. Considering the vast majority of the working population is formed by young to middle aged adults, there is a lack of research within this population.
The evolution of phenotypic diversification in heterogeneous microcosms maintained by a liquid-handling robot.

description: The survival of a population in a novel environment can depend upon the evolution of new traits—a process known as local adaption. Such adaptation to a novel environment is often presumed to occur in tandem with a reduction in fitness in the ancestral environment. However, it is not known whether performance trade-offs develop more often in populations that experience only a homogeneous novel environment or populations that experience a heterogeneous environment composed of both ancestral and novel environments. It was hypothesized that the likelihood of the emergence of performance trade-offs was dependent upon the ecological and evolutionary histories of the evolved populations. To investigate this premise, I performed a meta-analysis of local adaptation in published studies of experimental evolution. This literature review revealed that performance trade-offs are most likely to evolve when the environment is homogeneous rather than heterogeneous. Furthermore, in heterogeneous environments, trade-offs were more likely to develop when the environment was spatially, rather than temporally heterogeneous. The literature review demonstrated that there were too few long-term spatially heterogeneous evolution experiments, so I designed a system that can be used to conduct this type of an experiment with the bacteriophage phi-6, with the aid of a liquid-handling robot. A multi-day evolution experiment was conducted successfully with the robot, indicating potential for using the robot to perform long-term evolution experiments. Overall, these findings demonstrate that performance trade-offs do not always emerge when populations adapt to novel environments, calling into question an assumption that is frequently adopted in local adaptation studies.

title: An isotopic investigation of the diet and origins of 18th- and 19th-century individuals from Newfoundland and Louisbourg, Nova Scotia
Creators: name: Garlie, Megan Elizabeth
Publisher: name: Memorial University of Newfoundland
Year: 2022

description: The forced migration of French colonists from Placentia, Newfoundland, to what would become the Fortress of Louisbourg, Nova Scotia, following the Treaty of Utrecht connects the two sites historically. To investigate this link, isotopic analyses involving carbon (δ¹³CVPDB), nitrogen (δ¹⁵NAIR), and strontium (⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr) were conducted to evaluate the diet and geographic origins of individuals from archaeological sites in Newfoundland, including St. Paul’s Anglican Cemetery in Harbour Grace, Foxtrap-2 in Foxtrap, and St. Luke’s Anglican Cemetery in Placentia, as well as the Block 3 cemetery at the Fortress of Louisbourg. Isotopic analyses (δ¹³CVPDB and δ¹⁵NAIR) were also conducted on faunal remains from Placentia and the Fortress of Louisbourg to establish local isotope baselines for comparison. While there was variability in human δ¹³C and δ¹⁵N values from all the sites, these data were interpreted to indicate a mixed C₃ terrestrial and marine diet. The ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr data suggest most individuals could have originated in coastal regions of either Western Europe or North America. This research contributes to the growing isotopic data for the historic period in North America, especially the Atlantic Canadian region, and more specifically provides isotopic evidence of the historical connection between Placentia and the Fortress of Louisbourg.

description: The project aims to replicate Finnigan and Vazire’s studies on the incremental validity of average state self-reports (2017), using data of a German field-study (CONNECT-study, see Geukes et al., 2018). Further, we extend the research question, examining whether findings replicate when using peer-reported states instead of self-reported states. Throughout our research, we will use both, time-based and event-based assessments.
After the Wall: Cinema and the Memory of Communist Repression in the Reunified Germany
Creators: name: John, Rachuba
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2016

description: As German reunification continues into its third decade, ever-­‐fewer Germans
can claim direct historical memory of life under the dictatorship that once
ruled the country’s east. German society’s understanding of this painful segment
of its past is increasingly second-­‐hand; and the cultural work of portraying
and remembering the shadowy regime of the German Democratic Republic is
beginning to fall on mass media and entertainment. Film, literature, and popular
culture, rather than personal memory, inform how modern Germans perceive the old
regime in the east: which elements are most important and memorable, and whose
stories are told. Film, by providing a direct visual rendering of the lost world
of German communism, affords a crucial glimpse into modern Germany’s
understanding of the Stasi tyranny that once ruled much of the country. The
messages, tropes, and stories told in cinema mold the image younger generations
hold of the former East Germany. The cosmopolitan, diverse, and socially
conscious but market-­‐capitalist Federal Republic stands in stark contrast to
the repressive and secretive Soviet-­‐bloc regime that once stood in the east.
Understanding the image modern Germans hold of the defunct Stasi state is
enlightening not just for the purposes of exploring modern German society and
culture, but in learning how human beings cope through art with immense
oppression and terror after-­‐the-­‐fact. By examining three separate pieces of
film art from the post-­‐Wende era, this thesis will endeavor to glean how
Germany in the 21st century remembers the struggle(s) against, and perpetration
of, the repressive regime of the former East Germany. As with any artistic work,
the particulars of various films about the subject will differ with the
director—but the presence of overarching, common themes in the
post-­‐reunification cinema of East Germany helps reveal modern German
understandings of the country’s Cold War past. How and why were individuals
targeted by state violence? How did individuals survive and resist tyrant? How
is guilt assigned for the regime’s crimes against its targets? The issue of
complicity—the overlap between victim and perpetrator, and the grey area
surrounding those who were both tacitly involved in state repression but also
victimized thereby—is another key element of post-­‐reunification GDR cinema. In
such an authoritarian and conformist society, some individuals inevitably were
caught in the regime’s crosshairs. What forms of resistance did they undertake,
and how did they persevere in the face of sometimes crushing oppression?

We employ the Stokes/anti-Stokes scattering asymmetry to probe the circular polarization of a local electric field induced inside nanowires by linearly polarized light waves. We observe the anomalous polarization conversion of the opposite sign than that in a bulk medium or thick nanowires with a great enhancement of the degree of circular polarization attributed to an unconventional refraction in the nanowire medium.

News-Related Social Media Use, Political Knowledge, and Participation in the 2016 Election
Creators: name: Roberson, John
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2019

description: Social media’s role in the 2016 election was one of many aspects of that election which make it unique. Record numbers of Americans were active social media users in 2015-2016, and many used the platforms not only for entertainment, but to learn about the news. Social media were also used by candidates in novel ways and to unprecedented extents, and the quality of information distributed through social media came into question for multiple reasons. Previous studies have shown that news-related social media use leads to increases in political knowledge and likelihood of voting, but the unique circumstances surrounding the 2016 election make generalization of those findings to that election perilous. Therefore, this thesis used national survey data from the 2016 Cooperative Congressional Election Survey to investigate the relationships between news-related social media use, political knowledge, and participation specifically in the 2016 election. Exploratory factor analyses, logit regressions, and marginal effects were used. Analysis found that consuming social media news content did predict higher likelihood of voting in 2016, and it found that that effect was partially mediated by an increase in political knowledge. Additionally, evidence suggested that whether someone shared, commented on, or forwarded news-related content – in addition to consuming it – was found to moderate each of the aforementioned relationships, though that finding was not statistically significant. The relationships between social media use, knowledge, and voting also varied by state and by party. Further research should consider personality in analysis and use experimental, rather than observational, methods to the extent possible.

description: Jets coexist with planetary scale waves in the turbulence of planetary atmospheres. The coherent component of these structures arises from cooperative interaction between the coherent structures and the incoherent small-scale turbulence in which they are embedded. It follows that theoretical understanding of the dynamics of jets and planetary scale waves requires adopting the perspective of statistical state dynamics (SSD) which comprises the dynamics of the interaction between coherent and incoherent components in the turbulent state. In this work the S3T implementation of SSD for barotropic beta-plane turbulence is used to develop a theory for the jet/wave coexistence regime by separating the coherent motions consisting of the zonal jets together with a selection of large-scale waves from the smaller scale motions which constitute the incoherent component. It is found that mean flow/turbulence interaction gives rise to jets that coexist with large-scale coherent waves in a synergistic manner. Large-scale waves that would only exist as damped modes in the laminar jet are found to be transformed into exponentially growing waves by interaction with the incoherent small scale turbulence which results in a change in the mode structure allowing the mode to tap the energy of the mean jet. This mechanism of destabilization differs fundamentally and serves to augment the more familiar S3T instabilities in which jets and waves arise from homogeneous turbulence with energy source exclusively from the incoherent eddy field and provides further insight into the cooperative dynamics of the jet/waves coexistence regime in planetary turbulence.

description: The solar brightness varies on timescales from minutes to decades. A clear identification of the physical processes behind such variations is needed for developing and improving physics-based models of solar brightness variability and reconstructing solar brightness in the past. This is, in turn, important for better understanding the solar-terrestrial and solar-stellar connections. We estimate the relative contributions of the continuum, molecular, and atomic lines to the solar brightness variations on different timescales. Our approach is based on the assumption that variability of the solar brightness on timescales greater than a day is driven by the evolution of the solar surface magnetic field. We calculated the solar brightness variations employing the solar disc area coverage of magnetic features deduced from the MDI/SOHO observations. The brightness contrasts of magnetic features relative to the quiet Sun were calculated with a non-LTE radiative transfer code as functions of disc position and wavelength. By consecutive elimination of molecular and atomic lines from the radiative transfer calculations, we assessed the role of these lines in producing solar brightness variability. We show that the variations in Fraunhofer lines define the amplitude of the solar brightness variability on timescales greater than a day and even the phase of the total solar irradiance variability over the 11-year cycle. We also demonstrate that molecular lines make substantial contribution to solar brightness variability on the 11-year activity cycle and centennial timescales. In particular, our model indicates that roughly a quarter of the total solar irradiance variability over the 11-year cycle originates in molecular lines. The maximum of the absolute spectral brightness variability on timescales greater than a day is associated with the CN violet system between 380 and 390 nm.

Anecdotes from Bangladesh: A Look at the Intersection of Culture, Gender and the Documentary Process
Creators: name: DeKornfeld, Ora
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2014

description: In summer 2013, I travelled to Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh to visually document one woman’s experience with obstetric fistula. I spent three weeks in Bangladesh, filming daily life, conducting interviews and upon my return, editing the footage into a short-form documentary film in which I attempt to convey the personal journey of Anawora, a fistula patient. Initially, the purpose of this paper was to cultivate a space in which I could 1) reflect on my experience in Bangladesh and 2) analyze gender disparity, racial power dynamics and cultural norms in Bangladesh through the lens of the documentary process; however, as this written reflection evolved, the paper became equally about understanding and challenging the limitations of the documentary process itself. Informed by a concrete journalistic code of ethics, I had made assumptions about what the documentary process necessarily has to be. Consequently, during the making of the film, I found myself constantly redefining and questioning what documentary can be while simultaneously reassessing how truth fits into that equation. By taking my skillset and applying it in the field, I tested my assumptions of what I believed the documentary process to be with the reality of how the process transpires and takes form when confronted with a foreign culture. I encountered numerous obstacles that challenged my moral code in a journalistic sense but also on a personal level. In almost every case, these obstacles emerged from my failure to fully anticipate the impact of Bangladeshi gender relations and cultural norms on production. In my mind, these obstacles were preventing me from getting to my story. I wanted to tell the story of a Bangladeshi woman named Anawora and her experience with obstetric fistula, a hole between the birth canal and one or more of the adjacent organs. I felt as though I was crashing into the organization of culture surrounding the specific story I wanted to tell. Upon further reflection, I realize these obstacles are part of the story-- both Anawora’s story and the broader narrative of Bangladesh. In the finished documentary, I attempt to show the context of culture in order to both orient the audience in this world and represent reality as I experienced it. In this reflection, I’d like to share some anecdotes that are representative of moments when I reassess my methods and expectations.

We use the Stein-Chen method to derive Poisson approximations for the distribution of the number of subgraphs in the stochastic block model which are isomorphic to some fixed graph. We also obtain Poisson approximations for subgraph counts in a graphon-type generalisation of the model in which the edge probabilities are (possibly dependent) random variables supported on a subset of $[0,1]$. Our results apply when the fixed graph is a member of the class of strictly balanced graphs.

description: The effect of temperature on the form of discrete changes in the current in highly inductive (~10-6 H) doubly-connected superconductors with niobium-niobium clamped point contacts is determined experimentally. The magnitude and duration of the voltage pulse on a doubly-connected superconductor is measured at the time of the discrete change in its current state. The pulse magnitude is close to the energy gap 2D/e of the superconductor and its duration (~10-6 s) corresponds to the minimum possible time (~10-12 s) for a change in the state of the contact when the depairing current through it is reached. The measurement data are discussed in terms of models of the quantum interference of currents in a doubly-connected superconductor with clamped point contacts in the form of a quantum interferometer.

title: Unsettled grounds: settler colonialism, discourses of violence, and the limitations of settler research
Creators: name: Morton, Katherine
Publisher: name: Memorial University of Newfoundland
Year: 2022

description: Too often within settler-colonial academia, Indigenous Peoples and communities are treated as “sources” of data, available for harvesting and settler analysis. Even in work that seeks to be with and for Indigenous Peoples, there is an all-too-common pressure for research to be extractive (McCall, 2020). Over the course of several years, embedded colonialism within academia clashed with my intentions as a settler colonial researcher interested in exploring the meaning-making found within Indigenous-state relations and their symbols in Canada. In this dissertation, I discuss not only the decision based on the current political climate and shifting research priorities to end my PhD research field work, but also offer 3 critical discourse analysis based papers related to colonial violence in Canada. These papers, completed while in the midst of my PhD work, demonstrate my interest in unpacking the meaning-making found within settler colonial framing and responses to colonial violence perpetrated against Indigenous Peoples. These papers and what remains of the initial project read together as an exploration of what alternative data collection may look like for settler-colonial researchers pursuing research involving Indigeneity, colonialism, and Indigenous-state relations.

Transitioning to a computer-based intervention for women with gestational diabetes mellitus
Creators: name: Murray, Jessica
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2014

description: Health promotion remains important for all individuals, especially for those at risk for
developing chronic disease. Many women are diagnosed with gestational diabetes mellitus while
in their second trimester of pregnancy, and this puts them at risk for developing type 2 diabetes
mellitus later in on in life. Optimizing Outcomes in Women with Gestational Diabetes and their
Infants is a randomized controlled two group repeated measures design that offers a nutrition and
exercise education and coping skills training intervention to help women to improve eating and
exercise behaviors and lose weight postpartum. The ultimate goal for this study is to reduce the
risk of women diagnosed with gestational diabetes mellitus from developing type 2 diabetes
mellitus later in life. Although enrollment was successful, it was difficult and took slightly longer
than projected. In addition, many women returned to work 6 weeks postpartum due to financial
necessity. Therefore, a new way to deliver the intervention was needed for future studies. A
review was conducted examining other forms of intervention delivery and a decision was made
by the research team to make the following changes. An online interactive educational program
was designed to guide future participants through information on general health, nutrition and
exercise education and coping skills training, and an at-home tabletop easel was created with the
same information for home use. The tabletop easel was designed to allow mothers to teach their
families about the importance of exercise and nutrition. These two changes will be tested in
future studies.

description: We investigate the effects of spin-orbit interaction (SOI) and valley mixing on the transport and dynamical properties of a carbon nanotube (CNT) quantum dot in the Kondo regime. As these perturbations break the pseudo-spin symmetry in the CNT spectrum but preserve time-reversal symmetry, they induce a finite splitting $Δ$ between formerly degenerate Kramers pairs. Correspondingly, a crossover from the SU(4) to the SU(2)-Kondo effect occurs as the strength of these symmetry breaking parameters is varied. Clear signatures of the crossover are discussed both at the level of the spectral function as well as of the conductance. In particular, we demonstrate numerically and support with scaling arguments, that the Kondo temperature scales inversely with the splitting $Δ$ in the crossover regime. In presence of a finite magnetic field, time reversal symmetry is also broken. We investigate the effects of both parallel and perpendicular fields (with respect to the tube's axis), and discuss the conditions under which Kondo revivals may be achieved.

Differences in Applying Gender Double Standards to STEM Careers through Narratives
Creators: name: Coker, Teniola O.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2013

description: The purpose of this thesis was to explore further reasons for the underrepresentation of women in STEM careers, by determining whether there were differences in perception of STEM careers based on gender double standards and motivational environment. Participants were asked to read one of four narratives featuring a graduate student in a STEM field. Each narrative differed across two manipulated variables: the gender of the main character, and whether it was an individualist or collaborative motivational environment. After reading the narrative, participants evaluated the character’s traits using masculine and feminine characteristics (Bem, 1974), as well as their perceived likability and ability in their career. We also asked participants a series of other measures that included their personal interest and opinions in STEM careers. Results included a main effect of character gender on perceived femininity and likability, and of motivational environment on perceived masculinity. Results also suggested that men were perceived to be more typical in an individualistic environment, while women were perceived as more typical in a collaborative environment and a similar trend emerged for perceptions of success. These findings, which confirm the influence of gender and also further evidence of the effect of motivational environment, provide several implications for differences in perception of STEM careers, and women’s interest in pursuing them.

Effects of GSK-3 Inhibition on Cerebellar Development and Medulloblastoma Tumorigenesis
Creators: name: Bates, Rolf Dale
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2019

description: Activating mutations in either the Sonic Hedgehog (SHH) or the Wingless (WNT) signaling pathways gives rise to two of the major subgroups of medulloblastoma. Analysis of the gene expression profiles of the SHH and WNT medulloblastoma subgroups have revealed that they might be mutually exclusive. It is still not known, however, what the role of the WNT signaling pathway is in SHH-induced tumor growth. We hypothesize that constitutively activating the WNT signaling pathway through the inhibition of Glycogen Synthase Kinase 3 (GSK-3) will prevent SHH subgroup tumor growth. Cerebellar progenitors were treated with varying doses of CHIR-98014, a GSK-3 inhibitor, for 24 hours and collected for western blot analysis or immunofluorescence analysis. Wild-type cells were treated with SHH and CHIR-98014 for 24 hours and collected for FACS analysis. A decreasing trend in proliferation marker, pRb, and mitosis marker, pHH3, was seen, as well as an increasing trend in S phase inhibition marker, CDKN1A (p21), with increasing dosages of drug in tumor cells. Treatment with CHIR-98014 in the presence of SHH in cells cultured from wild-type mice showed a shift in cell cycle phase away from S phase. To elucidate the maximum tolerable dose of CHIR-98014, oral gavage of wild type mice with varying dosages of CHIR-98014 was then conducted and presented no significant change in weight during treatment. Increasing dosages of CHIR-98014 were shown to significantly decrease proliferation of tumor cells, revealing possible viability for use of CHIR-98014 targeting medulloblastoma. These findings support the hypothesis that constitutively activated WNT signaling through the inhibition of GSK-3 prevents SHH subgroup tumor growth. Understanding the role of the WNT signaling pathway in the context of SHH-induced medulloblastoma may lead to better management of the disease. Further characterization of CHIR-98014 and its effects on cerebellar development and tumorigenesis is necessary and provides significance in the treatment of SHH-induced medulloblastoma.
Fathering the Kafkaesque: Transcendental Authority and the Problem of the Absurd in Kafka
Creators: name: Lee, Kenneth
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2017

description: Kafka has since been credited with his own informal literary genre, the
Kafkaesque, which is characterized by an illogical, senseless, often nightmarish
complexity and a mood of despondence and hopelessness. He was a troubled man beset
by anxiety and depression; John Updike supposes that Kafka’s nervous system “flayed of
its old hide of social usage and religious belief, must record every touch as pain” (The
Complete Stories ix). The Kafkaesque connotes the horrific and bizarre, but this skewing
of Kafka’s reputation towards cynicism is surprising and perhaps unwarranted. In The
Myth of Sisyphus, Albert Camus discusses the philosophy of absurdism, which claims
that the efforts of humanity to find value and meaning in life are doomed and therefore
absurd; Camus compares this absurdity to the “futile and hopeless labor” of Sisyphus,
condemned to “ceaselessly rolling a rock to the top of a mountain, whence the stone
would fall back of its own weight” (119). Camus praises Kafka for his depiction of the
absurd, but he qualifies his praise by claiming that Kafka introduces “hope in a strange
form” (130). Hope is not typically associated with the Kafkaesque, but contrarily, Camus
interprets Kafka as purposeful and deliberate. Camus and Kafka agree that the world is
absurd and that rationalism—the belief that reason is the basis of all truth, that logic
explains all the workings of the world—is insufficient. But Kafka’s writing is not purely
a venting of frustrations, not startling and bizarre merely for the sake of being startling
and bizarre. Kafka should be read not as a cynic, but as a skeptic. Cynicism implies
passivity: acknowledging a problem without attempting to remedy it and finally
succumbing to apathy. If he had been a cynic, Kafka would have written truly hopeless
stories. As a skeptic, Kafka recognized the absurdity of the world and surmised that there
must be a means of rectification. The question becomes: What is the absurdity that Kafka
depicts, and what is his hope?

Scaling relations of the properties for CO resolved structures in nearby spiral galaxies

description: We report high spatial resolution observations of Giant Molecular Clouds (GMCs) in the nearby spiral galaxies NGC 6946, M101 and NGC 628 obtained with the CARMA telescope. We observed CO(1-0) over regions with active star formation, and higher resolution observations of CO(2-1) have allowed us to resolve some of the largest GMCs. Using a Bayesian fitting approach, we generate scaling relations for the sizes, line widths, and virial masses of the structures identified in this work. We do not find evidence for a tight power law relation between size and line width, although the limited dynamic range in cloud size remains a clear issue in our analysis. Additionally, we use a Bayesian approach to analyze the Kennicutt-Schmidt (K-S) relation for the identified structures. We find that the distribution of slopes are broadly distributed, mainly due to the limited dynamic range of our measured H2 mass surface density, and being most consistent with super-linear relations. On the other hand, when we use the Bayesian approach to analyze the K-S relation for a uniform grid, the distributions of slopes is consistent with sub-linear relations. On-arm regions tend to have higher star formation rates than inter-arm regions. As in NGC 6946, in M101 we find regions where the star formation efficiency shows marked peaks at specific galoctocentric radii. On the other hand, the distribution of SFE in NGC 628 is more contiguous. We hypothesize that differences in the distribution of SFE may be indicative of different processes driving the spiral structure.

title: Evaluation and implementation of rock indentation tests experimentally and numerically on high strength and isotropic rocks
Creators: name: Premraj, Prajit
Publisher: name: Memorial University of Newfoundland
Year: 2023

description: A comprehensive study of rock indentation was performed at Memorial University of Newfoundland (MUN). Testing was performed on hard rocks such as granite as well as medium-strength rocks such as rock like material (RLM) which were manufactured in the Drilling Laboratory of MUN by researchers. For the two types of testing procedures utilized, samples were prepared accordingly. Metallic indenters were then forced against the rock core specimens under controlled loading conditions. Graphical analysis of the loading cycles were then analyzed and studied. As there was no fixed industrial standard, a procedure was devised and deployed for the indentation test of rock. Empirical correlations from work done by researchers in the past were adjusted with modifications from the indentation tests and augmented to predict the strength of the rocks. With the help of the PFC 2D software package, the experiment was replicated numerically. In conclusion, the slope of the loading curves from the experiment and numeric modeling was used to predict the strength of the rock. A very detailed study was conducted on the variables affecting the indentation tests in which the effect of individual variables such as confinement, size of the specimen, and geometry of the testing metallic indenter were investigated. The study was concluded by reaching and recording the failure point and the specific energy utilized in the rock breakage.
