description: This dissertation reflects a case study of the process of the design, implementation and formative evaluation of a team development program conducted with a swimming and diving team consisting of twenty-three women at a NCAA Division I university during the 2008-2009 academic year. The dissertation was undertaken to contribute to the knowledge base about how team development programs can be designed and implemented in athletic settings. As a foundation for the dissertation, the participant observer role was used in conjunction with Maher's (2000) Program Planning and Evaluation (PP&E) Framework and Maher's (2004) Student-Athlete Pyramid of Development. Relying on these approaches as procedural and technical guidance, a framework of knowledge, skills and abilities was formulated and then put into an evaluable programmatic form to assist the student-athletes on the team with interpersonal communication, within the team context.  This dissertation explores how the PP&E Framework can be coupled with some of the levels of the Student-Athlete Pyramid of Development along with knowledge about team development from business, military, and sport to assist an athletic team in learning to communicate constructively. Formative evaluation data is provided from participating team members and the coaching staff about the actual and potential value of this kind of program. Finally, conclusions and recommendations are offered for the possible design and implementation of similar team development programs in athletic, business, and other contexts.

description: School-based substance use prevention programs that use a social influence approach and/or teach life skills have been the most effective. Programs that include peer leadership have been mixed in their effectiveness, but may be socially influential in changing peer norms and group dynamics. The current study evaluated the effectiveness of the Peer Prevention Project, a comprehensive life skills substance use prevention program, which was implemented during the 2007-2008 school year. The overall sample included 129 male and female students in the 8th grade across 4 middle schools of an urban, low-income school district. Participants were randomly assigned to the treatment condition or a no-treatment, minimal-contact control condition. There were 67 participants in the treatment group and 62 participants in the control group. The program included weekly meetings with adult advisors, opportunities to lead outreach groups with younger students, and activities designed to build parent-child relationships, and develop prosocial bonds to peers, teachers, and school. Program effects were evaluated using multivariate analyses of covariance (MANCOVA). Controlling for school and pre-test scores, there were no statistically significant differences between the treatment and control conditions on generic skills, affective skills, school bonding, substance use, or the behavioral outcomes. Although these findings provide no evidence of the success of the Peer Prevention Project, limitations in the current research suggest that future evaluations should be conducted.

The culture of dating and single life in the modern Orthodox Jewish community
Creators: name: Penkower, Ariel Y.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied

description: The search for a spouse can be a difficult process for many men and women. In recent years, it has been observed that a growing number of individuals in the Modern Orthodox Jewish community attempt to find spouses but are unsuccessful. Singles utilize a range of support systems, including social events, online dating resources, traditional matchmakers (shadchanim) and choosing to reside in singles communities. Nevertheless, the population of unmarried adults in this community is ever-growing, and demands to be better understood. In light of religious expectations to marry at a young age, unmarried individuals in the community are frequently viewed implicitly–and all too often explicitly–as second-class citizens. This is reflected, for example, in the phrase “singles/shidduch crisis,” a shorthand term used to describe this phenomenon, that some view as marginalizing and pathologizing this group. The present study seeks to further understand this situation in a systematic way via in-depth interviews with two unmarried men and three unmarried women from the Modern Orthodox community. A semi-structured interview schedule was designed to qualitatively capture the subjects’ range and depth of experience as single individuals. The interviews were analyzed separately as case studies and also compared and contrasted based on four major, common topic domains. Significant diversity was found in the sample, although common themes also emerged. Singles communities were seen as beneficial, but somehow artificial as well. Singles felt they were viewed as inferior by the larger community and were often troubled by loneliness and isolation. Shadchanim were valued by some, but generally criticized for insensitivity. Even with the pressures and frustrations around dating andunmarried life, singles expressed a sense of resilience as they found sources of strength and support in their lives. Taking into consideration the implications of the case study findings, the dissertation concludes with recommended actions to be taken by the single individuals in the Modern Orthodox Jewish community, the community at large, and the mental health professionals who serve them.

description: Rodents represent over 40% of known mammal species and are found in various terrestrial habitats. They are significant reservoirs for zoonotic viruses, including harmful pathogens such as arenaviruses and hantaviruses, yet knowledge of their hosts and distributions is limited. Therefore, characterizing the virome profile in these animals is invaluable for outbreak preparedness, especially in potential hotspots of mammal diversity. This study included 681 organs from 124 rodents and one Chinese tree shrew collected from Yunnan Province, China, during 2020-2021. Metagenomic analysis revealed unique features of mammalian viruses in rodent organs across habitats with varying human disturbances. R. tanezumi in locations with high anthropogenic disturbance exhibited the highest mammal viral diversity, with spleen and lung samples showing the highest diversities for these viruses at the organ level. Mammal viral diversity for both commensal and non-commensal rats was identified to positively correlate with landscape disturbance. Some virus families were associated with particular organs or host species, suggesting tropism for these pathogens. Notably, known and novel viral species that are likely to infect humans were identified. R. tanezumi was identified as a reservoir and carrier for various zoonotic viruses, including porcine bocavirus, hantavirus, cardiovirus, and lyssavirus. These findings highlight the influence of rodent community composition and anthropogenic activities on diverse virome profiles, with R. tanezumi as an important reservoir for zoonotic viruses.

description: The main approach to preventing tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) is vaccination. Formaldehyde-inactivated TBE vaccines have a proven record of safety and efficiency but have never been characterized structurally with atomic resolution. We report a cryoelectron microscopy (cryo-EM) structure of the formaldehyde-inactivated TBE virus (TBEV) of Sofjin-Chumakov strain representing the Far Eastern subtype. A 3.8  Å resolution reconstruction reveals the structural integrity of the envelope E proteins, specifically the E protein ectodomains. The comparative study shows high structural similarity to the previously published structures of the TBEV European subtype strains Hypr and Kuutsalo-14. A fraction of inactivated virions exhibits asymmetric features including the deformations of the membrane profile. We propose that the heterogeneity is caused by inactivation and perform a local variability analysis on the small parts of the envelope protein shell to reveal membrane curvature features possibly induced by the inactivation. The results of this study will have implications for design of novel vaccines against diseases caused by flaviviruses

Year: 2010

description: There has been a growing interest in understanding and increasing father involvement in their child's education. Ongoing research has documented the positive effects of father involvement; however, fathers continue to feel disconnected from their child's school and educational program. Not surprisingly, research has indicated that fathers of children in special education are also underutilized by school practitioners. Rather than reaching out to both parents, school personnel continue to disregard fathers and rely predominately on the child's mother. Because federal policy mandates parent collaboration on special education teams, there is a need for special education personnel to begin reaching out to fathers in order to increase their involvement in the process. In this study, in-depth qualitative interviews were conducted with fathers of children in special education to better understand their involvement in the process. This study examines their experiences engaging with school personnel and their perspectives on their roles in their child's special education program. Their emotional reactions to the process are examined within the in-depth data providing a rich description of their experiences. Findings indicate that the fathers in this study are strong advocates for their children and are very concerned for their children's education. In addition, the fathers want to be included more often and to be seen as equal partners in their child's special education program. Furthermore, these fathers offered recommendations for special education personnel to better facilitate the involvement of fathers. Suggestions for school psychology practice and topics for future research are discussed.

description: Genetic changes have occurred in the genomes of prevalent African swine fever viruses (ASFVs) in the field in China, which may change their antigenic properties and result in immune escape. There is usually poor cross-protection between heterogonous isolates, and, therefore, it is important to test the cross-protection of the live attenuated ASFV vaccines against current prevalent heterogonous isolates. In this study, we evaluated the protective efficacy of the ASFV vaccine candidate HLJ/18-7GD against emerging isolates. HLJ/18-7GD provided protection against a highly virulent variant and a lower lethal isolate, both derived from genotype II Georgia07-like ASFV and isolated in 2020. HLJ/18-7GD vaccination prevented pigs from developing ASF-specific clinical signs and death, decreased viral shedding via the oral and rectal routes, and suppressed viral replication after challenges. However, HLJ/18-7GD vaccination did not provide solid cross-protection against genotype I NH/P68-like ASFV challenge in pigs. HLJ/18-7GD vaccination thus shows great promise as an alternative strategy for preventing and controlling genotype II ASFVs, but vaccines providing cross-protection against different ASFV genotypes may be needed in China.

Coping with the demands of being a collegiate student-athlete
Creators: name: Steiner, Denise Dreitlein
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2010

description: Research in sport psychology has identified some general reactions of collegiate student-athletes  when meeting the academic requirements and sport performance demands of  their institutions. Despite such awareness, limited information has been reported  regarding: (a) the extent to which the day to day and longer range demands are considered as problematic and stressful for collegiate student-athletes; (b) how student-athletes  cope with these situations; and (c) student-athletes' views on being provided support in managing their role as student and athlete. In an effort to obtain a more in  depth understanding of these issues, a survey was created and distributed electronically to  550 student-athletes enrolled at an NCAA Division-1 college in Pennsylvania, with data  being collected and used from 231 participants. Data for the entire sample was analyzed  to identify areas of sport, school, and life that respondents found stressful, along with the  coping mechanisms they used in their self management as student-athletes. Data was then  analyzed based on gender, year in college, and sport. Out of the fifteen items included in  the survey, twelve were rated as stressful by more than half of the participants. Although  many items were rated as stressful, 5 out of the 12 items received moderate to extreme  stress ratings. Specifically, not meeting their own expectations and grades received the  highest stress ratings followed by pressure to win, balancing sport and academic  demands, and being nervous before or during competition. In order to help manage these  stressors, a majority of the student-athletes reported that they spend time with friends,  take a break, exercise, and ask friends and family for advice, suggesting that they utilize  both problem-focused and emotion-focused coping skills. Responses from the survey  were used to create a set of guidelines for athletic department personnel and other professionals working with collegiate student-athletes in an effort to increase their understanding of stress and coping and how to further proceed in learning how to balance sport and academic demands.

An evaluation of the implementation of a positive behavior support approach in an urban preschool setting
Creators: name: Sularski, Suzette J.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2010

description: This dissertation documents the process of planning and conducting an evaluation of a positive behavior support (PBS) approach, which was aimed at reducing challenging behaviors and increasing of prosocial behaviors among preschool students in an urban public school setting.  The program evaluation that was planned and conducted utilized Maher's (2000) program planning and evaluation framework.  The focus of the dissertation was to follow through with evaluation of aspects of the PBS approach so that useful evaluation information could be provided to the supervisors of the Office of Early Childhood Education (OECE), with the intent of determining strong points of the program and areas in need of improvement.  Another important dissertation intent was to provide a program evaluation plan that could be incorporated into the operational routine of the OECE so that program evaluation could become an integral part of the program. Furthermore, it was a basic contention of this dissertation that behavioral programs and services in public schools, such as PBS, should be incorporated into organizational routines and thereby be evaluated routinely so that informed judgments can be made about the value of the program, which will subsequently contribute to program development and improvement. This program evaluation was planned and conducted by this investigator during the 2008-2009 academic year.  For this evaluation of the preschool PBS approach, four program evaluation questions were delineated in the program evaluation plan. Results of a formative implementation of the program evaluation plan revealed that teachers were generally satisfied with the PBS approach, that the program was implemented most consistently in its earliest years of implementation, that there was a discrepancy between teachers' self-assessment of their skills and their ability to document the manifestation of these skills, and that professional development and coaching were among the most helpful strategies for increasing teachers' skills.  Findings of the dissertation were that the evaluation plan is feasible, key stakeholders found the evaluation information useful, and there was a desire to continue to use the evaluation plan for ongoing evaluations of the PBS program.  Recommendations are offered for the development, improvement, and ongoing evaluation of the PBS program.

description: This investigation explored the "I Have a Dream"(IHAD) program, an educational program working with students in under-resourced schools, using Grounded Theory methodology.  The IHAD program, its stakeholders'; and stakeholders'; commitment to impoverished urban youth's education and development were examined using the qualitative Grounded Theory Approach.  Seven IHAD stakeholders were interviewed using open-ended interview questions pertaining to their experiences, perceptions of IHAD participants and stakeholders, factors related to program sustenance, motivation to initiate and maintain IHAD involvement and personal impressions left by their IHAD work.  A Grounded Theory method was utilized to analyze interview response data.  The findings suggest that dominant factors motivating stakeholders to join the IHAD Program include their value education and giving back, desire for approbation from respected community leaders spearheading programming and the resource of time.  Findings also indicate that inspirational colleagues, meaningful connections with the youth, appreciation of Dreamers'; overcoming adversity, recognition of student progress and subsequent optimism for improved child trajectories all contributed to stakeholder program involvement sustenance.  Lastly subject narratives revealed the following to be considered the most important programming elements in this IHAD Program that should be replicated in similar programs:  program leadership, community involvement, funding security likely through a private partnership, and provision of opportunity for youth to connect with functioning, caring, reliable adults.

Comorbidity & childhood psychopathology
Creators: name: Pellegrino, Nora Anne Merritt
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2010

description: Childhood psychopathology refers to a heterogeneous set of psychological  conditions that negatively influence functioning. To improve treatment, effort has been directed at defining, and categorizing disorders. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, the primary source for diagnostic information in the US, updates diagnostic criteria to parallel research and clinical advances. Nevertheless, much symptom overlap remains across conditions, complicating diagnosis and slowing research progress. Latent class analysis (LCA), a person-centered analytic approach, was used to explore new diagnostic groupings based on primary and comorbid diagnostic data from children with a diagnosis of Autistic Disorder or Asperger's Syndrome (ASD) (n = 76) or Bipolar Disorder (BPD) (n = 36), compared to 27 controls. LCA was expected to identify a subset of children with high comorbidity who would demonstrate distinct neuroanatomical and behavioral profiles. Comparison of the temporal cortex, amygdala, or hippocampus volumes between the diagnostic groups, and between the derived clinical latent classes, revealed no significant differences. The diagnostic groups were different on several problem behavior subscales, as were the latent classes. All clinical groups had more behavioral problems compared to controls. Although results did not support the use of comorbid information to improve diagnostic profiles, large within-group variances in the primary diagnostic groups supported the need to improve differential diagnoses. The DSM-IV categorical classification system is limited in its ability to characterize 'comorbid' symptomology. In the DSM-V, inclusion of a dimensional component and 'cross cutting' symptoms would provide clinicians with a useful way to differentiate disorders and evaluate symptom severity.
Paulo Freire's pedagogy of love
Creators: name: Schoder, Edward Michael
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2010

description: Problem: Throughout his writings, Paulo Freire asserted that education was an act of love, that educators must risk acts of love, and that education should aim at establishing a world where it would be easier to love. But, Freire neither defined love nor explained how education constitutes an act of love.  To date, the centrality of love in Freire's thought has been ignored. Defining and interpreting Freire's concept of love constitutes a problem in the philosophy of education. Research Questions: The following interrelated questions will help uncover and clarify this theme in Freire's writings and place love in education in its proper philosophical context.  1) What is Freire’s theory of love as presented in Education as the Practice of Freedom and Pedagogy of the Oppressed?  2) What literature on love can help us understand his theory?  and 3) How does his theory of love guide his educational theory? Method: Taking Freire's writings as his effort to create a coherent pedagogy of the oppressed that both requires love and fosters it, a rhetorical analysis of his writings should yield an educational theory that encompasses a theory of love; comparison with recent philosophical ideals regarding love should give pointed definition to Freire's ideals.  Significance: This study will provide a new perspective on Freire's work and its place in educational philosophy.  It aims at restoring the primacy of love in Freire's pedagogy of the oppressed and achieving an understanding of what love means in Freire's thought and practice.

description: Serum hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) level < 100 IU/ml and undetectable hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA have been recently proposed as an alternate endpoint of “partial cure” in chronic hepatitis B (CHB). We investigated clinical outcomes of hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg)-negative CHB patients with HBsAg <100 IU/ml and undetectable HBV DNA. Treatment-naïve HBeAg-negative CHB patients with undetectable HBV DNA and normal alanine aminotransferase were retrospectively included from three institutions. Patients were classified into the low HBsAg group (<100 IU/ml) and the high HBsAg group (≥100 IU/ml). Liver fibrosis was evaluated by noninvasive tests (NITs). A total of 1218 patients were included and the median age was 41.5 years. Patients with low HBsAg were older (45.0 vs. 40.0 years, P < 0.001) than those in the high HBsAg group, while the NIT parameters were comparable between groups. During a median follow-up of 25.7 months, patients with low HBsAg achieved a higher HBsAg clearance rate (13.0% vs. 0%, P < 0.001) and a lower rate of significant fibrosis development (2.2% vs. 7.0%, P = 0.049) compared to patients with high HBsAg. No patient developed HCC in either group. HBsAg level was negatively associated with HBsAg clearance (HR 0.213, P < 0.001) and patients with HBsAg < 100 IU/ml had a low risk of significant fibrosis development (HR 0.010, P = 0.002). The optimal cutoff value of HBsAg for predicting HBsAg clearance was 1.1 Log10 IU/ml. Treatment-naïve HBeAg-negative CHB patients with HBsAg <100 IU/ml and undetectable HBV DNA had favourable outcomes with a high rate of HBsAg clearance and a low risk of fibrosis progression.

Engaging out-of-school males in learning
Creators: name: Schwartz, Joan Marie
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied

description: This ethnographic study examined how one adult education center engaged out-of school males (16-25 years old) in learning. Drawing from a learner-centered paradigm, the author reflected on her journey to the problem through her own school experience as well as her years with out-of-school youth in community settings. The literature review covers four areas – scope of the high school dropout problem, engagement, emergent adulthood, and programs currently attempting to engage this population. Research was conducted at The Downtown Learning Center in Brooklyn, New York.The four findings of this study centered on components of the “web”, or adult education center that engaged the young men in learning. Affective relationship, interiorand exterior space, and learning activities promoting engagement are the “threads” that re-engaged the young men in learning. In addition to these threads, the study reveals continued threats to this re-engagement. These findings have potential implications for teacher professional development and program design for adult education centers and schools attempting to re-engage this population in learning.

description: This research provides an analysis of the relationship between a student‘s beliefs and mathematical behaviors over a seventeen-year period. Romina, the student of focus in this case study, was among the original participants in a longitudinal study which explored how students build mathematical ideas when working collaboratively on problem-solving tasks with as little outside intervention as possible (Maher, 2005). A qualitative, phenomenological approach was taken in analyzing videotape recordings from the Rutgers-Kenilworth longitudinal study between February 6, 1992 and July 15, 2009 in the Robert B. Davis Institute of Learning archive, along with student work, questionnaires, and researcher field notes. To better understand the development of math ideas by tracing her knowing and sense-making, the research examined four sessions of Romina‘s problem-solving behavior in terms of justification, representation, and collaboration from fourth through twelfth grades. In addition, this study explored her mathematical beliefs based upon five interviews from high school, college, and her post-graduate career concerning her views about the knowledge, conditions, and processes of mathematical learning. Addressing a documented need in the literature for investigation of the interplay between personal epistemology and mathematical reasoning over time, this study contributes to a larger body of work considering how social interaction, teacher questioning, and task design affect a student‘s cognitive growth. The research suggests that Romina constructed mathematical ideas by building relationships among concepts and produced justifications through continuously evolving personal representations that promoted mathematical understanding. Further, the findings provide evidence that Romina engaged in a range of collaborative behaviors in which she questioned others‘ ideas, found teacher-researcher interaction a catalyst to her thinking, worked through frustration, and moved fluidly among many roles within the group – facilitator, manager, communicator, and secretary. Simultaneously, the data suggest she developed three very healthy mathematical beliefs involving the active construction of conceptual knowledge, learning environments that built ―comfortable‖ collaborative relationships while engaging in complex tasks over long periods of time, and, finally, a learning process of ―group thinking where personally relevant problems were shared, questioned, and argued. Through systematic examination of the relationship between Romina‘s beliefs and problem-solving behaviors, the results of this study imply specific instructional interventions that support the development of mathematical ideas and reasoning from elementary grades through college and into the workplace.

description: The goal of popular education, as articulated by Paulo Freire and others, is the transformation of communities and societies. There is in need to supplement existing literature with assessment of the outcomes of the practice of popular education in the US, especially under women's leadership. This qualitative research study assesses the outcomes of popular education practice through documentation of the post-training experiences and perceptions of 11 women participants in a popular education training program in the US: Learning - what they learned, Transfer - how the used what they learned and Impact - the effect of their practice on their organizations and communities.  The study found that 1) participants learned theory and skills in order to help people help themselves and experienced significant personal transformation at the same time; 2) participants were able to use TFCT methodologies within their own context to deal with issues of identity and organizational culture and 3) contextual impacts in US contexts are constrained by the diversities of organizational mandate and culture, receptiveness of learners and constraints within the methodology as learned to deal with diversities.  The study concluded that issues of personal transformation, power and positionality within an organization have a critical effect on ability to practice popular education effectively. It also concluded that the diversity and complexity of US contexts pose major challenges for women's leadership using Freire inspired theory and methodologies in the work of community transformation in the US.

Fostering effective mathematics teaching

description: Two decades ago the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics challenged  the mathematics education community to promulgate a comprehensive set of learning  goals for K-12 students that would guide mathematics curriculum, teaching, and  assessment for the future. One consequence was an emphasis on professional  development of teachers. Accordingly, in 2003, New York Cityʼs public schools started a  math coaching program, whereby math education experts worked closely with math  teachers for an extended period of time in the teachersʼ schools. This program became  an opportunity for important research regarding the effectiveness of coaching    This study describes the collaboration between one coach and one teacher in the  implementation of the coaching system. The researcher observed and videotaped a  lesson and the subsequent debriefing between the teacher and coach; and interviewed  the teacher, coach, and principal. The benefit to the classroom teacher was supported by analysis of the data. The  teacher reported that, for the first time, math was “fun,” she was more confident, and  more class time was devoted to mathematics. The teacher paid closer attention to  student work, reflected on her own practice, grouped students more beneficially,  encouraged them to interact, and to make their thinking public. She did not view  answers as just right or wrong, but rather as part of a process of making sense of ideas. The data suggest:  1. The teacher reported that some of her beliefs about math teaching had  changed due to the coaching process.  2. Teacher practices mirrored teacher beliefs. There are signs that the coaching  is influencing the teacherʼs practice.  3. The coach helped the teacher learn mathematics and pay attention to the  math learning of her students.  4. The teacher is in a state of transition in many of her emerging beliefs,  suggesting that some of them are fragile.    While results of the study are promising, further research is recommended to  examine long term effects of coaching with more teachers and coaches over several  cycles.

description: This research, a component of a year long National Science Foundation funded study, traces and documents how rational number ideas are built by students as they move from placing fractions on a line segment (finite concept) to placing fractions on an infinite number line (infinite concept).  The evidence is supported by representations used by students to express their ideas, explanations given by students and student justifications about their reasoning. The study was guided by the following research questions:  1. What evidence, if any, is there of the students' understanding of the idea of fraction as number?  2. How do students extend their understanding of fraction ideas to rational numbers?  3. What representations do students use to express their fraction ideas and extend these ideas to rational numbers?   The subjects consisted of a heterogeneous class of twenty-five, fourth grade (nine and early ten year old) students.  Digitized videos, transcripts, student work, observation notes, and student overhead transparencies comprised the data from extended classroom sessions, videotaped with three cameras. The study gives evidence that the students built understanding of fraction ideas such as equivalence and extended these ideas to negative fractions and improper fractions. It also showed that students successfully ordered fractions on line segments, then number lines, after working out distinctions between operator and number ideas. Student ideas revealed in these sessions showed that they were comfortable and successful with basic fraction operations. Lively classroom discussions and arguments worked out obstacles in the placement of fractions on a number line. Engagement in discussions about fraction ideas and negative fractions extended to rational numbers to include improper fractions as students identified equivalent number names for fractions. In the active student-centered environment the students worked together on tasks and shared their personal representations of rational number ideas and density of the rationals. This study provides detailed evidence that students can build understanding of fraction as number and successfully make connections to extend their understanding of number, generating and interest and understanding of fraction ideas that generally are not made accessible to students of this age.
