Understanding Barriers to Timely Enrollment of Early Intervention Services for Children who are Deaf and Hard of Hearing
Get PDFAlthough the Joint Committee on Infant Hearing guidelines recommend that children who are deaf and hard of hearing should begin early intervention by six months of age, prior work has revealed a substantial percentage of children who receive a diagnosis of hearing loss by three months of age but do not enroll in early intervention by six months of age (Grey et al., 2022). To further understand barriers to enrollment in early intervention for these families, we completed qualitative semi-structured interviews with 10 caregivers of children who were diagnosed with hearing loss by three months of age but did not begin early intervention by six months. We recruited from participants in Grey et al. (2022). Interviews were coded using the Bioecological Model of Human Development (Bronfenbrenner & Morris, 2007) as a guiding framework. The interviews revealed widespread barriers encountered by families of children who are deaf and hard of hearing across ecological systems, ranging from child characteristics to macro-level issues like insurance coverage. To ensure that all children who are diagnosed with hearing loss have timely access to early intervention, changes to current policy and practice are needed across multiple ecological systems

Exploring Practical Measures as an Approach for Measuring Elementary Students’ Attitudes Towards Computer Science
Get PDFThis paper presents a novel approach for predicting the outcomes of elementary students’ participation in computer science (CS) instruction by using exit tickets, a type of practical measure, where students provide rapid feedback on their instructional experiences. Such feedback can help teachers to inform ongoing teaching and instructional practices. We fit a Structural Equation Model to examine whether students\u27 perceptions of enjoyment, ease, and connections between mathematics and CS in an integrated lesson predicted their affective outcomes in self-efficacy, interest, and CS identity, collected in a pre- post- survey. We found that practical measures can validly measure student experiences
Cosmos for Cut Flower Production in Utah
Get PDFCosmos are one of the easiest and most productive cut flowers to grow. As a warm-season annual, blooms are prolific and continued, making cosmos a staple, cut-and-come-again flower. The plants tolerate low water conditions, poor soil, and low maintenance, and perform better in fields than high tunnels. Available in shades ranging from whites and blushes to cranberry and orange, cosmos provide popular colors and airy textures for floral design work, particularly in late summer weddings and events
Assessing Impact of Food Structure on Oral Tribology and In-Vitro Digestion of Dairy Products
Get PDFIn this research, we focused on understanding the critical elements impacting consumer experience and the nutritional value of dairy products, specifically their texture, mouthfeel, and protein breakdown in the gastrointestinal tract. Our study aimed to accomplish two main goals. First, we performed analysis of the tribological attributes of various commercially dairy products. The second objective was to investigate the process of disintegration and protein release in selected dairy products.
The study included an assessment of eight dairy products of varied consistencies: solid like cheddar, cheese curd, and parmesan; semi-solid such as cottage cheese, ricotta cheese, and yogurt; and liquid represented by milk and whey protein beverage. To achieve our objectives, we used variety of techniques like tribology, particle size examination, and SDS PAGE. We measured the samples\u27 mouthfeel via tribology. Furthermore, we examined the particle size distribution, a significant factor affecting mouthfeel.
The findings indicate differences among the samples based on the Stribeck curve at various sliding speeds. Liquid dairy products displayed considerably higher friction (p \u3c 0.05) compared to semi-solid and solid dairy items, likely due to their unique food structures, protein levels, and moisture content.
The second phase involved the in-vitro digestion of three structurally distinct dairy products using the INFOGEST protocol. The purpose was to understand the process of disintegration and protein release during the gastric and intestinal phases at specific time intervals. The outcomes highlighted the differences among liquid, semi-solid, and solid samples at different stages of the in-vitro digestion process (G0, G15, G30, G60, I5, I30, I60, I120, I180). For instance, liquid dairy items, such as milk, displayed a significantly quicker release of soluble protein compounds during the gastric phase when compared to solid dairy products like cheddar cheese. These varied protein degradation rates were primarily due to the differences in protein content and food structure.
By examining the tribological properties and in-vitro digestibility of dairy products, this study offers valuable insights into the mechanics of texture, mouthfeel, and protein release. The findings of this research can help food industry professionals develop innovative dairy products, augment their nutritional worth, and boost consumer satisfaction
