Addressing Disordered Eating and Eating Disorders in Overweight and Obese Individuals: Effects of In-Service Provider and Dietitian Training
Full text linkDesign: Quasi-experimental Methods: This study examined the impact of in-service training on clinicians in a Medical Weight Management program regarding their comfort, confidence, knowledge, and familiarity with eating disorders in overweight and obese patients. A pre-test/post-test design measured changes before and after the intervention. Setting: Virtual administration Participants: 27 participants completed pre- and post-test data (14 providers, 13 dietitians). Intervention: A single virtual in-service training session was delivered via a 40-minute presentation created by the principal investigator, using evidence-based resources to address knowledge gaps on disordered eating and eating disorders. Results: The training increased staff’s self-reported comfort, confidence, knowledge, and familiarity levels. Statistically significant improvements were observed across all domains when data from both groups were combined. Dietitians showed significant improvement in comfort; providers showed significant improvements in comfort and confidence. No significant changes were noted for dietitians’ confidence, knowledge, or familiarity, or for providers' knowledge and familiarity. Conclusions and Implications: Training sessions for weight management clinicians can bridge knowledge gaps surrounding disordered eating and eating disorders among overweight and obese patients. By enhancing the staff’s comfort, confidence, knowledge, and familiarity with these conditions, clinicians will be more equipped to recognize early signs and symptoms that might otherwise be overlooked. This proactive approach is essential for clinicians providing informed and individualized care, promoting proper identification and treatment of disordered eating behaviors, fostering safe and sustainable weight loss and preventing mismanagement of underlying eating disorders.VoRSUNY OneontaHuman EcologyM
BUILDING INCLUSIVE LEARNING COMMUNITIES THROUGH CULTURALLY RESPONSIVE-SUSTAINING PRACTICES
Full text linkThis project explores how implementing culturally responsive-sustaining strategies can foster inclusive, welcoming learning environments for all students. Centered on an elementary public school in an affluent New York community, the research highlights the often-overlooked presence of multilingual families who enrich the school’s population. As student demographics continue to diversify, schools must adopt practices that affirm and celebrate both students’ and educators’ cultural identities. Guided by the NYSED’s (2018) Culturally Responsive-Sustaining (CR-S) Framework, the PD in this capstone promotes a schoolwide intervention designed to create positive learning spaces that validate the cultural and linguistic assets of all multilingual learners (MLLs). Sustainable recommendations include nurturing strong student-teacher relationships, engaging and valuing families as essential partners, and continuing to reflect on positionality and its influence on instruction. Ultimately, this capstone aims to celebrate diversity, promote equity, and inspire schools to cultivate and sustain transformational educational communities where all learners and faculty feel represented, valued, and empowered.SUNY BrockportDepartment of Education and Human Developmen
Printed Circuit Board Design II (DRAF 227) course syllabus
Full text linkIn this course, students will build upon their knowledge and practical skills in the complete Printed Circuit Board (PCB) design process. The course begins with mastering the key features of Altium Designer, a professional PCB Electronic Computer-Aided Design (ECAD) software, covering topics such as the user interface, project creation, schematic entry, PCB layout, documentation, and fabrication outputs. Students will then apply this knowledge by designing a real-world application and verifying its operation by prototyping the design with actual components. Throughout the process, they will troubleshoot and adjust the design as needed, complete the schematic and board layout, and generate the necessary documentation and fabrication files to send to a PCB manufacturer. Once the manufactured PCB is received, students will solder the components onto the board and verify its operation. Finally, students will generate a report to document the project. Upon successful completion, students will receive a globally recognized Altium Essentials certification from Altium, demonstrating their PCB design expertise to potential employers.Pathways 2022-2023SUNY Tompkins Cortland Community Colleg
Ensuring and Proliferating Successful Outcomes for Educators and Students Through Effective Integrated Co-Teaching in the TESOL Setting
Full text linkThis capstone examines how education professionals support English Language Learners (ELLs) through co-teaching. This is in response to a two-fold problem. First, integrated co-teaching is lacking in the TESOL education sector. Second, education professionals lack the knowledge, preparedness, and professional development necessary for co-teaching to be established and conducted effectively. This is supported by the conclusions and themes of various research data, which are examined in this capstone. As an answer and mitigation of the problem, this capstone includes a professional development (PD) with research on three themes: collaboration is an asset to educators, to students/ELLs, and it requires continued, on-going professional learning for success. Hence, this capstone aims to connect the PD product with these themes and guide education professionals and ELLs to success.SUNY BrockportDepartment of Education and Human Developmen
Groundskeeper Apprenticeship Curriculum Justification
Full text linkThis new, one-of-a-kind course will require all materials to be developed from scratch. The majority of this course will be self-paced and run asynchronously. However, because it is the apprentice’s introduction to the related instruction component, there will be regularly scheduled check ins, assignments and meetings with the instructor.Orientation to Turfgrass Apprenticeship is designed to introduce apprentices and pre-apprentices to the related instruction component of the Groundskeeper apprenticeship. Students in this course will learn how to navigate D2L, the online learning delivery platform. Many of the related instruction courses offered in this program will require students to complete tasks/projects at their place of employment. These tasks will need to be documented in an apprenticeship portfolio to demonstrate completion and understanding of the tasks. This course will also serve to provide students with a firm understanding of how to complete their apprenticeship portfolio. The portfolio will be a working document and will be updated each semester as the student progresses through the related instruction. Students in this program will also be required to come to SUNY Delhi each January that they are enrolled in the program for a hands-on component in several courses. The requirements and expectations for this portion of the courses will also be covered in Orientation to Turfgrass Apprenticeship.NAN/ASUNY DelhiAA
Sex, Power, & Social Change - Honors (GST 24000) class syllabus
Full text linkWe will explore sex, gender, and sexuality with a focus on identity and activism and examine how language reflects and constitutes intersectional sex, gender, and sexual identities through history and across cultures. We will also investigate how sex, gender, and sexuality activism are intertwined with how we conceive the world, use language, and communicate. These explorations will take us through topics such as beauty ideals, the U.S., women’s movement, homosexuality's through history, modern gay liberation, international women’s rights, the telling of history (historiography), and how activism is conceptualized.

We're all Just Soil-Mates: Evaluating the Influence of Soil Characteristics on Earthworms in Northern New York
No full textEarthworms impact soil structure and biogeochemical cycling which influences community diversity and ecosystem functioning. They serve to buffer soil acidity, increase organic matter, homogenize soils through bioturbation, and make nutrients more accessible. Harmful invasive earthworm species, including the Asian jumping worm (Amynthas agrestis) have been identified in 38 of the 50 states, and in one Canadian Province. Studies have shown that non-native earthworms are litter dwelling and redistribute key soil nutrients away from native plant communities. Understanding patterns of earthworm distribution and abundance will help us prepare for shifts in ecosystem stability and functioning. I aimed to compare earthworm communities along a land-use gradient in Clinton and Essex counties in northern NY. In fall 2025, following the Ecological Research as Education Network (EREN) WORM protocols, I used vermifugation techniques to survey for earthworms. Earthworms were preserved and identified using dichotomous keys and site characteristics were collected including soil (e.g., pH, moisture, organic carbon, leaf litter depth), as well as dominant over and understory species. All sites containing worms were dominated by the non-native common nightcrawler (Lumbricus terrestris) known to outcompete native species, consumes leaf litter, and releases carbon. Earthworm diversity was greatest (S=4) at the rural site (Morrisonville) which was a heterogeneous site located adjacent to Riley Brook potentially providing amenable conditions during this drought year. Morrisonville also had one of the highest soil pH levels, lower organic carbon and was dry, likely forcing the species deeper into burrows. The Morrisonville worm community also contained non-native redheaded worms (L. rubellus), redworms (Eisenia fetida), and octagonal-tailed worm (Dendrobaena octaedra) who are smaller epigeic species that live in surface leaf litter. Northern sites (Ellenburg and Churubuco) were devoid of worms, perhaps explained by this season’s drought conditions or that they were surrounded by agricultural land-use. The site with the greatest soil moisture (Peaseleeville) and highest acidity did contain the greatest worm abundance. Regional monitoring of earthworm communities is needed to identify areas prime for earthworm invasion and protect habitats containing sensitive native plant communities.SUNY PlattsburghCenter for Earth & Environmental Scienc

Hopis and the Counterculture Traditionalism, Appropriation, and the Birth of a Social Field
No full textDr. Brian Haley from the Department of Anthropology present his recently published book Hopis and the Counterculture: Traditionalism, Appropriation, and the Birth of a Social Field.This book addresses how the Hopi became icons of the followers of alternative spiritualities and reveals one of the major pathways for the explosive appropriation of Indigenous identities in the 1960s. It reveals a largely unknown network of Native, non-Indian, and neo-Indian actors who spread misrepresentations of the Hopi that they created through interactions with the Hopi Traditionalist faction of the 1940s through 1980s. Significantly, many non-Hopis involved adopted Indian identities during this time, becoming "neo-Indians." Exploring the new social field that developed to spread these ideas, Hopis and the Counterculture meticulously traces the trajectories of figures such as Ammon Hennacy, Craig Carpenter, Frank Waters, and the Firesign Theatre, among others.VoRSUNY OneontaAnthropologyN/
