    Relation between parent feeding and emotional overeating in preschoolers as mediated by emotion regulation

    Emotional overeating is defined as eating in response to negative emotions, and the shift from emotional undereating to overeating around the preschool years indicates environmental influences. Parent feeding practices such as using food to regulate emotions and behavior may impede children’s ability to regulate their emotions, leading to emotional overeating. This study analyzed the relation between parent feeding practices, child emotion regulation, and emotional overeating in 4- and 5-year-old children. For study 1, mothers of 4- and 5-year-old children completed online questionnaires through MTurk and Prolific. Questionnaires measured parent feeding practices, emotion regulation, and emotional overeating. Parent use of food to control emotions and behaviors was positively correlated with emotional overeating. Additionally, parent use of food to control emotions and behavior predicted higher levels of emotional overeating, and this was independently mediated by Child Emotion Regulation and Child Lability/Negativity. Study 2 was a pilot study examining the feasibility of an fNIRS emotion regulation task in preschool children. Outcome variables included whether children could complete the task, their accuracy across conditions, and the fNIRS signal quality during the task. Although more data needs to be collected to determine whether both 4 year-old and 5 year-old children can complete the task, these initial data indicate that adequate signal quality can be obtained when using fNIRS in preschool samples. Overall, this study sheds light on potential environmental influences and parenting practices associated with emotional overeating in preschool children

    In God\u27s hands: Faith healing, epilepsy, and the question of human rights

    Get PDF
    This thesis highlights the historical link between people with epilepsy (PWE) and demonic possession. The discussion traces origins of these views from antiquity to the contemporary era, foregrounding media and scholarship that emphasizes the negative perceptions of PWE developed through Christian teaching and imagery. It explores the question of whether the social isolation, abuse, and violence committed against PWE, through Christian faith healing practices such as exorcism, developed in relation to these stigmatizing views and whether these constitute a human rights violation in accordance with conventions put forth by the United Nations

    Towards a prototype paleo-detector for supernova neutrino and dark matter detection

    Using ancient minerals as paleo-detectors is a proposed experimental technique expected to transform supernova neutrino and dark matter detection. In this technique, minerals are processed and closely analyzed for nanometer scale damage track remnants from nuclear recoils caused by supernova neutrinos and possibly dark matter. These damage tracks present the opportunity to directly detect and characterize the core-collapse supernova rate of the Milky Way Galaxy as well as the presence of dark matter. Current literature presents theoretical estimates for these potential tracks, however, there is little research investigating the experimental feasibility of this technique. At the University of North Florida, we have contributed to the field by searching for and analyzing these damage tracks in prototype detectors constructed from selected minerals, including: halite, Muscovite mica, and Phlogopite mica. This research seeks to characterize the applicable backgrounds in these prototype detectors. We have employed non-destructive techniques, including laser confocal and atomic force microscopy to identify and characterize damage tracks in the minerals. Chemical etching and plasma etching of target minerals is used to enhance the detectability of these damage tracks at the expense of altering some of their geometrical attributes. With the use of an etching rate model and automatic track detection via Python, damage track lengths will be reconstructed. Our data is compared to current theoretical predictions to pursue the practical implementation of paleo-detectors as local core-collapse supernova neutrino and dark matter detectors
