People Have Awareness of Their Participation in the Construction of the Sacred
Get PDFThis article deals with Jonathan Z. Smith’s analysis of Emile Durkheim’s systematization and classification of religion. Through analysis of a case study and anthropological work, the article delineates the differences between the German and French ways of classifying and understanding religion
Religious Analysis, Gender, and Aesthetic Judgement
Get PDFHow do our cultural lenses affect our aesthetic judgments? Are our perceptions of gender nothing more than aesthetic judgments we\u27re trained to make? By exploring a breadth of religious experiences and analyses I attempt to show how our perception of gender is rooted primarily in images and the ways we\u27re trained to see them
Effects of Bisphenol-S and Estrogen on p53 Expression in Ovarian Tissue of Zebrafish (Danio rerio)
Get PDFBisphenol A (BPA) is one the most widely used plasticizing compounds. As an endocrine disruptor, BPA could affect ovarian function and embryonic development. Bisphenol S (BPS) has been used in many plastics and resins in lieu of BPA. However, the effects of BPS are not widely known. Apoptosis is a type of genetically programmed cell death that is important in ovarian homeostasis. One of the genes that regulates apoptosis, p53, has been shown to respond to estrogen in maintaining ovarian homeostasis. We have investigated how exposure to estrogen and to BPS affects p53 expression in ovarian tissue in vitro. Zebrafish ovarian tissue was exposed to 0.01, 0.1, and 1.0 mM of BPS or estradiol (E2) and gene expression was quantified using qPCR. Results confirmed non-monotonic dose responses to both BPS and E2, with a trend of increased p53 expression at the higher concentration of BPS, while the higher concentration of E2 resulted in a trend of decreased p53 expression. These data suggest that BPS has the potential to affect ovarian homeostasis

Timing is Everything: Temporal Dynamics of Brain Activity Using the Human Connectome Project
Get PDFMost neuroimaging studies produce snapshots of brain activity. The goal of this project is to examine the temporal dynamics of how these areas interact through time, using fear as a case study to assess how regions involved in fear interact. Working with Matlab computer code, I sort through the large fMRI dataset known as the Human Connectome Project to extract neuroimaging data from patients with different NIH Toolbox Fear-Somatic survey scores to assess the temporal dynamics between brain regions. The results will allow an understanding beyond which areas are involved, and instead will provide a picture of how these areas interact with each other through time
Cultural Identity Silencing of Native Americans in Education
Get PDFThis descriptive phenomenological study investigated: How is cultural identity silencing psychologically experienced by young adult Native Americans in education? Cultural identity silencing is the denial of the existence of cultural identity. Phenomenological interviewing and Giorgian analysis resulted in a descriptive structure of how cultural identity silencing is psychologically experienced by Native Americans in educational settings. These results contribute to a greater understanding of how Native Americans experience colonialist educational systems and thus has implications for survivance, identity development, and the decolonialization of education
Head-Shake Sensory Organization Test Performance in Concussed Military Service Members.
Get PDFTitle: Head-Shake Sensory Organization Test Performance in Concussed Military Service Members.
Purpose: The purpose of the study was to describe performance on the Sensory Organization Test (SOT) and Head-Shake SOT (HS-SOT) in military service members with concussions.
Subjects: Seventeen military service members (16 men, mean 32.47 +/-8.01 years) who sustained a concussion within the past 24 months.
Methods: Participants completed the SOT and HS-SOT, Activities-specific Balance Confidence scale (ABC), and Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI). Separate analyses were performed with subjects divided into groups based on concussion history(\u3e3), and DHI score (\u3e13).
Results: Participants had a mean DHI score of 23.53 (+/-18.42), ABC of 85.43% (+/-14.15), SOT composite score of 71.53 (+/-16.58), HS-SOT/fixed surface (FS) and sway-referenced surface (SR) ratios of .98 (+/-1.13) and .74 (+/-.34), respectively. There were no differences in outcomes when groups were stratified by DHI score or concussion history, with the exception of a higher equilibrium ratio on HS-SOT/SR in participants with a concussion history of \u3e3 than participants with fewer than 3 concussions (1.02, .60, respectively, p =.017).
Conclusions: Our results suggest that despite evidence of imbalance and dizziness on validated patient-reported outcome measures, the SOT and HS-SOT did not detect differences in balance performance.These results highlight the need to identify objective performance-based measures to quantify post-concussive balance deficits.
Clinical Relevance: SOT composite scores may not be sensitive to measure balance deficits following concussion in this population, despite evidence of imbalance and dizziness. Further research is needed to determine whether the HS-SOT is a valid measure to guide clinical decision making
