Genuine and Narcissistic Altruism are Differentially Related to Anger-, Shame-, and Joy-Related Dispositions
Get PDFWhereas greater genuine altruism (doing good without expecting benefits to the self) was most associated with reduced propensities for anger and shame, greater narcissistic altruism (doing good to receive benefits like admiration) was most associated with higher propensities for and rumination on anger. Neither was particularly associated with joy dispositions.https://digitalcommons.snc.edu/collaborative_presentations/1085/thumbnail.jp
Situating Views of Learning, Achievement, and Assessment Within Higher Education: The Impact of Collective Epistemology
Get PDFDo experienced college professors, experts in their fields, hold relatively similar epistemological beliefs, or do epistemological views vary regularly by academic discipline? College professors’ epistemological views and implicit theory of learning will impact their teaching practices. An educator will teach, assess, and provide feedback all through their views. What they define as success and student achievement might differ depending on their implicit beliefs of learning. To research and compare epistemological views, structured interviews will be conducted with professors from several disciplines and institutions, and these will be analyzed.https://digitalcommons.snc.edu/collaborative_presentations/1084/thumbnail.jp
Exploring the effects of β-N-methylamino-L-alanine on Schmidtea mediterranea’s GluN1/GluN2A NMDA receptor subunits.
Get PDFβ-N-methylamino-L-alanine, also known as BMAA, is a neurotoxin produced by several species of cyanobacteria and eukaryotic microorganisms such as diatoms and dinoflagellates. BMAA has been implicated in neurodegenerative diseases such as ALS, Parkinson’s disease, and dementia. Being that it biomagnifies through the food chain, accumulation occurs in its symbionts like cycad seeds and seafood, and eventually gets ingested by humans causing possible neuronal consequences. There is evidence that BMAA agonizes N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors, a family of L-glutamate receptors that play a critical role in learning and memory, inducing excitotoxicity against neurons. However, exactly how it causes death of motor neurons and how its actions may interact with other neurotoxins or pathological conditions, is not well understood. The focus of this study is to explore planarians (Schmidtea mediterranea) as a suitable model system to study the effects of BMAA. Because planarians contain endogenous glutamate and express genes for glutamate receptors, they are a desirable model for investigating a role for NDMA receptors in BMAA exposure. The present study focused on the following hypothesis (1) planarians are a suitable model system to study the effects of BMAA (2) NMDA receptor agonism through BMAA and ethanol exposure induces motor neuronal damage/death in planarians.https://digitalcommons.snc.edu/collaborative_presentations/1072/thumbnail.jp
