Self-Actualization Wellness: A Developmental Approach to Predicting and Reducing College Student Stress Related to Person and Environment Variables
No full text193 leavesDespite the growing recognition on the importance of mental health and wellbeing, college
students’ mental health and wellbeing continue to decline. Given this information, research is
needed to explore potential predictors of college student stress. Utilizing a theoretical model of
Self-Actualization Wellness and the Person-Environment Fit Theory, the purpose of this study
was to explore potential predictors that may impact college students’ wellness. More specifically,
the extent to which a higher level of development in each of the seven dimensions of the
theoretical model of Self-Actualization Wellness reduces the impact of college student stressors
and areas of concern. Identified areas of college student stress or concern are a) person variables
and b) environment variables. A quantitative approach and survey methodology were utilized in
this study. Moreover, participants included 199 college-aged students, mostly undergrads, from
universities in the central United States. Independent samples t-test revealed males had a higher
mean self-sufficiency, self-care, self-assess, self-advocate, and self-advocate score than females.
Furthermore, hierarchical regression analyses suggested that gender, ethnicity, age, intelligence
beliefs of a growth mindset, level of extroversion, and six of the seven dimensions of Self
Actualization Wellness (self-sufficiency, self-care, self-social understanding, self-assess, self
advocate, and self-compassion) statistically significantly predicted person variables and
environment variables. Recommendations for college students, postsecondary institutions, and
policy makers and discussed, along with recommendations for future research

What is the Effectiveness of Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) on Increasing Activities of Daily Living (ADL) Performance for Individuals With a Stroke?
No full textBACKGROUND: Stroke is a prevalent diagnosis that impacts more than 795,000 people per year in the United States. Individuals experiencing stroke have a variety of symptoms which impact activities of daily living (ADLs) and often present with symptoms such as paralysis and weakness in one or both sides of the body, difficulties with cognition, communication deficits, and impaired sensation. There are a variety of interventions used to help individuals regain function following a stroke.
AIM: This critically appraised topic (CAT) is aimed at determining the effectiveness of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) on improving ADL performance in adult patients post stroke.
METHODS: Level I systematic reviews and randomized control trials were analyzed and included in the CAT if they were published in the last 10 years. These articles included adults with a diagnosed ischemic stroke, hemorrhagic stroke, or stroke-like condition which were accompanied by motor deficits or hemiparesis that received a form of NMES as an intervention to increase performance in ADLs.
RESULTS: Level I research completed revealed strong, positive evidence regarding the impact of NMES interventions on improving ADL performance for individuals with a stroke or stroke-like condition
The efficacy of the Association of Art Museum Directors’ online antiquities registry
No full textHigh-profile international legal suits and the gradual establishment of legal precedence for repatriation cases in the U.S. under the National Stolen Property Act and the Cultural Property Implementation Act of 1983 have coincided with the Association of Art Museum Directors (AAMD) adopting codes of ethics and recommended guidelines for member museum acquisitions. When the AAMD Subcommittee on the Acquisition of Archaeological Materials and Ancient Art issued its 2008 report, it established the online Registry of New Acquisitions of Archaeological Material and Works of Ancient Art to help member museums efficiently disseminate information about recent acquisitions with incomplete provenance. This is the first systematic analysis of its contents. Using data from 325 listings (as of January 2012) by eleven participating institutions, this paper argues that museums are not sufficiently vigilant about following the AAMD's 2008 guidelines.M.A.Includes bibliographical referencesby Alyssa Cathleen Hage

The Empathetic Author in the Internet Age: The Victorian Serialized Novel and the Internet Serial as Social Experience
No full text“Alyssa’s essay grew out of an assignment for my spring 2017 seminar on George Eliot’s Middlemarch, a novel that is both critically acclaimed and beloved by (many) readers. Rather than requiring everyone to write a research essay on Middlemarch, I invited students to pursue a topic of their choice that related in some way to novels and readers. I encouraged them, if they had something in mind that they’d always wanted to write about, to take this opportunity to do so. Alyssa chose to write this deeply researched, very insightful essay connecting serialized texts then and now.” – Juliette WellsSerialized fiction was the norm in the 19th century, and now, in the 21st, it’s making a comeback. This paper explores the differences between serialization then and now, paying special attention to the impacts of author-reader interaction. With serial publication, the author and reader communicate during the writing process, but between the 19th and 21st centuries, the purposes and consequences of these communications vary. In the 19th century, flagging magazine sales could be the death sentence to a novel-in-progress; this paper asks how the content of those novels had to adapt itself to minimize the risk of being dropped. Today, the Internet has opened the door to serialization as an alternative to traditional publishing; this paper asks which authors, demographically, take the serialization versus traditional route, and how author-reader interaction has created a print culture of empathy that many find lacking in traditional publishing.
My interest in this topic is personal, as co-writer of the web serial Prairie Song. As I made connections in online serialization, I realized how under-researched Internet serialization is as a contemporary print culture. I wanted to explore the motivations and outcomes of Internet serialization as compared to our cultural baseline for serialized fiction: the works of Dickens, Eliot, and their contemporaries.https://blogs.goucher.edu/verge/the-empathetic-author-in-the-internet-age-the-victorian-serialized-novel-and-the-internet-serial-as-social-experience
