The E.A. Martin Program supports nutritional research involving a wide variety of disciplines. Active research projects provide SDSU faculty and students the opportunity to expand their knowledge base and participate in research. The South Dakota Rural Bone Health Study is one of the largest research studies conducted within the Ethel Austin Martin Program. Other current and past projects are highlighted here, followed by a list of previous projects
South Dakota Rural Bone Health Study
Full text linkArchived : 2024-01-11
The aim of this study was to determine whether a rural lifestyle leads to high bone density in young adulthood and lowers the rate of bone loss later in life. Over 1,500 men and women aged 20 to 65 years with equal numbers of Hutterites, rural non-Hutterites and non-rural non-Hutterites were followed longitudinally. Yearly blood samples, bone measurements and regular assessments of activity levels and dietary intake were obtained. The project will determine whether bone density during young adulthood and the rate of later bone loss among the Hutterite population is similar to other populations, and whether greater activity levels and calcium intake can account for the high bone density observed among the Hutterites. We also investigated genetic factors affecting bone strength. Further understanding of the role of genetics and lifestyle factors as determinants of bone density among Hutterites is necessary because they appear to be less likely to develop osteoporosis than the normal U.S. population

The advancement of knowledge in the science of human nutrition is approached through both research and educational programs. There are active research projects initiated from within the E.A. Martin Program, as well as collaborative efforts with other investigators from SDSU and the region. Financial support in the form of pilot project awards is provided to faculty at SDSU who propose collaborative nutrition projects that utilize a multidisciplinary approach. Educational programs include formal courses, as well as support for invited seminar speakers. The annual E.A. Martin Distinguished Lecture in Human Nutrition has been a long standing tradition at SDSU, bringing in world-renowned speakers in the field of human nutrition. Both the research and educational programs have a multidisciplinary approach to human nutrition
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
