Multiculturalisme et marginalisation à Los Angeles. De Watts (1965) à South Central (1992)
No full textMulticulturalism and marginalization in Los Angeles. From Watts (1965) to South Central (1992), Cynthia Ghorra-Godin.
From the 1992 South Central events, the author looks on the major upheavals that have marked Los Angeles in the last two decades: the shifts in population composition since the spectacular arrival of the Hispanics, the socio-economic and inter-ethnic tensions stemming from de-industralization, the limits of political regulation. The sudden riots of 1992, just as the permanent tensions underlying urban life, reflect mainly the failure of a town planning which focused on spatial expansion and individual housing to the detriment of the development of a genuinely public space able to blend the various communities.Ghorra-Gobin Cynthia.

"Development of wireless fire products”
No full textThe project was to develop a radio controlled door holder system as the first in a range of radio based products for Stephenson Gobin Eng Co. Ltd. Stephenson Gobin manufacture and market a wide range of electromechanical products, including retaining devices for fire doors and smoke vents. Typical installations are in hospitals, nursing homes, shopping centers, hotels or any building open to the public. The author discusses why a radio controlled door holder system is commercially and technically viable. Various wired and Wirefree door holder systems are evaluated on merits of safety and ease of installation. Stephenson Gobin developed a bi-stable latching door holding device which consumed no current in a state that was capable of holding a fire door open. This was due to a rotating magnetic slug assembly which only drew current to latch from one state to other. The device needed to be controlled wirelessly and possible methods of communication were assessed. Communicating using the license free radio frequency spectrum was selected due to the falling costs of radio components and the huge growth in the radio communication sector. The author developed and tested the hardware and software necessary to communicate with and actuate such a device
Working it out: Acute exercise to combat anxiety, depression, and improve psychological well-being in individuals living with PTSD
No full textWhile a relatively new area of study, current literature shows exercise interventions to be highly successful at reducing symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and comorbid psychological conditions (e.g., anxiety & depression). Purpose: Examine the acute effects of a bout of moderate intensity continuous aerobic exercise (MIA) and a bout of high-intensity interval exercise (HIIE), relative to a no-exercise sedentary control (SED), in participants with subsyndromal PTSD. Methods: Participants [N= 24, 15 females; age (M ± SD); 25.9 ± 9.2 yrs; Estimated VO2peak (M ± SD); 34.6 ± 10.2 ml·kg-1·min-1] completed each of three randomly ordered 35-min conditions (HIIE, MIA, SED), followed by a 40-minute recovery/monitoring period. Subsyndromal PTSD was defined as having at least one symptom in each of the major DSM-5 clusters for PTSD. Affect (Energy, Tiredness, Tension, Calmness), State Anxiety, and Depression were assessed before (Pre), immediate after (Post0), 20-minutes after (Post20), and 40-minutes after (Post40) each condition. Exercise enjoyment was assessed immediately after each condition (Post0), and in-task affective valence was assessed every 5-minutes during MIA and SED, and after each set of exercise and rest during HIIE. Results: Anxiety and Depression were significantly reduced following all conditions, with larger effects observed for both HIIE and MIA relative to SED (although not significant). Post exercise enjoyment was not different between HIIE and MIA, but both were enjoyed more relative to SED. While in-task affective valence was significantly less positive during HIIE relative to both MIA and SED, and affective valence was significantly less positive during MIA relative to SED, affective valence was not different between conditions at Post40. All participants experienced a significant increase in affective valence at Post40 relative to Pre. Energy was significantly increased Post HIIE and MIA, while Energy was significantly decreased post SED. Additionally, Tension was significantly decreased and Calmness significantly increased by 40 minutes Post all conditions. Conclusion: This study is the first to assess the acute changes in psychological outcomes to various modes of exercise in individuals living with subsyndromal PTSD. Overall, both exercise conditions were well tolerated and significantly reduced anxiety, depression, and tiredness, while also significantly increasing energy and affective valence. With emerging evidence on the effectiveness of HIIE, this study gives ample evidence to explore a longitudinal study on HIIE effects within a population living with PTSD.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I Access', the embargo will last until 2019-08-01The student, Daniel Greene, accepted the attached license on 2017-06-07 at 12:18.The student, Daniel Greene, submitted this Dissertation for approval on 2017-06-07 at 12:33.This Dissertation was approved for publication on 2017-06-07 at 16:23.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #11199 on 2017-09-29 at 10:45:41Made available in DSpace on 2017-09-29T17:45:12Z (GMT).

De l’international au mondial : la CES aux prises avec la mondialisation
No full textL’auteure s’attache à étudier l’évolution de l’usage d’une famille de mots, le lexique qui désigne l’International, dans les résolutions de congrès adoptées par la Confédération européenne des syndicats depuis 1976. Elle constate globalement la montée des thèmes économiques au détriment des thèmes politiques ainsi que l’apparition de nouveaux mots, métaphore de l’apparition de nouveaux espaces qui s’échappent de l’emprise de l’« État national ».The author endeavours to study the evolution of a word family usage. The word family in question revolves around the notion of International as it appears in the resolutions of the European Trades Union Confederation annual conferences since 1976. On the whole she notices the rise of economic issues at the expense of political ones as well as the arrival of new words which can be seen as a metaphor for the appearance of new spaces which have slipped out of the « national State » control.La autora enfoca su estudio sobre la evolución del uso de una familia de palabras es decir el léxico que designa lo internacional en las resoluciones de los congresos adoptadas por la Confederación europea de los sindicatos desde 1976.

However, previous studies examining SA context have produced mixed results regarding its impact on wellness, particularly when examining the effect of survivor-perpetrator relationships and perpetrator sex. Using data from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance Survey (BRFSS), this study examined the effect of perpetrator relationships (former partner, current partner, stranger, relative, friend) and SA characteristics (SA type, survivor sex, perpetrator sex) on general health (GH), mental health (MH), physical health (PH), health-related quality of life (HRQL), and missed days of work (MDW) among sexual assault survivors (N =1,477). A path analysis revealed several direct and indirect pathways. More severe SA was directly and indirectly associated with worse GH, MH, PH, and MDW. Male perpetrator sex resulted in worse MH and PH (direct effect) and worse HRQL (indirect effect) while female perpetrator sex was directly associated with worse HRQL. Being a male survivor was indirectly associated with worse HRQL and MDW. Results of this study suggest that survivor-perpetrator relationships and SA characteristics matter for understanding survivor’s wellness. Future studies and interventions that acknowledge SA context may be useful for bolstering survivor recovery and effective treatment planning
Cocconeis arenicola Ryznik 1973
No full text<i>Comparison with Cocconeis arenicola</i> <p> <i>Cocconeis magnoareolata</i> sp. nov. with its large areolae may be compared to <i>C. arenicola</i> Ryznik, described from tidal flats in the Yaquina Estuary, USA, but the later differs by having larger valves (22–27 × 17–20 µm) and by its striae density, almost one third of that in our new species (7 vs 21–22 in 10 µm). Although <i>C. arenicola</i> was abundant in Yaquina Estuary, it has not been observed at any other geographic location. The type slide of this species (ANSP, slide no. 62634) has been examined. R.Z. Riznyk made seven small circles on the cover slip, and only two of these contain valves of <i>C. arenicola</i>. New images have been taken and illustrated here (Figs 8–9) to represent sternum and raphe valves. Sternum valve appears conforming to original description but the raphe valve does not seem to correspond to the description of the type by Riznyk (1973: pl. V, fig. 6). Striae density of both sternum and raphe valves described by the author is different from that observed in the type specimens. R.Z. Ryznyk gave seven striae in 10 µm on both valves, while the specimens in the type slide show 9–9.8 and 12–16 in 10 µm for sternum and raphe valves, respectively. Because of the very brief original description of this species, as well as of the varying of some features of the type specimens, an emended description is given below based on LM.</p>Published as part of <i>Al-Handal, Adil Y., Riaux-Gobin, Catherine, Jahn, Regine, Wulff, Angela Katarina & Minerovic, Alison, 2019, Two new marine species of Cocconeis (Bacillariophyceae) from the west coast of Sweden, pp. 1-16 in European Journal of Taxonomy 497</i> on page 12, DOI: 10.5852/ejt.2019.497, <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/2651618">http://zenodo.org/record/2651618</a>

Vulnerability risk factors and physiological mechanisms underlying the relationship between stressor exposure and mental health outcomes during the perinatal period
No full textStress can confer risk for psychological disorders through intersecting neurophysiological pathways. Although numerous vulnerability-risk factors have been identified to increase risk for stress-related disorders, the mechanisms underlying the relationship between stressor exposure and mental health outcomes during sensitive time periods, such as the perinatal, remain to be elucidated. Therefore, the goal of my dissertation is to further elucidate the psychosocial stress conditions driving perinatal mental health by focusing on the impact of both historical and concurrent stressor exposure as well as gut microbiota changes. Chapter 2 investigates the moderating effect of historical stressors (e.g., early adversity) on responsiveness of postpartum symptoms to a concurrent interpersonal stressor (e.g., relationship conflict). Chapter 3 investigates whether prenatal stress exposures are associated with alterations of the gut microbiota and whether dysbiosis could promote the development of psychological symptoms across the postpartum. Chapter 4 provides a discussion merging both studies. Results reveal that it may be important to address stressors even at levels below threshold values typically used to determine risk in a given screening or treatment setting based on historical and current stress context for a given woman. In addition, our study supports further investigation of the role of diversity within gut microbial communities for identifying women at most risk for stress-related perinatal mental health problems. Such findings could further guide efforts to prevent and treat stress-related disorders through pre/probiotic therapies regulating gut microbiota. Taken together, these two studies highlight the ongoing mental health risks women face as they navigate stressful life transitions and help to inform screening and intervention efforts across such transitions.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I Access', the embargo will last until 2023-08-01The student, Patricia Cintora, accepted the attached license on 2021-05-27 at 13:02.The student, Patricia Cintora, submitted this Dissertation for approval on 2021-05-27 at 17:53.This Dissertation was approved for publication on 2021-06-07 at 09:23.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #16661 on 2022-01-12 at 12:52:10Made available in DSpace on 2022-01-12T22:34:43Z (GMT).

The relationship between perceived stigma of HIV and willingness to be tested for HIV among young African American men who have sex with men in Illinois
No full textYoung African American men who have sex with men (YAAMSM) between the ages of 18-24 have a disproportionate rate of HIV. According to the CDC, YAAMSM account for more new infections in the United States than any other subgroup by race/ethnicity, age, and sex (CDC, 2016). To curtail the staggering rates of HIV, it is important to understand why YAAMSM are least likely to know their HIV status. The purpose of this dissertation is to examine the relationship between perceived stigma of HIV and willingness to be tested for HIV among YAAMSM in Illinois. There are disproportionate rates of HIV among YAAMSM between the ages of 18-24. This study implored a mixed methodological approach to explore the following: Aim 1) the trends of YAAMSM in Illinois; Aim 2) the role of stigma in the lives of YAAMSM in Illinois; and Aim 3) the role of stigma as a deterrent for YAAMSM being tested for HIV. To reach these aims, the following methods were utilized: HIV-antibody Testing Attitude Scale questionnaires were completed by 100 participants, secondary data analysis of the Illinois Department of Public Health’s Integrated HIV/STI Testing database was completed, and focus group were conducted with YAAMSM in two number of Illinois cities among 14 participants. The study findings revealed that HIV-related stigma plays a role in the daily lives of YAAMSM and impacts HIV testing decisions. Cultural representation is an HIV testing cue to action for YAAMSM. This research has the potential to help improve HIV prevention programming, service delivery and policy development. Tailored HIV testing services should take into consideration the social and cultural needs of YAAMSM instead of using a “one size fits all” approach.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'Closed Access', the embargo will last until 2022-08-01The student, Gina Lathan, accepted the attached license on 2020-07-09 at 12:17.The student, Gina Lathan, submitted this Dissertation for approval on 2020-07-09 at 12:36.This Dissertation was approved for publication on 2020-07-17 at 12:38.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #15544 on 2020-10-02 at 15:50:06Made available in DSpace on 2020-10-07T22:49:50Z (GMT).
