Archaeal Paradigms
Title
Archaeal Paradigms: How Chromatin Structure and Gene Regulation Can Elucidate the Origin of the Domains.
Creator
Steiner, Bradley, Department of Psychology
Abstract/Description
In order to increase our understanding of the relationship between domains we must move beyond traditional phylogenetic approaches and attempt to group species and domains in new and different ways. This paper is an analysis of various efforts to do just that and further posits the potential value of new advances in genetics and chromatin biology towards that purpose. With the advent of high resolution temporal nucleosome mapping techniques developed by the Dennis Laboratory at the Florida...

This paper is an analysis of various efforts to do just that and further posits the potential value of new advances in genetics and chromatin biology towards that purpose. With the advent of high resolution temporal nucleosome mapping techniques developed by the Dennis Laboratory at the Florida State University we now have new tools at our disposal to assay the relationships between species and to potentially help elucidate the origin of the domains.

Are Implicit Learning Abilities in Language and Music Related?.
Creator
Boebinger, Dana, Psychology
Abstract/Description
One active area of psycholinguistics research seeks to determine whether language acquisition occurs through domain-specific processes or domain-general processes. In other words, are the cognitive resources dedicated to language learning specific to language, or are they part of a more general learning mechanism? One intriguing strategy for investigating this question is through the comparative use of language and music: each is a complex system in which basic auditory elements are combined...
Show moreOne active area of psycholinguistics research seeks to determine whether language acquisition occurs through domain-specific processes or domain-general processes. In other words, are the cognitive resources dedicated to language learning specific to language, or are they part of a more general learning mechanism? One intriguing strategy for investigating this question is through the comparative use of language and music: each is a complex system in which basic auditory elements are combined in hierarchical sequences governed by abstract rules. To understand either language or music, a person must learn these syntactic rules and generalize them to new situations. This study used an artificial grammar construct to investigate whether people learn and process musical and linguistic syntax similarly, and whether there is a correlation between a person's ability to learn complex grammatical systems in multiple modalities. The effect of previous musical experience on sequence learning was also examined. Results showed virtually no correlation between the three implicit learning tasks, suggesting that there is no domain-general implicit learning ability.

Show moreThe increase of military suicide rates has received substantial attention from scholars over the past few years. Accordingly, this trend has become the object of study for numerous researchers, but gaps exist in evaluating components of the military branches of service (i.e. Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps) as separate entities. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the core constructs of the Interpersonal Theory of Suicide (i.e. thwarted belongingness, perceived burdensomeness, acquired capability), number of deployments, and sex using a sample of Army personnel (N=1540). Multiple regressions equations were calculated to predict thwarted belongingness (TB) and acquired capability (AC) based on number of deployments and gender, and a logistic regression equation was calculated to predict perceived burdensomeness (PB) based on number of deployments and gender. Gender was found to be predictive of AC and number of deployments was trending. Gender and number of deployments were not predictive of TB and PB. Researchers would benefit from further evaluating these constructs as they relate to an Army population. Furthermore, a longitudinal design to understand in greater depth how these constructs, especially AC, present from pre-deployment to post-deployment should be considered for future endeavors.

Show moreMusic education as an academic subject in American schools owes much of its existence and current success to advocacy. Beginning with Lowell Mason’s 19th century public performance in Boston and continuing today with legislative agendas promoted by the National Association for Music Education, advocacy is inseparable from the history of music education in the United States. In a culture where public policy often impacts the success of music in schools, it is important to consider that educators in the field may be best poised to develop and advocate for effective policies that enhance music education for all. While there is a great deal of information available regarding best advocacy practices for current and past teachers, little is known about the political understanding and experiences of pre-service music educators currently enrolled in undergraduate programs. What do pre-service music educators in Florida think and know about music education advocacy and the political systems that run our country, and what can we infer about the potential political consequences that may occur in music education when these undergraduates enter the profession? Through ten focus group sessions with participants studying music education and other fields of education across the state of Florida, I collected qualitative statements that spoke to their current knowledge, beliefs, and behaviors related to advocacy and political engagement. Analyzing my findings, I explore the theories that undergraduate students studying music education today are likely to think that their local communities are a more important audience for advocacy than their elected officials, that pre-service music educators fail to articulate the problems that they think they will face when they become teachers, and that they vote more often than and can describe more ways to engage with the American political system than their peers studying other subjects in education.

Show moreThe continuity of care (COC) in the United States is vast and complex in nature. While COC has well-established positive correlations with lower hospitalization rates and better outcomes of care, chronic disease individuals still suffer from barriers that prevent access to care in the United States. Chronic conditions as well as socio-demographic factors play a major role in health disparities across the country, with decreases in primary care appointments and increases in emergency department visitation. This has become a pervasive problem for healthcare in the United States. The selected studies in this review of the literature look at the outcomes and effects before and after the Affordable Care Act. Additionally the health disparity population was assessed in regards to missed appointments and as to what their barrier to care was at that time for the specific appointment. Demographics and variables that were included were diagnoses, age, gender, marital status, race and ethnicity. Continuing statistical analysis is being performed via a multivariate logistical regression to identify predictors and commonalities of those who are most likely to miss their scheduled healthcare appointment. Data collection is still on going and inconclusive at this time.

Show moreThe purpose of this paper is to better understand the Nordic Model of combating prostitution, why it is controversial, and its impacts on human trafficking and society overall. In order to properly address these topics, I conducted an extensive literature review and traveled to Sweden and France, where the Nordic Model was implemented in 1999 and 2016 respectively. While in Sweden and France, I conducted interviews with individuals familiar with the model, its legal codes, and its implementation. These individuals included lawyers, public prosecutors, police officers, nongovernmental organizations, and government officials. In synthesizing the information gleaned from these interviews as well as the literature review, I attempt to identify the impact of the model as well as the greater debate surrounding the ethics of the model. Additionally, I address the beneficial aspects of the model as well as its weaknesses, using this information to inform my critique of the model and my policy proposals.This paper is divided into five sections. Section one discusses the international legal background of human trafficking policy; section two discusses the Nordic Model itself and its legal codification in the various countries that implement it; section three discusses the abolitionist philosophy that underlies the Nordic Model, delving into the arguments of both abolitionists and pro-sex worker groups; section four offers a critique of the model; and section five provides various recommendations to improve the model and better address human trafficking.In employing qualitative research methods, such as reviewing theoretical discussions , legislative history, media, and conducting interviews, I find that while the Nordic Model is certainly an innovative means of addressing human trafficking, it is far from a panacea. Ultimately, additional measures must be taken to promote a holistic approach to combatting international trafficking in persons.

Show moreMatrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of metzincin enzymes that act as the principle regulators and remodelers of the extracellular matrix (ECM). While MMPs are involved in many normal biological processes, unregulated MMP activity has been linked to many detrimental diseases, including cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, stroke, and cardiovascular disease. To develop tools to investigate MMP functions and potential new therapeutics, matrix metalloproteinase inhibitors (MMPIs) have been designed, synthesized, and tested to regulate MMP activity. Inhibitor potencies were evaluated in terms of half maximal inhibitory concentrations (IC50 point) and apparent inhibition constants (Kiapp) for a series of YHJ cyclopentane and pyrolidine-based mercaptosulfonamide inhibitors using collagenase (MMPs-1), gelatinase A (MMP-2), matrilysin (MMP-7), and gelatinase B (MMP-9). MMPs with a shallow S1' binding pocket (MMP-1 and -7) were unable to distinguish between inhibitors showing low potency for nearly all synthetic analogs, the exception being GM6001. Conversely, potency levels of inhibitors tested with MMPs with an intermediate S1' pocket (MMP-2 and -9) varied among inhibitor. The most interesting variation occurred with YHJ-6-286 which was more than 30-fold more selective for MMP-2 than MMP-9, despite belonging to the same gelatinase class. To investigate the role stereoselectivity plays in enzyme inhibition, a dye-conjugate of inhibitor YHJ-7-52, YHJ-7-207, was tested for MMP-9. Results gathered suggest that the dye component of YHJ-7-207 produces a significant amount of steric hindrance as inhibition assays against MMP-9 revealed YHJ-7-207 having a larger IC50 point and Kiapp value than YHJ-7-52.

Show moreLow levels of social support in relationships are an important indicator of the risk of the development of depression in adulthood. This study investigated how family, friends, and romantic relationships affected the prevalence of depressive symptoms. This study tested the hypothesis that family relationships would not have significant effect on depression when the effect of romantic relationships and friendships are controlled. Hierarchical multiple regression analyses of responses from participants from the Transition Wave II questionnaire revealed that lower support from family relationships and romantic relationships was significantly associated with higher depression scores, while support from friendships was not. When controlling for support from friendships and relationships, romantic relationships had the strongest effect. This suggests that in adulthood, one's romantic relationships are more indicative of depression than friendships or family relationships.

Abstract/Description
Women are more susceptible to depression than men and depression around the childbearing years has shown to have deleterious birth outcomes. This study investigated the associations between depression and mental health treatment among particular birth outcomes. Participants included a total of 611 pregnant women, from two separate obstetrics clinics in the southeast, who completed the PHQ-9, a depression screening measure.

Show moreWomen are more susceptible to depression than men and depression around the childbearing years has shown to have deleterious birth outcomes. This study investigated the associations between depression and mental health treatment among particular birth outcomes. Participants included a total of 611 pregnant women, from two separate obstetrics clinics in the southeast, who completed the PHQ-9, a depression screening measure. Birth outcome information was gathered via medical record search and completed on all subjects. About 12% of women scored above the cutoff for elevated depression. Significant differences between education, race, and income were found among most birth outcomes. No significant association was found between depression, mental health treatment, and birth outcomes, but those who had adverse birth outcomes rated higher in terms of severity on particular depressive symptoms of the PHQ-9. Though the possible effectiveness of mental health treatment was not observed based on this cross-sectional study, future research should aim at understanding the role treatment has during pregnancy to treat depression and its relationship to relative birth outcomes.

Abstract/Description
Certain plants are known to influence pest attack on other plants in a phenomenon termed “associational effects” (AE). AE has long been exploited in agriculture by means of companion planting or intercropping, where one or more species in a polyculture of plants confers indirect benefits to another. Many plants in these types of interactions emit volatile compounds that effectively repel insect pests from themselves and surrounding plants (Held, Gonsiska & Potter 2003). Giant red mustard...
Show moreCertain plants are known to influence pest attack on other plants in a phenomenon termed “associational effects” (AE). AE has long been exploited in agriculture by means of companion planting or intercropping, where one or more species in a polyculture of plants confers indirect benefits to another. Many plants in these types of interactions emit volatile compounds that effectively repel insect pests from themselves and surrounding plants (Held, Gonsiska & Potter 2003). Giant red mustard greens have been shown to be an effective neighbor plant using this mechanism, significantly reducing whitefly oviposition on focal collard greens in a greenhouse experiment (Legaspi 2010). However, collards planted in a field 2.4m – 12.2m away from a central mustard plot did not significantly affect attraction or oviposition of whiteflies in the same study. Given these inconsistent results, it is possible that collards planted in the field experiment were too far from the mustard plot to experience repellent effects. The goal of this study was to to determine if AE on collard greens from mustard greens depend on the distance between plants. To quantify AE, we planted giant red mustard greens (Brassica juncea) 10cm – 70cm from collard greens (Brassica oleracea var. acephala) at discrete distances and measured plant damage and various pest abundances on collard greens. Contrary to our expectations, we found a marginally significant negative relationship between plant damage and neighbor distance. We also found a significant negative relationship between whitefly (Aleyrodidae) abundance and neighbor distance, indicating associational susceptibility of collard greens from nearby mustard greens. Our analyses may have been limited by a below-average pest abundance during data collection. Despite previous studies indicating otherwise, mustard greens may not be an effective companion crop for reducing pest attack in the field.

Abstract/Description
Lytechinus variegatus, a widely known species of sea urchins, exist in different color morphs. Previous studies have shown that gamete recognition proteins are related to color expression in Echinoderms. In this study, crosses within and between color morphs of L. variegatus were done to assess assortative fertilization, and field measurements of aggregation and color frequency to determine behavioral and genetic components of assortative mating. Differences in fertilization success were...

In this study, crosses within and between color morphs of L. variegatus were done to assess assortative fertilization, and field measurements of aggregation and color frequency to determine behavioral and genetic components of assortative mating. Differences in fertilization success were discovered between color morphs and evidence was found for color aggregation as well as phenotypic effects in the distribution of colors in a population of L. variegatus.
