202 Topham, EmilyCaregiver inclusion in ideal discharge teaching: implications for transitions from hospital to homePurpose: The purpose of this study was to explore 1) quantitative patient-caregiver ratings of discharge readiness using the Readiness for Hospital Discharge Scale (RHDS), and 2) perceptions of caregivers regarding their discharge preparation and whether and how discharge preparation impacted post-d...2021
203 Jensen, RossCartesian phenomenal conservatism: a satisfactory response to radical skepticismIn this paper, I defend an epistemological thesis known as phenomenal conservatism. As introduced by Michael Huemer, phenomenal conservatism states: if it seems to S that p [where the variables S and P represent any subject and any proposition, respectively], then, in the absence of defeaters, S th...phenomenal conservatism; meditations on first philosophy

205 Furrer, SummerCellular and subcellular localization patterns of hepatitis delta virus in sjogren's syndrome salivary gland tissuePrimary Sjogren's syndrome (pSS) is an autoimmune disorder, predominantly affecting women, that causes dry eyes, dry mouth, fatigue, and other extraglandular manifestations (Le Goff et al., 2017). It has been shown that chronic pathogen exposure can lead to development of autoimmune diseases such as...2022
206 Thomas, NikitaCellular ultrastructure of C. elegans nervous systemDetermining the ultrastructural organization of the nervous system is a key step in understanding how complex behavior is generated. For a nervous system to function, it must be wired accurately. A complete wiring diagram, referred to as a connectome, can be created by tracing neuronal profiles thro...Caenorhabditis elegans - Nervous system2013-05
207 Millar, ThomasCenter lines, turn lanes and bicycle infrastructure : bikeways in the United States and Salt Lake City's 1700 South corridorContinuous and well-designed bicycle infrastructure plays an essential role in encouraging people to see and use the bicycle as a legitimate form of transportation and not only for recreation. In Salt Lake City, a common roadway striping design end bicycle lanes prematurely, requiring bicyclists to ...Bicycle lanes - Utah - Salt Lake City; Bicycle lanes - United States2013-05
208 Andersen, KaraCervical dorsal root ganglion imaging for studying neuronal nocicieptive ciruit changes in migranine modelsMigraine neuroscience is a field in its infancy, with migraine being a remarkably common yet poorly understood sensory circuit disorder. It is characterized by attacks of unilateral, throbbing craniofacial pain, with sensitivity to movement, visual, auditory, and other afferent inputs. Migraines can...2022
209 Larson, BrookeChacterization of signaling to the degradative pathways of the cellProtein degradation in cells is a complex network of pathways that are distinct from each other but highly interconnected. Understanding how proteins are degraded in cells is important for understanding and developing treatments for diseases such as lysosomal storage diseases and neurodegenerative d...2023

211 Hunt, McKennaChallenges locating the scene of emergency: a qualitative study of the EMS system in rwandaBackground: Timely pre-hospital emergency care significantly improves health outcomes. One substantial challenge delaying pre-hospital emergency care is in locating the patient requiring emergency services. The goal of this study was to describe challenges emergency medical services (EMS) teams in R...2023
212 Adams, TaylorChange in trait impressions of the self and othersThis study examined how trait judgments of the self and others change over time. The research question that was addressed was "Do the changes in trait impressions of the self parallel the changes in trait impressions of others?" One hundred and twenty-five college students rated the frequency of cha...2018
213 Greenwood, Riley JosephChanges in earnings distribution in Peru: 2004-2014This thesis explores the changes in earnings distribution among heads of household in Peru from 2004 to 2014 by applying Dinardo, Fortin, and Lemieux's methodology of counterfactual distributions and decompositions. Various measures indicate that earnings inequality among heads of household reduce...Earnings Distribution; Inequality; Counterfactual2014-12
214 Jensen, MadelineChanges in microbial diversity in storm-water green infrastructureIncreased urbanization has led to excess nutrients in urban ecosystems. Stormwater Green Infrastructure (SGI) is a method to capture these nutrients and prevent runoff. However, an increased understanding of ecosystem processes is needed to create more efficient SGIs. Past studies have shown that pl...2022
215 Montoya-Ortiz, Jaylie DeniseChanges to walking trajectories to avoid altitude-related threatsWalking in complex environments demands changes in locomotor behavior. Despite knowledge of how altitude threats, such as walking at high heights, affect spatiotemporal measures of gait, it is unclear how individuals select walking trajectories when there are altitude threats. The purpose of this st...2022
216 Russell, SloanChanging brand perception: Changing university students' attitude toward a company and enabling a talented recruiting poolStudents often participate in internships to gain real-world experience before entering the workforce. This proves beneficial to students, allowing them to apply the skills they learned via higher education and develop problem-solving abilities, while employers find internships allow them to recruit...Business education (Internship); Marketing2015-04
217 Wigod, LaurenChanging theories of disease as indicators of shifting epistemic values in scienceTheories of disease are unique from many other scientific theories due to their applicability. Society is not typically impacted by novel theories of physics for example, but does feel the influence of shifting theories of disease. Competition between theories of disease creates pragmatic concern, a...Kuhnian paradigm2024
218 Wu, Tingshiuan C.Characterising the Matched-Runs Method for Analysing Images of Extended T-Ray Sources using VeritasThe matched-runs method of performing high-resolution imaging of extended very high-energy (VHE, E>100 GeV) γ-ray sources using the Very Energetic Radiation Imaging Telescope Array System (VERITAS) is characterized in this study.
