Mann, Samantha; Vrij, Aldert; Deeb, Haneen; Leal, Sharon – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2022
The Devil's Advocate protocol has been developed to assist making veracity assessments when someone discusses their opinion. The present experiment focused on protester actions rather than controversial issues and also included an adapted version of the Verifiability Approach. Participants told the truth or lied about protester actions and the…

Robles-Piñeros, Jairo; Tateo, Luca – Journal of Biological Education, 2023
The article presents the results of an exploratory-qualitative study about children´s conceptions of ecology in relation to media messages. The objective of the study has been to identify the role of ecologism and environmental campaigns on ecology conceptions of 105 6th grade children, age 10-12, from an educational institution in Bogota,…

Waito, Ashley A.; Plowman, Emily K.; Barbon, Carly E. A.; Peladeau-Pigeon, Melanie; Tabor-Gray, Lauren; Magennis, Kelby; Robison, Raele; Steele, Catriona M. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2020
Purpose: To date, research characterizing swallowing changes in individuals with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) has primarily relied on subjective descriptions. Thus, the degree to which swallowing physiology is altered in ALS, and relationships between such alterations and swallow safety and/or efficiency are not well characterized. This…

Barceló-Oliver, Miquel; Cabello, Carlos P.; Torrens-Serra, Joan; Miró, Manuel; Cabot, Catalina; Bosch, Rafael; Delgado, Montserrat R. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
Although residues and resource shortages are major problems of modern living, these topics are not usually properly covered in university curricula. To tackle this situation, we have guided undergraduate students through the design of a group of active learning activities, to demonstrate the science behind separation and recycling: trash…

Šarac, Bojan; Hadži, San – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
A Microsoft Excel workbook has been developed to simplify the quantitative analysis of experimentally measured titration curves for diprotic and triprotic amino acids such as glycine, arginine, histidine, and glutamate. Students perform the titration, enter the data into the worksheet, and manually adjust the resulting pK[subscript a] values to…

Mancopes, Renata; Peladeau-Pigeon, Melanie; Barrett, Emily; Guran, Andrea; Smaoui, Sana; Pasqualoto, Adriane Schmidt; Steele, Catriona M. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2020
Purpose: Dysphagia is a serious extra pulmonary manifestation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, the nature of abnormalities in swallowing physiology in COPD has yet to be clearly established. We explored the frequency of swallowing measures outside the healthy reference range in adults with COPD. Method: Participants were…

Curtis, James A.; Dakin, Avery E.; Troche, Michelle S. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2020
Purpose: Airway protective disorders are common in Parkinson's disease (PD), yet effective methods to rehabilitate these life-threatening impairments are limited. This study examined the effects of two skill-based treatments aimed at improving swallowing and cough in a severely dysphagic person with PD: respiratory-swallow coordination training…

Roberts, Jennifer S. – Whiteness and Education, 2021
This paper explores the profound connection between race, gender, and culture in post-apartheid education at a public Afrikaans dual-language school in South Africa. Illustrating how the residues and remnants of apartheid legacies propagate arcane constructions of whiteness through interwoven racial and gendered stereotypes, this research maps the…

Friesen, J. Brent – Journal of Chemical Education, 2015
The visualization of latent fingerprints often involves the use of a chemical substance that creates a contrast between the fingerprint residues and the surface on which the print was deposited. The chemical-aided visualization techniques can be divided into two main categories: those that chemically react with the fingerprint residue and those…

Muss, Lydia; Wilmskoetter, Janina; Richter, Kerstin; Fix, Constanze; Stanschus, Soenke; Pitzen, Tobias; Drumm, Joerg; Molfenter, Sonja – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2017
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore the impact of anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) with anterior instrumentation on swallowing function and physiology as measured on videofluoroscopic swallowing studies. Method: We retrospectively analyzed both functional measures (penetration-aspiration, residue) and…

Vernon, Jeffrey; Irvine, Elaine E.; Peters, Marco; Jeyabalan, Jeshmi; Giese, K. Peter – Learning & Memory, 2016
Phosphorylation is a ubiquitous post-translational modification of proteins, and a known physiological regulator of K[superscript +] channel function. Phosphorylation of K[superscript +] channels by kinases has long been presumed to regulate neuronal processing and behavior. Although circumstantial evidence has accumulated from behavioral studies…

Purpose: Thickened liquids are frequently used as an intervention for dysphagia, but gaps persist in our understanding of variations in swallowing behavior based on incremental thickening of liquids. The goal of this study was to establish reference values for measures of bolus flow and swallowing physiology in healthy adults across the continuum…

The main protease of SARS-CoV-2 is a promising drug target due to its functional role as a catalytic dyad in mediating proteolysis during the viral life cycle. In this study, experimentally proven 14 HIV protease peptides were screened against the main protease of SARS-CoV-2. Fourteen middle and high school "student researchers" were…

Higgins, Pamela J. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2020
Most forensic chemistry experiments focus on the usual suspects involving criminal scenarios: illicit drug identification, gunshot residue detection, blood and fingerprint analysis, and arson investigations. However, environmental forensics involves chemical techniques that can expand the breadth of experience for forensic chemistry students. An…

Mavor, David Carl – ProQuest LLC, 2017
Ubiquitin is essential for eukaryotic life and varies in only 3 amino acid positions between yeast and humans. However, recent deep sequencing studies indicate that ubiquitin is highly tolerant to single mutations. We hypothesized that this tolerance would be reduced by chemically induced physiologic perturbations. To test this hypothesis, a class…
