Show moreElementary teachers often integrate science-themed trade books into their science and reading lessons. This study examines the alignment of science-themed trade books written for readers in Kindergarten through fifth-grade to the Next Generation Science Standards Disciplinary Core Ideas (NGSS DCI). The goal of this research is to analyze the scientific concepts presented in the text of the trade books recommended by professional organizations dedicated to science and science education. Research finds that integrated science and reading are valuable for elementary students’ understandings of science. This study addresses two problems: 1) elementary teachers have limited scientific knowledge and 2) there is a dearth of research that examines the expression of NGSS DCI in science-themed trade books for K-5th grades. The sample is selected from booklists compiled by professional organizations devoted to science and science education. A deductive content analysis methodology is used to identify the presence of NGSS DCI in trade books. Descriptive statistics and qualitative data analyses are used to reveal the themes in the collected data. A large majority of the sample is aligned to the NGSS DCI for K-5th grade. Most trade books express NGSS DCI at the grade levels for which they are recommended. The study is limited and does not examine the readability of trade books, scientific vocabulary, or images. This study contributes to the research on the intersection between science and reading for elementary grade levels.

Show moreThere is a dearth of quantitative research examining the public stigma of Tourette syndrome (TS), and no known studies assessing public perceptions of difference (how similar they are), disdain (how bad they are), and blame (how responsible they are) toward individuals with TS. The current study sought to understand the public stigma of TS as a visible and unconcealable condition. An internet sample of 450 adults were recruited through MTurk. Participants read four brief vignettes, each describing an adolescent with TS, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), autism spectrum disorder (ASD), or a history of juvenile detention. Results showed TS to be associated with neutral or negative public perceptions across stigma facets. When compared to OCD and ASD, vignettes describing TS were viewed with similar difference, disdain, and blame. TS was least familiar to participants. Findings highlight differences in stigma for concealable versus visible stigmatized conditions which has implications for future research and anti-stigma interventions.

Title: Examining Racial Differences in Body Dissatisfaction and Disordered Eating Following Media Exposure of a Curvaceous Body Ideal

Show morePrevious research has found that internalization of a thin body ideal contributes to negative cognitive and behavioral symptoms, such as body dissatisfaction and disordered eating. However, studies supporting a sociocultural model have typically included mostly White samples. Research suggests that there may be racial differences in body dissatisfaction and disordered eating among Black and White women, specifically that Black women may be protected from body dissatisfaction via the buffering hypothesis. However, studies have found that differences in body dissatisfaction between Black and White women are smaller than previously thought. Additionally, Black women do not feel represented in the mainstream media on the basis of their physical appearance and ascribed ideals when exposed to thin ideals. Research is needed to examine the impact of other ideals (e.g., the curvaceous body ideal) on body dissatisfaction, as well as body dissatisfaction for Black women in Western culture. The present study used an experimental design to examine differences in body dissatisfaction and disordered eating behaviors in a community sample of Black and White self-identified women before and after exposure to a thin or curvaceous body ideal. Participants were randomized to a thin ideal or curvaceous ideal condition. All participants completed a demographic questionnaire, baseline measures of body dissatisfaction and disordered eating and Visual Analog Scales before and after viewing thin or curvaceous images. Findings indicated no racial differences in baseline body dissatisfaction and disordered eating. Additionally, associations between baseline body dissatisfaction and disordered eating were significant and align with previous research, but an effect of condition was found on body satisfaction change scores. No statistically significant interaction was found between race and body ideal condition for body dissatisfaction change scores. Finally, change scores of body dissatisfaction measures were not statistically different from pre- to post-exposure of either thin or curvy body ideal conditions. Findings have significant implications for the buffering hypothesis and add to studies that have found small racial differences in body dissatisfaction. Present findings also have implications for assessment and treatment in overall eating pathology as seen by the Sociocultural Model in Black women.

Show moreThis paper examines corporate social responsibility (CSR) strategies and their anticipated impacts on both company’s performance and climate change mitigation in mainland China. It performs analysis on the effectiveness of the policies/efforts undertaken by Chinese publicly traded companies to carry on CSR projects through CSR disclosure system, and specifically focuses on determining if CSR projects could help to enhance companies’ profitability while promoting sustainable development in China. It utilizes companies’ financial statements and CSR reports from China Stock Market & Accounting Research Database (CSMAR), and regional macroeconomic data from National Bureau of Statistics of China from 2006 to 2016. The modeling results indicate that industry types, and socioeconomic conditions within which they operate control the anticipated outcome of implementing CSR projects specifically if those projects are designed to reduce companies' carbon emissions. This research provides valuable insights for CSR development in the future according to company types and socioeconomic imbalance in China.

Show moreNatrium super ion conductors (NaSICONs), Na1+xZr2SixP3-xO12 (0 ≤ x ≤ 3) are compounds that commonly used as solid electrolytes and membranes of sodium based batteries, or in gas sensors and fuel cells due to their high sodium ion conductivity, low thermal expansion, and ability to accommodate ions in the lattice. However, NaSICON with high relative density (> 97%) and minimum impurity phases is found to be very difficult to obtain. Furthermore, the cost of the general synthesis methods is a serious drawback. Multi-high-temperature heating procedures is often employed to increase the density and to attain the single phase NaSICON because the particle size and free ZrO2 are better reduced. This research explores the possibility of densification and synthesis of NaSICON in one high-temperature reaction through a novel process termed Integrated Mechanical and Thermal Activation (IMTA) and the co-sintering behavior as well as the NaSICON composite membranes from tape casting. The sintering temperature of NaSICON was decreased by mechanical activation at room temperature using high-energy ball milling. Sintered NaSICON-based materials showed highest total ionic conductivity of 1.45 × 10-3 S cm-1 at room temperature and high density of 3.155 g cm-3 (96.5%). An alternative to obtaining full densification (99%) of NaSICON ceramics was developed utilizing traditional solid-state reaction. This sintered NaSICON without any sintering aid exhibited the total conductivity, 6.59 × 10-4 S cm-1 at 25 °C, and the highest density of 3.238 g cm-3, a better than 2.6% enhancement from the original samples.The second part of the work has comprised of successful fabrication of NaSICON/polymer composite membranes and bi-layered NaSICON/stainless steel membranes to enhance the mechanical flexibility of pure NaSICON films. The effect of different particle sizes of stainless steel on the sintering behavior and shrinkage rate were studied systematically. The effect of solid content in the slurry was also studied to control the density of both support layer and NaSICON body. The affect structural ratios have on co-sintered tapes along with ionic conductivity was investigated using Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS). The co-sintered membrane exhibited a total conductivity as high as 4.580 × 10-4 S/cm at room temperature. EIS results showed the high Na-ions conductivity strongly depends on the feature of grain boundary and the high densification of NaSICON layer.

Show moreThe study of long-span structures developed from a design problem for an aircraft hangar. The problem of the aircraft hangar was concerned with the development of a reasonable structurtal type into an architectural solution. Several types were considered; the truss, the arch, a rigid frame system in prestressed concrete. These were discarded in favor of a rigid frame system of steel that seemed to give the best visual solution.
