Abstract:

<p> Research suggests that most Americans harbor weight-related prejudices, which can translate into discrimination against the obese across a variety of contexts. Yet, little is known about how anti-fat bias may influence juror decisions in cases involving an obese trial participant. This study examined the main and interactive effects of plaintiff weight, deliberations, and individual differences on jurors’ decisions in a medical malpractice case. The Culpable Control Model (CCM) was used to ground the research and to help illuminate the attributional processes underlying mock jurors&r

Abstract:

This thesis addresses three interrelated challenges of disease mapping and contributes a new approach for improving visualization of disease burdens to enhance disease surveillance systems. First, it determines an appropriate threshold choice (smoothing parameter) for the adaptive kernel density estimation (KDE) in disease mapping. The results show that the appropriate threshold value depends on the characteristics of data, and bandwidth selector algorithms can be used to guide such decisions about mapping parameters. Similar approaches are recommended for map-makers who are faced with decisio

Abstract:

Three empirical studies on characteristics of social classification are reported in this paper. The first study compared social tags with controlled vocabularies and title-based automatic indexing and found little overlaps among the three indexing methods. The second study investigated how well tags could be categorized to improve effectiveness of searching and browsing. The third study explored factors and radios that had the most significant impact on tag convergence. Finding of the three studies will help to identify characteristics of those tagging terms that are content-rich and that can

Tough hydrogels with mechanical properties that resemble human soft tissues are promising for applications in biomedical, soft robotics, and biocompatible electronics. However, their synthesis and production may require multi-step processing, their mechanical properties could not be tuned or adjusted for a desirable application, and they may not be biocompatible. This thesis aimed to address these shortfalls by designing a versatile hydrogel system with tuneable properties and a facile one-pot fabrication process.

Abstract:

Do birds of a feather flock together or do opposites attract? The aim of this thesis is to consider this question in the context of online social networks. Humans, unlike birds, can flock together based on a wide variety of characteristics, such as age, gender, or political affiliation. The tendency of people to assort based on a common trait is referred to as homophily. Research into homophilous traits has often overlooked psychological characteristics. In particular, while personality is studied extensively in the context of social media use, it has received little attention in the homophily

Recently, two investigations have also suggested the possibility of a third grouping of profiles characterized by low levels of depression and disability despite severe pain, as well as relatively high scores on measures of denial and th

Abstract:

Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the U.S and is more common among the elderly. Since frailty and other age related conditions put the elderly at risk for nursing home care, nursing homes may be the site of care and death for many elderly cancer patients. However, there is a large gap in knowledge concerning cancer treatment of elderly nursing home residents. Since residents rely heavily on their nursing facilities, nursing homes might influence them in their treatment decisions. After controlling for resident and nursing home market characteristics, this study applies Andersen’s

Abstract:

The social construction of the discourse of medical institutions is analysed, drawing on both speech act and structural theories. Discourse is defined as a symbol system which has an ideological effect. This effect is linked to the maintenance of the interests of hegemonic social groups. Michel Foucault's archaeological method accords primacy to the relations which exist between institutional and social processes in the formation of discursive relations. Foucault's genealogical method also describes how the identity of the modern subject is constituted within the power nexus of coercive instit

Mainly, one hypothesis is that social phobics long to be more extroverted and, thus, are more conflicted in many aspects of their personalities. Moreover, very few studies have found a conclusive link between shyness or social phobia and self-esteem. One of
