Schmitt, Paul

This dissertation contends that the food system, as it stands, obscures the social relations of production inherent in how capitalist agriculture grows, distributes, and sells food. Because of these conditions, this dissertation examines how video game designers, fiction writers, and comic book artists alike address te...

Dental care access for Medicaid beneficiaries

Nwachukwu, Pamela

Studies have found that when states reduce or eliminate Medicaid adult dental benefits, ED visits for dental care increase. Few studies have explored the impact of expanding dental benefits on ED use, and no study had assessed the impact of introducing emergency dental benefits from previously having no benefits. Sever...

Material-Process-Structure-Property Relationships for Direct-Ink-Writing of Polymer Composite-type Precursors

Grover, Caitlin Ann

Polymer composite-type precursors hold exceptional promise in the manufacturing of polymers, ceramics, metals, and their composites stemming from their simplicity, processibility, and tunable rheological properties. These precursors cover a large compositional space with markedly varying rheology; thus, these precursor...

Sexual dimorphism in ligature-induced periodontitis is mediated by the miR-141/200c cluster

Upara, Chawin

Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by destruction of the tooth-supporting tissues and is strongly influenced by host immune responses. Epidemiological studies demonstrate sexual dimorphism in periodontitis, but the molecular mechanisms responsible for sex-specific differences in disease sever...

When Pedagogy Walks: Place, Art, Higher Education (Abstract and Citation only)

Brown, Adrienne

Originally planned as a place-based and pedagogical study that intended to inquire with Chinese art and design students in Hunan province, the study was necessarily redesigned and repositioned to accommodate a practice-based inquiry impacted by the pandemic and its associated restrictions. The more-than-human presence...

Structure and dynamics of ionic fluids across broad temperature regimes

Borah, Bichitra

For ionic liquids, the central goal of my work is to understand how structural heterogeneity and molecular organization evolve on cooling toward the glass transition and how these changes affect dynamics. In phosphonium ionic liquids, combined molecular dynamics simulations, NMR, and scattering analyses reveal that pol...

The economic burden of non-communicable diseases in Nigeria: Evidence from the COVID-19 era

Odunyemi, Adelakun Edward E

Background: Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) impose a significant economic burden on households in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Nigeria's health system vulnerabilities, compounded by COVID-19, have worsened the economic burden for NCD-affected households. Methods: A scoping review was undertaken to synthes...

The influence of relative sun exposure on sunscald susceptibility, peel metabolism, and storage outcome of 'Granny Smith' apples

Mendoza, Manoella Cabral

Although sunlight is crucial for optimal apple production, excessive sun exposure can negatively impact appearance and alter fruit quality and metabolism. ‘Granny Smith’ is notably prone to sunscald, a sun stress-related postharvest disorder that manifests as the superficial darkening of the peel, rendering the fruit u...

Indigenous missionaries and the making of Christianity in the Middle Belt of Nigeria, 1841-1960

Lamak, Kefas

Much scholarship in religious studies articulates the view that Christianity is essentially a European and later Euro-American religion that invaded countries in West Africa during the colonial period largely in order to dominate the region’s populations and extract the countries’ resources. This narrative depicts the...

Mechanisms of Heterochromatin Regulation by HP1 Proteins and the Chromatin Remodeler Mit1

Seman, Melissa

Heterochromatin is a specialized form of chromatin defined by histone H3 lysine 9 methylation (H3K9me), which promotes transcriptional repression and drives spatial compartmentalization within the nucleus. A central effector of this silenced chromatin state is the conserved family of Heterochromatin Protein 1 (HP1) pro...
