Living and Working on the Peninsula: A Study of Spatial Home and Work Location Relationships as Related to Occupations and Charleston\u27s Historic Landscape at the Turn of the Twentieth Century

The spatial living and working patterns of Charleston’s grocers, dry goods store owners, attorneys, physicians, conductors, and teachers between 1890 and 1910 reflect the city’s historic land use and cultural norms. Tense race relations left their mark on every part of the city’s history – including work and educational opportunities. This, in turn, further added to the physical barriers enacted as a result of the divisive Jim Crow Laws of the era. This thesis uses GIS-mapped work and home addresses of grocers, dry goods store owners, attorneys, physicians, conductors, and teachers in 1890, 1900, and 1910 to both visually illustrate and geometrically calculate commutes and spatial residential patterns of these Charleston professionals. Correlations along the lines of occupation, sex, and race help to illuminate the historic differences between Charleston neighborhoods. A lack of representation of African Americans in occupations and city directories, however, indicates the larger, pervasive tone concerning race and segregation in America at this time. Changes in the demographics of the professions studied at the turn of the twentieth century in Charleston also mirror larger trends related to women’s rights and the standardization of many professional industries. Ultimately, this thesis helps to shed light on future opportunities for preservationists and planners to tell new, previously untold stories of Charleston’s past spatial relationships. Some of the occupations studied within this thesis have yet to be fully examined within the context of interaction with and movement about the Charleston peninsula

Do cinnamon supplements improve glycemic control in adults with T2DM?

Q: Do cinnamon supplements improve glycemic control in adults with T2DM? Evidence-based answer: the answer isn't clear. Cinnamon supplements for adults with type 2 diabetes haven't been shown to decrease hemoglobin A1C (strength of recommendation [SOR]: C, multiple systematic reviews of disease-oriented outcomes). Cinnamon supplements have shown inconsistent effects on fasting glucose levels (SOR: C, multiple systematic reviews and a single meta-analysis of disease-oriented outcomes). Supplements decreased fasting glucose levels in some studies, but the evidence isn't consistent and hasn't been correlated with clinically significant improvements in glycemic control.Beth Careyva, MD; Grant Greenberg, MD, MA, MHSA; Katarzyna Jabbour, PharmD, BCPS; Nicole Defenbaugh, PhD (Lehigh Valley Health Network, Allentown, PA); Joan Nashelsky, MLS (Family Practice Inquiries Network, Iowa City)Includes bibliographical reference

A Mixed‑Methods Exploration of the Developmental Trajectory of Autonomous Motivation in Graduate Medical Learners

Self-determination theory (SDT), when applied to curricular construction, emphasizes curiosity, self-awareness, and resilience. Physicians need these qualities to face the challenges of clinical practice. SDT offers a lens for medical educators to track learner development toward sustainable, rewarding careers. This study describes the changes observed in learner communications about feelings of competence, relatedness, and autonomy across a 3-year family medicine training program designed to develop activated, lifelong learners
