Sleep as an Occupation in College Students

The purpose of this study was to measure the quality of sleep in undergraduate college students and explore the relationship between academic self-efficacy and performance in student-related occupations. A quantitative, exploratory, descriptive and correlational research design was used to explore the relationship among sleep quality, perceived self-efficacy, and selected student characteristics. This study included undergraduate students, as well as self-identified student athletes, first generation students, and students with disabilities. To collect data, the researchers conducted an online survey, which consisted of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), a demographic and self-efficacy questionnaire. The PSQI was used to evaluate the sleep quality, while the demographic and self-efficacy questionnaire gathered information about student related occupations and self-efficacy. Two hundred and nine college students, aged 17 to 25, participated in the survey. One hundred thirty five (64.6%) participants scored above a five, indicating poor sleep quality while 74 (35.4%) participants obtained good sleep quality as measured by the PSQI, while. The average number of hours slept reported by participants was 6.68. Results support existing evidence suggesting college students are sleep deprived, and over half of participants reported sleep issues that could be addressed by an occupational therapist.https://scholar.dominican.edu/ug-student-posters/1013/thumbnail.jp

Como parte de nuestro plan de marketing hemos creado el eslogan: “Un toque de brillo a tu belleza” como parte de una diferenciación en base a nuestro producto. Cabe mencionar que nuestros competidores directos son “Berti” y “Ben Junot” los cuales ya tiene un posicionamiento en el mercado al cual apuntamos. La inversión inicial para la creación de la tienda de ventas de joyas de acero quirúrgico ubicada en el Centro Comercial Plaza Norte es de S/. 242,712 nuevos soles. La evaluación de factibilidad económica del proyecto reportó una VAN de 26% con un valor de S/. 684,184 nuevos soles. Finalmente, con esto se espera que la empresa logre su objetivo el cual es convertirse en un comercio altamente competitivo con un alto posicionamiento en el mercado y participación activa que con el pasar de los años se vaya expandiendo como una alternativa a las demás joyas.ABSTRACT The following thesis project consists of the Marketing Steel Jewelry, which will be located in the district of Los Olivos. The brand presented is "Michelle" a business concept dedicated to beauty through accessories commonly used by women, among our products to offer are the earrings, bracelets, rings and necklaces. These products have an advantage because they are made of surgical steel, a metal that you have the advantages of being highly resistant, hypoallergenic, not paint peeling and will not rust, which gives our audience an alternately valuable when deciding which jewelry to buy. Based on our national environment, we emphasize that the issue of insecurity is a plus in our project since the steel products being equally attractive are not a precious metal such as gold or silver. As part of our marketing plan we have created the slogan: "A touch of sparkle to your beauty" as part of a differentiation based on our product. It is noteworthy that our direct competitors are "Berti" and "Ben Junot" which already has a market position which we aim. The initial investment for setting up shop sales of jewelry surgical steel located in the North Plaza Shopping Center is S /. 242.712 soles. The evaluation of economic feasibility of the project reported a NPV of 26% with a value of S /. 684.184 soles. Finally, it is expected that the company achieves its goal which is to become a highly competitive business with high market position and active participation which over the years will go expanding as an alternative to other jewelry

Redescription of Lemuricola (Madoxyuris) bauchoti (Nematoda, Oxyuridae) from Lemur catta in Madagascar

Lemuricola (Madoxyuris) bauchoti Chabaud, Brygoo et Petter, 1965 is redescribed from material collected from the ring-tailed lemur, Lemur catta, from the Beza Mahafaly Special Reserve in Madagascar using the scanning electron microscope. This is a new host record and the first oxyurid reported from the ring-tailed lemur. Previously, records of each species of the subgenus Madoxyuris have been restricted to a single host species, but the close relationship between these nematodes and their Strepsirrhini hosts will only be proven when additional records fill in the gaps in their distribution.Centro de Estudios Parasitológicos y de Vectore

Locally Delivered Salicylic Acid From a Poly(anhydride-ester): Impact on Diabetic Bone Regeneration

Diabetes mellitus (DM) involves metabolic changes that can impair bone repair, including a prolonged inflammatory response. A salicylic acid-based poly(anhydride-ester) (SA-PAE) provides controlled and sustained release of salicylic acid (SA) that locally resolves inflammation. This study investigates the effect of polymer-controlled SA release on bone regeneration in diabetic rats where enhanced inflammation is expected. Fifty-six Sprague–Dawley rats were randomly assigned to two groups: diabetic group induced by streptozotocin (STZ) injection or normoglycemic controls injected with citrate buffer alone. Three weeks after hyperglycemia development or vehicle injection, 5 mm critical sized defects were created at the rat mandibular angle and treated with SA-PAE/bone graft mixture or bone graft alone. Rats were euthanized 4 and 12 weeks after surgery, then bone fill percentage in the defect region was assessed by micro-computed tomography (CT) and histomorphometry. It was observed that bone fill increased significantly at 4 and 12 weeks in SA-PAE/bone graft-treated diabetic rats compared to diabetic rats receiving bone graft alone. Accelerated bone formation in normoglycemic rats caused by SA-PAE/bone graft treatment was observed at 4 weeks but not at 12 weeks. This study shows that treatment with SA-PAE enhances bone regeneration in diabetic rats and accelerates bone regeneration in normoglycemic animals

Decolorization of hair dye by lignocellulosic waste materials from contaminated waters

Basic yellow 57 (BY57) was chosen as a model hair dye due to its prevalence in cosmetics wastewaters. This study proposes the use of lignocellulosic materials like spent tea leaves of peppermint (PM), chai tea (CT), and chamomile (CM) as raw adsorbents for the removal of BY57 from contaminated solutions. Batch adsorption experiments were carried out at room temperature to achieve the maximum adsorption capacity. Results indicate that the highest removal is achieved at pH 6–8, with a minimum adsorbent mass of 75 mg and in the absence of salinity, crowding agents and heavy metals. Adsorption equilibria were modeled according to the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm theories and reported the following trend: PM \u3e CT \u3e CM, reaching qmax values of 105, 80, and 38 mg of dye per gram of adsorbent, respectively. Desorption experiments showed that diluted solution of HCl is able to desorb up to 80% of the dye and recover the adsorbent to be used in consecutive cycles. Finally, the adsorbents were characterized by Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), indicating that the adsorbents have a porous and heterogeneous surface, showing pockets and protrusions that are potential adsorption sites for the dye
