...Undergraduate Research award was originally an assignment in Dr. Hawley Almstedt’s Advanced Nutrition course. Students were asked to compose a paper on any topic of their choice relevant to the field of nutrition using research from at least ten sources, half of which were required to be from peer-reviewed journals. I was first inspired to write my paper on amylin after hearing about the hormone and its exciting potential in a newspaper article. I already had an interest in endocrinology because of other classes, so this was intriguing to me. I didn’t know much about amylin so I had to do preliminary research to see if amylin was a viable subject for a semester-long research paper. I discovered a plethora of material in every science, health and biochemical chemical journal imaginable. In short, plenty of material was available. To fit criteria of the class assignment, I had to alter my thesis to better address how amylin affects nutrition and its importance to those who study and work in the field. The primary tool for my research was Hannon Library’s online databases. I found that the Medline and Pubmed databases returned the most and best quality results. Sometimes, I would search one of these databases and a PDF version was available for free directly from the database. However, in many instances only the abstract was available on Pubmed. On these occasions I employed one of Hannon’s best services, which would search LMU’s many other databases such as ScienceDirect...

...Foodways Research Essay The purpose of this assignment is to conduct an intensive line of research which you will use to produce a 7-9 page essay that informs your reader about the multi-faceted dynamics of a single food item (ingredient, product, or dish) of your choice. This expository essay will mix firsthand experience with research in providing your reader with both an objective and a subjective perspective on your chosen food item. You will research the official history and cultural significance of this food item using scholarly source material and add to this, as applicable, the unofficial or folk history of the dish (stories, rituals, and customs relating to the dish, traditions of preparation and/or consumption). If you have a particular family history relating to this food item, feel free to explore that as well. You will also present a full description, somewhere in your essay, of what the experience of consuming this food item is like – what tastes like, smells like, and feels like on your palate. I strongly suggest that you make a vivid use of figurative language in trying to bring off a vicarious sense of what this experience is like. For this assignment make use of a minimum of five print sources (including at least one article taken from an online database and one book) and one interview source. Some sources you may wish to consider are The Oxford Encyclopedia of Food and Drink in America, Bower African American Foodways, and the Credo reference...

...median duration of 2 days. More of these were caused by viruses than bacteria. Although recent data are unavailable, a 1991 study by Glass, Lew, Gangarose, and LeBaron indicated that 325-425 children in the US die of diarrheal disease every year and 2.1 to 3.7 million children are seen by a physician for diarrheal diseases. C difficile infections are among the most serious causes of antibiotic-associated diarrhea and their incidence in hospitalized infants has been increasing (American Academy of Pediatrics Committee on Infectious Diseases, 2013). The major pathophysiology of the diarrhea associated with antibiotics is disturbance of the normal flora in the GI tract. The specific clinical question guiding the search for a quantitative research article is: In hospitalized pediatric patients taking antibiotics, does taking probiotics decrease the risk of antibiotic associated diarrhea? Population- hospitalized pediatric patients taking antibiotics Intervention- taking probiotics Comparison- not taking probiotics Outcome- reduction in diarrhea Probiotics is the independent variable (IV) in this question and diarrhea is the dependent variable (DV).

...accommodation needed to make the classroom successful. The education arena holds the responsibility of learning strategies and interventions in assisting an individual with AS. Asperger’s Syndrome According to Lee and Park (2007), “‘Autistic psychopathy’ (as cited in Asperger, 1944, p.76) was the first term used to describe Asperger’s Syndrome” (p. 132). In 1943 the condition of autism was discovered by Dr. Leo Kanner. His description of autism reflects the lack of involvement of children socially with other people, but reflects the consistency of routines and differences in mannerisms. In 1944 Dr. Hans Asperger, who was unknowing of Kanner’s work with autism, introduced children with a milder form of Autism. He published his work; however, the audience of the research was very limited. Asperger revealed in Asperger’s Syndrome (AS) when his works were published in Germany. The United States was not introduced to this disability until the work of Dr. Lorna Wind in 1981 (Smith, 2007). Asperger’s Syndrome has specific characteristics and signals for people to identify in children. Reading comprehension is a major obstacle for AS children to overcome. These children will require additional guideance from teachers and parents. Often time the AS child can be successful in the general education classroom with certain inclusion...
