Sexual knowledge and concerns are part of the multidimensional nature of human sexuality, shaped by sociocultural influences (e.g. religiosity and culture). The relationship between couples’ religiosity and their sexuality education needs is poorly understood. The purpose of the research as a pilot study was to explore premarital individuals’ sexual and reproductive health literacy and sexual concerns, as well as whether religiosity might be able to predict either one of these variables. Using a small sample of dating and engaged couples and individuals (N = 48), bivariate regression analyses, analyses of variance, and a canonical correlation analysis (CCA) were conducted on survey data. Results from the CCA indicated that there may be a complex and negative relationship between one’s religiosity and sexual/reproductive health knowledge, but given the small sample size, the results were statistically insignificant.

This paper discusses the irreversible decrement model and explores credibility and performance changes in older persons through a study conducted with 300 residents of the Dallas/Fort Worth area. Phyllis L. Jones performs a literature review before delving into the methodology, process, and results of the study.

This presentation is about the creation of the Nimitz Family Photographs Collection. It was presented at the UNT Libraries' 2024 Student Snapshots Symposium held in Denton, Texas.

In the title molecule, C₂₀H₁₇Cl₂NO, the central heterocyclic ring adopts a flattened boat conformation.

Brachaid is a collection of photographs that explore the blindness of our perspective that is informed by images. By photographing peripheral landscapes like wastewater processing facilities, the edges of temporary streams, and stormwater basins, the project uses the landscape and its perceived neutrality to foreground how the production of images constructs our perception. The work in Brachaid emphasizes the production of images, from subject and framing choices to the use of imaging software, to demonstrate that such production is regularly and radically obscured in most of the images we consume, and that this same structure exists in our lived reality.

This article provides a literature review regarding mobile technology used for mobile learning in Africa.

The purpose of this study was to bring a new conceptual quantitative balance to the existing elements in my work thereby establishing a new clarity. It was felt that the above accomplishment would bring about new worth; so that when my work was perceived it would have a greater impact upon the viewer. An expectant visual richness in the imagery would prove that it had been strengthened through simplification of the relationship of form to content. This new visual richness would bring about a new conceptual level to the work, because it had been synthesized into a meaningful statement.

This article discusses validation of the potential of an extraction and characterization approach via application to ancient bone proteins, as part of a larger method-development project for innovation and improvement of liquid chromatography - mass spectrometry analysis of protein residues from cooking pottery.

This paper discusses the results of a study to examine how "crisis points" throughout the progression of HIV in HIV+ women contributes to stress responses of avoidant behavior, hyperarousal, and intrusive thoughts. Deborah Jones explains how stress levels were determined and stressors were analyzed throughout the course of the study.

This paper examines the learning rate of the two different hemispheres of the brain and compares them through a study. Lance Hoffmeyer explains the findings derived from a test conducted through having subjects complete a random polygon task.

The title compound, C₂₆H₂₁Cl₂NO, crystallizes with two symmetry-independent molecules in the asymmetric unit.

Stress responses and coping strategies were assessed for 155 fire fighters who worked during and immediately following Hurricane Andrew in Dade County, Florida in 1992. The participants were surveyed approximately two months after the hurricane, and again one year following the hurricane. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between the amount of emotional social support received and the amount of symptomatology the participants experienced. This study also introduced empathy as a form of perceived emotional social support and examined the relationship between the empathy felt by the participants and the symptomatology they experienced. For this study, empathy was defined as a participant's ratings of feeling that others truly understand what he or she has been through and is feeling. While other forms of received motional social support were related to an increase in symptomatology, more empathy was related to less symptomatology, in some cases significantly.

This study focuses on alcoholism and intervention of alcoholism. Considering the vulnerability of children of alcoholic parents, the study examines personality development among first and last born children with an alcoholic parents.

This presentation highlights the author's work with the UNT Digital Library collection for Mnemothèque Internationale des Arts Electroacoustiques (MISAME). It was presented at the UNT Libraries' 2023 Student Snapshots Symposium held in Denton, Texas.

Existing studies of people who are homeless provide descriptive information about the heterogeneity of the population. Families who are homeless are the fastest growing subset of this population. This study examined the variability in psychological and social functioning among homeless mothers and attempted to identify risk factors that predict level of adult functioning. Data was collected from 76 homeless mothers with minor aged children receiving services at area shelters. The sample was divided between highly structured and unstructured shelter environments. Each participant completed an extensive interview which included measures of personal and family history, risk factors and current psychological and social functioning. Social functioning was able to be predicted by a number of these risk factors.

The purpose of this study was to assess the outcome of a therapeutic horseback riding program on physically disabled.

This paper provides an in depth examination of the style and works of Antonio Vivaldi, particular his secular solo cantatas. Stephen J. Town also provides historical background about the development of the solo cantatas as well as the life of the composer Antonio Vivaldi.

This paper is addressed to the inner city and some suburban congregations seeking to express their faith through practical initiatives to revitalize their distressed communities. The paper seeks to inspire and instruct the reader with motivational stories containing illustrations of the valuable role that African-American congregations have played in stimulating economic development in their communities. The paper also shows the importance of African-Americans having some control over the flow of economic funds throughout the community. African-American churches in the inner city should undertake significant ventures in community economic development to minister to the temporal as well as the spiritual needs of their communities. This paper will demonstrate how the African-American church, with assistance from federal, state, local programs, and private concerns, can be effective in the urban revitalization.
