Research Aims. In order to gain a full appreciation of next generation institutional transnationalism, the study explores the following. First it describes and analyses the patterns of next generation inclusion across a range of philanthropic and political transnational organizations. Second, it investigates the form, frequency and impact of next generation institutionalized activities. Third, the study examines the factors that contribute to the emergence of next generation institutionalized activities. Amongst these factors, particular attention is paid to human variables, opportunity structures, processes of socialization, and individual volition, and how next generation institutionalized transnationalism affects assimilation and incorporation within the United States. The research on these aspects of next generation transnationalism has been organized around five key aims. These are outlined below, and briefly positioned in relation to related works. Furthermore, some brief details are provided on how these aims are addressed. This chapter then outlines the structure of the thesis, before concluding with a brief section on important aspects of the terminology used in the study. Aim 1: Determine the patterns of next generation inclusion within transnational organizations Previous studies that have explored institutional (Xxxxx-Xxxxxx, 2005; Xxxxx and Xxxxxx, 2008) and non- institutional (Xxxxxx and Xxxxxx, 2002; Xxxxxxx, 2002; Xxxxxxxx et al., 2002) transnational activities among individuals born and/or raised in the United States predict mostly limited involvement - at rates that are significantly lower than the parental generation. This study therefore examines to what extent this also applies to their involvement in transnational organizations, paying particular attention to variations in an attempt to isolate factors and organizational characteristics that could explain next generation inclusion or exclusion. Aim 2: Examine the form and frequency of next generation institutional transnationalism Itzigsohn and Xxxxxxx (2002) distinguished between ‘broad’ and ‘narrow’ forms of transnational activities: the former designated occasional practices and the latter more regular commitments. This study investigates the positions and responsibilities that next generation individuals have assumed within their respective organizations, and the impact their contributions have generated in order to consider to what extent their contributions conform to ‘broad’ or ‘narrow’ defin...

Research Aims. To fill these research gaps, the present research uses secondary data analysis of two national datasets related to drug and MAT use: the National Surveys on Drug Use and Health and the Treatment Episodes Datasets. Use of nationally-representative data among adults and a specific focus on differences by opioid use type enable generalizable findings that forecast needs in order to strategically plan targeted prevention and treatment interventions. This dissertation research aims to:

Research Aims. The IOM revised guidelines include a call for increased research surrounding GWG. AI/AN women are a unique population to the United States with high rates of maternal obesity and diabetes. There needs to be more research surrounding the effects of prepregnancy BMI and GWG during pregnancy and subsequent pregnancy outcomes to help guide clinical management of high-risk pregnancies among AI/AN women. The primary objective of this study is to investigate the individual and joint effects of high prepregnancy BMI and excess GWG on fetal macrosomia using a retrospective cohort study of AI/AN women. A sub-analysis of only non-diabetic women will be conducted to account for the possible confounding of diabetes. The secondary aim of this analysis is to display the associations of macrosomia with these two main exposures for each individual state to look at possible geographic differences.

Research Aims. In summary, the literature regarding the “gateway” phenomenon in the context of the current tobacco and marijuana market and social norms landscape is limited, with additional research needed to more fully characterize who is most likely to initiate use overall using distinct products and the subsequent use patterns that evolve based on which product was first used. This paper aims to contribute to the literature by examining tobacco and marijuana use outcomes (i.e., number of products ever used or currently used) in relation to first product used among ever users of tobacco or marijuana, as well as characterizing those who initially use the distinct tobacco products or marijuana.

Research Aims. ‌ The primary research questions that this paper will address are concurrent with those that shaped the research design for the Latrine Training Mat study (referred to in this paper as the WASH-LTM study). In order to ascertain whether the latrine training mat could be considered a feasible tool, it was necessary to first understand the context of rural Western Kenya and how it influences children’s defecation practices – particularly those that take place between the ages of two and five years old. It was hypothesized that, during this age range, children were developmentally capable of learning to use the latrine, but this learning process was often delayed due to specific contextual barriers. Consequently, this study aimed to first identify the local perceptions and practices that related to this issue, and then to evaluate how the latrine training mat could be used and would be perceived within the local context. The following are the three questions that shaped the LTM research design, and which will direct the discussion put forth in this paper. Research Question 1: What are the current practices surrounding child defecation, feces disposal, and toilet training in rural Western Kenya? Research Question 2: What are the perceived benefits and limitations of the latrine training mat for households in rural Western Kenya? Research Question 3: Is the latrine training mat a feasible tool for effectively facilitating latrine use and behavior change among young children and their mothers? Chapter 2: Literature Review‌

Research Aims. The aim of this study was to identify the genetic cause of NSC. Initially we planned to map areas of homozygosity within the genome of NSC patients by utilising SNP linkage analysis and homozygosity mapping with platforms such as HomozygosityMapper and BeadStudio. This was followed by WES analysis. Through the data generated, potential strong candidate genes were identified and prioritised based on their encoded proteins function and tissue distribution of expression, primarily in the liver and biliary tract. Subsequently, by direct sequencing of the genes, we aimed to confirm the disease causing mutations and the potential effect of the gene product in the manifestation of NSC.

Research Aims. All the work you do is headed towards publications in peer-reviewed journals and conferences. The number of publications expected depends on your situation. For example, if you are enrolled in a master’s thesis program, you can expect to publish 1 journal and 2 conference papers. If you are enrolled in a doctoral program, expect to have 3 journal papers and 6 conferences publications. Conferences could include SPIE Medical Imaging, ISBI, IPCAI & CARS, MICCAI, ICCR, MR in RT Symposium. Attitude for successful research: If you are new to research, you need to realize that it is fundamentally different than academic assignments. Research involves developing novel knowledge. This means that it has never been done before and there is a risk of not meeting the objectives. Because this lab is concerned with ‘applying’ existing knowledge in Computer Science, that risk is reduced. Once meeting a “roadblock”, successful researchers will investigate the reasons behind it. You will need to be diligent, detail-oriented but also committed and perseverant. Once the cause(s) of the ‘roadblock’ is identified, you will be best placed to propose solutions and alternatives. Another key is communication. Communicating what you worked on, what you are working on, and any impediment is paramount. Dr. Xxxxx has an open-door policy, schedules frequent 1-on-1 meetings and we hold lab meetings to facilitate communication. Training goals: As a member of the research team, you can expect to gain translational skills within several areas of Computer Science; you will be trained in image processing, best development practices and you will be provided with a unique opportunity to learn and revisit concepts learned in the classrooms. We work together to create a personalized and focused training plan for your professional insertion.
