One of the most fundamental functions of human cognition is to parse an otherwise chaotic world into different kinds of things. The ability to learn what objects are and how to respond to them appropriately is essential for daily living. The literature has presented contrasting evidence about the role of perpetual features such as artifact appearance versus causal or inductive reasoning in chldren's category distinctions (e.g., function).

Show moreOne of the most fundamental functions of human cognition is to parse an otherwise chaotic world into different kinds of things. The ability to learn what objects are and how to respond to them appropriately is essential for daily living. The literature has presented contrasting evidence about the role of perpetual features such as artifact appearance versus causal or inductive reasoning in chldren's category distinctions (e.g., function). The present project used a child-initiated inquiry paradigm to investigate how children conceptualize artifacts, specifically how they prioritize different types of information that typify not only novel but also familiar objects. Results underscore a hybrid model in which perceptual features and deeper properties act synergistically to inform children's artifact conceptualization. Function, however, appears to be the driving force of this relationship.

- You’ve got to keep ‘em separated: characterizing lagging chromosome prevention in oral cancer cells.
- Creator
- Beltran, Rosa Nathalie, Quintyne, Nicholas, Harriet L. Wilkes Honors College
- Abstract/Description
-
Mitosis is the separation of duplicated chromosomes into two daughter cells in order to create viable offspring. There are many checks in mitosis to ensure the inherited chromosome number is correct. Sometimes, these checkpoints are overcome and daughter cells inherit defects which can lead to cancer. One defect is the appearance of lagging chromosomes, the result of inaccurate chromosomal separation which leads to incorrect chromosome number termed aneuploidy. Aneuploidy is one of the...
Show moreMitosis is the separation of duplicated chromosomes into two daughter cells in order to create viable offspring. There are many checks in mitosis to ensure the inherited chromosome number is correct. Sometimes, these checkpoints are overcome and daughter cells inherit defects which can lead to cancer. One defect is the appearance of lagging chromosomes, the result of inaccurate chromosomal separation which leads to incorrect chromosome number termed aneuploidy. Aneuploidy is one of the defining traits of cancerous cells. The potential mechanism of lagging chromosomes in the cancerous cell line UPCI:OSCC070 is investigated in this study. siRNA-induced knockdown of KIFC1, a protein that is involved in the centrosomal clustering to prevent multipolar spindles, was used in the cells. Examining both levels of knockdown and time of exposure, we saw that the loss of KIFC1 led to a significant increase in lagging chromosomes, indicating this protein is critical to proper mitotic progression.

- Abstract/Description

In this thesis I explore the circumstances in which pregnant Guatemalan Mayan women in South Florida communities found themselves. A local non-profit organization, the Guatemalan Maya Center (GMC), offered assistance to pregnant Mayan women to secure biomedical prenatal care, yet many continued to underutilize these services. The decision to utilize this form of care largely depended on whether a woman received care from a traditional midwife in the community. Women receiving care from a...
Show moreIn this thesis I explore the circumstances in which pregnant Guatemalan Mayan women in South Florida communities found themselves. A local non-profit organization, the Guatemalan Maya Center (GMC), offered assistance to pregnant Mayan women to secure biomedical prenatal care, yet many continued to underutilize these services. The decision to utilize this form of care largely depended on whether a woman received care from a traditional midwife in the community. Women receiving care from a midwife generally did not seek biomedical care until late in their pregnancies. Women unable to locate a midwife often incorporated biomedical care once they suspected pregnancy. Due to the difficulties accessing the GMC's services prior to enrollment many of these women did not obtain "timely" care. A better understanding of the ways in which Guatemalan Mayan women incorporated biomedical prenatal care into their lives is the first step towards increasing their participation in these services.

- You should be ashamed of yourself: a study of moral development and moral emotion.
- Creator
- Bright, Justin., Harriet L. Wilkes Honors College
- Abstract/Description
-
Research on Kohlberg's theory of moral development has examined moral development by examining individuals' justice operations. However, how the moral emotions are related to moral development has been neglected. In a sample of mostly undergraduates (N=53), moral development (measured using an index of higher-level moral reasoning and one of reasoning consistency from the Defining Issues Test) and the moral emotions of guilt, shame, empathy, and self-esteem were measured. Shame was positively...
Show moreResearch on Kohlberg's theory of moral development has examined moral development by examining individuals' justice operations. However, how the moral emotions are related to moral development has been neglected. In a sample of mostly undergraduates (N=53), moral development (measured using an index of higher-level moral reasoning and one of reasoning consistency from the Defining Issues Test) and the moral emotions of guilt, shame, empathy, and self-esteem were measured. Shame was positively related to higher moral reasoning (r=.26, p<.10); guilt was not (r=-.02, ns). Empathy was also positively correlated with higher moral reasoning (r=.19). Moral consistency was positively related to shame (r=.31, p<.05) and guilt (r=.32, p<.05). Existential theory was used to explain the differentiation between shame and guilt in their correlations with higher moral reasoning. The correlations between moral consistency and guilt and between moral consistency and shame are discussed with respect to the inhibitive nature of shame and guilt.

- You keep me hangin' on: dynactin's p24 is essential for microtube anchoring.
- Creator
- Le, Ariel., Harriet L. Wilkes Honors College
- Abstract/Description
-
Dynactin is a multisubunit protein complex that functions as a processivity cofactor to cytoplasmic dynein, assisting in vesicle transport and cell division. Independent of dynein,dynactin also serves to anchor microtubules to the centrosome. The functions of the majority of dynactin's subunits have been described to a certain degree ; however, the p24 subunit remains largely uncharacterized. Among the few things that are known about p24 are that it has a predicted molecular weight of about...
Show moreDynactin is a multisubunit protein complex that functions as a processivity cofactor to cytoplasmic dynein, assisting in vesicle transport and cell division. Independent of dynein,dynactin also serves to anchor microtubules to the centrosome. The functions of the majority of dynactin's subunits have been described to a certain degree ; however, the p24 subunit remains largely uncharacterized. Among the few things that are known about p24 are that it has a predicted molecular weight of about 20,822 Da, forms an a-helix, and binds directly to the p150[Glued] subunit. In order to explore its function further, we have performed shRNA-mediated knockdown, and fluorescent microscopy. We observe that microtubule disorganization is amplified due to the loss of p24. Our findings support the model that p24 serves as reinforcement to stabilize p150[Glued] at the centrosome.
