The effect of foot articulation on exercise intensity during aerobic dance
Title
The effect of foot articulation on exercise intensity during aerobic dance.
Creator
Angelo, Anita M., Florida Atlantic University, Whitehurst, Michael
Abstract/Description
Aerobic dance intensity can be affected by subtle changes in muscular involvement. To test this hypothesis, two variations (i.e. foot articulation vs. non-articulation) of a simulated aerobic dance movement (i.e. marching in place) were performed by college students enrolled in fitness classes at FAU. Following a separate day to determine VO2 max, all subjects participated in two randomized test sessions (24-48 hrs apart). One session required the subjects to march (non-articulation) to music...
Show moreAerobic dance intensity can be affected by subtle changes in muscular involvement. To test this hypothesis, two variations (i.e. foot articulation vs. non-articulation) of a simulated aerobic dance movement (i.e. marching in place) were performed by college students enrolled in fitness classes at FAU. Following a separate day to determine VO2 max, all subjects participated in two randomized test sessions (24-48 hrs apart). One session required the subjects to march (non-articulation) to music, taught via videotape, while their heart rate and oxygen consumption were measured. In another session, a foot articulation method was taught to all subjects, using the same marching task originally performed under the non-articulation condition. Articulation HR (114 $\pm$.7 bpm) and VO2 (11.11 $\pm$.142 ml/kg/min) were significantly (p $<$.05) higher than the non-articulation HR (108 $\pm$.7 bpm) and VO2 (9.98 $\pm$.132 ml/kg/min). The results show that articulated marching produced a greater exercise intensity than non-articulated marching.

Morphometrics and multi-landmark depth analysis of the proximal hallucal metatarsal articular surface in hominoid
Title
Morphometrics and multi-landmark depth analysis of the proximal hallucal metatarsal articular surface in hominoid.
Creator
Proctor, Daniel J., Florida Atlantic University, Broadfield, Douglas C.
Abstract/Description
Three dimensional morphometrics and analysis of surface depths and breadths are used to compare the proximal articular surface of the first metatarsal among and between Homo sapiens, Pan troglodytes, Gorilla, Hylobates, and Pongo. Casts of the fossils AL 333-54, STX 5017 and OH 8 are analyzed in light of the data gathered. Significant differences in morphology exist between these species; the most extreme morphologies exhibited are in Homo and Hylobates. While the OH 8 articular surface is...
Show moreThree dimensional morphometrics and analysis of surface depths and breadths are used to compare the proximal articular surface of the first metatarsal among and between Homo sapiens, Pan troglodytes, Gorilla, Hylobates, and Pongo. Casts of the fossils AL 333-54, STX 5017 and OH 8 are analyzed in light of the data gathered. Significant differences in morphology exist between these species; the most extreme morphologies exhibited are in Homo and Hylobates. While the OH 8 articular surface is essentially indistinguishable from Homo sapiens, AL 333-54 and STX 5017 show a mosaic of human-like and ape-like traits, which indicates the retention of the ability to abduct and rotate the hallux. The cast of AL 333-54 shows many similarities to Gorilla, while demonstrating many changes in line with Homo . The cast of STX 5017 retains a surface morphology much like Gorilla and Pan, with fewer similarities to Homo compared to AL 333-54.

Using the Braden Scale to predict heel pressure ulcer development in hospitalized patients with peripheral arterial disease
Title
Using the Braden Scale to predict heel pressure ulcer development in hospitalized patients with peripheral arterial disease.
Creator
Demers, Charlene A., Florida Atlantic University, Jett, Kathleen F.
Abstract/Description
The purpose of this descriptive, correlational study was to attempt to determine if the Braden Scale predicts heel pressure ulcer development in hospitalized patients with peripheral vascular disease. A retrospective chart review was conducted on 235 medical records of patients admitted to the hospital with a primary and secondary diagnosis of peripheral vascular disease. One hundred thirty-two of the records reviewed were excluded from the study due to a confounding diagnosis of diabetes...

A retrospective chart review was conducted on 235 medical records of patients admitted to the hospital with a primary and secondary diagnosis of peripheral vascular disease. One hundred thirty-two of the records reviewed were excluded from the study due to a confounding diagnosis of diabetes mellitus. Of the 103 medical records that met criteria, only three patients developed a heel pressure ulcer. All patients were white and over the age of 80. Of the three patients who developed heel ulcers, two had Braden scores of 18 or less and one had a Braden score of greater than 18. The findings do raise many important questions for further study and the need for a more precise measure of risk of heal ulcers.

Sentimental spirits: saving the soul while seizing the heart and swaying the mind.

Abstract/Description
During the nineteenth century, African American women like Jarena Lee, Zilpha Elaw, and Julia Foote wrote narratives of their spiritual conversions. Through their efforts and the efforts of others like them, spiritual autobiographies became not only evangelical tools but also a means of shaping African American culture and American society in general. While some black women were working to claim power for their gender and race by writing spiritual narratives, other women, both black and white...

While some black women were working to claim power for their gender and race by writing spiritual narratives, other women, both black and white, were working with sentimental literature to achieve similar goals.
