Stream temperature, as an important component of stream ecosystems, can be affected by forest harvesting through removal of riparian shade and changes in hydrology. Riparian Management Areas
(RMAs), as implemented through the current Oregon Forest Practice Rules, are designed, in part, to maintain stream temperature following forest harvesting. However, effectiveness...
Background/Purpose: US public health, criminal justice, and many other social and scientific processes are affected by the quality of data obtained about death. Yet, little research has focused on how death investigations are conducted. The overall goal of this research was to examine the process by which information was obtained...
Childhood obesity and food insecurity are public health issues that often coexist, and both conditions are more prevalent among rural compared to non-rural populations. Social ecological prevention efforts are recommended, yet limited research has examined how rural family-home environments may influence obesity-preventing and -promoting behaviors. The purpose of this dissertation...
This research summarizes the cumulative efforts of in-depth research,
extensive participant observation, and archival analysis focused on Southern Oregon
lesbian lands. This community of womyn has persisted in rural Southern Oregon for
nearly 30 years. The intention of this study is to examine both the accumulation of
knowledge of issues...
The pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs) and ergot alkaloids are known natural toxicants found in livestock forage. These alkaloids contribute to large economic losses in livestock throughout the world. An understanding of the mechanisms of toxicity and development of better diagnostic tools for better management practices was investigated. Variability exists in the...
A replicated before–after-control-impact study was used to test effectiveness of Oregon’s (USA) riparian
protection measures at minimizing increases in summer stream temperature associated with timber harvest.
Sites were located on private and state forest land. Practices on private forests require riparian management
areas around fish-bearing streams; state forest’s prescriptions are...

PURPOSE-Administrators of nursing homes are turning over at very high rates in the present industry. With the growth of older populations needing skilled nursing care, this presents a risk to the needs of the elderly. Satisfaction and turnover have been correlated in the literature. The purpose of this qualitative study...
Use of the Internet for health information has been gaining popularity, and some studies suggest an increase in the use of online interactive peer-to-peer forums for seeking health information. Internet health information-seeking is especially popular among those with stigmatized conditions such as obesity, and negative healthcare experiences have been linked...
