Sexual and Reproductive Health Education in Maunatlala, Botswana

Creator:: Gray, Tyler A.
Abstract:: The purpose of this thesis is the development of a comprehensive sexual and reproductive health (SRH) education program for the junior secondary school in Maunatlala, Botswana. Community based participatory research methods were followed throughout this project to develop a relevant and culturally sensitive program. Data was collected through interviews with...

Just a tool after all? No evidence for tool-use effects on the body representation across virtual and real environments

Creator:: Bell, Joshua D.
Abstract:: While human tool-use proficiency helped define our history, the cognitive and perceptual mechanics of how humans use tools are not fully understood. This question is of great value to the design of hand-held tools and prosthetics. A prominent theory, tool embodiment, suggests that tool use is facilitated by a flexible...

Inferring Patterns and Processes of Emergence in Clonal Phytophthora Epidemics using Population Genomic Approaches

Creator:: Cauldron, Nicholas C.
Abstract:: Oomycete and fungal pathogens threaten food, fiber, and forests around the world. With climate change, these pathogens are expected to emerge more frequently. Evolution can facilitate their emergence through mechanisms such as mutations that change or expand host range. Characterizing evolutionary mechanisms in plant pathogens will contribute to our ability...

A Dysfunctional System: Policy Recommendations for the Adult (18-65) Homeless and Severely Mentally Ill Population in Oregon

Creator:: Miller, Donielle F.
Abstract:: Adults with severe and persistent mental illness (SPMI) are overrepresented in the homeless population, and Oregon’s homeless population has expanded in recent years. In the 1950s, the mentally ill were moved out of the state hospitals and into the community. However, due to a lack of support services in the...

Carnivore conservation needs evidence-based livestock protection

Creator:: van Eeden, Lily M., Eklund, Ann, Miller, Jennifer R. B., Lopez-Bao, Jose Vicente, Chapron, Guillaume, Cejtin, Mikael R., Crowther, Mathew S., Dickman, Christopher R., Frank, Jens, Krofel, Miha, Macdonald, David W., McManus, Jeannine, Meyer, Tara K., Middleton, Arthur D., Newsome, Thomas M., Ripple, William J., Ritchie, Euan G., Schmitz, Oswald J., Stoner, Kelly J., Tourani, Mahdieh, and Treves, Adrian
Abstract:: Carnivore predation on livestock often leads people to retaliate. Persecution by humans has contributed strongly to global endangerment of carnivores. Preventing livestock losses would help to achieve three goals common to many human societies: preserve nature, protect animal welfare, and safeguard human livelihoods. Between 2016 and 2018, four independent reviews...

Investigating Calving Areas for Rocky Mountain Elk on the Plumas National Forest: Implications for Land Management

Creator:: Marshall, Abigail C.
Abstract:: Sustainable elk (Cervus canadensis) habitat management on U.S. Forest Service (USFS) lands involves a complex relationship between management practices and ecological processes. A relatively novel Rocky Mountain elk population (Cervus canadensis nelsoni) on the Plumas National Forest (PNF) in northeastern California became established in the early 2000s, but there is...

Public lands and private waters: scarce mesic resources structure land tenure and sage-grouse distributions

Creator:: Donnelly, J. P., Naugle, D. E., Hagen, C. A., and Maestas, J. D.
Abstract:: Water scarcity in semiarid environments provides a model system to evaluate the role of mesic resources in structuring the distribution and abundance of wildlife. We used remote sensing and point process analyses to evaluate spatio–temporal variability in limited mesic resources in relation to greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) distributions in Oregon,...

Changing the culture of coastal, ocean, and marine sciences : strategies for individual and collective actions

Creator:: Behl, Mona, Cooper, Sharon, Garza, Corey, Kolesar, Sarah E., Legg, Sonya, Lewis, Jonathan C., White, Lisa, and Jones, Brandon
Abstract:: Geoscience is plagued with structural and systemic barriers that prevent people of historically excluded groups from fully participating in, contributing to, and accruing the benefits of geosciences. A change in the culture of our learning and working environments is required to dismantle barriers and promote belonging, accessibility, justice, equity, diversity,...

Tracking North Pacific Humpback Whales To Unravel Their Basin-Wide Movements

Creator:: Palacios, Daniel M., Mate, Bruce R., Baker, C. Scott, Hayslip, Craig E., Follett, Thomas M., Steel, Debbie, Lagerquist, Barbara A., Irvine, Ladd M., and Winsor, Martha H.
Abstract:: In 2014, Oregon State University (OSU) initiated a multi-year project to study humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) migrations in the North Pacific Ocean using satellite tracking technology in combination with genetic and photo-identification (photo-ID) analyses. The study is highly relevant to management, given the need for new information arising from the...

High resolution lake sediment record reveals self-organized criticality in erosion processes regulated by internal feedbacks

Creator:: Colombaroli, D., Gavin, D. G., Morey, A. E., and Thorndycraft, V. R.
Abstract:: Reconstruction of high-frequency erosion variability beyond the instrumental record requires well-dated, high-resolution proxies from sediment archives. We used computed tomography (CT) scans of finely laminated silt layers from a lake-sediment record in southwest Oregon to quantify the magnitude of natural landscape erosion events over the last 2000years in order to...
