Designing surveys to investigate the impacts of wildfire smoke on human health

Creator:: Attridge, Samuel J.
Abstract:: Wildfires are increasing in frequency. One area of research interest centers on the pollutants within wildfire smoke, including but not limited to particulate matter and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. These chemicals are associated with exacerbation of respiratory, cardiovascular, dermatological, reproductive, oncological, gastrointestinal, and infectious conditions. As wildfires becoming increasingly prevalent, it...

Characterizing PM2.5 with Different Source Contributions

Creator:: Perez, Allison Mae S.
Abstract:: Ubiquitous fine particulate matter (PM2.5) exposures significantly impact global public health, yet little is known about the mechanisms causing these known adverse health effects. Oxidative stress due to PM2.5 associated chemical constituents, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), is a proposed possible mechanism for PM2.5 mediated health effects. Variations in...

New Inorganic Pigments from Mineral Structures

Creator:: Schettini Mejia, Carlo A.
Abstract:: The discovery of new blue pigments is a field of great interest, as commercially available pigments present properties that make them undesirable such as poor sustainability, cost, and stability. By researching solid solutions with the melilite structure, we discovered a new solid solution Sr2Zn1-xNixGe2O7, with 0.1 ≤ x ≤ 0.6,...

Investigating potential factors that impact aging in Drosophila melanogaster under blue light

Creator:: Sundaram, Subisha
Abstract:: Blue light exposure has been on the rise over the past several years as artificial light in the form of light emitting diodes (LEDs) have been increasing. These LEDs emit predominantly blue light through TVs, computer monitors, smartphones, tablets etc. Previous research in our lab determined that blue light accelerated...

The Development of a User-Friendly Website for Management and Analysis of Cookstove Impact Data

Creator:: Bennett, Marley R.
Abstract:: The clean cookstove sector has long sought the tools and analysis methods needed to accurately quantify social, environmental, and economic impacts of projects in diverse settings. To respond to this need, Climate Solutions Consulting and Oregon State University have developed a novel integrated suite of sensors to collect fuel usage...

Community Risk Factors for Post-Hurricane Disease

Creator:: Hultberg, Kate
Abstract:: This thesis explores interrelationships between the geographical impact of recent hurricanes, rates of giardiasis and cryptosporidiosis in impacted communities, and effects of hurricanes on local water infrastructure systems. I obtained quantitative data on geographical hurricane attributes, demographic characteristics of populations struck by hurricanes, and confirmed cases of giardiasis and cryptosporidiosis...

Upcycle Style: Promoting Sustainability in the Fashion Industry Through Entrepreneurship

Creator:: Cummings, Mackenzie A.
Abstract:: The fashion industry is becoming increasingly unsustainable. Overconsumption of clothing, exacerbated by fast fashion, is worsening the environmental impact of both the production and disposal of clothing. Clothing reuse, particularly thrifting, is gaining popularity, yet most donated clothes still never get sold. I have developed a plan for a small...

Studying the most effective modes of marine science communication on plastic pollution in the oceans

Creator:: Burton, Simone A.
Abstract:: The ocean provides many ecosystems services and yet humans have viewed the ocean as a black hole for trash since the 1950s. With recycling not getting to the source of the problem, smarter consumer choices are being targeted, specifically choices centered around the use of plastic. Thus efficient, useful communication...

Social Determinants to Real FreedomsAn Empirical Development of the Capabilities Approach

Creator:: Trujillo, Michael A.
Abstract:: In the Capabilities Approach literature “capabilities” are the real freedoms individuals possess to achieve certain “functionings,” which are the doings and beings that constitute a good life. I argue that this approach requires, or at least can benefit from, an account of the psychosocial mechanisms involved in capability limitation. The...

Ethical Research Conduct Scholarly Recommendations: Exposure Research During and After Disasters

Creator:: Stellmacher, Claire
Abstract:: The frequency of devastating disasters has increased in the United States due to the presence of climate change. Human subject research is often conducted in these post-disaster areas to gain valuable data and insights. In recent years, discourse regarding the ethical nature of research conduct in these exposure areas has...
