Abstract

• Embodiment and absorption in literary texts require finding oneself in someone else's shoes. • Embodiment protocols and literary texts may be presented from various perspectives. • We found evidence that literary perspectives evoked similar absorption levels. • We indeed outlined a critical difference between embodiment and absorption. Embodiment refers to the possibility of processing external objects as part of one's body. Similarly, absorption refers to the subjective experience of being absorbed in a narrative text and identifying with characters. Embodiment and absorption in literary texts have in common the idea of finding oneself in someone else's shoes. Recent studies have shown that embodiment is influenced by the perspective used to induce the illusion. The present study aimed to assess whether absorption in literary texts was modulated by perspective too. We first confirmed the reliability of the absorption measure (Story World Absorption Scale − SWAS) in Italian. Then, we used a Bayesian approach to assess the impact of the story perspective on the perceived absorption. Our results showed that, unlike embodiment, the level of absorption is not influenced by the narrative's perspective, suggesting that different processes underlie the two experiences of self-projection.

3. Associations between oral health and general health: a surveywide association study of the NHANES.

Author

Strait, Rachel H., Barnes, Suzanne, and Smith, Derek K.

Abstract

Objective: This proof of concept study uses data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) to explore potential associations between oral and systemic health in a survey-wide association study (SWAS). Basic research design: Data from n=9,971 records in the 2015-2016 NHANES survey were used to evaluate associations between self-rated oral health and the various systemic health conditions that are included in the survey. Associations were estimated using survey-weighted linear regression models adjusted for age, sex, race, and smoking status. Results: Substantial associations with self-rated oral health were evident after correction for multiple comparisons. The study revealed associations in categories of mental health, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes adding to the body of evidence. The study also suggested associations with physical functioning, vision, hearing, genitourinary symptoms, and the prevalence of hepatitis. Conclusions: The SWAS method demonstrated the ability to identify associations between oral health and systemic health. Suggested associations should be investigated further investigated with emphasis on both biologic and societal mechanisms. The noteworthy associations with mental health, physical activity, and cardiovascular disease in this study inform clinicians from each of these disciplines that they may benefit from collaborations with oral health care providers to promote whole-person health.

6. Story World Absorption Scale

Abstract

Even though there is extensive research on absorbing experiences with narrative media, an instrument able to measure di erent aspects of absorption in the story world of a textual narrative has yet to be developed. Such an instrument should be able to predict di erent evaluative responses while at the same time being sensi- tive to various stimulus materials, because it could help further the research into the relationships between narrative texts, absorbing experiences and entertain- ment outcomes. is paper develops such an instrument through a literature review, interview study, pilot study, and exploratory and con rmatory factor analysis. Attention, transportation, emotional engagement and mental imagery were found to be dimensions of story world absorption. e nal scale is reliable, sensitive to di erent stimulus materials and able to predict two di erent evaluative responses: enjoyment and impact. It is argued that the text a reader reads deter- mines the particular evaluative response to a story world absorption experience.

Abstract

Disturbances, such as invasive insects and atmospheric deposition, have the potential to significantly alter nitrogen cycling in forested watersheds. Excess nitrogen in forested watersheds can trigger nitrogen saturation, stream acidification, and it can threaten native biodiversity. This study explored two aspects of nitrogen dynamics in forested watersheds. The first study explored the effect of the emerald ash borer in Shenandoah National Park. Stream nitrate data from 1988 to the present, at 12 watersheds, was compared to the amount of ash cover within each watershed. Seasonally sampled watersheds displayed significant results between presumed ash coverage and enhanced stream nitrate concentrations (p = 0.04). Based on the observed results, emerald ash borer activity can be detectable in heightened stream nitrate concentrations. The second study quantified the sources and sinks of nitrogen in Shenandoah National Park. A nitrogen budget was presented for five watersheds in Shenandoah National Park. It was determined that the carbon-to-nitrogen ratio found in forest soils is an excellent indicator of how much nitrogen is stored and exported in streams each year. Additionally, it was determined that two watersheds in Shenandoah National Park are exhibiting early signs of nitrogen saturation due to heightened atmospheric deposition levels, elevated stream nitrate export, and low soil C:N ratios.

8. Development of a Surface Washing Agent Protocol: Effect of temperature and salinity on the recovery of heavy weight oil from substrate

Abstract

Chemical countermeasures used to treat oil spills are described under the National Contingency Plan (NCP). Currently, there are protocols in place to test bioremediation agents, dispersants and other chemical agents but there is no standardized protocol to test the effectiveness of surface washing agents. Surface washing agents (SWAs) can be used following an oil spill event to enhance the removal of stranded oil from shorelines and other surfaces. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has developed a testing protocol to evaluate the effectiveness of SWAs in the laboratory. This thesis describes the optimization of the Natural Substrate Protocol (Koran, 2007) for use with a heavy weight oil, IFO 180. Work was also conducted to examine the effects of temperature and salinity on the efficiency of SWAs. This thesis also examines the dispersion effects of six SWAs, using the baffled flask test. Finally, SWA efficiencies were compared when diluted in freshwater (de-ionized water) or seawater.Findings suggest that both temperature and salinity play a large role in the efficiency of SWAs. The baffled flask tests showed that the six SWAs had some dispersion properties. The recoveries varied, but one had a dispersion efficiency over the minimum required to be listed as a dispersant. This test should be conducted as a prerequisite for listing SWAs on the NCP Product Schedule. When the SWAs were first diluted by freshwater or seawater, a significant difference was observed among several of the treatments in terms of surface washing effectiveness, but since the difference in recoveries between the treatments were under 5%, this was deemed insignificant for real world application. This research examined several variables that should be accounted for when evaluating SWAs to be listed on the Product Schedule.Chapter 1 of this thesis describes the recently developed protocol for testing SWAs. Chapter 2 describes the methods and materials used for examining the heavier weight oil. This chapter also discusses the test oils, SWAs, the substrates, wash water, and results from the Baffled Flask Test (BFT). Chapter 3 discusses the findings of the BFT, the dilution experiments, and how temperature affected the efficiency of the SWAs. Chapter 4 introduces the fractional factorial experiment conducted to narrow down the most significant factors affecting the protocol and evaluates the findings from it. Chapter 5 examines the utility of the findings in the development of a standardized testing protocol for SWAs and recommends future work needed.

Abstract

In the framework of the Water in Star-forming regions with Herschel (WISH) key program, maps in water lines of several outflows from young stars are being obtained, to study the water production in shocks and its role in the outflow cooling. This paper reports the first results of this program, presenting a PACS map of the o-H2O 179 um transition obtained toward the young outflow L1157. The 179 um map is compared with those of other important shock tracers, and with previous single-pointing ISO, SWAS, and Odin water observations of the same source that allow us to constrain the water abundance and total cooling. Strong H2O peaks are localized on both shocked emission knots and the central source position. The H2O 179 um emission is spatially correlated with emission from H2 rotational lines, excited in shocks leading to a significant enhancement of the water abundance. Water emission peaks along the outflow also correlate with peaks of other shock-produced molecular species, such as SiO and NH3. A strong H2O peak is also observed at the location of the proto-star, where none of the other molecules have significant emission. The absolute 179 um intensity and its intensity ratio to the H2O 557 GHz line previously observed with Odin/SWAS indicate that the water emission originates in warm compact clumps, spatially unresolved by PACS, having a H2O abundance of the order of 10^-4. This testifies that the clumps have been heated for a time long enough to allow the conversion of almost all the available gas-phase oxygen into water. The total water cooling is ~10^-1 Lo, about 40% of the cooling due to H2 and 23% of the total energy released in shocks along the L1157 outflow., Comment: Accepted for publication in Astronomy and Astrophysics (Herschel special issue)
