- Description:
- Project (D.P.T., Physical Therapy)--California State University, Sacramento, 2015. and A patient post non-surgical lateral tibial plateau fracture was seen for student physical therapy treatment for 6 sessions from November 4th to December 16th, 2014 at CSU, Sacramento Department of Physical Therapy under the supervision of Lois Boulgarides, PT, DPT, MS. The patient was evaluated at the initial encounter with the use of manual muscle testing, single leg stance time, a complete NeuroCom SMART Balance Master® assessment, and a plan of care was established. Main goals for the patient were to increase lower extremity strength, proprioception, and dynamic balance in order to safely return to recreational basketball, running and hiking with decreased risk of fall or re-injury. Main interventions used were perturbation training, lower extremity graded therapeutic exercises and activities in the form of both direct intervention and a home exercise program. The patient achieved the goals of increased lower extremity strength, a normal single leg stance time and weight bearing squat as measured by the Balance Master®, and achieved clinically meaningful change in all activity and participation-level outcome measures. The patient was discharged home with a home exercise program.

- Description:
- Eugenics is a term sometimes casually thrown around in everyday discussions. It even appears in various forms of popular media such as television shows, movies, cartoons, novels, and even Japanese anime. Eugenics did not simply appear in human history as a coincidence. Its history is surprisingly engrained in the history of California itself. This master’s thesis has compiled a condensed history of eugenics to provide readers a solid understanding of the term. It then introduces readers to two significant historical figures as part of society’s amnesia about the existence and history of a eugenics movement: Charles Matthias Goethe and Paul Popenoe. This thesis utilizes various historical sources and artifacts of these two men to bring to life their actions within the twentieth-century eugenics movement. Goethe and Popenoe shared a singular worldview or they both wanted to use eugenics to solve the problems of twentieth-century society, such as: immigration; low IQ values; the population of low humans; opponents of eugenics; conflicted eugenicists of Catholic faith; eugenics organizations not agreeing; and a lack of sharing eugenics scholarship. However, Goethe and Popenoe had different ways of accomplishing their goals through the areas of: eugenics rhetoric; a California sterilization program; an intrinsic value of faith; analogizing low humans; collaboration among eugenics organizations; proliferating eugenics literature; and a global eugenics network. and Thesis (M.A., History)--California State University, Sacramento, 2018.

- Description:
- An elderly patient with chronic cerebellar stroke was seen for treatment for physical therapy for 12 sessions from October, 2013 until May, 2014 at an outpatient clinic for patients with neurological pathologies under the supervision of a licensed physical therapist. The patient was evaluated at the initial encounter and a plan of care was established. Main goals for the patient were improved static and dynamic postural control, speed and endurance with ambulation, and improved level of dependence with functional activities. Main interventions used were task specific training in the form of body weight-supported treadmill training and over-ground ambulation with assistive device, static and dynamic balance training, and the utilization of an individualized home exercise program. The patient achieved the following goals: improved range of motion, balance, functional mobility, aerobic capacity, gait, and postural control during ambulation. The patient was discharged to prior living arrangement (home with spouse) with home exercise program.

5. Influence of education, family involvement and socioeconomic status on crime and recidivism rates
- Creator:
- Schultz, Jennifer Erin
- Description:
- This project explored the influence education, family involvement and socioeconomic status has on crime and recidivism rates. Successful parolees were interviewed and asked questions regarding their experiences with education, family involvement, socioeconomic status and incarceration. The outcome of these interview heeded seven themes, which were 1) Felt no Connection with School, 2) Feeling of not being a part of their family 3) Growing-up in households that did not express emotions or communicate, 4) Traumatic experiences during adolescent or early teen years, 5) Jail as a break from the streets 6) Vocational classes as crime deterrent while incarcerated, and 7) Terminating criminal behavior because of "being tired." and Project (M.S.W., Social Work ) -- California State University, Sacramento, 2009.

- Description:
- There is growing need for staff buy-in and resources to educate school members on the benefits and methods of implementation of student voice strategies. Although schools strive to increase student achievement and create a safe space for students, the lifestyles and needs of high school students are ever-changing. This means school practices should constantly be updated using the input of the students themselves. While some schools have made attempts to implement select student voice practices, knowledge of the many student voice strategies that can be applied school wide are not widely recognized. A review of the literature serves as data for the understanding of student voice and its associated positive student outcomes. A literature and curriculum review was also conducted to create resources to educate high school staff on the background and implementation strategies regarding student voice. A finding from this experience is that school personnel need to be challenged to reevaluate the presumption that adults have a better understanding than youths on issues regarding how youths learn and what youths need to learn. and Project (Ed.S., Education (School Psychology))--California State University, Sacramento, 2019.

- The California Elections Data Archive (CEDA) is a joint project of the Center for California Studies, and the Institute for Social Research (ISR), at the California State University, Sacramento, and the office of the California Secretary of State. The purpose of CEDA is to provide researchers, citizens, public agencies, and other interested parties with a single repository of local election data. CEDA includes candidate, and ballot measure results for county, city, community college, and school district elections throughout the State. Election data from county election offices and websites are collected and these local election results are entered into an electronic CEDA database. This database is used to generate three standard CEDA reports: 1) County Elections: Candidates, ballot designations, and vote totals for all elected county offices; vote totals and text for county ballot measures. 2) City Elections: Candidates, ballot designations, and vote totals for all elected city offices; vote totals, and text for all city ballot measures. 3) Community College and School District Elections: Candidates, ballot designations, and vote totals for all elective community college and school district offices; vote totals and text for all district ballot measures. Ballot measures for all jurisdictions are coded according to type (e.g., charter amendment, taxes, bond measure, initiative, etc.) and to topic (e.g., education, public safety, governance, etc.). Election data and reports have been archived annually since 1995.

- Thesis (M.S., Mechanical Engineering)--California State University, Sacramento, 2018. and A generic remote control airplane is converted into an autonomous UAV. The aircraft’s dynamic behavior is represented in state space form, with a series of 1st order differential equations. Stability and control derivatives are estimated using software based on theory and empirical data. These estimates are checked using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). A SolidWorks® model of the remote control plane is obtained with the assistance of a 3D scanner. This model is used to estimate mass properties of the airplane, and to export geometric data to ANSYS for CFD. A mathematical model of the aircraft is created in Matlab, and Simulink is used to design the autonomous UAV’s control systems. A control system for the inner loop or plant is designed using a linear quadratic regulator. A guidance, navigation, and control (GNC) system is designed for the outer loop. The performance of the UAV is analyzed in Simulink and results are discussed. Recommendations for continuation of the project are made.

- Description:
- During the 2004 election season, conservative elites employed superior agenda-setting techniques and utilized the mass media to sway public opinion on sensitive social issues in hopes of generating electoral success for conservative candidates, particularly President George W. Bush. Conservative elites such as religious leaders, members of Congress, and the Bush/Cheney campaign team, developed frames to describe emotive social issues such as same-sex marriage and stem cell research, with the intention that the conservative viewpoint on these issues would resonate with the public and earn them votes in the election. They succeeded. The mass media in turn, accepted many of the conservative frames, and engaged in widespread transmission of them to the American public. As a result, the Republican Party enjoyed gains in Congress, and President Bush earned reelection. This thesis details what frames rose to prominence in the 2004 election season; namely the so-called "moral" frames regarding issues such as same-sex marriage and stem cell research. This paper will allow the reader to see how framing was used, what frames were utilized, and how conservatives were successful in converting this hard work into votes for their candidates. The nucleus of my argument resides in the second half of this paper; dealing with the problems behind our understanding, as a country, of the significance of the widespread conservative victories in 2004. My research shows that the national exit poll was a flawed measurement of public perception of the social and political issues at hand during the election. The print media failed in its attempt to paint a picture that would explain why many Americans chose "moral values" as the core issue that influenced their vote. Furthermore, the print press contributed to the "moral values" confusion after the election by providing electoral analysis using many of the same conservative frames from the election season. This paper will argue that, based on a faulty exit poll and a lack of electoral analysis by the print media, these "moral" issues were not the reasons for conservative victories in 2004, and the GOP's success in 2004 should not dictate a future change in electoral strategy by the Democratic and Republican parties.

- Description:
- Statement of Problem: There are limited resources which incorporate Spanish literature, dialectology, history and culture while strengthening vocabulary recognition and grammatical concepts. As a teacher of upper-level Spanish classes at the high school level, I found that my classes performed better when I included all of these concepts while simultaneously sharing my personal experiences from my travels with the CSUS Spanish Masters Program. Sources of Information: I researched my information from my Bachelor's program at DePaul University and the California State Graduate Spanish Master's Program, along with class materials already in use. Included in the project are difficult readings and concepts from a multitude of texts, compact discs and photographs; however, the information is then broken down into easier formats to aid understanding. Various reading strategies and practice activities are integrated throughout the text to clarify concepts. End Result: The project encompasses and illustrates the various aspects of the CSUS Spanish Master's Program. The Spain and Guatemala chapters are now part of the Spanish 4/5 curriculum at Ridgewood High School District 234 in Norridge, IL where I teach.
