Wiggles, Plateaus, and Precision
Achieving precise archaeological chronologies in island environments has long been hindered by plateaus and wiggles in the radiocarbon calibration curve. This study shows how to overcome these temporal bottlenecks by integrating Bayesian principles with high-precision sample selection, and demonstrates how the interpretation of archaeological context affects the results. Using two iconic Aotearoa, New Zealand sites previously dated over 30 years …
Adverse childhood experiences affect health outcomes for adults in North Dakota
Introduction: Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) have been linked to chronic health conditions, at-risk behaviors, and reduced quality and length of life. Public health interventions targeting childhood trauma require an investigation of overall prevalence of ACEs and associations with outcomes and behaviors. Methods: We created an ACE score using aggregated North Dakota (ND) Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) data from 2019 to …
Use of telehealth did not mitigate persistent disparities in prenatal care access among American Indian women in North Dakota
BACKGROUND: In North Dakota (ND), American Indian (AI) women face a persistent disparity in prenatal care (PNC) access compared to other women. During the COVID pandemic, the expansion of telehealth emerged as a potential solution to disparate access to health care. We examined whether telehealth use mitigated disparities in PNC in ND. METHODS: Data were drawn from the 2020 to 2021 ND Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (weighted n = 10,1…
Predictors of self-reported hypertension among women of reproductive age in North Dakota
There is evidence that frequent mental distress and disparities in healthcare access or utilization are predictors of hypertension among women of reproductive age in North Dakota. Further research is warranted to determine whether improved mental health can reduce the risk of hypertension in this population. Public health officials may consider promoting hypertension awareness and control programs in areas with limited access to healthcare profes…

Advancing understanding of learning experience design
We report findings from an eDelphi study that aimed to explore 16 expert panelists’ perspectives regarding the key attributes of learning experience design (LXD) as it relates to the following: design, disciplines, methods, and theory. Findings suggest consensus was reached regarding LXD’s focus on learner-centrism and incorporating human-centered design practices to design learning environments. LXD practitioners adapt methods and theories from …
Geographic disparities and temporal changes of Covid-19 hospitalization risks in North Dakota
Background: Although the burden of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been different across communities in the US, little is known about the disparities in COVID-19 burden in North Dakota (ND) and yet this information is important for guiding planning and provision of health services. Therefore, the objective of this study was to identify geographic disparities of COVID-19 hospitalization risks in ND. Methods: Data on COVID-19 hospitaliz…
Exploring the Unmet Needs of Young Adults with Stroke in Australia
The post-stroke needs of young adults with stroke are not being met, as most resources are tailored to older people with stroke. This includes technology-based applications, which are being used more frequently in stroke rehabilitation. There is limited data on technology usage to support the unique needs of young adults with stroke in Australia. This study aimed to explore the unmet needs of young adults aged 18-30 years with stroke and ascertai…
Examining the Role of Interpersonal Violence in Racial Disparities in Breastfeeding in North Dakota (ND PRAMS 2017–2019)
Interpersonal violence does not explain the disparity in breastfeeding in ND. Considering cultural ties to the tradition of breastfeeding and the role of colonization may provide a better understanding of breastfeeding among AI populations
Geographic disparities and temporal changes of Covid-19 incidence risks in North Dakota, United States
Geographic disparities in COVID incidence risks exist in North Dakota with high-risk clusters being identified in the rural central and southwest parts of the state. These findings are useful for guiding intervention strategies by identifying high risk communities so that resources for disease control can be better allocated to communities in need based on empirical evidence. Future studies will investigate predictors of the identified disparitie…
Measuring interdisciplinarity in the context of sustainability research projects toward capacity building in higher education
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to develop an analytical framework toward facilitating the quantitative measurement of interdisciplinary understanding regarding sustainable energy systems with an application in the area of capacity-building projects in higher education. Design/methodology/approach The analytical framework is developed using the portfolio representation measurement approach in combination with a survey questionnaire. The subs…

Learning experience design of an mHealth self-management intervention for adolescents with type 1 diabetes
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a lifelong and chronic condition that can cause severely compromised health. The T1D treatment regimen is complex, and is a particular challenge for adolescents, who frequently experience a number of treatment adherence barriers (e.g., forgetfulness, planning and organizational challenges, stress). Diabetes Journey is a gamified mHealth program designed to improve T1D self-management through a specific focus on decreasing…

Taking a Stand for Office-Based Workers' Mental Health
There is evidence that movement-based microbreaks can improve the cardiovascular health of desk-based employees, but their effect on mood states is yet to be investigated. As daily work tasks can potentially result in the loss of physical and psychological resources, the objective of this study was to measure the effect of movement microbreaks during formal work time on mood states. In a randomised-controlled pilot study with repeated measures (b…

Eco-dialogical learning and translanguaging in open-ended 3D virtual learning environments
The purpose of this research was to explore the relationships between design, learning, and translanguaging in a 3D collaborative virtual learning environment for adolescent learners of Chinese and English. We designed an open-ended space congruent with ecological and dialogical perspectives on second language acquisition. In such a space, sense-making is contingent on the relational dynamics of place, activities, and artefacts. These spaces enco…
Leveraging open source software and design based research principles for development of a 3D virtual learning environment
Design based research (DBR) has been acknowledged as a productive approach for advancing educational technology. Coincidentally, open source software has been found to be a good fit for implementing design based research. This report presents a case study of a software project using a design-based research approach and free/open source software. The project, iSocial, is developing a 3D virtual environment for youth with autism spectrum disorders …
