    COMPARISON OF NEONATAL OUTCOMES IN MATERNAL USERS AND NON-USERS OF HERBAL SUPPLEMENTS A Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Holly A Larson, B.S. ***** The Ohio State University 2008 Master‟s Examination Committee: Dr. Maureen Geraghty, Advisor Approved by Annette Haban Bartz ______________________________ Dr. Christopher A. Taylor Advisor Graduate Program in Allied Medical Professions COMPARISON OF NEONATAL OUTCOMES IN MATERNAL USERS AND NON-USERS OF HERBAL SUPPLEMENTS By Holly A. Larson, M.S. The Ohio State University, 2008 Dr. Maureen Geraghty, Advisor This pilot study was a retrospective chart review. The purposes of this study were to describe the prevalence herbal supplement use, to identify characteristics linked to increased herbal supplement use and, to identify adverse outcomes linked to herbal supplement use. Rate of use in the study sample of 2136 charts was 1.1% and identified 17 supplements. The most common supplements identified were teas. Characteristics of the neonates and controls were analyzed as appropriate and revealed no statistical significance. Characteristics of the mothers also revealed no statistical difference. There was a statistically significant difference between herbal users and herbal non-users and the trimester prenatal care began. Neonatal outcomes were statistically different on two measures. Further study is needed to be able to make recommendations regarding safety and efficacy of herbal supplements as well as to be able to better understand motives for choosing to use them. ii Dedicated to the Mama and the Daddy Bears iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to my advisor, Dr.

  • Tea Practices in Mongolia a Field of Female Power and Gendered Meanings
    Gaby Bamana University of Wales Tea Practices in Mongolia A Field of Female Power and Gendered Meanings This article provides a description and analysis of tea practices in Mongolia that disclose features of female power and gendered meanings relevant in social and cultural processes. I suggest that women’s gendered experiences generate a differentiated power that they engage in social actions. Moreover, in tea practices women invoke meanings that are also differentiated by their gendered experience and the powerful position of meaning construction. Female power, female identity, and gendered meanings are distinctive in the complex whole of cultural and social processes in Mongolia. This article con- tributes to the understudied field of tea practices in a country that does not grow tea, yet whose inhabitants have turned this commodity into an icon of social and cultural processes in everyday life. keywords: female power—gendered meanings—tea practices—Mongolia— female identity Asian Ethnology Volume 74, Number 1 • 2015, 193–214 © Nanzan Institute for Religion and Culture t the time this research was conducted, salty milk tea (süütei tsai; сүүтэй A цай) consumption was part of everyday life in Mongolia.1 Tea was an ordi- nary beverage whose most popular cultural relevance appeared to be the expres- sion of hospitality to guests and visitors. In this article, I endeavor to go beyond this commonplace knowledge and offer a careful observation and analysis of social practices—that I identify as tea practices—which use tea as a dominant symbol. In tea practices, people (women in most cases) construct and/or reappropri- ate the meaning of their gendered identity in social networks of power.

  • Re(Art)Iculating Empowerment: Cooperative Explorations with Community Development Workers in Pakistan
    RE(ART)ICULATING EMPOWERMENT: COOPERATIVE EXPLORATIONS WITH COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT WORKERS IN PAKISTAN by Shama Dossa A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Adult Education and Counselling Psychology Ontario Institute for Studies in Education of the University of Toronto © Copyright by Shama Dossa (2011) RE(ART)ICULATING EMPOWERMENT: COOPERATIVE EXPLORATIONS WITH COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT WORKERS IN PAKISTAN Doctor of Philosophy, 2011 Shama Dossa Graduate Department of Adult Education and Counselling Psychology University of Toronto Abstract Situated in the postcolonial modernizing discourse of development, many empowerment narratives tend to pre-identify, pre-construct and categorize community development workers/ mobilizers as empowered bodies, catalysts, and change agents. These bodies are expected to and are assumed will facilitate a transformation in oppressed peoples’ self image and belief’s about their rights and capabilities. Although feminist academics/activists have been critical of imperialist, neo-liberal and politico-religious co-optations of understandings of empowerment, limited attention seems to have been paid to the material effects of empowerment narratives on the lives of these community development workers. Nor does there appear to be sufficient analysis into how local community development workers/mobilizers who find themselves in precarious positions of employment, engage with these narratives. Provided with guidelines based on project objectives and

  • The Bond Between Boba and Asian American Youth in San José, Califor
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles “Wanna Get Boba?”: The Bond Between Boba and Asian American Youth in San José, California A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in Asian American Studies by Talitha Angelica Acaylar Trazo 2020 © Copyright by Talitha Angelica Acaylar Trazo 2020 ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS “Wanna Get Boba?”: The Bond Between Boba and Asian American Youth in San José, California by Talitha Angelica Acaylar Trazo Master of Arts in Asian American Studies University of California, Los Angeles 2020 Professor Victor Bascara, Chair The tenth largest city in the United States with a population of over 1 million, San José, California resides on the southernmost edge of the Silicon Valley. Though high-tech narratives often subsume this region, a closer examination of San José’s (sub)urban landscape reveals the presence of over 100 boba shops and their multiethnic community of local patrons. Boba, a milk tea beverage which originated in Taiwan in the 1980s, made its U.S. debut in the late 1990s when Taiwanese American entrepreneurs aimed to emulate Taiwan’s unique boba shop experience in their American hometowns. Over the past 20 years, boba within the United States has morphed into a distinctly Asian American cultural phenomenon, which I argue makes boba a unique lens by which to examine Asian American youth culture. For this ethnographic study, I conducted and analyzed 17 interviews and 156 survey responses from Bay Area-based young adults (between the ages of 18 and 40) with varying degrees of familiarity with San José boba ii shops: from the occasional boba drinker to what some may call the “boba addict.” I opened the survey to all racial groups but focused my data analysis on those who self-identified as Asian American.

  • Analysis of Tea Culture in Myanmar Society: Practices of Tea Consumption in Upper Myanmar
    Analysis of Tea Culture in Myanmar Society: Practices of Tea Consumption in Upper Myanmar Lei Shwe Sin Myint1 Abstract Tea leaves, in many forms, are an important part of Myanmar society. Apart from being a favorite food, they possess metaphorical and symbolic value in the spiritual, social and religious parts of Myanmar daily life. There are many types of tea leaves in Myanmar. They are black tea, dried tea and fermented tea. Black tea is mostly used to make tea at tea shops. Dried tea is drunk plain with hot water. Fermented tea is considered a delicacy and is offered as gifts to the Buddha and the Sangha during religious donations and events and is used as offerings to Nat (spirits) as well. Fermented tea salad is widely consumed all around Myanmar. The main purpose of this paper is to analyze how tea is involved in Myanmar society. The objectives of the research are to identify the daily use of tea as a human utility, to analyze the effects in Myanmar society and the perceived benefits of the Myanmar tea leaf in the social, economic and religious aspects of Myanmar society. The methodology will be a qualitative approach based upon direct observations, in-depth interviews, and key-informant interviews. According to the findings of the research, tea is used daily in Myanmar society, in its beliefs, traditions, ceremonies and festivals. Tea is an inanimate substance for humans, but it is used by living organisms faithfully. Because of the long adhered tea-consuming traditions, tea has become associated with improving friendships, trust building and conflict resolution.
