Individuals’ empathic responses to exonerees’ emotional and physical suffering
(2022-06-01)In exploring avenues to combat the stigma exonerees experience, a study was conducted to examine whether exposure to an exoneree’s suffering increases empathy and helping, and whether different empathic responses (e.g., ... -
Indo-Caribbean immigrants perceptions of dating abuse
(2016-04-01)Diverse cultures as well as social and political conditions work in various ways to alter the experiences of dating abuse among divergent populations. Utilizing an Intersectionality paradigm, I have attempted to understand ... -
Influence of dietary interventions on the immune system: an investigation of the impact of omega-3 fatty acids, dietary fermentable materials and high energy diets
(2016-12-01)Dietary interventions vary in ability to influence immune activity. Separate investigations were conducted to determine the immune impact of omega-3 fatty acids, dietary fermentable materials (DFM) and high energy (HE) ... -
Influence of forced convection on sessile droplet evaporation
(2019-04-01)Evaporation is a phase change process with potential for achieving large heat transfer rates under high air temperatures due to the latent heat of vaporization. Bioin-spired artificial perspiration systems can leverage the ... -
The influence of general cognitive training on sport-specific performance in wheelchair basketball
(2018-08-01)There has been tremendous growth of sport-science literature completed on able-bodied or mainstream athletes. However, research completed on the development of perceptual-cognitive skills on athletes with physical disabilities ... -
Influence of sinusoidal motion on Stirling engines
(2018-12-01)Stirling engines have a high potential to produce renewable energy due to their ability to use a wide range of sustainable heat sources and their high theoretical efficiencies. They have not yet achieved widespread use and ... -
The influence of surface tension on F2-Bubble Morphology at detachment from carbon electrodes in KF-2HF molten fluoride salt
(2020-04-01)Molecular F2 and H2-bubbles were generated electrochemically on amorphous carbon electrodes in KF-2HF molten salt to study the effect of surface tension (ϒ) on the profile of a bubble. F2 is used for the purification and ... -
Influencing motivation to empathize in individuals with heightened psychopathic traits: neural and behavioural assessment of empathizing with others
(2021-08-01)Central to psychopathy is a purported lack of empathy for others. However, recent literature suggests that the decreased empathic responses of psychopathic individuals may be a result of aberrant motivations, rather than ... -
Informing the creation of an evidence-based app for daily physical activity in schools
(2019-12-01)It has been well document that physical activity has positive effects on physical health and well-being, as well as academic performance. In contrast, sedentary behaviour has been associated with negative health implications, ... -
