Behavioral interventions for Black male students: A systematic review.

Educators use behavioral interventions to help children with behavioral concerns in school settings. Research on these interventions has shown that they can be effective in reducing concerning behaviors in students of different ages, educational settings, and behavioral topographies. However, Black male students continue to be disproportionately punished in schools.

The State of Teaching Philosophy in Behavior Analysis Training Programs.

Unlabelled: Professional organizations that oversee the accreditation of graduate training programs in behavior analysis have increased didactic training requirements for programs in various domains across the years. One of the areas in which this has occurred concerns training in philosophy within behavior science. Although content-hour requirements for didactic philosophical training have increased, the contents of this training are not prescribed and are left to the discretion of individual programs.

Emerging priorities and concerns in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic: qualitative and quantitative findings from a United States national survey.

Purpose: The present study examines how the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) experience affected values and priorities.

Methods: This cross-sectional study collected data between January and April 2023, from 1,197 individuals who are chronically ill or part of a general population sample. Using open-ended prompts and closed-ended questions, we investigated individuals' perceptions about COVID-19-induced changes in what quality of life means to them, what and who are important, life focus, and changes in norms and stressors.

Prenatal Diagnosis of a Right Atrial Appendage Aneurysm: Case Report and Review of the Literature.

 Congenital malformations of the right atrium are rare heart defects with only a few cases described prenatally. Early diagnosis of these anomalies is becoming increasingly important for proper follow-up and due to the possibility of serious complications such as supraventricular arrhythmia, thromboembolic events, and sudden death.  The atrial appendage aneurysm (AAA) is a dilatation of the atrial appendage.

Transgene removal using an in cis programmed homing endonuclease via single-strand annealing in the mosquito Aedes aegypti.

While gene drive strategies have been proposed to aid in the control of mosquito-borne diseases, additional genome engineering technologies may be required to establish a defined end-of-product-life timeline. We previously demonstrated that single-strand annealing (SSA) was sufficient to program the scarless elimination of a transgene while restoring a disrupted gene in the disease vector mosquito Aedes aegypti. Here, we extend these findings by establishing that complete transgene removal (four gene cassettes comprising ~8-kb) can be programmed in cis.
