Cultural Adaptation of an Educator Social-Emotional Learning Program to Support Indigenous Students.

Supporting Indigenous students' social-emotional learning (SEL) is important given the systemic impact of colonialism that has contributed to their higher mental health and academic disparities compared to White students. One way to promote SEL is through professional development for educators, yet there has been little research on the development of SEL programs that are culturally responsive to Indigenous people and contexts. The purpose of this study is to highlight the of culturally adapting a social-emotional program, (ENGAGE), for educators at a school located in a tribal nation in the Rocky Mountain region.

Court Operations during the COVID-19 Pandemic.

This paper reviews the distinct nature of the COVID-19 pandemic and examines the resultant court responses and recommendations disseminated by various entities that support courts. Specifically, we contextualize the current environment the present pandemic has created by considering how it compares to the most-recent previous pandemics. We then review guidelines disseminated to the courts and the modifications and innovations implemented by the courts in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Quality and Safety in Aged Care Virtual Issue: What Australian research published in the Australasian Journal on Ageing tells us.

Objective: To review studies published in the Australasian Journal on Ageing (AJA) about the aged care workforce, and to identify influences on quality of care and potential policy directions.

Methods: Articles in the AJA on the aged care workforce published from 2009 to 2018 were identified, grouped into themes and rated for quality.

Results: Twenty-eight articles were identified.

Mechanistic Exploitation of a Self-Repairing, Blocked Proton Transfer Pathway in an O-Tolerant [NiFe]-Hydrogenase.

Catalytic long-range proton transfer in [NiFe]-hydrogenases has long been associated with a highly conserved glutamate (E) situated within 4 Å of the active site. Substituting for glutamine (Q) in the O-tolerant [NiFe]-hydrogenase-1 from Escherichia coli produces a variant (E28Q) with unique properties that have been investigated using protein film electrochemistry, protein film infrared electrochemistry, and X-ray crystallography. At pH 7 and moderate potential, E28Q displays approximately 1% of the activity of the native enzyme, high enough to allow detailed infrared measurements under steady-state conditions.
