Creating a Public Service Announcement as a Teaching Strategy to Advocate for Populations at Risk due to Climate Change.

The 2022 National League for Nursing Vision Statement, Climate Change and Health, identified gaps in nursing education regarding the issue of climate change and its impact on at-risk populations. Our innovative teaching strategy requires nursing students to use clinical judgment to synthesize ideas and communicate the health risks of climate change for population at risk in a brief video or public service announcement. This teaching strategy can prepare nursing students to advocate for population health.

Oleaginous Yeast Biology Elucidated With Comparative Transcriptomics.

Extremophilic yeasts have favorable metabolic and tolerance traits for biomanufacturing- like lipid biosynthesis, flavinogenesis, and halotolerance - yet the connection between these favorable phenotypes and strain genotype is not well understood. To this end, this study compares the phenotypes and gene expression patterns of biotechnologically relevant yeasts Yarrowia lipolytica, Debaryomyces hansenii, and Debaryomyces subglobosus grown under nitrogen starvation, iron starvation, and salt stress. To analyze the large data set across species and conditions, two approaches were used: a "network-first" approach where a generalized metabolic network serves as a scaffold for mapping genes and a "cluster-first" approach where unsupervised machine learning co-expression analysis clusters genes.

The Effects of Nocturnal Hypoxemia on Cognitive Performance in Andean Highlanders.

Many Andean highlanders exposed to chronic hypoxemia are susceptible to excessive erythrocytosis (EE) and chronic mountain sickness (CMS). Nocturnal hypoxemia is more marked than diurnal hypoxemia and includes sustained and intermittent components. The potential for cognitive impairments related to nocturnal hypoxemia in this population has not been extensively studied, but improved understanding may provide opportunities for the prevention of long-term effects of EE and CMS.

Evidence of a limited relationship between reading fluency and reading comprehension of academic language.

This study examined the relationship between reading fluency and reading comprehension of grade-level academic language. The CUBED Narrative Language Measures: Reading (NLM:R) subtest was used to assess the reading fluency and reading comprehension performance of 605 second- and third-grade students. The Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) reading assessment was also used to assess students' reading comprehension.
