The racial economy of psychological care: Professionalism, social justice, and political action during american psychology's communitarian moment.

The 1960s and 1970s saw the overt "politicization" of the American Psychological Association as an organization. Politics in this context carried a dual meaning referring to both political lobbying to promote the interests of psychology as a health profession and grassroots political action to advance social justice causes. In the years between the passage of the Community Mental Health Act (1963) and the Vail Conference on levels and patterns of professional training in psychology (1973), these two forms of politics were intertwined.

Lethal and sublethal impacts of membrane-fed ivermectin are concentration dependent in Anopheles coluzzii.

Background: Ivermectin is a well-tolerated anthelminthic drug with wide clinical and veterinary applications. It also has lethal and sublethal effects on mosquitoes. Mass drug administration with ivermectin has therefore been suggested as an innovative vector control tool in efforts to curb emerging insecticide resistance and reduce residual malaria transition.

The Effect of Waiting for a Primary Total Hip Arthroplasty on the Overall Hip Function and Quality of Life.

Background: The primary aim was to determine whether time spent awaiting primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) affects patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) using the Oxford Hip score, Harris Hip Score, and visual analogue scale (VAS) pain. The secondary aim was to assess whether patients have worsening HRQoL, while awaiting THA using the European Quality of Life Five Dimension (EQ-5D) index and EQ-5D health VAS.

Methods: This was a single center cross-sectional study of 190 patients awaiting THA.

Fire influences ant diversity by modifying vegetation structure in an Australian tropical savanna.

Fire is a dominant ecological force shaping many faunal communities globally. Fire affects fauna either directly, such as by killing individuals, or indirectly, such as by modifying vegetation structure. Vegetation structure itself also modulates fire frequency and intensity.

"Angela's psych squad": Black psychology against the American carceral state in the 1970s.

This article examines the duality of the Black psychology movement in the United States as both a distinctly American and a postcolonial approach to mental health. The Westside Community Mental Health Center in San Francisco served as the organizational hub for the Association for Black Psychologists (ABPsi) in the 1970s. The Westside clinicians understood forensic psychology as a kind of preventative care as California, more so than any other state, was seduced by the eugenic dream of human improvement through therapeutic interventions in schools and prisons intended to correct the wayward deviant.

Towards precision ecology: Relationships of multiple sampling methods quantifying abundance for comparisons among studies.

Because different sampling techniques will provide different abundance values, it is currently difficult to compare results among many studies to form holistic understandings of how abundance influences ant ecology. Using three sampling methods in the same location we found pitfall traps best confirmed yellow crazy ant A. gracilipes presence recording the fewest zero values (9.

Measurement Techniques for Leg Length Discrepancy in Total Hip Arthroplasty: A Systematic Review of Reliability and Validity.

Background: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) carries a substantial litigative burden. THA may introduce leg length discrepancy (LLD), necessitating a valid and reliable technique for LLD measurement. This study investigates the reliability and validity of techniques quantitively measuring LLD in both pre- and post-THA.

A Call for Health Education Specialists: Addressing Racism Through an Ecological Framework.

In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, racism has emerged as a priority area for the public health community. Due to systemic racism, persons of color have faced decades of inequities in education, health care, employment, transportation, housing, and other realms. These inequities have resulted in numerous disparities in health status and most recently have manifested in the disproportionate number of deaths from COVID-19 and inadequate access to COVID-19 vaccines among persons of color.

Interdisciplinary interprofessional education using an online learning environment called values exchange: A qualitative investigation.

Introduction: Interprofessional education (IPE) is implemented throughout the curricula of student healthcare professions as it is understood to provide positive impact on patient outcomes in the clinical environment. There are different methods to provide IPE such as through online learning or traditional face-to-face methods. However, there is a lack of research surrounding the use of Online Learning Environments (OLEs) to teach IPE.

Understanding hip pathology in ballet dancers.

Purpose: The literature on hip injuries in ballet dancers was systematically evaluated to answer (1) whether the prevalence of morphological abnormalities and pathology of hip injuries in dancers differs from the general population (2) if there are any specific risk factors which contribute to a higher rate of hip injury and (3) what are the outcomes of primary and secondary intervention strategies.

Methods: A systematic literature search of Medline, EMBASE and the Cochrane Library was undertaken for all literature relating to hip injuries in ballet dancers using the PRISMA guidelines. Reference lists were also searched for relevant literature.

Exportin Crm1 is important for Swi6 nuclear shuttling and MBF transcription activation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Background: Swi6 acts as a transcription factor in budding yeast, functioning in two different heterodimeric complexes, SBF and MBF, that activate the expression of distinct but overlapping sets of genes. Swi6 undergoes regulated changes in nucleocytoplasmic localization throughout the cell cycle that correlate with changes in gene expression. This study investigates how nucleocytoplasmic transport by multiple transport factors may influence specific Swi6 activities.
