"We been dying, and you got me on a call helping you stay alive": Black and Latinx youth organizers' experiences of racism in gun violence prevention organizations.

This study explored Black and Latinx youth organizers' experiences of racism within national gun violence prevention organizing spaces. Interview data were analyzed from 17 Black and/or Latinx youth (M  = 20.17, 47% women) across the United States who organized against gun violence.

Increasing Diversity Content in Graduate Coursework: A Pilot Investigation.

Unlabelled: Recent data indicate that BACB certificants are largely homogenous with respect to racial and gender identity. There is also evidence that many practitioners do not receive training in culturally responsive service delivery (CSRD). Applied behavior analysis (ABA) graduate programs would therefore benefit from incorporating training on diversity and CSRD.

Queerness is a Particular Liability: Feeling Rules in College and University LGBTQ Centers.

Organizational sociologists argue that informal and formal rules within workplaces function to increase employee productivity and effectiveness, but can also have negative emotional consequences. Feeling rules, which are the emotional norms that regulate interpersonal interactions within the workplace are not applied equally; white women and professionals of color are expected to display deference in the face of emotionally-charged experiences at work, while their counterparts are given more flexibility in how they could display anger or annoyance. Scholars note that feeling rules work to reproduce extant gendered and racial hierarchies when expectations regarding worker productivity, effectiveness and outcomes are restricted on the basis of social identities.

Decreasing nervous habits during public speaking: A component analysis of awareness training.

Awareness training can produce decreases in nervous habits during public speaking. A systematic replication of Montes et al. (2020) was conducted to evaluate the independent and additive effects of awareness training components (i.

Adjunctive dental therapies in caries-active children: Shifting the cariogenic salivary microbiome from dysbiosis towards non-cariogenic health.

Background: The oral microbiome is a complex assembly of microbial species, whose constituents can tilt the balance towards progression of oral disease or sustained health. Recently we identified sex-specific differences in the salivary microbiome contained within caries-active and caries-free children. In this study, we sought to ascertain if adjunctive dental therapies, including povidone iodine and chlorhexidine, were effective in shifting the cariogenic microbiome from dysbiosis to non-cariogenic health.

Apportioned primary and secondary organic aerosol during pollution events of DISCOVER-AQ Houston.

Understanding the drivers for high ozone (O) and atmospheric particulate matter (PM) concentrations is a pressing issue in urban air quality, as this understanding informs decisions for control and mitigation of these key pollutants. The Houston, TX metropolitan area is an ideal location for studying the intersection between O and atmospheric secondary organic carbon (SOC) production due to the diversity of source types (urban, industrial, and biogenic) and the on- and off-shore cycling of air masses over Galveston Bay, TX. Detailed characterization of filter-based samples collected during Deriving Information on Surface Conditions from Column and VERtically Resolved Observations Relevant to Air Quality (DISCOVER-AQ) Houston field experiment in September 2013 were used to investigate sources and composition of organic carbon (OC) and potential relationships between daily maximum 8 h average O and PM.

Multiple brain abscesses due to Nocardia spp. in an immunocompetent patient.

The infection by Nocardia spp is not common in immunocompetent patients. The empirical antimicrobial treatment directed by anatomical regions does not contemplate the particularities of the germ and the microbiological analysis is necessary for the specific treatment. We present the case of a previously healthy and immunocompetent patient, without known risk factors for Nocardia spp.

Barriers to the Use of Mobile Health in Improving Health Outcomes in Developing Countries: Systematic Review.

Background: The use of mobile health (mHealth) technologies to improve population-level health outcomes around the world has surged in the last decade. Research supports the use of mHealth apps to improve health outcomes such as maternal and infant mortality, treatment adherence, immunization rates, and prevention of communicable diseases. However, developing countries face significant barriers to successfully implement, sustain, and expand mHealth initiatives to improve the health of vulnerable populations.

Sex-specific differences in the salivary microbiome of caries-active children.

: Dental caries is a chronic disease affecting young children and has multi-factorial risk factors. The purpose of this work was to identify sex-specific differences in the salivary microbiota within caries-active children. : Saliva specimens were collected from 85 children (boys: 41; girls: 44) between the ages of 2-12 years.

Evaluation of ceftriaxone prescriptions in the emergency department of a university hospital: an urgent need for improvement and alternative therapy.

To evaluate the relevance of ceftriaxone prescriptions in an emergency department of a university hospital and suggest whenever possible an antibiotic alternative with a lower ecological impact. All ceftriaxone prescriptions in the first complete week of each month during the year 2016, in the emergency department of the Grenoble university hospital, have been analyzed by an IDS referent in antibiotic prescriptions. Ceftriaxone prescription was considered appropriate if justified (an antibiotic must be used), relevant (ceftriaxone is a good choice), and adapted (in terms of dose, route, and period of administration), regardless of a potential antibiotic association, consistent with international recommendations.

Characterization of proteolytic activities during intestinal regeneration of the sea cucumber, Holothuria glaberrima.

Proteolysis carried out by different proteases control cellular processes during development and regeneration. Here we investigated the function of the proteasome and other proteases in the process of intestinal regeneration using as a model the sea cucumber Holothuria glaberrima. This echinoderm possesses the ability to regenerate its viscera after a process of evisceration.
