Starting with I: Combating Anti-Blackness in Libraries.

When millions saw footage of George Floyd's murder by police during the COVID-19 pandemic where marginalized groups had higher death rates, increased awareness and action arose because Black people are treated differently in the United States. Many libraries subsequently created statements and committees to commit to reduce inequities in libraries; however, Black bodies are still being harmed. Therefore, this editorial details the concept and provides concrete steps for making change.

The effects of visual impairment on motor imagery in children and adolescents.

Background: While the development of motor imagery (MI) has been extensively studied in sighted children, it is not clear how children with different severities of visual impairment (VI) represent motor actions by using the motor representations constructed through the remaining intact senses, especially touch.

Aims: Mental chronometry and generation/manipulation of MI were examined in children with and without VI.

Methods And Procedures: Participants included 64 youth with and without VI (33 without visual impairments, 14 moderate-to-severe, and 17 blind).

#MeToo: Associations of educational institution religious affiliation with sexual health services and rates of sexual assault.

To explore the association of educational institution religious affiliation with provision of sexual health services and rates of sexual violence. Analysis of 500 US college/university websites; secondary data obtained from National Center for Education Statistics (NCES). Content analysis documented institutional religious affiliation and availability of sexual health services.

Species identity matters when interpreting trophic markers in aquatic food webs.

In aquatic systems, food web linkages are often assessed using diet contents, stable isotope ratios, and, increasingly, fatty acid composition of organisms. Some correlations between different trophic metrics are assumed to be well-supported; for example, particular stable isotope ratios and fatty acids seem to reflect reliance on benthic or pelagic energy pathways. However, understanding whether the assumed correlations between different trophic metrics are coherent and consistent across species represents a key step toward their effective use in food web studies.

Thiamine Levels in Muscle and Eggs of Adult Pacific Salmon from the Fraser River, British Columbia.

Multiple species and stocks of Pacific salmon Oncorhynchus spp. have experienced large declines in the number of returning adults over a wide region of the Pacific Northwest due to poor marine survival (low smolt-to-adult survival rates). One possible explanation for reduced survival is thiamine deficiency.

Pond bank access as an approach for managing toxic cyanobacteria in beef cattle pasture drinking water ponds.

Forty-one livestock drinking water ponds in Alabama beef cattle pastures during were surveyed during the late summer to generally understand water quality patterns in these important water resources. Since livestock drinking water ponds are prone to excess nutrients that typically lead to eutrophication, which can promote blooms of toxigenic phytoplankton such as cyanobacteria, we also assessed the threat of exposure to the hepatotoxin, microcystin. Eighty percent of the ponds studied contained measurable microcystin, while three of these ponds had concentrations above human drinking water thresholds set by the US Environmental Protection Agency (i.

Beliefs about physical activity and sedentary behaviors of adults with visual impairments.

Background: When exploring reasons why individuals with visual impairments (VI) may or may not engage in physical activity (PA) or sedentary behaviors (SB), theoretically grounded research on the determinants of these behaviors is scarce.

Objective/hypothesis: Situated in the theory of planned behavior (TpB), the purposes of this study were to: (a) develop a theoretically-sound scale, Beliefs about Physical and Sedentary Behaviors-Visual Impairment (BAPS-VI), to determine if the constructs of TpB are useful in predicting PA and SBs of adults with VI; (b) analyze their beliefs about PA and SBs; and (c) determine which TpB constructs are the best predictors of PA behaviors.

Methods: Data were collected from adults with VI (n = 209, 65.

Antibody-mediated inhibition of EGFR reduces phosphate excretion and induces hyperphosphatemia and mild hypomagnesemia in mice.

Monoclonal antibody therapies targeting the EGF receptor (EGFR) frequently result in hypomagnesemia in human patients. In contrast, EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors do not affect Mg balance in patients and only have a mild effect on Mg homeostasis in rodents at elevated doses. EGF has also been shown to affect phosphate (P) transport in rat and rabbit proximal convoluted tubules (PCT), but evidence from studies targeting EGFR and looking at P excretion in whole animals is still missing.

Flexible work arrangements, job satisfaction, and turnover intentions: the mediating role of work-to-family enrichment.

The authors examined the relation between the availability of 2 popular types of flexible work arrangements (i.e., flextime and compressed workweek) and work-to-family enrichment and, in turn, the relation between work-to-family enrichment and (a) job satisfaction and (b) turnover intentions.

Using standards to improve middle school students' accuracy at evaluating the quality of their recall.

When recalling key term definitions from class materials, students may recall entirely incorrect definitions, yet will often claim that these commission errors are entirely correct; that is, they are overconfident in the quality of their recall responses. We investigated whether this overconfidence could be reduced by providing various standards to middle school students as they evaluated their recall responses. Students studied key term definitions, attempted to recall each one, and then were asked to score the quality of their recall.
