Providing evidence-based practice to ethnically diverse youths: examples from the Cognitive Behavioral Intervention for Trauma in Schools (CBITS) program.

At first glance, implementing evidence-based treatments for ethnically diverse youth may appear to raise some concerns. Do manualized treatments work for the diverse youth we see in our communities? Should clinicians only use culturally-specific treatments? Unfortunately, the literature is not definitive. Several studies have found that tailoring interventions for specific populations can increase their effectiveness1–5 while others have found that cultural adaptations of an intervention may actually dilute the effectiveness of the original treatment even though retention is improved.6 What appears to be important is to strike a balance between fidelity to evidence-based treatment and culturally-informed care. This paper provides illustrations from a school-community-academic partnership’s dissemination of the Cognitive-Behavioral Intervention for Trauma in Schools7 program to ethnically diverse communities nationwide. CBITS is an evidence-based intervention program initially developed for ethnic minority and immigrant youth exposed to trauma. CBITS was created to decrease the negative effects of trauma exposure in an ethnically and linguistically diverse group of primarily low-income children while being delivered in the real-world setting of schools. 8, 9 In a randomized controlled study, Mexican and Central American youth showed significant reduction in post-traumatic stress and depressive symptoms.10, 11 Similar positive effects have been found in dissemination evaluations of CBITS in other communities12, including urban African American13, Native American14, and rural communities.15 Although our CBITS partnership recommends program evaluations, we recognize that it is not always feasible for each community to do systematic evaluation for each adaptation or modification of CBITS. In delivering CBITS, we have confronted common issues that arise when trying to deliver an evidence-based intervention to youth from a broad range of ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds. We present several examples of how we use community partnerships throughout all phases of dissemination, from program development, pre-implementation planning, to delivery of CBITS groups (see Figure 1). Community partnerships refer to collaboration between key stakeholders from the local school and its surrounding community including school personnel, parents, community organizations, faith-based groups, clinicians and researchers. This approach addresses contextual and cultural issues at every stage so that CBITS is tailored for each unique community. We have found this to be a promising model for reaching diverse and underserved populations and increasing community engagement.8, 16 Figure 1 Model for Using Community Partnerships to Provide Culturally-Sensitive Evidence-Based Treatment
Evaluation for safety of antioxidant chemopreventive agents.

Antioxidants are considered as the most promising chemopreventive agents against various human cancers. However, some antioxidants play paradoxical roles, acting as "double-edged sword. " A primary property of effective and acceptable chemopreventive agents should be freedom from toxic effects in healthy population. Miscarriage of the intervention by beta-carotene made us realize the necessity for evaluation of safety before recommending use of antioxidant supplements for chemoprevention. We have evaluated the safety of antioxidants on the basis of reactivity with DNA. Our results revealed that phytic acid, luteolin, and retinoic acid did not cause DNA damage under the experimental condition. Furthermore, phytic acid inhibited the formation of 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine, an indicator of oxidative DNA damage, in cultured cells treated with a H(2)O(2)-generating system. Thus, it is expected that these chemopreventive agents can safely protect humans against cancer. On the other hand, some chemopreventive agents with prooxidant properties (alpha-tocopherol, quercetin, catechins, isothiocyanates, N-acetylcysteine) caused DNA damage via generation of reactive oxygen species in the presence of metal ions and endogenous reductants under some circumstances. Furthermore, other chemopreventive agents (beta-carotene, genistein, daidzein, propyl gallate, curcumin) exerted prooxidant properties after metabolic activation. Therefore, further studies on safety should be required when antioxidants are used for cancer prevention.
GEOGRAPHIC PROTEIN VARIATION AND DIVERGENCE IN POPULATIONS OF THE SALAMANDER PLETHODON CINEREUS

The red-backed salamander Plethodon cinereus (Green) is the most widely distributed member of a group in which morphological divergence is limited. There are so few diagnostic characters for many species pairs that the possibility of undescribed cryptic species must be considered seriously. In addition, the number of external characters for evaluating intraspecific differentiation is very small. Although the distribution of P. cinereus and the available morphological evidence indicate sufficient complexity to merit further study, thus far there has been no satisfactory resolution of the evolutionary relationships among its populations. We have sought additional information in an electrophoretic examination of proteins. In the northeastern United States and in Canada P. cinereus is widely and essentially continuously distributed; for convenience we shall refer to the taxon so defined as continuous cinereus. More than threequarters of its present distribution is territory that until recently was glaciated and uninhabitable. The frequencies of the striped and unstriped color morphs and the number of trunk vertebrae have been considered in studies of geographic variation (Highton, 1962; Williams, Highton, and Cooper, 1968). In addition, the southern portion of its distribution is divided into five apparently isolated fragments (Fig. 1): collectively they will be termed the southern isolates and individually identified as in Table 1. (The Southern Appalachian isolate of P. cinereus has not previously been recognized although Highton's maps [1972:
Cloning and expression in Escherichia coli of the structural gene coding for the monomeric protein of the S layer of Thermus thermophilus HB8

The gene coding for the 100 kDa monomeric protein (P100) of the S layer of Thermus thermophilus HB8 has been cloned in the Escherichia coli plasmid vector pUC9. Recombinant plasmids were selected by colony screening with anti-P100 rabbit antiserum. The gene, named slpA (for surface layer protein A), was identified in a bacterial clone harboring a hybrid plasmid, pMF4, with a 5.8-kbp insert. This plasmid consistently expressed a protein specifically recognized by anti-P100 antiserum. Expression was apparently independent of Plac, indicating that the promoter for P100 is functional in E. coli. Most E. coli strains transformed with plasmids containing the 5.8-kbp insert cloned in pMF4 expressed two proteins with apparent masses of 52 and 50 kDa, which were strongly recognized by anti-P100 antiserum in Western immunoblots. The 52-kDa fragment could be overproduced, and the sequence of the N-terminal undecapeptide, determined by microsequencing, indicated that it could correspond to the N-terminal domain of P100. Expression of slpA in lon mutants of E. coli led to accumulation of a protein indistinguishable from native P100, indicating that the complete gene was cloned and that the product of lon, protease La, was involved in proteolytic degradation of P100 synthesized in E. coli.

Parabolic Catalan numbers count flagged Schur functions and their appearances as type A Demazure characters (key polynomials)

Fix an integer partition lambda that has no more than n parts. Let beta be a weakly increasing n-tuple with entries from {1,. ,n}. The flagged Schur function indexed by lambda and beta is a polynomial generating function in x_1, . , x_n for certain semistandard tableaux of shape lambda. Let pi be an n-permutation. The type A Demazure character (key polynomial, Demazure polynomial) indexed by lambda and pi is another such polynomial generating function. Reiner and Shimozono and then Postnikov and Stanley studied coincidences between these two families of polynomials. Here their results are sharpened by the specification of unique representatives for the equivalence classes of indexes for both families of polynomials, extended by the consideration of more general beta, and deepened by proving that the polynomial coincidences also hold at the level of the underlying tableau sets. Let R be the set of lengths of columns in the shape of lambda that are less than n. Ordered set partitions of {1,. ,n} with block sizes determined by R, called R-permutations, are used to describe the minimal length representatives for the parabolic quotient of the nth symmetric group specified by the set {1,. ,n-1}\R. The notion of 312-avoidance is generalized from n-permutations to these set partitions. The R-parabolic Catalan number is defined to be the number of these. Every flagged Schur function arises as a Demazure polynomial. Those Demazure polynomials are precisely indexed by the R-312-avoiding R-permutations. Hence the number of flagged Schur functions that are distinct as polynomials is shown to be the R-parabolic Catalan number. The projecting and lifting processes that relate the notions of 312-avoidance and of R-312-avoidance are described with maps developed for other purposes.
Perpetual growth, distribution, and robots

The current literature on the economic effects of machine learning, robotisation and artificial intelligence suggests that there may be an upcoming wave of substitution of human labour by machines (including software). We take this as a reason to rethink the traditional ways in which technological change has been represented in economic models. In doing so, we contribute to the recent literature on so-called perpetual growth, i.e., growth of per capita income without technological progress. When technology embodied in capital goods are sufficiently advanced, per capita growth becomes possible with a non-progressing state of technology. We present a simple Solow-like growth model that incorporates these ideas. The model predicts a rising wage rate but declining share of wage income in the steady state growth path. We present simulation experiments on several policy options to combat the inequality that results from this, including a universal basic income as well as an option in which workers become owners of "robots".
The evolution of grain mantles and silicate dust growth at high redshift

In dense molecular clouds, interstellar grains are covered by mantles of iced molecules. The formation of the grain mantles has two important consequences: it removes species from the gas phase and promotes the synthesis of new molecules on the grain surfaces. The composition of the mantle is a strong function of the environment that the cloud belongs to. Therefore, clouds in high-zeta galaxies, where conditions – like temperature, metallicity, and cosmic ray flux – are different from those in the Milky Way, will have different grain mantles. In the last years, several authors have suggested that silicate grains might grow by accretion of silicon-bearing species on smaller seeds. This would occur simultaneously with the formation of the iced mantles and be greatly affected by its composition as a function of time. In this work, we present a numerical study of the grain mantle formation in high-zeta galaxies, and we quantitatively address the possibility of silicate growth. We find that the mantle thickness decreases with increasing redshift, from about 120 to 20 layers for z varying from 0 to 8. Furthermore, the mantle composition is also a strong function of the cloud redshift, with the relative importance of CO, CO2, ammonia, methane, and methanol highly varying with z. Finally, being Si-bearing species always a very minor component of the mantle, the formation of silicates in molecular clouds is practically impossible.
Scattering theory for semilinear wave equations with small data in two space dimensions

We study scattering theory for the semilinear wave equation Utt Au = JujP-lu in two space dimensions. We show that if p > p0 = (3+x/ii)/2, the scattering operator exists for smooth and small data. The lower bound p0 of p is considered to be optimal (see Glassey [6, 7], Schaeffer [ 18]). Our result is an extension of the results by Strauss [19], Klainerman [10], and Mochizuki and Motai [14, 15]. The construction of the scattering operator for small data does not follow directly from the proofs in [7, 13, 20 and 22] concerning the global existence of solutions for the Cauchy problem of the above equation with small initial data given at t = 0 in two space dimensions, because we have to consider the integral equation with unbounded integral region associated to the above equation: u(x, t) = u(x, t)? I[ [(II )(,s dy ds, ? 27r IJ Jix-yl<t-s /(tS)2 Ix y12 for t e R, where u-(x, t) is a solution of utt Au = 0 which u(x, t) approaches asymptotically as t -+ -oo. The proof of the basic estimate for the above integral equation is more difficult and complicated than that for the Cauchy problem of utt Au = Iu Pu in two space dimensions.
Swift and Suzaku observations of spectral evolution in the FRED type GRBs

The energy dependence in light curves of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) is a probe to study the underlying radiation mechanism. In particular, spectral evolution in the decay phase is expected to reflect the cooling process of accelerated electrons. Norris et al. [ 1] systematically examined asymmetric pulses in the prompt emissions of GRBs and showed that the pulse widths have the energy dependence that is well approximated with a power-law with the energy index of −0.41 in average. Although they did not particularly mention about the decay phase, their result strongly suggests a universal radiation/cooling mechanism in the emission region of GRBs. In previous study with Suzaku/WAM[ 2] , we sampled 6 bright GRBs; 7 well isolated pulses that showed no power-law decay but exhibiting exponential-decay (FRED) were detected in total, and found that the time constants evaluated for each energy band exhibited a power-law type energy dependence with the energy index of −0.3 to −0.5. Now our next step would be to investigate the radiation process in the GRB prompt emissions in wider energy bands beyond Suzaku/WAM. Here we report the results of our study of the three bright GRBs (GRB 060117, GRB 070917, GRB 080413B) that showed the FRED and were observed with both Swift/BAT and Suzaku/WAM. All of their exponential decays exhibit similar power-law type energy dependence. The distribution of the energy indices is consistent with the FREDs that were observed with WAM, as reported in [ 2]. Our detailed time-resolved spectral study reveals that the spectra of all the three FREDs are well reproduced with the Band GRB functions with decreasing turnover energy. In particular, the time evolution of two of the three FREDs are consistent with those expected in the fast synchrotron-cooling regime [ 3].
Intraguild predation and biosafety of entomopathogenic nematode

Intraguild predation (IGP) occurs when two species that share a host or also engage in a trophic interaction with each other (parasitism or predation), different entomopathogenic nematode-bacterium complexes, biology, life cycle and vertebrate safety and related legislative issues, exchange of germplasm, commercial aspects, post application persistence, transgenic and defined the boundaries with pathogenic bacteria of medical, veterinary or agronomic importance and sustainability of wild and transgenic entomopathogenic nematode-bacterium complexes in the field were well studied (Jansson, 1993; Rosenheim et al., 1995; Richardson, 1996; Rizvi et al., 1996; Boemare et al., 1996, Ehlers, 1996; Smits, 1996; Gaugler et al. 1997). Kaya (1978) reported susceptibility of adults Apanteles militaris (Hymenoptera: Braconidae), parasitoid of the armyworm, Pseudaletia unipuncta and its larvae. Similar results were recorded during his study with the tachinid parasite Compsilura concinnatau (Diptera: Tachinidae) to Neoaplectana carpocapsaeu (Nematoda: Steinernematidae) and its associated bacterium, Xenorhabdus nematphilus in 1984. Haag & Boucias (1991) reported in their study ABSTRACT: Intraguild predation (IGP) appears to be pervasive among communities of biocontrol agents associated with nematode sharing the host with trophic interaction. Entomopathogenic nematode (Heterorhabditis bacteriophora) and its associated bacterium (Photorhabdus luminescens); an egg parasitiod, Trichogramma chilonis and a predator Chrysoperla zastrowi sillemi were selected for present study. There was no adverse effect of H. bacteriophora and P. luminescens observed on adult emergence of T. chilonis. Microscopic examination of eggs, larvae and adults of T. chilonis and C. z. sillemi treated with H. bacteriophora, P. luminescens and cell-free culture filtrates of P. luminescens, exhibited no deformity, discoloration or infection of organisms. Similarly, H. bacteriophora, P. luminescens or the cell-free culture filtrates exhibited no adverse activity on egg hatching or larvae of C. z. sillemi indicating that there was no intraguild competition under artificial epiphytotic conditions between the organisms under report, viz., H. bacteriophora, its associated bacterium (P. luminescens), T. chilonis and C. z. sillemi.
The convergence of media and tourism performances

Popular culture and tourism are intertwining. The use of film and literature amongst destination marketing organisations is a global trend, but how can we understand this phenomenon and all the processes involved? Up to now popular culture and tourism have been researched mainly from a single media perspective. However, it is difficult to separate the impact of one media product from that of another, and it is now time to highlight the processes of multimediality. Moreover, this far most of the research has focused on destination marketing issues and not on the tourists involved in these processes. Therefore, it is relevant to explore in which sense these intertwined media products are part of tourists’ activities as well as of their understandings of places. The aim of this dissertation is to explore the different processes that emerge when tourism and popular cultural media products interweave, placing special emphasis on tourist performances and destinations. Roslyn Chapel, which is featured in The Da Vinci Code, and the hereto related tourism activities is the case studied in this dissertation. However, each of the papers included have a slightly different theoretical and methodological approach. The main theoretical concepts applied and discussed in the dissertation are mediatization, convergence and performance. Studying a single case this dissertation explores the different ongoing processes that this tourist place is part of, covering themes ranging from converging media products to tourists’ performances and sense of place in relation to popular cultural media products. The dissertation thereby adds to the expanding field of research, which is concerned with the intertwining of popular culture and tourism.

Movement Coordination: Factor Structure of Development in 5th-7th Grade Girls

The study objective is to determine the structure of coordination abilities development in 5th-7th grade girls. Materials and methods. The participants in the study were 5th grade girls (n = 20), 6th grade girls (n = 23), 7th grade girls (n = 19). The study used the following methods: analysis and collation of scientific and methodological literature, general scientific methods of theoretical level, such as analogy, analysis, synthesis, abstraction, induction, as well as general scientific methods of empirical level: observation, testing, experiment. To evaluate motor preparedness, the study recorded the results of motor tests, body height and weight. The IBM SPSS 20 statistical analysis software was used to process the study materials. A factor analysis was performed, for which the study used principal component analysis with the rotation method: Variamax with Kaiser Normalization. Results. The analysis of similarities shows that the most informative tests in the structure of motor preparedness of the 5th grade girls are the following: test 11 “Evaluation of the ability for vestibular (statokinetic) stability. Running with turns” (.884), test 9 “Static equilibrium evaluation by E. Ya. Bondarevsky’s method” (.826), test 6 “Evaluation of the sense of movement speed in sprinting” (.824); of the 6th grade girls — test 11 “Evaluation of the ability for vestibular (statokinetic) stability. Running with turns” (0.884), test 9 “Static equilibrium evaluation by E. Ya. Bondarevsky’s method” (.826), test 6 “Evaluation of the sense of movement speed in sprinting” (.824); of the 7th grade girls — test 8 “Evaluation of the ability to differentiate movement speed (reproduction accuracy of running speed at 90% intensity of maximum)” (.902), test 11 “Evaluation of the ability for vestibular (statokinetic) stability. Running with turns” (.900), test 1 “30 m running (s)” (.869). Conclusions. In the structure of coordination abilities of the 5th-7th grade girls, the most informative components are the sense and differentiation of running speed, vestibular stability in exercises that require static and dynamic equilibrium. To carry out pedagogical control of coordination preparedness of 5th-7th grade girls, the study recommends using the following tests: test 11 “Evaluation of the ability for vestibular (statokinetic) stability. Running with turns”, test 9 “Static equilibrium evaluation by E. Ya. Bondarevsky’s method”, test 6 “Evaluation of the sense of movement speed in sprinting”.
