Simple and Inexpensive Downdraft Table to Limit Aerosol Exposure from Patients, Aerosol-Generating Procedures, and Surgical Smoke
Authors: Zdilla Matthew , Goldsmith W. Travis , Nurkiewicz Timothy
Published: June 2023

Pathogenic aerosols are common, especially in clinical settings. Aerosols are released from quiet and forced respiration, non-respiratory movements (e.g., coughing and sneezing), aerosol-generating procedures, and surgical smoke plumes. Aerosols may contain viruses (e.g., coronaviruses, influenza viruses, adenoviruses) and bacteria (e.g., Streptococcus pneumoniae, Stapylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Mycobacterium tuberculosis). Surgical smoke plumes may contain harmful volatile organic compounds (e.g., formaldehyde), viral particles (e.g., human papillomavirus), or cancerous cells. Thus, the containment of airborne pathogenic organisms, xenobiotics, and bioaerosols is of the utmost importance. Yet, despite the importance of negative airflow and exhaust ventilation, many clinical environments do not have adequate ventilation systems— often due to significant monetary expenses or other barriers to access such as remote locations. Recently, a relatively inexpensive downdraft table (< 200 USD), made of wood, tarps, rebar, and corrugated steel roofing material and a simple local exhaust ventilation system (~ 300 USD) have been demonstrated to eliminate airborne VOCs, including VOCs found in surgical smoke. However, the table has not been assessed regarding the capacity to remove water-based aerosols. Therefore, the purpose of this research was to assess the ability of the downdraft table and local exhaust ventilation system to exhaust varied water-based and organic aerosols. The study identifies that a simple and inexpensive downdraft table can effectively exhaust aerosols like those found in clinical environments. This study represents an innovation in accessible medical technology that will improve health and safety in regions that include developing countries and remote locations.

Hoop Houses Provide Optimal Conditions for Increased Crop Production Year-round
Authors: Newberry Sue
Published: June 2023

I worked with the non-profit organization Eco Vrindavan Inc., located in Moundsville West Virginia to grow and provide organic food to the local community.  Wheeling’s Grow Ohio Valley, an organization that supports local food production, assisted in installing “hoop houses” which increase the length of the growing season and increase production.  Hoop houses are unheated structures covered in plastic where crops are planted directly into the ground.  While working for Eco Vrindavan Inc., I observed how hoop houses extend the growing season by keeping the ground from freezing and ensuring the survival of selected crops through winter months.  During this internship, I grew, planted, and harvested various greens in order to provide produce to the community.  I learned what types of greens do well in cold climates and which ones do not and I have gained experience in how to organically fertilize plants, check soil quality, and look for mites and other diseases on crops.  Currently, preparation for spring planting is underway to ensure early crops of flowers and summer vegetables.  Hoop houses may provide benefits to organic growers who need crops to be available all year long and help minimize labor costs by keeping pests away while ensuring temperature changes do not negatively affect crops.  In the future, I hope to educate other organic growers on the benefits hoop houses provide and use what I have learned to introduce organic growing in hoop houses to more communities statewide.
Assessing the UAE's Efforts to Combat Climate Change using Ecological Footprint Accounting
Authors: Walters Elizabeth
Published: June 2023

Growing concern about climate change created the need for a globally applied system of accounting to track demand on the earth’s resources and their supply. An ecological footprint analysis provides an objective metric for the ecological impact a nation has on the environment, measured in global hectares/capita. Using data provided by the Global footprint Network, we calculate that the UAE has an ecological deficit of 9.2 global hectares/person but has only 9% of the area required to offset the cost of its environmental impact. The UAE is working to reduce this deficit and can approach this by 1) increasing its biocapacity and 2) reducing its ecological footprint. A Pearson Correlation Coefficient was computed to assess the linear relationship between each of the 6 land use metrics described by Wackernagel (1990) and the total ecological footprint of the UAE. Loss of fisheries was found to significantly impact the biocapacity, r(37) = [.998], p= [1.3347E-53], while carbon emissions have contributed the most to the ecological footprint r(37) = [ .986], p = [ 6.7143E-36]. These data can inform options for the targeted support one of earth’s most vulnerable ecosystems and encourage increased use of renewable energy sources.

Uncontrolled neural stem cell proliferation affects larval survival during dietary nutrient withdrawal.
Authors: Adamo Liliana , Sipe Conor
Published: June 2023

Regulated stem cell proliferation during development is critical to produce and organize all the cell types required in the adult organism. In some developing organisms that experience intermittent periods of starvation, stem cell physiology adapts dynamically, presumably to ensure optimal development. In the developing Drosophila brain, there are two populations of neuroblasts (neural stem cells) that respond differently to dietary nutrient starvation: one subtype is sensitive to systemic nutrient levels and ceases dividing, while the other continues to divide regardless of dietary nutrient availability. Previous work has shown that this behavior is mediated by a cell-intrinsic genetic program involving the Eyeless and myc transcription factors. We set out to understand whether arrest of neuroblast proliferation plays a role in larval survival during starvation. We forced all neuroblasts in the developing brain to continue to proliferate during dietary nutrient withdrawal by overexpressing myc and Eyeless and measured larval survival over time. Larvae with abnormal enforced neuroblast proliferation died at a faster rate than control larvae, suggesting that the arrest of neuroblast proliferation is critical for larval survival during periods of starvation. Our results are consistent with the idea that neuroblasts which arrest their proliferation are involved in reallocating nutrients to the other persistently dividing neuroblast subtype in a form of nervous system sparing.
Assessing the interactions of variables affecting the rate of nonhuman decomposition
Authors: Parsell Serenity , Henson Kristy
Published: June 2023

Decomposition of organic tissue is a complex process that is affected by a large number of interactions. These variables affect the rate of decomposition, insect activity, and the onset of each individual stage in the decomposition process. Of the variables in effect, some of the most commonly studied are temperature and moisture. The purpose of this study is to analyze the impact of other variables, such as age at death, body size, sun exposure, and presence of preservation chemicals on the rate of decomposition in nonhuman specimens. The goal of this research is to give more insight into the complex interactions between these variables and analyze the reliability of current decomposition analysis. As ethical considerations and policies affect how researchers use human remains, more decomposition research is needed to better understand this very sensitive process and all the variables that are included. Preliminary results suggest that sun exposure, relative body size, and age at death do not significantly affect the rate of nonhuman decomposition, but a principal component analysis suggests correlation does exist between subsets of these variables. Ongoing work to include larger sample sizes, as well as chemically preserved animals, is currently running. Expected results indicate that preserved animals will take longer to fully decompose, and the effects of age, sun exposure, and body size will not be significant.
Hypoxia increases Neisseria gonorrhoeae resistance to resazomycins: Role of Efflux Pumps and Oxidative Stress
Authors: Gibson Jordan Faith
Published: June 2023

Neisseria gonorrhoeae (Ng) has developed resistance to all antibiotics previously and currently recommended for treatment of gonorrhea, underscoring the need for novel antimicrobials against this pathogen.  Resazomycins are highly effective antimicrobials against Ng in vitro. However, when these compounds were tested in a mouse model of gonorrhea, only one resazomycin, resorufin pentyl ether (RPE), exhibited any therapeutic effect. One reason for this difference between in vitro and in vivo therapeutic efficacy is increased resistance to resazomycins at low levels of oxygen (2%). We hypothesized this difference in susceptibility was due to altered activity of multi-drug efflux pumps. To test this, we screened a selection of Ngmutants that do not express or overexpress either the MtrCDE or NorM efflux pumps for Rz susceptibility. Overexpression of MtrCDE resulted in increased resistance to Rz at both 2% and ~20% oxygen suggesting resazurin may be a substrate of this efflux pump. Loss of expression of either MtrCDE or NorM had no effect on the increased resistance of Ng to resazurin at low oxygen. We next sought to determine whether the increased susceptibility of Rz at 20% oxygen is due to oxidative stress. To test this, we measured the susceptibility of Ng to Rz in the presence and absence of the antioxidants, cysteine HCl and glutathione, at 20% oxygen. In the presence of cysteine HCl or glutathione, multiple Ng strains had a higher Rz MIC at 20% oxygen. Here, we have shown oxygen concentration affects Ngsusceptibility to Rz due to increased oxidative stress.
External effects on the characteristics of handwriting analysis and the analysis of forgery types.
Authors: Bonham Hannah
Published: June 2023

This project studies the effects of time and hand dominance on different characteristics of handwriting analysis. The handwriting characteristics that were tested are line quality, slope of writing, pen lifts, letter spacing, and word spacing. These characteristics were tested in a subject’s dominant and non-dominant handwriting. Twenty-five adult human subjects participated in this experiment. The research was split into two parts. Part one analyzed the characteristics of a subject’s dominant and non-handwriting during the morning, afternoon, and evening of (preferably) the same day. In the part one phase, participants were asked to write: "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog." Part two analyzed the authenticity of a freehand, simulation, and tracing forgery. A ruler was used to quantify the handwriting characteristics. The line quality of the dominant and non-dominant hands does not change during the different sessions. The slope of the writing changes more with the non-dominant hand. The non-dominant hand has greater letter and word spacing. The dominant hand typically changed the pen lifts number more than the non-dominant hand. “Quick” was the word that had the most changes in pen lifts for both the dominant and non-dominant hand. The freehand forgery is easy to classify as a forged attempt. The simulation forgery can be distinguished from the genuine signature, but it can still be identified as a forgery. The traced forgery could pass off as a genuine signature.

Authors: Logan Madelyn , Cantlay Stuart , Horzempa Joseph
Published: June 2023

With antibiotic resistance on the rise, it is important that the scientific community continues to advance our understanding of antibiotics and grow our medicinal arsenal of treatments. The potential exists for many novel compounds to be discovered from fungal extracts that can save lives, following suit of the one of the earliest characterized antibiotics, penicillin. These fungal-derived compounds can be used as new therapeutics to treat infections that have developed resistance to current antibiotics. A variety of types of fungi can produce secondary metabolites that are useful for medical purposes, so it is worthwhile to screen a wide range of environmental isolates. Dozens of environmental fungi were isolated from West Liberty soil, water, and dust. Seven different species were able to kill or inhibit Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) on a Tryptic Soy Agar (TSA) plate. Sequencing of the 18S rRNA gene was used to identify three isolated fungi. Ongoing investigations seek to extract and purify their antibiotic secondary metabolites.
Examination and Assessment of the Environmental Health of a Non-Acid Mining Drainage Site
Authors: Dulaney Kamden , Flood Mark
Published: June 2023

The overall aim of this undergraduate research was to quantify and identify trends within the bacterial environment at a non-acid mining drainage site in Lumberport, West Virginia, United States, due to iron and aluminum contamination. As the environmental impact of metal contaminants in acid mining drainage has been a concern for decades, this project is an excellent attempt to assess whether filtration methods are within local standards, to raise awareness of the potential bacterial hazards due to metal contaminants, and to discover the detrimental effects of mining drainage in general. Through community-level profiling and multi-parameter analysis, the percent functional diversity and percent variation of bacterial populations were quantified, as well as the pH and temperature throughout 8 collection points at different proximities from the direct mining drainage. It was determined that due to the mining drainage, the pH increases, the temperature increases, and the percent functional diversity increases.
Development of Undergraduate Teaching Laboratories in the Analysis of Maple Syrup Antioxidants and Phenolics
Authors: Gibson Caleb
Published: June 2023

To address the perpetual need for STEM education resources that foster an interest in scientific research, promote a positive public perception of science, and create an appreciation for the relevance of scientific data in decision-making, we developed a modular set of undergraduate laboratory exercises influenced by ongoing basic research towards elucidating the chemical composition of pure maple syrups. Maple syrup has garnered attention in the chemical literature due to the abundance of phenolic and antioxidant compounds that impart both flavor and therapeutic potential. These experiments feature liquid-liquid extraction techniques and instrumental analysis using Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) as well as UV-visible spectroscopy. These lab modules can be adapted to different levels of technical rigor for use in courses designed for chemistry majors as well as those designed as introductory courses for nonmajors. Two versions of these exercises were implemented in the spring of 2023: one in a majors-level sophomore organic chemistry, and another in a 100-level food chemistry course. Learning outcomes were specified and survey data was collected from students to assess the ability of the exercises to facilitate student learning.
Non-starved mucoid Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates cause a high death rate in strains of mice.
Authors: Fritz Caleb
Published: June 2023

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen that affects many patients in a hospital setting as well as immunocompromised patients. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is resistant to many antibiotics because of the formation of biofilms and pigmentations serving as virulence factors. Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates are either mucoid or alginate-producing and non-alginate-producing (non-mucoid) isolates. The main objective of this experiment was to analyze the pathogenicity of mucoid and non-mucoid isolates in P. aeruginosa in a mouse model. We hypothesized that mucoid isolates are more pathogenic compared to non-pathogenic ones. Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates PAO1 (non-mucoid) and 2192 (mucoid) were used intranasally to infect and monitor mortality rates. Isolates starved in water for at least three months were tested for infectivity. The mucoid isolate 2192 showed a 67% death rate compared to 33% of PAO1, suggesting the mucoid is more pathogenic to BALB/c mice than the non-mucoid PAO1. The death rate of mice infected with strain DBA susceptible to P. aeruginosa infection was higher than that of the BALB/c strain. The results also suggest that non-starved bacteria are more pathogenic to mice than starved bacteria. We extend our study by infecting mouse strains under hindlimb-unloading (HU) conditions with P. aeruginosa mucoid and non-mucoid isolates. Our results show that HU conditions enhance infection, suggesting the effect of stress and physiological changes could lead to susceptibility to infection. Our data indicate that the mucoid isolate is more likely to kill all mouse strains.

We present and discuss the results of a bibliographical research in national journals, with free access, in Qualis A1, A2 and B1 of the four-year period 2013-2016, which sought to investigate teaching practices regarding the use of Digital Information and Communication Technologies (TDIC) in the scope of Physics and Science teaching, during the COVID-19 pandemic. We identified the teaching practices employed, highlighting the use of active methodologies, such as the flipped classroom with the aid of technologies in the teaching of Physics and Science during remote teaching, as virtual learning platforms. With regard to teachers, we noticed the need to expand continuing education, with a view to strengthening the teaching and learning processes. The results also point to the need to deepen the investigation on the technological resources articulated to the teaching methodologies. Furthermore, we argue for the need to discuss the impacts and new possibilities that this pandemic context has generated in educational processes.

Studies on a global scale point out that climate change is a reality to be faced. Current data reveal a change in hydrological variable measures in biomes, such as the Atlantic Forest. These studies reveal trends in accentuated changes in the pattern of periods of droughts and floods, with the consequent disappearance of ecosystems. In this context, a workshop was set up to encourage high school students to reflect on climate change based on concepts from Physics, Mathematics and Natural Sciences, with a focus on the articulation between thinking and doing, with the reference of Citizen Science and the Base National Common Curriculum. Based on research data collection procedures developed at INMA - Instituto Nacional da Mata Atlântica, students engaged in the presented proposal. The workshop was held both in the classroom and in a biodiversity hotspot in the Atlantic Forest, the Museum of Biology Prof. Mello Leitão (MBML), INMA's headquarters, in Santa Teresa, State of Espírito Santo and was attended by 118 students from 6 classes of the 1st grade of high school at EEEFM José Pinto Coelho who collected data to calculate the flow of the Stream São Pedro that passes through the park of the Museum and behind the school. After the activities, the results revealed that students have difficulties in performing basic math calculations, arithmetic average, equations e unit conversion. In relation to climate change, it was possible to observe that the students presented a basic knowledge on the subject.

AZERBAYCAN VE TÜRKİYE TÜRKÇESİNDE RENK ADLARIYLA KURULAN BİTKİ ADLARI ÜZERİNE
Authors: ŞAHİN Hatice , TAKHİROVA Ramila
Published: June 2023

Türk dilinin ve Oğuz grubunun en dikkat çeken, gelişmiş yazı dillerinden olan Türkiye Türkçesi ve Azerbaycan Türkçesi Türk dilleri içinde birbirine en yakın diller konumundadır. Dolayısıyla söz konusu iki dil arasında fonetik, morfolojik, semantik ve dilin diğer düzlemlerinde önemli benzerlikler bulunmaktadır. Adlandırma konusunda da kendini gösteren bu benzerlikler, bitki adları konusunda da bazı ayrılıklar göstermesine rağmen çoğunlukla örtüşmektedir. Bu yazıda bu aynı grubun iki çok yakın temsilcisi olan bu diller, bitki adları açısından karşılaştırılmaya çalışılacaktır. Ancak bütün bitki adları değil, sadece renk adlarıyla kurulmuş bitki adlarının yapı ve kuruluş açısından karşılaştırılması ve tespit edilen örneklerin tasnif edilerek verilmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Üzerinde yoğun araştırmalar yapılan ancak daha çok çalışılması gereken bu konunun Türk dilinin tüm kolları arasında gerçekleştirilmesi buna benzer karşılaştırmaların yapılması ve daha da önemlisi bunların bir araya getirilerek bütünleştirilmesi büyük önem taşımaktadır. Çünkü bitki adları, kişilerin, toplumların yaşam deneyimini, kendisini çevreleyen dünyaya dair gözlemlerini, somutlaştırma yöntemlerini, kültürel ve tarihsel geleneklerini canlı bir şekilde temsil eden söz varlığı unsurlarındandır.

Authors: Di Marco Graciela
Published: June 2023

La investigación cuyos resultados se presentan aquí consistió en un estudio de las (in)movilidades de las mujeres en el AMBA visto desde una perspectiva de derechos humanos, igualdad de género y derecho a la ciudad. Se analizaron las estrategias y las prácticas de viaje de las mujeres de barrios populares para ir a trabajar, para llevar a sus hijxs a centros educativos, de cuidado infantil y de salud, y para las necesidades cotidianas, antes y durante la pandemia. Algunas de las preguntas que guiaron la investigación fueron: ¿cómo eran las prácticas de viaje de las mujeres antes de la cuarentena? ¿Cómo afectaron las restricciones la movilidad en transporte público de mujeres en situación de vulnerabilidad? ¿Qué estrategias elaboraron frente a esta situación?En simultáneo, se analizaron las transacciones de mujeres y varones en el transporte público también antes y durante la cuarentena. Para esto se recurrió al procesamiento y análisis de los grandes volúmenes de datos de transporte público que registra el Sistema Único de Boleto Electrónico (SUBE).
Acceso a la salud de la población con discapacidad en Argentina
Authors: Vázquez Néstor
Published: June 2023

Este libro busca aportar al desarrollo de evidencias empíricas que describan y analicen la situación de acceso a derechos de las personas con discapacidad, especialmente en el sector salud, y recupera las vivencias de los protagonistas con el fin de promover políticas acordes con el enfoque de derechos de la Convención Internacional por los Derechos de las Personas con Discapacidad. Para ello, se analizan las relaciones entre discapacidad y accesibilidad a la atención en salud, contemplando los itinerarios terapéuticos de las personas con discapacidad y los marcos interpretativos de las acciones y políticas impulsadas en el tema. Asimismo, se analizan las experiencias de las personas con discapacidad en el acceso a los centros de salud y los puntos críticos de una atención integral identificada por los actores institucionales gubernamentales y no gubernamentales a cargo del diseño, implementación y seguimiento de políticas sociales orientadas a la población con discapacidad. Este estudio se complementa con el análisis de las características socioeconómicas de la población certificada con discapacidad.

Finding a Dialectical Balance Between Process and Procedure
Authors: Galen Gillian C. , Aguirre Blaise A. , Tirpak Julianne Wilner
Published: June 2023

The case of "Jane" (Marks, 2022) provides a detailed examination of the evidenced-based treatment, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), in the treatment of a woman with complex and multifaceted psychiatric difficulties by Michael Marks, an advanced doctoral student clinician in a DBT training clinic. Marks’ presentation provides an excellent example of the challenges clinicians face when treating patients with borderline personality disorder (BPD) and many of the common and multiple co-morbidities that frequently accompany the BPD diagnosis. While DBT is sometimes dismissed as a treatment that just teaches skills, Marks demonstrates the technical demands and nuances that therapists must use to correctly and effectively treat suicidality, emotion dysregulation, mood dependent behaviors, and significant interpersonal deficits that often have destructive and painful consequences. The three authors bring a variety of perspectives in commenting on Marks’ case study. The first is a psychologist who is a senior DBT therapist and the Program Director and Director of Training at an established adolescent DBT Continuum of Care Program; the second is an internationally active psychiatrist who is the Medical Director of the same Continuum of Care Program and a Behavioral Tech DBT Trainer; and the third is a post-doctoral psychology fellow working with the first two authors. A major theme in our discussion will be the challenge, when delivering DBT, of how to balance  between technical interventions, on the one hand, and emotional experiencing, on the other. In exploring this theme, we will answer the questions, what was left out and what does it feel like?
Applying the Schema Therapy Approach of Edwards’ Case of Kelly to Patients With Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID): The Cases of Susie and Anna
Authors: Margolin Judith
Published: June 2023

David Edward' case of Kelly is a vivid demonstration of the power of Schema Therapy to address the present day emotional difficulties of Kelly, an individual with a background of traumatic childhood experiences. The therapy drew on Kelly's imagination and emotional memories to elicit distinct child-parts (called child "modes" in Schema Theory) of herself emerging from that traumatic background. Specifically, Edwards' interventions involved entering Kelly's inner world and therapeutically interacting with her modes. While Kelly's problems were primarily limited to her inner experience rather than to her behavioral functioning, I have found that Edwards' approach with Kelly applies to the cases I see who are much more seriously disturbed than Kelly. Specifically, I see cases with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), who share the experience of childhood trauma with Kelly, but whose behavioral lives can be chaotic and highly disturbed, sometimes requiring hospitalization. In this commentary I will briefly describe Edwards' Schema therapy model exemplified in the case of Kelly and illustrate the value of the model as applied to two cases of DID, Susie and Anna, that I have seen.

Theoretical, Clinical, Practical, and Personal Reflections on the Case of "Keo"
Authors: Shapiro Jerrold Lee
Published: June 2023

I want to thank Arthur Bohart (2023) and Amy Curtis and Ronald Miller (2023) for each writing an excellent commentary on my existential, multicultural case study of "Keo" (Shapiro, 2023). In this response, I begin by discussing Bohart’s comments, which deal with more theoretical issues; and then I turn to the questions raised by Curtis and Miller, which address more clinical, practical, and personal issues.
The Case of "Chris" through a Principle-Based and Alliance-Focused Lens
Authors: Lipner Lauren M.
Published: June 2023

The case of Chris (Yunusova, 2023) details an 8-session Accelerated Experiential-Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) treatment delivered in the context of a university clinic. Chris is a 30-year-old white male who had nearly completed a doctoral program at the time of treatment. He presented to treatment with the goals of addressing loneliness and depressive thought patterns in the context of the expectation that his emotions were overwhelming and noxious to others. The case illustrates the active role that avoidance and exposure can play in AEDP, with emphasis on affective exposure by way of AEDP’s efforts to increase the patient’s tolerance of their own emotions as well as those of others. The following discussion applies the integrative notion of principles of change in psychotherapy to the case of Chris, with an explicit focus on the therapeutic alliance and the emergence of alliance rupture markers in the development of the case.
