<p>Abstract. The students' long jump learning outcomes still do not meet the KKM. This study aims to describe the process of improving long jump learning outcomes through the rope jumping approach to fourth grade students of Katekan 2 Elementary School in Gantiwarno District, Klaten Regency. This research is a classroom action research. The subjects in this study were grade IV students of SDN 2 Katekan in Gantiwarno District, Klaten Regency with a total of 20 students. The instrument used was a long jump performance test. The data analysis<br />technique used in this study is descriptive qualitative and quantitative. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that the effort to increase the results of the long jump through rope jumping in the fourth grade students of Katekan Elementary School 2 of Gantiwarno Subdistrict, Klaten Regency was successfully marked by an increase in the average value of students. The average value of students in pre-action activities was 55.94 with a percentage of completeness of 40%. This condition experienced an increase in the average value of students<br />in the first cycle, namely to be equal to 65.63 and the percentage of completeness by 60%. However, this increase has not yet reached the target set previously. Then after proceeding to the second cycle the students' long jump average value increased to 70.50 with the percentage of completeness of 90%. This shows that the previously set target has been reached so that the research is stopped in cycle II. The long jump learning process using the play approach takes place dynamically and pleasantly. Students actively carry out the task and observe the movement of the long jump technique and discuss each other with friends. All aspects of<br />assessment are mastered by students. The students' long jump ability increases with the markedby all KKM complete students (Minimum Completion Criteria), namely 67.</p>
Exposure to the US Criminal Legal System and Well-Being: A 2018 Cross-Sectional Study
Authors: Sundaresh Ram , Yi Youngmin , Roy Brita , Riley Carley , Wildeman Christopher , Wang Emily A. 
Published: January 2020

Objectives. To assess the association between exposure to the US criminal legal system and well-being. Methods. We used data from the 2018 Family History of Incarceration Survey, a nationally representative cross-sectional study of family incarceration experience (n = 2815), which includes measures of participants’ own criminal legal system exposure, including police stops, arrests, and incarceration. We measured well-being across 5 domains—physical, mental, social, spiritual, and overall life evaluation—and analyzed trends in well-being by criminal legal system exposure using logistic regression. Results. Exposure to police stops, arrests, and incarceration were each associated with lower well-being in every domain compared with those not exposed. Longer durations of incarceration and multiple incarcerations were associated with progressively lower well-being. Those who were stopped and frisked by the police had low well-being similar to that of those who had been incarcerated multiple times. Conclusions. Any exposure to police contact or incarceration is associated with lower well-being in every domain. More involved exposure is associated with even lower well-being. Public Health Implications. Jail diversion and broader criminal justice reform may improve population-level well-being by reducing police contact and incarceration.
Employment and Health Among Recently Incarcerated Men Before and After the Affordable Care Act (2009–2017)
Authors: Gutierrez Carmen M. , Pettit Becky 
Published: January 2020

Objectives. To explore whether and how the Affordable Care Act (ACA) affects the relationship between employment and health insurance coverage, health care utilization, and health outcomes among recently incarcerated men aged 18 to 64 years in the United States. Methods. With data from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH), we used a difference-in-differences approach to compare changes in outcomes by employment status among recently incarcerated men. Results. Uninsurance declined significantly among recently incarcerated men after ACA implementation. As the uninsured rate of unemployed men fell below that of their employed counterparts, the ACA helped to fully eliminate the effect of employment on insurance coverage among recently incarcerated men. The employment gap in diabetes widened after ACA implementation as unemployed men saw significant increases in diagnosed diabetes. Employment disparities in hospital visits, diagnosed hypertension, and reported mental illness also declined in the period following ACA implementation, but these changes were not statistically significant. Conclusions. These findings highlight how the ACA, by providing a new route to health care, reduces the confounding forces associated with employment that are linked to both incarceration and health.

Published: January 2020

Objectives. To determine the rate and correlates of incarceration among street-based female sex workers (FSWs). Methods. From April 2016 to January 2017, FSWs (n = 250) in Baltimore City, Maryland, were enrolled in a 12-month prospective cohort study. We analyzed baseline data and used zero-inflated negative binomial regression to model the incarceration rate. Results. Overall, 70% of FSWs had ever been incarcerated (mean = 15 times). In the multivariable analysis, incarceration rate was higher for FSWs exposed to police violence, non-Hispanic White FSWs, and women who used injection drugs daily. Risk for ever being incarcerated was higher for FSWs exposed to police or client violence, non-Hispanic Black FSWs, women who used injection or noninjection drugs daily, and those with longer time in sex work. Conclusions. Incarceration was associated with exposure to violence from both police and clients. Daily drug use and time in sex work appeared to amplify these risks. Although non-Hispanic Black women were at greater risk for ever being incarcerated, non-Hispanic White women were incarcerated more frequently. Public Health Implications. Decriminalization of sex work and drug use should be prioritized to reduce violence against FSWs.
Genesis of giant, bouldery bars in a Miocene gravel-bed river: Insights from outcrop sedimentology, UAS-SfM photogrammetry, and GPR
Authors: Korus Jesse T. , Joeckel R. Matthew , Tucker Shane T. 
Published: January 2020

ABSTRACTBedsets of bouldery intraformational conglomerate partly fill a narrow, 40-m-deep paleovalley in the Arikaree Group (lower Miocene) in Nebraska, USA. Entire bar successions are exposed in 3D, offering an opportunity to improve upon sedimentological models for coarse-grained fluvial deposits. Using unmanned aircraft, structure-from-motion photogrammetry, and ground-penetrating radar, we offer the first comprehensive assessment of the lithofacies and stratigraphic architecture of this regionally unique fluvial conglomerate. We interpret three lithofacies associations: (1) beds of chaotic breccias lining the exhumed valley wall (colluvium), (2) &lt; 5-m-thick units dominated by horizontal to gently inclined (2–3°) beds of granule to pebble conglomerates, and (3) 10–24-m-thick units of steeply inclined (∼ 30°) beds of bouldery conglomerates, which dominate the channel fill. The deposit comprises at least four stories, but its thickest part is a deep scour filled by a single story of steeply inclined bouldery deposits. The direction of accretion of the giant bars was toward the paleovalley wall, where contemporaneous valley-side colluvium and bar deposits are juxtaposed. We propose that increased discharge in a high-order trunk stream rapidly eroded the friable sandstone of the underlying Monroe Creek–Harrison formations, amassing resistant, large concretions that were subject to valley-slope mass movements and fluvial transport (subaqueous traction, grainflow, and debris flow). Giant accretion surfaces formed as fluvial bars migrated over the edges of deep scours. Thus, the funneling of increased discharges through a confined paleovalley amplified the magnitudes of valley and bed erosion, water depth, stream competence, and bar thickness, preserving an exceptionally thick, coarse-grained deposit.
FACS Isolation of Melanocyte Stem Cells from Mouse Skin
Authors: Zhang Bing , He Megan , Hsu Ya-Chieh 
Published: January 2020

Abstract
Melanocyte stem cells (MeSCs) are crucial for generating mature melanocytes that colour the skin and hair. Dysfunction of MeSCs can result in conditions such as hair greying, hypo- or hyper-pigmentation disorders, and melanoma. Here we describe a fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) strategy for isolating MeSCs from mouse skin. The isolated MeSCs can be used in a multitude of experiments including gene expression analysis, transplantation, and others.

Published: January 2020

Abstract
Background It is difficult to capture the exact time of pubertal initiation in normal children, including the detailed patterns of physical development, the cut-off values of hormone changing at pubertal initiation and maturation. Method Patients diagnosed with CHH were included in to prospectively investigate the hormones changes by GnRH pulsed pump therapy. We investigate testis volume and the hormones of HPG axis at basal and LHRH stimulated at 0 and the end of week 1, 4, and 12. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was plotted to determine the cut-off values of pubertal hormones.Results: Twenty-four CHH patients received pulse LHRH therapy were rolled in this study. ①stimulated FSH reached peak and LH increased significantly at week4. At this time point we workup the cut-off hormones values for pubertal initiation by ROC. They are: basal LH 1.32 IU/L, LH/FSH 0.34, the stimulated LH 4.45 IU/L and LH/FSH 0.54 for initiation. ②Basal INH-b elevated at week1, followed by T at week4, then AMH decreased at week12 coupled with testicle and penis growth. ③the pituitary response of CHH is normal when LH in the range of 1.81-3.17 IU/L and the LH / FSH in the range of 0.57-0.87. Conclusion ① we got the cut-off values of puberty initiation: basal LH 1.32 IU/L, stimulated LH 4.45 and LH/FSH 0.54 signed HPG axis activated. ②we got the cut-off hormones values of normal pituitary response: stimulated LH in the range of 1.81-3.17 IU/L and LH / FSH in the range of 0.57-0.87.
Characterization of the Key Region and Key Phosphorylation Sites of EcaICE1 for its Molecular Interaction with EcaHOS1 Protein in Eucalyptus camaldulensis

Published: January 2020

Abstract
Background ICE1 (inducer of CBF expression 1), a MYC-like bHLH transcriptional activator, plays an important role in plant under cold stress via regulating transcriptional expression of downstream cold-responsive genes. Ubiquitination-proteasome pathway mediated by high expression of osmotically responsive gene1 (HOS1) can effectively induce the degradation of ICE1 and decrease the expression of expression of CBFs and their downstream genes under cold stress response in Arabidopsis , but the knowledge about ubiquitination regulation of ICE1 by HOS1 is still unknown in woody plants.Results The complete EcaICE1 gene and a new E3 ubiquitin ligase gene EcaHOS1 were amplified from the tissue culture seedlings of Eucalyptus camaldulensis . Yeast two-hybrid (Y2H) and BiFC assay results showed that EcaICE1 can interact with EcaHOS1 protein in the nucleus, and further Y2H assay demonstrated that the 126-185 amino acid region at the N-terminus of EcaICE1 protein was indispensable for its interaction with EcaHOS1 protein. Moreover, we found that the amino acids at positions 143, 145, 158 and 184 within the key interaction region were the potential phosphorylation sites of EcaICE1 based on bioinformatics analysis, and that only the substitution of Serine (Ser) 158 by Alanine (Ala) blocked the protein-protein interactions between EcaICE1 and EcaHOS1 by Y2H and β-galactosidase assays using site-direct mutagenesis. Overexpression of EcaICE1 and its mutations in Arabidopsis could significantly increase POD and SOD activities with a reduction for MDA content and up-regulate four cold-responsive genes ( CBF3 , KIN1 , COR15 and COR47A ) in the transgenic lines.Conclusion We first reported that EcaICE1 could interact with EcaHOS1 protein in Eucalyptus , and identified Ser 158 of EcaICE1 as the key phosphorylation site for its interaction with EcaHOS1 protein.
The origin of Epichloë endophyte - perennial ryegrass symbionts modify plant reactions to elevated concentration of Pb2+, Cd2+ and Cu2+ ions in soil
Authors: Żurek Grzegorz , Wiewióra Barbara , Rybka Krystyna , Prokopiuk Kamil 
Published: January 2020

Abstract
Background: The phenomenon of plant mutualistic symbiosis with microbes may have apositive effect on improvement of plant tolerance to environmental stresses. The influence of fungal endophyte of the Epichloë sp. ( Clavicipitaceae ) on perennial ryegrass ( Lolium perenne L.) plants grown in presence of heavy metal (HM) ions, Cd, Pb and Cu, in soil was studied. Results : The presence of Epichloë in the host grass tissues resulted in increase of the chlorophyll content, efficiency of photosystem II and accumulation of HM ions in aerial parts of plants and was dependent on host genotypes related to host plant origin. In both, E+ and E- plants the hormesis effect was induced by elevated concentration of Cu ions, resulting in better growth and photosynthesis, as examined by measurements of Chl a fluorescence. In case of an application of Epichloë -colonized grasses for HM phytoremediation, the choice of most effective host-endophyte interactions should be based on laboratory evaluation of the efficiency of the symbiosis. Conclusions: The presence of Epichloë endophytes positively affected ryegrass ability to accumulate HM ions and this accumulation was related to origin of Epichloë -ryegrass symbionts.
