Authors: Walker Beth Ann , Ehrlich AJ , Masemore Hannah , Taft Kristen , Tuttle Carolyn , Young Hannah 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
Date Presented 04/05/19
A thematic synthesis of the implications for practice related to OT and aging in place found across available literature revealed six themes: client-centered care, autonomy, home modifications, community mobility, social participation, and caregiving. Clinicians should provide client-centered practice that emphasizes autonomy and individualized home modifications, reduces isolation, promotes accessibility within communities, and reduces caregiver burden.

Authors: Alnasar Musaed , Richard Lynne 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
Date Presented 04/05/19
The study examined OT students’ knowledge in ergonomics in reference to manual patient transfer (MPT) and its generalization to the clinical setting. Twenty-three OT students from an MSOT program participated. Participants were observed while performing an MPT to analyze posturing techniques with a standard patient. Findings suggest students had adequate knowledge of MPT technique but demonstrated poor carry-over of knowledge to application and use of ergonomic principles during an MPT.

The Psychosocial and Occupational Impact of Dog-Training Programs on Incarcerated Individuals
Authors: Bauer Samantha , Abel Regina 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
Date Presented 04/05/19
Although prison dog-training programs have increased in prevalence, little research on the topic exists. We used quantitative and qualitative methods in a repeated measures design to study effects of a dog-training program in a women’s prison. We found positive effects on empathy and academic and workplace self-confidence. Further, the program fostered improved parenting attitudes. We are beginning a similar study in a male institution to compare outcomes between female and male offenders.

Authors: Thompson MaryEllen 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
Date Presented 04/05/19
This six-year qualitative study examines morning routines of persons with chronic disabilities. The focus of year six was on nighttime habits impacting morning routines. Semistructured interviews were conducted and analyzed using cross-case analysis and grounded theory. Results show night habits are used to manage pain, stiffness, or fatigue the next morning and to manage timeliness. It is critical for OTs to understand morning routines and how nighttime habits impact these routines.

Published: November 2019

Abstract
Date Presented 04/06/19
This study examined reliability and validity of the Weekly Calendar Planning Activity-Student version (WCPA-S), an assessment of EF. Participants were 120 graduate and undergraduate students, ages 18 to 30. The WCPA-S was correlated with three other EF measures. Performance of students without and with learning challenges (e.g., ADHD, LD) was examined. There were small to moderate correlations among EF measures. It is essential for OT to have psychometrically sound measures.

Published: November 2019

Abstract
Date Presented 04/06/19
This study investigated sleep difficulties in Sensory Modulation Disorder (SMD). Parents of 105 typical children and 84 children with SMD completed both a sensory and a sleep questionnaire. Significant correlations were found. Too, tactile sensitivity, auditory filtering, seeks sensation, and low energy were significant predictors for 29% of the variance, p&lt;.001. Knowledge of which sensory parameters are affected by poor sleep will enable practitioners to focus their interventions with efficacy.

Published: November 2019

Abstract. In 2015, the Greenhouse gas Laser Imaging Tomography Experiment (GreenLITE™) measurement system was deployed for a long-duration experiment in the center of Paris, France. The system measures near-surface atmospheric CO2 concentrations integrated along 30 horizontal chords ranging in length from 2.3 to 5.2 km and covering an area of 25 km2 over the complex urban environment. In this study, we use this observing system together with six conventional in situ point measurements and the Weather Research and Forecasting model coupled with Chemistry (WRF-Chem) and two urban canopy schemes (Urban Canopy Model – UCM; Building Effect Parameterization – BEP) at a horizontal resolution of 1 km to analyze the temporal and spatial variations in CO2 concentrations within the city of Paris and its vicinity for the 1-year period spanning December 2015 to November 2016. Such an analysis aims at supporting the development of CO2 atmospheric inversion systems at the city scale. Results show that both urban canopy schemes in the WRF-Chem model are capable of reproducing the seasonal cycle and most of the synoptic variations in the atmospheric CO2 point measurements over the suburban areas as well as the general corresponding spatial differences in CO2 concentration that span the urban area. However, within the city, there are larger discrepancies between the observations and the model results with very distinct features during winter and summer. During winter, the GreenLITE™ measurements clearly
demonstrate that one urban canopy scheme (BEP) provides a much better
description of temporal variations and horizontal differences in CO2 concentrations than the other (UCM) does. During summer, much larger CO2 horizontal differences are indicated by the
GreenLITE™ system than both the in situ measurements and the model results, with systematic east–west variations.

The vital urge to live and find meaning - stories of place
This essay develops an understanding of how attachment to place and how physical, virtual and symbolic places can nurture or constrain a person’s will to carry on and find meaning. The nursing home is presented as an illustration of a physical place and the online gaming world represents a virtual place. Young and old share stories of how the symbolic meaning of place or memories of place can nurture hope and meaning. The stories also show how their attachment to place can result in a constricted understanding of who they are. Memories of vitality and envisioning themselves as strong and active create meaning and provide a welcome distraction in their everyday lives. The author mediates with the philosophies of Levinas, Tillich and Casey in order to develop an understanding of how certain places and our understanding of them can nurture or constrain a person’s will to carry on and find meaning.

Authors: Birgen Beatrice J. , Njue Lucy G. , Kaindi Dasel M. , Ogutu Fredrick O. 
Published: November 2019

Aim: To determine the food safety risks of consumption of street-vended poultry products, to evaluate the determinants of microbial safety and the risk rank of these products.
Study Design: A cross-sectional survey was done in the Korogocho and Kariobangi North slums among the consumers and vendors to assess their food safety knowledge and practices. Swab samples of the cooking equipment, utensils, and personnel, raw and cooked portions of poultry were collected for microbial quality evaluation. The most prevalent microorganism was assessed for its qualitative risk rank using the Risk Ranger software.
Place and Duration of Study: The study was carried out in the capital city of Kenya, Nairobi, from June 2018 to July 2018.
Methodology: A total of 15 vendors were exhaustively sampled and included in the study with the food safety and hygiene practices evaluated using a food safety checklist. The snowballing sampling technique was used to locate all the vendors. Samples of raw and cooked street vended poultry products were subjected to microbial analysis. All samples were collected in sterile polythene bags followed by transportation to the laboratory of the Department of Food Science and Technology of the University of Nairobi and microbial analysis.
Results: Campylobacter jejuni contamination, in both raw and cooked poultry products, was 8.95±0.94 log10 CFU g-1 and 4.66±2.67 log10 CFU g-1 respectively; the probability of contamination of raw street-vended poultry was found to be 48.96%. The mean weekly intake of the poultry was reported 140.0 g per person. The probability of campylobacter infection in an individual consumer was found as 7.12x10-3 with the predicted illnesses among the population found as 1.11x106 cases. The qualitative risk estimate from the study was reported as 67, above the limit of 48 for medium risk.
Conclusion: The study concluded that Campylobacter jejuni posed high food safety risks as a resultant from the consumption of street-vended poultry.
Risk Study of Hydrocarbon Impacted Surficial Soil at the Heavy Duty Diesel Generator Plant in Delta Park University of Port Harcourt, Nigeria
Authors: Udume Ogochukwu Ann , Abu Gideon O. 
Published: November 2019

Aim: To analyse the potential risk of hydrocarbon polluted surficial soil, from a heavy-duty generator plant at Delta Campus, University of Port Harcourt, Nigeria.
Study Design: Conceptual site model (CSM).
Methodology: A CSM was designed and applied prior to sample collection in order to screen for heavy metals and other chemicals of concern (COCs) from three different high-risk points. The CSM showed a credible source-pathway-receptor chain at three high-risk points. Risk assessment associated with the heavy metals was significantly reduced based on the Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR) – Environmental Guidelines and Standards for the Petroleum Industry In Nigeria (EGASPIN) values after 28 days of bioremediation study.
Results: The hazard quotient of the target (COCs) namely Arsenic, Cadmium, Chromium and Lead was less than one (< 1). This suggests that the study area does not pose significant risk on both Adults and children.
Conclusion: The evaluation is essential for the formulation of remedial actions and risk-based management plans geared toward risk reduction. In other words, it is an approach to the determination of imminent risk posed by a pollutant to the environmental proxies. Poor education and sensitization of the public on the causal effect of pollution have been identified as a leading cause of indiscriminate pollution of the environment.

Published: November 2019

Abstract
In this article, recent developments in microemulsion polymerization for polymeric particles preparation are summarized. Polymeric particles with hydrophilic, hydrophobic, and amphiphilic nature can be synthesized by means of microemulsion polymerization employing different formulations. The types, the amounts, and the nature of the used surfactant, solvent, and cosolvent (if any); mixing rate; temperature; the types and the amounts of cross‐linkers (if any); and the nature of monomers and polymers are very important parameters in microemulsion polymerization determining the size and the properties of polymeric particles. These parameters that are effective in the compartmentalization of the reaction medium and their effect on size of the prepared particles are summarized.
Polymer Reaction Engineering
Authors: Saldívar‐Guerra Enrique 
Published: November 2019

AbstractPolymer reaction engineering is a discipline that encompasses a set of principles and tools for the scaling up, design, analysis, control, troubleshooting, and optimization of industrial polymerization processes. Its tools are widely used in industry and are mainly taken from the fields of reaction kinetics, chemical reactor engineering, thermodynamics, physical chemistry, and applied mathematics. In this article, the basics to go from the polymerization reaction kinetics to reactor modeling are first introduced. Then, molecular weight distribution (MWDs) modeling tools are reviewed; these are classified and discussed as: analytical techniques, the method of moments, and numerical techniques for the complete MWD, covering both deterministic and stochastic methods. Next, the theoretical bases of copolymerization systems are discussed, including copolymerization models for copolymer composition and reactivity ratio estimation, to conclude with the discussion of the pseudo‐homopolymerization approach (or apparent rate constants method) for the modeling of the MWD in copolymerization systems. A section providing a general description of heterogeneous processes and their modeling is also included, covering the topics of population balance equations, suspension polymerization and emulsion polymerization. The article ends with a brief discussion of future perspectives in the field.

Published: November 2019

Cell surface translocation of the chaperone glucose‐regulated protein 78 kDa (GRP78) is a key event that promotes cancer cell survival during endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. Here, we identify Gα‐interacting vesicle‐associated protein (GIV) – an enhancer of prosurvival signaling during ER stress – as a binding partner of GRP78. We show that GIV and GRP78 interact in an ER stress‐dependent manner through their respective carboxyl terminal domains and that GIV aids in the localization of GRP78 to the plasma membrane. Kaplan–Meier analysis of disease‐free survival in cancer patients shows poor prognosis for patients with high expression of both GIV and GRP78, further suggesting a vital role for these two proteins in enhancing cancer cell viability.

The chromatin‐organizing factor CCCTC‐binding factor (CTCF) is involved in transcriptional regulation, DNA‐loop formation, and telomere maintenance. To evaluate the clinical impact of CTCF in prostate cancer, we analyzed CTCF expression by immunohistochemistry on a tissue microarray containing 17 747 prostate cancers. Normal prostate tissue showed negative to low CTCF expression, while in prostate cancers, CTCF expression was seen in 7726 of our 12 555 (61.5%) tumors and was considered low in 44.6% and high in 17% of cancers. Particularly, high CTCF expression was significantly associated with the presence of the transmembrane protease, serine 2:ETS‐related gene fusion: Only 10% of ERG‐negative cancers, but 30% of ERG‐positive cancers had high‐level CTCF expression (P < 0.0001). CTCF expression was significantly associated with advanced pathological tumor stage, high Gleason grade (P < 0.0001 each), nodal metastasis (P = 0.0122), and early biochemical recurrence (P < 0.0001). Multivariable modeling revealed that the prognostic impact of CTCF was independent from established presurgical parameters such as clinical stage and Gleason grade of the biopsy. Comparison with key molecular alterations showed strong associations with the expression of the Ki‐67 proliferation marker and presence of phosphatase and tensin homolog deletions (P < 0.0001 each). The results of our study identify CTCF expression as a candidate biomarker for prognosis assessment in prostate cancer.
