Public Education Under Attack: The Fight to Preserve the American Dream
Authors: Schlitz Haley 
Published: February 2025

Education is the cornerstone of opportunity in America. It builds pathways, changes lives, and holds the promise of a brighter future. For my family, it has been the bridge that carried us from the American Nightmare to the American Dream. But make no mistake: that bridge is under attack. Public education—the very foundation of opportunity in this country—is being dismantled before our eyes. Harmful policies, political agendas, and deliberate disinvestment threaten to sever that lifeline for millions of students. This is not just a political fight; it is deeply personal. As the descendant of both those who came to this country chasing the promise of Ellis Island and those who were brought here in the chains of slavery, I carry the weight of both the American Dream and the American Nightmare. Education has been central to my family’s story, helping us overcome systemic barriers, reclaim our voices, and demand our place in the nation’s progress. Now, as an attorney, an educator, and an advocate for education policy, I see the battles we face today as critical moments in the fight for justice and equity. Public education is not just a pathway to success; it is the backbone of democracy, the safeguard of opportunity, and the key to realizing our collective potential.

Breast cancer (BC) diagnosis and treatment can affect women both physically and psychologically. Women with BC undergo various painful and debilitating therapies as well as emotional trauma. Additionally, treatment modalities can bring about multiple changes, causing distress and alteration in one’s appearance. This study aimed to assess the psychological distress and body image disturbances after modified radical mastectomy (MRM) among BC survivors. Correlational research design was used to conduct this quantitative research. Survey was administered with closed ended questionnaires as method of data collection. Purpose sampling technique was employed to select the sample of study 50 (married=31, unmarried=19) breast cancer survivors. Three were two research instrument were used; DASS-21 (Henry & Crawford, 2005) and Body Image Scale ((Hopwood et al., 2001). Findings of study reveal that there is positive correlation between psychological distress and body image disturbance. Moreover, depression, anxiety and stress are the significant positive predictors of body image disturbance. BC survivors experience high rates of depression, anxiety, stress, and body image dissatisfaction. Furthermore, unmarried breast cancer survivors report higher score of psychological distress and body image disturbance as compared to married. Depression, anxiety, stress, and body image issues are common among BC survivors. Follow-up management plans for BC survivors should also include evaluation and treatment of psychological distress and addressing body image disturbances in patients undergoing mastectomy.
The Effect of Lactation Massage on Breast Milk Production in Postpartum Mothers at The PAMC Garut Clinic
Authors: Suryani Naning 
Published: February 2025

Mother's Breast milk is the best food for babies. Stage I breast milk starts from the first day to the fourth day which is colostrum. Colostrum is very important for the baby's body defense because colostrum is the first immunization for babies. Ideally, the breastfeeding process can be done as soon as the baby is born. However, the reality in the field shows that the production and ejection of breast milk is small in the first days, so that many mothers experience ineffectiveness in the breastfeeding process, which becomes an obstacle, namely low milk production. Lactation massage is a massage to stimulate the release of breast milk. Lactation massage can provide a feeling of comfort to post-partum mothers by providing a gentle touch to the mother through lactation massage which can stimulate the oxytocin reflex which can increase breast milk production. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of lactation massage on accelerating breast milk production in post-partum mothers. This research uses a qualitative method with a case study approach. The instrument that will be used in this research is an observation sheet to determine the acceleration of breast milk production by respondents. When compared to those who did not receive a massage for longer than two days, the respondent who received a massage produced more breast milk. Postpartum mothers are advised to use this technique to produce more breast milk.

Extension Advisory Services on Farmer’s Climate Change Mitigation Strategies in Misungwi District, Tanzania: Issues and Options
Authors: Samweli Sagire Nelson , Martin R. , Ntumva M. 
Published: February 2025

This study evaluates the impact of extension advisory services on farmers’ climate change mitigation strategies. Questionnaires were completed by 64 extension agents and data were analysed using descriptive statistics. The study found that the most common method used for identifying farmers’ climate change adaptation needs is extension agents visiting farmers (84.6%), followed by training sessions are less frequently used (26.2%), and other methods are rarely employed (1.5%). Insufficient training on climate change, with a frequency of 55, resource constraints, reported by around 49 respondents and limited access to climate information also stand out as a significant issue, with a frequency of about 41, and lastly knowledge barriers with 39 respondents were shown as the challenges encountered during dissemination of advisory services to farmers. This study revealed that majority (56.9%) of extension agents reported receiving transport facilities, while 41.5% had access to timely updated information. Though, only 18.5% of respondents indicated receiving regular training. This study concludes that the majority of extension agents have reported that they do not receive sufficient support in their efforts to educate farmers on how to adapt to climate change. The extension agents are not prepared to deal with the complexities of climate change, despite the fact that they rely on personal visits to capture the needs of the farmers. The low level of diversity engagement approaches, the low rates of hands-on training, and the moderate perceptions of comfort in communicating climate information are all indicators that this is the case. In addition, many extension agents believe that the increase of these concerns is caused by resource problems, which include inadequate access to timely information, inadequate training, and inadequate financial resources. This study recommends that the government should allocate enough resources aimed at supporting the extension agents in fulfilling their operations.
Current and future strategies for insomnia management
Authors: López-Ibor JJ 
Published: July 2002

SummaryDifferent forms of insomnia are present as symptoms of many psychiatric and other disorders. The first step for a treatment strategy is therefore a correct diagnosis. As insomnia is more common in patients with psychiatric disorders than in the general population, a careful consideration should be given, depressive and anxiety disorders should especially be carefully investigated. There are reasons to believe that even in so-called insomnia not obviously related to psychiatric disorders, stressful life situations may play a role. Therefore a co-morbidity with emotional disorders which may follow these events is worth considering. Insomnia should always be considered as pan of a sleep-wake schedule disturbance and this has an impact on the importance of the pharmacological properties of the drugs used to treat insomnia. The recent trend for more specific agents both on receptor sub-populations and on relevant sites of the GABA receptor complex will help very much in selecting the most appropriate drug for treating patients.

The teaching of evidence‐based reproductive health in developing countries
Authors: Olatunbosun O.A. , Edouard L. 
Published: July 2002

AbstractEvidence‐based medicine is gaining increased importance in clinical practice. Unfortunately, prevailing circumstances have prevented this application of the best available evidence to clinical decision‐making for reproductive health in developing countries. Poor infrastructure, inadequate personnel, gross underfunding of services for health and education as well as a conservative education system are obstacles in effecting change. By examining these impediments, we suggest strategies for clinical education and research with the aim of improving reproductive health care in developing countries. Evidence‐based reproductive health will be promoted through access to appropriate information, interest from government and consumers, curriculum changes, application of research findings and finally, the judicious use of its principles in clinical practice.
Superficial wound disruption after cesarean delivery: effect of the depth and closure of subcutaneous tissue
Authors: Cetin A. , Cetin M. 
Published: July 2002

AbstractObjective: The aim of this study was to determine the effect of the depth of subcutaneous tissue at the operative site and the closure of subcutaneous tissue on abdominal wound disruption after cesarean delivery. Methods: 164 women divided into two groups: 70 with subcutaneous tissue thickness of at least 2 cm and 94 with subcutaneous tissue thickness more than 2 cm. These groups were randomized to closure of the subcutaneous fat tissue or no closure with cesarean delivery. Results: In the 68 women with subcutaneous tissue thickness of at least 2 cm who completed the study, there was no difference between closure and no closure subgroups in terms of incidence of wound disruption. In 91 women with subcutaneous tissue thickness more than 2 cm who completed the study, the incidence of wound disruption was significantly higher in the no closure subgroup. In the no closure subgroup of 91 women with subcutaneous fat thickness more than 2 cm, the incidence of wound disruption was significantly higher than that of the 68 women with subcutaneous tissue thickness at least 2 cm. Conclusions: Subcutaneous tissue approximation with absorbable suture at closure of the abdominal incision during cesarean delivery appears to reduce the rate of postoperative wound disruption in patients with more than 2 cm of subcutaneous tissue.
Tissue reactions to particles of bone‐substitute materials in intraosseous and heterotopic sites in rats: discrimination of osteoinduction, osteocompatibility, and inflammation
Authors: Eid K. , Zelicof S. , Perona B. P. , Sledge C. B. , Glowacki J. 
Published: July 2002

AbstractTwo rat models were used to characterize tissue‐specific reactions to particles of bone‐substitute materials: one for osteocompatibility in a healing tibial wound and the other in a heterotopic, subcutaneous site. Small, unicortical tibial wounds in rats healed spontaneously, beginning with the rapid proliferation of intramedullary woven bone. That temporary bone was resorbed by osteoclasts and finally, the cortical wound was healed with lamellar bone and the medullary space was repopulated with marrow. When various particulate materials were implanted into fresh wounds, three types of reactions were observed. (1) Demineralized bone powder (DBP) and non‐resorbable calcium phosphate (nrCP) were incorporated into the reactive medullary and cortical bone. (2) Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) particles were surrounded with a fibrous layer, but did not impair bone healing. (3) Polyethylene (PE) shards and resorbable calcium phosphates (rCPs) were inflammatory and inhibited osseous repair.Subcutaneous sites showed osteoinductive, fibrotic, or inflammatory responses to these materials. Only DBP induced endochondral osteogenesis subcutaneously. The nrCP evoked a fibrous reaction. In contrast, rCPs, PMMA, and PE shards generated inflammatory reactions with each particle being surrounded by fibrous tissue and large multinucleated giant cells.In conclusion, only DBP showed osteoinductive as well as osteocompatible properties. The nrCP was osteocompatible. The rCPs stimulated various degrees of inflammatory responses. PMMA was osteocompatible and did not interfere with the bone healing process. PE was not osteocompatible and generated foreign body reactions in both sites. Use of the two sites distinguishes osteoinductive, osteocompatible, and inflammatory properties of particles of bone‐substitute materials. © 2001 Orthopaedic Research Society.

Persistent cerebellar deterioration in a patient with lobar pneumonia under lithium, carbamazepine, and trifluperidol treatment
Authors: Bischof F , Melms A , Fetter M 
Published: July 2002

SummaryWe report on a patient with schizoaffective disorder who was on combination therapy of lithium, carbamazepine, and the neuroleptic trifluperidol. He experienced a lobar pneumonia and developed an acute and persistent cerebellar deterioration which was most likely due to lithium toxicity, while the serum lithium level was within the therapeutic range. The combination of lithium, carbamazepine, and neuroleptics is common, and is generally considered to be safe. The reported case suggests that this regimen might increase the risk of intoxication with potentially disabling side-effects.

Published: October 2020

In the paper industry, chlorine is often used to treat the pulp for bleaching. After pulping, a large amount of xylan is present in the fiber. Xylanase can be used to degrade xylan in an eco‐friendly process called biobleaching, which can help minimize the usage of chlorine in the delignification process. However, a bottleneck in the adoption of biobleaching is the cost of xylanase and the requirement that xylanase be active and stable at extreme conditions. Here, we investigated whether using sodium alginate beads to immobilize an extracellular xylanase from Bacillus subtilis (Lucky9) can reduce the potential cost of enzyme usage. The optimal pH and the activity of the immobilized enzyme were increased at optimal temperature compared with the free enzyme. In addition, immobilized xylanase was shown to be more stable than free xylanase. The results of this study suggest that the immobilized xylanase has potential applications in the biobleaching industry.

Published: October 2020

AbstractMechanoluminescence (ML) is characterized by photon emission under mechanical action, which is promising for biomedical applications, such as stress sensing and artificial skin. However, the use of ML in deep tissues has encountered a bottleneck due to the need for contact excitation. In this paper, a magneto‐luminescence microdevice (MLMD) is devised to realize optical emission through non‐contact excitation of a rotating magnetic field. The MLMD is composed of ML materials (lanthanide‐doped CaZnOS crystals) and a magnet bar, in which the magnet bar can collect excitation energy of the magnetic field and then drive the ML materials to emit light by rotational motion. The optical emission of the MLMD is used to remotely stimulate two optogenetic models at different tissue depths, including subcutaneous photodynamic therapy of tumor and neuromodulation of behaving mice. This work establishes an innovative approach to achieve remote control of light delivery, which is expected to inspire new applications in biomedicine.

Published: October 2020

AbstractWounds, especially those caused by chronic diseases, are severe threats to human health. To facilitate their recovery, considerable efforts have been devoted to the generation of wound tissues and the detection of wound biomarkers. Here, an intelligent origami silk fibroin microneedle‐structured dressing (i‐SMD) with a smart drug release system, biochemical sensing, and physiological monitoring ability for epidermal sensing and wound healing, is presented. By utilizing temperature‐responsive N‐isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM) hydrogel and inverse opal (IO) photonic crystals (PCs) as a smart drug release system, controllable drug release is achieved on the i‐SMD. The patterned microfluidic channels on the i‐SMD and IO PCs enable the liquid to flow spontaneously in the channels, thereby achieving sensitive multiple biochemical analysis of inflammatory factors; meanwhile, microelectronic circuits integrated on the i‐SMD enable sensitive motion monitoring. Notably, the performance of i‐SMD in facilitating wound healing is demonstrated by treating full‐thickness cutaneous wounds in a diabetic mouse model, indicating the remarkable prospects of i‐SMD in wound management and other related biomedical fields.
