description: A Rutgers University based animal shelter designed to educate future pet owners of the responsibilities associated with pet ownership, with the goal of adopting out animals to committed, healthy, happy homes.
description: Millions of pets are surrendered to animal shelters each year because people don’t know what to do when animals display certain behaviors. Many pet owners are also unaware of the cost and time commitment of owning a pet, and this leads to animals being abandoned, abused, or put into a shelter. The goal of this project is to raise awareness of the importance of knowledge in regards to pet ownership. There are overwhelming numbers of cats, dogs, and other domesticated animals that are bought as companion animals in the United States. Unfortunately, many of these animals do not have the chance to live out fulfilling lives in the homes they were brought in to. Animals are often acquired on impulse or without sufficient knowledge of the animals needs. Rutgers University Rent-A-Pet is a theoretical solution to alleviating the increasing number of pet abandonments in the New Brunswick, New Jersey area. Rent-A-Pet offers prospective pet owners the option to “try out” the pet of their liking before making the commitment of adoption. Rent-A-Pet works with clients one-on-one to best match each animal to the person’s lifestyle. Basic informational seminars, reading material and classes about pet care are the basis of this program. Upon completion of the trial period, the client has the option to surrender, foster or adopt that animal. Pet education is the first and most important thing to have when considering pet adoption. As a service to the animal community, the founders of Rent-A-Pet volunteered their knowledge of responsible pet ownership to interested patrons and customers at several local pet stores near Rutgers University. This student run program will enable us to help prospective owners find a pet that best suits their lifestyle, and will help to place animals in their forever homes.

description: Tobacco smoking is one of the most significant health burdens in the country, and is the leading cause of preventable death worldwide. Steps need to be taken to reduce the negative impacts of tobacco usage on human lives. While there are a number of programs designed to reduce tobacco use through education and social awareness which have shown some efficacy, ultimately to achieve the greatest benefit, they need to be paired with better clinical options to combat addiction. Currently, we are limited by a lack of understanding of the basic biology of addiction, which makes us unable to target at-risk individuals to prevent the development of addiction.

 The most prominent scientific approach to understanding the source of variability in addiction susceptibility has been through genome-wide association studies (GWAS). These studies have provided a list of “risk factors” that make one more likely to develop addiction based on one’s genes. However, these results do not provide therapeutic potential to reduce the burden of addiction. A better approach would be, through basic neuroscience research, to understand why nicotine promotes addiction in some individuals and not in others.

 There are many environmental and social factors that contribute to addiction, including low socioeconomic status, and early life stressors. Here, I propose to investigate how early life stressors cause long-lasting changes in the brain that influence the initial response to nicotine later in life. Specifically, we will identify what in the brain is modified, where it is modified, and how it is modified. This information can in turn guide the development of better drugs and treatments to reduce tobacco use and increase the rate of smoking cessation.
Twoville: Programming with Time and Direct Manipulation

description: Designers interact with digital animation systems primarily through direct manipulation. They click and drag objects to set their properties at the current keyframe, scrub to the next keyframe, click and drag some more, and repeat until the animation is complete. While direct manipulation is a valuable and humane feature, it sometimes generates more labor than it saves. In particular, it’s a poor fit for animations of properties that are more easily computed than dragged to with a mouse. The alternative is indirect manipulation, in which the designer choreographs an animation through code. Animations expressed in code have several benefits: they are parameterizable, reusable, and transparent to the reader. In this paper, we describe Twoville, a language and development environment that supports both direct and indirect manipulation of 2D animations.

description: For our Breast Cancer and the Environment Workshop, community leaders, advocates, and researchers will inform the public about potential risks of environmental chemicals on breast cancer risk, actions they can take to minimize their risks, and how they can become involved to better their environment.
 The workshop begins with a knowledge survey with questions about breast cancer and the environment, research, advocacy, and health policy. The results will be displayed instantly; at the end, they will retake the survey so we can measure learning success and leave them with the take-home messages of the workshop. Short lectures will describe: important environmental exposures for breast cancer; types of research to identify what the chemicals do; ways to reduce exposure; and how individuals in the community can become involved to educate their communities and change policies. Interactive breakout sessions will be conducted in English, Spanish and Chinese. The workshop will end with lunch and networking. The target audience is a diverse racial and ethnic community of breast cancer survivors, researchers, advocates, public health and policy experts, and lay communities interested in the topic.
 This breast cancer and the environment workshop is unique because of interactions among researchers, advocates and lay communities who usually are not in the same learning environment. This advocate-led event will concentrate on interactive learning, while minimizing scientific jargon, with a goal of educating and encouraging attendees to make changes for a healthier lifestyle. We aim to build a foundation for future collaborations to better disseminate information to their communities and get the communities involved in advocating for their health.
 This workshop is being developed by community leaders and advocates. Our planning committee has met for the past 4 years to discuss results from environmental research, develop culturally and linguistically appropriate educational materials for communities, and create posters for community forums. They represent African-American, Chinese, Latina and non-Hispanic White breast cancer and/or community health groups. They are actively involved in planning this workshop by developing and implementing the agenda including speakers, materials, and resources, and including interpreters and transportation for their communities.

description: We aim to prevent irresponsible abandonment of pets that leads many problems by increasing awareness and educating future owners on what to expect when owning a pet
description: Pets are constantly being given up and abandoned for many different reasons.  These reasons are most usually associated with the pet owner not being aware of or not knowing what to expect and how to care for the animal.  Pet abandonment leads to overcrowding of animal shelters, animal abuse, increased puppy mill production, and the unnecessary death of innocent animals.  Our service project was aimed at educating future pet owners on the real responsibilities of owning a pet by taking a survey we created that indicates what pets are most compatible with their lifestyle.  As with many things in life, people often buy what they want rather than what is best for them, but we are hoping through awareness and our survey, a step can be taken in the right direction to give a pet owner both.

description: Many grocery stores sell locally produced foods, however, they do not advertise them as such.  Therefore, it is difficult for consumers to know where their food is coming from or if it is even locally produced.  Over the course of the semester we have researched the benefits and importance of purchasing and consuming locally grown products and supporting the local community farmers. Our mission is aimed at local grocery stores around Rutgers University in Middlesex County, NJ such as ShopRite and Stop n’ Shop. The overall goal is for these grocery stores to advertise their locally grown products by means of stickers, labels, or signs indicating these products are locally grown. To accomplish our mission, we have sent out proposals to these grocery stores around Rutgers asking them to advertise these community fresh products.

description: By making available an enticing substitute for shark fin soup, the need for shark finning may become obsolete
description: Due to increase of shark fin soup consumption in the Chinese culture, a large number of sharks are being killed by a form of illegal fishing called ‘shark finning’. Shark finning has been an issue since the late 1990s.   As a result, many species of sharks are on the brink of extinction. An unbalanced food chain forces underwater ecosystems into extreme crisis. When any one species becomes extinct, the final impact is on humans. That is why most countries try to protect sharks by banning shark finning. The global response on shark finning and efforts on making the global standard to prevent extinction of sharks are becoming more serious. Unfortunately, shark finning fishers are encouraged to continue because the value of shark fins is elevated. Less the shark population, higher the price it is. One pound of died shark fin is worth almost $300. To prevent sharks being killed, we need to replace the shark fin soup in Chinese weddings and other special occasions, with something that is worth enough to symbolize wealth like an expensive shark fin.

description: Evaluating Rutgers University’s laboratories energy consumption in order to identify overconsumption of electricity and developing ways to reduce overconsumption by consulting with the laboratory’s principal investigator.
description: Overconsumption of energy is a problem that many individuals overlook and a problem that needs to be addressed at Rutgers University.  With all the activities that occur on a daily basis at the University, energy may not be used responsibly and as efficiently as it should.   As a first step, it is imperative to monitor the energy consumption in buildings in order to make proper assessments.  Our group’s project proposes that individuals visit labs in order to gather data on the usage of the devices in the lab.  With this data an assessment of the laboratory’s energy consumption will be made.  This will be followed with a consultation with the laboratory’s principal investigator explaining to them any issues and problems with their devices and offering ways to improve the efficiency of their laboratory’s energy consumption.  For our service project our group was able to visit 20 labs at Foran Hall located on Cook Campus, and made an assessment of that laboratory’s electrical devices.  Upon completion of the visit, an assessment was made and we were able to consult the principal investigator on ways to improve their laboratories energy consumption efficiency.

description: DSLs can bring a lot of power to non-programming domains, notably with the ability to express generalized design processes instead of merely describing single instances, but the textual code interface presents a high learning curve compared to more discoverable GUIs. While our prior work explored a hybrid block diagram visualization and textual code interface for an electronics DSL, where edits on the visualization interface generate corresponding code, it focused on the overarching system and concept. In this work, we present a work-in-progress refinement on the editing interaction, where beyond just inserting code, we place a floating and movable block of code with fillable template fields to enable higher flexibility and capability. We additionally report on preliminary user observations and discuss open questions in making this interaction more robust and friendly to novice users.

description: Smoking tobacco dramatically increases the risk of developing cancers, including kidney cancer. In 2019, it was estimated that 74,000 Americans were newly diagnosed, and over 14,000 succumbed to the disease. In California, approximately 7,000 new cases of kidney cancer are diagnosed each year. Remarkably, one-third of patients will eventually experience dissemination of the disease to vital organs, such as the lungs. This condition is called metastasis, and once cancer progresses to this advanced stage, the 5-year survival rate becomes a mere 10%. To improve the deadly outcome of late-stage kidney cancer, we need to understand the cause of metastasis better and develop an effective treatment.

 Previous studies show that the most common subtype of kidney cancer (called clear cell renal cell carcinoma, or ccRCC for short) has a unique genetic signature, where greater than 70 percent cases have a mutation or deletion of the Von-Hippel Lindau (VHL) gene. Our group recently found that VHL plays an essential role in a completely new process of tumor dissemination. First, tumor cells are not uniform, and there are two distinct populations within a single tumor (VHL-positive and VHL-negative cells). Also, both of these cell types need to exist for tumor cells to develop lung metastasis. Therefore, we hypothesize that these subpopulations of cancer cells interact with each other to advance the disease. To test this hypothesis, the current TRDRP proposal aims to (1) highlight the essential crosstalk between the VHL-positive and VHL-negative cells, (2) discover a compound that can target either the essential interaction or the driver population, and (3) test the therapeutic potential of the compound. If successful, this proposal will negate the function of the metastatic driver population and halt lung metastasis. Through this research, we hope to bring long-term benefits for patients with metastasis, the known lethal stage of kidney cancer and many other solid tumors.

description: Approximately one of every three deaths from cardiovascular disease annually in California is attributed to cigarette smoking. E-cigarettes are marketed as healthier alternatives to cigarettes, and also as a means to assist with smoking cessation. However, the safety of e-cigarettes has not been well studied. Unfortunately, an E-cigarette or Vaping product use-associated Acute Lung Injury (EVALI) outbreak began in June 2019. So far, CDC fails to identify the components or chemicals that contribute to EVALI.

 Similar to tobacco cigarette smoke, e-cigarette aerosol also contains reactive aldehydes such as acrolein, acetaldehyde, and formaldehyde. Reactive aldehyde exposure can increase cellular oxidative stress, inflammation, and eventually lead to dysfunction of the inner most layer of the blood vessel (endothelium) and blood vessel (vascular) injury. However, how exposure to these reactive aldehydes alters the development of cardiovascular diseases is unknown. Additionally, about 1 million people in California and about 560 million people world-wide cannot efficiently metabolize the reactive aldehydes present in cigarettes and e-cigarettes due to a genetic variant in aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2), known as ALDH2-2. Therefore, the overall goal of this study is to determine how e-cigarette exposure affects endothelial dysfunction and vascular injury in rodents either with a typical ALDH2 enzyme or the ALDH2-2 variant. Using experimental rodent models, I will specifically determine: (Aim 1) the effects of reactive aldehydes, studied at levels found in e-cigarettes, on cellular injury in lung endothelial cells isolated from mice and (Aim 2) how e-cigarette exposure influences endothelial dysfunction and vascular injury in rodents.

 The outcomes of this study will provide insight into the effects of e-cigarette use in general on the vascular system in the lung, and more specifically how genetics may influence the detrimental effects of reactive aldehydes. Moreover, the knowledge gained from this study will raise awareness regarding the potential socioeconomic burden caused by e-cigarette vaping among the general population.

description: A massive amount of water is used from ground water sources called aquifers in the process of obtaining natural gas, fracking. This depletes local water supply for residents and can also contaminate groundwater with chemicals used in the fracking process. As our service project we are proposing an addition to the recent Pennsylvania tax proposal that would include a tax on water usage by natural gas companies. This would make them more conscious of their usage and possibly lower it or promote the recycling of their waste water. The income generated from this tax would go to the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection for oversight of this program and toward other environmentally friendly programs.

description: Lesson study, a collaborative teacher professional development process, affords teachers the opportunity to interact with their peers to analyze, reflect on, and revise their thinking in order to enhance their teaching practices. This case study described what occurred during a lesson study process, including the events that took place in four elementary and middle school mathematics classrooms, with a focus on planning, implementation, and reflection of teachers-both before and after the lesson- and on the ways in which their students solved mathematical problems. The goal of this study was to better understand how the teachers’ actions impacted the mathematical thinking that took place in their classrooms.  The following research questions guided this study:  1. What instructional and pedagogical decisions were made by the teachers prior to, during, and after each lesson implementation?   2. What types of interventions (including questions) and interactions with students were enacted by each teacher during his or her lesson implementation?              3. How did teachers’ actions and interactions with students impact the mathematical work and reasoning that took place in the classroom?   4. What evidence is there, if any, of teachers’ recognition of and reflection on their teaching practices, the lessons, and the students’ mathematical work?     The main source of data, the video tapes of the lesson implementations and the debriefing sessions, were used in order to identify, transcribe, and code critical events that occurred during the lessons and debriefing sessions. The coding, coupled with other data sources such as students’ work, was used to develop descriptive analyses of the lessons, teachers’ reflections, and the whole lesson study process. Collectively, these were used to answer the research questions.  The results of this study highlighted the importance of a) teachers’ autonomy-supportive behaviors in the classroom; b) teachers’ familiarity with a wide range of solution strategies for problem activities; c) opportunities for teachers to work collaboratively and to reflection on students’ mathematical work; and d) understanding the impact of the “in-the-moment” decisions that teachers make on student learning.   By examining the ways in which teachers’ actions impacted students’ learning during the lesson study process, this study has implications for designing professional development programs that are potentially effective in helping teachers become reflective practitioners.

The School of Nursing: Impact & Innovation. A Compendium of Effective PracticeArticle Ten: Pedagogical Approaches and Recommendations for Supporting International Students in Higher EducationIntroductionOver the past few decades, there has been a substantial increase in the number of students pursuing international studies. Higher education institutions in nations including the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia, as well as other sections of Asia and the Middle East, have developed several techniques to attract international students (Kearney and Lincoln, 2017; Wen and Hu, 2019; Darling-Hammond, 2020). While this diversification brings numerous benefits, such as cultural exchange and a broader worldview, it also presents unique challenges, both pedagogical and cultural (Anderson et al., 2001). To address these challenges, universities have established support services and revised procedures related to education, learning, and engagement (Ramachandran, 2011). We should design pedagogical approaches for international students that cater to the unique needs and challenges they might encounter while studying abroad.Innovation & Impact: To access other articles in the Collection visit: https://doi.org/10.25416/NTR.c.7227298Compendium: DOI: 10.25416/NTR.25795573

Investigating the cell of origin for hepatocellular carcinoma

description: Hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) is the most prevalent form of primary liver cancers. In the U.S., Hispanics, Asians, and Blacks are the most affected, altogether representing 60% of the entire U.S. population with HCC. The burden of HCC falls heaviest on California, where the three ethnic groups constitute more than 50% of the state population.
 Tobacco is one of the identified risk factors of HCC. As a major detox organ, liver metabolizes the toxins produced from smoking. Liver is a regenerative organ, and will attempt to repair itself upon liver damage from smoking. When the liver exhausts itself of its regenerative capacity, it turns fibrotic—a condition called cirrhosis. Smoking accelerates cirrhosis, and clinical studies have shown that smokers with existing liver conditions are more likely to develop HCC than the non-smokers. Here, my goal is to detect the individuals at high risk for HCC and treat those who have already developed HCC.
 To better diagnose and treat HCC, we need to investigate where and how HCC initiates. Studies suggest that the cells that drive liver regeneration during injury are likely the source for HCC (a.k.a. the cell-of-origin for HCC). Recent findings suggest that the hepatocytes, which are primarily responsible for liver regeneration, may be the cell-of-origin for HCC. In particular, I am interested in determining whether there is a specific subgroup within the hepatocytes that are more likely to promote HCC than the rest of the liver cell population. Our lab has previously identified a rare hepatocyte population that expresses high level of telomerase, an enzyme that is highly associated with cancer and stem cells. These TERT-high hepatocytes are distributed throughout the mouse liver, and drive liver regeneration during everyday stress and long-term injury. Here, I will test whether these rare hepatocytes are the cell-of-origin for HCC and if so, investigate how they give rise to HCC. In addition, I will develop novel cell markers to determine whether cell-of-origin also exists in human liver. By identifying and investigating the cell-of-origin for HCC, I aim to contribute to the ongoing efforts in early liver cancer detection and treatment.
