description: The European Human Biomonitoring Initiative (HBM4EU) assessed human biomonitoring data on phthalates in children and adolescents, that were sampled between 2014 and 2021, in a harmonised way. These so-called "HBM4EU Aligned Studies" revealed that almost all children and adolescents were exposed to multiple phthalates concurrently. Some phthalates have been shown to act in a dose-additive manner, thus, a mixture risk assessment is warranted. In our study, we determine the risk from combined exposure to five anti-androgenic phthalates, namely DEHP, DiBP, DnBP, BBzP and DiNP by making use of the hazard index (HI) approach. Toxicologically-based human biomonitoring guidance values (HBM-GVs) derived within the framework of HBM4EU served as basis. Our results show that exposures of 17% of children and adolescents from twelve European countries resulted in hazard indices (HI)>1 with an HI of 1.77 at the 95th percentile (geometric mean, GM=0.44). Main drivers for the mixture risk are DnBP and DiBP. Generalized Linear Model (GLM) analysis including four major exposure determinants (age, sex, European region, sampling year) simultaneously reveal differences for the European regions and between sampling years. Children and adolescents living in the Eastern region of Europe have on average, higher HIs (GM=0.58) than in the Southern region (GM=0.36) and Western region (GM=0.42). Moreover, participants from which urine samples were taken in the earlier years (2014-2016) seem to have higher average HI levels than participants from studies with later sampling periods. Strikingly, the majority (63%) of participants with HIs>1 would have gone unnoticed in single substance risk assessments as individual phthalates levels were below corresponding HBM-GVs. Thus, our results underline the importance of mixture risk assessment approaches to adequately address risks from concurrent chemical exposure. © 2022 Published by Elsevier GmbH.

description: The purpose of this study was to determine if there was an effect on first grade student
behavior based on the amount of break time they were given throughout the day. Break time in
these instances was considered to be recess or cultural arts time such as physical education or art.
Data was collected over a three month time period to see if there was a correlation between
student behavior and the amount of break time they were given throughout the day. The
participants in this study were twenty first grade students who were in the same general
education classroom. Analysis of the data suggested there was not a significant relationship
between student behavior in first grade and the loss of break time during the school day.

description: This descriptive research paper investigates general characteristics of at-risk populations, the extent and effect of the U.S. dropout epidemic, and how alternative learning environments can effectively address individual, family, peer, school, and community needs of students at-risk of academic failure. Ten to twenty percent of adolescents in this nation are considered at-risk of not graduating high school or obtaining the necessary skills to become productive citizens. Large, traditional school environments may have contributed to this failure because of the challenges they face in differentiating instruction for each student and the pressure to achieve state and federal performance standards. Alternative learning environments have become an increasingly popular option for students who struggle to find success in traditional settings. However, these environments have their own challenges. Findings in this study are supported by interviews with students and faculty from two alternative learning environments in rural New Hampshire. It compares how a private alternative boarding school, Oliverian School, and a public charter school, Ledyard Charter School, address the needs of targeted populations. These schools have small student-teacher ratios, dedicated staff, focused school mission, flexible curriculum. By connecting education to real-world scenarios they promote confidence building and academic achievement.

description: The purpose of this study was to determine whether the repetitive reading strategy would have
positive effects on the reading fluency of first graders. The Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early
Literacy Skills was used as a measurement tool. The study used a pretest and posttest design.
First grade students were given the DIBELS assessment in January 2011 for the pretest, and the
posttest was given in May 2011. Students did make gains in reading fluency, though there are
other factors to be considered. Fluency research should continue to determine whether the
repetitive reading strategy would work for all age groups.

description: In the present climate emergency due to global warming, we are urged to move away from fossil fuels and pursue a speedy conversion to renewable energy systems. Consequently, copper (Cu) will remain in high demand because it is a highly efficient conductor used in clean energy systems to generate power from solar, hydro, thermal and wind energy across the world. Chile is the global leader in copper production, but this position has resulted in Chile having several hundred tailing deposits. We grew two Chilean native hardwood species, quillay (Quillaja saponaria Molina) and espino (Vachellia caven (Molina) Seigler & Ebinger, under three increasing Cu levels (0, 50, and 100 µM) for 6 months in a greenhouse setting. We measured growth, photosynthetic performance and elemental contents of leaves and roots to further evaluate their potential for phytoremediation. Growth of quillay was unaffected by Cu treatment but growth of espino was enhanced, as was its photosynthetic performance, indicating that espino may have an unusually high requirement for copper. Excess Cu was mostly restricted to the roots of both species, where X-ray fluorescence (XRF) mapping indicated some tendency for Cu to accumulate in tissues outside the periderm. Calcium oxalate crystals were prominently visible in XRF images of both species. Nickel (but not Cu) showed a concurrent distribution pattern with these crystals.

description: Brain size and IQ are positively correlated. However, multiple meta-analyses have led to considerable differences in summary effect estimations, thus failing to provide a plausible effect estimate. Here we aim at resolving this issue by providing the so far largest meta-analysis and systematic review about the brain volume and IQ association (86 studies; 454 effect sizes from k = 194 independent samples; N = 26 000+) in three cognitive ability domains (full-scale, verbal, performance IQ). By means of competing meta-analytical approaches as well as combinatorial and specification curve analyses, we show that most reasonable estimates for the brain size and IQ link yield r-values in the mid-0.20 s, with the most extreme specifications yielding rs of 0.10 and 0.37. Summary effects appeared to be somewhat inflated due to selective reporting, and cross-temporally decreasing effect sizes indicated a confounding decline effect, with three quarters of the summary effect estimations according to any reasonable specification not exceeding r = 0.26, thus contrasting effect sizes observed in some prior related, but individual, meta-analytical specifications. Brain size and IQ associations yielded r = 0.24, with the strongest effects observed for more g-loaded tests and in healthy samples that generalize across participant sex and age bands.
Openness, transformational leadership, and individual change readiness

description: (M.S.) -- Towson University, 2015
description: This study tested the effects of openness and transformational leadership on individual change readiness. Undergraduate students (N=84) were tested using an adaptation of Morizot’s the Big Five Personality Trait Short Questionnaire (2014). Participants were given a change scenario on the day of the experiment, either with a condition of transformational leadership or no transformational leadership. Then participants completed an adaptation of the Work Preferences Index and Change Assessment survey in order to establish a readiness score. Multiple regression analysis found the overall model of predictors of openness, leadership condition, and the interaction of the two predicted individual change readiness. Openness scores positively predicted readiness scores, but there were no other significant main effects or interaction effects. Problems with the validity of the leadership variable could explain theses outcomes.

description: Background Evidence continues to show that young people, ages 15-24, remain at significant risk of harms from non-medical opioid use and opioid use disorder (OUD), with experts calling for widespread implementation of developmentally-appropriate interventions. These recommendations include the involvement of caregivers in the prevention, early intervention, and treatment of young people using opioids. However, little research has investigated caregivers’ experiences supporting young people, leaving critical gaps in understanding this role. The aim of this study is to explore caregivers’ experiences accessing opioid use treatments with young people and their needs and ideas for improving such treatments. Methods This study reports qualitative findings from Phase 1 of the Improving Treatment Together project, a multi-phase, multi-site community-based participatory study broadly aimed at co-designing opioid use treatments to improve the experiences and outcomes of young people using non-medical opioids. During Phase 1, a total of 27 caregivers (parents, guardians) participated in full-day workshops that were conducted in three communities in British Columbia, Canada. Following human-centred co-design methods, caregivers engaged in small and large group discussions of their experiences, needs, and ideas for improving opioid use treatments for young people. Discussions were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim, and thematically analysed. Results Across communities, caregivers’ main experiences were defined as ‘becoming our young people’s case managers’ and ‘enduring a never-ending rollercoaster’. To improve these experiences, two needs themes were identified – expanding organizational and system-level capacity and wider-spread understanding of opioid use as a health issue. Caregivers brainstormed a total of 378 individual ideas to meet these needs, several of which spanned multiple needs themes. Conclusions Caregivers’ experiences, needs, and ideas reveal critical opportunities for improving the quality of interventions for opioid use among young people. This study represents a substantial contribution to the design and implementation of developmentally-appropriate and family-centred interventions for young people using opioids.

description: Diffusely infiltrative low-grade gliomas (LGG) are primary brain tumours that arise predominantly in the cerebral hemispheres of younger adults. LGG can display either astrocytic or oligodendroglial histology and do not express malignant histological features. Vast majority of LGG are unified by IDH mutations. Other genomic features including ATRX as well as copy number status of chromosomes 1p and 19q serve to molecularly segregate this tumor group. Despite the exponential gains in molecular profiling and understanding of LGG, survival rates and treatment options have stagnated over the past few decades with few advancements. In this study, we utilize low grade glioma RNA-seq data from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA-LGG) and tandem mass-spectrometry on an in-house cohort of 54 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) LGG specimens to investigate the transcriptomic and proteomic profiles across the three molecular subtypes of LGG (Type I: IDH mutant – 1p19q co-deleted, Type II: IDH mutant – 1p19q retained, Type III: IDH wildtype). Within the 3 LGG subtypes, gene expression was driven heavily by IDH mutation and 1p19q co-deletion. In concordance with RNA expression, we were able to identify decreased expressions of proteins coded in 1p19q in Type I LGG. Further proteomic analysis identified 54 subtype specific proteins that were used to classify the three subtypes using a multinomial regression model (AUC = 0.911). Type I LGG were found to have increased protein expression of several metabolic proteins while Type III LGG were found to have increased immune infiltration and inflammation related proteins. Here we present the largest proteomic cohort of LGG and show that proteomic profiles can be successfully analyzed from FFPE tissues. We uncover previously known and novel subtype specific markers that are useful for the proteomic classification of LGG subtypes.

description: Research Background: New materialist and ecocritical theorists including Jane Bennett, Donna Haraway, Karen Barad, Rosi Braidotti and Deborah Bird Rose challenge the Western binary between human and nonhuman and its effects on relations of power, agency, narrative and voice. What are the implications for creative arts practice? My research asks: how can place-based creative arts practice engaged with new materialist theory unsettle the hierarchies of human and nonhuman, and how can the formal properties of the literary essay be extended to account for this? Research Contribution: This essay narrates and reflects upon a series of encounters with creative arts researchers on an experimental fieldtrip at Pound Bend, outside Melbourne, observing how divergent creative practices-film-making, photography, sound recording and speculative design-are deployed in experiments of 'thinking through making' (Ingold). It contributes to literary nonfiction practice by testing how a cool formal narrative affect akin to Borges or Calvino might create an effect of disembodied ('posthuman') distance in a braided essay (Walker). In so doing, it considers self-reflexively the ironies inherent in settler researchers conducting 'explorations' on unceded Indigenous land, and opens up further space for public conversation on processes of 'unsettling.' Research Significance: This essay was selected for publication in the Sydney Review of Books' 'New Nature' series. The SRB's mission is to 'publish longform criticism and essays by Australia's best critics, writers and thinkers.' Funded by Create NSW, the New Nature series features leading writers including Delia Falconer, Evelyn Araluen, James Bradley, Julie Koh and Alexis Harley. SRB editor Dr Catriona Menzies-Pike wrote, of 'Fieldwork': "It's exactly the kind of thing I have been seeking to include: experimental, searching, attuned to the particular challenges of writing about the Australian landscape."
Ekphrasis Poetry Folio (2017-19) - Bonny Cassidy
Creators: name: Cassidy, Bonny
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024
Subjects: classificationCode: 360201
subject: Creative writing (incl. scriptwriting)

description: Background - This folio represents my ongoing practice in ekphrasis poetry. My three books have all engaged in this field; this folio presents new works produced under new influences in the Asia Pacific. The critical questions that drive these poems, are: How do poetics and text make a critical interpretation of visual language? How does this mode of writing operate in a cross-cultural context? Contribution - My earlier ekphrasis poetry engaged with painting, photography and film. This folio shows a departure by responding to other visual forms and cultural encounters. 'Shields', 'Ghostin' and 'Intangible asset' were written during a two-way residency between Seoul and Melbourne with three South Korean poets. These poems respond to their narration of South Korean cultural history through the imagery of artefacts we viewed. 'Password' approaches the inter-cultural encounter through the Western tourist's gaze. It replies to classic Hindu temple iconography statuary by adopting a one-way narration of imaginary history and suggesting that the orientalist gaze can only project itself. 'Bother' inverts this position by inhabiting the aesthetic of Aotearoa jewellery designer Lisa Walker, which reclaims waste materials into 'readymade' artefacts; my poem focuses on the agency of the creative vision to make meaning regardless of audience assumptions. Significance - The significance of my ekphrasis poetry has been recognised most recently through two invitations by Writers Victoria to lead public workshops on this method. 'Shields', 'Ghostin' and 'Intangible asset' were commissioned by Westerly journal (Dec 2017). 'Password' is published in local ecopoetics journal, Plumwood Mountain (Feb, 2018), distributed online to national and international readers. 'Bother' was written and performed upon invitation by the RMIT Design Hub as part of the landmark Lisa Walker survey exhibition (March, 2019). A recording of the performance was installed and is now archived online.

description: Abstract: Background. The revised 8th Edition American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) Head and Neck Staging Manual distinguishes HPV-mediated from non-HPV-mediated oropharyngeal cancer (OpSCC). The objective was to analyze OpSCC treatment modalities and outcomes. Methods A retrospective study of OpSCC patients treated with radiotherapy or chemoradiotherapy between January 1st, 2000, and December 31st, 2008, as identified from the BC Cancer Registry. All patients received treatment at cancer clinics and had at least 5 years follow-up post-treatment. A total of 1259 OpSCC patients were identified. After initial chart reviews, 288 patients were excluded from further analysis and the majority (n = 198) was due to not receiving curative treatment. Based on the availability of formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue, patients were divided into two cohorts: Study Cohort (FFPE available, n = 244) and General Cohort (FFPE unavailable, n = 727). The Study Cohort was restaged according to AJCC 8th Edition based on p16 immunohistochemistry status. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to estimate the 5-year overall survival (OS), disease-specific survival (DSS), and locoregional recurrence-free survival (LFS). Results Among 971 patients, OpSCC age-adjusted incidence rate was observed to have increased from 2.1 to 3.5 per 100,000 between 2000 and 2008. The General Cohort was relatively older than the Study Cohort (60.1 ± 10.5 vs. 57.3 ± 9.4), but both cohorts were predominantly males (78.3% vs. 76.2%). Amongst the Study Cohort, 77.5% were p16-positive, of whom 98.4% were down staged in the 8th Edition. These early-stage patients showed OS improvement for those treated with chemoradiation, compared to radiation alone (85.8% vs. 73.1%, p = 0.05). Conclusions OpSCC incidence is increasing in BC. The addition of chemotherapy to radiotherapy may portend a benefit in OS even for early-stage p16-positive OpSCC. Additional research is necessary to assess the safety of treatment de-escalation even among early-stage disease.

description: Datasets are sometimes divided into distinct subsets, e.g. due to multi-center sampling, or to variations in instruments, questionnaire item ordering or mode of administration, and the data analyst then needs to assess whether a joint analysis is meaningful. The Principal Component Analysis-based Data Structure Comparisons (PCADSC) tools are three new non-parametric, visual diagnostic tools for investigating differences in structure for two subsets of a dataset through covariance matrix comparisons by use of principal component analysis. The PCADCS tools are demonstrated in a data example using European Social Survey data on psychological well-being in three countries, Denmark, Sweden, and Bulgaria. The data structures are found to be different in Denmark and Bulgaria, and thus a comparison of for example mean psychological well-being scores is not meaningful. However, when comparing Denmark and Sweden, very similar data structures, and thus comparable concepts of well-being, are found. Therefore, inter-country comparisons are warranted for these countries.

description: We propose zero-inflated statistical models based on the generalized Hermite distribution for simultaneously modelling of excess zeros, over/underdispersion, and multimodality. These new models are parsimonious yet remarkably flexible allowing the covariates to be introduced directly through the mean, dispersion, and zero-inflated parameters. To accommodate the interval inequality constraint for the dispersion parameter, we present a new link function for the covariate-dependent dispersion regression model. We derive score tests for zero inflation in both covariate-free and covariate-dependent models. Both the score test and the likelihood-ratio test are conducted to examine the validity of zero inflation. The score test provides a useful tool when computing the likelihood-ratio statistic proves to be difficult. We analyse several hotel booking cancellation datasets extracted from two recently published real datasets from a resort hotel and a city hotel. These extracted cancellation datasets reveal complex features of excess zeros, over/underdispersion, and multimodality simultaneously making them difficult to analyse with existing approaches. The application of the proposed methods to the cancellation datasets illustrates the usefulness and flexibility of the models.

description: Background Integrated youth services (IYS) provide multidisciplinary care (including mental, physical, and social) prioritizing the needs of young people and their families. Despite a significant rise in emergency department (ED) visits by young Canadians with mental health and substance use (MHSU) concerns over the last decade, there remains a profound disconnect between EDs and MHSU integrated youth services. The first objective of this study was to better understand the assessment, treatment, and referral of young people (ages 12–24 years) presenting to the ED with MHSU concerns. The second objective was to explore how to improve the transition from the ED to IYS for young people with MHSU concerns. Methods We conducted semi-structured one-on-one video and phone interviews with stakeholders in British Columbia, Canada in the summer of 2020. Snowball sampling was utilized, and participants (n = 26) were reached, including ED physicians (n = 6), social workers (n = 4), nurses (n = 2), an occupational therapist (n = 1); a counselor (n = 1); staff/leadership in IYS organizations (n = 4); mental health/family workers (n = 3); peer support workers (n = 2), and parents (n = 3). A thematic analysis (TA) was conducted using a deductive and inductive approach conceptually guided by the Social Ecological Model. Results We identified three overarching themes, and factors to consider at all levels of the Social Ecological Model. At the interpersonal level inadequate communication between ED staff and young people affected overall care and contributed to negative experiences. At the organizational level, we identified considerations for assessments and the ED and the hospital (wait times, staffing issues, and the physical space). At the community level, the environment of IYS and other community services were important including wait times and hours of operation. Policy level factors identified include inadequate communication between services (e.g., different charting systems and documentation). Conclusions This study provides insight into important long-term systemic issues and more immediate factors that need to be addressed to improve the delivery of care for young people with MHSU challenges. This research supports intervention development and implementation in the ED for young people with MHSU concerns.

description: In cluster-randomized trials, investigators randomize clusters of individuals such as households, medical practices, schools or classrooms despite the unit of interest are the individuals. It results in the loss of efficiency in terms of the estimation of the unknown parameters as well as the power of the test for testing the treatment effects. To recoup this efficiency loss, some studies pair similar clusters and randomize treatment within pairs. However, the clusters within a treatment arm might be heterogeneous in nature. In this article, we propose a locally optimal design that accounts the clusters heterogeneity and optimally allocates the subjects within each cluster. To address the dependency of design on the unknown parameters, we also discuss Bayesian optimal designs. Performances of proposed designs are investigated numerically through some data examples.

description: Energy dissipation in collisionless plasmas is one of the most outstanding open questions in plasma physics. Magnetic reconnection and turbulence are two phenomena that can produce the conditions for energy dissipation. These two phenomena are closely related to each other in a wide range of plasmas. Turbulent fluctuations can emerge in critical regions of reconnection events, and magnetic reconnection can occur as a product of the turbulent cascade. In this study, we perform 2D particle-in-cell simulations of a reconnecting Harris current sheet in the presence of turbulent fluctuations to explore the effect of turbulence on the reconnection process in collisionless non-relativistic pair-plasmas. We find that the presence of a turbulent field can affect the onset and evolution of magnetic reconnection. Moreover, we observe the existence of a scale dependent amplitude of magnetic field fluctuations above which these fluctuations are able to disrupt the growing of magnetic islands. These fluctuations provide thermal energy to the particles within the current sheet and preferential perpendicular thermal energy to the background population.

description: Datasets are sometimes divided into distinct subsets, e.g. due to multi-center sampling, or to variations in instruments, questionnaire item ordering or mode of administration, and the data analyst then needs to assess whether a joint analysis is meaningful. The Principal Component Analysis-based Data Structure Comparisons (PCADSC) tools are three new non-parametric, visual diagnostic tools for investigating differences in structure for two subsets of a dataset through covariance matrix comparisons by use of principal component analysis. The PCADCS tools are demonstrated in a data example using European Social Survey data on psychological well-being in three countries, Denmark, Sweden, and Bulgaria. The data structures are found to be different in Denmark and Bulgaria, and thus a comparison of for example mean psychological well-being scores is not meaningful. However, when comparing Denmark and Sweden, very similar data structures, and thus comparable concepts of well-being, are found. Therefore, inter-country comparisons are warranted for these countries.
New records and two new species of Grimpoteuthis (Octopoda: Cirrata: Grimpoteuthididae) from southern Australia and New Zealand

description: New deep-sea cirrate octopuses (Octopoda: Cirrata) are reported from around Australia and New Zealand. The limited collections comprise three species, one that is for the first time reported from Australian waters, and one from each of Australia and New Zealand that we deem to be new to science. Taxonomic instability and regional taxonomic novelty preclude the unambiguous attribution of any species to genus. While we consider no species to be sibling, or even closely related, each is attributed to Grimpoteuthis: G. greeni n. sp., based on three specimens from southern Australia; G. angularis n. sp., based on a single specimen from New Zealand; and the first male specimen of G. abyssicola O’Shea, 1999, formerly known from the central Tasman Sea, which we describe and extend the distribution of into Australian waters. Relationships between these taxa and others provisionally attributed to the Grimpoteuthididae O’Shea, 1999 are evaluated and based primarily on the morphology of the shell, and secondarily on that of the gill, we propose a preliminary division of Grimpoteuthis sensu lato into three sensu lato morphologies.

description: Substrate variety and host preference of the epizoic limpet Lottia tenuisculpta were investigated based on specimen and field observations. Specimen observation revealed the presence of the limpet on 33 species of Mollusca and two species of Crustacea, and it predominantly used Tegulidae and Muricidae throughout its geographic range. Some of the substrate molluscs had radula traces and home scars probably engraved by L. tenuisculpta. Field observations conducted on the rocky shore of Shirahama, Wakayama, Japan, revealed the presence of L. tenuisculpta on 12 species of molluscs. The tegulid Omphalius nigerrimus and the muricid Reishia clavigera were its major substrates in the locality. The results of both sets of observations suggest that L. tenuisculpta is a host-general facultative epizoite and its host preference is family-specific. The choice of host species by L. tenuisculpta might be determined by the abundance and morphological and biological restrictions of the preferred substrates in each locality. The host-general and facultative nature of the limpet allows it to show geographical host conversion and contribute to favouring epizoic behaviour. Home scars of L. tenuisculpta on the hosts suggest that the limpet inhabits the same individual of the substrate species for an extended period.

description: A new tateid genus, Ngalidrobia n. gen., containing six new species, is described from groundwater sampled from wells in the Ngalia Basin in the Northern Territory, Australia. The new species differ in their shell morphology which ranges from near planispiral to conical. Of these species, two live in sympatry in one location, the remainder being allopatric. Of the named tateid genera, Ngalidrobia is, on the basis of molecular results using three partial sequences (cytochrome c oxidase subunit I, and 16S and 28S ribosomal RNA), most closely related to Trochidrobia from artesian springs in northern South Australia.
