description:
Intimate partner violence (IPV) has been implicated in HIV acquisition and worse HIV outcomes. Limited research focuses on the experiences of Black gay and bisexual men. Using data from cross-sectional surveys in Baltimore, Maryland, and Jackson, Mississippi, we analyzed the association between IPV victimization and HIV-related outcomes among 629 adult Black gay and bisexual men, among whom 53% self-reported a negative result at last HIV test. 40% of participants reported lifetime physical, sexual, and/or psychological IPV victimization, and 24% past-year victimization. Recent and lifetime IPV were associated with recent clinical diagnosis of STI (adjPrR: 1.44; 95%CI: 1.08–1.92) and ART medication interruptions (adjPrR: 1.59; 95%CI: 1.25–2.01), respectively. Physical IPV was inversely associated with current PrEP use (adjPrR: 0.35; 95%CI: 0.13–0.90). Recent IPV was independently correlated with depression symptomatology (adjPrR: 2.36; 95%CI: 1.61–3.47) and hazardous alcohol use (adjPrR: 1.93; 95%CI: 1.42–2.61), with evidence of interactions. IPV-HIV relationships were intersected by internalized stigma, housing instability, poverty, and lack of insurance. Tailored IPV services are urgently needed for comprehensive HIV services for Black gay and bisexual men in the U.S.

Year: 2017

description: This year, we chose the colours orange and pink—often associated with femininity and consequently disapproved of or overlooked in the still male-dominated world of academia. By binding undergraduate scholarship in such a ‘feminine’ style choice, we aim to subvert notions of what is ‘taken seriously’ in terms of presentation. More substantially, the papers presented in this publication all aim to interrogate power relations and their social impact, allowing us to showcase a comprehensive set of contemporary issues. Internationally, Erpilla conducts ethnographic research in Guatemala on commercialisation, and Wang interviews Singaporean citizens who participated in the authoritarian regime’s nascent LGBT movement. Cederberg highlights the racially-driven tension between law enforcement and African American men in the United States, focusing on the notorious example of the murder of Michael Brown, while Savoia explores the discourse surrounding rape myths in online commentary. Locally, McKelvie criticises the stigmatisation of (dis)ability with reference to the medico-legal history of institutionalisation in British Columbia. Also in Canada, Ho explores the treatment of physician-assisted suicide in the Canadian legal landscape, and Slobin explores the multiplicity of ways that urban Indigenous women resist dominant representations of their personhood through creative mediums.

description:
Black boys have been dying by suicide at an increasing rate. Although the reasons for this increase are unknown, suicide in Black boys is likely influenced by multiple, intersecting risk factors, including historical and ongoing trauma. Schools can serve as an important mechanism of support for Black boys; however, without intentional anti-racist frameworks that acknowledge how intersecting identities can exacerbate risk for suicide, schools can overlook opportunities for care and perpetuate a cycle of racism that compromises the mental health of Black youth. By recognizing their own implicit biases, modeling anti-racist practices, listening to and recognizing the strengths and diversity of Black youth, and fostering school-family-community partnerships, school psychologists can help transform the school environment to be a safe and culturally affirming place for Black youth. This paper outlines how school psychologists can apply a trauma- and Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (JEDI)-informed approach to suicide prevention in order to more holistically support Black boys, disrupt patterns of aggressive disciplinary procedures, and improve school-based suicide prevention programs. By applying this lens across a multitiered systems of support (MTSS) framework, school psychologists can help to prevent the deaths of Black boys and begin to prioritize the lives of Black boys.
African-American Males and Psychological Safety in Workplaces and Communities During the COVID-19 Pandemic and Beyond

description:
Psychological safety is crucial for positive community and workplace cultures, especially for workers of diverse communities, including African Americans, in periods of crisis. This qualitative study examined Black men's lived experiences with psychological safety in their communities and workplaces relative to the recent environment of biological and social pandemics. The study confirmed some collective phenomena, particularly exhibiting the need for managers to understand, respect, and value that Black male employees' specific experiences are different in ways that often do not allow them to divorce themselves from their experiences with racism stereotypes and racial profiling when they enter the workplace.
Denigrating Women, Venerating “Chad”: Ingroup and Outgroup Evaluations among Male Supremacists on Reddit
Creators: name: Furl, Katherine
Publisher: name: SAGE Publications
Year: 2022

description:
Can negative evaluations of a broad outgroup paired with positive evaluations of a broad ingroup, sustain willing affiliation with even intensely self-derogating online communities? Synthesizing concepts from masculinities scholarship, social identity theory, and self-verification theory, this study compares language from two distinctive misogynist communities active on Reddit.com —Men Going Their Own Way, male separatists who positively frame members as superior to other men and men as superior to women, and Involuntary Celibates (incels), who openly derogate incel community members—to understand what sustains misogynist incels’ willing affiliation with the self-derogating incel community. Using thematic qualitative analysis, I find that while male separatists favor both their own narrower online community and the broader ingroup of men, misogynist incels engage in a patriarchal bargain, using relatively benevolent depictions of some men alongside negative depictions of all women to perpetuate broader gender inequality.

description: Abstract

Since the eyes are protected by a special architecture and physiology, the transport of medications administered using conventional dosage forms is restricted to the eye, and therapeutic drug concentrations in the target tissues are not sustained for an extended period of time. Various droppable items to extend the retention duration on the ocular surface have been introduced to the market for the treatment of the anterior portion of the eye. For the treatment of chronic vitreoretinal disorders, direct intravitreal implants made of biodegradable or non-biodegradable polymers have been extensively studied. The treatment of chronic diseases urgently requires the development of ocular drug delivery systems that offer controlled release and promote patient and physician convenience while lowering the frequency of dosage and intrusive treatment. This article reviews the development of ocular medication delivery systems that are now through clinical trials and late stages of experimentation.

description: This deliverable summarises the activities of the Training Work Package (WP4) of the PRACE Second Implementation Phase (PRACE-2IP) project, from 1 September 2011 to 31 August 2013. A key development has been the establishment and operation of six PRACE Advanced Training Centres (PATCs) hosted by PRACE partners in Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the UK. In total, WP4 oversaw the delivery of 98 face-to-face training events that included four seasonal schools, two workshops, two international HPC summer schools, and ninety PRACE Advanced Training Centre courses. Collectively these events were attended by over 2,500 participants, the majority of whom are based in European countries but there were also participants from the rest of the world. From the analyses of feedback responses there is a general perception that the PRACE-2IP training events have been extremely well organised, have consistently provided a high quality of training and are relevant to the needs of the audience. WP4 also carried out comprehensive training surveys to examine the needs of European HPC users, the professional opinions of HPC trainers and the supply of HPC training. The PRACE Training Portal, set up in PRACE-1IP, has been established as a hub for PRACE training information and it continues to act as a large repository of HPC training material, including videos of lectures and PRACE-generated tutorials.

Effects of aggregation on implicit bias measurement
Creators: name: Payne, B. Keith
name: Hannay, Jason W.
Publisher: name: Elsevier
Year: 2022

description:
Scholars debate the extent to which implicit bias is a stable individual attitude versus a feature of social contexts. The primary evidence for the social context view is that group averages are more stable, and more strongly associated with disparate outcomes, than individual scores. Group averages, however, depend on aggregating many observations, raising the question of whether their apparently superior reliability and validity may be a statistical artefact of aggregation. Would individual difference correlations be as large as context-based correlations if we only aggregated more measures per person? We report two studies testing the effects of aggregating repeated implicit tests. We find that aggregating up to six tests increases test-retest reliability somewhat, but increases validity correlations only slightly, and has no benefit after three tests. Results suggest that large correlations at the level of contexts cannot be reduced to the statistical effects of aggregating multiple tests.

description: To quantify the potential impact of rotavirus vaccines and identify strategies to improve vaccine performance in Bangladesh, a better understanding of the drivers of pre-vaccination rotavirus patterns is required. We developed and fit mathematical models to 23 years (1990–2012) of weekly rotavirus surveillance data from Dhaka with and without incorporating long-term and seasonal variation in the birth rate and meteorological factors. We performed external model validation using data between 2013 and 2019 from the regions of Dhaka and Matlab. The models showed good agreement with the observed age distribution of rotavirus cases and captured the observed shift in seasonal patterns of rotavirus hospitalizations from biannual to annual peaks. The declining long-term trend in the birth rate in Bangladesh was the key driver of the observed shift from biannual to annual winter rotavirus patterns. Meteorological indices were also important: a 1 °C, 1% and 1 mm increase in diurnal temperature range, surface water presence and degree of wetness were associated with a 19%, 3.9% and 0.6% increase in the transmission rate, respectively. The model demonstrated reasonable predictions for both Dhaka and Matlab, and can be used to evaluate the impact of rotavirus vaccination in Bangladesh against changing patterns of disease incidence.
100 Years of Sex and Gender in Social Forces

description:
The 100-year anniversary of Social Forces offers an opportunity to reflect on change and stability of sociological scholarship as featured in the pages of one of the discipline’s oldest journals. Since the first issue in 1922, much has changed in the sociological study of sex and gender in Social Forces publications. In our review of a century of publications, we find that scholarship in Social Forces has increasingly paid attention to gender as a social phenomenon, and the focus of such scholarship has evolved as gender scholars and feminist researchers developed theory moving beyond individual-level perspectives on gender and toward structural and multilevel understandings (Acker1992; Ferree, Lorber, and Hess 1999; Lopata and Thorne 1978; Martin 2004; Risman 1998; Risman and Davis 2013). Nevertheless, many of the questions scholars posed nearly a century ago still resonate today.

description: This paper challenges the classical quantum assumption that observation is a one-way process performed by an external observer. Instead, it proposes that awareness and observation exist on a spectrum across all physical systems—from particles and rocks to galaxies and fundamental forces. Observation is mutual, relative, and relational; the universe observes itself through nested layers of interaction.

By reframing consciousness as an intrinsic, scale-relative property of reality rooted in quantum mechanics, this framework breaks down human-centric boundaries and unifies micro and macro phenomena under a single, bold hypothesis

description: Different industries come with different accidents and incidences. The hospitality sector is not left out of this and in spite of efforts geared towards ensuring zero records of casualties, recreational parks in this sector still has a record of incidences that is fast becoming worrisome and a major concern to all, especially the management of such parks. In this study, the safety measures of an amusement park were evaluated with the aim of providing risk mitigation best practices in amusement parks. In this analysis, firstly a survey was conducted to assess current health and safety activities via the use of survey questionnaires and carefully analysed the data collected. Here, out of 126 respondents, 75% spends a minimum of 3 hours in the park. Also, it reveals that about 87% have had a cause to report safety concerns in the park. Despite the availability of safety signs and rules as indicated by majority of the respondents, 48% reported about customers who had injuries while using the rides and games. A standard hazard policy was also formulated, which consists of safety guidelines for both operations of the park and maintenance of rides and games.
IMPROVING THE LEVEL OF TECHNICAL TRAINING OF STUDENTS WHEN WORKING ON ETUDES

description: The goals and objectives lie in the contradictions between the technical classics of artistic forms of piano (including children’s piano) literature and the insufficient level of technical training of students. The goal is to transfer to students a complex of performing skills and abilities, to teach them the technical techniques necessary for the professional performance of highly artistic works of piano literature. Increase the level of their professional and technical training. A step-by-step method of learning instructive etudes is used: learning fragments of etudes at a slow pace, using exercises during the learning process that contribute to more successful mastery of various types of piano technique, a gradual transition to learning longer fragments of etudes at a faster pace. Teaching students the ability to hear and evaluate their performance, feeling the relationship between real sound and musical-auditory perceptions.
Remote-Control Plantations and Black Forest Relations in the Black Belt
Creators: name: Purifoy, Danielle M.
Publisher: name: Berghahn Books
Year: 2022

description:
This article examines the contemporary timber industry as a reproduction of plantation power via remote control, which occurs through absentee landowners, Black family land grabs, new markets for energy, and legal regimes designed to “devalue” common property in favor of individual ownership and profit-seeking productivity. Multi-generation Black homeplaces and communities possess alternative modes of land relations to sustain themselves despite the friction between the economic interests forced by racial capitalism and the ecological interests arising from long-standing forest interdependence. With the Alabama Black Belt and the larger US South experiencing expansion of concentrated forestland ownership and local divestment, most recently through the rise of the biomass industry, the reciprocal traditions of Black forest traditions represent modes of land relation and intervention that are necessary for livable futures.

Women of Color Political Elites in the US: An Introduction, Personal Reflections, and a Call for Scholarly Engagement

Year: 2022

description:
More women of color were sworn in to the 117th U.S. Congress than ever before. For instance, Cori Bush became the first Black woman elected from the state of Missouri, accomplishing this feat by taking down William Clay, whose family served in that seat for decades. Cori Bush’s victory, along with those of other women of color, is simultaneously something to celebrate and investigate. How can it be that in 2021, women of color elected officials are still achieving firsts? How have scholars assessed, theorized, and studied these women who are novel players in American government? Political Science, as a discipline, is merely decades out from viewing women of color via a single-axis lens of either race or gender. Thusly, scholars are still grappling with how to examine women of color by their own merits. This special issue seeks to do just that. The essays in this volume are chiefly concerned with studying the multiplicity of women of color political elites as distinct actors in American democracy. As guest co-editors of two issues on the subject, we wanted to curate a set of essays from both established and burgeoning thought leaders and empiricists on the complexities of seeking elected office and governing as women of color.

Black South Africans accounted for 6.2 out of 6.4 million people living with HIV in South Africa in 2012, highlighting extreme racial disparities in HIV infection. These racial disparities are the result of structural and historical factors, specifically, the racist policies which were facilitated by segregation before, during, and after Apartheid. First, we describe the theoretical context of how racist policies and segregation are linked to HIV prevalence. Next, using data from a 2012 national survey of South Africans (SABSSM IV) and Statistics South Africa (StatsSA), we describe the race-specific geospatial distribution of HIV in South Africa, provide empirical evidence for the impact of Apartheid on important risk factors for HIV infection, and describe the relationship between these risk factors and HIV within racial groups. Using multilevel logistic regression, we find that segregation increases the odds of HIV infection among Black South Africans, even after adjusting for many covariates which are sometimes blamed, in place of structural factors, for a higher HIV prevalence in Black South Africans. We found that the estimated odds of infection in the most segregated municipality was 1.95 (95% CI: 1.15, 3.32) times the odds of infection in the least segregated municipality for Black South Africans. In addition to segregation, we also find other covariates to be differentially associated with HIV infection depending on race, such as gender, age, and sexual behavior. We also find that the HIV infection odds ratio comparing Black and Coloured (i.e., multiple ethnic groups with mixed ancestries from Africa, Asia, and Europe) South Africans varies over space. These results continue to build evidence for the influence of structural and historical factors on the modern geospatial and demographic distribution of HIV.
Police Violence and Black Women’s Health

description:
Police violence continues to be a critical public health issue. From 1980 to 2018, approximately 30,000 deaths were attributed to police violence in the United States. The highly publicized recent police killings of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Michael Brown, Philando Castille, and many others have raised questions regarding police conduct, namely failure to render aid and the appropriate use of force. Although the United States makes up 4% of the world population, it accounts for almost 13% of fatal police-related deaths. In 2012, an estimated 52,000 people were treated in emergency departments for injuries due to police intervention. Individuals from historically marginalized communities (e.g., Black, Indigenous, and people of color; immigrants; the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer community; people with disabilities) are inequitably affected by police violence. Recent statistics show that Black men are more than two times as likely to be killed by the police than White men, and Black women are 1.4 times more likely to be killed by the police than White women. Unfortunately, discussions about police violence rarely include Black women’s experiences or its impact on women’s health. Here we provide an overview of the detrimental effects of multiple dimensions of police violence (physical, sexual, psychological, and neglect) on Black women’s health outcomes.

description: The Cambridge Grand Challenges (CGC) initiative was set up in 2018 to foster collaboration between industry, government, and academia, and designed to help put the UK at the forefront of the industries of the future. As part of this, a program was set up to facilitate the process of Social Sciences doctoral students working with industry in short internships, to increase innovation and improve skills. In this literature review paper we aim to review the basis of this approach and the academic and industrial context. A contribution is made towards uniting three distinct areas of literature, starting with the underpinnings of academic-industrial collaboration, followed by the social science perspective on academic-industrial knowledge exchange, then considering the links between internships and learning. The review concludes with proposed implications for knowledge transfer within this specific context. The paper highlights the research questions needed to further investigate the benefits, barriers and enablers, and the processes which facilitate the value delivering mechanisms of engagement, to demonstrate how such programs make a contribution towards improving UK industrial productivity.

description: In today’s digital age, the collection and sale of customer data for advertising is gaining a growing number of ethical concerns. The act of amassing extensive datasets encompassing customer preferences, behaviors, and personal information raises questions of its true purpose. It is widely acknowledged that companies track and store their customer’s digital activities under the pretext of benefiting the customer, but at what cost? Are users aware of how much of their data is being collected? Do they understand the trade-off between personalized services and the potential invasion of their privacy? This paper aims to show the advantages and disadvantages of consumer data commerce. It examines the dynamics between consumers and their dwindling expectation of privacy, taking a dive into the implications of User Agreements and closely analyzing the controversies surrounding it. Possible solutions to address these ethical concerns that can be immediately implemented in today’s practices are also provided.

Mitigating HIV burden among Black youth requires true community engagement. This brief report identifies challenges, strategies, and lessons learned from transitioning our three-phased, community-engaged HIV prevention project with Black youth to a remote format during COVID-19. The project involved (1) building a community-academic partnership on youth sexual health, (2) participatory youth workshops, and (3) youth surveys and interviews about HIV prevention. Feedback from community-academic partnership, pile sorting themes, and preliminary qualitative analyses guided this report. Challenges included a disruption to in-person engagement while strategies included relying heavily on pre-existing partnerships to recruit youth for interviews. We learned that pre-existing community engagement was essential for completing phase three remotely. More education is needed to support Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) awareness for HIV prevention and there is a need to address structural barriers to healthcare engagement such as community violence and mental illness. Community-engaged HIV research focused on youth can adapt if anchored in community relationships. Future studies must work to more fully center youth's voices and address the structural issues that may inhibit them from engaging in HIV prevention.

description:
Alternative splicing is an RNA processing mechanism involved in skeletal muscle development and pathology. Muscular diseases exhibit splicing alterations and changes in mechanobiology leading us to investigate the interconnection between mechanical forces and RNA processing. We performed deep RNA-sequencing after stretching muscle cells. First, we uncovered transcriptional changes in genes encoding proteins involved in muscle function and transcription. Second, we observed that numerous mechanosensitive genes were part of the MAPK pathway which was activated in response to stretching. Third, we revealed that stretching skeletal muscle cells increased the proportion of alternatively spliced cassette exons and their inclusion. Fourth, we demonstrated that the serine and arginine-rich proteins exhibited stronger transcriptional changes than other RNA-binding proteins and that SRSF4 phosphorylation is mechanosensitive. Identifying SRSF4 as a mechanosensitive RNA-binding protein that might contribute to crosstalk between mechanotransduction, transcription, and splicing could potentially reveal novel insights into muscular diseases, particularly those with unknown etiologies.

description: In December 2006, a major windstorm event hit Stanley Park, causing significant damage to the ecology of the park. In an effort to restore the ecological integrity of the park, the Vancouver Park Board sought advice from the Stanley Park Ecology Society (SPES), only to find that no data had previously been collected regarding the park's ecology. This realization prompted SPES to formulate a long-term monitoring program that would be used to create a regularly updated State of the Park Report for the Ecological Integrity of Stanley Park (SOPEI). Long-term monitoring was conducted in both 2007 and 2009 at six sites throughout the park. These six sites consisted of three sites that had been affected by the windstorm and three sites that had not, in order to assess the differences in the sites and to determine how to effectively restore the park to its original state. In 2010, SOPEI was written, giving Stanley Park board members a thorough understanding of the current ecological state of the park. However, due to a lack of resources no further long-term monitoring was conducted, leaving no available data to create a new SOPEI report. This project focuses on creating a long-term monitoring plan that is simple and easy to use, while still maintaining the scientific integrity that is necessary to assess the ecological health of the park. The long-term monitoring plan includes a sampling database as well as a survey manual that explains how to properly sample and where the sites are located. This plan will be used for years to come, to ensure that thorough data is collected and analyzed consistently to allow for trends among data to be found. This data will provide SPES with information regarding sites that are at the most ecological risk and provide park board members an idea of where future developments should and shouldn’t go, based on their ecological significance to the park.

description: Das Ziel der vorliegenden Masterarbeit ist es zu untersuchen, welche Rolle Design im Kontext gesellschaftspolitischer Bewegungen spielt und in welchen Zeichen sich der Protest der Klimabewegung Fridays for Future äußert. Ebenfalls untersucht wird, inwiefern sich diese einst subversiven Elemente der Klimabewegung wiederum in den Mainstream der Werbeindustrie eingliedern. Dazu wird die folgende Forschungsfrage gestellt: In welchen Zeichen manifestiert sich der aktuelle Klimaprotest und welche Zeichen finden sich in der Werbung wieder? Lässt sich für den Betrachtenden noch dechiffrieren wo der Protest aufhört und der Konsum beginnt? Das Erkenntnisinteresse besteht darin, Bilder aus dem Aktionsrepertoire der Fridays for Future Bewegung über den Zeitraum 2019-2021 zu sammeln, die Ausbildung ihrer visuellen und sprachlichen Ausdrucksformen zu analysieren und zu dechiffrieren. Zur Untersuchung des Bildmaterials werden Methoden aus unterschiedlichen Disziplinen eingesetzt. Protestäußerungen, die über Plakate, Fotografien und andere Medien zum Ausdruck kommen, werden gesammelt und mit bildwissenschaftlichen und rhetorischen Methoden untersucht. Die Argumentation erfolgt anhand der Untersuchung dreier konkreter Beispiele aus der Werbung mittels der dokumentarischen Methode der Bildinterpretation nach Bohnsack. In der Analyse der Kampagnen geht es um das Wechselverhältnis zwischen der ästhetischen Selbstdarstellung der Bewegung und ihrer Rezeption bzw. Re-Inszenierung in der Werbung. Die Ergebnisse der Analyse zeigen, wie sich Werbung durch die Aneignung der Klimasymbolik vom klassischen Kommunikationsinstrument der Wirtschaft zunehmend zu einer Kommunikation auf nicht-ökonomischer und gesamtgesellschaftlicher Ebene entwickelt. Bezugnehmend auf die Re-Inszenierung der Protestcodes in der Werbung werden diese in der praktischen Ausarbeitung durch die Antiwerbung-Aktionsform des Culture Jammings selbst noch einmal zitiert und ironisiert. Dabei werden die Medien und Mittel der Werbung verwendet, wodurch sich ein Dreisatz aus Aneignung, Manipulation und Wiedereinspeisung ergibt.
