description: Since 1987, the UCHRI and the Humanities Network have furthered humanities research on key questions facing the state, the nation, and the world, including the cultural impact of digital technologies; the origins and consequences of racism and racialization; the creative expression and agency of marginalized groups and the pluralism and global reach of literary and artistic traditions; the social components of climate change; the experiential and historical dimensions of mass migration; the future of the liberal arts; and humanities and work. In all of these domains, the human is a set of open questions: What does it mean to be human? What happens to the human when the non-human can be programmed to think, feel, and express? What value does humanity offer to a world that humans have divided and degraded? And how can we channel the power of arts and ideas to reshape how people think about human and nonhuman forms of life in an interconnected world? The humanities are everywhere, embedded in the visual world, enacted in civic life and faith practices, and transmitted in the stories people tell about themselves and their communities. Connecting the ten campuses around common concerns, “The Human in Question” fosters research on all areas of human expression and activity, both historical and contemporary, in order to recover models of identity, community, and capacity that might contribute constructively to a shared future.

 The 2022-23 UCHRI theme, “Refuge and Its Refusals,” addresses the humanities as spaces of creative reflection and furthers the work of refugee scholars and refugee scholarship. Future themes will be established in consultation with humanities centers and other campus stakeholders. UCHRI will continue to run a competitive grant-making program that fosters intercampus and public-facing partnerships. The campus humanities centers will collaborate on endeavors of mutual interest and benefit. Related projects support mentorship across the system, including the UC Underrepresented Scholars Fellowship mentoring program, now in its second year, and a graduate student mentorship program that involves UC Humanities PhD alumni. UCHRI is also running a multi-year working group on humanities research infrastructure, and continues to foster conversations about the future of graduate education in the humanities.

description: The quest for laser fusion reached a critical milestone in 2021 when ignition was achieved on the National Ignition Facility at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. After decades of effort, these experiments reached the cusp of energy output equaling input (which was then surpassed in late 2022), demonstrating the potential of laser fusion as a clean energy source. To make further progress, it is imperative to better understand the first stage of such experiments, in which a solid at ordinary temperature and pressure absorbs laser light and transitions into a plasma, reaching conditions similar to the center of the Sun. Newly developed materials, such as aerogel foams, hold the promise of even higher energy gains, but our ability to model these complex materials has only just begun. It remains unclear how the initial solid and foam structure affects the resulting plasma and for how long a memory persists. This project aims to develop advanced multiscale simulation models and use these models to develop and apply experimental platforms to validate the simulations. UC PhD students and postdocs will perform the research with an interdisciplinary faculty team, working closely with national lab scientists and learning advanced theoretical and experimental methods. We will study the impact of material structure on the atomic scale and larger scales, comparing different forms of carbon: diamond, graphite, and graphene foams. The solid-to-plasma transition involves a cascade of processes over increasing time and length scales: absorption of light, redistribution of energy among electrons and then ions, plasma homogenization, and plasma expansion. These scales require different theoretical techniques, from quantum mechanical treatment of electrons, to classical treatment of atoms, to coarse-grained treatment of electrons and ions, and finally a macroscopic treatment. Models developed by machine learning will connect our simulations across these scales. We will perform experiments, and design future ones, to validate modeling predictions. Findings will improve the fundamental understanding of laser-matter interactions, develop innovative ways to measure plasma conditions, and develop critical simulation capabilities for early times through better physics and machine-learning models, helping to advance the quest for controlled fusion in this new era.

description: Irochrotus maculiventris (Germar, 1839)
Material examined (n=1): loc. OL3 (40°43′58.72″N, 16°54′28.06″E) 05.X.2020
Distribution:Widespread in Southern Europe (Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece, Italy, Macedonia, Spain, former Yugoslavia, Turkey (European part)), North Africa (Algeria, Libya) and Turkey (Asian part).
Remarks: Servadei (1967) reported this species only in Sicily (Southern Italy), while I. lanatus was reported for Apulia (Southern Italy). However, it is possible that the two species were confused as Göllner-Scheiding (2006) suggested for the eastern records of I. lanatus by Pallas (1773). In fact, I. lanatus has a Ponto Mediterranean distribution, whereas a Mediterranean distribution has been reported for I. maculiventris. Moreover, Lupoli (2017) suggested that this species is spread in arid habitats, which are common in Apulia. In particular, the specimen here reported was found on the wall of a rural building, sourronded by arable fields, olive groves and near a small oak forest.

description: California has the worst air pollution in the US. Over the last few decades, regulations have improved air quality in areas suffering the most: Los Angeles, the Imperial Valley, the San Joaquin Valley, and the San Francisco Bay Area. In 2017, the state began focusing on disadvantaged communities through the enactment of Assembly Bill 617 (AB617): “The Community Air Protection Program.”
 AB617 established the nation’s first state-run community-scale program to detect air pollution hotspots in communities, helping to reduce air pollutants that tend to occur at higher levels in low-income communities of color. The development of new air pollution measurement tools to implement AB617 can be an exceptional form of relief for these communities who for years have been advocating for access to cleaner air. Disadvantaged communities in California are typically exposed to two kinds of hazardous air pollutants (HAPs): toxic metals and toxic volatile organic compounds. As part of this effort, the California Air Resources Board funded Dr. Wexler, a co-PI of this proposal, to develop a cost-effective instrument to measure toxic metals in the air. Conventional toxic metal instruments cost about $200,000, while Dr. Wexler’s instrument has similar performance but only costs $3,000 to build. With US EPA funding, Dr. Wexler is also developing an inexpensive instrument for measuring toxic VOCs. Conventional instruments that measure these compounds cost on average over $500,000. Dr. Wexler’s instrument will cost about $20,000.
 This proposal will use these novel instruments with collaborative community approaches and educational outreach to solve three problems for California’s most disadvantaged communities:
 1. Partner with community groups, such as Communities for a Better Environment (L.A., S.F.), and the Central California Environmental Justice Network (San Joaquin Valley), to identify HAPs in their communities and work with them on advocacy and policy analysis to improve air quality and health.
 2. Train a new generation of interdisciplinary researchers able to help disadvantaged communities with their air quality problems.
 3. Support the careers of three early career underrepresented minority assistant professors, Drs. Mendez, Cannon, and Alvarez, working on community air quality problems in Southern California, the SF Bay Area, and the San Joaquin Valley, respectively.

description: In 2022, an estimated 31,720 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in California, and approximately 4,690 will die from breast cancer. For birthing women, breastfeeding has been shown to contribute to prevention of the disease.1 While the benefits of breastfeeding are well-documented in the literature, only 38% of women report being aware that breastfeeding decreases the risk of breast cancer. Furthermore, there are significant racial/ethnic inequities in breastfeeding rates as well as rates of breast cancer and mortality. In response, the California Breast Cancer Research Program (CBCPR) developed a prevention plan highlighting the barriers to breastfeeding and identifying goals to improving breastfeeding rates. Barriers include social and cultural differences across populations, with subsequent societal effects on these communities. These factors likely play a role in the communities with some of the lowest rates of breastfeeding: Black, Asian American (AA), and Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders (NHPI).
 Because of the unique barriers and challenges to breastfeeding across racial/ethnic groups, the implementation goals outlined in the report may need to be adapted to address the specific social and cultural characteristics of disadvantaged groups. Through a series of focus groups with providers, community groups, advocacy organizations, and perinatal women (i.e. pregnant to 12 months postpartum), this study will seek to answer the following questions with a focus on the impact on specific disadvantaged communities:
 1. What policy interventions could increase awareness of breastfeeding as a way to reduce breast cancer risk among the public and medical community?
 2. What policy interventions could state or local governments adopt to increase support for breastfeeding where women live, work, learn, worship and play?
 3. Are there roles for community health clinics and other non-governmental organizations?
Farmworker women & Respiratory Exposure to Smoke from Swamp Cooler Air (FRESSCA–Mujeres)

description: Introduction: Many women farmworkers in the Central Valley of California faced impossible choices during recent wildfire seasons. Their homes have evaporative (“swamp”) coolers that pull in large amounts of unfiltered outdoor air across moist pads to cool the indoor air. In oppressive summer heat, breathing smoke and other air pollutants was their only option. These women asked the Central California Environmental Justice Network (CCEJN) for help. CCEJN and the Public Health Institute are now co-leading an effort funded by the U.S. EPA to design and produce innovative swamp cooler filters to reduce wildfire smoke and air pollution inside the homes of farmworkers and their families.
 Research questions: This study will evaluate the new swamp cooler filters in homes of agricultural workers in Coalinga (Fresno County) and Arvin-Lamont (Kern County) to see if they reduce exposure and health effects from chemicals that are linked to breast cancer. We will also teach the women how to use strategies such as N95 respirator masks and workplace complaints to reduce exposure to air pollution and pesticides at the worksite, and we will measure their biological markers of cumulative stress.
 Methodology: We will measure contaminants in indoor and outdoor air of 50 homes with different air filtration interventions, focusing on volatile chemicals, cancer-causing chemicals in soot, and heavy metals linked to breast cancer. We will collect urine samples from 50 women in the homes to test for markers of oxidative stress and inflammation linked to breast cancer. We will measure cumulative harm from environmental and social stressors in these women by testing for changes in the ends of their chromosomes (telomeres) associated with cancer.
 Potential impact: This partnership with environmental justice organizations and farmworkers could create solutions to reduce air pollution, wildfire smoke, and even pesticide drift into homes, increase power in the community, and improve workplace protection. We will pioneer the measurement of cumulative biological stress in this vulnerable population. Dissemination will include digital story videos co-created by community members, a legislative briefing, and briefings for government agencies. Every step of this project will be informed by a Community Advisory Group. Together we will build power to advocate for clean air.

To reduce and prevent risks for breast cancer using methods that are safe and supportive for Arab American women, we propose a one-year pilot study. In a partnership between Holistic Underground and MLACC with the Pacific Institute for Research and Evaluation of California (PIRE-CA) we will continue working with a group of Arab American women with whom we recently worked on smoking cessation and prevention. We will help the women monitor the air quality in their apartments to show that they are exposed to tobacco smoke, even when no one is smoking in their apartment. We will help the women look at places where they do and don't feel comfortable getting exercise. We will consider ways to improve these conditions, such as talking with apartment managers about smokefree homes; talking with city officials about cultural safety in recreation centers; and joining with other groups advocating for these improvements. We will help the women use the evidence they have collected about their own and their lives, and in so doing we will help them develop skills and confidence in health leadership. We will evaluate the effects of the program for the participants, and use results to design a full community program of primary prevention of breast cancer for Arab American women in California.

description: Black women are dying at disproportionate rates from breast cancer, and there is an urgent need for community-informed interventions to address this health disparity. Personal care product use contributes to breast cancer risks in Black women. For example, chemical hair straightening products are associated with increased risk of breast cancer as well as larger tumor size. Lifestyle interventions targeting hair care product use are complex since Black hair care carries strong cultural importance in the Black community. We initiated Taking Stock, community-based participatory research jointly led by Janette Robinson Flint of Black Women for Wellness (BWW) and Dr. Bhavna Shamasunder of Occidental College, in order to characterize personal care product use and toxicity, as well as social and cultural drivers of product use among women of color. Our community-academic partnership has also generated evidence that culturally relevant education and community support can make a difference and affirm Black women’s identities. BWW has a 20 year history of working to reduce exposures from hair product chemicals through community education and facilitates an intervention titled Curls and Conversations (CC), which supports Black women to achieve and maintain natural hair styles. Our preliminary data suggest that CC may reduce exposures to endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDC). Therefore, the overall goal of our current proposal is to extend this successful community-academic partnership in order to enhance and evaluate the efficacy of CC as an educational intervention to reduce exposures to chemicals linked to breast cancer. Our community-informed intervention will provide consultations with a natural hairstylist, a robust community support network, and education on chemicals and health. The expected outcome of this effort is to build and disseminate a replicable toolkit that will support diverse Black women who choose to transition away from chemically treated hair so they can make healthier choices and reduce their overall EDC exposures and breast cancer risk. Our proposed intervention is responsive to the California Breast Cancer Primary Prevention Plan since it focuses on primary breast cancer prevention, weaves together science and community wisdom using a strong community-academic partnership, and approaches breast cancer prevention through a social justice lens.

description: In the US, breast cancer is the most common cancer diagnosis among women and men under age 50 and the second leading cause of cancer death among women. Because of the prevalence and severity of this disease, prevention is a priority. However, current regulatory approaches for evaluating whether common chemicals and pollutants increase breast cancer risk – or affect other breast-related outcomes such as lactation, pubertal development, and breast density – are insufficient to detect these effects, and so exposures continue. There is already substantial evidence from laboratory studies that many chemicals are likely to increase risk of breast cancer, and it is likely that many more have yet to be identified. Despite the availability of more rigorous methods for detecting chemical effects on the mammary gland, regulatory agencies have been reluctant to update their approaches. These regulatory weaknesses are not widely known or acknowledged, and so calls for change have come from relatively few concerned scientists who are experts in breast biology and cancer.

 This conference will bring together scientists, policy experts and women’s health advocates to discuss the current gaps and opportunities, and to brainstorm strategies to ensure regulatory agencies use the best available methods to detect chemicals that may harm breast health.

description: Triple-negative breast cancer is the only breast cancer subtype that has very limited treatment options. Recently, we and others have identified a metabolic change—oxidative phosphorylation—as a key driver of breast cancer progression and metastasis. My research group established that CUB-domain containing protein 1 (CDCP1) and Src kinase pathway are the main regulators of this metabolic change. While CDCP1 targeting therapeutics are under development, therapeutics targeting Src kinase are in clinical trials for several cancers, with considerable interest to further discover and target Src kinase substrates to reduce normal tissue toxicity. We hypothesize that CDCP1/Src axis regulates oxidative phosphorylation by regulating phosphorylation and activity of the enzymes in the mitochondrial electron transport chain. Some of the Src substrates in electron transport chain have been described (and will be tested in a candidate approach), but there are caveats, including pronounced cell type specificity, lack of information on the exact phospho-sites, lack of CDCP1 dependency studies, lack of the determined outcome of the phosphorylation event in terms of target protein activity. Thus, we propose to implement limited candidate approach, and an unbiased phosphoprotein profiling in cancer and normal cells with manipulated expression of CDCP1 and Src. While my laboratory is well set up to conduct genetic overexpression/downregulation studies, phosphorylation substrate discovery and validation are the new research areas. We have established a connection with UCSD phosphoproteomics facility with cutting edge instrumentation to conduct the study, followed by rigorous validation of the phospho-targets. We have also established a collaboration with Dr. Wang at UCI for in vitro kinase assays. The outcome of the study would be the justification of CDCP1/Src axis targeting in breast cancer knowing the consequences to electron transport chain functioning in cancer and normal cells (with the aim to discover cancer-specific targets), list of potential therapeutic targets in electron transport chain itself, list of targets outside of electron transport chain, indirectly regulating oxidative phosphorylation. This study will help my laboratory to expand to the area of phosphosignaling and facilitate the acquisition of an R01 to rigorously pursue the therapeutic significance.

description: Recurrent somatic mutations in splicing factors have been identified in multiple forms of cancer, yet how these mutations contribute to cancer, particularly in lung cancer, remains unclear. Cancer cells must mitigate replicative, metabolic, and hypoxic stresses as part of disease advancement and the extent to which splicing plays a role in stress adaptation is unknown. In a cell line model used to examine early genetic changes leading to lung cancer (HBEC), we found that U2AF1S34F, a cancer hot spot mutation in a U2 splicing complex factor, suppresses KRAS-mediated oncogene-induced senescence (a consequence of replicative stress) and upregulates stress response genes. In myeloid lineage cells, U2AF1S34F mutations cause genome-wide augmentation of DNA/RNA hybrids (R-loops) which have also been linked to stress response. Recent studies in leukemic cells treated with splicing inhibitor PladB demonstrate differential R-loop formation with altered stress-response gene expression, also. These studies associating splicing with R-loop formation have been performed in myeloid lineages and in already transformed cancer cells. Our preliminary data in HBEC lines leads to the hypothesis that splicing alterations may contribute to early stages of lung cancer development through stress adaptation. It is unclear if this phenotype would be specific to U2AF1 mutation or through other forms of splicing alteration. We propose to test whether altered splicing by mutation of U2AF1 or treatment with PladB impacts R-loop formation to alter cancer-associated stress tolerance in lung cells. In Aim 1, we will determine the stress-related impact of perturbing splicing in HBEC cells through U2AF1S34F mutation or by PladB. Stress tolerance will be assessed by changes in levels of gene expression, cell proliferation, and senescence levels in response to inducible Kras oncogene expression (replicative stress) and DNA damage by gamma-irradiation (DNA damage stress). To determine whether R-loop formation is mediating the stress adaptation, we will suppress R-loop formation by RNAseH. In Aim 2, we will globally map differences in R-loop formation in U2AF1S34F and PladB-treated cells before and after stress induction. Results from this study will shed light on the role of splicing and R-loops in adapting to stress responses in early cancer development.

description: Endothelial cells (ECs) are activated to generate new blood vessels that play a key role in supporting the growth and spread of many cancers. However, treatments shown to be highly effective in mice are proving less robust in humans. Three-dimensional microfluidic chips enable recapitulation of the tumor microenvironment with human cancers, human endothelial cells and human immune cells. Establishing a highly angiogenic tumor vasculature perfused with immune cells is needed to accurately reconstruct the tumor pathology. Our laboratory has identified and characterized a unique highly angiogenic ECs from mouse and human embryonic stem cells (ESC). The proposed studies will examine various cancer spheroids’ ability to recruit new blood vessels, undergo metastasis, and examine response to anti-angiogenic drugs for treating growing cancers.

description: Zumba and similar group-based aerobic exercises have become popular worldwide, engaging approximately 12 million people to attend the fitness dancing parties on a frequent basis. Prior studies showed evidential benefits in mental and physical wellness, as well as quality of life, of such fitness programs among the common public and patients with cancers. Patients with cancers, either on treatment or off therapy, may encounter challenges to attend in-person training due to their illness and mobility constraints, in addition to the current global covid pandemic. Therefore, it’s essential to explore online options which offers easy accessibility and inclusiveness of “exercise classes”. In terms of personal motivation and social engagement, patients with cancers may also benefit from additional personalization and social support to help them physically catch up with the exercise and socially connect with co-trainees. Our goal in this project is to create a social, accessible and inclusive video-mediated Zumba experience that extends the benefits of group training to the online space (Zumba together!). By enhancing video communication, we will develop a real-time action feedback mechanism and a recommendation mechanism that produces recommendations of training content and co-trainees, both driven by continuous comparison of pose estimations performed by the system using a data-driven machine learning model, with the goal to improve social synchrony and engagement in the virtual program. In this one-year project, we will design and prototype the technological mechanisms and conduct a pilot study with up to 30 health adults to assess the feasibility and benefits of using the enhanced video communication channel for virtual group exercises. The results from this project will be used to apply for an R01 to conduct a multicenter clinical trial targeting young adult cancer survivors and patients undergoing treatment.
