Experiences of Arab immigrant and Arab-American survivors of sexual violence
Creators: name: Alyan, Hala Nafez

description: Sexual violence (SV) is considered to be a serious public health problem, with far-reaching and enduring ramifications on the physical and psychological well-being of survivors (Basile, Chen, Black, & Saltzman, 2007). The extent to which factors such as family support, religiosity, and mental health services are relied upon as coping strategies by survivors of SV is greatly affected by cultural values (Bryant-Davis, Chung, & Tillman, 2009; Ullman, 2010). Arab immigrant and Arab-American survivors of SV are a significantly under-researched population, despite the increasing numbers of Arab immigrant and Arab-American individuals in the United States population (Abdulrahim & Baker, 2009). The central role of family in Arab culture, as well as traditional values regarding gender roles, may influence help-seeking behaviors (Erickson & Al-Timimi, 2001; Raj and Silverman, 2002). Mental health service delivery may also be subject to a number of specific barriers for this population, including socioeconomic difficulties, discrimination and language barriers (Ali, Liu, & Humedian, 2004). The purpose of this exploratory study was to collect preliminary data on the experiences of Arab immigrant and Arab American survivors of sexual violence. Participants of this study (n=12) were recruited through domestic violence shelters and Arab American community agencies located in different US cities. Given the linguistic, transportation, confidentiality, and shame-based obstacles to accessing this population, an on-line survey was developed in English and Arabic. Data were gathered on various facets, including incident(s) of SV, coping strategies, the extent of help-seeking and posttraumatic growth.  The majority of participants identified the perpetrator as a family member, and reported disclosure experiences as unhelpful. Survey results indicated that participants relied most upon coping strategies related to emotional support, self-distraction and religion, and participants reported positive changes related to personal strength, faith in one’s self and spirituality. Respondents to the Arabic version of the study endorsed greater levels of nondisclosure, religiosity and collectivist values. Recommendations for future research include further sampling, conducting interviews with participants and investigating potential relationships between variables. Recommendations for professional practice include enhancing education about Arab culture, empowering the survivor within the context of family, and engaging in advocacy and outreach efforts with both formal and informal systems in the community.

Herrera Distant 1905c: 486.
TYPE SPECIES. Cicada marginella Walker 1858a: 21. (Orizaba, Vera Cruz, Mexico)
REMARKS. Species of Herrera are characterized by having a head about as wide as the mesonotum, the vertex is longer than the frons, the pronotum is about as long as the mesonotum, the abdomen is about as long as the distance from the apex of the head to the cruciform elevation, small male opercula, the strongly spined fore femora, and the fore wing width being slightly more than half the fore wing length (Distant 1905c). The fore wing width can be as little as one third in some species as this character has become more variable as more species have been described.
DISTRIBUTION. Species of the genus have been recorded previously from Argentina, Belize, Costa Rica, Cuba, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, and Panama (Metcalf 1963c; Sanborn 2013; 2014; Sanborn and Heath 2014). The first records for Bolivia, Brazil, French Guiana, and Peru are reported here based on the descriptions of the new species and new combinations proposed.

Feasibility and acceptability of implementing the skills program, a group behavioral activation treatment for schools
Creators: name: Areizaga, Margaret J.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2014

description: Anxiety and depression have been found to be highly comorbid and among the most commonly diagnosed disorders in youth. Research indicates that these disorders are generally left untreated, which increases risk for greater impairment and a longer course of psychological dysfunction. Cognitive behavioral therapy has been shown to be effective in treating youth internalizing problems, but most treatment manuals have focused on a single disorder. Transdiagnostic treatments, which focus on commonalities among disorders, may be more relevant to treating internalizing problems than standard treatment manuals. In particular, Behavioral Activation, which has been found to be a key ingredient in the treatment of depression, shows promise as a transdiagnostic treatment because of its parallel goals with exposure-based therapies for anxiety. Implementing these treatments in a school-based setting may serve to reduce the barriers to treatment and increase the number of youth receiving services for internalizing disorders. Before a treatment can be implemented in a school, a variety of acceptability and feasibility issues must first be assessed. The focus of the current study was to obtain feedback from a range of potential providers on the feasibility and acceptability of implementing a group behavioral activation treatment (GBAT), known as the SKILLS Program, in middle schools with children who have elevated levels of anxiety and/or depression. Eighteen professionals participated in the current study. Overall ratings indicated highly positive impressions of the therapist manual and workbook, and all subscales related to acceptability received close to maximum ratings. Feasibility ratings were routinely lower, indicating that respondents found that the time allotted for tasks may have been less than desirable and that some of the assigned tasks may have been challenging to accomplish in school settings. However, ratings were still above the midpoint rating, suggesting that respondents found the program overall feasible. Despite potential challenges, individual professionals felt positive about the implementation potential of GBAT. Discussion focuses on implications of study findings, potential ways to increase feasibility, further examination of open-ended feedback, as well as limitations of the study and suggestions for future research.

A secondary transition program in a public school setting for students with severe disabilities
Creators: name: Augustyniak, Alyssa
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2014

description: The post-school outcomes for students with severe disabilities have been poor compared to individuals with less severe disabilities or those without disabilities. These young adults also require more supports and assistance during the stage of transition from school to work. Improved secondary transition programming is a way in which student outcomes can be enhanced. The present study set out to provide constructive and relevant information to administrators and educators involved in a Life Skills program in New Jersey. The Life Skills program is a secondary transition, public school- based program, for students with severe disabilities aged 18 to 21. The first research task was the creation of a Program Design document. This document put the program into an evaluable format using Maher’s model of Program Planning and Evaluation (2012). The second research task was to answer the following program evaluation question: To what extent is the Life Skills Program implementing best practices? Data were collected through classroom observations, interviews with staff members involved in the program, and a review of program related documents. The Program Design Document and Best Practice findings provide information on strengths and recommendations to the educators and administrators involved in the Life Skills program, enabling sound decisions to be made about the program and contributing to program development and improvement. The current study also has implications for educators, administrators, and other professionals in the field who work with this target population.
The effect of social normative expectations on academic achievement in an urban middle school
Creators: name: Bell, Perry Jacob
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2014

description: The discrepancy in achievement between socioeconomically advantaged White students and disadvantaged Black and Hispanic students is well documented. Socioeconomically advantaged White students receive significantly higher grades than their socioeconomically disadvantaged minority peers. In reducing this disparity, it is important to understand cultures of academic failure and factors that influence grades. This study sought to define Social Normative Expectations, a construct describing peer expectations of future achievement. The research evaluated the influence of Social Normative Expectations on end-of-year grades in English and math. The sample, N = 367, which was 90% Latino and 93% Free and Reduced Lunch, included 7th and 8th grade students from an urban middle school in New Jersey. This study provided evidence of a single, coherent construct of Social Normative Expectations (Cronbach’s alpha = .89). However, while Social Normative Expectations accounted for a unique portion of variance in predicting end-of-year English grades (but not math grades) over and above the influence of prior academic achievement, school climate and demographic variables, the direction of the relationship was not as expected. Lower Social Normative Expectations predicted higher achievement in English classes (R2 change = .02, F = 11.19, p = .01). The discussion addresses limitations in the study and raises the possibility that perceptions of social norms are group processes that dynamically affect student success, such that a realistic negative perception of future peer success spurs some students to excel so as to not fit the expectation. Implications are addressed for how school psychologists can help educators think about how school norms might influence student expectations of peer outcomes and subsequent achievement.

Year: 2014

description: The purpose of this project was to assess the mental health needs of children with Attention Deficit / Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) who attend elementary schools in Middlesex County, New Jersey, and to analyze the feasibility of the Psychological Clinic at the Graduate School of Applied and Professional Psychology (GSAPP), Rutgers University, to provide multi-modal mental health services to this target population. A needs assessment and resource analysis using survey methodology were conducted. 139  subjects participated in this investigation; each was a member of one of three natural samples: 1) Middlesex County elementary school staff (SS), 2) current GSAPP students (GS) and 3) Psychological Clinic staff/faculty (CS). Each sample was administered an online survey requesting responses to quantitative and qualitative items assessing their perspectives regarding mental health service availability, utilization and efficacy, as well as resource availability and need, within their respective organizations. Results revealed that SS participants reported a need for additional mental health services targeting their students with ADHD, as well as their caregivers. Major areas of need were identified as executive functioning and organizational skills training, as well as parent-directed and  teacher-directed services. GS and CS participants reported availability of assessment and therapy services, as well as some human and procedural resources. Additional resources needed to support a multi-modal mental health program targeting children with ADHD and their caregivers included supervisors, space, materials, equipment and financial resources. Major barriers to program development, dissemination and utilization were reported as time, cost, location, language, lack of information and goodness-of-fit. Implications for the development of a practicum program designed to train GSAPP students in the delivery of multi-modal mental health services to the target population are  considered. Facilitators that address barriers to program development, dissemination and utilization are discussed. Practical suggestions for the Psychological Clinic regarding program development are offered. Limitations and future directions are presented.

description: The majority of viruses contain RNA genomes protected by a shell of capsid proteins. Although viral capsids appear to be highly uniform, recent measurements suggest that virions are highly dynamic in nature. Does capsid dynamics functionally regulate pathogenicity? And to what extent does the packaged genomic RNA affect capsid dynamics? We propose to answer these questions via a multidisciplinary approach involving genetics and molecular biology (Rao [PI], UCR), physical chemistry (Gelbart, UCLA), nanotechnology (Zhou, California NanoSystems Institute [CNSI]) and biochemistry (Qiao, UCI). To this end, we exploit as a model system the genetically and structurally well-characterized Brome mosaic virus (BMV), pathogenic to plants. The three genomic RNAs (RNAs 1, 2 and 3) and a single subgenomic RNA (RNA4) of BMV are distributed among three physically inseparable virions. Using the Agrobacterium-mediated transient expression approach worked out in the PI’s lab, we propose to assemble in planta – one at a time – the three virion particles of BMV, i.e., capsids containing only RNA1 (B1 capsids) or RNA (B2 capsids) or RNA3+4 (B3/4 capsids). The dynamics of each capsid type will be evaluated at UCLA by mass spectra following trypsin digestion, and by measuring the relative translation efficiencies of each of the three virions in cell-free extract. A combination of cryo electron microscopy (cryoEM) imaging and high-resolution 3D reconstruction of the virions will be carried out at the CNSI, facilitated by the Titan Krios apparatus with electron counting cameras and the cutting-edge software codes developed by Zhou that make possible the quantification of the structures and dynamics of capsid and RNA. To elucidate the role of RNA content on the dynamical properties of the capsids, experiments similar to these with the pure-RNA wild-type virions will be performed with virus-like particles (VLPs) reconstituted in vitro at UCLA, containing non-viral messenger RNA molecules designed at UCI to affect differently the dynamics of capsids vis a vis their proteolysis and translation properties. The goals of the project are two-fold: first to develop and demonstrate new technology and methodology for determination of the structure and dynamics of the protein and RNA components of infectious viruses and virus-like particles; and second to establish the role of capsid dynamics in determining the relative translation efficiencies and infectivities of different RNA viruses.
Parental attitudes toward involvement in the lives of adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities following residential transition

Year: 2014

description: This study attempted to examine parental experiences leading up to, and following the transition of their son or daughter with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) to a community-based residential placement. This is a field of study that has not been sufficiently researched, despite the increasing number of adults with IDD who have moved out of their parental home and into community-based residences in recent years. For the purposes of this study, the researcher performed semi-structured interviews with six parents of adults who had been diagnosed with IDD and had been subsequently transitioned into community-based residences. Through the use of an Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) research design, the researcher identified several phenomena, which arose across the participants that warrant further study and examination. Specifically, the researcher found that the participants’ descriptions could be clustered around three main superordinate themes: balancing independence and protection, the redefinition of the parent’s identity, and the practical and emotional preparation and response to the transition itself. As these phenomena are further researched in the transition process from parental home to community-based residence, it is proposed that better outcomes for all involved will be experienced.

Range: The greater long-tailed hamster occurs throughout the Korean Peninsula and Jeju Island (Fig. 116).
Remarks: Thomas (1907b) found specimens from Korea larger in size than those from China. In Korea, including Jeju Island, the Subspecies T. t. nestor occurs (Jones & Johnson 1965). Koh et al. (2013) showed that the subpopulation from Jeju Island was an allopatric phylogroup. However, the subspecific status of greater long-tailed hamster from Jeju Island remains uncertain.
Conservation status: Koh et al. (2013) advocated that the rare, endemic, genetically distinct, population of T. t. nestor Thomas, 1907 on Jeju Island required special protection as an endangered species.

description: We propose to form a consortium of biologists and engineers to investigate how blood vessels know when to grow and shrink, and how can we control these decisions to fight human diseases such as cardiovascular disease, macular degeneration and cancer. Cells in blood vessels experience many mechanical stimuli: fluid stresses, tension/compression as the heart beats, stresses at the interfaces between neighboring cells and the matrix surrounding them. We know forces play important roles in vascular growth and maintenance, but the ways by which mechanical signals are sensed, processed and converted to biological outputs are not understood. And since these signals are typically generated and processed deep within tissues, manipulation and analysis is nearly impossible. Answering these fundamental questions requires new specialized engineering tools to measure cell forces and mechanics, and new biological systems that allow in situ manipulation of living vessels. Our team has exactly the expertise and tools needed to succeed, including a model organism with completely untapped potential for discovery: the marine organism Botryllus schlosseri. Botryllus grows abundantly off the CA coast and we have recently shown it offers unexpected, unique advantages in studying vascular mechanics and signaling. This proposal will add an entirely new aspect to the UC’s already considerable strength in vascular disease and engineering, putting us on the forefront of using the unexploited potential of new models, while simultaneously integrating our substantial marine resources into a larger biomedical context. This combination will provide extraordinary opportunities for training, discovery and innovation, and improved health outcomes to the citizens of CA. We propose collaborative research projects among the founding consortium members to dissect how cells sense and react to mechanical signals, while identifying reagents and conditions that enhance or suppress responses. We will provide coupled training in engineering and biology to graduate and undergraduate students, and anticipate that this work will lead to conference presentations, publications, intellectual property development, and future funding opportunities. At the same time, we will expand our consortium to leverage unique CA resources and tackle even more complex questions in human biology through a sustainable, large-scale systemwide effort on Vascular Mechanics and Mechanobiology.

Herrera turbida

description: Herrera turbida (Jacobi, 1907) n. comb., new record
Carineta turbida Jacobi 1907: 17. (Callanga, Peru)
REMARKS. While identify specimens of this species, I observed that the head width is greater than the mesothorax width in this species. A head as wide as or wider than the mesonotum is characteristic of species of the genus Herrera while the head is not as wide as the mesonotum in species of Carineta (see comments on the genera above). The lateral pronotum is not strongly angled mediad in this species as in species of Carineta. Therefore, based on the head being wider than the mesonotum and the shape of the prothorax, the species is reassigned to Herrera to become Herrera turbida (Jacobi, 1907) n. comb.
This species can be distinguished from the other Bolivian species of Herrera by the reduced mesothoracic markings and copious piceous pile radiating from the dorsal surface of all body regions in this species.
DISTRIBUTION. The species has been reported previously only from Peru (Metcalf 1963c).
MATERIAL EXAMINED FOR NEW RECORD. The FSCA has specimens from Dept. Santa Cruz, 1 km. S.

Ondatra zibethicus

description: Ondatra zibethicus (Linnaeus, 1766) —Common Muskrat
Castor zibethicus Linnaeus, 1766 p.79; Type locality- East Canada.
Ondatra zibethicus: Won, 1968 p.200; Yoon, 1992 p.76; Han, 1994 p.47; Won & Smith, 1999 p.26; Han, 2004c p.140.
Range: The species has a distribution from the lower reaches of Duman River (river on the border between North Korea and China or North Korea and Russia) and adjacent lakes or reservoirs to the northeastern tip of the Korean Peninsula (Fig. 118). Although muskrat farms exist in South Korea, no established wild population exists. One escapee was caught in 2014 during nutria control at Geum River, Cheonju, South Korea (Jo et al. 2017a).
Remarks: Muskrats appeared on the Korean Peninsula in 1965 after introduced populations from the Russian Far East had expanded into extreme northeastern Korea. More recently, fur farmers in South Korea have started to import this species in 2005. Due to the high market value of the animal (the price of one live muskrat is $600–1000 USD), breeders rarely lose this expensive animal and only one confirmed escape of a muskrat from a farm occurred in South Korea in 2014. However, there is a high risk that this species is released and invade wetlands in South Korea, similarly to what happened with nutria (Myocastor coypus).

Selymbriini Moulds and Marshall 2018 (in Marshall et al. 2018): 53.
TYPE GENUS. Selymbria Stål 1861: 615.
REMARKS. The genus Selymbria was recently moved from the Taphurini to this new monogeneric tribe (Marshall et al. 2018). The basal position of the genus in the multi-gene tree suggests it is an ancient lineage and it is the only genus of Cicadidae to show similarity in the aedeagus structure to the two extant species of Tettigarcta of the Family Tettigarctidae Distant, 1905f (Marshall et al. 2018). The Selymbriini differ from the other Tibicininae tribes by the supra-antennal plate almost meeting the eye, the lack of an accessory auditory structure in the males, the undulated and not right-angled distally aedeagal basal plate, a very short theca that is laterally expanded into a broad flat distal end that is ornamented with triangular wings like species of the Tettigarctidae, and an exceedingly long uncus that is undivided and not retractable within the pygofer (Marshall et al. 2018).

description: Two long-acting muscarinic antagonist inhaler fixed dose combinations (olodaterol/tiotropium (OLO/TIO) and vilanterol/umeclidinium (VI/UMEC)) have once-a-day dosing for managing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This study aimed to compare clinical effectiveness of these inhalers in terms of ability to prevent severe COPD exacerbations in a United States Medicare population. Using nationally representative Medicare data (2013–2019), we employed a new user, active comparator design among beneficiaries aged 65 years and older with COPD. The outcome of interest was time to first occurrence of a severe COPD exacerbation. To ensure comparability between the groups, we performed 1:3 (OLO/TIO:VI/UMEC) nearest neighbor matching based on their high-dimensional propensity scores. The study included 2,263 OLO/TIO new initiators matched to 6,789 VI/UMEC new initiators. The incidence rate of the first severe COPD exacerbation was 40.8 per 100 person-years among new initiators (39.9 per 100 person-years for OLO/TIO, 41.1 per 100 person-years for VI/UMEC). The adjusted hazard ratio of the time to first COPD exacerbation was 0.948 (95% Confidence interval: 0.813–1.105) for individuals initiating OLO/TIO versus VI/UMEC. We did not find a statistically significant difference between the OLO/TIO and VI/UMEC new users in terms of time to first severe exacerbation among Medicare COPD patients aged 65 or older.

description: Increasing parental intervention in order to diminish the detrimental effects of social media sites
description: In the past decade, social networking sites (SNS) such as Facebook has become very popular among teenagers all over the world.  Many research studies have discovered that SNS negatively affects the mind and health of its users. SNS have triggered the rise of several societal hazards such as online bullying and identity theft that has had consequences as simple as suspension to even death. Thus, it has become extremely important for the parents to protect their children from the perils of SNS. Educating Indian parents by a presentation about negative effects of SNS was an awakening call for Indian parents residing in America. Parents were encouraged to renovate their childrearing methods by communicating and educating their children about the hazards of SNS, adopting parenting styles used in other third world countries, and involving children in extracurricular activities. Increasing parental control would not only help them to prevent their child from spending long hours on Facebook but it will also help Indian parents to preserve their Indian culture. Since this study is first of it kind a survey was given to 30 Indian parents. Likewise, the same survey was also distributed to 30 American parents. The results obtained indicated that parental intervention at a young age is essential and an appropriate solution to this dilemma. The p value was less than critical value, which made the hypothesis that increased parental intervention, is an appropriate solution to this problem. Due to the fact that the sample size was limited, further studies confirming these results are required.

Lasiopodomys

description: Genus Lasiopodomys Lataste, 1887
Lasiopodomys was considered a subgenus of Microtus or a full synonym of Phaiomys. Gromov and Polyakov (1992) regarded Lasiopodomys as a distinct genus from Microtus based on morphology (claw of the middle digit of the forelimb 2/3 of digit length in Lasiopodomys, much shorter in Microtus; tail length 1/5 trunk length in Lasiopodomys, greater than 1/ 5 in Microtus; auditory bullae do not protrude downward beyond molar row in Lasiopodomys, protrude beyond molar row in Microtus; three denticles on medial side M 3 in Lasiopodomys, more than three in Microtus). Musser and Carleton (2005) recognized three species in this genus, with only L. mandarinus occurring in Korea.

description: A prototype powered by water runoff
description: We have designed a device made from accessible repurposed materials (PVC pipes, wire) that would harness the energy captured from water run-off. Energy is generated by water running through a small water turbine inside a PVC pipe. The water is then purified as it passes through filters of different size and composition (carbon and iodine). Our intent was to design an affordable and easily constructed product that would provide both drinking water and energy to the global population without such amenities.

description: Can we change the property status of animals to “living property”?
description: Animals are considered “property” like other inanimate objects in a court of law. Most people are surprised when they learn that their beloved pet is worth only what they paid for it. David Favre proposes the idea of changing the property status of animals to that of “living property.” This new status would improve the treatment of and ensure the quality of life of animals. To initiate change in the property status of animals, we need to promote public awareness and solicit outcry to bring this to attention of our lawmakers.
