description: Research shows that positive student-teacher attachment relationships contribute to positive student outcomes including higher academic achievement, better school adjustment, and greater social-emotional functioning.  Additionally, these relationships serve as protective factors for disadvantaged children exposed to various life stressors.  For young English language learners, language skills and the ability to communicate with teachers influences the development of these relationships, especially in predominately English speaking classrooms.  Given the differences in language skills of these children, it is important to understand how language proficiency affects the development of student-teacher relationships.  This study examined 313 Hispanic preschool children ages 3 to 5 years old, from low-income families of an urban school district in the Northeast.  Findings from hierarchical regression analyses suggest that language proficiency has a significant impact on student-teacher relationships.  Teachers tended to rate their relationships as closer with students demonstrating greater English or Spanish proficiency skills than students with low language skills in either language. Additionally, teachers tended to rate their relationships with females as closer and reported experiencing fewer conflicts than with male students.   The implications of this study are discussed.

Lesser Brocket
Mazama nanus
French: Mazame nain / German: Kleinmazama / Spanish: Corzuela menor
Other common names: Brazilian Dwarf Brocket, Dwarf Red Brocket, Pigmy Brocket
Taxonomy. Cervus nanus Hensel, 1872,
Rio Grande do Sul (Brazil).
Originally it was included in M. rufina. It is closely related to M. bororo. Although the name appears frequently as M. nana, the original nanus is a noun and must remain unchanged. Monotypic.
Distribution. SE Brazil, SE Paraguay, and N Argentina.
Descriptive notes. Head-body 70 cm, tail estimated 9-12 cm, shoulder height 45-50 cm; weight 14-16 kg. Small-sized brocket with small ears; forelegs shorter than hindlegs. The coat is reddish-chestnut. There is evidence of an annual cycle of antler growth and casting in the captive animals in Argentina. In Brazil this cycle apparently does not exist. The diploid number of chromosomesis 36.
Habitat. It is associated with mixed wet forests and southern pine (Awracaria) woodlands. It mainly lives in mountainous regions covered with dense vegetation. The habitat in eastern Paraguay is moist forest with an understory of bamboo thickets.
Food and Feeding. Nothing is known, but surely a browser on fruits, leaves, and shoots of various plants, like other species of Mazama.
Breeding. Birth have been observed between September and February. Females give birth to a single fawn weighing 1.1-3 kg.
Activity patterns. Their behavior is almost unknown but they appear to be active both by day and at night.
Movements, Home range and Social organization. Basically solitary, but no field studies available.
Status and Conservation. Classified as Data Deficient on The IUCN Red List. It is considered the most threatened deer of Brazil. It is probably declining, due to habitat loss (timber exploitation, expansion of agriculture) and range fragmentation.

description: Heavy drinking smokers constitute a sub-population of smokers with a distinct clinical profile and treatment needs. Currently, there are no available pharmacological treatments tailored to heavy drinking smokers who wish to quit smoking. One of the ways in which treatments can be optimized is through the combination of effective pharmacotherapies for smoking and drinking. Varenicline (VAR) is an FDA approved smoking cessation medication that has also been shown to reduce alcohol craving and consumption. Naltrexone (NTX) is an FDA approved medication for alcohol use disorder that has been shown to improve smoking quite rates in heavy drinking smokers. Together these medications may offer a promising pharmacotherapy option for heavy drinking smokers.

 Gender differences exist in relation to cigarette use and quitting efforts. Women have been shown to experience greater nicotine withdrawal symptoms, craving, and negative affect in comparison to men when trying to quit smoking. Women have also been shown to have less success than men when they do attempt to quit smoking. These gender differences may be due to hormone levels linked to menstrual cycle effects or hormonal contraceptive use.

 The project aims to examine possible pathways through which these two medications, varenicline and naltrexone, can alter quit smoking outcomes, as well as clarify how gender-related factors influence the effects of these two medications. The project will use data that is currently being collected as part of a clinical trial examining the effects of VAR alone versus the combination of VAR + NTX for smoking cessation in a sample of heavy-drinking daily smokers. Participants will set a quit date as part of the study. All participants are instructed to continue the study medications for 12 weeks and will return to the laboratory for follow-ups at 2, 8, 12, 16, and 26 weeks post-quit date. The project will examine how nicotine withdrawal may serve as one pathway by which these medications have an effect. The project will also examine if there are difference between men and women in response to medications, and examine among women if hormone levels, hormonal contraceptive use, and menstrual cycle phase predict smoking abstinence.

description: Growing evidence points to the role of tobacco smoking pancreatic cancer (PanC). Bring one of the most aggressive tumors that lacks effective therapy and markers for early detection, the proposed studies will focus on understanding a newly identified regulatory pathway in PanC.

 The foundation for the proposed research was our discovery that the proteins RNF125 and NR5A2 are expressed at higher levels in PanC than in normal tissue, suggesting they may be involved in cancer development. Indeed, decreasing the levels of these proteins in PanC killed many cells and inhibited tumors in mice. These observations led to the current application to study this novel RNF125/NR5A2 regulatory pathway in PanC, with attention to patients with a smoking history.

 Further justification for our study comes from the finding that RNF125 and NR5A2 are expressed at abnormally high or low levels in lung cancer and other smoking-related disorders, including emphysema and steroid-resistant chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. These observations suggest that understanding the RNF125/NR5A2 pathway in PanC will have direct implications for other smoking-related cancers and disorders.

 Our proposed studies will analyze mouse and human PanC cells in culture and in mouse models. We will identify proteins that are responsive to RNF125, NR5A2, allowing us to understand how they affect tumor growth, metastasis, and response to chemotherapeutic drugs. We will define their significance for PanC. At all phases of our study, we will work with prominent oncologists, who will provide guidance on the significance and possible implications of our findings.

 Completion of our proposed studies is expected to identify novel markers for pancreatic cancer. Our studies will increase our understanding of the mechanisms underlying pancreatic cancer development and metastasis, thereby identifying potential novel therapeutics to improve clinical management of this and other smoking-related disorders.

description: We propose to assess the effectiveness of combining clinic-based cessation for commercial tobacco with environmental prevention strategies to reduce availability of and exposure to commercial nicotine products for youth in nine contiguous rural reservation-based California Indian Tribes. Representatives of these Tribes on the clinic board have expressed concern about adolescent use of new and emerging nicotine products. To date there have been no systematic tobacco prevention programs on the nine reservations. Incomplete Tribal clinic records suggest that 20-25% of adult patients are current tobacco users, indicating a risk for youth exposure to secondhand smoke. The clinic as yet has no formal smoking cessation program, nor are all patients screened. Prior collaborative efforts with this clinic have shown the combination of individual treatment and environmental prevention to be effective in reducing harmful alcohol use among underage youth in this population. We propose to adapt these strategies for tobacco prevention, utilizing a community-based participatory research framework to deeply engage with both grassroots community members and with Tribal leaders. For our community-level environmental prevention, we will (1) implement a Reward and Reminder program to encourage reservation area tobacco retailers to comply with State of California standards prohibiting sales of nicotine and commercial tobacco products to youth under 21; and (2) For our individual-level, clinic-based cessation program we propose to (1) consistently screen adult clinic patients for commercial tobacco use and dependence, and exposure to commercial tobacco use; (2) train clinic staff in smoking cessation counseling and nicotine-replacement therapy (NRT); and (3) assess the effectiveness of these strategies in reducing tobacco use and dependence in a sample of adults. We will develop youth advisory councils to conduct a youth participatory action research component to identify and develop culturally- and age-appropriate program implementation and encourage Tribal resolutions in support of smoke-free Tribal homes and service facilities. We will evaluate the effectiveness of our translational strategies through assessment of reward and reminder outcomes in stores, adoption of smoke-free policies by local tribes, and both enrollment and quit rates from the smoking cessation program.

description: Nicotine addiction results in numerous negative health consequences and millions of deaths each year. While the use of tobacco cigarettes has generally declined in recent years, this has been met with an unparalleled increase in the use of electronic cigarettes. After an individual consumes nicotine, nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the brain are activated, leading to the development of addiction. This proposed research will investigate the role of proteins that interact with the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, which regulate nicotine's actions in the brain. By providing fundamental insights into novel cellular mechanisms that underlie nicotine dependence, findings from these studies may identify targets for the development of more efficacious therapeutics to treat nicotine/smoking dependence in humans.

description: It is well-known that women who smoke while pregnant can face pregnancy complications and their children can have lasting health problems. We are now learning that smoking during pregnancy may also affect the health of grandchildren, possibly by changing hereditary characteristics that are passed down. Although smoking rates have declined, many women currently giving birth in California have mothers who smoked while they were pregnant. This study will help us learn whether health problems in future generations are related to smoking while pregnant, and whether black and white mothers and children are affected in the same way. We will examine 235,000 birth records and blood samples linked across two generations, from 1982 to 2013. To test whether women in the first generation (grandmothers) smoked while they were pregnant, we will look for a chemical formed by smoking in 2,400 stored blood samples from their newborn daughters (future mothers). We will link to health records to find out which of those daughters eventually became obese or had high blood pressure when they became pregnant, and which of their children (the grandchildren) were born preterm or later developed autism. We will then compare whether those health problems are related to the grandmother’s smoking while pregnant. These health problems are more common in black mothers and children, and sometimes in people with less education or income. The study will demonstrate whether smoking while pregnant was more common in grandmothers from these groups as well. Using statistical models, we will learn how much grandmother smoking while pregnant explains increased health problems in black or low income mothers and children in future generations. This kind of study can only be done in a state with as large and diverse population as California. Findings from this study could lead to more effective tobacco policies, change the way doctors ask about tobacco use, and educate women about the very long-term risks associated with smoking while pregnant.

description: To identify new therapeutic targets for tobacco-related cancer, we have focused on stem cell programs that are reactivated in lung cancer. Previously, we demonstrated that the stem cell signal Musashi-2 (Msi2) is highly upregulated during liquid and solid cancer development and that its blockade can inhibit tumor growth and progression. This work was important because it identified a new role for Msi2 as a key regulator of cancer progression in vivo and as an early indicator of poor prognosis. Recently we have found that Msi2 may also be important in the progression of non-small cell lung cancer, which suggests that targeting Msi2 may provide a new strategy for therapy. In this study, we will further investigate the role of Msi2 in non-small cell lung cancer as well as whether Msi2 might also be important in small cell lung cancer. To move this work forward to the clinic, we propose to test the efficacy of novel inhibitors of Msi2 against cancer growth. These studies have the potential to identify a new class of therapeutics for devastating tobacco-related lung cancers that are largely unresponsive to current therapies.
Conceptualizing cognitive-behavioral supervision

Year: 2013

description: Although supervision plays a key role in the training of psychologists and in improving adherence to Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), there is a scarcity of systematic knowledge on the supervision of CBT therapists. In response, Judith Beck’s supervision model has been a valuable development. However, there remains a dearth of research on the supervision practices of doctoral-level CBT supervisors in the field, and whether they adhere to Beck’s model. The current exploratory study investigated the practices of doctoral-level CBT supervisors along the following five dimensions: (a) the structure of CBT supervision, (b) attending to supervisees’ emotions, thoughts and behaviors, (c) relationship factors, (d) evaluation of supervisees, and (e) self-evaluation. In addition, this study assessed the extent to which supervisors followed Beck’s supervision model. A semi-structured interview was conducted with 10 experienced doctoral-level CBT supervisors. The participants had a median of 10 years of experience as CBT supervisors and &0% attained Diplomate or Fellow Certification with the Academy of Cognitive Therapy. The interviews were analyzed using a content analysis approach based on the five major topic domains outlined above. Case examples were also provided to further illustrate the supervision practices of three individual supervisors. Findings indicated that the supervision practices of supervisors in this sample were very similar along the five dimensions, and were also mostly consistent with Beck’s supervision model. More specifically, supervisors described their supervision structure as mirroring CBT therapy sessions (e.g., check-in, agenda setting, and problem solving); emphasized attending to supervisee’s thoughts if they interfere with the patient’s treatment; and stressed the importance of creating a collaborative and collegial relationship with supervisees. On the other hand, supervisors did not generally listen to entire therapy tapes and use rating scales to assess therapy sessions due to time constraints. Moreover, supervisors emphasized the importance of attending to supervisees’ emotions in supervision as well as the importance of increasing autonomy in CBT supervision, neither of which are explicitly discussed in Beck’s supervision model. Implications for future research are discussed, along with recommendations for CBT supervisors and training programs.
Investigating the degree to which behavior management methods are used in the classroom

description: The purpose of the current research was to explore any differences or correlations between self-reported teacher use of behavior management strategies and the use observed by an independent observer.  The study examined seven teachers in a suburban central New Jersey town by observing three separate times and giving out a survey with similar questions to the structured observation.  Behavior management strategies highlighted were individual positive reinforcement, group positive reinforcement, planned ignoring, redirection, time out, and punishment.  In order to analyze the data, correlational analyses were run.  First, individual teachers’ responses were correlated with independent observations, finding that about half of teachers’ self-reports highly correlated with independent observations.  Second, teacher self-reports were correlated by behavior management strategy with independent observations yielding mixed results.  The study was exploratory in nature and more research with larger and more varied populations is needed.
The psychoanalytic state of mind

Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2013

description: This theoretical study explores the evolution of psychoanalytic technique from Freud to the contemporary Freudian school, through the lens of implicit and explicit recommendations about the optimal state of the analyst’s mind at work, in particular the use of the analyst’s subjective experience. Freud’s writing on this topic presented paradoxical ideas about the analyst’s state of mind that were dealt with differently by different thinkers within the classical Freudian tradition in North American psychoanalysis. The author focuses on the differences between Hartmann and Loewald’s thinking about psychoanalytic interaction and technique, particularly their different conceptions of reality and development. The contemporary Freudian school is then discussed in the context of Loewald’s thought. The contemporary Freudian school has integrated Loewaldian, theoretical ideas into explicit, clinical writing about technique, and can be seen as both a continuation of the Freudian tradition and an important intellectual force in contemporary psychoanalysis.

description: Our research group used automated robots to test over 1 million small molecule chemicals to find new drugs that kill brain cancer cells while not harming healthy brain tissue. We discovered a highly active compound called RIPGBM that kills brain cancer cells ten times better than regular, healthy cells. The compound has this effect by acting on a protein called RIPK2. We discovered that RIPK2 may also be a driving force in lung cancer. Patients with lung cancers that have more of this protein have a lower survival expectancy than patients whose lung cancers have less of this protein. Based on this finding, we believe that by blocking the RIPK2 protein in lung cancer cells, we can develop a new targeted treatment for lung cancer with fewer side effects, based on our newly discovered compound RIPGBM. We will test this compound in 8 different lung cancer cell lines for lung cancer killing ability, and check if it harms healthy lung cells. To understand how this compound binds its target protein, we will take snap shots of the compound bound to the protein with atomic resolution using X-ray beams. Knowing how exactly it binds will allows us to design better versions of our original molecule and quickly develop new drugs for lung cancer, which very often is caused by tobacco use and smoking.

description: Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is an anxiety disorder in which distress and  impairment extend beyond the patient to their immediate family members. Many family  members become involved in their loved one’s compulsions by engaging in  accommodation behaviors, which ultimately make it easier to perform compulsions or  avoid obsession-invoking triggers. Accommodation behaviors can indirectly result in  negative consequences for the family member, such as reduced quality-of-life, and the  OCD individual in the form of more severe OCD symptoms and decreased motivation to  seek treatment. The current study utilized a single, case-study methodology to examine  whether providing a brief, ten-session behavioral treatment to an immediate family  member living with a non-treatment seeking OCD adult would result in reduced  accommodation, improved quality of life, and an increased motivation for the OCD adult  to seek help. Individual treatment was provided to the mother of an adult son, living at  home and diagnosed with OCD, over a three month period at an outpatient anxiety clinic  setting. The therapy focused on providing the mother with psychoeducation regarding the  nature of OCD and the negative impact of accommodation behaviors, developing  alternative coping behaviors in response to rituals, communication training, and the  promotion of self-care behaviors. Results indicated that the treatment was effective in  reducing accommodation and improving quality of life within the household, but that  more treatment was likely necessary in order to consolidate therapeutic gains. The  treatment did not appear to impact OCD treatment-seeking motivation for the OCDdiagnosed  son. Factors contributing to the results of the treatment are discussed, and suggestions are presented for future research directions. Family members living with OCD-diagnosed adults not currently seeking treatment can likely derive benefit from brief interventions designed to reduce accommodation behaviors, improve family communication, and promote self-care.

description: The field of reproductive medicine has grown in size and complexity over the past three decades. Psychologists have played a significant role in this expansion, not only as infertility counselors, but also as consultants, researchers, and psychological examiners. Given the rapid increase in technology, as well as societal trends involving different ways of building families, the field is likely to continue to grow very quickly, and psychologists’ roles in the field may become increasingly important. Few research studies have been conducted on psychologists’ experiences in the field of reproductive medicine. In the context of the changing landscape of reproductive medicine and the growing integration of medicine and psychology, this qualitative study aimed to explore the distinct experiences and unique roles of the psychologist in reproductive medicine. Twelve semi-structured interviews were completed with licensed psychologists specializing in reproductive medicine. Research questions explored psychologists’ daily activities and their experiences of their roles, including professional challenges, rewards, and the experience of interdisciplinary work. Psychologists were asked to discuss their training, whether there were differences between their practice and training, and if so, how they reconciled those differences. The researcher also sought to understand psychologists’ conceptualization of the relationship between psychology and reproductive medicine, what psychologists feel others should know about their roles, and how their skills may be best utilized. The interview data collected were analyzed to uncover qualitative themes. Overall, participants believed that their comprehensive training in scientific research, theory, and practice made them especially suitable for work in reproductive medicine. Training in psychological testing was brought up as a distinct and important contribution. Psychologists saw their contributions as valuable not only to patient care, but to the efficiency and well-being of reproductive medicine practices.  Obstacles included their experience of their roles as underutilized and undervalued and the challenges of working within a managed care health system. In sum, psychologists’ roles in reproductive medicine are distinct, valuable, and necessary for the evaluation and treatment of infertility patients and third-party candidates. Implications for reproductive medicine professionals and psychologists are discussed, both in terms of research and practice.

description: Ethnic identity is a construct that has been studied for decades in the field of psychology.  Much of this literature has focused on contextual factors that may contribute to the development of ethnic identity, as well as how ethnic identity impacts mental health.  The purpose of this study was to better understand ethnic identity across different racial and ethnic groups, which social factors are related to ethnic identity in adolescents, and the relationship between ethnic identity and adolescent depression.  In a sample of 186 adolescents, ethnic identity was higher in Hispanic youth than Black, Non-Hispanic or White, Non-Hispanic youth.  Greater parental support and feelings of school connectedness were predictive of concurrent ethnic identity; parental conflict was not significantly associated with ethnic identity.  Ethnic identity did not significantly predict concurrent depressive symptoms.  This study highlights the importance of positive social relationships in the development of adolescent ethnic identity.  Future research should incorporate general measures of well-being to better understand the relationship between ethnic identity and mental health during adolescence.

description: With legalization of adult marijuana use in California in January 2018, and reports of increasing use of ecigarettes and nicotine replacement products, Californians are being exposed to tobacco and marijuana in ways as never before. It is an important time to have accurate information about these exposures and their ill effects, especially among our most vulnerable populations. Because ill effects can occur in both users of these products and those exposed to the secondhand smoke and vapors, and because it is challenging to get accurate information about these exposures from surveys, we propose a timely study of pregnant women using an objective approach to define exposure to tobacco and marijuana-containing products. We will focus on a sample of 1800 pregnant women residing in the Southern and Central Valley regions of California from six race/ethnic groups (300 from each group) who are expected to have a range of exposures to tobacco and marijuana. These six groups are Native Americans, African Americans, Samoans, Vietnamese, Whites and Hispanics/Latinas who provided blood during 2018-2020 in mid-pregnancy for screening of various birth defects and who consented that their blood could be stored and used for approved research. Through laboratory analysis of the blood, we will measure markers of tobacco and marijuana across a wide range, from high levels found in users of these products to low levels found in non-users exposed to secondhand smoke and vapors. We will determine levels of the markers in the six race/ethnic groups. We will see whether those with high levels of the tobacco marker also have higher levels of the marijuana marker. In addition, we will assess how additional factors that may help target interventions, like age, type of medical insurance, neighborhood poverty level, and proximity to marijuana retailers, are related to the exposure markers. The findings of this study will be useful to communities, cultural groups, medical care providers and public health professionals in making focused efforts towards prevention of these exposures in pregnant women.

description: The sales of recreational marijuana became legal in California on January 1, 2018 for adults aged 21+. In 2016, 9.5% of California adults and 14.5% of California high school students reported having used marijuana at least one day in the past 30 days, compared to 13.6% of California adults and 4.3% of California high school students who reported smoked cigarettes. Previous studies emphasize the importance of understanding the interdependence of cigarettes and marijuana and suggest that policies affecting one may have unintended consequences on other. Thus, understanding how tobacco use responds to changes in policy of legalization of recreational marijuana sales in California is important. This study is to examine whether the legalization of recreational marijuana sales have an impact on cigarette consumption in California.

 It has four specific aims:

 Aim 1. Estimate the responsiveness of marijuana consumption to marijuana price and cigarette price changes. We will examine whether legalization of recreational marijuana sales and cigarette price changes have impact on the marijuana consumption.

 Aim 2. Estimate the responsiveness of cigarette consumption to marijuana price changes. We will examine whether legalization of recreational marijuana sales have impact on cigarette consumption.

 Aim 3. Estimate the responsiveness of marijuana consumption to marijuana price and cigarette price changes and the responsiveness of cigarette consumption to marijuana price changes simultaneously. We will examine whether legalization of recreational marijuana sales have impact on cigarette and marijuana consumption at same time.

 Aim 4. Estimate the responsiveness of marijuana consumption to marijuana price and cigarette price changes as well as responsiveness of cigarette consumption to marijuana price changes separately for different subpopulations stratified by age, household income, education, and race/ethnicity. We will examine whether legalization of recreational marijuana sales have impact on marijuana and cigarette consumption separately for subpopulations with higher prevalence of marijuana use: (1) youth and young adults (age 12-20), (2) low-income household; (3) less educated people; and (4) African Americans.

 Our findings will be useful for determining the potential impact of recreational marijuana legalization on cigarette consumption in California.

description: Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States and worldwide, and the overall 5-year survival rate is approximately 15%. The most common form of lung cancer is non-small cell lung cancer, which accounts for 85-90% of lung cancer cases. Among the various factors related to the lung cancer progression, smoking is a major cause of lung cancer initiation. In particular, smoking-induced pulmonary fibrosis is tightly associated with lung cancer development.

 Compared with normal tissue, cancerous lung tissues present a 10-50 fold increase in tissue rigidity, and this increasing matrix stiffness could epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). EMT is a complex coordination of a network of transcription factors and signal transduction pathways leading to altered expression of genes in cell adhesion, differentiation, and motility with an important implication for driving tumor progression. Prior models for EMT and matrix stiffness studies rely on static hydrogel in which cells experience defined matrix rigidities. These materials lack dynamic physical properties to mimic in vivo development from soft normal lung tissues to rigid lung tumors over time. Despite the critical functions of mechanical force in regulating cancer invasion and metastasis, how tissue rigidity or stiffness regulates lung cancer metastasis at the molecular level remains largely unknown.

 The main purpose of this proposal is to understand how increasing matrix stiffness promotes lung cancer metastasis through EMT. Recently, we developed a new hydrogel that can be stiffened “on demand” overtime. Since lung tissue is soft for decades prior to stiffening, this material directly mimics such physical change during tumor progression. Using this novel system, I plan to identify novel rigidity-regulated mechanotransduction pathways controlling lung cancer metastasis compared with normal lung epithelial cells. In addition, I will characterize the molecular functions of these proteins. Finally, I will test whether inhibiting the functions of these proteins could block EMT and metastasis of lung cancer in 3D condition and mice model. I hope that my research will provide a better understanding of EMT signaling in lung cancer upon matrix stiffening, and it will be key to the development of new therapeutic strategies to improve the prognosis of patients with this condition.
