description: Financial stability allows families access to safe housing, healthy foods, and other necessities, engage fully in their communities, and plan for the future. (2019) This project focuses on addressing economic stability in Cleveland County, North Carolina. Children living in poverty are less likely to eat healthy foods, experience higher rates of neglect and abuse, low academic achievement, obesity, behavioral problems, and other issues which may follow children from their youth into adulthood (Haynie, 2014). The program, administered through the Cleveland County Health Department, will seek to increase wages in families of color by providing them with paid job skills training and higher wage job placement through an already existing and successful job training program. This initiative will achieve greater equity in Cleveland County and lessen the already exacerbated health disparities that exist in the community by allowing program participants to contribute more to the Cleveland County community and economy.

description: Although global vaccination efforts against SARS-CoV-2 are underway, the public is urged to continue using face masks as a primary intervention to control transmission. Recently, US public health officials have also encouraged doubling masks as a strategy to counter elevated transmission associated with infectious SARS-CoV-2 variants. US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention investigators reported that doubling masks increased effectiveness, but their assessment was limited in type and combinations of masks tested, as well as by the use of head forms rather than humans. To address these limitations, this study compared the fitted filtration efficiency (FFE) of commonly available masks worn singly, doubled, or in combinations.

Visualising the reception and circulation of early modern nuns’ letters
Creators: name: McShane, Bronagh
Publisher: name: University of Limerick
Year: 2022
Subjects: History, heritage and archaeology

description: This article applies network analysis tools to letters written by and about English Benedictine nuns living in Brussels during the seventeenth century in order to demonstrate the ways in which such an approach expands our picture of early modern religious communities, makes visible the protagonists of religious controversy, and advances debates about enclosure and anonymity. The dataset for this network analysis is taken from the RECIRC project database (the project is entitled “The Reception and Circulation of Early Modern Women’s Writing, 1550- 1700” http://recirc.nuigalway.ie/). The RECIRC project is producing a large-scale quantitative analysis of the ways in which women’s writing was received and circulated in the early modern English-speaking world; its database will be open-access from the project’s close. The project has captured reception data on a range of female-authored sources, including texts produced in English convents established in Europe during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The metadata extracted from the nuns’ letters that form the basis of this study have generated 1,188 reception records, each tracing a connection between a female author and a receiver. Network analysis is shown here to illuminate debates about the nature and extent of enclosure imposed upon early modern nuns, as well as the sheer breadth and diversity of their epistolary relationships. Furthermore, it exposes otherwise invisible protagonists in religious controversy, and progresses methodological debates about the presentation of data relating to anonymity.
HEALTHY CLEVELAND COUNTY STORE INITIATIVE: ADDRESSING FOOD INSECURITY IN FEMALE-LED, SINGLE-PARENT HOUSEHOLDS IN CLEVELAND COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA

description: Food insecurity is associated with poor built environment. Cleveland County, North Carolina has a high incidence of chronic disease which residents attribute to food insecurity. Approximately 17% of households suffer from food insecurity, which disproportionately affects female-led, single-parent households. The Healthy Cleveland County Store Initiative (HCCSI) is an evidenced-based program designed to combat food insecurity by increasing accessibility of healthy foods and nutrition education. To achieve this, the HCCSI will: 1) collaborate with frequented convenience stores to increase the number of nutrient-dense foods available on shelves, 2) increase WIC eligibility and value in selected stores, and 3) conduct nutrition classes to educate residents about the relationship between healthy eating and health outcomes. The intervention aims to empower female-led, single-parent households with nutrition resources in their built environment and to offer them the opportunity to enhance their family’s health by reducing food insecurity and its associated chronic disease burden.

description: Adipogenesis involves commitment of stem cells and their differentiation into mature adipocytes. It is tightly regulated by hormones, nutrients and adipokines. Many natural compounds are being tested for their anti-adipogenic activity which can be attributed to apoptosis induction in adipocytes, blocking adipocyte differentiation, or inhibiting intracellular triglyceride synthesis and accumulation. In this study, we have determined molecular mechanism of two phytocompounds: andrographolide (AN) and pterostilbene (PT) during differentiation of the human MSCs into adipocyte. Interestingly, AN upregulates miR27a, whereas, PT upregulated SIRT1 which inhibits the expression of PPARγ. Thus, our results clearly demonstrate that both AN and PT inhibited adipogenesis by blocking a surge of reactive oxygen species (ROS) during differentiation and inhibiting expression of crucial transcription factors like SREBP1c and PPARγ.

description: Our team aims to implement the Cooking Matters program to address rates of cardiovascular disease (CVD) for black adults ages 40 to 64 in Cleveland County, North Carolina. In Cleveland County, the leading cause of death is diseases of the heart, with a death rate of 254.7 per 100,000, which exceeds the state rate of 180.9 per 100,000 (Cleveland County, 2019). Cooking Matters will address CVD by focusing on the role nutrition plays in preventing and managing CVD. The Cooking Matters program was chosen mainly because it fit the community’s request for more affordable health services and nutrition education (“Cleveland County 2019 Community Health Assessment,” 2019). Our team will partner with community organizations to deliver a program that focuses on budgeting, accessing, and preparing meals that are heart-healthy. A prospective cohort study design will be used to evaluate the implementation of the Cooking Matters program in Cleveland County, North Carolina.

These results allow us to study $ϕ$-injectivity of certain Banach $A$-modules in commutative case, specially $\ell^{1}$-semilattice algebras. As an application, we give an example of a non-injective Banach module which is $ϕ$-injective for each character $ϕ.$

description: We present a model for producing tidal streams from disrupting progenitors in arbitrary potentials, utilizing the idea that the majority of stars escape from the progenitor's two Lagrange points. The method involves releasing test particles at the Lagrange points as the satellite orbits the host and dynamically evolving them in the potential of both host and progenitor. The method is sufficiently fast to allow large-dimensional parameter exploration using Monte Carlo methods. We provide the first direct modelling of 6-D stream observations -- assuming a stream rather than an orbit -- by applying our methods to GD-1. This is a kinematically cold stream spanning $60^{\circ}$ of the sky and residing in the outer Galaxy $\approx 15$ kpc distant from the centre. We assume the stream moves in a flattened logarithmic potential characterised by an asymptotic circular velocity $v_0$ and a flattening $q$. We recover values of normalisation $v_0$ = $227.2^{+15.6}_{-18.2}$ kms$^{-1}$ and flattening $q$ = $0.91^{+0.04}_{-0.1}$, if the stream is assumed to leading, and $v_0$ = $226.5^{+17.9}_{-17.0}$ kms$^{-1}$, $q$ = $0.90^{+0.05}_{-0.09}$, if it is assumed to be trailing. This can be compared to the values $v_0 = 224 \pm 13$ kms$^{-1}$ and $q= 0.87^{+0.07}_{-0.04}$ obtained by Koposov et al (2010) using the simpler technique of orbit fitting. Although there are differences between stream and orbit fitting, we conclude that orbit fitting can provide accurate results given the current quality of the data, at least for this kinematically cold stream in this logarithmic model of the Galaxy.

description: Autophagy is a protective mechanism important in human diseases as cancer. We evaluated the impact of khalas date extract (KDE) (20-60 mg/mL) on cell viability, morphological changes, DNA fragmentation and gene expression of LC3B-II associated with autophagosome on HepG2 cell line. The GC/MS identification of KDE showed its high content of flavonoids including quercetin, myricetin, kaempferol and catechol. KDE reduced cell viability of HepG2 with IC50 (31.52 mg/mL). Cells treated with KDE showed two band of DNA fragments at (30 and 40 mg) indicating that KDE induced DNA damage and apoptosis in HepG2. The analysis RT-PCR data showed a 0.2-fold increase in the expression of LC3-B in the cells treated with KDE versus control. We concluded that, KDE flavonoids such as quercetin, myricetin kaempferol exhibited anticancer properties manifested by inhibition of HepG2 cell viability and induction of apoptosis and upregulation of the pro-autophagy LC3-B gene.

description: Economic stability is a social determinant of health that measures poverty and economic opportunity and establishes target objectives to reduce the proportion of people living in poverty. Female-headed households experience higher rates of poverty and food insecurity compared to other populations in Cleveland County, North Carolina (NC). The objective is to increase economic stability and food security among female-headed households in Cleveland County. This proposal describes a fruit and vegetable program that provides funds to women and children to improve diet quality and food security. Additionally, a tax support program will boost tax returns and tax credits received through the support of a Volunteer Income Tax Assistance site. These two policies have the potential to increase economic stability and improve food security among female-headed households in Cleveland County, NC. The Cleveland County Government and Department of Health will lead these policies and will rely on the support of local partners.

description: We present a series of high-resolution (20-2000 Msun, 0.1-4 pc) cosmological zoom-in simulations at z~6 from the Feedback In Realistic Environment (FIRE) project. These simulations cover halo masses 10^9-10^11 Msun and rest-frame ultraviolet magnitude Muv = -9 to -19. These simulations include explicit models of the multi-phase ISM, star formation, and stellar feedback, which produce reasonable galaxy properties at z = 0-6. We post-process the snapshots with a radiative transfer code to evaluate the escape fraction (fesc) of hydrogen ionizing photons. We find that the instantaneous fesc has large time variability (0.01%-20%), while the time-averaged fesc over long time-scales generally remains ~5%, considerably lower than the estimate in many reionization models. We find no strong dependence of fesc on galaxy mass or redshift. In our simulations, the intrinsic ionizing photon budgets are dominated by stellar populations younger than 3 Myr, which tend to be buried in dense birth clouds. The escaping photons mostly come from populations between 3-10 Myr, whose birth clouds have been largely cleared by stellar feedback. However, these populations only contribute a small fraction of intrinsic ionizing photon budgets according to standard stellar population models. We show that fesc can be boosted to high values, if stellar populations older than 3 Myr produce more ionizing photons than standard stellar population models (as motivated by, e.g., models including binaries). By contrast, runaway stars with velocities suggested by observations can enhance fesc by only a small fraction. We show that "sub-grid" star formation models, which do not explicitly resolve star formation in dense clouds with n >> 1 cm^-3, will dramatically over-predict fesc.

Besides well established PDG 4-star $Λ$ resonances around this energy range, the $Λ(1600){1\over 2}^+$ resonance, listed as a 3-star resonance in PDG, is found to be definitely needed. In addition, there is strong evidence for the existence of a new $Λ({3\over 2}^+)$ resonance around 1680 MeV.

Year: 2021

description: Recognizing that STEM disciplines, including neuroscience, have a long way to go to attract and retain diverse talent, educators can take action by being more intentional about their departmental curricula, course design, and pedagogical strategies. A deep body of research suggests that one way we can promote inclusion is through the use of high impact practices (HIPs). These active learning teaching practices promote deep learning and student engagement and have been shown to have a positive differential impact on historically underserved student populations. Here we describe the characteristics of two different types of HIP courses, makerspace classes, and course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs). In addition, we provide ideas for how these courses can be structured to help all students engage and learn. With experience overseeing a large campus-wide program introducing these course types to the curriculum, we also provide insights about faculty experiences and assessment. We propose that including these types of courses in a curriculum can engage a more diverse group of students to choose neuroscience as a major and as a career.

description: The antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of Fraxinus excelsior L. and Eschscholtzia californica Cham. mother tinctures against a range of foodborne bacteria were investigated to determine the major components and to analyse the action spectrum and antimicrobial effectiveness of the extracts. Results demonstrated a significant antioxidant activity of Fraxinus excelsior L. and a lower activity of Eschscholtzia californica Cham. and a good chemical phenolic composition with the highest content of flavonoids. The Fraxinus excelsior L. and Eschscholtzia californica Cham. mother tinctures demonstrated a middle-high antimicrobial activity against, respectively, 66.67% and 43.33% of all tested bacteria. The inhibitory activity showed a moderate effect on the growth of the sensitive strains in presence of extracts minimum inhibitory concentration. The synergistic actions of bioactive compounds detected in the extracts might be on the basis of antioxidant and biological activities observed and should be used in pharmaceutical, food preservation, alternative medicine and natural therapies fields.

description: There are many studies in the literature on thymoquinone (TQ)-related cancer cells and models, and there is no relevant study investigating the efficacy of the oxime derivative of TQ (TQ-Ox). This study synthesized TQ-Ox and examined its cytotoxic, genotoxic and apoptotic properties in ovarian cancer cells. The structure TQ-Ox was confirmed with NMR. The cytotoxicity by luminometric ATP, intracellular reactive oxygen species (iROS) by fluorometric, intracellular calcium (iCa2+) by fluorometric, mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) by flow cytometry, glutathione (GSH) levels with GSH/GSSG-Glo assay, DNA damage by comet assay, and apoptosis by acridine orange/ethidium bromide dye were determined. Concentrations of TQ-Ox were statistically increased cytotoxicity, DNA damage, apoptosis, iROS, and iCa2+ in a concentration-dependent manner (p < 0.001). Besides, MMP and GSH levels also decreased statistically significantly (p < 0.001) with increasing concentrations. TQ-Ox would be an effective treatment option by increasing cytotoxicity, genotoxicity, and apoptosis in ovarian carcinoma.

description: Alkylamides are secondary metabolites in Acmella oleracea and display wide applications in treating several diseases. Since alkylamides can inhibit pain, this work aims to evaluate the antinociceptive profile of A. Oleracea methanolic extracts used in vivo and in silico assays. The extracts inhibited the neurogenic and inflammatory phases of the formalin test, ratifying the antinociceptive effect of alkylamides. Furthermore, the results from molecular docking demonstrated the interaction of A. oleracea alkylamides with the CB1/CB2 and TRPV1 receptors. Additionally, the crude methanolic extract of flowers did not induce potential side effects related to the classical cannabinoid tetrad: hypolocomotion and catalepsy. In conclusion, this work confirms the potential of the alkylamides of A. Oleracea as antinociceptive agents and, for the first time, correlates its effects with the endocannabinoid and vanilloid systems through in silico assays.

description: A previously unreported secoiridoid glycoside, cruciatoside (1) was isolated from the aerial parts of Gentiana cruciata L. along with ten known compounds eustomoside (2), eustomorusside (3), gentiopicroside (4), 6'-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl gentiopicroside (5), loganic acid (6), isoorientin (7), isovitexin (8), isovitexin 2''-(E)-ferulate (9), mangiferin (10), and 2-methyl-inositol (11). The chemical structures of the isolates were elucidated based on extensive 1 D and 2 D NMR experiments as well as HRMS analysis. All isolates were evaluated for their in vitro anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities. Compounds 9, 4, and 7 (200 µM) showed moderate anti-inflammatory activity by inhibiting nitrite production from LPS-induced RAW 264.7 macrophage cells, with the inhibition rates of 39.5%, 25.8% and 22.9% respectively without exhibiting substantial cytotoxicity. Besides, 1, 2, 4, and 7 exerted the highest decrease in IL-6 levels. Moreover, compound 4 showed in vitro analgesic activity by decreasing the PGE2 level comparable to the reference drugs.

description: Ensemble modeling of CMEs provides a probabilistic forecast of CME arrival time which includes an estimation of arrival time uncertainty from the spread and distribution of predictions and forecast confidence in the likelihood of CME arrival. The real-time ensemble modeling of CME propagation uses the WSA-ENLIL+Cone model installed at the CCMC and executed in real-time. The current implementation evaluates the sensitivity of WSA-ENLIL+Cone model simulations of CME propagation to initial CME parameters. We discuss the results of real-time ensemble simulations for a total of 35 CME events between January 2013 - July 2014. For the 17 events where the CME was predicted to arrive at Earth, the mean absolute arrival time prediction error was 12.3 hours, which is comparable to the errors reported in other studies. For predictions of CME arrival at Earth the correct rejection rate is 62% and the false-alarm rate is 38%. The arrival time was within the range of the ensemble arrival predictions for 8 out of 17 events. The Brier Score for CME arrival predictions is 0.15 (where 1 is a perfect forecast), indicating that on average, the predicted likelihood of CME arrival is fairly accurate. The reliability of ensemble CME arrival predictions is heavily dependent on the initial distribution of CME input parameters, particularly the median and spread. Preliminary analysis of the probabilistic forecasts suggests undervariability, indicating that these ensembles do not sample a wide enough spread in CME input parameters. Prediction errors can also arise from ambient model parameters, the accuracy of the solar wind background derived from coronal maps, or other model limitations. Finally, predictions of the Kp geomagnetic index differ from observed values by less than one for 11 out of 17 of the ensembles and Kp prediction errors computed from the mean predicted Kp show a mean absolute error of 1.3.

description: Education Access and Quality focuses on components of language, literacy, early development, and higher education attainment. Cleveland County (CC) has a high school (HS) graduation rate lower than the NC average. There are several factors influencing the number of students successfully graduating within four-years, including income disparities, the ease of transition into HS, and student mental health. Given the strong influence of mental health on student academic achievement, the High School Mental Health Program (HSMHP) proposes a requirement for all CC public HSs to have a ratio of 250 students to 1 counselor. The proposed nutrition program focuses on increasing participation in school breakfast to improve educational attainment by expanding the School Breakfast Program in CC HSs. The goals of the following policy and program aim to provide public CC HSs with the proper social and nutritional supports through targeted programs to increase HS graduation rates.

description: Adipogenesis involves commitment of stem cells and their differentiation into mature adipocytes. It is tightly regulated by hormones, nutrients and adipokines. Many natural compounds are being tested for their anti-adipogenic activity which can be attributed to apoptosis induction in adipocytes, blocking adipocyte differentiation, or inhibiting intracellular triglyceride synthesis and accumulation. In this study, we have determined molecular mechanism of two phytocompounds: andrographolide (AN) and pterostilbene (PT) during differentiation of the human MSCs into adipocyte. Interestingly, AN upregulates miR27a, whereas, PT upregulated SIRT1 which inhibits the expression of PPARγ. Thus, our results clearly demonstrate that both AN and PT inhibited adipogenesis by blocking a surge of reactive oxygen species (ROS) during differentiation and inhibiting expression of crucial transcription factors like SREBP1c and PPARγ.

description: The galaxy stellar mass function (GSMF) at high-z provides key information on star-formation history and mass assembly in the young Universe. We aimed to use the unique combination of deep optical/NIR/MIR imaging provided by HST, Spitzer and the VLT in the CANDELS-UDS, GOODS-South, and HUDF fields to determine the GSMF over the redshift range 3.54. These results confirm the unique synergy of the CANDELS+HUDF, HUGS, and SEDS surveys for the discovery and study of moderate/low-mass galaxies at high redshifts.
