"If It Wasn't My Race, It Was Other Things like Being a Woman, or My Disability": A Qualitative Research Synthesis of Students of Color with Disabilities in Education

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This Qualitative Research Synthesis (QRS) explores how K-16 students of color make meaning of their disability labels and negotiate the dominant ideologies around race, dis/ability, social class, gender and other forms of difference. Scholars in Disability Studies in Education explore critical connections between Disability Studies and Critical Race Theory (Annamma, Connor, & Ferri, 2013; Erevelles, Kanga & Middleton, 2006). This study identifies such critical connections by synthesizing 13 qualitative studies from 2006-2018 and explored the lived experiences of students of color labeled with disabilities QRS is a methodologically rigorous approach which "uses qualitative methods to analyze, synthesize, and (re)interpret the results from [existing] qualitative studies" (Major & Savin-Baden, 2010, p.10). We employed a resistance theory of disability at the intersections (Gabel & Peters, 2004; Giroux, 1983a, 1983b), that foregrounds the psycho-emotional disablism model of disability (Thomas, 1999), to recognize that students' acts of resistance directly relate to how they are systemically oppressed in schools. Findings from our second order analysis suggest that students identified disability labels as an assigned identity, which limited their educational opportunities and left psychological impacts on their well-being. However, students also used multiple strategies and acts of resistance to negotiate the stereotypical master narratives surrounding their intersectional identities. With the critical need to understand how students engaged in identity work, our synthesis is an initial attempt of its kind to critically synthesize students' identity work at their intersections for theory, research, practice and praxis for a more humane and just educational system for all.
A Note on Loop Amplitudes in QED

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

We consider the two-loop four-point amplitude in N=2 super QED, and show that there exists an approximate recursive structure similar to that captured by the ABDK/BDS ansatz for MHV amplitudes in N=4 super Yang-Mills. Furthermore, we present a simple relation between the box coefficients of one-loop photon MHV amplitudes in (super) QED, and sums of box coefficients of one-loop MHV amplitudes in (super) Yang-Mills.
Clinical and genetical approach to skeletal dysplasia

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The wide variation in phenotypic severity is one of the features of skeletal dysplasia. Sometimes the names of diseases are distinct to describe the difference in phenotype even when the same gene is responsible for the diseases. Such diseases are allelic and have similar features, although the severity and the survival rate are quite different. For example, mutations of the FGF receptor 3 (FGFR 3) gene are associated not only with achondroplasia, the most common chondrodysplasia, but also with thanatophoric dysplasia and hypochondroplasia.9 Another example is the case of the defects in the type II collagen gene including hypochondrogenesis, spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia, Kniest and Stickler diseases.10

Interpretation: Printed Document Examination and Evidence

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Abstract The literature dealing with the interpretation of results of examinations performed on “printed” documents is very limited. The absence of published literature reflects the absence of formal guidelines to help scientists assess the relationship between a questioned document and a particular printing technology. Generally, every printout, independent of the printing technology, may bear traces induced by characteristics of manufacture and/or acquired features of the printing device. A logical approach to help the scientist in the formal interpretation of such findings involves the consideration of a likelihood ratio. Three examples aim to show the application of this approach.
The Zooplankton of the Danube-Black Sea Canal in the First two Decades of the Ecosystem Existence

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Abstract This paper reports the invasive subspecies Podonevadne trigona ovum (Zernov, 1901), as dominant in the Danube-Black Sea Canal. In the first two years of the existence of the anthropogenic ecosystem (1985-1986) the zooplankton summarizes only 72 species. Over two decades it recorded the presence of 127 species. As a result of nutrient accumulation, in 2005, the zooplankton abundance has significantly increased, reaching 330 ind L -1 , followed by an evident growth of biomass (2285 μg wet weight L- 1) . In 2005, the productivity registered 731.8 μg wet weight L -1 /24h.
Succession in family business: multi-source perspectives

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Purpose Despite the extensive breadth of research into the critical challenge of succession in family business, generational succession in family business has been investigated from predominately one-dimensional perspective. The purpose of this paper is to respond to call for a multi-perspectives examination of leadership succession in order to embrace the dynamic and complex nature of succession in a family business. Accordingly, the authors investigated the key personal and professional factors associated with effective family-business succession across four key stakeholders: incumbent, successor, family, and nonfamily members. Design/methodology/approach The explanatory research design included 16 interviews in Phase 1 and 41 prospective case study interviews in Phase 2, both with Australian family businesses that had or were about to experience generational transition. Findings Incumbents and successor interview findings support the benefits of maintaining a cohesive family business, adaptable family culture, and familiness for effective succession. The authors also identified several personal components (e.g. family-business socialization and external experiences) that can help determine the commitment of successors and how this commitment can change once they assume a leadership position. Business size was the professional component supported by incumbent, successor, and nonfamily members as having a significant impact on succession process. As family business grows and becomes more highly complex, a clearly defined set of procedures become imperative. Practical implications Family-business practitioners can apply the findings to manage the processes and expectations of family and the business to achieve effective generational succession and thereby increase the sustainability of the business. Originality/value This research provides a coherent and comprehensive understanding of the interdependencies of competing priorities in the complex succession process that is essential for family-business sustainability and performance.
Expression of molecules of the Wnt pathway and of E‑cadherin in the etiopathogenesis of human thymomas

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The molecular pathogenesis of thymoma remains largely unknown. It has been recently demonstrated, that activation of Wnt signaling pathway leads to increased incidence of thymoma in murine models. The present study investigated the activation of molecules of the Wnt signaling pathway in human thymoma. A total of 112 thymoma cases with complete clinical and follow-up data and 8 controls were included in the present study. Patients with thymoma and controls were examined immunohistochemically for β-catenin and E-cadherin. The mRNA expression levels of CTNNB1, CCND1, MYC, AXIN2 and CDH1 were analyzed by reverse transcription-quantitative PCR. Immunohistochemically, β-catenin and E-cadherin were overexpressed in neoplastic cells of all thymomas. In type A, B1 and non-invasive type B2 thymoma, both molecules were located in the cytoplasm, in contrast to invasive type B2 and B3 thymoma, where membranous immunopositivities were observed. mRNA expression levels of genes involved in the Wnt pathway and of E-cadherin were significantly increased in both type A and B thymoma compared with controls; increasing gradually from type B1 to B3, and with higher stage of disease. In recurrent type B thymoma, the mRNA expression of the molecules was significantly higher. Despite the activation of Wnt pathway in indolent type A thymoma, the negative feedback of the pathway was preserved by overexpression of inhibitory molecule axin2, which was not overexpressed in type B thymoma. In summary, the Wnt pathway was activated in human thymoma and may contribute to oncogenesis. Detection of molecules of the Wnt pathway may be of diagnostic and prognostic value.
Social-Institutional Structures That Matter: A Quantitative Monograph of Sexual/Gender Minority Status and Income in Japan

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

While most previous studies examining the effects of sexual orientation on earnings rely on lesbian women, gay men, and their heterosexual counterparts in Western societies, this quantitative monograph argues that focusing on specific stratification processes based on various sexual/gender minority statuses as well as social-institutional structures of a society is indispensable to the theory of sexuality stratification. Using the LGBT Workplace Environment Survey 2015, this study explores the association between sexual/gender minority status and income in Japan. The analysis shows that there is a negative association between being a sexual/gender minority and income among both designated females at birth and designated males at birth. The results suggesting the lesbian premium found in Western economies are not observed in Japan. In addition, the findings indicate that the processes through which sexuality stratification operates depend on various categories of sexual/gender minorities such as lesbian, gay, bisexual, asexual, transgender, and a Japanese local transgender category “X-gender.”
Utility of SPECT and SPECT/CT for Localization of Spontaneous Cerebrospinal Fluid Leaks.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

1612 Objectives Spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid leaks can be a cause of chronic headaches. The diagnostic challenge is often localizing the CSF leak. As a result, multiple modalities have been employed to find the source of these CSF leaks. It has become a common practice to add SPECT or SPECT/CT at the time of the time of planar cisternography in hopes of identifying the location of these spontaneous CSF leaks. Our goal was to evaluate the utility of these additional tests in localizing spontaneous CSF leaks. Methods This study is a retrospective review of all patients that underwent Indium-111 DTPA cisternography for the evaluation of the spontaneous CSF leaks at a tertiary care academic center between 12/2007 and 2/2012. Results of subsequent diagnostic evaluations, including SPECT, SPECT/CT, CT myelography and MRI myelography, were reviewed for their ability to locate the suspected spontaneous CSF leak. Results A total of 638 patients that underwent nuclear medicine cisternography were reviewed. 194 of these patients underwent nuclear medicine cisternography SPECT or SPECT/CT. 15 of these patients demonstrated a possibly localizing CSF leak. 3 of these patients were subsequently found to have a leak by CT myelography. In only one patient did the site correlate with CT myelography. In total, 16 patients out of the 194 that underwent nuclear medicine cisternography with SPECT and/or SPECT/CT were ultimately found to have a CSF leak by myelography. Of these 16 patients, SPECT or SPECT/CT did not identify 2 and could not locate, or falsely located, the CSF leak in 13. Conclusions SPECT and SPECT/CT adds time, cost and/or radiation exposure to planar cisternography while the benefit of possibly localizing a spontaneous CSF leak is limited. In the relatively few cases in which SPECT or SPECT/CT possibly localizes a CSF leak, the results are frequently discordant with myelography results. In the rare occasion that SPECT or SPECT/CT results are concordant with myelography, myelography is still required to provide more precise localization for intervention.
Efficient transient electrothermal simulation of CMOS VLSI circuits under electrical overstress

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Accurate simulation of transient device thermal behavior is essential to predict CMOS VLSI circuit failures under electrical overstress (EOS). In this paper, we present an efficient transient electrothermal simulator that is built upon a SPICE-like engine. The transient device temperature is estimated by the convolution of the device power dissipation and its thermal impulse response which can be derived an analytical solution of the heat diffusion equation. New fast thermal simulation techniques are proposed including a regionwise-exponential (RWE) approximation of thermal impulse response and recursive convolution scheme. The recursive convolution provides a significant performance improvement over the numerical convolution by orders of magnitude, making it computationally feasible to simulate CMOS circuits with many devices.
Aspirin Use and Colorectal Cancer Survival According to Tumor CD274 (Programmed Cell Death 1 Ligand 1) Expression Status

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Purpose Blockade of the programmed cell death 1 (PDCD1, PD-1) immune checkpoint pathway can improve clinical outcomes in various malignancies. Evidence suggests that aspirin (a widely used nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug) not only prolongs colorectal cancer survival, but can also activate T cell–mediated antitumor immunity and synergize with immunotherapy through inhibition of prostaglandin E2 production. We hypothesized that the survival benefit associated with aspirin might be stronger in colorectal carcinoma with a lower CD274 (PDCD1 ligand 1, PD-L1) expression level that resulted in lower signaling of the immune checkpoint pathway. Patients and Methods Using data from 617 patients with rectal and colon cancer in the Nurses’ Health Study and the Health Professionals Follow-Up Study, we examined the association of postdiagnosis aspirin use with patient survival in strata of tumor CD274 expression status measured by immunohistochemistry. We used multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression models to control for potential confounders, including disease stage, microsatellite instability status, CpG island methylator phenotype, long interspersed nucleotide element-1 methylation, cyclooxygenase-2 (PTGS2), and CDX2 expression, and KRAS, BRAF, and PIK3CA mutations. Results The association of postdiagnosis aspirin use with colorectal cancer–specific survival differed by CD274 expression status ( P interaction < .001); compared with aspirin nonusers; multivariable-adjusted hazard ratios for regular aspirin users were 0.16 (95% CI, 0.06 to 0.41) in patients with low CD274 and 1.01 (95% CI, 0.61 to 1.67) in patients with high CD274. This differential association seemed consistent in patients with microsatellite-stable or PIK3CA wild-type disease and in strata of PTGS2 expression, CDX2 expression, tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, or prediagnosis aspirin use status. Conclusion The association of aspirin use with colorectal cancer survival is stronger in patients with CD274-low tumors than CD274-high tumors. Our findings suggest a differential antitumor effect of aspirin according to immune checkpoint status.
Do We Practice What We Preach?

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Using Pfeffer's typology of high-performance human resource management practices, this study examined faculty perceptions of how U.S. schools of business utilize such practices. Results show that faculty believe that most high-performance human resource management practices are used by their schools, particularly employment security, empowerment/self-management, and information sharing. Faculty perceive less attention being devoted to the use of training and development practices, competitive pay, and reward systems. Implications for business school management are presented, which include ensuring that deans and department chairs are trained in effectively managing faculty for achievement of business school missions and goals.
Quantized Response and Topology of Insulators with Inversion Symmetry

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

We study three dimensional insulators with inversion symmetry, in which other point group symmetries, such as time reversal, are generically absent. Their band topology is found to be classified by the parities of occupied states at time reversal invariant momenta (TRIM parities), and by three Chern numbers. The TRIM parities of any insulator must satisfy a constraint: their product must be +1. The TRIM parities also constrain the Chern numbers modulo two. When the Chern numbers vanish, a magneto-electric response parameterized by "theta" is defined and is quantized to theta= 0, 2pi. Its value is entirely determined by the TRIM parities. These results may be useful in the search for magnetic topological insulators with large theta. A classification of inversion symmetric insulators is also given for general dimensions. An alternate geometrical derivation of our results is obtained by using the entanglement spectrum of the ground state wave-function.
Comparison Of The Brachial And Popliteal Artery Vascular Responses To The Consumption Of A High Fat Meal

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Results from earlier studies indicate that the consumption of a high fat meal (HFM) significantly reduces the vascular reactivity (i.e. decreased vasodilatory response) in the brachial artery. Given the prevalence of vascular disease in the lower extremities, it is interesting that there is little data to date comparing the effect of consuming a HFM on the vascular responses of the upper and lower limbs. PURPOSE: To compare the vascular response of the brachial (BA) and popliteal (PA) arteries following the consumption of a HFM. It is hypothesized that endothelial dysfunction induced by the consumption of a HFM will be greater in the PA than in the BA, consistent with the findings that the lower extremities are more susceptible to endothelial dysfunction and vascular disease compared to the upper extremities. METHODS: Eight healthy (23.8 ± 1.8 yrs (±SD)) men (n=3) and women (n=5) reported to the facility following a 12 h fast. Each subject rested in either the supine (BA) or prone position (PA) to obtain baseline measurements of the artery of interest. Endothelial-dependent vascular function was assesses using the flow-mediated vasodilation (FMD) technique. Each subject consumed a high fat meal consisting of 90g total fat (63 g saturated fat), 364 mg cholesterol, 17 g carbohydrate and 139 mg sodium. BA and PA FMD responses were obtained 60 min following ingestion of the HFM. Longitudinal images of the BA and PA were obtained in B-mode using a linear array probe with an operating frequency of 7.0 MHz. Images were captured (10 fps) and analyzed using a commercially available system that incorporates an automated wall detection program. FMD (%) was calculated as the difference between baseline diameter and the maximal diameter measured following release of the occlusion cuff (250 mmHg) placed around the forearm for 5 min. RESULTS: Compared to baseline, consumption of a HFM resulted in a decrease (p<0.05) in vascular reactivity for both the BA (pre, 10.6 ± 3.7 vs. post, 6.2 ± 2.2 %FMD) and the PA (pre, 4.8 ± 2.1 vs. post, 2.1 ± 1.2 %FMD). When expressed as relative to the change in FMD within a limb, the decrease in the PA (55.3%) was greater (p<0.05) than for the BA (42.4%). CONCLUSIONS: While the differences in the FMD response to a HFM between the BA and PA artery are apparent, the mechanism behind this difference warrants further investigation
Non-regularised Inverse Finite Element Analysis for 3D Traction Force Microscopy

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

The tractions that cells exert on a gel substrate from the observed displacements is an increasingly attractive and valuable information in biomedical experiments. The computation of these tractions requires in general the solution of an inverse problem. Here, we resort to the discretisation with finite elements of the associated direct variational formulation, and solve the inverse analysis using a least square approach. This strategy requires the minimisation of an error functional, which is usually regularised in order to obtain a stable system of equations with a unique solution. In this paper we show that for many common three-dimensional geometries, meshes and loading conditions, this regularisation is unnecessary. In these cases, the computational cost of the inverse problem becomes equivalent to a direct finite element problem. For the non-regularised functional, we deduce the necessary and sufficient conditions that the dimensions of the interpolated displacement and traction fields must preserve in order to exactly satisfy or yield a unique solution of the discrete equilibrium equations. We apply the theoretical results to some illustrative examples and to real experimental data. Due to the relevance of the results for biologists and modellers, the article concludes with some practical rules that the finite element discretisation must satisfy.
Evaluation of Deep-Water Floating Wind Turbine to Power an Isolated Water Injection System

Field: Energy (Physical Sciences)

Abstract The main objective of this paper is to evaluate the use of floating wind turbines for isolated offshore systems. The energy analysis is a vital step at the initial phase of the project to define topologies that will be able to feed subsea systems, a water injection system is considered as a example. The first location that we decided to look in detail is one of the largest oil regions discovered in the last hundred years and it is located on the Brazilian coast. It is important to highlight that the development is on the technological frontier of a new type of floating wind turbine application for deep waters. The focus of the study is to validate the perks of this application, such as, the production of clean and green energy capable enough to satisfy the load requirements of a Water Injection Systems (WIS) for Oil and Gas (O&G) production, chosen among other possibilities of subsea systems as an example. Water injection is effective to improve the oil recovery in reservoirs, but conventionally involves high energy consumption, significant emissions and expensive infrastructure. This work investigates different configurations combining a wind turbine, diesel generator and batteries to supply power to the off-grid load, with the basic premise that WIS can follow the generation available from the wind turbine, since it does not require a fixed injection rate. In the energetic point of view, the main result shows that the use of wind turbine and li-ion battery can cut emissions by half and increase the energy efficiency of the system.
