Does Workplace Social Capital Associate With Hazardous Drinking Among Chinese Rural-Urban Migrant Workers?, Junling Gao, Scott R. Weaver, Hua Fua, Zhigang Pan

Public Health Faculty Publications

Background: The present study sought to investigate the associations between workplace social capital and hazardous drinking (HD) among Chinese rural-urban migrant workers (RUMW). Methods: A cross sectional study with a multi-stage stratified sampling procedure was conducted in Shanghai during July 2012 to January 2013. In total, 5,318 RUMWs from 77 workplaces were involved. Work-place social capital was assessed using a validated and psychometrically tested eight-item measure. The Chinese version of Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) was used to assess hazardous drinking. Control variables included gender, age, marital status, education level, salary, and current smoking. Multilevel logistic regression analysis was …

Network optimality has been described in genes, proteins and human communicative networks. In the latter, optimality leads to the efficient transmission of information with a minimum number of connections. Whilst studies show that differences in centrality exist in animal networks with central individuals having higher fitness, network efficiency has never been studied in animal groups. Here we studied 78 groups of primates (24 species).We found that group size and neocortex ratio were correlated with network efficiency. Centralisation (whether several individuals are central in the group) and modularity (how a group is clustered) had opposing effects on network efficiency, showing that …

Biology Faculty Publications

Acidocalcisomes are acidic organelles present in a diverse range of organisms from bacteria to human cells. In this study acidocalcisomes were purified from the model organism Trypanosoma brucei, and their protein composition was determined by mass spectrometry. The results, along with those that we previously reported, show that acidocalcisomes are rich in pumps and transporters, involved in phosphate and cation homeostasis, and calcium signaling. We validated the acidocalcisome localization of seven new, putative, acidocalcisome proteins (phosphate transporter, vacuolar H+-ATPase subunits a and d, vacuolar iron transporter, zinc transporter, polyamine transporter, and acid phosphatase), confirmed the presence of six previously characterized …

Plemper, Sang-Moo Kang

Biology Faculty Publications

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is one of the most important causes for viral lower respiratory tract disease in humans. There is no licensed RSV vaccine. Here, we generated recombinant influenza viruses (PR8/RSV. HA-G) carrying the chimeric constructs of hemagglutinin (HA) and central conserved-domains of the RSV G protein. PR8/RSV.HA-G virus showed lower pathogenicity without compromising immunogenicity in mice. Single intranasal inoculation of mice with PR8/RSV.HA-G induced IgG2a isotype dominant antibodies and RSV neutralizing activity. Mice with single intranasal inoculation of PR8/RSV.HA-G were protected against RSV infection as evidenced by significant reduction of lung viral loads to a detection limit upon …


The Effect Of Georgia’S Hope Scholarship On College Major: A Focus On Stem*, David Sjoquist, John Winters Nov 2014

The Effect Of Georgia’S Hope Scholarship On College Major: A Focus On Stem*, David Sjoquist, John Winters

CSLF Presentations

There is growing concern in the U.S. that the nation is producing too few college graduates in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields and there is a desire to understand how various policies affect college major decisions. This paper uses student administrative records from the University System of Georgia to examine whether Georgia’s HOPE Scholarship has affected students’ college major decisions, with a focus on STEM majors. We find consistent evidence that HOPE reduced the likelihood that a USG student earned a degree with a major in a STEM field. We discuss and test a number of explanations for …

The Relationship Between Event-Based Prospective Memory And Ongoing Task Performance In Chimpanzees (Pan Troglodytes), Theodore A. Evans, Bonnie Perdue, Michael J. Beran Nov 2014

The Relationship Between Event-Based Prospective Memory And Ongoing Task Performance In Chimpanzees (Pan Troglodytes), Theodore A. Evans, Bonnie Perdue, Michael J. Beran

Language Research Center

Prospective memory is remembering to do something at a future time. A growing body of research supports that prospective memory may exist in nonhuman animals, but the methods used to test nonhuman prospective memory differ from those used with humans. The current work tests prospective memory in chimpanzees using a method that closely approximates a typical human paradigm. In these experiments, the prospective memory cue was embedded within an ongoing task. Tokens representing food items could be used in one of two ways: in a matching task with pictures of items (the ongoing task) or to request a food item …

Public Health Faculty Publications

Extracellular matrix (ECM) strongly influences cellular behaviors, including cell proliferation, adhesion, and particularly migration. In cancer, the rigidity of the stromal collagen environment is thought to control tumor aggressiveness, and collagen alignment has been linked to tumor cell invasion. While the mechanical properties of collagen at both the single fiber scale and the bulk gel scale are quite well studied, how the fiber network responds to local stress or deformation, both structurally and mechanically, is poorly understood. This intermediate scale knowledge is important to understanding cell- ECM interactions and is the focus of this study. We have developed a three-dimensional …


Empathy As A “Risky Strength”: A Multilevel Examination Of Empathy And Risk For Internalizing Disorders, Erin Tone, Erin Tully Nov 2014

Empathy As A “Risky Strength”: A Multilevel Examination Of Empathy And Risk For Internalizing Disorders, Erin Tone, Erin Tully

Psychology Faculty Publications

Learning to respond to others' distress with well-regulated empathy is an important developmental task linked to positive health outcomes and moral achievements. However, this important interpersonal skill set may also confer risk for depression and anxiety when present at extreme levels and in combination with certain individual characteristics or within particular contexts. The purpose of this review is to describe an empirically grounded theoretical rationale for the hypothesis that empathic tendencies can be “risky strengths.” We propose a model in which typical development of affective and cognitive empathy can be influenced by complex interplay among intraindividual and interindividual moderators that …


Latent Factor Modeling Of Four Schizotypy Dimensions With Theory Of Mind And Empathy, Jeffrey S. Bedwell, Michael T. Compton, Florian G. Jentsch, Andrew E. Deptula, Sandra M. Goulding, Erin Tone Nov 2014

Latent Factor Modeling Of Four Schizotypy Dimensions With Theory Of Mind And Empathy, Jeffrey S. Bedwell, Michael T. Compton, Florian G. Jentsch, Andrew E. Deptula, Sandra M. Goulding, Erin Tone

Psychology Faculty Publications

Preliminary evidence suggests that theory of mind and empathy relate differentially to factors of schizotypy. The current study assessed 686 undergraduate students and used structural equation modeling to examine links between a four-factor model of schizotypy with performance on measures of theory of mind (Reading the Mind in the Eyes Test [MIE]) and empathy (Interpersonal Reactivity Index [IRI]). Schizotypy was assessed using three self-report measures which were simultaneously entered into the model. Results revealed that the Negative factor of schizotypy showed a negative relationship with the Empathy factor, which was primarily driven by the Empathic Concern subscale of the IRI …

Role Of Ca2+ And L-Phe In Regulating Functional Cooperativity Of Disease- Associated ‘‘Toggle’’ Calcium-Sensing Receptor Mutations, Chen Zhang, Nagaraju Mulpuri, Fadil M. Hannan, M. Andrew Nesbit, Rajesh V. Thakker, Donald Hamelberg, Edward M. Brown, Jenny J. Yang Nov 2014

Role Of Ca2+ And L-Phe In Regulating Functional Cooperativity Of Disease- Associated ‘‘Toggle’’ Calcium-Sensing Receptor Mutations, Chen Zhang, Nagaraju Mulpuri, Fadil M. Hannan, M. Andrew Nesbit, Rajesh V. Thakker, Donald Hamelberg, Edward M. Brown, Jenny J. Yang

Chemistry Faculty Publications

The Ca2+-sensing receptor (CaSR) regulates Ca2+ homeostasis in the body by monitoring extracellular levels of Ca2+ ([Ca2+]o) and amino acids. Mutations at the hinge region of the N-terminal Venus flytrap domain (VFTD) produce either receptor inactivation (L173P, P221Q) or activation (L173F, P221L) related to hypercalcemic or hypocalcemic disorders. In this paper, we report that both L173P and P221Q markedly impair the functional positive cooperativity of the CaSR as reflected by [Ca2+]o–induced [Ca2+]i oscillations, inositol-1-phosphate (IP1) accumulation and extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERK1/2) activity. In contrast, L173F and P221L show enhanced responsiveness of these three functional readouts to [Ca2+]o. Further analysis of …

Fiscal Competition Versus Fiscal Harmonization: A Review Of The Arguments, Krishanu Karmakar, Jorge Martinez-Vazquez Nov 2014

Fiscal Competition Versus Fiscal Harmonization: A Review Of The Arguments, Krishanu Karmakar, Jorge Martinez-Vazquez

ICEPP Working Papers

A substantial theoretical and empirical literature has developed to addresses the advantages and perils of tax competition and how far it may be desirable to advance tax harmonization. The basic idea of the early literature was that internationally mobile capital moves from countries with higher rates of corporate taxation to lower rate countries. This limits the ability of the governments to tax capital and tend to reduce tax revenue of the government. Subsequent research has extended the basic model of tax competition by incorporating several important facets and qualifications to better reflect the real world. These studies have reached conclusions …
