Genomic Analysis Of Enterobacter Species Isolated From Patients In United States Hospitals, Fred C. Tenover, Isabella A. Tickler

Guidelines, Recommendations, and Other Resources on Antimicrobial Resistance

Abstract: We analyzed the whole genome sequences (WGS) and antibiograms of 35 Enterobacter isolates, including E. hormaechei and E. asburiae, and the recently described E. bugandensis, E. kobei, E. ludwigii, and E. roggenkampii species. Isolates were obtained from human blood and urinary tract infections in patients in the United States. Our goal was to understand the genetic diversity of antimicrobial resistance genes and virulence factors among the various species. Thirty-four of 35 isolates contained an AmpC class blaACT allele; however, the E. roggenkampii isolate contained blaMIR-5. Of the six Enterobacter isolates resistant to ertapenem, imipenem, and meropenem, …

Overcoming Imposter Syndrome In Doctoral Classrooms, Carol Rogers-Shaw, Corinne Brion, Colissa Jordan, Megan Burden-Cousins

Educational Leadership Faculty Publications

The intersectional identities of Black, Indigenous, and Women of Color (BIWOC) affect their sense of belonging in doctoral study as they face microaggressions and unwelcoming institutional structures. Imposter Syndrome (IS), resulting from situational, institutional, and dispositional factors, is often the result of exclusion and self-doubt. Program directors, peers, and faculty members all have a role in creating an inclusive community that mitigates IS.

Beyond Boundaries: Third Space Leadership In Schools, Corinne Brion

Educational Leadership Faculty Publications

This case study is relevant to practicing and prospective leaders because it raises issues related to third space leadership. I define third space leadership as the spaces/places between school and home, school and before or after school programs, school, and extra-curricular activities, such as the commute in a school bus. Third space leadership is grounded in adaptive leadership, cultural proficiency, equity, diversity, inclusion, and belonging. This teaching case study exposes educational administrators to a holistic approach to leadership that includes the in-between spaces that are integral parts and moments of students’ educational journeys. The Teaching Notes outline key concepts on …

An Introduction To Category Theory, Joseph Kopp

Electronic Proceedings of Undergraduate Mathematics Day

Category theory is a relatively new field of mathematics that has grown much in popularity in recent years. It is a general theory of mathematical structure that lends itself to making overarching, yet deep, connections between many branches of mathematics. This power to make such wide-reaching statements is what has drawn many to study it. However, category theory has also been criticized for being "abstract nonsense," in that some believe the theory to be too abstract to carry meaning, much less be applied to the real world. The goal of this paper is to introduce the main ideas of category …

Sex Work, Antitrafficking, And Mobility, Simanti Dasgupta

Sociology, Anthropology, and Social Work Faculty Publications

With the HIV/AIDS epidemic gripping the world in the 1990s and the resurgence of the antitrafficking discourse in the 2000s, the sex work/abolitionist debate took center stage. Proponents of sex work uphold the labor and livelihood paradigm based on consent; the abolitionists, on the other hand, dismiss sex work as work to posit prostitution as the paradigmatic example of patriarchal violence toward women. The latter routinely conflate sex work with trafficking, and the former sharply demarcates them. Above all, this debate poses a stubborn ideological divide among feminists with serious policy implications for both the worker and the victim, nationally …

Can Gpa And Degree Type Predict Success On The Entry-Level Registration Examination For Dietitians?, Sunitha Zechariah, Jennifer Doley, Nicole Moore, Raymond Chong

Journal of Dietetic Education

Purpose: Although program directors consider several measures when assessing dietetic program applicants, grade point average (GPA) is often the most highly weighted. However, its ability to predict success in the entry-level registration examination for dietitians (RD exam) is unknown. Our objective was to determine how well GPA predicted first-time success in the RD exam. Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of the associations among academic variables: pre-admission GPA (Overall- GPA), didactic program in dietetics GPA (DPD-GPA), and the type of degree (bachelor's versus master’s) with first-time RD exam scores across seven cohorts from three DI programs (N = 408). Results: …
