Even As Covid-19 Rages, Some States Refuse To Extend Health Insurance To Their Poorest Residents, Trudy Lieberman

CREW News Archive

According to new data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, analyzed by The New York Times, African Americans and Latinos are three times more likely to become infected with the [COVID-19] virus than white people. They are nearly twice as likely to die. Those statistics are grim markers of a disease that has hit America’s populations of color particularly hard.

What do those dismal numbers and the gaping health disparities they lay bare say about the refusal to expand Medicaid in some states, and the imposition of barriers that make expansion almost meaningless in others? Why are states …

Explaining Popular Support For Wind Energy In The United States, Jessica Crowe

Journal of Rural Social Sciences

In the last 35 years, wind energy in the United States has transformed from being fringe and experimental to becoming a mainstream, viable, and efficient source of electricity. In this article, we compare wind energy acceptance to acceptance of other energy sources, in particular solar, coal, natural gas, and oil. Through an online survey of 1317 adults throughout the United States, we also examine the impact of individual- level characteristics such as gender, race, age, socio-political factors, and value orientation on a person’s support for renewable energy policy. We find that support for wind energy is higher than for fossil …

Examining Empathy And Advocacy Competencies In Professional School Counselors, Amanda Winburn, Alex Kerwin, Amy King, Maegan Johnson Tatum

Journal of Counseling Research and Practice

In this quantitative study, the relationship between levels of empathy and perceptions of advocacy competencies among a national sample of professional school counselors are examined.

Professional implications as well as implications for training future school counselors are explored.

Cross-Cultural Supervision: Racial/Ethnic Minority Supervisees' Perspectives, Hansori Jang, Na Mi Bang, Janice A. Byrd, Carol K. Smith

Journal of Counseling Research and Practice

Examining the clinical supervision experiences of minority supervisees with different backgrounds than their White supervisors is essential. Weak supervisory relationships can adversely affect a supervisee’s professional competency, which in turn can negatively influence the client. This study explored the experiences of ten Racial/ethnic minority supervisees in a cross-cultural supervision setting. Using consensual qualitative research (CQR), three domains emerged: (a) cultural sensitivity, (b) cultural competency, and (c) relationship building. The outcome of this study highlights the types of training in counselor education that supervisors should consider when working with supervisees from different cultural backgrounds.

Comprehensive Network Analysis Reveals Alternative Splicing-Related Lncrnas In Hepatocellular Carcinoma, Junqing Wang, Xiuquan Wang, Akshay Bhat, Yixin Chen, Keli Xu, Yin Yuan Mo, Song Stephen Yi, Yunyun Zhou

Faculty and Student Publications

© Copyright © 2020 Wang, Wang, Bhat, Chen, Xu, Mo, Yi and Zhou. It is increasingly appreciated that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) associated with alternative splicing (AS) could be involved in aggressive hepatocellular carcinoma. Although many recent studies show the alteration of RNA alternative splicing by deregulated lncRNAs in cancer, the extent to which and how lncRNAs impact alternative splicing at the genome scale remains largely elusive. We analyzed RNA-seq data obtained from 369 hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs) and 160 normal liver tissues, quantified 198,619 isoform transcripts, and identified a total of 1,375 significant AS events in liver cancer. In order …
