Background

Despite recommendations supporting optimal breastfeeding, the number of women practicing exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) remains low, and few interventions have demonstrated implementation and impact at scale. Alive & Thrive was implemented over a period of 6 y (2009–2014) and aimed to improve breastfeeding practices through intensified interpersonal counseling (IPC), mass media (MM), and community mobilization (CM) intervention components delivered at scale in the context of policy advocacy (PA) in Bangladesh and Viet Nam. In Bangladesh, IPC was delivered through a large non-governmental health program; in Viet Nam, it was integrated into government health facilities. This study evaluated the population-level impact …

Déterminants Cliniques Et Neuromécaniques Du Développement De L'Incapacité Lombaire Chez Les Travailleurs, Martin Descarreaux, Vincent Cantin, Mathieu Piché, Jean-Daniel Dubois, Arnaud Lardon, Isabelle Pagé

Rapports de recherche scientifique

Les blessures musculosquelettiques, et plus particulièrement les affections vertébrales, constituent le premier facteur responsable des incapacités fonctionnelles au Québec. Ce type de blessures ou de condition musculosquelettique réduit de façon importante l’espérance de vie en bonne santé des travailleurs, dont ceux qui sont plus âgés. Avec le vieillissement attendu de la main-d’œuvre québécoise, il est primordial d’améliorer les interventions cliniques dans ce secteur de la santé et de s’attarder aux travailleurs qui seront éventuellement appelés à prolonger la durée de leur participation active sur le marché du travail dans les prochaines décennies.

Au-delà de la simple lésion, …

Développement Et Application D’Une Approche Pour L’Évaluation De L’Exposition Des Travailleurs Agricoles Aux Pyréthrinoïdes, Michèle Bouchard, Mylène Ratelle, Jonathan Côté

Rapports de recherche scientifique

L’exposition aux pyréthrinoïdes est une préoccupation croissante en milieu de travail. Cette classe de pesticides est maintenant abondamment utilisée en agriculture dans toute une variété de cultures et tend à remplacer les insecticides organophosphorés. Bien qu’utilisés comme insecticides en raison de leur action neurotoxique, ils peuvent causer ces mêmes effets chez les humains. L’exposition à ces insecticides a aussi été reliée à des changements immunitaires et endocriniens. Les travailleurs peuvent être largement exposés aux pyréthrinoïdes lors d’épandage ou de travaux dans des zones traitées. Par contre, il n’est pas toujours évident de déterminer les …

Méthode D'Analyse Des Protéases De Type Subtilisine Et Évaluation Des Concentrations De L'Air Ambiant De Cinq Centres Hospitaliers, Geneviève Marchand, Yves Cloutier, Annie Castonguay, Carole Pépin, Rym Barafane, Jacques Lavoie, Nicolas Doucet, François Lépine

Rapports de recherche scientifique

La subtilisine est une enzyme protéolytique présente dans une multitude d’utilisations industrielles; elle agit notamment comme dégraisseur dans les biofontaines et comme agent de préstérilisation en centres hospitaliers. Des réactions allergiques pulmonaires reliées à l’exposition aux enzymes protéolytiques que l’on retrouve dans les produits nettoyants ont été rapportées. Il est reconnu que l’exposition aux enzymes en milieu de travail cause des sensibilisations chez les travailleurs et peut induire de l’asthme. Le potentiel allergique de la subtilisine serait identique à celui des autres enzymes telles les amylases, les cellulases et les lipases. Sa valeur d’exposition …

Realigning The Governmental/Proprietary Distinction In Municipal Law, Hugh D. Spitzer

Seattle University Law Review

Lawyers and judges who deal with municipal law are perpetually puzzled by the distinction between “governmental” and “proprietary” powers of local governments. The distinction is murky, inconsistent between jurisdictions, inconsistent within jurisdictions, and of limited use in predicting how courts will rule. Critics have launched convincing attacks on the division of municipal powers into these two categories. Most articles have focused on problems with the distinction in specific areas of municipal law. In contrast, this article provides a comprehensive analysis of the governmental/proprietary distinction in seven specific doctrinal areas: legislative grants of municipal authority, government contracts, torts, eminent domain, adverse …

Gynecomastia: Psychological Correlates And A Test Of The Tripartite Influence Model Of Body Image, Daniel Luis Ordaz

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Gynecomastia is the proliferation of breast tissue in men. The purpose of this study was to compare psychological functioning across three groups of participants: treatment seeking men with gynecomastia, non treatment seeking men with gynecomastia, and men without gynecomastia. Though very little research has been done with this population, some research suggests poor psychological outcomes of gynecomastia. MANCOVA was used to test differences in psychological functioning across the three groups, and multiple regression was used to predict quality of life from psychological variables. Significant differences emerged between groups, with men with gynecomastia reporting worse psychological functioning. Additionally, no theoretical model …

Progressive Alternatives To Imprisonment In An Increasingly Punitive (And Self-Defeating) Society, Sandeep Gopalan, Mirko Bagaric

Seattle University Law Review

Criminal sanctions are a necessary and appropriate response to crime. But extremism, especially when coupled with a slavish and unthinking adherence to traditional practices, nearly always produces unfortunate consequences. Such is the case with the rapid growth in prison numbers in the United States over the past two decades. The prime purpose of imprisonment is to punish serious offenders and to prevent them from reoffending during the period of detention. The overuse of imprisonment has resulted in the violation of the most cardinal moral prohibition associated with imprisonment: punishing the innocent. The runaway cost of the prison budget has resulted …

Chromatin Proteins And Rna Are Associated With Dna During All Phases Of Mitosis., Kathryn L Black, Svetlana Petruk, Tyler K Fenstermaker, Jacob W Hodgson, Jeffrey L Caplan, Hugh W Brock, Alexander Mazo

Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Faculty Papers

Mitosis brings about major changes to chromosome and nuclear structure. We used recently developed proximity ligation assay-based techniques to investigate the association with DNA of chromatin-associated proteins and RNAs in Drosophila embryos during mitosis. All groups of tested proteins, histone-modifying and chromatin-remodeling proteins and methylated histones remained in close proximity to DNA during all phases of mitosis. We also found that RNA transcripts are associated with DNA during all stages of mitosis. Reduction of H3K27me3 levels or elimination of RNAs had no effect on the association of the components of PcG and TrxG complexes to DNA. Using a combination of …

P70s6k1 (S6k1)-Mediated Phosphorylation Regulates Phosphatidylinositol 4-Phosphate 5-Kinase Type I Γ Degradation And Cell Invasion, Naser Jafari, Qiaodan Zheng, Liqing Li, Wei Li, Lei Qi, Jianyong Xiao, Tianyan Gao, Cai Huang

Markey Cancer Center Faculty Publications

Phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate 5-kinase type I γ (PIPKIγ90) ubiquitination and subsequent degradation regulate focal adhesion assembly, cell migration, and invasion. However, it is unknown how upstream signals control PIPKIγ90 ubiquitination or degradation. Here we show that p70S6K1 (S6K1), a downstream target of mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR), phosphorylates PIPKIγ90 at Thr-553 and Ser-555 and that S6K1-mediated PIPKIγ90 phosphorylation is essential for cell migration and invasion. Moreover, PIPKIγ90 phosphorylation is required for the development of focal adhesions and invadopodia, key machineries for cell migration and invasion. Surprisingly, substitution of Thr-553 and Ser-555 …

Four Empirical Essays In Development Economics, Haftom Bayray Kahsay

Lingnan Theses

This dissertation contains four empirical studies on related topics in development economics. The four studies are all randomized field experiments and all of them use original data obtained from rural households in Northern Ethiopia for empirical analysis. The first study examines the medium term effects of commercial weather index insurance. I examine a randomized controlled trial in which commercial weather index insurance was offered to rural households who are highly vulnerable to drought. The results show that weather index insurance can significantly improve agricultural investments, agricultural yield and also household finance.

The second study evaluates the effects of weather index …

Prevalence Of Nasal Colonization By Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus In Persons Using A Homeless Shelter In Kansas City, Megan Ottomeyer, Charles D. Graham, Avery D. Legg, Elizabeth S. Cooper, Chad D. Law, Mariam Molani, Karine Matevossian, Jerry Marlin, Charlott Williams, Ramon E. Newman, Jason A. Wasserman, Larry Segars, Tracey A.H. Taylor

Student Publications

Nasal colonization of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) plays an important role in the epidemiology and pathogenesis of disease. Situations of close-quarter contact in groups are generally regarded as a risk factor for community-acquired MRSA strains due to transmission via fomites and person-to-person contact. With these criteria for risk, homeless individuals using shelter facilities, including showers and toilets, should be considered high risk for colonization and infection. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of nasal colonization of MRSA in a homeless population compared to established rates of colonization within the public and a control group of subjects …

Women On The Board Of Directors And Their Impact On The Financial Performance Of A Firm: An Empirical Investigation Of Female Directors In The United States Technology Sector, Obinna Mogbogu

Theses and Dissertations

This study uses a sample of S&P 500 firms in the United States technology sector to investigate the likely relationship between female directors and financial performance of firms measured by return on average assets and return on average equity as the two accounting based measures of performance. Reasonable theoretical arguments drawn from resource dependency, human capital, agency, and social psychology theory, suggests that the gender diversity of the board of directors may have either a positive, negative, or neutral effect on the financial performance of the firm. Using nonparametric statistics approach, we find a small negative relationship between female directors …
