Berlin Walls In Our Neighborhood: A Social Justice Excursion For Community College Students In Chemistry, Vuk Uskoković

Administration and Staff Articles and Research

Social inequalities, pervasive in the modern world, silently shape access to education and educational outcomes, especially in the sciences. Yet, natural science curricula rarely acknowledge these influences, often under the assumption that their commitment to objectivity must imply political and socioeconomic neutrality. This paper presents an educational initiative that addresses this disconnect by integrating elemental analytical chemistry with social justice themes. A field trip was designed for chemistry students at Fullerton College, pairing hands-on exposure to optical emission spectroscopic techniques with a socio-environmental investigation of heavy metal contamination across different neighborhoods in Orange County, California. This design deliberately tackled two …

Height From The Ground And Phytotelm Ph Affect Prokaryotic Diversity In Epiphytic Bromeliads, X O’Reilly-Berkeley, Thomas Hughes, H Mossman, Jennifer Rowntree, Richard Preziosi

School of Biological and Marine Sciences

Tank bromeliads in the neotropics harbour complex communities of invertebrates and even provide food, water and shelter to various vertebrate species. However, few studies have sequenced the microbial communities within epiphytic bromeliad phytotelmata. We sequenced the 16S rRNA subunit extracted from swabs rubbed at the base within the central phytotelm of the epiphytic bromeliads Aechmea hoppii and A. nidularioides. We tested factors that we suspected could influence the alpha diversity and beta-diversity of prokaryotic communities in bromeliads. Height on the tree and size of the bromeliad influenced the alpha-diversity within plants. Height from the ground and pH of the phytotelm …

Stratum-Structured Framework For Reporting, Assessment, And Translational Utility Of Metagenomics, Joseph A. Russell, Ishi Keenum, Karen Jarvis, Haley Sanderson, Michael D. Sussman, Kamil Khanipov, Joe Lacirignola, Amy Xiao, Jonathan M. Phillips, Malcolm Johns, Bala Ganesan, Cameron Parsons, Benjamin Davis, Shanmuga Sozhamannan

Michigan Tech Publications

BACKGROUND: Metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) enables broad, untargeted detection of pathogens and microbial signals across complex sample types. However, the diversity of operational contexts, from regulatory enforcement to exploratory discovery, challenges the defining of analytical or interpretive standards appropriate across all applications. Variability in laboratory practices, bioinformatic methods, and reporting conventions continues to limit consistency and decision-maker confidence in mNGS results. OBJECTIVES: We introduce STRATUM (Structured Framework for Reporting, Assessment, and Translational Utility of Metagenomics), a use-case-stratified framework that aligns quality assurance, metadata reporting, and interpretive standards with the consequence and intended use of metagenomic sequencing outputs. METHODS: STRATUM is …

This study examined individual, social, economic, and health system determinants of screening uptake among women aged 18 years and above in Rubanda District, Uganda, a district with critically low screening coverage.

Methods: A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 418 women aged 18 years and above across four sub-counties of Rubanda District, selected through multi-stage sampling. Individual, social, economic, and health system characteristics were collected via structured questionnaire. …

Development And Validation Of A Biochemical Correction Model For Accurate Hba1c Interpretation In Iron-Deficient Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, Ban Adnan Hatem Al-Abadi, Farah J. Hasan Alhnon, Zainab A. H. Alebady

Muthanna Medical Journal

Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) is the most important biomarker for measuring long-term glycemia. HbA1c has shown significant reliability, but it is not free of limitations. Conditions that interfere with red blood cells' life span, including iron deficiency anemia (IDA), may affect HbA1c reliability and interpretation. The study aimed at investigating the effect of iron deficiency on HbA1c reliability and developing a biochemical correction model that would help better interpret HbA1c levels in patients with T2DM.
The study employed a cross-sectional analytical approach on three study groups (healthy controls, patients with T2DM, and patients with T2DM with IDA). The study involved determining …
