Introduction

• People living with spinal cord injury (SCI) in North America are involved in the following as stake holders in research: identifying priorities for research; planning interventions; and implementing rehabilitation or peer-support interventions.
• The best practice is for partnerships to span the continuum of research.
• Project purpose: to collaborate with an advisory board of individuals living with SCI, to make recommendations for the methods of a large-scale calibration study of the Spinal Cord Injury Movement Index )SCI-MI).
• The SCI-MI is being developed as a SCI clinical trial outcome assessment to evaluate the construct of movement in the context of function …

1890, Cecil John Rhodes, then Prime Minister of Cape Colonies, advanced the Union Jack past the Limpopo River, making way for further industrial development and encouraging colonialism and immigration. Three years later, these encounters resulted in conflicts with the Ndebele people residing in modern-day Zimbabwe. Again in 1896, led by the Shona, Africans took up arms against these European invaders. It took 94 years to finally overthrow the British; however, the work that began in 1896 continues today.

Protocol For Engineering And Validating A Synthetic Mitochondrial Intermembrane Bridge In Mammalian Cells, Gunjan Purohit, Martonio Ponte Viana, Oleh Khalimonchuk

Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering: Faculty Publications

Membrane contact sites are recognized as critical means of intercompartmental communication. Here, we describe a protocol for engineering and validating a synthetic bridge between the inner and outer mitochondrial membranes to support functioning of the endogenous mitochondrial contact site and cristae organizing system (MICOS). A chimeric protein,MitoT, is stably expressed in cultured mammalian cells to bridge themitochondrial membranes. This approach can be a valuable tool to study the function of the MICOS complex and associated proteins.

An Integrative Review Of Clinical Outcome Assessments Used To Measure Carryover Effects Of Exoskeletons And Functional Electrical Stimulation In Spinal Cord Injury, Martha K. Childress, Olivia M.

Introduction

• Functional electrical stimulation (FES) and exoskeletons are rehabilitation technologies that provide direct functional ability and potential carryover effects
• Carryover effects may be due to neuromuscular recovery, behavioral compensation, or a combination of both (Figure 1)
• Clinical outcome assessments (COAs) are used to measure recovery of function with and without the device on

Dirac Dark Matter, Neutrino Masses, And Dark Baryogenesis, Diego Restrepo, Andrès Rivera, Walter Tangarife

Physics: Faculty Publications and Other Works

We present a gauged baryon number model as an example of models where all new fermions required to cancel out the anomalies help to solve phenomenological problems of the standard model (SM). Dark fermion doublets, along with the isosinglet charged fermions, in conjunction with a set of SM-singlet fermions, participate in the generation of small neutrino masses through the Dirac-dark Zee mechanism. The other SM-singlets explain the dark matter in the Universe, while their coupling to an inert singlet scalar is the source of the CP violation. In the presence of a strong first-order electroweak phase transition, this “dark” CP …

The Institute for Academic Librarians is designed to help participants “gain a deeper understanding of the leadership skills and strategies needed to lead and manage the contemporary academic library through challenging contexts.” Its curriculum included small group work, reflection, writing …

Erratum To Leblanc (2022): The Dacine Fruit Flies (Diptera: Tephritidae: Dacini) Of Oceania, Luc Leblanc

Insecta Mundi

After publication of Leblanc (2022), it was noticed that the wrong graph was used for the mean (±SE) daily captures of Dacus perpusillus (Drew) in cue-lure traps (Fig. 135). The author and the Insecta Mundi editorial staff apologize for this error. The intended version of Figure 135 is reproduced here. Insecta Mundi has also released a revised version of the Leblanc (2022) manuscript, with this error corrected. However, the revised version is not an official peer-reviewed article, and anyone wishing to reference the findings of Leblanc (2022) should cite the original manuscript or this erratum.

Irminger Sea Is The Center Of Action For Subpolar Amoc Variability, L. Chafik, N. P. Holliday, S. Bacon, T. Rossby

Graduate School of Oceanography Faculty Publications

Significant societally important climate impacts can be caused by changes in the strength of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) at higher latitudes. Focusing on variability and long-term change of the subpolar North Atlantic (SPNA)—a key AMOC action center—and using eastern OSNAP array observations, we identify a distinct density and sea-surface height signature of the AMOC strength in the Irminger Sea (2014–2018), reinforced and extended with an ocean reanalysis (1993–2018). Reconstruction of AMOC variability using Irminger Sea density shows strong control by the North Atlantic Oscillation on subpolar overturning on multiple timescales, achieved via the gyre circulation and waters from …

Breakdown Of The Central Synapses In C9orf72-Linked Als/Ftd, Layla T. Ghaffari, Davide Trotti, Aaron R. Haeusler, Brigid K Jensen

Department of Neuroscience Faculty Papers

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive, fatal neurodegenerative disease that leads to the death of motor and cortical neurons. The clinical manifestations of ALS are heterogenous, and efficacious treatments to significantly slow the progression of the disease are lacking. Cortical hyper-excitability is observed pre-symptomatically across disease-causative genetic variants, as well as in the early stages of sporadic ALS, and typically precedes motor neuron involvement and overt neurodegeneration. The causes of cortical hyper-excitability are not yet fully understood but is mainly agreed to be an early event. The identification of the nucleotide repeat expansion (GGGGCC)n in the C9ORF72 gene has …

Effects Of The Ratio Of Refined White Rice And Brown Rice On The Quality Of Compounded Rice Flour, Liu Ying, Xu Chen-Ran, Zhang Chu-Jia, Zhang Na, Dou Bo-Xin

Food and Machinery

Objective:This study aimed to optimize the compounding ratio of compounded brown rice flour. Methods:The effects of different ratios on the quality of compounded brown rice flour were analyzed by mixing refined white rice and brown rice (10∶0, 8∶2, 6∶4, 4∶6, 2∶8, 0∶10), and the optimal ratios were obtained by using the flushing properties, gelatinization characteristics, rheological properties, thermal properties, and in vitro digestibility as indicators. Results:With the increase of brown rice content, the peak viscosity, valley viscosity and final viscosity of compounded brown rice flour gradually decreased, and the initial gelatinization temperature, peak temperature and end gelatinization …

Association Between Exposure To Family Planning Messages On Different Mass Media Channels And The Utilization Of Modern Contraceptives Among Young Women In Sierra Leone: Insights From The 2019 Sierra Leone Demographic Health Survey, Quraish Sserwanja, Patricia Turimumahoro, Lilian Nuwabaine, Kassim Kamara, Milton W. Musaba

School of Nursing & Midwifery, East Africa

Background

Access to sexual and reproductive health information enables young women to make appropriate decisions. We examined the association between exposure to family planning messages on different mass media and the use of modern contraceptives among young women in Sierra Leone.

Methods

This was a secondary analysis of the 2019 Sierra Leone Demographic and Health Survey data of young women aged 15–24 years. Multistage stratified sampling was used to select study participants in the survey. We used multivariable logistic regression to determine the association between exposure to family panning messages on different types mass media channels and utilization of modern …

Japanese Buddhist Women In Hawai‘I: Waves Of Change, Karma Lekshe Tsomo

Theology and Religious Studies: Faculty Scholarship

Beginning in the latter half of the nineteenth century, successive waves of Japanese Buddhist immigrants settled in the Kingdom of Hawai‘i, bringing with them a variety of Japanese Buddhist schools and traditions. Overcoming many hardships, Japanese immigrant women worked with great devotion to help establish numerous temples in the Hawai‘i through Buddhist women’s associations known as Fujinkai. These dedicated women not only maintained ancestral Buddhist practices but also integrated Japanese Buddhist, native Hawaiian, and other cultural elements in ways that were entirely new. Persevering through the war years and through successive waves of cultural adaptation, they transmitted and protected Buddhist …
