These include the role of the gut microbiome, the early identification and removal of environmental toxins, and finally age related sex hormones and supplement replacement which all influence aging. Implementing such a comprehensive approach has the potential to facilitate earlier risk assessment, disease prevention, and even improve mortality. Further study in these areas will continue to advance our understanding and refine therapeutic interventions for a healthier cardiovascular aging process.Keywords: vascular aging, cardiovascular aging, inflammaging, systems biology medicine, microbiome, toxic metals, bioidentical hormone replacement

2. Contra Costa Community College District Vocational Education Report.

Author

Contra Costa Community Coll. District, Martinez, CA. Office of District Research.

Abstract

This report provides an overview of the legislative and administrative context of Vocational Education and profiles Vocational Education nationally, statewide, and at Contra Costa Community College District (CCCCD). Certain national trends, economic trends, and labor market trends have created implications for vocational and technical education in California. For example, the volume of the educational opportunities must increase greatly to meet the demands created by California's rapidly increasing population. Therefore, it is necessary that California community colleges create a kind of vocational and technical education that is technically sound and up-to-date as well as academically vigorous and culturally inclusive. The document discusses the five priorities of the California State Plan, which include performance accountability, curriculum development and improvement, professional development, student support structures, and partnership development. The document also addresses the recommendations made by the California's Field Review Committee on the development of vocational education in many areas including linkage and partnerships, student support services, student organizations, and funding. The document also addresses California's three components of nontraditional indicators, which address programs leading to employment in nontraditional occupations and the relationship between participation rates and completion rates.

3. Contra Costa Community College District Transfer Education Report.

Author

Contra Costa Community Coll. District, Martinez, CA.

Abstract

This research report from Contra Costa Community College District (CCCCD), California, summarizes relevant findings from assessments of the performance of students receiving transfer education, and CCCCD's progress in meeting its Partnership for Excellence (PFE) goals in this area. Findings reported include the following: (1) Student Goal Attainment--No data are available and steps are being taken to correct the problem; (2) Transfer Course Success Rates--CCCCD continues to show an increase in the percentage of students who successfully complete their transfer course work, with a 71.8% success rate for 1999-2000; (3) Transfer Statistics/Number Transferred--The number of students CCCCD sent to University of California campuses in 2000-01 increased by 18% over 1995-96 totals--On the other hand, the number of transfers to California State University campuses decreased in the same period by 13.3%; (4) Transfer Statistics/Number Eligible--CCCCD's 1999-2000 total of transfer-prepared students declined by 15.1% from its 1997-98 level; (5) Academic Performance after Transfer--Findings indicate that on average, CCCCD is preparing its transfer students as well as are other California Community College districts; and (6) Degree Completion Rate--Because an associate degree is not required to transfer, it is not surprising that the number of associate degrees awarded by CCCCD has been declining over the years.

4. Districtwide Performance and Planning Report: Serving Students in Basic Skills Education.

Author

Contra Costa Community Coll. District, Martinez, CA.

Abstract

This document addresses the needs of students that enter community colleges unprepared at entry postsecondary coursework and therefore require remedial, basic skills, and/or developmental education programs. The major student groups served by developmental programs are recent high school graduates, returning adults, high school dropouts, illiterate adults, and immigrants and students with limited English proficiency. In the last 10 years, community colleges have begun using new approaches towards developmental education. They include the following: (1) successful collaboration between high school and community colleges; (2) model 2-year and 4-year partnerships; (3) service learning programs on community college campuses; and (4) urban community college systems configured to serve as "Gateways to Democracy." The document discusses recent trends in remedial education as explained by two major studies completed by the American Association of Community Colleges and the National Study of Community College Remediation. Other topics addressed in the document include challenges to the educational community, basic skills education, assessment, and mission at Colleges of Contra Costa, standing policy issues, strategic planning discussions on basic skills, future challenges and goals of basic skills education, and grant opportunities and available resources. Contains 22 references and 5 addendums. (MZ)

Abstract

This document addresses the 2000 institutional effectiveness report for Contra Costa Community College District. The document discusses the following ten indicators which are directly aligned with Partnership for Excellence (PFE) 2005-2006 Goals: (1) Student Goal Attainment; (2) Course Success/ Persistence/ Retention Rates; (3) Certificate/ Degree Completion Numbers/ Rates; (4) Placement Number/ Rate in Workforce; (5) Transfer: Who are Eligible, Who Transfer, and Performance After Transfer; (6) Success in Subsequent Related Course Work; (7) Demonstration of Critical Literacy Skills (General Education Outcomes); (8) Responsiveness to the Community; (9) Participation Rate in Service Area; and (10) Correspondence of Fiscal Expenditures and Board Values. For certain measures, the results for the 2002 academic year are compared with results from 1995-1996, 1996-1997, 1997-1998, and 1998-1999 statistics. Since each community college within the district serves a unique purpose, the results for indicators are reported separately based on the school district in addition to a report of indicator results for the whole district. The findings are descriptive only and an interpretive context is needed to further evaluate and explain findings. The document contains three appendices, which provide statewide percent change improvement needed to achieve Partnership for Excellence Goals by Year 2005-06. (MZ)

7. Profile of District Transfers to the University of California, California State University, and St. Mary's College.

Author

Contra Costa Community Coll. District, Martinez, CA. Office of District Research. and Baratta, Frank

Abstract

The Contra Costa Community College District (CCCCD), in California, conducted a study to determine the type and number of transfer students served by both the CCCCD and by the University of California (UC), the California State University (CSU), or St. Mary's College (SMC) between 1982-83 and 1989-90. The study also assessed the completeness and fairness of CCCCD transfer data contained in reports by the California Postsecondary Education Commission (CPEC). Highlighted findings included the following: (1) during the period examined, 36,576 students were served by both the CCCCD and one of the four-year institutions; (2) of the total, 58.4% (n=21,354) were "traditional" transfer students, i.e., those who first enrolled in the CCCCD and then continued their education at UC (20.4%), CSU (74.8%), or SMC (4.9%); (3) 14% (n=5,120) were "concurrent" transfer students, i.e., those who were enrolled in one of the four-year institutions and within the CCCCD at the same time; (4) 12.9% (n=4,709) were "reverse" transfers, i.e., those who had been enrolled at one of the four-year institutions, and then enrolled within the CCCCD, while 10.8% (n=3,954) were "returning" transfers, those who were enrolled within the CCCCD, transferred to one of the four-year schools, and then transferred back to the CCCCD; (5) the number of minority transfers to UC increased by 120.6%, and to CSU by 55.7%; and (6) the criteria and accounting procedures used by CPEC seriously underestimated the number of students the district helped to make transfer-eligible or assisted in transferring to four-year institutions. The report contains narrative summaries and extensive data tables for the CCCCD and its member colleges (Contra Costa, Diablo Valley, and Los Medanos), UC, CSU, and SMC. (MAB)

8. Proposed Transfer Project between the District and the Four-Year Segments.

Author

Contra Costa Community Coll. District, Martinez, CA., Baratta, Frank, and Moody, Lee

Abstract

This project proposal provides background information and outlines a Contra Costa Community College District (CCCCD) effort to develop: (1) a framework for studying the transfer process and for assessing the success of district colleges in preparing students to transfer; (2) a mechanism for identifying and counseling potential transfer students, determining their transfer rates, and monitoring their progress through the completion of their undergraduate programs; and (3) the district's capacity to generate transfer reports to meet planning, accountability, and accreditation requirements. After discussing project purposes, the proposal reviews efforts to monitor the transfer function at the state level in California and other states; and the legislative and policy context of the transfer project. A discussion of the scope and methodology of the project is followed by descriptions of component activities, including a proposed information exchange between the district and local four-year colleges; intersegmental and district administrative support; pilot studies with the University of California and California State Universities; and development of a transfer framework, including operational definitions of such key terms as potential transfer population, vocational education population, leavers, transfer eligibles, transfer admits, transfers, basic skills population, basic skills potential transfer population, and pre-college population. The final section discusses broad policy questions. (JMC)

Abstract

Introduction: Microsurgical reimplantation in patients faces challenges due to complex factors, concerning the comorbidities of the patient and the type and severity of the amputation. The one-year survival rate is 90, 9% [1]. Plastic surgeons and a multidisciplinary team will be needed to perform microsurgical techniques, such as the use of tridimensional models to reconstruct different body parts using top-notch technology [2]. This study aims to evaluate the technique of reimplantation of the third proximal left arm in a patient with a traumatic amputation. Background of the Case Study: 49-years old man suffered an amputation of his left forearm by an industrial grinding machine in his workplace on October 5th, 2017, which resulted in a total avulsion of his limb. The patient was taken to the Emergency room to perform a warm ischemic technique for around 30 minutes. Physicians kept the amputated forearm on ice for 3 hours and conducted the intraoperative ischemia for 4 hours. The surgery included an extent debridement of the devitalized muscles, injured tendons and vessels, and the osteosynthesis of the radius and ulna without complications. After one year, researchers conducted the metacarpophalangeal capsuloplasty, tenolysis of the extensors and opening of the first space and section of the pronator quadratus. Conclusion: Revascularization within the first four hours was crucial because it prevented permanent damage to the tissues. The surgery technique focused on the reconstruction of the viable tissues, resulted in the reimplantation of the forearm.

11. Thirty-Seven Years of the Contra Costa Community College District Governing Board's Minutes in Historical Context. An Abstract.

Author

Contra Costa Community Coll. District, Martinez, CA. and Drexel, Karl O.

Abstract

This compilation of highly condensed abstracts of the minutes of governing board meetings chronicles the 37-year history of the Contra Costa Community College District (CCCCD) from 1949 to 1986. First, introductory material describes the context and the character of the opening years of the district, and lists the previous and current members of the governing boards. Next, the five periods of the CCCCD's history are traced through the board meeting minutes. Brief comments introducing each period indicate that: (1) the period between 1949 and 1962 was frought with controversy that ended with the dismissal of Superintendent Drummond McCunn by the board; (2) between 1962 and 1965, the CCCCD, which had no superintendent, shifted from District domination by McCunn to a tradition of college autonomy within a framework of District leadership; (3) during the 10-year superintendency of Karl Drexel (1965-1974), the district experienced an era of consolidation, relative stability, and marked educational progress; (4) the period from 1974 to 1984, during the superintendency of Harry Buttimer, was characterized by stability in enrollments, collective bargaining in staff contracts, and the need for financial retrenchment; and (5) during the first 3 years of the chancellorship of John Carhart (1984-1986) many top personnel changes occurred and new programs were implemented within the CCCCD. Appendices include lists of CCCCD officers and instructors in spring 1950 and administration and faculty in 1950-51; a personnel standards report; and other documents important to the history of the district.

Abstract

Objectives: This study aims to identify infection etiology in febrile neutropenia (FN) is vital. This study explores different microbiological approaches and their impact on diagnosing infections in patients with hematologic malignancies and FN. Methods: This is a retrospective analysis conducted at the Hospital Clinic of Barcelona details microbiological testing strategies used to diagnose infections at FN onset between January 2020 and July 2022. Results: A total of 4520 microbiological tests were ordered in 462 FN episodes, achieving a 10% test positivity rate, with 200 (43.3%) episodes showing microbiological documentation of infection. Blood cultures (40.4%), non-culture blood tests (21.2%), and respiratory tract samples (16.2%) were the most requested. Blood cultures exhibited the highest (16.9%) test positivity rates, whereas non-culture blood tests showed the lowest (3.3%). Bacterial infections were present in 149 of 462 (32.3%) FN episodes. Viral infections (66 of 462, 14.3%)—notably, respiratory viruses—were also frequent. Mortality rate at 60 days was 9.1%; documented infections were associated with a higher risk (15%). Conclusions: In the current landscape of antimicrobial diagnostics, our findings revealed the highest reported rate of microbiologically documented infections at FN onset. Bacterial infections are common; however, our data reiterate the significance of viral infections in causing fever. Optimizing FN management during respiratory viral infections remains a challenge for antimicrobial de-escalation. The low positivity rates observed in certain diagnostic tests emphasize the need for cost-effective diagnostic stewardship.

Abstract

Las humanidades digitales han cambiado la forma de investigar la literatura en lengua española, pero su impacto no ha llegado a la enseñanza. En este libro se aborda, mediante un recorrido sistemático y detallado, con ejemplos y ejercicios prácticos, diferentes metodologías digitales que nos llevan desde la búsqueda de textos en lengua española en repositorios, su almacenaje, su preparación para el análisis y su análisis con diferentes técnicas. Se busca facilitar la integración de las metodologías digitales en las aulas universitarias y su posterior aplicación en el estudio de la literatura escrita en lengua española. El fin último es la revisión de cánones e historias de la literatura estancadas y que nuevas generaciones de investigadores e investigadoras se asomen a otra forma de concebir las disciplinas, propongan nuevas aperturas del canon, pongan a disposición del público general obras olvidadas y las integren en sus estudios cuantitativos aprovechando los trabajos de digitalización previos y emprendiendo otros nuevos para ampliar los límites de la investigación literaria.

Abstract

En los últimos años, los subproductos agrícolas han sido objeto de continuas investigaciones para encontrar formas de solucionar los problemas ambientales que estos generan, y esta investigación tiene como objetivo contribuir a esta tarea mediante el uso de residuos de arroz (Oryza sativa L.) para la obtención de nanocelulosa utilizando un método bioquímico; el cual consistió en recolectar la cascarilla y someterla a un tratamiento con NaOH (5%, 10%, 15%) y 4 tamaños de tamices (4, 2, 0.6 y 0.3 mm). Continuando con un blanqueo usando NaClO al 1% y un pretratamiento con HCl al 0.65%. Ya obtenida la biomasa de celulosa se procesó con dos enzimas: D-(+) celobiosa (SIGMA-ALDRICH) y la enzima endoglucanasa (SIGMA-ALDRICH) en un buffer con un rango de pH 4-5 durante 72 h, al término se neutralizó con agua destilada para proceder hacer sonicación, diálisis y centrifugación, por último, se secó y se caracterizó lo obtenido por SEM, FTIR, TEM, DSC y XDR. La caracterización del producto de la síntesis, evidencía que se obtuvo nanocelulosa a partir de la hidrólisis con el complejo enzimático propuesto, lo que representa una alternativa de reutilización del residuo contaminante para el estado de Morelos, México.

38. Yesterday I Learned There Was Forever.

Author

Pinel School, Martinez, CA.

Abstract

Pinel is a small, nongraded school for children aged 5-14 in Martinez, California. In 1969, it received a grant to bring together white suburban children and those from minority areas. This was a program of interracial contact primarily for the benefit of white children. It took place over two five-week summer sessions and Thursdays during the regular school year. This book is a photographic record of the experience, put together in lieu of a formal "accountability" report. The pictures show the activities of the children, in groups and by themselves. The accompanying text consists of poetry which tries to capture the feelings of the experience and satires on formal education practices and jargon. (JK)

Although vaccination with live or attenuated orf virus is the preferred option for disease control, the vaccine is unavailable in many countries. Treatment of orf lesions involves standard hygiene and in numerous cases, management of presumptive secondary infections with antibiotics, increasing risks of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). The wound dressing formulation Tri-Solfen® containing two local anaesthetics (lignocaine and bupivacaine), adrenaline and an antiseptic (cetrimide) in a gel formulation was developed for pain relief in sheep undergoing surgical husbandry procedures in Australia. Recently, TS therapy was found to reduce suffering and enhance recovery in cattle and buffalo with oral and skin lesions due to foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) virus infection. It was noted that TS has a low pH and is potentially viricidal, potentially aiding disease control.Methods: One-month-old lambs (n=14), naturally infected with orf, were recruited from a farm during a natural outbreak of the disease. The animals were selected at the early stages of the infection and randomly divided into two cohorts: Group A (n=11) treated with the topical wound gel formulation (TS); and Group B (n=3) an untreated control group. Swabs were obtained before treatment (T0) and on days one (T1), 3 (T2) and 5 (T3) post-treatment, then submitted to direct DNA extraction with real-time PCR quantification, plus incubation with primary tissue cultures from ovine skin fibroblasts (OSF) and T-immortalized goat embryonic fibroblasts (TIGEF).Results: Although no significant differences were found in the clinical progression of the lesions and PCR quantification (p=0.722) between these small cohorts, there was a significant difference (p< 0.05) in reduction in infective viral load between the groups when assessed in OSF cell cultures between T0 and T3.Conclusion: These preliminary findings suggest that treatment of early stage lesions with this TS may reduce the infective viral load present in orf lesions.Keywords: sheep, contagious ecthyma, wound formulation, local therapy

Abstract

Metal-oxides hold promise as superior plasmonic materials in the mid-infrared compared to metals, although their integration over established material technologies still remains challenging. We demonstrate localized surface plasmons in self-assembled, hemispherical CdZnO metal-oxide nanoparticles on GaAs, as a route to enhance the absorption in mid-infrared photodetectors. In this system, two localized surface plasmon modes are identified at 5.3 and 2.7 μm, which yield an enhancement of the light intensity in the underlying GaAs. In the case of the long-wavelength mode the enhancement is as large as 100 near the interface, and persists at depths down to 50 nm. We show numerically that both modes can be coupled to infrared intersubband transitions in GaAs-based multiple quantum wells, yielding an absorbed power gain as high as 5.5, and allowing light absorption at normal incidence. Experimentally, we demonstrate this coupling in a nanoparticle/multiple quantum well structure, where under p-polarization the intersubband absorption is enhanced by a factor of 2.5 and is still observed under s-polarization, forbidden by the usual absorption selection rules. Thus, the integration of CdZnO on GaAs can help improve the figures of merit of quantum well infrared photodetectors, concept that can be extended to other midinfrared detector technologies.

Abstract

The first U.S. demonstration of the NGK sodium/sulfur battery technology was launched in August 2002 when a prototype system was installed at a commercial office building in Gahanna, Ohio. American Electric Power served as the host utility that provided the office space and technical support throughout the project. The system was used to both reduce demand peaks (peak-shaving operation) and to mitigate grid power disturbances (power quality operation) at the demonstration site. This report documents the results of the demonstration, provides an economic analysis of a commercial sodium/sulfur battery energy storage system at a typical site, and describes a side-by-side demonstration of the capabilities of the sodium/sulfur battery system, a lead-acid battery system, and a flywheel-based energy storage system in a power quality application.

Abstract

In an emotional Stroop task, combat-related words were more distracting for Veterans with PTSD than for those without. We believe the test is a suitable measure of emotional reactivity and attentional bias that can be obtained before and after behavioral and pharmacological therapies. In addition, the patients showed a substantial deficit in motor response inhibition. Greater PTSD and depressive symptoms were both associated with worse performance on the motor task. The co-occurrence of mTBI and PTSD did not worsen the emotional and cognitive control difficulties associated with PTSD alone. Increased levels of impulsivity and a decreased ability to filter out distracting and emotionally intrusive information can negatively impact social and occupational functioning. new EEG findings revealed that Veterans with mTBI/PTSD showed deficits in error monitoring processes that are implemented by the medical prefrontal cortex. In the future support vector machine learning algorithms will be applied to sets of multiple EEG measures. This may assist in the classification of patient groups vs. controls., The original document contains color images.
