Longitudinal cohort of HIV-negative transgender women of colour in New York City: protocol for the TURNNT ('Trying to Understand Relationships, Networks and Neighbourhoods among Transgender women of colour') study.
IntroductionIn the USA, transgender women are among the most vulnerable to HIV. In particular, transgender women of colour face high rates of infection and low uptake of important HIV prevention tools, including pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). This paper describes the design, sampling methods, data collection and analyses of the TURNNT ('Trying to Understand Relationships, Networks and Neighbourhoods among Transgender women of colour') study. In collaboration with communities of transgender women of colour, TURNNT aims to explore the complex social and environmental (ie, neighbourhood) structures that affect HIV prevention and other aspects of health in order to identify avenues for intervention.Methods and analysesTURNNT is a prospective cohort study, which will recruit 300 transgender women of colour (150 Black/African American, 100 Latina and 50 Asian/Pacific Islander participants) in New York City. There will be three waves of data collection separated by 6 months. At each wave, participants will provide information on their relationships, social and sexual networks, and neighbourhoods. Global position system technology will be used to generate individual daily path areas in order to estimate neighbourhood-level exposures. Multivariate analyses will be conducted to assess cross-sectional and longitudinal, independent and synergistic associations of personal relationships (notably individual social capital), social and sexual networks, and neighbourhood factors (notably neighbourhood-level social cohesion) with PrEP uptake and discontinuation.Ethics and disseminationThe TURNNT protocol was approved by the Columbia University Institutional Review Board (reference no. AAAS8164). This study will provide novel insights into the relationship, network and neighbourhood factors that influence HIV prevention behaviours among transgender women of colour and facilitate exploration of this population's health and well-being more broadly. Through community-based dissemination events and consultation with policy makers, this foundational work will be used to guide the development and implementation of future interventions with and for transgender women of colour
Use of a fluorescence-based approach to assess short-term responses of the alga Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata to metal stress
This work explores the use of fluorescent probes to evaluate the responses of the green alga Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata to the action of three nominal concentrations of Cd(II), Cr(VI), Cu(II) and Zn(II) for a short time (6 h). The toxic effect of the metals on algal cells was monitored using the fluorochromes SYTOX Green (SG, membrane integrity), fluorescein diacetate (FDA, esterase activity) and rhodamine 123 (Rh123, mitochondrial membrane potential). The impact of metals on chlorophyll a (Chl a) autofluorescence was also evaluated. Esterase activity was the most sensitive parameter. At the concentrations studied, all metals induced the loss of esterase activity. SG could be used to effectively detect the loss of membrane integrity in algal cells exposed to 0.32 or 1.3 mol L1 Cu(II). Rh123 revealed a decrease in the mitochondrial membrane potential of algal cells exposed to 0.32 and 1.3 mol L1 Cu(II), indicating that mitochondrial activity was compromised. Chl a autofluorescence was also affected by the presence of Cr(VI) and Cu(II), suggesting perturbation of photosynthesis. In conclusion, the fluorescence-based approach was useful for detecting the disturbance of specific cellular characteristics. Fluorescent probes are a useful diagnostic tool for the assessment of the impact of toxicants on specific targets of P. subcapitata algal cells.The authors thank the FCT Strategic Project PEst-OE/EQB/LA0023/2013.

Swibawa IG, Fitriana Y, Solikhin S, Suhajo R, Monica E, Wardhana RA. 2020. Pengendalian hayati nematoda puru akar pada pertanaman jambu biji Kristal di Lampung. In: Herlinda S. et al. (Eds.) Prosiding Seminar Nasional Lahan Suboptimal ke-8 Tahun 2020, Palembang 20 Oktober 2020. pp. xxx. Palembang: Penerbit & Percetakan Universitas Sriwijaya (UNSRI).One of the main problem in guava cultivation is root knot nematodes (Meloidogyne sp.). Synthetic nematicides was not suitable for controlling of nematodes on guava because of their side effect on environment and health. Therefore, it was necessary to search the alternative control technique. This research aim was to study the Purpureocillium lilacinum bionematicide to control root knot nematode on Kristal guava plantation. Field experiment with Block Experimental Design with five block was conducted in Kristal guava plantation belonging PT GGP-PG4 East Lampung, from January until May 2020. Four treatment were applied consisted of bionematicide, bionematicide plus compost, synthetic Carbofuran nematicide, and check without treatment. New shoot formation data were plotted on histogram graph, while analyses of variance was applied for root damage and nematode population and LSD test was used for mean separation by R-studio program on 5% significance level. The results show that application of P. lilacinum bionematicide solely or composed with compost were effective to control root knot nematodes on Kristal guava plantation. It was recommended to use bionematicides P. lilacinum plus compost to control plant parasitic nematodes for various cultivated plants
Implementation and Evaluation of a Pilot Training to Improve Transgender Competency Among Medical Staff in an Urban Clinic
Purpose: Transgender individuals (TGI), who identify their gender as different from their sex assigned at birth, continue facing widespread discrimination and mistreatment within the healthcare system. Providers often lack expertise in adequate transgender (TG) care due to limited specialized training. In response to these inadequacies, and to increase evidence-based interventions effecting TG-affirmative healthcare, we implemented and evaluated a structural-level intervention in the form of a comprehensive Provider Training Program (PTP) in TG health within a New York City-based outpatient clinic serving primarily individuals of color and of low socioeconomic status. This pilot intervention aimed to increase medical staff knowledge of TG health and needs, and to support positive attitudes toward TGI.
Methods: Three 2-h training sessions were delivered to 35 clinic staff across 4 months by two of the authors experienced in TG competency training; the training sessions included TG-related identity and barriers to healthcare issues,TG-specialized care, and creating TG-affirmative environments, medical forms,and billing procedures. We evaluated changes through pre-post intervention surveys by trainees.
Results: Compared to pre-training scores, post-training scores indicated significant (1) decreases in negative attitudes toward TGI and increases in TG-related clinical skills, (2) increases in staff’s awareness of transphobic practices, and (3) increases in self-reported readiness to serve TGI. The clinic increased its representation of general LGBT-related images in the waiting areas, and the staff provided highly positive training evaluations.
Conclusion: This PTP in TG health shows promise in leading to changes in provider attitudes and competence, as well as clinic systems, especially with its incorporation in continuing education endeavors, which can, in turn, contribute to health disparities reductions among TG groups
PENGARUH KONSENTRASI HPMC (HIDROXYPROPYL METHYL CELLULOSE) TERHADAP SIFAT FISIK DAN ORGANOLEPTIK VELVA JERUK MANIS
Velva adalah salah satu jenis frozen dessert yang terbuat dari hancuran buah (puree). Penggunaan jeruk manis sebagai bahan baku pembuatan velva sangat berpotensi terkait dengan produktivitasnya yang tinggi di Indonesia. Ciri-ciri velva yang baik adalah tekstur halus, tidak mudah meleleh, kenampakan seragam, warna menarik, dan citarasa yang sesuai dengan buah aslinya. Upaya untuk menghasilkan velva yang baik dapat diatasi dengan penambahan hidrokoloid berupa HPMC (Hidroxyproyl Methyl Cellulose). Rancangan penelitian yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah Rancangan Acak Kelompok (RAK) dengan satu faktor, yaitu konsentrasi HPMC yang terdiri dari tujuh level (0,6%; 1,0%; 1,4%; 1,8%; 2,2%; 2,6%; dan 3,0%), dengan tiap perlakuan diulang sebanyak empat kali. Parameter penelitian terhadap sifat fisik (viskositas, overrun, dan laju pelelehan) dan sifat organoleptik (sandness, kesukaan terhadap pelelehan di dalam mulut, dan flavor) dari velva. Data dianalisis secara statistik dengan ANOVA pada α = 5% dan dilanjutkan dengan uji DMRT (Duncan's Multiple Range Test) pada α = 5%. Berdasarkan hasil uji ANOVA pada α = 5% diketahui bahwa konsentrasi HPMC berpengaruh nyata terhadap sifat fisik (viskositas, overrun, dan laju pelelehan) serta sifat organoleptik (pelelehan di mulut dan sandness). Range viskositas sebelum dan sesudah aging sebesar 0,2925-0,8275 cP dan 0,4150-0,9950 cP, overrun 6,28-16,87%. Nilai kesukaan panelis terhadap pelelehan di dalam mulut 5,96, sandness 5,78 dan flavor 5,20

Absence of Adolescent Obesity in Grenada: Is This a Generational Effect?
Background: Low- and middle-income countries are affected disproportionately by the ongoing global obesity pandemic. Representing a middle income country, the high prevalence of obesity among Grenadian adults as compared to US adults is expected as part of global obesity trends. The objective of this study was to determine if Grenadian adolescents have a higher prevalence of overweight compared to their US counterparts, and if a disparity exists between urban and rural adolescents.Methods: Using a subcohort of participants in the Grenadian Nutrition Student Survey, diet quality and anthropometric measures were collected from 55% of the classrooms of first year secondary students in Grenada (n = 639). Rural or urban designations were given to each school. Body Mass Index (BMI) was calculated and categorized as overweight or obese for each student following CDC classification cutoffs. A standardized BMI (BMIz) was calculated for each school. Sex-specific BMI and overall BMIz were compared to a 1980s US cohort. Multilevel models, overall and stratified by sex, of students nested within schools were conducted to determine if BMIz differed by rural or urban locality, gender, and diet quality.Results: The mean age of this cohort was 12.7 (SD = 0.8) years with 83.8% of the cohort identifying as Afro-Caribbean. Females had nearly twice the prevalence of overweight when compared to males (22.7 vs. 12.2%) but a similar prevalence of obesity (8.2 vs. 6.8%). Grenadian adolescents had lower prevalence of overweight (females: 22.7 vs. 44.7%; males: 12.2 vs. 38.8%, respectively) as compared to US counterparts. Eating a traditional diet was negatively associated with BMIz score among females (β^ = −0.395; SE = 0.123) in a stratified, multilevel analysis. BMIz scores did not differ significantly by rural or urban school designation.Conclusions: Among Grenadian adolescents, this study identified a lower overweight prevalence compared to US counterparts and no difference in overweight prevalence by urban or rural location. We hypothesize that the late introduction of processed foods to Grenada protected this cohort from obesogenic promoters due to a lack of fetal overnutrition. However, further research in subsequent birth cohorts is needed to determine if adolescent obesity will increase due to a generational effect
