Hypothetical proposed Hale Passage salmon aquaculture site: environmental impact assessment

The Hale Passage Salmon Aquaculture Site is a hypothetical Atlantic salmon aquaculture site located within the coastal waters of the Salish Sea in Whatcom County, Washington. The proposed operation would include two 20x40 meter net pens sited within Hale Passage between Lummi Island and Lummi Nation, eastsoutheast of the ferry route

Public perceptions of coronary events risk factors: a discrete choice experiment

Objectives: To assess public perceptions of coronary heart disease (CHD) risk factors. Design: Discrete choice experiment questionnaire. Setting: Six provincial centres in Northern Ireland. Participants: 1000 adults of the general public in Northern Ireland. Primary and secondary outcomes: The general public's perception of CHD risk factors. The effect of having risk factor(s) on that perception. Results: Two multinomial logit models were created. One was a basic model (no heterogeneity permitted), while the other permitted heterogeneity based on respondents' characteristics. In both models individuals with very high cholesterol were perceived to be at the highest risk of having a coronary event. Respondents who reported having high cholesterol perceived the risk contribution of very high cholesterol to be greater than those who reported having normal cholesterol. Similar findings were observed with blood pressure and smoking. Respondents who were male and older perceived the contribution of age and gender to be lower than respondents who were female and younger. Conclusions: Respondents with different risk factors perceived such factors differently. These divergent perceptions of CHD risk factors could be a barrier to behavioural change. This brings into focus the need for more tailored health promotion campaigns to tackle CHD

Information Seeking by Under-Represented Communities

Final project for INST490: Integrative Capstone (Fall 2019). University of Maryland, College Park.Prince George's County Parks and Recreation offers recreation programs, facilities, and services throughout the entire county to its residents and visitors. The county operates and maintains more than 27,000 acres of parkland for parks, picnic areas, athletic fields, historic sites, community centers, and recreation facilities. The county also seeks to preserve parts of this parkland as buffers and natural open space. Parks and Recreation services include art and nature programs, fitness and sports programs, live performances, more than 90 miles of hiker/biker/equestrian trails, outdoor festivals, self-improvement classes, summer camps, teen and senior activities, and trips. While the county offers these various services and programs, more initiatives are needed to understand how Prince George's County residents are using these programs and services, or even if they are using them. Understanding how members of underrepresented communities use these services will allow the Department to better tailor what they offer for the benefit of all its residents. Through this project, the Parks and Recreation Department seeks to better understand how its residents, in particular how underrepresented communities, use its services and programs. The Department wants to know their information seeking behavior, whether different groups use the parks differently, and if certain parks features are being used more or less. To gather this information, an online and in-person survey, developed by the team member authors, was administered at various events, beginning in September 2019 and finishing in December 2019. The main point of contact throughout this project was Edith Michel, a certified Parks and Recreation Professional with more than 20 years of experience in local government within the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission. Other key Parks and Recreation staff who we worked with are Alex Teaff, the Community Outreach Manager and Kira Lewis, the Acting Chief of the Public Affairs & Marketing Division.Prince George’s Count

La presente investigación se realizó en el área académica del Instituto de la Gestión Privada, Ate 2016., con RUC Nº 20184564951, ubicado en la carretera central kilómetro 9.00 en el paradero la Cruz de Huachipa, Distrito de Ate Vitarte, Provincia y Departamento de Lima. Su objetivo fue: establecer cómo el desempeño laboral tiene incidencia en la calidad de servicio al estudiante en el área académica del Instituto de la Gestión Privada, Ate 2016. Las organizaciones educativas pasan por tener un desempeño laboral de sus trabajadores de una manera poco eficiente incidiendo en la calidad del servicio a los estudiantes, quienes pasan horas y horas esperando ser atendidos y muchas veces maltratados por los trabajadores de turno de estas instituciones a nivel nacional y siendo los estudiantes quienes aportan con sus pensiones de enseñanza para mantener a estas instituciones. El Instituto de Gestión Privada, de Ate como una Institución Superior es una asociación que se compone de una recopilación de componentes interrelacionados, por ejemplo, la estructura autorizada, los procedimientos y, en particular, la conducta del activo humano que es una parte principal de la asociación.

Clinical Implications of Combinatorial Pharmacogenomic Tests Based on Cytochrome P450 Variant Selection

Despite the potential to improve patient outcomes, the application of pharmacogenomics (PGx) is yet to be routine. A growing number of PGx implementers are leaning toward using combinatorial PGx (CPGx) tests (i.e., multigene tests) that are reusable over patients’ lifetimes. However, selecting a single best available CPGx test is challenging owing to many patient- and population-specific factors, including variant frequency differences across ethnic groups. The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the detection rate of currently available CPGx tests based on the cytochrome P450 (CYP) gene variants they target. The detection rate was defined as the percentage of a given population with an “altered metabolizer” genotype predicted phenotype, where a CPGx test targeted both gene variants a prospective diplotypes. A potential genotype predicted phenotype was considered an altered metabolizer when it resulted in medication therapy modification based on Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium (CPIC) guidelines. Targeted variant CPGx tests found in the Genetic Testing Registry (GTR), gene selection information, and diplotype frequency data from the Pharmacogenomics Knowledge Base (PharmGKB) were used to determine the detection rate of each CPGx test. Our results indicated that the detection rate of CPGx tests covering CYP2C19, CYP2C9, CYP2D6, and CYP2B6 show significant variation across ethnic groups. Specifically, the Sub-Saharan Africans have 63.9% and 77.9% average detection rates for CYP2B6 and CYP2C19 assays analyzed, respectively. In addition, East Asians (EAs) have an average detection rate of 55.1% for CYP2C9 assays. Therefore, the patient’s ethnic background should be carefully considered in selecting CPGx tests

Optimal Dietary Energy and Protein for Gilt Development: Age at Puberty, Ovulation Rate, and Reproductive Tract Traits

The effect of feeding different lysine and metabolizable energy (ME) levels to 1221 crossbred Large White × Landrace developing gilts housed in groups from 100 d of age until slaughter (approximately 260 d of age) on age at puberty and reproductive tract measurements were evaluated. Gilts were randomly allotted to six corn-soybean diets formulated to provide two standardized ileal digestible lysine levels [100% (high, HL) and 85% (low, LL)] and threemetabolizable energy levels [ME, 90% (low, LME), 100% (medium, MME), 110% (high, HME). Average age at puberty was 193 d of age. There were no effects of the dietary treatments on age at puberty or any of the reproductive tract measurements. Despite significant differences in the lysine:energy ratio in the diets, the expected differences in reproductive traits were not observed. Other factors such as body weight (BW) and days of estrous cycle had a greater effect on the traits recorded than feed provided
