The Fecundity and Reproductive Season of \u3ci\u3eFundulus sciadicus\u3c/i\u3e in Nebraska (Actinopterygii: Fundulidae)
The reproductive season of Fundulus sciadicus in Nebraska was investigated using preserved materials. Ovarian eggs matured in late March or early April. By mid-July all adult females were spent. Females with enlarged eggs were in their second, third, and fourth seasons of life. Eggs were classified on the basis of their morphology and the presence or absence of oil droplets and yolk. Mature eggs ranged in size from 1.6 to 2.0 mm in diameter. The largest ovarian complement (mature eggs only) was 88. Evidence of reabsorption (large eggs that have collapsed and have only small amounts of yolk) was seen in fish collected in June, July, and August, and suggests that clutch size is smaller than the ovarian complement in this species
Physical Therapy Professionals’ Opioid Knowledge and Attitudes in a Midwestern State: A Cross Sectional Survey
Purpose: To determine perspectives towards opioid use, knowledge on managing an opioid overdose, and awareness towards individuals who use opioids of Indiana physical therapy (PT) professionals. Methods: An online questionnaire was disseminated to PT professionals in Indiana from various practice settings. This questionnaire included two standardized measures, the Opioid Overdose Knowledge Scale (OOKS) and the Opioid Overdose Attitude Scale (OOAS). An additional 12 questions regarding the role of PT and other groups in the opioid crisis as well as opioid education were included. These questions were developed by discussion between investigators as well as feedback from another rehabilitation professional. Descriptive statistics were primarily used to analyze the data. Further investigation via non-parametric tests, including Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal-Wallis tests, were performed to analyze the impact of demographic variables on OOKS and OOAS scores. Results: Of 1840 surveys disseminated, the questionnaire was initiated by 67 PT professionals, while 58 participants completed it. The OOKS score was 30.24 mean (5.67 standard deviation) and the OOAS score was 90.36 (9.36). 93.1% of respondents reported wanting to help in an overdose situation, but 94.8% of respondents also reported needing more training. Only 48.3% of participants received education on the opioid crisis within the last 3 years that significantly impacted their clinical practice. Those who had opioid education in the last 3 years had higher OOKS scores (p = .003) and OOAS scores (p = .002) compared to those who did not receive opioid education. American Physical Therapy Association members had statistically significant higher OOAS scores (p = .005) but not OOKS scores (p = .322). Conclusion: A sample of PT professionals in Indiana surveyed in this study lack knowledge and awareness on opioid use, specifically managing an overdose. While most want to help, further education or training is needed for them to confidently manage these situations

Direct Beam Solar Lighting System
A direct beam solar lighting system for collecting and distributing sunlight into a room. The system includes a rotatable solar collector head to receive sunlight and to reflect the sunlight downward into a transition tube having a reflective interior surface. The light-concentrating transition tube reflects sunlight into a reflective light tube which directs the reflected sunlight through a plenum space into the room. The system includes a drive mechanism for rotating the rotatable solar collector, and a light fixture at end of the light tube to disburse said reflected sunlight onto a ceiling and a wall in the room. In an embodiment the system includes one or more homogenizing reflectors within the solar collector for collecting the sunlight and directing the sunlight more uniformly over the aperture of the transition tube.In an alternative embodiment, the solar collector includes a rotatable tiltable mirror for providing two-axis tracking
