Perpetuating the Profession

Fall quarter is nearly at an end, and most of us can look back on it as being a very profitable one. This is certainly true of Home Economics Recruitment Committee. In case you\u27re wondering just what Home Economics Recruitment is, we are a committee of girls, a branch of Home Economics Council, whose main purpose is to promote home economics as a field of study and to interest and inform people of the many opportunities in home economics. Our program is divided into two main parts - the week-ends program and our off-campus program

This Is Station WOI...

I always plan to do my outdoor work early in the morning, so that I may be in the house by ten o\u27clock, time to tune in on the \u27Homemakers\u27 Half Hour from station WOI, radio broadcasting station of Iowa State College

It Would Be a Woman...

Are women better automobile drivers than men? Ore are men superior in this respect? Ask any man and he will emphatically assure you that men are by far better drivers. Ask any woman and she will likely tell you the opposite

From Cleopatra to Betty Coed...

Cosmetics, such as face powders and rouges, were known long before the time of Galen. The ancient Egyptian women were versed in the art of make-up, and the famed Cleopatra knew well how to enhance her loveliness by artificial means. Nowadays it is no longer considered coquettish and vain for woman to apply make-up. Cosmetics are considered an indispensable aid to beauty

Sweets for the Sweet...

Yes, and plenty of dainty Christmas candies, all packed away in waxed paper or tin boxes, ready for holiday entertaining. Aunt Alice\u27s favorite divinity, peanut clusters for Uncle Will, stuffed dates fro grandma and grandpa. And lots of fudge and peanut brittle for the children

Oregon School-Based Health Centers: Descriptive Analysis of a Patient Satisfaction Survey

Oregon’s School Based Health Centers (SBHCs) have grown from five in 1986 to the 41 state certified centers currently in operation. The centers provide developmentally appropriate primary care and behavioral health care services to elementary, middle, and high school sites. SBHC program goals include increasing student access to care, and improving both health and educational outcomes. In the 2000-2001 service year, the Oregon SBHC program began the administration of a new patient satisfaction survey designed to measure satisfaction with services, access, receipt of prevention messages, and number of missed classes. A proportional random survey sample was achieved with a 98% response rate. Results indicate that SBHC patients had high levels of satisfaction and compliance, an increased likelihood of accessing care, high levels of compliance and satisfaction with services, decreased time from school for health care reasons, and were likely to have received one or more prevention messages. This experience demonstrates how public health surveillance can be incorporated into a SBHC clinical setting with minimal disruption to services and can inform SBHC program evaluation and improvement

Evidence for a single butyrylcholinesterase gene in individuals carrying the C5 plasma cholinesterase variant (CHE2)

DNA of 3 unrelated individuals carrying the human plasma butyrylcholinesterase C5 variant (CHE2) was isolated from white blood cells. Southern blot patterns of DNA restriction fragments probed with each of the 4 butyrylcholinesterase exons provided evidence that the production of C5 is not directed by a second butyrylcholinesterase gene. This finding supports the suggestion that the C5 variant is a hybrid enzyme resulting from the association of butyrylcholinesterase subunits with a non-cholinesterase protein.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/28681/1/0000498.pd
