Selector’s Guide for Resources in the Humanities: An Open Access Student Publication

Students in the Master of Library and Information Science degree program at Valdosta State University who completed the elective course in Humanities Information Services in 2014 produced bibliographies on sub-disciplines of the humanities. These example bibliographies are compiled into the document titled Selector’s Guide for Resources in the Humanities: An Open Access Student Publication. The student authored sections of the Selector’s Guide focus on narrowly defined humanities areas and contain resources representative of professional organizations, major serials, online indexes and databases, primary sources, classic and contemporary monographs, standard reference works, vetted websites, media, and open access resources. The compilers of this guide offer it as a companion to the document entitled Teaching Guide for Resources in the Humanities: An Open Access Publication. The Teaching Guide references two tutorials, one on WorldCat and one on the Gale Literary Index. Copies of both tutorials are found in here. The authors of these materials invite professors seeking a guide to the providers and formats of information in the humanities to use the bibliographies therein as a starting point for creating assignments and to use materials from the teaching guide as class exercises, if appropriate

Can Systemic Interventions Designed to Reduce Reoffending by Youth also Reduce their Victimization?

Previous research indicates considerable overlap between populations of boys who are victimized and boys who victimize others. This study was concerned with whether a systems-focused treatment program designed to address individual and systemic risk factors associated with the perpetration of sexual and violent crimes might also be successful in reducing boys’ victimization by others. Boys adjudicated for sexual offences who received ‘treatment as usual’ (TAU; n = 335) were compared with similarly adjudicated boys who completed the treatment program (n = 200) on their histories of contact with police either as offenders or victims. Despite their higher rates of pre-intervention victimization, the treatment group were victimized less frequently post-intervention than the TAU group. Continued offending was the strongest predictor of victimization post-intervention. These findings suggest that offending and victimization share common risk factors that may be addressed simultaneously within offence-focused treatment

Diseño de un manual de detección de ansiedad social en adolescentes

Curso de Especial InterésEl objetivo de este trabajo de grado ha sido diseñar un manual dirigido a padres y docentes, en el que se establezcan técnicas de detección de ansiedad social en adolescentes; el diseño de este manual permite un aprendizaje significativo de una forma diferente, en un lenguaje claro y preciso, en formato digital para un fácil acceso y portabilidad del material, logrando de esta forma, que la población adolescente sea beneficiada a través de las acciones que se emprenderán por parte de los padres de familia, docentes y profesionales.142 p.RESUMEN 1.

Genetic determinants of telomere length from 109,122 ancestrally diverse whole-genome sequences in TOPMed

Genetic studies on telomere length are important for understanding age-related diseases. Prior GWAS for leukocyte TL have been limited to European and Asian populations. Here, we report the first sequencing-based association study for TL across ancestrally-diverse individuals (European, African, Asian and Hispanic/Latino) from the NHLBI Trans-Omics for Precision Medicine (TOPMed) program. We used whole genome sequencing (WGS) of whole blood for variant genotype calling and the bioinformatic estimation of telomere length in n=109,122 individuals. We identified 59 sentinel variants (p-value OBFC1indicated the independent signals colocalized with cell-type specific eQTLs for OBFC1 (STN1). Using a multi-variant gene-based approach, we identified two genes newly implicated in telomere length, DCLRE1B (SNM1B) and PARN. In PheWAS, we demonstrated our TL polygenic trait scores (PTS) were associated with increased risk of cancer-related phenotypes
