    The Economics of Regulations on Hen Housing in California

    Get PDF
    Beginning January 1, 2015, conventional cage housing for egg-laying hens is scheduled to be prohibited in California. We consider the economic implications of the new hen housing regulations on the California shell egg industry. Our data show that egg production is more costly using noncage systems than conventional cages. The main result of the new regulations will be a drastic reduction in the number of eggs produced in California, a large increase in egg shipments from out of state, little if any change in hen housing for eggs consumed in California, and little change in egg prices in California.animal welfare regulation, hen housing, egg supply, egg prices, egg costs of production, Agribusiness, Agricultural and Food Policy, Agricultural Finance, Consumer/Household Economics, Farm Management, Livestock Production/Industries, Production Economics, Productivity Analysis, Q11, Q18,

    Unmasking the Truth of Masks: How Science and Community Have Affected the COVID-19 Pandemic

    Get PDF
    Before the start of the pandemic, wearing masks to curb the transmission of diseases was a niche societal norm specific to certain east asian countries such as China, Japan and Korea. It was also used as a method to protect people from bad air quality. With the dawn of the COVID-19 pandemic, the scientific and societal view on wearing masks reached a global scale such that wearing a mask is synonymous with caring for the health and safety of one’s community. Several factors have played a role in this paradigm shift in the use of masks including the media, politics and scientific evidence. While it is a medical necessity, it has become a societal responsibility causing there to be disagreements on its usefulness, its effects on the environment and for some a question of whether it took away people’s freedoms. In this study, the question of how and why masks have become a social responsibility as well as whether it will maintain its role even after the pandemic ends will be explored. We look at masks from a scientific but also philosophical lens in order to determine the juncture at which they meet. Wearing a mask has become the norm, but the underlying basis as to why this is goes much deeper than meets the eye. Community, politics, empathy, and science all play a role in how we perceive the use of masks in the COVID-19 pandemic; this project asks not why this is, but how

    HIV-1 Tat exacerbates lipopolysaccharide-induced cytokine release via TLR4 signaling in the enteric nervous system

    The loss of gut epithelium integrity leads to translocation of microbes and microbial products resulting in immune activation and drives systemic inflammation in acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) patients. Although viral loads in HIV patients are significantly reduced in the post-cART era, inflammation and immune activation persist and can lead to morbidity. Here, we determined the interactive effects of the viral protein HIV-1 Tat and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) on enteric neurons and glia. Bacterial translocation was significantly enhanced in Tat-expressing (Tat+) mice. Exposure to HIV-1 Tat in combination with LPS enhanced the expression and release of the pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-6, IL-1β and TNF-α in the ilea of Tat+ mice and by enteric glia. This coincided with enhanced NF-κB activation in enteric glia that was abrogated in glia from TLR4 knockout mice and by knockdown (siRNA) of MyD88 siRNA in wild type glia. The synergistic effects of Tat and LPS resulted in a reduced rate of colonic propulsion in Tat+ mice treated with LPS. These results show that HIV-1 Tat interacts with the TLR4 receptor to enhance the pro-inflammatory effects of LPS leading to gastrointestinal dysmotility and enhanced immune activation
