Impact of the DRA Citizenship and Identity Documentation Requirement on Medi-Cal: Findings From Site Visits to Six Counties
Evaluates how the 2006 requirement for Medicaid beneficiaries to present proof of citizenship affected the workloads of California counties and enrollees' and applicants' access to Medi-Cal. Examines stakeholders' views of the requirement
Culturally Dominant Preservice Teachers in the USA: Historically and Politically Ethnic Self-Identity Discovery through Technology to Deliver More Sensitive and Effective Multicultural Instruction
Through the process of generations of assimilation, culturally dominant native English speaking preservice educators in the United States have lost their own cultural identity.Ā Reconnecting to their cultural roots can assist them in understanding their own cultural self-identity, which will engender more empathy towards their students of other cultures.Ā With a better vision of the benefits of a multicultural approach to classroom instruction, preservice teachers will be more inclined to implement multicultural instructional strategies into their own planning for daily curriculum.Ā Advances and applications in technology can provide multicultural educators with tools to assist preservice educators in discovering their own ethnic roots.Ā Becoming more knowledgeable about oneās own culture and identity will encourage future teachers to be more cognizant of the importance of including similar tactics for their own students
The N-terminal PIN domain of the exosome subunit Rrp44 harbors endonuclease activity and tethers Rrp44 to the yeast core exosome
Nuclear and cytoplasmic forms of the yeast exosome share 10 components, of which only Rrp44/Dis3 is believed to possess 3ā² exonuclease activity. We report that expression only of Rrp44 lacking 3ā²-exonuclease activity (Rrp44-exo) supports growth in S288c-related strains (BY4741). In BY4741, rrp44-exo was synthetic-lethal with loss of the cytoplasmic 5ā²-exonuclease Xrn1, indicating block of mRNA turnover, but not with loss of the nuclear 3ā²-exonuclease Rrp6. The RNA processing phenotype of rrp44-exo was milder than that seen on Rrp44 depletion, indicating that Rrp44-exo retains important functions. Recombinant Rrp44 was shown to possess manganese-dependent endonuclease activity in vitro that was abolished by four point mutations in the putative metal binding residues of its N-terminal PIN domain. Rrp44 lacking both exonuclease and endonuclease activity failed to support growth in strains depleted of endogenous Rrp44. Strains expressing Rrp44-exo and Rrp44-endoāexo exhibited different RNA processing patterns in vivo suggesting Rrp44-dependent endonucleolytic cleavages in the 5ā²-ETS and ITS2 regions of the pre-rRNA. Finally, the N-terminal PIN domain was shown to be necessary and sufficient for association with the core exosome, indicating its dual function as a nuclease and structural element

The 1901 Fort Wayne, Indiana City Election: A Political Dialogue of Ethnic Tension
Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI)In 1901, three German American candidates ran for the office of mayor in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The winner, Henry Berghoff, had emigrated from Germany as a teenager. This thesis examines the election discourse in the partisan press for signs of ethnic tension. The first chapter places Fort Wayne in historical context of German immigration and Indiana history. The second and third chapters investigate the editorial pages for evidence of ethnic tension. I also reference a few articles of an editorial nature outside of the editorial pages. The second chapter provides background information about the election and examines indications of the candidatesā ethnicity and references to the German language papers. The third chapter considers the editorial comment about Germany, the intertwining of ethnicity and the issues, and ethnic name-calling. In order to identify underlying bias for or against Germany and to better understand the context of the references to German ethnicity, the fourth chapter explores the portrayal of Germany in the Fort Wayne papers

The phylogeography, biomass allocation and phenology of Salicornia tegetaria (S. Steffen, Mucina & G. Kadereit) Piirainen & G. Kadereit, an endemic salt marsh species in South Africa
Magister Scientiae (Biodiversity and Conservation Biology) - MSc (Biodiv & Cons Biol)Salicornia tegetaria is an endemic salt marsh macrophyte that is widely distributed in
estuaries along the South African coast. The aims of the study were to understand the
phylogeography of the species, compare the biomass allocation in two regions and to
determine phenological patterns of S. tegetaria between the warm and cool temperate
biogeographical regions. The phylogeography of S. tegetaria was studied using the noncoding
chloroplast DNA region rpS16 and nuclear rDNA ITS region. Five samples each
were collected from eighteen estuaries stretching from Orange River in the Northern Cape
to Mngazana Estuary in the Eastern Cape. Above- and belowground biomass was
collected and physico-chemical conditions measured at Olifants, Berg and Langebaan
Estuaries in the cool temperate, and Heuningnes, Nahoon and Kwelera Estuaries in the
warm temperate biogeographical regions. The growth and flowering phenology of S.
tegetaria in relation to environmental conditions was investigated in the cool temperate
Langebaan Estuarine Embayment and compared to findings in the warm temperate,
permanently open Kowie Estuary. The physico-chemical gradient found between the cool
and warm temperate biogeographical regions may be useful to study climate change
effects on plant species. The comparison of similar habitats in each region may provide
insight into how different climate regimes may affect biomass allocation and phenology
Factors Influencing Health Career Choices During Cliniciansā First Three Years in Practice
Background: Health systems globally need more clinicians to work rurally and in community-based primary care. This study explores factors influencing health graduatesā choice of clinical setting and geographical location during early careers, across a range of disciplines that work together to support the health of people in community-based and rural locations.Methods: Students from eight disciplines (n = 611) were recruited prior to their final year of pre-registration training. Data were collected via three electronic surveys completed at the end of participantsā first, second, and third year of clinical practice. Data were managed and analyzed with Template Analysis.Findings: Similar factors influenced clinical setting and location choice but differed in relative importance for each. The nature of the job itself was the most important factor influencing clinical setting choices. A broader range of influences were important to geographical location choices including personal reasons, the nature of the job, the nature of the location, and job availability and opportunities. Regulatory or training requirements limited choices available to some clinicians, particularly those from medicine.Conclusion: A range of complex and interacting factors influenced health graduatesā career choices. Findings indicate that a broad system-wide approach is needed to address community and rural health workforce needs
