Shortlist to Nominee

Moving from the shortlist to the nominee on the United States Supreme Court is impacted by many things. It is well established that factors such as Ivy League law school attendance, age, race, gender and presidents viewing nominations as a representation of their policy preferences. This study aims to further analyze how institution of legal education, race and gender impacts the likelihood that someone who is on the shortlist to becoming the actual nominee. In this context, shortlist is referring to a list of selected candidates from which a final choice is made. Actual nominee refers to the candidate that is selected off of the shortlist to be confirmed in front of the Senate. To test the hypotheses that top 3 law school, race, and gender lead to being moved from shortlist to nominee, cases from President Hoover to President Trump were compiled into a Harvard dataset. The results of a logistic regression showed one hypothesis to be true, with the other two not being supported. These results suggest that attending a top three law school, Harvard, Yale or Columbia, is the most important factor in the likelihood of becoming a Supreme Court Justic

Pregnancy Influences on The Rumen Environment of Angus Heifers Differing in Feed Efficiency

With an expected increase in population by 2050, the demand for more animal protein will increase. To improve the sustainability of US cattle production, producers and researchers have historically focused on improving the feed efficiency of steers, producing a more marketable beef product. However, without a successful pregnancy, there would be no marketable animal to feed. The objective of this study was to examine the physiological changes that occur during pregnancy and their impact on the rumen microbial communities and the correlation to feed efficiency status in Angus heifers. Utilizing 17 cannulated Angus heifers, feed efficiency data was previously collected by utilizing a GrowSafe to monitor feed intake for a 70d trial period to calculate residual feed intake. Following the trial, heifers were bred, and rumen fluid and content samples were collected every two weeks during gestation and four samples were collected after parturition. A total of 30-40mL of rumen fluid was collected during each sampling and rumen solid material was removed from the ventral sac. To analyze the microbial communities, DNA was extracted from the rumen samples, sequencing libraries were prepared targeting the bacterial 16S rRNA gene and was sequenced using an Illumina MiSeq. All microbial analyses were analyzed in the R environment where alpha diversity, beta diversity, and relative abundances were calculated. Metabolite analysis was performed using ultra high performance liquid chromatography high resolution mass spectrometry, and Metabolomic Analysis and Visualization Engine (MAVEN) was used for metabolite identification. Downstream analysis including the “ANCOMBC” package, with a focus on the global results, indicated 10 ASVs, all Prevotella or Succiniclasticum at the genus level, with significant changes across time points. Based on a one-way ANOVA, 90 metabolites were determined significant throughout pregnancy. The 10 metabolites with the highest variable importance of projection (VIP) scores were used for correlation calculations. Of the 10 ASVs and 10 metabolites, significant correlations with feed efficiency status were found at various time points when P\u3c0.05. The he rumen microbiome at various time points during pregnancy could indicate feed efficiency status, but further research is necessary to continue to improve the cow calf enterprise

Le syndrome douloureux régional complexe de type 1 : évaluation et traitement en physiothérapie

Travail d'intégration réalisé dans le cadre du cours PHT-6113.Problématique : Le syndrome douloureux régional complexe de type 1 (SDRC-1) est caractérisé par une variété de symptômes moteurs, sensoriels et autonomiques. La présentation clinique varie, mais inclue fréquemment la présence d’une douleur démesurée par rapport au trauma initial. La pathophysiologie étant encore mal comprise, c’est un défi de reconnaître le SDRC-I et de poser le diagnostic clinique et de le traiter. Objectif(s): Recenser les modalités d’évaluation et de traitement en physiothérapie dans la littérature et faire un constat de la prise en charge réelle des patients atteints du SDRC-I dans le Montréal métropolitain. Stratégie méthodologique : Revue de littérature faite à partir des bases de données Medline, Cinahl, Cochrane et Embase ainsi que des rencontres avec 16 différents milieux cliniques de Montréal. Résultats : Les critères diagnostiques de Bruehl(1999) semblent faire consensus. L’Impairment Level SumScore identifie le niveau de sévérité de la pathologie. La physiothérapie est complémentaire aux autres approches thérapeutiques. Le programme d’imagerie motrice (PIM) incluant la thérapie miroir est la modalité de traitement avec la meilleure évidence scientifique. Quoique certaines cliniques utilisent des pratiques appuyées par la littérature, un manque de connaissances et d’uniformité au niveau du PIM et de la prise en charge initiale sont présents dans la majorité des milieux. Conclusion : Les cliniciens doivent tenter de reconnaître les premiers signes du SDRC-1 le plus tôt possible afin d’éviter la persistance de la pathologie. La prise en charge devrait être assurée par une équipe interdisciplinaire et le PIM devrait faire partie du plan de traitement

Assessing the SNAP Consumer Environment at Farmers Markets

The SNAP at Farmers Market Environmental Assessment was developed as a tool for market managers to examine SNAP participant accessibility for redeeming SNAP benefits at farmers markets. By completing the SNAP at Farmers Market Environmental Assessment, the tool can serve as a guide for providing practical next steps for market improvement. Extension practitioners and researchers, including SNAP-Ed staff, can use the assessment tool to support policy, systems, and environment change efforts that promote access to local, high-quality foods by SNAP consumers, the redemption of SNAP benefits, and potentially increased sales at farmers markets

Competencias cognitivas y factores de riesgo asociados a deserción estudiantil en una universidad pública peruana

Objetivo: Determinar la relación entre las competencias cognitivas con los factores de riesgo asociados a la deserción estudiantil universitaria. Material y métodos: Es una investigación básica, no experimental y transversal. Se utilizó la técnica de la encuesta personal, para la evaluación de competencias cognitivas, se utilizó el cuestionario “Competencia del pensamiento crítico” conformado por 24 preguntas de tipo Likert del autor Loza (2017), el cuestionario “Competencia de tomar decisiones” conformado por 18 preguntas de tipo Likert de autoría de la Universidad de Cádiz (s.f.), el cuestionario “Competencia emocional” conformado por 14 preguntas de tipo Likert de los autores Bisquerra, Martínez, Obiols, & Pérez (2006) y el cuestionario “Competencia de solucionar problemas” conformado por 25 preguntas de tipo Likert de los autores Maydeu-Olivares & D´Zurilla (1997). Para la variable factores de riesgo asociados a la deserción estudiantil universitaria se utilizó una ficha de evaluación integral del estudiante, que recoge información de los factores socioeconómicos, factores personales, factores institucionales y factores académicos, elaborada por Quinteros (2018). Resultados: Al vincular las competencias cognitivas y factores asociados a la deserción estudiantil (personal, académico, socioeconómico, institucional) se obtuvo que el pensamiento crítico tiene Rho = -,182, la toma de decisiones, Rho = -,464, el aspecto emocional, Rho = -,686 y la solución de problemas, -,390. Conclusión: Se comprueba que la competencia cognitiva: emocional tienen una correlación negativa fuerte con los factores de riesgo (personal, académico, socioeconómico, institucional) asociados a la deserción estudiantil universitaria (p < 0,05, Rho = -,686)
