Black Voices and Perspectives on Portland\u27s Black Lives Matter Protests with Shirley Jackson
In this episode of PDXPLORERS, Professor Shirley Jackson discusses research in which she examines how members of the Black community in the Portland metro region perceived the Black Lives Matter/George Floyd protests that took place during the summer of 2020. Jackson, a sociologist and expert in race, social movements, and gender, is interviewing members of the Black community in the metro region to better understand individual and community sentiments on issues including the government response to the Black Lives Matter protests, participation of whites in BLM protests, and Defund the Police.

Therapists-in-Training Who Experience a Client Suicide: Implications for Supervision
Client suicide is often an extraordinarily painful process for clinicians, especially those still in training. Given their training status, supervisees may look to their graduate programs and supervisors for guidance and support when such an event occurs. This study qualitatively examined the experiences of 13 prelicensure doctoral supervisees regarding their client\u27s suicide. Findings suggest that these supervisees received minimal graduate training about suicide and that support from others, including supervisors, helped them cope with their client\u27s death. Supervisors are advised to normalize and process supervisees\u27 experiences of client suicide. Implications for training and practice are discussed
The experiences of people living with HIV-AIDS with regard to the comprehensive antiretroviral therapy management received from registered nurses at selected public primary heathcare clinics in Nelson Mandela Bay
Currently South Africa has the highest number of persons living with HIV-AIDS (PLWAs) in the world. Focus-group discussions conducted by Moon (2005:3) in the Eastern Cape indicated that people may not want to get tested for HIV or to access antiretroviral therapy (ART) for fear of disclosure of their HIV-positive status and of stigmatization. These findings prompted the researcher to conduct a study in this field. The objectives of this study are to explore and describe the experiences of PLWAs with regard to the comprehensive ART management received from registered nurses at selected public primary healthcare clinics in Nelson Mandela Bay; and to develop guidelines for registered nurses that could facilitate them in rendering appropriate comprehensive ART management. The research study is based on a qualitative, explorative, descriptive, phenomenological and contextual research design. The research population comprised of HIV-positive patients who received treatment at the selected public primary healthcare clinics. Criterion-based, purposive sampling was used to select participants for the interviews. Ten in-depth unstructured interviews were conducted. Data was then transcribed and coded. One central theme identified the fact that PLWAs experienced both positive and negative experiences at the clinics. The main findings of this research included evidence of various forms of stigma experienced by the PLWAs; distrust of the lay health counselors; but also that PLWAs were generally well-treated and satisfied with the service they had received. Broad guidelines for registered nurses was formulated that could facilitate them in rendering appropriate comprehensive ART management. The study concludes with recommendations made with regards to the areas of nursing practice, education and research. Throughout the study the researcher abided by the ethical considerations. The aspects of trustworthiness implemented in this study, included dependability, credibility, transferability and confirmability (Holloway & Wheeler, 2002:354)

An Infrared through Radio Study of the Properties and Evolution of IRDC Clumps
We examine the physical properties and evolutionary stages of a sample of 17
clumps within 8 Infrared Dark Clouds (IRDCs) by combining existing infrared,
millimeter, and radio data with new Bolocam Galactic Plane Survey (BGPS) 1.1 mm
data, VLA radio continuum data, and HHT dense gas (HCO+ and N2H+) spectroscopic
data. We combine literature studies of star formation tracers and dust
temperatures within IRDCs with our search for ultra-compact (UC) HII regions to
discuss a possible evolutionary sequence for IRDC clumps. In addition, we
perform an analysis of mass tracers in IRDCs and find that 8 micron extinction
masses and 1.1 mm Bolocam Galactic Plane Survey (BGPS) masses are complementary
mass tracers in IRDCs except for the most active clumps (notably those
containing UCHII regions), for which both mass tracers suffer biases. We find
that the measured virial masses in IRDC clumps are uniformly higher than the
measured dust continuum masses on the scale of ~1 pc. We use 13CO, HCO+, and
N2H+ to study the molecular gas properties of IRDCs and do not see any evidence
of chemical differentiation between hot and cold clumps on the scale of ~1 pc.
However, both HCO+ and N2H+ are brighter in active clumps, due to an increase
in temperature and/or density. We report the identification of four UCHII
regions embedded within IRDC clumps and find that UCHII regions are associated
with bright (>1 Jy) 24 micron point sources, and that the brightest UCHII
regions are associated with "diffuse red clumps" (an extended enhancement at 8
micron). The broad stages of the discussed evolutionary sequence (from a
quiescent clump to an embedded HII region) are supported by literature dust
temperature estimates; however, no sequential nature can be inferred between
the individual star formation tracers.Comment: 33 pages, 26 figures, 6 tables, accepted for publication in ApJ. Full
