The Effectiveness of Occupational Therapy Interventions for Students with Mental Illness Transitioning to Higher Education: A Systematic Review
Objective: To examine the available evidence for interventions within the scope of occupational therapy for students with mental illness during the transition process to postsecondary education. Method: This systematic review yielded seven articles including two systematic reviews, three one group pretest/posttest design, one naturalistic pre/posttest design, and one scoping review related to the transition process to post secondary education.
Results: Occupation-based interventions emphasized the occupation of education instead of focusing on co-occurring occupations a student may frequently participate in when enrolled in postsecondary education. Programs emphasized environmental approaches including using the students\u27 past experiences, building self-advocacy skills, accessing supportive education services, and learning how to access environmental supports, such as welfare and food stamps. Performance skills were addressed to prepare students for academic participation and included: motor, process, social interaction skills, skills related to writing, reading, public speaking, social participation, and stress management. Performance patterns included the roles and routines of the student. Findings have limited generalizability due to lower level research designs and limited number of studies.
Conclusions: Higher-level research designs need to be completed to develop best practices in transition services, to further expand occupational therapy\u27s role in helping students with any mental illness transition to postsecondary education

Conflicted scientists: the âshared poolâ dilemma of scientific advisory committees
Science advisors play a critical role in government policy making, yet these advisors are often equally attractive to regulated industry. Despite efforts to manage conflicts of interest among science advisors, allegations of conflict frequently plague advisory committee deliberations or outcomes. This article examines what we term the âshared poolâ dilemma using data collected from 92 members of 11 US Food and Drug Administration advisory committees. The results suggested science advisors were generally positive about their experiences on advisory committees and viewed the committee process as impartial. Written comments suggested that advisors linked the neutrality of the process to the success of the FDAâs conflict-of-interest procedures. Even so, the advisors acknowledged the challenges associated with recruiting disinterested and qualified scientists to serve on advisory committees, reflecting the shared pool dilemma. Many advisors seemed more troubled about advisors participating when they lacked expertise than when they had minor conflicts of interest

Trace-element and Mineralogical Analysis of Field Clays, Valley of Oaxaca, Mexico, as a Basis for Archaeological Ceramic Provenance Determination
This dataset contains trace-element data, descriptive information, and photographs for 328 field clays sampled in the Valley of Oaxaca, Mexico; mineralogical data are presented for a subset of the samples. The clay samples were generated as part of a valley-wide sampling strategy designed to capture spatial variation in clay composition and to establish a basis for fine-grained ceramic provenance determination within the valley (Minc and Sherman 2011). Given the size of the data set, the data are organized by field season: 2007 and 2012. In addition, we include data from a more intensive survey conducted around the site of Yaasuchi (YCS), conducted as part of Pinkâs (2014) MA thesis research.
The goal of these surveys was to characterize regional trends in clay composition throughout the valley, as these reflect differences in parent material, as a basis for determining the provenance of archaeological ceramics. Not all clays sampled are suitable potting clays; however, their chemistry and mineralogy is generally indicative of potting clay composition for a given locale.
Each clay is given a unique lab identification number (INAA ID) that may be used to relate the trace-element data with locational information and paste photos included in this dataset.
The data consist of five parts
On the Biological Foundations of Language: Recent Advances in Language Acquisition, Deterioration, and Neuroscience Begin to Converge
In this paper, experimental results on the study of language loss in pro- dromal Alzheimerâs disease (AD) in the elderly are linked to experimen- tal results from the study of language acquisition in the child, via a tran- sitional stage of Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI). Recent brain imag- ing results from a pilot study comparing prodromal AD and normal ag- ing are reported. Both, behavioral results and their underlying neural underpinnings, identify the source of language deficits in MCI as break- down in syntaxâsemantics integration. These results are linked to inde- pendent discoveries regarding the ontogeny of language in the child and their neural foundations. It is suggested that these convergent results ad- vance our understanding of the true nature of maturational processes in language, allowing us to reconsider a âregression hypothesisâ (e.g., Ribot 1881), wherein later acquisition predicts earliest dissolution
The KRESCENT Program (2005-2015) : an evaluation of the state of Kidney Research Training in Canada
Background: The Kidney Research Scientist Core Education and National Training (KRESCENT) Program was launched
in 2005 to enhance kidney research capacity in Canada and foster knowledge translation across the 4 themes of health
research.
Objective: To evaluate the impact of KRESCENT on its major objectives and on the careers of trainees after its first 10
years.
Methods: An online survey of trainees (n = 53) who had completed or were enrolled in KRESCENT was conducted in
2015. Information was also obtained from curriculum vitae (CVs). A bibliometric analysis assessed scientific productivity,
collaboration, and impact in comparison with unsuccessful applicants to KRESCENT over the same period. The analysis
included a comparison of Canadian with international kidney research metrics from 2000 to 2014.
Results: Thirty-nine KRESCENT trainees completed the survey (74%), and 44 trainees (83%) submitted CVs. KRESCENT
trainees had a high success rate at obtaining grant funding from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR; 79%),
and 76% of Post-Doctoral Fellows received academic appointments at the Assistant Professor level within 8 months of
completing training. The majority of trainees reported that KRESCENT had contributed significantly to their success in
securing CIHR funding (90%), and to the creation of knowledge (93%) and development of new methodologies (50%).
Bibliometric analysis revealed a small but steady decline in total international kidney research output from 2000 to 2014, as
a percentage of all health research, although overall impact of kidney research in Canada increased from 2000-2005 to 2009-
2014 compared with other countries. KRESCENT trainees demonstrated increased productivity, multiauthored papers,
impact, and international collaborations after their training, compared with nonfunded applicants.
Conclusions: The KRESCENT Program has fostered kidney research career development and contributed to increased
capacity, productivity, and collaboration. To further enhance knowledge creation and translation in kidney research in
Canada, programs such as KRESCENT should be sustained via long-term funding partnerships.Mise en contexte: Le programme KRESCENT (Kidney Research Scientist Core Education and National Training) a été
lancé en 2005 pour augmenter la capacité de la recherche sur les maladies du rein à travers le Canada, et pour encourager
la transmission des connaissances au sein des quatre axes de recherche en santé.
Objectifs de lâĂ©tude: Cette Ă©tude avait pour but dâĂ©valuer les rĂ©percussions du programme KRESCENT sur ses principaux
objectifs ainsi que des retombées sur la carriÚre des stagiaires participants, dix ans aprÚs sa création.
Méthodologie: Un sondage en ligne a été mené en 2015 auprÚs des stagiaires (n = 53) ayant été admis ou ayant complété
le programme KRESCENT. Des renseignements ont également été obtenus par la consultation de curriculum vitae (CV).
Une analyse bibliométrique a évalué la productivité scientifique et la collaboration des participants ainsi que les répercussions
de leur participation à KRESCENT sur leur carriÚre. Les données de cette analyse ont été comparées à celles des candidats
nâayant pas Ă©tĂ© retenus au cours de la mĂȘme pĂ©riode. Lâanalyse comprenait Ă©galement une comparaison des donnĂ©es
canadiennes avec celles obtenues en recherche sur les maladies du rein ailleurs dans le monde
