Despite growing evidence of the environmental and public health threats posed by today's intensive animal production, consumers in the west remain largely attached to meat. Cultivated meat offers a way to grow meat directly from cells, circumventing these issues as well as the use of animals altogether. The aim of this study was to assess the overall consumer markets and a range of preferences around cultivated meat in the US and the UK relating to nomenclature, genetic modification, health enhancements, and other features. To this end, we recruited large representative samples to participate in an online survey about cultivated meat, and subsequently analyzed segments (a) in the early majority population (guided by the Diffusion of Innovations Model), (b) by generation, and (c) in the general population. Our findings showed a high level of openness (80%) in both the US and UK populations, with 40% somewhat or moderately likely to try and 40% highly likely to try. Younger generations had the greatest openness: 88% of Gen Z, 85% of Millennials, 77% of Gen X, and 72% of Baby Boomers were at least somewhat open to trying cultivated meat. All segments envisioned cultivated meat to be nearly half of their total meat intake. Findings show that consumers prefer the terms 'cultured' and 'cultivated' over 'cell-based' and 'cell-cultured' for use in a social context and on packages, even though they perceive these terms as less descriptive. The most important on-package label was one indicating government assurances, and participants preferred non-GM products over GM products. We also found that US consumers prefer nutritionally superior meat over nutritionally equivalent meat. We discuss implications for product development, messaging, and understanding the likely adoption path of this food innovation.

Roles for viral infections and aberrant immune responses in driving localized neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration in multiple sclerosis (MS) are the focus of intense research. Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), as a persistent and frequently reactivating virus with major immunogenic influences and a near 100% epidemiological association with MS, is considered to play a leading role in MS pathogenesis, triggering localized inflammation near or within the central nervous system (CNS). This triggering may occur directly via viral products (RNA and protein) and/or indirectly via antigenic mimicry involving B-cells, T-cells and cytokine-activated astrocytes and microglia cells damaging the myelin sheath of neurons. The genetic MS-risk factor HLA-DR2b (DRB1*1501β, DRA1*0101α) may contribute to aberrant EBV antigen-presentation and anti-EBV reactivity but also to mimicry-induced autoimmune responses characteristic of MS. A central role is proposed for inflammatory EBER1, EBV-miRNA and LMP1 containing exosomes secreted by viable reactivating EBV+ B-cells and repetitive release of EBNA1-DNA complexes from apoptotic EBV+ B-cells, forming reactive immune complexes with EBNA1-IgG and complement. This may be accompanied by cytokine- or EBV-induced expression of human endogenous retrovirus-W/-K (HERV-W/-K) elements and possibly by activation of human herpesvirus-6A (HHV-6A) in early-stage CNS lesions, each contributing to an inflammatory cascade causing the relapsing-remitting neuro-inflammatory and/or progressive features characteristic of MS. Elimination of EBV-carrying B-cells by antibody- and EBV-specific T-cell therapy may hold the promise of reducing EBV activity in the CNS, thereby limiting CNS inflammation, MS symptoms and possibly reversing disease. Other approaches targeting HHV-6 and HERV-W and limiting inflammatory kinase-signaling to treat MS are also being tested with promising results. This article presents an overview of the evidence that EBV, HHV-6, and HERV-W may have a pathogenic role in initiating and promoting MS and possible approaches to mitigate development of the disease.

The study was conducted to determine whether there is a relationship between the Coordinated School Health Program (CSHP) and student academic performance. Data were collected from schools and the community for three reports for 50 states and the District of Columbia (DC). The School Health Policies and Programs Survey (SHPPS), the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), and the U.S. Census 2000 Profile were used to study the relationships among three parameters: (a) The intervention called a CSHP: (b) Student achievement; and (c) Rate of poverty in each state. A stepwise regression analysis was conducted, controlling for poverty using state-level data. Components of a CSHP had statistically significant relationships with academic achievement. Students in states with policies promoting students' health demonstrated higher academic scores and higher rates of high school completion.

103 college students took the Geriatric Depression Scale and Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale along with five measures of life satisfaction. The correlation between scores on the first scales was .66. Both depression scales had moderate negative correlations (-.34 to -.71) with each measure of life satisfaction. However, on every measure of life satisfaction, the correlation with scores on the Geriatric Depression Scale was higher than with those on the CES-Depression Scale.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Hookah smoking is a growing young adult phenomenon, particularly among college students. Many users feel that it is safer than other tobacco products, although its health threats are well documented. Little is known about hookah use rates in community colleges that are attended by nearly half of all US college students. This study examined hookah use in a diverse convenience sample of students attending two southern California community colleges. METHODS: In fall 2011, a cross-sectional, in-classroom survey was administered to 1,207 students. A series of fully adjusted multivariate logistic regressions were conducted to explore demographic, other substance use, and attitudinal correlates of lifetime and current hookah use. RESULTS: Lifetime hookah use (56%) was higher than lifetime cigarette use (49%). Gender and personal socioeconomic status were not related to hookah use. Current use (10.8%) was associated with current use of alcohol, cigars, and cigarettes. Compared to African-Americans, Whites were 2.9 times more likely to be current users, and students who perceive hookah to be more socially acceptable were 21 times more likely to currently use. CONCLUSION: Since hookah use rates are high, colleges should offer health education programs to inform incoming students about the health risks of hookah and cessation programs.

This article contends that purely quantitative measures of Hispanic aged mental health have been insufficiently sensitive to cultural factors. It describes the uses and limitations of qualitative methods, especially in-depth interviews and life histories, and suggests that researchers should include the use of psychometric tests in these interviews, in order to improve the interpretations of the data. In this article the Adlerian perspective is developed along with several relevant dimensions for evaluating cases. Finally, seven cases illustrating the diversity of Hispanic elders are presented.

Abstract. Qualitative research methods are essential to provide richness, but they are vulnerable to distortion of data by theory. The quantitative approach is necessary for the precision of hypothesis testing, but, by itself, this method is too critical to be creative. Religious studies should use both methods in alternate phases, with the qualitative approach creating new hypotheses and the quantitative approach critically testing them.

High-quality child care is related to children's positive developmental outcomes. One way to increase quality of care is to provide training to child care providers. This study used assessment-based training to determine if overall quality of care in center-based preschools could be enhanced. Participants were recruited from six center-based child care programs serving preschool-age children and included program administrators, teachers, teacher aides, and enrolled children. Program administrators (N = 6) were assessed with the Program Administration Scale (Talan & Bloom, 2004), classrooms (N = 14) with the Early Childhood Environment Rating Scale Revised (ECERS-R; Harms, Clifford, & Cryer, 2005) and the Early Language and Literacy Classroom Observation—Research Edition (ELLCO; Smith & Dickinson, 2002), teachers (N = 24) with the Classroom Assessment Scoring System (CLASS; Pianta, La Paro, & Hamre, 2007), and children (N = 135) with an author-created measurement designed to assess typical skills across five child domains. Assessments were administered at two time points and individualized targeted training was provided in between. Results demonstrated that after 7 months of intervention, the largest effect sizes were seen at the program administration and classroom levels and that smaller effect sizes were found at the teacher and child levels.

For 69 community college students, scores on the Hypochondriasis Scale correlated .44 with those on the UCLA Loneliness Scale, and .53 with problems in social functioning. These data are consistent with DSM-III--R listings of poor coping and social skills for hypochondriacal personality.

69 community college students reported that they would be least likely to tell the truth on an anonymous questionnaire about topics such as frequency of sexual activity and lifetime number of sexual partners.

Learning Computer Science through the Lens of Culture and Society is an outreach project that seeks to increase the participation of Hispanic/Latino(a) high school students in computer science. This project provided a one-week summer workshop that introduced high school students to computer science through hands-on activities involving computational thinking, Alice 3D animation, Android app development, and soft skills. Various activities of the workshop shared the theme of culture and society. This paper describes the motivations behind our project, the design of our workshop, and our evaluation results.

The increasing demand of constituents to conduct analyses in order to help inform the decision-making process has led to the need for Institutional Research (IR) guidelines for community college educators. One method of maintaining the quality of research conducted by IR staff is to include professional development about ethics. This article reviews ethical issues that IR staff at community colleges are most likely to encounter in their work with human participants. The ethical issues examined include the misrepresentation of work, balancing organizational demands and ethics, conflict of interest, confidentiality, Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) and informed consent, and deceptive statements. The review concludes with recommendations for future research.

Purpose This study was designed to provide foundational information concerning the perceptions of California community college chancellors and presidents in multi-college districts, regarding the presidents' decision-making role, at both the college and districtwide levels. Factors pertaining to the chancellors and presidents' professional background, and to district characteristics were reviewed for possible relationships to perceptual congruities and differences. Methodology Survey research methodology provided the basis for the design of the study. Eleven district chancellors and 28 presidents responded to a 24 item, two level Likert-type instrument and a professional background questionnaire. Demographic information on each of the participating districts was obtained and used in the analysis. Standard t-tests and chi-square analysis were used to determine if there were differences in responses of chancellors and presidents overall, by functional category and for each item at the college and districtwide levels of decision-making. The professional background questionnaire and district profile provided anecdotal information with which to compare the statistical findings. Findings and Conclusions Some of the major findings and conclusions of the study were as follows: 1. Chancellors and presidents in California multi-college districts agreed that presidents have a great deal of decision-making autonomy at their own colleges. 2. The presidents' decision-making involvement at the district level is ambiguous and in need of clarification. 3. Some relationship can be drawn between the professional background of the chancellors and presidents and the congruence and discrepancies of their perceptions. 4. District size, age, central office location, and administrative reporting relationships do not appear to be related to perceptual differences. Recommendations A major recommendation of this study is that the presidents' decision-making role at the district level be formalized in their position descriptions. In addition, a similar study should be undertaken in large urban multi-college districts. Some attention should be given to factors such as leadership style, organizational culture, collective bargaining, and the politicizing of districts that might influence the presidents' decision-making role.

Sport plays an integral role in society, but competitive sporting events would not exist without sport officials. Research has shown a decrease in the number of qualified sport officials, highlighting the need for evidence-based recruitment and retention strategies. Extant literature mostly focuses on men sport officials, with little understanding of how to recruit and retain women sport officials. Using a secondary analysis, the purpose of this research was to explore women sport officials’ perspectives on recruiting and retaining other women sport officials. Participants ( N = 495) responded to the question, “How can we attract more women to officiating?” A content analysis of written responses yielded four themes: (a) Promoting Officiating to Women, (b) Greater Inclusion and Respect for Women Officials, (c) Educational and Mentoring Opportunities for Women Officials, and (d) Offering Incentives and Additional Support for Women Officials. These results highlight the importance of implementing specific recruitment strategies suggested by participating women officials to help increase and promote women officiating in sport.
