Cuentan las pibas: Narrativas infanto-juveniles de la generación posdictadura en Argentina
No full textDesde una intimidad cómplice que invita a la audiencia adulta a inmiscuirse en los espacios (auto)biográficos de la cotidianidad íntima y pública, Cuentan las pibas indaga la poética de contar el recuerdo a través de la mirada y la voz infanto-juvenil feminista. Disputando relatos consensuales y denunciando sus códigos patriarcales y adultocentristas, este libro explora producciones culturales llevadas a cabo por la generación de pibas que crecieron en los años del golpe y articularon sus textos en la posdictadura argentina. Agitando las aguas y promoviendo el debate estético y político, como un caleidoscopio auditivo que se rehúsa a proyectar un coro de voces armónicas, las narrativas de las pibas de la posdictadura cuentan ejercicios incesantes que propagan gritos corales de Memoria, Verdad y Justicia.https://digitalcommons.fairfield.edu/modernlanguagesandliterature-books/1028/thumbnail.jp
Collection on Fairfield University Buildings & Physical Plant
Get PDFThis collection combines several different sets of documents pertaining to the construction, renovation, decoration, or furnishing of Fairfield’s campus buildings or other physical facilities. Overall, the contents include building specifications; blueprints and other technical drawings; vendor catalogs and brochures; master planning documents; internal planning and committee records; correspondence with architects, engineers, vendors, artists, zoning authorities, religious authorities, and potential donors; donor prospectuses; programs from dedication events; and notes from subsequent research on certain campus buildings. Full or partial buildings specifications are provided for Berchmans Hall, Xavier Hall, Loyola Hall, Canisius Hall, Gonzaga Hall, Regis Hall, the Campus Center, Nyselius Library, and the Bannow Science Center. The collection also includes substantial information about the decorative elements selected for the University’s original chapels, in McAuliffe and Bellarmine Halls; the planning process for Nyselius Library; and the resolution of a zoning controversy that delayed the construction of Jogues Hall.https://digitalcommons.fairfield.edu/findingaids/1022/thumbnail.jp

Permeation of gabapentin through LAT1: A comparative study between graphene and cell membrane
No full textLAT1 (SLC7A5) is a membrane transporter that permits the uptake of essential amino acids, metabolites, and drugs into the cell, and is found to be overexpressed in a broad range of cancers and neurological disorders. It has been hypothesized that LAT1 transporters tend to share a general mechanism of action—alternative access transport. Nevertheless, little information is available on the real-time permeability of metabolites and drugs through LAT1 in the presence of graphene or the endothelial cell membrane. This work analyzed the interactions at the interface of LAT1 and a neurological drug, gabapentin, comparing graphene and membrane as substrates for LAT1. RMSD analysis on the molecular dynamics trajectories indicated that both graphene and membrane systems effectively allowed LAT1 to adsorb and stabilize gabapentin. However, from energetics, secondary structure analysis, and interfacial water molecules, graphene is found to be more suitable to act as a scaffold for in vitro analysis of LAT1
Impact of participation as a peer change agent on peer change agents themselves: a quantitative study of a peer-led, social media-based PrEP promotion intervention
No full textDespite the adoption of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) as a crucial HIV intervention, uptake remains suboptimal among men who have sex with men, a sexual minority group, due to barriers like cost and stigma. Peer change agents (PCAs) disseminate PrEP information within their social networks. This study explores the reciprocal effects of an online community-based participatory intervention on PCAs, focusing on their transformed PrEP uptake perceptions—leadership efficacy, social network dynamics, attitudes, perceived benefits and barriers and self-efficacy. Leveraging insights from the PrEP Chicago Study, our research addresses a key gap in community-based participatory interventions for PrEP uptake: the transformative experiences and perception shifts of PCAs involved in these interventions. We engaged 20 men who have sex with men, aged 18–45, as PCAs in a one-group pretest–posttest design intervention, which disseminated PrEP communications within their preferred online networks. We utilized the PrEP Chicago Study’s 45 Likert items, tailored to reveal the PCAs’ transformative potential. Data on PrEP uptake perceptions, sociodemographics and social media use were captured and analyzed using the Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed-rank test, a nonparametric method. PCAs demonstrated significant changes in their PrEP uptake perceptions, including leadership capacity, social network dynamics, attitudes toward PrEP, perceived benefits, barriers and self-efficacy. Our intervention highlights the reciprocal transformation PCAs undergo when disseminating PrEP information. This study adds a new dimension to community-based PrEP interventions and underscores the need for continued refinement of peer-led strategies to optimize the transformative potential of PCAs
