Introduction to Regression Models for Panel Data Analysis
No full textPatricia McManus is a professor of Sociology at Indiana University. Her research agenda addresses social mobility, family transitions and material well-being in the U.S. and Europe.This workshop provides an introduction to the analysis of panel data (sometimes called cross-section time-series data) using Stata statistical software. The focus is on the linear error components model. We cover what differentiates panel data from other longitudinal data, why use panel analysis techniques and how to use Stata’s “xt” suite of commands to facilitate data exploration and analysis. The workshop introduces linear fixed effects models (in three flavors), random effects models, and Allison’s (2009) hybrid model. Participants may have the opportunity to follow along using a small example dataset
Identification and Characterization of Unknown Gene Function in Saccharomyces Cerevisiae
No full text2025 winner of the "Chancellor's Award for Achievement for a Poster Presentation"This project aims to characterize the function of the unannotated gene YPL150W in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Although the yeast genome is fully sequenced, approximately 30% of its genes lack functional annotation. YPL150W, located on chromosome XVI, is conserved in organisms such as Homo sapiens, Danio rerio, and Mus musculus, suggesting a conserved biological role.
Bioinformatic analysis using the NCBI Conserved Domain Database reveals significant sequence similarity between YPL150W and known serine/threonine kinases, indicating potential enzymatic activity involving phosphorylation of hydroxyl-containing residues. Preliminary evidence suggests YPL150W encodes a nonspecific serine/threonine kinase, though experimental validation is required.
Characterizing YPL150W will advance our understanding of conserved eukaryotic signaling pathways and may have implications for both basic biology and industrial applications

Food as Medicine: Cooking for Health
Get PDFThe Food as Medicine: Cooking for Health program is bringing local food and valuable resources to residents of the Indiana Uplands as a way to support better health.
The program provides cooking lessons, physical activity events, and meal kits, with many ingredients sourced directly from the communities, to residents who qualify through programs such as SNAP, WIC, and other local services. Participants may also receive supplies that support meal preparation, such as oil, spices, knives, cutting boards, pots, and peelers.
Launched by Dr. Julia Valliant of Indiana University Food and Agrarian Systems and The Ostrom Workshop in collaboration with the IU Center for Rural Engagement, this initiative harnesses a food-as-medicine approach to strengthen local food systems and increase health and well-being across the Indiana Uplands region.
Local and regional partners spanning the food, health, and education sectors have collaborated to launch this program, including: Linton Farmers’ Market, Purdue Extension, Greene County Health Department, Greene County WIC, Greene County General Hospital, Greene County Health Clinic, Pregnancy Choices, RSVP Volunteer Center, Produce Patch, Indiana Rural Health Association Healthy Start Communities that C.A.R.E., Daviess Community Hospital, Schneck Medical Center, Community Health Center of Jackson County, New Hope Services Inc., Healthy Families Jackson County, VanAntwerp’s Farm Market, Plumer & Bowers Farmstead, Gleaners Food Bank, Lost River Market and Deli, Lincoln Hills Development Corporation, Healthy Families, Hoosier Uplands, and Mitchell Schools

Exploring inclusivity: A diversity audit of life science library exhibits
No full textExhibits provide an opportunity to connect with our patrons and provide a glimpse into the unique topics, subjects, and services that science libraries have to offer. They are also opportunities to develop strategies that integrate diversity into our work, increase our impact, and maintain our relevance. Funk ACES Library's (Funk) exhibit cases display materials related to Funk subject areas, university events, or campus groups with display materials drawn from the library's extensive collection for agricultural, consumer and environmental sciences, biology, city planning and landscape architecture, and agricultural communications at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. With the intention to foster diversity through their exhibits, the research team reflects on past work to identify gaps in representation that can address inclusivity and a sense of belonging within an academic community. This manuscript discusses strategies and examines findings from an assessment of physical materials exhibited by Funk over the past 5 years. Applying methods used to audit print collections, the research team discusses their methodology to assess the diverse representation of authors and subjects, their tools used to document findings, and how the resulting information will be used
GOVERNANCE FOR CULTURALLY RESPONSIVE SCHOOLING IN INDIGENOUS AND ETHNIC COMMUNITIES: THE CASE OF THE AFRO-COLOMBIAN STUDIES PROGRAM AND THE RAIZAL PEOPLE
Get PDFThesis (Ph.D.) - Indiana University, Education Leadership and Policy Studies Department, 2025This study examines the implementation of the Afro-Colombian Studies Program (CEA) on San Andrés Island, focusing on how local stakeholders—including teachers, school administrators, and people leaders—perceive and engage with the policy in the context of the Raizal people's distinct cultural, historical, and socio-political circumstances. Drawing on the Culturally Responsive Schooling and Leadership (CRS/L) framework and Indigenous governance principles, the research employs a bottom-up approach, specifically backward mapping, to collect data from those directly involved in the policy’s execution. The findings highlight several key challenges in the policy’s implementation, including significant disparities between public and private schools in leadership, resource availability, and policy interpretation. Additionally, gaps in teacher training and ongoing intergroup conflict pose substantial barriers to effective engagement with the policy’s objectives.
The study argues that a more effective implementation of the CEA requires a shift toward a collaborative, networked governance model that includes local communities and integrates Indigenous knowledge into the decision-making process. The research further emphasizes the need for clearer guidelines, improved communication, and the integration of culturally responsive teaching practices, as well as the development of peacebuilding education as a complementary component of CRS/L, tailored to the island's specific cultural context. Finally, the study offers practical recommendations for enhancing the CEA’s effectiveness and contributes to the broader academic discourse on the development and implementation of educational policies for culturally diverse and historically marginalized communities through Culturally Responsive policie
