Building Collaborative Relationships Through an ACS Grant-funded Project
No full text“Pathway to Diversity: Uncovering Our Collections” is a collaborative project between Centre College, Furman University, Rollins College, and Washington and Lee University, funded by the Associated Colleges of the South. The project seeks to build a shared online digital archive relating to the history of desegregation at these colleges. Centre College librarians Carrie Frey and Beth Morgan will discuss the strengths and challenges of this type of collaborative work, as well as the specifics of our collaborative process which has included collaborating not only within our individual institutions to incorporate classroom instruction and student research, but also collaboration across campuses
From decision to incision: Ideologies of gender in surgical cancer care
Get PDFIn this paper, I draw on the narratives of 57 individuals whose gender identities and decisions about their bodies trouble the medical protocols for breast and gynecological cancer care. I focus here on the decision-making process for three groups of elective surgeries: hysterectomy, prophylactic bilateral and contralateral mastectomy, and breast reconstruction. These elective surgeries illustrate places in medical interactions where patients and providers rely on frames of gender to determine whether a given surgery is an appropriate option for cancer prevention or care. These cases also explain how patient experiences of medical interactions are shaped by and thus reproduce ideologies of gender through the bodies of patients. While clinical practice and medical decisions are supposedly determined through the principles of evidence-based medicine and patient-centered care, I show that ideas about gender can actually supersede both medical evidence and patient desires for their bodies in the care of gynecological and breast cancers

Clinical Practice with Children and Adolescents Involved in Bullying and Cyberbullying: Gleaning Guidelines from the Literature
Get PDFBullying and cyberbullying have received unprecedented international scholarly attention over the last three decades, including increasingly sophisticated descriptive models, measures of associated harm, and studies of whole-school intervention programs. Despite an abundance of articles related to bullying and cyberbullying, there has been relatively little attention to clinical practice with children and adolescents involved in bullying and cyberbullying. The purpose of this article is to provide a comprehensive review of peer-reviewed academic journal articles published between January 1990 and June 2018 pertaining to individual and group psychotherapy with clients involved in bullying and cyberbullying. Based on this review, we identify four guidelines for clinical practice related to bullying and cyberbullying with children and adolescents
A Break In Communication: The Synthesis, Characterization, DNA Binding and Photocleavage of a Novel Ruthenium Polypyridyl Complex Containing an Electronically Isolated Pyrene Group
Get PDFA novel complex [Ru(bpy)2bpy-py]2+ (where bpy= 2,2’-bipyridine and bpy-py=N-(6-(4-(pyren-1-yl) butanamido) hexyl)-[2,2\u27-bipyridine]-5-carboxamide))) has been synthesized. The effect of electronically isolating the pyrene from the metal core on the complex’s ability to bind to and photocleave DNA was studied. Other molecules such as 1-pyreneacetic acid and [Ru(bpy)2dep]2+ (where dep= N-(6-aminohexyl)-[2,2\u27-bipyridine]-5-carboxamide), which share structural similarities to [Ru(bpy)2bpy-py]2+, were also studied to help determine which areas of the [Ru(bpy)2bpy-py]2+ molecule may be responsible for interacting with DNA. Spectroscopic experiments including isothermal and competitive binding titrations in addition to the hydrodynamic technique of viscometry were used to show that [Ru(bpy)2bpy-py]2+ binds to DNA with a binding constant of 8 x 105 and 1x106 M-1 (binding constants calculated using isothermal and competitive binding experiments, respectively). Agarose gel electrophoresis, used to assess photocleavage, gave ambiguous results. Additional fluorometric experiments revealed that a transfer of energy from the pyrene portion of the complex to the ruthenium core may be occurring
