Using Curriculum Mapping as a Tool to Align the Information Literacy and Evidence-Based Research Learning Outcomes in Nursing Curriculum
Get PDFThis research investigated how to use curriculum mapping as a curriculum-integration tool to identify the components of information literacy (IL) and evidence-based practice (EBP) in the nursing curriculum for the future systematic incorporation of information literacy components in teaching EBP. The primary objective is to strengthen information literacy and evidence-based research competency. The ACRL information literacy framework in Higher Education, Information Literacy Competency Standards for Nursing, EBP Competencies, and the EBP research model were used to provide structure to create a map and crosswalk of information literacy and EBP student learning outcomes. We obtained 59 copies of the nursing undergraduate and graduate course syllabi to perform content analysis for each course. Content analysis was performed on each syllabus to identify existing or potential student learning outcomes (SLO) and assignments related to EBP and IL. The curriculum map can offer fully embedded librarian–faculty partnership opportunities to evaluate courses for IL and EBP learning outcomes together. It can also help to provide an opportunity to explore valid and reliable assessment tools to measure student IL competencies in the future

The Owl House: Queerness and Witchcraft in Modern Media
Get PDFThe Owl House is a groundbreaking television series on Disney Channel created by Dana Terrace. The show follows Luz, a young human, as she makes a new home for herself in a magical realm called the Boiling Isles. (Vorrasi-Banis 102). Within the series, there are many queer elements, in terms of literal LGBTQ+ representation as well as in a more expansive and critical sense. The Owl House is unique because of its willingness to break and queer a multitude of social conventions. This paper examines the evolution of the witch as both figure and trope of patriarchal resistance as well as how The Owl House provides a modern version of witchcraft that practically and symbolically rejects traditional gender roles and happiness scripts that arise from normativity. Specifically, it will investigate how The Owl House queers witchcraft as well as how it queers characters, gender, capitalism, and family to create a trailblazing critique of normativity
Evaluation of the hydrophobic clefts of perilipins 3 and 5
No full textObesity, type II diabetes mellitus, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease are all associated with dysfunction of lipid metabolism – the synthesis, storage, and breakdown of lipids. Fats are stored as neutral lipids in the cell and are contained in lipid storage droplets coated with at least one member of the perilipin family of proteins, essential regulators of lipase function. Previous work by Hickenbottom et al. has shown that the carboxy terminus of perilipin 3 folds into a boot-like structure consisting of a four-helix bundle capped by a mixed α-β domain. A hydrophobic cleft of unknown function is found at the interface of these two domains. The genomic organization, nucleotide sequence, and amino acid sequence of perilipins 3 and 5 are highly conserved, particularly in the region that contains this hydrophobic cleft. Threading the sequence of perilipin 5 onto perilipin 3 using RAPTOR X produces a similar structure that also shows conservation of the pocket of interest. Homology modeling with SWISS-MODEL and use of AlphaFold confirm this as well. The conservation of this cleft suggests that it may have important biological functions. To study interactions of the hydrophobic pocket, models of the proteins were docked in silico to a series of small organic biological molecules using the GOLD software package from Cambridge Crystallographic Database. Mono and bicyclic systems yielded CHEMPLP scores ranging from approximately 25 to 45. Further, a series of fatty acids with varying carbon chain lengths and degrees of unsaturation were docked and yielded high scores ranging from approximately 40 to 82. Increasing CHEMPLP scores correlated with an increase in carbon chain length, and a slight correlation is seen with increasing degrees of unsaturation as well. The highest scores produced in the modeled structure of perilipin 5 were obtained by docking a di- and triglyceride. Docking results were visualized using the molecular visualization software HERMES. The increasing CHEMPLP scores for the molecules examined, and their fits in the pocket, indicate that a hydrophobic metabolite may bind to this pocket, potentially impacting the biological function of this class of proteins. This work may provide a means for the development of small molecules which could be used as possible pharmacological interventions for the treatment of lipid storage disorders
