Dismantling slavery: gender and identity in the autobiographies of Frederick Douglass and Harriet Jacobs, 2005
No full textAfrican-American slave autobiographies, commonly known as slave narratives, reflect the soul and spirit of an oppressed people. This study analyzes two widely known slave autobiographies of the nineteenth century: Frederick Douglass's Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave, Written by Himself (1845) and Harriet Ann Jacobs's Incidents in the Life ofa Slave Girl. Written by Herself (1861). This study argues that through writing their autobiographies as freed persons, these two narrators navigate through and overcome racist and sexist constructions of their genders in order to create new and empowered identities. As a methodology, this thesis uses an intersectional paradigm of race, gender, class and sexuality to reveal the close connection between gender and identity that underscores the development of a new and empowered selfhood. From this study, this thesis derives three main conclusions. First, race complicates gender identities through the suppression of the enslaved person's humanity. Second, gender complicates racial identities through the reduction of black manhood and womanhood as human chattel. Finally, Douglass and Jacobs achieve and assert their newly created personal identities through the creation of rhetorical devices and creative survival strategies. As a result, their autobiographies challenge the traditional mode and content of American autobiography
The significance of Magnus L. Robinson and the national leader to the black community, 1880-1891, 1981
No full textIn this paper the writer has undertaken the task of bringing to the forefront the contributions of Magnus L. Robinson and his paper, The National Leader, to the Black community during the period of 1880 to 1891. A large part of the paper is based upon data obtained from The National Leader and letters of Frederick Douglass and his son, Frederick Douglass, Jr., to Robinson. Magnus L. Robinson was a black Republican who lived during the period termed by some historians as the "Nadir." He and his paper were situated in the Alexandria, Virginia and Washington, D. C. area. Because of his allegiance to the Republican party, he was appointed to many political offices. This study shows how Robinson used these political appointments to elevate and advance the conditions of Blacks. Another phase of the study analyzes the newspaper, The National Leader. It will show how this black Republican newspaper kept members of the Black community aware and abreast of current day issues that directly or indirectly affected their lives. Some of these issues were lynchings, disfranchisement, education, health and women suffrage. Finally, this study contends that Magnus L. Robinson and his paper, The National Leader, have both been neglected in the study of Afro- American History; and that they deserve recognition along with other Black Americans who devoted their lives to the advancement of the Black race
Lipid class and glycogen content of the lugworm Abarenicola pacifica in relation to age, growth rate and reproductive condition
No full textWe measured the levels of lipid classes (wax esters, triacylglycerides, free fatty acids, sterols, phospholipids) and levels of glycogen in a population of Abarenicola pacifica over a one-year period beginning shortly after recruitment. Glycogen and lipid contents were unrelated to growth rates as estimated by changes in average size of individuals in the cohort. There was no indication of seasonality in levels of any component, consistent with the hypothesis of Slobodkin and Richman that animals living in environments where food supplies are likely to be stable, such as subsurface deposit-feeders like A. pacifica, do not accumulate energy reserves. Instead, glycogen content increased gradually and most lipid classes decreased gradually over time. A notable exception was the triacylglyceride content, which showed a large increase associated with the formation of eggs. Triacylglyceride levels in older A. pacifica and in two other species of deposit-feeding polychaetes showed similar trends. Measurement of triacylglyceride levels may provide an additional objective method, supplementing egg counts and egg size, of quantifying reproductive effort in deposit-feeders.Peer reviewedPosted with permission from Springer Nature
Data_Sheet_1_Complementary and Alternative Medicine for Substance Use Disorders: A Scientometric Analysis and Visualization of Its Use Between 2001 and 2020.docx
No full textBackground: This study aimed to identify frontiers for further studies via brief understanding in complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) for substance use disorders (SUDs).Materials and Methods: Publications on the use of CAM for treating SUDs were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection from 2001 to 2020 on July 12, 2020, and visualized by CiteSpace V.Results: A total of 3,807 publications were obtained. The USA, China, and England were the leading research centers. However, India and Pakistan have recently focused on assessing CAM for the treatment of SUDs. Frederick L Altice was found to be the most productive author. Addiction ranked first among the frequently cited journals, which exceeded 1,000. The most common CAM therapies were acupuncture and CAM psychotherapies, such as mindfulness meditation.Conclusion: CAM is gaining attention globally for treating SUDs. CAM psychotherapy and acupuncture are hotspots and deserve further study. Researchers should strengthen peer cooperation in this field.</p

No full textThe World Health Organization (WHO) recommends tuberculosis preventive treatment (TPT) in people with HIV (PWH), yet implementation remains poor, especially in rural communities. We examined factors influencing TPT initiation in PWH on antiretroviral therapy (ART) in rural South Africa using the Promoting Action on Research Implementation in Health Services (PARiHS) framework to identify contextual factors and facilitation strategies to successfully implement TPT. Patient and clinical factors were extracted from medical records at two primary healthcare clinics (PHCs). Among 455 TPT eligible indivdiuals, only 263 (57.8%) initiated TPT. Patient-level characteristics (older age and symptoms of fever or weight loss) were significantly associated with TPT initiation in bivariate analysis, but PHC was the only independent correlate of TPT initiation (aOR: 2.24; 95% CI: 1.49-3.38). Clinic-level factors are crucial targets for implementing TPT to reduce the burden of HIV-associated TB. Gaps in knowledge of HCW, staff shortages, and non-integrated HIV/TB services were identified barriers to TPT implementation. Evidence-based strategies for facilitating TPT implementation that might be under-prioritized include ongoing reprioritization, expanding training for primary care providers, and quality improvement strategies (organisational changes, multidisciplinary teams, and monitoring and feedback). Addressing contextual barriers through these facilitation strategies may improve future TPT implementation in this setting.K23 AI089260/AI/NIAID NIH HHSUnited States/U01 GH000524/GH/CGH CDC HHSUnited States/UL1 TR001863/TR/NCATS NIH HHSUnited States

Drug Use, HIV, and the High-Risk Environment of Prisons
No full textPrisons often concentrate people with or at risk for HIV within them and, due to the high-risk environment within prison, further amplify disease. Suboptimal access to evidence-based HIV prevention and treatment within prisons, including opioid agonist therapies with methadone or buprenorphine, antiretroviral therapy, and needle/syringe programs, results in worsening of disease during incarceration. Effective transitional programs that address continuity of prevention and treatment of HIV and substance use disorders, along with other co-morbid conditions, are crucial to reduce the harms from incarceration. Such programs not only must provide access to these services within prison but also must ensure that the services are continued after release. This chapter reviews how prisons contribute to negative health consequences related to HIV and addiction, provides examples of settings where policies and services greatly influence the high-risk prison setting, and offers a number of strategies to improve HIV detection, treatment, and prevention.</p
