Heather and Ryan transcript
No full textHeather and Ryan are a couple, both participating in drug court. They each give their brief histories. Heather discusses her two older children being placed in foster care at the time of their arrest, and her decision to have them adopted. They each talk about the benefits and challenges they faced in their recoveries, and as participants in drug court. The talk about the difficulties they had in the early phases with non-association order, including incarcerations and Ryan not being allowed to attend the birth of their daughter. They are currently both in Phase 4

Validation of the Social Satisfaction Questionnaire for outcome evaluation in substance use disorders
No full textAims and method: To develop a scale to measure social satisfaction in people with substance use disorders and to test its psychometric properties. The rationale is that social satisfaction is more universal and relevant to treatment planning than assessing social problems. The new Social Satisfaction Questionnaire (SSQ) was derived from an existing social problems questionnaire and validation was undertaken on two large clinic populations. Results: An eight-item SSQ was tested and found to have good psychometric properties in terms of test-retest reliability, internal consistency, distribution of responses and concurrent validity. Clinical implications: The SSQ is suitable for use as the social domain element of an outcome measures package
The Times, They Are Changing
No full textIn 2015, Rutgers became only the second accredited law school in the United States to select the open-source ILS, Koha. The merger of two unique catalogs at Rutgers Law School has presented unique challenges with respect to migration mapping, data recall for large records, and relevancy ranking, all of which affect search results and usability of the OPAC. System migrations always result in some data being lost or incorrectly transferred. The hope is to minimize just how much data is compromised while fixing errors that might not have come to light but for the migration.Peer reviewe
Heather McHugh, 4th Annual ODU Literary Festival
No full textThe author of Dangers, published in 1978 in Houghton Mifflin\u27s New Poetry Series, and A World of Difference, also a Houghton Mifflin publication (1981), Heather McHugh is a rare poet, known for her formal elegance, her piercing wit, and her supple use of rhyme and rhythm. The Denver Quarterly remarked on her interest in seeing doubly and double-talking and praised her passionate intelligence and affection for the tongue\u27s intimate intricacies. McHugh\u27s Thursday evening reading will conclude the 1981 Literary Festival. McHugh grew up in Williamsburg and now teaches at the State University of New York at Binghamton. She is a member of the board of directors of the Associated Writing Programs
Ep. #121 - Heather Paxson
No full textThis recording and transcript form part of a collection of podcasts conducted by the Cultures of Energy at Rice University. Cultures of Energy brings writers, artists and scholars together to talk, think and feel their way into the Anthropocene. We cover serious issues like climate change, species extinction and energy transition. But we also try to confront seemingly huge and insurmountable problems with insight, creativity and laughter.Dominic and Cymene plug Cultures of Energy 7—this year’s energy humanities symposium at Rice which begins today, details at culturesofenergy.org—and then they turn to cheese, why it’s funny, how it can be applied to cats, “cheddaring,” and much more. Is there an anthropologist who knows more about cheese than anyone? Yes of course there is, it’s MIT’s Heather Paxson, author of the award-winning The Life of Cheese: Crafting Food and Value in America (U California Press, 2012). She joins us (14:59) to talk about her research on the microbiopolitics of food and naturally we begin with what’s in her fridge. Heather tells us about her investigation of artisanal cheesemaking and what it tells us about the shift from Pasteurian to Post-Pasteurian regimes of microbiopower. We hear about goat ladies as revolutionaries, the truth about vegan cheese, and debate whether artisanal foodmaking is an elite project. Heather discusses the search for moral meaning in everyday life as a throughline in her work and we turn to her latest research on food safety inspections, the porosity of food borders and the synecdochic reasoning of the state when it comes to managing food flows. We close by discussing the impact of feminist analytics of labor in her research. What is “beef candy China”? Listen on and you might just find out
HERStory Makers 2023: Heather Mcclelland
No full textHeather Mcclelland is a chartered psychologist and researcher at the University of Glasgow studying mental health. She took part in HERStory Makers 2023.What is HERStory Makers?HERStory Makers is a social media competition for female-identifying early career researchers to share their research, their career journeys, and to inspire the next generation. Winners are selected by public vote. HERStory Makers is also part of EXPLORATHON, Scotland's contribution to European Researchers' Night.In 2022-23, EXPLORATHON was supported by the Engineering & Physical Sciences Research Council [grant number EP/X020762/1].Author contributions to contentHeather Mcclelland conceived, planned, and recorded the video content. Kirsty Ross edited the video content to insert HERStory Maker credits, add subtitles, and ensured the video length was below Twitter/X limit of 2 mins and 20 secs.</p
Supplementary material - Long-term, dynamic remodelling of the corticotroph transcriptome and excitability after a period of chronic stress
No full textChronic stress results in long-term dynamic changes at multiple levels of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis resulting in stress axis dysregulation with long term impacts on human and animal health. However, the underlying mechanisms and dynamics of altered of HPA axis function, in particular at the level of pituitary corticotrophs, during a period of chronic stress and in the weeks after its cessation (defined as “recovery”) are very poorly understood. Here we address the fundamental question of how a period of chronic stress results in altered anterior pituitary corticotroph function and whether this persists in recovery, as well as the transcriptomic changes underlying this. We demonstrate that in mice spontaneous and corticotrophin releasing hormone (CRH)—stimulated electrical excitability of corticotrophs, essential for ACTH secretion, is suppressed for weeks-months of recovery following a period of chronic stress. Surprisingly, there are only modest changes in the corticotroph transcriptome during the period of stress but major alterations occur in recovery. Importantly, while transcriptional changes for a large proportion of mRNAs follow the time course suppression of corticotroph excitability, many other genes display highly dynamic transcriptional changes with distinct time courses throughout recovery. Taken together, this suggests that chronic stress results in complex dynamic transcriptional and functional changes in corticotroph physiology, which are highly dynamic for weeks following cessation of chronic stress. These insights provide a fundamental new framework to further understand underlying molecular mechanisms as well approaches to both diagnosis and treatment of stress-related dysfunction of the HPA axis
Creating and Scaling Innovative School Models Through Strategic Partnerships
No full text· The Texas High School Project (THSP) was created in 2003 as a public-private alliance to support education reform across the state.
· This article focuses on the pivotal role of philanthropy within the THSP alliance to create early college high schools (ECHS).
· The model has been scaled at different levels to produce direct, affordable pathways for students to both attend college and attain skilled careers.
· The ECHS schools have higher test scores, greater credits earned, and reduced dropouts rates compared to traditional schools.
· Foundations with a track record for supporting successful work can increase the overall commitment to joint projects and attract additional members and support to an alliance.
· Lessons for successful partnerships include investing in time together, managing the partnership through one organization, and using data for decision-making
