Toxoplasma gondii Detection in Urban Hawai´i
No full textFeral cats have flourished in urban areas of Hawai´i due to the state’s favorable climate and people’s positive perception of cats. However, the presence of large numbers of feral cats has raised concern both in terms of predation of native species and as vectors of disease. One disease, in particular, that has aroused a great deal of attention is toxoplasmosis, caused by the Toxoplasma gondii parasite. Cats are the definitive host of T. gondii and concerns arise regarding transmission to humans due to the relationships people have with cats. Another concern is the fact that the parasite has infected endemic and endangered species found in the state. Toxoplasma gondii oocysts are shed in cat excrement and can persist in soil between 1 and 4 years. The presence of T. gondii at cat colony sites could be an important factor when making decisions for the management of feral cats in the state. We intend to test soil samples taken from cat colony sites at the University of Hawai´i at Mânoa for T. gondii oocysts using molecular identification methods. Cat colony sites are defined by feeding stations maintained by cat colony caretakers. Given that cats are definitive hosts of T. gondii, we hypothesize that the presence of toxoplasmosis in soil is correlated to cat colony locations. Because most cats within a colony remain in close proximity to their feeding location, we predict that toxoplasmosis is spatially contained within tight proximity to cat colonies. If T. gondii oocysts are present in soil at the University of Hawai´i at Mânoa, then cat colonies may cause potential health hazards for landscaping personnel, students, staff, and visitors
Google Books??? Coverage of Hawai???i and Pacific Books
No full textIncludes poster and written description.This poster reports on a recent quantitative study of Google Books??? coverage of Hawaiian and Pacific books. A total of 1,500 books were randomly selected from the University of Hawai???i at Manoa???s Hawaiian, Pacific, and general stacks collections. Their level of access was then determined in Google Books by observing whether the books had a metadata record, were full-text searchable, and whether they were available in snippet, preview, or full-text views. Results show that Google Books has a sizable number of metadata records for Hawaiian and Pacific books, but has only a limited number available for full-text searching. In contrast, a larger number of books from the general stacks were available for full-text searching

Pengaruh Motivation, Perceived Value, dan Experience terhadap Revisit Intention pada Hawai Waterpark Malang
No full textPerkembangan bisnis di bidang jasa saat ini telah mengalami kenaikan yang pesat dan telah mengubah gaya hidup masyarakat. Perusahaan jasa, terutama pada bidang pariwisata, mereka harus benar-benar mencari cara inovatif untuk meningkatkan kekuatan kompetitif sehingga dapat mempertahanan loyalitas konsumen. Dengan memahami hal ini, maka sebuah tempat wisata perlu mengetahui lebih mendalam mengenai faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi pegunjung untuk mempertahankan loyalitas mereka sehingga akan berkunjung kembali. Penelitian dilakukan pada salah satu tempat wisata di Kota Malang, yaitu Hawai Waterpark. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis pengaruh motivation, perceived value, dan experience terhadap revisit intention pada Hawai Waterpark Malang Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian eksplanatori, dengan teknik pengumpulan data melalui penyebaran kuesioner. Pengambilan sampel menggunakan teknik probability yang bersifat random sampling, dengan responden sebanyak 150. Analisis data menggunakan analisis regresi linier berganda, asumsi klasik, uji ketepatan model menggunakan Uji F dan uji hipotesis menggunakan Uji t Berdasarkan hasil uji F, ditemukan bahwa variabel motivation, perceived value, dan experience secara bersama-sama berpengaruh signifikan terhadap revisit intention. Berdasarkan uji t, ditemukan bahwa dari ketiga variabel bebas, variabel experience dan perceived value berpengaruh terhadap revisit intention, sedangkan motivation tidak. Varaibel yang paling dominan terhadap revisit intention adalah experience. Maka saran yang dapat diberikan oleh penulis adalah Hawai Waterpark perlu mengembangkan kerangka kerja yang lebih terperinci sebagai kebijakan dalam peningkatan layanan yang didasarkan pada experience yang didapatkan oleh pengunjung
Risk and Protective Factors of Micronesian Youth in Hawai\u27i: An Exploratory Study
No full textThis exploratory, qualitative study examined the risk and protective factors of Micronesian middle and high school students in Hawai\u27i. Forty one Micronesian youth participated in 9 focus groups that explored their experiences within their schools, families, and communities. The findings describe youths\u27 experiences of ecological stress beginning with their migration to Hawai\u27i, and the potential outcomes of this stress (e.g., fighting, gangs, and drug use). Cultural buffers, such as traditional practices and culturally specific prevention programs, were described as aspects that prevented adverse outcomes. Implications for prevention practice are discussed

Heterogeneous and tissue-specific regulation of effector T cell responses by IFN-gamma during Plasmodium berghei ANKA infection.
No full textIFN-γ and T cells are both required for the development of experimental cerebral malaria during Plasmodium berghei ANKA infection. Surprisingly, however, the role of IFN-γ in shaping the effector CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cell response during this infection has not been examined in detail. To address this, we have compared the effector T cell responses in wild-type and IFN-γ(-/-) mice during P. berghei ANKA infection. The expansion of splenic CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells during P. berghei ANKA infection was unaffected by the absence of IFN-γ, but the contraction phase of the T cell response was significantly attenuated. Splenic T cell activation and effector function were essentially normal in IFN-γ(-/-) mice; however, the migration to, and accumulation of, effector CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells in the lung, liver, and brain was altered in IFN-γ(-/-) mice. Interestingly, activation and accumulation of T cells in various nonlymphoid organs was differently affected by lack of IFN-γ, suggesting that IFN-γ influences T cell effector function to varying levels in different anatomical locations. Importantly, control of splenic T cell numbers during P. berghei ANKA infection depended on active IFN-γ-dependent environmental signals--leading to T cell apoptosis--rather than upon intrinsic alterations in T cell programming. To our knowledge, this is the first study to fully investigate the role of IFN-γ in modulating T cell function during P. berghei ANKA infection and reveals that IFN-γ is required for efficient contraction of the pool of activated T cells
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
