On The Removal of Agricultural Price Bands in Chile: A General Equilibrium Analysis
No full textChile has supported its agriculture with the use of price bands on selected commodities namely wheat, vegetable oils and fats, and sugar. In this paper we consider agricultural reform and how urban unemployment, and rural-urban migration, may alter the expected welfare effects of agricultural reform. We utilize a new CGE model of the Chilean economy based on the Harris-Todaro ramework, incorporating imperfect labor mobility, and consider both price band removal and more extensive agricultural reform that eliminates all tariffs on agricultural and food commodities in Chile. Results show that if trade reforms damage the rural economy in Chile, potential gains in welfare from lower agricultural prices are offset by increased urban unemployment and lower rural wages resulting in net welfare loss from trade reform.

Relationship quality and family formation in Europe
No full textThe increase in cohabitation and nonmarital childbearing across Europe has raised questions about who still marries either before or after having a child. Although prior studies have addressed the sequence of marriage and childbearing, few have examined the role of relationship quality in these transitions. Here we employ a cross-national perspective to study the association between relationship quality and marriage and/or first birth within cohabitation. Using the Generations and Gender Survey and UK Household Longitudinal Study, we study seven European countries (Austria, France, Hungary, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, and UK). We employ competing risk hazard models to follow respondents as they 1) transition from cohabitation into marriage or conception (or separation); 2) transition to marriage (or separation) after having a birth within cohabitation. Results show that cohabitors with higher relationship quality are more marriage prone than those in lower quality relationships in Austria, France, Hungary, and the UK, but not in the Netherlands, Norway and Sweden. Instead, higher relationship quality is associated with higher conception risks in cohabitation in Sweden. After childbearing, we find a positive association between relationship quality and marriage among cohabiting parents in the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. These results suggest that marriage is still important for couples with higher quality relationships; however, in countries where cohabitation is widespread, the timing of marriage may have shifted to after childbearing
Social Media Addiction and Social Media Reactions: The Implications for Job Performance

We engaged 96 students from a University in the Western United States to use a chain-referral sampling methodology of up to five individuals. Those students were to recruit individuals that were over the age of 18 and working at least 30 hours a week. For each completed survey they received extra credit in their undergraduate course. Of the potential 480 surveys, we received completed surveys from 326, which represented a 68% response rate.

Abstract 4804: Sex-specific differences in Benzo(a)Pyrene [B(a)P]-induced colon carcinogenesis
No full textAbstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common diagnosed cancer and the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States. It has also been reported that colon cancer incidence and mortality rates are higher in men than woman, but there is yet a determined mechanistic link to show the factors that underlie the sex-specific differences in CRC initiation and progression. Benzo(a)pyrene [B(a)P], a member of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) family of compounds is a well-characterized environmental toxicant that has been proven to be a major contributor to the development of sporadic colon cancer. Published studies indicate that Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor (AhR), a receptor for [B(a)P], bind to estrogen receptor (ER) and negatively affect AhR-target gene transcription. This study aims to elucidate the sex-specific differences in B(a)P-induced colon cancer in adult Polyposis In the Rat Colon (PIRC) model. We hypothesize that sex-specific differences in B(a)P biotransformation modulates the formation of colon tumors in PIRC rats. Groups of female and male PIRC rats (n = 8) received sub-chronic exposure to 25, 50 and 100 µg B(a)P/kg body wt. via oral gavage for 60 days. Female and male rats that received no [B(a)P] treatment served as controls. [B(a)P] was shown to have no significant effect on body weight of these rats and female PIRC rats that received 25, 50 and 100 µg B(a)P/kg body wt. showed significant decrease in total polyp count when compared to males with respective treatments. Polyp sizes of female PIRC rats receiving 25, 50 and 100 µg B(a)P/kg body wt. were increased when compared to males respectively. Histopathological analysis of colon polyps revealed that female animals exhibited low-grade to no dysplasia while high-grade dysplasia was recorded in male animals treated with corresponding doses. Phase 1 enzyme, Cytochrome P450 isoform 1A1 (CYP1A1), and phase 2 enzyme, Sulfotransferase Family 1A Member 1 (SULT1A1), were downregulated in colon tissue of female PIRC rats receiving 25, 50 and 100 µg B(a)P/kg body wt. when compared to male counterparts. In future studies, by measuring the expression of other phase 1 and phase 2 drug metabolizing enzymes (DME), along with measuring circulating estrogen levels, analyzing [B(a)P] metabolite profile, and probing B(a)P-DNA interactions, we will provide insight into if and how estrogen receptor protects females from developing colon cancer.
