How a new inmate triage system could reduce the use of solitary confinement and improve prison safety
No full textAcross the political spectrum in the United States, there are growing concerns regarding the effectiveness and utility of solitary confinement - a practice also referred to as restrictive housing. However, for a country that has grown reliant on the use of solitary confinement in its prisons, there are still more questions than answers about how to reduce its use while also ensuring institutional safety and security. Ryan M. Labrecque created a new tool for use by corrections staff to triage inmates by risk. He argues that this tool can be effective in reducing the use of restrictive housing and increasing prison safety by proactively targeting high-risk inmates for treatment services upon their entry into the prison system

Bovine Oocyte Transcriptome in Relation to Chromatin Configuration of the Germinal Vesicle
No full textVarious physiological contexts have been used to study the mRNA composition of bovine oocyte in relation with the potential to reach the blastocyst stage. The chromatin configuration of the oocyte at the germinal vesicle (GV) stage has been positively associated with developmental competence, where a more compacted chromatin is correlated with a better chance to get an embryo. Four distinct and progressive states of chromatin condensation can be observed and are linked with the sequential acquisition of the developmental potential in bovine species. Therefore, GV stage oocytes were collected and separated in four groups according to their degree of chromatin condensation. Transcriptomic analyses were performed with the EmbryoGENE microarray platform in order to identify transcripts modulations during the gradual chromatin remodeling. A reference design was used where GV0 stage (diffused chromatin state) was compared with the other three groups (GV1; GV2 and GV3, the latter refers to the condensed chromatin state). The number of transcripts significantly different was relatively similar between the three contrasts (an average of 300 genes, fold change > 2; p-value < 0.01) with the majority of them were presenting a reduced level in oocyte with more compacted chromatin. However, among the transcripts presenting an increased mRNA level in these contrasts, many of them are associated with histone genes, chromatin organization and transcriptional regulation. These results suggest that even in a context of transcriptional repression, there is still an accumulation of specific transcripts. Adequate storage of specific histone mRNAs could provide an optimal maternal accumulation in order to fulfill the requirement for the subsequent cell divisions until embryonic genome activation. This dataset will provide a more complete characterization of the oocyte transcriptome modulations and will help us to better understand the competence acquisition in the oocyte at the end of the follicular growth
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
