No full textTimothy Johnson, M.D., medical editor for ABC News will deliver the principal address and receive an honorary degree at the 154th commencement exercises at the College of the Holy Cross on Friday, May 26, beginning at 10:30 a.m. at Fitton Field.
Johnson, one of the nation’s leading medical communicators of health care information, has provided commentary on medical problems and answers for viewers since 1975. In addition to commentary on Good Morning America, Johnson provides on-air analysis of medical news for World News Tonight, Nightline and 20/20. He consults with ABC News regardingcoverage of medical news. He is also medical editor for WCVB-TV, Channel 5 in Boston.
Johnson holds joint positions in medicine at Harvard University and Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. He is the founding editor of the Harvard Medical School Health Letter and co-editor of the Harvard Medical School Health Letter Book. He is also coeditor of the book, “Your Good Health,” published by Harvard Press, as well as co-author with former US Surgeon General Dr. C. Everett Koop of the book, “Let’s Talk,” published by Zondervan in 1992.
He originally intended to join the ministry and graduated from the North Park Seminary in 1963. Two years later he decided to enter medicine. Johnson, who is a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Augustana College, graduated summa cum laude from Albany Medical College and holds a master’s degree in public health from Harvard University. Johnson served as an assisting minister at the Community Covenant Church in West Peabody, Mass.https://crossworks.holycross.edu/commence_address/1012/thumbnail.jp

A socio-rhetorical exegesis of 1 Timothy 2:8-15
No full textIn this thesis two interralted tasks are undertaken. First, this thesis is an attempt to gain mastery of an interpretive methodology, namely, socio-rhetorical analysis. Second, by looking at a crucial text that has major implications for the contemporary church, I have applied this method of analysis to a particularly Scriptural text, namely, 1 Timothy 2:8-15. In this thesis I demonstrate using socio-rhetorical analysis that the discourse contained in 1 Timothy 2:8-15 constitutes baptised patriarchal cultural practices and traditions from the dominant Greco-Roman culture of the first century. I demonstrate, therefore, that the portrayal of women in the text reflects a cultural imperative, and not a theological imperative, that was co-opted from the ""secular"" Greco-Roman culture of the day and transposed, using Scriptural texts as authentication, into the Christian community at Ephesus. Thus the text is simply re-enforcing normative Greco-Roman cultural values upon Christian women and camouflaging it as a Christian norm in order to persuade women to conform to patriarchal cultural standards. Such persuasion, however, is hardly required unless one has already accepted cultural assumptions about the subordination and silencing (objectification) of women in an androcentric hegemonic culture

A consistent and predictable commercial broiler chicken bacterial microbiome in antibiotic-free production displays strong correlations with performance
No full textThis dataset includes forward and reverse raw sequencing reads for 2,309 broiler chicken gut, respiratory, and litter samples surveyed using 16S amplicon profiling.Defining the baseline bacterial microbiome is critical towards understanding its relationship with health and disease. In broiler chickens, numerous studies have aimed at defining the core microbiome, yet the core and its possible relationships with health and disease have been difficult to define due to lack of study power. Here, the most comprehensive microbiome-based effort to date in commercial broilers was undertaken. The primary goals of this study included understanding what constitutes core in the broiler gastrointestinal, respiratory, and barn environments; how these core players change across age, geography, and time; and which bacterial taxa correlate with enhanced bird performance in antibiotic-free flocks. Using 2,309 samples from 37 different commercial flocks within a vertically integrated broiler system, and metadata from 549 flocks within that system, the baseline bacterial microbiome was defined. The effects of age, sample type, flock, and successive flock cycles were compared, and results indicate a consistent, predictable, age-dependent bacterial microbiome, irrespective of flock. The tracheal bacterial microbiome of broilers was comprehensively defined for the first time, and interestingly, Lactobacillus was the dominant bacterial taxa in the trachea. Numerous bacterial taxa were identified which were strongly correlated with broiler chicken performance, across multiple tissues. While many positively correlated taxa were identified representing targets for future probiotic development, many negatively associated potential pathogens were identified in the absence of clinical disease, indicating subclinical dynamics occurring that impact performance. Overall, this work provides necessary baseline data for the development of effective antibiotic alternatives for sustainable poultry production.USDA-AFRI Grant nos. 2016-67015-24911 and 2015-68004-23131Johnson, Timothy J; Youmans, Bonnie P; Noll, Sally; Cardona, Carol; Evans, Nicholas; Kernezos, Peter; Ngunjiri, John; Abundo, Michael; Lee, Chang-Won.

LGBTI variations in crime reporting: how sexual identity influences decisions to call the cops
No full textResearch shows that people vary in their willingness to report crime to police depending on the type of crime experienced, their gender, age, and their race or ethnicity. Whether or not lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and intersex (LGBTI) and heterosexual people vary in their willingness to report crime to the police is not well understood in the extant literature. In this article, I examine variations in LGBTI respondents' attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control on their intentions to report crimes to the police. Drawing on a survey of LGBTI individuals sampled from a Gay Pride community event and online LGBTI community forums (N = 329), I use quantitative statistical methods to examine whether LGBTI people's beliefs in police homophobia are also directly associated with the behavioral intention to report crime. Overall, the results indicate that LGBTI and heterosexual people differ significantly in their intention to report crime to the police, and that a belief in police homophobia strongly influences LGBTI people's intention to underreport crime to the police

Total proteinase activity of pollen coat proteins from Bermuda, Timothy, and Johnson grass assessed by gelatin and casein zymography.
No full text<p>Bands with proteinase activity were visualized as white clear or light lytic zones against a dark background of Coomassie-blue-stained gel (<b>A, gelatin</b>) and (<b>B, casein</b>). On the left, molecular mass markers in kDa are indicated. (<b>C</b>) Pollen coat proteins from Bermuda grass. MW markers were on the left lane, and crude extracts (Ext), concentrated with 80% Acetone (Ac) and with 70% ammonium sulfate (Am), pure cysteine protease (pure, 5 and 7.5 µg/lane) and trypsin as a positive control are shown. The gelatin zymography gives a representative image from 4 separate studies that yielded similar results. (<b>D</b>) Protease activities in pollen surface proteins from Bermuda, Johnson, and Timothy grass corresponding to the lanes in (A) and (B) in the upper panels. The protease activities of pollen surface proteins, equalized for protein concentration, were examined for proteinase activity by use of a chromogenic substrate. The activity was recorded and expressed as units of enzyme activity per milligram of total protein. The cysteine protease colorimetric assay shows significantly greater proteinase activity in the proteins extracted from the Bermuda grass pollen surface compared with proteins extracted from Johnson grass or Timothy grass pollen surface. Bars represent the mean of proteinase activity units of four replicates.</p
