Berta Lule oral history transcript
No full textA transcript of an oral history of Berta Lule, Teacher at W.L.Henry Elementary School, on Hispanics in the Hillsboro schools. The school is in it first year of the dual immersion program which starts in Kindergarten. It is a choice offered by the school. 70% of students are Spanish speaking. Prior to the beginning of the program some students were lost to Forest Grove and Beaverton schools. The school does still continue to have the option of the ESL program. Ms. Lule was born in Mexico, moved to California at age 5, and then to Oregon at age 9. In 2000 was a part of planning strategies to improve Hispanic drop-out rate. Ms. Lule employs GLAD or Guided Language Acquisition Design training techniques. Some of these techniques include visuals, vocabulary, and writing. The author Alma Florado, from San Francisco, brought a reading/writing outreach program for parents and students to the school
Plasma cholinesterase and carboxylesterase activities and nuclear and mitochondrial lipid composition of human placenta associated with maternal exposure to pesticides
No full textBlood cholinesterases and tissue carboxylesterases (CEs) are sensitive indicators of environmental organophosphate pesticides (OPs) exposure. The aim of this pilot study was to assess the impact of OP exposure on placental CE activity and lipid composition. We performed a study of 40 healthy women who live in agricultural farms. Samples were collected during the pulverization period (PP) and recess period (RP). The plasma cholinesterase and placental CE activity decreased in PP, suggesting that women were exposed to OPs and that these pesticides reached the placenta. The cardiolipin content increased and the phosphatidylethanolamine content decreased in the light mitochondrial fraction while total cholesterol and sphingomyelin increased in the nuclear fraction. These changes in lipid profiles suggest repair by hyperplasia of the cytotrophoblast. Decreased CE activity may have clinical and toxicological implications and thus entail potential risks to damage fetal growth and development.Fil: Vera, Berta. Universidad Nacional del Comahue.
