Economics and Youth Violence
No full textHow do economic conditions such as poverty, unemployment, inflation, and economic growth impact youth violence? Economics and Youth Violence provides a much-needed new perspective on this crucial issue. Pinpointing the economic factors that are most important, the editors and contributors in this volume explore how different kinds of economic issues impact children, adolescents, and their families, schools, and communities.Offering new and important insights regarding the relationship between macroeconomic conditions and youth violence across a variety of times and places, chapters cover such issues as the effect of inflation on youth violence; new quantitative analysis of the connection between race, economic opportunity, and violence; and the cyclical nature of criminal backgrounds and economic disadvantage among families. Highlighting the complexities in the relationship between economic conditions, juvenile offenses, and the community and situational contexts in which their connections are forged, Economics and Youth Violence prompts important questions that will guide future research on the causes and prevention of youth violence.

A commentary of “Type I interferon deficiency can lead to severe COVID-19” in 10 remarkable discoveries from 2020 in Nature
No full textIn two articles published in Science online in September 2020, Zhang et al. [1] and Bastard et al. [2] elucidated a key factor in the progression to severe COVID-19; namely, a deficiency in interferon, especially type I interferon (IFN I). This deficiency might be caused by diverse reasons such as genetic mutations of genes encoding key antiviral signaling molecules, or the ‘neutralization’ of IFN I by endogenous antibodies. How does IFN I deficiency cause severe, life-threatening COVID-19? The most straightforward explanation is that such deficiency allows uncontrolled virus replication and spread. IFN I deficiency may also have other impacts on immune system function. Individuals with mutations in the IFN-I-induced signaling pathways may benefit from interferon therapies. In addition, individuals with neutralizing antibodies against IFN-α and IFN-ω may also benefit from other types of interferons provided in the therapy, such as IFN-β and IFN-λ.①① Original source in Chinese: Xiangming Fang, Type I Interferon Deficiency Can Lead to Severe COVID-19, Bulletin of National Natural Science Foundation of China. 35 (2) (2021) 246-24

Does Downloading PowerPoint Slides Before the Lecture Lead to Better Student Achievement?: Reply
No full textThis reply responds to a comment by Cannon (2011) that opens the debate on consistency of the effect of downloading PowerPoint slides before lectures on students’ exam performance. Cannon (2011) points out potential endogeneity problems in Chen and Lin (2008) and attempts to explore the unconditional mean effect of downloading PowerPoint slides for the full sample. In this reply, we firstly argue that the estimates in our original article are consistent since the effect of interest is the “conditional†treatment effect but not the unconditional mean effect. We provide explanations for our rationale of estimating the “conditional†treatment effect. Secondly, we propose a modified downloading variable to replicate Cannon’s analysis. Our results suggest that downloading PowerPoint slides before the exam does not produce a significant effect on absent students’ exam performance which is different from the results in Cannon (2011). Our analysis does support Cannon’s argument that students fixed effects are different across different attendance status.
Using Google Analytics for improving library website content and design: a case study
No full textGoogle Analytics is a free web analytics solution that provides webmasters with insightful information about how visitors find and interact with their websites. In this case study, we have experimented in using Google Analytics to analyze two of our websites: The Rutgers-Newark Law Library main website and The New Jersey Digital Legal Library website. It was used to monitor our visitors' browsing activities and viewing behaviors for three months. Based on our findings from Google Analytics reports, we have redesigned our website. Subsequent data collected by Google Analytics have confirmed that our new design better fits the information needs of our visitors and librarians. Google Analytics is very powerful and can be used for almost any website. We believe that other libraries will benefit from using Google Analytics as well. Limitations of Google Analytics are also discussed based on our experience with it.The published version of this article is available at: http://www.webpages.uidaho.edu/~mbolin/lpp2007.htm"June, 2007
First person – Mei-Fang Lin
No full textFirst Person is a series of interviews with the first authors of a selection of papers published in Biology Open, helping early-career researchers promote themselves alongside their papers. Mei-Fang Lin is first author on ‘Transcriptomic analyses highlight the likely metabolic consequences of colonization of a cnidarian host by native or non-native Symbiodinium species’, published in BiO. Mei-Fang conducted the research described in this article while a PhD student in David John Miller's lab at James Cook University, Australia. She is now a postdoc in the lab of Hiroshi Watanabe at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology, Japan, investigating cnidarian genomics and evolution
Acute TREM2 inhibition depletes MAFB-high microglia and hinders remyelination
No full textWe investigated the role of Triggering Receptor Expressed on Myeloid cells 2 (TREM2) in myelin regeneration in the brain. TREM2 is a receptor that activates microglia, which are crucial for clearing myelin debris and promoting remyelination. Previous studies in a mouse model of demyelination induced by the copper-chelating agent Cuprizone (CPZ) have shown that stimulation of TREM2 with a monoclonal antibody reduces demyelination, while deleting th
