Although human papillomavirus, or HPV, is the most common sexually transmitted disease, many people are unaware of the effects it can have. Its symptoms are generally mild compared to other diseases, and many times, no symptoms are present, leading to the mistaken belief that HPV is not serious. However, it can cause several types of cancer in both men and women, so knowledge of how to prevent and treat it is crucial. Through informative sidebars, annotated quotes from medical experts, and detailed graphs, readers learn the true risks of this disease and what precautions they can take to protect themselves.

Research demonstrates that faculty of color in historically white institutions experience higher levels of discrimination, cultural taxation, and emotional labor than their white colleagues. Despite efforts to recruit minority faculty, all of these factors undermine their scholarship, pedagogy, social experiences, promotion and retention. This edited volume builds upon the existing research on faculty of color, however, it also departs from the existing literature and unravels the socio-emotional experiences of being in front of the classroom, in labs, and in the Ivory Tower for faculty who are in multiple racialized social locations. In an effort to circulate the experiences of faculty of color more widely to academic and non-academic audiences, this edited volume replaces conventional scholarly technical papers with unconventionally accessible letters. Stories from the Front of the Room focuses on the boundaries which faculty of color encounter in everyday experiences on campus and presents a more complete picture of life in the academy - one that documents how faculty of color are tested, but also how they can not only overcome, but thrive in their respective educational institutions.

For centuries, scientists and philosophers have sought to understand how the brain uses memory to drive changes in behavior. One challenge is that memory cannot be physically isolated. Memory is an instance in which an organism''s current behavior is determined by some aspect of its previous experience4. It an emergent property that researchers observe as an overt change at one or more levels of biological organization. Recent advances in molecular biology and neuroscience pushed our understanding past the concept of the neural doctrine (single neurons are the brain’s information processing unit of organization) and the central dogma of molecular biology (function is coded by the process DNA-u003eRNA-u003eProtein) which alone do not solve the problem of understanding how the brain stores and recalls memories that change animal behavior. Identifying the molecular basis of individual phenotypic variation is a major challenge for modern molecular neuroscientists. This research provides fundamental new insights into how transcriptional and electrophysiological variation arises both within the major principal cell class of the hippocampus that are crucial for learning, memory, and cognition. The first research chapter provides a thorough description of how a conditioned place avoidance paradigm and its associated stressors alter transcriptomic and synaptic activity in the hippocampus. I found that DG responds strongly with an upregulation of transcription factors in response to consistently reinforced place avoidance training. While CA1 responds to cognitive and stressful manipulations with up and down-regulation of biochemical pathways that are important for synaptic signaling. The second research chapter provides insight into how genetic manipulation alters behavior, physiology, and gene expression. I thoroughly explore and describe the effects of FMR1 gene knockout on avoidance learning, synaptic physiology, and gene expression. The main behavioral finding was that FMR1-KO mice use strategy for place avoidance that does not utilize hippocampal-dependent mechanisms of memory. Unexpectedly, learning was not as strong during initial training as expected based on published literature and the previous chapter; therefore, the results of these experiments should be interpreted with that caution. FMRP loss in mice has been shown to cause abnormal synaptic and structural plasticity in CA1 pyramidal cells and has been associated with impaired hippocampal function as well as cognitive deficits. To focus only on the effect of genotype and to better understand the transcriptional effects of gene-knockdown, I narrow my examination to the CA1 of naive animals (those without cognitive training to increase learning and memory). I detected minor changes in genes that encode proteins known to interact with FMRP directly. I found that downregulation of expression of Cacna1g, Efcab6, Serpina3n, and Sstr3 genes is robust by conducting open and reproducible analysis of primary and public data. Finally, the third thesis chapter provides a deeper understanding of how new technological methods for RNA sequencing influence our ability to detect stability and plasticity in hippocampal transcriptomes. This study constitutes a significant contribution to our understanding of how experimental techniques may or may not mask our ability to identify biologically meaningful signatures of the molecular mechanisms regulating behavior and brain function

Are you fully healed from your invisible wounds? As Christians we have all faced moments of feeling pressed or oppressed by life situations. However, there is a way that one can live healed and as a body of Christ we are charged to help others as well to heal from invisible wounds. This begins with love and transforming our minds to the mind of Christ (see Romans 12:2). Most importantly, to not continue the Life Cycle of Complacency in dealing with any mental health, substance abuse, sexual addictions, or any other invisible wounds that try to overwhelm us. In these pages are insightful educational tools and resources to help not only yourself but others, and especially church leaders to assist others to not only get strong in their healing but also to remain strong in their healing from invisible wounds.

Roughly one century ago (give or take the odd month) Allen Clarke''s ''Windmill Land'' was first published; a philosophical account of the author''s rambles around the Fylde and Wyre. One hundred years later, armed only with their first-edition copy, Michelle Harris and Brian Hughes pulled on their hiking boots and headed off in search of Clarke''s legacy. This is ''Windmill Land'' rediscovered, reappraised, re-evaluated - a ''Return to Windmill Land'' to see what''s become of it.

Many secondary schools in the Twin Rivers Unified School District (TRUSD) did not meet the criteria for Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) for 2011 in English Language Arts. Regardless of one''s agreement or disagreement with standardized tests as a measuring stick, the persistence and consistency of the results for these secondary schools suggest that there is an instructional problem in the English Language Arts program. Contributing to the solution is the main goal of this project.

My recipe for happiness was simple: Keep your man by your side, keep your game face on, and if at all possible, keep a Coach bag in your hand. Besides, if you keep up the front, they never really know how bad you feel ... Chantell Meyers figures she''s got her life together. After all, she''s envied for her successful, high-paying executive job; spending all the money and wearing all the clothes she could ever want; and a just-too-perfect fiance, Eric. Sure, she''d be the first to admit she''s never really at peace with herself. And she knows it''s been way too long since she set foot in church-or thought much about her relationship with God. But Chantell learned long ago, when her beloved mother died, that if you can''t forget your pain, the very next best thing to do is to hide it. Little by little, she has started to believe that looking and living good counts more -- and hurts a lot less -- than being real. Then suddenly her father has a near-fatal heart attack-and Chantell gets a major reality check. She promises God she will try to be a better person if her father pulls through. Yet it isn''t long before her good intentions begin unraveling her "good life" in the worst way. Before she knows it, she''s facing big-time betrayal in her personal life and a major meltdown at work. And when Keith Talbit, a childhood acquaintance, unexpectedly comes back into her life, she finds herself looking longingly at a successful, good-looking Christian man secure in himself and his walk-just the kind of man she''s sure she''s not worthy to love. Reeling from mega-drama and more bad news, this dedicated shopper must now look to God-and back into her past-to find out how she wants to spend the rest of her life. It will take everything she didn''t think she had to put her life in God''s hands...and truly "have it all."

This paper investigated three factors, two related to accountability and one an individual difference factor, which may influence rating level: (1) identifiability, (2) to whom one feels accountable (audience), and (3) conscientiousness. In study 1, results from students who rated their instructors indicated that not only did raters relatively high in conscientiousness report feeling more accountability but also that identifiability and conscientiousness interacted in predicting rating level. Raters relatively low in conscientiousness provided higher ratings when identified but raters relatively high in conscientious did not provide higher ratings. Rating audience did not influence rating level. Study 2 replicated the findings from study 1: Low conscientious raters assigned higher ratings when identified than when anonymous but high conscientious raters did not assign higher ratings when identified. Implications are discussed.
