- Abstract
This study focuses on dark-skinned, Black women's representation in Black sitcoms. Through a mixed-methods use of a comparative textual analysis and focus group, the content and context of episodes from A Different World and Dear White People are explored to illustrate portrayals of dark-skinned, Black women and how these portrayals affect dark-skinned, Black women's self-esteem. Its findings contribute to colorism research by exploring colorism in Black sitcoms. Because this topic is largely unexplored, this study seeks to begin a conversation about dark skinned, Black women's representation in Black sitcoms. The main objective is to ultimately improve their depictions and roles in Black sitcoms and hold Black creatives responsible for the role they play in promoting colorism and its ultimate effect on Black women's self esteem.

Ng, Eddy S. and McGinnis Johnson, Jasmine
- Abstract
We surveyed a sample of Millennial college seniors who are job seekers to investigate if: (1) education debt discourages students from pursuing (lower paying) public or nonprofit careers, and (2) whether PSM overrides the considerations students might make about entering lower paying sectors (i.e., public and nonprofit sectors) as their education debt rises. To our surprise, we find that education debt is related to a greater propensity to select lower paying public sector careers but not lower paying nonprofit jobs (except for those with high debt loads). Moderate levels of PSM are required for students to select public sector careers and high levels of PSM are required for students to select nonprofit careers with rising education debt. We conclude that individuals with a high debt load may be attracted to public policy setting and select public sector careers, while those who display empathy and compassion are attracted to nonprofit work in service to others.

- Abstract
Chlorine terminated silicon nanoparticles are produced from a non equilibrium plasma setup. The reactive chlorinated surface is exploited to functionalize the particles using Grignard chemistry and to stabilize the particles in solvent. By functionalizing the particles using Grignard chemistry, the particles form an optically clear solution in diethyl ether that is stable for four months. Chlorine surface coverage was successfully modulated by changing the precursor flowrate during synthesis. The solubility of as produced particles in methyl ethyl ketone was found to be related to the amount of precursor used during synthesis. A low pressure differential mobility analyzer (LPDMA) was installed downstream of a silicon nanocrystal plasma reactor in order to take in situ measurements of particle size distributions. Roughly equal amounts of positive and negative particles are observed. Size distributions of particles measured by the LPDMA are found to be much broader than those observed in TEM. This broadening is believed to be due to in flight coagulation. Inserting a mesh downstream of the plasma reduced the broadness of the distributions.

157. Exploring the Risks of Government Funded Growth in Human Service Organizations.

Johnson, Jasmine, Faulk, Lewis, and Ali, Susannah Bruns
- Abstract
As the public sector increasingly relies on grants to nonprofits to provide human services, both public and nonprofit partners are exploring the implications of this relationship in order to ensure the best possible outcomes. A key issue that has emerged in the public sector literature is the concept of "thin markets" where public sector entities become reliant on a limited pool of private providers. At the same time, the nonprofit literature explores how to make nonprofits financially viable and develop relationship with government without straying from their mission. We combine these two perspectives to understand how a large influx of government grant funding to human service nonprofits impacts organizations' future financial sustainability, recognizing that the stability of the relationship between government and nonprofits is crucial to providing quality services. Using a 13 year panel dataset of IRS 990 data from human service nonprofits we find that nonprofits who experience growth from government grants do not build financial reserves to serve as a cushion during economic downturns creating a situation where declines in funding forces immediate expense reductions. We recommend approaches to the grant process for both government and nonprofit organizations to encourage long-term sustainability ensuring continuity of services, especially during unforeseen economic downturns.

- Abstract
One hundred and twenty randomly selected Black college students were surveyed to determine if a relationship existed between student group involvement and feelings of isolation for Black students on a predominately white campus. A bivariate conelation test was conducted between items measuring isolation and involvement. The results of the study indicated that a significant relationship existed between attending campus events with student groups, and reduced levels of isolation through interactions with student groups. A one-way analysis ofvariance was used to determine if isolation levels differed based on class level (freshmen, sophomore, junior, senior). There was no significant difference found in isolation levels among the four groups. Respondents did report that student group membership provided a support base, and helped to facilitate connections with the campus environment.

Select Drug Category Opiates/Opioids Topic Tolerance/Dependence Abstract Detail Clinical - Epidemiology Abstract Category Original Research Characterize the relationship between intraoperative opioid administration and postoperative pain and opioid requirements. We conducted a retrospective cohort study of 61,250 adult patients who received non-cardiac surgery under general anesthesia at a quaternary care center between 2016 and 2020. The exposure variable was intraoperative fentanyl and intraoperative hydromorphone average effect site concentration. The primary study outcomes were maximal pain score during post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) stay and cumulative opioids administered in the PACU in morphine milligram equivalents (MME). Secondary outcomes included frequency of uncontrolled pain at 24 hours, new instances of chronic pain diagnosis, total opioid use at 24 hours and in-hospital, opioid prescriptions at 30, 90, and 180 postoperative days, frequency of new persistent opioid use, maximal pain score in the first 24 hours and in-hospital, and incidence of opioid related complications in PACU. We used multivariate propensity weighting to control for confounding and estimated the counterfactual difference in outcomes after administration of an additional 100 mcg fentanyl or 500 mcg hydromorphone intraoperatively. Increased intraoperative fentanyl and intraoperative hydromorphone were both associated with reduced maximum pain scores in the PACU. Both exposures were also associated with a reduced probability and reduced total dosage of opioid administration in the PACU. We found that increased fentanyl administration in particular was associated with lower frequency of uncontrolled pain, decreased chronic pain at 3-months, fewer opioid prescriptions at 30-, 90-, and 180-days, and decreased persistent opioid use, without significant increases in side effects. Our results show that intraoperative opioid administration is significantly associated with short- and long-term effects on post-operative pain and opioid outcomes. Contrary to prevailing trends, reduced opioid administration during surgery may have the unintended consequence of increasing postoperative pain and opioid consumption. Our analysis suggests that significant improvements in long-term outcomes might be achieved by optimizing opioid administration during surgery. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Background: Most seasonally circulating enteroviruses result in asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic infections. In rare cases, however, infection with some subtypes can result in paralysis or death. Of the 300 subtypes known, only poliovirus is reportable, limiting our understanding of the distribution of other enteroviruses that can cause clinical disease., Objective: The overarching objectives of this study were to: 1) describe the distribution of enteroviruses in Arizona during the late summer and fall of 2022, the time of year when they are thought to be most abundant, and 2) demonstrate the utility of viral pan-assay approaches for semi-agnostic discovery that can be followed up by more targeted assays and phylogenomics., Methods: This study utilizes pooled nasal samples collected from school-aged children and long-term care facility residents, and wastewater from multiple locations in Arizona during July-October of 2022. We used PCR to amplify and sequence a region common to all enteroviruses, followed by species-level bioinformatic characterization using the QIIME 2 platform. For Enterovirus-D68 (EV-D68), detection was carried out using RT-qPCR, followed by confirmation using near-complete whole EV-D68 genome sequencing using a newly designed tiled amplicon approach., Results: In the late summer and early fall of 2022, multiple enterovirus species were identified in Arizona wastewater, with Coxsackievirus A6, EV-D68, and Coxsackievirus A19 composing 86% of the characterized reads sequenced. While EV-D68 was not identified in pooled human nasal samples, and the only reported acute flaccid myelitis case in Arizona did not test positive for the virus, an in-depth analysis of EV-D68 in wastewater revealed that the virus was circulating from August through mid-October. A phylogenetic analysis on this relatively limited dataset revealed just a few importations into the state, with a single clade indicating local circulation., Significance: This study further supports the utility of wastewater-based epidemiology to identify potential public health threats. Our further investigations into EV-D68 shows how these data might help inform healthcare diagnoses for children presenting with concerning neurological symptoms.

- Abstract
Background: It has been reported that expression of OCT3 enhanced the sensitivity to melphalan in cells, indicative of potential roles of OCT3 in melphalan transport. Herein we investigated the association of select single nucleotide polymorphisms in SLC22A3 (gene encoding OCT3) with clinical outcomes in multiple myeloma (MM) patients with hematopoietic autologous stem cell transplants followed by high-dose melphalan therapy., Materials and Methods: Melphlan concentrations in blood samples from 108 MM patients were measured using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/ΜS); genotypes of rs2048327, rs1810126, and rs3088442 in these patients were determined using quatitive RT-PCR assays., Results: Rs3088442 A variant-carriers had a significantly increased risk of severe oral mucositis in comparison with homozygous rs3088442 G-carriers with adjusted odds ratio of 4.00 (95% CI=1.25-14.7; p=0.027). Rs3088442 A carriers tended to have lower creatinine clearance (p=0.10) and higher maximum plasma concentration of melphalan (p=0.07)., Conclusion: OCT3 might be involved in melphalan transport in MM patients., (Copyright © 2022 International Institute of Anticancer Research (Dr. George J.

- Abstract
Background/aim: SLC7A5 is recognized as the major mediator of melphalan uptake into multiple myeloma (MM) cells; however, its contribution to the inter-patient variability of melphalan efficacy and toxicity is yet to be well elucidated. This study aimed to investigate the impact of a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs4240803 in SLC7A5 on the gene expression, ex vivo sensitivity to melphalan, and clinical outcomes in MM patients who were undergoing autologous stem cell transplantation with high-dose melphalan., Materials and Methods: Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were collected from 108 MM patients prior to melphalan therapy. Clinical data were also collected from these patients following melphalan therapy., Results: rs4240803 was associated with elevated expression of SLC7A5 mRNA, higher ex vivo sensitivity to melphalan in PBMCs, and positive 90-day response in these patients (p=0.047, 0.10, 0.049, respectively)., Conclusion: rs4240803 impacted the expression of SLC7A5, thus contributing to the clinical response of MM patients to melphalan therapy., (Copyright© 2019, International Institute of Anticancer Research (Dr. George J.
