10. Making the Connection: The California Urban Superintendent and Parent and Community Involvement

Author

Nguyen-Hernandez, Amy

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to redress the paucity of research regarding superintendents and their role in implementing parent and community involvement policies. Another aim was to examine which types of parent and community involvement practices, if any, may be related to student achievement. A mixed methods inquiry was applied. The Measure of School, Family, and Community Partnership survey was sent out to 53 superintendents leading California Urban K-12 Unified School Districts. Multiple notifications were conducted resulting in a 71.7% overall response rate with a 62.3% overall participation rate. A one-on-one interview was also conducted with six superintendents- two leading more successful districts and four leading less successful districts. Additional data was gathered using the California Department of Education web site and reviewing documents provided by the participating districts. Four research questions guided the study. It was found that superintendents who were less likely to believe parent and community involvement related to student achievement were less likely to make parent and community involvement a priority than superintendents who indicated that they strongly believed in this relationship. Results also indicated that superintendents rated the involvement practices of Type VI, Collaborating with Community, as the most prevalent component of their districts' parent and community involvement plan while Type III, Volunteering, was the least prevalent. Findings from the interview revealed nine strategies and five roles that Superintendents used in executing their District's parent and community involvement policies. Four of the strategies were identified as Type II, Communicating. Three of the roles were identified as building a welcoming environment. Results of the final research question found that there was strong evidence (p = 0.01) that an association existed between Type III, Volunteering, as compared to student achievement and strong evidence (p < 0.01) that an association exists between Type V, Decision Making, as compared to student achievement. This study concluded with implications for practitioners and policy makers and suggestions for future research.

Abstract

Psychiatric and behavioral disturbances are common in Huntington’s disease (HD) and contribute significantly to its morbidity and mortality. We herein present the case of a 43-year-old woman with genetically verified HD, whose deteriorating psychiatric condition necessitated multiple inpatient psychiatric hospitalizations and featured a clinical spectrum of neuropsychiatric disturbances classically associated with HD. This paper reviews the literature concerning Huntington’s psychopathology and provides an illustrative case example of its clinical nature.

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Feeding assays using adult rice water weevils and foliage of plants treated as seeds with chlorantraniliprole and thiamethoxam at different rates were conducted to evaluate the systemic adulticidal and feeding effects. Dose-mortality relationships were determined for thiamethoxam seed treatments by combining leaf area lost due to feeding and insecticide residues analyzed by LC/MS/MS. Changes in adulticidal activity of thiamethoxam were also investigated by contrasting adult mortalities at the 5-6-leaf and tillering stages of rice. RESULTS: Adult weevil mortalities and leaf consumption rates on foliage were affected in thiamethoxam but not in chlorantraniliprole treatments when rice was at the 6-7-leaf stage. The LD50 for weevils feeding on thiamethoxam-treated rice at the 2-3-leaf stage was 447 pg insecticide weevil−1 (95% CL: 25-830 pg weevil−1) but was lower (142 pg weevil−1; 95% CL: 102-180 pg weevil−1) in experiments with 3-4-leaf-stage plants. Mortalities on leaves from 5-6-leaf-stage plants were consistently higher than on leaves from tillering plants. Thiamethoxam residues measured by ELISA increased with seed treatment rate and differed between plant stages. CONCLUSION: The LD50 values developed in this study are the first values for leaf-feeding insects on foliage of plants treated as seeds with thiamethoxam. The attrition of adulticidal activity of thiamethoxam in foliage of older plants may help to explain the reduced effectiveness of seed treatments against rice water larvae that is seen at later stages of rice growth in field studies. The differential activity of these two seed treatments on adults suggests that adult mortality contributes to the field efficacy of thiamethoxam but not to that of chlorantraniliprole.

33. Bioactives ofArtemisia dracunculus L. Mitigate the Role of Ceramides in Attenuating Insulin Signaling in Rat Skeletal Muscle Cells.

Abstract

Ectopic lipids in peripheral tissues have been implicated in attenuating insulin action in vivo. The botanical extract of Artemisia dracunculus L. (PMI 5011) improves insulin action, yet the precise mechanism is not known. We sought to determine whether the mechanism by which PMI 5011 improves insulin signaling is through regulation of lipid metabolism. After differentiation, cells were separately preincubated with free fatty acids (FFAs) and ceramide C2, and the effects on glycogen content, insulin signaling, and ceramide profiles were determined. The effect of PMI 5011 on ceramide accumulation and ceramide-induced inhibition of insulin signaling was evaluated. FFAs resulted in increased levels of total ceramides and ceramide species in L6 myotubes. Saturated FFAs and ceramide C2 inhibited insulin-stimulated phosphorylation of protein kinase B/Akt and reduced glycogen content. PMI 5011 had no effect on ceramide formation or accumulation but increased insulin sensitivity via restoration of Akt phosphorylation. PMI 5011 also attenuated the FFA-induced upregulation of a negative inhibitor of insulin signaling, i.e., protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B), and increased phosphorylation of PTP1B. PMI 5011 attenuates the reduction in insulin signaling induced by ceramide accumulation, but the mechanism of improved insulin signaling is independent of ceramide formation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
