Accessibility is about equitable access to resources for all people, regardless of physical ability. Scholarly publishing is about quality and impact -- quality of content and impact of research. Accessibility & Publishing addresses the intersections between scholarly publishing and equitable access for users. This briefing explores how the practices that promote accessibility in publishing can also advance -- and potentially transform -- publishing itself. This briefing traces the diversity of activities that currently go into making publications accessible to readers with print disabilities -- from retroactive conversion of print into braille and recorded sound, to the more radical incorporation of accessibility standards directly into digital publishing platforms. As scholarly communication is transformed by the shift to digital publishing, building accessible practices directly into the flow of publishing has the potential to become the industry norm. Accessibility & Publishing offers an essential orientation to a complex landscape for anyone interested in the scholarly publishing ecosystem.

An essential resource for women participating in the Beyond Anger and Violence program The Beyond Anger and Violence program is a forty-hour, evidence-based, gender-responsive, trauma-informed treatment program specifically developed for women who struggle to safely manage anger. It uses a Social-Ecological Model to understand anger and violence and explores the complex interplay between individual, relationship, community, and societal factors that gives rise to anger, assault, and property destruction. In the newly revised second edition of the Beyond Anger and Violence: Program for Women Participant Workbook, internationally recognized clinician Stephanie S. Covington delivers a key resource for women undergoing the Beyond Anger and Violence program. This Workbook provides a place for participants to review the content of sessions, write down their thoughts and reactions, and complete activities during and after sessions. Inside the book: Help in understanding the relationships between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors Techniques for communication, conflict resolution, decision making, and calming behaviors Ways to understand how our families, relationships, communities, and societies impact our lives Strategies for understanding the roles that anger and violence play in our relationships An essential resource for all participants undergoing the Beyond Anger and Violence program, this Participant Workbook includes brand-new coverage of the impact of trauma, the meaning of “gender,” the significance of child abuse, and how self-harm and suicide can affect anger- and violence-reduction strategies.

"In response to energy policies and technological innovation, electricity systems are becoming more integrated and interdependent. In the Western United States, the creation of an energy imbalance market (EIM) is a significant move towards electricity grid integration. The question of how to govern this newly forming market has been deliberated in multiple decision-making venues. Through these deliberations, stakeholders engaged in the process of policy implementation and shaped the structure of the EIM as a policy intervention. To understand how this initiative unfolded and why this effort succeeded where others failed, this research explores policy implementation as the outcome of the social negotiation of authority. To accomplish this, this research combines policy implementation, boundary work, and field theories and develops an empirical investigation of how actors reconciled multiple and often conflicting authorities to enact policy change. This study asks how actors, using social practices and strategies, created and legitimated sources of authority to establish a governing body for this new market service. This case study relied on qualitative methods, including document review, participant interviews, systematic observation of decision-making in context, detailed observation fieldnotes, and the self-reflexive awareness of the role of the researcher. The dissertation demonstrates that: 1) dominant yet deficient narratives provided a rationale for ongoing resistance to regional governance in the West and prevented collaboration; 2) actors overcame and transformed deficient sources of authority by enacting social strategies that allowed alternative interpretations of the EIM construct and enabled organizations to begin collaboration; 3) actors using social negotiation interpreted and adjusted the EIM policy intervention and co-created emergent forms of authority that are flexible and dynamic; and 4) field interdependencies surfaced taken-for-granted assumptions and provided critical resources for innovative forms of collective action. The implications of these findings highlight the importance of the social negotiation of authority in energy policy implementation. Specifically, the research makes several theoretical and practical contributions: 1) multi-organizational policy implementation is a social process of transforming, negotiating, and co-creating authority, and relational authority can be an important rationale for enacted practices; 2) strategic actors engage in communicative and social processes in which authority is emergent and abstraction enables collective action without requiring consensus; 3) routine field interdependencies can bring attention to taken-for-granted assumptions and create a moment of co-authoring; and 4) regional electricity system governance structures evolve as they balance the inherent tensions of organized market participation."--Boise State University ScholarWorks.

This work describes an active magnetic bead-linked immunoassay on protein microarrays to detect WNV-specific IgM. The approach exploits a conceptually new immunoassay procedure in which slow diffusion-controlled reactions are replaced with active delivery of analytes via the application of an electric field to specific probe molecules immobilized and patterned onto a membrane surface in the form of a microarray [192]. The array surface is then scanned by magnetic beads functionalized with probe molecules that have affinity for the bound molecule of interest [193]. This assay is more advantageous than the current MAC-ELISA for detecting WNV infection due to a significant reduction in assay time and cost yet still maintaining sensitivity. Compared to the MAC-ELISA, this new diagnostic assay had 100% sensitivity while taking only 15 minutes to yield results instead of 3 days required for the MAC-ELISA. The new diagnostic also cost approximately cost 8 times less per test than the MAC-ELISA. This new diagnostic assay can be used to aid physicians and public health workers in the management of epidemics caused by WNV as well as be used in seroepidemiologic studies, and to evaluate blood and organ donations.

My intentions were to conduct a systematic review of articles and research to present supporting evidence for a new model of the developmental stages that lead to the cardiometabolic risk associated with atypical antipsychotics. The novel actions of atypical antipsychotics include a blockade at mediating proopiomelanocortin (POMC) neuron 5HT2C receptors, that prevents inhibition of the M-Current in the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus and pedunculopontine nucleus (PPN) of the reticular activating system (RAS). Inability to inhibit the M-current generates a metabolic disturbance due to its moderation of leptin and ghrelin secretion leading to increase in cardiometabolic risk. The secondary effect of 5HT2C antagonism prevents activation of the PPN in the RAS causing sleep disturbance. Correlation between sleep disturbance and cardiometabolic risk will also be explored. Information will be gleaned from journals focused on psychopharmacology, neuroscience, molecular biology, and the endocrine system in order to present the fullest spectrum of current research on cardiometabolic risk.
