Abstract:
A Review of: Barr-Walker, J., Hoffner, C., McMunn-Tetangco, E., & Mody, N. (2021). Sexual harassment at University of California Libraries: Understanding the experiences of library staff members. College & Research Libraries, 82(2), 237. https://doi.org/10.5860/crl.82.2.237 Abstract Objective – To identify whether academic library workers at the University of California Libraries (UCL) system experienced or observed sexual harassment and to measure their reporting and disclosure behavior. Design – Anonymous online survey with open and closed-end questions. Setting – All UCL system campuses (Berkeley, Davis, Irvine, Los Angeles, Merced, Riverside, Santa Barbara, Santa Cruz, San Diego, and San Francisco). Subjects – All 1610 non-student employees working in UCL system were invited to participate, 579 (36%) responded. Methods – The authors engaged multiple stakeholder groups to refine and promote this census of UCL non-student workers. The survey was distributed via REDCap and remained open for six weeks of November to December 2018. All questions were optional. Certain demographic information was not collected because respondents might have been identified via deductive disclosure. The first author conducted descriptive statistical analysis and pairs of authors conducted thematic analysis. Main Results – More than half of respondents experienced or observed sexual harassment in the workplace; women were more likely to experience than observe and vice versa for men. Harassment was most likely to be exhibited by a coworker. Less than half of respondents felt that the UCL system administration considered the issue important. Nearly three out of every four respondents who had experienced harassment at work chose not to report or disclose; this did not vary significantly between women and men. Conclusion – Sexual harassment of library workers, often by other library workers, is widespread. Staff training and policies should incorporate the reality of gender harassment and commenting on a person's appearance—the two most common forms of harassment exhibited and observed.

Abstract:
The growing popularity of comics in Ukraine and worldwide increases scientific attention to this type of information product. The article is devoted to generalising the leading tendencies in the Comics Study and researching comics in modern humanities. Based on the study devoted to comics professional publications, profile resources of world comics research centres and the current state of understanding the phenomenon of comics magazines and Internet resources, application of review-analytical, historical-chronological, dialectical, socio-communication, and content analysis methods has been detected that the syncretic nature of comics made them a research subject in various sciences and programme subject areas: literary studies, linguistics, cultural study, art history, history, political science, and others. Leading research centres of Comics Study are the International Comic Art Forum, the British Consortium of Comic Researchers, the Comics Research Hub of the University of the Arts, the Canadian Society for the Study of Comics, the Society for Comics Researchers (USA). The educational direction of Comics Studies has been represented by bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral (doctor of philosophy) educational programs in higher education institutions of different countries: the University of Florida, University of Toronto, University of California Santa Cruz, University of Portland, West University, University Dundee, Teesside University, Lancaster University (UK), Kyoto Seika University (Japan). The growth of scientific knowledge in Comics Study, on the one hand, and on the other hand - the predominance of interdisciplinary approach in the studies necessitated the establishment of special scientific journals dedicated to comics, such as the Journal of Graphic Novels and Comics, Studies in Comics, European Comic Art. In Ukraine, the study of comics at the dissertation level took place in the dimension of pedagogy and philology. However, some scientific research on comics is available in journalism, press studies, publishing, political science, literature, journalism, and social communications. It has been found that as a multifunctional and unique information product and object of library activity, comics have not yet become the subject of study for bibliologists and librarians. The prospects of separating the corresponding research direction in bibliology and library science are substantiated.

Abstract:
This completely computer-based module's purpose is to introduce students to bioinformatics resources. We present an easy-to-adopt module that weaves together several important bioinformatic tools so students can grasp how these tools are used in answering research questions. Students integrate information gathered from websites dealing with anatomy (Mouse Brain Library), quantitative trait locus analysis (WebQTL from GeneNetwork), bioinformatics and gene expression analyses (University of California, Santa Cruz Genome Browser, National Center for Biotechnology Information's Entrez Gene, and the Allen Brain Atlas), and information resources (PubMed). Instructors can use these various websites in concert to teach genetics from the phenotypic level to the molecular level, aspects of neuroanatomy and histology, statistics, quantitative trait locus analysis, and molecular biology (including in situ hybridization and microarray analysis), and to introduce bioinformatic resources. Students use these resources to discover 1) the region(s) of chromosome(s) influencing the phenotypic trait, 2) a list of candidate genes—narrowed by expression data, 3) the in situ pattern of a given gene in the region of interest, 4) the nucleotide sequence of the candidate gene, and 5) articles describing the gene. Teaching materials such as a detailed student/instructor's manual, PowerPoints, sample exams, and links to free Web resources can be found at http://mdcune.psych.ucla.edu/modules/bioinformatics .

Abstract:
While many health interests worry about persistently high rates of cigarette smoking among college students, little research has tracked qualitative changes in student habits such as “social smoking.” A survey of 670 University of California, Santa Cruz, undergraduate students ages 18-43, mean age 20.6, found 57% of the weighted sample smoked cigarettes in the past year, compared to 37% of college undergraduates nationally and 34% of UCSC students’ parents. However, two-thirds of UCSC student smokers smoke socially (less than daily), compared to 60% of student smokers nationally and 16% of parent smokers. Half of UCSC social smokers report smoking less than an entire cigarette per occasion and 70% report smoking less today than in the past; the fraction who smoke heavily tend to have parents who smoke heavily. Students’ reports indicating their social smoking is an equilibrium behavior unlikely to lead to heavier smoking need longitudinal investigation.

Abstract:
The current economic downturn has resulted in constantly shrinking budgets and drastic staff reduction at the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) Library. Meanwhile, rapid shifting to digital formats as well as dramatic growth in social networking, mobile applications and cloud computing continues. To face these challenges, the Technical Services (TS) at the university library at UCSC need a transformation. This chapter discusses how the authors have adopted the strategy of maximizing technology in utilizing “robot-like” batch processing tools in house to minimize the risk of becoming ineffective or irrelevant. In aligning human resources to apply those tools to achieve our goals in tandem with the mission of the library, the authors learn to work with the various issues and the barriers that we have encountered during the past decade. The authors are examining the changes brought to the department through the process, highlighting a plan of action, and providing guidance for those interested in bringing about a technological transformation that will continue into the future.

Abstract I started taking piano lessons from my mother at the age of five and have been a serious amateur pianist all my life, mostly of chamber music. I have played most of the trios and quartets in the concert repertoire: Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Brahms, as well as Faure, Poulenc, and Copland. The high point of my pianistic career was playing-with considerable power and authority-Beethoven’s Second Piano Concerto with a Santa Cruz orchestra in 1988. Forty years ago I received my doctorate in sociology from the University of California at Berkeley. I taught first at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, then went to the University of California at Santa Cruz, and finally, in 1988, to the Graduate Center of the City University of New York. Research and teaching have been central in my life.

Abstract:
La presente comunicación recoge los resultados parciales de una estancia de investigación predoctoral realizada en el Center for Creative Ecologies de la University of California Santa Cruz, Estados Unidos. Partiendo de un análisis de los múltiples niveles de invisibilización de la crisis ecosocial contemporánea (Herrero 2013; Riechmann 2011), se exploran las intersecciones entre formas de arte vinculadas a la ecología y procesos colaborativos de creación. En concreto, haciendo referencia al potencial del arte para reconfigurar lo sensible y las formas de visibilidad (Rancière 2007) junto a su capacidad de abordar temas complejos como las problemáticas ambientales desde una perspectiva postantropocéntrica (Demos 2017), se examina el trabajo de artistas y colectivos actualmente activos en el continente americano como Carolina Caycedo (Colombia), The Harrison Studio (Estados Unidos) y Desert Art Lab (Estados Unidos). A través del análisis crítico de proyectos artísticos y entrevistas semiestructuradas con los artistas, se estudian la intencionalidad de los creadores y las diferentes estrategias colaborativas empleadas para hacer visibles los impactos del modelo extractivista, las luchas sociales para la preservación de los ecosistemas naturales y de los saberes indígenas y los procesos de resiliencia y adaptación de los organismos no-humanos a las alteraciones antropogénicas del clima. El contexto geopolítico escogido resulta particularmente significativo por la pervasividad del paradigma neoliberal y por la consecuente erosión de derechos, tanto sociales como ambientales, que lo ha caracterizado en las últimas décadas. Al mismo tiempo la presencia de movimientos contraculturales vinculados a la ecología, al feminismo y a la defensa de las culturas nativas de las Américas ha permitido el emerger de otras sensibilidades y modelos de convivencia que han alimentado e inspirado las expresiones artísticas estudiadas.

Abstract:
This special report discusses the outcomes of a September 2019 workshop intended to identify barriers to the consideration and implementation of natural and nature-based features (NNBF) in US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) civil works projects. A total of 23 participants representing seven USACE districts, the US Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC), and the University of California–Santa Cruz met at USACE’s South Atlantic Division Headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia, to discuss how to facilitate the implementation of NNBF into USACE project planning for wetlands and reefs using six categories: (1) site characterization, (2) engineering and design analysis, (3) life-cycle analysis, (4) economic analysis, (5) construction analysis, (6) and operation and maintenance (and monitoring). The workshop identified seven future directions in wetland and reef NNBF research and development: • Synthesize existing literature and analysis of existing projects to better define failure modes. • Determine trigger points that lead to loss of feature function. • Identify performance factors with respect to coastal storm risk management (CSRM) performance as well as ecological performance. • Focus additional research into cobenefits of NNBF. • Quantify the economic life-cycle costs of a project. • Improve technology transfer with regards to NNBF research and topics.

Full text
Abstract:
This report presents the results of the monitoring surveys done in 2019 and 2020 of the rocky intertidal community at three sites within the Redwood National and State Parks (RNSP) in Del Norte County, California. These sites are part of MARINe (Multi-Agency Rocky Intertidal Network), a regional intertidal monitoring network sponsored by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM), with additional funding and support from local and state governments, universities, and private organizations (see www.marine.ucsc.edu). Funding for annual monitoring in RNSP is provided by the National Park Service (NPS) Klamath Network (KLMN) through a cooperative agreement with the University of California at Santa Cruz (UCSC). Field sampling is accomplished through a collaborative effort between UCSC and RNSP staff. The 2019 and 2020 field crews each consisted of 4 UCSC biologists and three RNSP staff members. This monitoring program, adapted from MARINe protocols, was designed to identify and follow temporal trends in populations of the common and/or ecologically important organisms in the rocky intertidal community at three index sites within the RNSP. To accomplish this, sites are sampled once a year, and data are collected from permanent plots established to monitor changes in sessile invertebrates, algae, and the ochre sea star (Pisaster ochraceus), and from permanent transects to monitor surfgrass (Phyllospadix spp.) and sea palm (Postelsia palmaeformis). These data are utilized to determine annual status of the community and archived for future use to explore broader spatial and temporal trends. All of the monitored populations varied to some degree over the course of 2019?2020. The KLMN rocky intertidal monitoring program (?RNSP rocky intertidal monitoring program? in previous reports; Amman et al. 2022), which started in RNSP in 2004, continues to progress successfully. The procedures for data collection, data management, data analysis, and reporting are regularly assessed and have undergone some revisions based on the evolution of the monitoring program (Ammann and Raimondi 2008; protocol revision in progress [Eric Dinger, National Park Service ecologist, pers. comm., Jan 23, 2023]). As such, this year?s report follows on Amman et al. (2022) which introduced new reporting. Amman et al. (2022) and this report include broader scale biodiversity data collected through Coastal Biodiversity Survey protocol. These biodiversity data are sampled at 2 of the 3 sites every sampling period. This report differs from earlier annual reports in shifting from a full summary report, with in-depth analysis, to an administrative data summary report that does not contain in-depth analyses. Subsequent reports will follow this format. This report also reports on optional MARINe protocol data we collected that are not part of the KLMN rocky intertidal protocol (e.g., mussel sizes and sea palm measurements). Some of these optional data measurements may be discontinued in future years. More comprehensive trend analyses of the data are available in the program?s 5-year trend reports, the first of which included data through 2013 (Ammann et al. 2017) and the consecutive trend paper through 2018 (Lohse et al. in press).
