A grant to construct a “Model Farm” on Guam and the Virgin Islands was approved in 2000 by the USDA/CSREES/Initiative for Future Agriculture and Food Systems Program. The main goal was to establish an integrated model farm that had potential benefits for small agricultural enterprises operated by Asian-Pacific and Caribbean Islanders. University of Guam Triton Farm was established on 3.75 acres (1.5 ha) of the Agricultural Experiment Station. Initially we conducted a soil survey, and established windbreaks/hedgerows. We also built the foundation for aquaculture/aquaponic system, field irrigation systems, and animal production facilities. Then, we planted long-term fruit and ornamental plants while growing short-term vegetable crops for quick returns. Currently we raise tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus), goats (Capra hercus) and layer-chickens (Gallus gallus). We grow banana (Musa spp.), calamansi (X Citrofortunello mitis, hot peppers (Capsicum spp.), cucumbers (Cucumis sativus), lettuce (Lactuca sativa), eggplants (Solanum melongena), and Ti-leaf (Cordyline terminalis). We also try to develop value-added products using local produce. Occasionally we investigate other potential commodities and operational schemes for the farm. These must be suitable for Guam's agro-climate and social and economic structure. We focus on conservation of natural materials, composting, and sustainable agriculture. Education and outreach activity is also an important component of the farm to disseminate technologies and to educate young children about farming.

Abstract Background: Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related death among women in Guam. The breast cancer mortality rate is higher in Guam than in the U.S. (27.3 vs 20.3 per 100,000 women, age-adjusted, 2013-2017 data); even though the incidence rate remains lower (86.6 vs 126.8 respectively). Guam has major ethnic disparities in breast cancer survival with CHamoru (indigenous people) and Micronesian (immigrants from other Micronesian Islands) faring much worse than other ethnic groups. The purpose of this study was to determine the survival rates of breast cancer patients in Guam and examine the effects of demographic and other mortality risk factors on breast cancer survival. Methods: This study included 1105 women diagnosed with primary invasive breast cancer and reported to the Guam Cancer Registry from 1998-2020. Five-year and 10-year survival rates were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method and were compared using the log-rank test across different ethnic groups: CHamoru (N = 528), Filipino (N = 336), Asian (N = 66), Micronesian (N = 51), and Caucasian (N = 71). The Cox proportional hazards regression was used to investigate the effects of age, year of diagnosis, ethnicity, breast cancer staging, and cancer treatment status on the risk of all-cause mortality. Results: Mean age at diagnosis was 58.2 years. Significant differences in the 5-year and 10-year survival rates were found across ethnic groups. Micronesians had the lowest 5-year and 10-year survival rates (55.9% and 48.5%) followed by CHamorus (81.1% and 68.1%, respectively). All-cause mortality was higher among CHamoru (HR = 2.28, 95% CI: 1.65, 3.16) and Micronesian women (HR=5.33, 95% CI: 3.30, 8.61) compared with Filipino women after adjusting for age, year of diagnosis, staging, and cancer treatment status. All-cause mortality among White and Asian women was not statistically significantly different from that among Filipino women. Cancer staging also indicated significantly higher hazard rate for late-stage patients when compared to early-stage patients (HR = 3.62, 95% CI: 2.70, 4.85). Conclusion: The analysis suggests significant differences in breast cancer 5-year and 10-year survival rates across different ethnic groups, with Micronesian women exhibiting the highest hazard rate among women in Guam.

Sociocultural, geographic, and biologic factors contribute to cancer health disparities (CHDs) in Indigenous Pacific peoples (IPPs) in Guam, Hawai‘i, and the US Associated Pacific Islands (USAPI). IPPs experience a greater burden of CHDs that are associated with late-stage diagnosis and poor survival outcomes compared with majority populations in the United States. A 16-year partnership between the University of Guam (UOG) and University of Hawai‘i Cancer Center (UHCC) aims to advance health equity in Guam, Hawai‘i, and the USAPI through cancer research, training, and outreach. Investigators at collaborating institutions study issues of regional and cultural relevance in IPPs, including breast, cervical, liver, and oral cancers and use of tobacco and betel nuts (Areca nuts). Junior faculty with IPP ancestry or those who are focused on CHDs in IPPs receive mentorship and career development opportunities, academic fellowships are provided for graduate students, and Pacific Island communities are engaged through a participatory development process. The partnership has generated more than 90 peer-reviewed publications, more than 100 abstracts, and 11 grant awards. Thirty graduate scholars from under-represented minorities have been trained, including two who are now UOG faculty and are conducting independent research, contributing to the partnership, and mentoring scientists of tomorrow. Participatory community engagement has contributed to the passage of significant cancer prevention and control legislation in Hawai‘i, Guam, and Saipan. Research capacity at UOG has increased significantly, and research at UHCC has expanded to address issues unique to IPPs. Graduate students from under-represented minorities are pursuing careers in cancer research. A regional research infrastructure has been established to support team science, and research findings are informing public health policy and planning.

The Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21) has been used in various countries to assess the mental states of individuals. The objectives of this study were to validate the DASS-21 for use in Guam, an island that endures a high burden of mental health challenges, such as suicide, and examine the predictive impact of selected health indicators on DASS-21 variables. Three years of data (2017–2019) were pooled from the Pacific Islands Cohort of College Students (PICCS) study conducted annually at the University of Guam. In total, 726 students were included in the secondary data analysis. MPlus statistical software was used to perform a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) for the validation and structural equation modeling (SEM) for the predictive modeling. The results from the CFA suggested an acceptable model fit (RMSEA: 0.073, CFI: 0.901, TLI: 0.889, RMR: 0.044), while SEM suggested that sleep quality and physical activity were significant predictors of DASS-21 variables. Therefore, the DASS-21 is a valid instrument for measuring depression, anxiety, and stress among emerging adults in Guam.

Abstract Recent literature on new Taiwanese-Chinese immigrants to Western countries has focussed on those who have arrived since the late 1980s — but may not be staying permanently in their host countries — and have adopted a transnational residence pattern which requires them to engage in two or more social fields. Using autobiographical interviews, the author reconstructs the lives of early Taiwanese-Chinese immigrants in three different cities in Canada, and in Guam, an Unincorporated Territory of the US located in the insular western Pacific region. The three major research themes in this study pertain to reasons for and processes of migration, lived experiences, and self-identity. For this study, 46 Taiwanese-Chinese immigrants (24 in Canada and 22 in Guam) were selected from the available samples in the two respective regions where the author conducted extensive fieldwork in 2008-2011. Arriving mainly in the 1960s and 1970s, the early Taiwanese-Chinese immigrants to Canada and Guam survived various hardships, worked or established businesses from which they earned a steady income. Diligence, ingenuity and perseverance, as well as skills in entrepreneurship and social capital brought from Taiwan, served them well in their achievements in their new home countries in Canada and Guam. As young, well-educated university graduates or professionals at the time of immigration, sometimes re-migrating from another country, they developed significant language competency, social skills, and local knowledge in Canada and Guam. Having a strong sense of belonging, and identifying with the countries they have moved to, most of the Taiwanese-Chinese of Canada and Guam who took part in this study have become “permanent settlers” and some have even retired and remained in their host regions enjoying the multi-cultural environment. The current inquiry provides a timely case study of the meaningful diversity that is present among Taiwanese-Chinese permanent settlers, who are different from the transnational or circular migrants commonly found in the last three decades.

Wildfires on degraded grasslands cause extensive soil erosion and cause environmental and economic damage worldwide. We conducted fertilizer, lime, and mulch trials to improve growth of trees planted in acid soils in degraded grasslands on the Micronesian islands of Guam, Rota, and Yap. Fertilizer application had no effect on height growth of Acacia auriculiformis seedlings on a Mollisol on Guam while lime application had a small but significant positive effect on height growth. Fertilizer application had a significant positive effect on height growth of Acacia confusa seedlings planted on an Oxisol on Rota but lime had no effect. Mulch application increased height growth of Swietenia macrophylla seedlings planted on an Oxisol on Yap but lime application had no effect. Collaboration between university researchers and local forestry agencies can improve reforestation success, but researchers need to consider local capabilities and local knowledge.

Guam amyotrophic lateral sclerosis/parkinsonism-dementia complex is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by neuronal and glial tau pathologies. With the aim to evaluate aging-related tau astrogliopathy (ARTAG) we examined the collection at the University of Pennsylvania, consisting of blocks of the frontal parietal, temporal, and occipital cortices. Formalin fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue blocks were evaluated using anti-tau antibodies PHF-1 and AT8. In addition to neuronal and oligodendroglial tau pathology, granular/fuzzy astrocytes in the gray matter and thorn-shaped astrocytes (TSAs) in subpial location were also observed. Twenty-one out of 33 cases (63%) showed subpial TSAs diffusely along the cortical surface in one or more cortical regions. Accumulation of TSAs in the depth of the sulci were seen in 41% in the temporal, 7% in the frontal and 14% in parietal cortex. This was not associated with perivascular neuronal tau pathology in the depth of the sulci. Accumulation of TSAs in the depth of cortical sulci in this cohort is approximately 20 times more frequent than reported in a European aging cohort. The presence of subpial TSAs in the depth of cortical sulci in CTE and Guam PDC, and less frequently in aging brains, might suggest common mechanisms.Learning ObjectivesDescribe the spectrum of neuropathology in Guam ALS/PDCDescribe the frequency of tau positive cortical subpial thorn-shaped astrocytes

At the modern stage of economic development, under the conditions of deepening globalization, the use of correct logistics is becoming more and more relevant, which plays an important role in the development of trade relations between countries and ensuring correct fragmentation of the economy. Today, the situation is such that the presence of certain threats in sea transportation determines the high risk of the possibility of an increase in transportation prices, which is why its influence on price volatility is quite strong. Based on the current situation, the research of maritime logistics issues is becoming more and more relevant in this regard, because the analysis of quantitative indicators of shipments, determination of risk expectations, detection of trends, identification of problems, etc. is an indicator of increasing the effectiveness of maritime logistics. This issue becomes even more important when the issue concerns the activation of trade relations with groups of different countries of the world by sea transport. This process is actively taking place in Georgia today, which is a prerequisite for diversification of transportation by different types of transport and increasing its intensity in the future, and there are signs of this in the country. As of today, the geographical area of trade relations of Georgia in terms of types of transport is wide, although the quantitative characteristics of foreign trade are differentiated according to individual countries and groups of countries. The main goal of the paper was to identify and analyze the statistical trends of Georgia's foreign trade relations with EU, CIS, BSEC, OECD, GUAM, and EFTA countries. During the stages of statistical research, the methods of statistical observation, gathering-grouping, and analysis are used in the research process. Therefore, the article discusses studies and analyzes the dynamics of foreign trade relations of Georgia with EU, CIS, BSEC, OECD, GUAM, and EFTA countries groups by sea transport. The main statistical indicators of foreign trade turnover, export-import, local export re-export, and the characteristics of the commodity structure are analyzed according to all indicators. The main statistical trends of foreign trade with non-specified country groups are identified and regularities are established. Relevant conclusions are made. Conclusions. Foreign trade relations in Georgia are primarily carried out by road transport, although marine transport with a 32.6% share firmly occupies the second place in dynamics;In exports, the advantage of the use of road transport is evident, compared to imports. EU, CIS, BSEC, OECD, GUAM, EFTA countries, the rate of foreign trade by sea transport is increasing;In 2016-2023, on average, the share of the EU in foreign trade by country groups increased by 5.3%.Changing trends are observed in case of exports of EU, BSEC, OECD countries groups. From 2019, the predominant growth of the BSEC indicator was revealed, but in 2023, the EU was again the highest indicator with a share of 67.4%9 in export relations.In the case of imports to the EU, CIS, BSEC, OECD, GUAM, EFTA countries, there is a pronounced trend: the European Union is the undisputed leader in the group of mentioned countries. In 2016-2023, the EU's share of maritime transport imports grew by an average of 2.6% annually. The growth of EU indicators is recorded in local exports, while a completely different picture was revealed in re-exports of sea transport, due to the intensification of trade relations with the CIS countries.From these EU, CIS, BSEC, OECD, GUAM, EFTA countries, Motor cars, Petroleum and petroleum oils are the most imported to Georgia, the share of which in imports is 68% and 32%. Copper ores and concentrates are the most exported, whose share in the motor exports of EU, CIS, BSEC, OECD, GUAM, EFTA is 38% and 17%. No significant changes have been observed in the commodity structure of both exports and imports in recent years. Key words: Trends, Sea Transport, Export, Import, Country Groups.

This mixed-form essay examines the graduate student teacher (GST) by utilizing Augusto Boal’s concept of the spect-actor. This theatre concept is used to illuminate two distinct aspects of the graduate student-teachers’ persona: first their initiation into theoretical literacy, and second, their opportunity for vigorous critical, even revolutionary activism. An embedded graduate student essay explores the author’s personal GST experience within a larger frame of current U.S. university employment trends and against the author’s current university experiences and performances. This work asks: What kinds of power do GSTs command? What kinds of power are they bound by, in their simultaneous, hybrid performance of students and teachers? And, in light of the growing numbers of part-time and temporary faculty teaching at U.S. institutions, what are the ramifications of a shrinking minority of university faculty (the tenured) wielding primacy in institutional policy making and the creation and maintenance of the social and workplace culture? The essay concludes by exploring these issues at the author’s institution, the University of Guam.

Background: Pacific Islanders (PI) in Guam (GU), Hawaii (HI), and the U.S. associated Pacific Islands (USAPI) experience greater cancer health disparities compared with majority populations in GU, HI, and the U.S. continent. Social determinants including geographic, socio-cultural, and economic factors are barriers to health and health care, leading to late stage diagnosis and poor survival outcomes. PIs are also highly underrepresented among cancer researchers. Aim: The University of Guam (UOG)/University of Hawaii Cancer Center (UHCC) partnership aims to grow cancer research capacity at UOG, develop cancer health disparities research at UHCC focusing on Pacific Islanders (PI), raise awareness of cancer and cancer prevention in GU, HI and the USAPI, and increase the number of cancer and biomedical scientists of PI ancestry in the U.S. Methods: An infrastructure comprised of five principal investigators and approximately 30 participating faculty, administrative staff, and community and scientific advisory members, supported by funds from the National Cancer Institute and the partnering institutions, has provided 15 years of support for cancer research, training, and outreach designed to reduce cancer health disparities and advance health equity among Pacific Islanders in GU, HI and the USAPI. Results: Fifteen collaborative research projects have been funded through the partnership. Many of these projects have focused on the prevention of unhealthy lifestyle behaviors that lead to increased cancer risk. Prepilot, pilot and full research projects address cancer health disparities of regional relevance and global importance, notably breast, cervical and oral cancers as well as tobacco and betel nut use. A betel nut cessation intervention, the first of its kind, shows promising quit rates. This research has resulted in over 80 publications, 100+ abstracts, and 9 grant awards. The partnership has recruited and trained 26 underrepresented graduate scholars in cancer health disparities, including two scholars who have since joined UOG's faculty and are now independently conducting research, participating in the partnership as investigators, and mentoring tomorrow's scientists. UOG faculty and early stage investigators continue to receive mentorship and career development support. Outreach activities have contributed to the introduction and passage of significant cancer prevention and control legislation in Guam and Saipan. Outcomes are communicated through the partnership's Website, social media, and community reports and seminars. Conclusion: The partnership has significantly increased research capacity at UOG and cultivated interest in cancer research among underrepresented minority students at the partnering institutions. A regional research infrastructure has been established, and research findings are informing public health policy and planning. Resources have been leveraged to address PI cancer health disparities in GU, HI, and the USAPI.

While colonialism might have some positive effects on the economy in the short term, it definitely impedes socially and ecologically sustainable development. Based on expert interviews with representatives of various NGOs and university professors, the paper discusses the chances of socially sustainable development in Guam as one of the colonies left today. The results show that colonialism today is having no less negative impacts on sustainable development than in the past. The economic conditions may have improved for some people, but socioeconomic inequalities have hardly decreased. Within former communities as well as among newcomers, many families are disrupted, addiction and suicide have spread particularly among youths and the number of homeless people is increasing. It becomes very clear that colonial and postcolonial conditions have to be overcome as a precondition to sustainable development.Keywords: Colonialism, social and ecological sustainability, Pacific islands

Solar eclipses draw the attention of the general public to celestial events in the countries from which they are visible, and broad public education programs are necessary to promote safe observations. Most recently, a subcommittee of IAU Commission 46 composed of Julieta Fierro (from the National University of Mexico), the Canadian professor of optometry Ralph Chou (from the University of Waterloo) and me provided information about safe observations of the 24 October 1995 eclipse to people in Pakistan, India, Cambodia, Vietnam, and Guam. An important point is that there are advantages to seeing eclipses, including inspiration to students, and that people must always be given correct information. If scare techniques are used to warn people off eclipses, when it is later found out that the eclipse was not dangerous and, indeed, was spectacular, these students and other individuals will not trust warnings for truly hazardous activities like smoking, drugs, and behavior that puts one at risk for AIDS.

Abstract. With a well-selected data set, the various events of the vertical E × B drift velocity variations at magnetic-equator-latitudes, the resultant ionospheric features at low-and mid-latitudes, and the practical consequences of these E × B events on the equatorial radio signal propagation are demonstrated. On a global scale, the development of a equatorial anomaly is illustrated with a series of 1995 global TOPEX TEC (total electron content) maps. Locally, in the Australian longitude region, some field-aligned TOPEX TEC cross sections are combined with the matching Guam (144.86° E; 13.59° N, geographic) GPS (Global Positioning System) TEC data, covering the northern crest of the equatorial anomaly. Together, the 1998 TOPEX and GPS TEC data are utilized to show the three main events of vertical E × B drift velocity variations: (1) the pre-reversal enhancement, (2) the reversal and (3) the downward maximum. Their effects on the dual-frequency GPS recordings are documented with the raw Guam GPS TEC data and with the filtered Guam GPS dTEC/min or 1-min GPS TEC data after Aarons et al. (1997). During these E × B drift velocity events, the Port Moresby (147.10° E; - 9.40° N, geographic) virtual height or h'F ionosonde data (km), which cover the southern crest of the equatorial anomaly in the Australian longitude region, show the effects of plasma drift on the equatorial ionosphere. With the net (D) horizontal (H) magnetic field intensity parameter, introduced and called DH or Hequator-Hnon-equator (nT) by Chandra and Rastogi (1974), the daily E × B drift velocity variations are illustrated at 121° E (geographic) in the Australian longitude region. The results obtained with the various data show very clearly that the development of mid-latitude night-time TEC increases is triggered by the westward electric field as the appearance of such night-time TEC increases coincides with the E × B drift velocity reversal. An explanation is offered with the F-region dynamo theory and electrodynamics, and with the ionospheric-plasmaspheric coupling. A comparison is made with the published model results of SUPIM (Sheffield University Plasmasphere-Ionosphere Model; Balan and Bailey, 1995) and experimental results of Park (1971), and the good agreement found is highlighted.Key words.

Abstract Since 2003, the University of Hawai‘i Cancer Center (UHCC) and the University of Guam (UoG) have worked in partnership to explore health disparities/inequalities for different Pacific Island Populations (PIP). Investigators explore health behaviors and sources of health disparities and equity among Micronesian and Filipino community members in Hawai‘i, Guam, and the neighboring U.S. Associated Pacific Islands (USAPI) through the Pacific Island Partnership for Cancer Health Equity (PIPCHE). The Community Outreach Core of the partnership works towards objectives that include assisting and promoting PIPCHE research, ensuring inclusion PIP and Filipino community perspectives in research, and building healthcare providers’ competencies. This work aims to directly address the disproportionately high rates of cancer incidence and mortality found amongst these groups in Hawai‘i and Guam. Currently, few cancer control initiatives are designed to specifically address Micronesians and Filipinos, which comprise 40% of Hawai‘i’s population and 70% of Guam’s population. Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of death for men and the third leading cause of death for Filipinos in Hawai‘i. Also, Micronesians and Filipinos are highly underrepresented among cancer researchers and cancer health care professionals; culturally-grounded approaches to achieve parity in cancer control are sorely needed which remains a focus of the COC. To address the needs of the Filipino community in Hawai‘i, we conducted five semi-structured interviews with Filipino community members to facilitate community engagement, build relationships, and direct future areas for cancer control. Another goal was to establish a relationship-building process to recruit members for the COC Outreach Advisory Council to guide future community efforts. Participants ranged in age; however, all five identified as female were born in various parts of the Philippines, and migrated to Hawai'i at different ages. Some findings from the interviews included the need for culturally tailored and translated cancer materials and resources, a charge to focus on colorectal and breast cancer initiatives, and provide translated health communications utilizing local radio and faith-based organizations. These members were then asked to serve on our Outreach Advisory Council for a period of 5 years to help shape the COC’s efforts towards community engagement with the Filipino community. These planned community-focused efforts should be modeled to ensure shared community-based decision-making for this minority population.

Territorial marketing is a multifaceted scientific direction that includes elements of branding, use of digital technologies, performance evaluation and consideration of cultural factors. It is an important tool for territories' economic, social, cultural and ecological development. It helps attract investment, support local businesses, improve the quality of life for residents, preserve cultural heritage and promote sustainable development. The purpose of the article is to study the main trends in publishing activity on the subject of territory marketing. The authors have systematised the research areas of territory marketing: the conceptual foundations of territory marketing, territory branding strategies, the use of digital technologies in territory marketing, measuring the effectiveness of marketing campaigns, and the influence of cultural and social factors. With the help of the Scopus tools, the peculiarities of publication activity on territory marketing were investigated. For the period from 1990 to 2023, more than 1,573 publications were analysed. Italy, the USA, France, Spain, Great Britain, Australia, Portugal, India, and Canada are among the leading countries in publishing activity. Key subject areas include Social Sciences, Business, Management and Accounting, Economics, Econometrics and Finance, Environmental Science, Engineering, and Medicine. The most significant publications are affiliated with the Polytechnic Institute of Cávado and Ave, Portugal, the University of Guam, Guam Island, and Charles Darwin University, Australia. The authors conclude that socio-economic development and territorial development strategies focus on increasing competitiveness by preserving and using existing, as well as forming and implementing new competitive advantages, which determines the positioning of the territory. Given this, the relevant strategies for developing territories and cities should ensure the convergence of management and economic activities of the subjects of the territorial system, effective management of production infrastructure, and provision of consumer needs. In the face of global environmental challenges, marketing territories can contribute to promoting environmentally friendly technologies and practices. This helps to attract investments in sustainable projects and increase the population's environmental awareness.

Regardless of where schools are located, teachers face the challenge of teaching and mentoring children, not only in academic achievement but in social emotional development. When faced with challenges, young children are especially vulnerable because they lack the life experience and developmental maturity to adequately cope. Relying on the lead author's personal experiences in leading Guam's university teacher preparation program and in developing an early childhood education literacy program, this article demonstrates how teachers adapted popular Mother Goose nursery rhymes, tales, and local indigenous stories, making stories relevant to the local culture in Guam. Stories, specifically aligned with local cultures and traditions, are recommended as an intervention strategy to strengthen children's emerging literacy skills and to strengthen children's self-identity and resilience. In particular, offering opportunities for students to see oneself and one's culture in children's literature builds cultural esteem and a sense of community.

Full textAbstract:
Chromobacterium violaceum is a gram-negative rod and is isolated from soil and water in tropical and subtropical regions. The species have pigmented and nonpigmented colony types. Infections caused by nonpigmented strains are rare. We report on two cases of infection caused by both pigmented and nonpigmented strains of C. violaceum. Two 24-year-old Korea Airline stewardesses were admitted to Inha University Hospital, Inchon, South Korea, on 9 August 1997, 3 days after an airplane accident in Guam. Both had multiple lacerations on exposed parts of their bodies. There was swelling, tenderness, and pus discharge. The wounds contained many small fragments of stones and weeds. A pigmented strain was isolated from the left hand and a nonpigmented strain was isolated from the left knee of one patient. For the other patient only a nonpigmented strain was isolated from a foot wound. The nonpigmented colonies from the left-knee and the left-foot wounds did not produce any pigment even after an extended period of incubation. The biochemical characteristics were the same for each strain except for oxidase and indole reactions. The pigmented strain was oxidase negative and indole positive, whereas the nonpigmented strains were oxidase positive and indole negative. The patients were successfully treated by debridement and with appropriate antibiotics.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Background The Community Outreach Core (COC) of the Pacific Island Partnership for Cancer Health Equity (PIPCHE) aims to improve health equity for historically underserved populations including Native Hawaiians and other Pacific Islanders (NHOPIs), and Filipinos. PIPCHE is a partnership between the University of Hawai’i Cancer Center and the University of Guam whose efforts are focused in Hawaiʻi, Guam and the U.S. Affiliated Pacific Islands (USAPI). The COC directly addresses the disproportionately high rates of health disparities and cancer incidence and mortality found within NHOPIs often due to multiple complex historical, social, cultural, and environmental factors. Cancer is the second leading cause of death in Hawai’i between 2014-2018, as well as the second most common cause of death in nearly all USAPI jurisdictions. The COC uses research-tested, community-engaged approaches to modify determinants of cancer in these groups. Methods Outreach efforts have addressed NHOPI cancer inequities by raising awareness of high cancer burdens experienced by these underserved communities. Efforts include resource sharing and data collection at various venues in Hawaiʻi such as health/wellness fairs, public housing, and Pacific Islander churches. Outreach Advisory Council meetings were held biannually with community health leaders to discuss ongoing and future initiatives/resource sharing. The COC provided health providers and students with cultural competency training on more efficient strategies to work with these unique NHOPI groups. The COC provided presentations and short talks across the U.S, including a Health Providers Symposium on lung cancer across the Pacific. Outreach efforts have included tailored NCI-based Screen to Save (S2S) colorectal cancer education to NHOPIs. Results Forty-seven major outreach events were conducted from 2021 to November 2023. These include: 1 Health Providers’ Cancer Symposium, 5 Outreach Advisory Council meetings, 5 Cultural Competency trainings and class lectures, 11 conference/community and short talk presentations, and 25 community outreach events. There were 1,900 attendees reached during these regional and national outreach activities. The COC works with professional audiences at the national level to inform these groups about cancer and the health burdens of NHOPIs. A total of 97 Pacific Islanders received the S2S education and completed a pre-posttest with positive increases in means found for all 14 questions. Conclusion The PIPCHE COC has been able to reach NHOPIs though community partnerships to deliver culturally tailored cancer prevention education and efforts within Hawaiʻi, as well as shed light nationally of the cancer burdens these populations face. The S2S education has been able to raise awareness of cancer screenings and holds promise as a potential strategy to address cancer burdens of NHOPI communities.

Full textAbstract:
This pilot study examined the influence of cultural immersion on willingness to try fruits and vegetables (FV) among children 3–12 years old in three summer camps in Guam with different cultural exposure levels: cultural immersion camp (CIC), high exposure; university day camp (UDC), moderate exposure; and recreational sports camp (RSC), zero exposure. Children, ages 3–12 years old for CIC and UDC and 5–12 years old for RSC, participated: CIC (n = 47), UDC (n = 23), and RSC (n = 33). Children’s willingness to try FV was assessed with the Adapted WillTry tool before and after each program. Whole FV intakes were assessed concurrently using the mobile food record in CIC and UDC. Using multivariate regression, WillTry post-assessment outcomes were modeled adjusting for pre-assessment, child characteristics, exposure, and parent cultural affiliation. Unique to the Adapted WillTry tool are three FV scales, local novel, local common, and imported, which are classified by source (local or imported) and/or familiarity (novel or common). WillTry adjusted mean FV post-scores by highest exposure camp to lowest were 2.2, 2.3, and 2.2 for local novel and 2.6, 2.6, and 2.6 for local common. No differences among camps were significant; however, there was an increase in the willingness to try scores for all FV score types and camps. The Traditions pilot study demonstrated: (1) feasibility of a multi-arm parallel design using existing community programs in limited-resource environments and (2) further examination of nutrition education components and contexts are needed to understand diet behaviors of indigenous populations.

Timothy Jay Motley was born June 4th, 1965, to Roy and Joan (née Schaeffer) Motley, in Paxton, Illinois, USA. He grew up on a farm in east-central Illinois, and attended Armstrong-Ellis Grade School. He entered Eastern Illinois University in Charleston, Illinois, where he completed a Bachelor of Science in 1987 and a Master of Science in Botany in 1989, having written a dissertation on Sweet Flag (Acorus calamus). In 1996 he earned a Ph.D. in Botany at the University of Hawaii, Manoa; his dissertation on evolutionary and reproductive biology of Labordia (Loganiaceae). While in Hawaii, he developed a particular interest for the Pacific islands flora and for ethnobotany, two passions that he pursued for the rest of his life. Shortly after finishing his doctorate, he worked at The New York Botanical Garden (NYBG) as Post-Doctoral Research Associate (1997−1998), Assistant Curator (1998−2004), Acting Chair (1999−2000; 2001−2002), and Project Head of Conservation Genetics in Island Systems (1998−2006) in the Lewis B. and Dorothy Cullman Program for Molecular Systematics Studies. While working for NYBG, he travelled widely in regions where his projects would take him, mostly in the South Pacific, and visited the Kingdom of Tonga, Rapa Iti, Bora Bora, Papua New Guinea, Guam, Pohnpei, Fiji, Mauritius, Reunion, Vanuatu, Philippines, Jamaica, New Zealand, New Caledonia, Hawaii, and Tahiti. In 2006, he was hired as the J. Robert Stiffler Distinguished Professor of Botany and Associate Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences, Old Dominion University, and as the Director of Science at the Norfolk Botanical Garden, Norfolk, Virginia. During this period, he continued his expeditions to study and collect plants in the South Pacific and beyond, including Ecuador, the Galapagos Archipelago, Singapore, Brunei Darussalam, Mexico, the Louisiade Archipelago, and yearly field trips to underexplored regions of China. Sadly, after suffering a sudden cardiac arrest, he passed away on March 28, 2013, at age 47, at the peak of his career, leaving his wife, young son, and numerous colleagues and friends. His numerous ongoing projects, which are currently being continued by his graduate students and colleagues around the world, assure that his scientific legacy, his loving character, and his integrity will never be forgotten.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: To truly improve health equity and accessibility, we must develop a diverse and inclusive workforce. The BUILD EXITO program developed as a collaboration between a network of undergraduate programs and a CTSA hub and now has become a sustainable resource that will outlive NIH funding. We will disseminate our successful model. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: The BUILD EXITO program has completed 10 years of NIH funding, a partnership between OCTRI and Portland State University (PSU), to create a new model of research training for underrepresented and disadvantaged students. This model provides an opportunity to learn about clinical and translational research academic careers; participate in a research enhancement and professional development curriculum;have a long-term authentic research experience; and receive enhanced mentorship. BUILD EXITO includes PSU, and local and 3 US Pacific territory 2-year colleges. We have developed a sustainable plan that includes these core elements after NIH support for the program ends. We have tracked long-term student outcomes for entry into graduate programs and the research workforce. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: We will describe the experimental model and the network of university and community colleges in BUILD EXITO, including PSU, U of Alaska, and colleges in US territories of Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, and American Samoa. All these universities and colleges have high proportions of underrepresented and disadvantaged students. We will present data on characteristics of the >600 students who have participated in BUILD EXITO to demonstrate the diversity of the cohort. We will also describe 4-year degree completion, engagement in the research workforce, and entry into graduate or professional programs. We will show how this has positively affected faculty inclusion of students in research, institutional policies at the 2-year and 4-year programs, and how this model has become sustainable. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: The BUILD EXITO program developed as a collaboration of the CTSA hub at OHSU and a highly diverse undergraduate programs. We have developed a successful model for training a diverse research workforce and will disseminate this sustainable model.

Abstract. Tropical-tropopause-layer cirrus clouds and their radiative effects represent a major uncertainty in the evaluation of Earth’s energy budget. High-altitude aircraft offer an opportunity to provide observations at cirrus cloud altitudes, most commonly using in situ measurements of ice particle optical properties and composition. In particular, remote sensing of scattering properties and near-IR ice water absorption in the limb can provide unique insights into thin and sub-visible cirrus clouds. Here we present novel spectroscopic observations of path-averaged ice water absorptions on board NASA’s Global Hawk aircraft during the Airborne Tropical TRopopause Experiment (ATTREX), which took place in 2011, 2013, and 2014. The University of California Los Angeles and University of Heidelberg mini-differential optical absorption spectroscopy (mini-DOAS) instrument provided multi-angle limb-scanning observations of scattered solar radiation in the near-IR (900–1726 nm), allowing the identification of ice and liquid water, O2, CO2, and H2O. The VLIDORT-QS radiative transfer (RT) code was specifically developed for this study and used to simulate high-altitude limb observations for varied cloud scenarios. We performed a comprehensive sensitivity study, developing a fundamental understanding of airborne near-IR limb observations of cirrus clouds. We identified two general distinct cases: a linear regime for optically thin clouds, where the ice absorption is proportional to ice water content (IWC), and a regime for optically thick cirrus clouds, where ice absorption is in saturation and independent of IWC. Results also demonstrate how molecular oxygen absorption can be used to infer information on optical properties of ice particles in the second regime only, with minimal information for thin cirrus clouds. We also explored the feasibility of retrieving IWC from mini-DOAS path-averaged ice water absorption (SIWP) measurements. This innovative interpolation-based approach requires a small number of RT calculations per observation to determine the sensitivity of SIWP to IWC. Spectral retrievals were applied for a particularly interesting case during Science Flight 2 over Guam in February 2014, during which the aircraft flew in circles in the same general area for an extended period of time. Retrieved IWC results are consistent with independent in situ measurements from other instruments on board. The measurements of ice particle scattering and absorption at different azimuths relative to the sun and at different altitudes represent a unique opportunity to test our approach and to infer properties of the ice particles, together with information on cirrus cloud radiative transfer.

In recent years, russian intelligence agencies have demonstrated the capability to overcome security measures even in well-protected companies and government networks worldwide, including the security system of the U. S. military base on Guam. According to estimates from the Security Service of Ukraine, russia is currently carrying out around 10 cyber attacks on Ukraine daily. Therefore, the training of cybersecurity professionals for our country, especially in the sector of security and defense in Ukraine, is now an urgent and relevant task. Establishing a robust information security system for critical infrastructure objects is a crucial element of the defense strategy of any country. According to the Military Security Strategy of Ukraine, approved by the President’s Decree on March 25, 2021, enhancing the capabilities of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, territorial defense forces, and other components of defense forces to fulfill assigned tasks is a specific priority. One practical direction in implementing this priority is the development of capabilities in ensuring cyber security, cyber protection, and cyber defense, countering aggression in cyberspace during the preparation and conduct of comprehensive defense in Ukraine. Furthermore, the Law of Ukraine “On Education” defines information and communication competence as one of the key competencies of a modern individual. Therefore, this article addresses the timely topic of improving the organization of training for the leadership of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine in the field of ensuring cyber security for the state. The article discusses the tasks of a cyber range and justifies practical ways of their implementation. The experience of some higher education institutions in Ukraine regarding the organizational and technical structure of a cyber range is presented. Using these institutions as examples, the creation of a cyber range at the National Defense University of Ukraine for the training of cyber defense specialists for the Armed Forces of Ukraine and conducting cyber exercises with them is proposed. The article develops proposals regarding its functional structure.

Full textAbstract:
Globally there is an increasing focus on green and sustainability practice within university campuses. However, this is not the case in Malaysia. This paper proposes a green maturity framework for Malaysian universities based on having identified criteria for achieving greener university campus relevant to Malaysian context. Additionally, obstacles faced by universities in the development of green university campuses are identified. Two sets of questionnaire survey forms were used to collect data. The questionnaire for identifying green campus rating criteria to form the Green University Campus Maturity (GUCM) Assessment Tool based on 9 categories was distributed to GBI facilitators. The criteria’s weightage for scoring was based on the average level of importance as decided by the respondents. The questionnaire for identifying the obstacles faced by universities (Areas to Address) was categorized into economic, organizational and social/behavioural/technical and distributed to the respective Department of Sustainable Development staff in public universities. Lack of relevant managerial experience in implementing green university projects and lack of funding were found to be the main obstacles in the development of green university campus. The GUCM Assessment Tool alongside the Areas to Address can be used as a county-specific GUCM framework for achieving progressive sustainability attainment by Malaysian universities.

Guar gum is a polymer that is widely used as a gelling agent for technological liquids in the petroleum industry. In this paper, we have studied the potential for the environmentally friendly biodegradation of guar gum by enzymes of basidiomycetes for efficient disposal of oil industry wastes. For the first time, we compared the enzymatic activity towards guar gum of seven basidiomycete strains, namely Trametes hirsuta MT-24.24, Lactarius necator, Trametes hirsuta MT-17.24, Schizophyllum commune MT-33.01, Fomes fomentarius MT-4.05, Fomitopsis pinicola MT-5.21, and Trametes versicolor It-1. This comparison showed that the preparation based on Fomitopsis pinicola MT-5.21 fungal mycelium at a concentration of 0.05% provides the most efficient decomposition of a frac fluid containing guar gum. By varying the enzyme concentration in this fluid it is possible to control the decrease in its viscosity over time. The developed enzyme preparation is an efficient and environmentally friendly guar gum biodegradant and can be used to process waste fracturing fluids based on polysaccharides in order to reuse water resources. Key words: biodegradants, basidiomycetes, guar gum, enzymatic hydrolysis, enzyme destructors, fracturing fluids.

Porous, interconnected nonwoven nanofiber membranes (average diameter 194?23 nm) were electrospun from a homogeneous blend of 1wt% guar gum and 8wt% polyvinyl alcohol solution (3:7 weight ratio) containing 5 wt% (by the total weight of the solution) citric acid. The electrospun nanofiber membranes were then cured at 140 oC for 2 h. The crosslinked nanofiber membranes were insoluble in water, while the non-crosslinked membranes dissolved instantaneously. FT-IR spectrum investigates that crosslinking of guar/PVA occurred through esterfication reaction during heat treatment.

Abstract At the Experimental Farm (Ghazala Farm) of the Agric. Fac., Zagazig University, Egypt, two field experiments were conducted through the two successive summer seasons in 2019 and 2020. This was an effort to improve the guar plant’s yield and productivity. The experiment was set up as a split-plot design with NPK fertilization as the main plot and bio-fertilization as the sub-plot. The Bradyrhizobium spp. inoculation rates were (0.0, 200 and 400 g/feddan), while the NPK fertilization levels were (0.0, 75, 100, and 125% of recommended level). Ammonium sulphate (20.5% N) at 200 kg/feddan, calcium super phosphate (15.5% P2O5) at 200 kg/feddan, and potassium sulphate (48% K2O) at 100 kg/feddan were the NPK fertilization recommended rates (RR). The obtained results showed that, in comparison to control and the other levels under study, guar plants fertilized with 125% RR significantly increased yield components as well as total carbohydrates content, and NPK percentages in seeds and guaran production. Additionally, compared to the control and lowest inoculation rates of Bradyrhizobium, the maximum inoculation rate (400 g/feddan) considerably recorded the highest values of all the aforementioned parameters. The majority of the study’s findings demonstrated that fertilized guar plants with 125% RR of NPK fertilization, together with 400 g/feddan of Bradyrhizobium inoculation rate, might aid to improve guar plant (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba Taub.) yield, chemical constituents and guaran production.

Though millennial has unique characteristics as digital natives who prefer to interact with images, branded goods, to have idols and who are interested in modern technological utilization, studying their career decision-making difficulties (CDMD) is barely reported in Indonesia. To respond to such gap, the current report was designed to pattern the CDMD of both male (N = 120) and female (N = 140) undergraduate students in Indonesia. The instrument of the research was totally adopted from Gati et al's. (1996) career decision-making difficulties questionnaire. Descriptive anaylsis showed that the male (M = 4.93) have higher difficulties than the females (M = 4.85). With different levels of difficulties, the current study, therefore, corresponds to Mau's (2004), Guan et al's. (2015), and di Fabio, Palazzeschi, Levin, Levin, and Gati's (2015) reports.

Abstract High feed cost is a major economic concern in animal production industries, largely due to the increasing global demands for foods, feeds, and biofuels. Animal producers, especially animal nutritionists, have been searching for alternative feedstuffs to reduce the feed cost. Guar meal is the main by-product from the guar (Cyamopsis tetragonoba L.) gum industry. Although said to be unpalatable and maybe toxic, the new guar meal products, such as GuarPro F-81, possess promise to be alternatives for feeding animals, mainly because they contain great amounts of protein and carbohydrates and are inexpensive. The proximate nutrient values and amino acid profile of GuarPro F-81 have been previously reported, and this study was conducted to test the hypothesis that the mineral contents of GuarPro F-81 are comparable to that of soybean meal. Three GuarPro F-81 samples were randomly collected from a guar meal production company in India and aliquoted to 30 to 100 g/sample after arrival for analysis in four university and commercial laboratories. The results showed that GuarPro F-81 contained (as-fed basis; mean ± SD, n = 4) 0.22 ± 0.015% calcium, 0.77 ± 0.022% phosphorus, 0.40 ± 0.023% magnesium, 1.67 ± 0.079% potassium, 0.016 ± 0.012% sodium, 249 ± 42.8 ppm iron, 21.3 ± 1.78 ppm manganese, 72.8 ± 9.00 ppm zinc, and 11.5 ± 7.25 ppm copper. The sulfur content was 0.54 ± 0.177% (n = 2) and the nickel content was 5.30% (n = 1). When compared with soybean meal (dehulled, solvent extracted), the contents of iron, magnesium, zinc, sulfur, and phosphorus in GuarPro F-81 are approximately 154, 50, 49, 34, and 8% greater, respectively, while the contents of copper, potassium, calcium, manganese, and sodium are approximately 24, 25, 34, 40, and 80% less, respectively. Nonetheless, the bioavailabilities of these minerals warrant further investigation.

Full textAbstract:
The main objective of this study was to formulate orodispersible tablets of Dimenhydrinate for quick relief of emesis. Orodispersible tablets were prepared by direct compression method using co-processed super-disintegrants. Co-processed super-disintegrants are the mixture of crospovidone and guar gum in different ratios. The powder mixtures and tablets were subjected to various pre-compression and post-compression evaluations. IR spectroscopy showed no interaction between drug and other excipients. Angle of repose and Carr’s index was found in the range of 23.89°-28.27° and 23.29-15.48 respectively. These results indicated that powder mixtures showed good to acceptable flow properties. All formulations containing co-processed super-disintegrant showed short disintegration time (38.23-17.67 s) and maximum water absorption ratio 73.39%-91.35% compared to control formulation (3.54 min wetting time). Among all formulation F7 containing crospovidone: guar gum in 1:3 ratio showed highest percentage of drug release (98.89%) in 30 min, which is due to high degree of swelling caused by guar gum along with rapid hydration of tablets by crospovidone. Formulation F7 was subjected for 3 months of stability studies; results reviled that the tablet formulation was stable throughout the study period. In conclusion the obtained results suggested that orodispersible tablets of Dimenhydrinate with rapid disintegration and fast drug release can be successfully formulated by employing co-processed super-disintegrants.

Full textAbstract:
This study examines synchronous computer-mediated communication (SCMC) discourse in a bilin-gual chat setting consisting of Spanish-speaking learners of English and English-speaking learners of Spanish. Participants were members of a telecollaboration involving 80 students at North Carolina State University and the University of Puerto Rico. Data were derived from two chat groups, one of four students and the other of five students, engaged in nine 1-hour chat sessions (a half hour in English and a half hour in Spanish). The ecological affordance construct (van Lier, 1996, 2000) frames three research questions: (a) What types of linguistic affordances emerge in the bilingual chat sessions? (b) How do learners respond to linguistic affordances provided by native speakers? and (c) What are learners' perceptions regarding linguistic affordances in their chat discourse? Find-ings reveal that participants provide a range of affordances to each other, although affordances ap-pear to have a limited role in the overall telecollaborative context.

This intriguing volume is a direct challenge to Theda Skocpol's States and Social Revolutions (1979); by inserting "ideology" into the title, Parsa claims that Skocpol left out something important. He makes good on his effort to dem- onstrate the importance of ideology in recent Third World revolutions, but the book offers far more than that. Several authors have compared the Iranian and Nicara- guan revolutions, which occurred in 1979, but to my knowl- edge this is the first book-length treatment to add the Philippines revolution against Ferdinand Marcos in 1986.

This aims of this article is to identify the profile and degree of productivity of researchers in University Management in the periodical University Management in Latin America (GUAL), in the five-year time frame (2012-2017). For this purpose, the principles of Lotka's bibliometric Law, also known as the Lotka's Inverse- Square Law (1/n2), as well as the adjustment of the Inverse-Square proposed by Price (1/n3) were used methodologically to degree of productivity of researchers in the area. The information to trace the professional profile of the researchers was collected in the Lattes Platform of the National Council of Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq). The main results indicated that there is a strong collaboration between the authors in the development of the research and that the majority of researchers in the field are male. They also showed that universities are the institutions that most develop research on the subject and that there are indications of the existence of an elite of researchers on University Management. The results demonstrated that the studied researchers are mostly master and doctoral teachers, graduates or post-graduates in administration. The results indicate that the researchers are qualified and that they possess technical and / or scientific knowledge about the management of complex institutions, being able to contribute with the development of management models or management support tools.

ABSTRACT
The present article analyses the paraense student movement during the military regime from 1964 to 1985, as well as its alternative press, an important channel of communication through which strategic information of mobilizations and actions of the category, contrary to the new established order, circulated. The performance of two newspapers elaborated by the Federal University of Pará (UFPA) students are highlighted: O Papagaio (1967) and Nanico (1979). The university students found, in this press, a way of making the persecutions suffered in the Guamá campus, involving students and professors considered subversive, known. In the pages of this press there was also the denial of the education bank conception (FREIRE, 2011) which deformed the educational creativity. This article is part of the “Mídias Alternativas na Amazônia” project that is mapping small forms of counter hegemonic communication.
KEYWORDS: Students movement, alternative press, military regime.
RESUMEN
En este artículo se analiza el movimiento estudiantil paraense durante la dictadura militar de 1964 a 1985 y su prensa alternativa, importante canal de comunicación a través del cual circula la información movilizaciones y acciones de la categoría contraria al nuevo orden establecido estratégicas. Se destacan en este trabajo, las actuaciones de dos documentos producidos por los estudiantes de la Universidad Federal de Pará (UFPA): O Papagaio (1967) y Nanico (1979). La universidad se encuentra en este comunicado de prensa, una manera de hacer que el público sufrió persecución en el campus de Guamá, la participación de profesores y estudiantes consideradas subversivas. En estas páginas de la prensa no fue la negación del concepto de banca de la educación (FREIRE, 2011), lo que distorsiona la creatividad educativa. Este artículo forma parte del proyecto de investigación Medios Alternativos en la Amazonia, que es la cartografía formas de comunicación contra hegemónico en la región.

Full textAbstract:
The herbarium digitization process is an essential first step in transforming the vast amount of data associated with a physical specimen into flexible digital data formats. In this framework, the Herbarium of the University of Pisa (international code PI), at the end of 2018 started a process of digitization focusing on one of its most relevant collections: the Herbarium of Michele Guadagno (1878–1930). This scholar studied flora and vegetation of different areas of southern Italy, building a large herbarium including specimens collected by himself, plus many specimens obtained through exchanges with Italian and foreign botanists. The Herbarium is composed by 547 packages of vascular plants. Metadata were entered into the online database Virtual Herbaria JACQ and mirrored into a personalized virtual Herbarium of the Botanic Museum. After the completion of the digitization process, the number of sheets preserved in the Herbarium amounts to 44,345. Besides Guadagno, who collected 42% of his specimens, a further 1,102 collectors are represented. Most specimens were collected in Europe (91%), but all the continents are represented. As expected, Italy is the most represented country (59%), followed by France, Spain, Germany, and Greece. The specimens cover a time span of 99 years, from 1830 to 1929, whereas the specimens collected by Guadagno range between 1889 and 1928. Furthermore, we traced 134 herbarium sheets associated with documents, among which 75 drawings handmade by Guadagno, 34 letters from various corresponding authors, 16 copies of publications, and 14 copies of published iconographies.

Full textAbstract:
The article explores Jiang Menglin’s philosophy of life and his notion of rensheng guan (“view on life”) in the period between his studies in the USA and the year of the May Fourth events in 1919. In the first part, the paper traces the origins of Jiang’s idea back to the then-prevalent version of pragmatism propagated by John Dewey and other pragmatist thinkers gathered at Columbia University, while in the subsequent parts it aims to illuminate the later developments of Jiang’s own version of pragmatism in the context of the May Fourth intellectual discourse. While the article aims at presenting a positive outline of Jiang’s philosophy, it also endeavours to expose its less explicit aspects through its apophatic (exposition by negation or denial) expositions in Jiang’s writings from the period. Finally, it focuses on Jiang’s contributions to the debate on suicide that developed after Lin Deyang’s suicide in November 1919.
