As in many fields, the myth of the lone creative genius simply does not hold true for those creating children’s books.While in traditional publishing, the writer and the illustrator of picture books are normally not in contact, both must work collaboratively with their editors and art directors on book projects and often rely on feedback from critique groups of their peers to enrich their creative work.Yet what happens when your partner in life is also a writer or illustrator? Children and Libraries introduces a new series, Couples Who Collaborate, looking at the dynamic duos in children’s publishing. We begin our series with Wisconsin-based husband-and-wife team Baptiste and Miranda Paul.

Through the lenses of Critical GIS and political economy, this paper examines the history of the Wisconsin Land Information Program (WLIP), which was created in 1989 and provides an early US example of the adoption of GIS at the local government level. Using a mixed methods approach and a case study design, the authors focus on the cooperation and conflicts among various actors and networks, at and between scales, during times of plentiful and lean resources. Catalyzed by the 1978 Larsen Report, the WLIP was unique in its inclusiveness of everyone involved in land records management. University academics brought together all the stakeholders to create a thematic and territorial network with political power and a unique funding mechanism. As land use planning and state budget deficits became prominent, the program became a target, leading to conflict and power struggles, particularly with the state Department of Administration (DOA). What began as an egalitarian, grass-roots, socially just, forward-thinking program has shape-shifted, and while the WLIP is still a viable and functioning program, its egalitarian goals have been subverted by economics.

Full textAbstract:
Voter registration is thought to have a substantial negative effect on American voter turnout. The authors clarify this understanding in two ways. First, using a natural experiment in Wisconsin, they estimate the pure effect of registration, stripped of aspects such as the closing date. Registration lowers turnout by about 2 percentage points. Second, the authors argue that administrative capacities of local election officials are important moderators of how much registration affects turnout. Municipalities with less capacity are associated with bigger decreases in turnout. Researchers and policy makers should consider administrative capacity as a component in the equal application of voting laws.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Background Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a serious threat to global health with local implications. AMR varies regionally; however, limited tools are available to aid practitioners in appropriate antibiotic selection based on statewide antimicrobial susceptibilities. The objective of this study was to map E. coli antibiotic susceptibility regionally and longitudinally in Wisconsin. Methods. Antibiograms from 2009, 2013, and 2015 were collected from health systems, hospitals, and clinics in Wisconsin, resulting in 218 antibiograms representing 201,091 Gram-negative isolates. E. coli antibiotic susceptibility percentages were weighted by number of isolates and aggregated by county per year. Results. Spatial interpolation methods (inverse distance weighted, Kriging) were tested by both county center points and facility geocode where available. Susceptibility data for clinically relevant urinary tract infection antibiotics were interpolated to create geographic visualizations of AMR in Wisconsin. Antibiotics included amoxicillin, trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole, ciprofloxacin, nitrofurantoin, ampicillin, ampicillin/sulbactam, levofloxacin. The interpolation extends to the furthest health system point in each direction and is presented within state boundaries. Facility geocodes were masked from public display for confidentiality. City names were added for orientation. The mapping depicts regional differences, such as 2015 ampicillin susceptibilities ranging 55–64% (Figure 1). The maps provide a preliminary susceptibility prediction in areas where no AMR data were available. Average susceptibilities were compared across 2009, 2013, and 2015 to map areas with the highest rates of AMR change. Conclusion. The described mapping provides a novel visualization of AMR across Wisconsin. The maps created will be utilized in continued efforts to improve the functionality of AMR data in clinical practice to optimize antimicrobial choice.

Full textAbstract:
This review describes a research program aimed at evaluating the validity and specificity of the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST), one of the most widely used tests of prefrontal function in clinical and experimental neuropsychology. In spite of its extensive use, voices of caution have arisen against the use of WCST scores as direct markers of prefrontal damage or dysfunction. Adopting a cognitive neuroscience approach, the present research program integrates behavioral, physiological, and anatomical information to investigate the cognitive and neural mechanisms behind WCST performance. The results show that WCST performance evokes conspicuous physiological changes over frontal as well as posterior brain regions. Moreover, WCST scores confound very heterogeneous cognitive and neural processes. This confounding effect may have led many authors to overlook the relative importance of certain dysfunctional states such as those indexed by random errors. These findings strongly suggest that WCST scores cannot be regarded as valid nor specific markers of prefrontal lobe function. However, they do provide some relevant clues to update our current knowledge about prefrontal function. In the long run, the integrative approach of cognitive neuroscience may help us design and develop more valid and sensitive tools for neuropsychological assessment.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Background A 2014 survey demonstrated that fewer than 10% of Wisconsin (WI) Nursing Homes (NHs) used an antibiogram. In 2016, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services released regulations requiring NHs to track and report their antibiotic-related outcomes. The impact these regulations will have on the development and use of antibiograms in NHs is unknown. Methods To characterize antibiogram use in WI NHs, a mixed-methods approach was used consisting of two statewide surveys, a combination of semi-structured interviews with key NH personnel, and a structured survey administered to providers in a sample of facilities using an antibiogram. Answers to questions included on statewide surveys administered in 2014 and 2018 were used to assess change in antibiogram use over time. Semi-structured interviews with key NH personnel focused on antibiogram development and dissemination. Structured surveys of providers focused on their awareness of antibiogram existence and the extent to which it influenced their prescribing behavior. A copy of the antibiogram was obtained from some facilities to assess consistency with Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) recommendations. Results Antibiogram use in WI NHs increased from 9.3% in 2014 to 32.5% in 2018. The majority of antibiograms were not facility-specific, primarily due to inadequate numbers of isolates at individual facilities. Most facilities reported that antibiogram tools were updated annually, and most made an effort to disseminate them to prescribers. However, 30% of surveyed prescribers reported being unaware of the existence of an antibiogram and only 40% reported it influenced their prescribing decisions. Review of antibiograms provided by NHs revealed that all were created using the traditional “drug-bug” format; however, none were fully compliant with CLSI recommendations. Conclusion Antibiogram use in WI NHs increased significantly between 2014 and 2018. The majority of antibiograms used in WI NHs are not based on facility-specific data. A substantial number of providers are unaware of the existence of an antibiogram in their facility and only a minority felt that it impacted their prescribing decisions. More research is needed on how to increase antibiogram utility in NHs. Disclosures All authors: No reported disclosures.

Small phosphatic fossils recovered from acid residues of the Galena Group Middle (Ordovician) of Wisconsin were recently described by Clark et al. (1999) as weird things. Here, we report that specimens identified by those authors as Thing 3 and Thing 6 are fragments of conulariids belonging to two species that occur widely through Middle Ordovician strata of eastern North America. Similarly disintegrated, conspecific specimens from the Trenton Limestone of northwestern Indiana, and articulated, conspecific specimens from Ohio and New York, are introduced for comparison.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Background Wisconsin is one of a handful of states in which laboratory identification of nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) from clinical samples is reportable to public health. The aims of this study were to characterize the demographic features of Wisconsin adults with NTM, assess the relative abundance of NTM species recovered, and describe trends in NTM isolation over the study period. Methods We conducted a retrospective cohort study of Wisconsin residents 18 years of age and older from whom NTM isolates were recovered and reported to the Wisconsin Electronic Disease Surveillance System (WEDSS) between 2010 and 2018. Isolates of M. gordonae were excluded. For the analysis of NTM frequency, multiple reports from the same individual were enumerated as separate isolates when non-identical or collected from different sites. Because NTM were usually reported into WEDSS without clinical data, this study couldn’t discern the clinical significance of the isolates. Results A total of 9,032 NTM isolates from 7,722 adults were analyzed. The average annual number of reported NTM cases was 950 (21.7/100,000 adults) during 2011-2018. Table 1 shows the demographic characteristics of individuals with NTM isolates, stratified by specimen collection site and NTM species. M. avium complex (MAC) accounted for 75.7% of respiratory isolates. An important pathogenic NTM, M. xenopi, accounted for 8.9% of non-MAC respiratory isolates. As shown in Table 2, M. chelonae, a rapidly growing mycobacteria (RGM), was the most common species isolated from skin and soft tissue, head, ears, nose and throat, and eye specimens. MAC was the most common isolate from other tissue sites. Table 1. Demographic characteristics of individuals with NTM isolates. Categorization was based upon the initially recovered sample when multiple samples were obtained from a given individual. “Respiratory” samples included sputum, bronchoalveolar lavage, and tracheal aspirate specimens. IQR, interquartile range. RGM, rapidly growing mycobacteria (M. chelonae and the M. abscessus, M. chelonae-abscessus, and M. fortuitum groups). SST, skin and soft tissue. Table 2. Most common NTM species isolated from non-respiratory sites. *’Respiratory specimens’ was inclusive of sputum, bronchoalveolar lavage, and tracheal aspirate specimens. CNS, central nervous system. HENT, head, ears, nose, or throat. SST, skin and soft tissue. Conclusion Consistent with prior studies, MAC is the predominant NTM isolated from respiratory specimens in Wisconsin. RGM are important minority respiratory pathogens, and predominate as skin and soft tissue NTMs. We highlight M. xenopi as an important pathogen in Wisconsin compared to other parts of the United States. In contrast to recent reports of increasing incidence of NTM disease, we found a stable annual incidence of NTM isolation between 2010 and 2018. Disclosures All Authors: No reported disclosures

Full textAbstract:
This article presents a new adaptive algorithm called FS-SLOA (Feature Selection-Seven Spot Ladybird Optimization Algorithm) which is a meta-heuristic feature selection method based on the foraging behavior of a seven spot ladybird. The new efficient technique has been applied to find the best subset features, which achieves the highest accuracy in classification using three classifiers: the Naive Bayes (NB), the Nearest Neighbors (KNN) and the Support Vector Machine (SVM). The authors' proposed approach has been experimented on four well-known benchmark datasets (Wisconsin Breast cancer, Pima Diabetes, Mammographic Mass, and Dermatology datasets) taken from the UCI machine learning repository. Experimental results prove that the classification accuracy of FS-SLOA is the best performing for different datasets.

This chapter employs irony as a tool to make clearer the workings of one form of the e-politics of food, namely, the structural food oppression linked to the weight and shape of the female body. The authors argue that the e-politics of the weight and shape of the female body is one of the most important incarnations of the e-politics of food and one of the most vigorously contested. This chapter examines many forms of public discourse and e-politics, from Bing to Tumblr, from Huffington Post to the Mirror (UK), from TV news in Lacrosse, Wisconsin to The Times of India, from the documentary film Killing Us Softly to the book You Are What You Eat, and from WebMD to Twitter, in the end, with a central focus on Rachel Frederickson on the TV show, The Biggest Loser. The critical rhetorical analysis finds some support for the Women Can't Win thesis. Women are in a Catch-22 situation, trapped between fat-shaming and skinny-shaming.

Full textAbstract:
These are the words of Dr. William C. Campbell, hereinafter known as Bill. Bill was Merck’s leading authority on parasitic diseases. He played the leading role in the discovery of the greatest antiparasitic drugs in history—ivermectin and abamectin. Having said this, and as Bill has pointed out, this drug discovery story, like all of them, was the result of a team effort involving hundreds of people. When you start giving credit by naming scientists who contributed, it is tough to know when to stop. If you try to name them all, you get a telephone book for a small village and you will still miss somebody. The other extreme is to name nobody, but I have already violated that alternative. So I will mention four scientists at Merck who, in addition to Bill, were the authors of the publication in the prestigious journal Science of the article announcing the discovery of ivermectin. They are Mike Fisher, the chemist who led the chemistry effort at Merck focused on the avermectins; Ed Stapley, who led Merck’s natural product screening effort; Georg Albers-Schönberg, who headed the group that elucidated the structure of the avermectins; and Ted Jacob, Merck’s leader of animal drug metabolism. Before getting into the story, a word about names—this time about molecules, not scientists. As I relate in this chapter, avermectins are a small family of related molecules. Ivermectin is a chemically modified derivative of one of the avermectins, and abamectin is one of the avermectins. Bill Campbell is an Irishman and native of Donegal. He took himself to Trinity College in Dublin for his undergraduate work where he did research under the direction of J. Desmond Smyth, a noted parasitologist. Near the end of Bill’s undergraduate days at Trinity College, Dr. Arlie Todd of the University of Wisconsin wrote Smyth to ask whether he had any promising students to recommend for graduate study. Smyth recommended Bill to Todd, along with two others.

Full textAbstract:
This paper discusses on how globalization affects industry, business and engineering practice, and what kind of education is considered and attempted at selected high schools and colleges to raise global leaders from the United States, India and Japan. Case studies for selected schools in the United States, India and Japan are also presented. In particular, details on the participation of undergraduate students in an integrated, global research culminating in global leadership and outlook with specific examples from the ongoing collaboration of the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater and Indian Institute of Chemical Technology, Hyderabad, India are presented to corroborate the beneficial effects of globalization. With the goal of effectively raising global leaders in science and engineering fields, the authors propose a scheme for the trilateral collaboration between the U. S., India and Japan, with a focus on difference in education, characters of the peoples, and preferred models of global leaders among these nations.
