Multifeature analyses of vascular cambial cells reveal longevity mechanisms in old Ginkgo biloba trees (open access)

Multifeature analyses of vascular cambial cells reveal longevity mechanisms in old Ginkgo biloba trees

This article investigates age-related changes in Ginkgo biloba trees to learn more about the molecular and metabolic mechanisms underlying their longevity. The results revealed that long-lived trees have evolved compensatory mechanisms to maintain a balance between growth and aging processes.

Excrescent vowels in Lamkang prefix sequences (open access)

Excrescent vowels in Lamkang prefix sequences

Article examines the nature of the super-short vowel-like segments between the C- prefixes of the Lamkang language by combining acoustic analysis with speakers' intuitions about syllable structure. The authors argue that an accurate phonetic description of Lamkang vowels must include these super-short vowels, as well as long and short vowels, which are phonemically distinct.

Occupational gender segregation and economic growth in United States local labor markets, 1980 through 2010 (open access)

Occupational gender segregation and economic growth in United States local labor markets, 1980 through 2010

This article explores the barrier that gender segregation posses to the exchange of diverse ideas between women and men workers in the United States. The author uses fixed effects regression models to examine the relationship between labor market levels of segregation and economic growth from 1980 and 2010. Results from this study suggest that gender equity is a vital ingredient in the economic development of local United States labor markets.

Ethnicity as a Moderator Between Posttraumatic Stress Disorder and Suicidality in a Clinical Sample

Poster discussing the role of ethnicity in the relationship between posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and suicidality. Research indicates an increased risk of suicide and suicidal behavior among individuals with PTSD. Latinx groups, in particular, have lower rates of suicide injury death in comparison to non-Latinx groups. These findings do not explain increased suicidality in non-Latinx clients, but is congruent with the Latinx health paradox, the contradictory finding of better health outcomes for Latinx despite known additional disadvantages.

Exploring the Role of Income on Depression Severity Among College Students

Poster exploring the role of income on depression severity among college atmosphere. The hypothesis that students that reported being low income will also report more depressive symptoms. This was partially supported, but students from the middle income range reported more depressive symptoms that both low and high income students.

Gender Differences in Anxiety Symptoms

Poster examining if gender differences exist for two common anxiety symptom categories: mood (e.g. nervousness) and somatic (e.g. sweating). A multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) was conducted to examine gender differences in anxiety symptomology and yielded no significant differences in anxiety severity based on gender. A pattern was present of more somatic symptoms than mood symptoms for both males and females, and males reported lower rates of anxiety symptomology combined when compared to women.
