  • Dear Secretary Devos, We Are the Parents of Transgender Children

    Dear Secretary Devos, We Are the Parents of Transgender Children

    Dear Secretary DeVos, We are the parents of transgender children from across the United States, representing various ethnicities, socioeconomic backgrounds, and faith communities. We write to express our outrage and deep concern over the repeated injustices committed by the Trump-Pence Administration’s Department of Education against transgender students. One year ago, during your confirmation hearing as U.S. Secretary of Education, you promised to protect the civil rights of all students. Instead, almost immediately after taking office, the U.S. Department of Education under your command rescinded protective guidance for our transgender children and is now, according to reports, turning away transgender students and their families reporting discrimination. All any parent wants is for their children to be safe, healthy, and fulfilled. Sadly, today in America, we see our children ostracized and discriminated against in too many of their schools. This toxic reality compromises their ability to learn and succeed both academically and socially, yet the Office for Civil Rights claims this issue is not within its jurisdiction or, by extension, responsibility. As parents of transgender youth, we are, unfortunately, all too familiar with the heartbreaking challenges often faced by children like our own around the country. National surveys reveal staggering statistics related to the harmful experiences of transgender youth in schools, in large part due to lack of access to facilities such as restrooms and locker rooms that align with young people’s gender identity. A recent study conducted by the Human Rights Campaign Foundation of over 12,000 LGBTQ youth indicates that, of participants who identified as transgender, non-binary, or otherwise non-cisgender, almost 50% never use the restroom in school--with ​ ​ 90% of that subset attributing that fact to being personally restricted from using facilities that align with their gender identity.

    EFFECTIVENESS OF A MONOVALENT HUMAN ROTAVIRUS VACCINE AMONG CHILDREN OF 5 YEARS AND UNDER IN KWAZULU-NATAL OSARETIN EMMANUEL ASOWATA SUBMITTED IN FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (MEDICAL MICROBIOLOGY) IN THE SCHOOL OF LABORATORY MEDICINE AND MEDICAL SCIENCES, UNIVERSITY OF KWAZULU-NATAL, SOUTH AFRICA FEBRUARY, 2016 i PREFACE Diarrhoeal disease is one of the leading cause of morbidity and mortality among children of 5 years and under in South Africa. Rotaviruses have been documented as causing one-third of all diarrhoea hospital admissions. Vaccination is the main public health intervention to prevent and control rotavirus infections. Two oral live-attenuated rotavirus vaccines has been has been licensed for global use and one of these vaccines has been included in the national immunization programme of South Africa since August 2009. However, rotavirus remains a major aetiology of diarrhoea in infants and young children in South Africa. Clinical trials in South Africa have reported a low effectiveness of this vaccine in comparison to that reported from high income countries. Reasons for the reduced effectiveness of the rotavirus vaccine seen locally are speculative. The ability of this vaccine to protect against emerging strains of rotavirus is not fully understood. This study was conducted to evaluate possible factors influencing the effectiveness of the rotavirus vaccine on Kwazulu-Natal, South Africa. ii DECLARATION This work was carried out by me, Osaretin Emmanuel Asowata. It has not been submitted in any form to the University of KwaZulu-Natal or any other tertiary institution for degree award purposes. All experiments was carried out in the department of Infection Prevention and Control, School of Laboratory Medicine and Medical Sciences, University of KwaZulu-Natal under the supervision of Professor Prashini Moodley and co-supervised by Dr.

    Katharine Mccormick (1876-1967) [1]

    Published on The Embryo Project Encyclopedia (https://embryo.asu.edu) Katharine McCormick (1876-1967) [1] By: Buttar, Aliya Keywords: Contraception [2] Reproductive rights [3] Biography [4] Katharine Dexter McCormick, who contributed the majority of funding for the development of the oral contraceptive pill [6], was born to Josephine and Wirt Dexter on 27 August 1875 in Dexter, Michigan. After growing up in Chicago, Illinois, she attended the Massachusetts Institute of Technology [7] (MIT), where she graduated in 1904 with a BS in biology. That same year, she married Stanley McCormick, the son of Cyrus McCormick, inventor and manufacturer of the mechanized reaper. Katharine’s father was a prominent Chicago lawyer, so this marriage created the accumulation of great wealth and power. Her primary contribution to society was her commitment to reproductive reform. McCormick became involved with the development of the oral contraceptive pill [6] and the birth control movement [8] more generally through her relationship with Margaret Sanger. After Sanger had met with Gregory Goodwin Pincus [9] to discuss the development of a birth control [10] pill, she brought McCormick to meet with him at his laboratory, the Worcester Foundation for Experimental Biology [11], on 8 June 1953. McCormick then pledged to fund the project to completion, contributing $100,000 annually at the beginning and later $150,000–$180,000 annually until her death in 1967. She initially distributed the funds through Planned Parenthood Federation of America [12], but later, due to a lack of enthusiasm from theo rganization [13] about the pill, McCormick donated directly to the Worcester Foundation.

"We Were the Eyes and Ears...": Nursing and the Development of Neonatal intensive Care Units in the United States, 1955-1982. Abstract ABSTRACT "WE WERE THE EYES AND EARS...": NURSING AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF NEONATAL INTENSIVE CARE UNITS IN THE UNITED STATES, 1955-1982. Briana Ralston, MS, RN Julie Fairman, PhD, RN, FAAN In the 1960s and 1970s, neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) became the standard of care for critically ill newborns in hospitals across the United States. Though work has been done to examine how nurses participated in the development of ICU's for adult populations, scholarship related to the formation of NICUs is sparse. Using historical methodology to examine hospital archival data, oral history interviews, and scholarly literature, this work examines the roles nurses played in the development of NICUs as technological systems between 1955 and 1982 in the United States.
