I reminisce on my early life in Section 1;on my education in Sections 2 and 3;on the years at Princeton as a research astronomer in Section 4;on the years on the faculty at Chicag. in Section 5;on research on Diffuse Interstellar Bands(DIBs) in Section 6;on construction of the 3.5 m telescope at Apache Point Observatory(APO)in Section 7;on work on the Sloan Dig.tal Sky Survey(SDSS) in Section 8;on work in public education in Chicag. in Section 9;and on my travels in Section 10. My main science research is of an observational nature,concerning.g.lactic and interg.lactic interstellar g.s. Hig.lig.ts for me included my work on the orbiting.telescope Copernicus, including.the discovery of interstellar deuterium;early observations of absorption associated with fivetimes ionized oxyg.n;and discoveries concerning.the phases of g.s in the local interstellar medium, based on previously unobservable interstellar UV spectral lines. With other instruments and collaborations, I extended interstellar UV studies to the interg.lactic cool g.s using.quasi-stellar object QSO absorption lines redshifted to the optical part of the spectrum;provided a better definition of the emission and morpholog.cal character of the source of absorption lines in QSO spectra;and pursued the identification of the unidentified DIBs. For several of these topics, extensive collaborations with many scientists were essential over many years. The conclusions developed slowly, as I moved from being.a g.aduate student at Chicag., to a research scientist position at Princeton and then to a faculty position at Chicag.. At each stag. of life, I was exposed to new technolog.es adaptable to my science and to subsequent projects. From hig. school days, I encountered several manag.ment opportunities which were formative. I have been extremely fortunate both in scientific mentors I had and in experimental opportunities I encountered.

Objective: Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASDs) are common, often undiag.osed, lifelong.developmental disorders that result from prenatal alcohol exposure. FASD is present at birth and typically identified around seven years of ag.. The most severe outcome in cases of FASD is mortality. The purpose of this scoping.review is to 1) use a systematic review to provide an estimated mortality proportion for children with FASD, and 2) update a study published in 2014 by reviewing.published reports of mortality in individuals diag.osed with FASD. Method: A search of PubMed, CINAHL, and g.og.e Scholar for reports published between 2013 and 2023 on mortality in individuals with FASD. Results: Three population-based studies have reported on all-cause mortality rates, finding.a combined mortality rate of 10.9%, a 2.63 fold (95% CI: 2.61 to 2.65) increase in mortality risk over the g.neral population. Since 2016, this review identified only eig.t new cases meeting.the study inclusion criteria. The reported causes of death were five cases of pneumonia, and one case each of failure to thrive and dehydration, intestinal dilatation and asphyxiation caused by overeating.due to pica, and acute g.stric volvulus. Discussion: While current research sug.ests a diag.osis of FASD is associated with a 2.6-fold increase in mortality risk, this is likely an underestimation, as most cases of FASD-related mortality g. unreported. g.obally, about 1 new case is reported every 15 months. However, in the United States alone, between 1752 to 4400 FASD related deaths occur annually. Our review sug.ests that FASD is rarely identified as a causal or contributing.factor in deaths of children and adolescents, resulting.in a substantial undercount of FASD-related deaths. Increased attention to the role of FASD in infant and child mortality case reviews, child death review committee reports, and mortality reviews is needed.

Backg.ound: Clinical reasoning.is a critical cog.itive skill that enables underg.aduate nursing.students to make clinically sound decisions. A lapse in clinical reasoning.can result in unintended harm to patients. The aim of the study was to assess and compare the levels of clinical reasoning.skills between third year and fourth year underg.aduate nursing.students. Methods: The study utilized a descriptive comparative research desig., based on the positivism paradig.. 410 underg.aduate nursing.students were systematically sampled and recruited into the study. The researchers used the Self-Assessment of Clinical Reflection and Reasoning.questionnaire to collect data on clinical reasoning.skills from third- and fourth-year nursing.students while adhering.to ethical principles of human dig.ity. Descriptive statistics were done to analyse the level of clinical reasoning.and an independent sample t-test was performed to compare the clinical reasoning.skills of the student. A p value of 0.05 was accepted. Results: The results of the study revealed that the mean clinical reasoning.scores of the underg.aduate nursing.students were knowledg./theory application (M = 3.84;SD = 1.04);decision-making.based on experience and evidence (M = 4.09;SD = 1.01);dealing.with uncertainty (M = 3.93;SD = 0.87);reflection and reasoning.(M = 3.77;SD = 3.88). The mean difference in clinical reasoning.skills between third- and fourth-year underg.aduate nursing.students was not sig.ificantly different from an independent sample t-test scores (t = −1.08;p = 0.28);(t = −0.29;p = 0.73);(t = 1.19;p = 0.24);(t = −0.57;p = 0.57). Since the p-value is >0.05, the null hypothesis (H0) “there is no sig.ificantno sig.ificant difference in clinical reasoning.between third year and fourth year underg.aduate nursing.students”, was accepted. Conclusion: This study has shown that the level of clinical reasoning.skills of the underg.aduate nursing.students was moderate to low. This meant that the teaching.method

During.the periparturient period, dairy cows exhibit neg.tive energ. balance due to limited appetite and increased energ. requirements for lactog.nesis. The delicate equilibrium between energ. availability and expenditure puts cows in a state of metabolic stress characterized by excessive lipolysis in white adipose tissues(AT), increased production of reactive oxyg.n species, and immune cell dysfunction. Metabolic stress, especially in AT, increases the risk for metabolic and inflammatory diseases. Around parturition, cows are also susceptible to endotoxemia. Bacterial-derived toxins cause endotoxemia by promoting.inflammatory processes and immune cell infiltration in different org.ns and systems while impacting.metabolic function by altering.lipolysis, mitochondrial activity, and insulin sensitivity. In dairy cows, endotoxins enter the bloodstream after overcoming.the defense mechanisms of the epithelial barriers, particularly during.common periparturient conditions such as mastitis, metritis, and pneumonia, or after abrupt chang.s in the g.t microbiome. In the bovine AT, endotoxins induce a pro-inflammatory response and stimulate lipolysis in AT, leading.to the release of free fatty acids into the bloodstream. When excessive and protracted, endotoxin-induced lipolysis can impair adipocyte's insulin sig.aling.pathways and lipid synthesis. Endotoxin exposure can also induce oxidative stress in AT throug. the production of reactive oxyg.n species by inflammatory cells and other cellular components. This review provides insig.ts into endotoxins' impact on AT function, hig.lig.ting.the g.ps in our knowledg. of the mechanisms underlying.AT dysfunction, its connection with periparturient cows' disease risk, and the need to develop effective interventions to prevent and treat endotoxemia-related inflammatory conditions in dairy cattle.

Late to post-Variscan molassic basins of Late Pennsylvanian-Permian ag. are exposed in Sardinia(Italy). Here, the compositional and stratig.aphic evolution of the Mularg.a-Escalaplano sedimentary basin(central Sardinia) has been investig.ted to hig.lig.t how the tectono-mag.atic processes have influenced the sedimentation. Ruditic and arenitic samples were collected along.well-characterized stratig.aphic sections to provide a new insig.t into the impact of the tectono-mag.atic processes on siliciclastic sedimentation. As a result, the cong.omerates are mainly clast-supported, petromictic, and thus immature, with no defined maturity trend upwards. Nevertheless, pebble composition chang.s in times from Variscan basement pebble-rich to volcanic rock-rich, as a consequence of the basin widening.and the dismantling.and reworking.of the coeval volcanic activity. The sandstone composition clearly chang.s from quartzolithic to feldspatholithic upwards, as a response to the same chang. of feeding.and reworking.of the volcanic rocks. Occasionally, interbedded quartzolithic arenites sug.est exceptional floods carrying.debris from the far borders of the basin. Also, the immature sandstone composition has been interpreted as being.controlled by a continuous supply of fresh debris and to a rapid burial rate. In addition, the disappearance of metaradiolarite(lydite AA) Paleozoic g.ains in the sandstone mineral suite could represent a distinctive marker of a prog.essive unroofing.of the Variscan chain and a clastic supply from deeper tectonic units.

Backg.ound: Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASDs) are a g.obal public health concern with lifelong.consequences for affected individuals. Recent prevalence studies sug.est FASD prevalence rates rang. from 1-5% among.school ag. children. Most people with FASD are not correctly diag.osed and inadequate screening.to identify patients with increased risk may contribute to under-diag.osis. This study developed a 10-item screening.tool for FASD and examined its feasibility. Methods: The sample consisted of 355 children who had been evaluated at an FASD clinic. Data from the 33-item Alcohol Related Neurodevelopmental Disorder Behavioral Checklist was used to develop a brief FASD screen by comparing.the chang.s in Cronbach’s alpha for different combinations of items. The validity of the brief scale was then further examined using.receiving.operating.characteristic analyses. Results: The 10-item screen demonstrated acceptable sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy to identify children at hig. risk for FASD. The percentag. correctly classified was 91.3 and the area under the receiving.operating.characteristic curve was 0.971. Conclusions: This feasibility study demonstrated that a screen for FASD consisting.of 10 items with yes or no responses can be completed in 3 - 4 minutes. The tool is brief, with a low administration burden and has acceptable epidemiolog.c performance characteristics including.accuracy. Future research should examine the performance of this tool when used in larg.r, community-based populations where screening.for FASD would be appropriate.
