ABSTRACT In 1953, investigators at the Rocky Mountain Laboratories in Hamilton, MT, described isolation of a spotted fever group Rickettsia (SFGR) species from Dermacentor parumapertus ticks collected black-tailed jackrabbits ( Lepus californicus ) northern Nevada. Several decades later, characterized this SFGR (designated agent) by using mouse serotyping methods and determined that it represented distinct rickettsial serotype closely related to parkeri ; nonetheless, agent was not further...
In this collaborative essay we explore the individual and collective identities of seven Black* scholars through narrative reflection. Informed by endarkened feminist epistemology (EFE), implemented autoethnographic methods, considered how our methodological engagement with photovoice shaped as in relation to research. We found that research experiences closely mirrored several tenets EFE. More specifically, identified elements freedom, home, community recurring themes across narratives....
Envisioning a more empowered and liberated future for Black people, this article speaks to the ability capacity of digital practice in visual methodologies research. New approaches critical qualitative methods, which demand many skills abilities by researchers, continue evolve amid ever-evolving media technologies that are an integral part even inherent our day-to-day lives. In age technological innovation possibility, methodological imagination propels forward, prompting space consider how...
Dermacentor parumapertus Neumann (Acari: Ixodidae), a tick primarily associated with rabbits which occurs over much of the western United States, has fairly large north-to-south distribution, being found from central Idaho southward into northern Mexico. This mostly obscure species recently been focus attention due to discovery unique strain Rickettsia parkeri it appears closely related sp. in Atlantic rainforest Brazil. Historically, morphological variety this was reported literature based...
Dermacentor parumapertus Neumann (Acari: Ixodidae) is a rather obscure tick found on jackrabbits in the western United States and parts of Canada Mexico. Specimens from northern part their range are consistently different morphologically ones southern eastern (particularly west Texas), leading some researchers to declare form variety or subspecies. This study examined field-collected adult D. two main locations-Utah Texas-within its geographic distribution ascertain degree genetic divergence...
Empirical studies about Black graduate students have emphasized their experiences with oppression and marginalization, related psychological impacts, the survival practices they enable them to persist within Historically White Institutions (HWIs). Yet, some literature falls short of examining how individuals thrive despite racial trauma experienced professionally personally. Moreover, there is a need for research explore role faculty play in assisting addressing engaging healing practices....
Introduction Recognizing and addressing health inequities among minority populations are pivotal to public health. Further, strives understand the complexities between race without limiting discussions around as a trivial variable. This commitment toward equity demonstrates considerable similarities Critical Race Theory (CRT) which led creation of Public Health (PHCR) Praxis instill CRT within However, literature on how education incorporates critical studies remains limited. The goal this...
The larva of the ixodid tick Dermacentor parumapertus Neumann, chiefly a parasite hares and rabbits, is redescribed using scanning electron micrographs seven specimens derived from two engorged females collected black-tailed jackrabbits, Lepus californicus, at Black Gap Wildlife Management Area, Brewster County, southwestern Texas. use chaetotaxy for separating genera Ixodidae discussed, morphological key provided larvae D. those five other species with partly sympatric geographic ranges.
Higher education administrators often speak of the value collaboration between student and academic affairs yet there is little empirical evidence such collaboration. As such, graduate school services programmes traditionally receive less attention support than undergraduate programmes. Arguably, deficiencies in those expose a need for collaboration, specifically students colour. This article explores experiences colour while examining barriers place that tend to hinder their success school....
