Exploring Interior Design Students’ Mathematical Units Construction and Coordination: Help with the Architectural Scale
Many undergraduate interior design students are unprepared for the required mathematical complexity (e.g., measurement, scale factor, and spatial reasoning). Holistically, the exercise of design is one of six universal activities through which mathematics is traditionally developed; however, researchers found no studies specifically related to interior design students and math. A small qualitative case study, therefore, was conducted to see if the mathematical theory of units construction, and coordination could provide a framework to measure interior design students’ mathematical abilities. This framework was used both to interpret sophomore interior design students’ understanding of measurement and scale factor and to identify their level of mathematical application relative to the interior design profession. Students measured a furnished lab and drafted floor plans, and semi-structured clinical interviews evaluated the students’ stages (1–3) of units construction and coordination, ruler fluency, and scale factor reasoning. Results indicate three of the students were stage two and two of the students were stage three. Stage two students applied whole number scale factors to linear measurements but could not accurately apply scale factors involving fractional linear units or square units. In contrast, stage three fluently applied whole number and fractional linear units and square units in the context of scale factor. The authors suggest that early assessment of interior design students’ units coordination structures is one method to evaluate their mathematical ability levels so that specific interventions tailored to individual student needs can be administered. Ongoing research is expanding the number of students evaluated with the instrument; future research will evaluate potential interventions.

Next step for Bishop
Because no other county agreements were reached with all parties, we're left to believe the hallmark of the upcoming bill will be nothing more than the same tired, anti-conservation, county commission, fossil-fuel wish list we saw promoted by (and fail miserably) Bishop's predecessor, Jim Hansen.

Op-ed: Here's how to get educated before voting on judges
In his 2014 State of the Judiciary address, Chief Justice Matthew B. Durrant of the Utah Supreme Court characterized the evaluation of Utah's judges by an independent commission as \"the most formal, involved, detailed and transparent evaluation of any public servant, at any level of government.\"

Reference Values for Body Composition and Anthropometric Measurements in Athletes
Despite the importance of body composition in athletes, reference sex- and sport-specific body composition data are lacking. We aim to develop reference values for body composition and anthropometric measurements in athletes.
Body weight and height were measured in 898 athletes (264 female, 634 male), anthropometric variables were assessed in 798 athletes (240 female and 558 male), and in 481 athletes (142 female and 339 male) with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). A total of 21 different sports were represented. Reference percentiles (5th, 25th, 50th, 75th, and 95th) were calculated for each measured value, stratified by sex and sport. Because sample sizes within a sport were often very low for some outcomes, the percentiles were estimated using a parametric, empirical Bayesian framework that allowed sharing information across sports.
We derived sex- and sport-specific reference percentiles for the following DXA outcomes: total (whole body scan) and regional (subtotal, trunk, and appendicular) bone mineral content, bone mineral density, absolute and percentage fat mass, fat-free mass, and lean soft tissue. Additionally, we derived reference percentiles for height-normalized indexes by dividing fat mass, fat-free mass, and appendicular lean soft tissue by height squared. We also derived sex- and sport-specific reference percentiles for the following anthropometry outcomes: weight, height, body mass index, sum of skinfold thicknesses (7 skinfolds, appendicular skinfolds, trunk skinfolds, arm skinfolds, and leg skinfolds), circumferences (hip, arm, midthigh, calf, and abdominal circumferences), and muscle circumferences (arm, thigh, and calf muscle circumferences).
These reference percentiles will be a helpful tool for sports professionals, in both clinical and field settings, for body composition assessment in athletes.

Fecal microbiota transplantation for refractory immune checkpoint inhibitor-associated colitis
We report the first case series of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI)-associated colitis successfully treated with fecal microbiota transplantation, with reconstitution of the gut microbiome and a relative increase in the proportion of regulatory T-cells within the colonic mucosa. These preliminary data provide evidence that modulation of the gut microbiome may abrogate ICI-associated colitis.
Preliminary evidence from two cases suggests that fecal microbiota transplantation may provide a viable treatment option for a severe adverse effect of immune checkpoint blockade therapy in patients with cancer.
