Infections caused by drug-resistant bacteria, particularly gram-negative organisms, are increasingly difficult to treat using antibiotics. A potential alternative is ‘phage therapy’, in which phages infect and lyse the bacterial host. However, phage therapy poses serious drawbacks and safety concerns, such as the risk of genetic transduction of antibiotic resistance genes, inconsistent pharmacokinetics, and unknown evolutionary potential. In contrast, metallic nanoparticles possess precise, tunable properties, including efficient conversion of electronic excitation into heat. In this work, we demonstrate that engineered phage-nanomaterial conjugates that target the gram-negative pathogen P. aeruginosa, are highly effective as a treatment of infected wounds in mice. Photothermal heating, performed as a single treatment (15 min) or as two treatments on consecutive days, rapidly reduced the bacterial load and released Zn2+ to promote wound healing. The phage-nanomaterial treatment was ...

This essay covers a case study of my experience working with a non-native English-speaking (NNES) student in several consultations. These consultations took place in summer 2018 at the UNCG Speaking Center. At our center, NNES students comprise roughly 30% of the consultations (Sorenson, 2017). Many times, if a NNES student comes in several times throughout a week, month, or semester, consultants struggle with providing authentic dialogue and feedback with them. Because of this, the consultant ends up going over the same strengths and areas for improvement with the student during each consultation. Thus, I argue for the use of videos in consultations with NNES students to spark this authentic dialogue and feedback and to prevent repetitiveness in this dialogue and feedback between the consultant and student.

Varied expectations have been placed upon mid-level qualifications - examined here as qualifications at Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) levels 5 and 6; that is, diplomas, advanced diplomas and associate degrees. Such qualifications have been seen as needing to support labour market entry, as providing access to higher-skilled work throughout the working life, as a transition to higher-level qualifications, and as a means for making access to higher-level qualifications more socially equitable. It could also be argued that the role of mid-level qualifications has become less clear, with evidence that, for many work roles, mid-level qualifications are losing labour market currency to bachelor degrees. This paper is based on findings from the second year of a three-year [National Centre for Vocational Education Research] NCVER-supported project entitled 'Vocations: post-compulsory education and the labour market'. The first component of this project identified the und...
