Correlation analysis of intestinal flora and immune function in patients with primary hepatocellular carcinoma.

This study applied metagenomic sequencing technology to analyze the intestinal flora distribution and immune function of patients with primary liver cancer. Stool samples were collected from 10 patients with primary liver cancer (primary liver cancer group) and 10 healthy subjects (healthy control group) who were admitted to The Affiliated Changzhou No. 2 People's Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from March to June 2021. The general data of the patients were recorded. Metagenomic sequencing was performed, and principal component analysis and diversity analysis were used to analyze the structure of the two groups and compare the differences in species abundance. United States Employment Service (USES) Spearman correlation analysis was applied to examine vice Streptococcus blood, saliva, Streptococcus, Streptococcus mutans, Streptococcus thermophilus, and vice Haemophilus influenzae, WeiRong aureus, existing different WeiRong bacteria, Eosinophilic mucins Ekman bacteria, responding to bacteria, the other branch bacteria abundance and in alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), valley correlation between levels of amyltranspeptidase (GGT), total protein, total bilirubin and alpha-fetoprotein (AFP). Beta diversity analysis based on Bray and Jensen-Shannon Divergence (JSD) distance measurement showed that the heterogeneity of fecal flora in the hepatic cell carcinoma (HCC) group was significantly lower than that in the healthy control group (P<0.001. At the species level of bacterial taxonomy, there was a statistically significant difference in the distribution of 137 bacteria in the healthy control and primary liver cancer groups (P<0.05). Correlation analysis showed that Streptococcus salivarius (P=0.020), Streptococcus thermophilus (P=0.002), and Haemophilus parainfluenzae (P=0.023) were significantly positively correlated with the serum ALT level. There were also notable correlations with AST (P=0.049), GGT (P=0.037), and total protein (P=0.010). The diversity of intestinal flora in patients with primary liver cancer is significantly reduced, species abundance is altered, and there is a marked imbalance of intestinal flora. Therefore, specific bacterial species with different intestinal flora may be used as biomarkers for the early diagnosis of primary liver cancer.

A Study of English Verbal Ability of School Students of Gujarat State with Respect To Gender, Age and Area

Aptitude tests have existed from the decade of 1940s with the title of the General Aptitude Test Battery. This was an initiative of the United States Employment Service which for the following decades, have helped students to determine their career aptitude. It has been documented that it leads people to their respective choice of careers with an up sloping growth and with so much feelings of professional fulfillment. Presently, the career aptitude tests have evolved to include not only the tests of skills and abilities but also the tests of personality class or type. Aptitude is not synonymous to one’s intelligence or mental abilities. It should not be confused with other terms such as intelligence quotient or intelligence level that dictate mental classifications such as the genius, child prodigy, mentally delayed, and mentally retarded, to name a few. Aptitude simply means and implies an individual’s good fit and suitability for a certain skill or task in a given environment. Now that it has been settled that career aptitude tests can be administered to both high school undergraduates and graduates, there emerged several discussions regarding the benefits taking the career aptitude tests may render to students who are in their junior and senior high school years, versus when it is taken at a latter age. Early adolescence and late adolescence stage is filled with a lot of developmental tasks and adjustments. Chances of peer pressure, influences of advertisements as well as of those who are within their social circle may create more confusion to the many decisions they have to make, including career related decisions. Although this conclusive theory does not apply to all, this implies that increasing their awareness will somehow provide them an idea of a path that they may take, or a direction in their future careers, and decrease the chances of career mismatches by strengthening their viewpoint on their capabilities and matched career options.

Promises of the Past

Promises of the Past Kathleen Mapes (bio) Emilio Zamora . Claiming Rights and Righting Wrongs in Texas: Mexican Workers and Job Politics during World War II. Foreword by Juan Gomez-Quinones . College Station: Texas A&M University Press, 2009. xvi + 318 pp. Illustrations, appendices, notes, bibliography, and index. $60.00 (cloth); $27.95 (paper). In April 2010, Arizona Governor Jan Brewer signed into law a bill that not only made it legal but required law enforcement officials to question and detain all persons suspected of being in the country illegally. This signing ceremony set off a firestorm that had been brewing ever since the Arizona Legislature passed the legislation weeks before. Critics from across the country and around the world, including President Obama and the Mexican Foreign Ministry, have questioned the fairness of the new law, while supporters claim the federal government has failed to fulfill its role in defending the nation's borders, thereby making it necessary for the state of Arizona to assume responsibility. Critics rightly point out that the law seems to open the door to racial profiling and harassment of those suspected of being in the United States illegally. Emilio Zamora's book, Claiming Rights and Righting Wrongs in Texas: Mexican Workers and Job Politics during World War II, might not seem to have much to tell us about the current state of affairs in Arizona. However, this rich and compelling account of a very different era, one in which it seemed that rights might be on the rise rather than on the decline, provides an important historical perspective by which we can more critically understand our own era. Zamora begins his book by promising to explore "employment discrimination, social inequality, the Mexican cause for equal rights in the United States, and the role that the government played in reinforcing and ameliorating the socially marginalized position that Mexicans filled in the urban and rural settings of Texas" (p. 1). Based on extensive archival sources and building on the works of other scholars as well as his own previous scholarship, Zamora provides an in-depth analysis of the experiences of Mexicans on the Texas home front that transcends traditional historical boundaries. Zamora meticulously explains how the ability of Mexicans to share in the fruits of the wartime economy and gain civil rights depended on the actions and relations among a number of different actors, including ordinary workers, the state agencies [End Page 500] of the Fair Employment Practices Commission (FEPC), the United States Employment Service (USES), the U.S. State Department, Mexican officials both in Mexico City and in consular offices throughout Texas, and various civil rights organizations, including, most importantly, the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC). By detailing the associations, alliances, ties, and antagonism between and among the aforementioned groups and institutions, Zamora provides a fascinating and important account of whether or not the promise of the wartime era—a promise of equality and egalitarianism—would ring true for Mexicans who had long experienced discrimination. During World War II, Texas was transformed by the wartime economy from what Zamora describes as an "industrially underdeveloped state"' to a "modernizing regional economy" (p. 24). The state witnessed the rise and expansion of the petrochemical industry, shipyards, an aircraft industry, and military bases. At the same time, agriculture, the traditional base of the economy, expanded greatly. There was also a corresponding rise in job opportunities and pay rates for those who could take advantage of the invigorated wartime economy. While Zamora notes that Mexicans did make some occupational gains in terms of place of employment (from rural to urban and from agriculture to industry) as well as pay rates, he argues that Anglos, and sometimes even African Americans, made even more substantial progress during the war years. In other words, although opportunities expanded during the war, Mexicans failed to see their proportionate share of that opportunity. Even Mexicans fortunate enough to land positions in the burgeoning wartime industrial economy faced innumerable barriers to upward mobility, much less equal treatment. In most cases, Mexicans could only find employment in the lowest and most segregated sectors of the wartime industries. When Mexicans and Anglos performed the same jobs, the former...

Investigation of placement outcomes 3 years after a job skills training program for chronically unemployed adults

This analysis of chronically unemployed job seekers after they completed a comprehensive job skills training program reveals dynamic interpersonal and intrapersonal characteristics that have an impact on job‐finding success. Of primary interest in this study was the relationship between R. B. Cattell's (1988) second‐order personality factors and participants' employment status 3 years after they graduated from the job skills program. Furthermore, U.S. Department of Labor worker trait classifications, such as aptitude, academic achievement, work history, and Holland's hexagonal definitions of career interest were also analyzed (United States Employment Service, 1972). Relatively robust correlations between job holding status and 2 of the second‐order personality factors on Cattell's Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire were illuminated: Independence and Objectivity.

Victory at Home: Manpower and Race in the American South during World War II

Victory at Home: Manpower and Race in the American South during World War II. By Charles D. Chamberlain. (Athens: University of Georgia Press, 2002. Pp. ix, 288. Acknowledgments, introduction, illustrations, maps, epilogue, notes, bibliography, index. $49.95, cloth; $19.95, paper.) Responding angrily to President Franklin D. Roosevelt's federalization of the United States Employment Service in 1941, Congressman W. F. Norrell of Fort Smith, Arkansas, said: It matters not how great the financial needs of men and women and how much their need for employment, southern people in their indignation, will never bring themselves to permit such an outrage as to allow men, women and girls to be interviewed and supervised by Negroes (Arkansas Gazette, March 6, 1941). Norrell's view was representative of the responses of the majority of southern leaders to the effort of the federal government during World War II to better utilize surplus labor in the South. Southern politicians, planters, and business leaders sought to maintain white supremacy by restricting local black and migrant Latino labor to traditional domestic, agricultural, and other low-wage menial jobs. In Victory at Home, Charles D. Chamberlain explores the efforts of the government to meet the manpower needs of the nation between 1940 and 1945 and simultaneously diversify the economy of the South, freeing blacks and poor whites from poverty and dependence. This was no easy task, as Chamberlain clearly points out, because southern whites saw federal control over wartime employment as a threat to states and the traditional southern social order. Subsequently, the southern elite joined forces with organized labor, primarily the American Federation of Labor, to promote closed shop agreements which limited the employment of minorities to menial non-union jobs. The elite further sought to maintain the status quo, as labor shortages became more pronounced, by pressuring southern defense industries to hire local women because they believed the employment of women would only be temporary and everything would return to normal after the war. This strategy was also designed to keep the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO), which many southerners viewed as radical and communist-inspired, from gaining a foothold in the South. Chamberlain also explores the efforts of black labor leaders in the South in conjunction with the National Urban League (NUL), the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), churches, and other groups to fight wartime employment discrimination by turning the war into a Double V campaign-victory in the war abroad and over racial discrimination at home. The battle for equal employment opportunities at home during the war, argues Chamberlain, became a civil rights issue. His argument reflects that of Thomas Mitchell, a black labor leader who was trying to secure the equal employment of blacks at the Todd-Johnson Dry Docks in New Orleans: feel as taxpayers, American citizens, and qualified workers, we are entitled to employment in our craft wherever work is available, regardless of our racial identity (p. …

Employment Counselor Training and Professional Issues in the United States

Employment counseling as practiced during the past 30 years in the United States Employment Service (now Job Service) is discussed, including (a) the historical forces that affected employment counseling, (b) their consequences over this period of time, and (c) employment counseling training initiatives. The Competency‐Based Employment Counselor Training Model is described, and more recent training initiatives are identified. The counselor credentialing process (particularly certification and licensure) is examined.

Factorial validity of the United States Employment Service Interest Inventory

The United States Employment Service Interest Inventory (USES-II) was completed by 732 adult clients at a comprehensive medical and vocational rehabilitation institution. For both males ( n = 502) and females ( n = 230), principal components and LISREL analyses of item parcels provided strong support for a first-order model with factors corresponding to the 12 USES-II scales. Second-order exploratory and confirmatory analyses provided no evidence for a meaningful higher-order organization of the 12 scales. In general, these results support the U.S. Department of Labor's Counselee Assessment/Occupational Exploration System for use with persons with disabilities.

Occupational Aptitude Patterns Map: Development and implications for a theory of job aptitude requirements

United States Employment Service data on the cognitive and noncognitive aptitude requirements of different occupations were used to create an occupational classification—the Occupational Aptitude Patterns (OAP) Map. The OAP Map consists of 13 job clusters arrayed according to major differences in overall intellectual difficulty level and in functional focus (field) of work activities. The OAP Map was compared with an alternative, aptitude-based classification, with the Holland typology of work environments, and with ratings for complexity of involvement with data, people, and things. Those comparisons provided considerable evidence concerning the construct validity of different aspects of the Map and helped to clarify the uses for which the Map is most appropriate. When combined with previous evidence about patterns of job aptitude demands, the OAP Map provides the basis for a theory of job aptitude requirements. The OAP Map and accompanying analyses support the following hypotheses: (1) general intelligence is the major gradient by which aptitude demands have become organized across jobs in the U.S. economy, (2) within broad levels of work, the aptitude demands of different fields of work differ primarily in the shape of their cognitive profiles, and (3) different aptitude demand patterns arise in large part from broad differences in the tasks workers actually perform on the job.

An Evaluation of the Impact of ES Referrals on Applicant Earnings

The impact of the labor exchange activities of the United States Employment Service (ES) on job seekers is analyzed in this paper. We compare the labor market experiences following application to the ES of individuals who receive ES job referrals with the experiences of those who do not receive referrals. Extensive evidence is presented indicating that the not-referred group is a reliable comparison group for estimating the impact of ES referrals on applicant labor market experiences. Our impact estimates indicate that there are significant and sizable effects of a job referral for women, resulting in increased earnings and reduced length of time to reemployment. The impacts of a job referral for men, however, are not significantly different from zero.

THE PROBABILITY OF PLACEMENT BY THE PUBLIC EMPLOYMENT SERVICE

In a typical year, the United States Employment Service places over 4 million persons from among 16 million applicants. This investigation of which applicants are most likely to be placed shows that placement occurs in two labor market segments, corresponding roughly to the primary and secondary labor markets described in the economic literature. The equity and efficiency implications o f devoting a substantial percentage o f Employment Service resources t o secondary labor market placements are considered. Several states currently use Employment Service data as a source of local labor market information. An argument is made that these states are misusing this data and suggestions for improvements are offered.

PROFILE OF EMPLOYMENT SERVICE COUNSELORS

ABSTRACTAs a guide to program planning, the United States Employment Service makes periodic surveys of the numbers and characteristics of counseling staff employed by the various State Employment Services. The information obtained from these studies helps to provide answers to many administrative questions regarding recruitment, staffing, training, and utilization of counselors as well as their physical facilities. The most recent survey indicates that overall substantial progress has been made in staffing to meet increasing responsibilities and in upgrading the professional qualifications of counselors, although there are still some problem areas.

Immigration and the Department of Labor

The October 3, 1965 amendments to the Immigration and Nationality Act require aliens seeking permanent admission to the United States for employment to obtain prior certification from the Department of Labor that sufficient United States workers are not available for the work the alien is to perform and that admitting the alien will not adversely affect United States workers. The scope of the new certification responsibility, which is considerably broadened under the new statute, pertains to third-preference, sixth-preference, and nonpreference immigrants from quota countries as well as immigrants from the Western Hemisphere. In most cases other than immigrant workers qualified in the professions, sciences, and the arts, a job offer from a United States employer is required to be filed with a local office of a state employment service. Certifications are issued by the eleven Bureau of Employment Security regional offices and by the United States Employment Service national office in Washington, D.C. In the seven months since the new legislation became effective (December 1, 1965), the Department of Labor issued over 23,000 immigrant worker certifications to the Departments of Justice and State. About 60 per cent of these involve professional, technical, managerial, and skilled occupations.

Must All Tests Be Multi-Factor Batteries?

MUCH OF the present day literature on meas urement concerns itself with the application and use of multi-factor test batteries. This trend has become so pronounced that journals are publish ing series of articles on the use of these batteries. In one of these series of articles, Super stated that if the detailed data on validity and norms in the Psychological Corporation's Differential Ap titude Tests and the United States Employment Service's General Aptitude Test Battery are as adequate as claimed, then:

Validity of Job Descriptions for Physical Requirements and Work Condition Information*

SummaryPhysical Capacities and Working Conditions are two of eight components used in recent United States Employment Service occupational research designed to develop a new occupational classification structure (2, 9). This research has been carried out with 4,000 jobs, an 18% sample of Dictionary of Occupational Titles. The ratings made for the two components described in this article as well as for Training Time, Aptitudes, Interests, and Temperaments have recently been published as an informational tool supplementing the D.O.T. (12). Although satisfactory consistency among ratings was obtained among a group of raters working from job descriptions, the question was, how good was this information when compared with similar ratings made for the same jobs by actual observation of the jobs in plants? Some indication of consistency with on‐the‐spot‐observations was particularly necessary prior to publication. A previous study (10) had indicated satisfactory reliability of Aptitude ratings made similarly from direct and indirect observations. Would the same hold true for Physical Capacities and Working Conditions?
