The results indicate that although male caregivers' perceived burden depends only on the size of the role overload, female caregivers' perceived burden depends on the interrelationship between the size of the role overload and adherence to Asian cultural norms. Implications of the findings for social work are discussed.

These care givers belong to first generation South Asian immigrant households in the Dallas - Fort Worth Metropolitan area. The sample consists of 118 respondents who are primary care givers. The independent effects of cultural beliefs with respect to care giving on the amount of perceived care giver burden is examined. It is found that care givers who have high levels of belief in South Asian cultural norms about elder care giving report low levels of perceived care giver burden. The implications of this finding for provision of services to South Asian elder care givers is presented.

The purpose of this article is to empirically determine the factor structure of the original Marin et al. Acculturation Scale on the foreign-born Chinese American population. The Marin et al. Acculturation Scale was administered to 229 Chinese-Americans (18 yrs and older) via telephone interviews. The confirmatory factor analysis results supported the three-factor structure. In addition the three factors showed high internal consistency among the subscales. The results of the present study with its three factors of acculturation scale ...

Bacterial topoisomerase functions are required for regulation of DNA supercoiling and overcoming ... more Bacterial topoisomerase functions are required for regulation of DNA supercoiling and overcoming the DNA topological barriers that are encountered during many vital cellular processes. DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV of the type IIA bacterial topoisomerase family are important clinical targets for antibacterial therapy. Topoisomerase I, belonging to the type IA topoisomerase family, has recently been validated as a potential anti-tubercular target. The topoisomerase I activity has been shown to be essential for bacterial viability and infection in a murine model of tuberculosis. Mixture-based combinatorial libraries were screened in this study to identify novel bacterial topoisomerase I inhibitors. Using positional-scanning deconvolution, selective small molecule inhibitors of bacterial topoisomerase I were identified starting from a polyamine scaffold. Antibacterial assays demonstrated that four of these small molecule inhibitors of bacterial topoisomerase I are bactericidal agains...

An eco-cultural approach is used to analyze the effects of cultural and ecological factors. The case study illustrates the effect of the eco-cultural factors on the marital relationship. Implications for practice with elderly immigrants and suggestions for counselors are suggested.
