How Administrative Data Collection and Analysis Can Better Reflect Racial and Ethnic Identities

Measuring race and ethnicity for administrative data sets and then analyzing these data to understand racial/ethnic disparities present many logistical and theoretical challenges. In this chapter, we conduct a synthetic review of studies on how to effectively measure race/ethnicity for administrative data purposes and then utilize these measures in analyses. Recommendations based on this synthesis include combining the measure of Hispanic ethnicity with the broader racial/ethnic measure and allowing individuals to select more than one race/ethnicity. Data collection should rely on self-reports but could be supplemented using birth certificates or equivalent sources. Collecting data over time, especially for young people, will help identify multiracial and American Indian populations. For those with more complex racial/ethnic identities, including measures of country of origin, language, and recency of immigration can be helpful in addition to asking individuals which racial/ethnic identity they most identify with. Administrative data collection could also begin to incorporate phenotype measures to facilitate the calculation of disparities within race/ethnicity by skin tone. Those analyzing racial/ethnic disparities should understand how these measures are created and attempt to develop fieldwide terminology to describe racial/ethnic identities.
Possibility for neurogenesis in substantia nigra of parkinsonian brain

Recent studies of enhanced hippocampal neurogenesis by antidepressants suggest enhancement of neurogenesis is a potentially effective therapy in neurodegenerative diseases. In this study, we evaluated nigral neurogenesis in animals and autopsy brains including patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). First, proliferating cells in substantia nigra were labeled with retroviral transduction of green fluorescent protein, which is an efficient method to label neuronal stem cells. Subsequent differentiation of labeled cells was followed; many transduced cells became microglia, but no differentiation into tyrosine hydroxylase–positive neurons was detected at 4 weeks after injection, in both intact rodents and those treated with 1‐methyl‐4‐phenyl‐1,2,3,6‐tetrahydropyridine. Second, polysialic acid (PSA)–like immunoreactivity, indicative of newly differentiated neurons, was detected in the substantia nigra of rodent, primate, and human midbrains. A large number of PSA‐positive cells were detected in the substantia nigra pars reticulata of some patients with PD. In rats and a macaque monkey, the dopamine‐depleted hemispheres showed more PSA staining than the intact side. A small number of tyrosine hydroxylase–positive cells were PSA‐positive. Our results suggest enhanced neural reconstruction in PD, which may be important in the design of new therapies against the progression of PD. Ann Neurol 2005
Critical overrun causations in marine projects

Delay causations in infrastructure projects are well reported in normative literature. However, very little is known regarding the environment-related causations which can assist in developing mitigation strategies. This study aims to examine critical causations of overruns in marine construction projects. ,A total of 73 delay factors, grouped into 16 themes, were identified from literature. Data relating to the significance of each factor were collected through a questionnaire survey administered to 151 respondents. A total number of 126 valid responses were retrieved. Reductionist methodology was used to identify the statistical significance of each delay causation. ,All 73 variables analysed in the study are significant, including communication issues amongst stakeholders, inadequate planning, safety issues, deficient technical instructions and inappropriate management approaches. Others include design and construction issues, issues with project organisational structures, political and cultural factors, environmental uncertainties and complexity in resource management. The study also found estimation errors, owner's attitude, financial issues, delay in approval processes, construction strategies and unavailability of appropriate technologies for the work as influencing factors. These findings are consistent with earlier studies on other forms of projects, but they further confirm that they are very relevant to marine projects. ,Due to the diversity of marine projects, overrun factors are likely to manifest in different ways in varying project circumstances. In addition, economics, technologies and local legislation often influence project situations differently. ,The implications of these findings will assist in growing the practicality of scheduling and contract administration theories in marine projects. Although delay causations that have been reported in normative literature are relevant to marine construction, however, some of the causations are more severe in marine projects. It is important that planners and project stakeholders are mindful of this such that they can develop their expectations to tolerate variability rather than trade impracticable blames. ,Determining delay factors specific to marine construction projects assists stakeholders and project management community in developing dedicated strategies applicable in scheduling to prevent and correct obstructions caused by overruns. Since projects are different in types and sizes, delay observations cannot be generalised.
FACTORS AFFECTING AUDIT DELAY IN MANUFACTURING COMPANIES

Financial reporting in a timely manner is one of the important factors to maintain the relevance of the information contained in the financial statements of a company. The purpose of this research is to analyze the influence of profitability, solvability, the complexity of operations, audit firm’s reputation and company’s age on audit delay, partially and simultaneously. This research uses secondary data obtained from goods and consumption industry sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2015-2018. This study used a purposive sampling method that produced 28 companies and 112 samples. Sample data were processed using descriptive statistical analysis, classic assumption test and multiple linear regression. The result of the partial significance test shows that the profitability and complexity of operations influence audit delay, while the simultaneous significance test shows that all variables simultaneously influence audit delay.
Adrenergic β1 Receptor Polymorphism (Ser49Gly) Is Associated with Obesity in Type II Diabetic Patients

In the process of lipolysis, adipocytes are stimulated by catecholamines through β1, β2, and β3 adrenergic receptors (ARs). So far, β2 and β3 AR polymorphisms have been reported related to obesity. However, the relation of β1AR polymorphisms to obesity has not been evaluated. In the present study, we examined whether βAR polymorphisms are associated with obesity-related phenotype in type II diabetic patients. Polymorphisms of β1Ser49Gly, β1Arg389Gly, β2Arg16Gly, β2Gln27Glu and β3Trp64Arg were genotyped in 188 type II diabetic patients by PCR-RFLP. Among these polymorphisms, β1Ser49Gly was found to be associated with obesity. Subjects with β1Gly49 allele showed higher body mass index (BMI) than those with Ser49/Ser49 genotype (24.7±3.7 vs. 23.4±3.3 kg/m2; p=0.031). Subjects with β1Gly49 allele were more frequently overweight (BMI≥25 kg/m2) compared with β1Ser49 homozygous group (42.1 vs. 24.4%, p=0.015). By multiple linear regression analysis, β1Ser49Gly polymorphism was independently associated with higher BMI (p=0.019, β=0.166). Our data indicate that the Gly49 allele in β1AR is associated with higher BMI in type II diabetic patients. Genotyping for β1Ser49Gly polymorphism in type II diabetic patients may have clinical benefit to predict obesity, thereby contributing to the prevention of insulin resistance.
Motivation Moderates The Effect Of Internal Control Systems And Budgetary Participation On Individual Performance

Individual performance is the level of work performed by individuals in the organization that is used as a basis for evaluating the organization. This study aimed at obtaining empirical evidence regarding the influence of the internal control system and participation in preparing budgets on individual performance with motivation as moderating. This study was conducted at 30 Bangli District Regional Organizations (OPD) collected through questionnaires. The samples were 60 people through non-probability sampling. This study was tested using a structural equation model (Structural Equation Modeling-SEM) based on variance or Component-based SEM with a Smart-PLS 3.0 analysis tool. The result showed that the internal control system has a significant positive effect on individual performance. Budgeting participation has a positive effect but not significant on individual performance. The result showed that work motivation can strengthen the internal control system and participation in compiling budgets on individual performance.
Acidification of the La Cloche Mountain Lakes, Ontario, and Resulting Fish Mortalities

The loss of populations of lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush), lake herring (Coregonus artedii), white suckers (Catostomus commersoni), and other fishes in Lumsden Lake was attributed to increasing levels of acidity within the lake. An absence of fishes was also observed in nearby lakes. In some lakes, acid levels have increased more than one hundredfold in the last decade. The increases in acidity appear to result from acid fallout in rain and snow. The largest single source of this acid was considered to be the sulfur dioxide emitted by the metal smelters of Sudbury, Ont.In 1971, pH measurements were taken from 150 lakes in the general study area 65 km southwest of Sudbury. Some 33 of these lakes showed a pH of less than 4.5 and were described as "critically acidic. " An additional 37 lakes had a pH in the range of 4.5–5.5 and were termed "endangered" lakes.
Extracellular Soil Enzyme Activities in High-Elevation Mixed Red Spruce Forests in Central Appalachia, U.S.A.

Anthropogenic emissions have impacted terrestrial forest ecosystem processes in North America since the industrial revolution. With the passage of the Clean Air Act in 1970 in the United States, atmospheric inputs of nitrogen (N) and sulfur (S) into forests in the Appalachian Mountains have declined, which have, potentially, mitigated their effects on processes such as decomposition and nutrient cycling. Activities of microbial extracellular soil enzymes (ESEs) mediate many rate-limiting nutrient transformations in forest soils and play important roles in the decomposition of complex organic compounds. Soils in high-elevation red spruce forests are characterized by low pH and high carbon (C):N ratios and, having historically received extremely high levels of N deposition, may exhibit legacy impacts of deposition on nutrient availability and decomposition. We utilized four sites along a modeled gradient of N deposition in central Appalachia to assess contemporary ESEs in bulk soil under Acer rubrum L. , Betula alleghaniensis Britt. , and Picea rubens Sarg. in May, June, and July 2016. Increasing N deposition led to increases in organic fraction C and N and decreases in phosphorus (P). Sites receiving higher N also exhibited greater mineral fraction C, N, and P. ESEs were highest in organic fractions with acid phosphatases (AP) exhibiting the highest activity. There was little influence of N deposition on organic fraction ESEs, but strong evidence for a positive relationship between N deposition and activities of AP, β-glucosidases (BG), and chitinase (NAG) in mineral fractions. Species effects on ESEs were present with high AP in organic fractions under spruce and high mineral fraction fungal laccase (LAC) under birch. The sampling season demonstrated little effect on ESEs. ESEs were more strongly influenced by plot-level factors, such as tree species diversity and abundance of ectomycorrhizal (ECM) tree species, than temporal or soil factors or nutrient status related to modeled cumulative N deposition across these sites. Decreases in AP, BG, and NAG activities with greater abundance of broadleaf deciduous species and increases in activities with ECM host abundance indicate that microbial communities driven by these plant functional groups are responsible for the differences in ESEs observed in these high-elevation mixed red spruce stands.
Buckling and vibration analysis of FG-CNTRC plate subjected to thermo-mechanical load based on higher order shear deformation theory

Abstract In the present study, based on 12-unknown higher order shear deformation theory (HSDT), buckling and vibration analysis of FG-CNTRC rectangular plate are investigated for various types of temperature distribution and boundary conditions. Implementing Hamilton’s principle, the equations of motion are derived and solved by adopting the Navier solution for the simply supported boundary conditions and DQM method for other boundary conditions. Validation is carried out by comparing the numerical results with those obtained in the open literature. Also, a detailed parametric analysis is carried out to illuminate the influence of different system parameters such as CNT distributions, CNT volume fraction, aspect ratio, and temperature gradients on the buckling and vibrational behavior of the plate. The material properties of the CNTRC plate are computed via the extended rule of mixture. It is demonstrated that in the case of sinusoidal temperature rise, the non-dimensional fundamental frequency of the system has the greatest value in comparison with other various patterns of temperature alteration. It is concluded that the FG-X pattern of CNT distribution, as well as increasing CNT volume fraction, lead to an increase in the buckling strength of the FG-CNTRC plate.
Active Flow Control on a Square-Back Road Vehicle

An experimental investigation focused on the manipulation of the wake generated by a square back car model is presented. Four continuously-blowing rectangular slot jets were mounted on the rear face of a 1:10 commercial van model. Load cell measurements evidence drag reduction for different forcing configurations, reaching a maximum of 12% for lateral and bottom jets blowing. The spectral analysis of the pressure fluctuations evidence, for all forced cases, an energy attenuation with respect to the natural case, especially close to the shedding frequency. An energy budget highlighted the most efficient forcing configurations accounting for both the drag reduction and the power required to feed the blowing system. Two main configurations are considered: the maximum drag reduction and the best compromise, yielding 5% drag reduction and a convenient energy balance. Particle Image Velocimetry (pPIV) and stereoscopic PIV (sPIV) experiments were performed allowing the three-dimensional reconstruction of the wake in the three considered configurations. Consistently with static and fluctuating pressure measurements, sPIV results reveal a dramatic change in the wake structure when the jets blow in the maximum drag reduction configuration. Conversely, the best compromise configuration reveals a wake structure similar to the natural one.

Design of a Sandwich Hierarchically Porous Membrane with Oxygen Supplement Function for Implantable Glucose Sensor

This study aims to develop an oxygen regeneration layer sandwiched between multiple porous polyurethanes (PU) to improve the performance of implantable glucose sensors. Sensors were prepared by coating electrodes with platinum nanoparticles, Nafion, glucose oxidase and sandwich hierarchically porous membrane with an oxygen supplement function (SHPM-OS). The SHPM-OS consisted of a hierarchically porous structure synthesized by polyethylene glycol and PU and a catalase (Cat) layer that was coated between hierarchical membranes and used to balance the sensitivity and linearity of glucose sensors, as well as reduce the influence of oxygen deficiency during monitoring. Compared with the sensitivity and linearity of traditional non-porous (NO-P) sensors (35.95 nA/mM, 0.9987, respectively) and single porous (SGL-P) sensors (45.3 nA /mM, 0.9610, respectively), the sensitivity and linearity of the SHPM-OS sensor was 98.45 nA/mM and 0.9989, respectively, which was more sensitive with higher linearity. The sensor showed a response speed of five seconds and a relative sensitivity of 90% in the first 10 days and remained 78% on day 20. This sensor coated with SHPM-OS achieved rapid responses to changes of glucose concentration while maintaining high linearity for long monitoring times. Thus, it may reduce the difficulty of back-end hardware module development and assist with effective glucose self-management for people with diabetes.
Gastrointestinal Host–Microbial Interactions in Mammals and Fish: Comparative Studies in Man, Mice, Rats, Pigs, Horses, Cows, Elks, Reindeers, Salmon and Cod

The gastrointestinal tract of all animals is colonized with a vast, complex and dynamic consortium of microorganisms. In spite of recent progress in molecular microbiology, this complexity makes a proper qualitative and quantitative evaluation difficult and expensive to perform. In the present review we discuss the results obtained from applying a functional concept for studying intestinal host–microbial interactions in eight mammalian species and two species of fish. We show that microbial interactions with endogenous derived substrates such as cholesterol, bilirubin, mucin and trypsin occur in all species. Exogenous compounds (e.g. carbohydrate, protein, fibre) are also acted upon by the intestinal microflora. From an evolutionary point of view, dietary differences have led to a compartmentalized variability in microbial functions. Taken together, the results in this review underscore the importance of understanding precisely how gastrointestinal metabolism serves to establish a symbiotic cross-talk between animals and their gastrointestinal flora.
Formation of Protein−Polyphenol Haze in Beverages

Protein−polyphenol hazes form in beer, wine, and fruit juices and can limit shelf life. Haze-active protein is higher in beer than the other beverages. Haze-active polyphenol is highest in apple juice and red wines, variable in grape juices, and low in beer and white wine. A systematic study of factors that influence haze formation was carried out in a model system. Pectin, arabinogalactan, and poly(galacturonic acid) led to increased haze while free amino acids and other carbohydrates had no effect. Maximum haze occurred near pH 4 with less haze at higher and lower pH's. As ethanol concentration increased near pH 4, the haze at first declined, but further increases in ethanol led to increased haze. It appears that haze formation is similar in all the beverages examined and may be explained by a single mechanism. This has implications for analysis of haze-active constituents and beverage stabilization. Keywords: Haze-active protein; haze-active polyphenol; pH; alcohol; turbidity; beer; wine; fruit juices
