Theoretical and methodological fundamentals of the emergence and development of the emotional intelligence as a psychological construct
Authors:   Pavlo Tychyna Uman State Pedagogical University, Julai А.
Published: September 2022

The article is devoted to the disclosure of theoretical and methodological principles of the origins and development of emotional intelligence as a psychological construct. It is noted that researchers call their construct "emotional intelligence", while the views of scientists on the psychological nature of the phenomenon under study differ. On the one hand, their approaches complement each other, and on the other hand, they contradict each other. Meanwhile, a common feature of existing approaches to the definition of emotional intelligence is the understanding of this construct as the ability to adequately diagnose, understand and manage emotions. It is about the subject's own emotions and other people's emotions. Thus, modern concepts of emotional intelligence reflect the tendency to combine the irrational component of the human psyche (emotions, intuition) and the rational component (thinking, analysis, logic). Intelligence and emotions thus interact, emphasizing their complementarity rather than antagonistic relationships. All psychological approaches that describe the relationship between intellect and emotions indicate the cognitive definition of emotional manifestations of personality. Determinants are such personality qualities as the ability to evaluate and interpret events and conditions that occur (own and others), the ability to assess and anticipate the necessary and available resources to achieve this goal. Emotional intelligence is an essential mental resource of man.It helps to increase the effectiveness of activities by understanding and regulating emotions on the one hand, and improving interaction with the social environment by recognizing the emotions of others and managing them – on the other. Moreover, in stressful situations, this type of intelligence allows you to optimize energy costs, manage stressors, gain useful experience, more effectively solve problems. Emotional intelligence is not a constant value and can be successfully developed as a result of specially designed programs or through life experience.

Trends in the teaching of legal disciplines in the military higher education institutions (MHEI) (military educational units of the higher education institutions (MEUHEI)), require the use of methods that correspond to the modern requirements used in leading educational institutions. One of these teaching methods, so-called "case study", founded at the Harvard University Business School (USA) back in 1924. And although historically this method has existed for almost a hundred years, it is not actively using not in all higher educational institutions of Ukraine in teaching legal disciplines. This method is different from others, the possibility of assimilation by the student of practical skills that are especially important for the future lawyer, regardless of the immediate future field of activity (judge, lawyer, prosecutor, etc.). This issue is especially relevant in the context of distance learning process, since the ability to assimilate information by students and receive the appropriate necessary competencies depends on the organization of training using modern teaching methods in online learning. The effectiveness of teaching legal discipline directly depends on the systematic development of classical situations that are repeated in practice. Therefore, "cases" should be selected taking into account the following criteria: relevance, repeatability in practice, difficulties, efficiency, the possibility of combining with other teaching methods, etc. A feature of the application of the case method in legal sciences is that the legislation of Ukraine is constantly changing, and the rules of law have not been changed. An increase in cognitive activity, the formation of a stable positive motivation of students is possible when using "case-methods" of teaching. Regarding competencies, the student using of this teaching method, will acquire communication skills, leadership, the ability to analyze information, and decision-making in a stressful situation.
GENDER AND AGE SUBJECTIVITY OF FOLKLORE TEXT CREATION: TO THE PROBLEM OF GENRE PARAMETERIZATION
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Ivanovska Olena , Overchuk Oksana ,   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv
Published: September 2022

The article regards gender and age subjectivity as a genre identifier of festive game texts in Ukrainian folklore. Drawing on the previous theoretical studies of the issue, the researchers introduce into folklore discourse little-known data that highlight the prerequisites for the transition of ritual folklore into the realm of cultural game practices. The article objectifies Arnold van Gennep's three-level structure of the rite of passage and studies Ukrainian ritual folklore, which proves that entering a festive event, going through its climax and returning to the profane everyday chronotope regulate a certain ritual marked with a distinct stereotypical behaviour of the actants in ritual practices. In addition, the researchers point out the nature of genre modifications caused by temporal changes in the functional paradigm, desacralized traditional meanings, digression from gender and age standards in relation to text relays, which entails changes of the folklore text. The study reveals the tendency to shift ritual practices, calendar and everyday folklore towards children's game subjectivity as well as the tendency towards the gradual loss of the initial sacral function of the syncretic text, the divergence from gender and age standards of actant in the ritual, the indiscriminate attitude to temporal and spatial parameters of ritual text actualization and simulacrization of the ritual inventory. These features of cultural practices enable the authors conclude that there is a transition from a ritual to a game (ritual → game). The authors extensively use the term 'space of a festive game text in Ukrainian folklore' since they insist on broadening the scope of folklore research as the fundamental branch within the humanities, as a specific dynamic literary system whose constituent categories are subjectivity of a people, a community, an individual as well as content semiotics, transmission of traditional meanings and text narrativity.
LINGUISTIC SCHOLIA TO THE UKRAINIAN TRANSLATION OF THE 1th – 3th PSALMS
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kozhushnui Oleh
Published: September 2022

The author of the article claims that the translation of the Psalter into the contemporary Ukrainian literary language and its comprehensive study remain urgent for the domestic scientific and theological community despite the individual attempts to implement this project. The correlation of the Hebrew and the Greek texts as well as their adequate reproduction in the Ukrainian language, taking into account the active centuries-old use of the Slavic translation is a problem for the contemporary translators. Pointing out a practical way to solve this problem, the author proposes his own linguistic scholia to the Masoretic, Greek and Slavic texts of the first three Psalms and also offers a version of their translation. The original texts from Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia and Septuaginta were used for the work, as well as the commonly used text of the Psalter in the Church Slavonic language. As for Ukrainian translators, the researcher focuses on the liturgical Psalter in the Kyiv translation of 1920, the text of which was edited in 1947 by professors of the Ukrainian Theological Academy in Munich, and the Book of Psalms from the translation department of the Ukrainian Bible Society in 2016: this text claims to be academic and is the latest linguistic word on this topic in Ukrainian biblical studies. Analyzing the original texts, the researcher pays special attention to the basic poetic principle of the biblical poetry – parallelism. He also analyzes individual lexemes, expressions and difficult-to-understand passages, which have repeatedly become the subject of professional discussion, and gives possible options for their translation. The material presented in the article will be useful not only for the Ukrainian specialists in the biblical studies but also for philologiststranslators, literary scholars – all those who are interested in hermeneutics and exegesis of the biblical texts.
CLASSIC DETECTIVE IN UKRAINIAN LITERATURE (BASED ON THE CYCLE "THE ACUMEN OF DR. PIDDUBNY" BY YURI SHOVKOPLIAS)
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Riabchenko Maryna
Published: September 2022

Mass literature is an integral and important part of the literary process. This literary segment has long been unable to fully develop due to complex historical and social circumstances in the Ukrainian space. The revival and active existence of genres of Ukrainian mass literature at the present stage contribute to the actualization of numerous literary studies. Detective is considered as one of the most popular genres of mass literature in this investigation. The purpose of the article is to trace the peculiarities of the formation of a classic detective in Ukrainian mass literature, to investigate its compliance with the generally accepted formula and to analyse the authentic features. The object of research is a series of stories "The acumen of dr. Piddubny" by Yuri Shovkoplias. Research methods: philological, principles of receptive aesthetics, comparative analysis. The theoretical basis of the study are works of J. Cawelti (theory of formula literature), O. Romanenko, J. Tsymbal, T. Gulyak and others. The article traces the evolution of the detective genre in foreign and Ukrainian literature. It was found that the emergence of the detective in the Ukrainian literature took place in the 1920s, and the founder of the formula of the classic detective can be considered Yuri Shovkoplias. A comparative analysis of the stories "The acumen of dr. Piddubny" showed that the writer, creatively rethinking the famous image of Sherlock Holmes, creates a Ukrainian detective, endowing it with authentic features. Such features are: dr. Piddubny has his quirks; although he uses the obligatory deductive method, he has his own scheme of investigating the crime; the image of the Ukrainian detective corresponds to the realities of the twenties of the twentieth century, etc. Yuri Shovkoplias also complements the already existing formula of the classic detective. He develops his own immutable scheme of events, which is present in each of the works of the cycle. He asserts the domestic analogue of the detective story in this way.

Published: September 2022

Investigated here are slogans, recorded in Internet communication and media space during the full-scale war of the Russian Federation against Ukraine, which the authors attribute to the folklorized texts of the folklore of the resistance. Attention is paid to justification of the choice of the research topic, the conditions of material fixation. It is also noted that the folklorist is limited in the ability to communicate with respondents during the active phase of the war. Therefore, the folklore material is recorded from various available sources. If available, its history of origin is described, the way of folklorization and existence in today's communicative space is drawn. It is emphasized that the recorded folklorized small communicative forms – slogans – play an important consolidating role of the people in the rear, unifying – uniting the people and the army as a single force in the fight against the enemy, informative – confirming the indomitable Ukrainian spirit and desire for freedom, democratic values for understanding civilized world and political establishment. An attempt to classify the studied samples thematically was made. It allowed the authors to trace the semantic and emotional-psychological load of these folklorized texts. All texts are classified by the authors into the following groups: slogans-glories (greetings), slogans-greetings, slogans-jokes, slogans-thanksgiving, slogans-statements, slogans-oaths, slogans-orders, slogans-threats, slogans-statements, slogans-requests and slogan-invective. It is also determined that the top slogans of the full-scale war are the slogan-greeting «Good evening, we are from Ukraine!» and the sloganinvective "Russian warship, go…!". It is confirmed that the tradition of using the slogan form of communication during the liberation struggle, active phases of aggravation of political confrontation, military aggression of the "brotherly people" remains unchanged. Traditional Ukrainian slogan-glories "Glory to Ukraine! – Glory to the heroes!", "Glory to the nation! – Death to the enemies!" carry the main semantic load of steadfastness and love of freedom of the Ukrainian people. They are used as a daily greeting among both military and civilian nationally conscious citizens. In the future the recorded material may be the subject of further scientific visions of the folklore of the resistance during the full-scale war of 2022.
STYLISTICS OF PHRASEOLOGY IN MULTIMEDIA COMMUNICATION: A NEW SEARCH
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Syzonov Dmytro
Published: September 2022

The article expands the concept of phraseology in accordance with the reorientation of linguistics to functional. Emphasis is placed on neolinguistic ideas that are dominant in the 21th century. We analyzed the stylistic potential of traditional, semantically modified and new phraseology. The focus is on innovative media and multimedia communication, which are popular in the modern world. Research material – multi-format media genres (screen media and social networks, genres of virtual communication, etc.). The article uses phraseology from tsn.ua; zn.ua; unian.ua sites, their TV analogues and Internet clones (in messengers, social media, citylights). Research methodology – new mediastylistic methods, in particular media screening and media monitoring, which helped to objectify the presented results. It is proved that the emergence of phraseology of new media is influenced by extralinguistic factors, including the process of globalization, information modifications and total digitalization. The concept of Digital Age has been expanded from the stylistic point of view, which objectifies the entry of new phraseology into the information flow, which opens new opportunities for the manipulative possibilities of the language resource in the new media reality. New approaches to mediastylistic interpretation of phraseology in accordance with the syncretism of innovative media have been proposed, in particular in (a) social networks, (b) new information media resources; (c) creolized internet communication; (d) advertising and PR. It is concluded that the new context creates new opportunities for phraseology: the resource of phraseology in the media allows to achieve key functions in mass communication – to inform and persuade the recipient, influence his emotions, entertain and educate.

Authors: Angurala Mohit , Bala Manju , Khullar Vikas
Published: September 2022

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are made up of small battery-powered sensors that can sense and monitor a variety of environmental conditions. These devices are self-contained and fault tolerant. The majority of WSNs are built to perform data collection tasks. These data are gathered and then sent to the sink node. Small packets are sent towards the sink node in such cases, and as a result, the areas near the sink node become congested, becoming the bottleneck of the entire network. In this paper, a survey of existing techniques or methods for detecting and eliminating congestions is conducted. Finally, a comparison in the form of a table based on various matrices is presented.

The IoT technology is seeking the attention of industry and researcher day by day due to its large number of applications and is off monitoring and controlling the object from the remote location. The very basic and important element of IoT is wireless sensor network where sensor nodes are attached with the object and generates the sensory data related to the object an actuator can provide the movement to the object. To make it a success reliable and efficient communication model is the main requirement. To fulfil the objective related to IoT application success in this paper a communication protocol called virtual infrastructure based routing algorithm is proposed. In this proposal a virtual cross region structure is formed in the central of the sensor network, which is called meeting region. In this meeting region the sensor nodes send their generated data and the gateway node receives those data.  The problem of energy hole, the mobile gateway node is considered in this proposal. The proposed algorithm is implemented using the standard wireless sensor network simulator tool and compared the performance of the proposed algorithm with the existing algorithm based on some standard performance metrics. The simulation outcome exhibits that the proposed algorithm outperformed the existing algorithms in different performance metrics.

Refrigerating units are widely used in various sectors for artificial cold generation. While maintaining low temperatures, refrigerating machines produce a large amount of heat at cooling and condensation of a refrigerant on the high pressure side. The heat produced is not used in any way and is emitted into the environment. The article offers a circuit of a refrigerating machine that makes it possible to utilize the condensation heat and to transfer it to various consumers of heat energy at the facilities, thereby reducing the heat emission into the atmosphere and increasing technological capabilities of cooling. The methods for selection of heat exchange apparatuses, included in the circuit, which make it possible to utilize the condensation heat, are described. This methodology can be used when designing refrigeration circuits for new facilities as well as for modernization of circuits of already operating refrigeration factories.

The paper is focused on the development of the digital twin of the hydraulic control valve for continuous control of the oil flow – servovalve or control valve – and their use by the testing of the control system of the test rig for the measurement and evaluation of the characteristics of the valve. The structure of the mathematical model of the control valve enables to do the parameterisation for different types and sizes of the control valves only using the catalogue data delivered by the valve producers. In the next step the created and parameterized model is implemented into the dSpace MicroLabBox for the real time realisation of the digital twin. The MicroLabBox is equipped with the analogue inputs and outputs and allows the connection of the digital twin to the control system in the same way as the real servovalve. Finally, the characteristics of the valve are measured and evaluated using the HiL simulation of the digital twin. The digital twin of the servovalve allows the testing of the developed control system and software for the hydraulic test rig for the measurement of the valve characteristics without the need of the real valves different types.
A COMBINED MULTI-PRESSURE SWITCHED INERTANCE HYDRAULIC CONTROL CONCEPT OF A DIFFERENTIAL CYLINDER
Authors:   Johannes Kepler University Linz, Linz, Austria, SCHEIDL RUDOLF , WOESS DANIEL ,   Johannes Kepler University Linz, Linz, Austria
Published: September 2022

Control of hydraulic drives using more than two pressure lines is studied as a means for improving energy efficiency, e.g. for excavators or for hydraulic power take off from sea wave power plant systems. All combinations of switching n different pressure levels to a differential cylinder provide in general 2.n force levels. In order to facilitate forces between these levels for a proper motion control, this digital concept was combined with throttling control. This, of course, causes energetic losses. In this paper a combination of multi-pressure and switched inertance control is presented and studied theoretically by mathematical modelling and simulation. The integration of the switched inertance part requires only a pipeline as an inertance element and a so called “Mikota resonator” flow and pressure ripple suppression. Simulation results show a good motion control performance and an efficiency gain over intermediate force adjustment by throttling in load lifting.

The rated pressure of common hydraulic pumps varies depending on their principle and geometric displacement but generally doesn’t significantly exceed 400bar threshold. While this is perfectly adequate for most industrial and off-highway applications, there are applications requiring very high force that cannot be achieved by the linear actuator supplied with common pump pressure due to the space constraints placed upon the actuator. Increasing the pressure by means of pressure amplification resolves this problem. This presentation deals with principle, design considerations, applications, and benefits of hydraulic cartridge pressure amplifiers integrated directly into the hydraulic linear actuators and developed by PistonPower. The resulting linear actuator with integrated pressure amplifier thus features higher power density compared to the conventional hydraulic linear actuators.

The paper deals with the comparison of the energy consumption of hydraulic systems for controlling the moves of the UDS 214 telescopic excavator. To compare energy losses in the hydraulic circuits for controlling the UDS 214 excavator moves, the flow rates of hydraulic oil were measured with a Hydrotechnik MultiSystem 5060 digital meter in these hydraulic circuits. Firstly, for the state of the UDS 214 excavator before the hydraulic system upgrade and then for the state of the excavator after the hydraulic system innovation. For the each hydraulic circuit, the hydraulic oil flow rates between the Bosch Rexroth A8VO107 double axial piston pump and the Bosch Rexroth 7M8-22 manifold were measured firstly and subsequently between the manifold and the appliance. The total power losses of the individual hydraulic circuits were then determined from the values measured in this way and applying a number of calculations. From these calculated power losses, the efficiency of individual hydraulic circuits was evaluated in the excavator state before and after the hydraulic system innovation.
The Notion of “Digital Sovereignty” in Modern World Politics
Authors: Rebro O. , Gladysheva A. , Suchkov M. , Sushentsov A.
Published: September 2022

The global digital revolution transforms technological and economic structures, social relations and the very philosophy of human life. Along with that, it has a dramatic impact on states as key actors in international relations. For many centuries sovereignty has been a fundamental principle of a functioning state and has been mainly defined in physical and geographical terms. However, the transboundary nature of the digital environment has brought new issues to the agenda: how actors, including states, should function in a new digital reality; where the borders between the ‘national’ and the ‘transnational’ should lie and by which rules the new environment should be regulated. The key question summarizing all the above-stated is: ‘What does “state sovereignty” mean in the digital era?’. To answer this question, the article identifies key characteristics of digital space vis-à-vis sovereignty, studies the evolution of two approaches to the internet – as a new exceptional environment or as the next stage of telecommunications’ development – and points out challenges to maintaining digital sovereignty along with ways to mitigate them. Noting that the digital space is a unique environment for intergovernmental interaction which continuously evolves due to technological progress and the socio-economic practices, the authors observe the organic emergence of cyber-borders which brings seemingly obsolete idea of state sovereignty back into play. Modern states face a difficult challenge: how to find effective mechanisms to ensure sovereignty in the digital space without losing the benefits of the digital revolution while guaranteeing the equality and security of all parties involved. The absence of unified methodology and generally accepted conceptual terms in the previous scientific studies and political practice underpins the academic novelty of the research. At the same time, the study is practically oriented, since it is the digital technological sovereignty of the state that serves as a basis of its leadership in the new era and as a necessary condition for establishing and maintaining political independence and national coherence.
International Migration and Labor Markets During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Ryazantsev S. , Gnevasheva V.
Published: September 2022

Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, international migration was a global process with multilateral population movements between states. Migration provided countries with significant opportunities for development, providing an influx of intellectual capital, labor, and financial resources. For example, in some developing countries, remittances from migrant workers have been comparable to, and in recent years even exceeded, FDI and aid. According to the UN in 2020, every seventh inhabitant of the Earth was a migrant. In fact, migration has become a global factor in the development of societies and economies. The COVID-19 pandemic has made significant adjustments to international migration, and has also significantly transformed both international and national labor markets. In relation to the international labor market, the pandemic can be seen as a negative externality, and the result of its negative impact was the failure of the economy in general and the labor market in particular. The failure of the labor market was expressed in the instability of supply and demand, which led to a change in working conditions and employment, an increase in structural imbalances in terms of compensation for work and the distribution of labor resources across sectors of the economy, as well as a decrease in the importance of professional forms of organization of the workforce. With regard to the processes of international migration, one can state the formation of the phenomenon of the “post-COVID syndrome”, which refers to the restoration of the scale of migration flows after a pandemic, accompanied by a transformation of the factors and structure of migration. Due to the high importance of migration flows for national economies and the world economy, these changes will be able to significantly transform the international and national labor markets, in which migrants occupied significant niches. In this regard, the issue of monitoring and improving the mechanisms for managing migration in crisis and post-COVID conditions at the international and national levels is being updated.

Published: September 2022

UNC Greensboro’s vision is to be a national model for how a public research university can achieve access and excellence to transform students, the institution, and the community. With origins as the segregated Woman’s College (WC), our evolution as a southern metropolitan public university reflects race, place, and their intertwined historical legacies. Embedded inclusive excellence, as a heuristic, frames the intentional, synergistic, and organic processes we engage to advance faculty diversity, and a more inclusive learning environment. Specifically, borrowing a central concept from economics, we illustrate cultural, structural/institutional, and social “embeddedness” that has supported significant and positive changes at our university.

Published: September 2022

In light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the health disparities plaguing our communities are highlighted more than ever. Community-based learning (CBL) and community-based participatory research (CBPR) provide a highly relevant framework in addressing health problems, especially those related to the Social Determinants of Health (AHRQ, 2020). Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, the team at the Community Health Division (CHD) within the Family Medicine Department of Georgetown University School of Medicine (GUSOM) maintained and deepened relationships with community partners through engagement activities, which not only actively addressed community needs but also acted as an educational tool for a growing number of interdisciplinary students. This paper explores the effectiveness of CBL and CBPR as a framework, even when presented with challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. It further underscores how students at Georgetown University have become more intimately involved in community health engagement during the pandemic. This serves as an encouraging model for establishing a student-based research learning community.

Published: September 2022

Academic Medical Centers (AMC) are unique healthcare resources that offer services to their local communities. As societal priorities shift, AMCs are identifying approaches to practice community engagement. Although many examples of AMCs exist in the literature, few have targeted resources for specific health topics like occupational health. This case study identifies examples of community engagement from AMCs around the U.S. It also offers a unique perspective of community engagement from the Rocky Mountain Center for Occupational and Environmental Health (RMCOEH), housed within the Department of Family and Preventative Medicine at the University of Utah. This center is one of eighteen National Institutes for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) Education and Research Centers (ERC). We use the Community Engagement Continuum to consider community engagement across various degrees of relationship between the public and AMCs, including outreach, consulting, involvement, collaboration, and shared leadership. Continuing education, course work connecting students with the community, and multiorganization research projects are approaches RMCOEH uses to engage with communities. Although there are many ways for AMCs like RMCOEH to serve the community, there are opportunities for AMCs to improve community engagement efforts through cultural shifts and community participation in projects. We explore such opportunities specifically for RMCOEH.
Exploration of provider exercise prescriptions and exercise referrals to place or professional: A pilot survey research study
Authors: Smock Carissa , Chatfield Sheryl , Falletta Lynn , Hallam Jeffrey S. , Alemagno Sonia
Published: September 2022

Background: Physical inactivity contributes to roughly $28 billion in annual US health care expenditures, although few US-based providers write exercise prescriptions (EPs). Little research has explored the practice of provider referrals to places for exercise as part of an EP or part of general exercise counseling, despite the known relationship between place and health. The purpose of this pilot study, conducted with Northeast Ohio-based providers, was to assess a new instrument designed to explore provider practices related to EP and referral to place and professional.Methods: The 88-item survey combined standardized and new items to fully address the purpose. Providers were surveyed via paper and online methods. Logistic regression was conducted to explore factors related to referrals to a specific place or exercise professional.Results: Of 166 providers who completed the survey, 14.8% of prescribed exercise to patients and 54.3% referred patients to an exercise professional or specific place. Logistic regression analysis suggested that physicians who prescribed exercise were more likely to provide a referral to professional or place (OR = 6.12, 95% CI = 1.36 – 27.47) while physicians who had accurate knowledge of exercise recommendations were less likely to provide a referral to a professional or place (OR = 0.15, 95% CI = 0.04 – 0.57).Conclusions: A key reason for failure to prescribe place-based exercise referrals was provider unfamiliarity with convenient and safelocations other than health system owned fitness facilities, so provision of exercise location resources for providers potentially willincrease use of EPs.

The Relationship between Tobacco Retailer Density and Neighborhood Demographics in Ohio
Authors: Adibe Chiche , Craigmile Peter F. , Onnen Nathaniel , Schwartz Elli , Roberts Megan E.
Published: September 2022

Introduction: Studies from various parts of the country suggest that tobacco-related health disparities are exacerbated by disparitiesin the distribution of tobacco retailers (convenience stores, tobacco shops, etc.). The purpose of the present study was to use advancedspatial modeling techniques for count data to estimate current disparities in tobacco retailer density in Ohio.Methods: We identified and geocoded 11,392 tobacco retailers in Ohio. Next, we obtained census tract-level information on race/ethnicity, poverty, and age and obtained county-level information on whether an area was Urban, Suburban, or Rural. Finally, we used negative binomial generalized linear models, adapted for residual spatial dependence, to determine the association between per capita tobacco retailer density and demographic characteristics—summarized by adjusted rate ratios.Results: There were more (from 1.4-1.9 times as many) retailers per capita in high-poverty vs. low-poverty tracts. Poverty also interacted with age: the association between high poverty and high retailer density was stronger for tracts with a low youth population. Density was also greater in tracts with a high (vs. low) prevalence of African Americans (1.1 times as many) and Hispanics (1.2 times as many). Finally, density was generally greater in rural (vs. suburban or urban) tracts, although the effect was modified by a three-way interaction: density was particularly high for rural tracts that also had both a high prevalence of poverty and a low youth population.Discussion: Overall, our findings indicate that Ohio’s vulnerable populations are exposed to a greater per capita density of tobaccoretailers. There is a need for state and local-level tobacco control policies that will improve equity and reduce health disparities.

Some of these initiatives are guided by the Pathways Community HUB model, which uses community healthworkers to address health, social, and behavioral risks for at-risk populations. This study documents the development, challenges andmanagement responses, and lessons learned from implementing a Pathways Community HUB care coordination program for anotherpopulation -- low-income adults with chronic disease risks.Methods: The study utilizes data extracted from the Care Coordination Systems (CCS) database used in Lucas County, Ohio between2015 and 2017 and interviews with program managers. Based on CCS data and insights from those interviewed, we describe the development and accomplishments of a Pathways Community HUB program for adults with chronic illnesses and identify challenges and lessons learned.Results: The Toledo/Lucas County program addressed more than half of 3,515 identified health and behavioral risks for 651 low-income adults in the program during its first two years of operation. Key challenges included building community support, establishing capacities to coordinate care, and sustaining the program over time. Establishing community networks to support program services and developing multiple funding sources are key lessons for long-term program sustainability.Conclusions: Documenting challenges and successes of existing programs and extracting lessons to guide implementation of similarpublic health efforts can potentially improve delivery of interventions. The Pathways Community HUB model has demonstrated success in addressing risks among at-risk adults. However, more comprehensive assessments of the model across different populations are warranted.

Background: The ecological fallacy is broadly understood, though its complimentary problem, the individualistic or atomistic fallacy, isless often considered. Multilevel models offer the statistical tools needed to avoid both errors by allowing simultaneous considerationof individual, contextual, and policy factors. This study applies such methods to smoking cessation data. Tobacco control is of particularconcern in Ohio where the adult smoking prevalence remains around 22%.Methods: Data from the 1,785 participants in the Technology Enhanced Quitline Study were used to test the theory that contextualfactors impact relapse rates and program effectiveness, employing a mixed-effects model to account for the nested nature of the datawhile testing for the relationship between contextual factors and relapse, controlling for individual characteristics.Results: No contextual factors or policy variables were significant predictors of smoking relapse in the sample, nor were any associated with the success of the intervention.Conclusions: While this work could not identify specific influences of contextual and policy factors on smoking outcomes in our sample, it demonstrates the feasibility of adding such predictors to future clinical trials. This project clearly does not rule out the possibility that contextual and policy factors may influence smoking even after controlling for individual characteristics, but does not provide strong evidence of such a link. It is possible that these negative findings may be due to geocoded mailing addresses being a poor proxy for relevant contextual factors, use of the wrong geographic unit of analysis (modifiable areal unit problem), or a lack of temporal resolution in contextual variables.

Background: Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine has been recommended for males in the United States since 2011, yet little is known about vaccine coverage among adolescent males in Ohio. Our longitudinal study examined HPV vaccine coverage among adolescent males in Ohio and identified predictors of vaccination.Methods: The Buckeye Teen Health Study recruited adolescent males aged 11 to 16 years and their parents from 1 urban county and 9 rural counties in Ohio. We report longitudinal vaccination data on 1126 adolescent males, with baseline data from 2015-2016 and follow-up data from 2017-2018. We used multivariable Poisson regression to identify predictors of HPV vaccine initiation that occurred between baseline and follow-up.Results: At baseline, 42.4% of parents reported their sons had initiated the HPV vaccine series. Among parents whose sons were unvaccinated at baseline, 36.3% indicated initiation at follow-up. Initiation at follow-up was more com-mon among sons who had received influenza vaccine (RR = 1.54, 95% CI = 1.08-2.18) or whose parents indicated lack of a recent visit to a doctor as the main reason for not yet vaccinating at baseline (RR = 1.41, 95% CI = 1.02-1.95). Initiation was less common among sons whose parents had an associate degree or some college education (RR = 0.28, 95% CI = 0.46-0.99). Main reasons for not vaccinating changed from baseline to follow-up among parents of unvaccinated sons.Conclusion: Although HPV vaccine initiation increased over time, many adolescent males in Ohio remain unvac-cinated. Findings can help guide future strategies for increasing HPV vaccine coverage among this population.

Background: Globally, harmful algal blooms (HABs) in freshwater are both a historical and an ongoing issue for human, animal, and ecosystem health and have dramatic impacts on local communities. Multiple taxa of cyanobacteria, including Microcystis, Planktothrix, and Anabaena species can produce cyanotoxins. Exposure to these toxins may cause mild to severe adverse health effects.Methods: An orchestrated effort was made by a team from multiple academic disciplines, public health agencies including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and community stakeholders to engage the human and animal health communities to prepare for and respond to the emerging health threat of cyanotoxins from HABs.Results: Our public health practice approaches reached multiple targeted stakeholders from public health, human, and animal health sectors. The team also helped promote the newly established nationwide One Health Harmful Algal Bloom (OHHABs) initiative in a HABs hotspot in Ohio.Conclusion: Harmful algal blooms are a One Health issue demonstrating the interactions between animal, human, and ecological health. Environmental monitoring can provide early detection of environmental events, such as HABs, that pose both public health and ecological health threats. Public health surveillance can identify human and animal health events that may be linked to local environmental events
