Walter Rothschild's second Great Auk skeleton: a history of its posthumous voyage.
Authors: STEINHEIMER FRANK D.
Published: August 2019

ABSTRACT:

The second complete Great Auk skeleton (Pinguinus impennis) formerly in Walter Rothschild's possession, previously thought lost, has been located. It was sold by Rowland Ward in 1905 to Georg Albert Girtanner, St Gallen, Switzerland. After Girtanner's death in 1907 the skeleton passed to the Senckenbergische Naturforschende Gesellschaft in Frankfurt, Germany. A newly discovered letter, from Girtanner to Ernst Hartert, curator of Rothschild's collection at Tring, helps to reconstruct the posthumous voyage of this Great Auk skeleton.

Utilization of Mental Healthcare Services among Refugees: Past, Present and Future
Authors: Xin Huaibo
Published: August 2019

There has been an increasingly large number of refugees in the U.S. and worldwide. Compared to the general population, historically, refugees presented a higher prevalence and incidence of mental disorders due to their traumatic/stressful experiences. However, the unmet needs of mental healthcare among refugees remain significant. The purpose of this study is to systematically review the current literature and identify the challenges that refugees were facing to receive mental healthcare in western countries as well as clinical and non-clinical ap- proaches that may effectively address their mental healthcare needs. A total of 79 peer-reviewed journal articles, reports, and book chapters published between 1985 and 2018 and obtained from major databases were included in the final analysis. Data were extracted and synthesized into categories of barriers for refugees to utilizing mental healthcare in the U.S. and other western countries, and effectiveness of current approaches to address refugees’ mental illnesses. Results indicated that the vast majority of barriers existed in both U.S. and other western countries were common. In response, four themes emerged to improve refugees’ utilization of mental healthcare, including adopting effective westernized trauma-focused mental health treatment; recognizing traditional and culturally relevant mental health coping mechanism; overcoming existing practical barriers within both refugee communities and western mental healthcare systems; emphasizing comprehensive/integrative mental healthcare models. Future endeavor should focus more on systematically integrating planned cultural competency training and education into existing curriculum, strengthening the quality of mental healthcare research with refugees, and advocating for funding support for mental healthcare services, training, and research.

The purpose of this study was to validate a one-minute abdominal SEMO crunch test by comparing it to the Canadian Curl-up Test (CCT). The SEMO crunch test was designed to evaluate muscular endurance via a one-minute timed effort. The CCT is a valid curl up test which ensures that an equal amount of work is being performed with each repetition. The advantage of the SEMO crunch test is time efficiency when testing large groups of subjects. All participants [n=179 (82 females; 97 males)] voluntarily consented to the study. Mean age (M=21.6 yr, F=21.4 yr), height (M=180.6 cm, F=165.8 cm), weight (M=79.7 kg, F=61.1 kg), and hours of activity per week (M=8.1, F=6.8) were reported for the participants. Participants were given specific instructions for each test prior to administration. The order of testing was counterbalanced and a minimum five-minute resting period between the two tests was required. Correlation coefficient between the CCT and the SEMO crunch test demonstrated a weak but significant relationship (r=0.185, p<0.01). The correlation coefficient for females was significant (r=0.325, p<0.01), however, the correlation coefficient for males (r=0.058, p>0.05) was not. The results indicate the SEMO crunch test is valid, however, the practical significance is questionable due to the poor relationship with the CCT. In addition, there appears to be a difference between males and females which may be attributable to the nature of the criterion measure.

Authors: Goddard Stacy , Sheppard Meg , Thompson Kip , Konecny Lynda
Published: August 2019

Objective: Differences were assessed in disaster preparedness levels of college students at a large Midwest university based on knowledge, risk perception, beliefs, prior enrollment in a Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) or first aid class, and self-efficacy was assessed.

Methods: College students between the ages of 18 and 24 years old were recruited from a general education class and from students who walked by a high-traffic area
in the student union to complete a 27-item survey. A disaster preparedness score was calculated based on items each participant indicated he or she currently possessed at home. Participant responses were also dichotomized into knowledge (advanced vs. basic) risk perception (high vs. low), belief (strong vs. weak), CERT or first aid enrollment (yes vs. no), and self-efficacy (high vs. low) groups based on how the participant answered specific items on the survey. An independent samplest test was used to analyze the differences in disaster preparedness levels between each dichotomized group.

Results: There was no significant difference (p=0.789) found between the strong beliefs (M=7.97, SD=3.478) and the weak beliefs group (M=7.88, SD=3.099), t(384) = -4.978.

Conclusions: Based on the findings of this study, health education programs that focus on improving knowledge, self-efficacy in preparing for a disaster, and risk perception of experiencing a disaster will increase the disaster preparedness levels of college students. Universities partnering with community emergency management agencies and offering CERT or first aid classes to college students can increase the disaster preparedness levels of college students and potentially improve response and recovery after a disaster.
A Review of Refugees’ Access to Health Insurance in the USA
Authors: Xin Huaibo
Published: August 2019

Current literature indicates an increased disease burden among refugees resettled worldwide as well as in the U.S. Both prevalence and incidence of infectious diseases, chronic diseases, and health conditions are high or higher compared to the general American population. The question raised is how well refugee populations have been responding to their medical expenses. The purpose of this study is through a systematic literature review to identify the challenges of accessing health insurance among U.S. refugees, and to advocate for a healthcare policy change. More than 400 peer-reviewed journal articles and book chapters obtained from major databases, and published between 2005 and 2018 were reviewed. Fourteen articles related to the U.S. refugees and health insurance, were included in the final analysis. Seven themes emerged. Results suggested that (1) Compared to the general or minority populations, U.S. refugees were more likely to be uninsured or underinsured; (2) Refugees demonstrated the unaffordability of medical co-payments; (3) There was a lack of full coverage of medical needs; (4) There was a lack of affordable private insurance plans; (5) There was a lack of understanding of the U.S. health insurance application; (6) U.S. refugees struggled to navigate both government and private health insurance; And (7) Refugees had difficulty in understanding the U.S. healthcare policies. More research is needed to specifically examine the accessibility and affordability of health insurance among multiethnic refugee populations in the U.S. Social determinants (e.g., employment, education, and income) should also be addressed in consideration of getting refugees fully insured.

Authors: Lo Chia-Lun
Published: August 2019

The healthcare market has many characteristics that distinguish it from other industries, among which asymmetric information is the most frequently discussed. Oftentimes, due to limited access to information, patients are unable to gain full health information and make the most appropriate choices or decisions, regardless of whether or not they are under physician supervision or engage in self-care at home. Hence, the enhancement of health information and health literacy is the crucial option for improving the health status of the general public. The purpose of this paper is to explore the relationship model to determine the impact of health literacy on health status of people with diabetes.

Within the Social Determinants of Health Framework, various barriers and facilitators to implementing HIV and STI prevention activities within these faith-based organizations have been identified. The Southern Nevada Teen Pregnancy Prevention project implemented an evidence-based teen pregnancy prevention intervention targeting African American youth ages 14-19 years in African American faith-based organizations in Clark County, NV. This manuscript presents the lessons learned from this project. In addition to confirming some of the barriers and facilitators previously identified in the literature, this manuscript also identifies additional barriers and facilitators based on the experiences of this project, which can further enhance future work with these organizations.
The Northern Sea Route as a Tool of Arctic Development
Authors: Zvorykina Ju.V. , Teteryatnikov K.S.
Published: August 2019

The article is devoted to the analysis of the role of the Northern Sea Route (NSR) in the socio-economic development of the Arctic zone of Russia. The authors believe that climate change, gradually leading to the melting of polar ice, opens up new opportunities for the development of Arctic resources and navigation in the seas of the Arctic Ocean. Of particular interest to the NSR are non-Arctic countries, critically dependent on the supply of foreign mineral and carbon resources, as well as on the export of their goods to Europe. Among them, China stands out, considering the NSR as the Arctic Blue Economic Corridor as part of the global Silk Road system. The NSR is intended to become an essential tool for further development of the Arctic zone of Russia. Development of port infrastructure and creation of a modern ocean and maritime fleet will accelerate the pace of socio-economic development of this strategically important region. To do this, it is necessary to adopt a federal law on special system of preferences for investors, including foreign ones, implementing their projects in the Arctic. Among such preferences there are preferential profit tax rates, reduction in Mineral Extraction Tax (MET) rates, a declarative procedure for VAT refunds, a simplified procedure for granting land plots and unchanged conditions for the implementation of investment projects. In addition, it is important to make the NSR safe and profitable both in terms of quality of service and of price for the shippers. In particular, the payment for icebreakers’ escort of vessels should be competitive and reasonable. The largest Russian private and state-owned companies should be involved into Arctic projects. It is important to synchronize the Arctic oil and gas projects with nuclear and LNG icebreakers’ construction, as well as with the launch of two logistics hubs in Murmansk and Kamchatka. In this case, year-round NSR navigation will be organized, which will ensure the high competitiveness of Russian products supplied to the Asian Pacific markets.

Neste estudo foi avaliada a eficiência do material de diferentes estruturas (alimentadores automáticos e caixa de armazenagem) na armazenagem das rações em viveiro de piscicultura. Os tipos de alimentadores testados foram: AFP (alimentador flutuante de polietileno) AFM (alimentador fixo de metal) e CAF (caixa d’água de fibra de vidro). Foram coletadas amostras de ração na abertura da embalagem (realizadas em diferentes pontos da embalagem), depois, após 1, 3, 5 e 7 dias, em cinco pontos dentro dos alimentadores. A avaliação da qualidade das rações foi realizada por meio de análises bromatológicas e TBARS. Durante o período de coleta das amostras, também foram aferidas temperatura e umidade do ar atmosférico e ambiente dentro das estruturas. Verificou-se que material estrutural do alimentador interfere na qualidade da ração, mas o período é a variável que mais influencia. No alimentador flutuante verificou-se maior umidade interna nos dias 3 e 7 (P<0,05). As rações sofreram alterações prejudiciais à sua qualidade no decorrer do tempo pela variação na composição bromatológica e atividade de TBARS. Nesse experimento o material de fibra apresentou maior eficiência na manutenção de qualidade de ração quando comparado aos demais, dessa forma sugere-se novas tecnologias ou outro tipo de estrutura para manter a qualidade da ração estocada. Apesar de a ração perder qualidade já no primeiro dia, não recomenda-se deixar mais que três dias a ração dentro da estrutura.

The day today operation and scheduling activities of a power generation unit requires the forecast of power demand to meet the needs of the consumers. Load forecasting is categorized into short, medium and long term forecasts. The short term prediction refers to hourly load forecast for the period lasting from an hour to more than a few days. The medium term forecasts is prediction of power load ranging from one to several months ahead. Finally, the long term forecast indicates prediction of power load ranging from one to many years in near future. Excellence of short term hourly power load forecast has a considerable effect on cost effective functioning of power plants because numerous assessments are dependent on these forecasts. These assessments comprise cost effective scheduling of power plants, scheduling of coal acquisition, power plant security consideration, and planning for energy related business. The significance of precise load forecasts will reduce the wastage of power in the future because of remarkable changes taking place in the structure of power generation industries due to deregulation and heavy competition. This situation creates thrust on the power generation sectors to function at maximum possible efficiency, which leads to precise forecasting of the power load.

Constrained netwrks like Wireless Sensor Networks have been identified as a promising scheme for next-generation wireless networks. These networks are capable of capturing data from the physical world without human intervention possessing applications such as IoT in various fields of life that require reliable and précised end to end delivery. However, Wireless Sensor Networks inevitably suffers from severe resource constraints and hence promising the provision of desired QoS is a challenge. In most of the applications like military, medical surveillance. Data captured are critical and hence the transmission of such data entails a minimal end to end delay. In constrained networks achieving minimal delay with effective utilization of resources are important cost factors for achieving an end to end delivery. In this Paper, a Software-defined Networking (SDN), based resource reservation protocol, which leverages SDN to centrally process the whole control logic and accordingly decides the amount of resources to be allocated for each data flow alleviating the processing overhead of all other nodes thus minimizing the energy consumption is proposed. The proposed algorithm is evaluated through simulation and the results obtained proved the efficiency of the proposed protocol by effectively minimizing the system’s energy consumption and end to end delay.

Wireless communication could be a requirement of this era as all industries are approaching for the internet of things and automation. Even supposing multiple choices are ready for wireless communication, Mobile ad hoc Network (M A N E T) gives wireless communication while not having any infrastructure. M A N E T typically adopts a preferred and well fitted routing protocol that is Ad hoc On Demand Distance Vector (A O D V). Stochastic topology inside M A N E T antecedent link breaks various times in network because of that feeble link quality that appears as packet extinction within the network. In the modern wireless communication study, it is noted that the performance of system deteriorates because of feeble link creation or link wreckage in the network. In this paper, link quality improvement in AODV routing protocol is focused. Link quality concern is proposed to resolve through Cross layer design (C L D) interaction in the OSI communication model. C L D enforced by interacting Physical initial layer and network middle layer of the OSI model, C L D facilitate in robust route formation in AODV named as C L D A O D V. The result exhibits growth within the system Performance in terms of factors like throughput, Packet Delivery Ratio (P D R) and decline in the packet losses and delays in the network.

The objective of this study is to investigate the fatigue behavior of sisal fiber reinforced with carbon nanotubes. The hand lay-up technique is used to prepare the composite material samples. The fatigue response of pure polymer matrix, composite material which is prepared by reinforcing a sisal fiber reinforced with a polymer matrix was studied. The effectiveness of nano reinforcement of fatigue response is identified from experiments. Later, the fatigue response of sisal and nano particle reinforced sisal fiber composites (hybrid composite) is identified with irregularities by using finite element based software ANSYS. The elastic properties of sisal fiber reinforced composite and carbon nanotube reinforced composite is estimated by using the principles of Micromechanics and Macro-mechanics. The failure mechanism of polymer, conventional sisal fiber composites and nano filled sisal fiber reinforced composites are identified. The effect of the shape of the irregularities on the fatigue response is also identified from ANSYS software. From the present work, it is observed that, the reinforcement of nano reinforcement has considerable influence on the fatigue response of the resulting composite.
