Diversifying Description
Authors: Curry Helen Anne
Published: August 2023

The organization of sweet potato research across global regions began in earnest in the 1980s. Leading international institutions, notably the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research, recognized the potential for science-driven development of a “neglected” crop. Sweet potato was second only to potato in root crop cultivation worldwide and the top tuber in Asia yet had not been subject to the internationally coordinated research that its importance merited. This article explores how scientists involved in sweet potato research attempted to respond to the call for new international research and development efforts while avoiding the limitations of predecessor programs associated with the Green Revolution. It highlights the challenges inherent in this work by focusing on ambitions for—and challenges to—providing standardized information about samples of varieties used in research and entered into gene bank collections. As scientists and institutions grappled with critiques of the top-down model of development, many sought to address these through more inclusive research practices. As the article shows, accommodating diversity in crops and among cultivators and cultures entailed costs that ultimately limited the longevity and effectiveness of some enterprises that sought to maximize inclusivity.
“We Are the Ones That Make the Treaty”: Michi Saagiig Lands and Islands in Southeastern Ontario
Authors: Murray Laura J.
Published: August 2023

The 1783 “Crawford Purchase” of Michi Saagiig (Mississauga) Anishinaabe lands at the northeast end of Lake Ontario is generally recognized as the first treaty in Upper Canada for purposes of settlement. Lacking deed, map, or signed treaty, it fails to meet the Crown’s own requirements for validity. More importantly, central elements do not match Michi Saagiig interests or understandings. Nineteenth-century testimony by Michi Saagiig leaders reveals a consistent claim to islands and other key shoreline spaces. These spaces had, and have, many dimensions of value, and Michi Saagiig claim to them demonstrates and enables the ongoing resilience of Michi Saagiig memory practices, political structures, and ecological relationships.
Malintzin’s Origins: Slave? Or Cultural Confusion?
Authors: Fitzmaurice Rosamund E.
Published: August 2023

One of the most famous figures in the conquest of Mexico, Malintzin, also known as La Malinche and Doña Marina, has been described in ethnohistorical accounts as an interpreter who came from slavery. But what if this assertion of Malintzin’s origins was a result of cultural confusion, or simply untrue? This article closely examines ethnohistorical sources and their description of Malintzin’s origins. Could cultural bias or cultural misunderstanding be present within them? How might these biases affect our reading of Malintzin’s supposed slave status? The article explores the role of exchange, political marriage, gift giving, and polygyny in Maya and Aztec culture to add further context to Malintzin’s transfer from Indigenous to Conquistador society. It theorizes that Malintzin was never intended to be given to the Spanish invaders as a slave but rather as a bride.

Published: August 2023

Environmental temperature is one of the most significant factors influencing the developmental rate and survival of embryos and larvae of many marine animals, including polychaetes. The aim of this study was to experimentally evaluate the effect of temperature increase on the embryonic development and larval survival of Spirobranchus incrassatus and S. cf. corniculatus. Adult worms of both species were collected from the western margin of the Gulf of Tehuantepec, Mexico. Embryos and larvae were obtained from these worms and exposed to four temperature treatments (28, 30, 32 and 34°C). The optimal temperature for embryonic development of S. incrassatus and S. cf. corniculatus was 30 and 28°C, respectively. For both species, the maximum critical temperature was 32°C and the lethal temperature was 34°C. The embryonic stages of S. cf. corniculatus were most negatively affected by elevated temperatures. Larval survivorship of S. incrassatus and S. cf. corniculatus was higher at 30°C and 28°C (76.2±2.8%; 72.6±4.2%) and lower at 34°C (28.9±2.6%; 26.3±2.9%), respectively. These results suggest that S. cf. corniculatus has the lowest thermal tolerance. Both Spirobranchus species already live near their upper limit of thermal tolerance in the study region (30°C). In the near future, under a global warming scenario, the distribution of both species could be modified, causing a loss of biodiversity, changes in the trophic chain, and alterations in the water column, such as excess organic matter.
insideOutside: an accessible algorithm for classifying interior and exterior points, with applications in embryology
Authors: Strawbridge Stanley E. , Kurowski Agata , Corujo-Simon Elena , Fletcher Alastair N. , Nichols Jennifer , Fletcher Alexander G.
Published: August 2023

A crucial aspect of embryology is relating the position of individual cells to the broader geometry of the embryo. A classic example of this is the first cell-fate decision of the mouse embryo, where interior cells become inner cell mass and exterior cells become trophectoderm. Fluorescent labelling, imaging, and quantification of tissue-specific proteins have advanced our understanding of this dynamic process. However, instances arise where these markers are either not available, or not reliable, and we are left only with the cells’ spatial locations. Therefore, a simple, robust method for classifying interior and exterior cells of an embryo using spatial information is required. Here, we describe a simple mathematical framework and an unsupervised machine learning approach, termed insideOutside, for classifying interior and exterior points of a three-dimensional point-cloud, a common output from imaged cells within the early mouse embryo. We benchmark our method against other published methods to demonstrate that it yields greater accuracy in classification of nuclei from the pre-implantation mouse embryos and greater accuracy when challenged with local surface concavities. We have made MATLAB and Python implementations of the method freely available. This method should prove useful for embryology, with broader applications to similar data arising in the life sciences.
Peripheral Modification of Tripodal Aza-Oxa-Crown Oxa-TriQuinoline
Authors: Kobayashi Toi , Sakurai Takuya , Kumagai Naoya
Published: August 2023

Oxa-TriQuinoline (o-TQ) is a new entry in the collection of aza-oxa-crown compounds featuring a semi-rigid flexible conformation and a tripodal ligation capability through three quinoline units. Herein, we describe the installation of functional groups and aromatic substituents on the outer edge of o-TQ to modulate its physicochemical properties. Amino and bromo substituents were regioselectively introduced at the 5-position, forming bowl-shaped Cu(I) complexes in which three quinoline units coordinated to Cu(I). X-ray crystallography indicated that these o-TQ derivatives preferred an almost identical geometry in both the absence and presence of Cu(I). In contrast to o-TQ, some new o-TQ derivatives exhibited photoluminescent properties in solution and/or in the solid state depending on the substituents.

Published: August 2023

Underserved populations, including racial/ethnic minorities, individuals with low socioeconomic status, and individuals with physical disabilities, are less likely to engage in sufficient moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and are thus at increased risk of morbidity and mortality. These populations face unique challenges to engaging in MVPA. Learning how to overcome these challenges is a necessary first step in achieving health equity through health promotion research. In this review of the literature, we discuss issues and strategies that have been used to promote MVPA among individuals from underserved populations, focusing on recruitment, intervention delivery, and the use of technology in interventions. Physical activity promotion research among these vulnerable populations is scarce. Nevertheless, there is preliminary evidence of efficacy in the use of certain recruitment and intervention strategies including tailoring, cultural adaptation, incorporation of new technologies, and multilevel and community-based approaches for physical activity promotion among different underserved populations.

Published: August 2023

Walking programs improve health outcomes in adults at risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD), and self-monitoring strategies can improve adherence to such programs. The objective of this study was to determine whether a 6-month Internet-based walking program using Web-enhanced pedometers results in more weight loss than walking programs based on time or simple pedometer step count goals in adults with or at risk for CVD. This was a multisite, randomized controlled trial of 255 male veterans who were ambulatory, insufficiently active, and with body mass index (BMI) ≥28, and who reported CVD risk factors ≥1 risk factors. Participants were randomized to one of three self-monitoring strategies to increase walking: 1) time-based walking goals; 2) simple pedometer-based walking goals; and 3) Web-enhanced pedometer feedback goals with Internet-mediated feedback. All participants also attended five individual weight loss sessions with a dietitian. The main outcome measure was change in weight at 6 months (kg), and the secondary outcomes were change in accelerometer-measured physical activity (min) and change in health-related quality of life at 6 months. The 255 participants had a mean age of 56.3 yr (SD = 10.0), BMI = 36.3 (SD = 5.3), with a mean value of 5.2 (SD = 2.3) medical comorbidities. Dropouts were distributed evenly across the three groups, and 72% of participants completed the program. At 6 months, participants in the Web-enhanced pedometer arm lost significantly more weight (−1.9 kg, 95% CI, −2.7 to −1.1) than those in the time-based group (−0.7 kg, 95% CI, −1.5 to 0.0; P = 0.04) and simple pedometer group (−0.6 kg, 95% CI, −1.4 to 0.2; P = 0.02). In conclusion, Internet-enhanced pedometers result in greater weight loss in veterans than in walking programs using time-based walking goals or simple pedometers.
The Effects of Exercise Training on the Traditional Lipid Profile and Beyond
Authors: Gordon Benjamin , Chen Stephen , Durstine J. Larry
Published: August 2023

The purpose of this review is to provide up-to-date information regarding the effects of aerobic and resistance exercise training on the traditional blood lipid and lipoprotein profile. In addition, emerging coronary artery disease (CAD) risk factors, such as postprandial lipemia (PPL) and metabolic syndrome (MetS), are reviewed. Numerous studies report that aerobic exercise combined with weight loss significantly reduces blood cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), very low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDL-C), and triglycerides (TG) while improving high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). Both aerobic and resistance training demonstrated a reduction in non-HDL-C independent of changes in body weight. Transient beneficial effects of a single session of aerobic exercise are observed for PPL. Nonetheless further research is needed to provide a better understanding of the potential mechanisms for reducing PPL. Exercise as an intervention for patients with MetS leads to improved CAD risk factors including atherogenic dyslipidemia, blood pressure, body composition, insulin sensitivity, and fat metabolism.

Published: August 2023

There is paucity of physical activity videos that are open access and visually feature diverse populations (i.e., varying age, race, and body mass index). These resources may better integrate with programs delivered in health disparate areas through visual role modeling. Through an integrated research–practice partnership, resources titled Move More, Virginia! were created to fill this gap. This study's purpose was to determine knowledge, perceptions, and usage of the new resources among peer educators who deliver community-based programming within Cooperative Extension. A mixed-methods design determined peer educators' sociodemographics, health-related characteristics, and Move More, Virginia! video perceptions. Two independent focus groups were conducted with a peer educator subset to further explore physical activity associated with their health educator roles. Researchers independently coded focus group transcriptions through a grounded theory approach to determine emergent themes and subthemes, expressed through meaning units (MU), related to resource perceptions. Quantitative data statistical analysis included independent t-tests and descriptive statistics. The peer educator majority were middle-aged females and considered overweight or obese. Focus group responses (n = 15) led to the emergence of four themes related to physical activity itself: barriers to incorporating physical activity into programs (n = 189 MU), physical activity facilitators (n = 106 MU), current delivery of physical activity (n = 102 MU), and physical activity barriers (n = 16 MU). When prompted to share video feedback, the top theme was positive video feedback (n = 105 MU). These findings provide deeper understanding of physical activity and the organizational culture of a statewide entity that may influence adoption of physical activity resources, thus guiding future translation of physical activity intervention within statewide programs.

Published: August 2023

This article describes the study design for ANDALE Pittsburgh, a culturally appropriate, family-based intervention to promote a healthy weight in Latino preschool children. The study was organized into two major phases: phase I—conduct focus groups with 30 Latino parents of preschool children to inform the development of a culturally appropriate intervention; phase II—test the feasibility and effectiveness of the intervention with 50 families. Participants were recruited from an emerging Latino community through community gatherings, flyers, and word of mouth. Six promotoras (females >18 yr, active in community) received 25 h of training using the intervention curriculum finalized after phase I. Promotoras delivered the home-based intervention to families for ten 90-min weekly sessions that included education, practice, and action (i.e., goal setting). Behavior modification constructs and strategies (e.g., goal setting, problem solving, and social support), and building of self-efficacy through healthy recipe preparation and physical activity breaks, were also included. Outcomes (e.g., child body mass index) were assessed pre- and postintervention. Process evaluation assessed fidelity, dose, reach, recruitment, and contextual factors using multiple data sources and mixed methods. The ANDALE Pittsburgh study will expand the body of knowledge on interventions to promote a healthy weight in Latino preschool children living in an emerging Latino community. If successful, this approach will be evaluated in a future, larger-scale intervention and provide a potential model to help to address and prevent obesity in this population.
How Are Community Health Workers Trained to Deliver Physical Activity to Adults? A Scoping Review
Authors: Ramalingam NithyaPriya Shivanthi , Strayer Thomas Edward , Breig Stephanie A. , Harden Samantha M.
Published: August 2023

Purpose

Community-based physical activity interventions are recommended because of increased reach and public health impact. To improve adult physical activity levels, access and availability of community-based interventions are needed, and delivery personnel must be trained to meet this need. However, there is a gap in the literature related to training and recruitment of the community health workers (CHW) who deliver these interventions to adults. The purpose of this study was to determine the characteristics of CHW who were trained to deliver in-person physical activity to adults, the structural and mechanistic components of physical activity trainings, and the effectiveness of these trainings.

Methods

A scoping review of peer-reviewed literature was conducted from November 2017 to January 2018. The review was limited to CHW training on adult physical activity delivery that reported reach, effect, or outcomes of training. The search was conducted in PubMed and EBSCOhost and included articles published from 1995 (coinciding with the release of the national physical activity guidelines) to December 2017.

Results

A total of 6651 peer-reviewed studies were identified, 205 full manuscripts were evaluated, and 7 articles met inclusion criteria and were analyzed. All studies reported the initial sample size of CHW trained; however, limited information on CHW personal characteristics was provided. The majority of studies reported that trainings were in-person with an average dose of 6 h. Four studies reported on training outcomes, with methods, measures, and outcomes varying widely.

Conclusions

There is inconsistent reporting on training across the literature, making comparisons between studies difficult and conclusions regarding training effectiveness difficult to discern. Further research is needed to understand for whom, under what conditions, and why physical activity trainings strategies are effective for CHW.
Biochemical and genetic evidence supports Fyv6 as a second-step splicing factor inSaccharomyces cerevisiae
Authors: Lipinski Karli A. , Senn Katherine A. , Zeps Natalie J. , Hoskins Aaron A.
Published: August 2023

Precursor mRNA (pre-mRNA) splicing is an essential process for gene expression in eukaryotes catalyzed by the spliceosome in two transesterification steps. The spliceosome is a large, highly dynamic complex composed of five small nuclear RNAs and dozens of proteins, some of which are needed throughout the splicing reaction while others only act during specific stages. The human protein FAM192A was recently proposed to be a splicing factor that functions during the second transesterification step, exon ligation, based on analysis of cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) density. It was also proposed that Fyv6 might be theSaccharomyces cerevisiaefunctional and structural homolog of FAM192A; however, no biochemical or genetic data has been reported to support this hypothesis. Herein, we show that Fyv6 is a splicing factor and acts during exon ligation. Deletion ofFYV6results in genetic interactions with the essential splicing factors Prp8, Prp16, and Prp22 and decreases splicing in vivo of reporter genes harboring intron substitutions that limit the rate of exon ligation. When splicing is assayed in vitro, whole-cell extracts lacking Fyv6 accumulate first-step products and exhibit a defect in exon ligation. Moreover, loss of Fyv6 causes a change in 3′ splice site (SS) selection in both a reporter gene and the endogenousSUS1transcript in vivo. Together, these data suggest that Fyv6 is a component of the yeast spliceosome that influences 3′ SS usage and the potential homolog of human FAM192A.

Case Report: Giant cell arteritis presenting as pyrexia of unknown origin
Authors: Mahajan Satish , Chandak Shailee , Giri Anamika , Khurana Kashish
Published: August 2023

Giant cell arteritis, also known as temporal arteritis or cranial arteritis, is a type of systemic vasculitis that mainly affects large and medium-sized arteries in the head, neck, and upper extremities. It is characterized by inflammation of the walls of arteries, which can lead to narrowing or blockage of the affected vessels, and can result in serious complications such as vision loss, stroke and aortic aneurysm.

The exact cause of giant cell arteritis is not fully understood, but it is believed to be an autoimmune disorder, where the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy cells and tissues in the body. Genetic, environmental and infectious factors may also play a role in its development. The disease is more common in people over 50 years of age and occurs more frequently in women than in men.

Diagnosing this disease is challenging and requires high degree of clinical suspicion and use of advanced modalities for confirming the diagnosis. Here we report a case of a 70-year-old female with pyrexia of unknown of origin who was ultimately diagnosed as a case of giant cell arteritis by PET-CT.

Background: There is an urgent need to develop more effective and safer antipsychotics beyond dopamine 2 receptor antagonists. An emerging and promising approach is TAAR1 agonism. Therefore, we will conduct a living systematic review and meta-analysis to synthesize and triangulate the evidence from preclinical animal experiments and clinical studies on the efficacy, safety, and underlying mechanism of action of TAAR1 agonism for psychosis.

Methods: Independent searches will be conducted in multiple electronic databases to identify clinical and animal experimental studies comparing TAAR1 agonists with licensed antipsychotics or other control conditions in individuals with psychosis or animal models for psychosis, respectively. The primary outcomes will be overall psychotic symptoms and their behavioural proxies in animals. Secondary outcomes will include side effects and neurobiological measures. Two independent reviewers will conduct study selection, data extraction using predefined forms, and risk of bias assessment using suitable tools based on the study design. Ontologies will be developed to facilitate study identification and data extraction. Data from clinical and animal studies will be synthesized separately using random-effects meta-analysis if appropriate, or synthesis without meta-analysis. Study characteristics will be investigated as potential sources of heterogeneity. Confidence in the evidence for each outcome and source of evidence will be evaluated, considering the summary of the association, potential concerns regarding internal and external validity, and reporting biases. When multiple sources of evidence are available for an outcome, an overall conclusion will be drawn in a triangulation meeting involving a multidisciplinary team of experts. We plan trimonthly updates of the review, and any modifications in the protocol will be documented. The review will be co-produced by multiple stakeholders aiming to produce impactful and relevant results and bridge the gap between preclinical and clinical research on psychosis.

Authors: Fadhil R. , Safrizal S. , Navisah P.
Published: August 2023

As other peaberrys, Gayo peaberry arabica coffee is very attractive because it has single larger and rounder seed. It is believed that the peaberry has superior flavor profile such as more fragrant aroma, stronger flavor, and denser than other arabica coffees. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the Gayo peaberry arabica coffee by using the analytical hierarchy process (AHP) method. Three varieties of Gayo peaberry arabica coffee were investigated i.e., Tim-tim, Bor-bor, and P88, while the processing method used were semi-wash and fully-wash methods. The sensory parameters observed included fragrance, flavor, acidity, body, and sweetness. The results showed that flavor (0.338) was the most important criterion than other taste criteria (fragrance 0.241; sweetness 0.196; acidity 0.115; and body 0.111). The variety that had the highest product acceptance rate was the Tim-tim variety processed by a full-wash method with a value of 0.203. The overall result of data analysis was acceptable because it had a consistency ratio below 0.1 (10%).

Science in a Political Society: the adventures and Fates of Scientists in the Civilizations of the ancient and medieval East.
Authors: Vasechko Vyacheslav
Published: August 2023

The monograph is devoted to elucidating the specifics of those socio-historical and cultural factors that determine the format of the study of the material world (Nature, Cosmos, Universe) in societies of the politic type, which are primarily understood as civilizations of the ancient and medieval East. A person who has chosen natural sciences as a life priority for himself is in a political society under quite severe social pressure both from social institutions (mainly the state and the clergy) and from the overwhelming majority of the population alien to scientific interests. However, in certain periods and under favorable circumstances, the academic community here turns out to be quite capable of self-organization and self-activity, capable of giving a successful response to external social challenges. The evidence of this success is numerous epistemological innovations and discoveries, which abound in the history of politarism, but which, as a rule, do not receive further development and are unclaimed due to unfavorable changes in the socio-political conjuncture. The socio-historical and cultural analysis of the science of political societies helps to more accurately outline the universal trajectory of mankind's cognition of the surrounding world, as well as to look in a new light at the social and moral problems faced by scientists in subsequent epochs, up to the present day.
It is addressed to scientists, philosophers, historians and anyone who is interested in the history of science, its place and role in society, as well as moral conflicts, which are so often associated with the activities of a professional scientist.

«wORKPLACE wELL-BEING» CONCEPT AS A PART OF MODERN CORPORATE HR MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS
Authors: Zaharov D. , Kashtanova YEkatyerina
Published: August 2023

This article discusses the essence and features of the formation of one of the modern corporate programs for personnel management — workplace well-being concept (WPWBC). It is noted that the main goal of this concept is to increase the level of well-being of personnel, their deep and productive involvement in the company’s activities. The main components that affect the productivity of workers from the position of the WPWBC are considered. These are programs that affect: physical and psychological health , a comfortable working environment, financial well-being and professional growth. The essence of these components and the advanced directions of their development are analyzed. The relationship between the theory of justice and WPWBC is shown. The theory of distributive justice is based on the belief that employees become demotivated towards their job and their employer if they believe that their contribution is greater than what they receive as a result of their work in the organization. According to this theory, finding a fair balance between what employees contribute and what they receive in the organization serves the purpose of ensuring a strong and productive relationship between the organization and the employee.

Published: August 2023

The labor potential of employees is an important component of the development of any enterprise. Evaluation of the effectiveness of employees is necessary to be able to withstand crisis situations and requires the adoption of appropriate strategic decisions to increase the labor potential of employees of the organization. Labor potential is a combination of organizational, personnel, professional and qualification labor potential, which, if developed, have a noticeable impact on production efficiency indicators. That is, we can say that the labor potential can be measured by the number of products that can be produced with the most effective combination of workers’ labor with the material resources at the disposal of the organization. There is a problem of evaluating the effectiveness of the company’s employees. It should involve determining the current state of the personnel status, comparing the assessment of the level of personal capabilities, including its intellectual and physical properties and opportunities for self-improvement in the course of work, as well as analyzing the labor potential of employees of an enterprise or organization.

Published: August 2023

Active economic transformations based on the dynamic change of the economic structure of the last decades of society’s development inevitably lead to the emergence of new professions that require the design and development of new competencies. Professionals combining hard and soft skills are scarce, and the need for them will only increase. The article considers the essence of the concept of soft skills, analyzes their typologies. The study, the purpose of which was to analyze the demand for soft skills in the labor market in the area of human resource management and the correspondence of higher school students’ ideas about soft skills in the field of HR management to the employer’s vision, revealed the need for constant monitoring of changes in the dynamics of soft skills and taking these changes into account when designing educational programs that will most contribute to their formation along with professional hard skills.

Authors: Grużewska-Piotrowska Kinga , Pająk Monika , Hubka Joanna , Grużewska Agnieszka , Wcisło Wojciech
Published: August 2023

Introduction: Tea comes from ancient China and it is obtained from the leaves of the plant known as Camellia sinensis. It can be distinguished six categories of the tea: white, green, yellow, black, oolong, pu-erh (dark, fermented) depending on the complex production processes. Tea contains various bioactive ingredients that have beneficial effects on health. In addition, tea drinking is considered safe for humans as severe side effects from ingestion of tea infusion or extract are rarely observed.

The aim of the study: The aim of the study was to assess the level of knowledge among people about bioactive ingredients, different types of tea, health benefits, safety issues and disadvantages of drinking tea based on anonymous surveys.

Materials and methods: The research material was collected using an anonymous survey in June 2023. The obtained results were analyzed and verified on the basis of scientific literature and statistically processed using Microsoft Office Excel.

Discussion and conclusions: 97% of respondents drink tea, and 59.3% of people reach for it every day. The most commonly consumed type is green tea. 58.6% of respondents believe that tea may have health properties, and 80.9% believe that tea is not harmful to health. Tea contains numerous bioactive ingredients, including: polyphenols, polysaccharides, aminoacids, alkaloids, saponins, enzymes, minerals. They are responsible for a number of functions affecting human health, including: antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, immunoregulatory, anti-cancer, cardiovascular, anti-diabetic, anti-obesity and liver-protective properties. In tea, the bioavailability of active ingredients depends on the method of brewing, but also on the type of tea. Despite the many benefits, attention should be paid to the contamination of tea with heavy metals, pesticides and mycotoxins, and to excessive consumption of substances such as caffeine, as they can cause side effects observed in studies.
Healthcare Across Boundaries: Urban-Rural Differences in the Consequences of Telehealth Adoption
Authors: Zhou Meizi , Li Xuelin , Burtch Gordon
Published: August 2023

We study the impacts of telehealth adoption on geographic competition among urban and rural healthcare providers. We consider a quasinatural experiment: states’ entry into the Interstate Medical Licensure Compact, wherein the entry events facilitate healthcare providers to adopt telehealth technology. By analyzing a representative sample of providers, we first establish the Compact entry shock’s validity and its positive effect on the supply of medical services. We then report evidence that there are service and payment shifts from rural providers to urban providers (i.e., urban providers are more likely to benefit from the Compact entry financially). Relying on patients’ telehealth reimbursement claim data, we observe two mechanisms contributing to the revenue redistribution: the substitution and gateway effects of telehealth. Finally, we show that telehealth readiness and service quality moderate the impact of telehealth adoption. These findings speak to both potentially positive and negative consequences for welfare.
