Objectives. To examine the effect of Florida’s adoption of Statute 335.065—a law requiring the routine accommodation of nonmotorized road users (i.e., a “Complete Streets” policy)—on pedestrian fatalities and to identify factors influencing its implementation. Methods. We used a multimethod design (interrupted time-series quasi-experiment and interviews) to calculate Florida’s pedestrian fatality rates from 1975 to 2013—39 quarters before and 117 quarters after adoption of the law. Using statistical models, we compared Florida with regional and national comparison groups. Semistructured interviews were conducted with 10 current and former Florida transportation professionals in 2015. Results. Florida’s pedestrian fatality rates decreased significantly—by at least 0.500% more each quarter—after Statute 335.065 was adopted, resulting in more than 3500 lives saved across 29 years. Interviewees described supports and challenges associated with implementing the law. Conclusions. Florida Statute 335.065 is associated with a 3-decade decrease in pedestrian fatalities. The study also reveals factors that influenced the implementation and effectiveness of the law. Public Health Implications. Transportation policies—particularly Complete Streets policies—can have significant, quantifiable impacts on population health. Multimethod designs are valuable approaches to policy evaluations.

Objectives. To examine trends in the percentage of US secondary schools that implemented practices related to the support of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning (LGBTQ) students. Methods. This analysis used data from 4 cycles (2008–2014) of School Health Profiles, a surveillance system that provides results representative of secondary schools in each state. Each school completed 2 self-administered questionnaires (principal and teacher) per cycle. We used logistic regression models to examine linear trends. Results. Of 8 examined practices to support LGBTQ youths, only 1—identifying safe spaces for LGBTQ youths—increased in most states (72%) from 2010 to 2014. Among the remaining 7, only 1—prohibiting harassment based on a student’s perceived or actual sexual orientation or gender identity—had relatively high rates of adoption (a median of 90.3% of schools in 2014) across states. Conclusions. Many states have seen no change in the implementation of school practices associated with LGBTQ students’ health and well-being.
Drought Genetics Have Varying Influence on Corn Water Stress under Differing Water Availability
Authors: Nielsen David C. , Schneekloth Joel P. 
Published: February 2018

Core Ideas
Limited irrigation of corn is likely to become more prevalent in the future.Drought genetics may make corn yield less subject to detrimental water stress under limited irrigation.Drought genetics had little effect on mitigating water stress in corn.Drought genetics did not consistently improve corn yield under water stress.
Irrigated corn (Zea mays L.) in the Great Plains will be increasingly grown under limited irrigation management and greater water stress. Hybrids with drought genetics may decrease the impacts of water stress on yield. The objective of this experiment was to evaluate the effect of drought genetics on corn water stress, water use, grain yield, yield components, and water use efficiency under varying water availability. A 3‐yr (2009–2011) study was conducted at Akron, CO in which corn water use, yield, and yield components were measured for isolines of three corn hybrids with and without drought genetics grown under three water treatments (fully irrigated, no irrigation until just prior to tasseling followed by full irrigation, and limited irrigation throughout the growing season). There was no yield loss from the drought genetics under non‐water‐stressed conditions. There was no effect of drought genetics on water use, yield, or water use efficiency. However, there was a 7% increase in kernels per plant in 2011 and a 5% increase in 1000‐kernel weight in 2010 due to the presence of the drought gene. It does not appear that the non‐commercial, experimental drought genetics tested in this experiment produced any consistent effect on mitigating water stress in corn or on corn water use and yield under varying levels and timings of water stress. Further research is needed in which consistent levels of water stress are imposed during reproductive and grain‐filling growth stages to verify the effects of drought genetics on corn yield.
Selected model fusion: an approach for improving the accuracy of monthly streamflow forecasting

Published: February 2018

Abstract
Monthly streamflow forecasting plays an important role in water resources management, especially for dam operation. In this paper, an approach of model fusion technique named selected model fusion (SMF) is applied and assessed under two strategies of model selection in order to improve the accuracy of streamflow forecasting. The two strategies of SMF are: fusion of the outputs of best individual forecasting models (IFMs) selected by dendrogram analysis (S1), and fusion of the best outputs of all IFMs resulting from an ordered selection algorithm (S2). In both strategies, five data-driven models including: artificial neural network, generalized regression neural network, least square-support vector regression, K-nearest neighbor regression, and multiple linear regression with optimized structure are performed as IFMs. The SMF strategies are applied for forecasting the monthly inflow to Karkheh reservoir, Iran, owning various patterns between predictor and predicted variables in different months. Results show that applying SMF approach based on both strategies results in more accurate forecasts in comparison with fusion of all IFMs outputs (S3), as the benchmark. However, comparison of the two SMF strategies reveals that the implementation of strategy (S2) considerably improves the accuracy of forecasts than strategy (S1) as well as the best IFM results (S4) in all months.
Enhanced biogas production potential of microalgae and swine wastewater using co-digestion and alkaline pretreatment
Authors: Panyaping K. , Khiewwijit R. , Wongpankamol P. 
Published: February 2018

Abstract
Biogas yield obtained from anaerobic digestion of swine wastewater (SWW) needs to be increased to produce electrical energy. To enhance biogas and prevent pollution, use of mixed culture microalgae grown in wastewater (MWW) with SWW has attracted a lot of interest. This research was focused on the possibility of utilizing MWW. Six experiments using raw SWW and MWW, and their co-digestion were conducted on a laboratory scale in one-litre reactors with the ratio of inoculum and substrate of 70:30 under without and with alkaline pretreatment (using 3% NaOH for pH adjustment every 15 min at pH 11 for 3 h). The results showed that co-digestion had the major effect on increasing biogas and methane yields (0.735 and 0.326 m3/kg of volatile solids (VS) removed), and the highest chemical oxygen demand and VS removal (60.29% and 63.17%). For pretreatment, the effect of ammonia inhibition at a high pH of 11 had more influence on biodegradation than the effect of destruction of MWW's cell walls, resulting in a low biogas production of pretreated MWW and pretreated co-digestion. These findings affirm the potential of co-digestion, and the possibility of using both single and co-substrate MWW. Pretreatment could be improved at a lower alkaline pH condition. A pilot scale of co-digestion should be performed.

People with severe psychosocial disabilities have a 20-years shorter lifespan due to chronic somatic comorbidities and the long-term consequences of the side-effects of antipsychotic drugs.They often are sedentary and show lower levels of physical activity, factors which can contribute to their shorter lifespan, because of the greater cardiovascular risk.An increasing amount of evidence, including clinical trials, pointed out that sport, physical activity and structured exercise programs improve physical and psychological wellbeing of people with psychosocial disabilities, playing also an important role against their social isolation and self-stigma.The NICE and APA guidelines include exercise and physical activity for the management of depressive symptoms.Safe and effective programs require multidisciplinary teams that should always include mental health professionals, able to recognize the psychosocial needs, the impact of symptomatology, the role of secondary effects of psychotropic medication, the effect of previous exercise history, the lack of motivation, the inexperience with effort intensity and the frustration of people with psychosocial disabilities.

Information is increasingly digital, creating opportunities to respond to pressing issues about human populations in near real time using linked datasets that are large, complex, and diverse. The potential social and individual benefits that can come from data-intensive science are large, but raise challenges of balancing individual privacy and the public good, building appropriate socio-technical systems to support data-intensive science, and determining whether defining a new field of inquiry might help move those collective interests and activities forward. A combination of expert engagement, literature review, and iterative conversations led to our conclusion that defining the field of Population Data Science (challenge 3) will help address the other two challenges as well. We define Population Data Science succinctly as the science of data about people and note that it is related to but distinct from the fields of data science and informatics. A broader definition names four characteristics of: data use for positive impact on citizens and society; bringing together and analyzing data from multiple sources; finding population-level insights; and developing safe, privacy-sensitive and ethical infrastructure to support research. One implication of these characteristics is that few people possess all of the requisite knowledge and skills of Population Data Science, so this is by nature a multi-disciplinary field. Other implications include the need to advance various aspects of science, such as data linkage technology, various forms of analytics, and methods of public engagement. These implications are the beginnings of a research agenda for Population Data Science, which if approached as a collective field, can catalyze significant advances in our understanding of trends in society, health, and human behavior.
The Experienced Self and Other Scale: A technique for assaying the experience of one’s self in relation to the other
Authors: Shvil Erel , Krauss Herbert , Midlarsky Elizabeth 
Published: February 2018

The construct “self” appears in diverse forms in theories about what it is to be a person. As the sense of “self” is typically assessed through personal reports, differences in its description undoubtedly reflect significant differences in peoples’ apperception of self. This report describes the development, reliability, and factorial structure of the Experience of Sense of Self (E-SOS), an inventory designed to assess one’s perception of self in relation to the person’s perception of various potential “others.” It does so using Venn diagrams to depict and quantify the experienced overlap between the self and “others.” Participant responses to the instrument were studied through Exploratory Factor Analysis. This yielded a five-factor solution: 1) Experience of Positive Sensation; 2) Experience of Challenges; 3) Experience of Temptations; 4) Experience of Higher Power; and 5) Experience of Family. The items comprising each of these were found to produce reliable subscales. Further research with the E-SOS and suggestions for its use are offered. DOI:10.2458/azu_jmmss_v4i2_shvil

Here, we provide an example using Contents Meta-Analysis so that readers can become familiar with the application of the method and the implications of its use. This illustration will be presented in two major sections. First, we will describe an empirical example of a meta-analysis on retention in higher education where a Contents Meta-Analysis was conducted. Then we will show how the information gained in the Contents Meta-Analysis may be applied to address issues of generalizability. DOI:10.2458/azu_jmmss_v4i2_figueredo
Do Slower Life History Strategies Reduce Sociodemographic Sex Differences?
Authors: Chavarria Minera Cindy Elizabeth , Figueredo Aurelio José , Lunsford Laura Gail 
Published: February 2018

This study examines the relations between sociodemographic sex differences and life history strategies in the populations of Mexican States. Sex differences in anatomy and behavior was measured with traits such as educational achievement, mortality, and morbidity. The data were obtained from the Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Geografía (INEGI) and sampled from thirty-one Mexican states and the Federal District (N = 32). An extension analysis was performed selecting only the sex ratio variables that had a correlation with the slow Life History factor greater than or equal to an absolute value of .25. A unit-weighted sex ratio factor was created using these variables. Across 32 Mexican states, the correlation between latent slow life history and sex ratio was .57 (p < .05). These results are consistent with our hypothesis that slower life histories favor reduced sexual dimorphism in physiology and behavior among human subnational populations. The results of the study further understanding of variations in population sex differences, male-biased behaviors toward sexual equality, and the differences among subnational (regional) populations within the United States of Mexico.

Classic stories about human’s dreams to conquer space and time have been existing since long time ago. One of the most known science fiction novel about space and time wanderers is The Time Machine (1895) by H.G. Wells. This novel was than adapted in the movie with the same title (2002) by movie industry in Hollywood. This movie is both a form of a creative work and on the other hand is entertaining. This movie was very popular at the time because it could express the human imagination of time wanderers and the technology used and at the same time could realize it although only in a movie form. The technology of the time wandering itself is impossible at the time, even nowaday. Science fiction is then known as a genre of movie which could realize human imaginations. Using semiotic analysis, this study is trying to review this movie to show the fake thruths that Hollywood is than just a part of super power state (US) statements. The result of the study is trying to give references to audience that the movie they might watch might be just a fake imagination.

Mengukuhkan Otensitas Tradisi Hukum Campursari dalam Sistem Hukum Nasional
Authors: Rismawati, SH., MH. Dr. Shinta Dewi 
Published: February 2018

Tradisi sistem hukum sesungguhnya produk manusia yang berpijak pada tiga ordinat yakni manusia, lingkungan dan hukum, sehingga tradisi hukum yang adadi dunia menjadi beragam. Pembangunan tradisi hukum bercorak Indonesia adalah proyek abadi dan dinamis. Oleh karena itu meskipun dominasi civil law kental dalam tradisi berhukum Indonesia, akan tetapi kreatifitas, inovasi serta metode sintesis mampu menjadikan tradisi sistem hukum Indonesia bernuansa campursari. Karekateristrik campursari (mixed) ini sesungguhnya bermuara dari kreatifitas dan inovasi yang diwariskan oleh the founding father termasuk dalam cara berhukumnya, oleh karenanya tradisi Civil law dan tradisi Common lawmenjadi bagian yang mudah ditemukan dalam praktek berhukum di Indonesia. Tradisi pembangunan sistem hukum yang bercorak campursari perlu dikukuhkan dan dikembangkan untuk mewujudkan sistem hukum yang bercitarasa Indonesia, tetapi juga tidak mengabaikan aspek kekinian. Untuk itu perlu paradigma alternative untuk pengembangan dan pembangunan tradisi hukum campursari yakni dengan metode otak-atik gatuk (adopsi, inovasi dan sesuai dengan kebutuhan) dengan pondasi utama yakni Pancasila.
