"To those who startle at innovation..."
Authors: Randall Laura 
Published: August 2015

In these times of electronic journal publishing, adopting a continuous publication model is easy: Open an issue, publish articles electronically as they flow through the pipeline, close an issue. Even print journals offer this quick access to the content, publishing online before issuing the printed publication. The goal is clear: Provide access to the information as soon as possible. These models incorporating quick electronic access offer clear benefits to the community, so it's no wonder the model is so widely adopted.
But these models aren't new to the digital age. They're not exclusive to electronic publishing. Almost 200 years ago, at least one journal publisher was facing the same struggle of how to get information to their readers quickly. In the editor's words, from January 1828, "We only ask that those printed sheets which lie from one to thirteen weeks in the printing-office...may appear...half-monthly.... To those wo startle at innovation, we put forth this plain question:—Can there be any objection, that each packet...of this Journal should go forth to those who wish to have it every fifteen days...?"
This publication model, familiar as it is, presents its own set of challenges to our modern system. The journal is being digitized as part of a National Library of Medicine (NLM) and Wellcome Library project to digitize NLM's collection and be made available to the public through PubMed Central (https://www.nlm.nih.gov/news/welcome_library_agreement.html). So our challenge now is this: How do we integrate a 200-year-old publication model in current vocabularies when we've re-invented the same model in a different medium?

Purpose. To evaluate an evidence-based workplace approach to increasing adult influenza vaccination levels applied in the restaurant setting Design. We implemented an intervention and conducted a pre/post analysis to determine effect on vaccination. Setting. Eleven Seattle-area restaurants. Subjects. Restaurants with 25+ employees speaking English or Spanish and over 18 years. Intervention. Restaurants received influenza vaccination promotion materials, assistance arranging on-site vaccination events, and free influenza vaccinations for employees. Measures. Pre/post employee surveys of vaccination status with direct observation and employer interviews to evaluate implementation. Analysis. We conducted descriptive analysis of employee survey data and performed qualitative analysis of implementation data. To assess intervention effect, we used a mixed-effects logistic regression model with a restaurant-specific random effect. Results. Vaccination levels increased from 26% to 46% (adjusted odds ratio 2.33, 95% confidence interval 1.69, 3.22), with 428 employees surveyed preintervention, 305 surveyed postintervention, and response rates of 73% and 55%, respectively. The intervention was effective across subgroups, but there were restaurant-level differences. Conclusion. An access-based workplace intervention can increase influenza vaccination levels in restaurant employees, but restaurant-level factors may influence success.
A Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, Maintenance Evaluation of Weekend Backpack Food Assistance Programs
Authors: Shanks Carmen Byker , Harden Samantha 
Published: August 2015

Purpose. The purpose of this study was to evaluate an ongoing statewide weekend backpack program through the Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance (RE-AIM) framework. Design. Mixed-methods inquiry was used to explore the reach, effectiveness, adoption, implementation, and maintenance of backpack programs within Montana. Setting. Study participants completed audio-recorded one-on-one phone interviews. Participants. Key informants (e.g., managers at food banks, staff at participating schools, policy makers) were purposively sampled (N = 20). Method. Semistructured interviews were conducted to gather data to describe each RE-AIM dimension. Interviews were transcribed verbatim and deductively (i.e., using RE-AIM as themes) coded for meaning units, placed into higher-order categories, and summarized in narrative. Supporting quantitative data (e.g., the proportion of eligible students that joined the program, rate of school-level adoption) were calculated using descriptive statistics. Results. Backpack programs with a broad reach and evidenced effect may be appealing to adopt. Weekend food bags cost an average $3.87 (SD ± .94) and there were some positive (i.e., ease, protecting participants' privacy) and very few negative (logistical) components of implementation. Collaborators and community partners are necessary for long-term sustainability. Conclusion. Backpack programs are widespread and have potential to relieve weekend hunger; however, more efforts need to be made to end childhood hunger.

Published: August 2015

Purpose. To test an iPad-delivered multiple behavior tailored intervention (Healthy Pregnancy: Step by Step) for pregnant women that addresses smoking cessation, stress management, and fruit and vegetable consumption. Design. A randomized 2 × 5 factorial repeated measures design was employed with randomization on the individual level stratified on behavior risk. Women completed three sessions during pregnancy and two postpartum at postdelivery months 1 and 4. Setting. Women were recruited from six locations of federally funded health centers across three states. Subjects. Participants (N = 335) were English- and Spanish-speaking women at up to 18 weeks gestation. Intervention. The treatment group received three interactive sessions focused on two priority health behavior risks. The sessions offered individually tailored and stage-matched change strategies based on the transtheoretical model of behavior change. The usual care group received March of Dimes brochures. Measures. The primary outcome was the number of behavior risks. Stage of change and continuous measures for all behaviors also were assessed. Analysis. Data were analyzed across all time points using generalized estimating equations examining repeated measures effects. Results. Women in the treatment group reported significantly fewer risks than those in usual care at 1 month (.85 vs. 1.20, odds ratio [OR] = .70) and 4 months postpartum (.72 vs. .91, OR = .81). Conclusion. Healthy Pregnancy is an evidence-based and personalized program that assists pregnant women with reducing behavior risks and sustaining healthy lifestyle behaviors.

Purpose: This project examined potential changes in health behaviors following wellness coaching. Design: In a single cohort study design, wellness coaching participants were recruited in 2011, data were collected through July 2012, and were analyzed through December 2013. Items in the study questionnaire used requested information about 11 health behaviors, self-efficacy for eating, and goalsetting skills. Setting: Worksite wellness center. Participants: One-hundred employee wellness center members with an average age of 42 years; 90% were female and most were overweight or obese. Intervention: Twelve weeks of in-person, one-on-one wellness coaching. Method: Participants completed study questionnaires when they started wellness coaching (baseline), after 12 weeks of wellness coaching, and at a 3-month follow-up. Results: From baseline to week 12, these 100 wellness coaching participants improved their self-reported health behaviors (11 domains, 0- to 10-point scale) from an average of 6.4 to 7.7 ( p < .001), eating selfefficacy from an average of 112 to 142 (on a 0- to 180-point scale; p < .001), and goal-setting skills from an average of 49 to 55 (on a 16- to 80-point scale; p < .001). Conclusion: These results suggest that participants improved their current health behaviors and learned skills for continued healthy living. Future studies that use randomized controlled trials are needed to establish causality for wellness coaching.
Adolescent and Young Adult Smokers Who Self-Identify as Nonsmokers
Authors: Walker Jerome F. , Loprinzi Paul D. 
Published: August 2015

Purpose. Examine the extent to which low-nicotine dependent daily smokers identify themselves as nonsmokers (smoking nonsmokers) over time, and examine the effect of nicotine-related withdrawal symptoms and cravings in predicting self-identified smoking status. Design. Longitudinal. Setting. National Youth Smoking Cessation Survey 2003–2005. Subjects. One hundred thirty-two adolescents and young adults (16–24 years). Measures. A questionnaire was used to assess smoking identity, withdrawal, cravings, and smoking intensity parameters. Analysis. Multivariable logistic regression analysis. Results. Among the 132 smoking nonsmokers at baseline, 45% remained smoking nonsmokers at the 2-year follow-up, with 55% transitioning to smoking (i.e., self-identified as smoking smokers in the interim). After adjustments, participants exhibiting greater restlessness and cravings over time, respectively, had 3.59 (p = .01) and 4.31 (p = .008) greater odds of being a smoking nonsmoker at baseline but then transitioning into a smoking smoker at 2-year follow-up. Conclusion. These findings may have implications with respect to interventions emphasizing withdrawal and craving symptoms. Further, given that some youth smokers self-identify as nonsmokers, and do so over time, potential intervention efforts may be pointed toward cognitive-related strategies at improving self-perceptions.

Sanitation is essential for people to have a healthy life. People should monitor their practices in managing wastes. The clean surrounding ensures that people are safe and free from diseases. They study investigated the sanitation practices of the residents and verified their household waste, its effect to their lives and the usual garbage that exists in the area. This descriptive study utilized the researcher-made-questionnaire during the data gathering. Results showed that out of 43 household respondents, 51.1% finished their education in high school level. Majority of them are housekeepers. The truck collected most of their garbage. They practiced recycling process such as reusing of plastic, torn papers and collecting bottles. The residents have poor attitudes and perceptions towards waste handling, but they practiced recycling and segregation of waste. Sanitation practice affects one’s health and community. Disease and pollution can be avoided. The local community should take some livelihood activities to the community related to the recycling process for the housewives to supplement income. The women should establish appropriate attitudes and perceptions towards waste disposal through formal and informal learning. The people should strictly enforce policies like “TAPAT, MO LINIS MO” (Clean the surroundings in front of yours) for their own benefit.Keywords: Environmental Science, environment sanitation practices, descriptive survey design, Palawan, Philippines

Published: August 2015

Changing societies and economies pose novel challenges to the lives and work of secondary school teachers. These challenges affect them in various levels which include their personal, professional and aspirations in life. In the literature, this is understood as the condition of their Quality of Work-Life (QWL). The objectiveof this study is to examine the essential relationship of QWL and aspirations of secondary school teachers through a descriptive-correlation research design. The study conducted a survey which involved 118 respondents which represent 92 percent response rate. As regards aspirations, the results show that although respondents oftentimes experienced from moderate to high level of aspirations, the overall rating was high. The highest is in self-acceptance, which indicates that the most important aspirations for the respondents are to accept one’s self, having a meaningful life and effectively handle one’s self amidst problems. As for QWL, the respondents oftentimes perceived and experienced a high level of QWL. The highest is in social relevance of work, which indicates that respondents find their job to be challenging, rewarding and meaningful. In conclusion, the correlation analysis shows that there exist a significant relationship between QWL and Aspirations,which results to the rejection of the null hypothesis of this study.Keywords: Human resources management, quality of work-life, level of aspiration, secondary school teachers, Davao del Sur, Philippines
The Application of Internal Control for the Women Cooperative Performance in East Java
Authors: WURYANI ENI 
Published: August 2015

Internal control for the women cooperative performance is considered important. Internal control in such an organization should be done for increasing the performance. This study aimed to analyze the implementation of internal control in the cooperative. It utilized census data with the population consisting of 103 women cooperatives in Madiun Regency East Java, in 2012. The performance of the women cooperative was assessed, and the internal control variables were measured through their regulatory activities, including the organization field, business, capital, and financial supervisions. For the cooperative performance, it was measured based on the results of the 2012 performance appraisal concerning the financial and non-financial aspects. The performance appraisal includes aspects of organization, management, governance, management, productivity, and the benefits and their impacts. Using linear regression analysis, it was found that the internal control has a positive and significant effect on the performance. This indicates that the more the internal control is implemented, the better the cooperative performance. It is recommended that integrity and ethics should be emphasized. Internal control is supported by good control environment, competency in cooperatives, assignment, and responsibility. Besides, good communication and information system, as well as control activities and monitoring, are implemented by all members.Keywords: Management, internal control, cooperative supervision, integrity, ethics, financial and non-financial measurement, descriptive-correlational design, Indonesia

Published: August 2015

AbstractFires have consumed a large amount of terrestrial organic carbon and significantly influenced terrestrial ecosystems and the physical climate system over the past century. Although biomass burning has been widely investigated at a global level in recent decades via satellite observations, less work has been conducted to examine the century‐scale changes in global fire regimes and fire influences on the terrestrial carbon balance. In this study, we investigated global pyrogenic carbon emissions and fire influences on the terrestrial carbon fluxes from 1901 to 2010 by using a process‐based land ecosystem model. Our results show a significant declining trend in global pyrogenic carbon emissions between the early 20th century and the mid‐1980s but a significant upward trend between the mid‐1980s and the 2000s as a result of more frequent fires in ecosystems with high carbon storage, such as peatlands and tropical forests. Over the past 110 years, average pyrogenic carbon emissions were estimated to be 2.43 Pg C yr−1 (1 Pg = 1015 g), and global average combustion rate (defined as carbon emissions per unit area burned) was 537.85 g C m−2 burned area. Due to the impacts of fires, the net primary productivity and carbon sink of global terrestrial ecosystems were reduced by 4.14 Pg C yr−1 and 0.57 Pg C yr−1, respectively. Our study suggests that special attention should be paid to fire activities in the peatlands and tropical forests in the future. Practical management strategies, such as minimizing forest logging and reducing the rate of cropland expansion in the humid regions, are in need to reduce fire risk and mitigate fire‐induced greenhouse gases emissions.

AbstractEnabled by the comprehensive measurements from the Magnetic Electron Ion Spectrometer (MagEIS), Helium Oxygen Proton Electron mass spectrometer (HOPE), and Radiation Belt Storm Probes Ion Composition Experiment (RBSPICE) instruments onboard Van Allen Probes in the heart of the radiation belt, the relative contributions of ions with different energies and species to the ring current energy density and their dependence on the phases of geomagnetic storms are quantified. The results show that lower energy (<50 keV) protons enhance much more often and also decay much faster than higher‐energy protons. During the storm main phase, ions with energies <50 keV contribute more significantly to the ring current than those with higher energies; while the higher‐energy protons dominate during the recovery phase and quiet times. The enhancements of higher‐energy proton fluxes as well as energy content generally occur later than those of lower energy protons, which could be due to the inward radial diffusion. For the 29 March 2013 storm we investigated in detail that the contribution from O+ is ~25% of the ring current energy content during the main phase and the majority of that comes from <50 keV O+. This indicates that even during moderate geomagnetic storms the ionosphere is still an important contributor to the ring current ions. Using the Dessler‐Parker‐Sckopke relation, the contributions of ring current particles to the magnetic field depression during this geomagnetic storm are also calculated. The results show that the measured ring current ions contribute about half of the Dst depression.
Time‐dependent model of aseismic slip on the central San Andreas Fault from InSAR time series and repeating earthquakes
Authors: Khoshmanesh M. , Shirzaei M. , Nadeau R. M. 
Published: August 2015

AbstractThe Central segment of San Andreas Fault (CSAF) is characterized by a nearly continuous right‐lateral aseismic slip. However, observations of the creep rate obtained using small characteristically repeating earthquakes (CREs) show pulses of creep along the CSAF, which may indicate spatially and temporally variable seismic hazard along the CSAF. Therefore, the goal of this study is to obtain a high‐resolution time‐dependent model of creep along the CSAF to examine this hypothesis. To this end, we apply a time‐dependent creep modeling approach, which combines interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) surface deformation time series and observations of fault creep obtained from CREs. The SAR data set includes C band scenes acquired by the ERS‐2 and Envisat satellites between 2003 and 2011. The resulting creep rate distribution implies a peak rate up to 32 mm/yr along the central part of the CSAF. Afterslip due to the 2004 Parkfield earthquake on the southeastern segment of the CSAF is also manifest in the model, and there is clear evidence of creep pulsing along strike and depth of the CSAF. Estimated annual rate of slip deficit accumulation is equivalent to a magnitude 5.6–5.7 earthquake. Taking advantage of the time‐dependence of our model, we also refine the scaling relationship, which associates the released seismic moment due to a CRE event with the amount of creep on the fault, surrounding the CRE patches. This study provides the first kinematic model of creep pulsing, constrained using geodetic and seismic data, which can enhance time‐dependent seismic hazard maps and improve earthquake operational forecast models.
