Can distribution grid infrastructure accommodate residential electrification and electric vehicle adoption in Northern California?
Authors: Elmallah Salma , Brockway Anna M , Callaway Duncan 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
In this paper we ask: in what ways will utilities need to upgrade the electric distribution grid to accommodate electrified loads, and what will those upgrades cost? Our study focuses on the PG&E service area in Northern California, which serves 4.8 million electricity customers and is subject to aggressive targets for both EV adoption and electrification of residential space and water heating. We create spatio-temporally detailed electricity demand forecasts, and compare that demand to distribution infrastructure limits across a range of technology adoption scenarios. We find that electrification of residential space and water heating will lead to fewer impacts on distribution feeder capacity than EV charging, but that both transitions will require an acceleration of the current pace of upgrades. We also find that timing and location have a strong influence on total capacity additions in important ways: for example, scenarios that favor daytime EV charging have similar impacts to those with managed nighttime residential charging, but uncontrolled nighttime residential charging could have significantly larger impacts. We project that these upgrades will add at least $1 billion and potentially over $10 billion to PG&E’s rate base. We conclude that measures that enable the completion of a high number of upcoming upgrade projects—including addressing workforce and supply chain constraints, and pursuing non-wires alternatives like energy storage and demand response—are critical to successful electrification.
Utility of an integrated health system specialty pharmacy in provision of extended-release buprenorphine for patients with opioid use disorder
Authors: Shah Rushabh , Hendrickson Sarah , Fanucchi Laura , Lofwall Michelle , Platt Thom , Rhudy Christian 
Published: September 2022

Abstract

Purpose
Extended-release (ER) monthly injectable buprenorphine offers an alternative to daily sublingual (SL) dosing for treatment of opioid use disorder (OUD) that may be attractive to several patient populations, including those with barriers to adherence and the frequent follow-up that are necessary for traditional SL buprenorphine. Despite the potential benefits of ER-buprenorphine, there are significant barriers to healthcare provider adoption that may prevent utilization in the populations that would benefit.

Summary
Our health system began providing clinic-administered ER-buprenorphine as treatment for OUD in May 2018 at a single clinic. Expansion was limited due to difficulties with delayed and inaccurate medication delivery and heavy administrative burden. To facilitate uptake of ER-buprenorphine for patients who could benefit, our integrated health-system specialty pharmacy (HSSP) assumed responsibility for medication distribution and administrative management beginning in October 2019. The HSSP provided accurate medication delivery, alleviated administrative burdens of benefits investigation and Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy compliance, and decreased medication wastage by implementing a medication return process. Subsequently, ER-buprenorphine services were expanded to 4 additional sites, allowing 244 more patients to receive treatment.

Conclusion
HSSP support can provide significant benefit to patients and the health system through coordinating ER-buprenorphine dispensing and delivery.
Social work practice with self-neglect and homelessness: Findings from vignette-based interviews
Authors: Harris Jess , Martineau Stephen , Manthorpe Jill , Burridge Stan , Ornelas Bruno , Tinelli Michela , Cornes Michelle 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
This article reports social workers’ attitudes and approaches to working with people experiencing multiple exclusion homelessness (MEH) who self-neglect, and whether these people receive services, including safeguarding, differently from other populations. It draws on telephone interviews in 2020 with twenty-two social workers working with adults in a range of statutory local authority and National Health Service hospital roles in England. Interviews used two almost identical vignettes featuring self-neglect to prompt discussion and solicit experiences; one included homelessness and drug use to draw out any differences. Following transcription, interview data were analysed thematically. What emerged is a rich understanding of practice responses to self-neglect, but also uncertainties within contemporary social work: whether people who are homeless fall under the ‘umbrella’ of Adult Social Care and safeguarding; and whether self-neglect ‘fits’ under safeguarding. Additionally, participants described barriers to successful multi-agency support for people experiencing MEH, including stigma and exclusion from some statutory services. There was evidence that recent learning from Safeguarding Adults Reviews and local deaths has led to some examples of stronger multi-agency working in this context. The findings suggest more clarity is needed within the profession to ensure that people experiencing MEH benefit from strengthened social work input and safeguarding expertise.
Policy Uncertainty and Information Flows: Evidence from Pension Reform Expectations*
Authors: Ciani Emanuele , Delavande Adeline , Etheridge Ben , Francesconi Marco 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
We examine how workers’ expectations about pension reform vary with proximity to reforms, information availability and worker characteristics. Using newly collected data, we find that (1) expectations about reform are revised upward by about 10 percentage points in the year prior to a reform, from a median of 50%, regardless of whether the reform is announced; (2) expectations increase more the stronger the media activity about imminent reforms; (3) the effect of information on expectations varies systematically with characteristics that proxy cognitive ability and information value; (4) expectations do not converge as a result of reform announcements or implementations.
Market Participation and Moral Decision-Making: Experimental Evidence from Greenland
Authors: Agneman Gustav , Chevrot-Bianco Esther 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
The relationship between market participation and moral values is the object of a long-lasting debate in economics, yet field evidence is mainly based on cross-cultural studies. We conduct rule-breaking experiments in 13 villages across Greenland (N = 543), where stark contrasts in market participation within villages allow us to examine the relationship between market participation and moral decision-making, holding village-level factors constant. First, we document a robust positive association between market participation and moral behaviour towards anonymous others. Second, market-integrated participants display universalism in moral decision-making, whereas non-market participants make more moral decisions towards co-villagers. A battery of robustness tests confirms that the behavioural differences between market and non-market participants are not driven by socioeconomic variables, childhood background, cultural identities, kinship structure, global connectedness and exposure to religious and political institutions.
Efficacy of the Stroll Safe Outdoor Fall Prevention Program: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Authors: Chippendale Tracy , Albert Steven M , Mahmood Atiya 
Published: September 2022

Abstract

Background and Objectives
Outdoor falls can negatively affect the independence and well-being of community-dwelling older adults. Although there is some overlap, there are also differences in risk factors for indoor and outdoor falls. There are no existing community-based fall prevention programs that specifically target outdoor fall prevention. To fill this gap, the Stroll Safe program was developed.

Research Design and Methods
A cluster-randomized controlled trial design was used with randomization at the site level. Participants (N = 86) were aged 60 and older, with a history of an outdoor fall or who had a fear of falling outdoors. Eight naturally occurring retirement community program sites were randomly assigned to the treatment or wait list control group. Outcome measures included the Outdoor Falls Questionnaire, the Falls Behavioral Scale for the Older Person, and the Falls Efficacy Scale-International to examine knowledge of risks, safe strategy use, protective behaviors, and fear of falling. An Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) was used to compare change scores between groups with covariates included for any initial differences between groups. A linear mixed model was also conducted to account for any clustering effects.

Results
Significant differences (ps &lt; .05) were found between groups for knowledge of outdoor fall risks and safe strategy use. Effect sizes were large (Cohen’s d = 1.2–1.9). Results were retained at 6-week follow-up.

Discussion and Implications
Stroll Safe is effective in improving knowledge of outdoor fall risks and increasing safe strategy use for community mobility. Stroll Safe fills a gap in outdoor fall prevention programs.

Iterative prior resampling and rejection sampling to improve 1-D geophysical imaging based on Bayesian evidential learning (BEL1D)
Authors: Michel Hadrien , Hermans Thomas , Nguyen Frédéric 
Published: September 2022

SUMMARY
The non-uniqueness of the solution of inverse geophysical problem has been recognized for a long-time. Although stochastic inversion methods have been developed, deterministic inversion using subsequent regularization is still more widely applied. This is likely due to their efficiency and robustness, compared to the computationally expensive and sometimes difficult to tune to convergence stochastic methods. Recently, Bayesian evidential learning 1-D imaging has been presented to the community as a viable tool for the efficient stochastic 1-D imaging of the subsurface based on geophysical data. The method has been proven to be as fast, or sometimes even faster, than deterministic solution. However, the method has a significant drawback when dealing with large prior uncertainty as often encountered in geophysical surveys: it tends to overestimate the uncertainty range. In this paper, we provide an efficient way to overcome this limitation through iterative prior resampling (IPR) followed by rejection sampling. IPR adds the posterior distribution calculated at a former iteration to the prior distribution in a subsequent iteration. This allows to sharpen the learning phase of the algorithm and improve the estimation of the final posterior distribution while rejection sampling eliminates models not fitting the data. In this contribution, we demonstrate that this new approach allows BEL1D to converge towards the true posterior distribution. We also analyse the convergence behaviour of the algorithm and derive guidelines for its application. We apply the approach for the interpretation of surface waves dispersion curves but the approach can be generalized to other geophysical methods.
Suppressive mechanisms of regulatory B cells in mice and humans
Authors: Matsumura Yutaka , Watanabe Rei , Fujimoto Manabu 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
B cells include immune-suppressive fractions, called regulatory B cells (Bregs), which regulate inflammation primarily through an interleukin 10 (IL-10)-mediated inhibitory mechanism. Several B-cell fractions have been reported as IL-10-producing Bregs in murine disease models and human inflammatory responses including autoimmune diseases, infectious diseases, cancer and organ-transplant rejection. Although the suppressive functions of Bregs have been explored through the hallmark molecule IL-10, inhibitory cytokines and membrane-binding molecules other than IL-10 have also been demonstrated to contribute to Breg activities. Transcription factors and surface antigens that are characteristically expressed in Bregs are also being elucidated. Nevertheless, defining Bregs is still challenging because their active periods and differentiation stages vary among disease models. The identity of the diverse Breg fractions is also under debate. In the first place, since regulatory functions of Bregs are mostly evaluated by ex vivo stimulation, the actual in vivo phenotypes and functions may not be reflected by the ex vivo observations. In this article, we provide a historical overview of studies that established the characteristics of Bregs and review the various suppressive mechanisms that have been reported to be used by Bregs in murine and human disease conditions. We are only part-way through but the common phenotypes and functions of Bregs are still emerging.

Published: September 2022

Abstract
The distribution of the thermal neutron flux has a significant impact on the treatment efficacy. We developed an irradiation method of overlapping irradiation fields using intensity modulators for the treatment of superficial tumors with the aim of expanding the indications for accelerator-based boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT). The shape of the intensity modulator was determined and Monte Carlo simulations were carried out to determine the uniformity of the resulting thermal neutron flux distribution. The intensity modulators were then fabricated and irradiation tests were conducted, which resulted in the formation of a uniform thermal neutron flux distribution. Finally, an evaluation of the tumor dose distribution showed that when two irradiation fields overlapped, the minimum tumor dose was 27.4 Gy-eq, which was higher than the tumor control dose of 20 Gy-eq. Furthermore, it was found that the uniformity of the treatment was improved 47% as compared to the treatment that uses a single irradiation field. This clearly demonstrates the effectiveness of this technique and the possibility of expanding the indications to superficially located tumors.
Disability in the Premodern Arab World
Authors: Scalenghe Sara 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Arab Sunni Muslim discourses and experiences of physical and sensory impairments are surveyed from the rise of Islam in the seventh century until about 1800. The geographical focus of this discussion, which is primarily a function of the available scholarship, is Egypt and Greater Syria, the area that corresponds roughly to today’s Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, and Israel and the Palestinian territories. Impairments appear frequently in premodern Arabic writings, especially in literature, chronicles, biographies and autobiographies, legal texts, and medical compendia, leaving the reader with the impression that people with impairments were everywhere in the Arab world. Yet, to date only a handful of articles and two historical monographs about the Arab world are explicitly situated within the field of disability history. This chapter provides a new benchmark on which historians of disability working in the Arab world can build in future studies.
Social History of Medicine and Disability History
Authors: Kudlick Catherine 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Disability history and social history of medicine are two subfields that share many common topics and sources but that approach them very differently. For medical historians, disability takes center stage as a problem that requires fixing, and the “victims” are primarily patients. For disability historians, disability suggests not just the person or practitioner, but also a unique understanding of all the elements, including politics, economics, and culture, that shape relationships for the disabled. Following a brief history of each subfield, two examples are presented—responses to epidemics and the idea of cure—to discuss how scholars can be in more productive conversation. As is demonstrated here, disability is not just a topic to be studied, but rather a tool of analysis. While the distinctive roots and purposes of the two subfields ensure that they will always be fundamentally incompatible, they can, and should, engage in productive conversation.
Documents, Ethics, and the Disability Historian
Authors: Richards Penny , Burch Susan 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
The factors driving research into disability history methodology in its practical dimensions (such as finding and analyzing sources and presenting findings), the cultural values that inform it, and who populates intended audiences all contribute to the invisible infrastructure of historical production. When historians of disability access a rich source of data, they also must ask who created it, who benefited from its preservation, and whose stories are left untold. Sharing knowledge—through preservation and dissemination—equally shapes disability historical work. In all of this, access and accessibility—from built spaces and source types to research aids and scholarly products—remain paramount. Ways to proceed with sensitivity and creativity in the exploration of disabled peoples’ and disability’s pasts are presented from the perspective of the United States.
Disability and Work in British West Africa
Authors: Grischow Jeff 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
World War II significantly affected the development of disability programs in British West Africa during the late colonial period. Beginning in the early 1940s, Britain’s Colonial Office worked with the West African governors to develop rehabilitation programs for disabled African veterans. In Britain, rehabilitation for disabled veterans took the form of social orthopedics, which equated citizenship with the ability to work; British programs therefore prioritized reintegration into the workforce as the main goal of rehabilitation. The colonial programs attempted to transfer the social orthopedics program to Africa. The project failed because the African veterans did not want to be remade into productive workers on the Western/capitalist model. However, it did produce two lasting legacies: the creation of a network of Disabled People’s Organizations during the 1950s and 1960s, and the development of a successful onchocerciasis control program between 1974 and 2002.
Deaf-Blindness and the Institutionalization of Special Education in Nineteenth-Century Europe
Authors: Vierestraete Pieter , Söderfeldt Ylva 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Careful analysis of underexplored and neglected case studies demonstrates how an initial interest in the behavior and constitution of early-nineteenth-century deaf-blind persons gradually made possible a professional and impersonal approach. The deaf-blind person in the early nineteenth century had been a creature of mostly unrefined, but therefore authentic, sensory experience, whose reduction to the supposedly simpler senses of smell, touch, and taste made the basic nature of humankind appear more clearly. In contrast, the educated deaf-blind person later in the century was a vessel for the display of pedagogic expertise. The institutionalization of special education for deaf-blind persons in western Europe thus can be characterized by a shift from listening to the “sound” of deaf-blind persons to a mere repetition of the discursive “noise” of professionals.
Disability and Madness in Colonial Asylum Records in Australia and New Zealand
Authors: Coleborne Catharine 
Published: September 2022

AbstractCase records examined here are those of inmates in two public institutions for the insane in colonial Victoria, Australia, and in Auckland, New Zealand, between 1870 and 1910. In the international field of mental health studies and histories of psychiatry, intellectual disability has been the subject of detailed historical inquiry and forms part of the critical discussion about how institutions for the “insane” housed a range of inmates in the nineteenth century. Yet the archival records of mental hospitals have rarely been examined in any sustained way for their detail about the physically disabled or those whose records denote bodily difference. References to the physical manifestations of various forms of intellectual or emotional disability, as well as to bodily difference and “deformity,” were part of the culture of the colonial institution, which sought to categorize, label, and ascribe identities to institutional inmates.
Prevalence, clinico-laboratory features, and the functional outcome of children with scrub typhus meningoencephalitis—a cohort study

Published: September 2022

SUMMARY
Scrub typhus is being reported as the most common cause of childhood meningoencephalitis (ME) in India. Hence, we planned to estimate the proportion of scrub typhus infection among children aged 1 month to 12 years with the clinical diagnosis of ME and to evaluate their demographic, clinical and laboratory characteristics. This cohort study was conducted in the Department of Pediatrics of a tertiary care teaching hospital in south India. One hundred and twenty-seven consecutive children aged 1 month to 12 years with the clinical diagnosis of ME were the participants. Their socio-demographic factors, clinical details, laboratory reports and outcomes were analyzed. The etiological agent was identified in 71 (56%) children. Orientia tsutsugamushi (Scrub typhus) was the most common infection (24.4%), of all children with ME. Children aged ≥5 years were frequently affected by scrub typhus ME. Eschar, capillary leak, hepatomegaly and splenomegaly were the predominant clinical features of scrub typhus ME. Thrombocytopenia and deranged liver function tests were common in scrub typhus ME. To conclude, Orientia tsutsugamushi was the most common organism identified in our study. Prompt recognition of some tell-tale clinical signs of scrub typhus (such as eschar, thrombocytopenia and hepatosplenomegaly), and timely initiation of antibiotics would lead to better outcomes as evident from the study.
