description: The literature on data privacy in terms of educational technology is a growing area of study. The perspective of educators has been captured extensively. However, the literature on students’ perspectives is missing, which is what we explore in this paper. We use a pragmatic qualitative approach with an experiential lens to capture students’ attitudes towards data privacy in terms of educational technology. We identified preliminary, common themes that appeared in the survey responses. The paper concludes by calling for more research on how students perceive data privacy in terms of educational technology.

description: This text analyses the role of “Lebensborn e. V.”, a Third Reich institution founded by Heinrich Himmler in 1935 to serve National Socialist population policy. Its aim was to promote “racially valuable” offspring. The essay analyses the effects of “Lebensborn e. V.” on the individuals associated with it in three main categories: Vergemeinschaftung, Kinderraub and “Ausmerze”. By analysing sources from the Arolsen Archives and the archives of the district of Upper Bavaria, the practice of Lebensborn and the reactions of the people involved are illuminated. From a micro-historical perspective, the text reflects on the leeway of the staff and the population. Overall, it shows how Lebensborn tried to shape the National Socialist “Volksgemeinschaft” and how it influenced the lives of those concerned.

Best Practice Guide

description: Work Package 7 ‘Scaling Applications for Tier-0 and Tier-1 Users’ provides medium-term petascaling and optimisation support for European HPC applications to ensure that they can make effective use of both Tier-0 and Tier-1 systems. Such applications-enabling projects typically last around six months and provide direct benefits to European researchers.
 Through the applications-enabling work, WP7 develops specific expertise on most, if not all, of the architectures which make up the top two tiers of the European HPC system. PRACE-1IP provided best practice guides on the PRACE Tier-0 systems that cover programming techniques, compilers, tools and libraries. PRACE-2IP supplements these with best practice guides for the other architectures which are important at Tier-1 to allow European researchers to make efficient use of these systems.
 PRACE-2IP Task 7.3 is called ‘Best Practice Guides for Tier-1 Architectures’. The main goal of this task is to investigate the efficient use of HPC systems, collect best practices on how to achieve good performance on the systems, and disseminate this knowledge through best practice guides. The target audience are users and support staff who are developing and enabling applications.
 Topics for these best practice guides include: optimal porting of applications (e.g., choice of numerical libraries and compiler options); architecture-specific optimisation and petascaling techniques; optimal system environment (e.g., tuneable system parameters, job placement and optimised system libraries); debuggers, performance analysis tools and programming environment.
 Task 7.3 covers a generic x86 cluster guide, six system-specific mini-guides for x86 clusters, a generic mini-guide for GPGPU-accelerated clusters, and the SuperMUC guide. The SuperMUC guide admittedly describes a Tier-0 system, however, it started in 2011 with the description of a Tier-1 system: SuperMIG, the SuperMUC migration system.
 Finally, because of the total size of the best practice guides, we decided not to include them as separate chapters in this report but to refer to the online versions on the PRACE RI web site instead.

description: This project assessed the impact that outdoor educational activities have on the forest of YMCA Camp Elphinstone and the trade-off between this impact and the outdoor experience for campers. We assessed the impacts of outdoor educational activities by identifying and measuring valued ecosystem components at four different areas that were defined by their disturbance loads: high, medium, low and no (control site). Four plots were set up in each area, in which vegetation cover, invasive species abundance and ground litter composition were surveyed. Canopy porosity and soil density were also measured across all four areas. By reviewing the relationships between the disturbance loads and the VEC data, the health of the four areas was assessed and a qualitative significance-level table was devised based on the characteristics of each activity, the number of campers per activity and the frequency of use throughout the year at the camp. With shelter building and fire building being the most impactful activities, we recommend they be restricted to the high disturbance “E-lodge” area in order to avoid further degradation of other areas. We also recommend the total significance level in any area to not exceed 4. Lastly, educational activities such as invasive species removal and tree or seed planting could be implemented to offset high residual significance activities and to improve the forest experience.

description:
Globally, transgender and other gender diverse (trans) people experience widespread prejudice, discrimination, violence, and other forms of stigma, which contribute to negative health outcomes. Most anti-trans stigma research has been conducted in high-income countries. Measurement of anti-trans stigma in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) is important for understanding and improving the health of trans populations globally. Accordingly, this scoping review explores the use of quantitative anti-trans stigma measures in LMICs. This scoping review follows the guidance of the PRISMA extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) Checklist and examines empirical research with trans populations in LMICs published in English, Spanish, Arabic, and Russian between 2001-2024. Study eligibility criteria included: 1) trans study population, 2) LMIC study location, 3) quantitative or mixed-method study design, and 4) quantitative measurement of anti-trans stigma. The search yielded 82 articles (representing 65 unique studies) from 34 LMICs. Most articles were published since 2018. No articles focused exclusively on trans men. About 62% of articles included a primary focus on stigma; health outcomes primarily examined HIV and mental health. Nearly all articles (95%) measured enacted stigma; other forms of stigma (e.g., internalized and anticipated) were less commonly measured, and structural stigma was only measured in 4 articles. More than half of the articles (55%) measured stigma both broadly and within specific contexts (e.g., from family, in health care). More research exploring anti-trans stigma is needed, especially with trans-masculine and other gender diverse people, measuring outcomes beyond HIV and mental health, and measuring forms of stigma beyond enacted stigma. Expanding and improving measurement of anti-trans stigma in LMICs can improve our understanding of the mechanisms shaping health equity to inform context specific and tailored health interventions to support trans communities worldwide.

description:
Objectives. To examine associations between adolescent dating violence (ADV) and suicide planning among girls and differences by race/ethnicity. Methods. Data were from the 2021 Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS), a cross-sectional, nationally representative study of 9th- to 12th-grade adolescents from US high schools (n = 3886). We used weighted logistic regression to examine associations between ADV and suicide planning and assess moderation by race/ethnicity. Results. Compared with girls who did not experience any ADV, girls who experienced both physical and sexual ADV had greater odds of making a suicide plan (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] =  5.35; 95% confidence interval [CI] =  3.27, 8.74), and the effect size was larger than for experiencing either type of ADV alone. The relationship between sexual ADV and suicide planning was exacerbated for Latina girls (AOR =  6.36; 95% CI =  3.96, 10.19) compared with White girls (AOR =  2.51; 95% CI =  1.45, 4.35). Conclusions. Experiencing any form of ADV increases the odds of suicide planning among girls, with stronger impacts for Latina girls experiencing only sexual ADV. Public Health Implications. Prevention of suicide planning for Latina girls who experience sexual ADV may be strengthened by integrating contextually tailored suicide prevention into prevention programs addressing healthy relationships and prevention of sexual violence.

Objectives Describe the role and benefit of Community Health Workers in American Indian communities as a novel solution to meeting home and community-based service (HCBS) needs. Methods Short communication based on extant literature and current policy challenges. Results Community health workers (CHW) play an essential role in various healthcare settings particularly in American Indian (AI) communities working to close gaps in preventive and comprehensive healthcare accessibility. CHWs close these gaps through providing expertise in culturally oriented and familial support, educating communities on acute and chronic illnesses and wellness, and dispelling misinformation regarding health issues. However, integration and application of CHWs into home- and community-based services has limited recognition and utilization in healthcare systems and healthcare payment. Robust training/credentialing pathways and sustainable funding streams are essential for the integration of CHWs into the formalized healthcare provider team. Barriers that prevent this integration include inconsistencies in documentation, lack of stable funding, and a lack of formal professional recognition. Conclusions Previously successful models of CHW integration promote formalized training programs, professional development opportunities, earning certifications, and promoting collaboration between CHWs and providers. Innovation Applying CHW use in HCBS can increase community wellness while mitigating impacts of health disparities in HCBS for an often-under-resourced set of communities – our nation's American Indian communities.

description: Barmer Ersatzkasse is one of the largest companies in Germany’s statutory health insurance. Yet, apart from their own commemorative brochures published for anniversaries, little is still known about its history. An initial exploration of the available sources shows the extent to which Barmer was involved in the National Socialist politics of forced sterilisation and in the persecution of “enemies of the state“, Jews and members who disagreed. While Barmer supported forced sterilisation in the early phase of National Socialist rule in terms of propaganda, it played an active role with regard to Jewish doctors and members: It was more consistent than other health insurance funds when it came to exclusion and harassment. The regime could rely on a National Socialist management and a corresponding company organisation. The proximity to National Socialism was disguised in commemorative publications in the post-war period until 1984. Since then, the fund has remained silent about its National Socialist past.

description: Ranked once again as one of the “Most livable cities in the World” by the Economist Intelligence Unit, Vancouver has been consistently praised for its high quality of life (The Economist, 2016). A key component to the city’s livability has been its unique urban fabric, untainted by freeway infrastructure. This study will investigate how Vancouver has grown without any freeways, and how this may be related to the rise in ‘livability’ as a planning discourse in the city. Several social, economic, and political factors have played into this social change, many of which were condensed in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Working within this time period, our research interpreted an interview and archival sources, public surveys, and regional planning strategies to understand what roles SPOTA (Strathcona Property Owners and Tenants Association), TEAM (The Electors’ Action Movement), and the ‘livability’ concept had in preventing the construction of freeways within Vancouver. Through this research we found that SPOTA’s ultimate contribution to the lack of freeways in Vancouver today is only influential given that its progress was carried on by TEAM and the promotion of livability in the following decade. TEAM played a largely underappreciated role in the stopping of freeways and from the beginning, the principles of livability held strong opinions against the use of automobiles. The results of this research will be key in exposing the history of ‘livability’ as a planning discourse, and why Vancouver will not accommodate for freeway construction. Through our research, we have identified a few instances of social amnesia among these topics in Vancouver, and our results are intended to alleviate some of this memory loss to maintain this social change.

description: Workers’ takeovers and workers’ self-management of companies have usually taken place in times of crisis, as in many Western European countries in the 1970s. West Germany saw fewer takeovers than Italy, France or Spain. In this article, the workers’ initiatives in the German glassblowing industry are analysed not only as a crisis phenomenon, but also as an offshoot of the grass roots democratic awakening in the world of work around 1968. Common assumptions about the passivity of workers saturated with prosperity or structurally deter-mined from the outside are being challenged. Five case studies from the glassblowing industry are used to analyse the reasons why workers’ takeovers were so rare and so seldom successful in the West German context. Finally, the implications of these historical experiences are discussed for current disputes, for the intensifying struggles around distribution and about workers’ takeovers’ potential as an emancipatory means of industrial action.

description: The author argues that the terror of the economy, which sees the progress of capitalist development as inevitable, creates one kind of totality. Orthodox Marxism attempted to abolish this totality – the ne-gation of freedom – by replacing it with another totality. The approaches of autonomous Marxism, on the other hand, sought to negate the totality itself, i.e. to combine liberation from the totality with the construction of a different society. This text shows that freedom can only really exist in the de-totalisation and the creation of a world in which there is room for many worlds.

description: The 5th PRACE Executive Industrial Seminar was an important step strengthening PRACE's industrial relations. The main objectives of this year’s Industrial Seminar were: The introduction of SHAPE, the SME High Performance Computing Adoption Programme in Europe, which will be implemented by a pilot project starting in June 2013. An introduction to Europe’s most exciting HPC applications used in industry and how they have changed their organizations prototyping and simulation paradigms. Understanding the requirements of and enhancing the programme access for large companies. The seminar's programme reflected the focus on SMEs. In order to meet the different requirements of large companies and SMEs, the PRACE Programme Access for Industry was dealt with in two parallel sessions, and a panel session was devoted to the discussion of the benefits and drawbacks of using open source software in industry.
 Further topics were the presentation of the state-of-the-art of using HPC in different industrial fields like engineering, finance, medical and pharmaceutical, as well as an overview of the results obtained by companies using the PRACE infrastructure. In addition, thematic sessions on HPC industrial applications in particular in the automotive and aerospace industry have been provided.
 A highlight was the presentation of the award for the Most Innovative HPC Solution in Europe. The winner of the second round of the open competition is the CERFACS CFD Combustion Group, a French research organization working closely with its industrial partners. The group was awarded for developing a massively parallel CFD tool for Large Eddy Simulations of gas turbine engine combustors. The second winner of the neck-and-neck race is Termo Fluids S.L. from Spain.
 The event took place in Bad Boll near Stuttgart over two half-days on the 15th and 16th of April 2013. The seminar attracted a total of 78 attendees, including 58 non-PRACE attendees and 34 speakers, who provided 34 talks and 7 parallel sessions. The feedback collected from the seminars participants showed that the event was a success. 21 of the companies were SMEs and 22 companies attended such an event for the first time. In total, the five industrial seminars have attracted as many as 142 different companies of various business and industrial profiles.
 Next year's PRACE Industrial Seminar will take place in Barcelona on the 22nd and 23rd of May 2014, just a few weeks before the end of PRACE's 3rd Implementation Phase when the European Research Infrastructure PRACE and its industrial support programmes will be established permanently. At the 6th Industrial Seminar in Barcelona the final SHAPE programme and the results of the SHAPE pilot project will be presented.

description: [아시아경제 정종오 기자] 두 개의 태양을 가진 외계행성이 발견됐다. 이번 발견에는 한국천문연구원의 연구원도 포함돼 있어 관심을 모은다. 한국천문연구원(원장 한인우)은 별표면 통과(Transit) 방법을 이용해 두 개의 별로 이뤄진 쌍성 주위를 공전하는 외계행성을 10개 째 발견했다고 20일 발표했다. 이번 연구 결과는 천체물리학저널(The Astrophysical Journal) 8월호에 실렸다. 별 표면 통과는 별 주위를 공전하는 행성이 별 표면을 가로질러 횡단하면서 별빛을 가려 어두워지는 현상으로부터 외계행성을 발견할 수 있는 방법을 말한다.

 

이번에 발견한 외계행성 '케플러-453b'는 크기가 지구의 6.2배인 가스형 행성일 것으로 추정된다. 이 행성의 모성(parent star)인 쌍성은 태양 질량의 94%와 20% 정도인 두 별로 27.3일의 주기로 서로 공전하고 있다. 케플러-453b는 이 쌍성계를 204.5일 주기로 돌고 있는 것으로 분석됐다. 케플러-453b는 태양계의 목성과 같은 가스형 행성으로 추정돼 행성 자체에 생명체가 존재할 가능성은 거의 없다. 다만 모성과 거리로 봤을 때 생명체가 살기 적합한 '생명체 존재가능 영역’(habitable zone)'에 있기는 하다. 이 때문에 이 행성 주위에 달과 같은 위성(exomoon)이 존재한다면 그 위성에는 생명체가 존재할 가능성이 있을 것으로 진단됐다. 이번 연구는 한국천문연구원의 토비아스 힌세 선임연구원을 비롯해 미국 샌디에이고의 윌리엄 웰쉬 교수 등 케플러 우주망원경 워킹 그룹의 국제 공동연구로 진행됐다. 공동 연구팀은 2009년에 발사돼 2013년까지 약 4년 동안 운영된 케플러 우주망원경의 관측 자료와 함께 지상에서 얻은 분광과 영상 관측 자료를 분석하여 이 외계행성을 발견했다.

 

우주에는 두 개 이상의 별들이 서로의 중력에 의해 묶여 존재한다고 알려져 있다. 인류가 현재까지 발견한 약 1940개의 외계행성 중 두 개 이상의 태양을 가진 외계행성은 매우 희귀한 것으로 이번 연구결과는 별표면 통과 방법에 의한 발견한 10번째 행성이다. 영화 '스타워즈'에도 주인공인 루크 스카이워커(Luke Skywalker)의 고향 행성인 타투인(Tatooine)에서 두 개의 태양이 동시에 지는 광경이 나온다. 이번 발견은 이런 광경이 우주에 실제 존재하며 두 개의 태양을 가진 타투인 행성도 여럿 존재할 수 있음을 밝히는 중요한 관측적 증거를 받아들여지고 있다.

description: ELIXIR-IIB ha partecipato alla Fiera Didacta Italia, che ha avuto luogo dal 20 al 22 maggio 2022 a Firenze (Fortezza da Basso) con un seminario interamente dedicato alla bioinformatica, non come disciplina a sé, ma come strumento innovativo per l’apprendimento della biologia. Il seminario, dal titolo “La bioinformatica per apprendere la biologia: uno strumento didattico innovativo”, è stato erogato mediante tecniche di apprendimento attivo, interattivo e collaborativo, venerdì 20 maggio dalle 16:30 alle 18 nella Palazzina Lorenese (sala S6). Attraverso un approccio pratico ed efficace, proposto dalla piattaforma del training di ELIXIR-IIB, si è mostrato ai docenti della scuola superiore come utilizzare risorse della bioinformatica per studiare alcuni selezionati argomenti di biologia, come la struttura del DNA e delle proteine o le funzioni e l’evoluzione del genoma. In questo modo è stato possibile comprendere come la bioinformatica possa essere un valido strumento di supporto didattico per esplorare e comprendere la biologia. In altre parole, non si tratterebbe di inserire la bioinformatica nel curriculum come disciplina a sé stante, ma di utilizzarne le risorse e gli strumenti per imparare la biologia in modo efficace e innovativo. Nella prima parte del seminario, si sono proposte alcune risorse bioinformatiche da utilizzare per lo studio di selezionati argomenti di biologia molecolare e cellulare. La restante parte del seminario, è stata dedicata a discutere con i docenti presenti le sfide e difficoltà dell’approccio proposto. ELIXIR-IIB offre inoltre ai docenti interessati, un successivo percorso formativo per l’apprendimento di risorse e strumenti bioinformatici utili a insegnare la biologia in modo efficace e innovativo.

description: The present document provides a snapshot of the contents of the PRACE-2IP work package 8 (hereafter WP8) web site (http://prace2ip-wp8.hpcforge.org) at the time of submission. The WP8 web site has been implemented to keep track of and publish the work accomplished in the work package in terms of re-design and refactoring of numerical codes, documentation, user guides, and publications. This was needed in order to deploy an effective instrument both to support and optimise collaborative work among the different groups involved in the development of the various applications, and to give to the scientific community an effective way to gain insight into the details of the on-going work, to the achieved results and to access the released software.
 The first part of the document provides technical details on the web infrastructure, introducing the basic adopted technologies, and describes its design and organisation. The FusionForge and the MediaWiki software represent the main tools exploited for creating the web site, proving to be specifically suitable to develop the intended web platform.
 In the second part, the status of the code refactoring work carried out in WP8 is presented. In the work package a number of applications, designed to perform large-scale numerical simulations in various scientific areas, namely Astrophysics, Material Science, Climate, Particle Physics and Engineering, are being re-designed and re-implemented in order to efficiently and effectively exploit the coming generation of supercomputing architectures. The work accomplished on each code is summarised and a few preliminary results shown, providing guidelines to the contents of the web site, where all the details are available.
 Finally, an outlook toward the next (and final) steps of the work package, is given, summarising the remaining activities. It is worth stressing how the adopted working methodology (based on a close collaboration between researchers and computational scientists) has allowed an early initiation of the process of validation and reintroduction of the codes in the users’ community, originally expected for the last months of WP8. A few of these codes (e.g. ABINIT, Quantum ESPRESSO or RAMSES) are even already adopted for current scientific production.

description: The PRACE-2IP Work Package 5 (WP5), “Best Practices for HPC Systems Commissioning”, has two objectives: Procurement, independent vendor relations and market watch (task 1) Best practices for HPC Centre Infrastructures (task 2) This Work Package builds on and expands the important work started in the PRACE Preparatory Phase project (PRACE-PP WP7) and continued through PRACE 1st Implementation Phase (PRACE-1IP WP8), which have all sought to reach informed decisions within PRACE as a whole on the acquisition and hosting of HPC systems and infrastructure.
 WP5 provides input for defining and updating procurement plans and strategies through the sharing of the state of the art and best practices in procuring and operating production HPC systems.
 Task 1 – Assessment of petascale systems – has performed a continuous market watch and analysis of trends in petascale HPC systems worldwide. The information, collected from public sources and industry conferences, is presented through comparisons and graphs that allow an easier and quicker examination of trends for different aspects of top-level HPC systems. Specific areas of interest are analysed in depth in terms of the market they belong to and the general HPC landscape, with a particular emphasis on the European point of view.
 As well as the general market analysis, this task also describes the link between hardware and software (in collaboration with software-specific work packages WP11 and WP12), providing information on the supported interfaces (programming models), benchmark results and user requirements.
 Task 2 – Best practices for designing and operating power efficient HPC centre infrastructures – has continued the production of white papers which explore specific topics related to HPC data centre design and operation, with input from PRACE members. It has also analysed the current state of the art in cooling and power efficient operating of HPC infrastructure.
 In addition, this task also includes the organization of the fourth edition of the “European Workshop on HPC Centre Infrastructures”, which will be hosted by CSCS in Lugano in the spring of 2013.

description: Bristol City Council focuses on the questions: How can crowdfunding as an investment activity be made use of to collectively raise the capital to install energy efficiency measures within community buildings within an urban area? Community centres have always been hubs for communities in the UK. Cuts from local authorities mean that many services once coordinated by the council are now being taken on by the local community. Community occupied buildings are often the last to receive the necessary energy efficiency adaptations and this is nearly always down to a lack of finance. The energy efficiency of these buildings is key to the level of comfort. Moreover, if energy bills can be reduced, there is ultimately more revenue available for the community to undertake their core activities. Crowdfunding not only has the benefit of being able to raise capital in a collective way, but it also is a method that attracts attention by its very nature and requires the residents of Bristol to come together to raise the funds required.

Introduction Individuals with chronic conditions have increased risk of severe COVID-19 infection. Few studies have been conducted in the United States regarding their engagement in recommended preventive behaviors. This study examines the associations between chronic conditions and adherence to COVID-19 preventive measures and vaccination intent in a community-based study conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted July-December 2020 among residents in Pitt County, North Carolina. Online surveys collected information on demographics, physical health and health behaviors, and COVID-19 preventive behaviors, including vaccination intent. Logistic regression estimated associations between any chronic condition (vs. none) and adherence to each preventive measure (always/most of the time vs. half the time or less), adjusting for age, race, gender, smoking, and alcohol. Analyses were repeated with increasing number of chronic conditions. Results Among 671 participants, adherence to preventive measures was often >90%. Intent to vaccinate showed evidence of a statistically significant dose response relationship with each additional number of chronic conditions (adjusted odds ratio [OR]=1.19; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.03, 1.37). An increased odds of wearing a facemask in public was also found for any chronic condition, though this did not reach statistical significance (adjusted OR=1.69; 95% CI: 0.97, 2.95). We did not find significant associations between having a chronic condition and adherence to other preventive measures such as avoiding large crowds or distancing six feet apart. Conclusion Adoption of preventive measures is an essential public health tool during epidemics/pandemics, particularly in the absence of vaccines. Our findings have implications for future public health messaging during a large-scale epidemic based on whether someone is likely engaged with and more trusting of the health care system (those with chronic conditions) versus those who are not.

Sleep is essential for overall health. Greenspace may contribute to sleep health through, for instance, improving mood, reducing sleep disruptors (e.g., poor air quality), and promoting physical activity. Although greenspace likely differs across populations, few studies have included diverse populations. To investigate greenspace-sleep health associations, overall and by age, race and ethnicity, and socioeconomic status, we used data collected at enrollment (2003-2009) from women in the Sister Study (n=1,612 Hispanic/Latina, n=4,421 non-Hispanic (NH)-Black, and n=41,657 NH-White). Participants' geocoded home addresses were linked to NASA's Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer Normalized Difference Vegetation Index data (250m resolution) to capture greenspace tertiles (further categorized as low/moderate vs. high). Participants reported seven sleep dimensions, which we assessed individually, along with a multidimensional sleep health measure (categories: favorable, moderate, poor). Adjusting for individual- and environmental/neighborhood-level characteristics, we used Poisson regression with robust variance to estimate prevalence ratios and 95% confidence intervals (PR[CI]). We tested for interaction and estimated age-, race and ethnicity-, and educational attainment category-specific associations. Among participants (mean±SD age=55.7±9.0 years), those with low/moderate vs. high greenspace had a lower prevalence of favorable sleep (58% vs. 66%). After adjustment, low/moderate vs. high greenspace was associated with a 32% higher prevalence of moderate (PR=1.32 [1.27-1.38]) and 12% higher prevalence of poor (PR=1.12 [1.07-1.16]) vs. favorable sleep health. Magnitudes of associations were higher among NH-White women vs. minoritized racial-ethnic groups and women with higher vs. lower educational attainment. Higher greenspace was associated with favorable sleep, with stronger associations among groups with more social advantages.

Importance: Among older women (aged ≥50 years) with ERBB2 (formerly HER2 or HER2/neu)-positive breast cancer, research has shown racial and ethnic disparities in access to ERBB2-targeted therapies, with Black women receiving treatment at lower rates than their White counterparts. Objective: To examine racial and ethnic disparities in receipt of ERBB2-targeted therapies and changes in receipt over time. Design, Setting, and Participants: This retrospective cohort study used Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results-Medicare linked data from January 1, 2010, to December 31, 2020. Beneficiaries who were diagnosed with ERBB2-positive breast cancer between 2010 and 2019, were aged 66 years or older at diagnosis, were continuously enrolled in Medicare Parts A and B in the 12 months before and after diagnosis, and had localized or regional stage disease at diagnosis were included. Data were analyzed from February through September 2024. Exposure: Race and ethnicity defined as non-Hispanic Black or African American, Hispanic, or non-Hispanic White. Main Outcome and Measures: The primary outcome was receipt of ERBB2-targeted therapies in the 12 months after diagnosis of ERBB2-positive breast cancer. Modified Poisson regression was used to evaluate the probability of receiving ERBB2-targeted therapy by race and ethnicity. Results: Among 12 765 beneficiaries with ERBB2-positive breast cancer (median [IQR] age, 74 [69-80] years; 99.2% female), 8.1% were of Black, 6.9% Hispanic, and 85.0% White race and ethnicity, and 54.2% received ERBB2-targeted therapy. The overall proportion who received ERBB2-targeted therapies increased from 41.3% in 2010-2011 to 64.3% in 2018-2019. Compared with White patients, Black patients had a lower likelihood of receiving ERBB2-targeted therapies in 2010-2011 (adjusted risk ratio [ARR], 0.81; 95% confidence limit [CL], 0.68-0.97), as did Hispanic patients (ARR, 0.75; 95% CL, 0.62-0.92). Racial and ethnic disparities in receipt of ERBB2-targeted therapies narrowed over time, with no significant differences observed across racial and ethnic groups in 2018-2019 for Black patients (ARR, 0.97; 95% CL, 0.87-1.08) and Hispanic patients (ARR, 1.05; 95% CL, 0.95-1.16). Conclusions and Relevance: These findings suggest a narrowing of racial and ethnic disparities in receipt of ERBB2-targeted therapies over time among older Medicare beneficiaries with ERBB2-positive breast cancer. Future research is needed to understand the practices that contributed to the narrowing of racial and ethnic disparities and to develop implementation strategies to effectively improve the quality and equity of breast cancer care.

description: Healthy urban forests improve human health, provide a variety of ecosystem services, and support plant and animal diversity. It is critical to monitor the health of urban forests due to the anthropogenic stressors they face and their importance in urban environments, and citizen science has shown to be a valuable tool to accomplish this goal (Galloway, Tudor, & Vander Haegen, 2006). Citizen science involves engaging ordinary citizens to volunteer their time to collect scientific data, often in the form of educational events or meetups. The city of Vancouver, Canada, has a large urban forest, with canopy cover making up 18% of the city area; however, canopy cover is declining due to development (City of Vancouver, 2014). The Vancouver Park Board is interested in increasing awareness about urban forests through educational opportunities, such as citizen science programs, that encourage the public to take part in helping to monitor the health of their local forests. To meet these goals, this project engaged citizens in Vancouver to reveal perceptions of urban forests, developed and tested a citizen science method to monitor aspects of urban forest health, and provided recommendations on how citizen science programs could be developed in the future.
