description: This dissertation examines the design and the effect of income support policies on employment outcomes for socio-economically disadvantaged clients. Specifically, I examine Temporary Assistance for Needy families (TANF) and the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), bringing together the literature from Public Administration and Economics to assess these policies from 1996 to 2013. Using quantitative econometric analysis that uses large datasets comprised of data from the Census Bureau, the Urban Institute, University of Kentucky Center for Poverty Research and the Bureau of Labor Statistics, I find that some features of work based safety net (refundable EITC, some earned income disregard policies, human capital development assistance) are associated with positive employment outcomes. In essay 1, I focus on the relationship between Second Order Devolution (SOD) and administrative exclusion and find that for clients up to 150 percent of the Federal Poverty Level and for single mothers, living in an SOD state increases the likelihood of an administrative exit. Following essay 1, I then examine the interaction between financial incentives embedded in TANF and EITC in essay 2 and find mixed results where some combinations of financial incentives within the state EITC and TANF programs seem to lead to better employment outcomes than other combinations. Finally, essay 3 takes a closer look at job search programs under TANF, indicating that participation in human capital development treatments such as skills training increases employment likelihoods for socioeconomically disadvantaged individuals. The results of this dissertation indicate that though some of these program features appear to be working for socioeconomically disadvantaged populations, still complex program rules, bureaucratic structures may limit clients’ access to welfare programs. Simplifying program rules under TANF, providing better performance measure for federal assessment of state TANF programs, more states adopting refundable EITC program, providing skills and training opportunities for clients could lead to better employment outcomes for at-risk populations.

description:
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is common among all ages, but the associations between symptoms, gut physiology, and ageing are poorly understood. We aimed to characterize patients of different age by comparing symptom reports and gut physiology measures. This retrospective cohort study included IBS patients that completed questionnaires (severity of (non-) gastrointestinal and psychological symptoms, quality of life) and gut physiology testing (transit time, rectal sensitivity, anorectal manometry, small bowel permeability). We included 1677 IBS patients (females 74%, mean age 39 ± 14 years). Younger age was associated with more severe symptoms and worse quality of life. Ageing affects the physiologic state of the gut; older patients have slower gut transit and have an altered anorectal function. Exploratory analyses suggest that age-related changes in gut sensorimotor function could partially explain the severity of specific gastrointestinal symptoms. Our results underline that age should be taken into consideration in the management of IBS.

description: Motorized vehicles (MV) and non-motorized vehicles (NMV) are mixed in the intersection center area (ICA). This mixing leads to complicated interactions between vehicles, which seriously affects traffic safety, especially at mixed intersections of high density. To deep understanding of the interaction course between motorized and non-motorized vehicles in ICAs. Two intersections with a high density of interaction behavior between motorized and non-motorized vehicles were investigated through high-resolution traffic video. Firstly, to extract high-precision trajectories from roadside video, we proposed a new trajectory extraction framework that integrates Yolov7, Deepsort, and the trajectory reconstruction algorithm, which integrated the social force model and particle filtering (SFPF) proposed in our previous research. Second, 183 complete interaction events between motorized and non-motorized vehicles were extracted based on the surrogate safety indicator TTC, and latent variables affecting the course of interaction behavior between motorized and non-motorized vehicles were defined based on turning direction, kinetic state, surrounding environment, signal light, vehicle action behavior, and types of NMV. Third, an ordered logit model was built to study the interactions. Analyzing the significance of the model showed that the following variables have a significant effect on the severity of the conflict (p < 0.05 or lower): the turning directions of the two vehicles, their speeds, steering behaviors, the distance between the conflict point and the vehicle, and the surrounding environment. The vehicles entering the ICA 10 s before the end of the signal phase have a higher probability of having a serious crash event while making the interaction. The study contributes to developing active safety control and driver assistance strategies.

description: Powered 2-wheeler (PTW) safety remains a critical concern, prompting the investigation into the efficacy of advanced rider assistance systems (ARAS) in reducing crash rates. The objective of this study is to provide a comprehensive quantification of the effects of 2 such systems, Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB), on the avoidance or mitigation of motorcycle crashes. Using real-world motorcycle crash data, this research employed kinematic reconstruction techniques and numerical simulations to evaluate the impact of ACC and AEB on crash reduction. A parametric study was conducted, exploring various parameters including trigger distances, deceleration rates, and field of view, to assess their influence on the effectiveness of this systems in crashes involving PTWs. The analysis revealed significant findings regarding the effectiveness of ACC and AEB in reducing crash rates involving motorcycles. Notably, ACC, especially in dynamic mode with a trigger distance of 40 m, demonstrated the ability to prevent 53% of crashes, resulting in impact speed reductions ranging from 4 to 25 km/h. Similarly, AEB exhibited remarkable effectiveness, reducing impact speeds by 2.5 to 38.9 km/h, with avoidance rates ranging from 7% to 63%. Optimization of key parameters such as triggering strategy, deceleration, sensor range, and field of view is crucial for maximizing the effectiveness of ARAS in motorcycle safety applications. These findings provide valuable insights for manufacturers and policymakers, highlighting the need for tailored approaches to system design and implementation. By refining these systems based on empirical data and analysis, significant improvements can be made in motorcycle safety, ultimately saving lives and reducing the severity of crashes on roadways.

description: School drop-off times can result in high volumes of motor vehicle traffic and drivers may engage in risky behaviors that may put children at risk and inhibit active school transportation. The study objective is to examine the association between features of the roadway physical environment and the number of different risky driving behavior types around selected elementary schools in seven Canadian municipalities during morning drop-off times. In this descriptive study research assistants in seven Canadian municipalities coded whether or not (yes/no) any of 9 types of risky driving behaviors were observed during morning school drop-off times and active transportation counts at 552 elementary schools. Proportions of driving behaviors, overall and by type, were analyzed for each municipality. Schools in the highest decile and lowest decile of risky driving behaviors types were contrasted by features of the physical environment and presence of school crossing guards. Risky driving behaviors were observed at 98% of the 552 schools. The most commonly observed behavior was dropping child off on the opposite side of the street with the child subsequently crossing midblock with no traffic controls (80%). Schools with the fewest types of risky behaviors observed had more favorable Active Living Environment scores, curb extensions present more frequently, more restricted parking signage, more access to school entrances, and had child crossing guards less often. The occurrence of risky driving behaviors is unacceptably high, with some inter-city differences observed. Understanding the extent and type of risky driving behaviors, as well as the environment in which these behaviors occur, can inform school, school board, and municipal interventions to reduce such actions.

description:
Concept inventories (CIs) have become widely used tools for assessing students’ learning and assisting with educational decisions. Over the past three decades, CI developers have utilized various design approaches and methodologies. As a result, it can be challenging for those developing new CIs to identify the most effective and appropriate methods and approaches. This scoping review aimed to identify and map key design stages, summarize methodologies, identify design gaps and provide guidance for future efforts in the development and validation of CI tools. A preliminary literature review combined theoretical thematic analysis (deductive, researcher-driven) focusing on specific data aspects, and inductive thematic analysis (data-driven), using emerging themes independent of specific research questions or theoretical interests. Expert discussions complemented the analysis process. The scoping review analyzed 106 CI articles and identified five key development stages: define the construct, determine and validate content domain; identify misconceptions; item formation and response processes design; test item selection and validation; and test application and refinement. A descriptive design model was developed using a mixed-method approach, incorporating expert input, literature review, student-oriented analysis, and statistical tests. Various psychometric assessments were employed to validate the test and its items. Substantial gaps were noted in defining and determining the validity and reliability of CI tools, and in the evidence required to establish these attributes. The growing interest in utilizing CIs for educational purposes has highlighted the importance of identifying and refining the most effective design stages and methodologies. CI developers need comprehensive guidance to establish and evaluate the validity and reliability of their instruments. Future research should focus on establishing a unified typology of CI instrument validity and reliability requirements, as well as the types of evidence needed to meet these standards. This effort could optimize the effectiveness of CI tools, foster a cohesive evaluation approach, and bridge existing gaps.

description:
The snowball Earth hypothesis predicts that continental chemical weathering diminished substantially during, but rebounded strongly after, the Marinoan ice age some 635 Mya. Defrosting the planet would result in a plume of fresh glacial meltwater with a different chemical composition from underlying hypersaline seawater, generating both vertical and lateral salinity gradients. Here, we test the plumeworld hypothesis using lithium isotope compositions in the Ediacaran Doushantuo cap dolostone that accumulated in the aftermath of the Marinoan snowball Earth along a proximal-distal (nearshore-offshore) transect in South China. Our data show an overall decreasing δ7Li trend with distance from the shoreline, consistent with the variable mixing of a meltwater plume with high δ7Li (due to incongruent silicate weathering on the continent) and hypersaline seawater with low δ7Li (due to synglacial distillation). The evolution of low δ7Li of synglacial seawater, as opposed to the modern oceans with high δ7Li, was likely driven by weak continental chemical weathering coupled with strong reverse weathering on the seafloor underneath silica-rich oceans. The spatial pattern of δ7Li is also consistent with the development and then collapse of the meltwater plume that occurred at the time scale of cap dolostone accumulation. Therefore, the δ7Li data are consistent with the plumeworld hypothesis, considerably reduced chemical weathering on the continent during the Marinoan snowball Earth, and enhanced reverse weathering on the seafloor of Precambrian oceans.

description: Expressways in hilly areas feature complex alignment and environments constrained by terrain conditions, significantly threatening life and property safety. This study aims to investigate crash risk prediction of expressways in hilly areas through alignment and environment features and identify determinants of the high risk for safety improvement. Based on 5 years of crash data on casualties and property damage of an expressway in southwestern China, the order technique and five clustering algorithms were employed to determine and classify risk levels. Environment features were extracted by semantic segmentation with a DeepLabv3 model. The study established four ensemble learning models to predict crash risks, and the interpretable model approach was adopted to understand contributing features. XGBoost achieved the best overall performance, with the accuracy and F1 score reaching 0.9259 and 0.8886. The proportion and variation rate of trucks and cars, and the proportions of constructions and the road positively correlated with high risks, while the proportions of the vegetation and road had negative correlations. The horizontal and vertical alignments, including long steep slopes, smaller curve radii, shorter transition curves, and smaller convex and concave curves radii, were linked to high risks. This study proposes an approach to predict crash risks on road sections without historical crash data. Combining the XGBoost model with the SHAP approach, enables accurate identification of risks on expressways in hilly areas using alignment and environment features and enhances the understanding of how these factors contribute to high risks.

description:
Prior studies have reported a decrease in the proportion of US adults with hypertension that had controlled blood pressure (BP). We analyzed data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (n=25,128, ≥18 years of age) to determine changes in BP control from 2013-2014 to 2021-2023. Hypertension was defined as systolic BP ≥140 mmHg, diastolic BP ≥90 mmHg or antihypertensive medication use. BP control was defined as systolic BP <140 mmHg and diastolic BP <90 mmHg. The age-adjusted prevalence of hypertension (95%CI) was 32.8% (31.2%-34.4%) in 2013-2014 and 32.0% (30.1%-33.9%) in 2021-2023. Among US adults with hypertension, the age-adjusted proportion (95%CI) with controlled BP was 54.1% (49.1%-59.2%), 48.6% (44.5%-52.7%), and 48.3% (45.8%-50.8%) in 2013-2014, 2015-2016 and 2017-2020, respectively (p-trend=0.058), and 51.1% (47.9%-54.3%) in 2021-2023 (p-value=0.184 comparing 2021-2023 versus 2017-2020). The proportion (95%CI) of US adults taking antihypertensive medication with controlled BP was 72.0% (68.5%-75.5%), 66.7% (62.9%-70.5%), and 67.8% (65.3%-70.3%) in 2013-2014, 2015-2016, and 2017-2020, respectively (p-trend=0.085), and 68.3% (64.8%-71.9%) in 2021-2023 (p-value=0.654 comparing 2021-2023 versus 2017-2020). Among non-Hispanic Black adults, BP control increased from 37.4% (95%CI 33.6%-41.1%) to 49.6% (95%CI 42.3%-56.9%) between 2017-2020 and 2021-2023 for those with hypertension (p-value=0.005), and from 52.6% (95%CI 47.4%-57.8%) to 62.6% (95%CI 55.6%-69.7%) for those taking antihypertensive medication (p-value=0.033). There was no difference in BP control across race/ethnicity groups in 2021-2023. The decline in BP control from 2013-2014 to 2017-2020 did not continue through 2021-2023. An increase in BP control occurred from 2017-2020 and 2021-2023 among non-Hispanic Black adults.

description:
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) affects a significant proportion of the population and is associated with numerous adverse outcomes including lower educational attainment, occupational challenges, increased substance use, and various mental health issues including psychosis. This study examined the demographic, clinical, cognitive, social cognitive and functional differences between youth at clinical high-risk (CHR) for psychosis with and without co-morbid ADHD. Data was drawn from the North American Prodrome Longitudinal Studies (NAPLS2 and NAPLS3), which included 764 and 710 CHR individuals, respectively. After applying exclusion criteria, the sample consisted of 271 CHR participants with ADHD and 1118 without ADHD. All data was examined cross-sectionally. Compared to the non-ADHD group, the ADHD group was younger, had more difficulties with role functioning, premorbid functioning, social cognition, were more likely to have a co-morbid learning disorder and reported less depression symptoms. There were no significant differences between the groups on positive or negative psychotic symptoms, transition rates, adverse events, or other co-morbid disorders including substance use and depression. Co-morbid ADHD is likely not a significant predictor of transition to psychosis among CHR youth, however those CHR with ADHD may experience symptoms at a younger age than those without and present with a distinct clinical profile.

BACKGROUND: We derived meaningful individual-level change thresholds for worsening in selected patient-reported outcomes version of the common terminology criteria for adverse events (PRO-CTCAE®) items and their composite scores. METHODS: We used two data sources, the PRO-TECT trial (Alliance AFT-39) that collected PRO-CTCAE data from adults with advanced cancer at 26 United States (U.S.) community oncology practices and the PRO-CTCAE validation study that collected PRO-CTCAE data from adults undergoing chemotherapy or radiation therapy at nine U.S. cancer centers or community oncology practices. Both studies administered selected PRO-CTCAE items and EORTC QLQ-C30 scales. Conceptually, relevant QLQ-C30 domains were used as anchors to estimate meaningful change thresholds for deterioration in corresponding PRO-CTCAE items and their composite scores. Items or composites with ǀρǀ ≥ 0.30 correlation with QLQ-C30 scales were included. Changes in PRO-CTCAE scores and composites were estimated for patients who met or exceeded a 10-point deterioration on the corresponding QLQ-C30 scale. Change scores were computed between baseline and the 3-month timepoint in PRO-TECT, and in the PRO-CTCAE validation study between baseline and a single follow-up visit that occurred between 1 and 7 weeks later. For each PRO-CTCAE item, change scores could range from - 4 to 4; for a composite, change scores could range from - 3 to 3. RESULTS: Change scores in QLQ-C30 and PRO-CTCAE were available in 406 and 792 patients in PRO-TECT and the validation study, respectively. Across QLQ-C30 scales, the proportion of patients with a 10-point or greater worsening on QLQ-C30 ranged from 15 to 30% in the PRO-TECT data and 13% to 34% in the validation data. Across PRO-CTCAE items, anchor-based meaningful change estimates for deterioration ranged from 0.05 to 0.30 (mean 0.19) in the PRO-TECT data and from 0.19 to 0.53 (mean 0.36) in the validation data. For composites, they ranged from 0.06 to 0.27 (mean 0.17) in the PRO-TECT data and 0.22 to 0.51 (mean 0.37) in the validation data. CONCLUSION: In both datasets, the minimal meaningful individual-level change threshold for worsening was one point for all items and composite scores.

description: Taxi crashes rank second highest among all commercial vehicle crashes, primarily due to driver factors. Conducting driver occupational analysis is imperative for safeguarding the safety of taxi operations. This study used a survey questionnaire among 4,383 traditional and ride-hailing taxi drivers in China, analyzing 25 crash-related factors from an occupational standpoint. Subsequently, a multiple indicators multiple causes (MIMIC) model was devised to delve into the mediating effects and crash causation mechanisms. The distinct influences of various factors on crash occurrence between traditional and ride-hailing taxi drivers are emphasized. The findings show that ride-hailing taxi drivers tend to be younger, have higher education levels, and have a higher proportion of part-time employment compared to traditional taxi drivers. They also report lower average income and management fees, shorter average driving hours, fewer severe sleep issues and fatigue levels, and lower crash rates. Further analysis uncovers that for traditional taxi drivers, gender and 5 factors directly affect crashes, and age and 7 factors indirectly affect crashes through unsafe driving behaviors. For ride-hailing drivers, occupational status and 5 factors, plus management fees and 9 others, play significant roles in safety. Overall, the influence of individual attributes on crash incidence varies between taxi drivers, with age and occupational status being the most significant factors. Additionally, the immediate economic burden has a stronger direct impact on crashes for both driver types. Furthermore, intensity-related factors, such as fatigue and extended continuous driving periods, contribute to unsafe driving behaviors and increase crash risk indirectly. With the use of targeted prevention policies proposed in this study, significant strides can be made in reducing the incidence of taxi crashes and enhancing overall transportation safety.

description: Washington State implemented a new policy in 2004 that allowed drivers younger than 70 years old to renew their driver license by mail or online at every other renewal. Drivers aged 70 years and older were still required to renew in-person every 6 years. The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether this policy change was associated with motor vehicle crash (MVC) injury and fatality among drivers, non-drivers, and all road users aged 45–69 years. Controlled interrupted time series analysis models were fit to compare injury and fatality rates for these road users affected by the requirement to older road users not affected by the requirement (70 years and older). Differential level and slope changes in injury and fatality rates were used to estimate associations with the change in the license renewal requirement. We did not find evidence that implementation of online driver license renewal in Washington was associated with increased injury or fatality rates among drivers, non-drivers, or all road users aged 45–69 years relative to those aged 70 years and older. Allowing driver license renewal online or by mail at every other renewal appears to be a safe strategy for less restrictive driver licensing for drivers aged 45–69 years. Future research should continue to evaluate the potential impacts of in-person and online renewal policies.

description: This paper presents a novel hybrid dynamic path planning algorithm termed GIBi-RRT-IDWA, which enhances global path planning by amalgamating the Bi-RRT algorithm with the local path planning capabilities of the refined DWA algorithm. Through enhancements in node expansion techniques, Improvements in Tree Expansion to eliminate redundancy, and improvements in Sample Point Generation to augment the Bi-RRT algorithm, the algorithm achieves heightened search efficiency and path security, ultimately leading to the derivation of globally optimal trajectories. The motion model for USV is refined to encompass environmental factors such as winds and currents, pertinent to marine contexts. Furthermore, the evaluation function of the DWA algorithm undergoes enhancements, incorporating elements from heuristic functions within the A* algorithm and radar-based assessment of search range. These improvements facilitate expedited Goal point tracking and fortify the USV's capability to navigate around hazards. Experimental findings corroborate the efficacy of the GIBi-RRT-IDWA algorithm, showcasing its superiority over conventional DWA algorithm and IDWA algorithm. Notably, the algorithm demonstrates prowess in generating shorter and safer trajectories, adeptly navigating through intricate and dynamic waterside environments. Consequently, it improves path planning strategies' adaptability and resilience, allowing USVs to navigate more safely and efficiently.
