Hyperlipidemia, Acculturation, And Health Insurance Coverage In United States Foreign-Born Individuals, Debola Olayinka Ola
Hyperlipidemia, Acculturation, And Health Insurance Coverage In United States Foreign-Born Individuals, Debola Olayinka Ola
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Hyperlipidemia is one of the modifiable risk factors for cardiovascular diseases (CVD), the leading cause of death among minority populations in the United States, including foreign-born people. Therefore, preventing and treating hyperlipidemia alongside other CVD risk factors is critical for avoiding CVD. Prior research examined disparities in health insurance coverage, length of stay, and blood cholesterol with mixed observations over time with new immigrants. This study aimed to determine if there was a statistically significant association between language spoken at home, length of stay in the United States, having health insurance coverage or none, and high cholesterol level status among …
Browning Events In Arctic Ecosystems: Diverse Causes With Common Consequences, Scott Davidson
Browning Events In Arctic Ecosystems: Diverse Causes With Common Consequences, Scott Davidson
School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences
Arctic ecosystems are experiencing extreme climatic, biotic and physical disturbance events that can cause substantial loss of plant biomass and productivity, sometimes at scales of >1000 km2. Collectively known as browning events, these are key contributors to the spatial and temporal complexity of Arctic greening and vegetation dynamics. If we are to properly understand the future of Arctic terrestrial ecosystems, their productivity, and their feedbacks to climate, understanding browning events is essential. Here we bring together understanding of browning events in Arctic ecosystems to compare their impacts and rates of recovery, and likely future changes in frequency and distribution. We …

Empowering Teaching And Learning With Educational Technology: Literature Review, Suijing Yang, Daniel Taylor-Griffiths, Fabienne Van Der Kleij, Pauline Taylor-Guy, Ralph Saubern
Digital learning research
Many existing reviews of educational technologies focus on the affordances of specific types of technology rather than how different technologies can be designed and used to achieve specific teaching and learning objectives. Furthermore, there appears to be a widely held assumption that the use of educational technology will result in improved outcomes. However, there has been limited scrutiny of evidence about the extent to which use of educational technologies impacts teaching and learning outcomes in school contexts. To address these gaps in understanding of educational technologies, this literature review examines the design of technologies, exploring how they have been leveraged …
Quantifying Dust Nutrient Mobility Through An Alpine Watershed, Jeffrey R. Nielson, Janice Brahney
Quantifying Dust Nutrient Mobility Through An Alpine Watershed, Jeffrey R. Nielson, Janice Brahney
Watershed Sciences Faculty Publications
Dust has the potential to play a significant role in the nutrient dynamics of alpine watersheds with important ecological implications. However, little is known about how dust nutrients circulate through the environment and which watershed characteristics facilitate dust impacts on water quality. This study explored the contribution of dust-deposited nutrients, focusing on a high-elevation Long Term Ecological Research site, where dust samples have been continuously collected since 2017. We incorporated observed dust nutrient compositions, including fractions of inorganic and organic nitrogen and phosphorus, into a popular hydrological model, the Soil and Water Assessment Tool, and ran simulations for 2019–2021.

Travel to and from distant cancer treatment facilities can place a significant burden on cancer patients, particularly rural and minority survivors. Thus, the purpose of our investigation was to examine the association between patient travel distance and delays in types of treatment for breast cancer (surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, and hormonal therapy) and treatment delays. Using a novel linkage between the state cancer registry and administrative data from Medicaid and a private insurance plan, 2155 BC patients were successfully linked to create the cohort. ArcGIS was used to geocode all case residences and treatment facility addresses and calculate network distance between …

Harare: Inheriting A Settler-Colonial City: Change Or Continuity? By Carole Rakodi, David Wasserman
The Geographical Bulletin
Africa has a long colonial legacy. Whether it was the French in the Ivory Coast, the Portuguese in Angola, or British settlers in Southern Rhodesia, European nations had a significant impact on the social, political, and economic landscapes of Africa's cities. Such places were built and managed to reflect the needs of settlers, rather than 'natives.'

Rural Restructuring: Global Processes And Their Responses By Terry Marsden, Philip Lowe, And Sarah What More, Editors., M. Duane Nellis
The Geographical Bulletin
(Cloth). To fully understand the transformation occurring in rural areas requires a broader, more geographically holistic approach to analysis ofthe rural system. Research needs to focus on the implications of reorganization of the international food system, as well as changes taking place in rural areas associated with capitalist recombinations and efforts at some form of rural sustainability.
The Evolving Coast By Richard A. Davisjr, C. Nicholas Raphael
The Evolving Coast By Richard A. Davisjr, C. Nicholas Raphael
The Geographical Bulletin
The most obvious and attractive boundary to people is that which separates the land from the sea. Although shorelines have been examined and classified since the early part of this century (e.g. Gulliver, 1899: Suess, 1909), understanding of their hazards and the consequence of reckless development seems, until quite recently, to have passed us by.
Europe At The Margins: New Mosaics Of Inequality By Costis Hadjimichalis And David Sadler, Editors, Wendy Shaw
Europe At The Margins: New Mosaics Of Inequality By Costis Hadjimichalis And David Sadler, Editors, Wendy Shaw
The Geographical Bulletin
Since the mid 1980's Europe has un122 dergone some fundamental and dramatic transformations, which include the creation of a Single Internal Market and other far reaching economic, political and social changes. The image of Europe that is touted is one of a harmony of differences, of integration, and equality. This integration and harmony is being achieved by allowing the 'logic' of the market to operate, and by engaging in a 'social partnership.' To date, focus has been on the positive aspects of integration, but a darker side exists beyond the rhetoric of a new unified and affluent Europe.

Watersheds are surface areas connected by a stream network creating an ecosystem of habitats and basic life-support systems. Holistic and inclusive, watersheds are natural and often neglected tools for cost-effective and sustainable riparian-riverine management. Past piecemeal and reactive approaches to our damaged riverine ecosystems have been ineffective, and in some cases have contributed to further degradation.

Managing Geographic Information Systems By Nancy J. Obermeyer And Jeffrey K. Pinto. G, Kendra Buntrock Barberena
The Geographical Bulletin
Managing Geographic Information Systems explores theoretical compo - nents of a Geographic Information Sys - tem (GIS) and how to manage them. The authors bel ieve that "previously pub - lished GIS books are instructional texts filled with unrelated case studies with lit - tle theoretical foundation ." They suggest that if the theory behind a GIS is known, it can be effectively applied. Their sec - ondary focus is to enable complete use of the full range of GIS tasks by average users by supplying some basic informa - tion about geographical analysis.
Political Geography (2nd Edition) By Martin Ira Glassner, Jamie M. Goodwin-White
Political Geography (2nd Edition) By Martin Ira Glassner, Jamie M. Goodwin-White
The Geographical Bulletin
Political Geography begins as all good geographies should, by situating what will follow temporally as well as spatially. "It is possible," Glassner begins, " . .. that many years from now historians will look back and judge that the twenty-first century . . . began during the period in which we are now living, roughly from the mid1980s to the mid-1990s." And even ifthis does not prove true, it is most certainly the case that the current period has witnessed substantial re-orientation of the relations between humans and political contexts of space. The spatial scale of human political geographies, it …

Charcoal Making: An Element Of Antiguan Folk Culture, Douglas Heffington
Charcoal Making: An Element Of Antiguan Folk Culture, Douglas Heffington
The Geographical Bulletin
Antigua, in the Caribbean Lesser Antilles, has a rich cultural history. The residuals of a monoculture agriculture involving sugar cane (Saccharum ssp.) cultivation are seen everywhere, including a large ethnic population of African descent. Blacks brought to the island as slave labor since the late 1600s have contributed significantly to Antiguan folk culture, including active participation in the cottage industry of charcoal making and the maintenance of the associated material culture. This paper is the documentation of a folk industry before it is lost to the inevitable encroachment of modernization.
Exploring Spatial Structure Effect On Modeling Spatial Interaction, Engdawork Desta
Exploring Spatial Structure Effect On Modeling Spatial Interaction, Engdawork Desta
The Geographical Bulletin
Measuring the relative importance of locations and accounting for the influence of spatial structure are important considerations in spatial interaction modeling. To determine the volume of attracted and/ or generated flows between interacting locations, different formulations of a gravity model are used. In a system of interaction space, whether it is origins, destinations or both, that should be appraised is still not resolved . The exercise in this paper employs various tracks of the gravity model to evaluate the influence of spatial structure on spatial interaction. The conclusion reached does not fully support the findings of similar previous works. The …
Marketing Distance-Decay And Highland Vegetable Production In Northern Thailand, Richard A. Crooker, Robert N. Martin
Marketing Distance-Decay And Highland Vegetable Production In Northern Thailand, Richard A. Crooker, Robert N. Martin
The Geographical Bulletin
This paper delineates the potential geographical range of vegetable production in Thailand's northern highlands and demonstrates the utility of marketing distance-decay analysis in rural studies. Hill tribes grow vegetables in northern Thailand as replacement cash crops for illegal opium. They produce more vegetables than local markets consume and the surplus is transported to a developing market in Bangkok. The distance-decay rate ofthis new market is treated as a function of transport costs. Isoline maps are used to analyze resulting marketing gradients of important vegetable cash crops. It appears that distance-decay does not inevitably prohibit marketing surplus vegetables in Bangkok. The …

Of Landscapes And Nightmares: The Geography Of Fictional Horror, Michelle K. Smith
The Geographical Bulletin
This paper examines the role of landscape, place, and setting in the horror genre. A brief history of horror is followed by an examination of the trends and changes that have occurred in horror literature over time. Explanations for these trends are offered. Two-hundred horror stories from 1895 to the present are categorized into the three basic genre subtypes (supernatural, psychological, or other), and their associated landscape settings are identified. The city has been and remains the most popular setting in horror fiction, followed by the small town setting, the rural setting, and the suburban setting. All are associated with …

Projections And Perceptions Editorial Comments: On The Pleasures Of Being A Geographer. James J. Parsons, James J. Parsons
The Geographical Bulletin
We often forget our good fortune at being "Geographers." As Carl Sauer once noted ours is not just another academic discipline. We have chosen it because it has special meaning to us, an important premise that does not always apply to those in other fields. For most of us it represents a compelling, almost mystical way of looking at linkages between ourselves and our supporting earth in particular places, regions, or environments. And we do what we do because we like it. Listen to the late Archie Carr, distinguished naturalist-biologist and world authority on turtles and tortoises: "A geographer is …
Continuing Discrimination In The Times Of Technology: Women, Work, Algorithms And Law In India, Sejal Chandak Ms
Continuing Discrimination In The Times Of Technology: Women, Work, Algorithms And Law In India, Sejal Chandak Ms
Indian Journal of Law and Technology
Human societies are discriminatory. So, it has been an unrelenting effort to eliminate what divides us. While there have been leapfrog developments in this regard, we need to consider newer challenges now that technology is taking over public and private spaces. The author, in this article, discusses gender-based algorithmic discrimination in workplaces and argues that there is an urgent need to enforce laws for regulating algorithmic discrimination. India is in a precarious position. It has been consistently faring poorly when it comes to the gender gap in work. It lacks a comprehensive and codified anti-discriminatory law; and lacks laws to …

Increasing Atmospheric Evaporative Demand Across The Tibetan Plateau And Implications For Surface Water Resources, Shiqin Xu, Dennis P. Lettenmaier, Tom R. Mcvicar, Pierre Gentine, Hylke E. Beck, Joshua B. Fisher, Zhongbo Yu, Ningpeng Dong, Akash Koppa, Matthew F. Mccabe
Increasing Atmospheric Evaporative Demand Across The Tibetan Plateau And Implications For Surface Water Resources, Shiqin Xu, Dennis P. Lettenmaier, Tom R. Mcvicar, Pierre Gentine, Hylke E. Beck, Joshua B. Fisher, Zhongbo Yu, Ningpeng Dong, Akash Koppa, Matthew F. Mccabe
Biology, Chemistry, and Environmental Sciences Faculty Articles and Research
The Tibetan Plateau, known as the “Asian water tower,” is a hotspot for complex hydroclimatic changes. We reveal that the previously decreasing atmospheric evaporative demand (Eo) trend at the end of the 20th century has reversed over the last two decades. Although both wind stilling and solar dimming have persisted, their effects on Eo rates have been overshadowed by increasing air temperatures and decreasing relative humidity, leading to a net rise in Eo for 1980−2015. Using the empirical “top-down” Budyko approach, we estimate that across seven sub-catchments draining the Tibetan Plateau, a 10% increase in annual-averaged …

Letter To The Church, Chris Brouillard-Coyle
Consensus
What is pastoral leadership? How is, and can, pastoral leadership be embodied in the Church today? Who can and should participate in reflections on these questions? While engaging in a course on pastoral leadership, with the support of the professor, an idea arose to write a letter to the Church following the patterns of the Epistles in the Bible. The goal was to create something that could be read and studied by anyone, while ensuring that the academic rigour behind the contents was made available via the footnotes. The letter is intentionally written in the style of the Epistles, and …
Determining Political Objectives, Milan Vego
Determining Political Objectives, Milan Vego
Joint Force Quarterly
This article explains how political objectives shape grand strategy and national or coalition security strategy and argues that they must be realistic, achievable, and clearly articulated before military options are developed. Political leaders bear primary responsibility for determining these objectives but should incorporate the professional advice of senior military leaders. The author outlines a process that begins with a strategic estimate, identification and prioritization of national interests, and assessment of the enemy, available resources, and political assumptions. Political objectives may be offensive or defensive and limited or unlimited in scope, with their value and ambition affecting the level of effort, …
Adopting A Data-Centric Mindset For Operational Planning, Jeremiah Hurley, Morgan Greene
Adopting A Data-Centric Mindset For Operational Planning, Jeremiah Hurley, Morgan Greene
Joint Force Quarterly
The Department of Defense is investing in advanced technologies to maintain a competitive military advantage, but realizing their full value requires a data-first approach to operational planning. Jeremiah Hurley and Morgan Greene argue that DOD must improve how it collects, organizes, integrates, and uses data so commanders and staffs can understand the operational environment and develop and execute courses of action faster than adversaries. The article critiques current planning processes that rely on static products such as PowerPoint slides, spreadsheets, and email, and recommends incorporating standardized data collection templates, plans, matrices, automated data pipelines, and dynamic visualizations into joint and …
Why Did The Lawyer Cross The Road? The Aba's Proposal To Overhaul Model Rule 5.5 And Permit Cross-Border Practice, Paula Frederick
Why Did The Lawyer Cross The Road? The Aba's Proposal To Overhaul Model Rule 5.5 And Permit Cross-Border Practice, Paula Frederick
Akron Law Review
The American Bar Association (ABA) is considering a proposal to amend Model Rule 5.5, which would allow lawyers licensed in any U.S. jurisdiction to practice law across state lines under specific conditions. This "driver's license" model aims to address current regulatory barriers by permitting lawyers to provide legal services nationwide, provided they disclose their home jurisdiction, comply with local rules, and meet certain ethical standards. Motivated by the pandemic, technological changes, and the uniform bar exam, the proposal seeks to improve access to legal services, reduce regulatory burdens, and offer clients greater choice of counsel, though it faces potential challenges …
Forecasting The Volatility Of Energy Transition Metals, Andrea Bastianin, Xiao Li, Ahmad Luqman Shamsudin
Forecasting The Volatility Of Energy Transition Metals, Andrea Bastianin, Xiao Li, Ahmad Luqman Shamsudin
Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei Working Papers
The transition to a cleaner energy mix, essential for achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, will significantly increase demand for metals critical to renewable energy technologies. Energy Transition Metals (ETMs), including copper, lithium, nickel, cobalt, and rare earth elements, are indispensable for renewable energy generation and the electrification of global economies. However, their markets are characterized by high price volatility due to supply concentration, low substitutability, and limited price elasticity. This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the price volatility of ETMs, a subset of Critical Raw Materials (CRMs). Using a combination of exploratory data analysis, data reduction, and …
