Use of Crash Data Repositories: Combining Digital Tools with Analog Built Environment Assessments to Promote Physical Activity
No full textAmong promising instruments and evaluation systems for neighborhood development are digital crash data repositories including the UConn Connecticut Crash Data Repository (CTCDR) combined with Built Environment (BE) assessments and walkability audits (WA). Users of these tools include transportation authorities, community planners, and community-centered commissions established to promote safety and physical activity. The Norwalk Bike Walk Commission (NBWC) was created in 2017 to promote walking, biking, and related BE policies in Norwalk, Connecticut (CT). NBWC projects include compliance with the Complete Streets Law, and bicycle/pedestrian plans for Norwalk. The NBWC works directly with city officials associated with transportation and city planning. A top priority of the NBWC is to examine high-risk areas of pedestrian and bike fatalities and injuries in the city using digital and analog tools as well as identifying ways to merge the information gained from these distinct tools. The CTCDR was created in 2015 to permit public access to all crash data in CT. By identifying the highest risk areas of a community (Norwalk), future projects of the NBWC can be prioritized and coordinated. The CTCDR was used to generate broad and specific data in CT that involve pedestrians and bicycles. The number, type, and severity of crashes were specified. Subsequently, the specific locations of these crashes are identified. Specific locations were further assessed using Google Maps combined with BE and WA tools. In aggregate, these details identify high-risk and high-priority areas. In Norwalk, there are an average of 43 crashes involving pedestrians and 16 related to cyclists per year. Specific locations were identified and assessed using BE and WA tools. Combined approaches identified the highest priority locations. Combining digital and analog tools may optimize built environment policies and promote physical activity in communities

Economic Policy Uncertainty and Its Impact on Unemployment Rates Among U.S. Ethnic Groups
Get PDFThe study aims to investigate the transmission of Economic Policy Uncertainty (EPU) shocks on unemployment rates across different ethnic groups in the United States. The research employs econometric analysis such as regression modeling to determine the relationship between EPU and unemployment rates among African American, Hispanic or Latino American, and White American communities. The study estimates coefficient estimates for the lagged change in EPU and its impact on respective unemployment rates for each ethnic group. This shows that there are statistically significant positive relationships between EPU shocks and unemployment rates across all ethnic groups. An increase in EPU leads to a corresponding change in unemployment rates. There is a particularly pronounced impact of EPU shocks on unemployment rates among African and Hispanic American ethnic groups

Morphologically Defined Substages of Tail Morphogenesis in C. Elegans Males
No full textBackground Sex-specific morphogenesis occurs in C. elegans in the vulva of the hermaphrodite and in the male tail during the last larval stage. Temporal progression of vulva morphogenesis has been described in fine detail. However, a similar precise description of male tail morphogenesis was lacking. Results We here describe morphogenesis of the male tail at time points matching vulva development with special focus on morphogenesis of the tail tip. Using fluorescent reporters, we follow changes in cell shapes, cell fusions, nuclear migration, modifications in the basement membrane and formation of a new apical extracellular matrix at the end of the tail. Conclusion Our analysis answers two open questions about tail tip morphogenesis (TTM) by showing that one of the four tail tip cells, hyp11, remains separate while the other cells fuse with each other and with two additional tail cells to form a ventral tail syncytium. This fusion begins early during TTM but is only completed towards the end of the process. This work provides a framework for future investigations of cell-biological factors that drive male tail morpogenesis

Cultivating an Evidence-Based Decision-Making Mindset
No full textThis is the first article in a new series designed to provide readers with insight into educating nurses about evidence-based decision-making. It builds on AJN\u27s award-winning previous series-Evidence-Based Practice, Step by Step and EBP 2.0: Implementing and Sustaining Change (to access both series, go to http://links.lww.com/AJN/A133). This follow-up series will address how to teach and facilitate learning about the evidence-based practice (EBP) and quality improvement (QI) processes and how they impact health care quality. This series is relevant for all nurses interested in EBP and QI, especially DNP faculty and students. The brief case scenario included in each article describes one DNP student\u27s journey
