A clustering-based approached to analyze impacts of digital divide on undercounting issues in census in Florida
According to the US Census Bureau 2020 data, Florida is one of the six states where the population was undercounted. The census in the US is conducted every ten years and plays a pivotal role in shaping government representation, resource allocation, policy making and federal assistance distribution. Consequently, undercounting of population impacts demographic equality, potentially leading to inequitable distribution of resources. The state of Florida will lose billions of dollars by the end of the decade due to this undercounting issue. So, it is an important task to find the proper reason and sources of undercounting in Florida. The US Census Bureau provides a state estimate of undercounting from the post enumeration survey, but not county specific. By gaining insight into the ramifications of this impact, in our previous research we generated a methodology to measure the undercounting index for Florida specific data at county level. Based on the methodology and analysis of the undercount, we found the access of digital technology and internet is one of the key parameters influencing the undercount problem as the 2020 census conducted fully online. The accessibility of the internet falls under a social dimension called digital divide. We anticipate in 2030 the US Census Bureau will continue to rely on the internet as the primary mode of data collection. Thus, studying the impact of digital divide on undercount in Florida is of utmost importance. To conduct a data driven investigation, in this research we followed the design science research methodology. We analyzed the correlations and the clustered groups that are affected by digital divide and undercounting of population. This research\u27s findings would be beneficial for non-profit organizations working on socio-economic issues
The joint effects of cognitive function and sedentary time on mortality risk in older adults: 2011-2014 NHANES
Background: Examining the joint effects of cognitive function (CF) and sedentary time (ST) may provide insight into the complex mechanisms underlying mortality risk within older adults. This study examines the joint effects of CF and ST on mortality risk in older adults.
Methods: Sample included 2,230 older adults (≥ 60 years of age) participants in the 2011-2014 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. The Digit Symbol Substitution Test (DSST), Consortium to Establish a Registry for Alzheimer\u27s Disease (CERAD) subtests, and Animal Fluency (AF) were used to assess CF. Average daily sitting and television time represented ST. Quartiles of CF and ST were combined for analysis.
Results: Significant (p \u3c 0.05) increases in mortality risk for participants in the lowest quartile of CF and highest quartile of ST. A 2.8, 3.9, 2.8, and 2.5-fold increased risk for all-cause mortality for the DSST, CERAD-IL, CERAD-DL, and AF test, respectively, were observed. Our analysis also revealed a 3.8, 3.2, 3.5, and 2.7-fold increased risk for cardiovascular disease-related mortality for the DSST, CERAD-IL, CERAD-DL, and AF test, respectively
Conclusion: The combination of CF scores with ST has been shown to be strongly associated with increased risks of both all-cause and cardiovascular disease-related mortality

Contextualizing AI in Higher Ed: Understanding the Tools and Their Impact
This event is interactive conversation for faculty who are new to exploring artificial intelligence (AI) and its impact on the higher education setting. We will briefly discuss the implications that the various types of AI, including machine learning and natural language processing are having on how faculty and students are working in a university setting. Then we will demonstrate a few AI tools. After these demonstrations, we’ll move into our discussion and question and answer period.https://digitalcommons.unf.edu/ofe_multimedia/1000/thumbnail.jp
