Dental Remains of Pachyportax (Bovidae) from Late Miocene Deposits of Jhelum, Punjab, Pakistan
Get PDFThe upper Dhok Pathan Formation is characterized to newly found Pachyportax fossils from Late Miocene outcrops in the Hasnot region. The discovered dental remains of Pachyportax include upper and lower molars. Based on morphometry, the examined tooth material was identified, and the specimens were categorized as Pachyportax latidens and Pachyportax nagri. A well-known example is Pachyportax latidens, but Pachyportax nagrii stands out due to its rare fossil record from the middle Siwaliks. Potwar Pleateu is the most productive region for the deposition of vertebrate fossils (Pilbeam et al., 1979; Badgley et al., 2008). Bovids in open environments are representative of the Late Miocene and Early Pliocene of the Siwalik Group. They live in warm, humid, densely forested woodland areas with few fluctuations in the seasons
Trust, Risk, Privacy and Security in e-Government Use: Insights from a MASEM Analysis
Get PDFDespite considerable research on the factors influencing the use of e-government, citizens are apprehensive of e-government services due to the concerns primarily related to trust, risk, security and privacy. This study presents a meta-analytic structural equation modeling (MASEM) analysis of the findings reported by 68 prior empirical studies on e-government adoption. Specifically, the model examined the direct effects of trust in government, trust in internet, perceived risk, and perceived privacy and security on e-government trust, and its impact on users’ behavioral intention to use e-government. The findings bear significant theoretical and practical implications
Filling Out Iraq’s Federation: A Bottom-Up Approach to Challenging the Muhasasa
No full textThe consensus among many western scholars and the Iraqi protest movement is that almost all of the country’s most serious problems are attributable to a political system (\u27muhasasa ta’ifia\u27) that allocates positions of political power on the basis of ethnicity and sect. The system was created by elites, and is sustained and manipulated by these same elites for personal gain; but while critiques of the system are ubiquitous, feasible proposals for changing it are thin on the ground. The assumption that the \u27muhasasa\u27 is a top-down imposition logically leads protestors to focus attention on effecting change in Baghdad, but direct challenges to the system are unlikely to succeed. The argument here is that a bottom-up approach that starts with empowering governorates is the more viable strategy
The Transformative Power of Action Research
No full textThis issue of Educational Action Research includes nine articles that help to realize the real and transformative power of action research and demonstrate the interconnectedness of transformative processes in inquiry, teaching, and learning. As researchers and practitioners, we understand that through our action research practice, we can capture and share the power and potential of individuals, teams, and communities to make meaningful change (Brydon‐Miller and Maguire Citation2009). As an action researcher and an educator, these articles strike me as powerful in stressing the importance of participatory researchers working with participants and helping them recognize their roles as agents of change
Path-Safe: Enabling Dynamic Mandatory Access Controls Using Security Tokens
No full textDeploying Mandatory Access Controls (MAC) is a promising way to provide host protection against malware. Unfortunately, current implementations lack the flexibility to adapt to emergent malware threats and are known for being difficult to configure. To address this limitation, we have devised a MAC method that leverages using encrypted security tokens to allow for redeploying policy configurations in real-time without the need to stop a running process. This work also develops Path-Safe, a MAC security system that focuses on protecting filesystem access from unauthorized processes and malware. We show that our security system can mitigate real-world malware threats with low overhead and high accuracy
Lingering Impact of COVID-19, Preventive Care Considerations, and US Health System Challenges
No full textThis issue includes articles on the lingering impact of COVID-19, often negative but occasionally positive, on patients, treatment, practices, and health care personnel. Other articles inform on prevention, such as awareness of lung cancer screening among women undergoing screening mammography; failures on sports preparticipation physicals; advance care planning as prevention; and screening for social risk factors. Another article reports on patient experiences of legal recreational cannabis in Washington State. There is a review of perinatal depression recognition and treatment. Two articles separately identify the difficulties of the congressionally created Medicare Advantage & Pharmaceutical Benefit Managers
Differences in Internalized HIV Stigma Across Subpopulations of People With HIV in Care Across the United States
No full textBackground: Few studies have examined which subgroups of people with HIV (PWH) carry the greatest burden of internalized HIV stigma (IHS), which may be important to care provision and interventions. Methods: PWH in the CFAR Network of Integrated Clinical Systems (CNICS) longitudinal, US-based, multisite, clinical care cohort completed tablet-based assessments during clinic visits including a four-item, Likert scale (low 1-5 high), IHS instrument. Associations between sociodemographic characteristics and IHS scores were assessed in adjusted linear regression models. Results: Twelve thousand six hundred and fifty-six PWH completed the IHS assessment at least once from February 2016 to November 2022, providing 28 559 IHS assessments. At baseline IHS assessment, the mean age was 49 years, 41% reported White, 38% Black/African American, and 16% Latine race/ethnicity, and 80% were cisgender men. The mean IHS score was 2.04, with all subgroups represented among those endorsing IHS. In regression analyses, younger PWH and those in care fewer years had higher IHS scores. In addition, cisgender women vs. cisgender men, PWH residing in the West vs. the Southeast, and those with sexual identities other than gay/lesbian had higher IHS scores. Compared with White-identifying PWH, those who identified with Black/African American or Latine race/ethnicity had lower IHS scores. Age stratification revealed patterns related to age category, including specific age-related differences by gender, geographic region and race/ethnicity. Discussion: IHS is prevalent among PWH, with differential burden by subgroups of PWH. These findings highlight the benefits of routine screening for IHS and suggest the need for targeting/tailoring interventions to reduce IHS among PWH
