These pages conclude the Census and Bibliography of Medieval Manuscripts Containing Apocalypse Illustrations begun in Traditio 40 (1984) 337–379 and continued in Traditio 41 (1985) 367–409. They contain the descriptions of nine groups of manuscripts. Three of these groups comprise illustrated Apocalypses: Alexander Minorita Apocalypses (nos. 118–122), Later German Apocalypses (nos. 123–132), and Miscellaneous Apocalypses (133–137). The remaining six groups comprise manuscripts that, although not illustrated Apocalypses, contain five or more illustrations of the Apocalypse: Miscellaneous Bibles (nos. 138–145), Liber Floridus manuscripts (nos. 146–152), Moralized Bibles (nos. 153–158), Historiated Bibles (nos. 159–167), Books of Hours (nos. 168–170), and Miscellaneous Manuscripts (nos. 171–172) R. Emmerson would like to thank Peter Klein for his helpful suggestions. Recognizing that, despite our best efforts, this Census and Bibliography may include some errors and omissions, the authors would be grateful to receive corrections and additions for a future edition.

ABSTRACT We present a comprehensive census of X-ray millisecond pulsars (MSPs) in 29 Galactic globular clusters (GCs), including 68 MSPs with confirmed X-ray luminosities and 107 MSPs with X-ray upper limits. We compile previous X-ray studies of GC MSPs, and add new analyses of six MSPs (PSRs J1326–4728A, J1326–4728B, J1518+0204C, J1717+4308A, J1737–0314A, and J1807–2459A) discovered in five GCs. Their X-ray spectra are well described by a single blackbody model, a single power-law model, or a combination of them, with X-ray luminosities ranging from 1.9 × 1030to 8.3 × 1031 erg s−1. We find that most detected X-ray MSPs have luminosities between ∼1030 and 3 × 1031 erg s−1. Redback pulsars are a relatively bright MSP population with X-ray luminosities of ∼2 × 1031–3 × 1032 erg s−1. Black widows show a bimodal distribution in X-ray luminosities, with eclipsing black widows between ∼7 × 1030 and 2 × 1031 erg s−1, while the two confirmed non-eclipsing black widows are much fainter, with LX of 1.5–3 × 1030 erg s−1, suggesting an intrinsic difference in the populations. We estimate the total number of MSPs in 36 GCs by considering the correlation between the number of MSPs and stellar encounter rate in GCs, and suggest that between 600 and 1500 MSPs exist in these 36 GCs. Finally, we estimate the number of X-ray-detectable MSPs in the Galactic bulge, finding that 1–86 MSPs with LX > 1033 erg s−1, and 20–900 MSPs with LX > 1032 erg s−1 should be detectable there.

This paper aims to enhance the understanding of the littoralization process in mainland Portugal over a broad chronological framework. Littoralization is defined as the occupation and settlement of human communities along the coast. In this case, the analysis was based on the synchronic analysis of three chronologies: from the formation of Portugal to the settlement of the fountains (1096–1325); at the dawn of modernity, marked by the Portuguese expansion (1500–1524), with the first scientific census (1860); and in the present, with data from the last census (2021). The choice of chronology was dictated by the historical sources available and allowed us to check the trend of population dispersion both in terms of latitude and longitude, the latter being the analysis of the distance of the main population centers (counties) from the coast. In the first chronological segment, there is a “safety distance” from the exposed coastlines, which is gradually blurred over time until there is an impressive coastal demographic concentration in 2021, with around 80% of people settled within 50 km of the sea. So, the management of Portugal’s territory is an unequivocal indicator of the Anthropocene even with the risks of the disappearance of some beaches.

AbstractA new set of deep float trajectory data collected in the Gulf of Mexico from 2011 to 2015 at 1500- and 2500-m depths is analyzed to describe mesoscale processes, with particular attention paid to the western Gulf. Wavelet analysis is used to identify coherent eddies in the float trajectories, leading to a census of the basinwide coherent eddy population and statistics of the eddies’ kinematic properties. The eddy census reveals a new formation region for anticyclones off the Campeche Escarpment, located northwest of the Yucatan Peninsula. These eddies appear to form locally, with no apparent direct connection to the upper layer. Once formed, the eddies drift westward along the northern edge of the Sigsbee Abyssal Gyre, located in the southwestern Gulf of Mexico over the abyssal plain. The formation mechanism and upstream sources for the Campeche Escarpment eddies are explored: the observational data suggest that eddy formation may be linked to the collision of a Loop Current eddy with the western boundary of the Gulf. Specifically, the disintegration of a deep dipole traveling under the Loop Current eddy Kraken, caused by the interaction with the northwestern continental slope, may lead to the acceleration of the abyssal gyre and the boundary current in the Bay of Campeche region.

Biratnagar is a medical referral centre with tertiary health care in Eastern Nepal. The city population is 202,061, according to the 2011 census. There are 35 Health Care Facilities (HCFs) in the city as of 2014. There are 7 HCFs, 2 non-governmental HCFs, and 26 private HCFs. In 2014, the District Public Health Office Morang, the Biratnagar municipality, and the private sector collaborated to check Biratnagar's health care waste management. Investigators performed a semi-structured questionnaire and checklists while visiting health care sites. According to the survey results, 10% of HCFs use incinerators. 80% of HCFs separate their garbage, 60% use needle destroyer machines, and 50% use coloured dustbins to separate different sorts of medical waste. The bed occupancy rate is 78%. Every day, one sweeper looks for 6.66 beds. Even 10% of HCFs let their waste out in the open. HCFs do not have enough capacity for waste disposal facilities. Thus, HCFs pay the municipality Rs. 1500- 15000 a month to have the facility's waste removed. In the municipality tractor, they are hauling medical garbage and home rubbish. As a result, the city discharges health care waste with household waste in the Singhiaya River. These actions endanger public health. Biratnagar city generates 118 Kgs of hazardous health care waste daily, necessitating immediate treatment. Biratnagar Municipality should collaborate with partners to develop a short and long-term strategy.

Is there a relationship between the frequency of regional natural disasters and long-term human-capital accumulation? This article investigates the long-run causality between natural calamities and human-capital accumulation with macro and micro data. Empirical cross-county analysis demonstrates that higher frequencies of natural calamities are correlated with higher rates of human-capital accumulation. Specifically, on the basis of empirical data of the fifth census in 2000 and China’s Labor-Force Dynamics Survey in 2012, this paper exploits the two databases to infer that the high disaster frequency in the years of 1500–2000 was likely to increase regional human-capital accumulation on district level. High natural-calamity frequency reduces the expected rate of returning to physical capital, which also serves to increase human-capital. Thus, experiencing with natural disasters would influence human’s preference to human-capital investment instead of physical capital.

Disparity is inversely proportional to depth. Informationabout depth is a key factor in many real time applicationslikecomputer vision applications, medical diagnosis, model precision etc. Disparity is measured first in order to calculate the depth that suitsthe real world applications. There are two approaches viz., active and passive methods. Due to its cost effectiveness, passive approach is the most popular approach. In spite of this, the measures arelimited by its occlusion, more number of objects and texture areas. So, effective and efficient stereo depth estimation algorithms have taken the toll on the researchers. Theimportant goal of stereo vision algorithms is the disparity map calculation between twoimages clicked the same time. These pictures are taken using two cameras. We have implemented the non-parametric algorithmsfor stereo vision viz., Rank and Census transform in both single processor and multicore processors are implemented andthe results showsits time efficient by 1500 times.

Much of the established literature on agricultural cooperatives describes their myriad contributions to farmers’ economic performance. In Brazil, one of the world’s leading agricultural exporters, there were more than 1500 agricultural cooperatives with 1 million members in 2020, and in 2017, 11% of all Brazilian farms were associated with one of these cooperatives. In this paper, we estimate the factors associated with the municipality share of cooperative membership (MSCM) and how municipality-level production value changes with MSCM. Our analysis is at the municipality level using aggregate data from the 2017 Agricultural Census. We find that in Brazil, higher education and smaller property sizes are associated with membership in agricultural cooperatives. To estimate how MSCM is associated with farm profits, we use a generalized propensity score and find that an increase in MSCM increases net municipal farm income, driven mostly by an increase in the value of agricultural production compared to a smaller increase in the cost of production.

BackgroundThere are more people registered with a general practice in England than are estimated to be resident in the country. The reasons behind this are not fully understood. We investigated the levels of over-registration (or under-registration) in English primary care, their regional variability and their association with population and geographical characteristics.MethodsThis was a cross-sectional study using mid-year population estimates for 2014 and general practice populations for the same year. We calculated levels of patient registration with English primary care, in relation to census-derived population estimates, at various geographical levels of interest: regions, clinical commissioning groups and lower super output areas (LSOAs, 2011 census derived geographical areas of 1500 people on average). We used linear regressions to investigate the relationship between levels of registration and area deprivation, urbanicity, ethnicity, age, sex and mean distance to practice.ResultsThe total over-registration rate for England was 3.9% (2 097 101 people) but there was wide regional variability. London had significantly higher levels of over-registration (6.0% and 515 063 people) than other areas in England. Higher levels of over-registration at the LSOA level were associated with greater proportions of non-White British residents, women, elderly people and higher levels of social deprivation.ConclusionOur findings indicate that high mobility and health need may be the underlying causes of over-registrations. The regional variation in over-registration, with London being an outlier, points towards potential inequalities in resourcing of primary care and the ability of the National Health Service to adequately match funding to population need.

Introduction Chronic venous disease (CVD) is a common disease all over the world, mainly in Western Europe and the USA. Aim To evaluate the prevalence of CVD in the Greek general population and the characteristics of CVD. Materials and methods The study sample included 1500 individuals, 15–64 years of age, who were citizens of Athens, Thessaloniki, or one of five Greek cities with more than 10,000 in the population. The sample was selected by a stratified, multistage, random sampling procedure based on the Greek Census 2001. Questionnaires were completed for each individual by personal interview. Results From 1500 individuals, 224 (14.9%) had symptoms and/or signs of CVD, 9.6% were men and 20.1% were women. The highest percentage of presenting CVD symptoms was among 45–54-year-olds (23.4%) and 55–64-year-olds (27%). The symptoms that were mostly mentioned among sufferers were 58% achy legs, 37.4% swollen legs and 25.3% heavy legs, whereas the frequent signs were broken capillaries – telangiectasia (19.2%) and varicose veins (14.8%). About 62.9% with CVD had an obese body mass index (BMI > 25). The prevalence of CVD in patients with prolonged standing hours at work (4+ hours) was 20.8%. The symptoms of CVD were worse during the summer period only in 26.8% of the patients whereas in 50.8% during all the year. Regarding quality of life, more than 40% of the patients had either health or cosmetic problems. Sufferers mentioned that they took first advice from physicians (28%), or from friends and relatives (27%) or from pharmacists (26%). Conclusion This is a real whole-population study of Greece – a Mediterranean country that provides important and remarkable data on the epidemiology of CVD and highlights that we need improvement of relations within the triangle constituted by physicians, patients and disease.

The endemic Fraser fir (Abies fraseri (Pursh) Poir.) is found in only seven montane regions in the southern Appalachians above ca. 1500 m elevation. Due to widespread insect-caused mortality from the invasive balsam woolly adelgid (Adelges piceae Ratzeburg), as well as possible impacts from climate change and atmospheric pollution, the future of Fraser fir populations remains uncertain. Long-term monitoring programs have been in place since the 1980s, and here we present the first predictive population models for endemic Fraser fir populations using the inventory data from Great Smoky Mountains National Park, which contains 74% of extant Fraser fir forests. Using two kinds of population data (understory density counts and overstory census data), we model Fraser fir population dynamics on five different mountaintops as a stage-structured matrix model with transition parameters estimated using hierarchical Bayesian inference. We predict robust recovery over the next several decades for some Fraser fir populations, particularly where mature overstory fir has persisted throughout the last two decades, and continued decline for populations at the lowest elevations. Fraser fir densities are already low at these lower elevations, suggesting that this population is vulnerable to local extirpation.

This study is aimed at determining the revenue, efficiency and marketing of watermelon (Citrullus vulgaris) farming in Kampung Tempuran, Trimurjo District, Central Lampung District, Lampung Province with a total of 27 respondents who were selected by using census method. Revenue is obtained bydeducting the total income by the total cost, efficiency is the ratio (ratio) between income and total cost. Watermelon marketing is analysed by identifying marketing channel from the producer to the end consumer and by estimating the marketing margin of watermelon on each marketing channel. Marketing margin is estimated by subtracting the selling price with buying price. The results showed that the average farm income of at Rp.237.506.694/Ut/MT watermelon or watermelon farm efficiency Rp.34.852.801/Ha/MT. Revenue Cost Ratio is obtained 3.81meaning that melon farming is efficient or profitable. There are three marketing channels. Based on one of marketing channels studied, it is found that marketing margin of watermelon from farmers as producers to wholesalers s is Rp. 784/Kg. From the wholesaler to the retailer, the marketing margin is Rp. 1500, - / Kg.Keywords: farm income, efficiency, marketing channels, marketing margins.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the satisfaction with, and the feasibility and effectiveness of, a public health detailing project focused on increasing routine human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) screening of people aged 13-64 by primary care providers working in areas of Baltimore City, Maryland, with high rates of HIV transmission (defined as a mean geometric viral load of ≥1500 copies/mL per census tract). In public health detailing, trained public health professionals (ie, detailers) visit medical practice sites to meet with providers and site staff members, with the intention of influencing changes in clinical practice policy and/or behavior. During 2014, detailers made personal visits and gave HIV Testing Action Kits containing maps, educational and guideline documents, and resource lists to 166 providers and office managers at 85 primary care sites. At follow-up, 88 of 91 (96.7%) providers and 37 of 38 (97.4%) clinic managers were very satisfied or satisfied with the project. Of the 79 sites eligible at follow-up (ie, those that had not closed or merged with another practice), 76 (96.2%) had accepted at least 1 HIV Testing Action Kit, and 67 of 90 (74.4%) providers had increased their HIV screening. Public health detailing projects can be used to educate and support providers, establish relationships between providers and local health departments, and disseminate public health messages.

Introduction: Until recently, vancomycin-resistant enterococcus (VRE) infection or colonisation was a rare occurrence in Singapore. The first major VRE outbreak involving a 1500-bed tertiary care institution in March 2005 presented major challenges in infection control and came at high costs. This study evaluates the predictors of VRE carriage based on patients’ clinical and demographic profiles. Materials and Methods: Study patients were selected from the hospital inpatient census population during the VRE outbreak (aged 16 years or more). Clinical information from 84 cases and 377 controls were analysed. Results: Significant predictors of VRE carriage included: age >65 years [Odds ratio (OR), 1.98; 95% CI (confidence interval), 1.14 to 3.43); female gender (OR, 2.15; 95% CI, 1.27 to 3.65); history of diabetes mellitus (OR, 1.94; 95% CI, 1.14 to 3.30), and staying in a crowded communal ward (OR, 2.75; 95% CI, 1.60 to 4.74). Each additional day of recent hospital stay also posed increased risk (OR, 1.03; 95% CI, 1.01 to 1.04). Conclusion: Elderly diabetic females with prolonged hospitalisation in crowded communal wards formed the profile that significantly predicted VRE carriage in this major hospital-wide outbreak of VRE in Singapore. It is imperative that active VRE surveillance and appropriate infection control measures be maintained in these wards to prevent future VRE outbreaks.

Background and Objectives: Neutropenia is the absolute count of neutrophils less than 1500 per cubic millimeter. Because the early detection of the cause of neutropenia and appropriate measures to reduce its mortality and financial costs are important, this study was conducted to investigate the relationship between the cause of neutropenia and the severity of neutropenia with clinical and laboratory findings to take appropriate measures. Subjects and Methods This study was a cross-sectional descriptive-analytical study. In this study, 111 patients with neutropenia were studied in Hazrat Masoumeh Hospital in Qom City, Iran, by a census method in 3 years from 2014 to 2016. Necessary information was obtained from the patients' medical records through a questionnaire. Data were analyzed by SPSS software. Results The study findings showed relationships between the cause of the disease and variables of age (P= 0.007), the severity of neutropenia (P<0.001), disease outcome (P<0.001), length of hospital stay (P<0.001), Hb (P<0.001), and WBC (P<0.001). The causes of neutropenia in the studied patients were viral (54.1%), sepsis (24.3%), malignancy (10.8%), anemia (4.5%), idiopathic (3.6%) and ITP (2.7%). Conclusion The present study showed a significant relationship between demographic and laboratory findings with the cause and severity of the disease. Therefore, considering these factors at the beginning of hospitalization can play a crucial role in promoting proper management in the treatment of patients with neutropenia.

Lack of or poor public participation in politics, policy discussions, and the ability to demand accountability of the government is a major deficit of democracy in Kenya. The general objective of the study was to analyse the influence of community participation on economic development projects in the Kajiado West sub-county, Kenya. The variables of interest were to examine the influence of community participation in project planning, project implementation, project monitoring and evaluation, and project coordination on economic development projects. The research methodology was mixed triangulation research which involved the use of both qualitative and quantitative approaches in data collection, analysis, and data interpretation. The study adopted a descriptive research design to allow the collection of comprehensive data. The target population was 1500 participants out of the entire population of the Kajiado West sub-county, which was approximately 104,376 people as per the 2009 population census. The sample size was 150 respondents from five wards. The collection of data was carried out using questionnaires and interview schedules. Questionnaires were circulated to traders, village elders, religious leaders, and farmers, while structured interviews were conducted with MCAs, chiefs, and assistant chiefs. The qualitative data was analysed using content analysis, while the quantitative data was analysed using both descriptive and inferential statistics. The descriptive statistics entailed mean, standard deviation, and frequencies, while the inferential statistics entailed the person correlation and regression analysis. The study found that community participation in project planning, project implementation, project monitoring and evaluation, and project coordination on economic development projects were positively and significantly associated.

The history of the European native oyster has been documented for numerous countries within its natural range. However, the history of Ostrea edulis in Wales remains conspicuously absent from current UK and European peer-reviewed publications. It was therefore deemed necessary to address this and as a result in-depth research of archival data was conducted including local trade directories, decennial census returns, collections from the National Museum Wales, annual government fisheries reports and grey literature from local historical societies. These historical reviews resulted in the construction of a timeline which documents all the significant historical dates related to O. edulis in Wales from the early 1500 s to present day. Fisheries statistics for England and Wales were also analysed for the western regional oyster fisheries in an attempt to understand the contribution which the Welsh landings made to the region. The review revealed that the Welsh fishery was the primary contributor of regional landings from the early 1600 s with maximum landings reported 1894, with the oyster beds at Mumbles producing more oysters than any other port until the fishery closed in 1937. A commercial native oyster fishery no longer exists in Wales but there remains a small native oyster population in South Wales. It is hoped that the historical accounts of bountiful catches, overexploitation, and restoration of O. edulis over the centuries in Wales may offer current conservation practitioners an insight into failures and mistakes of the past which could benefit the future of the European flat oyster in Wales.

Apple production largely depend upon the orchard management. High hill of Nepal has great potentiality for apple production. Quality products are pre-requisite of today’s market. Quality product is only maintained through proper orchard management by adopting modern technology. This study focused on the determinants of adoption of Bordeaux paste and mixture by apple growers. A census survey was conducted to total 1500 apple growing farmers of Chandannath Municipality (1-10), Jumla in 2021 and interviewed individually with pre-tested structured interview schedules. Chandannath Municipality being the command area of Apple Super-Zone, Prime-minister Agriculture Modernization Project (PMAMP) having potential producing center was selected for study. The collected information was coded and analyzed by using STATA. The data were analyzed by using descriptive statistics and Probit Model of regression. Good explanatory power of probit model was revealed through likelihood ratio chi-square (LR chi2) was statistically significance at 1% level and pseudo R2 value was 0.6618. Variables such as gender, economic status of farmers, training received, experienced of farmers and availability of plant protection equipment were found statistically significant and are positively related to adoption. Others factors such as age of farmers and education status of farmers were positively correlated with adoption whereas factors such as active members of family, access to credit, farm size, family type and distance form extension services were found negatively related with the adoption of Bordeaux paste and mixture and statistically not significant. Providing subsidies to marginalized farmers, provision of training and extension service to rural farmers would increase adoption of Bordeaux paste and mixture for healthy apple production.

Abstract Background: Despite the existence of well-established clinical prognostic indices for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and follicular lymphoma (FL), the 2 most common subtypes of NHL, significant heterogeneity in survival remains even within prognostic groups. SES has not previously been evaluated as a prognostic factor for NHL, particularly using an unselected patient population. We therefore used the large multiethnic CCR to examine NHL survival according to histology, race/ethnicity and neighborhood SES. Methods: NHL pts were identified from the CCR for the period 1988–97 using standardized ICD-0-3 classifications (morphology codes 9690–99 for FL & 9680–84 for DLBCL). Patients with evidence of HIV/AIDS were excluded. Neighborhood SES was assigned based on the address of residence at diagnosis, according to 1990 US Census Bureau census block group (each block contains about 1500 residents), and is based upon principal components of 7 indicator variables of SES (education level, proportion with blue collar job, proportion unemployed, median household income, proportion below 200% of poverty line, median rent & median home value). Using this index, we assigned each patient into an SES quintile (SES-1 lowest, SES-5 highest) based on the statewide distribution of neighborhood SES. We computed 5-year relative survival ± standard error (SE) with SEER*Stat software using customized race and SES-specific life tables based on US Census Bureau estimates for California residents. Results: Unselected DLBCL pts [n=13,604; comprising 73% non-Hispanic White (W), 4% Black (B), 14% Hispanic (H), 8% Asian/Pacific Islander (A)] & FL pts (n=7372; 82% W, 3% B, 11% H, 4% A) were identified. The overall 5 yr relative survival for DLBCL was 45.5% (SE 0.5) and for FL was 71.1% (SE 0.6); females had a better survival than males for DLBCL [F 48.3% (SE 0.7) vs. M 42.3% (SE 0.6)] but not for FL. Lower SES was associated with inferior survival for both DLBCL & FL (Table 1). Within SES groups there were not significant racial/ethnic differences in survival. However, in DLBCL, B (34%) and H (33%) pts were proportionally more likely to be in SES-1 than W (9%) or A pts (15%), and less likely to be in SES-5 (9% B, 10% H) than W (27%) or A (22%) pts. Similarly, in FL, B (39%) & H (26%) pts were also more likely than W (8%) & A (10%) pts to be in SES-1 and less likely to be in SES-5 (W-29%, A-32%, B-10%, H-11%). Conclusion: SES predicts survival in DLBCL and FL. Race/ethnicity differences in SES distribution are apparent in NHL patients, but when stratified by SES, race/ethnicity does not appear to predict for significant differences in NHL survival. 5 Year Relative Survival in DLBCL & FL by SES & Race SES-1 (%) SE (%) n SES-5 (%) SE (%) n W-non-Hispanic White; A-Asian/Pacific Islander; B-Black; H-Hispanic DLBCL 40.6 1.3 1905 49.4 1.0 3192 W 38.4 1.9 915 49.4 1.1 2701 A 44.0 4.2 168 48.2 3.5 244 B 45.0 4.2 185 54.3 7.3 51 H 41.6 2.1 637 48.9 4.0 196 FL 66.4 2.1 823 76.6 1.2 1959 W 66.3 2.7 502 77.1 1.2 1753 A 65.4 10.0 30 72.0 5.0 93 B 69.1 6.5 85 76.1 10.0 22 H 65.9 3.8 206 71.8 5.4 91

Abstract Abstract 1954 Poster Board I-977 Introduction: Despite advances in treatment and a well-characterized prognostic index, significant heterogeneity remains in DLBCL survival. Preliminary data suggest a potential survival disparity based on race/ethnicity or socioeconomic status (SES). To evaluate the impact of these and other variables on survival we performed an analysis in the ethnically diverse population-based California Cancer Registry (CCR). We utilized Neighborhood SES, an index of 7 census measures of education, income, occupation & cost of living, based on the residential census-block group at diagnosis. Each census-block group comprises ∼1500 residents. Neighborhood SES has been shown to be significantly associated with survival after Follicular Lymphoma (JCO 27:3044, 2009). Methods: All pts with DLBCL (ICD-O-3 codes 9680 & 9684) diagnosed from Jan 1988 to Dec 2007 and reported to CCR were included in the analysis, including n=16,892 diagnosed from 1988-2000, and n=11,916 from 2001-2007 (total study pop'n =28,808). HIV/AIDS pts were excluded, as were n=63 with Mediastinal LBCL & n=10 with primary effusion lymphoma. The mean age was 63 yrs, and the cohort was 53% male. Between time periods, there was a relative increase in Hispanic pts [15.4% (1988-2000) to 20.8% (2001-2007), p<0.001], and a 4% increase in advanced stage from 42% (1988-2000) to 46% (2001-2007) (p<0.001). Neighborhood SES was stratified into quintiles from lowest (SES-1) to highest (SES-5), the pt distribution was: SES-1, 14%; SES-2, 18%; SES-3, 21%; SES-4, 23%; and SES-5, 24%. To evaluate the impact of prognostic factors (particularly diagnosis period, SES, and race/ethnicity) on overall survival (OS) & disease-specific survival (DSS) we used Cox proportional hazards regression to calculate hazard ratios (HR) for death with 95% CI's. Multivariate regression models included variables significant at p<0.15 in univariate models or with a priori hypotheses for inclusion. Results are presented by stage at diagnosis [Localized/Regional (LocReg) vs. Advanced (ADV)]. Results: There was a significant improvement in OS in patients diagnosed after 2001 for both LocReg (HR 0.87, 95%CI 0.82-0.91, p<0.001) and ADV stage (HR 0.69, 95%CI 0.66-0.72, p<0.001), which correlates with the introduction of rituximab into therapy for DLBCL. As expected, age >60 years was associated with a significantly worse OS for LocReg (HR 3.06, 95%CI 2.90-3.24) and ADV stage (2.02, 95%CI 1.93-2.12). Females also had significantly better OS compared with males (Loc-Reg - HR 0.90, 95%CI 0.86-0.94; ADV - HR 0.89, 95%CI 0.85-0.93). There was no significant impact of race/ethnicity on survival with the exception of non-Hispanic Asian/Pacific Islanders (NH A/PI) with ADV stage, for whom OS was significantly inferior compared with whites (HR 1.18, 95%CI 1.09-1.27, p<0.001). Compared with the highest quintile (SES-5), there was a significant effect of lower neighborhood SES on OS and DSS (see Table). Conclusion: There has been a significant improvement in survival after DLBCL since 2001, but patients in the lowest SES-1 quintile have a 34% higher risk of death from any cause and 20% higher risk for death from lymphoma than those in the highest SES-5. In this model, race/ethnicity did not have a significant impact on survival with the exception of NH A/PI with ADV stage. Studies to understand and address these socioeconomic disparities are urgently required in order to extend the improvements in DLBCL survival more effectively.

101 Background: The Inpatient (Inpt) Oncology Service at University Hospitals Seidman Cancer Center, a large urban academic NCI Comprehensive Cancer Center was charged with identifying opportunities to link patient (pt) quality improvement and decreased length of stay (LOS) in pts admitted for elective chemotherapy (EC). Historically, EC admissions were delayed due to pt variables, inpt bed availability, and chemotherapy order entry errors. Often chemotherapy was not initiated until late evening on day of admission, resulting in increased LOS. Safety concerns associated with late starts included fewer pharmacy resources, lower nurse/pt ratio, and no onsite APRN. Methods: A 2-month pilot was conducted, using an intervention group (IG) and control (C) group representing usual care (UC). The IG group was a subset with oropharyngeal pts and C group, all other EC admissions. Pre-registration and bed placement processes were reviewed. Workflow changes for IG included chemotherapy order set entered in electronic medical record 48 hours before admission, labs drawn day before admission, and weekly huddle including admitting, inpt and outpatient (Outpt) teams to review upcoming week’s admissions. IG pts were pre-scheduled for am admission. Inpt oncology services incorporated admissions into morning workflow. Census was taken above cap to accommodate IG patients. Time parameters were tracked from point of pt arrival in Admitting to initiation of EC. Results: There were 32 pts in the 2-month pilot study; 14 in the IG and 9 in UC. Mean admit time was 0900 (range 0730-1030) for IG and 1200 noon (range 1000-1600) for UC. Initiation of EC before 1500 occurred in 93% of IG compared to 11% of UC pts. This resulted in an average decreased LOS for IG of 1.1 day compared to UC. Pt and family comments included appreciation of predictable admit time and LOS. Conclusions: Because of the 8-week pilot success, these EC workflow changes have been implemented across Oncology services. Weekly huddles and coordination of clinical services across inpt and outpt settings continue to show advantage of proactive planning and troubleshooting before the day of EC admission. More importantly, EC pt safety and experience has improved with these work-flow changes.

Surveys on the topography, demography, agriculture, livestock, water management, education, culture, health, waste management, transport, biodiversity, human animal conflict were done in this area. Medicinal plant diversity was studied in the village area and information was gathered from the local forest department centre. Information regarding the transport system was collected from the local transport office and syndicate. Census report was collected from the Sonada Panchayat Office. Health and education information was collected from the local primary school and the local sub health centre. Information on sustainable agricultural practices and waste management policies is collected through surveys in the village houses and agricultural fields. Biodiversity of Senchal Wildlife Sanctuary was documented by visiting the forest areas. Pictorial documentation was done in every phase of study. In spite of getting so much attention in the recent time, the village is not adequately developed. There is an urgent need for implementing sustainable management systems in the areas for the betterment of the socio-environmental structures. Some of the possible management strategies have been suggested for maintaining the social, environmental, economic and ecological balance of the region.

23 Background: With the continued advent of new therapeutics, burgeoning costs and financial toxicity are more frequently a complication in comprehensive cancer care. At Levine Cancer Institute (LCI), a multidisciplinary Financial Toxicity Tumor Board has driven $55-60 million in cost savings for patients annually, and presented patient cases can serve as a continual impetus for iterative quality improvement and cost-savings research. One such example highlights the augmented risk of financial toxicity resultant from increasing utilization of front-line chemoimmunotherapy (chemo-IO) in ES-SCLC. Both atezolizumab and durvalumab in concert with platinum-etoposide chemotherapy separately portend an overall survival benefit. Retrospective analyses have failed to demonstrate a PFS or OS advantage between the two regimens. Amidst comparable efficacy, we sought to ascertain institutional variance in cost profiles and financial toxicity. Methods: Billing and demographic data for patients with ES-SCLC who received chemo-IO with durvalumab or atezolizumab in an LCI hospital-based outpatient infusion center were queried. Treatment dates encompassed October 1, 2019 through April 30, 2022. Patient costs were compared and exploratory analyses were performed related to patient demographics, patient geography (with financial characteristics per Census data) and bad debt proportions. Results: 211 patients received chemo-IO with atezolizumab, and 108 patients received chemo-IO with durvalumab. Medicare (+/- supplementary insurance), Medicare Advantage, and commercial insurance constituted 85% of payors. Institutional covenants restrict publication of commercial and supplementary insurance data; for compliance and generalizability, reported is the Medicare-only population. Medicare allowables of $6791 and $8429 were utilized per dose of atezolizumab 1200 mg and durvalumab 1500 mg, respectively. Amidst 20% patient responsibility with Medicare, durvalumab patient cost was $327.60 higher per cycle. Incorporating observed mean number of cycles of 5.20 for atezolizumab and 5.31 for durvalumab, an average course of durvalumab was $1836.56 more expensive. Assessing the entire population, 24% of patients in both groups met criteria for bad debt; however, mean quantity of bad debt was 62% higher with durvalumab ($8988.77) than with atezolizumab ($5555.11). Bad debt was disproportionately congregated in lower income zip codes (data to be displayed pictorally). Conclusions: Chemo-IO with durvalumab was $1834.56 more expensive per treatment course in ES-SCLC, with 62% increase in quantity of bad debt relative to atezolizumab. Future directions may focus on institutional interventions to mitigate financial toxicity related to therapy choice and geographic allocation of resources, as well as the assessment of cost variance in other solid tumors.

BackgroundInequalities in health-care access and outcomes raise concerns about quality of care and justice, and the NHS has a statutory duty to consider reducing them.ObjectivesThe objectives were to (1) develop indicators of socioeconomic inequality in health-care access and outcomes at different stages of the patient pathway; (2) develop methods for monitoring local NHS equity performance in tackling socioeconomic health-care inequalities; (3) track the evolution of socioeconomic health-care inequalities in the 2000s; and (4) develop ‘equity dashboards’ for communicating equity findings to decision-makers in a clear and concise format.DesignLongitudinal whole-population study at the small-area level.SettingEngland from 2001/2 to 2011/12.ParticipantsA total of 32,482 small-area neighbourhoods (lower-layer super output areas) of approximately 1500 people.Main outcome measuresSlope index of inequality gaps between the most and least deprived neighbourhoods in England, adjusted for need or risk, for (1) patients per family doctor, (2) primary care quality, (3) inpatient hospital waiting time, (4) emergency hospitalisation for chronic ambulatory care-sensitive conditions, (5) repeat emergency hospitalisation in the same year, (6) dying in hospital, (7) mortality amenable to health care and (8) overall mortality.Data sourcesPractice-level workforce data from the general practice census (indicator 1), practice-level Quality and Outcomes Framework data (indicator 2), inpatient hospital data from Hospital Episode Statistics (indicators 3–6) and mortality data from the Office for National Statistics (indicators 6–8).ResultsBetween 2004/5 and 2011/12, more deprived neighbourhoods gained larger absolute improvements on all indicators except waiting time, repeat hospitalisation and dying in hospital. In 2011/12, there was little measurable inequality in primary care supply and quality, but inequality was associated with 171,119 preventable hospitalisations and 41,123 deaths amenable to health care. In 2011/12, > 20% of Clinical Commissioning Groups performed statistically significantly better or worse than the England equity benchmark.LimitationsGeneral practitioner supply is a limited measure of primary care access, need in deprived neighbourhoods may be underestimated because of a lack of data on multimorbidity, and the quality and outcomes indicators capture only one aspect of primary care quality. Health-care outcomes are adjusted for age and sex but not for other risk factors that contribute to unequal health-care outcomes and may be outside the control of the NHS, so they overestimate the extent of inequality for which the NHS can reasonably be held responsible.ConclusionsNHS actions can have a measurable impact on socioeconomic inequality in both health-care access and outcomes. Reducing inequality in health-care outcomes is more challenging than reducing inequality of access to health care. Local health-care equity monitoring against a national benchmark can be performed using any administrative geography comprising ≥ 100,000 people.Future workExploration of quality improvement lessons from local areas performing well and badly on health-care equity, improved methods including better measures of need and risk and measures of health-care inequality over the life-course, and monitoring of other dimensions of equity. These indicators can also be used to evaluate the health-care equity impacts of interventions and make international health-care equity comparisons.FundingThe National Institute for Health Research Health Services and Delivery Research programme.

AbstractThe population of the Near Threatened brown lemur Eulemur fulvus on the island of Mayotte was censused in 1974, 1984 and 1999. We carried out a new census in 2008, estimating individual and group densities in the three main habitat types on the island (preserved forest, anthropogenic forest and agricultural areas), and more generally evaluating population trends. Data included sex ratios and the number of young < 1 year-old per female. The census was at the end of the dry season, along 14 transect lines of 0.5 or 1 km length. Counts of groups and individuals were repeated three times between 07.00 and 10.00 and between 15.00 and 18.00. The densities of groups and individuals were calculated using Distance. By 2008 group and individual densities had significantly decreased in preserved forest, and there was also a decrease in group size in all habitat types. The 2008 census also showed that the overall population of E. fulvus on Mayotte has decreased by about half since 1999. We suggest that these changes reflect environmental stress associated with a decrease in available food resources. Urgent action to preserve forest habitat is necessary for the long-term survival of this lemur.

Results of the survey of wintering Great Grey Shrikes Lanius excubitor at Ljubljansko barje in winters 2008/09, 2011/12 and 2012/13 are presented. The census was conducted by 30-60 volunteers of the Ljubljana branch of DOPPS - BirdLife Slovenia. The survey area was divided into 13-20 census plots. Locations of Great Grey Shrikes, types of structures on which the shrikes perched, and heights of their perches were recorded. The numbers of wintering Great Grey Shrikes at Ljubljansko barje were estimated at 57 (2008/09), 51 (2011/12) and 67 (2012/13) individuals. Crude densities in the census area were 4.2, 3.7 and 4.9 individuals/10 km2, whereas maximal local densities reached 15.0, 14.6 and 14.8 individuals/10 km2. The analysis of the actual land use revealed higher densities of Great Grey Shrikes in the areas with a higher proportion of grassland and a lower proportion of arable fields and gardens in winter 2008/09; there was no such gradient in the other two winters. Great Grey Shrikes were most often observed in treetops, on powerlines and bushes in winters 2011/12 and 2012/13, while in winter 2008/09 they were more often observed on herbaceous stems and less often on powerlines. Moreover, the heights of their perches were lower than in the other two winters.

Methods: The national Vizient Clinical Database was queried for outpatients with lung, breast, prostate, colorectal or pancreas cancer from 2022-2023. This includes data from 98% of academic medical centers and more than 110 cancer hospitals. The exposures of interest were Medicaid insurance and social vulnerability as measured by the Vizient Vulnerability Index (VVI), a novel marker of social drivers of health at the census tract level. Participation in a clinical trial was the primary outcome. A multivariable analysis was performed evaluating the association of social vulnerability quartiles with clinical trial participation. Interaction tests were performed for race and VVI. Results: 2,660,566 patients were identified. Of these, 36,456 (1.4%) enrolled in a clinical trial: 28.6% with breast cancer, 26.3% prostate, 22.8% lung, 12.8% colorectal and 9.5% pancreas. Trial participants were more likely to be young, White, privately insured, have metastatic disease, and live in a less vulnerable census tract.5.3% of trial participants were insured by Medicaid (12.2% of Black participants, 8.5% of Asian participants, and 3.5% of White participants), compared to 6.2% of non-participants (p<0.0001).22.6% of participants lived in highly vulnerable neighborhoods (53.5% of Black participants, 19.7% of White participants, and 5.6% of Asian participants), compared to 25.0% of non-participants (p<0.0001). Living in the most vulnerable VVI quartile was associated with decreased odds of clinical trial enrollment (OR 0.86; 95% CI 0.82-0.91, p=0.0442), as was having Medicaid insurance vs. private insurance (OR 0.76; 95% CI 0.73-0.80, p<0.0001). The highest social vulnerability quartiles in the VVI domains for education, neighborhood resources and transportation were associated with decreased enrollment (Table). High social vulnerability decreased the odds of enrollment for Black patients (OR 0.80; 95% CI 0.68-0.88, p<0.0001) more than White patients (OR 0.88; 95% CI 0.89-0.96, p=0.0028); p=0.0054 for interaction. Conclusions: 1.4% of patients in this contemporary, cross-sectional cohort enrolled in a clinical trial. Patients with Medicaid have a 24% lower odds of enrollment than privately insured patients. Neighborhood social vulnerability is also barrier to enrollment, even more so among Black patients. Interventions to address social determinants of health may increase racial diversity in clinical trials. [Table: see text]

This study aims to investigate the moderating role of renewable energy on sustainable environmental factors, environmentally friendly products, and customer value in consumer decision making in choosing a residential house without greenhouse effect in Indonesia. The data source in this study is 270 people who have a residence without a greenhouse effect. The research method is a quantitative descriptive method using Structural Equation Model data analysis using the PLS 3.0 application. The population in this study amounted to 270 people who have a residence without a greenhouse effect, while the number of samples was 270 people who have a residence without a greenhouse effect with a sampling technique using the census method, while the data collection technique was carried out using observation, questionnaires and documentation studies. The results of this study indicate that consumers tend to be more interested in choosing residential houses that use renewable energy and have environmentally friendly features. In addition, customer values perceived by consumers, such as quality, price, comfort, and safety, also have a positive influence on consumer decisions in choosing residential houses without greenhouse effect. Limitations of this study include the use of self-reporting survey data, which may affect the validity and reliability of the results. In addition, this study focused on the context of residential homes in Indonesia, so generalizability of the findings needs to be considered with caution. Recommendations for future research include involving a more representative sample, incorporating objective data to measure environmental variables and environmentally friendly products, and expanding the geographical scope of the study to compare results between different regions in Indonesia.

Purpose: The study aimed at assessing procurement best practices and sustainable supply chain performance of plastic and rubber manufacturing firms in Kenya.
Methodology: Descriptive research design was adopted by the study. A total of 167 plastic and rubber manufacturing firms in Kenya was the target population, as indicated by KAM (2022) directory. This study used census, as a rule of thumb for population below 200. To gather data, structured questionnaires were used to collect data. Once collected, data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Quantitative data was analysed using multiple regression analysis. The qualitative data generated was analyzed by use of the Statistical Package of Social Sciences (SPSS) version 21.
Findings: In this study multivariate regression analysis was used to determine the significance of the relationship between the dependent variable and all the independent variables pooled together. Regression analysis was conducted to find the proportion in the dependent variable which can be predicted from the independent variables. The current study obtained an R2 of 64.7% and should therefore be expanded further in futhe ture in order to include other procurement best practices that may as well have a positive significance to the sustainable supply chain performance of plastic and rubber manufacturing firms.The findings of the study indicated that reverse logistics management, procurement outsourcing, e-procurement and green procurement have a positive relationship with sustainable supply chain performance of plastic and rubber manufacturing firms in Kenya.
Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: The study recommended that institutions should embrace procurement best practices so as to improve sustainable supply chain performance and further research should to be carried out in other institutions to find out if the same results can be obtained

BACKGROUND: Social determinants and demographics exert an overwhelming influence on the health of the individual and overall population health (J Am Geriatr Soc. PMID: 28369694).The Hispanic paradox has been well characterized, demonstrating that although Hispanic patients (HisP) have higher disability, depressive, metabolic, and inflammatory risk when compared to non-Hispanic (nHisP), they continue to live long lives (J Health Soc Behav. PMID: 31771347). The characterization of these differences in hematology has not been well documented. This study seeks to characterize Lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma (LPL). LPL is a rare lymphoma of B-cell origin demonstrating an incidence of 1000 to 1500 new cases per year in the United States (Hematol Oncol Clin North Am, PMID: 31229160). Epidemiological research is not well documented in this lymphoma subtype, especially regarding the HisP. Given that Texas has the second highest state with HisP in the country (US Census Bureau), we studied the demographics of this disease and specifically researched the demographics, treatment patterns and survival between HisP and nHisP in Texas. METHODS: This is a retrospective study of a cohort of patients diagnosed with lymphoma (Hodgkin and Non-Hodgkin) from the Texas Cancer Registry (TCR) database. Patient's included were those >18 years of age during 2006-2016 and this study focused on the LPL subset. Standard demographic variables collected include gender, race, ethnicity, birthplace, occupation, dates at diagnosis and death, primary payer at diagnosis, subtype of lymphoma, stage, type of treatment, poverty index, and vitality status among others. The significance of variation in the distribution of categorical outcomes with ethnicity (HisP, nHisP) was assessed with Fisher's Exact tests or Pearson's Chi-square tests as appropriate; age was assessed with T-tests or Wilcoxon tests as appropriate. Survival time was measured in years from date of primary diagnosis to date of death. Survival distributions were described with Kaplan-Meier curves and significance of variation in median survival with ethnicity was assessed with log rank testing. All statistical testing was two-sided with a significance level of 5%. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: Out of 490 patients diagnosed with LPL, 64 were HisP and 426 nHisP. Of this population, the HisP had a higher percentage of patients at the higher end of the poverty index (42.4% to 20% with p value <0.001) and higher rates of being uninsured or on Medicare (51.6 to 43.4% with p value <0.001). There were no statistically significant differences in the staging at the time of diagnosis between the two groups, mostly III/IV (HisP 65.6% to nHisP 62% P value 0.387). Treatment modalities differed slightly in that the nHisP populations were more likely to receive beam radiation than the HisP (3.4% to 0, P value 0.005) but overall chemotherapy differences were not statistically significant. The median survival time in years for HisP and nHisP was 6.8 and 7.6 respectively, and the overall survival probability was not significantly different with a P value of 0.59. The survival probabilities at 2, 5 and 10 years between HisP and nHisP were respectively, 0.657 with Confidence interval (CI)[0.545,0.792], 0.573 CI [0.455,0.722], 0.448 CI [0.32,0.627], compared to 0.766 CI [0.723,0.811], 0.620 CI [0.566,0.68], 0.129 CI [0.042,0.389]. CONCLUSION: In this study we show that in Texas, for those diagnosed with LPL, there is a statistically significant difference in the rates of poverty and insurance when comparing Hisp to nHisP. While this is true, there is no clear statistically significant difference in overall treatment or survival probability, which is consistent with the Hispanic paradox. Due to the rarity of this disease, the population size is limited which may skew the data. More research is needed in order to further characterize the differences between these two populations and determine what can be done to narrow these differences.

Resumo Após a Revolta dos Mouriscos de Granada (1568-1570) ocorreu a deportação de boa parte dos mouriscos daquele reino para Castela e outros territórios peninsulares da Monarquia Hispânica. A remoção foi realizada rapidamente, sendo iniciada antes do final do conflito e sistematizada em três levas, entre 1569 e 1585. A deportação provocou debates sobre a pertinência de espalhar pela Espanha uma das fontes da dissidência religiosa: a comunidade mourisca de Granada. Após a distribuição foi constatado que os mouriscos, em muitos, casos tentavam desobedecer às ordens de restrição da circulação, buscando o retorno ao reino de Granada ou fuga para a Berberia mesmo em face a fortes obstáculos. Este artigo procura traçar alguns aspectos deste processo de mobilidade dos mouriscos de Granada, com base tanto nas documentações institucionais, como em relatos e processos individuais, denúncias, crônicas, cartas e censos ou padrones da população.

Ecological biodiversity is declining at an unprecedented rate. To combat such irreversible changes in natural ecosystems, biodiversity conservation initiatives are being conducted globally. However, the lack of a feasible methodology to quantify biodiversity in real-time and investigate population dynamics in spatiotemporal scales prevents the use of ecological data in environmental planning. Traditionally, ecological studies rely on the census of an animal population by the “capture, mark and recapture” technique. In this technique, human field workers manually count, tag and observe tagged individuals, making it time-consuming, expensive, and cumbersome to patrol the entire area. Recent research has also demonstrated the potential for inexpensive and accessible sensors for ecological data monitoring. However, stationary sensors collect localised data which is highly specific on the placement of the setup. In this research, we propose the methodology for biodiversity monitoring utilising state-of-the-art deep learning (DL) methods operating in real-time on sample payloads of mobile robots. Such trained DL algorithms demonstrate a mean average precision (mAP) of 90.51% in an average inference time of 67.62 milliseconds within 6,000 training epochs. We claim that the use of such mobile platform setups inferring real-time ecological data can help us achieve our goal of quick and effective biodiversity surveys. An experimental test payload is fabricated, and online as well as offline field surveys are conducted, validating the proposed methodology for species identification that can be further extended to geo-localisation of flora and fauna in any ecosystem.

Valvular surgery in patients (pts) with long history of cardiac valve disease is accomplishing improvement of symptoms, functional status and longevity. The numbers are very big also in our country. Our census numbers are not reliable, but estimation of above 15000 pts with prosthetic heart valve implants is close to correct. Since significant increase in survival and longevity of those pts, the possibility and necessity for non cardiac operative procedures are also increased. Because of specificity and complex constant regular anticoagulation therapy in order to prevent catastrophic prosthetic valve thrombosis and common thromboembolic complication good, but safe reduction of anticoagulation status to accomplish also safe haemostatic condition necessary for all surgical procedures. Individual adjustment and tailoring of anticoagulant and anti aggregation therapies according to accepted international protocols should be carefully done with necessary variation depending on the non cardiac organ and system involved: urgent either minor or major surgical interventions; bleeding peptic ulcer; elective surgery including ophthalmic and common dental procedures with risk of bleeding. .

Objectives: Tumor size and axillary lymph node (LN) involvement are used as prognostic markers and a guide for choosing adjuvant therapy. This study aimed to evaluate LN involvement and related risk factors in patients with breast cancer (BC) referred for radiotherapy. Materials and Methods: Using the census sampling method, 15,000 women with BC referring for radiotherapy were enrolled in this retrospective descriptive study performed at Tabriz University of Medical Sciences during 2000-2020. LN involvement and related risk factors were recorded and analyzed using the t test and ANOVA test at a significance level of P<0.05. Results: The prevalence of LN involvement in this study was 25%. The estrogen receptor status and LN involvement were associated with metastasis. The odds ratio of metastasis in patients with a negative estrogen receptor was about twice that of women with estrogen receptor positivity. Finally, the risk of metastasis in patients presenting with LN involvement was eight times higher than that of patients without LN involvement. Conclusion: In general, estrogen receptor status and LN involvement were associated with metastasis in patients with BC. Thus, these factors can be regarded as a guide to start necessary interventions earlier in at-risk patients.

The density of community activities around the Ujing Piring Bangkalan estuary has the potential to produce waste containing ammonia which is very dangerous for the environment and causes a decrease in water quality and threatens the existence of aquatic organisms including phytoplankton. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between ammonia levels and the abundance of phytoplankton in the morning and evening in the Ujung Piring Bangkalan estuary. The sampling time was carried out in the morning (08.00-09.30 WIB) and afternoon (15.00-16.30 WIB) three times in three weeks using 10 micron plankton nets in the Ujung Piring Bangkalan estuary waters. The sampling method used a purposive sampling method with phytoplankton analysis using the census method and continued with statistical tests using the linear regression method. The relationship between ammonia levels and phytoplankton abundance in the morning and evening were 0.1537 with a percentage of 15% and 0.0593 with a percentage of 0.05%, respectively. This value states that ammonia levels have a negative correlation with the abundance of phytoplankton in the morning and evening in the Ujung Piring Bangkalan estuary

The HST Astrometry Science Team is using the Fine Guidance Sensors (FGS) in the Transfer Function (TF) Scan mode to search for binaries among the faint members of the Hyades cluster. To date (March 1994), nine binaries have been discovered among 24 stars examined. The closest pair (total V=13.5) has a separation of 0.051 arcsec; the faintest (sep=0.287 arcsec) has magnitudes V=15.0 and 16.5; neither object posed a challenge to the capabilities of FGS. For another pair, two observations 152 days apart show a 13 deg change in position angle, indicating rapid orbital motion. One decade should suffice to define the orbit with angular dimensions of sub-millisecond of arc accuracy.Clearly, this work will soon permit mass determinations for low-luminosity members of the Hyades cluster. Moreover, information on the frequency of binaries will provide insight into the role of duplicity in star formation and in the dynamic evolution of the cluster. To be truly useful, a census of binaries in the Hyades (and other clusters) must ultimately reach cluster members fainter than those currently under investigation, requiring astrometry with sub-millisecond of arc accuracy at near-infrared wavelengths.

PurposeTo investigate health, mortality and healthcare inequalities experienced by people with intellectual disabilities, and autistic people, and their determinants; an important step towards identifying and implementing solutions to reduce inequalities. This paper describes the cohorts, record-linkages and variables that will be used.ParticipantsScotland’s Census, 2011 was used to identify Scotland’s citizens with intellectual disabilities, and autistic citizens, and representative general population samples with neither. Using Scotland’s community health index, the Census data (demography, household, employment, long-term conditions) were linked with routinely collected health, death and healthcare data: Scotland’s register of deaths, Scottish morbidity data 06 (SMR06: cancer incidence, mortality, treatments), Prescribing Information System (identifying asthma/chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; angina/congestive heart failure/hypertension; peptic ulcer/reflux; constipation; diabetes; thyroid disorder; depression; bipolar disorders; anxiety/sleep; psychosis; attention deficit hyperactivity disorder; epilepsy; glaucoma), SMR01 (general/acute hospital admissions and causes, ambulatory care sensitive admissions), SMR04 (mental health admissions and causes), Scottish Care Information–Diabetes Collaboration (diabetic care quality, diabetic outcomes), national bowel screening programme and cervical screening.Findings to dateOf the whole population, 0.5% had intellectual disabilities, and 0.6% were autistic. Linkage was successful for >92%. The resultant e-cohorts include: (1) 22 538 people with intellectual disabilities (12 837 men and 9701 women), 4509 of whom are children <16 years, (2) 27 741 autistic people (21 390 men and 6351 women), 15 387 of whom are children <16 years and (3) representative general population samples with neither condition. Very good general health was reported for only 3389 (15.0%) people with intellectual disabilities, 10 510 (38.0%) autistic people, compared with 52.4% general population. Mental health conditions were reported for 4755 (21.1%) people with intellectual disabilities, 3998 (14.4%) autistic people, compared with 4.2% general population.Future plansAnalyses will determine the extent of premature mortality, causes of death, and avoidable deaths, profile of health conditions and cancers, healthcare quality and screening and determinants of mortality and healthcare.

ObjectiveSince rapid population growth challenges longitudinal population-based HIV cohorts in Africa to maintain coverage of their target populations, this study evaluated whether the exclusion of some residents due to growing population size biases key HIV metrics like prevalence and population-level viremia.Design, setting and participantsData were obtained from the Rakai Community Cohort Study (RCCS) in south central Uganda, an open population-based cohort which began excluding some residents of newly constructed household structures within its surveillance boundaries in 2008. The study includes adults aged 15–49 years who were censused from 2019 to 2020.MeasuresWe fit ensemble machine learning models to RCCS census and survey data to predict HIV seroprevalence and viremia (prevalence of those with viral load >1000 copies/mL) in the excluded population and evaluated whether their inclusion would change overall estimates.ResultsOf the 24 729 census-eligible residents, 2920 (12%) residents were excluded from the RCCS because they were living in new households. The predicted seroprevalence for these excluded residents was 10.8% (95% CI: 9.6% to 11.8%)—somewhat lower than 11.7% (95% CI: 11.2% to 12.3%) in the observed sample. Predicted seroprevalence for younger excluded residents aged 15–24 years was 4.9% (95% CI: 3.6% to 6.1%)—significantly higher than that in the observed sample for the same age group (2.6% (95% CI: 2.2% to 3.1%)), while predicted seroprevalence for older excluded residents aged 25–49 years was 15.0% (95% CI: 13.3% to 16.4%)—significantly lower than their counterparts in the observed sample (17.2% (95% CI: 16.4% to 18.1%)). Over all ages, the predicted prevalence of viremia in excluded residents (3.7% (95% CI: 3.0% to 4.5%)) was significantly higher than that in the observed sample (1.7% (95% CI: 1.5% to 1.9%)), resulting in a higher overall population-level viremia estimate of 2.1% (95% CI: 1.8% to 2.4%).ConclusionsExclusion of residents in new households may modestly bias HIV viremia estimates and some age-specific seroprevalence estimates in the RCCS. Overall, HIV seroprevalence estimates were not significantly affected.

This study aims to investigate the influence of motivation, labor discipline, and work environment toward employee performance at LPK Monarch Dalung-Bali. The sampling technique used in this study is census technique taken from all employees at LPK Monarch Dalung-Bali as many as 38 people. The analysis technique used in this study is Multiple Linear Regression with Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) versi 15.0 for windows. The results showed that 1) motivation has a positive and significant effect on employee performance at LPK Monarch Dalung-Bali. 2) Labor discipline has a positive and significant effect on employee performance at LPK Monarch Dalung-Bali. 3) Work environment has a positive and significant effect on employee performance at LPK Monarch DalungBali. The advices in this study indicate that the company could be defended and improved the motivation, labor discipline, and work environment in increasing employee performance. The improvement of employee motivation had better do by giving the salary based on the competence, workload, and achievement. The improvement of labor discipline should be done by increasing the understanding of employee on the regulation in company. Furthermore, the improvement of work environment could be done by adding ventilations and plants around the room to get a fluent air circulation and make the employee more comfortable to work.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of compliance, materiality, and audit risk on the judgment of the auditor's judgment on the Public Accounting Firm in North Sumatra. This analysis is based on data obtained from 45 respondents, namely auditors who have senior auditor positions and junior auditors at the Public Accountants office in North Sumatra by distributing questionnaires. This research is census research. The data used is primary data, which is obtained directly from the research subject in the form of respondents' perceptions by circulating the questionnaire in the form of a questionnaire to the respondent. From the number of questionnaires circulated to respondents as many as 52 sheets, only 45 sheets returned with a rate of return reaching 86.53%. Furthermore, the data analysis in this study used multiple linear regression which was processed using a computer program Statistical Product and Service Solution (SPSS) ver 15.0. The results of the study showed that both simultaneously and partially obedient pressure, materiality, and audit risk had an effect on the accuracy of the auditor's judgment at the Public Accounting Firm in North Sumatra. This proves that the higher the pressure of obedience, materiality and audit risk possessed by the auditor, the higher the auditor's judgment. Keywords: Pressure of obedience, Materiality, Audit Risk, and Auditor Judgment.

The purpose of this study was to determine the significant effect of the Resource-Based Learning model on students' problem-solving abilities. This research uses experimental quantitative research methods. The technique used is using a saturated sampling technique which can be called a census sample selection where all members of the population are sampled. The data analysis technique of this research is to compare the test results of the experimental class and the control class by using the pre-test and post-test normality test, homogeneity test, and hypothesis testing. The results showed that there was a significant effect on the experimental class that had been treated with the Resource-Based Learning (RBL) model on the problem-solving ability of light waves at SMA Adabiyah Palembang, this was evidenced by the results of the problem-solving abilities of the experimental class and the control sample class. From these results, the average problem-solving ability of the experimental class is greater than that of the control class. Then from the analysis obtained using IBM SPSS 15.0 with a t-test value of 0.000 <0.05, it can be concluded that there is an influence of the Resource-Based Learning (RBL) learning model on the ability to solve light wave material physics problems at SMA Adabiyah Palembang. Keywords: Learning model, Resource-based learning, Problem solving ability
