Abstract:

Arizona State University (ASU) has been awarded a $450,000 grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation for a three-year project designed to build and expand community-driven collections, in an effort to preserve and improve ASU’s archives and give voice to historically marginalized communities. Under the leadership of ASU Library Archivist Nancy Godoy and coinvestigators Sujey Vega and Lorrie McAllister, the project—titled “Engaging, Educating, and Empowering: Developing Community-Driven Archival Collections”—will implement Archives and Preservation Workshops and Digitization and Oral History Days, as well as digitize and make publicly accessible existing archival collections from the ASU Library Chicano/a Research Collection and Greater Arizona Collection. In 2012, the Arizona Archives Matrix Project, a statewide initiative to gather data about local archives, identified several historically marginalized communities in Arizona, including LGBT, Asian American, African American, and the Latino community, which make up 30 percent of Arizona’s population but is represented in less than 2 percent of known archival collections. With the aim to address this inequity, the ASU project will build on Godoy’s previous work coestablishing the Arizona LGBT History Project and collaborating with ASU faculty members Vega and Vanessa Fonseca on an ASU School of Transborder Studies seed grant, which implemented archives and preservation workshops statewide and helped to assess community needs and interests.

Abstract:

The National Park Service's Submerged Resources Center and USS Arizona Memorial are conducting and coordinating research directed at understanding the nature and rate of natural processes affecting the deterioration of the USS Arizona in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. The USS Arizona Preservation Project is designed to be multi-year, interdisciplinary and cumulative, with each element contributing to developing an overall management strategy designed to minimize environmental hazard from fuel oil release and provide the basic research required to make informed management decisions for long-term preservation. The primary project focus is toward acquiring requisite data for understanding the complex corrosion and deterioration processes affecting Arizona's hull, both internally and externally, and modeling and predicting the nature and rate of structural changes. This research program is designed to be a cumulative progression of multi-disciplinary investigative steps. Multiple lines of evidence are being pursued simultaneously, each directly or indirectly linked to the others and to the overall project objectives. This project is an example of government agencies, academic institutions, military commands and private institutions working together effectively for public benefit. The USS Arizona Preservation Project is designed to serve as a model because it will have direct application to preservation and management of historical iron and steel vessels worldwide and to intervention actions for other leaking vessels.

Abstract:

In this article, I describe and reflect on the lessons learned from developing and implementing an outreach project focusing on science education and participatory mapping with adult education students, primarily immigrants from northern Mexico. As a graduate student at the University of Arizona's Department of Anthropology, with support from a NASA Space Grant Fellowship, I developed and implemented this project between August 2004 and August 2006 in southern Arizona. Due to the demographics of this area, the majority of the students with whom I worked were immigrants from the Mexican state of Sonora, which borders Arizona (see Figure 1 below).

Abstract:

An early telemedicine project involving NASA, the Papago Tribe (now the Tohono O'odham Indian Nation), the Lockheed Missile and Space Company, the Indian Health Service and the Department of Health, Education and Welfare explored the possibilities of using technology to provide improved health care to a remote population in southern Arizona. The project, called STARPAHC (Space Technology Applied to Rural Papago Advanced Health Care), took place in the 1970s and demonstrated the feasibility of a consortium of public and private partners working together to provide medical care to remote populations via telecommunication. In 2001 the Arizona Health Sciences Library acquired important archival materials documenting the STARPAHC project and in collaboration with the Arizona Telemedicine Program established the Arizona Archive of Telemedicine. The material is likely to interest those studying early attempts to use technology to deliver health care at a distance, as well as those studying the sociological ramifications of technical and scientific projects among indigenous populations.

Abstract:

River restoration activities are becoming increasingly common in many communities today. Such efforts in Arizona are illustrative of a larger ecosystem and river restoration trend underway nationally and internationally. This paper examines river restoration efforts in Arizona in the context of changing federal and state agency missions and local priorities. Restoration projects on four significant rivers are analyzed with a keen look at the design features they share. Multiple purpose goals, collaborative funding and support, community involvement, and monitoring and maintenance emerged as important project design features. We found that the extent to which these features were planned and implemented in any given project varied with several factors such as size, accessibility to urban populations and the mission of the principal sponsoring entity.

Abstract:

The Arizona Twin Project is an ongoing longitudinal study designed to elucidate the genetic and environmental influences underlying the development of early competence and resilience to common mental and physical health problems during infancy and childhood. Participants are a sample of 600 twins (25% Hispanic) recruited from birth records in the state of Arizona, United States. Primary caregivers were interviewed on twins’ development and early social environments when twins were 12 and 30 months of age. Measures include indices of prenatal and obstetrical risk coded from hospital medical records, as well as primary caregiver-report questionnaires assessing multiple indicators of environmental risk and resilience (e.g., parental warmth and control, family and social support), twins’ developmental maturity, temperament, health, behavior problems, and competencies. Preliminary findings highlight the importance of the early environment for infant and toddler health and well-being, both directly and as a moderator of genetic influences. Future directions include a third longitudinal assessment in middle childhood examining daily bidirectional relations between sleep, health behaviors, stress, and mood.

Full text

Abstract:

In 1990 the Arizona Department of Transportation designed and constructed a large-scale asphalt rubber (AR) test project in Flagstaff, Arizona, on the very heavily trafficked Interstate 40. The purpose of the test project was to determine whether a relatively thin overlay with AR could reduce reflective cracking. AR is a mixture of 80 percent hot paving-grade asphalt and 20 percent ground tire rubber. This mixture is also commonly referred to as the asphalt rubber wet process or McDonald process. The overlay project was built on top of a very badly cracked concrete pavement that was in need of reconstruction. The AR overlay has performed beyond original expectations. After 9 years of service the overlay is still virtually crack free, with good ride, virtually no rutting or maintenance, and good skid resistance. The benefits of using AR on this project represent about $18 million in construction savings and 4 years’ less construction time. Strategic Highway Research Program SPS-6 test sections built in conjunction with the project further illustrate the very good performance of AR. Results of this project have led to widespread use of AR hot mixes throughout Arizona. On the basis of this work over 3333 km (2,000 mi) of successfully performing AR pavements have been built since 1990.

Abstract:

Project Based Learning models present authentic learning opportunities with real-life situations, enabling students to set their own learning goals and forge their own relationships (Barab, et al., 2001). The autonomy inherent in this model allows youth to bring their skills and experiences to real situations and to be seen as valued community members. This article describes a project-based learning model involving “externs,” who developed and implemented sustainability projects in their communities. Externs worked with Cooperative Extension professionals on locally relevant community projects during the summer of 2011 in three Arizona counties. The project based learning experience had a positive impact on the lives of our three externs.

Abstract:

Abstract Introduction Lymph2Cx lymphoma cell-of-origin assay (LM2CX) was developed by the Lymphoma/Leukemia Molecular Profiling Project (LLMPP) to better categorize diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). NanoString has licensed the assay and is currently pursuing FDA approval. In the meantime, the test is offered exclusively as a lab-developed test (LDT) by the Mayo Clinic Molecular Diagnostics–Arizona Lab (MDAZL) to Mayo Clinic Enterprise patients. In order to comply with these restrictions, the normal workflow for Mayo Clinic Rochester has been modified as cases are sent to Arizona. Rochester consultants order LM2CX using their local laboratory information system (LIS). Slides are prepared by Rochester histology and then shipped to Arizona, where they are entered into the Arizona LIS and processed. In July 2018, we discovered numerous cases that were ordered but not shipped. Because this step took place at the LIS transition between Arizona and Rochester, it was not detected immediately. Methods Allied Health Staff (AHS) colleagues in Rochester and Arizona had the unique opportunity to collaborate. After Arizona AHS identified the problem, they reached out to the Rochester pathology reporting specialists (PRSs) and began a joint improvement project. Together, we were able to measure the impact of the problem, with Arizona auditing digitally, while Rochester audited physical cases. We found 29% of the cases were handled improperly over a 6-month time period. In order to eliminate the gap, Rochester implemented several improvements, including training, tagging all LM2CX cases, and huddle discussions, while Arizona AHS monitored the process digitally. Results Since implementation of improvements, we have had zero defects. Modifications to AHS/consultant training in Rochester will ensure continued success. Conclusions This intervention illustrates the importance of strong collaborations in order to quickly respond to testing issues and provide the greatest value to patients.

Abstract:

Limited access to hearing health care, including hearing aids, is a universal and growing concern. This is particularly true in low- and middle-income countries, such as Mexico. Improving hearing health care equity within a large underserved infant to geriatric population in Mexico requires a foundation of trust and a culturally sensitive vision shared by all stakeholders. This article describes a cross-border hearing health care program that was integrated into an existing humanitarian project for individuals with disabilities. The program, called the Arizona Sonora Borders Projects for Inclusion (ARSOBO), based in Nogales, Sonora, Mexico, is building a “culture of health” in a border town divided by a fence. By crossing geographic, demographic, and social barriers, volunteers from Tucson, Arizona and Nogales, Sonora work to improve the quality of life for hearing impaired individuals, young and old.

Abstract:

The Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) uses a network-level pavement management system to determine budget requirements for its annual pavement preservation program. Although this is a valuable tool for preservation programming, it does not assist the engineers with the selection of projects and rehabilitation treatments. The documented research was designed to enhance the capability of ADOT’s pavement management system to include project selection. An automatic project recommendation procedure was developed and implemented in a user-friendly, modular computer program. This automatic system is expected to reduce considerably the effort required to develop the preservation programs. It should improve the consistency of the decision process. The analysis starts with a section delineation procedure that delineates uniform roadway sections. It then computes the remaining service life of each uniform section by using linear performance equations and trigger points defined for each condition indicator. An artificial neural network simulator is used to screen and recommend roadway sections for the preservation program. The trained artificial neural network prepares a list of candidate sections, using the criteria learned from past selections and the current condition of all pavement sections. This preliminary list of candidate sections is further analyzed by a project recommendation procedure. This procedure recommends a preservation treatment, assigns a priority rating to each section in the list, and sorts the projects by priority. Funding is assigned to the highest-priority sections within each roadway group until the budget recommendation provided by the network optimization process is reached.

Abstract:

Radiocarbon dating at the Arizona accelerator facility has improved substantially in the last three years. Since starting to use graphite targets (see Jull et al, 1986), we have been able to obtain routinely a precision of ca ± 1% (ca 80 yr) for relatively modern material. Our routine technique of tuning and operating the tandem accelerator mass spectrometer (TAMS) and our method of calculating 14C results are discussed in detail. Data on activity ratios of oxalic acid-II/oxalic-I are presented. Examples of the wide variety of projects on which we have collaborated are given. Brief discussions of three such projects are presented for our colleagues who were unable to attend this conference: an Arizona Indian archaeologic project, a study of megafaunal extinctions, and a study of the growth of phosphorite nodules on the sea floor off the Peruvian coast.

Abstract:

The City of Peoria is Arizona’s ninth largest city. It covers nearly 178 square miles and is home to over 153,000 residents. The projected 10 year growth of the City is estimated to be over 204,000, which has prompted a significant expansion of the City’s municipal services and facilities. In an attempt to efficiently meet the demands of the projected growth, the City of Peoria partnered with the Performance Based Studies Research Group out of Arizona State University in 2004. The objective of the partnership was to test and implement a best value structure within the City’s construction program, specifically as applicable to capital projects. This paper presents a five year summary of the test implementation results, the evolution of the best value structure within the city, project performance, service expansion to include non-construction projects, and lessons learned from the research. The research effort has included $385,691,802 in total projects awarded and implemented under the best value structure, with documented performance increases in cost metrics, schedule metrics, and customer satisfaction.

Abstract:

Traditional project management (PM) results have been poor. The practices of direction and control have been identified by deductive logic as problematic. Deductive logic identifies that, if a manager directs and controls, their risk goes up and performance will go down. A new approach to PM is the replacement of technical expertise with the identification and utilization of expertise. New components of this approach are the minimization of the need to think and make decisions, the use of the language of metrics, a new definition of risk, and the use of preplanning that includes the utilization of expertise and focusing on the mitigation of risk that the expert does not control. This approach has been tested by the International Council for Research and Innovation in Building and Construction Working Commission (CIB W117, formerly known as the Performance Based Studies Research Group at Arizona State University) for the past 25 years increasing customer satisfaction to 98% and minimizing cost by 5 to 30%. These practices are a part of the “PM of the Future.”

Full text

Abstract:

The most persistent problem in American policing is style: the police are continually challenged to perform according to the community's expectations of how police ought to perform. During the 1960's, the violent confrontations between police and minority communities forced the convening of the National Advisory Commission on Criminal Justice Standards and Goals which examined the entire criminal justice system and offered recommendations for improvement. In the case of poor minority communities, the Commission recommended that the police adopt a particular style, the team policing model, in order to obtain better cooperation from citizens and, ultimately, greater assistance in solving and preventing crimes. Team policing projects have emerged in many cities. Some have failed, others prosper. During 1977-78, I scrutinized one such program that failed. I chronicled the demise of a two-year team policing project conducted by the Pima County, Arizona, Sheriff's Department (PCSD) in the New Pascua Yaqui community located twenty miles southwest of Tucson, Arizona.

Abstract:

Abstract Currently, 5.8 million US adults live with Alzheimer’s disease (ADRD); the number is expected to double by 2050. Arizona will experience the greatest percent increase in ADRD by 2025. This project targeted three underserved groups in order to expand Arizona’s dementia capable system: people living alone with ADRD; people with Down Syndrome or another intellectual/developmental disability (DS/IDD) aging with ADRD and their family caregivers; and people with ADRD and their caregivers in the Latino community. This presentation describes the development and delivery of the project’s educational workshops, case management services, and evidence-based programs. Over 2,220 participants have participated in workshops to date with the largest percentage being case managers, care coordinators, and discharge planners. Evaluations have been extremely positive with 86.1% being “very likely” to recommend the project to others. The presentation concludes with findings and lessons learned regarding the delivery of the project’s evidence-based programs and case management services.

Abstract:

The ONWARD Project is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to sharing the stories and materials associated with the Rainbow Bridge-Monument Valley Expedition (RBMVE), a 1930s multidisciplinary expedition through the Southwest. This case study will explore The ONWARD Project’s strategies and experiences in compensating for the lack of Native voices and perspectives in the archival materials from the RBMVE. Discussion is framed around experiences with seeking the identities of unnamed people in historical photographs through community outreach at the 2016 Navajo Nation Fair in Window Rock, Arizona. This paper addresses the way in which The ONWARD Project has developed and implemented a collaborative methodology meant to work against lasting effects of colonialism found in archives and specifically, how it brings Native voices back to photographic material.

Abstract:

Background Via the reauthorization of the Higher Education Act (HEA), stronger accountability proponents are now knocking on the doors of the colleges of education that prepare teachers and, many argue, prepare teachers ineffectively. This is raising questions about how effective and necessary teacher education programs indeed are. While research continues to evidence that teachers have a large impact on student achievement, the examination of teacher education programs is a rational backward mapping of understanding how teachers impact students. Nonetheless, whether and how evaluations of teacher education programs should be conducted is yet another hotly debated issue in the profession. Purpose The purpose of this project is to describe how one of the largest teacher education programs in the nation has taken a lead position toward evaluating itself, and has begun to take responsibility for its impact on the public school system. This research also presents the process of establishing a self-evaluation initiative across the state of Arizona and provides a roadmap for how other colleges and universities might begin a similar process. Setting and Participants This work focuses on the Teacher Preparation Research and Evaluation Project (T-PREP) that spawned via the collaborative efforts among the deans and representative faculty from Arizona State University (ASU), Northern Arizona University (NAU), and the University of Arizona (UofA). The colleges of education located within each respective university are the colleges that train the vast majority of educators in the state of Arizona. Participants also included other key stakeholders in the state of Arizona, including the deans and representative faculty from the aforementioned colleges of education, leaders representing the Arizona Department of Education (ADE), and other key leaders and constituents involved in the state's education system (e.g., the state's union and school board leaders and representatives). Research Design This serves as a case study example of how others might conduct such self-examinations at the collaborative and the institutional level, as well as more local levels. Conclusions This work resulted in a set of seven “beyond excuses” imperatives that participants involved in the T-PREP consortium developed and participants at the local level carried forward. The seven key imperatives are important for other colleges of education to consider as they too embark on pathways toward examining their teacher education programs and using evaluation results in both formative and summative ways.

Abstract:

Collaborative partnerships are a useful approach to improve health conditions of disadvantaged populations. The Ventanillas de Salud (VDS) (“Health Windows”) and Mobile Health Units (MHUs) are a collaborative initiative of the Mexican government and US public health organizations that use mechanisms such as health fairs and mobile clinics to provide health information, screenings, preventive measures (eg, vaccines), and health services to Mexican people, other Hispanic people, and underserved populations (eg, American Indian/Alaska Native people, geographically isolated people, uninsured people) across the United States. From 2013 through 2019, the VDS served 10.5 million people (an average of 1.5 million people per year) at Mexican consulates in the United States, and MHUs served 115 461 people from 2016 through 2019. We describe 3 community outreach projects and their impact on improving the health of Hispanic people in the United States. The first project is an ongoing collaboration between VDS and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to address occupational health inequities among Hispanic people. The second project was a collaboration between VDS and CDC to provide Hispanic people with information about Zika virus infection and health education. The third project is a collaboration between MHUs and the University of Arizona to provide basic health services to Hispanic communities in Pima and Maricopa counties, Arizona. The VDS/MHU model uses a collaborative approach that should be further assessed to better understand its impact on both the US-born and non–US-born Hispanic population and the public at large in locations where it is implemented.

Abstract:

A project was undertaken to examine how pavement management and related data in various state departments of transportation (DOTs) can be used to evaluate the performance of new materials and to validate new design concepts. Evaluation of the performance of Superpave® was used as an ideal example for demonstrating the potential. No performance analyses have been presented to date. The project started with fact-finding visits to the DOTs of Maryland, Florida, Indiana, Arizona, and Washington. From the findings, a Pathfinder study was coordinated for Maryland, where all required data from seven Superpave projects were collected, transferred to an electronic file, and subsequently entered into a web-based system, developed by the University of Washington, where the data could be analyzed. The project results show that it is possible for state DOTs to assemble a database that can be used to evaluate the performance of Superpave and other design and new materials concepts. The project was not large or long enough to make a complete evaluation, but it did determine the feasibility of the concept and its applicability among five states.

Abstract:

Owners in the State of Minnesota have a ten-year history of implementing the Best Value (BV) approach utilizing the Performance Information Procurement System (PIPS) with the Performance Based Studies Research Group (PBSRG) at Arizona State University (ASU). The University of Minnesota started testing and implementing in 2005. Other users quickly followed. By 2015, over 400 projects valued at approximately $500M had been delivered using the Best Value process. The results of the BV test projects validated the industry structure analysis concepts and results from another longitudinal study performed by the U.S. Army Medical Command (MEDCOM). The paper also discusses the modifications in the BV approach during the ten-year development. The research conclusions include the following: identified the owner and owner’s representatives as the major source of project risk (time and cost deviation); the identification of professional designers as a source of risk; contractors selected by the BV approach was the smallest source of project risk; and a paradigm shift is required to optimize the delivery of construction services. This paper concludes with a case study on a large construction renovation project with the Best Value minimizing project cost by the contractor thinking in the best interest of the client.

Abstract:

The impact of alternative project delivery methods (APDM) was compared with that of the traditional method of design–bid–build (DBB) on the long-term performance of transportation projects. The metric used to quantify long-term performance differences between projects is the international roughness index (IRI), which is an indicator of ride quality. Data were collected on four alternative delivery projects on the National Highway System in Arizona and Colorado, along with data on their comparable DBB projects. Two of the projects provided northbound and southbound data and their respective comparisons, so six pairs of projects were investigated. In the study of the IRI time series, five of the six APDM projects were found to perform better than their traditional counterparts. This exploratory study contributes to the body of knowledge by starting to quantify the impact of APDM on the actual long-term performance of transportation projects.

Abstract:

Carolyn Heinrich, Laurence Lynn, and Carolyn Hill are public management and policy scholars who puzzle over the workings of government. Their efforts aim not only to add to our understanding of these workings but also to provide a template for future study. The first volume by Heinrich and Lynn is designed around a set of working papers originally introduced at a conference of government and policy scholars in May 1999 at the University of Arizona, and are oft referred to as “the Arizona papers.” The publication is the result of a research project funded by the Pew Charitable Trusts to study best practices in government management. The second volume authored by Lynn, Heinrich, and Hill argues for a theoretical framework to guide future research.

Abstract:

AbstractThe Arizona Twin Project is an ongoing longitudinal study designed to elucidate gene–environment interplay underlying the development of risk and resilience to common mental and physical health problems during infancy, childhood and adolescence. Specificity of risk is carefully examined across mental and physical health and how these influences vary across socioeconomic and sociocultural environments. Participants are a sample of approximately 700 twins (31% Latinx) recruited from birth records in the state of Arizona, USA. Twins are 32% monozygotic twins, 36% same-sex dizygotic (DZ), 32% opposite-sex DZ, currently 10–11 years of age. Primary caregivers were interviewed on twins’ development and early physical and social environments when twins were 1, 2 and 5 years of age. In-depth objective measurement commenced in middle childhood, with in-person assessments at 8–11 years of age, with plans to continue to follow the sample across adolescence. Middle childhood measures focus on children’s physical and mental health, including diurnal cortisol, actigraphy-based measures of sleep and activity, cold pressor task assessing acute pain, and reaction time tasks assessing executive functioning. Preliminary findings illustrate that objective assessments of children’s health are highly heritable, but they do not always share genetic etiology with more commonly used subjective assessments. Exposure to early adversity moderates genetic influences on both executive functioning and health, with higher heritability typically seen under adverse conditions. Future directions include an examination of how pubertal stage affects genetic and environmental influences on diurnal cortisol, sleep, chronic pain, and mental health.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTIn locales where much of the archaeological record has been destroyed or heavily impacted by pothunting and development, engaging with collector informants—including those who legally excavated sites on private property in the 1980s—can help fill crucial information gaps. However, such collaboration can pose ethical, and potentially legal, challenges. In this article, I outline research goals and results from a survey project in southeast Arizona's York-Duncan Valley, discuss the legal and ethical implications involved in working with former pothunters, and offer a critical evaluation of project practice. Finally, I offer a set of recommendations for those considering similar collaborations. I argue that the rejection of individuals who are knowledgeable about damaged or destroyed archaeological sites effectively silences the sites forever. Data acquired from former pothunters led to the identification and recording of 25 of 87 archaeological sites in the York-Duncan Valley. These individuals also served as interlocutors with others in the local community, helping us foster the trusted relationships necessary to promote site preservation on private property. A long-term engagement strategy that incorporates an assessment determining whether collector informants are responsible or responsive and that nurtures community involvement in preserving local archaeology offers a more productive course of action.

Abstract:

The University of Arizona Funds of Knowledge for Teaching Project is part of a long tradition in applied educational anthropology that seeks to improve the experiences of non-mainstream, or "culturally different," students in schools. Unlike most previous work, however, this project engages the "natives" directly in the practice of ethnography. Here, teachers and to a lesser extent parents and students collect information, develop interpretations of data, and formulate applications. Anthropologists remain necessary and vital resources, to be sure, but the insights of "being there," knowing what insiders actually do, and experiencing life with them belong to the teachers.
