The entire Peninsular Malaysia is situated on Sunda Tectonic Plate, which is subjected to motion at a prominent rate. All the geodetic infrastructures, including geodetic markers, benchmarks, Continuous Operating Reference Stations and Cadastral Reference Marks have moved away from their original position, and their existing coordinates are no longer reliable and secure to use. There are 10 geodetic markers around UTM that are subjected to the issue above. This study aims to redefine new geodetic and plane coordinates on UTM geodetic markers. Two units of Trimble NetR9 Geodetic Type Receiver are used to execute 3D GNSS Control Network on geodetic markers as well as Standard Benchmarks. Receiver Independent Exchange data of Continuous Operating Reference Stations and gravimetric geoid of MyGeoid model are retrieved from Department of Survey and Mapping Malaysia. Trimble Business Center, Golden Surfer 8 and StarNet are used as post-processing, geoid interpolation and one-dimensional network adjustment software, respectively. New sets of geodetic and plane coordinates along with orthometric heights are produced for these 10 geodetic markers. Eventually, UTM geodetic markers are tied to Geocentric Datum Malaysia 2000 (2016) and National Geodetic Vertical Datum, providing reliable horizontal and vertical reference for land surveying work to fulfil both industrial and educational purposes.Keywords: Coordinate redefinition, geodetic coordinate, plane coordinate, geodetic marker

AbstractThe immersed tunnel which is composed of elements has drawn more attention nowadays because of new advancements and developments. The elements are prefabricated somewhere else and floated to the tunnel site to be sunk into the prepared trench. Each element must line up exactly for the watertight gaskets to seal properly. The HZM immersed tunnel, a key part of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge (HZMB) that crosses the Pearl River Estuary and links Hong Kong to the east, and Zhuhai and Macao to the west, is 6.7 km long, one of the longest immersed tunnel ever realized in the world. For the construction of such a mega immersed tunnel, particular care should be taken in the perspective of geodetic control. This paper described the design and implementation of the geodetic basis and hierarchical surface control networks. And to decrease the influence of lateral refraction and to improve the configuration strength and increase the number of redundant observation compared with traverse, the design of underground surveying network named duo-linear joint chain and the results of gyro checks are presented. In the end HZM immersed tunnel surveying data is analyzed and the performance of the control networks is demonstrated.

The largest agricultural industry in New Jersey is the commercial landscape/nursery/turfgrass industry; it is also one of the highest users of pesticides. In the lawn care industry alone, >906,000 lb of pesticides (active ingredients) were used in 1990. A proven way to commercially reduce pesticide usage while maintaining landscape quality is through Landscape Integrated Pest Management (LIPM) tactics; however, adoption of LIPM nationally has been slow. In 1994–95, a survey of 525 landscape contractors, arborists, groundskeepers, and turfgrass professionals was conducted to determine attitudes towards adoption of LIPM tactics. Customer perceptions, products utilized, educational needs, and attitudes toward alternative control tactics were assessed. Results show the majority of landscapers do not wish to spray pesticides, and do utilize good horticultural methods. However, purchasing traditional pesticide products that are cost-effective and proven are favored relative to environmentally “safe” and new. Concerns constraining LIPM adoption include potential for customer dissatisfaction, recovering monitoring costs, increased knowledge requirement for LIPM tactics, and fear of inadequate control.

In 1993-94, a survey of 425 landscape contractors, arborists, groundskeepers, nurserymen, and turfgrass professionals was taken to determine attitudes toward adoption of LIPM tactics. Business changes, marketing, customer perceptions, educational needs, and attitudes toward alternative control tactics were assessed. Results show that the majority of landscapers are interested in LIPM for personal reasons, to reduce their own contact with pesticides. Contractors favor pesticide products that are cost effective and proven as opposed to environmentally “safe.” Concerns inhibiting LIPM adoption include potential customer dissatisfaction, recovering monitoring costs, and inadequate control. Challenges lie ahead in pest identification and control education, marketing programs, delays in profits, and writing bids.

Vaccine hesitancy continues to be prevalent in the United States, especially in relation to the COVID-19 vaccines and its boosters, which have been made increasingly available for public use as the pandemic has progressed. There continues to be concern surrounding the safety and health of secondary or high school education professionals as they transition back to in-person learning and working opportunities. The present study highlights how information dissemination regarding the COVID-19 vaccine has varied among New Jersey secondary or high school teachers throughout the pandemic. The survey was completed online through the PsychData platform by 269 participants between March and July 2022. Participants received the opportunity to complete the survey via email. Afterwards, data were exported and analyzed using Microsoft Excel and SAS 9.4 Analytics Software and stratified by various clinical and demographic-based variables. While trusted agencies and media outlets identified by participants varied, most participants identified the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (65.4%), primary care providers (37.5%), and state health departments (28.6%) as their top trusted sources for information related to COVID-19 vaccines. Overall, COVID-19 vaccination advocacy and educational efforts should continue across the state of New Jersey and elsewhere, especially as more variants emerge and boosters become available.

Background.In 2002, federal regulations authorized the use of standing orders programs (SOPs) for promoting influenza and pneumococcal vaccination. In 2003, the New Jersey Hospital Association conducted a demonstration project illustrating the efficacy of SOPs, and the state health department informed healthcare facilities of their benefits. We describe the prevalence of reported use of SOPs in New Jersey hospitals in 2003 and 2005 and identify hospital characteristics associated with the use of SOPs.Methods.A survey was mailed to the directors of infection control at 117 New Jersey hospitals during the period from January to May 2005 (response rate, 90.6%). Data on hospital characteristics were obtained from hospital directories and online resources.Results.The prevalence of use of SOPs for influenza vaccination was 50% (95% confidence interval [CI], 40.1%-59.9%) in 2003, and it increased to 78.3% (95% CI, 69.2%-85.7%) in 2005. The prevalence of SOP use for pneumococcal vaccination was similar. In 2005, the reported rate of use of SOPs for inpatients (influenza vaccination, 76.4%; pneumococcal vaccination, 75.5%) was significantly higher than that for outpatients (influenza vaccination, 9.4%; pneumococcal vaccination, 8.5%). Prevalence ratios for SOP use comparing acute care and non-acute care hospitals were 1.71 (95% CI, 1.2-2.5) for influenza vaccination SOPs and 1.8 for (95% CI, 1.2-2.7) pneumococcal vaccination SOPs. Acute care hospitals with a ratio of admissions to total beds greater than 36.7 reported greater use of SOPs for pneumococcal vaccination, compared with those that had a ratio of less than 36.7.Conclusion.The increase in the prevalence of reported use of SOPs among New Jersey hospitals in 2005, compared with 2003, was contemporaneous with SOP-related actions taken by the federal government, the state government, and the New Jersey Hospital Association. Opportunities persist for increased use of SOPs among non-acute care hospitals and for outpatients.

Railway facilities are responsible and complex structures related to the safety ofpassenger traffic and cargo transportation. To ensure the reliability of all systems, the railway trackneeds continual control of its geometric parameters. Railways require high accuracy of survey andmonitoring both at the construction stage and at the operation stage. Such control can be carried outusing control points of the geodetic benchmark network. These control points must be located nearthe railway track to provide it in the design position and in proper working condition. That is whythe development of "own" railways benchmark network is topical.The purpose of this article is to create a mathematical basis for calculating the locations ofown repers near the railway. These benchmarks will be control points that will be used by track-operation stations, track machine stations, engineering and geodetic departments, track-surveyingstations, services and departments, as well as project and construction organizations duringresearch, design, operation, repair, reconstruction, or new construction. This will keep the track ingood condition and be used for leveling the track during repair work. The paper considers thecalculation method for the placement of control points of the conditional benchmark network on thecurved section of the railway. The novelty is the usage of the mean-value theorem of integral calculusto calculate the coordinates of the curve independently of the national geodetic network. The creationof "own" conditional benchmark network allows railways to perform the pegging of lines and curvesregardless of the presence or remoteness of control points of the local or state geodetic network. Afterchoosing a conditional benchmark, the coordinates of the railway curve, which is divided into 5 parts,were calculated. It is shown that the number of points does not affect the accuracy of determining thecoordinates. Thus, fewer rappers can be dispensed, and the speed of the pegging will increase. Thepolar coordinates for the two polar distances from the conventional benchmark have been determined. It is established that the use of the mean-value theorem of the integral calculus to findthe coordinates of a point gives more accurate data, since this method does not involve replacing thearc with a chord. The described method of determining polar coordinates from any point of one'sown network of conditional benchmarks is of practical importance. After deviating the axis of thetrack from the movement of trains, maintenance workers can put it back without additionalcalculation.

Slope failures and landslides cause economic damage and deaths worldwide. These losses can be minimized by integrating different methodologies, instruments, and data monitoring to predict future landslides. In the constantly growing metropolitan area of Cluj-Napoca, Romania, changes in land cover, land use, and build-up areas are an issue. The unprecedented urban sprawl pushed the city limits from the Somes River to hilly terrain prone to landslides and erosion. This study focuses on a landslide-prone area where a previous slope failure caused significant economic losses. It combines topo-geodetic measurements, UAV monitoring of surface displacement, GIS spatial analysis, ground-penetrating radar investigations, and geotechnical assessment. Two years of data show that the slope is undergoing surface erosion, with soil displacements of a few centimeters. Geodetic monitoring of the retaining wall’s control points indicates a small rotation. Coupled with georadar profile imaging showing changes in soil and rock layers with an uplift trend, it was deduced that the area suffers from a global instability. The findings provide valuable information about the dynamics of landslides and erosion for forecasting future movements and developing preventative strategies based on a new methodology that combines affordable and prevalent instrumentation and techniques.

Live virus vaccines can cause serious adverse reactions when administered to immunocompromised patients. Because children infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) may be immunosuppressed, immunization of these children with live virus vaccines is a potential problem. A retrospective survey was conducted by the New York City Department of Health, with consultation from the Centers for Disease Control, to evaluate the frequency of serious adverse events following receipt of live vaccines among children with HIV infection receiving pediatric care in New York City and New Jersey. Outpatient records of 319 children being cared for by 16 participating physicians were reviewed. Of the 319 charts, 221 (69%) contained vaccination histories. Perinatal transmission of HIV infection was suspected for 208 (94%) of the 221 cases and infection via transfusion for the remaining 13 (6%). Of the 221 for whom immunization histories were available, 180 (81%) had received at least one dose of live oral polio vaccine and 70 (32%) had received measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine. There were 120 children for whom a temporal relationship between immunization and onset of symptoms of immunodeficiency could be seen; 46/120 had received at least one dose of oral polio vaccine and 23/45 had received measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine after onset of symptoms. Although follow-up of this population has been limited, there were no reports of serious adverse events such as typical or atypical measles, paralytic poliomyelitis, or aseptic meningitis in the month following vaccination. New York City Department of Health and New Jersey State Department of Health surveillance records for adverse vaccine events following immunization support these findings; no child with vaccine-associated illness was noted to have acquired immunodeficiency syndrome or related illness for the period 1979 to 1986. No evidence was noted of serious adverse reactions following receipt of live virus vaccines in HIV-infected children.

Background: As the world grapples with the pandemic of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), it is important to consider the full impact of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) on healthcare delivery. Evidence from outbreaks of novel H1N1 and Ebola indicates that response to these types of outbreaks requires extraordinary resources, which are diverted from routine infection prevention and control activities. However, little is known about the impact of COVID-19 on adherence to patient safety protocols in hospitals, including infection prevention and control activities. We have described the reports of acute-care registered nurses (RNs) in adhering to patient safety protocols while delivering care to COVID-19 patients. Methods: In October 2020, we conducted a cross-sectional electronic survey of all active RNs in the state of New Jersey who provided direct patient care in a New Jersey hospital in an emergency or adult inpatient unit during the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Results: More than 3,027 RNs participated in the survey, for a 15% response rate based on number of eligible RNs. Moreover, 15% of respondents reported that they tested positive for COVID-19 during the initial peak of COVID-19 in New Jersey (March–June 2020). Most RNs reported that the number of patients they were assigned during the first peak of the pandemic affected their ability to adhere to patient safety protocols (eg, deep-vein thrombosis screening, central-line bundles, pressure ulcer prevention). In open-ended responses, they shared that being understaffed, the extra time it took for downing and doffing of PPE, the lack of access to ancillary staff (ie nursing assistants, runners), and the need to cluster care affected the quality of care. A nurse working in the intensive care unit (ICU) lamented, “We were sometimes given 4–5 ICU patients who were very sick and required a lot of care. Shortcuts had to be taken to prioritize the most important needs. Sometimes IVs remained longer than desired. Foleys remained in longer. To avoid PPE shortages, we didn’t go into the rooms nearly as much as we normally would, [and] things got missed.” Feelings of being overwhelmed and helpless permeated the nurses’ comments. Conclusions: When caring for COVID-19 patients, frontline nurses struggled with adherence to necessary patient safety protocols, which ultimately disrupted care delivery. Future research should quantify the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic affected care delivery, including adherence to patient safety protocols among frontline providers.Funding: NoDisclosures: None

New technical developments, growing applications and requests for higher accuracy in georeferencing of national reference frame raise a demand on high accuracy National Terrestrial Reference Frame based on Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) and other space geodetic techniques. Since the last decades many countries decided to switch main geodetic control points from triangulation points to Continuously Operating Reference Stations (CORS). This task is currently undertaken by the geodetic authority of Mongolia in collaboration with research and private organizations. The first continuous Global Positioning System (GPS) station in Mongolia became operational in the late 1995 for the global geodetic scientific applications. Since 1997 the survey-mode GPS observations were utilized in Mongolia for crustal deformation studies and for re-survey of the national triangulation network. During the years 2011-2013 CORS network of nearly 18 stations has been built to modernize the old geodetic network. Currently the total number of the reference stations counts to nearly 40. Since Mongolia is located in the tectonically active region, its geodetic reference frame is continuously deforming, which requires regular updates of reference frame. In this paper we discuss the technical issues of the national reference frame of Mongolia considering the crustal deformation of Mongolia and the data management of the national CORS network.

AbstractObjective:To characterize risk factors for invasive pneumococcal infection in a nursing home outbreak.Design:Outbreak investigation, case-control study.Setting:A 114-bed nursing home in New Jersey.Participants:Case-patients were nursing home residents hospitalized with febrile respiratory illness and radiographic findings consistent with pneumonia, and either sputum specimens positive for diplococci or blood cultures positive for Streptococcus pneumoniae, with illness onset during April 3-24, 2001. Control-patients were selected randomly from remaining residents without respiratory symptoms.Methods:Chart reviews were performed for case-patients and control-patients. Serotyping and susceptibility testing were performed on S. pneumoniae isolates. Long-term-care facilities (LTCFs) were surveyed to assess compliance with a state regulation mandating pneumococcal vaccination of residents 65 years and older.Results:Nine case-patients were identified, with a median age of 86 years (range, 78 to 100 years). The median age of control-patients was 86 years (range, 58 to 95 years). No case-patients versus 9 (50%) control-patients received pneumococcal vaccine before the outbreak (OR, 0; CI95, 0–0.7). Recent antibiotic use, pneumonia history, and physical functioning were not associated with illness. Illness attack rate was 16% among all unvaccinated residents versus 0 among vaccinated residents. S. pneumoniae serotype 14, included in pneumococcal vaccine, was isolated from blood cultures of 7 case-patients. Of 361 LTCFs (42%) that replied to the survey, 28 (8%) were not complying with state immunization regulations.Conclusions:This outbreak occurred in an LTCF with low vaccine coverage. Implementing standing order programs, enforcing regulations, documenting vaccinations, and providing education might increase coverage among nursing home residents.

The article analyzes the general approaches to the application of modern engineering surveyingtechnologies for the needs of construction in Ukraine. The study involves a review and analysis of modern research and current regulatory requirements in the field of geodetic support of the construction process.The development of engineering surveyingin Ukraine is characterized by the lag of the current norms of geodetic support of construction from the latest measuring instruments and geodetic technologies. To improve the accuracy of work and reduce its performance time, it is necessary to use modern advances in science and technology.In case of necessity of updating of planning and cartographic material the actual question of a choice of means and technology of performance of topographic survey for drawing up of topographic plans of scale 1:500 arises. In the process of high-precision mapping of buildings and structures for the collection and processing of information requires a combination of methods of photogrammetry and analytical methods of geoinformatics.Electronic automatic sensors of deviations of structures from vertical and horizontal with the possibility of remote data transmission and notification of exceeding the permissible deviations of the control parameter are used to measure the relative position of individual structures of complex structures and operational tracking of deformation displacements.At the present stage of development of construction technologies it is necessary to take into account and correctly assess the impact of the widest possible range of external factors on the accuracy of geodetic works.One of the main tasks of today's engineering surveyingin general is to develop new algorithms and means of communication for surveyors and builders for rapid transmission of information, timely analysis of real-time measurement results and making necessary adjustments to the construction process.Research related to the development of software modules to automatically take into account the impact of various sources of error in the results of geodetic measurements requires further development.The article is a publication of scientific and methodical character.

Airborne gravimetry represents nowadays probably the most efficient technique to collect gravity observations close to the Earth’s surface. In the 1990s, thanks to the development of the Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), which has made accurate navigational data available, this technique started to spread worldwide because of its capability to provide measurements in a fast and cost-effective way. Differently from other techniques such as shipborne gravimetry, it has the advantage to provide gravity measurements also in challenging environments which can be difficult to access otherwise, like mountainous areas, rain forests and polar regions. For such reasons, airborne gravimetry is used for various applications related to the regional gravity field modelling: from the computation of high accurate local geoid for geodetic applications to geophysical ones, specifically related to oil and gas exploration activities or more in general for regional geological studies. Depending on the different kinds of application and the final required accuracy, the definition of the main characteristics of the airborne survey, e.g., the planar distance between consecutive flight tracks, the aircraft velocity, etc., can be a difficult task. In this work, we present a new software package, which would help in properly accomplishing the survey design task. Basically, the developed software solution allows for generating a realistic (from the observation noise point of view) gravimetric signal, and, after that, to predict the accuracy and spatial resolution of the final retrievable gravimetric field, in terms of gravity disturbances, given the flight main characteristics. The proposed procedure is suited for airborne survey planning in order to be able to optimize the design of the survey according to the required final accuracy. With the aim to evaluate the influence of the various survey parameters on the expected accuracy of the airborne survey, different numerical tests have been performed on simulated and real datasets. For instance, it has been shown that if the observation noise is not properly modeled in the data filtering step, the survey results degrade about 25%, while not acquiring control lines during the survey will basically reduce the final accuracy by a factor of two.

Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine is an important intervention to control the COVID-19 pandemic. As the most trusted profession integral to providing care to patients across all care settings, nurses play a critical role in educating patients regarding the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine. However, little is known about the readiness of registered nurses (RNs) to receive the vaccine. Methods: In October 2020, prior to FDA approval of vaccines, we conducted a cross-sectional electronic survey of all active registered nurses in the state of New Jersey. The eligibility criteria included providing direct patient care in a New Jersey hospital in an emergency or an adult inpatient unit during the emergence of COVID-19 (March 2020). Results: In total, 3,027 RNs completed the survey (15% response rate). When asked whether they plan to get vaccinated, 27% of RNs responded yes, 30% responded no, and 43% were undecided. Among those RNs who reported that they were planning to get vaccinated, their main reasons for their willingness to receive the vaccine included (1) wanting to protect themselves and their families (95%), (2) wanting to protect the community at large (76%), wanting to protect their patients (75%), the belief that life won’t get back to normal until most people are vaccinated (72%), and the belief that getting vaccinated is the best way to avoid getting seriously ill from COVID-19 (67%). The main reasons reported for not planning to or being undecided about getting vaccinated included the belief that the vaccine will likely be developed too quickly to be safe (81%) and concern about the side effects from the vaccine (74%). RNs also reported being in a low-risk group for becoming seriously ill (12%) and having had COVID-19 (8%) as reasons for planning not to get vaccinated. In open-ended responses, participants also discussed several additional issues driving vaccine hesitancy: their lack of trust in the political process, planning to become pregnant or currently pregnant or breastfeeding, questions about effectiveness of the vaccine and long-term side effects, and the need for more information before making a decision. Conclusions: This cross-sectional study of all acute-care RNs in the State of New Jersey was conducted prior to the FDA approval of COVID-19 vaccines. The results outline factors driving vaccine hesitancy among RNs. Although vaccine efficacy data and approval by the FDA may have alleviated some of these fears, immunization programs for healthcare workers and the public should focus on dispelling myths about vaccine development and side effects.Funding: NoDisclosures: None

The need for rapid deployment of aerial and satellite imagery in support of GIS and engineering integration projects require new sources of geodetic control to ensure the accuracy for geospatial projects. In the past, teams of surveyors would need to deploy to project areas to provide targeted or photo identifiable points that are used to provide data for orthorecificaion, QA/QC and calibration for multi-platform sensors. The challenge of integrating street view, UAS, airborne and Space based sensors to produce the common operational picture requires control to tie multiple sources together. Today commercial off the shelf delivery of existing photo identifiable control is increasing the speed of deployment of this data without having to revisit sites over and over again. The presentation will discuss the processes developed by CompassData to build a global library of 40,000 control points available today. International Organization for Standardization (ISO) based processes and initiatives ensure consistent quality of survey data, photo identifiable features selected and meta data to support photogrammetrist, engineers and GIS professionals to quickly deliver projects with better accuracy.

The current state of the International Hydrographic organization bathymetric survey Standards S44 (6.1.0) is examined in this study. The introduction of the S44 survey Standards fourth edition in 1998 heralded the beginning of a new era of modern digital hydrography based on the concept of the survey orders resulting from implementation of the Global Navigation Satellite Systems of positioning and hydrographic information systems. The fundamental changes between the 4th and 6th editions of the Standards for Hydrographic Surveys (S-44) are described. The differences between the 5th and 6th editions of the Standards for Hydrographic Surveys (S-44) are evaluated. Particular attention is paid to the conceptual evolution of such definitions as “bathymetric model” and “ features detection”. The main new S44 (6.1.0) survey Standards paradigm became the concept of “bathymetric coverage” and the rejection of the “ full sea floor coverage” concept which was introduced in the previous 5th edition. Introducing the “bathymetric coverage” and “ feature search” notions in the 6th S44 (2022) survey Standards provides the possibility to avoid the implementation of such previously important hydrographic definition as “line spacing”. It is especially emphasized that the introduction and combined application of such definitions as “bathymetric coverage”, “ feature detection” and “ feature search” necessitate the usage in the 6th S44 (2022) survey Standards of the new special tool named “specification matrix”. This tool is important for hydrographic survey drafting taking into consideration the various stakeholder requirements as well as providing a short hydrographic survey description. The introduction of gridding concept in hydrography provided in the S44 (6.1.0) survey Standards for the first time is also mentioned. Critical comments on the interpretation of gridding methods provided in the annex D which are not considered as the part of the Standards are presented. Some recommendations concerning general quality control requirements and survey posteriori quality control provided in the annex C and B are also commented on. It should be especially emphasized that three last editions of S44 Standards use the “standard deviation” term without specifying its confidence level for position uncertainty (Total Horizontal Uncertainty — THU) calculation. The position uncertainty (2D) quantities are stated as “standard deviation” multiplied by coefficient 2.45. The “standard deviation” term needs additional explanation and clarification; it should not be confused with the widely used term «position standard deviation =distance root mean squared». It is also pointed out the insufficient study of the 3D hydrographic technology provisions presented in the 6th S44 survey Standards edition associated with the alternative method of sea level correction determination based on the precise ellipsoid (geodetic) heights measurements of the tide gauges benchmarks and chart datum using GNSS observations. The necessity of inclusion of the requirements for survey posteriori quality control as the result of survey data post-processing, using statistical comparison of check lines crossing the regular lines, is substantiated. Finally, the urgency of developing new Russian hydrographic standards and specifications based on IHO S44 (6.1.0) on the basis of modern technology is emphasized.

Cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon) fruit were collected as part of a fruit rot survey conducted in September 2010 on farms in New Jersey and Massachusetts. There are more than 20 fungal species reported as causing fruit rot (2) and symptoms are generally not diagnostic. The rotted fruit were surface sterilized in a 10% bleach solution for 5 min, sliced in half, and plated on V8 agar (nonclarified). A novel, fast-growing fungus that produced sporulating orange-brown colonies emerged from 5% of the fruit collected on three of the farms included in the survey. The fungus was notable as the only species present in the rotted fruit, suggesting it may be pathogenic. The conidia were produced as gloeoid masses on phialidic conidiogenous cells arranged in a polyverticillate penicillus. The conidiogenous cells were subtended at variable distances by zero to four sterile appendages that formed on the lightly pigmented conidiophore. On the basis of these characteristics, the fungus was identified as a species of Gliocephalotrichum (3). Further investigation of the growth medium revealed the presence of clustered, red-brown chlamydospores that were produced abundantly in all isolates. These structures, also known as bulbils, are restricted to two species in the genus, G. bulbilium and G. longibrachium (1). On average, the bulbils were 42.0 × 48.3 μm and conidia were 5.75 × 2.5 μm. On the basis of size and shape of conidia and presence of bulbils, the isolates were identified as G. bulbilium (1). To confirm the identity of the fungus, genomic DNA was extracted and ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 and the 5′ end of the β-tubulin gene were amplified and sequenced (1). The sequences (GenBank Accession Nos. HQ828060 and HQ828061) were compared with published sequences of Gliocephalotrichum isolates (1) and results confirmed the cranberry isolates were G. bulbilium. The isolates were tested for pathogenicity on harvested cranberry fruit. Fifty ripe cranberry fruit (cv. Stevens) were inoculated by injecting approximately 20 μl (using a 26G 9.5-mm needle) of conidia (1 × 105 ml–1) into the side of each berry. As a comparison, isolates of two common cranberry fruit rot pathogens, Colletotrichum acutatum and C. gloeosporioides, were inoculated on to fruit using the same technique. A water-only inoculation was used as the control. Fruit rot developed on all inoculated fruit except the water control. In the case of G. bulbilium, all fruit rotted within 2 days, whereas the other two species developed symptoms within 4 to 7 days. G. bulbilium and both species of Colletotrichum were consistently reisolated from all of the respectively inoculated fruit. To our knowledge, this is the first report of G. bulbilium causing fruit rot on cranberry. The species has been reported as an important postharvest fruit rot (4) on rambutan (Nephelium lappaceum) in Thailand, rambutan and guava (Psidium guajava) in Hawaii, and durian (Durio spp.) in Brunei Darussalam. This report of G. bulbilium extends the range within the United States to include Louisiana, Hawaii, Wisconsin, West Virginia, New Jersey, and Massachusetts (2). References: (1) C. Decock et al.

Abstract The existing Polish gravity control (POGK) established in the last few years of 20th century according to the international standards is spanned on 12 absolute gravity stations surveyed with four different types of absolute gravimeters. Relative measurements performed by various groups on nearly 350 points of POGK with the use of LaCoste&Romberg (LCR) gravimeters were linked to those 12 stations. The construction of the network, in particular the limited number of non homogeneously distributed absolute gravity stations with gravity determined with different instruments in different epochs is responsible for systematic errors in g on POGK stations. The estimate of those errors with the use of gravity measurements performed in 2007-2008 is given and their possible sources are discussed. The development of absolute gravity measurement technologies, in particular instruments for precise field absolute gravity measurements, provides an opportunity to establish new type of gravity control consisting of stations surveyed with absolute gravimeters. New gravity control planned to be established in 2012-2014 will consist of 28 fundamental points (surveyed with the FG5 - gravimeter), and 169 base points (surveyed with the A10 gravimeter). It will fulfill recent requirements of geodesy and geodynamics and it will provide good link to the existing POGK. A number of stations of the new gravity control with precisely determined position and height will form the national combined geodetic network. Methodology and measurement schemes for both absolute gravimeters as well as the technology for vertical gravity gradient determinations in the new gravity control were developed and tested. The way to assure proper gravity reference level with relation to ICAG and ECAG campaigns as well as local absolute gravimeter comparisons are described highlighting the role of metrology in the project. Integral part of the project are proposals of re-computation of old gravity data and their transformation to a new system (as 2nd order network) as well as a definition of gravity system as “zero-tide” system. Seasonal variability of gravity has been discussed indicating that the effects of environmental changes when establishing modern gravity control with absolute gravity survey cannot be totally neglected.

Abstract In an update of earlier surveys conducted in Connecticut and New Jersey in the mid-1990s, an online survey of private commercial pest control firms engaged in residential tick control showed that the application of synthetic acaricides continues to be the primary method of control used. The carbamate and organophospate acaricides, previously the most commonly used against ticks, have given way to synthetic pyrethroids and, to a lesser extent, the use of natural product/organic acaricides. Typical costs for a single acaricide application today ($100–$200 for a 1 acre [0.4 ha] property) remain similar to those reported from the earlier surveys, although the frequency of applications and, therefore, also the overall annual cost has increased. The application habitats within residential properties, life stages targeted, and application equipment used have not changed appreciably since the mid-1990s. While most survey respondents expressed knowledge of natural product acaricides and Damminix Tick Tubes, many reported that they either did not employ or knew very little about other alternative tick control methods (including entomopathogenic fungus and topical application of acaricides to tick hosts via 4-Poster deer treatment stations or Select TCS rodent bait boxes). This suggests either a failure to adequately inform the pest management industry and their potential client base of the availability of alternate methods, and/or industry concerns about cost and effectiveness of the alternatives.

To assess the condition of the instrument array at the Aksu field, the earth's surface has been monitored since 2018. The territory of the mining and technical facilities of the Aksu deposit is characterized by a varying degree of complexity of the relief and a variety of the structure of the composing rocks. At the first stage, instrumental geodetic monitoring was organized to identify active deformations on the object under study using observation profile lines located in the zone of Earth surface movements. Based on the monitoring results, an assessment of the condition of the instrument array of the deposit was carried out and decisions were made on systematic observations of the movement of the Earth's surface using digital aerial photography. A deformation monitoring program has been developed at the site under study, including a project for creating a geometric pattern of signs and a zone of possible and existing deformations has been determined. Aerial photography was carried out with the help of UAVs at intervals every half a year starting in 2020. According to the results of aerial survey, local zones of new deformations on the earth's surface were obtained, as a result of mining underground work at the Aksu mine. Monitoring continues, the next flight of aerial photography is planned for May-June 2022.

A survey of the sexual behaviour of gonorrhoea patients in Newark was undertaken to evaluate parameters within a model of gonorrhoea transmission. Modelling work aimed to explain observed epidemiological patterns and to explore the potential impact of interventions. Reported behaviours, along with values derived from the literature, were used within a standard deterministic model of gonorrhoea transmission, where the population was stratified according to sex and rates of sex–partner change. The behaviours reported, particularly among women, are insufficient by themselves to explain the continued existence of gonorrhoea within the population. The majority of symptomatic patients seek treatment within a few days, and report that they do not have unprotected sex while symptomatic. The proportion of patients with low numbers of sex partners suggests that sexual mixing between people categorized according to sexual behaviour is near random. To explain the persistence of gonorrhoea, there must be some patients who, when infected, do not seek care in public clinics. In addition, gonorrhoea incidence in the model is sensitive to change, such that very small reductions in risk behaviour could lead to its elimination. This does not accord with the observed failure of many interventions to eliminate infection, suggesting that the modelled infection is too sensitive to change. The model, which has been influential in gonorrhoea epidemiology, is not consistent with the observed epidemiology of gonorrhoea in populations. Alternative models need to explore the observed stability of gonorrhoea before robust modelling conclusions can be drawn on how best to control infection. However, the current results do highlight the potential importance of asymptomatic infections and infections in those who are diseased and do not attend public health services. Screening and contact–tracing to identify asymptomatic infections in both men and women will be more effective in reaching those who maintain the infection within the community rather than simply treating symptomatic cases.

Objective To document the number of human contacts with bait containing liquid vaccinia-rabies glycoprotein (V-RG) vaccine, to evaluate factors that might affect human contact with bait-vaccine units, and to summarize adverse reactions in people after contact with vaccine. Design Retrospective 4-year survey of directors of 6 oral rabies vaccination programs. Sample Population Human residents in areas of vaccination programs. Procedure Data were collected from report forms and telephone conversations with directors of oral rabies vaccination programs in Florida, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Texas, and New York. Data collected included information regarding human contact with bait and vaccine, sex and age of person involved in contact, human population density, bait density, type of labeling used on bait, and other factors. Results Human contact with bait was more likely in areas where bait had white labels (vs lettering in black ink) and in areas with high human population densities. Directors of all programs reported that human contact with bait-vaccine units was minimal. Adverse reactions in exposed people were not reported. On the basis of these findings, concerns about V-RG vaccine posing a substantial public health risk remain unfounded. Clinical Implications Directors of oral rabies vaccination programs should systematically collect information about exposures and potential factors affecting exposure of people to bait-vaccine units. People with substantial exposure to V-RG vaccine should be evaluated for immune status and any resulting symptoms should be documented and monitored. (J Am Vet Med Assoc 1998;213:1413-1417)

The intensification of agricultural production brings problems related to water erosion, even to the upper parts of river basins. Soil particles that have eroded from unprotected agricultural land are often deposited in small water reservoirs, the efficiency or function of which might be compromised. This study presents an analysis of changes in the retention capacity of a small water reservoir over a period of 8 years. Within the study, a detailed bathymetry of the reservoir was conducted using an acoustic Doppler current profiler. The results, when compared to a 2008 geodetic survey, showed that the retention volume of the reservoir was reduced by only 2%, which was also confirmed by mathematical modeling. The possibility of strengthening the reservoir’s role in flood protection was also investigated. A flood wave with a return period of 100 years was estimated using a design storm approach. A simple numerical model was proposed to transform the flood wave through the reservoir by considering four different scenarios of the elevation of the initial water level. The model, which is based on a water balance equation, uses simple hydraulic relationships to control the discharge through the reservoir’s outflow objects. The results demonstrate that by reducing the initial water level, significant improvements in terms of the flood peak’s attenuation and a longer time to peak values could be achieved.

AbstractThe National Spatial Reference System (NSRS) is the official coordinate system for all geospatial activities performed by civilian federal agencies of the United States, including National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's navigational charts. Two of the datums that make up the bulk of the NSRS, the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD 83) and the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88), were created with the most accurate surveying technology available in the 1970s and 1980s. However, analysis over the last decade has proven that both datums contain systematic errors at the few meters level. While there have been improvements to these datums over the years, they have all been restricted to adjusting subsets of coordinates within the datum, rather than replacing the datum itself. However, the rise of near-real-time positioning technologies at the few centimeter level has made it no longer viable to maintain the two datums.The National Geodetic Survey is engaged in a decade-long effort to prepare the NSRS user community and collect the necessary data to define two new datums that will not only replace NAD 83 and NAVD 88 but also reduce the overall reliance of those two datums on passive control. The two new datums are expected to be completed and jointly released in 2022.

Technical re-equipment of oil pumping stations often involves changing the power and weight of pumping equipment. In this regard, it is important to assess whether the replacement of a pumping unit foundation is feasible and, namely, whether the further use of existing facilities is possible, since the costs of replacing the foundations often exceed the costs of adapting existing structures to new equipment. The authors have developed a technology for examining pumping unit foundations to determine the possibility of increasing the load while replacing the equipment. Previously, no such survey has been conducted. The article presents the composition of the recommended diagnostic work, while describing the specifics and limitations of the methods used with some survey results given regarding more than 100 pump foundations. The average age of the samples was 44.9 years. As a result of geodetic measurements, the tilt and settlement values of the foundations were actually found to be free of changes over recent decades and complied with modern regulatory requirements, while the results of engineering and geological surveys have confirmed no serious risks of spatial displacements occurred. It was determined that during diagnostics it is necessary to control the following parameters: the existence of foundation waterproofing, concrete protective layer status, concrete strength and reinforced metal hardness, and whether the location of the reinforcement bars complies with the requirements of the design and/or regulatory and technical documentation. It is also necessary to make sure that there are no unacceptable corrosion damages to metal structures, with fastening and anchor bolt sizes being in compliance with the design and/or regulatory and technical documentation. The data on detected defects of various types are given taking into account the operating period and conditions of the foundations.

The proportion of mothers in the workforce has increased over the past 40 years. Examination of factors associated with a working/student mother’s milk expression is needed to provide effective lactation support. The purpose of this study was to examine the role of maternal assets in the relationships between the theory constructs, intention, and behavior of breast milk expression. Using a cross-sectional design framed under the theory of planned behavior, all female personnel associated with a higher education institute in northern New Jersey were invited to participate in the online survey, Milk Expression on Campus. Attitude toward breast milk expression, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control, intention, and behavior of breast milk expression on campus as well as maternal assets such as income, education, living status, and campus role were measured. Maternal assets had no moderation role but showed a significant and meaningful mediation effect on the relationship between perceived behavioral control and the intention to express breast milk on campus, with effect size R2=3.59%, 95% CI (-.1061, -.0047). There was no mediation effect of the asset on the relationship between intention and the behavior of breast milk expression, 95% CI (-.0984, .0232). Future breastfeeding support and promotion may direct its attention to provide systematic social and clinical support to enhance working/student maternal assets, e.g. family education, access to lactation services, or peer-based support programs, thereby helping mothers achieve their breastfeeding goals.

Background Substance use is a risk factor for COVID-19 infection and adverse outcomes. However, reasons for elevated risk for COVID-19 in substance users are not well understood. Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate whether alcohol or other drug use is associated with adherence to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines for COVID-19 mitigation. Preregistered analyses tested the hypothesis that greater use of alcohol and other drugs would be associated with lower CDC guideline adherence. A secondary objective was to determine whether substance use was associated with the likelihood of COVID-19 testing or outcome. Methods A cross-sectional web-based survey was administered to a convenience sample recruited through Amazon’s Mechanical Turk platform from June 18 to July 19, 2020. Individuals aged 18 years or older and residing in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, or Rhode Island were eligible to participate. The exposure of interest was past 7-day use of alcohol, cigarettes, electronic cigarettes, cannabis, stimulants, and nonmedical opioids. The primary outcome was CDC guideline adherence measured using a scale developed from behaviors advised to reduce the spread of COVID-19. Secondary outcomes were likelihood of COVID-19 testing and a positive COVID-19 test result. All analyses accounted for the sociodemographic characteristics. Results The sample consisted of 1084 individuals (mean age 40.9 [SD 13.4] years): 529 (48.8%) men, 543 (50.1%) women, 12 (1.1%) other gender identity, 742 (68.5%) White individuals, 267 (24.6%) Black individuals, and 276 (25.5%) Hispanic individuals. Daily opioid users reported lower CDC guideline adherence than nondaily users (B=–0.24, 95% CI –0.44 to –0.05) and nonusers (B=–0.57, 95% CI –0.76 to –0.38). Daily alcohol drinkers reported lower adherence than nondaily drinkers (B=–0.16, 95% CI –0.30 to –0.02). Nondaily alcohol drinkers reported higher adherence than nondrinkers (B=0.10, 95% CI 0.02-0.17). Daily opioid use was related to greater odds of COVID-19 testing, and daily stimulant use was related to greater odds of a positive COVID-19 test. Conclusions In a regionally-specific, racially, and ethnically diverse convenience sample, adults who engaged in daily alcohol or opioid use reported lower CDC guideline adherence for COVID-19 mitigation. Any opioid use was associated with greater odds of COVID-19 testing, and daily stimulant use was associated with greater odds of COVID-19 infection. Cigarettes, electronic cigarettes, cannabis, or stimulant use were not statistically associated with CDC guideline adherence, after accounting for sociodemographic covariates and other substance use variables. Findings support further investigation into whether COVID-19 testing and vaccination should be expanded among individuals with substance-related risk factors.

The economic and mortality impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic have been widely discussed, but there is limited evidence on their relationship across demographic and geographic groups. We use publicly available monthly data from January 2011 through April 2020 on all-cause death counts from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and employment from the Current Population Survey to estimate excess all-cause mortality and employment displacement in April 2020 in the United States. We report results nationally and separately by state and by age group. Nationally, excess all-cause mortality was 2.4 per 10,000 individuals (about 30% higher than reported COVID deaths in April) and employment displacement was 9.9 per 100 individuals. Across age groups 25 y and older, excess mortality was negatively correlated with economic damage; excess mortality was largest among the oldest (individuals 85 y and over: 39.0 per 10,000), while employment displacement was largest among the youngest (individuals 25 to 44 y: 11.6 per 100 individuals). Across states, employment displacement was positively correlated with excess mortality (correlation = 0.29). However, mortality was highly concentrated geographically, with the top two states (New York and New Jersey) each experiencing over 10 excess deaths per 10,000 and accounting for about half of national excess mortality. By contrast, employment displacement was more geographically spread, with the states with the largest point estimates (Nevada and Michigan) each experiencing over 16 percentage points employment displacement but accounting for only 7% of the national displacement. These results suggest that policy responses may differentially affect generations and geographies.

Objective We evaluated whether the Massachusetts COVID-19 vaccine lottery increased vaccine uptake. Methods We analyzed data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention COVID-19 Vaccine Tracker to identify total number of adults aged 18 to 64 who received at least first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine or who were fully vaccinated in Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Jersey, and Vermont during the study period of March 6 –July 31, 2021. Each of the five states contributed 148 days of a daily report on cumulative number of vaccinated people, comprising 740 state-days as the total sample size. We conducted multivariable, state-day level difference-in-differences (DID) regression using a negative binomial regression model that compared the change in outcomes for Massachusetts to those of four geographically adjacent comparison states without the lotteries, before and after the Massachusetts vaccine lottery announcement (June 15, 2021). Our analyses controlled for key state-level characteristics obtained from the American Community Survey as well as day fixed-effects to capture secular trends in the outcomes. Results Massachusetts COVID-19 vaccine lottery was not associated with a significant increase in the number of adults aged 18 to 64 who were fully vaccinated or received at least one dose of the vaccine, compared with other states [Full dose, incidence rate ratio (IRR): 1.04, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.97 to 1.11, P > 0.05; At least one dose, IRR: 0.99, 95% CI: 0.93 to 1.06, P > 0.05]. Conclusions There was insufficient evidence to conclude that Massachusetts COVID-19 vaccine lottery was associated with increased number of adult COVID-19 vaccinations.

A statistical analysis of the results of the experiments had done for accuracy and reliability assessment. The results. It was found that the existing methods of determining the coordinates of objects in the software and hardware complex “MAPA” have certain limitations, especially with regard to the accuracy of determining the coordinates on the map image. It indicates the demanding to improve the accuracy and reliability of determining the coordinates by this method. The accuracy of the height reference of “MAPY” cartographic materials had studied. A number of experiments had conducted on the test areas using the new method and its results had compared with the values obtained using existing methods from the coordinate catalog. The experiments showed deviations in the accuracy of determining coordinates using a cartographic image. Taking into account the research results in the “MAPA” hardware and software complex can increase the accuracy and reliability of measurements. This study can be used in fields where the accuracy of determining coordinates and heights are critical, in particular the military tasks. Possible areas of further research have been identified, including the expansion of the method to take into account other factors that affect the accuracy of determining the coordinates, and the further upgrade of the “MAPA” hardware and software complex. The scientific novelty consists in the development and implementation of new geodetic data processing algorithms: The article considers modern methods of geodetic data processing, including error correction algorithms, data integration from various sources, as well as the development of methods to ensure higher accuracy of coordinate reference in the “MAPA” software and hardware complex. These algorithms contribute to increasing the accuracy of cartographic support and expanding the possibilities of its use for the military tasks. The article is devoted to the control of the accuracy of cartographic support in the software and hardware complex “Map”.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: To describe a study to develop, test, and collect implementation data on a youth-led hypertension (HTN) education digital intervention that acts as an electronic tool to guide youth through learning and then teaching adults on how to achieve better HTN control. Adults with uncontrolled HTN are recruited from a New Jersey emergency department (ED). METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Adults with HTN and youth (15-18 years) participate in a remote user-centered design session focus group to provide input in the development of the youth-led HTN education digital intervention. 100 adult ED patients with uncontrolled HTN (blood pressure (BP) â‰¥130/80 mm Hg) who live with a youth (15-18 years) and the youth themselves are recruited for a randomized control trial (RCT). The adult-youth dyad is randomized to one of two arms, each a 6-week program with youth earning a digital badge: 1) intervention- youth-led HTN education with the adult, or 2) control- youth learn life skills (such as job readiness/resume building). Implementation metrics are collected through a post-intervention survey and qualitative interviews on the digital badge intervention including acceptability, feasibility, and fidelity. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: We completed two youth focus groups (total of 8 participants) and data collection is ongoing. Youth have shown great interest in the intervention prototype and thought their peers would find it acceptable. They suggested additions to nutrition education activities, such as adding a sodium tracker and examples of high sodium foods. For the RCT, the primary study outcome is adult BP change (from baseline to 1 week and 2-months post-intervention), with secondary outcomes of HTN knowledge and youth self-efficacy. We anticipate that intervention arm adults will have a more significant decrease in BP than control arm adults. We also expect that HTN knowledge and youth self-efficacy will be higher for the intervention arm. Implementation data collected will allow for improvements to future renditions of the intervention. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: Bringing health education home while simultaneously empowering youth is an innovative technology-driven model for improving BP for patients with uncontrolled HTN who may lack access to care. Outcomes of this project will result in a scalable and easily adoptable model to reach an otherwise difficult to reach adult population.

Background: Twitter is a leading microblogging platform, with over 126 million daily active users as of 2019, which allows for large-scale analysis of tweets related to migraine. June 2020 encompassed the National Migraine and Headache Awareness Month in the United States and the American Headache Society’s virtual annual conference, which offer opportunities for us to study online migraine advocacy. Objective: We aim to study the content of individual tweets about migraine, as well as study patterns of other topics that were discussed in those tweets. In addition, we aim to study the sources of information that people reference within their tweets. Thirdly, we want to study how online awareness and advocacy movements shape these conversations about migraine. Methods: We designed a Twitter robot that records all unique public tweets containing the word “migraine” from May 8th, 2020 to June 23rd, 2020, within a 400 km radius of New Brunswick, New Jersey, United States. We built two network analysis models, one for the months of May 2020 and June 2020. The model for the month of May served as a control group for the model for the month of June, the Migraine Awareness Month. Our network model was developed with the following rule: if two hashtag topics co-exist in a single tweet, they are considered nodes connected by an edge in our network model. We then determine the top 30 most important hashtags in the month of May and June through applications of degree, between-ness, and closeness centrality. We also generated highly connected subgraphs (HCS) to categorize clusters of conversations within each of our models. Finally, we tally the websites referenced by these tweets during each month and categorized these websites according to the HCS subgroups. Results: Migraine advocacy related tweets are more popular in June when compared to May as judged by degree and closeness centrality measurements. They remained unchanged when judged by between-ness centralities. The HCS algorithm categorizes the hashtags into a large single dominant conversation in both months. In each of the months, advocacy related hashtags are apart of each of the dominant conversation. There are more hashtag topics as well as more unique websites referenced in the dominant conversation in June than in May. In addition, there are many smaller subgroups of migraine-related hashtags, and in each of these subgroups, there are a maximum of two websites referenced. Conclusion: We find a network analysis approach to be fruitful in the area of migraine social media research. Migraine advocacy tweets on Twitter not only rise in popularity during migraine awareness month but also may potentially bring in more diverse sources of online references into the Twitter migraine conversation. The smaller subgroups we identified suggest that there are marginalized conversations referencing a limited number of websites, creating a possibility of an “echo chamber” phenomenon. These subgroups provide an opportunity for targeted migraine advocacy. Our study therefore highlights the success as well as potential opportunities for social media advocacy on Twitter.

Abstract Background: Despite the efficacy of low-dose computerized tomography (LDCT) to detect lung cancer early, the rate of lung cancer screening among high-risk individuals remains low. The purpose of this study was to assess lung cancer screening rates in contrast with state lung cancer mortality across the United States. Methods: Data for this study were obtained from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) from three consecutive years (2018-2020); a population-based survey administered via cell phone and landline and conducted annually by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Eligibility criteria follow the 2013 U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommendation: high-risk individuals aged 55-80 years with a >30 pack-year smoking history who currently smoke or have quit within the past 15 years. After excluding ineligible subjects and those with missing information, 11,297 subjects were included in the final analysis. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to assess the association between the predictor (i.e., state of residence) and the outcome variable (i.e., screening rate). Results: Of the 24 states included in this study, the states with the highest lung cancer screening rates were Rhode Island (24.75%), Vermont (22.51%), New Jersey (21.72%), Minnesota (21.64%), and Delaware (21.39%). The states with the lowest screening uptake were Oklahoma (9.23%), Utah (9.78%), West Virginia (12.23%), South Dakota (12.31%), and Kansas (12.41%). Kentucky has the highest lung cancer mortality and has become the 6th highest in screening rates. Utah has the lowest lung cancer mortality and is the second-lowest state in lung cancer screening rates. After adjusting for sociodemographic (i.e., age, gender, marital status, level of education, income, insurance, and race/ethnicity) and health-related factors (i.e., chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, smoking history, and primary care provider), high-risk individuals in the state of Delaware (OR: 2.85, 95% CI: 1.50 - 5.41), Kentucky (OR: 2.04, 95% CI: 1.03 - 4.04), Minnesota (OR: 2.74, 95% CI: 1.49 - 5.06), Montana (OR: 2.15, 95% CI: 1.09 - 4.25), New Jersey (OR: 2.39, 95% CI: 1.25 - 4.57), Pennsylvania (OR: 2.28, 95% CI: 1.17 - 4.44), Rhode Island (OR: 2.57, 95% CI: 1.33 - 4.98), Texas (OR: 4.51, 95% CI: 2.04 - 9.97) and Vermont (OR: 3.18, 95% CI: 1.61 - 6.28) were significantly more likely to receive lung cancer screening than those in Utah. High-risk individuals in all the remaining states were not significantly different in terms of their lung cancer screening rates compared to Utah. Conclusions: Lung cancer screening rates varied widely across 24 states and did not match with the lung cancer mortality burden in each state. The results from the present study highlights the importance of developing targeted initiatives and policies that enhance the rates of lung cancer screenings in the states that experience a disproportionate burden of lung cancer mortality.

24 Background: Cannabis is increasingly used by patients with cancer for symptom management but is not covered by insurance and may represent a significant financial burden. We assessed costs of cannabis products for patients who used at any time during cancer treatment. Methods: Adults who received any treatment March-August 2021 for any of 10 cancers (brain, breast, head and neck, gynecological, gastrointestinal, lymphoma, prostate, testicular, and lung) at Memorial Sloan Kettering were identified. Patients residing in New York, New Jersey, or Connecticut (where cannabis use is legal) were invited to complete an anonymous online or phone survey regarding their thoughts and experiences with cannabis. Surveys were administered August 2021-April 2022. Bivariate analysis tested for differences between groups. Weighting was assigned based on demographic/cancer data (age, sex assigned at birth, race, ethnicity, cancer type) of the sampled hospital population to account for potential nonresponse bias. Weighted multivariable logistic regression identified predictors (gender, age, race, ethnicity, income, insurance, marital status, employment status) of cannabis costs. Results: 1258 patients completed the full survey (35% response rate); 278 (22%) endorsed using cannabis products during cancer treatment; 248 (20%) gave cost data and included in this analysis. This subset was 51.2% male and mostly white/non-Hispanic (75%) with 8% Hispanic, 6% non-Hispanic Black, and 8% other/non-Hispanic. 23% were age ≤45, 40% were 45-64, and 29% were ≥65. Most (54%) had income ≥$100,000 and 45% were currently employed. Most (54%) were currently undergoing cancer treatment; most common cancer types were GI (18%), breast (12%), lymphoma (11%), and gynecological and prostate cancer (each 10%). The median monthly out of pocket cost for cannabis was $80 (IQR 25-150). In unadjusted analysis, patients ≤45 (median $100 monthly vs $75 for 45-64 vs $50 ≥65, p = 0.002) and Hispanic patients (median $125 monthly vs $70 white/non-Hispanic vs $60 Black, p = 0.027) paid more for cannabis. On regression analysis, only male gender (OR 2.5, 95CI 1.2-5.5, p = 0.026) and age ≤45 (OR 7.5, 95CI 1.9-30.0, p = 0.0042) were associated with spending ≥$100/month on cannabis. Of the 166 who either stopped using cannabis or used less than they liked since their cancer diagnosis, 28% said it was because the cost is “too high” and 26% said it was because it was not covered by health insurance. Of the 138 who had taken cannabis instead of other medications, only 3% said it was because it was less expensive. Conclusions: Cannabis use during cancer treatment can cause significant out of pocket burden, with men and younger patients more likely to have high cannabis costs. Cannabis expenses may not be captured in standard assessments of medical costs but may contribute to financial toxicity for unknown symptom control benefits.

Phytophthora capsici Leonian, the causal agent of lima bean pod rot, was first identified as a pathogen of lima bean in 2002 (1) and poses a new threat to lima bean (Phaseolus lunatus L.) production in the Mid-Atlantic Region. The phenylamide fungicide mefenoxam (Ridomil Gold; Syngenta Crop Protection) is widely used in the region for controlling foliar and soilborne diseases caused by Oomycetes. Isolates of P. capsici were collected from lima bean pods from production fields in Delaware, Maryland, and New Jersey from 1998 to 2004. These isolates originated from survey samples of lima bean fields for another pathogen, P. phaseoli, in 1999 and 2000 and diagnostic samples were submitted to the Plant Disease Clinic. Isolates were from lima bean, except for one from pepper (basal stem). Identification was made on the basis of morphometric characteristics. No known sensitive or insensitive isolates were included in the evaluation. Single zoospore cultures were evaluated for mefenoxam sensitivity on V8 agar plates amended with 100 ppm of mefenoxam, a previously tested concentration (2). Seven-millimeter-diameter agar plugs of each isolate were cut from the edge of actively expanding cultures of P. capsici with a cork borer and transferred to three V8 agar plates amended with mefenoxam and three unamended V8 plates. The plates were arranged in a completely randomized design and incubated at 25°C in the dark for 3 days. After incubation, colony growth was measured in millimeters and averaged for the three replicate plates of each isolate and percent growth relative to the unamended control was calculated. Mefenoxam sensitivity was assigned according to methods of Lamour et al. (2). The experiment was repeated once, and also run with a treatment of 200 ppm of mefenoxam. Of sixteen isolates screened, nine were rated as sensitive, four were intermediately resistant, and three were resistant. There was no difference between the 100 and 200 ppm results, except for a slight increase in sensitivity for one isolate. A subsequent experiment tested five isolates at concentrations of 1, 10, 100, and 1,000 ppm. Results were consistent with previous tests, with resistant isolates exhibiting some growth at the highest concentration of mefenoxam. One resistant isolate was from a field in Delaware previously cropped to slicing cucumbers with a history of mefenoxam applications. The second was from Caroline County, MD, which is heavily cropped to pickling cucumbers and likely to have been exposed to mefanoxam applications for the control of fruit rot; the origin of the third insensitive isolate from lima bean is unknown. Mefanoxam usage on lima bean is usually limited to one foliar application of mefenoxam+copper hydroxide to control downy mildew in the fall crop in wet seasons. This study indicates that mefenoxam resistance is present in populations of P. capsici in lima bean fields in the Mid-Atlantic Region, presumably as a result of mefenoxam applications to other vegetable crops, principally cucurbits, which are planted in rotation with lima beans or from nearby cucurbit fields. Implementing strategies to minimize fungicide resistance in other vegetables is important to slow resistance development associated with this emerging pathogen on lima beans. Lima bean pod rot continues to be seen sporadically each year in fields with a history of P. capsici and abundant rainfall or excessive irrigation. References: (1) C. R. Davidson et al.

Background: Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) affects approximately 100,000 individuals in the United States. Patients require regular follow-up and monitoring to prevent serious complications. Even with rigorous monitoring, health outcomes can be poor due to pain-seeking stigma and other social determinants of health, namely racial, social, and economic disparities. According to the National Assessment of Health Literacy published in 2006, 36% of adults have limited health literacy in the United States. Among SCD populations, disease-specific knowledge can play a vital role in improving pain control and access to appropriate maintenance therapies. Aims:The purpose of this study is to investigate the knowledge and perceptions of patients with SCD and their caregivers attending The Valerie Fund Pediatric Hematology-Oncology Center at the Children's Hospital of New Jersey in Newark, NJ regarding their disease, complications, genetic impact, general anticipated course of treatment or natural history of disease. Hydroxyurea (HU) and curative therapies include bone marrow transplant (BMT) and gene therapy (GT). Methods: We surveyed 85 participants, accounting for 79 patients as some surveys were completed by each the patient and caregiver. Sixty-six (83.5%) participants were caregivers and 13 (16.5%) were children with sickle cell disease between 12- and 20-years-old. Most patients identified as black, African, or African American (76; 96.2%) with 2 (2.5%) Hispanic patients, and 1 (1.3%) white patient. Forty-three patients (54.4%) were female and 36 (45.6%) were male. The average age of the patients was 10.9 years with a standard deviation of 5.7 years. More than half of patients were HbSS genotype (51; 64.6%). Remaining genotypes were HbSC (21; 26.6%), HbS-β 0-thalassemia (5; 6.3%), and HbS-β +-thalassemia (2; 2.5%). Forty-six (58.2%) of patients had received HU and 33 (41.8%) had not. Results: When assessing background knowledge of sickle cell and heritable risk, most participants could correctly identify the patient's sickle cell genotype (74; 87.1%) and most caregivers could correctly identify their own genotype (49; 74.2%). However, many caregivers exhibited limited understanding of genetic risk with only 18 (27.2%) correctly identifying the one in four chance of having a subsequent child with SCD when both parents are carriers. The results revealed participants could not distinguish between treatment for SCD and sickle cell trait; few participants correctly identified that sickle cell trait is not an indication for treatment with HU (8; 10.1%), BMT (4; 5.1%) or GT (6; 7.6%). Baseline knowledge about BMT and GT was limited. Only 27 (34.1%) participants correctly identified that BMT is indicated for treating patients with HbSS or HbS-b 0-thalassemia, and only 9 (11.4%) participants correctly identified this treatment population for GT. BMT knowledge was slightly greater than GT knowledge, namely that 60.1% (48) correctly identified the benefits of BMT for SCD patients, including decreased pain, decreased need for pain medication, decreased length of hospital stay, and cure, and that either bone marrow, stem cells, or blood could be transplanted materials. Most patients did not correctly identify these benefits of GT (55; 70%), nor could they identify the source of blood or stem cells for GT (65; 82.3%). The ability to correctly identify the benefits of HU for sickle cell disease (48; 60.8%) was positively associated with the ability to correctly identify the benefits of BMT (p-value 0.0091) and GT (p-value 0.0438) using Fisher's exact test with 95% confidence interval. Conclusion: These results suggest that dedicated teaching about HU, a common treatment for SCD, can result in greater patient knowledge about newer and curative treatment options of bone marrow transplant and gene therapy. These findings underscore the necessity of implementation of comprehensive patient teaching that is inclusive of population education levels, literacy rates, health literacy rates, and other cultural and societal factors.

En las organizaciones se presentan varias debilidades vulnerables en los sistemas de control interno y en la manera en que las empresas gestionan su liquidez, de modo, que el control interno debe garantizar la efectividad de los objetivos económicos empresariales. El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar el constructo teórico del control interno mediante el modelo COSO, a través de un análisis meta-analítico. Adicionalmente, se aplicó la técnica estadística de meta-análisis, con el fin de evaluar el nivel de significancia y su sesgo de error, por tal razón se direccionó bajo un diseño metodológico mixto. Los resultados revelaron que el factor ambiente de control, es descuidado por parte de las organizaciones debido al empirismo que maneja el directorio administrativo de las pequeñas y medianas empresas. Se concluye que el modelo COSO, si mantiene relación consistente con el control interno y la gestión de liquidez empresarial. Palabras Clave: control interno, liquidez, gestión empresarial.

Teachers have an important and primary role in the education system. The achievement of the teacher's role in education will have an impact on job satisfaction. This study aims to analyze the job satisfaction of Early Childhood Education teachers in terms of variables of technostress and work-family conflicts among teachers who are married. This study was designed with a correlational quantitative design. Data collection is done online with the assistance of Google forms-distributed throughout Indonesia. One hundred and fifty-seven teacher respondents who fit the criteria became the research sample. The data analysis technique uses hierarchical regression. The results of the analysis stated that there was a relationship between technostress and job satisfaction. The findings show that two of the five aspects of technostress that techno-overload and techno-insecurity have a negative correlation with job satisfaction, while techno-uncertainty has a positive correlation. In addition, two aspects of technostress namely techno-invasion and techno-complexity do not correlate with job satisfaction. next to the relationship between work-family conflict with job satisfaction. The findings show that one of the two aspects of work-family conflict is strain negatively correlated with job satisfaction while time and behavior do not correlate with job satisfaction. Based on the results of this study it can be concluded that early childhood teachers are more affected by their job satisfaction technostress/techno-overload compared to work-family conflict.

A national geodetic network provides the fundamental framework that enables attainment of high accuracy geodetic measurements. It plays a key role in the efficiency and reliability of operations in land surveying, mapping, remote sensing, Geographic Information System, engineering surveying and other related applications. The geodetic framework provides the basis for integrating all mapping and survey activities. About eighty per cent of the primary geodetic control points in Kenya, established in the early twentieth century, have been destroyed. This has resulted in expensive and time consuming operations and processes for geospatial professionals and scientists. This situation is particularly worse in central Kenya, hence the need to extend the geodetic control by establishing more control points on secure and accessible sites for use by geospatial professionals and scientists in a wide variety of applications. In this study, modern satellite positioning techniques were utilised to extend geodetic reference network in central Kenya. Existing geodetic control points were used to facilitate establishment of new geodetic control points distributed within the region. Field observations were carried out using Global Positioning System. The raw data were downloaded, edited, processed and adjusted using Leica Geo-Office software. The resulting final adjusted coordinates had a maximum standard deviation of 2cm and 5cm on horizontal and vertical coordinates respectively, and a general loop misclosure of less than one part per million. The results showed that the quality of established control point positions was high, and demonstrated the efficient extension of geodetic control network using modern satellite positioning systems and efficient computational techniques in situations such as the ones currently prevailing in central Kenya.

Laser scanning is a survey method that enables the obtaining of several data points on surfaces through the observation of horizontal and vertical angles and electronic distance measurements. The result of these observations is a set of 3D points named point clouds, which can be obtained from scans using total stations or the Terrestrial Laser Scanner (TLS). Currently, the use of TLS in geodetic structural deformation monitoring activities is under evaluation, since this technique can provide a greater number of points in a shorter period, when compared to scans performed by total stations. In this research, the feasibility of using control planes for geodetic monitoring was investigated in a controlled laboratory environment, exploring the current trend of parameterization of point clouds. From the development of an Experimental Plane Control (EPC) containing a flat surface that could be inclined in a controlled way, simultaneous scans with TLS and total station were carried out at different inclinations of the control plane. Both surveys were done in frontal scan mode (minimum plane inclination of 0º53’ and maximum plane inclination of 3º28’) and in oblique mode (plane inclination of 1º09’), where the plane inclination angles were generated by the rotation in EPC base, considering the first plane position as reference to inclination calculating. From parametrization of point clouds, a new approach was developed to test the significance of the estimated inclination angle of the plane in relation to a reference position. The results showed that it is possible to confirm that the inclined angles were statistically significant, but that the TLS scanning position can interfere in the determination of these data for monitoring purposes.

Background Point of care testing (POCT) for Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a major source of its control. On May 13, 2020, NJ pharmacists were authorized to order and perform COVID-19 testing, expanding their role in the response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Objective The purpose of this study was to evaluate NJ pharmacists’ perceptions on the safety and potential consequences of performing COVID-19 testing within their community pharmacy practice sites. Methods: An electronic survey was distributed to NJ-registered pharmacists approximately 3 months after the administrative order was issued. Results The survey was completed by 523 recipients (3.39% response rate) and responses from 311 NJ pharmacists practicing in community pharmacy were analyzed. The majority of respondents (83.8%) were not providing testing, while 16.2% were testing at the time of survey distribution. Most testing pharmacists were staff pharmacists with one to five years of experience, working in a pharmacy chain approximately 30-40 hours per week. Those not testing identified lack of a pharmacy drive-through, insufficient staff, and potential workflow disruption as reasons for not testing. Increased workload and fear of spreading the virus to others were concerns noted by both testers and non-testers. Conclusion Overall, NJ pharmacists reported mixed perceptions regarding performing COVID-19 testing. Challenges and barriers to pharmacist COVID-19 testing, including inadequate staffing and space, and concerns about reimbursement and disruption to workflow were identified. Findings may serve as a guide to design and implement strategies to overcome barriers.

AbstractAlong with the damage to buildings and infrastructure, the April 25, 2015 Mw7.8 Gorkha earthquake caused significant deformation over a large area of eastern Nepal with displacements of over 2 m recorded in the vicinity of Kathmandu.Nepal currently uses a classical datum developed in 1984 by the Royal (UK) Engineers in collaboration with the Nepal Survey Department. It has served Nepal well; however, the recent earthquakes have provided an impetus for developing a semi-dynamic datum that will be based on ITRF2014 and have the capacity to correct for tectonic deformation.In the scenario we present here, the datum would be based on ITRF2014 with a reference epoch set some time after the end of the current sequence of earthquakes. The deformation model contains a grid of the secular velocity field combined with models of the Gorkha Earthquake and the May 12 Mw7.3 aftershock. We have developed a preliminary velocity field by collating GPS derived crustal velocities from four previous studies for Nepal and adjacent parts of China and India and aligning them to the ITRF. Patches for the co-seismic part of the deformation for the Gorkha earthquake and the May 12, 2015 Mw 7.2 aftershock are based on published dislocation models.High order control would be a CORS network based around the existing Nepal GPS Array. Coordinates for existing lower order control would be determined by readjusting existing survey measurements and these would be combined with a series of new control stations spread throughout Nepal.

Objective: Participating in an escape room is not just an entertainment but can also be a form of education. Because of this, the New Jersey Department of Health (NJDOH), Project Firstline (PFL) created an escape room interactive training tool and skills-building exercise to encourage the identification and use of key infection control principles by current and future healthcare workers. Design and Setting: PFL is a US initiative that aims to provide infection prevention and control (IPC) knowledge to frontline healthcare workers. This article details health educators’ descriptions and experiences of an escape room developed as part of this initiative; guidance on how to incorporate this modality of learning into present and future teaching; and assessment data and feedback from participants to begin to understand the impact and effectiveness of this approach to learning. Methods: A total of 8 sessions, conducted in 3 locations, with 64 participants, yielded survey assessment data from 41 participants. Results: Quantitative results indicated that participants were highly satisfied with the escape room experience and reported an increased level of knowledge after participation. In addition, participants reported extremely high levels of intention to implement the training they received, and all would recommend the escape room experience to a friend or a colleague. Qualitative data supports the overall findings and provides specific examples of how participants said they would implement the knowledge they learned, along with additional positive feedback. Conclusion: Current and continuing efforts to promote PFL’s escape room are described, along with improvements and future actions.

Along with the damage to buildings and infrastructure, the April 25, 2015 Mw 7.8 Gorkha earthquake caused quite significant deformation over a large area in central Nepal with displacements of over 2 m recorded in the vicinity of Kathmandu. In this paper we consider options for a modernized geodetic datum for Nepal that will have the capacity to correct for the earthquake displacements and ongoing tectonic deformation associated with Nepal’s location on the India/Eurasian plate boundary. In the scenario we present here, the datum would be based on ITRF2014 with a reference epoch set some time after the end of the current sequence of earthquakes. We have developed a preliminary velocity field by collating GPS derived crustal velocities from four previous studies for Nepal and adjacent parts of China and India and aligning them to the ITRF. We developed preliminary patches for the coseismicpart of the deformation using published dislocation models. By combing the velocity and coseismic models we have developed an NDM that can correct coordinate for both the effect of the earthquakes and continuous deformation associated with Indian / Eurasian plate boundary. High order control would be a CORS network based around the existing Nepal GPS Array. Coordinates for existing lower order control would be determined by readjusting existing survey measurements and these would be combined with a series of new control stations spread throughout Nepal.

Traditional methods are facing difficulties in solving the decision-making and control problems of disassembly operations. On the other hand, the latest development in reinforcement learning makes it more feasible to solve such kind of complex problems. Inspired by behaviorism psychology, reinforcement learning is considered as one of the most promising directions to achieve universal artificial intelligence (AI). In this context, we first review the basic ideas, mathematical models, and various algorithms of reinforcement learning. Then, we introduce the research progress and application subjects in the field of disassembly and recycling, such as disassembly sequencing, disassembly line balancing, product transportation, disassembly layout, etc. In addition, the prospects, challenges and applications of reinforcement learning based disassembly and recycling are also comprehensively analyzed and discussed.

Abstract We conducted surveys of New Jersey mosquito control and public health agencies to determine their willingness and ability to expand or create and maintain publicly funded tick and tick-borne disease (T/TBD) management programs. Nearly all (86%) of 21 county mosquito control agencies (MCAs) completed the survey, while only 25% of the 102 health departments (HDs) responded, probably reflecting traditional agency responsibilities. Although few of either group had formal programs, many were engaged in T/TBD-related activities. Many MCAs rated their ability to assume T/TBD responsibilities as high or moderate, while most HDs rated their capabilities as low. With the exceptions of lack of sustainable funding and possible legal constraints, the groups differed regarding perceived barriers to program creation and maintenance. Both groups envisioned comprehensive programs emphasizing public education, but program priorities differed between the groups. MCAs were willing to include most program activities, while HDs felt that some activities should be the responsibility of other agencies. MCAs were generally more familiar than HDs with tick control methods and while both groups would include control in a comprehensive program, both would limit control to public lands. Estimated program costs varied widely, probably reflecting responding agency size and complexity of envisioned programs. These results in a state with a system of existing agencies staffed by highly competent professionals suggest that more than simply additional funding (e.g., established guidelines for tick control and surveillance) is needed to create a network of practice necessary to address the growing incidence of TBD.

The purpose of this study is to examine the factors associated with pumping breast milk on a university campus under the Theory of Planned Behavior (TBP). In January 2015, all employees and students of one New Jersey university were invited via email to participate in a 20‐minute online survey measuring pumping behaviors, psychosocial variables framed by the TPB, and demographic factors. Using multiple regression analysis, the most influential predictors (attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control) of the intention to pump breast milk on campus were identified. One hundred twenty‐five women completed the survey. The average age of respondents was 30.05 years (SD 8.83), and the majority of respondents was White (53.6%) and married (63.2%). Half of the women were employees (24.8% faculty, 24.8% staff), while the other half were students (50.4%). Together, attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control explained 21.2% of the total variance of the intention to pump breast milk on campus (P<0.01, R=0.46). The most influential factor for pumping intention was subjective norm (β=0.36, P<0.01), followed by perceived behavioral control (β=0.18, P=0.04). Attitudes did not significantly influence the intention to pump breast milk on campus (β=0.15, P=0.11). Specific beliefs that were significantly correlated with the intention to pump on campus included experiencing approval from other women in general (β=0.39, P<0.01), experiencing superiors’ approval (β=0.30, P<0.01), experiencing approval from other women with breastfeeding experience (β=0.29, P<0.01), and feeling supported by the university (β=0.22, P<0.01). Based on the findings, continued efforts are needed to improve breastfeeding awareness, as well as to provide pump loan and milk storage options. Since the culture of lactation accommodation may impact breastfeeding exclusivity and duration, universities must do more to support all women who wish to continue a breastfeeding relationship while at school or work.
