Abstract:

ABSTRACT In the 1930s, active industrialization of the economy in the USSR was impossible without using modern management techniques and accounting methods. To increase the manageability of industrial enterprises, attempts to introduce standard costing, imported from the United States, were undertaken. Previously called progressive and useful, after the policy of the Communist Party changed, standard costing was identified as a calculative technique that did not correspond to the goals of the socialist state. Soviet researchers formulated the principles of normative cost accounting, based on s

Abstract Background Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a human orthopneumovirus spread by direct contact with symptomatic, infected individuals. An estimated 587,000 RSV LRTIs result in inpatient or outpatient encounters annually among US infants (Rainisch et al 2019). The health care costs associated with RSV include medical costs to insurers, governments, and households, travel, and loss of wages.

Abstract:

All other industrialized countries have some version of a children's allowance, a grant provided to all families based on the number of children they have. In contrast, the United States provides tax deductions for children, which provide the most benefit to the rich and provide no benefit at all to most poor families. The authors argue that a children's allowance could be instituted in this country that would decrease poverty and welfare participation while not costing the federal government any additional resources.

Abstract:

Staphylococcal food poisoning is one of the most economically important food-borne diseases in the United States, costing approximately $1.5 billion each year in medical expenses and loss of productivity. The amount of staphylococcal enterotoxin required to cause illness in humans depends on the susceptibility of the individuals. As little as 0.5 to 0.75 ng/ml of enterotoxin A in chocolate milk was shown to be able to cause illness in school children. Many methods have been developed for the detection of enterotoxins: immunological and biological assays. Immunological assays are more sensitive

However, PH FDC SC allows for a faster infusion than that of PT IV, and this can be associated with lower costs.

An obvious question is the extent to which the recent housing market contraction and the recession may have caused this downward trend in migration: after all, relocation activity often involves both housing market activity and changes in employment.

Forest ecosystems provide critical ecosystem goods and services, and any disturbance-induced changes can have cascading impacts on natural processes and human socioeconomic systems. Forest disturbance frequency, intensity, and spatial and temporal scale can be altered by changes in climate and human activity, but without baseline forest disturbance data, it is impossible to quantify the magnitude and extent of these changes. Methodologies for quantifying forest cover change have been developed at the regional-to-global scale via several approaches that utilize data from high (e.g., IKONOS, Qui

Abstract:

Place-based instruction allows students to explore learned concepts while building emotional connections with the location in which they are studying. Furthermore, the case for experiential science education continues to grow, and such pedagogy may be particularly beneficial to learning in ecology and environmental science. We present an experiential, place-based pedagogy aimed at introducing international high school or undergraduate students to the concept of biological invasions.

I come to this subject to talk about the unique intersection of state-sponsored cyber-activity with the private sector. Many of the costs of that activity are borne by the private sector that is domestically located in the United States, and there is often a disconnect between what is framed and developed in conversations and discussions by the United States and the reality on the ground within the private bar representing individual U.S.-based companies.

Abstract:

Increased wildfire activity (e.g. number of starts, area burned, fire behaviour) across the western United States in recent decades has heightened interest in resolving climate–fire relationships. Macroscale climate–fire relationships were examined in forested and non-forested lands for eight Geographic Area Coordination Centers in the western United States, using area burned derived from the Monitoring Trends in Burn Severity dataset (1984–2010). Fire-specific biophysical variables including fire danger and water balance metrics were considered in addition to standard climate variables of mon

To determine how many steps·day–1 equate to current moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) guidelines in a population from the Lower Mississippi Delta (LMD) of the United States, 58 overweight adults wore an Actigraph accelerometer (GT3X) for up to 2 weeks. Min·day–1 in MVPA was a good predictor of steps·day–1 (r2 = 0.62; p < 0.001; linear regression), such that 30 min of daily MVPA equated to 9154 steps·day–1 (mixed-model approach). Using receiver operating characteristic analysis, sensitivity and specificity were optimized at 8357 steps·day–1. Results indicate that overweight resid

Recent dramatic and deadly increases in global wildfire activity have increased attention on the causes of wildfires, their consequences, and how risk from wildfire might be mitigated. Here we bring together data on the changing risk and societal burden of wildfire in the United States. We estimate that nearly 50 million homes are currently in the wildland–urban interface in the United States, a number increasing by 1 million houses every 3 y. To illustrate how changes in wildfire activity might affect air pollution and related health outcomes, and how these linkages might guide future science

Abstract:

The simultaneous occurrence of wildfire can hinder firefighting effectiveness via multiple mechanisms that might explain historical resource demand trends. We validate this hypothesis by using data from the Monitoring Trends in Burn Severity (MTBS) project to determine if simultaneous wildfire occurrence is correlated with preparedness levels and examine potential changes in simultaneous wildfire activity over the 1984–2015 record. We explore patterns that are helpful for predicting simultaneous wildfire, such as seasonal variability in simultaneity, cross-regional correlations and models of s
