Abstract:

Abstract ‘Hispana Gallica’ or ‘Hispana Rhenana’? Bernhar of Worms first owner of the Viennese Codex ÖNB 411. Only the manuscript Wien ÖNB 411 transmits the Collectio Hispana Gallica in a complete version. So far, its medieval library home has been unknown. An addendum at the end of this codex, which has been not accurately understood in former research, suggests that bishop Bernhar of Worms was the owner of this manuscript around 810/11. In the course of the analysis of Wien ÖNB 411 the article addresses the distinction between codices, transmitting the Collectio Hispana Gallica, and those, transmitting the Collectio Hadriano-Hispanica (which depends from the Collectio Hispana Gallica). As a result it appears that the Collectio Hispana Gallica was transmitted and adapted in remarkable intensity in the Upper Rhine region. Based on these findings the article discusses consequences in determining the chronological starting point for the transformation of the Collectio Hispana Gallica into the Collectio Hispana Gallica Augustodunensis, which was already shaped by pseudo-isidorian influences.

AbstractResearch on the decretal part of the Collectio Hispana. The essay considers the question how to deal with the divergent state of the edition of the various parts of the Collectio Hispana. The major part of the collection is already available in a historico-critical edition by Martínez Díez/ Rodríguez, while it is still necessary to consult the bilingual edition of Vives for some councils and the edition of González, which dates from the beginning of the 19th century, for the decretals. Based on two selected decretals (which are printed in the appendix) a possible handling of this problem will be presented: The edition by González is compared with four selected manuscripts to verify the reliability of the text. Thereby, a precautious usage of his compilation will be recommended: Apparently the text as a whole is reliable. The two major problems are the normalized spelling making the edition unusable for philological questions, as well as González’ choosing of a Leithandschrift in which the decretals and their index appear in a form differing substantially from the other manuscripts. Therefore, the appearance of this part within the edition does not correspond to the majority of its manuscripts.

Abstract:

Less than 40% of the U.S. population achieves the recommended amount of leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) recommended by the American College of Sports Medicine [ACSM (>150 minutes/week of moderate-intensity or equivalent vigorous-intensity LTPA)]. The number of Hispanic/Latino men and women who report being physically inactive is disproportionately higher than non-Hispanic/Latinos. The purpose of this investigation is to evaluate factors which influence the achievement of meeting ACSM recommendations for LTPA among adults with Hispanic/Latino ethnicity and whites (non-Hispanic/Latino) in the southern United States. Self-reported data collected as part of the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) was analyzed in male and female Hispanic/Latinos and non-Hispanic/Latino whites using the Andersen Model and Chi Square Analysis to examine the association between variables. Hispanic/Latino men/women were significantly less likely to meet the ACSM recommendations (> 150 minutes/week) compared to non-Hispanic/Latinos. Lower amounts of income, education, and access to health care were all significant factors of whether Hispanic/Latinos in the Deep South achieved the ACSM recommendations for LTPA. Although the percentage of overweight Hispanic/Latinos was considerably higher than White (non-Hispanic/Latino), reported obesity was highest among Whites (non-Hispanic/Latino). LTPA between the two groups differed significantly, suggesting that not achieving the physical activity recommendations is associated with being overweight, but other factors may also contribute to being overweight and obesity.Key words. physical activity, Hispanics, leisure, obesity, overweight, disease.Resumen. Menos del 40% de la población de los Estados Unidos cumple con la cantidad de actividad física de tiempo libre (AFTL) recomendada por el Colegio Americano de Medicina Deportiva [ACSM (> 150 minutos/semana de AFTL de intensidad moderada o su equivalente de intensidad vigorosa)]. La cantidad de hombres y mujeres hispanos o latinos que reportan ser físicamente inactivos es desproporcionadamente mayor que quienes no lo son. El propósito de esta investigación es evaluar los factores que pueden influir en alcanzar las recomendaciones del ACSM para AFTL en adultos de origen étnico hispano o latino y en caucásicos (que no son hispanos o latinos) en la región Sur de los Estados Unidos. Se recolectaron datos de cuestionarios autoadministrados que son parte del Sistema de Vigilancia de Factores de Riesgo del Comportamiento (Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, BRFSS), los cuales se analizaron en hombres y mujeres hispanos o latinos y en caucásicos que no lo eran, por medio del Modelo de Andersen y pruebas de Chi cuadrado para examinar la asociación entre variables. Se encontró que los hombres y las mujeres latinos tenían una menor probabilidad de cumplir con las recomendaciones del ACSM (> 150 minutos/semana) en comparación con quienes no eran hispanos o latinos. Menores ingresos económicos, educación y acceso a los servicios de salud fueron factores significativos que condicionaban si los hispanos o latinos en el extremo Sur lograban las recomendaciones del ACSM para AFTL. Aunque el porcentaje de hispanos o latinos con sobrepeso fue considerablemente mayor que los caucásicos (no hispanos o latinos), la obesidad reportada fue mayor entre los caucásicos (no hispanos o latinos). La AFTL entre los dos grupos fue estadísticamente diferente, lo cual sugiere que no alcanzar las recomendaciones de actividad física se asocia con tener sobrepeso; sin embargo, otros factores también pueden contribuir en tener sobrepeso y obesidad.Palabras claves. actividad física, hispanos, ocio, obesidad, sobrepeso, enfermedad.

Abstract:

AbstractThe Discriptio Hispaniae is a passage from the Geometry of Gisemundus, also entitled Ars Gromatica Gisemundi (AGG), a medieval treatise of agrimensura written by an unknown author, probably a monk known as Gisemundus who had some agrimensorial experience. The work was compiled around AD 800 by collecting passages of a range of sizes, from just a few words to several pages, extracted from ancient and medieval sources. Although modern research into Roman agrimensorial texts has admitted the importance of the AGG, its corrupt condition has not invited sustained analysis. The passage now known as the Discriptio Hispaniae, a short section from chapter three of the second book of the AGG entitled III De segregatione provinciarum ab Augustalibus terminis, is particularly interesting for the information that it provides concerning the territorial division of Hispania in Late Antiquity. This article presents an edition and English translation of the Discriptio Hispaniae and argues that the most likely point of origin for the Discriptio Hispaniae is during the Byzantine occupation of parts of southern Spain during the second half of the sixth century and the first quarter of the seventh century. We suggest that the Discriptio Hispaniae was preserved because the Byzantine authorities were keen to keep on record information about the borders of the province of Carthaginensis, perhaps the main theme in the text.

Abstract:

The greatest thrill that any researcher can experience is coming across, quite unforeseen, priceless documents long given up as lost. In the case of myself and two close colleagues, Wendy Kramer and Christopher H. Lutz, the documents that have come to light and that have so delighted us include Libros de Cabildo numbers two and three of the city of Santiago de Guatemala, the capital of Spanish Central America. Libro Segundo is a register of events that took place between 1530 and 1541; Libro Tercero is a log spanning the years 1541 to 1553. Our incredulity at learning the whereabouts of these two volumes was matched, if not surpassed, by the anticipation of verifying their existence and thereafter consulting them, something that has not occurred (as best we can determine) in over a century. Far more than the minutes of mundane municipal affairs, these two Libros de Cabildo contain valuable information about Spanish conquest and colonization, and indigenous resistance to it, that will enhance considerably our understanding of the early colonial period, not only in Guatemala but throughout Central America. Furthermore, the Libros de Cabildo have proven to be the proverbial tip of the iceberg, for the cache of which they form part contains other treasures perhaps not quite so unique but nonetheless of significant historical worth.

Abstract:

La redécouverte de la peinture flamande des xve et xvie siècles a suscité, à partir des années 1890, une production à grande échelle de faux Primitifs flamands. Dans certains cas, il s'agit d'œuvres réalisées sur un support moderne, dans d'autres, de tableaux anciens restaurés abusivement. Un certain nombre de ces faux Primitifs flamands se sont retrouvés dans des collections espagnoles. Plusieurs ont été reproduits comme des œuvres authentiques, flamandes ou hispano-flamandes, par des auteurs aussi réputés que Chandler Post, Jacques Lavalleye et Elisa Bermejo. Parmi les falsifications inédites étudiées dans le présent article, certaines peuvent être attribuées au restaurateur-faussaire belge Joseph Van der Veken ou au mystérieux 'Faussaire de Valls Marín'.

Abstract:

The Spanish National Library’s Memoria Hispánica project aims to provide networked access to a digital database, the Biblioteca Nacional Digita, including every item in its collection. The first phase of this project is scheduled to take place between 1996 and 1998. This follows an earlier project, the Sistema Integrado de Información Heráldica, which involved digitising the text and images of a major work on heraldry. Two ongoing projects comprise the production of an optical disc of Spanish portraits in the library’s collections, the Iconografía Hispana, and of a CD-ROM documenting an exhibition, mounted by the library from its collections, of prints and drawings by Goya. In both cases, the projects are being implemented and funded by external bodies who expect to recoup the costs from sales. It is likely that the Memoria Hispánica project will be funded in much the same way.

La Colección Altamira, nombre con el que es conocido entre los historiadores modernistas el excepcional archivo atesorado durante siglos por los condes de Altamira, es uno de los fondos documentales más importantes para el estudio de la Monarquía Hispánica y en especial del reinado de Felipe II. La ruina de la Casa de Altamira provocó la dispersión de su archivo a partir de 1868, cuyos papeles fueron adquiridos por distintos compradores, entre los que se contaba Archer Milton Huntington, fundador de “The Hispanic Society of America”. El magnate adquirió la colección de libros y manuscritos del marqués de Jerez de los Caballeros, única en su género, y cuyos papeles en una gran parte eran de procedencia Altamira. The Library of the Hispanic Society of America conserva hoy una parte significativa del acervo documental Altamira que constituye, junto a los demás fondos repartidos por Europa, un repositorio documental de obligada consulta para los historiadores de la Revuelta de los Países Bajos.

Abstract:

Summary This proposal aims to provide an update of the catalogues of findings associated with the mysteries of Mithras in Hispania produced by García y Bellido (1967) and Alvar Ezquerra (1981). A new approach to the archaeological material is needed due to the multiplicity of findings in recent decades and the overcoming of traditional theories in this field of study. We have focused on the figurative monuments, as Mithraic iconography has been considered a mere vehicle for the transmission of the eschatology of the cult. Although three representations of tauroctony were located in the province of Baetica, the findings of Tróia and Mérida, both in Lusitania, are the most important source of materials in the territory of Hispania. Recent discoveries in Lugo, Altafulla, Cabrera de Mar, Puente Genil, San Juan de la Isla, Barbate, Mérida, along with the revision of the Museo Nacional de Arte Romano collection, have been a great contribution to the study of Mithraism in the Iberian Peninsula.

AbstractRNase activity in Lasallia hispanica, Parmelia omphalodes and Cornicularia normoerica collected at different times and in different habitats, have shown variability that cannot be solely attributable to variation in habitat or season. Electromorph pattern of RNase activity in L. hispanica and C. normoerica, showed variations among different collection times; some bands are constant but other showed high variability, which could be related to physiological changes. It is also noteworthy that in both species one band is exclusively present in thalli from one of the sampling localities. This could be the result of an adaptation to this habitat and/or due to genetic differences.

Pre-Hispanic basketry is scarce and at present, there are few analytical studies on these objects. This study presents an analytical investigation of a collection of ancient baskets from Museo Nacional de Etnografía y Folklore (MUSEF), La Paz, Bolivia employing portable X-ray Fluorescence and portable Raman Spectroscopy. The analyses were performed in situ with non-invasive and non-destructive methods. The chemical elements K, Ca, Ti, Mn, Fe, Zn, and Sr were identified in all the samples. The principal component analysis tends to separate the basket pieces in two groups: one of them is related to stylistic shape of the Middle Horizon, Titicaca Lake basin, and the other was inconclusive. This was the first time that tinctures used in Andean pre-Hispanic basketry from the MUSEF collection were chemically evaluated and the results added historical and archaeological context to the objects.

Abstract:

Abstract Surveys of religious congregations are a mainstay of sociological research on organized religion in the United States. How accurate, reliable, and comparable are the data generated from the disparate methods used by researchers? We analyze four congregational surveys to show how two components of data collection—sampling design and survey response rate—may contribute to differences in population estimates between the surveys. Results show that in three populations of congregations (all religious traditions, Catholic parishes, and Hispanic Catholic parishes), estimates of key congregational measures, such as head clergy characteristics, congregational size, and Hispanic composition, are susceptible to differences in data collection methods. While differences in sampling design contribute to some of the variation in variable estimates, our unique analysis of survey metadata shows the importance of high response rates for producing accurate estimates for many variables. We conclude with suggestions for improving congregational data collection methods and efforts to compare survey estimates.

Abstract:

<em>The purpose of this study was to compare workplace diversity perceptions between a US and Hispanic population. This study used the diversity perceptions of a sample of US business students and compared them with a sample of Hispanics using the Reaction to Diversity Inventory (RDI). The means of both samples were tested for significant differences at the p<.05 level using SPSS. A statistically significant difference was noted between the US sample and the Hispanic sample. The data analysis showed a between groups sum of squares=5892.35 and significance at p<.000 level. This study suggests that Hispanic perceptions of diversity are quite different than may be intuitively perceived or portrayed in the literature. The study also reinforces what is already stated in the literature, that collecting and analyzing perceptions can help determine if an organization’s workplace is viable to support diversity initiatives. This study is one among a limited collection of research on Hispanic perceptions of diversity behaviors in the US workforce and illustrates how cultural values of majority-minority populations can potentially impact the design and implementation of diversity initiatives, especially within a global workforce environment.</em>

Abstract:

Abstract Abstract 3488 Poster Board III-425 Neutralizing inhibitor formation occurs in up to 20-30% of patients with severe factor VIII deficiency, leading to significantly increased morbidity in affected individuals. It has been well-established that patients of African descent have a higher prevalence of inhibitor development. [Oldenburg, J et al. Semin Hematol, 2004] The Hispanic population also has been assumed to have an increase in inhibitor development when compared with Caucasians. The study presented here is the first to definitively demonstrate an increased prevalence of inhibitors in the Hispanic population. We compared inhibitor prevalence among various racial and ethnic groups in a cross-sectional analysis of 6198 males with severe hemophilia A that participated in the Universal Data Collection project sponsored by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. We used logistic regression analysis to control for potential confounding variables including age, insurance type (as a proxy for access to care and socio-economic status), age at first bleed, age at diagnosis and use of prophylaxis. The included table shows those variables that were determined to be independently predictive of inhibitors. We assigned Mexican derivation to participants who labeled themselves as Hispanic and who were born either in Mexico, in states bordering Mexico or in states with large Mexican populations as established by Census data. The prevalence of high titer inhibitors in the Mexican-Hispanic population was 26.3% compared to 16.4% for Caucasian patients [OR 1.5, 95% CI 1.1, 1.9], and 26.8% for African-Americans. The underlying cause of increased inhibitor prevalence in these populations is still unknown, though a recent study in African-Americans demonstrated wild-type factors unique from commercially available product. [Viel KR, et al. Inhibitor of Factor VIII in Black Patients with Hemophilia. N Engl J Med, 2009] Further investigation of this phenomenon in the Mexican-Hispanic population, as well as the potential impact of differing immune responses, is warranted.

Abstract:

Introduction: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third leading cancer cause of death among US Hispanics. CRC screening among the Hispanic population is lower compared with non-Hispanic Whites. Method: The purpose of this qualitative, exploratory study was to better understand the barriers and facilitators of CRC screening and preference for stool-based testing collection methods among the predominantly Hispanic population of El Paso, Texas. Nine focus groups were conducted by a trained bilingual facilitator with a moderator guide informed by the literature. Transcripts of the focus groups were entered into qualitative analysis software and a thematic network was developed. Results: Fifty-six participants were recruited: average age was 68.5 years, 58.9% were female, 98.2% were Hispanic, 87.5% had an annual income of less than $20,000, 58.9% had 9th grade education or less, 12.5% had a discount program, and 5.4% had no insurance. Barriers to CRC screening included cost, fear, and embarrassment. Facilitators to screening included in-person health education and physician recommendation. Participants preferred the hygienic nature of a stool test collected with a brush and bottle. Conclusion: Overall, there was a lack of knowledge regarding CRC and significant barriers to CRC screening. A community-based CRC screening program was subsequently developed from our findings.

Abstract:

Abstract Introduction: Disparities in the quality of care provided to minorities has been documented in the literature. Reliable racial/ethnic reporting is critical, as initiatives to address healthcare disparities remain priorities on the national agenda. Hispanic children have been cited as having a higher incidence of leukemia/lymphoma but poorer survival rates. Accurate attribution of disease incidence and outcome to specific populations is central to ensuring appropriate access to care, family communication, resource distribution and funding for research. Analysis of 2000-2010 Hematology/Oncology data at Rady Children's Hospital San Diego (RCHSD) found a 13.02% discrepancy rate for race/ethnicity accuracy and 21% self-report rate. RCHSD is a pediatric medical center serving San Diego, Imperial, and southern Riverside counties in California, where Hispanic children comprise 42% of the population. While there is consensus regarding the importance of self-reporting of race/ethnicity, we identified both significant lack of self-reported race/ethnicity data and varied forms used to collect patient demographics at our site. Research has shown that most observers including administrative staff will accurately identify individuals as white or black, but Hispanic and multiracial individuals are often misidentified. Purpose: The Global Aim of this study was to improve resource allocation, patient-provider engagement and access to race/ethnicity and language data for research through correct race/ethnicity/language attribution. Our SMART aim was to implement a uniform and accurate system for data collection on race/ethnicity and language for the hematology/oncology population at our hospital with a reduction of missing and discrepant data to <2% within 6 months. Design/Methods: We conducted a quality improvement pilot project to achieve our Global Aim. Plan-Do -Study-Act method was used. P: Key stakeholders used Fishbone analysis and flow charting and several barriers to processes and possible interventions were identified. A new single form (English and Spanish) was created to obtain self-reported race/ethnicity and information on preferred language of written medical information, and preferred spoken language. A decision map to aid parents in question answering and information sheet were also created. Staff was trained to assist parents and document in the Electronic Medical Record (EMR). D: Self-reported data was obtained from 200 patients during a 6-week period. S: Pre and Post rates of self-reported race/ethnicity and language data completion and accuracy rates were compared. Accuracy rates for race/ethnicity and language were calculated by comparing existing demographic information in the EMR system at RCHSD versus demographic information collected with the new form. A: Data was presented to Hospital Quality Council; plan to embed tools in EMR and pilot a second population. Results: We found that race/ethnicity information was not collected in a uniform and consistent manner. Seven different demographic data collection forms were replaced by the new form. Discrepancy rate was reduced to 1.2%, a reduction of 90% (chi-square 19.073, p<0.001) and self-report rate was increased to 97%, an increase of 76% (chi-square 191.318, p<0.001). Forty-eight percent of individuals self-identified as Hispanic, 13% preferred Spanish as the language for spoken and written medical material, and in 21% patients, Spanish was the language spoken at home. Conclusions: Identifying barriers, reducing variability with a single data collection tool, and adjunct tools improved race/ethnicity/language accuracy. Next steps include definitive implementation and expansion to entire hospital. Collecting accurate information on patients' race/ethnicity and language should be a universal practice, enabling to understand and address disparities in childhood cancer.

Abstract:

Utilizing a community-based participatory research mode (CBPR), a local university completed a needs assessment study of an emerging immigrant population’s service needs and perceived barriers for accessing services in their suburban community settings. The study participants included: (1) one hundred and fourteen Hispanic immigrant residents participating in twelve bi-lingual facilitator-led focus-group sessions, (2) eighteen community service providers, and (3) nine Hispanic community leaders. All three groups identified common unmet service needs in the areas of health care, ESL education, and social services as well as the lack of bi-lingual social workers/mental health staff and bilingual interpreter staff in service agencies as major barriers to service provision and access. The study findings point to the benefits of university-community collaborations when advocating for the creation of community intra- and inter-structures that support the development of services in suburban and small city settings for the influx of Hispanic immigrant/migrant populations.

Abstract:

We present results from the first year of a three-year extramurally funded project involving a partnership between an ethnically diverse urban high school and professional research botanists. The goals are to provide students exposure to real-world science, broaden interest in scientific fields of study, and increase floristic data and herbarium specimen collections in under-sampled areas of Solano County, California. A floristic survey was conducted in a 425-acre, open-space public park in Vacaville, California, that is actively grazed by cattle and characterized by grasses, forbs, and oaks. A total of 77 students were enrolled in the course associated with the partnership, and 47 participated in four visits to the collection site. Twenty-five unique plant specimens were collected, including 14 native and 11 introduced species. Results of a student perception survey suggest that the partnership has had a positive impact on students’ understanding of scientific methodology and interest in pursuing a science career. Perception survey results were disaggregated by ethnicity; Hispanic students, more than any other group, indicated that they feel more confident in scientific research and writing skills. There was no significant difference between male and female students’ responses.

Abstract:

Abstract In the Gennadius Library of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens, Greece, is a heretofore unknown large-format volume that contains many extra illustrations, original drawings, and proofs of plates for The Arabian Antiquities of Spain by James Cavanah Murphy (1760–1814). Based on research conducted between 1802 and 1809, The Arabian Antiquities of Spain features engravings of major monuments of Hispano-Islamic architecture, including the Alhambra, the Great Mosque at Cordoba, and the Generalife at Granada; the work was published posthumously in 1816. Since the Gennadius volume also includes sketches of Islamic monuments from Malaga, Seville, and Xeres, it appears that Murphy originally intended to publish a complete survey of Hispano-Islamic monuments in southern Spain. In the Gennadius volume, grangerized drawings are placed opposite published engravings for comparative purposes; the drawings include notes written by Murphy to the engravers, and several are hand-tinted, which reveal Murphy’s interest in polychromy. This article presents the newly discovered drawings in the Gennadius volume, which adds to our understanding of the monuments depicted in the published plates of Arabian Antiquities, and serves to position Murphy’s pioneering efforts in the context of architectural scholarship, chromolithography, and the book trade in the early nineteenth century.

Abstract:

The present study investigates the racial dating preferences of homosexual and heterosexual Hispanic males. Data used to conduct this study were collected from a popular online dating website ( N = 2,416). Logistic regression is utilized to determine the odds of a Hispanic male stating a preference for dating someone who is White, Black, Asian, and Hispanic. Findings suggest that gay Hispanic males, when compared with straight Hispanic males, are less likely to state a preference for dating an Asian person, a Hispanic person, and a Black person. Results also show that racial dating preferences of Hispanic males are shaped by educational attainment, political orientation, age, and religious orientation. These findings are discussed in relation to how racial ideology creates and perpetuates racial disparities in mate selection.

Abstract:

Abstract The councils from Hispania and Gallia are a rich depository that addressed the poor and poverty in the Gallic and Hispano-Roman/Suevic-Visigothic Councils, a topic that has not been explored adequately. For the first time a full consideration of the abundant conciliar evidence about caring for the needs of the poor is executed here. This essay analyzes all of the instances where the councils mention the poor and almsgiving to ameliorate their plight. One of the marks of holiness of Christians, clergy, and laity alike, is the care of the poor. Christ many times referred to the poor and the obligation of others to help them in his teaching and the Church did not lose sight of the obligation to care for those in poverty through individual or collective acts of charity. Paul did so as well and we find the same in some of the non-Pauline epistles of the New Testament. Overall, in the abundant collection of councils there are references to the concerns of the poor. The number of times that the poor are mentioned in the councils is not as numerous as we might expect; there are enough of them that merit our attention, however. The circumstances, moreover, that elicited attention to the poor is diverse and quite revealing. The poor although abundant – we do not know the percentages – in that society could potentially be treated, as in any age, as outcasts that were marginalized or forgotten. This explains why the Church was ever busy admonishing the faithful who did not suffer poverty to remember the poor and be generous to them.

Abstract Context Minority young adults (YA) currently represent the largest growing population with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and experience very poor outcomes. Modifiable drivers of disparities need to be identified, but are not well-studied. Objective To describe racial-ethnic disparities among YA with T1D and identify drivers of glycemic disparity other than socioeconomic status (SES). Design Cross-sectional multicenter collection of patient and chart-reported variables, including SES, social determinants of health, and diabetes-specific factors, with comparison between non-Hispanic White, non-Hispanic Black, and Hispanic YA and multilevel modeling to identify variables that account for glycemic disparity apart from SES. Setting Six diabetes centers across the United States. Participants A total of 300 YA with T1D (18-28 years: 33% non-Hispanic White, 32% non-Hispanic Black, and 34% Hispanic). Main Outcome Racial-ethnic disparity in HbA1c levels. Results Non-Hispanic Black and Hispanic YA had lower SES, higher HbA1c levels, and much lower diabetes technology use than non-Hispanic White YA (P < 0.001). Non-Hispanic Black YA differed from Hispanic, reporting higher diabetes distress and lower self-management (P < 0.001). After accounting for SES, differences in HbA1c levels disappeared between non-Hispanic White and Hispanic YA, whereas they remained for non-Hispanic Black YA (+ 2.26% [24 mmol/mol], P < 0.001). Diabetes technology use, diabetes distress, and disease self-management accounted for a significant portion of the remaining non-Hispanic Black–White glycemic disparity. Conclusion This study demonstrated large racial-ethnic inequity in YA with T1D, especially among non-Hispanic Black participants. Our findings reveal key opportunities for clinicians to potentially mitigate glycemic disparity in minority YA by promoting diabetes technology use, connecting with social programs, and tailoring support for disease self-management and diabetes distress to account for social contextual factors.

Abstract:

Hispanic youth are entering the U.S. labor market in increasing numbers. Their experiences and outcomes can teach us about the degree to which Hispanic migrants and their children are successfully integrating into U.S. society. While we know about the disadvantages Hispanic immigrant youth face in securing professional careers, less is known about the strategies they use to navigate their labor market options in response to these obstacles and as a way to express their agency. Using data collected from interviews, questionnaires, mental maps, and journals with Hispanic immigrant youth, this article demonstrates the social and spatial strategies Hispanic immigrant youth employ to access work. Such strategies include leveraging institutional and familial connections, advertising their bilingualism, working close to home, and navigating stereotypes. Insight into these strategies can help educators, policy makers, and immigrant families determine how best to support Hispanic immigrant youth as they transition from school to work.

Abstract:

Context.—Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States and worldwide. Biomarker testing is critical to personalized therapy in lung adenocarcinoma and has been extensively investigated in non-Hispanic whites, Asians, and African Americans. However, little information addresses the underlying genetic changes in lung adenocarcinoma among Hispanic patients in the United States. Objective.—To identify targetable biomarkers other than EGFR and EML4-ALK in Hispanic patients with lung adenocarcinoma. Design.—We tested DNA extracted from 85 lung adenocarcinoma specimens collected from 40 Hispanic and 43 non-Hispanic white patients for previously reported mutations in KRAS, MET, BRAF, mTOR, STAT3, JAK2, PIK3CA, AKT1 through AKT3, and PTEN with a custom Sequenom massARRAY assay (Sequenom, San Diego, California). Results.—Mutations in KRAS were identified in 11 cases (13%; 6 Hispanic [7%], 5 non-Hispanic white [6%]) and had no correlation with sex, age, or smoking history. Mutations in PIK3CA were identified in 2 of the 40 Hispanic patients (5%), including one patient (2.5%) with a concurrent KRAS mutation. The tumors were wild type for all other genes tested. Conclusions.—Targetable biomarkers other than EGFR and EML4-ALK were identified in 7 of the 40 Hispanic patients (18%) and 5 of the 43 non-Hispanic white patients (12%), suggesting a similar mutational frequency. Our highly multiplexed genotyping assay detected actionable mutations in 14% (12 of 83) more patients than would have been identified by EGFR and EML4-ALK testing alone.

Abstract:

Purpose – The purpose of the paper is to examine the relationship between family-related factors and academic performance for Asian and Hispanic immigrant students. Design/methodology/approach – The study used data drawn from the Children of Immigrants Longitudinal Study. Data were collected from second-generation immigrant students in forms of surveys. A total of 10th to 12th grade Asian (n=3,022) and Hispanic immigrant students (n=1,664) reported their family income, father’s and mother’ education, parents’ education aspiration for them, their own education aspiration, English proficiency, family cohesion, and parent-child conflict. Their school performance indicated by grade point average demonstrated in school records was also collected. Data were analyzed with analysis of variance and regression techniques. Findings – Family income and parent-child conflict were identified as predictors of immigrant students’ grade point average. When regression analyses were conducted separately for Asian and Hispanic students, different patterns emerged. Family income and parent-child conflict predicted Hispanic immigrant students’ academic performance whereas parent education aspiration and family income predicted Asian immigrant students’ academic performance. Originality/value – The current study was among the first to examine how family emotional factors related to Asian and Hispanic immigrant students’ academic performance. The findings demonstrated some interesting patterns in terms of how different family-related factors contributed to the two immigrant student groups. It added to the existing literature about what distinguished Asian and Hispanic immigrant students’ academic achievement.
