Abstract:
This article examines the role that demographics and population trends play in determining attainment rates in countries around the world. For the U.S., consistent increases over time in the numbers of degrees awarded have been offset by increases in birthrates among minority groups and immigration among poorly educated workers, both of which tend to depress the attainment rate. By contrast, many of the countries that have overtaken the U.S. in their higher education attainment rates have declining numbers of young adults. This means that they are educating a higher share of a declining base o

Abstract:
As machine learning methods become more powerful and capture more nuances of human behavior, biases in the dataset can shape what the model learns and is evaluated on. This paper explores and attempts to quantify the uncertainties and biases due to annotator demographics when creating sentiment analysis datasets. We ask >1000 crowdworkers to provide their demographic information and annotations for multimodal sentiment data and its component modalities. We show that demographic differences among annotators impute a significant effect on their ratings, and that these effects also occur in ea

Purpose: The main objective of this study was to investigate migration patterns and the changing demographics of Nigeria.
 Methodology: The study adopted a desktop research methodology. Desk research refers to secondary data or that which can be collected without fieldwork. Desk research is basically involved in collecting data from existing resources hence it is often considered a low cost technique as compared to field research, as the main cost is involved in executive’s time, telephone charges and directories.

Diversity is a catalyst for progress that prevents institutional stagnation and, by extension, averts descent to mediocrity.

We report that the current United States HPB surgical workforce does not reflect the population it serves.

Abstract:
Background: Low cancer screening rates among specific demographics are major health issues that lead to disparities in health outcomes. Early cancer detection is crucial for cure; however, it is not well known how age, race, gender, primary care access, and socio-economic status affect cancer screening rates. This review discusses the importance of cancer screening and the factors that affect screening rates. Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to investigate how access to primary care affects cancer screening rates, with consideration to age, race, socioeconomic status, and primary care acc

This study investigates the key factors influencing mobile money usage in Tanzania, focusing on technological determinants (mobile phone ownership, internet access, and bank account ownership), and demographic characteristics. Additionally, the study investigates the moderating role of financial literacy in shaping the relationship between these technological factors and mobile money usage. Grounded in the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB), the research uses a cross-sectional design with secondary data from the 2023 FSDT survey, including 9,915 individuals

Abstract:
Drawing on the importance of place has been shown to be a powerful tool in education. This paper explores place-based teaching (PBT) in geoscience courses at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa’s School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology, where faculty and student demographics sharply differ. Despite these differences, survey results from geoscience faculty (n=59) and students (n=83) revealed a strong consensus: 78% of students and 83% of faculty reported that PBT is an important and effective practice to reach all students. Most faculty (91%) indicated that they currently incorporate at

Abstract:
Many residents in large Californian metropolitan areas are heavily burdened by housing costs. Advocates, researchers, and elected officials in California are debating whether transit-oriented development (TOD) could be an effective tool to mitigate the housing affordability problem by increasing housing supply and reducing transportation costs in transit-rich neighborhoods. This study contributes to this debate by estimating how much Californian families can save on transportation costs by living in transit-oriented developments (TODs).

Maintaining adequate staffing levels to ensure public safety is a critical challenge for law enforcement agencies, especially with rising officer turnover driven by sociopolitical factors and changing workforce demographics.

These strategies are organized into five categories: (1) compensation and financial incentives, (2) career development and professional growth, (3) workplace environment and support, (4) wellness and resilience, and (5) feedback and organiz

Abstract:
Orotracheal intubation is a procedure that is considered a risk factor for the development of disorders related to the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). A proper TMJ assessment is required before and after inducing anesthesia to minimize temporomandibular complications. The objective of this pilot study was to assess the education, awareness, and confidence of anesthesia providers nationwide when evaluating TMJ in patients undergoing non-emergency orotracheal intubation.

Abstract:
The lack of diversity in leadership positions within the Australian university sector has been a persistent issue, with predominantly older, white, male leaders holding power and shaping the future of higher education. While student demographics have become more diverse, the leadership of academic institutions has not kept pace with these changes. Therefore, as student expectations and attitudes change, university communities are encouraged to (re)consider their commitment to proactively addressing the structural inequalities that continue to impact the journeys of the students we seek to serv

Latin American and Caribbean countries will face significant increases in future health expenditures. A variety of factors are responsible - population growth and aging, the epidemiological transition to noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), and economic growth and technology, among others. Increasing health expenditures are particularly concerning to countries in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) given growing levels of debt, insufficient fiscal revenues, and high out-of-pocket payments. The projected average annual per capita CHE growth rate from 2018-2050 is slightly higher in Latin American

Abstract:
This study examines how demographic changes lead to different household structures and housing choices among various age groups. It argues that the cointegration of demography, the housing market, and wealth has shaped housing demand in the country over time. The results have important, often unrecognized implications for housing policy. Estimating housing needs without a contextual analysis of household formation can be misleading; thus, the government must connect demographic changes to housing demand to ensure the correct policy framework is established that balances the needs of the produc
