BackgroundFor cities aiming to create a useful surveillance system for bicycle injuries, a common challenge is that city crash reporting is scattered, faulty or non-existent. We document some of the lessons we learnt in helping the city of Boston, Massachusetts, USA, do the following: (1) Create a prototype for a comprehensive police crash data set (2) Produce the city’s first cyclist safety report, (3) Make crash data available to the public and (4) Generate policy recommendations for both specific roadside improvements and for sustainable changes to the police department’s crash reporting database.MethodsWe provided research and technical assistance to government partners to generate the report and used participant-observation field notes to generate the list of learnt lessons.ResultsAfter the release of the report, the city implemented immediate activities aimed at making an effort to prevent injuries, including: (1) Furnishing over 1800 taxis with stickers to prevent ‘dooring,’ (2) Adding pavement markings at trolley tracks to decrease the likelihood that cyclists would fall from getting their wheels lodged in the tracks, (3) Conducting targeted enforcement of traffic laws and (4) Working directly with state and federal agencies to fund a more comprehensive surveillance system. As of January of 2017, nearly 4 years after its public release, 19 170 users have viewed the crash data set 23 247 times. Some of the lessons include finding and using committed champions, prioritising the use of existing data, creating opportunities to bridge divisions between stakeholders, partnering with local universities for assistance with advanced analytics and using deliverables, such as a cyclist safety report, to advocate for sustainability.ConclusionProviding an initial report on bicycle crashes in Boston served to identify specific problems, showed the value of a data system, and provided a blueprint for an improved data system. Building a useful surveillance system depends in no small part on the wise use of advocacy, group dynamics, and politics. Our hope is that the lessons learnt from our experience in Boston can help others do even better.

4059 Background: Regionalization has been proposed for high-level care, including multidisciplinary cancer treatment and complex procedures. Pancreatic resections can serve as a marker for both. Using Massachusetts Division of Health Care Finance and Policy (DHCFP) data, we investigated regionalization of surgery for pancreatic cancer (PCa), its potential effect on perioperative outcomes, and disparities in access to high-volume PCa surgery centers. Methods: Using MA DHCFP Hospital Inpatient Discharge Data, 2005-2009, 10,524 discharges for PCa were identified, of which 746 were associated with pancreatic resection. Discharges with missing or out-of-state residence were excluded (n=704). Using geodetic methods and ZIP codes, center-to-center distances were calculated between patient (pt) and treating hospital. Median ZIP income was estimated from 2009 census data. High volume hospitals (4 of 25 performing pancreatic resections in MA) were defined using Leapfrog Criteria (> 11 per year (87th percentile for MA). Chi-square and logistic regression analyses were performed using SAS software. Results: Median age was 65. Pts were predominantly White (87.2%), with median ZIP income of $54,677. Pts travelled in-state up to 112 miles (median 15.4), with the majority resected at high volume hospitals (76%). Median length of stay (LOS) was 8.0 days, with LOS>1 week associated with low volume hospitals (p=0.0002). Of 14 in-hospital deaths, 7 were at low volume hospitals (4.14% of 169 pts) compared to 7 at high volume hospitals (1.31% of 535 pts) (p=0.0214). Predictors of shorter travel distance were: Black race (OR 4.45 (95% CI 1.66-11.93)), operation at low volume hospital (OR 2.62 (95% CI 1.81-3.77), and increased age (per year) (OR 1.02 (95% CI 1.00-1.03), but not sex or median income. Conclusions: Using MA statewide discharge data, regionalization of pancreatic cancer surgery to high-volume, better-outcome centers is seen to be occurring. However, it is not uniform, and disparities exist between groups of cancer pts that do and do not travel for their care. In the current era of scrutiny on cost, quality, and access to cancer care, further study into predictors of pts receiving optimal care is warranted.

The implementation of the employee assistance program in the New Jersey State Police was studied over a three-year period. Quesionnaires were sent to a stratified random sample of sworn members once each year for three years. The questionnaire contained items to measure the degree of diffusion, receptivity, and the use of the program. The initial hypothesis was that the implementation of the program would follow the three-phase process of diffusion receptivity and use. The result of the first survey indicated the program was in the diffusion stage with more than 69% of the troopers having heard of the employee assistance program. Response to the receptivity items revealed there was an awareness and sensitivity to the need for the program and its potential benefits. The results of the second survey showed that the diffusion stage was strengthened with 78% of the response having heard of the program. Receptivity to the program had not increased significantly and use was minimal. On the basis of these results, recommendations were made to enlarge and enhance certain program elements. The results of the third survey were quite similar to those of the second. The program was largely in the diffusion stage and was little into receptivity and utilization. Innovative procedures were recommended to move the program into an integral part of the Division.

Full textAbstract:
he study analyzes the experience of advanced democracies, as well as some postSoviet states that have implemented successful reforms and joined the European Union, on models for building a civil service system and the division of civil servants into categories, types and groups. It is noted that the civil service is classified according to various criteria, in accordance with the division by branches of government service is allocated in the legislative, executive, judicial branches, there is a division into civil, specialized and militarized civil service (the latter include police). It is emphasized that the specifics of the civil service system and, accordingly, the place of service in the police were influenced by a number of factors, namely the historical development of the state, the legal system, the form of the state. In accordance with such traditions, there are three groups of models of foreign civil service: organizational models with a division into centralized and decentralized, a model of openness with a division into career, job or open, Anglo-Saxon and continental (from the standpoint of Western civilization). It is also outlined that due to traditions in the world, the terms "civil service", "public service", "civil service" are interpreted differently. Specific examples of division into different categories of civil servants and the place among such division in France, Germany, Hungary are considered. Particular attention is paid to the legislation of the Republic of Lithuania, which regulates civil service and the place of service in the police in the general system. It is noted that police officers are statutory civil servants who are subject to special legislation determining the specifics of service, selection and dismissal, their system of ranks, etc., and who are not covered by the Law "On Civil Service" of the Republic of Lithuania.

Full textAbstract:
Policing as an institution has been under immense pressure to increase the representation of women as police patrol officers. As the representation of women in policing has plateaued, increasing research has focused on barriers to women entering patrol work but has not examined the salience of these barriers with respect to males or reliably determined which barriers are most influential to desire to enter a police patrol career prior to employment. Drawing upon survey responses from more than 640 students enrolled in criminal justice courses across five universities (i.e., University of Southern Mississippi, Illinois State University, University of Massachusetts-Lowell, Indiana University-Purdue University Indiana, and Missouri State University), the current inquiry examines the degree to which female and male students differ in their perceptions of barriers to entering a patrol career frequently listed in the literature. The findings indicate that female students view many of these obstacles differently than male students and that these perceptions influence interest in patrol careers.

Nevertheless, the problem lies in the uncertainty of these powers given the police system. Given problems related to the normative component of policing, it is appropriate and relevant to refer to the foreign practice of the police, in particular to identify some features of their competence. We suggest that police competence is understood as a set of rights and responsibilities of a police officer, as well as the services provided by him. Analysing the experience of the Latvian police, it is necessary to note the differentiation of the police body depending on the field of activity and direct subordination. The Latvian police system has the following police units: the State Police, the Security Police, the Self-Government Police and the Port Police. Police activity in Lithuania has certain features of the stages of reforming the Lithuanian police such as depoliticization, professional development of the law enforcement system, active fight against corruption, provision of law enforcement services to the population, cooperation with the European community, deepening integration processes of internal security. Conclusions and prospects for the development. It is appropriate to establish a legal definition of each structural unit of the police and their main powers, as well as to propose the division of police powers depending on their rights, responsibilities and services. Specific changes should concern both the Law of Ukraine «On the National Police» and bylaws, in particular the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of 04.06.2007 «On approval of the list of paid services provided by units … of the National Police», the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of 28.10.2015. «On approval of the Regulations on the National Police».

Full textAbstract:
In forensic toxicology, opioids are frequently associated with drug abuse or drug-related death cases. An optimal method for use in the identification and quantification of opioids in a complex blood matrix is of paramount importance. Along with the ability to identify and quantitate opioids, this method should be accurate, sensitive, and selective. The application of sample pre-treatment and solid-phase extraction are common to purify and concentrate the target analytes before analyzing with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry.
The purpose of this study was to compare the performance of two standard operating procedures, adopted by the Massachusetts State Police Crime Laboratory Toxicology and the Biomedical Forensic Sciences– Toxicology Laboratory at Boston University School of Medicine, for detecting opioids in blood. A total of eight drugs were analyzed: 6-monoacetylmorphine, codeine, fentanyl, hydrocodone, morphine, norhydrocodone, oxycodone, and oxymorphone. Comparison was performed using the parameters studied as part of method validation, including calibration model, bias, precision, carryover, interferences, ionization suppression/enhancement, and recovery.
The results indicated that the method from Massachusetts State Police provided a better performance with between-run precision, interferences from matrix and other commonly encountered drugs, matrix effect at high concentration (250 ng/mL) and matrix recovery. Meanwhile, the method from Biomedical Forensic Sciences showed less bias, within-run precision, and matrix effect at low concentrations. Carryover and internal standard interference were comparable in both standard operating procedures. The calibration models were adjusted by altering the selection of regression model for improved quantification method performance. The volume of solvents, sample matrix, as well as time, were taken into consideration in accessing the overall performance of identification and quantitation. Both procedures were comparable yet the one from Massachusetts State Police was more beneficial in identifying the target analytes with greater sensitivity and selectivity and the one from Biomedical Forensic Sciences was more economical and efficient.

AbstractThe federal administration is significantly small (around 10 percent of all public employees). This speciality of the German administrative system is based on the division of responsibilities: the central (federal) level drafts and adopts most of the laws and public programmes, and the state level (together with the municipal level) implements them. The administration of the federal level comprises the ministries, subordinated agencies for special and selected operational tasks (e.g. the authorisation of drugs, information security and registration of refugees) in distinct administrative sectors (e.g. foreign service, armed forces and federal police). The capacity for preparing and monitoring government bills and statutory instruments is well developed. Moreover, the instruments and tools of coordination are exemplary compared with other countries, although the recent digital turn has been adopted less advanced than elsewhere.

While Chapter 2 mainly refers to the lack of separation between roles and personalities, this chapter draws attention to the fading division between the Dutch police and its organizational environment. It argues that police power is now often divided across a multiplicity of organizations. This expanded notion of the police prompts us to look beyond the police organization, particularly when we want to understand an urgent matter such as police discrimination. The chapter engages with the literature on the ‘policing of migration’, as it is mainly in this field that diffuse, or networked policing has quickly advanced. Second, it provides detailed empirical data on how migrants experience borders within the nation-state due to a thickening of borderlands.

Abstract This chapter explores the authority of state and local governments to regulate public health at their respective levels. First, the chapter explains the states’ broad “police powers” and the related Jacobson v. Massachusetts Supreme Court decision. It then details local public health powers and how those interact with state powers. The chapter contrasts two rules that set the scope of local public health authority in different states: Dillon’s Rule and home rule. The chapter also discusses the doctrine of state preemption, which varies in its specifics from state to state, and it concludes by explaining how state legislatures can create administrative agencies and delegate authority to them.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter utilizes the structure of life and valid inference to analyze the internal structure of Civil Society and the State as well as the relationship between the two institutional spheres. The chapter unpacks the passage from the Logic in which Hegel describes the State as a totality of inferences with the three terms of individuals, their needs, and the government. It is shown that the “system of needs” itself forms a quasi-living institutional system of estates centered on the division of labor. This system’s inadequacy motivates the role of the “police” and corporation as ethical agencies, forms of the Good, within Civil Society. While the move to the State overcomes the individualism of “needs,” the right of the individual remains in the dynamics of “settling one’s own account” in receiving from the State a return on one’s duty to the State. Hegel treats the State proper as a constitution consisting of three powers of government that form a totality of inferential relations that has the full structure of a living organism. The executive power is examined in detail as the particularizing element in the system.

Full textAbstract:
The chapter is devoted to discussing constitutional and criminal law as it existed in selected countries of Central and Eastern Europe between 1944 and 1989 (Czechoslovakia, the German Democratic Republic, Romania, Hungary, and Poland). As a result of the great powers’ decisions, these countries came under the direct supervision of the Soviet Union and adopted totalitarian political solutions from it. This meant rejecting the idea of the tripartite division of power and affirming the primacy of the community (propaganda-wise: the state pursuing the interests of the working class) over the individual. As a result, regardless of whether the state was formally unitary or federal, power was shaped hierarchically, with full power belonging to the legislative body and the body appointing other organs of the state. However, the text constantly draws attention to the radical discrepancy between the content of the normative acts and the systemic practice in the states mentioned. In reality, real power was in the hands of the communist party leaders controlling society through an extensive administrative apparatus linked to the communist party structure, an apparatus of violence (police, army, prosecution, courts, prisons, and concentration and labor camps), a media monopoly, and direct management of the centrally controlled economy. From a doctrinal point of view, the abovementioned states were totalitarian regardless of the degree of use of violence during the period in question. Criminal law was an important tool for communist regimes’ implementation of the power monopoly. In the Stalinist period, there was a tendency in criminal law to move away from the classical school’s achievements. This was expressed, among other means, by emphasizing the importance of the concept of social danger and the marginalization of the idea of guilt for the construction of the concept of crime. After 1956, the classical achievements of the criminal law doctrine were gradually restored in individual countries, however – especially in special sections of the criminal codes – much emphasis was placed on penalizing acts that the communist regime a priori considered to be a threat to its existence. Thus, also in the field of criminal law, a difference was evident between the guarantees formally existing in the legislation and the criminal reality of the functioning of the state.

Full textAbstract:
Svetozar Pribićević was the first Minister of the Interior of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes for an uninterrupted duration, from December 20, 1918 to February 19, 1920. Around half of this period he was a minister while Stojan Protić was at the head of the government, and around half while the prime minister was his party partner Ljubomir Davidović. Although he came to the head of the Ministry of Interior with the support of the People’s Radical Party (Narodna radikalna stranka, NRS), within a few months there was a disagreement between them based on the differences in the view of the internal administration in the country. Pribićević passionately advocated state centralism and Yugoslav unitarism, which only partly agreed with the radical point of view. His dogmatized application of the unitary state and regime assumed only the supporters of his coalition political party, the future Yugoslav Democratic Party (Jugoslavenska demokratska stranka, JDS). Any opposition to this kind of state organization was labeled as anti-state, in the Croatian case as separatist, and the response of his regime included the violence of the repressive apparatus and the suppression of all oppositional expression. During his mandate in the Ministry of Interior, Pribićević established the structure of its activities, including the activities of the Department for public security, which was immediately recognized as the political police. He paid special attention to the former Austro-Hungarian territories, especially Croatia and Slavonia. He installed his supporters, Ivan Paleček and later Tomislav Tomljenović, to the postitions of Croatian Ban, who then appointed officials at lower levels according to his ideological expectations. In the area of Banat, Bačka and Baranja, he established the State Secret Police whose task was to monitor the non-Serb population, which was also suspected of being an anti-state element. This practice of monitoring society was maintained throughout the entire duration of monarchist Yugoslavia. During this period, Pribićević made 2,353 personnel decisions that related to 1,538 people, most of whom were promoted from the existing administrative systems. The largest number of decisions related to the territory of Serbia and Southern Serbia, i.e. Macedonia, Kosovo and Metohy. These decisions also had a direct impact on his coalition relationship with the NRS, which accused Pribićević of favoring democratic sympathizers, to the detriment of radical members. The exceptional influence of the democratic current on personnel decisions implemented by Pribićević in the Ministry of Interior supports the conclusion that there could be no question of the alleged division of responsibility between him and Marko Trifković, whereby Pribićević was in charge only of the former Austro-Hungarian territories.

At approximately one o’clock on a cold, rainy, and blustery New England day, 6 March 1889, Mr. Robertson James ambled up the front stone steps to the grand oak door located at 5 Boylston Place on Beacon Hill near the Massachusetts State House. On the other side lay the offices of the American Society for Psychical Research, where his brother William James, the psychologist and philosopher, and Richard Hodgson, the organization’s secretary, awaited him. Robertson had come directly to inform them that the James brothers’ aunt—Mrs. Catherine Walsh—had just passed away. Although “Aunt Kate’s” death certificate stated that she had died at “about 12 o’clock midnight,” her nephew had just been notified that she had passed away about 2:00 or 2:30 A.M. earlier that morning. Robertson, however, had not arrived from the coroner’s office, the hospital, the police station, or her bedside. Nor had he spoken with any physicians, nurses, aids, or relatives. Rather, he had just returned from a séance with Mrs. Leonora Piper, the trance medium whose primary control “Dr. Phinuit,” purporting to be in contact with Aunt Kate’s spirit in the “other world,” had announced the news. According to a statement signed by all three men, “Mrs. Walsh has been ill for some time and had been expected during the last few days to die at any hour. This is written before any despatch has been received informing [us] of the death.” Mrs. Alice Gibbens James, William’s wife and a Spiritualist enthusiast, also had participated in the séance. When she inquired about Aunt Kate, Mrs. Piper replied that “she is poorly” and suddenly threw her head back and blurted out, “Aunt Kate has come.” Mrs. Piper informed Mrs. James that when she returned home that evening she would find a “letter or telegram … saying she was gone.” When the Jameses did return home, William wrote, “I found a telegram as ...

Full textAbstract:
Before the outbreak of violence in 1969 radio and television broadcasts that addressed Northern Ireland were subject to an extraordinary, though quiet, form of censorship in an effort to conceal a society riven by division and plagued by discrimination. From the early days of radio, the BBC in Northern Ireland proved incredibly deferential to a unionist establishment that had little time for the nationalist community. Once ‘the Troubles’ arrived, this passive deference ended and with more critical, often times aggressive, reporting the spectre of draconian government intervention took root. In London Labour and Conservative governments alike denounced programmes that delved into grievances of the minority community or questioned the policies, tactics, and priorities of the army and police. The incessant wrangling resulted in informal self-censorship and finally the infamous broadcasting ban. The imposition of state censorship in 1988 undermined the freedom of the press and compromised free speech in one of the world’s foremost democracies. In the end the self-censorship developed by nervous broadcasting officials and the more direct version imposed by the Thatcher government did nothing to resolve the conflict. Threatening, bullying, denouncing, and finally censoring the broadcast media did not enable London to control the contested narrative of ‘the Troubles’. This book explores how the broadcast media struggled to explain to regional, national, and international audiences the complexities of the conflict. It argues that news and current affairs programming played a critical role in reminding people of the persistence of a long and bloody conflict forcing a realization that the voices the Thatcher government silenced were critical in bringing an end to Northern Ireland’s ‘Troubles’.

Full textAbstract:
A project to reduce frictional losses from natural gas engines is currently being carried out by a collaborative team from Waukesha Engine Dresser, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Colorado State University (CSU). This project is part of the Advanced Reciprocating Engine System (ARES) program led by the US Department of Energy. Previous papers have discussed the computational tools used to evaluate piston-ring/cylinder friction and described the effects of changing various ring pack parameters on engine friction. These computational tools were used to optimize the ring pack of a Waukesha VGF 18-liter engine, and this paper presents the experimental results obtained on the engine test bed. Measured reductions in friction mean effective pressure (FMEP) were observed with a low tension oil control ring (LTOCR) and a skewed barrel top ring (SBTR). A negative twist second ring (NTSR) was used to counteract the oil consumption increase due to the LTOCR. The LTOCR and SBTR each resulted in a ∼ 0.50% improvement in mechanical efficiency (ηmech).

A project to reduce frictional losses from natural gas engines is currently being carried out by a collaborative team from Waukesha Engine Dresser, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Colorado State University (CSU), and ExxonMobil. This project is part of the Advanced Reciprocating Engine System (ARES) program led by the US Department of Energy. Changes in lubrication oil have been identified as a way to potentially help meet the ARES goal of developing a natural gas engine with 50% brake thermal efficiency. Previous papers have discussed the computational tools used to evaluate piston-ring/cylinder friction and described the effects of changing various lubrication oil parameters on engine friction. These computational tools were used to predict the effects of changing lubrication oil of a Waukesha VGF 18-liter engine, and this paper presents the experimental results obtained on the engine test bed. Measured reductions in friction mean effective pressure (FMEP) were observed with lower viscosity lubrication oils. Test oil LEF-H (20W) resulted in a ∼ 1.9% improvement in mechanical efficiency (ηmech) and a ∼ 16.5% reduction in FMEP vs. a commercial reference 40W oil. This improvement is a significant step in reaching the ARES goals.

Full textAbstract:
The T407/GLC38 turboprop/turboshaft engine is a 6000 shaft horsepower (SHP) class gas turbine engine currently under joint development by Textron Lycoming of Stratford, Connecticut, and GE Aircraft Engines of Lynn, Massachusetts, with Bendix Control of South Bend, Indiana, a division of Allied Signal; Ruston Gas Turbines Limited of Great Britain, part of GEC ALSTHOM; and Steel Products Engineering Company (SPECO) of Springfield, Ohio. The powerplant is derived from the highly successful GE27 Modern Technology Demonstrator Engine (MTDE) program, which was conducted under the auspices of the U.S. Army in the mid-1980s. The T407 turboprop is currently under development for the U.S. Navy’s new P-7A anti-submarine warfare (ASW) aircraft. The P-7A will replace the P-3 and is under contract to Lockheed Aeronautical Systems Company (LASC). A T407 turboshaft model is also in development. The GLC38 commercial turboprop version, planned for both business and commuter aircraft, draws considerably on lessons learned through GE and Textron Lycoming’s extensive commercial experience, thereby ensuring the latest state of the art in maintainability, life, reliability, and ease of operation. The T407/GLC38 engine development program, scheduled for completion in December 1991, is uniquely defined to meet the stringent requirements of both Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations and Military Specification MIL-E-008593E. The engine’s primary identity will be commercial, however, as per agreement with the U.S. Navy. The engine’s gas generator core is also part of a joint venture between the Garrett Engine Division of Allied Signal Corporation and GE. Garrett is responsible for developing the fan and power turbine for a new generation turbofan engine, the CFE738. This paper describes the key features of the T407/GLC38 engine design, performance, and development program.

Full textAbstract:
The T407/GLC38 is a modern technology 6000 SHP class turboshaft/turboprop gas turbine engine which is being developed jointly by Textron Lycoming (Stratford, Connecticut), General Electric Aircraft Engines (Lynn, Massachusetts), Bendix Controls (South Bend, Indiana), and Ruston Gas Turbines (Great Britain). The gas generator core for the T407/GLC38 engine series is also common to the CFE738, a new generation turbofan which is being developed by General Electric and the Garret Engine Division. The T407 (military)/GLC38 (commercial) is a derivative of the highly successful U.S. Army/GE27 MTDE engine which has been redesigned to meet commercial engine life standards. The design philosophy for this engine was directed at achieving high output power per unit airflow, reliability from reduced parts count, ease of maintenance via extensive modularity, and state-of-the-art SFC levels that are up to 25% below those of existing 5000–6000 SHP powerplants. The latter characteristic manifests itself in reduced life cycle and direct operating costs and (where applicable) tradeoff versatility amongst range, time on station, and payload increase. This paper is a continuation in a documentary series on the T407/GLC38 design and development. It traces the evolution of the T407/GLC38 program from First Engine to Test, wherein all thermodynamic and mechanical objectives were essentially achieved or exceeded, through full system turboprop evaluation, turbofan development testing, and qualification/certification testing completed to date. A comprehensive review of the test objectives, testing requirements, setup, and basic results are provided; in addition, the relevancy and impact of each phase of engine testing towards the goal of qualification/certification and ultimately production is provided.
