Abstract:
Abstract Background: The Temple University Fox Chase Cancer Center and Hunter College Cancer Health Disparity Partnership (TUFCCC/HC Cancer Partnership) is a comprehensive collaborative cancer health research infrastructure in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York City (PNN) Region. Its goals are to enhance equity in cancer health through rigorous and sustainable cancer research, train the next generation of researchers, and establish community outreach programs. Establishing and strengthening a bidirectional academic-community partnership is a key component of this partnership. While such collaborative relationships have been strongly endorsed by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), little has been documented demonstrating how such partnership can be created and maintained. Objectives: Building on previous established collaborative relationships with the community-based organizations (CBOs), we created and expanded a bidirectional, academic–community partnership in African American, Asian American, and Latinx communities in the PNN region to (1) assess the level of awareness of cancer prevention knowledge; (2) identify community needs and barriers to cancer prevention healthcare services; (3) jointly develop and implement community-based educational initiatives to promote cancer prevention in medically underserved communities. Methods: In this presentation, we established a comprehensive evaluation metric to assess the bidirectional partnership. The metric, its outputs, and outcomes were adapted from the Evaluation Metrics Manual published by the National Institute of Environmental Health Services of NIH. We also formed a Community Advisory Board (CAB) to guide our bidirectional communication and jointly develop a community-driven cancer education agenda. Results: The CAB played a critical role in the development of the bidirectional partnership. They provided key inputs in identifying the goals and benchmarks of the educational initiative, and in facilitating the recruitment and implementation of the initiative. Our evaluation indicated that a bidirectional partnership is an interactive and non-linear process that requires constant feedback and communication. We identified several successes and challenges during our co-learning and co-implementing process. We also identified areas for improvement, specifically, establishing a more efficient channel for information and resource sharing, and greater efforts on dissemination of scientific findings to the community. Conclusions: Actively engaging CAB and CBOs in the cancer prevention educational initiatives from the onset enhanced the efficacy of the initiatives and strengthened the research training capacity of the academic institutions. We will share best practices in our bidirectional, academic–community partnership building and discuss next steps in adaptation and further development of the partnership.

Abstract:
For the English abstract and full text of the article please see the attached PDF-File (English version follows Russian version).ABSTRACT The duration of sorting of the train on the turnout track is determined by the known formula Tsort = A•g + B•m. At the same time, the duration of all semi-trips - arrival of the locomotive behind the part of the train, its extension to the turnout track, sorting and reverse pulling of the remaining cars - were calculated according to the formula ts/t = a + bm, which is now replaced by a new method for adjusting the shunting operations. The article presents the results of a study that made it possible to derive a formula for calculating the duration of the sorting of a train on the turnout track based on a different calculation of the duration of semi-trips. Keywords: railway, turnout track, duration of sorting, duration of semi-trip, calculation formulas.

Abstract:
On February 27, 1999, the International Institute of Islamic Thought0 hosted a symposium titled “Islam and Epistemology.” The seminarinvited many scholars and philosophers to discuss Mehdi Ha’iri Yazdi’sbook, The Principles of Epistemology in Islamic Philosophy.‘ The mpe ofthe presentation and discussion was not limited to the contents of the book.Indeed, the book was used as 8 launching pad for discussions on issuesrelated to epistemology, Islamic sciences, Islamic philosophy, the tensionsbetween reason and nxelation, and the differences between the legalisticapproach and the philosophical approach. It also raised interesting debatesabout the similarities and differences between Westem-secular and humanist-social sciences and the theocentric discourses of Muslims.The seminar also doubled as the Second Conference of the ContemporaryIslamic Philosophers. Two doctoml students, myself from GeorgetownUniversity and Ejaz Akram from Catholic University, organized the firstconference in May 1998, at which time we called for a new discourse? Weargued that contemporary Islamic philosophy had become too engagedwith writing and rewriting the history of medieval Islamic philosophy withoutactually doing philosophy. So we invited Muslim intellectuals andphilosophers to reflect on the present and advance discourses that willenlighten and improve the present human condition. We argued thatIslamic philosophers should play the role of social critics and public intellectualsand assist in thinking of old ideas in new terms and new ideas inold terms. This seminar, in a similar vein, was designed to point the attentionof Islamic thinkers toward the need for an empowering and transformativeepistemology for contemporary Muslims?At the seminar, five speakem, each from a different backgmund, madeformal presentations. Over 35 students of Islamic philosophy came to theseminar from Virginia, Maryland, New Jersey, North Carolina, New York &and California. Each presentation sought to explore the relationship ...

Abstract:
INTRODUCTION Scenic Hudson's Long Dock Park is a resilient living work of art and a vibrant community asset for the Hudson River Valley. A 23-acre peninsula on the east side of the Hudson at Beacon, New York, the site includes the Peter J. Sharp Park and the Klara Sauer Hudson River Trail. Two decades in the making, beginning in 1997, it took a decade to plan and remediate, and, by its completion in early 2017, it will have taken just as long to build and recover. In 1997, nonprofit Scenic Hudson, the largest environmental and land preservation group focused on the Hudson River Valley, started assembling the different ownership parcels of the Long Dock site. From 1999 to 2003, they engaged the Beacon community through a series of community meetings and workshops to articulate its vision for its waterfront and cleanup of the site began. From 2003 to 2007, the design team developed the architectural and site program for the project, restoration measures, and its physical expression with the client. Working with the City and the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC), the project completed the State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQR) process, filing a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) and received approval of the final EIS ensuring that there was significant environmental, social, or economic value. The NYSDEC and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) were also directly involved in oversight of the brownfield remediation and work within the Hudson River and site wetlands. With the SEQR process complete and approval of a mitigation plan from the USACE, the team worked with the City of Beacon to complete the site plan application process for construction. Our mandate was clear from the start—build resilience, but realize it incrementally. The project's first phase, opened in 2009, included additional remediation and removal of contaminated soils, removal of invasive species, stabilization of the south shoreline, a test plot for different materials, a wetland boardwalk and interior pathways, installation of native plantings, and site-specific artwork. By 2014, the landscape's multiple character zones were complete: the established meadow, the connective network of trails and boardwalks, the working site infrastructure of wetlands with swales and seeps, the dynamic intertidal zone, and earthen buttresses. A new pavilion for kayak storage and rentals and an arts and environmental education center in the historic Red Barn were significant additions for the program and community engagement of the park (refer to Figure 1). Over the past summer of 2016, portions of the site originally designed as a LEED platinum eco-hotel and conference center are now being remediated and reconceived as a new civic plaza, amphitheater, overlook west deck, boardwalk at Quiet Harbor, and a shade structure with an area for food trucks. Long Dock Park will continue to adjust and adapt to changing circumstances of ecology, climate change, flooding and sea level rise, and culture. Our original goals of renewing and revealing the historic waterfront, increasing public access to the river, restoring degraded environmental conditions, and demonstrating exemplary, environmentally sensitive development—these are complete. And the park was one of the first pilot projects for the Sustainable-SITES certification program and subsequently received SITES's highest rating of a SITES project at the time. Even as we considered program, spatial organization, and aesthetics, our work also sought to create in Long Dock a functional and sustainable ecosystem. The park's design needed to initiate natural processes for the degraded post-industrial brownfield to function and sustain ecosystem services that had not existed before. The design of healthy soils, the integration of hydrology, and the establishment of native plant communities form the true story of the site's transformation from postindustrial ruin into a significant waterfront park.

Abstract:
Abstract Background Hispanic, Asian, and African Americans experience greater burden of liver cancer, and research has shown that these three populations experience multiple level barriers to liver cancer awareness and prevention. Chronic infections with hepatitis B (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) are the most common risk factors of liver cancer. As a critical component of The Synergistic Partnership for Enhancing Equity in Cancer Health (SPEECH), Community Outreach Core (COC) aims to (1) strengthen community engagement in cancer outreach research through evidence-based community cancer education initiatives and outreach activities, and (2) provide a robust and sustainable community-based participatory research (CBPR) infrastructure for the SPEECH Partnership. Objectives This presentation aims to describe the use of CBPR principles and how these methods impacted the planning and implementation of multilevel community initiatives on liver cancer prevention through community engagement to address liver cancer disparities in low-income, underserved minority communities. Methods Guided by CBPR principles and built on well-established collaboration with community-based organizations in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York City, the COC team actively engaged community advisory board (CAB), healthcare workers, and community members in multiple phases of (1) liver cancer prevention educational initiative, (2) city-wide bus campaign with on-bus posters advertising HBV/HCV screening and liver cancer prevention, and (3) community health fairs, in which information and education about HBV, HCV, and liver cancer was provided to the community member attendees. Results The educational workshops in the community initiative significantly improved community members’ knowledge about HBV/HCV, behaviors on HBV/HCV screening, as well as dietary patterns. Specifically, 21% of the patients who did not have an HBV test at baseline had a test at 6 months, while 11% of the patients who did not have an HCV test at baseline had a test at 6 months. In the bus campaign, the COC team collected evaluation forms from bus riders. Among the 173 respondents, 22.7% reported seeing the ad. Riders who saw the ad were significantly more likely to get screened for HBV/HCV than those who did not (86.5% vs 58.3%). Regarding the community health fair, among 44 participants who received our on-site education, 77.3% of them reported that they would talk to their doctors about getting HBV/HCV screenings. The comprehensive engagement of CAB, healthcare workers, and community members significantly benefited community capacity building on cancer research and health promotion. Conclusions Our findings indicate that CBPR-guided community initiative, campaign, and health fairs have remarkable positive impacts on promoting liver cancer awareness and prevention among underserved racial/ethnic minorities. Moreover, community participation was built on trust and previous relationships, which would finally empower the community with increased health promotion capacity.

Abstract:
A number of years ago, I participated in a brainstorming session in Washington, D.C. Although not my first panel meeting, it was, nevertheless, the first that officially had been called a brainstorming session, and I was filled with nervous anticipation as my train pulled into Union Station the night before. The next morning my anxiety increased as I sat munching Danish and drinking decaf from a disposable paper cup in the posh conference room of the environmental organization that was cosponsoring the meeting with a federal environmental agency. What was brainstorming? Would I be able to do it? I had looked up “brainstorming” in The Oxford Modern English Dictionary back home in New Jersey. The first definition given was “a violent or excited outburst often as a result of a sudden mental disturbance.”This didn’t seem right. Nor did the second definition: “colloq. Mental confusion.” Not until I got to the fourth definition was there a glimmer of hope; it read, “A concerted intellectual treatment of a problem by discussing spontaneous ideas about it.” But I was still confused, mentally confused. What was a “spontaneous idea”—or, to put it another way, what was a non-spontaneous idea? How did a discussion of spontaneous ideas differ from an ordinary serious discussion? Hesitantly, I had concluded that a brainstorming session must produce more exciting and definitive results than a mere discussion. At first I was alone in the conference room, free to eat more than my share of Danish. Then a woman arrived. By her air of confidence and authority I knew instinctively that she was the chair of the session. We spoke, and I cleverly and casually turned the conversation to the topic of brainstorming, maneuvering to get some kind of clue about what was expected of me. But the audio technician (that’s what I discovered she actually was) was more interested in the subject of endangered species and in the technicalities of the recording system. No hope. Soon the room filled with august biologists and social scientists; I sank inconspicuously into my high-backed chair, trying to breathe softly and blend into the upholstery pattern.

Abstract:
The chapter starts by describing Gloria Richardson’s new life in New York City, but the story quickly moves back to Cambridge, Maryland. There, in the summer of 1967, she facilitated Black Power activist H. Rap Brown’s visit to speak to black residents who were continuing their freedom struggle. A massive fire in the city’s black community on the night of Brown’s visit was caused by arson and not, as is popularly believed, by black people rioting. That summer also saw the first gathering of Black Power advocates from around the country at the National Conference on Black Power in Newark, New Jersey. Richardson attended this event and was excited about Black Power’s potential to push the freedom struggle forward. Finally, the chapter covers her assessment of Black Power, specifically, its emphasis on black consciousness, and Stokely Carmichael’s and other Black Nationalists’ political strategies for achieving black liberation.

Abstract:
When my wife Joan and I were newly married, we lived in a north Jersey suburb not far from the New York state line. Every weekday morning we drove down the Palisades Interstate Parkway to the George Washington Bridge and crossed the Hudson River to Manhattan, where I taught and Joan was a graduate student. The parkway runs along the Palisades, a magnificent, igneous bluff that flanks the west bank of the Hudson and faces, on the far shore, Yonkers, the Riverdale section of the Bronx, and Manhattan. Wooded parkland extends on both sides of the road for its entire length until just before the approach to the bridge, where many lanes of superhighway converge on the toll booths. We loved the woods along the parkway—they calmed us before our immersion in the chaotic city, and soothed us when we left it at the end of the day. That was before we went on our honeymoon, a three-week hike on the Appalachian Trail (interspersed with some hitchhiking on country roads), from Springer Mountain, Georgia, to the border of the Great Smokies in North Carolina. The forest we walked through was a mixture of tall pines and an incredible variety of native hardwoods—an experience of natural diversity that was overwhelming. Nearly every tree we saw was new to us, yet we could feel the pattern and cohesiveness of the forest as a whole. Rhododendrons formed a closed canopy over our heads, fragmenting the June sunshine into a softly shifting mosaic of dap-pled patches. We stepped on a carpet of rhododendron petals. The trip was over all too quickly. The plane carrying us back de-scended through a dense inversion layer of black smog before touching down on the runway at Newark. Home. We were depressed and silent. The ride from Newark Airport to our house took us on the Palisades Parkway. For the first time, we became aware that the woods along the park way were dominated by thin, ungainly Ailanthus, with their coarse(and, we knew, rank-smelling) foliage, and by other weedy species such as the lanky Paulownia. Suddenly, these exotic species seemed very much out of place.

Abstract:
On September 11, 2001, the terrorist attacks that destroyed the World Trade Center (WTC) in Lower Manhattan, New York City, also damaged the Port Authority Trans-Hudson Corp.’s (PATH’s) busiest terminal serving the heart of the thriving downtown financial, commercial, and residential district. The aftermath of the attacks also forced the closure of PATH’s key station at Exchange Place that serves Jersey City, New Jersey’s expanding “Gold Coast” business and residential area. PATH’s more than 260,000 average weekday commuters between New Jersey and New York were affected in some way by these tragic events, and PATH ridership fell sharply during the following months. Among the PATH facilities that were damaged or destroyed at WTC, and in the two Hudson River tubes, and at Exchange Place Station were all of the electrical, power, signal, and communications systems. Recovery and restoration work began immediately, but was hampered by the extensive rescue, recovery, removal, and demolition work at the World Trade site. Broken water lines and fire fighting efforts flooded both river tubes, which were later sealed at Exchange Place to prevent additional potential damage to PATH’s New Jersey facilities. This paper describes PATH’s recovery program to replace the electrical, power, signal, and communications facilities from Exchange Place to the WTC Terminal. A temporary WTC terminal has been built to restore direct service to Lower Manhattan’s financial, business, and residential center as of November 23, 2003. As part of this program, new trackwork was installed to enhance operational flexibility and provide temporary interim service to Exchange Place Station, which reopened June 29, 2003. Capacity expansion provisions were included to allow for future 10-car train operations when a new rail car fleet is procured. Facilities replaced include a new traction power and auxiliary services substation, new cables, ductbanks, new signals and central control system, wayside phones, emergency power removal switches, tunnel lighting, radio antenna, and fiber optics. An accelerated design and construction schedule was followed, using a broad combination of in-house, consulting, and contractor forces.
