Abstract:
This commentary provides insight from Community Health Education and Master of Public Health students on the benefits of participating in a state-level Advocacy Experience and provides a theoretical framework for increased advocacy intention among students as a result of participating in a state-level Advocacy Experience. Providing students the opportunity to translate what they learn about advocacy in the classroom into advocacy in action with policy makers is vital to the career development of our future health education professionals and is key to increasing advocacy capacity within our profession. This article builds on previous work from emerging public health professionals highlighting the role of policy advocacy in professional development and provides additional perspectives from the next generation of health education specialists.

Abstract:
By featuring buildings as pure objects, modern architecture neglects the implications of what happens in between buildings [1], which is resulting in the disappearance of character of the unique places. Hawaii State Capitol building is a symbol of modern architecture in downtown Honolulu, it adopts modern aesthetic and functional design to reflect the aspirations of a modern and progressive society, yet it is deeply rooted to Hawaiian tropical climate, natural landscape, multi-culture and history. The Capitol building has been merged within the building’s geographical context and culture context. It preserves the Hawaiian sense of place; fosters the sense of belonging for local habitants. The aim of this paper is to investigate how modern architecture can help individual find his place in the midst of nature and in the midst of community under the pressure of social and economic development by taking Hawaii State Capitol building as an example.

Abstract:
At a ceremony held in 1986 to install a bust of Martin Luther King, Jr., alongside those of other national heroes in the U.S. Capitol, former King associate Vincent Harding reminded the audience that King himself probably would have joined the demonstrators outside the Capitol protesting American policy in Central America (Thelen 1987: 436). Harding’s comment captures the tension between commemoration and dissent, or, better, between state-sponsored remembrance and state-targeted opposition that is the subject of this essay.

Abstract:
Thanks in part to the impeachment of President Bill Clinton, the popular reputation of Congress has recently plum meted to perhaps an all-time low.As the Senate deliberated in late January 1999, Jay Leno captured what seemed to be widespread disgust with Capitol Hill. He cracked, “We’ve reached a point where Congress does not affect anyone’s life, so we look at it as entertainment. It’s like the Jerry Springer show, except everyone has a law degree. They can’t fix health care, they can’t fix Social Security, so we look at them to provide a few laughs on a daily basis” (Providence Journal 1999).Leno’s wisecrack adds to a long history of jokes and laments about Congress, which throughout this century has taken far more hits from the public than has the executive branch. To listen only briefly to such criticism is to hear that Congress is inefficient, unresponsive, obstructionist, irresponsible, and undemocratic in its operations. Most often we are told that Congress suffers from two related weaknesses: it rolls over to please powerful interest groups, and it cravenly dreads reprisal from constituents.

Armstrong, Christopher Drew. ""Qui Transtulit Sustinet": William Burges, Francis Kimball, and the Architecture of Hartford's Trinity College." Journal of the Society of Architectural Historians 59, no. 2 (June 1, 2000): 194–215. http://dx.doi.org/10.2307/991590.

Abstract:
William Burges's master plan for Trinity College in Hartford has long been considered more as the product of fantasy than as a serious proposal for the reconstruction of the college campus. Understanding the significance of the project within both Burges's oeuvre and the history of late-nineteenth-century architecture has been hampered further by the absence of any clear relationship between the master plan and the college as it was finally built. In this essay, the reconstruction of Trinity College is considered in the context of contemporary events in Hartford and Burges's design as the product of a crisis in architectural thought that erupted in 1872 after it was decided to rebuild the Connecticut State Capitol. Based on material conserved in the Trinity College archives, the author proposes that Burges's master plan was conceived as a response to the failure of the design competitions for the State Capitol and as a rigorous statement of the architect's vision of an architecture for the nineteenth century. The architecture of Trinity College as built further underlines the desire that the buildings embody the qualities of modernity demanded in connection with the Capitol competitions, and the often remarked similarity between Trinity's "Long Walk" and the contemporary work of H. H. Richardson testifies to the skill of college architect Francis Kimball in merging Burges's proposal with elements of a distinctly American architecture.

Abstract This presentation is a reflective piece on developing and staging of the inaugural Gerontology Student Workforce Day at the Georgia Capitol held in January 2016 through coordination with the state-level Council on Aging (GCOA: Georgia-Council-on-Aging). The aims of this initiative focused on bridging students’ gerontology education and career aims with current legislative concerns for older adults at the state level through networking and advocacy efforts. We also sought out to highlight to state legislators the necessity to support gerontology education. Results of this networking engagement included educating state legislators on both the role of gerontology education to support the needs of older residents at the community-level and highlighting to both parties the impact of gerontology professionals on the state’s workforce. As a result, we engaged gerontology students and early career aging professionals in high-impact networking opportunities focused on service and policy efforts with state legislators and local AAAs (area-agencies-on-aging).

This case study of an Alabama newspaper's series on infant mortality and of subsequent changes in related state health services shows that the series helped increase public support for policy changes to reduce infant mortality and created pressure on the governor and legislators to make those changes. Factors that seem to have affected the series' influence include expert agreement on solutions, the existence of supportive private citizen groups and public officials, Alabama's political situation, the newspaper's location in the capitol city, widespread distribution of series reprints, editorial and reporting follow-ups, and publicity when the series won a Pulitzer Prize.

Learn how HFES members can get involved in advocating for the science of human factors and ergonomics (HF/E). This panel will present an overview of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society’s activities in working to promote the science of HF/E in Congress and across government agencies. The activities of the Government Relations Committee will be discussed, to include outreach to Congress and responses to pending legislation, as well as the development of policy statements on Human Systems Integration, Airline Seating, and Autonomous Vehicles. Nicholas Saab will provide a discussion of the many activities Lewis-Burke Associates engages in on behalf of HFES. As our government relations experts, Lewis-Burke tracks relevant legislation, and activities and opportunities for HF/E involvement in supporting government operations across its many agencies. They help represent the society on the ground in DC and provide inputs on our behalf across a wide range of topics. New to HFES, the Science Policy Fellows program was established in 2018 to provide a valuable opportunity for members to learn how to navigate the federal policy process and successfully advocate for human factors and ergonomics on the national stage. They receive extensive training in public affairs, advocacy, and outreach, and represent HFES in an annual Capitol Hill day in Washington, DC. In addition to working with the Government Relations Committee, the Science Policy Fellows are each developing a tailored outreach program to include continued participation in Capitol Hill Day and interactions with policy makers in DC, supporting the Society’s policy objectives at the local and/or state level, serving on the GRC or a subcommittee, or other activities developed by each participant. Our 2018 Science Policy Fellows, Caroline Cao, Holly Handley and Carisa Harris-Adamson, will each present on their experiences and activities. This special session provides an opportunity for HFES members to learn more about how the society is representing and supporting our profession in Washington, and about how they can get involved in promoting human factors and ergonomics at the local, state or national level.

Abstract:
Background:Modeled after the National Physical Activity Plan (NPAP), ActiveWV 2015: The West Virginia Physical Activity Plan was developed to provide strategic direction for physical activity promotion within the state. The purpose of this manuscript is to describe the systematic approach taken in developing ActiveWV.Method:Plan development began with establishing capacity and leadership among key stakeholders representing all societal sectors. A multiphase, statewide decision-making process allowed for input across sectors and geographic regions. The process results identified five priority areas that served as the conceptual framework for ActiveWV. Sector teams, comprised of key organization stakeholders across the eight sectors, finalized the sector-specific strategies and tactics using the NPAP evidence-based recommendations, results from a formalized strategic process, and the teams’ expertise and experience.Results:ActiveWV was officially released on January 19, 2012 at the State Capitol in Charleston, West Virginia. Community events throughout the state surrounded the release and celebrated West Virginia Physical Activity Day. Ongoing implementation and dissemination efforts are underway at state and local levels.Conclusions:As the NPAP calls for states and communities to develop plans that meet the needs of their particular context, other states may find the lessons learned from West Virginia helpful in the development process.

Full text
Abstract:
In response to former President George W. Bush's funding limitations on human embryonic stem cell (hESC) research, California voters in 2004 passed Proposition 71, the most expansive state-funded medical research initiative in United States history. This study examines California's experiment in the life sciences, a particularly fitting analysis now as President Barack Obama has freed up additional federal funding for hESC research. In addition to exploring the general pitfalls of states, rather than the federal government, serving as principal players on hESC science and the perceived flaws in California's program, the analysis considers the strengths of state activism and of California's enterprise. On balance, given the Bush administration's policy on hESC research, the U.S. benefitted from state innovation. Moreover, even with the new federal regulatory policy on hESC research, California should be able to mesh its program with the federal initiative and remain a prime mover in this arena. The essay draws on informal interviews with key actors in California and on Capitol Hill in 2008 and 2009.

Abstract:
57 Background: There are geographic disparities in access to palliative care that cause unnecessary suffering near the end of life in low-access U.S. states. The psychological mechanisms explaining state-by-state variation in access to palliative care are poorly understood. Our objective was to examine whether state-level differences in personality explain state-by-state variation in palliative care access. Methods: We combined four datasets with state-level data for the 50 U.S. states and the national capitol. Palliative care access was measured by the Center to Advance Palliative Care 2015 state-by-state report card. Statewide personality differences were identified from a report on 619,387 adults who completed the well-validated Big Five Inventory, which assesses the five core personality dimensions: openness, conscientiousness, agreeableness, neuroticism, and extraversion. The U.S. Census and Gallup provided data on covariates. Regression analyses examined whether state-level differences in personality predicted statewide access to palliative care, controlling for differences in population size, age, gender, race/ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and political views. Results: Access to palliative care was worse in states that were younger, more racially diverse, lower in socioeconomic status, more politically conservative, and lower in openness. In regression analyses that simultaneously accounted for all predictors and covariates, only lower openness continued to explain worse state-level access to palliative care (β = 0.428, p = 0.008). Conclusions: Palliative care access is worse in states where people are lower in openness, meaning residents who are more skeptical, traditional, and concrete. Personality theory offers specific recommendations for palliative care advocates communicating with hospital administrators, legislators, philanthropists, and patients to expand access in low-openness states.

Serving as an APSA Congressional Fellow had been a goal of mine since I started graduate school. The fellowship provided an opportunity to examine the congressional policy-making process first hand. And while I had worked on congressional campaigns, in state legislative offices, and supervised student internships, I had no direct experience working on Capitol Hill for Congress. In addition, the program was highly recommended by senior colleagues who had served as fellows themselves. Nearly all of them had worked on the staffs of individual congressional members and found the experience served to better inform both their research and teaching. When I found out I would be serving as a fellow for the 2012–13 academic year, my plan was to spend that year in a congressional member office as well.

Abstract:
In the past 25 years, education funding in Oklahoma has stagnated. In some schools, students learn about American politics from tattered textbooks in which George W. Bush is listed as the current president (Hendry and Pasquantonio 2018). Across the board, teachers are grossly underpaid, yet many are compelled to buy school supplies with their own funds (Felder 2018a). Moreover, in one out of five schools, students come to class only four days a week (Carlson 2018). After the state legislature failed to pass a funding package to sufficiently increase spending on schools and salaries in early 2018, teachers across Oklahoma walked out on their jobs to protest at the Capitol for nine days. In addition to sharing their grievances, the hundreds of protesting educators had something else in common: many were women.

Abstract:
Variation in some haematological indices during normal pregnancy was investigated. The test group comprised 200 pregnant women who presented themselves at the Capitol Hill Clinic Warri, Delta State, Nigeria, for antenatal care while the control group comprised 80 nonpregnant women randomly selected from the student population in Delta State University, Abraka. Data generated from the pretest questionnaire indicated that 55.8% of the research participants experienced an increase in appetite. The analysis of haematological indices was done using automated hematological analyzer. The result from the study showed that there was a significant decrease (P<0.05) in the PCV of the test group (32.58±4.01)% when compared to the control (37.07±3.19)%. Similarly, the result of the blood haemoglobin showed a significant difference (P<0.05) between the test (10.00±1.28) g/dL and the control group (11.71±1.32) g/dL while granulocytes and platelets also showed significant decrease (P<0.05) with lymphocytes increasing significantly; the total white blood cell count (WBC) showed no significant difference; there was an increased level compared to the control. The study concluded that pregnancy in women has the tendency to alter haematological indices.

Abstract:
This new work explores 260 celebrated locations of historical import in the United States. A unique publication, the only similar undertaking in the recent past is Thomas W. Paradis’s The Illustrated Encyclopedia of American Landmarks (Lorenz 2011). This older Lorenz edition is not widely held in American academic or public libraries, focuses more on the visual, and also highlights seemingly less-compelling sites such as state capitol buildings, marketplaces, and warehouses. Newton-Matza’s book, on the other hand, hones in on places more widely acknowledged as historically significant, such as the Gateway Arch in St. Louis and the Grand Canyon. Other locations included here may be closely associated with major battles or well-known figures of the American past—US presidents, writers, and inventors, for example. The latter type of entry tends to be largely biographical (e.g., the Booker T. Washington National Monument in Virginia) while others focus chiefly on whatever significant event took place there, such as Woodstock or Ground Zero.

Abstract:
The potential ecological risk assessment of heavy metals contamination in surface sediments of Ikpoba River, Edo State was estimated in this study after assessment of heavy metal concentrations in surface sediments from seven stations of the study area. Heavy metals were analyzed in the sediments using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer. The index of geo-accumulation for the metals (Lead (Pb); Iron (Fe); Nickel (Ni) and Copper (Cu)) studied were less than zero showing that the stations sampled were unpolluted with heavy metals. Contamination factor followed same pattern. Generally, there was a low potential ecological risk for heavy metal contamination to sediment dwelling organisms. However, station 4 (Capitol) was moderately contaminated and extremely enriched with Cu. Heavy metal values in this study were below the EPA limits for sediments except station 4 which was heavily polluted with Cu following the EPA guidelines. Regular monitoring and assessment of pollution load of Ikpoba River is recommended.

Abstract:
Abstract Strong regression relationships between light detection and ranging (LIDAR) metrics and indices of forest structure have been reported in the literature. However, most papers focus on empirical results and do not consider LIDAR metric selection and biological interpretation explicitly. In this study, three different variable selection methods (stepwise regression, principle component analysis [PCA], and Bayesian modeling averaging [BMA]) were compared using LIDAR data from three study sites: Capitol Forest in western Washington State, Mission Creek in central Washington State, and Kenai Peninsula in south central Alaska. Separate aboveground biomass regression models were developed for each site as well as common models using three study sites simultaneously. Final biomass models have R2 values ranging from 0.67 to 0.88 for three study sites. PCA indicates that three LIDAR metrics (mean height, coefficient variation of height, and canopy LIDAR point density) explain the majority of variation contained within a larger set of metrics. Within each study area, forest biomass models using these three predictor variables had similar R2 values as the stepwise and BMA regression models. Individual site models using these three variables are recommended because these models are straightforward in terms of model form and biological interpretation and are easily adopted for application.

Abstract:
Abstract Aims Established invasive plant species have more diverse gene pools than single populations in their home range. This genetic and often phenotypic variation allows for natural selection to act and produce rapid adaptations as an invasive species interacts with other members of the community. For an invasive flowering plant, interactions with pollinators may lead to adaptations to a heterogeneous pollinator community. The variation in the pollinator community in the invaded range is similar to variation in the native range, suggesting that adaptations may mirror patterns seen in the home range. In this study, we investigated variation in flower size in Cytisus scoparius, an invasive leguminous shrub, along an elevation gradient. Methods This study took place in the Capitol State Forest in Washington State. We measured flower widths and the proportion of visited flowers, using 10 plants per field site. Sites were located along an elevation gradient and were visited three times to measure phenological variation on a per-plant basis. Important Findings We saw positive selection for flower size, albeit without a distinct pattern of higher selection at higher elevations. The pattern of natural selection could be seen both in terms of pollinator visitation rates and in seed production. We also found that the largest contributor to changes in seed production was not elevation or flower size but management practices.

Abstract:
Abstract Drawing from histories of art and architecture, urbanism and planning, landscape, infrastructure, and media, this themed section is premised upon framing architecture beyond the terms of aesthetics or technology toward its agency as a form of knowledge. In this introduction and the articles that follow, architecture acts as an analytic with which to formulate understanding and meaning. Through modern histories and perspectives from the South Asian subcontinent, conceptualizing “South Asia” and “architecture” broadly and inclusively, the articles turn alternately to design and structure, aesthetics and affect, and the human and nonhuman in order to redefine the primary source. From the writings of a Sri Lankan architect, a capitol for a future Bangladesh, the princely state landscapes of a German-Indian planner, films of roads in Bhutan and Kashmir, gardens in Lahore, and towers in Karachi, this collection unsettles borders, writing across South Asian nations and contested territories together to name architectures operating in archival registers. Through habitations and speculations, it reimagines pasts and futures, recasting the architectural beyond instrument, as concept.

Abstract:
This work analyzes the ideological war between American fascists and antifascists and the relation between the existence of an ideological consistency among the masses and the emergence of this type of conflict. The storming of the US Capitol in January 2021 by fascists and the activities of fascists and antifascists on social media serve as subjects for the analysis of this ideological war. The purpose of this work is to study literature on ideological wars and analyze how States encourage extremist ideologies based on their own ideological consistencies. The method employed to expose the ideological war is a content analysis of social media used by the Proud Boys and Atlanta Antifascists. The results show that the two competing ideologies cannot coexist peacefully in the same territory and at the same time. The State and the elites agree that the confrontation should end. This work can be useful for academics, policy makers and students working on the issue of fascist and extremist ideologies, as well as for developing ways to fight these ideologies by addressing their enablers.

Abstract:
In 1972 a historic attempt to create the world’s first international legal regime banning the development and possession of an entire class of weapons of mass destruction (WMDs) culminated in the conclusion of the Biological Weapons Convention (BWC). Crippled by key compromises made by the great powers in pursuit of various self-interested security objectives in the context of the Cold War, the Convention is fundamentally flawed. Although the BWC purports to oudaw the development and possession of all biological weapons, deadlier and more sophisticated biological weapons than were imaginable in 1972 can now be and have been produced, as evidenced in October 2001 by two letters sent to the Capitol Hill offices of Senators Tom Daschle and Patrick Leahy. These letters reportedly contained direatening notes and a dangerous and sophisticated form of “weapons-grade” anthrax spores. Even though both die sender of these letters and the source of the anthrax remain unknown, the technical sophistication of the spores led some experts to suggest that the attacker was supported by a U.S. “biodefense” laboratory or an advanced foreign-state-run biological weapons (BW) facility because the spores could not have been produced by an amateur working in his basement.

Abstract:
The Diabetes Patient Advocacy Coalition (DPAC) held a Policy Training Meeting and Hill Day September 29-October 1, 2018, in Washington, DC. Attendees were members of DPAC’s Board of Directors and Staff, Patient Advisory Board, and individuals identified through a competitive call for applicants on DPAC’s website and social media. We were joined by advocates from the Association of Black Cardiologists and the Endocrine Society. The Policy Training Meeting focused on teaching citizen advocates how to share their stories with legislators while integrating facts and statistics to reinforce their experiences. After two days of training, we met with our legislators on Capitol Hill to discuss two closely related issues: access to affordable insulin and diabetes self-management training. The partnership of patient advocates and health care providers was a powerful tool to get our message across. Meetings like this encourage open discussion and networking as well as education regarding individual advocacy. They are an effective way to bring people together as allies for the diabetes community. DPAC plans to hold additional Policy Training Meetings to develop leaders in each state who represent the voice of people living with diabetes.

Abstract:
A survey of selected land-grant universities was conducted to gather information related to design and operation of their turfgrass research units. The objective of this survey was to help the University of Florida in planning a new research unit that will be constructed in 2004–05. The survey provided information related to turf area, building facilities, equipment, supplies, and maintenance. Type of monetary support, cost sharing, labor requirements, utilities, and capitol improvement outlays were documented. The number of support people and faculty with activities at the unit varied depending upon the location, with a mean of five research support people, two support staff, and seven faculty across all units. With the exception of fertilizers (50% donated vs. 50% purchased), most (>80%) of the chemicals, seed, and sod was donated to the units. About one-third of the monetary support for operating and general labor expenses for the units was from soft money and one-third from direct state support. Results from this survey provided ideas that could be used to design and staff a new turfgrass research unit or support for updating an existing unit. In addition, turfgrass industry representatives have an interest in the data since they provide a significant portion of the monetary support and supply of materials to turf research units.

Abstract:
The enormous number of Cawang-Cikarang toll road private vehicles users have caused congestion in Jakarta. To reduce congestion in Jakarta, suburban areas, such as Cikarang, commuters shall utilize Park and Ride (P&R) facilities than use private vehicle to Jakarta. This study is important to give the commuters information of P&R in Cikarang, so they can make an option of their trip. P&R facility has a main function as a hub to change from private vehicle to public transportation. Observation as well as questionnaire were used to reveal findings for this study, the data results are analyzed with descriptive statistics. This study revealed that users of P&R facilities from Cikarang are generally commuters who have offices in urban areas and reside in suburban areas. The problem that occurs in Cikarang is that parking facilities in transit locations (stations / terminals / stops) have not been utilized optimally. This study aims to analyze the actual state and user satisfaction of P&R facility in Cikarang. The six locations include: (1) Cikarang Station; (2) Metland Telaga Murni Station; (3) Lemahabang Station; (4) Cikarang Terminal; (5) Capitol Stop; and (6) AO Citywalk Lippo Cikarang Bus Stop. The results showed that the majority of respondents (N=231) were satisfied (m=3.78; SD=0.99, p
