An Examination of the Socio-Demographic Characteristics Associated with Adult Vaccination Prevalence for Preventable Diseases in the United States
Background: An estimated 50,000 adults in the United States (U.S.) die each year from one of 10 vaccine preventable diseases. For those who survive vaccine preventable infections, health care costs and loss of income become more significant. While children in the U.S. aged 0-2 exhibit vaccine prevalence rates of almost 90%, some adult vaccine prevalence rates in the U.S. population are reported to be nearly 30-40% less than the goals set forth by Healthy People 2010. The purpose of this study was to examine the associations between socio-demographic characteristics of U.S. adults and adult vaccination prevalence for pneumococcal, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, tetanus, and pertussis.
Methods: Data from the 2008 National Health Interview Survey were assessed examining various health indicators and characteristics of non-institutionalized adults and children. The sample was restricted to adults ≥18 years of age. Odds ratios were calculated and multivariate logistic regression was also conducted. P-values of <0.05 and 95% confidence intervals were used to determine statistical significance.
Results: There were 21781 total observations; 19.3% received the pneumococcal vaccine, 9.4% received the hepatitis A vaccine, 27.2% received the hepatitis B vaccine, 55.1% received the tetanus vaccine, and 15.2% received the pertussis vaccine. Of the socio-demographic characteristics examined, age, health insurance, marital status, and education were significant for either all five or at least four of the vaccines included in this study. As one might expect those who reported health insurance and those who had a higher level of education usually had a higher likelihood of vaccine receipt as compared to those without health insurance and those with less than a high school education. Age associations varied due to age-related recommendations for certain vaccines such as pneumococcal (recommended for adults ≥65). Compared to the married population (referent), marital status results varied, but for reasons unclear. Whites, the referent group, were the most likely to be vaccinated as compared to Blacks, Hispanics/Latinos, and Asians. Hispanics/Latinos typically had the lowest likelihood of vaccination in this examination.
Conclusions: This study further explores the impact of socio-demographic disparities on vaccination status and adds new information to the literature regarding adult vaccination rates for preventable diseases. While research exists related to strengthening interventions such as patient reminder systems, those who do not see the same health care providers on a regular basis remain at risk for lower vaccination prevalence. It is important to better understand the role of social determinants of health, specifically in terms of vaccinations. Future research is needed to further characterize the association of socio-demographic factors with receipt of optional vaccines in adults.

Full textAbstract:
Freedom of speech is a right guaranteed by the US, the EU, and China; however, just because a right is guaranteed does not mean the government cannot manipulate the right to achieve its ends. Freedom of speech is commonly associated with the power of language; citizens speak in order to take control of those governing them, in order to assert their desires. In reality, freedom of speech is far more beneficial for governments, who can use this dissent to better control a population. In order to control the population, though, the governments must first control the dissenting speech, the discourse, surrounding an issue. In the case studies that follow, these three governments with very different regimes will manipulate discourses elicited in the name of free speech in order to advance the governments’ plans, even when these plans went against the stated public interest and ignored the dissenting citizens. This thesis, in essence, examines how freedom of speech can become a tool of power for regimes.

Dye, Angel. "JOOK: RENT PARTY POEMS." UKnowledge, 2019. https://uknowledge.uky.edu/english_etds/93.
Full textAbstract:
Jook is a spirited collection of historical persona poems situated in the vibrant rent party scene of 1920s Harlem. The Harlem Renaissance of New York was a decade of black innovation, artistry, and cultural expansion spanning 1920-1930. During this post-Emancipation, Great Migration era, black families leaving the South moved north only to encounter new forms of oppression. They were fleeing the lynchings, racism, and segregation that they experienced back home. In Harlem, black families earned disproportionately lower wages and paid much higher rents for subpar housing conditions compared to white families. To supplement their low incomes and to make the rent for the month, tenants hosted house-rent parties, also called social whist parties, in their apartments. They offered southern food, jazz and blues music (often live), and bootlegged liquor. Party guests paid a modest cover fee of 25 or 30 cents to enjoy the amusements, thus helping the hosts to pay their rent. The resistance work of this black joy in the face of economic, environmental, and social racism fascinates me and led me to research and uplift these narratives via persona poetry.
The central figure in these poems is a 20-year-old Georgia migrant named Mae Lynne King. Mae has moved north with her older sister Maddy. The daughters of a southern preacher and a seamstress, the women find their footing in New York in very different ways. Mae works as a domestic and takes in laundry and sewing on the side while 24-year-old Maddy Jane becomes a streetwalker. The two young women live together and quickly become immersed in the rent party phenomenon while working to build a life away from the strict religious upbringing they knew back home. Mae and Maddy struggle against racism, sexism, and poverty discovering their roles as lovers, friends, and members of a new black Harlem. Mae’s journey through Harlem is one of revelation and awakening, and Maddy’s is one of self-actualization, autonomy, reclamation. Both women embody the womanist attitudes and practices, blackness, and sexual fluidity that are central to my work overall and that were highly visible during the Renaissance.
While swaths of literature celebrate the art, music, and culture of the Harlem Renaissance, no contemporary collections of poetry contend with the oppression that African American people who migrated from the racially segregated South to Harlem faced. Jook is an offering of history, memory, language, and research to bridge that gap. This collection draws from Langston Hughes’ poetry and autobiography The Big Sea, Zora Neale Hurston’s novels and dramas, all of Harlem’s “negro literati,” jazz and swing music, photography, and archival materials from The Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture and Yale University. Jook traverses free verse and formal boundaries while championing persona and a unique Harlemese vernacular in order to celebrate the fierce subversion that African Americans in 1920s Harlem engaged in via their rent party gatherings.
I enter these poems with music and memory at the fore of my creative process and craft employments. I call on forms such as Ruth Ellen Kocher’s Gigan, the jazz sonnet, contrapuntal, and the ghazal to illustrate the simultaneous artistry and travailing that defined the Renaissance for African American people. I also borrow from the narrative elements of fiction to explore a specific arc within the lives of a cadre of imagined personas. The aim of this project is to recover and celebrate the unexplored stories of rent parties and to acknowledge the suffering and striving that these gatherings were born out of.

Full textAbstract:
A lo largo del siglo XIX fueron habituales los debates en torno a la constitución íntima de los elementos químicos que apostaban por la unidad sustancial de la materia. Según estas hipótesis, toda la diversidad de elementos y sustancias simples, en realidad, serían distintas manifestaciones de un sustrato común. Este tipo de consideraciones desafiaba los postulados de la teoría atómica tal como fue expuesta por John Dalton en 1808, aunque algunos autores encontraron puntos de acuerdo entre ambas. Por lo tanto, las discusiones que se generaron en torno a la constitución de la materia no pueden reducirse simplemente a la aceptación o no de la teoría atómica ya que, en la mayoría de los casos, las diferentes posturas respecto a esta teoría estaban permeadas por la creencia en la materia única.
Esta tesis estudia diferentes tipos de discursos sobre la unidad de la materia según la cosmovisión particular de los protagonistas, atendiendo a elementos ideológicos, filosóficos y culturales. El marco de estudio se centra en el contexto universitario de la España de la segunda mitad del siglo XIX. Los cuatro principales protagonistas de este trabajo son Ramón Torres Muñoz de Luna (1822-1890), José Ramón de Luanco (1825-1905), Laureano Calderón (1847-1894) y José Rodríguez Carracido (1856-1928). Asimismo, se ha relacionado su trabajo con el de otros de sus contemporáneos, como Santiago Bonilla y Mirat (1844-1899), José Rodríguez Mourelo (1857-1932) o José Echegaray (1832-1916), así como otros referentes internacionales.
Se han distinguido cuatro tipos de argumentos que usaron para defender la unidad la materia. Los argumentos teológicos que desarrolló Torres Muñoz estaban encaminados en demostrar que la unidad observada en la naturaleza era un sello de la obra de Dios, y que los secretos del cristianismo podrían descubrirse con el estudio de la química. Por ejemplo, consideraba que cualquier químico que estudie con fe y devoción la constitución de los cuerpos descubrirá en la unidad de la materia una prueba del misterio de la Santísima Trinidad. Otros autores, como Luanco, desarrollaron un sentimiento de continuidad disciplinar entre los antiguos alquimistas y la química decimonónica, por lo que intentaron justificar las teorías de los antiguos mediante sus teorías actuales. Las referencias positivas al trabajo y a las teorías de la materia de los alquimistas fueron muy habituales a lo largo del siglo XIX y alimentaron las esperanzas de lograr algún día la transmutación entre elementos. La influencia de la filosofía krausista, de origen germánico, fue patente en los discursos de los científicos de formación krausiana como Calderón o Carracido. Para ello se ha analizado la asimilación de elementos claves de esta filosofía, como el panenteísmo o el organicismo, en el bagaje teórico de la química decimonónica. El resultado fue un tipo muy concreto de discursos en los que se primaba la continuidad ontológica entre fuerzas y materia, así como la evolución del universo y de los mismos elementos químicos.
Los resultados de esta tesis enriquecen los estudios sobre los discursos ontológicos en la química decimonónica y aportan datos de gran interés sobre químicos españoles poco estudiados. Este trabajo abre puertas a estudio posteriores para ampliar este tipo de análisis a otros personajes de ámbito nacional e internacional.<br>During the 19th century, it was common to find debates on the intimate constitution of the chemical elements that considered the substantial unity of matter. According to these hypotheses, all the elements and simple substances are different manifestations of a common substrate. This kind of considerations defied the foundations of John Dalton’s atomic theory as postulated in 1808, in spite of some authors found a point of agreement between them. Therefore, the discussions generated on the constitution of matter cannot simply be reduced to the acceptance or non-acceptance of the atomic theory, since most of these debates agreed on the existence of a unique matter.
This thesis studies different kinds of arguments about the unity of matter considering the characters’ specific worldviews, regarding ideological, philosophical and cultural elements. The analysis is focused in the scholar context of the second half of the 19th century in Spain. The four main characters of this thesis are Torres Muñoz de Luna (1822-1890), José Ramón de Luanco (1825-1905), Laureano Calderón (1847-1894) and José Rodríguez Carracido (1856-1928). Their work has been related to some of their contemporaries’ work as in Santiago Bonilla y Mirat (1844-1899), José Rodríguez Mourelo (1857-1932) or José Echegaray (1832-1916), as well as other international partners.
There have been featured four different kinds of arguments defending the unity of matter. Torres Muñoz used theological arguments to demonstrate that the unity observed in nature was a sign of God’s hand, and that secrets from Christianity could be revealed by means of the study of chemistry. For example, he considered that any chemistry that was moved by faith, when studying the constitution of bodies, would unveil the mystery of the Holy Trinity shown in the unity of matter. Other authors, such as Luanco, were moved by the feeling of discipline continuity between medieval alchemists and 19th century chemistry, so they justified ancient theories matter in relation to their modern background. It was very common to find positive references about alchemists’ work and their speculations on matter among 19th century chemists, and they even shared the belief that someday transmutation between elements would be accomplished. Krausism, a German philosophy, influenced the discourses of the scientists that were trained in Krausist circles, such as Calderón or Carracido. Therefore, the assimilation, in the background of 19th century chemistry, of important elements of this philosophy, such as panentheism or organicism, has been analyzed. The result of these interactions became a very specific kind of discourses that was focused on the ontological continuity between forces and matter, as well as in the evolution of the universe and even in the evolution of the chemical elements.
The results of this thesis enrich other studies about the ontological discourses in 19th century chemistry and they provide important data on Spanish chemists that have been studied less. This work invites to use the same analysis in further studies on other national and international characters.

Full textAbstract:
Sovint s'afirma que El Mercurio, el periòdic principal a Xile, va exercir un paper fonamental en el derrocament del president Salvador Allende en 1973. El punt de vista establert és que El Mercurio va portar un atac frontal contra el govern de la Unitat Popular i que aquesta confrontació d'alguna manera va provocar de manera directa la caiguda d'Allende, doncs en la pràctica equivalia a un anomenat obert a la sedició i al derrocament del govern popular. Aquesta recerca cuali-quantitativa (mitjançant un examen longitudinal d'hemeroteques) centralment repassa aquestes afirmacions i qüestiona la seva validesa a la llum de les dades que es passen per alt prèviament. En lloc d'això, se suggereix que El Mercurio rarament es va adoptar una posició antagonista contra Allende i el seu govern en els termes abans descrits. En canvi, la qual cosa es postula és que aquest periòdic va fer va ser un en-marcat (framing) dels esdeveniments a fi de presentar al govern desbordat i freturós de control, promocionant una percepció de caos generalitzat a causa de les accions i al descontrol polític de l'administració d'Allende. D'aquesta manera, aquest mitjà de comunicació, mitjançant una hàbil estratègia persuasiu-manipulativa, va contribuir a donar sustento i justificació discursiva al cop d'estat militar de l'11 de setembre de 1973 i, de manera molt especial, a la construcció de l'imaginari caòtic que extensivament es té del govern de la UP, en definitiva. La nostra tesi central és que el periòdic en qüestió va tirar mà del ritual de l'objectivitat periodística per instal•lar la seva pròpia agenda política i manipular l'opinió pública xilena.<br>A menudo se afirma que El Mercurio, el periódico principal en Chile, desempeñó un papel fundamental en el derrocamiento del presidente Salvador Allende en 1973.

Nuestra tesis central es que el periódico en cuestión echó mano del ritual de la objetividad periodística para instalar su propia agenda política y manipular la opinión pública chilena.<br>It is often claimed that El Mercurio, the main newspaper in Chile, played a pivotal role in the overthrow of President Salvador Allende in 1973. The established view is that El Mercurio led a frontal attack against the Unidad Popular government and that this confrontation somehow triggered Allende’s downfall. This article re-examines these claims and questions their validity in the light of data which was previously overlooked. Instead, the authors suggest that El Mercurio rarely adopted an openly antagonistic position against Allende and his administration. Instead, what this newspaper did was to frame events so as to present the government as lacking control, while promoting a perception of widespread chaos due to the government’s actions and policies. In so doing, this news media outlet contributed to justifying the military coup but, contrary to popular wisdom, its role was far from crucial in the build-up towards the 1973coup. Our central thesis is that the newspaper utilised journalistic objectivity to advance its own political agenda and manipulate Chilean public opinion. The article is based on a longitudinal examination of newspaper archives and was carried out thanks to Erasmus funding for collaborative work.

Abstract The Massachusetts Highway Department and Massachusetts Turnpike Authority, under the auspices of the United States Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration, are nearing the completion of the construction of a 7.5 mile urban highway corridor which will replace Boston’s elevated Central Artery (Interstate 93) with a new eight to ten lane underground expressway, and a new four lane tunnel (Interstate 90) beneath Boston Harbor connecting South Boston to Logan International Airport. The existing Elevated Artery, a deteriorated six-lane highway built in the 1950’s, traverses downtown Boston through a densely populated urban setting comprised of historical tourist attractions, financial/business districts, and residential neighborhoods. The Dewey Square Tunnel, built at the same time, is a _ mile tunnel directly connecting the Elevated Artery to Interstate 93. Once the northbound of the underground expressway is opened for traffic to the general public in early 2003 and the southbound in 2004, the elevated portion of the Central Artery will be demolished and will be replaced by 27 acres of new open spaces. Dewey Square Tunnel will also undergo extensive reconstruction in order to mesh with the newly constructed underground expressway. The Elevated Artery and Dewey Square Tunnel are constructed of structural steel and concrete. The structural steel is coated with multiple layers of lead based paint containing approximately 20-35 percent lead. Due to the age of the structure and weathering, paint delamination has occurred on numerous areas of the structural steel. Preparation has been underway to abate the lead-based paint prior to demolition/reconstruction. Given the densely populated urban setting, The Project has adopted a comprehensive approach in managing the lead-paint abatement, with ambient air monitoring at the fence line for the protection of public health as the main component of the management program. The driving force behind this approach is the Threshold Exposure Limit (TEL), established by the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MADEP) specifically for the CA/T project. The TEL is 0.14 ug/m3 of lead averaged over a 24-hour period, significantly more stringent than the NAAQS standard of 1.5 ug/m3 of lead averaged over a 90-day period. This paper focuses on the results of the ambient air-monitoring program, the specific LBP removal methods that are required to keep ambient air levels below the TEL, and the corrective actions taken when an exceedance of the TEL is encountered.

Full textAbstract:
The United States electric industry is entering a period where growth and the aging of existing plants will mandate a decision on whether to repower, add capacity or do both. The power generation cycle of choice, today, is the combined cycle that utilizes the Brayton and Rankine cycles. The combustion turbine in a combined cycle can be used in a repowering mode or in a greenfield plant installation. Today’s fuel of choice for new combined cycle power generation is natural gas. However, due to a 300-year supply of coal within the United States, the fuel-of-the future will include coal. Westinghouse has supported the development of coal-fueled gas turbine technology over the past thirty years. Working with the U.S. Department of Energy and other organizations, Westinghouse is actively pursuing the development and commercialization of several coal-fueled processes. To protect the combustion turbine and environment from emissions generated during coal conversion (gasification/combustion) a gas cleanup system must be used. This paper reports on the status of fuel gas cleaning technology and describes the Westinghouse approach to developing an advanced hot gas cleaning system that contains component systems that remove particulate, sulfur, and alkali vapors. The basic process uses ceramic barrier filters for multiple cleaning functions.

Full textAbstract:
On the occasion of three decades of implementation of the Council Directive 93/13 EEC on unfair terms in consumer contracts, the paper examines unfair contractual provisions through relevant regulations at the international, European and national level. Analyzing the origin and thirty-year implementation of the European directive on unfair terms in consumer contracts, the paper points out the significant role of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU), as well as the circumstance that its case law were systematized in 2019 in the Guidelines on the interpretation and application of the Directive. Different ways of legal protection against unfair contract terms in European consumer protection law are analyzed. Afterwards, the legal regime of unfair contract terms in domestic law is discussed, i.e. the Law on Obligations and the Law on Consumer Protection. It is shown that the first rules related to unfair provisions (regardless of their term) were essentially created in the context of the law of general business conditions and were elaborated much later in the context of consumer law. Such a conclusion is confirmed not only by a temporal comparison of the emergence of special laws on general business conditions and European directives, but also within domestic law, in which they are regulated by the Law on Obligations significantly before the Law on Consumer Protection. The work of international organizations in the context of international consumer law is researched, especially the United Nations Guidelines for Consumer Protection, adopted under the auspices of UNCTAD.

Doing Business North America 2022 Report is a study that provides objective measures of business regulations in the United States of America. This years’ edition covers 83 cities in all 50 states, Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico. The largest city from each state is included and, in the case of especially large U.S. states, up to five cities have been included. There are six categories in which the cities were scored and ranked: “Starting a Business,” “Employing Workers,” “Getting Electricity,” “Paying Taxes,” “Land and Space Use,” and “Resolving Insolvency.” Comprised of over 7,700 datapoints, it uses 93 variables to create 30 data indicators to score and rank cities about how easy it is to set up, operate, and shut down a business. The Ease of Doing Business Score is derived from a summation of the scores awarded in each of the six categories measured. The score and ranks included are an overall measure of the ease of doing business for small-and-medium-sized businesses in each city.

Full textAbstract:
Mycorrhizal fungi (MF) play a crucial role within ecosystems by forming mutually symbiotic relationships where they share water, carbon, nutrients, and other benefits with plants they have inoculated. Since these plant communities depend on MF for survival, the status of MF communities can be used as a proxy for the health of the plants they support. Anthropogenic nitrogen (N) deposition can disrupt the symbiotic relationship between the plants and MF by causing a shift in mycorrhizal community composition, and in turn a shift in the plant structure within an ecosystem. Lilleskov et al. (2019) summarized recent research on critical loads (CLs) of N for a shift from N-sensitive to N-tolerant mycorrhizal and tree communities, setting CLs to protect conifer-associated MF (5?6 kg-N ha-1 yr-1), and broadleaf-associated MF (10?20 kg-N ha-1 yr-1). Allen et al. (2016) developed CLs of N for shifts in arbuscular MF communities in California coastal sage scrub which contribute to the conversion of native shrubland to exotic annual grassland (10?11 kg-N ha-1 yr-1). Here we apply the CL-N for forest mycorrhizae to forested areas in the contiguous United States (CONUS), and the CL-N for southern California shrubland mycorrhizae to shrublands and grasslands within the Mediterranean ecoregion of California. The National Atmospheric Deposition Program (NADP) Total Deposition model (TDep) for total N deposition from 2018?2020 (v2018.02) is used to calculate exceedances of the CLs and evaluate potential risk to forest health. The areas of exceedance are calculated for all units within CONUS managed by the Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), National Park Service (NPS), and Forest Service (USFS). Within CONUS, 68% of federal land managed by the three agencies is forest: 76% is conifer, 17% is broadleaf, and 7% is a mixture of both tree communities. The USFS manages 93% of this forested land, and 30% of USFS forests are in exceedance of CLs-N for MF. The NPS manages a smaller portion of federal forested land at 6%, with exceedance occurring in 29% of that area. The FWS controls only 1% of forested land but has exceedance of CLs in 43% of that area. Within Mediterranean California (CA), 29% of federal land managed by the three agencies is shrubland or grassland. Federal shrublands are in exceedance of the CL-N for MF in 25% of the area. The USFS manages 91% of federal shrublands in Mediterranean CA, with 27% of USFS CA shrublands in exceedance of the CL. The NPS manages 8% of federal shrublands in Mediterranean CA, of which only 3% is experiencing exceedance. The FWS is only responsible for 1% federal shrublands in Mediterranean CA, with exceedance occurring in 22% of that area. This analysis shows the effects that N deposition has on forest and shrubland ecosystems occurring within federal lands across CONUS. Knowing the extent of exceedance observed within federal lands informs natural resource management. On smaller scales, this analysis enables federal land managers to better understand what is happening on their lands, effectively guiding local management decisions. On larger scales, the analysis outlines a portion of the overall effects that N deposition has on ecosystems within CONUS, providing policymakers with the scientific evidence required to support future policy actions aimed at protecting natural resources.

Full textAbstract:
A composite reference section for the upper Ediacaran and lower Cambrian is documented for a location near Moose Horn River in Wrigley Lake map area (NTS 95-M), Mackenzie Mountains, Northwest Territories. Four measured stratigraphic sections cover, in ascending order: the uppermost Sheepbed Formation; the informal Sheepbed carbonate; the lower, middle, and upper members of the Backbone Ranges Formation; the Sekwi Formation; and the lowermost beds of the Rockslide Formation. The uppermost Sheepbed Formation is dominated by dark-weathering shale and siltstone. The Sheepbed carbonate (440 m) lies conformably on the Sheepbed Formation and consists of limestone, dolostone, and dolomitic siltstone, including several horizons of rudstone with clasts up to boulder size. The upper surface of the Sheepbed carbonate has been eroded and the unit thins to a zero edge to the east. The lower member of the Backbone Ranges Formation (253 m) is heterolithic, including interbedded quartzose siltstone and quartzose sandstone, quartz arenite (locally with horizons of quartz pebbles), and dolostone to dolomitic sandstone. The middle member of the Backbone Ranges Formation (93 m) consists mainly of pink to grey-weathering limestone with red mudstone partings. The upper member (501.5 m) is dominated by quartz arenite, but also contains intervals of siltstone. Partway through the upper member there is a marker unit of dolostone to dolomitic sandstone that previous work suggests is a tongue of the Ediacaran Risky Formation. Based on regional correlations, the top of this marker may approximate the Ediacaran-Cambrian boundary in this section. The Sekwi Formation lies abruptly upon the Backbone Ranges Formation. The contact is unconformable at this locality and mapping in the area indicates eastward erosional removal of the upper member of the Backbone Ranges Formation beneath the Sekwi Formation. The Sekwi Formation here consists of variegated siltstone with lesser dolostone, limestone, and quartz sandstone. An abrupt contact with nodular limestone and grey shale of the overlying Rockslide Formation approximates the base of Cambrian Series 3.

Shan, Yina, Praem Mehta, Duminda Perera, and Yurissa Yarela. Cost and Efficiency of Arsenic Removal from Groundwater: A Review. United Nations University Institute for Water, Environment and Health, 2019. http://dx.doi.org/10.53328/kmwt2129.
Full textAbstract:
Hundreds of millions of people worldwide are exposed to arsenic-contaminated drinking water, leading to significant health complications, and social and economic losses. Currently, a wide range of technologies exists to remove arsenic from water. However, despite ongoing research on such technologies, their widespread application remains limited. To bridge this gap, this review aims to compare the effectiveness and costs of various arsenic remediation technologies while considering their practical applicability. A search conducted using the Medline and Embase databases yielded 31 relevant articles published from 1996 to 2018, which were categorized into laboratory and field studies. Data on the effectiveness of technologies in removing arsenic and associated costs were extracted and standardized for comparison as much as was possible, given the diversity of ways that studies report their key results. The twenty-three (23) technologies tested in laboratory settings demonstrated efficiencies ranging from 50% to ~100%, with the majority reaching relatively high removal efficiencies (>90%). Approximately half achieved the WHO standard of 10 µg/L. Laboratory studies used groundwater samples from nine (9) different countries – Argentina, Bangladesh, Cambodia, China, Guatemala, India, Thailand, the United States, and Vietnam. The fourteen (14) technologies tested in the field achieved removal efficiency levels ranging between 60% and ~99%, with ten (10) attaining above 90% removal efficiency. Of these, only five (5) reached established the WHO standard. Some of the technologies under-performed when their influent water contained excessive concentrations of arsenic. Only six (6) countries (Argentina, Bangladesh, Chile, China, India, and Nicaragua) were represented among the studies that implemented and tested technologies in the field, either at household or community level. For technologies tested in the laboratory, the cost of treating one cubic meter of water ranged from near-zero to ~USD 93, except for one technology which cost USD 299/m³. For studies conducted in the field, the cost of treating one cubic meter of water ranged from near-zero to ~USD 70. Key factors influencing the removal efficiencies and their costs include the arsenic concentration of the influent water, pH of the influent water, materials used, the energy required, absorption capacity, labour used, regeneration period and geographical location. Technologies that demonstrate high removal efficiencies when treating moderately arsenic-contaminated water may not be as efficient when treating highly contaminated water. Also, the lifetime of the removal agents is a significant factor in determining their efficiency. It is suggested that remediation technologies that demonstrate high arsenic removal efficiencies in a laboratory setting need to be further assessed for their suitability for larger-scale application, considering their high production and operational costs. Costs can be reduced by using locally available materials and natural adsorbents, which provide near zero-cost options and can have high arsenic removal efficiencies. A notable feature of many arsenic removal approaches is that some countries with resource constraints or certain environmental circumstances – like typically high arsenic concentrations in groundwater –aim to reach resultant arsenic concentrations that are much higher than WHO’s recommended standard of 10 µg/L. This report maintains that – while this may be a pragmatic approach that helps progressively mitigate the arsenic-related health risks – it is unfortunately not a sustainable solution. Continuing exposure to higher levels of arsenic ingestion remains harmful for humans. Hence arsenic-removal technology should only be seen efficient if it can bring the water to the WHO standard. A less radical approach effectively shifts the attention from the origin of the problem in addressing the impacts and postpones achieving the best possible outcome for populations. The quantitative summary of costs and effectiveness of arsenic remediation technologies reviewed in this report can serve as a preliminary guideline for selecting the most cost-effective option. It may also be used as an initial guideline (minimum standard) for summarising the results of future studies describing arsenic remediation approaches. Looking ahead, this study identifies four priority areas that may assist in commercializing wide-scale implementation of arsenic removal technologies. These include: i) focusing efforts on determining market viability of technologies, ii) overcoming practical limitations of technologies, iii) determining technology contextual appropriateness and iv) concerted effort to increase knowledge sharing in and across regions to accelerate the implementation of research on the ground. Overall, the current science and knowledge on arsenic remediation technologies may be mature enough already to help significantly reduce the global numbers of affected populations. The missing link for today’s arsenic removal challenge is the ability to translate research evidence and laboratory-level successes into quantifiable and sustainable impacts on the ground. Achieving this requires a concerted and sustained effort from policymakers, engineers, healthcare providers, donors, and community leaders.

Full textAbstract:
In July 2015 the Southeast Coast Network conducted an assessment of water quality in the vicinity of Cape Hatteras and Cape Lookout National Seashores as part of the National Park Service Vital Signs Monitoring Program. Monitoring was conducted following methods developed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as part of the National Coastal Assessment Program (EPA 2009). Laboratory analysis measured chlorophyll a and total and dissolved concentrations of nitrogen and phosphorous. Field measurements included water temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, and salinity. Water clarity, which requires a Secchi depth measurement, was calculated when possible. Because waters were often too shallow to effectively obtain an accurate Secchi depth measurement, turbidity measurements are also presented. All measured parameters were rated as good, fair, or poor based on thresholds set by the EPA (2012). • Water clarity was not calculated at all sites due to the shallow depth of the seashore waters. Turbidity measurements ranged from 2.7 to 10.9 Formazin Nephelometric Units (FNU), and are good according to North Carolina state standards.. • Chlorophyll a concentrations were rated good at 24 sites (80% ). Six sites (20%) sampled in 2015 were rated fair. • Dissolved nutrient concentrations were good across the assessed area with dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) and dissolved inorganic phosphorus (DIP) concentrations rated good at all 30 sites. • Dissolved oxygen levels were rated good at 97% of sites (29 of 30 sites) and fair at 3% (one site). • A water-quality condition summary index was calculated for each site sampled in Cape Hatteras and Cape Lookout National Seashores based on the categorical assessments of chlorophyll a, DIN and DIP concentrations, and dissolved oxygen. This summary index indicated good water-quality conditions at 93% of sites (28 of 30) and fair conditions at two sites (7%). • Although water-quality conditions were rated as good at most sites, two sites near Manteo exibited fair but degrading conditions, with elevated total nitrogen, and chlorophyll a concentrations, and low water-clarity conditions.

Full textAbstract:
The Indiana Dunes (comprised of 15 geographic units (see Figure 1) which include Indiana Dunes National Park, Dunes State Park, and adjacent Shirley Heinze Land Trust properties) are remarkable in the Midwest and Great Lakes region for the vascular plant diversity, with an astounding 1,212 native plant species in an area of approximately 16,000 acres! This high plant diversity is the result of the interactions among postglacial migrations, the variety of soil substrates, moisture conditions, topography, successional gradients, ?re regimes, proximity to Lake Michigan, and light levels. This richness is all the more signi?cant given the past human alterations of the landscape resulting from logging; conversion to agriculture; construction of transportation corridors, industrial sites, and residential communities; ?re suppression; land abandonment; and exotic species invasions. Despite these impacts, multiple natural areas supporting native vegetation persist. Thus, each of the 15 units of the Indiana Dunes presents up to eight subunits varying in human disturbance and consequently in ?oristic richness. Of the most signi?cant units of the park in terms of number of native species, Cowles Dunes and the Dunes State Park stand out from all the other units, with 786 and 686 native species, respectively. The next highest ranked units for numbers of native species include Keiser (630), Furnessville (574), Miller Woods (551), and Hoosier Prairie (542). The unit with lowest plant richness is Heron Rookery (220), with increasing richness in progression from Calumet Prairie (320), Hobart Prairie Grove (368), to Pinhook Bog (380). Signi?cant natural areas, retaining native vegetation composition and structure, include Cowles Bog (Cowles Dunes Unit), Howes Prairie (Cowles Dunes), Dunes Nature Preserve (Dunes State Park), Dunes Prairie Nature Preserve (Dunes State Park), Pinhook Bog, Furnessville Woods (Furnessville), Miller Woods, Inland Marsh, and Mnoke Prairie (Bailly). Wilhelm (1990) recorded a total of 1,131 native plant species for the ?ora of the Indiana Dunes. This was similar to the 1,132 species recorded by the National Park Service (2014) for the Indiana Dunes. Based on the nomenclature of Swink and Wilhelm (1994), Indiana Dunes National Park has 1,206 native plant species. If we include native varieties and hybrids, the total increases to 1,244 taxa. Based on the nomenclature used for this report?the Flora of North America (FNA 2022), and the Integrated Taxonomic Information System (ITIS 2022)?Indiana Dunes National Park houses 1,206 native vascular plant species. As of this writing (2020), the Indiana Dunes is home to 37% of the species of conservation concern in Indiana (241 out of 624 Indiana-listed species): state extirpated = 10 species, state endangered = 75, and state threatened = 100. Thus, 4% of the state-listed species in the Indiana Dunes are extirpated, 31% endangered, and 41% threatened. Watch list and rare categories have been eliminated. Twenty-nine species once documented from the Indiana Dunes may be extirpated because they have not been seen since 2001. Eleven have not been seen since 1930 and 15 since 1978. If we exclude these species, then there would be a total of 1,183 species native to the Indiana Dunes. Many of these are cryptic in their life history or diminutive, and thus are di?cult to ?nd. Looking at the growth form of native plants, <1% (nine species) are clubmosses, 3% (37) are ferns, 8% (297) are grasses and sedges, 56% (682) are forbs or herbs, 1% (16) are herbaceous vines, <1% (7) are subshrubs (woody plants of herbaceous stature), 5% (60) are shrubs, 1% (11) are lianas (woody vines), and 8% (93) are trees. Of the 332 exotic species (species introduced from outside North America), 65% (219 species) are forbs such as garlic mustard (Alliaria petiolata), 15% (50 species) are graminoids such as phragmites (Phragmites australis ssp. australis), 2% (seven species) are vines such as ?eld bindweed (Convulvulus arvensis), <1% (two species) are subshrubs such as Japanese pachysandra (Pachysandra terminalis), 8% (28 species) are shrubs such as Asian bush honeysuckle (Lonicera spp.), 1% (three species) are lianas such as oriental bittersweet (Celastrus orbiculatus), and 8% (23 species) are trees such as tree of heaven (Ailanthus altissimus). Of the 85 adventive species, native species that have invaded from elsewhere in North America, 14% (11 species) are graminoids such as broom sedge (Andropogon virginicus), 57% (48 species) are forbs such as fall phlox (Phlox paniculata), 5% (six species) are shrubs such as Carolina allspice (Calycanthus floridus), 3% (two species) are subshrubs such as holly leaved barberry (Berberis repens), 1% (one species) is a liana (trumpet creeper (Campsis radicans), 3% two species) are herbaceous vines such as tall morning glory (Ipomoea purpurea), and 17% (15 species) are trees such as American holly (Ilex opaca). A total of 436 species were found to be ?special? based on political rankings (federal and state-listed threatened and endangered species), species with charismatic ?owers, and those that are locally rare.

Full textAbstract:
A revised qualitative assessment of the hydrocarbon resource potential is presented for the Hudson Bay sedimentary basin that underlies Hudson Bay and adjacent onshore areas of Ontario, Manitoba, and Nunavut. The Hudson Basin is a large intracratonic sedimentary basin that preserves dominantly Ordovician to Devonian aged limestone and evaporite strata. Maximum preserved sediment thickness is about 2.5 km. Source rock is the petroleum system element that has the lowest chance of success; the potential source rock is thin, may be discontinuous, and the thin sedimentary cover may not have been sufficient to achieve the temperatures required to generate and expel oil from a source rock over much of the basin. The highest potential is in the center of the basin, where the hydrocarbon potential is considered mp;lt;'Mediummp;gt;'. Hydrocarbon potential decreases towards the edges of the basin due to fewer plays being present, and thinner strata reduce the chance of oil generation and expulsion. Quantitative hydrocarbon assessment considers seven plays. Input parameters for field size and field density (per unit area) are based on analog Michigan, Williston, and Illinois intracratonic sedimentary basins that are about the same age and that had similar depositional settings to Hudson Basin. Basin-wide play and local prospect chances of success were assigned based on local geological conditions in Hudson Bay. Each of the seven plays were analyzed in Rose and Associates PlayRA software, which performs a Monte Carlo simulation using the local chance of success matrix and field size and prospect numbers estimated from analog basins. Hudson sedimentary basin has a mean estimate of 67.3 million recoverable barrels of oil equivalent and a 10% chance of having 202.2 or more million barrels of recoverable oil equivalent. The mean chance for the largest expected pool is about 15 million recoverable barrels of oil equivalent (MMBOE), and there is only a 10% chance of there being a field larger than 23.2 MMBOE recoverable. The small expected field sizes are based on the large analog data set from Michigan, Williston and Illinois basins, and are due to the geological conditions that create the traps. The small size of the largest expected field, the low chance of exploration success, and the small overall resource make it unlikely that there are any economically recoverable hydrocarbons in the Hudson Basin in the foreseeable future. The Southampton Island area of interest includes 93 087 km2 of nearshore waters around Southampton Island and Chesterfield Inlet in the Kivalliq Region of Nunavut. Of the total resource estimated for Hudson Bay, 14 million barrels are apportioned to the Southampton Island Area of Interest.
