Abstract As in other countries, Ukraine has persistent ageing stereotypes, with old age associated with wealth reduction, financial instability and social exclusion. Shifting these negative attitudes to active-ageing and seniors’ inclusion requires a systematic challenge. Not so long times ago the majority of people in their third age were unaware of active-ageing or expressed scepticism about the feasibility of creating an age-friendly community in Ukraine. Since the large-scale integration of Ukrainian UTAs into the EU agenda for intellectual, economic and social progress of society and individuals regardless of age, the changes in lifelong activities and participation in personally and socially meaningful ways for seniors caused a new outlook for them involving active vitality and optimism, confidence in intelligence, personal and social inclusion. This publication is devoted to the analysis of possible road ahead for the age-friendly community in Ukraine, negative stereotyping towards senior people from the side of business and individuals. The main goal is introducing methodology, practices and tools for the successful performance of initiative for age-friendly compass in Ukraine aimed to measure ageism in society.

Full textAbstract:
Bearriverops n. gen. is a distinctive clade of small, vaulted trilobites from the Lower Ordovician (Ibexian Series; Stairsian Stage) of Utah and Idaho. The genus includes at least seven new species known from silicified material of which five are well enough known to name: B. alsacharovi, B. borderinnensis, B. deltaensis, B. ibexensis, and B. loganensis (the type species). All are known from the lower Fillmore Formation in western Utah; B. alsacharovi and B. loganensis are also known from the Garden City Formation of southeastern Idaho. Both units record deposition in shallow subtidal environments above storm wave base. Bearriverops is characterized particularly by a suite of pygidial apomorphies apparently related to spiral enrollment. Its close relatives include a large group of mostly undescribed Skullrockian and Stairsian species with more conventional spinose pygidia. Together, the taxa are referred to Dimeropygidae, which is considered a senior synonym of Toernquistiidae. Cladistic parsimony analysis of Bearriverops indicates that B. alsacharovi and B. borderinnensis are sister taxa, and that B. loganensis, B. deltaensis, and the plesiomorphic B. ibexensis are successive sister taxa to this clade.

Full textAbstract:
Recently collected specimens of Catopsalis fissidens from the Torrejonian interval of the Nacimiento Formation in the San Juan Basin, New Mexico significantly augment knowledge of the morphology and dental variability of the species. This new knowledge suggests C. foliatus Cope, 1882 (=C. johnstoni Fox, 1989) is a valid Puercan species and that C. fissidens Cope, 1884a is a subjective senior synonym of C. utahensis Gazin, 1939. This latter synonymy further increases taxa shared between the Dragon Canyon local fauna of Utah and the Torrejonian fauna of the San Juan Basin, thus supporting previous inclusion of the Dragonian land-mammal “age” in the Torrejonian.

Abstract The Summit County Aging Alliance (SCAA) in Park City, Utah is representative of state government, county and city government(s), private citizens, land developers, Senior Center attendees, national and local associations, non-profit support organizations, home health agencies, colleges and universities, recreation centers, hospital administrators and area associations on aging. The focus of the Alliance has been to provide a forum for critical listening and discussion. Data from a survey to determine the ‘real’ needs and vision of the older adult community provided perspective from more than 100 older adults representing diverse ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds. This work is now providing a benchmark from which both the city and county governments in Summit County are creating their strategic plans, and the Alliance has become the official voice of the community’s older adults.

Abstract Purpose This paper presents findings of a quasi-experimental assessment to gauge the research productivity and degree of interdisciplinarity of research center outputs. Of special interest, we share an enriched visualization of research co-authoring patterns. Design/methodology/approach We compile publications by 45 researchers in each of 1) the iUTAH project, which we consider here to be analogous to a “research center,” 2) CG1— a comparison group of participants in two other Utah environmental research centers, and 3) CG2—a comparison group of Utah university environmental researchers not associated with a research center. We draw bibliometric data from Web of Science and from Google Scholar. We gather publications for a period before iUTAH had been established (2010–2012) and a period after (2014–2016). We compare these research outputs in terms of publications and citations thereto. We also measure interdisciplinarity using Integration scoring and generate science overlay maps to locate the research publications across disciplines. Findings We find that participation in the iUTAH project appears to increase research outputs (publications in the After period) and increase research citation rates relative to the comparison group researchers (although CG1 research remains most cited, as it was in the Before period). Most notably, participation in iUTAH markedly increases co-authoring among researchers—in general; and for junior, as well as senior, faculty; for men and women: across organizations; and across disciplines. Research limitations The quasi-experimental design necessarily generates suggestive, not definitively causal, findings because of the imperfect controls. Practical implications This study demonstrates a viable approach for research assessment of a center or program for which random assignment of control groups is not possible. It illustrates use of bibliometric indicators to inform R&D program management. Originality/value New visualizations of researcher collaboration provide compelling comparisons of the extent and nature of social networking among target cohorts.

Abstract Objectives To determine the relationship among body fat, cardiorespiratory fitness, and carotid artery thickness in a large group of older adults. Methods Data were collected at the Huntsman World Senior Games held in St. George, Utah between 2016–2019. Participants visited the Dixie Convention Center (St. George, UT) for free health screenings associated with the Games. The data were cross-sectional; for repeat participants only the most recent results were analyzed. The measures of interest for this study included: body fat, body mass index (BMI), cardiorespiratory fitness (predicted VO2max), and carotid artery intima media thickness (CIMT). Body fat percentage was measured using bioelectrical impedance. BMI was calculated via weight (kg) and height (m2). Predicted VO2max was calculated at rest using a heart rate monitor and the validated Polar fitness test. CIMT was obtained via images of the right and left carotid arteries, visualized and captured with a portable diagnostic ultrasound system. Differences by sex were determined using independent t-tests. Multiple regression was used to examine associations between measures. Results For this analysis, 649 participants (232 women; 326 men; 68.13 ± 8.71 y, 25.15 ± 4.92 kg/m2) were included. Women had a higher body fat percentage than men (32.00 vs. 22.42%) (t < 0.0001). However, men had a significantly higher BMI (26.28 vs. 24.01 kg/m2) and cardiorespiratory fitness (40.22 vs. 38.82 ml/kg/min) (t < 0.05) than women. Accounting for age and sex, body fat % significantly predicted CIMT thickness (P < 0.05) but BMI (P = 0.0853) and cardiorespiratory fitness did not predict CIMT thickness (P > 0.05). Conclusions CIMT thickness appears to be related to body fat percentage among older adults. Subsequent studies could examine how reduction in body fat changes CIMT thickness and how that influences risk of chronic disease, such as stroke. Funding Sources There was no funding for this project.

Abstract Older adult populations in rural America are growing more rapidly than ever before, but most do not have the facilities and resources to support the growth. Good health and quality of life are the driving forces in these communities. However, they need assistance in restructuring their support for older adult services and education, housing, social engagement opportunities, and care for aging-in-place. Summit County Utah is a federally recognized rural community and may act as a functioning model for recognizing and addressing these aging issues for other rural areas within the United States. The Summit County Aging Alliance (SCAA) is a unique union of multiple federal, state and local agencies and, concerned and influential citizens who are helping to create the programs and services needed such as the submission of grants, the reassessment of the senior center, the creation of open communication between county and city politicians, connection of locals with key stakeholders, and growth to geriatric medicine in the area. SCAA is one of the five priorities of the Summit County Health Department Mental Wellness Alliance. SCAA focuses on the issues that are crucial for an older adult to sustain a healthy lifestyle in a rural community.

Abstract Abstract 1904 Arsenic trioxide (ATO) is a well-known inhibitor of cell proliferation in certain forms of malignancy and has been successfully used in the treatment of acute promyelocytic leukemia. Preclinical and clinical studies showed that ATO has anti-myeloma effects both as a single agent and in the combination therapy; however, the underlying mechanism remains elusive. In this study, the molecular mechanisms of ATO-induced myeloma apoptosis were explored on four myeloma cell lines OPM2, U266, RPMI8226, and KMS28PE of wild type or mutant p53 status and six primary myeloma cells. Gene expression profiling (GEP) of CD138+ bone marrow plasma cells from 22 healthy individuals (NPC), 44 patients with monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS), and 351 newly diagnosed MM patients were published previously (Zhan et al. Blood. 2006;108:2020-8. Shaughnessy et al. Blood. 2007;109:2276-84.); and GEP from 9 myeloma cell lines were used in this study from the unpublished data of the University of Utah. Cell growth and viability were assayed by trypan blue dye exclusion. Cell cycle and apoptosis were analyzed by flow cytometry using CellQuest software and Vybrant Apoptosis Assay Kit. Alterations of the signaling pathways induced by ATO were tested by real-time PCR and western blot. GEP was performed by using the Affymetrix U133Plus2.0 microarray. ATO induced potent inhibition of myeloma cell growth and myeloma cell apoptosis, compared with controls. Further investigation showed that ATO down-regulated c-Myc and phosphorylated (p)-Rb while up-regulating p53, p21Cip1, and p27Kip1 proteins, resulting in G0/G1 or G2/M cell cycle arrest. ATO treatment increased mRNA levels of interferon regulatory factor-1 and TRAIL, as well as protein levels of caspase 8 and cleaved caspase 3, indicating involvement of the extrinsic apoptotic pathway in the mutated p53 myeloma cells. ATO also activated caspases 3 and 9, indicating involvement of the intrinsic apoptotic pathway in the wild type p53 myeloma cells. The usage of ATO and TRAIL agonist together has a synergistic effect, indicated by a combination index of less than 1. More importantly, these molecular changes induced by ATO-treated myeloma cells are very similar to the baseline expression pattern of hyperdiploid myeloma, which has a relative good prognosis with high expression of TRAIL and interferon related genes. Together, our data suggest that ATO induces apoptosis in MM through either extrinsic or intrinsic signaling pathway depending on the p53 genetic background. These observations may be employed as prognostic tools and lead to novel therapies in primary myelomas.

Stokes, Cindy R. "An Analysis of Reverse Mortgage Clients at the Utah State University Family Life Center Housing and Financial Counseling Services." DigitalCommons@USU, 2010. https://digitalcommons.usu.edu/etd/789.
Full textAbstract:
The purposes of this study were to describe and categorize the types of clients seeking reverse mortgage counseling, and to document the growth in demand for reverse mortgage counseling from one counseling center: The USU Family Life Center - Housing and Financial Counseling Services (FLC HFC). A second purpose was to gain a better understanding of the reasons why more senior Americans are seeking reverse mortgages. A third purpose was to gain a better understanding of the retirement preparedness of current seniors seeking reverse mortgages, which could lead to improved counseling services, early retirement intervention awareness, and encourage increased pre-retirement preparation.
Information was collected from 361 inactive reverse mortgage counseling files at the FLC HFC. A subset of 117 more recent and complete files was used to describe, categorize, and gain greater understanding of the clients seeking reverse mortgage counseling, their reasons for considering a reverse mortgage, and their retirement preparation. Descriptive statistics, crosstabs, ANOVAS, and frequency tables were used.
Clientele were mostly Caucasian, married, and retired, and their mean age was 74 for males and 72 for females. Average annual income per client household was $29,483, ranging from $7,860 to $92,400. Most clients were mortgagors compared to homeowners with the most common reason for seeking a reverse mortgage to pay off an existing mortgage followed by increasing income. Slightly more than half (51.4%) did not obtain a reverse mortgage; of those who did, 85.7% received all or some of their funds as a lump sum.
This study was unique in that it analyzed clients seeking counseling for a reverse mortgage rather than just the borrowers who originated a reverse mortgage. It also looked at their reasons for seeking the reverse mortgage. Younger clients were more likely to desire to pay off an existing forward mortgage; older clients were more likely to need increased income. The practical significance of the study's findings can be used to encourage the preparation of near-retirement adults and to encourage senior mortgagors to carefully plan the use of funds received from a reverse mortgage leading to an increase in the financial well-being of seniors.

Sammanfattning Syfte: Syftet med studien var att undersöka aktiva seniorers syn på utbud och närhet till platser för fysisk aktivitet i närområdet kopplat till graden av fysisk aktivitet hos seniorer i åldern 65 år och äldre i Stockholmsområdet. Metod: Studien genomfördes genom en enkätundersökning som delades ut på anläggningar för fysisk aktivitet i Stockholm med omnejd. Totalt deltog 101 personer (84 kvinnor och 16 män) mellan 65 och 90 år i studien. Fysisk aktivitetsnivå (MET- min/vecka), upplevt utbud samt närhet till platser för fysisk aktivitet besvarades i enkäten. Resultat: Majoriteten av deltagarna upplevde att utbudet av seniorträning, motionsanläggning samt park/naturområde/motionsspår i närområdet var bra och bara ett fåtal upplevde utbudet som dåligt. De som upplevde att utbudet av motionsanläggningar var bra visade också en tendens till högre total fysisk aktivitetsnivå än de som upplevde utbudet som dåligt. Det fanns ingen skillnad i aktivitetsnivå mellan de som upplevde att utbudet av seniorträning respektive park/naturområde/motionsspår var bra och de som upplevde att utbudet var dåligt. Det fanns inga signifikanta skillnader i fysisk aktivitetsnivå mellan deltagarna som hade 1-10 min, 11-20 min och över 21 min till platsen där de utförde sin fysiska aktivitet. Det fanns ingen signifikant skillnad i hur yngre äldre (65-71 år) och äldre äldre (72-90 år) svarade i hur nära de hade till platsen för fysisk aktivitet samt hur de upplevde utbudet av dessa. Ingen skillnad fanns heller i fysisk aktivitetsnivå mellan åldersgrupperna. Slutsats: Studien fann att aktiva seniorer i åldern 65-90 inte var mer fysiskt aktiva om de hade nära eller upplevde att utbudet var bra av platser för fysisk aktivitet i närområdet. Ett bra utbud av motionsanläggningar kan däremot vara positivt för äldres fysiska aktivitet. Det fanns inga skillnader i närhet respektive utbud mellan yngre äldre och äldre äldre. Det kan därför vara en idé för framtida studier att även undersöka fysisk funktion i relation till ålder och fysisk aktivitetsnivå för att få en ytterligare dimension. Funktionsnivån kan därför ses som mer viktig än åldersskillnaden. En ytterligare förståelse för yttre miljöfaktorer så som utbud och närhetens inverkan på äldres fysiska aktivitet är viktigt för att öka äldres fysiska aktivitetsnivå. Därmed kan funktionsnivå och självständighet bibehållas på äldre dagar.
