Abstract

It was previously shown by the second author that every knot in $S^3$ is ambient isotopic to one component of a two-component, alternating, hyperbolic link. In this paper, we define the alternating volume of a knot $K$ to be the minimum volume of any link $L$ in a natural class of alternating, hyperbolic links such that $K$ is ambient isotopic to a component of $L$. Our main result shows that the alternating volume of a knot is coarsely equivalent to the twist number of a knot., Comment: 15 pages, 14 figures

Abstract

Objectives The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) recommend that pregnant women receive the Tdap vaccine during every pregnancy. The objectives of this paper are to evaluate disparities in Tdap vaccination among pregnant women in the U.S., and to assess whether race/ethnicity and other characteristics are associated with factors that inform pregnant women's decisions about Tdap vaccination. Methods We conducted a nationwide cross-sectional web-based survey of pregnant women in the U.S. during June-July 2014. The primary outcome was self-reported vaccination status with Tdap during pregnancy, categorized as vaccinated, unvaccinated with intent to be vaccinated during the current pregnancy, and unvaccinated with no intent to be vaccinated during the current pregnancy. Secondary outcomes included factors that influenced women's decisions about vaccination and information needs. We used multivariable logistic regression models to estimate odds ratios for associations between race/ethnicity and the outcomes. Results Among pregnant women who completed the survey, 41% (95% CI 36-45%) reported that they had received Tdap during the current pregnancy. Among those women in the third trimester at the time of survey, 52% (95% CI 43-60%) had received Tdap during the current pregnancy. Hispanic women had higher Tdap vaccination than white women and black women (53%, p < 0.05, compared with 38 and 36%, respectively). In logistic regression models adjusting for maternal age, geographic region, education, and income, Hispanic women were more likely to have been vaccinated with Tdap compared with white women (aOR 2.29, 95% CI 1.20-4.37). Higher income and residing in the western U.S. were also independently associated with Tdap vaccination during pregnancy. Twenty-six percent of surveyed women had not been vaccinated with Tdap yet but intended to receive the vaccine during the current pregnancy; this proportion did not differ significantly by race/ethnicity. The most common factor that influenced women to get vaccinated was a health care provider (HCP) recommendation. The most common reason for not getting vaccinated was a concern about safety of the vaccine. Conclusions This study found that some disparities exist in Tdap vaccination among pregnant women in the U.S., and HCPs have an important role in providing information and recommendations about the maternal Tdap recommendation to pregnant women so they can make informed vaccination decisions., Author(s): Jennifer L.

Abstract

Objective: Public health agencies have a critical role in providing effective messaging about mitigation strategies during a public health emergency. The objectives of this study were (1) to understand perceptions of COVID-19 vaccines, including concerns about side effects, safety, and effectiveness and how these perceptions influence vaccine decision-making among US adults and (2) to learn what messages might motivate vaccine uptake. Methods: In April and May 2021, we conducted 14 online focus groups with non-Hispanic English-speaking and English- and Spanish-speaking Hispanic adults (N = 99) not vaccinated against COVID-19. We oversampled adults aged 18-39 years and rural residents and systematically assessed 10 test messages. Researchers used a standardized guide and an a priori codebook for focus group discussions, coding transcripts, and thematic analysis. Results: Vaccine hesitancy factors included fear of the unknown; long-term side effects, including infertility; and beliefs that the vaccines were developed too quickly and were not sufficiently effective. Motivating factors for receiving vaccination included the ability to safely socialize and travel. Health care providers were considered important trusted messengers. Participants were critical of most messages tested. Messages that came across as "honest" about what is not yet known about COVID-19 vaccines were perceived more positively than other messages tested. Messages were seen as ineffective if perceived as vague or lacking in data and specificity. Conclusions: Messages that were simple and transparent about what is unknown about vaccines relative to emerging science were viewed most favorably. Health care providers, friends, and family were considered influential in vaccination decision-making. Findings underscore the benefits of research-informed strategies for developing and disseminating effective messages addressing critical issues in a public health emergency. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

18. Self-Administered Questions and Interviewer-Respondent Familiarity

Author

Rodriguez, Leslie A., Sana, Mariano, and Sisk, Blake

Abstract

We examine the effects of interviewer-respondent familiarity on both response patterns and rates of item nonresponse when self-administered questions (SAQs) are used. We use SAQ data from a survey in which the researchers experimentally ensured that there would be varying degrees of familiarity between interviewers and respondents. Our results reveal only minimal differences in response patterns by degree of prior acquaintance between interviewer and respondent, indicating that SAQs are effective at eliminating potential bias stemming from such relationships. Our results for item nonresponse depend on how we measure the relationship between interviewer and respondent; but in all cases, it is clear that prior knowledge of one another, far from harmful, leads to low nonresponse rates to SAQs. Thus, researchers using SAQs may not need to adhere to the norm that interviewers and respondents must be strangers, with practical and cost-effective consequences for data collection.

19. Critical Elements of Student Assistance Programs: A Qualitative Study

Author

Torres-Rodriguez, Leslie, Beyard, Karen, and Goldstein, Marc B.

Abstract

Student assistance programs (SAPs) are one approach for using teams to respond to student needs, but there is little research on SAP implementation and whether SAPs function as intended. The authors present findings from a study of two SAPs that use a model developed by Connecticut's Governor's Prevention Partnership. The study focused on perceptions of participants about how components of the model contributed to team effectiveness in addressing student needs. Analysis of semistructured interviews with team members suggests that six elements contributed to effectiveness: human resources, administrative involvement, multidisciplinary perspectives, working agreement and rules, good team processes, and teacher support. Data also suggest the need for improved communication about the SAP process. Implications for practice are discussed.

Abstract

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has significantly impacted global public health safety and the economy. Multiple antiviral drugs have been developed, and some have received regulatory approval and/or authorization. The use of nutraceuticals can be beneficial for preventing and treating COVID-19 complications. AHCC is a standardized, cultured extract of an edible mushroom Lentinula edodes of the Basidiomycete family of fungi that is enriched in acylated α-1,4-glucans. Here, we evaluated the effects of the oral administration of AHCC on the host response to SARS-CoV-2 infection in two murine models, K18-hACE2 transgenic mice and immunocompetent BALB/c mice. Oral administration of AHCC every other day for one week before and one day post SARS-CoV-2 infection in both strains of mice decreased the viral load and attenuated inflammation in the lungs. AHCC treatment also significantly reduced SARS-CoV-2-induced lethality in the K18-hACE2 mice. AHCC administration enhanced the expansion of γδ T cells in the spleen and lungs before and after viral infection and promoted T helper 1-prone mucosal and systemic T cell responses in both models. In AHCC-fed BALB/c mice, SARS-CoV-2 specific IgG responses were also enhanced. In summary, AHCC supplementation enhances host resistance against mild and severe COVID-19 infection primarily via the promotion of innate and adaptive T cell immune responses in mice.

Abstract

El barrio Veinte de Julio es un emblema de la capital colombiana porque es el sitio de peregrinación a la iglesia del Divino Niño y un espacio comercial bastante concurrido, especialmente los domingos. En el año 2012 se inauguró el portal de Transmilenio cuyos efectos sobre el mercado del suelo no se evidencian todavía. El artículo busca evidenciar las variaciones de los precios del suelo en el barrio Veinte de Julio teniendo en cuenta la distancia entre cada manzana y el portal de Transmilenio, la iglesia del Divino Niño y el Corredor Comercial de la Calle 27 Sur. A partir de un estudio de la información catastral, del análisis de las distancias físicas a los atributos en mención, de la realización de entrevistas y de salidas de trabajo de campo, se concluyó que la proximidad al portal de Transmilenio y a la iglesia tiene un efecto positivo en la variación del precio del suelo. En cambio, la cercanía al mercado ubicado en la Calle 27 Sur presenta efectos negativos en los cambios del precio. The neighborhood Veinte de Julio is an emblematic lieu in Colombian capital because it is a place of pilgrimage to the Divino Niño Church around it exist a local market quite crowded, especially on Sundays. In 2012 was inaugurated Transmilenio terminus whose effects on the land market are not apparent yet. At the same time seeks to explain the changes that may have land prices in neighborhood Veinte de Julio regarding attributes such as distance to the terminus, to the parish of the Divine Child and the proximity to the Commercial Corridor 27th South Street. The exercise showed that the proximity to Transmilenio terminus and the church has a positive effect on the variation in land prices. However, the market proximity located on 27th South Street has negative effects on price changes. The methodology rested on a quantitative exercise across the official information and analysis of the physical distances to the attributes on mention and a qualitative exercise across interviews and fieldwork. O bairro Veinte de Julio é emblemático da capital colombiana, porque é um lugar de peregrinação para a Igreja do Divino Niño e em torno dele há um mercado local muito lotado, especialmente aos domingos. Em 2012 foi inaugurado o portal Transmilenio cujos efeitos sobre o mercado de terras não são ainda evidentes. Ao mesmo tempo, procura explicar as variações que podem ter o preço da terra no bairro Veinte de Julio sobre atributos, tais como a distância até o terminal de Transmilenio, à paróquia do Divino Menino e a proximidade com o Corredor Comercial dela Rua 27 sul. O exercício mostrou que a proximidade com o terminal de Transmilenio e a igreja tem um efeito positivo sobre a variação dos preços da terra. No entanto, a proximidade do mercado localizado na Rua 27 Sul tem efeitos negativos sobre mudanças de preços. A metodologia descansou em um exercício quantitativo através da informação oficial e análise das distâncias físicas para os atributos na menção e um exercício qualitativo através de entrevistas e trabalho de campo.

Abstract

The Department of the Air Force (DAF) has implemented a new acquisition certification framework as part of the Back-to-Basics initiative. This framework aims to enhance the quality of the DAF's acquisition workforce and allow for tailored competencies to support the service's programs. The new framework provides a grace period for current acquisition workforce members to meet certification requirements and resets the time spent on-the-job for certification. The DAF is also reviewing position acquisition coding, and if a position does not retain acquisition coding, certification and professional currency are no longer required.

45. A better fit: industry collaboration with nurse-clinicians in the development and redesign of a pneumatic compression device.

Author

Conway, Deborah, Quatrara, Beth, and Rodriguez, Leslie

Abstract

BACKGROUND: : Intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) devices offer a safe and effective means of thromboprophylaxis but are often uncomfortable, leading to poor compliance. METHODS: : Two multicenter, prospective trials compared traditional IPC sleeves with newly designed IPC sleeves. The primary outcome measure was overall patient acceptance. Secondary measures involved nurses' impressions, patients' experiences, and device safety. RESULTS: : In Trial 1 (n = 110), 87% of patients preferred the new knee-length sleeve compared with the traditional knee-length sleeve. Thigh-length sleeve enrollment was discontinued early (n = 38), because nurses reported that the new sleeve did not remain in place. Following redesign of the thigh-length sleeve, Trial 2 (n = 110) was executed and 82% of patients preferred this sleeve compared with the traditional thigh-length sleeve. Patients' experiences and clinicians' impressions were better with the new sleeves. No device-related adverse events were reported. CONCLUSIONS: : Collaboration with nurses yielded a more comfortable IPC sleeve with properties that should improve compliance and optimize patient outcomes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Customer complaints data are usually expressed as counts for a period of time and are governed by a Poisson process. This process is stationary when the number of complaints is constant, while a change in these numbers would indicate a potential change in the product performance. In this paper we describe an approach for establishing the maximum tolerance level for the number of complaints received within a month. Tolerance level is based on a relatively stable period of time when the Poisson process is stationary. A change-point analysis is performed to the complaints data that exhibit large changes to partition the relatively stable period from the problematic period. Examples that illustrate this approach are provided. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Chikungunya virus (CHIKV), which induces chikungunya fever and chronic arthralgia, is an emerging public health concern. Safe and efficient vaccination strategies are needed to prevent or mitigate virus-associated acute and chronic morbidities for preparation of future outbreaks. Eilat (EILV)/CHIKV, a chimeric alphavirus which contains the structural proteins of CHIKV and the non-structural proteins of EILV, does not replicate in vertebrate cells. The chimeric virus was previously reported to induce protective adaptive immunity in mice. Here, we assessed the capacity of the virus to induce quick and durable protection in cynomolgus macaques. EILV/CHIKV protected macaques from wild-type (WT) CHIKV infection one year after a single dose vaccination. Transcriptome and in vitro functional analyses reveal that the chimeric virus triggered toll-like receptor signaling and T cell, memory B cell and antibody responses in a dose-dependent manner. Notably, EILV/CHIKV preferentially induced more durable, robust, and broader repertoire of CHIKV-specific T cell responses, compared to a live attenuated CHIKV 181/25 vaccine strain. The insect-based chimeric virus did not cause skin hypersensitivity reactions in guinea pigs sensitized to mosquito bites. Furthermore, EILV/CHIKV induced strong neutralization antibodies and protected cynomolgus macaques from WT CHIKV infection within six days post vaccination. Transcriptome analysis also suggest that the chimeric virus induction of multiple innate immune pathways, including Toll-like receptor signaling, type I IFN and IL-12 signaling, antigen presenting cell activation, and NK receptor signaling. Our findings suggest that EILV/CHIKV is a safe, highly efficacious vaccine, and provides both rapid and long-lasting protection in cynomolgus macaques.

Abstract

An attenuated SARS-CoV-2 virus with modified viral transcriptional regulatory sequences and deletion of open-reading frames 3, 6, 7 and 8 (∆3678) was previously reported to protect hamsters from SARS-CoV-2 infection and transmission. Here we report that a single-dose intranasal vaccination of ∆3678 protects K18-hACE2 mice from wild-type or variant SARS-CoV-2 challenge. Compared with wild-type virus infection, the ∆3678 vaccination induces equivalent or higher levels of lung and systemic T cell, B cell, IgA, and IgG responses. The results suggest ∆3678 as an attractive mucosal vaccine candidate to boost pulmonary immunity against SARS-CoV-2.
