The life history of this species,Saurisnr.purpurotincta(Lepidoptera: Geometridae), was examined and larval no-choice and adult multiple-choice host range tests were conducted in quarantine to evaluate their suitability for biological control of Chinese tallowtree. The results indicated that the larvae have five instars and require approximately 22 days to complete development to the adult stage. Host range tests indicated that the larvae could not feed and complete development on most species tested. However, 40% of the larvae survived when fed leaves ofHippomane mancinella, a state-listed endangered species in Florida, and all larvae survived when fedMorella cerifera, a common native species of the southeastern U.S.A. Multiple-choice oviposition tests indicated eggs were laid on leaves of both a south Florida native plantGymnanthes lucidaand Chinese tallowtree. Considering this broad host range, this species will not be considered further for biological control of Chinese tallowtree in the U.S.A.

Analysis of in-depth interviews with consumers reveals that they experience both high and low empowerment from a behavioral, affective, and cognitive perspective. The study also revealed the presence of two paradoxes that influence the level of empowerment. The first is a social judgment paradox whereby a consumer experiences being both social judge and socially judged. The second paradox is an efficiency/inefficiency paradox reflecting the impact of social media on the time and effort required for performing CSR activism. The research findings extend and counter current theoretical thinking and managerial practice related to CSR activism in social media and they provide the basis for a typology of CSR activists in social media that provides directions for future research.

This study proposes a four-step framework for validating such a process: determine standards for qualified applicants, assess inter-reviewer reliability, assess factorial validity, and assess reliability. This framework is applied to the Corporation for National and Community Service's 2013 RSVP grant-making process. The standards were close to the highest points of reliability. Inter-reviewer reliability was above 0.90, a common threshold for high-stakes measurement. After conducting confirmatory factor analysis, the final model merged two of the original five domains of selection criteria, resulting in four domains. The final model was found to have strict measurement invariance, high convergent validity, and measurement reliability between 0.88 and 0.93 for all domains. The results validate the 2013 review process and indicated that the scores exhibited high degrees of reliability, giving public assurance that the process was sufficiently objective and accurately reflected program priorities.

El presente estudio propone un marco de cuatro pasos para validar dicho proceso: determinar normas para los demandantes cualificados, evaluar la fiabilidad entre revisores, evaluar la validez factorial, y evaluar la fiabilidad. Este marco se aplica al proceso de concesión de subvenciones RSVP 2013 de la Corporation for National and Community Services (Corporación para Servicios Comunitarios y Nacionales). Las normas estuvieron muy cerca de los puntos más altos de fiabilidad. La fiabilidad entre revisores estuvo por encima de 0,90, un umbral común para la medición de alta exigencia. Después de realizar el análisis confirmatorio de factores, el modelo final fusionó dos de los cinco campos originales de criterios de selección, dando lugar a cuatro campos. Se encontró que el modelo final tenía una invarianza de medida estricta, una fiabilidad de medición y validez altamente convergentes entre 0,88 y 0,93 para todos los campos.

Diese Studie schlägt ein Vier-Stufen-Rahmenwerk zur Validierung eines solchen Verfahrens vor: das Festlegen von Standards für qualifizierte Bewerber, die Bewertung der Zuverlässigkeit interner Prüfer, die Bewertung der faktoriellen Validität und die Bewertung der Zuverlässigkeit. Dieses Rahmenwerk wird auf das 2013 von der RSVP-Organisation der Corporation for National and Community Service durchgeführte Verfahren zur Vergabe von Fördermitteln angewandt. Die Standards erreichten beinahe die höchsten Messwerte für die Zuverlässigkeit. Die Zuverlässigkeit interner Prüfer lag über 0,90, ein üblicher Grenzwert für höchst relevante Messungen. Nach Durchführung einer konfirmatorischen Faktorenanalyse wurden in dem letztendlichen Modell zwei der ursprünglich fünf Bereiche der Auswahlkriterien zu einem Bereich zusammengefasst, so dass am Ende vier Bereiche vorlagen. Das endgültige Modell wies für alle Bereiche eine strikte Messungsinvarianz, eine höchst konvergente Validität und eine Messzuverlässigkeit zwischen 0,88 und 0,93 auf. Die Ergebnisse validieren das Prüfverfahren von 2013 und zeigen, dass die Werte ein hohes Maß an Zuverlässigkeit darstellen, wodurch öffentlich versichert wird, dass das Verfahren ausreichend objektiv war und die Programmprioritäten korrekt widerspiegelte.

BACKGROUND There is paucity of research to assess the attitudes of nursing students toward LGBT persons. METHOD An electronic search was conducted using PubMed, Medline, Web of Science, EbscoHost, PsycInfo, and the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature using medical subject headings terminologies. Search terms used included gay, lesbian, transgender, bisexual, LGBT, nursing students, baccalaureate nursing, undergraduate nursing, homophobia, homosexuality, sexual minority, attitudes, discrimination, and prejudice. RESULTS Less than 50 percent of the studies (5 out of 12) suggested positively leaning attitudes of nursing students toward LGBT persons; six studies reported negative attitudes, and one study reported neutral attitudes. CONCLUSION There are some indications that student attitudes may be moving toward positively leaning. Studies published before 2000 reported a preponderance of negative attitudes.

Larvae were collected in Brazil feeding on the plant in its native range and colonised in quarantine where life history and host range studies were conducted (27 ± 2°C; 50RH). Development time from neonate to adults when fed Brazilian peppertree leaves was 48.0 (±2.2) days for females and 51.0 (±1.3) days for males. Larvae generally required five (occasionally six) instars to reach the adult stage. Females had greater pupal weights 1004.1 (±45.9) mg compared with males 668.5 (±19.7) mg. Larvae were tested on seven non-target plant species from Florida natives, ornamentals, to economic species. Larvae completed development on all but one of these valued plant species. These results suggest that the host range ofO. vesuliais not sufficiently specific for release as a biological control against Brazilian peppertree in the USA.

JO - Florida Entomologist JF - Florida Entomologist Y1 - 2016/03// VL - 99 IS - 1 M3 - Article SP - 6 EP - 11 SN - 00154040 AB - Brazilian peppertree, Schinus terebinthifolia Raddi (Sapindales: Anacardiaceae), is one of the most invasive weeds in Florida and Hawaii. In the invaded range, this fast-growing weed from South America poses a threat to agriculture and cattle production and decreases the biodiveristy of natural areas. The thrips Pseudophilothrips ichini (Hood) (Thysanoptera: Phlaeothripidae) is being studied as a potential agent for the biological control of this weed. The laboratory life history and native range of P. ichini in Brazil were examined over 10 yr. The thrips life history includes 2 feeding larval stages that occur on the plant and 3 non-feeding pupal stages that occur in the soil. Development time, body length, and distinct features of each life stage are described. The larva-to-adult development required 20 d, and adults lived for an average of 50 d. Pseudophilothrips ichini had a wide latitudinal range in Brazil along the eastern coast from Bahia (11.4°S) south to Santa Catarina State (27.1°S). It was collected from sea level to 1,329 m elevation. Observations in Brazil indicated that this thrips occurs year round and may occasionally reach high densities (>20 thrips/leaf). Despite searches in its native range of related plants, the thrips was found only on Brazilian peppertree. Considering the short generation time, broad environmental tolerance, host specificity, and damage caused to the host if this thrips is released for biological control, it will contribute significantly to the management of Brazilian peppertree.

En las áreas invadidas, esta mala hierba de América del Sur de crecimiento rápido representa una amenaza para la agricultura y la producción de ganado y disminuye la biodiversidad de áreas naturales. Se está estudiando el trips Pseudophilothrips ichini (Hood) (Thysanoptera: Phlaeothripidae) como un agente potencial para el control biológico de esta maleza. Se examinaron por más de 10 años la historia de vida en el laboratorio y la área de distribución natural de P. ichini en Brasil. La historia de vida de los trips incluye 2 estadios de larvas que se alimentan y ocurren sobre las plantas y 3 estadios de pupas que no se alimentan y que ocurren en el suelo. Se describen el tiempo de desarrollo, la longitud del cuerpo y las características distintivas de cada estadio de vida. El desarrollo de larva a adulto requiere 20 dias, y los adultos vivieron por un promedio de 50 dias. Pseudophilothrips ichini tiene un amplio rango latitudinal en Brasil a lo largo de la costa oriental de la Bahía (11.4°S) al sur hasta Santa Catarina (27.1°S). Este fue recolectado desde el nivel del mar hasta 1329 m de altitud. Las observaciones en Brasil indicaron que este trips se presenta por todo el año y en ocasiones puede alcanzar altas densidades (>20 trips/hoja). A pesar de las búsquedas en su área de distribución natural de las plantas relacionadas, los trips se encontraron sólo en el pimentero brasileño. Tomando en cuenta el corto tiempo generacional, amplia tolerancia ambiental, la especificidad del hospedero, y los daños causados al hospedero si este trips se libera para el control biológico, contribuirá significativamente al manejo de pimentero brasileño.

Novel lifestyle activity interventions that can effectively increase physical activity may address disparities in health in these populations. This study evaluates the effects of the Baltimore Experience Corps program, a community-based volunteer program, on walking activity in older adults.Methods: The Baltimore Experience Corps Trial is a sex-stratified RCT that recruited participants from 2006 to 2009. Older adult participants aged ≥60 years (n=123) were from a nested objective physical activity trial within the larger Baltimore Experience Corps Trial. Participants randomized to the intervention group were placed as volunteers within the Baltimore public school system for 2 years. The primary study outcome was objectively measured total amount of walking activity measured in steps/day. Differences between intervention and control groups were measured at 12 and 24 months using linear mixed effects models. Data were analyzed in 2014.Results: At 24 months, women, but not men, in the intervention group showed an increased amount of walking activity, averaging 1,500.3 (95% CI=77.6, 2,922.9) greater steps/day compared with the control group. Women in the control group showed a decline of 1,191.6 (95% CI=-2243.7, -139.5) steps/day at 24 months compared to baseline.Conclusions: A community-based volunteer intervention increased walking activity among older women, who were at elevated risk for both inactivity and adverse health outcomes.Trial Registration: This study is registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov NCT00380562.

AB - Introduction: There is a substantial interest in identifying interventions that can protect and buffer older adults from atrophy in the cortex and particularly, the hippocampus, a region important to memory. We report the 2-year effects of a randomized controlled trial of an intergenerational social health promotion program on older men's and women's brain volumes. Methods: The Brain Health Study simultaneously enrolled, evaluated, and randomized 111 men and women (58 interventions; 53 controls) within the Baltimore Experience Corps Trial to evaluate the intervention impact on biomarkers of brain health at baseline and annual follow-ups during the 2-year trial exposure. Results: Intention-to-treat analyses on cortical and hippocampal volumes for full and sex-stratified samples revealed program-specific increases in volumes that reached significance in men only (P's ≤ .04). Although men in the control arm exhibited age-related declines for 2 years, men in the Experience Corps arm showed a 0.7% to 1.6% increase in brain volumes. Women also exhibited modest intervention-specific gains of 0.3% to 0.54% by the second year of exposure that contrasted with declines of about 1% among women in the control group. Discussion: These findings showed that purposeful activity embedded within a social health promotion program halted and, in men, reversed declines in brain volume in regions vulnerable to dementia.

Using a nationally representative data set of 70,535 unemployed persons across a 10-year period (2002-2012) from the U.S. Current Population Survey, we found that when out of work in Year 1, those who volunteered had a 27% higher likelihood of being employed in Year 2, compared with those who did not volunteer. The relationship between volunteering and employment was strongest for individuals without a high school diploma and persons living in rural areas, where the increased likelihood of being employed in Year 2 for volunteers was 51% and 55%, respectively. We found that the relationship between volunteering and employment is stable across gender, race and ethnic categories, age, time, metropolitan statistical area (MSA), and unemployment rate.

AB - We examined the impact of the Experience Corps® (EC) program on school climate within Baltimore City public elementary schools. In this program, teams of older adult volunteers were placed in high intensity (> 15 h per week), meaningful roles in public elementary schools, to improve the educational outcomes of children as well as the health and well-being of volunteers. During the first year of EC participation, school climate was perceived more favorably among staff and students in EC schools as compared to those in comparison schools. However, with a few notable exceptions, perceived school climate did not differ for staff or students in intervention and comparison schools during the second year of exposure to the EC program. These findings suggest that perceptions of school climate may be altered by introducing a new program into elementary schools; however, research examining how perceptions of school climate are impacted over a longer period is warranted.

AB - Hippocampal atrophy is associated with memory impairment and dementia and serves as a key biomarker in the preclinical stages of Alzheimer's disease. Physical activity, one of the most promising behavioral interventions to prevent or delay cognitive decline, has been shown to be associated with hippocampal volume; specifically increased aerobic activity and fitness may have a positive effect on the size of the hippocampus. The majority of older adults, however, are sedentary and have difficulty initiating and maintaining exercise programs. A modestly more active lifestyle may nonetheless be beneficial. This study explored whether greater objectively measured daily walking activity was associated with larger hippocampal volume. We additionally explored whether greater low‐intensity walking activity, which may be related to leisure‐time physical, functional, and social activities, was associated with larger hippocampal volume independent of exercise and higher‐intensity walking activity. Segmentation of hippocampal volumes was performed using Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the Brain's Software Library (FSL), and daily walking activity was assessed using a step activity monitor on 92, nondemented, older adult participants. After controlling for age, education, body mass index, cardiovascular disease risk factors, and the Mini Mental State Exam, we found that a greater amount, duration, and frequency of total daily walking activity were each associated with larger hippocampal volume among older women, but not among men. These relationships were specific to hippocampal volume, compared with the thalamus, used as a control brain region, and remained significant for low‐intensity walking activity, independent of moderate‐ to vigorous‐intensity activity and self‐reported exercise. This is the first study, to our knowledge, to explore the relationship between objectively measured daily walking activity and hippocampal volume in an older adult population. Findings suggest the importance of examining whether increasing nonexercise, lifestyle physical activities may produce measurable cognitive benefits and affect hippocampal volume through molecular pathways unique to those related to moderate‐intensity exercise.

Those planning to enter this growing industry must comply with strict health and safety codes at the federal, state, and county level. One promising innovation for start-up food businesses is the creation of local shared commercial kitchen facilities, licensed spaces dedicated to the processing and production of food for retail sale. In 2014 University of Wisconsin-Extension - Eau Claire County opened a shared commercial kitchen facility at the Eau Claire County Exposition Center. This guide summarizes important lessons learned in order to facilitate replication by Extension professionals around the country.

A community-academic partnership studied food insecurity through the voices of families struggling to access food and institutions that assist with hunger related problems. Data were collected through focus groups held in urban and rural parts of the county. Participants reported that food insecurity affected all aspects of daily life, increasing stress and reducing coping abilities. Results indicate that when Extension and campus-based staff partner with community groups, they can increase community awareness of and find innovative solutions to pressing community needs, such as food insecurity.

AB - Recommended levels of physical activity may represent challenging targets for many older adults at risk for disability, leading to the importance of evaluating whether low-intensity activity is associated with health benefits. We examined the cross-sectional association between low-intensity walking activity (< 100 steps/min) and health and physical function in a group of older adults. Participants (N = 187; age = 66.8; 91.4% African American; 76.5% female) wore a StepWatch Activity Monitor to measure components of low-intensity walking activity. Only 7% of participants met physical activity guidelines and moderate-intensity activity (≥ 100 steps/min) contributed only 10% of the total steps/day and 2% of the total min/day. Greater amount, frequency, and duration of low-intensity activity were associated with better self-report and performance-based measures of physical function, better quality of life, and fewer depressive symptoms (ps < .05). The cross-sectional relationship between low-intensity activity and health outcomes important to independent function suggests that we further explore the longitudinal benefits of low-intensity activity.

AB - Purpose: Experience Corps Baltimore City (EC) is a product of a partnership between the Greater Homewood Community Corporation (GHCC) and the Johns Hopkins Center on Aging and Health (COAH) that began in 1998. EC recruits volunteers aged 55 and older into high-impact mentoring and tutoring roles in public elementary schools that are designed to also benefit the volunteers. We describe the evolution of the GHCC–COAH partnership through the 'Courtship Model.' Design and Methods: We describe how community-based participatory research principals, such as shared governance, were applied at the following stages: (1) partner selection, (2) getting serious, (3) commitment, and (4) leaving a legacy. Results: EC could not have achieved its current level of success without academic–community partnership. In early stages of the 'Courtship Model,' GHCC and COAH were able to rely on the trust developed between the leadership of the partner organizations. Competing missions from different community and academic funders led to tension in later stages of the 'Courtship Model' and necessitated a formal Memorandum of Understanding between the partners as they embarked on a randomized controlled trial. Implications: The GHCC–COAH partnership demonstrates how academic–community partnerships can serve as an engine for social innovation. The partnership could serve as a model for other communities seeking multiple funding sources to implement similar public health interventions that are based on national service models. Unified funding mechanisms would assist the formation of academic– community partnerships that could support the design, implementation, and the evaluation of community-based public health interventions.

Copyright Statement: Taylor & Francis Group, LLC AB - The current study examined the predictors of gang membership for adolescents in Grades 6 through 12. A secondary data analysis of the School Success Profile was conducted, using a sample of 19,079 students. The predictors across grade levels varied, with the 6th through 8th graders having the most risk factors and the 9th through 12th graders having the fewest risk factors. The majority of the risk factors for the 6th through 8th graders and the 9th through 12th graders were individual-level risk factors. Additionally, some predictors were consistent across grade levels. These predictors were being African American, being male, having a parent or close family member die within the last year, receiving an in-school suspension, having low self-esteem, receiving free lunch, being rejected by one’s peers, perceiving one’s neighborhood as unsafe, and repeating a grade. Implications of these results for developing specific grade-level interventions are discussed. Future research should include other variables identified in the literature besides those examined in this investigation to determine if they are associated with gang membership across grade levels.

As hypothesized, men and women leaders, as well as their supervisors, employees, and peers, perceived women leaders to employ nine of the 10 relational leadership behaviors significantly more frequently than men leaders. Additionally, the employees' perceptions of their women leaders' use of task-oriented behaviors were significantly higher when compared to similar assessments from the employees of men leaders. However, the leaders as well as their supervisors and peers perceived men and women leaders' use of task-oriented behaviors as approximately equal. Broader implications of these findings are discussed.

Prior to randomization, individuals reported participation in several activities of varying cognitive, physical, and social demands.

T1 - In situ estimates of waterhyacinth leaf tissue nitrogen using a SPAD-502 chlorophyll meter JO - Aquatic Botany JF - Aquatic Botany Y1 - 2012/07// VL - 100 M3 - Article SP - 72 EP - 75 SN - 03043770 AB - Abstract: Previous investigations with Eichhornia crassipes and its biological control agents Neochetina bruchi and N. eichhorniae identified leaf tissue nitrogen (N) as a driver in their interactions. However, traditional methods for determining plant tissue N content are cumbersome, time-consuming, and destructive–and thus unsuited for rapid in situ evaluations. We therefore tested the utility of a hand-held chlorophyll meter as a means of producing in situ estimates of N in the leaves of this floating aquatic weed. The Minolta SPAD-502 chlorophyll meter provided excellent estimates (F =385.96, P <0.0001) of leaf tissue N levels. SPAD readings varied within leaves (F =78.66, P <0.0001), so average readings per leaf were used. The relationship between SPAD readings and tissue N levels was affected by the phenological stage of the leaf (F =102.79, P <0.0001), but not leaf size (F =0.75, P =0.3867). The estimates were also unaffected by fertilizer level (F =0.95, P =0.4354), but were marginally affected by herbivory (F =3.86, P =0.0505). Thus, with suitable calibration (e.g., different field sites, presence and type of herbivory) output from the SPAD-502 could be used to provide consistent estimates for the nitrogen content of E. crassipes leaves.

It mentions that use restrictions that limit occupancy of the housing units to low-income families can affect mortgage prepayment and long-term affordability of such properties. It notes that such threat causes rent increases. It also emphasizes that the Californian city is heavily impacted by such threat as about a third of the state's maturing mortgage properties are located in it.

Purpose: To identify strategies to foster a shared vision among those in the media, the public, and policy arenas to help reduce health disparities in the U.S.- Mexico border. Methods: The Healthy Border 2010 research project included qualitative structured face-to-face interviews with ten individuals, each from Las Cruces, NM, El Paso, TX, and Cd. Juarez, Chih, Mexico, for a total of 30 interviewees from the media, the public and policy affiliations. Participants were identified and selected from the population of agenda-setters in the Paso Del Norte region. A snowball sample was used for studying the sometimes "hidden" population of border region agenda-setters. Data-analysis included extraction, coding, and quantifying of common themes from a transcription of interviews. Findings: Most participants (93%) suggested a systems level approach is required. The second most suggested strategy with 63% of participant support was sensitizing border leaders of the reality of issues in the area. Participants (46%) also suggested networking and media advocacy (40%) strategies as more important than the inclusion of priority audience (23%) or the proper allocation of resources (23%). Conclusion: In review of many current border health issues, there are significant gaps where a clear, shared vision is yet to emerge. When a common vision is well developed in a group or population, that is when genuine cooperative actions foster health policy development.

The effects of chronic stress on health have been measured by cortisol levels and variations in their diurnal pattern. However, the patterns of association between SES and cortisol have been equivocal in older adults. This paper examined in 98 older adults participating in the Brain Health Substudy of the Baltimore Experience Corps Trial baseline patterns of diurnal variation in salivary cortisol associated with lower versus higher SES using total income and perceived SES relative to others. For each measure, participants stratified into lower versus higher SES showed a more blunted rate of decline in diurnal salivary cortisol over the day in adjusted models ( P values ≤ 0.05). There were no SES-related differences in awakening cortisol, cortisol-awakening response, or area under the curve. These findings confirm prior evidence of a biologic pathway through which socioeconomic disadvantage is linked to biologic vulnerability, and through which the impact of volunteer service in Experience Corps may be measured.

DESIGN: Observational prospective cohort. SETTING: Nationally representative sample from the Health and Retirement Study in 2000 and 2002 followed to 2006. PARTICIPANTS: Retirees aged 65 and older (N=6,408). MEASUREMENTS: Participants self-reported their volunteering, driving status, age, sex, race or ethnicity, presence of chronic conditions, geriatric syndromes, socioeconomic factors, functional limitations, and psychosocial factors. Death by December 31, 2006, was the outcome. RESULTS: For drivers, mortality in volunteers (9%) and nonvolunteers (12%) was similar; for limited or non-drivers, mortality for volunteers (15%) was markedly lower than for nonvolunteers (32%). Adjusted results showed that, for drivers, the volunteering-mortality odds ratio (OR) was 0.90 (95% confidence interval (CI)=0.66-1.22), whereas for limited or nondrivers, the OR was 0.62 (95% CI=0.49-0.78) (interaction P=.05). The effect of driving status was greater for rural participants, with greater differences between rural drivers and rural limited or nondrivers (interaction P=.02) and between urban drivers and urban limited or nondrivers (interaction P=.81). CONCLUSION: The influence of volunteering in decreasing mortality seems to be stronger in rural retirees who are limited or nondrivers. This may be because rural or nondriving retirees are more likely to be socially isolated and thus receive more benefit from the greater social integration from volunteering.

The analysis compares changes in the attitudes and behaviors of participants over time to those of individuals not enrolled in AmeriCorps, controlling for interest in national and community service, member and family demographics, and prior civic engagement. Results indicate that participation in AmeriCorps led to positive impacts on members, especially in the area of civic engagement, members' connection to community, knowledge about problems facing their community, and participation in community-based activities. AmeriCorps had some positive impacts on its members' employment-related outcomes. Few statistically significant impacts were found for measures of participants' attitude toward education or educational attainment, or for selected life skills measures. Within a subset of community service programs that incorporate a residential component for members, the study also uncovered a short-term negative impact of participation on members' appreciation for ethnic and cultural diversity, which disappeared over time. The implications of these findings for future research on national service are discussed. © 2009 by the Association for Public Policy Analysis and Management.

This chapter uses the library and information science research method of citation analysis, a form of bibliometrics, in order to assess the degree of interdisciplinarity of the service-learning literature as represented in articles in the Michigan Journal of Community Service Learning (MJCSL), in the Advances in Service-Learning Research (ASLR) series, and in masters theses and dissertations on service-learning and related topics published between 2004-2006. The results show a wide range of disciplinarity both in the departmental affiliation of service-learning scholars and in the research from which they draw.

AB - Purpose: The treatment a patient receives is greatly affected by what he or she chooses to disclose to a physician. This qualitative study investigated such factors as culture and background that contribute to Latina patients' nondisclosure of medical information. Methods: Participants were 28 Latina women living in Brooklyn. In-depth interviews in English or Spanish were conducted and documented by extensive notes. We used a grounded theory approach to find emerging themes, which were coded using a continuous iterative process. Results: Six primary themes emerged: the physician-patient relationship, language, physician sex and age, time constraints, sensitive health issues, and culture and birthplace. Such qualities as compassion, caring, human interest, and kindness were important to many Latinas, who did not feel safe sharing information if these qualities were absent. Language barriers caused problems with physician-patient interaction, which were complicated by the presence of a translator. Physicians being male or younger could make disclosure difficult, especially around issues of sexuality and genital examination. Time constraints and cultural differences sometimes resulted in physicians' lack of awareness of sensitive areas that patients did not wish to discuss, such as sexuality, family planning, domestic abuse, and use of recreational drugs. Birthplace (foreign born vs US born) played a role in how the women perceived barriers to disclosure. Conclusions: Staff training in techniques for building rapport can foster better communication, increase empathy and compassion, and lead to the establishment of trusting relationships in which disclosure is more likely.

During switchover from the low-speed winding to the high-speed winding, and vice versa, lasting less than a few milliseconds, small electrical torque and speed transients occur. Relying on closed-loop speed control, a smooth speed response is measured. This concept is, therefore, applicable to variable-speed drives, where a large speed range is desirable. Test data indicate that a speed-control range from 600 to 4000 r/min is obtainable with a single-phase induction motor.

AB - This chapter will provide the reader with a brief overview of American Indian history, demographics, and culture. The material should be useful for disaster responders and mental health professionals working with American Indians, particularly within the context of traumatic events. We begin by providing a brief synopsis of the consequences of American Indian contact with European people, examining current population statistics against this historical backdrop. We then guide the reader through an exploration of American Indian cultural values, traditions, and communication styles. Finally, we discuss the relevance of culture within the context of service provision and offer suggestions for working with the American Indian population in the aftermath of disasters or trauma. In spite of the enormous variations in American Indian tribes and their respective cultures, the chapter authors provide a careful and informative discussion of material for consideration in disasters.

Biological control efforts have resulted in the release of three Australian insect species. Not all populations of the plant, however, are equally nutritious to the biological control agents. For example, previous results indicated that Oxyops vitiosa had reduced biomass and fecundity when fed different M. quinquenervia chemical variants. To find suitable sites for release of this herbivore species and locations where nursery sites can be developed for mass production of weevils, we studied the natural terpenoid variation in this plant throughout its range in Florida. For comparison, we also examined the terpenoid variation in naturalized populations in the Caribbean, Hawaii, and Australia. We found that two chemical variants or chemotypes exist in Florida, each dominated by one sesquiterpene, either E-nerolidol or viridiflorol. In the 28 populations studied in Florida no regional trends in chemotype dominance were found. More than half (16 of 28) of the populations were composed of between 34 and 66% of both chemotypes. A similar number of populations were dominated (>66%) by either the E-nerolidol (eight populations) or the viridiflorol (six populations) chemotype plants. Additionally, the total amount of terpenoids in leaves from plants grown north of the invasive range of M. quinquenervia was significantly reduced compared with invasive populations. The total amount of terpenoids in leaves from plants grown in Australia and the Caribbean was significantly greater than those in leaves from Florida and Hawaii. These results identified eight populations that would be most suitable for initial releases and where field nurseries could be established for on-site mass production.

SN - 15338916 AB - During the past several decades, child poverty rates have been higher in rural than in urban areas, and now 2.5 million children live in deep poverty in rural America. Studies indicate that poor children are most affected by the typical “summer slide.” Summer programming has the ability to address the issues of academic loss, nutritional loss, and the lack of safe and constructive enrichment activities. However, poor rural communities face three major challenges in implementing summer programming: community resources, human capital, and accessibility. The success of Energy Express, a statewide award-winning six-week summer reading and nutrition program in West Virginia, documents strategies for overcoming the challenges faced by poor, rural communities in providing summer programs. Energy Express (1) uses community collaboration to augment resources and develop community ownership, (2) builds human capital and reverses the acknowledged brain drain by engaging college students and community volunteers in meaningful service, and (3) increases accessibility through creative transportation strategies. West Virginia University Extension Service, the outreach arm of the land-grant institution, partners with AmeriCorps, a national service program, and various state and local agencies and organizations to implement a program that produces robust results.

AB - The Idaho Community HealthCorps Program (ICHC) is an AmeriCorps program housed at the Idaho State University Institute of Rural Health (ISUIRH) and funded by the National Association of Community Health Centers, Inc. (NACHC). ICHC members work out of Community Health Centers and other approved sites to provide outreach to families and individuals, assist with advocacy needs, provide health education, and serve as a link between the community and the health center. Major goals of the ICHC include fostering community education and organizing health workshops, training, and other community outreach. The ICHC is involved in several service projects of need in the community; two of those are represented in this photo essay (Habitat for Humanity and My Brothers Table).

N2 - Examined the volunteering habits of baby boomers and compared them with the volunteering experiences of pre-boomers. Analysis is based on data from the Current Population Survey's volunteer supplements for 1974, 1989, 2002, and 2006, focusing on members of the Baby Boom Generation (born 1946-1964), Silent Generation (born 1931-1945), and Greatest or World War II Generation (born 1910-1930). It was found that baby boomers in their late 40s to mid-50s have higher volunteer rates than past generations had at the same ages. Holding age constant, boomers appear to have different volunteer interests than past generations. Each year, approximately 3 out of every 10 boomer volunteers dropped out of volunteering. Volunteers with the highest attachment to volunteering also had the highest retention rates. Volunteer retention was related to the type and nature of volunteer activity. For those volunteers who performed only one activity for their main volunteer organization, volunteer retention rates were highest for boomers whose volunteer activities were professional and managerial, engaging in music or some other type of performance, and tutoring, mentoring, and coaching.

Corporate Author: Corporation for National and Community Service. Target Audience: Research. N2 - Examined how volunteering differed by age group for the period 1974-2005 in the United States. Data collected in 1974, 1989, and 2002-2005 by the Current Population Survey (CPS) were analyzed for persons aged 16-19, 20-24, 25-34, 35-44, 45-54, 55-64, and 65 and over. The following are key findings. In 2005, the adult volunteering rate had increased by more than 32% from 1989. The growth in volunteering was driven primarily by 3 age groups: older teenagers (aged 16-19), midlife adults (aged 45-64), and older adults (aged 65 and older). The proportion of Americans volunteering through a religious organization decreased slightly between 1989 (37.4%) and 2005 (35.5%). Meanwhile, the proportion of volunteers serving through civic, political, professional, and international organizations dropped substantially between 1989 (13.2%) and 2005 (6.8%). In 2005, baby boomers (aged 45-64) created the highest midlife volunteer rate in 30 years. Volunteering among older adults (aged 65 and older) increased 64% since 1974. Older adults were the most likely group to serve 100 or more hours a year. The nature of volunteering has changed somewhat since 1989, when 40.1% of volunteers served 100 or more hours in a year, compared with 29% serving 100 or more hours in 1974 and 34.9% in 2005.

If compatible, the combination of fire and biological control has the potential of effectively controlling invasive weeds. Potentially plants subjected to previous herbivory from biological control agents or damage from fire, either natural or deliberate, will be less susceptible to biological control because of decreases in the nutritional quality of the plant from changes in physical defenses and/or accumulated secondary compounds. In the fire-adapted species, Melaleuca quinquenervia, the impact of previous herbivory by the weevil biological control agent Oxyops vitiosa and burning by a propane torch was studied on the first replacement leaves produced following damage. Two chemical variants or chemotypes of M. quinquenervia responded similarly with decreased leaf toughness in leaves produced following burning; little change was found in the levels of foliar nitrogen or volatile constituents in response to treatments. Moreover, survival decreased when the burn replacement leaves were fed to O. vitiosa larvae and Boreioglycaspis melaleucae psyllid nymphs; growth and development time were not affected. These results indicate that although survival will decrease in both species fed the first replacement leaves following burning, previous herbivory by weevils is compatible with subsequent damage by both biological control agents.

The study methodology included several steps. We conducted a literature review to understand the demographic patterns projected for the future. After reviewing reports and publications, we spoke with people directly involved in the work of the Senior Corps programs and with others active in research or practice in the field of volunteering to determine current strengths and limitations of the programs and prospects for the future. Telephone interviews were conducted with national experts, directors of national voluntary organizations, project directors of Foster Grandparent Programs, Senior Companion Programs and RSVP, and with Corporation State Directors. We held several focus group discussions with project directors in the Southwest cluster, North Central cluster, and the Atlantic cluster of the United States during their 2001 conferences. The chapter discusses the Senior Corps programs in the context of volunteering. Specifically, strengths of the programs are summarized and limitations to National Senior Corps growth are examined. The chapter concludes with a discussion of the National Senior Service.

Service learning resides at the crossroads of youth development and community improvement as it focuses equally on student growth and community problem solving. It steers real-world education toward projects that promote the public good. Service learning, as a teaching strategy, motivates students by taking them beyond the classroom to address community problems that they care about. It is particularly useful for career and technical education teachers, who are already using real-world experience to enliven coursework.

AB - Those who have never experienced an abusive or violent relationship often believe that upon finding a way out, victims' difficulties are solved: their life is good, they are safe, and recovery will be swift. However, survivors know that leaving is not the end of the nightmare--it is the beginning of an often difficult and challenging journey toward healing and happiness. It's My Life Now offers readers the practical guidance, emotional reassurance, and psychological awareness that survivors of relationship abuse and domestic violence need to heal and reclaim their lives after leaving their abusers. Since its publication in 2000, It's My Life Now has been highly successful as a working manual for survivors who are starting their lives over after an abusive relationship. This valuable book combines direction on practical and emotional issues with worksheets and self-exploration exercises. Now, in the second edition, Dugan and Hock include updated information and resources while encompassing a wider range of individuals and the relationships in which abuse and violence occur. The new edition also provides a new emphasis on safety assessment, which has increasingly been shown to be a critical factor in recovery. In addition, this new edition includes current resources and information about organizations for victims along with revised and enhanced strategies to help survivors move forward on the path of recovery.

AB - Federal Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) have a long history of intervention in emergency situations, and their role has expanded since September 11, 2001. There is considerable evidence on the importance of organizational factors such as social support in protecting disaster victims from the psychological effects of trauma. The authors recommend that EAPs become integrally involved in organizations' emergency planning processes, so that such supports can be built into all aspects of plans. EA professionals should function as organizational consultants, not simply as helpers who will eventually care for those affected. Two federally based case studies provide examples of EA professionals who have successfully used such an approach in their respective organizations.

It addresses three basic research questions: 1) How did ECI become so successful so fast? 2) What caused ECI's financial collapse? and 3) What are the implications of the ECI failure for municipal, state and federal governments who have grown increasingly dependent on community-based organizations to deliver basic human services, while fostering economic and community development? Answers to these questions have important implications for non-profit CDCs, governments and philanthropic organizations that fund CDCs, and researchers in public and nonprofit finance and management.

SN - 01472011 AB - The article discusses U.S. President George W. Bush's civic agenda and national service. This administration believes that a modest investment in the programs administered by the Corporation for National and Community Service--Senior Corps, AmeriCorps, and Learn and Serve America--will be an effective way of building the strength of the nonprofit sector. But while instilling such civic virtues is a proper aim of government, this administration believes that federal service programs must do more: they must be designed specifically to buttress, rather than supplant, the work of the nation's civic organizations, to promote civic engagement among all Americans, and to use federal dollars in the most cost-effective manner possible.

Profiles the Senior Corps program and describes its current infrastructure and recruitment efforts. Argues that a new approach will be required to increase baby boomer participation in community service, and that Senior Corps needs to revise its marketing techniques, use tangible and intangible incentives to attract volunteers, and provide appropriate volunteer opportunities. Provides one-page profiles of volunteer programs that have successfully reached out to baby boomers, including Elderhostel, the Master Internet Volunteer program, the Community Barter Network, and the Senior Attorney Volunteers for Discipline program. Includes a focus group discussion guide and a bibliography.

Issue Publication Date: Nov, 2000. AB - Examined the susceptibility of early instars, larvae, prepupae, and pupae of the weevil Oxyops vitiosa to predation by red fire ants. Behavior was recorded as collected red fire ants were exposed to a O. vitiosa larva, which has a viscous coating, and the larva of the weevil Neochetina eichhorniae, which has no such coating. Results show that ant workers contacted and behaved aggressively towards O. vitiosa early instars, late instars, and prepupae less frequently than larvae of Neochetina eichhorniae. However, ants contacted, attacked, and consumed noncoated O. vitiosa pupae and Neochetina eichhorniae pupae with equal frequency. Encoated pupae buried in sand were not attacked compared to susceptible encoated pupae on the sand surface. Findings suggest that by shifting from a chemical defense during the larval stages to a physical defense during the pupal stage, O. vitiosa reduces the risk of attack by ants.

AB - Lack of effective leadership leads to a world filled with 'haves' and 'have nots'. We always feel some uneasiness when interacting with someone whose background differs from our own. The fact is that the injustice of prejudicial acts toward those different from ourselves hurts everyone. Leaders cannot afford to be complacent. Until we get out of our comfortable 'shells' and explore the diversity in our surroundings, little will change in the world and social injustice will live and flourish in the workplace. We must drive out fear. The more we can dialogue with diverse groups the better off we will be. It is fear that keeps us apart. Rather than live 'in fear' of someone different from us or a group from another culture, seek to learn though communication about the person or group.

Subject Subsets: Tropical Diseases; Rural Development N2 - Public health studies thus far have not identified methods toward developing a shared vision to reduce health disparities in a unique area such as the U.S./Mexico border region. Purpose: To identify strategies to foster a shared vision among those in the media, the public, and policy arenas to help reduce health disparities in the U.S.-Mexico border. Methods: The Healthy Border 2010 research project included qualitative structured face-to-face interviews with ten individuals, each from Las Cruces, NM, El Paso, TX, and Cd. Juarez, Chih, Mexico, for a total of 30 interviewees from the media, the public and policy affiliations. Participants were identified and selected from the population of agenda-setters in the Paso Del Norte region. A snowball sample was used for studying the sometimes "hidden" population of border region agenda-setters. Data-analysis included extraction, coding, and quantifying of common themes from a transcription of interviews. Findings: Most participants (93%) suggested a systems level approach is required. The second most suggested strategy with 63% of participant support was sensitizing border leaders of the reality of issues in the area. Participants (46%) also suggested networking and media advocacy (40%) strategies as more important than the inclusion of priority audience (23%) or the proper allocation of resources (23%). Conclusion: In review of many current border health issues, there are significant gaps where a clear, shared vision is yet to emerge. When a common vision is well developed in a group or population, that is when genuine cooperative actions foster health policy development.
