Integrated evolutionary optimisation framework for explicit configuration of detention ponds in urban flood risk management
Semi-distributed hydrodynamic models combined with optimisation methods are often proposed for cost-effective pond designs, but typically oversimplify pond representation, neglecting complex urban catchment dynamics. This study addresses these limitations by introducing an integrated optimisation framework that couples a fully distributed hydrodynamic flood model with a Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm (NSGA-II). The fully distributed appr…
Evaluation of a Pilot Program to Increase Mental Health Care Access for Youth—The Interprofessional Child-Centered Integrated Care (ICX2) Model
Integrated care programs like ICX2 can be feasibly implemented through PMHCA programs and may be an efficient intervention to bridge resource gaps
Towards urban place-based resilience modeling: Mixed methods for a flood resilience assessment index
Large-scale socioeconomic vulnerability models commonly used in flood hazard assessments grapple with data limitations and struggle to fully capture diversity in vulnerability and resilience stemming from America’s sociopolitical history. In response, we developed a prototype for a place-based Flood Resilience Assessment Index (FRAI) using tract-level geographies that illustrates human-centric frameworks for quantifying flood resilience in the U.…
Crafting Democratic Futures: Understanding Political Conditions and Racialized Attitudes Toward Black Reparations
As a growing number of states and municipalities consider reparative policies for Black Americans, it is important to understand what shapes support for and opposition to these policies. We explore the role that awareness of racial inequality plays in shaping attitudes. Drawing on data from a large, representative survey in Detroit and one national survey, we find that awareness of racial inequality plays a powerful role in the likelihood of supp…
African Americans and the Multiple Meanings of Debt in the United States Since the Civil War
It is hard to review African American history without confronting the multiple meanings of debt. There was debt owed, debt paid, debt inherited, and debt hidden in the social tax associated with a subordinate status in the United States. All of these meanings are embedded in the murder of Elmore Bolling. Called Buddy by his relatives, Bolling defied probability by building a highly successful business in Lowndesboro, Alabama, in the 1930s and 194…
Health Care Utilization among Homeless-Experienced Adults Who Were Seen by a Mobile Addiction Health Clinic in Boston, Massachusetts: A Quasi-Experimental Study
Background: Mobile health clinics improve access to care for marginalized individuals who are disengaged from the healthcare system. This study evaluated the association between a mobile addiction health clinic and health care utilization among people experiencing homelessness. Methods: Using Medicaid claims data, we evaluated adults who were seen by a mobile addiction health clinic in Boston, Massachusetts from 1/16/18–1/15/19 relative to a prop…
The Use of Structured, Active, In-Person Learning to Connect Didactic Content with Clinical Scenarios in a Senior Level Nursing Leadership Course
Background: The senior leadership course at the University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing includes both didactic and clinical components. The didactic portion delves into leadership topics and during clinical rotations the students witness nurses and patients navigate through complicated and emotional patient care experiences. Method: Structured, active, in-class learning (SAIL) activities in a classroom were used to connect didactic content w…
The evolution of race and place in geographies of risk and resilience
Progress in Environmental Geography advances equity and justice at the intersections of people and place. Natural disasters represent a granular lens into this space and highlight opportunities to incorporate social landscapes with their physical geographies toward sustained systemic progress. More specifically, disproportionate geographies of flood risk and resilience exemplify cyclical power dynamics, exploitation, and oppression that have shap…
Breast Milk Feeding of Infants at Birth Among People With Confirmed Sars-CoV-2 Infection in Pregnancy: SET-NET, 5 States, March 29, 2020–December 31, 2020
Objectives. To describe prevalence of breast milk feeding among people with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection during pregnancy and examine associations between breast milk feeding, timing of maternal infection before delivery, and rooming-in status during delivery hospitalization. Methods. We performed a retrospective cohort study using data from Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nebraska, Pennsylvania, and Tennessee …
Considerations for planning Covid-19 treatment services in humanitarian responses
The COVID-19 pandemic has the potential to cause high morbidity and mortality in crisis-affected populations. Delivering COVID-19 treatment services in crisis settings will likely entail complex trade-offs between offering services of clinical benefit and minimising risks of nosocomial infection, while allocating resources appropriately and safeguarding other essential services. This paper outlines considerations for humanitarian actors planning …
On the use of indices to study extreme precipitation on sub-daily and daily timescales
While there are obstacles to the exchange of long-term high temporal resolution precipitation data, there have been fewer barriers to the exchange of so-called 'indices'. These are derived from daily and sub-daily data and measure aspects of precipitation frequency, duration and intensity that could be used for the study of extremes. This paper outlines the history of the rationale and use of these indices, the types of indices that are frequentl…
Does repetitive negative thinking affect attention? Differential effects of worry and rumination on attention to emotional stimuli
Worry and rumination, two cardinal responses to emotional events, are key for maintaining negative emotion and have been implicated in the etiology and maintenance of anxiety and depressive disorders. Though worry and rumination are highly correlated with one another and people who engage in one often engage in both, they may differentially affect emotion. Specifically, previous work suggests that worry helps people avoid (intense) emotion, while…
Toward a 2.0 Compact for the Liberal Arts
New demands on learning coupled with new concerns about a changing world have resulted in a new focus on what constitutes a durable learning experience in a liberal arts setting. While the noise of a crisis in the liberal arts can be distracting at times, what we learn is that different types of schools continue to answer the question of why the liberal arts remain an effective educational option. This essay argues that they are only beginning to…

Mellon Foundation, I have marveled at the grace, support, encouragement, and colleagueship I have encountered. Along the way I found friends and mentors, coauthors and collabo…
Future heat-waves, droughts and floods in 571 European cities
Cities are particularly vulnerable to climate risks due to their agglomeration of people, buildings and infrastructure. Differences in methodology, hazards considered, and climate models used limit the utility and comparability of climate studies on individual cities. Here we assess, for the first time, future changes in flood, heat-waves (HW), and drought impacts for all 571 European cities in the Urban Audit database using a consistent approach…

Race, Power, Multipositionality: The Instance of Black Schoolteachers
To understand the relationship between social position and social change, this essay examines the multipositionality of the black schoolteacher, and through it the relationship between race and power. The autobiographical writings of black teachers who worked in the American South between 1890 and 1950 uniquely reveal the complex relationship between power and culture in this phase of American history, and illustrate the ways in which subordinate…

Pullman Porters and the Rise of Protest Politics in Black America, 1925-1945
The role of African Americans in the design of their own lives has been a constant theme in African American history over the last twenty-five years. Authors in this tradition have attempted to show how people worked to manufacture full lives despite restrictions of race, status, gender, and class. This approach has dwelled on success and failure, individual and collective. Every so often a book in this tradition appears that covers a familiar st…
Love on Trial: An American Scandal in Black and White
When Alice Jones, a former nanny, married Leonard Rhinelander in 1924, she became the first black woman to be listed in the Social Register as a member of one of New York's wealthiest families. Once news of the marriage became public, a scandal of race, class, and sex gripped the nation-and forced the couple into an annulment trial.

A Modern Cinderella: Race, Sexuality, and Social Class in the Rhinelander Case
On November 13, 1924, the first public announcements of white scion Leonard Kip Rhinelander's secret marriage to a working-class “colored” woman, Alice Jones, exploded across the front pages of New York newspapers. Although Rhinelander, a wealthy white socialite, ignored family orders and stayed with his wife through the first week or so of the scandal, few were surprised when he ultimately left her and filed an annulment suit. While New York did…

Afro-American Adaptive Strategies: The Visiting Habits of Kith and Kin Among Black Norfolkians During the First Great Migration
This article contends that contrary to what was thought at the time, the migration of large numbers of Afro-Americans to urban areas during the First Great Migration (1900- 192 0) failed in many instances to cause the severing of affective bonds of kinship and friendship. Instead, blacks devised a number of adaptive strategies that enabled them to maintain contact with those deemed important. The present findings also reveal the complex nature of…

African American Urban History: Framing a New Perspective
Until the mid-1960s, slavery, emancipation, and black life in the rural South dominated scholarship on the African American experience. A small coterie of black scholars and their white allies combated the prevailing stereotype that blacks had little or no history worthy of recording or recalling. They argued that the black experience was an integral part of the American experience and thus deserved treatment as part of the larger fabric of Ameri…
