Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing Distinguishes between Post-Covid-19 as a Dysfunctional Syndrome and Organ Pathologies
(1) Background: Dyspnea is one of the most frequent symptoms among post-COVID-19 patients. Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) is key to a differential diagnosis of dyspnea. This study aimed to describe and classify patterns of cardiopulmonary dysfunction in post-COVID-19 patients, using CPET. (2) Methods: A total of 143 symptomatic post-COVID-19 patients were included in the study. All patients underwent CPET, including oxygen consumption, s…
Wanna still nine hard?’: Exploring Mechanisms of Police Bias in the Translation and Interpretation of Wiretap Conversations
Wiretaps permit police to intercept telephone conversations among targets of investigation, some of which are judged to be incriminating by those listening to the real-time conversations. How is the information intercepted from wiretaps interpreted, understood, and used? What is required to transform raw communications intercepts into evidence of probable cause? Forensic linguists have studied transcripts of intercepted conversations, focusing on…

Cybercrime
Cybercrime refers to the commission of criminal acts that target computers, use computers as an instrumentality to traditional crimes, or transmit illegal information using computer networks. One continuing form of cybercrime targets computers. So‐called hackers and crackers, through various means, gain access to closed computer networks in order to vandalize or otherwise damage databases or network software by introducing computer viruses or “de…
Incidents of Terrorism in the United States, 1997-2005
The geography of terrorism remains underexplored. By focusing on the spatial patterns of terrorist attacks, the settings and land uses in which attacks occur, and the methods used to perpetrate violence, this analysis helps build a theory of terrorism geography. Between 1 January 1997 and 11 September 2005, 178 terrorist incidents occurred in the United States. Analysis of these incidents suggests three insights. At the national scale, terrorism …

Training police: A case study of differential impacts of problem-oriented policing training
This paper presents the findings of a case study of the immediate impact of problem-oriented policing (POP) training on lower- and higher-ranking officers of a state police agency in the USA. Findings indicate that there was relatively little immediate impact of training although the measurable impact was in the positive direction - a movement away from traditional attitudes towards a model favoring community involvement and the partnership tacti…
Public Infrastructure, Private Built Investment, and Local Planning Capacity: An Examination of Linkages in the Central Indiana Region, 1990-2000
Public works managers and planners are key players in the game of built investment in metropolitan regions. Public investments governed by transportation, water, wastewater, parks, and other public administrators join the private investment streams managed by private sector business organizations to create the urban and regional built environment. Therefore, the capacity of local public works officials to engage in planning street, water, and oth…

Cities, Space, and the New World of Urban Law Enforcement Technologies
Advanced technologies developed for use within military and defense applications are becoming commonplace within urban police departments. Technologies like photonics, thermal imaging, facial and behavioral recognition systems, remote monitoring by satellite, DNA testing, and retinal scans have found their place among the traditional crime-fighting weapons in police agencies. These technologies are being diffused among cities, aided by organizati…

Police technology in cities: Changes and challenges
Police Information Technology: Assessing the Effects of Computerization on Urban Police Functions
Municipal police agencies are major users of information technology, and much remains to be learned about the effects of computerization on police operations. This article examines computerization in 188 municipal police agencies in 1993 in cities with populations of 100,000 or more. Relationships among computer hardware, police‐file computerization, and police functions are examined. Cities are categorized as low, medium, and high levels of comp…
The Intrametropolitan Distribution of Computer Services Employment, 1982 and 1993
This paper examines how computer services (CS) employment is spatially distributed among United States metropolitan counties in 174 metropolitan statistical areas in 1982 and 1993. The analysis assesses whether multiple counties within major MSAs have significant portions of a region's CS employment, and examines the stability of CS employment as a proportion of core and noncore county employment. CS employment is concentrated in core counties, a…

Pricing the Use of Public Rights-of-Way
The public rights-of-way (ROW) managed by local governments have been a source of perennial conflict between municipalities, utilities, and other private companies that require access to ROWin order to distribute their services. In recent years, advances in telecommunications technology and new federal legislative initiatives have combined to create much greater demands for public ROWoccupancy and simultaneously limit the authority of local gover…
Public Rights-Of-Way, Public Management, and the New Urban Telecommunications Infrastructure
Public right-of-way (PROW) is prime real estate for the telecommunications industry. Cable television and wired and wireless networks are the latest to seek PROW, and conflicts occur among local governments, utility systems, telecommunications providers, and the federal government. Should local governments profit from ownership of PROW or should utility and telecommunications interests be permitted to capture the profit generated from establishin…
The Future of the Future in Planning: Appropriating Cyberpunk Visions of the City
Planning's vision of life in the 21st century tends to be more-of-the-same or the adoption, often implicit, of a market-based information society in which telecommunications advances will restructure time and space in ways that are beneficial in the long run. The future of the future, however, deserves more attention in urban planning. Utopian constructs have largely been abandoned and traditional methods of projection and modeling are poor techn…
Webbed” cities and development of the national information highway: The creation of world wide web sites by U.S. city governments
Special Districts, City Governments, and Infrastructure Spending in 105 Us Metropolitan Areas
Special district structure in US metropolitan areas has not been analyzed, although studies document the growth of special districts and their impact on the coordination and planning activities of local governments. Few estimates have been made of public capital spending in metropolitan areas and none that classify spending by cities and special districts. Thus, there has been no comparison of how metropolitan areas differ in their reliance on sp…
Sports Wars: Suburbs and Center Cities in a Zero-Sum Game
Sports teams are integral to the battle between cities for image and economic development. Although interregional moves of teams receive more publicity, intraregional battles between center cities and their suburbs are common. The benefits created by teams affect all cities in a region. As such, providing incentives to encourage moves within a region will result in increased profits for teams and higher salaries for players. Further, if teams do …
Privatization, Participation, and the Planning Process: A Case Study of Wastewater Treatment Infrastructure
Two broad models of planning inform public administrators and planners. One is a public management model in which involvement in decision making is on a “need-to-know ” basis, and public participation and input are viewed as forces to be overcome. It echoes the private sector practice of flexible specialization in that it relies on quick decision making and noninclusive planning to reduce intraorganizational conflict. The other is a participatory…
Urban Infrastructure Policies and Capital Spending in City Manager and Strong Mayor Cities
This paper analyzes the standard infrastructure policies of seven Texas city manager cities and seven Indiana strong mayor cities to (1) determine whether different levels of formality are associated with the policies; (2) assess differences in financial participation required of private developers and city governments; and (3) determine whether the resulting capital expenditure patterns of the cities vary. I use qualitative analysis, analysis of…

Regulating Local Tax Abatement Policies: Arguments and Alternative Policies For Urban Planners and Administrators
This article addresses several questions about property tax. abatements in the United States, all directed at why tax abatements should be regulated more closely, and one question about how this might be accomplished. First, are tax abatements “job increment financing” since they are exchanged for future jobs? Public decisionmakers assume that jobs mean tax revenues, but problems emerge when abatements are granted without knowledge of expected jo…

Budgeting for Public Capital: Reinterpreting Traditional Views of Urban Infrastructure Provision
City governments provide much of the economic and social capital comprising urban infrastructure. A prevailing idea is that public managers should and can budget rationally and systematically for the provision of infrastructure. This view frequently neglects consideration of the reactive, ad hoc nature of infrastructure investment in cities. Common approaches to the notion of rational capital budgeting are discussed and a reinterpretation of how …

Estimating the Costs of Public/Private Infrastructure Deals in Municipal Government
City governments in the U.S. enter into agreements with private developers to provide infrastructure such as roads, drainage systems, and utilities. From a normative perspective, public managers should calculate the costs to city government to execute these public/private deals before they agree to participate. Four cost categories deserve attention: (1) initial expenses required for project approval by city officials (approval spending); (2) spe…
