Moundridge (Kansas) Schweitzer German
Moundridge Schweitzer German (MSG) is a strictly oral moribund heritage variety of German spoken in and around Moundridge, Kansas, approximately 30 miles northeast of Wichita.They are a community of Mennonites whose dialect most closely resembles Eastern Palatinate.Today, there are estimated to be fewer than three dozen speakers remaining, all over the age of 65.The speakers are approximately the third or fourth generation of MSG speakers in the …
The 2025 Los Angeles Wildfires and Outpatient Acute Health Care Utilization
This cohort study observed substantial increases in acute health care utilization, especially virtual care-seeking following the LA fires. As disruptive climate events increase, such data are essential to inform health care preparedness and response
Konzern und Organschaft in der Insolvenz: Zu den Auswirkungen der Insolvenz auf den Fortbestand von Aktienkonzern und Organschaft
Die Auswirkungen der Insolvenz konzernverbundener Unternehmen auf das zugrundeliegende Konzernverhältnis und auf eine etwaige steuerliche Organschaft sind bis auf den heutigen Tag ungeklärt. Zur Lösung dieses Problems verfolgt Lara Schwarz einen rechtsgebietsübergreifenden Ansatz, der das Konzern-, Steuer- und Insolvenzrecht miteinander harmonisiert. Lara Schwarz zeigt auf, dass die bislang angestellten Überlegungen in der rechtsgebietsübergreife…
Impacts of Extreme Weather Events on Education Outcomes: A Review of Evidence
Extreme weather events are increasingly disrupting schooling. Yet, these are underrepresented in the climate change literature. Of 15 review articles on the economic impacts of climate change published since 2010, only three mention the impacts of climate change on education. We review available literature on the effects of weather extremes on education. We outline key pathways through which these events impact education outcomes, as well as the …
The role of the California tier system in controlling population mobility during the Covid-19 pandemic
This analysis provides evidence of the effectiveness of the tier-based system in decreasing overall population mobility to ultimately reduce COVID-19 transmission. Results demonstrate that socio-political demographic indicators drive important variability in such patterns across counties
Heat Waves and Emergency Department Visits Among the Homeless, San Diego, 2012–2019
Objectives. To determine the effect of heat waves on emergency department (ED) visits for individuals experiencing homelessness and explore vulnerability factors. Methods. We used a unique highly detailed data set on sociodemographics of ED visits in San Diego, California, 2012 to 2019. We applied a time-stratified case–crossover design to study the association between various heat wave definitions and ED visits. We compared associations with a s…
Ecosyndemics: The potential synergistic health impacts of highways and dams in the Amazon
Morphological generalization in heritage speakers: The Turkish aorist
Heritage speakers (HS) have been shown to experience difficulties with inflectional morphology (particularly with irregular morphology) and to frequently overapply regular morphology. The present study seeks to get further insight into the inflectional processes of HS by investigating how these are generalized to nonce words in language production, the first study of this kind for heritage Turkish. We specifically examined morphological generaliz…
Examining the joint effects of heatwaves, air pollution, and green space on the risk of preterm birth in California
This study found synergistic harmful effects for heatwaves with air pollution, and potential positive interactions with lack of green space on PTB. Implementing interventions, such as heat warning systems and behavioral changes, targeted toward pregnant women at risk for high air pollution and low green space exposures may optimize the benefits of reducing acute exposure to extreme heat before delivery
Nonconvergence and Divergence in Bilingual Phonological and Phonetic Systems: Low Back Vowels in Moundridge Schweitzer German and English
This study explores the bilingual phonology of two heritage speakers of Moundridge Schweitzer German ( msg ) from Moundridge, Kansas. The speakers are descendants of Mennonite speakers of German who settled in the area around Moundridge, Kansas, in the 1870s. The production of Moundridge Schweitzer German /a/ and /ɔ/ and American English /a/ and /ɔ/ were compared and no evidence of phonological or phonetic convergence was found. For one speaker, …
Community perceptions of health and rodent-borne diseases along the Inter-Oceanic Highway in Madre de Dios, Peru
Awareness of rodent-borne diseases is still lacking in the area, even among health care professionals within the communities, despite the known burden of diseases like leptospirosis. We expect to report further findings as we obtain more information from all the study components
