Phenotypic impacts of treatment-selected mutations in HIV-2 protease on darunavir and lopinavir susceptibility
Compared to HIV-1, HIV-2 infection is characterized by lower viral loads and slower decline in CD4 cells, however the majority of people living with HIV-2 (PLWH2) progress to AIDS and will benefit from antiretroviral therapy. Mutations leading to protease inhibitor (PI) resistance in HIV-2 are poorly characterized, but have important implications for second-line therapy. We evaluated the phenotypic drug susceptibility impacts of HIV-2 protease ch…
The Prevention Gap
The long-term effect of the coronavirus pandemic on parkrun participation
The reduction in parkrun participation during the pandemic and following the reopening of events is likely to have negatively impacted wellbeing in would-be participants. Going forwards, policymakers must make the difficult trade-off between the long-term health and social implications of restricting outdoor physical activity events against the benefits associated with a reduction in infectious disease transmission
Socioeconomic inequalities in distance to and participation in a community-based running and walking activity
Over the past 10 years, geodesic distance to the nearest parkrun decreased from a mean of 34 km to 5 km. In 2010, there was equality between the least and most deprived areas but by 2017 the distance of the most deprived areas was 29% that of the least deprived. Participation was shown to have increased over the past 10 years which can be split into two distinct phases: from 2010 to 2013 participation increased super-linearly and inequality in pa…
Improving Screening Uptake among Breast Cancer Survivors and Their First-Degree Relatives at Elevated Risk to Breast Cancer
Women diagnosed with breast cancer at a relatively early age (≤45 years) or with bilateral disease at any age are at elevated risk for additional breast cancer, as are their female first-degree relatives (FDRs). We report on a randomized trial to increase adherence to mammography screening guidelines among survivors and FDRs. From the Georgia Cancer Registry, breast cancer survivors diagnosed during 2000-2009 at six Georgia cancer centers underwe…
Should algorithms be regulated by government
There has been, and continues to be, an explosion in the use of algorithms across the economy and society. There are growing concerns about how algorithms are being used and whether they are accountable. This article reviews the literature on the issue of algorithms in several key areas, such as fairness, accountability, and transparency. The article examines arguments on why algorithms should be regulated, and it explores the available literatur…

The Energy Dimension in American Policy towards the Black Sea Region
American energy policy in the Black Sea region is centered on encouraging the safe and reliable transportation of energy supplies westward from Central Asia and the Caspian Sea. Establishing this east‐west corridor will reduce traffic through vulnerable energy chokepoints and break Russia’s near‐monopolistic control of oil and gas transit routes in the region. Not only will this strategy improve European and Eurasian energy security, it will also…

Does Ethnic Concentration Influence Employees' Access to Authority? An Examination of Contemporary Urban Labor Markets
This article examines whether ethnic concentration in establishments, occupations, and industries influences the authority attainment of white, Hack, Hispanic, and Asian men and women. Data from the Multi-City Survey of Urban Inequality and the 1990 decennial census indicate that “horizontal” concentration among roughly equivalent coworkers and within local industrial and occupational sectors has little effect on minority chances of accessing pos…

Women, Karate, and Gender Typing
When women have the physical ability to overcome men, a major basis of cognitive categorization is violated and dissonance created. Two dissonance-resolving mechanisms take place-derision and denial. A study of women trained in Karate1 provided an opportunity to examine these dissonance-reducing mechanisms. Results from fieldwork and questionnaires administered to both participants in Karate and a sample of students reveal that dissonace created …
Further Development and Validation of a Self-Concept Measure Involving School-Related Activities
For each of two revised forms of the Dimensions of Self-Concept (DOSC) measure (E form for elementary school pupils in grades 4, 5, and 6, and S form for secondary school students in grades 7 through 12), statistical information is presented concerning the intercorrelations of each of five factor scales, the reliability and standard error of measurement of each scale, and the results of item analyses. Also included are a brief summary of data per…
The Factorial Validity of Three Forms of the Dimensions of Self-Concept Measure
For each of three samples of 145 elementary school (ES), 250 junior high school (JHS), and 166 senior high school (SHS) students who were administered one of three essentially parallel forms of a self-report inventory entitled Dimensions of Self-Concept (DOSC), efforts were made (1) to determine the empirical factor structure of each form, (2) to ascertain whether empirical (rotated) factors as interpreted corresponded to the five school-related …

Computer Procedure to Compute Unweighted Means Analysis for Two-Factor Fixed Effects Analysis of Variance
A computer program is described that computes F ratios and attendant probabilities for two-factor fixed effects analysis of variance designs with disproportional cell frequencies. The number of levels for each factor is limited to five and all zero values are considered to be equivalent to missing values

Computer Procedure to Construct Isodensity Ellipses for Bivariate Normal Correlational Analysis
A computer program is described that constructs and visually displays isodensity ellipses of a bivariate normal distribution for a maximum number of 100 pairs of values. The numbers of actual points within the ellipses can be compared with the theoretically expected frequencies by a chi-square analysis
The Development and Preliminary Validation of Three Forms of a Self-Concept Measure Emphasizing School-Related Activities
Subsequent to the presentation of a simple rationale for construction of a self-concept measure emphasizing five school-related constructs, the development and internal validation of three forms of the instrument entitled Dimensions of Self-Concept (DOSC) are described. For three samples of 479 elementary school pupils, 478 junior high school students, and 469 senior high school students in a large metropolitan school district, item-analysis data…
The Factorial Validity of the Piers-Harris Children's Self-Concept Scale for Each of Three Samples of Elementary, Junior High, and Senior High School Students in a Large Metropolitan School District
For each of three samples of 299 elementary school pupils, 302 junior high school pupils, and 300 senior high school students in a large metropolitan school district, factor analyses of the intercorrelations of the responses to 80 items in The Piers-Harris Children's Self-Concept Scale yielded three major dimensions that were essentially invariant across the three samples: (a) physical appearance, (b) socially unacceptable (bad) behavior, and (c)…
