Design and Validation of a Classroom Observation Instrument to Evaluate the Quality of Mathematical Activity from a Gender Perspective
This study aimed to design and validate an instrument as a guideline for classroom observation and analysis of teaching–learning process in mathematics. The instrument considers 3 dimensions and 16 subdimensions with a gender perspective. A content validity process by eight expert judges is presented, built from a dialectical work between theory and empirical evidence from more than 100 classes observed and recorded on video from 19 educational c…
Effect of CDC adjustment of state‐reported data on community water fluoridation statistics
Adjustment of state-reported data improved overall quality of CWF coverage measures and had minimal impact on key measures
Leaf Thermal and Chemical Properties as Natural Drivers of Plant Flammability of Native and Exotic Tree Species of the Valparaíso Region, Chile
Forest fires are one of the main environmental threats in Chile. Fires in this Mediterranean climate region frequently affect native forests and exotic plantations, including in several cases urban and rural settlements. Considering the scarcity of information regarding the fire response dynamics of tree species that are frequently affected by fires, this study aims to establish a flammability classification according to the evolution of the fire…
The Impact of Dental Insurance and Medical Insurance on Dental Care Utilization During Pregnancy
Care and viral suppression during the last year of life among persons with HIV who died in 2012, 18 US jurisdictions
Death due to HIV remains a leading cause of death among some US populations, yet little is known about HIV care before death. We used data from the National HIV Surveillance System to determine disease stage and care within 12 months prior to death among persons infected with HIV who died in 2012. Persons were considered to be in care within 12 months before death if they had ≥1 CD4 or viral load test results, and in continuous care if they had ≥…
Patterns and Trends of Newly Diagnosed HIV Infections Among Adults and Adolescents in Correctional and Noncorrectional Facilities, United States, 2008–2011
Objectives. We aimed to determine whether the patterns and trends of HIV infections newly diagnosed within correctional and noncorrectional facilities differ. Methods. We classified persons newly diagnosed with HIV infection in the United States between 2008 and 2011 (n = 181 710) by correctional and noncorrectional facilities where diagnoses were first made, and stratified by sex, age group, race/ethnicity, transmission category, and diagnosis y…
Late Diagnosis of HIV Infection in Metropolitan Areas of the United States and Puerto Rico
Racial/Ethnic and Age Disparities in HIV Prevalence and Disease Progression Among Men Who Have Sex With Men in the United States
Objectives. We examined HIV diagnosis rates and disease progression among men who have sex with men (MSM) according to race/ethnicity and age. Methods. Using data obtained from the national HIV/AIDS surveillance system, we examined trends in HIV diagnosis rates for 2001 through 2004 using Poisson regression. We used a standardized Kaplan–Meier method to determine differences in time of progression from HIV to AIDS and AIDS survival. Results. HIV …
Characteristics of Persons With Heterosexually Acquired HIV Infection, United States 1999–2004
Objectives. In the United States a growing proportion of cases of heterosexually acquired HIV infections occur in women and in persons of color. We analyzed the association between race/ethnicity, whether diagnoses of HIV infection and AIDS were made concurrently, and the survival after diagnosis of heterosexually acquired AIDS. Methods. We used data from 29 states that report confidential name-based HIV/AIDS cases to the Centers for Disease Cont…
