Mobilizing extremism: An examination of the travel patterns of right-wing extremists in the United States
A study of Sars-COV-2 outbreaks in US federal prisons: The linkage between staff, incarcerated populations, and community transmission
We found significant evidence of community/staff/incarcerated population inter-linkage of SARS-COV-2 transmission. Further study is warranted to determine which control measures aimed at the incarcerated population and/or staff are most efficacious at preventing or controlling outbreaks
The 2020 Coronavirus Pandemic and Its Corresponding Data Boon: Issues With Pandemic-Related Data From Criminal Justice Organizations
Public organizations, including institutions in the U.S. criminal justice (CJ) system, have been rapidly releasing information pertaining to COVID-19. Even CJ institutions typically reticent to share information, like private prisons, have released vital COVID-19 information. The boon of available pandemic-related data, however, is not without problems. Unclear conceptualizations, stakeholders’ influence on data collection and release, and a lack…
Is There a Temporal Relationship between Covid-19 Infections among Prison Staff, Incarcerated Persons and the Larger Community in the United States
The relationship between COVID-19 infections among staff and incarcerated persons shows that staff is vital to infection control, and correctional administrators should also focus infection containment efforts on staff, in addition to incarcerated persons
Geodemographic insights on the Covid-19 pandemic in the State of Wisconsin and the role of risky facilities
How long do people stick to a diet resolution? A digital epidemiological estimation of weight loss diet persistence
Objective: To use Internet search data to compare duration of compliance for various diets. Design: Using a passive surveillance digital epidemiological approach, we estimated the average duration of diet compliance by examining monthly Internet searches for recipes related to popular diets. We fit a mathematical model to these data to estimate the time spent on a diet by new January dieters (NJD) and to estimate the percentage of dieters droppin…
Advanced geometrical constructs in a Pueblo ceremonial site, c 1200 CE
Contagion in Mass Killings and School Shootings
BACKGROUND: Several past studies have found that media reports of suicides and homicides appear to subsequently increase the incidence of similar events in the community, apparently due to the coverage planting the seeds of ideation in at-risk individuals to commit similar acts. METHODS: Here we explore whether or not contagion is evident in more high-profile incidents, such as school shootings and mass killings (incidents with four or more peopl…
Age Distribution of Infection and Hospitalization Among Canadian First Nations Populations During the 2009 H1N1 Pandemic
Objectives. We estimated age-standardized ratios of infection and hospitalization among Canadian First Nations (FN) populations and compared their distributions with those estimated for non-FN populations in Manitoba, Canada. Methods. For the spring and fall 2009 waves of the H1N1 pandemic, we obtained daily numbers of laboratory-confirmed and hospitalized cases of H1N1 infection, stratified by 5-year age groups and FN status. We calculated age-s…
