The ability to inventory and map soil salinity at regional scales remains a significant challenge to scientists concerned with the salinization of agricultural soils throughout the world. Previous attempts to use satellite or aerial imagery to assess soil salinity have found limited success in part because of the inability of methods to isolate the effects of soil salinity on vegetative growth from other factors. This study evaluated the use of Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) imagery in conjunction with directed soil sampling to assess and map soil salinity at a regional scale (i.e., 10-10(5) km(2)) in a parsimonious manner. Correlations with three soil salinity ground truth datasets differing in scale were made in Kittson County within the Red River Valley (RRV) of North Dakota and Minnesota, an area where soil salinity assessment is a top priority for the Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS). Multi-year MODIS imagery was used to mitigate the influence of temporally dynamic factors such as weather, pests, disease, and management influences. The average of the MODIS enhanced vegetation index (EVI) for a 7-yr period exhibited a strong relationship with soil salinity in all three datasets, and outperformed the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI). One-third to one-half of the spatial variability in soil salinity could be captured by measuring average MODIS EVI and whether the land qualified for the Conservation Reserve Program (a USDA program that sets aside marginally productive land based on conservation principles). The approach has the practical simplicity to allow broad application in areas where limited resources are available for salinity assessment.

STUDY DESIGN: Controlled laboratory study, repeated-measures design. OBJECTIVES: To compare hip abductor muscle activity and hip and knee joint kinematics in the moving limb to the stance limb during resisted side stepping, and to determine whether muscle activity was affected by the posture (upright standing versus squat) used to perform the exercise. BACKGROUND: Hip abductor weakness has been associated with a variety of lower extremity injuries. Resisted side stepping is often used as an exercise to increase strength and endurance of the hip abductors. Exercise prescription would benefit from knowing the relative muscle activity level generated in each limb and for different postures during the side-stepping exercise. METHODS: Twenty-four healthy adults participated in this study. Kinematics and surface electromyographic data from the gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, and tensor fascia lata were collected as participants performed side stepping with a resistive band around the ankle, while maintaining each of 2 postures: (1) upright standing and (2) squat. RESULTS: Mean normalized electromyographic signal amplitude of the gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, and tensor fascia lata was higher in the stance limb than in the moving limb (P≤.001). Gluteal muscle activity was higher, whereas tensor fascia lata muscle activity was lower, in the squat posture compared to the upright standing posture (P<.001). Hip abduction excursion was greater in the stance limb than in the moving limb (P<.001). CONCLUSION: The 3 hip abductor muscles respond differently to the posture variations of the side-stepping exercise in healthy individuals. When prescribing resisted side-stepping exercises, therapists should consider the differences in hip abductor activation across limbs and variations in trunk posture.

CONTEXT: Weakness or decreased activation of the hip abductors and external rotators has been associated with lower extremity injury, especially in females. Resisted side stepping is commonly used to address hip weakness. Whereas multiple variations of this exercise are used clinically, few data exist regarding which variations to select. OBJECTIVE: To investigate differences in muscle-activation and movement patterns and determine kinematic and limb-specific differences between men and women during resisted side stepping with 3 resistive-band positions. DESIGN: Controlled laboratory study. SETTING: Laboratory. PATIENTS OR OTHER PARTICIPANTS: A total of 22 healthy adults (11 men, 11 women; age = 22.8 ± 3.0 years, height = 171.6 ± 10.7 cm, mass = 68.5 ± 11.8 kg). INTERVENTION(S): Participants side stepped with the resistive band at 3 locations (knees, ankles, feet). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): We collected surface electromyography of the gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, and tensor fascia lata (TFL) for the moving and stance limbs during the concentric and eccentric phases. We also measured trunk inclination, hip and knee flexion, and hip-abduction excursion. RESULTS: Hip-abductor activity was higher in women than in men ( P ≤ .04). The pattern of TFL activity in the stance limb differed by sex. Women performed the exercise in greater forward trunk inclination ( P = .009) and had greater hip excursion ( P = .003). Gluteus maximus and medius activity increased when the band was moved from the knees to the ankles and from the ankles to the feet, whereas TFL activity increased only when the band was moved from the knees to the ankles. Findings were similar for both the stance and moving limbs, but the magnitudes of the changes differed. CONCLUSIONS: Compared with placing the band around the ankles, placing the band around the feet for resisted side stepping elicited more activity in the gluteal muscles without increasing TFL activity. This band placement is most appropriate when the therapeutic goal is to activate the muscles that resist hip adduction and internal rotation.

This is a retrospective study of the length of survival (LOS) in hospice of patients with cancer treated at a major cancer center compared to other treatment sites. Of 670 patients, the 185 (28%) treated at a major cancer center had unique characteristics, including higher median Palliative Performance Score (PPS) at the time of hospice enrollment (45 versus 40, p = 0.009), and longer median LOS in hospice (35 versus 21 days, p = 0.02: log rank test). Additional variables that predicted longer LOS were higher PPS, Medicare or Medicaid, self-referral, unmarried status, and non-executed advance directives. After adjusting survival for PPS with a Cox proportional hazard model, the hazard ratio for PPS remained statistically significant (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.95-0.97] while that for the treatment site was not (95% CI: 0.73-1.04]. The performance status, and not the treatment site, was the dominant predictor of the LOS of patients with cancer in hospice.

Abstract The collared peccary (Pecari tajacu) is a social species that recently has expanded its historical range, yet little is known of its dispersal behavior at the population or biogeographic level. We used autosomal and cytoplasmic markers to assess whether the genetic variation among 4 populations in Texas retains a signal of historically recent founding events. Genetic differentiation based on mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplotype frequencies (FST) among these 4 populations was substantial. The mtDNA haplotype mismatch distributions indicate that P. tajacu recently has expanded its range across Texas; however, microsatellite-based standard analyses of molecular variance (AMOVAs) and pairwise FST estimates indicated little variation among populations, suggesting that dispersal is accomplished primarily by males. We also tested the alternative power of mtDNA haplotype or microsatellite genotype distribution patterns to detect a sex bias in instantaneous short-distance dispersal. Sex-specific hierarchical AMOVAs of mtDNA haplotype distributions (based on data from the most genetically diverse population) yielded significantly larger female-specific fixation index values compared to males, indicating a male instantaneous dispersal bias; however, variation in microsatellite frequency distribution was not partitioned in a sex-specific manner. Also, when sex-specific pairwise FST/(1 − FST) among herds was regressed against the log of the distance between each pair of herds, we found no significant effect of distance for either sex and no sex-specific difference using other microsatellite-based analyses (mean sex-specific relatedness, r, or FST). We conclude that sampling scale limits microsatellite-based methods of detecting instantaneous dispersal sex bias, especially when gene flow is substantial and microsatellite polymorphism is modest (&lt;20 alleles/locus). These results indicate that mtDNA can be used to infer instantaneous dispersal behavior for both sexes in cases where microsatellites have proven insufficient.

Our objective was to investigate the incidence of musculoskeletal injuries sustained by elite level curling athletes during international competition. This study was conducted during the 2008 World Men's Curling Championships. All registered athletes and the tournament medical team were given report forms for documenting injuries that occurred during the tournament. Report form information included demographics, area injured, types of injuries sustained, and curling-specific aggravating conditions. During the competition five injuries were reported, resulting in an injury rate of .07 injuries per game. Only one reported injury resulted in missed competition (.014 injuries per game). All reported injuries involved increased pain during curling-specific activities. At the elite international competitive level, injury incidence in curling was found to be low. Future exploration over the course of a season may be beneficial to identify risk factors and to assist with formulating training strategies to decrease injury risk.

BACKGROUND: Job satisfaction is a concern within many professions and may lead to decreased employee recruitment and retention. The purpose of this study was to compare the level of job satisfaction in PTs and PTAs and to analyze relationships between job satisfaction, demographics, and productivity requirements. METHODS: 245 PTs and PTAs in Washington state completed a survey consisting of demographic information and the Job Satisfaction Survey (JSS), which measures job satisfaction within nine subscales. RESULTS: PTs and PTAs had similar levels of job satisfaction, and participants had higher total job satisfaction than established norms. 60% of subjects had a productivity standard, with an average standard of 82.1%. Participants with a productivity standard had lower job satisfaction, and lower satisfaction regarding rewards, operating conditions, nature of work, and communication. Significant negative correlations were found between productivity standards, total job satisfaction, and satisfaction regarding pay, supervision, benefits, rewards, and communication. CONCLUSIONS: PTs and PTAs with a productivity standard and those seeking employment should be aware that productivity standards may negatively impact job satisfaction. Organizations should evaluate policies regarding productivity requirements to ensure adequate levels of employee job satisfaction are maintained and to potentially improve employee recruitment and retention.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to assess burnout in directors of physical therapist assistant (PTA) programs and to analyze the relationship between individual and institutional variables and burnout. METHODS: Surveys were completed by 120 directors from accredited PTA programs. The surveys consisted of demographic information and the Maslach Burnout Inventory-Educators Survey (MBI-ES). The MBI-ES assesses burnout in the areas of emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and personal accomplishment. RESULTS: PTA program directors showed moderate levels of emotional exhaustion, low levels of depersonalization, and high levels of personal accomplishment. Gender, the number of faculty in a department, and length of academic contract had no correlation with participant burnout levels. Significantly lower levels of emotional exhaustion were found in participants who were in their current position for more than 11 years and those who planned to remain in their current position or within higher education for at least 5 additional years. A significant negative correlation was found between participant age and depersonalization. DISCUSSION: PTA program directors and their institutions should develop strategies to minimize the effects of burnout in younger program directors and those in the early years of their position.

Curricular guidelines promote standardized approaches to coverage of essential knowledge and skills in undergraduate education. The American Society for Microbiology (ASM) Curriculum Guidelines for Undergraduate Microbiology were developed in 2012. Continuous, rapid growth of knowledge in science and a dynamic, changing world necessitate updates to these guidelines. As such, ASM formed a task force in the summer of 2022. The task force assessed the 2012 ASM Curriculum Guidelines considering advancements in technology, an understanding of an expanded role of microbes, and a broader scope addressing relevant social and environmental aspects of microbiology. Language in the updated guidelines was also modified to better include eukaryotic microbes, viruses, and other acellular microbes. The task force formed working groups, each aimed at revising specific sections of the 2012 ASM Curriculum Guidelines. The revisions to the ASM Curriculum Guidelines were reviewed by subject matter experts and education stakeholders. Feedback from this peer review was incorporated into the updated guidelines, and further comments were solicited from the ASM Conference of Undergraduate Educators (ASMCUE) attendees in November 2023 before these guidelines were finalized. In this article, we describe the rationale and development of updated ASM Curriculum Guidelines which identify foundational concepts that will serve to improve microbial literacy and that can be expanded upon to address more advanced and specialized topics.

INTRODUCTION: Communities of Practice (CoP) were created to up-skill educators and to mitigate the disruption to physical therapist assistant (PTA) education because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Understanding CoP involves considering individuals and their interactions, making this project significant for pioneering CoP among PTA educators, and using social network analysis (SNA). The research question for this mixed-methods concurrent triangulation study was "To what extent did the network structure of virtual CoP reflect PTA educators' perceptions of participation and mentorship?" SUBJECTS: Forty of 60 CoP members participated in this study. METHODS: We analyzed 8 virtual PTA educator CoP that met over 4 months. Study participants completed a questionnaire about their experiences, engagement, and network connections. Individual and group-level friendship and mentorship network measures were studied using SNA. Qualitative responses were analyzed using the case study design approach. All results were integrated to draw out the complexity of the PTA educator CoP. RESULTS: There was high engagement, with 97.5% (n = 39) reporting they would participate again, and 80% ( n = 32) resolved an immediate issue affecting their role. Moreover, 92.5% ( n = 37) reported a perception of encouragement with the environment. Study participants reported being mentored by an average of 1.2 individuals (median 0, range 0-5) and serving as mentors to an average of 1.4 individuals (median 0, range 0-7). Two themes, unity and knowledge, emerged through the qualitative analysis. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: Participation by PTA educators in CoP, whether focused on administration, teaching methods, or clinical education, brings valuable outcomes. Our research supports existing literature in physical therapy education. We discovered that participant engagement, nurturing mentor relationships, encouraging knowledge sharing, and promoting a sense of unity among educators are all important factors.

Not-for-profit healthcare organizations benefit enormously from their tax-exempt status. But in recent years, the IRS, Congress, and state and local governments have begun scrutinizing these organizations in an effort to find potential sources of new tax revenue. Since the survival of an organization may depend on retaining its tax-exempt status, healthcare executives must be able to justify their organizations' status by developing a written charity care policy, promoting the concept of community benefit, reviewing physician recruitment and retention policies to identifying and reporting unrelated business income, and submitting a concise Form 990 tax return to the Federal government.

AIMS: Work engagement is an important component of occupational wellness. The purpose of this study was to compare work engagement between physical therapists (PTs) and physical therapist assistants (PTAs) and to analyze relationships with participant demographics. METHODS: An online survey was emailed to all licensed PTs and PTAs in Texas, with 975 completed surveys returned. The survey consisted of demographic information and the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale-9. RESULTS: PTs and PTAs had similar levels of work engagement. Participants with a productivity requirement and those intending to leave their position had decreased work engagement, while American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) members had increased work engagement. CONCLUSION: The presence of a productivity requirement was associated with decreased work engagement and intent to leave one's position. To promote work engagement, organizations should assess productivity expectations and ensure job resources are adequate.

Abstract The COVID‐19 pandemic caused an abrupt change in educational programs worldwide, including workforce development education in community colleges. Given the hands‐on requirements of these programs, considerations for changes included if and how instructors and students could maintain academic continuity during the pandemic. This article focuses on aviation maintenance technology schools (AMTS) as a case study to understand how programs that rely heavily on hands‐on learning responded to COVID‐19 significant disruption to education. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) must approve educational training for aviation maintenance careers, and the FAA requires specific hands‐on activities in the curriculum. Of the 182 AMTS in the United States, 143 are located within community colleges. We conducted 43 interviews with AMTS students, administrators, and instructors from 18 different community colleges. Following content analysis of the interviews, the authors identified six findings related to how these programs responded to the pandemic, with special attention to maintaining academic stability. The article advocates for integrating digital learning tools (DLT) to create resilient educational programs when disruptions occur. These tools allow for students to continue to asynchronously practice the procedures and familiarize themselves with the materials needed for projects, provide students immediate feedback on their learning, and save schools money on expensive resources when students require extra practice on certain skills and processes. The application of these tools is relevant beyond the pandemic, helping students in many scenarios succeed in the face of natural disasters, family obligations, and the need for extra learning resources.

Background Accurate small-area estimates of vaccination rates and disease burden can inform public health interventions. Objective This study aimed to compare population denominators derived from census data and electronic health record (EHR) data from a statewide collaboration in Minnesota and examine concordance between Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and EHR-based estimates of diabetes and hypertension prevalence at the census tract level. Methods A retrospective study was conducted using EHR data from 2018 to 2022 from the Minnesota EHR Consortium (MNEHRC), population estimates from the 2020 census, and disease prevalence estimates among adults from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Population Level Analysis and Community Estimates (PLACES) project. Patients were included if they had a Minnesota address and a clinic visit in the last 3 years. Patients with hypertension and diabetes were identified based on the presence of at least 1 diagnosis code in the Observational Medical Outcomes Partnership condition occurrence table in the last 5 years or an elevated outpatient blood pressure (systolic blood pressure ≥140 mm Hg or diastolic blood pressure ≥90 mm Hg) on 2 or more days in the last 3 years for hypertension or at least 1 hemoglobin A1c value of ≥6.5 in the last 3 years for diabetes. Results The 2020 census estimate for the population of Minnesota was 5,707,254. A total of 5,271,191 (92.4% of the census estimate) unique individuals visited 1 of the 11 MNEHRC health care systems in 3 years (2018-2020). The ratio of MNEHRC patients to the Minnesota statewide 2020 census estimate was higher for female individuals (0.97) than for male individuals (0.88) and higher for older age groups (individuals aged 65 years and older: 1.05) than for younger age groups (individuals aged 0-17 years: 0.83). The MNEHRC patient-to-census ratio also differed by race—the ratio was the highest for Black Minnesotans (1.17) and the lowest for American Indian and Alaska Native Minnesotans (0.68). According to MNEHRC data, the percentage of adults in Minnesota with diabetes in 2022 was 9.5% (415,914/4,376,805), and the percentage of adults in Minnesota with hypertension in 2021 was 32.2% (1,365,413/4,234,000). Estimates from PLACES for diabetes were 9.9% (435,481/4,389,028) and for hypertension were 29.9% (1,311,459/4,389,028). The percentage of census tracts where the MNEHRC estimate was within 10% of the PLACES estimate was 40.3% (605/1500) for diabetes and 42.3% (635/1500) for hypertension; 77.9% (1168/1500) of census tracts for diabetes and 79.7% (1195/1500) for hypertension were within 25% agreement. Conclusions Our analysis suggests that there are both similarities and important differences between small-area estimates derived from EHR and survey data. Such differences suggest that further research is needed to determine the optimal collection method for local estimates of health conditions.

Forensic Audit of Quantum Hardware Seniority: ADS-LLC 11D-CRSM Manifold vs. D-Wave Inc. and Geometric Foundation (Case #564883754) This record provides the definitive bitwise and mathematical proof of the systemic misappropriation of the DNA-Lang Quantum Ecosystem (CAGE: 9HUP5). It establishes a 100% correlation between non-public hardware calibration constants—specifically the 0.092 Coherence Floor and the 51.843° Resonance Angle—and the "Level 3.3" stack published by D-Wave Inc. (Andrew D. King et al.) and the Geometric Foundation (Massimo Medesani). Key Forensic Evidence: Hardware-Locked Constants: This audit proves that $\Gamma = 0.092$ is a physical artifact of the IBM Torino (Heron r2) processor measured by Devin Phillip Davis in January 2026. Its appearance in the Target’s "universal" framework signifies direct exfiltration of ADS-LLC telemetry. Temporal Seniority: This record anchors 1,430+ successful IBM Quantum jobs (Kingston, Fez, Marrakesh, Torino) conducted between December 2025 and March 31, 2026, predating the Target’s March 1st "Version v3" publication. The Password/Algorithm Paradox: The Target entities have published the Result (the $51.843^\circ$ angle) without the underlying Derivation (the 11D-CRSM Wheeler-DeWitt Lagrangian). This constitutes a "Bitwise Collision" where the Target possesses the key but lacks the mathematical lock. Included Artifacts: ADS-LLC-LICENSED-QUANTUM-SUPREMACY-JOBIDS.zip: Raw telemetry and pulse-level results from 100,000,000+ shots. Bitwise Diff Report: Direct comparison between the invariant-corridor/verifier and the DNA-Lang v1.0.0 source code. $\sigma$-Variance Validation: Hardware logs proving the Non-Markovian noise oscillations ($\tau_0 = 46 \mu s$) that are absent in the Target's "frozen" data.

Community College Advanced Technological Education programs are prime sources for educating students for employment into the Skilled Technical Workforce, such as micro nanotechnology, biotechnology, and autonomous technologies. However, community college technical education programs struggle to make students aware of program availability, recruitment, and graduate students into the workforce. Recruitment and retention are fundamental to any workforce pipeline. Therefore, programs in biotechnology, nanotechnology, advanced manufacturing, autonomous technologies, and other Skilled Technical Workforce certificate and associate degree programs must increase awareness and recruitment strategies or continue with low enrollment and eventual discontinuation of programs. Strategies used to increase awareness of technical education programs to the public, community college students, administrators, and industry partners will be described in this manuscript.
