Multisector community partnerships play a pivotal role in public health strategy for understanding and addressing social determinants of health (SDOH) and promoting health equity. The work of these partnerships is well aligned with building community resilience. The Year 2 Improving Social Determinants of Health-Getting Further Faster (GFF) retrospective evaluation was designed to gather practice-based evidence that can inform future community-driven partnerships to improve chronic disease outcomes and advance health equity by addressing social determinants of health (SDOH). This paper sought to determine how the efforts of multisector community partnerships could also support community resilience. Guided by CDC's Framework for Program Evaluation in Public Health and health equity principles, the GFF evaluation engaged 14 Multisector Community Partnerships to better understand how their SDOH interventions contribute to community changes that improve chronic diseases and advance health equity. Data collection included qualitative discussions along with additional quantitative analyses of SDOH outcomes, costs, and prevention impacts. This paper focuses on insights gathered from qualitative discussions (2 virtual 60-minute discussions with members of each of the 14 Partnerships) around community resilience. Results from qualitative discussions demonstrate how Partnerships' SDOH efforts created parallel opportunities for nurturing community resilience. For example, Partnerships engaged community members in the design and implementation of SDOH interventions in ways that nurtured a sense of belonging and empowerment to shape their community. To further build community resilience, Partnerships mentioned the importance of sustained and flexible funding, help building stronger partnerships, and a shared goal to build resilience and engage community members. Findings indicate that community partnerships working to address SDOH can drive reciprocal improvements in community resilience-contributions that are critical for advancing health equity. Partnerships suggested that health departments may have opportunities to enhance community resilience through their role as funder, facilitator, and convener.

To compare city and census tract-level diabetes and hypertension prevalence using 500 Cities Project modeled estimates from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and insurance claims data. Insurance claims by census tract were collected from 3 local health plans for the city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, for 2015-2016; conditions were defined using International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision (ICD-9) and Tenth Revision (ICD-10) codes. Crude prevalence estimates with 95% confidence intervals were downloaded from the CDC 500 Cities Web site to obtain modeled estimates by census tract. Confidence intervals were calculated for claims and compared with modeled estimates; nonoverlapping intervals were considered significant. Pearson correlation coefficients were generated for census tract-level comparison. City-level model-based and claims estimates were 9% versus 10% for diabetes and 31% versus 21% for hypertension. At the census tract level, model-based and insurance claims estimates were more concordant for diabetes (r = 0.366) than for hypertension (r = 0.220). Modeled estimates were significantly higher than claims estimates for 89% of census tracts for hypertension and 35% for diabetes. Modeled estimates from the 500 Cites Project were significantly higher than insurance claims estimates for hypertension but were more consistent for diabetes. Utilization of multiple data sources to understand local-level chronic disease burden requires consideration of the strengths and limitations of each.

Rotary cutting of electrical steel strip is an innovative, but largely unexplored process. By state of the art a derivation of achievable process and product quality is not sufficiently possible yet. Within this publication, a series of experiments to rotary cut toroidal core specimens will be presented. With toroidal core tests on one the hand, the rotary cutting process itself is analyzed and on the other hand the results of the sample analysis reveal the process influences. Finally, a classification of the rotary cutting process into existing processing technologies of electrical steel strip is feasible with respect to its limits and possibilities.

We extend the existing enumeration of neck tie-knots to include tie-knots with a textured front, tied with the narrow end of a tie. These tie-knots have gained popularity in recent years, based on reconstructions of a costume detail from The Matrix Reloaded, and are explicitly ruled out in the enumeration by Fink and Mao (2000). We show that the relaxed tie-knot description language that comprehensively describes these extended tie-knot classes is context free. It has a regular sub-language that covers all the knots that originally inspired the work. From the full language, we enumerate 266 682 distinct tie-knots that seem tie-able with a normal neck-tie. Out of these 266 682, we also enumerate 24 882 tie-knots that belong to the regular sub-language.

El presente artículo aborda el singular mundo del Hacking Ético, buscando establecer que un hacker no es un delincuente tal y como se define en el imaginario general, haciendo especifica la disertación para el contexto colombiano. Con este fin se recurre al planteamiento de dos perfiles que son producto de la experiencia y trayectoria del autor, para concluir que en Colombia hay talento humano para formar grandes profesionales en Hacking Ético, pero hace falta una formación clara que evite que los participantes distorsionen el propósito y terminen irrumpiendo en la ilegalidad.

This paper introduces a possible general framework for the evaluation of different political and economic instruments in a transparent and comprehensible way. For illustration exemplary results of an evaluation are presented as well. Therefore possible criteria for the evaluation are explained and analysed. The most important criteria are the accuracy and the speed of achieving the environmental target, the economic efficiency, the compatibility with the market economy and the compatibility with the polluter-pays-principle. Additional criteria are the political acceptability, the distributional effects and the incentives for additional environmental improvements. In the first step of the exemplary evaluation it is shown, that independent of the chosen type of instrument, i.e. standards, charges or subsidies, the best are emission-based instruments followed by technology-based and product-based instruments. The second step compares the different emission based standards, charges and subsidies with tradeable permits. The result is a ranking with tradeable permits coming off best, followed by emission charges (taxes), emission standards and emission reduction subsidies.
