Throughout this internship, I, Abhi Pasupula, have worked with my internship mentor, Barry Federici, in order to help him start up a new service. This service is targeted specifically towards veterans and their paths in their lives after they retire from the military. The service is split up into two categories, those being Jobs and Veteran Benefits. Jobs entailed creating and implement a job board into our website for retired veterans to search for. Veteran benefits showcase a list of benefits that veterans are eligible for, divided up by Federal Benefits, State Benefits, Local Benefits, and a page for all available benefits. For the Job Board page on the website, we got into contact with a job board service known as Hiring Opps and spent many days working through the features and seeing which features would serve us the best for the website. In addition, we set up a Sandbox so that we could physically see the service in action. The benefits required more menial work, such as compiling the list of total benefits and categorizing them into states with links that lead to the state Veteran Benefits commission for more information. Once organized, the benefits were organized into 4 sections, each section having its own page on the website. Both of these websites were connected back to the original website, which served as a homepage for all the services. The homepage also had services to meet with my mentor, Mr. Federici. Working on both of these websites and services really opened my eyes to the professional world of Software Development, where there was so much more apart from just programming. Similar to this internship, the real world will require me to be able to voice my thoughts as well as put them down on paper and be able to explain them well to others, something that I believe this internship set me up for very well. ; https://digitalcommons.imsa.edu/intern_reports_2021/1004/thumbnail.jpg

Retrospective study of transverse type from January to June 2009 in the Tinbuktu area for specific supervision of activities to combat tuberculosis, whose main objective was to make the analysis of the epidemiological situation of tuberculosis in the Tinbuktu area. The ratio was of two men for one woman, this male is observed in all circles except Niafunké where he had parity. The new cases of smear-positive cases represent 85% and the circle of Tinbuktu outwits the greatest number of TB patients in the region either 29.6% unlike Gourma RHAROUS 4.8 percent of the cases. By making the same crossing for therapeutic failure rate, we see that the single Goundam circle holds 50% of cases of failure of the region. Lost to rate is higher in the circle of Tinbuktu 46.7% Unlike Niafounké where this is 5.6%. Cases of tuberculosis in negative microscopy and pulmonary extra represent, respectively, 3.2 and 6.4 percent of cases of tuberculosis in the region of Tinbuktu. We have found a statistically significant relationship (P = 0. 004) between failed and death in the region. The fight against tuberculosis remains a struggle that deserves to require the attention of political power and vigilance of social health. ; Etude rétrospective de type transversal de janvier à juin 2009 dans la région de Tombouctou dans le cadre de la supervision spécifique des activités de lutte contre la tuberculose, dont l'objectif principal était de faire l'analyse de la situation épidémiologique de la tuberculose dans la région de Tombouctou. Le ratio était de 2 hommes pour une femme, cette prédominance masculine s'observait dans tous les cercles sauf à Niafounké où il avait une parité. Les nouveaux cas frottis positifs représentent 85% et le cercle de Tombouctou dépiste le plus grand nombre de tuberculeux de la région soit 29.6 % des cas contrairement à Gourma RHAROUS 4.8% des cas. En faisant le même croisement pour le taux d'échec thérapeutique, nous constatons que le cercle de Goundam seul détient 50% des cas d'échec de la région. Le taux de perdus de vue est plus élevé dans le cercle de Tombouctou soit 46,7% contrairement à Niafounké où ce taux est de 5,6 %. Les cas de Tuberculose à microscopie négative et les extra pulmonaires représentent respectivement 3,2 et 6,4% des cas de tuberculose de la région de Tombouctou. Nous avons retrouvé, une relation statistiquement significative (P=0 ,004) entre Echec et Décès dans toute la région. La lutte contre la tuberculose reste un combat qui mérite de requérir l'attention des pouvoirs politiques et la vigilance du personnel socio sanitaire.

The legislative agenda in most parliamentary systems is controlled tightly by the government and bills offered by individual members of parliament have low rates of success. Yet, members of parliament (MPs) do seek to present (private) members' bills even where the rate of adoption is very low. We argue that members' bills serve as an electoral connection but also as an opportunity for MPs to signal competence to their co-partisans. To demonstrate the presence of an electoral connection we take advantage of the random selection of private members' bills in the New Zealand House of Representatives and show that survey respondents approve more of electorate MPs whose bills were drawn on the ballot. In addition, we show that MPs respond to the incentives created by the voters and parties' willingness to reward legislative effort and, consequently, that electorally vulnerable legislators are more likely to place members' bills on the ballot.

We agree with Karen Levy and Joseph Eisenberg that observational studies of water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) interventions with carefully designed counterfactuals can play a valuable role in generating evidence on effectiveness, particularly in urban settings. Randomised controlled trials for community-level WASH infrastructure interventions are not always feasible in urban settings, because of the political and logistical constraints of defining treatment and control groups; strong observational designs could help fill the gap.1 With increasing urbanisation in Asia and Africa, WASH intervention studies in low-income urban communities will be crucial for informing strategies to meet Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) target 6.1: to achieve universal and equitable access to safe and affordable drinking water for all. ; AJPi, BFA, CN, MR, and CPS report grants and other support from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, during this study. JMC received salary support and University of California, Berkeley, received the prime award funding for the conduct of the WASH Benefits trials in Bangladesh and Kenya.

In order to meet climate goals, it will be necessary to significantly reduce the greenhouse gases emitted by homes. A key factor in the US is to reduce the on-site combustion of fossil fuels for heating end-uses and to replace this with use of electric heat pump technologies connected to a low-carbon grid. The replacement of natural gas furnaces with electric heat pumps is a key home decarbonization strategy. However, the potential for space heating electrification to reduce greenhouse gas emissions depends on the carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) content of the electricity used by the heat pump. This varies considerably depending on the source of electricity, with large state to state variability. Furthermore, household energy costs are likely to be impacted by the electrification of space heating, because retail energy prices for both natural gas and electricity in each state vary by factors of seven and four, respectively. Contractors, energy programs, government and building code officials, as well as consumers need clear indications of the likely CO2e and energy cost impacts of proposed electrification projects, because these will affect decarbonization choices and rationales around scaled heating electrification. Government and utility programs also need to be aware of the likely outcomes of any supported/incentivized measures. In this paper, we investigate these effects by looking at new metrics to analyze the change in CO2e emitted and the cost to meet home heating loads when switching from a natural gas furnace to a heat pump for the contiguous 48 states of the mainland US.
