To describe the epidemiologic profile and prevalence of cardiopathy in 163 Trypanosoma cruzi serum positive blood donor candidates, a descriptive study was carried out between August, 1996 and November, 1997 at the Londrina State University Chagas Disease Outpatient Clinic. The profile found was: young, average age 42.95 ± 8.62 years; male (65%); Caucasian (84%); low level of schooling; low family income; agricultural worker (26%); born in the state of Paraná (67%); from rural areas (85%); migrated to the city (85%); and the vector as the main mechanism of transmission. During the clinical characterization a chronic cardiac form was found in 38% of the patients and classified as cardiac suggestive form in 21% and little suggestive of Chagas disease in 17%. No significant difference was found among age group distribution, sex and the presence of cardiac symptoms in patients with or without cardiopathy. This study emphasizes the importance of expanding medical services to areas with a greater prevalence of infected individuals, in a hierarchical manner and aiming at decentralization.

Abstract The Cooperative Extension System's mission to “put scientific knowledge into practice” is a natural fit for practicing anthropologists. Two extension anthropologists present their work with the Iowa State University Extension and Outreach programs, Iowa Learning Farms and Water Rocks!, as a case study for how anthropological practice can be used to develop and implement successful extension programs. Added to the conversation is the element of advocacy in anthropological practice, with an examination of how using anthropological research and evaluation methods to understand targeted program audience perspectives better enables practitioners to advocate for environmental improvements and better meet the primary extension program objective of bringing practical, science-based solutions to real world problems.

One of the challenges of teaching nursing in a rural area is developing a creative way to define and express leadership abilities. The Art and Nursing departments of Oklahoma Panhandle State University addressed this challenge by pairing a nursing student and art student, who worked together to create a tangible expression of caring. To meet the challenge of mentor shortage in rural areas, the author developed an e-mail mentor program for nursing-leadership students. The art of story as an intervention was used to help students define their leadership roles by interviewing a historic nursing leader in their geographic area. Students were also encouraged to correspond with their legislators and begin a dialogue about nursing and health care.

The article analyzes the crime rate in the Russian Federation, including the Yaroslavl region. The author carried out a sociological study, within the framework of which a selective analysis of the implementation of the Safe city program in cities in the Russian Federation was carried out. In addition, a survey of students was carried out in 2018–2019 and a series of in-depth interviews with positional experts were conducted. A series of in-depth interviews with students were carried out: the faculty of law of Yaroslavl state university, the faculty of social and political sciences from Yaroslavl state university, pedagogical specialties from Yaroslavl state pedagogical university. It is concluded that the fight against crime will be more effective in comparison with the existing practice if the following conditions are met: purposeful increase in the degree of protection of citizens and infrastructure of cities and rural areas; full-scale implementation of information and communication technologies to control closed (markets, museums, etc.) and open (squares, parks, etc.) territories; development of basic information systems and resources, formation of technical and organizational foundations for further digital transformation of cities and rural areas; active participation of citizens in the life of society and in decision-making on the digitalization of urban space. The author's selective analysis of the implementation of the Safe city program in cities in the Russian Federation showed that the program is designed to reduce the number of offenses and especially dangerous crimes. In addition, this program provides for the solution of issues related to the migration aspect, with the need to reduce the risks caused by man-made and natural disasters and is aimed at identifying the potential danger of objects left in public places. As part of the study, a content analysis of the blogosphere was also carried out, a secondary analysis of publications of research results carried out by scientists from the Federal research center of the Russian academy of sciences (Moscow), was carried out. Based on the results of the study, measures are proposed to reduce crime in cities.

Recruitment And Retention

Recruitment and retention of teachers in rural areas continue to dominate educational narratives across the country. School districts, state agencies, and university schools of education have instituted strategies including financial incentives, alternative standards and licensure criteria, and grow-your-own programs that target underemployed locals and paraprofessionals for accelerated licensure. While each strategy may enjoy situational success, none is a panacea for all circumstances. However, there is growing interest in the development of university and school district partnerships in creating innovative solutions to rural recruitment and retention issues. This study investigates the efficacy of a partnership between several small rural districts and a state university partnering to create and test a contextualized clinical practice model. The Montana State University rural practicum placed 13 preservice teachers in a week-long, immersive clinical practice in rural, remote schools in Montana, for them to authentically experience the rural context and for researchers to determine if such an experience might positively affect recruitment and retention efforts. The study used a community-based participatory research method to ensure equal participation of both university and rural school partners in co-creating the experience and in collecting and analyzing data. Results suggest that the rural practicum experience positively affected preservice teacher perceptions of rural teaching and rural communities. Rural school leaders and university personnel also agreed that the model held promise for recruiting and retaining teachers in rural areas.

In contemporary times, bike sharing programs are gaining importance as an influential transportation mode in both urban and rural areas. They are also used as a vital transportation mode on university campuses which serve as a healthy and environmentally-friendly transportation system. However, having an appropriate location for a bike station is important, so as to maximize the benefits of the service. This study used an origin–destination (O-D) matrix to identify appropriate bike station locations at the Morgan State University campus. The O-D matrix analysis identifies three locations Cumming Hall/University Health Center, Rawling Hall, and Center for Built Environment and Infrastructure Studies as the most appropriate locations to start a pilot, which will serve most of the campus (students, faculty, staff) and connect them to the maximum number of facilities at Morgan State University. The O-D matrix takes into account the occupancy or population of individual buildings based on enrollment over the past four years, the distance to the center of the campus where maximum facilities including the graduate and undergraduate offices are located, and the frequency of the university shuttle connecting most of the buildings. This methodology can be replicated and used on other university campuses and will help further bike sharing programs.

Culturally Diverse Learners

A need exists to prepare interpreters with specific skills to serve students who are deaf and hard of hearing in various educational settings. Specifically there is a need to prepare educational interpreters to serve students who are deaf or hard of hearing in rural areas. Educational interpreters need a comprehensive educational background as a foundation for serving students with hearing losses in rural educational settings, and as members of the educational team. A consortium was formed consisting of The University of Alabama, the University of Alabama at Birmingham, the University of Montevallo, and Jacksonville State University, for addressing this need. The goal for program participants was the demonstration of skills necessary for interpreting in inclusive rural educational settings and in working in multicultural environments with culturally diverse learners and teachers. The classes offered in this project were to have been conducted on each of the four campuses with several of the courses being offered via the interactive intercampus television system to all students on all four campuses simultaneously.

This article analyzes factors related to the rural/urban residence choice of college-educated adults using a unique data set resulting from a 2007 stratified random sample survey of Iowa State University alumni graduating between 1982 and 2006. Rural origin is the most significant predictor of rural residence choice. An important finding is that nonpecuniary goals and values such as family tradition, being respected by friends, and building a business for one’s children to inherit have more weight with Iowa State University alumni who reside in rural areas after college than do monetary returns. This implies that incentives such as tax breaks will not work, or will be too expensive, to attract or retain college graduates in rural areas. Second, entrepreneurship rates are higher among Iowa State University alumni in rural areas and rural entrepreneurs tend to have local or, at least, rural roots. This finding lends support to the increasingly popular “grow your strategies” for rural business development.

Abstract The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic is still widespread and needs to be watched out for. In government policies that implement the new normal in several places, agricultural extension workers play a very important strategic role in responding to the pandemic, especially in rural areas. This study aims to analyze the performance strategy of extension workers in assisting farmers during the pandemic in disseminating information on livestock technology innovations. The research was conducted in Barru Regency, with the sub-district location being the sample. Sources of data in this study were collected using surveys/interviews with extension workers, farmers, stakeholders, and in-depth interviews with informants. The results show that the performance strategy that can be taken in improving the performance of the extension worker in the transfer of livestock technology innovation is by increasing the competence of the instructor in the guidance carried out to overcome various problems during the implementation of the extension program and improve innovation, communication and extension methods according to the needs of farmers and support from government agencies. Therefore, it is expected to improve the performance of agricultural extension workers by increasing the extension budget and improving extension facilities and infrastructure so that farmers can adopt agricultural/livestock technology innovations provided by extension workers to increase livestock productivity, increase farmer income and welfare.
