This study analyzed the internal determining factors in ginger exports to the United States, being a controversial issue at the international level, due to the demand for exports of multiple products; to describe the internal factors that influence the success of ginger exports and making known the relationship with each of these, concerning the exported quantity, whether the result is favorable or not. The focus of this study is quantitative; it was based on the multiple linear regression model applied to our sample, which is the United States. Numerical data of ginger exports, export price, production volume, Investment in technology and innovation in trade, and exported value of Trademap during the period 2006 - 2020 were obtained. Through the econometric model, it was obtain that there is a direct relationship significant between the export price and the exported quantity (p < 0.05), that is; the greater the quantity of ginger exported, the lower the export price, and the higher the production volume, the greater the quantity of ginger exported (p < 0.05), the greater the investment in technology and innovation in trade, the greater the quantity exported (p < 0.05). These results provide accurate information for medium and large exporting companies of agricultural products, farmers, producers; the results show the key factors that lead to the success of Peruvian ginger exports.

Kepiting/rajungan merupakan salah satu komoditas ekspor perikanan yang terus meningkat permintaannya. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis permintaan ekspor kepiting/rajungan olahan Indonesia ke Amerika Serikat sebagai pasar tujuan utama. Data yang digunakan adalah data sekunder, yaitu data harga ekspor kepiting/rajungan Indonesia ke Amerika Serikat, volume produksi kepiting/rajungan di dalam negeri, dan nilai tukar rupiah terhadap dolar Amerika Serikat. Data tersebut diperoleh dari UN-Comtrade, Kementerian Kelautan dan Perikanan (KKP), dan Badan Pusat Statistik (BPS). Metode analisis data yang digunakan adalah ekonometrika dinamis dengan pendekatan Error Correction Model (ECM). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa variabel yang memiliki pengaruh terhadap permintaan ekspor kepiting/rajungan Indonesia ke Amerika Serikat pada jangka pendek adalah harga ekspor dan volume produksi di dalam negeri dengan nilai koefisien masing-masing sebesar -0.7818 dan 0.5270. Pada jangka panjang, variabel yang berpengaruh adalah harga ekspor kepiting/rajungan Indonesia ke Amerika Serikat dengan nilai koefisien sebesar - 0.7938. Upaya peningkatan volume ekspor kepiting/rajungan Indonesia ke Amerika Serikat dapat dilakukan dengan kebijakan melalui usaha nelayan dan perbaikan mekanisme rantai pasok (foodchains) yang berdampak menurunkan harga ekspor kepiting/rajungan Indonesia ke Amerika Serikat dan perbaikan kualitas produksi kepiting/rajungan di Indonesia. Selain itu, seiring dengan meningkatnya permintaan kepiting/rajungan di Amerika Serikat dapat memberikan peluang bagi Indonesia untuk meningkatkan ekspor kepiting/rajungan ke Amerika Serikat.Title: Determinants of Demand for Indonesian Export of Processed Crabs to the United States: An Error Correction Model ApproachCrab is one of fishery export commodity that has continuing increase in demand. This study aimed to analyze demand for Indonesian processed crab exports to the United States as the main destination market. Data used are secondary data, namely data on export price of Indonesian crabs to the United States, the volume of domestic crab production, and exchange rate of the rupiah against the US dollar. Data was obtained from UN-Comtrade, Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries (KKP), and Central Statistics Agency (BPS). Data were analyzed using dynamic econometrics method with the Error Correction Model (ECM) approach. Variables of the study are export price of Indonesian crab to the United States, production volume of crab in Indonesia, and exchange rate of rupiah against United States dollar. The results showed that export prices and domestic production volume are variables influencing demand for Indonesian crab exports to the United States in the short term with coefficient value of -0.7818 and 0.5270 respectively. In the long term, the influencing variables is domestic production volume with coefficient value of 0.7938. Export volume to the United States could be increased through policy on fishing effort and supply chain mechanism improvement that resulted in the decrease of export prices and improved quality of the crabs. In addition, the increasing number of crab demand in the United States provides opportunities for Indonesia to increase crab exports to the United States.

This literature review summarizes research on member influence in cooperatives conducted in Scandinavia and some of the research conducted in West Germany. The review divides the contents of member influence into three components; individual factors, the cooperative organization’s internal factors and the organization’s external factors. As individual factors, participation, representation and representativeness are considered. Conflicts in cooperative organizations, the effect of the growth of the organization and the rules of decision making are discussed as organizations internal factors. The major interest groups in addition to members (the market, personnel and the society) are presented as external factors. The external factors are increasingly challenging the nature of cooperatives as member interest organizations.

Pseudoscorpions are minute animals only a few millimeters long, with the general appearance of diminutive scorpions except that they have no tails. They belong to the large phylum of joint-legged animals, the Arthropoda, and to the class Arachnida. which, in addition to the pseudoscorpions, embraces the spiders, mites, ticks, scorpions, and other related groups. Pseudoscorpions are seclusive in habit, occurring in soil cover and rotten logs, under bark, and in similar places out of doors: one species is found in houses. In their natural habitat, these little brown animals arc difficult to see. especially when they draw in their legs and "play possum." In this position they look like little specks of dirt. Probably because pseudoscorpions are inconspicuous, few collections of the group have been made in the past, and the fauna, at least of North America, and especially of the central and north-central United States, has remained scantily known. The object of this report is twofold, first to present illustrated keys and descriptions for the identification of species in this region, and, secondly, to summarize information regarding the distribution, biology, and habitat preferences of the species. As an aid in use of the keys, a section has been included on morphology, in which the structures now considered of major taxonomic importance are explained. Summarizing the distribution has been especially difficult because many identifications made prior to Chamberlin's work are probably incorrect and should be rechecked before they are cited. Because of this situation there is little accurate information to serve as a guide in foretelling what additional described species may be collected in Illinois. In order to make this report of wide application, the keys have been made to include all the genera known from the central and northeastern portions of the United States and adjacent portions of Canada.

The United States experienced local transmission of West Nile Virus (WNV) for the first time in 1999, and Zika Virus (ZIKV) in 2016. These introductions captured the public’s attention in varying degrees. The research presented here analyzes the disproportional perception of ZIKV risk compared to WNV transmission risk, by the public and vector control personnel. The risk perception of vector control was measured through purposive sampled interviews (24 interviews in 13 states; May 2020–June 2021), while the public’s perception was estimated from news publications (January 2000–December 2020), and Google searches (January 2004–December 2020). Over time, we observed a decrease in the frequency of press reporting and Google searches of both viruses with decreasing annual peaks in the summer. The highest peak of ZIKV news, and searches, surpassed that of WNV. We observed clear differences in the contents of the headlines for both viruses. We propose that the main reason in risk perception differences between the viruses were psychological. Zika infections (mosquito-borne and sexually transmitted) can result in devastating symptoms in fetuses and newborns, observations that frequently appeared in ZIKV-related headlines. Our results highlight the likely influence the news media has on risk perception and the need for public health agencies to play active roles in the conversation, helping disseminate timely and accurate information. Understanding the factors that shape risk perceptions of vector-borne diseases will hopefully lead to better use of resources by providing better guidance.

Although no numerical data are available, the most common techniques for performing newborn circumcision in the United States involve the use of the Plastibell, the Gomco clamp, and the Mogen clamp, likely in that order. The Mogen clamp (see Fig 1 and 2) is the least familiar to most pediatricians. It has a number of advantages when compared with the other techniques: 1. the one size of the Mogen fits all; 2. it is the most rapid; 3. the Mogen instrument allows full visualization of exactly how much prepuce to remove. In Mogen circumcision however, the glans is not visualized before removal of the prepuce.

Current and future requirements of petroleum have produced a strong demand for American personnel, equipment and techniques to be employed in the world‐wide search for oil. Different, and sometimes much more difficult conditions are frequently encountered from those customarily met in the exploration for oil in the United States. A brief consideration of some of these factors is the purpose of this paper. It is concluded that while careful preliminary planning and the design of equipment in the light of accurate information on conditions to be encountered are highly vital factors, the demonstrated and trustworthy character of the personnel conducting the operations is the biggest guarantee of success in the undertaking.

Canada, as a country with a small, open economy, faces the immediate challenge of learning to shape dynamic comparative advantage in the emerging international economy. About 75 % of Canada's trade linkages are with the United States, and a very large component of the Canadian experience of « globalization » is driven by North American economic integration. This integration is taking place in the absence of institutions and policy mechanisms to promote and manage science, technology, and innovation relations on a continental scale. Bilateral s & T arrangements centered on the United States presently characterize the North American innovation System. Circumstances in North America pose three sets of challenges to Canadian s & T policy. 1) Science and technology are increasing in importance in international trade, environmental, and social/cultural matters. This means that Canada must learn to improve its management of an increasingly internationalized domestic s & T System. 2) Canada must cultivate mutually beneficial bilateral s & T relationships with its two partners in NAFTA, Mexico and the United States. 3) Canada must identify where its interests lie in the development and governance of trilateral and international rules and arrangements for science, technology, and innovation.

Abstract Tickborne diseases are an increasing public health threat in the United States. Prevention and diagnosis of tickborne diseases are improved by access to current and accurate information on where medically important ticks and their associated human and veterinary pathogens are present, their local abundance or prevalence, and when ticks are actively seeking hosts. The true extent of tick and tickborne pathogen expansion is poorly defined, in part because of a lack of nationally standardized tick surveillance. We surveyed 140 vector-borne disease professionals working in state, county, and local public health and vector control agencies to assess their 1) tick surveillance program objectives, 2) pathogen testing methods, 3) tick control practices, 4) data communication strategies, and 5) barriers to program development and operation. Fewer than half of respondents reported that their jurisdiction was engaged in routine, active tick surveillance, but nearly two-thirds reported engaging in passive tick surveillance. Detection of tick presence was the most commonly stated current surveillance objective (76.2%). Most of the programs currently supporting tick pathogen testing were in the Northeast (70.8%), Upper and Central Midwest (64.3%), and the West (71.4%) regions. The most common pathogens screened for were Rickettsia spp. (Rickettsiales: Rickettsiaceae) and bacterial and viral agents transmitted by Ixodes (Acari: Ixodidae) ticks. Only 12% of respondents indicated their jurisdiction directly conducts or otherwise financially supports tick control. Responses indicated that their ability to expand the capacity of tick surveillance and control programs was impeded by inconsistent funding, limited infrastructure, guidance on best practices, and institutional capacity to perform these functions.
