Born in Salinas, Puerto Rico, William Oritz was raised in New York City. He studied composition at the Conservatory of Music of Puerto Rico under Héctor Campos Parsi and Amaury Veray. He holds a master’s degree from SUNY at Stony Brook (1976), where his professors included Billy Jim Layton and Bülent Arel, and a PhD from SUNY at Buffalo (1983), where Lejaren Hiller and Morton Feldman were his professors. Ortiz served as assistant director of Black Mountain College II, NY, also teaching composition and music theory at the school. He has held the position of chair of the department of humanities and has served as band conductor for the University of Puerto Rico at Bayamón. As a music critic he has contributed to The San Juan Star. Among his many works Oritz has completed commissions for the Casals Festival, the Guitar Society of Toronto, the Puerto Rico Symphony Orchestra, and the New York State Council of the Arts. His approach to composition is characterized by an eclectic adoption of popular and urban music genres as part of his compositional palette. Early on he incorporated elements from urban street music, found mostly in the Latino and Black neighbourhoods of New York City and in the poorer neighbourhoods of San Juan, as reflected in Street Music (1980), Graffiti Nuyorican (1983), De Barrio Obrero a la Quince (1986), and Bolero and Hip-Hop en Myrtle Avenue (1986).

La migración dominicana, como fenómeno social de masa, tiene su origen en la instauración y consolidación de la férrea dictadura (1930-1961) y muerte violenta del dictador Rafael Leonidas Trujillo (30 mayo 1961), la guerra civil e invasión norteamericana de 1965, la apertura de los Estados Unidos a los migrantes no europeos, la llegada y el fortalecimiento en el poder de Joaquín Balaguer (1966-1978), el crecimiento poblacional y la crisis de la industria azucarera en la década de los ochenta El éxodo masivo de los nacionales dominicanos estuvo orientado específicamente hacia Puerto Rico y los Estados Unidos de América, sobre todo hacia la ciudad de New York. Es aquí donde la migración, en cuanto fenómeno dinámico, facilita o hace posible, en un proceso constante de cambios, la transformación del migrante dominicano, quien por encima de la distancia y las fronteras geográficas, logra mantener lazos estrechos con su país de origen, acercándose cada vez más a su tierra natal, raíces, cultura y tradiciones. El Transnacionalismo, pues, lejos de provocar el olvido y el desamor por los suyos y su pequeño terruño, acrecienta, por el contrario, la solidaridad y la dominicanidad.

ABSTRACTObjective:Syndromic surveillance has been useful for routine surveillance on a variety of health outcomes and for informing situational awareness during public health emergencies. Following the landfall of Hurricane Maria in 2017, the New York City (NYC) Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) implemented an enhanced syndromic surveillance system to characterize related emergency department (ED) visits.Methods:ED visits with any mention of specific key words (“Puerto,” “Rico,” “hurricane,” “Maria”) in the ED chief complaint or Puerto Rico patient home Zip Code were identified from the DOHMH syndromic surveillance system in the 8-week window leading up to and following landfall. Visit volume comparisons pre- and post-Hurricane Maria were performed using Fisher’s exact test.Results:Analyses identified an overall increase in NYC ED utilization relating to Puerto Rico following Hurricane Maria landfall. In particular, there was a small but significant increase in visits involving a medication refill or essential medical equipment. Visits for other outcomes, such as mental illness, also increased, but the differences were not statistically significant.Conclusions:Gaining this situational awareness of medical service use was informative following Hurricane Maria, and, following any natural disaster, the same surveillance methods could be easily established to aid an effective emergency response.

Heights of 12-year-old Puerto Rican boys attending New York City schools are influenced by place of birth and number of years residence in New York. As would be expected from other population studies, Puerto Rican boys born in New York are taller than boys born in Puerto Rico. However, in addition, boys who came to New York after the age of 6 years demonstrate a highly significant regression relationship between height at age 12 and years of residence in New York.
