COVID-19 profoundly impacted consumer behavior and psychology; this impact is perceived in social habits and shopping changes. Online stores have successfully boosted their sales, to the detriment of retail stores. This article aims to provide statistical analysis and evaluate consumers’ buying behavior by age groups toward retail and online stores for showing recommendations at online store entrepreneurs and retail store owners; thus, optimize costs and have higher sales projections. The methodology used is based on statistical data from various sources and databases such as Statista, United States Census Bureau, and international organizations, contrasted with the information obtained from 314 surveys conducted with consumers in different cities of the United States. In this study, statistical data and surveys upon groups of people were between twenty-two (22) to eighty (80) years old were analyzed. As a result, an increase in online shopping preferences was obtained, where the youngest population group leads the consumption in virtual platforms due to their familiarity with technology. In conclusion, there is a significant increase in online shopping, which is exacerbated by the pandemic.

Abstract Background Antibiotic-nonsusceptible invasive pneumococcal disease (NS-IPD) in the United States declined dramatically following the introduction of pneumococcal conjugative vaccines (7-valent, PCV7 in 2000, replaced by the 13-valent, PCV13 in 2010). We evaluated the long-term impact of PCV13 on NS-IPD. Methods IPD cases were identified through CDC’s Active Bacterial Core surveillance during 2005−2018. We applied 2012 Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute breakpoints to minimum inhibitory concentrations determined by broth microdilution (2005−2014) or whole genome sequencing (2015−2018) and classified non-susceptible isolates as those intermediate or resistant to ≥1 antibiotic class. Isolates were serotyped and classified as PCV13 or non-vaccine type (NVT). Incidence rates (cases per 100,000) were calculated using United States Census Bureau population denominators. Results From 2005 to 2018, NS IPD incidence decreased from 8.5 to 3.2 among children < 5 years old and from 13.0 to 9.4 among adults ≥ 65 years old. Incidence of vaccine-type NS-IPD decreased in all age groups (Figure 1), while incidence of NVT NS-IPD increased in all age groups (Figure 2). The greatest absolute increase in NVT NS-IPD occurred among adults ≥ 65 years from 4.7 in 2005 to 7.2 in 2018. PCV13 serotypes contributed to 62% of NS-IPD (36% of NS-IPD caused by serotype 19A alone) in 2005−2009, and 27% of NS-IPD in 2014−18 (8% of NS-IPD caused by 19A). During 2014–18, NVTs 35B (11%), 33F (9%), 22F (9%), and 15A (9%) were the most common NS-IPD serotypes. Figure 1. Incidence of vaccine type antibiotic non-susceptible invasive pneumococcal disease by age group, 2005−2018. Figure 2. Incidence of non-vaccine type antibiotic non-susceptible invasive pneumococcal disease by age group, 2005−2018. Conclusion NS-IPD incidence decreased following PCV13 use in the United States, driven by reductions in PCV13 serotypes. Recent increases in NVT NS-IPD, most pronounced among older adults, have started to erode PCV impact on NS-IPD. PCVs in development that contain serotypes 22F and 33F could help to further reduce NS-IPD.

Teen Childbearing

Teen birth rates vary widely across counties in the United States. in this study, we examine whether the religious composition of a county is correlated with the rate of teen childbearing using both a traditional moral communities approach and a “decomposed” version of that framework. Utilizing 2000 data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the United States Census Bureau, and the Religious Congregation and Membership Survey, we find that the total percentage of religious adherents in a county is not significantly correlated with the teen birth rate. However, when we decompose the Christian population into major denominational groupings, we find the percentage of evangelical Protestants in a county is positively associated with the teen birth rate while the percentage of Catholics is negatively associated with teen childbearing. Possible explanations for the association between religious context and teen birth rates are discussed, as well as their policy and research implications.

The Difference

Do levels of daily sunlight exposure have a measurable effect on peoples’ health? I used to live in Michiganwhere it is cloudy seemingly every day. This is drastically different from Texas, where the sun is almost alwaysshining. It is well known that an increase in sunlight exposure can drastically affect one’s mood; when looking atcloudy areas versus areas full of sunshine, the difference in overall happiness and rates of depression can bequite dramatic. Another factor to consider is that spending more time in direct sunlight can help with vitaminD synthesis. Low vitamin D levels can lead to all sorts of health problems, demonstrating that having directsun exposure has the potential to be very influential in one’s health. To investigate whether sunlight can have ameasurable impact on peoples’ health and life expectancies, I collected data on average life expectancies andreported happiness levels for all 50 U.S. States, as well as over 70 cities within the United States. These citieswere grouped together using K-means clustering to control for confounding variables, and then analyzed. Thisallowed for an accurate representation of whether sunlight really does affect one’s health or not. Data came fromthe United States Census Bureau, the CDC, and other reliable sources. This research highlights how certainclimate areas can affect our health, happiness, and overall life expectancy.

Enormous Number

Disability is an inescapable element of human existence and experience. Although it is rarely acknowledged as such, it is also a fundamental aspect of human diversity. It is so, first, in the sense that, worldwide, an enormous number of people are disabled. The proportion of disabled people in different national populations varies significantly with factors such as economic development, quality and availability of health care, and the age distribution of the population. (In the United States, people with disabilities make up the population's largest minority: Census 2000 found nearly twenty percent of the population over five years of age to be affected by some sort of disability [United States, Census Bureau].) Furthermore, because of the way this minority is constituted, it is arguably more diverse than those of race, gender, class, and sexual orientation. Disabilities may affect one's senses or one's mobility; they may be static or progressive, congenital or acquired, formal (affecting the shape of the body) or functional, visible or invisible.

Age Adjusted Rates

We describe trends in cell phone-related injuries in patients 21 years of age and under presenting to United States Emergency Departments. We calculated age-adjusted rates of cell phone-related injury per 100 000 individuals using data from the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS) database and United States Census Bureau. From 2002 to 2015, an estimated 38 063 patients 21 years old and younger sustained a cell phone-related injury. The overall rate of injuries for all ages increased from 17.1 injuries per 100 000 in 2002 to 138 injuries per 100 000 in 2015, an increase of over 700%. The incidence of cell phone-related injuries increased across all age groups, with children 2 years of age and under experiencing the highest single incidence rate of 159 injuries per 100 000 in 2014. These findings highlight an important and relatively under-reported pediatric safety issue. Anticipatory guidance and injury prevention plans should be updated accordingly.

This article is written specifically for recent graduates of Speech-Language Pathology programs or clinicians with little experience in providing voice therapy for the approximately 88 million people in the United States who will suffer from a voice disorder in their lifetime (Cohen, Kim, Roy, Asche, & Courey, 2012; Roy, Merrill, Gray, & Smith, 2005; United States Census Bureau, n.d.). Voice therapy is a patient-centered treatment paradigm used to modify behaviors that cause and/or contribute to voice disorders. A critical need exists to train novice clinicians to perform voice therapy who may, or may not, have had dedicated training in their academic programs and/or Clinical Fellowship (CF). The article is divided into the following sections: (1) Appropriate Referrals for Voice Therapy, (2). A Voice Therapy Framework, (3) Scientific Rationale for Differing Voice Therapy Techniques, and (4) When to Discharge Patients from Voice Therapy.

China English (CE) is the fastest growing variety of English in the world. While some estimate that there are between 200–400 million learners of English in mainland China, other researchers put the numbers between 440–650 million (cf. Bolton & Graddol, 2012; He & Zhang, 2010). Although not all learners of English in China will become active users of English, the numbers above are staggering, especially if we consider that the population of the United States is currently 319 million (United States Census Bureau, 2014). As Kirkpatrick (2007: 151) notes, CE is ‘soon likely to be the most commonly spoken variety of English in Asia’. One could argue that, judging by the numbers given above, CE will become the most commonly spoken variety of English in the world.

2008 Presidential Election

The region identified as the "South" arguably has been and continues to be the most politically interesting and analyzed region in the United States. Using election results and county maps of the eleven southern states, this study provides a spatial analysis of the counties in this region. Through the use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS), this study analyzes the 2008 presidential election using counties as the unit of analysis within these states. This exploratory study will provide data as to which candidate won each county as well as a "landslide" county map that denotes counties that supported a candidate by a margin of twenty percent or more. This study will also investigate the difference in county-level voting between the 2004 and 2008 election to see how the preferences of the electorates changed. Finally, a contextual analysis, using data gathered from the United States Census Bureau will identify county population demographics that help explain voting behavior as well as the change in vote between 2004 and 2008.
