STUDY OBJECTIVE. A growing body of evidence has highlighted the unique threat that communities adjacent to coal ash impoundments, like Xxxxxxxx, face. The metal composition of coal ash and its permeability into groundwater is an urgent public health concern, especially for communities that rely on private xxxxx for water. A great deal of research has been done to understand how exposure to metals impacts health and the dangers of emissions from coal- fired power plants. However, few investigations have explored the association between coal ash impoundments and ground water contamination, and even fewer have sought to understand well contamination near coal ash impoundments. This study will first seek to understand the extent to which private xxxxx in Xxxxxxxx, GA are contaminated with metals. This will be followed by an examination of whether spatial factors, including distance and elevation, are contributing to well contamination.
STUDY OBJECTIVE. Considering the motivation and drive in healthcare to better assess, manage, and treat physical inactivity, it is imperative to understand how healthcare professionals, in particular PTs, are educated on this topic. Furthermore, given that no review of Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) educational curricula in regard to PA has been completed, this leaves a literature gap that we are seeking to fill. This study is intended to better understand PA educational requirements in DPT curricula in the United States. The purpose is to evaluate program director perspectives on DPT curricula pertaining to three large components of PA: benefits, assessment, and prescription. Secondary factors being evaluated include health promotion within curricula, behavioral change factors, and perceptions of PA including opinion, confidence and practice of healthy lifestyles. The question purportedly to be answered through this academic endeavor is: Is PA, from a public health perspective, included and taught in United States DPT programs, and if so, to what extent? Further, we hope to explore the perception of PA held by academic directors of these institutions. The potential significance of this study is to identify PA training— either gaps or strengths — with a secondary significance of redirecting long-term educative focuses on PA and sustainability of patient health. The results of this study will highlight training gaps to subsequently be filled through curricular development of PA benefits, assessment, prescription in entry-level DPT programs across the United States. Should study results reveal otherwise, it will serve as a demonstration of the knowledge PTs possess, with which they may use to identify at- risk patients, and treat physically inactive patients, along the continuum of targeting the growing burden of NCDs in the United States. While programs and research exist addressing PA across other healthcare settings, the significance of understanding current education levels specific to DPT curricula will better guide program and curricular development. PTs are experts in the science of human movement and have a unique ability to be primary providers of preventative health for PA assessment, prescription, and referral in an overall effort to reduce the burden of chronic diseases. This may also act as an avenue to advocate to other health care professions of the expertise PTs possess relative to PA and its interaction with the musculoskeletal system. Furthermore, assessi...
STUDY OBJECTIVE. Under Section 38.2.7 of MISO’s Tariff, SSR procedures maintain system reliability by providing a mechanism for MISO to enter into agreements with Market Participants (MP) that own or operate Generation Resources or Synchronous Condenser Units (SCUs) that have requested to either Retire or Suspend, but are required to maintain system reliability. The principal objective of an Attachment Y study is to determine if the unit(s) for which a change in status requested is necessary for system reliability based on the criteria set forth in the MISO Business Practices Manuals. The study work included monitoring and identifying the steady state branch/voltage violations on transmission facilities due to the unavailability of the Generation Resource or SCU. The relevant MISO Transmission Owner(s) and/or regional reliability criteria are used for monitoring such violations. The purpose of this study is to assess the reliability impacts from the suspension of Rush Island 1 and 2 located in Festus, MO effective September 1, 2022. 2022WP_RUSH_ISLAND_OFF Winter Peak 2022 OFF SCED P1,P2,P4,P5,P7, Selected P3, P6 2022WP_RUSH_ISLAND_ON Winter Peak 2022 ON SCED + Scale P1,P2,P4,P5,P7, Selected P3, P6
