Legendre inversions and Ultra-hypergeometric series identities

In this paper, we extension of hypergeometric series to obtain a new α-hypergeometric series, we establish three terminating Ultra-hypergeometric series identities, by means of Legendre inverse series relations. By using the linear combination between these three identities, we can obtain new terminating Ultra-hypergeometric series identities

Um estudo da mobilidade da cidade de Joinville baseado no indice de mobilidade urbana sustentável

TCC(graduação) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina. Campus Joinville. Bacharelado Interdisciplinar em Mobilidade.Neste estudo da mobilidade sobre a cidade de Joinville realizou-se um breve levantamento acerca dos problemas envolvendo a mobilidade na cidade. Verificou-se que a captura e boa organização da informação sobre a situação da mobilidade no município na forma de indicadores serviria como importante recurso para a tomada de decisões que beneficiem a mobilidade urbana da comunidade. Assim, com base nas pesquisas desenvolvidas no Brasil pelos pesquisadores da Escola de Engenharia de São Carlos – USP, apresenta-se o IMUS (Índice de Mobilidade Urbana Sustentável) como um indicador relevante a ser calculado para a cidade de Joinville por sua abrangência de escopo e aceitabilidade no cenário nacional. O presente estudo agrega princípios que servirão para o completo cálculo do IMUS para Joinville e outros estudos de engenharia da mobilidade sobre este e outros núcleos urbanos

Active Living after Cancer: adaptation and Evaluation of a Community-Based Physical activity Program For Minority and Medically Underserved Breast Cancer Survivors

BACKGROUND: An expanding body of research documents the benefits of physical activity for cancer survivors\u27 physical functioning and quality of life, but few successful models provide community-based physical activity programs to cancer survivors. This report presents an evaluation of Active Living After Cancer, an evidence-based physical activity program for breast cancer survivors, adapted for community delivery to minority and medically underserved survivors. METHODS: Survivors were recruited from health care and community settings. The program consisted of 12 weekly group sessions providing training in cognitive and behavioral skills for behavior change, brief physical activity, and cancer survivorship-related content. At the baseline and follow-up, participants completed assessments of their physical activity, quality of life, and physical functioning (6-minute walk and 30-second sit-to-stand test). At follow-up, they also completed questionnaires to measure program content mastery and satisfaction. RESULTS: The outcome analysis included 127 participants. Physical activity and quality of life (mental and physical) improved from the baseline to follow-up (all P \u3c .01). Physical functioning improved, with increases in sit-to-stand repetitions (mean, 12.5 at the baseline vs 14.9 at the follow-up; P \u3c .01) and 6-minute walk distances (mean, 428 m at the baseline vs 470 m at the follow-up; P \u3c .01). CONCLUSIONS: The results highlight the effectiveness of an evidence-based program adapted for community-based delivery to minority and medically underserved breast cancer survivors. The program could be delivered to improve outcomes in diverse survivor populations. LAY SUMMARY: Physical activity in breast cancer survivors is related to better quality of life and longer cancer-free survival. However, there are few community-based programs to help breast cancer survivors to become more physically active. The Active Living After Cancer program was adapted from an evidence-based program and delivered in community-based settings to minority and medically underserved breast cancer survivors. It consisted of 12 weekly group sessions in which participants learned skills to increase their physical activity. The program participants increased their physical activity and improved their mental and physical well-being and physical functioning

Know Your Value: Negotiation Skill Development for Junior Investigators in the Academic Environment—A Report from the American Society of Preventive Oncology\u27s Junior Members Interest Group

The American Society of Preventive Oncology (ASPO) is a professional society for multidisciplinary investigators in cancer prevention and control. One of the aims of ASPO is to enable investigators at all levels to create new opportunities and maximize their success. One strategy adopted by ASPO was to develop the Junior Members Interest Group in 1999. The Interest Group membership includes predoctoral fellows, postdoctoral fellows, and junior faculty members who are provided career development and training opportunities (1). Responsibilities of the members of the Junior Members Interest Group include serving on the ASPO Executive Committee and the Program Planning Committee and organizing professional development sessions at ASPO\u27s annual meeting. As part of the 2014 ASPO annual meeting, the Junior Members Interest Group organized a session entitled “Negotiation Skill Development for Junior Investigators in the Academic Environment.” This interactive session was designed to provide early-career investigators an opportunity to practice their negotiation skills and to receive expert advice and strategies to effectively negotiate new faculty positions in an academic environment. The session focused primarily on negotiating an initial academic appointment from a graduate student or postdoctoral fellow to an assistant professor–level position. In addition to the main focus, the session also covered renegotiation for assistant and associate-level investigators as they navigate through their careers. The session began with an interactive exercise led by Dr. Stephanie A.N. Silvera (Associate Professor of Public Health, Montclair State University, Montclair, NJ) where participants engaged in a mock salary negotiation session with another member of the audience (Table 1). Following the negotiation exercise, Dr. Silvera led a debriefing session. Next, four panelists at different levels in their academic careers were invited to provide their personal perspectives on the topic of effective negotiation: Dr. Faith Fletcher (Assistant Professor of Community Health Sciences, the University of Illinois at Chicago, Chicago, IL) to provide the perspective of a first-year faculty member; Dr. Stephanie A.N. Silvera (Associate Professor of Public Health, Montclair State University, Montclair, NJ) to provide the perspective of a recently tenured faculty member; Dr. Karen Basen-Engquist (Professor of Behavioral Science and Director of the Center for Energy Balance, University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, TX) to provide the perspective of a senior faculty member; and Dr. Peter G. Shields (Professor and Deputy Director of the Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, Columbus, OH) to provide the perspective of a senior faculty member with extensive experience on the employer side of an academic appointment negotiation. This report summarizes the main themes that emerged from the negotiation exercise debriefing, the speakers\u27 advice and recommendations, and responses to audience questions during the session
