WATER CRISIS IN DALIT LITERAURE : FICTION AND REALITY

Caste is a stigma in Indian society and has hampered its growth. Because of this, a section of society has perpetually dictated the lower castes. The upper caste has tormented Dalits economically and socially for primary needs such as water, an essential need for both humans and animals. The upper castes have forbidden the right to water to a lower caste. The upper classes felt that a touch of Dalit would contaminate the water. If a Dalit happened to trod into a pond, the Indian priest had to sanctify the defiled water with a yajna. This situation led to many heart-rending casualties. This paper will investigate how the denial of even the fundamental right to water has rendered trouble in the lives of Dalits in India. Though the Dalit leaders had launched Satyagraha for Dalits to use a public tank in Maharashtra, the upper caste Hindus banned, the lower caste Hindus' access to water bodies. The present study will shed light on water issues, specifically in Dalit literature by non-Dalit writers. Do upper caste Hindus still keep separate water bodies for themselves? To what degree have progressive writers displayed it in their writings?

Світовий досвід налагодження та розбудови системи державного управління процесами цифровізації: інституційний базис і ресурсне забезпечення

The aim of the article is to generalize the global experience of setting up and developing a system of public administration of digitalization processes, focusing on the institutional basis and resource provision. Analyzing, systematizing and summarizing the scientific works of numerous scholars, also taking into account the dynamic trends of deepening globalization and neo-industrialization, conclusions are drawn about the constant development and active use of new mechanisms and means by highly developed countries in the implementation of digital transformation of the economy. As a result of the study, it was found that the system of public management of digitalization processes is built in accordance with the established institutional basis (existing regulatory framework; adopted strategies, target programs, conceptions, projects). On the example of numerous highly developed countries, the progressive spread of e-government in the system of public regulation of the digital transformation of the economy is underlined, which provides for the transfer of a number of administrative services to the information and communication format, the creation of a system of electronic interaction of public authorities, the formation of digital platforms for communication of the regular people, business, and the State institutions. It is emphasized that despite the absence of separate bodies in the system of the State power, some countries create non-government institutions to organize the digital transformation of the economy. It is proved that an important structural component of the national policy of digitalization is resource provision, and first of all, the accumulation of financial and investment resources through investment funds (agencies), banking structures, credit organizations, and other institutions. The priority object of the State policy for the development of the digital economy sector is considered to be institutional and infrastructural support. In this context, an important role of research structures in the development of digitalization of the economy is highlighted. Prospects for further research in this direction should be considered to determine, in accordance with the successful experience of highly developed countries, other priority areas of public regulation of the digital economy sector, taking into account organizational, economic, technological, and other features of digital development.

Moral metaphysics as philosophy of culture in Tu Weiming’s Boston Сonfucianism

New Confucianism is a philosophical movement which seeks to combine Confucian tradition with Western philosophical thoughts. The idea appeared to some extent due to ideological motives. For instance, New Confucian Mou Zongsan formulated the concept of moral metaphysics, which was supposed to compete with Kantian transcendentalism. Moral metaphysics is further developed by Mou Zongsan’s follower Tu Weiming, who belongs to Boston school of New Confucianism. His moral metaphysics is essentially different from that of Mou Zongsan. It is based on the notion of “self-enlightenment” (cheng). It presents an idea that in some cases interpretation can serve as a research method and be more precise than analysis. The focus of investigation is not the way how something first emerged and developed, but how it was examined and interpreted afterwards. In other words, the key to understanding is the “second birth” of things which happens during the interpretation. But to interpret correctly, we should possess the full knowledge of “ourselves”. However, “oneself ” also turns out to be not a separate body subject to analysis, but an aggregation of interpretations offered by others. The drawn conclusion is that everything exists only when it has an opportunity to interpret oneself during interaction. And in this sense “self-enlightenment”, according to Tu Weiming, is a “certain form of metaphysics”. This article, however, suggests narrowing this conclusion to cultural existence. Unlike Mou Zongsan, Tu Weiming does not intend to prove that the Chinese philosophical thinking is better than the Western one. We can view his moral metaphysics as a certain type of philosophy of culture. It does not offer a precise analytical approach, but it does present a certain pattern of thought, which deals with embracing the form of one’s cultural existence.

Sleep quality moderates the association between family bereavement and heart rate variability.

Two separate bodies of literature point to the link between family bereavement and cardiovascular health and between sleep quality and cardiovascular outcomes. However, less is known about the joint influence of family bereavement and sleep quality on cardiovascular functioning. The aims of this study were to examine the relationships between experiencing the death of a family member and heart rate variability (HRV) and to further explore whether these associations differ by sleep quality. Using data from the Midlife in the United States (MIDUS) Biomarker Project, the sample for this study included respondents who experienced the death of an immediate family member - father, mother, spouse, sibling, or child - within a year before the Biomarker project and those who did not experience any deaths (N = 962). We used two measures of HRV and sleep quality was measured using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Results showed that experiencing the death of a family member was associated with worse HRV only among those with poor sleep quality and not for those with good sleep quality. These results suggest that poor sleep quality may indicate psychophysiological vulnerability for those who experienced the death of a family member. Interventions to improve sleep quality could be effective in enhancing cardiovascular health of bereaved individuals.

TEKNIK KIMIA DITINJAU DARI PERSPEKTIF FILSAFAT SAINS, FILSAFAT KIMIA DAN FILSAFAT ENGINEERING

Chemical engineering emerged in the early 20th century as a separate body of knowledge that could guide the design and operation of plants. More specifically chemical engineering is the body of knowledge about the design of process plants for producing chemicals or other products whose production involves chemical transformations. Chemical engineering has an important relationship with science, even though this relationship is very different from the usual picture. Although chemical engineering dates back more than 100 years. However, there are still many ordinary people, especially high school or vocational school graduates who will continue their education to a higher level, still feel confused about what chemical engineering is. This study was made with the aim of introducing Chemical engineering further by examining Chemical engineering from the perspective of philosophy of science, philosophy of chemistry and philosophy of engineering. From the results of the study it can be concluded that chemical engineering is a complex field of science consisting of many components such as chemistry, physics, mathematics, mechanics, art, social sciences. All of these components synergize and complement each other in the field of chemical engineering so as to produce reliable engineers who will be ready to face any challenges.

Facilitating Large-Amplitude Motions of Wave Energy Converters in OpenFOAM by a modified Mesh Morphing Approach

High-fidelity simulations using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) for wave-body interaction are becoming increasingly common and important for wave energy converter (WEC) design. The open source finite volume toolbox OpenFOAM is one of the most frequently used platforms for wave energy. There are currently two ways to account for moving bodies in OpenFOAM: (i) mesh morphing, where the mesh deforms around the body; and (ii) an overset mesh method where a separate body mesh moves on top of a background mesh. Mesh morphing is computationally efficient but may introduce highly deformed cells for combinations of large translational and rotational motions. The overset method allows for arbitrarily large body motions and retains the quality of the mesh. However, it comes with a substantial increase in computational cost and possible loss of energy conservation due to the interpolation. In this paper we present a straightforward extension of the spherical linear interpolation (SLERP) based mesh morphing algorithm that increase the stability range of the method. The mesh deformation is allowed to be interpolated independently for different modes of motion, which facilitates tailored mesh motion simulations. The paper details the implementation of the method and evaluates its performance with computational examples of a cylinder with a moonpool. The examples show that the modified mesh morphing approach handles large motions well and provides a cost effective alternative to overset mesh for survival conditions.

BIOLOGICAL AGE OF PHYSIOLOGICAL SYSTEMS OF THE ORGANISM AND PROFILE OF HUMAN AGING

Aim of the study: comprehensive assessment of the rate of aging of the main physiological systems of the body and analysis of the relationships between them. Materials and methods. 188 practically healthy people of various ages (73 men and 115 women) were examined. Methods: anthropometry, echocardiography with Doppler, spirography, ECG with heart rhythm variability analysis, dual X-ray absorptiometry, clinical laboratory biochemical tests. Results. The method of stepwise multiple regression with systematic error correction was used to calculate the formulas of biological age (BA) of the cardiovascular, respiratory, musculoskeletal systems, autonomic regulation, and metabolic age. The obtained formulas make it possible to estimate the rate of aging of the body’s physiological systems with high accuracy (error of 4–5 years). An original method of calculating the integral BA based on the BA of separate body systems is proposed. Conclusion. By calculating the BA of many body systems, it is possible to estimate the rate of aging of these systems and build a human aging profile. This makes it possible to predict the risk of developing one or another age-related pathology and purposefully apply the necessary treatment and preventive measures. A comprehensive assessment of the rate of aging of the body’s physiological systems made it possible to study the heterochrony of aging, the main trajectories of the body’s aging. The connections between the aging of different body systems revealed in our research are important for the development of a strategy for antiaging effects and prevention of age-related pathology. Keywords: biological age, physiological systems, aging profile

Success Factors of PMO Implementation for UAE Project-Based Organizations

In current competitive market, organisations strive not only to complete projects on time, but also to ensure stakeholder satisfaction. Creating a separate body or department for project management within an organisation is frequently motivated by a desire to improve project management and reduce projects that fall short of customers' and stakeholders' expectations due to budget overruns or intolerable delays. Thus, Project management Office (PMO) practises are becoming more popular around the world to support project management activities. Hence, this paper presents a qualitative approach by interviewing twenty experienced personnel who had worked with PMO for several years. The experts were from four organisation namely Masdar Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company, Al Mansouri 3B Group, Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX), and Gulf Falcon Company (GFC). These open interview sessions were to discover the success factors in implementing PMO in UAE organisation. The results of the interview found that there are six key factors affecting the effective implementation of the PMO which are project flexibility; politics and change resistance in stakeholders; alignment and accountability; efficient resources; risk management; effective leadership and team management. Project flexibility, as well as effective leadership and team management, are cited as the most critical factors by all respondents. The paper also incorporates an effective PMO framework which suggests various strategic measures to implement in five phases of the project lifecycle: initiation, planning, execution, monitoring and controlling, closing, and post-implementation reviewing.

Phosphatidylserine exposure modulates adhesion GPCR BAI1 (ADGRB1) signaling activity

Brain-specific angiogenesis inhibitor 1 (BAI1; also called ADGRB1 or B1) is an adhesion G protein-coupled receptor known from studies on macrophages to bind to phosphatidylserine (PS) on apoptotic cells via its N-terminal thrombospondin repeats. A separate body of work has shown that B1 regulates postsynaptic function and dendritic spine morphology via signaling pathways involving Rac and Rho. However, it is unknown if PS binding by B1 has any effect on the receptor's signaling activity. To shed light on this subject, we studied G protein-dependent signaling by B1 in the absence and presence of coexpression with the PS flippase ATP11A in human embryonic kidney 293T cells. ATP11A expression reduced the amount of PS exposed extracellularly and also strikingly reduced the signaling activity of coexpressed full-length B1 but not a truncated version of the receptor lacking the thrombospondin repeats. Further experiments with an inactive mutant of ATP11A showed that the PS flippase function of ATP11A was required for modulation of B1 signaling. In coimmunoprecipitation experiments, we made the surprising finding that ATP11A not only modulates B1 signaling but also forms complexes with B1. Parallel studies in which PS in the outer leaflet was reduced by an independent method, deletion of the gene encoding the endogenous lipid scramblase anoctamin 6 (ANO6), revealed that this manipulation also markedly reduced B1 signaling. These findings demonstrate that B1 signaling is modulated by PS exposure and suggest a model in which B1 serves as a PS sensor at synapses and in other cellular contexts.

Managing Postdisaster Reconstruction after the 2015 Gorkha, Nepal Earthquake and Lessons Learned

The 2015 Gorkha earthquake was one of the most devastating earthquakes in Nepal in this century. Postdisaster reconstruction is a complex and highly challenging process, especially concerning developing countries like Nepal, as it involves several well-coordinated plans and working activities. Due to the large scale of devastation, the Nepal government created a separate body, the National Reconstruction Authority (NRA), to manage and oversee recovery and reconstruction activities. This paper briefly discusses organizations typically involved in postdisaster reconstruction processes and the multifaceted roles they play. Document analysis on research papers, collected reports from the NRA, governmental departments, and many other organizations involved in the reconstruction was carried out. This study provides a comprehensive review of the reconstruction process after the 2015 Gorkha, Nepal, earthquake, whereas previous studies have covered a specific issue. The reconstruction works are presented structurally in detail. Similarly, the crucial steps and lesson learned for managing expectations and building back better are highlighted. This study may help to develop effective organization and policies in future postdisaster reconstruction.

Automatic Threat Prediction of Body-Worn Objects for Security Screening Purposes

Fast detection of hazardous objects in millimeter-wave personnel screening can increase the operating efficiency of secure environments. In airports, accurate automatic detection and classification of body-worn objects can reduce the number of pat-downs while keeping the transportation environment safe and secure. Since many benign objects, such as paper and leather, are lossy materials, being able to characterize them and set them aside from the secondary checks will significantly reduce the screening process time. In this article, we introduce an effective image-processing-based method for characterizing lossy materials that might be concealed under clothing at checkpoints. The method has been combined with a modified version of the previously developed algorithm that can be used specifically to characterize lossless materials. The proposed algorithm can automatically distinguish lossless materials from lossy ones and calculate their thickness and permittivities. Starting from the radar reconstructed image showing a cross section of the body, we extract the nominal body contour using the Fourier series, separate body, and object responses, categorize the object as lossy or lossless based on the depression and protrusion of the body contour, and, finally, predict possible values for the object’s permittivity and thickness. Our resulting classification is good, implying fewer nuisance alarms at checkpoints.

A Preliminary Study on the Estimation of Phenol content and Extent of Pollution in water bodies near the Plywood Industrial Area, Perumbavoor, Ernakulum (Dist), Kerala, India

The Phenol content of two separate water bodies into which effluent is discharged from Plywood Industrial area, Perumbavoor, Ernakulam(Dist), Kerala, India, was analyzed using colourimetric methods by converting phenols and cresols present in the water bodies into red coloured Deoxy- P- Benzoquinonyl B- Resorsalylimine or 5- Methyl – 1,2- Benzoquinonyl B- Resorsalylimine respectively. The Phenol content in water sample- It was found be slightly higher than that of water sample- I. The values obtained were much higher than that of the lethal concentration for aquatic animals and very much harmful to human beings.

Treatment of methanol-containing wastewater at gas condensate production

The purpose of the study was to assess the impact of industrial wastewater on the concentration of methanol in the considered section of the Ob River basin, present proposals for the implementation of a new treatment system and analyse the implementation results. On the basis of the results of the analysis of the known methods for reducing the concentration of methanol in water, a new technological scheme for post-treatment of effluents using biological treatment with methylotrophic Methylomonas methanica Dg bacteria was proposed. The calculation of the dilution of treated wastewater using the “NDS Ecolog” program was carried out on the basis of the detailed calculation method of Karaushev, the results of which showed a decrease in the concentration of methanol in the control section to 0.0954 mg∙dm –3 (permissible concentration is 0.1 mg∙dm –3). During the period of the flood of the Glukhaya channel, it ceases to be a separate water body and, in fact, becomes part of the flood channel of the Ob River. Certain parts of the flooded areas, due to elevation changes, communicate with the channel only during a short period of time when the water level rises, i.e. 3–5 weeks during the flood period, and in fact remain isolated reservoirs for the rest of the time, potentially acting as zones of accumulation and concentration of pollutants.

Comparative study of finite element methods of calculation of ribbed reinforced concrete floors

The paper presents the results of a comparative study of several finite element models of ribbed reinforced concrete solid floors. Using the example of a solid slab with infrequent ribs arranged along a grid of columns, three models frequently used in computational practice are analyzed. Those models include both rods and thin-walled elements. In the first model, the plate and its ribs are considered separately, within the framework of the decomposition scheme of the structure. The second model contains plate finite elements and the rod finite elements of the ribs connected to each other. The third model consists entirely of thin-walled finite elements that model both the plate and the floor ribs. The ribbed floor is also considered in the formulation of the problem within the framework of the theory of elasticity. The floor is represented in the form of rigidly connected solid bodies of ribs and plates. Reinforcement rods inside the concrete massive are included in the model as separate solid bodies. This model serves as a benchmark for assessing the accuracy of the obtained results. Its calculation is performed in the FEM application Ansys. The paper compares the results of calculations performed using various models. A conclusion is made about the accuracy of the obtained results. A significant difference between the proposed work and similar studies devoted to the selection of the best design schemes of ribbed slab of floor is the consideration of the influence of reinforcement on the behavior of the structure.

Sequential Accumulation of ‘Driver’ Pathway Mutations Induces the Upregulation of Hydrogen-Sulfide-Producing Enzymes in Human Colonic Epithelial Cell Organoids

Recently, a CRISPR-Cas9 genome-editing system was developed with introduced sequential ‘driver’ mutations in the WNT, MAPK, TGF-β, TP53 and PI3K pathways into organoids derived from normal human intestinal epithelial cells. Prior studies have demonstrated that isogenic organoids harboring mutations in the tumor suppressor genes APC, SMAD4 and TP53, as well as the oncogene KRAS, assumed more proliferative and invasive properties in vitro and in vivo. A separate body of studies implicates the role of various hydrogen sulfide (H2S)-producing enzymes in the pathogenesis of colon cancer. The current study was designed to determine if the sequential mutations in the above pathway affect the expression of various H2S producing enzymes. Western blotting was used to detect the expression of the H2S-producing enzymes cystathionine β-synthase (CBS), cystathionine γ-lyase (CSE) and 3-mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferase (3-MST), as well as several key enzymes involved in H2S degradation such as thiosulfate sulfurtransferase/rhodanese (TST), ethylmalonic encephalopathy 1 protein/persulfide dioxygenase (ETHE1) and sulfide-quinone oxidoreductase (SQR). H2S levels were detected by live-cell imaging using a fluorescent H2S probe. Bioenergetic parameters were assessed by Extracellular Flux Analysis; markers of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) were assessed by Western blotting. The results show that the consecutive mutations produced gradual upregulations in CBS expression—in particular in its truncated (45 kDa) form—as well as in CSE and 3-MST expression. In more advanced organoids, when the upregulation of H2S-producing enzymes coincided with the downregulation of the H2S-degrading enzyme SQR, increased H2S generation was also detected. This effect coincided with the upregulation of cellular bioenergetics (mitochondrial respiration and/or glycolysis) and an upregulation of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway, a key effector of EMT. Thus sequential mutations in colon epithelial cells according to the Vogelstein sequence are associated with a gradual upregulation of multiple H2S generating pathways, which, in turn, translates into functional changes in cellular bioenergetics and dedifferentiation, producing more aggressive and more invasive colon cancer phenotypes.

MUALLİMLER CEMİYETİNDEN İSTANBUL MUALLİMLER BİRLİĞİNE BİR MESLEK ÖRGÜTÜNÜN SERENCAMI (1918-1936)

The activities of associations and civil society, in modern terms, within the Ottoman Empire gained a legal ground with the freedom reached in the Second Constitutional Era regarding the operations of societies. Accordingly, teachers began to organize like other professions at that period. Muallimler Cemiyeti (Teachers Society), which had a significant place among teacher organizations in Turkey, was established upon that legal ground on March 9, 1918. Having been founded at the end of the World War I and experienced the negative effects of the occupation of Istanbul, the Society also witnessed the process of transformation from empire to republic. Since it was not possible for the Society to actively work in such a difficult period, it started to publish Muallimler Mecmuası (Journal of Teachers) begninning from September, 1922; and made remarkable contributions to education policies and rights of the teachers. This kind of activities of the Society continued until August, 1925, when it joined Türkiye Muallimler Birliği (Turkey Teachers Union). Then, the Union worked in step with the government till 1928. With its general assembly in August, 1928; İstanbul Union of Teachers turned into a confedaration and had a separate body. The Union aimed at reorganization in 1929, and tried to continue its activities, as in its first phase, until 1936 when the organization repealed itself with the pressure of the government in the process of the abolishment of associations.

Corruption and Government Mechanisms in Nigeria: Diagnosis and Treatment

As widely perceived by many that corruption and other unethical conducts have become a destructive cankerworm that has eaten deep in every nation’s economy. Although, the scenario is not common only to Nigeria but the manner at which the ill-gotten wealth individuals were being celebrated in country is highly alarming. Nigeria is known for its series of anti-corruption mechanisms put in place by the government in order to curtail the menace in the society. Upon the establishment of the Military Legislations to curb the menace in 1975 under Generals Murtala Ramatu Muhammed and Olusegun Obasanjo down to 1999under the administration of President Olusegun Obasanjo where two separate anti-corruption bodies were formed (ICPC and EFCC), and to the present Administration under President Muhammadu Buhari where whistleblowing mechanism is introduced, the level of corruption is more pronounced and rampant both in public and private sectors of the Nigeria’s economy. One will be wondering why Nigeria is yet to put total remedies to the scourge of corruption in the country. The study proffers some hints, if it can be adopted by the government to strengthen the anti-corruption tools put in place. Some of the measures include, the inclusion of individuals, all and sundry in the fight against corruption. As opined by the collective action theory employed by the study, corruption cannot be fought and won in isolation but requires collective efforts and change of masses’ orientation on the need to return sanity back to Nigeria. Similarly, our religious and traditional leaders have numerous roles to play in reducing unethical conducts in the society. Conferment of religious or traditional titles to those that do not deserve it in the society should be corrected and discouraged in its totality. When these and many more are done, there is every possibility that Nigeria will be a lesser corrupt country and great again.

Eco-Anxiety:Right to Healthy Environment

Eco-anxiety' as a concept is relatively new and has received media attention recently, even though the feeling has probably existed for some time. People who are depressed and lose control when thinking about the impact of human activity on the planet, such as climate change. Climate change is an actual dimension into their mental-health problems, which is not medically recognised or defined. This is normative legal research. The data were consolidated and examined using the legal norm method, which uses qualitative legal analysis, logic, and argumentation. This paper reviewed the literature on eco-anxiety and its legal implications. Environmental and health law continues to be separate bodies of international law, even though the right to health is intertwined with the right to a healthy environment. A right to a clean and healthy environment should explicitly include the right to health-physically and mentally. Priority should be given to greening public health infrastructure, such as mental health facilities, as part of eco-anxiety recovery plans to support the emergence of the environmental impact on mental health and the country's mental health promotion and prevention efforts to serve their needs better.

Body Image Software Programs

The assessment of body image has evolved in recent decades through the development of various software programs. However, it is not yet known whether this technological advance has resulted in refined evidence or whether this assessment development has been extensively applied in the field. This study reviewed the body image software programs developed and applied from 2000 to 2020. Searches were systematically conducted in four scientific databases. A total of 35 articles were selected, and 13 body image software programs were identified. The main features comprising the variability of the software were the pattern of body stimuli presentation (avatars x real body x body drawings) and the procedures of body image manipulation (whole body adjustment x adjustment of separate body parts). Heterogeneity was prevalent among the studies reviewed and prevented a favorable conclusion regarding the use of software compared to other body image assessment strategies.

Assessing Intersectional Disparities in Cervical Cancer Screening by Disability Status, Race, and Ethnicity

Separate bodies of research have studied disparities by disability status and by race or ethnicity in receipt of cervical cancer screening. Much less is known about how these disparities intersect. The purpose of this study was to evaluate disparities in compliance with the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force guidelines for Pap testing in age-eligible women at the intersection of disability and race or ethnicity. We conducted cross-sectional analyses of the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey Household Component deidentified public data files pooled for years 2007-2016, using a modified Poisson regression analysis to compute prevalence ratios for being up to date with Pap testing by disability status and race or ethnicity. We also calculated predicted marginal proportions adjusting for demographic and socioeconomic covariates. The analytic sample included 68,507 women with nonmissing covariates; 15.6% had a disability. Overall, the proportion current with Pap testing was significantly lower among women with disabilities than among those without disabilities (82.1% vs 88.6%, p<0.0001). Furthermore, within each racial and ethnic group, women with disabilities were less likely than those without disabilities to be current with Pap testing. In adjusted analyses, prevalence ratios for White women with disabilities (adjusted prevalence ratio=0.94; 95% CI=0.92, 0.96) and other race women with and without disabilities (adjusted prevalence ratio=0.91; 95% CI=0.86, 0.95 and adjusted prevalence ratio=0.91; 95% CI=0.89, 0.95, respectively) were significantly below those for the reference group of White women without disabilities. Hispanic women with disabilities did not differ significantly from White women without disabilities, and Black women with disabilities had significantly higher adjusted prevalence ratios than White women without disabilities (adjusted prevalence ratio=1.07; 95% CI=1.05, 1.09). When taking covariates into account, the proportion of Black women with disabilities current with screening was only slightly lower than the estimated proportion for Black women without disabilities (92% vs 93%). The gap in screening between White women with and without disabilities narrowed somewhat (from 9 percentage points to 4 percentage points) but remained significant. Our results extend previous research focused separately on disability or race and ethnicity. Women with disabilities in all racial and ethnic groups fell short of Healthy People 2020 goals for cervical cancer screening.
