Introduction: The Effects of Selection Method on Public Officials [PDF]
State and local governments have long struggled to design optimal mechanisms for selecting public officials. Centuries of experimentation have left us with several techniques: election (partisan or otherwise), political appointment, or selection by some ...

Abstract Aims This study aimed to quantify the population‐level impact of a large‐scale opioid agonist treatment (OAT) program on suicide‐related mortality among people with opioid use disorder (OUD) in New South Wales (NSW), Australia. Design This is the first study to use dynamic mathematical modeling to explore the population‐level impact of OAT on ...

Automated detection and analysis of coronal active region structures across Solar Cycle 24 [PDF]
Observations from the NASA Solar Dynamic Observatory Atmospheric Imaging Assembly were employed to investigate targeted physical properties of coronal active region structures across the entirety of Solar Cycle 24 (dates). This is the largest consistent study to date which analyses emergent trends in structural width, location, and occurrence rate by ...

On Solar Recurrent Coronal Jets: Coronal Geysers as Sources of Electron Beams and Interplanetary Type-III Radio Bursts [PDF]
Coronal Jets are transitory small-scale eruptions omnipresent in solar observations. Active regions jets produce significant perturbations on the ambient solar atmosphere and are believed to be generated by microflare reconnection. Multiple sets of recurrent jets are identified in extreme-ultraviolet filter imaging.

Abstract Background and Aims The use of new synthetic opioids, such as the highly potent 2‐benzylbenzimidazoles (i.e. nitazene) drugs, is a global health concern because of their increased risk of fatal overdose. In the early 2020s, nitazene analogues were linked to significant numbers of overdoses in the United States.

Magnetic Flux Cancellation as the Trigger Mechanism of Solar Coronal Jets [PDF]
Coronal jets are transient narrow features in the solar corona that originate from all regions of the solar disk: active regions, quiet sun, and coronal holes. Recent studies indicate that at least some coronal jets in quiet regions and coronal holes are driven by the eruption of a minifilament following flux cancellation at a magnetic neutral line. We
