    Issue No. 1317 1 June 2018 // USAF CSDS News and Analysis Issue 1317 // Feature Report “Missile Defense: The Warfighter and Decision Makers Would Benefit from Better Communication about the System’s Capabilities and Limitations”. Published by the U.S. Government Accountability Office; May 2018 https://www.gao.gov/assets/700/692136.pdf What GAO Found In fiscal year 2017, the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) made mixed progress in achieving its delivery and testing goals. • MDA continued to deliver assets to the military services. However, system-level integrated capabilities, such as some discrimination and integrated cyber defense improvements, were delayed and delivered with performance limitations. • Several programs achieved notable firsts, including the first intercept of an Intercontinental Ballistic Missile. However, one program experienced a failure, and other tests were delayed or deleted. Moreover, GAO found challenges in MDA’s processes for communicating the extent and limitations of integrated capabilities when they are delivered. As a result, warfighters do not have full insight into the capabilities MDA delivers. twitter.com/USAF_CSDS | cuws.au.af.mil // 2 // USAF CSDS News and Analysis Issue 1317 // TABLE OF CONTENTS NUCLEAR WEAPONS North Korea Nuclear Disarmament Could Take 15 Years, Expert Warns (New York Times) As the Trump administration races to start talks with North Korea on what it calls “rapid denuclearization,” a top federal government adviser who has repeatedly visited the North’s sprawling atomic complex is warning that the disarmament process could take far longer, up to 15 years. 20 Years After Pokhran-II: Have Nuclear Weapons Made India More Secure?

  • Death and Ethnicity: a Psychocultural Study – Twenty-Five Years Later. Doctor of Philosophy (Counseling Psychology), December 2001, 232 Pp
    DEATH AND ETHNICITY: A PSYCHOCULTURAL STUDY— TWENTY-FIVE YEARS LATER Cynthia A. Peveto, B.S., M.A. Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS December 2001 APPROVED: Bert Hayslip, Jr., Major Professor John Hipple, Committee Member Judith A. McConnell, Committee Member C. Edward Watkins, Committee Member C. Neal Tate, Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Peveto, Cynthia A., Death and ethnicity: A psychocultural study – twenty-five years later. Doctor of Philosophy (Counseling Psychology), December 2001, 232 pp., 1 table, 3 appendices, references, 103 titles. This study compares ethnic, age, and gender differences concerning attitudes and behaviors toward death, dying, and bereavement among Caucasian, African, Hispanic, and Asian American adult participants in north Texas with the results of a 1976 study by Kalish and Reynolds on death attitudes and behaviors of Caucasian, African, Mexican, and Japanese American adult participants in Los Angeles, California. A modified version of Kalish and Reynolds’ study questionnaire was administered to 526 respondents (164 Caucasian, 100 African, 205 Hispanic, and 57 Asian Americans) recruited from community and church groups. Findings of this study were compared with those of Kalish and Reynolds in specific areas, including experience with death, attitudes toward one’s own death, dying, and afterlife, and attitudes toward the dying, death, or grief of someone else. Data was analyzed employing the same statistical tools as those used by Kalish and Reynolds, i.e., chi square calculations, frequencies, percentages, averages, and analyses of variance. As compared with the earlier study, results indicated that this study’s participants were less likely to have known as many persons who had died recently or to state they would try very hard to control grief emotions in public.

  • Salmonella Enterica Genomes from Victims of a Major Sixteenth-Century Epidemic in Mexico
    ARTICLES https://doi.org/10.1038/s41559-017-0446-6 Salmonella enterica genomes from victims of a major sixteenth-century epidemic in Mexico Åshild J. Vågene1,2, Alexander Herbig 1,2*, Michael G. Campana 3,4,7, Nelly M. Robles García5, Christina Warinner1, Susanna Sabin1, Maria A. Spyrou1,2, Aida Andrades Valtueña1, Daniel Huson6, Noreen Tuross3*, Kirsten I. Bos1,2* and Johannes Krause 1,2* Indigenous populations of the Americas experienced high mortality rates during the early contact period as a result of infec- tious diseases, many of which were introduced by Europeans. Most of the pathogenic agents that caused these outbreaks remain unknown. Through the introduction of a new metagenomic analysis tool called MALT, applied here to search for traces of ancient pathogen DNA, we were able to identify Salmonella enterica in individuals buried in an early contact era epidemic cemetery at Teposcolula-Yucundaa, Oaxaca in southern Mexico. This cemetery is linked, based on historical and archaeological evidence, to the 1545–1550 CE epidemic that affected large parts of Mexico. Locally, this epidemic was known as ‘cocoliztli’, the pathogenic cause of which has been debated for more than a century. Here, we present genome-wide data from ten individuals for Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Paratyphi C, a bacterial cause of enteric fever. We propose that S. Paratyphi C be considered a strong candidate for the epidemic population decline during the 1545 cocoliztli outbreak at Teposcolula-Yucundaa. nfectious diseases introduced to the New World following a foundation in germ theory and describe historical forms of a con- European contact led to successive outbreaks in many regions dition that may differ from modern manifestations8,11.
