SELECTED SOCIAL CHARACTERISTICS IN THE UNITED STATES VETERAN STATUS - DP02 Universe - Civilian population 18 Year and over Survey-Program - American Community Survey 5-year estimates Years - 2020, 2021, 2022 Veteran status is used to identify people with active duty military service and service in the military Reserves and the National Guard. Veterans are men and women who have served (even for a short time), but are not currently serving, on active duty in the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, or the Coast Guard, or who served in the U.S. Merchant Marine during World War II. People who served in the National Guard or Reserves are classified as veterans only if they were ever called or ordered to active duty, not counting the 4-6 months for initial training or yearly summer camps.

Context

Veteran Employment Outcomes (VEO) are new experimental U.S. Census Bureau statistics on labor market outcomes for recently discharged Army veterans. These statistics are tabulated by military specialization, service characteristics, employer industry (if employed), and veteran demographics. They are generated by matching service member information with a national database of jobs, using state-of-the-art confidentiality protection mechanisms to protect the underlying data.

Content

"The VEO are made possible through data sharing partnerships between the U.S. Army, State Labor Market Information offices, and the U.S. Census Bureau. VEO data are currently available at the state and national level."

"Veteran Employment Outcomes (VEO) are experimental tabulations developed by the Longitudinal Employer-Household Dynamics (LEHD) program in collaboration with the U.S. Army and state agencies. VEO data provides earnings and employment outcomes for Army veterans by rank and military occupation, as well as veteran and employer characteristics. VEO are currently released as a research data product in "experimental" form."

"The source of veteran information in the VEO is administrative record data from the Department of the Army, Office of Economic and Manpower Analysis. This personnel data contains fields on service member characteristics, such as service start and end dates, occupation, pay grade, characteristics at entry (e.g. education and test scores), and demographic characteristics (e.g. sex, race, and ethnicity). Once service member records are transferred to the Census Bureau, personally-identifying information is stripped and veterans are assigned a Protected Identification Key (PIK) that allows for them to be matched with their employment outcomes in Census Bureau jobs data."

Earnings, and Employment Concepts

Earnings "Earnings are total annual earnings for attached workers from all jobs, converted to 2018 dollars using the CPI-U. For the annual earnings tabulations, we impose two labor force attachment restrictions. First, we drop veterans who earn less than the annual equivalent of full-time work at the prevailing federal minimum wage. Additionally, we drop veterans with two or more quarters with no earnings in the reference year. These workers are likely to be either marginally attached to the labor force or employed in non-covered employment."

Employment

"While most VEO tabulations include earnings from all jobs, tabulations by employer characteristics only consider the veteran's main job for that year. Main jobs are defined as the job for which veterans had the highest earnings in the reference year. To attach employer characteristics to that job, we assign industry and geography from the highest earnings quarter with that employer in the year. For multi-establishment firms, we use LEHD unit-to-worker imputations to assign workers to establishments, and then assign industry and geography."

The European State Finance Database (ESFD) is an international collaborative research project for the collection of data in European fiscal history. There are no strict geographical or chronological boundaries to the collection, although data for this collection comprise the period between c.1200 to c.1815. The purpose of the ESFD was to establish a significant database of European financial and fiscal records. The data are drawn from the main extant sources of a number of European countries, as the evidence and the state of scholarship permit. The aim was to collect the data made available by scholars, whether drawing upon their published or unpublished archival research, or from other published material.
The ESFD project at the University of Leicester serves also to assist scholars working with the data by providing statistical manipulations of data and high quality graphical outputs for publication. The broad aim of the project was to act as a facilitator for a general methodological and statistical advance in the area of European fiscal history, with data capture and the interpretation of data in key publications as the measurable indicators of that advance. The data were originally deposited at the UK Data Archive in SAS transport format and as ASCII files; however, data files in this new edition have been saved as tab delimited files. Furthermore, this new edition features documentation in the form of a single file containing essential data file metadata, source details and notes of interest for particular files.

Main Topics:

The files in this dataset relate to the datafiles held in the Leicester database in the directory /armies/*.*. The interest of this data in the longer term is to build up a run of statistics for the period of the so-called military revolution'. This was a decisive factor in the increase of state expenditure on war and the creation of the so-calledfiscal military state'. It may also be possible to build up, in the longer term, calculations of a relative state efficiency (expenditure in terms of army size), relative state mobilization (army size in terms of overall population levels) and an index of state expenditure in real terms (via the cost of payment of armies).

Update 2/20/20 This data has been updated with the following: * The dams_in_nid_state_reports.csv file has been updated to include a column for owner_name, as it was provided by the states. Nearly 30,000 dam entries did not have an owner_name provided. Owner names may need deduplication, due to alternate name spellings in the data provided. * New findings regarding dams lacking emergency action plans in Southeastern states, in the Findings section.

Overview

The nation’s dams are on average more than a half-century old and, in some cases, weren’t designed to handle the amount of water that could result from the increasingly intense rainstorms of a changing climate. Yet almost no information has been publicly available about the condition of these dams. Since 2002, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has redacted inspectors’ condition assessments from its National Inventory of Dams over security concerns; the Corps makes publicly available only the hazard rating of certain dams, which assesses the potential for loss of human life or economic and environmental damage should a dam fail.

The Associated Press has created an exclusive dataset that fills in those information gaps for a subset of dams across the country. It found at least 1,688 high hazard dams that are in poor or unsatisfactory condition, and in places where failure is likely to kill at least one person.

The AP’s analysis is based on data obtained through dozens of state open-records requests, which allowed the AP to compile a dataset that contains both hazard levels and condition ratings for dams in 45 states and Puerto Rico. Five states – Alabama, Illinois, Maryland, New Jersey and Texas – did not fully comply with the records request for reasons described in the methodology and caveats sections below. (Iowa provided all requested documents but had no dams listed as both high hazard and in poor or unsatisfactory condition).

For the subset of high hazard dams in poor or unsatisfactory condition, the AP is sharing state inspection reports and local emergency action plans that provide additional details about the problems of some particular dams, their potential to inundate nearby areas if they were to catastrophically fail and plans to respond should there be a disaster.

The AP also analyzed the annual budget and staffing levels for dam safety offices in each state using data from an annual survey conducted by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

Additionally, the AP obtained data from the Federal Emergency Management Agency and state dam safety offices about $10 million of federal grants that were awarded this fall to 26 states. The grants are the first under the new Rehabilitation of High Hazard Potential Dams Grant Program. The money is to go toward risk assessments and engineering designs to repair high hazard dams that have failed to meet safety standards and pose an unacceptable risk to the public.

Findings

The AP’s analysis found: * Update 2/20/20: As storms, floods, and dam breaches have hit Mississippi in recent weeks, emergency action plans have been important in denoting whom to contact, who and what has been in danger, and how to handle a dam emergency. An Associated Press analysis of data received in summer 2018 from state and federal agencies found that 111 of the 375 high hazard dams in Mississippi were missing emergency action plans – nearly 30 percent. Some other Southern states had even more dams lacking emergency plans. In North Carolina, 578 of the 1,277 of high hazard dams, nearly half of them, had no emergency plan. In Georgia, 259 of the 623 were missing emergency plans. In fact, in at least seven Southeastern states, at least 20 percent of the high hazard dams were missing emergency plans as of summer 2018. * There are at least 1,688 high hazard dams in poor or unsatisfactory condition in 44 states and Puerto Rico. These potentially dangerous dams account for about 19% of the more than 8,800 high hazard dams for which the AP obtained condition ratings. Iowa listed no high hazard dams as poor or unsatisfactory. * More than half of the dams in the AP’s list of high hazard facilities in poor or unsatisfactory condition are privately owned, which can create challenges for state regulatory agencies seeking to enforce needed repairs or improvements. * About half of the dams in the AP’s list of high hazard facilities in poor or unsatisfactory condition are used primarily for recreation, though that may not have been the purpose for which the dams originally were built. Nearly one-fifth of the dams are used primarily for flood control. * Georgia had 198 high hazard dams in poor or unsatisfactory condition, the highest number among all states for which the AP obtained data. North Carolina was second with 168 such dams, followed by Pennsylvania with 145, Mississippi with 132, Ohio with 124 and South Carolina with 109. * As of summer 2018, more than a quarter of the high hazard dams in poor or unsatisfactory condition had inspection reports that were more than 1.5 years out of date, and about 35% didn’t have emergency action plans documenting procedures in case of the dam’s failure. Note that some of those dams could have undergone inspections or adopted emergency plans since then. * Budget and staffing levels for state dam safety offices declined following the Great Recession and have generally risen since then. California, which has the nation’s largest dam safety program, boosted its budget from around $13 million in 2017 to $20 million this past year and increased its full-time staff positions from 63 to 77 following the failure of the Oroville dam spillway in 2017. * Thirteen states and Puerto Rico were spending less on dam safety programs in their 2019 fiscal years than they did in 2011, and 11 states had fewer full-time positions in their programs as of last year. Alabama is the only state with no dam safety program. * States often have small dam safety staffs to oversee large numbers of dams. Indiana is representative of many states, with a $500,000 budget and six full-time staff positions for a dam safety office that regulates 840 dams.

Localization ideas

The AP’s database of dam inspection records collected from state agencies can be filtered to find the high hazard dams in poor or unsatisfactory condition in your state.

That data also provides key details that can be used for further reporting about the facilities, including their names, exact locations, identification numbers, the year they were built and the dates of their most recent inspections and emergency action plans. For many of these dams, the AP also has provided documents detailing their most recent inspection reports and emergency plans. The datasets on state dam safety program budgets and personnel also can be used to examine how a state’s regulatory oversight has changed over time.

Use the entire dams dataset to map all the dams in your state, find out what share of dams in your state are high hazard and in poor or unsatisfactory condition, and to do further analysis on ownership and purpose.

Some questions to ask:

Are there nearby dams in poor condition that could cause widespread damage if they failed? * Emergency action plans include potential inundation zones if a high hazard dam were to fail. For example, one community potentially in harm’s way is Norwood, Massachusetts, a Boston suburb of nearly 30,000 people. The high hazard dam on nearby Willett Pond is rated in poor condition, primarily because its spillway is capable of handling only about 13% of the water flow from a serious flood, according to a recent inspection report. More than 1,300 properties with structures lie within the dam’s potential inundation zone, including several shopping centers, at least two elementary schools, more than 70 roads and two railroads.

Are there high hazard dams for which there are concerns about whether the structure could withstand a natural disaster? * One example of this is in Alaska, which has five high hazard dams in poor or unsatisfactory condition. Several inspections raised concerns about seismic activity. Inspection reports for the Lower and Upper Wrangell dams note that neither dam “is found to be stable during a seismic event.”

Are there dams with outdated or missing emergency action plans? * One example of this is in New Mexico, where many dams had no emergency action plans as of summer 2018. Many dams there also were rated poor because authorities had no design plans for them. In addition, inspection reports for the majority of the dams mentioned that the dams did not meet standards for a probable maximum precipitation event.

How have state officials responded to previous concerns about the safety of dams? * Following widespread dam failures during intense rainstorms in 2015-2016, South Carolina tripled the personnel in its dam safety program and increased its budget from about $260,000 annually to about $1 million. By contrast, Missouri took no action after a mountaintop reservoir failed in 2005, injuring a park superintendent’s family in the resulting flash flood. Though the governor proposed to significantly expand the number of dams subject to state inspections, the legislation failed to pass.

Interactive

The AP is making an interactive map made in partnership with ESRI for this dataset available early to aid in reporting.

The interactive displays the 1,688 dams in the dataset that are high hazard and in poor or unsatisfactory condition. Coloring is determined by how overdue its last inspection, as of July 2018, is from its expected inspection frequency. By clicking on individual dams, more detailed information from the AP dataset

In 1808, as it was preparing for a major new war against Napoleonic France, the armed forces of the Habsburg Monarchy were augmented by two additional recruitment systems. In parallel to the creation of a trained reserve, which significantly increased the manpower available to the regular army, a popular levy was raised in the Austro-Bohemian crown lands. With a strength of nearly 150 battalions, the Landwehr was intended primarily for national defence. Its individual battalions were formed on a strictly territorial basis, ensuring men from the same area would serve together. In March 1809, when general mobilisation was declared, members of the Landwehr were asked to offer themselves as war volunteers. In the Kingdom of Bohemia, six battalions of such volunteers were drawn out of a total of 50 Landwehr battalions. To emphasise that they were wartime formations and not part of the standing army, these volunteer battalions were formally designated either as Freikorps or as Freiwillige. The Bohemian Freikorps was named Legion Erzherzog Carl in honour of the Austrian commander-in-chief, Generalissimo Archduke Charles. Unlike the regular army and the Landwehr, the bulk of the Legion was made of genuine volunteers. The unit sustained heavy combat casualties, but relatively few of its soldiers were taken prisoner, deserted, or went missing. Despite the defeat of the Austrian army, the Legion's battalions maintained their combat effectiveness to the very end of the war.

Based on all available manpower reports preserved in the Austrian State Archives, this database covers all 16 documented Jewish soldiers of the Legion EH Carl. Apart from one veteran non-commissioned officer who was transferred from the regular army, the remaining Jewish soldiers volunteered from their respective Landwehr battalions or were exempt civilians who signed up directly into the unit. The detailed monthly tables enable the reconstruction of their entire service itineraries, almost on a daily basis. When considered together, the Jewish soldiers of the Legion appear to have been enthusiastic fighters. By the end of the war, half of them had either become casualties or had been promoted to non-commissioned officers. Contrary to many regular army and Landwehr units, the EH Carl Legion did not experience disciplinary disintegration. It was, therefore, able to retain most of its men during the retreats from Bavaria and from the Battle of Wagram. Hence, most of its Jewish soldiers survived the war and were honourably discharged when the Legion was dissolved in January 1810.

The remaining 25 entries cover all the documented Jewish soldiers who served in other volunteer formations of the Austrian army during the 1809 War. Similar to Bohemia, volunteers were raised from the 24 Landwehr Battalions of Moravia and Silesia. The service record of the Mährische-Schlesische Freiwillige was similar to that the Legion EH Carl. Its three battalions fought well, as did its eight Jewish soldiers. Very different was the experience of the three Free Battalions from Galicia where not enough local volunteers came forward. After failing to reach the desired strength at the start of the war, these units first took foreign mercenaries and deserters and then, when many of these ran away, had to resort to conscripts. The fifteen Jewish soldiers of the Galician battalions were just that - a combination of transferees from the regular army, foreigners (including a deserter from the French army), and later in the war, conscripts. Almost half of them had deserted before the battalions were disbanded. The Bukovina Freikorps actually had two stages: a popular levy, which was badly defeated by the advancing Poles and which was subsequently re-organised as an army-run Freikorps manned primarily by second echelon troops: border guards, garrison troops, and members of the deserter cordon. Each of these formations had a Jewish soldier. Both were volunteers, and one of them even came with his own horse.

It should be made clear that the 41 individual entries in this dataset cannot give a full picture of the Jewish presence in volunteer formations in 1809. Unusually, the enlistment papers of the six battalions of the Wiener Freiwillige, by far the best-known volunteer formation of the Austrian army, did not record the religion of the recruits. Any Jew who served in that unit would not be known to us. Furthermore, the experience of the Jewish members of the volunteer formations should be seen in wider context. It was colourful but unrepresentative. There were probably hundreds of Jews in the Landwehr and several thousands in the regular army. Collective enthusiasm to volunteer pro-actively for military service to prove a point, which occurred in Jewish communities of the Habsburg Monarchy later on and particular during the First World War, was still very far away.

BackgroundMental health during armed conflicts is of paramount importance, as such situations often lead to increased risks of anxiety and depression symptoms among civilians. The military conflict between the Sudanese army and Rapid Support Forces, which began on April 15, 2023, is currently ongoing mainly in Khartoum State. Despite the significant impact of the conflict on the region, there is a lack of data regarding the mental health status of the residents. The aim of this study is to assess anxiety and depression symptoms among residents of Khartoum State during the first months of the 2023 military conflict.MethodWe conducted a cross-sectional study among residents of Khartoum State between May 27 and June 19 using an online questionnaire. We used standardized screening questionnaires, namely the Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD-7) for anxiety and the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) for depression. Multiple logistic regression was used to identify sociodemographic factors that are associated with anxiety and depression symptoms.ResultsOut of the 393 participants in the study, 70% had symptoms suggestive of depression and 57.3% suffered from anxiety symptoms. Both anxiety and depression were associated with being female (p < 0.001). Being married was a predictor of anxiety (p = 0.028) but not depression (p = 0.3). Other predictors were not significant (p > 0.05).ConclusionHigh levels of anxiety and depression symptoms were prevalent among Khartoum residents during the conflict, with females and married individuals at higher risk. Immediate medical assessment is essential for identifying cases and providing support. Mental health services should be integrated into emergency response efforts, particularly focusing on vulnerable groups. Future research should address study limitations and explore coping strategies for anxiety and depression in Sudanese adults.
