US landlords file millions of evictions per year. Eviction is associated with numerous negative outcomes including economic hardship, residential instability, disrupted educational attainment among children, and physical and mental health issues. Despite the number of evictions and eviction’s negative consequences, there is little research suggesting effective eviction prevention policies. One potential way to reduce evictions is to increase the costs of eviction to landlords. This paper explores landlord responsiveness to eviction filing fees. Using data from northern New England, we find that landlords responsiveness to changes in eviction filing fees is relatively inelastic. As a result, increasing costs to landlords through higher filing fees may be an inefficient method of preventing evictions.

With the rise of the internet technology, even more public servants are trying to adopt e-filing in Malaysia. Technical proficiency is one of the most critical element of e-filing adoption. The major objective of this study was to investigate the level of technical proficiency among selected Malaysian public servant. Using a convenience sampling method, 543 data was collected from selected public servant in Kuantan, Malaysia.. The results indicate that Malaysian public servant has a fairly high technical proficiency. Implications from these findings to the government are further discussed

The interplay of strong interactions and magnetic fields gives rise to unusual forms of superconductivity and magnetism in quantum many-body systems. Here, we present an experimental study of the two-dimensional Fermi-Hubbard model—a paradigm for strongly correlated fermions on a lattice—in the presence of a Zeeman field and varying doping. Using site-resolved measurements, we revealed anisotropic antiferromagnetic correlations, a precursor to long-range canted order. We observed nonmonotonic behavior of the local polarization with doping for strong interactions, which we attribute to the evolution from an antiferromagnetic insulator to a metallic phase. Our results pave the way to experimentally mapping the low-temperature phase diagram of the Fermi-Hubbard model as a function of both doping and spin polarization, for which many open questions remain.

ObjectivesOur Emergency Department (ED) SOP for the management of investigations is informed by the Royal College of Emergency Medicine.1 Consultants are responsible for filing (and actioning) all electronically reported laboratory results. A significant proportion of results are normal therefore time is taken to review normal results rather than apply clinical skills. Due to high volumes of normal results to review it can be difficult to identify an abnormal result – a patient safety risk.This quality improvement project aimed to implement an automated electronic filing process to correctly identify and file normal results, leaving only the abnormal results to be reviewed, clinically actioned, and filed.MethodsA pilot project was completed to assess impact. ICE algorithms were designed sequentially to automatically file normal haematology, biochemistry, and certain microbiology results respectively. Prospective data collection took place for two weeks after introduction of each new algorithm, to assess the effectiveness and safety. Consultants continued to manually review all results during each test phase. Queries regarding any results being filed incorrectly were flagged immediately. Algorithms were adjusted until a safe and robust system was running with no queries.ResultsPilot data over a 2-week period demonstrated that a potential 93% of selected microbiology swabs, 46% of urine cultures, 17% of haematology and 44% of biochemistry results could be auto-filed. Post-implementation data demonstrated 91% of swabs, 46% of urine cultures and 17% of haematology results were appropriately auto-filed. Biochemistry data showed 43% were auto-filed, however, 8% of these were auto-filed incorrectly due to lack of normal reference ranges for certain tests (for example, carbamazepine levels). Following several improvement cycles, the latest data (July 2023) demonstrates a safe auto-filing system that reduced overall consultant workload by 53%.ConclusionThis aspirational project looked to achieve significant reduction in administrative consultant workload. We have designed and maint1ained a safe and robust auto-filing system for ED haematology and microbiology reports. As less time was taken on administrative tasks, 100% of consultants were released earlier to the shop floor; therefore, we increased clinical capacity without investment in staff. All ED consultants provided positive feedback; they found the system focused their mind on the abnormal results.We are disseminating the use of the programme between departments (initially General Paediatrics) with the aim of maximising efficiency of ICE report filing across the Trust. The process can be replicated between Trusts to support time deprived clinicians across the country.ReferencesManagement of Investigation Results in the Emergency Department – Best Practice Guidance, The Royal College of Emergency Medicine, May 2020

Drawing on 99.9 million court records, we construct national estimates of the annual prevalence of eviction filings and households threatened with eviction in the United States. Using Bayesian hierarchical modeling, we reconcile data from multiple sources to create comprehensive estimates permitting comparisons of eviction filing risk within and between states. This method indicates that relying solely on court-issued data undercounts eviction filings by approximately 1 million cases a year due to omission of counties for which these data cannot be obtained. In an average year between 2000 and 2018, landlords filed more than 3.6 million eviction cases, resulting in almost 7% of renting households facing an eviction lawsuit. During this time, the number of eviction filings nationally increased by 21.5%; however, an expanding renter population has outpaced the growth in filings, resulting in declining filing rates in recent years. Nationwide data reveal stark disparities in eviction filing rates between states that are not explained by variation in sociodemographic composition. Rather, regression discontinuity models indicate a robust association between a simple housing policy—requiring landlords to provide notice to tenants prior to filing an eviction case for nonpayment of rent—and the county-level eviction filing rate, demonstrating that larger structural factors, including state-level landlord–tenant law, could play an important role in shaping risk of receiving an eviction filing. We make aggregated data publicly available to serve as a tool for researchers, policymakers, and members of the public to examine the prevalence, causes, and consequences of eviction lawsuits.

Although the global burden of ear, nose and throat (ENT) diseases is high, data relating to ENT disease epidemiology and diagnostic error in resource-limited settings remain scarce. We conducted a retrospective cross-sectional review of ENT patients’ clinical records at a resource-limited tertiary hospital. We determined the diagnostic accuracy and appropriateness of patient referrals for ENT specialist care using descriptive statistics. Cohens kappa coefficient (κ) was calculated to determine the diagnostic agreement between non-ENT clinicians and the ENT specialist, and logistic regression applied to establish the likelihood of patient misdiagnosis by non-ENT clinicians. Of the 1543 patients studied [age 0–87 years, mean age 25(21) years (mean(SD)], non-ENT clinicians misdiagnosed 67.4% and inappropriately referred 50.4%. Compared to those aged 0–5 years, patients aged 51–87 years were 1.77 (95%CI: 1.03–3.04) fold more likely to have a referral misdiagnosis for specialist care. Patients with ear (aOR: 1.63; 95% CI: 1.14–2.33) and those with sinonasal diseases (aOR: 1.80; 95% CI: 1.14–2.45) had greater likelihood of referral misdiagnosis than those with head and neck diseases. Agreement in diagnosis between the ENT specialist and non-ENT clinicians was poor (κ = 0.0001). More effective, accelerated training of clinicians may improve diagnostic accuracy in low-resource settings.

The effectiveness of the e-tax system in encouraging tax compliance has been largely unexplored. Thus, the current study aims to examine the interrelationship between technological predictors in explaining tax compliance intention among certified tax professionals. Based on the literature on information system success and tax compliance intention, this paper proposed an expanded conceptual framework that incorporates convenience and perception of reduced compliance costs as predictors and satisfaction as a mediator. The data were collected from 650 tax professionals who used e-Filing and 492 who used e-Form through an online survey and analyzed using hierarchical multiple regression. The empirical results suggest that participants’ perceived service quality of e-Filing services and perceptions of reduced compliance costs positively influence users’ willingness to comply with tax regulations. The latter predictor is also, and only, significant among e-Form users. The empirical results also provide statistical evidence for the mediating role of satisfaction in the relationship between all predictors and tax compliance intention. This study encourages tax policymakers and e-tax filing providers to improve their services to increase user satisfaction and tax compliance.

Mechanical deformation of a crystal can have a profound effect on its physical properties. Notably, even small modifications of bond geometry can completely change the size and sign of magnetic exchange interactions and thus the magnetic ground state. Here we report the strain tuning of the magnetic properties of the A-type layered antiferromagnetic semiconductor CrSBr achieved by designing a strain device that can apply continuous, in situ uniaxial tensile strain to two-dimensional materials, reaching several percent at cryogenic temperatures. Using this apparatus, we realize a reversible strain-induced antiferromagnetic-to-ferromagnetic phase transition at zero magnetic field and strain control of the out-of-plane spin-canting process. First-principles calculations reveal that the tuning of the in-plane lattice constant strongly modifies the interlayer magnetic exchange interaction, which changes sign at the critical strain. Our work creates new opportunities for harnessing the strain control of magnetism and other electronic states in low-dimensional materials and heterostructures. A cryo-strain device capable of applying large, continuous strains to two-dimensional materials in situ enables the reversible tuning of magnetic order and spin-canting process of the layered magnetic semiconductor CrSBr.

A large anomalous Nernst effect (ANE) is crucial for thermoelectric energy conversion applications because the associated unique transverse geometry facilitates module fabrication. Topological ferromagnets with large Berry curvatures show large ANEs; however, they face drawbacks such as strong magnetic disturbances and low mobility due to high magnetization. Herein, we demonstrate that YbMnBi 2 , a canted antiferromagnet, has a large ANE conductivity of ~10 A m −1  K −1 that surpasses large values observed in other ferromagnets (3–5 A m −1  K −1 ). The canted spin structure of Mn guarantees a non-zero Berry curvature, but generates only a weak magnetization three orders of magnitude lower than that of general ferromagnets. The heavy Bi with a large spin–orbit coupling enables a large ANE and low thermal conductivity, whereas its highly dispersive p x / y orbitals ensure low resistivity. The high anomalous transverse thermoelectric performance and extremely small magnetization make YbMnBi 2 an excellent candidate for transverse thermoelectrics. The anomalous Nernst effect (ANE) in topological materials with large Berry curvature shows great potential for transverse thermoelectrics, but antiferromagnets typically show small ANEs. The antiferromagnet YbMnBi 2 has an ANE thermopower of 3 μV K −1 , similar to ferromagnets, and a larger ANE conductivity.
