Abstract:

Contemporary society is concerned about successful functioning of its members and their effective participation in social interrelations therefore the adaptation of children living in foster homes is perceived as a relevant social issue. In the context of developing democratic ideas increasing attention is being paid towards the problem of adaptive behavior and its development in children without parental care. It is influenced by important social, political, value and legal changes having occurred in the last several decades in Lithuania in a context of which the attitude towards children without parental care, their social status, foster care and development is also changing. While adopting more laws and resolutions on the issues of child’s foster care, development and healthcare there appear more possibilities to solve a lot of relevant questions in child foster care and training institutions. In the context of democracy increasing attention is paid towards social integration of children living in foster institutions, their involvement and participation into social life. The goals and objectives of Lithuanian educational system reflect the intention to prepare a person for life, who is able to analyze reality individually or with other people, also adequately deal with the problems, plan the future and successfully adapt to the constantly changing, dynamic society. These objectives allow to discover a variety of aspects of the organization of educational activities in foster homes. The problematic issue arises while preparing foster home pupils for independent living: Are the educational system and conditions at foster homes sufficient and adequate in process of preparation for independent life? The article actualizes the educational significance of preparing teenagers for independent life. Interviews with foster home staff evaluate the current situation of foster homes, disclose the education system, work achievements (strengths), discuss the developmental problems and identify deficiencies of preparation for independent living in foster homes. The aim – to assess the preparation of foster home pupils for independent living within the context of foster homes, revealing the positive and improvable aspects of the foster home educator’s point of view. Analyzing the features of foster home preparation for independent living in care institutions, the study involved 17 foster home staff, based on their opinion about their personal work experiences and points of view. In order to understand home educational activities, to review the pupils’ preparation for independent living opportunities, educational reality, to find out and identify problems, provide opportunities for improving the situation, the interview method was used. Instant analysis revealed that home care workers initiated a variety of activities: encourage children to solve problems, analyze situations and make decisions. It is also practiced by demonstration of adult example, analyzing the situation and promoting the search for solutions. Workshops are organized, situations and educational environment is created in which the pupils are encouraged to act independently, provide practical training skills that enable learners to try themselves in different activities (household work, cooking, etc.). However, according to the assessment of the current situation in foster homes, it is clear that there are not optimal functions performed by the formation of practical skills and preparing for independent living of children without parental care. Interviews revealed that foster homes lack „real practices“ when most children are able to buy food, count the money, pay for services, cook, and independence is developed mostly by the potential circumstances. Comments on the survey suggest that the lack of practical activities, funding and real-world examples in foster homes prevent realization of the set goals, implement ideas for youngsters to prepare for independent living, to acquire domestic skills and do not create conditions for independent personal development (learning). Discussing the opportunities for improvement of foster home preparation for independent living, almost unanimously expressed material financial base and the improvement of household demand. Foster home staff believes that the conditions under which pupils can cook themselves face with the real everyday life, keep their own budgets, learn, acquire new knowledge or skills may be one of the most successful assumptions for training (learning) to live independently when they came out foster homes.

Abstract:

The focus of this article is to introduce the community-based adult foster care of older people in Finland. Although adult foster care is a public care service, it is organised in a private home, either in the foster carer’s home or in the older person’s home. The foster carer and the county make a commission agreement. Adult foster care can be full-time long-term care or short-term full-time or part-time care.

Abstract:

Research Question: This paper investigates how the social franchising approach may enhance the sustainability and capability of Foster Home NGOs in the Global South. Motivation: While many programmes exist to address issues such as poverty and lack of education for children in nations of the Global South, many operate in isolation, and are grassroots and/or stand-alone operations. Little research has been undertaken to understand how various approaches to organizational sustainability may be enacted for non-governmental organizations (NGOs) seeking to provide care for children in foster care homes. Our goal was to apply franchising and social franchising concepts as a framework for NGOs and non-profit organizations to use as a way of enhancing both the capability of achieving their mission as well as a method of organizational sustainability. Idea: Much of the literature on social franchising has been in the area of providing health care and services – however, this model may be useful to enhance the sustainability for NGOs and non-profit organizations that provide other critical services as well, such as foster care homes in the Global South. Findings: The social franchising model offers a concrete and actionable business model to foster home organizations with multiple homes to standardize care delivery as well as develop a strong core organization. Contribution: This paper explores how applying the social franchising model could enhance sustainability of NGOs with foster care home programmes, as well as some of the opportunities and challenges in applying this model to such NGOs and non-profit organizations.

Abstract:

They are nomad children, hundreds of New York City children who are moved each night from one foster care home to another. These children, ranging from infancy to adolescence, spend most of their days in field offices of the city's Special Services for Children. At night they are shuttled from borough to borough, carrying what few possessions they have in plastic bags. These children have been lost in the maze of the city's foster care system.

Abstract:

This paper explores the role of foster care as a secondary home for abandoned children and its significance in fulfilling the developmental needs of these youngsters. As biological parents seek support, recovery, and therapy, foster care offers a secure refuge for children and adolescents. Abuse and neglect often necessitate the removal of children and teenagers from their homes, making it imperative to find a secure environment for them. Foster care serves as a refuge for children and teenagers in need, even though it might be challenging to perceive it as a stable environment at first glance. The act of uprooting children from their homes may seem unsettling, but for those who have experienced abuse or neglect, foster care offers a stable and supportive home setting. Foster families provide essential elements like education, meals, shelter, and access to healthcare, which these children may have lacked before entering foster care. This, in turn, positively impacts their physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Additionally, foster care can provide biological parents with an opportunity to focus on establishing a stable home environment where their children can eventually return. This research draws inspiration from Cathy Glass's "Saving Danny," a powerful narrative. Cathy Glass is a prolific author with a portfolio of 34 books, each of which offers valuable insights into the lives of children in foster care. Through the lens of Cathy's experiences as a foster carer, these stories shed light on the challenges these vulnerable children face and how a nurturing and loving environment can help them overcome these obstacles.

Abstract:

Kinship-care placements in Australia are now more prevalent than foster care and are the fastest growing form of out-of-home care in this country (AIHW, 2014). On 30 June 2013, 93% of Australian children in out-of-home care were in home-based care, with 43% of these in foster care and 48% in relative/kinship care (AIHW, 2014). The past decade has seen a greater understanding of children's needs in out-of-home care, with models of therapeutic care showing promise in Australia and internationally. These models, however, are designed almost exclusively for children placed in foster care or residential care, and as such do not consider the unique features of kinship care. This paper will identify the needs of children in out-of-home care, before briefly examining the concepts of therapeutic foster care as a response to children who have experienced trauma. Key distinctions between foster care and kinship care will be highlighted and implications for a conceptual model of therapeutic kinship care discussed.

Abstract:

Abstract Adult foster homes (AFHs) are small, residential settings providing older adults and persons with disabilities an alternative to nursing facilities and larger residential care settings. Some groups, including individuals with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias, are well served by smaller settings. Although AFHs are common throughout the US, research on this setting is scant and dated. This study summarizes four years of qualitative data from Oregon AFH owners’ (N=726) responses to open-ended questions about the challenges and rewards of owning and operating an AFH. Content analysis of 924 comments indicate that providing resident care (42%), finding the work meaningful and “a life calling” (21%), developing a family-like connection with residents (15%), and working at home (8%) were the most commonly reported rewards. The most frequently described challenges included caring for residents with multiple chronic health conditions—including those with difficult behaviors (17%), difficulty hiring and retaining qualified caregivers (15%), low Medicaid reimbursement rates (14%), and adhering to administrative rules (14%). Results highlight AFH providers’ personal satisfaction with caring for and establishing connections with residents, and challenges associated with residents’ increasingly complex care needs, Medicaid reimbursement rates, and attitudes about state regulations. Although AFHs are licensed by states, they are subject to federal regulations, including the 2014 Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services home and community-based services ruling. The new regulations, Oregon administrative rules, Medicaid reimbursement rates, and caregiver supply are presented to contextualize AFH owner comments and regulatory considerations.

Abstract:

Foster care provides substitute living arrangements to protect maltreated children. The practice is remarkably common: it is estimated that 5 percent of children in the United States are placed in foster care at some point during childhood. This paper describes the main tradeoffs in child welfare policy and provides background on policy and practice most in need of rigorous evidence. Trends include efforts to prevent foster care on the demand side and to improve foster home recruitment on the supply side. With increasing data availability and a growing interest in evidence-based practices, there are opportunities for economic research to inform policies that protect vulnerable children.

Abstract:

Clearly very little is known about the dynamics within foster families and the effects of fostering on children. The intention of this study was to understand what happens in the lives of children during their period of placement in foster homes and it affected them and to explore and describe the experiences of the foster parent. It was learned that there is often a breakdown in the relationship between foster parents and the children they foster, particularly with regards to the gaining of trust, the socio economic status of the foster parents also played a part in the success of the placement. This research has found that substance abuse on the part of the children was prevalent leading to great tension within the households.

Abstract:

This study explores the notion of resilience and, in particular, its efficacy as a framework to assist and guide professionals in their work with children placed in the care of the State, many of whom have experienced situations of severe disadvantage, including abuse and neglect, prior to their admission to the out-of-home care system. The further distress and/or trauma for children, which is engendered by separation from their families and placement with strangers, is exacerbated by circumstances of transience and instability that many children experience during their care journeys. The study examines the care system as a circumstance of adversity and seeks to find out how specialist practitioners working in the care environment understand the notion of resilience and whether they operationalise the concept in their practice to assist children in care. The study is set within a critically reflective perspective, informed by a hermeneutic process that assists in building a deeper understanding of both the notion of resilience and the care system through the lived experiences of practitioners and interpretation of the literature on both topics. An unanticipated finding that emerged from research discussions conducted with practitioners revealed that their experiences of working within the care system created a sense of adversity for them and challenged their resilience, with many parallels between their responses and their observations of the distress and trauma of children in care. The necessity to understand these practitioners? experiences more deeply led to a further exploration of literature that described the impact of working in such adverse settings. This exploration uncovered the notion of vicarious traumatisation, a phenomenon that affects workers who are in continual contact with the trauma of others. An indepth discussion of this concept is provided outlining its relevance to this study. The implications of the impact of the adversity of the care environment on professionals are summarised in the final chapter of the study together with recommendations in the areas of both practice and research.

Abstract:

Children looked after by Local Authorities are often vulnerable to educational disadvantage in spite of numerous initiatives and interventions (Department for Education, 2015a). Research suggests that parental engagement with learning at home may be beneficial to the educational achievement of children (Desforges & Abouchaar, 2003; Harris & Goodall, 2008). This research investigates the role of foster carers in supporting learning in the home, and considers learning from a relational aspect. The Systematic Literature Review investigates foster carer led home learning. Quantitative analyses considers the effectiveness of home learning interventions in supporting academic attainment, and qualitative analyses explores factors that may impact on foster carer engagement. Six empirical studies are reviewed in total. Findings suggest there is currently insufficient evidence to conclude that carer led interventions have a positive impact on academic attainment. Further research would be helpful, however, given that initial findings suggest a small effect. Qualitative investigations found a number of factors that impact on foster carer engagement with home learning. These factors are complex; one that stood out across all papers was the impact these learning activities had on the relationships between carer and children. This is a relatively small area of research; little is known about foster carer perceptions related to their role in supporting education through home learning. There is also little understanding of how carers perceive their role in supporting home learning to interact with their relationships with children. The empirical research aimed to explore both these areas. Three dyads of foster carers and foster children took part in a self-video project using an approach based on the principles of Video Interaction Guidance (VIG) in a situated research design. The purpose of this was to allow carers and children to view themselves interacting positively during home learning activities. Carers then took part in a semi-structured interview, exploring their perceptions of learning and reflecting on how it impacted on their relationships with the children they look after. Interview data were analysed using Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). The findings suggest a number of concepts related to learning, children and relationships may influence carer perceptions of their role in supporting home learning. The implications of these findings are discussed in the context of psychological theory and the wider historical and cultural contexts.

Abstract:

AbstractA history of systemic injustices and a lack of transparency have influenced public perceptions of domestic adoption. This book aims to introduce more empirical evidence into the debate by exploring the value of open adoption, as practised in Australia, as a route to permanence for abused and neglected children in out-of-home care who cannot safely return to their birth families. International evidence about the outcomes of adoption and foster care is discussed. The chapter introduces the Barnardos Australia Find-a-Family programme which has been finding adoptive homes since 1986 for non-Aboriginal children in care who are identified as ‘hard to place’. Regular post-adoption face-to-face contact with birth family members is an integral part of the adoption plan. The methodology for evaluating the outcomes for 210 children placed through the programme included case and court file analysis, a follow-up survey and interviews with adoptive parents and adult adoptees.

Abstract:

In the Netherlands, the city of Utrecht is leading in providing adequate accommodation through mixed housing projects for ‘regular’ tenants and people previously living in homeless services or protected housing facilities. ‘New’ homeless persons also obtain the possibility for making a new start, instead of having to depend on shelters first. The concept of mixed housing, not to be confused with mixed income housing, relates in our definition to small and medium-sized (up to 500 residents) housing projects that are home to different groups of people who intentionally live next to each other, connect and engage in joint activities.In this paper, we examine three projects, with mainly self-contained dwellings: ‘Groene Sticht’ (since 2003), a small neighbourhood with 69 regular tenants and home-owners, and 35 ex-homeless persons; ‘Parana’ (2014), a purpose build complex with 24 regular and 44 (ex-)homeless individuals/families; ‘Majella Wonen’ (2016), older basic, post-war dwellings with 39 regular tenants and 35 homeless persons/families. These price-winning projects, co-created by a homeless service, social integration services and a social housing provider are built on an innovative concept of social management, with a high level of self-organisation. All residents are fully eligible members of the residents-committees and take responsibility for activities such as festivities, gardening, and the selection of new tenants. If necessary, ex-homeless inhabitants receive individualised support.We discuss structures and mechanisms that help homeless people feel at home amidst their (new) neighbours and foster their social integration. In addition, we identify several tensions that hamper integration and analyse the ways in which both residents and professionals try to tackle these obstacles.We collected data (2016 -2018) through the participatory meetings of a Community of Practice on Mixed housing, the study of documents, in-depth interviews with inhabitants of the housing complexes, focus group-sessions with professionals and interviews with local stakeholders.Based on this research we will apply for follow up funding. Through national funds and/or European funds.

Abstract:

In 2010, in response to a UN recommendation and a European directive, the Council of Ministers adopted a Vision for deinstitutionalization in Bulgaria. The aim was to gradually close the mass social homes, to take the children out of them and to place them in foster families or children's centres (not more than 12), that means much closer to a family environment. The fam-ily came to the fore in the system of "triple protection" of children: from the family, from the state and from society. But the practice also outlined a new set of problems: for the preparation of foster parents, for the control over a large number of places for accommodation, for the psy-chological impact on the children raised by "transitory parents", etc.

Abstract:

Care has long been a gendered attribute, frequently associated with women but rarely, until very recently, understood as an ethic and action shaping the built environment. This paper proposes using the lens of care to uncover women’s material culture contributions to the built environment. Histories that focus on the formal intersection of architecture and town planning and their professional identities can exclude women makers who, historically had to find other ways to shape built material culture. Under the rubric of care, this paper examines how women makers worked in applied art media across a range of “care” sites through the post-suffrage organisation, the Victorian branch of the Country Women’s Association (CWA). This philanthropic organisation was established in 1928 to advance the rights and care of women, children, and families in regional areas. Through exhibitions, media, touring lecturers and an affiliation with the Victorian Arts and Crafts Society, the CWA Victoria used craft and domestic material culture to democratise craft ideals and ameliorate poor environments in rural homes and towns. It fostered public health, welfare and the comfort and repair of self and communities. Through these means the organisation also provided support for the influx of new arrivals generated from the post-war rural reconstruction schemes of soldier settlement and mass migration from Britain. These larger projects allied the CWA Victoria organisation to a post-war settler identity which reanimated settler myths of land. In early twentieth-century Australia, care of the settler, built environment was gendered and racialised, an event that prompts an intersectional reassessment of the feminist model of care.

Abstract:

Introdução: O meio ambiente é fonte de sobrevivência para o homem desde os primórdios, o mesmo retira dele seu sustento, extraindo riquezas naturais como: água, alimentos (frutos, legumes, carne bovina, carne suína, peixes, ovinos etc.). Para melhoramento da agricultura ao longo dos anos, o homem passou fazer o uso de substâncias químicas para acelerar processo de amadurecimento das frutas, evitar pragas e estimular o crescimento. A interferência do homem no meio ambiente acabou por prejudicar sua própria existência, os danos são tão grandes que interferem no processo saúde-doença. Objetivo: Portanto, o objetivo deste trabalho é realizar uma revisão de literatura acerca da relação homem – natureza e como a mesma pode afetar a agricultura e interferir no processo saúde-doença. Material e métodos: Para isto, foi realizada uma revisão de literatura nos bancos de dados Scielo e Pubmed. Resultados: Portanto a necessidade humana de desenvolvimento capitalista transformou o meio ambiente em uma moeda de troca levando a uma crise ambiental, na qual a sua própria existência passa a ser questionada. Segundo alguns autores como Balim, o homem primitivo não interferia na natureza sem cautela, sempre tentava manter o equilíbrio, mas ao modernizar seu modo de pensar, começou a estar no centro de tudo, sempre extraindo bens da natureza como se estes não fossem finitos. Conclusão: Esta forma de agir se encaixa em uma perspectiva simplista onde o meio ambiente é apenas um objeto para uso humano, necessitando assim de uma nova visão de mundo para entender que os recursos do planeta são finitos.

Full text

Abstract:

Establishing pipeline integrity requires an understanding of the specific threats, their relationship to the overall condition of the pipeline, and the mitigating measures required to assure safe operation. In the past, the pipeline industry relied on years of research and experience to develop a set of tools to analyze these threats and apply conservative solutions to ensure pipeline integrity. With the implementation of the Integrity Management Program (IMP) in 2004 by the Pipeline and Hazardous Material Safety Administration (PHMSA), pipeline integrity must be addressed by operators where the analysis methods and results must be documented and defendable. This paper presents a detailed discussion of how existing knowledge, advances in analytical techniques, experimental methods, and engineering rigor are combined to develop field-friendly tools to characterize and ensure pipeline integrity. Two case studies are included, the first, to demonstrate how the proposed method was used to assess the integrity of a corroded elbow, the second, provides the reader with an example of how to develop a tool for evaluating the severity of dents in pipelines using available public-domain research. It is the hope of the authors that the approach presented in this paper will foster further developments and advanced pipeline integrity management.

Full text

Abstract:

This case study analyzes a recent urban planning effort in the community of Comfort, Texas—which, like 90% of its neighbors in the Texas Hill Country—lacks a municipal government. The Texas Hill Country region is home to three of the ten fastest growing large counties in the United States, yet a widespread aversion to government fosters a lack of regulation that today threatens the local quality of air, water, and land. On November 3, 2015, 71% of Comfort residents voted against a proposition to incorporate their community. While the vote was clear in its rejection of municipal government, it did not suggest how a loose assortment of property owners, developers, non-profits, utility districts, and county officials might address the multiple and pressing challenges associated with rapid urban growth. Comfort Vision 2050 offers a plan tailored to the realities of life in an unincorporated community, establishing a novel approach to urban planning that is decentralized, non-governmental, incremental, actionable, coordinated, measurable, and transparent. The urban action plan specifically provides a list of 75 Strategic Initiatives that are small-scale, diverse, and possible to achieve without the benefit of municipal government. Collectively, the plan suggests a dispersed, distributed decision-making process that does not rely on a single organization or individual for success. This case study describes the efforts of a university-based community design center to develop a novel approach to urban planning in an unincorporated community. Ultimately, Comfort’s experience highlights the need to develop regional planning strategies that can address the needs of unincorporated communities, which after all need urban planning for all the same reasons that cities do: to prevent the fragmentation of local ecologies, maintain critical infrastructures, ensure access to housing, preserve physical and cultural his¬tory, attract and keep good jobs, expand critical services, facilitate civic discourse, and ensure timely decision-making.

Full text

Abstract:

The rationale of this paper research concerns on the necessity to understand Generation Z as a distinct footpath within behavioural economics. With thin wallets and expensive tastes, they highly value convenience and a social conscience. They don’t prize merchandises for they marginal utility anymore, but for the potential to be seamless and personal. Digitally native, they will define the next era of consumerism, and, to some extent, the behavioural economics. The global financial crisis of 2007-09 and the ensuing recession and the Covid-19 pandemic from 2020 have accelerated the pace of Generation Z economic behaviour, affected their attention span and the long run anticipations in favour of instant gratification, or “buy now, pay later” mentality. These two big economic shocks, one cyclical, one non-cyclical, have fostered pessimism among the young people who lived those provocative times. Many from Generation Z doubt they would be able to afford to retire or that they would ever own a home, hence the recklessness of their “all we have is now” behaviour. Luxury, welness, self-care is a template embraced by as many youngsters. The need for instant gratification is particularly influenced by the “noise “effect, a situation when people are to decide what to do, and not knowing what to do, they choose to do what they usually do by default. Considering the arguments and the facts presented in this paper, new insights could be delivered from this study to understand economic way of thinking and outcomes from a shifting type of economic actors.

Tuwhera Open Access, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.24135/link2021.v2i1.142.

Full text

Abstract:

This presentation advances a case study for an ongoing intercultural animation project which seeks to meaningfully educate New Zealand Tauiwi (the country's diverse groups, including migrants and refugees) on the values, customs and protocols (Tikanga) of Māori (the indigenous people of Aotearoa New Zealand). Ako For Niños (‘education for children’), implemented by a migrant social services organisation and media-design team, introduces Latin American Tauiwi to Tikanga through an animated children’s series, developed with a community short story writing competition and co-design with a kaitiaki (Māori guardian/advisor). Māori are recognised in Te Tiriti o Waitangi (the founding document of New Zealand) as partners with Pākeha (European New Zealanders), and Māori knowledge and Tikanga are important to society and culture in Aotearoa. Notwithstanding, there has been a historic lack of attention paid to developing meaningful understandings of Māori perspectives for New Zealand Tauiwi. Ako For Niños endeavours to address current shortages of engaging resources on Māori worldviews for Tauiwi communities, create opportunities for Tauiwi to benefit from Māori epistemologies, and foster healthy community relationships between Māori and Latin American Tauiwi. Through the project’s short story competition, Tauiwi were given definitions of Tikanga through a social media campaign, then prompted to write a children’s tale based on one of these in their native language. This encouraged Tauiwi to gain deeper comprehension of Māori values, and interpret Tikanga into their own expressions. Three winning entries were selected, then adapted into stop-motion and 2D animations. By converting the stories into aesthetically pleasing animated episodes, the Tikanga and narratives could be made more captivating for young audiences and families, appealing to the senses and emotions through visual storytelling, sound-design, and music. The media-design team worked closely with a kaitiaki during this process to better understand and communicate the Tikanga, adapting and co-designing the narratives in a culturally safe process. This ensured Māori knowledge, values, and interests were disseminated in correct and respectful ways. We argue for the importance of creative participation of Tauiwi, alongside co-design with Māori to produce educational intercultural design projects on Māori worldviews. Creative participation encourages new cultural knowledge to be imaginatively transliterated into personal interpretations and expressions of Tauiwi, allowing indigenous perspectives to be made more meaningful. This meaningful engagement with Māori values, which are more grounded in relational and human-centred concepts, can empower Tauiwi to feel more cared for and interconnected with their new home and culture. Additionally, co-design with Māori can help to honour Te Tiriti, and create spaces where Tauiwi, Pākeha and Māori interface in genuine partnership with agency (rangatiratanga), enhancing the credibility and value of outcomes. This session unpacks the contexts informing, and methods undertaken to develop the series, presenting current outcomes and expected directions (including a screening and exhibition). We will also highlight potential for the methodology to be applied in new ways in future, such as with other Tauiwi communities, different cultural knowledge, and increased collaborative co-design with Māori.

Full text

Abstract:

Our motivation is to apply the principles of Slow Design to the research on calculating carbon footprints, specifically by creating more “conscious” and “visible” interactive ways to inspire users to actively engage in the formation of their carbon footprint and gain more positive experiences from it. With the United Nations promoting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), there is an increasing number of carbon footprint calculation applications available. However, users need to accumulate long-term usage to provide estimates of their impact on both personal and environmental aspects and further receive recommendations for sustainable living. In the book "User Friendly," Kuang and Fabricant (2020) reveal that climate change can be a feedback problem. They state, "We don't know how much carbon we emit daily, and the target timelines are set too far in the future, making the effects invisible. Imagine if the effects of carbon emissions were exactly the same as they are now, but the accumulation of carbon turned blue into green. In such a world, it's hard to believe that anyone would still talk about whether human activities have any impact on the climate...." Therefore, we hope to leverage Slow Design to foster an emotional connection to this interactive behavior, enhance the cognitive model of actions, and bring about sustainable benefits. To achieve the application of Slow Design principles in the research on calculating carbon footprints, we employ creative ideation and design research methods, including (1) studying relevant literature and cases, (2) interacting with potential users and conducting interviews, (3) creating and testing low-fidelity prototypes, and discussing recommendations and strategies for carbon footprint calculation. These research findings can serve as references for future studies on Sustainable Development Goals.■ Slow Design and Carbon FootprintWe apply the principles of Slow Design to the research on calculating carbon footprints. Slow Design is a design philosophy inspired by the Slow Living movement in 1986, advocating for slowing down the pace of life and countering the fast-paced lifestyle and culture of mass consumption. It contrasts with the culture of fast consumption and immediate gratification, emphasizing sustainability and respecting human needs and the environment. Slow Design focuses on quality, details, and experiences to provide more meaningful and sustainable design solutions. On the other hand, Slow Design Computing is a concept that combines the principles of Slow Design with computer science. It adopts the values and principles of Slow Design and applies them to the field of computer science and digital technology.■ Calculation and Case EvaluationThe carbon footprint calculation method is a way to assess the greenhouse gas emissions produced by an individual, household, organization, or product. These emissions are typically expressed in terms of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e). The methods for calculating carbon footprints can vary depending on the subject of calculation and the data used. Relevant literature (Batmunkh, 2022) and accounting software and platforms available on the market, such as MOZE 3.0 (2021), can be utilized for this purpose.■ References[1]C. Kuang and R.

Full text

Abstract:

New speakers (individuals acquiring minority languages outside the home, typically later on in life) can make important contributions to minority language revitalisation. However, this can only happen if they become active and frequent users of the minority languages they have learnt. In many contexts, this is not the case. Taking Frisian in Fryslân as a case study, this blog post examines new speakers’ activation (the process by which they become active and habitual minority language users) – focusing specifically on how this is affected by traditional minority language speakers’ behaviours. The findings highlight how the complex dynamics between traditional and new speakers can hinder the latter’s activation. The blog post discusses the implications of these findings, concluding that there is a need for prestige planning to ameliorate intergroup relations – and thereby foster new speakers’ activation and promote minority language revitalisation.
