Abstract:
There are various barriers to home modifications to prevent falls among the older population. Several strategies may be necessary to overcome these barriers and implement effective home modifications. The need for home modification should be assessed, which requires a home evaluation by a specialist. In Japan, welfare housing environment coordinators have been trained to provide advice on home modifications suitable for people with disabilities. In addition, in Japan, home assessment and advice on home modification before discharge from acute care hospitals for older people is allowed as a medical reimbursement, and a system for effective home modification is well established. Human resource training and medical policy arrangements on home modifications could improve the cost-effectiveness. In Japan, a system has been established to support the costs of home modification and environmental maintenance. Financial support has reduced the barrier to home modification. Fixed grab bars or shower chairs can be rented, which may be more cost-effective than purchasing them and may shorten the time required for installation. There may be psychological barriers to home modification for older population. Since many older people do not recognize the importance of home modification, promotion to convey the value of home modification may be necessary. Training of staff to engage in home modification, public financial support for modification, and ideas for reducing psychological hesitation may help to reduce the barriers for home modification and to enable effective home modification.

Abstract:
Abstract With the aging of society, the long-term care insurance system -which includes home modifications to continue living at home- was established in 2000. However, the quality of home modifications has been persistent issue, and effective training is expected to conclusively solve this problem. To this end, the purpose of this study is to clarify the rational for training care managers who plan home modifications. A survey comprising two sets of questionnaires was conducted; one set encompassed is all 62municipalities in Tokyo, whereas the other involved care manager who participated in training program. The results of the first questionnaire showed that, out of 62 municipalities, 9 (14.5%) provided training on home modification, of which 8 (88.9%) provided training on administrative procedures. In one municipality that provided training on practical aspects of home modification, we provide questionnaires to 59 care managers participating in the training. -Lectures on administrative procedures, physical conditions of invalids, and reading drawings were conducted by administrative staff, occupational therapists, and architects, respectively. Afterwards, the participants attended a planning workshop. According to the questionnaire conducted after the workshop, 80.4% of the participants could understand home modifications in the system, 85.5% understood how to modify homes based on the occupants’ symptoms and physical conditions, 81.6% could interpret drawings, 90.2% could plan modifications, and 81.6% found the training useful. These findings indicate that the training of care managers has indeed been effective in actual practice. Improving the quality of home modifications through multidisciplinary cooperation is significant in maintaining home life.

Abstract:
How much can government-driven mortgage modification programs reduce the mortgage default rate? I compare an economy without a modification option to one with easy modifications, and evaluate the impact of these loan modifications on the foreclosure rate. Through loan modification, mortgage servicers can mitigate their losses and households can improve their financial positions without having to walk away from their homes. When modifying loan contracts is prohibitively costly, the default rate increases 1.5 percentage points in response to a 2007-style unexpected drop in housing prices of 30%. I calibrate the cost of modification after the financial crisis to match the Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP) modification rate of 0.68%. My quantitative exercises show that current government efforts to promote mortgage modifications reduce the mortgage default rate by 0.63 percentage points.

Abstract:
During the recent housing recession and financial crisis, mortgage modification has been heavily promoted by the U.S. government as a way to stabilize the housing and the national banking systems. Numerous programs, such as the Home Owners Preserving Equity (HOPE), Home Affordability Modification Program (HAMP), and Home Affordability Refinance Program (HARP), were introduced or enhanced to allow more aggressive modifications than traditionally observed prior to the crisis. Loan modification is believed to be a way to avoid foreclosure and to help borrowers keep their homes. However, the effectiveness of loan modification in preventing eventual foreclosure has not been quantified. In this paper, we use Federal Housing Administration (FHA) modified loans to analyze their re-default risk. We use loan-level data to trace the performance of loans with heavy modifications. We have three major empirical findings. First, the empirical model shows that modified loans tend to have much higher re-default risk than otherwise identical never-defaulted loans. Second, the re-default model shows that re-default hazard is less sensitive to traditional risk drivers, compared with non-modified loans. Third, the re-default risk declines initially with the magnitude of the payment reduction associated with the modification received. However, as the payment reduction becomes substantial, the probability of re-default increases. Our empirical results suggest payment reduction is most effective around the 10% to 30% level, in order to reduce re-default risk. The effect is relatively flat between the 30% to 40% level. Payment reduction beyond the 40% level increases re-default risk, controlling for all observable variables. These findings have profound implications in how lenders should design optimal modification policies.

Abstract:
Abstract This presentation details a mixed methods study funded by the National Institute for Transportation and Communities that was conducted with 50 older adults aged 65 and older who lived in Portland, Oregon (n=25) and Salt Lake County, Utah (n=25). The purpose of the study was to improve understanding of how home modifications affect older adults’ mobility in different life-spaces (e.g., one’s bedroom, neighborhood), their understanding of aging in place and neighborhood, and their ability to age in place. During each home visit, a series of research protocols (i.e., surveys, interviews, mapping exercises) were carried out with each participant. The study found that home modifications (e.g., grab bars, replacing showers with bathtubs, and adding raised toilets) were reported to increase in-home mobility and, for some, their independence; however, for certain participants, those same modifications were less useful, especially to those with the need for caregiver supports. Life-space mobility outside the home was impacted by home modification such as ramps and railings on stairs; for some, those modifications bolstered social connections and access to services. Overall, home modification were seen as enabling both mobility and aging in place. Furthermore, respondents’ understanding and description of their neighborhoods varied greatly and were influenced by mobility barriers (e.g., presence of sidewalks and crosswalks) and available amenities.

Abstract:
Objectives: To describe the prevalence of bathroom modifications, clutter, and tripping hazards in the homes of US older adults and to examine changes after an incident fall. Methods: We used data from the 2015–2017 National Health and Aging Trends Study ( n = 7499). Outcomes were the prevalence of bathroom modifications, clutter, and tripping hazards and changes after incident fall. Results: In 2015, 26.5% of community-dwelling older adults had clutter or tripping hazards in the home, and 69.3% had at least one bathroom modification. Compared to nonfallers, older adults with multiple falls were significantly more likely to modify the bathroom. The magnitude of hazard reduction was similar after multiple falls but was not statistically significant. Discussion: Bathroom modifications are common and increase after multiple falls. A single incident fall does not appear to lead to home environment changes to reduce fall risk. Targeting home hazards may be an opportunity to reduce fall risk.

Includes bibliographical references (p. 89-90).
Since its origin in the postwar period the image and spatial structure surrounding the suburban house has perpetuated a singular notion of what house and family are. This postwar concept of what the average family and house are do not correspond to the multiple social groupings and life-styles prevalent today. As it is currently produced, the suburban house is intended in form, program and policy for a single-family structure, and any attempt to alter these aspects produces a disjuncture between the structure and the household it must support. While some, such as Dolores Hayden, have suggested alternative housing designs for those families that do not match the postwar notion of the average family, these families remain marginalized by the form, policy, and space afforded them in available housing. Given the multiplicity of household organizations present today, several examples of domestic architecture provide insight into potential spatial characteristics that allow flexibility in response to alterations in the constructs surrounding family organization and use. In formulating a new sense of spatial organization, qualities of place extracted from existing models provide an understanding of the spatial characteristics necessary to make the house function as a place for both collective activity and private, individual habitation. Aspects of these precedents -- contextual relationships, transition space, threshold, and access -- serve to support necessary distinctions between public and private realms of the house, while simultaneously allowing for the flexibility necessary to accommodate changing social structures. The implementation of a new structure for the suburban house that is based in a spatial rather than programmatic distinction of place is intrinsic to the meaning of the house in its current social context. Such a framework for thinking about the house can provide a basis for a lasting structure in the suburbs, while allowing for alterations in the specific aspects required of the dwelling that will inevitably change with the passage of time. In response to the need for a change in the nature of the suburban house, a series of diagrams are proposed as a means of reconciling the discrepancies found between the suburban house and the current exigencies of American families. Through the application of a series of spatial arrangements derived from existing models, these diagrams are intended as an operative framework for rethinking the design of the suburban house. By employing the spatial characteristics found in the precedents and overlaying needs, family structures, and use patterns, the diagrams are able to provide a flexible structure for the suburban house -- one that is able to turn the house, an object of repetitive production, into a home that can accommodate a multiplicity of households.

Sensor-enabled computer systems capable of recognizing specific activities taking place in the home may enable a host of "context-aware" applications such as health monitoring, home automation, remote presence, and on-demand information and learning, among others. Current state-of-the-art systems can achieve close to 90% accuracy in certain situations, but the decision processes involved in this recognition are too complex for the end-users of the home to understand. Even at 90% accuracy, errors are inevitable and frequent, and when they do occur the end-users have no tools to understand the cause of errors or to correct them. Instead of such complex approaches, this work proposes and evaluates a simplified, user-centric activity recognition system that can be understood, modified, and improved by the occupants of a context-aware home. The system, named Distinguish, relies on high-level, common sense information to construct activity models used in recognition. These models are transferable between homes and can be modified on a mobile phone-sized screen. Observations are reported from a pilot evaluation of Distinguish on naturalistic data gathered continuously from an instrumented home over a period of a month. Without any knowledge of the target home or its occupant's behaviors and no training data other than common sense information contributed by web users, the system achieved a baseline activity recognition accuracy of 20% with 51 target activities. A user test with 10 participants demonstrated that end-users were able to not only understand the cause of the errors, but with a few minutes of effort were also able to improve the system's accuracy in recognizing a particular activity from 12.5% to 52.3%. Based on the user study, 5 design recommendations are presented.

Abstract:
While home schooling is by no means a new phenomenon, the last three decades have seen an increasing trend in the engagement of this educational alternative. In many countries, including Australia, a growing number of families are opting to remove their children from the traditional schooling system for numerous reasons and educate them at home. In response to the recent home schooling movement a research base in this area of education has emerged. However, the majority of research has been undertaken primarily in the United States of America and the United Kingdom, with very few studies having examined home schooling in Australia. The existing corpus of research is also relatively small and incomplete. Also, certain categories of home schoolers and the processes involved in their undertaking of this modern version of a historically enduring educational alternative have been overlooked. In particular, children with disabilities appear to be one of the home schooling groups that have attracted very little research world wide. This group constituted the focus of the study reported in this thesis. Its particular concern was with generating theory regarding how parents deal with educating their children with intellectual disabilities from a home base over a period of one year. Data gathering was largely carried out through individual, face-to-face semi-structured interviewing and participant observation in the interpretivist qualitative research tradition. However, informal interviews, telephone interviews and documents were also used to gather supplementary data for the study. Data were coded and analysed using the open coding method of the grounded theory model and through the development and testing of propositions. The central research question which guided theory generation was as follows: 'How do parents within the Perth metropolitan area in the state of Western Australia deal with educating their children with intellectual disabilities from a home base over a period of one year?' The central proposition of the theory generated is that parents do so through progressive modification and that this involves them progressing through three stages over a period of one year. The first stage is designated the stage of drawing upon readily-available resources. The second stage is designated the stage of drawing upon support networks in a systematic fashion. The third stage is designated the stage of proceeding with confidence on the basis of having a set of principles for establishing a workable pattern of home schooling individualised for each circumstance. This theory provides a new perspective on how parents deal with the home schooling of their children with intellectual disabilities over a period of one year. A number of implications for further theory development, policy and practice are drawn from it. Several recommendations for further research are also made.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis aims to advance the understanding of ultrasonic processing for the alteration of food microstructures. It considers the impact of ultrasonic processing upon protein structure and for emulsification. It was shown that ultrasound treatment of proteins reduced the hydrodynamic volume of protein aggregates by ultrasonic cavitations. Insufficient acoustic energy was provided to achieve proteolysis. Emulsions prepared with ultrasound treated milk protein isolate, pea protein isolate and bovine gelatin yielded smaller, stable emulsion droplets in comparison to their untreated counterparts. This behaviour is ascribed to more rapid adsorption of protein at the oil-water interface and improved interfacial packing, due to reduction in protein aggregate size. The droplet size of emulsions with sufficient emulsifier (> 0.5 wt. %) emulsion droplet size can be predicted from a mathematical relation between emulsion droplet size (d3,2) and energy density (Ev), an inverse power law. Droplet size predictions were unattainable at low emulsifier concentrations (≤ 0.5 wt. %) due to re-coalescence behaviour attributed to insufficiency of emulsifier and droplet collisions within the acoustic field. Continuous processing yields more efficient utilisation of acoustic energy in comparison to batch configurations due to the intense transmission of acoustic energy within the smaller processing volumes.

Full text
Abstract:
This research portfolio sought to examine and extend current evidence around the potential for home-based Cognitive Bias Modification (CBM) training to retrain interpretive biases and improve emotional pathology. To this aim, 12 published studies exploring this potential in depression and anxiety were systematically reviewed. Overall, evidence for clearer training effects appeared to follow studies for which CBM targeted depressive interpretive biases, which typically adopted a different delivery modality for the training. Studies exploring CBM utility in anxiety-based presentations were less homogenous in their clinical focus. A common confound in this research appeared to be lack of between-group differences due to unanticipated improvements in control groups. An empirical study is then presented, which explored the efficacy of a home-based CBM package targeting worry in an older adult sample reporting generalised anxiety symptomology. Six individuals participated in this nonconcurrent multiple baseline study involving a seven-day CBM training phase and follow-up. The study identified a moderate response to CBM, in which half the sample showed evidence of training improvements in daily well-being measures. Overall changes in diagnostic scores of generalised anxiety symptomology indicated statistically reliable but not clinically meaningful progress. Performance data provided key insight into potential moderating factors affecting CBM efficacy, such as anxiety-related interference of engagement with the training. Despite the study’s originality in terms of both the sample’s age cohort and clinical presentation, the results largely coincide with the 12 reviewed studies. The portfolio concludes with recommendations for future research, with advice to extend the age range of study samples to include appropriate lifespan representation.

Abstract:
After the recent housing bubble burst, foreclosures ran rampant across the United States. Focused concentrations occurred in Florida, California, Nevada, Utah, and other states. Despite government intervention through many foreclosure mitigation plans, the housing market is still incredibly volatile today. With many plans proving ineffective, the Obama Administration has its hopes set on the Making Home Affordable program (MHA), which is broken down into the Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP) and the Home Affordable Refinance Program (HARP). This study seeks to evaluate the effectiveness of the Home Affordable Modification Program on overall and individual mortgage servicer levels by assessing changes in effectiveness of the overall program and evaluating each mortgage company’s effectiveness over time.

AbstractSmart Home Technology (SHT) as assistive technology (AT) is becoming an important active research field in the field of rehabilitation. For this purpose, Home Modification (HM) is one of the most common ways to improve the quality of life of the Persons with physical disabilities (PwPD). In this context, we propose a new Smart Home-based Home Modification Program (SHbHM) to improve the quality of life for PwPD. Our method simply uses Bluetooth or extends to Wi-Fi and Zigbee networks. A pilot study was conducted with five PwPD at home to investigate the effectiveness of the program. The reported results show a high quality of life, and the occupational performance and satisfaction are greatly improved, indicating that it is an efficient alternative.

Abstract:
This paper studies the effect of design improvements generally prescribed for the piston pin hole on induced stresses with the help of finite element analysis techniques. This decade has seen a very significant increase in the load rating of internal combustion engines. The engines develop a pressure to the tune of 180 bar and more, which needs to be supported by the pin hole, which rests on the piston pin. Predictions of the effect of the increased load on the pin hole and design modifications to support the higher load have become very important activities during the course of piston development. Two design modification options are studied in this paper. The first modification is based on reducing stress concentration by suitably machining a taper profile for a pre-calculated distance at the inner boss zone. The second modification is carried out by having pin hole longitudinal relieves, popularly known as lube slots. Any modification carried out in the pin hole has an influence on the stress distribution at the bowl zone. Therefore, in addition to the pin hole stress, a thorough study on the stress distribution in the bowl zone is also carried out. The numerical results obtained for the modified designs are compared with the base line configuration and the effects of the modifications are discussed in detail. The modifications are found to have a significant effect in reducing the pin hole hoop stress, which is tensile in nature. But at the same time, it has been observed that the tensile hoop stress value in the bowl area increases. Therefore, it is concluded that the suggested pin hole improvements can be carried out if the induced hoop stress values do not exceed the prescribed values for the selected material. Further studies were made to analyze the influence of thermal loading on the stress induced and also to analyze the influence of combined (mechanical and thermal) loading on the induced stress. The thermal hoop stress were compressive in nature and hence its influence on the combined loading is significant. In this paper the results are normalized and shown as tables and figures.

Abstract:
As the popularity of video game playing has increased, educators have sought to co-opt video games as an instructional tool. However, educational games have made little impact in either the commercial market place or the average game player’s home library. The modification, or modding, of video games using in-game editors may be used by instructors to introduce educational content to professionally designed video games. This paper examines the effectiveness of a modified video game, Civilization IV, in improving the comprehension and retention of historical knowledge of 10th, 11th, and 12th grade students. Students exposed to the modified video game significantly improved their immediate recall of knowledge level history items. Students expressed interest in future educational game playing and felt that they had a better understanding of application level history items. While these results are encouraging, the small sample size of this experiment prevents generalization and necessitates further study.

Full text
Abstract:
As a result of a tragic accident in Southern Austria, all L-13 “Blanik” sailplanes were grounded. During this accident, the factory structural design failed, even though the plane underwent all mandatory inspections and repairs. The intention of this article is to introduce the possibilities of structural modification of this aircraft, specifically its wing beam and hinge. Already existing modifications are described, as well as new ones with the aim to strengthen its critical parts. Structural modification of the wing hinge and beam, replacement of rivet joints with stronger Hi-Loks and use of different hole angles to ensure a firmer joint and better stress distribution around these holes are covered. Last two beforementioned modifications are described in more detail, a tensile test is carried out and its results are compared to the results of the control samples. In the end, viability and practicability of these modifications are discussed.

Full text
Abstract:
This article describes a novel method of indirect estimation of intra-ocular pressure using tactile sensors. Two sensor calibration methods have been demonstrated: an artificial neural network (ANN) model and a phenomenological reduced-parameter model based on finite element analysis. The ANN method showed superior performance with an accuracy of +/− 0.7 mmHg, while the reduced order method showed an accuracy of +/− 3.11 mmHg. The latter method however allows calibration of the tactile tonometer from a single pressure measurement if the geometry of the probes is known and satisfying certain solvability conditions. The ANN method was demonstrated using experiment data, while the reduced-order model was tested numerically. Due to its indirect and non-invasive nature, the proposed tactile measurement method can be used in the development of a self-administered home tonometer for management of glaucoma, however the presence of an eye lid might require modification of the calibration procedure outlined here.

Full text
Abstract:
Gait modification is a conservative, non-invasive treatment option for patients with medial compartment knee osteoarthritis. If proven effective for offloading the medial compartment, it may provide one of the few treatment options with disease modifying potential. Furthermore, it could fill an important therapeutic “hole” for patients in their 40’s and 50’s who no longer achieve sufficient pain relief through pharmacological means and yet are too young to receive a total knee replacement. A variety of gait modifications have been proposed for offloading the medial compartment, including toeing out [1], walking more slowly or with decreased stride length [2], walking with increased medial-lateral trunk sway [3], using lateral heel wedges [4], or walking with medialized knees [5]. These modifications have been proposed primarily based on their ability to reduce the external knee adduction torque. While this external measure is highly correlated with medial compartment contact force [6], the acid test is to demonstrate experimentally that a gait modification reduces medial contact force directly.

Abstract:
<p>Built over 100 years ago, 1789 Massachusetts Avenue NW was one of the earliest luxury apartment buildings in Washington, DC, and was home to several distinguished individuals including millionaire industrialist and art patron Andrew Mellon. In 1976 the Building was purchased and became home to The National Trust for Historic Preservation. A new owner purchased the building in 2013 and proposed long-needed repairs and modernizations. To achieve the goals of this renovation, a new penthouse was added above the existing roof, and a full floor was added below the original historic building footprint.</p><p>Among several unique aspects of this project, one which makes it note-worthy from a preservation engineering perspective, was the design approach used to achieve seismic code compliance for the lateral system of the building. Given the level of Structural Modification, the project was considered a Level 3 Alteration in the IEBC. The historic façade is integral with the original steel frame of the building and absorbs lateral forces. The degree of fenestration and composite wall construction makes its contribution difficult to quantify. Ignoring the contribution of historic facades can lead to overly conservative design of new lateral systems. Conversely, assuming that the existing facades can resist seismic forces without careful consideration can lead to damage of the historic finishes and unintended consequences in the building envelope performance. Silman performed a series of nonlinear analyses as part of a 'performance based' approach, more common to the west coast, to benefit from the contribution of the existing historic masonry on the lateral resistance of the building while quantitatively limiting damage to the historic fabric under the seismic events. The resulting design achieved an optimal balance reducing the lateral demand on the new components of the building while providing the quantified protection of this important historical resource.</p>

Abstract:
When home serves as workplace, the interface of domestic and productive spheres has spatial and social effects on various users of the space, scaling at times to the neighbourhood and the city. This study looks at all the ways in which home aids work — spatially and infrastructurally — and illustrates the role of various factors and actors in engaging with and shaping the work-home boundary. Work-homes in the Global South often engage transversally with formal planning. Users of work-homes exercise their agency in complex ways to maneuver the work-home boundary, often making post-facto modifications to the work-home. The study collates a repository of spatial and temporal innovation strategies devised by users to balance domestic and productive spheres in their homes, as a site to derive lessons for planning, housing policy and architecture. It investigates the role of the state in spatially enabling or limiting work-homes, and using the Indian context as an illustrative example, suggests enabling frameworks in planning that address the spatial particularities of work-homes

Abstract:
Many people enjoy wildlife. Nationwide, Americans spend over $144 billion annually on fishing, hunting, and wildlife-watching activities. However, wildlife is not always welcome in or near homes, buildings, or other property and can cause significant damage or health and safety issues. Many people who experience a wildlife conflict prefer to resolve the issue without harming the offending animal. Of the many options available (i.e., habitat modification, exclusion, repellents) for addressing nuisance wildlife problems, translocation—capturing and moving—of the offending animal is often perceived to be effective. However, trapping and translocating wild animals is rarely legal nor is it considered a viable solution by wildlife professionals for resolving most nuisance wildlife problems. Reasons to avoid translocating nuisance wildlife include legal restrictions, disease concerns, liability issues associated with injuries or damage caused by a translocated animal, stress to the animal, homing behavior, and risk of death to the animal. Translocation is appropriate in some situations such as re-establishing endangered species, enhancing genetic diversity, and stocking species in formerly occupied habitats. The main focus of this publication, however, is to address nuisance wildlife issues that may be commonly encountered by homeowners and nuisance wildlife control professionals.
