Abstract:
Abstract Using ethnographic materials collected in 2008 and 2009 in a distant and isolated village in East Siberia, this article shows how slow and distorted connections contribute to the development of a specific eco-biopolitical space that can be likened to a spaceship physically disconnected from the mainland. Life in such a ‘bubble’ is dependent on supplies from the mainland, which create rhythms of activities in the community. The lack of access to state services and institutions is compensated by local initiatives to mimic such organisations. The state provides channels of escape from the village, such as emergency flights, but does not invest in infrastructures that would link this settlement to other places. The community ‘bubble’ exists not because of infrastructural absence per se, but because this isolation is asymmetrical. It is easier and faster to get from the village to the centre than it is to return. This imbalance expresses the power relations between the centre and periphery and systematically reproduces conditions in which resources drain from the village. This ‘slow connection’ is the condition for the creation of a specific eco-biopolitical regime, in which a rich place is occupied by people living in poverty.

Abstract:
As the pace of life in contemporary Western society accelerates, an increasing number of people are engaging in an alternative lifestyle: ‘Slow Living’. Although popular in the media, Slow Living, which addresses issues of quality of life, is a relatively new area of academic enquiry. Given a lack of empirical research, especially on the realities of the Slow Life in a New Zealand context, this ethnographic study aims to augment the knowledge on this lifestyle by focusing on how families experience Slow Living. The key research question is: How do families live their interpretations of a Slow Life? To answer this question, this study examined the everyday lives of five Slow Living families in Canterbury, New Zealand. Adult family members were given a time-use diary to complete over two days. These diaries were then used as a foundation for in-depth interviews and participant observation. Slow Living families hold to a number of personal values, such as personal agency, conscious living and leading meaningful lives. These comprise their ideal way of living. The families are also faced with a number of challenges and have to employ strategies to balance their ideal and what is possible. The different ways families adapt produces a variety of Slow Living lifestyles.

Experiential living is the new trend for future living. Whether it is through living in micro spaces, flexible units, mixed-use developments, practicing urban farming, or sharing lifestyles, these different trends of living intersects at the overlapping theme of experiential living. At the same time, Seoul is facing a final wave of 'retirement age' of the first generation of post-war urban housing apartments. Instead of the typical scrap-and-build urban renewal method (the culprit of the formation of 'apartment city', with over 60% of housing stock as apartments), is there an alternate method of urban redevelopment? This thesis investigates idea of small-scale urban renewal by integrating the idea of 'experiential slow living' in the existing low-rise, enclosed apartment community. Can this idea of transforming the ground level experience with slow food (productive landscapes) and slow craft (mixed-use living and shared spaces) become the alternative model for urban renewal that can be practiced throughout the city of apartments?

Abstract:
This thesis takes its departure in the view of modern society as being characterised by a heavy focus on efficiency and economic growth, and perception that everything is moving faster and faster in line with Hartmut Rosa´s theory of social acceleration. The effects of this can be seen in rising numbers of stress related sicknesses and mental health problems, as well as a heavy pressure on the earths resources to facilitate continued growth. The aim of the thesis is to investigate the challenges and possibilities for individuals in Sweden to slow down and live a simpler life in this context. Previous research suggests that slower lifestyles can be beneficial both for well-being and environmental sustainability reasons, so understanding the preconditions of this to be possible can be an important aspect when trying to plan for a sustainable future. The theoretical framework consists of the model of voluntary simplicity lifestyle by Osikominu and Bocken (2020), the theory of social acceleration by Rosa (2009) and selected writings on Social Change. The thesis is based on a thematic analysis of empiric material from individuals in Sweden who has transitioned to a slower and more simple lifestyle, generally in terms of working less, reducing their consumption and living closer no nature, and also are visible on social media, reaching out to many others as inspiration. The material consists of writings and recordings from the study-persons in the form of blog-posts and podcasts. The study could confirm that many parts of the VSL-model also were applicable and experienced in the Swedish context. Most participants had in common that their previous lifestyle was characterised by stress, pressure, and living according to others expectations, in line with Rosa´s theory of social acceleration. Their new slower and simpler lifestyles were a decision to follow their own path in life and start to value their time more. The challenges that could be recognised was the norm of working full-time, achievement values, living outside the norm, ethical dilemmas regarding consumption and, for those living on the countryside, transport and infrastructure. The possibilities most recognised were concerning their wellbeing, closely related to their possibility of finding time for recovery, as well as living more in contact with the environment. Social life appeared both as a challenge and a possibility.

Abstract:
Rats are predominantly viewed and understood as pests, vermin and a risk to human health. Yet little is known about rats in the urban space and the entangled relationships they have with humans and the environment. This dissertation elaborates on the multiple identities that are connotated to rats as well as the complex relationships they have with people residing in Site C, Khayelitsha, Cape Town, South Africa - an African township comprising formal and informal housing areas on the outskirts of the city. Through locating these complex relationships and engaging with stories and experiences of people living in close proximity to rats, an image of the rat emerged, mirror-like, reflecting the realities of inequality and slow violence in the lives of people residing in Site C. To illustrate the nuances related to inequality and slow violence, this dissertation analyses the manner in which rats are controlled in the city of Cape Town and by whom, the polluted river in 'Island’ - an informal area in Site C, and how people negotiate living alongside rats, witchcraft and violence in the everyday. This dissertation argues that instead of focusing on rats as vermin, pests or a risk to human health, through 'following’ them and the complex entanglements they have with us as humans, we are able to learn about the realities that many people face; realities which are characterised by inequality and slow violence. The dissertation ultimately contributes to an ongoing debate about rat control policies in the city of Cape Town and suggests considerations which need to be made in order to address the violence against the rat and the violence against people residing in spaces such as Site C.

Dissertação de mestrado em Arquitectura.
Exame público realizado em 03 de Fevereiro de 2014.
Face a uma sociedade contemporânea que vive em constante aceleração, num mundo frenético e atarefado, onde o tempo livre e as relações sociais deixam de fazer sentido, é emergente a mudança do modo de vida deste indivíduo moderno. O culto pela velocidade tem vindo a ser incutida à sociedade ao longo dos tempos e é no desenho urbano, que se reflecte estas mudanças do modus vivendi. Assim, estudamos a temática do Slow Living e o seu papel na cidade como alternativa a esta de vivência contemporânea, tendo em conta os motivos do seu aparecimento e de que forma pode influenciar a sociedade a abrandar. A cidade transmite essa necessidade de velocidade da sociedade e sua dependência pelo automóvel, desta forma, deparamo-nos com espaços públicos desumanizados. Tendo em conta a problemática vivencial da sociedade moderna e a falta de vivência nos espaços públicos, entendemos como é possível qualificá-lo, nomeadamente a rua residencial, para fomentar o slow living e com isso atrair as pessoas para o exterior público. Partindo deste entendimento estudamos soluções arquitectónicas que demonstram as possibilidades de uma intervenção slow no espaço público. Na continuação do estudo desta temática, propomos um ensaio projectual, numa cidade média Portuguesa, onde desenvolvemos um modelo de rua residencial slow capaz de sugerir às pessoas uma vivência mais equilibrada e consequentemente garantir um espaço humanizado da cidade.
Faced with a contemporary society that lives in constant acceleration, in a busy and hectic world, where free time and social relations no longer make sense, is necessary to change the mode of life of the modern individual. The cult of the speed has been instilled into the sociely over time and is in the urban design that reflects these changes of modus vivendi. In consequence, we studied the theme of Slow Living in the city and its role as an alternative to this contemporary living, taking into account the reasons for their appearance and how they can influence society to slow down. The city transmits this need for speed of the society and its dependence on the automobile, for these reasons, we find public dehumanized space. Given the existential problematic of modern society and the lack of public experiences, we understand how to qualify it, focused in the residential street, to foster the slow living and with that attract people to the public space. From this understanding we studied architectural solutions that demonstrate the possibilities of a slow intervention in public space. In the further study of this issue, we propose a project-test, a Portuguese average city, where we develop a model of slow residential street that is able to suggest people a more balanced and consequently a humanized public space in the city.

Com a cidade como pano de fundo e maior fonte de inspiração, nasce um projeto com uma dinâmica muito própria, que se vai estruturando por meio de análise das vivências e hábitos contemporâneos, numa procura constante por responder às necessidades e anseios do Homem actual, que se define como flexível, impermanente e em constante movimento. Fruto destas práticas surgem de novo conceitos que se apresentam imponentes com o prefixo - Co: o Cohousing, o Coworking, o Co-sharing, o Coliving. Associados a estas experiências notamos a urgência em praticar o modo de vida mais brando e focado, mas sem descurar que a velocidade é também essencial, o objectivo é por isso alcançar o equilíbrio e perceber que a excelência resulta na perícia de os conciliar. As sinergias entre pessoas, culturas, conhecimentos, experiências e espaços são assim essenciais para revelar o conceito por detrás do projeto aqui proposto. De forma a adequar e responder a todas as necessidades de um programa tão extenso e desafiante, analisamos a articulação e permeabilidade entre os diferentes espaços como potenciadora de um habitar mais rico e completo, estudando como conceitos intuitivamente opostos como o interior/exterior, público/privado, limite/linear, na verdade se complementam e coexistem num diálogo reciproco estabelecendo entre si relações interessantes de cordialidade, de indiferença ou de ruptura total e promovem assim uma participação sensorial com a edificação e a envolvente, enriquecem o diálogo, permitem interpretações e associações, estimulam o contacto e enriquecem o quotidiano. Surge assim o Focus community, um projeto que pretende interpretar as necessidades e desejos traduzindo-os do conceito para a realidade construída.

Abstract:
Os espaços que habitamos, com o passar do tempo, têm sido contaminados por uma “velocidade”. Esta velocidade, ponto focal do estilo de vida contemporâneo, causa em nós a sensação de que 24 horas não são suficientes para fazer tudo o que queremos. Podemos identificar a revolução industrial como ponto de viragem, quando o aparecimento da máquina e a celeridade que esta trouxe tiveram um forte impacto no nosso quotidiano. Para contrariar este processo é necessário assegurar a qualidade dos ambientes que habitamos, a qualidade dos espaços, qualidade de vida e da imagem. É necessária uma apropriação por parte dos moradores para que entendam as habitações como uma extensão de si próprios. Slow Living, que significa algo pessoal para cada um de nós, demonstra que uma maneira forte de nos expressarmos é através das nossas casas. Este conceito propõe que se trabalhe somente com o mínimo indispensável à vida, no entanto, e esse é dos pontos referidos com mais veemência pelos seus precursores, defende ainda que se viva com intenção e com alma.

Hand drip coffee is a Slow Living action, which is different from instantly getting a cup of coffee by pushing a button on a machine. Pour hot water with a dance-like rhythm, enjoy the mixture of coffee powders and water, and spend time waiting for this very personalized coffee. Slow Living means that we have to savor and experience every single detail in life, and since hand drip coffee conform to slow living, can the used devices be categorized as slow living products? When the dripper is no longer a funnel-like cup and just being a device, the product can also convey thoughts and guide the user’s psychological level, and then it can further deepen the connection between humans and things. Let hand drip coffee and the involved links match the meaning of Slow Living. In this study, learn the structure and the principle through the discussion with barista, confer the function of slow living products by literature review, then rethink and redefine the form of the coffee drip cone. Concepts of the creation in this study accord to the sense experience in the coffee-making process by observing. Then lead to three different faces of the drip cone design. Design 1 “Vase-Dripper”: By transforming the shape of the cone, increase the visual experience, and raise the existence of the cone in our lives. Design 2 “Donut-Dripper”: The concept comes from the connection between coffee and desserts, appears as a wood toy and shows childish, also shows more touch. Design 3 “Coffee-Tao”: Shows as the image of Oriental tea product, leads people being more concentrate and serious on the coffee-making process. After reviewing the work, we took the follow-up mass production into consideration and came up with a revised project.

The modern quick living style brings great negative consequences to human being. The slow living movement means not only to slow down and spend leisure time, but also to be more focused on aspects like “balance between body and mind”, “relationship between human being and environment” and “transformation of Lebensfuhrung”; in this way, the user can build up personal and social values. Currently, there is no clear definition and concrete studies about slow-living oriented product design; therefore, this paper pretends, through studying and synthesizing the related literature resources, addresses the six refrences to designers, based on the former aspects of slow living, which can be applied to product design with such lifestyle content. The six references are: the enhancement of personal self-mastery and ability; the function of recreation; the transformation of Lebensfuhrung; the enjoyment of process and experience; the development of mentality mode; and, finally, the establishment of connection. This paper uses the six references mentioned above in case analyzation to conclude design direction from different levels in life into four points: (1) level of slow-working: products should assist users and improve concentration in their work scenario. (2) level of leisure: the more leisure scenario means a better development in “slow-living”; and, focusing on user experiences and user consciousness, allows users to enjoy the scenarios in a more relaxing way. (3) level of establishing connection: sharing an experience with others through an activity improves a better connection between each user, thus improving the Lebensfuhrung. (4) level of user educational development: this level establishes a more meaningful connection and reflects a positive external development by improving self-determination and capability, in-depth experience process, and psychological state of the product.

Abstract:
Dissertação de mestrado em Arquitectura.
Exame público realizado em 15 de Maio de 2017.
A presente dissertação ganha forma após uma extensa investigação e reflexão inerente à causalidade, entre o surgimento da industrialização e a consequente aceleração vivêncial que se tem verificado até aos dias de hoje. Com os efeitos da globalização cada vez mais vincados na sociedade actual, traduzidos pelo excesso de horas de trabalho e problemas de saúde, a necessidade de estabelecer mecanismos de combate a estas problemáticas torna-se portanto imperativo. Através de autores como Carl Honoré e António Coelho este nosso ensaio procura retractar a realidade actual da cidade de Amarante, nos seus quarteirões e como através da arquitectura aliada à temática Slow podemos criar “inputs” que visam melhorar as vertentes sociais, económicas e habitacionais de forma a simultaneamente mitigar a taxa de desemprego, despoletar determinados valores sociais que se têm vindo a perder e procurar melhorar a qualidade de vida da população residente, usufruindo de uma ”nova” vivência aferida na escala de quarteirão. A conceptualização da proposta baseou-se nos pressupostos do Slow Living, que consiste resumidamente num bem estar pessoal, familiar e em comunidade, através da junção de várias ferramentas inerentes ao Slow. A resultante consistiu na elaboração de um “master plan” onde estaria presente um parque ecológico associado a um quarteirão habitacional para os operários da principal zona industrial da cidade de Amarante de forma a melhorar o rendimento e qualidade de vida, resultando em futuros investimentos e consequentemente novos quarteirões Slow Living, sem no entanto, forçar a cidade a aderir ao movimento, mas sim seduzindo-a a aderir.
The following dissertation takes shape after an extended investigation and reflection inherent to the correlation between the appearance of industrialization and the following life style acceleration that we have been experiencing up until today. With the globalization effects more noticeable in today’s society, expressed by the excess hours of work and health problems, the need to establish certain mechanisms to engage these problematics has become imperative. Through authors as Carl Honoré and António Coelho, our exercise attempts to portray the current reality of the city of Amarante, and it’s blocks, as well as how through architecture allied to the slow thematic, we can create inputs that aim to improve the social and economic and housing aspects of society, so we can simultaneously improve the unemployment rate, inducing certain social values that we have been losing and striving to improve the quality of life of the resident population, providing a “new” lifestyle in a block scale. The conceptualization of this proposal is based in the premises of the Slow Living, which in a brief way consists of a personal, familiar and community well-being, through the junction of some tools inherent to Slow. The outcome consisted in an elaboration of a master plan where an ecological park is present, associated with an habitational block for the working class of the main industrial area of the city of Amarante, in a way that the quality of life is improved as well as performance, resulting in future investment opportunities and consequently new Slow Living blocks, without forcing the city to associate with the movement, but in a way seducing it.

Abstract:
Cittàslow movement was established in Italy in 1999. The Slow City movement incorporates a philosophy and a commitment to maintain the cultural heritage and quality of life of their membership towns. A slow city aims to improve the quality of life of its citizens and its visitors. Member towns are obliged to pursue local projects protecting local cultures, contributing to a relaxed pace of life, creating conviviality and hospitality and promoting a unique sense of place and local distinctiveness. There are nine slow cities in Turkey in 2013. This study examines the women entrepreneurship in slow cities of Turkey from a sociological perspective. Slow cities offer many opportunities in the meaning of local development especially for women in Turkey. They can engage with small business, hand-crafts, and organic farming in slow cities. But training of women, certification of the quality of artisan products and awareness of the citizens of slow cities are the critical issues in the sustainable local development process. Therefore, it is possible to increase income level of women living in slow cities in Turkey and also to preserve local tastes.

Abstract:
Mild traumatic brain injuries (mTBI) are common in soldiers and athletes, and can affect many areas of a person’s daily life including gait [1]. Current methods of measuring gait parameters involve expensive optical motion capture systems, time intensive setup, wires, complicated filtering techniques, and a laboratory setting. A wearable and wireless motion analysis system would allow gait analysis to be performed outside of a laboratory setting during activities of daily living, in a clinical setting or on a football field. The purpose of this study was to develop and verify an algorithm to calculate knee flexion during slow gait, particularly during terminal stance and pre-swing phases, using wireless wearable sensors.

Abstract:
A major challenge to the eventual success of the emerging cell-based medical technologies such as tissue engineering, regenerative medicine and cell transplantation is the limited availability of the desired cell sources [1]. This challenge can be alleviated by cell microencapsulation to avoid undesired immune response (i.e., immunoisolation) so that non-autologous cells can be used to treat human diseases, and by cell cryopreservation to establish banks of important living cells for wide distribution to end users so that they are readily available when needed in the future [2,3]. Although cell microencapsulation has been investigated since 1960s with promising outcomes, cryopreservation of microencapsulated cells has not been well studied. The major challenges are associated with the cell toxicity of the high concentration (> 4–6 M) of cryoprotectants used for vitrification and the loss of microcapsule integrity due to ice formation during slow freezing [4]. Therefore, it is of great interest to achieve vitrification at a low, nontoxic cryoprotectant concentration for the cryopreservation of microencapsulated cells.

Abstract:
Green walls are becoming an interesting solution to address the potential issues due to loss of greenery in the urban built environment. Even though green walls offer numerous benefits, the application pace of this concept seems slow in many parts of the world including Sri Lanka, which could be primarily due to the perception that the construction of green walls may involve additional costs compared to conventional walls and due to lack of awareness of its performance. This has driven the recent researchers to investigate the economic performance of green walls. However, those studies are limited to given local contexts, thus, the knowledge is scattered. Therefore, this paper aims to explore the economic performance of green walls in the global context collectively using a systematic review towards understanding the differences. Filtering the search for the period of 2010 to 2022 offered 15 out of 103 research articles suitable for the analysis. The cost data extracted shows high variability related to different characteristics of green walls, building envelopes, and climatic conditions. According to the review, the maintenance stage accounts for the highest portion of the Life Cycle Cost (LCC) in any type of green wall. The direct green façade is the cheapest option with lowest LCC compared to the indirect and living wall types while the living wall is the expensive type due to presence of more components. The review further confirms that in most instances, the economic benefits of green walls; increase property value, façade longevity, tax incentives, and energy-saving tend to offset the cost of green walls. It is expected that this collective review outcome would better guide the decision-making process of green wall implementation in a given context.

Abstract:
The ability to deliver DNA sequences and molecular loads into the nucleus of a cell is a large area of interest in the medical community, and has numerous applications including gene therapy. Different methods of gene delivery each have their own advantages and disadvantages. Experimentation was performed using a new technique called nanoinjection to determine how force affects the efficiency and viability of the injection process. Nanoinjection, which utilizes an array of millions of solid microlances made on a 2 cm square silicon chip to inject cells, allows us to inject hundreds of thousands of cells at a time with high efficiencies. The solid nature of the lances allows them to be smaller, increasing cell viability. HeLa cells were used for testing in conjunction with an injection device that allowed for precise control of the injection force. Propidium iodide (PI), a dye that fluoresces when bound to DNA and doesn’t penetrate the membrane of living cells, was injected to monitor the efficiencies of transporting molecular loads across the cell membrane. The data was normalized to the controls for both efficiency (PI uptake) and viability to make it easier to see and determine trends. Results indicate a slow rise in injection efficiency from 0 to 1.8 Newtons of force where it reaches a maximum efficiency of 4.11 when normalized to the PI uptake of the positive controls. The data then levels, averaging an efficiency of approximately 3.1. The slow rise is likely due to more of the cells being punctured as the force increases until most have been punctured and the efficiency levels off. Viability had no clear trend, only varying between 0.97 and 1.04 when normalized to the viability of the negative controls.

Abstract:
A majority of stroke patients suffer from the loss of effective motor function, which compromises their ability to control grasping motion. Hand rehabilitation is therefore important to improve their motor function and quality of life in activities of daily living (ADLs). In this initial work, we present the design and development of a partial hand exoskeleton actuated by shape memory alloy (SMA) spring actuators. The SMA spring actuators are cooled by forced convection and the individual joints of the finger are actuated via tendons. In this design, pre-tension in the passive springs enables the restoration of the original configuration when the SMA springs are not actuated. To address the slow cooling rate of SMA springs that limits the control performance, we developed a cooling unit for each SMA spring actuator. We utilized computer vision to identify an object and provide 3-D coordinates of the optimal grasping points on the object. We then utilized vision-based control to move the fingertips towards the grasping points. The experimental results showed that each individual joint was able to return to its original configuration significantly faster as well as to follow a sinusoidal trajectory with the proposed cooling strategy.

Abstract:
Abstract A large number of people living with type two diabetes suffer from a slow rate of wound healing. Also, some injuries, such as burns, can cause chronic wounds. Low-intensity vibrations have been investigated to promote wound healing. In authors’ previous research, a piezoelectric disc was bonded near the wound site to deliver low intensity vibration. It has been demonstrated that low intensity vibration promotes tissue perfusion, granulation tissue formation, and wound healing in diabetic mice. In this paper, a self-sensing feedback control system is designed to ensure vibration consistency. Such consistency is critical to the proposed treatment. The piezoelectric disc acts as an actuator and a sensor synchronously, i.e., a single piezoelectric disk bonded on the skin can produce vibrations and measure strain or stress simultaneously. No separate sensors are needed to deploy in the feedback control systems. Such integrated design eliminates sensors, which saves space and reduces complexity, and it is important to wearable devices. A bridge circuit is adopted in this work to enable the collocated control. The bridge circuit, piezoelectric disk, and tissue are modeled separately. Finally, a single-input single-output system model is established for the whole system, and a corresponding controller is designed. Responses based on the SISO model are simulated and analyzed. The important system parameters are investigated and discussed.

Abstract:
A mathematical model is developed to describe the competition for space and food among blue mussels, which adhere on cylindrical substrata. In order to develop and validate the model, field investigation is carried out for mussels growing on ropes installed around the mouth of Sumida River in Tokyo Bay. In addition to monitoring of environmental factors such as water temperature, salinity, and the concentration of dissolved oxygen, the relationship between the position of each mussel and its size in the mussel bed is examined precisely. The position of each mussel in the bed is specified by how much the gape of the shells comes out from the bed. As a result, the growth of the mussels in the inner layer is obviously slow and they are considered to continue living by consuming the reserved materials accumulated in their bodies. On the contrary, mussels can grow faster if only a part of the gape of their shells comes out from the mussel bed. These observed features are taken into account in the mathematical model. The model can predict well the size structure of mussels in the bed; the faster growth of the surface mussels and the slower growth of the inner mussels, which corresponds to observations. In the future the model will be also applied to mussels on the cylindrical substrata such as cultivation ropes, piers, and piles for aquaculture management and environmental impact assessment of the coastal structures.

Abstract:
Physical interaction with tools is ubiquitous in functional activities of daily living. While tool use is considered a hallmark of human behavior, how humans control such physical interactions is still poorly understood. When humans perform a motor task, it is commonly suggested that the central nervous system coordinates the musculo-skeletal system to minimize muscle effort. In this paper, we tested if this notion holds true for motor tasks that involve physical interaction. Specifically, we investigated whether humans minimize muscle forces to control physical interaction with a circular kinematic constraint. Using a simplified arm model, we derived three predictions for how humans should behave if they were minimizing muscular effort to perform the task. First, we predicted that subjects would exert workless, radial forces on the constraint. Second, we predicted that the muscles would be deactivated when they could not contribute to work. Third, we predicted that when moving very slowly along the constraint, the pattern of muscle activity would not differ between clockwise (CW) and counterclockwise (CCW) motions. To test these predictions, we instructed human subjects to move a robot handle around a virtual, circular constraint at a constant tangential velocity. To reduce the effect of forces that might arise from incomplete compensation of neuro-musculo-skeletal dynamics, the target tangential speed was set to an extremely slow pace (∼1 revolution every 13.3 seconds). Ultimately, the results of human experiment did not support the predictions derived from our model of minimizing muscular effort. While subjects did exert workless forces, they did not deactivate muscles as predicted. Furthermore, muscle activation patterns differed between CW and CCW motions about the constraint. These findings demonstrate that minimizing muscle effort is not a significant factor in human performance of this constrained-motion task. Instead, the central nervous system likely prioritizes reducing other costs, such as computational effort, over muscle effort to control physical interactions.

Abstract:
This report describes the situation of rural Youths Neither in Employment, nor in Education or Training (NEET) aged between 15-34 years old, over the last decade (2009-2019) in Slo-vakia. To achieve this goal, the report utilised indicators of youth population, youth employ-ment and unemployment, education and NEETs distribution and amount of ESLET in Slovakia according to different level of urbanisation (cities, towns and suburbs and towns). There are more male than females living in Slovakia. However, there are more females living in rural areas. Youth unemployment has been rising every year since 2009, peaking in 2012/2013, and after this peak it has decreased gradually leading to the lowest unemployment rate in a decade for the age category 15-39 in 2018-2019. Since the year 2010 the employment rate has been gradually increasing in all degrees of urbanisation. In last decade (2009-2019), the population aged 15-24 years old in Slovakia has become more educated. The highest increa-se was in last decade at level ISCED 5-8 in rural areas. ESLET has gradually increased in Slo-vakia nationwide. Between the years 2009-2019, there were an increased number of ESLET females in rural areas. The share of NEETs has slightly decreased in last decade in Slovakia.
