AbstractThis article examines how, in the early modern towns of Stockholm and Åbo, royal interests, town planning, street building and maintenance, and street behavior related to ideas and ideals of urban order. Town laws and ordinances, royal letters and some town court records are employed to tell a story of royal interest in well-ordered, impressive, successful towns; various street plans for the capital and the smaller provincial towns; and the varying execution of renewal plans. It is evident that the capital was to reflect the royal person and the state and that streets and street behaviour were important in this regard. But in towns outside the capital, especially in concrete street maintenance, the centrality of streets does not clearly emerge. The burghers in towns operated as individuals—there was no bottom-up or top-down plan or supervision.

Full textAbstract:
While a breadth of U.S. scholarship on gangs/gang violence exists, there is currently scant research about the psychological/indoctrination processes used to transform civilians into gang members, especially from a Canadian perspective. To address this gap in the literature this article draws on the military scholarship relating to intense indoctrination to (a) inform our understanding of how youth are psychologically transformed/indoctrinated into a street/gang life, (b) the psychological/traumatic impact of such indoctrination, and (c) the role street indoctrination plays in young people’s capacity to survive a gang life. This article draws on autoethnography to enable the author, a former gang/justice-involved person, to provide an up-close, reflexive, and intimate perspective into “street indoctrination.” Such a perspective is often missing from the extant gang scholarship as few formerly gang-involved persons are able to speak about their experiences from the privileged space of academia.

Living as a street child is a miserable situation, and additionally, the Covid-19 pandemic that has affected millions of people and killed thousands of humans worldwide is very alarming. Money is desired by any person for its role in purchasing things essential for living. Street children beg for money and sometimes they resort to pickpocketing from people who could be carrying the Coronavirus. This study investigates the life of street children and money in relationship to Covid-19 in South Sudan. This argument is presented through an analysis of existing literature and documents on the matter. A sample of 197street children found in the streets of Juba and Yei, including eight children who were sex-workers, filled in a questionnaire. In the sample, 43.7% slept in the street. The study found that street children are at risk of contracting the Coronavirus, and because of underlying poor health conditions, they are at a higher risk of developing complications.

Full textAbstract:
Incentives to walking as a transport mode are an integral part of the Brazilian National Policy on Urban Mobility, Federal Law 12.587/2012. Nonetheless, design approaches to streets are currently based on motorized transportation, which does not represent the necessary support to walking or to social, cultural, and leisure activities. During their evolution, streets reflected historical, economic, political, and social contexts influencing and being influenced by urban life. However, the advent of new technologies in traffic engineering, civil construction, and communication changed this scenario, and traffic systems started to lead the street design. Research on walking as a transport mode has shown the influence of street space on people’s decisions to walk. Environment and Behavior Studies bring substantive knowledge of the human-environment interaction to the theory of Architecture and Urbanism. This knowledge is essential in the transition from designs based on normative theories to contemporary street designs. The Affordance Theory provides understanding of the transactional interaction of the person with the environment. To achieve the integral design of the street, we adapted the Affordance Based Design methodology. This procedural theory was seen as experimentally adequate both in the design process and in the evaluation for further adjustments in existing streets.

Introduction: Living on the street is a global problem evidenced in both developed and developing nations, especially in medium and large urban centers. Descriptive Review: The presence of people who make the streets of contemporary metropolises their home is an undeniable reality. In the first half of the 20th century, this phenomenon was intensified in Brazil with the rural exodus and the migratory process, driven by industrial growth. Method: Discussion: Several health problems can be precipitated or worsened by being on the streets: tuberculosis, infestations, foot problems, sexually transmitted diseases, oral health problems, high-risk pregnancy. Results: The consumption of alcohol and other psychoactive drugs and the health and social consequences for both the community and users draw the attention of different segments of society, as it is often related to dependence on these substances and social vulnerability. Final Considerations: Teenage pregnancy has been the focus of health research. Current literature reveals much about the life contexts that lead adolescents to run away from home: victimization, domestic violence, sexual abuse, substance abuse, mental health problems, poverty, restricted social relationships and residential instability are often precursors to life on the streets. among teenagers.

Full textAbstract:
Street vendors (PKL) is a form of business that has a high entrepreneurial spirit and is able to compete amid economic competition. The existence of street vendors tends to be motivated by the problem of lack of employment provided by the government, survival efforts, lack of business capital in the formal sector, complicated rules and bureaucracy, temporary work and heredity and profession, making PKL business as an alternative that can be done by the community. Street vendors or in English also called street traders are always included in the informal sector. PKL is a person who trades using a cart or holds his wares on roadside or sidewalks of city streets around shopping centers / shops, markets, recreation / entertainment centers, office centers and education centers, either permanently or half-settled, unofficial status or semi-official and carried out both morning, afternoon, evening and night in order to meet the needs of life by not involving other parties in a binding manner. The term street vendor was first known in the era of the Dutch East Indies, precisely when Governor-General Stanford Raffles came to power. The development of street vendors in the economic history of humankind experienced progress and modernity. Dissatisfaction with government policies related to the allocation of street vendors, gave birth to traders who went to the community directly, which was called the shock market.

Full textAbstract:
Children are the hope and pioneer of the life of a country in the future, so a child has the right of their growth and development to obtain education, protection from violence, discrimination, and live in security and peace from various parties, namely family, community and government. This also applies to street children who are identical as a person/group of children who spend most of their time on the streets and come from various backgrounds, thus forcing them to be on the streets. Due to the increasing number of street children, it is necessary to get strict handling by not forgetting the rights that must be obtained. Bandung, which is one of the metropolitan cities in Indonesia, is the reason the researchers chose us in studying the problems regarding street children. This problem is studied based on the Perda Kota Bandung No. 4 Tahun 2019 concerning the Implementation of Child Protection which is the basis for handling street children problems carried out by the Dinas Sosial dan Penanggulangan Kemiskinan Kota Bandung. Researchers want to know what steps have been taken, obstacles and efforts that have been made. The research we conducted used a descriptive qualitative method with interview, observation, and documentation data collection techniques. From this, it was found that the steps or actions of the Dinas Sosial dan Penanggulangan Kemiskinan Kota Bandung in dealing with the problem of street children in accordance with the Perda Kota Bandung No. 4 Tahun 2019 concerning the Implementation of Child Protection is to form a USR Team and the construction of a Shelter House specifically intended for temporary shelter for the street children.

Insatsen kontaktperson används flitigt inom socialtjänsten, trots det finns det ytterst lite forskning kring insatsen och dess effekter. Detta arbete strävar efter att få en ökad förståelse för socialsekreterares användande av insatsen kontaktperson för ungdomar samt hur socialsekreterares handlingsutrymme har påverkat det användandet. För att nå en ökad förståelse kring detta har en kvalitativ intervjustudie genomförts där socialsekreterare från olika socialkontor fått berätta om sina erfarenheter och upplevelser kring insatsen. Utifrån de uppgifter som framkommit under intervjuerna har olika teman skapats som beskriver skäl att använda insatsen, vilka effekter som ses av insatsen samt skillnader och likheter mellan olika handläggares agerande. Resultatet visar att kontaktperson kan beviljas av många olika anledningar och att de upplevda effekterna varierar. Det blir också tydligt hur fritt det är för varje socialsekreterare att själv utforma insatsen, vilket gör att det går ifrågasätta klienters rättssäkerhet då detta skiljer sig mellan olika kommuner.In Swedish social services work with youths one of the most common ways to help is to grant the youth a sort of grownup mentor, a contact person. Despite of this, there is very little research about this kind of mentoring and its effects. In this study, we wanted to increase our understanding of the use of contact person for youths and also how the social workers discretion affects the use of contact person. To be able to do that a qualitative interview study was made where social workers from different social service offices shared their knowledge and experiences about contact person. Based on the information that was given during the interviews we were able to identify different themes that describe reasons to use contact person, which effects the social workers can see and also the differences and similarities between the different social workers way to use it. The result shows that social workers can provide youths with a contact person for a variety of reasons, and that the experienced effects differ between the social service offices. The result also makes it clear how the social workers in a free way are allowed to form the setup and implement of the contact person, which makes it possible to question the client’s rights to receive the same help no matter where you live or who you meet with.

This dissertation presents an essay about the life story of a person in street situation in Francisco Beltrão, PR, as well as of the relations that are established between the speeches and the building of processes of subjectivation this person. We use as analytical referential the essays of Michel Foucault, embracing as method the discourse analysis. The discourses are analyzed by means of concepts as Biopolitics and population developed by Foucault, since the same involve in process of formation of the subject and their ways of existence. For this purpose, used it the field research with data collection through technique of interview with a person in street situation called "Zé Correto. These data allowed to discuss the following questions: job, insecurity, religion, social and family relationships and actions of public policies intended the person in street situation. It is emphasized here that these questions contributed to understand the ways of existence of "Zé Correto". In this regard, we check that the constitution of subject in the process of building of themselves and this implies both in the relation with itself and with the relations of power which have the objective of conducting the behaviors that can happen through biopolítical actions that lead the subjects to live within what is considered normal. Get on that the transformations for which "Zé Correto" passed interfere in polítical relations, since, "Zé" will act in building of his interaction with the State and with the services of public policies, causing tensions between institutions/State and the reality of people living on the streets. These tensions result in new ways of subjectivation as well as of control of bodies, building new ways of existence.
Esta dissertação apresenta um estudo a respeito da trajetória de vida de uma pessoa em situação de rua do município de Francisco Beltrão, PR, bem como das relações que se estabelecem entre os discursos e a construção dos processos de subjetivação da pessoa em situação de rua. Utilizamos como referencial analítico os estudos de Michel Foucault, adotando como método a análise dos discursos. Os discursos serão analisados por meio dos conceitos como biopolítica e população desenvolvidos por Foucault, pois os mesmos implicam nos processos de constituição do sujeito e de seus modos de existência. Para tanto, utilizou-se a pesquisa de campo com coleta de dados através da técnica de entrevista com uma pessoa em situação de rua denominada Zé Correto. Esses dados permitiram discutir as seguintes questões: trabalho, insegurança, religião, relacionamentos sociais e familiares e ações de políticas públicas destinadas a pessoa em situação de rua. Ressalta-se aqui que estas questões contribuíram para compreender os modos de existência de Zé Correto. Nesse sentido, verificamos que a constituição do sujeito acontece no processo de construção de si e esta implica tanto na relação consigo e com as relações de poder as quais tem como objetivo conduzir as condutas que podem acontecer por meio de ações biopolíticas que conduzem os sujeitos a viver dentro do que é considerado normal. Entende-se que as transformações pelas quais Zé Correto passou interferem nas relações políticas, visto que, Zé vai atuar na construção de sua interação com o Estado e com os serviços de políticas públicas, ocasionando tensões entre instituições/Estado e a realidade de pessoas vivendo nas ruas. Estas tensões resultam em novas formas de subjetivação bem como de controle dos corpos, construindo novos modos de existência.

Cette recherche exploratoire et qualitative porte un regard sur la réalité des personnes qui vivent dans la rue avec un chien comme animal de compagnie. Sachant que le milieu de la rue est un environnement stressant et rempli d’épreuves à surmonter, il est possible de croire que d’y vivre avec un animal de compagnie peut influencer le quotidien d’une personne.
Bien que seulement 10 % des personnes en situation d’itinérance vivent avec un animal de compagnie (Irvine & al. 2012 ; Irvine.2013), il est important de cerner le sens qu’elles attribuent à leur relation et comprendre leur contexte situationnel afin de saisir leur réalité. Pour ce faire, cette recherche met en lumière les bénéfices et les contraintes qu’engendrent cette présence et l’influence de ces aspects relationnels sur le processus de désaffiliation sociale dans lequel la personne se situe lorsqu’elle vit dans la rue.Abstract : This qualitative research explores the reality of street people who share their lives with a dog as a companion. Knowing that the street is a stressful environment filled with hardships, it is possible it is contemplated that living on the street with a pet can considerably influence someone’s life. Considering that it is about 10% of people that live on the street who are having a pet (Irvine 2013), it is important to identify the meaning they attribute to their relationship. To understand their situational context, this research highlights the benefits and constraints of this presence and the influence of these relational aspects on the social disaffiliation process of a person who live on the street with animal.

As extreme poverty and homelessness continue to increase and become more visible in urban centres throughout Canada, it is increasingly more important to develop and critique interventions within the field. This grounded theory study provides and overview of one type of intervention---street outreach programs. It is informed by interviews with front line street outreach workers in Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal. It includes an outline of the academic literature on homelessness and street outreach programs and stresses the importance of viewing this social phenomenon through a structural lens. It describes in detail the main aspects of street outreach work, as well as evaluates the greater the political significance of this type of work. Conclusions demonstrate the importance of establishing trusting relationships with clients and working from a structural approach that satisfy peoples immediate needs while addressing the root causes of extreme poverty and oppression.

The tuberculosis is characterized as a serious decease and affect the poorest regions of the world. Brazil occupies the 16th place in absolute numbers of cases. According to the Ministry of Health people on the streets are 67 times more likely to get sick from tuberculosis compared to the general population. This population is characterized by extreme poverty, interrupted or weak family bond and lack of residence, using the public places and degraded areas as their housing and sustenance. In 2011, the Ministry of Health implemented Street Clinic Teams as a care mode linked to primary health care, to address the different demands and health needs of the population in the streets.

Full textAbstract:
Homeless individuals in Berlin can be included into the group of people who do something more interesting than architects would ever dream of. With their knowledge of the city and the ability to claim spaces, they create their home within the city context. They use the city and what the city offers, to their advantage and create their homes with what is available in the city. They are not homeless. For the "city users" the city becomes home- the city home.To tell the stories of individuals who make the city their home, this thesis describes the daily routine of several individuals (with insights gained from a two-month internship) and appreciates these people for how they manage to survive somewhat independently on the streets of Berlin.It is argued that these individuals are not future clients for architects. Instead, it is suggested that we --architects, designers, planners, policy-makers, and others – have much to learn from those we consider to be homeless.Department of Architecture

La ricerca propone un’analisi della discrezionalità professionale esercitata dagli operatori sociali che lavorano maggiormente a contatto con l’utenza e intesi come street-level bureaucrats (Lipsky, 1980/2010). Secondo l’argomentazione sostenuta, l’analisi approfondita delle interazioni tra i diversi attori che avvengono sul piano dell’attuazione di interventi e politiche stabiliti a monte risulta estremamente significativa. Tali interazioni, infatti, consentono di riflettere sulle trasformazioni del welfare, sulle rappresentazioni dei poveri e delle povertà, sui meccanismi di governance, sui ruoli all’interno delle istituzioni e sulle asimmetrie di potere.
Le domande generali che hanno mosso lo studio sono:
- Cosa produce discrezionalità?
- Come viene esercitata tale discrezionalità?
- Quali conseguenze produce la discrezionalità sulle vite dei potenziali beneficiari?
La ricerca è partita dal presupposto che le istituzioni siano contesto e prodotto degli attori sociali che ne riproducono le strutture introducendovi elementi di mutamento (Giddens, 1984; Crozier, 1963). Inoltre, come osserva Jacques Lagroye (1997, p. 8), ‹‹il rapporto con l’istituzione è prima di tutto il rapporto con colui che impersona un ruolo in un’istituzione››.
Il problema più generale entro cui si inserisce l’interesse scientifico del presente lavoro è la condizione di non uniformità e disuguaglianza nell’accesso ai diritti. Ci si propone, dunque, di indagare a quali livelli si giochi tale accesso e quali fattori concorrano a favorirlo oppure ostacolarlo.
L’indagine si è focalizzata sui modelli di accoglienza rivolti alle persone senza dimora nella città di Torino.
Dal punto di vista metodologico la ricerca combina tecniche tipiche dell’etnografia e dell’analisi organizzativa, in accordo con le indicazioni di Brodkin (2008). In un anno di ricerca sul campo chi scrive si è avvalsa di tecniche di indagine di tipo qualitativo: analisi documentale, osservazione partecipante, interviste semi-strutturate, vignette.
Il presente lavoro è strutturato in tre parti di cui quella iniziale è composta da quattro capitoli di taglio teorico in cui sono ricostruite le coordinate utili a orientarsi nella ricerca e a collocarla rispetto allo stato dell’arte delle letterature di riferimento. La seconda parte della tesi è dedicata alla presentazione del caso studio in base agli interrogativi della ricerca, alla ricostruzione della metodologia utilizzata. Nella terza e ultima parte sono discussi gli esiti della ricerca riprendendo gli interrogativi iniziali, nel contesto di un quadro analitico attento a leggere congiuntamente le caratteristiche personali, le traiettorie di vita e professionali dei frontline workers e le interazioni stabilite con i beneficiari. Viene inoltre analizzata la connessione e l’articolazione tra i differenti profili degli operatori e le diverse visioni rispetto alla discrezionalità agita.The research proposes an analysis of the professional discretion exercised by social workers who work most in contact with clients and understood as street-level bureaucrats (Lipsky, 1980/2010). The in-depth analysis of the interactions between the various actors that take place in terms of the implementation of interventions and policies established upstream is extremely significant. Such interactions allow us to reflect on the transformations of welfare, on the representations of the poor and of poverty, on the mechanisms of governance, on the roles within the institutions and on the asymmetries of power. The general questions that motivated the study are: - What produces discretion? - How is this discretion exercised? - What consequences does discretion have on the lives of potential beneficiaries? The research started from the assumption that institutions are the context and product of social actors who reproduce their structures by introducing elements of change (Giddens, 1984; Crozier, 1963). Moreover, as Jacques Lagroye (1997, p. 8) observes, "the relationship with the institution is first and foremost the relationship with the one who plays a role in an institution". The most general problem into which the scientific interest of the present work fits is the condition of non-uniformity and inequality in access to rights. It is proposed, therefore, to investigate at what levels this access is played out and what factors contribute to favouring or hindering it. The survey focused on the models of reception aimed at homeless people in the city of Turin. From a methodological point of view, the research combines techniques typical of ethnography and organizational analysis, in accordance with the indications of Brodkin (2008). In a year of field research, the writer has used qualitative investigation techniques: documentary analysis, participant observation, semi-structured interviews, vignette. The present work is structured in three parts, the initial part of which is composed of four theoretical chapters. The second part of the thesis is dedicated to the presentation of the case study based on the questions of the research, the reconstruction of the methodology used. In the last part, the results of the research are discussed.

Full textAbstract:
CoordenaÃÃo de AperfeiÃoamento de NÃvel SuperiorEntre as tecnologias utilizadas em enfermagem tem-se, na assistÃncia à pessoa cega, a tecnologia assistiva (TA). O desenvolvimento e uso deste tipo de tecnologia pode ser uma ferramenta na promoÃÃo da saÃde e no fornecimento de informaÃÃes que visem uma melhoria no processo de comunicaÃÃo em saÃde. Estudo anterior desenvolveu uma TA em saÃde sobre a prevenÃÃo ao uso de drogas psicoativas entre cegos, mediada pelo acesso a distÃncia. Ante a aceitaÃÃo da TA, decidiu-se por um estudo de aprofundamento e avaliaÃÃo desta TA por parte de especialistas. Dos diversos modelos, o de Pasquali (1999) apresenta-se como um referencial teÃrico-metodolÃgico possÃvel para a avaliaÃÃo de tecnologias, optando-se, neste estudo, por seguir as fases do pÃlo teÃrico elaborado por este autor. Desta forma, objetivou-se avaliar a referida TA em alguns pontos, como: aspectos de conteÃdo sobre drogas psicoativas; aspectos pedagÃgicos, relativos à acessibilidade Ãs pessoas cegas; e aspectos tÃcnicos, concernentes Ãs questÃes do acesso a distÃncia. Trata-se de um estudo de avaliaÃÃo de tecnologia, descritivo, realizado entre marÃo e setembro de 2009, contando com a infra-estrutura do LaboratÃrio de ComunicaÃÃo em SaÃde da Universidade Federal do Cearà (LabCom_SaÃde-UFC). Participaram nove juÃzes especialistas, no total de trÃs para cada respectiva Ãrea de conteÃdo sobre drogas, educaÃÃo especial com Ãnfase em educaÃÃo de cegos e acesso a distÃncia. Cada grupo de juÃzes trabalhou uma etapa e estas foram sucessivas, pois estes profissionais faziam suas avaliaÃÃes, a pesquisadora promovia os ajustes, os quais, em seguida, eram submetidos novamente à avaliaÃÃo dos profissionais. ConstruÃram-se trÃs instrumentos de avaliaÃÃo cujos itens versavam sobre especificidades de cada uma das referidas Ãreas e seus itens, valorados de um a quatro, assim definidos: adequado, parcialmente adequado, inadequado e nÃo se aplica. Todos os juÃzes assinaram o Termo de Consentimento Livre e Esclarecido. Sobre as avaliaÃÃes, as dos especialistas em conteÃdo apontaram para a qualidade do conteÃdo da TA e eles solicitaram ajustes de correÃÃo ortogrÃfica, aprimoramento de alguns conceitos e clarificaÃÃo de termos tÃcnicos. Quanto aos juÃzes de aspectos pedagÃgicos, avaliaram todos os itens como adequados. Apesar disso, sugeriram melhoria nos sintetizadores de voz, ferramentas necessÃrias à acessibilidade do cego ao computador, e tambÃm a inclusÃo de um Ãudio convidando os internautas a acessarem a tecnologia. Finalmente, os juÃzes de aspectos tÃcnicos apontaram a necessidade de inclusÃo de ferramentas grÃficas e de multimÃdia. Tais sugestÃes nÃo foram prontamente acatadas por contradizerem de certa forma a literatura referente a aspectos de acesso a distÃncia por pessoas cegas. Diante de todas estas consideraÃÃes, acredita-se que a TA foi devidamente avaliada como um meio viÃvel e seguro de fornecimento de informaÃÃes em saÃde sobre drogas psicoativas para pessoas cegas. Deste modo, como detalhado, a pessoa cega pode acessÃ-la individualmente, apreciÃ-la quando desejar e quantas vezes se fizer necessÃrio. Julgou-se a TA interessante, colaborativa no processo de aprendizagem e ferramenta Ãtil na promoÃÃo e comunicaÃÃo em saÃde mediada pelo acesso a distÃncia. As sugestÃes colaboraram para fortalecer a acessibilidade da referida tecnologia.
Technologies for nursing care delivery to blind people include assistive technology (AT). The development and use of this type of technology can be a tool for health promotion and information provision with a view to improving the health communication process. An earlier study developed a health AT on the prevention of psychoactive drugs consumption among blind people, mediated by distance access. As the AT was accepted, the researchers decided to subject it to a deeper expert assessment study. Among different options, Pasqualiâs (1999) model is a possible theoretical-methodological reference framework for technology assessment. In this study, the phases of the theoretical pole elaborated by this author will be followed. Thus, the goal was to assess some points of the AT, such as: aspects of content on psychoactive drugs; pedagogical aspects related to accessibility for blind people; and technical aspects related to distance access issues. A descriptive technology assessment research was carried out between March and September 2009, using the infrastructure of the Health Communication Laboratory at Cearà Federal University (LabcomSaÃde-UFC). Nine expert judges participated, totalling three for each respective area of content about drugs, special education with emphasis on education for the blind and distance access. Each group of judges worked on one phase, with one phase following the other, as these professionals elaborated their assessments, the researcher made adjustments, which were then resubmitted to the professionalsâ assessment. Three assessment instruments were constructed, whose items addressed specificities of each area and its items, with scores ranging from one to four, defined as follows: adequate, partially adequate, inadequate and does not apply. All judges signed the Free and Informed Consent Term. The content expertsâ assessments pointed towards the quality of the ATâs content and requested orthographic corrections, improvements in some concepts and clarifications of technical terms. The pedagogical aspect judges considered all aspects as adequate. Nevertheless, they suggested improvements in voice synthesizers, tools needed for the blind to have computer access, as well as the inclusion of audio material, inviting participants to access the technology. Finally, the technical aspect judges indicated the need to include graphic and multimedia tools. These suggestions were not readily accepted because, in a sense, they go against literature on aspects of distance access by blind people. In view of all of these considerations, the AT was properly assessed as a viable and afe means for health information provision about psychoactive drugs to blind people. Thus, as detailed, blind people can access the AT individually, whenever and as many times as they want. The technology was considered interesting, collaborating in the learning process and a useful tool for health promotion and communication mediated by distance access. The suggestions collaborated to strengthen access to this technology

Full textAbstract:
This cross-sectional study looks at the health profiles of street children both in institutions and on the street between May and November 1989. The former group had a clinical examination, with blood and urine investigations done where possible; the latter group were only interviewed. 159 street children were interviewed of whom 47 were interviewed on the street. 73 children had clinical examinations; 64 of these had blood and urine investigations. The age range was 8 years to 19.8 years. 18.2% were females and 28.3% were black. 59,6% of those interviewed on the street had not been in an institution or shelter for street children. 27, 2% of the total group had been on the street for more 3 years. 3 7, 1 % perceived colds and chest complaints as their main physical health problem. This was confirmed by the fact that 69,2% had a history of respiratory problems. 44,7% said that they would go to a hospital if they injured themselves or were ill; however, 36,5% said they would not use or get any medication for problems such as a headache or a bad cold. 37·, 7% of children used a hospital while they were on street but 59, 7% had not used any facility while on the street. Most street children (72,8%) washed themselves at least occasionally and 61% washed their clothes. 47,2% had suffered trauma significant enough to seek hospital attention. 56% had skin problems (including lice and scabies) while on the street. 15,7% complained of visual problems and 10,7% complained of reduced hearing. Dental problems appeared to be of major concern with 37,7% complaining of either toothache or dental caries (23,3% had obvious caries on examination). 73,4% admitted to solvent abuse, 49,9% had never taken alcohol and 12,7% had never smoked. 43% had tried dagga, 10,8% white pipe (mixture of dagga and "Mandrax" which is smoked) and only 7,6% "Mandrax" alone. 10, 9% of boys and 10, 0% of girls indicated that they had been sexually exploited. Of the 67 examined 32,8% were below 90% of expected height for age, 44,8% were below 80% of expected weight for age and 8,6% had a circumference of head below 95% of standard. There is a 9,4% Hepatitis Bs ag carrier rate. No HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) antibodies were detected in 64 sera tested. On the basis of these results, the following are recommended: 1) Improving accessibility of health care resources. 2) Improving the availability of health care resources. 3)· Initiating contacts with street children by employing field health workers. 4) Drawing up a health care policy for street children institutions and field care workers. 5) Limit venereal disease management to single dose treatment where possible. 6) Further studies need to be undertaken in the following areas: - solvent abuse - utilisation of health care resources utilisation institutions of street children shelters and Further breakdown of habits, physical problems and results of examinations are presented.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter examines the protection afforded by tort law against trespass to the person and infringements of personal interests. It discusses the elements of the torts of battery, assault, and false imprisonment, which all derive from medieval tort law and are characterised by the need for direct interference (but there is no need to prove damage because the torts are actionable per se). Compensation in these cases is for damage suffered and/or the interference with what are considered to be important dignitary interests. The chapter considers also the newer tort of intentional infliction of physical harm and the provisions of the Protection from Harassment Act of 1997.

It explains that defences to these torts can be placed within a threefold system. The first category consists of absent element defences (a successful plea means that the tort has not been committed), the second comprises justification defences (meaning that there was reason to commit the tort), and the third contains public policy defences (which means that the interests of the state intrude so as to deprive the claimant of an action).

Full textAbstract:
Pedestrian safety inventories for auditing roadway features and infrastructure are a promising way to rapidly assess pedestrian injury likelihood in a city location, particularly when the auditor can score the location remotely via tools such as Google Street View (GSV). This study provided a preliminary assessment of whether two remote assessment inventories were as reliable as in-person auditing, and whether the two tools were associated with pedestrian safety measures. The researchers repeatedly performed crossings at six locations to collect safety outcome data. For the safety inventories, one team of coders scored the locations in-person, and a separate team of coders scored the locations in GSV. Analyses indicated generally good agreement between the in-person and GSV scores, and a significant relationship between the inventory scores and driver yielding/stopping rate to the crossing pedestrians. The two inventories were predictive for different reasons, and future research will further assess and refine them.

Full textAbstract:
The street advertising has undergone some significant changes last years: the traditional advertising billboards are progressively replaced by electronic display devices (LED screens) that are able to change the content in real-time and enable the dynamic content management. This paper aims to develop an adaptive advertising strategy based on the preference of the audience in front of the screen. Each person own on his smartphone special software in order to set up his interests in advertising broadcast. In this way the people define their profiles hat are collected by the billboard which selects the most appropriate type of advertising to be broadcasted at that time. The proposed method aims to transform a simple display equipment into intelligent one able to adapt the broadcasted content to the requirements of the nearness people. It aims to maximize the efficiency of billboard operation and, at the same time, to bring satisfaction to the audience.

Full textAbstract:
Nowadays the possibility of being ubiquitous connected generates new patterns in the relation between people and the built environment. In a time when cities around the globe claim to be smart, it is crucial to be conscious and highlight the value of its inhabitant’s collective wisdom. Technology can improve efficiency in many aspects but cities cannot be understood without its people. We are reorganizing our lives around mass mobile communications. Given that the research scope needs to be updated. Some studies on the use of mobiles in urban spaces have been done, however they have rarely been used to describe this phenomena at a street level, understanding how users interact with public spaces (or not), while online. The research sought to investigate how the widespread use of smartphones frames people’s behavior and interaction with public spaces and create new forms of urban dynamics in the Smart Cities era. In this context, we compared the different social groups (tourists, temporary and permanent residents) that inhabit the city. Taking El Born area in the city of Barcelona as case study we have analyzed the use of public spaces and how mobile technology affects the way people relate to the city while online.
Adopting traditional methods of field observation and combining them with surveys we have extended and improved existing methodologies, generating a singular comprehensive dataset, consisting of more than 5000 observations. The analysis of all collected data provided insightful outcomes both at street level and from the users’ point of view. The results evince that behavioral patterns on the use of technology in public spaces are tightly linked to the social group each person belongs to and to the relation each one has to a place.
Although online information about places is getting progressively more accurate, there is still a valuable intangible layer of knowledge held by locals that can not be replaced by any map, recommendation system or app. Despite the infinite possibilities of being online, mediated perception do not replace the intangible value of face-to-face relations.

The service-learning methodology combines active learning processes and community service. This service-learning experience was performed using an interdisciplinary and cross plan. The teachers made a horizontal coordination in the courses, and a vertical coordination in subjects of the Degrees involved. This allowed working together in the students’ curricular training process. It also permitted covering various specific skills, as corresponds to the different subjects, whilst optimizing the students’ workload. The service addressed the problem of drug-facilitated sexual assaults (DFSA) in the youth leisure nightlife. DFSA is the temporary disability of a person caused by a decrease in her/his volitional and cognitive abilities due to the voluntary or involuntary consumption of a psychoactive substance. An active learning about the problem was encouraged in the classroom, focused on recognizing myths, attitudes, and risk situations. The service-learning actions to the community was based on an anonymous survey conducted among the students, which dealt with the problem. The Service Learning was stimulated through the design, planning and development of activities aimed at gaining social awareness of the existing problem while favouring peer learning processes. The students undertook awareness actions at different levels, spreading their message by means of social networks, high school workshops, and information stands on the street.

The original use of the vehicle dashboard was to provide enough sensory information to inform the driver of the current engine and vehicle status and performance. Over time, it has evolved into an entertainment system that includes person-to-person communication, global positioning information, and the Internet, just to name a few. Each of these new features adds to the amount of information that drivers must absorb, leading to potential distraction and possible increases in the number and types of accidents. In order to provide an overview of these issues, this paper summarizes previous work on driver distraction and workload, demonstrating the importance of addressing those issues that compete for driver attention and action. In addition, a test platform vehicle is introduced which has the capability of assessing modified dashboards and consoles, as well as the ability to acquire relevant driving performance data. Future efforts with this test platform will be directed toward helping to resolve the critical tug-of-war between providing more information and entertainment while keeping drivers and their passengers safe. The long-term goal of this research is to evaluate the various technological innovations available for inclusion in the driving environment and determining how to optimize driver information delivery without excessive distraction and workload. The information presented herein is the first step in that effort of developing an adaptive distraction/workload management system that monitors performance metrics and provides selected feedback to drivers. The test platform (1973 VW Beetle converted to a plug-in series hybrid) can provide speed, location (GPS), 3-D acceleration, and rear proximity detection. The test drive route was a 2 km × 3 km city street circuit which took approximately 25 minutes to complete. Data is provided herein to demonstrate these capabilities. In addition, the platform has driver selectable layouts for the instrument cluster and console (LCD screens). The test platform is planned for use to determine driver preferences (e.g., dashboard/console configurations) and attention performance in addition to identifying optimal real-time feedback for drivers with different demographics.

An official response to the Covid-19 pandemic, the program used signs and temporary barricades to limit thru-traffic on 21 miles of city streets to create more and safer space for walking, cycling, and outdoor recreation. Researchers collected data throughout the summer of 2021 on seven designated slow streets plus one cross street and one control street for each – a total of 21 street segments representing conditions in seven different neighborhoods across Oakland. Data collection comprised in-person passerby counts, observations and photographs of local conditions, and logged traffic speed data. Findings vary widely across study sites. In certain cases, observed slow streets saw less car traffic or more bicycle/pedestrian use than one or both of their comparison streets, and in at least one case the slow street was clearly embraced by the local community and used as planners intended; in others the slow street was no different than neighboring streets. The study draws on these findings to identify local conditions that seem likely to make slow treet treatments more or less successful. However, acknowledging that all neighborhoods deserve safer streets and greater outdoor recreational opportunities, the authors argue that better community outreach must be implemented to ensure areas not predisposed to make full use of slow streets can have the opportunity to do so. The study also makes suggestions regarding the potential for rapid, low-cost bike and pedestrian street safety improvements going forward.

Basic figures: – A large majority of respondents agreed or strongly agreed that gay men and lesbians (88%), bisexual people (87%) and transgender people (85%) “should be free to live their own life as they wish”. – Women were significantly more likely than men to agree with the above statement in respect to every identity group. People aged 25-34 years were significantly more likely than the general population to disagree with the statement. – On average, respondents were comfortable having people with a minority sexual orientation or gender identity as neighbours. Responses were significantly more positive towards having lesbians (M=8.51), bisexual people (M=8.40) and gay men (M=8.38) as neighbours compared to transgender people (M=7.98). – High levels of empathy were expressed with crime victims across all identity categories. Respondents were similarly empathetic towards heterosexual couples (M= 9.01), lesbian couples (M=9.05) and transgender persons (M=8.86) who are physically assaulted on the street. However, gay couples (M= 8.55) attracted significantly less empathy than a lesbian couple in similar circumstances. – Respondents were significantly more likely to intervene on behalf of a victim with a disability (M=7.86), than on behalf of an LGBT victim (M=6.96), but significantly more likely to intervene on behalf of an LGBT victim than an Irish Traveller (M= 5.82). – Respondents reported similar willingness to intervene on behalf of a lesbian pushed and slapped on the street by a stranger (M=7.38) and a transgender person (M= 7.03) in the same situation. Respondents were significantly more unlikely to intervene on behalf of a gay man (M=6.63) or bisexual person (M= 6.89) compared to a lesbian. – A third of respondents (33%) disagreed that violence against lesbians, gay men, bisexual and transgender people is a “serious problem in my country”, but more than half (58%) agreed that hate crimes hurt more than equivalent, non-bias, crimes.

Full textAbstract:
The scientific article deals with the analysis of peculiarities of the use of innovative AR/VR technologies in the process of developing future special- ists’ stress resistance. Based on the analysis of the introduction of AR/VR tech- nologies in the context of the implementation of a competency-based approach to higher education; modern studies on the impact of augmented reality on the emotional states and physiological features of a person in a stressful situation, the experience of cooperation of students and teachers at the Laboratory of Psy- chophysiological Research and STEAM-Laboratory has been described. Within the framework of the corresponding concept of cooperation, an integrative ap- proach to the process of personality’s stress resistance development has been designed and implemented. It is based on the complex combination of tradition- al psycho-diagnostic and training technologies with innovative AR/VR technol- ogies. According to the results it has been revealed that the implementation of a psycho-correction program with elements of AR technologies has promoted an increase of the level of personality’s emotional stability and stress resistance. The level of future specialists’ situational and personal anxiety has decreased; the level of insecurity, inferiority, anxiety about work, sensitivity to failures has also decreased; the level of flexibility of thinking and behavior, ability to switch from one type of activity to another one has increased; general level of person- ality’s adaptive abilities has also increased. The perspectives of further research include the analysis of the impact of AR/VR technologies on the future profes- sionals’ psychological characteristics in order to optimize the process of im- plementing a learner-centered approach into the system of higher education.

Full textAbstract:
This paper sheds light on the personal security dimension of ride-hailing from a gender perspective. We explore how features of Transportation Network Companies (TNCs) services affect riders perceptions of security when commuting in ride-hailing services, and how general perceptions of fear of crime shape the way people value such features. Moreover, we analyze the strategies women and men are using to enhance their own security in ride-hailing and factors influencing these strategies. We conducted a survey of users of the TNC DiDi in Mexico City. The statistical methods used are structural equation models SEM and ordered logit models OLOGIT. Results show that women are more likely to value the information made available by ride-hailing applications (e.g., knowing your location or knowing driver information) and the presence of a panic button. The value given to information also increases if a person feels insecure in the streets, in a public transit station or in public transit. People who perceive higher insecurity in the streets have increased positive perceptions of the possibility of travelling without transfers. We also find that women are 64.4% less likely to share ride-hailing trips (pooling) and 2.14 times more likely to share details of their trips through their cellphones.

Full textAbstract:
This study explores the psychosocial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the population in Greece during the general lockdown period. Specifically, depression, anxiety and stress scores, as well as the factors associated with vulnerability to developing mental health conditions during this period, were investigated. A total of 911 adults participated in an online survey by completing a self-reporting questionnaire that included demographic questions, DASS-42 items (anxiety, stress and depression scales) and other questions related to personal experience. Regression modelling uncovered a significant relationship between gender and DASS scores, with women having significantly higher scores than men for all mental health problems. Participants aged 20–39 years were especially vulnerable to experiencing poor mental health. Unemployed participants reported having worse mental health than others. Having more perceived psychosocial support during the pandemic was associated with lower overall scores. Thus, women, young adults and the unemployed exhibited particularly high levels of vulnerability, while individuals who received social support from relatives and friends during the lockdown were more resilient to the effects of social isolation.

Full textAbstract:
This report describes the results of technical analysis, field tests, and laboratory tests that were performed for LED highway lighting options by the Energy Efficiency and Reliability Center (EERC) at Purdue University Northwest for the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT). This effort was conducted over the past 3 years to evaluate and test the technology and viability of using modern highway lighting technology to enhance energy efficiency, safety, security, and economic development of communities and roadways. During the testing period there was a continuous discussion between INDOT and EERC regarding the laboratory and field testing of INDOT approved luminaires submitted by vendors. There were multiple discussions with INDOT and vendors regarding the individual details and issues for the 29 luminaires that were tested. A comparison study was conducted by EERC of the various alternatives and comparison to currently installed luminaires. Data was collected for field tests of the luminaires by EERC and INDOT personnel for the luminaires. Field data was evaluated and compared to lighting models using vendor supplied ies data files. Multiple presentations were made at 3 separate Purdue Road Schools regarding the results and procedures of the testing program by EERC in conjunction with INDOT. A total of 22 final reports, considered confidential by INDOT, for individual vendor luminaires have been prepared as part of this effort. These reports were submitted sequentially to INDOT as testing was completed during the course of this effort. A total of 29 luminaires were tested. Some luminaire testing was terminated during testing due to design issues or vendor requests. All testing was summarized in the INDOT specification sheet attached to each report. Observations regarding the consistency of the supplied test luminaire with the requirements of Section 7.2 of the INDOT test procedure “Procedure for evaluation and approval list requirements for solid state ballasted luminaires ITM 957-17P” is provided in the Appendix to the report for each luminaire. Details regarding how these tests were performed and the respective associated evaluation of performance and reliability are provided in the report. This effort included: consideration of published and vendor information; appraisal of products consistent with national industry standards; review of physical design, thermal performance; laboratory testing of photopic performance, reliability, life cycle data and characteristics, and power characteristics; technical and probabilistic risk studies; and field testing and analysis of LED light sources including comparison to currently installed conventional light sources. Assistance in preparing INDOT standards for highway lighting was provided on multiple occasions.
