Abstract:
NikeGO was initiated in 2002 by the Nike US Community Affairs Division to address a growing need: to provide youth a safe environment in which to be physically active. Nike collaborated with several organizations across the country and offered an array of programs to foster developmentally appropriate physical activity among youth through their influencers (e.g., teachers, coaches). These programs reached youth in underserved areas ranging from urban inner cities to rural Native lands through various channels and settings including schools, Boys and Girls Clubs, YMCA’s, youth sports organizations, and others. Objective and subjective measures were used to determine the reach of the program, the dose of physical activity, the “fun” level of the activities, changes in youths’ self-esteem and self-concept, and the likelihood of continued participation. Many older youth gained leadership skills in the process. Overall, the programs have been successful in reaching “hard to reach” youth and engaging them in the positive, developmentally sensitive, health behaviors.

Abstract:
Purpose – MBIT is a manualised mentalization-based approach to working with hard to reach young people at risk of a wide range of life adversities including severe mental illness, substance misuse, family breakdown, school exclusion, offending and homelessness. The on-line manual (www.tiddlymanuals.com) describes how Adolescent Mentalization-Based Integrative Therapy (AMBIT) is a systemic intervention requiring attention to four different domains of intervention simultaneously; much emphasis is placed on the support systems for workers to maintain this balance in what are often chaotic working conditions. The purpose of this paper is to illustrate how these four main components of the AMBIT approach link together in actual clinical practice. Design/methodology/approach – The authors illustrate the core techniques of the AMBIT approach, namely, “working with your client”, “working with your team”, “ working with your network” and “learning as a team” with a series of case vignettes, demonstrating the inter-relationship of these components rather than seeing them as separate strands. Findings – A range of mentalization-based techniques such as “thinking together”, mentalized formulation, “disintegration grids” and web-based manualising are described and illustrated in relation to a series of case vignettes in order to address barriers to effective practice. The vignettes emphasise how these components must be linked together and held in balance, and how easily they become disconnected in working with young people’s ambivalent or even hostile relationships to help. Practical implications – First, developing a shared, mentalized formulation of a young person’s difficulties is an important aspect of working with highly troubled young people. Second, mentalizing is a relational process and is easily disrupted, for both workers and young people, by raised anxiety and affect, a common feature of working with this client group. AMBIT provides specific methods, for example, “thinking together” for supporting the mentalizing of individual workers in their team in an explicit way. Third, workers from different agencies may often find it difficult to make sense of each other’s behaviour and decision making. AMBIT proposes the use of a mentalizing approach to this difficulty using a technique called a disintegration grid. Finally, AMBIT proposes a new practitioner focused approach to manualising as a method by which a team can become more explicit about its methods of working in order to support systematic practice and evaluate outcomes. Originality/value – The innovative AMBIT approach proposes that clinicians need to attend to team and network relationships at least as much as their relationship with the client, in addition to adopting a stance of learning as a team from their casework. A high level of clinical skill is needed to support a team to achieve this balanced approach to casework. This work is of interest to all multi-disciplinary teams working with hard to reach young people.

Abstract:
Across the world, youth workers have been active in helping vulnerable youth groups. In Hong Kong, government-funded youth services are conducted by professional social workers to help vulnerable youths. This article adopted a case study approach to investigate a youth group who committed a murder. Nine murderers and two social workers were interviewed. It aims to uncover the structure and activities of the group and analyse the gang intervention prior to the murder to find out what had gone wrong and identify the lessons that social workers can learn from the murder. Four misconceptions in gang intervention have been identified. First, because of the Triad (Chinese-organised crime) affiliation, this is not just a group of deviant youths but a youth gang. Second, because it is a gang, the social workers should not group them but should instead degroup them to avoid contamination. Third, diagnosis is different from labelling. With the right diagnosis, services can be tailor-made to delabel them. Fourth, when the youths are diagnosed as a gang, outreach work instead of centre work should be provided—social workers should reach out to the gangland to uncover the youths’ gang participation and crime involvement.

Abstract:
Abstract Introduction Approximately 25% of youth in the United States speak a language other than English at home. These youth may have less exposure to English-speaking media, including public smoking prevention initiatives such as the FDA’s “The Real Cost” campaign. Research is needed to explore potential gaps in the reach of “The Real Cost” campaign among bilingual youth. Aims and Methods Data were pooled from the 2017–2019 National Youth Tobacco Surveys. Participants were n = 12 803 middle and high school students who were either: (1) susceptible never smokers; or (2) ever smokers that had smoked less than 100 cigarettes; these criteria reflect the FDA’s definition of “target population” for “The Real Cost” campaign. Multiple, logistic regression analyses examined the relationship between speaking a language other than English at home (ie, bilingual) and self-reported exposure to “The Real Cost” campaign among both samples. Analyses controlled for sex, race/ethnicity, grade level, tobacco marketing exposure, and current tobacco use. Results The majority (61.7%) of youth who met “target population” criteria self-reported exposure to “The Real Cost” from 2017 to 2019. Regression analyses found that youth who reported speaking a language other than English at home were significantly less likely to self-report exposure to “The Real Cost” campaign (adjusted odds ratio: 0.85; p < .001), adjusting for covariates. Conclusions Bilingual youth were significantly less likely to report exposure to “The Real Cost” campaign. Findings suggest the need to develop methods of increasing reach among bilingual youth, given the high smoking prevalence among these youth. Implications This study highlights a social and cultural gap in the reach of the FDA’s “The Real Cost” campaign. Agencies such as FDA should consider enhancing existing mass media campaigns to reach diverse communities, including the nearly 25% of youth who speak a language other than English.

Abstract:
This creative project was developed as a supplement to the external stakeholder assessment component of the strategic planning process that Reach for Youth, Inc. (RFY)-a nonprofit youth organization located in Indianapolis, Indiana-adopted to create its strategic plan for 2002 to 2005. It supplemented the larger strategic planning process by positively engaging youth in focus group activities using surveys, creative exercises, and questionnaires, to attain their input and feedback, as program participants and primary stakeholders in the agency. As a result, youth participation validated the overall process, substantiated RFY's interest in expanding programs, influenced identification of critical issues that formed the basis of the plan, and sparked an organizational conversation about youth participation in the agency. The youth not only provided important feedback that informed RFY's strategic plan, they also were given a meaningful opportunity to express themselves as individuals, and had their roles in and contributions to the agency affirmed.

Full text
Abstract:
Research indicates that parents are an important influence on the career development of their children, but, that they have often been considered as an untapped resource. Rural high school aged students, who reside in metropolitan hostels, often live with their parents for less than 15 weeks per year. How do their parents contribute to their career development? This one year research explored the involvement of parents of hostel children, in the career development process of their youth. Through a case study, an analysis described what it means to be a parent of a hostel adolescent with respects to how they help their youth make career decisions. Based within an ecological framework, parents of hostel adolescents completed a questionnaire. Subsets of this group participated in interviews that focused on narratives and a modification of the critical incident technique as used by Young et al. (1992, 1998), and/or group interviews incorporating a ‘direct to print’ methodology as used by Jeffery et al. (1992).This study supported early findings recognising the important parental role in the career development of todays youth by exploring five areas. The cultural capital of parents of hostel adolescents indicates that they have a real sense of pride in their rural status, actively choosing to live in rural centres. They value honesty and respect, enjoying the freedom ‘country’ life affords them. There are general concerns of safety when their children are living in urban centres and at times an acute awareness of costs. Specific concerns for career development focus on parents perceiving they have a lack of knowledge, skills and expertise essential to adequately assist their childs career development. This situation appears to be compounded by a lack of awareness of resources and/or a reluctance to access them. Parent intentions are to instill in their children independence, responsibility, initiative, perseverance and respect. The most common focal point for career development is the selection of subjects for studies and/or courses to complete. Parents of hostel adolescents favour delivery activities that involve them advising their children and requesting and giving information. They encourage and support their children, showing interest and communicating values. They also see the need to set expectations and limits. This research illustrates that parents of hostel adolescents, although not necessarily attempting to influence particular occupational choice are active agents in influencing their children in a broad range of areas in career development.

Abstract:
Bakgrunden till studien är att det finns begränsad forskning inom det barn- och ungdomsvetenskapliga forskningsfältet om interaktionen mellan ungdomar och professionella i det offentliga rummet. Tidigare forskning inom området har varit inriktad på berättelser från informanter, men få studier har undersökt fenomenet utifrån en etnografisk utgångspunkt. Kunskap om hur interaktionen mellan ungdomar och fältsekreterare utvecklas i det offentliga rummet för att uppnå en legitimitet för fältsekreterare till fältet är mycket begränsad. Att belysa ungdomars agentskap i interaktionen har varit vägledande eftersom tidigare forskning inom fältarbete har varit utifrån de professionellas utgångspunkt. Syftet med studien är att beskriva, analysera och tolka hur fältsekreterare interagerar med ungdomar i det offentliga rummet. Genom en etnografisk ansats skildras (observeras), inte bara det som sägs, utan även det som görs i interaktionen. Följande forskningsfrågor har undersökts: Hur skapar fältsekreterare legitimitet till fältet? Vilka strategier använder fältsekreterare för att skapa kontakt med ungdomar och samtidigt tillvarata ungas agentskap och vilka egenskaper upplever ungdomar är viktiga att ha som fältsekreterare? Studien bygger på deltagande observationer, och på informella samtal med ungdomar, i en utvald kommun avseende fältsekreterares legitimitet till fältet. Genom deltagande observation kan forskaren befinna sig i det offentliga rummet med fältsekreterare och ungdomar och observera det som verkligen händer i interaktionen. Genom tolkning kan forskaren lyckas fånga den subjektiva innebörden av social handling. Sammantaget gjordes tretton fältanteckningar avseende observationerna med två fältsekreterare samt informella samtal med åtta ungdomar, tre killar och fem flickor. Omfattningen av dessa fältanteckningar varierade mellan några preliminära noteringar såsom stödord och mentala noteringar, för att senare utgöra fullständiga fältanteckningar i slutet av dagen. Tolkningsprocessen genom den hermeutiska cirkeln har varit till hjälp för en erfarenhetsnära tolkning av fältsekreterares sätt att handla. Resultatet visar att legitimitetskapande till fältet förutsätter att professionella genom ett socialpedagogiskt förhållningssätt agerar i det offentliga rummet och interagerar med ungdomarna i den kontexten dessa befinner sig i. Genom att ha kunskap om ungdomar, förmedlar fältsekreterare tillit och trygghet. Genom att synas i det offentliga rummet utövar fältsekreterare en form av makt, vilken innefattar såväl kontrollerande som hjälpande dimensioner. Fältsekreterarnas strategier för att skapa legitimitet förutsätter ofta förtroendefulla relationer till ungdomar.
The background of the study is that there is limited research in the child- and youth research field, on the interaction between youth and professionals in the public space. Previous research in the field have been focused on stories from informants, but few studies have been based on an ethnographic approach. Observing how the interaction between young people and out-reach workers develops in public spaces to achieve legitimacy to the field is very limited. Promoting youth agency in the interaction has been guiding in this study, as previous fieldwork research has been based on the professional's point of view. The purpose of the study is to describe, analyze and interpret how out-reach workers interact with young people in the public space. Through an ethnographic study show, not only what is said but also observe what is happening in the interaction. The relevant issues for this study are the following ones: How do out-reach workers create legitimacy in the field? What strategies are out-reach workers using to make contact with young people while at the same time preserving their agency? And, from a young person’s perspective, which characteristics are important to have as an out-reach worker? The study is based on participative observations and informal conversations with young people and outreach worker in a selected municipality. Through participative observation we can find ourselves in public spaces with outreach workers and young people and observe what is really happening in the interaction between them. By interpretation, the researcher is able to capture the subjective importance of social action. All in all, thirteen field notes were made. The scope of these field notes varied between some preliminary notes such as support words and mental notes, to later complete full field notes at the end of the day. The interpreting process through the hermeneutic circle has been helpful for the experience-near interpretation of the individual's way of thinking, but also the way of acting. The result shows that the creation of legitimacy in the field requires that professionals through a social pedagogical approach act in public space and interact with the young people in the context in which they are. By having knowledge of young people, the outreach worker convey confidence and security. By appearing in the public space, outreach worker exercise a form of power, which includes both controlling and helping dimensions. The outreach workers strategies for creating legitimacy often require trustful relationships with young people.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis examines how the Hitler Youth generation represented their pasts in memoirs written in West Germany, post-unification Germany, and North America. Its aim is two-fold: to scrutinise the under-examined source base of memoirs and to demonstrate how representations of childhood, adolescence and maturation are integral to reconstructing memory of the Nazi past. It introduces the term ‘collected memoryscape’ to encapsulate the more nebulous multi-dimensional collective memory. Historical and literary theories nuance the reading of autobiography and memoirs as ego-documents, forming a new methodological basis for historians to consider. The Hitler Youth generation is defined as those individuals born between 1925 and 1933 in Germany, who spent the majority of their formative years under Nazi educational and cultural polices. The study compares published and unpublished memoirs, along with German and English-language memoirs, to examine constructions of personal and historical events. Some traumas, such as rapes, have only just resurfaced publicly - despite their inclusion in private memoirs since the 1940s. On a public level, West Germans underwent Vergangenheitsbewältigung (coming to terms with the past), these memoirs illustrate that, in the post-war period, private and generational memory reinterpretation continued in multitudinous ways. For example, even after the 1995 German Wehrmacht exhibitions, cohort members continued to express a fondness for the Waffen-SS or Wehrmacht in their writings. This thesis dialogically juxtaposes public and personal memory, also exploring how individuals experienced and represented controversial memories of Nazism. Overall, the cohort members employed three main narration methods: they normalised their childhood experiences; they silenced uncomfortable aspects of their past; and they cast themselves as victims as a coping mechanism, in order to achieve closure. This thesis argues for a more nuanced reading of Nazi-related memoirs and makes the case that public memory is not necessarily reflected on a personal level.

Abstract:
This paper explores public health campaigns as they relate to tweens and their use of technology. After considering how this demographic utilizes both traditional and new media, further examination was done on general health problems that affect this group. Three major health issues were then chosen for analysis. A relevant campaign for each issue was also evaluated, as were its overall marketing and communication efforts. The health problems and corresponding campaigns chosen include childhood obesity and the “Let’s Move” campaign, electronic aggression and the “Stop Bullying” campaign and youth suicide and the “WeCanHelpUs” campaign. From these analyses, recommendations for ways to improve each campaign were provided, as were general conclusions for reaching this demographic more efficiently and effectively.

Abstract:
AbstractPositive youth development (PYD) is an approach to child and adolescent education that provides resources in the school and community to enable youth to reach their full potential and to flourish in a democratic society. The approach draws on various disciplines and legacies in its practices and approaches, ranging from school curricula to out-of-school activities that have long traditions, such as scouting and 4-H clubs. We take note of the philosophical tradition stemming from Aristotle that prioritized acquiring various virtues as the path to human happiness and how virtues of justice, temperance, courage, and prudence are the focus for many present-day programs under the umbrella of PYD. We review the dominant theories of PYD as well as school programs that have been developed to encourage PYD, including social-emotional learning, character education, civics education, and service learning. We also examine the effects of out-of-school programs on PYD outcomes. We conclude with the prospects for PYD and the challenges that remain for its future development.

Abstract:
AbstractSchool-based outdoor learning can offer a valuable means to reach a wider range of children than through community-based health and wellbeing projects as the majority of children regularly attend school. This is especially important now as the time children spend outside has decreased over recent years with access most restricted for low socioeconomic and minority ethnic groups and the COVID-19 pandemic has placed increasing pressures on how to maintain educational outcomes and health. The challenges to contemporary health and wellbeing include both physical and mental health, with rising levels of childhood obesity and declining mental health in youth. In this chapter, we describe research that has looked at pupils’ physical activity levels during the school day, and children’s and teachers’ wellbeing as a result of school-based outdoor learning. We reflect on how these key outcomes—health and wellbeing—may best be supported for this and future generations.

Abstract:
AbstractAccess to seeds of improved groundnut varieties is the most critical problem of farmers in Burkina Faso. Firstly, majority do not know the existence of improved varieties and secondly the price is not affordable to them. Based on the above, the INERA groundnut breeders’ team established four innovation platforms on groundnut in the Region of Centre-East, Region of Centre-North, Region of Centre-West and Region de la Boucle of Mouhoun. Through these platforms, Quality Declared Seeds (QDS) were produced for the first time in Burkina Faso in 2016 with support from the Tropical Legumes phase III (TL III) project. Since then, QDS and certified seeds are produced and sold to the local communities at affordable small packs in order to make improved seeds accessible to the poor farmers. So far about 10,000 persons have been reached with small packs. Farmers, agricultural extension and NGO staff have been trained in groundnut seed production, demonstrations, field days and Farmer Participatory Variety Selection (FPVS) to promote the improved varieties and the best agronomic practices. Farmers’ yields increased from 500–700 kg/ha to 1200–1500 kg/ha increasing women and youth incomes from 200 USD to 800 USD/year only for those who grow groundnut during the rainy season. Those who grow during rainy and off-seasons their incomes can reach 1200–1500 USD. Links with financial institutions have facilitated access to credit for these farmers. In the future, the Platform sustainability will be assured through members’ annual financial contributions and strong production contracts among traders, processors and farmers.

Abstract:
In this chapter, the authors employ a post-structural theoretical frame to make sense of young people’s evolving and hybrid identities in late modern European societies. They explore how notions of race, gender, class and sexuality intersect with each other, and how this demands a similarly intersectional response to youth violence from workers. The authors discuss how worker training needs to stay within reach of community members but provide the necessary time and space for the development of the reflexivity and critical thinking skills such an intersectional context demands. Youth workers whose own biographies have exposed them to the dominant world-views of the communities in which they grew up need to be constantly on the look-out for how that world-view is colouring their approach to their work in diverse, changing communities. The authors warn that the impact of a poorly trained and unreflexive worker could be minimal at best and, at worst, risks exacerbating the problem of youth violence.

Abstract:
In Amhara region, labor appears to be the best strategy to secure livelihood of households in the changing economic, social, political and physical environment. Among this, labor migration to the Middle East and the Sudan has been taken as a major option by the youth from the region. Prior to initiating the migration process, migrants have a preconceived reflection on what to expect on the journey and the experience to be faced in the destination country. They thus go through a ritual of different kinds to protect themselves and reach to their destination. There are also certain rituals migrants use as a strategy and coping mechanism that help them settle at their destination and maintain relations with their families and the community in their place of origin. It is such rituals by migrants and the ideologies associated with it that this study focuses upon.

Abstract:
This chapter highlights the voices of teenagers and young people, considering the difficulties they face today. In accordance with emergent themes from the data — and given that the Scottish Government, Police Scotland, and the National Crime Agency have all highlighted the significant threat posed by drug abuse and serious organised crime related to the illegal supply of narcotics — it was perhaps not surprising to find drug supply, and drug misuse, at the forefront of the young people's narratives. Therefore, the chapter explores drug supply and the impact on young people, as well as their own descriptions of their roles in drug distribution networks. It would seem that sustained efforts by interventionist agencies, police, and the Scottish Violence Reduction Unit (SVRU) to tear down long-held territorial barriers in the west of Scotland may have had unforeseen consequences in that this has allowed youth to move about more freely and thus develop, or at least engage in, existing drug supply networks. Ultimately, drug dealing has replaced gang violence and many young people are serving as useful points of contact for dealers looking to reach new clientele.

Abstract:
The barriers to the gainful employment of youth and girls are many and amongst many others includes the lack of employable skills, business and life skills commonly known as soft skills. The stiff competition in both the employment market and business world leaves them reliant on social networks and those without such networks face an uphill struggle to find gainful employment and lucrative businesses. Many youths were forced to seek skills that would enable them to earn using technology such as coding, web and app development among others during the Covid19 lockdown. With these skills youths can play a big role not only in ecommerce but in sectors such as service sector, Manufacturing, ICT-based Services, Tourism, Transport, and Agriculture and take advantage of opportunities due to the speed at which the country is undertaking large infrastructure developments. // The current skilling programs have helped girls stay in school, gain interest in mathematics and science subjects as well as gaining other skills such as critical thinking, creativity, typing and writing skills, and has helped the youths who have so far participated to reach their full potential with some of them able to write outstanding CVs, excel in job interviews and secure parttime and full jobs. // For the youth who lack minimum qualifications to join universities other programs should be introduced to enable them to learn relevant skills as they search for the certifications required to join institutions of higher education as a way of encouraging them not to give up on searching for knowledge. These programs need to be marketed through multichannel marketing methods such as social media, on-air marketing, email marketing and scaled up to reach out to millions of youths in all universities, high school students and those out of school in Uganda and in the East African region. Since these skills are not acquired through one off training there’s need to ensure continuous learning for students with newer topics and technologies that are sort out for by employers and customers through practical and interactive training sessions with trainees’ progress being assessed and monitored on a day-to-day and weekly basis by the instructors and their learning level should be individually evaluated at the end of each training.

Abstract:
The trade and skills of wooden boatbuilding began to die with the development of fiberglass reinforced plastic boats, and long before 1992 wooden boatbuilding was considered a dead industry. Still, the building of a wooden boat was something that could catch a child's attention; to build and sail a boat of one's own could be a consuming project that would set a pattern for life. In 1990 a program began to build on this premise: to reach out to the troubled youth of the inner cities, teach useable skills, self confidence, and pride of accomplishment by teaching youths to build small wooden boats, then teaching them to sail the boats that they built.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Football is the most popular game and is one of the most dynamically developing sport regarding training means, methods, and use of technologies. We are witnessing constant improvement of sport selection, increasing dynamics in both training process and speed of playing, etc. We find a lot of information regarding body composition of elite football players, but such information for adolescents is fragmentary. The aim of the following study is to reveal real data of youth football players using special equipment (In Body 270) measuring in total 13 indexes. Respondents are players from the youth academy of PCS “Levski” Sofia in U13, U14 and U15 teams. All data is subject to statistical and expert analysis. The total number of respondents is 57 divided by three age groups. The fundamental anthropometric indexes height and weight reveal logical increase as follows: average height increases from 159 cm (U13), 167 cm (U14) to reach 175 cm (U15). The corresponding average weight vary between 45,9 kg (U13) to 62,1 kg (U15). One of the easiest to measure index is BMI have average values for studied teams as follows: 17,9 (U13), 19,0 (U14) and 20,3 (U15). All other indexes as body fat, skeletal and muscle weight are analyzed in detail for the three age groups. Based on received data and the development of evaluation tables we can control objectively body composition of youth football players. This way we can improve sport selection and training process. All experimental data must be used applying the individual approach for assessing the anthropometric and sexual development of the player.

In this knowledge-based era, plenty of decisions which have a possible impact on people and the environment are backed by statistical considerations. The Census and Statistics Department (C&SD), as the central statistical office in Hong Kong, has been playing an active role in promoting proper and effective application and interpretation of statistics among students, the future pillars of our society. Over all these years, C&SD has been adopting a variety of means to reach out to students with a view to equipping our future generation with the necessary statistical knowledge and skills in this increasingly data-centric world. In particular, continuous efforts have been made to foster statistical education, including : facilitating easy access of official statistics; organising talks and visits for students; and collaborating with the local statistical community. This paper will discuss in detail how C&SD promotes and enhances statistical literacy of students in Hong Kong.

Abstract:
When Taiwan moved towards an aging society, there are very rich studies for the elderly in academic. The past, many studies focus on physical function decline, but less study focused on the age influence on hand function learning effect. The purpose of this study is use of a learning curve model to explore the difference between elder and youth in the handedness dexterity. Twenty youth and 20 elder were recruited. A Purdue pegboard was used to measure the dominant hand dexterity for 15 times, and a 20-second rest was given between successive trials. A learning curve in power function was modeled for each participant, and the associated theoretical time to complete the first trial () and learning rate () were calculated. The ANOVA result indicated that the learning rate between youth and elder was not significantly different, but elder had significantly longer . That is, for pure motor skill, degeneration in hand dexterity due to aging only slows the moving speed, but does not shift the learning rate. Therefore, to reach a present industrial standard elder need more practice, otherwise, we should reduce the standard to match the physical capabilities of elders.

Full text
Abstract:
With the development of the concept of "sustainable development", considerable attention is being paid today to the problems of energy conservation, environmental protection and rational consumption of natural resources, in connection with which the development of new concrete formulations and concreting technologies is relevant. In particular, self-compacting concrete (SCC) is a promising material that allows optimizing the process of laying concrete, while reducing labor and energy costs. An important aspect in the implementation of the concept of "sustainable development" is the use of industrial waste as concrete modifiers. This study is devoted to the study of the effect of carbon black dispersion on the technological and physico-mechanical properties of the SCC. The carbon black content in the concrete mix varied from 0 to 0.5% by weight of cement. An increase in the additive content from 0 to 0.5% led to an increase in the spreading of the standard cone from 650 to 700-720 mm, while the time to reach the spreading diameter of 500 mm was 3-4 s. The density and compressive strength of SCC samples modified with the dispersion of carbon black, compared with the control sample, changed slightly with an increase in the additive content up to 0.25% by weight of cement.

In 2022 Annual Scientific Meeting of the Research Society on Marijuana. Research Society on Marijuana, 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.26828/cannabis.2022.02.000.18.

Full text
Abstract:
Purpose: The provision of cannabis storage devices paired with consumer prevention messages at point-of-sale has been considered by local health agencies to reduce youth access to cannabis in homes with adult cannabis consumers. This project sought to learn about current storage practices, interest in safe storage devices, and acceptability of youth prevention messages among adult consumers with youth at home. Methods: Potential participants responded to a Facebook advertisement and then completed an online survey which identified those who were over 21, used cannabis at least six times in the past six months, had children at home, lived in a target WA state county, and made at least one purchase from a cannabis store. Semi-structured interviews were conducted over Zoom, in May-June 2021. Participants responded to open-ended questions and reacted to existing prevention messages. Thematic analysis was performed by the three authors in two iterations; first initial themes were identified, and a coding framework was developed, then focused coding was conducted using this framework. Results: Sixteen parents ranging in age from 21-50 were interviewed. Most were women (14; 88%), 10 (63%) were White/Caucasian, 3 (19%) Black/African American, and 1 (1%) each Pacific Islander and White/Caucasian, Native American/American Indian, and Black/African American and White/Caucasian. Eleven had children between 2-10 y.o. and six between 11-17 y.o. in the home. Thirteen (81%) used cannabis daily, many for medicinal reasons. Parents described a wide range of storage practices and were supportive of receiving storage devices from retail stores. Health messages were well received when they were simple, depicted parents in a positive light, included relatable images, and emphasized edibles and that children may not know that products contain cannabis. Parents saw the importance of messages focused on brain development and the social consequences of teen use but were wary of messages that encouraged adult cannabis use to be hidden, that suggested that adults should communicate their disapproval of cannabis, or that described cannabis as addictive. Conclusions: Parents who use cannabis expressed concern for their kids and understood that cannabis use can negatively affect child development. While most were willing to store their cannabis out of reach of their children, cannabis was not viewed as being as harmful as other products that they consider a priority to store out of reach of children, such as opioids, alcohol, and guns. Content of health messages can easily be rejected if perceived as judgmental, stigmatizing, or untrue. Most parents trusted that open dialogues with their kids was the most effective prevention, and most were not willing to hide their own use.

Iffat, Idris. Approaches to Youth Violence in Jordan. Institute of Development Studies, November 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.19088/k4d.2021.121.

Full text
Abstract:
Youth violence, particularly targeting the state as well as engagement in violent extremism, has been a persistent feature in Jordan over the past decade. There are numerous factors driving this: economic, political and social marginalization of young people; a search for purpose (in the case of religious extremism); and ineffective youth policies on the part of the government. Other key forms of marginalization in Jordan are ethnicity, gender and disability. With regard to community security mechanisms, Jordan has made efforts to introduce community policing. These link in with traditional tribal dispute resolution mechanisms, but the impact on youth is unclear. Psychosocial support for youth is important. Interventions will vary depending on needs and context, but sport and education (learning spaces) are especially effective avenues to reach young people. This review drew on a mixture of academic and grey literature. While it found significant literature about youth protests in Jordan (in particular in the early 2010s) and on drivers of youth violence, as well as other forms of marginalization in the country, there was very little on community security mechanisms – whether formal or informal. The review identified several sources of recommendations for psychosocial support programming (for youth), but few evaluations of such interventions specifically targeting youth in other countries. Overall, there are gaps in the evidence base, highlighting the need for further research.

Full text
Abstract:
This study provides insights into a specific, hard-to-reach youth subpopulation—those born in agricultural areas in Western Kenya who migrate to large towns and cities—that is often missed by research and development activities. Using a mixed-methods approach, we find high variability in movement of youth between rural villages, towns, and large urban areas. Top reasons for youth migration align with existing literature, including pursuit of job opportunities and education. For youth from villages where crop farming is the primary economic activity for young adults, 77 percent responded that they are very interested in that work, in contrast to the common notion that youth are disinterested in agriculture. We also find many youth interested in settling permanently in their villages in the future. This research confirms that youth migration is dynamic, requiring that policymakers and development practitioners employ methods of engaging youth that recognize the diversity of profiles and mobility of this set of individuals.

Many young people, particularly those who are at risk for HIV and reproductive health-related problems, do not seek traditional facility-based health services. Out-of-facility services for this group are therefore being implemented in many different settings. Such services aim to reach young people where they are, for example in schools, workplaces, youth centres and on the street.

Abstract:
How far is the world away from ensuring that every child obtains the basic skills needed to be internationally competitive? And what would accomplishing this mean for world development? Based on the micro data of international and regional achievement tests, we map achievement onto a common (PISA) scale. We then estimate the share of children not achieving basic skills for 159 countries that cover 98.1 percent of world population and 99.4 percent of world GDP. We find that at least two-thirds of the world’s youth do not reach basic skill levels, ranging from 24 percent in North America to 89 percent in South Asia and 94 percent in Sub-Saharan Africa. Our economic analysis suggests that the present value of lost world economic output due to missing the goal of global universal basic skills amounts to over $700 trillion over the remaining century, or 11 percent of discounted GDP.

Full text
Abstract:
Literature focusing on the aftermath of conflict in the Western Balkans, notes that many people remain focused on stereotypes and prejudices between different ethnic groups stoking fear of a return to conflict. This rapid review examines evidence focussing on various interventions that seek to promote inter-group relations that are greatly elusive in the political realm in the Western Balkan. Socio-political change requires a growing critical mass that sees the merit in progressive and conciliatory ethnic politics and is capable of side-lining divisive ethno-nationalist forces. This review provides an evidence synthesis of pathways through which micro-level, civil-society-based interventions can produce ‘ripple effects’ in society and scale up to affect larger geographic areas and macro-level socio-political outcomes. These interventions help in the provision of alternative platforms for dealing with divisive nationalism in post-conflict societies. There is need to ensure that the different players participating in reconciliation activities are able to scale up and attain broader reach to ensure efficacy and hence enabling them to become ‘multiplier of peace.’ One such way is by providing tools for activism. The involvement of key people and institutions, who are respected and play an important role in the everyday life of communities and participants is an important factor in the design and success of reconciliation initiatives. These include the youth, objective media, and journalists. The transformation of conflict identities through reconciliation-related activities is theorised as leading to the creation of peace constituencies that support non-violent approaches to conflict resolution and sustainable peace The success of reconciliation interventions largely depends on whether it contributes to redefining otherwise antagonistic identities and hostile relationships within a community or society.

Youth centres in Ghana: Assessment of the Planned Parenthood Association of Ghana Programme. Population Council, 1998. http://dx.doi.org/10.31899/rh1998.1009.

Full text
Abstract:
The sexual and reproductive health of adolescents has become a major public concern, particularly with the advent of HIV/AIDS. Many organizations have tried to find strategies to reach youth with reproductive health (RH) information and services through various service delivery models. One such model has been the multipurpose youth center approach. Multipurpose youth centers typically include recreational or vocational services as entry points for RH and family planning (FP) information and services. There is some evidence in a variety of African settings (notably Kenya and Zimbabwe) suggesting that these centers are underutilized and not cost-effective. As a result, the Planned Parenthood Association of Ghana (PPAG) reviewed its youth center program to gauge effectiveness in reaching young people in Ghana with RH/FP information and services. The findings from this research are useful to PPAG’s youth program and are also relevant for other African FP associations and agencies using this model. As noted in this report, the lessons learned from this research will be useful to policymakers and government officials whose work entails ensuring the welfare of youth.

HIV voluntary counseling and testing among youth ages 14 to 21: Results from an exploratory study in Nairobi, Kenya, and Kampala and Masaka, Uganda. Population Council, 2001. http://dx.doi.org/10.31899/hiv2001.1007.

Full text
Abstract:
HIV voluntary counseling and testing (VCT) programs increase safe sexual behavior and use of care and support services among adults. By helping clients learn their HIV serostatus and creating a personalized HIV risk-reduction plan, VCT can provide the information and support necessary to change risky behaviors that could lead to HIV infection or transmission. Counseling and a risk-reduction plan are the key features distinguishing VCT from other HIV testing services. VCT has become a widely advocated HIV/AIDS prevention strategy among adults. Sixty percent of all new HIV infections in sub-Saharan Africa, however, occur among young people ages 10–24. Because few young people use any health services, using VCT as a strategy to reduce risk behaviors among young people appears to be more challenging than it would be among adults. Findings from exploratory research in Uganda and Kenya provide some answers. Specifically, researchers sought to understand young people’s experiences with HIV testing and the factors that inhibit or motivate youth to use testing services. As noted in this report, researchers and service-providing organizations used these findings to develop strategies to reach youth with VCT services.

Testing alternative channels for providing emergency contraception to young women. Population Council, 2001. http://dx.doi.org/10.31899/rh2001.1030.

Full text
Abstract:
In September 1997, the Population Council and Lusaka’s University Teaching Hospital (UTH) launched a 15-month study to identify and explore the range of issues relating to the introduction of emergency contraception (EC) within a developing country context. The study allowed clinic-based family planning providers to accumulate enough first-hand experience to be able to identify strategies for overcoming difficulties associated with the introduction or delivery of EC services. One issue on most participants’ minds was the need to expand the delivery of EC services toward young women, especially out-of-school women, who are harder to reach. Participants recommended that future research activities look beyond school-based health facilities and focus on institutions such as pharmacists, peer counselors, youth clubs, community organizations, or even sports associations. The findings of the 1997 UTH study on EC indicated the kinds of facilities young people were likely to reject, but provided little indication of what types of outlets they might prefer. As noted in this report, the present study was designed with that objective in mind.
