In 2016 and 2017, the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene established Neighborhood Health Action Centers (Action Centers) in disinvested communities of color as part of a place-based model to advance health equity. This model includes co-located partners, a referral and linkage system, and community space and programming. In 2018, we surveyed visitors to the East Harlem Action Center to provide a more comprehensive understanding of visitors’ experiences. The survey was administered in English, Spanish, and Mandarin. Respondents were racially diverse and predominantly residents of East Harlem. The majority had been to the East Harlem Action Center previously. Most agreed that the main service provider for their visit made them feel comfortable, treated them with respect, spoke in a way that was easy to understand, and that they received the highest quality of service. A little more than half of returning visitors reported engaging with more than one Action Center program in the last 6 months. Twenty-one percent of respondents reported receiving at least one referral at the Action Center. Two thirds were aware that the Action Center offered a number of programs and services and half were aware that referrals were available. Additional visits to the Action Center were associated with increased likelihood of engaging with more than one program and awareness of the availability of programs and referral services. Findings suggest that most visitors surveyed had positive experiences, and more can be done to promote the Action Center and the variety of services it offers.

Abstract The following is an ethnographical study of two ‘churches unusual’ in Brooklyn, New York, USA: ‘unusual’ because all are members of a local citizen’s organization. East Brooklyn Congregations (EBC) is itself an affiliate of the Industrial Areas Foundation (IAF), a broad-based organizing network grounded in the idea that the most potent power is found in community relationships. The ethnography presented here of two EBC member institutions—Hope Christian Center and St Paul Community Baptist Church—moves back and forth between each congregation’s worship and participation in the citizens’ organization to which it belongs. In juxtaposing their religious practice and organizing, this article explores the relationship between them, asking how religious identities are changed in the organizing process.

This article discusses innovations and evolution in the optics industry. Local firms teamed with Monroe Community College to hold events that introduced high school students to optics . Paul Ballentine, who analyzes technology opportunities as deputy director of University of Rochester’s Center for Emerging and Innovative Sciences, sees plenty of upside. Light-based systems are continuing to grow, but Rochester’s optics community will have to reinvent itself to thrive. The Rochester Regional Photonics Cluster has morphed into New York Photonics, with additional clusters in Buffalo, central New York, Albany, and Long Island. It now represents hundreds of optics and photonics companies throughout the state. Paul Conrow, who was teaching physical sciences at Rochester’s East High School, is now recruiting 10th graders and showing them Rochester’s optics industry. Conrow presented the idea to the district superintendent, who had been principal in the only school in America with a student eyeglass program. He introduced Conrow to teachers at a sister high school where members of the cluster were helping to plan a precision optics program.

People diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease (PD) are presented with unique challenges. The American Parkinson Disease Association, Inc. (APDA) was founded in 1961 “to ease the burden, to find the cure” for PD. Headquartered in New York, the organization has a long-standing history of providing grassroots support for those dealing with PD. In 1974, APDA established the first local Information and Referral (I&R) Centers. APDA currently funds the operation of 61 I&R Centers across the continental US. To ensure the vibrant, day-to-day operation of these Centers, the APDA has a dedicated cadre of I&R Center coordinators who help ‘ease the burden’ of PD. These coordinators come from a wide variety of professional backgrounds, particularly the fields of nursing and social work. Although coordinator qualifications are diverse, universal to all is a passion to offer patients, families, and the general community a better understanding of PD, as well as the skills to successfully manage the formidable challenges presented by the disease.

Since its introduction in New York City in 1999, the virus has spread throughout the entire North American continent and continues to spread into Central and Latin America. Our report discusses the signs and symptoms, diagnostics, and treatment of West Nile disease. It is important to recognize the disease quickly and initiate appropriate treatment. We present three cases of West Nile encephalitis at White Memorial Medical Center in East Los Angeles that occurred over the span of eight days. All three patients live within four to six miles from the hospital and do not live or work in an environment favorable to mosquitoes including shallow bodies of standing water, abandoned tires, or mud ruts. All the patients were Hispanic. Physicians and other health care providers should consider West Nile infection in the differential diagnosis of causes of aseptic meningitis and encephalitis, obtain appropriate laboratory studies, and promptly report cases to public health authorities. State governments should establish abatement programs that will eliminate sources that allow for mosquito reproduction and harboring. The public needs to be given resources that educate them on what entails the disease caused by the West Nile virus, what the symptoms are, and, most importantly, what they can do to prevent themselves from becoming infected.

The objective of this exploratory community-based trial was to examine the usage and behavior of underserved urban residents participating in a 2-month food voucher program. $70 supermarket vouchers were provided each month for 2 months to participants enrolled in selected child daycare centers in East Harlem, New York, and receipts were collected to examine purchases. Participants were from low-income households with at least 1 child 5 years and younger (n = 113). Participants spent the most on meat, fish, poultry, and eggs (29.7%); fruits and vegetables (15.9%); and cereal and bakery products (15.1%). Fruit and vegetable purchases and dairy purchases were higher in foreign-born participants than in US-born participants. Furthermore, future models should consider the potential benefit of unrestricted vouchers in supporting differences in dietary needs and preferences.

Journal of Clinical Oncology 42, n. 16_suppl (1 giugno 2024): e13530-e13530. http://dx.doi.org/10.1200/jco.2024.42.16_suppl.e13530.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
e13530 Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second deadliest cancer in the U.S. and while rates vary among racial/ethnic groups, the Black community is disproportionately impacted with the highest incidence and mortality rates. Notably, CRC rates have also been rising among younger individuals aged 45 to 49. Recruitment of diverse and underrepresented groups, such as the populations described above, is increasingly important to enhance generalizability and real world performance in clinical studies. Freenome is developing a blood-based test (MyTectCRC) with the aim of providing a convenient and accessible option for CRC screening. Clinical validation of MyTectCRC test will be supported by PREEMPT CRC, a prospective, observational, multi-center study. The aim of this analysis is to assess the use of community-based recruitment approaches in a diverse inner-city population in Brooklyn, New York. Methods: PREEMPT CRC enrolled subjects aged 45-85 who were at average risk for CRC. To ensure representation of ethnic groups that have historically been difficult to recruit, the study deliberately engaged sites delivering care in diverse communities. Moskowitz Practice recruited from a patient base consisting largely of city workers in Brooklyn, New York, and deployed several patient-focused, ease-of-access methods such as convenient location for colonoscopy (CS) in an ambulatory surgery center, direct patient education from the physician, direct patient support from attentive and engaged site staff, customizable scheduling and screening reminders, and patient-to-patient referrals. Notably, the same approach was used for all study candidates, regardless of the participant’s ethnic/racial representation. Results: Community-based approaches contributed to strong participation from the site’s community in PREEMPT CRC. Importantly, the participants were representative of the local population with 87.4% of the enrollees identified as Black, a group historically underrepresented in oncology studies. The site also successfully enrolled young participants aged 45 to 50 (20.5%) and more females (58.2%) than males. Participants had relatively healthy lifestyles with 91.4% reporting as non-smokers, and 65% reporting no alcohol use. Study participants were highly compliant with study required procedures such as blood collection (100%) and CS (95%). Conclusions: The community-specific methods utilized by the site helped contribute to the diversity enrollment in PREEMPT CRC while recruiting participants that are representative of the local community. Ensuring diversity in clinical studies is the beginning to promoting equity in CRC screening, diagnosis and treatment. A blood-based test, supported by clinical evidence built on data from a diverse and representative population, may provide a convenient and accessible option for CRC screening and potentially increase the screening rate and reduce the CRC burden.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
INTRODUCTION Scenic Hudson's Long Dock Park is a resilient living work of art and a vibrant community asset for the Hudson River Valley. A 23-acre peninsula on the east side of the Hudson at Beacon, New York, the site includes the Peter J. Sharp Park and the Klara Sauer Hudson River Trail. Two decades in the making, beginning in 1997, it took a decade to plan and remediate, and, by its completion in early 2017, it will have taken just as long to build and recover. In 1997, nonprofit Scenic Hudson, the largest environmental and land preservation group focused on the Hudson River Valley, started assembling the different ownership parcels of the Long Dock site. From 1999 to 2003, they engaged the Beacon community through a series of community meetings and workshops to articulate its vision for its waterfront and cleanup of the site began. From 2003 to 2007, the design team developed the architectural and site program for the project, restoration measures, and its physical expression with the client. Working with the City and the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC), the project completed the State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQR) process, filing a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) and received approval of the final EIS ensuring that there was significant environmental, social, or economic value. The NYSDEC and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) were also directly involved in oversight of the brownfield remediation and work within the Hudson River and site wetlands. With the SEQR process complete and approval of a mitigation plan from the USACE, the team worked with the City of Beacon to complete the site plan application process for construction. Our mandate was clear from the start—build resilience, but realize it incrementally. The project's first phase, opened in 2009, included additional remediation and removal of contaminated soils, removal of invasive species, stabilization of the south shoreline, a test plot for different materials, a wetland boardwalk and interior pathways, installation of native plantings, and site-specific artwork. By 2014, the landscape's multiple character zones were complete: the established meadow, the connective network of trails and boardwalks, the working site infrastructure of wetlands with swales and seeps, the dynamic intertidal zone, and earthen buttresses. A new pavilion for kayak storage and rentals and an arts and environmental education center in the historic Red Barn were significant additions for the program and community engagement of the park (refer to Figure 1). Over the past summer of 2016, portions of the site originally designed as a LEED platinum eco-hotel and conference center are now being remediated and reconceived as a new civic plaza, amphitheater, overlook west deck, boardwalk at Quiet Harbor, and a shade structure with an area for food trucks. Long Dock Park will continue to adjust and adapt to changing circumstances of ecology, climate change, flooding and sea level rise, and culture. Our original goals of renewing and revealing the historic waterfront, increasing public access to the river, restoring degraded environmental conditions, and demonstrating exemplary, environmentally sensitive development—these are complete. And the park was one of the first pilot projects for the Sustainable-SITES certification program and subsequently received SITES's highest rating of a SITES project at the time. Even as we considered program, spatial organization, and aesthetics, our work also sought to create in Long Dock a functional and sustainable ecosystem. The park's design needed to initiate natural processes for the degraded post-industrial brownfield to function and sustain ecosystem services that had not existed before. The design of healthy soils, the integration of hydrology, and the establishment of native plant communities form the true story of the site's transformation from postindustrial ruin into a significant waterfront park.

New York City is projected to add nearly one million residents by the year 2040. At a time when housing supply and affordability are a significant factor for global competitiveness, the city has implemented a variety of regulations and incentives to encourage new development. Current Mayor Bill de Blasio's housing strategy includes an initiative to rezone several neighborhoods to accommodate higher density, encouraging the private real estate development industry to build more units while requiring that a portion of those units be made permanently affordable. While rezoning actions are often studied years later in order to provide enough time to measure their success, the city's plan calls for as many as 15 neighborhoods to be rezoned within 10 years. A real-time analysis of an individual neighborhood rezoning proposal, approved during the time of this thesis, provides the ability to evaluate research questions related to how rezoning is being carried out now and how participants may alter their strategies going forward. The neighborhood of East Harlem, the third area in the city to undergo this rezoning process, is thus used as a case study for how rezoning is carried out, compromised and ultimately approved. The analysis reveals that the total amount of new residential development made possible through rezoning is limited compared to a "no action" scenario. Thus, the most significant impacts of rezoning are not to dramatically increase the number of new residential units to be built, but rather to require that a portion of those new units are made affordable through the introduction of the city's mandatory inclusionary housing program. Additionally, the rezoning process resulted in significant city commitments to public investments in the neighborhood. Yet, these commitments are not guaranteed within a specific timeframe and are almost entirely the responsibility of the public sector to implement. While the ability of rezoning to produce a significant number of new residential units is limited, rezoning will continue to serve as a primary means for the city to attempt to house its growing population.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
The Bronx Cocked Back And Smoking is a collection of multifarious prose performances recounting the historical, personal, social, political and cultural constructs of a city birthed by violence. This body of work is accompanied by video, audio, photography, and theatre performance texts. St. Mary’s Housing project, in the Bronx, is the foundation where most of this literary work takes place. The modern day Griot (storyteller) is a Poet, guiding his audience through the social inequalities and disparities that plague St. Mary’s community. The Poet shares personal traumatic insights while simultaneously utilizing writing as a form of survival to the conditions of the Bronx. This multi-platform performance highlights the metaphorical and physical concerns with the cycle of violence. This question is answered through the Poet’s choice by selecting the pen over the gun.

Erickson, David James Breslich. "An Ethnography of Bureaucratic Practice in a New York State Federally Qualified Community Health Center". Thesis, 2020. https://doi.org/10.7916/d8-zvf4-yf42.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Federally Qualified Community Health Centers - aka FQHCs, Community Health Centers (CHCs), Neighborhood Health Centers, or simply Health Centers - are public and private non-profit healthcare organizations funded under Section 330 of the Public Health Service Act, directed by a consumer board of directors, and complying with Federal requirements to serve medically underserved populations. In 2017 FQHCs saw more than 27 million individual patients in the United States, of whom approximately two million were seen by health centers in New York State (Bureau of Primary Health Care 2017). Despite these staggering figures, relatively little academic work has investigated how these health centers operate at an administrative and bureaucratic level.
To study the bureaucratic practice of FQHCs, this research utilizes an ethnographic approach, conducted over a period of three-plus years at a FQHC in New York State (pseudonymously called Care Center). It incorporates structured interviews, informal interviews, the collection of fieldnotes, and participant observation, as well as qualitative data analysis. Collectively this research approach produces a complex portrait of how bureaucratic activity at the specific FQHC field site was organized, conducted, and structured within the context of substantial growth in the FQHC program. The setting of the study offers a unique opportunity to explore the implications of this bureaucratic activity on FQHCs and, by extension, other safety-net healthcare institutions in the United States.
This research also delivers a substantial historical account of the emergence of the FQHC program in order to connect that account to the broader arc of healthcare history in the United States during the 20th and 21st centuries. This connection demonstrates the linkages between specific aspects of FQHC bureaucratic practice and larger trends in health care more generally. The emphasis on “need” as a discursive object that is frequently referenced and utilized as an organizing mechanism by FQHC bureaucracy allows us to better understand and problematize the use of need as a criterion for organizational growth.

Maxey, Hannah L. "Understanding the Influence of State Policy Environment on Dental Service Availability, Access, and Oral Health in America's Underserved Communities". Thesis, 2014. http://hdl.handle.net/1805/5993.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI)Oral health is crucial to overall health and a focus of the U.S. Health Center program, which provides preventive dental services in medically underserved communities. Dental hygiene is an oral health profession whose practice is focused on dental disease prevention and oral health promotion. Variations in the practice and regulation of dental hygiene has been demonstrated to influence access to dental care at a state level; restrictive policies are associated lower rates of access to care. Understanding whether and to what extent policy variations affect availability and access to dental care and the oral health of medically underserved communities served by grantees of the U.S. Health Center program is the focus of this study. This longitudinal study examines dental service utilization at 1,135 health center grantees that received community health center funding from 2004 to 2011. The Dental Hygiene Professional Practice Index (DHPPI) was used as an indicator of the state policy environment. The influence of grantee and state level characteristics are also considered. Mixed effects models were used to account for correlations introduced by the multiple hierarchical structure of the data. Key findings of this study demonstrate that state policy environment is a predictor of the availability and access to dental care and the oral health status of medically underserved communities that received care at a grantee of the U.S. Health Center program. Grantees located in states with highly restrictive policy environments were 73% less likely to deliver dental services and, those that do, provided care to 7% fewer patients than those grantees located in states with the most supportive policy environments. Population’s served by grantees from the most restrictive states received less preventive care and had greater restorative and emergency dental care needs. State policy environment is a predictor of availability and access to dental care and the oral health status of medically underserved communities. This study has important implications for policy at the federal, state, and local levels. Findings demonstrate the need for policy and advocacy efforts at all levels, especially within states with restrictive policy environments.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
In 1969 the New York Young Lords—a primarily Puerto Rican revolutionary group fighting for the independence of Puerto Rico and creation of a socialist society—occupied the First Spanish United Methodist Church in East Harlem. Following weeks of failed negotiations with the pastor and church board, for eleven days the Young Lords occupied the church and established a breakfast program for children, clothing drive, day care center, medical care, and liberation school. The First Spanish Church, founded in 1922, was a historic Puerto Rican church whose members, after years of fighting for their own building, had ceased to engage community programming as they once had. This chapter explores what came to be known as the New York Young Lords’ First People’s Church Offensive by centering the history of the church and the ways religious language, ideas, and notions of the sacred were central to this rupture in East Harlem, New York City.

Abstract Metropolitan Rochester, New York, is located at about the midpoint of the southern shore of Lake Ontario, 550 km northwest of New York City. Rochester is the core city for an area about 110 km from east to west and about 80 km north to south. Monroe County, which runs some 60 km from east to west, is the jurisdiction within this metropolitan area in which most of the mental health services are provided. While surrounding counties have some of their own services, persons with severe problems, such as psychosis, come into the city medical facilities. Rochester’s strategic location has meant that there is very little duplication of resources within the area. From the epidemiological standpoint, this has two consequences: (1) At the time of primary data collection, there was no significant “leakage” from the area of persons with acute psychoses; all were screened through the Emergency Department of Strong Memorial Hospital, the site of the Rochester WHO Center. (2) Mobility is primarily from one neighborhood to another (e.g., from the inner city to the suburbs). People tend to stay within Monroe County and continue to receive public health care services within the same jurisdiction.

Abstract The completion of the northeastern rail network in the 1850s held great significance for the history of the American reading public. As the previous chapter discussed, railroads opened a national mass market for books and assured easy distribution of literature from publishers in New York, Philadelphia, and Boston. In the first of these cities particularly, American book production centralized, largely at the expense of smaller literary centers scattered across America.

This chapter analyzes the position of the “area studies center” as a major institutional form in the context of a US university that seeks to transform itself into a global institution. It looks at the case of the Hagop Kevorkian Center for Near Eastern Studies at New York University (NYU). NYU is a compelling case for several reasons. First, it exemplifies well the recent efforts to refashion American universities as global entities. Second, the Kevorkian Center at NYU is a quintessential example of the area studies approach initiated during the Cold War. It is argued that two distinct logics of international education coexist at NYU and in the contemporary US university more broadly. These are the specialist logic and the cosmopolitan logic, which encompass divergent ways of thinking about the best way to educate students about the world. The chapter concludes with a discussion of the merits and challenges involved in each of these logics.

Abstract This chapter centers on describing the new framework of ease of access. In considering ease of access, arts organizations should explore how they can reduce the inevitable obstacles that exist between patrons and the access to the arts experience. It explores the broad obstacles of price, time, location, accessibility in venues, and self-efficacy that sometimes create barriers for community members to engage with an arts organization. The chapter encourages arts organizations to see that obstacles can be broken into two components: actual impact and how the obstacle occurs in the potential audience member’s mind. The chapter includes the case of the Public Theater’s Mobile Unit that eased access to communities throughout New York City in the 1950s, by reducing barriers of price, location, and self-efficacy.

Abstract Elbert Hubbard and the Roycroft Community at East Aurora, New York East Aurora is nestled near the far western edge of New York, well over one hundred miles west of the village of Aurora, New York, which makes for just one of the more amusing place name paradoxes in a state well salted with quite a few. Because I teach American cultural history, primarily from the 1870s to the present, the Arts and Crafts movement that flourished at the turn of the century figures prominently in the episodic narrative that I need to relate, directly following the story of American utopianism and coinciding with the meteoric rise of electrified popular culture.

Abstract This chapter describes how before they left the White House, Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter planned to create a peacekeeping institution for the next stage of their careers. Warren Christopher and Charles Kirbo had studied similar places and gave them good advice. Hamilton Jordan wrote a blueprint for it, and on October 2, 1984, they broke the ground for the Carter Center, a private organization that would mediate disputes, work to improve world health, and promote democracy. They made plans for the Jimmy Carter Library and Museum that, when built adjacent to the center, would be gifted to the National Archives. While that major project developed, they embarked upon their first building project with Habitat for Humanity in New York City, Carter wrote The Blood of Abraham; Insights into the Middle East, and they traveled widely in Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America as ambassadors for justice and peace. On October 1, 1986, President Reagan arrived in Atlanta to make the official dedication that marked the opening of both the library and the center.

This chapter describes how the Vietnam War proved as divisive and damaging to the Liberal Party in New York as it was to the liberal coalition throughout the country. The party's struggle to come up with a coherent position regarding the war exposed all sorts of internal divisions: although lines were blurred, younger members, upstate branches, intellectuals, and those inclined to find common cause with the New Left and New Politics movements opposed the war. Those for whom the party's founding anti-communism remained a cardinal principle, many of them former socialists and Lovestoneites, supported the war. Most significantly for the party, its drift into the antiwar camp threatened its treasured relationship with the Johnson administration and exacerbated tensions with the International Ladies' Garment Workers' Union (ILGWU), whose officers generally took a pro-war position. As battles over the war in Vietnam heated up, so did racial conflict in US cities. Events such as the clash between the New York teachers' union and proponents of community control over public schools further exacerbated divisions among liberals in general, and within the Liberal Party in particular.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This graduate architecture studio investigates a climate change mitigation strategy that scales down and localizes waste collection, situating it within the urban fabric at the scale of New York City community districts. In these proposals, infrastructural programming is combined with public amenities that take advantage of the byproducts ofthe waste treatment process. This mixed-use infrastructure proposes a model for urban densification that makes more strategic use of transportation infrastructure and urban land use by interweaving green manufacturing and industry within urban community environments. The project assumes the incorporation of the latest filtration technologies developed in places like Japan, Sweden and Denmark that are able to filter 95-99% of different types of emissions. This makes it possible to situate these facilities in dense urban environments where they can locally capture waste streams where they are generated. It is understood that the long-term solution to waste management is the elimination of the use of fossil fuels and the complete recycling of waste. Localizing the waste to energy facility eliminates the pollution issues associated with transportation. Waste to energy puts garbage to good use by converting it to steam for electricity production and has been proven to be environmentally preferable to landfill, which are known for their greenhouse gas emissions. Combining infrastructure with public programming that can take advantage of the heat and energy byproducts of the WTE process has the added benefit of bringing visibility to the issue of waste. When neighborhoods are constrained to effectively live with their waste they are incentivized to process it as efficiently as they can. The test sites for the project were waterfront locations chosen to align with proposed East River Ferry stops to bring more visibility and efficiency to the proposed system of localized waste processing. Site One is situated on Pier 36 in Manhattan and includes the Lower East Side and Chinatown. Site Two is adjacent to the Brooklyn Navy Yard, which includes the Hasidic community as well as other Williamsburg residents. This work has been presented at the Center for Architecture in collaboration with the Committee on the Environment (COTE) in a symposium featuring work from Pratt Institute and the New Jersey Institute of Technology. The studio format, combining design and technical faculty, was awarded special commendation by the NAAB in the program’s most recent accreditation. Several of these projects have been recognized in national student award competitions.

<p>The Altstadtring-Tunnel is one of the essential east-west traffic routes in the city center of Munich and was constructed in the late 1960s. Segment 34 of the tunnel was built directly underneath the existing Prince-Carl- Palais, a historic building from 1804. Therefore 15 pre-stressed concrete girders with an effective depth of</p><p>3.5 m and a maximum span of up to 30 m were built which now form the tunnel roof slab. These girders were pre-stressed with steel nowadays well known for stress corrosion cracking. A recalculation of the slab showed that no ductile failure can be guaranteed in case of a progressive rupture of the tendons. Therefore, a concept for strengthening the slab was developed using concrete screw anchors as post installed bending and shear reinforcement. The concrete screw anchors are normally installed as anchoring elements in cracked and non- cracked concrete and are available with diameters up to 22 mm. Developing this concept further, it is straight forward to use these anchoring elements as post-installed reinforcement in existing concrete structures. This new strengthening system was developed at the University of Innsbruck in the last few years and can fulfill the special requirements of this project, such as installation of the strengthening system from underneath the tunnel slab during ongoing use of the structure. High strength steel with diameters of up to 63.5 mm will be used as post-installed bending reinforcement covered with a new shotcrete layer on the underside of the tunnel slab. In total 59.3 tons of new flexural reinforcement and 7199 concrete screws for strengthening the shear capacity of the girders will be used to ensure a ductile failure of the tunnel slab. The on-site work started in March 2019 and is expected to take two years to complete.</p>

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Weeksville was founded in 1838 by formerly enslaved persons and freedmen who sought to create a self-sustaining utopian community in Brooklyn, New York. Distinguished by its urbanity, size, and relative physical and economic stability, the community provided sanctuary for self-emancipated persons from Southern slave plantations, and for free Black people escaping the violence of New York City’s Draft Riots in 1863. The second largest African American community in the U.S. was absorbed by the forces of real estate development in New York City. After almost fifty years of community led persistence and vision, in 2014 the Weeksville Heritage Center (WHC) introduced a new Cultural Arts Building and interpretive landscape on the same campus as the original community. “Connecting to the Archive: Counter-Gentrification Tactics in Central Brooklyn,” strengthens community development activities as a counterforce to gentrification through several processes that center around the ongoing development of archival and oral history collections held by the Center. Through academic partnership with Pratt Institute in the Pratt Weeksville Archive students and faculty work together with the Center’s staff and community members on the ongoing archiving project, which seeks to support the Center’s efforts to preserve and add to the archive, provide access to, and interpret the archival microhistory of community development and documentation activities that led to the formation of the Society and its growth. Historic Black nineteenth century self-supporting communities can become a model for empowerment in twenty first century shrinking Black communities rendered apolitical and ahistorical and little hope for a future. Central Brooklyn is arguably the largest African American community in the U.S., with a population that is shrinking in numbers due to white gentrification and beset by the traumas caused by anti-Black racism, generational displacement and poor access to public services. To assist in this effort, the project engages with local residents in oral history and critical ethnography practices so as to decentered the privileged position of the ethnographer. Based on the multidimensional method of Edgar Morin and everyday life practitioners, the goal is to empower residents to utilize the archive through interviewing, self-documentation, storytelling, and appreciation of archival and oral history methodologies. The project connects the Center to its immediate community and the immediate community to the Center through the effort to document the memory and experience of the neighborhood in the past, present, and future, to engage with and expand the archival collections held at the Center so as to create a place of refuge, delight and individual and collective history as a counterforce to the forces of global neoliberalism that continue to degrade, marginalize and challenge BIPOC community building.

Cardona, Ignacio. "Another Path Towards Restorative Community Design". In 111th ACSA Annual Meeting Proceedings. ACSA Press, 2023. http://dx.doi.org/10.35483/acsa.am.111.54.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
In 1969, several publications and international conferences put citizens at the center of architecture and urban design. Robert Sommer discusses the influence of space on human behavior in his seminal book Personal Space. Edward T. Hall wrote the Hidden Dimension about the relevance of cultural perspective in characterizing the space surrounding people. The Dalandhui University of Strathclyde held the First Conference on Architectural Psychology hosted by David Canter, pleading for an architecture interwoven with participatory design. Among these examples, perhaps the most influential is A Ladder of Citizen Participation by Sherry Arnstein, which combines academia and activism, asking for complete and progressive citizen empowerment in design decision-making. In 1969, architecture began to strongly demand the expansion of the discipline to share the common good from a people-centered perspective. Fifty-three years later, the debate on orchestrating the integration of people’s needs persists. Architects design logic to shape the territory following technical needs that do not always find a foothold to include emergent social dynamics. The gap between technical needs and people’s everyday demands has contributed to consolidating inequalities that have already become structural. In the inquiry for transdisciplinary strategies to overlap these multiple needs in the design field, this research proposes the framework of Restorative Community Design (RCD) which includes three theoretical bodies: Restorative Justice, the Right to the City, and Participatory Design. First, Restorative Justice is a branch of criminal justice that seeks to bring together different stakeholders affected by wrongdoing; this theoretical framework aims to address needs and responsibilities and heal damage through the close relationships between various community members. Second, RCD is also based on the theory of the Right to the City, which posits that cities are environments that either allow or limit the development of the capabilities of their citizens and that networked access to the opportunities offered by the city is a fundamental variable to integrates citizen´s capabilities to the opportunities and resources that the city provides. Finally, Participatory Design merges the two previous approaches through a critical understanding of practices to promote community empowerment. This research proposes the working definition of Restorative Community Design by implementing a game technique called PATH (Participatory Architecture Towards Humanity). Specifically, the investigation systematizes the application of PATH in two specific case studies. The first one occurred in Petare (2015), the denser self-produced settlement -commonly called the informal city – in America, located in Caracas. The second experience happened in Flushing (2018), the most racially diverse borough in New York City. Researchers found historically disenfranchised communities in both cases, and Restorative Community Design appears as a conceptual and practical framework for people’s voice integration into the design processes. These implementations of PATHs towards Restorative Community Design discuss the difference between different forms of community engagement, specifically Multi and Trans-Engagement, as a tool to integrate community members in planning and architectural projects.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
How are we learning to collaborate and co-design with community stakeholders when traditional real-world engagement processes are not in sync with the requirements of semester schedules or could burden the communities we try to serve? What are the emerging techniques and pedagogical mechanisms that we can test and explore to allow for a learning environment that facilitates for urban design in action?Working with the Trust for Public Land (TPL) and a fictional Community School Yard project in East Cleveland, thepresented research is based on the long legacy of TPL’s program that pioneered a new model for environmentalleadership and community stewardship. Since 1996, the program transformed over 200 formerly paved schoolyards into community schoolyards in New York City alone. Today, TPL works across the nation and the model points at a future where community schoolyards could become standard practice, addressing the open space equity gab of our cities, and serving as excellent precedents for co-production and alliance building.This paper reflects on a seminar that implemented game mechanisms to introduce students to co-production strategies while designing a public space network with adjacent neighborhood communities.The paper introduces precedents and theories that investigate participatory design methods and shows how roleplays can help to stage real-world dynamics. The discussion includes design strategies that put the integration of game mechanisms at the project’s core and concludes with a reflection on a pedagogical framework exploring an emerging field around game scenarios, simulation games, and storytelling as an essential part of our disciplinary canon.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Integration of the Nintendo Wii Remote (Wiimote) with computers has been an innovation for open community developers as a video game device and beyond. The same qualities which have made the device popular among this community (i.e. cost, accessibility and open development) make it a powerful inexpensive interface device which can be used in virtual environments to support engineering analysis and design activities. Interface devices in engineering currently include data gloves, tactile input devices and high precision tracking systems which typically require significant financial investment. The Wiimote can be utilized to duplicate, at reduced, but in most cases acceptable standards, the combined capabilities of these traditional devices but at much lower cost. This paper presents background on the ongoing innovations of the open community of developers using the Wiimote and provides a knowledge base of the technology that can be applied to support various aspects of engineering. In addition various development approaches are discussed to provide potential developers with direction in their own Wiimote programming. As part of the method presentation, the implementation of the Wiimote at the New York State Center for Engineering Design and Industrial Innovation (NYSCEDII) is presented in terms of necessary hardware and software utilized to support interactive environments. The paper concludes with a presentation of current applications including the use of the Wiimote as a wireless input device for large system design exploration, a tracking system for head movement in dynamic simulations, visualization of consumer product interaction and tracking of an interactive Wii-glove. The applications represent initial development of what is expected to become a valuable tool for research and education in engineering.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
The United States Department of Energy’s Carlsbad Field Office (CBFO) is responsible for the successful management of transuranic radioactive waste (TRUW) in the United States. TRUW is a long-lived radioactive waste/material. CBFO’s responsibilities includes the operation of the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP), which is a deep geologic repository for the safe disposal of U.S. defense-related TRUW and is located 42 kilometers (km) east of Carlsbad, New Mexico. WIPP is the only deep-geological disposal site for long-lived radioactive waste that is operating in the world today. CBFO also manages the National Transuranic Waste Program (NTP), which oversees TRU waste management from generation to disposal. As of August 1, 2003, approximately 1890 shipments of waste have been safely transported to the WIPP, which has been operating since March 1999. Surface and subsurface facilities designed to facilitate the safe handling and disposal of TRU waste are located within the WIPP site. The underground waste disposal area is in a bedded salt formation at a depth of 650 meters (m). Approximately 176,000 m3 of TRU waste containing up to 17 kilograms of plutonium will be emplaced in disposal rooms 4 m high, 10 m wide and 91 m long. Magnesium oxide (MgO) backfill will be emplaced with the waste to control the actinide solubility and mobility in the disposal areas. Properties of the repository horizon have been investigated in an underground test facility excavated north of the waste disposal area, and in which seals, rock mechanics, hydrology, and simulated waste emplacement tests were conducted. Thus, in some areas of broad international interest, the CBFO has developed a leading expertise through its 25-years WIPP repository and TRU waste characterization activities. The CBFO’s main programmatic responsibilities during the disposal phase are to operate a safe and efficient TRU waste repository at the WIPP, to operate an effective system for management of TRU waste from generation to disposal, and to comply with applicable laws, regulations, and permits. This responsibility requires maintenance and upgrades to the current technologies for TRU waste operations, monitoring, and transportation. This responsibility also requires the maintenance of scientific capabilities for evaluating the performance of the WIPP repository. Every 5 years, WIPP must be recertified for operations by the regulator, the EPA. Currently, the CBFO is preparing for the 2004 recertification. The CBFO/WIPP has been designated by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) as an International Center of Excellence. The IAEA is working with CBFO, other designated centers of excellence, and other member states in the IAEA to foster collaborative training activities and experiments in order to address major radioactive waste disposal issues. As the only operating deep radioactive waste repository in the world today, CBFO/WIPP is an important participant in this IAEA initiative. In addition to participating in relevant and beneficial experiments, the CBFO is providing the international community convenient access to information by sponsoring and hosting symposia and workshops on relevant topics and by participation in international waste management organizations and topical meetings. The CBFO has agreed to exchange scientific information with foreign radioactive waste management organizations. These activities result in the cost-effective acquisition of scientific information in support of increased WIPP facility operational and post-closure assurance and reliability. It also demonstrates the CBFO’s intent and resolve to honor international commitments and obligations.

One of the biggest events in international political history at the end of the 20th century was end of the Cold War due to the dissolution of the Soviet Union. With the collapse of the Soviet Union in December 1991, the Cold War system, led by the US and the Soviet Union as the two main axes, disappeared into history, dramatically changing the international situation and creating new independent states in the international community. In the past, as the protagonist of the Silk Road civilization, it was a channel of trade and culture, linking the East and the West, but as members of the former Soviet Union, Central Asian countries whose importance and status were not well known have emerged on the international stage in the process of forming a new international order. After independence, Central Asia countries began to attract attention from the world as the rediscovery of the Silk Road, that is, the geopolitical importance of being the center of the Eurasian continent, and as a treasure trove of natural resources such as oil and gas increased.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
A growing number of states are launching community school initiatives to ensure family and community engagement, provide enriched and expanded learning, and offer integrated supports for students. This brief offers examples from the National Center for Community Schools and from New York, New Mexico, and California showing how technical assistance can build capacity through consultation, training, coaching, and knowledge building. These examples indicate the ways that states are designing technical assistance (TA) systems to support practitioners, the value of providing differentiated TA supports, and the impact of cross-sector partnerships on TA provision.
