Texto completo da fonteResumo:
This cross-sectional, descriptive study explored perspectives of discharge planners regarding transitions of hospitalized patients who are severely obese seeking discharge to a nursing home. Attention has been focused on care transitions regarding high hospital readmission rates, yet specific needs of patients who are severely obese have been largely overlooked. Ninety-seven (response rate 39.8%) discharge planners returned surveys addressing frequency of, and issues encountered when, arranging placements. Community and hospital characteristics were also collected. One third of the respondents from Pennsylvania and Arkansas reported inability to transfer patients; barriers included reimbursement, staffing, and equipment. Respondents perceiving nursing homes to have equipment concerns were nearly 7 times more likely to report patient size as a barrier ( p = .001). Given increasing obesity rates, health care delivery systems must be prepared to provide necessary resources and all levels of care, including transitions for hospitalized patients who are severely obese needing nursing home care post-discharge.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Abstract In this essay I argue for opening up South Asian historiography on the home to explore not just ideals of middle-class domesticity, but also the material goods and spaces of home lives. This helps to rethink class, as ideals of middle-class respectability were often worked out in buildings and through goods shared with lower classes, deploying caste hierarchies to articulate definitions of proper home life. At the same time, taking materials and spaces seriously allows attention to the role of men in shaping and experiencing homes, whether as designers, retailers, planners, or residents themselves. Drawing on the specific example of the iconic firm Kamdar Ltd., which created modern home interiors in mid-century Bombay, I argue that thinking through the materials of home allows attention to the global engagements of home life defined in class and caste terms, by men and women alike.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Holiday homes have been part of the tourism industry over a period of years, but there is little documented research regarding holiday home ownership, its value and impact in Namibia, therefore, the study is significant to this topic. The main aim behind this research study is to profile holiday homeowners and identify their motivation for purchasing these homes in Namibia. The results of the study focus on exploratory factor analysis which outlines four motivational factors and the correlation results to determine the demographic and psychological characteristics motivating the ownership of holiday homes. The study concluded that most holiday homes are owned by high income earners, who purchased these homes in coastal towns for the purpose of investment, income generation and recreation. The study thus recommends that these results be made available to policy planners and researchers in the local authorities and other stakeholders, in order to assist with the articulation of policies and the creation of a framework to monitor the sustainable growth of holiday home ownership that benefits the community.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to share the findings from a learning intervention aimed at facilitating more regular and effective collaboration across the planning and aging sectors in order to advance Livable Communities for All Ages (LCA). Design/methodology/approach A half-day summit that convened over 250 aging sector professionals and planners. Data from these conversations, as well as a pre-event survey, post-event evaluations, and a six-month post-event follow-up survey provide the findings for the discussion. Findings The results revealed that the participants increasingly recognized the value of cross-sector relationships to their work on LCA. Further, the success on current projects was highly attributed to the trust gained from a previous experience of aging and planning professionals working together. Research limitations/implications Researchers relied on a purposive sample of respondents already registered to attend the Livable Communities Summit, who were likely to be somewhat knowledgeable about the topic of age-friendly planning. While not generalizable to the broader professional fields of the aging and planning sectors, the results inform on the importance of cross-sector collaboration in the context of planning communities supportive of individuals across the lifespan. Practical implications Existing challenges to the local residents in a broad swath of areas including housing, transportation, social isolation, purpose and more, are exacerbated in a rapidly aging world that does not advance policies, practices, and built environments to make communities more livable for residents of all ages. Originality/value The intention of this research is to contribute to the limited existing literature on collaboration between professionals in the planning and aging fields and to stimulate the increased and improved cross-sector relationships.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
In the 1930s, upper-class residents of Bombay were bombarded with ideas and products intended to make their homes modern. Showrooms, exhibitions, advertisements, and design books all addressed a consuming public newly interested in “the art and comfort of the home.” As Abigail McGowan demonstrates in Domestic Modern: Redecorating Homes in Bombay in the 1930s, attempts to remake Indian homes were hardly new; from the late nineteenth century on, sanitary reformers, girls’ educators, and urban planners introduced new principles of home management and hygiene into domestic space. In 1930s Bombay, attention shifted from household practices to style—a distinctively modern look expressed through new architectural spaces and the latest consumer goods. Recent scholarship has explored new building styles and practices in interwar India; McGowan argues that new kinds of furnishings and decor were equally important in defining what “the modern” meant in the city in this period.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Planeringen av brukarnas insatser inom hemtjänsten i Luleå kommun har förändrats. Antalet planerare har minskats, deras arbetsuppgifter har utökats och blivit mer strukturerade. Utöver planeringen arbetar planerarna även med omvårdnad hos brukare. Arbetsfördelningen varierar mellan enheterna. Syftet med studien var att undersöka planerarnas arbetssituation och arbetstillfredsställelse, om arbetsfördelningen har inverkan på arbetstillfredsställelsen och om det finns utvecklingsområden för ökad tillfredsställelse. Dataunderlag har samlats in med en webbenkät baserad på mätinstrumentet Measure of Job Satisfaction. Därtill ett antal öppna och slutna frågor angående arbetssituation och arbetsfördelning. Enkäten skickades till 39 planerare med en svarsfrekvens på 61.5% ( n =24). Resultatet visar att arbetssituationen för planerarna varierar vad gäller uppgifter, tidfördelning och hur arbetet är strukturerat. Planerarna är tillfredsställda med förhållanden relaterade till personlig tillfredsställelse, professionellt stöd, framtidsutsikter och standard på arbetet, liksom den övergripande arbetstillfredsställelsen. Planerarna är varken tillfredsställda eller otillfredsställda med förhållanden relaterade till arbetsbörda, utbildningsmöjligheter samt ersättning och lön. Studien visar att arbetsfördelningen har viss inverkan på tillfredsställelsen. Den viktigaste slutsatsen som kan dras av studien är att planerarna har en övergripande arbetstillfredsställelse i dagsläget. Samtliga arbetsfaktorer är av värde att underhålla och utveckla, däremot finns anledning att särskilt se över faktorer som kan få inverkan ur ett kompetensförsörjningsperspektiv.Planning of the user’s contribution in the home care service in Luleå municipality has changed. The quantity of planners has decreased; their duties have increased and become more structured. In addition to planning, the planners also work with caring for the users. The distribution of labor varies between units. The purpose of this study was to survey the planners work situations and job satisfaction, if the distribution of labor has an impact on job satisfaction and if there are areas which can be developed for increased satisfaction. Data has been collected using a web survey based on the Measure of Job Satisfaction surveying instrument. A number of open and closed questions were constructed regarding the work situation and distribution of labor. The survey was sent to 39 planners with a response rate of 61.5% ( n =24). The results show that the work situation for the planners varies regarding their tasks, time distribution and how the work is structured. The planners are satisfied with conditions related to their personal satisfaction, professional support, prospects and work standards, as well as overall job satisfaction. The planners are neither satisfied nor unsatisfied with conditions related to their workload, educational opportunities as well as reimbursements and salaries. The study shows that the distribution of labor has a certain impact on satisfaction. The main conclusion that can be drawn from the study is that the planners experience overall job satisfaction at the present time. All work factors are of value to maintain and improve, however, there is reason to specifically oversee factors that may impact work satisfaction using a supply of competence perspective.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
xiii, 307 p.The midwifery model and the medical model constitute the two main bodies of knowledge and practice that characterize the way pregnancy and birth are viewed in the United States. The midwifery model emphasizes the normalcy of pregnancy and birth, while the medical model is characterized by a belief in the supremacy of technology over nature and in medical supervision and intervention during pregnancy and delivery. Although both models do espouse important information regarding pregnancy and birth and, at times, there is overlap in the practical application of the models, practitioners of the two models rarely interact with one another. The one situation where practitioners of these two models do come into contact is during home-to-hospital transports for planned home births. Through in-depth interviews with direct-entry midwives, mothers, obstetricians, and nurses, this dissertation explores what happens when practitioners of the two models are forced to interact during home-to-hospital transports in order to provide care for women and their babies. Building on Davis-Floyd's and Johnson and Davis-Floyd's work on home-to-hospital transport, interview data suggest that a series of professional and organizational level factors influence the interactions between obstetricians, direct-entry midwives, and nurses during transports. Findings indicate that care providers engage in emotion work as they navigate the disjuncture between home and hospital, managing their own feelings and the feelings of others during a home-to-hospital transport. Due to the lack of institutionalized protocols governing conduct during transports, practitioners of the two models of care are left to construct their own versions of protocols through micro-level interactions, which at particular times and among certain providers have the effect of transcending the boundaries that divide home and hospital. With the interaction that occurs during a home-to-hospital transport as the central focus, this dissertation provides insight into how the lack of integration between the more marginalized midwifery model and the dominant medical model of care in the U.S. affects care providers and laboring/birthing women during transport situations.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Background: Historically, the focus of the UK and international research exploring planned home birth decision making has been largely focused on understanding the experiences of women who decide to birth at home. As a result of high-profile research that suggests that non-OU birth locations are safe for low risk women, there has been a recent shift in focus resulting in research studies that aim to increase the rates of planned home birth, or more often the rates of all non-obstetric unit birth within the UK. However, despite this increased level of attention, the rate of home birth remains stubbornly low. Whilst there is some research to indicate why this might be the case, research that sheds a new light on the issue, and that develops an evidence base for new interventions is required. This thesis illuminates the factors that need to be considered in order to increase women’s abilities to make an informed decision about planned birth. Methodology: A pragmatic approach, using mixed methods, was used to explore the current way that we offer planned home birth to maternity service users, and to ultimately make suggestions about how this could be improved. The following studies have been undertaken: Study 1: Initial exploratory study: The case notes of one hundred and sixty nine women, from one health board and who had planned to birth at home, were audited. Non-participant observation of birth planning meetings at thirty-six weeks gestation were undertaken with seven community midwife and low-risk women dyads. These were followed by individual semi-structured interviews with the participants. Study 2: Scoping review: Qualitative and quantitative research, and non-research based literature, were analysed to produce a qualitative review of planned home birth decision making. Study 3: Active offer of planned home birth concept analysis The findings of the initial exploratory study and the scoping review, in addition to active offer literature that is predominantly applied to support the provision of services within minority official languages, were used to create an active offer of planned home birth. Study 4: Workshop study testing the findings of the concept analysis Narrative based exercises were used to explore the concept analysis findings with twenty previous service users who had birthed at home, nine previous service users who had chosen an institutional birth, and fourteen community midwives. Findings: Women will either take a ‘passive’ or ‘active’ approach to the offer of planned home birth, with a passive approach likely where no motivation for an active approach has been provided. Where a woman takes a passive approach, her ability to make an informed decision about planned home birth will depend on an active offer being made by her midwife. This will be most effective when it is supported by a midwife’s employing organisation. The findings of this thesis suggest that a two stage active offer of planned home birth (AOPHB) process, consisting of ‘Creating the conditions’ and ‘Positive reinforcement’ stages, can be used to underpin the offer of planned home birth. Discussion: There has previously been minimal understanding of how to facilitate the home birth decision making process, and a passive offer is routinely provided to women in the UK. The proposed two-stage AOPHB process provides a structured way for midwives to underpin their offer to women, in order that an increased percentage of women are able to make an informed decision about home birth and/or decide to birth at home. Where midwives apply the AOPHB, women who may take a passive approach could be ‘activated’ to engage in home birth decision making. A pilot intervention has been drafted to implement the AOPHB within clinical practice. The intervention provides support for the implementation of the two-stage AOPHB process through the use of individual components focused on midwives and their employing organisation; student midwives; and women, and their significant others. Implications: This thesis has contributed to the developing knowledge base about planned home birth decision making. The application of active offer theory to the offer of planned home birth has been undertaken for the first time, and this has generated a new and useful perspective on this area of midwifery practice. The resultant two-stage AOPHB process has the potential for developing midwifery practice in terms of supporting midwives to understand and facilitate women’s decision making around home birth, providing a flexible tool that can be used in clinical practice. This is the first approach that has been developed with the aim of increasing the ability of women to make an informed decision about whether they wish to birth at home. Additionally, the pilot AOPHB intervention has implications around the understanding of how employing organisations can best support midwives in this aspect of their role, and developing how student midwives are educated about offering home birth to women.

Hemförlossningar i Sverige 1992-2005. Förlossningsutfall och kvinnors erfarenheter.Detta är den första nationella undersökningen av planerade hemförlossningar i Sverige. Istudierna har vi avsett att studera kvinnor som fött eller planerat att föda barn hemma underperioden 1/1 1992 till och med 30/6 2005.Kvinnor som födde barn hemma skiljde sig från kvinnor som födde barn på sjukhus i vissaavseenden (Studie I). Data från det svenska medicinska födelseregistret för perioden 1992 till2001, för 352 kvinnor som fött utanför sjukhus jämfördes med data från 1760 kvinnor som föttpå sjukhus. Kvinnorna som fött utanför sjukhus födde fler barn, hade högre utbildningsnivåmen en lägre sammanlagd familjeinkomst och de yrkesarbetade i mindre omfattning jämförtmed kvinnor som födde barn på sjukhus. Kvinnorna som fött barn utanför sjukhus var oftarefödda i ett annat europeiskt land än Sverige men mer sällan utanför Europa. Förekomsten avhemförlossningar i Sverige baserat på registerkod ”född utanför sjukhus” var 0.38 per tusenfödslar.Genom barnmorskor som bistår hemförlossningar, annonsering och via en intresseförening fördem som vill föda hemma, identifierades 757 kvinnor med sammanlagt 1045 planeradehemförlossningar under perioden 1/1 1992 till 30/6 2005. Av de tillfrågade kvinnorna svarade99 procent att de ville delta i studien. Data insamlades genom frågeformulär. Totalt 100 av detillfrågade kvinnorna med sammanlagt 141 planerade hemförlossningar återfanns inte i detmedicinska födelseregistret. Förekomsten av planerade hemförlossningar baserat på data förkvinnor som identifierats via hemförlossningsbarnmorskor och annonsering, var 0.95 per tusenfödslar. Förekomsten av planerade hemförlossningar baserat på registerdata för dessa kvinnorvar 0.85 per tusen födslar. Överföring till sjukhus under eller direkt efter förlossningen skeddevid 12.5 procent av de planerade hemförlossningarna (studie II). De vanligaste orsakerna tillöverföringen var långsam progress (46%) samt att barnmorskan inte kunde komma närförlossningen hade startat (14%). Var fjärde förstföderska avslutade sin planeradehemförlossning på sjukhus och den vanligaste orsaken för överföring bland förstföderskor varatt en annan barnmorska än den kvinnan besökt för vård under graviditeten kom för att biståförlossningen. Faktorer som påverkade överföring hos omföderskor var att tidigare hagenomgått kejsarsnitt och för både förstföderskor och omföderskor att graviditeten varöverburen.Data från det svenska medicinska födelseregistret jämfördes för 897 förlossningar identifieradegenom datainsamlingen till studie II och 11 341 sjukhusförlossningar (kontrollgrupp). Kriterietför urval av kontrollgruppen var enkelbörd i graviditetsvecka 37 - 42 samt att förlossningenstartat spontant. Kvinnor som planerat att föda hemma födde oftare spontant vaginalt och hademer sällan allvarliga bristningar i underlivet efter förlossningen (studie III). Risker i sambandmed valet av förlossningsplats hade övervägts av tre fjärdedelar av kvinnorna (studie IV).Genom egen förberedelse, samtal främst med sin partner och hemförlossningsbarnmorskan,hanterade kvinnorna tankar om att de själva eller deras barn skulle kunna skadas eller dö vidförlossningen. Kvinnorna undvek att diskutera risker med personal inom den konventionellavården.Konklusioner: I Sverige, under åren 1992 – 2005, planerade omkring 100 kvinnor att föda barni hemmet varje år. En fjärdedel av förstföderskorna avslutade sin planerade hemförlossning påsjukhus och den totala förekomsten av överföringar var 12,5 procent. Kvinnorna hade övervägtrisker med en hemförlossning men undvek att diskutera dem med personal inom sjukvården.Den neonatala mortaliteten bland nyfödda vid planerad hemförlossning var 2,2 per tusen inomfyra veckor efter förlossningen jämfört med 0,6 per tusen i sjukhusgruppen. Kvinnor somplanerade en hemförlossning hade oftare en spontan vaginal förlossning med färre allvarligabristningar i underlivet efter förlossningen jämfört med kvinnor som födde på sjukhus.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Sammanfattning: Bakgrund: för många pappor kan det vara en av livets största och bästa stund att närvara vid när deras barn föds. Det finns studier som beskriver pappors upplevelse av sjukhusförlossning, däremot finns det få studier som beskriver pappors upplevelse av planerad hemförlossning. Syftet med den här studien är att beskriva pappans upplevelser och erfarenheter av planerad hemförlossning. Metod: i denna studie medverkar 105 pappor från de nordiska länderna som har deltagit i planerad hemförlossning mellan 2009-2011. Materialet från en öppen enkätfråga analyserades med hjälp av deduktiv ansats. Den öppna frågan löd ”beskriv gärna förlossningen med egna ord”. Resultat: papporna upplevde den planerade hemförlossningen som lugn och säker, mycket tack vare den professionella barnmorskan och den välbekanta miljön. Att få vara hemma med sin partner och om så önskades, sin familj var högt skattat. Födelseprocessen hemma beskrevs av papporna som att ”vi gjorde det tillsammans” och ”det var vår egen förlossning”. Papporna uttryckte delaktighet i förlossningsflödet. De kände också att de fick ett barn och var en del av en vacker förlossning full av kärlek. Konklusion: att välkomna ett barn hemma i en lugn miljö där paret känner sig trygga och ostörda, kan underlätta en positiv och meningsfull förlossningsupplevelse.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Background: In Sweden and Norway planned home birth is not included in the health care system. In Denmark women with expected low risk birth have the right to choose home birth. Registrations of home births in the Nordic countries are not completed and women’s experiences of planned home birth in Scandinavian context are not earlier described.Objective: The aim of this study was to describe women’s experiences of planned home birth in the Scandinavian countries.Design: Inductive content analysis. Fifty-three Scandinavian women who have experienced planned home birth have replied an open question in a questionnaire. Findings: In the analysis five categories and twelve subcategories emerged. The categories were, to feel secure, experiences of support, being in control, harmony and insecurity. The women felt secure and calm in their own homes. They felt being in control, secure, support and trust in the midwife, relatives and the own body. What worried the women most in presence of the delivery was that the midwife should not be present. Keywords: Home birth, experiences, women.

Includes bibliographical references (pages 103-107).
This thesis examines the transition of a vessel from the open ocean, where collisions are rare, to a high risk and heavy traffic area such as a Traffic Separation Scheme (TSS). Previous autonomy approaches generally view path planning and collision avoidance as two separate functions, i.e. a vessel will follow the planned path until conditions are met for collision avoidance algorithms to take over. Here an intermediate phase is proposed with the goal of adjusting the time of arrival to a high vessel density area so that the risk of collision is reduced. A general algorithm that calculates maximum future traffic density for all choices in the speed domain is proposed and implemented as a MOOS-IvP behavior. This behavior gives the vessel awareness of future collision risks and aids the collision avoidance process. This new approach improves the safety of the vessel by reducing the number of risky encounters that will likely require the vessel to maneuver for safety.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
The aims of this study were to describe the childbirth preferences of nulliparous women in early pregnancy and to develop a model of the predictors of those preferences. Participants were recruited with Facebook advertisements and data were collected from 344 women via online survey. Predictors were measured using the Utah Test for the Childbearing Year. Predictors of childbirth preferences (type of birth care provider, birth setting, mode of delivery, and use/avoidance of pain medication) were tested using structural equation modeling. Conventional content analysis was employed to analyze women’s reasons for selecting the type of provider and setting they expected for their delivery. Although the majority of respondents preferred physicians and hospital birth, the proportions of women who preferred midwifery care and planned home birth were higher than currently access those types of care in the U.S. More respondents preferred to use pain medication than to avoid it. Over 95% of respondents preferred vaginal delivery. Women who had an internal locus of control and perceived their childbearing role to be one of active participation were more likely than women who saw their role as a passive one to prefer midwifery care, home birth, vaginal delivery, and to avoid pain medication. Women who saw the provider’s role as dominant to their own were more likely to prefer physicians and hospital birth than those who viewed the provider’s role as a collaborative one. The more fearful/painful women expected birth to be, the more likely they were to prefer cesarean delivery.

AbstractFinding reliable and safe accommodation is a key obstacle to students’ international mobility. While the European Commission plans a tri-fold increase of Erasmus+ participants by 2027, allowing international students to get suitable accommodation remains one of the main difficulties encountered during the mobility experience. European Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) are unable to cover the majority of student accommodation demand. Indeed, as stated by Eurostudent VII Report, only 17% of students in Europe find home abroad in student accommodation facilities. Moreover, in accordance with the Erasmus+ Impact Study 2019, 23% of the students involved in the survey considered very important to have support in finding accommodation abroad during mobility along with insurance and other practical aspects. This contribution explores the first results of the European project HOME (Home of Mobile Europeans). The project, currently ongoing, is funded by the 2019 Key Action 2 Erasmus+ call and developed by six European partners. According to the digital transition planned by the Erasmus+ Programme, HOME supports EU mobility by providing students and trainees with a digitalized infrastructure that integrates the search for accommodation within existing European digital mobility initiatives, such as the Erasmus+ App. Moreover the project defines a set of living “quality labels” to increase the transparency of information about accommodation offer at the European level. Furthermore, educational resources and a training toolkit will be available, in the HOME website, to spread and replicate the project’s learnings results. Once operational, HOME will represent an essential digital solution for a more accessible and quality student accommodation offer.

AbstractIn this chapter the editors reflect on the thematic scope of this publication, situating it in a wider background of urban agriculture research. They claim that to leverage its greatest impact, opportunities to engage in urban cultivation should be widely accessible to all segments of urban population, close to everyone’s home. Worldwide, due to the scarcity of and high costs of land in dense urban inner-city areas, integrating urban agriculture in already existing and planned public spaces seems like the most feasible strategy to achieve this objective. This book wants to support this process by providing theoretical and practical insights on the integration of urban agriculture in public space development – addressing its well-being impacts, design, organization, educational contexts, and urban planning aspects.

AbstractThis edited book is the outcome of a conference that was planned to take place in Lisbon at the Centro de Filosofia das Ciências (CFCUL) of the Faculdade de Ciências da Universidade de Lisboa. It was originally organized in the usual on-site form to which we were accustomed before the start of the Covid pandemic. The conference was postponed many times, with the hope to hold it on-site, to no avail. After many postponements, to our disappointment, the conference had unfortunately to be organized in a purely online form between 14th and 15th of October in 2021. The only advantage of all this is that we saved public money.

Abstract For much of the 1880s, Howard remained dissatisfied and restless. Many of his concerns were particular to his own situation and personality, while others were of a more general nature in this decade of depression and social friction. And at least some of these reflected an unhappiness felt by many with the circumstances of daily life in a city becoming a modern sprawling commercial metropolis of great complexity with the resultant human strain. A frequent moving about from one residence to another reflected an inability to find a home within his means that met his expectations. Howard’s disappointments with life in London were doubtlessly shared by others who crowded into Farringdon Hall in February 1893, intent on a social experiment that promised to better their lot.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Ecosystem services are linked to economic and/or social costs to guide policy decision-making for urban growth and to integrate impacts on the natural environment in decision-making. Valuing urban nature is complicated by the mix of social, environmental and economic benefits from nature and the competing interests among ecosystem users. Payments for urban ecosystem services is a means of acknowledging economic worth and motivations for improving ecosystem services. Payments typically consider the different motivations of the public and private beneficiaries and providers for increasing services, such as a guarantee of no loss of income when switching management practices, increased profit when selling a private home, or reduced maintenance costs in public park.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Transportation problems seem to offer no end of interesting policy wrinkles and technical challenges, but despite the promise of each new technological innovation, financial windfall, and dazzling social science breakthrough, planners have not fared well. Air pollution, fuel, and traffic congestion costs continue to mount to where the benefits of making any headway appear substantial. Yet as more freeway lanes are dedicated to car-poolers and tollways, and new transit systems continue to soak up many billions of dollars, getting people to “improve” their driving behavior remains the ultimate planning brick wall. Increasing evidence suggests that transportation demand management schemes have extremely limited effectiveness, in the sense that only marginal and perhaps even cost-ineffective changes can be expected from most of the tools applied thus far. One view is that the planner’s arsenal of transportation demand management tools has proven largely ineffective in dealing with traffic congestion especially. The somewhat more optimistic account of some planners and architects is that attention has been focused on symptoms rather than the disease itself. As discussed in chapter 1, the vanguard of such urban design schools as the New Urbanism, Neotraditional planning, and transit-oriented development collectively argue that the way we organize space has profound implications not only for traffic patterns but perhaps also for our sense of self and modern civilization as a whole. Prominent urban designers, planners, and political leaders forcefully claim that these development strategies will, among other things, improve traffic conditions, reduce home prices, and generally increase the quality of residential life. Of course, this is just talk. As bold and stirring as these claims may be, they are mainly meant to get us thinking afresh about where and how improvements can be made—not as cold hard facts. Most transportation planners probably recognize that blanket statements of this nature are overly simplistic. Even the architects and planners promoting these ideas are usually careful to emphasize the many ingredients necessary to obtain desired results: the straightening of streets to open the local network, the calming of traffic, the better integration of land uses and densities, and so on.

Abstract Those who plan, provide, receive, or pay for health services face an incessant barrage of questions such as the following. l Should clinicians check the blood pressure of each adult who walks into their offices? Should planners launch a scoliosis screening programme in secondary schools? Should individuals be encouraged to request annual check-ups? Should local health departments free scarce nursing personnel from well-baby clinics so that they can carry out home visits on lapsed hypertensives?

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Around the world, resources have been devoted to the development of national strategy documents responding to an increasing incidence of dementia. A review of diverse national dementia plans demonstrates similarity in the framing of approaches to addressing dementia within the population. Key to all these strategies is the encouragement to seek early diagnosis of the disease so that treatment can begin early and health care organizations can gain advance warning of future needs for service delivery. This strategic direction comes to constitute the ‘ideal program’ in dementia care planning. Discussions with key informants responsible for planning service delivery for people living with dementia suggest that significant numbers of people fail to seek early diagnosis. Families often accommodate changes in behaviour of family members, making small changes to everyday plans and routines that result in reducing the impact of changes in behaviour. While the strategy to obtain ‘early diagnosis’ may not often translate into everyday practice, planners and providers engage in sophisticated and quite singular ‘practices of identification’ to enable system ‘navigation’ even at later stages of disease progression to attempt support for people living with dementia.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
One of the most pressing problems confronting architects and planners involves the erosion of urban fabric in American cities and small towns. Many factors have contributed to the physical and economic decline of previously healthy cities since the end of World War 11. Federal tax policies involving home mortgage deduction, FHA loan programs, and highway policy and subsidies have all conspired to promote suburban sprawl and a concurrent abandonment of city centers by the middle class. Nowhere has the impact of this problem been felt more seriously than in the area of housing. The legacy of the late 1950's and 1960's "urban renewal" has decimated vast tracts of land. In many areas of many cities, lower and middle income housing stock has been eliminated, often leaving a wasteland of parking in its place.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Travel on intercity passenger rail is growing in popularity across the U.S. Amtrak, the nation’s intercity passenger rail operator, reported a steady growth in ridership over the last decade; for the 12-month period ending in September 2011, Amtrak carried more than 30 million passengers, a first in the company’s 40-year history. This growth has resulted in widespread interest in developing new intercity passenger rail services or improving existing services with new station facilities and other investments. An issue of interest to the rail planning and policy community revolves around station access patterns, and there are many questions that remain unanswered on this subject. For this paper, these questions include: What is the mode share for passenger trips to and from the rail station? How far do passengers travel to access rail services? Has the market area for intercity passenger rail expanded with increasing ridership, or has the market area remained unchanged during this recent period of growth? Using data obtained from on-board surveys of existing Amtrak passengers in Michigan and Wisconsin, USA, this paper examines the evolving nature of rail passenger station access patterns over the last decade. Specifically, patterns in the overall station access trip mode split, the passengers’ self-reported travel time to and from the rail station, and the spatial distribution of passenger home residential zip codes relative to the rail station are analyzed. Analysis shows that 50 percent of rail passengers reside between 8 and 20 miles from a rail station, depending on the route, and that the market area for selected routes has expanded in recent years. Rail planners can use the findings from this paper to develop new station facility designs or to correct issues that may be present at existing stations. The findings of this paper can also be used to guide the deployment of marketing and promotion of rail services to residents within the “catchment area” of a station.

More than 680 million people live in low-lying coastal areas susceptible to climate change and flooding (IPCC 2019). The Jean and Zohmah Charlot House is a historic residence in Honolulu, located in a flood-prone neighborhood, that provides a powerful case study on preservation, planning, hazard mitigation, retrofitting and adaptive design of historic structures. The research, learning and engagement among diverse stakeholders supports resilient placemaking and preservation of treasured community assets. The home is listed on National and State registries of historic properties. The Historic Hawaiʻi Foundation partnered with the University of Hawai‘i (UH) to identify research methods for addressing climate resilience and develop and test engagement strategies, which included virtual workshops to develop a hazard mitigation plan for the property. An interdisciplinary team of faculty members, professionals, and students: i) identified hazards; ii) documented site vulnerabilities; iii) mapped and analyzed hazards and mitigation strategies; iv) reviewed literature and evaluated mitigations; v) engaged subject matter experts to support assessment of strategies; vi) developed and shared alternatives that were compiled and disseminated among stakeholders. The research team forged new relationships by including subject matter experts from landscape architecture, planning, emergency management, engineering, insurance, law and environmental sciences.Participants joined in three 1.5 hour virtual workshops to identify hazards, mitigation strategies, and review plans. Technologies including 360 degree imagery and ArcGIS StoryMap enhanced the virtual workshop. Based on feedback from the workshops, the Disaster Mitigation Plan illustrates, annotates, and ranks strategies for risk reduction and future policy and research needs. This university-led collaboration is a model for engaging planners, architects, landscape architects, preservationists, engineers, lawyers, and insurance agents on the challenges of preservation and hazard risk reduction. The rapid, three-part planning process using all-virtual, all-volunteer participants provides a low cost approach for subject matter expert engagement and focused knowledge-sharing on resilience strategies that can be applied and implemented for other endangered properties and scaled up to address broader neighborhood, watershed, and regional impacts from climate change and extreme events.

This paper has been developed in the IEA SHC Task 61 Integrated Solutions for Daylighting and Electric Lighting scope. Task 61 aims at developing and testing strategies and solutions combining daylighting, electric lighting, and the most suitable control systems. Some of the planned activities, especially in the Subtask A: User perspective and requirements, were not possible due to the Coronavirus pandemic restrictions. On the other side, new challenges emerged, for example, the migration of workplaces to homes. It occurred both for professionals and students, and the lighting conditions in these new improvised workplaces are unknown. In this context, the article presents the part of the home office survey aiming to understand lighting conditions for students in home offices in different countries: Brazil, Italy, Japan, Columbia, Denmark, and Poland. The paper also seeks to define the current limitations of a home office in providing a resilient visual environment.

In this paper we present the development of an evidence-based search planner for a mobile assistive robot to autonomously search for a dynamic person in a multi-room home environment in order to provide assistance. We solve the dynamic person search problem by uniquely considering evidence of household objects along with a user spatial-temporal model to increase the probability of finding the user. Our planner utilizes a Partially Observable Markov Decision Process (POMDP) to plan optimal robot search paths in the environment as the user and evidence locations are partially observable. Extensive simulated experiments in a home environment were conducted to compare our proposed evidence-based search approach with 1) a search technique without prior user information, and 2) a search technique that only uses a user model. The results show that our proposed search technique has higher success rates for finding the user and is more robust to the dynamic behaviors of the user.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
At present, more than 50% of children live in big cities. But with the increasing number of motor vehicles and shrinking public spaces , children have less and less opportunities for outdoor activities, resulting in obesity and sub-health problems. Therefore, it is very important to build children-friendly public spaces in metropolis. This study takes the Shanghai,china as an example.Firstly,through questionnaires,it is found that ensuring the safe movement of children and inspiring their spontaneous activities are key points to build children-friendly public spaces. Meanwhile, The public spaces near the home are the most used environment by children. Therefore, open spaces in metropolis areas need to be planned carefully for children near their homes. Then it is way much better to make sure children's places of daily life, such as homes, schools, green spaces, sports venues and so on, can be connected in a safe path. Secondly, for building the safe path for children ,the safety of each spot along the path is analyzed by SP method, which is a mathematical algorithm , in order to find the risk factors and to avoid them in the future. Then we establish the action plan of "line space + point space" to build the children-friendly urban public space system. Line space refers to meeting the basic safety space needs of children through the improvement of the routes to school, including reducing the impact of motor vehicles, safe road facilities, and enhancing road lighting system. "Point space" refers to the promotion of children's outdoor activities through the arrangement of multi-level outdoor children's playgrounds and green spaces, including safe green parks, security platforms and so on. Finally, it is hoped that the "Safety Line Space + Interesting Point Space" plan will establish a safe and inspiring path for children to travel, linking home, school, green space and sports venues, which they use mostly in their daily life. Then we can ensure the safe movement of children and inspire children's spontaneous games in big cities for a children-friendly goal

Wang, Chih-Hao, e Na Chen. Does California High-Speed Rail Promote Accessibility for Station Cities?: Case Study of Fresno and Merced. Mineta Transportation Institute, maio de 2024. http://dx.doi.org/10.31979/mti.2024.2358.
Texto completo da fonteResumo:
California High-Speed Rail (CHSR) will largely change transportation cost across the state after it starts operating. Past studies show that only Fresno and Merced among station cities in the Central Valley would attract more future activities with the CHSR. The establishment of active CHSR also implies a new daily living sphere for all the station cities, and, therefore, accessibility to work and residential amenities should be reviewed to inform planners of future land-use and transportation developments. A research framework has been developed better to understand the impact of CHSR on job and amenity accessibility by driving, transit, and walking in Fresno and Merced. The results show the opportunity cost of accessibility for using CHSR for a 25-minute ride from Fresno to Merced and vice versa. The study then compares the original accessibility reached in the home city within 45 minutes and the accessibility reached from the station in the other city within the remaining time after arriving at the station from home. A t-test was also used to examine whether the newly accessible jobs and amenities are significantly better with the CHSR. Finally, these results were mapped in contours showing equal accessibility before and after the start of CHSR operation for all blog groups in the two cities. This study not only adds to the literature on the impact of high-speed-rails on accessibility to jobs and amenities, but also contributes to the practice of public transit and car-sharing for better accessibility by providing planning information through the mapping of the results.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Many students struggle with mathematics in late elementary school, particularly on the topic of fractions. In a best evidence syntheses of research on increasing achievement in elementary school mathematics, Pelligrini et al. (2018) highlighted tutoring as a way to help students. Online tutoring is attractive because costs may be lower and logistics easier than with face-to-face tutoring. Cignition developed an approach that combines online 1:1 tutoring with a fractions game, called FogStone Isle. The game provides students with additional learning opportunities and provides tutors with information that they can use to plan tutoring sessions. A randomized controlled trial investigated the research question: Do students who participate in online tutoring and a related mathematical game learn more about fractions than students who only have access to the game? Participants were 144 students from four schools, all serving low-income students with low prior mathematics achievement. In the Treatment condition, students received 20-25 minute tutoring sessions twice per week for an average of 18 sessions and also played the FogStone Isle game. In the Control condition, students had access to the game, but did not play it often. Control students did not receive tutoring. Students were randomly assigned to condition after being matched on pre-test scores. The same diagnostic assessment was used as a pre-test and as a post-test. The planned analysis looked for differences in gain scores ( post-test minus pre-test scores) between conditions. We conducted a t-test on the aggregate gain scores, comparing conditions; the results were statistically significant (t = 4.0545, df = 132.66, p-value < .001). To determine an effect size, we treated each site as a study in a meta-analysis. Using gain scores, the effect size was g=+.66. A more sophisticated treatment of the pooled standard deviation resulted in a corrected effect size of g=.46 with a 95% confidence interval of [+.23,+.70]. Students who received online tutoring and played the related Fog Stone Isle game learned more; our research found the approach to be efficacious. The Pelligrini et al. (2018) meta-analysis of elementary math tutoring programs found g = .26 and was based largely on face-to-face tutoring studies. Thus, this study compares favorably to prior research on face-to-face mathematics tutoring with elementary students. Limitations are discussed; in particular, this is an initial study of an intervention under development. Effects could increase or decrease as development continues and the program scales. Although this study was planned long before the current pandemic, results are particularly timely now that many students are at home under shelter-in-place orders due to COVID-19. The approach taken here is feasible for students at home, with tutors supporting them from a distance. It is also feasible in many other situations where equity could be addressed directly by supporting students via online tutors.
