Sanz, Alberto. "Torres Blancas: a Vertical Garden City." Housing for All, no. 65 (2021): 108–13. http://dx.doi.org/10.52200/65.a.r36xto0h.
Full textAbstract:
Torres Blancas, the building designed by Francisco Javier Sáenz de Oíza for the Huarte company, was built between 1964 and 1972. Its powerful sculptural form, the expressive use of bare concrete and its experimental nature make it an iconic example of Madrid’s architecture. Proposed as a vertical city with an organic emphasis, Torres Blancas is not the usual stack of flats, but a residential complex of independent housing units with garden terraces and the amenities of a small community. This building thus combines Le Corbusier’s unités d’habitation and Frank Lloyd Wright’s towers.

The steel city of Jamshedpur originated in a small company town in the backwaters of eastern India as a new experiment in urbanism in 1907. The article critically examines its evolution to trace the influence of the most significant twentieth century town planning ideas—the garden city and the neighborhood unit—on the industrial township. A reevaluation of the planning reports of 1911, 1920, 1936, and 1944–45 reveals the reworking and adaptation of twentieth century modern urban planning and the limited success it achieved in India. The planning ideals included open green spaces of the garden city as an antidote to industrialization, urban infrastructure adapted to local site conditions, neighborhood units self-sufficient in civic amenities, and street hierarchy as a means of traffic segregation. Regionalization of global planning ideals as well as the tension between planned development and organic growth is evident in the narrative of Jamshedpur evolving from a company town to industrial city to the present day urban agglomeration

Jakarta is experiencing a favourite residential growth due to the high level of urban migration to Indonesia’s capital. Therefore, PT CD, through its subsidiary, PT CMG, KSO, tries to fulfill the increasing demand of residential housing by developing a ± 1 ha of land in the West of Jakarta. The development is called the Apartement Citra Living project. This paper is developed to determine the feasibility of the project through cash flow sensitivity analysis. There are 2 (two) assumptions used, which are : the normal, and optimistic assumptions. These assumptions are tested through 4 (four) calculation methods: Payback Period, Net Present Value (NPV), Internal Rate of Return (IRR) and Profitability Index (PI). The results of the sensitivity analysis are as follows Payback periods for the project are 8 months for normal and, 3 months for optimistic; The NPV is positive for all assumptions; The IRR for the normal and optimistic assumptions are higher than the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) 10%. The PI for normal and optimistic assumptions are more than 1 (one). So, the project is feasible. Therefore, based on the results of the sensitivity analysis of the project’s cash flow, it is concluded that the Apartement Citra Living project is a profitable business decision. To increase profitability level, the company should try to find other financing alternatives to lower the cost of capital.

ABSTRACT:In the Wilhelmine era (1871–1918) the Krupp steel company developed into Germany's largest industrial establishment and most famous armaments manufacturer. While the firm further cultivated its reputation as ‘Cannon Kings’, it claimed to be a leader in an entirely different area: the provision of housing. Extensively marketed through company publications, displays at international exhibitions and its Besucherpolitik (visitor policy), Krupp's housing developments in Essen generated considerable domestic and international interest. During a period when the housing question increasingly entered the political realm, high-profile individuals such as Kurt Eisner, Hannes Meyer and Alfred von Tirpitz all passionately expressed their views on Krupp's housing developments. This article assesses their historically neglected first-hand observations against the quantitative and qualitative housing achievements of the steel giant.

Cienfuegos Botanical Garden is the oldest functioning botanical institution of Cuba. It was established originally as a joint endeavor between sugar magnate Edwin F. Atkins and Harvard University in 1901. Between 1925 and 1934, the research yacht Utowana performed ample plant germplasm collections for the USDA in the New and Old World as well as archeological and zoological surveys in the Neotropics. The botanical expeditions were conducted mostly, under the leadership of David Fairchild. In this contribution we review to what extent Utowana expeditions and collections were instrumental in building the living collections of Cienfuegos Botanical Garden. A total of 278 accessions (comprising 254 species) were introduced into this garden directly or indirectly through these expeditions. Currently 57 of these species (132 individuals) are still part of its living collections. Interestingly, five of the Caribbean expeditions of this research yacht carried plant material between the Cienfuegos Botanical Garden and two other botanic gardens that were operated by US entities, namely the Lancetilla Botanical Garden in Honduras (owned by the United Fruit Company) and the Summit Gardens in Panama City (managed by the Panama Canal governmental agency). Our study also shows that plant material collected during Utowana expeditions was sent from Old World and Caribbean Island botanic gardens to Cienfuegos Botanical Garden. Thomas Barbour, director of this botanical institution between 1927 and 1946 joined four of these plant hunting endeavors. He provided strong support for the growing of the Cienfuegos Botanical Garden living collections with plant material collected during Utowana expeditions.

The article is devoted to the buildings of the hospital town
an implemented fragment of one of the most famous town planning projects of early 20th century. «The first Garden City in Russia» at Prozorovka (now Kratovo), which was to include not only the hospital town, but a set of other major public buildings, was designed by civil engineer V. N. Semyonov, by order of the Board of Directors of Joint-stock company of the Moscow-Kazan Railway for this company employees. The initiator of the project was the Chairman of The Board of Directors N.K. von Meck. The article on base on a wide range of archival sources, recreates the history of designing the hospital town in 1912-1913 and contains previously unknown facts and materials. Among these materials is the original project of the hospital town (primary drawings of this project published in the article the first time) and the discussions papiers of the project in the Ministry of Railways in 1913. It also provides information about the construction process of the buildings of the hospital town in 1915-1918. For the first time on archival documents is fixed the condition of buildings at the time of completion of the first constructions phase in 1918. Special attention is paid to the hospital complex fate in 1924-1930, when the buildings were rebuilt and adapted for accommodation of the tuberculosis sanatorium of Cusstrah No. 1. The revealed papiers make it possible to understand how during completing of the buildings in the second half of the 1920s, there preserves neoclassical facades, designed by architect A.I. Tamanov (Tamanyan) in 1913.

A number of new towns were created in northern Paraná State, Brazil, by the British company Parana Plantations as part of a colonization scheme in the first half of the twentieth century. The urban landscapes created by these towns are distinct from those associated more generally with the colonization of Brazil. However, there has been no extended analysis of their origin, organization, conformation and impact. Drawing on contemporary sources, this task is attempted here. Set within a broader context, a systematic colonization is revealed in relation to its British colonial background. The layouts of the towns founded by Parana Plantations show many features of a British colonial town model. The colonization scheme reflects some of the garden city tenets that were circulating widely in the colonial world.

Transportation network companies (TNCs) provide vehicle-for-hire services. They are distinguished from taxis primarily by the presumption that vehicles are privately owned by drivers. Unlike taxis, which must hold one of approximately 1,800 medallions licensed by the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) to operate in San Francisco, there is no regulatory limit on the supply of TNCs. TNCs have an increasingly visible presence in San Francisco. However, there has been little or no objective data available on TNCs to allow planners to understand the number of trips they provide, the amount of vehicle miles traveled they generate, or their effects on congestion, transit ridership, transit operations, or safety. Without this type of data it is difficult to make informed planning and policy decisions. Discussions with Uber, Lyft, and the California Public Utilities Commission, which collects trip-level data from TNCs in California, requesting information on TNC trips have not resulted in any data being shared. Under increasing pressure from policymakers for objective data to inform policy decisions, the San Francisco County Transportation Authority (SFCTA) partnered with researchers from Northeastern University who developed a methodology for collecting data through Uber’s and Lyft’s application programming interfaces (APIs) with high spatial and temporal resolution. This paper provides a brief literature review on transport network company (TNC) data, and goes one to describe the methodology used to collect data, summarizes the process for converting the raw data into estimated TNC trips, and presents an analysis of the results of the TNC trip estimates. This study determined that TNCs serve a substantial number of trips in San Francisco, over 170,000 on a typical weekday, that these trips follow traditional time of day distributions, and that they tend to take place in the busiest parts of the City.

Kobna Holdbrook-Smith was a member of the repertory company formed by artistic director Nicolas Kent for the 2005–2006 African-American season at the Tricycle Theatre in north London. That company also included Jenny Jules, Joseph Marcell, Lucian Msamati, Carmen Munroe, and Nathan Osgood. In Walk Hard – Talk Loud by Abram Hill, a play originally produced in 1944 and set in New York in the late 1930s, Holdbrook-Smith played a young boxer who faces racism. In Lynn Nottage's contemporary satire Fabulation, he took on dual roles – the heroine's husband who absconds with her wealth, and the gentle ex-junkie who offers her love. And in August Wilson's Gem of the Ocean, set in Pittsburgh in 1904, his Citizen Barlow seeks purification from the 285-year-old spiritual adviser Aunt Ester and is taken on a symbolic rite of passage. The Ghanaian-born Holdbrook-Smith also appeared at the Tricycle in 2004–2005 in Mustapha Matura's Playboy of the West Indies. Terry Stoller, who teaches at Baruch College in New York City and is working on a book project about the Tricycle Theatre, spoke with Holdbrook-Smith in June 2006 in Covent Garden, London.

Full textAbstract:
<p class="VLCResumen">This article examines how the most recognisable urban forms of the Siedlung in the first postwar period in Germany were influenced by previous experiences in the construction of the urban periphery involving the company town and the garden city. The adaptation of these peripheral settlements – in which the desired balance between the country house and the urban dwelling was achieved by introducing terraced housing – to meet certain requirements of sufficient density to satisfy the growing demand for small dwellings was to determine the final configuration of the “modern Siedlung,” the settlement characteristic of the expansion of the large German city in the 1920s. An urban form that was to combat the housing shortage problem by providing systematic, medium-density housing groups consisting mainly of linear buildings several storeys high integrated with the open space in a remarkable balance between building and nature. On the basis of original sources from that period, this text addresses noteworthy aspects of this evolution towards a spatial, functional and aesthetic shaping of the collective accommodation characteristic of a Modernist German urbanism which still deserves to be taken into consideration in the current discussion about urban density.</p>

Abstract Bioassays were conducted on 25-29 April 1994 at the Southwest Florida Research & Education Center, University of Florida at Immokalee. Two lots of imidacloprid were tested, Admire®1 (2 F) and BAY NTN 33893 (21.4% imidacloprid, Miles, Inc., Kansas City, MO). SLWF used in this study was maintained in established greenhouse cultures on potted tomato plants (Lycopersicum esculentum Miller, cv. ‘Lanai’) (one in each 15-cm pot) using Metro-Mix® 300 growing medium (Grace Sierra, Horticultural Products Company, Milpitas, CA), and fertilized once per wk using a slow release fertilizer (NPK: 12-8-6) (Diamond R Fertilizer Company, Winter Garden, FL). Whitefly-free tomato plants were exposed to whiteflies for 24 hr in the greenhouse. The plants were then disinfested of adult whiteflies with a vacuum cleaner and maintained in whitefly-free cages for 10 days to obtain second and third instars. Infested leaves were dipped in imidacloprid solutions and then placed individually in a 20 ml glass vial filled with water to incubate for 4 d at 25 ± 2°C, 70% (±5%), RH, and fluorescent illumination at 14:10 (L:D) h. Nymphs were examined with a stereoscopic microscope and dead nymphs distinguished as dry or detached from the leaf surface.

В статье описывается архитектурно-градостроительное развитие чешского города Злина (Zlín) в 1920-1930-е гг. За два межвоенных десятилетия небольшой средневековый город, каким был Злин в конце существования Австро-Венгерской империи, превратился в большой промышленный центр первой Чехословацкой Республики. Ключевую роль в этом преобразовании города сыграли владельцы обувной фабрики «Батя» (Baťa), которая была крупнейшим предприятием города. Видя залог успеха фирмы в благополучии ее сотрудников, владельцы фабрики считали необходимым обеспечивать их жильем и различными объектами социальной и культурной сферы. В течение 1920-1930-х гг. на основе идеи города-сада для Злина было разработано несколько проектов планировки; была выработана особая типология и особый облик двух- и четырехквартирных жилых домов фирмы «Батя», которые сегодня известны как «батевы домики»; специально для фирмы «Батя» была разработана конструктивная система, которая обеспечивала возможность скоростного возведения как новых производственных корпусов, так и общественных зданий. Использование единых конструктивных решений и материалов, внедрение принципов стандартизации и типизации, с одной стороны, обеспечивало высокие темпы развития города, а с другой -привело к формированию уникального, узнаваемого облика Злина, который привлекал сторонников «современной архитектуры», в том числе Ле Корбюзье. Опыт, накопленный в Злине, позволил архитекторам фирмы «Батя» разработать множество проектов небольших промышленных городов, которые строились фирмой по всему миру, а также начать работу над проектами «идеальных промышленных городов». Совокупность всех этих факторов и высокий процент реализации всех архитектурных и градостроительных проектов, разработанных для Злина, и сформировали представление о нем как об идеальном городе межвоенного чешского модернизма. The article describes the architectural and urban development of the Czech city Zlín in the 1920s-1930s. Zlín, a small medieval city at the end of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, during two interwar decades, turned into a large industrial center of the first Czechoslovak Republic. The key role in this transformation of the city was played by the owners of the Shoe factory “Bata” (Baťa), which was the largest enterprise in the city. Seeing the success of the company in the well-being of its employees, the owners of the factory considered it necessary to provide them with housing and various social and cultural facilities. Several projects of urban planning developed in the 1920’s and 1930’s, based on the idea of Zlín as a garden city. A special type of houses for 2 and 4 apartments each, which today is known as the “baťovský domek” were developed. A constructive system was developed especially for the company “Bata”, that provided the possibility of high-speed construction of new industrial buildings and new public buildings. The use of unified design solutions and materials, the introduction of the principles of standardization and typification, on the one hand, provided a high rate of development in the city, and on the other hand, led to the formation of a unique, recognizable image of Zlín, which attracted supporters of "modern architecture", including Le Corbusier. The experience gained in Zlín allowed the architects of the “Bata” firm to develop many projects for small industrial cities, which were built by the company around the world, as well as to start working on projects of "ideal industrial cities". The combination of all these factors and the high percentage of implementation of all architectural and urban projects developed for Zlín formed the idea of it as an ideal city of interwar Czech modernism. Key words: industrial city, ideal city, city planning, modernism architecture, Zlín, Czechoslovakia.

Full textAbstract:
Approaching struggles for political representation through a perspective of ‘methodological transterritorialism’, we seek to make sense of recent developments evolving around a territorialised urban neighbourhood. Werderau, a garden suburb founded by a mechanical engineering company at the beginning of the 20th century, enjoyed relative protection from globalising frictions and struggles until the ‘world-in-motion’ suddenly penetrated the community a few years ago. We begin by charting the production of the bounded settlement as a site of alternate social ordering at a time of hyper-industrialisation and its imaginary role as a territorial heterotopia, symbolising order in a seemingly chaotic urban world. Turning to the owner's decision to sell the neighbourhood in 1998, we then argue that long-term inhabitants discursively frame the events following the decision as ‘transterritorial pollution’ of their bounded community, reflected in the commodification of their neighbourhood and in an ‘invasion’ of non-German home-owners. After discussing how longer term residents attempt to restabilise their identities by taking up a xenophobic discourse, we conclude by criticising policymakers for responding solely in a territorial logic and for one-sidedly taking up the discourse advanced by long-term residents. Instead, we advance a utopian vision of the city as a worldly site where people live under conditions of ‘transcultural Gleich-Gültigkeit’ in the double meaning of the German term: understood as being ‘indifferent’ towards the proximate other as well as referring to equality and equal rights.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Railway towns, in their essence, are a specific evolution of the system of company towns, which disseminated during the 19th and 20th centuries. These company towns were characterised by communities of workers employed by the same company or group of companies, which owned the houses and infrastructures and exerted some sort of control over the town’s economic and social living. The model of a garden-city, under which most of the examples studied were developed, was the most common, although not the only one. Despite the relevance of these processes, there are no papers that analyse them in a global perspective and in the long run, but only studies that focus on particular cases with barely any contextualisation. Lest we forget that railway towns grew in tandem with the rail networks all over the world, from the most industrialised and populated areas to the new regions targeted for colonisation. In order to overcome this set of isolated reports of individual railway towns, in this paper, I group the most significant references and studies about railway towns created by different companies in different countries to propose a broader interpretation of the overall phenomenon. Amidst the features intended to be analysed, I highlight the origin and nature of these towns, their forms and urban structures, the most notable case studies, and their future as industrial heritage (questioning the reasons for the current status of the towns, some devoid of their railway functions, others with a lesser presence of the railway, and others almost depopulated).

This article discusses the innovative programs of Ausra, a solar power company based in Palo Alto, California, to convert sunshine into electricity. The team is trying to use the best tools available to design a renewable energy system that can be put together by largely unskilled labor and do it cheaply enough to be profitable. The paper also highlights that instead of using one parabolic surface, Ausra divides its mirrored reflectors into strips, each of which concentrates light into a set of pipes mounted 40 feet overhead. A single square mile of mirror field like this one near Bakersfield can generate as much as 80 MW. The Ausra manufacturing plant in Las Vegas is a garden-variety factory, using robotic welders and hard-hatted workers to build the trusses that support the mirrors. According to researchers, a look at a solar radiation map of the United States shows that finding sunshine ought not to be a problem. While the eastern half of the country has too many partly cloudy days to make much use of solar thermal power, the Southwest is one of the best locations in the world for it.

Way Betung watershed is one of the important water resources in Lampung Province and it provides a clean water for Bandar Lampung City through a regional water supply company (PDAM). By the increase of population and economical activities of Bandar Lampung City, the need of clean water also increase, however by the time, the conditions of Way Betung watershed as water resources are declining. Therefore, to improve or to restore WayBetung watershed, a high cost is needed. The research was aimed: (a) to study the effects of Way Betung watershed land use change on the water resources of Bandar Lampung City, (b) to arrange the sustainable development of Way Betung watershed in order to maintain the availability of water resources. The sustainable developments of water resources of Way Betung watershed were arranged in five alternatives/scenarios and each alternative was related toits erosion (USLE method) and its run off volume (SCS method). The results showed that land use changes of Way Betung watershed (1991-2006) were likely to increase daily maximum discharge (Q max), to decrease daily minimum discharge (Q min), to increase fluctuation of river discharge, and to increase yearly run off coeffcient. The best sustainable development of water resources of Way Betung watershed, Lampung Province, was alternative/scenario-4 (forest as 30% of watershed areas + alley cropping in the mix garden). This alternative will decrease erosion to the level lower than tolerable soil loss and also decrease fluctuation of monthly run off.Keywords: Land use change, run off coefficient, water resources, watershed

There was once a city here in Southern California, a lovely replica and reimagining of a village from the Piedmont area of Italy. Once, it was the center of life for hundreds of families who came from the mountains of southern Italy to work for Secondo Guasti, who picked grapes and made them into wine and packed the barrels onto railroad cars. Secondo Guasti built an entire little world here, with a town named for himself. The surrounding land was planted in vineyards, grapes famous for sacramental wines, communion wines, and a world-famous dark red port. The Italian Vineyard Company was the largest vineyard in the world in 1917, with 5,000 acres of grapevines that produced 5 million gallons of wine a year, vintages that were sent all over the world.

ABSTRACT:The formation of industrial districts and the role that development played in shaping the pattern of American cities has become a standard for urban history. This has not been the case for Los Angeles. Despite its centrality for a metropolitan economy that has led California for a century and that today leads the nation in manufacturing employment, scholars and pundits have overlooked production in favour of consumption. Little is known about how firms, business associations and city officials created space for industry during the late nineteenth century when manufacturers' locational decisions contributed to spatial concentration in the city's core. A case study of the Cudahy Packing Company reveals why such sites were favoured, how a sectoral-specific district emerged and the processes through which Angelenos transformed a Yankee pueblo into an industrial city. Two factors, the local state's enablement of manufacturing via policy and regulation and the use of industrialization as an immigrant removal strategy, emerge as significant. Neither has been prominent in the literature on the growth of Los Angeles while the latter, the linking of race-ethnicity with land use, has been less prominent in prior studies of industrial districts.

Full textAbstract:
Reflecting a commitment to public service and an interest in abiding investments, life insurance companies after the Second World War were responsible for the construction of an unprecedented number of housing developments across the United States. They were able to help alleviate housing shortages, elevate the standards of postwar housing, and offer new forms of modern living. This article examines the practices of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company and its developing of Parklabrea (now Park La Brea) in Los Angeles during the 1940s. As the largest housing community west of the Mississippi River, Parklabrea stands prominently in the center of the city, though it is elided in histories of California housing. Against the backdrop of postwar public housing, which failed in part due to a disregard for urban context, Parklabrea’s history reveals how life insurance companies were increasingly attuned to the social, physical, and economic contexts of postwar cities.

Full textAbstract:
In May 2006, signs and symptoms of a rust disease were observed on hybrid gladiolus plants in a home garden located in the city of San Diego, CA. Uredinial lesions were bright orange, variable in shape from globose to oval to transversely elongate, and measured 28 to 652 × 36 to 994 μm. Urediniospores measured 16 to 26 × 16 to 23 μm and had hyaline walls that were 2 μm thick and finely echinulate with recurved spines. Some uredinial lesions located primarily at the base of the leaves were surrounded by dark, irregular lesions (telia) by the epidermis. Telia contained nonseptate, light-to-chestnut brown teliospores that measured 20 to 30 × 13 to 20 μm with an apical thickening measuring 2 to 5 μm. Teliospore pedicels measured 3 to 33 × 2 to 5 μm. Groups of teliospores were separated into locules by upright, pale brown paraphyses. The rust was identified as Uromyces transversalis, the cause of gladiolus rust and a quarantine pest for the United States. An intensive 23 square mile survey was initiated and resulted in the detection of infected plants at one nearby residence 200 feet away, in a commercial nursery six miles east of the initial site of detection, and at a residence across the street from the infected nursery. Plants in the nursery were grown outdoors in three blocks, in which the disease incidences were 20, 80, and 100% with varying levels of severity. Telia were also found at this location. The nursery grows gladiolus flowers for sale at local farmer markets, sometimes supplemented by additional cut gladiolus from Mexico. U. transversalis is known to occur in Mexico (2). This rust is under eradication at all four sites. Gladiolus rust was reported in Florida in April 2006. To our knowledge, this is the first confirmed report of Gladiolus rust in California.

AbstractZbąszynek (Neu Bentschen), a German border post, with accommodation for railway workers, customs officials, postmen and border guards, was established primarily between 1923 and 1930. It was built in the middle of the countryside, designed according to the garden city concept and provided with an urban technical infrastructure. In the years 1932 to 1945, the town had the status of a rural parish. The majority of the houses and civic buildings (railway station, school, town hall, Protestant church, Catholic church, inn) were designed by Wilhelm Beringer from the Deutsche Reichsbahn administration in Frankfurt (Oder). He incorporated neo-baroque and expressionist motifs. The monumental and expressionist water tower, designed by Bruno Möhring from Berlin, is also worth noting. The town comprised two parts. The eastern part contained housing for company workers and officials, a school at the main town square and an inn; the western part was intended – though the idea was short-lived – to comprise privately owned houses, both churches and the town hall. By design, the slaughterhouse, sewage treatment plant and cemetery were all placed on the periphery of the town. The two parts were, and still are divided by ul. Wojska Polskiego, Zbąszynek’s main street. Its southern end is the imposing pl. Dworcowy, the Station Square, taking the form of a cour d’honneur.

On selected living spaces that function in contemporary urban cultural landscape Streszczenie Autorzy artykułu opisują wybrane przykłady przestrzeni mieszkalnych ukształtowanych i zrealizowanych w XX i XXI wieku a funkcjonujących do obecnych czasów w krajobrazie miast. Starają się wyjaśnić i ocenić odniesienia do filozofii ich budowania i etyki projektowania. Szczególnie zwracają uwagę na procesy manipulacji a zachowania szacunku do natury i otwartych przestrzeni. Zostało to przedstawione na przykładach międzywojennych historycznych osiedli w Łodzi im. Mątwiłła Mireckiego i Werkbundu we Wrocławiu oraz miasta ogrodu Zlin firmy Bata. Fabryka butów Baty zmieniła wygląd całego miasta, które stało się sprawnie funkcjonującą przestrzenią, z precyzyjnie zaprojektowaną architekturą warunkującą każdy aspekt życia. Okres powojennej myśli urbanistycznej przedstawiono na wzorze osiedla Sadów Żoliborskich oraz nowatorskiej idei lat 70-tych na przykładzie konkursu na osiedle Ursynów w Warszawie. Odniesiono się do idei miasta ogrodu i jego odsłony w latach 80-tych poprzez tworzenie zielonych, otwartych osiedli w zabudowie niskiej i dywanowej w ramach zleceń rządowych. Wprawdzie te idee nie były zrealizowane ale pozostawała myśl i pragnienie. Poszanowanie terenów zieleni o zasadniczym znaczeniu dla charakteru miejsca zaprezentowano na przykładzie zespołu domów pasywnych w Konstantynowie Łódzkim czy osiedla Aspern w Wiedniu, sposobu ich procedowania i tworzenia. Zwrócono uwagę na rangę poszanowanie wartości krajobrazowych, wyjaśniono zależności pomiędzy przestrzenią, architekturą a naturą. Podjęto próbę znalezienia priorytetowych o kapitalnym znaczeniu elementów gry przestrzennej dla zachowania wartości nadrzędnych dla środowiska naturalnego i architektury. On selected living spaces that function in contemporary urban cultural landscape The authors of the article describe selected examples of living spaces shaped and constructed in the 20th and 21st century and functioning to the present day in the city landscape. They try to explain and evaluate references to the building philosophy and design ethics. They pay particular attention to the processes of manipulation and respect for nature and open spaces. It was presented on the examples of the historical interwar housing estates in Łódź Mątwiłł Mirecki and Werkbund in Wrocław and the Zlin garden city by the Bata Company. The Bata Shoe Factory changed the shape of the entire city into a functioning space, with architecture conditioning every aspect of life. The period of post-war urban thought was presented on the model of the Sadów Żoliborskie estate and the innovative idea of the 1970s on the example of the competition for the Ursynów estate in Warsaw. It was based on the idea of a garden city and its presentation in the 1980s by creating green, low open housing estates as part of government commissions. Although these ideas were not realized, the idea, thought and desire remained. The respect for green areas of fundamental importance for the character of the place was presented on the example of the passive house complex in Konstantynów Łódzki or the Aspern estate in Vienna. The importance of respect for landscape values was emphasized, and the relationship between space, architecture and nature was explained. An attempt was made to find the main elements of space, which was of paramount importance for the preservation of values superior to the natural environment and architecture.

Full textAbstract:
The ‘Russet Burbank’ potato cultivar currently occupies first place in acreage planted in North America and is worth in the United States $1.4 billion annually. It is a sport of ‘Burbank's Seedling’, which was selected by Luther Burbank in 1873. The ancestry of Burbank stems from a plant introduction brought to the United States by the Rev. Chauncey Goodrich of New York State in 1853. The priorities of potato breeding had been transformed by repetitive crop failures caused by the emergence of the plant pathogen Phytophthora infestans. Modern testing suggests that derivatives of Goodrich’s potatoes were slightly more resistant to Phytophthora. Burbank discovered a single fruit on one of these derivatives, ‘Early Rose’, in his mother’s garden. Taking the 23 true seeds, he nursed them to full-sized plants and selected ultimately No. 15. It produced an unusually high yield of large, very oblong tubers, stored well, and was a good eating potato. Burbank’s life was destined for a long career in California and he attempted to sell the clone to J.H.J. Gregory of Gregory’s Honest Seeds, a successful businessman. Ultimately Gregory agreed to buy it for $150, far less than Burbank wanted, but enough to propel him to California. Gregory named the potato ‘Burbank's Seedling’, which no doubt engendered fame for the entrepreneur. Luther Burbank had been allowed by Gregory to keep 10 tubers, which became the seed source for the ‘Burbank's Seedling’ to spread north and south along the West Coast of North America with a crop value, stated by Burbank, of $14 million in 1914. It is not clear that Luther Burbank prospered from ‘Burbank's Seedling’ in the West. A skin sport with a russet skin was found in Colorado in 1902 and was advertised by a seed company under the name ‘Netted Gem’. ‘Burbank's Seedling’ per se disappeared from commerce and ‘Netted Gem’ slowly increased, finding a special niche in production of French fry potatoes. It is clear that Luther Burbank gained tremendous insight into the dynamics of hybridization in revealing genetic variation from clonally propagated species. During the rest of his career he would use this technique to produce new and amazing forms of numerous food and ornamental species. ‘Burbank's Seedling’ was his entrez into the world of plant breeding.

Full textAbstract:
As the number and interests of charitable institutions expanded throughout Britain during the eighteenth century, so special fund-raising events, anniversary celebrations, and meetings multiplied. During 1775, for example, the major metropolitan charities and a plethora of minor benevolent societies courted middle- and upper-class Londoners with invitations to concerts and exhibitions. Men could support various hospitals and other good causes by dining in taverns and City Livery Halls in company with civic and ecclesiastical dignitaries, even noble and royal dukes. Both men and women might attend charities' anniversary services, ornamented with special music and a sermon, choosing among dispensaries, hospitals, lying-in charities, religious societies, and various efforts to reform and reclaim the poor for public benefit. On Sundays, armed with tickets, special prayer books, and even keys to their rented pews, women and men might attend the chapel of a philanthropic institution. Alternatively, they could listen to a fund-raising sermon and watch charity-school children arrayed in the gallery of a parish church. Toward the end of the year, they might pay half a guinea each to hear Handel's Messiah in the Foundling Hospital Chapel or go to Covent Garden and Drury Lane to watch tragedies and farces. Charitable activity thus extended beyond churches, alms, and sermons into the theater. It spilled onto the streets as gentlemen processed to dinner; it accompanied art and music. Conversely, waves of fashion drove visitors to one philanthropic institution or another to see deserving recipients, hear a particularly popular preacher, or to be observed themselves.

Full textAbstract:
The time of concentration is the time it takes a drop of water in a basin to travel from the most distant point to the outlet, and is one of the most important parameters, along with the morphometric characteristics, for determining the design flow rate in rainfall-runoff models. This study aims to determine the sensitivity of the parameters included in different equations for the calculation of the time of concentration. A case study was conducted on small, urbanized watersheds in the city of Montería, Colombia. The study uses information obtained through field work using GPS equipment and electronic total station, supplemented by geographic information contained in the city drawings of the local sewage company, which includes data on elevations above sea level with sub-metric precision. The time of concentration determined by the 12 empirical equations was compared to the results obtained from the equation proposed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), which was considered as a baseline formulation for the intricacy of calculation. Based on this comparison, it was found that the Carter equation is the one that best fits the results obtained from the NRCS equation because it displayed highly significant goodness of fit values. Even though the equations by Kirpich, Ventura, California Culvert Practice, Simas-Hawkins and TxDOT provide a relatively good fit compared to other empirical equations, they tend to over-estimate time of concentration values, which could lead to the under-estimation of the design flow rates. For this reason, sensitivity analysis of the parameters of these equations represents an alternative for improving the calculation of the time of concentration. The current research analyses deepen the influence of some parameters in the estimation of time of concentration. The research can also be used by designers and engineers in the city of Montería, Colombia, as an important reference to compute time of concentrations in urbanized watersheds.

Learning outcomes Discussion of the case will enable students to: explain what are the five specific dimensions that are important determinants of an environment conducive to entrepreneurial behavior; analyze how to measure the internal environment on the five dimensions critical to creating an entrepreneurial/innovative environment; devise a profile of the firm across the five dimensions – top management support, work discretion, rewards and reinforcement, time availability and organizational boundaries; explain how to attempt to identify the perceived gaps at the unit or division level and then work to rectify the specific areas; and describe models of corporate entrepreneurship. Case overview/synopsis Mexicali is a border city in the state of Baja California, Mexico. It was in the month of May 2022. The President of Prodensa Consulting Services (PCS), Marco Kuljacha (Marco), was sitting in his office thinking about a way forward to create an intrapreneurial culture by identifying more “Marcos or Marcias” among his current PCS employees. As he contemplates the future of the company, he is hoping to identify individuals within the organization who exhibit an entrepreneurial mindset through generating and leading new business initiatives for PCS. He desires to support people who have the potential to emerge as future leaders within the organization. He is striving to identify those individuals who want to proactively develop their career trajectories in ways similar to Marco’s earlier professional experiences. After starting with Grupo Prodensa in 2006 as a Junior Project Manager, Marco, by pursuing an intrapreneurial path, worked his way up to become President of the PCS in 2022. According to Marco, such individuals should exhibit the willingness to foster opportunities for new business ventures for PCS and possess traits such as innovation, proactivity, risk-taking, accountability and networking. With an eye toward the need for continuous innovation and change, Marco was thinking about ways to identify and develop entrepreneurially minded individuals among his employees working at PCS. Corporate entrepreneurship was of great importance for him and the future of the company. The case provides an opportunity for students to step into the shoes of Marco and find an appropriate intrapreneurship model to implement the intrapreneurship culture. In doing so, students should take into consideration the data regarding the existing corporate entrepreneurship processes and teams at Grupo Prodensa that helped it to innovate and make assumptions to analyze the feasibility of implementing intrapreneurship culture by finding more Marco or Marcia. Complexity academic level This case can be used as an introductory case in a postgraduate class on corporate entrepreneurship, as it delineates the challenges faced by Marco in finding an appropriate intrapreneurship model and finding in PCS more Marco or Marcia has qualities such as innovator, proactive, risk-taker, accountability, networking, for implementing corporate entrepreneurship culture in PCS. The case can also be used in a corporate entrepreneurship course and an innovation management course. The case allows students to learn about the model of corporate entrepreneurship; strengths, opportunities, aspirations and results analysis; pros and cons analysis; and challenges faced by the company during the implementation of corporate entrepreneurship. Thus, the case can be used for covering multiple perspectives related to measuring the internal environment or managers’ perception of the five dimensions critical to implementing corporate entrepreneurship (e.g. the application of the Corporate Entrepreneurship Assessment Instrument), and is ideal for teaching the different corporate entrepreneurship models.

Full textAbstract:
Early in 1920, French-born architect Sholto Smith (1881-1936) decided to abandon his Moose Jaw practice, and his Canadian wife and family, and emigrate to New Zealand. His decision seems to have been precipitated by a memorable encounter with a woman who would later become a celebrated pianist for the Auckland radio station 1YA, Phyllis Mary Hams (1895-1974). Sholto Smith had met Hams during World War I while he was on leave from the Canadian Expeditionary Force and visiting Colwyn Bay, North Wales. Sholto Smith's major contribution to Arts and Crafts Auckland, the house he designed as a gift for Phyllis Hams on the occasion of their marriage on 3 March 1925, was named Colwyn to memorialise their Welsh meeting place. Despite only living in New Zealand for his last 16 years, Sholto Smith left a legacy of over 100 buildings. Colwyn was a well-placed advertisement for his domestic architecture, and his Arts and Crafts and Tudor house designs were soon in great demand throughout the building boom of the 1920s. Smith had arrived in Auckland on 17 March 1920 and immediately joined the practice of Thomas Coulthard Mullions (1878-1957) and C Fleming McDonald. The latter had been the architect of the original Masonic Hotel in Napier (1897), and the firm originally specialised in hotels and commercial architecture using modern materials including reinforced concrete, but dressing the modernist structure with historicist references. Several of their inner-city Auckland buildings such as the Waitemata and Manukau Council building on the corner of Shortland and Princes Street, Chancery Chambers in O'Connell Street and the Lister building on the corner of Victoria and Lorne Streets, still survive. After McDonald's death, Sholto Smith became a partner in the firm and encouraged Thomas Mullions to move into residential property development in central Auckland: Shortland Flats (1922) was a commercial venture where the architects formed a company owning shares in the building which comprised 24 flats designed to generate rental income. But detached suburban domestic architecture was Sholto Smith's real passion. Before leaving Canada for fresh beginnings in New Zealand, he drew an architectural perspective for his ideal home. He titled this drawing Dreamwold, and his vision for this ideal house was to be realised in Auckland at 187 St Heliers Bay Road. For this house design, Sholto Smith drew inspiration from Canadian colleagues such as British Columbian architect Samuel Maclure (1860-1929) and from the British masters of the Arts and Crafts Movement including CFA Voysey (1857-1951) and MH Baillie Scott (1865-1945). Colwyn is reminiscent of the latter's Corrie Wood (1908) in Letchworth Garden City, Hertfordshire in its adventurous open planning. A little bit of Olde Englande recreated in the South Pacific for his homesick new wife, Colwyn was Sholto Smith's perfect Dreamwold, right down to the text on the wooden mantelpiece over the fireplace. The quote inscribed there is taken from the beginning of Shakespeare's sonnet 57, and seems addressed by Smith to his 30-year-old bride: "Being your slave, what should I do but tend upon the hours and times of your desire?" Epitomising the romantic archetype, Colwyn remains a fine example of the type of Arts and Crafts dwelling that well-to-do Aucklanders aspired to inhabit in the 1920s.

Full textAbstract:
During August 2012, vertical oozing cankers were sporadically observed on trunks and branches of walnut trees (Juglans regia) in the city of Zánka, near Lake Balaton and other parts of Hungary including Budapest, Győr, and Tatabánya cities. Cankers were observed on trunks and branches where brownish-black exudates staining the bark appeared mainly in the summer. Isolations were performed primarily from exudates but also from infected tissues using King's medium B (KB) (3) and EMB medium (2). Colonies similar in appearance to Brenneria nigrifluens (syn.: Erwinia nigrifluens) (1,5) were isolated. The bacterium, first reported in California, was also recorded in Iran, Spain, France, and several Italian locations, on walnut trees. The bacterial strain was gram negative and did not induce a hypersensitive response on tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L. ‘White Burley’) leaves. The bacterium grew at 26°C. Colonies on KB were white and non-fluorescent, but on EMB medium were a typical dark purple with metallic green sheen. The results of substrate utilization profiling using the API 20E kit (Biomérieux, Marcy l'Etoile, France) showed that the bacterium belonged to the Enterobacteriaceae. The strain was positive for citrate utilization, H2S, and acetoin production and urease, glucose, inositol, saccharose, and arabinose reactions. Pathogenicity was tested by injecting five young healthy walnut branches on two separate 2-year-old grafted potted plants with a bacterial suspension containing 107 CFU/ml. Negative controls were walnut branches injected with sterile distilled water. Branches were enclosed in plastic bags and incubated in a greenhouse under 80% shade at 26°C day and 17°C night temperatures. Three months after inoculation, necrotic lesions were observed in the inner bark and dark lines were observed in internal wood, but no external cankers were observed on inoculated branches. The negative control appeared normal. B. nigrifluens was re-isolated from lesions on inoculated branches and identified as described above; thus, Koch's postulates were fulfilled. For molecular identification of the pathogen, 16S rDNA amplification was performed using genomic DNA from strain Bn-WalnutZa-Hun1 with a universal bacterial primer set (63f and 1389r) (4). The PCR products were cloned into a pGEM T-Easy vector (Promega, Madison, WI) and transformed into Escherichia coli DH5α cells. A recombinant plasmid (2A2.5) was sequenced using M13 forward and reverse primers. The sequence was deposited in NCBI GenBank (Accession No. HF936707) and showed 99% sequence identity with a number of B. nigrifluens strains, including type strains Z96095.1, AJ233415.1, JX484740.1, JX484739.1, JX484738.1, and FJ611884.1. On the basis of the symptoms, colony morphology, biochemical tests, and 16S rDNA sequence identity, the pathogen was identified as Brenneria nigrifluens. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a natural outbreak of bacterial bark canker on walnut in Hungary and the presence of the pathogen may seriously influence in local orchards and garden production in the future.

Full textAbstract:
Recent investigation of bacteria isolated from samples submitted to the Plant Disease Diagnostic Laboratory, Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture indicated that in 1995, Xanthomonas gardneri (ex Sutic 1957) (2) caused a leaf spot on tomato plants (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.). In 1995, we examined 185 tomato and 36 pepper samples (13 field, 2 garden center, 38 greenhouse, 4 residence, 16 field-grown transplant, and 148 greenhouse-grown transplant samples). A processing company representative collected samples showing symptoms of bacterial spot of tomato on a hybrid, whole pack processing tomato, from a 16-ha field in Northumberland County, PA exhibiting almost 50% crop infection. Symptoms consisted of circular- to irregularly shaped, dark brown spots, <5 mm in diameter, and frequently with chlorotic haloes on leaves and stems. The center of a spot may be raised and scabby. Several spots on a single leaflet may coalesce and a portion or the entire leaflet may turn yellow or die. These symptoms were indistinguishable from those of bacterial spot caused by X. euvesicatoria, X. vesicatoria, and X. perforans. Bacterial streaming from lesions was evident under dark-field microscopy. Aerobic, gram-negative, yellow-pigmented, mucoid bacteria were isolated from the leaf spots and purified and stored in nutrient broth with 10% glycerol at –80°C. The 16S rRNA gene from a strain (PDA80951-95) typical of the cultures from these samples was sequenced (GenBank Accession No. GU573763). A BlastN search of GenBank revealed 100% nucleotide identity with the type strain of X. gardneri (XCGA2; No. AF123093). This strain also exhibited repetitive sequence-based (rep)-PCR profiles (4) identical to profiles of X. gardneri type strain XCGA2 DNA and produced a ~425-bp PCR product with BSX primers, a genetic marker indicative of X. gardneri (1). The strain was not amylolytic or pectolytic (2) and failed to utilize maltose, gentiobiose, and melezitose (3). For pathogenicity tests, inoculum was grown in nutrient broth with shaking for 24 h at 28°C. Inoculum was centrifuged, resuspended in sterile tap water, and adjusted to 2.5 × 108 CFU/ml. Lower leaf surfaces of tomato (cvs. Bonnie Best and Walter) and pepper (cvs. California Wonder and Early Niagara) plants were gently rubbed with sterile cheesecloth that was moistened with the inoculum. Strain PDA80951-95 caused leaf spots, with chlorotic haloes and occasional coalescence on both tomato and pepper, within 2 weeks at 15 s of mist per 20 min at 20 to 35°C in a secured greenhouse chamber. X. gardneri was only reisolated from symptomatic plants and its identity was confirmed by rep-PCR and absence of amylolytic and pectolytic activities. Negative controls consisting of X. campestris pv. campestris and sterile tap water did not show symptoms. A known type strain of X. gardneri was not included as a positive control for pathogenicity studies because this species is not known to occur in the United States (2). To our knowledge, this is the first report of bacterial spot on tomato plants caused by X. gardneri in Pennsylvania and the United States. Since the first occurrence in 1995, bacterial spot caused by X. gardneri reoccurred in Pennsylvania tomato fields in 2001 and consecutively from 2003 to 2009. Reference: (1) D. A. Cuppels et al.

Vanda Juhansoo. Artist or Eccentric Woman?Estonian Museum of Applied Art and Design18.01.–01.03.2020, Tartu City Museum 19.06.–26.09.2021.Exhibition curated by: Andreas Kalkun (Estonian Literary Museum)and Rebeka Põldsam, graphic design: Stuudio Stuudio.
Vanda Juhansoo (1889–1966) was by education a porcelain painter and furniture designer; she was, however, known as a textile and craft artist, traveller, polyglot, notable art teacher, interior decorator, advocate of women’s craft, soroptimist and gardener. Sometimes she was also known as the ‘Witch of Valgemetsa’. She graduated from the Central School of Applied Arts Ateneum in Finland, which makes her one of the first Estonian women artists with a higher education at the beginning of the 20th century.
Even though Vanda Juhansoo specialised in ceramics and furniture design, as a student she received the most recognition (as well as travel grants) for her embroidery. From then on, Vanda spent her next thirty summers travelling in Europe. Between 1912 and 1945, she exhibited her ceramics, embroidered doilies and curtains in various places, including the first ever Estonian women artists’ show in 1939. Vanda Juhansoo worked with the Kodukäsitöö limited company, that had been established in 1927 with the aim of reducing unemployment among women. Alongside craft and women’s magazines, the Kodukäsitöö was the most significant promoter of women’s craft in Estonia, regularly organising exhibition-sales and taking Estonian craft to international shows. Unfortunately, most of Vanda Juhansoo’s oeuvre was so ephemeral that there is very little trace of it now. The Karilatsi Open Air Museum near Vanda’s home in Valgemetsa and the collection of the Estonian National Museum hold items given to the museum by Vanda’s cousin’s family, which Vanda herself most likely wore – these are made to fit her petite size and there are photos of Vanda wearing these garments. Her signature style used floral motifs embroidered onto the thin textiles she wove herself. Like a painter, she spent hours embroidering, casting ethnographic patterns aside when creating her original designs. Even though the Estonian National Museum has exhibited Vanda Juhansoo’s embroidered cardigans as examples of Estonian folk art, these are, in fact, clearly original artistic designs.
After World War II, Vanda stopped exhibiting and publishing her patterns in craft magazines. Instead, she committed herself to teaching drawing and supervised a number of children’s art classes in Tartu that produced many wellknown artists. The memory of Vanda has largely been kept alive by her students, who remember her as a particularly bright and optimistic person. In addition to her embroidery, Vanda’s original style remained visible as she expressed it in her memorable multicoloured hair nets and abundant jewellery, as well as in the striking Valgemetsa summer house and garden.
The curators tried to trace back and recreate some of the wonderful world that Vanda created all around herself with her designs, handicraft, paintings, photos and memories from museums, archives, and from people who knew her. Looking at the life, work and legacy of Vanda Juhansoo, the exhibition asked: What were the choices for women artists in Estonia at the beginning of the 20th century? Why are Vanda’s works found mainly in the collections of ethnographic memory institutions rather than in art museums? Why did Vanda become the so-called ‘Witch of Valgemetsa’ and not a recognised applied artist?
In the present review, the reception of the exhibition is summarised and juxtaposed with the few studies on Vanda Juhansoo’s textile work from the perspective of craft studies and the history of applied art.

Benigni's zaniness and self-mockery seemed to embody everything that has convinced foreigners that Italians are, above all, brava gente (nice people). Sometimes, this conclusion can have a supercilious air – niceness can easily be reduced to levity or fecklessness. In those university courses that seek to comprehend the terrible tragedies of twentieth-century Europe, Italians seldom play a leading role. German, Russian, Polish, Yugoslav, and even British and French history are each riven with death and disaster or, alternatively, with heroism and achievement. In such austere company, brava gente can seem out of place.

Abstract Introduction: Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is an established treatment for malignant and non-malignant hematologic diseases. However, HCT is not without risk; rates of non-relapse mortality (NRM) remain high during the first year after transplantation. Clinical prediction models have been developed to identify those at increased risk for NRM after HCT, but the impact of social determinants of health on transplant outcomes has not been well characterized. To address this gap, we evaluated the relationship between census tract-level social vulnerability and 1y NRM following HCT. Methods: Using a retrospective cohort design, this study included 1,602 patients living in California (CA) who underwent a first allogeneic HCT between 2013-2019 at City of Hope. Demographic, insurance, disease, treatment, and survival information was abstracted from the medical records. Social vulnerability according to the census tract was measured using the Social Vulnerability Index (SVI), a tool developed by the Center for Disease Control. SVI comprises 4 themes (socioeconomic status [SES], household composition & disability, minority status & language, and housing & transportation) constructed using 15 social and environmental variables from the US Census. This study used the overall SVI and individual theme scores which were ranked across the CA census tracts as percentiles; the scores ranged from 0 (least vulnerable) to 100 (most vulnerable). Scores were assigned to patients using their address at the time of HCT. Fine-Gray multivariable regression was used to evaluate the association between SVI, tertiles of SVI, and 1y NRM, adjusted for age at HCT, performance status, relapse risk (RR), human leukocyte antigen (HLA) match, and HCT-Comorbidity Index (HCT-CI). We also performed subgroup analysis to examine the risk of NRM across combined SVI and HCT-CI categories: 1) lower two SVI tertiles (low social vulnerability) and low (<3) HCT-CI score (reference); 2) low social vulnerability and high (≥3) HCT-CI score; 3) high social vulnerability (upper SVI tertile) and low HCT-CI score; 4) high social vulnerability and high HCT-CI score. Results: Median age at HCT for the cohort was 52.0 years (IQR 33.0-63.0); 55.8% were male; 44.6% were non-Hispanic white; 59.1% had private insurance. The most common diagnosis was acute myeloid leukemia (40.7%) and 54.1% received reduced intensity conditioning. In the first year after HCT, 357 patients died (NRM 15.3% [n=245], relapse-related 7.0% [n=112]). In multivariable analysis, there was a significant linear relationship between worsening overall SVI and the risk of 1y NRM (SVI coefficient=0.0056, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.001-0.010, p=0.017). Patients in the highest SVI tertile (most socially vulnerable) had a 1.4-fold (HR=1.41, 95%CI: 1.08-1.83, p=0.011) risk of 1y NRM compared to those in the lowest two SVI tertiles. When the 4 themes were evaluated individually, increased risk for 1y NRM was found for the highest SVI tertiles for SES (HR=1.43, 95% CI: 1.10-1.86, p=0.008), household composition & disability (HR=1.32, 95% CI: 1.02-1.71, p=0.036), and minority status & language (HR=1.40, 95% CI: 1.08-1.83, p=0.013). When the themes were considered together in one regression model, only the highest SVI tertile for SES retained significance. The one-year cumulative incidence of 1y NRM was highest (22.0%) for patients who had both high social vulnerability and a high HCT-CI score at HCT (Figure 1); in adjusted analysis, patients who had both high social vulnerability and HCT-CI scores were at a 1.6-fold (HR=1.64, 95% CI: 1.21-2.24, p=0.002) risk of 1y NRM compared to the rest of the patients. Conclusion: Among allogeneic HCT recipients, SVI, especially within the theme of SES, was an independent predictor of 1y NRM, after adjusting for RR, performance status, age at HCT, HLA match, and HCT-CI score. Patients with both the highest social vulnerability and high comorbidity had particularly increased risk of 1y NRM, suggesting that in addition to clinical risk factors, local social and environmental factors play an important role in health outcomes following HCT. These findings may inform more targeted approaches for needs assessment during and shortly after HCT, allowing for timely interventions to improve health outcomes in at-risk allogeneic HCT patients.
