Abstract:
Sibling caretaking, although common across time and cultures, has not been well researched from the carer’s point of view. In Nicaragua, ranked as one of the poorest countries in the Americas, sibling caretaking is common. The country’s historical background and its state of chronic poverty, widespread unemployment, loose family structures, and migration and mobility makes of the old practise of shared management child care a necessity. Households headed by sing¬le mothers constitute a particular Nica¬raguan charact¬eristic. Many children are expected to help in their own families and care for their siblings and other children living in their households. In its broadest sense sibling caretaking is a public health concern, and we conducted this study to widen the understanding of the phenomenon as it is represented in a setting undergoing a rapid social transition. The main objectives were to identify, describe and analyse the life situation of sibling caretakers in poor areas in León, Nicaragua, with focus on how they perceived it themselves. A combined qualitative and quantitative methodological design was used, mainly applying an ethnographic approach. A further ambition was to explore involvement of children in a participatory research process in accordance with the ‘Convention on the Rights of the Child’. The overall emotion expressed among the caretakers was pride, even if their situation often was characterized by stress and coping problems. They perceived their work as important for their families and they appreciated to fend for their siblings. Household work and nurturing of siblings were shaping the future lives of the caretakers and constituted part of their socialization. Even if many of these children achieve essential life skills as caretakers, they are at risk of falling behind as they grow older. Their long-term personal development is likely to be hampered by the obligations they have as caretakers. The carers' awareness of missing out on education was the most problematic issue for them. From a societal point of view, caretaking has negative consequences. The individual child is marginalised with limited access to basic education, contributing to overall low educational levels in Nicaragua. While the structuring conditions leading to sibling caretaking may be difficult to change, awareness of how these can affect children might make way for improvements in terms of access to school education and support from the society. The knowledge gained from this study should be further utilised to plan for interventions that take children’s perspectives into consideration.

Abstract:
This multiple case study explored the experiences of adult immigrants who came to Canada alone, separated from those with whom they would normally share life transitions. Data were collected through individual interviews with eight participants, and analysed using an ecological framework to explore their migration experiences in the context of separation from family and friends. Key findings included negative experiences of emotional isolation, positive and negative reactions to social isolation, and changing self-identities. Separation also had implications for the relationships between participants and those from whom they had been separated. Findings were consistent with research done previously with specific refugee populations in the Canadian context, and with broader immigrant populations in different contexts. The findings have potential implications for practice with immigrants and Canadian immigration policy, and point to areas for further research.
Cette étude de cas multiples a exploré les expériences d'immigrants adultes arrivés seuls au Canada, séparés de ceux avec lesquels ils auraient normalement partagé cette transition importante dans leurs vies. Les données ont été recueillies par le biais d'entrevues individuelles avec huit participants, et ont été analysées à partir d'un point de vue écologique. La perspective écologique a été utilisée afin d'explorer les expériences de migration dans le contexte de la séparation entre les immigrants et leurs familles et amis.Les résultats majeurs incluent la présence d'émotions négatives liées à l'isolement émotionnel, la présence de réactions négatives et positives face à l'isolement social, et des changements au niveau identitaire. La séparation a aussi eu des effets sur les relations entre les participants et ceux avec lesquels ils ont été séparés. Les résultats de cette recherche confirment les résultats d'études antérieures auprès d'immigrants dans le contexte Canadien, ainsi qu'avec d'autres populations dans d'autres contextes. Les résultats peuvent informer la pratique du travail social auprès des immigrants, influer sur les politiques sociales d'immigration, et indiquer de nouveaux champs de recherche.

Calcraft, Rebecca. "Children left at home alone : the construction of a social problem." Thesis, University of Nottingham, 2004. http://eprints.nottingham.ac.uk/10063/.

Full text
Abstract:
The question of when a child is old enough to be left at home alone, and under what circumstances, is a dilemma faced by many parents and professionals. Adopting a social constructionist perspective of social problems, this thesis explores professional perceptions and policy responses to the issue of children left at home alone since the passing of the Children Act in 1989. The law in England and Wales does not specify an age at which it is deemed safe to leave a child unsupervised at home, a practice sometimes referred to as 'self-care'. Professionals respond to the issue through non-legalistic, more persuasive interventions. The media also plays a role in regulating parenting practices, as demonstrated in the early 1990s, when the British press covered a number of stories involving parents who left their children at 'home alone'. The issue continues to bubble up from time to time, but calls for more specific law to manage the problem have gone unheeded. Drawing on interviews with child welfare professionals and campaigners who work at national level, and on an analysis of policy, campaigning and educational documents, I explore how the issue is constructed, responded to and resisted as a social problem. I conclude that this is an example of an 'unconstructed' social problem because, despite continued public and professional concern, there has been no clear legislative response. Understanding how and why some social problems 'fail' is a key contribution to the literature on the social construction of social problems, which has focused mainly on 'successful' social problems to date.

Kaushik, Alka Rani Electrical Engineering &amp Telecommunications Faculty of Engineering UNSW. "Unobtrusive monitoring of health status of elderly people living alone at home." Publisher:University of New South Wales. Electrical Engineering & Telecommunications, 2008. http://handle.unsw.edu.au/1959.4/40771.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis addresses the hypothesis that unobtrusive monitoring of daily living could be used to evaluate changes in the health status of frail elderly people living alone at home. Low cost motion sensors can be used for monitoring the long term trends in occupant?s well-being in terms of physical, mental, social and environmental factors. The monitored data can be used to quantitatively measure parameters that can provide insight into the level of activity and functional ability of the subject. Any deviations in these parameters can provide information on the changing health status of the subject. This thesis attempts for the first time to establish a mathematical and statistical framework for the monitoring of functional health status in the home using a network of wireless sensors to monitor occupancy in each room of the house. A low power and low cost, unobtrusive occupancy monitoring system using ZigBee wireless technology and passive infrared sensors has been developed by the Biomedical Systems Laboratory at the University of New South Wales. The essence of the occupancy monitoring system is to detect variations in the activities of daily living (ADL) of elderly people living alone at home. The finite state, discrete parameter, time homogeneous Markov chain represents a theoretical framework for an unobtrusive occupancy monitoring system. An implementation of this framework for monitoring occupancy pattern is presented in real time use. The system was evaluated in a series of field studies in laboratory and home environment, in supervised and unsupervised settings, using cohorts of healthy elderly subjects living alone in their homes in community dwelling setting. A pilot trial was conducted in which four healthy elderly subjects living alone had PIR motion sensors installed in their homes at strategic points for a period of up to 13 weeks. The functionality of the system was evaluated over a domain of basic daily activities. A profile of the activities, in real time environment, for different times and days was stored as transition probability matrices. Automatic techniques for interpreting the test data captured by the system in terms of human movements were evaluated and compared with the wellness profile of the subject. Trial results exhibited that clinically significant model parameters were able to detect longitudinal deviations in the functional health status of elderly people.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis studies young people’s transition from living in the parental home into leaving it, with a particular attention at the intentions. The focus of the thesis is on the decision-making process to leave the nest. The aim of this research is to add a quantitative understanding of how the intention contributes to the the realization of this phenomenon. Covariates linked between young people and their parents are introduced in the analysis. Ajzen’s "Theory of Planned Behaviour" is used as theoretical background for the study. The focus is on Italy, using the Italian Gender and Generations Survey (GGS) of 2003 and 2007, as primary data source. A comparison with France, Germany and Poland is made for describing the panorama of intentions. The analysis is presented through the results from a Exponential Regression model and a Competing Risk model. The results show that the higher risk of leaving the parental home are associated with the intention to have a child contributing to leaving the parental home for starting a union. In addition, the risk of leaving the parental home to live alone, is higher for students who plan to attend higher education.

Abstract:
Sweden has the highest number of single households in the world, yet the majority of household appliances are targeted towards other groups. In a society where single households and compact living are becoming increasingly present, the need for targeted products has become more relevant. The purpose of this project was to design a product which addresses these problems, and eases the everyday life of the intended users. The project was executed using several design methods, such as analytical, observational and practical ones, including interviews with a focus group consisting of 15 people. The use of these design methods identified that the biggest sources of concern amongst the target group were those related to the drying of dishes washed by hand, which led to the development of a dish rack with built in dryers. The design of this product was based on the testing of potential technical solutions and feedback from the focus group, resulting in a kitchen appliance that is uniquely adapted to the needs of single households with limited kitchen space. This design was then presented through sketches, virtual 3D models, and a physical prototype.

The social safety net available to veterans is far more robust than for civilians in the United States, however, veterans are still more likely to experience homelessness than their peers. As the number of veterans from the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq continues to increase, it is essential that planners consider whether the housing and homelessness policies designed for past generations meet the needs of today's veterans. This is especially true as today's veterans are more likely to be women, are experiencing more deployments, and are frequently coming from communities and families with limited resources. Historically, policy-makers have provided veterans a range of social benefits, including federally subsidized housing. For example, many public housing projects were originally built for WWII veterans. In addition, since the passage of the Servicemen's Bill of Rights of 1944, veterans have had access to Department of Veterans' Affairs (VA) home loans. In more recent decades, the VA has funded several programs for homeless and at-risk veterans. Using the Pioneer Valley of western Massachusetts as a case study, I explore the experiences of post-9/1 1 veterans and the role of housing during the transition from the military to civilian life. Based on data collected through interviews with veterans and service providers, original survey data, observation of meetings, and analysis of administrative data, I outline the ways in which housing choices and policies contribute to the isolation of veterans from civilians in higher education settings, transitional housing, and in community settings. I argue that current housing policies do not address the social and physical isolation that returning veterans experience and, in some instances, these policies increase the isolation experienced by veterans. In addition, to experiencing isolation from the civilian community, many veterans, especially women veterans, experience isolation from the veteran community. Engagement with veteran service organizations and employment in veteran services helps to reduce this isolation and provides a sense of purpose to both male and female veterans. Finally, I argue for a community lens when considering veteran readjustment, as the resources available to veterans is tied to both their geographic location and social networks.

Wells, Gemma. "Older women as occupational beings : exploring the meanings of occupations within the home environment for older women living alone." Thesis, Canterbury Christ Church University, 2017. http://create.canterbury.ac.uk/16841/.

Full text
Abstract:
There is a discrepancy between the life expectancy of men and women of approximately two and a half years (Taylor Nelson Sofres 2014). This suggests that women are likely to spend a period of time in the latter years of their life living alone. It is anticipated that this will lead to a unique experience of later life for women, which to date has received little attention. This study is concerned with exploring the experience of living alone for 11 women aged 70-80 years from the South East of England. A particular emphasis is placed upon the experience of being an older woman, the activities that they engage in when they are at home alone, and the environment of home as a place for occupational engagement. Influenced by interpretive phenomenology and feminist principles, this study focuses on capturing the lived experiences of the 11 women in their own images and words. To achieve this, the methods of unstructured interviews and photo-elicitation are used. The women in this study describe a predominantly positive experience of living alone in later life. They value being busy, engage in a range of meaningful activities, and maintain their independence in everyday life. They provide compelling evidence that later life is a time for self-growth and development. This appears to link to the decline in the gender related roles and occupations which are expected of them in later life. This indicates that it is essential to provide bespoke support to older women that focuses on prevention of future decline but in a way that values their ongoing abilities.

Full text
Abstract:
Background Many trials in the USA, Canada, Europe and Australia have attempted to evaluate the effectiveness of preventive in-home health assessment and home care programs for older people. Trials have differed widely in their processes, including the dependence levels of subjects, assessment components and locations (clinic/home), intensity of case management (frequency of contact, length of follow-up period, scope of interventions) and methods of case management (telephone/visits). Preventive programs use valuable health resources and, although there has been inconclusive evidence of their effectiveness, programs combining preventive in-home health assessment and home care for older people have been introduced into public policy in Australia and internationally. Ongoing research is therefore essential in order to identify the positive benefits for older people, and establish their effectiveness with regard to health resource utilisation. Purpose The purpose of the study was to maintain the health status of older people living alone in the community by implementing a preventive health assessment and follow-up home care program. Research Design An experimental group was compared with a control group using a cluster randomised controlled trial methodology. Health outcomes were measured pre and post intervention, including health perception, functional ability, psychosocial status, client satisfaction, and health resource utilisation. Population and Sample The population for this study consisted of people aged 75 years and over who lived alone in Independent Living Units within managed retirement facilities, and who were highly independent in their activities of daily living. The final sample totalled 124, comprising of an experimental group (n=61) and a control group (n=63). The sample resided in South East Queensland. Intervention The intervention for the study "A Community Preventive Health Model for over 75s Living Alone" comprised of five major elements: 1) targeting before health and/or social crisis, and while community care needs were low; 2) linking clients with a community nurse; 3) comprehensive health assessments and identification of needs; 4) introduction of basic health care and community services and referrals if required; and 5) case management by three-monthly telephone contact. Assessments and case management were carried out by experienced community care registered nurses, and case management was performed for a one year period. The control group received health assessments and phone calls similar to the experimental group for data collection purposes, and to balance the risk of a Hawthorne effect due to regular contacts with participants. However all aspects of case management were omitted from all episodes of contact with the control group. For ethical reasons control group participants were supplied with a summary of their health assessment results to share with their GP if they wished. Data Collection and Instruments Measures of health perception, functional ability and psychosocial status occurred at two points (baseline and after 12 months). Measures of health resource utilisation, mortality and client satisfaction were measured after twelve months. A combination of several widely-used, valid and reliable instruments, as well as some newly developed data collection tools, were used to measure health outcomes. Data Analysis Independent group t-tests and Chi-square tests were used to examine for baseline differences between the experimental and control groups, and also to analyse health resource utilisation data at Time 2. A series of ANCOVA tests were applied to test the remaining hypotheses, so that the effects of Time 1 scores and potential confounding variables could be incorporated into the analyses. Results The experimental group and control group were homogenous at baseline for all demographic variables and all major outcome variables. The intervention model was applied for one year, with 66% (n = 40) in the experimental group having at least one unmet need identified and appropriate interventions undertaken. Only a small proportion of interventions (16%) were recorded as not being followed through by clients, and the majority (59%) resulted in needs being met or problems resolved. Results showed no benefits were gained from the program after one year for experimental group participants for the outcomes of health perception, functional ability, psychosocial status, health resource utilisation and mortality. However, the experimental group did show a statistically significantly higher level of satisfaction with care. Conclusions Comprehensive assessments performed by Registered Nurses with expertise in gerontology resulted in the identification of previously undetected unmet needs. When comprehensive assessment was combined with low intensity case management for a one year period, higher levels of client satisfaction with care were achieved. Therefore a model involving Registered Nurses with advanced knowledge and experience in aged care, working in collaboration with General Practitioners and community service organisations, could have considerable benefits in identifying unmet needs and improving client satisfaction. However, no client benefit was detected for quality of life outcomes, nor was a reduction in health resource utilisation found. This result from an Australian cohort is consistent with findings from many other international trials (Van Haastregt et al., 2000). It is possible that methodological issues are masking the effect of the intervention. Are we measuring appropriate outcomes? Are we expecting long-term outcomes in short time frames? Are we applying the model appropriately across a diverse older population? Further research to explore these questions is recommended for the future.

Abstract:
Abstract The Kenyan photovoltaic industry has been growing steadily in recent years. Since 1990 more than 2.5 megawatts of photovoltaic capacity have been sold in Kenya and 60% of these sales have gone into home systems as part of new energy supplies. The demand for energy in Kenya exceeds the supply and for this reason renewable energy is regarded a priority in the energy sector. A solution to this problem lies in four areas: technology development, environmental protection, energy economics and socio-cultural adjustments. This paper discusses the state of current research and applications of stand-alone building-integrated PV home systems by looking at the possibilities and limitations in this developing country. Houses need a PV panel-surface area of about 36m2 to meet basic energy needs.

Full text
Abstract:
The learning crisis in developing countries is increasingly acknowledged (World Bank, 2018). The UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) include goals and targets for universal learning and the World Bank has adopted a goal of eliminating learning poverty. We use student level PISA-D results for seven countries (Cambodia, Ecuador, Guatemala, Honduras, Paraguay, Senegal, and Zambia) to examine inequality in learning outcomes at the global, country, and student level for public school students. We examine learning inequality using five dimensions of potential social disadvantage measured in PISA: sex, rurality, home language, immigrant status, and socio-economic status (SES)—using the PISA measure of ESCS (Economic, Social, and Cultural Status) to measure SES. We document four important facts. First, with the exception of Ecuador, less than a third of the advantaged (male, urban, native, home speakers of the language of instruction) and ESCS elite (plus 2 standard deviations above the mean) children enrolled in public schools in PISA-D countries reach the SDG minimal target of PISA level 2 or higher in mathematics (with similarly low levels for reading and science). Even if learning differentials of enrolled students along all five dimensions of disadvantage were eliminated, the vast majority of children in these countries would not reach the SDG minimum targets. Second, the inequality in learning outcomes of the in-school children who were assessed by the PISA by household ESCS is mostly smaller in these less developed countries than in OECD or high-performing non-OECD countries. If the PISA-D countries had the same relationship of learning to ESCS as Denmark (as an example of a typical OECD country) or Vietnam (a high-performing developing country) their enrolled ESCS disadvantaged children would do worse, not better, than they actually do. Third, the disadvantages in learning outcomes along four characteristics: sex, rurality, home language, and being an immigrant country are absolutely large, but still small compared to the enormous gap between the advantaged, ESCS average students, and the SDG minimums. Given the massive global inequalities, remediating within-country inequalities in learning, while undoubtedly important for equity and justice, leads to only modest gains towards the SDG targets. Fourth, even including both public and private school students, there are strikingly few children in PISA-D countries at high levels of performance. The absolute number of children at PISA level 4 or above (reached by roughly 30 percent of OECD children) in the low performing PISA-D countries is less than a few thousand individuals, sometimes only a few hundred—in some subjects and countries just double or single digits. These four hard lessons from PISA-D reinforce the need to address global equity by “raising the floor” and targeting low learning levels (Crouch and Rolleston, 2017; Crouch, Rolleston, and Gustafsson, 2020). As Vietnam and other recent successes show, this can be done in developing country settings if education systems align around learning to improve the effectiveness of the teaching and learning processes to improve early learning of foundational skills.

Full text
Abstract:
To deliver infrastructure that sustain our communities, economy, and environment, we must innovate, modernize, and even revolutionize our approach to infrastructure development. Change takes courage, but as one starts down the path of innovation, what was once novel becomes more familiar, more established. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is walking this path with our partners through the Engineering With Nature (EWN) Initiative, integrating human engineering with natural systems. The International Guidelines on Natural and Nature-Based Features for Flood Risk Management are the next step toward revolutionary infrastructure development—a set of real-world guidelines to help familiarize us with what was once novel. USACE and collaborators around the world have been building, learning, and documenting the best practices for constructing Natural and Nature-Based Features (NNBF) for decades. The consolidation of these lessons into a single guidance document gives decision-makers and practitioners a much-needed resource to pursue, consider, and apply NNBF for flood risk management while expanding value through infrastructure. Relationships and partnerships are vital ingredients for innovation and progress. The NNBF Guidelines was achieved because of the strong relationships in the nature-based engineering community. The magnitude and diversity of contributors to the NNBF Guidelines have resulted in a robust resource that provides value beyond a single agency, sector, or nation. Similarly, the work of incorporating NNBF into projects will require us to strengthen our relationships across organizations, mandates, and missions to achieve resilient communities. I hope you are inspired by the collaborative achievement of the NNBF Guidelines and will draw from this resource to develop innovative solutions to current and future flood risk management challenges. There is a lot we can achieve together along the path of revolutionary infrastructure development.

Cooper, Christopher, Jacob McDonald, and Eric Starkey. Wadeable stream habitat monitoring at Congaree National Park: 2018 baseline report. National Park Service, June 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.36967/nrr-2286621.

Full text
Abstract:
The Southeast Coast Network (SECN) Wadeable Stream Habitat Monitoring Protocol collects data to give park resource managers insight into the status of and trends in stream and near-channel habitat conditions (McDonald et al. 2018a). Wadeable stream monitoring is currently implemented at the five SECN inland parks with wadeable streams. These parks include Horseshoe Bend National Military Park (HOBE), Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park (KEMO), Ocmulgee Mounds National Historical Park (OCMU), Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area (CHAT), and Congaree National Park (CONG). Streams at Congaree National Park chosen for monitoring were specifically targeted for management interest (e.g., upstream development and land use change, visitor use of streams as canoe trails, and potential social walking trail erosion) or to provide a context for similar-sized stream(s) within the park or network (McDonald and Starkey 2018a). The objectives of the SECN wadeable stream habitat monitoring protocol are to: Determine status of upstream watershed characteristics (basin morphology) and trends in land cover that may affect stream habitat, Determine the status of and trends in benthic and near-channel habitat in selected wadeable stream reaches (e.g., bed sediment, geomorphic channel units, and large woody debris), Determine the status of and trends in cross-sectional morphology, longitudinal gradient, and sinuosity of selected wadeable stream reaches. Between June 11 and 14, 2018, data were collected at Congaree National Park to characterize the in-stream and near-channel habitat within stream reaches on Cedar Creek (CONG001, CONG002, and CONG003) and McKenzie Creek (CONG004). These data, along with the analysis of remotely sensed geographic information system (GIS) data, are presented in this report to describe and compare the watershed-, reach-, and transect-scale characteristics of these four stream reaches to each other and to selected similar-sized stream reaches at Ocmulgee Mounds National Historical Park, Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park, and Chattahoochee National Recreation Area. Surveyed stream reaches at Congaree NP were compared to those previously surveyed in other parks in order to provide regional context and aid in interpretation of results. edar Creek’s watershed (CONG001, CONG002, and CONG003) drains nearly 200 square kilometers (77.22 square miles [mi2]) of the Congaree River Valley Terrace complex and upper Coastal Plain to the north of the park (Shelley 2007a, 2007b). Cedar Creek’s watershed has low slope and is covered mainly by forests and grasslands. Cedar Creek is designated an “Outstanding Resource Water” by the state of South Carolina (S.C. Code Regs. 61–68 [2014] and S.C. Code Regs. 61–69 [2012]) from the boundary of the park downstream to Wise Lake. Cedar Creek ‘upstream’ (CONG001) is located just downstream (south) of the park’s Bannister Bridge canoe landing, which is located off Old Bluff Road and south of the confluence with Meyers Creek. Cedar Creek ‘middle’ and Cedar Creek ‘downstream’ (CONG002 and CONG003, respectively) are located downstream of Cedar Creek ‘upstream’ where Cedar Creek flows into the relatively flat backswamp of the Congaree River flood plain. Based on the geomorphic and land cover characteristics of the watershed, monitored reaches on Cedar Creek are likely to flood often and drain slowly. Flooding is more likely at Cedar Creek ‘middle’ and Cedar Creek ‘downstream’ than at Cedar Creek ‘upstream.’ This is due to the higher (relative to CONG001) connectivity between the channels of the lower reaches and their out-of-channel areas. Based on bed sediment characteristics, the heterogeneity of geomorphic channel units (GCUs) within each reach, and the abundance of large woody debris (LWD), in-stream habitat within each of the surveyed reaches on Cedar Creek (CONG001–003) was classified as ‘fair to good.’ Although, there is extensive evidence of animal activity...
