Abstract:
Immigrant youth navigate a number of environments. Oftentimes these young people find themselves in between two spaces: one environment where they have to act a specific way in order to fit in with their peers and another environment where they can truly be themselves because there is a shared sense of culture with their peers. The following essay provides a glimpse into the life of one young person as she navigates what she refers to as a “split reality.” Highlighting experiences around use of language and religion, this essay provides insightful perspectives for youth development practitioners.

Abstract:
The great advancements in technology are transforming cars into the next digital frontier, redefining people’s lifestyle around mobility. The thesis intended to push further on this trend, exploring new interaction paradigms and creating delightful experiences in future self-driving vehicles. With a cross-discipline scope, the formula is to blend digital information into physical form and material, blurring the boundary between the car’s interior and interface. As the conclusion, I learned that a constant harmony between virtual and physical world is the key for designers to create natural and intuitive experiences with technology. The final result is an autonomous interior concept with multi-sensory user experiences. The core interface, as the physical manifestation of the car’s artificial intelligence, interact with users emotionally, offering its amazing capability in assistance. The in-car environment is evolved with sensors and displays, providing intuitive access to dedicated functions and immersive content.

Organismos vivos têm seus próprios meios de locomoção e são capazes de se reproduzir. Além disto, o habitat no qual os organismos estão inseridos é tipicamente heterogêneo, de modo que as condições ambientais variam no tempo e no espaço. Nesta tese, são propostos e investigados modelos teóricos para compreender o comportamento coletivo de organismos vivos, visando responder questões relevantes sobre a organização e preservação da população utilizando técnicas analíticas e numéricas. Inicialmente, considerando um habitat homogêneo, em que as propriedades estatísticas das condições ambientais são independentes do tempo e do espaço, estudamos como padrões espaço-temporais podem emergir na distribuição da população devido a interações não-locais e investigamos o papel das flutuações ambientais neste processo. Em seguida, assumindo um meio ambiente heterogêneo, analisamos o caso de um único domínio de habitat. Considerando uma classe de equações não lineares, introduzindo flutuações temporais e interações entre os organismos, fornecemos uma perspectiva geral da estabilidade de populações neste caso, desafiando os conceitos ecológicos anteriores. Em um segundo passo, assumindo uma paisagem complexa fragmentada, consideramos que os indivíduos têm acesso a informações sobre a estrutura espacial do meio. Mostramos que os indivíduos sobrevivem quando as regiões espaciais viáveis estão suficientemente aglomeradas e observamos que o tamanho da população é maximizado quando os indivíduos utilizam parcialmente a informação do meio ambiente. Finalmente, como resultados exatos analíticos não são factíveis em muitas situações importantes, propomos uma abordagem efetiva para interpretar os dados experimentais. Assim, somos capazes de conectar a heterogeneidade do ambiente e a persistência da população, caracterizada pela distribuição de probabilidade para os tempos de vida.
Living entities have their own means of locomotion and are capable of reproduction. Furthermore, the habitat in which organisms are embedded is typically heterogeneous, such that environment conditions vary in time and space. In this thesis, theoretical models to understand the collective dynamics of living beings have been proposed and investigated aiming to address relevant questions such as population organization and persistence in the environment, using analytical and numerical techniques. Initially, considering an homogeneous habitat, in which the statistical properties of the environmental conditions are time and space independent, we study how spatiotemporal order can emerge in the population distribution due to nonlocal interactions and investigate the role of environment fluctuations in the self-organization process. Further, we continue our investigation assuming an heterogeneous environment, starting with the simplest case of a single habitat domain, and we obtain the critical conditions for population survival for different population dynamics. Considering a class of nonlinear equations, introducing temporal oscillations and interactions among the organisms, we are able to provide a general picture of population stability in a single habitat domain, challenging previous ecological concepts. At last, assuming a fragmented complex landscape, resembling realistic properties observed in nature, we additionally assume that individuals have access to information about the spatial structure. We show that individuals survive when patches of viable regions are clustered enough and, counter-intuitively, observe that population size is maximized when individuals have partial information about the habitat. Finally, since, analytical exact results are not feasible in many important situations, we propose an effective approach to interpret experimental data. This way we are able to connect environment heterogeneity and population persistence.

Abstract:
In the field of exercise science there exists no single best method, or tool, for the measurement of physical activity, in particular, activity in everyday free-living conditions. The pedometer, a tool for recording the number of steps taken by an individual, could potentially measure this important component of free-living physical activity. To establish the reliability and validity of the pedometer, 40 subjects wore two pedometers (same brand) in two consecutive I 0-minute trials during normal daily activity. Both trials were videotaped. Each videotape segment was replayed, the number of steps were counted and this count served as the criterion measure of steps. In order to evaluate the reliability of the criterion measure the researcher recounted ten of the forty trials a second time and performed an intraclass reliability estimate and follow-up ANOVA comparing the two separate counts. This yielded an intra-observer reliability estimate of R=0.99 (F=l .36, p=.27). Data analyses included trial-to-trial comparisons of pedometer recordings, left-toright comparisons of pedometer recordings, and comparisons of pedometer recordings to the established criterion scores. Results of trial-to-trial comparisons yielded intraclass reliability estimates of R=0.87 (F=l .51, p=.23) for the left side pedometer and R=0.90 (F=.97, p=.33) for the right side pedometer; no significant differences were found. Estimates of pedometer consistency (left versus right pedometer) yielded a correlation ofR=0.96, with follow-up ANOVA (F=6.46 and p=.02) indicating significant differences between left and right side pedometers. Comparisons of pedometers to the established criterion scores (validity) yielded correlations ofR=0.84 (F=l .85, p=.18) for the left pedometer and R=O. 79 (F=S. 71, p=.02) for the right pedometer. Follow-up ANOVA indicated a significant difference between pedometer and criterion scores for the right pedometer but not the left. Under the conditions of this study, the pedometer worn at the waist level directly above the left leg provided reliable and valid measures of walking steps taken during typical everyday activities. The pedometer worn on the right side of the body underestimated the number of steps taken. Further research on the influence of leg dominance, surface, shoe type, pedometer brand, and gait is needed.

Abstract:
A Living Lab is a new way to deal with community-driven innovation in real-life contexts. The Living Lab concept is fuelled by knowledge sharing, collaboration and experimenting in open real environments. This research explores the sustainable development of community Living Labs within a South African context. The members of rural communities need sustainable development support in order to create jobs and alleviate poverty. In order to do so they need an open multidisciplinary research and systems thinking support environment which is facilitated in the Living Lab environment. The Living Lab approach provides its user group with an opportunity to develop a much deeper understanding of how the various components in their functional environment operate and interrelate. In the research community the Living Lab concept seems to be gaining increasing acceptance as a way to deal with innovation and to get insight into the innovation process. Several Living Labs are currently connected in a network of Living Labs, both in Europe and in South Africa aiming to share best practices and lessons learned. Creating an innovative software based management model for Living Labs for the greater South African region is also part of the research objectives. This paper presents two interrelated frameworks for the establishment of a Living Lab within a South African context. The paper also highlights the important role of holistic Systems thinking in a Living Lab environment.

Dong, Hongwei. Can Californian Households Save Money on Transportation Costs by Living in Transit-Oriented Developments (TODs)? Mineta Transportation Institute, 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.31979/mti.2022.2012.

Full text
Abstract:
Many residents in large Californian metropolitan areas are heavily burdened by housing costs. Advocates, researchers, and elected officials in California are debating whether transit-oriented development (TOD) could be an effective tool to mitigate the housing affordability problem by increasing housing supply and reducing transportation costs in transit-rich neighborhoods. This study contributes to this debate by estimating how much Californian families can save on transportation costs by living in transit-oriented developments (TODs). By utilizing the confidential version of the 2010–2012 California Household Travel Survey, this study evaluates the impact of TOD on household transportation expenditures by comparing TOD households with two control groups. When controlling for household demographics, TOD households save $1,232 per year on transportation expenditures—18% of their total annual transportation expenditures. When controlling for both demographics and neighborhood environment, TOD households save $429 per year—about 6% of their total annual transportation expenditures. The study confirms that Californian households save money on transportation costs by living in TODs mainly because they own fewer vehicles. About two-thirds of the savings can be attributed to transit-friendly neighborhood environment and one-third to access to rail transit, which highlights the importance of integrating a rail transit system with supportive land use planning and neighborhood design.

Abstract:
Review question / Objective: Cerebral palsy (CP) is a non-progressive, persistent syndrome occurring in the brain of the fetus or infant[1]. The prevalence of CP is 0.2% worldwide, and the prevalence can increase to 20-30 times in preterm or low birth weight newborns. There are about 6 million children with CP in China, and the number is increasing at a rate of 45,000 per year. Virtual reality (VR) refers to a virtual environment that is generated by a computer and can be interacted with.VR can mobilize the visual, auditory, tactile and kinesthetic organs of CP, so that they can actively participate in the rehabilitation exercise. Information sources: Two researchers searched 5 databases, including Pubmed (N=82), Embase (N=191), The Cochrane Library (N=147), Web of Science (N=359) and CNKI (N=11).

Abstract:
This Emerging Issue Report (EIR) explores research and evidence on the relationship between education, girls’ education and climate change. There is scientific consensus that climate change is real, manifested through increasing temperatures, changing rainfall patterns and increasing frequency and severity of extreme weather events, including drought, flooding and cyclones. Climate change, environmental degradation and climate vulnerability are closely linked. Climate change exacerbates environmental and land degradation, especially in areas with drylands and permafrost, river deltas and low-lying coastal areas. There is high confidence that people living in areas affected by environmental degradation are experiencing an increase in the negative effects of climate change. Gender, alongside other drivers of vulnerability and exclusion, is a key determinant of an individual’s vulnerability to the effects of climate change and environmental degradation and influences how climate change is experienced. It is estimated that at least 200 million adolescent girls living in the poorest communities face a heightened risk from the effects of climate change. Evidence and commentary on the role of education, and girls’ education, to address climate change through adaptation, resilience and mitigation is limited, albeit growing. This EIR identifies and summarises the evidence and key commentary around the following themes: links between education, particularly girls’ education, and climate change; how climate and environment matter for achieving gender equality; and why securing girls’ education is an important strategy in addressing climate change. The EIR draws on academic research and literature from low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), as well as policy frameworks and grey literature, media articles and blogs from the climate, education and gender fields.

Abstract:
The objective of the Autonomous Transport Innovation (ATI) technical research program is to investigate current gaps and challenges and develop solutions to integrate emerging electric transport vehicles, vehicle autonomy, vehicle-to-grid (V2G) charging and microgrid technologies with military legacy equipment. The ATI research area objectives are to: identify unique military requirements for autonomous transportation technologies; identify currently available technologies that can be adopted for military applications and validate the suitability of these technologies to close need gaps; identify research and operational tests for autonomous transport vehicles; investigate requirements for testing and demonstrating of bidirectional-vehicle charging within a tactical environment; develop requirements for a sensored, living laboratory that will be used to assess the performance of autonomous innovations; and integrate open standards to promote interoperability and broad-platform compatibility. This final report summarizes the team’s research, which resulted in an approach to develop a sensored, living laboratory with operational testing capability to assess the safety, utility, interoperability, and resiliency of autonomous electric transport and V2G technologies in a tactical microgrid. The living laboratory will support research and assessment of emerging technologies and determine the prospect for implementation in defense transport operations and contingency base energy resilience.

Abstract:
The goal of fire service training is to prepare students for the conditions and challenges that they face on the fireground. Among the challenges that firefighters routinely face on the fireground are ventilation-controlled fires. The hazard of these fires has been highlighted by several line-of-duty deaths and injuries in which a failure to understand the fire dynamics produced by these fires has been a contributing factor. The synthetic fuels that commonly fill contemporary homes tend to result in ventilation-controlled conditions. While synthetic fuels are common on the residential fireground, the fuels that firefighters use for fire training are more often representative of natural, wood-based fuels. In order to better understand the fire dynamics of these training fires, a series of experiments was conducted in a concrete live fire training building in an effort to evaluate the fidelity and safety of two training fuels, pallets and OSB, and compare the fire dynamics created by these fuels to those created by a fuel load representative of a living room set with furniture items with a synthetic components. Additionally, the effects of the concrete live fire training building on the fire dynamics were examined. The two training fuel loads were composed of wooden pallets and straw, and pallets, straw, and oriented strand board (OSB). The results indicated that the high leakage area of the concrete live fire training building relative to the fuel load prevented the training fuel packages from becoming ventilation-controlled and prevented the furniture package from entering a state of oxygen-depleted decay. The furniture experiments progressed to flashover once ventilation was provided. Under the conditions tested, the wood based fuels, combined with the construction features of this concrete live fire training building, limited the ability to teach ventilation-controlled fire behavior and the associated firefighting techniques. Additionally, it was shown that the potential for thermal injury to firefighters participating in a training evolution existed well below thresholds where firefighter PPE would be damaged.
