Abstract:
Food sovereignty is about the right to healthy food and the right to have control over one’s food. This article examines opportunities and challenges in the efforts of Feast Down East (FDE), a local food systems movement in Southeastern North Carolina, to develop a food sovereignty program linking limited resource consumers and growers in an effort to provide access to healthy, affordable, and culturally appropriate foods in a low-income community. Several FDE initiatives attempt to address common problems in limited resource communities, such as food insecurity, food access, and knowledge about healthy food preparation. “Fresh markets,” which are run by low-income consumers and sell affordable produce, link limited resource farmers to urban, low-income public housing neighborhoods. Nutrition and cooking classes are offered at the market sites, and recipes are distributed at the point of sale. FDE’s Food Sovereignty Program also partners with other organizations, such as Food Corps to raise awareness about healthy eating in schools, and two local nonprofits to provide fresh produce boxes to low-income residents. Surveys of 16 program participants conducted by extension leaders indicate increases in food security, healthy eating habits, and physical activity among participants. Semistructured interviews with four community resident leaders illuminate some of the barriers of neighborhood effects and other challenges in cultivating food sovereignty, such as living conditions, politics of place, and broader inequalities. Additional initiatives that address food sovereignty in limited resource communities are needed as a means of expanding access and gaining additional knowledge about challenges in doing so.

Abstract:
Local Ecological Knowledge (LEK) regarding local food plants is knowledge that is owned by local communities and is passed down from generation to generation. LED is obtained through a long process of adaptation and is used by local communities to address environmental problems. The Kabola ethnic group also has LEK regarding food plants used to solve food problems on dry land, but the LEK owned by the Kabola ethnic community is in danger of being lost. The method used is a mixed method (Mixed Methodology), which combines qualitative methods and quantitative methods, data collection begins with an exploration using a qualitative case study method by means of in-depth interviews followed by a quantitative survey method of the plant species mentioned during the interview. The results showed that the Kabola ethnic group still collects wild food plants from forests, former gardens and riverbanks, even though they have cultivated various types of food crops; The Kabola ethnic group community collects food plants during the rainy season and dry season, but most food gathering activities are carried out at the end of the rainy season and during the dry season; The people of the Kabola ethnic group collect food by using simple tools while leaving certain parts of the plant from which the food is collected; The people of the Kabola ethnic group still pass on local knowledge about foodstuffs to the younger generation through stories, personal experiences and providing examples or direct practices about plants that can be used to meet food needs; The Kabola ethnic group cultivates local food plants, but these cultivation efforts are only carried out individually and have not received support from the local government.

Abstract Objectives The purpose of this research is two-fold: first, we have surveyed food pantry participants to assess their knowledge and selection of probiotic-containing foods; and second, we have evaluated and compared the availability and viability of probiotic cultures in the cheese and yogurts available at a local food pantry, in a retail market, and in fresh, homemade food products. Methods This study examined the availability, awareness, and usage of probiotic-containing food by food pantry participants. The study consisted of two parts. The first part examined the awareness and usage of probiotic foods by the food pantry participants that were evaluated by a validated survey. The survey was conducted with participants from four different food pantries in Wisconsin in September-October 2017. Survey data were analyzed by using the Statistical Program for Social Sciences (SPSS, version 24.0, 2016, SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL). Descriptive statistics, t-tests, and Pearson Chi-Squared analyses were used to examine the awareness and usage of probiotics by the participants. The second part analyzed the viability of probiotic bacteria in various kinds of yogurt and cheese available in a local food pantry as well as store-bought, high-quality cheese and yogurt, and homemade yogurt in the laboratory. Lactobacillus app. in the cheese and yogurt samples were isolated by MRS agar. The special formula was used to calculate the number of Lactobacillus app. in the samples. Results The results show 82.9% of survey participants (n = 205) reported that they heard the word probiotics, but only 44% of those are knowledgeable on probiotics. Importantly, knowledge of probiotics correlates to increased consumption of yogurt but not pickles and cheese. Lactobacillus viability did not vary significantly between expensive and cheap yogurt brands but was absent in processed yogurt and cheese. Conclusions Probiotics could be found in the food pantries but only in a limited quantity and frequency. Thus, nutrition education and interventions are needed to educate the food pantry directors on the importance of probiotic foods, especially dairy products. Also, there is a need to educate food pantry participants about probiotics. Funding Sources Student Research Grant; Research Services, University of Wisconsin-Stout.

Abstract:
Local-food-based complementary feeding (LFBCF) practice may be an important approach in the growth and development of children aged 6 to 24 months. This study aimed to describe potential barriers in implementing local food-based complementary feeding practices among mothers in Banyuasin regency, Indonesia. A qualitative study was conducted by using 24 semi-structured interviews and a focus group discussion. Participants were 24 mothers with children aged 6 to 24 months in Banyuasin Regency, Indonesia that recruited purposively. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis. The majority of the mothers were 20-30 years old. All participants have implemented LFBCF practice because local food ingredients are easy to find locally at an affordable price. Community cadres assisted village midwives in integrated health post service such as disseminating information concerning local food recipes and facilitating information exchange among mothers regarding complementary feeding practice. Three main emerged themes identified from this study were: mother's knowledge about local food recipes, mother's knowledge about healthy complementary food preparation, child-eating behavior. Improving the nutritional status of children starts with the family by motivating mothers to provide complementary foods, which also requires the support of local cadres.

Abstract:
Urban and reserve-based First Nation families in southern Ontario frequently experience food insecurity as well as more limited access to traditional, more nutrient dense foods from the local environment. Healthy Roots was initiated in the community of Six Nations to promote traditional food consumption. A small number of participants eating only locally available foods reported better-controlled blood glucose, positive weight change and increased traditional food knowledge. New relationships and partnerships were also developed. Our Sustenance, a community organization that was responsible for the local farmers market, community gardens, good food box program, and other community programs, joined the Healthy Roots Committee to continue advancing the knowledge and activation of the community-based initiatives such as the development of a Haudenosaunee Food Guide. Healthy Roots may serve as a model and inspiration to other Indigenous communities looking to reconnect to their local environments and Indigenous lifeways to promote Indigenous foodways and well-being.

Abstract:
Research with local farmers and local food consumers in the North Texas area which captures a contemporary understanding of the challenges and successes present in North Texas local farm-and-food networks. Through ethnographic research methods, including participant-observation and semi-structured interviews, the network of producers and consumers around several farmers' markets were evaluated to understand where the strengths of local food lie, and where networks need development to promote a more stable local food environment. Texas is newer to the trend of farmers' market development, with the local food system developed to foster community, educate, and promote the advantages of locally sourced goods. This research led to the academic discovery of climate adaptive ecological knowledge and farm commodification strategies; which are tools that farmers may use to build greater defense against threats to a farm's livelihood.

Abstract:
This thesis explores if and how an alternative certification system for agricultural products, the Participatory Guarantee System (PGS), could support small-scale farmers to preserve and promote biocultural and food heritage, linked to the landscape they inhabit, their identity as farmers and traditional knowledge. The PGS has been identified by Slow Food as an efficient low-cost and local 'bottom-up' quality assurance system, in order to develop their Presidia project and to re-embed agricultural productions within their traditional socio-ecological contexts. Small-holder farmers all over the world encounter problems in accessing conventional certification systems because of their complexity and strict quality compliance standards, which tend to marginalize this category of producers. I have critically analyzed the extent to which actors and stakeholders agree with the PGS core principles and if, and how, a well-formulated PGS certification can be regarded as a democratic process which fulfils its broader goals. In order to re-structure society from an agri-food perspective, towards a more democratic governance, the core problem lays in how standards and certifications are formed, assessed and applied. The crux of this study is to examine the degree to which a different type of governance, such as the PGS, can induce democratic and participatory methods of food certification. I have conducted semi-structured interviews with various local actors who belong to the social field of alternative food productions underneath the umbrella of Slow Food. Here I investigate the social dimension, the debate and comprehension of the PGS, and the concept of Governmentality by Foucault, as applied to Presidia. In the thesis I show that the PGS provide social benefits to local communities that undergo this certification process. The PGS is able to contribute to the creation of solidarity among actors within the food system, designing a transparent certification system against the logic of commodification.

Abstract:
The Mackenzie River Delta is an ecologically rich freshwater environment in Canada’s Northwest Territories. It is vulnerable to multiple stressors such as climate change, resource development activities (oil and natural gas) and upstream-downstream linkages related to extraction activities in the southern part of the Mackenzie River watershed. Resultant socio-ecological impacts affect fishing livelihoods, which represent a significant component of the country food system and ways of life for Inuvialuit (Inuit of the Western Arctic), whose Settlement Area overlaps with the Delta. This thesis analyzes the implications of socio-ecological changes in the Mackenzie River Delta for Inuvialuit fishing livelihoods and the country food system, drawing from Local and Traditional Knowledge. In collaboration with the Fisheries Joint Management Committee in the Inuvialuit Settlement Region, the westernmost Inuit region in Canada, I undertook a participatory-qualitative research, while also drawing on relevant literature and complementary data. Using 28 semi-structured interviews about changes in the Mackenzie River Delta and the importance of fishing livelihoods, results indicated that fishing livelihoods are essential contributors to the Inuvialuit food system, as well as cultural practices surrounding fishing as an activity. Moreover, some results imply the importance of previously ignored species for food security, such as burbot and inconnu, which receive limited attention in other studies. Key findings also indicate that multiple environmental changes are occurring in the Delta, including lower water levels, increasing land erosion, decreasing fish populations, and changes in Delta-reliant wildlife populations (e.g. more beavers), warmer water temperatures, poorer fish quality (e.g. softer flesh, parasites), thinner ice, climate variability, and an escalating cost of living. These changes affect primarily fishing access and raise important concerns about the safety of fish consumption for human health. Ultimately, limited access and declining fish quality have a negative impact on food security, given the key role of fish in the country food system and the importance of socio-cultural dimensions such as fishing knowledge and skills, and sharing practices.

Abstract:
The local food movement has become a prominent force in the U.S. food market, as represented by the explosive expansion of direct-to-consumer (DTC) marketplaces across the country. Concurrent with the expansion of these DTC marketplaces has been the development of the social ideal of localism: a political and ethical paradigm that valorizes artisanal production and smallness, vilifies globalization, and seeks to recapture a sense of place and community that has been lost under the alienating conditions of capitalism’s gigantism. Supporters of localism understand the movement to be a substantial political and economic threat to global capitalism, and ascribe distinct, counter-hegemonic attributes to localized consumption and production. However, critics argue that localism lacks the political imagination and economic power to meaningfully challenge global capitalism, and that it merely represents an elite form of petite bourgeois consumption. While scholars have debated this issue feverishly, there is a dearth of empirical cases measuring whether or not actual local consumers understand their local consumption within the political and ethical frame of localism, leaving much of the discussion in the realm of esoteric theorizing. This study seeks to uncover whether or not local consumers interpret their local consumption habits within localism’s moral framework by using an original survey instrument to gather primary data, and conducting an exploratory quantitative inquiry.

Abstract:
The USDA Economic Research Service shows that 17.7% of Pinal County residents are living in poverty. Pinal County Cooperative Extension offers a Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and an Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP) to low-income residents. Through their nutrition education programs, they encourage participants to purchase fresh foods from different locations. Typically, locally grown or locally produced foods are much fresher than imported foods. Local food also preserves open space, reduces food miles, and can support a more diverse and sustainable environment. Research shows that when shopping for their groceries, low-income consumers tend to shop at discount centers and supercenters where prices are lower than alternative locations. Research also shows that low-income SNAP participants who shop at discount centers and supercenters purchase less fresh foods than SNAP participants who shop at alternative locations. This study was created to answer the question, "How does knowledge of environment sustainability affect the purchase of local food in low-income consumers participating in nutrition education programs in Pinal County, Arizona?". The results of surveys suggested there is an association between the behavior of buying locally grown food and a participant's knowledge of environmental sustainability.

The study aimed to analyze the processes of food security and conservation of plant genetic resources in agroecosystems in the border region in the “Alto Rio Solimões”. To this end, sought to characterize the different landscapes in family units, identify the work processes used in production systems for plant genetic resources conservation sites, in addition to listing the products consumed in the diet and used for obtaining monetary income. The study it was in the locality named “Nova Aliança”, in the municipality of Benjamin Constant, AM. As adopted theoretical referential methodological strategy the dialectic of complexity, with the intervention of the field design case study. In the agroecosystems in“Nova Aliança” is a recursive association with the environmental system and knowledge transmitted reproduce and rebuilt generationally by the residents and by express structural coupling process. Work on agroecosystems is based primarily on the social group formed by the family in whose organization is seated the collectivist practice of reciprocity, seeking to make your social reproduction. The residents produce and reproduce the agricultural diversity in agroecosystems to achieve the maintenance of family unity. The channels of obtaining food via work on agroecosystems and reciprocal relations, by residents of “Nova Aliança”, are a durable and transposable arrangements system integrated with know.Unitas Multiplex System complexity of food emerges from the reciprocity between the established by real, with multifunctional characteristics, organization and interactions themselves, since emergencies. The forms of production adopted correspond to agriculture integrators systems to various ecosystems accessed. This is because the organization of agroecosystems presented by the conjunction of terrestrial and aquatic. And environments and are presented as a set of expressions of knowledge and differentiated knowledge resulting from the use, management and conservation of places, cultivated species and the material and immaterial culture in Its living practice, and for it, resulting from the common life experience of the Kokama people.
O estudo teve por objetivo analisar os processos de segurança alimentar e conservação dos recursos genéticos vegetais nos agroecossistemas na região de fronteira no Alto Rio Solimões. Para tanto, buscou-se caracterizar as diferentes paisagens nas unidades familiares, identificar os processos de trabalho utilizados nos sistemas produtivos para conservação dos recursos genéticos vegetais locais, além de listar os produtos consumidos na dieta alimentar e os utilizados para obtenção de renda monetária. O estudo foi realizado na localidade denominada Nova Aliança, no município de Benjamin Constant, AM. Adotou-se, como referencial teórico da estratégia metodológica, a dialética da complexidade, tendo como delineamento de intervenção de campo o Estudo de Caso. Nos agroecossistemas em Nova Aliança, ocorre uma associação recursiva com o sistema ambiental e os saberes transmitidos são reproduzidos e reconstruídos geracionalmente por manifestarem o processo de acoplamento estrutural. O trabalho nos agroecossistemas apoia-se, fundamentalmente, no grupo social formado pela família em cuja organização está assentada a prática coletivista de reciprocidade, buscando viabilizar sua reprodução social. Os moradores produzem e reproduzem a diversidade agrícola nos agroecossistemas para viabilizar a manutenção da unidade familiar. Os canais de obtenção de alimentos via trabalho nos agroecossistemas e relações de reciprocidade, pelos moradores de Nova Aliança, apresentam-se como um sistema de disposições duráveis e transponíveis integradas ao saber. A complexidade do Sistema Unitas Multiplex da comida emerge da reciprocidade entre o estabelecido pelo real, com características multifuncionais, organização e interações próprias, desde emergências.

Abstract:
Ce travail décrit les processus de production des savoirs locaux sur le manioc et leurs modes d’apprentissage et circulation par les paysans centrafricains, lesquels se confrontent à l’exécution des politiques publiques agricoles et agroalimentaires du pays. Les savoirs locaux sur le manioc constituent un ensemble de techniques et de savoir-faire construits et acquis par les paysans à travers des apprentissages qui mettent en interaction des acteurs appartenant à des mondes sociaux différents. Mes recherches s’appuient sur des enquêtes de terrain multi-situées, à Pissa, à Yaloké et à Sibut, et sur une expérience d’observation participante aux travaux agricoles et à l’apprentissage du « savoir-cultiver » qui m’ont conduit à identifier des changements socio-économiques et des mutations de connaissances induits par l’émergence de ces savoirs paysans. Ceux-ci sont des connaissances hybrides construites selon les contextes sociaux, économiques et agro-écologiques en interactions avec les savoirs scientifiques diffusés en milieu paysan. Les transferts de savoirs technico-scientifiques portés par les projets de production du manioc conduisent les agriculteurs à des réinterprétations qui adaptent les informations reçues à leurs besoins. L’exemple des pratiques de bouturages précoces et tardives comme techniques adaptatives aux changements climatiques invite à repenser la question de la considération des savoirs paysans par les scientifiques en termes de savoirs sociaux répondant aux besoins des agriculteurs
This work describes the production processes of local knowledge on cassava and their learning styles and circulation by Central African farmers, who are confronted with the implementation of agricultural policy and food of the country. Local knowledge on cassava are a set of techniques and know-how acquired and built by farmers through learning that highlight interaction of the actors belonging to different social worlds. My research is based on multi-located field surveys to Pissa at Yaloké and Sibut, and participant observation of experience in farm work and learning "know-grow" that led me to identify socio-economic changes and knowledge of mutations induced by the emergence of farming knowledge. These are hybrid knowledge built by the social, economic contexts and agro-ecological interactions in scientific knowledge broadcast on-farm. Transfers of technical-scientific knowledge carried by cassava production projects led farmers to reinterpretations which adapt the information received to their needs. The example of the practice early and late cuttings as adaptive techniques to climate change calls to rethink the question of consideration of the farmers' knowledge by scientists in terms of social knowledge to the needs of farmers

Abstract:
Cette thèse intitulée Histoire du peuplement Ambaama et étude des savoirs locaux de gestion de l’environnement (fin XVIIIe-milieu XXe siècle) ambitionne de réaliser une étude historique des savoirs locaux initiés pour administrer l’environnement dans la société ambaama. Elle étudie le contexte dans lequel ces savoirs ont été produits et insérés dans les modes d’organisation et de fonctionnement de cette société. Tout d’abord, elle vise surtout à montrer en quoi ces savoirs jouent un rôle décisif dans la protection de l’environnement et des ressources naturelles. Ensuite, elle envisage d’étudier les dynamiques socio-culturelles qui rendent valides ces savoirs. Dans cette perspective, nous voulons mettre en évidence de potentiels changements intervenus au moment où les Européens nouent des contacts avec les Ambaama. Enfin, nous voulons voir comment les Ambaama ont-ils réagi face à l’instauration du système réglementaire colonial, ce, dans le but maintenir l’équilibre de leur organisation sociale. Autrement dit, nous voulons montrer comment les nouvelles politiques coloniales, en matière de gestion et protection des ressources forestières, se sont imposées, tout en détricotant systèmes endogènes. Cette recherche se situe à la croisée de l’histoire culturelle, l’environnementale, des techniques, des idées voire de l’anthropologie, particulièrement religieuse. La recherche entreprise s’appuie sur deux types de sources complémentaires. D’une part, les sources écrites européennes, comprenant les récits de voyageurs du XIXe siècle et les documents d’archives. D’autre part, des sources orales recueillies pendant nos enquêtes de terrain réalisées au Gabon, en particulier dans la région du haut-Ogooué et dans quelques villages situés sur l’axe routier Makokou-Okondja
This thesis entitled « Story of the Ambaama settlement and study of local knowledge of environnemental management » aims to carry out a historical study of local knowledge to manage the environment in Ambaama community. It studies the context in which this knowledge was produced and put into the modes of organisation and functioning of that society. First of all, it aims above all to show how this knowledge plays an important role in the protection of the environment and natural resources. Then, it plans to study the socio-cultural dynamics that make this knowledge valid. In this way, we want to highlight the potential changes that have occurred when Europeans established contacts with the Ambaama. Next, we are going to see how the Ambaama reacted to the establishment of the colonial regulatory system in order to maintain the balance of their social organisation. In other words, we want to show the new colonial policies, in terms of management and protection of forest resources were imposed, with unraveling endogenous systems. This study is located at the crossroads of cultural and environmental history, techniques, ideas and even anthropology, particularly religious. Our thesis is based on two types of complementary sources. On the one band, we have European written sources including travelers' accounts from the 19th century and archival documents. On the other hand, there are oral sources collected during our surveys carried out in Gabon (in Haut-Ogooue and in some villages located between Makokou and Okondja)

Abstract:
The central theme of this book is ecological and territorialist conversion as a strategic response to the crisis. 'The return to the territory' can be conceived as a valorisation of the common heritage of assets (environmental, urban fabric, landscape, socio-cultural) that mould the identity and lifestyles of every place on the earth. This calls for several issues to be addressed: the fusing of fragmented knowledge into a science of the territory that addresses the problems of socio-territorial and environmental decay in an integrated manner; the definition of new markers and policies of public welfare and happiness, including the landscape as a measure of the quality of peoples' life-worlds; the boosting of tools of local democracy and supportive federalism; the restoration of centrality to the rural world in the production of healthy food, hydro-geological protection measures, ecological reclamation, urban and landscape quality and integrated economies.

Abstract:
This concluding chapter argues that the New Deal food writing does not provide lessons on how to eat better, nor a cause to dismiss it as a bigoted or failed nation-building attempt. Rather, it offers a reminder that contemporary anxieties about the sensory, political, environmental, social, and moral consequences of the global industrial food system, as well as the drive toward the celebration of local traditions and knowledge, are not a late-twentieth and early-twenty-first-century affair but part of a longer historical trend. New Deal food writing offers tools to better understand the challenges of establishing sustainable, pleasurable, and equitable food systems. This is not to disparage efforts at changing industrial foodways, but to emphasize how social and sensory histories of food can create spaces for debates about social, cultural, and environmental equity challenges.

Abstract:
Over the last decade, globalization processes have intensified, and as such, global organizations relocated their secondary processes to new spaces specialized in operations (Peck 2018; Oshri, Kotlarsky, and Willcocks 2015). Most of the processes that are being externalized are Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) and Information Technology Outsourcing (ITO) (Oshri, Kotlarsky, and Willcocks 2015). The global outsourcing hotspots are India, China and the Philippines, that concentrate over 80% of outsourced processes. At European level, Central and Eastern Europe has capitalized most of the outsourcing in the West, particularly in regards to German capital (Marin 2018; Dustmann et al. 2014). Almost half (45.4%) of the total foreign investments of German companies is outsourced to Central and Eastern Europe. In Romania 63.7% of the German foreign investments are processes that were outsourced to our country (Marin, Schymik, and Tarasov 2018). As Peck (2018) points out, the logic behind the process is finding the cheapest labor force pools. Initially, outsourcing was focused on industrialized labor, however, now it is mostly skilled and highly skilled workforce that is being outsourced (Pavlínek 2019). Even if it is work performed by white collars, it has a high level of repetitiveness; however, in sectors such as IT there are also R&D operations (Oshri, Kotlarsky, and Willcocks 2015). Cluj is an example of a city whose local economy and workforce composition changed dramatically after the 2008-2010 financial crisis. The city is one of the Central and Eastern European hubs that benefited from the globalization of outsourcing operations. In particular, Cluj-Napoca excels in four transnational fields: Information & Communications Technology, Business Support Services, Engineering, Research & Development and Financial Services. In 2018, Cluj-Napoca was one of the most developed cities in the European Union in the GDP per capita group 19.000 – 27.000 at Purchasing Power Parity, cities that made a credible commitment at European level to promote knowledge, culture and creativity. In particular, participation in global production chains has generated the emergence of two types of internal markets: An internal market for the well-paid labor force employed in internationalized sectors that consumes a series of dedicated products and services: hospitality (restaurants, cafes, bars), food stuffs (meat products, pastries, premium alcoholic products), lifestyle services (hair salons , spas, gyms), cultural services (festivals, theatres, operas), location services (real estate services, interior design services, furniture manufacturing services). A set of markets that serve the global capital in reproducing their location (cleaning services, security, construction of type A office buildings, human resources). Both domestic and internationalized markets are responsible for the impressive development of the city between 2008 and 2018. The GDP of the Cluj Metropolitan Area and the private revenues of companies have doubled in the last decade.

Abstract:
Abstract Landsmót (the National Championship of the Icelandic horse), the main equestrian event in Iceland, provides an opportunity to present Icelandic nature and culture in many ways, through horses, clothing, equipment and food. Landsmót is a biennial sports event which has become a meeting place for local and national participants (audience and volunteers) and also international audiences and volunteer tourists. It provides access to what is commonly termed 'the world of the Icelandic horse'. The findings in this chapter are based on interviews with volunteers and fieldwork at the Landsmót event at Hólar, Iceland, in 2016. There were two types of volunteers at the event: volunteer tourists who signed up due to their interest in the core activity; and members of local non-profit associations that took on tasks for the event as a fundraising activity. The findings suggest that these two groups require different volunteer management approaches and that a clearer strategy for managing international volunteer tourists is needed to meet their needs and expectations of the event community and to facilitate their co-creation of memorable experiences.

Abstract:
Puerto Rico, while a U.S. territory, lacked the education, health, and sanitation infrastructure found in the continental United States. Neutra’s task was to design facilities to improve the infrastructure. While the aesthetic of the buildings is considered Modernist architecture, Neutra was very sensitive to the structures of local communities. His school designs were didactic in the way people engaged the architecture by learning about fluid mechanics and sanitation through passive designs and planning. Gardens and agricultural practices were introduced to improve food and nutrition. Education and food reforms required local knowledge even though there is a broader scientific knowledge that understands how these conditions can thrive in a particular locality. Architecturally, Neutra adjusted the Modernist style to perform in tropical Puerto Rico. Having contributed to the development of Puerto Rico and anticipating the economic boom in the U.S., Neutra’s proposal for the American community is one that was developed from the global south meant to conserve local values, and yet it was conceived as a model plan that was independent of a particular location.

Abstract:
Refrigeration for the cold storage of perishable foods has been utilized for more than a century. The need for refrigerated storage grows with hot weather. The frozen food industry expanded many times in freezer storage in a few decades after World War II. Cold storage facilities are also significant energy consumers that call for attention to thermal behavior as it greatly influences the cost. Proper design to improve thermal behavior of a refrigerated space requires the knowledge of air distribution and thermal conditions within the space. The frozen food quality is sensitive to both storage temperature and fluctuation in temperature. The present work made use of a computational fluid dynamics technique to adequately predict the cold storage airflow pattern variations within the cold room under various evaporator’s arrangements of sizes, numbers and positions. Design parameters included local temperatures and velocity distributions inside a large cold store using standard k-e model with mesh element 5,400,000 tetrahedral cells. Different optional designs utilizing different number of evaporators were investigated as well as the locations of these evaporators according to load estimation of the cold store.

Abstract:
A transformative research paradigm is imbedded in knowledge mobilization processes involving close collaboration between researchers and the community. The research presents the development of an integrated, connected food ecosystem that, because of its fundamental design and use of appropriate, smart technology, which tends to naturally create inclusion and prosperity opportunities for many and not simply for the few. The research relies on multi-stakeholder participation to develop appropriate technologies to enhance economic activity amongst unemployed youths in Johannesburg, South Africa. A human-centered, systems engineering approach to develop a pilot project that promotes integrated, online, technologically supported food system is presented. The research is also concerned with how to measure the impact of the intervention the on food resilience as a result of urban farming. This paper presents the systems analysis of the current local food network and the proposed integrated solutions for a pilot project to establish a minimal viable project that can be tested. The research describes the planning and implementation of a pilot project as a minimal viable product to test in the market.

Abstract:
In this paper the authors’ experience of teaching an industry sponsored course in Senior Design. The course has been jointly taught by two instructors, one from the Mechanical Engineering Department of the School of Engineering, and the other from the Operations and Information Management Department of the School of Business; and it is part of the Management and Engineering for Manufacturing program at UConn [1]. The student projects have been sponsored by local companies in industries ranging from aerospace to food production. The projects have one main goal: to find the best possible engineering design solution while achieving high production process efficiency. Such an approach relies on the talent of the designer, i.e., the student’s or engineer’s ability to develop a “perfect product” on one side, and the efficiency of the production solutions on the other. In practice, it is difficult to achieve such combined design process formalization successfully. For this reason, the problem solving relies on students’ skills, their knowledge and experience, and the instruction in the course. In particular, the Arena and DELMIA/Quest simulation packages were used for both design and production problem solving. In searching for an ideal solution cost effectiveness and economic constraints were also considered. The experience gained from over ten years teaching of this course is described and analyzed in the paper. Some results of the course are presented and recommendations for further teaching and practice of industry-sponsored courses integrating engineering and production problem solving are discussed.

Abstract:
An experimental study of the vibratory deformation of the human vocal folds was conducted. Experiments were performed using model vocal folds [1, 2], Fig. 1, made of silicone rubber implemented into an air supply system, Fig. 2. The material used to cast the model is an isotropic homogeneous material, [3] with a tangent modulus E=5 kPa at ε = 0, i.e. elastic properties similar to those of the human vocal fold cover [4]. The advantages of the use of model larynx systems over the use of excised larynges include easy accessibility to fundamental studies of the vocal fold vibration without invasive testing. Acoustic analysis of voice or electroglottography provide certain insight into voice production processes but optical techniques for the study of vocal fold vibrations have drawn considerable attention. Videoendoscopy, stroboscopy, high-speed photography, and kymography have shown to provide a visual impression of vocal fold dynamics but are limited in providing insight into the fundamental deformation processes of the vocal folds. Quantitative measures of deformation have been conducted through micro-suture techniques but are invasive and allows for measurements of only view image points. Laser triangulation is non-invasive but is limited to only one local measurement point. Here, digital image correlation technique with the software VIC 3D [5] is applied. For the experimental set-up see Fig. 2. The analysis consists of (1) stereo correlation to obtain in-plane displacements and (2) stereo triangulation step to obtain out-of-plane deformation. For the stereo correlation images of the object at two different stages of deformation are compared. A point in the image of the undeformed object is matched with the corresponding point in the deformed stage. “Subsets” of digital images are traced via their gray value distribution from the undeformed reference image to the deformed image. The uniqueness of the matching is enabled by the creation of a speckle pattern on the object’s surface. Here, a white pigment is mixed into the silicone rubber and subsequently black enamel paint is sprayed onto the superior surface of the vocal folds. The stereo triangulation requires two images of the object at each stage of deformation. These are obtained in a single CCD frame by placing a beam splitter in the optical axis between camera and object. These images provide a “left” and “right” view of the model larynx. Thus, the deformed shape of the vocal folds can be obtained. The method allows for noninvasive measurement of the full-field displacement fields. Images of the superior surface of the model larynx are obtained by the use of a high speed digital camera with a frame rate of 3000 frames per second allowing for more than 30 image frames for each vibration cycle. For the 3D digital image correlation analysis two images of the object are obtained for each time instance as a beam splitter is placed in the optical axis between the camera and the model larynx. Phonation frequencies and onset pressure are given in Fig. 3, showing that the model larynx behavior is close to actual physiological data. Figs 4(a) and (b) provide superior views of the model larynx at maximum glottal opening and at glottal closure, respectively. As one example of measured strain fields, Figs 5(a) and (b) depict the distributions of the transverse strain component, on the glottal surface in a contour plot on the deformed superior surface. The knowledge of the distribution of this strain component is relevant to the assessment of the impact of vocal fold collision on potential tissue damage. In the position of maximum opening the vocal folds are deformed by a combination of a bulging-type deformation and the opening movement. At this time instance, the transverse strains at the medial surface are found to be negative, an indication of Poisson’s deformation. During the closing stage, vocal folds collide and simultaneously a mode 3 vibration pattern emerges. Closure of the glottal opening is not complete and two incomplete closure areas are formed during the closure stage. These open areas are located at the anterior and posterior ends of the model larynx, see Fig. 4(b). The finding of this type of incomplete closure is agreement with both actual glottal measurements [6] and 3D finite element simulations of [7]. Transverse strains during that stage are now positive and considerably larger that during the opening stage. Finally, Fig. 6 depicts the time evolution of the out of plane displacements along the medial surface for the closing phase and Fig. 7 depicts the maximum values of the longitudinal strain (at the coronal section of the medial surface) in dependence of the flow rate. These examples of measurements indicate that the DIC method is promising for studies of vocal fold dynamics.
