Abstract:

The purpose of this degree project is to address upper secondary outdoor language education. It explores upper secondary EFL students’ attitudes and responses towards the teaching of English outdoors. The research has been based on data from qualitative research methods with an action research approach: peer observation, a reflective diary and focus group interviews. Peer observation and the reflective diary was used to recover information on four upper secondary EFL classes’ responses towards being taught outdoors. Focus group interviews were conducted on two groups of students from two of th

Abstract:

The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) offers over 25 different outdoor recreational and outreach educational programs that target different audiences and utilize different types of delivery systems. This study was an evaluation of an educational program called Becoming an Outdoors-Woman (BOW). The evaluation produced a measurement instrument that evaluated program effectiveness and tested the instrument on past participants. The questionnaire determined respondents: (1) history of program participation, (2) knowledge of TPWDs mission and purpose, (3) level of involvement in selec

Abstract:

The study of human behaviour outdoors has been an area of interest examined from different perspectives. Even so, the study of human behaviour in outdoor public spaces still requires further input from the perspective of human factors. This thesis presents a literature review of behaviour in public spaces where the author evaluated the attendance to public squares, the activities performed by users, the time of permanence, the sitting preferences of users and people’s characteristics among other behaviours. Previous studies have reported a relationship between thermal comfort and human behavio

Yet images of climbers, skiers or hikers still grace the pages of catalogs and advertisements aimed at consumers that are often perceived as “buying into the lifestyle”.

Gait biomechanics have been studied extensively. Many existing studies, though, have been performed in a controlled laboratory setting, and assumed that measures obtained are representative of gait in a naturalistic environment (e.g., outdoors). Several environmental and psychological factors may contribute to differences between these environments, and identifying any such differences is important for generalizing results outside the laboratory. The purpose of this study was to test the implicit assumption that gait inside a research laboratory does not differ from gait outdoors, when a parti

Abstract:

Wood is one of the main materials of choice to reduce the environmental footprint of the building and construction sector. Wood is aesthetically pleasing and hence there is great demand for finishing systems that do not mask wood’s color and texture. Unfortunately, clear coatings used on wood outdoors fail within one to two years mainly because of photodegradation of the underlying wood substrate. The performance of clear coatings on wood can be enhanced by photostabilizing the wood before coating or by modifying the clear coating to improve its photostability and flexibility.

The proposed solution combines inertial navigation for orientation estimation with a vision-based support component to reduce noise from the inertial orientation estimation.

Abstract:

Outdoor recreation was established in Sweden about 100-150 years ago and its practices and organization were at that time dominated by a white male upper class. Today, Swedish outdoor recreation is guided by public policy, imploring for everyone’s equal value, and right to experience and be outdoors, regardless of age, color, or gender. Data from Statistics Sweden however show that persons born in Sweden are active in outdoor recreational activities to a higher degree than persons born outside Sweden.

Engineered clothing systems are one of the major textile research areas. These systems have a huge potential in providing protection and comfort to the wearer. Basically, multi-layered fabric technique is used, in which each layer contributes a substantial moisture removal function. The process of moisture removal is greatly affected by the surrounding conditions, such as pressure, temperature and humidity. If these quantities are much higher than the inner microclimate, the moisture removal process is affected, due to reduced hydrostatic pressure. However, the technology of heating in textile

Abstract:

This thesis presents a series of studies into the responses of people to outdoor thermal conditions experienced over all seasons in the United Kingdom. The aim was to investigate practical methods for predicting human responses to outside weather conditions, which would be useful in predicting effects on human comfort and health. The studies involved both laboratory experiments and field trials. One particular aspect of outside conditions, not usually investigated in laboratory studies, is the contribution of solar radiation. Single subject and thermal manikin studies were used to determine th

Abstract:

Ericaria amentacea è un’alga bruna endemica del Mar Mediterraneo che si sviluppa tra 0-2 metri. Una delle specie più sensibili per la valutazione della qualità ecologica delle acque ed è ecologicamente rilevante come "specie ingegnere dell'ecosistema". Le popolazioni mediterranee si sono recentemente ridotte a causa dell’alterazione e perdita dei suoi habitat e alla presenza di inquinanti chimici in mare. Ad Aprile 2021 è nato il Portofino Seaweed Garden: l’intento è quello di indagare la fattibilità dell’impianto di giovanili di Ericaria amentacea mediante la creazione di un “giardino sommer

Abstract The purpose of the study was to create a comprehensive view and add understanding about the childcare practice of children sleeping outdoors in the context of Northern Finnish winter. A general view of the topic was described, the thermal insulation of clothing of infants sleeping outdoors in northern winter climate was evaluated and the relationships among thermal environment, infants’ skin temperatures and daytime outdoor sleep duration were described. Mixed methods research design was used. A questionnaire was distributed to the parents (n=116) of children under 2 years of age in t

Abstract:

Sales of containerized roses have increased dramatically in recent years and producing flowering plants in containers in a timely manner is important to the nursery industry. An experiment was conducted to determine whether forcing containerized roses will be faster in a retractable roof greenhouse compared to outdoors. Results suggest that forcing roses in a retractable roof greenhouse can shorten the production time and increase quality of finished plants, however, cultivar, time of harvesting, and time in cold storage also affect these parameters.
