Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to ascertain student and teacher perceptions of the environment in which student learning takes place and their perceptions of how it has helped them in the cognitive and social domains. Data collected were through student and teacher perception surveys, student and teacher perception questionnaires, classroom observations, student focus group discussions, and teacher interviews. Themes that emerged from the data sources were student interactions, students' autonomy in personalizing their learning space, teacher perceptions of comfort in the classroom, and student perceptions of comfort in the classroom. The findings of this study point to four recommendations for educational leaders to ensure the effective implementation of new and dynamic learning spaces: (1) consult and support teacher and students, (2) provide professional development, (3) visit campuses and other learning spaces, and (4) add color. In order for real change to take place, teachers need to enquire about and embrace student preferences and allow for the discomfort that will be present when trying something new. Teachers must be willing to relinquish control of the learning experience for the student in order to allow for possibilities in personalized learning on the part of the student. They must risk initial failure in order to allow for greater successes in the long run.

Abstract:
Išskirtini paprastų geometrinių formų triukšmo šaltinių (TŠ) tipai – taškinis ir ilginis, tačiau yra didelių ir įvairių geometrinių formų ir dydžių lauko įrenginių, kurių skleidžiamą akustinę taršą reikia numatyti ar apskaičiuoti sąlyginai artimuose taškuose. Darbo tikslas – ištirti gamybinio objekto teritorijoje paskirstytų nevienodos garso galios ir skirtingų geometrinių formų bei dydžių lauko įrenginių įtaką akustinės taršos lygiui. Didelių geometrinių dydžių triukšmo šaltinių triukšmo sklaida bendram garso slėgio lygiui LpA (dBA) įtakos (KP) turi tik artimuose taškuose, lyginant su triukšmo šaltinio matmenimis (3:2). Didžiausią įtaką (-3 dBA) 5 m atstumu turi cilindrinio (ilginio) tipo triukšmo šaltinis. Tolimesniuose atstumuose (~40 m) triukšmo šaltinio geometriniai dydis ir forma įtakos neturi ir galima taikyti akustinės galios ir taršos lygio tarpusavio ryšio priklausomybes. Tuomet akustinės taršos lygis priklauso tik nuo atstumo R ir kinta 1/R2 dėsniu, kas įrodyta eksperimentiniais tyrimais. Gyvenvietėje akustinės taršos lygiai ženkliai viršija (5 dBA) leistinuosius lygius. Gautąsias ryšio tarp aplinkos akustinės taršos ir gamybinio objekto triukšmo šaltinio galios priklausomybes galima panaudoti kartografavimui.<br>There are two types of noise sources of ordinary geometrical forms – point and line sources, but there are many outside facilities of different and vast geometrical forms as well, whose acoustic pollution needs to be predicted and calculated conditionally in a very similar way. Work objective – to survey the impact of different forms and sizes outside facilities and of different sound capacity around industrial territory for the level of acoustic pollution. The emanation of noise sources of vast geometrical sizes has the impact (Kp) for the general sound pressure level only in close points, in comparison with the noise source measurements (3:2) The biggest impact (-3 dBA) in the distance of 5 metres has cylindrical (line type) noise source. In the bigger distances (like 40 meters) geometrical form and size of noise source has no impact and it is possible to apply acoustic capacity and noise pollution inter-connections. So, acoustic pollution level depends on the distance R and changes on 1/R² law, which is proven by experiments. In the township acoustic pollution levels exceeds dramatically (5 dBA) the allowable levels. The forthcoming inter-connection between acoustic environmental pollution and the noise source capacity around industrial subject can be used for cartography.

Abstract:
The work deals with free time, history of education during free time, further it describes some of the factors that influence the children´s spending of free time (family, school, other educational institutions outside school), it introduces a church youth organization Dona Bosca and it particulary focuses on free time work in two chosen salesian centres in Germany and in the Czech Republic. The practical part contains the charakteristic and comparison of two chosen facilities: Don Bosco centre Regensburg and Don Bosco centre Plzeň and mainly the activities of their clubs, which work with older youth (Jugendtreffpunkt and Vzduch-loď). They are well led and provide a good quality free time spending possibilities for the youth. Even though the two clubs are different in a certain point of view, for exampe, financial possibilities, space facilies, etc., they compound in the wide supply of activities for youth, which contribute to the prevention of morbid free time spending. The work also captures the future visions of the two clubs.

Following Hannah Arendt’s remarks on refugee camps as spaces of ‘worldlessness’, I examine how, in films on European asylum facilities, systemic violence ‘makes itself known’ in images of nature. Nature separates and isolates (La Forteresse, Forst), it constitutes a sphere of domination and control (View from Above), and it functions directly as a murder weapon (Purple Sea). Nature, in these films, indicates the Outside within, haunted by the latent and ghostly presence of systemic violence.

Abstract:
Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is used in the United States for the treatment of major depression and a limited number of other psychiatric disorders. Patients require general anesthesia and airway management for this procedure, which is most often performed on psychiatric wards or in outpatient facilities. Because many of these patients are elderly and often have accompanying comorbidities, the sudden stimulus to the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular systems during this brief procedure creates the potential for significant cardiac and neurological complications. Despite this, ECT remains a very safe and well-tolerated procedure for inpatients as well as outpatients, as long as proper preoperative evaluation is performed and there is adherence to safe anesthesia practice guidelines.

Abstract:
In response to government and public pressures, the healthcare industry has in the past few years directed a significant effort toward the proper and safe management of its medical waste streams. Medical waste is classified as a biohazardous waste, which according to a study published by the United States Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (1990), may result in human infection and transfer of disease. This includes injury and infection with the Hepatitis B Virus (HVB) and the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), by janitorial and laundry workers, nurses, emergency medical personnel, and refuse workers who may come into contact with medical waste. In a recent survey conducted in the United States and Japan, and reported by the World Heath Organization (WHO) (1994), it was found that injuries by sharps constitute about 1% to 2% per annum for nurses and maintenance workers and 18% per annum for outside waste management workers. In Japan, the survey indicated that injuries by sharps constitute about 67% for in-hospital waste handlers and 44% for outside waste management workers. In order to reduce the risks associated with medical waste, proper management mechanisms should be adopted by healthcare facilities to protect the health of the staff within the medical facility, waste collectors/workers, and the public once the waste has left the facility for final disposal. These mechanisms include waste identification, segregation, storage, and treatment. However, and as a first step in the implementation of a waste management system, the management of a medical facility should conduct an audit of the generated waste streams.

Abstract:
There are unique infection prevention issues associated with pediatric long-term care facilities, behavioral health units, rehabilitation hospitals, and other residential facilities. All of these facilities provide care to children with complex, chronic medical conditions. These children are at increased risk for healthcare-associated infection due to factors such as age-related vulnerability to infections, especially respiratory viral infections; chronic exposure to indwelling medical devices such as tracheostomies, gastrostomy tubes, and central venous catheters; and frequent close contact with other children and healthcare providers during therapeutic and social activities. This chapter provides infection prevention and control guidance in special healthcare settings outside of acute care, including pediatric long-term care, behavioral health, and residential facilities. The adaptation of strategies such as transmission-based precautions while maintaining a homelike environment is described. Recommendations for infection surveillance in these setting are provided, along with algorithms for managing respiratory and gastrointestinal illness.

Abstract:
For people who want to be healthy, contemporary developments have made it possible to meet this need from other countries. It is the distinctive feature of medical tourism that those who want to be treated outside their own country for various reasons travel for treatment purposes. The aim of this study is to evaluate the medical tourism potential for Kocaeli. For the research, 15 health facilities, including one public university, two public health facilities, and 12 private health facilities which have deserved Health Tourism Certificate, have been determined in Kocaeli. In addition, officials from the accommodation sector and public bureaucracy who are competent, and decision-makers on medical tourism were interviewed. The medical tourism potential of Kocaeli has been determined in terms of competitiveness criteria by analysing the data collected as a result of the interviews. As a result, even if the government puts emphasis on health tourism in Turkey, it has been observed that there isn't enough competitiveness in public hospitals.

Abstract:
“Modernity and Entropy” is about the gradual recognition that the industrial and urban fabric of America was falling apart in the twentieth century, as cities aged and factory production moved out of cities like Detroit to manufacturing facilities outside the US. Philadelphia photographer Vincent Feldman has portrayed the decaying structures of his city, while Detroit’s ruins have been elaborately portrayed in the work of outsiders like Andrew Moore, Marchand and Meffre, and Camilo José Vergara. The chapter examines the various techniques and strategies photographers have developed, from the high aesthetic of Moore to the documentary time-lapse imagery of Vergara. America’s love affair with urban ruins is also examined here in the “Urban Exploration” movement and in the cinematic representation of urban ruin as futuristic dystopia.

Abstract:
Abstract. In order to provide telecommunication and FTTH services, NTT have installed so many facilities such as utility poles and optical cables. The number of poles is about 11.8 million and the total length of all installed cables is about 2.3 million km. These facilities are now maintained and inspected visually by on-site maintenance staff at great expense. Therefore, we are researching a novel outside-facility renovation technology that increases cost-effectiveness by ensuring the long-term safe use of facilities. When a utility pole is newly constructed, it is designed under the assumption of a maximum load such as wind pressure being applied to the pole via cables and auxiliary attachments. However, the loads can become imbalanced when the guy wire cannot be tensioned as they cross private land or when there are obstacles, etc. We call this condition that unbalanced loads occur. Unbalanced loads are one of the key reasons for the structural deterioration of utility poles. After the deterioration occurs, the risk of pole collapse increases, because deflection and inclination are generated and finally the cracks propagate until collapse. The conventional solution is to replace the damaged pole. However, in many cases, the loads are created by other contiguous poles, so unbalanced loads occur again. Therefore, we are developing a method that can identify the reason by regarding sets of utility poles as "facility systems" and analyzing unbalanced loads quantitatively by FEM. In our research, simulation accuracy is improved by determining the quantitative differences obtained by comparing the calculated results obtained by FEM with measured values obtained by using a reaction wall. The simulations of structural degradation due to unbalanced loads taking into account the deformation of cables due to wind velocity and air temperature in addition to various material properties such as hysteresis and the sectional model of the utility poles. In addition to the above, the effect of soil is considered as a spring element, and the analysis involves the elements of horizontal spring (Kxi, Kzi) and vertical spring (Kv). While the calculated and the measured values show good agreement, there is some small error. This error is considered to be due to the influence of parameters such as tensile and compressive strength, and we aim to improve the simulation accuracy by considering these effects in the future.

Abstract. In order to provide telecommunication and FTTH services, we, NTT, have installed a large number of facilities such as utility poles and optical cables. The number of poles is about 11.9 million and the total length of all installed cables is now about 2.3 million km. These facilities are inspected and maintained by visual inspection by workers every 5 to 10 years, which imposes great costs on the operator. Therefore, we are researching a novel outside-facility renovation technology that can improve cost-effectiveness by long-term safe use. This technology consists of two techniques: a visualization technique of unbalanced tension and a quantitative analysis technique to determine the relationship between unbalanced tension and structural deterioration. In this paper, we describe the concept of the proposed technology. When a utility pole is newly installed, its design assumes that the maximum load consists of wind pressure on the cables. However, when it is impossible to construct a guy wire for bearing the load applied to the utility pole, an unbalanced load occurs because the load cannot be balanced. In addition, when the number of users of various services increases and cables are newly laid, unbalanced loads are generated. Utility poles carrying these unbalanced loads are at significant risk of collapse due to the presence of deflection, inclination, and cracks. Our proposal focuses on the unbalanced load itself, and by detecting and countering it, we aim to enable the use of outside-facilities for a longer period than at present and to reduce replacement costs without sacrificing safety and security. In addition, we also describe how ensuring the long-term safe use of outside-facilities can improve cost-effectiveness. The proposed technique first acquires 3D point cloud data by using 3D laser scanner. It then creates a 3D facility model and calculates the tension in utility poles and cables. In addition, we introduce a novel method to estimate the loads and tension of a whole span from part of the span. Experiments are conducted to compare the estimated and measured values. The results confirm the good agreement of the values (within 10%) which validates the proposal. We aim to realize a tension visualization scheme with improved accuracy.

Full text
Abstract:
The demolition of highly contaminated plutonium buildings usually is a long and expensive process that involves decontaminating the building to near free-release standards and then using conventional methods to remove the structure. It doesn’t, however, have to be that way. Fluor has torn down buildings highly contaminated with plutonium without excessive decontamination. By removing the select source term and fixing the remaining contamination on the walls, ceilings, floors, and equipment surfaces; open-air demolition is not only feasible, but it can be done cheaper, better (safer), and faster. Open-air demolition techniques were used to demolish two highly contaminated buildings to slab-on-grade. These facilities on the Department of Energy’s Hanford Site were located in, or very near, compounds of operating nuclear facilities that housed hundreds of people working on a daily basis. To keep the facilities operating and the personnel safe, the projects had to be creative in demolishing the structures. Several key techniques were used to control contamination and keep it within the confines of the demolition area: spraying fixatives before demolition; applying fixative and misting with a fine spray of water as the buildings were being taken down; and demolishing the buildings in a controlled and methodical manner. In addition, detailed air-dispersion modeling was done to establish necessary building and meteorological conditions and to confirm the adequacy of the proposed methods. Both demolition projects were accomplished without any spread of contamination outside the modest buffer areas established for contamination control. Furthermore, personnel exposure to radiological and physical hazards was significantly reduced by using heavy equipment rather than “hands on” techniques.

The government of Iraq, through the Ministry of Science and Technology (MoST) is decommissioning Iraq’s former nuclear facilities. The 18 former facilities at the Al-Tuwaitha Nuclear Research Center near Baghdad include partially destroyed research reactors, a fuel fabrication facility and radioisotope production facilities. These 18 former facilities contain large numbers of silos and drums of uncharacterized radioactive waste and approximately 30 tanks that contain or did contain uncharacterized liquid radioactive wastes. Other key sites outside of Al Tuwaitha include facilities at Jesira (uranium processing and waste storage facility), Rashdiya (centrifuge facility) and Tarmiya (enrichment plant). The newly created Radioactive Waste Treatment Management Directorate (RWTMD) within MoST is responsible for Iraq’s centralized management of radioactive waste, including safe and secure disposal. In addition to being responsible for the uncharacterized wastes at Al Tuwaitha, the RWTMD will be responsible for future decommissioning wastes, approximately 900 disused sealed radioactive sources, and unknown quantities of NORM wastes from oil production in Iraq. This paper presents the challenges and progress that the RWTMD has made in setting-up a radioactive waste management program. The progress includes the establishment of a staffing structure, staff, participation in international training, rehabilitation of portions of the former Radioactive Waste Treatment Station at Al-Tuwaitha and the acquisition of equipment.

Abstract:
Currently, the probabilistic risk assessments (PRA) for the nuclear power plant (NPP) sites are primarily focused on the reactor counterpart. However, evoked by the 2011 Fukushima Daiichi accident, it has been widely recognized that a complete site risk profile should not be confined to the reactor units, but should cover all the radiological sources in a site, e.g. spent fuel storage facilities. During the operation of the reactor units, the used fuel assemblies will be unloaded from the reactor core to the storage facilities in a continuous or periodical manner. Accident scenarios involving such facilities can occur with non-negligible frequencies and significant consequences, posing threat to public safety. Hence, the risk contributions from such scenarios should be carefully estimated and integrated into the safety goal evaluations. The spent fuel storage facilities can be categorized as two types: pool storage units and dry cask storage facilities. In the former type, spent fuel assemblies are stored in large pools inside or outside the reactor building, with the residual heat removed by natural or forced water circulation. The latter type, where air or inert gas circulation plays an important role, appear mostly as a complementary method, along with the pool storage units, to expand the plant’s storage capacity. For instance, at the Daiichi plant, there are several fuel pool units holding some fresh fuel and some used fuel, the latter awaiting for its transfer to the dry cask storage facilities on site. Note that, as well as in a joint manner, both storage facilities can be designed to serve the NPPs independently. As a fully developed method to identify potential risk in a logical and quantitative way, the framework of PRA can be generally applied to the spent fuel storage facilities with some special considerations. This paper is aimed at giving recommendations for the spent fuel storage facility PRAs, including (1) clarifying the analysis scope of risk from spent fuel storage facilities; (2) illustrating four key issues that determines such risk; (3) presenting three essential considerations when conducting PRAs to evaluate such risk. Also, this paper integrates the insights obtained from two representative case studies involving two NPP sites with different types of both fuel elements and storage facilities.

Abstract:
The idea of using casks for interim storage of spent fuel arose at GNS after a very controversial political discussion in 1978, when total passive safety features (including aircraft crash conditions) were required for an above ground spent fuel storage facility. In the meantime, GNS has loaded more than 1000 casks at 25 different storage sites in Germany. GNS cask technology is used in 13 countries. Spent fuel assemblies of PWR, BWR, VVER, RBMK, MTR and THTR as well as vitrified high level waste containers are stored in full metal casks of the CASTOR® type. Also MOX fuel of PWR and BWR has been stored. More than two decades of storage have shown that the basic requirements (safe confinement, criticality safety, sufficient shielding and appropriate heat transfer) have been fulfilled in any case — during normal operation and in case of severe accidents, including aircraft crash. There is no indication of problems arising in the future. Of course, the experience of more than 20 years has resulted in improvements of the cask design. The CASTOR® casks have been thoroughly investigated by many experiments. There have been approx. 50 full and half scale drop tests and a significant number of fire tests, simulations of aircraft crash, investigations with anti tank weapons, and an explosion of a railway tank with liquid gas neighbouring a loaded CASTOR® cask. According to customer and site specific demands, different types of storage facilities are realized in Germany. Firstly, there are facilities for long-term storage, such as large ventilated central storage buildings away from reactor or ventilated storage buildings at the reactor site, ventilated underground tunnels or concrete platforms outside a building. Secondly, there are facilities for temporary storage, where casks have been positioned in horizontal orientation under a ventilated shielding cover outside a building.

Abstract:
Introduction: In Portugal, during COVID19pandemic, sport and fitness facilities were closed. When lockdown has been lifted, in order to prevent the spread of infection, indoor sport facilities were subject to specific regulations that limited indoor occupancy as well as manner of air ventilation. This study aims to analyze the impacts of these ventilation restrictions on indoor air comfort parameters in sport fitness facilities. Methodology: Temperature (T; ºC), relative humidity (RH; %), and carbon dioxide (CO2) were continuously monitored (41 days; spring and autumn) in four fitness centers situated in Oporto metropolitan area: two of them under normal ventilation conditions (i.e. before lockdown; NV1 and NV2) and two of them under temporary restrictions for indoor ventilations and occupancy (RV1 and RV2). Results and Discussion: Under normal ventilation conditions, T in fitness centers slightly varied (in NV1:22-25 ºC; NV2: 20-23 ºC) but in both clubs the comfort recommendations (18-25 ºC) were fulfilled. On contrary, RH were below guideline values (55-75%) in NV1 (47-54%) whereas at NV2 (66-73%) it fulfilled the recommendations. When specific health regulations took place, mean T ranges were similar in both clubs (RV1: 21-23 ºC; RV2:21-23 ºC) but they both exceeded recommended comfort levels (16-21 ºC). Mean RH were in accordance with the legislative values, but the very high temporal maxima (up to 75 and 89%) indicate the possible discomforts the that exercisers might have experienced. Concerning the CO2, the obtained results showed that indoorlevels decreased when specific health restrictions were in force (11-121%) most likely due imposed guidelines for human occupancy. Conclusions: The restrictions for ventilation and human occupancy positively impacted indoor levels of CO2. However, T and RH were on several occasions outside the recommended comfort levels, especially during group activity classes. As regular exercising in environmental conditions, such as elevated T and increased RH can cause health discomforts, these parameters should be carefully maintained within the recommended ranges even under restricted ventilation scenarios.
