Abstract:
General surgery residency involves a mixture of 1) education of residents and 2) service by residents. The service that residents provide is not directly reimbursed in our current healthcare system by private healthcare insurance companies. This investigation characterizes the amount of reimbursement a typical resident would be able to collect if residents were allowed to collect for their services as a first assistant. The case logs of residents who graduated over 2 years from our general surgery residency program were reviewed. Data from each resident's last 2 years (postgraduate years 4 and 5) were included in this study. Relative value units (RVUs) for each Current Procedural Terminology code were reviewed. Collections were calculated by multiplying the Medicare conversion factor of $36.7856/RVU, the corresponding RVU, and a “standard” collection rate of 16 per cent for first assistants. There were 13 general surgery residents. These residents provided first assistant help with 91,473 RVUs over 2 years. A total amount of $535,380 could have been collected on first assistant fees for the last 2 years of their residency. Each resident would have been able to collect an average at least $41,414 just for first assistant operative fees. Resident assistance in the operating room provides significant savings for private healthcare insurance companies each year by reducing the need for first assistants. The data demonstrate that private insurance companies receive a considerable amount of pro bono service from residents. Changes in the financing of the current healthcare system in the United States will require educators to examine other sources ( i.e., private insurance companies) for support of graduate medication education.

Abstract:
Background Tracheal intubation-associated events (TIAEs) are common (20%) and life threatening (4%) in pediatric intensive care units. Physician trainees are required to learn tracheal intubation during intensive care unit rotations. The authors hypothesized that "just-in-time" simulation-based intubation refresher training would improve resident participation, success, and decrease TIAEs. Methods For 14 months, one of two on-call residents, nurses, and respiratory therapists received 20-min multidisciplinary simulation-based tracheal intubation training and 10-min resident skill refresher training at the beginning of their on-call period in addition to routine residency education. The rate of first attempt and overall success between refresher-trained and concurrent non-refresher-trained residents (controls) during the intervention phase was compared. The incidence of TIAEs between preintervention and intervention phase was also compared. Results Four hundred one consecutive primary orotracheal intubations were evaluated: 220 preintervention and 181 intervention. During intervention phase, neither first-attempt success nor overall success rate differed between refresher-trained residents versus concurrent non-refresher-trained residents: 20 of 40 (50%) versus 15 of 24 (62.5%), P = 0.44 and 23 of 40 (57.5%) versus 18 of 24 (75.0%), P = 0.19, respectively. The resident's first attempt and overall success rate did not differ between preintervention and intervention phases. The incidence of TIAE during preintervention and intervention phases was similar: 22.0% preintervention versus 19.9% intervention, P = 0.62, whereas resident participation increased from 20.9% preintervention to 35.4% intervention, P = 0.002. Resident participation continued to be associated with TIAE even after adjusting for the phase and difficult airway condition: odds ratio 2.22 (95% CI 1.28-3.87, P = 0.005). Conclusions Brief just-in-time multidisciplinary simulation-based intubation refresher training did not improve the resident's first attempt or overall tracheal intubation success.

Abstract:
Background: Research concerning relatives’ participation in the everyday care related to persons living in special care units for persons with dementia is limited. Research questions: To examine relatives’ participation in their near one’s everyday care, the level of burden experienced and important factors for participation, in this special context. Design: The study had a cross-sectional design, and data collection was carried out by means of a study-specific questionnaire. Participants and context: A total of 233 relatives from 23 different special care units participated. Ethical consideration: The study was approved by the Norwegian Social Science Data Services. Results: A great majority of relatives reported that they visited weekly and were the resident’s spokesperson, but seldom really participated in decisions concerning their everyday care. Participation was seldom reported as a burden. Discussion: This study indicated that relatives were able to make a difference to their near one’s everyday life and ensure quality of care based on their biographical expertise, intimate knowledge about and emotional bond with the resident. Since knowing the resident is a prerequisite for providing individualised care that is in line with the resident’s preferences, information concerning these issues is of utmost importance. Conclusion: This study prompts reflection about what it is to be a spokesperson and whether everyday care is neglected in this role. Even though relatives were satisfied with the care provided, half of them perceived their participation as crucial for the resident’s well-being. This indicated that relatives were able to offer important extras due to their biographical expertise, intimate knowledge about and emotional bond with the resident. Good routines securing that written information about the residents’ life history and preferences is available and used should be implemented in practice.

Abstract Background Medicare funding for graduate medical education may be cut in the next federal budget. Objective We quantified the value of work that 1 orthopedic surgery resident performs on call and compare it to Medicare educational funding received by the hospital for each resident. Methods A single orthopedic resident's on-call emergency department and inpatient consults were collected during a 2-year call period at a large, tertiary, level-1 trauma center. Patient charts were reviewed; ICD-9 codes, evaluation and management, and procedural treatment were recorded. Codes were converted into work relative value units. The number of work relative value units was multiplied by the 2012 Medicare rate of $34.03 per relative value units to calculate the monetary value of resident work. Results Of 120 resident call shifts, 115 call sheets (95.8%) were available for review, and 1160 patients were seen (average = 10.09 consults/call). A total of 4688 work relative value units were generated (average = 40.76 per night), and the total dollar value generated was $159,561 ($1,387 per call) during the 2 years of call (average = $79,780 annually). Evaluation and management codes generated 2340 work relative value units, with a calculated dollar amount of $79,648, and procedural codes generated 2348 work relative value units, with a calculated dollar amount of $79,913. Conclusions Our institution estimated Medicare direct medical education support per resident at $40,000/y, and total funding was $130,000/resident. At our tertiary care institution, the unbilled work of 1 orthopedic resident on call amounts to more than 60% of Medicare direct medical education and indirect medical education funding annually.

Abstract:
ABSTRACTBackground: Social engagement and depression are important outcomes for residents with dementia in long-term care. However, it is still largely unclear which differences in social engagement and depression exist in residents of various long-term care settings and how these differences may be explained. This study investigated the relationship between social engagement and depressive symptoms in long-term care dementia units, and studied whether differences in social engagement and depressive symptoms between units can be ascribed to the composition of the resident population or to differences in type of care setting.Methods: Thirty-seven long-term care units for residents with dementia in nursing- and residential homes in the Netherlands participated in the study. Social engagement and depressive symptoms were measured for 502 residents with the Minimum Data Set of the Resident Assessment Instrument. Results were analyzed using multilevel analysis.Results: Residents of psychogeriatric units in nursing homes experienced low social engagement. Depressive symptoms were most often found in residents of psychogeriatric units in residential homes. Multilevel analyses showed that social engagement and depressive symptoms correlated moderately on the level of the units. This correlation disappeared when the characteristics of residents were taken into account.Conclusions: Social engagement and depressive symptoms are influenced not only by individual characteristics but also by the type of care setting in which residents live. However, in this study social engagement and depressive symptoms were not strongly related to each other, implying that separate interventions are needed to improve both outcomes.

Abstract:
A validity test was conducted to determine how care level–based nurse-to-resident ratios compare with actual daily care times per resident in Germany. Stability across different long-term care facilities was tested. Care level–based nurse-to-resident ratios were compared with the standard minimum nurse-to-resident ratios. Levels of care are determined by classification authorities in long-term care insurance programs and are used to distribute resources. Care levels are a powerful tool for classifying authorities in long-term care insurance. We used observer-based measurement of assignable direct and indirect care time in 68 nursing units for 2028 residents across 2 working days. Organizational data were collected at the end of the quarter in which the observation was made. Data were collected from January to March, 2012. We used a null multilevel model with random intercepts and multilevel models with fixed and random slopes to analyze data at both the organization and resident levels. A total of 14% of the variance in total care time per day was explained by membership in nursing units. The impact of care levels on care time differed significantly between nursing units. Forty percent of residents at the lowest care level received less than the standard minimum registered nursing time per day. For facilities that have been significantly disadvantaged in the current staffing system, a higher minimum standard will function more effectively than a complex classification system without scientific controls.

Abstract:
Residents of “lockdown” dementia units, also referred to as “Special Care Units” of skilled nursing facilities, constitute a population of rapidly escalating needs. These entail rising demands for speech-language pathology services to treat and manage symptoms of dementia. This article recounts an exploratory investigation of rehabilitation sessions with an elderly resident of a Special Care Unit, using a new computer-based program targeting cognitive-communicative capacities. Preliminary results suggest that this resident with moderate dementia achieved a higher degree of functional recovery and superior quality of life than would have been possible with more traditional therapeutic approaches alone. An iPad-based software platform was used to administer tasks to train attention, working memory, and executive functions. The resident demonstrated significant gains in task performance that were coupled with increased independence and safety, enhanced participation in non-computerized therapeutic tasks, adaptation to surroundings, and reduction of negative behaviors. The resident's improved cognitive-communicative performance was sufficient to warrant a transfer to a long-term care wing within the same facility. This proof of concept demonstration invites formulation of testable hypotheses, which should be pursued in future research on optimizing interventions for institutionalized people with dementia using leading-edge computerized therapies.

Abstract:
We describe a novel multihealth system pediatric pharmacy residency program through the Ernest Mario School of Pharmacy at Rutgers University. Pediatric clinical pharmacy is a growing field that has seen an increase in demand for practitioners. Practice sites include freestanding children's hospitals, children's hospitals within adult hospitals, and pediatric units within adult hospitals. To accommodate a residency program in a region with no freestanding children's hospital, the pediatric faculty members at the Ernest Mario School of Pharmacy at Rutgers University developed a multihealth system postgraduate year 2 (PGY2) pediatric pharmacy residency program with 6 pediatric faculty members functioning as preceptors at their 5 respective practice sites. The multihealth system setup of the program provides the resident exposure to a multitude of patient populations, pediatric specialties, and pediatric pharmacy practices. In addition, the affiliation with Rutgers University allows an emphasis on academia with opportunities for the resident to lecture in small and large classrooms, facilitate discussion periods, assist with clinical laboratory classes, and precept pharmacy students. The resident has the unique opportunity to develop a research project with a large and diverse patient population owing to the multihealth system rotation sites. A multihealth system PGY2 residency in pediatric pharmacy provides the resident a well-rounded experience in pediatric clinical practice, research, and academia that will enhance the resident's ability to build his or her own pediatric pharmacy practice.

Abstract:
Abstract It is unclear how nursing homes in the U.S. prepare for the specific needs of residents with obesity at a population level in terms of equipment availability, policies, staff training, and special care units. Using a mail survey of Directors of Nursing (DON) to 420 Pennsylvania Nursing Homes in 2017 and 2018, we examined the reported presence of obesity-specific equipment availability, organizational policies, staff training, and special care units. We compared the presence of these adaptation approaches by whether the DON strongly agreed that obesity was a problem for resident and staff safety using χ2 tests. One hundred fifty-one surveys were returned and included in the analysis (response rate of 36%). 80.7% of respondents were, on average, very concerned when asked about 11 resident medical, functional, relational, and staff-related safety outcomes (e.g., pressure ulcers, hospital readmissions, social isolation, and staff injury). DONs reported reduced equipment availability in nursing homes for obesity-specific beds (66%), walkers (34%), bedside commodes (30%), and gowns (28%). The presence of obesity-specific organizational policies (44%), staff training (26%), and special care units (7%) was limited. DON strong agreement with obesity-related resident and staff safety issues was significantly associated with obesity-specific bed availability (p=0.04) but was not significantly associated with obesity-specific organizational policies (p=0.17), staff training (p=0.51), and special care units (p=0.09). Despite a high concern for resident and staff safety related to obesity care expressed by DONs, there is little appropriate nursing home organizational response as measured by policies, staff training or special care units.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to determine attitudes of Verde Valley residents toward the presence of National Park Service (NPS) units in the area. The study area is largely undeveloped rural land which includes a perennial riparian expanse along the Verde River in central Arizona. Three National Park Service units protect significant local archaeological relics. The general public and local land use decision makers were polled, using random mail surveys and telephone interviews, to determine local values toward economic, visual, cultural, historic and natural resource issues. Responses from each group were compiled and compared for similarities and significant divergence. Results indicate this is a fairly satisfied community which highly values local natural and scenic resources but values the cultural/historic resources to a lesser degree. Results also indicate a lack of association between the relationship of the Verde River and other natural resources with the presence of NPS units.

Abstract:
The known population of earth sheltered houses in Warren County, Kentucky were studied (a) to document building materials and techniques utilized, (b) to describe the residents demographically and document their attitudes regarding satisfaction with earth sheltered housing, and (c) to determine reasons for building and resources utilized in financing and planning, as well as problems encountered in regard to the earth sheltered house. Data on 21 housing units were collected through personal interviews. Data analysis was accomplished using contingency tables, chi-squares, Pearson's product-moment correlation, and multiple stepwise regression. The earth sheltered house found to provide residents with high satisfaction was generally a chambered elevational structure which had cast-in-place concrete walls at the earth contact points with an exposed wood frame roof and a concrete floor. Amounts of soil coverage on the exterior varied, as did the use of insulation below grade. Waterproofing systems usually included drainage tile, swale(s), plastic sheeting, and a built-up asphalt or pitch coating applied to the exterior walls. A wood stove and central heating system were the most frequently used sources of heat. Air conditioning was utilized by most residents in the summer, although a window air conditioning unit often provided adequate cooling of the entire house. Ventilation was not a concern and dehumidification was seldom a concern for the residents. All 19 original owners (90% of the house owners in the study) acted as their own contractors, hiring professionals for such tasks as soil testing and subcontracting, and most reported no difficulty with financing and planning the earth sheltered house. Information on building the earth sheltered house was most often obtained from family and friends. The most common reasons for choosing this housing alternative were energy conservation and low cost. Resident satisfaction was high for most aspects of the earth sheltered house included in the study. All residents reported high overall satisfaction with the earth sheltered house and most of the housing systems investigated. Significant (p < .01) contributors to residents' computed total satisfaction score (TSS) were satisfaction with lack of mildew and satisfaction with natural lighting in the house (90% of variance explained). The addition of satisfaction with lack of condensation on windows, satisfaction with exterior appearance, and satisfaction with performance of the waterproofing system to the regression equation brought the explained variance to 98%. Significant (p < .01) to residents' self-reported overall satisfaction with their earth sheltered houses were satisfaction with heating and cooling expenses and satisfaction with interior surface temperature (59% variance explained). None of the other variables, housing related or demographic, added significantly to explained variance in the TSS or self-reported overall satisfaction with earth sheltered housing.

Abstract:
This study focussed on the non-institutionalized spouses of extended care unit (ECU) residents using the UBC Model for Nursing as the conceptual framework. The purpose was to elicit the visiting spouses' perceptions of the impact on their lives of having a spouse in an ECU, the coping behaviours they used, and the factors influencing or determining their coping behaviours. Data were collected through relatively unstructured interviews with nine visiting spouses. The three women and six men were married to disabled spouses who had lived in the ECU for an average of three years. Data analysis proceeded through the constant comparative method. Participants saw their spouses' institutionalization as part of a process of change beginning before the actual admission. The impact of having a spouse in an ECU was felt by participants as one of enduring loneliness and continuing preoccupation with their disabled spouses. Loneliness was interpreted to arise from the absence of intimacy in their lives and their preoccupation, from continuing caring for and attachment to their disabled spouses. The participants described a variety of coping behaviours and influencing factors. These were clustered around four aspects of their lives: the disabled spouse; painful emotions; the roles formerly performed by the disabled spouse; and social participation. Three core concepts emerged from the data. These were: perceiving mutuality in interactions with their disabled spouses; humanizing the institution; and integrating having a spouse in an ECU into the continuity of their lives. The last core concept had the greatest explanatory power. Nurses can facilitate the development of these three concepts by respecting the individuality of residents and visiting spouses and by ensuring that caring and competent nursing care is provided. Other implications for nursing practice and education as well as suggestions for further research are presented.

Abstract:
There is little research on the bereavement experience of elderly spouses, and the effects of long-term caregiving on bereavement. This study addresses the experience of bereavement of elderly spouses of Extended Care Unit residents; the coping skills they employ in the early months of bereavement; and the connections between coping and social supports. Interviews were held with 8 elderly male and female bereaved spouses between the ages of 70 and 85. The bereaved respondents were identified by the Social Work Department at several local Extended Care Units. All respondents were known to the social workers who contacted them to request participation in the study. Utilizing a grounded theory approach and qualitative methods, exploratory interviews were carried out in person with respondents. Recorded responses were transcribed and analysed. Content analysis was used to determine emergent themes and categories from the data. The respondents experienced anticipatory grief while their spouses were at the Extended Care Unit. They relied on their religious beliefs, previous activities and social supports during the bereavement period. The respondents desired to keep their spouses at home. Increased home services would have allowed them to do so. Bereavement follow-up and support are needed by this age group. Intervention appears to be as important before bereavement as it is afterwards.

A presente pesquisa investigou a percepção ambiental dos residentes do entorno do Parque Ambiental, situado na zona norte da cidade de Teresina/PI. A área natural, em questão, é protegida e encontra-se localizada no meio urbano. Portanto, está presente na vida dessas pessoas que, por sua vez, determinam a qualidade desse ambiente. A abordagem qualitativa, pautada na fenomenologia, revelou aspectos importantes do cotidiano dos moradores, que foram apresentados como a percepção da coletividade. Foram definidos três grupos ao longo da circunvizinhança do Parque, com conseqüente aplicação de questionários para analisar a percepção destes acerca da importância dada ao Parque e do reconhecimento das distintas funções exercidas por esta área natural protegida, em função dos diferentes espaços por eles ocupados em seu entorno. Os dados levantados foram analisados e apresentados em forma de tabela. Assim, a principal contribuição deste estudo está relacionada à geração de conhecimento que poderá subsidiar futuros projetos ambientais para esta Unidade, e que envolvam especialmente as comunidades circunvizinhas, com vistas à garantia da manutenção e da conservação do Parque Ambiental
The present research investigated the environmental perception of the surrounding residents from Parque Ambiental, located at the north zone of the city of Teresina/PI. The protected natural area in case is located in an urban place, hence, it is present in the life of these people, who determine the quality of this environment. The qualitative approach, based on phenomenology, revealed important aspects of the residents’ quotidian, that were presented with a collective perception. Three groups were defined among the surrounding neighborhood of the Park, with a consequent application of questionnaries, in order to analyse their perception about the importance given to the Park and the recognition of the distinct functions exercised by this protected natural area, in function of the different spaces occupied by them in its surrounding neighborhood. The collected data were analysed and presented in a table form. So, the mainly contribution of this study is related to the production of knowledge that can subsidize future environmental projects for this unit, involving specially the neighbor communities, in order to guarantee the maintenance and the conservation of Parque Ambiental

Abstract:
L’oggetto dell’analisi si situa all’intersezione di diversi ambiti disciplinari: letteratura, scienze dell’educazione, sociologia, psicologia. Nel presente lavoro, viene privilegiata un’analisi tematica della narrativa e la definizione identitaria delle “infanzie migranti” viene declinata seguendo percorsi di lettura che mettano in risalto alcune prospettive ricorrenti nei romanzi. Il corpus letterario selezionato include alcuni romanzi scritti in lingua inglese da sei scrittrici di origine indiana, in particolare Jamila Gavin, Rachna Gilmore, Anjali Banerjee, Rukhsana Khan, Ravinder Randhawa e Meera Syal. Nel primo capitolo si tracciano le premesse teoriche e metodologiche del lavoro, definendo il genere della letteratura per l’infanzia e interrogandoci sulle sue specificità in un contesto postcoloniale qual è quello indiano. Il secondo capitolo è dedicato alla definizione identitaria delle seconde generazioni, in particolar modo di quelle indo-britanniche e indo-canadesi, cui appartengono i protagonisti dei romanzi presi in esame. Nel terzo capitolo viene posta attenzione agli elementi che concorrono alla definizione identitaria dei giovani protagonisti dei romanzi, i quali si interrogano sul loro essere e sull’appartenenza interculturale. I dialoghi intergenerazionali tra i protagonisti e i nonni - o altre figure di guida - permettono alle scrittrici di raccontare la storia dell’India coloniale e della lotta per l’indipendenza dal punto di vista degli esclusi dalla storiografia ufficiale. Nel capitolo conclusivo si argomenta invece come la definizione identitaria si attui per mezzo dello spazio, tramite l’appartenenza ai luoghi, spazi caricati di significato, e per mezzo del viaggio, che può essere reale, immaginario o iniziatico. In tutti i casi, il viaggio porta alla scoperta del Sé, di un’identità ibrida e molteplice da parte dei personaggi.
The object of the work is at the intersection of different disciplines: literature, education, sociology and psychology. The thesis includes a thematic analysis of some novels written in English language by six women writers of Indian origin, in particular, Jamila Gavin, Rachna Gilmore, Anjali Banerjee, Rukhsana Khan, Ravinder Randhawa and Meera Syal. The first chapter traces the theoretical premises and the methodological framework, defining the genre of children's literature and questioning about its specificity in a postcolonial context. The second chapter is dedicated to the second generation identity issue, in particular on the Indo-British and Indo-Canadian identity definition. The third chapter focuses on the intergenerational dialogue between the protagonists and their grandparents, including the standpoint of those excluded from official history. Furthermore, it analyses the perception of diversity and the self-definition of youth through clothing. The final chapter deals with the definition of identity carried through spaces, places and journeys.

Resumo: A presente pesquisa investigou a percepção ambiental dos residentes do entorno do Parque Ambiental, situado na zona norte da cidade de Teresina/PI. A área natural, em questão, é protegida e encontra-se localizada no meio urbano. Portanto, está presente na vida dessas pessoas que, por sua vez, determinam a qualidade desse ambiente. A abordagem qualitativa, pautada na fenomenologia, revelou aspectos importantes do cotidiano dos moradores, que foram apresentados como a percepção da coletividade. Foram definidos três grupos ao longo da circunvizinhança do Parque, com conseqüente aplicação de questionários para analisar a percepção destes acerca da importância dada ao Parque e do reconhecimento das distintas funções exercidas por esta área natural protegida, em função dos diferentes espaços por eles ocupados em seu entorno. Os dados levantados foram analisados e apresentados em forma de tabela. Assim, a principal contribuição deste estudo está relacionada à geração de conhecimento que poderá subsidiar futuros projetos ambientais para esta Unidade, e que envolvam especialmente as comunidades circunvizinhas, com vistas à garantia da manutenção e da conservação do Parque Ambiental
Abstract: The present research investigated the environmental perception of the surrounding residents from Parque Ambiental, located at the north zone of the city of Teresina/PI. The protected natural area in case is located in an urban place, hence, it is present in the life of these people, who determine the quality of this environment. The qualitative approach, based on phenomenology, revealed important aspects of the residents' quotidian, that were presented with a collective perception. Three groups were defined among the surrounding neighborhood of the Park, with a consequent application of questionnaries, in order to analyse their perception about the importance given to the Park and the recognition of the distinct functions exercised by this protected natural area, in function of the different spaces occupied by them in its surrounding neighborhood. The collected data were analysed and presented in a table form. So, the mainly contribution of this study is related to the production of knowledge that can subsidize future environmental projects for this unit, involving specially the neighbor communities, in order to guarantee the maintenance and the conservation of Parque Ambiental

Abstract:
Abstract Most articles on menstruation start by pointing out that menstruation is a normal biological process. This, of course, is true. But at the same time, menstruation is so much more for many people; in fact, it is fundamental. Menstruation unites the personal and the political, the intimate and the public, and the physiological and the socio-cultural. The chapters in this section demonstrate the importance—and indeed urgency—of considering the lived experiences of all menstruators. These vary widely and are shaped by a range of different factors including religion, culture, political systems, socialization, caste, disability, place of residence, among many others. In many cases, an intersection of factors such as gender and disability, or gender, religion, and caste determine menstrual experiences and the underlying power relations.

Abstract:
AbstractRising income inequality is a critical problem in both the global North and South. In the United States, the Gini coefficient measuring nationwide income inequality rose from 0.403 in 1980 to 0.480 in 2014 (US Census), and residential segregation by income has increasingly occurred in many metropolitan regions and is particularly reflected in the spatial separation of the wealthiest households. This chapter focuses on the change in the level of income inequality in the Los Angeles region since 1980 and how it is related to changes in residential segregation between economic groups over that same time period. We use data from the US Census collected in 1980, 1990, 2000, and 2010. We measure residential segregation between economic groups based on occupational structure, and measure ‘neighbourhoods’ using Census tracts: these are units defined by the US Census and typically average about 4,000 residents. The overall level of inequality in the region is measured at each decade point using the Gini coefficient for household income. Maps demonstrate where different socioeconomic status groups have tended to locate and how economic segregation has changed in Los Angeles over this time period. We also assess the extent to which changes in inequality are related to changes in economic segregation over the last four and a half decades.

AbstractIn this chapter, we report the case of a co-design project undertaken in the Shimojin district that was severely damaged by the 2016 Kumamoto Earthquakes. We, IDS3, and local residents have not only attempted to recover the aforementioned district from the damages it suffered due to the earthquakes but also unite its entire community, which is currently suffering from population decline and aging. To supplement its local agriculture, we initiated the co-design project as a means to promote rice branding by adding value by utilizing the biodiversity in the district and transforming the district’s rice paddy fields into eco-friendly paddy systems. We were involved with the project since the consensus building phase owing to our co-design experience with regard to restoration planning at disaster restoration sites and knowledge about the district. We primarily conducted our research in three fields: (1) design of the recovery plan of eco-friendly paddy fields and agricultural ditches, (2) consensus formation for rice branding, (3) exploration of eco-friendly farming method suitable for the region under study.

Abstract:
The profound economic, social, and cultural rights battles have taken place in recent years raise the issue of migration the subject of extensive scientific debate. In Italy, it is the presence of a diffusion model, more or less evenly distributed throughout the national territory, with some differences in the different Italian provinces (Caritas Migrantes, 2008; 2009). In the work, the authors study aims primarily to check for actual regular foreigners in their country, analyzing the economic system at the provincial level and comparing the level of employment of non-resident foreign population than foreign. This objective is reached also through the use of methods of spatial cluster aimed at the aggregation of spatial units territorially contiguous, by forcing the various units making up each cluster.

<em>Abstract.</em>—White sturgeon <em>Acipenser transmontanus</em> were captured and transplanted from the free-flowing Columbia River downstream from Bonneville Dam and released into the Dalles Reservoir, during 1994 and 1995, in an attempt to evaluate a means of supplementing natural recruitment. In 1997, we estimated that 99% of the 1994 transplants and 80% of the 1995 transplants had survived. Growth of transplanted fish within the reservoir appeared similar to resident fish, and mean relative weights were greater than resident fish. Distribution of transplanted fish was significantly different from resident fish. The greatest difference occurred in the reservoir section containing the tailrace of the upstream dam in the study area; otherwise distributions appeared similar. Our survival estimate for 1995 transplants may be negatively biased by their smaller size (they had less time to grow), which may have reduced their vulnerability to capture by setlines. Survival and condition of transplanted fish show transplanting is a tenable method for supplementing populations. Relatively limited capital investment and the presence of a robust donor population allowed transplantation to be implemented in a short time frame, with a range of age classes from a naturally diverse parent population. However, the size of the donor population will ultimately limit the magnitude of a transplant program. Ongoing work to describe Columbia River white sturgeon will aid in defining the geographic extent of potential recipient populations by characterizing evolutionary-significant units for the species.

Abstract:
The article examines the urban identity of the inhabitants of the Ural metropolis. Today, urbanisation has reached an enormous scale and speed of development, and these processes cannot but have an impact on certain changes in human life. For people to live productively, there must be some common ground, something to unite them, something to hold them together. Urban identity is the inception of unity. The study is aimed at the analysis of what city dwellers think about the existence/absence of urban identity. The study was conducted in 2018 in Yekaterinburg, which is one of the largest metropolises in the Urals; for the purpose of the research, qualitative and quantitative strategies were applied. During the study, 345 Yekaterinburg residents were enquired via the combination questionnaire method (online survey, street interview). The sampling was random. Respondents were randomly sampled from city residents born in Yekaterinburg and having resided in the city for over 20 years. The study revealed that Yekaterinburg residents recognise the existence of urban identity in the metropolis. City residents attribute major significance to local identity (47.0 % of respondents). Its indicators are the residents’ engagement with the city, the urban space, knowledge of the city’s culture, and being born in or living in the metropolis for a long time. Territorial and national identities are of minor significance in the practice of integration into urban space. The survey found that every second person surveyed thinks that ideally one should be born and grow up in Yekaterinburg, passing through all the stages of socialisation, and if they were not born, then they should live in the city for at least 10 years to be a true resident of Yekaterinburg.

Abstract:
Many environmental flows are simulated in a Cartesian domain using buoyancy-driven incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. A significant cost of the simulation is devoted to the solution of the elliptic pressure equation to enforce the conservation of mass principle. The legacy software, FISHPACK, has been used for this purpose for many years. We present a new software package for the direct solution of the pressure Poisson’s equation on a directionally uniform Cartesian mesh with a second-order accurate finite-difference formulation. We use the separation of variables principle and adopt fast Fourier transforms (FFT) to convert the system to a group of independent tridiagonal systems that can be solved directly. The computational complexity of the present methodology is proportional to N2 (O(NlogN)). However, each stage of the solution algorithm can be performed simultaneously leading to a pleasingly parallel problem that is well suited for massively-threaded accelerators, such as modern graphics processing units (GPU). Theoretically speaking, if an accelerator can sustain N2 resident threads, the computational complexity will drop to O(NlogN). We use OpenACC directives with cuFFT library on a GPU to realize substantial acceleration of the overall solution algorithm and compare its performance relative to an implementation that used the FFTW library on central processing units (CPU). For a problem with 5123 points, the GPU version is about 17 × faster than the CPU version.

Abstract. Against the increasing number of single households, we have been proposing the “Biofied Building” that provides a safe, secure, and comfortable living space for a resident using a small home robot. The robot can be used for real-time sensing of the resident’s position and behavior. On the other hand, for further use of the robot, such as choosing a path that does not disturb the resident, a phase to predict the resident’s behavior is necessary. Walking, which is one of the most basic activities of daily living, is often targeted in studies of motion prediction. However, most of them deal with steady walking, even though walking in daily life includes unsteady walking such as the turning motion. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to extract the prediction parameters to construct a prediction method for the unsteady 90-degree turn. In this study, we explored the effective prediction parameters for 90-degree turns based on the measured data using the inertial measurement unit (IMU) based motion capture system aiming to introduce the prediction of unsteady walking to the “Biofied Building”.

Abstract:
A residential heat pump water heater (HPWH) of integral-type design (heat pump unit mounted directly to tank with no water circulation pump) has undergone both durability and field performance testing. Results of two rounds of durability testing and evaluation of as-installed field efficiency vs ambient conditions at HPWH location are summarized in this paper. Ten of the HPWHs were run through an initial durability test designed to represent seven to ten years of normal compressor cycling to meet hot water needs of a residence. The first generation control system proved to be the least reliable component of the units with a 40% failure rate for its temperature input sensors and one complete system failure. After modification of the controls a second durability test was run with five units. There were essentially no operational failures during the second test. In parallel with the durability tests, HPWH units were installed in occupied residences at 18 US locations and field performance data were collected for 1–2 years. Results for two units with differing degrees of exposure to seasonal ambient air temperature and supply water temperature variations are presented and interpreted in this paper. For the first unit, installed in a conditioned space with well water supply, such seasonal temperature variations were small. The average field-measured coefficient of performance (COP) over a 75-week test period for this unit was 2.44 ±5% and weekly averages ranged from 9% below to 10% above the overall average. For the second unit, installed in an unconditioned space with city water supply, the seasonal temperature variations were substantial. Its average COP was 1.81 ±5% over a 104-week test period and weekly averages ranged from 38% below to 28% above that value.

Full text
Abstract:
Short-term rentals mediated by digital platforms have positive and negative impacts that are unevenly distributed among socio-economic groups and places. Detrimental impacts on the housing market and quality of life of long-term residents have been particular contentious in some cities. • In the 12 cities studied in the report (Amsterdam, Barcelona, Berlin, Brussels, Lisbon, London, Madrid, Milan, Paris, Prague, Rome and Vienna), city governments have responded differently to the growth of short-term rentals. • The emerging local regulations of short-term rentals take multiple forms and exhibit various degrees of stringency, ranging from rare cases of laissez-faire to a few cases of partial prohibition or strict quantitative control. Most city governments have sought to find a middle-ground approach that differentiates between the professional rental of whole units and the occasional rental of one’s home/ primary residence. • The regulation of short-term rentals is contentious and highly politicised. Six broad categories of interest groups and non-state actors actively participate in the debates with contrasting positions: advocates of the ‘sharing’ or ‘collaborative’ economy; corporate platforms; professional organisatons of short-term rental operators; new associations of hosts or ‘home-sharers’; the hotel and hospitality industry; and residents’ associations/citizens’ movements. • All city governments face difficulties in implementing and enforcing the regulations, due to a lack of sufficient resources and to the absence of accurate and comprehensive data on individual hosts. That data is held by corporate platforms, which have generally not accepted to release it (with a few exceptions) nor to monitor the content of their listings against local rules. • The relationships between platforms and city governments have oscillated between collaboration and conflict. Effective implementation is impossible without the cooperation of platforms. • In the context of the European Union, the debate has taken a supranational dimension, as two pieces of EU law frame the possibility — and acceptable forms — of regulation of online platforms and of short-term rentals in EU member states: the 2000 E-Commerce Directive and the 2006 Services Directive. • For regulation to be effective, the EU legal framework should be revised to ensure platform account- ability and data disclosure. This would allow city (and other ti ers of) governments to effectively enforce the regulations that they deem appropriate. • Besides, national and regional governments, who often control the legislative framework that defines particular types of short-term rentals, need to give local governments the necessary tools to be able to exercise their ‘right to regulate’ in the name of public interest objectives.
