Full textAbstract:
"Unplanned settlements represent a twentieth-century phenomenon that has been steadily growing on the periphery of almost all cities in the world. These areas are usually overpopulated and characterized by inadequate housing, unpleasant living conditions. Jeddah, a second major city in Saudi Arabia, consists of many unplanned settlements and slums, which affect the future development of its urban and social fabric. This paper intends to explore some essential issues relating to the issues of unplanned settlements in Jeddah through the study, analysis, and assessment of the built environment of Al-Sabeel district, one of the oldest districts in Jeddah. The main objective of this research is to investigate the major physical problems of the deteriorated areas of the district. Thus, the primary purpose is to define a set of recommendations for the upgrading of future unplanned settlements, which will help these informal areas to improve and gradually integrate into the existing urban fabric of the city. Regarding methodology, a qualitative research approach was adopted, which included a literature review, a face-to-face interviews, and field visits to document the physical condition of the built environment of the district. The outcome of the study represents a set of recommendations that indicate the importance of community participation approach as a means of improving the physical condition of the urban environment of Al-Sabeel district."

Full textAbstract:
This paper explores how educational interventions impact the districts they are implemented in above and beyond their intended outcomes. We argue that such unplanned “ripple effects”, in which program elements are recontextualized into other settings, are an important aspect of bringing educational interventions to scale. We analyze these phenomena in one Israeli district in which a teacher leadership and professional learning community initiative has been implemented and rapidly scaled up over the past five years. Extensive longitudinal ethnographic data were collected, including participant-observation in schools, professional development workshops, district management meetings and initiative-related events; 75 interviews with teachers and school and district management; and multiple informal conversations. We identify “ripples” in four arenas, and discuss the importance of individuals as mechanisms for transferring ideas across contexts, the role of ripples in advancing the initiative’s ethos, and the ripples’ long-term sustainability. Our findings suggest more attention should be paid to the impact of educational reforms on meaningful change beyond their original aims and settings. Alongside possible affordances these ripple effects have in the scaling up process, careful consideration should be given to their latent disadvantages, such as obscuring the program’s primary agenda.

Floods shows an increase both in number and in terms of damages they cause in tropical climates as well as in Turkey which is not located in tropical region. With the increasing population density and unplanned urbanization, life and property losses become inevitable as a result of these floods. In this study, the flood analysis of the section between the beginning and the end of the Sünlük District settlement located on the border of Karadere Stream in the Mustafakemalpaşa District of Bursa Province was assessed. The planning works of the Sünlük Dam on the Karadere Stream, which is intended to provide drinking water and industrial water to the Mustafakemalpaşa and Karacabey Districts of Bursa Province, are continuing by the 1st Regional Directorate of State Hydraulic Works of Turkey (DSI). Flood areas were determined with the help of the HEC-RAS (Hydrologic Engineering Centers River Analysis System) software and applying the Q1000, Q10000 and QMMF (probable maximum flood) flood return period flow rates at the Karadere Stream which obtained from the dam planning studies. It was concluded that the damage caused by QMMF can reach up to 1000000 TL once flood occur.

Full textAbstract:
Examining the precarious status of informal settlements in Kigali at a time of large-scale planning-induced expropriation, this article considers urban contestation in the context of the city’s changing spatial-legal regime. We analyse the case of one informal settlement’s expropriation and relocation – the settlement of Bannyahe – and the contestation that has ensued as resident property owners take the District of Gasabo to court. Through interviews with settlement residents, we follow the fates of these displaced urban citizens and consider their struggles to remain in their homes. Finally, we suggest that such contestation over legal procedural regularity and negotiation over property valuation at the neighbourhood level forms the limit of overt opposition to the city’s masterplan. Terming these limits to contestation “silent boundaries” that circumscribe contestation for property owners in the Bannyahe settlement, we offer perspectives on contestation and compromise amidst urban socio-spatial reordering in the “new Kigali”.

Children's playgrounds which are safe and quiet environments that children can play there have started to become rare as a result of rapid urbanization. Because, the studies have shown that unplanned and distorted urban spaces affect children's behaviours, attitudes and reactions in a bad way. In this study, the availability of children's playgrounds in 22 districts of the city centre of Ordu was investigated. In this context, firstly, children's play areas were determined based on the neighbourhood scale and then area calculations were made and the amount of play area by per child between 0-14 years was calculated in each district. In the second stage, accessibility maps for children's playgrounds were obtained by determining the availability of the playgrounds at 200m distance. The results of this study showed that children's playgrounds are not balanced in the city, increased in some districts, in some cases they are not within reachability limits and can not meet their needs.

Background: Common mental disorders such as anxiety and depression among mothers of young children and expectants can silently deteriorate the health of the mother with significant impact on the newborn. The primary aims were to determine the proportion of pregnant women and mothers of children under one year with anxiety and depression and their associated factors in Sindhupalchowk.Methods: We used the Hopkins Symptom Checklist 25 and a structured questionnaire in a cross-sectional study to collect information from 778 women (164 pregnant women, 614 mothers of children under one year) selected through multi-stage sampling. Results: Among pregnant women, the study found that 21.3% (95%CI:15.7–28.3) had anxiety and 23.8% (95%CI:17.8–31.0) had depression. Being from the Dalit ethnic group was independently associated with anxiety and depression. Among mothers of children under one year, 18.7% (95%CI:15.7–22.1) had anxiety and 15.2% (95%CI:12.4–18.4) had depression. Among these women, low education level; primary source of family income being agriculture, animal husbandry or labour; history of unplanned pregnancy; and use of tobacco were independently associated with anxiety and history of unplanned pregnancy and use of tobacco were independently associated with depression.Conclusions: A substantial proportion of women had anxiety and depression with higher odds of anxiety and depression in certain group of women. Targeted health system interventions are needed for improving the psychological well being of women, including pregnant women, as well as newborn health and wellbeing.

AbstractObjectiveFrom January 29 through February 5, 2013, a school district outside metropolitan Denver, Colorado, was closed because of absenteeism related to influenza-like illness (ILI) among students and staff. We evaluated the consequences and acceptability of the closure among affected households.MethodsWe conducted a household survey regarding parent or guardian employment and income interruptions, alternative child care arrangements, interruption of noneducational school services, ILI symptoms, student re-congregation, and communication preferences during the closure.ResultsOf the 35 (31%) of 113 households surveyed, the majority (28 [80%]) reported that the closure was not challenging. Seven (20%) households reported challenges: 5 (14%) reported that 1 or more adults missed work, 3 (9%) reported lost pay, and 1 (3%) reported challenges because of missed subsidized school meals. The majority (22 [63%]) of households reported that a hypothetical 1-month closure would not represent a problem; 6 of 8 households that did anticipate challenges reported that all adults worked outside the home. The majority (58%) of students visited at least 1 outside venue during the closure.ConclusionsA brief school closure did not pose a major problem for the majority of the affected households surveyed. School and public health officials should consider the needs of families in which all adults work outside the home when creating school closure contingency plans.

Full textAbstract:
Cette recherche porte un regard holistique sur la ville actuelle de Djeddah, notamment sur ses parties construites après la révolution industrielle — des pays du Golfe en général et l’Arabie Saoudite en particulier — pour comprendre le décalage entre la forme urbaine dominante et les besoins des habitants. Pour répondre à cette question, nous examinons les évolutions politiques, démographiques et technologiques qui ont produit cette forme spatiale dans l’optique d’identifier les sources de ce décalage et de scruter la nature du refus exprimé par les habitants et les penseurs locaux de la ville. Un des résultats importants de cette analyse est l’identification de la fracture entre l’habitat et le quartier. Dans les quartiers planifiés, on constate un refus des habitants manifesté par des dysfonctionnements et une inadaptation aux pratiques coutumières des habitants. En ce qui concerne les quartiers non planifiés, si leur existence a contribué aussi à la résolution du problème de logements pour la partie de la population la plus fragile, on constate une dégradation importante des habitations. Mais dans ces deux tissus urbains différents, il existe des avantages et des inconvénients qui sont analysés dans ce travail de rechercheThis research presents a holistic view of the current city of Jeddah, in its parts built after the Industrial Revolution – Gulf countries in general and Saudi Arabia in particular – to understand the gap between the dominant urban form and the needs of the inhabitants. To answer this question, we examine the political, demographic and technological developments that have produced this spatial form in order to detect the sources of this gap and to examine the nature of the rejection expressed by the inhabitants and local thinkers of the city. One of the important results of this analysis is the identification of the gap between the residence and the neighbourhood. In the planned neighbourhoods, there is a refusal manifested by dysfunctions and a maladjustment to the customary practices of the inhabitants. In the case of unplanned neighbourhoods, while their existence has also contributed to solving the housing problem for the most vulnerable part of the population, there is a significant deterioration of housing. But in these two different urban fabrics, there are advantages and disadvantages that are analysed in this research work

ABSTRACT
Teenage pregnancy is a health and social problem in Malawi as a result of physical,
psychological and socio-economic consequences on the teenage mother, family and the society
as a whole. Although studies have been conducted on the prevalence and risk factors that cause
teenage pregnancy in Malawi before, detailed reports are scanty, especially for Zomba district.
In spite of studies and interventions that have been and are being implemented, the prevalence
of unplanned teenage pregnancy in Malawi is still high, suggesting that more efforts are
required to achieve effective preventive measures.
The aim of this study was to explore risk factors such as cultural issues, non-use of
contraceptives, lack of knowledge on sexual and reproductive health, circumstances of first sex,
gender power dynamics, sexual and physical violence, age difference between teenage girls and
their partners and socio-economic status for unplanned teenage pregnancy in Zomba district of
Malawi. A cross-sectional analytic design was used. Five antenatal clinics were selected using
a stratified and simple random sampling technique. Data were obtained from 505 participants
under the age of 20 years using a questionnaire administered through face-to-face interviews.
Descriptive statistics were used to analyse data and comparisons between planned and
unplanned teenage pregnancy were conducted using the Chi-squared (P ≤ 0.05) and logistic
regression model to predict factors for unplanned pregnancy. Findings reveal that unplanned pregnancy accounted for 76.4% of teenagers attributable to early sex and marriage, low
contraceptive use, educational levels and socio-economic status, lack of knowledge of
reproductive and sexual health, physical and sexual violence and substance abuse, transactional
sex due to poverty, early school dropout, misleading counselling causing a lack of knowledge
on sexual and reproductive health and gender inequalities.
Recommendations made are aimed at eliminating myths and misconceptions surrounding the
use of contraceptives and condoms, empowering teenagers economically and in decision
making, promoting career guidance, awareness on human rights, including sexual and
reproductive rights and implications of early marriage and training of traditional counsellors. A
multisectoral approach, including government, Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) and
communities, is required to implement these recommendations.

Unplanned Extubation (UE) is a common type of adverse incidents which cause certain level of injury to patient. It may increase days stay in hospital and medical expense. This study aimed to evaluate risk factors of self-extubation for hospitalized patients. We applied the SEIPS 2.0（Systems Engineering Initiative for Patient Safety）model to examine the risk factors of self-extubation, self-extubation of the nasogastric tube, severe UE incidents, and reintubation after UE. A retrospective study was performed. Data were retrieved from the Patient Safety Reporting System durning 2012 and 2016 in a district hospital. A total of 949 UE cases occurred during this 5-year period. According to the SEIPS 2.0 model, healthcare work system was devided to three components which were person(s), tools and technologies, and organization. The healthcare work processes was devided to two components which were patient, and collaborative work. Data were analyzed by using Chi-square or t test. Binary logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors of UE. The results of Chi-square test or t test were as follows: the related factors leading to self-extubation were age, the types of wards, lack of adequate sedation, physical restraint, previous UE experience of a week, and activity type while UE occurring. The related factors leading to self-extubation of the nasogastric tube were lack of companion, the types of wards, lack of adequate sedation, physical restraint, and previous UE experience of a week. The related factors leading to severe UE incidents were lack of companion, lack of companion while UE occurring, the types of wards, level of consciousness, physical restraint, previous UE experience of a week, and activity type while UE occurring. The related factors leading to reintubation after UE were age, the material of fixing the tube, level of consciousness, previous UE experience of a week, and activity type while UE occurring. The results of binary logistic regression were as follows: the risk factors of self-extubation were ICU patients (p=0.037), lack of adequate sedation(p=0.000), and when patient at rest(p=0.001). Risk factor associated with self-extubation of the nasogastric tube was lack of adequate sedation(p=0.000). Risk factors associated with severe UE incidents were lack of companion while UE occurred (p=0.016), surgical patients(p=0.001), presence of agitation (p=0.044), physical restraint(p=0.019), previous UE experience of a week (p=0.002), bathing(p=0.001), and turning the bed(p=0.018). Risk factors associated with reintubation after UE were age (p=0.004), the material of securing the tube (p=0.036), internal medicine patients(p=0.000), previous UE experience of a week (p=0.000), caring (p=0.037), and bathing (p=0.036). The types of wards, lack of adequate sedation, when patient at rest were important risk factors for self-extubation. A lack of adequate sedation was an important risk factor for self-extubation of the nasogastric tube. It is recommended that careful monitoring and management of sedatives can help prevent UE, adequate application of physical restraints might reduce the incidents of UE. Previous UE experience of a week was an important risk factor for severe UE incidents and reintubation after UE, it is recommended that once UE occurs, appropriate steps must be taken to prevent further negatively influence on patent. Since UE occurred during bathing and turning bed were two important risk factors for severe UE incidents, the position of the tube must be checked before bathing or turning bed.

Objective: To apply the inpatient database of a regional teaching hospital in the south of Taiwan to construct a predictive model for non-planned readmission within 14 days. Methods: This study is a retrospective related study. The study sample was a hospitalized database from January 1, 2016 to October 31, 2017. Of the total 38,593 hospitalizations, and 1,336 patients were unplanned re-admission within 14 days. Result: Of the 1,336 patients, 627 of them were over 65 years old, 292 of them were between 46-65 years old, 218 of them were between 21-45 years old, 13 of them were between 11-20, and 186 of them were between 0-10 years old. In addition, in the past year, a total of 79 people whose medical visits was more than 50 times, and 49 of them were over 65 years old, 20 of them were over 50 years old, and the rest were under 50 years old, showing 62% of those over 65 years old. Moreover, there were 387 visits through the clinic and 949 referrals through the emergency department. It can be seen that the proportion of patients hospitalized after emergency referrals was 2.45 times higher than that of referrals through outpatient clinics. Conclusion: The predictors of non-planned re-hospitalization after admission within 14 days are mainly the number of medical visits in the previous year, the source of admission, the diseases of genitourinary organs, congenital malformations, endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases and immune disorders, other factors such as tumors, major injuries, age of the patient, injury and poisoning, and admission to the department. The people who are aged 65 and above and whose medical visits in the previous year are more than 50 times are at high risks. In addition, the referrals through the emergency department were also. Among them, those who were elderly had major injuries and allergies were in the high-risk group of un-planned re-admission to the hospital within 14 days.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractMaize farming in resettlement areas of Chirumanzu District of Zimbabwe is vulnerable to climatic variations. The Government of Zimbabwe encourages maize farmers in resettlement areas to adapt to climate variability through conservation farming and diversification among other measures. It is envisaged that the measures will improve maize farmers’ resilience and ability to safeguard food and nutrition security in the country. However, the process of adaptation is dynamic, complex, and multifaceted in nature. Several problems and dangers accompany the process of adaptation. The problems and dangers are associated with intangible and indirect costs. The focus of this chapter is to explore intangible and indirect costs associated with measures adopted by maize farmers in resettlement areas of Chirumanzu in Zimbabwe. Fifty-four maize farmers from four resettlement wards provided the data through semi-structured interviews. Diversification, changing planting dates, use of drought tolerant varieties were some of the measures adopted. Several problems and dangers accompanied the adaptation measures adopted. Intangible costs such as pain and suffering, embarrassment, ridicule, and stereotyping were experienced. Indirect costs including additional and unplanned costs were also encountered. This chapter concludes that intangible and indirect costs associated with adaptation may result in reduced adaptive capacity and resilience of maize farmers. Therefore, national governments should exercise extreme caution and desist from only encouraging farmers to adapt. Rather, they should consider intangible and indirect costs involved while providing solutions to reduce them to avoid situations where farmers are worse off while facilitating sustainable adaptation.

Full textAbstract:
The failure of federal efforts to reform title meant that federal officials in the territories found themselves, unwillingly, adjudicating conflicting claims to ownership, often in ad hoc, unplanned fashion outside of courts. This chapter describes three sets of adjudications of territorial land rights. The first involved conflicting assertions of different Native nations to ownership, as federal officials, as part of their effort to “extinguish” Native title, had to decide which nation owned which land. The effort led them to try to understand Native land laws in an effort to parse these claims. The second required wading into the land rights of the French habitants of the Illinois Country, where territorial officials similarly attempted to understand past French land law to confirm preexisting claims to title. The third concerned veterans of the Revolutionary War, who were promised land in the U.S. Military District in the Northwest Territory. Frequently defrauded out of their rights, these holders of the so-called bounty lands appealed to the U.S. Secretary of War to protect their title. In all three cases, the result was that federal officials distilled the territories’ plural sources of ownership into a single federal title issued under federal authority. This decades’ worth of difficult and unheralded legal and administrative work became the foundation for the federal land system, especially when the Harrison Land Act of 1800 codified the resolution to long-standing heated debates about the public lands.

Full textAbstract:
The Manhattan Engineer District previously used the 191-acre Niagara Falls Storage Site (NFSS) in Niagara County, New York, to store radioactive residues and wastes from uranium (U) ore processing. At present, management practices will determine whether enhanced evapotranspiration rates produced by hybridized shrub willow cuttings planted in 2016 will affect groundwater hydrology. Two shrub willow varieties were planted in an approximately one-half acre area to examine growth performance along a U impacted sanitary sewer line. Additionally, control plots will compare the effectiveness of shrub willows to unplanted areas. Observations of the planted area after 18 months showed success of shrub willow growth with increasing biomass. Chemical analysis from tree tissue samples of the field study showed no significant uptake of U or thorium (Th) to date. A greenhouse study conducted in parallel to the field study tested the willows under controlled greenhouse conditions and evaluated their ability to grow and accumulate contaminants under controlled conditions. Results from the greenhouse study demonstrated that U accumulation was minimal. Thus, this study demonstrates that the shrub willows are not accumulators of U or Th, an advantageous characteristic that implies stabilized contaminants in the soil and no translocation of U into the aboveground biomass.
