Healthy social and emotional development and longer-term outcomes for children are shaped by factors across the multiple levels (micro, meso, exo, macro) of a child’s environment. By employing a novel systems science and participatory approach, we were able to co-produce a series of causal loop diagrams that detail the complex relationships between variables operating at the community or neighborhood environment level (e.g., features of the built environment such as: housing type, access, availability, and location; parks and greenspace, facilities such as community services, and other service infrastructure such as transit), and highlight the individual and collective impacts these relationships can have on the subsystem surrounding a child’s social and emotional well-being. Our approach provides a unique lens of knowledge through which communities can identify key leverage points for action and (re)design of community spaces, practices, and policy.
In 2021, the British Columbia (BC) Interior experienced a series of unprecedented disasters, ranging from extreme heat and wildfires to catastrophic flooding and evacuations. Along with these severe weather events, BC was affected by COVID-19 outbreaks and public health restrictions. Despite these challenges, communities worked to ensure that youths who are at risk for increased mental health challenges continued to have access to services that promote well-being, such as individual placement and support programs for supported employment and education. This Open Forum presents program considerations and adaptations in Foundry Penticton, one of 12 provincewide integrated youth hubs, to ensure service delivery during acute and chronic disasters.
Aerodynamics of circular cylinders with conical shaped pointed forebodies is studied experimentally at a subcritical Reynolds number of around 10 5 Attention is focused primarily on the side force coefficient at high angles of attack which has a maximum value comparable to that of lift and drag The main objective is to minimize the side force, which may lead to a large undesirable yawing moment Effectiveness of several procedures such as surface roughness helical strakes modified tip geometries, and tip rotation is assessed Results suggest nose boom and tip rotation to be promising in achieving this objective Nomenclature A = cyclinder cross sectional area wd 2 /4of conical sections (Fig 1) Re = Reynolds number pVd/n, S = side force V -freestream velocity o: = angle of attack a i <*2 <*3 -a p ex angles of conical forebodies (Fig 1) fji = viscosity of air P = density of air co = angular velocity of conical tip
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
