Assessment of a service-learning project experience in mobility and spatial data

To enhance sustainable and walkable cities we need to know which aspects of the urban environment affect children’s walkability and working on measures related to communication and education to ensure widespread awareness in society as a whole. The aim of this paper is to advance the implementation of participative and dynamic techniques at university level and targeting children from a sustainable mobility perspective. Through the Service-Learning project “Let's Walk Safely to School!” three specific objectives – related with learning, service and teaching are addressed. While learning, university students conducted a community service and resolved several challenges related with complementary skills for pedestrian mobility and Geographic Information Systems, while children learn mobility concepts. Its development combines the resolution of a challenge, learning by doing – since the whole process was carried out in a real context –, and cooperative learning. Using the results of a survey of 200 children studying in a school in Madrid, field work, and digital mapping, eight University students developed an interactive web map which classifies the streets around the school according to the children’s comfort level, safety/security and ease of travel. The participants broadened their academic competencies, while exchange skills, knowledge and expertise, and also acquired transversal competencies related to teamwork, organisation and planning, effective communication and knowledge of ICTs.

Urban (UMaaS) and rural (RMaaS) mobility as a service (MaaS): practical insights from international practitioners and experts

The concept and potential of Mobility as a Service (MaaS) has been the subject of significant debate in academia and industry for nearly a decade. There are several city-based Mobility as a Service (MaaS) pilots globally. There remains a significant lack of practitioner evidence of MaaS with the focus on city-based solutions rather than in rural and suburban areas. To that end, this paper asks four research questions to contribute to the gap in Rural MaaS (RMaaS) and Urban MaaS (UMaaS); firstly, is MaaS a mobility option for rural areas given the identified evidence in scientific literature? Secondly, how do practitioner experiences with MaaS (in all areas) differ considering factors like phraseology, geography, available modes, transportation, the origin and implementation stages? Thirdly, what practical learnings can be drawn from practitioners in the field? Fourthly, what is the future of MaaS for rural and urban areas. The research and findings are based upon grey literature and twenty semi-structured interviews with representatives from research or government organisations, public bodies, MaaS technology suppliers, transport operators and experts. Each participant discussed and contributed to the practicalities around real-world applications of MaaS in urban, regional, or rural areas. The analysis produced 2 applied tools which will be useful to practitioners interested in MaaS; a Thematic Map visualising the common matters emerging from the interviews revolving around ‘People, Policy, Practice and Pilots (4Ps); a Practical Framework for Implementing MaaS tool, which can be used by any practitioner at any stage of a MaaS project.

Mapping Musical Mobilities: Challenging Musical Nationalism through Mobility and Migration

Often, music—particularly classical music—has been viewed in some quarters as a product of particular national cultures, with little regard paid to the ways in which mobile phenomena can contribute to its production, whether in the form of mobile people, objects, or concepts. This paper turns to notions of mobility as a means of exploring how musical cultures can be animated. It explores, too, the possibilities of particular forms of “mapping” as a way to retain, but also rethink, the spatial specificity so emphatically signalled in some musical tradition-claiming, while simultaneously avoiding the excessive valorisation of mobility that can characterise many musical careers as endlessly nomadic or socially detached. We begin by discussing the question of music and nationalism in more detail, particularly as it has been conceived of within musicology, ethnomusicology, and nationalism studies. In so doing, we aim to establish a sense of the national framing and fixing through which (classical) music has hitherto been understood in some contexts. This leads naturally onto an attendant discussion of the mobility of music, in which we will outline some of the nascent material on this topic.

Tourist mobility: sociological theory and implementation practices

The article analyzes the connection between the sociology of tourism and the general sociological theory of mobility, which leads to an understanding of modern tourist mobility not as a process of revealing the will of individuals to learn about different cultures, but as a system of social constructions that exist in the form of tourism practices and are focused on maximizing profits for global tour operators. The methodology. The method of the propositional analysis is aimed at identifying logically based semantic units with the aim of selecting and synthesizing reliable knowledge expressed in texts written on issues of sociology of tourism and the general sociological theory of mobility. Scientific novelty is in clarifying the concept of tourist mobility and tourist practices; in revealing that they are largely the result of commercially oriented social construction carried out in the interests of global tour operators; in demonstrating that commercial and non-commercial tourist mobility entail incompatible social consequences. Conclusions. The article is devoted to current problems of modern sociology of tourism in its connection with the general theory of mobility (one of the founders of which was the British sociologist John Urry) that complemented the “old” theory of social mobility by the doctrine of the movement of people, goods, capital, information, etc. in geographical space. Now society has come to be understood as a mobile structure consisting of many mobile practices (including tourism) that can be aimed at either developing essential strength of people or control over their consciousness and behavior.

Професійна мобільність педагога як вимога сьогодення

The article thoroughly investigates the phenomenon of professional mobility among educators, explaining its essence, importance, and impact on personal development, self-actualization, and professional success. It presents the results of a theoretical study on the professional mobility of teachers as a scientific problem. Based on an analysis of scientific sources, the dynamic nature of professional mobility is highlighted, which includes changing professions, advancing qualifications, and changing positions and workplaces. These changes can be both intra-professional and external, driven by educators’ own desires for self-improvement and external factors related to the development of the education system, labour market dynamics, demographic changes, etc. Different types of professional mobility are discussed, including horizontal and vertical, ascending and descending ones. The article also examines the criteria for differentiating professional-pedagogical mobility of individuals. The importance of personal qualities in shaping professional mobility is highlighted, particularly openness to new experiences, readiness to learn, and the ability to work with information. Communication and presentation skills, stress resistance, and leadership qualities are also identified. Based on pedagogical research, the essence of the concept of professional mobility as a crucial characteristic of the modern educator, which promotes their professional development and success at work, is revealed. The qualities of an educator that contribute to successful professional mobility are specified. The necessity for educators to continually update their knowledge and skills to remain competitive in the modern world’s job market, where information is becoming increasingly accessible and technologies are developing rapidly, is highlighted. The results of the survey of teachers in the Lviv region are presented. Factors affecting professional mobility are identified. Ways to overcome the low level of professional mobility of teachers are proposed. Keywords: mobility, professional mobility, teacher, education, personal qualities of a teacher.

Investigating the impact of stop network designs on DRT operation

Modern on-demand mobility concepts have the potential to drive the mobility transition. Increasing attention is being paid to DRT (Demand Responsive Transportation) services that enable the bundling of trips with the help of dynamic routing algorithms. Many providers use a stop-based operating concept for this purpose. The transport between so-called virtual stops promises a higher fraction of shared trips and shorter vehicle detours. The aim of this paper is to investigate multiple stop network designs and their impacts on the efficiency of the operation. For this purpose, three stop network generation approaches were derived from literature and applied to the simulation environment MATSim. A scenario in the city center of Berlin is simulated, where all inner car trips are replaced by DRT. Comparing the stop network design against a door-to-door service, the results suggest a trade-off between a reduction of vehicle kilometers (up to 18%) and increased walking distances (up to 250 meters on average).

Optical strain measurements during pulsed laser beam welding to improve the understanding of hot crack formation of EN AW-6082 aluminum alloy

E-mobility turned in the last years to be an emerging market and one solution to fossil fuel free mobility for the future. E-mobility requires, compared to fossil-fueled mobility concepts, a huge amount of welding tasks, which have to guarantee different functionality, as for example high strength, ductility, but also low resistivity and tightness. Last is especially for housing or cases of aluminum in automotive challenging, as pores and cracks can occur. Pulsed laser welding presents, due to the adaptable heat input and the temporal modification of stress state and solidification conditions advantages for this type of applications. EN AW-6xxx group of aluminum alloys is mainly used for such components due to their favorable mechanical properties. However, these alloys are susceptible to hot cracking during solidification from the molten phase. This article aims to present a methodology for demonstrating the resulting strain during pulsed laser beam welding of hot crack susceptible aluminum alloys. It will highlight the influence of factors such as pulse shape, shielding gas, and flow rate on strain and strain rate.

The use of Escape Room as an alternative teaching strategy for sustainable mobility

Gamification and Escape Rooms (ER) are becoming useful tools to encourage attitudinal and behavioural changes and increase learning. In the field of sustainable mobility their use is not widespread and is, in most cases, related to digital games and mobile applications aimed largely at an adult audience. In this study, we explore the potential of this tool to encourage the learning of sustainable mobility concepts in children between the ages of 10 and 13. The experience created, through the resolution of tests and puzzles, has led the 105 students involved to experience, in a playful environment, the formation and learning of sustainable mobility concepts. To measure learning, a pre- and post-experience questionnaire has been provided and the results have been classified with some characteristics of the students such as gender and mobility habits. The analysis of the questionnaire data using multinomial logit models has allowed us to determine which variables affect the probability of answering correctly before and after the experience. In the results obtained we can observe that gender, bicycle use, public transport or the presence of many cars in the family are relevant variables when it comes to having knowledge about mobility issues and that the ER experience has favored a change, although minimal, in the acquisition of sustainable mobility concepts.

Byung-Chul Han and the anthropology of power: reflexive contributions

This essay engages in a discussion on concepts of power, contrasting the works of the South Korean philosopher Byung-Chul Han with discussions on the subject within the scope of anthropology. Within the limits of this essay, the text provides a minimal review of anthropological traditions of studies on power, followed by a presentation of themes that are exposed in Han’s work, especially related to how the author conceptualizes power. While the philosopher proposes the pursuit of a mobile concept, whose appearance could be modified depending on the movement of its constituent aspects; in anthropology, studies on power are centrally linked to the development of ethnography and the study of precise empirical contexts, with no unequivocal concept of power ever being constituted. Despite seemingly irreconcilable differences, this essay suggests that Han’s work can be incorporated into anthropological readings by the possibility of revising the places attributed to power in our research and by its potential contribution to studies dedicated to issues associated with contemporary anthropologies and critical events situated in these times.

Nursing care for hospitalized older adults - fall accidents versus safe mobility: a scoping review.

to map the constituent elements of the safe mobility concept present in hospital care for older adults. a scoping review of 35 articles searched in databases and gray literature - BDENF/VHL, Scopus, CINAHL/EBSCO, Embase, Web of Science, PEDro, MEDLINE/PubMed and CAPES Theses and Dissertations Catalog. No time or language cut-off was established. none of the studies presented a clear safe mobility concept, however its constituent elements involve factors related to patient (behavioral factors, conditions, diseases, signs and symptoms, nutritional status, age, balance, strength, gait quality, sleep), the institution (environment, treatment devices, guidelines, medications and polypharmacy, material and human resources and clothing/shoes) and the nature of the interventions (related to the patient, institution and family). the constituent elements of safe mobility express hospital units' capacity to guarantee care and protection from fall accidents for hospitalized older adults.

Excellent survival of second-generation uncemented dual mobility cups compared with first-generation cups at a minimum of 10 years follow-up in primary total hip arthroplasty.

This study aimed to compare the revision rate and long-term survival between two generations of uncemented dual mobility cup (DMC) from the same manufacturer in primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) at a minimum follow-up of 10 years. This retrospective monocentric study included all THA performed with an uncemented DMC from the same company. The cohort included 150 patients with 22 first-generation DMC and 128 second-generation DMC. The coating of the second generation was a double-coating Plasma spray of Titanium and Hydroxyapatite (HAP), compared to the coating of alumina and HAP for the first generation. The mean follow-up was 14.2 ± 1.2 years. The mean age was 76.0 ± 10.1 years. The Harris hip score (HHS), complications, and revisions were collected at the last follow-up. Ten- and fifteen-year Kaplan-Meier survival was calculated. At the last follow-up, the mean HHS was 83.2 ± 9.1. There were two acetabular loosenings with the old coating (9.1%) and one case with the new one (0.78%) (p = 0.056). There was one extra-prosthetic dislocation (0.67%) and one postoperative infection (0.67%). Survival without acetabular revision at 10 and 15 years was 90.9% for the 1st generation and 99.2% for the 2nd generation (p = 0.009). Survival without acetabular revision was significantly higher at 10 and 15 years of follow-up with the second generation of DMC with plasma-sprayed titanium and HAP coating compared to the first generation of DMC coat. The dislocation was uncommon, thanks to the dual mobility concept. This second generation of uncemented DMC can be safely used in primary THA.

Needs Analysis and Design of Martapura Kingdom Numerical Teaching Materials based on Android with the help of I-Spring suite for Elementary School students in Samarinda City.

Teacher interviews in the mathematics learning process tend to use power point and have never used android media. The teacher has never delivered ethnomathematics-based mathematics material. The results of the design stage, the researcher designed math teaching materials (island numbers) based on android applications.

모빌리티 개념의 사회적 확장에 따른 디자인 고려 요소 도출과 교육적 적용

The purpose of this study is to examine the theoretical contents for designing future mobility and services according to the social expansion of the concept of mobility and to find implications through project application. In particular, it was conducted with the intention of laying the foundation for students who want to propose future mobility design with various concepts through design majors or competitions to view the project from a social perspective. In conclusion, for the design of near-future mobility, consideration of the social functions that mobility can provide was preceded and the necessity of developing a design concept accordingly was confirmed. In addition, it seems that systematic advancement should be carried out through more diverse design development experiments and analysis in order to continuously utilize the derived future mobility design considerations.

The role of shared mobility in reducing perceived private car dependency

Existing contributions have explored the effect of specific shared-mobility services on car ownership reduction, but there is still a lack of analysis regarding the impact of shared-mobility, understood as new mobility concept. To fill this gap, a survey gathering 15,666 responses from residents in the Region of Madrid was conducted. A Multilevel Ordered Logit explored the individual and spatial dimensions of the potential of shared mobility to reduce car ownership. The results show that frequent car users and individuals owning more cars are less likely to believe they could give them up, but the adoption of moped-sharing or carsharing moderates this effect. For those who do not own a car, shared-mobility seems to be effective reducing their perceived need to own one in the future. Finally, the potential reduction of car ownership is more evident in dense urban areas, but a considerable spatial heterogeneity is observed throughout the metropolitan area.

Developing green urban mobility policies for sustainable public transportation in local communities: a Norwegian perspective

PurposeThe concept of green urban mobility has emerged as one of the best approaches for promoting environmental-friendly transportation in local communities. Green urban mobility aims to reshape public transportation system and enhance mobility, with emphasis on deploying digital technologies to promote sustainable public transportation. Therefore, this study aims to analyze existing public transportation policies by exploring how local communities can facilitate green urban mobility by developing a sociotechnical urban-based mobility model highlighting key factors that impact regions transitioning toward sustainable transportation.Design/methodology/approachThis study investigates “the role of data for green urban mobility policies toward sustainable public transportation in local communities” in the form of a systematic literature review and insights from Norway. Secondary data from the literature and qualitative analysis of the national transport plan document was descriptively analyzed to provide inference.FindingsFindings from this study provides specific measures and recommendations as actions for achieving a national green mobility practice. More important, findings from this study offers evidence from the Norwegian context to support decision-makers and stakeholders on how sustainable public transportation can be achieved in local communities. In addition, findings present data-driven initiatives being put in place to promote green urban mobility to decrease the footprint from public transportation in local municipalities.Practical implicationsThis study provides green mobility policies as mechanisms to be used to achieve a sustainable public transportation in local communities. Practically, this study advocates for the use of data to support green urban mobility for transport providers, businesses and municipalities administration by analyzing and forecasting mobility demand and supply in terms of route, cost, time, network connection and mode choice.Social implicationsThis study provides factors that would promote public and nonmotorized transportation and also aid toward achieving a national green urban mobility strategy. Socially, findings from this study provides evidence on specific green urban mobility measures to be adopted by stakeholders in local communities.Originality/valueThis study presents a sociotechnical urban-based mobility model that is positioned between the intersection of “human behavior” and “infrastructural design” grounded on the factors that influence green urban mobility policies for local communities transiting to a sustainable public transportation. Also, this study explores key factors that may influence green urban mobility policies for local communities toward achieving a more sustainable public transportation leading to a more inclusive, equitable and accessible urban environment.

Factors influencing the user behaviour of shared autonomous vehicles (SAVs): A systematic literature review

The emergence of autonomous driving technologies will transform mobility in the future. Shared autonomous vehicles (SAVs) are crucial elements of sustainable future mobility concepts because they are expected to have a positive impact on urban mobility, infrastructure, travel behaviour and the environment. Driven by the necessity for sustainable mobility concepts and the prospect of accelerated shared usage instead of private ownership, research on the factors influencing user behaviour (e.g., intention and willingness to use, adoption) has increased. However, knowledge in the emerging field of SAVs is still unstructured and the lack of synthesis diminishes the ability to predict user behaviour and use this knowledge to develop improved mobility concepts. In order to lay the foundation in this area and to enable the integration of new knowledge with the wider literature, this paper aims to investigate and identify factors that influence the behavioural intention to use SAVs by conducting a systematic literature review following the PRISMA guidelines. The review aggregates 61 factors influencing willingness and intention to use SAVs, which are grouped into three main categories (user-related factors, service-related factors, time- and weather-related factors). Finally, the review identifies several neglected factors and derives avenues for future research.

Qualitative Study of the Mobile Application Concept Among T2D Patients

Self-care is the most fundamental and vital component of diabetes management. It necessitates patient participation in disease management activities such as nutrition, physical activity, medication adherence, and foot care procedures. However, developments in smartphone technology have created new options for diabetes self-management and diabetes education. The purpose of this study is to gain an overview of the mobile application concept that is expected among T2D patients in order to build application-based therapies based on the research site. This research method employs qualitative approaches in conjunction with a grounded theory approach. The approach employed is the sampling quota selection method. A Focus Group Discussion (FGD) was held with all qualified participants. A grounded theory technique was used to analyze the data. The findings of the study highlighted six themes: 1) Diet, 2) psychological activity, 3) medication alarms, 4) blood glucose monitoring, and 5) reduced worry (knowledge about health problems), 6) Consulting with health-care providers and asking questions. Self-care management can improve the quality of life of T2D patients. Diabetes patients in Indonesia are treated in a variety of ways; a link between patient experience, care, and health support is required.

DIGITAL MOBILITY OF THE FUTURE SPECIALIST: CURRENT TRENDS

The article raises the issue of the mobility of social relations and individuals throughout the digital transformation period. The study aims to investigate the content and essence of the mobility phenomenon, the specifics of the expert’s professional mobility, the causes and consequences of changes in the interpretation of mobility in the context of digitalization and digital transformation of modern society; features, advantages and challenges arising in light of the expansion of digital mobility in professional and social life. The following methods were used in the research: philosophical, sociological, psychological and pedagogical analysis, synthesis of interdisciplinary approaches to the study of the content, essence and directions of development of the “mobility” category, a professiographic approach to the specification of the professional mobility concept, methods of adaptation and conceptualization to identify challenges and dangers, related to the spread of digital mobility. It has been determined that mobility is a complex interdisciplinary category that can be characterized in broad socio-economic and narrow personal contexts. It has been found out that the theory of mobility has evolved significantly in its development, expanding from the primary focus on movement between social groups to a deeper analysis of social space and various aspects of the individuals’ living. The individual’s professional mobility as a type of social mobility and such a relevant component of it as digital mobility has been emphasized. Spatial, temporal and contextual dimensions of digital mobility have been analysed. In a broad sense, digital mobility is defined as the process of digitization and integration of mobility management systems to achieve strategic goals, as well as the creation of optimized networks for more efficient information transmission. A specialist’s digital mobility is defined as the ability to work effectively and develop in a rapidly changing digital landscape including flexibility, technological competence, and openness to learning and adapting to the digital environment. The phenomenon of digital nomadism has been pointed out and briefly described as a promising model of digital mobility for the labour market in the near future. The most critical challenges associated with the widespread digital mobility to all spheres of current professional life have been identified, including digital inequality, the digital gap between generations and social groups, manipulative management of digital data, digital parkourism, digital stupidity, digital addiction, etc. To solve these and related problems, some strategies have been proposed. These are ensuring data protection and confidentiality of information in the organization and outside it; increasing the level of digital literacy among employees, forming digital competence and digital culture; establishing a balance between real and digital professional life; reducing workers’ reliance on technology by encouraging activities that do not require the use of digital devices and supporting digital awareness initiatives; developing an organization’s policies that govern the use of digital technologies, with particular attention to ethics and security. It has been concluded that there is a need to develop several measures, both at the level of the global socio-economic community and at the individual organization, which will ensure the availability of digital mobility services for those employees who experience digital alienation and/or digital divide, as well as the formation and development of a digital competence in citizens.

MOBILIDADE SEGURA: PROJETO DE INTERVENÇÃO VIÁRIA PARA UMA INTERSEÇÃO DA AVENIDA PRESIDENTE VARGAS DO MUNICÍPIO DE DOURADOS-MS

Urban mobility characterizes the conditions for moving people and loads through urban space, acting on the well-being and safety of the population. Considering the safety aspect, Vision Zero emerges as a set of techniques that help reduce accidents with deaths or serious injuries. This work presents the application of concepts of safe mobility and Vision Zero in the city of Dourados-MS through an intervention project in a stretch of one of its roads. The elaboration of the project required two main stages: determination of the study section and characterization of the traffic elements of that section. From the implementation of the bike path on Avenue Presidente Vargas, the safety of cyclists will increase. In addition, the correction of signs and the solution of problems related to accessibility when crossing the medians will result in greater safety for people with reduced mobility. Thus, it was found that the parameters of Vision Zero are strong allies to ensure the safety of pedestrians and cyclists and prevent serious accidents from occurring in the city.
