Role of Meaningful Social Participation and Technology Use in Mitigating Loneliness and Cognitive Decline Among Older Adults.

Community social participation aids dementia prevention and alleviates loneliness among older adults. Incorporating occupational therapy using information and communications technology (ICT) could potentially delay dementia onset and reduce loneliness. To quantify how meaningful social participation, participation frequency, ICT use, and expanded social networks influence cognitive function and loneliness among socially active older Japanese adults. Cross-sectional exploratory study using structural equation modeling. Meetings organized by older adults at seven community gathering places in Osaka Prefecture, Japan. One hundred thirteen healthy older adult cohort members. Cognitive function assessed via Mini-Cog; loneliness assessed via the condensed UCLA Loneliness Scale. The final model demonstrated excellent fit, χ2(23) = 28.291, p = .205 (root mean square error of approximation = .045, 90% confidence interval [.000, .094]; confirmatory factor index = .995; Tucker-Lewis Index = .993). ICT use directly affected social networks (β = 0.472), which directly influenced participation frequency (β = 0.324) and meaningful social participation (β = 0.381). The indirect effect of meaningful participation significantly improved cognitive function (β = 0.237). The only indirect effect of meaningful interpersonal participation was a reduction in loneliness (β = -0.235). ICT use contributes to the expansion of social networks among elderly people. Furthermore, the frequency of social participation and the meaningfulness of such participation are related to reduction in loneliness and maintenance of cognitive function. Although the frequency of social participation was not directly related to these outcomes, the results suggest that meaningful social participation may play an important role in reducing loneliness and maintaining cognitive function. Plain-Language Summary: The promotion of social participation among older people is a global phenomenon, driven by the recognition of its positive relationship with cognitive function and the alleviation of loneliness. Nevertheless, older people's social participation is constrained by a combination of physical and social factors. To address this issue, there has been a push to promote social participation based on information and communications technology (ICT). However, no specific study has been conducted on occupational therapists' perspective in capturing social participation and the use of ICT. The findings of this study show that using ICT has the potential to enhance opportunities for social interaction for older adults, thereby improving the quality and quantity of social participation. The quality of social participation was identified as the sole factor that had a positive impact on cognitive function and loneliness. This study suggests the need for occupational therapists to consider means of facilitating the use of ICTs among older adults as well as interventions that use occupational therapy theory to enhance the meaningfulness of existing social participation opportunities.

Unveiling the Nexus: Elevating marketing strategies for enhancing satisfaction and loyalty in elderly health care services

The study aimed to examine whether there is an association of marketing mix, and perception with customer’s satisfaction, and loyalty among elderly people. A total of 400 participants were included in the study. The study population comprised individuals aged 65 years and above from Assam, India including both males and females. Participants were primarily selected from residential homes, old age homes, and various common gathering places such as parks, shops, Namghar (a holy place), and community halls. The study indicated a significant correlation between the dimensions of the marketing mix, perception, satisfaction, and loyalty. Moreover, the findings from the linear regression analysis, revealed customer satisfaction towards the marketing of healthcare services can be attributed to product, price, place, process, and physical evidence (7 P’s) and customer perception (R2=.54; .53 respectively). Additionally, customer loyalty towards the marketing of healthcare services is influenced by product and price (7P’s), and customer perception (R2=.54; .2 respectively). This study contributes to understanding the overlooked aspect of marketing to the elderly population, providing valuable insights for healthcare companies to develop improved marketing strategies. Hence, irrespective of the organization's size, type, or location, whether it's a startup or an established entity, privately owned or government-operated, local or global, the role of business managers is vital in making informed decisions and establishing strategic priorities to allocate resources efficiently in order to meet evolving customer demands and achieve business success. As a result, commercial enterprises need to develop tools, concepts, and strategies to effectively navigate the dynamic and unpredictable marketing landscape.

A place of encounter: Health and social care workers’ perspectives on public gathering spaces for people using drugs

Background: The use of drugs is an escalating concern, with significant implications for the health and daily functionality for individuals. It has proven challenging to provide accessible health and social services. In the context of addressing substance use issues in urban areas, public gathering places for individuals who use drugs play a multifaceted role, serving as sites of belonging, support and potential illicit activity. This qualitative study explores the experiences of healthcare and social workers regarding a public gathering place, referred to as “the Bench”, in a medium-sized Norwegian city. Methods: A qualitative research design consisting of semi-structured focus group interviews and individual interviews with 13 participants representing various support agencies. Results: The analysis resulted in four thematic areas: (1) belonging and a gateway to support and services; (2) balancing user autonomy at the Bench and systems support; (3) the role of a centralised location; and (4) the preventive role of support workers at the Bench. Conclusion: While the Bench fosters a sense of community and provides access to vital services, concerns about illicit activities persist due to its visibility. Nevertheless, its central location facilitates outreach efforts and ensures easy access to support services. The study underscores the preventive role of healthcare and social workers in stabilising the environment and mitigating conflicts. Furthermore, it highlights the importance of central locations for public gathering places, emphasising the proximity to low-threshold services. The Bench represents a crucial venue for establishing relationships and providing assistance to individuals who use drugs, contributing to harm reduction efforts in the community.

User evaluation of the Sonic Gathering Place - an installation incorporating sound design

The Sonic Gathering Place (SGP) is a prototype outdoor urban furniture installation that uses natural sounds recorded in national parks to enhance the biophilic effects of plants. This paper presents the development and results of a user evaluation survey accessed via QR code on the installation. It aimed to provide the designers with feedback on effects of the installation, constructed in a Melbourne university campus courtyard, on users' enjoyment, as well as capturing more subtle affective outcomes of users' experiences. Results demonstrated that the soundscape/biophilic design intervention was successful, increasing the enjoyment of its users and improving self-reported mood. It encouraged users to stop and listen; they responded it provided them with the restorative effects experienced in nature; and that the sounds complemented the plantings. This paper also reports sound levels measured at the installation which showed that the introduced sound levels were set by the designer only marginally louder than those that existed before the installation.

DESIGN STRATEGIES FOR THE URBAN INTERPRETATION OF COURTYARD SPACES IN HISTORIC CITIES: DESIGN AND SOCIAL ASPECTS

The shift in the urban paradigm during the 20th century led to a significant reconsideration of the living space of city residents. The principles of the modernist worldview, which acquired the nature of a universal urban design strategy in the Athens Charter of 1931, initiated a negative attitude towards the block development that had prevailed before. The courtyard spaces inherent in it started to be perceived as insufficient, and their original concept as places of recreation and social interaction was redefined. As a result, the internal environments of blocks were spontaneously used by residents for various purposes, leading to their degradation and chaos. This was particularly relevant to Ukrainian cities, where the population of historic centres was densifying, with an increased impact on all types of spaces. The crisis of modernist urban design and the expansion of postmodern values have returned attention to historical heritage as an auxiliary source of shaping and removed the intensity of the confrontation between the ‘contemporary’ modernist worldview and the ‘historical’ one. Subsequently, urban concepts have absorbed many ideas related to the environmental discourse, inclusiveness, barrier-free accessibility, pedestrian accessibility, and density. All of this has significantly changed the understanding of approaches and principles of interpretation of historic urban spaces, including residential courtyards. The article considers promising urban design strategies that can be used for the contemporary interpretation of courtyard environments, primarily focused on design and social aspects. This is due to the methodological structure, which is based on a dual understanding of the priorities of this process. On the one hand, courtyard spaces are perceived as places of recreation and greening, and on the other hand, as environments for socialising and community bonding. In this regard, four urban design strategies have been identified that may form the basis of certain areas of urban design in the future: a) functional universalisation; b) spatial diversification; c) communicative adaptability; d) variable accessibility. The first strategy refers to the integration of courtyard spaces into measures to introduce walkability and optimal density. In this case, we are dealing with introducing a number of functions into courtyard spaces that were typical of external street areas, but aimed at the nearest residents. The second strategy is aimed at returning to the ideology of green oases and recreational areas, with further expansion of spatial elements through vertical development. The strategy of communicative adaptability is related to the development of courtyards as places of gathering and solidarity of the resident’s community. The last strategy is related to the proposal to provide access to the courtyards to external visitors at certain times.

Bildung, hermeneutics, divergence: learning in the dystopian university

Abstract In this article, I offer an account of the 2014 dystopian-fiction film Divergent, based on the novel by Veronica Roth. The film tells the story of Beatrice, a young woman living in a postapocalyptic Chicago, and her process of enrolment into the higher education system. I argue that Beatrice’s troubled story can help us to uncover the high tension between today’s university’s self-alienating mechanisms and the thirst for Bildung. I suggest that the notion of ‘divergence’ can help to develop an account of Bildung in an innovative direction. ‘Divergence’ is a term used in the film to define individuals—like Beatrice—who cannot fit into the categories established by the government to sort students into appropriate educational pathways. I link the notion of ‘divergence’ to an interpretation of Gadamer’s account of Bildung. First, I draw on Gadamer’s thinking to suggest the metaphor of the university as a ‘crossroads’ and outline the idea of the risks and possibilities that are attached to authentic learning experience. Then I explore the self-alienating mechanisms that Gadamer saw at work within the postindustrial structure of the university. In conclusion, I develop Gadamer’s notion of self-education along the lines of the idea of divergence. While some argue that the university can still be a place for human encounter and gathering, I aim to show that, without divergence, it remains a site of displacement, or a dystopia.

Place meanings of shore recreational fishers in the urban fringe

AbstractWhile recreational fishers recognize the many benefits of their practice, there is less recognition of these benefits by decision-makers in natural resource management. Fisheries motivations and benefits have not been sufficiently captured in urban and urban/suburban interface (urban fringe) areas. To help address this gap, this work captures fisheries motivations and benefits in the urban fringe of Rhode Island using a place meaning methodology. In-person interviews were conducted in Spanish and English with anglers who use public access sites in the urban fringe near Providence, Rhode Island. This area was found to support diverse users with needs for access, suitable water quality, and safety. Mental and physical health benefits were also found. The results inform fisheries management and landscape planning via a greater understanding of the conceptualization of coastal spaces and suggestions for future attributes of coastal spaces. Future directions to explore include the relationship between place meanings and well-being, the relationship between place meanings and fishing motivations, and gathering place meanings across diverse users and locations. Understanding recreational fishing motivations and benefits in the urban fringe informs fisheries and coastal management decision-making under potential landscape changes or fishery stock decline.

Can Choir singing support migrant inclusion? An encouraging survey

During the Covid-19 pandemic, Italy imposed lockdown measures, which also affected places of worship that had to suspend group religious celebrations. This study focuses on the dematerialization of the sacred space, achieved through the creation of the "digital mosque." The author interviewed imams and participated in online worship during the lockdown. The analysis of the data explored various facets, including the reactions of Muslim communities to the impact of the lockdown and government directives guidelines. The study then delved into the transition of certain communities from offline Islam to online Islam, culminating in the establishment of the "digital mosque." The lat-ter serves as both a virtual gathering place for the faithful and a tool for social control and the definition of authority in the interpretation of the online inter-pretation of the sacred. However, it should be noted that different Muslim communities reacted in various ways to the use of the internet.

Volume and Frequency of Transactions that Influence Share Prices are Mediated by Financial Performance and Moderated by Dividend Policy

One of the benchmarks for a country's progress is the existence of the Capital Market. The capital market is a gathering place for public companies operating in both primary and secondary markets. The secondary market in the capital market is a preference for people and organizations to invest. Share prices are a consideration for investors in determining investment decisions. The online trading system in the capital market is considered an efficient step and makes it easier to accelerate transactions, both buying and selling. The impact of transaction speed allows transaction volume and frequency to increase. The increase in transaction volume and frequency can only be seen in terms of technical factors, but fundamental factors in investing in the capital market also need to be considered. In this study, the researcher tried to include financial performance as well as a moderating variable which is proxied by dividend policy which is thought to influence stock prices. The results of research model 1 show an R-squared value of 0.487204. This shows that transaction volume, transaction frequency and DPR contributed 48.72% to PBV, while the remaining 51.28% was the contribution of other variables besides the independent variables studied. Meanwhile, Model 2 shows an R-squared value of 0.956943. This shows that PBV, Transaction Volume, Transaction Frequency and DPR contribute to SP amounting to 95.69% while the remaining 4.31% is the contribution of other variables besides the independent variables studied.

Penguatan Legalitas Usaha Melalui Pembuatan Nomor Induk Berusaha di Sentra Wisata Kuliner Penjaringansari

Business legality is the main thing that business people need to do when starting a business. With business legality, the business being run can be said to be feasible to operate where legality is a license to run a business given by the authorities. Penjaringansari Culinary Tourism Center is one of the gathering places for business actors engaged in the culinary field who are experiencing problems related to the lack of awareness of the importance of legality in a business. This activity was carried out at the Penjaringansari Culinary Tourism Center which aims to provide education related to making a Business Identification Number and providing assistance in making a Business Identification Number. The method of implementing this activity is divided into three stages, including: the observation and interview stage, the stage of providing education, and the implementation stage. The target of this activity is business actors who do not yet have a Business Identification Number at the Penjaringansari Culinary Tourism Center, namely 13 business actors. The result of this activity is that the desire and awareness in developing the business being run is increasing because it already has a business license that is protected by applicable law.

Implementation of Street Vendor Arrangement Policy in Wonoasri Village, Tempurejo District, Jember Regency

The implementation of the policy of structuring street vendors in Wonoasri village is carried out by providing separate policies for street vendors in Wonoasri village, building public facilities in the village square in order to increase convenience in trading, increase community resources for the village community, reduce unemployment, entertainment and gathering places for the community and increase economic value in selling. These conditions are also influenced by the Bumdes to manage street vendors in the Wonoasri Village square, where the Bumdes plays a role as a policy maker, rent financial regulator, facility provider, provider of rental space for street vendors, and supervisor of harmony between street vendors. One of the objectives of this study is to describe the implementation of the policy of structuring street vendors in the village square of Wonoasri, Jember Regency, which can be seen from three factors, namely the perspective of compliance, success, satisfaction and beneficiaries. This research specifically uses a qualitative approach method, the techniques in data collection used are observation, documentation and interview methods. The results of this study state that the implementation of the street vendor arrangement policy in Wonoasri Village, Tempurejo District, Jember Regency involves the Wonoasri Village Government, Wonoasri Village Bumdes, Street Vendors and the community around the Wonoasri Village Square. So it can be said that this policy has been successful and is a successful implementation. In implementing the policy of arranging street vendors in Wonoasri Village Square, there are several obstacles, including: Controlling the number of new street vendors, the discipline of street vendors and facilities and infrastructure that were previously inadequate but are now well met such as water, electricity, toilets, trash bins, selling space, prayer rooms, and parking lots. Improve better facilities and infrastructure so that traders and visitors can be more comfortable when visiting the Wonoasri Village Square.

Sonic Gathering Place: implementation of a biophilic soundscape design and its evaluation

The Sonic Gathering Place (SGP) is a prototype urban furniture installation that uses sound design to enhance the biophilic effects of plants. It uses field recordings from four different biomes in South-Eastern Australia mixed with plants that are representative of those biomes. The SGP has a circular seating structure comprising four integrated planter boxes, each with a single speaker. Nature-based field recordings play through the four-speaker array to create an immersive audio playback experience, though without masking the existing acoustic environment of the installation site. This paper focuses, as practice-led research, on the design process of the installation that encompasses four disciplinary approaches: soundscape design, biophilic design, field recording and urban furniture. Innovatively, it then reports a quantitative survey of the user’s experience of the SGP that hones understanding of human response to the design. Measured user-responses to the SGP, collected through a smartphone-based questionnaire, were overwhelmingly affirmative of the design, including a positive change in self-reported mood resulting from the visit to the SGP. These responses were observed with introduced sound levels set only marginally louder than sound levels that existed before the installation. The results signal a wider role that biophilic sound installations might play in urban landscape design.

Stadiums in the 1970s: Beyond the Myth of the Concrete Doughnut

In the late 1990s and early 2000s, fans assembled at stadiums and arenas across the country to witness a recurring spectacular event. They headed toward the local ballpark or arena, not to watch their favorite teams and entertainers perform inside, but rather to witness the implosion of the facilities themselves. As the United States was in the midst of its latest stadium construction boom, a new community ritual took shape: the ceremonial demolition of stadiums that were built in the 1960s and 1970s. Facilities that were once celebrated for their modern designs and conveniences were deemed ugly and obsolete seemingly overnight. Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium, Three Rivers Stadium in Pittsburgh, Riverfront Stadium in Cincinnati, Market Square Arena in Indianapolis, among dozens of other professional stadiums, were demolished in this spectacular fashion (Figure 1). Explosives were strategically placed throughout the abandoned facilities, and fans gathered yards away to watch the buildings burst into gigantic clouds of dust and smoke, the environmental consequences of sending pollutants into the air notwithstanding. Television networks covered the detonations while fans donned team colors, cheered, and shed tears as their beloved community gathering places were blown into oblivion.

Farmers’ Group Coaching and Agricultural Extension Regarding Soil and Water Conservation in Nagari Cupak, West Sumatra

Nagari Cupak is a sub-district in Solok Regency with a big rice field that can be developed to increase farmers’ wealth. The development of rice field potential in Nagari Cupak can be conducted with agricultural extension to farmers. One of the outreach topics that can deliver to farmers is the importance of the efficient functioning of farmer groups (as a learning class, as production units, and as a place to cooperate). In this situation, the topic regarding conserving water and soil in rice fields for efficient rice production in Nagari Cupak is another one that may be discussed with farmers. The agricultural extension was carried out in Jorong Panyalai, Nagari Cupak, Gunung Talang District, on Thursday, 10 August 2023. The method used in community service is the lecture method. Furthermore, it continued with a question-and-answer session. The object of this community service is to join farmer groups in Nagari Cupak, which consists of 18 farmer groups. These activities showed that the farmers did not optimise the group’s function because they only used it as a gathering place. Farmer groups also shared the issues they frequently encountered, and solutions were offered. In addition, agricultural extension activities were continued with practice regarding soil and water conservation on land provided by the Nagari Cupak Government. The farmers’ persistence can be seen in their enthusiasm for this extension activity until the end of the extension. In order to enable farmers to practice soil and water conservation on their own, they also requested that Extension Officers continue to support them.

Urban landscape pattern mainly drives the early epidemic distribution of dengue fever in Hangzhou, China

ContextA new dengue fever (DF) epidemic in Hangzhou, China has placed a serious burden on the urban sustainable development. However, the key drivers of DF epidemic are still unclear, especially the effects of urban landscape patterns.ObjectivesIn the present study, the spatial relationships between DF epidemic and urban landscape attributes in Hangzhou were investigated based on the framework and approach of landscape epidemiology.MethodsThe landscape indices of green space, waterbody, and built-up area were calculated based on land cover and land use (LULC) data. Population density, road density, GDP, and property price were used to represent socioeconomic conditions. The densities of social gathering places (SGPs) such as restaurants, malls, services, entertainment, traditional markets, and parks were recorded. A geographically weighted zero-inflated poisson regression (GWZIPR) model was applied to analyze the effects of LULC patterns, socioeconomic conditions, and SGPs on the risk of DF epidemics. An additional ZIPR-LASSO algorithm was used to explore the dominant drivers of spatial patterns of DF risk to construct the optimal model.ResultsDF cases were mainly clustered in central Hangzhou. Landscape patterns involving LULC and SGPs played a more important role in DF epidemic than the socioeconomic conditions. Among these factors, the total area of built-up area had the greatest effect to DF risk. Furthermore, property price, density of entertainment and services could better explain the spatial variation of DF risk in Hangzhou.ConclusionsOverall, the contribution of landscape patterns to the DF epidemic was more important than socioeconomic conditions within the urban region, especially in the new epidemic region. These findings revealed the key role of landscape epidemiology in public health management and landscape governance to improve the urban sustainable development and human well-being.
