Authors: Sundari Octi
Published: June 2021

Praktik kerja jurnalis tidak terlepas dari nilai-nilai jurnalistik yang terkandung di dalamnya. Nilai-nilai seperti objektivitas, kecepatan, dan keberimbangan masih menjadi ukuran profesionalitas jurnalis. Akan tetapi, pada praktiknya beberapa nilai jurnalistik justru membatasi kerja jurnalisme dan berindikasi menghasilkan laporan yang dangkal. Untuk menjawab persoalan tersebut, jurnalisme mengadopsi pendekatan etnografi dalam ilmu sosial atau yang dikenal etno-jurnalisme. Etno-jurnalisme penting dalam rangka menghasilkan laporan yang holistik dan mendalam di tengah-tengah kerja jurnalis yang lebih mengutamakan kecepatan. Oleh karena itu, peneliti ingin mengaji bagaimana praktik etno-jurnalisme dalam produksi film dokumenter Jakarta Unfair. Untuk menemukan jawaban dari riset ini, peneliti menggunakan penelitian kualitatif dengan pembahasan eksplanatif dan menggunakan metode studi kasus model Robert E. Stake. Hasil penelitian ini menemukan bahwa pembuatan film Jakarta Unfair menggunakan praktik etno-jurnalisme tetapi tidak secara utuh.Kata kunci: Etnografi, Dokumenter, Jakarta Unfair, Jurnalisme
Setelah Guncangan Digital

Published: June 2021

Profesi jurnalis masih menjadi harapan bagi sebagian kalangan milenial. Namun lanskap industri media di Indonesia mengalami perubahan cepat dalam beberapa tahun terakhir akibat guncangan digital. Sebagian media konvensional bertransformasi ke digital, media yang lain berjuang dengan menerapkan strategi konvergensi media. Media yang tak mampu berkompetisi memutuskan tutup, di mana sejak 2014 keputusan penutupan media di Indonesia kerap diikuti pemutusan hubungan kerja para jurnalis. Ini berdampak pada masa depan para jurnalis hingga kesejahteraannya. Riset ini menemukan bahwa sebagian jurnalis yang terkena dampak pemutusan kerja ini masih berusia di antara 24 – 35 tahun dengan masa kerja di bidang jurnalistik di atas 1 tahun. Sebagian besar jurnalis ini tidak bergabung dalam serikat pekerja yang memiliki posisi tawar dan dapat bernegosiasi dengan perusahaan media di kala terjadi sengketa ketenagakerjaan. Di samping itu, kurun 2014 hingga 2017, bagi sebagian jurnalis, adalah masa-masa yang sulit untuk beradaptasi di tengah peralihan dari media konvensional ke media baru yang serba digital.

Melihat Perbincangan #Pilpres2019 di Media Sosial dengan Social Media Analytics
Authors: Setianto Yearry Panji
Published: June 2021

Riset deskriptif ini berupaya menjelaskan tentang partisipasi warganet dalam membicarakan beragam topik politik seputar Pemilihan Umum 2019 di Indonesia. Dengan mengambil kasus diskusi online di platform media sosial Twitter, peneliti menganalisis sejumlah hashtag terkait dengan kampanye online dari kedua pasangan calon presiden dan wakil presiden, Joko Widodo-Ma’ruf Amin dan Prabowo Subianto-Sandiaga Uno. Menggunakan metode penelitian social network analytics, peneliti menemukan bahwa diskusi online di Twitter dalam sejumlah topik seperti #DebatPilpres2019, #PrabowoMenangDebat dan #DebatPintarJokowi seringkali didominasi oleh akun-akun yang tidak selalu popular serta tidak selalu dilakukan oleh ‘buzzer’ politik; meskipun akun @jokowi dan @prabowo masih merupakan dua tokoh utama yang diperbincangkan dalam diskusi tersebut. Dalam konteks ini, peneliti melihat bahwa media sosial semacam Twitter dapat berperan sebagai mini-publics, di mana diskursus yang hadir tidak harus selalu sejalan dengan wacana dominan (di media massa maupun di masyarakat luas). Selain itu, partisipasi masyarakat dalam berbincang soal politik juga dapat dimaknai sebagai praktik online politics yang tidak kalah pentingnya dalam proses demokratisasi di Indonesia.

A Randomized Feasibility Trial Comparing Surveillance Regimens for Patients with Low and Low-Intermediate Risk Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer
Authors: Reyes Ryan M. , Rios Emily , Barney Shane , Hugen Cory M. , Michalek Joel E. , Lotan Yair , Messing Edward M. , Svatek Robert S.
Published: June 2021

BACKGROUND:

Surveillance regimens for non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) are disparate and controlled trials could inform guidelines. The feasibility of randomizing patients to variable frequency surveillance is unknown.

OBJECTIVES:

To determine patient willingness to randomization to high frequency (HF) versus low frequency (LF) surveillance regimen for NMIBC and compare patient comfort and healthcare costs across regimens.

METHODS:

A non-blinded, two-arm, randomized-controlled study of patients with low or low-intermediate risk NMIBC was conducted at two institutions where patients were offered randomization to HF vs. LF surveillance following initial tumor resection. The HF group underwent cystoscopy every three months for 2 years, then every 6 months for 2 years, then annually. The LF group underwent cystoscopy at 9 months following the 3-month cystoscopy, then annually. Assuming 75% of patients approached would agree to enrollment, a sample size of n = 35 patients per arm provided a one-sided 95% exact Clopper-Pearson confidence lower-limit of 60%.

RESULTS:

Of 70 patients approached, 45 (64.3%) agreed to participate and 25 (35.7%) declined enrollment due to preference for HF. Twelve biopsies were performed, including 4 (19%) of 21 patients in the HF group and 8 (33.3%) of 24 patients in the LF group. Disease recurrence (low grade Ta) was observed in 3 (14.3%) and 5 (20.8%) patients in the HF and LF groups, respectively. No patients experienced high grade recurrence or progression. Both groups had similar patient-reported procedure-related discomfort and quality of life measures over time. Patient out-of-pocket cost and healthcare systems costs were $383.80 more per patient annually in the HF group.

CONCLUSIONS:

Randomization to variable frequency surveillance is challenging as over a third of patients declined participation. However, these data provide important preliminary insights into the potential effects of surveillance frequency on oncologic and economic outcomes in patients with low and low-intermediate risk bladder cancer.

Published: June 2021

BACKGROUND:

Bladder cancer surveillance is invasive, intensive and costly. Patients with low grade intermediate risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) are at high risk of recurrence.

OBJECTIVE:

The objective of this model is to compare the cost of a strategy to alternate surveillance with cystoscopy and a urine marker, Bladder EpiCheck, to standard surveillance.

METHODS:

A decision tree model was built using TreeAge Pro Healthcare to compare standard surveillance (Standard) with a modified surveillance incorporating Bladder EpiCheck. The model was based on 2 years of surveillance. Outcomes were obtained from literature. Costs were obtained from US and 9 European countries. Sensitivity analyses were performed.

RESULTS:

The efficacy of the model was equivalent in terms of recurrence for each arm with median recurrence rate of 22%. When setting marker price at 200 local currency, the marker arm was less expensive in the USA, Netherlands, Switzerland, Belgium, Italy, Austria and UK by 154€ to 329£ per patient, for a 2-year period. Cost was higher in France, Spain, and Germany by 33–103€. Cost parity was achieved with marker price between 148€ and $421. Marker cost and specificity have the greatest impact on the overall model cost.

CONCLUSIONS:

A strategy alternating the urine marker Bladder EpiCheck with cystoscopy in the surveillance of patients with low grade intermediate risk bladder cancer is cost equivalent in the US and European countries when the marker is priced 148€ –$421, as a result of the marker’s high specificity (86%). Prospective studies will be necessary to validate these findings.
High FAS expression correlates with a better prognosis and efficacy of taxanes and target regents in breast cancer
Authors: Zhang Yi , Shao Xuan , Gao Chenyi , Xu Danying , Wu Jun , Zhu Xuan , Chen Zhigang
Published: June 2021

BACKGROUND: FAS can serve as both an oncogene and a suppresser in different malignancies, and the prognostic value of FAS remains controversial. METHODS: The Oncomine database, KM-Plotter and bc-GenExMiner platform were adopted to analyze the prognostic value of FAS in breast cancer. Breast cancer tissue microarrays were further used to verify these data. The Cell Miner Tool was used to predict the value of FAS mRNA expression in predicting the efficacies of clinical drugs. RESULTS: We found that both FAS mRNA and protein expression level significantly reduced in breast carcinoma. In addition, high FAS expression indicates a better metastatic relapse-free survival. Interestingly, FAS was associated with a better prognosis in different subtypes of breast cancer patients, namely, only in grade II and III, lymph nodal positive or p53 wild-type patients. The data from the Cell Miner Tool revealed that FAS mRNA expression was correlated with the efficacy of the first-line chemotherapeutic taxane agents and target drugs including olaparib and everolimus. CONCLUSIONS: FAS expression correlates with a better prognosis in breast cancer and may provide an effective clinical strategy to predict the sensitivity of taxanes and targeted drugs.
IGF-1R depletion sensitizes colon cancer cell lines to radiotherapy
Authors: Zong Rui , Chen Xiaoman , Feng Jingjing , Xu Shan
Published: June 2021

PURPOSE: Insulin like growth factor receptor 1 (IGF-1R) has been documented to play a key role in radiation response, thereby offering an attractive drug target to enhance tumor sensitivity to radiotherapy. Here, we investigated wether knockdown of IGF-1R can sensitize colorectal cancer (CRC) cell lines to radiation. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Human colon carcinoma SW480 and HT-29 cells were transfected with specific small interference RNA (siRNA) to mediate IGF-1R depletion. The expression of IGF-1R mRNA and protein among transfected and untransfected cells was detected by Western blot analysis. Changes in cell proliferation and radiosensitivity were evaluated by the clonogenic survival assay. NVP-ADW742, an IGF-1R inhibitor, in combination with radiation was studied. RAD51, a measure for homologous recombination repair, and 53BP1, a maker for non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ), were determined by immunofluorescence for double-strand breaks (DSB) repair pathways. Cell cycle was also examined in the IGF-1R knockdown and IGF-1R-inhibited cells. RESULTS: CRC cell lines were selectively sensitized to radiation after siRNA-mediated IGF-1R depletion. NVP-ADW742 efficiently increases cancer cell response to radiation. Furthermore, initial formation of RAD51 foci after IR, and 53BP1 foci were significantly reduced in IGF-1R-depleted or with IGF-1R Inhibitor CRC cell lines. Lastly, IGF-1R-depleted or with IGF-1R Inhibitor caused more G2 phase cell arrest. CONCLUSION: Our findings demonstrate that depletion of IGF-1R lead to an increase in radiosensitivity in CRC.

Authors: Cao Yuting , Li Qiang , Liu Huihui , He Xianglei , Huang Fang , Wang Yigang
Published: June 2021

Over the past decade, cancer immunotherapy, such as immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICRs), has attained considerable progresses in clinical practice. T-cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain-containing protein 3 (Tim-3) act as next ICRs, and originally function as a co-inhibitory receptor expressed on interferon (IFN)-γ producing CD4+ and CD8+ T-cells. Furthermore, Tim-3 has also been found to express on innate immune cells and several types of tumors, signifying the pivotal role that Tim-3 plays in chronic viral infections and cancer. In addition, Tim-3 and multiple ICRs are concurrently expressed and regulated on dysfunctional or exhausted T-cells, leading to improved antitumor immune responses in preclinical or clinical cancer therapy through co-blockade of Tim-3 and other ICRs such as programmed cell death-1 (PD-1). In this review, the biological characteristics of Tim-3 and the function of Tim-3 in regulating tumorigenesis and inflammation have been summarized. The usage of a single blockade of Tim-3 or in combination with multiple immunotherapy regimens have drawn attention to antitumor potential as a target for immunotherapy.

Background: Latinx elders are underrepresented in dementia research. In a previous study we assessed research attitudes in urban minority elders and found a significant minority expressed neutral to negative attitudes relating to trust, safety, and personal responsibility to help research. Objective: To assess the impact of a composite intervention on attitudes toward research and research participation among elderly Latinx. The intervention was a collaboratively produced research participation video shown during presentations with our elderly community advisory board (CAB) as co-presenters. Methods: The video was created by the ADRC and CAB. All senior center attendees were eligible to participate. Afterwards, the Research Attitudes Questionnaire (RAQ) and a brief questionnaire on the impact of the video were administered. Using Wilcoxon Rank Sum Tests, Chi Square, and OLS regressions, RAQ responses were compared to those from a historical cohort from similar centers. Results: 74 in the “Historical Cohort 1” and 104 in “Intervention Cohort 2” were included. RAQ total score was higher in Cohort 2 than Cohort 1 (28.5 versus 26.1, p < 0.05) after controlling for age, education, and country of origin. In response to the question “Has the video influenced your willingness and interest to participate in research”, 88.7%of the participants in Cohort 2 reported being “more” or “much more” interested in research. Conclusion: Tailoring community research recruitment programs to include relatable peers using novel recruitment techniques may have positive implications for improving enrollment of diverse elderly individuals in research.

Published: June 2021

Background: Transcranial photobiomodulation (tPBM) has recently emerged as a potential cognitive enhancement technique and clinical treatment for various neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders by delivering invisible near-infrared light to the scalp and increasing energy metabolism in the brain. Objective: We assessed whether transcranial photobiomodulation with near-infrared light modulates cerebral electrical activity through electroencephalogram (EEG) and cerebral blood flow (CBF). Methods: We conducted a single-blind, sham-controlled pilot study to test the effect of continuous (c-tPBM), pulse (p-tPBM), and sham (s-tPBM) transcranial photobiomodulation on EEG oscillations and CBF using diffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS) in a sample of ten healthy subjects [6F/4 M; mean age 28.6±12.9 years]. c-tPBM near-infrared radiation (NIR) (830 nm; 54.8 mW/cm2; 65.8 J/cm2; 2.3 kJ) and p-tPBM (830 nm; 10 Hz; 54.8 mW/cm2; 33%; 21.7 J/cm2; 0.8 kJ) were delivered concurrently to the frontal areas by four LED clusters. EEG and DCS recordings were performed weekly before, during, and after each tPBM session. Results: c-tPBM significantly boosted gamma (t = 3.02, df = 7, p < 0.02) and beta (t = 2.91, df = 7, p < 0.03) EEG spectral powers in eyes-open recordings and gamma power (t = 3.61, df = 6, p < 0.015) in eyes-closed recordings, with a widespread increase over frontal-central scalp regions. There was no significant effect of tPBM on CBF compared to sham. Conclusion: Our data suggest a dose-dependent effect of tPBM with NIR on cerebral gamma and beta neuronal activity. Altogether, our findings support the neuromodulatory effect of transcranial NIR.
Local Perceptions and Trends of Climate Change in the Sikkim Himalaya, North-East India
Authors: Arora Prachita , Ali Sheikh Nawaz , Morthekai P.
Published: June 2021

The Himalayan high mountain areas are more vulnerable to climate change and the awareness of its impacts among the natives is very crucial as well as beneficial to stakeholders and policymakers. The impacts of climate change via food security, water availability, natural hazards, agriculture, and livelihoods have a direct relation or threat to the lives of high mountain communities, as these areas are experiencing the immediate and greatest impacts of climate change. Although the tourism industry has become the backbone of the economy in these areas, a significant increase in tourist footfall has also impacted the environment, livelihoods, culture and food habits. To understand the local perceptions of climate change, a binary question-based survey (interview) was conducted in six main subdivisions of North Sikkim, which is a biodiversity and tourism hotspot. The data revealed that irrespective of the locality (urban/rural) people are aware of climate change. Significant coherence in the responses among gender and age groups, and between remote and developed areas exist. The transhumant herder populations are also well aware of climate change (80%). Peoples’ perception about temperature change and the meteorological data are also consistent, however, a misperception is observed with the precipitation data. Decreasing snowfall patterns and increasing landslides in the higher altitudes are major concerns among the natives. The majority of people have denied any positive outcome of climate change and around 85% of the respondents are willing to participate at the community level in mitigation efforts to help curb climate change.

Published: June 2021

To scientifically and reasonably evaluate and pre-warn the congestion degree of subway transfer hub, and effectively know the risk of subway passengers before the congestion time coming. We analyzed the passenger flow characteristics of various service facilities in the hub. The congested area of the subway passenger flow interchange hub is divided into queuing area and distribution area. The queuing area congestion evaluation model selects M/M/C and M/G/C based on queuing theory. The queuing model and the congestion evaluation model of the distribution area select the TOPSIS (Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution) method. Queue length and waiting time are selected as the evaluation indicators of congestion in the queuing area, and passenger flow, passenger flow density and walking speed are selected as the evaluation indicators of congestion in the distribution area. And then, K-means cluster analysis method is used to analyze the sample data, and based on the selected evaluation indicators and the evaluation model establishes the queuing model of the queuing area and the TOPSIS model of the collection and distribution area. The standard value of the congestion level of various service facilities and the congestion level value of each service facility obtained from the evaluation are used as input to comprehensively evaluate the overall congestion degree of the subway interchange hub. Finally we take the Xi’an Road subway interchange hub in Dalian as empirical research, the data needed for congestion evaluation was obtained through field observations and questionnaires, and the congestion degree of the queue area and the distribution area at different times of the workday was evaluated, and the congestion of each service facility was evaluated. The grade value is used as input, and the TOPSIS method is used to evaluate the degree of congestion in the subway interchange hub, which is consistent with the results of passenger congestion in the questionnaire, which verifies the feasibility of the evaluation model and method.

Published: June 2021

Under the background of the new medical reform, the pharmaceutical industry is in constant transformation and upgrading, and the establishment of a rational and efficient pharmaceutical logistics system is imminent. Carbon emission, cost and time are set as the target to construct the model of location-routing-inventory optimization of highway, rail and air transport hubs with capacity limits. Then the warehouse of pharmaceutical logistics hub is selected, and the distribution path of pharmaceutical logistics and the inventory strategy are planned to realize the scientific decision of the system. The NSGA-III algorithm is used to solve the problem. The diversity of the population is maintained by the well-distributed reference points, and the optimal solution set of nondominant Pareto is obtained. Spacing, HRS, PR and GD are used to measure the performance of the algorithm. The example analysis shows that the number of Pareto optimal solutions solved by the algorithm is large and evenly distributed, and convergence and operation efficiency of algorithm is good. The sensitivity analysis of three kinds of freight rates shows that the influence of the freight rates on the objective function value should be fully considered when making decisions. The method focuses on the problem of optimizing the layout of multi-modal transport hubs and improves the existing theories of it.

ILSSPP: Intelligent location sharing system with privacy preserving features for smart cities
Authors: Saldamli Gokay , Chow Richard , Jin Hongxia
Published: June 2021

Social networking services are increasingly accessed through mobile devices. This trend has prompted services such as Facebook and Google+to incorporate location as a de facto feature of user interaction. At the same time, services based on location such as Foursquare and Shopkick are also growing as smartphone market penetration increases. In fact, this growth is happening despite concerns (growing at a similar pace) about security and third-party use of private location information (e.g., for advertising). Nevertheless, service providers have been unwilling to build truly private systems in which they do not have access to location information. In this paper, we describe an architecture and a trial implementation of a privacy-preserving location sharing system called ILSSPP. The system protects location information from the service provider and yet enables fine grained location-sharing. One main feature of the system is to protect an individual’s social network structure. The pattern of location sharing preferences towards contacts can reveal this structure without any knowledge of the locations themselves. ILSSPP protects locations sharing preferences through protocol unification and masking. ILSSPP has been implemented as a standalone solution, but the technology can also be integrated into location-based services to enhance privacy.

This paper mainly studies the application of image processing technology in the measurement of high-frequency vibration direction and amplitude. According to the corresponding relationship between the vibration blur image and the still image in the frequency spectrum, the image is preprocessed. This article adopts the traditional camera calibration method, which uses a special standard template to calibrate the internal and external parameters of the camera. The three-dimensional search algorithm is used to analyze and compare the recognition images of the left and right cameras in each state, and finally calculate the internal and external parameters of the camera. The data shows that the fundamental frequency is about 4.9 Hz, and the fundamental frequency order basically fluctuates around 16. The calculated amplitudes are 0.89, 0.93 and 0.99μm, respectively. The results show that the image processing technology can restore image edge details to a certain extent, suppress noise, and effectively shorten the matching time between feature points.

With the development of society and the progress of science and technology, the process of urban infrastructure construction is accelerating, various infrastructure networks are constantly improving, and the links between different infrastructure networks are getting closer. Compared with a single network, this kind of interdependent network is more complex, and the research results of the existing single network are difficult to explain the nature and phenomenon of this kind of network. This article mainly introduces the research on the robustness and recovery mechanism of interdependent networks. From the perspective of a complex network, this paper combines the interdependence between the networks in the actual system and the node load and builds an interdependent network model. On the basis of the load capacity model, an interdependent network error model is established. And through matlab simulation experiments, the fault propagation characteristics of dependent networks under three conditions and the reliability attack methods of dependent networks are studied. The experimental results in this article show that dependent networks show exceptional vulnerability under deliberate attack functions, while dependent networks show good robustness under random attack modes. In addition, increasing the network node tolerance coefficient can improve the robustness of the interdependent network. When the tolerance is increased from 1 to 10, the robustness of the dependent network is increased by 18%.

Due to the complex working environment of marine cables, the prediction of residual insulation life of power cables has become a concern. This study mainly discusses the power cable insulation residual life prediction method considering the uncertainty of influencing factors. The aging time points were 0 h, 72 h, 144 h, 264 h, 432 h, 600 h, 844 h and 1152 h. Finally, the elongation at break, the dielectric loss angle of frequency domain dielectric spectrum and space charge distribution are explored. At the beginning of aging, the decline trend of elongation at break curves was gentle, from 510% to 499.6%, 480.6%, and 470.2%. The results show that the difference value of the life prediction method designed in this study is small, which can be effectively used to predict the residual life of power cable insulation.

In the era of artificial intelligence, traditional teaching models can be replaced by intelligent teaching models, thereby effectively improving the efficiency of ideological and political teaching. This paper proposes a multi-frame sliding window double-threshold clutter map CFAR algorithm and analyzes its detection probability and false alarm probability formula. Moreover, the ideological and political teaching system based on artificial intelligence and improved machine learning is designed based on the B/S model. In addition, this article analyzes the practical teaching performance of the model combined with actual teaching and analyzes the teaching effect of the model in ideological and political education. Through experimental research, it can be seen that the performance of the experimental group is significantly higher than that of the control group, which verifies that the algorithm constructed in this article has a certain practical effect.

PURPOSE: Hip displacement impacts quality of life for many children with cerebral palsy (CP). While early detection can help avoid dislocation and late-stage surgery, formalized surveillance programs are not ubiquitous. This study aimed to examine: 1) surgical practices around pediatric hip displacement for children with CP in a region without formalized hip surveillance; and 2) utility of MP compared to traditional radiology reporting for quantifying displacement. METHODS: A retrospective chart review examined hip displacement surgeries performed on children with CP between 2007–2016. Surgeries were classified as preventative, reconstructive, or salvage. Pre- and post-operative migration percentage (MP) was calculated for available radiographs using a mobile application and compared using Wilcoxon Signed Ranks test. MPs were also compared with descriptions in the corresponding radiology reports using directed and conventional content analyses. RESULTS: Data from 67 children (115 surgical hips) were included. Primary surgery types included preventative (63.5% hips), reconstructive (36.5%), or salvage (0%). For the 92 hips with both radiology reports and radiographs available, reports contained a range of descriptors that inconsistently reflected the retrospectively-calculated MPs. CONCLUSION: Current radiology reporting practices do not appear to effectively describe hip displacement for children with CP. Therefore, standardized reporting of MP is recommended.
Addressing disparities among children with cerebral palsy: Optimizing enablement, functioning, and participation

PURPOSE: Recognizing health disparities among children with cerebral palsy (CP) is necessary for understanding potential risk factors for CP and for implementing early and effective preventative and intervention treatments. However, there is currently little and conflicting evidence regarding the direct impact of contextual factors such as socioeconomic status (SES) for children with CP in the United States. These contextual factors include the complex social determinants of health on prematurity, comprehensive informed obstetric management for minority and vulnerable populations, and cumulative adversity disproportionately experienced by children, by gender, minority status, immigration, poverty, and structural racism. METHODS: This study presents results from a review of health disparities among children with CP, using registry and population surveillance data from Australia, Canada, Scandinavia, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Turkey, and the United States. RESULTS: The review confirmed that there are significant health disparities among children with CP, both in terms of prevalence and severity, based on factors such as SES, neighborhood disadvantage, maternal education, gender, and minority status. CONCLUSION: Strategies need to be implemented in the United States to promote enablement and functioning among children with CP who face additional health disparities. This requires a greater understanding of population groups at increased risk, comprehensive assessment and care for young children with motor delays, and systematic population counts of children and adults with CP using registries and systems of neurodevelopmental surveillance across health, education, and community rehabilitation. These efforts also require sensitivity to structural and persistent racism, stigma, trauma-informed care, and culturally sensitive community engagement. Additional efforts are also required to improve outcomes over the life course for individuals living a life with CP from a framework of enablement, self-direction, equity and social justice.
Inclusive Design as a Market Differentiator: An Industry and Academic Perspective on Diversity-Driven Initiatives in Built Environment Design Across North America, Europe, the UK, and Australia
Authors: Mikus Jenna , Rieger Janice
Published: June 2021

Industry and academic perspectives have become more focused on designing for Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) over the past few years, both in general and particularly within the built environment. This renewed interest appears to have stemmed from a basis of respect-based ‘due diligence’ in 2018 to one of necessity in 2020, when the COVID-19 pandemic brought areas of difference into focus and exacerbated them, making it harder for people to live their everyday lives. In this paper, the authors seek to bridge the divide between academia and industry on the subject of Inclusive Design (ID) through their use of a combination of an academic and grey literature review as well as empirical research conducted with scholars and practitioners. These multiple methods focus less on the academic perspectives and more on how the industry has responded to the research and market demand. It clarifies nuanced differences among ID-related terms, provides best practice examples for wellness in the built environment, and identifies governing body guidelines (i.e., principles, protocols, policies) that have been enacted for ethical and business differentiating purposes.
