Integrating health into the complex urban planning policy and decision-making context: a systems thinking analysis
Authors: Pineo Helen , Zimmermann Nici , Davies Michael 
Published: February 2020

AbstractPublic health practitioners produce urban health indicator (UHI) tools to inform built environment policy and decision-making, among other objectives. Indicator producers perceive UHI tools as an easily understandable form of evidence about the urban environment impact on health for policy-makers’ consumption. However, indicator producers often conceptualise policy-making as a rational and linear process, therefore underestimating the complex and contested nature of developing and implementing policy. This study investigates the health-promotion value of UHI tools in the complex urban planning policy and decision-making context. A thematic analysis was conducted following semi-structured interviews with 22 indicator producers and users in San Francisco, Melbourne and Sydney. The analysis was informed by collaborative rationality and systems theories and the results were used to develop causal loop diagrams (CLDs) of producers and users’ mental models. The preliminary CLDs were tested and improved through a participatory modelling workshop (six participants). A high-level CLD depicts users and producers’ shared mental model in which indicator development and use are embedded in policy development and application processes. In the cases analysed, creating and using UHI tools increased inter-sectoral relationships, which supported actors to better understand each other’s opportunities and constraints. These relationships spurred new advocates for health in diverse organisations, supporting health-in-all-policies and whole-of-society approaches. Constraints to health-promoting policy and implementation (such as those which are legal, political and economic in nature), were overcome through community involvement in UHI tools and advocacy effectiveness. A number of factors reduced the perceived relevance and authority of UHI tools, including: a high number of available indicators, lack of neighbourhood scale data and poor-quality data. In summary, UHI tools were a form of evidence that influenced local urban planning policy and decision-making when they were embedded in policy processes, networks and institutions. In contrast to the dominant policy impact model in the indicator literature, such evidence did not typically influence policy as an exogenous entity. Indicators had impact when they were embedded in local institutions and well-resourced over time, resulting in trusted relationships and collaborations among indicator producers and users. Further research is needed to explore other governance contexts and how UHI tools affect the power of different actors, particularly for under-represented communities.
Population-based RNA profiling in Add Health finds social disparities in inflammatory and antiviral gene regulation to emerge by young adulthood

Published: February 2020

SignificanceHealth in later life and longevity vary substantially across sociodemographic groups, but the biological mechanisms of these disparities remain poorly understood. We conducted a transcriptome profiling study of inflammatory and antiviral gene activity in a large, nationally representative and ethnically diverse sample of young adults and found that sociodemographic variations in the activity of these molecular pathways emerge by young adulthood—well before they manifest as late-life chronic illness. Inflammation related to biobehavioral factors (BMI, smoking), interferons related to individual characteristics (sex, race/ethnicity), and transcription factor and immune-cell activation showed additional links to social context (family poverty, geographic region). These data suggest that interventions early in life may address the predisease physiological disparities that manifest as late-life health disparities.

Significance
The key molecular mechanisms underlying the etiology of bipolar disorder (BD) have remained enigmatic. As BD patients often show comorbidity with insulin/glucose metabolic syndrome, we hypothesized that the central and peripheral abnormalities might share some identical molecular mechanism. Through investigating the expression of insulin/synapse dual functioning genes in patient induced pluripotent stem cell-derived neurons and their effects on mouse behaviors, as well as testing the mRNA level in BD patient plasma samples, we demonstrated that Syt7 is likely a key factor involved in neuropsychiatric-like behaviors. Our work helps explain the molecular mechanism involved in the pathogenesis of BD.
Effects of bilingualism on statistical learning in preschoolers
Authors: Verhagen Josje , Bree Elise de 
Published: February 2020

AbstractEarlier work indicates that bilingualism may positively affect statistical learning, but leaves open whether a bilingual benefit is (1) found during learning rather than in a post-hoc test following a learning phase and (2) explained by enhanced verbal short-term memory skill in the bilinguals. Forty-one bilingual and 56 monolingual preschoolers completed a serial reaction time task and a nonword repetition task (NWR). Linear mixed-effect regressions indicated that the bilinguals showed a stronger decrease in reaction times over the regular blocks of the task than the monolinguals. No group differences in accuracy-based measures were found. NWR performance, which did not differ between the groups, did not account for the attested effect of bilingualism. These results provide partial support for effects of bilingualism on statistical learning, which appear during learning and are not due to enhanced verbal short-term memory. Taken together, these findings add to a growing body of research on effects of bilingualism on statistical learning, and constitute a first step towards investigating the factors which may underlie such effects.
Plural marking patterns of nouns and their associates in the world’s languages
Authors: Chen Rong 
Published: February 2020

Abstract
Plural marking reaches most corners of languages. When a noun occurs with another linguistic element, which is
called associate in this paper, plural marking on the two-component structure has four logically possible patterns: doubly
unmarked, noun-marked, associate-marked and doubly marked. These four patterns do not distribute homogeneously in the world’s
languages, because they are motivated by two competing motivations iconicity and economy. Some patterns are preferred over others,
and this preference is consistently found in languages across the world. In other words, there exists a universal distribution of the four
plural marking patterns. Furthermore, holding the view that plural marking on associates expresses plurality of nouns, I propose a
hypothetical universal which uses the number of pluralized associates to predict plural marking on nouns. A data set collected from a sample of 100 languages is used to test the hypothetical universal, by employing the machine learning algorithm logistic regression.
Engaging citizen translators in disasters
Authors: O’Mathúna Dónal P. , Escartín Carla Parra , Roche Proinsias , Marlowe Jay 
Published: February 2020

Abstract
Crisis situations, including disasters, require urgent decisions, often without sufficient resources, including
decisions about translating and interpreting. We argue that using citizen translators (i.e., translators without professional
translator training) in such contexts can be ethically justified when their preparation incorporates virtue ethics. Translation
potentially improves access to crucial safety information, and delivering such information is critical. We acknowledge several
ethical challenges with citizen translation based on our experience in humanitarian contexts, relevant literature, and discussions
with stakeholders engaged with our research consortium. Recourse to citizen translators has limitations, but we advance mitigation
measures through training to address the ethical challenges of providing translation services to linguistically diverse groups in
crisis. We propose virtue ethics as a framework for citizen translators to develop ethical decision-making skills and virtues. We
suggest virtue ethics training to prepare citizen translators for ethical challenges in the field.
Self-care as an ethical responsibility
Authors: Costa Beverley , Lázaro Gutiérrez Raquel , Rausch Tom 
Published: February 2020

Abstract
This article presents a pilot research project which examined the effectiveness of remote, formal support, provided by Colleagues Across Borders, for volunteer interpreters in an immigration detention support NGO. We consider the occupational stress and susceptibility to vicarious traumatization and burnout for interpreters working in sensitive (e.g., refugee) contexts. It is argued that it is an ethical responsibility to keep oneself fit and well-prepared to perform interpreting assignments to the highest standards. The project offered an intervention of remote support for non-professional interpreters in a detention center who needed professional advice and emotional relief. Analysis of pre- and post-intervention focus groups and questionnaires indicates an improvement in self-care, resilience, confidence, and effectiveness after three support sessions, suggesting that a remote yet personal support program can mitigate the effects of vicarious trauma and burnout for non-professional and professional interpreters working in ethically challenging refugee contexts.

Published: February 2020

Abstract
Noise affects human health and behavior. Significantly noise results in a decrease in quality of life. The World Health Organization states that noise pollution is the third most dangerous type of environmental pollution. Noise is seriously problematic in the health of the urban environment in the world. The city of Yogyakarta as a center of education in Indonesia has experienced a very large growth in urban numbers from various provinces in Indonesia. Noise testing is carried out in residential areas as well as being an education area in Yogyakarta. The tool used MU.04 / SLM / 04 (Sound Level Meter) shows a value of 62.1 dBA from the normal limit of 55 dBA. These results indicate that noise is disturbing. So it is necessary to do noise reduction along the crowded roads of vehicles with natural vegetation. Natural vegetation that is fast growing and capable of significantly reducing noise is bamboo. Bamboo vegetation can bind more carbon than tree plants. The green belt vegetation of bamboo plants will create a more comfortable, shady and beautiful environment in the city of Yogyakarta.

Published: February 2020

Abstract
A workload that exceeds the ability of workers or vice versa can cause a problem for workers. In this paper, we present a measurement of the physical and mental workload of workers at UKM Batik Jumputan Ibu Sejahtera Yogyakarta, and it has a purpose to find problems that occur so that recommendation for further improvement and problem-solving can be proposed. The physical workload measured by using RULA (Rapid Upper Limb Assessment) method, while the mental workload is measured by using NASA-TLX (NASA Task Load Index). This study succeeded in revealing the problems occur on workers such as there are differences in the level of worker risk which is caused by differences in age and differences in worker perceptions towards the dimensions of workload, and some workers experience high or very high levels of risk which is caused by improper work postures. Recommendations that can be done to solve the case are adding or replacing workers, increasing the workability of workers, adding work aids, changing work methods, and increasing workers’ understanding so that they can fill out questionnaires accurately.

Abstract
Vocational education has an important role in the effort to create a workforce that has competencies that are in accordance with the characteristics of the needs of the industrial world. The learning process that emphasizes mastery of specific competencies requires an appropriate learning model. Teaching factory model is one of the solutions to prepare students to have competencies that are in accordance with the needs of industrial competence. Learning teaching factory developed can be integrated into the production unit organized by the school. This study is a literature study that reviews the development of teaching factory models in vocational schools. The results of the discussion concluded that teaching factory development was the main point where the process included the formation of management, production processes, marketing processes, and evaluation processes. Teaching factory developed is integrated with the production unit for the implementation of students practices.
Living within a One Planet reality: the contribution of personal Footprint calculators
Authors: Collins Andrea , Galli Alessandro , Hipwood Tara , Murthy Adeline 
Published: February 2020

Abstract
During the last 50 years, humanity’s Ecological Footprint has increased by nearly 190% indicating a growing unbalance in the human-environment relationship, coupled with major environmental and social changes. Our ability to live within the planet’s biological limits requires not only a major re-think in how we produce and distribute ‘things’, but also a shift in consumption activities. Footprint calculators can provide a framing that communicates the extent to which an individual’s daily activities are compatible with our One Planet context. This paper presents the findings from the first international study to assess the value of personal Footprint calculators in guiding individuals towards sustainable consumption choices. It focuses specifically on Global Footprint Network’s personal Footprint calculator, and aims to understand the profile of calculator users and assess the contribution of calculators to increasing individual awareness and encouraging sustainable choices. Our survey of 4245 respondents show that 75% of users resided in 10 countries, 54% were aged 18–34 years and had largely used the calculator within an educational context (62%). The calculator was considered a valuable tool for knowledge generation by 91% of users, and 78% found it useful to motivate action. However, only 23% indicated the calculator provided them with the necessary information to make actual changes to their life and reduce their personal Footprint. The paper discusses how and why this personal Footprint calculator has been effective in enhancing individuals’ understanding of the environmental impact of their actions, framing the scale of the problem and empowering users to understand the impacts of different lifestyle choices. Those individual-level and system-level changes needed to generate global sustainability outcomes are also discussed. Similar to other calculators, a gap is also identified in terms of this calculator facilitating individuals to convert new knowledge into action.
Greenhouse gas fluxes from reservoirs determined by watershed lithology, morphometry, and anthropogenic pressure
Authors: León-Palmero Elizabeth , Morales-Baquero Rafael , Reche Isabel 
Published: February 2020

Abstract
Human population growth has increased the demand for water and clean energy, leading to the massive construction of reservoirs. Reservoirs can emit greenhouse gases (GHG) affecting the atmospheric radiative budget. The radiative forcing due to CO2, CH4, and N2O emissions and the relative contribution of each GHG in terms of CO2 equivalents to the total forcing is practically unknown. We determined simultaneously the CO2, CH4, and N2O fluxes in reservoirs from diverse watersheds and under variable human pressure to cover the vast idiosyncrasy of temperate Mediterranean reservoirs. We obtained that GHG fluxes ranged more than three orders of magnitude. The reservoirs were sources of CO2 and N2O when the watershed lithology was mostly calcareous, and the crops and the urban areas dominated the landscape. By contrast, reservoirs were sinks of CO2 and N2O when the watershed lithology was predominantly siliceous, and the landscape had more than 40% of forestal coverage. All reservoirs were sources of CH4, and emissions were determined mostly by reservoir mean depth and water temperature. The radiative forcing was substantially higher during the stratification than during the mixing. During the stratification the radiative forcings ranged from 125 mg CO2 equivalents m−2 d−1 to 31 884 mg CO2 equivalents m−2 d−1 and were dominated by the CH4 emissions; whereas during the mixing the radiative forcings ranged from 29 mg CO2 equivalents m−2 d−1 to 722 mg CO2 equivalents m−2 d−1 and were dominated by CO2 emissions. The N2O contribution to the radiative forcing was minor except in one reservoir with a landscape dominated by crops and urban areas. Future construction of reservoirs should consider that siliceous bedrocks, forestal landscapes, and deep canyons could minimize their radiative forcings.
