Developing a parametric system for pointe shoe customization
Authors:   , Christodoulou Marilena 
Published: October 2023

A Pointe Shoe is worn by ballet dancers while performing “en pointe”. This fundamental ballet technique, which is performed by rising to the tips of the toes, enables dancers to create the illusion of incredible lightness and sylph-like appearance. However, pointe work causes pain, blisters, calluses, and disfigurement of the feet. Dancers, pointe shoe fitters, and podiatrists agree that finding Pointe Shoes which fit correctly and adjust throughout your career could help to avoid feet injuries. The different parts of the shoe require different performance, depending on the different parts of the foot. Each dancer has particular feet, with variations of toe length and shape, arch flexibility, and mechanical strength. Instead of having the dancer’s feet adjusted on the point shoes, the idea is to have the shoes, uniquely ‘adapt’ according to the morphology of the feet. The foot is not just a passive weight-bearer, it must assume positions and execute movements beyond its normal limits. Therefore, the parameters to take in account are classified in anatomical, mechanical, assembly and material.
From the study, it is deduced that the above parameters may be the key to define a proposal for a solution to the design of Pointe shoe.
Las puntas se usan durante la actuación "en pointe". Esta fundamental técnica de ballet, que se realiza levantándose a los dedos del pie, permite a los bailarines, crear la ilusión de una ligereza increíble y el aspecto de sílfide. Sin embargo, bailando en puntas causa dolor, ampollas, callos, y desfiguración de pies, comúnmente conocida entre los bailarines. Estas heridas pueden evitarse si los pies están mejor soportados. Bailarines, zapateros de punta, y podólogos están de acuerdo en que tener las zapatillas de punta que se adaptan y ajustan correctamente, a lo largo de carrera podrían ayudar a evitar las heridas en los pies. Cada bailarín tiene los pies únicos, con las variaciones de longitud de los dedos del pie y de su forma, la flexibilidad del arco, y la resistencia mecánica. En lugar de ajustar los pies del bailarín en las zapatillas de puntas, la idea es diseñar zapatos, que pueden "adaptarse" en forma única, según la morfología de los pies y también de la fuerza de los bailarines. El pie no es solo un portador pasivo de peso, debe asumir posiciones y ejecutar movimientos más allá de sus límites normales. Por tanto, los parámetros a tener en cuenta se clasifican en anatómicos, mecánicos, de montaje y material. Del estudio se deduce que los parámetros anteriores pueden ser la clave para definir una propuesta de solución al diseño de Pointe.

Modelo de ciclos socio-tecnológicos para productos social y ambientalmente responsables. Caso : corte intensivo de rosas con energía humana
Authors:   , García Acosta Gabriel 
Published: October 2023

This doctoral thesis develops a socio-technological product cycle model (s-tPC), which is then employed to approach product design and development (PDD) from a symmetrical - that is, socio-technological and socio-environmentally responsible - perspective. The model consists of four parts: a conceptual structure, which establishes the symmetrical approach, a methodological structure, which analyses and organises trends and methods based on the human factor and on the environmental factor, a categorisation of sociotechnological product cycles that includes stages, phases, processes, and social-technical qualities of products, and axiological foundations that serve as a basis for guiding action and decision-making in the PDD process. Application of the model is exemplified in the design and development of an intensive rose-cutting tool using human energy, which solves a problem that has a significant social and environmental impact in Colombia’s flower industry.
Esta tesis doctoral desarrolla un modelo de ciclos socio-tecnológicos de producto (Cs-tP), con el cual se aborda el diseño y desarrollo de productos (DDP) desde una perspectiva simétrica, esto es, sociotecnológica y socio-ambientalmente responsable. El modelo se compone de cuatro partes: una estructura conceptual que establece el abordaje simétrico, una estructura metodológica que analiza y organiza las tendencias y métodos desde el factor humano y desde el factor ambiental, una caracterización de los ciclos socio-tecnológicos de producto incluyendo etapas, fases, procesos y cualidades socio-técnicas de los productos, y las bases axiológicas que sirven de fundamento para la guía de acción y la toma de decisiones en el proceso de DDP. La aplicación del modelo es ejemplificada en el diseño y desarrollo de una herramienta para corte intensivo de rosas con energía humana, con el cual se resuelve una problemática de alto impacto social y ambiental en la floricultura colombiana

Sınıraşan Krizlere Karşı Kentsel Direnci Oluşturmada Kentler Arası Uluslararası İş Birliği Ağları
Authors: Uzun Abdullah 
Published: October 2023

Son yıllarda kentlerin yüzleşmek durumunda kaldığı iklim krizi, doğal afetler, mülteci krizi ve pandemiler gibi krizler ve afetler birden çok yönetim alanına ve politika sektörlerine tezahür etmeleri ile sınıraşan nitelik göstermektedir. Kentler üzerinde kısa ve uzun vadede çok yıkıcı etkiler gösteren sınıraşan krizlerle tek aktör olarak kent yönetimlerinin krizi ele aldığı geleneksel yöntemlerle başa çıkılamaz. Sınıraşan krizlere karşı en etkili mücadele yöntemlerinden biri kentsel direnci artırmaktır. Dirençli kentler, krizlerin yol açtığı şok ve tehditlere karşı uyum sağlayabilen ve kendini hızlıca iyileştirebilen kentlerdir. Fakat dirençli bir kent olmak kent yönetimlerinin sadece kendi imkan ve gayretleriyle gerçekleştirebilecekleri bir uğraş değildir. Dirençli bir kent olmanın en etkin mekanizmaları iş birlikleri, ağlar, ortaklıklar ve karşılıklı ilişkilerden faydalanmaktır. Kentsel alanlarda gerçekleştirilen iş birliğinin birçok yöntemi bulunmaktadır. Uluslararası kent ağları bu iş birliği yöntemlerinden en etkin olanlarından biri olarak öne çıkmaktadır. Bu ağ yapıları, bilgi ve deneyimin paylaşılması, politika transferi, kaynak temini, kamuoyu oluşturma, dayanışma sağlama gibi işlevlere sahiptir. Sayıları ve tematik konuları her geçen gün artan uluslararası kent ağları ile sınıraşan krizlerin kentsel alanlardaki yıkıcı etkilerinin azaltılması ve kentsel direncin artırılması daha etkin bir şekilde sağlanabilmektedir.

Expérience des réfugiés, demandeurs d’asile et migrants sans statut et offre de services de santé et sociaux pendant la pandémie au Québec
Authors: Gautier Lara , Bentayeb Naïma 
Published: October 2023

À l’échelle mondiale, la pandémie de la COVID-19 a affecté de manière disproportionnée les migrants en termes de risque d’infection, de santé mentale, de processus d’immigration et d’accès aux services de santé et sociaux et aux ressources de soutien. Face à la COVID-19, les organismes communautaires et les établissements du réseau public de services de santé et services sociaux du Québec ont réagi en adaptant leurs pratiques et en offrant davantage de services à distance. Ils ont joué un rôle central dans la prévention et le traitement des infections à la COVID-19 et ils ont oeuvré en matière de protection sociale. Ce numéro thématique offre une réflexion approfondie des chercheurs de l’Institut universitaire SHERPA de Montréal sur les expériences des migrants pendant la pandémie de COVID-19 au Québec et sur la valorisation d’innovations dans les services communautaires et institutionnels mises en oeuvre.
La position sociale : un déterminant révélateur de l’expérience des personnes migrantes sans assurance médicale à Montréal durant la pandémie de COVID-19
Authors: Dufour Andréanne , Beaujoin Camille , Gagnon-Dufresne Marie-Catherine , Cloos Patrick 
Published: October 2023

Selon les plus récentes estimations, la Loi sur l’assurance maladie laisse 50 000 à 70 000 migrants sans assurance médicale au Québec. L’accès aux soins de santé dans la province canadienne est, entre autres, lié au statut migratoire. Avant la pandémie, diverses barrières à l’accès aux soins (administratives, économiques, linguistiques, culturelles, etc.) avaient été identifiées. En tant que déterminant social de la santé, l’accès discriminatoire aux soins de santé nuit à la santé de ces migrants. Dans le contexte de la crise sanitaire liée à la COVID-19, les inégalités sociales en santé ont semblé s’intensifier pour les personnes issues des diverses communautés migrantes vivant à Montréal et ailleurs dans le monde. Grâce à un projet de recherche qualitatif, nous explorons dans cet article comment la position sociale, en particulier le statut migratoire, se traduit dans l’expérience vécue pendant la pandémie de COVID-19 pour les personnes migrantes sans assurance médicale vivant à Montréal. Pour atteindre cet objectif, nous avons mené des entretiens semi-structurés auprès de 19 personnes lors de la première et de la deuxième vague de pandémie (août 2020 à octobre 2020). Nos résultats suggèrent que le statut migratoire, à l’intersection avec le revenu, les conditions de travail et les rapports de genre, joue un rôle déterminant sur l’expérience vécue des participants avant et pendant la pandémie. Cela met en lumière l’urgence de mettre en place des politiques publiques plus inclusives pour assurer l’accès à l’aide sociale et à l’assurance médicale afin de remédier aux inégalités sociales en santé auxquelles sont confrontées les personnes migrantes sans assurance médicale vivant au Québec.

Published: October 2023

This study investigated the differences in perception of Filipino teachers employed in government and private school teachers based in Thailand of the instructional leadership of their respective school heads. 65 Filipino teachers volunteered to be the respondents of this study. Thirty-two (32) were teachers in government schools while thirty-three (33) were private school teachers. The Instructional Leadership Questionnaire (ILQ), which measures the respondent’s perception of a school leader’s 7 domains of instructional leadership, namely: Instructional Resource Provider (7 items), Maintain Visible Presence (6 items), Professional Development (7 items), Maximize Instructional Time (6 items), Monitoring Students’ Progress (4 items), Feedback on Teaching Learning (5 items) and Curriculum Implementation (5 items) was administered on the respondents. In terms of instructional resource provider and curriculum implementation, similar scores were obtained by government and private school teachers. However, the private school teachers had higher ratings for their respective school leaders in the domains of Maintain Visible Presence, Professional Development, Maximize Instructional Time, Monitoring Students’ Progress and Feedback on Teaching Learning. Statistically significant differences were established in the domains Professional Development and Monitoring Students’ Progress. In both these domains, the means of the private school teachers were higher than those of the government teachers.
A Case Report on Recurrent Episodes of Dyselectrolytemia Diagnosed as Gitleman Syndrome
Authors: Priyadharshini V.  , Ganesh Deepika , Rajmahizhan T.  
Published: October 2023

Background: Gitleman syndrome (GS) is also known as familial hypokalaemia-hypomagnesemia, which is a rare genetic disorder. It is an autosomal recessive disease that is characterized by hypokalaemia, hypomagnesemia, metabolic alkalosis, hypocalciuric hypercalcemia and hyperaldosteronism.
Case Report: 70-year-old female patient who was diagnosed with Gitelman syndrome with the symptoms of loss of appetite, muscle weakness, and abdominal pain. Electrolyte levels were low. After inconclusive evidence from laboratory investigation, genetic testing was performed. The detection of the SLC12A3 gene mutation encoding thiazide diuretic sensitive sodium chloride cotransporter located in DCT of kidney, confirmed the diagnosis of GS with c.1331delA variant. No pathological variant of CLCNKB for Bartter syndrome has been found. The patient was treated with parenteral normal saline, potassium chloride, Arachitol, spironolactone, metoclopramide, and MgD3 (magnesium glycinate and vitamin D3), the symptoms was significantly relieved. After discharge the intravenous medicines were shifted to oral and followed up with serum electrolyte levels in our institute.
