description: Walking is the most basic and sustainable mode of transportation, and many jurisdictions would like to see increased walking rates as a way of reducing congestion and emission levels and improving public health. In the United States, walking trips account for 10.5% of all trips undertaken. To increase this rate, additional research on what makes people feel more comfortable while walking is needed. Research on pedestrian quality of service (QOS) has sought to quantify the performance of the pedestrian facilities from a pedestrian’s perspective. However, the impact of pedestrian safety countermeasures on pedestrian QOS for roadway crossings is largely unknown. The objective of this study is to discern pedestrian QOS based on physiological measurements of pedestrians performing normal walking activities in different traffic contexts. The naturalistic walking study described in this paper recruited 15 pedestrians and asked each to wear an instrumented wristband and GPS recorder on all walking trips for one week. Surprisingly, the findings from the study showed no correlation between participants’ stress levels and individual crossing locations. Instead, stress was associated with roadway conditions. Higher levels of stress were generally associated with walking in proximity to collector and arterial streets and in areas with industrial and mixed (e.g., offices, retail, residential) land uses. Stress levels were tempered in lower-density residential land uses, as well as in forest, park, and university campus environments. The outcomes from this study can inform how planners design urban environments that reduce pedestrian stress levels to promote walkability.

description: We examined US parent and youth perceptions of how life events, both positive and negative, associated with COVID-19 resulted in changes in family and youth functioning. Families (n = 105, 80% white, 48% male, and 87% mothers) completed surveys during the pandemic (May to July 2020) and 3 years prior (for youth ages M = 10.6, SD = 1.17 and M = 13.6, SD = 1.19). Declines in youth, though not parent, report of open family communication, parental support, and family satisfaction were found. Declines were associated with various domains of pandemic-related stress in parent report, though positive life events served as buffers. Pre-pandemic family functioning also predicted pandemic stress. Spillover effects in turn impacted youth functioning. The current findings shed light on how experiences of the pandemic are linked with family functioning and have implications for how to support families during this time.

description: The ability to receive electromagnetic waves reflected from meteor traces is the basis for the construction of meteor burst communication (MBC) systems. MBC has a low data rate (about a few dozen kilobits per second). Therefore, from the point of view of increasing the information transfer rate, we can use multi-frequency signals, for example, OFDM signals. These signals occupy a smaller frequency band, but have a high peak-to-average power ratio. In this article, we used simulation modeling to transmit information in an MBC system using multi-frequency signals under the condition of amplitude limitation on the transmitting module.
description: Возможность приема отраженных от метеорных следов электромагнитных колебаний лежит в основе построения систем метеорной связи. Метеорная радиосвязь имеет низкую скорость передачи данных (единицы-десятки бит в секунду). С точки зрения повышения скорости передачи информации мы можем использовать многочастотные сигналы, например, сигналы OFDM. Эти сигналы занимают меньшую полосу частот, но обладают высоким значением пик-фактора. Выполнено имитационное моделирование передачи информации в метеорном канале при использовании многочастотных сигналов при условии амплитудного ограничения на передающем модуле.
Imagination and Mediation
Creators: name: Sabolius, Kristupas
Publisher: name: Trópos
Year: 2016

description: The article addresses a problem of mediation through the lens of imagination. An idea of “intermedial imagination” — a critical faculty that bears witness to the world’s out–of–jointness” — proposed by Pietro Montani is analysed and brought in the context of Bernard Stiegler’, Gilles Deleuze’s and Jacques Derrida’s thinking. In this way, imagination is associated with various functions of montage, rather than synthesis, as well as revealed as the power of overcoming clichéd forms and fetishes through its shape–shifting and unprecedented transformations. The article also offers an analysis of exhibitions by Raimundas Malašauskas (Photo Finish in Vilnius, and the Lithuania/Cyprus “oO/Oo” Pavilion at the 55th Venice Biennale) and the avant–garde performances of Romeo Castellucci.

description: A key question of quantum optics is how nonclassical bi-photon correlations at low power evolve into classical coherence at high-power. Direct observation of the crossover from quantum to classical behavior is desirable, but difficult due to the lack of adequate experimental techniques that cover the ultra-wide dynamic range in photon flux from the single photon regime to the classical level. We investigate bi-photon correlations within the spectrum of light generated by broadband four-wave mixing (FWM) over a \emph{large dynamic range of $\sim80dB$ in photon flux} across the classical-to-quantum transition using a two-photon interference effect that distinguishes between classical and quantum behavior. We explore the quantum-classical nature of the light by observing the interference contrast dependence on internal loss and demonstrate quantum collapse and revival of the interference when the FWM gain in the fiber becomes imaginary.

description: The middle school transition year poses known challenges to early adolescent adjustment, particularly for students from ethnic and racial minoritized backgrounds who face ethnic and racial discrimination from school personnel and classmates. Drawing on a sample of 711 African American and Latinx sixth-grade students attending 17 schools, we employed latent class analysis and latent transition analysis to explore the nature of and changes to perceived ethnic and racial discrimination during the beginning and end of sixth grade. We also examined the possibility that perceived ethnic–racial discrimination could be diminished through a school-based, universal program for teachers to improve the school ecology. Findings revealed four distinct classes concerning perceived ethnic–racial discrimination, with patterns over time highlighting the malleability of perceived ethnic–racial discrimination during the first year of middle school. Findings provide direct implications for understanding and improving ethnic and racial minoritized students’ school experiences at the middle school transition.
Metafore della non–morte

description: The present essay wants to analyze the zombie as a metaphor. According to the author, the zombie is used to represent some topics that are particularly present inside some societies, but that cannot find expression in the usual ways those societies use to represent themselves: religion, rituals, politics or law. As a character that embodies marginalization, the zombie changes its features depending on the societies where it is “used” as means of expression. The present contribution analyzes the Haitian zombie as an expression of a society that supports slavery, the one represented in Romero‘s The Night of The Living Dead as the expression of a society that removes death from everyday life, up to the modern representations of the zombie (after 2002), describing them as the expression of an imagination that medicalizes society.

Etica del “memento mori” tra rappresentazioni ontologiche della morte terrore e terrorismo
Creators: name: Testoni, Ines
Publisher: name: Trópos
Year: 2016

description: Since the borders between natural life and death have been blurred by technique, in Western societies discussions and practices regarding death have become very significant. The studies in this area include all the most important topics of any psychological discipline. Indeed, research developed some important theories especially on death and dying, loss and grief, and terror of death. However, they latently adopt implicit basic ontological assumptions, which carry specific representations of death. As this theoretical condition causes many important effects in the clinical work, it is necessary to open a wider epistemological area of discussion on this issues between philosophy and psychology. The article highlights the importance of the Severino’s contribute in this new territory of studies.

description: The progress of medicine and biology offers us longevity and deludes us with the promise of immortality, thus rekindling an ancient dream. After illustrating how death is confronted, or not confronted, today, we analyze the perspectives offered by post–human technologies in view of immortality: hybridization with machines, transfer of the mind in computer progammes, merging or substitution of the human intelligence with the artificial intelligence. This is a surrogate and dislocated immortality, that favours the cognitive aspects and tends to neglect the ethical and social ones.

description: Bias-based aggression at school in the form of homophobic name-calling is quite prevalent among early adolescents. Homophobic name-calling is associated with low academic performance, higher risky sexual behaviors, and substance abuse, among other adverse outcomes. This longitudinal study examined risk and protective factors across multiple domains of the social ecology (individual, peer, family, school and community) and levels of analysis (within- and between-person) associated with homophobic name-calling perpetration and victimization. Students from four middle schools in the U.S. Midwest (N = 1,655; (Formula presented.) age = 12.75; range = 10–16 years) were surveyed four times (Spring/Fall 2008, Spring/Fall 2009). For homophobic name-calling perpetration, significant risk factors included impulsivity, social dominance, traditional masculinity, family violence, and neighborhood violence; while empathy, peer support, school belonging, and adult support were significant protective factors. For homophobic name-calling victimization, significant risk factors included empathy (between-person), impulsivity, traditional masculinity, family violence, and neighborhood violence, while empathy (within-person), parental monitoring, peer support, school belonging, and adult support were significant protective factors.
Killing Death/Sharing Life

Publisher: name: Trópos
Year: 2016

description: It has been claimed, most emphatically by transhumanists, that individual death is the greatest evil and that we therefore need to do everything we can to defeat the disease of human senescence and mortality. In other words, we need to kill death. I have argued elsewhere that we actually benefit from death and that death is, all things considered, not an evil at all. However, in this paper, I am not disputing the claim that death is an evil. Instead, I suggest that it can only be an evil for us if we understand our existence as separate from all other existence, which is by no means inevitable. The independent, autonomous self whose annihilation we fear is the product of a particular self–conception, a particular way of seeing ourselves in relation to others. There is an alternative. If we understand our own lives as prolonged and extended in the life that surrounds us, then our own individual death loses its significance. When life is shared and being understood as shared, then there is no need to kill death.

Digital Death

Year: 2016

description: Taking the cue from some reflections by Walter Benjamin and Eugéne Minkowski, the present paper wants to analyze the relationship between death and narration in the age of digital culture. In fact, the so–called “Digital Death” revolutionizes our bond with death, with the traditional thought of immortality and with the Geisterwelt. Once the author has defined the “Digital Death”, this paper firstly describes some current forms of digital communication (Eterni.me, Eter9) that try to get rid of death, impoverishing narrations and handed–down knowledge. Secondly, it describes other forms (Facebook and social networks in general) that, on the contrary, offer new resources through which we can enrich our memory of the dead, thus reinvigorating the role of death as an authority from which all narrated stories stem.

description: Watch the US Open live streams to see all the action from the year's final tennis Grand Slam Just when you thought the US Open couldn't possibly shock you any more than it already has, Nick Kyrgios and Matteo Berrettini crash out and Coco Gauff joins them. It's been an utterly bonkers tournament, so don't take anything for granted as Iga Swiatek, Carlos Alcaraz hit the court today. Read on to find out how to watch a 2022 US Open live stream from anywhere - including ways to watch the tennis absolutely FREE. Karolina Pliskova, who reached the US Open final six years ago, is first up on Arthur Ashe Stadium, where she takes on Belarusian No.6 seed Aryna Sabalenka. They're probably the two most physical players in the women's game right now, and Flushing Meadows is in for some show. The 2022 US Open live streams are underway, and we're now into the quarter-finals at the final Grand Slam of the year. Many of the big games will air for free on Australia's 9Now service, but don't worry if you're on holiday while it's on. In yesterday's action, Norway's Casper Ruud and Karen Khachanov both reached the semi-finals, with wins over Matteo Berrettini and Nick Kyrgios respectively. Ruud could become world no.1 if we reaches the final — although if he then loses to Carlos Alcarez then Alcarez would instead take over. In the women's singles, Caroline Garcia beat home favorite Cori Gauff by 2-0, while Tunisian fifth seed Ons Jabeur triumphed over Australia's Ajla Tomljanovic by the same score. There's sure to be plenty of excitement and intrigue throughout the remaining five days, so make sure you catch all the action by watching a US Open live stream. We'll show you how to do that below.

description: We study the fate of double-Weyl fermions in three-dimensional systems in the presence of long-range Coulomb interactions. By employing the momentum-shell renormalization group approach, we find that the fixed point of noninteracting double-Weyl fermions is unstable against Coulomb interactions and flows to a nontrivial stable fixed point with anisotropic screening effect. Moreover, experimentally measurable quantities such as specific heat obtain unusual logarithmic corrections. We also discuss implications of our results to three-dimensional materials HgCr2Se4 and SrSi2, candidate materials of hosting double-Weyl fermions.

description: Curricular tracking is common in many countries, yet this school practice might have unintended consequences for students’ attitudes toward school. We examined the changes in adolescents’ school belonging among sixth graders placed in honors versus regular math, with academic identity as a mediator in this relation. Early adolescents (N = 322; 72% White; 164 girls) in the southeastern United States completed measures of school belonging and academic identity at the beginning and end of their sixth-grade year. With parent education, prior math achievement, and prior school belonging controlled, honors math placement predicted increases in school belonging from the beginning to the end of students’ sixth-grade year, and this association was positively mediated by academic identity. Results of this study are important for further understanding the influences of tracking on students’ motivational beliefs.

Da una parte, si sofferma sul paradosso che concerne il morto, vale a dire l’incarnazione della presenza di un assente, in riferimento alla fotografia, alla Digital Death e alla figura metaforica dello zombie. Da un’altra, invece, si concentra sulle conseguenze sociali delle teorie immortaliste del transumanesimo e delle trasformazioni del “memento mori” all’interno del conflitto attuale tra culture differenti. L’obiettivo è un’ermeneutica del morire, capace di offrire ai Death Studies un contributo rilevante per comprendere come la nostra società stia mutando.

title: Variational integrators for the rotating shallow water equations
Creators: name: Brecht, Rüdiger
Publisher: name: Memorial University of Newfoundland
Year: 2021

description: The numerical simulation of the Earth’s atmosphere plays an important role in developing our understanding of climate change. The atmosphere and ocean can be seen as a shallow fluid on the globe; here, we use the shallow water equations as a first step to approximate these geophysical flows. Then, the numerical model can only be accurate if it has good conservation properties, e.g. without conserving mass the simulation can not be physical. Obtaining such a numerical model can be achieved using numerical variational integration. Here, we have derived a numerical variational integrator for the rotating shallow water equations on the sphere using the Euler–Poincaré framework. First, the continuous Lagrangian is discretized; then, the numerical scheme is obtained by computing the discrete variational principle. The conservational properties and accuracy of the model are verified with standard test cases. However, in order to obtain more realistic simulations, the shallow water equations need to include physical parametrizations. Thus, we introduce a new representation of the rotating shallow water equations based on a stochastic transport principle. Then, benchmarks are carried out to demonstrate that the spatial part of the stochastic scheme preserves the total energy. The proposed random model better captures the structure of a large-scale flow than a comparable deterministic model. Furthermore, to be able to carry out long term simulations we extend the discrete Euler–Poincaré framework with a selective decay. The selective decay dissipates an otherwise conserved quantity while conserving energy. We apply the new framework to the shallow water equations to dissipate the potential enstrophy. Then, we carry out standard benchmarks to demonstrate the conservation properties. We show that the selective decay resolves more small scales compared to a standard dissipation.

description: Background: Grieving adults raising parentally-bereaved minor children experience persistently elevated symptoms of depression and grief. However, the factors associated with their mental health outcomes are not well understood. Aim: To investigate the psychosocial and demographic characteristics associated with grief distress and depressive symptom severity in bereaved adults with minor children. Design: Cross-sectional, web-based survey. Setting/participants: Eight hundred forty-five bereaved adults raising minor (age <18 years) children who had experienced the death of a co-parent. Primary outcomes were grief distress (Prolonged Grief Disorder-13), depressive symptoms (Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System-Depression), and widowed parenting self-efficacy (WPSES). Results: Mean grief scores were 33.5; mean depression scores were 58.3. Among the 690 individuals more than 6 months bereaved, 132 (19.3%) met criteria for prolonged grief disorder. In adjusted models, participants reporting higher grief scores were more recently bereaved, identified as mothers, non-Caucasian, had lower education and income, and had not anticipated their co-parent’s death. The statistical modeling results for depression scores were similar to grief scores except that depression was not associated with anticipation of co-parent death. Parents reporting lower WPSES scores had higher grief and depression scores. Retrospective assessments of more intense parenting worries at the time of co-parent death were also associated with higher grief and depression scores. Conclusions: For bereaved adults with minor children, unanticipated co-parent death was linked with higher grief distress but not symptoms of depression. Addressing parenting concerns may represent a common pathway for improving the mental health of parentally-bereaved families.

description: Nursing professionals are the main actors who are on the front lines of the fight against this pandemic and have been heavily affected by the coronavirus. Studies reveal that nurses working to combat the COVID-19 pandemic have high levels of burnout. Nurses are exposed to stressors such as: risk of transmission, high demand for work often with double shifts, lack of PPE, low pay and professional recognition, exposure to pain and care for terminally ill patients increased the risk of developing mental disorders such as: anxiety , stress, depression including suicidal ideation. In this context, a worrying factor is the correlation between high levels of burnout and the quality of care and/or service provided, such as favoring human failures, lack of empathy with patients, lower productivity and higher turnover, including with regard to the interpersonal relationship between the multidisciplinary team.

description: Training machine learning models for classification tasks often requires labeling numerous samples, which is costly and time-consuming, especially in time series analysis. This research investigates Active Learning (AL) strategies to reduce the amount of labeled data needed for e↵ective time series classification. Traditional AL techniques cannot control the selection of instances per class for labeling, leading to potential bias in classification performance and instance selection, particularly in imbalanced time series datasets. To address this, we propose a novel class-balancing instance selection algorithm integrated with standard AL strategies. Our approach aims to select more instances from classes with fewer labeled examples, thereby addressing imbalance in time series datasets. We demonstrate the e↵ectiveness of our AL framework in selecting informative data samples for two distinct domains of tactile texture recognition and industrial fault detection. In robotics, our method achieves high-performance texture categorization while significantly reducing labeled training data requirements to 70%. We also evaluate the impact of di↵erent sliding window time intervals on robotic texture classification using AL strategies. In synthetic fiber manufacturing, we adapt AL techniques to address the challenge of fault classification, aiming to minimize data annotation cost and time for industries. We also address real-life class imbalances in the multiclass industrial anomalous dataset using our class-balancing instance algorithm integrated with AL strategies. Overall, this thesis highlights the potential of our AL framework across these two distinct domains.

description: In this paper, I discuss the question of the norm, conceived as a philosophical problem, rather than an ethical, political, or social one. Firstly, I outline the main declinations of the “critique of normative reason”, which has characterized most of the twentieth century’s philosophy and has pointed out the connection between norm and normalization. Secondly, I focus on the concept of “crisis” and its relationship with the problem of normativity; then I stress the ambiguity of every “state of crisis”, which could lead to claim that crisis is the most vital condition of life. Thirdly, I sketch two moments of Deleuze’s confrontation with the work of Canguilhem, in order to affirm that if we want to see the norm as a philosophical problem, we need to define some fundamental concepts as “becoming” and “relation” — that is, to understand the question of the surd or diagonal. Finally, my main thesis states that in this perspective we need not to consider one norm’s goodness or badness, but instead the transformative relation between different norms, that presides over the process of norm–shaping.

description: We study properties of a helimagnetic thin film with quantum Heisenberg spin model by using the Green's function method. Surface spin configuration is calculated by minimizing the spin interaction energy. It is shown that the angles between spins near the surface are strongly modified with respect to the bulk configuration. Taking into account this surface spin reconstruction, we calculate self-consistently the spin-wave spectrum and the layer magnetizations as functions of temperature up to the disordered phase. The spin-wave spectrum shows the existence of a surface-localized branch which causes a low surface magnetization. We show that quantum fluctuations give rise to a crossover between the surface magnetization and interior-layer magnetizations at low temperatures. We calculate the transition temperature and show that it depends strongly on the helical angle. Results are in agreement with existing experimental observations on the stability of helical structure in thin films and on the insensitivity of the transition temperature with the film thickness. We also study effects of various parameters such as surface exchange and anisotropy interactions. Monte Carlo simulations for the classical spin model are also carried out for comparison with the quantum theoretical result.

description: US manufacturing is struggling with both a productivity and job quality challenge. These challenges are interconnected, reinforcing the need for increased coordination of economic and workforce development efforts. This article outlines the evaluation findings of a novel business-facing initiative called the Genesis Movement, to understand its role in reshaping the workforce experience within small- and medium-sized manufacturing businesses in Chicago, Illinois. Spearheaded in 2014 by the Illinois Manufacturing Excellence Center (IMEC), Genesis starts with the premise that workforce practices are central to business operations, productivity, and competitiveness—and therefore, manufacturing extension services need to promote improvements to job quality in support of long-term business success. This integrated approach represents a form of “inclusive innovation,” expanding the capacities of firms and workers to adapt in a competitive environment where pressures to maintain high quality while reducing costs are ever-present. Firms that participate in Genesis learn to adopt an inclusive organizational culture, using front-line worker engagement, skills training, and job quality improvements to drive performance and process innovation. As such, Genesis offers transferable lessons that could be leveraged by other manufacturing-supporting organizations to benefit their industry clients and the workers they employ.

description: Introduction : Les mineurs non accompagnés (MNA) vivent des traumatismes lors de leur parcours migratoire. Ces traumatismes ne sont pas pris en charge par un protocole unifié au niveau du système de santé Suisse et cette problématique n’est pas incluse dans le cursus de soins infirmiers. Les violences sexuelles, incluant d’autres populations, ne sont également que très peu traitées par les professionnels, faute d’informations, de formation et par le tabou que la société a créé. Cette revue de littérature a pour but de présenter les interventions de prises en charge de santé mentale et physique mises en place par les professionnels à l’international et de questionner la transférabilité de ces interventions au contexte de soin suisse. Méthode : Les bases de données CINAHL et PubMed ont été explorées. La recherche de de littérature a été réalisée grâce à l’établissement d’une stratégie de recherche avec des critères d’inclusion et d’exclusion. Six articles ont été sélectionnés dont deux qualitatifs, trois quantitatifs et un mixte. Résultats : Trois thèmes principaux ont été relevés : les conditions environnementales des mineurs non accompagnés, les facteurs culturels et la langue parlée ainsi que les traitements. L’environnement dans lequel évolue les MNA impacte énormément le développement de leur santé tant somatique que psychique. De même, les facteurs culturels peuvent représenter des facteurs entravant à leur bien-être. Les thérapies sont abordées dans les articles en explorant leurs bénéfices ou non sur les MNA. Discussion : En minimisant les facteurs entravant le bien être des MNA, une stabilité de santé mentale et physique peut être atteinte. Ces constatations sont corroborées par les résultats trouvés en travaillant sur les stresseurs et leurs influences sur le MNA.

Morte e rinascita della metafora

description: The “metaphorical revival” is one of the most relevant turning points in contemporary debate, both in the analytical philosophy and in the continental thought. From Friedrich Nietzsche’s motto on the metaphorical structure of truth, to the neuroscience inquiries language and cognition, the figurative language questions philosophy far beyond its rhetorical implications. The present paper aims at retracing aspects of the philosophical relevance of metaphor before the 20th–century turn, particularly in Giambattista Vico. The second part of the essay shows the legacy of Vico’s seminal approach in the metaphorical revival itself, in a close confrontation with Hans Blumenberg work.

description: This paper considers a position control system of a 3-link robot manipulator. The authors reviewed publications on nonlinear compensation of dynamic errors with the use of neural networks in robot manipulator control systems. The paper presents mathematical description of the control system with the compensation of nonlinear dynamics of the robot mechanism. We carried out training of multivariable neural network compensators of dynamic errors occurring because of the influence of inertia, Coriolis and gravity load torques. We developed computer models of the control system with different types of neural network compensators which are included in feedforward and feedback of the system and carried out a computer simulation of control systems with prototype and different kinds of neural network compensators. We also conducted a comparative analysis of dynamic errors in the system with different combinations of neural network compensators and gave recommendations on program realization of neural network compensators for real robot manipulator position control systems.

Il desiderio dell’immagine

description: Western philosophy has always posed the question about which would be the best way to communicate reality. The problem is not only to understand it, but also to find the right tool to make it more approachable. It must not be forgotten that before the word entered in use there was the language of vision. It is upon this philosophical reflection that Maurice Blanchot focuses its aesthetic thought. His reflection upon the subject issue of writing cannot leave unquestioned its antecedent: the image. The image, which gives the object meaning in order to fulfil its path of existence and hence culminating in the inevitable event of death. The death of the image as a necessary exchange in order to give life to writing. Man turning towards the understanding of the world into which he intends to live, manifested while a desire for completeness and a disaster of awareness. Same root; oriented towards heaven and destined to appear alone on the horizon.

Creative extraction: Black towns in white space
Creators: name: Purifoy, D.M.

Publisher: name: SAGE Publications Ltd
Year: 2021

description: This article interrogates the “anomalous” case of Black-founded towns, so-called because of their relative absence from discourse on Black place, their unique struggles for self-determined development, and their externally ascribed narratives of absent or dysfunctional governance, frequently invoked to explain their lack of access to basic infrastructure. We propose illuminating some of these so-called anomalies through Charles Mills’ “racial contract,” which we argue structures space at a deeper level than traditional legal arrangements and allows us to look relationally at Black towns in “white space.” We also rely on Cedric Robinson’s “racial capitalism” to demonstrate how white space develops through extraction of value from places racialized as nonwhite. Through the case of Tamina, Texas, we argue that Black towns specifically, and Black places more generally, experience racially predatory governance and resource extraction, often by nearby white places, under the guise of following mundane rules of legal jurisdiction, standard economic planning, and development. To illustrate this, we focus on three overlapping mechanisms of “creative extraction” that reinforce white spatial, political, and economic power at the expense of Black places: theft, erosion, and exclusion. These mechanisms are tied to the environmental harms inflicted on Black towns, as some of the existential threats they face.
