Not just old and sick - the 'will to health' in later life

The end of the ‘Golden Age’ of welfare capitalism in the 1970s was the prelude to a period of greater individualisation within societies and was accompanied by an increase in the importance of consumption as a way of organising social relations. During the same period there was also an expansion in the discourses aimed at enhancing the government of the autonomous self. One such discourse operates around what has been termed the ‘will to health’: it suggests that health has become a required goal for individual behaviour and has become synonymous with health itself. The generational groups whose lifecourses were most exposed to these changes are now approaching later life. We explore the extent to which social transformations related to risk, consumption and individualisation are reflected in the construction of later-life identities around health and ageing. We examine how the growth in health-related ‘technologies of the self’ have fostered a distinction between natural and normal ageing, wherein the former is associated with coming to terms with physical decline and the latter associated with maintaining norms of self-care aimed at delaying such decline. Finally, we consider anti-ageing medicine as a developing arena for the construction of later-life identities and discuss the implications of the social changes for researching later life

3D FEM Modeling of the Coil Ends of the LHC Main Dipole

A 3D finite element mechanical model has been developed to simulate the complex geometry of the extremities of the coils for the LHC main dipoles. The final aim is to evaluate the possible impact of coil defects on quench performances. In this paper we describe the first part of the work that has been carried out. This covers an analysis of the contribution of the mechanical properties of the different materials to the rigidity of the coil heads and the experimental validation of the model. For such validation we compared the computed stiffness with the values observed during production measurements in industry. The numerical results are in good agreement with the measured; some discrepancies in the intermediate zone of the end point out also in which direction the modeling should be refined

The downward influence of stratospheric sudden warmings

Abstract The coupling between the stratosphere and the troposphere following two major stratospheric sudden warmings is studied in the Canadian Middle Atmosphere Model using a nudging technique by which the zonal-mean evolution of the reference sudden warmings are artificially induced in an ~100-member ensemble spun off from a control simulation. Both reference warmings are taken from a freely running integration of the model. One event is a displacement, the other is a split, and both are followed by extended recoveries in the lower stratosphere. The methodology permits a statistically robust study of their influence on the troposphere below. The nudged ensembles exhibit a tropospheric annular mode response closely analogous to that seen in observations, confirming the downward influence of sudden warmings on the troposphere in a comprehensive model. This tropospheric response coincides more closely with the lower-stratospheric annular mode anomalies than with the midstratospheric wind reversal. In addition to the expected synoptic-scale eddy feedback, the planetary-scale eddies also reinforce the tropospheric wind changes, apparently responding directly to the stratospheric anomalies. Furthermore, despite the zonal symmetry of the stratospheric perturbation, a highly zonally asymmetric near-surface response is produced, corresponding to a strongly negative phase of the North Atlantic Oscillation with a much weaker response over the Pacific basin that matches composites of sudden warmings from the Interim ECMWF Re-Analysis (ERA-Interim). Phase 5 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project models exhibit a similar response, though in most models the response’s magnitude is underrepresented.PH acknowledges support from ERC project no 267760 - ACCI and an NSERC Postdoctoral Fellowship.

Dasar-Dasar Program Perencanaan Dan Perancangan Arsitektur (DP3A) Penataan Banaran Sebagai Desa Kerajinan Kayu Penekanan Pada Wisata Kreatif Dan Pembangunan Berkelanjutan

Penataan desa adalah sebuah proses, cara, perbuatan menata, pengaturan, penyusunan sebuah desa untuk tujuan yang ingin dicapai dari sebuah penataan yang akan dilakukan. Desa Banaran atau tepatnya dukuh Rambat adalah sebuah kawasan pedesaan yang berada di kecamatan kalijambe yang kawasan ini adalah bagian dari Kabupaten Sragen. Desa banaran atau tepatnya berada di dukuh rambat berada di kecamatan kalijambe yang berjarak 0,5 KM dari pusat kecamatan Kalijambe. Dukuh rambat merupakan dukuh yang termasuk dari desa banaran yang berdekatan dengan Desa sebelah. Di dukuh rambat ini 80% masyarakat mengantung hidupnya pada kerajinan kayu. Pada awal penyebarannya dukuh rambat sebenarnya sudah baik dalam menata kawasan tersebut hal ini dapat dilihat dari beberapa bangunan penting yang ada di kawasan dukuh rambat saling berdekatan. Tetapi dalam perkembangannya setelah dimasuki oleh masyarakat dengan membawa pekerjaannya masing-masing dukuh ini tidak terlihat penataan yang jelas dalam kawasan ini. Selain itu dampak dari tidak teraturnya kawasan ini menyebabkan beberapa efek lain yaitu kawasan terlihat gersang. Sehingga mendorong paneliti untuk menata kawasan ini menjadi lebih baik. 18 Oleh sebab itu, perlu adanya penataan kemali yang menekankan pada wisata kreatif dan pembangunan berkelanjutan yang harus dilakukan pada area dukuh rambat untuk mendapatkan kawasan yang baik dan asri yang mampu mendukung kegiatan masyarakat dan mengembangkan ekonomi masyarakat di kawasan tersebut

Pusat Edukasi dan Terapi Bagi Tunadaksa yang Rekreatif dengan Pendekatan Green Architecture di Karanganyar

Education and Therapy Center for the recreational Quadriplegic with the approach Green Architecture is an extraordinary educational center and a therapy for quadriplegic which create happy nuanced situation when learning or therapy that makes a person feel engrossed at the time but still educated, conducted outdoor and indoors. Besides, education and therapy center is supported by design approach "Green Architecture" which is an environmentally friendly building so as to create a healthy lifestyle for its users as well as produce a natural feel to the building, so the design of this educational center looks different from the design of Extraordinary School (SLB ) in general, and can give good influence for its psychological users. The background of this project is the Law Decree No. 20 of 2003 concerning the right of every citizen to obtain a good education as well as the normal people who have disabilities. In addition, the unavailability of Special Schools of Quadriplegic in Karanganyar also be a background design. As well as the need to recreational design and Green Architecture approach in order to create buildings that fun and friendly environment. The concept of this design is the study of form. The form used for this design is square and curved. Square shape will be applied to the education building combined with vertical ornaments that reinforce that the building is formal. As for the therapy building will be made of a combination among a square shape and curvature. The building is made curved in order to highlighting the recreational concept that gives the impression of a cheerful to every user who comes. Additionally, it will be added horizontal ornament on display which gives the impression of a quiet building. The use of vertical-shaped ornament on the building therapy avoided in order not to give the impression of a serious and formal, so that patients who want to therapy feel relaxed and comfortable when coming to visit.
