Universal Design of Transportation Systems: A Case Study of Access and Mobility of People with Disabilities at Selected Intersections in Dar es Salaam

The pedestrian facilities at intersections must be usable by pedestrians of all ages and capabilities. Intersections in particular must be designed to safely accommodate pedestrians of all ages and physical and mental abilities. Often, however, intersection designs fail to accommodate people with visual and mobility disabilities. In this regard, forpedestrians with disabilities, intersections can prove to be a challenge. Some of those challenges include provision of insufficient pedestrian clearance time due to use of inappropriate design pedestrian speed. Most importantly, the required facilities to enable People With Disabilities (PWD) to use the intersection without hindrance may be missing.Obstacles such as uneven surfaces, unstable surfaces, nonexistent curb ramps, road crossings, changes in height of sidewalks, nonexistent guidance systems, obstructions, vegetation overhanging sidewalks, poles in the sidewalk, holes, etc. can all be remedied. This paper presents the results of the study which was carried out in Dar es Salaam toevaluate the extent to which the design of intersections satisfies the mobility and access needs of people with disabilities. The results indicate that the design of 20 major intersections in Dar es Salaam, mostly does not pay due attention to the needs of PWD

Humanist Education: Its Implementation on Scavengers Children’s at TPA Mancani Palopo City

This study aims to determine the models and constraints of humanistic education carried out by educators for the child scavengers in the garbage dumps in Palopo City. This research is qualitative research for disclosing facts—Miles and Huberman's analysis using data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion. The results showed that: Education of scavenger children at TPA Mancani, Palopo City is more directed to public and religious educational institutions outside the garbage dumps area, educational guidance on Sundays at church for those who are Christian while those who are Muslim get an education at the Al-Qur'an Education Park (TPQ); humanist education is developing in Sunday schools with the concept of primary religious education, regular discussions, counseling, the formation of work and study groups with materials consisting of: beliefs, politeness/ethics, and memorizing verses. The methods used include: exemplary and discipline, habituation, advice and guidance, deliberation and discussion, stories or stories, as well as balancing the giving of praise and punishment; The obstacles faced in implementing humanist education for child scavengers at TPA Mancani Palopo City include; the recruitment as fostered children in Sunday School, the lack of support from parents, child scavengers feel that their freedom is losing after entering school, and not guarantee their worthiness of life. Another obstacle is the limited number of assistants of child scavengers, limited facilities, infrastructure, funds, and the character traits of scavenger children that are difficult to change

Application of Microcanonical Temperature to the Spin Crossover of Fe-co Compounds

Using the Rugh's microcanonical approach to temperature we study the classical model of three dimensional spin-crossover of Fe-Co compounds. These compounds are characterized by magnetic ions that can be in a high-spin or low-spin state. We consider the case of diamagnetic low-spin state. The values of the magnetization average, and fraction of high-spin/low-spin are studied over a wide range of values for the system size, temperature, magnetic field, energy difference, nearest neighbor coupling and exchange interaction. We also address the metastability according to the relative values of interaction parameters and the phase diagram of the model. Keywords: phase transition, dynamical temperature, spin crossove

Effects of Ti Addition on the Dielectrical Properties of a New Austenite Alloy

EFFECTS OF Ti ADDITION ON THE DIELECTRICAL PROPERTIES OF A NEW AUSTENITE ALLOY. Preparation of alloys has been carried out leading to a new type of austenite alloys designated A-1 with a composition of Fe 52.22 wt%, Ni 24.2 wt%, Cr 20.0 wt%, Si 1.0 wt%, Mn 2.0 wt%, C 0.08 wt% and Ti 0.5 wt%. The main difference compared to commercial alloys (e.g. A347) is that Ti is added as an alloying element, but no P and S. The frequency-dependent conductivity and dielectric response of this novel material have been investigated by RLC bridge impedance spectroscopy method. It was verified that the real dielectric constant κ' of these newA-1materials showawell defined dielectric behavior and shows a considerable improvement over the commercial A-347 alloywith similar composition. Both dielectric response and dielectric loss curves show frequency dispersive relaxation peaks, indicating different conduction process in the surface and in the bulk of the materials. Therefore the substitution of P and S with Ti resulting in a new austenite with different dielectric properties. These improved dielectric properties should make this new material a good candidate for use as electrical connector, but with a reduced corrosion, so the lifetime or duration of application could be extended
