A multi-criteria approach to building resilient neighborhoods through green space investments in Sacramento
The consequences of climate change and urbanization have increased heat, air pollution, and flood risks in urban areas. Green spaces—parks, trees, trails, and gardens—are multifunctional solutions that help communities adapt to these various climate vulnerabilities, promoting urban resiliency through the socio-ecological service they provide. Yet, low-income communities and neighborhoods of color are often deprived of these services. As a result, this study utilizes a multi-criteria analysis to assess a variety of social, climate, and green space indicators in North and South Sacramento, two racially diverse and historically marginalized communities, to recommend more robust green space implementation strategies. Priority areas are identified along the northeastern and eastern edge of North Sacramento and within the central area and eastern boundary of South Sacramento, concluding that both communities could benefit from the additional park and tree investments to meet the area\u27s unique climate needs. Recommendations to maximize green space benefits include: 1) considering multifunctionality in all green space implementation projects 2) further assessing priority areas to identify appropriate locations for future green spaces 3) effectively and equitably engaging with community stakeholders 4) utilizing GIS to better integrate both social equity and climate data 5) consider environmental justice concerns and basic needs of the communities 6) designing green spaces to meet the unique climate and social needs of the areas. These recommendations will serve as a model to direct City of Sacramento decision-makers and planners to consider social and ecological variables in future green space projects in North and South Sacramento

The Evolution of OSI Network Management by Integrated the Expert Knowledge
The management of modern telecommunications networks must satisfy
ever-increasing operational demands. Operation and quality service requirements
imposed by the users are also an important aspect to consider. In
this paper we have carried out a study for the improvement of intelligent administration
techniques in telecommunications networks. This task is achieved
by integrating knowledge base of expert system within the management information
used to manage a network. For this purpose, an extension of OSI management
framework specifications language has been added and investigated
in this study. A new property named RULE has also been added, which gathers
important aspects of the facts and the knowledge base of the embedded
expert system. Networks can be managed easily by using this proposed integration
The Teaching of English Vocabulary through the Multisensory Approach to Older Adults in a Private Nursing Home in Pereira, Colombia
El siguiente documento es un proyecto de investigación cualitativo cuyo objetivo es integrar la teorÃa andragógica y el enfoque multisensorial para facilitar el aprendizaje de vocabulario en inglés a adultos mayores. Adicionalmente, este estudio es una iniciativa para incluir a los adultos mayores en un proceso de educación bilingüe ya que esta población casi no ha sido tomada en cuenta para la realización de proyectos bilingües. Por esta razón, este proyecto propone nuevas oportunidades para futuras investigaciones El presente estudio fue implementado en el hogar del anciano Casa Santa MarÃa en Pereira, Colombia. Este proyecto fue llevado a cabo en 10 clases en las cuales las participantes aprendieron 47 palabras relacionadas con su contexto inmediato. Las participantes del proyecto fueron cuatro mujeres, quienes tenÃan más de 60 años de edad. Las cuatro fueron consideradas como un proceso de muestreo tÃpico intencional para recopilar los datos, los cuales fueron interpretados por los investigadores. Además, durante la implementación del estudio, tres métodos de recolección de datos fueron empleados: observaciones, diarios de campo, y entrevistas. Los datos recogidos fueron analizados aplicando la teorÃa fundada, y después de este análisis los datos sugirieron que a) las estrategias de aprendizaje autodirigido pueden facilitar el éxito del aprendizaje de vocabulario y b) los sentidos de los adultos mayores tienen diferentes usos dependiendo de la etapa de la clase. Para concluir, el enfoque multisensorial es efectivo para enseñar vocabulario en inglés a adultos mayores junto con los principios andragógicos
How Does Positive Work-Related Stress Affect the Degree of Innovation Development?
Many studies sustain that work-related stress exerts pervasive consequences on the employees’ levels of performance, productivity, and wellbeing. However, it remains unclear whether certain levels of stress might lead to positive outcomes regarding employees’ innovativeness. Hence, this paper examines how the five dimensions of work-related stress impact on the employees’ levels of innovation performance. To this aim, this study focused on a sample of 1487 employees from six Italian companies. To test the research hypotheses under assessment, we relied on the use of the partial least squares (PLS) technique. Our results reveal that, in summary, the stressors job autonomy, job demands, and role ambiguity exert a positive and significant impact on the employees’ levels of innovativeness. However, this study failed to find evidence that the supervisors’ support–innovation and colleagues’ support–innovation links are not statistically significant. View Full-Tex
