Healthy City works with community-based organizations to apply Community Based Participatory Action Research (CBPAR) in their mapping and community-engagement work. CBPAR starts with issues and strategies to produce analysis, uses mapping technology as one tool for community engagement and focuses on communities within a geographic location, such as a neighborhood. Using CPBAR in mapping facilitates engagement, education, strategizing, and dialogue among community members--including youth--and decision-makers.
Including young people in map making allows them to contribute their unique knowledge and lived experiences as community residents. Youth can provide invaluable insight and can act as change agents advocating on behalf of their communities. Whether you are a Youth Organizer, Community Liaison or Direct Service Provider, there are a number of ways you can incorporate and share youth data and stories using a variety of free resources and tools available on HealthyCity.org to build community power.
In this webinar you will learn how to:
1) Research and map youth population data to enhance program focus and planning on healthycity.org
2) Upload your own data onto a map

This document summarizes research from The Spirit Level by Richard Wilkinson and Kate Pickett showing that health and social problems are worse in countries and within countries with larger income gaps between rich and poor. It presents data across countries and US states demonstrating that life expectancy, infant mortality, homicide, imprisonment, obesity, mental illness, and other issues correlate more strongly with income inequality than average national income. The research suggests that greater inequality is associated with increased status competition, stress, and erosion of social cohesion, which in turn impact health and well-being.

Photometric and spectroscopic followup with NIRCam and NIRSpec, respectively, confirm the redshift and yield UV-NIR light-curve, NIR color, and spectroscopic information all consistent with a Type Ia classification. Despite its classification as a likely SN Ia, SN 2023adsy is both fairly red (

Microbial interaction
Microorganisms interacts with each other and can be physically associated with another organisms in a variety of ways.
One organism can be located on the surface of another organism as an ectobiont or located within another organism as endobiont.
Microbial interaction may be positive such as mutualism, proto-cooperation, commensalism or may be negative such as parasitism, predation or competition
Types of microbial interaction
Positive interaction: mutualism, proto-cooperation, commensalism
Negative interaction: Ammensalism (antagonism), parasitism, predation, competition
I. Mutualism:
It is defined as the relationship in which each organism in interaction gets benefits from association. It is an obligatory relationship in which mutualist and host are metabolically dependent on each other.
Mutualistic relationship is very specific where one member of association cannot be replaced by another species.
Mutualism require close physical contact between interacting organisms.
Relationship of mutualism allows organisms to exist in habitat that could not occupied by either species alone.
Mutualistic relationship between organisms allows them to act as a single organism.
Examples of mutualism:
i. Lichens:
Lichens are excellent example of mutualism.
They are the association of specific fungi and certain genus of algae. In lichen, fungal partner is called mycobiont and algal partner is called
II. Syntrophism:
It is an association in which the growth of one organism either depends on or improved by the substrate provided by another organism.
In syntrophism both organism in association gets benefits.
Compound A
Utilized by population 1
Compound B
Utilized by population 2
Compound C
utilized by both Population 1+2
Products
In this theoretical example of syntrophism, population 1 is able to utilize and metabolize compound A, forming compound B but cannot metabolize beyond compound B without co-operation of population 2. Population 2is unable to utilize compound A but it can metabolize compound B forming compound C. Then both population 1 and 2 are able to carry out metabolic reaction which leads to formation of end product that neither population could produce alone.
Examples of syntrophism:
i. Methanogenic ecosystem in sludge digester
Methane produced by methanogenic bacteria depends upon interspecies hydrogen transfer by other fermentative bacteria.
Anaerobic fermentative bacteria generate CO2 and H2 utilizing carbohydrates which is then utilized by methanogenic bacteria (Methanobacter) to produce methane.
ii. Lactobacillus arobinosus and Enterococcus faecalis:
In the minimal media, Lactobacillus arobinosus and Enterococcus faecalis are able to grow together but not alone.
The synergistic relationship between E. faecalis and L. arobinosus occurs in which E. faecalis require folic acid
Anti-Universe And Emergent Gravity and the Dark UniverseSérgio Sacani
Recent theoretical progress indicates that spacetime and gravity emerge together from the entanglement structure of an underlying microscopic theory. These ideas are best understood in Anti-de Sitter space, where they rely on the area law for entanglement entropy. The extension to de Sitter space requires taking into account the entropy and temperature associated with the cosmological horizon. Using insights from string theory, black hole physics and quantum information theory we argue that the positive dark energy leads to a thermal volume law contribution to the entropy that overtakes the area law precisely at the cosmological horizon. Due to the competition between area and volume law entanglement the microscopic de Sitter states do not thermalise at sub-Hubble scales: they exhibit memory effects in the form of an entropy displacement caused by matter. The emergent laws of gravity contain an additional ‘dark’ gravitational force describing the ‘elastic’ response due to the entropy displacement. We derive an estimate of the strength of this extra force in terms of the baryonic mass, Newton’s constant and the Hubble acceleration scale a0 = cH0, and provide evidence for the fact that this additional ‘dark gravity force’ explains the observed phenomena in galaxies and clusters currently attributed to dark matter.
Signatures of wave erosion in Titan’s coastsSérgio Sacani
The shorelines of Titan’s hydrocarbon seas trace flooded erosional landforms such as river valleys; however, it isunclear whether coastal erosion has subsequently altered these shorelines. Spacecraft observations and theo-retical models suggest that wind may cause waves to form on Titan’s seas, potentially driving coastal erosion,but the observational evidence of waves is indirect, and the processes affecting shoreline evolution on Titanremain unknown. No widely accepted framework exists for using shoreline morphology to quantitatively dis-cern coastal erosion mechanisms, even on Earth, where the dominant mechanisms are known. We combinelandscape evolution models with measurements of shoreline shape on Earth to characterize how differentcoastal erosion mechanisms affect shoreline morphology. Applying this framework to Titan, we find that theshorelines of Titan’s seas are most consistent with flooded landscapes that subsequently have been eroded bywaves, rather than a uniform erosional process or no coastal erosion, particularly if wave growth saturates atfetch lengths of tens of kilometers.

Describing and Interpreting an Immersive Learning Case with the Immersion Cub...Leonel Morgado
Current descriptions of immersive learning cases are often difficult or impossible to compare. This is due to a myriad of different options on what details to include, which aspects are relevant, and on the descriptive approaches employed. Also, these aspects often combine very specific details with more general guidelines or indicate intents and rationales without clarifying their implementation. In this paper we provide a method to describe immersive learning cases that is structured to enable comparisons, yet flexible enough to allow researchers and practitioners to decide which aspects to include. This method leverages a taxonomy that classifies educational aspects at three levels (uses, practices, and strategies) and then utilizes two frameworks, the Immersive Learning Brain and the Immersion Cube, to enable a structured description and interpretation of immersive learning cases. The method is then demonstrated on a published immersive learning case on training for wind turbine maintenance using virtual reality. Applying the method results in a structured artifact, the Immersive Learning Case Sheet, that tags the case with its proximal uses, practices, and strategies, and refines the free text case description to ensure that matching details are included. This contribution is thus a case description method in support of future comparative research of immersive learning cases. We then discuss how the resulting description and interpretation can be leveraged to change immersion learning cases, by enriching them (considering low-effort changes or additions) or innovating (exploring more challenging avenues of transformation). The method holds significant promise to support better-grounded research in immersive learning.

SDSS1335+0728: The awakening of a ∼ 106M⊙ black hole⋆Sérgio Sacani
Context. The early-type galaxy SDSS J133519.91+072807.4 (hereafter SDSS1335+0728), which had exhibited no prior optical variations during the preceding two decades, began showing significant nuclear variability in the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) alert stream from December 2019 (as ZTF19acnskyy). This variability behaviour, coupled with the host-galaxy properties, suggests that SDSS1335+0728 hosts a ∼ 106M⊙ black hole (BH) that is currently in the process of ‘turning on’. Aims. We present a multi-wavelength photometric analysis and spectroscopic follow-up performed with the aim of better understanding the origin of the nuclear variations detected in SDSS1335+0728. Methods. We used archival photometry (from WISE, 2MASS, SDSS, GALEX, eROSITA) and spectroscopic data (from SDSS and LAMOST) to study the state of SDSS1335+0728 prior to December 2019, and new observations from Swift, SOAR/Goodman, VLT/X-shooter, and Keck/LRIS taken after its turn-on to characterise its current state. We analysed the variability of SDSS1335+0728 in the X-ray/UV/optical/mid-infrared range, modelled its spectral energy distribution prior to and after December 2019, and studied the evolution of its UV/optical spectra. Results. From our multi-wavelength photometric analysis, we find that: (a) since 2021, the UV flux (from Swift/UVOT observations) is four times brighter than the flux reported by GALEX in 2004; (b) since June 2022, the mid-infrared flux has risen more than two times, and the W1−W2 WISE colour has become redder; and (c) since February 2024, the source has begun showing X-ray emission. From our spectroscopic follow-up, we see that (i) the narrow emission line ratios are now consistent with a more energetic ionising continuum; (ii) broad emission lines are not detected; and (iii) the [OIII] line increased its flux ∼ 3.6 years after the first ZTF alert, which implies a relatively compact narrow-line-emitting region. Conclusions. We conclude that the variations observed in SDSS1335+0728 could be either explained by a ∼ 106M⊙ AGN that is just turning on or by an exotic tidal disruption event (TDE). If the former is true, SDSS1335+0728 is one of the strongest cases of an AGNobserved in the process of activating. If the latter were found to be the case, it would correspond to the longest and faintest TDE ever observed (or another class of still unknown nuclear transient). Future observations of SDSS1335+0728 are crucial to further understand its behaviour. Key words. galaxies: active– accretion, accretion discs– galaxies: individual: SDSS J133519.91+072807.4

Pale Blue Dot
Known as the "Pale Blue Dot" photo, the original
image showed Earth as a tiny speck within a band of
brightness caused by sunlight striking the
spacecraft's instrument. The photograph was the
result of a campaign led by scientist Carl Sagan to
convince NASA to turn Voyager 1 around and
take a photo of the planet where its story began.
Just 34 minutes later, according to NASA, the
spacecraft's camera shut down so the probe could
save power.

Reflections: Science over politics in fighting this coronavirus.
German approach: “buying time by spending a lot of money".
Flatten the curve fast to avoid collapsing the health system.
A call to a mature democratic society, which values freedom and trusts the State: Confinement laid on individual
responsibility, clear rules and controls were implemented.
Main strategy was to send clear official messages massively with great transparency from scientific agencies to
control panic, counteract fake news, and build trust in the government.
Solid German health system: compulsory medical insurance; most intensive care beds in the EU; strong pillar for
population’s health and well-being. Multilingual health hotlines are available with official translators if needed.
Scientists have high credibility: The Robert Koch Institute leads communications daily
Aid to businesses of all sizes including freelancers with emphasis on culture and arts. The largest and fastest relief
package in post-war history.
Merkel's speech was key in reassuring people: "this is the biggest challenge since the end of the 2nd war".
This is not only a health crisis, but an economic one. Can’t suggest staying home without offering economic aid.
Standing up for science! Scientific community is called to communicate data and models for decision-making. - -
Dilemma: Some governments downplayed the pandemic remaining inoperative; thousands suffered or died.
Other governments took harsh measures despite criticism. Germany: Better to overstate than staying inoperative!
If it's about money: Effects of pandemics can be more expensive than shutdowns!

healthcare stakeholders to understand, prepare, respond, and recover from the impacts of disasters. Architects
and the response supply chain are informed about specific location, needs, and requirements to deploy solutions
that attend the emergency while protecting hospital resources and capacity.
Tailor integrated care facilities for each community. Most health providers (offices) don’t deliver coordinated care
despite the multiple connected health technologies available. This lack of integration generates a fragmented
medical landscape of economic waste and poor quality of care where patients suffer multiple trips, accumulative
waiting times, information loss or duplicity, etc. and end up in hospitals. Diseases should be contained and tackled
locally, in one place, with a holistic care approach and using telediagnostics of large hospitals when needed.
Retrofit streets for voluntary social distancing, no more lockdowns! Streets and other public spaces must be
designed for inclusion especially of slow groups (elderly, children, and people with disabilities). Ensure: (i) space
allocation (sufficient path width); (ii) connectivity, continuously paved pedestrian networks to services and
facilities; (iii) quality walking experience (factors and variables for pedestrian safeness, comfort, and satisfaction).

Preparedness measures were implemented. These include: assessment of PPE availability and Covid19 tests
capabilities. The first case occurred in Bavaria on 27 January and an around week later initiated local transmission
of the virus.
The response phase was characterized by social distancing and movement restrictions (i.e., at neighborhood, city,
intercity, regional, and Intl. levels). Some cities, like Berlin, never reached a lockdown situation, but strict
measures were imposed over shops, restaurants, and events, while strong recommendations were given to the
population, including: stay at home, go out only when is necessary, 2 meters distance between people, not more
than 2 persons in public spaces –only family groups when these living under the same roof–, among others.
The Rehabilitation phase started by the end of April. Still running, it encompasses a slow but progressive
(sometimes named de-escalated) return to a new normality. On May 4 in Berlin, educational centres resumed
their activities but with strict measures such as only 15 students per classroom and distanced by 2 meters
between tables –this implied that not all courses and ages were allowed to return at the same time. Likewise,
urban mobility measures include mandatory use of masks in public transport and supermarkets.

German government established a Task-Force in early January to watch the
ongoing epidemic/pandemic situation in China, and concluded that Germany would be hardly affected.

Reflections: “Sustainable Development Strategy
in battling the Coronavirus”
(i) Public responsive and consensual actions
Public budget: 1 543 Mrd. € Incoming / 1497 Mrd. € Funding (2019)
v/s 7.5 percent of GDP (approx. 150-260 billion euros with
one month shutdown (2020)
(ii) Risk-Adapted Strategy gradual transition to a risk-based strategy → Corona Task Force (CTF)
Multiscalar. Nationwide as well as regional opportunities and threats. CTF consists of national task force, based at
federal government and regional structures with its levels in close contact. Purpose: collect relevant information
required to flexibilize controls in individual steps and tasks
Process based. Differentiated step-by-step plan to design, prepare and initiate targeted adjustments to concrete
measure packages differed by regions, groups of people, areas of social life and economic sectors
Multi-actors approach (inter- and transdisciplinary). Experts for various objectives work together with
representatives of societal group to prepare the political decision-making process and to accompany and
communicate the implementation of these decisions
Interdisciplinary knowledge production. Essential to provide recommendations on governance models,
instruments to impacts sectoral integration since Coronavirus is is a cross-cutting issue that calls for an intensive
coordination of different actors and administrative as well as private sectors, public actions and the availability of
financial resources for the implementation of concrete measures
