This document discusses empowering communities to improve their own health by becoming co-producers of health rather than just consumers of healthcare. It notes that empowerment is key to reducing health inequalities. It provides data showing the limited typical travel distances for physical activity in disadvantaged communities compared to middle class individuals. The document advocates for a whole systems approach and empowering communities rather than just providing health resources. It presents examples of community health mapping and programs in London boroughs to encourage physical activity, access to healthy foods, and safe play spaces for children.

The document discusses youth inclusion programs in Kent that use sport to help at-risk young people. The programs were started by police and partners to provide an alternative activity and build self-discipline and anger management. Each program costs £2,500 and includes coaching, facilities rental, and kit for about 15 young people. The underlying principles are forming partnerships with sports organizations, choosing appropriate youth referrals, and making the programs fun rather than punitive.

Sean Smith - "Helping Older People to Become More Active"
This document summarizes Age UK's efforts to increase physical activity among older adults. It outlines several programs including Get Going Together which provides one-on-one support to develop exercise plans and goals. It has worked with over 1100 participants across 10 local Age UKs.

The suffering of elderly people...
This document summarizes the results of a survey about elderly people in Pakistani society. The survey found that most elderly people stay active by keeping busy with hobbies, social activities, and social networking. Younger generations have mixed views about respecting older people, with some agreeing and others neither agreeing nor disagreeing. The survey also found that while second marriages are sometimes accepted for elderly people, they are often not accepted. Overall, the findings suggest that elderly people could positively contribute if properly cared for by their families with love and attention rather than being treated as a burden.
Youth Service Info Graphic
The Warrington Youth Service annual satisfaction survey for 2014/15 found that 98% of young people were satisfied or very satisfied with the service. Over 60% of those surveyed were male.

The survey also showed that 85% of young people found the youth workers to be well-trained and knowledgeable, and 85% were very satisfied with how approachable the youth workers were.
Transforming Active Transportation Through Electrification, Sergio Lopez
The Community Electric Bike Program sought to test how electric bikes could benefit underserved communities and improve transportation options. It partnered with a nonprofit community center to provide 10 used electric bikes to participants over 3 cohorts. The majority of the 28 participants were male and did not own a regular bicycle. They reported traveling around 4,000 miles over 10 weeks. However, some barriers included the durability of the bikes in rain and potholes as well as a lack of rain gear. Overall, the project showed electric bikes' potential for faster, easier transportation but introduced challenges around adoption in new communities.
Ppt VSLAs
A savings group allows people to save together and take small loans from those savings. Savings groups operate in cycles of one year, after which accumulated savings and loan profits are distributed back to members. The purpose is to provide simple savings and loan facilities for communities without access to formal financial services. Additionally, savings groups allow members to discuss socio-economic issues affecting their community. Village savings and loan associations (VSLAs) specifically were established in 1991 in Niger and there are now over 200,000 savings groups across 35+ countries, providing financial inclusion and empowerment for their members.
Good Things Foundation Digital Health Inclusion 2 March 2020
11.9 million people in the UK lack essential digital skills needed for online health tools.

The overall goal is to make Scotland a world-class digital nation with high levels of participation.
Vas conference 2014
This document discusses digital participation in Scotland. It outlines several key statistics on internet usage over time and barriers to digital participation. Specifically, it notes that 1.3 million people in Scotland lack basic online skills and 30% lack these skills overall in the UK. Several programs are highlighted to help address these barriers through improving digital skills, funding for organizations to digitize, and online learning resources. The overall goal is for Scotland to become a world-class digital nation with high levels of digital participation.

Do you know someone who would benefit from a device or is struggling to pay for broadband connectivity?
In this webinar, we heard from Rob Shapiro, Partnerships and Fundraising Manager at Good Things Foundation, John Duncan, Digital Inclusion Programme Manager at Greater Manchester Combined Authority (seconded from Virgin Media O2) and Chris Grant, our Community Relationship Officer at AbilityNet on how charities or carers (paid and unpaid) can source devices and free or low-cost internet access.
Highlands presentation
Get IT Together was a 3-year digital inclusion program funded by BT and local partners that helped over 9,950 individuals in rural areas like Skye, Wester Ross, Lochaber, and Orkney develop digital skills. The program trained 1,309 learners over 4 hours and engaged over 300 community groups. A longitudinal study found that 67% of participants in the Highlands were still online after 1 year, with 55% encouraging others to use the internet. The social return on investment of the program was calculated to be £3.70 for every £1 spent, through benefits like increased confidence, job searching skills, and reduced isolation. Moving forward, the program aims to address challenges like insufficient training capacity and

The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.

Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.

Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.

Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.

Microbial characterisation and identification, and potability of River Kuywa ...Open Access Research Paper
Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.

Recycling and Disposal on SWM Raymond Einyu pptx
Increasing urbanization, rural–urban migration, rising standards of living, and rapid development associated with population growth have resulted in increased solid waste generation by industrial, domestic and other activities in Nairobi City. It has been noted in other contexts too that increasing population, changing consumption patterns, economic development, changing income, urbanization and industrialization all contribute to the increased generation of waste.
With the increasing urban population in Kenya, which is estimated to be growing at a rate higher than that of the country’s general population, waste generation and management is already a major challenge. The industrialization and urbanization process in the country, dominated by one major city – Nairobi, which has around four times the population of the next largest urban centre (Mombasa) – has witnessed an exponential increase in the generation of solid waste. It is projected that by 2030, about 50 per cent of the Kenyan population will be urban.
Aim:
A healthy, safe, secure and sustainable solid waste management system fit for a world – class city.
Improve and protect the public health of Nairobi residents and visitors.
Ecological health, diversity and productivity and maximize resource recovery through the participatory approach.
Goals:
Build awareness and capacity for source separation as essential components of sustainable waste management.
Build new environmentally sound infrastructure and systems for safe disposal of residual waste and replacing current dumpsites which should be commissioned.
Current solid waste management situation:
The status.
Solid waste generation rate is at 2240 tones / day
collection efficiently is at about 50%.
Actors i.e. city authorities, CBO’s , private firms and self-disposal
Current SWM Situation in Nairobi City:
Solid waste generation – collection – dumping
Good Practices:
• Separation – recycling – marketing.
• Open dumpsite dandora dump site through public education on source separation of waste, of which the situation can be reversed.
• Nairobi is one of the C40 cities in this respect , various actors in the solid waste management space have adopted a variety of technologies to reduce short lived climate pollutants including source separation , recycling , marketing of the recycled products.
• Through the network, it should expect to benefit from expertise of the different actors in the network in terms of applicable technologies and practices in reducing the short-lived climate pollutants.
Good practices:
Despite the dismal collection of solid waste in Nairobi city, there are practices and activities of informal actors (CBOs, CBO-SACCOs and yard shop operators) and other formal industrial actors on solid waste collection, recycling and waste reduction.
Practices and activities of these actor groups are viewed as innovations with the potential to change the way solid waste is handled.
CHALLENGES:
• Resource Allocation.
