With an ageing population, the demand for housing options that provide on-site care and support for older adults is growing and expected to continue to rise.
However, not much is known about how these living environments support older residents from social minorities.
This presentation summarises the Inclusive Neighbourhoods policy report, which finds that:
- Housing with care schemes work well in counteracting social isolation and preventing loneliness
- Pockets of isolation still exist among some residents, particularly people from social minorities

KAJIAN TAHAP PENGETAHUAN MENGENAI KADAR PENGAMBILAN KALORI YANG DIPERLUKAN DA...Muhammad Nasrullah
Ini merupakan HSR Kajian yang dilakukan secara berkumpulan. Segala maklumat yang dipaparkan adalah sahih dan original.
Dewasa ini, masalah kesihatan seringkali menjadi isu yang hangat diperkatakan. Saban hari, jumlah mortaliti semakin meningkat disebabkan penyakit-penyakit kronik seperti Diabetes Mellitus,Hipertensi, serta masalah jantung. Kajian yang dijalankan ialah mengenai ‘Tahap Pengetahuan Mengenai Kadar Pengambilan Kalori Yang Diperlukan Dalam Kalangan Ahli Kelab Nutrisi Taman Perpaduan, Perak. Kajian ini dijalankan bagi mengukur tahap pengetahuan ahli tersebut mengenai keperluan kalori. Pengetahuan kalori sangat penting kerana kalori merupakan sejenis jumlah tenaga yang dijana oleh badan. Sekiranya kalori tersebut tidak dibakar, maka berlakunya, lemak berlebihan dalam badan seterusnya mengundang kepada penyakit kronik seperti diatas. Pengkaji telah memilih teknik deskriptif dan kuantitatif. Design atau bentuk kajian ini dipilih kerana ianya memudahkan penyelidik di dalam menjalankan kajian tanpa memerlukan perbandingan data yang akan diperolehi dengan data kawalan. Kaedah ini dilakukan secara tinjauan dan gambaran berkaitan fenomena dalam kehidupan sebenar berkaitan ciri-ciri individu, situasi, atau kumpulan. Sampel populasi yang diambil adalah seramai 30 orang yang dipilih secara rawak di Kelab Nutrisi Taman Perpaduan, Perak. Kesemua responden yang diambil adalah daripada golongan berumur dari 18 tahun hingga 30 tahun yang mempunyai latar belakang yang berlainan, taraf pendidikan yang berbeza serta status pekerjaan yang berbeza. Tempat yang dipilih ialah sebuah kelab iaitu Kelab Nutrisi Taman Perpaduan, Perak. Kawasan ini dipilih sebagai lokasi penyelidikan kerana terdapatnya sebuah kelab yang diberi nama Kelab Rakan Sihat. Kelab Rakan Sihat ini merupakan tempat yang ideal bagi individu yang ingin mengamalkan gaya hidup sihat melalui saranan pengambilan kalori yang mengikut keperluan. Setelah kajian dijalankan, ternyata masyarakat di Malaysia yang semakin berusia lebih mengetahui tentang keperluan kalori yang betul. Hal ini mungkin disebabkan penyakit kronik berlaku seiring dengan peningkatan usia. Oleh itu, mereka mengamalkan gaya hidup yang sihat dengan mengawal kalori yang terdapat dalam badan. Bagi meningkatkan tahap pengetahuan masyarakat Malaysia khususnya generasi muda, beberapa cadangan harus dikemukakan. Antaranya ialah mengadakan pendidikan kesihatan, mengedarkan risalah, serta melakukan aktiviti yang dapat membakar kalori.

Slides from a presentation designed to help you map your community business on a page, whether established or just an idea. This supports the talk given by Power to Change at the Eden Project, as part of the Big Lunch Extras programme.
Communities are only as strong and vibrant as the people who live in them. So when you come across extraordinary people doing remarkable things, and those actions spread like a friendly virus to others, you end up with something quite magical and powerful: Extraordinary Communities.
The pages of this book celebrate projects and ideas big and small, some simple some not so simple. Some require time, commitment and tenacity. All are driven by a passion and a belief in doing something good. These are ordinary people who chatted in pubs, cafes or at the school gates and asked – ‘What if…?’ ‘We really need a…’ or ‘Why don’t we…?’ And then – this is the extraordinary bit – they did it.

Up the Ratios Bylaws - a Comprehensive Process of Our Organizationuptheratios
Up the Ratios is a non-profit organization dedicated to bridging the gap in STEM education for underprivileged students by providing free, high-quality learning opportunities in robotics and other STEM fields. Our mission is to empower the next generation of innovators, thinkers, and problem-solvers by offering a range of educational programs that foster curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking.
At Up the Ratios, we believe that every student, regardless of their socio-economic background, should have access to the tools and knowledge needed to succeed in today's technology-driven world. To achieve this, we host a variety of free classes, workshops, summer camps, and live lectures tailored to students from underserved communities. Our programs are designed to be engaging and hands-on, allowing students to explore the exciting world of robotics and STEM through practical, real-world applications.
Our free classes cover fundamental concepts in robotics, coding, and engineering, providing students with a strong foundation in these critical areas. Through our interactive workshops, students can dive deeper into specific topics, working on projects that challenge them to apply what they've learned and think creatively. Our summer camps offer an immersive experience where students can collaborate on larger projects, develop their teamwork skills, and gain confidence in their abilities.
In addition to our local programs, Up the Ratios is committed to making a global impact. We take donations of new and gently used robotics parts, which we then distribute to students and educational institutions in other countries. These donations help ensure that young learners worldwide have the resources they need to explore and excel in STEM fields. By supporting education in this way, we aim to nurture a global community of future leaders and innovators.
Our live lectures feature guest speakers from various STEM disciplines, including engineers, scientists, and industry professionals who share their knowledge and experiences with our students. These lectures provide valuable insights into potential career paths and inspire students to pursue their passions in STEM.
Up the Ratios relies on the generosity of donors and volunteers to continue our work. Contributions of time, expertise, and financial support are crucial to sustaining our programs and expanding our reach. Whether you're an individual passionate about education, a professional in the STEM field, or a company looking to give back to the community, there are many ways to get involved and make a difference.
We are proud of the positive impact we've had on the lives of countless students, many of whom have gone on to pursue higher education and careers in STEM. By providing these young minds with the tools and opportunities they need to succeed, we are not only changing their futures but also contributing to the advancement of technology and innovation on a broader scale.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.

2. • A mismatch of the relationships we have and those we want
• An internal trigger telling us to seek company as thirst tells
us to drink and hunger tells us to eat
• Loneliness describes the pain of being alone as solitude
describes the joy of being alone
• Isolation is often where there is no choice but to be alone
• Some people seek solitude, but few choose to be lonely,
primarily because it isn’t good for us

6. • Place based approach to loneliness
• Asset based community development, action research
• Working with people in their neighbourhood to explore what
contributes to feelings of overwhelming/problematic loneliness

What causes loneliness?
13. • Members of the neighbourhoods came up with over 1000 ideas to
reduce loneliness
• An average of 65 ideas were prioritised in each neighbourhood and
shared with community partners and local stakeholders
• Community researchers in the neighbourhoods have done planning,
negotiation and project management training
• Each neighbourhood has reduced (not easy!) these ideas to 5
priorities which they are now putting into practice
• Community researchers are now activists – sharing the key messages

Editor's Notes
Twice as likely to die prematurely
Worst than obesity
Akin to smoking 15 cigarettes a day
Increased links with cardiovascular disorder and hypertension and dementia
And why is this – people who are lonely often do not choose healthy lifestyles – less likely to exercise, sleep and eat properly
They are also more likely to make unhealthy choices
EXAMPLE
If you think about times when you have felt drained and exhausted world weary and in a rut – do you turn to healthy comforts ? Like a jog or would you turn to the fridge?
Research shows us that loneliness is linked with a whole range of behaviours which damage our health.
And as it causes ill-health it also increases burdens on our health and care services – which means costs to us all.
It also damages our wider community infrastructure. As people become more and more lonely they lose their confidence, and they withdraw more and more. In time people withdraw from their communities. Those communities then lose out on these individual’s skills, resources and contributions, and over time they become poorer for it.
As JRF’s work showed “loneliness kills people and kills communities”
When we look at the risk factors for loneliness we can see why it tends to converge at the beginning and end of life.
For younger people issues such as moving house, having a low income, and being out of work can be particular triggers to loneliness. As can being a carer for children.
We can also see how the risks converge in later life
But the risks for loneliness are not all about our individual circumstances. Some features of our communities can make us more or less vulnerable to loneliness – issues like access to transport are perhaps obvious, but other factors – like population change which can occur when new faces moving into an area over time can leave some older residents feeling marooned, or when crime rates can leave people feeling prisoners in their own homes, fearful of reaching out to neighbours.
We have a lot to consider
NO ONE IS AN ISLAND
We looked at loneliness from a place perspective as people live in place – and if we consider out networks they are often no longer where we live and work – this is particularly important when we are experiencing loneliness but it is particularly important for us all
This approach can be changed to anything, neighbourhood approaches to dementia, to heath, to prejudice ….
Think of one thing personal
Professional
