The document discusses the results of a study on the effects of exercise on memory and thinking abilities in older adults. The study found that regular exercise can help reduce the decline in thinking abilities that often occurs with age. Older adults who exercised regularly performed better on cognitive tests and brain scans showed they had greater activity in important areas for memory and learning compared to less active peers.

Richard Vella, City of Houston Peter McStravick, Houston First Tom Smith and Hussein Moussa, ARUP Houston’s history has included several storm events, including Allison, Ike, Rita and most recently Harvey. Harvey’s record breaking rains resulted in flooding that became an inevitable reality. Now, Houston has made the conscience decision to build back in a more resilient way, thereby minimizing damages in subsequent events. Recovery and restoration efforts were aided by the lessons learned during these previous events. This panel session will feature representatives from City of Houston and Houston First describing how they rebuilt and restored their building operations following the Harvey storm. Those discussions will be expanded to highlight some of the key design and planning considerations that will be adopted moving ahead with this work.

Michelle Old, Kirksey Architecture and Scott McCready, SWA Landscape Architecture This session will take a look at the multi-faceted design approach to education carried out by the newest UHD campus addition. The University of Houston Downtown Sciences and Technology building not only provides an opportunity of formal education, but the design of the building also lends itself to an educational experience for both students and faculty alike. Throughout the project, educational and sustainable moments are showcased within the design, allowing the program to practice what it teaches. The site is designed to react to the flood plain by the use of paving quantities and site location, and a resilient landscape is achieved through the use of native plants as well as a water filtration system that is made of existing recycled concrete. Through the project, water flow can be traced from the building, through the site and ultimately into the bayou. The school’s program ties into the design by using native plants as learning opportunities as well as educational graphics that are located throughout the project. As a downtown campus, the building is connected to the existing hike and bike trail adjacent to the bayou, as well as the downtown urban edge along Main Street. This location enhances pedestrian activity through the project’s site and increases health and wellness.

Scott Tucker and Verrick Walker, Page A Black Swan is an event that appears random, is extremely difficult to predict, and usually occurs unexpectedly—with a huge impact. The flooding from Hurricane Harvey in 2017 was Houston’s Black Swan. Unfortunately, we seldom think of disastrous flooding in our commercial buildings, bioterrorism in our health care facilities, blasts in our mission critical facilities, or wildfires overcoming our civic infrastructure, until another black swan dominates the news. Over the past two decades, Page has formally helped owners and operators of critical facilities and infrastructure to plan and organize programs to harden and protect assets from a wide range of common and not-so-common threats, both natural and artificial. Beginning in 2001, we implemented a flood mitigation solution for Baylor College of Medicine’s campus in the Texas Medical Center after Tropical Storm Allison. Since that first project, we have helped academic, corporate, and government clients safeguard their facilities against fires, hurricanes, earthquakes, explosions, terrorist attacks, and even nuclear detonations. Through our work, we have developed a useful analytical framework for exploring resilient design options that applies to all types of threats, responses, and recovery efforts. This approach focuses on planning and programming for system-wide robustness, based on generalizing threats to buildings, rather than using actuarial data or calculated risk analysis. This presentation outlines a practical methodology for architects to evaluate facility vulnerabilities throughout the programming and design phases. We will share our threat matrix, a tool developed to summarize and prioritize risks, case studies of how we have implemented this process, and the resulting robust solutions. We also will discuss operational steps that can be taken before, during, and after extreme events in conjunction with designed solutions to maximize resilience.

Alex Westhoff, Marin County Department of Public Works Role-playing time! Marin County’s "Game of Floods" is a fun, engaging activity to help officials and citizens confront the complexities and challenges of adapting to Sea Level Rise. The simulated, fictitious island game board addresses nature-based protections, building retrofits, land use policy changes, and traditional engineering to solve for future sea level rise. Marin County developed the Game because an educated citizenry is critical to successful planning and implementation. This small group activity involves 4-6 participants tasked with developing a vision for the hypothetical island landscape that highlights conditions that will be experienced in coming years with sea level rise and increased storm impacts causing the loss or deterioration of homes, community facilities, roads, beaches, wetlands, and other resources.

Jaime Gonzales, the Nature Conservancy, and Beth Clark, Clark Condon Landscape Architects The Coastal Prairie Partnership, Katy Prairie Conservancy, Houston Native Prairie Association of Texas, and Clark Condon Associates came together to introduce a simple palette of native plants that is commercially available for the community to use in their landscapes. The Nine Natives were selected to work together to give a beautiful show in the garden throughout the year. Species were selected for their extended or repeat blooms, interesting foliage, contrasting colors and textures. All were chosen for the benefit to butterflies, hummingbirds, birds, beneficial insects and other wildlife in the garden and ethnobotanical value. The program includes example plans for formal and informal home gardens and street median plantings and a plan to demonstrate a multi-speciesplanting to create a native pocket prairie. While some species are strong enough in monoculture, others may be more effective in mixed groupings. The Nine Natives were judged to be a collection that would be appealing to local gardeners - easy to grow - and with a height and habit acceptable to the residential garden or street median. Most of the species are available through local specialty growers, if not local nurseries. The collection is a mix of grasses and forbs, perennials, or re-seeding annuals. Some flowers may give a quick show of brilliant color and others may carry the show throughout spring into the summer and fall long enough to contrast with the soft bloom and foliage of the native grasses in the palette. These Nine Native species may be used to incorporate natives in lieu of, or in addition to, horticultural (non-native) species. Used individually, planted in landscape beds in groups, or mixed together to make a prairie - no matter how they are used - these Nine Natives will add to the beauty and enjoyment of our gardens and neighborhoods.

Joshua Owens, Houston-Galveston Area Council Economic resilience is the ability to prevent and withstand disruptions to the economy. The most common types of disruptions include downturns in economy or in a key industry; the closure or exit of a major employer; and natural or manmade disasters. Creating a resilient economy requires the ability to anticipate risk, evaluate how risk can impact economic assets, and building the capacity respond to disruptions. The Houston-Galveston region has one of the most robust economies in the nation with major economic assets including the energy, agriculture and medical industries; international ports; and new plant expansions. The region is also vulnerable to wide range of natural hazards, including flooding, tornadoes, tropical storms and hurricanes; as well as potential manmade threats such as chemical releases. Local economies throughout the region can be impacted by a downturn in major industries or the loss of important employers. By identifying potential economic disruptions in the region, and conceptualizing economic resilience, creates the means to enhance the region’s economic resilience, through developing a vision for resilient regional economy.

Bradley Dean, Coastal Scientist, Michael Baker International Communicating about flood risk and hazard mitigation is challenging and requires storytelling. Our brains are wired to discount facts and the future. During this session, Coastal Scientist Bradley Dean CFM, CE, will explore three use cases for story maps focusing on best practices for communicating flood risk and mitigation initiatives: • Annapolis, Maryland needed a platform where residents and stakeholders could visualize and interpret the city’s flood mitigation efforts. • FEMA’s Cooperating Technical Partners’ Recognition Program wanted to showcase award recipients, San Antonio River Authority and Illinois State Water Survey, for their outstanding efforts in a unique way. • FEMA’s Risk MAP Program needed to increase awareness of non-regulatory flood risk products and their associated benefits for a broader audience. The solution was to develop story maps which utilize maps, narrative text, and multimedia content to increase accessibility and engage their target audiences. The applications are designed to be attractive and usable by anyone, which makes them great for education and outreach, either to the general public or to a specific audience. Story maps are an excellent resource to increase local awareness of current and future flood risk and interpret, prioritize, integrate, and implement solutions that reduce risk to enhance community resilience.

Danielle Pieranunzi, SITES Program Specialist, GBCI Too often, landscapes are seen as an afterthought – something to be altered and shaped once elements like buildings and roads are finalized. Modeled originally after LEED, the SITES program has shifted the focus beyond the building to reveal the necessity of healthy, functioning landscapes and green infrastructure in achieving overall sustainability and community resilience. High-performance sites provide a variety of benefits and can create ecologically resilient places better able to withstand and recover from catastrophic events. This session will frame the importance of land design and development by exploring the SITES v2 Rating System and relevant case studies.

John Blount, Harris County Engineer In late August, a downgraded tropical storm Harvey, which made landfall as a category 4 hurricane just days before, stalled over southwest Texas causing torrential flooding throughout the region. Unincorporated Harris County alone was inundated with in excess of a trillions gallons of storm water over 4 days, enough to fill the Astrodome 3200 times. In the aftermath of the unprecedented event, local officials were left to shepherd constituents through recovery and back to a sense of normalcy. In this presentation, the county engineer, John Blount, gives a detailed account of the after events of Hurricane Harvey and its effects on the environment, infrastructure and community. Mr. Blount will analyze flood data yet to be released to the public, in order give the audience a perspective of just how devastating Harvey’s flood waters were. This session will breaks down the county facilities destroyed by Hurricane Harvey and John’s vision to respond with resilient solutions instead of temporary fixes because with the frequency and severity of recent storms, this could be the new normal.

May 2024. Water pollution, also known as marine pollution, is the contamination of water sources by substances that make it unusable for human activities and disrupt aquatic ecosystems. Major contributors of water pollution include industrial waste, agriculture and farming, accidental oil spills, sewage, and marine dumping. The effects of water pollution include severe health issues, economic disruption, and disrupting the food chain. Water pollution affects both surface and groundwater sources, with groundwater pollution causing unsafe use and surface water pollution affecting all water sources above ground. Types of water pollution include chemical, physical, and nutrient-rich fertilizers. Water pollution control, prevention, and mitigation strategies include effective wastewater treatment, stormwater management, soil and sediment erosion control, organic farming, biodegradable plastics, and water conservation.

Sania Dzalbe is a PhD student in economic geography at Umeå University in Sweden who studies how people in rural areas adapt to crisis and adversity. Drawing from her upbringing in rural Latvia, she notes the importance of social reproduction in sustaining rural livelihoods, which often goes overlooked in traditional regional economic analysis. She argues that the concept of resilience is connected to the concept of loss, as during moments of crisis and major restructuring, societies lose not only jobs and industries but also the very mechanisms through which they shape their environment, both physically and socially. Current resilience studies in economic geography tend to disregard the role of social reproduction and the losses experienced by individuals by predominantly focusing on firms and economic production. However, to understand the evolution of rural regions and communities amid various challenges they face, one must recognize that social reproduction cannot be separated from economic and knowledge production processes.

River basins appear to be important in the Philippines due to rising water demand for residential needs, agriculture, commerce, and industry. While the country has a total available freshwater resource of 145,900 million Cubic Meters per year based on an 80% probability for surface water and 20,000 million Cubic Meters per year for groundwater recharge or extraction (ASEAN, 2005), the concern for sustainable water supply continues to be a major concern due to the continued degradation of river basins and watersheds.

LPlastic reuse stands as a pivotal strategy in the battle against environmental degradation. By giving plastic products a second chance, we significantly mitigate the burden on landfills and the natural world. This approach not only conserves resources but also diminishes the energy expended in the production of new plastics. Through creative reimagining and repurposing, we transform what might have been waste into valuable assets, from upcycled containers to innovative construction materials. Embracing plastic reuse not only reduces our reliance on virgin plastics but also fosters a culture of sustainability and resourcefulness, essential for building a more resilient and harmonious relationship with our planet.

In Israel, desalinated water is a major source of drinking water. Previous studies have suggested that the levels of iodine in water provided by authorities may not accurately reflect the levels reaching end-users. Materials and Methods: We analyzed 21 tap water samples collected from different localities across Israel, 13 posttreated desalinated water samples from three of the largest Israeli desalination plants, and several natural water samples. An improved method of ICP-MS developed in our laboratory was used to analyze the content of iodine and other macro-elements, and determination of iodine was performed in alkaline media. Results: Our results showed that it is possible to distinguish between sample groups based on iodine concentration, water hardness, and Ca/Mg ratio. The median iodine concentrations for four groups of tap water samples ranged from 0.3 to 12.3 μg/L, which is lower than the concentrations previously reported by other researchers in Israel. Based on typical consumption, the water samples can provide no more than 3.39% of the recommended dietary allowance level for iodine. The analysis of post-treated desalinated water samples indicated that these waters comply with industrial specifications but contain only trace concentrations of iodine and much less magnesium than recommended by different public health authorities for public consumption of drinking water. Conclusion: The total iodine concentrations found were lower than several observations reported in previous years in the literature. There are currently no strict regulations regarding iodine and magnesium levels in drinking and/or softened (desalinated) water, but the intensive desalination plant application is already exhibiting a negative impact on public health. Further investigations are needed, but the present study provides useful insights for developing an effective policy to ensure adequate iodine supply for the population of Israel through drinking water.

The superficial (cutaneous) fungal infections involve skin and its appendages, hair and nails. The causative fungi colonize only cornified layer of epidermis or supra-follicular portion of hair and usually do not penetrate into deeper tissues. The distribution and frequency of these infections and their etiological agents vary according to the geographic region, the socioeconomic level of population, climatic variation, presence of domestic animals and age. These infections are usually presented as scaly patches with central clearing with sharply demarcated as annular, erythematous, sometimes with vesicles, blisters and pustules. These superficial fungal infections are also responsible for morbidity, affecting quality of life, have recurrent relapses and drug resistance. This study was carried to find out the prevalence of various fungi associated with superficial fungal infection. This is a retrospective observational study carried to see clinical and laboratory profile of clinically suspected cases of superficial (cutaneous) fungal infection cases attending Dermatology Out Patient Department (OPD) and Skin scrapings, hair and nail samples were collected and processed according to standard mycological protocol. A total of 120 specimens were collected from clinically diagnosed superficial fungal infection cases. Tinea corporis was the most common clinical type in our study followed by Pityriasis versicolor, Onycomycosis and Tinea pedis. Most common dermatophyte species isolated was Trichophyton mentegrophyte and Malassezia sp. followed by Trichophyton violaceum, Candida sp., Trichophyton rubrum, Microsporum audouinii and Fusarium sp. Along with dermatophytes, nondermatophytic fungal infections are emerging as important debilitating problems affecting quality of life. Due to different type of antifugal use in different superficial mycoses, laboratory confirmation is desired, to decrease inappropriate use of drugs and drug resistance.
