Objective The study examines the integration of the Evidence-based Design (EBD) approach in healthcare architecture education in the context of an academic design studio. Background Previous research addressed the gap between scientific research and architectural practice and the lack of research on the use of the EBD approach in architectural education. Methods The research examines an undergraduate architectural studio to design a Maggie’s Centre for cancer care in Israel and evaluates the impact of the EBD approach on the design process and design outcomes. The research investigates the impact of the integration of three predesign tasks: (1) literature review of healing architecture research, (2) analysis and comparison of existing Maggie’s Centres, and (3) analysis of the context of the design project. Results The literature review of scientific research supported the conceptual design and development of the projects. The analysis of existing Maggie’s centers, which demonstrated the interpretation of the evidence by different architects, developed the students’ ability to evaluate EBD in practice critically, and the study of the projects’ local context led the students to define the relevance of the evidence to support their vision for the project. Conclusions The research demonstrates the advantages of practicing EBD at an early stage in healthcare architectural education to enhance awareness of the impact of architectural design on the users’ health and well-being and the potential to support creativity and innovative design. More studies in design studios are needed to assess the full impact of integrating EBD in architectural education.

Health And Well Being

More than 80% of the people in the USA and Canada live in cities. Urban development replaces natural environments with built environments resulting in limited access to outdoor environments which are critical to human health and well-being. In addition, many urban open spaces are unused because of poor design. This paper describes case studies where traditional landscape architectural design approaches would have compromised design success, while evidence-based landscape architecture (EBLA) resulted in a successful product. Examples range from school-yard design that provides safe levels of solar radiation for children, to neighborhood parks and sidewalks that encourage people to walk and enjoy nearby nature. Common characteristics for integrating EBLA into private, public, and academic landscape architecture practice are outlined along with a discussion of some of the opportunities and barriers to implementation.

The Relationship

Aim:The objective of this article is to identify and analyze what is known about characteristics in and around the home that support well-being for those with cognitive impairment. This could provide direction for designers of homes in general, but specifically for designers trying to meet the needs of people with cognitive impairment.Background:It has been established that there is a relationship between psychological well-being and a person’s environment. Research also shows that particular design aspects can reduce the impact of cognitive impairment. However, there is limited design expertise in the Australian housing market to create supportive spaces which will help to reduce the impact of the disability for those with cognitive impairment.Method:A literature review was carried out to determine the extent and details of what is known about the relationship of home design and its impact on emotional, psychological, or social well-being for people with cognitive impairment.Conclusions:The study indicates that researchers in various disciplines understand that pragmatic design inputs such as thermal comfort and adequate lighting are important for people with cognitive impairment. In addition, some researchers have shown or surmise that there are other “intangible” designer-controlled elements that have beneficial impacts on people with cognitive impairment. Details of these intangible elements are sparse, and how much they might improve the quality of life for a person with cognitive impairment is not well understood. Further research is required to meet a growing need.

Objectives, Purpose, or Aim: This article investigates whether the physical environment in which childbirth occurs impacts the intrapartum intervention rates and how this might happen. The study explores the spatial physical characteristics that can support the design of spaces to promote the health and well-being of women, their supporters, and maternity care professionals. Background: Medical interventions during childbirth have consequences for the health of women and babies in the immediate and long term. The increase in interventions is multifactorial and may be influenced by the model of care adopted, the relationships between caregivers and the organizational culture, which is made up of many factors, including the built environment. In the field of birth architecture research, there is a gap in the description of the physical characteristics of birth environments that impact users’ health. Method: A scoping review on the topic was performed to understand the direct and indirect impacts of the physical environment on birth intervention rates. Results and Discussion: The findings are organized into three tables reporting the influence that the physical characteristics of a space might have on people’s behaviors, experiences, practices and birth health outcomes. Eight building spaces that require further investigation and research were highlighted: unit layout configuration, midwives’ hub/desk, social room, birth philosophy vectors, configuration of the birth room, size and shape of the birth room, filter, and sensory elements. Conclusions: The findings show the importance of considering the physical environment in maternity care and that further interdisciplinary studies focused on architectural design are needed to enrich the knowledge and evidence on this topic and to develop accurate recommendations for designers.

The Impact

Throughout the world, the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted family routines, relationships, projects and sociability, threatening the health, income, social cohesion, and well-being of individuals and their families. Lockdown restrictions imposed during the first wave of the pandemic challenged the theories, concepts, and methods used by family sociologists and the intersecting fields of gender and social inequality. By restricting physical interactions to co-resident family members, the household regained a privileged role as a crucial social laboratory for studying the impact of COVID-19 on family life. The difficulties encountered by individuals in maintaining and dealing with close relationships across households and geographical borders, in a context in which relational proximity was discouraged by the public authorities, exposed the linked nature of family and personal relationships beyond the limits of co-residence. The main aim of this article is to investigate the social impacts of the pandemic on different types of households during the first lockdown at an early stage of the pandemic in Portugal. Drawing on an online survey applied to a non-probabilistic sample of 11,508 households between 25 and 29 March 2020, the authors combined quantitative and qualitative methods, including bi-variate inferential statistics, cluster analysis and in-depth case studies. The article distinguishes between different household types: solo, couple with and without children, extended, friendship, lone-parent families, and intermittent arrangements, such as shared custody. A cross-tabulation of the quantitative data with open-ended responses was carried out to provide a refined analysis of the household reconfigurations brought about during lockdown. The analysis showed how pre-existing unequal structural living conditions shaped the pathways leading to household reconfiguration as families sought to cope with restrictions on mobility, social distancing norms, and other lockdown measures. The findings stress that, in dealing with a crisis, multilevel welfare interventions need to be considered if governments are to cater to the differentiated social needs and vulnerabilities faced by individuals and families.

The Impact

COVID-19 berdampak pada beberapa aspek kehidupan manusia sehingga dapat mempengaruhi kesejahteraan hidup seseorang. Salah satu hal yang dapat digunakan sebagai bentuk coping untuk menghadapi masa pandemi yang mendatangkan stres untuk sebagian orang ini adalah aktivitas seksual yang pada akhirnya dapat menyebabkan munculnya perilaku penyimpangan seksual. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melakukan kajian literatur terkait penyimpangan seksual sehingga menemukan faktor penyebab munculnya perilaku penyimpangan seksual. Pengambilan data dilakukan dengan mereview beberapa jurnal penelitian. Penyebab munculnya perilaku penyimpangan seksual dapat diulas dengan pendekatan behavioristik, psikoanalisis dan kognitif. Dengan adanya reinforcement dapat menyebabkan perilaku terjadi berulang dan pengalaman masa lalu seseorang yang tidak menyenangkan dapat menjadi salah satu penyebab munculnya penyimpangan seksual. Penangan yang dapat diberikan untuk mengurangi perilaku tersebut adalah dengan CBT. Temuan ini dapat menjadi salah satu acuan teori yang dapat digunakan oleh peneliti selanjutnya dalam mencari tahu penyebab munculnya penyimpangan seksual dan menemukan penanganan yang efektif dan spesifik. COVID-19 is undoubtedly having an immerse impact on well being. One way of coping to tackle the impact of this pandemic outbreaks is through sexual activity which can cause the development of sexual deviation. The purpose of this literature review is to gain understanding of the existing research and theories relevant to sexual deviation, and to present the review in the form of a report. Sexual deviation can be explained from the perspective of behavioristic, psychoanalytic, and cognitive. Reinforcement can cause the behavior to be repeated and traumatic childhood experience may result in sexual deviance. One way to treat sexual deviance is Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT). We believe the result of this study can be used as reference to find the cause of sexual deviation and come up with specific treatment.

Masalah malnutrisi (gizi buruk) masih menjadi isu kesehatan global. Gizi buruk merupakan penyebab kematian tertinggi anak di negara berkembang. Malnutrisi adalah keadaan kekurangan energi dan protein berat akibat ketidakseimbangan antara ambilan makanan dengan kebutuhan gizi. Keadaan malnutrisi energi-protein sering dikaitkan dengan temuan kasus defisiensi vitamin D. Berdasarkan studi epidemiologi >50% anak malnutrisi berat juga mengalami defisiensi vitamin D. Pengoreksian melalui diet terapeutik sebagai standar pengobatan hanya mengandung vitamin D dalam jumlah sedang sehingga tidak cukup adekuat untuk mencukupi kebutuhan anak. Pemberian tambahan vitamin D3 dosis tinggi sebanyak 200.000 IU (5 mg) diduga mampu mengoreksi keadaan gizi buruk dengan meningkatkan berat badan dan nilai z-score anak. Literature review ini bertujuan untuk menjelaskan pengaruh pemberian vitamin D dalam memperbaiki tampilan klinis anak gizi buruk. Metode yang digunakan dalam artikel ini adalah penelusuran artikel melalui database NCBI dan Google Scholar. Tahun penerbitan sumber pustaka adalah dari tahun 2004 hingga 2019 dengan 29 sumber pustaka. Tema dalam artikel yang dikumpulkan yaitu terkait gambaran pengaruh pemberian vitamin D dalam meningkatkan berat badananak gizi buruk. Hasil dari sintesa 24 artikel yang telah ditemukan terdapat pengaruh pemberian vitamin D (cholecalciferol) terhadap kenaikan berat badan sebagai hasil kumulatif lemak di jaringan adiposa sehingga cukup potensial sebagai terapi gizi buruk.   Kata kunci: Vitamin D, gizi buruk, berat badan, cholecalciferol   VITAMIN D AS POTENTIAL THERAPY FOR MALNUTRITION CHILD   ABSTRACT Malnutrition (malnutrition) is still a global health problem. Malnutrition is the highest cause of deaths children in developing countries. Malnutrition is the impact of lack of energy and protein due to an imbalance between food intake and nutritional needs. The symptoms are marasmus, kwashiorkor or marasmik-kwashiorkor. Energy-protein malnutrition is often related to the case finding of vitamin D deficiency, which is caused by epidemiological studies>50% of severely malnourished children also have vitamin D deficiency. Correcting malnutrition with a therapeutic diet as a standard is sufficient to meet the child's needs. An additional 200,000 IU (5 mg) of high-dose vitamin D3 supplements can replace malnutrition by increasing the child's weight and z-score. This review summarizes the role of vitamin D as a potential therapy in improving infant health and well-being and malnutrition. The method taken by the article was made using the literature review method, involving 29 books, national or international journals. The results of a review of 24  articles that show the difference between vitamin D (cholecalciferol) and weight gain as a result of cumulative fat in adipose tissue through increased intracellular calcium, is quite potentially used as a supplementary therapy for child nutrition.   Keywords: vitamin D, malnutrition, weight, cholecalciferol

The Impact

Economic abuse is another form of intimate partner violence (IPV) used by batterers to maintain power and control over their partners which often goes unreported, unrealized, and under-supported by IPV survivor advocates. Economic abuse is misunderstood as an IPV and is often incorrectly considered a financial crime, financial fraud, or white-collar crime. Economic abuse impacts the victim’s short and long-term physical and mental well-being in efforts to achieve economic wellness for basic living conditions as well as job placement and professional development opportunities. Healthy minds fuel healthy bodies and economic self-efficacy contributes to both mental and physical health. The awareness and impact of economic abuse is grossly understudied, lacking empirical evidence on victims and survivors of economic self-sufficiency during and at the conclusion of an abusive relationship. The current research has primarily collected and reported data on heterosexual women, leaving a gap in the research regarding the impact of economic abuse in LGBTQ+ relationships. This paper serves as a literature review into current economic abuse research by discussing three constructs: economic control, economic exploitation, and employment sabotage as well as possible solutions for educational opportunities and financial self-efficacy. Further research is needed to raise awareness and provide financial literacy to IPV survivors in all gender communities.
