Knowledge Mobilization (KMb) is the reciprocal and complementary flow and uptake of research knowledge between knowledge producers, knowledge intermediaries, and knowledge users. The purpose of this investigation is to explore the typology of Canadian university-based Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics outreach organizations and understand if/how they function as knowledge mobilization intermediaries. Three research questions guide this first study; 1) What are the organizational features of K-12 STEM outreach organizations; 2) To what extent do STEM outreach organizations interact with K-12 educators or administration and 3) What knowledge mobilizations processes do they currently use? The methodology used for data collection will be an online questionnaire consisting of qualitative based open-ended questions. The educational importance of this study aligns with the goals of KMb as it has relevance to both within academia and beyond. Within academia, the results will contribute towards the body of knowledge within K-12 STEM education. Beyond academia, this study has value in practice, as the results will engage STEM outreach organizations in conversation about KMb strategies

The high number of people with diabetes mellitus is due to changes in people's lifestyle, knowledge level, and awareness to do early detection of diabetes mellitus disease that is lacking, lack of physical activity, traditional dietary arrangements containing carbohydrates and fiber from vegetables to diet to the west with a composition of foods that have too much protein, fat, salt, and sugar. The purpose of the study was to find out the relationship of diet and lifestyle with blood sugar levels in the elderly with diabetes mellitus. The design of this research is crossectional analytics. The variables of this study are diet and lifestyle as independent variables as well as blood sugar levels as dependent variables. The study population is all elderly diabetes mellitus patients (> 50 years old) and can communicate well in the poly disease in dr. Moerdjito Jombang Hospital as many as 145 patients. Samples were taken with simple random sampling techniques as many as 107 respondents. The data was collected with questionnaire instruments and processed using editing, coding, scoring and tabulating and tested with linear regression tests. The results of this study showed that partially and simultaneously (simultaneously) independent variables can affect the occurrence of dependent variables due to the value of < 0.05. This indicates that modern lifestyles that often consume fast food or fast food cause an increased risk of DM disease, including consuming beverages containing artificial sweeteners and excessive consumption of carbohydrates that can increase the risk of developing DM disease higher. Unhealthy diet that is by ignoring the type, amount and schedule or frequency of consumption that can cause metabolic disorders in the body, one of which is disorders in glucose metabolism.

In the absence of an explicit and specific theory, the management of production processes in construction is essentially based on a Taylorist view, based on the economic theory of production. Thus, given the particularities of construction, the plans developed are often unreal, with recurring delays and unforeseen circumstances during production. Thus, because of the importance and the latent need to develop a specific theory, this article uses a systematic literature review (SLR) to comprehend what has been developed and discuss the topic. The main objective is to answer the following research questions: 1) What is being proposed to develop a production theory applied to construction? 2) What is the approach used in the publications? 3) What can be proposed for the body of knowledge in question to fill gaps? Based on the results of the SLR, it was verified that the development of such a theory appears to be very incipient and not formalized in the publications, with inconclusive results and weak multidisciplinary cooperation. Furthermore, there are indications that authors associated with Lean Thinking may be leading research on production theory in construction since most of the publications have results that were conceptually based on Lean Construction principles. It is understood that the content of this article is relevant because it outlines the current stage of development of the theory and indicates possible paths to achievements.

The paper discusses the general features of the theoretical, epistemological, and methodological framework of a feminist approach in the early 21st-century Geopolitics with the aim to discover how its proponents challenge the established ?truths? of (neo)classical geopolitics and make innovative interventions to ?repair? and improve the knowledge produced in critical geopolitics. Being the most recent offspring of geopolitical knowledge that emerged only three decades ago, feminist geopolitics provoked an immediate backlash from the colleagues from the mainstream political geography in terms of recognising its disciplinary position. The author gives an overview of the body of a significant feminist geopolitical work drawn up based on a selected batch of most important international journals and edited volumes published since 2001. The author argues that the contribution of theoretical, epistemological and methodological insights of feminist geopolitics should be located in counterbalancing of the rigidity of the discipline mainstream, and in insisting on the analysis of the intersections of the public (state, global) and the private/intimate (body, home), interrelatedness of embodied life practices and abstract/bureaucratic geopolitical projects, as well as on the introduction of post-positivist methodological approaches and techniques. The paper systemises the most important feminist research questions, and particularly legitimate topics of the day, which were ignored or missed by the mainstream geopolitical research. The author concludes that the feminist approach still remains a dissident body of knowledge within the geopolitical thought, but with an emancipatory potential in creating theoretical and political space in which to articulate a more responsive notion of geopolitics - taken both as knowledge and practice - that might address victimisation of marginalised population entangled in imperial projects.

Shopping as a daily activity that involves carrying shopping bags in hands might be associated with risk factors contributing to the development of low back pain (LBP) and strains and sprains in the upper extremity. A three-way repeated measures experiment was conducted for the purpose of the study. The independent variables were holding style, carrying technique, and shopping bags’ weights. The dependent variables were cardiac cost, muscles’ activities as a percentage of their maximum voluntary contraction’s EMG (%MVC), peak plantar pressure (PPP), and discomfort rating. Carrying grocery bags with both hands to the sides of the body using shopping bags’ holder was favorable and advantageous to other carrying conditions in terms of less cardiac cost, less %MVC, less peak plantar pressure, and less discomfort. It is useful to carry grocery bags close to the body with both hands using holders that are available in the local market.

AbstractCollaborative economy refers to social and economic sharing activities that make entities (customer and peer provider) in-service ecosystem can access services through technology or digital platform. This research aims to give a better understanding of activities and interaction between entities that can potentially elevate the existence of peer-to-peer (P2P) accommodation in Indonesia. Although research regarding the collaborative economy has been accelerating, there has not been a formal conceptualization of interaction from a broadening perspective as a service ecosystem in the context of co-creation. Preliminary study becomes crucial and relevant with the raising of the collaborative economy, based on the consideration that no previous research is considered to be able to explain the dynamics of interaction by using a perspective of Service-Dominant Logic (S-D Logic). This study seeks to answer two research questions, what interactions occur outside consumers, peer providers, platform providers, and how co-creation might be created in the P2P service ecosystem. This conceptual paper draws on the interaction from the perspective of co-creation between entities and stakeholders as a lens by using the systematic-qualitative approach. In general, this study uses the Soft System Methodology (SSM) precisely defining an unstructured situation in the real world. This study tries to initiate the development of phases of co-creation between entities in the service ecosystem. The outcomes of this study enrich the body of knowledge of service science, especially on the way to apply the framework value co-creation. The development of a better service ecosystem across particular engagement remains critical.

#FeesMustFall was a movement whose maxim was, “This revolution will be intersectional, or it will be bullshit.” This article is a self-reflection on my participation as a so-called radical black intersectional feminist in the #FeesMustFall movement at Stellenbosch University. It is also an attempt to provide evidence of the double erasures taking place in the mainstream patriarchal narratives about the #FeesMustFall movement. My story bears witness to the fact that queer black womxn were the backbone of the movement and that #FeesMustFall did indeed occur at Stellenbosch University. These constitute the double erasures taking place in terms of what is and can be known about the #FeesMustFall movement. My reflections serve to make a much-needed contribution to the body of knowledge produced about the #FeesMustFall movement.
