Suburban Landscape

The ‘Compact City’ model of sustainable development relies almost exclusively on transport energy analysis to justify the raising of low residential densities by the insertion of higher density dwellings within them. Higher densities mean more people per hectare, which makes public transport more economically viable, which cuts down on car use, which saves transport energy. Suburbs are very popular, however - over 80% of the populations of the UK and the US would prefer to live in them - and they can't all be bulldozed or ‘densified’. Turning the Compact City model on its head frees us to ask what environmental advantages low densities might have. Most suburbs have abundant open land, and land can perform: grow food and fuel, collect and recycle water, modify harsh microclimates, save and generate energy. The ‘performative’ potential of the suburban landscape can transform it into a grown infrastructure contributing to the reduction of the overall environmental impact of a city region, justifying its relatively low densities.

Abstract The family, which is one of the smallest units of the society, has the most important effect on a child’s life. It is known that parents are the initial examples for the child in many ways. This study primarily aims to compare the sports sciences students in Turkey and the United Kingdom in terms of their parents’ participation in sports. The sample consisted of 390 sports sciences students (201 in the UK and 189 in Turkey). The study was conducted with the cross-sectional screening model. The data were collected by the Exercise Stages of Change Questionnaire (ESOCQ) and analysed by Chi-Squared (χ2) test. Within the scope of the study, it was found that the sports sciences students in both countries were rather at the active stage of exercise stages of change in both countries, but the ratio of the students who actively participated in exercise in the UK was higher. The observations from the passive and preparation stages of the participation in exercises were examined and the frequency of the students in Turkey was higher compared to those in the UK. The rates of parent attendance in sports were also higher in the UK, and the active stage was on for the majority of these students from the exercise stages of change. In Turkey, the students whose parents do not attend sports have higher rates than those of the attending parents. In consideration of the sportive achievements, it is quite obvious that it is not enough simply to offer choices to children. Beyond that, another approach is required. The leading action to take can be participating in sports by themselves to become a model for their kids. Accordingly, it is essential that parents should be seen as a social support that may help them develop some new attitudes towards sports at their developmental ages.

Background: Self-poisoning (overdose) is the commonest form of self-harm cases presenting to acute secondary care services in the UK, where there has been limited investigation of self-harm in black and minority ethnic communities. London has the UK’s most ethnically diverse areas but presents challenges in resident-based data collection due to the large number of hospitals. Aims: To investigate the rates and characteristics of self-poisoning presentations in two central London boroughs. Method: All incident cases of self-poisoning presentations of residents of Lambeth and Southwark were identified over a 12-month period through comprehensive acute and mental health trust data collection systems at multiple hospitals. Analysis was done using STATA 12.1. Results: A rate of 121.4/100,000 was recorded across a population of more than half a million residents. Women exceeded men in all measured ethnic groups. Black women presented 1.5 times more than white women. Gender ratios within ethnicities were marked. Among those aged younger than 24 years, black women were almost 7 times more likely to present than black men were. Conclusion: Self-poisoning is the commonest form of self-harm presentation to UK hospitals but population-based rates are rare. These results have implications for formulating and managing risk in clinical services for both minority ethnic women and men.

Abstract. This study used a longitudinal data set of 5,672 adults followed for 50 years to determine the factors that influence adult trait Openness-to-Experience. In a large, nationally representative sample in the UK (the National Child Development Study), data were collected at birth, in childhood (age 11), adolescence (age 16), and adulthood (ages 33, 42, and 50) to examine the effects of family social background, childhood intelligence, school motivation during adolescence, education, and occupation on the personality trait Openness assessed at age 50 years. Structural equation modeling showed that parental social status, childhood intelligence, school motivation, education, and occupation all had modest, but direct, effects on trait Openness, among which childhood intelligence was the strongest predictor. Gender was not significantly associated with trait Openness. Limitations and implications of the study are discussed.
