The community empowerment model of grassroots organizing is briefly described. A particular ecological framework physical, economic, and social environmental predictors citizen participation in or ganizations presented. Individual block‐level (contextual) survey observational data from New York City, Baltimore, Salt Lake City were used to predict residents' such organizations, cross‐sectionally after a one‐year time lag. Longitudinal one city the viability block associations seven years...

ABSTRACT Subjects were instructed to attempt identification of feeling states which would keep on a blue light operated by EEG alpha activity. A closed physiologic feedback system was used and no stimuli external the circuit employed. highly significant degree enhanced activity achieved in first practice session, 60% subjects showed specificity response signal situation as compared same without signal. Greatest achievement appeared be related narrowing perceptual awareness pleasant states.

Guided walks near a light rail stop in downtown Salt Lake City, Utah, were examined using 2 (gender) × 3 (route walkability: low-mixed-, or high-walkability features) design. Trained raters confirmed that more walkable segments had traffic, environmental, and social safety; pleasing aesthetics; natural features; pedestrian amenities; land use diversity (using the Irvine-Minnesota physical environment audit) superior milieu rating. According to tape-recorded open-ended descriptions,...

Altman's territoriality theory was used as a framework for examining neighborhood attachment. We hypothesized that attachment would be manifested in interrelated patterns of neighboring behaviors, attitudes indicating the block secondary territory, and individual communal displays holiday decorations. Design features cul-de-sacs were to contribute greater degrees on than through streets. Attachment assessed interviews with female residents observations decorations target home its at...

ABSTRACT The present report summarizes results from feedback experiments using the three EEG frequency ranges of theta, alpha, and beta to operate lights different colors. subjects were requested try isolate identify feeling (and/or thought) activity which they felt caused successful operation lights. Written descriptions this experience one subject group (26 S s) compared evaluations subjective obtained in a second (45 determined color Q‐sort technique. Results latter technique controlled...

The purpose of this study was to test if moderate vigorous physical activity (MVPA) in less than the recommended ≥10-minute bouts related weight outcomes.Secondary data analysis.Random sample from U.S. civilian noninstitutionalized population included National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES).A total 4511 adults aged 18 64 years 2003-2006 NHANES.Clinically measured body mass index (BMI) overweight/obese status were regressed on accelerometer measures minutes per day...
