Co‐Designing a Primary Healthcare Intervention to Improve Diabetes Care in Mendoza, Argentina
BACKGROUND: In low- and middle-income countries, primary healthcare (PHC) faces significant challenges in delivering effective care for chronic conditions, exacerbated by fragmented systems, resource limitations, and inequitable access. In Argentina, despite national strategies for non-communicable diseases, implementation varies due to decentralised governance, leading to gaps in care. Here, we describe the codesign process of a contextually rel…
Evidence, alliances and technical co-production
Cycling activist initiatives build leadership and routines that sustain credibility across political cycles. • Professionalised activist associations gain access to urban transport planning processes, but they also face new bureaucratic demands. • Data functions as a pedagogical tool, making cycling patterns legible—and harder to ignore. • Alliances with universities and civil society groups translate activism into policy influence. • Upscaling i…
Proximity-centred accessibility – A conceptual debate involving planning practitioners worldwide
In recent years, the concept of proximity has garnered increasing attention in both transportation research and practice, albeit under various terms and interpretations. Among these, the concept of the 15-minute city has catalysed attention in planning practice, with recent evolution to the x-minute city and city of proximities. In research, proximity-centred accessibility has been offered as an umbrella term to express the ability to reach activ…
Factors influencing modal shift to bike sharing
With public transport (PT) systems currently heavily affected by the coronavirus pandemic, bike sharing systems (BSS) have gained a new importance as a substitute to car use in urban areas. A possible path to increase the BSS capability of replacing car trips is to understand why some car drivers are currently shifting to bike sharing. Consequently, this study analysed possible differences on the main reasons for using bike sharing between users …
Is regional accessibility undermining local accessibility
The need to improve the sustainability of daily mobility in urban areas has been high on the political agenda worldwide. One major concern has been that of the growing car dependency. The growing distance between the activities human carry out has naturally been at the root of such phenomena. Efficient transport systems and high travel speeds have enabled access to ever distant opportunities. On the flip side, such conditions have reduced the nee…

Changing student mobility behaviour under financial crisis
A dimensão estética e democrática da experiência
A continuidade entre experiência e conhecimento, ação e reflexão, indivíduo e sociedade são os fundamentos da concepção de educação na filosofia deweyana que trazem sentido para este nosso questionamento da prática pedagógica e suas relações com a arte. Analisar a educação como reconstrução contínua da experiência e pensar nos pressupostos do hábito inteligente e cooperativo de julgamento nos faz compreender melhor a função democratizante que a p…
Evaluating the Development of Culturally Relevant Teaching
This study investigates changes in beliefs about culturally relevant teaching in a re-designed early childhood program. Efficacy and beliefs favorable toward culturally relevant teaching increased, but students' prior experience with diverse others remained important. Greater programmatic support for practicing culturally relevant teaching is suggested to build upon students' apparent understanding of culturally relevant teaching
The Structural Accessibility Layer (SAL)
Urban mobility problems, such as congestion, have been threatening the quality of life, competitiveness, and sustainable development of urban areas. The need for an integrated approach to land use and transport in mobility management has been widely recognised. Accessibility measures are believed to provide a useful framework to support this integrated approach. Some of these measures can also reveal the mobility potential created by urban struct…
Critical reviews of a film
This paper presents the use of a film, «Camila», in a class-group of Spanish as a foreign language. In order to explore the deep links between language practice and social context, the author uses a personal method that discovers them, using two elements El presente trabajo aborda las definiciones de conceptos-fuerza y esquemas de conocimiento, y describe su aplicación en el análisis de un filme «Camila» en la clase de Español como lengua extranj…
The English Literacy Development of Bilingual Students Within a Transition Whole-Language Curriculum
This research project investigated the English literacy development of bilingual (English/Spanish) students beginning their formal transition into English literacy in a whole-language classroom. The curriculum consisted of four components: theme-based literacy activities, teacherreading, free reading, and free writing. Instruction was meaning-focused, and written language conventions were demonstrated through the use of contextualized mediations.…
Teachers and Family Literacy
In this article, we describe a family literacy experience created through collaboration with our university and a community agency. Working in teams, seniors and graduate students enrolled in the Early Childhood and the English as a Second Language (ESL) curriculum courses participated in weekly literacy experiences with refugee families. Student reflections reveal their fears, frustrations, joys, and new understandings from working with families…
Diversifying the curriculum
This discussion presents an approach to solving dilemmas and applies it to the question of diversifying the traditional curriculum. The discussion is organized around two options: to diversify the curriculum, or to retain the traditional curriculum. Four values — autonomous choice, truth, social welfare and promise‐keeping — are examined in connection with the options. Justification for each option is given in terms of the values upon which the o…
