Actor-Observer Effect01:23

Actor-Observer Effect

390
The actor-observer effect, a cognitive bias closely linked to the fundamental attribution error, refers to the tendency for individuals to attribute their behavior to external, situational factors while explaining others’ behavior in terms of internal, dispositional traits. This asymmetry in attribution significantly influences social perception and judgment.Cognitive Mechanisms Behind the EffectTwo primary psychological mechanisms contribute to the actor-observer effect: differences in...

Lung Capacity01:47

Lung Capacity

56.3K
The air in the lungs is measured in volumes and capacities. Lung volume measures reflect the amount of air taken in, released, or left over after a lung function, like a single inhalation. Lung capacity measures are sums of two or more lung volume measures.

Design of Columns under a Centric Load

560
The design of columns under centric load is a fundamental aspect of structural engineering and is critical for ensuring the stability and integrity of structures. Euler's and Secant's formulas are central to understanding and calculating the critical load and deformation behaviors of columns, providing a basis for safe and effective structural design.
Euler's formula is applicable under the assumption that the column is a perfect, straight, homogenous prism, and it is operating...

Bacterial Transformation01:33

Bacterial Transformation

59.9K
In 1928, bacteriologist Frederick Griffith worked on a vaccine for pneumonia, which is caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteria. Griffith studied two pneumonia strains in mice: one pathogenic and one non-pathogenic. Only the pathogenic strain killed host mice.
Griffith made an unexpected discovery when he killed the pathogenic strain and mixed its remains with the live, non-pathogenic strain. Not only did the mixture kill host mice, but it also contained living pathogenic bacteria that...

Respiratory Capacities01:24

Respiratory Capacities

1.4K
Respiratory capacities are crucial indicators of lung function, representing the maximum amount of air an individual's respiratory system can handle during various breathing phases.
One key metric is the Inspiratory Capacity (IC), which represents the maximum amount of air that can be inhaled with full effort. IC is calculated by summing the tidal volume and inspiratory reserve volume, typically ranging from 2.4 to 3.6 liters.
The Functional Residual Capacity (FRC) represents the air in the...

Movement Joints in Buildings01:27

Movement Joints in Buildings

348
Movement joints in buildings are essential design elements that accommodate inevitable motions caused by various factors such as temperature changes, moisture content variations, and structural deflections. These motions, if not considered in design and construction, can lead to unsightly or dangerous damage. Movement joints are incorporated in different forms to manage these stresses and allow materials to move without causing distress.
The simplest type of movement joints, working joints, are...

Area of Science:

  • Urban Sustainability
  • Socio-technical Transformations
  • Environmental Policy

Background:

  • Cities face increasing pressure for large-scale sustainable development.
  • Urban sustainability challenges are often linked to a deficit in individual and organizational capacity for socio-technical change.
  • Existing literature needs further development on the concept of actor-centric transformative capacity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To elucidate the concept of actor-centric transformative capacity in the context of urban sustainability.
  • To examine the role of city-university partnerships (CUPs) in fostering this capacity.
  • To identify strategies for building effective CUPs that enhance urban sustainability.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review on transformative capacity.
  • Case study analysis of two city-university partnerships in Portland, Oregon, and Tempe, Arizona.
  • Identification of determinants of actor-centric transformative capacity within these partnerships.

Main Results:

  • CUPs are identified as key catalysts for urban sustainability transformations.
  • Determinants of actor-centric transformative capacity were identified through case studies.
  • The study highlights how CUPs build transformative capacity among city administrators and university actors.

Conclusions:

  • Actor-centric transformative capacity is vital for achieving urban sustainability goals.
  • Effective CUPs are essential for developing this capacity.
  • Strategies for strengthening CUPs can accelerate socio-technical transformations for sustainability.
