  • Sociology

Background

  • Private rental accommodation significantly contributes to urban housing supply.
  • Despite its prevalence, the private rental market is under-researched and presents dual aspects.
  • It is recognized as a problematic housing type requiring further investigation.

Purpose Of The Study

  • To investigate the complexities of the private rental housing market.
  • To identify factors contributing to its problematic features.
  • To propose recommendations for intervention and improvement.

Main Methods

  • A mixed research approach was utilized.
  • Qualitative and quantitative data were collected.
  • The study involved 384 samples.

Main Results

  • The private rental housing market has both positive impacts on housing shortages and negative aspects.
  • Regulatory and interactional facets of the market contribute to its problematic characteristics.
  • Private rentals can be a source of unsuitable accommodation.

Conclusions

  • The private rental housing market requires attention due to its dual nature.
  • Formal intervention and legislation are recommended to address regulatory and interactional dimensions.
  • Addressing these aspects can improve the quality of private rental accommodation.

Asthma-I: Introduction 01:29

2.6K

Asthma is a chronic respiratory ailment that requires careful management due to its varying symptoms and influencing factors. It is characterized by airway inflammation, bronchial hyperresponsiveness, and reversible airflow obstruction, leading to symptoms like wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and coughing. The symptom frequency and intensity may vary considerably over time. It is also linked to immune system responses to allergens and irritants, highlighting the complex...

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease-I: Introduction 01:20

2.8K

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a long-lasting respiratory condition requiring continuous attention and care. It is a progressive lung disease that leads to breathing challenges due to airflow obstruction. It manifests as persistent respiratory symptoms and restricted airflow resulting from abnormalities in the airways and alveoli, usually due to long-term exposure to harmful particles or gases. COPD mainly consists of two primary conditions: emphysema and chronic bronchitis.

Asthma-III: Symptoms and Complications 01:24

Asthma, a common chronic respiratory condition, is classified considering the frequency and severity of symptoms alongside lung function impairment. Understanding this classification is essential for appropriate treatment and management. Here's a detailed look at the classification of asthma and its clinical features and complications:
Classification of Asthma

Intermittent Asthma:

Symptoms occur fewer than twice a week.
Night-time awakenings due to asthma occur fewer than twice a...

Acute Respiratory Failure-II 01:21

192

Type I Respiratory Failure, or hypoxemic respiratory failure, occurs when the partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) in arterial blood falls below 60 mmHg while breathing room air without a corresponding increase in arterial carbon dioxide levels (PaCO2). This condition highlights a significant impairment in the lungs' capacity to oxygenate the blood.
The underlying physiological abnormalities that contribute to hypoxemic respiratory failure include:

• Ventilation-Perfusion (V/Q)...

Air-entraining Agents 01:27

Air-entraining agents improve the durability and workability of concrete in climates with frequent freezing and thawing. These agents prevent cracks by introducing small air bubbles into the mix, creating spaces accommodating water expansion when temperatures drop. The air-entraining agents lower the surface tension of water, forming stable, small air bubbles. This method is more effective than having accidental large voids, as the intentional, smaller, and evenly distributed air voids improve...
