Summary
Community members in South Seattle identified mobility challenges and opportunities, highlighting the need for infrastructure improvements and safe, accessible transportation options. Centering solutions on communities of color is key to advancing mobility justice and equity.
Area of Science:
- Community-based participatory research
- Urban planning and policy
- Public health and transportation equity
Background:
- Diverse South Seattle neighborhoods face unique mobility challenges.
- Community-academic-policy partnerships are crucial for addressing local needs.
Purpose of the Study:
- To examine mobility challenges and opportunities in a diverse South Seattle neighborhood.
- To center community members' experiences and recommendations in research.
Main Methods:
- Qualitative interviews with community leaders and members.
- Photovoice project with youth.
- Mobility audits and community dissemination.
Main Results:
- Key themes include built environment experiences, active transportation conflicts, safety concerns (violence, racism), and community pride.
- Infrastructure needs: enhanced public transit, better lighting, sidewalks, pavement, curb cuts, and trail maintenance.
- Community connection is vital during transportation.
Conclusions:
- Findings offer strategies to improve nonmotorized transport and public transit access, safety, and resilience for communities of color.

Active transport is a critical biological process that allows cells to move solutes against an electrochemical gradient. This process requires direct energy input and is characterized by its selectivity, saturability, and susceptibility to competitive inhibition.
Primary active transporters, like Na+, K+ and -ATPase, directly utilize ATP to move ions across the membrane. These transporters play significant roles in various physiological processes. For instance, Na+, K+ and -ATPase maintain...

A model is a theoretical way to understand a concept or an idea. Models can overcome barriers to health regardless of diverse economic and cultural backgrounds. In addition, models make the task easier by providing different ways to approach complex issues. There are two major health promotion models: the health belief model and the health promotion model.

The person's health status fluctuates continually, varying from being in good health to becoming ill and returning to being healthy. To understand the concept of illness prevention, there are two models. First, the health-illness continuum model is a graphic representation of an individual's wellness. It states that a person is considered healthy in the absence of physical disease and the presence of good emotional health.

Health promotion allows a person to control the determinants of health, resulting in an improved health status. It enhances the quality of life and reduces premature deaths. Health promotion and illness prevention programs help people make beneficial choices to reduce the risk of disease and disabilities. There are three health promotion and illness prevention levels: primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention.

01:27Movement Joints in Buildings
101
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.
