In many countries increasing levels of active travel, including cycling, has become a policy aim with the co-benefits of improving health, supporting a shift away from private car use to more sustainable transport systems, reducing emissions and improving liveability and places. Our study, focussed on the early phase of the pandemic in Scotland, provides a unique context in which to examine the impact of COVID-19 work and travel restrictions on cycling levels across Scotland. Following an initial sharp reduction in cycling in the first few days of lockdown there was a large increase in cycling in the initial lockdown phase on all routes, but particularly on leisure routes. Better weather and COVID-related restrictions were independently associated with increases in cycling. Cycling levels rose during lockdown when there was less motorised traffic on the roads and people had more opportunities to travel and exercise locally. As COVID restrictions were relaxed, accompanied by more cars on the roads, levels of cycling reduced. Cycling on commuting routes was much less affected by these relaxations and by weather effects. Active travel investment in Scotland is increasing and this study shows that given the right conditions more people will choose to cycle. The lessons from the pandemic period can help in making the transition to a low-carbon, active and sustainable transport system. The availability of open data cycle counts was central to this study but further development of monitoring data is needed to measure the impact of increased investment in cycling.

Transportation impacts population health through air pollution, traffic injuries and physical activity. In the cities of low-and-middle income countries, where travel patterns are rapidly changing, the understanding of these impacts on health is limited. We estimate the health loss among adults (≥15 years) that can be attributed to motorised transportation systems and health benefits attributed to active travel in New Delhi in the year 2014. We show that under baseline transport patterns, health loss is dominated by road traffic injuries (170,000 Disability-Adjusted Life Years, DALYs), which is about three times the burden due to traffic-related fine particulate matter (PM2.5) pollution (~64,000 DALYs). Baseline use of active travel, on the other hand, prevents health burden (~90,000 DALYs), which is as large as 40% of the combined health loss due to injuries and vehicular air pollution. Next, we estimate the effect of changing Delhi’s travel modal shares to that of London, New York City and Amsterdam. For these scenarios, we limited to the impact on injuries and physical activity. In all scenarios, there is additional health burden due to traffic injuries and reduced physical activity, and the former exceeds the latter. Greater motorisation in the future is likely to result in large burden of health due to injuries and reduced physical activity. Small reductions in active travel has the potential to negate health benefits from large reductions in traffic emissions. There is an urgent need to develop an alternative pathway of development that is not based on greater use of private motor vehicles.

In this article we discuss the collection and nature of diversity data relating to origin (ethnicity, race, nationality, indigeneity), gender/sex and disability in higher education institutional workforces across 24 locations within Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America, North America and Oceania. The research emerges from the Curtin Open Knowledge Initiative project (n.d.), in which we analyse data relating to published research literature, its open access status, citations and collaborations for institutions, publishers and research funding bodies. Our project explores demographic data relating to workforce diversity and research production; we examine who creates knowledge and how diversity is transmitted through research. Collecting and analysing higher education workforce demographic diversity data reveals a global datascape with considerable variation in practices and data collected. The data reflect political and social histories, national and international policies and practices, priorities and funding. The presence and absence of public data provide an opportunity to understand differing national situations and priorities beneath the statistics. We open a conversation about how the concepts of equity, diversity and inclusion differ between groups of countries, which makes global comparisons difficult. By identifying higher education data and gaps, we also encourage institutions and countries to review their workforce demographics and their intersection with research production. Awareness of institutional diversity levels through data analysis can guide institutions towards knowledge openness.

This is an editorial introduction to the Open Library of Humanities Special Collection on Utopian Art and Literature from Modern India, which has a major focus on literary and filmic imaginings of utopia and dystopia, with the majority of articles examining texts from the period before the Partition and independence of India in 1947. We show how the collection is part of the current scholarly endeavour to recognize the wealth of non-Eurocentric utopian and dystopian texts in literature. The introduction captures key themes such as the rural and the urban, discussed in the collection, and points out the scholarly innovation of paying sustained attention to literature written in bhashas (vernacular Indian languages) in both utopian and dystopian modes, and of analysing the work of classic Modernist writers from 20th-century India, such as Satinath Bhaduri and Tarasankar Bandopadhyay.

Promotion of active travel is a fixture in transport policy and planning. Yet, this paper argues, walking and the availability of comprehensive and accessible pedestrian environments have an importance for mobility justice and sustainability which is not currently recognised. The paper investigates how and why walking provision matters for justice, and explores what this means for decision-making affecting mobility systems and the built environment. It begins with an argument that a coherent conception of mobility justice would be simultaneously concerned with environmental and social implications of transport since both affect people’s physical lives, welfare and flourishing. That requirement frames the types of mobility systems which could be compatible with justice, and points to a need for prioritisation of active travel far beyond current policy and practice. Specifically, the need for environmental sustainability coupled with social inclusion creates a case for systematically prioritising provision for walking over other mobility. This means the removal of all forms of barriers to walking so that no one is excluded by severance, impassable surfaces or lack of safety.

Walking is widely promoted as a healthy and sustainable way to get around. Still, although the benefits of walking are undisputed, it is equally known that most people walk much less than they could and should do. This article explores this discrepancy from the angle of human behaviour change processes and applies a theoretically grounded systematics for identifying the most important barriers against walking. This is followed by a description of behaviour types and related behaviour change motives to inspire strategies and arguments to address different types of target groups. The proposed framework can support the selection of measures and strategies to increase walking in different environments and addressing specific social groups.

Washing our hands regularly is extremely important to keep up with sanitation and to prevent ourselves from sickness, and we follow this standard consistently in this period because of the current pandemic crisis. Accordingly, People all around the world have normalized the significance of sanitation and disinfecting surfaces and objects in the area. Sanitation does not usually erase microbes, but instead lessens their presence by removing them. The number of microbes lessened from a surface is quite dependent on type of material and product used to sanitize the area. Hence, we have come up with an object that is not only capable of wiping out the microbes completely but also it is cost effective. The corona virus is transmitted by people coming in contact with each other. This virus lives on variety of surfaces, but we can cleanse it by using various disinfecting and sterilizing products. It is therefore very important that people realize the necessity of sanitizing almost all the surfaces and objects in the environment around us. For example, people working in various sectors including dispensaries, hotels, shopping complexes, salons etc. to maintain hygienic environment. Keeping in mind, several devices have been designed for sanitizing hands and objects and increasing the need creating more such systems in affordable manner. Taking these areas into consideration, we planned to construct a sensor-based product which will play an essential role. Hence, we thought of a unique concept and worked on this latest technology using UV lamps for disinfecting the germs, viruses etc. This solution will not only be innovative but also conveyable so that it is ready to carry.

Geriatric people are more prone to physiological imbalances due to the effect of aging. They face many problems in their day to day life which are needed to be solved before any serious complication arises. Most of the geriatric people are not getting adequate healthcare especially in case of old age homes the manager has to visit them in person to check their condition. Thus, providing them with remote and quick access to healthcare has become crucial. Our work focuses on, design of Internet of Things based vital parameter monitor for geriatric people along with Ambulance alert system. This device helps the old age home managers to monitor the condition of the patients with the help of an application. Based on Internet of Things technology, the application gets the temperature and SpO2 data of a patient and in case of emergency, nearby ambulances are tracked and alerted to save the lives. In addition, it will also be useful for contactless monitoring of patients who are affected by COVID-19 virus.

The wheelchair and stretcher are very widely used in hospitals, airports, train stations, shopping malls, etc. This design here is a modified wheelchair stretcher as needed. This machine converts the wheelchair into a stretcher. The chair transforms into a stretcher when the levers are operated. The stretchers can be detached from the main frame according to the convenience of the patient and doctors can make it easier Access to the patient with less effort and transport The folding mechanism enables a large number of stretchers arranged in chair form to be accommodated in a comparatively smaller space. in hospitals, patients have to be moved from a wheelchair to a stretcher, from a stretcher to a bed, from a bed to a wheelchair or vice versa; which creates unsafe conditions for patients. A wheelchair stretcher is required to facilitate mobility for the disabled patient.
