📢 💡 TRANS-lighthouses Pilot Cases News 📰 On July 19, 2024, The Cyprus Institute and Strovolos Municipality - Δήμος Στροβόλου joined forces for the StrovoACTIONs Co-Diagnostic Workshop, part of the @TRANS-Lighthouses Strovolos Pilot program. This event brought together diverse voices to shape the future of the Pedieos Linear Park! 🌳🚶♀️🚴♂️ The workshop counted with participation from local organizations including KyklOIKOdromio, OPU, AbleBook, and Cyprus Energy Agency. The methodology included small group discussions, expert presentations, and brainstorming sessions using digital and analog tools. Participants analyzed existing challenges and proposed strategic processes to enhance the park's attractiveness and functionality for all users. This workshop is just the beginning! StrovoACTIONs will continue to empower Strovolos residents in decision-making for the Linear Park's future. The results, to be published soon, will serve as a valuable tool for the Municipality of Strovolos in addressing community needs and visions for the park's development. We're proud to contribute to a #GreenFuture through #CommunityEngagement and #NatureBasedSolutions. Let's continue to light the way with #TRANSlighthouses! 💡 #NBS #Education #Sustainability

Problem of the Day #76: In square RSTU, a quarter-circle arc with center S is drawn from T to R. A point P on this arc is 1 unit from TU and 8 units from RU. What is the length of the side of the square RSTU? The solution link is in the bio. #GeometryProblem #QuarterCircleArc #ProblemSolving #ExactScience #SquareLength

'Shaping the Future of Healthy Buildings: Insights from the launch of THRIVE' We're excited to share our recent interview with Professor Margaret Sheil AO, Vice-Chancellor and President of QUT (Queensland University of Technology), following the launch of our groundbreaking Research Centre, THRIVE. "A catalyst for revolution": The ARC Australian Research Council Training Centre for 'Advanced Building Systems Against Airborne Infection Transmission' (THRIVE) is set to position Australia as the global hub for the design of healthy buildings. This $5 million centre, officially hosted by QUT (Queensland University of Technology), aims to revolutionise building design by developing systems that actively reduce indoor airborne infection transmission while maintaining comfort and energy efficiency. At the helm is QUT (Queensland University of Technology) Distinguished Professor Lidia Morawska, a world-renowned expert in atmospheric, aerosol and exposure science in the context of building infection transmission. This initiative brings together academics, researchers, scientists, built environment professionals, industry partners, and government bodies to tackle one of our most pressing public health challenges. This interview is the first of several we conducted following the launch. Please keep an eye on our LinkedIn for more interviews to be posted in the coming days. We're keen to hear your thoughts on this exciting development. How do you see Thrive IAQ shaping the future of public health and building design? #ThriveIAQ #IAQ #HealthyBuildings #PublicHealth #COVID19 #Research #Innovation #QUT #QUTScience #QUTEngineering #QUTArchitecture

Check out this video I made about my Community-led PhD Research with the Shuar and Inishanunka.org for Queen's University Gradflix Showcase around the importance of decolonizing the production of knowledge and the importance of Indigenous science for planetary health! ’"Decolonizing the Western Centric view of the cosmos and moving toward holistic perspectives is essential to the future of life on this planet"’ (Grosfoguel, 2019, p. 206). It cannot be a coincidence that our planet's remaining flourishing ecosystems and biological hotspots have been exempt from Western colonial expansion. Indigenous Shuar communities have resisted colonial encroachment until recent decades and have been practicing their ancestral science in their territory since time immemorial. It is a fact that Indigenous peoples represent only 5 percent of the world’s population (United Nations, 2009, p. 84), yet they effectively steward the planet's remaining natural ecosystems: ‘managing 80 percent its biodiversity and 40 percent of all ecologically intact landscapes’ (Jerez, 2021, p. 1). The Cordillera de Transkutukú is 1/31 of these biological hotspots and it is the rainforest the Shuar calls home (Palacio Orejuela & Rodriguez Espinosa, 2021). I contend that this didn’t happen by accident. This biodiversity is a product of sacred Shuar science that worked to cultivate abundance and relationships with the more-than-human world in their territory for the last 40,000 years (Hammer, et al., 2013).    References:    Grosfoguel, R (2019).Conclusion. In Knowledges Born in the Struggle: Constructing the Epistemologies of the Global South. De Sousa Santos, B., & Meneses, M (Eds.). Routledge. https://lnkd.in/gCKebSZZ   Hammer, C., Jintiach, J.
