Mobility can involve many barriers that make it challenging for individuals with disabilities to travel. When it is a child who has a disability, the whole family's mobility practices can be affected by those barriers since families' mobilities are often intertwined. This paper is based on time-use diaries and interviews with parents of wheelchair-using children living in Sweden. A time-geographical framework is used in the paper, especially focusing on the concept of coupling constraints, which can emerge when individuals need to be together to perform an activity, such as mobility. The main focus is on how coupling constraints between parents and the disabled child affect mobilities, but the findings show that couplings also exist with authorities and things and these can increase coupling constraints within the family. However, if being eligible for personal assistance and special transport service the coupling constraints within the family can decrease, indicating that such support systems are fundamental for these families' mobilities. This paper also shows that time geography can be useful for disability studies and add new dimensions to the relational perspective on disability. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article proposes the concept of ‘chronopolitics’ as a heuristic for a kind of decolonial imagination in migration studies, one that insists on structural changes as opposed to those relational ones that dominate the field. The article argues that migration scholars should question the coloniality of key concepts they use in their work to understand how the ‘solutions’ they propose (re)embed a colonial world and view. Building on previous critiques of migration studies, the article proposes that a chronopolitical argument to decolonising migration studies reveals the intrinsic connectivity of temporal and geographical linkages, in order to relate migration research epistemologies to ontological problems. This can allow the migration discourse to move beyond the centre, to address the current ‘black burden’ of ambivalent academic positioning and predominant methodological and conceptual approaches to migration studies. In these ways, chronopolitics adds conceptually to an underexplored debate in the field. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Just before the First World War, the largest French shipping line operating in the Indo-Pacific, the Compagnie des Messageries Maritimes, reported that 44 percent of its personnel were non-Europeans. Made up of French colonial subjects and foreign citizens, this workforce hailed from across the layover ports of the empire's Indo-Pacific steamship highways. Portrayed by French labor leaders as strikebreaking scabs, and by the large shipping companies as docile peons, these "indigenous" seafarers were largely erased from French imperial and labor history before the First World War. Mobilizing archives from France, the United Kingdom, and Vietnam, especially ships' logs from the 1880s to the 1910s, this article reassesses the place of the French empire's Asian and African seafarers within an intensifying labor movement and an incipient imperial security state. Revisiting everything from mobile acts of outright rebellion to subtly assertive practices of placemaking, the article argues that indigenous seafarers had begun forging a disruptive politics of mobile labor well before the First World War. Their ability to wield power in the face of stigmatization and precarization, the article suggests, points to the underexplored tensions between the "New Imperial" French state and the subcontracted shipping lines on which it depended.

Various measures to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 have altered mobility flows worldwide and caused people to adopt new ways of being and moving in public space. These changes have been considerably pronounced across modes of public transportation. This paper explores the experiences of individuals who continued riding and working in public transport throughout the pandemic to yield insight into changing mobility meanings and grounded realities of urban mobility processes in the context of COVID-19 and beyond. Through the combined analysis of ethnographic fieldwork, participant observations and interviews, the paper unpacks lived experiences of riding and working in public transport in the city of Amsterdam during lockdown by addressing the changed nature of embodied encounters and mobile sociability in public transit. Findings denote that COVID-19 has altered the conditions of mobile sociability in spaces of public transport, and has produced complex experiences of daily travel with others involving mutually negative and positive impressions. As a result, we argue that when challenged by COVID-19 related restrictions, mobile sociability and fleeting encounters on the move significantly shape the experience of traveling with others in ways that call into question how we think of public transport as a social space in cities.

The importance of mobility in Canada's history can hardly be overstated. The built waterways, railways, and roadways that allowed for the movement of peoples, goods, and ideas within the country have long been considered cultural icons conveying collective ideas of Canadian identity. Yet, little has been written on the history of the modern construction machines that made this mobility infrastructure possible after Confederation, along with their designers, manufacturers, and operators. This article helps fill that gap by examining the technological development, manufacturing, and commercialization of earthmoving equipment in Canada (especially Ontario) in the 1860s-1920s, a period of great construction activity, including two of the world's largest civil engineering and earthmoving projects and one of the fastest-expanding road networks in North America. It discusses the role of the federal, provincial, and municipal governments in developing, adopting, and disseminating this technology, and their ultimate reliance on American manufacturers despite the National Policy's protectionism. This article supports the argument that technological development in Canada during the Second Industrial Revolution was continentally integrated in ways that involved technological dialogue with American companies, associations, and publications. While this manufacturing sector became dominated by American corporations by the First World War, the extent to and manner by which that happened varied depending on the type of machinery and the construction sectors in which they were used. The technological transition from steam-powered machines to electric, gasoline, and diesel motors and how it impacted Canadian manufacturers are also discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Amaç: Replantasyon; periodontal desteğini kaybetmiş dişlerin kanal tedavisinin tamamlanmasının ardından, bilinçli olarak çekilerek, çekim soketine tekrar yerleştirilmesi olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Bu sayede hastanın estetik ve fonksiyonu tekrardan sağlanmış olur. Bu vaka raporunda maksiller santral kesici dişin replantasyonunun 10 aylık klinik ve radyolojik raporu sunulmuştur. Olgu: Sistemik olarak sağlıklı sigara içmeyen 41 yaşında kadın hasta santral kesici dişinde mobilite ve ilgili bölgede diş eti kanaması şikâyeti ile kliniğimize başvurdu. Hastanın klinik ve radyolojik muayenesi sonucu dişte şiddetli periodontal yıkım, derin periodontal patolojik cepler ve buna eşlik eden Miller sınıf III mobilite tespit edildi. Detertraj, kök yüzey düzleştirmesi ve oral hijyen eğitimini içeren Faz1 periodontal tedavi sırasında ilgili dişin kök kanal tedavisi tamamlandı. Reimplantasyon işlemine dişin atravmatik olarak çekimi ile başlandı, dişin extraoral olarak kök yüzeyindeki sementin tamamen uzaklaştırılmasına dikkat edilerek kök yüzey düzleştirmesi gerçekleştirildi. Daha sonra diş 5dk tetrasiklin HCI (100mg/ml) solüsyonunda bekletildi. Steril salin solüsyununda yıkandıktan sonra çekim soketine yerleştirildi, komşu dişlerle birlikte geçici olarak splintlendi. 2 haftalık geçici splint işleminden sonra daimî fiber destekli splint yapıldı. Bulgular: 10 aylık takip sonunda ilgili bölgede inflamasyonun çözüldüğü, ceplerin elimine olduğu ve radyolojik olarak belirgin kemik kazanımının olduğu görülmüştür. Bu süre boyunca herhangi bir komplikasyon gelişmediği ve hastanın tedaviden memnun olduğu kaydedilmiştir. Sonuç: Periodontal olarak umutsuz dişlerin replantasyonunun, kısa sürede tamamlanması, ekonomik olması, estetiğin sağlanabilmesi ve aynı zamanda kemik rezorpsiyonunu engelleyip, kemik kazanımı sağlayarak gelecek implant cerrahisini olumlu etkilemesi nedeniyle kayda değer bir tedavi yaklaşımı olduğu düşünülmektedir. Anahtar Kelimeler: Fiberle güçlendirilmiş splint, mobilite, periodontitis, replantasyon

This paper problematizes the neglect of spatiality and materiality of international branch campuses in extant studies and challenges the predominant representation of transnational education students merely in terms of their corporeal immobility. Based on a case study of a UK international branch campus in China, this paper incorporates interview narratives and ethnographic observations to reveal the students' experiences and imaginations, and to delineate the unique texture of the spatiality of the campus. In examining the dynamic interrelations between imagination, materiality, and (im)mobility in transnational educational spaces, this paper highlights the students' imaginative process, in which spatial imagination and imaginative space (re)produce each other and are complicated by the various sources of power at play. The international branch campus thus functions as an infrastructure of im/mobilities, which is both locally embedded and transnationally connected; it enables students' imaginative mobilities, transforming them into 'imaginative travellers' who have never physically been abroad but whose being and belonging are constantly negotiated by their everyday experiences in a mobile educational space.

This article delves into the everyday dynamics of colonial rule to outline a novel way of understanding colonized–colonizer interactions. It conceives colonial management as a social field in which both the colonized and colonizers negotiate and exchange resources, despite their decidedly unequal positions within a racial hierarchy. Drawing their example from the West Bank, the authors argue that a Palestinian economic elite has proactively participated in the co-production of the colonial management of spatial mobility, a central component of Israeli colonial rule. The study employs interviews and document analysis to investigate how the nexus between Palestine's commercial-logistical needs and Israel's security complex induced large-scale Palestinian producers to exert agency and reorder commercial mobility. The authors describe and explain the evolution of a 'Door-to-Door' logistical arrangement, in which large-scale Palestinian traders participate in extending Israeli's system of spatial control in exchange for facilitating logistical mobility. This horizontal social encounter that entails pay-offs is conditioned, but not fully determined, by vertical relations of domination and subordination. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Using the case of the mobile preschool we focus on how children's prosthetic citizenship is constructed in relation to notions of mobility and place in the accounts of Swedish mobile preschool professionals. Mobile preschools are preschools in buses that visit different places in and around the city on an everyday basis. Analysis of interviews and workshop discussions with mobile preschool professionals shows how three different conceptualisations of children's 'proper' citizenship operate in parallel in these accounts – children as 'not-yet-citizens', children as 'not-here-citizens' and children as 'here-and-now-citizens'. These different conceptualisations are constructed in relation to the everyday mobility of the mobile preschool and notions of places as more or less beneficial for children's proper future and Swedish citizenship, and reveal how mobility is not only a consequence of citizenship relations but also constitutive of them. This paper contributes to knowledge on how mobility and notions of place constitute ideas on citizenship, and how forms and geographies of mobility produce subjects as more or less citizen.

'Public' toilets are crucial to our social and geographical landscape, and access to them has become prominent in recent public and academic debates. Drawing on a qualitative study based on 25 daily diaries and follow-up interviews with people living with the common health condition irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), this paper explores toilet access through the lens of mundane mobilities. Planning journeys, mapping toilets, a reliance on commercial toilets and intersections with travel were key themes emerging from the study. Through the lens of IBS, we see how navigations of seemingly everyday mobilities are problematised through the bodily precarity of unpredictable symptoms intertwined with the availability, comfort and knowledge of 'public' toilets. This paper works at demonstrating the interdependency between everyday mobilities and toilet access. IBS offers a particularly useful insight in which the common but often hidden nature of the condition demonstrates the multiplicities of 'public' toilet access and how the unpredictability of access meets with, and is embodied, by those with the condition. This paper contributes to interdisciplinary toilet scholarship by engaging in mundane and embodied geographies and centralises toilets as a site of connection for those studying everyday mobilities.

This article illustrates how rural margins and urban-rural relations in southwest Tanzania join up with transnational trade routes for Chinese goods. It examines the trade of low-cost imported goods from China (plastic sandals, cheap jewellery, various fashion accessories, cheap clothing, etc.) that are widely spread in Tanzania, up into the peripheral countryside. By examining the concept of trade routes, the article contributes to the literature on urban-rural relations in African Studies and 'inconspicuous globalisation' by proposing a contrary perspective, where rural areas viewed as areas of consumption of imported products. It then rescales the globalization analysis by situating urban-rural relations at the heart of local and global interconnections. The article demonstrates that geographically peripheral places and actors have a capacity to influence the direction of the global trade route as they combine complementarities between the urban-rural continuum and topological continuity of networks from local to global. The global trade geography is profoundly influenced by what goes on in its inconspicuous tentacles in upcountry regions, such as the Uporoto Mountains, where the global trade route relies on the dynamism of local agriculture, which is increasingly merging with other livelihoods. This is exemplified by the complementarities between trade and agriculture in terms of livelihood, circulation of capital, urban-rural mobility, and links to global scales, which highlight the de-agrarianization process and the development of a mass consumption society.

The comparatively cheap and mechanically accessible Chinese dakadaka diesel engines and their shotteur Z-drives have enabled wooden baleinières to significantly impact waterborne mobility, trade and transportation on the Congo River and its tributaries. While baleinières are artisanal watercraft made of local building materials, their engines are globally circulating technologies, which are able to unfold their economic, hydrodynamic and socio-technical affordances thanks to a number of local technical adaptations. On the basis of ethnographic fieldwork in Tshopo province (DR Congo) foregrounding the engines' use, the article discusses the adaptations the Chinese engines and their propulsion system undergo to enable a felicitous engagement of their intrinsic engineered forces with the muscular, natural, and social forces present in their local riverine habitat. While this entanglement of forces depends on the distributed character of collective onboard engine care, it also encourages the emergence of baleinière owners (armateurs) as a new group of local entrepreneurs. These insights help us understand why, despite frequent breakdowns, the engines and the boats they propel enable and democratize the access to new forms of connectivity and mobility for large parts of Congo's riverine and travelling urban populations. In a context of enduring economic precarity, the technical intervention of 'removing (the engine's) backward gear' (Li. kolongola marche arrière) is therefore also of metaphoric significance.

The purpose of this article is to analyse the innovative vision of the condition of the emigrant proposed by Thuận, a Vietnamese author exiled to France, in her latest novel Thư gửi Mina [Letters to Mina] (2019). After analysing the importance of the concept of mobility in the work, the article restricts the field of study to the emigration during the last years of the Cold War, being most of the characters from former communist countries. In order to develop the theme, the article finally aims to study the reflection advanced by the writer regarding the condition of emigrant by proposing three conceptual categories corresponding to three characters of the novel.

While many urban policies and practices claim to offer an "alternative" to the "mainstream" of urban entrepreneurialism, they remain under‐theorised and prone to alignment with entrepreneurial agendas. In this paper I examine fare‐free public transport (FFPT) as a salient example of an alternative urban policy. Looking at Aubagne (France) and Tallinn (Estonia), I explore what happens when an alternative policy "comes to town". I detect how FFPT enters local urban regimes, and study the (non‐)participation of public transport passengers and workers in the decision‐making process about whether and how to abolish public transport fares. My analysis reveals that albeit alternative policies such as FFPT seem to oppose entrepreneurialism, they may hinge on urban regimes that span across institutions, leave the local configurations of power unchallenged, and strenghten local elites. The adaptability of alternatives to diverse political and intellectual positions explains their resilience. Consequently, their radical character cannot be taken for granted and remains an object of political struggle. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Biosecurity restrictions regulate the types of materials that international travellers can bring into certain countries. Australia is well known in international travel cultures for stringent customs regulations and checks on all incoming passengers. This blanket approach to biosecurity governance implies that all materials, even banal personal possessions or luggage, pose a potential threat to the nation's biosecurity. This article explores how individuals prepare for and experience declaring personal belongings while migrating to and entering Australia. Drawing from interviews with recently arrived migrants on temporary visas, analysis of the required customs declaration card and government information, I highlight the inconsistencies of how materials, and the people who carry them, come under close scrutiny at the border. The findings show that the stringent surveillance of biosecurity perpetuates perceived risks and threats, relying on stereotypes of certain migrant and traveller profiles in the way biosecurity is promoted, monitored and enforced. Biosecurity manifests social, spatial, and material concerns in how it is performed and regulated, thereby transforming passive materials in a person's luggage into active threats to national security, further complicating the rigid governance of international mobility and migration.

Résumé : L’un des principes du développement repose sur la construction ou la reconstruction des routes en vue de faciliter la mobilité sociale. En posant ce postulat, la route, subséquemment, les différentes dénominations qui justifient la mobilité et/ou l’immobilité, (la rue, la voie, le boulevard ou l’avenue entre autres) se présentent comme un espace indispensable au couronnement d’un progrès certain. C’est la question de l’urbanisation qui est ainsi posée puisqu’elle impacte inévitablement les contingences sociopolitiques, culturelles, économiques, artistiques et littéraires de toute société. Dès lors, la rue, élément essentiel de l’urbanisation, constitue indéniablement un espace dont les fonctions semblent s’adapter à l’usage que l’on en fait. Le foisonnement des rues dans L’herbes des nuits de Patrick Modiano suscite une somme d’interrogations qui, elles-mêmes, suggèrent une lecture plurielle de cette abondance de voies de la liberté d’aller et de venir au-delà du tourniquet intellectuel imposé au lecteur. Si les rues évoquées dans l’œuvre ci-dessus mentionnée constituent des motifs inspirant l’écriture de l’auteur, il convient d’y voir également une forme d’expression scripturale d’un principe cher à la mondialisation, c’est-à-dire la rupture de toutes les barrières quelles qu’en soient les formes. L’objectif de cet article est de montrer que les rues, en plus d’être une exigence de développement, elles constituent une voie de ruptures des barrières entre les hommes.

El artículo tiene como objetivo abordar algunas lógicas en los movimientos y espacios de tránsito en América Latina entre 2015 y 2021. Este período se ha caracterizado no solo por el aumento acelerado de la movilidad humana en la región, sino también por la adopción y la diversificación de los enfoques de securitización − externalización de políticas y desterritorialización de fronteras − que surgen como respuesta a sus desplazamientos. A partir de una revisión documental y el análisis de la movilidad humana en países del Triángulo Norte, Venezuela y Haití, se determina que esta situación restrictiva ha generado, en el caso de la migración sur-norte, el fortalecimiento de las «fronteras verticales» y, en el caso de la migración intrarregional, la diversificación de formas de movilidad y el fortalecimiento de los espacios de tránsito; pero también el posterior desmantelamiento de estos últimos por cuenta del impacto de las restricciones para contener la expansión del Covid 19 en los ingresos y oportunidades de subsistencia de los migrantes.

This article examines representations of polar cruise tourism in the Northwest Passage as climate change extends the geographic range of open waters and increases the number of ice-free days in the Canadian Arctic. It connects current cruise promotion to earlier exploration histories and investigates the paradoxes that arise in the drive to bear witness to climate change while accelerating its impacts through carbon-intensive travel. It also examines some of the ways that Franklin expedition tourism in particular is being used to reinforce claims of Canadian sovereignty over Arctic resources. Overall, the promotion of this kind of maritime tourism highlights many of the key fault lines between visitor expectations and geophysical and cultural realities in a changing North, raising doubts about whether expanded development of such tourism can succeed in creating climate change ambassadors. The article concludes that the potential for developing cross-cultural environmental justice solidarities depends in significant measure on the tourism industry's greater inclusion of Inuit perspectives that understand the Arctic not merely as a place to travel through, but as a homeland of earth, sea, and the shifting ice between.

Research on mental health geographies and housing has focused on pattern and distribution, rather than social and cultural constructions of home. Here we attempt to understand meanings and roles of home for individuals with mental illness in the UK within the context of a deep-seated housing crisis. The discussion is sharpened by the notion of the ambiguous home, ranging from a place for retreat, separation or even isolation from the world, with experiences of recovery, stability or wellness, to home as something more negative, in which distress or illness flourished, and in which people became entrapped or from which they sought relief. Three themes crosscut this range of experiences: home as material object; home as relational; and home as rhythm. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper compares current evidence for Mesolithic adaptations along the north Spanish coast from Galicia in the west to the Basque Country in the east. Significant questions and issues pertinent to Mesolithic research are reviewed, followed by a brief discussion of advances in method and theory over the past 25 years. Cantabria, País Vasco, and Galicia are compared with each other and en bloc with evidence from the middle Ebro over the 12-6 ka BP interval considered to bracket the transition between foraging and domestication economies. Marked differences in the time-space grid, geology, and the resolution of the data hinder these comparisons. A radiocarbon database totaling 610 dates is compiled, cleaned, filtered and analyzed for each region individually using summed calibrated date probability distribution (SPD) curves as a proxy for population density fluctuations over time. Regional curves are then compared with each other and with a global model. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Given that our urban centres have been dominated by the private car for a hundred years, this paper asks what is next for Canadian cities. Previous research on the future of urban mobility, and specifically city planning and autonomous vehicles, has been from an American or Australian context. Working from a uniquely Canadian perspective, this paper fills a gap in the research by analyzing data from twenty-six semi-structured interviews with Canadian planning professionals from Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary, Winnipeg and Toronto. The interviews discuss how Canadian planners are preparing for new technologies, including autonomous vehicles, and increased privatization. We recommend that large cities move forward with autonomous vehicle research with a goal of improving mobility for all, while ensuring a strong agreement framework with all for-profit mobility providers is in place that requires robust data sharing agreements and appropriate consultation with municipalities before, during, and after launching. Further, planners should further embrace the political realities of their positions and advocate for equitable mobility for all residents both in their day-to-day work and in public engagement settings.

Dans le roman québécois, les motifs de l’exil (volontaire ou forcé) et de l’éloignement existent dans un continuum sociohistorique et critique. Longtemps liés à l’identité, ils engageraient aujourd’hui des questionnements plus susceptibles de transcender les frontières culturelles et sociales, quelque chose qui toucherait à l’humain dans son essence, à sa manière d’appréhender le monde et son existence. C’est donc dans l’intention de tester cette proposition que nous investiguons l’imaginaire romanesque de Jocelyne Saucier, un univers qui habitent une quantité phénoménale de nomades dont les incessants déplacements croisent et décroisent les motifs de liberté et de mort. Les enjeux narratifs et poétiques de la mobilité seront exposés à travers la dimension temporelle des déplacements des personnages ainsi que leur caractère existentiel, à savoir la motivation à l’origine de leur excentrement.

Cet article concerne le sujet du monde rural au prisme de la mobilité. En France, comme dans la majorité des pays développés, les personnes âgées souffrent d’un extrême isolement. C’est particulièrement vrai en zone rurale : la population y est plus âgée, plus précaire, plus dépendante de la voiture, plus éloignée des services. Pour les personnes âgées, le moment de la déprise automobile constitue une rupture du point de vue de la mobilité, et donc de la vie sociale. Depuis longtemps, Auxilia s’est intéressé aux enjeux de mobilité des seniors en zone rurale. Cet article propose de tirer des leçons de missions réalisées au sein d’Auxilia, en les mettant en perspective avec des travaux de chercheurs portant sur les personnes âgées, le monde rural et la mobilité. Dans quelle mesure les solutions alternatives à la voiture individuelle déployées dans les territoires ruraux rencontrent-elles les personnes âgées ? Comment concilient-elles les différents objectifs et différents publics qui leur sont attribués ? Nous chercherons à répondre à ces questions en analysant dans un premier temps le cas d’un service rural pensé spécifiquement pour les personnes âgées, puis en ouvrant dans un second temps à d’autres solutions adressées à un public plus large.

L’expérience littéraire de mobilité offerte par les mises en fictions des modes de transports modernes à partir des révolutions industrielles européennes se construit autour de notions (intérieur et extérieur, mobilité et immobilité, continuité et séparation, fragmentation, présence et absence à soi) qui permettent, dans la perspective d’une poétique historique, de mettre en contexte les mobilités contemporaines et de comprendre comment la fiction, et en particulier le roman, met en scène des personnages qui cherchent dans l’expérience même du déplacement la liberté de réorganiser leur expérience de vie.

People experiencing homelessness are simultaneously socially and physically mobile. Individuals move through periods of housing stability and houselessness and varying degrees of financial (in)stability, and between different geographic spaces. Research concerning homeless mobilities emphasizes moves within cities and reveals seven factors deserving attention: housing; labour markets; social, health, and justice services; personal health; the attributes of different places; interpersonal networks; and how mobility is socially differentiated. However, the extent to which these factors shape homelessness and inter‐regional mobilities is unclear. Addressing this gap, I explore 612 people's moves using data collected from five Canadian cities. By analyzing participants' inter‐regional moves over ten years, I identify ten themes of homeless inter‐regional mobility in Canada including: interpersonal networks, the attributes of different places, labour markets and personal finances, the use of movement for personal growth, health and social services, residential mobilities, legal and health institutions, substance abuse and dependence, personal security, and travel. I find that the structures, institutions, resources, and personal experiences that produce homelessness simultaneously push people between places. Amidst an increasing emphasis aimed at understanding homeless experiences in Canada, this paper provides an overview of the inter‐regional mobilities of people experiencing homelessness in Canada. Key Messages: Examining mobility clarifies why people become and remain homeless.People move between different regions in Canada as a way to cope with housing precarity and homelessness.Social connections, the influence of different places, and personal finances also drive people to move between different locations.

This study critically examines how development interventions are imagined for singular places and subjects through a political process of product scripting that reconfigures the socio-technical meaning of second-hand objects from unwanted commodities to solutions that are appropriate for sub-Saharan Africa. Tracing the flow of second-hand goods demonstrates how development subjects are imagined to be adult, economically productive, rural beings. The paper finds that the second-hand mountain bicycle is inserted into an imagined place with a predetermined purpose that does not attend to alternative and heterogeneous urban and rural identities and needs. The paper highlights the compromises undertaken in designing development interventions as they are entangled with processes of waste recycling, commodification and philanthropy.

The impact of transport on climate change is becoming increasingly significant, making switching to sustainable vehicles an important step in emission reduction. The use of electric vehicles could be stimulated by a large network of charging stations. However, in Brussels, this network is still limited. In this paper, we propose two complementary methods that can support the deployment of a charging infrastructure. The analysis for public occasional charging is a point of interest (POI) based approach as it demonstrates that the accessibility of the charging infrastructure is improved if charging stations are installed at important Brussels mobility poles. Locations for public residential charging are identified by means of location models that take into account demand forecasts for EVs. The resulting roll-out is first pushed through where the estimated EV adoption is high and then spreads evenly across the entire Region. The combination of both methods offers a solution for residents (location models), as well as for visitors or commuters (POI approach).

Working without fixity, while historically prevalent, has been on the rise in Canada and throughout the world due to processes associated with advanced capitalism. Moreover, it implies mobility to, from, and within work, which in a time of COVID-19, is problematic for workers and communities alike. In this paper, we argue that our pre-COVID statistical knowledge of workers without a fixed place of work in Canada is inadequate. Using the best source of available data--the 2016 Census--we provide a thorough account of these workers as compared to those with a set place of work. We find that most individuals without a fixed workplace are male, have low income, are likely to be self-employed, have a higher proportion of employment insurance (EI) and self-employment income, and have college or on-the-job training skill levels. They are also likely to live in rural areas, and work in the construction or transportation industry. We argue that documenting which workers are most likely to be working without fixity is necessary to understand how a COVID-19 world will play out for these workers and their communities as the pandemic continues and beyond.

Public transportation in Kampala city; face various challenges and thus cannot offer the quality of services desired by the public. This is affecting the quality of life Kampala City residents. The main purpose of this study was to find out the effects of public transport on the quality of life of residents of Kampala City. The findings indicated that, in the short term; travel safety, enforcing parking policies, dedicated lanes and increased use of intelligent transport systems have greater impact on public transport with less cost. The medium-term solutions include; the use of broadcasting stations, road expansion and, extension and improving travel time. The long-term solutions include the use of traffic signals, reliability, mass transport, construction of new arterial roads and new freeways. Therefore, the study recommends that the Kampala Capital City Authority puts more emphasis on infrastructure improvement by prioritizing investment in road maintenance, construction and upgrading unpaved roads and installing traffic signals on all junctions to enhance development and good living in the city.

Les causes de la migration des jeunes africains scrutées dans diverses études jusqu’à lors ne tiennent presque pas en compte l’opinion des érudits africains. Or ceux-ci sont les mieux placés pour expliquer certains faits sociaux par la prise en compte d’aspects historiques et culturels, une connaissance affinée de la conception du monde organisatrice de ces communautés dont ils sont des experts. Dans ce présent texte, le cas ethnographique des Bamiléké nous permet à titre d’exemple, de découvrir d’autres facteurs, voire termes plus intéressants liés à ce phénomène de migration. Il explique également le paradoxe de savoir pourquoi ce sont plutôt ceux qui partent qui disposent de ressources financières tout en arborant les difficultés économiques comme raison de leur émigration.

This article examines the narratives of two Venezuelan migrants who have engaged in multi-stage migration practices in order to optimise their long-term living options in Australia. I show how they deploy a range of tactics to negotiate risk and uncertainty under the spatial, temporal and institutional conditions of temporary migration programs by moving to regional areas, drawing on friendship networks and continuously responding to shifting immigration policy. I argue that time spent on temporary visas is actively and intentionally used by migrants in order to create future migration possibilities and security for themselves in contexts where migration outcomes can be unpredictable. As temporary migrants they are subject to policies designed to meet the needs of global capital and skills shortages but they are also reasoning individuals who tactically pursue opportunities, put down roots and continually evaluate and readjust their plans and fall back positions, even within a relatively limited range of choices.

Whilst workplace mobility (i.e., working from a variety of locations) has become an area of study in its own right, and has increasingly gained media attention, little is known about how prevalent or novel it is. In this paper we use Census place of work data to obtain insights into the prevalence and growth of this phenomenon in Canada's ten largest Census Metropolitan Areas (CMAs). These data do not capture all dimensions of workplace mobility, but are the best currently available to assess it population‐wide. We show that workplace mobility has increased modestly since 1996, and that it is particularly prevalent in sectors such as construction, and amongst less qualified workers. Knowledge workers, to the extent they are mobile, tend to work from home. These results do not capture fine‐grained mobility within the working day (which may indeed be increasing), but demonstrate that these finer grained mobilities have not fundamentally impacted the types of workplace that jobs are attached to. Key Messages: With the advent of workplace mobility there is a sense that people no longer work from traditional locations: knowledge workers in particular are thought to have flown the coop.However, the few studies that examine this trend population‐wide suggest that changes in work location are in fact occurring at a fairly slow pace.We confirm this slow pace, which does not preclude possible increases in mobility during the day nor more work from non‐traditional locations outside working hours.

In 2014, the unexpected discovery of some mass graves shed light on the earliest days of the newly founded city of Saint Petersburg. The graves could be dated to the beginning of the 18th century, and analyses of the 255 excavated skeletons indicate that the individuals buried there were some of the workers who were forced to the construction sites and contributed tobuilding early Saint Petersburg. In this article, we aim to examine the possible origins of the workers and their general living conditions, including pathologies, diet and nutrition. For this, we will use various methods from archaeology, anthropology and isotopic analyses, and we will give some insights into the lives of those people. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

L’utilité des matériels et données associées de géolocalisation (loggers- ou traceurs-GPS, Smartphone) pour les recherches et enquêtes sur les mobilités quotidiennes ainsi que les limites de ces méthodes sont largement reconnues, et ont fait l’objet de nombreux articles à visée méthodologique. Notre article contribue à ces connaissances méthodologiques en apportant des éléments d’une part sur le protocole de traitement des données mis en œuvre au cours de la recherche, dont la littérature montre qu’il est encore en évolution suivant les équipes de recherche ; d’autre part sur les indicateurs d’analyse (statistique, territoriale, temporelle et cartographique) que nous avons développés, et des pistes de développements ultérieurs.

A travers la présente étude, nous tentons de faire la lumière sur l’expérience plurilingue et la mobilité chez l’écrivain Amara Lakhous. Amara Lakhous est un écrivain algérien qui a commencé sa carrière littéraire en Italie où il a publié son premier roman en langue arabe. Il continue par la suite à publier des romans en langue arabe et en italien. A partir d’un corpus d’entretiens réalisés dans la presse écrite, à la radio et à la télévision à l’étranger et en Algérie, l’écrivain raconte son départ de l’Algérie vers l’Italie et sa carrière littéraire dans les deux langues. - Through this study, we attempt to shed light on the plurilingual experience and mobility of the writer Amara Lakhous. Amara Lakhous is an Algerian writer who began his literary career in Italy where he published his first novel in Arabic. He continued thereafter to publish novels in Arabic and Italian. From a corpus of interviews carried out in the written press, on radio and on television abroad and in Algeria, the writer recounts his departure from Algeria to Italy and his literary career in the two languages.

Unjustified parking in parking spaces reserved for disabled people is a social phenomenon that reflects characteristics and attitudes concerning solidarity, morality, social norms and values. Disabled people's entitlement to specific parking spaces stems from the general right to mobility, independence, self-realisation and autonomy. In research conducted in the capital city of Slovenia, observers monitored 72 parking spaces reserved for disabled people (on-street spaces, in shopping and health centres). Among all uses of these spaces 63.1% were violations, although in some locations this share exceeded 90%, and 29.3% of violations occurred while at least one unoccupied non-reserved space was available in the near vicinity. The violators parked their vehicles for a short time, with half remaining in or close to the car. Formal social control is closely connected with the domination of an organic type of solidarity. Yet, this research shows it has clear limitations. In just 12 hours of observing reserved parking spaces, the researchers managed to note down the equivalent of 38.5% of the total violations processed annually by municipal wardens. Although the research focuses on one specific issue of solidarity, its implications resound beyond this particular case and suggest broader societal reasons for changes in solidarity.

In coastal and estuarine environments, trace elements trapped in sediments can be released back into the water column if resuspended during tides or floods. This is how this work is carried out to determine the mobility of trace elements when these phenomena occur on Senegalese coasts subjected to high energy tides. Sequential extraction carried out according to the European Community Bureau of Reference (BCR) was used to determine the mobilizable fraction of trace elements in sediments. Subsequently, laboratory sediment resuspension experiments were conducted to evaluate the ability of sediments to release trace elements into the water in order to better understand the natural effect of resuspension during tidal cycles and water movement on the coast. The release of elements into the water was monitored over a 24 h period along with redox potential (Eh), dissolved oxygen and pH. Bioavailability percentages of Cd, Ni, Pb and Zn showed a strong affinity with the acid soluble fraction, suggesting easy mobility of these elements. The results of the kinetic monitoring tests of the release of trace elements in water show that during the first minutes, desorption is very important with peaks that can reach 90? depending on the element that could potentially cause acute effects on aquatic organisms. However, the bioavailability of trace elements in contaminated sediments only influences mobility at the beginning of resuspension. Remobilization tests would therefore provide an indication of the ability of sediments to release trace elements during rapid changes in the physico-chemical conditions of the aquatic environment.

Recent socio-political situations in the Middle East and elsewhere have resulted in a large number of refugees searching for new places to settle. To understand how a new place could become a home, the authors conducted qualitative research in the Netherlands. The study looked at the home experiences and (micro)homemaking practices of young Syrian refugees in an innovative housing project in Amsterdam. In this project, Dutch and Syrian young adults are housed together to foster integration. This article also looks at Boccagni's model for understanding immigrant live-in workers' homes. The authors further develop the model by introducing a mobility lens, which offers the possibility of elaborating on theoretical notions between now-and-then and here-and-there and the empirical findings derived from this study.
