Screening for overweight using mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) among children younger than two years in the Eastern Cape, South Africa by McLaren, Shawn, Steenkamp, Liana, McCarthy, H. David, Rutishauser-Perera, Alexandra

“…Results: The prevalence of overweight (WLZ > +2) and obesity (WLZ > +3) was 11% (n = 44) and 5% (21) respectively. A MUAC cut-off value for identifying male children 6 to 24 months old with overweight was determined at 16.5 cm (85% sensitivity, 71.4% specificity, AUC = 0.821) and female children at 16.5 cm (100% sensitivity, 76.6% specificity, AUC = 0.938). …”

Rethinking architectural education - the new EU directive and the role of live projects by Denicke-Polcher, Sandra, Jessen, Dann, Markey, Anne, Mitchell, Maurice, Tang, Bo, Khonsari, Torange

“…The symposium was held as part of the 2nd Annual AAE Conference 2014 - Living and Learning - at the University of Sheffield and encouraged the participants to discuss the teaching method of Live Projects as part of the typical 5 year architectural education in the UK. Within the context of the new EU directive and the potential for a rethinking of the “3+2 years” (+ 2 years in practice) usual architectural education in the UK, Live Projects play an important role, adding practical experience to a shorter “5+0 years” model (without the year in practice). …”
