my FIFTH week is getting harderrrr aakk!

       Its true, its getting harder.
We were started to learn and write about entity, the things about empathising our problem, which is always Children's bags are too heavy, and we also shared about our individual persona experiences from seeing the parents, teachers, and children's point of view.

        My personal experience of being the stakeholder that i chose was being parents. Its still in the case that nowadays the children's bags are too heavy. According to my schedule that last week was the Chinese new year holiday, i went back to my hometown, Bali to reunited with my family there. During that long weekend holiday i really couldn't resist that i got over  thought about my super duper abundantly home works in NAFA. One of them is the design process's. Gaby and I was really thinking about how to represent the rich parents and also the tight budgets parents with. Because we've never ever been a parents before haha a or maybe on the way soon to be. So i just asked some informal questions to my brother, my cousins and my dad also about this problem.
      Commonly the said their carriers are quite a lot as the years increase by. Before i continue, their ages are approximately between 13th. They said their parents recently said that its just a normal thing, they have provided good education for them, therefore they shouldn't worry about that little thing.


   Besides that, we learned some of the research methodologies. There are interview, forum, articles, bibliography, and case study.
What i just discussed with my team mates were about the case study, which in Indonesia we called it Studi lapangan. It comes form the frame questions that have been phrased before then formed into the questions that soon to be used as the chapters and research methods for our report.

4th week isssssssssssssss a Chinese New Year week!!!

No class for design process
we're waiting for the new schedule to replace it.
hahahaha
and anywayy.....

And here are the articles that i found, to support the things that will go on soon. 

Driving for the school run can add £52 to annual fuel bill

As a new school year begins parents are being reminded of the costs associated with driving their children to school.

The school run is already stressful enough for most parents, and it can add £52 to the average family's annual fuel bill.

A combination of congested roads, cold starts and short journeys that don't allow a car's engine to warm up all contributed to poor fuel economy in tests carried out by What Car? on four popular family cars.

It discovered that the Nissan Qashqai 1.6 diesel returned 29.8mpg from a cold start rather than its 51.4mpg official Urban figure. The petrol-powered Hyundai i20 and 2.0-litre diesel Seat Alhambra both managed 26.5mpg, rather than 46.3mpg and 38.7mpg respectively, while VW's Golf Bluemotion returned 41.5mpg - some way short of the 60.1mpg Urban figure it achieves in EU tests.

Chas Hallett, What Car? editor-in-chief, said: "Engines take at least 10 minutes to warm up, so on short, traffic-clogged runs to school they're running a lot less efficiently. On the majority of school runs, cars deliver on average 15 per cent fewer miles per gallon than their official urban figures suggest, and emit 20 per cent more CO2.

"When shopping for your next school run vehicle, go for a car that works best in town. That way it'll still deliver good economy even when it's running less efficiently."

Doctors link them to spine problems, postural defects and back pain

Burdensome: Children are forced to slouch due to their heavy bags. - A file photo

School bags are a major source for injuries among children. And yet, on most occasions, parents tend to overlook this factor. Sometimes, parents justify by saying that they too had carried heavy school bags when they were young and nothing happened to them. Many parents also simply fail to notice the pain and fatigue, which are common among children who are burdened by heavy school bags.

In recent times, however, spine specialists and orthopaedic doctors have started linking heavy bags with problems of spine, postural defects and back pain among children. Many also maintain that parents should not allow children to carry bags that are heavier than 10 per cent of their body weight.

This means that if a child weighs 30 kilograms, then parents must make sure that the child does not carry a school bag weighing more than three kilograms. If the load is more, then children tend to devise their own methods to carry heavy bags.

“Children unintentionally arch their backs and lean forward to carry the heavy load. Unwittingly, this leads to poor posture like slouching when they grow up. When they reach their adolescent stage, many youngsters are unable to maintain the right posture,” says spine surgeon, Dr. G. P. V. Subbaiah of Global Hospitals.

Doctors also suggest that children, including teenagers, should avoid wearing heavy bag only on one shoulder. “Such a habit makes youngsters lean towards one side to compensate for the extra weight. This leads to asymmetrical spine, back pain and strained neck and shoulders,” doctors point out.

Sometimes, children tend to bend forward while carrying heavy backs. Doctors maintain that this posture will force children to work harder to breath and in turn put a lot of pressure on lungs. “Some back pains can be treated by medication. But it is always is better to take preventive measures,” Dr. Subbaiah said.
