Summary of Published Paper Mortality rates among young children are higher than those among the whole population crude mortality rates in emergency settings. There are three main findings of the study: the relative risk of death among different groups changes from non emergency to emergency situations in the same region. It appears that the proportional increase in risk of mortality is greater for over fives and adults than it is for under fives although in the areas studied, under five mortality rates started from a much higher baseline.

In other words it can increase or decrease showing that individuals and groups within a population have different degrees and types of vulnerability depending on the exposure to a particular type of risk and that types of risk may change during an emergency.

When your left leg comes forward, the spine goes into a right rotation and the right arm moves forward.

And then it repeats on the opposite side. The pedestrians who were not targeted walked with a swing to the arms. Body weight shift: Walk smoothly, without jerking your body. Have an internal flow to your motion. Posture: Your posture tells the world a lot about you and is an easy fix. Chin up, spine straight and shoulders back, looking around, taking in your surroundings. Speed: Walk at the same pace as the foot traffic around you, or slightly faster.

Stride length: The illustration above shows an abnormally long stride. Taking a long stride entails reaching out farther with your front foot, making you appear clumsy or ungainly.

In a crowd, you will stand out as having a peculiar walk. Foot movement: As mentioned, this type of stride makes you reach outawkwardly with your foot, almost as if you were making a small leap. All of the pedestrians selected as targets lifted their feet in a manner that was deemed odd. Arm swing: When you take abnormally long steps, your arms will swing in a correspondingly uncoordinated fashion. They will fly up too high or appear to be flapping around your body. It can look comical and draw unwanted attention.

Body weight shift: With an extra-long stride, your arm swing may not be in sync with your legs, and you may look to be moving in a lumbering fashion as you shift from one leg to the other. Posture: Be sure to indicate awareness of your surroundings.

Speed: Moving at an unnaturally rapid pace can make you stand out and appear nervous or fearful. Stride length: The illustration above shows a shortened stride length, which can communicate caution or timidity. Almost like baby steps. Imagine a hiker with a twisted ankle, alone, trying to get back to camp before the sun sets. Marketers can gain better knowledge of targeting potentially vulnerable audiences and can better predict the likelihood of public outcry.
