Willingness of community to enroll in community based health insurance and associated factors at household Level in Siraro District, West Arsi Zone, Ethiopia

To ensure that health care is accessible to all, Community Based Health Insurance (CBHI) should be promoted and more people should be encouraged to participate in it. The aim of this study is to assess the willingness of community to enroll in community based health insurance and factors associated at household level in Siraro District, Ethiopia, 2017. Community based cross sectional study design was employed for 413 household samples. Simple random sampling method was used and face to face interviews, key informants and focus group discussions were conducted using semi-structured questionnaire. Data were entered and cleaned by EPI info and exported to SPSS. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression was used for analysis of variables and 95% confidence level and P- value£ 0.05 was used to measure strength of association. Seventy three percent were willing to enroll in community based health insurance. Marital status (AOR=5.411, 2.448-11.959), being a member of Idir (AOR=2.618, 1.460- 4.690), being aware of community based health insurance principles (AOR=1.938, 1.083-3.464), having knowledge of inpatient services (AOR= 0.269, 0.121-0.597) and poor health status (AOR = 0.517, 0.279-0.957) were factors affecting the enrollment of community in health insurance. Key words: Community, health insurance, willingness, enroll.
A pilot evaluation of a group acceptance and commitment therapy‐informed resilience training program for people with diabetes

Abstract Objective Individuals with diabetes can experience adverse mental health, which is associated with poor physical health outcomes. Few studies have examined interventions to increase resilience and related protective factors in people with diabetes. The purpose of this study was to undertake a pilot evaluation of an acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT)‐informed group resilience training program for people with diabetes. Methods We delivered the program in community venues to 20 people with diabetes, with 10-weekly sessions (total 18 hours). Assessment was conducted at pre‐ and post‐intervention using questionnaires and pedometers. Results There were significant improvements in resilience, psychological flexibility, positive affect, valued living, physical activity and sedentary behaviour, and significant decreases in depression and stress (p < .01). Improvements in mindfulness, diabetes‐related distress and anxiety approached significance (p < .05). Feasibility and acceptance data showed high program engagement and satisfaction, and self‐reported improvements that supported the statistically significant changes. Conclusions ACT‐informed resilience training is a promising means to strengthen resilience and related protective factors, and improve mental health in this population and warrants further evaluation in randomised controlled trials.
Politeness Strategies Performed by EFL Learners’ with English Native Speakers in Medical Students

The purpose of the research was to find out what politeness strategies used by EFL learners when they are having a conversation with English native speakers and the factors for selecting these particular strategies. The research applied a descriptive qualitative research. The participants were 28 non-English major (medical students) students in the first semester. The instrument of the research was data from videos presenting students’ conversation with english native speakers. They were analyzed by using Brown and Levinson categories of politeness. The result shows that the learners use three among four politeness strategies proposed by Brown and Levinson namely positive, negative, and off-record strategies. The positive politeness strategies become the most widely used ones.
Adolescent girls’ experiences of school following treatment for a brain tumour : an interpretative phenomenological analysis approach

Objectives Childhood brain tumours and their treatments are associated with a number of adverse late effects. The aim of the present review was to synthesise contemporary qualitative evidence exploring the adjustment experiences of young people treated for a brain tumour. Methods A systematic search of the literature was undertaken using the electronic databases PsychINFO, ISI Web of Science, MEDLINE, Scopus, and Proquest (Applied Social Sciences Index and Abstracts, Australian Education Index, British Education Index, Educational Resources Information Center). Search terms included a combination of a stem group for youth (adolescent*, child*, paediatric or pediatric), a stem “brain tumo*”, and a stem group for adjustment (adjustment, “late effects” or “long-term effects”, psych*, emotion*, behavior*, social, school* or educat*, and “quality of life”). Manual searches of references and forward citations were undertaken. Identified papers were compared against inclusion and exclusion criteria, and evaluated for quality. Thematic synthesis of the findings involved inductive coding of the text found in the results sections of the included papers and the development of themes. Results Search results identified 3277 articles, eight of which met the relevance criteria. Thematic synthesis of the findings generated two superordinate themes: (a) no longer playing well; and (b) mastering the game of life. Conclusions The findings from the review demonstrated the range and extent of the difficulties experienced by survivors. However, there was evidence of post-traumatic growth and the survivors showed resilience in coping with the effects of their illness. 1 The present review adhered to the author guidelines for submissions to the British Journal of Clinical Psychology (Appendix A).
Work-Related Impression Formation: Reviewing Parenthood Penalties and Investigating a “Fatherhood Penalty” for Single Fathers

Abstract We review the evidence that mothers, compared to childless women or fathers, are discriminated at work (“motherhood penalty”) and that fathers may receive “caregiver penalties. ” We conclude that (implicitly or explicitly) expected family roles appear to determine parenthood penalties. On this basis, we examined penalties for fathers who are only assumed to be primary caregivers. We found “fatherhood penalties” for single fathers compared to married fathers (Experiment 1, N = 343) and compared to singles and single mothers (Experiment 2, N = 142 professionals). We discuss the mixed evidence on work-related perceptions of parents.
Connecting and Coping with Stigmatized Others: Examining Social Support Messages in Prison Talk Online

Having a loved one who is incarcerated affects significant others financially, emotionally, and relationally. Many who maintain a relationship with incarcerated individuals also experience courtesy stigma. To manage their courtesy stigma, individuals often turn to online support sites to engage with others who have experienced judgment from their typical social support sources. Using a grounded theory approach, this study explored how individuals in one online support site, Prison Talk Online (PTO), request and receive support. A constant comparative method of analysis was used to build a typology of social support messages for two forums within PTO: Husbands/Boyfriends in Prison and Wives/Girlfriends in Prison. Results indicated six unique types of support sought in these two forums and nine types of support given. Differences in frequencies of types of support that were sought and given between the two forums were also found. Findings suggested that unique stressors and the stigma of having an incarcerated loved one influence people to seek and give unique types of support and create an online community to build a network that might be lacking outside Prison Talk Online.
Language and Political Psychology: Can Grammar Influence Electability?

Daily, the public is plied with political messages from various sources and millions are invested in campaign ads each election year. Yet, surprisingly little is known about the influence of linguistic details in such messages on attitudes about political candidates, especially within the context of Malaysia. The present study is grounded within the structure of framing and grammar, and suggests that grammar can influence attitudes towards a candidate’s electability. The study involved 387 male and female Malaysian university students (19- to 25-year-olds) of various ethnicities. The researcher designed two comprehensive questionnaires based on Fausey and Matlock’s (2011) work. Participants were randomly assigned Version A ( n =192) or Version B ( n =195) of the questionnaire. Both versions were about the conduct of Members of Parliament, unnamed and without party labels, to avoid bias about actual politicians. The conduct or actions were of negative and positive valence; Version A was framed using the imperfective form [‘was verb + ing ’] and employed the modal verb ‘must’, whereas Version B was framed using the perfective form [‘verb + ed ’] and employed the modal verb ‘have to’. Primarily, results revealed that imperfective descriptions of negative actions resulted in negative responses to the re-election of a candidate. However, the participants were largely insensitive to grammatical alteration when judging a candidate’s past positive actions. The results on modality demonstrated a preference for the modal verb ‘must’ which carries more “emotional value” than ‘have to’. The present study is novel in that it covers the dimension of modality (which has never been explored in previous studies) and that to date, there is no available research similar to it in the Malaysian context.

Effects of students’ basketball club participation motivation on club cohesion organizational commitment as the mediator

Abstract Club members’ cohesion has become an important indicator to enhance the operating performance of student basketball clubs in colleges and universities. With questionnaire survey, student basketball club members of colleges and universities in south China region are selected as the research objects. The self-compiled questionnaire is revised after the pretest to become the formal questionnaire. Total 500 copies are distributed, and 386 copies are valid. The data are analyzed with structural equation modeling (SEM), and the research results are summarized as followings. 1. Club participation motivation presents significantly positive effects on organizational commitment. 2. Club participation motivation shows remarkably positive effects on club cohesion. 3. Organizational commitment reveals notably positive effects on club cohesion. 4. Club participation motivation would indirectly affect club cohesion through the mediation effect of organizational commitment, and the effect is higher than the direct effect of club participation motivation on club cohesion. Finally, specific suggestions, according to the research results, are proposed for the management and research of education sectors or student basketball clubs in colleges and universities.
Higher education service quality, student satisfaction and loyalty

Purpose The purpose of this study is to validate the higher education service quality (HESQUAL) scale using a confirmatory approach and test an improved structural model that predicts student loyalty from image, perceived value, satisfaction and service quality. In addition to validating the HESQUAL scale using a confirmatory approach, two other main limitations in the extant literature are addressed. Design/methodology/approach The model is tested using data collected from 501 students enrolled in different higher education institutions in Mauritius. A two-stage approach to structural equation modeling is used whereby the measurement model is first tested using confirmatory factor analysis and followed by the assessment of the structural model. Findings Importantly, results indicate that student satisfaction is influenced by technical service quality, image and perceived value, but not by functional service quality. Both dimensions of service quality however are significant predictors of image and perceived value. The study uses a comprehensive measure of service quality and demonstrates that it is worthwhile to consider functional service quality as higher-order model and clearly distinguish between functional and technical quality, as both the technical and functional aspects play an important role in shaping students’ perceptions and behaviors. Originality/value First, in the existing literature, service quality has not been considered as a second-order factor model in structural models of student satisfaction and loyalty, thus lacking either precision or parsimony. Second, the transformative quality aspect of higher education has been largely neglected in previous research testing such predictive models. The model delineates service quality into the functional and transformative (technical) aspects and treats functional service quality as a second-order factor comprising nine sub-dimensions.
Effects of Inaccurate Gaze Behavior on Young Drivers’ Hazard Anticipation

Summary: A previous study (Yamani et al., 2018) demonstrated that the administration of expert eye movement videos following hazard anticipation training can improve the proportion of latent hazards anticipated by young drivers compared to control conditions. The current driving simulator study sought to examine whether the improvements observed in the previous study were merely due to drivers’ exposure to videos of the simulated driving scenarios with expert eye movement overlays immediately prior to evaluation, or whether modeling the accuracy of eye movement behavior can lead participants to internalize hazard anticipation skills more effectively. In a between-subject design, 36 drivers (18-21 years) were assigned to one of three experimental conditions – training only, training plus expert eye movements or training plus novice eye movements. All participants navigated four unique driving scenarios, each with their eye movements tracked and recorded. Analyses of the eye movement data showed that young drivers who saw the expert eye movement (accurate) videos immediately following training anticipated a substantially greater proportion of latent hazards compared to the young drivers that saw novice eye movement (inaccurate) videos following training. The data provide some evidence that drivers were able to successfully map and incorporate correct hazard anticipation glance behavior into their mental models. The findings present some implications for the design and evaluation of eye movement-based training interventions.
A Comparison Between Male and Female in Their Willingness to Communicate and Use of Socio-cognitive Strategies

Learning and teaching a foreign language has been always a controversial topic among linguists. There is no doubt that communication is conceived to be the fundamental part of human relationships. Many language-teaching professionals believed that in a real situation or out of an institutionalized context, motivation and language proficiency are not adequate for second language learners to commence or even participate in a conversation. According to Williams and Burden (1997), language teaching and learning processes are among the most important and intricate human endeavors. As the emphasis in L2 teaching has been shifting to communication, studies are needed to guide students’ attitude toward communication in second language in different contexts. Willingness to communicate (hereafter WTC) is the learners’ tendency to talk to others, which is a psychological issue. This tendency is low in some people and may decrease when the learner Willingness to communicate illustrates anyone’s tendency and wish to commence a communication. Besides, socio-cognitive strategies are used when people want to interact with others and face some difficulties. The aim of this study was twofold. The first aim was to investigate the difference in willingness to communicate between Iranian male and female. The second aim was to distinguish the frequency of socio-cognitive strategies used by Iranian advance students based on their gender. To these ends, 32 advance learners (16 males and 16 females) were given the willingness to communicate questionnaire developed by MacIntyre, Baker, Clément, and Conrod (2001) and the socio-cognitive strategy use questionnaire. The range of the participants’ age was 17-23 in both males and females. To analyze the result of the socio-cognitive strategies use, frequencies were counted. The result showed that although there were some similarities and differences between males and females while using socio-cognitive strategies, the differences were more in social strategies than cognitive ones. After collecting the data from the questionnaires and calculating the means of the two groups, an independent sample T-test was run to compute the significant differences between the two groups. The result of the willingness to communicate questionnaire revealed that males had more tendency in communication than females. Also, the result of the socio-cognitive strategy questionnaire showed that both groups are similar in cognitive strategy use, but they are different in social strategy use.
Aloe Vera Dermal Wound Gel Is Associated With a Delay in Wound Healing

We evaluated the time interval required for wound healing using a standard wound management protocol with and without aloe vera gel. Twenty-one women were studied who had wound complications requiring healing by second intention after cesarean delivery or laparotomy for gynecologic surgery. Wounds treated with standard management healed in a mean (± SD) time interval of 53 ± 24 days, whereas those treated with aloe vera gel required 83 ± 28 days (P=.003). The use of aloe vera dermal wound gel was associated with a significant delay in wound healing compared with treatment with an otherwise identical regimen that did not include aloe vera.
GRUPOS INTERATIVOS EM SALA DE AULA E O PROGRESSO DOS RESULTADOS DE APRENDIZAGEM EM LINGUAGEM EM UMA ESCOLA EM SITUAÇÃO DE VULNERABILIDADE

This article presents the results of a study performed during the 2013 to 2014 period in a “vulnerable” school in Los Angeles, Chile. The study has consisted of the incorporation of interactive groups in first grade language classes. The aim was to determine increased learning outcomes in this area. A quantitative approach was used with a pre-experimental design and the application of reading comprehension and text production tests in the mentioned grade, before and after the intervention. Furthermore, this study also considered the incorporation of learning collaborators into the classroom: parents or guardians, students in higher grades in the same school, undergraduate students, and university professors. The interactive groups involve a paradigm change that leads to a strong social commitment. The results indicate that a significant increase was produced between the pre and post test, which led to an improvement in language learning.

Benefits of a Voluntary Cell Phone Abstinence Intervention in General Psychology Courses

Although cell phones are often discussed as a problem in higher education research, the literature focuses largely on disciplinary tactics or integration of phones into the curriculum. The present study provides further support for the use of positive reinforcement to minimize the negative effects of cell phones in the classroom. A quasi-experimental design randomly assigned course sections of general psychology to participate in an electronic device-free project for the entire semester or only the second half of the semester. Results provide support for previous research of the deleterious effects of cell phone use on exam scores and further expands the literature by also demonstrating negative effects of cell phone use on classmate connection and course satisfaction.
Naming and Addressing Homophobic and Transphobic Microaggressions in Social Work Classrooms

ABSTRACT Classroom-based microaggressions are a critical problem, associated with a range of negative impacts for students in targeted groups. Central to the problem of microaggressions is that they are often unacknowledged or unaddressed by educators in their own classrooms. Findings from the Social Work Speaks Out! mixed-method survey demonstrate that LGBTQ+ undergraduate and graduate students experience a range of microaggressions in social work classrooms, as they would in classes in other fields. This article draws on qualitative data to examine the experiences of homophobic and transphobic microaggressions by social work students across the United States and Canada and introduces a new tool, grounded in the data, to guide educators in recognizing, naming, and effectively addressing microaggressions in their own classrooms.
Prevalence and Mechanisms of Discrimination: Evidence from the Ride-Hail and Taxi Industries

Ride-hail services, including Uber and Lyft, have upended the taxi industry, but it remains unclear whether ride-hailing, like taxis, discriminates against riders based on race. To understand whether and when discrimination manifests in for-hire vehicle services, I conducted an audit of Uber, Lyft, and taxis in Los Angeles. Discrimination against black taxi riders resulted in far higher rates of trip cancellation and longer wait times compared with white riders. By contrast, ride-hailing dramatically reduced differences between riders. Findings suggest that discrimination occurs when people learn of rider characteristics and yield implications for how planners can use technology to deter discrimination.
