Recovery-oriented Programmes to Support the Recovery Approach to Mental Health in Africa: Findings of PhD: a Scoping Review

Researchers in the field of mental health and people living with a diagnosis of mental illness advocate recovery-oriented mental healthcare approach. Most developed countries have adopted the recovery-oriented approach in mental health facilities to care for people diagnosed with mental illness. However, Africa is left behind in implementing and adopting such a model of care. The objective of the review was to explore the global literature on recovery-oriented mental healthcare programmes, where they originate, are implemented, as well as identify gaps in the literature for further research. The scoping review utilised a refined framework of Arskey and O'Mally (2005) by Levac et al. (Levac, Colquhoun, & O'Brien, 2010). Different databases were systematically searched, and The PRISMA Flow Chart was used to select the articles included in the review. From the initial 560 identified papers, 31 met the review’s inclusion criteria. The results indicated that most recovery-oriented programmes were developed in well-developed Western countries. It was evident from the included studies that the recovery-oriented mental healthcare programmes were effective for and appreciated by people diagnosed with mental illness. None of the identified and included studies discussed any developed recovery-oriented mental healthcare programme in Africa. Nurses need to understand and implement the latest treatment modalities in mental health practice, and recovery-oriented care is one such practice. The review established that most recovery mental healthcare programmes are from Western high-resourced countries and have proven to be effective and appreciated by people diagnosed with mental illness. At the time of the review, no study indicated that a recovery-oriented mental healthcare programme was developed in the Sub-Saharan African context. Therefore, this calls for Africa to develop and implement a recovery-oriented programme to meet the mental health needs of people diagnosed with mental illness.
Getting Around to It: How Design Science Researchers Set Future Work Agendas

Abstract Background: There is a long tradition of writing about future work in research papers, and information systems design science research (IS DSR) is no exception. However, there is a lack of studies on (1) how IS DSR authors currently envision the next steps for their work and (2) guidelines to improve the communication of opportunities to accumulate knowledge. Method: This paper contributes to this topic, building on a systematic literature review of 123 IS DSR papers published between 2018 and 2022. Results: Design-oriented research requires the research team to decide which tasks to carry out immediately in building the future and which to postpone as research debt. The paper's contribution is threefold. First, we propose a research debt lifecycle to support (1) project stakeholders, (2) IS DSR community, and (3) societies looking for better futures. Second, we discuss the anatomy of future work in recent IS DSR. Finally, we suggest guidelines to manage and report the next research steps. Conclusion: This paper presents a pioneering assessment of future work suggestions in the IS field, focusing on the design science research paradigm. Future work directions emerge from researchers' choices during the IS DSR process that must be continuously managed.
Making Intrusion Tolerance Accessible: A Cloud-Based Hybrid Management Approach to Deploying Resilient Systems

Even with the rise of cyberattacks on high-value systems, we still do not see widespread adoption of intrusion-tolerant replication protocols, despite their long history in the research community and potential to support the needed resiliency. A key barrier is that deploying and managing intrusion-tolerant systems in practice requires substantial investment in additional physical infrastructure, as well as specialized technical expertise. In this work, we address this gap by designing a hybrid management model: while the system operator manages their application, a service provider hosts and manages the intrusion-tolerant replication service using cloud infrastructure. We develop the protocols to support this system architecture, without revealing application state, algorithms, or client information to the cloud provider, even when application servers are compromised. We implement and evaluate our approach in the context of an industrial control system and show that it meets the system's performance and resilience requirements.
Implications of Climate Change on Florida(cid:146)s Water Resources

Water resources systems in Florida are unique and exhibit significant diversity in hydrogeologic characteristics and in rainfall and temperature patterns. In many parts of the state, both surface and groundwater systems are complex, highly interconnected, and any change in hydrologic drivers such as rainfall or temperature has the potential to impact the water resources of the urban, agricultural, and ecological systems. Because of this diversity, it is not possible to present a single overall outlook regarding the implications of climate change on the water resources of the state. This chapter presents brief summaries of individual studies that are available for major water resources systems in the state, which include the Everglades, the Tampa Bay region, the St. Johns River watershed, and the Suwannee River and Apalachicola River basins. Available climate models and their downscaled versions have varying degrees of bias and lack of skill that need to be considered in impact analyses. In all regions, projected changes in rainfall, temperature, and sea level may have significant impacts on water supply, water levels in environmentally sensitive areas, flood protection, and water quality.
Securely Compressed Extensive Text Messages: The Interactive Mobile Learning for Distance Education in the COVID – 19 Pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic has made a massive impact on the higher education system in the present globe. Universities had to close abruptly due to keeping up social distancing to prevent the spread of the Coronavirus in the world community. As a result, the existing face-to-face education style is rapidly shifting to distance education environment through the mobile technology. Here, an extensive text messages, one of the most popular applications, make a significant contribution on higher education. However, in this scenario, the single text message is not sufficient in various academic activities such as sending short lecture summaries, feedbacks, assessment timetables, useful web links, detailed news, notices, and examination results to achieve educational prospects to obtain better results in distance education. Moreover, standard SMSs do not provide message confidentiality when sending sensitive data, such as examination results. Here, we propose a novel technique for extensive text message compression to create an interactive mobile learning environment for distance education in the present pandemic situation. This proposed secure mechanism provides message confidentiality, authenticity, and integrity with cryptographic protection. Initially, the teacher inserts academic-related information as an extensive text message. The extensive text message is then compressed and secured with the initialization vector and the secret key in the proposed mechanism. Finally, the securely compressed single text message transmits to students who will decompress it into its original form on their mobile devices. The result shows that students' extrinsic motivation in their distance learning environment effectively and efficiently in the COVID-19 pandemic.
Digital Kenyon: Research, Digital Kenyon: Research, Scholarship, and Creative Exchange Scholarship, and Creative Exchange

Knowledge has proven to be a useful and fundamental formalism for reasoning about distributed systems. The application of this formalism, however, entails a loss of vo-lition on the part of processes about which something is known. This loss of volition is often not appropriate in loosely coupled distributed systems. In this paper, we generalize the formal characterization of knowledge into one of belief . Belief has the advantage of allowing processes to maintain volition. We examine some of the similarities and surprising differences between knowledge and belief. We also present some examples of distributed applications that are more conveniently characterized with belief rather than knowledge
The Canonical Join Representation in Algebraic Combinatorics.

BARNARD, EMILY SARAH. The Canonical Join Representation in Algebraic Combinatorics. (Under the direction of Nathan Reading.) We study the combinatorics of a certain minimal factorization of the elements in a finite lattice L called the canonical join representation. The join ⋁A = w is the canonical join representation of w if A is the unique lowest subset of L satisfying ⋁A = w (where “lowest” is made precise by comparing order ideals under containment). When each element in L has a canonical join representation, we define the canonical join complex to be the abstract simplicial complex of subsets A such that ⋁A is a canonical join representation. In the first chapter, we characterize the class of finite lattices whose canonical join complex is flag, and show how the canonical join complex is related to the topology of L. Next, we study the canonical join complex of the Tamari lattice in types A and B. We realize the canonical join complex of the Tamari lattice as a complex of noncrossing arc diagrams, give a shelling order on its facets, and show that it is homotopy equivalent to a wedge of Catalanmany spheres. We extend these results to the c-Cambrian lattices of type A, which we show to be vertex decomposable. We close this document by considering a family of counting problems, analogous to the well-studied Coxeter-Catalan combinatorics. In our construction, each object to be counted is obtained by doubling a Coxeter-Catalan object. We show that, given a finite Coxeter group W , each of these new counting problems has the same solution, which we call the W -biCatalan number. © Copyright 2017 by Emily Sarah Barnard
Online Public Shaming On Twitter Detection Analysis And Mitigation

Public shaming in online social networks and related online public forums like Twitter has been increasing in recent years. These events are known to have devastating impact on the victim ’ s social, political and financial life. Notwithstanding its known ill effects, little has been done in popular online social media to remedy this, often by the excuse of large volume and diversity of such comments and therefore unfeasible number of human moderators required to achieve the task. In this paper, we automate the task of public shaming detection in Twitter from the perspective of victims and explore primarily two aspects, namely, events and shamers.
memberikan wawasan tentang konstruksi kepemimpinan yang tidak etis dan bagaimana faktor individu, organisasi, dan sosial memprediksi perilaku tidak etis para pemimpin. Meskipun ada banyak penelitian tentang masalah kepemimpinan yang tidak etis, penelitian tentang peran potensial keterampilan kepemim

Global political and financial entities have witnessed many scandals linked to leaders’ unethical behavior. Previous research suggests that the susceptibility of leaders to act in an unethical way is rooted in various individual, organizational, and social factors. However, unethical leadership is scarcely examined in the context of African countries. This study explores the role of poor leadership skills and qualities in eliciting unethical leadership behavior in Algerian public organizations. Using an exploratory qualitative approach, 15 leaders and managers were included in series of in-depth interviews. The results of the data analysis revealed that poor leadership skills and competencies are critical antecedents of unethical leadership behavior within Algerian public organizations. This study contributes to the ongoing research efforts that seek to identify and minimize the causes of unethical behaviors of leaders across sectors and disciplines. This study provides insights into the construct of unethical leadership and how individual, organizational, and social factors predict leaders’ unethical behavior. While there are many studies on the issue of unethical leadership, research on the potential role of poor leadership skills in eliciting unethical behavior is scarce, especially in Algeria. This study found that there is a strong link between skills and competencies of leaders and their ethical behavior within organizational settings.

Zeolite Synthesis from Waste Materials for the Medical Field of Oxygen Concentrators: Focus on the African Scenario

The property of zeolites to selective remove specific compounds from a fluid mixture was exploited in the medical field of oxygen concentrators for the removal of N2 from air in order to deliver almost pure oxygen to patient under Oxygen Therapy. Rising attention was given for zeolite synthesis from waste materials in order to abate the high costs related to such process. The latter approach constitutes also a valid support for the development of Oxygen Concentrators in rural countries such as the African one. In this work a systematic literature research was performed in order to detect all the low-cost/waste materials adopted in literature as aluminum and silicon sources for the synthesis of zeolites X (NaX) that are the ones used for the design of medical oxygen concentrators. Moreover, the African scenario was analyzed and Coal Fly Ash , with an estimated production of 12 Mtons/y by 2030, was selected as the best alternative for zeolite synthesis in this country
IS CHILE A ROLE MODEL OF EXPORT DIVERSIFICATION POLICIES? A REASSESSEMENT

Although strong economic fundamentals have allowed Chile to experience economic growth and poverty reduction on par with East Asian countries, its continued dependence on copper exports nurtures a perception that the country has underperformed in promoting export diversification and structural transformation. This hypothetical failure is considered of particular importance by many economists who argue that developing other more laborintensive export sectors (such as manufacturing and services) may have more direct social benefits than copper exports and that export diversification could further enhance Chile’s long term economic growth because it could lower output volatility (see for example Haddad and others, 2010). Nonetheless, Gonzalez and others (2020) counter this argument by noting that Australia and New Zealand prospered socioeconomically while preserving their export concentration on traditional exports of low complexity.

One Million Plug-in Electric Vehicles on the Road by 2015

— It is mentioned that one million plug-in hybrid and electric vehicles will be on the road by 2015 in United States to reduce emission. If one million electric vehicles (EVs) are connected to the existing electric grid randomly, peak load will be very high. Electriﬁed transportation based on a traditional thermal power system will be costly economically and environmentally though it has a great value for electric power and transportation sectors. EVs cannot alone solve the emission problem completely since they need electric power, which is one of the main sources of emission. Therefore, signiﬁcant emission reduction greatly depends on the maximum utilization of renewable energy. Two models are investigated to show the effect of one million EVs on electric power and transportation sectors. Linear and non-linear systems are used in modeling the emissions generated from the transportation and electric energy sectors respectively.

Thermo-economic assessment of air bottoming cycle technology for waste heat recovery purposes from the preheater tower of an Algerian cement plant

The present work deals with the deployment of an air bottoming cycle as a technology for thermal energy valorization. This solution is integrated within the preheater tower on an Al-gerian cement plant. A combined MATLAB-Coolprop optimization tool has been developed to carry out a thermo-economic calculation allowing to design and optimize the air bottoming cycle and also check its economic returns. The developed code employs the genetic algorithm through a multi-objective function aiming to maximize the cycle’s net power output as a priority objective, then minimize the heat exchanger’s area of exchange, and also maximize the cycle’s net present value. through the implemented models on it, the code gives the ability to confirm the applicability of this technology through the Algerian market which is characterized by one of the cheapest prices of electricity in the world that doesn’t exceed 0.040 $ kWh -1 . The obtained results highlight that the implementation of such technology for energy valori-zation purposes from the preheater tower of the selected cement plant can be a profitable and attractive solution, particularly in scenarios of water scarcity. Since the implementation of this technology presented a power capacity of 1.2 MW covering then around 7.8% of the electricity demand of the investigated cement plant. The economic analysis of the proposed ABC cycle pointed out a net present value of 6.59 M$, and a payback time less than 3.6 years, besides a Levelized cost of energy less than 0.017 $ kWh -1 which is a comparable value to the subsidized prices of electricity in the Algerian market.
Pigment Productions by Spirulina platensis as a Renewable Resource

Introduction: Recently, Spirulina platensis has scientifically become popular because of its importance as food, feed, and a natural producer of pigments with specific nutritional and functional characteristics. Materials and Methods: In this study, the effect of various environmental factors affecting growth conditions of Spirulina platensis, including primary inoculation, light-dark cycle, cultivation time, Light-Emitting Diode (LED) composition, nitrogen source, carbon source, and NaCl concentration, on biomass, C-phycocyanin (C-PC), Allophycocyanin (APC) and chlorophyll-a contents were assessed using Placket-Burman Design (PBD). Results: Results showed that out of the seven screened factors, four factors of carbon source, LED composition, light-dark cycle and NaCl concentration significantly affected biomass production (p<0.01). Among the investigated factors, nitrogen source, light-dark cycle, and NaCl concentration had significant effects on phycocyanin production (p<0.05). Results showed that cultivation time, light-dark cycle, and NaCl concentration significantly affected the production of allophycocyanin (p<0.05). Furthermore, NaCl concentration, carbon source, LED composition, cultivation time, and initial inoculation included significant effects on chlorophyll-a production (p<0.05). Conclusions: The present study screened variables affecting biomass, phycocyanin, allophycocyanin, and chlorophyll-a production as the first step in optimizing Spirulina platensis growth condition. Briefly, NaCl concentration was one of the factors which had a significant impact on all responses. The dark cycle also had an effect on three dependent variables except for chlorophyll-a production.
Monocular-to-3D Virtual Try-On using Deep Residual U-Net

3D virtual try-on aims to synthetically fit a target clothing image onto a 3D human shape while preserving realistic details such as pose, identity of the person. Existing methods heavily depend on annotated 3D shapes and garment templates which limits their practical use. While 2D virtual try-on is another alternative, it ignores the 3D body information and cannot fully represent the human body. Recently, M3D-VTON was proposed to generate textured 3D try-on meshes only from 2D images of person and clothing by formulating the 3D try-on problem as 2D try-on and depth estimation. However, we find that the synthesis model in the M3D-VTON pipeline uses a simple U-Net architecture. We hypothesize that this is insufficient to synthesize body parts and model complex relation between front and back parts of clothing only from the 2D clothing image, ultimately leading to unrealistic 3D try-on results. We improve this by implementing residual units in the existing synthesis model. Studying it’s effect demonstrates that it improves 2D try-on outputs, mainly by differentiating be-tween front and back part of clothing, preserving logo of clothing and reducing artifacts. This ultimately results in better textured 3D try-on mesh. Benchmarking our method on the MPV3D dataset shows that it performs better than previous works significantly. Code is available at https: //
Variability in clusters and continuums The sociolinguistic situation of the Manila Lannangs in the 2010s

This study explores the sociolinguistic situation of a metropolitan Manila Lannang community based on data gathered between 2017 and 2020. A survey was administered to 117 individuals to probe into various dimensions of self-reported language use (e.g., proficiency, confidence) and attitudes (e.g., pride). The results show that, among the Lannangs, there is a range of language use and attitudes, with age and other social factors such as identity impacting the scope of this variability. This variability appears to progress along a continuum in some areas, while forming cluster patterns in others. An examination of the contemporary data alongside data from investigations done in the late 1980s and 1990s reveals some disparities, pointing to generational shifts in language use. The findings demonstrate that the sociolinguistic situation of the Manila Lannang community is unique, dynamic, and complex, enabling us to gain some insights and a nuanced view of the sociolinguistic landscape of the broader Asia-Pacific region.
