Published: August 2024

This study aims to examine the effect of good corporate governance and intellectual capital on the company value of state-owned enterprises listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) between 2016 and 2022, involving secondary data obtained from the websites of IDX and respective companies. The samples in this study include 10 companies selected through the purposive sampling method and analyzed by multiple linear regression using the SPSS version 25 software. The dimension of good corporate governance is represented by the independent board of commissioners and the audit committee, and the intellectual capital dimension is represented by Value Added Intellectual Coefficient (VAIC). The results of the analysis exhibit that the audit committee and intellectual capital have a positive effect on company value, implying that a higher number of audit committees and intellectual capital value is capable of increasing company value. Whilst, the board of independent commissioners has a negative effect on company value, meaning that the higher proportion of independent commissioners is unable to improve company value.

Predictors of Medical and Dental Clinic Closure by Machine Learning Methods: Cross-Sectional Study Using Empirical Data
Authors: Park Young-Taek , Kim Donghan , Jeon Ji Soo , Kim Kwang Gi
Published: August 2024

Background

Small clinics are important in providing health care in local communities. Accurately predicting their closure would help manage health care resource allocation. There have been few studies on the prediction of clinic closure using machine learning techniques.

Objective

This study aims to test the feasibility of predicting the closure of medical and dental clinics (MCs and DCs, respectively) and investigate important factors associated with their closure using machine running techniques.

Methods

The units of analysis were MCs and DCs. This study used health insurance administrative data. The participants of this study ran and closed clinics between January 1, 2020, and December 31, 2021. Using all closed clinics, closed and run clinics were selected at a ratio of 1:2 based on the locality of study participants using the propensity matching score of logistic regression. This study used 23 and 19 variables to predict the closure of MCs and DCs, respectively. Key variables were extracted using permutation importance and the sequential feature selection technique. Finally, this study used 5 and 6 variables of MCs and DCs, respectively, for model learning. Furthermore, four machine learning techniques were used: (1) logistic regression, (2) support vector machine, (3) random forest (RF), and (4) Extreme Gradient Boost. This study evaluated the modeling accuracy using the area under curve (AUC) method and presented important factors critically affecting closures. This study used SAS (version 9.4; SAS Institute Inc) and Python (version 3.7.9; Python Software Foundation).

Results

The best-fit model for the closure of MCs with cross-validation was the support vector machine (AUC 0.762, 95% CI 0.746-0.777; P<.001) followed by RF (AUC 0.736, 95% CI 0.720-0.752; P<.001). The best-fit model for DCs was Extreme Gradient Boost (AUC 0.700, 95% CI 0.675-0.725; P<.001) followed by RF (AUC 0.687, 95% CI 0.661-0.712; P<.001). The most significant factor associated with the closure of MCs was years of operation, followed by population growth, population, and percentage of medical specialties. In contrast, the main factor affecting the closure of DCs was the number of patients, followed by annual variation in the number of patients, year of operation, and percentage of dental specialists.

Conclusions

This study showed that machine running methods are useful tools for predicting the closure of small medical facilities with a moderate level of accuracy. Essential factors affecting medical facility closure also differed between MCs and DCs. Developing good models would prevent unnecessary medical facility closures at the national level.
Online Health Information Seeking, eHealth Literacy, and Health Behaviors Among Chinese Internet Users: Cross-Sectional Survey Study
Authors: Liu Diyi , Yang Shuhang , Cheng Calvin Yixiang , Cai Lin , Su Jing
Published: August 2024

Background

The internet has become an increasingly vital platform for health-related information, especially in upper-middle-income countries such as China. While previous research has suggested that online health information seeking (OHIS) can significantly impact individuals’ engagement in health behaviors, most research focused on patient-centered health communication.

Objective

This study aims to examine how OHIS influences health behavior engagement among Chinese internet users, focusing on the role of eHealth literacy and perceived information quality in influencing relationships.

Methods

An online cross-sectional survey was conducted in November 2021 among 10,000 Chinese internet users, using quota sampling based on sex, age, and urban and rural residence, in line with the 48th Statistical Report on Internet Development of China. Nonparametric tests were used to examine the differences in eHealth literacy across sociodemographic groups. Partial correlation analysis and stepwise linear regression were conducted to test the associations between key variables. Confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling were conducted to test the hypotheses.

Results

Our study identified significant disparities in functional and critical eHealth literacy between urban and rural residents across age groups, income levels, education backgrounds, and health conditions (all P<.001). In terms of sex and regional differences, we found higher functional literacy among female users than male users, and critical literacy varied significantly across different regions. The proposed structural model showed excellent fit (χ2404=4183.6, χ2404=10.4,P<.001; root mean square error of approximation value of 0.031, 95% CI 0.030-.031; standardized root mean square residual value of 0.029; and comparative fit index value of 0.955), highlighting reciprocal associations between 2 types of eHealth literacy and OHIS. Participants’ functional eHealth literacy, critical eHealth literacy, and OHIS have positive impacts on their health behavioral engagement. Perceived information quality was found to mediate the influence of OHIS on health behavior (b=0.003, 95% CI 0.002-0.003; P<.001).

Conclusions

The study revealed the pathways linking sociodemographic factors, eHealth literacy, OHIS, and perceived information quality and how they together influenced health outcomes. The findings underscore the significance of enhancing eHealth literacy and improving information quality to promote better health outcomes among Chinese internet users.

Preventive Interventions for Internet Addiction in Young Children: Systematic Review (Preprint)
Authors: Theopilus Yansen , Al Mahmud Abdullah , Davis Hilary , Octavia Johanna Renny
Published: August 2024

BACKGROUND

In this digital age, children typically start using the internet in early childhood. Studies highlighted that young children are vulnerable to internet addiction due to personal limitations and social influence (eg, family and school). Internet addiction can have long-term harmful effects on children’s health and well-being. The high risk of internet addiction for vulnerable populations like young children has raised questions about how best to prevent the problem.

OBJECTIVE

This review study aimed to investigate the existing interventions and explore future directions to prevent or reduce internet addiction risks in children younger than 12 years.

METHODS

The systematic review was conducted following the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines. We searched for relevant literature from 4 research databases (Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, and PsycINFO). We included 14 primary studies discussing the interventions to prevent or reduce internet addiction risks in young children and their efficacy outcomes.

RESULTS

The preventive interventions identified were categorized into four approaches as follows: (1) children’s education, (2) parenting strategy, (3) strategic physical activity, and (4) counseling. Ten interventions showed promising efficacy in preventing or reducing internet addiction risks with small-to-medium effect sizes. Interventions that enhance children’s competencies in having appropriate online behaviors and literacy were more likely to show better efficacy than interventions that force children to reduce screen time. Interventions that shift children’s focus from online activities to real-world activities also showed promising efficacy in reducing engagement with the internet, thereby preventing addictive behaviors. We also identified the limitations of each approach (eg, temporariness, accessibility, and implementation) as valuable considerations in developing future interventions.

CONCLUSIONS

The findings suggest the need to develop more sustainable and accessible interventions to encourage healthy online behaviors through education, appropriate parenting strategies, and substitutive activities to prevent children’s overdependence on the internet. Developing digital tools and social support systems can be beneficial to improve the capability, efficiency, and accessibility of the interventions. Future interventions also need to consider their appropriateness within familial context or culture and provide adequate implementation training. Last, policy makers and experts can also contribute by making design guidelines to prevent digital product developers from making products that can encourage overuse in children.

Published: August 2024

BACKGROUND

Wearable activity trackers, including fitness bands and smartwatches, offer the potential for disease detection by monitoring physiological parameters. However, their accuracy as specific disease diagnostic tools remains uncertain.

OBJECTIVE

This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to evaluate whether wearable activity trackers can be used to detect disease and medical events.

METHODS

Ten electronic databases were searched for studies published from inception to April 1, 2023. Studies were eligible if they used a wearable activity tracker to diagnose or detect a medical condition or event (eg, falls) in free-living conditions in adults. Meta-analyses were performed to assess the overall area under the curve (%), accuracy (%), sensitivity (%), specificity (%), and positive predictive value (%). Subgroup analyses were performed to assess device type (Fitbit, Oura ring, and mixed). The risk of bias was assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Checklist for Diagnostic Test Accuracy Studies.

RESULTS

A total of 28 studies were included, involving a total of 1,226,801 participants (age range 28.6-78.3). In total, 16 (57%) studies used wearables for diagnosis of COVID-19, 5 (18%) studies for atrial fibrillation, 3 (11%) studies for arrhythmia or abnormal pulse, 3 (11%) studies for falls, and 1 (4%) study for viral symptoms. The devices used were Fitbit (n=6), Apple watch (n=6), Oura ring (n=3), a combination of devices (n=7), Empatica E4 (n=1), Dynaport MoveMonitor (n=2), Samsung Galaxy Watch (n=1), and other or not specified (n=2). For COVID-19 detection, meta-analyses showed a pooled area under the curve of 80.2% (95% CI 71.0%-89.3%), an accuracy of 87.5% (95% CI 81.6%-93.5%), a sensitivity of 79.5% (95% CI 67.7%-91.3%), and specificity of 76.8% (95% CI 69.4%-84.1%). For atrial fibrillation detection, pooled positive predictive value was 87.4% (95% CI 75.7%-99.1%), sensitivity was 94.2% (95% CI 88.7%-99.7%), and specificity was 95.3% (95% CI 91.8%-98.8%). For fall detection, pooled sensitivity was 81.9% (95% CI 75.1%-88.1%) and specificity was 62.5% (95% CI 14.4%-100%).

CONCLUSIONS

Wearable activity trackers show promise in disease detection, with notable accuracy in identifying atrial fibrillation and COVID-19. While these findings are encouraging, further research and improvements are required to enhance their diagnostic precision and applicability.

Authors: Mishina Kaisa , Baumel Amit , Kinnunen Malin , Ristkari Terja , Heinonen Emmi , Hinkka-Yli-Salomäki Susanna , Sourander Andre
Published: August 2024

BACKGROUND

Online parenting programs have great potential to promote positive parent-child relationships as well as to reach and engage parents.

OBJECTIVE

To assess the universal online BePresent parenting intervention for families with three-year-old children and how it influences the child’s behavior and daily life situations assessed by parents. The first aim of the study was to assess the change from baseline to follow-up in child hyperactivity and conduct problems, affective reactivity and daily activities. The second aim was to assess intervention completion rates. The third aim was to evaluate parent satisfaction with the intervention. The fourth aim was to assess all outcomes by comparing those who completed the intervention and those who did not.

METHODS

We conducted a single-arm pre-post intervention study. Parents attending their child’s three-year health check-up were recruited from children’s health clinics. The intervention was an unguided online parenting program consisting of five modules. Self-reported measures were collected at baseline and at an eight-week follow-up. Linear mixed effects models were used to analyze the changes from baseline to follow-up.

RESULTS

Altogether, 752 parents registered, and 515 started the intervention. Of those, 36% (n=183) completed the intervention. Parents reported high satisfaction with the intervention: the majority (68.8–84.9%) were satisfied with various aspects of the program, and 89.9% said the intervention provided information about positive parenting skills. The findings show significant decreases with small effect sizes in parent ratings of child hyperactivity (P=.034; d=0.12) and conduct problems (P=.001; d=0.20) between baseline and the eight-week follow-up. A similar finding was observed in the parent ratings of child irritability (P=<.001; d=0.27) using the Affective Reactivity Index. Parents reported improvement in the daily functioning of their child when it was measured with a questionnaire adapted from the Barkley Home Situations Questionnaire (P=.013; d=0.14).

CONCLUSIONS

Universal digital interventions have the potentiality to be implemented widely in community settings to improve knowledge and positive parenting skills. However, there is a need to assess the efficacy of digital universal interventions using randomized controlled designs, and to examine additional ways to increase adherence to universal programs.
Is the Victim Also the Perpetrator? Infectious Mechanism and Coping Methods of Social Media Cyberbullying——The Double Buffering Effect of Trait Mindfulness (Preprint)
Authors: Gu Chenyu , Li Xiaoxia
Published: August 2024

BACKGROUND

Social media cyberbullying has become a significant global public health issue. Nowadays, online violence has virus-like infectiousness and forms a cycle of bullying. Previous research has verified that bystanders can become perpetrators. However, few studies have explored the interaction between victims and perpetrators. There are indications that victims may be psychologically motivated to become potential perpetrators to "transfer pain," thus creating this cycle of bullying.

OBJECTIVE

The purpose of current study is to explore the psychological motivation and verify the intervention effect of trait mindfulness in this process.

METHODS

Based on the "Stressor-Strain-Outcomes" framework, the current study combines social cognitive theory and the general aggression model. It uses cognitive empathy and moral disengagement as mediators to construct an influence model of social media cyberbullying victimization experiences on cyberbullying behavior intention. Moreover, we introduce trait mindfulness as a double buffer.

RESULTS

A questionnaire survey and data analysis of 360 social media users with cyberbullying victimization experiences revealed that: 1, cyberbullying victimization experiences have a significant positive effect on the cyberbullying behavior intention. 2, cognitive empathy and moral disengagement play mediating roles between the two. 3, trait mindfulness plays a double buffering role in this process.

CONCLUSIONS

The current study explains the infectious mechanism of cyberbullying and verifies the effectiveness of mindfulness interventions in improving the cycle of cyberbullying, and extends the investigative lens of cyberbullying to reflect the unique characteristics of Chinese online culture. It also expands the research perspective of social media cyberbullying and broadens the application of mindfulness in communication and online behavior research, reinforcing its relevance and potential in the context of Chinese internet users.

Published: August 2024

One of the crucial steps of identifying an individual is to determine their sex. The mandible, which is the largest and strongest bone in the human face, is a useful tool due to its significant sexual dimorphism. Two features that are recognized for their high sexual dimorphism are the gonial angle and mandibular ramus height. Several studies have shown different results when using both measures to estimate sex, factors that are thought to influence morphological differences include age, population, sex, and physical activity. The objective of this study was to analyze the differences in gonial angle and mandibular ramus height between sexes using panoramic radiography. Additionally, it aimed to analyze the correlation between these measurements and sex. The measurements of the gonial angle and mandibular ramus height were conducted using ImageJ software. Initially, the specific anatomical landmarks were identified, and the software’s measurement tools were then employed to accurately assess the height and angle based on these selected points. The sample consisted of secondary data obtained from 70 panoramic radiographs of patients aged 20–45 years at the Dental and Oral Teaching Hospital (RSGMP) of Universitas Airlangga, Surabaya. Data analysis was conducted using the independent t-test and Pearson correlation. There was a significant difference in the mandibular ramus height between sexes, with males having a greater height (p < 0.05). It was also discovered that, despite the fact that males exhibited a smaller gonial angle compared to females, this difference was not statistically significant (p = 0.29). Furthermore, a significant correlation was observed between mandibular ramus height and sex (r = 0.498); however, there was no significant correlation between gonial angle and sex (r = -0.128). The study reveals a significant difference in mandibular ramus height between males and females, with males exhibiting greater height. This parameter shows a strong correlation with sex, making it a reliable indicator for sex determination. Conversely, the gonial angle is not suitable for this purpose.

Objectives The purpose of this study is to analyze the trends of domestic research on the career paths of international students to suggest directions for research on the career paths of international students and the development of career education programs.
Methods In order to determine the scope and practical value of research on the career paths of international students in South Korea, as well as to summarize extensive research findings and distinguish the differences from existing studies, this study employs the thematic literature review method proposed by Arksey and O'Malley (2005). A total of 41 papers related to the career paths of international students, published between 2005 and July 2023, were extracted and reviewed. To achieve this, research questions were formulated, followed by stages of literature search and selection, culminating in the organization and analysis of the data.
Results The results of the analysis showed that, First, while research on the career development of international students is increasing, it remains insufficient. These students should be approached not merely as “foreigners” but as “college students in their 20s”. Second, research on the career development of international students requires detailed analysis considering differences by nationality and the exploration of tailored support measures. Third, existing research on the career development of international students has been focused on cultural adaptation and career decision-making. A more comprehensive investigation covering various aspects, such as job selection and career development, is necessary.
Conclusions Universities need to provide systematic programs to support career design, job search, and job preparation for international students, and practical support for self-directed career design and social advancement rather than simple life adaptation. In addition, since the development of career support programs for international students requires collaboration by various experts, a multidisciplinary approach is essential to understand the characteristics of international students and support the overall career path, and universities must systematically support the educational growth and social advancement of international students in addition to attracting international students.

Presbylarynx is a condition characterized by age-related changes in the laryngeal structures that result in altered voice quality and function. This review explores the pathological mechanisms, clinical symptoms, and treatment options for presbylarynx. Pathologically, presbylarynx involves structural changes in the vocal folds, including muscle atrophy, thinning of the vocal fold mucosa, and alterations in connective tissue, which collectively contribute to decreased vocal fold elasticity and closure. Clinically, individuals with presbylarynx often experience a weakened voice, hoarseness, vocal fatigue, and reduced voice stability. These symptoms are compounded by changes in respiratory function and neurological control of the vocal folds. Treatment strategies for presbylarynx include voice therapy to strengthen vocal fold muscles and improve voice quality, pharmacological interventions such as anti-inflammatory medications and steroids to manage inflammation, and surgical approaches like vocal fold augmentation to restore vocal fold function. Emerging technologies such as neural-machine interfaces offer potential for future advancements in treating this condition. This review highlights the need for comprehensive management approaches to improve the quality of life for individuals affected by presbylarynx.
Surgical Intervention for Presbyphonia

Current therapeutic approaches for presbyphonia are generally categorized into non-invasive and surgical methods. Voice therapy is commonly chosen as initial treatment modality used to reduce maladaptive compensatory muscle behavior and to improve glottal closure. Nevertheless, in advanced cases of presbyphonia, glottal insufficiency may be aggravated, reducing the benefits of voice therapy. To manage the glottal insufficiency observed in such cases, surgical intervention is performed to medialize the vocal folds. Available surgical modalities include injection laryngoplasty and type I thyroplasty. Additionally, cutting-edge regenerative treatments, such as the injection of basic fibroblast growth factor, are under investigation internationally and show promising outcomes. This review aims to elucidate the current indications and relevance of surgical interventions for presbylarynx.

Este artigo apresenta as características, a base teórica, os objetivos, a metodologia e alguns resultados do projeto de extensão “Educação, teorias críticas e processos emancipatórios”, desenvolvido na Universidade Federal da Bahia entre 2018 e 2023, na cidade de Salvador. O artigo mostra como o projeto desenvolveu, junto com os agentes sociais atendidos, algumas reflexões sobre questões políticas urgentes no Brasil hoje, tanto para a democracia como para os movimentos sociais, especialmente neste momento de luta contra a hegemonia fascista. O artigo mostra como o projeto se inspirou teoricamente no humanismo crítico, definido aqui como uma grande abordagem e não como teoria específica. Dentro desta abordagem geral, a principal referência teórico-metodológica usada neste projeto de extensão foram as teorias latino-americanas da libertação, especialmente a educação popular. Finalmente apresenta como resultados qualitativos as reflexões desenvolvidas ao longo do projeto com os agentes dos movimentos sociais, sobre quatro questões: 1. A extrema-direita no poder; 2. O papel da classe média na reconstrução da democracia; 3. O que é o estado; 4. A democracia participativa.
