TEAM: Topological Evolution-Aware Framework for Traffic Forecasting
Authors: Kieu Duc , Kieu Tung , Han Peng , Yang Bin , Jensen Christian S. , Le Bac
Published: February 2025

Due to the global trend towards urbanization, people increasingly move to and live in cities that then continue to grow. Traffic forecasting plays an important role in the intelligent transportation systems of cities as well as in spatio-temporal data mining. State-of-the-art forecasting is achieved by deep-learning approaches due to their ability to contend with complex spatio-temporal dynamics. However, existing methods assume the input is fixed-topology road networks and static traffic time series. These assumptions fail to align with urbanization, where time series are collected continuously and road networks evolve over time. In such settings, deep-learning models require frequent re-initialization and re-training, imposing high computational costs. To enable much more efficient training without jeopardizing model accuracy, we propose the Topological Evolution-aware Framework (TEAM) for traffic forecasting that incorporates convolution and attention. This combination of mechanisms enables better adaptation to newly collected time series while being able to maintain learned knowledge from old time series. TEAM features a continual learning module based on the Wasserstein metric that acts as a buffer that can identify the most stable and the most changing network nodes. Then, only data related to stable nodes is employed for re-training when consolidating a model. Further, only data of new nodes and their adjacent nodes as well as data pertaining to changing nodes are used to re-train the model. Empirical studies with two real-world traffic datasets offer evidence that TEAM is capable of much lower re-training costs than existing methods are, without jeopardizing forecasting accuracy.

Published: February 2025

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a major greenhouse gas produced by anthropogenic activities, such as industrial processes and energy consumption. This study focuses on CO2 adsorption, a widely used industrial method, specifically dynamic CO2 capture from the atmosphere using ammonia-modified granular activated carbon (OXA-GAC). The research integrates experimental investigations with mathematical modeling to optimize the adsorption process. A numerical solution for mass balance equations, formulated from partial differential equations (PDEs), was implemented using the method of lines (MOL). To simulate the CO2 breakthrough profile in the adsorption column, three kinetic models were employed: pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, and Avrami. Among these, the Avrami model demonstrated the best fit, exhibiting the highest correlation factor with experimental kinetic data at 30 °C, 45 °C, and 60 °C. Furthermore, two equilibrium adsorption isotherms, Toth and Langmuir, were evaluated. For low CO2 concentrations, the Yoon-Nelson model outperformed the Thomas model, particularly at 30 °C and 45 °C across all C/C0 ratios. At 60 °C, the adsorption performance in the column was accurately represented by these models for C/C0 ratios below 0.7. This study contributes to the advancement of CO2 capture technologies by optimizing dynamic CO2 adsorption using OXA-GAC. It provides valuable insights into process optimization under varying temperature and concentration conditions, supporting the development of more efficient and sustainable carbon capture systems.

Navigating the Legal Minefield: The Impact of Articles 27A and 27B of Indonesia's EIT Law on Freedom of Expression and the Path to Legal Reform
Authors: Feka Mikhael , Pujiyono  , Sularto R.B. , Pareke JT.
Published: February 2025

President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) officially approved the second revision of Law Number 1 of 2024 on the Second Amendment to Law Number 11 of 2008 on Electronic Information and Transactions (EIT) on January 4, 2024, reflecting the government's effort to align regulations with the rapid development of information and communication technology. While this revision introduces significant changes, particularly Articles 27A and 27B regulate actions that attack a person's honor or reputation. The public views it as a missed opportunity to eliminate existing ambiguities and potential misuse. This research employs normative legal methods with statutory, conceptual and comparative approaches, adopting a descriptive-prescriptive nature. The analysis reveals that the unclear definitions and potential for multiple interpretations of Articles 27A and 27B negatively impact freedom of expression, creating fear and uncertainty among the public, journalists, and government critics. Furthermore, these provisions violate fundamental human rights principles and contradict the 1945 Constitution and the values of Pancasila, which uphold freedom of expression and social justice. Therefore, while this revision reflects an effort to address the challenges of the digital era, further revisions are necessary to ensure that the law not only meets the needs of law enforcement but also protects human rights, freedom of expression, and remains consistent with the 1945 Constitution and Pancasila. This will prevent the law from becoming a tool for suppressing critical voices and journalistic investigations, which are essential to a healthy democratic society.

Published: February 2025

Background: Three main phenotypes describe heart failure (HF) according to left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). This study aims to describe the characteristics, management and outcomes of hospitalised patients with HF categorised by LVEF. Methods: The Malaysian National Heart Failure (MY-HF) Registry is a 3-year prospective, observational study of patients admitted for acute HF. This analysis includes 2,651 patients categorised into: HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF; LVEF ≤40%), HF with mildly reduced ejection fraction (HFmrEF; LVEF 41−49%) and HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF; LVEF ≥50%). Hospital readmission and mortality outcomes at 30 days and 1 year were examined. Results: The HFrEF subgroup represented the largest proportion of patients (66.2%), followed by HFpEF (22.1%) and HFmrEF (11.7%). The HFpEF subgroup was older (mean age 65.3 ± 13.3 years), had the highest proportion of females (53.5%) and had more patients with de novo HF at admission than the HFrEF subgroup (41.9% versus 31.4%). Comorbidities, such as hypertension, AF and chronic kidney disease, were more prevalent in the HFpEF than HFrEF subgroup. Conversely, more HFrEF patients had ischaemic heart disease and elevated N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide levels (≥1,000 pg/ml). Similar 30-day and 1-year outcome rates were observed across the subgroups except for lower 30-day hospital readmission (p=0.024) and 1-year mortality (p=0.005) in the HFpEF subgroup. Older age (>60 years) and New York Heart Association class III–IV increased 1-year readmission risk. Conclusion: The MY-HF Registry highlighted high 1-year mortality in patients with HF, especially those with advanced NYHA class or chronic kidney disease. This suggests potential areas for improvement in HF management, including medication regimens, adherence and comorbidity management. Future research exploring these factors could significantly impact clinical practice and patient outcomes.
“We did something, but we did it differently…” Crisis, Resilience, and Innovation in Contemporary Hungarian Cheesemaking Practices
Authors: Balogh Pál Géza
Published: February 2025

In the following paper, based on a case study of a specific business sector comprising makers of Hungarian artisanal cheese, I examine the impact of radical changes in the external economic environment on individual economic practices. These changes are often experienced in the form of sudden shocks and crises, over which individuals have little influence. I present the complex situations these individuals face, their efforts to respond, and the potential innovations that may emerge as a result. Based on fieldwork among cheesemakers in Pest, Veszprém, and Baranya counties, the case study presents the complex impacts of two recent crises — the COVID-19 pandemic and the inflation crisis — on the different localities. Focusing on the notion of resilience, I demonstrate the varying responses of the studied cheesemakers to these diverse impacts. The fundamental differences between the two crises allow us to examine important aspects of the functioning of economic practices, including the practical benefits of the strategy of pursuing security and diversification in a crisis situation. The two crises highlighted in different ways the vitally important questions of personal contact and trust in the context of businesses that produce “local foods.” Such aspects represent an important advantage in terms of marketing, and a disadvantage when it comes to pricing. At the same time, the intensifying polycrisis makes the resilience of small-scale farms a key issue for the future.
Satellite remote sensing – A modern tool for monitoring mites (Acari)
Authors: Manu Minodora , Onete Marilena
Published: February 2025

In the present day, it has become extremely important to protect and use natural resources in a “smart” way, focusing on sustainability. Modern techniques which can provide information on the spatial variation, extent, potential and limitations of natural resources can be very useful for human society. Remote sensing technology works by measuring and recording the reflection and the emission of electromagnetic radiation from the target area using sensors. Research projects using this technique for monitoring arthropod diversity are scarce. In this paper we review the pros and cons of using satellite remote sensing for the monitoring of mites. We also discuss those fields for which this technique may be most suitable, and which are the best remote sensing indices to use. In total, 60 scientific papers were analysed and 55 remote sensing indices were assessed. Five indices stood out in terms of their frequency of use, being calculated not only for agricultural fields, orchards or greenhouses, but also in research connected with human health. Application of remote sensing methods to practical management requires: a) determining the scale at which mite invasion can reliably be estimated; b) improving the standardisation of aerial imagery; c) quantifying the environmental factors influencing the imagery; and d) conducting ground-level studies. Remote sensing should enable the effective monitoring of management outcomes and support sustainable land use.

Authors: Kızılca Serkan
Published: February 2025

Background and Study Aim. Warm-up exercises are critical for performance and injury prevention. This study aimed to determine the warm-up knowledge levels of amateur football players.
Material and Methods. The research group in this study consists of 209 male university students from Bitlis province who play football. The “Personal Information Form” and the “Athlete Warm-Up Habit Information Form,” which determine the warm-up habits of the athletes, were used as data collection tools. The SPSS statistical program was used for data analysis. The Independent Samples T-test was used to compare two independent groups, and the One-Way ANOVA test was used for three or more groups. The Bonferroni Post Hoc test was used for multiple comparisons within groups.
Results. A significant difference was found between the warm-up habit knowledge scale scores of amateur football players in terms of sports history and family income level variables (p < 0.05), while no significant difference was found in the variables of weekly training frequency and receiving nutrition education (p > 0.05). It was determined that the warm-up habit knowledge level scores of football players with a sports history of 11 years and above were higher than those of football players with 1–5 years and 6–10 years. It was also determined that the warm-up habit knowledge level scores of football players with high family income levels were higher than those of football players with low- and medium-income levels. Additionally, it was determined that the warm-up habit knowledge level scores of football players with a medium family income level were higher than those of football players with a low-income level.
Conclusions. Amateur football players have a good level of warm-up knowledge, and the duration of participation in sports and a high family income level increase their warm-up knowledge.

Authors: Kahraman Muhammed Zahit , Okut Sedat
Published: February 2025

Background and Study Aim. Body composition, anaerobic power, and jumping performance are important factors for athletic performance. This study aimed to determine the relationship between body composition parameters and anaerobic power and jumping performance in basketball players.
Material and Methods. Twelve male university students specializing in basketball (age: 20.83±2.21 years) participated voluntarily in the study. Body composition measurements and Wingate anaerobic power and countermovement jump (CMJ) tests were applied to the participants. This study was designed as a cross-sectional correlational study. The SPSS package program was used for statistical analysis of the data. The Shapiro-Wilk test was applied to assess the normality of the data. The data were found to follow a normal distribution. The Pearson correlation test was used to analyze relationships within the data.
Results. According to the correlation test results, significant positive relationships were found between fat-free proportion and CMJ, peak power, mean power, and minimum power, while a significant negative relationship was found with the fatigue index. Significant positive relationships were also found between muscle proportion and CMJ, peak power, mean power, and minimum power, whereas a significant negative relationship was observed with the fatigue index. Similarly, significant negative relationships were found between fat proportion and CMJ, peak power, mean power, and minimum power, while a significant positive relationship was observed with the fatigue index. Significant positive relationships were identified between fluid proportion and CMJ, peak power, mean power, and minimum power. Significant negative relationships were found between basal metabolic rate (BMR) and peak power and minimum power, whereas a significant positive relationship was observed with the fatigue index. Lastly, significant negative relationships were found between visceral fat proportion and peak power, mean power, and minimum power, while a significant positive relationship was observed with the fatigue index.
Conclusions. High fat mass negatively affects anaerobic power and jump performance, whereas higher muscle and fluid proportions improve performance. Strength training to increase lean body mass, maintaining fluid-electrolyte balance, and following a balanced nutrition program can positively impact athletic performance.

Authors: Bayrakdar Akan , Güneş Elif
Published: February 2025

Background and Study Aim. Exposure to natural environments is an important factor in physical and mental well-being. However, the specific effects of outdoor walking on cognitive and physiological health still require the search for effective solutions. This study aims to examine the effects of walking exercises in natural environments on the physiological and cognitive health of university students.
Materials and Methods. Thirty-two university students leading a sedentary lifestyle participated in the study. The experimental group (age = 21.25 ± 1.61) walked in nature twice a week for eight weeks, covering distances ranging from 6 to 10 km. The control group (age = 22.00 ± 1.54) maintained their sedentary lifestyle during this period. Reaction time, accuracy rate, memory capacity, cognitive performance, resting heart rate (RHR), and oxygen saturation level (SpO₂) were measured before and after the study. These measurements were recorded using OpenSesame software and analyzed using the visual memory paradigm. Data were processed using SPSS 26.0 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY), with statistical significance set at p < 0.05.
Results. Although reaction time increased by 5.15% in the experimental group, no significant difference was found. Accuracy rate (8.42%), memory capacity (7.52%), cognitive performance (9.60%), oxygen saturation (1.03%), and RHR (4.26%) improved significantly. Pre-test and post-test comparisons revealed significant differences (p < 0.001) in these variables. In the control group, a statistically significant difference was observed only in RHR, while no significant changes were found in other variables. Intergroup comparisons showed no significant difference in reaction time; however, accuracy rate, memory capacity, cognitive performance, oxygen saturation, and RHR demonstrated significant differences (p < 0.001).
Conclusions. Regular walking in natural environments positively affects cognitive and physiological health. It also improves RHR and oxygen saturation while enhancing cognitive performance.

Published: February 2025

Background and Study Aim. Obesity has become a global health concern and high-intensity interval training (HIIT) has emerged as an effective exercise modality for improving body composition, promoting weight loss, and increasing cardiovascular fitness. This study aimed to investigate the effects of progressive 3 by 3 cycling interval training on cardiovascular fitness and body composition in overweight individuals.
Material and Methods. Fifteen overweight undergraduate students were recruited (age = 20.2 ± 0.7 years; body weight = 78.2 ± 16.2 kg; BMI = 27.2 ± 3.7 kg/m²; height = 168.9 ± 8.0 cm). The participants engaged in an 8-week progressive 3 by 3 cycling interval training program, consisting of 3 sessions per week. Body composition was measured using bioelectrical impedance analysis, blood lipid profiles were tested, and maximum oxygen consumption (VO₂max) was assessed at baseline and after the intervention. A one-way ANOVA was conducted to evaluate changes between pre- and post-intervention measurements.
Results. The findings demonstrated that there were no significant changes in body composition parameters, including body weight, BMI, body fat percentage, fat mass, and visceral fat (all p > 0.05, all ES = Trivial). Similarly, blood lipid profile parameters were also not significantly changed between pre-intervention and post-intervention (all p > 0.05, all ES = Trivial). However, VO₂max significantly increased after 8 weeks of training (95% CI = 1.27–8.25 ml·kg⁻¹·min⁻¹, ES = Moderate, p = 0.011).
Conclusions. The progressive 3 by 3 cycling interval training was effective in enhancing cardiovascular fitness in overweight individuals and may help reduce cardiovascular risk associated with low VO₂max.

A pandemia de COVID-19 ocasionou o isolamento social e possíveis impactos nas famílias que precisaram se reorganizar com todos dentro de casa, implicando em novas demandas. A partir disso, objetivou-se, por meio de uma pesquisa qualitativa, investigar a aplicabilidade do espaçograma em períodos críticos entendendo-o como um instrumento para verificar a organização familiar na casa. Para tanto, foram entrevistados três casais que possuíam no mínimo um filho entre sete e doze anos de idade, residentes no interior do Paraná e que pelo menos um dos cônjuges tivesse ficado em teletrabalho. Os casais realizaram um espaçograma para ilustrar a planta da casa e as alterações que ocorreram neste período. Os dados foram analisados de acordo com a interpretação psicanalítica dos desenhos para compreender os impactos do isolamento na família. Observou-se que o uso de espaçograma no período pandêmico trouxe novas possibilidades de interpretações e de aplicabilidade em momentos de sofrimento. Espera-se que as informações advindas desta pesquisa possam proporcionar uma maior compreensão da utilização do espaçograma em períodos de sofrimento da família, considerando-o como um instrumento que se adequa e possibilita análises diferentes para um período similar.
REFLEXÕES SOBRE A RELAÇÃO ENTRE: AS MULHERES, A SUBJETIVIDADE SOCIAL E O TORNAR-SE SUJEITO
Authors: Faber de Almeida Rosa Laís , Deusdará Mori Valéria
Published: February 2025

O objetivo desse ensaio teórico é discutir a relação entre a subjetividade social e a representação das mulheres e seus posicionamentos na sociedade atual. As representações são disseminadas e perpetuadas por meio de diferentes obras artísticas, dentre elas, os filmes de princesas da Disney que acompanham gerações desde 1930. Fundamentado na Teoria da Subjetividade (González Rey & Mitjáns Martínez, 2017), esse tema foi discutido articulando esta teoria, as discussões de Mannoni (1999) sobre as tentativas de silenciamento feminino e a relação amorosa de Arendt e Heidegger (Heberlein, 2021). O valor da Teoria da Subjetividade para essa discussão está em sua articulação entre individual e social e em seu conceito de tornar-se sujeito, como uma tentativa de abrir caminhos para as mulheres.

of Deep Learning (DL) is its ability to automatically learn complex patterns and feature representations, making it a
powerful alternative for such problems. This paper is structured to introduce a deep learning framework designed to
address the challenges faced in high-dimensional data analytics and state-of-the-art solutions. We explore techniques
such as Dimensionality Reduction, Feature Extraction, Optimization Strategies, and Scalability.

ABSTRACT Background: Forests in the Atlantic Forest Domain are increasingly threatened by fire, which disrupts their structure, biodiversity, and resilience. This study investigates how fire impacts functional diversity, community structure, and regeneration in fragmented forest patches near urban areas. Results: We analyzed three types of forest patches: Closed Forest, Perturbed Forest (Once-burned Forest), and Burned Forest (Twice-burned Forest). Significant differences were found in species composition, diversity, and structural parameters among these vegetation types. Closed Forests exhibited the highest levels of functional diversity, structural complexity, and species richness. In contrast, Perturbed and Burned Forests showed reduced functional diversity, lower community-level traits, and diminished resilience. Functional metrics, such as functional divergence (Fdiv) and functional richness (Fric), were notably lower in fire-affected areas. Additionally, fire occurrence influenced dispersal modes, with animal-dispersed species predominating and a notable absence of large-seeded species. Conclusion: The study highlights the significant impact of fire on forest regeneration. Recurrent fires lead to decreased species diversity and functional redundancy, transforming closed-canopy forests into more open, savanna-like landscapes. The absence of large-seeded and animal-dispersed species further impedes the regeneration and resilience of fragmented Atlantic Forests. These findings underscore the need for targeted conservation and management strategies to support forest recovery and maintain biodiversity in fire-prone regions.
Avifauna of a white-sand forest in the Colombian Amazon
Authors: COLORADO Z. Gabriel J. , VALENCIA-C Giovany
Published: February 2025

ABSTRACT White-sand forests are unique ecosystems with high levels of biological specificity. Despite their uniqueness, these ecosystems have significant knowledge gaps in Colombia regarding the associated vertebrate communities, particularly birds. Between February and March 2015, richness and composition of birds in a white-sand forest in the southern-most region of the Colombian Amazon were evaluated using mist nets and censuses. 38 bird species were detected, less than half of the number recorded in the surrounding terra-firme forest (81 species). In addition, the white-sand forest exhibited a high degree of specificity, as indicated by a Jaccard index of 0.25 when compared to the terra-firme forest. Although this ecosystem currently faces low conservation threats in this region of Colombia, its biological fragility and specificity, and the absence of a legal protection status, make it a vulnerable ecosystem.
Dificuldades no ensinar e aprender Bioquímica: a videoaula como ferramenta educacional
Authors: Pereira Pinheiro Fernanda , Calábria Luciana Karen
Published: February 2025

A Bioquímica é um conteúdo importante e necessário na formação profissional em alguns cursos de graduação, mas é de difícil assimilação, podendo gerar repulsa pela carência conhecimentos prévios de Química na escola básica. Por essa razão, um elevado nível de dedicação é exigido do educador para práticas metodológicas e pedagógicas que despertem curiosidade e interesse do estudante e melhore o processo de ensino. Na intenção de identificar as limitações desse processo, esse trabalho sondou os principais assuntos que geram dificuldade no ensinar e aprender Bioquímica e levantou no YouTube os vídeos publicados nos diferentes temas que abordam a Bioquímica. As maiores dificuldades apontadas foram a “assimilação” (56,8%), o “aprendizado” (32,4%) e “densidade da ementa” (31,1%). Ainda, as “anotações das aulas” (71,6%) e “livros didáticos” (66,2%) são os materiais que os estudantes mais recorrem para estudar. Além disso, o ciclo do ácido cítrico (55,4%), cadeia transportadora de elétrons (52,7%), bioenergética (45,9%) e lipídeos (45,9%) são os temas que mais geram dificuldade de entendimento. Já no YouTube, vídeos explicativos em diferentes línguas foram levantados para todos os conteúdos apontados na sondagem. Assim, foi possível identificar limitações no ensino e no aprendizado da Bioquímica, como a deficiência adquirida no nível básico em química orgânica, a falta de estrutura laboratorial que dificulta a visualização micro, tornando os vídeos um facilitador em sala de aula. Contudo, o uso do vídeo é dependente da concentração do educando no meio digital, do acesso à internet, de equipamentos e planejamento docente, não substituindo os esclarecimentos docentes.
Transformação, Plataformas e Vulnerabilidades Digitais: proposição de uma abordagem para estudos de tecnologia
Authors: Botelho-Francisco Rodrigo Eduardo
Published: February 2025

Ao longo da história dos computadores e da Internet, expressões como exclusão digital, brecha digital ou inclusão digital foram utilizadas para denunciar como diferentes públicos experimentam estas tecnologias desde diferentes perspectivas, podendo usufruir mais ou menos de seus benefícios. A posse ou acesso, no entanto, não revela a complexidade da apropriação de uma tecnologia. Mais do que tê-la é preciso saber utilizá-la numa perspectiva crítica, criativa e ética. No bojo deste debate, este trabalho tem como objetivo desenvolver uma abordagem para observação da transformação digital e das plataformas digitais para além de uma perspectiva binária. Para tanto, promove revisão bibliográfica, buscando estabelecer esta reflexão a partir de uma literatura científica interdisciplinar, observando a tradição de pensamento de outras áreas no entorno da vulnerabilidade. Como resultado, propõe o conceito de Vulnerabilidades Digitais e o discute a partir do estabelecimento de dimensões naturais, socioculturais, socioeconômicas, geopolíticas, materiais e técnico-científicas. Elas funcionam como um ponto de partida e uma agenda de pesquisa, assim como um modelo de análise para diferentes contextos da pesquisa sobre transformação digital, plataformas digitais e plataformização. Espera-se, com o exercício, apresentar uma lente adequada e multidimensional para estudos de tecnologia, especialmente a partir do Sul Global, onde as Vulnerabilidades Digitais possuem características e potencial de disseminação particulares.

Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the leading cause of tumor-related death in humans. Radiotherapy is a crucial strategy for NSCLC treatment, although its effectiveness is limited by the radio-resistance of tumor cells. Our current research finds that the protein arginine methyltransferase 7 (PRMT7) is upregulated in NSCLC and correlates with poor prognosis. Pharmacological inhibition of PRMT7 by SGC3027, a specific small-molecule PRMT7 inhibitor, suppresses the proliferation, migration and invasion of NSCLC. Combining irradiation with SGC3027 strengthens the impact of irradiation on the biological behaviors of NSCLC cells. We also find that SGC3027 specifically activates ATM kinase and its downstream cell cycle checkpoint kinases to enhance radiobiological response in NSCLC. These findings underscore the promising therapeutic potential of PRMT7 inhibitors as well as combining PRMT7 inhibition with irradiation exposure for effective NSCLC therapies.

Authors: Kim Yuwon , Park Myonghwa
Published: February 2025

Purpose: This study aimed to examine the multifaceted factors influencing elderly patients’ intention to use digital healthcare services based on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology model. Methods: Data were collected using a questionnaire from 103 elderly patients aged ≥65 years at a general hospital, a health sub-center, and a health clinic in City Sejong from April 25, 2023 to July 29, 2023. Measures included effort expectancy, performance expectancy, social influence, and intention to use digital healthcare services. Data were analyzed using independent t-tests, one-way ANOVA, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, and hierarchical multiple regression. Results: The factors with the greatest influence on the intention to use digital healthcare services among elderly patients aged ≥65 years were social influence (β=.62, p<.001), followed by effort expectancy (β=.24, p=.001). The explanatory power of these variables was 68% (ΔF=51.80, p<.001). Conclusion: Developing and providing standardized intervention strategies to enhance social influence and effort expectancy regarding digital healthcare services for elderly patients could improve their intention to use these services.

Purpose: This study aims to identify caregiving burden, depression, quality of life, and institutionalization among family caregivers of home-based long-term-care insurance beneficiaries and to analyze various factors influencing these outcomes. Methods: A secondary data analysis was employed to investigate the impact of various factors on caregivers’ experiences. The study used data from the 2016 Long-Term Care Service Utilization and Care Needs Survey, targeting 1,767 family caregivers of long-term-care beneficiaries. The original survey data included the Zarit Burden Interview for caregiver burden, the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale for depression, and the new five-level version of EQ-5D for quality of life. Institutionalization status was identified using the long-term care database until the end of November 2023. Results: A high caregiving burden was reported by 44% of caregivers and 47.6% of family caregivers were found to be depressed. The average quality of life score was 0.82±0.14, with differences observed based on the participants’ characteristics. Among the study participants, 29.4% of the care recipients were institutionalized. Compared to caregiving burden, depression, and quality of life, the health status of the beneficiaries and their long-term-care service utilization patterns were significant factors influencing institutionalization. Conclusion: To reduce family caregivers’ burden and to decrease institutionalization rates, it is crucial to enhance home-care services and offer a variety of community-based resources. Effective welfare policies should be established to support these efforts.
