Published: December 2021

This study analyzed the Philippine public school teachers' financial literacy challenges. The data and results were gathered through online survey questionnaires and focused group discussions conducted in the school year 2019-2020. Twelve participants contributed to the FGD, while a total of 325 teacher respondents answered the online survey questionnaires. The results showed that the majority of the public-school teachers are struggling financially. That results in a controlled and limited financial lifestyle. Moreover, teachers unconsciously practice informal debt, which causes uncontrolled debt. Without proper knowledge and education to financial literacy, borrowing money becomes a lifestyle of every teacher in the country. Based on the findings, a financial literacy program must be included in every in-service training or division-wide teachers' mass gathering. The financial literacy program may be implemented by all participating schools where the study was conducted. Future research related to financial literacy programs may be conducted in basic education, colleges, and universities following the method used in this study.

This study examines and analyzes the influence of money available, time availability, and the promotion of impulse purchases through positive emotions as a mediating variable on chocolate snack products. This research is quantitative research conducted in Hypermart Malang Town Square (Matos), Giant Hypermarket Malang Olympic Garden (MOG), Giant Ekstra Sawojajar, and Giant Ekstra Kebonagung. The population studied were consumers who bought chocolate snack products on impulse purchases. The sample used 190 respondents. Data collection techniques using questionnaires, interviews, and literature review. Data analysis techniques in this research use validity test, reliable test, linear test, diagram test, PLS, and hypothesis test on the variable of money availability, time availability, promotion, impulse purchase, and positive emotion on chocolate snack product. This study indicates that the variable availability of money can impact positive emotional variables. The varying availability of money cannot impact impulse buying variables. The time availability variable does not affect the positive emotional variables. Meanwhile, the time availability variable impacts the impulse buying variable. Furthermore, promotional variables affect positive emotional variables as well as impulse buying variables. However, the positive emotional variable has no impact on the impulse buying variable. The positive emotional variable proved the relationship between money and promotional variables' variable availability in the mediation test. In contrast, the variable availability of time is not a provable positive emotional variable as a liaison influence the variable of time availability with impulse buying.

Published: December 2021

Physical distancing and stay-at-home instructions to break the chain of the spread of Covid-19 have led various organizations to change their work policy from work from the office to work from home. The specific objective of this study is to examine the link between the readiness of work-home resources in carrying out work from home, work motivation, and work-family conflict. The questionnaire is distributed to lecturers of public higher education institutes in Indonesia through online media by quantitative methods. Data from 131 respondents were then processed using SEM-SmartPLS. The results showed that work-home resource readiness negatively affected work-family conflict and significantly positively affected work motivation. Work motivation has no significant positive impact on work-family conflict. Thus, work motivation cannot mediate the relationship between work-home resource readiness and work-family conflict. Further research regarding work-home resources readiness in another job field would give a different perspective as lecturers have more independent working time than other employees.

Detecting and Measuring Depression on Social Media Using a Machine Learning Approach: Systematic Review
Authors: Liu Danxia , Feng Xing Lin , Ahmed Farooq , Shahid Muhammad , Guo Jing
Published: December 2021

Background

Detection of depression gained prominence soon after this troublesome disease emerged as a serious public health concern worldwide.

Objective

This systematic review aims to summarize the findings of previous studies concerning applying machine learning (ML) methods to text data from social media to detect depressive symptoms and to suggest directions for future research in this area.

Methods

A bibliographic search was conducted for the period of January 1990 to December 2020 in Google Scholar, PubMed, Medline, ERIC, PsycINFO, and BioMed. Two reviewers retrieved and independently assessed the 418 studies consisting of 322 articles identified through database searching and 96 articles identified through other sources; 17 of the studies met the criteria for inclusion.

Results

Of the 17 studies, 10 had identified depression based on researcher-inferred mental status, 5 had identified it based on users’ own descriptions of their mental status, and 2 were identified based on community membership. The ML approaches of 13 of the 17 studies were supervised learning approaches, while 3 used unsupervised learning approaches; the remaining 1 study did not describe its ML approach. Challenges in areas such as sampling, optimization of approaches to prediction and their features, generalizability, privacy, and other ethical issues call for further research.

Conclusions

ML approaches applied to text data from users on social media can work effectively in depression detection and could serve as complementary tools in public mental health practice.
Internet-Delivered Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Generalized Anxiety Disorder in Nationwide Routine Care: Effectiveness Study
Authors: Ritola Ville , Lipsanen Jari Olavi , Pihlaja Satu , Gummerus Eero-Matti , Stenberg Jan-Henry , Saarni Suoma , Joffe Grigori
Published: December 2021

Background

Therapist-supported, internet-delivered cognitive behavioral therapy (iCBT) is efficacious for generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), but few studies are yet to report its effectiveness in routine care.

Objective

In this study, we aim to examine whether a new 12-session iCBT program for GAD is effective in nationwide routine care.

Methods

We administered a specialized, clinic-delivered, therapist-supported iCBT for GAD in 1099 physician-referred patients. The program was free of charge for patients, and the completion time was not predetermined. We measured symptoms with web-based questionnaires. The primary measure of anxiety was the GAD 7-item scale (GAD-7); secondary measures were, for pathological worry, the Penn State Worry Questionnaire and, for anxiety and impairment, the Overall Anxiety Severity and Impairment Scale.

Results

Patients completed a mean 7.8 (SD 4.2; 65.1%) of 12 sessions, and 44.1% (485/1099) of patients completed all sessions. The effect size in the whole sample for GAD-7 was large (Cohen d=0.97, 95% CI 0.88-1.06). For completers, effect sizes were very large (Cohen d=1.34, 95% CI 1.25-1.53 for GAD-7; Cohen d=1.14, 95% CI 1.00-1.27 for Penn State Worry Questionnaire; and Cohen d=1.23, 95% CI 1.09-1.37 for Overall Anxiety Severity and Impairment Scale). Noncompleters also benefited from the treatment. Greater symptomatic GAD-7–measured relief was associated with more completed sessions, older age, and being referred from private or occupational care. Of the 894 patients with a baseline GAD-7 score ≥10, approximately 421 (47.1%) achieved reliable recovery.

Conclusions

This nationwide, free-of-charge, therapist-supported HUS Helsinki University Hospital–iCBT for GAD was effective in routine care, but further research must establish effectiveness against other treatments and optimize the design of iCBT for GAD for different patient groups and individual patients.
Awareness, Prevention, Detection, and Therapy Applications for Depression and Anxiety in Serious Games for Children and Adolescents: Systematic Review (Preprint)
Authors: Martinez Kim , Menéndez-Menéndez Maria Isabel , Bustillo Andres
Published: December 2021

BACKGROUND

Depression and anxiety in children and adolescents are major health problems worldwide. In recent years, serious games research has advanced in the development of tools to address these mental health conditions. However, there has not been an extensive analysis of these games, their tendencies, and capacities.

OBJECTIVE

This review aims to gather the most current serious games, published from 2015 to 2020, with a new approach focusing on their applications: awareness, prevention, detection, and therapy. The purpose is also to analyze the implementation, development, and evaluation of these tools to obtain trends, strengths, and weaknesses for future research lines.

METHODS

The identification of the serious games through a literature search was conducted on the databases PubMed, Scopus, Wiley, Taylor and Francis, Springer, PsycINFO, PsycArticles, Web of Science, and Science Direct. The identified records were screened to include only the manuscripts meeting these criteria: a serious game for PC, smartphone, or virtual reality; developed by research teams; targeting only depression or anxiety or both; aiming specifically at children or adolescents.

RESULTS

A total of 34 studies have been found that developed serious games for PC, smartphone, and virtual reality devices and tested them in children and adolescents. Most of the games address both conditions and are applied in prevention and therapy. Nevertheless, there is a trend that anxiety is targeted more in childhood and depression targeted more in adolescence. Regarding design, the game genres arcade minigames, adventure worlds, and social simulations are used, in this order. For implementation, these serious games usually require sessions of 1 hour and are most often played using a PC. Moreover, the common evaluation tools are normalized questionnaires that measure acquisition of skills or reduction of symptoms. Most studies collect and compare these data before and after the participants play.

CONCLUSIONS

The results show that more awareness and detection games are needed, as well as games that mix the awareness, prevention, detection, and therapy applications. In addition, games for depression and anxiety should equally target all age ranges. For future research, the development and evaluation of serious games should be standardized, so the implementation of serious games as tools would advance. The games should always offer support while playing, in addition to collecting data on participant behavior during the game to better analyze their learning. Furthermore, there is an open line regarding the use of virtual reality for these games due to the capabilities offered by this technology.

Authors: Martindale-Adams Jennifer Lynn , Clark Carolyn Davis , Martin Jessica Roxy , Henderson Charles R , Nichols Linda Olivia
Published: December 2021

BACKGROUND

While there are many interventions to support caregivers, text messaging has the capability to be an adjunct to clinical practice on a wide-spread basis. The Department of Veterans Affairs Annie text messaging system was developed to assist Veterans with self-care.

OBJECTIVE

This paper reports on the first system-wide implementation of a text messaging protocol for caregivers in a national health care system with an Annie stress management protocol for caregivers of Veterans.

METHODS

After pilot testing, in late 2019, a year-long protocol for caregivers with three messages a week focusing on education, motivation/inspiration, and activities to alleviate stress was begun. An online evaluation occurs at six months.

RESULTS

As of September 2021, 3807 caregivers had participated in the stress protocol. Caregivers report that the messages have been useful in increasing their confidence, managing their stress, and helping them take care of themselves and their loved one. This success has led to bereavement, taking care of you, COVID-19 precautions and symptoms, and dementia behaviors protocols, with a total of 5643 caregivers enrolled as of September 2021.

CONCLUSIONS

Caregivers frequently feel overlooked by the health care system but caregivers report that the messages make them feel cared for and less lonely. Text messaging, incorporated into clinical settings and health care systems, represents a seamless, low-cost way to provide useful and meaningful support to caregivers.
Practical Challenges to Teachers and Students in Asynchronous Cross-cultural Communication Projects
Authors: Sato Kate J. M. , Horn Birte W.
Published: December 2021

Teachers are expected to prepare their students for life in a world that changes daily, fueled by technological progress and globalisation (Howells, 2018). In this internationalized world, English has become the lingua franca for business, science and education (Tatsioka et al., 2018). Young professionals are expected to be proficient in English and able to easily communicate with colleagues from other countries. Achieving these objectives presents challenges for teachers and students. Practical approaches to incorporating authentic communication across cultures in the English language classroom are discussed in this paper. Over three years we authors implemented several projects using different didactic methods to bring students from Japan and Germany together to improve their proficiency in language as well as their cross-cultural communication skills. Students worked in small teams on joint tasks, in which the use of ICT (information and communication technologies) was crucial to successful outcome. Naturally, any careful advance planning was quickly met by the emergence of unforeseen problems that needed immediate attention from teachers and students. In this paper, we focus on challenges teachers and students may encounter when developing new strategies to include meaningful cross-cultural and intercultural exchanges in the tertiary ELF classroom, based on teacher and student experiences.

Published: December 2021

El objetivo de este documento es analizar la sincronización de los ciclos económicos de México y Estados Unidos durante el periodo 1981-2017 mediante la estimación de un coeficiente de correlación condicional dinámica que permite tener una estimación para cada periodo de tiempo. Los resultados, obtenidos a partir de distintos indicadores de producción y métodos de eliminación de tendencia, muestran un aumento desde la apertura de la economía mexicana a mediados de la década de 1980, especialmente durante las recesiones de 2001-2002 y 2008-2009 y también una serie de descensos aislados, explicados por diferencias en los ritmos de crecimiento de ambas economías, y una declinación sostenida en la fase pos-Gran Recesión que se explica principalmente por reducciones en el comercio exterior.

 

SYNCHRONIZATION OF THE BUSINESS CYCLES OF MEXICO AND THE UNITED STATES: A DYNAMIC CORRELATION APPROACH

ABSTRACT

The objective of this paper is to analyze the business cycle synchronization of Mexico and the United States over the period 1981-2017 by estimating a dynamic conditional correlation coefficient that allows us to have an estimate for each time period. The results, obtained from different production indicators and different de-trending methods, show an increase in this synchronization after the opening of the Mexican economy in the mid-eighties, especially during the common recessions of 2001-2002 and 2008-2009, and some isolated drops explained by differences in the growth rates of both economies as well as a sustained decline in the post-Great Recession phase resulting from the decline of international trade.
LA COMPOSICIÓN DE LA CAPACIDAD TRIBUTARIA: EVIDENCIA PARA UN PANEL DE PAÍSES
Authors: Muller Durán Nancy Ivonne
Published: December 2021

En este documento analizo la relación que existe entre el crecimiento económico, el comercio exterior y la capacidad tributaria. Sostengo que los impuestos no necesariamente distorsionan la eficiencia y que dependen de la actividad económica. Para documentar la hipótesis realizo cuatro modelos panel cointegrados para un grupo de 55 países y su subsecuente división de acuerdo con tres niveles de ingreso para el periodo de 1990-2018. Los resultados obtenidos muestran que el crecimiento económico es una condición sine qua non para determinar la capacidad recaudatoria pero no es suficiente en aquellos países con desigualdad económica. Por lo tanto, es necesario estimular el desarrollo económico y promover reformas fiscales progresivas.

 

THE COMPOSITION OF TAX EFFORT: EVIDENCE FOR A PANEL OF COUNTRIES.

ABSTRACT

This document analyzes the relationship between economic growth, foreign trade and tax capacity. It is argued that taxes do not distort efficiency and that they depend on economic activity. In order to empirically support our hypothesis, four cointegrated panel models are carried out for a group of 55 countries and their subsequent division according to three income levels for the period 1990-2018. The results obtained show that economic growth is a sine qua non condition for determining tax capacity, but it is not enough in countries plagued with economic inequality. Therefore, it is necessary to stimulate economic development and promote progressive fiscal reforms.

AbstractPeromyscus yucatanicus, Heteromys gaumeri and Otonyctomys hatti are small endemic rodents of the Yucatan Peninsula. To understand the ecological and geographic distribution of these rodent species in the region, we used ecological niche modeling (ENM) and reconstructed the historical (Pleistocene), current, and potential impact of climate change (2050), on the spatial suitability areas. According to our models, the three species reduced their coverage from the Pleistocene to the current, but under future scenarios a slight increase of the suitable areas for all of them is predicted. However, the ecological niche of O. hatti is narrow, specialized and different from that of P. yucatanicus or H. gaumeri, which together occupy a relatively similar niche and have substantial overlap in the geographic distribution of suitable habitat. Many regions of the current and potential distribution of O. hatti are not under protection even though it is a threatened species. Our results could be used as an important element to re-evaluate the conservation areas of O. hatti throughout its potential range.

MÉTODOS DE LECTURA Y ACCESO AL LÉXICO ON-LINE EN LECTORES PRINCIPIANTES
Authors: Villar Delia , Vieiro Pilar
Published: December 2021

El presente estudio fue diseñado con el objetivo de analizar el acceso al léxico on-line en alumnos de primero de primaria teniendo en cuenta el método de aprendizaje utilizado en la escuela. Con este fin seleccionamos dos grupos de alumnos (receptores de un método global y receptores de un método sintético-fonético) donde se analizaron las respuestas de los sujetos en base a las tasas de verificación (lectura de palabras) y tiempos de lectura. Para ello manipulamos los estímulos en base a una serie de criterios (grado de familiaridad de la palabra, longitud de la misma y frecuencia silábica posicional). Los estudiantes del método global mostraron mayores dificultades de decodificación ya que los tiempos de lectura en palabras de familiaridad baja y frecuencia silábica posicional baja fueron significativamente mayores. Mientras que los alumnos del método sintético resultaron ser más hábiles con la decodificación pero sus tiempos de lectura fueron significativamente mayores en prácticamente todos los parámetros. Por lo que se constata la idea de que el método de aprendizaje influye en las estrategias utilizadas por los estudiantes dependiendo de las características léxicas y subléxicas de la palabra.
On tensor network representations of the (3+1)d toric code
Authors: Delcamp Clement , Schuch Norbert
Published: December 2021

We define two dual tensor network representations of the (3+1)d toric code ground state subspace. These two representations, which are obtained by initially imposing either family of stabilizer constraints, are characterized by different virtual symmetries generated by string-like and membrane-like operators, respectively. We discuss the topological properties of the model from the point of view of these virtual symmetries, emphasizing the differences between both representations. In particular, we argue that, depending on the representation, the phase diagram of boundary entanglement degrees of freedom is naturally associated with that of a (2+1)d Hamiltonian displaying either a global or a gaugeZ2-symmetry.
The Problem of Demarcation of Information Conflicts: Philosophical-Methodological Analysis
Authors: Zubkov Nicolay A. , Nikitina Elena A.
Published: December 2021

The phenomenon of information conflict at the moment is an actual research object of many social and humanitarian disciplines. On the other hand, there is a lack of fundamental theoretical, primarily philosophical and methodological, research on this issue. This is expressed, inter alia, in the absence of philosophical and methodological grounds for isolating an information conflict from the totality of all objectively observed communications, i.e. demarcation of the phenomenon. The problem of finding criteria for an information conflict is of key importance in the formation of the methodological foundations and categorical apparatus for studying this phenomenon. In this regard, the need to develop theoretical foundations for the demarcation of information conflict is an urgent research task. The object of this work is the phenomenon of information conflict as part of the communicative process. The subject of the research is the problem of demarcation of information conflicts from all aggregate communications. The purpose of the study is to describe and substantiate the existing object-oriented methodologies that allow for the demarcation procedure. The following tasks are adequately formulated for the purpose of the study: 1) describe the problem of demarcation; 2) identify the communicative grounds of the information conflict; 3) analyze and highlight the main approaches to the problem of demarcation of information conflict. The novelty of the work lies in the systematic description and structuring of methodological approaches to the problem of demarcation of information conflicts, as well as analysis of the boundaries of methodologies and approaches. In the course of the work, it was determined and proved that, relying solely on the theory of communication, it is impossible to adequately carry out the demarcation procedure; it is necessary to use additional, non-communicative demarcation criteria, which is due to the variety of demarcation approaches in various studies. In conclusion, conclusions are formulated about the limitations of object-oriented approaches for solving the problem of demarcation of information conflicts.

Travessias: espaços da casa e vidas negras
Authors: Fuentes Susana
Published: December 2021

Este estudo nasce a partir da leitura e meu processo de tradução para o inglês do conto “Cândido Abdellah Jr.”, de Cristiane Sobral (SOBRAL, 2021). Aqui, pretendo pensar o espaço da casa como um espaço do bem e do mal, notando aspectos de intimidade e identidades no conto. Problemas da branquitude, a imaginação literária do branco em seus jogos de expulsar da intimidade o negro, ou a criança negra, num gesto de tentar apagar singularidades e diferenças, na afirmação de uma superioridade que reassegura territórios. Preconceitos e castigos que têm sido uma constante na história do imaginário social brasileiro permeiam o conto de Sobral, mas no movimento de lançar pistas a autora surpreende os leitores com novos caminhos para seu protagonista, o Cândido. Em perspectiva comparada e intercultural, a tradução foi um caminho de diálogo com temporalidades de uma diáspora, tempos e vozes que emergem quando se escutam os potenciais ruídos do texto.

The article is a continuation of our works devoted to I. A. Goncharov's novel trilogy (“Ordinary History”, “Oblomov”, “Cliff ”) and, at the same time, to the traditions of Dante's “Divine Comedy” in this trilogy. We are talking about the similarity of philosophical and theological attitudes (“the deification of man”), which found expression in the poetics of Dante's poem and Goncharov's novels, built into a single work. It is suggested that the early “super-task” of the writer to create a novel trilogy could have been formed under the influence of F. S. Schelling’s article “On Dante from a Philosophical Point of View”, which suggests that every major epoch can reproduce a three-part work in the spirit of the “Divine Comedy”. Especially important, in addition to the three-part structure, is the poetics of light in “Divine Comedy” and Goncharov’s novels — with a weakened attention (and almost complete absence in Goncharov’s works) of the color scheme. This feature of the poetics of the two writers seems to be connected with the deeply embedded theological meaning of their works and a single common source — the Holy Scripture.

Background: Lung ultrasound (LUS) has been shown to be an effective tool
to rapidly diagnose certain causes of pediatric respiratory distress in
the emergency department. However, very little is known about LUS
findings in pediatric asthma outside of acute exacerbations. Objectives:
The primary objective of this study was to characterize LUS findings in
a cohort of pediatric patients with a definitive diagnosis of asthma,
outside of an asthma exacerbation. Methods: Eligible patients, aged 6 to
17 years old and diagnosed with asthma, underwent LUS during an
outpatient visit. LUS was conducted using a six-zone scanning protocol.
A positive LUS was defined by one or more of the following: ≥3 B-lines
per intercostal space, pulmonary consolidation and/or pleural anomaly.
Images were interpreted by an expert sonographer blinded to patient
clinical characteristics. Results: 52 patients were included. 10/52
patients had a positive LUS (19.2%, 95CI 8.3-30.1%). Of those with
positive LUS findings, 8 had B lines, 7 had consolidations
<1cm, 1 had a pleural line abnormality and 1 had a
consolidation >1cm. Positive findings were seen in the
right anterior and lateral zones in 60% of participants and were
limited to 1-2 intercostal spaces within one lung zone in 100% of
participants. Conclusion: To our knowledge, this is the first report of
LUS findings in outpatient pediatric asthma. Positive LUS findings in
asthmatic children can be seen outside of acute exacerbations. Such
findings need to be taken into consideration when using LUS for the
acute evaluation of a pediatric patient with asthma.
Analisi della variazione dei principali parametri di qualità dell'aria durante la pandemia da COVID-19
Authors: Mautone Arianna
Published: December 2021

L’inquinamento atmosferico può essere definito come la presenza in aria
di una o più sostanze in concentrazione tale da avere la potenzialità di
produrre un effetto avverso. Concorrono all’inquinamento  fattori, quali
l’antropizzazione del territorio, le interazioni chimico-fisiche che
avvengono tra sostanze in atmosfera e le condizioni meteorologiche. Per
far fronte alla tutela della qualità dell’aria sono stati introdotti
degli Strumenti legislativi che pongono limiti alle emissioni nazionali,
alle concentrazioni degli inquinanti in aria e obbligano Stati, Regioni
e Province autonome a predisporre Piani per il risanamento dell’aria in
caso di non conformità con i parametri prestabiliti. La valutazione
della qualità dell’aria è effettuata attraverso le reti di monitoraggio,
ossia punti di misura dislocati sul territorio secondo criteri e metodi
definiti. L’obiettivo del presente studio è l’analisi approfondita dei
dati di qualità dell’aria per la valutazione degli effetti delle
differenti misure restrittive attuate per far fronte all’emergenza
sanitaria da Sars-CoV-2. Nello specifico, le analisi sono state condotte
mediante il confronto dei dati di qualità dell’aria dell’anno 2020
rispetto all’anno 2019 registrati nelle Regioni Campania, Emilia-Romagna
e Piemonte. I risultati hanno consentito di confermare come,
generalmente, il lockdown abbia contribuito ad una significativa
riduzione in termini di concentrazioni di ossidi di azoto.
CIED guideline recommendations in the setting of advisories
Authors: Sawyer Michael , Gould Paul
Published: December 2021

Subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillators (S-ICDs) are
currently indicated for patients who meet ICD implantation criteria for
the prevention of sudden cardiac death (SCD). In December 2020, a unique
cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) situation arose as both the
S-ICD generator and electrode were under a device advisory. We would
recommend all future CIED implantation guidelines receive a caveat
regarding checking current CIED advisories, in order to avoid future
similar scenarios.
A Leadership Role: Creating an Ethics of Diversity

Although we desire peace and tranquility, harmony and social stability, life can be harsh and brutish. We also acknowledge exploiting the values of others for self- aggrandizement negates their sacred personhood. And although we dance on the summit of individual rights and liberties conceding their personal and private nature, we need to understand democracy is built on a collectivity of like-minded people, on a foundation of dialogic civility, communal accountability, and a moral sensibility that is pubic and open to criticism and adjustments.
Changing Parental Perceptions Adding Value to School Improvement Processes in Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan
Authors: Shafa Moladad , Baig Sharifullah
Published: December 2021

Parental perceptions and perspectives play a critical role in their motivation, interest, participation, and valuation of children’s education which ultimately influences the quality of education in schools. This article reports the change of perception and perspectives of the parents under the influence of a comprehensive school improvement intervention. A quantitative survey approach was employed in this study including 680 parents from 6 districts. The data was collected in two rounds following the pre- and post- intervention approach. The first round of data was collected at the beginning of the project and the second round was collected at its end. The paired sample t-test showed significant difference between pre- and postintervention responses of parents about improved relationships between the school and the parents (p < 0.000), increased cocurricular activities in the school (p < 0.000), fulfillment of students’ educational curriculum requirements (p < 0.000), the provision of equal attention to both boys and girls (p < 0.002), the obligation of the parents to ensure the physical and moral development of their children (p < 0.000), the provision of a safe, healthy, and educational environment at home by the parents (p < 0.000), and the development and maintenance of positivity expressed by parents for the success of their children (p < 0.000). Hence, the study found that a planned intervention has the potential to positively change the perceptions, perspectives, and valuation of children’s academic development.
