Mental ill-health among welfare claimants in the UK: The extent, nature, and impact on claimant experiences
Authors: Geiger Ben Baumberg , Scullion Lisa , Edmiston Daniel , de Vries Robert , Summers K , Ingold Jo , Young David
Published: December 2024

Purpose: It is not possible to understand working-age welfare without considering mental health – yet we have surprisingly little detailed quantitative information exploring this. We aim to quantify mental ill-health among British claimants, the extent of conditionality/sanctions, and perceptions of unreasonable conditionality. Methods: A purpose-collected survey of working-age claimants in May/June 2022 (3,801) using YouGov’s online panel, accompanied by general public comparator surveys. Mental ill-health was captured using a mixture of clinically-validated screening tools (GAD-7, PHQ-9) and self-reports (of conditions, disability, work limitations).Results: Levels of mental ill-health are extremely high among claimants. 72.6% [70.7-74.4%] say they are currently affected by a mental health condition, 61.2% [59.2-63.2%] show moderate/severe depression or anxiety using clinically-validated screening tools – both around twice the level of the general public. We then focus on the 49.5% [47.5-51.5%]) of claimants who reported life-limiting mental ill-health (‘mental health disability’). Some such claimants are subject to conditionality/sanctions, but this is noticeably lower than among other claimants (e.g. after adjustment, they are -10.5% [-14.9 to -6.2%] less likely to be subject to intensive conditionality). Of those claimants who were subject to conditionality, most felt conditionality harmed their mental health (59.0% [48.-69.9%]). Substantial minorities also felt that their Work Coach did not act on disclosed barriers (24.3% [17.1-31.5%]), and that conditionality was unreasonable (23.1% [16.1-30.1%]). Conclusion: Today, most benefit claimants with mental health disabilities in non-working households are not subject to conditionality. Nevertheless, there are several reasons to be concerned that UK work-related conditionality functions inadequately for claimants experiencing mental ill-health.

Published: December 2024

This study evaluates the variables influencing users' satisfaction with Indonesian Banking Chatbots after the COVID-19 outbreak. The study examined several factors, including system quality, information quality, service quality, perceived value, and situational factors. All of these were examined using purpos-ive sampling to obtain information from 161 respondents. According to the research criteria, participants had to be DKI Jakarta locals and have used Banking Chatbot services before. The sample size was calculated using the G*Power approach. The influence of each variable on customer satisfaction with Banking Chatbot services was examined, with an intention to use serving as an intervening variable. After gathering the data, the results were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM 4.0). The study's findings indicate that situational factors and perceived value elements indirectly but positively influence consumer satisfaction, while intention to use has a direct and positive influence. By focusing on these aspects and associated indications, Indonesia's banking management can utilize this model to improve customer satisfaction and intention in using Chatbot services.

Teachers can provide learning materials that are more suited to the interests, abilities and learning styles of each student so that it is hoped that students can develop their character. The existence of AI technology or artificial intelligence cannot replace educators in terms of character formation. Technology is only a tool, for this reason, the role of educators is to accompany students to form characters that have moral values ​​such as honesty, respect, responsibility, justice, cooperation, love of the country, ethics, and others.

Authors: Hanik Mucholifah Umi , Kadeni  , Setyawan Andi
Published: December 2024

This article examines the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) in information systems on labour and society. AI has revolutionised the way information systems work, opening up new opportunities while presenting significant challenges. In terms of benefits, AI increases efficiency and productivity, improves quality of life through more accurate medical diagnosis, and enhances customer service. In addition, AI helps optimise supply chains and enables more personalised education. However, the negative impacts include job losses, increased economic disparity, bias in algorithms, as well as privacy concerns and dependence on technology. Nonetheless, AI remains a driver of change in information systems, which requires synergy between governments, companies and society. Investments in workforce training, the development of thoughtful regulations, and the application of ethics in the use of AI are important steps towards the sustainable use of AI that benefits the entire society. This article provides a perspective on the role of AI in the transformation of modern information systems and the importance of ethical considerations in its application.

Authors: Triyatno Wigit , Ifana Sari Yuli , Fauzia Putra Dwi
Published: December 2024

The aim of this research is to analyze the potential of Kedaton Temple as a social studies learning resource to increase students' understanding of historical heritage in Indonesia. Preliminary data collected shows that only a few students achieve adequate understanding in historical heritage material in Indonesia, while the rest show a low level of understanding. Preliminary observations show that students' lack of interest in social studies subjects is one of the main factors influencing low learning achievement. This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study method. The data analysis method used is an interactive model, which includes data reduction stages, data presentation, as well as drawing conclusions and verification. Data was collected through observation, interviews and documentation, then analyzed using triangulation techniques to ensure the validity of the results. Researchers applied source triangulation by comparing information from madrasa heads, social studies teachers, and Class VI students at MI Raudlatul Mutaallimin, in order to understand teachers' planning strategies for utilizing Kedaton Temple as a local learning resource. Social studies learning on Indonesian historical heritage material using a local history approach and the book "Candi Kedaton" has made a significant contribution to the learning experience of class VI students at MI Raudlatul Muta''allimin. Teachers succeeded in creating an interesting and meaningful learning atmosphere, enriching students' knowledge of local history, and increasing their interest, motivation and involvement. Constructivist and contextual approaches, together with the use of local historical sources, are effective in increasing students' learning interest and understanding. Teachers' perceptions and abilities are very important in utilizing Kedaton Temple as a learning resource. However, factors such as limited time allocation, costs, and temple conservation pose challenges in using it as a learning resource.

A Hegemonic Study on Youth Problems Appeared in Modern Sinhala Poetry (From The 1970s to Present)
Authors: Eranda K.
Published: December 2024

The purpose of this research is to study the nature of youth through the
concept of hegemony and investigate how it is portrayed in modern
Sinhala poetry. Poetry is one of highly sensitive art medium than other
literary media, hence, this study is mainly focused on qualitatively
analyzing “the youth” social, economic, and political context that
appeared in Sinhala poetry which was published from the 1970s to the
present with the hegemonic point of view. As the primary data, selected
printed Sinhala poems (from 1970-to present) were used while collected
data were analyzed qualitatively according to Hegemony concept. To
study the youth issues depicted in poetry, ‘Hegemony’ was used as the
theoretical framework that was introduced by Antonio Gramsci.
Hegemony is a concept developed by Marxism which can be explained as
“ruling by will”. Social, economic, and political factors have affected the
youth in an ideological way. The reason the poem portrays the effect of
this ideological state apparatus is as a release of emotional pressure or
unrest in the youth which depicts the feelings of the youth. In this study,
youth problems are identified through hegemony, repression and youth
unrest, cultural hegemony and education, counter-hegemony and
sexuality, popular culture and youth. This research reveals that youth
issues are more ideological than superficial. Thus, it can be concluded that
the influence of the ideological state apparatus has affected the youth of
Sri Lanka. The social, economic and political factors that influenced youth
are depicted in the poems had more emotional sense.
Gender Health Inequalities in South Asia: A Case for Higher Public Health Expenditure
Authors: Jain S.
Published: December 2024

Global Gender Gap rankings for the South Asian region have declined
between 2018-2023. Furthermore, ranking the four sub-indices in the
global gender gap index also shows a deteriorating trend. The lowest
gender gap is in the health and survival sub-index, and the highest gender
gaps are in economic participation and opportunities. Nevertheless, the
highest rank decline is for the sub-index health and survival. Life
expectancy and mortality rates are the two indicators included in this
subindex, and they have shown substantial improvement over time. On the
contrary, malnutrition and anaemia for women in South Asia have been
increasing. Despite the low per capita income levels, the out-of-pocket
health expenditures range between 50 to 70 per cent of the total health
expenditure in these countries. In this context, this paper investigates the
impact of public health expenditure on selected health outcomes for
women. The panel regression results show that between 1998-2022,
public health expenditure significantly reduced the mortality rates. The
reduction has been more in the case of male mortality, whereas the
impact of public health expenditure on women's malnutrition and
anaemia has been low and insignificant. Moreover, private health
expenditures have a larger significant impact on all health outcomes. The
paper concludes that more decentralised allocation for primary health
expenditures is required to improve women’s access to public health
provisions and, therefore, health outcomes.

Shared Micromobility Systems (SMS) are considered to be environmentally friendly and supportive of the implementation of sustainable urban mobility plans. There is still a lack of systemic solutions that would effectively change the structure of urban mobility towards one that is more conducive to improving air quality in cities, saving energy and, above all, benefiting the health of its inhabitants. The aim of the research is to determine the conditions of cooperation between the stakeholders of the SMS. It also takes into account the perceptions and attitudes of the inhabitants of large cities. The scientific activity included in-depth interviews (25 IDI interviews with experts - representatives of municipalities, NGOs, scientists and operators of shared micro-mobility) and preferences and attitudes towards shared micro-mobility among large cities residents (CAWI research).
Deposing Popes and Kings: the Praxis of Tyranny during the Great Western Schism (1378–1417)
Authors: Rollo-Koster Joëlle
Published: December 2024

This essay summarises the evolution of the concept of tyranny from classical antiquity through late medieval Europe, examining its application to both secular and ecclesiastical figures. Beginning with Aristotle’s characterisation of tyranny as unconstitutional rule, the essay explores how classical definitions influenced early Christian thought, particularly through the writings of Isidore of Seville. Isidore’s adaptation of tyranny to ecclesiastical contexts paved the way for later medieval thinkers like John of Salisbury and Bartolus de Sassoferato to articulate theories of illegitimate power in both secular and religious spheres. The essay then delves into the Great Western Schism (1378–1417), during which the papacy was divided between rival claimants, leading to accusations of tyranny against popes and secular rulers alike. Through detailed analysis of historical sources and contemporary accounts, the essay demonstrates how charges of tyranny were leveraged to justify the deposition or elimination of political and religious figures, including Pope Urban VI, King Richard II of England, King Wenceslaus of Germany, and Pope Benedict XIII. I conclude with the case of King Władysław II Jagiełło of Poland. Drawing parallels between these cases, the article highlights common themes found in accusations of tyranny, such as abuse of power, financial mismanagement, refusal of counsel, and religious dissent. By examining the rhetoric and political dynamics surrounding these events, the essay argues that the concept of tyranny served as a powerful tool for legitimising political action and shaping public discourse.
Stanislav of Znojmo Explains Wyclif’s First Principles
Authors: LAHEY STEPHEN
Published: December 2024

The reception of John Wyclif’s philosophical thought in late fourteenth-century Prague began as an embrace of his metaphysics and philosophy of language, known today as propositional realism. At the core of his philosophical approach is the identification of Truth and Being, which Wyclif describes in the first treatises of his Summa de ente. Stanislav of Znojmo was foremost among Wyclif’s expositors and he articulates this identification in the first several chapters of his treatise De vero et falso. This article describes this articulation and elements in which Stanislav departed from Wyclif.

Genetic analysis of Meloidogyne species in South Africa using the COI marker
Authors: GELDENHUYS GAVIN
Published: December 2024

New-generation molecular approaches and methods are currently being developed to accurately identify species and genetic diversity. Given the significant impact of Meloidogyne sp. on agriculture, understanding the genetic structure of its populations is essential. While DNA barcoding studies have been conducted in the family Heteroderidae, there has been a lack of research on haplotype diversity. Therefore, in 2024, a study was undertaken at the University of Limpopo to analyse haplotype diversity within the Meloidogyne genus based on the cytochrome c oxidase I (COI) region. In this study, a total of 73 sequences from South Africa were utilised (GenBank), representing four species (Meloidogyne sp., M. incognita, M. javanica, and M. enterolobii). The haplotype analysis revealed four haplotypes which displayed low nucleotide (π = 0.045) diversity. In contrast, haplotype diversity (Hd) was 0.49, and the number of segregating sites (S) was 23. The result showed that Meloidogyne sp had low variability in haplotype supported by the haplotype network. Tajima (D) and Fu's Fs were found to be positive (P less than 0.05), whereas the overall FST value was 0.99 (P less than 0.05). In conclusion, genetic analysis showed there was no high variation amongst papulation from South African populations.
Decision Support System For Training Provider Selection Using Profile Matching Method
Authors: Zaki Ahmad , Fauzana Rahmi
Published: December 2024

The process of selecting training providers at PCU (Pertamina Corporate University) is currently not very effective and efficient, still relying on conventional methods that take a long time to choose a training provider, requiring one month for each training session. Conventional document collection by applicants can lead to the loss of documents, and there is no method in the selection of training providers, resulting in frequent occurrences of sole providers and difficulties in choosing providers for specific training needs. The research has led to the development of a web-based system using the Profile Matching method. The Profile Matching method was chosen because it involves determining competency values (standard assessment criteria) required for specific types of training, serving as a reference to evaluate selected provider candidates. This method selects the best alternative from various options by comparing the individual competencies of providers with the desired training profile values, resulting in competency differences (Gains Across Product). The smaller the GAP, the higher the weight of the score generated. Providers with the highest score have the highest ranking and a greater chance of being selected as training instructors at PCU. Data collection techniques used include observation and interviews.
Hyperparameter Optimization of the Perceptron Algorithm for Determining the Feasibility of Research Proposals and Community Service

Published: December 2024

Higher education in Indonesia includes diploma, bachelor, master, specialist, and doctoral programmes organised by universities. The Institute for Research and Community Service (LPPM) is in charge of assessing lecturers' proposals. This research aims to optimise the Perceptron algorithm to assess proposal eligibility using Turnitin plagiarism scores and reviewer scores. The optimisation results show that Perceptron accuracy reaches 99.44% to 99.63% at various training data ratios. GridSearchCV achieved 100% accuracy, while RandomisedSearchCV recorded accuracy between 98.89% to 99.63%. GridSearchCV also had the lowest MSE , despite higher Loss values, indicating a sacrifice in generalisation ability. Perceptron Default and RandomisedSearchCV had higher MSE and Loss, but remained low. GridSearchCV's AUC reached 100%, while Perceptron Default and RandomisedSearchCV showed very high AUC, ranging from 99.25% to 99.98%. Overall, the Perceptron algorithm is effective in assessing proposal eligibility with high accuracy.
