Authors: Thalib Mohamad Anwar , Suhega Hilwa Faradhilla , Huruji Sindriyanti
Published: August 2023

Abstract: This study aims to photograph mosque cost accounting based on local wisdom values in Gorontalo. This research topic is important to do because it is an effort to preserve local cultural values from cost accounting practices. This study uses an Islamic paradigm with an Islamic ethnomethodological approach. There are five data analysis stages: charity, knowledge, faith, revelation information, and good deeds. The results showed that the salaries of the worshiper prayer, preacher, caller prayer, and cleaners were taken from the mosque's charity box. The cost of constructing the mosque was obtained from donations from the community, both in the form of building materials and money. In contrast, the cost of providing equipment was taken from the personal funds of the mosque management. The practice of cost accounting is conditional on the value of gratitude (sukuru) and sincerity (ihilasi), which manifest faith in the Creator. In the culture of the people of Gorontalo, these values are often instilled by parents through lumadu "diila o'onto, bo wolu-woluwo" which means invisible but there. This phrase teaches that in life, do not just chase what is visible but also look for something that is not visible but exists.Keywords; cost, mosque, Islamic ethnomethodology, Gorontalo Abstrak. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memotret akuntansi biaya masjid berbasis nilai-nilai kearifan lokal di Gorontalo. Topik penelitian ini penting untuk dilakukan karena sebagai upaya untuk melestarikan nilai-nilai budaya lokal dari praktik akuntansi biaya. Penelitian ini menggunakan paradigma Islam dengan pendekatan etnometodologi Islam. Terdapat lima tahapan analisis data yaitu amal, ilmu, iman, informasi wahyu, dan ihsan. Hasil penelitian. Biaya gaji imam, khotib, adzan, dan petugas kebersihan diambil dari kotak amal masjid. Biaya pembangunan masjid diperoleh dari sumbangan masyarakat baik dalam bentuk bahan bangunan maupun uang, sementara itu biaya penyediaan peralatan diambil dari dana pribadi pengurus masjid. Praktik akuntansi biaya tersebut syarat dengan nilai syukur (sukuru) dan ikhlas (ihilasi) yang merupakan wujud dari iman kepada Sang Pencipta. Dalam kebudayaan masyarakat Gorontalo nilai-nilai tersebut sering ditanamkan oleh para orang tua melalui lumadu “diila o’onto, bo wolu-woluwo” artinya tidak kelihatan tetapi ada. Makna ungkapan ini adalah mengajarkan bahwa dalam kehidupan, jangan hanya mengejar yang kelihatan, tetapi juga mencari sesuatu yang tidak kelihatan tetapi sebenarnya ada. Kata kunci; biaya, masjid, etnometodologi Islam, Gorontalo

Published: August 2023

Islam dan Barat sama-sama menempatkan ilmu sebagai sesuatu yang amat penting. Dalam islam terdapat banyak sekali ayat al-Qur’an dan hadits nabi yang berbicara tentang pentingnya ilmu. Begitu pula dalam peradaban barat yang tidak dapat terlepas dari pengembangan ilmu pengetahuan. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian library research atau kepustakaan. Data diambil dari berbagai referensi literatur. Yang kemudian hasil data tersebut diolah dan dianalisis secara kritis dan mendalam. Adapun hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa dalam memandang hakikat ilmu islam dan barat memiliki pandangan yang berbeda. Islam memiliki pandangan bahwa ilmu adalah milik Allah Swt. dan bersumber Allah Swt. Sekuat apapun manusia berusaha untuk menggapai ilmu, jika tanpa adanya kuasa dari Allah Swt. Maka manusia tidak akan mampu untuk menggapainya. Sedangkan barat memandang bahwa ilmu itu bersumber dari akal dan panca indra manusia, selagi manusia mau berusaha menggunakan akal dan panca indranya maka mereka akan mendapatkan ilmu

Published: August 2023

Globalisasi tidak selalu berdampak buruk bagi perkembangan pendidikan Islam. Di satu sisi, ia dapat menghadirkan dampak positif yang disebut dengan peluang. Di sisi lain, ia juga dapat mendatangkan kelemahan yang dapat disebut sebagai tantangan. Para pakar pendidikan Islam harus mampu memperkirakan beragam bentuk peluang dan tantangan yang ada akibat gempuran globalisasi yang tak dapat terhindarkan. Hal ini penting dilakukan untuk menyusun strategi khusus agar pendidikan Islam tetap dapat menjalankan visi misinya dalam membentuk insan kāmil yang ber-akhlāqul karīmah dan bahagia di dunia dan akhirat. Oleh karena itu, pendidikan Islam diharapkan dapat bersinergi dengan berbagai aspek modernitas agar tidak tergerus oleh zaman karena tidak dapat dipungkiri bahwa peserta didik pun mulai terjamah oleh segala bentuk modernitas dalam bidang fun, fashion, dan food. Pendidikan Islam harus mampu mengambil peran dalam mengendalikan modernitas agar tidak mengesampingkan nilai-nilai agama dan mampu menghadirkan kontribusi dalam pengembangan ilmu pengetahuan dan teknologi sebagai bagian dari kemajuan era globalisasi.

Authors: Werdiningsih Wilis , Rochmah Elfi Yuliani
Published: August 2023

Early Childhood Education (PAUD) is an important stage for a child's growth. The selection of educational institutions with certain learning models, it is important for parents to consider before making a choice in one school. There are various kinds of PAUD learning models. Among these learning models are the classical model, the cooperative learning model, the center and circle time-based learning model (beyond centers and circle time/BCCT) and the area learning model (interest). Among these models, the center-based learning model and circle time are learning models that are still rarely applied in PAUD. This study aims to analyze the center-based learning model and circle time in terms of preparation and implementation. The approach used in this study is a qualitative approach. Data were obtained through interview, observation and various literature related to PAUD learning models. The results show that the center-based learning model and circle time is a learning model with four steps, namely the environmental footing, the footing before playing, the footing during playing and the footing after playing in the learning activities. The application of this learning model requires teachers to carry out preparatory activities every day. It is hoped that the aspects of children's development can improve through various series of activities in the central class which are followed by children alternately every day.

Since the 19th century, interactions between humans have begun to be carried out in new ways that are not bound by distance, which causes no barriers between various parts of the world. All phenomena that occur can be seen clearly in a relatively short time. Various cultures and traditions began to mingle and lose their identity. One of the things that has become a hot topic of discussion from the western world in recent months is childfree, namely the decision of a married couple not to have children with several factors being the reason. In the Western world, childfree is not a complicated thing to be debated. However, what about the Eastern world, especially Indonesia with the thick rules of each religion. Moreover, Islam adheres to the holy book al-Qur'an, in which it is narrated that Prophet Ibrahim a.s. and the Prophet Zakaria a.s pleaded with God to be given offspring from the pious group, as stated in the QS. As-Saffat verse 100 and QS. Maryam verses 4 to 5. From an Islamic perspective, children are something that is highly coveted and fought for in marriage. A child seems to be a glory for his parents, not only in this world but also into the hereafter. Hasan as-Sayyid Hamid Khitob in his book Maqas{i>d an-Nika>h{ wa Atharuha> explains that among the main purposes of marriage are expecting children, multiplying the descendants of the people of the Prophet Muhammad SAW., guarding the genitals, and maintaining lineage. But what if it is related to the childfree phenomenon which is starting to be followed by many people in Indonesia who are even Muslim, where they actually do not want to bring children into their marriage.

Study of the Universe populated by Clusters of Galaxies with halo using Newtonian Gravity modified by Tohline.
Authors: Plastino Angelo , Rocca Mario
Published: August 2023

We consider a model for galaxies with halo advanced by Tohline. With it we discuss galaxy clusters within the strictures of Gibbs' ensembles in statistical mechanics. We consider (1) the case in which the Universe is finite and also (2) the one for which is infinite. In case (1) we find that the system is self-gravitating, while in (2) it is not. We have found that in both cases the distribution function is the same and it is uniform. Since the integrals that define the partition function diverge in both cases, we have appealed to overcome this problem to the generalization of the dimensional regularization of Bollini and Giambiagi and also to the regularization of integrals proposed by Guelfand.
Deep Learning based Spectrum Utilization in Cognitive Radio Networks using ASAR Algorithm
Authors: M Suresh Chinnathampy , Kumaran Senthil , Roobert Andrew , Marzla Ancy , EL Dhivya Priya
Published: August 2023

In cognitive radio networks (CRN), primary users (PU) are the licensed users and secondary users (SU) are the unlicensed users. PUs can use the spectrum in the primary network (PN) which is licensed, but the SU can only use the spectrum that is not used by the PU. Also, the SU should not affect the transmission of PU. Thus, the spectrum allocation for SU is a major problem in CRN. Therefore, in this paper, cooperative spectrum sensing (CSS) is considered with adaptive search and rescue (ASAR) optimization and auto-encoder deep learning. For the effective sharing of spectrum, a novel classification method based on deep learning is proposed. Here, for the detection of PU, multiple SUs are considered. The implementation tool used for the proposed method is NS2. Assessment metrics are performed based on delay, throughput, network lifetime, etc. Also, the balance between the transmitted power and interference is maintained to achieve high throughput.

Light-field-driven non-Ohmic current and Keldysh crossover in a Weyl semimetal
Authors: Ikeda Ryohei , Watanabe Hiroshi , Moon heon , Jung Myung-Hwa , Takasan Kazuaki , Kimura Shin-ichi
Published: August 2023

In recent years, coherent electrons driven by light fields have attracted significant interest in exploring novel material phases and functionalities1–4. However, observing coherent light-field-driven electron dynamics5,6 in solids is challenging because the electrons are scattered within several ten femtoseconds in ordinary materials, and the coherence between light and electrons is disturbed. However, when we use Weyl semimetals7–11, the electron scattering becomes relatively long (several hundred femtoseconds - several picoseconds), owing to the suppression of the back-scattering process12. This study presents the light-field-driven dynamics by the THz pulse (~1 ps) to Weyl semimetal Co3Sn2S213–20, where the intense THz pulse of a monocycle electric field nonlinearly generates direct current (DC) via coherent acceleration without scattering5,6 and non-adiabatic excitation1,5,21,22 (Landau–Zener Transition). In other words, the non-Ohmic current appears in the Weyl semimetal with a combination of the long relaxation time and an intense THz pulse. This nonlinear DC generation also demonstrates a Keldysh crossover23 from a photon picture to a light-field picture by increasing the electric field strength.
AI-driven Optimization and Forecasting for E-commerce Logistics and Low Carbon emission for Green Economy
Authors: Wang Chenwei
Published: August 2023

These days, the logistics industry has experienced remarkable growth as global economic integration and cross-border e-commerce trade accelerate. However, this growth has brought about significant ecological and environmental challenges. This study analyzes the connection between China's cross-border e-commerce logistics market and the low-carbon economic system. The objective is to reduce carbon emissions in the logistics industry, minimize regional pollutant emissions, and bridge the carbon emission gap across different regions. The research employs Genetic Algorithm optimization to strike a trade-off between cross-border trade and carbon emissions. Eviews 6.0 software is used to analyze the relationship between the cross-border e-commerce logistics industry and the rate of low-carbon economic growth, represented by the carbon emission intensity index. Different trade volume combinations for each region in China are explored and evaluated based on their corresponding carbon emissions. The goal is to minimize carbon emissions while maintaining the same trade level. Additionally, an AI-based predictive model, combining the Genetic Algorithm and Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) forecasting, is employed to validate the optimization results. The Genetic Algorithm provides optimal points for low carbon emissions, and the ARIMA forecast predicts the optimal solution for the following year. The findings indicate that the optimized solution significantly reduces carbon emissions compared to the original values.
Enhancing Copyright Protection of Online Literature using Intelligent Decision Support Systems and Blockchain Technology
Authors: Wei Na
Published: August 2023

Copyright protection is one of the most important aspects of every organization. The traditional copyright protection mechanisms are posed to several challenges, including permitting data loss and simple access, which leads to security issues. On the other hand, blockchain technology has increased IoT security and changed many areas, including copyright protection, by increasing the income of copyright holders. Keeping the important and significant role of blockchain technology in different fields of life in consideration, this paper tries to integrate this secure technology with decision support systems (DSS) and presents a blockchain-based intelligent decision support system (IDSS) system to secure online literary copyright. This study initially discusses the significance of IDSS in the copyright protection of online literature by providing a full definition of blockchain technology, including its types, properties, and algorithms. After that, we discuss the integration of IDSS with blockchain technology to protect online literary copyright. The proposed system facilitates professional copyright validation, infringement monitoring, unbiased digital information, and efficiency in legal review. Finally, we developed a blockchain-based literary protection platform model based on the proposed system to protect online literature copyright. The experimental results illustrate that the proposed method reduces the loss and increases accuracy. The experimental results reveal that mobile terminal loss decreased by 11.3% between 2018 and 2020, while PC terminal online literary piracy decreased by 1.7%.
EGFR-mediated crosstalk between vascular endothelial cells and hepatocytes promotes Piezo1-dependent liver regeneration
Authors: Liu Juan , Hu Yuelei , Du Guifang , Li Chao , Wang Rui , Wang Yunfang , Dong Jiahong
Published: August 2023

Hepatocyte proliferation is essential for recovering liver function after injury. In liver surgery, the mechanical stimulation induced by hemodynamic changes triggers vascular endothelial cells (VECs) to secrete large amounts of cytokines that enhance liver cell proliferation and play a pivotal role in liver regeneration. Piezo1, a critical mechanosensory ion channel, can detect and convert mechanical forces into chemical signals, importing external stimuli into cells and triggering downstream biological effects. However, the precise role of Piezo1 in VECs, especially in terms of mediating liver regeneration, remains unclear. Here, we report on a potential mechanism by which early changes in hepatic portal hemodynamics activate Piezo1 in VECs to promote hepatocyte proliferation during the process of liver regeneration induced by portal vein ligation (PVL) in rats. In this liver regeneration model, hepatocyte proliferation is mainly distributed in zone 1 and zone 2 of liver lobules at 24–48 h after surgery, while only a small number of Ki67-positive hepatocytes were observed in zone 3. Activation of Piezo1 promotes increased secretion of epiregulin (EREG) and amphiregulin (AREG) from VECs via the PKC/ERK1/2 axis, further activating epidermal growth factor receptors (EGFR) and ERK1/2 signals in hepatocytes and promoting proliferation. In addition, cytokines secreted by Piezo1-activated VECs can induce hepatocytes to undergo epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). In the liver lobules, the expression of EGFR in hepatocytes of zone 1 and 2 is significantly higher than that in zone 3. The EGFR inhibitor gefitinib inhibits liver regeneration by suppressing the proliferation of hepatocytes in zones 1 and 2. Thus, activation of Piezo1 in VECs promotes hepatocyte proliferation, suggesting mechanical stimulation regulates hepatocyte proliferation in zones 1 and 2 during PVL-induced liver regeneration. These data provide a theoretical basis for the regulation of liver regeneration through chemical signals mediated by mechanical stimulation.
Percentage change in hemoglobin is closely linked to the one-year mortality rate in elderly patients who have suffered hip fractures
Authors: Zhou Ling , Huang Chao , Zhu Xianjie , Ma Zhenhua
Published: August 2023

Purpose The objective of this study was to examine the relationship between the percentage change in hemoglobin (ΔHb) and 1-year mortality among patients who underwent hip fracture surgery. Percentage ΔHb was defined as: ([preoperative Hb - nadir Hb]/preoperative Hb) × 100.
Methods A total of 636 patients with hip (including femoral neck and intertrochanteric femur) fractures who were hospitalised at an orthopaedic centre in China from January 2016 to December 2020 were reviewed as study subjects. General data were collected from patients, who underwent internal fixation or artificial femoral head replacement, and patients were followed up in outpatient clinics and by telephone for 1 year after surgery. The clinical value of predicting patient death was analysed using subject work characteristics (ROC) curve analysis, and multifactorial cox regression analysis was used to explore the influencing factors of death in elderly hip fracture patients at 1 year postoperatively.
Results Over the course of the year following surgery, 108 patients (17.0%) passed away. The study found that a ΔHb value of 28.1% was the optimal cutoff for predicting mortality, with a sensitivity of 67.6% and specificity of 74.1%. Patients who had higher ΔHb levels had a significantly higher mortality rate (34.8% vs. 8.2%, p 0.001), and after adjusting for other factors, high ΔHb remained an independent predictor for one-year all-cause mortality (HR 4.12, 95% CI 2.66–6.39, p 0.001). Other independent risk factors for survival included advanced age, Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) >2, Blood transfusion, low albumin level, and longer length of stay. Additionally, the findings from subgroup analysis were generally in agreement with the main results across most stratified groups.
Conclusions The percentage change in hemoglobin levels was found to be independently linked to the risk of mortality within one year. These outcomes indicate that utilizing percentage ΔHb as a metric could aid in identifying patients who are at a heightened risk for 1-year mortality.

Authors: Båge Karin , Kågesten Anna , Fagbemi Mariam , Utman Olalekan , Arunda Malachi Ochieng , Puranen Britt-Inger , Ekström Anna Mia , Litorp Helena
Published: August 2023

Background
We investigated the association between reproductive agency and subjective well-being among respondents of reproductive age in four African countries.
Methods
We used nationally representative data from the World Values Survey (WVS) conducted in Ethiopia, Kenya, Nigeria, and Zimbabwe between 2017–2021 (N = 4,948). Subjective well-being was measured using four items on perceived: i) life satisfaction (range 1–10), overall life agency (range 1–10), health status (range 1–5), and happiness (range 1–4). Reproductive agency was measured by asking respondents to rank their freedom of choice and control over whether, when, and how many children to have (range 1–10). Pearson’s chi-squared test, bivariate, and multivariable logistic regression were used to compare subjective well-being between respondents of high vs low reproductive agency using the median as cutoff, stratified by country and sex, calculating adjusted odds ratios (aOR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI).
Results
The analytical sample included 4,302 respondents. Half (55%) rated their reproductive agency as high (median 8; IQR = 5). Two-thirds (66%) rated their life satisfaction as high (median 5; IQR = 4), and half (51%) their overall life agency as high (8; IQR = 5). Most (75%) reported themselves as healthy (median 4; IQR = 2) and happy (median 3; IQR = 1). In adjusted analyses, high reproductive agency was associated with higher life satisfaction (aOR 1.28, 95% CI 1.11–1.46) and overall life agency (aOR 3.65 95% CI 3.20–4.17). When stratifying by sex and country, associations remained for respondents in Nigeria and Zimbabwe and women.
Conclusions
As fertility is increasingly politicized, we contribute with person-centered and human rights-based indicators that are necessary to inform rights-based policies.

To characterize and compare macular vessel density in central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) eyes with retinal arterial cannulation and CRAO eyes with standard treatment. This study was Cross-sectional, observational study. Twenty-two eyes with nonarteric CRAO which underwent retinal arterial cannulation and 19 eyes with nonarteric CRAO with standard treatment were included. Optical coherent tomography angiography (OCTA)-based macular vessel density and visual acuity were examined. The dynamic ranged-based normalized rates of vessel density was compared within each group at the first visit to the clinic and 7 days after the onset. Macular vessel density in cannulation group was significantly better at 7 days after the onset than that at the first visit (3.73 ± 3.02 mm-1vs. 7.89 ± 1.02 mm-1, P = .0001), while there wasn’t significant improvement of macular vessel density in standard treatment group at 7 days after the onset (2.13 ± 1.62 mm-1 vs. 2.89 ± 0.22 mm-1, P = .067). At one month after the onset, mean LogMAR visual acuity in CRAO eyes with cannulation significantly improved compared with that at the first visit after the onset (1.678 vs. 0.979, P = .00012). Macular vessel density loss in CRAO eyes was improved by retinal arterial cannulation. Early intervention of retinal arterial cannulation is useful for minimizing visual impairment in CRAO eyes.
Nitrogen-doped Titanium Dioxide as a novel eco-friendly Hole Transport Layer in Lead-Free CsSnI3 based Perovskite Solar Cells

Published: August 2023

Despite recent abrupt rise in the efficiency of perovskite solar cells (PSCs), the contact layers maybe limit the efficiency of PSCs. The hole transporting layer (HTL) is an essential layer for reducing the recombination and loosing charges in fabricated devices by avoiding direct contact of gold to perovskite absorber layer in an efficient PSC device. The pristine spiro-OMeTAD, as most widely used HTL, still suffers from poor electrical conductivity, low hole mobility, and low oxidation rate. In this research, the nitrogen doped TiO2 (N-TiO2) proposed as a low-cost, efficient, safe replacement for spiro-OMeTAD HTL in PSCs. The variation in the device design key parameters such as the thickness and bulk defect density of perovskite layer, simultaneous modifications of defect density and defect energy level, and acceptor doping concentration in absorber layer are examined with their impact on the photovoltaic characteristic parameters. The effect of an increase in operating temperature from 280 K to 460 K on the performance of CsSnI3-based perovskite devices is also investigated. The standard simulated lead-free CsSnI3–based PSCs with spiro-OMeTAD HTL by SCAPS-1D software revealed the highest power conservation efficiency (PCE) of 23.63%. The CsSnI3-based solar cell with N-TiO2 as HTL showed FF (79.65%), VOC (0.98 V), Jsc (34.69 mA/cm2), and efficiency (27.03%) higher than the standard device with conventional spiro-OMeTAD HTL. The outcomes of N-TiO2 presence as an HTL signify a critical avenue for the possibility of fabricating high PCE CsSnI3-based perovskite devices made of stable, low-cost, efficient, safe, and eco-friendly materials.

Published: August 2023

Accurate tree detection is of growing importance in applications such as urban planning, forest inventory, and environmental monitoring. In this article, we present an approach to creating tree maps by annotating them in 3D point clouds. Point cloud representations allow the precise identification of tree positions, particularly stem locations, and their heights. Our method leverages human computational power through paid crowdsourcing, employing a web tool designed to enable even non-experts to effectively tackle the task. The primary focus of this paper is to discuss the web tool's development and strategies to ensure high-quality tree annotations despite encountering noise in the crowdsourced data. Following our methodology, we achieve quality measures surpassing 90% for various challenging test sets of diverse complexities. We emphasize that our tree map creation process, including initial point cloud collection, can be completed within 1-2 days.
Russia Ukraine Propaganda on Social Media: A Bibliometric Analysis
Authors: Hasan Mahedi
Published: August 2023

This study presents a systematic review of the scholarly literature on Russia-Ukraine propaganda on social media over the last ten years. This study performs a bibliometric analysis of articles published in the last ten years (2012–2022) and acquired from the Scopus database, followed by a brief content analysis of top articles from leading sources. Furthermore, the study aims to find gaps in the literature and identify the research area that could be developed in this context. The VOSviewer application was used for data mining and data visualization from Microsoft Excel. Some interesting facts were found in the bibliometric analysis regarding research and other perspectives. Although the study was related to the propaganda of Russia and Ukraine, the USA is identified as the most attentive country in terms of research and publication on the topic. On the other hand, Russia published many articles regarding its own propaganda on social media.

Background
Glyphosate-based herbicides (GBHs) are used extensively around the world and have become the leading agrochemicals. However, study about the association between glyphosate exposure and diabetes is scarce. This study used four years of NHANES data (2013–2016) to further investigate the association.
Methods
A total of 2,806 participants were enrolled in this cross-sectional study. The baseline information and urine glyphosate levels in diabetic and non-diabetic groups were compared. We also divided urine glyphosate levels into tertiles. Three models were developed using weighted logistic regression. Further subgroup analyses based on categorical variables were also conducted.
Results
Urine glyphosate levels were 0.35ng/ml in people with diabetes and 0.44ng/ml in participants without diabetes (P < 0.05). Regardless of adjustment, the highest glyphosate level in the tertile3 group was significantly linked with an elevated risk of diabetes (OR 1.595, 95% CI 1.016–2.504, P = 0.043) compared to the tertile1 group. Subgroup analyses suggested that the associations were constant in participants who were male, older age (60–100), had a college degree, income ratio = 5, BMI > 30, and smoking.
Conclusions
This study provides new evidence that glyphosate exposure was associated with a higher risk of diabetes in the American general adult population.
Subsidies, Speed and Switching? Impacts of an Internet Subsidy in Colombia
Authors: Hidalgo Julian , Sovinsky Michelle
Published: August 2023

Inequality in access to health, education, and employment opportunities is exacerbated in developing nations due to the uneven distribution of access to high-speed internet connections. In Colombia, the government enacted a policy (in 2012) to subsidize internet fees for low-income households to bridge the digital divide. The reductions were not granted to all plans and thus created incentives for consumers to switch between plans. We estimate a structural model of demand for internet connection plans, which we use to quantify the importance of switching behavior. We estimate the model using data on plans offered by all internet service providers to households in all socioeconomic (SES) groups across Colombia. Our results indicate that the subsidy caused a non-negligible fraction of low-SES households to switch internet plans - the majority of which switched to plans with lower speeds not higher speeds. Furthermore, the more wealthy households (of the lower SES groups) were twice as likely to switch plans than those in the lowest SES group. Our findings suggest that the impact, not only on internet adoption, but also on switching behavior should be taken into account when formulating subsidies designed to bridge the digital divide.

Background: Community health workers (CHWs) are at the forefront of promoting health in their communities and are involved in the control of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) including cardiovascular disease(CVD). Their specialist knowledge is likely to enhance their involvement in the prevention and control of NCDs in the community, particularly through education and mobilisation. Public health interventions, such as screening and referring of patients to health care facilities, aim to enhance the quality of outcomes. The purpose of the study was to investigate the perceived enablers and barriers to the implementation of behavioural interventions to address CVD by CHWs and outreach team leaders (OTLs) at primary healthcare facilities, in the Limpopo province of South Africa.
Method: Open-ended interviews were conducted among 59 CHWs and 11 OTLs, aged from 25 to 59 years. Their experiences of CVD intervention were conveniently sampled in their respective healthcare facilities. Coding and analysis were conducted using the thematic analysis method with the assistance of ATLAS.ti qualitative software.
Results: Various enablers and barriers to the implementation of CVD behavioural intervention were identified including:
How well the intervention program SPICES (Scaling of Packages Interventions for Cardiovascular diseases in selected sites in Europe and Sub-Saharan Africa) fit into existing CVDs processes and practices, Integration & interaction of SPICES research Interventions to current CVDs would be an easier process, SPICES Intervention program perfectly align with organizational goals and enhancing the implementation .Intervention program and Procurement of addition health screening equipment’s. Supportive equipment’s for writing and recording screening results
Conclusion: This study has identified perceived enablers and barriers that may be incorporated and overcome to improve implementation of CVD behavioural intervention in semi-urban and rural settings in South Africa. The enablers should be encouraged and barriers be overcomed to improve CVD quality care .
