Pengaruh Kualitas Layanan dan Fomo terhadap Minat Penggunaan Bank Digital di Indonesia dengan Kepercayaan sebagai Variabel Moderasi
Authors: Pandawa Rengga Yoga
Published: January 2025

This study aims to analyze the effect of service quality and Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) on public interest in using digital banks in Indonesia, with trust as a moderating variable. With the increasing digitalization in the banking sector, understanding the factors that drive public interest in digital banking has become crucial, particularly amid concerns over service security and reliability. This study employs a quantitative approach with a survey method involving 464 respondents, both users and non-users of digital banking services across Indonesia. Data analysis was conducted using the Partial Least Square - Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) method with the assistance of SmartPLS software version 4.1.0.2. Service quality was measured using indicators such as reliability, accessibility, responsiveness, and service personalization. Meanwhile, FOMO was measured through indicators such as the perception of missing out, social anxiety, drive to adopt new technology, and social media influence. The results show that service quality has no significant effect on digital banking interest. However, FOMO has a significant positive effect on public interest in using these services. Additionally, trust has a significant but negative moderating effect on the relationship between FOMO and usage interest. This means that as trust in digital banking increases, the influence of FOMO on interest tends to decrease. This suggests that users who already trust the security of digital banking make more rational decisions and are less influenced by trends or social pressure. On the other hand, trust does not moderate the relationship between service quality and digital banking interest.

El dengue se ha convertido en la principal causa de enfermedad viral transmitida por artrópodos en todo el mundo. En 2019, la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) declaró que el dengue era una de las diez principales amenazas para la salud mundial. La incidencia del dengue tuvo su cifra más alta registrada en 2023, afectando a más de 80 países con más de 6,5 millones de casos (1). En las Américas, a mediados de mayo de 2024 se notifcaron 8,1 millones de casos sospechosos de dengue, lo que representa un aumento de 3,3 veces respecto al año anterior. Perú fue uno de los seis países con mayor número de casos reportados en la región (2). Al igual que otros países con alta incidencia de dengue, el país ha estado enfrentando un aumento de nuevos casos de arbovirus con brotes estacionales que ocurren entre noviembre y mayo. Por tanto, controlar y prevenir los brotes de dengue son pasos esenciales para controlar la enfermedad. ¿Cómo podemos lograr esto? Tres objetivos clave: control de vectores, diagnóstico temprano y educación de la población.

Authors: Sánchez-Rivero Marcelino , Murillo-González Luis , Rodríguez-Rangel María Cristina
Published: January 2025

Nowadays, digital scenarios and global connectivity have changed the way we travel; visitors can comment and share their experiences from different sources of information, and this action can be of essential value in tourism research. Consequently, these factors can help design new marketing, management, or business strategies and make tourist destinations more competitive. Multiple techniques can process big data and machine learning analysis, such as natural language processing (NLP), which can support tourist resources in analyzing this information. This paper proposes an NLP technique to present an emotion detection analysis based on social web reviews about the main natural spaces in Extremadura, Spain. Sentiment and emotions scores have been computed based on the Plutchik model using a lexicon database to understand visitor experience. Empirical evidence suggests some recommendations regarding tourism management to improve the visitor experience and reduce negative sentiments and emotions.

The article discusses the features of the introduction of agile methodologies in the process of software development (hereinafter referred to as software) in the field of telecommunications services. The great need for IT products forces their manufacturers to look for new solutions and approaches that help reduce development time without negatively affecting the quality of the final product. Changing software development processes affects both its technical and business side, including management. Despite the existence of a large number of modern management methodologies, choosing the most appropriate one is a difficult process, as it requires careful setting of goals and search criteria. The success of both the implementing company and the customer company depends on how well the software development management model is selected. The purpose of the study is to unify agile methodology for managing software development in the field of telecommunications services. The objectives are to modernize the software development management system based on Kanban and the UML language and to work out the stages of implementing the methodology. The methodological basis of the research was based on such methods as analysis and systematization, which include systematic, complex and comparative approaches, as well as experiment. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the creation of a unified software development management model for the telecommunications sector. The article notes that the basis of the unified model is the stages of implementation of the Kanban methodology, through which the number of phases of the software development management process and, consequently, the time for project implementation was reduced. The authors emphasize that the developed unified model can be used not only in the management of software development in the field of telecommunications services, but also in any other software development project, regardless of the field of activity.

Published: January 2025

The emergence of microbial resistance in bacterial pathogens to common antimicrobial agents is a significant challenge in their use. The purpose of this research is to investigate the antibacterial properties of a nanocomposite consisting of calcium hydroxide and manganese oxide against the oral pathogen Enterococcus fecalis. To determine the antibacterial effect of nanocomposites on E. faecalis, a total of 9 experiments were designed using the Taguchi method. In the experimental investigations, three factors of calcium hydroxide, manganese oxide nanoparticles, and their stirring time were investigated. These agents had three different levels and finally led to the identification of the optimal ratio that showed the greatest antibacterial effect. The nanocomposites made using test conditions 6 (calcium hydroxide 150 mg/mL, manganese oxide 9 mg/mL, and stirring time 60 minutes) showed the greatest effect in growth inhibition (0.29 CFU/mL). The properties of the synthesized nanocomposite as well as its components were evaluated through material characterization techniques. The structural properties and chemical composition of this nanocomposite were found to be favorable based on its characteristics. As a result, the nanocomposite consisting of calcium hydroxide and manganese oxide has beneficial antibacterial properties that make it suitable for increasing performance in various dental fields.

Smashing the Subversive Unemployed: State Containment and Coercion of the National Unemployed Workers’ Movement, 1921–39
Authors: Espinosa Emanuel Bourges
Published: January 2025

Existing scholarship on the National Unemployed Workers’ Movement (NUWM) has not addressed the rationale of state action against unemployed dissent. This paper argues that the NUWM disrupted a tentative and fragile accord between the state, capital, and labour to institutionalize industrial conflict, necessary to secure governability and social order. The interwar British state used its intelligence and coercive apparatus, the law, and the police against the NUWM. The paper offers an analytical perspective which emphasizes the influence of the interwar economic constrictions on the capacity for state action and explains the need for its officials to reject expressions of industrial discontent and protect the notion of industrial peace as a

Detection of Enhanced Germanium in a New Cool Extreme Helium Star A980: Insights and Implications
Authors: Saini Ajay Kumar , Pandey Gajendra
Published: January 2025

A fine abundance analysis of a recently discovered hydrogen-deficient carbon (HdC) star, A980, is presented. Based on the observed high-resolution optical spectrum, we ascertain that A980 is a cool extreme helium (EHe) star and not an HdC star. Singly ionized germanium Ge ii lines are identified in A980’s optical spectrum. These are the first-ever detections of germanium lines in an EHe star's observed spectrum and provide the first measurements of germanium abundance in an EHe star. The overabundance of germanium in A980’s atmosphere provides us with evidence for the synthesis of germanium in EHe stars. Among the known cool EHe stars, A980 exhibits a maximum enhancement of the s-process elements based on a significant number of transitions. The measured elemental abundances reveal signs of H-burning, He-burning, and specifically the nucleosyntheses of the key elements Ge, Sr, Y, Zr, and Ba. The nucleosyntheses of these key elements are discussed in light of asymptotic giant branch evolution and the expectation from the accretion of an He white dwarf by a C–O white dwarf or by a neutron star.
The Coronal Power Spectrum from MHD Mode Conversion above Sunspots
Authors: Miriyala Hemanthi , Morton Richard J. , Khomenko Elena , Antolin Patrick , Botha Gert J.J.
Published: January 2025

Sunspots are intense regions of magnetic flux that are rooted deep below the photosphere. It is well established that sunspots host magnetohydrodynamic waves, with numerous observations showing a connection to the internal acoustic (or p-)modes of the Sun. The p-modes are fast waves below the equipartition layer and are thought to undergo a double mode conversion as they propagate upward into the atmosphere of sunspots, which can generate Alfvénic modes in the upper atmosphere. We employ 2.5D magnetohydrodynamic numerical simulations to investigate the adiabatic wave propagation and examine the resulting power spectra of coronal Alfvénic waves. A broadband wave source is used, which has a 1D power spectrum mimicking aspects of the observed p-mode power spectrum. We examine magnetoacoustic wave propagation and mode conversion from the photosphere to the corona. Frequency filtering of the upwardly propagating acoustic waves is a natural consequence of a gravitationally stratified atmosphere and plays a key role in shaping the power spectra of mode-converted waves. We demonstrate that the slow and fast magnetoacoustic waves and Alfvén waves above the equipartition layer have similarly shaped power spectra, which are modified versions of the driver spectrum. Notably, the results reveal that the coronal wave power spectra have a peak at a higher frequency than that of the underlying p-mode driver. This matches observations of coronal Alfvénic waves and further supports the role of the mode conversion process as a mechanism for Alfvénic wave generation in the Sun's atmosphere.
Global and Local Infall in the ASHES Sample (GLASHES). I. Pilot Study in G337.541

Published: January 2025

Recent high-angular-resolution observations indicate the need for core growth to form high-mass stars. To understand the gas dynamics at the core scale in the very early evolutionary stages before being severely affected by feedback, we have conducted Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) observations toward a 70 μm dark massive clump, G337.541-00.082 as part of the Global and Local infall in the ASHES sample (GLASHES) program. Using dense gas tracers such as N2H+ (J = 1–0) and HNC (J = 3–2), we find signs of infall from the position–velocity diagram and more directly from the blue asymmetry profile in addition to the clump-scale velocity gradient. We estimate infall velocities from intermediate and low-mass cores to be 0.28–1.45 km s−1, and infall rates to be on the order of 10−4–10−3
M
⊙ yr−1, both are higher than those measured in low-mass star-forming regions by more than a factor of 5 and an order of magnitude, respectively. We find a strong correlation between the infall velocity with the nonthermal velocity dispersion, suggesting that infall may contribute significantly to the observed line width. Consistent with clump-fed scenarios, we show that the mass infall rate is larger for larger core masses and shorter distances to the clump center. Such high infall rates in cores embedded in IRDCs can be considered as strong signs of core growth, allowing high-mass star formation from intermediate-mass cores that would not initially form high-mass stars at their current mass.
A Possible Formation Scenario of the Gaia ID 3425577610762832384: Inner Binary Merger inside a Triple Common Envelope
Authors: Li Zhuowen , Lu Xizhen , Lü Guoliang , Zhu Chunhua , Liu Helei , Yu Jinlong
Published: January 2025

Recently, an identified noninteracting black hole (BH) binary, Gaia ID 3425577610762832384 (hereafter G3425), contains a BH (∼3.6 M
⊙) falling within the mass gap and has a nearly circular orbit, challenging the classical binary evolution and supernova theory. Here, we propose that G3425 originates from a triple through a triple common envelope (TCE) evolution. The G3425 progenitor originally may consist of three stars with masses of 1.49, 1.05, and 21.81 M
⊙ and inner and outer orbital periods of 4.22 and 1961.78 days, respectively. As evolution proceeds, the tertiary fills its Roche lobe, leading to a TCE. We find that the orbital energy generated by the inspiral of the inner binary serves as additional energy imparted for ejecting the common envelope (CE), accounting for ∼97% of the binding energy in our calculations. This means that the outer orbit needs to expend only a small amount of the orbital energy to successfully eject the CE. The outcome of the TCE is a binary consisting of a 2.54 M
⊙ merger produced by the inner binary merger and a 7.67 M
⊙ helium star whose CE successfully ejected, with an orbital period of 547.53 days. The resulting post-TCE binary (PTB) has an orbital period that is 1–2 orders of magnitude greater than the orbital period of a successfully ejected classical binary CE. In subsequent simulations, we find that the successfully ejected helium star has a 44.2% probability of forming a BH. In the case of a noncomplete fallback forming a BH, with an ejected mass of 2.6 M
⊙ and a relatively low natal kick (

The Formation of a Multifilament System Driven by Photospheric Converging Motions in a Bipolar Sunspot
Authors: Li Haitang , Guo Jinhan , Cheng Xin , Zhou Chang , Yan Xiaoli , Chen Jun , Guo Yang , Oloketuyi Jacob , Ding Mingde , Liu Yu
Published: January 2025

Solar filaments are believed to be a clump of cold plasma accumulated in the magnetic dips. However, the magnetic configuration of filaments and the key factors for their formation remains elusive. In this Letter, we present a detailed study of the formation and eruption of a multifilament system with observations and simulations. Before the filament appeared visible, the chromospheric fibrils gradually gathered together, evolving from a diffuse distribution into threadlike structures that were nearly parallel to the polarity inversion lines. On 2022 March 20, an arch filament first appeared showing high dynamics, and subsequently two reserved S-shaped filaments were visibly observed. These two filament segments further reconnected, forming a long coherent filament and resulting in a double-decker configuration. In addition, continuous converging motion and magnetic flux cancellation were found in the photosphere during the evolution. Simultaneously, more bald patch structures appeared at the polarities' collision position. Through a data-driven numerical simulation, we further reconstructed the coronal magnetic field, which is composed of two twisted magnetic flux ropes (MFRs) with their bottom touching the photosphere, along with a group of sheared arcades forming an X-shaped configuration. These findings suggest that the magnetic configuration of the filament is in a highly dynamic state, evolving from a hybrid to a coherent MFR. Moreover, we propose that the formation and eruption of the multifilament system are closely related to magnetic reconnection taking place on the photosphere and in the lower corona, respectively, both mainly driven by the photospheric converging motion.
The Interplay of Surface Composition, Mineralogy, and Physical Conditions That Affect the Surface Release Processes and Particle Environment of Mercury
Authors: Wurz Peter , Jäggi Noah , Galli André , Vorburger Audrey , Domingue Deborah , Szabo Paul S. , Benkhoff Johannes , Barraud Océane , Savin Daniel Wolf
Published: January 2025

Mercury has a very tenuous atmosphere starting at the surface, which is referred to as a surface-bound exosphere, where there are no collisions between exospheric particles. Having a surface-bound exosphere means that the particles in the exosphere have their origin on Mercury’s surface; thus, the composition of the exosphere is connected to the composition of the surface. In situ composition measurements of the exosphere can contribute to the study of the composition of the surface, together with a range of remote sensing techniques (ultraviolet, visible, infrared, X-ray, gamma-ray, and neutron spectroscopy). The external drivers for the particle release from the surface are solar photons, solar wind plasma, and micrometeoroid impacts. These drivers also cause space weathering of the surface, resulting in significant physical and chemical alterations in the regolith, ranging from the very surface to depths up to one meter. Modifications of the surface by space weathering must be considered when interpreting the composition measurements of the exosphere as well as the composition measurements of the surface by the established remote sensing techniques, because their information comes from the space-weathered volume of the surface. Therefore, the particle populations in the exosphere, space weathering, and the composition of the surface are intimately connected and must be studied together. In the following, we will review the connections between the surface and the exosphere of Mercury.

Published: January 2025

Background

Mobile microlearning (MML) provides concise and engaging educational activities that correspond with various learning preferences and styles. Microlearning is defined as bite-sized instruction, with modules ranging from approximately 90 seconds to 5 minutes. To consider MML as a form of continuing professional development it is essential first to identify the learning preferences of a new generation of nurses entering the professional field of health care.

Method

This scoping review addresses generational learning preferences using current technological approaches to identify nurses' interest in using MML as a form of continuing professional development.

Results

A total of 34 articles were identified for this scoping review.

Conclusion

Little information was available on microlearning and nursing addressing both formal education and continuing professional development. Among the studies evaluated on MML for this project, a thread of discrepancy included (a) inconsistent definitions of time limitations, (b) the significance of MML for continuing professional development, and (c) application to knowledge translation and research dissemination.

Authors: Dwyer Tim , Gordey Erin , Ajrawat Prabjit , Lameire Darius L. , Theodoropoulos John , Ogilvie-Harris Darrell , Faulkner Guy , Sabiston Catherine , Chahal Jaskarndip
Published: January 2025

Background

Wearable activity-measurement devices are increasingly popular among the public, but there is little information regarding their use among patients undergoing sports medicine procedures. The purpose of this study was to compare accelerometer-measured data with traditional patient-reported measures and to determine the trajectory of physical activity from before surgery to 1 year after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.

Materials and Methods

Adult patients undergoing primary anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction were enrolled in this prospective cohort pilot study. The Tegner activity scale, Marx activity scale, International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Form (IPAQ-SF), Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS), and EuroQoL-5D were administered preoperatively and 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively. At these intervals, each patient was asked to wear an accelerometer for 7 consecutive days. Time spent in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA min/wk), metabolic equivalents of physical activity, and average daily steps were calculated from the accelerometer output and correlated with patient-reported measures.

Results

Twenty-eight patients were included in this study. Of the 28 patients, 20 remained, and at the 12-month analysis, 18 patients were analyzed. There were significant improvements in Tegner activity scale score, KOOS symptoms, sports/recreation, and quality of life subscales, and IPAQSF MVPA min/wk at final follow-up. All accelerometer-based outcomes had improvements at 3, 6, and 12 months.

Conclusion

The accelerometer may be a useful tool for understanding patients' activity levels at different time points during their recovery and for providing tangible targets for patients to achieve at least an average recovery. [

Authors: Combe Julien , Nora Vladyslav , Tercieux Olivier
Published: January 2025

We study a large market model of dynamic matching with no monetary transfers and a continuum of agents who have to be assigned items at each date. When the social planner can only elicit ordinal agents' preferences, we prove that under a mild regularity assumption, incentive compatible and ordinally efficient allocation rules coincide with spot mechanisms. The latter specify “virtual prices” for items at each date and, for each agent, randomly select a budget of virtual money at the beginning of time. When the social planner can elicit cardinal preferences, we prove that under a similar regularity assumption, incentive compatible and Pareto efficient mechanisms coincide with spot menu of random budgets mechanisms. These are similar to spot mechanisms except that, at the beginning of time, each agent chooses within a menu, a distribution over budget of virtual money.
Gradual learning from incremental actions
Authors: Laiho Tuomas , Murto Pauli , Salmi Julia
Published: January 2025

We introduce a collective experimentation problem where a continuum of agents choose the timing of irreversible actions under uncertainty and where public feedback from the actions arrives gradually over time. The leading application is the adoption of new technologies. The socially optimal expansion path entails an informational trade‐off where acting today speeds up learning but postponing capitalizes on the option value of waiting. We contrast the social optimum to the decentralized equilibrium where agents ignore the social value of information they generate. We show that the equilibrium can be obtained by assuming that agents ignore the future actions of other agents, which lets us recast the complicated two‐dimensional problem as a series of one‐dimensional problems.
Dynamic economics with quantile preferences
Authors: Castro Luciano , Galvao Antonio F. , Nunes Daniel
Published: January 2025

This paper studies a dynamic quantile model for intertemporal decisions under uncertainty, in which the decision maker maximizes the
τ‐quantile of the stream of future utilities, for
τ ∈ (0,1). We present two sets of contributions. First, we generalize existing results in directions that are important for applications. In particular, the sets of choices and random shocks are general metric spaces, either connected or finite. Moreover, the future state is not exclusively determined by the agent's choice, but can also be influenced by shocks. Under these generalizations, we establish the principle of optimality, show that the corresponding dynamic problem yields a value function, and under suitable assumptions, this value function is concave and differentiable. Additionally, we derive the corresponding Euler equation. Second, we illustrate the usefulness of this approach by studying two prominent dynamic economics models. The first deals with intertemporal consumption with one asset. We obtain closed‐form expressions for the value function, the optimal asset allocation and consumption, as well as for the consumption path. These closed‐form solutions allow us to obtain useful comparative statics that shed light on how consumption and savings respond to increase in risk aversion, impatience, and interest rates. For the second model, we discuss a quantile‐based version of the job‐search model with uncertainty.
Is Economic Power an Institution?
Authors: Mastnak Tomaž
Published: January 2025

The article deals with August Ludwig von Rochauʼs reformulation of Liberal politics after the defeat of the 1848 revolution. In response to the widely perceived crisis of Liberalism, von Rochau developed a realistic view of politics (he is credited with the invention of the concept of Realpolitik) as the basis for a renewed Liberalism. His realism with regard to politics, however, did not extend to a critical view of economic power. Economic power was exempted from political reflection and control.
Un courage sans héroïsme
Authors: Birnbaum Antonia
Published: January 2025

The comprehension of the tragic in Hegel and Lacan states Antigone’s unconditional desire as heroic. Against this tendency, another hypothesis is explored: The heroic, be it ironic or a sublime brilliance of the sublime, bars the access to the unconditional by attaching it to a transcendence, rather than inquiring into its address. To play down heroism means to reinterpret the capacity of solitude which characterizes heroic courage. What courage then reveals is an ignorance regarding the law of totality, regarding the world that is to be lived in, through a risk taken by a single one. The direct reference to a “conflict of worlds” throws new light on the approaches of Hegel and Lacan.
What’s Love Got to Do With It?
Authors: Van Laeken Alexandra
Published: January 2025

Badiou’s philosophy deals with the question of radical change, most prominently in relation to love and emancipatory politics. Yet, he notes that love and politics are not interwoven and must be dealt with separately. In recent literature, Lacan’s theory of sexuation and love has been extensively drawn upon and put into relation with politics (notably by Žižek and Zupančič). It is striking that Badiou, being both a highly political thinker and strongly influenced by Lacan, only discusses sexuation in relation to love, but disconnects the concept from politics. In this paper, I probe Badiou’s concept of love in light of Lacan’s formulas of sexuation. I first examine Badiou’s concepts of love and politics in relation to sexuation, then set this against Lacan’s formulas, to eventually illustrate the political relevance of love.
Leon Pinsker’s Proto-Zionist Pamphlet Autoemancipation! in Sh. Y. Abramovitsh’s Skeptical Yiddish Reworking
Authors: Marek Miha
Published: January 2025

Leon Pinsker’s pamphlet Autoemancipation! (1882), a seminal text of early Jewish nationalism, arguably established Zionism as a movement functioning in the German language. Soon after its publication, the renowned Yiddish writer Sh. Y. Abramovitch produced a Yiddish language version (1884). Abramovitsh’s rendering is above all an adaptation of German or Western European political and cultural concepts and vocabulary to the Jewish, Eastern European Yiddish-speaking milieu, with changes in vocabulary, rhetorical strategies, and cultural references. Abramovitsh reworked the pamphlet according to his own thinking on the plight of Jews in the Russian Empire and a possible nationalist solution, as exemplified in his contemporary novels. In the article, I compare the language in which several socio-political concepts are expressed in the two texts in order to determine whether Abramovitsh, in his ideological skepticism, also subtly adapts the content of the nationalist thesis.

La seigneurie rurale : un pouvoir local
Authors: Antoine Annie
Published: January 2025

Après avoir circonscrit les caractéristiques de la seigneurie, l’article propose une analyse du pouvoir local exercé par la seigneurie sous l’Ancien Régime. Au risque d’un anachronisme, on tentera implicitement le parallèle entre les pouvoirs des seigneurs et ceux des collectivités locales et des agents économiques contemporains. Certes, la seigneurie a un coût financier pour la société rurale (ce qui est actuellement le cas également de beaucoup des pouvoirs locaux), mais il y a des contreparties. Le seigneur est un bon pourvoyeur d’emplois ; la seigneurie exerce un pouvoir de police qui, localement, peut être très important et qui, partout, doit assurer la réglementation de la vie publique ; surtout, elle est la base du système judiciaire de la monarchie d’Ancien Régime.
Madrasa Imaginaries and the Politics of UP Government Reform Seen in the Light of Two Case Studies
Authors: Sanyal Usha
Published: January 2025

This paper examines madrasa education in UP, with a particular focus on girls, during the 2017–23 period of BJP rule, led by Yogi Adityanath as chief minister. The paper is directed along three distinct lines of inquiry. First, I look back at British Indian colonial policy regarding institutions of higher learning, both Indian and Western, to understand the colonial roots of the current mistrust of madrasa education by secular Indians and the Hindutva-leaning public. Second, I ask how the UP government has handled educational policy toward Muslims, particularly that regarding madrasas. I focus on a statewide government survey of madrasas in 2022–23, the results and implications of which are ongoing as we speak. And third, I ask how and why many Muslims continue to support madrasa education, including girls’ madrasas, a relatively new addition to the overall educational landscape in UP and elsewhere in India. This section of the paper is based on fieldwork observations at two girls’ madrasas in UP. I conclude that despite some problems—curricular, financial, and other—girls’ madrasas play a valuable role in educating Muslim girls. Graduates enjoy greater respect in their families and communities because of their religious knowledge, and they acquire life skills which benefit their families and communities.
