Authors: Özen Kerem , Levent Cemalettin , Darıcı Burak , Ince Yenilmez Meltem
Published: December 2024

Climate change, one of the most urgent problems of today's world, is an important issue emphasized by researchers and policymakers. Climate change, which has become a global problem, has negative consequences on the environment and people. Therefore, the main objective of this study is to investigate the impact of FDI and R&D expenditures on climate change in BRICS-T (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Turkey) and selected OECD (United Kingdom, Italy, Canada, Spain, Portugal, Denmark, Norway, Austria, Spain, Portugal, Denmark, Norway, Australia) member countries for the period 2000-2020 using panel data analysis method. OECD and BRICS-T country groups are analyzed separately. According to the results of the analysis, it is found that there is no causality relationship between climate change and research and development variables, while there is a bidirectional causality relationship between research and development and foreign direct investment variables. When the causality relationship is analyzed for countries and variables, it is found that there is a bidirectional causality relationship between research and development and FDI variables for Russia and India, and a unidirectional causality relationship from research and development variable to FDI variable for China, South Africa and Turkey.

Authors: Saatci Özen İlknur
Published: December 2024

Bu çalışma 1960-1980 yılları arasında sosyalist sol harekete katılmış olan bireylerin, örgütlü mücadele içerisinde aktif konumlanmalarında rol alan temel etmenleri ve bu etmenlerin günümüzde değişen sol değerlere yaklaşımlarla ilişkisini tartışmaktadır. Bu noktada Ahmet Taner Kışlalı’nın Öğrenci Ayaklanmaları ile Attila İlhan’ın Hangi Sol eserleri referans alınarak çalışmanın bulguları analiz edilmiştir. Araştırma soruları bireylerin sol harekete dair ilk deneyimlerini, katılım gerekçelerini ve örgütlü mücadele içerisinde yer almanın gündelik hayata olan etkisini öğrenmeye yöneliktir. Bu amaca yönelik nitel araştırma türü kullanılarak kartopu örneklem yöntemiyle seçilen 30 katılımcı ile yarı yapılandırılmış mülakatlar yapılmıştır. Çalışma kapsamında bireylerin sosyalist harekete katılımlarına dair “ilk deneyimlerinden” yola çıkarak üç ayrı kategori oluşturulmuştur. Elde edilen veriler, bireylerin sosyalist harekete katılımlarında; “ailenin etkisi”, “sosyal çevrenin etkisi” ve “eğitimin/okulun (özellikle lise ve üniversitenin) etkisi” olarak sınıflandırma yapılmasına olanak vermiştir. Derinlemesine ikili mülakatlar kapsamında elde edilen veriler, 30 görüşmecinin dokuzunun ailenin etkisiyle, 12’sinin okulun/eğitimin etkisiyle kalan dokuz kişinin de sosyal çevrenin etkisiyle sol siyasete katılımlarının gerçekleştiği sonucunu vermiştir. Çalışma, sosyalist harekete katılan bireylerin, sosyalist değerleri hangi koşullarda nasıl deneyimlediklerini ve bu deneyimlerin ilerleyen zamanlarda hangi derecelerde nasıl şekillendiğini belirlemeyi amaçlamıştır. Bireylerden kendi yaşamlarına ve siyasi tercihlerine dair her türlü deneyimi hatırlamaları ve özel olayları anlatmaları istenmiş ve çalışma bu hikayelerin ilişkisel olarak tasnif edilmesi üzerine şekillenmiştir. Anlatılan hikayeler kişisel, sosyal ve tarihsel bağlam hakkında bilgi sunmakla birlikte katılımcıların sosyalist değerler içerisinde kendi kimliklerini geçmişten bugüne nasıl konumlandırdıklarına dair bilgiye erişilmesine imkân vermiştir.
The Causal Dynamics of Globalization, Human Development and Economic Growth on Ecological Footprint: An HDI-Based Cross-Country Analysis
Authors: Apaydın Şükrü
Published: December 2024

This study aims to investigate the causal relationships among globalization, economic growth, human development, and the ecological footprint. Employing the panel Granger causality test developed by Juodis et al. (2021), this study utilizes data from 118 countries spanning the period from 1990 to 2021. I also conduct a multivariate causality analysis for four distinct country groups based on their human development index (very high HDI, high HDI, medium HDI, and low HDI). A key finding of this study is the consistent emergence of a joint causal relationship between globalization and human development and the ecological footprint across all country groups. Similarly, I find globalization and economic growth to be joint Granger causes of the ecological footprint, except for the medium HDI group. Consequently, globalization, along with growth and human development as fundamental economic objectives, emerges as significant drivers of the ecological footprint across all countries. In light of these findings, it is imperative for policymakers to revisit economic policies, giving due consideration to the sustainability of ultimate economic goals.
Ruislag Procedure of Waqf Land Affected by National Strategic Projects in the Perspective of State Administrative Law
Authors: Astarudin Tatang
Published: December 2024

Waqf land plays an important legal and social role in Indonesia, particularly to support religious activities and public welfare. Under Law No. 41 of 2004 on Waqf, waqf land may not be transferred except through exchange or ruislag procedures under certain conditions. In the context of National Strategic Projects (PSN), waqf land is often affected, making it important to ensure that ruislag procedures remain legally compliant. This research aims to explore the ruislag procedure of waqf land in PSN and evaluate its application to identify improvements in state administrative law. This research utilises the normative juridical method. The research found that the ruislag process of waqf land affected by National Strategic Projects (PSN) requires strong coordination between the Indonesian Waqf Board, the Ministry of Religious Affairs, and other relevant institutions. It is important to ensure that the replacement land has equal or better value, in accordance with sharia principles and applicable laws. Active participation of beneficiary communities is essential to maintain transparency and public trust.
The Principles of Good Faith in E-Contract Financial Technology
Authors: Kusumastuti Dora , Sutoyo Sutoyo
Published: December 2024

This research discusses the Principle of Good Faith in E-Contract Financial Technology, which is a relatively new type of agreement in Indonesia. An e-contract can be formed when there is an agreement or mutual consent between the parties involved in the contract during its drafting. The existence of an e-contract is a new development in modern contract types, requiring appropriate regulation based on clear legal foundations. However, in practice, current regulations are not yet able to fully protect the parties involved in e-contracts. Therefore, in the creation of e-contracts, it is necessary to have a controlling mechanism based on moral values and conscience, commonly known as the principle of good faith, to support the principle of freedom of contract. The principle of good faith is considered the most important (super eminent principle) in contracts. Given the various issues that arise, this research aims to discuss the importance of the principle of good faith in e-contract financial technology. This subject research is E-Contract Financial Technology, method research used is normative juridical, with data sourced from secondary data, analyzed using deductive logic. The research results indicate that the principle of good faith needs to be applied and instilled in the parties involved in the contract, namely business actors, in this case, fintech providers, and consumers as fintech users. This principle ensures that the contract's substance is carried out based on solid trust or confidence, as well as the good will of the parties involved. By applying the principle of good faith to the parties involved, the risk of wanprestatie on the part of any party can be minimized, as there is already a foundation of trust and good will.
Legal Protection for Land Owners Whose Land is Illegally Certified Through Land Registration
Authors: Malintang Lulus Purna
Published: December 2024

This paper analyzes the validity of land registration based on informal land sale and purchase agreements and the legal protection for landowners whose land has been unlawfully registered. The study employs a normative juridical research method. Informal land sale and purchase refers to transactions involving a parcel of land conducted without involving an authorized official as required by law. Such transactions are characterized as agreements between the seller and buyer, evidenced by a deed not prepared by a Land Deed Official (PPAT), with its evidentiary strength relying on mutual acknowledgment and documentation provided by the parties. Land registration based on informal land sale and purchase agreements is invalid as it does not comply with Article 37 paragraph (1) of Government Regulation Number 24 of 1997 on Land Registration, nor does it fulfill the principles of clarity and immediacy, the legal requirements of agreements, or the material and formal conditions for land sale and purchase. Landowners who suffer losses due to the unlawful issuance of land certificates may file a claim for unlawful acts under Article 1365 of the Indonesian Civil Code, seek the cancellation of rights due to administrative defects from the Minister or Head of the Land Office, and file a cancellation claim through the Administrative Court (PTUN).

Authors: Ihwan Ali , Mahmutarom Mahmutarom , Hernawati Sari
Published: December 2024

Di era milenial sekarang santri lebih banyak mencari pengetahuan, pemahaman dan referensi tentang agama di media sosial dengan mengabaikan peran guru dan referensi buku. Hal ini menjadikan beberapa santri memahami agama secara garis keras atau secara sekuler, dan santri mudah termakan hoaks dan sering bertindak emosional, bahkan pemahaman agama santri terkadang menyimpang karena mendapat panduan dari media sosial tersebut. Menyikapi hal tersebut santri membutuhkan pendidikan spiritual salah satunya melalui ajaran tarekat dalam mengatasi modernisasi tersebut agar setiap perilakunya mampu berjalan sesuai ajaran agama dan terus mendekatkan diri dengan Allah SWT dan santri mampu menetralisir budaya yang masuk dan juga dapat dijadikan cek and balance bagi maraknya budaya barat yang masuk. Permasalahan yang diteliti dalam penelitian ini adalah bagaimana peran pendidikan tarekat pada santri di era milenial? Hasilnya bahwa pendidikan tarekat berarti sistem dalam rangka mengadakan latihan jiwa, membersihkan diri dari sifat-sifat yang tercela dan mengisinya dengan sifat-sifat yang terpuji, yang berperan bagi santri di era milenial sebagai petunjuk dan bimbingan dari kehidupan dunia hingga akhirat sehingga akan menimbulkan kebahagian dan ketenangan hidup di dunia dan akhirat.
Mediation Agreement in A Contested Divorce Case in Cibinong District Court
Authors: Permata Cindy , Surahmad Surahmad
Published: December 2024

This research aims to analyze the consideration of amicable agreements in the mediation process in cases of contested divorce at the Cibinong District Court and identify the factors that influence the success and failure of mediation. As an alternative dispute resolution method, mediation has a strategic role in creating more humane and sustainable solutions. The results showed that amicable agreements in mediation are based on the principles of justice and benefit, which provide solutions more quickly, flexibly, and reduce emotional conflict compared to the litigation process. Mediation is an effective alternative for resolving disputes in divorce cases, especially regarding sensitive issues such as child custody and division of joint property. The success of mediation is influenced by several key factors, including the willingness of both parties to compromise, the competence of the mediator, and a conducive mediation atmosphere. The professionalism of the mediator is crucial to the success of this process, as they act as a neutral facilitator who helps the parties find a common solution. On the other hand, mediation failure is often caused by high emotional conflict, distrust, lack of commitment to resolve the dispute, and the absence of one of the parties. This study concludes that mediation can be an effective instrument in resolving divorce cases when supported by good communication, the commitment of the parties, and the support of a professional mediator. These findings make an important contribution to understanding the importance of strengthening the mediation process to improve the efficiency of the justice system and reduce the negative impact of divorce.

Gestión de la seguridad en territorios populares de Córdoba
Authors: Vittorelli Sofia Maria , Previtali María Elena
Published: December 2024

The article addresses the implementation of public security policies in diverse social contexts from an ethnographic perspective. Specifically, it examines the sociopolitical processes involved in two popular sectors of the city of Córdoba, Argentina, and the experiences of participation in a network that brings together residents, officials, experts, and police within the framework of so-called "Neighborhood Councils." These spaces were established as part of the integral Córdoba Encounters Plan (2016), setting themselves apart from previous security approaches by adopting a "comprehensive preventive" focus and a Quadrant System that classifies neighborhoods according to their "level of vulnerability." The cases analyzed correspond to councils located, according to this system, in red quadrants with a high vulnerability index and "urgent needs." While they have different histories of formation and urbanization, they share a series of interesting definitions regarding "insecurity" and policy, useful for examining contemporary local processes.
Primer análisis arqueofaunístico del sitio El Carmen 2, valle de Santa María (Tucumán, Argentina)
Authors: Longo Agustina
Published: December 2024

This paper presents the first analyses of archaeofaunas recovered from the archaeological site El Carmen 2, located in the central-western sector of the Santa María valley (Tucumán, Argentina). The analyzed samples come from the excavations carried out in the courtyard of a residential structure occupied during the first and second millennium AD. The predominance of camelids on the occupation floor with probable fresh fractures and processing marks and the presence of remains of calcined armadillos dermal plates allow us to think that they were part of the food consumed. The identification of domestic camelids and of a sub-adult individual dated 1567 ± 28 years C14 BP are consistent with the presence of grazing practices since early times in the Valliserrana area.

Published: December 2024

In a context of social and environmental transformations, a plan for an archaeological museum-park is proposed in the community of Ligüiqui, located on the central coast of Ecuador, as part of a strategy for the resilience of the population and for the conservation/valorization of an outstanding cultural heritage, where a fishing complex of pre-Hispanic structures built in the intertidal zone stands out and has remained in force until today. For its development, a participatory approach has been followed that runs through all phases of the research, based on a qualitative methodology, interweaving the formal-architectural aspects with the environmental and intangible ones. The results are embodied in a combination of classic concepts of ecomuseums (territory, heritage and community) with the most recent ones oriented towards citizen participation, articulating, in conclusion, an initiative that integrates elements related to empowerment, community self-management and collective identity as a dynamic process, with the aspiration of its inhabitants to achieve sustainable development.
“Pi’oxonaq son de Dios, Doctor son de Dios, Evangelio son de Dios”: Campo terapéutico e itinerarios de atención en los Tobas (Qom) del Departamento General Güemes, Chaco Argentina
Authors: Martínez Gustavo Javier , Ceriani Cernadas César
Published: December 2024

The article presents a socioanthropological analysis of how the Toba (Qom) residents of the General Güemes Department, historically entwined with Christian missionization experiences, construct meanings and steer crucial actions concerning health amidst severe healthcare stress and environmental degradation. The study is structured around two main themes: health ethnoecology, intercultural healthcare, and experiences of care and illness; and the political and religious processes in Chaco indigenous communities. Through ethnographic inquiry, the study contextually examines three narratives that describe the paths individuals take to seek solutions for their health problems. Specifically, it explores: a) the historical and social development of local therapeutic practices, influenced by past Protestant Christian medical missions, which have shaped the values and practices of the Qom groups; and b) the diverse settings, individuals, specialists, and belief systems involved in the healthcare trajectories of native Qom people, which encompass indigenous medical traditions (such as shamanism and evangelio), traditional remedies (including self-treatment and criollo and syncretic healing practices, i.e., curanderism), and access to public healthcare services.
Un estudio antropológico de los sentidos y prácticas de los cuidados familiares en torno a padecimientos de salud infantil en comunidades originarias del norte de Salta
Authors: Suarez Maria Eugenia
Published: December 2024

Intestinal parasitosis is a disease that predominantly affects the most disadvantaged social groups, especially children, with the most vulnerable population being in rural areas and peri-urban areas of cities. In this sense, this article addresses the meanings that families attribute to a set of illnesses that affect children, ranging from nutritional problems, chronic non-communicable diseases, skin allergies, gastrointestinal diseases, highlighting mainly the references to diseases caused by intestinal parasitosis. To do so, the native categories referenced by families to describe such illnesses are identified, the appropriation of certain terms derived from the relationship with health agents as well as the configuration of practices of indigenous groups that live in peri-urban neighborhoods of the city of Tartagal, San Martin department (Salta). Based on the contribution of the anthropology of health theorists, the diseases caused by intestinal parasites and other conditions that affect children are addressed as part of a collectively developed understanding, based on health interventions and care practices that are produced in vulnerable health environments, the product of territorial dispossession and confinement to unfavorable living spaces.

Authors: Brnić Ivona , Jugović Alen , Aksentijević Dea
Published: December 2024

Nautical tourism is an economic phenomenon that has played an increasingly important role in the economic growth of the coastal states of the European Union in recent decades. Strictly speaking, nautical tourism is a part of tourism that, according to data from 2021, accounts for as much as 15.9% of the total GDP of the Republic of Croatia. Despite these high numbers, Croatia lags behind European countries such as France, Spain and Italy due to its relatively weak nautical tourism offer. Considering the climatic and spatial conditions and the long coastline rich in relief, Croatia still has a lot of unused potential for the development of nautical tourism. Nautical charter is one of the most underdeveloped activities of nautical tourism, especially in the area of ​​luxury charter, which refers to the rental of luxury yachts. Daily and multi-day charters are more common in Croatia, but the lack of differentiation of the fleet and inadequately trained personnel make it impossible for the services offered to meet the demand. This is particularly evident in the period following the Covid 19 pandemic, which has greatly changed the economic and social point of view of boat users.
The aim of this scientific article is to compare the nautical tourism of the Republic of Croatia and selected countries of the European Union, with special attention to the nautical charter, in order to gain insight into the current state of the market and identify advantages and disadvantages. of charter tourism to enable the further development of the Republic of Croatia in the above-mentioned field. Through the collected statistical data the prices and quality of the nautical charter service in Croatia and competing countries of the European Union, the results were compared and analyzed. Considering the affordability of renting motor and sailing yachts, the competitiveness of the Republic of Croatia on the European market is undeniable. However, this work also examines whether the existing infrastructure and superstructure can support the potential development of nautical charter in the Republic of Croatia.

Seakeeping criteria significantly impact ship aspects like speed loss, operational optimization, and structural integrity. This study integrated experimental and numerical methods to evaluate the seakeeping performance of an asymmetrical hull with varying hull separations and wave headings. Experimental Fluid Dynamics (EFD) tests were conducted in a towing tank with irregular waves and a Pierson-Moskowitz spectrum. Concurrently, numerical simulations using the Boundary Element Method (BEM) computed Response Amplitude Operators (RAO) for heave, pitch, and roll motions. The numerical mesh demonstrated a high degree of agreement between RAO peak values from BEM simulations and experimental tests, with discrepancies between 1% and 5%, indicating BEM’s precision in predicting ship responses to wave conditions. The analysis demonstrates that wave heading significantly influences the heave, pitch, and roll motions of the catamaran, with beam seas (90°) presenting the most severe conditions for heave and roll, while head seas (180°) lead to the largest pitch motions. Optimal performance is observed at a separation-to-length (S/L) ratio of 0.4, which minimizes excessive motion across various wave headings. The analysis indicates that while both S/L and wave heading influence vessel motions, the impact of wave heading is more pronounced, with optimal S/L values varying based on specific wave angles. Overall, the findings underscore the critical relationship between hull separation and wave direction, indicating that larger S/L ratios contribute to improved seakeeping performance.

Authors: Subedi Dhruba Prasad , Bhandari Dilli Ram
Published: December 2024

Corporate social responsibility plays a critical role in enhancing a company's reputation, building customer trust, improving employee satisfaction, and contributing to sustainable development, all of which drive long-term business success. Customer loyalty is equally crucial, as it fosters repeat business, strengthens brand reputation, reduces marketing costs, and ensures long-term profitability and sustainable growth for a company. Service quality enhances customer loyalty by providing a superior and consistent experience, which builds trust, satisfaction, and emotional connection, encouraging customers to return and recommend the brand. This study explores the mediating role of service quality in the relationship between corporate social responsibility and customer loyalty within Nepalese commercial banks. A structured questionnaire was used to gather data from 397 customers across various branches, employing a convenience sampling approach. The data were analyzed using Process Macro 4, with a 95% confidence interval and 5,000 bootstrap samples. The results indicate that service quality fully mediates the impact of CSR on customer loyalty, highlighting its critical role in fostering stronger customer relationships in the banking sector. This study demonstrates that enhancing service quality can help foster customer loyalty across various demographic groups. Furthermore, it emphasizes the importance of implementing CSR initiatives that focus on improving service quality to develop greater customer loyalty towards the organization.

Mass labor shortages in an extreme pandemic could pose a significant risk to the continuity of vital sectors, severely restricting the ability of countries to provide food, water, and other basic needs to their populations. In this study, we investigate vital sector preparedness by using Monte Carlo simulations to estimate the availability of and demand for pandemic-proof personal protective equipment (P4E), reviewing literature on vulnerabilities and response plans, and interviewing experts. The supply of rapidly-mobilizable P4E in the United States was found to be insufficient, with estimated vital sector demand for respirators far exceeding amounts available in stockpiles. This is expected to be the case for almost all other nations, given most respirators are produced in China and the United States. Key risk-areas were found for individual sectors, such as high-transmission environments in food processing, and between sectors, such as interdependencies which could lead to cascading infrastructure failures. To enhance response planning, we propose five priority measures: (i) develop P4E allocation strategies, (ii) improve adaptations to workplaces (e.g., air quality) and work processes (e.g., shift schedules), (iii) establish worker sequestration (isolation) protocols, (iv) address socioeconomic vulnerabilities, and (v) develop contingency plans for meeting basic needs in the event of infrastructure collapse. This research underscores the urgent need for future research and policy efforts to increase pandemic preparedness in vital sectors and provides actionable recommendations to begin doing so.
Branding and Promotional Incentives on Purchase Behavior for Sanitary Napkins among Young Adult Female Consumers in Bangladesh
Authors: Rodrick Stanley Sumon , Islam Hamidul , Sarker Sahin Akter , Hema Mousomi Hridoy
Published: December 2024

This investigation encompasses the influences of branding and promotional incentives on the purchase intention of sanitary napkins among young adult female consumers in Dhaka City. The analysis utilized mixed methodology, combining a comprehensive review of published information with structured quantitative studies, qualitative FGDs, and interviews. A non-probability purposive sampling technique was used to analyze 517 responses. The outcomes were rigorously analyzed using SPSS Version 20 application software. Though many conglomerates in Bangladesh have invested in the female sanitary napkins segment, this has yet to expand. The findings prescribe explicit barriers related to availability and affordability, the suspicious look of shopkeepers, and infrequent awareness-building campaigns by brands that hinder consumer purchase choices. This study proves that unattended reproductive health issues (e.g., menstruation) hamper the achievement of SDGs. Appropriate strategy execution among manufacturers, trade intermediaries, and the national administration minimizes the influence of social taboos, and attractive product offerings will stimulate proper hygiene practices and brand loyalty. This investigation exclusively embraces adolescent female customers in Dhaka. Consequently, forthcoming research will emphasize female workers in different age groups in the Ready-Made Garment (RMG) sector within the Dhaka city peripherals. Such workers are economically underprivileged segments, and barely any such investigation was conducted on their purchase intention regarding female hygiene practices. Thus, future investigators may exploit the random sampling technique to attain a substantial outcome and influence garment workers' purchase behavior.

Published: December 2024

Resilient outcomes are the most common response to societal crises. Resilience factors represent multilevel psychosocial resources that increase the likelihood of resilient responses. While resilience research has predominantly focused on individual factors, social and societal factors have received less attention. This umbrella review aimed to identify and summarize evidence on social and societal resilience factors linked to mental health responses during societal challenges in high-income countries. Systematic reviews exploring these associations were identified through searches in three databases up to June 12, 2023. Resilience factors were classified as having favorable, unfavorable, mixed, or non-significant associations with mental health outcomes. Quality appraisal used an adapted AMSTAR-2-tool. Twenty reviews (samples: 2,402–489,419) reported on stressors like pandemics, minority stress, and migration. At the social level, stronger evidence supports the favorable effects of social support, relationship quality, and family support. Societal factors like adequate housing, access to mental health services, and supportive policies were linked to resilience outcomes, though evidence remains sparse or heterogenous for many factors. An expert survey rated social factors as slightly more important than societal ones. Expanding resilience research to include families, workplaces, and societal factors in longitudinal studies will enhance the understanding of resilience from a systemic perspective.
Reproducing Misogyny: The Indian and Malayali Manosphere
Authors: C. Chinchu
Published: December 2024

Recent times have witnessed a significant resurgence of anti-feminist sentiments globally manifesting primarily through digital communities collectively known as the manosphere. This paper outlines the complex landscape of online misogynistic communities, exploring their ideological structures, radicalization processes, and potential societal implications. By looking into diverse manosphere groups including Men's Rights Activists, Incels, and Red Pill communities, the study describes the sophisticated network of interconnected platforms promoting harmful masculinist ideologies. The paper also provides a preliminary look at the Indian manosphere characterized by content creators mimicking global misogynistic influencers and self-styled mentors who provide relationship advice rooted in deeply misogynistic ideologies backed by conservative political structures. The Malayali manosphere is presented as a regional variant with a distinct identity, distinguished by innovative terminologies and spanning both Kerala and the global Malayalee diaspora.

Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) is crucial for enhancing research quality, relevance, and addressing health inequalities. PPI ensures that studies tackle relevant and meaningful questions, have a design and methodology that are feasible and acceptable, and build trust and engagement in research among marginalised communities. However, the need to share specific instances of PPI to advance the field and encourage the adoption of such activities by the research community still remains. The aim of this paper is to provide a detailed report on the PPI activities undertaken to co-design and implement a randomised controlled trial of a novel therapeutic tool designed to increase interoception ability and metacognition (i.e., the InMe trial). The InMe trial integrated insights from experts by experience, as well as from clinical and academic experts, throughout. This collaborative approach resulted in the development of comprehensive study procedures across four main trial stages, including: designing, delivering, interpreting results, and future planning. Feedback on PPI activities from collaborators indicated effective collaboration, and some further improvements on how to best support experts by experience when sharing their experiences were also identified. Here, we highlight the unique insights and added value in incorporating PPI activities into our trial development and implementation, while reporting challenges and shortcomings that were identified throughout this process.
Father Absence or Absent Father?: A Study of the Change of the Perceived Expectations Toward Fathers in Hong Kong
Authors: CHUNG Ka Yan , Ma Henry
Published: December 2024

This study explores the perceived expectations towards fathers in Hong Kong, focusing on understanding the changes in these expectations, examining the possible impacts of the changed expectation, and exploring the contributing factors of those changed expectations. As society and family structures evolve, so do the roles of fathers, leading to changes in perceived expectations. The concept of “Absent Father” demonstrates that the emotional dissatisfaction of children is a significant factor in Father Absence. The study highlights the importance of addressing both the physical and mental aspects of father involvement. Further research is needed to better understand the impact of this issue on Hong Kong families and to develop effective strategies to support the development of positive and healthy father figures.
