Authors: Söyler Osman , Ünver Banu
Published: September 2024

Unilateral transfemoral amputelerde protez kullanımı yürüyüş mekaniğinde önemli değişikliklere yol açar. Protez kullanım süresi bu bireylerin yürüme yeteneğini etkileyen kritik faktörler arasındadır. Bu çalışmada, farklı protez kullanım sürelerine sahip unilateral transfemoral amputelerin yürüyüş parametrelerinin incelenmesi ve protez kullanımının yürüyüş üzerindeki etkilerinin değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmaya 18-45 yaş aralığındaki 45 katılımcı üç grupta dahil edilmiştir: yeni protez kullanmaya başlayan unilateral transfemoral amputeler (n=15), en az 3 yıldır protez kullanan transfemoral amputeler (n=15) ve sağlıklı bireyler (n=15). Yürüyüş değerlendirmesi UltiumTM Smartlead tabanlıklı plantar basınç analizi kullanılarak yapılmıştır. Yeni ve deneyimli amputelerde sağlam tarafa göre prostetik taraf duruş fazının daha kısa, sallanma fazı ve adım süresinin daha uzun olduğu (p0,05) bulunmuştur. Duruş fazı fark, sallanma fazı fark, adım süresi fark ve kadans değişkenleri açısından deneyimli ve yeni amputelerin benzer olduğu (p>0.05) ve bu iki grubun kontrol grubuna kıyasla duruş fazı fark, sallanma fazı fark ve adım süresi fark değerlerinin daha fazla, kadans değerlerinin ise daha düşük olduğu görülmüştür (p
Re-Orientations: Spain and Jerusalem in the Longue Durée
Authors: Leahy Chad
Published: September 2024

This article provides a brief overview of Spain’s historical ties to Jerusalem, arguing that a Mediterranean approach to Spanish Jerusalem encourages us to resituate the Holy City in both space and time as a key location in the articulation of Spanish imperial and national identity. By recovering the fundamental Mediterraneanness of Spanish entanglements with Jerusalem, scholars are also obliged to recognize at once the complex, interdependent, porous borders through which the categories of empire and nation are regularly negotiated, and the profoundly transtemporal resonance of those configurations, which continue to matter today.
Rethinking Sacred Monarchy from a Spanish Perspective
Authors: Corteguera Luis
Published: September 2024

In histories on kingship, Spain seems to live up to its reputation of being different. Whereas sacred monarchy, as epitomized by the thaumaturgical English and French rulers, was the ideal of premodern kingship, Spanish monarchs were, as historian Teófilo Ruiz bluntly put it, “unsacred.” Critics countered that Iberian monarchs were sacred, they just manifested sacrality differently, not with miracles but with ceremonies. Modern historians and anthropologists have seen sacrality as a source of power based on evidence from royal propaganda and political theology, which they consider representative of a premodern worldview. Surveying rulers from antiquity to their present, Christian as well as non-Christian, in Europe, across the Mediterranean, and beyond, writers of all persuasions saw claims to miraculous powers and divinity as one answer to a question rulers faced everywhere: What should be the role of religion as an instrument of authority? From this broad perspective, Spanish difference was not a diversion from an ideal but a local answer to this question, just as sacred kingship, rather than a universal model, was another answer limited to Northern Europe. Ultimately, these observations support Carlo Ginzburg’s assertion that the encounter between different cultural traditions can open “a profound and unexpected viewpoint on reality.”

“The Best Home for This Paper”: A Qualitative Study of How Authors Select Where to Submit Manuscripts
Authors: Maggio Lauren A. , Chtena Natascha , Alperin Juan Pablo , Moorhead Laura , Willinsky John M.
Published: September 2024

Introduction: For authors, selecting a target journal to submit a manuscript is a critical decision with career implications. In the discipline of medical education, research conducted in 2016 found that authors were influenced by multiple factors such as a journal’s prestige and its mission. However, since this research was conducted the publishing landscape has shifted to include a broader variety of journals, an increased threat of predatory journals, and new publishing models. This study updates and expands upon how medical education authors decide which journal to submit to with the aim of describing the motivational factors and journal characteristics that guide authors’ decision making.
Methods: The authors conducted five qualitative focus groups in which twenty-two medical education authors and editors participated. During the focus groups participants were engaged in a discussion about how they select a journal to submit their manuscripts. Audio from all focus groups was transcribed. Transcripts were analyzed using codebook thematic analysis.
Results: Participants considered multiple factors when selecting a target journal. Factors included a journal’s impact, the scope of a journal, journal quality, and technical factors (e.g., word limits). Participants also described how social factors influenced their process and that open access plays a role that could both encourage or deter submission.
Discussion: The findings describe the motivational factors and influential signals that guide authors in their journal selection decision making. These findings confirm, extend, and update journal selection factors reported in medical education and other disciplines. Notably, these findings emphasize the role of social factors, relationships and personal experiences, which were absent from previous work. Additionally, we observed increased consideration of open acces and a shift away from an emphasis on journal prestige.
Digital object-based learning for people with ASD: a training experience within heritage education contexts
Authors: Re Maria Rosaria , Valente Mara
Published: September 2024

The paper aims at presenting a training experience for future educators carried out during the academic year 2022/2023 on the use of Digital Object-Based Learning (OBL) for people with Autism Spectrum Disorders. Three different webinars, designed within the Erasmus+ Spektrum project, have been realised with a focus on the design, implementation, and evaluation of personalised museum educational experiences to foster social inclusion and wellbeing within people with specific educational needs through Object-based learning (OBL). As stated by the literature in the field, hands-on learning within heritage education contexts can really enhance people's interest in and understanding of a topic/subject and develop important transverse skills, thus promoting cultural participation of users at risk of social exclusion. During the webinars, specific models for planning learning sessions with ASD people were presented, together with wellbeing and empathy assessment tools to be used within museum context. The training experience ended with a digital OBL session, where museum educators were asked to collaboratively analyse, interpret, and evaluate digitised museum objects. More than 90 in-training educators, from different Italian and Spanish institutions, attended the webinars: results from a final assessment survey are presented in order to highlight strengths and weaknesses of the training experience, the soft and hard skills most promoted and the educational needs of the participants, trying to identify challenges and potential transformations within digital heritage education context.

Published: September 2024

Higher education institutions lead in innovation application and test various technology-enhanced solutions to correspond to student and labour market needs, foster and analyse innovative scenarios, and their impact on teaching and learning processes. There is a limited number of shared good practices that discuss technologies used for the issuance of micro-credentials, and this paper aims to reveal the higher education practice of testing some virtual infrastructures for issuing micro-credentials for students attending non-formal university courses. This research experimented with and tested VLE Moodle and Europass EDC infrastructures to issue micro-credentials. It was found that both Moodle VLE and Europass EDC infrastructure can be used to issue micro-credentials. Europass EDC infrastructure is more end-user friendly, while Moodle collects data during the learning process and can automatically transfer results to the micro-credential. However, both virtual infrastructures have some drawbacks, which may be fixed in the future.

Monosodium glutamate disrupts zebrafish sleep-like state likely through activation of peripheral nervous system glutamate receptors
Authors: Mohammad Kutub Ali  , Derron Ricardo Taite
Published: September 2024

Monosodium glutamate (MSG), a widely used flavor enhancer, has raised concerns about its effects on behavior and sleep. This study investigates how MSG influences zebrafish sleep-like state (SLS) and interacts with other substances affecting neurobehavioral responses. Adult zebrafish were exposed to MSG at concentrations of 50, 100, and 150 mg/L, and their swimming speeds and SLS durations were recorded over a 14-hour night period. The results indicated that higher MSG concentrations increased swimming speeds and decreased SLS duration, suggesting heightened excitability and reduced sleep recovery. The study further evaluated how MSG impacts anesthesia sensitivity induced by 2-phenoxyethanol (POE) compared to alcohol and nicotine. Zebrafish were pre-treated with 50 mg/L MSG, 0.5% alcohol, or 0.5 mg/L nicotine before being anesthetized with POE. Nicotine decreased anesthesia sensitivity in a concentration-dependent manner by enhancing neurotransmitter release. In contrast, MSG and alcohol had minimal effects on anesthesia. The limited impact of MSG on anesthesia sensitivity suggests that MSG primarily affects peripheral nervous system functions rather than central nervous system functions, likely due to its poor ability to cross the blood-brain barrier. Overall, the findings demonstrate that MSG disrupts zebrafish behavior through peripheral mechanisms, affecting both swimming activity and sleep patterns. Nicotine, on the other hand, influences behavior through central nervous system interactions. These results highlight the need for further research to better understand how dietary additives like MSG impact neurobehavioral functions in aquatic models, offering insights into their broader implications for sleep and behavior.

The current article brings to the fore key results of the implementation of citizen science (CS) practices at universities and their libraries by focusing on five Baltic universities. It observes the improvement of skills and knowledge in the participating organisations. It examines the need and readiness for the institutional change necessary for implementing CS practices in the Baltics and the ways the participating organisations have improved in the field of CS during the LibOCS project (University libraries strengthening the academia-society connection through citizen science in the Baltics, 2022–2024). The study aims to determine to what extent the framework of the current project and the implementation of the BESPOC model (Broad Engagement in Science, Point of Contact) included in the project could act as a blueprint for other organisations wanting to implement institutional and policy changes to advance in the field of CS. These kinds of hubs or knowledge centres have already been established in some Central and Western European countries and it is necessary to create that kind of support system in the Baltic universities.
The article is based on the interviews, surveys, and workshops held on the topics of CS advocacy and implementation of the BESPOC model at Baltic universities led by five university libraries (referred to here as LibOCS HEIs): Tallinn University of Technology (TalTech), University of Tartu (UT), University of Latvia (UL), Kaunas University of Technology (KTU), and Vytautas Magnus University (VMU). The article introduces the core aspects of the LibOCS project, describes the starting point of the participating organisations,  and librarians, their level of knowledge about CS and its practices, and proceeds with the changes that took place during the five major project stages and their outputs. The article presents the knowledge growth of the participants, the tools and training materials created for librarians, the practical consultations and workshops that led to the implementation process of the BESPOC model. The more knowledgeable the librarians are, the easier it is to implement CS-related services and establish a central hub. As a result of the project, a positive shift towards the openness to CS activities and its support systems has been identified within participating libraries, and some elements of a single point of contact model are already in development. However, to fully adopt that approach, universities have to include CS in their strategies and allocate resources, entrusting the leader of the process with the work of creating a CS hub.

The Brazilian Particularity: Pre-Salt in the Energy Transition
Authors: Romano Schutte Giorgio , Fuser Igor , Almeida Ferreira Abrão Rafael
Published: September 2024

Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar os desafios impostos pela exploração das reservas brasileiras de petróleo em águas profundas (pré-sal) desde 2007 e o papel da Petrobras no contexto de transição energética global. É utilizada uma metodologia qualitativa, que inclui revisão bibliográfica, coleta de dados estatísticos e análise sistemática das características do setor energético brasileiro. Argumentar-se que o desafio para o Brasil é equilibrar os ganhos econômicos do pré-sal com políticas de apoio ao desenvolvimento nacional e, ao mesmo tempo, incentivar o uso de outras fontes energéticas. Argumentamos que, dependendo das políticas nacionais implementadas, o pré-sal pode não necessariamente entrar em conflito com os objetivos de uma transição energética. No entanto, se uma estratégia clara não for implementada para aproveitar esses recursos, as receitas do petróleo podem ser apropriadas apenas por interesses financeiros privados de curto prazo. A Petrobras desempenha um papel fundamental nesse processo.Palavras-Chave: Brasil, pré-sal, transição energética, soberania energética.

Authors: Billig Osvaldo Alencar , Suzi Letícia
Published: September 2024

Este artigo tem como objetivo abranger o contexto histórico em que o Japão retornou às relações internacionais, após o período de ocupação pós-Segunda Guerra Mundial; buscando correlacionar tais eventos com o caminho trilhado para o desenvolvimento de sua economia e diplomacia. Focando em seu relacionamento com os principais atores da Guerra Fria, os Estados Unidos – seu principal aliado capitalista – e atores comunistas na Ásia, como a China. Faz-se, por fim, o estabelecimento de concepções das Relações Internacionais que possam explicar o comportamento incomum que o Estado japonês adotou ao separar sua economia e política ao objetivar seus lucros e desenvolvimento, suas razões ao buscar o engrandecimento financeiro do país em meio à corrida armamentista bipolar e como sua política de segurança neutra o auxiliou e o diferenciou de outros atores da época. Para que essa análise fosse possível foi utilizado o método de pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, com foco em artigos e livros escritos por autores asiáticos e historiadores na língua inglesa em uma tentativa de expor o ponto de vista da reconstrução do Japão que o transformou em um ator importante no Leste Asiático por conta da adoção do “peace state”.

Talent Development Pathways for Integrating Law and Business in Chinese Universities
Authors: Zhao Ting
Published: September 2024

The practice of “integration of law and business” in universities has a history of nearly twenty years in China. With the maturity of China’s market economy system, the cultivation of compound talents of law and business become more and more important in the future development of business majors and law majors in universities. This paper mainly adopts literature research method and induction and summary method to collect the relevant literature of the “integration of law and business” curriculum construction and talent training path in the four platforms, and summarizes and analyzes the specific practices in the university running practice. Through research, it is found that in the past five years, the trend of “integration of law and business” in running schools in domestic colleges and universities has been rising, and many business majors in colleges and universities implement the integration of law and business in related courses such as “Economic Law”, “International Economic Law” and “International Trade Law”. Construction of the team of compound teachers of law and business and emphasis on practical teaching are the core part of the cultivating compound talents of law and business. Combing through the historical practice of the training of complex talents of law and business in domestic colleges and universities is helpful to provide reference and guidance for other colleges and universities to carry out the reform of the integration of law and business education, and is conducive to deepening and improving the training mechanism of complex talents of law and business, and train talents who can truly meet the needs of economic and social development.

Published: September 2024

Meat production is one of the major purposes of the poultry industry. Meat is full of protein and accomplishes the protein requirement of the diet. This study was carried out to attempt to use CRISPR-mediated genome editing of chicken to increase meat yield. For this purpose, CRISPR was used to edit the gene sequence and then it was allowed to infect the PGC’s (Primordial germ cells). The successfully edited PGC’s having blocked exon 3 of MSTN gene were then injected into the blood bloodstream of 2.6 days of fertilized egg cells. The eggs were incubated up to hatch.   The wild type was taken as control and the Mutated ones as T1. The CRD was used with three replications to find the significance of variation in To and T1. The weight of chicks for T0 (wild type) and T1 (Mutated) was significantly different. The average weight of three replications of each treatment was compared through a bar graph. it was found that the CRISPR-mediated edited chicks were more weighted than that of their wild types. The CRISP-mediated inhibition of MSTN has a significant effect on muscle growth in chickens. The more such genes may be targeted to get more meat yield.

Exploring Value-oriented Storytelling Influences Traveler Loyalty Through Satisfaction and Image
Authors: Asraf Asraf , Supriaddin Nofal
Published: September 2024

This study explores the impact of Value-oriented Storytelling on Tourist Loyalty, with the mediation of Customer Satisfaction and Destination Image, using a sample of 196 tourists who visited the "Diamond Triangle" in North Konawe Regency. The results show that Customer Satisfaction, Destination Image, and Value-oriented Storytelling have a significant influence on Tourist Loyalty. Customer Satisfaction has a direct impact on loyalty, while Destination Image plays a role in enhancing both satisfaction and tourist loyalty. Value-oriented Storytelling significantly strengthens Destination Image, which in turn increases Customer Satisfaction and drives Tourist Loyalty. Additionally, it was found that Value-oriented Storytelling also has an indirect effect on Tourist Loyalty through Destination Image and Customer Satisfaction, highlighting the importance of storytelling in destination marketing strategies. The limitations of this study include its specific focus on North Konawe and its short-term perspective. Future research is recommended to expand the sample size and use a longitudinal approach to explore the long-term impact of Value-oriented Storytelling on Tourist Loyalty
THE HUNS IN SCANDINAVIA: A NEW APPROACH CENTERED AROUND MODERN DNA
Authors:   Stockholm, Sweden, Högström Karl
Published: September 2024

Abstract. Several scholars have in the past hypothesized a northward movement of Hunnic contingents which ultimately reached Scandinavia on the basis of archaeological and philological evidence, an event which should be detectable in both ancient and modern DNA if true. Here I report that when analyzing a combination of ancient and modern DNA samples from across Eurasia one can detect a westward movement from the Altai-Sayan region to Europe which ultimately reached southern Sweden, and also accurately date this migration event to the 4th and 5th centuries CE with the help of carbon-14 dating and estimated TMRCAs of certain Y-DNA lineages. It is possible to identify these individuals and groups as Huns by analyzing their Y-chromosomal and autosomal DNA in combination with burial context. The significance and implications of this become clear when looking at the philological evidence which suggests that the Huns had a formative and lasting impact on the development of the peoples, cultures and beliefs of Scandinavia Keywords: Attila, Huns, Scythians, Y-DNA, Xiongnu

A terapia intravenosa é um recurso utilizado em diversos setores dos serviços de saúde, sendo o acesso venoso utilizado na infusão de fluidos ou medicamentos. Um dos tipos de cateter utilizado, é o central, inserido em veias centrais através de dispositivos que alcance a veia cava superior ou inferior. O Cateter Central de Inserção Periférica (PICC), é um tipo de dispositivo intravenoso parcialmente implantado, geralmente utilizado no acesso venoso central de crianças e adolescentes, devido a necessidade da reposição volêmica, e administração de medicamentos por via endovenosa. O estudo tem como objetivo, identificar possíveis complicações que podem ocorrer durante o uso do PICC em recém-nascidos na UTI neonatal. Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa de literatura, de caráter exploratório descritivo, realizada a partir da busca de dados na BVS. Foram selecionadas 9 publicações que respondiam a questão norteadora e atendiam aos critérios necessários. Os artigos foram analisados de acordo semelhança de conteúdo, relacionado ao objetivo, onde foi possível subdividir em três categorias: Características sociodemográficas e principais indicações de uso do PICC na UTI Neonatal; Complicações decorrentes do uso e a necessidade de remoção do PICC em recém-nascidos na UTI Neonatal;  Tipo de cateter, profissional habilitado para inserção e local escolhido. Os estudos mostraram que as complicações obstrução, flebite, ruptura, infiltração/extravasamento, foram as mais prevalentes devido ao uso do PICC na UTI neonatal. No entanto, apesar de existirem complicações com seu uso, o fator de retirada mais predominante foi o término de terapia.
Fyrkantifieringen av handeln
Authors: Hagberg Johan , Normark Daniel
Published: September 2024

This article addresses the squarification of Swedish retailing in the 1960- and 1970’s through an analysis of a Swedish packaging magazine. Starting with the geometric shape (round, triangular or square) of and corresponding cell (cuboids, cubes, cones, pyramids or cylinders) of milk packages we analyze how the square shape gradually became dominant. The transformation was not limited to the package itself, but included products, store layouts, handling equipment, staff, consumers and consumption as well as the transport of goods from the store to the home. Thus, these changes lead to an pervasive transformation of retailing and consumption from round to square, a development that probably has not yet ended.

Contemporary consumption generates mobility and even though recent understandings of consumption have moved beyond moments of purchase, it has also become complicated to discuss spatiality and mobility. This article builds on semi-structured qualitative interviews and “go-along observations” of families with small children and develops an argument that the consequences of people moving purchases are paramount for understanding (un)sustainable urban life and possibilities for systemic transition towards a more sustainable consumer culture.
Museet – en fristad för tvärvetenskaplig forskning eller lågprisakademi?
Authors: Nyblom Andreas
Published: September 2024

Most scholars within the humanities not employed at a university or university college, are engaged as researchers at museums, archives or libraries. Due to their wide-ranging collections of empirical data and the persistent lack of truly interdisciplinary departments at Swedish universities, these institutions have great potential to serve as locations for innovative cultural research. However, although it is generally agreed that there can be no significant difference in quality between research at universities and research at other institutions, research units at museums, archives and libraries currently lack equivalent resources for critical assessment as well as access to full text data bases. In order to live on as research units and to comply with the standards of university based research, the institutions need to seek collaboration with universities and university libraries.
Clown eller konsult?

Published: September 2024

The article is a personal account of the author’s experience of teaching at both an arts and a business school, and of sometimes bringing the arts and the business students together in the classroom. Some times the outcomes are rather predictable, as when the artists look more inside and towards the future, while the business students tend to look more out side and towards the past. Other times the results are less in line with what politicians and others might believe, as when it is the business students that learn entrepreneurial thinking from the artists, and not necessarily the other way around.

Authors: Петровська О. М. , Нечаєв А. Ю.
Published: September 2024

Стаття присвячена дослідженню того, як перехід до зеленої економіки може стати потужним інструментом для подолання економічних проблем та створення нових робочих місць в Україні. Зелена економіка, яка спрямована на зниження впливу на довкілля, раціональне використання природних ресурсів та впровадження екологічно безпечних технологій, відкриває нові можливості для економічного зростання. Автори аналізують перспективи та виклики, з якими стикається Україна на шляху до створення зелених робочих місць, і обґрунтовують необхідність такого переходу для досягнення сталого економічного і соціального розвитку. Зокрема, розглядаються ключові сектори, де може бути зосереджено зусилля для створення зелених робочих місць, такі як відновлювана енергетика, екологічний транспорт, ефективне управління відходами, сільське господарство, що зберігає ресурси, та інші. Важливим аспектом є підготовка кадрів до нових вимог ринку праці, що включає перепідготовку та навчання новим навичкам, необхідним для роботи в умовах зеленої економіки. Автори також звертають увагу на бар'єри, що стоять на шляху до цього переходу, такі як нестача інвестицій, низький рівень обізнаності та відсутність політичної підтримки. Водночас, наголошується на важливості створення стимулюючих умов, зокрема податкових пільг, грантів на екологічні інновації та підтримки малого і середнього бізнесу, який впроваджує зелені технології. У статті підкреслюється, що перехід до зеленої економіки не тільки сприятиме зменшенню екологічного навантаження, але й стане рушійною силою для розвитку нових індустрій, підвищення енергоефективності та створення стабільних робочих місць. Перехід до зеленої економіки є необхідним кроком для забезпечення довгострокового економічного зростання та підвищення якості життя населення. Автори пропонують конкретні рекомендації для уряду, бізнесу та громадянського суспільства щодо підтримки цього переходу, наголошуючи на необхідності міжсекторальної співпраці та інтеграції екологічних принципів у всі сфери економічної діяльності.

The study delves into how regulated derivatives trading influences economic growth across 21 countries, spanning from 1995 to 2022, encompassing major economies like the USA, UK, India, Brazil, Canada, and Australia. While derivatives markets are often linked with the 2008 financial crisis, our research explores their potential to positively impact the economy through various pathways detailed in the paper. Employing a dynamic panel data model (GMM) mitigates potential endogeneity concerns. Our findings reveal notable insights: we identify a positive association between the expansion of regulated derivatives trading and economic growth, evident in both percentage change and per capita GDP. Additionally, inflation shows a negative correlation with economic growth, while trade openness and fertility rates exhibit positive correlations.

Community leaders in Thailand play an important role in preventing and controlling infectious diseases, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. Hence, risk perception and adequate health literacy among these leaders influence the population. This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the relationships among health literacy, risk perception factors, and the implementation of COVID-19 prevention and control. A self-administered structured questionnaire was administered to 1,338 community leaders in northeast Thailand to assess the level of implementation of COVID-19 prevention and control measures. Multiple logistic regression was performed to identify the influence of risk perceptions and health literacy on the prevention and control of COVID-19. Approximately 64% of the sample was male, and the participants had an average age of 50.51 ± 8.47 years. The factors associated with moderate and high levels of COVID-19 prevention and control among community leaders were moderate and high levels of perceived susceptibility (adjusted odds ratio [ORadj] = 3.01; 95% CI: 2.13–4.25; p-value < 0.001) and perceived severity (ORadj = 1.73; 95% CI: 1.22–2.45; p-value = 0.023) as well as adequate access (ORadj = 1.56; 95% CI: 1.08–2.25; p-value < 0.001) and adequate understanding (ORadj = 2.29; 95% CI: 1.34–3.93; p-value < 0.001), with a level of statistical significance of 0.05. The incorporation of health literacy and risk perception, especially in dimensions such as access, understanding, perceived susceptibility, and perceived severity, is essential for leaders to possess strong skills in community health development, particularly during crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic.

Mobile health (mHealth) literacy refers to the ability of individuals to seek, find, understand, and evaluate health information accessed via mobile devices. In Thailand, an assessment of mobile health literacy among the working-age population (25-59 years old) across the country is still needed to gain a better understanding of the current landscape of this concept as well as to create strategies for improvement. As a result, this study aimed 1) to assess mHealth literacy among the Thai working-age population, 2) to investigate differences in mHealth literacy among the Thai working-age population classified by demographic variables, and 3) to identify the predictive factors affecting mHealth literacy among the Thai working-age population. Cross-sectional survey research was conducted in this study with samples consisting of 600 working-age individuals derived from six regions across the country. Respondents were randomly selected using a multi-stage sampling method. Data were collected by a self-administered questionnaire. Mean, SD, t-test, One-Way ANOVA, and multiple regression analysis [MRA] were used for data analysis at a .05 level of significance. The results found that 1) the samples showed a high level of mHealth literacy (Mean = 4.32, SD = 0.58) 2), differences in mHealth literacy level were classified by gender, age, income, education, and region, and 3) perceived behavioral control, attitudes, and subjective norms were factors significantly affecting mHealth literacy. These findings can be used to plan and develop strategies for improving mHealth literacy among the Thai working-age population more effectively.
