Authors: Milton Alyssa Clare , Mengesha Zelalem , Ballesteros Kristin , McClean Tom , Hartog Saskia , Bray-Rudkin Lucie , Ngo Cathy , Hickie Ian
Published: July 2023

Background

School-age care, such as outside school hours care (OSHC), is the fastest-growing childhood education sector in Australia. OSHC provides a unique opportunity to deliver programs to enhance primary school–age children’s social, emotional, physical, and cognitive well-being.

Objective

This study aimed to pilot the co-designed Connect, Promote, and Protect Program (CP3) and conduct formative and process evaluations on how well the CP3 achieved its intended aims, ascertain areas for improvement, and determine how the CP3 model could be better sustained and extended into OSHC settings.

Methods

A naturalistic formative and process evaluation of the CP3 implementation was undertaken at 1 and then 5 OSHC sites. Qualitative and quantitative feedback from stakeholders (eg, children, OSHC educators, volunteers, and families) was collected and incorporated iteratively for program improvement.

Results

The formative and process evaluations demonstrated high program engagement, appropriateness, and acceptability. Co-design with children was viewed as highly acceptable and empowered children to be part of the decision-making in OSHC. Feedback highlighted how the CP3 supported children in the 4 CP3 domains: Build Well-being and Resilience, Broaden Horizons, Inspire and Engage, and Connect Communities. Qualitative reports suggested that children’s well-being and resilience were indirectly supported through the Broaden Horizons, Inspire and Engage, and Connect Communities CP3 principles. Matched-sample 2-tailed t tests found that children’s prosocial behaviors increased (mean difference=0.64; P=.04; t57=−2.06, 95% CI −1.36 to −0.02) and peer problems decreased (mean difference=−0.69; P=.01; t57=2.57, 95% CI 0.14-1.13) after participating in the CP3. Program feasibility was high but dependent on additional resources and CP3 coordinator support.

Conclusions

To our knowledge, the CP3 is the first co-designed well-being program developed and evaluated specifically for OSHC services. This early evidence is promising. The CP3 may provide a unique opportunity to respond to the voices of children in OSHC and those that support them through creative and engaging co-designed activities. Our research suggests that CP3 provides OSHC with a framework and high-quality program planning tool that promotes tailored interventions developed based on the unique needs and preferences of those who will use them.

Authors: Hsu Hsing-Yu , Hsu Kai-Cheng , Hou Shih-Yen , Wu Ching-Lung , Hsieh Yow-Wen , Cheng Yih-Dih
Published: July 2023

Background

Since OpenAI released ChatGPT, with its strong capability in handling natural tasks and its user-friendly interface, it has garnered significant attention.

Objective

A prospective analysis is required to evaluate the accuracy and appropriateness of medication consultation responses generated by ChatGPT.

Methods

A prospective cross-sectional study was conducted by the pharmacy department of a medical center in Taiwan. The test data set comprised retrospective medication consultation questions collected from February 1, 2023, to February 28, 2023, along with common questions about drug-herb interactions. Two distinct sets of questions were tested: real-world medication consultation questions and common questions about interactions between traditional Chinese and Western medicines. We used the conventional double-review mechanism. The appropriateness of each response from ChatGPT was assessed by 2 experienced pharmacists. In the event of a discrepancy between the assessments, a third pharmacist stepped in to make the final decision.

Results

Of 293 real-world medication consultation questions, a random selection of 80 was used to evaluate ChatGPT’s performance. ChatGPT exhibited a higher appropriateness rate in responding to public medication consultation questions compared to those asked by health care providers in a hospital setting (31/51, 61% vs 20/51, 39%; P=.01).

Conclusions

The findings from this study suggest that ChatGPT could potentially be used for answering basic medication consultation questions. Our analysis of the erroneous information allowed us to identify potential medical risks associated with certain questions; this problem deserves our close attention.

One of the datasets used to predict heart disease is UCI dataset. unfortunately, the dataset contains missing data. the missing data dramatically affects the performance of the backpropagation classification method. One of the techniques used to handle missing data is feature selection. This study compares the ReliefF and the C4.5 algorithm in feature selection to handle missing data. The results of these algorithms are applied to the classification of heart disease using the Backpropagation. The results will be measured based on accuracy, precision, and recall. The performance results of the ReliefF and Backpropagation are an accuracy of 82.653%, a precision of 82.7%, and a recall of 82.7%. The performance results of the C4.5 and backpropagation are an accuracy of 80.61%, a precision of 80.4%, and a recall of 80.6%. Based on the results it can be concluded that the ReliefF gives better performance results on backpropagation than the performance results of the C4.5. Although, the results of C4.5 are below ReliefF but the results are quite satisfactory because of the accuracy, precision and recall results obtained above 80%. This shows that ReliefF and C4.5 can select features that affect the UCI heart disease patient dataset.

The study investigated the influence of level of motivation and job satisfaction on the level of turnover intention of academic staff in private universities in Southwestern Nigeria. The descriptive design method was employed and multi-stage sampling technique was adopted for the study. One thousand four hundred and seventy three academic staff participated in the study. The participants were drawn from 8 private universities randomly selected from 4 states which were randomly sampled from 6 states in Southwestern geo-political zone. Research questions were analysed using frequency counts, percentages, mean and standard deviation and multiple regression was used to analyse the hypothesis. The results revealed low level of motivation and job satisfaction as well as high level of turnover intention of academic staff in private universities in Southwestern Nigeria. Results also indicated a significant influence of the level of motivation and job satisfaction on the level of turnover intention of academic staff in private universities in Southwestern Nigeria. This means that 12% of the total variance in turnover intention of academic staff in private universities in Southwestern Nigeria is attributed to the influence of the level of motivation and job satisfaction. This indicates that the independent variables (motivation level and job satisfaction level) and the dependent variable (turnover intention level) have linear and significant relationship.
A Corpus-Based Analysis of Pauses in Chinese-English Consecutive Interpreting of Chinese English Majors
Authors: Qin Wenxinxin
Published: July 2023

This study aims to investigate pause characteristics and probe into the main reason for unnatural pauses in Chinese-English consecutive interpreting. The data were from the Parallel Corpus of Chinese EFL Learners-Spoken (PACCEL-S), which includes phonetic materials in the interpretation part of TEM-8. Forty interpreters were divided into four groups according to their scores and gender. Their recordings and transcribed texts were annotated and analyzed to provide a comprehensive overview of pausing. The findings are: (1) Pauses often occur in C-E CI. Interpreters use more UPs and unnatural pauses. (2) There is no interaction between proficiency and gender in pause duration and frequency, as well as the two indicators of unnatural pauses. (3) UP duration is affected by proficiency, and females tend to produce more FPs and unnatural pauses. (4) FP and UP invariably occur together but do not show linear correlation. (5) Interpreters tend to pause before content words, and unnatural pauses are mainly induced by notional word retrieval difficulty. By discussing pauses and explaining the leading motivation for unnatural pauses from the perspective of lexical retrieval, this study informs readers of the nature and features of pauses and provides suggestions for stakeholders.

Authors: Huang Guangxing , Wang Ruei-Yuan
Published: July 2023

Exploring the impact of Land Use/Cover Change (LUCC) on ecosystem carbon storage is of great significance for promoting low-carbon development. Based on the land cover data from 2000 to 2020 interpreted by remote sensing, this study uses the InVEST model to analyze the relationship between the spatial and temporal changes of carbon storage in the ecosystem of Zhaoqing City and land cover. The results show that: 1) In the past 20 years, the area of land cover types in Zhaoqing City has not changed much; the area of cultivated land, forest land, and grassland has decreased; and the area of water area, construction land, and unused land has increased. 2) The carbon storage volume in 2000, 2010, and 2020 were 296.74×106t, 297.00×106t, and 290.50×106t, respectively. Carbon storage increased at first and then decreased, showing an overall downward trend. 3) High carbon reserves are distributed in the central and northern mountainous areas of Zhaoqing City; medium carbon reserves are distributed in the western basin of Huaiji County; and low carbon reserves are distributed in the southern area of Zhaoqing. 4) From 2000 to 2010, the conversion between forest and grassland resulted in relatively stable carbon storage and an increase of 201,200 tons. The conversion of forest land and cultivated land into construction land and water has reduced carbon storage by 6.5745 million tons.
Phishing Website Prediction Using Gradient Boosting Classifier
Authors: Prasad Dr. M , M Ansifa Kouser
Published: July 2023

Abstract: Phishing is a widespread tactic used to trick gullible people into disclosing their personal information by using bogus websites. Phishing website URLs are designed to steal personal data, including user names, passwords, and online financial activities. Phishers employ websites that resemble those genuine websites both aesthetically and linguistically. Utilizing antiphishing methods to identify phishing is necessary to stop the rapid advancement of phishing techniques as a result of advancing technology. A strong tool for thwarting phishing assaults is machine learning. Attackers frequently use phishing because it is simpler to fool a victim into clicking a malicious link that looks authentic than to try to get past a computer's security measures. The malicious links within the message body are intended to appear to go to the spoofed company utilising that company's logos and other genuine information. In the method that is being presented, machine learning is used to create a revolutionary approach for detecting phishing websites. Gradient Boosting Classifier is the model we utilised in our suggested strategy to identify phishing websites based on aspects of URL significance. By extracting and comparing different characteristics between legitimate and phishing URLs, the suggested method uses gradient boosting classifier to identify phishing URLs. The studies' findings demonstrate that the suggested approach successfully identifies legitimate websites from bogus ones in real time.

Sources of Social Power, Varieties of Capital, and Types of Stratification: the Heuristic Potential of Multivariate Macroanalysis of Social Conflict
Authors: Protsenko N. N.
Published: July 2023

This article sketches out a multifactorial approach to the analysis of social conflict, based primarily on studies by Max Weber and prominent contemporary historical macrosociologists such as Michael Mann, Richard Lachman, and Ivan Szelenyi. The approach offers opportunities to bridge the gap between two key strands of the sociological tradition of conflict — Marxist and Weberian. It is argued that they do not exclude each other but work on the principle of complementarity, operating on a similar set of terms (primarily class and capital) and reducing the diversity of social phenomena to a common ground — conflict. Michael Mann’s theory of sources of social power, to which the first part of the article is devoted, warns against the fundamental one-sidedness of interpreting any conflict related to power (any conflict falling within the perimeter of macrosociology can be classified as such) exclusively as political, economic, ideological, or military. A complete description of such a conflict requires engaging all four of these aspects of social power, even if some of them do not manifest themselves sufficiently in a particular conflict. The approaches outlined in the second part of the article to the analysis of its direct participants — social classes with their resources (capital in its various forms), which ultimately determine the specific configuration of inequality — the driving force of any conflict— are based on this initial marking of the conflict field. Such a comprehensive approach allows us to overcome the dogmatism of Marxist schemes without abandoning the theoretical legacy of Marxism: the reinterpretation of its key terms in the Weberian paradigm thus enriches the sociological tradition of conflict, forming the necessary kaleidoscopic view of this social phenomenon.
Transformations of the Political Imaginary in Post-Soviet Central Asia: The Cases of Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan
Authors: Malakhov V. S. , Bagdasarova N. A. , Ibraeva G. K. , Olimiva S. K.
Published: July 2023

The paper examines the structure and dynamics of the political imaginary of the two countries of post-Soviet Central Asia - Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan. As the authors show, Russia has a special place in this structure. For a long time, many ordinary citizens of these states did not perceive Russia as a foreign state on an equal footing with others. This perception was due to a number of factors, the most important of which was Soviet institutional and psychological inertia. At the institutional level, Soviet inertia was expressed primarily in the transparency of the borders between Russia and the Central Asian countries. On a psychological level, it manifested itself in nostalgia for the Soviet past. It was the overlapping of soviet nostalgia with the understanding of the importance of migration to Russia for the material well-being of households that gave rise to a high level of loyalty to Moscow. Recently, however, the Russian Federation has started to gradually become a foreign state among others in the eyes of ordinary residents of Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan. In the minds of people, Russia still has a specific status, but this specificity is increasingly seen in a global context; in this context, other actors along with Moscow matter (Beijing and Washington, as well as Istanbul and Tehran). The process of turning Russia into an ordinary “abroad” was going on before, but it accelerated sharply after February 24, 2022. The authors identify signs of distancing from Russia both at the level of the ruling elites and at the level of civil society. Among these signs are, in particular, the desire of governments to demonstrate a multi-vector foreign policy, a change in the public rhetoric of top officials, as well as manifestations of anti-Russian sentiment in the public sphere of Kyrgyzstan.
‘The Level of Fears Is off the Scale!’: Triggers of Urban Conflicts in the Context of Municipal Management (Novosibirsk Case Study)
Authors: Skalaban I. A. , Lobanov Yu. S. , Sergeeva Z. N. , Volchenko S. Y.
Published: July 2023

This article represents a comprehensive study of transition peculiarities from a latent stage to the open demonstration of conflict, drawing on the concepts of base trigger, trigger situation, and crucial episode (L. Boltanski, L. Thévenot). The trigger situations of urban conflicts were studied on the broad empirical material of the Novosibirsk urban agglomeration over the last decade. The research authors created a geoinformation database containing a structured description of more than two hundred cases of urban conflict. The trigger is presented as a complex mechanism that contributes to the aggravation of tension (risk trigger) or the manifestation and/or escalation of conflict, which can be launched only when the addressee perceives the situation of change initiated by the addresser as a threat — which, in turn, creates the conditions for changing of actions, order of involvement and register. This opens up opportunities for influencing and managing the situation of change. A morphological analysis of triggers of the unfolding conflict made it possible to identify several groups determined by investment, institutional, normative, and value regulations. In a modern actively changing city, the investment-type trigger was empirically shown to be the most conflict-generating, with the first steps of project publicizing and proclamation having the greatest trigger potential. However, an analysis of the relationship between the nature of the trigger and the outcome of the conflict showed that conflicts caused in particular by the investment-type triggers have a higher probability of settlement. As a rule, private investors are more flexible in meeting the demands of the protesters than the authorities, especially if the investors do not rely on the unconditional support of the authorities. This does not negate the important issue of the poor quality of decision-making in conflict regulation. Just a few conflict actors aim to fix the balance, which is why only a small part of the conflicts ends with the search for a compromise; mostly the conflicts end with a complete victory of one of the parties or the cancellation of the project in favor of the protesters.

The Archaeology of Urban Conflict: From Plato to Henri Lefebvre
Authors: Karchagin E. V.
Published: July 2023

The article provides an analysis of the Western tradition related to the problem of conflict in the urban context. It analyzes problems of urban justice based on the topization associated with Plato's political philosophy. The article substantiates the naturalness of the state of war and conflict in the urban environment. The city is shown as a primary political field, a primordial political locus, within which civil conflict is embedded. According to Plato, conflict permeates not only poleis, but also individuals, households and villages. The cure for this all-encompassing war is the correct organization of the conflicting parts based on justice, since it represents a state of realized universal good based on the ideal of integrity. As N. Loraux's historical and anthropological research has shown, the oath and the establishment of a citywide fest serve as auxiliary cultural mechanisms for overcoming urban conflict. The intermediate link of the chain of ideas is the political philosophy of Thomas Hobbes, in which the political is taken out of the city, but the city continues to be potentially conflictual. Henry Lefebvre is shown as an unobvious heir of Plato in urban theory. The concept of the right to the city, which is still relevant today, turns out to be closely related to political aesthetics. Residents of the city are opposed to the mobile elite, who do not actually inhabit the city, but have full rights to it. The city is understood as an oevre, while genuine urban life can be created only by the practical collective effort of citizens and is expressed in the form of a Fest, an absolute event that excludes the coercion of capitalist logic. Contemporary academic discussions are characterized by tension between discursive (S. Feinstein) and practical (D. Harvey) understandings of justice in the city.
The Concepts of Violence and Peace in Feminist Critiques of War
Authors: Chaganova D. N.
Published: July 2023

The paper reviews the main concepts and methodological approaches of feminist peace and conflict theory. It reproduces and analyzes the arguments of feminist war critique, and critically relates them to the general theoretical assumptions of the sociology of conflict. The following spheres of feminist war critique are considered in their intersection with sociology of conflict: feminist international relations theory, feminist peace research, peace activism, and peace education. Moreover, the paper shows that there is an intellectual intersection of the feminist prism and R. Collins’ project of micro- and macrosociology. It is argued that the level of awareness of the feminist tradition of conflict in Russian social studies is insufficient at the disciplinary level. The concepts of gender, everyday violence, and positive peace are introduced; their roles are investigated in the feminist war critique. Gender is considered a social and symbolic construct that both creates and is created by the social relations of power. Gender inequality in power, in its turn, produces various forms of violence (physical, sexual, financial, psychological, and social). Other structures of marginalization — race, class, sexuality, physical/mental (dis)abilities — are also taken into consideration. The continuity of the different forms of violence, as posed in the feminist war critique, is problematized: global and regional conflicts are seen as an extension of those diverse forms of violence that flourish during everyday social interactions. Thus, through the problematization of the “continuum of violence”, the paper conceptualizes the trend of feminist research (tracing the connection between everyday social interactions and global conflicts) as a common task of conflict sociology. The essay is intended to highlight the potential of both conceptual and methodological interchange between feminist war critique and conflict sociology.

Objectives: As food waste harms the sustainable environment and the economy, some innovations have been made to reduce this issue, such as intelligent packaging. However, the factors leading to consumer behavior to reduce food waste and buy intelligent packaging, particularly in developing countries are still untapped.Methodology: This study aims to examine the relationship between green perceived value, intention to reduce food waste, and willingness to purchase intelligent packaging. Data from 230 Indonesian young consumers were analyzed using PLS-SEM.Finding: The results showed that different elements of green perceived value had significant effects on the intention to reduce food waste and willingness to purchase intelligent packaging. Unlike the predicted relationship, the intention to reduce food waste was not significant enough to lead consumers to purchase intelligent packaging.Conclusion: The presented study gives insights to businesspeople on which green perceived values are important for reducing food waste and encouraging consumers to buy intelligent packaging.

Objectives: This study aims to analyze decisions as a mediating factor of website quality, e-promotion, and e-trust on the e-repurchase intention at Shopee online shop. An important occurrence to be studied during the pandemic is the phenomenon of online shopping behavior. Methodology: The analysis method used in this study is a quantitative approach with the PLS-SEM data analysis method because it is predictive and able to produce a model with a good test level. The population of this research are consumers in Jakarta through the selection of purposive sampling. The sample obtained according to the criteria is 262 respondents who are accepted and eligible for testing.Finding: Online shopping decisions affect repurchase intentions while website quality does not but decision acts as a mediator. Promotion does not affect the decision and repurchase intention and decisions do not act as a mediator. Trust affects decisions and repurchase intentions, and decisions can act as mediators, although trust has a stronger influence on repurchase intentions directly. Conclusion: Decisions give the best role in intervening with website quality and repurchase intentions, but directly website quality does not result in the repurchase. Although the decision does not provide the best role as a promotional mediator with direct or indirect repurchase intentions. In contrast, decisions as a trusted mediator ensure the occurrence of very strong repurchase intentions either directly or indirectly. In addition, this model contributes to e-commerce players, information system developers, and managers as a consideration in implementing strategic decision-making. The differences in the findings and shortcomings of this study are gaps that will become an important study in the context of online shopping behavior, especially the study of promotion which is inversely related to trust and research phenomena

Research has been carried out on the bioabsorption of lead (Pb) using durian skin biomass (Durio zibethinus) which has been activated using an H2SO4 activator. The durian skin sample used was durian skin from Central Sulawesi. The processing technique to remove lead (Pb) from liquid waste was carried out by an adsorption process. The adsorption process is an effective purification and separation technique used in industry because it is more economical and simple in treating wastewater and is a technique that is often used to reduce metal ions in wastewater. This study aims to determine the mass and contact time of the adsorption of Pb by durian skin biomass. Determination of the adsorbed metal used atomic absorption spectrophotometry (AAS). The results obtained showed that the optimal Pb ion adsorption occurred at a weight of 2.5 grams with an absorption capacity of 99.94 %. While the optimal Pb ion adsorption occurred at a contact time of 40 minutes with an absorption capacity of 99.94 %

CEO duality, CEO compensation, and earnings management: Evidence from China
Authors: Bao Jingjing , Xue Chunxiao
Published: July 2023

This paper investigates whether chief executive officer (CEO) duality and CEO compensation influence earnings management. We obtain the data of the A-shares companies listed in both the Shanghai Stock Exchange (SSE) and Shenzhen Stock Exchange (SZSE) from the Chinese Securities Market and Accounting Research (CSMAR) database. Using a sample of 8,419 firm-year observations of 881 unique listed companies in China from 2011–2022, we find that the firms with CEO duality exhibit a higher level of earnings management, through both discretionary accruals and real activities. In addition, CEOs with higher cash-based compensation are more likely to engage in earnings management, while CEOs with higher equity-based incentives are less likely to engage in real earnings management. We further examine the moderating role of CEO duality and find that CEOs who also chair the board are more likely to engage in real earnings management. Additional analysis shows that state-owned companies are less likely to engage in earnings management activities. However, equity-based compensation provides incremental incentives for the CEOs of state-owned companies to manage earnings through accruals rather than real activities.
