Published: May 2024

Health care management system financing plays a vital role in ensuring the availability and accessibility of quality health care services. However, numerous challenges and constraints exist that can hinder the effective financing and sustainability of health care systems. Understanding and addressing these challenges is essential for improving health care financing mechanisms and achieving better health outcomes (124, 125) Healthcare systems in suffer from neglect and underfunding, leading to severe challenges across the six World Health Organization (WHO) pillars of healthcare delivery. We conducted this study to identify the principal challenges in the health sector in and their solutions for evidence-based decisions, policy development and program prioritization Insufficient Funding Allocation: One of the primary challenges in health care management system financing is the inadequate allocation of funds. Limited financial resources can restrict the availability of essential health care services, compromise service quality, and undermine the overall functioning of the health care system. Insufficient funding allocation hampers infrastructure development, workforce capacity building, and the procurement of medical supplies and equipment (126).

Most quantifiers have many meanings
Authors: Ramotowska Sonia , Haaf Julia , Van Maanen Leendert , Szymanik Jakub
Published: May 2024

In this paper, we investigate, by means of a computational model, how individuals map quantifiers onto numbers and how they order quantifiers on a mental line. We selected five English quantifiers (few, fewer than half, many, more than half, and most) which differ in truth conditions and vagueness. We collected binary truth value judgment data in an online quantifier verification experiment. Using a Bayesian three-parameter logistic regression model, we separated three sources of individual differences: truth condition, vagueness, and response error. Clustering on one of the model’s parameter that corresponds to truth conditions revealed four subgroups of participants with different quantifier-to-number mappings and different ranges of the mental line of quantifiers. Our findings suggest multiple sources of individual differences in semantic representations of quantifiers and support a conceptual distinction between different types of imprecision in quantifier meanings. We discuss the consequence of our findings for the main theoretical approaches to quantifiers: the bivalent truth-conditional approach and the fuzzy logic approach. We argue that the former approach neither can explain inter-individual differences nor intra-individual differences in truth conditions of vague quantifiers. The latter approach requires further specification to fully account for individual differences demonstrated in this study.
Adaptive forgetting speed in working memory
Authors: de Jong Joost , Wilhelm Sophia , Akyürek Elkan G.
Published: May 2024

Working memory is known to be capacity-limited and is therefore selective not only for what it encodes but also what it forgets. Explicit forgetting cues can be used effectively to free up capacity, but it is not clear how working memory adaptively forgets in the absence of explicit cues. An important implicit cue that may tune forgetting in working memory is the passage of time. When information becomes irrelevant more quickly, working memory should also forget information more quickly. In three delayed-estimation experiments, we systematically manipulated how probing probability changed as time passed on after encoding an item (i.e., the “probing hazard”). In some blocks, probing hazard decreased after encoding an item, requiring participants to only briefly retain the memory item. In other blocks, the probing hazard increased or stayed flat, as the retention interval was lengthened. In line with our hypothesis, we found that participants adapted their forgetting rate to the probing dynamics of the working memory task. When the memory item quickly became irrelevant (“decreasing” probing hazard), forgetting rate was higher than in blocks where probing hazard increased or stayed flat. The time course of these adaptations in forgetting implies a fast and flexible mechanism. Interestingly, participants could not explicitly report the order of conditions, suggesting forgetting is implicitly sped up. These findings suggest that implicit adaptations to the temporal structure of our environment tune forgetting speed in working memory, possibly contributing to the flexible allocation of limited working memory resources.

Published: May 2024

Nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) is the deliberate destruction of body tissue without suicidal intent. NSSI occurs a lot in adolescents. Bullying is the most common factor in adolescents who commit NSSI. The impact of other than NSSI on adolescent bullying victims is psychological distress. Previous research stated that psychological distress can cause NSSI behavior needs to be mediated by a variable, one of the variables that can be related is rumination. This study aims to determine the role of rumination as a mediator of the relationship between psychological distress and NSSI behavior in adolescent bullying victims. The study design is non-experimental. Participants were adolescents aged 16–21 years, experienced bullying, self-harm within 12 months (n=60). The sampling technique used is non probability sampling. The instrument of this study was K10 for psychological distress (α=.86). Ruminative Response Scale (RRS) for rumination (α=.75) and Inventory of Statement About Self Injury (ISAS) for NSSI behavior (α=.83). Results showed that rumination does not mediate the relationship of distress and NSSI in adolescent victims of bullying. However, psychological distress correlated and have a role in the emerge of rumination and NSSI in adolescent bullying victims. ANNOVA test showed that distress, rumination and NNSI were highest in participants with a high frequency of bullying. Therefore, it is important to intervene reduce psychological distress in adolescents and take preventive action and education related to the impact of bullying.

The aim of the research was to examine the implementation of empowerment, level of independence, and empowerment in achieving independence of women farmers at TPK Citere KPBS Pangalengan. This research used a case study method with a qualitative approach. The variables observed included the empowerment of female farmers, covering cognitive, affective, and psychomotor aspects. Other variables observed were the independence of female farmers, including decision-making, creativity, and problem-solving skills. Informants were purposively selected, consisting of the extension worker coordinator, extension agents in the TPK Citere working area, and female farmers. The results of this research indicate that the empowerment carried out by KPBS Pangalengan is quite good. This is evidenced by the good cognitive and affective aspects possessed by female farmers, except for the psychomotor aspect. The independence of female farmers in TPK Citere is quite good, indicating potential independence because of their ability to make decisions, think creatively, and solve problems related to the material provided in the empowerment program by KPBS Pangalengan. Empowerment of female farmers sufficiently supports achieving independence as it can influence the mindset of female farmers in achieving independence in their farming business. With empowerment, female farmers can continue their efforts by utilizing all the abilities they have to continue experiencing development.

Published: May 2024

The purpose of this study was to investigate the dual mediating effects of social withdrawal and achievement motivation on relationship between parent’s neglecting attitude and school dropout intention of multicultural adolescents. To achieve this, the dual mediating analysis was conducted on 1,197 multicultural adolescents using 8th year of Multicultural Adolescents Panel Study(MAPS) data collected by the National Youth Policy institute. The results were as followed. First, parent’s neglecting attitude has directly a positive effect on school dropout intention among multicultural adolescents. Second, higher levels of parent’s neglecting attitude are associated with higher levels of social withdrawal, which, in turn, are associated with higher levels of school dropout intention. Third, higher levels of parent’s neglecting attitude are associated with lower levels of achievement motivation, which, in turn, are associated with higher levels of school dropout intention. Fourth, parent’s neglecting attitude has an indirect effect on school dropout intention through social withdrawal and achievement motivation. Based on these results, practical strategies for preventing neglecting attitude and social withdrawal and improving achievement motivation are discussed to reduce school dropout among multicultural youths.
Young people’s deprived lives and crisis experiences in poor residential environments: Focusing on young people living in basements, rooftop rooms, and gosiwons
Authors:   The Korea Academy of Case Management, Kim Yun Min
Published: May 2024

This study focused on the experiences of young people living in basements, rooftop rooms, and gosiwons, which represent poor living environments. Based on this, the purpose is to suggest an approach to effectively solve the poor housing problem of young people by taking an in-depth approach to the meaning of home formed by poor residential environments, life in vulnerable housing, and crisis experiences. As a result of in-depth interviews with young people who have lived or are currently living in basement rooms, rooftop rooms, and gosiwons, home was a temporary place for young people, and the poor living environment was the price they had to pay to achieve their dreams, but it was a proof of survival that they survived and lived hard. In particular, the risk of poor housing environments was aggravated in crisis situations such as the COVID-19 pandemic and torrential rain, but the driving force in overcoming this situation was community values and solidarity, not housing support policies. Accordingly, it is necessary to supplement the contents of the housing survey to accurately understand the current situation of young people who are threatened in poor spaces, and to shift from a policy centered on loan support to reducing the burden of housing costs for happy housing and youth-safe housing, and expanding support targets. In addition, we propose expanding the scope of the youth housing support policy and forming a citizen participation monitoring group that can monitor and check the implementation of the youth housing support policy. Lastly, we propose building an online platform where young people can share their poor housing experiences and seek alternatives based on community values.

Authors:   The Korea Academy of Case Management, Kim Chang Yong , Lee Hyun Sim
Published: May 2024

This study conducted a case analysis based on the results of psychological counseling for an elderly person who felt suicidal at a senior welfare center in Seoul. Accordingly, through this study, we aim to prevent suicidal impulses by discovering cases where people feel suicidal impulses. As an analysis method, cases where counseling was conducted were analyzed using matrices and networks through family tree analysis of a systematic integrated model. A total of 9 sessions of psychological counseling were conducted for the case patient from March to July 2023. Five sessions of counseling were conducted for the case patient, two sessions of counseling for the case patient's wife, and two sessions of couple counseling. As a result of the analysis, the problems of the family of origin and vulnerable environmental factors that influenced the case patient's suicidal impulse were identified. The suicidal elderly person's primary caregiver changed from his or her family of origin, and there was a change in the dynamic environment that inevitably led to a very low self-esteem. Additionally, this provides the case patient with a vulnerable growth environment, resulting in the formation of unstable attachments and schemas that include excessive defense mechanisms and aggression. Based on the analysis results, it was proposed to select cases with vulnerabilities in the family of origin, provide regular psychological counseling to the elderly who are vulnerable to suicidal impulses, and develop and implement a suicide prevention program accordingly.

Published: May 2024

The reintegration of street children with their families in Harare, Zimbabwe, is a significant social issue that is characterised by numerous challenges. Therefore, this research paper aims to identify the challenges that hinder the successful reintegration of street children with their families in Harare, using the bioecological model as a theoretical lens. A qualitative research approach, underpinned by a phenomenological research design, was employed with a purposefully selected sample of ten social development officers who are directly involved in working with street children. Data was obtained through semi-structured interviews conducted with the social development officers. The data was analysed using thematic analysis. The findings revealed various challenges, such as rejection and discrimination, economic hardship, disintegrated family structures, and lack of trust. Based on the findings, the study recommends the need to strengthen and expand support services that offer counselling, mediation, and practical assistance to families and children to ensure an effective reintegration process. Additionally, the study recommends the implementation of programmes that focus on poverty alleviation and economic empowerment for families. Moreover, social development officers should be capacitated with dispute resolution and cognitive restructuring skills to change the thinking patterns of members of the original families. Developing and prioritising sensitisation programmes to raise awareness about the issues faced by reintegrated street children and their families is also recommended.

In this note, we generalize the notion of entropy for potentials in a relative full Monge-Ampère mass $\mathcal{E}(X, \theta, \phi)$, for a model potential $\phi$. We then investigate stability properties of this condition with respect to blow-ups and perturbation of the cohomology class. We also prove a Moser-Trudinger type inequality with general weight and we show that functions with finite entropy lie in a relative energy class $\mathcal{E}^{\frac{n}{n-1}}(X, \theta, \phi)$ (provided $n>1$), while they have the same singularities of $\phi$ when $n=1$.

The launch of JWST has ushered in a new era of high-precision infrared astronomy, allowing us to probe nearby white dwarfs for cold dust, exoplanets, and tidally heated exomoons. While previous searches for these exoplanets have successfully ruled out companions as small as 7–10 Jupiter masses (M
Jup), no instrument prior to JWST has been sensitive to the likely more common sub-Jovian-mass planets around white dwarfs. In this paper, we present the first multiband photometry (F560W, F770W, F1500W, F2100W) taken of WD 2149+021 with the Mid-Infrared Instrument on JWST. After a careful search for both resolved and unresolved planets, we do not identify any compelling candidates around WD 2149+021. Our analysis indicates that we are sensitive to companions as small as ∼0.5 M
Jup outwards of 1.″263 (28.3 au) and ∼1.0 M
Jup at the innermost working angle (0.″654, 14.7 au) at 3 Gyr with 5σ confidence, placing significant constraints on any undetected companions around this white dwarf. The results of these observations emphasize the exciting future of sub-Jovian planet detection limits by JWST, which can begin to constrain how often these planets survive their host stars' evolution.

Solving a multi-choice solid fractional multi objective transportation problem: involving the Newton divided difference interpolation approach
Authors: Joshi Vishwas Deep , Sharma Medha , Alsaud Huda
Published: May 2024

Multi-objective transportation problems (MOTPs) are mathematical optimization problems that involve simultaneously considering multiple, often conflicting objectives in transportation planning. Unlike traditional transportation problems, which typically focus on minimizing a single objective such as cost or distance, MOTPs aim to balance multiple objectives to find the optimal solution. These problems appear in various real-world applications such as logistics, supply chain management, and transportation, where decision-makers need to consider multiple criteria when designing transportation networks, routing vehicles, or scheduling deliveries. The primary challenge lies in the uncertainty in real-world transportation scenarios, where logistics involve factors beyond cost and distance. We investigated a multi-choice solid fractional multi-objective transportation problem (MCSF-MOTP) based on supply, demand, and conveyance capacity, where the coefficients of the objective functions were of the multi-choice type due to uncertainty. To address this uncertainty, the proposed model employed the Newton divided difference interpolation polynomial method, and the suitability of this model was validated through a numerical illustration employing a ranking approach.

Gender-based violence (GBV) poses a significant concern in the construction and natural resources industries, where women, due to lower social status and integration, are at heightened risk. This systematic review aimed to identify the prevalence and experience of GBV in the construction and natural resources industries. A systematic search across databases including PubMed, OVID, Scopus, Web of Science, and CINAHL was conducted. The Risk of Bias Instrument for Cross-sectional Surveys of Attitudes and Practices by McMaster University and the Critical Appraisal of Qualitative Studies by the Center for Evidence Based Medicine at the University of Oxford were used to assess the studies included in the review. Six articles were included after full-text analysis. GBV was reported in the construction, mining, urban forestry, and arboriculture sectors. Workplace GBV was measured differently across the studies, and all studies examined more than one form of GBV. The main forms of GBV discussed in these studies were discrimination, sexual harassment, and sexism. The studies provided some insight for demographic factors that may or may not be associated with GBV, such as age, region of work, and number of years working in the industry. The review also suggests that workplace GBV has a negative impact on mental health and well-being outcomes, such as higher levels of stress and lower job satisfaction. The current research has not established the effectiveness of interventions, tools, or policies in these workplaces. Thus, additional research should include intervention studies that aim to minimize or prevent GBV in male-dominated workplaces. The current study can bring awareness and acknowledgement towards GBV in the workplace and highlight the importance of addressing it as this review outlines the negative consequences of GBV on mental health and well-being in these male-dominated industries.
What influences mentors’ satisfaction with social work practical training in Slovenia?
Authors: Rape Žiberna Tamara , Žiberna Aleš
Published: May 2024

Practical training is essential while preparing for a career in social work. The quality of the practical training available depends on the providers, especially mentors in the field (also known as field mentors, instructors or field supervisors, hereafter referred as mentors). The satisfaction of a mentor is not only important for good mentoring but also for making them willing to mentor another social work student. Secondary quantitative data from the Centre of Practical Study at a Faculty of Social Work were obtained and analyzed using linear regression and structural models to answer the research question concerning what influences the satisfaction of mentors. The research showed that mentors are satisfied with the social work practice. Overall satisfaction rises with both the number of motives associated with the school and a better assessment of the student involved. Where satisfaction with elements of practice is an independent variable, overall satisfaction is best explained by satisfaction with the content of the practice, student motivation, self-initiative, and the mentor’s collaboration with the school. Understanding what makes mentors satisfied with a practical placement is important for improving the quality of practical training provided in social work. Satisfaction on a higher level can add to a mentor’s motivation to participate in the training of social work students. The sub-optimal (no financial and other compensation) system of mentoring in social work means that the factors to which social work schools in this area must pay attention are the content of the practice itself and the quality of the students.

Influence of E-Scaffolding in Problem-Based Learning on Students’ HOTS in Standing Wave
Authors: Muslimin Miftahuljannah , Supriyono Koes Handayanto  , Ismi Novita Sari
Published: May 2024

In the 21st century, students’ higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) are crucial, as they focus on students’ capacity to identify problems and think analytically to solve them. Therefore, students were required to have higher-order thinking skills. The purpose of this research was to assess the impact of e-scaffolding in problem-based learning (PBL) on students’ HOTS in the context of standing waves. This study utilized a quasi-experimental approach employing a non-equivalent control group design. The experimental group, which was taught with e-scaffolding in PBL, consisted of 31 students, while the control group, taught only with the PBL model, had 29 students. A total of eight multiple-choice questions that had been proven valid with a reliability of 0.752 were used to assess students’ HOTS. The data were then analyzed using ANCOVA, with pretest scores as covariates. The results showed statistically significant differences among students with increased higher-order thinking skills in favor of using e-scaffolding in PBL: 0.000 (α < 0.005). The eta squared statistic (0.785) indicates a large effect size. By employing PBL with electronic scaffolding, students actively participate in collaborative activities focused on successful problem-solving, resulting in a high success rate. Consequently, it is recommended to consider e-scaffolding as a primary method for developing higher-order thinking skills.

More efficient instructional models that encourage students to engage more actively in their education are essential in today’s world. How information can be found and exchanged, as well as how explanations are delivered, have been shaped by technology. The outcomes demonstrate that mobile learning (m-learning) has enhanced collaboration among instructors and learners, provided immediate feedback, increased student participation and engagement, allowed for authentic learning and evaluation, and supported learning communities in higher education institutions. There was also a change in the teachers’ instructional methods. Students will benefit from simple learning activities, convenient communication, and coaching provided through mobile devices. This study recommends using a learning-based convolutional neural network (CNN) technique to improve students’ English-speaking fluency. In addition, communication between teachers and children in remote areas becomes easier through an interactive system, making both sides more accessible. As a result, it is advisable that educational institutions continually develop innovative teaching techniques that bridge face-to-face and formal-informal learning in the educational setting. The article discusses the background of mobile learning and how it might enhance e-learning as a whole. The m-learning approach is described in this paper as a future version of e-learning. In comparison to the next generation of educational systems, it will be extensively offered and simple to operate for any individual interested in learning. The article also discusses the benefits and potential drawbacks of mobile learning in current educational institutions.
Improvement of Student Interaction Analysis in Online Education Platforms Through Interactive Mobile Technology and Machine Learning Integration
Authors: Jinjin Wang
Published: May 2024

The emergence of online education platforms, driven by interactive mobile technology, has significantly reshaped traditional educational paradigms and underscored the critical need for advanced analysis and improvement of student interactions. Effective analysis of student interaction is crucial for enhancing teaching quality and optimizing the learning experience in these digitally enriched environments. Traditional analysis frameworks often face challenges such as inaccuracies in anomaly detection and inefficiencies in data handling, particularly when handling extensive datasets typical of online platforms. This study introduces a novel approach to enhancing student interaction analysis systems by leveraging the synergy between machine learning and advanced interactive mobile technologies. Initially, the study proposes an advanced anomaly detection method tailored for identifying irregular student interactions. This method utilizes a blend of machine learning algorithms and the real-time data processing capabilities of mobile technology. Furthermore, to address the complexities of data transmission in mobile-based online education ecosystems, a state-ofthe- art congestion control algorithm has been developed. This algorithm optimizes data flow, significantly enhancing transmission stability and efficiency. The integration of interactive mobile technology with machine learning offers a robust and dynamic framework for analyzing student interactions, thereby facilitating a more engaging and effective online educational experience. This research contributes to the advancement of online education quality and efficiency by emphasizing the role of interactive mobile technology in shaping future learning environments.
Claudien, un regard critique sur la Rome de la fin du IVe siècle dans les derniers poèmes politiques ?
Authors: Bureau Bruno
Published: May 2024

Les poèmes politiques, autres que des
invectives, écrits par Claudien entre 398 et 404 développent une
critique parfois violente de la société romaine et de son mode de
gouvernement jugé responsable des difficultés que rencontre l’empire
au tournant du Ve siècle. Prioritairement dirigé d’abord contre
l’Orient et sa cour, la critique évolue dans les poèmes de 402 et 404
vers une remise en cause de l’évolution de la société romaine
occidentale et de l’exercice du pouvoir depuis l’installation de la
dynastie constantienne. Cette critique permet à Claudien d’imposer
l’idée d’un nécessaire retour à un régime impérial fondé sur les
valeurs républicaines, qui constitue le cœur de son propos politique
dans ces ultimes années de sa production.
Variation in ground-dwelling arthropod communities across differently managed infiltration basins
Authors: Farhang Shayan , Duffy Dan , Seymoure Brett
Published: May 2024

As urbanisation continues to increase, terrestrial arthropod diversity declines. Urban green spaces represent unique opportunities to preserve arthropod diversity in urban environments. We quantify how ground-dwelling arthropod communities vary both seasonally and across three differently maintained stormwater infiltration basins in Ellisville, Missouri, United States of America. One basin was routinely mowed, a second was mowed only seasonally, and a third was intentionally planted to attract pollinators and was not mowed during this study. We expected higher plant diversity to correlate with higher arthropod diversity. Therefore, we expected the unmowed basin to have the highest levels of arthropod diversity and abundance and the mowed basin to have the lowest. Four collection periods spanned spring, early summer, late summer, and fall. During each collection period, five pitfall traps were placed throughout each basin for 48 hours. In total, 5686 specimens were collected and identified, representing 59 families. Arthropod communities did not vary across basins or collection dates, largely contrasting with existing literature. The results of this study do not indicate that different mowing regiments in infiltration basins will affect the ground-dwelling arthropod communities at a family level, although the effect on species-level diversity remains to be investigated.

Retropharyngeal abscess, the infection of deep neck spaces, extends from the base of the skull to the posterior mediastinum. It develops as a sequela of dental infection, upper respiratory tract infection, or any interventional procedure like laryngoscopy, endotracheal intubation, etc. Retropharyngeal abscess is a rare presentation of Tuberculosis (TB), with an annual incidence rate of 2.64 per 100,000 population, and gender-based incidence rates of 3.34 for males, and 1.94 for females per 100,000 population.1 It, as a part of head and neck TB, has a prevalence of 0.1-1% among all forms of TB. If not managed timely, it may lead to the spread of its infection to the mediastinum, which can be life-threatening at times, owing to airway compromission and other catastrophic complications like mediastinitis, mediastinal abscess, pericarditis, pyopneumothorax pleuritis and empyema. We hereby present a case of a middle-aged woman diagnosed with a complicated retropharyngeal abscess but managed conservatively with Antitubercular Therapy (ATT).
