IKOPZ: Measuring The Accountability of Zakat, Infaq, and Sadaqah Fund Management in BAZNAS Jakarta Province
Authors: Amrullah Muhamad Tohir , Nisa Choirun , Pe Cecilia Debora
Published: August 2024

This study aims to measure the accountability of the management of Zakat, Infaq, and Sadaqah (ZIS) funds at the DKI Jakarta Provincial National Amil Zakat Agency or BAZNAS (Bazis) DKI Jakarta Province. A mixed method approach with a sequential explanatory strategy is used in this research to collect and analyze data to then become material for the preparation of the Zakat Management Organization Health Index (IKOPZ). The test was conducted by assessing financial and management factors with a total of 85 indicators in it. This research shows that BAZNAS (BAZIS) of DKI Jakarta Province from 2020 to 2021 consecutively has a fairly good health level condition as a result of good business management. The novelty in this research is the improvement of measurement based on IKOPZ which is more comprehensive than other methods such as Zakat Core Principle (ZCP), National Zakat Index (IZN) 2.0, and so on. The research results have practical implications to support the accountability of ZIS fund management. For other zakat management organizations, this research can be a reference to develop and strengthen organizational governance. For some similar industries such as non-profit organizations, perhaps some indicators in financial and management factors in this study can also be used as a reference.

Authors: Husain Achmad Maulana , Sari Lili Puspita
Published: August 2024

Indonesia, as one of the countries with the largest Islamic religion, provides enormous potential for ZIS. However, in reality, this potential has not been realized optimally. As the only Amil Zakat Agency officially established by the Indonesian Government, Baznas RI continues to carry out various innovations so that the management of ZIS funds in Indonesia is more optimal. One of the innovations carried out by Baznas RI is utilizing digital technology which is packaged in the form of an application called Cinta Zakat. It is hoped that the creation of this application will make it easier for muzaki to donate to Baznas, so that it can encourage the growth of ZIS fund collection. Therefore, this research aims to measure the effectiveness of the Cinta Zakat application in increasing the collection of ZIS funds at Baznas RI. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative with a case study type of research. The data sources used are primary data obtained through interviews and observations, as well as secondary data in the form of documentation. Researchers used validation techniques with triangulation, as well as data analysis techniques with reduction, presentation and drawing conclusions. The research results show that the implementation of the Cinta Zakat application in collecting ZIS funds at Baznas RI is quite effective, because there is one indicator that has not been met, namely the program objectives, while indicators including program targets, socialization programs and program monitoring have been fulfilled.

Waktu Tunggu Pelayanan Resep di Depo Farmasi Rawat Jalan Rumah Sakit Umum Kota Bogor
Authors: Shulihah Shulihah
Published: August 2024

Pelayanan farmasi merupakan salah satu pelayanan kesehatan di rumah sakit yang diharapkan memenuhi standar pelayanan minimal. Salah satu indikator untuk mengukur pelayanan farmasi yang telah memenuhi standar pelayanan minimal adalah waktu tunggu pelayanan resep obat. Menurut Peraturan Menteri Kesehatan Nomor 129 Tahun 2008 menyebutkan bahwa standar waktu tunggu pelayanan resep obat jadi adalah ≤ 30 menit dengan capaian 100%, sedangkan untuk resep obat racikan adalah ≤ 60 menit dengan capaian 100%. Kenyataannya masih terdapat waktu tunggu resep obat yang belum memenuhi standar minimal pelayanan di rumah sakit. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menggambarkan waktu tunggu pelayanan resep RSUD Kota Bogor. Kemudian, membandingkan rata-rata waktu tunggu pelayanan resep dengan SPM (Standar pelayanan minimal) Kementrian Kesehatan, serta mengetahui faktor yang memengaruhi waktu tunggu pelayanan resep tersebut. Rancangan penelitian ini adalah cross sectional. Data penelitian dikumpulkan secara prospektif selama bulan Januari hingga Februari 2024. Sampel penelitian diambil secara acak dengan teknik simple random sampling. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa persentase capaian waktu tunggu pelayanan obat jadi ≤ 30 menit adalah 82,33 % dan obat racikan adalah ≤ 60 menit adalah 82%. Hal ini menunjukan bahwa persentase waktu tunggu pelayanan resep belum mencapai standar pelayanan minimal yang telah ditetapkan oleh Kementerian Kesehatan. Faktor yang memengaruhi waktu tunggu pelayanan resep obat yaitu kurangnya SDM di instalasi farmasi, kelengkapan berkas pasien, kurangnya ketersediaan obat yang diresepkan dokter, adanya penggunaan resep elektronik dan manual secara bersama sama, banyaknya resep dokter yang tidak ada di fornas, banyaknya resep yang meminta obat racikan, sistem informasi di instalasi farmasi yang kurang optimal, dokter yang sulit dihubungi ketika resep sulit terbaca. Rumah sakit perlu memperhatikan faktor tersebut sehingga dapat menjaga mutu pelayanan rumah sakit.

Authors: Valerio Jeremi P. , Ebron Von Ryan M. , Cayetano Ann C.
Published: August 2024

Excessive consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages, alcohol, and caffeine is linked to unhealthy behaviors, including poor sleep quality. This study aimed to look at sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) and alcoholic and caffeinated beverage (ACB) intake and their effect on the sleep quality of selected night shift call center agents working in Mandaluyong City. A cross-sectional research design was used, and data were collected through an online questionnaire distributed to 247 qualified participants. Results showed that the most consumed beverage by the respondents was water, with an average amount of 1,187.66 ± 553.37 mL/day. They also habitually drank fruit juices, soft drinks, sweetened juice drinks, and whole milk. The respondents’ beverage intake exceeded the recommendations for both SSB and ACB. Furthermore, almost all (88.26%) of them are categorized to have poor sleep quality. Most respondents with poor sleep quality consume more ACBs (61.13%) than SSBs (38.87%). On the other hand, most respondents with good sleep quality consume more SSBs (55.23%) compared to ACBs (44.77%). This research contributes to the expanding body of information on the health impacts of SSB and ACB consumption. It emphasizes the need for nutrition-focused measures to minimize their intake and promote healthier alternatives.
Worldwide per-capita caffeine consumption time series prediction using CNN and baseline evaluation.
Authors: Almeneem Mhamd Halah Ahmad Abd
Published: August 2024

: It is undeniable that high temperatures, especially those that are above 35 degrees Celsius, make people feel "uncomfortable," which impairs their ability to work and think clearly, makes them irritable, hinders their capacity to attain their typical productivity, and makes them frustrated. One turns to what drives him to work— coffee, tea, and chocolate —to get over this dissatisfaction. Therefore, predicting per capita of coffee and caffeine consumption is essential and requires the identification of powerful and effective methodologies capable of deducing random dependency between the past and the future and creating an accurate prediction of future behavior. In this study, we use deep learning models for time series prediction with multiple steps ahead and evaluate their effectiveness, in forecasting the three-time series; KSA per-capita coffee consumption data from 1961 to 2019, KSA Percentage distribution of Employment-to-Population Ratio from Age of 15 Years Old from the Second Quarter (Q2) in the year 2016 to Second Quarter in the year 2022, and Average temperatures in some province from north to south of Saudi Arabia. Realizing the direction of the curve of these data statistics through extracting effective features in prediction by learning from the raw inputs. Experimental analysis shows that the suggested one-dimensional approaches; the convolution neural network 1D-CNN, convolution Long Short-Term Memory networks or 1D-ConvLSTM, and Encoder-Decoder LSTM or ED-LSTM can predict future values of coffee per capita consumption with high predictive accuracy.

Comparative efficacy studies of biosimilars: data versus theoretical risks, beliefs, and comfort
Authors: Kurki Pekka
Published: August 2024

In principle, biosimilars could mitigate the problem of the rising cost of biological medicines. However, the current stringent and non-harmonized regulatory practices hinder competition and contribute to the high price level of biosimilars. The quality, safety, and efficacy of biosimilars developed, according to the current guidelines of ‘stringent’ regulatory agencies have proven to be excellent. Analytical and in vitro functional testing combined with clinical pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic studies provide the essential data to prove the similarity of candidate biosimilars to their reference products. The standard in vivo non-clinical toxicological studies are useless, and the value of ‘confirmatory’ controlled efficacy (and safety) trials have been questioned by several independent retrospective studies of current biosimilars, including monoclonal antibodies and fusion proteins. Thus, the development of biosimilars could be streamlined to lower costs without increasing risks to efficacy or safety of products. The UK regulatory agency, Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), and the World Health Organization (WHO) have recently revised their biosimilar guidelines to allow the development of biosimilars without ‘confirmatory’ clinical efficacy studies when the biosimilar candidate can be thoroughly characterized and shown to be structurally and functionally similar to the reference product that has no unpredictable serious adverse effects. The European Medicines Agency (EMA) is already exploring possibilities to revise its guidance accordingly. Unfortunately, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is still hesitating. The US guidance should be revised to remove the interchangeability studies and reduce the controlled efficacy trials. Otherwise, the global biosimilar market will not be able to provide better access to biological medicines.
Current understanding, knowledge, and perception of biosimilars in a changing landscape of regulatory requirements
Authors: Krendyukov Andriy , Bakowska Marta , Schiller Dirk , Singhvi Sanjay
Published: August 2024

Introduction: Healthcare providers often lack familiarity with the concepts surrounding the biosimilars industry and the evidence required to support biosimilar development. This paper assesses current understanding, knowledge and perception of biosimilars in different specialties, with the aim of encouraging greater uptake. Methods: The authors assess factors that may impede the acceptance of biosimilars in the medical community and explore measures to enhance confidence. This was achieved with a search of the published literature and preliminary results of an online survey conducted by the authors amongst physicians across different specialities. Results: Even in established biosimilar markets, understanding of biosimilar specific terms such as switching and extrapolation is variable and knowledge of evidence required for biosimilar development and approval is lacking and/or outdated. Lack of familiarity with these concepts and the evidence required to support biosimilar development may deter healthcare providers from using biosimilars to their full advantage. More education for healthcare professionals is required in therapeutic areas where biosimilars are prescribed, and this should be updated regularly in step with evolving regulations. Conclusion: The successful adoption of biosimilars worldwide will require the continuing education of all healthcare professionals and stakeholders. This should include information on totality of evidence and data required for regulatory approval pathways, as well as clinically relevant concepts and terms. Lessons learned in established biosimilar markets and disease areas, such as oncology and immunology/rheumatology, can be shared with other countries and across different therapeutic areas to help prepare the market for new biosimilar entrants.

Published: August 2024

Let $E$ be a compact set of the complex plane containing more than one point whose complement in the extended complex plane is simply connected. Let $\omega = \phi(z)$ map conformally Ext($E$) into $\vert\omega\vert>1$ and with $\phi(\infty)=\infty.$ The map $\phi(z)$ has the form $$\phi(z)=\frac{z}{c}+a_0+\frac{a_{-1}}{ z} +\frac{a_{-2}}{z^2}+ \cdots$$
The Faber polynomials for $E$, $\phi_n(z)$, consist of the polynomial part of $\phi(z)^n.$
For $\epsilon>0$ given let $$E_\epsilon:=\bigcup_{z\inE}B(z,\epsilon),$$ where $B(z,\epsilon)$ denotes the disk of center $z$ and radius $\epsilon,$ and let $$B_\epsilon:=\mathrm{Br}(E_\epsilon).$$
Let$$\alpha:=\inf_{z\in\mathrm{Br}(E)}~\left\{\theta;~\pi\theta\text{is the exterior angle of $E$ at }z\right\}.$$ A typical result obtained in this work is the Theorem 3.2.

On Weighted Extensions of Bajraktarević Means
Authors: Matkowski Janusz
Published: August 2024

For real functions $f,g,\alpha,\beta$ defined in an interval $I$ we introduce a mean $B_{\alpha,\beta}^{[f,g]}.$ which extends the Bajraktarevi\'{c} mean $B^{[f,g]}$ in $I$. The problem of symmetry of $B_{\alpha,\beta}^{[f,g]}$, leading to a functional with two unknown functions, is solved. We show that, under some conditions, every Bajraktarevi\'{c} mean $B^{[f,g]}$ in $(0,\infty)$ can be embedded in a two-parameter family of means $\big\{ B_{a,b}^{[f,g]}:a,b>0\big\}.$ As a special case a new family of means $\big\{ B_{t}^{[p,q]}:t>0\big\},$ which can be treated as the weighted Gini means, is constructed. As an application, the pairs of the these means which leave the geometric mean invariant are indicated, the effective limits of the sequence of iterates of the relevant mean-type mappings are given, as well as some functional equations are solved.

A Strict Fixed Point Problem for $\delta$-Asymptotically Regular Multifunctions and Well-Posedness
Authors: Akkouchi Mohamed
Published: August 2024

In 2005, Lj. Ćirić has established a fixed point theorem for asymptotically regular selfmappings of complete metric spaces. The purpose of this paper is to extend this theorem to the case of $\delta$-asymptotically regular multifunctions on an orbitally complete metric space $X$ which satisfy a variant of Ćirić's contractive condition. The well-posedness of the strict fixed point problem of these multifunctions is studied. We provide also a general result when the metric space $X$ is compact. Our results are natural extensions to some recent results of Lj. B. Ćirić and some old results obtained by Sharma and Yuel and Guay and Singh.

Let $f\left( \lambda \right) =\sum_{n=0}^{\infty }\alpha _{n}\lambda ^{n}$ be a function defined by power series with complex coefficients and convergent on the open disk $D\left( 0,R\right) \subset \mathbb{C}$, $R>0$ and $x,y\in \mathcal{B}$, a Banach algebra, with $xy=yx.$
In this paper we establish some new upper bounds for the norm of the Čebyšev type difference\begin{equation*}f\left( \lambda \right) f\left( \lambda xy\right) -f\left( \lambda x\right)f\left( \lambda y\right)\end{equation*}provide that the complex number $\lambda $ and the vectors $x,y\in \mathcal{B%}$ are such that the series in the above expression are convergent. These results complement the earlier resuls obtained by the authors. Applicationsfor some fundamental functions such as the exponential function and the resolvent function are provided as well.

Self-Orthogonal Codes From Row Orbit Matrices of Strongly Regular Graphs
Authors: Maksimović Marija
Published: August 2024

We show that under certain conditions submatrices of row orbit matrices of strongly regular graphs span self-orthogonal codes. In order to demonstrate this method of construction, we construct self-orthogonal ternary linear codes from orbit matrices of the strongly regular graphs with parameters (70,27,12,9). Also we construct non self-orthogonal binary linear codes from these orbit matrices. Further, we obtain strongly regular graphs and block designs from codewords of the constructed codes.
Dynamical systems associated with QRT families of degree four biquadratic curves each of them with genus zero
Authors: Bastien Guy , Rogalski Marc
Published: August 2024

We give some examples of QRT families of biquadratic curves which are of degree 4 (with high degree term $x^2y^2$), but such that every curve of such a family is singular, with genus 0, or is reducible (for some finite set of values of the parameter). This contrasts with classical examples of QRT families studied by many authors. We give also examples of QRT families of degree 4 whose every curve is reducible. Then we sketch out to study the dynamical systems associated to such QRT families of genus zero.

Published: August 2024

In this paper, we define Gaussian Fibonacci functions and investigate themon the set of real numbers $\mathbb{R},$ i.e., functions $f_{G}$ $:$$\mathbb{R}\rightarrow \mathbb{C}$ such that for all $x\in \mathbb{R},$ $%n\in \mathbb{Z},$ $f_{G}(x+n)=f(x+n)+if(x+n-1)$ where $f$ $:$ $\mathbb{R}%\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ is a Fibonacci function which is given as $%f(x+2)=f(x+1)+f(x)$ for all $x\in \mathbb{R}$. Then the concept of GaussianFibonacci functions by using the concept of $f$-even and $f$-odd functionsis developed. Also, we present linear sum formulas of Gaussian Fibonaccifunctions. Moreover, it is shown that if $f_{G}$ is a Gaussian Fibonaccifunction with Fibonacci function $f$, then $\lim_{x\rightarrow \infty }\frac{%f_{G}(x+1)}{f_{G}(x)}=\alpha $ and\ $\lim_{x\rightarrow \infty }\frac{%f_{G}(x)}{f(x)}=1+\left( \alpha -1\right) i,$ where $\alpha $ is thepositive real root of equation $x^{2}-x-1=0$ for which $\alpha >1$.Furthermore, matrix formulations of Fibonacci functions and Gaussian Fibonacci functions are given. We also present linear sum formulas and matrix formulations of Fibonacci functions which have not been studied in the literature.
The Cauchy Problem for Quasilinear Systems of Functional Differential Equations
Authors: Grigorian G. A.
Published: August 2024

We use the contracting mapping principle to prove that under some mild restrictions, the Cauchy problem for quasilinear systems of functional differential equations with retarded arguments has a unique solution. As a consequence of this result, we obtain that the Cauchy problem for linear systems of functional differential equations with locally integrable coefﬁcients and with locally measurable retarded arguments has a unique solution. We show that similar results can be obtained for the Cauchy co problem of quasilinear systems of functional differential equations with advanced arguments.

Further Development on Krasner-Vuković Paragraded Structures and $p$-adic Interpolation of Yubo Jin $L$-values
Authors: Panchishkin Alexei
Published: August 2024

This paper is a joint project with Siegfried Bocherer (Mannheim), developing a recent preprint of  Yubo Jin (Durham UK) previous works of Anh Tuan Do (Vietnam)  and Dubrovnik, IUC-2016 papers from \textit{Sarajevo Journal of Mathematics} (Vol.12, No.2-Suppl., 2016).
We wish to use paragraded structures on {differential operators and arithmetical automorphic forms on classical groups and show that these structures provide a tool to construct $p$-adic measures and $p$-adic $L$-functions on the corresponding non-archimedean weight spaces.}
 
An approach to constructions of automorphic $L$-functions on unitary groups and their $p$-adic analogues is presented.
For an algebraic group $G$ over a number field $K$ these $L$ functions
are  certain Euler products  $L(s,\pi, r, \chi)$. 
In particular, our constructions cover the $L$-functions in \cite{Shi00} via the doubling method of Piatetski-Shapiro and Rallis. 
A $p$-adic analogue of $L(s,\pi, r, \chi)$ is a $p$-adic analytic function  $L_p(s,\pi, r, \chi)$ of $p$-adic arguments $s  \in \Z_p$, $\chi \bmod p^r$ which interpolates algebraic numbers  defined through the normalized critical values $L^*(s,\pi,r, \chi)$ of the corresponding complex analytic  $L$-function. We present a method using arithmetic nearly-holomorphic forms and general quasi-modular forms, related to algebraic automorphic forms. It gives a technique of constructing $p$-adic zeta-functions via general quasi-modular forms and their Fourier coefficients.

Published: August 2024

This paper investigates the rate of convergence of a certain mixed monotone rational second-order difference equation with quadratic terms. More precisely we give the precise rate of convergence for all attractors of the difference equation $x_{n+1}=\frac{Ax_{n}^{2}+Ex_{n-1}}{x_{n}^{2}+f}$, where all parameters are positive and initial conditions are non-negative.The mentioned methods are illustrated in several characteristic examples.

Characterization of Phytochemical Inhibitors of the COVID-19 Primary Protease Using Molecular Modelling Approach
Authors: Sunita  , Taj Gohar
Published: August 2024

The objective of this research is to find an antiviral medication that would work against the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Using existing effective pharmaceuticals from various virus treatments will be an immediate qualifying strategy. Virtual screening of antiviral databases for possible therapeutic effect were used to identify favourable pharmacological compounds. In anti-CoV medication development, targeting the major protease (pdb id: 6LU7) is becoming more significant. This paper focuses on the In silico evaluation of proposed anti-Alzheimer activity. Including toxicity prediction, molinspiration, AdmetSAR predictions, and targeted docking investigations, the best therapeutic candidates have been offered. Based on Viber and Lipinski rules, 4 derivatives were chosen for bioactivity prediction and drug similarity score. The reference standard drugs for the comparison of molecular descriptors and docking were hydrochloroquine and remdesivir. Remdesivir is a well-known FDA-approved drug that slows viral reproduction by terminating its binding to the viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase. Our proposed compounds share similarities with Remdesivir, and doxorubicin is another drug with anti- SARS-CoV-2 virus. For pharmacological targets including such enzymes, nuclear receptors, kinase inhibitors, G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) ligands, and ion channel modulators, the bioactivity score of the compounds was predicted Apart from 4 compound, which has been found to get AdmetSAR toxicity or impact, all proposed compounds showed good blood-brain barrier (BBB) penetration, human intestinal absorption (HIA), and Caco-2 cell permeability in their ADMET predictions. Rutin and quercetin have a strong affinity to inhibit these proteins which cause SARS-CoV-2 virus. Our data provide evidence that therapy is effective and enhances oral bioavailability.
Ameliorating Effects of Proline Application in Solanum lycopersicum L under Salt Stress

Published: August 2024

Salt stress is one of the abiotic stresses which limit the growth and development of crop plants. Salt stress affects the crops differently at different developmental stages, posing a significant challenge for crop yield. In the present investigation, we presented the beneficial effects of the application of exogenous proline on selected five Solanum lycopersicum germplasm under salt stress condition. Arka Rakshak, YVU-1, YVU-2, S-22 and PKM-OP tomato germplasm were exposed to 100 mM salt stress. Fresh weight, Dry weight, Superoxide dismutase (SOD), Guailcol peroxidase (GPX) and Catalase activity (CAT) variables were assessed in the laboratory conditions by applying 10 mM proline to 100 mM salt stress tomato germplasm. The evaluated germplasm for salt tolerance exhibited a wide range of salt stress responses, and exogenous proline application significantly reduced the salt stress effects. The Proline application improved the fresh weight and dry weight phenotypic variables in comparison to respective plants under salt stress. These positive effects may be mainly driven by the better nutrient acquisition by alleviating the damage caused by salt stress by improving antioxidant activities. Superoxide dismutase (SOD), Guailcol peroxidase (GPX) and Catalase activity (CAT) variables were increased under salt stress, while a significant decrease of these variables was observed following after Proline application. In conclusion, exogenous application of proline, a potential external osmotic protective agent, is one method for minimizing the deleterious effects of salt stress in Solanum lycopersicum.
Adaptive Minimum Support Threshold for Association Rule Mining
Authors: Ogedengbe Matthew , Junaidu Sahalu , Kana Donfack
Published: August 2024

In association rule mining (ARM), valuable rules are extracted from frequent itemsets, selecting appropriate minimum support thresholds is essential yet challenging. Arbitrary threshold selection often results in either an overwhelming number of uninteresting rules or the omission of relevant rules. To address this issue, this study introduces an Adaptive Minimum Support (SAd) algorithm designed to dynamically adjust the support threshold based on dataset characteristics, thereby facilitating the discovery of optimal association rules. The SAd algorithm was experimented on three real-world datasets, yielding optimal minimum support thresholds of 0.065, 0.133, and 0.057 respectively. Results demonstrate the algorithm's effectiveness in adapting the support threshold to each dataset's characteristics. By optimizing the threshold, the SAd algorithm enhances the quality of discovered association rules, offering more actionable insights for decision-making.
Comparación del riesgo de Trastorno de Conducta Alimentaria y uso de las redes sociales entre adolescentes chiapanecos de una zona urbana y una rural

Published: August 2024

Los trastornos de la conducta alimentaria (TCA) son enfermedades multicausales del ámbito psiquiátrico, las cuales se caracterizan por una preocupación excesiva por el peso y la ingesta de comida, así mismo la imagen corporal. Uno de los factores que se ha asociado con el riesgo de TCA es el uso excesivo de las redes sociales, las cuales promueven un ideal estético y físico que está presente en la sociedad. El objetivo de esta investigación fue comparar el riesgo de los trastornos de la conducta alimentaria y el uso de las redes sociales en adolescentes chiapanecos de una zona urbana y una rural. El estudio se realizó en 238 adolescentes de ambos sexos, de zonas urbana y rural. Se aplicó el instrumento de “Conductas alimentarias de riesgo y el uso de las redes sociales en adolescentes”. Contrario a lo que se esperaba, los resultados mostraron que la población que presentó un mayor riesgo de TCA fueron los adolescentes de la zona rural. Al evaluar el riesgo de TCA de acuerdo al sexo en ambas zonas se observó que no hubo diferencias. Cuando se analizó el uso de las redes sociales se observó que son más utilizadas por los adolescentes de la zona rural. Estos comportamientos, junto con otros factores de riesgo, pueden aumentar el riesgo de desarrollar o de mantener un trastorno en las conductas de alimentación.
Instructional Risk and Crisis Communication at Higher Education Institutions during COVID-19: Insights from Practitioners in the Global South and North
Authors: Andreas Schwarz  , Deanna D. Sellnow  , Timothy D. Sellnow  , Lakelyn E. Taylor
Published: August 2024

During the COVID-19 pandemic, challenges at higher education institutions (HEIs) in managing public health crises were revealed globally. The literature on HEIs has focused on Western/Northern countries and lacks theoretically grounded studies of internal instructional risk communication. This article reports the results of interviews with HEI communication practitioners at 28 universities in 16 countries in the Global South and North regarding their practices of message design and distribution during COVID-19. Using the IDEA model of instructional risk communication, the results revealed that practitioners’ communication emphasized action and dissemination over internalization and explanation. Practitioners from the Global South were more likely to perceive personal relevance as important and integrate it into their messages than those from the Global North. Practitioners from the Global South also used credible sources and translated technical jargon for lay audiences more often than those in the Global North. Most of the practitioners’ risk messaging was informed by personal experience and intuition rather than by theory or best practice models.
The Mediated Construction of Crises—Combining Automated and Qualitative Content Analysis to Investigate the Use of Crisis Labels in Headlines of Swiss News Media between 1998 and 2020
Authors: Daniel Vogler  , Florian Meissner
Published: August 2024

The recent accumulation of crises has led scholars to diagnose that crises increasingly dominate news headlines. However, there is little empirical evidence for this diagnosis because previous research often misses the longitudinal perspective. To address this gap in research, we used automated content analysis to investigate to what extent five Swiss newspapers used the crisis label in their headlines between 1998 and 2020. In the next step, we applied topic modeling to the dataset of 10,458 articles with crisis labels in their headlines to detect which topics were covered under the crisis label. Finally, we used a qualitative content analysis to name and describe the automatically identified topics. Our exploratory longitudinal design calls into question the diagnosis of the increasing use of crisis labels in media reporting. Instead, the 2008 financial crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic stand out as strong drivers of crisis labeling in headlines.
