Methods to control disclosure risk of synthetic data created by National Statistics Agencies
Authors: Raab Gillian
Published: September 2023

ObjectivesWith the recent explosion of interest in using synthetic data (SD) for disclosure control many NSAs are releasing, or considering releasing. synthetic versions of their administrative data. This presentation will review the methods that NSAs can use to limit the disclosure risk of any planned release of synthetic data.
MethodsThis paper will review the ways in which methods of creating can be adapted to control the disclosure risk that could arise by the release of such data either to trusted researchers or to a wider group. Methods that will be evaluated will include:

The use of Statistical Disclosure Control (SDC) methods on the synthetic data before its release
Selecting methods producing low fidelity synthetic data
Adapting the synthesis method until it satisfies measures of disclosure risk
Incoporating differential privacy (DP) into the method of creating synthetic data

ResultsNSAs can use different methods to create SD based on real data (RD); see e.g. https://unece.org/info/publications/pub/373531. Tthe disclosure risk of SD depends on the context of its release, to whom, in what environment etc. Even if the planned method of release ensures low disclosure risk, NSAs will want to know what the disclosure risk might be if the SD got into the wrong hands.
The SD can reveal that an identified person is in the RD (identity disclosure) or can disclose information about other measures for an individual that are part of the RD. Measures of identity disclosure and attribute disclosure are described. Results will be presented on the disclosure risk of examples of SD created for real examples by the methods 1 to 4.
ConclusionEach of the methods 1 to 4 have strengths and weaknesses. Methods 2 and 4 will be ruled out for many applications because of poor fidelity to the RD. A practical way forward is suggested by combining methods 1 and 3.

Authors: Turner Emma , Hampton Jen , Huck Rachel , Melson Clare , Powell-Bavester Jason , Goodman Alissa , Ploubidis George , Flaig Robin , Boyd Andy
Published: September 2023

ObjectivesDevelop administrative linkages within a national Trusted Research Environment (TRE) that hosts Longitudinal Population Study (LPS) data for over 20 LPS. We will describe the methodological development carried out to enable linkage to administrative datasets. These linked administrative data will support research for public good, informing policy and practice.

MethodsThe first sets of administrative data under consideration in this Feasibility Study are from the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP), the Department for Education (DfE) and HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC). Working with UK Government departments through a Task & Finish group we have gathered input from DWP, HMRC and DfE and Office for National Statistics (ONS) data sharing experts. The Task & Finish group identified three pragmatic data linkage and data sharing models, that would enable data to be linked via a newly designed secure data pipeline in a legal, secure, and trustworthy manner for all stakeholders.

ResultsTo encourage sustainability and acceptability, a model designed to be maintained over a long period is based on the re-use of Departmental Personal Identifiable Information (PII) – i.e., name, date of birth, gender, National Insurance number - and attribute data already deposited by the Departments into ONS. ONS will develop for the linkage and extraction of ONS Data into the TRE a system which conducts, and quality assesses the linkage; minimises the Departmental data to participants within the TRE only and the variables specified in the agreements; and, de-identifies the data to their DEA processing standards. The minimised and functionally anonymous data extract will be securely transferred for ingest and integration into the TRE enabling researchers to address a wider range of questions for public benefit.

ConclusionThis is a model for efficient and low-burden linkages to inform cross cutting research. It will form part of a responsive UK data science capability which can inform government research needs and be used to meet future crisis e.g. new pandemics, the impacts of climate change or economic shocks.
Active travel to schools in Wales
Authors: Turner Samantha , Fry Richard , Griffiths Lucy , Lyons Jane , Johnson Rhodri , Mizen Amy , Lyons Ronan
Published: September 2023

ObjectivesActive travel to school (ATS), such as walking and cycling, not only reduces carbon emissions and air pollution but also contributes to a myriad of health benefits. Understanding the ‘potential’ for ATS across Wales is poorly understood yet vital to inform policy and practice aimed at increasing ATS.

MethodsUsing geospatial techniques, network distances have been calculated for all residences to all schools in Wales. Distances for each residence were de-identified and imported into the Secure Anonymised Information Linkage (SAIL) databank using SAIL’s split file approach. Within SAIL, anonymised distances were linked to encrypted school locations and a cohort of approximately 440,000 children attending a state school in Wales as recorded in the Education Wales (EDUW) dataset. Travel distance to school was subsequently filtered for each child within our cohort.

ResultsThe incorporation of geospatial network derived origin-destination pairs (n=2,205,000,000) allows us to explore how households can engage in ATS, and how this varies by primary/secondary school, welsh-speaking, urban/rural, and socioeconomic status. Initially we will present findings based on distance alone, with future refinements to encompass other factors influencing ATS including: active travel routes, road safety, and topography. We will link our results to anonymised ATS survey responses in SAIL, to calculate specific ATS distance thresholds by age, deprivation, and urban/rural status, including social indicators such as household composition.

ConclusionCurrently there is limited local or national comparable information on the potential for ATS in Wales. This baseline information is urgently needed to inform ATS policy and planning, and to ensure appropriate ATS interventions are prioritised for schools and communities where need is greatest.
Novel linkage of health and prison data in Scotland: Investigating access to services for mental health and substance use following release from prison
Authors: Connell Catriona , Kjellgren Richard , Savinc Jan
Published: September 2023

ObjectivesTo compare the use of NHS services for mental health and substance use (MH/SU) between people released from prison and the general population. This paper describes the data linkage and analytical process, discusses policy implications and highlights the methodological contributions for future administrative data research in public health and justice.

MethodsRetrospective cohort study using linked Scottish health data and the Scottish Prison Service (SPS), involving all individuals released from prison in 2015 (n = 14,000), and a random general population sample (n = 70,000), matched on index date, age, sex, and postcode. Analysis will include descriptive comparison of service use between the two cohorts. Multiple regression models will be fitted to examine the influence of confounding variables in service use, and multilevel models will specifically assess cross-level geographical variation where feasible.

ResultsResults of the data linkage and analysis to date will be presented. This research will contribute to understanding the complex range of contacts people have with health services for MH/SU following imprisonment. It is the first research in Scotland to provide a national-level description of access to health services for MH/SU among people released from prison and offer a comparison to the general population. It also explores within-group differences in service access for people released from prison.

ConclusionThe linking and analysis of multiple justice and health-related datasets will provide crucial evidence to inform future healthcare delivery for justice-experienced populations. This research also advances our understanding of public health approaches and administrative data research in justice-related contexts.
Introducing best practice for reproducibility in government
Authors: Munro Megan , Delong-Smith Patrycja , Matthews Pete , Charlton Loes , Lyons Megan , Tucker James
Published: September 2023

There is an appetite to improve the reproducibility of quantitative analysis undertaken across government. Our team supports conversion of regular publications into Reproducible Analytical Pipelines (RAP). To achieve this, we developed a roadmap to work with analysts in our organisation and help them transform their pipelines and build their skills.

An audit of the current RAP status of all regular pipelines assisted in resource allocation and planning. The maturity of a RAP is evaluated on 7 criteria required to reach a minimum viable product (MVP) and 7 additional advanced criteria as outlined by the Analysis Function (AF). We use a combination of hands-on pair-coding with analysis teams, regular and ad hoc code reviews, and training sessions to convert existing pipelines into RAPs, while simultaneously upskilling the analysts. We have also developed guidance and training documentation to share internally and externally.

Currently, out of 73 regular publications, 12 have reached the MVP, with an average score of 4.36 out of 7. This scoring is reassessed monthly, allowing us to track the progress in real-time. Self-assessment of technical skills increased by between 43% and 89% and 97% said their understanding of RAP principals improved because of the training and 77% said they are now able to implement best practice into their work. By working with the pipeline owners instead of just refactoring the code directly, we are ensuring business resilience. The in-depth knowledge of the pipeline and skills required to maintain it are present within the analysis team. Publishing our methods, documentation and tools facilitates adoption of RAP for those without a dedicated RAP team.

We are on track to convert all our regular publications into RAPs and move to “RAP by default”, in line with the AF RAP Strategy. This will improve the reproducibility, quality, efficiency, transparency, and trustworthiness of analysis within government. We hope other organisations can learn from our methods.
Educational and employment outcomes associated with childhood traumatic brain injury in Scotland: A population-based record-linkage cohort study
Authors: Visnick Meghan , Pell Jill , Mackay Daniel , Clark David , King Albert , Fleming Michael
Published: September 2023

ObjectivesTraumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of death and disability among young children and adolescents and the effects can be lifelong and wide-reaching. This study aimed to compare the educational and employment outcomes of Scottish schoolchildren previously hospitalised for TBI with their peers.

MethodsA retrospective, record-linkage population cohort study was conducted using linkage of health and education administrative records. The cohort comprised all 766,244 singleton children born in Scotland and aged between 4 and 18 years who attended Scottish schools at some point between 2009 and 2013. Outcomes included special educational need (SEN), examination attainment, school absence and exclusion, and unemployment. Logistic regression models and generalised estimating equation (GEE) models were run unadjusted and then adjusted for sociodemographic and maternity confounders.

ResultsOf the 766,244 children in the cohort, 4,788 (0.6%) had a history of hospitalisation for TBI. Following adjustment for potential confounders, previous TBI was associated with SEN (OR 1.28, CI 1.18 to 1.39, p < 0.001), absenteeism (IRR 1.09, CI 1.06 to 1.12, p < 0.001), exclusion (IRR 1.33, CI 1.15 to 1.55, p < 0.001), and low attainment (OR 1.30, CI 1.11 to 1.51, p < 0.001). There was no significant association with unemployment 6 months after leaving school (OR 1.03, CI 0.92 to 1.16, p = 0.61). Excluding hospitalisations coded as concussion strengthened the associations.

ConclusionChildhood TBI, sufficiently severe to warrant hospitalisation, was associated with a range of adverse educational outcomes. These findings reinforce the importance of preventing TBI where possible. Where not possible, children with a history of TBI should be supported to minimise the adverse impacts on their education.
The trials and tribulations of linking real-world data: When research doesn’t go quite as planned
Authors: Hodges Helen
Published: September 2023

ObjectiveDrawing upon learning from bringing youth justice data into SAIL Databank, this paper will focus some of the challenges associated with using real world data, and the implications that this for the research.

MethodsAs part of a feasibility study model how the probability of further offending changes over time for children looked after relative to their peers, two local authorities agreed to share historic risk assessment data. This was then linked to linking education, social services, health and family court data. The temporal coverage of the data was such that records did not go back to birth in many instances, and the chaotic lifestyles of some of the data subjects meant that it was not possible for an ALF to be created.

ResultsAn examination of the match rates highlights where there may well be issues for other researchers wishing to understand the vulnerabilities and circumstances of those in the criminal justice system through larger datasets. Whilst the quality of the data provided placed limitations on the study, the exercise also demonstrated the potential opportunities afforded by data linkage to identify how best to support those with complex lives as they navigate the justice system. As one of the first Welsh studies, this study highlights the richness of the social science datasets available to researchers who are concerned with interface between justice and devolved policy areas.

ConclusionWhilst not all of the objectives of the study could be realised, the insights gained represent a methodological advancement, and contribute to understandings of the realities of working with real world data.
Embedding an engagement exercise into an administrative data research project: An example focussing on Gypsy, Traveller and Roma young people and their families
Authors: Vizard Polly , Obolenskaya Polina
Published: September 2023

ObjectivesThe presentation reports findings from the ADR funded project ‘Testing and demonstrating the value of the Growing Up in England dataset: Gypsy, Traveller and Roma case study’. It will (1) address the rationale for embedding an engagement exercise in this project; (2) set out methodology and findings; and (3) draw broader implications for administrative data research.

MethodsTwo engagement workshops were co-organised with the civil society organisation Friends, Families and Travellers (FFT). Recruitment was via FFT outreach networks and young people aged 14-29 and their broader family groups were invited to attend. Participants included Romany Gypsies, Traveller and Roma young people and family groups, ensuring diversity of experiences and perspectives. Informed consent was obtained from all participants (and from parents/carers for under 18s). The purpose of the engagement exercise was to hear directly from Gypsy, Traveller and Roma young people about issues raised by our analysis of the newly linked Growing Up in England (GUiE) dataset.

ResultsFeedback from the workshops explores the educational experiences of Gypsy, Traveller and Roma young people and their families and provides important insights into barriers to educational progression and unmet needs for support. Additionally, feedback from the workshops provides new insights into the views, perspectives and experiences of Gypsy, Traveller and Roma young people and their families relating to administrative data collection and data use. One key concern highlighted by workshop participants is that the disclosure of Gypsy, Traveller and Roma identity in administrative data collected by schools, hospitals and other public services could result in discrimination or other forms of adverse or hostile treatment.

ConclusionsThe findings from the engagement exercise have important implications for our GUiE project and for broader reflection on public attitudes to administrative data. Additionally, the exercise enabled us to address NSDEC recommendations on engagement. However, engaging with Gypsy, Traveller and Roma young people has involved specialist input, time, funding and additional ethics review, which all require careful consideration and planning.
Primary-school recorded special educational needs in children born with major congenital anomalies in England: A population-based study using the Education and Child Health Insights from Linked Data database
Authors: Lewis Kate , Peppa Maria , De Stavola Bianca , Hardelid Pia , Gilbert Ruth
Published: September 2023

ObjectivesWe provide a national overview of survival to primary school and recorded special educational needs (SEN) provision among children with hospital identified major congenital anomalies (MCAs) born in England. We also report changes before and after government reform of SEN in 2014.

MethodsWe created a cohort of 6,180,400 singleton children born in England between 1 September 2003 and 31 August 2013 using linked administrative health and education records (from the ‘ECHILD’ database). MCAs were identified using hospital admission and mortality records during infancy. We used at least one record of SEN in state-school records as a proxy for SEN provision. We quantified: survival to age 5 using Kaplan-Meier survival analysis; the prevalence of recorded SEN during primary school Years 1 to 6; and the difference in proportion of children with recorded SEN in Year 1 before and after the 2014 government SEN reforms.

ResultsChildren with any MCA had 5-year survival rates of 95.1% (95% confidence interval, CI, 95.0, 95.2), compared with 99.7% (95% CI 99.7, 99.7) among children without a MCA. 41.5% (75,202/181,328) of children with an MCA attending state-school between Year 1 and 6 had any recorded SEN compared with 25.6% (1,282,979/5,008,624) of children without a MCA. Of the 12 system-specific MCA subgroups, children with chromosomal, nervous system and eye anomalies had the largest prevalence of recorded SEN. The prevalence of recorded SEN decreased by 4.9% (95% CI -5.3, -4.4) for children with any MCA compared with a reduction of 4.3% (95% CI -4.4, -4.2) for children without a MCA, when comparing pupils in Year 1 before and after 2014.

ConclusionRecorded SEN among children with hospital identified MCAs was markedly higher than for those without MCAs, however more than half had no recorded SEN. Our findings suggest government reform in 2014 reduced SEN provision for children with MCAs.
Linking prison health care data to other health data: A novel data linkage study in Northern Ireland
Authors: Cooper Janine , O’Reilly Dermot , Kelly Trish , Kirk Richard , Gray Ruth , Donnelly Michael
Published: September 2023

ObjectivesWe describe the progress made in the development of a novel linked database designed to improve understanding about the health, mental health, health service use and mortality risk of people following their release from prison in Northern Ireland (NI).

MethodsThis is a collaborative project between the ADRC-NI and the NI Healthcare in Prisons service (HIPS) - South Eastern Health and Social Care Trust (SEHSCT). Data about the health of all adult prisoners between 2012 and 2021 (HIPS) will be linked to a healthcare population spine (National Health Application and Infrastructure Services - NHAIS) via a Health and Care Number (HCN), a unique health identifier for each patient in the NHS in Northern Ireland. Data will subsequently be linked to prescribing data (Enhanced Prescribing Database - EPD), in-patient services data (mental health) and mortality data (General Register Office - GRO).

ResultsEthical and governance approvals have been obtained. A stepwise approach to the development of this novel health database will be presented. Data cleaning has been undertaken by the HIPS team and records with missing HCNs have been identified and updated. Extraction of prison health data is underway for N=14,898 individuals and N=34,213 custodial episodes. Individuals may have more than one prison episode during the study period. Electronic and manual modes were used to extract 25 health-related variables from prison records. Data will be transferred to the Honest Broker Service (HBS), the trusted research environment for health and social care in NI, for data de-identification and linkage, and data access for analysis. Preliminary results and lessons for other related data-linkage projects will be presented and discussed.

ConclusionWe will describe our progress regarding the development of a novel health dataset comprising routinely collected administrative data and our work about prisoner health. We will report about our experience of assessing data access, cleaning, extracting, and analysing data and the linkage possibilities with respect to the prison health dataset.
Use of Microsoft Power BI to display pregnancy related performance statistics within NHS trusts
Authors: Hugh Oliver , Gardosi Jason
Published: September 2023

ObjectiveWe wanted to create a dashboard that allowed midwives and doctors to monitor the performance of their NHS Trust by viewing the statistics relating to their performance in identifying babies at risk due to not growing well in the womb (small for gestational age, SGA), the single largest cause of stillbirths and subject to national guidelines and reporting requirements. Antenatal detection of SGA allows clinicians to undertake further investigations and plan for a timely delivery.

MethodThe use of Power BI instead of a solution requiring software development allowed the data analysis team to be in control of creating the application and facilitate a streamlined updating process. We used the dashboard feature, dropdowns and radio buttons to display statistics relating to the rate of identification of SGA at antenatal ultrasound scan as a proportion of all babies that are SGA at birth (sensitivity) as well as false positivity. The dashboard is contained within the web-based application to monitor growth during antenatal care. Applying the row level security feature with DAX formula, we were able to personalise the report for each Trust depending on who logged into the web-app.

ResultsThe application facilitates monitoring performance of the service in real time, longitudinally by month, quarter and year as well benchmark cross-sectionally against network/regional and national averages. The dashboard lets clinicians access their information in a clear and secure manner without the need for a separate link. The ready availability of data allows Trusts to enact policies to improve their performance and ultimately prevent avoidable deaths, and has contributed to the year on year decline in stillbirth rates in units that have been running this application.

ConclusionDevelopment of this dashboard has resulted trusts being more aware of their own data to promote improvements in antenatal care.
The net tax-benefit position and the role of self-interest in attitudes towards the welfare state
Authors: Han Solhee
Published: September 2023

This paper examines to what extent the actual net tax-benefit position (redistribution outcome) affects support towards the welfare state besides the typical indicator for self-interest, income. This paper then explores how own and partner’s socio-demographic factors affect support based on self-assessed social risks while ideology and beliefs mitigate self-interested judgements.

This paper integrates tax and benefit information from Luxembourg Income Study and attitudes data in European Social Survey using Statistical Matching. The technique integrates target variables that are distinctively observed in two sources using common variables which best explain the target variables in each data set. Using the linked data set, it adopts a multi-level model to explore institutional and individual factors. At the macro level, it investigates progressivity and sizes of taxes and transfers of nineteen European countries. Also, household arrangements including living with children and/or partner and demographics including age, gender, education, occupation, and own economic outlook are examined.

Using a more direct indicator for self-interest, the net tax-benefit position, expected results of the analysis are in three folds. First, those who pay more taxes and receive less benefits are less supportive of the welfare state despite the same income level. Second, those who are more likely to benefit from the welfare state are more likely to be supportive of the welfare state. For example, those who live with children may be more supportive due to higher likelihood to receive family benefits. Similarly, subjective assessment to benefit from the welfare state due to higher social risks such as unemployment or sickness leads to more positive attitudes. Third, those who are politically left and have less meritocratic values are likely to be more supportive.

Due to the data limitation, the impact of income-tax-benefit positions on welfare attitudes was not directly measured. This paper contributes to this discussion using the Statistical Matching and Multi-level modelling which explores interactions of actual net tax-benefit position, potential benefits based on social position/risks, and mitigating beliefs.
Improving access to free school meals for children in poverty in Northern Ireland
Authors: Gleghorne Nicole
Published: September 2023

ObjectivesTwo thirds of children in poverty did not receive free school meals (FSM) between 2015 and 2019 in Northern Ireland (Department for Communities in Northern Ireland, 2022). This project aims to explore this discrepancy between eligibility and access to FSM and improve access to FSM for all children in poverty.

MethodsData from the Family Resources Survey (FRS) between 2017 and 2020 was obtained from the UK Data Service and FSM eligibility was calculated using the current criteria provided by the Department for Education in Northern Ireland. Cross-tabulations were used to explore the number of children in receipt of FSM compared to those eligible but not in receipt of FSM. Multilevel logistic regression models used FSM eligibility as the dependent variable and relative and absolute poverty before and after housing costs and number of siblings in a family as the independent variables, controlling for age and gender of the child.

ResultsPreliminary analysis suggests that increasing the income threshold for families with more than one child provides greater access to FSM for children in poverty. There is also evidence that using the OECD modified equivalisation to adjust household income for larger families improves the rate of FSM eligibility for children in relative and absolute poverty before and after housing costs. The findings aim to provide evidence on the most appropriate threshold and equivalisation calculation required to ensure all children in poverty are eligible for FSM, giving greater access to FSM and educational opportunities to those children who need it most.

ConclusionThe project will inform the current Anti-Poverty Strategy which is under review in Northern Ireland highlighting the need to consider family size through equivalisation into the FSM eligibility criteria. It also emphasizes the importance of administrative data to inform policy on FSM and other educational opportunities in Northern Ireland.
Changing trends in child welfare inequalities in Northern Ireland

Published: September 2023

ObjectivesThis study uses longitudinal administrative data to investigate the relationship between area level deprivation and the 1) referral, 2) investigation, 3) registration and 4) looked-after stages of children’s contact with child and family social work in Northern Ireland (NI) from 2010-2017 (stages 1-3) and 2010-2020 (stage 4).

MethodsChildren’s social care data (SOSCARE database) for the years 2010 to 2020 were obtained from the Honest Broker Service in NI. The data were linked with the 2017 NI Multiple Deprivation Measure through the family of origin postcode. Cross-tabulations of year and deprivation decile were used to produce frequencies of children who experienced the four levels of intervention within each of the study years. These were then used to calculate various measures of absolute and relative inequality including the Slope Index of Inequality (SII), the Relative Ratio of Inequality (RRI) and the Relative Index of Inequality (RII).

ResultsThere was a clear and increasing social gradient in child welfare interventions over time. Children referred to children’s social care during 2010-2017 were 4-5 times more likely to come from the most deprived areas compared to the least deprived. Despite fairly stable levels of referral inequality, the ratio of children subject to child protection investigations rose from 3 in 2010 to 6 in 2017, the ratio of children subject to child protection plans rose from 4.5 in 2010 to 8 in 2017 and the ratio of children looked after rose from 4 in 2010 to 9 in 2020. This widening inequality was largely driven by the increasing involvement of younger children from the most deprived areas in child protection and looked-after processes.

ConclusionIn an environment of economic austerity and reduced spending, we are intervening in the lives of children and families living in the most deprived areas of NI at disproportionate rates. The current independent review of children’s social care offers an opportunity to reconfigure current provision with a clear inequalities focus.
Linked Consumer Registers as data infrastructure for timely and inclusive monitoring of community characteristics
Authors: Longley Paul , Van Dijk Justin , Chi Bin
Published: September 2023

We review creation and maintenance of nationwide individual level Linked Consumer Registers as DigitalFootprints Data and their use to create timely, inclusive annual neighbourhood scale research ready datasets of social and spatial mobility. Outputs include annual estimates of neighbourhood churn, neighbourhood deprivation following moves, energy usage and ‘housing career’ measures.

Individual level names and addresses are harvested from public Electoral Registers and consumer sources from 1997-2023. A novel ‘migration model’ is developed to georeference records and link them across years. The provenance of data and methods are documented in metadata to accompany derivative research ready data extracts pertaining to residential mobility occurrences and outcomes. Novel methods are developed to reveal the probable gender, ethnicity and age characteristics of all households. Data are then linked to property level Zoopla rental listings, Land Registry/Registers of Scotland transactions and energy performance statistics to link household characteristics to properties occupied before and after moves.

Results provide annual nationwide updates of neighbourhood household structure, ethnicity and demography that, subject to disclosure controls, can be honed to any convenient geography. They are validated against decennial census statistics and compared with midyear population estimates. Linkage to external datasets enables further external validation of methods used to infer moves and plug known omissions in the registers. Application of individual level demographic models makes it possible to model household structure and individual ethnic, age and gender characteristics. Summary linked and annually updated research ready datasets pertaining to neighbourhood residential churn, ethnicity, distances of residential moves housing careers and domestic energy usage are then produced.

The research is an ambitious linkage of individual and property level consumer and administrative datasets. Individual level linkage and modelling provides analytical flexibility in research ready data creation, and data linkage can be expedited for any period for which name and address data are available.

Authors: Fonseca-Pedrero Eduardo , Pérez-Albéniz Alicia , Díez-Gómez Adriana , Al-Halabí Susana , Lucas-Molina Beatriz , Calvo Pilar
Published: September 2023

Mental health problems and psychological adjustment difficulties among young people are emerging as a personal, family, educational, social, and health challenge. It is necessary to address this emerging social defiance by studying and implementing strategies to promote emotional well-being and prevent psychological problems in educational contexts. The aim of this work is to highlight, based on the epidemiological data derived from the PSICE (Evidence-based Psychology in Educational Contexts) project, the importance of addressing mental health in school settings. First, an introduction to the study of human behavior and psychological adjustment problems is given. Secondly, the importance of educational centers as the natural place to promote the psychological well-being and child and adolescent mental health is discussed. Thirdly, the prevalence results derived from the PSICE study are mentioned. To conclude, a summary section highlights the imperative need to promote, protect, and care for mental health during childhood and adolescence in educational settings. The promotion of psychological well-being and the prevention of mental health problems in educational contexts are the best investments on the part of societies, governments, and institutions.
Inovação social e economia compartilhada sem fins lucrativos: aproximações conceituais e práticas
Authors: Souza Ana Clara Aparecida Alves de , Pereira Bruna Tkatch
Published: September 2023

Com base na leitura de publicações envolvendo os temas de Inovação Social e Economia Compartilhada, conseguimos encontrar aproximações conceituais e práticas. Ações inovadoras, movidas por um propósito social podem se conectar com a economia de compartilhamento que não visa fins lucrativos. Esse novo tipo de economia surge em resposta ao hiperconsumo, que incita a sociedade a comprar cada vez mais. Na sua essência, a economia compartilhada se opõe ao pensamento de compra e posse de bens de consumo que poderão se tornar ociosos na maior parte do tempo. Há iniciativas que aproximam os dois conceitos, apresentando uma maneira de resolver algum problema social utilizando premissas da economia compartilhada, como o uso de tecnologias para conectar pessoas. Os resultados desta pesquisa indicam as aproximações conceituais dos dois temas, ilustrando-as em dois estudos de caso.

Autoria indevida e assimetrias na produção intelectual em administração
Authors: Serralvo Francisco Antonio
Published: September 2023

A parceria musical de John Lennon e Paul McCartney, responsável por aproximadamente 180 canções, destaca-se na história da música, mas também suscita reflexões sobre autoria e colaboração. O exemplo lança luzes para reflexão na academia, a atribuição indevida de autoria em trabalhos acadêmicos gera distorções prejudiciais. Esse problema, de certa forma originado pelo produtivismo acadêmico, ligado a métricas de avaliação e pressões institucionais, resulta no aumento artificial da produção intelectual gerando pressão nos docentes. A prática de autoria indevida inclui autor fantasma, autor convidado, autor presenteado e autor honorário, comprometendo a integridade científica e a credibilidade da pesquisa. Além disso, mina a confiança e a colaboração na comunidade científica, prejudicando a carreira dos pesquisadores genuinamente envolvidos. Para solucionar esse problema, diretrizes de autoria transparentes e procedimentos de verificação são necessários, fortalecendo a qualidade e a confiabilidade da pesquisa acadêmica. A ética na autoria é essencial para manter a integridade acadêmica, promover a colaboração genuína e fortalecer a confiança pública na ciência.
Merkityksellinen oppiminen luokanopettajakoulutuksen historian pedagogiikan opinnoissa

Analyysissä opiskelijoiden merkitykselliset oppimiskokemukset jakautuivat kolmeen merkityskategoriaan. Merkitykselliset oppimiskokemukset painottuivat erityisesti kokonaisvaltaiseen opettajuuden kehittymiseen ja vähäisemmin itse historian opettamiseen ja oppimiseen.
Abstract
This article examines meaningful learning experiences in pedagogical courses focusing on history and social studies as part of class teacher education at the University of Jyväskylä. These courses are part of the 60 ects in multidisciplinary and cross-curricular pedagogical studies that qualify class teachers to work in basic education. This study is based on a model for meaningful learning experiences developed through curriculum reform in the department of teacher education. In this study the model has been used to strengthen the competence of teacher students in historical thinking as they design and implement learning projects during the first year of class teacher education. The course objectives are to develop skills in historical thinking and to be able to research the development of these skills through the design and implementation of learning projects. The data (N=56) consist of texts describing meaningful learning experiences written by the class teacher students as part of the course. In the analysis, the students’ meaningful learning experiences were divided into three categories. The findings indicate that meaningful learning experiences for the student teachers emphasize overall teacher development with the teaching and learning of history receiving less emphasis. These findings help to consider how this model can be further developed and in particular the role of history studies within class teacher education.

Tarkastelemme artikkelissa lukionuorten tapoja hahmottaa ekologisesti kestävää tulevaisuuden yhteiskuntaa. Tutkimusaineistona toimivat nuorten tuottamat utooppiset kuvitelmat kestävästä yhteiskunnasta 2040-luvulla. Aineistonanalyysi osoitti, että lukionuoret kuvailevat ekologisesti kestävää ihannetulevaisuutta kolmen eri puhetavan eli kehyksen kautta. Tekninen kehys, arvokehys ja vastuukehys asettavat tulevaisuuden tarkastelulle eri lähtökohdat, jotka sekä rajoittavat että avaavat mahdollisuuksia tulevaisuuden kuvitteluun. Kehykset eivät nuorten puhetavoissa ilmenneet yhtäaikaisesti, vaan ne ilmenivät ekologisuuden eri osa-alueita pohdittaessa. Ekologisesti kestävää tulevaisuutta edistävässä lukio-opetuksessa eri kehysten tulisi kuitenkin kietoutua toisiinsa. Ehdotamme, että utooppinen kuvittelu voi paljastaa tiettyjä kehysten välisiä puutteita ja siten edistää kokonaisvaltaiseen ymmärrykseen tähtäävän ympäristökasvatuksen kehittymistä.

 

Abstract

In this article, we look at the ways in which young people in upper secondary schools envisage an ecologically sustainable society in the future. The research data will be based on the utopian visions of a sustainable city in the 2040s produced by young people. The analysis of the data showed that upper secondary school students describe an ecologically sustainable ideal future through three different frames. The technical frame, the value frame and the responsibility frame set different starting points for looking at the future, which both limit and open up possibilities for imagining the future. The frames did not appear simultaneously, but emerged in the context of reflecting on different aspects of ecology. However, the different frames should be intertwined in secondary education for an ecologically sustainable future. We suggest that utopian imagination can reveal certain gaps between different frames and thus contribute to the development of holistic environmental education.
Characteristic of Anatomical Variations in Paranasal Sinus CT-Scan of Chronic Rhinosinusitis Patients at the ENT Clinic Prof. Dr. I.G.N.G Ngoerah General Hospital Denpasar in 2021

Background: Anatomical variations and pathological processes in the nose and paranasal sinuses have been widely studied by experts. Many anatomical variations cause chronic sinusitis by causing obstruction of the osteomeatal complex (OMC) and influencing mucociliary transport patterns.
Methods: This is a retrospective study based on radiology data of all rhinosinusitis cases that performed a computed tomography scan of the paranasal sinuses at Prof. Dr. I.G.N.G Ngoerah General Hospital Denpasar for one year (January 2021 to December 2021). The sample of this study was all rhinosinusitis patients undergoing surgery, both male and female, from January 1 to December 31, 2021.
Results: Based on the results of the research data, the highest anatomical variation was concha hypertrophy in as many as 26 people (38.2%).
Conclusion: The most common anatomic variation is concha hypertrophy. Preoperative CT scan examination is essential because it can be helpful as navigation for sinus surgeons. Early detection of anatomic variations is the key for surgical planning and the prevention of complications.
Citizen Participation in Natural Resource Governance: A Case of Oil in South Sudan
Authors: Kibe Esther , Nzomo Maria , Jonyo Fred
Published: September 2023

South Sudan has immense economic potential in its natural resource wealth, such as oil. Nevertheless, the resources have not been utilised towards development. Instead, it has experienced resource conflicts that compromise the continent's peace and security. This paper evaluates the role of citizen participation in natural resource governance in South Sudan and its impacts on oil governance. The paper hypothesises that citizen participation is critical in natural resource governance and a vital tool for promoting peace and security in societies. It argues from the perspective of natural resource conflicts and governance. It asserts that citizen participation addresses negative aspects such as corruption, lack of transparency and accountability, gender discrimination, and ethnic polarisation. It argues that there is a great need to enhance structures that support citizen participation towards effective governance of resources and, hence, sustainable peace. The paper adopted the mixed-methods research methodology.
CONCEPÇÕES DE PRÁTICAS DOCENTES NAS INTERLOCUÇÕES COM A PEDAGOGIA DA AUTONOMIA

Published: September 2023

O artigo apresenta as concepções de licenciandos em pedagogia e em letras sobre o “bom professor” e propõe interlocuções com os ideais freireanos presentes na obra Pedagogia da Autonomia: saberes necessários à prática educativa. O objetivo foi compreender como essas concepções dialogam com as propostas apresentadas por Freire (1996). O percurso metodológico se caracterizou por uma abordagem qualitativa, cujos dados foram obtidos por meio da utilização da ferramenta Google Forms. Vinte estudantes de uma universidade pública da Bahia participaram da pesquisa. A análise dos dados possibilitou o destaque de cinco categorias: a) professor humano; b) professor que sabe ensinar o conteúdo; c) professor compreensivo/ que entende as dificuldades dos/das estudantes; d) professor que ensina e aprende; e) professor que ama o que faz. Os resultados apontaram que embora os participantes tenham caracterizado o “bom professor” como um profissional que valorize o diálogo, o respeito e as boas relações, há que se considerar que esta caracterização não se configura como acabada, devido à complexidade do que o “ser professor” representa.

The purpose of this manuscript is to describe the clinical-pathological aspects of cardiac hypertrophy related to the presence of Corynebacterium spp. in three Didelphis albiventris cubs. In necropsy, macroscopically, in the heart, cardiomegaly, concentric hypertrophy of the ventricles and the ventricular septum were observed, with consequent reduction of the chamber. Microscopically, the primary lesions found in the heart were cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and necrosis, myocytolysis, and the presence of myriad basophilic bacteria. Liver fragments and endocardial swabs were sent for bacterial culture, in which pleomorphic Gram-positive rods grew, forming small and hemolytic colonies. Chemical tests demonstrated characteristics compatible with Corynebacterium spp. Thus, this report represents the first description of cardiac hypertrophy associated with Corynebacterium spp. in white-eared opossums cubs, representing an essential contribution to studying diseases in wild animals.
