Published: March 2023

Background

SARS-CoV-2 rapid antigen testing (RAT) could be a useful supplementary test to diagnose larger numbers of acute asymptomatic infections and alleviate the limitations of polymerase chain reaction testing. However, hesitancy to undergo SARS-CoV-2 RAT may compromise its implementation.

Objective

We aimed to understand the prevalence and correlates of hesitancy to undergo RAT among adults not infected with SARS-CoV-2 in mainland China.

Methods

A nationwide cross-sectional survey on hesitancy to undergo SARS-CoV-2 RAT was conducted among adults not infected with SARS-CoV-2 in mainland China between April 29, 2022, and May 10, 2022. Participants completed an online questionnaire that covered the following COVID-19–related factors: sociodemographic characteristics, experiences of COVID-19 restrictions and knowledge of COVID-19, and attitude toward COVID-19 and its screening. This study was a secondary analysis of data from the survey. We compared the characteristics of participants by hesitancy to undergo SARS-CoV-2 RAT. Thereafter, logistic regression with a sparse group minimax concave penalty was used to identify correlates of hesitancy to undergo RAT.

Results

We recruited 8856 individuals with diverse demographic, socioeconomic, and geographic characteristics in China. Eventually, 5388 participants (valid response rate of 60.84%; 52.32% [2819/5388] women; median age 32 years) were included in the analysis. Among the 5388 participants, 687 (12.75%) expressed hesitancy to undergo RAT and 4701 (87.25%) were willing to undergo RAT. Notably, those who were from the central region (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 1.815, 95% CI 1.441-2.278) and those who received COVID-19 information from traditional media (aOR 1.544, 95% CI 1.279-1.863) were significantly more likely to report hesitancy to undergo RAT (both P<.001). However, those who were women (aOR 0.720, 95% CI 0.599-0.864), were older (aOR 0.982, 95% CI 0.969-0.995), had postgraduate education (aOR 0.612, 95% CI 0.435-0.858), had children (<6 years old) and elders (>60 years old) in the family (aOR 0.685, 95% CI 0.510-0.911), had better knowledge about COVID-19 (aOR 0.942, 95% CI 0.916-0.970), and had mental health disorders (aOR 0.795, 95% CI 0.646-0.975) were less likely to report hesitancy to undergo RAT.

Conclusions

Hesitancy to undergo SARS-CoV-2 RAT was low among individuals who were not yet infected with SARS-CoV-2. Efforts should be made to improve the awareness and acceptance of RAT among men, younger adults, individuals with a lower education or salary, families without children and elders, and individuals who access COVID-19 information via traditional media. In a reopening world, our study could inform the development of contextualized mass screening strategies in general and the scale-up of RAT in particular, which remains an indispensable option in emergency preparedness.

Published: March 2023

BACKGROUND

Thoracic surgery is a mainstay of therapy for lung cancer and other chronic pulmonary conditions, but recovery is often complicated. Digital systems to monitor postoperative symptom burden have been developed; however, barriers to routine clinical implementation remain, particularly in complex and vulnerable populations.

OBJECTIVE

This study sought to determine end-user (patient) barriers and facilitators of using an electronic patient-reported outcome (ePRO) monitoring platform designed to detect complications from thoracic surgery post-discharge.

METHODS

A subset of patients who were planned for thoracic surgery and participated in a study on ePROs (n=16) underwent semi-structured interviews, which were analyzed using thematic content analysis and iterative team-based coding. Themes were mapped onto the three domains of the COM-B model of behavior framework (Capability, Opportunity, and Motivation). ePRO design and implementation improvements to respond to these themes were identified.

RESULTS

Analysis demonstrated seven dominant themes reported by ePRO participants. These included barriers (postoperative patient physical and mental health, lack of access to email and poor internet connectivity, lack of clarity on ePRO use in routine clinical care, and symptom item redundancy) and facilitators (ease of the ePRO assessment completion, engagement with the surgical care team on ePRO use, and increased awareness of symptom experience through ePRO use). The following ePRO intervention design improvements were identified: offering alternatives to web-based completion, tailoring symptom assessments to individual patients, and the need for patient-facing materials explaining the link of ePROs to other systems for perioperative care.

CONCLUSIONS

ePROs have the promise of improved care outcomes for postoperative patients. Addressable barriers and facilitators to implementation in the thoracic surgical patient population have been identified. Future work on testing the impact of intervention design improvements on implementation outcomes of feasibility and acceptability is ongoing.

Published: March 2023

BACKGROUND

The seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 infection in the French population was estimated with a representative, repeated cross-sectional survey based on residual sera from routine blood testing. These data contained no information on infection or vaccination status, thus limiting the ability to detail changes observed in the immunity level of the population over time.

OBJECTIVE

Our aim is to predict the infected or vaccinated status of individuals in the French serosurveillance survey based only on the results of serological assays. Reference data on longitudinal serological profiles of seronegative, infected, and vaccinated individuals from another French cohort were used to build the predictive model.

METHODS

A model of individual vaccination or infection status with respect to SARS-CoV-2 obtained from a machine learning procedure was proposed based on 3 complementary serological assays. This model was applied to the French nationwide serosurveillance survey from March 2020 to March 2022 to estimate the proportions of the population that were negative, infected, vaccinated, or infected and vaccinated.

RESULTS

From February 2021 to March 2022, the estimated percentage of infected and unvaccinated individuals in France increased from 7.5% to 16.8%. During this period, the estimated percentage increased from 3.6% to 45.2% for vaccinated and uninfected individuals and from 2.1% to 29.1% for vaccinated and infected individuals. The decrease in the seronegative population can be largely attributed to vaccination.

CONCLUSIONS

Combining results from the serosurveillance survey with more complete data from another longitudinal cohort completes the information retrieved from serosurveillance while keeping its protocol simple and easy to implement.
El necropoder del imperio de la ley: la gestión de la muerte en el primer mundo norteamericano
Authors: Estévez Ariadna
Published: March 2023

El artículo desarrolla las nociones de necropoder del imperio de la ley y la gubernamentalización necropolítica del Estado como formas específicas de necropoder en América del Norte. A partir de la gubernamentalidad de Achille Mbembe y Michel Foucault, la investigadora afirma que en países del tercer mundo como México, el poder estatal se entrelaza con las organizaciones criminales. La fusión del Estado criminal da como resultado instituciones y políticas para la administración de la muerte, lo que a su vez conduce a la reproducción de la acumulación ilegal de capital, la gubernamentalización necropolítica del Estado. Además, basándose en interpretaciones diversas del necropoder en el primer mundo, la autora sostiene que Estados Unidos y Canadá imponen su poder soberano de matar no por encima o por debajo de la ley, sino a través de ella. Los países del primer mundo de América del Norte utilizan marcos legales para acumular capital a través de actividades que producen muerte en geografías y espacios específicos a partir de nacionalidad, etnia, raza, clase y género. El capítulo llama a éste necropoder del imperio de la ley. El terreno común en ambos tipos de necropoder es la muerte lucrativa.
Necropoder, gubernamentalidad, y deseo, a partir de la analítica foucaultiana

War in Ukraine: How Did we Get There and is There a Way Out of It?
Authors: Müllerson Rein
Published: March 2023

In 2022 the world has entered into a phase of geopolitical and geo-economic reconfiguration with the emergence of multipolar elements. The armed conflict on the territory of Ukraine is a military phase of a geopolitical standoff between the collective West, embodied mainly by the United States and NATO, and those for whom Western domination is not acceptable, epitomized in that case by Russia. But how did the world, after the Fall of the Berlin Wall and justified expectations of a peaceful future, find itself in a situation where the use of military force has become almost normal, at least until it is used against those Europeans who had chosen the “right side of history”? How and why, towards the end of history, the most important principles of international law became twisted and reinterpreted to such an extent that soon there may not be a last man left to contemplate this end? As history gives some hints about right as well as wrong ways of ending military confrontations, I will try to show in this essay how it all went wrong and what could be done about it.

Carlos V y el derecho indiano
Authors: Cruz Barney Oscar
Published: March 2023

Si bien el derecho indiano está fuertemente vinculado con el derecho castellano, no se puede negar que tomó carácter propio. Una de las formas de consolidar el orden y el gobierno en las Indias fue mediante la compilación y síntesis legislativa, en particular durante el reinado de Carlos V. En dicha época, este monarca impulsó una magna labor legislativa, de la que se destacan la formación de cedularios, como el de Diego de Encinas o el de Vasco de Puga, así como la máxima obra reguladora indiana: la Recopilación de leyes de los reinos de las Indias. Estos esfuerzos compilatorios lograron plasmar las diversas problemáticas imperantes en la época. Ante ello, Carlos V impulsó cambios y avances en cuanto a la legislación del gobierno en la Indias, sobre los bienes de difuntos, el comercio, la jurisprudencia en dichos territorios, entre otros.
Un caso de infracción a la Constitución de Cádiz en la Nueva Galicia. La Audiencia versus los alcaldes
Authors: Ramos Quiroz Francisco
Published: March 2023

La promulgación de la Constitución Política de la Monarquía Española de 1812 significó el inicio de la transición entre el antiguo régimen y uno nuevo, regulado ahora por una ley suprema escrita, con lo que España incursionó en los terrenos del constitucionalismo. Este proceso trajo algunas complicaciones al ponerse en práctica la Constitución. El caso que nos ocupa en este trabajo es el conflicto que se suscitó en 1821 entre la Audiencia de la Nueva Galicia y los alcaldes constitucionales de Guadalajara. Esta problemática guarda relación con uno de los más importantes en materia constitucional en el presente, la justicia constitucional, por lo que se busca abordar las diferencias existentes en la defensa de la Constitución de principios del siglo XIX.
Geopolítica e Inquisición en la Nueva España durante el siglo XVII: españoles y castas ante el delito de protestantismo
Authors: Ruiz Martínez Herlinda
Published: March 2023

Este trabajo analiza, en función de la relación geopolítica-Inquisición, la presencia de españoles y castas asentadas en la Nueva España que abandonaron el catolicismo para adherirse al luteranismo o al calvinismo, ambas derivaciones del protestantismo. De igual forma observa, a través de la historia judicial, el curso que siguieron las causas contra estos sujetos denunciados y enjuiciados por sospechas y herejía protestante a manos del Tribunal del Santo Oficio de México durante el siglo XVII, haciendo hincapié en los posibles agentes que influyeron para que tales personajes se alejaran del catolicismo y abrazaran alguna rama del protestantismo, ubicando geográficamente los sitios donde empezaron los procesos judiciales y con ello percibir si la Inquisición continuó funcionando como un instrumento de la Contrarreforma en la impartición de justicia a seguidores del movimiento iniciado por Martín Lutero en primeras décadas del siglo XVI.

All couples expect a harmonious family or sakinah mawadah warahmah. Ideally to create a household that is sakinah mawadah and warohmah needed a uniform understanding of the rights and obligations between husband and wife. Husband and wife must always carry out their respective obligations in the household. But differently what happened in Syiah Kuala Subdistrict is that the wife did not fulfill her obligations to her husband in the household. In Islamic law, wives should carry out their obligations to serve their husbands, but what happens in Syiah Kuala Subdistrict is that many wives neglect their obligations. This kind of wife is called nusyuz.  The problem that wants to be examined in this study is the first, whether the factors that cause the wife not to fulfill the obligation to the husband in the household in Syiah Kuala Subdistrict, the second, how is the impact and legal consequences for wives who do not fulfill their obligations to husbands in the household in Syiah Kuala Subdistrict. This research uses a case approach (Case Approach) which is to examine cases related to issues in the field. The results in this study do not meanthat the factors that cause the wife not to fulfill her obligations to the husband in Syiah Kuala subdistrict are economic pressure factors, career factors, harmony factors of spousal relationships, and domestic violence factors.  As for the impact that occurs in the field for wives who nusyuz ini is, there is commotion or domestic violence (Domestic Violence), Infidelity, Hated and not dipeayaihusband, and divorce. Then in Islam the legal consequences for the wife who does not fulfill the obligations to her husband ialah become a wife who disobeys or nusyuz towards the husband. In addition, wives like this also do not deserve aliving from the husband.

Dysmenorrhea influences social, physical, and psychological well-being. Dysmenorrhea causes absenteeism from school, insomnia, nervousness, irritability, depression, and other symptoms. Adolescent girl health promotion is a significant component of the major health programs. Hence a study was planned to assess the effectiveness of dried ginger on dysmenorrhea-associated symptoms among adolescent girls at a selected college, Puducherry. Sixty patients who fit into the diagnosis of dysmenorrhea were selected. Six doses of 500 mg of dried ginger were administered for 48 hours, followed by an assessment of pain scores, and the difference was noted. The fact that there was an association between demographic variables and the intensity of the disease was noted. In the pre-test mean pain score level was 5.2 ±1.2. Whereas in the post-test, after the administration of dried ginger, the mean pain score level was 4.1 ±3.97. The effectiveness was statistically tested by paired t-test (t=1.37), which was found to be highly statistically significant at p < 0.001. There is a significant association between Dysmenorrhea associated symptoms with selected demographic variables like Type of family and dietary pattern. Whereas the other demographic variables are not effective with dysmenorrhea-associated symptoms
Effect of an Education Intervention on Knowledge of Junk Foods, Healthy Food Habits Among the School-Going Children at Selected Schools In Chennai, India – A Pre-Experimental Multicentric Trial.
Authors: Mohanram K. Mageswari , C Helen Shaji J
Published: March 2023

Junk food has replaced healthy, nutritious food as a new slogan among school children because it is more tasty, convenient, less expensive, and easier to prepare. However, it has no nutritional value and contains unhealthy ingredients, which pose numerous health risks when consumed regularly. As a result, school children aged 6 to 12 are easily enticed and addicted to junk foods, impacting their growth, concentration, feelings, and behavior. Education intervention regarding common junk foods and their health hazards, as well as methods to promote healthy eating habits, will aid in improving the nutritional status of young minds and curbing junk food addiction. One shot single test pre-experimental design was used to conduct the study among 120 school children at selected schools in Chennai, India, by non-probability homogenous purposive sampling method. Demographic proforma and self-structured questionnaires were used to collect the data from the children. The knowledge was classified into satisfactory(adequate), moderate and inadequate. The education intervention was given to all the students via a structured audio-visual aid. This intervention was given in three stages, and five experts validated the questionnaire. In the pre-test, 32.5% had inadequate knowledge, 67.5% had moderate knowledge, and none had adequate knowledge, but in the post-test, 95.5% of children had adequate knowledge of junk foods and their health hazards, with a significance at P<0.01. Based on the study results, the education intervention was very effective (P<0.01) in improving school children's knowledge of junk foods, their health hazards, and the promotion of healthy food habits.

Design of Motifs Interfacial Interactions by Co-evolved Analysis of D-amino Acid Dehydrogenase for Stability Enhancement
Authors: Ji Zhehui , Zhang Qian , Duan Lingxuan , Dong Lingling , Wang Shizhen
Published: March 2023

To design D-amino acid dehydrogenase (DAADH) for enhanced stability, the
interactions of the subunit interfaces of DAADH were analyzed.
Interaction network analysis of DAADH indicated that there are only weak
interactions between the A and B subunits. Several co-evolved residue
pairs were selected for mutation to enhance interfacial interactions of
subunits, and 11 designed MDHs were obtained. DA06 and DA11 were
selected for experimental verification for their salt bridges are 1.4
and 1.2-fold of that of DAwild, respectively. DA11 can maintain 93%
activity in 80℃, while it was only 40% for DAwild. Thermostabiliy study
indicated the half-life of DA11 was 2-fold of DAwild. Molecular dynamics
simulations revealed that the extraordinary stability of the DA11 was
due to the formation of extra interfacial salt bridges. The paper
provided a strategy of mutations outside the active site of enzyme by
co-evolutionary analysis which can reduce the effect of the
activity-thermostability trade-off.

Published: March 2023

Regional land use change and ecological security have received
considerable attention in recent years. The rapid economic development
of Kunming and Fuzhou has resulted in environmental damage. It is
important to conduct a comparative analysis of the ecological security
response to land use/land cover change (LUCC) in different natural
zones. With the support of Google Earth Engine (GEE) platform, the
random forest and support vector machine methods were used to classify
land cover types in the study area, then the ArcGIS platform was used to
analyze LUCC. The driving force-pressure-state-impact-response (DPSIR)
model and entropy weight method was used to construct an ecological
security evaluation system, and gray correlation was used to compare the
ecological security responses to LUCC in Kunming and Fuzhou. The
findings revealed that: (1) The average dynamic degrees of comprehensive
land use in Kunming and Fuzhou from 1995 to 2020 were 1.05% and 0.55%,
respectively; (2) From 1995 to 2020, the ecological security index
values for Kunming and Fuzhou increased from 0.42 to 0.52 and from 0.36
to 0.68, respectively, indicating that Fuzhou’s index is rising more
quickly; and (3) The response of ecological security to LUCC varies
across regions; increases in the woodland area had a positive effect on
the ecological security of Kunming and Fuzhou, whereas the expansion of
construction land significantly impeded the improvement of ecological
security in Fuzhou, and the status of water resources had a significant
impact on the ecological security of Kunming.

Non-invasive deep brain stimulation is a novel field of research that
aims to affect deep brain regions’ activity through non-invasive
stimulation. Recent computational and clinical findings have fostered
the interest on transcranial direct current stimulation as non-invasive
deep brain stimulation techniques, and several optimization strategies
have been tested. Multi-electrode transcranial direct current
stimulation has shown the potential to selectively affect deep brain
structures. Here, we assess whether arbitrarily chosen monopolar
multi-electrode transcranial direct current stimulation montages might
selectively affect deep brain structures through computational
predictions and neurophysiological assessment. Electric field
distribution in deep brain structures (i.e., thalamus and midbrain) were
estimated through computational models simulating transcranial direct
current stimulation with two monopolar and two monopolar multi-electrode
montages. Monopolar multi-electrode transcranial direct current
stimulation was then applied to healthy subject, and effects on pontine
and medullary circuitries was evaluated studying changes in blink reflex
and masseter inhibitory reflex. Computational results suggest that
transcranial direct current stimulation with monopolar multi-electrode
montages might induce electric field intensities in deep brain structure
comparable to those in grey matter, while neurophysiological results
disclosed that blink reflex and masseter inhibitory reflex were
selectively modulated by transcranial direct current stimulation only
when cathode was placed over the right deltoid. Therefore,
multi-electrode transcranial direct current stimulation (anodes over
motor cortices, cathode over right deltoid) could induce significant
electric fields in the thalamus and midbrain, and selectively affect
brainstem neural circuits. Such strategy should be further explored in
the context of non-invasive deep brain stimulation.
Approximation by Szász-Baskakov operators based on Boas-Buck-type polynomials
Authors: Sofyalıoğlu Melek , Kanat Kadir
Published: March 2023

This paper concerns with a generalization of Sz?sz-Baskakov operators,
which includes Boas-Buck-type polynomials. The convergence properties are
studied in weighted space and the rate of convergence is obtained by using
weighted modulus of continuity. A Voronovskaya-type theorem is investigated.
Also, the theoretical results are demonstrated by choosing the particular
cases of Boas-Buck-type polynomials, namely Appell polynomials, Hermite
polynomials, Gould-Hopper polynomials, Laguerre polynomials and Charlier
polynomials.
Existence, compactness, estimates of eigenvalues and s-numbers of a resolvent for a linear singular operator of the Korteweg-de Vries type
Authors: Muratbekov M.B. , Suleimbekova A.O.
Published: March 2023

In this paper, we consider a linear operator of the Korteweg-de Vries type
Lu = ?u ?y + R2(y)?3u ?x3 + R1(y)?u ?x + R0(y)u initially defined on C?
0,?(??), where ?? = {(x, y) : ?? ? x ? ?,?? < y < ?}. C? 0,?(??) is a set of
infinitely differentiable compactly supported function with respect to a
variable y and satisfying the conditions: u(i) x (??, y) = u(i) x (?, y), i
= 0, 1, 2. With respect to the coefficients of the operator L , we assume
that these are continuous functions in R(??,+?) and strongly growing
functions at infinity. In this paper, we proved that there exists a bounded
inverse operator and found a condition that ensures the compactness of the
resolvent under some restrictions on the coefficients in addition to the
above conditions. Also, two-sided estimates of singular numbers (s-numbers)
are obtained and an example is given of how these estimates allow finding
estimates of the eigenvalues of the considered operator.
On the uniqueness of solutions of Duhamel equations
Authors: Tapdigoglu Ramiz
Published: March 2023

We consider the Duhamel equation ? ? f = g in the subspace C? xy = {f ? C?
([0, 1] ? [0, 1]) : f (x, y) = F (xy) for some F ? C? [0, 1] of the
space C? ([0, 1] ? [0, 1]) and prove that if ? pxy=0, 0, then this equation
is uniquely solvable in C? x y. The commutant of the restricted double
integration operator Wxy f (xy) := ?x 0 ?y 0 f (t?) d?dt on C? x y is
also described. Some other related questions are also discussed.
On the roots of Fibonacci polynomials
Authors: Birol Furkan , Koruoğlu Özden
Published: March 2023

In this paper, we investigate Fibonacci polynomials as complex hyperbolic functions. We examine the roots of these polynomials. Also, we give some exciting identities about images of the roots of Fibonacci polynomials under another member of the Fibonacci polynomials class. Finally, we obtain some excellent relationships between the roots of Fibonacci polynomials and the modular group, Hecke groups and generalized Hecke groups with geometric interpretations.
On the mixed multifractal densities and regularities with respect to gauges
Authors: Ben Mabrouk , Menceur Mohamed , Selmi Bilel
Published: March 2023

In this paper, we are concerned with some density estimations of
vector-valued measures in the framework of the so-called mixed multifractal
analysis. We precisely consider some Borel probability measures that are no
longer Gibbs and introduce some mixed multifractal generalizations of
densities in a framework of relative mixed multifractal analysis. Results on
multifractal regularities are developed in the new framework.
Bayani, Burhani And Irfani's Approach In Ijtihad Jama’i In The Muhammadiyah Pandemic Covid-19 Emergency Fiqh
Authors: Nikmah Nikmah
Published: March 2023

Covid-19 had shocked the world because it became a global pandemic in a short time, including in Indonesia.  To counteract the spread, the government through the Ministry of Health has released guidelines for the prevention of Covid-19. These guidelines include recommendations for wearing masks, physical distancing, and not leaving the house, especially for areas with high transmission rates. This has an impact on Muslim worship activities including congregational prayers at mosques and mushalla, so a quick response is needed for this. The Muhammadiyah Tarjih and Tajdid Council, one of the fatwa institutions that was quick to respond to this incident, immediately released several fatwas. The guide was produced through an ijtihad jama’I which was not only attended by Muhammadiyah scholars but also experts from the health sector, by implementing the bayani, burhani, and irfani approaches. The purpose of this writing is to find out how the Tarjih and Tajdid Assembly implements these three approaches in determining the fiqh law of a pandemic emergency, especially in the fatwa of canceling congregational prayers, praying at a distance and praying while wearing a mask. To reach this goal the author uses library research using a descriptive analysis approach to describe the results of the author's analysis. The results of this study state that in these fatwas the bayani, burhani and irfani approaches are used in an integrative, complementary, and perfecting way, not used separately which makes the practical benefits of the three cannot be achieved optimally.
The Law on Medicines That Intersect Haram Materials with Istihalah Rule
Authors: Zuhdy Mukhlish , Rizka Rizka , Muthoifin Muthoifin
Published: March 2023

Islam prescribes treatment because it is part of the protection and health care which is part of maintaining adh dharuriyuat al khams. In an effort to seek healing, it is obligatory to use treatment methods that do not violate the shari’a. Medicines used for medical purposes must use pure and halal ingredients. The use of unclean or forbidden ingredients in medicine is illegal except for shar’i emergencies (dharurat syar’iyah). Medicines that touch unclean or forbidden substances mean using something that is forbidden. One of the rules used to determine whether a medicine product is halal or haram is the rules of Istihalah. This is what makes researchers interested in discussing the study of Medicine Laws that Intersect Haram Substances with the Rules of Istihalah. This type of research is descriptive qualitative research with library study data collection methods. This reserach uses the Istihalah theory. The results of this research are; First: Medicines that encounter unclean or haram ingredients undergo istihalah, so that the final product does not contain any elements that are haram. Second: Medicines that experience terms of law are holy (mubah), except if the ingredients used come from pigs, the law becomes haram (forbidden). Because pigs are dirty animals, they should not be used for making medicine. Third: The use of medicines that contact pigs is permitted in a syar'iy emergency (dharurat syar’iyah).

Published: March 2023

Pupils’ Academic Performance is a challenge in public primary schools in Ndorwa County-Kabale District in Uganda. The research sought for views of different stakeholders in primary education parental roles in pupils’ learning. Specifically, how parents’ support to pupils may be a solution to poor performance of pupils from selected primary schools in Ndorwa County-Kabale District in Uganda. The study used cross-sectional survey design as the basis for collecting and analyzing both qualitative and quantitative data. A sample size of 322 respondents was derived from a population of 2000 using purposive and simple random sampling. The research data got analyzed in form of frequencies, percentages, means, and standard deviations. Qualitative data was analyzed using content analysis, quotations, and thematic analysis. The results revealed that students from highly involved family members significantly outperformed those with family members who were not involved according to scores of PLE, class 7. Furthermore, parental roles had a positive relationship on pupils’ academic performance at school. The low-income levels of some parents and attitudes towards education were the main challenge. In order to reduce pupils’ poor academic performance, the study recommended that, parents’ supportive resourcefulness in conjunction with pupils’ academic performance, government of Uganda should create policies that ensure parental involvement, and community partnership programs to empower parents and support Children’s education. The practice of parents’ supportive resourcefulness in pupils’ studies needs to be in tandem with deliberations from the ministry of education policies, district education officer’s regulations and schools’ administration directives. Parents need to check their contribution to pupils with schools’ advice.
