Self-Efficacy of Dietetics Educators Preparing to Implement a New National Education Model
Authors: Millikan Janet , Arendt Susan
Published: May 2023

Purpose: The Future Education Model (FEM) was introduced in 2017 and included changes to the existing dietetics education model, such as a shift in degree requirements and a change in Accreditation Standards based on competency-based programming. Starting in 2019, dietetics educators could apply to begin implementing the FEM at their institutions. Social Cognitive Theory (SCT) served as the framework for this research. SCT can be used to understand individuals’ motivations in various contexts, including workplace environments like higher education. Self-efficacy is one component of SCT; self-efficacy in dietetics educators may be an important indicator of potential success implementing the mandatory FEM. The purpose of this study was to 1) determine dietetics educators’ self-efficacy towards implementing the FEM, and 2) compare self-efficacy scores based on demographic characteristics. Methods: A reliable and valid online questionnaire was developed and emailed to 520 dietetics directors in the United States. Frequencies, mean scores, and standard deviations were calculated for self-efficacy items; self-efficacy indicates potential to meet demands of implementing the FEM. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to analyze differences between job title, age, years in higher education, and dietetics educator general self-efficacy. Results: There were 161 dietetics directors who responded (31% response rate). Dietetics directors’ mean total self-efficacy scores indicated self-efficacy towards implementing the FEM across all positions, age groups, and years in higher education. One-way ANOVA results indicated no significant differences between director age nor years in higher education and total mean self-efficacy scores, but there was a significant difference between graduate program directors’ (M=63.50, SD = 11.24) and internship directors’ (53.41, SD = 6.91) mean total self-efficacy scores (p < 0.05). Conclusions: Participants in this study were generally self-efficacious regarding implementing the FEM, a possible predictor of successful implementation when the time comes to making program changes and implementing these necessary changes.

Published: May 2023

Purpose: Evidence-based practice (EBP) integrates the best evidence from research, clinician expertise, and patient preferences and values to deliver the highest quality of care to improve patient outcomes. Occupational therapy (OT), physical therapy (PT), and rehabilitation students gain exposure to EBP through both didactic and experiential learning. The differences in cultural, educational systems, and student learning styles between the United States and China may lead to different students’ perceptions and attitudes towards EBP. The purpose of the study was to characterize and compare the perceptions of and attitudes towards EBP between the U.S. and Chinese OT and PT students. Methods: A cross-sectional survey of the Evidence-Based Practice Process Assessment Scale (EBPPAS) was sent to professional students enrolled in Doctor of Occupational Therapy (OTD), Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT), and Master of Occupational Therapy (MOT) programs at three universities in the U.S. (n=1,062) and OT, PT, and rehabilitation students of four-year bachelor programs at four universities in China (n=1,017). Students’ perception of the overall and individual domain of EBP was compared between the U.S. and China with independent samples t-test. Results: In general, all students showed a positive attitude towards EBP across the five domains. The U.S. DPT students had the highest mean score of 3.90 in the domain of “attitude about EBP” followed by the U.S. MOT students (mean=3.88), and the U.S. OTD students (mean=3.84). On average, the U.S. students scored 0.44 (13.8%) higher than Chinese students in all domains combined. Responses from both countries showed the highest scores in the domain of “attitude about EBP” followed by “familiarity with EBP” and “intention to engage in EBP”. In addition, the overall mean score increased non-significantly by 0.07 for the U.S. students from 1st year to 3rd year while it increased significantly by 0.15 (pnd year to 4th year. Conclusion: Few research studies have compared professional students’ attitudes towards EBP between the U.S. and China. This study demonstrated that the U.S. students were more positive overall and in all five domains. Future studies may focus on novice ways to promote EBP in didactic teaching and in clinical practice.

Authors: Rind Ghulam Kubra , Shah Nadia , Inam Sumera
Published: May 2023

Background: Oral health inequalities are becoming a major threat to public health, and they excessively burden disadvantaged communities, especially within low and middle-income countries. This study explored the socioeconomic inequalities in self-perceived oral health behaviors among college-going students in Karachi, Pakistan. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 328 college-going students using a convenient sampling technique from three different socioeconomic groups including urban slums, middle, and rich class neighborhoods. Oral health was assessed using three measures: daily tooth brushing, weekly sweet consumption, and substance abuse. Socio-economic inequalities were measured using binary logistic regression (odds ratios), relative index of inequality, and slope index of inequality. Results: Out of 328 participants, 56.4% perceived their oral health as fair, 24.1% good, 14.9% poor, while only 4.6% had an excellent perception of oral health. Significant inequalities were found regarding oral health behaviours with fraternal income, occupation, and education level. Education-related absolute inequalities among college-going students were1.28(95% CI -2.19, -0.36 p-value<0.01), -1.34(95% CI -2.16, -0.52, p-value<0.01), -1.43(95% CI -2.70, -0.15, p-value<0.01) with tooth brushing, high sweet consumption, and substance abuse respectively. Similarly, income and occupation-related absolute inequalities were also existent. Conclusions: In Pakistan, data among college-going students regarding oral healthcare is scarce. Significant inequalities were found in oral health behaviours among college-going students. Thus, there is a need to design equity-based health system provisions specifically to address the needs of poor segments of society.

Authors: Cage Stephen , Warner Brandon , Gallegos Diana , Cage Heidi , Brown Diane
Published: May 2023

Purpose: After the widespread transmission of the novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19, the first COVID-19 vaccination received emergency use authorization in the United States in December of 2020. Current research has shown the authorized COVID-19 vaccines to be safe and effective at preventing severe illness. At the time of this study, there appears to be no published research on the attitudes and receipt of COVID-19 vaccinations among occupational therapy professionals and students. The purpose of this study is to describe the attitudes and receipt of COVID-19 vaccinations among occupational therapy professionals and students in early 2021. Methods: A total of 114 occupational therapy professionals and students (age= 41 ± 15, years of certified experience = 13 ± 13) opened the survey link and completed the instrument. Participants were sent an electronic survey via email that collected demographic information and assessed attitudes and receipt of COVID-19 vaccination. Data was downloaded and analyzed using a commercially available statistics package. Results: The majority of occupational therapy professionals in this study agreed on some level that they were comfortable (Strongly Agree = 36.0%, Agree = 16.7%, Somewhat Agree = 10.5%). Most occupational therapy professionals and students stated they had or would receive a COVID-19 vaccination. The majority of participants reported personal, household, and community safety as the primary considerations for receiving a COVID-19 vaccination. In general, these factors were a larger factor for participants than public perception or personal liberties being infringed upon. Conclusions: The findings of this study suggest a majority of occupational therapy professionals and students are comfortable with the current level of approvals for available COVID-19 vaccinations, and at the time of the survey had or intending to be vaccinated. As occupational therapy professionals and students continue to work in day-to-day patient care, it is imperative to consider the best means of educating occupational therapy professionals and students on the potential benefits of COVID-19 vaccinations.

A business, both on a large scale and micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) should apply accounting principles in managing financial reports. So that through the implementation of good financial reporting, business owners get information, to be able to formulate strategies and can be used as a basis for decision making. However, not all business owners apply accounting principles due to limited knowledge. The same thing happened to a partner, namely Mr. Sarwo Wibowo (35 years), a business owner in the field of organic fertilizer located in Dusun 2A, Baru Village, Pancur Batu District, Deli Serdang Regency. Since the business was operating, the partner has never made financial records in accordance with accounting standards. One of the impacts is that there is no separation of business finances from household finances. In addition to problems in the field of accounting, partners also experience marketing limitations. Through this Community Service (PKM) activity, the team conducted socialization, training and assistance in the preparation of business bookkeeping to partners as well as exposure to marketing strategies (business development). This training and mentoring aims to assist partners in managing their business so that the accounting and marketing knowledge can later be used as the basis for formulating strategies and making decisions.

Personal protective equipment (PPE) is very necessary when working, one of which is a workplace that requires gloves, namely workshop mechanics. One of the PPE needed by workshop mechanics is gloves. Even though it's not like masks are always required to be used to avoid exposure to heavy metals, gloves are considered to be able to protect themselves from exposure to heavy metals. Pb (Lead) is a heavy metal. Exposure to Lead (Pb) is closely related to its accumulation in body tissues which causes disruption of physiological processes both directly and indirectly at the molecular level. Lead can cause chronic effects due to lead entering through the respiratory tract, nails, skin which enters the body and digestive tract and then spreads into the blood and will inhibit heme synthesis. As a result, Pb can reduce blood Hb production which can result in the emergence of other health problems. Therefore hand protection needs to be used by people who need more protection such as tire patchers who handle motorbike repairs. Gloves have many benefits for protecting mechanics working in workshops. The main purpose of giving gloves is to protect the hands of the tire patcher when working in a workshop where the nails have the potential to be exposed to heavy metals. After distributing these gloves, it is hoped that they will be able to suppress or minimize the exposure of workshop mechanics to heavy metals, in addition to educating mechanics and workshop entrepreneurs about the importance of maintaining and protecting themselves while doing work.

Tingkat Non Revenue Water (NRW) pada Perusahaan Umum Daerah (Perumda) Air Minum Tirta Raharja Kabupaten Bandung sebesar 27,20% (Perumda Tirta Raharja, 2021). Hal ini menyebabkan kehilangan pendapatan akibat NRW sebesar Rp.53.311.321.636,5,- pada tahun 2021. Salah satu upaya penurunan NRW yang telah dilakukan oleh Perumda Air Minum Tirta Raharja adalah membentuk 36 District Meter Area (DMA). Pada penelitian ini dipilih DMA Norogtog karena memiliki tingkat NRW tertinggi kedua sebesar 33,41% pada Bulan Januari-April 2022. Pada penelitian ini dilakukan analisis terhadap DMA Norogtog untuk memperoleh strategi peningkatan kinerja DMA. Metode penelitian yang dilakukan berupa analisis DMA yang dilakukan dengan membandingkan kondisi eksisting terhadap kriteria DMA yang ada dalam literatur. Kemudian dilakukan analisis teknik berupa analisis jaringan pipa distribusi pada DMA dilakukan melalui pemodelan menggunakan bantuan software EPANET. Setelah analisis teknis, kemudian dilakukan terhadap strategi peningkatan yang diperoleh, sehingga didapatkan rekomendasi strategi peningkatan DMA. Hasil penelitian didapatkan kondisi eksisting sebagian besar sudah memenuhi kriteria DMA berdasarkan literatur, hanya kriteria tinggi hidraulis pipa yang belum memenuhi kriteria.

The existence of religion and its practices or beliefs do rely greatly on myths. This study attempts to analyse the subconscious of myth through the archetypal and mythical approach by studying the woman characters in the text “The Return” by K.S.Maniam. The women characters in the text represent the image of Hindu Goddesses such as Parvathi and Durga. For the purpose of this article, I have used mythical and archetypal approaches in classifying the characters. I have used Guerin’s (1999) classification of archetypal images of women such as the good mother, the terrible mother and the soul mate. This analysis reveals the representation of the mother as the good mother, the grandmother as the soulmate and the stepmother as the terrible mother. The mother and grandmother represent the image of Goddess Parvathi and the stepmother who is the terrible mother however does also carries the positive aspects of mother, therefore she represents both the Goddess Parvathi and Durga.

Published: May 2023

Near Field Communication (NFC) technology is growing and starting to be used on mobile devices such as smartphones. However, there are still differences in the factors of user perception and acceptance of the use of the NFC system in previous studies. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the influence of factors such as Actual System Use, Attitudes Toward Use, Behavioral Intentions, Perceived Ease of Use, Perceived Safety, Perceived Benefits, and Subjective Norms on user acceptance of the NFC system on smartphone users. in Indonesia. In this study, a quantitative approach was used with the online survey method which was conducted on 150 respondents who use smartphones in Indonesia. Respondents taken are smartphone users who have used NFC technology. The collected data were analyzed using the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) method. The results of the study show that the user's perception of the ease of use and the benefits and safety of using the NFC system has a significant influence on the user's acceptance of using it. However, the subject norm for NFC technology does not have a significant effect on user acceptance. The implication of this research is the importance of paying attention to the factors that influence user perceptions in developing and promoting the use of the NFC system among smartphone users in Indonesia.

Potential of predatory mites to control the western flower thrips Frankliniella occidentalis (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) in Brazil
Authors:   , Cardoso André Costa
Published: May 2023

Western flower thrips Frankliniella occidentalis Pergande (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) is a major invasive pest worldwide and a vector of plant viruses of economic importance. Several biological control agents are efficient in control F. occidentalis and many of them already commercialized by biological control companies around the world. Phytoseiid mites (Acari: Phytoseiidae) are among the most used natural enemies applied in biological control programs of F. occidentalis. Despite the richness of Brazilian phytoseiid fauna, no species are been used in biological control of this pest in Brazil. Therefore, the aim of this study was to select potential native phytoseiid mites to be used in biological control of this pest in Brazil. In the first chapter, it was evaluated the potential of three predatory mites, Amblyseius herbicolus Chant and Amblyseius tamatavensis Blommers and Proprioseiopsis ovatus Garman to control F. occidentalis. Proprioseiopsis ovatus showed low predation and oviposition rate on F. occidentlais first instar larvae and, therefore, this species has a low potential to be used in biological control of this pest. In the other hand, A. herbicolus and A. tamatavensis were capable to develop and reproduce preying on F. occidentalis larvae and, therefore, are promising agents to be used in biological control of F. occidentalis. In the second chapter, it was evaluated the potential of the two predatory mite species, A. tamatavensis and A. herbicolus, to control F. occidentalis on isolated bell pepper plants using pollen as alternative food. Both predatory mites were able to reduce pest population and significantly reduce pest damage. In the third chapter, it was evaluated the potential of A. tamatavensis to control F. occidentalis and simultaneously also other key pest of bell pepper crop, the whitefly Bemisia tabaci. Experiments were conducted on bell pepper plants and were also evaluated plants yield with and without A. tamatavensis. Amblyseius tamatavensis was able to control both pests at the same time and at the end of the experiment, plants that received predatory mites also produced heavier fruits. In conclusion, it was showed that the predatory mites A. tamatavensis and A. herbicolus have potential to be used in biological control programs of the western flower thrips in Brazil. Phytoseiid mites are known to be efficient control agents for this pest in several countries, in addition of being cheap to produce them on a large scale. Therefore, the use of these predators may represent an advance in the management of this pest in the country. Keywords: Biological control. Capsicum annuum. Bemisia tabaci. Alternative food. Pollen.
