Published: October 2024

The increasing need for enhanced security has driven the adoption of AI-powered threat detection in surveillance systems. Traditional surveillance methods, reliant on manual monitoring, are often inefficient in detecting complex, evolving threats in real time. This review proposes a comprehensive real-time data processing framework for AI-powered threat detection in surveillance systems, designed to automate and optimize threat identification, classification, and response. The framework integrates AI algorithms, including machine learning and deep learning models, to analyze vast amounts of surveillance data from various sources such as video feeds, audio recordings, and sensor inputs. It utilizes techniques like object detection, facial recognition, and anomaly detection to identify potential threats, while leveraging stream processing frameworks (e.g., Apache Kafka, Apache Flink) to ensure low-latency, real-time analysis. Edge computing is incorporated to reduce network bottlenecks and enable faster decision-making closer to the data source. The framework also addresses the challenges of high data volume and velocity, as well as the need for scalable, flexible infrastructure. Security measures such as encryption, identity and access management (IAM), and compliance with data privacy regulations ensure that sensitive information is protected. The inclusion of continuous model training allows the system to adapt to emerging threats and reduce false positives and negatives. Case studies from urban environments, critical infrastructure, and law enforcement demonstrate the practical applications and effectiveness of this AI-driven approach. By integrating real-time data processing with advanced AI models, the framework provides a robust solution for improving the efficiency and accuracy of threat detection in modern surveillance systems. This research contributes to the growing field of AI-enhanced security, paving the way for future advancements in intelligent surveillance.

The Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) has catalyzed a profound transformation in business models, driven by the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and other advanced technologies. This paper explores the disruptive impact of AI on traditional business frameworks, emphasizing how organizations leverage 4IR technologies to innovate and remain competitive. AI enhances decision-making processes, optimizes operations, and personalizes customer experiences, fundamentally reshaping value creation. The analysis begins by delineating the key characteristics of AI-driven business models, highlighting their reliance on data analytics, machine learning, and automation. These technologies enable firms to analyze vast datasets, uncover insights, and make informed decisions in real-time. For instance, predictive analytics powered by AI can forecast market trends, allowing businesses to adapt proactively rather than reactively. Moreover, AI facilitates the emergence of new business models such as platform-based ecosystems, subscription services, and collaborative consumption. These models thrive on interconnectedness, leveraging AI to enhance user experiences and streamline operations. The paper provides case studies from various industries, demonstrating successful AI implementations that have resulted in increased efficiency and customer engagement. However, the transition to AI-driven models is not without challenges. Organizations must navigate ethical considerations, data privacy concerns, and the need for workforce reskilling. The paper addresses these challenges, proposing frameworks for responsible AI deployment that align with corporate social responsibility (CSR) principles. In conclusion, AI-driven disruption in business models represents both an opportunity and a challenge for organizations. By embracing 4IR technologies, businesses can innovate and create sustainable competitive advantages. This research contributes to the growing discourse on digital transformation, offering insights into how AI can be harnessed to reimagine business strategies in an increasingly complex and dynamic marketplace.

Authors: 蕭中榮 蕭中榮 , 謝尚賢 謝尚賢
Published: October 2024

舉凡建築物遭致的風險是否終究釀成災害造成損失，皆可以從建築設計圖一探原委。換言之，降臨在建築物的災害事件，也可以被視為是反饋建築設計的實務驗證。本研究應對起因於災害事件演繹出的「避難指引」機制，提出「空間置換」論述；這些是構築在感測、決策、傳達等三階段程序，並且應用空間定位、避難決策、路徑導引等三項技術來達成。前述程序和技術所應對工程實務的整合性，乃基於BIM建築資訊塑模理論，憑藉建築設計來降低避難行為的傷亡率和提升指引系統運作的效益值。歸納而言，本課題演繹出的癥結點有二項：一、營建體系專業分工下的線性執行程序，常未能通透專案全貌，尚需跨域整合的思維。二、對於空間感的體認仍舊停滯在眼見為憑，尚未通達數位環境。因此，本研究的意旨在於突顯；立身於數位時代具備「跨域共構、實虛整合」思維的重要性，方能決戰於建築設計階段，從事件的源頭避免發生災害。Architectural design is a key stage that determines the life cycle of a building. Any risk encountered by a building, whether it results in damage caused by a disaster, can be estimatedbythe designdrawings. In the other words, the disaster event that descends on the building can also be regarded as a practical verification of feedback on architectural design. In order to face the refuge scenario, this study provides a comprehensive discussion of space transformation, which is constructed by a three-stage procedure in detection, decision-making and communication, and three technologies, such as spatial positioning, refuge mechanism and path guidance. Also, BIM (Building Information Modeling) enables the architectural design to improve the survival rate of evacuation and the effectiveness of the refuge indication system. This research intends to promote the importance of cross-field thinking and the sense of cyber-physicalintegrationsothatwecandesigntoavoid disastersat the stage of architectural design.

Published: October 2024

瓷磚是我國常見的外牆飾面，而隨著瓷磚的大量使用，瓷磚剝落的現象也成了外牆常見的劣化現象。在台灣，主要以黏著層發生劣化造成瓷磚零星的剝落居多，為釐清黏著層究竟受到那些因素影響而造成瓷磚剝落，本研究透過探討瓷磚張貼工法中－瓷磚背溝之有無、倒勾形式、抹漿方式及塗抹工具樣式（鏝刀）等因素對於瓷磚黏著強度及接合效果的影響，以進一步釐清造成瓷磚剝落的原因。本研究透過瓷磚拉拔試驗來了解在不同條件設定下瓷磚飾面的黏著效果，經實驗後得知，依照台灣瓷磚外牆既有之施作方式，剝落界面確實容易發生在黏著層，此外瓷磚倒勾設置與否、選擇單面抹漿或是雙面抹漿之黏貼工法的差異、塗佈鏝刀型式的不同與抹縫的施作與否，均會影響外牆瓷磚的接著強度以及瓷磚剝落界面所發生的位置。There have been many public security accidents caused by falling tiles in Taiwan in recent years. In order to solve the phenomenon of tile peeling, this study compared the differences in attached tiles methods between Taiwan and Japan by the tile adhesive pull - out load experiment. According to the results of this experiment, the use of tiles conforming to the CNS (Chinese National Standards) groove shape design and the use of double-sided plastering method can effectively improve the adhesion strength of the wall tile. The application of seam materials on the tiles can also have a good effect. However, the benefit improvement brought by the flat- trowel is not as significant as other projects.

台灣地區相關衛生單位積極投入預防兒童肥胖以及促進步行健康，然欠缺更多元不同層面的探討，因此本研究希望從環境、社會與家長層面的等因素，探討那些原因會影響兒童步行意願進而影響生活品質。因此本研究採用便利抽樣，於桃園縣共抽取五、六年級共459位兒童進行自填式問卷調查，以自編「步行促進因素」以及國民健康署「台灣身體活動量調查－學生自填圖卡短版IPAQ」及Varni博士授權之「生活品質量表」為研究工具收集數據。以相關分析集群分析、t檢定和多元迴歸分析進行資料檢定，結果發現：1.兒童「步行促進因素」中的「號誌影響性」、「父母支持性」、「社會支持性」、「鄰近安全性」等因素對於步行意願具有顯著正向影響。2.高「步行促進因素」環境的兒童的「步行意願性」顯著地高於低「步行促進因素」環境之兒童。3.高「步行促進因素」環境的兒童之每週中度、激烈身體活動量與生活品質顯著地高於低「步行促進因素」環境的兒童。4.高「步行意願性」兒童之每週中度、激烈身體活動量顯著地高於低「步行意願性」兒童。本研究建議在環境規劃部分，增加住宅環境周遭的交通號誌與道路安全性，可以促進兒童的步行意願，例如友善兒童通學步道、具號誌燈的斑馬線等。在衛生教育方面，學校可針對父母及兒童宣導動能通學的好處，以提升兒童的身體活動量及提升生活品質。The official health agency in Taiwan is actively involved in preventing childhood obesity and promoting healthy walking. However, there is a lack of more diverse discussion on the different aspects. Therefore, this study hopes to explore the factors that affect children's willingness to walk and, thus, their quality of life from the perspectives of the environment, society, and parents. Therefore, this study used a convenient sampling method to select 459 students filling out the self-administered questionnaire in grades fifth and sixth in Taoyuan County. Figure and Short version IPAQ'' and ''PedsQL'' authorized by Dr. Varni to collect data as research tools. The data was examined by correlation analysis, cluster analysis, t-test, and multiple regression analysis. The results showed that: (1) In children's ''walking contributing factors,'' ''the effect of traffic signs,'' ''parent's support,'' ''social support,'' and ''neighborhood safety'' have a significant positive influence on children's willingness to walk. (2) Children in an environment with high ''walking contributing factors'' have significantly higher ''willingness to walk'' than those with low ''walking contributing factors.'' (3) Children in high ''walking contributing factors'' environment do have higher weekly moderate and vigorous physical activity and quality of life than those in low ''walking contributing factors'' environment. (4) Children with high ''willingness to walk'' do have higher weekly moderate and vigorous physical activity than those with low ''willingness to walk.'' Suggestions on environmental planning, increasing traffic signs, and road safety around the residential environment can promote children's willingness to walk, such as child-friendly active commuting routes, zebra crossings with signal lights, etc. In terms of health education, schools can educate parents and children about the benefits of exercise and learning to increase children's physical activity and improve their quality of life.
論2024年WHO發表之「人工智慧於健康領域之倫理 與治理」與台灣現況

Published: October 2024

現代人工智慧(artificial intelligence，以下簡稱為AI)從數據中學習後並將演算法整合到系統與工具中，使其能夠自動執行任務，讓人類不須再對每一個步驟進行明確的編寫程式。生成式AI為一類AI技術，其演算法被訓練能生成具有原創性的內容，例如文章、圖像或影片等等。世界衛生組織(WHO)首次在2021年6月底公布了一份全面指南：「人工智慧於健康領域之倫理與治理」(Ethics and governance of artificial intelligence for health)。WHO諮詢了20位AI領域頂尖專家並指出了在醫療保健中使用AI的潛在好處和風險，並提出了六項經過共識達成的原則供政府、研究者與醫療提供者在使用AI時參考。這些原則包括：(1)保護人類自主權；(2)促進人類福祉、安全、和公共利益；(3)確保透明度、可解釋性、和可理解性；(4)確立責任歸屬和問責制；(5)確保包容性和公平性；(6)促進具適應性及可持續之人工智慧。

WHO於2024年1月再次更新本指南並探討了生成式AI，即大型多模態模型(Large Multimodal Models, LMMs)，其能接受多種類型的數據輸入並生成多樣的輸出。有研究預測稱LMMs將在醫療保健、科學研究、公共衛生和藥物開發中得到廣泛應用、亦被稱為「通用目的基礎模型」。儘管尚未證明LMMs是否能夠勝任各種程度的工作，不可否認的是其被廣泛應用的速度比歷史上任何工具都更快。LMMs的吸引力在於其透過模仿人類溝通的方式促進了「人機互動」，並在詢問或數據輸入後生成「看似人類」或甚至「權威般」的回應。由於其快速地被大眾接受並使用，以及其潛在顛覆傳統社會服務模式的能力，許多政府機關及企業政府均積極投入發展生成式AI。

WHO發布這份指南，旨在幫助評估使用LMMs在醫療保健方面的權益和挑戰，並制定相對應的政策。本文將簡介這篇指南中關於在醫療領域使用AI的建議與利弊，並討論現今歐盟、美國及台灣在AI領域相關法令以及發展。

 

Modern AI (artificial intelligence) learns from data and automates tasks, while generative AI creates original content like articles, images, or videos. WHO’s comprehensive guideline “Ethics and Governance of Artificial Intelligence for Health” released in June 2021 outlines six principles for AI applications in healthcare, including protecting human autonomy and promoting transparency. The principles aim to guide governments, researchers, and healthcare providers in utilizing AI responsibly.

 In January 2024, WHO updated its guidelines, focusing on generative AI, particularly Large Multimodal Models (LMMs), which is capable of producing diverse outputs from various data inputs. Despite uncertainties regarding their capabilities, research suggests that LMMs will have broad applications in healthcare and beyond, known as “general-purpose baseline models.” Their rapid adoption is attributed to their ability to mimic human interaction, potentially disrupting traditional social services, leading to significant investments from governments and enterprises.

 WHO releases this guideline to assist in assessing the benefits and challenges of using LMMs in healthcare and to formulate corresponding policies. This article provides an overview of the recommendations and the pros and cons of using AI in the medical field outlined in this guideline, as well as discuss the current EU, US, and Taiwan regulations and developments in the field of AI.

 
BMI與憂鬱狀態在台灣社區中老年居民中的關聯性及性別差異之探討
Authors: 陳若瑄 陳若瑄 , 李文正 李文正 , 陳昭源 陳昭源
Published: October 2024

目的：本研究旨在探討台灣社區居住的中老年人群中BMI與憂鬱狀態之間的性別差異。

方法：這是一個在台灣北部進行的橫斷面研究。年齡介於50至80歲的243名男性和607名女性納入統計。依照不同的性別，參與者根據問卷分數被分類為不同的憂鬱狀態。我們採用了流行病學研究中心憂鬱量表10項版本(CESD-10)問卷來評估參與者的憂鬱狀態。並探討了憂鬱症與教育水平、婚姻狀況、BMI、自覺健康量表、吸菸習慣、飲酒習慣、運動、就業、收入、高血壓、糖尿病和高血脂的相關性。我們使用卡方檢定來比較類別變項之間的關係，而多元邏輯斯迴歸分析則使用來探討BMI與憂鬱狀態(CESD-10 ≥ 8分)之間的關聯性。

結果：將參與者根據性別與CESD-10切點8分分析。結果在男性組中，BMI與憂鬱狀態之間沒有顯著關聯(p=0.06)在女性，BMI和自覺健康量表與憂鬱狀態則存在顯著相關性(p<0.01)。我們使用多元邏輯斯迴歸分析，發現在女性組中BMI<18.5的族群與憂鬱狀態有顯著關聯(p=0.02, OR 3.76, 95% CI 1.23-11.46)。
結論：研究表明BMI低於18.5是女性憂鬱症的一個獨立風險因素。因此，我們建議對於BMI低於18.5體型瘦弱的中老年女性應進行憂鬱症篩檢。也強調維持適當的體重有助於改善心理健康，尤其是中老年女性。

 

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the gender differences in the association between body mass index (BMI) and depression status among middle-aged and elderly people living in the community in Taiwan.

 Methods: This is a cross-sectional study in northern Taiwan. 243 males and 607 females, aged 50-80 years were eligible for analysis. The participants were categorized in different depression status base on questionnaire according to gender. We applied Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale 10-item version (CESD-10) questionnaire to evaluate participant’s depression status. The statistical methods of Chi-square test were used to explored the correlation between depression status and categorical variables, including education level, marital status, BMI, self-reported health status, current smoking, alcohol consumption, exercise, employment status, income, hypertension, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia. Furthermore, we also applied multivariate logistic regression analysis.

 Results: A total of 850 participants, 243 men and 607 women, were included in the analysis. They were classified into 2 categories by CESD-10 score with cut-off point of 8 in male and female group respectively. There is a significant difference between BMI and depression status in women (p<0.01). However, no significant relationship (p=0.06) between BMI and depression status was found in male group. Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that BMI<18.5 subclass has a significant relationship (p=0.02, OR 3.76, 95% CI 1.23-11.46) with depression status in female group.

 Conclusions: Our study suggests that BMI below 18.5 is an independent risk factor for depression in females. Thus, when we visit thin middle-aged and elderly female patient, performing depression screening method should be taken into account in our clinical practice, especially those BMI below 18.5.

Published: October 2024

This study critically examines the role of environmental compliance in oil and gas production, with a focus on pollution control strategies in the Nigerian petrochemical industry. The research employed a comprehensive review of existing literature and regulations to assess the effectiveness of current pollution control measures and identify gaps in compliance and enforcement. Key findings reveal that while regulatory frameworks such as EGASPIN have been established, enforcement remains inconsistent, leading to significant environmental degradation. The study highlights the multifaceted challenges faced by the industry, including economic pressures, regulatory overlap, and technological constraints. Furthermore, it underscores the adverse impacts of non-compliance on the environment and local communities, including ecosystem damage, health risks, and socio-economic disruption. The conclusion draws attention to the need for a multi-faceted approach to pollution control, advocating for enhanced regulatory frameworks, technological innovation, and stakeholder engagement. The study recommends strengthening institutional capacities, adopting advanced monitoring technologies, and fostering corporate social responsibility to achieve sustainable environmental compliance. By providing a critical assessment of the industry's current practices and suggesting future directions, this paper contributes valuable insights to policymakers, industry stakeholders, and researchers aiming to promote environmental sustainability in the Nigerian oil and gas sector.
Tourist perceptions toward language proficiency of the users of Balish at Ubud Tourism Area
Authors: Beratha Ni Luh Sutjiati
Published: October 2024

Balinese English which is in this article called Balish has an important role in the world of tourism, namely as one of the most important capitals for workers in the field of tourism because they use Balish.  This article discusses tourists’ perceptions toward Balish when they communicate using the English language with tourism workers in Ubud tourism areas. The data were taken from tourists who come to Bali on holiday and stay at Ubud.  Quantitative data were collected by distributing questionnaires to the tourists. The quantitative results of the research show that the tourists are satisfied enough with their English ability in listening skill, and speaking skills.  The theory that was used to analyze the data is the theory developed by Young and Fox (2020), i.e. theory of Oral Communication between Native and Non-Native Speakers Focuses on “Competency”.  This theory gives perceptions related to non-native speakers of English.  Qualitative results indicate that tourists have some perceptions of their ability to use English, especially Balish. Their Balish is understood communicatively, but their ability in speaking skills needs to be improved particularly those related to accents, pronunciation, accuracy, and lexical choices.
Contingency and Necessity: Metatheological Considerations
Authors: Kvanvig Jonathan L.
Published: October 2024

This paper addresses two questions. The first inquires about the line between the contingent and the necessary, and the second about how to explain contingency itself. The goal is a unified explanation of the two. In doing so, we favor approaches that offer plausible explanations even if we agree that no explanation may be needed, resisting only the stronger claim that no explanation is possible. Then we embrace the idea that a unified account of these two aspects of contingency is to be preferred over alternatives, leading to important metatheological results. Those results involve two different approaches to what is fundamental to the nature of deity, and the argument shows a preference for endorsing Creator Theology over a rival Worship-Worthiness approach and, by implication, over Perfect Being Theology as well.

Published: October 2024

A amamentação exclusiva nos primeiros seis meses de vida e a introdução gradual de alimentos complementares são amplamente recomendadas para promover a saúde infantil. E4 ste estudo analisou o impacto do aleitamento materno e da introdução alimentar precoce em crianças menores de seis meses, com foco nos efeitos sobre a saúde e fatores que influenciam o desmame precoce. A metodologia adotou uma abordagem bibliográfica, revisando literatura qualitativa e quantitativa de artigos publicados entre 2014 e 2024. Os resultados indicam que o aleitamento materno exclusivo oferece benefícios significativos, como proteção contra doenças infecciosas e alergias, além de contribuir para o desenvolvimento físico e emocional adequado da criança. Em contraste, a introdução precoce de alimentos pode acarretar riscos, incluindo nutrição inadequada, aumento da susceptibilidade a infecções, alergias e desnutrição. Fatores como falta de informação, aspectos econômicos e culturais influenciam a prática da introdução alimentar precoce e o desmame precoce. A análise destacou que, embora o Brasil tenha avançado nas taxas de aleitamento materno, ainda há desafios para alcançar as metas estabelecidas pela Organização Mundial da Saúde. Conclui-se que é crucial promover o aleitamento materno exclusivo até os seis meses e seguir as diretrizes para a introdução gradual de alimentos, a fim de garantir a saúde e o bem-estar infantil.

Esse estudo, reinterpretado depois de uma década, trata a relação entre trajetória escolar e inclusão de pessoas com deficiências no mercado de trabalho de uma cidade do interior do Estado de São Paulo. Focou-se a identificação de pessoas com deficiências empregadas em empresas que pudessem, por suas experiências, relatar qual a percepção de sua trajetória escolar e as impressões acerca da inclusão na escola e no trabalho. Com isso buscou-se fazer reflexão acerca do processo de inclusão, por meio de conquistas históricas e promoção de leis especificas como: a Lei de Cotas, Lei Brasileira de Inclusão e a Lei de Diretrizes e Bases da Educação Nacional. Nesse sentido, foram escolhidos como objeto de pesquisa empresas do segundo setor da economia (indústria) que tinham o dever de empregar pessoas com deficiências. Para tanto, o método utilizado foi o estudo de caso e a investigação do tipo quantitativo e qualitativo. Após contato com a Delegacia Regional do Trabalho do município onde o estudo foi desenvolvido obteve-se a informação de que havia 28 empresas que deveriam cumprir a Lei de Cotas e, com essa informação, todas as elas foram convidadas a participar da pesquisa; apenas uma aceitou. Dentre os resultados, no que tange à inclusão na escola ainda há a ocorrência do preconceito e da discriminação. Este espaço ainda não está preparado para atender pessoas com deficiência seja por questões estruturais, pedagógicas ou de profissionais capacitados. Sobre o trabalho, este ambiente também sofre com preconceito e discriminação, porém nele, as pessoas com deficiência se veem como agentes de transformação por ser este espaço mais flexível a mudanças em relação à escola. Por último, a relação entre escola e trabalho é de descontinuidade, pois, para as pessoas com deficiências, a ideia de que apenas a escola prepara para o mercado de trabalho não é aceita, seja pelo fato de acreditarem que ela não seja realmente suficiente, ou por perceberem que não lhes é exigido muito mais que isso

O buriti é uma fruta de alto valor nutritivo, usada para desenvolvimento de novos produtos naturais, como sucos fermentados. O objetivo do trabalho foi preparar um suco fermentado da polpa de buriti utilizando o gênero Lactobacillus. Para a fermentação foram inoculadas células (4 g/mL) de L. plantarum ATCC 14917. Os testes foram de curva de crescimento; atividade antimicrobiana por meio de difusão em ágar. Os físicos e químicos foram pH, solúvel sólidos, cinzas, proteínas, carboidratos, lipídios e coloração. Os resultados foram que L. plantarum ATCC 14917 cresceu ≥ 12,36 logs UFC (mg/mL) ao longo de dez dias de fermentação. O teste de difusão em ágar mostrou baixa capacidade de inibição. O pH foi 7, sólidos solúveis o valor foi 1, taxa normal para o teor de açúcar de frutas cítricas, e o teor de cinzas foi de 18%, mostrando que o suco possui muitos resíduos. A concentração de carboidratos foi de 0,031 mg/mL, considerada baixa devido ao fruto ser cítrico e a frutose ser utilizada como primeiro substrato para fermentação. O valor proteico foi de 0,08 mg/mL, considerado bom para suco fermentado, e o lipídico foi de 0,064 mg/mL. A coloração teve alteração de cor à medida que os substratos eram consumidos. No sétimo dia de fermentação, sua cor laranja tornou-se mais acastanhada. O L. plantarum ATCC 14917 pode ser considerado adequado para fermentação de suco de buriti e pode efetivamente melhorar suas atividades probióticas, sendo este o primeiro estudo realizado.

Published: October 2024

The purpose of this study is to systematically analyze qualitative research papers related to conflicts and conflict resolution methods experienced by grandparents in raising their grandchildren, focusing on domestic academic journal papers published after the 2000s. To this end, 22 qualitative research papers published in domestic journals since 2000 were analyzed. As a result of the analysis, the factors of conflict were identified as physical conflict, psychological conflict, and economic conflict, with psychological conflict being the most common. It was found that the solutions to these conflicts included self-management and acceptance, support from grandchildren and farmily, as well as help from the community and those around them. Based on these research results, follow-up studies on grandparenting should consider various aspects of the factors and solutions of conflict, and it is necessary to explore support plans for grandparents rnising their grandchildren.

Duale Hulpverlening voor Kinderen in Gezinnen met Meervoudige en Complexe Problematiek
Authors: Van Assen Arjen
Published: October 2024

Het combineren van gezinsgerichte en kindgerichte hulpverlening (duaal hulpverlenen) kan een bijdrage leveren aan de ontwikkeling van kinderen die opgroeien in gezinnen met complexe en meervoudige problematiek. Onderzoek naar duale hulpverlening bij het Leger des Heils Nederland (10 voor Toekomst en Kinder- en Jeugdcoaching) laat zien dat kinderen deze vorm van hulpverlening positief waarderen. Ook na de hulpverlening is er sprake van aanhoudende gedrags- en emotionele problematiek, maar eveneens van aanzienlijke verbetering in de psychosociale vaardigheden van kinderen.
Core message
Combining family-centred and child-centred care – a dual key worker approach – can benefit the development of children growing up in families experiencing complex and multiple problems. Research on a dual key worker approach of the Salvation Army of the Netherlands (Ten for the Future and Child and Youth Coaching) shows that children experience the care they have received positively. Children experience persistent emotional and behavioral problems, but there is considerable improvement in their psychosocial skills.
Het Toekomstscenario Kind- en Gezinsbescherming

Published: October 2024

Het stelsel van jeugdbescherming in Nederland staat onder druk. De keten, bestaande uit Veilig Thuis, de Raad voor de Kinderbescherming en de Gecertificeerde Instellingen voor jeugdbescherming, is te lang. De organisaties hebben overlappende taken, ouders en kinderen voelen zich niet gehoord en gezien, en het geweld in het gezin verdwijnt ondanks alle inspanningen niet of onvoldoende. In maart 2021 werd het Toekomstscenario kind- en gezinsbescherming aangeboden aan de Tweede Kamer. Dit bevat een beeld van een toekomstig nieuw stelsel van kind- en gezinsbescherming bij onveilige thuissituaties. Dit artikel geeft een schets van dit scenario. Daarna wordt beschreven via welke weg deze verandering vorm krijgt in de praktijk, en wat dit vraagt van professionals en organisaties. Het toekomstscenario vraagt om een parallelle transformatie bij iedereen: professionals, leidinggevenden, bestuurders, stelselverantwoordelijken, toezichthouders en bewindspersonen.
Abstract
The youth protection system in the Netherlands is under pressure. The chain, consisting of Veilig Thuis, Raad voor de Kinderbescherming and the Gecertificeerde Instellingen voor jeugdbescherming, is too long, the organizations have overlapping tasks, parents and children do not feel heard or seen, and violence in the family disappears despite all efforts not or insufficiently. In March 2021, the Toekomstscenario kind- en gezinsbescherming was presented to the Tweede Kamer. This contains a vision of the future of a new system for child and family protection in situations of domestic violence and child abuse. This article provides an outline of this new scenario. It then describes how this change takes shape in practice, and what this requires of professionals and organizations. The Toekomstscenario requires a parallel transformation for everyone: professionals, managers, administrators, system managers, supervisors and ministers.

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought significant challenges to public services, including limitations on face-to-face interactions. As a result, e-commerce has emerged as a potential solution to provide public services online. This study aims to identify the challenges and variables in implementing e-commerce for public services during the pandemic in Indonesia. The study uses a literature review method, which includes collecting data through documentation and online data tracking. The data collected were analyzed to identify the challenges and variables in implementing e-commerce for public services during the pandemic. The study found that the challenges in implementing e-commerce for public services during the pandemic in Indonesia include technical issues, lack of infrastructure, limited citizen support, and legal regulations. The variables that affect the implementation of e-commerce for public services include quality of service, efficiency, and adequate infrastructure. The implementation of e-commerce for public services during the pandemic in Indonesia faces various challenges and requires improvements in quality of service, efficiency, and infrastructure. The study suggests that the government and e-commerce marketplaces should work together to address these challenges and improve the implementation of e-commerce for public services.

To gain the trust of patients, the general public and the state has always been a decisive prerequisite for the work and position in society for doctors. This article deals with the doctor's opinions on what personal qualities and other circumstances are of importance in a therapeutic relationship, and what confidence inspiring factors are legitimate or false and condemnable. During the 19th century, trust for the doctor was seen as based mainly on his personal qualities and moral competence; after the Second World War trust instead was to be a result of scientific and medical competence. The quack, on the contrary, was said to acquire trust on the ground of false promises, and the patients were credulous enough to believe in them. The therapeutic effect of alternative therapies have been said to be "only placebo effects". These effects — among other things the result of a trustful doctor-patient relationship — are nowadays recognizes as very potent and health enhancing. Trust and confidence are a hard currency on the medical market, which no healing art can do without.
Ballonger och begivenheter

Published: October 2024

This article is a reflection over the increasing use of events in marketing and management in the new economy. The use of balloons in such events is used as an empirical illustration in order to show the importance of techniques of perception within this setting. Balloons create a sense of the fleeting and transitory mode that is a hallmark for the production of power in the new economy.
The Gathering — nerdenes Mekka
Authors: Hertzberg Johnsen Birgit
Published: October 2024

"The Gathering" is an established Easter ritual among the young devoted to high-technology in Norway. For five days hordes of young computer freaks gather in the city of Hamar. Here they link together in a gigantic network, practically and socially, in 1999 in fact the biggest temporary computer network in the world. For five days the party goes on — more than 4,000 youths play, compete, eat, sleep and socialise within the walls of the huge hall. The party is very well organised, a lot of people work voluntarily for weeks and some for months to run it.
The voluntaries who run the party belong mostly to a community of young people who might be characterised as "nerds". In creating a group identity, they oppose this picture of themselves as a social disabled nerd — a picture created by the mass media.
Humour plays an important role in their dialogue with the rest of society, and in the outlining of their culture they consciously stress values like co-operation, social relations and friendship, quite contrary to the general picture of the nerds.
The investigation is based on their extensive self-representations on their web sites, observations, interviews with key-persons from the crew, and an inter-active questionnaire designed for the youths participating at the party.
Telefoner och telefonsamtal
Authors: Garnert Jan
Published: October 2024

The article presents and discusses Jan Garnert's research project "Calling for a Meaning", in which he investigates the cultural history of telephony, i.e. the cultural and social meanings of telephone calls. This is done in two case studies. The first case study takes its starting point in Stockholm in the 1870's, a time when people in order to communicate as a rule had to meet in person. The introduction of the telephone changed this basis for human networks and social interaction in the 1880's by making it possible to engage in conversations even with persons in places out of earshot. What meanings did this technological change have for people's understanding of time and space and for their social relations? The second case study explores the last two decades of the 20th century when telephones more and more were connected to individuals, and not to places. What meanings did this have for the perceptions and uses of time and space? What will it mean for networks among friends, family relations, and business connections?
I revolutionens skugga
Authors: Ericsson Tom
Published: October 2024

Historical research has since the 1960s used social theory and concepts. The complexity of history has to be organized to see problems that earlier historians have not seen. In a longer perspective, as been stated by the English historian Peter Burke, it is possible to distinguish four different approaches that originate in social theory. They are the comparative method, models and types, quantitative methods and micro history. A problem for historians is that most social theories are modern. In most cases they developed during the 19th and 20th century, and the question is if they can be used for older periods, that is, are they general enough and not bound to time and space. In this article I argue that social concepts as social network, community and ethnicity can be well integrated in an analysis of the Lutheran minority in Paris during the French revolution.
Den eksotiske patient
Authors: Brander Elsa
Published: October 2024

In 1785-1788 a scientific expedition led by Galaup de Lapérouse leaves Brest harbour with one specific intention: the study of exotic communities. Among the staff of naturalists was the ship's doctor Claude-Nicolas Rollin whose scientific job was to investigate individuals of different races. This article examines the nature of the criteria requested in the anthropological and medical instructions given to Rollin. By arguing that the instructions direct the traveller's construction of an alleged identity of the Other through obsolete assumptions and quantitative and qualitative methods, such as physiological and anatomical measurements, nosological and sexual surveys, I want to highlight the scientific reduction of the Other's Otherness to mere differences. As an exotic individual and as a patient the Other plays and ideosyncratic role, that is both distinct and queer.

There is a crisis in Swedish harness racing! This is a widely held opinion by trainers and horse owners in the business. Economic expectations are no longer fulfilled by the actual development; training business go bankrupt, and the gamblers desert the racing arenas. Today, harness racing is not only a sport but also a gambling market, which leaves its marks on the economy, the ideology and the everyday life of trainers, owners and horses. The aim of this article is to discuss some of the processes that have given the business its current shape, focusing especially of professionalization.
Vägar till och från akademin
Authors: Schoug Fredrik
Published: October 2024

The governmental efforts to increase collaboration between society and the university have hardly brought any multitude of research-trained scholars to the labor market outside of the higher education system. Many scholars in social science and the humanities express a will to convey their knowledge and their work to the general public and to society at large. Nevertheless, they spend almost all of their working hours inside the academy and they also tend to affirm the value of intellectual work for its own sake. Taking the point of departure in a large number of interviews with young scholars, I intend to demonstrate how ties of loyalty to the academy are formed in social science and the humanities as an outcome of the conditions of the labour market and of an academic socialization distinguished by recognition. The difficulty to cultivate an instrumental attitude towards intellectual work implies that any wish to enter the labor market outside of the academy that may occur tend to be caused by disappointment with the academy rather than by the call of sirens.
Systemskifte och biografi
Authors: Berg Magnus

The article outlines a few basic features of a planned research project. This project makes up a third of a bigger project, which, from three different viewpoints, intends to throw light on the changes in political culture that Sweden has undergone since around 1980. In the bigger project, historian Martin Åberg will examine changes in the role of the politician and historian of ideas Fredrik Sunnemark will study how changes in the language of politics reflect underlying perceptions of the relationships between society, man and history.
The project presented in the article concerns biographical experiences of the political changes. It will be based on interviews with people old enough to have been marked by the preceding political culture. The article outlines the changes and two possible ways of relating to them.

Catwalking became one of the means of production in the years of The New Economy, but it is also a skill with a long history. This paper discusses the cultural analysis of fashion, looking at the history of catwalking in the haute couture of 19th century Paris, the motor industry of the 1920s and 30s as well as the world of cool-hunters, event-managers and brand-builders of the 1990s. What happens when catwalking is moved from one arena to another?
Catwalking is about looking good, communicating an appetizing image with a brisk movement forward, but it is also about radiating energy: enthusiasm, will-power, self-confidence.
Catwalking is, together with 'cool-hunting', also about the production of newness, providing glimpses or promises of what is about to come. It thus needs to be analyzed in relation to the cultural processes of fashion, how does a brand, a product, a company move in and out of fashion?
Smärtans dynamik
Authors: Ewert Susanne
Published: October 2024

This essay about experiences of pain has its basic empirical ground in two materials: interviews with people suffering from pain and observations from a multidisciplinary pain clinic in Sweden. My aim is to show, based on a constructivist approach, that pain, often associated with something outside culture, can be problematized as a cultural phenomenon. Pain in this perspective is seen as an unstable and dynamic notion shaped by cultural conceptions of body, consciousness and identity, which constitute the conditions for how we experience, observe and categorize pain. This means that experiences of pain are analysed as descriptions of time specific conditions in which pain is made comprehensible, and in the extension as descriptions of possible ways of understanding ourselves.
Moral och metafor: konsumtionens mening
Authors: Wilk Richard
Published: October 2024

Most studies of consumption have two things in common; they do not define consumption in any concise way, and they incorporate moral values about consumption. Are these two phenomena related to each other? The very meaning and content of the term "consumption" is elusive, despite many attempts at definition and specification. Recent research in cognitive linguistics by George Lakoff and others shows why consumption is such a fuzzy category, and why consumption and moral issues are always related to each other. I briefly demonstrate that 'burning' and 'eating' are the two prototypical acts of consumption, to which all other forms of consumption are metaphorically linked. By exploring the structure of the concept of consumption, and the central metaphors that link its meanings together, we can better grasp our elusive topic. More importantly, we can also avoid some of the pitfalls that so often occur in the social sciences when we use folk-categories as if they were empirical and universal.
Gråtens världar
Authors: Alftberg Åsa
Published: October 2024

This study, based on interviews with army officers, focuses on crying as an action, creating meanings in our interpretation of the world. The discourse of male crying includes the image of a man wanting to express himself emotionally, but unable to because of the traditional ideal of self-control. Here, I have looked upon crying as a non-reflexive "choice" of action. A man can "choose" to cry or to acknowledge the image of being able to be in control of his feelings.
Tears can be seen as a means to create and confirm a close relationship, since crying has an emotional border-crossing function, between beings and between worlds. Crying helps us to grasp a new world, suddenly opened, since we can only understand and experience the world through our emotions and moods.
Majoritet i minoritet
Authors: Bäckman Maria
Published: October 2024

In the suburban setting discussed in this paper, teenagers representing a national majority turn out to be a local minority, surrounded by peers identified by various kinds of ethnic labels. Under such circumstances, the relative meaning of gender, sexuality, ethnic/national background, class, religious affinity and residential area, has to be continuously negotiated. The girls involved in the study can adopt a wide range of attitudes. Sometimes, they isolate in narrowly defined groups; in other cases, they attempt to abolish differences.
Hedersmordet på Fadime
Authors: Ekström Simon
Published: October 2024

The debate on the "honour killing of Fadime" can be described as one of a fundamental opposition. On the one hand there are those who argue that the murder can only be understood and be meaningful with reference to concepts such as culture and difference. On the other hand, there are those who, for different reasons, oppose such a culturally oriented understanding in favour of some other explanation. In this article, I argue that the murder, the legal handling, the mass media reporting and the subsequent debate became something that was used and exploited in an arena that is ultimately about competing descriptions of reality. The legal, media and the academic repercussions following the murder of Fadime Sahindal took the form of a discussion — which is still ongoing — about what the reality of the situation was, which definition of the problem was closest to the truth and what the best solutions were.
