서울시 청년 1인 가구를 위한‘상담 멘토링’프로그램 분석 및 개선방안 연구

Perhaps the biggest change that has occurred in Korean society recently is the increase in single-person households.In line with the trend of increasing single-person households, the Seoul Metropolitan Government has introduced and is carrying out a counseling mentoring program for single-person households from 2021.However, the discussion on the effectiveness of this program has not yet been fully conducted. Accordingly, in this study, telephone and written interviews were conducted centering on practitioners conducting counseling mentoring, and based on the contents, the program was analyzed and limitations and improvement plans were proposed from various angles. The study was conducted from late October to mid-November 2022 with an FGI interview with a person in charge who runs a single-person household counseling mentoring program. Ten Metropolitan boroughs were selected by adding 7 administrative officers who operated the counseling mentoring program and 3 administrative officers who did not operate counseling mentoring. If a counseling program for emotional support is introduced in a residential space using social housing, one of the housing services for single-person households, it is expected that community activities to be formed in social housing can be supported, and at the same time, intimacy with the current area and residential space will increase, leading to a sense of psychological stability. This study is meaningful as it proposes a highly effective counseling program tailored to the characteristics of Seoul.

Community Connector Pilot – Review Of A Non-Clinical Programme Within An Integrated Care Programme For Older Persons Team

Abstract Background A Community Connector is a specialist Social Prescriber for older individuals who often present with complex medical needs and are referred directly by an Integrated Care team. The programme is a collaborative model between this team and a respective community host organisation. Integrated Care, as part of the Sláintecare Programme, places a stronger emphasis on social supports and person-centredness as key elements in healthcare (Goodwin, 2013). Methods Referrals are received approximately two to three weeks prior to discharge from the Integrated Care team which allows for relevant feedback from the Community Connector to this team. A coaching approach is utilised as a way of exploring each participant’s individual priorities and their expressed interests and goals in order to enhance their awareness of resources and supports in their own community and their subsequent readiness to engage. This process involves co-creating a personalised wellbeing plan with each individual which can act as the basis for a joint learning journey together. Results On referrals received to the programme, ongoing data is recorded regarding the number of individuals participating, the activities undertaken and the outcomes affecting the wellbeing of participants. Social isolation is a key reason for referral among this cohort in addition to cognitive stimulation, reengagement in social outlets and carer stress. Programme participants continue to be referred to a range of community activities, programmes and supports. Preliminary findings show an increase in community connectedness in regard to individuals’ increased knowledge and subsequent participation in local activities. Conclusion Key qualitative and quantitative data are the basis for initial and ongoing evaluation of the programme. These include recording any reflections and challenges which then act as key learning tools in delivering a unique person-centred programme for older individuals.

Older adults’ decisions regarding mobility to age in place in medium- and high-rise multi-storey residential buildings in urban settings: A case study of South East Queensland, Australia

Population ageing and urbanisation requires a more thorough understanding and monitoring of older adult residential mobility trends. Many older adults move to urban areas and previous studies have been carried out on ageing in place in traditional low-rise residential buildings. However, there is little in the literature about the important push and pull factors influencing older adult moves to medium- and high-rise multi-storey residential buildings in urban areas as they age. This case study research considered the housing migration model of push and pull factors used in elderly residential mobility and investigated the older adults' decision-making regarding mobility to age in place in medium- and high-rise multi-storey residential buildings in South East Queensland, Australia. The study revealed how the older adults expressed a desire to age in place in multi-storey residential buildings in urban areas and identified it as an important element of quality of life. Many older adults chose to move house to high density urban areas from low density urban areas between the ages of 65 and 84. The ‘pull’ factor to significantly influence the decisions of movers was a low maintenance property and lifestyle change from a large suburban home whereas the ‘push’ factor was upkeep difficulties of the house related to old age. This study makes empirical contributions to knowledge in ageing residential mobility trends in urban areas and concludes by providing policy recommendations for developing more effective housing, public spaces, transportation, and community activities and services for older adults, including highlighting a number of recommendations for future research.

Analisis Kelompok Kegiatan Masyarakat Sempadan Sungai dalam Hubungannya dengan Upaya Menjaga Kebersihan Sungai di Wilayah Kelurahan Sungai Lulut Kecamatan Banjarmasin Timur Kota Banjarmasin Provinsi Kalimantan Selatan

Sungai Lulut sub-district is one of the sub-districts within the East Banjarmasin sub-district, Banjarmasin City. Most of the daily activities of the river border communities in this sub-district consist of market and shop activities. It is thought that population density and the rise of trade activities can affect the cleanliness of rivers. At least two types of waste were found on the river border of Sungai Lulut Village, East Banjarmasin District, namely domestic waste and commercial waste. There are indications of a relationship between community activity groups and efforts to deal with waste and rubbish, thus showing their influence on community efforts to maintain river cleanliness. It is also indicated that the age and education level of the community are influencing factors, as can be seen from the student-level community groups whose involvement is relatively low in efforts to deal with waste to keep the river clean.

Measuring the Learning Performance of Students from Community-Friendly Schools in Hong Kong

This research focuses on evaluating the learning attitude and performance of students from community-friendly schools in Hong Kong. The concept of community-friendly schools, being firstly introduced and implemented by CCC Tam Lee Lai Fun Memorial Secondary School, is relatively new in Hong Kong. Community-friendly schools can be defined as institutions that create a platform for interaction and mutual learning between students and community members. They achieve this by integrating community elements into the curriculum, cooperating with external organizations, and providing social services that benefit students, schools, and the community. The study adopts a descriptive mixed research method, utilizing questionnaires and interviews as data gathering instruments. The performance of these schools is assessed in terms of their impact on students’ engagement in the learning activities, learning attitudes, and academic performance. These aspects are evaluated through three levels of activities - community learning activities, the activities cooperated with community organizations and community services organized by the school. Data analysis incorporates descriptive statistics, Analyses of Variance, and linear regression models, showcasing the noteworthy effects of these institutions. It scrutinizes shifts in students' behavior prior to and post enrolment, revealing significant positive correlations between the level of student engagement in community activities and improvements in learning attitude and academic performance. This evaluation framework aims to provide insights into the effectiveness of community-friendly schools in achieving educational and social objectives.

Nurses' health promotion practices in rural primary health care in Nigeria. A qualitative study.

Nurses play a vital role in providing high-quality primary healthcare and health promotion services. The state of research highlights their often complex operational realities and shows the need for an evidence-based understanding of nurses' perspectives on health promotion practices, especially in low-resource settings. This study focuses on how community health nurses in rural primary healthcare centers in Nigeria perceive their health promotion role and the opportunities and challenges of, and potential entry points for strengthening, their practice. A sample of 10 nurses from eight rural primary healthcare centers in eight local government areas of Anambra state, Nigeria, was purposively selected. Data were collected via semistructured telephone and written interviews and analyzed by qualitative content analysis using a deductive-inductive approach. Nurses emphasized their commitment to supporting patients and communities to develop skills and take control of their own lives. Nurses described their role as facilitators of behavioral and environmental change, individual and community empowerment facilitators as well as social activists. Factors that enhance the health promotion practice of nurses include adequate skills, sufficient human and material resources and community support and participation. Inhibiting factors included insufficient funding, poor working conditions, staff shortages, high workload, lack of training opportunities and low participation of community members. Overcoming challenges and facilitating health promotion activities in rural communities require bolstering nurses by providing further training opportunities for enhancing their health promotion competencies and creating supportive environments. Future research should focus on how to strengthen nurses' health promotion efforts through interprofessional and intersectoral collaboration.

Social Work Crime as an Alternative to Resolving Overcrowding in Correctional Institutions

Overcrowded in correctional facilities results from various factors, including increased inmate numbers due to prevailing prison sentencing policies, judicial inefficiencies in handling detainees, and high recidivism rates. The consequences of overcrowding are severe, impacting the ability to meet inmates' basic needs, leading to poor sanitation and health conditions, and reducing the effectiveness of rehabilitation programs. Social work penalties, adopted in several countries, offer a rehabilitative approach that focuses on social reintegration rather than isolation through prison sentences. These penalties help facilitate inmate recovery by involving them in beneficial community activities such as environmental care or social services. This research employs a normative juridical methodology, utilizing document analysis of relevant legal and literature sources. Data are qualitatively analyzed, considering legislative regulations, legal literature, and related research findings. The study aims to contribute to more effective policy formulation for managing overcrowding in correctional facilities and to consider more humane and rehabilitative sentencing alternatives

Analysis of the Distribution of Carbon Monoxide Gas and Nitrogen Dioxide Gas and Urban Heat Island (UHI) Based on Multi-Temporal Satellite Data During the Implementation of the Covid-19

The research aims to determine the distribution and concentration levels of CO and NO2 gases based on Sentinel-5P Satellite Image processing and UHI levels based on Landsat 8 Image processing during the implementation of Covid-19 Large-Scale Social Restrictions (PSBB) in Pekanbaru City. Data processing begins by extracting CO and NO2 gas data as well as Landsat 8 imagery via cloud computing on Google Earth Engine (GEE). The PSBB policy in Pekanbaru City came into effect in 2020. The PSBB policy will limit community activities, which will affect the concentration of CO and NO2 gases as well as UHI. The research results show that before the 2019 Covid-19 PSBB the respective concentrations of CO and NO2 gases were (CO: 4.16 x 10-3 mol/m2 – 4.70 x 10-3 mol/m2) and (NO2: 4, 16 x 10-5 mol/m2 – 5.68 x 10-5 mol/m2) with a UHI temperature of 34.23 0C. Then, when the PSBB was implemented in 2020, there was a decrease in the concentration of CO and NO2 gases to (CO: 2.87 x 10-3 mol/m2 – 3.20 x 10-3 mol/m2) and (NO2: 2.98 x 10-5 mol/m2 – 5.28 x 10-5 mol/m2) with the UHI temperature decreasing to 30.24 0C. However, CO and NO2 gas concentrations increased again after PSBB in 2021 to (CO: 2.90 x 10-3 mol/m2 – 3.31 x 10-3 mol/m2) and (NO2: 2.87 x 10-5 mol/m2 – 5.76 x 10-5 mol/m2) which was followed by an increase in the UHI temperature to 32.62 0C. Therefore, it is known that the concentration of CO and NO2 gases will affect UHI. If the concentration of CO and NO2 gas increases, the UHI temperature will also increase.

Temporal dynamics of acoustic diversity in managed forests

IntroductionIn production forests, management can have cascading effects on biodiversity and ecosystem services. Acoustic diversity reflects the diversity of vocalizing animals and has also considerable recreational value for human well-being, but the relationship between acoustic diversity and forest management remains largely unexploredMethodWe recorded acoustic diversity on forest plots along a gradient of silvicultural management intensity (SMI) in three regions of Germany. We explored the diurnal and seasonal temporal dynamics in acoustic diversity index (ADI) from March to July using generalized additive mixed models (GAMMs). We further investigated the interrelation between acoustic diversity and silvicultural management intensity, forest structural diversity, as well as tree diversity, bird species richness and abundance using structural equation modeling (SEM).ResultsSilvicultural management intensity had significant effects on the temporal dynamics of ADI in May and June from dawn till dusk, but variance explained by SMI was low. We confirmed our hypothesis that ADI was reduced by SMI due to its cascading effects on forest structural diversity and bird species richness and abundance.DiscussionAcoustic diversity indices can provide valuable insights into how forest management affects the acoustic activity of soniferous communities. We discuss how this can indicate both changes in species diversity as well as their vocal activity. We further address potential implications for forest management.

Social Interaction in Building Religious Tolerance in Sukabumi City Society

This study aims to determine the understanding of society, social interaction in building religious tolerance and the role of religious institutions in maintaining religious tolerance in the community of Sukabumi. This form of study is qualitative and based on fieldwork using three methods including phenomenological method, sociological method, and historical method. The results of this study found that: first, the understanding of the people of Sukabumi about tolerance reflects an attitude of respect and acceptance of religious diversity, culture, and views. They actively interact with diverse backgrounds, respect human rights, and encourage interfaith and cultural participation in community activities. This understanding creates an inclusive, harmonious, and peaceful coexistence environment, which makes Sukabumi an inspiring example in building a tolerant society. Social interaction between citizens of different religions and effective social communication have established a social contract that respects and respects religious rights. Sukabumi's achievement as the 6th tolerant city in Indonesia shows the commitment of the government and society in promoting the values of tolerance. Positive factors, such as government policies, inclusive education programs, and public awareness, contributed to this achievement. Through the iceberg models approach, researchers can understand how social interaction fosters harmony and awareness of religious diversity. Understanding and respect for religious diversity is the hallmark of Sukabumi that must be strengthened in order to be an example of harmony for a diverse Indonesia.

Indigenous knowledge management: a catalyst for food security among Ghanaian yam farmers during COVID-19

ABSTRACT The research examined the influence of indigenous knowledge management on the food security of Ghanaian subsistence yam farmers amid the COVID-19 pandemic, utilising a descriptive correlation survey approach. The study encompassed 384 yam farmers selected using a multistage sampling procedure. Descriptive and inferential statistics were employed in the study. A statistically significant relationship was found between food security and various elements that support knowledge management processes. These factors, along with knowledge distribution (i.e. dissemination of indigenous knowledge) and knowledge conversion (i.e. adapting indigenous knowledge into community activities), jointly explained 74.0% of food security variation among peasant farmers during the pandemic. Indigenous knowledge management positively impacted food security in this context. Integrating indigenous knowledge with modern agricultural practices could enhance productivity and sustainability. The study underscores the importance of involving local communities in designing food security interventions for lasting positive impacts on livelihoods. It recommends the active participation of local people in shaping such interventions.

Study on the Characteristics of Community Elderly Care Service Facilities Usage and Optimization Design Based on Life Cycle Theory

Abstract: As the aging population in China increases, home-based elderly care is set to become the main mode of elderly care in the future. The construction of community elderly care service facilities is receiving more and more attention from society. Currently, residential area design standards in China lack clear guidance on the spatial planning of facilities, which will lead to unreasonable facility layout planning and insufficient convenience in the utilization of facilities by the elderly. Fully considering the distribution characteristics of community elderly care service facilities and the needs of the community life circle when planning residential areas can effectively solve this problem. This study takes Xi’an City as the research object, based on the theory of life circle, through questionnaire surveys and cluster analysis, analyzes the current situation of the construction of elderly care service facilities and the characteristics of the use by the elderly. Combined with the community life circle model, the study scope is divided into community life circle levels, and put forward the planning strategies of coverage rate, number, richness, and spatial layout of the facilities, respectively. These strategies are designed to enhance the quality of life for seniors, ensuring that they have access to essential support and resources within their communities. It demonstrated that middle-aged elderly prefer community canteens and activity centers, while those with limited mobility and multiple chronic diseases have a higher demand for health service centers and community canteens. The utilization weight analysis shows that vegetable markets and supermarkets are most frequently used, whereas health service centers are the least utilized. The research proposes strategic planning enhancements, including full coverage of basic facilities, targeted increases in high-demand facilities, and tailored facilities for elderly characteristics. It recommends cross-community layouts to ensure service radius coverage, development reservations for future needs, and quality improvements to address the low satisfaction rates of existing facilities. The study concludes that a targeted approach to facility planning, considering the elderly’s diverse needs, can enhance the community elderly care service system’s sustainability and effectiveness.

Designing Compact Products for Communal Spaces to Support Communal Activities

The city of Bandung is dubbed as a creative city as a result of a process carried out by local communities engaged in the creative industry. One of the areas that is used as a forum by creative people in the city of Bandung is Laswee creative space. Areas and spots in Laswee can be used by various communities on a regular basis for exhibitions, seminars, workshops, event design, and other gathering events. However, from the various facilities and environments that have been provided by Laswee as a creative communal space, there are still some aspects that have not been fulfilled for. Based on the emphatize and define process in this study, it shows that the furniture used in Laswee has not supported creative communal activities. Based on this, this research aims to produce compact furniture designs that are able to maximize communal and creative activities.

This research aims to analyze and describe the role of the Palu City Satpol-PP in enforcing regional legal products regarding waste management and cleanliness by identifying and analyzing supporting and inhibiting factors, as well as what efforts are being made. This research employed a descriptive method with a qualitative approach. Data collection techniques were conducted through interviews, observations, and document studies. The results of this research show that the Palu City Civil Service Police Unit has carried out its role well as a regional law enforcer regarding cleanliness, in this case, its role as a stabilizer, innovator, modernizer, and pioneer. However, there are still several obstacles, including a lack of public awareness and limited Civil Servant Investigator personnel. Thus, the Palu City Civil Service Police Unit is intensively carrying out outreach and counselling to the community and business actors, taking a humanist and persuasive approach, as well as increasing the number of Civil Servant Investigators.

Mechanism of microbial action of the inoculated nitrogen-fixing bacterium for growth promotion and yield enhancement in rice (Oryza sativa L.)

The use of nitrogen-fixing bacteria in agriculture is increasingly recognized as a sustainable method to boost crop yields, reduce chemical fertilizer use, and improve soil health. However, the microbial mechanisms by which inoculation with nitrogen-fixing bacteria enhance rice production remain unclear. In this study, rice seedlings were inoculated with the nitrogen-fixing bacterium R3 (Herbaspirillum) at the rhizosphere during the seedling stage in a pot experiment using paddy soil. We investigated the effects of such inoculation on nutrient content in the rhizosphere soil, plant growth, and the nitrogen-fixing microbial communities within the rhizosphere and endorhizosphere. The findings showed that inoculation with the R3 strain considerably increased the amounts of nitrate nitrogen, ammonium nitrogen, and available phosphorus in the rhizosphere by 14.77%, 27.83%, and 22.67%, respectively, in comparison to the control (CK). Additionally, the theoretical yield of rice was enhanced by 8.81% due to this inoculation, primarily through a 10.24% increase in the effective number of rice panicles and a 4.14% increase in the seed setting rate. Further analysis revealed that the structure of the native nitrogen-fixing microbial communities within the rhizosphere and endorhizosphere were altered by inoculation with the R3 strain, significantly increasing the α-diversity of the communities. The relative abundance of key nitrogen-fixing genera such as Ralstonia, Azotobacter, Geobacter, Streptomyces, and Pseudomonas were increased, enhancing the quantity and community stability of the nitrogen-fixing community. Consequently, the nitrogen-fixing capacity and sustained activity of the microbial community in the rhizosphere soil were strengthened. Additionally, the expression levels of the nitrogen absorption and transport-related genes OsNRT1 and OsPTR9 in rice roots were upregulated by inoculation with the R3 strain, potentially contributing to the increased rice yield. Our study has revealed the potential microbial mechanisms through which inoculation with nitrogen-fixing bacteria enhances rice yield. This finding provides a scientific basis for subsequent agricultural practices and is of critical importance for increasing rice production and enhancing the ecosystem services of rice fields.

Household Participation in Community-Based Tourism Management in Don Det Village, Khong District, Champasak Province, Lao PDR

The objectives of this study were to investigate the following: 1) household participation; 2) factors relating to household participation; and 3) recommend guidelines for household participation promotion in community-based tourism management in Don Det village, Khong District, Champasak province, Lao PDR. Households were unit of analysis in this study and respondents in this study consisted of 104 households in Don Det village. A set of questionnaires passing content validity and reliability test was used for data collection. The reliability values of the questionnaire on attitude of the head of household was 0.78 and on household participation in community-based tourism management was 0.92. Findings showed that household participation in community-based tourism management of Ban Don Det community, most of the respondents participated at a moderate level (mean = 3.00). The three aspects were also found at a moderate level: (1) participation in management community tourism activities (mean = 2.66); (2) participation in the process preparing communities to support tourism (mean = 2.67); (3) participation in evaluation from the tourism community activities (mean = 3.05). However, participation in benefiting from the tourism community activities was found at a high level (mean = 3.71). Significant factors that could predict the relationships towards household participation in community-based tourism management were two independent variables: the number of household members involved in tourism and the attitude of the head of household were correlated with the household participation in the management of community-based tourism at a moderate level (R = 0.449, P <0.05). This could explain the relationships between independent variables as mentioned and household participation in community-based tourism management with a statistical significance level of 20.20 percent. The following were suggestions in the policy level: 1) There should have meetings in the village so that some people who are not involved in tourism get to know the tourism, importance of tourism and benefits of tourism; 2) Provincial Information, Culture and Tourism Office of Champasak Province should support and promote tourism marketing for Don Det village. And other suggestions were as follows: 1) There should be a mutually agreement upon sharing benefits to each individual household within the community as appropriately; 2) it should promote more people to be involved in community tourism; and 3) the training should be provided to educate people in the community about tourism management and should raise awareness about conservation of tourism resources in the community.

Transcriptional profiling elucidates biofilm functionality in the dynamic environment of an enhanced biological phosphorus removal reactor

ABSTRACT Recently, biofilms, complex and dynamic structures of microorganisms, have been applied to enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR), a wastewater treatment configuration dependent on cyclic shifts between anaerobic and aerobic conditions. In this study, comparative metagenomics and metatranscriptomics were performed on biofilms collected from seven sites of a moving-bed-biofilm-reactor-based EBPR process. The aim was to examine the functional ecology of phosphorus-accumulating biofilms throughout a single EBPR cycle. Taxonomic profiling revealed high microbial diversity, stable throughout the EBPR cycle. The dominant phosphorus-accumulating organisms (PAOs) were identified as Candidatus accumulibacter, Candidatus phosphoribacter, and Candidatus lutibacillus. However, these did not show the highest transcriptional activities. Propionivibrio, a potential glycogen-accumulating organism, was the most transcriptionally active. Comparative analysis of biofilms from different EBPR stages showed a progressive change in metatranscriptome composition, correlating with nutrient removal. Analysis of differentially expressed genes in abundant PAOs revealed key genes associated with the uptake of phosphorus, degradation of glycogen, biosynthesis of polyhydroxyalkanoates, and acetate production. In conclusion, this study reveals that biofilms possess the capability to adapt to environmental fluctuations primarily through alterations in microbial gene expression activity and subsequent metabolic modulation, and dominant taxa may not necessarily exhibit the highest transcriptional activity in complex microbial communities.
