Barriers to digital financial inclusion and digital financial services (DFS) in Pakistan: a phenomenological approach

Purpose Financial inclusion plays an essential role in today’s modern era. There has been a growing recognition that financial inclusion is an important enabler in poverty reduction. It is an essential tool in enabling inclusive growth and reducing poverty. This study aims to identify the barriers that limit customers to use digital financial services (DFS) in Pakistan. Second, this study aims to spread awareness of DFS and benefits of digital financial inclusion and services to retain customers in Pakistan. Third, the study purposes to retain old customers toward DFS in Pakistan. Design/methodology/approach This study is qualitative phenomenology study. The data were collected through interviews (i.e., online or face-to-face, depending on participants convenience). The sample comprised respondents with different age and different nature of work. Before conducting actual interviews, the interview questions were validated by three experts working in the State Bank of Pakistan in the relevant field. The interviews took from those individuals who were have digital financial account, but not using it due to some reasons. Data analysis carried out by using the NVivo software to deliver the themes after analyzing the data by querying, visualizing and coding. Findings The study categorized s6 themes as second order themes including dependency, illiteracy, lack of trust, cost, lack of access to financial services and financial instability by emerging 16 subject themes as 1st order themes. It including financial illiteracy, digital illiteracy, lack of knowledge, depend on spouse, depend on parents/children, depend on siblings, fear, security issues, privacy issues, lack of internet access, lack of account access, unemployment, low income, high expenses, other cost and transaction cost. These barriers limit DFS adoption and its use. This study found that 90% respondents were financial illiterate and 80% respondents do not have the knowledge of new recent e-payment system. Originality/value However, this study contributes to reducing these barriers and spreading knowledge about financial inclusion and DFS. From a managerial perspective, additional attention needs to be devoted to the adoption of financial inclusion and innovation in DFS.

EmoConfident Interviewer :An AI Mock Interview Evaluator

Abstract: Interviews hold great significance for candidates as it's the moment when their hard work is put to the test in hopes of achieving their desired and successful life results. It plays a crucial role in our educational system and hiring process by helping to identify the best applicant based on the necessary abilities. We can do better by improving our communication and confidence skills through mock interviews. This article introduced new way to practice for interviews using AI-based mock interview platform.

So, using this method will help the job candidate feel more confident and less stressed or anxious before the actual job interview

Embracing Peace Education for Interreligious Awareness in Myanmar: A Case Study of the Judson Research Center

There is limited consideration of the role of interreligious awareness in both preventing violent conflict and integrating it into the curriculum of modern peace education. This paper seeks to address this gap by recognizing the significance of religious awareness in peacebuilding through peace education, focusing on the Judson Research Center of the Myanmar Institute of Theology as a key institution in promoting a peaceful society. Myanmar has been prone to religious conflict for a long time, especially as religion has been used by various groups to gain political advantage, and religion has become a sensitive topic. The research method in this study is a qualitative case study conducted through informal dialogue with two key officials and representatives of the center, a literature review (mainly on peace educa-tion to align with the purpose of the article), analysis of documents and research articles, as well as dissert-ations and journal articles, including studying the practices of the research center itself. As a research article and not merely a desk paper based on existing published articles alone, the findings of this article are thus not based on pre-conceived themes. Rather, the themes emerged based on actual field observation, interviews, and contextual analysis. This paper highlights the importance of peace education for peaceful communication among different religious groups and its contribution to improving interreligious awareness for building peace. Ultimately, it empha-sizes the critical role of peace education in fostering mutual understanding, respect, and trust for the establishment of a peaceful and harmonious society. Keywords: communication, Judson Research Center, peacebuilding, peace education, religion

간호학 교육에서 영화를 활용한 질병 체험 내러티브 교수법의 적용 효과

This study is a non-equivalent control group, pre-post, time-lag design study to confirm the effect of applying the disease experience narrative teaching method using movies to nursing students. The illness narrative teaching method program consisted of partially providing the <Wit> movie and writing and presenting a patient experience worksheet. 63 people in the experimental group and 59 people in the control group participated. Data analysis was performed using ²-test, t-test, ANCOVA, and paired t-test using SPSS 24.0. As a result of this study, the experimental group's empathy (F=108.202 p=.<.001), caring efficacy (F=104.756 p=.<.001), and attitude toward end-of-life care (t=-2.104, p=.002) were higher than those of the control group. It was confirmed that there was statistically significant improvement. In future research, it is suggested to confirm the effects on patient-centered attitude, communication, and ethical decision-making through disease experience narrative teaching methods using not only movies but also actual patient experience interviews and documentaries. In addition, we propose a study that compares the effects of empathy and caring efficacy after nursing students indirectly experience the patient's perspective by participating in the patient's treatment process during the clinical training period.

Research methods. The study uses such methods as historical and comparative, empirical, factual and descriptive, and field research analysis (field survey of sculptures and interviews with artists). The scientific novelty of the study lies in the systematisation of new factual data on plein air sculpture in the context of landscape design. For the first time in domestic art history, genre and style features of some sculptural works that have not yet been published are considered. Primary source information from artists, in the form of actual interviews, was recorded. Conclusions. The study highlights the plein air sculpture formation process as a small architectural form of the parks’ design environment. On the basis of the artistic analysis, the influence of plein air sculpture on landscape design is comprehensively revealed, and various factors of in teraction “sculpture-space” are discovered. The evolution and prerequisites of the phenomenon of sculpture symposia in the world, in particular in Britain, Austria, and Norway, are demonstrated. As a result of the study of the origins of the emergence of sculpture plein airs in Ukraine, it is proved that the “Podilskyi Oberih” art movement, which emerged in the village of Busha, Vinnytsia region, had a positive impact on the cultural formation of the environment. In the course of the study, an art historical analysis of individual representative samples of the author’s sculptures created in different time periods was carried out. This made it possible to outline stylistic trends that gave impetus to the search for ideological and plastic trends, taking into account the factors of interaction between “sculpture-space”. The article studies the development of the Bushanskyi Park landscape environment design and describes several implemented design projects of small architectural forms.

Applying Machine Learning to the Evaluation of Interviewer Performance

Survey organizations have long used Computer Assisted Recorded Interviewing (CARI) to monitor interviewer performance. Conventionally, a human coder needs to first listen to the audio recording of the interactions between the interviewer and the respondent and then evaluate and code features of the question-and-answer sequence using a pre-specified coding scheme. Although prior research found that providing feedback to interviewers based on CARI was effective at improving interviewer performance, such coding process tends to be labor intensive and time consuming. To improve the effectiveness and efficiency of using CARI to monitor interviewer performance, we developed a pipeline that heavily draws on the use of machine learning to process audio recorded interviews. In particular, machine learning is used to detect who spoke at which turn in a question-level audio recording and to transcribe conversations at the turn level. This paper describes how the pipeline was used to detect interviewer falsification and to identify problematic interviewer behavior in both recordings of mock interviews and actual field interviews. The performance of the pipeline was discussed.

In order to build a better retirement environment for players, it seems that members in the soccer environment must take the lead in creating it.

LIVED EXPERIENCES OF GUIDANCE ADVOCATE IN HANDLING COUNSELING AND REFERRAL SYSTEM DURING PANDEMIC IN PUBLIC ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS

The purpose of this descriptive-qualitative research was to determine the lived experiences of guidance advocate in handling counseling and referral system during pandemic in public elementary schools. The following were the four primary phenomenological research questions which guided the study: 1. What are the lived experiences of guidance advocates during pandemic in terms of Physical, Mental, Emotional, and Social? 2. How do the guidance advocates implement the counseling and referral system in their schools? 3. What are the challenges encountered by the guidance advocates in implementing the counseling and referral system during pandemic? 4. How do you resolve the challenges that you have encountered in implementing counselling and referral system? The results during actual semi-structured interview were given thorough analysis to properly identify responses taken from the co-researchers as regards the identified four major themes: Physical, Mental, Emotional, and Social. In terms of the Physical aspect, relative experiences of the participants are stress, overload of works, miscommunication of information, and delivering of information and services through calls was very hard. In terms of the Mental aspect, common lived experiences by the participants during the pandemic are anxiety, pressured by the deadlines of the reports which need to be accomplished, and slight depression. In terms of the Emotional aspect, majority of the participants’ expressed feelings of uncertainty, anxiety, stress, fear, and sadness which became a hindrance to their ability to perform their functions as guidance advocates. In terms of Socialization, the participants reported boredom of staying at home because socialization was strictly prohibited and the social activities which were prepared for the learners could not be delivered.

0168 The Role of Alertness (vs. Fatigue) in the Performance of Professional Criminal Investigators

Abstract Introduction Investigative interviews and interrogations are a critical component of official inquiries. However, how levels of alertness (vs. fatigue) of the interviewer impact performance during investigative interviews or their outcomes is unclear. To this end, the current effort aimed to estimate the impact of objectively estimated alertness on (1) deception detection across true and false alibi statements and (2) outcomes of real-life investigative interviews conducted by officers in the field. Methods To achieve the first goal, sets of 8 video-recorded alibi statements (each from a different individual, with half being true) were presented to 26 law-enforcement professionals (average age of 42, two-thirds male). Prior to judging the alibi statements on truthfulness, they completed the 5-min Psychomotor Vigilance Test and rated their sleepiness. To achieve the second goal, another study tracked daily fluctuations in alertness among investigators to predict their experiences with actual field interviews. Fifty law-enforcement investigators (mean age 42, 75% male) wore a sleep-activity tracker (Readiband) for two weeks while keeping a daily-diary of interviews conducted in the field. For each interview, the investigators indicated (a) how well they established rapport with the subject, (b) how much resistance they encountered, (c) how well they maintained their own focus and composure, and (d) the overall utility of evidence obtained. Readiband-generated estimates of daily fatigue were used to predict daily interview outcomes. Results First, when judging alibis’ credibility, officer’s alertness was a strong predictor of lie-detection performance. Specifically, officers who were better at detecting deception across alibi statements were more objectively alert, indicated by faster reaction times (r = .52) and fewer attentional lapses (r = -.67). This better detection performance was largely accounted by stronger skepticism of actual lies. Second, Investigators from the field-interviewing study consistently reported more difficulties maintaining their focus and composure during interviews on days with lower alertness, as well as indicated more subject resistance and less rapport. Conclusion The findings suggest fatigue among criminal investigators (and underlying sleep disruption) is an important factor for how actual law-enforcement field interviews unfold. The findings implicate adequate sleep as a modifiable fitness factor for criminal investigators. Support (if any) Federal Bureau of Investigation Contract #15F06718C000253

The impact of alertness vs. fatigue on interrogators in an actigraphic study of field investigations

Investigative interviews (e.g., interrogations) are a critical component of criminal, military, and civil investigations. However, how levels of alertness (vs. sleepiness) of the interviewer impact outcomes of actual interviews is unknown. To this end, the current study tracked daily fluctuations in alertness among professional criminal investigators to predict their daily experiences with actual field interviews. Fifty law-enforcement investigators wore a sleep-activity tracker for two weeks while keeping a daily-diary of investigative interviews conducted in the field. For each interview, the investigators indicated how well they established rapport with the subject, how much resistance they encountered, how well they maintained their own focus and composure, and the overall utility of intelligence obtained. Daily alertness was biomathematically modeled from actigraphic sleep duration and continuity estimates and used to predict interview characteristics. Investigators consistently reported more difficulties maintaining their focus and composure as well as encountering more subject resistance during interviews on days with lower alertness. Better interview outcomes were also reported on days with subjectively better sleep, while findings were generally robust to inclusion of covariates. The findings implicate adequate sleep as a modifiable fitness factor for collectors of human intelligence.

Claiming Justice: An Analysis of Child Sexual Abuse Complainants’ Justice Goals Reported during Investigative Interviews

Investigative interviewing of children who report sexual victimisation focuses on helping children tell in their own words what happened. Children may say other things important to them such as their justice goals. We conducted the first research into this possibility in an exploratory analysis of 300 transcripts of actual interviews with child complainants aged 3 to 15 years. Building on an earlier study involving adults, we explored what goals children may articulate, when in the interview process their goals are relayed and in response to which interviewer prompts. Our analysis revealed that most children did articulate one or more justice goals during these interviews, especially their desire for acknowledgement of the victimisation and its wrongfulness. Children articulated their justice goals spontaneously and largely without any direct prompting by the police officer. These findings suggest that there is more that institutions [and researchers] can learn from carefully listening to children and understanding them as agents claiming justice.

Swedish dental students’ clinical notes and reflections as part of a case-based examination – challenges for undergraduate education

Clinical records are the basis for clinical reasoning, diagnostics, treatment planning, and management as well as for management of the patient and the outcome of the treatment, and therefore an important aspect of health professionals’ work. Several articles emphasize the importance of adequate and correct content in these records. Previous research shows that even health professionals need to improve the content and structure of their clinical records, for them to give the information needed for various needs. The focus of this article are the clinical records of undergraduate dental students. The aim of the study was to explore patterns of adequate and inadequate content in clinical notes of undergraduate dental students in their final year of education. Secondly, whether these results could provide insights for development of health professions education. Data comprised of 33 cased-based examinations collected during January 2020 at the University Dental Clinic, Department of Dental Medicine, Karolinska Institutet, in Huddinge Sweden. Also, data included teachers’ assessment of these examinations. The texts were analyzed with thematic analysis. Analytical results showed three themes. The first theme, (i) Professional content knowledge, concerned information in patient history, status, diagnostics and treatment plan, and an information ambiguity. The theme also included the students' use of professional terminology and the choice of articles to support reflections. The second theme (ii) incomplete method of investigation involved the actual patient interview, but also students’ various misunderstandings of the template. The third theme was (iii) Academic formalities. This theme concerned students' understanding of the purpose of referencing and its function, but also a non-use of references, the use of irrelevant references, errors in the given citation style, and an incorrect structure of the text according to the template. In conclusion, results showed the need for continuous training in clinical note-taking and reflections during dental students' professional education. In this training, teachers’ assessment is important for students' development of professional literacy and professional judgment. Also, a continuous reminder of science and proven experience as the basis for the profession which is also made visible through academic formalities.

Communicative (inter-)action transcending the police investigative interview room

Police officers anticipate the evidential function and the absentaudience while interviewing and recording investigative interviews. Thisaudience consists of judges charged with taking procedural decisions based,among other things, on their reception of these written records. Qualitativestudies have revealed that interviewers use confrontational questions tocommunicate their doubt regarding the interviewee’s credibility to the audience,and that they formulate the questions in the written record more confrontationallythan in the actual interview for the same reason. However, so far, insufficientknowledge exists about the intended effect: Is the audience receptive to thepolice officer’s doubt when reading the written record? Our paper reportsan experiment testing the effects of this confrontational questioning style. Theresults show that there is, indeed, a communicative (inter-)action transcendingthe police investigative interview room: the audience is receptive to the policeofficer’s doubt transmitted via the questioning style reported in the writtenrecord

How is disability addressed in a job interview?

Evidence reveals that disabled people face discrimination during the hiring process. Nonetheless, knowledge is scarce about how employers and disabled applicants relate to the phenomenon of disability in job interviews. This article explores the understandings of disability emerging from actual job interviews for a company with an expressed diversity policy. By combining the analytical concepts of ‘dialogism’ and ‘staring’, the article illustrates the tendency to use an individualised understanding of disability, thus blocking affirmative understanding and the candidates’ limited agency to perform the role of ‘staree’ in the job interview setting (i.e. advocating for disability as an asset). To facilitate more inclusive hiring practices, employers could explicitly link the diversity statements in their job listings to their inclusion policies in practice to show their concern about staff diversity and work-life inclusion to their candidates.

Supporting interviews with technology: how software integration can benefit participants and interviewers

ABSTRACT The interview experience is only one component of the process of interviewing – software programmes can coordinate the pre-interview steps and begin a digitally-mediated relationship with participants long before the actual interview commences. This essay provides examples of how researchers can maximise their time and energy by digitally coordinating the steps of the interview process, thus reducing the logistical time and stress for all involved. Smoothly tying together the user experience from the first click of interest, to consent, to scheduling, and finally payment, confers many advantages to both the interviewer and interviewee. Based on a study with over 700 online interviews conducted from 2019 to 2022, this article gives insight into the platforms and customisation options that allowed a relatively small research team to conduct a large qualitative study. The automation of portions of the typical process allowed us to spend more of our time and intellectual resources on the interviews and initial analysis rather than logistics. We discuss the process of digital consent, interview scheduling using calendar managers, and standardised communication coordination. We describe the participant experience, give detailed descriptions of how we integrated the software associated with interviews, and provide our insights on the process. This article is a timely guide for qualitative researchers to lessen their load by coordinating the logistics of interviewing more efficiently.

Perceived effectiveness of Curcuma longa (turmeric) as an adjunct therapy for COVID-19 symptoms based on Leventhal’s theory among selected residents in Masbate, Bicol region

A patient's immune status plays an essential role in COVID-19 infection. Different alternative medicines arise, along with the increasing number of patients experiencing the symptoms, considering the limited supply of medication against COVID-19. Non-pharmacological and self-care options were actively pursued by the number of people interested in improving and modifying their healthy lifestyle by using medicinal plants such as the Curcuma longa (turmeric) as an adjunct therapy and prevention option for the illness. In line with this, Leventhal's theory of Common Sense Self-Regulation proposes that people practice emotional and cognitive representations of illness, which serve as the main factors of health behaviors to prevent and manage the disease. With this, individuals' perceptions about COVID-19 will be pertinent to precluding or adjusting to the ailment. Furthermore, Masbate, Bicol region traditional health knowledge is abundant. The use of medicinal plants as first-aid such as colds, fevers, and flu is widespread in Masbate. This study aims to determine the perceived effectiveness of Curcuma longa (Turmeric) as an adjunct therapy for COVID-19 symptoms based on Leventhal's Theory among selected residents in Masbate, Bicol region. The study utilizes a Descriptive-Quantitative approach using the questionnaire made by the researchers with the combination of the Brief-Illness Perception Questionnaire and distributed with the respondents by convenience sampling, snowball sampling, and an actual interview. The pilot test highlighted the reliability of reports as the indicator significantly associated with the respondents' level of satisfaction on the utilization of Curcuma longa (Turmeric).
