DEVELOPMENT OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY COMPETENCE IN PRE-SCHOOL AND PRE-PRIMARY SCHOOL TEACHERS DURING THE EDUCATION PROCESS

This article discusses the significance of digital technologies in education and how they should be integrated into the learning process. While technologies can serve as valuable tools in education, their effective application in working with preschool and pre-primary children poses challenges due to children's developmental characteristics, specific needs, and educators' competencies in integrating information technologies (IT) into the learning process. The study aims to assess the expression of IT competence among preschool and pre-primary educators. The research methods include scientific literature and document analysis, a written survey (questionnaire), and both quantitative and qualitative data analysis. The analysis of scientific literature and documents highlights that preschool and pre-primary educators' IT competence encompasses key abilities such as digital content creation, digital communication, safety, and problem-solving. Essential skills include using IT applications and digital tools (computers, tablets, interactive whiteboards) to enhance children's artistic expression and writing skills, as well as understanding and effectively communicating digital terminology to children. The study also identifies opportunities for integrating IT into the learning process, such as educational games, video content viewing, online collaboration, information retrieval, content creation, and voice recording exploration. Empirical findings reveal that most respondents can define IT competence and recognize its increasing importance. Interactive floors and interactive whiteboards are the most commonly used digital tools in early childhood education. However, educators often face challenges such as a lack of IT resources, slow internet connectivity, limited time for IT use, and insufficient knowledge or time for professional development. IT is frequently used for exploring e-books, fairy tales, maps, educational videos, and online information searches. However, tools such as voice recorders, printers, and cameras are rarely utilized, and activities such as creating presentations, illustrations, remote communication, and playing educational games remain infrequent.

Relationship Among Social Isolation, Gender, and Marital Status in Retirees: The Mediating Role of Social Participation.

Social isolation poses significant risks to older adults' well-being, yet the mechanisms driving their demographic differences remain unclear. The current study investigated whether social participation mediates the relationship among social isolation, gender, and marital status among retirees. A secondary analysis of AARP survey data (N = 6,664) was conducted. Mediation analyses examined the indirect effects of gender and marital status on social isolation through social participation. Participants were predominantly adults aged ≥50 years with low to moderate income. Women and married individuals showed higher social participation and lower social isolation. There was a significant direct effect of being female and being married on social isolation, and also a significant indirect effect through social participation. Interventions should consider diverse vulnerable groups. Although unmarried men may benefit from tailored social programs, broader strategies, inclusive of gender and marital status dynamics, are essential. Tailored programs targeting unmarried men could foster social participation, thereby reducing social isolation and promoting healthy aging. [Journal of Gerontological Nursing, xx(x), xx-xx.].

Emotional State Assessment and Related Risk Factors Screening in Health Management: A Case–Control Study

Abstract Background: Rapid economic development and increased life pressures have led to a surge in the prevalence of anxiety and depression in China, particularly among adults. Despite their impact on cognitive and physical function, there has been limited research on these conditions in healthy individuals during routine health checkups. This study aimed to explore the emotional state and its influencing factors among healthy individuals without confirmed mental illness, highlighting the significance of incorporating emotional health screening into routine health management practices. Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of physical examination and questionnaire survey data from 1,758 individuals in a large state-owned enterprise collected between February 1, 2023, and April 30, 2023. The possible confounding factors of the case group and the control group were matched by propensity score according to a ratio of 1:1. Demographic characteristics, lifestyle factors, medical history, and psychological assessment data were analyzed, and risk factors for anxiety and depression were identified using multivariate logistic regression analysis. Results: The prevalence of anxiety and depression in this study population was 14.39% and 24.40%, respectively. Comparisons between the case and control groups revealed statistically significant differences in several factors, including education level, marital status, daily activity time, sleep quality, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, hyperuricemia, diabetes, coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, number of outpatient visits in the past year, frequency of tea consumption, and tea-making habits. Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified the following risk factors for anxiety and depression: short sleep duration, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and regular tea consumption. In contrast, engaging in 1–3 h of physical activity per day was found to be a protective factor against anxiety and depression. Conclusion: In the current fast-paced social environment, employees of large enterprises often face high-intensity work pressures and complex workplace challenges. Anxiety and depression were common in the healthy groups, with no confirmed records of mental illness. Screening for these conditions in routine physical examinations can facilitate the early detection, treatment, and intervention of related risk factors. Such measures may alleviate symptoms, improve chronic disease management, and enhance overall quality of life.

Research gaps in the correlation of anxiety and depression prevalence in former college athletes: a systematic review.

There is not much current literature looking at anxiety and depression in athletes transitioning out of college sports into the real world. This study identified gaps in the current mental health literature for former college athletes and what interventions are currently being offered to help them. By utilizing the gaps identified in the current literature, we provided recommendations for educational programs that are modeled on the programs that professional sports leagues offer while utilizing the existing college infrastructure. We also encourage future research to perform longitudinal studies following these athletes as they transition from sports. Collegiate sports participation is integral to culture and identity. Transitioning from athletics to regular life often leads to significant mental health concerns. Abrupt lifestyle and identity changes can result in dietary, career, and health consequences that impact athletes' mental well-being. While some data addresses this transition, research focused on developing best practices to support athletes during this period remains limited. This study aims to conduct a systematic review to identify the existing research and gaps concerning the described supports in mental health, particularly depression and anxiety, in retired athletes. A systematic review was conducted following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Scoping Review (PRISMA-ScR) guidelines. We analyzed original research, literature reviews, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, clinical trials, and case studies. Articles were sourced from PubMed (MEDLINE), Embase, Scopus, Cochrane, and Web of Science. A total of 169 articles were identified, with 61 selected for full-text screening and nine included in the study. These nine articles comprised fourcross-sectional studies analyzing survey data, four systematic or scoping reviews, and one qualitative analysis. While all articles addressed depression or anxiety, most focused on individuals returning to exercise post-injury and quality oflife. Current research highlights the needs of collegiate, professional, and retired athletes. Limited literature exists on former collegiate athletes, with available studies emphasizing university programs to ease transitions and help athletes apply their skills in retirement. Research gaps include examining programs across divisions and sports, minimizing self-reporting surveys, and conducting longitudinal studies. Future efforts should focus on addressing these gaps to better support athletes transitioning to life beyond sports.

Use of voluntary alignment in the Next Generation ACO model.

To describe adoption and use of voluntary alignment throughout the Next Generation Accountable Care Organization (NGACO) model from 2016 through 2021. Voluntary alignment allows Medicare beneficiaries to self-attribute to a particular medical provider or organization by signing a form or making a selection in the MyMedicare.gov portal. We performed mixed-methods analyses of cross-sectional survey, enrollment, and claims data and coding transcripts of interviews with NGACO leadership. We statistically compared characteristics of NGACOs and beneficiaries that engaged in voluntary alignment compared to claims alignment. Additionally, we grouped qualitative interview responses into 2 overarching themes that emerged around NGACO leaders' perceptions, use, and experiences with voluntary alignment. Few NGACOs engaged in widespread use of voluntary alignment. NGACOs that adopted voluntary alignment were similar to those that did not in most respects, although beneficiaries aligned through voluntary alignment were sicker and more expensive than those aligned through claims only. Many NGACO leaders reported they were content with claims-based alignment and did not think implementing initiatives to increase voluntary alignment would be worthwhile. The analysis suggests possible lessons for using voluntary alignment in future ACO models. NGACO leaders perceived that the use of voluntary alignment was limited by a high implementation effort, a need for patient education, and tight administrative time frames. Perceived benefits of voluntary alignment included attribution flexibility and creating opportunities for beneficiary engagement. Some leaders suggested allowing year-round voluntary alignment sign-up to better integrate voluntary alignment into their regular office workflows.

Factors Associated With Clinician Confidence in Communication During Goals of Care Discussions.

Background: High-quality goals of care (GOC) discussions should be founded on shared decision-making (SDM) - eliciting patients' values and preferences while providing adequate information for patients to make decisions. One metric that can assess GOC discussion quality is the degree to which patients are adequately informed. Objective: Identify clinician GOC discussion attitudes and behaviors associated with clinician confidence that they conveyed adequate information to patients. Methods: We conducted a secondary analysis of national survey data from Veterans Affairs clinicians assessing attitudes toward and behaviors during GOC discussions about life-sustaining therapy. We used stepwise multivariable logistic regression models to identify factors associated with clinician confidence that they provided patients with adequate information to make informed decisions following discussions. Results: Among the 253 clinician respondents, there was high confidence that they provided adequate information (Mean = 4.09 on a 5-point scale, SD = 0.69, Median = 4.0). Higher confidence was associated with practicing in Geriatrics/Palliative Care in bivariate analyses, but not when controlling for clinician behaviors during GOC discussions. In the final multivariable model, two behaviors were statistically significantly associated with increased confidence: "identify proxy/surrogate" (β = 0.21, P = 0.015) and "suggest decision consistent with patients' values" (β = 0.16, P = 0.045). These behaviors also occurred significantly more often in Geriatrics/Palliative Care compared to other specialties. Conclusion: Specific clinician behaviors in GOC discussions differed across specialties and were significantly associated with clinicians' confidence that they conveyed adequate information. Our findings can inform strategies to enhance communication training across specialties and improve care processes to support clinicians in performing behaviors conducive to high-quality GOC discussions.

The need for social recognition: the impact of teachers’ professional honor on their intention to move to urban schools in rural China

The migration of teachers from rural to urban areas is a global challenge, with significant implications for educational equity and quality. In China, teacher migration has exacerbated educational disparities between rural and urban regions. Whilst previous research has examined a range of factors influencing teacher turnover, this study focuses on the concept of professional honor as a fundamental motivator for teacher migration in China. We use Axel Honneth’s perspective on social recognition to expand on the meaning, draw connections with research from other countries and to articulate the underpinning structural conditions of the Chinese way of thinking about and enacting professional honor. Employing a conditional process model, we analyse survey data from 1,320 rural teachers across seven provinces to examine the complex interrelations between the Need for Social Recognition, perceptions of public and personal professional honor, and intentions to migrate to urban schools. Our findings demonstrate that while public professional honor is negatively associated with migration intentions, personal professional honor moderates this relationship, amplifying the impact of perceived recognition needs. By positioning professional honor at the center of theoretical explanations for teacher migration, this study offers new insights into the mechanisms underpinning teacher retention and provides a foundation for more culturally responsive policy interventions in China and beyond.

There's still no meat: Revisiting the idea of Republican vegans.

Existing academic research has highlighted a connection between dietary habits and political beliefs. An individual's dietary choices can mean more than just the need or pleasure of eating. Dietary choice can also be tied to a personal identity, in which food consumption reinforces through other beliefs and in-group identities, including partisan affiliation and political ideology. This study analyzes survey data from the Natural Marketing Institute's (NMI) 2019 Lifestyles of Health and Sustainability (LOHAS) survey and compares the results to Mosier and Rimal's original evaluation using the NMI's 2016 LOHAS survey data. The results show most Americans continue to have a meat-based diet irrespective of political party, with gender being the most consistent and robust explanatory factor for dietary choice. However, there are some notable shifts in dietary choice and significance for certain partisan affiliations that highlight how in-group dynamics may be reflective of attitude and behavioral norms.

Integrating UTAUT and social exchange theory to decipher knowledge-sharing in crowdsourcing

Microtask crowdsourcing platforms enable rapid, large-scale completion of simple tasks by a globally distributed workforce. This study investigates the factors influencing knowledge-sharing behaviours among crowdworkers, integrating the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) with Social Exchange Theory (SET) to provide a comprehensive understanding of these dynamics. Using Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) to analyse survey data from 413 crowdworkers, the study identifies key drivers such as Performance Expectancy (PE), Effort Expectancy (EE), and Rewards, which significantly impact both Knowledge-sharing Intention (KSI) and Behaviour (KSB). Our findings highlight the importance of user-friendly and accessible digital tools in promoting active knowledge-sharing within online communities. Effort Expectancy directly influences Knowledge-sharing Behaviour, highlighting the importance of usability in sustaining platform adoption. This research confirms the robustness of the UTAUT model and extends it with social exchange elements to offer new insights into human aspects of information systems.

Exploring large language models for L2 metaphonological awareness tutoring

Abstract This is the first observational study to evaluate the feasibility of implementing large language models (LLMs) for second language (L2) metaphonological awareness training. A custom implementation of GPT-4 acting as a homework tutor was piloted in an English phonetics and phonology course for first-year university students. Two novel homework assignments were designed to leverage the LLM’s strengths and explore its weaknesses. Analysis of learner interaction logs, homework reflections, and survey data revealed that most learners perceived the AI Tutor as helpful for its personalised explanations. However, the overall sentiment was mixed due to the LLM’s propensity for confabulation. Despite these challenges, the pilot demonstrated the potential for LLMs to engage learners in active and self-regulated learning. Recommendations for future directions include designing LLM-based learning environments, promoting AI literacy among educators and learners, and experimentally researching long-term effects of AI tutors on learning outcomes.

The influence of perceived cultural distance on Chinese tourists’ travel intention to Malaysia: The mediating roles of perceived risk and personality traits

The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) has enhanced Malaysia-China cooperation, boosting trade and tourism, yet limited research examines the factors influencing Chinese tourists’ travel intentions toward Malaysia, particularly from a perceived cultural distance (PCD) perspective. This study integrates the Stimulus-Organism-Response (S-O-R) theory and Self-Determination Theory (SDT) to propose a novel model analyzing how perceived cultural distance (PCD), perceived risk (PR), and personality traits shape travel intention (TI). Focusing on Chinese tourists’ willingness to visit Malaysia, the study employs PLS-SEM to analyze survey data, aiming to (1) establish a new theoretical framework in travel intention research, (2) pioneer the combined application of S-O-R and SDT theories, and (3) offer practical insights to strengthen Sino-Malaysian tourism.

Youth Capability Ecosystems and Strategic Business Models: Leveraging Market Segmentation for Sustainable Development in Emerging Economies

ABSTRACTAs businesses increasingly seek to align commercial strategies with development goals in emerging markets, understanding the complex youth capability landscape becomes crucial for sustainable growth and impact. This research examines how businesses can align commercial strategies with sustainable development goals by understanding youth capability ecosystems in emerging markets, focusing on Bangladesh as a representative case. Through a mixed‐methods approach with advanced data science techniques, we analyzed survey data from 400 youth respondents in Dhaka to identify distinct market segments based on capability profiles. Our methodological triangulation applying K‐Means clustering (silhouette score: 0.670), Hierarchical clustering (0.778), and DBSCAN (0.782) revealed four robust youth segments with unique development potentials: high potential entrepreneurs, digital workforce, traditional employment seekers, and skill development candidates. Network analysis identified digital proficiency as the most central capability (betweenness centrality: 0.58), demonstrating strong correlations with career confidence (0.93) and entrepreneurial intent (0.92). Business model suitability analysis quantified segment‐specific alignment patterns, with entrepreneurship incubators showing exceptional alignment with high potential entrepreneurs (score approaching 1.0) and digital workforce platforms strongly aligning with the digital workforce segment (0.85). SDG alignment analysis revealed that High Potential Entrepreneurs demonstrate strongest alignment with SDG 9: industry, innovation and infrastructure (0.77), while digital workforce shows substantial alignment with SDG 8: decent work (0.69). These findings provide a robust framework for strategic youth engagement in emerging markets, enabling businesses to create shared value while contributing to sustainable development. The study advances both theoretical understanding of youth capability ecosystems and practical approaches to inclusive business models in emerging economies experiencing demographic transitions.
