PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT IN TRAINING ON THE TRANSITIONING OF LEARNERS WITH INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY FROM SCHOOL TO EMPLOYMENT IN NAIROBI CITY COUNTY, KENYA

This study sought to investigate parental involvement and transitioning of learners with intellectual disabilities from school to employment in Nairobi City County, Kenya. The study utilized a descriptive survey research design. The study targeted 5 SNE centers, 65 SNE teachers, 5 head teachers and 900 parents with learners with ID. Purposive sampling was used to obtain the 5 SNE centers, 65 SNE teachers and 5 head teachers who were used for the study, while stratified sampling techniques were used to obtain 90 parents to participate in the study. Questionnaires for SNE teachers, interview schedules for head teachers, and focus group discussions for parents were administered for primary data collection. The validity and reliability of the instruments was ascertained through pilot testing. Data collected was subjected to Statistical Packages for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 27 for analysis and presented using frequency tables, percentages and figures. The study findings revealed concerning gaps and challenges. Teachers expressed mixed perceptions regarding parental understanding of ID needs (11.3% strongly disagreeing, 16.1% disagreeing, 27.4% unsure, 33.9% agreeing, 11.3% strongly agreeing). Similarly, there were discrepancies in perceptions of parental involvement in training programs (11.3% strongly disagreeing) and satisfaction with communication about transition (22.6% strongly disagreeing). The study concluded that parental involvement is critical in supporting the successful transition of learners with ID from school to employment. The dissatisfaction expressed by teachers regarding the overall collaboration and transition planning process indicates a clear need for schools to enhance communication strategies, establish structured engagement opportunities, and provide more support for parental involvement. The study recommended that school administrators should promote inclusive policies that mandate schools to engage parents as equal partners in the identification and planning processes for learners with ID. Provide resources and training for educators to facilitate effective collaboration with parents, ensuring that transition plans are tailored to meet each child's unique needs. The Ministry of Education, through quality assurance, should conduct training sessions for educators focused on effective communication strategies with parents of learners with ID. These sessions should emphasize the importance of clear, accessible, and culturally sensitive communication.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0735/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Design of Cryptopol: A serious game for teaching cryptocurrency tracing techniques to Law Enforcement

Tracing cryptocurrency transactions is a far from trivial process. This likely explains the increasing utilization by criminal networks for a significant amount of criminal activity, not just cybercrime, but any crime requiring monetary transfers [1]. It is therefore vitally important that adequate training exists and is readily available for both new and experienced investigators to ensure that they are familiar with the latest techniques, tools and trends. Traditional training methods can be costly and resource intensive, requiring highly qualified trainers to give their time to conduct training sessions. To address this issue, a training resource, in the form of a serious game, has been created. The game aims to provide a platform to improve the skills and expertise of law enforcement officers whilst reducing the workload of experienced investigators. This paper describes the collaborative design and development of the serious game Cryptopol in a partnership between Europol and CENTRIC, which is a multi-disciplinary and end-user focused Center of Excellence, located within Sheffield Hallam University. Cryptopol is the first cryptocurrency-tracing training game of its kind, used by over 1,500 people representing over 550 law enforcement agencies from across the world.

Harnessing peer mentorship as a tool to turn human resource for health brain drain into brain gain: a case study of a Nigerian peer-mentored research group

BackgroundPeer mentorship can be a potential tool to reduce the disparities in health research capacity between high- and low- and middle-income countries. This case study describes the potential of peer mentorship to tackle two critical issues: bridging health research capacity of doctors from low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) and the transformation of human resource for health brain drain into "brain gain".Case presentationIn 2021, a virtual peer mentorship group was established by 16 alumni of the University of Benin College of Medical Sciences' 2008 graduating class, residing across three continents. This program aimed to facilitate research collaboration and skill development among colleagues with diverse research experience levels, fostering a supportive environment for career development in research. The group relied heavily on digital technology to carry out its activities due to the different geographical locations of the group members. Led by experienced peer leaders, the group fostered a collaborative learning environment where members leveraged each other's expertise. Within 18 months, we published two research papers in high-impact peer-reviewed global health journals, launched a mixed-methods research study, and conducted training sessions on research design and implementation. Findings from our work were presented at conferences and workshops. However, logistical hurdles, competing priorities, structural constraints, and uneven participation presented challenges.ConclusionThe peer mentorship collaboration has achieved some successes so far, and this model can be emulated by other cohorts of medical professionals across LMICs. Despite the group's success at a micro- or individual level, there remain significant structural barriers to research capacity building in LMICs that can only be addressed at the meso- and macro-levels by institutions and government, respectively. A systems-level approach is required to develop and support research capacity building and foster global research collaboration and effectively turn brain drain into brain gain.

ISPO introduction program for independent smallholders: Initial steps towards mandatory ISPO 2025

The government, through Peraturan Presiden RI Nomor 44 Tahun 2020, mandates Indonesian Sustainable Palm Oil (ISPO) certification for smallholder farmers within five years of its enactment. However, by December 2022, only 32 farmer groups had achieved ISPO certification. The Gunung Ambat Farmers Group, which has already received funds from the PSR program, is one of the independent farmer groups with the potential to acquire ISPO accreditation. Yet, members' understanding of this certification remains low due to a lack of socialization or training from the government or other entities. This initiative aims to promote the regulation and provide training on the concepts and requirements for ISPO certification. Activities include administering questionnaires to assess knowledge, conducting training sessions, engaging in puzzle games, and practicing the documentation of farming activities. The results indicate significant improvements in farmers' understanding before and after the training. Initially, farmers had no knowledge of ISPO certification; however, post-training, over 70 percent of participants understood the certification, with an average of 35 percent comprehending its principles and criteria. Participants are also encouraged to document their farming progress, enhancing their skills in farming business documentation and administrative tasks.

Workshop on eco-enzyme production as the implementation of zero waste concept at SD Muhammadiyah PK Kottabarat Surakarta

68% of household waste consists of organic waste, which significantly contributes to environmental pollution and can cause disruption if not managed properly. Unfortunately, proper management of organic waste is lacking, with a predominant method of disposal being dumping in empty land, waterways, or burning. However, organic waste holds potential for eco-friendly solutions such as eco enzymes. The objective of this community service initiative was to train individuals in producing eco enzymes from organic waste at SD Muhammadiyah PK Kottabarat Surakarta. The activities included educating the community about organic waste processing and conducting training sessions on eco enzyme production, including packaging and labeling. As a result of these efforts, teachers and students at SD Muhammadiyah Kottabarat gained the skills to utilize leftover fruit and vegetable waste, producing a total of 18 liters of eco enzymes.

Stress state analysis of a cylindrical tank with water of an under water sports palace

The paper analyzes the stress state of a cylindrical tank, which is one of the main structural elements of a sports facility - an underwater sports palace. In the calculation of the cylindrical shell of the tank of constant thickness, the moment theory was used. The reservoir is, in fact, a swimming pool for conducting training sessions on underwater swimming in fins, diving, diving, is considered fixed in its base and filled with liquid (water of a special composition, homogeneous in depth, with a given specific gravity). It is known that integration of the calculation equations of the moment theory (of circular cylindrical shells), namely: a) differential equations of equilibrium; b) equations of deformations; c) equations of forces attributed to the unit length of the coordinate line (tangential forces, bending moments), is a complex mathematical problem associated with solving a system of partial differential equations with variable coefficients. Only the calculation of the curve of a cylindrical shell ultimately leads to a system of differential equations with constant coefficients. Under the assumption of significant depth of the tank compared to the thickness of its walls and the value of the radius of the cylinder base (which allows us to consider it as infinitely long), displacements and forces (tangential and transverse), bending moments are analytically found. The locations of the cylinder surface points, in which the indicated forces and moments acquire maximum values, have been determined; sketches of their diagrams, determining the character of change of these physical quantities (parameters) along the height of the tank, have been given. The results obtained in the work can be further used to clarify and improve engineering methods of calculation of structural elements of sports facilities of this type, both at the stages of their design and in the modes of real operation in order to prevent situations associated with the loss of their strength and stability.

Hospital padrino: a collaborative strategy model to tackle maternal mortality: a mixed methods study in a middle-income region

Reducing maternal mortality ratio (MMR) remains a paramount goal for low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), especially after COVID-19's devastating impact on maternal health indicators. We describe our experience implementing the Hospital Padrino Strategy (HPS), a collaborative model between a high-complexity hospital (Fundación Valle del Lili) and 43 medium- and low-complexity hospitals in one Colombian department (an administrative and territorial division) from 2021 to 2022, to sustain the trend towards reducing MMR. The study aimed to assess the effects of implementing HPS on both hospital performance and maternal health indicators in Valle del Cauca department (VCD). A mixed-methods study was conducted, comprising two phases. In the first phase, we investigated a cohort of hospitals through prospective follow-up to assess the outcomes of HPS implementation on hospital performance and maternal health indicators in VCD. In the second phase, qualitative data were collected through focus groups with 131 health workers from 33 hospitals to explore the implications of the HPS implementation on healthcare personnel. All data were obtained from records within the HPS implementation and from the Health Secretary of VCD. Evidence shows that in the context of HPS, 51 workshops involved 980 healthcare workers, covering the entire territory. Substantial improvements were observed in hospital conditions and healthcare personnel's technical competencies when providing obstetric care. Seven hundred eighty-five pregnant women with obstetric or perinatal emergencies received care through telehealth systems, with a progressive increase in technology adoption. Nine percent required Intensive Care Unit (ICU) admission, and none died. The MMR decreased from 78.8 in 2021 to 12.0 cases per 100,000 live births by 2022. Improvements in indicators and conducted training sessions instilled confidence and empowerment among the healthcare teams in the sponsored hospitals, as evidenced in focus groups derived from a sample of 131 healthcare workers from 33 hospitals. Implementing the Hospital Padrino Strategy led to a significant MMR reduction, and consolidated a model of social healthcare innovation replicable in LMICs. The Hospital Padrino Strategy was funded by the Fundación Valle del Lili and the Health Secretary of Valle del Cauca. Furthermore, this study received funding from a general grant for research from Tecnoquimicas S.A.

Challenges in Acceptance of Smartphone-Based Assistive Technologies: Extending the UTAUT Model for People With Visual Impairments

Introduction: Despite the plethora of sensor-based assistive technology solutions, there is still no widespread acceptance and adoption by people who are blind or have low vision (i.e., visually impaired). Many reasons prevent reducing abandonment levels with a prominent one being a lack of focus on the dimension of training, which, from our standpoint, is integral to the acceptance of assistive technologies. To prove the importance of training, we extend and validate a new version of the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model incorporating training as a factor. Methods: Closed- and open-ended questionnaires were given online and offline to 231 participants with visual impairments after conducting training sessions with an application for outdoor navigation by people with visual impairments developed by our research team. To assess the UTAUT extension exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, and structural equation model were employed to explore the relationships between the factors. A usability and user experience qualitative analysis supplemented the previous. Results: We uncovered that no factor besides performance expectancy (standardized regression weight = 0.264, p < .001) and training (standardized regression weight = 0.538, p < .001) significantly predict behavioral intention. Furthermore, the analysis demonstrated a significant interaction ( p < .007) strengthening the positive relationship between training and behavioral intention (standardized regression weight = 0.142). The qualitative analysis showed an overall positive evaluation highlighting the application's usefulness and dependability. Discussion: An application's adoption increases if individuals who are visually impaired are properly trained and acquainted with the features in real-life scenarios and recognize the application's utility for their daily lives. Implications for Practitioners: Training plays an important role in technology acceptance. It can be leveraged to make solutions more appealing to people who are visually impaired.

Methods of using interactive technologies in technical university

The article is devoted to the theoretical justification of the necessity of using forms of interactive foreign language teaching in higher education institutions on the example of students of “Logopaedics”, as well as to the experimental verification of the necessary pedagogical conditions for it. Methods of interactive learning are rarely used in pedagogical practice, because most programmes are rather conservative and do not provide for active work of students. The following pedagogical conditions are proposed for the implementation of interactive foreign language teaching: activation of the students’ educational and professional activity by increasing their motivation for professional foreign language activity, change of the teacher’s position from the leader to the dual position of the organiser-participant of the joint educational activity, use of interactive methods and forms of conducting training sessions, development of the content of the academic discipline in the direction of interactive learning.

Information Systems (IS) have become an essential tool in supporting management and services at the community level. In the context of RW 06, Kelurahan Air Putih, Pekanbaru, Riau, the need for an efficient and effective system has become increasingly urgent. Therefore, through the Real Work Lecture Program (KKN) UMRI Smart, we have adopted and adapted OpenSID to meet the needs of RW 06, especially RT 01 to RT 06. The primary objective of this adaptation was to modernize administration and enhance information services for residents. By integrating technology and a participatory approach, we aim to create a more informed and connected environment. The adjustments made were not only technical but also pertaining to the content and the manner of presenting information, thus making it relevant to the context of the RW and RT in Kelurahan Air Putih. The results of the activities indicate that OpenSID has successfully increased administrative efficiency in RW 06 by facilitating access to information and population data management. The conducted training sessions effectively enhanced users' understanding and skills in system operations. The survey conducted among 6 RTs showed a positive response, with an average of 60% of respondents feeling at ease interacting with the system interface. In contrast, only about 16.67% did not share this sentiment, and 23.33% were neutral. In particular, the majority of respondents considered the training materials helpful, with a high level of satisfaction regarding the system's performance and functions. Nonetheless, there were several challenges, such as user adaptation to new technology, as seen from the percentage feeling 'Moderate' in certain aspects, and the need for additional feature development to increase user convenience. This activity provides insights into the benefits and challenges of implementing OpenSID at the RW level and highlights the importance of ongoing training and support for the success of digital transformation in local communities
