Increasing health degree by implementing health checks for residents of Silaberanti Village

The success of health development includes increasing public awareness and willingness to adopt healthy behaviors. In line with this, this community service activity aims to improve people's understanding of their personal health conditions and awareness of the importance of health screening or medical check-ups. Health examinations were conducted in RT 31 and RT 32 of Silaberanti Village. The methods used were cholesterol, uric acid, blood pressure, blood type, and height and weight checks. After the checks, it was found that 98% of participants had normal uric acid levels, 67% had high cholesterol levels, and 41% had high blood pressure above 140/90. The feeling experienced by the community after the health check was an increased awareness of their health conditions, so that if there were any health problems, they could be detected as soon as possible and treated as soon as possible.

Becoming Lyrical: Poems That Depict Our Reflective Journeys In Online Teaching

Online and blended learning over the years have brought great challenges and opportunities. At the beginning of this project, we asked: How do educators reflect on teaching online in particular? And how do we articulate our reflections in creative ways? With these questions in mind, the authors took on the challenge of the artistic expression of writing and reading poetry to reflect critically and creatively on our experiences of teaching online in higher education. By drawing connections between theory and our poetry we provide insight into our lessons learned from teaching online. We conclude with encouragement to use creative writing to foster a collective and reflective environment in higher education and for personal awareness and growth.

An innovative fractional-order evolutionary game theoretical study of personal protection, quarantine, and isolation policies for combating epidemic diseases

This study uses imposed control techniques and vaccination game theory to study disease dynamics with transitory or diminishing immunity. Our model uses the ABC fractional-order derivative mechanism to show the effect of non-pharmaceutical interventions such as personal protection or awareness, quarantine, and isolation to simulate the essential control strategies against an infectious disease spread in an infinite and uniformly distributed population. A comprehensive evolutionary game theory study quantified the significant influence of people’s vaccination choices, with government forces participating in vaccination programs to improve obligatory control measures to reduce epidemic spread. This model uses the intervention options described above as a control strategy to reduce disease prevalence in human societies. Again, our simulated results show that a combined control strategy works exquisitely when the disease spreads even faster. A sluggish dissemination rate slows an epidemic outbreak, but modest control techniques can reestablish a disease-free equilibrium. Preventive vaccination regulates the border between the three phases, while personal protection, quarantine, and isolation methods reduce disease transmission in existing places. Thus, successfully combining these three intervention measures reduces epidemic or pandemic size, as represented by line graphs and 3D surface diagrams. For the first time, we use a fractional-order derivate to display the phase-portrayed trajectory graph to show the model’s dynamics if immunity wanes at a specific pace, considering various vaccination cost and effectiveness settings.

Triggers and conducive factors for reflection in university students: a focus group study

ABSTRACT Although previous research highlights the importance of reflection in higher education, little is known about the type of triggers and contexts that promote authentic reflection in university students who are in academic classroom environments. This qualitative study addresses this question based on content analysis done on eight focus groups consisting of a total of 45 university students. Results revealed that authentic reflection was triggered by adverse and positive situations, challenging interpersonal interactions, emotional responses to events, performance data and proactive enquiry. Furthermore, findings highlighted the relevance of Self-Determination Theory as a guiding framework for describing contextual factors conducive to reflection: student reflection benefited from a positive interactive context, autonomy for reflection, a variety of opportunities to reflect and guidance in the form of mentors or workshops. Conversely, exam pressure and effortful periods reduced the likelihood of student reflection. Finally, results indicated that students engaged in reflection to raise personal awareness, improve academic and personal performance, and change their beliefs, attitudes, feelings, and behaviours. Implications for practice are given.

Evaluating Online Security Behavior: Development and Validation of a Personal Cybersecurity Awareness Scale for University Students

КӨРКЕМ ШЫҒАРМАЛАРДАҒЫ ПСИХОЛОГИЗМНІҢ КӨРІНІСІ

The article discusses in detail the concept of "psychologism", which has not yet been fully studied in Kazakh literature. Psychologism is closely related to literature, because since the main object of a work of art is a person, it is obvious that human activity and psychology are also reflected in the work. Consequently, psychologism is the connecting link between literature and psychology. The article reveals the concept of psychologizm, its types, characteristic artistic and stylistic features, scienttifically systematized and analyzed on the basis of the works of scientists contributing to Razakh literary criticism. Based on the research works of Bakytzhan Maitanov "Kazakh novels and psychological analysis", "The spiritual world of Kaharman", Gulziya Prali "Problems of psychologism in fiction", aspects of psychologism in Kazakh prose are differentiated. Excerpts from the works of Mukhtar Auezov, Zhusupbek Aimautov, Magzhan Zhumabayev, Sherkhan Murtaza, Tolen Abdikov, Askar Altai are given, the ways of manifestation and transmission of psychology in a work of art are systematized. At the same time, using examples from specific works, the means of representing psychologism in a literary work are demonstrated, namely, the function of internal monologue and dialogue in revealing the charachter and mental state of the character. The proctssts of formation and development of literary psychologism are highlighted, its festhetic expression in a work of art is determined. The main features characteristic of psyhologichal prost are considered, and the issue of psyhological style in depictions of the hero's personality is also explored. The unique place of the dream motif, which takes its origins from folklore samples, in literary prose and the innovation of tradition is highlited. The issues of the flow of consciousness, psychological analysis, and split personality in a work of art are considered.

Oral Health Hygiene Status And Factors Related To Oral Health Of Soldiers Of Bangladesh Army Attended Mobile Dressing Station (MDS), Khagrachari Cantonment

Background: Oral health is the state of the mouth, oral cavity, teeth and oro-facial structures that enables individuals to perform essential functions like eating, breathing and speaking, and encompasses psychosocial dimensions such as self-confidence, well-being and the ability to work without pain, discomfort and embarrassment. The aim of this study was to asses oral health hygiene status and to bring into focus the factors related to oral health of the soldiers serving in Bangladesh Army and also to find out the factors related to behavior, the oral health status and socio demographic status among them. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 108 purposively selected soldiers of Bangladesh Army who attended Mobile Dressing Station (MDS), Khagrachari Cantonment during the period of August to September 2022. Data were collected by face to face interview using a semi-structured questionnaire and by check list reviewing medical documents. Results: The Mean (±SD) age of the participants was 32.50(±2.08) years and ages of them were between 20-45 years. Among the participants, 78.70% were married, 54.62% and 45.38% were SSC and HSC qualified respectively. Maximum participants (76%) used to brush their teeth in the morning. 86% participants used tooth paste and 11.12% participants used tooth powder as cleaning materials. Usually 48% visited dental clinic for gum bleeding. 71% of the participants had no bad habits of affecting the oral health except 15% were with a habit of smoking. Among 46% participants with abnormal gingival colour, had the habit of taking gul (6.9%), some participants (9.35%) with the habit of smoking were found with bleeding gum. A remarkable number of respondents (6.24%) with gum swelling had the habit of taking gul. Among all, 44% of the participants had swelling of gum. 43% of participants had abnormal gingival colour and 5% had gingival ulceration. Conclusion: Lack of personal and oral health awareness among the soldiers lead to various types of oral disease which needs to exhilarate for a healthy life.

The place of legal obligations in the system of social obligations

The emergence and gradual development of human society, as well as the need to regulate relations between individuals within such a society, lead to the emergence of the first elementary rules of behavior. Undoubtedly, such rules arise spontaneously in the process of living together, have an oral form of expression and are supported by early traditions and customs. Gradually, the dynamic development of society causes complications and branching of ties between its members, giving impetus to the appearance of more regulated and established rules of behavior, namely, a system of social norms. The system of social norms is created and developed throughout the history of mankind, adapting to the emergence of new needs and interests of society. That is why this system is characterized by objectivity, as it expresses the laws of the development of society, its specificity, fixing stable and repeated social connections. At the same time, it is worth taking into account the subjective factor in the formation of social norms, since they cannot arise without the participation of public consciousness. The subjective nature of social norms is determined by the possibility of individuals and social groups to realize the needs of society in establishing value guidelines for behavior and to establish them in various rules or prescriptions, having formed a certain level of legal consciousness that would correspond to the level of development of society. So, on the one hand, social norms are created by people and have a conscious-volitional character, and on the other hand, they are determined by the action of objective laws that do not depend on a person. Thus, social norms can be defined as rules of behavior of a general nature existing in society, determined by objective laws, which express the will of a certain part of the population or the entire society and are provided by various means of social influence. At the nascent stage of the system of social norms, most of it consisted of social obligations and sanctions for their non-compliance, which were determined by the system of society at that time. Social duties arise together with the appearance in human society of the germs of morality and a person's awareness of his responsibility to his family and tribe. Accordingly, with the development of humanity and the diversification of social interactions, the institution of duty was modified, acquiring new features and giving impetus to the emergence of moral, religious, and later legal duties. A legal obligation arises and develops in a close relationship with other types of social obligations, in particular - moral, religious, corporate, so we consider it expedient to compare and compare them.

A Qualitative Exploration of Chinese Rural College Students’ Career Development: A Psychology of Working Perspective

Rural college youth encounter numerous challenges in securing decent education and work. However, there has been scant research on their career development from a vocational psychology perspective. Drawing from the Psychology of Working Theory (PWT), we examined the contextual and personal factors that shape their work volition and perceptions of future decent work. We conducted semistructural interviews with 12 Chinese rural college students and employed Consensual Qualitative Research (CQR) method to analyze the data. Our findings revealed that their vocational barriers included economic constraints, inadequate educational resources, limited access to decent internship opportunities, and lack of study-related electronics. However, their coping stratgies to overcome these constraints included social support, notably from teachers, as well as positive attributes such as critical consciousness and proactive personality. Regarding future employment, participants valued job stability, a balance between work and life, the ability to provide for their families, and displayed prosocial and growth orientations. These findings provided support for the applicability of PWT in understanding the vocational trajectories of rural college students in a non-Western context. The implications of these findings for future research and vocational interventions are discussed.

Insights into the relationship between eye movements and personality traits in restricted visual fields

Previous studies have suggested behavioral patterns, such as visual attention and eye movements, relate to individual personality traits. However, these studies mainly focused on free visual tasks, and the impact of visual field restriction remains inadequately understood. The primary objective of this study is to elucidate the patterns of conscious eye movements induced by visual field restriction and to examine how these patterns relate to individual personality traits. Building on previous research, we aim to gain new insights through two behavioral experiments, unraveling the intricate relationship between visual behaviors and individual personality traits. As a result, both Experiment 1 and Experiment 2 revealed differences in eye movements during free observation and visual field restriction. Particularly, simulation results based on the analyzed data showed clear distinctions in eye movements between free observation and visual field restriction conditions. This suggests that eye movements during free observation involve a mixture of conscious and unconscious eye movements. Furthermore, we observed significant correlations between conscious eye movements and personality traits, with more pronounced effects in the visual field restriction condition used in Experiment 2 compared to Experiment 1. These analytical findings provide a novel perspective on human cognitive processes through visual perception.

Mengeksplorasi Praktik Personal Digital Archiving (PDA) dalam Fenomena New Analog Photography di Instagram: Membangun Personal Branding, Pencarian Autentisitas dan Detoksifikasi Digital

This article discusses the phenomenon of the rise of analog photography called new analogphotography on Instagram. Apart from discussing the phenomenon of new analog photography, this article also discusses the practice of personal digital archiving (PDA), which is applied to this phenomenon. Social media is a platform for storing personal digital archives, which has been done by all humans in the internet era and electronic devices have become an integral part of their lives. The method used in writing articles uses a qualitative case study approach. The aim of this article is to find the causes of the new analog photography phenomenon, namely the millennial generation and Gen Z who are very active on social media and have personal branding awareness. The exploration carried out by the millennial generation and Gen Z who have an interest in photography to search for the authenticity of digital presence images and rituals using analog cameras can be categorized as digital detoxification. The limitation of this article is that the number of respondents obtained in quantity is not yet representative. It is hoped that future research will be able to gather more respondents with more varied demographics to be able to map the distribution of this phenomenon. This article explains that photography, which is a form of visual archive, is related to the study of social, cultural and technological topics. So that it provides a new perspective for developing the field of archives, especially special-form archives.

Legal awareness of the individual: a view from the standpoint of cultural, historical and activity methodology

The article is devoted to the theoretical understanding of the phenomenon of legal consciousness of personality from the standpoint of L.S. Vygotsky's cultural and historical theory and A.N. Leontiev's general psychological theory of activity. The regularities of the formation of the legal consciousness of the individual are presented, the psychological properties and functions of the legal consciousness of the individual are described, the hypothesis of the systemic and semantic structure of the phenomenon under consideration is theoretically substantiated. The content of the legal consciousness of the individual is described at the level of "meanings", "personal meaning" and "sensory tissue" of consciousness. The process of formation of the system of legal consciousness of personality is considered through the application of the principle of unity of affect and intelligence, formulated by L.S. Vygotsky, according to which the will of the subject is a single basis and an intermediary link in the formation of consciously controlled processes (the formation of arbitrariness), where in the process of development there is a change in the relationship between affect and intelligence. The theoretical propositions formulated by the authors can form the basis for extensive empirical studies of the legal consciousness of the individual in line with the national psychological tradition, laid down in the cultural-historical approach and the general psychological theory of activity. The regularities of the formation of the legal consciousness of the individual are presented, the psychological properties and functions of the legal consciousness of the individual are described, the hypothesis of the systemic and semantic structure of the phenomenon under consideration is theoretically substantiated. The theoretical propositions formulated by the authors can form the basis for extensive empirical studies of the legal consciousness of the individual in line with the national psychological tradition, laid down in the cultural-historical approach and the general psychological theory of activity. The theoretical analysis of the phenomenon of legal awareness from the standpoint of the national cultural, historical and activity methodology allows us to draw the following conclusions and generalizations. The process of formation and development of legal awareness is a transition from simpler semantic generalizations about law to more complex ones, in the course of general personality development. Thus, the system of meanings of the "language of law" (with different levels of generalizations) determines the content of the components of the structure of legal consciousness, the "development" of these generalizations may indicate the level of development of legal consciousness. A deep study of legal consciousness is impossible in isolation from the categories of "personal meaning", "sensual fabric", as well as those "meanings" in which law finds its objective expression in culture and in a specific person, a subject of law.

Modelling the significance of value-belief-norm framework to predict mass adoption potentials of internet of things-enabled wearable fitness devices

Self-health monitoring technologies have become increasingly popular in averting unanticipated health complications. However, the adoption rate of such technologies in developing countries is surprisingly low. Furthermore, empirical studies on the application of the value-belief-norm (VBN) model to elucidate intention to use IoT-enabled wearable fitness devices (IoT-enabled WFDs) are scarce. This study aimed to expand the VBN model by integrating health values, health consciousness, health knowledge-seeking, and social norms as influencing constructs. The proposed holistic framework was empirically tested to examine these constructs on users' decision-making process of adopting IoT-enabled WFDs. A web-based survey involving 866 adults in China aged 18–30 years was conducted. The gathered data were analysed using partial least squares-structural equation modeling. The results revealed the significant influence of health consciousness and health knowledge-seeking on personal health beliefs, as well as the favourable impact of personal health beliefs on personal norms and awareness of consequences. The results further demonstrated the substantial influence of awareness of consequences and ascription of responsibilities on personal norms. Besides that, personal norms and societal norms were found to have strong influence on the intention to adopt IoT-enabled WFDs, which was revealed to have significant influence on the actual usage. This study's findings offer novel theoretical insights on the behavioural characteristics of adopting IoT-enabled WFDs and serve as a practical guideline for industry experts and marketers to establish appropriate marketing strategies to support the IoT-enabled wearable sector. The findings also benefit policymakers in their efforts of developing strategies that emphasise the unique benefits of self-healthcare monitoring to encourage active lifestyle and decrease obesity and overweight-related health risks.

The Role of Economic Education in the Family on the Consumptive Behavior of University Students

Consumptive behavior is a behavior in humans where people spend their money to fulfill needs that tend to prioritize not only needs but unrestrained wants. This behavior is identical to the tendency in spending too much money with the inability to control purchase of goods and services that are not in priority. Impulsive shopping, lack of financial planning and the tendency to prioritize prestige within their social setting. These behaviors are frequently observable among teenagers or, in this case, university students. They would be avoidable, if students have self-control to follow a rational consumption pattern. Consumptive behavior among university students should be watched carefully because it would have an impact on students’ personal wellbeing, mental health and academic advancements. Overbuying on goods should be controlled through improvement of personal financial awareness, development of prudent financial management habit and learning to differentiate between needs and wants. The family setting, as an informal education to support formal education, has a role in forming students’ mindset. Habit formation, exemplar and explanation from parents are major elements in forming a child’s mindset to behave in an economically rational way. Habits are taught by parents. Financially responsible habits are formed by the parents in their children. Through exemplars, parents provide examples on how to consume through the practices of financial management. Explanations are provided by the parents on the importance of living prudently

Integrating ESG into Corporate Strategy: Unveiling the Moderating Effect of Digital Transformation on Green Innovation through Employee Insights

With climate warming, the human living environment faces significant challenges, and global environmental protection and sustainable development are accelerating. As a result, ESG has become an essential area of research. This study explores the impact of employees’ perceptions of corporate ESG performance on green innovation, focusing on the moderating role of digital transformation. A survey was conducted among 316 employees from the wholesale, retail, IT, and computer services industries to validate this study. Research results show that employees’ cognitions of corporate ESG performance have a positive impact on green innovation. In addition, digital transformation plays a positive moderating role in the impact of the environmental (E) and social (S) dimensions of ESG performance on green innovation. These findings not only highlight the critical role of personal awareness and ESG management concepts in future corporate strategies but also indicate the importance of the extent of digital transformation in companies to improve innovation performance.

Inclusion of legal education in secondary and higher secondary education system in Bangladesh: An appraisal

This abstract offers a succinct overview of a comprehensive analysis of the integration of legal education into Bangladesh’s secondary and higher secondary educational framework. It explores how teaching legal information at a young age can help pupils develop civic engagement, legal literacy, and awareness. Using qualitative approaches to analyze integration potential and difficulties, the study assesses the current condition of legal education in the curriculum. Interviews with students, instructors, legislators, and legal experts provide qualitative data that illuminates how legal education influences students’ moral and intellectual development. The study emphasizes the benefits of including legal education in the secondary and upper secondary curriculum since it fosters ethical reasoning, critical thinking, and a deeper understanding of legal topics. It also identifies obstacles to successful implementation, including problems with curriculum integration and resource limitations. The conclusions emphasize the significance of comprehensive legal education in developing responsible persons capable of navigating legal intricacies and making recommendations for improving Bangladdesh’s educational system through curriculum, teacher training, and legislative changes. These observations underline the critical role that legal education plays in developing socially conscious persons in secondary and higher secondary schools, and they greatly add to the current discourse in Bangladesh regarding education reform.

What determines the batteries recycling behavior of e-bike citizens in Guangzhou?: Integrating place identity and environmental concern into the extended norm activation model

Battery recycling is viewed in China as an important means of achieving primary sustainability goals and greater economic and environmental development. With the notice of high battery recycling intentions through relevant investigations, this study examine the influencing factors of these recycling behaviors of e-bikes citizens by incorporating the place identity and environmental concern into the Extended Normative Activation Model (NAM), which fill the research gap on how place identity and environmental concern affect the batteries recycling behavior. This study proposes that the consequence awareness, personal norms, and attitudes have mediating effect on place identity to the recycling behavior, and the environmental concern has moderating effect on consequence awareness, personal norms, and attitudes to the recycling behavior, respectively. Based on 1068 valid surveys, hypotheses were examined using partial least square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). The results show that personal norms and awareness of consequences positively impact e-bike users' intentions to recycle waste batteries, and environmental concerns have no moderating effect on attitude, recycling intention, personal norms, and recycling intention. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed at last.
