Growing up with juvenile idiopathic arthritis: Social issues

IntroductionJuvenile idiopathic arthritis is a chronic inflammatory condition interfering with daily activities, social integration, and school attendance in children because of pain and joint inflammation during disease flares. Online resources might help children with JIA improve their social interactions and enhance their knowledge about their disease and the available therapeutic strategies. ObjectiveThis study aims to reveal the social issues encountered by teenagers prone to JIA and determine their perception of the impact of social media on their daily life. Material and methodsWe conducted this study using inductive qualitative methods to describe the sociocultural perception and experience of adolescents with JIA aged between 8 and 16 years. ResultsIndividual interviews were held with 22 adolescents diagnosed with JIA. Fifty-two percent felt like outcasts and rejected by their peers because of their illness. Most of the participants expressed a need for their friends to be informed about their JIA diagnosis. Twenty-two-point-seven percent stated that they played sports for more than 5h a week. A total of 31.8% found their physical performance was not affected by their disease. Ninety-seven of the participants confirmed that they use social media on average 3h a day. YouTube and Facebook were ranked respectively as the first and the second preferred platforms. Seventeen percent of the children viewed these platforms as positive and helpful in dealing with JIA, especially by taking their minds off the pain, dealing with the stress resulting from the lack of mobility, and facilitating interactions with others. ConclusionSocial integration in children with JIA is still challenging. Social media is helpful in managing JIA and improving social interactions, and in gaining useful information.

Local History and the Development of Heritage Bonds: A Primary Education Intervention

The Roman Baths of Valduno (Spain) possess significant educational potential, as recognized by visitors in a previous study, even though the facilities have not been maintained properly or have not been given enough publicity , which has resulted in their neglect. Through participation in a school project, a specific intervention is planned, following the ideas of community archaeology, regarding the study and dissemination of the Baths by following the ideas of community archaeology throughout. This study aims to analyse the impact this intervention has on 16 students regarding their knowledge of heritage and the bonds forged and reinforced concerning the site, as well as to identify the difference in historical knowledge acquired after a classroom explanation of the Baths and an open guided tour focused on the interests of the students. A case study was designed following the educational ethnography method, as it facilitates daily attendance as well as close observation of the case in question. The instruments developed (a register for participant observation and a semi-structured interview) reveal that symbolic appropriation of the site occurs as interaction and related knowledge increase. Furthermore, open guided tours facilitate greater significant learning in contrast to a classroom explanation on a heritage site. Educational experiences that embrace experimental, transdisciplinary, and participative methodologies contribute to a holistic understanding of heritage.

Face Recognition Based Attendance System Using Histogram of Oriented Gradients and Linear Support Vector Machine

In the 21st century, modern technology is playing an important role in providing innovative on traditional challenges across various domains or sectors. One such challenging task is of daily attendance marking and tracking. Manual attendance requires efforts and it is time-consuming. Sometimes attendance cannot be mark due to human errors. Relying on voice, iris, or fingerprint recognition, increases the complexity and the hardware infrastructure of the system and also increases the cost. To effectively address such issues, we have developed a “Camera based Attendance System”. This system encompasses several crucial stages, including data entry, dataset of multiple people. It is an image-based face recognition system for marking attendance on the SQL database. It excels in detecting and recognizing multiple individuals faces from image and comparing it with the dataset for accurately marking the attendance. This makes the attendance marking process fully automatic. Remarkably, our proposed system attains an impressive recognition and provides the accuracy of approximately 95%. With this solution, daily attendance marking and recording becomes effortless and the stored attendance record can be also used in future if require, eliminating the risk of attendance not getting marked due to human error.

Workshop Penggunaan Aplikasi Presensi Berbasis Mobile dengan Validasi Radius Lokasi

Employee attendance is data that shows the daily attendance of employees in a company. Data that can be generated from an employee's absence is the time of arrival and departure of employees as proof of attendance at work in the office. There are several problems that arise from this finger print presence equipment. The first problem is the sensitivity of the tool, this presence tool sometimes takes a long time to recognize employee fingerprints, secondly the location of the finger print tool is too far from the employee room. The use of a Mobile-Based Presence application with Location Radius Validation is a solution to the presence problem. To facilitate the use of this presence application, it is necessary to conduct a workshop on the use of the presence application by employeesKeyword : fingerprint, presence, location

Enhancement of Madrasah Ibtidaiyah's Student Management

Student management is necessary for the educational process to be successful. Located on Jalan Ramin Palangka Raya, Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Negeri II Palangka Raya is a popular Islamic secondary school that many families send their kids to. The purpose of the study was to identify and characterize the following aspects: Planning for student management, 2) welcoming new students, 3) student orientation events, 4) student records and reports, 5) student growth and supervision, and a description of how student management is being implemented at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Negeri II Palangka Raya are all included. This study employed a qualitative approach to explain the phenomenon of student management implementation at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Negeri II Palangka Raya. Observation, interviews, documentation studies, and triangulation were the methods used to acquire data; analysis, validity testing, and conclusion drafting came next. Regarding the research's issues, secondary informants provided support for the Headmaster, who served as the primary informant. The study's findings indicate that: 1) Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Negeri II Palangka Raya's student planning began with an examination of the needs of the students, then moved on to student recruitment and selection. 2) A Committee of Penerimaan Peserta Didik Baru (PPDB) oversaw the recruitment and selection of students. A few teachers were chosen by the headmaster to lead the committee. The committee chose new pupils using two criteria: the candidate's record of accomplishment and regular method. 3) The Vice Headmaster of Student Affairs oversaw and controlled the OSIM's student orientation programs. 4) Student records and reports have been created, for example, by keeping track of students' daily attendance lists to learn about their academic progress and provide study support. 5) Student development and supervision were carried out through intra- and extracurricular activities like student athletics, student scouting, and OSIM. To foster the student's interest and talent, all of the activities were carried out under constant observation.

Accelerated transcranial magnetic stimulation for major depressive disorder: A quick path to relief?

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a safe, tolerable, and evidence-based intervention for major depressive disorder (MDD). However, even after decades of research, nearly half of the patients with MDD fail to respond to conventional TMS, with responding slowly and requiring daily attendance at the treatment site for 4-6 weeks. To intensify antidepressant efficacy and shorten treatment duration, accelerated TMS protocols, which involve multiple sessions per day over a few days, have been proposed and evaluated for safety and viability. We reviewed and summarized the current knowledge in accelerated TMS, including stimulation parameters, antidepressant efficacy, anti-suicidal efficacy, safety, and adverse effects. Limitations and suggestions for future directions are also addressed, along with a brief discussion on the application of accelerated TMS during the COVID-19 pandemic. This article is categorized under: Neuroscience > Clinical Neuroscience.

Employee intentions and employer expectations: a mixed-methods systematic review of “post-COVID” intentions to work from home

ABSTRACT The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated cultural and organisational acceptance of remote working. For a portion of the commuting workforce, working from home (WFH) is now possible. Of great interest is whether increased WFH will diminish actual mobility, and thereby reduce the transport task of cities. To understand this possibility, we must know how much WFH will be sustained into the future. Using a bespoke approach combining scholarly and grey literature, this review develops a tangible record of employee desires and intentions to WFH, in the context of the expectations of employers. Its contribution is a novel and rigorous appraisal of recent practices and sentiments. Results confirm that there is a strong underlying demand to WFH. Many studies, however, estimate unrealistically high rates of WFH which cannot be projected onto the wider working population. Further, we find there is a conflict between employee preferences and their expectations to WFH, with estimations of preferences far greater than estimates of expectations. This finding is confirmed by the analysis of employer sentiments. Employers broadly realise that accommodating WFH reflects a best-practice approach, yet favour predictable routines where specific days of on-site attendance are mandated. We conclude with reflections on the impact of our findings on the transport system. We propose that the impact of WFH on commuter decision-making depends on the degree to which employers mandate on-site attendance. Finally, we emphasise the need to acknowledge the wider political, economic and social milieu in which work is performed as shaping future WFH practice.

Optimal Fair-Workload Scheduling: A Case Study at Glorytek

Taichung is the center of the Taiwanese precision optical industry. Optics companies are modernized and automated, with most running 24 h production lines. With machines running around the clock, production lines must be assigned engineers to handle unexpected situations. The optical lens industry depends on precision technology. For fully automated production lines, each production process requires an engineer to be on call to troubleshoot production problems in real-time. However, shifts are currently scheduled manually, and the staff of each unit are responsible for scheduling the various production processes for each month. Administrative staff for each engineering department must take half a day to one day to complete the shift for a month, with results that usually do not ensure the best average workload, often leading engineers to question its fairness. Considering the manpower requirements for the actual production line shift and the fairness of balancing shifts, the scope of this study is the shift scheduling of engineering staff in the assembly line to perform different duties during a fixed cycle. The research aims to provide a solution for Glorytek to increase the efficiency of engineering shift scheduling and optimize the allocation of engineering staff. We will compare the duty allocation and efficiency of the current manual shift scheduling system with a new automated one. The results show that the efficiency of shift scheduling arrangements increased by more than 96%, and the maximum number of days of staff attendance (5 days) is less than that for manual assignment (6 days) while still satisfying the shift limits stipulated by the company. Two factors remain when implementing the proposed system. First, due to technical concerns, the internal process of the scheduling arrangement would be shifted from administrative staff to the IT department. Another concern is the inevitable investment in off-the-shelf optimization software.

Idaho

This article is an update on public school finance in the state of Idaho. The article includes updated information regarding the following topics: funding priorities for P–12, changes to the funding formula for P–12, pressing state issues affecting P–12, and exclusive to P–12, what are the alternatives to traditional public schools offered by your state and what does the trend in funding look like for these alternatives. As of 2022, the state of Idaho maintains the lowest per pupil expenditure (PPE) in the nation, ranking 51st when including the District of Columbia. Idaho’s PPE was $8,376 in 2021, which comes in at 58% of the national average of $14,360. The average Idaho teacher’s salary is $51,817 which ranks 45th in the nation. Idaho also ranks last in K–12 education support staff average earnings at $25,830. However, the state of Idaho interestingly ranks 17th in the area of student achievement. The legislature voted to temporarily change its funding formula to an enrollment-based calculation for the 2021–2022 school year. Governor Little vetoed House Bill 723, which means the funding formula will switch back to an average daily attendance calculation in 2023–2024. The major funding priorities for the state of Idaho related to education are as follows: funding the Career Ladder, full-day kindergarten, teacher compensation, literacy initiative, and the opportunity scholarship. A couple of pressing state issues for Idaho include the teacher shortage and the public school funding formula, which is always a topic of possible revision.

Missouri

This article is a brief summary and update of the public school funding in the state of Missouri for FY2022. The state of Missouri funds education through a foundation model. The largest funding item in the Missouri general budget is K–12 education. In 2018, the state budget fully funded the formula for the first time. The funding formula is multifaceted, including the following four components: weighted average daily attendance, state adequacy target, dollar-value modifier, and local effort. These four items are used to calculate the total state funding for K–12 education. Missouri ranks 32nd in the nation in K–12 student spending when combining local, state, and federal funding sources.

Association Between Daily Physical Education Attendance and Meeting 24-Hour Movement Guidelines in Adolescence and Adulthood

PurposeTo investigate the relationship between participation in physical education lessons (PELs), i.e., minutes or frequency per week, and meeting the 24-hour movement guidelines (i.e., physical activity, screen time, and sleep duration) during adolescence (12–17 years old) and adulthood (33–39 years old). MethodsWe analyzed data from individuals who participated in Waves I (1994–1995) and V (2016–2018) of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health. We determined total weekly minutes of PELs and PELs participation by asking how many days adolescents attended PELs in an average week at school, with three possible responses as follows: 0, 1–4, or 5 days/week. Movement behaviors were assessed through self-completed questionnaires in both waves. ResultsDaily PELs participation during adolescence was related to higher odds of meeting five of more weekly sessions of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity and all three guidelines in both sexes compared with adolescents who reported no days of PELs per week (men: incidence rate ratio [IRR] = 1.70, 95% CI 1.02–3.12; women: IRR = 3.81, 95% CI 1.65–8.77). Additionally, each additional weekly hour of PELs increased the likelihood of meeting all three recommendations (men: IRR = 1.11, 95% CI 1.05–1.35; women: IRR = 1.67, 95% CI 1.27–2.24). During adulthood, daily PELs was also related to a higher likelihood of meeting all three recommendations in both sexes (men: IRR = 1.04, 95% CI 1.01–1.07; women: IRR = 1.07, 95% CI 1.00–1.11). Each additional weekly hour of PELs increased the odds of meeting all three recommendations (men: IRR = 1.02, 95% CI 1.01–1.05; women: IRR = 1.03, 95% CI 1.01–1.06). DiscussionDaily PELs attendance was linked to healthy movement behaviors during adolescence, and these benefits could extend into adulthood.

The Effect of Suspensions on Student Attendance in a High-Absenteeism Urban District

I examine the effect of out-of-school suspensions (OSS) on attendance in a large midwestern urban district with high rates of chronic absenteeism. I do so from an ecological perspective and using daily attendance and discipline data. Out-of-school suspension has a modest and persistent negative effect on subsequent attendance, particularly for students who were not chronically absent and in schools with harsher discipline climates. I find not only that reducing OSS rates can improve attendance but also that addressing in-school factors such as OSS alone will not be sufficient for substantially reducing high-absenteeism rates in the context of broader social and economic inequalities.

Provision of Outdoor Nature-Based Activity for Older People with Cognitive Impairment: A Scoping Review from the ENLIVEN Project

The health and well-being benefits of outdoor nature-based activity are increasingly recognised, but older people with cognitive impairment face significant barriers to access. The ENLIVEN project aims to promote access by gathering evidence and coproducing guidance for activity providers. As part of this project, we conducted a scoping review to characterise the types of outdoor nature-based activity for older people with dementia and other forms of cognitive impairment for which research evidence is available and the range of outcomes is examined. The protocol is available online. We systematically searched relevant databases from 1st January, 2009, to 20th October, 2022, and screened articles against the following criteria: participants were older people aged 65 and above with cognitive impairment arising from dementia or another health condition. The study described the formal provision of outdoor nature-based activity away from the person’s usual place of residence, and at least one outcome of participation in the activity was evaluated. Twenty-eight articles met inclusion criteria, all focused on people with dementia. In most cases, participants were attending day care or living in residential care, and sample sizes ranged from 4 to 136. Activities fell into three groups: green day care (fifteen articles), equine-assisted interventions (seven articles), and community nature-based activities (six articles). Outcome domains explored were connection with nature, activity engagement, impacts on clinical symptoms, functional ability, physical, psychological and social health,, and quality of life. Outdoor nature-based activity can be offered as an opportunity for meaningful occupation to enrich daily life, as a framework for day care provision, or as an intervention to address clinical needs. The evidence base for green day care is relatively established, but the potential for addressing specific clinical needs remains to be explored. The paucity of evidence regarding community provision, especially for those not attending formal care settings, suggests the need for effective knowledge exchange to stimulate initiatives in this area.

Metode Design Thinking Pada Sistem Informasi Presensi Pegawai Kejaksaan Negeri Kota Bogor

Employee presence is an important factor for an agency or company to achieve goals, this is related to discipline and has an impact on the performance of each employee. But in reality, there are still several agencies that still use manual absences that have not been computerized, one of which is the Kejaksaan Negeri Kota Bogor's Office. The system used by the Kejaksaan Negeri Kota Bogor in the attendance process is still manual, namely using a daily attendance book which affects the efficiency and effectiveness of data collection, data search, and calculations and requires a relatively long time. Therefore, it is necessary to have special data collection to record attendance and absence so that work activities can be recorded in real-time and properly, one of which is by using a computerized system with Information Systems. The information system built on a website basis uses the CodeIgniter 3 framework and MySQL. The method used is the Design Thinking Method which has 5 stages. The output of this study is known to be tested with usability testing by user on the Learnability aspect of 75%, then on the efficiency aspect of 100% and the memorable aspect of 66.77%. The average result of the test is quite good at 80.56%. So by making this information system, it can facilitate the process of being on time, searching for data, calculating and summarizing timeliness and minimizing errors when recording presence data.

Bullying and victimization in schools: Causal relationship between adolescent disruptive behavior, sleep schedules, and extended school hours

AbstractVery few studies have identified the relationship between chronotype, sleep habits, and bullying/victimization in school and online contexts. The objective of this work is to identify predictors of frequency of bullying/cyberbullying in Portuguese pubescent and adolescent populations, such as chronotype and sleep aspects, controlling for gender, age, grade, and school attendance hours. One hundred and seventeen Portuguese students from the second and third grades of elementary school were considered, 41 (34.5%) of which were males and 76 (63.9%) were females. The measures used were the Children's Chronotype Questionnaire and the Bullying and Cyberbullying Behaviors Questionnaire: Short Form (BCBQ‐SF). Percentile analyses, multivariate analysis of variance, nonparametric tests, and hierarchical and nonhierarchical linear logistic regression analyses were performed to confirm the prediction models and to identify causal variables moderating the effect of bullying and victimization in adolescents of various ages and school grades, with different school and sleep schedules. Adolescents with more episodes of victimization had higher sleeping problems, especially in terms of sleep duration (late hours of awakening/rest times and falling asleep, especially on days off); the school grade, the average daily school attendance hours, and school entrance time were some predictors found. The model differed in the variable of hours of curricular enrichment activities. The higher the eveningness score, the more aggression was reported.

Ambient temperature and mental health: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Increasing evidence indicates that ambient outdoor temperature could affect mental health, which is especially concerning in the context of climate change. We aimed to comprehensively analyse the current evidence regarding the associations between ambient temperature and mental health outcomes. We did a systematic review and meta-analysis of the evidence regarding associations between ambient outdoor temperature and changes in mental health outcomes. We searched WebOfScience, Embase, PsychINFO, and PubMed for articles published from database origin up to April 7, 2022. Eligible articles were epidemiological, observational studies in humans of all ages, which evaluated real-world responses to ambient outdoor temperature, and had mental health as a documented outcome; studies of manipulated or controlled temperature or those with only physical health outcomes were excluded. All eligible studies were synthesised qualitatively. If three or more studies reported the same or equivalent effect statistics and if they had equivalent exposure, outcome, and metrics, the studies were pooled in a random-effects meta-analysis. The risk of bias for individual studies was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. The quality of evidence across studies was assessed using the Office of Health Assessment and Translation (OHAT) approach. 114 studies were included in the systematic review, of which 19 were suitable for meta-analysis. Three meta-analyses were conducted for suicide outcomes: a 1°C increase in mean monthly temperature was associated with an increase in incidence of 1·5% (95% CI 0·8-2·2, p<0·001; n=1 563 109, seven effects pooled from three studies); a 1°C increase in mean daily temperature was associated with an increase in incidence of 1·7% (0·3-3·0, p=0·014; n=113 523, five effects pooled from five studies); and a 1°C increase in mean monthly temperature was associated with a risk ratio of 1·01 (95% CI 1·00-1·01, p<0·001; n=111 794, six effects pooled from three studies). Three meta-analyses were conducted for hospital attendance or admission for mental illness: heatwaves versus non-heatwave periods were associated with an increase in incidence of 9·7% (95% CI 7·6-11·9, p<0·001; n=362 086, three studies); the risk ratio at the 99th percentile of daily mean temperature compared with the 50th percentile was 1·02 (95% CI 1·01-1·03, p=0·006; n=532 296, three studies); and no significant association was found between a 10°C increase in daily mean temperature and hospital attendance. In a qualitative narrative synthesis, we found that ambient outdoor temperature (including absolute temperatures, temperature variability, and heatwaves) was positively associated with attempted and completed suicides (86 studies), hospital attendance or admission for mental illness (43 studies), and worse outcomes for community mental health and wellbeing (19 studies), but much of the evidence was of low certainty with high heterogeneity. Increased temperature and temperature variability could be associated with increased cases of suicide and suicidal behaviour, hospital attendance or admission for mental illness, and poor community health and wellbeing. Climate change is likely to increase temperature anomalies, variability, and heatwaves as well as average temperatures; as such, health system leaders and policy makers must be adequately prepared and should develop adaptation strategies. More high-quality, standardised research is required to improve our understanding of these effects. None.

Provider experiences with relaxing restrictions on take-home medications for opioid use disorder during the COVID-19 pandemic: A qualitative systematic review.

Historical restrictions on take-home medications for opioid use disorder have generated considerable debate. The COVID-19 pandemic shifted the perceived risks and benefits of daily clinic attendance and led to widespread policy reform, creating an unprecedented opportunity to explore the impact of more flexible prescribing. We conducted a qualitative systematic review to synthesize the evidence on providers' experiences with relaxing restrictions on take-home doses of medications prescribed for opioid use disorder during the COVID-19 pandemic. The protocol for this systematic review was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42022360589; https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/). From Sept.-Nov. 2022, we searched Medline, Embase, CINAHL, PsycInfo, Web of Science, the Cochrane Register of Controlled Trials, and the grey literature from 2020 onward. Studies were eligible for inclusion if they used qualitative methods to investigate providers' experiences with relaxed restrictions on take-home medications for opioid use disorder during the COVID-19 pandemic. We appraised study quality using the CASP qualitative checklist and used thematic synthesis and GRADE-CERQual to synthesize the results. We retrieved 13 articles representing 11 studies. Six were conducted in the United States and most focused on changes to methadone treatment. Providers' experiences with increased flexibilities around take-homes were broadly positive, despite widespread initial concern over client safety and the potential for medication misuse. For a small number of providers, concerns about diversion were a specific manifestation of more general unease with loss of control over clients and the treatment process. Most providers appreciated increased flexibilities and described them as enabling more individualized, person-centered care. Our findings support the continuation of flexibilities around take-homes and demonstrate that regulations and policies that reduce flexibility around take-homes conflict with person-centered approaches to care. Stronger guidance and support from professional regulatory agencies may help increase uptake of flexibilities around take-homes.
