Applying the Developmental Systems Approach to Inclusive Community-Based Early Intervention Programs: Process and Practice.

A developmentally oriented framework is presented designed to establish or enhance the quality of inclusive community-based early intervention systems. This conceptually and empirically integrated developmental approach supports a comprehensive family-centered model. Outlined is a process that coordinates children's goals with family priorities, identifies developmental pathways most likely to influence those goals, guides the selection of objectives and intervention activities, and provides an approach for evaluation and problem solving. Principles of relationships, comprehensiveness, and continuity are central to this framework and address the general problem of "what to implement" in inclusive community-based early childhood programs.

Fully-Online, Interoperable Clinical Trial Management System for Multi-Interventional RCT: Maintain Your Brain Digital Platform.

Maintain Your Brain (MYB)i is a randomised controlled trial (RCT) of multiple online interventions designed to target modifiable risk factors for Alzheimer's disease and dementia. Traditional clinical trial management systems (CTMS) requirements consist of features such as management of the study, site, subject (participant), clinical outcomes, external and internal requests, education, data extraction and reporting, security, and privacy. In addition to fulfilling these traditional requirements, MYB has a specific set of features that needs to be fulfilled. These specific requirements include: (i) support for multiple interventions within a study, (ii) flexible interoperability options with third-party software providers, (iii) study participants being able to engage in online activities via web-based interfaces throughout the trial (from screening to follow-up), (iv) ability to algorithmically personalize trial activities based on the needs of the participant, and (v) the ability to handle large volumes of data over a long period. This paper outlines how the existing CTMSs fall short in meeting these specific requirements. The presented system architecture, development approach and lessons learned in the implementation of the MYB digital platform will inform researchers attempting to implement CTMSs for trials comparable to MYB in the future.

Lessons from the American federal‐state unemployment insurance system for a European unemployment benefits system

AbstractThis article reviews practices in the United States (US) federal‐state unemployment insurance (UI) system regarding applicant eligibility, benefit generosity, benefit financing and emergency measures with the aim of revealing lessons for a possible European unemployment benefit system (EUBS) for European Union (EU) Member States. We overview the US system for UI and examine important areas of federal leadership. While the US system offers some good ideas for setting up an EUBS, there are also lessons in some shortcomings of the US experience. We overview existing national UI systems in the EU and review the debate on an EUBS in the EU. We identify areas of risk for individual and institutional moral hazard in a multi‐tiered UI system and give examples of monitoring methods and incentives to ameliorate such risks. We suggest approaches for gradual system development, encouraging lower‐tier behaviour, benefit financing, and responses to regional and system‐wide labour market crises.

Object Oriented VS Structured Analysis and Design in System Development Courses

Objectives: The main aim of this study was to investigate the factors that influence students’, academicians’, clients’, as well as developer’s preferences in choosing their preferred approach in system development, namely structured analysis design (SAD) or object-oriented analysis and design (OOAD). Methods: The research design was based on a survey methodology and a case study. For the survey, questionnaires were administered to 30 students and 38 academicians, who were randomly selected from several Malaysian universities. For the case study, the requirements of the information system were modeled and presented to several clients to elicit their feedback. The survey data were analyzed using SPSS Findings: The result shows that students preferred the use of OOAD approach, which clearly outnumbered those who preferred the SAD approach, which stood at 33%. Interestingly, the majority (53%) of academicians preferred the use of a mixture of both approaches. Likewise, the clients shared a similar view with the academicians, whereas the developer preferred the OOAD approach. Application/Improvements: Clearly, the findings suggest that both approaches are essential, but the one that is widely used by developers and preferred by students is OOAD, and thus should be given priority when it comes to structured analysis and design. As such, curriculum designers and institutions of higher learning, particularly those offering system analysis and design and related courses, should make the necessary changes to the existing curriculum such that the academic programs offered will be able to produce highly competent and skilled analysts and designers as required by the industry.

New Directions in Talent Development Research: A Developmental Systems Perspective.

Talent development constitutes an important phenomenon of human development; yet it is rarely considered a mainstream topic in the field of child and adolescent development. Conversely, in the field of gifted and talented studies, various talent development (TD) models developed in the past have had minimal interaction with the literature on child and adolescent development, despite the urgent need for TD models and theories that focus on developmental processes rather than individual traits. In this article, I first identify reasons why talent development has been overlooked, and why existing TD models were not able to pick up the slack. I then introduce developmental systems approaches as a new trend in research, and explain how it reinstates the topic of talent development in developmental research, and by so doing enriches our understanding of human development. I then explore the viability of talent development research and theoretical development being guided by the developmental systems framework. Finally, I identify potential contributions of talent development research to the field of child and adolescent development. My overarching argument is that a relational developmental systems approach to talent development provides a new window for the field to explore the nature and development of human potential.

Theoria Cum Praxi – Modeling Specialised Communication

AbstractAs researchers from different nationalities and disciplines collaborate in research projects with joint grants, science becomes more and more global. For conducting the research, project members from several different professional and national backgrounds work together on a daily basis using English as lingua franca (ELF). This results in a very heterogenic linguistic setting, influenced by several mother tongues and languages for specific purposes (LSPs). Systematic approaches have been neglected during the last years while LSP research moved more and more towards applied approaches working on concrete case studies. The present study follows an alternative approach. Applied linguistics and further development of systematic approaches shall here be seen as a circular flow. For instance, communication optimisation during a case study benefits from system-thinking and vice versa. How could the project language of a case study be structured and which long established classifications need to be revised based on these data? Is there a need for a new understanding of applied LSP research?

A user-centric smart product-service system development approach: A case study on medication management for the elderly

With the advancement in Internet implementations, computational intelligence and network technologies, smart product-service system (SPSS) has become an important research area. A lot of research effort has been devoted to construct the conceptual framework, identify the important elements and evaluate the effectiveness of SPSS. However, there is still no SPSS development approach from user-centric perspective. Therefore, this article aims to provide a novel understanding of user-centric SPSS (UC-SPSS), outline the conceptual framework of UC-SPSS and contribute a UC-SPSS development approach. Specifically, a multimodal user analysis module with S-E-T (society-economy-technology) analysis, user behavioral analysis and user segmentation is deployed. According to the user needs identified, a provider identification and integration network is established in the dimensions of material, data and value flows. Jointly considering the user needs and provider capability, the BCE (benefit-cost-expectation) model and Product Function Architecture are applied to assist in the realization of the smart, connected service. To illustrate, a UC-SPSS on medication management for the elderly was developed, and it has been evaluated from user experience and sustainable value aspects. The results showed that the developed medication service is interesting and helpful for the elderly to take their medication. However, the service is not simple enough, especially in data visualization. In terms of sustainable value, the developed service can achieve better performance in economic, material and energy costs, and can support the further regulation of medical industry. Based on the case illustration, the proposed approach appears effective to help with SPSS development.

Designing a Desktop-based Intelligent Information System on National Health Insurance (BPJS):

ABSTRACT The hospital is a referral place for BPJS patients to get health services. The problem after the stipulation of digital claim verification (Vedika) by BPJS on January 1, 2018 is the submission of non-current BPJS claims caused by changes in BPJS claim regulations every year and verification of claims carried out conventionally. The purpose of this study is to develop a smart claim information system for internal verifiers in hospitals. This research is an action research study with the FAST method system development approach. Development of smart claims information system with the FAST method, namely (1) a preliminary study, (2) problem analysis, (3) needs analysis, (4) logical design, (5) decision analysis, (6) physical design and integration, (7) construction and testing, (8) Distribution and Installation. The system implementation is implemented on a Windows-based operating system of at least version 7.0, the server uses OLEDDB connection. The programming language uses Visual Studio 2008 with MySQL version 2.0, while for the database using Access database files (ACCDB). The results of this study are the formation of a claim verification information system for internal desktop-based hospital verifiers with verification codesfication verification features, operation verification codesfication, complete diagnostic support examination requirements with an output in the form of a claim verification report sheet that is ready to be used as a verification tool for completing claims for BPJS files. The use of the smart claims system in claim file verification takes 1-2 minutes for all cases. These results are compared with before the smart claims application takes 1-2 minutes for non-surgery cases and 5-6 minutes for surgery cases. The smart claims application can update the BPJS claim rules change into the smart claims database if there are BPJS claim rules that change every time

Governing Seeds in East Africa in the Face of Climate Change: Assessing Political and Social Outcomes

Climate change is already negatively affecting Sub Saharan African agriculture. One of the most effective ways to adapt on farm is to switch crop varieties. This technological change depends on the policies and institutions involved in governing the seed systems on which farmers rely for access to suitable seeds. Whilst the need for seed systems to adapt and become more resilient is indisputable, the question of how this is best achieved is debated. The dominant seed system development pathway promoted by international development actors is characterised by formalisation and commercialisation of the seed sector. In order to assess political and social outcomes of this development agenda, we compare maize seed system development in Ethiopia, Malawi and Tanzania, combining policy analysis with quantitative analysis of farmers’ seed use. We show that while the development policies promoted by international donors have similar objectives in the three countries, national policies and the seed systems farmers use differ substantially. National policies are shaped by political and historical factors and established in an interplay between state institutions, international donors and private input suppliers. Drawing on a new livelihood dataset, we show that the formalization agenda is most visible in maize seed systems, with 25%, 61% and 58% of the maize farmers planting improved maize varieties in the study sites in Ethiopia, Malawi and Tanzania respectively. The inroads of improved maize, and particularly hybrid maize, in farmers’ seed systems reflects these seeds high profitability for private seed companies. The tenuous use of improved varieties in crops such as sorghum reflects the limitation of the private sector-based seed system development approach in other crops and illustrates the need for public governance. Comparison of households cultivating improved maize with households cultivating local maize reveals that the first group is significantly wealthier and more food secure than the latter. This suggests that better-off households are likely to benefit first from the commercial formalization agenda. We argue that climate-smart seed policies and seed system development strategies must be sensitive to differences between farming systems and different groups of farmers if they are to deliver socially fair outcomes.

A systematic development and validation approach to a novel agent-based modeling of occupant behaviors in commercial buildings

Occupant behaviors are one of the dominant factors that influence building energy use. Traditional building energy modeling programs use typical occupant schedules that often do not reflect actual situations. Robust occupant behavior modeling that seamlessly integrates with building energy models will not only improve simulation performance, but also provide a deeper understanding of occupant behaviors in buildings. This paper presents a development and validation approach to a novel occupant behavior model in commercial buildings. A robust agent-based modeling (ABM) tool, namely Performance Moderator Functions server (PMFserv), is used as the basis of the occupant behavior model. The ABM considers various occupant perceptions and interactions with window, door, and window-blinds based on the environmental conditions. An elaborate agent-based model that represents an office space in an existing building is developed. This is followed by a validation study of the ABM through the use of embedded sensors that capture the indoor ambient conditions and a survey to record actual occupant behaviors. By comparing the recorded behavior data with ABM output, this paper discusses the proposed ABM's prediction ability, limitations, and extensibility. Finally, the paper concludes with the potential of integrating the occupant behavior model with building energy simulation programs.

Spatial units and scales for cultural ecosystem services: a comparison illustrated by cultural heritage and entertainment services in Scotland

The diverse use of spatial units and scales in cultural ecosystem service (CES) assessments hinders the development of systematic approaches and the comparability of CES studies conducted in different environmental contexts. This paper compares three commonly applied spatial units (land cover, raster, landscape units) in CES assessments for their ability to inform us about the spatial context of CES and to provide evidence-based arguments for their application at national and regional scales. Spatially explicit indicators for cultural heritage and entertainment services in Scotland are assessed using the three spatial units. Their influence on the indicator values is compared with respect to spatial distribution and configuration. A Wilcoxon signed-rank test and a linear model evaluate the spatial error created by the calculation between units. For both indicators the spatial units yield similar results at both scales. Land cover and raster units provide more detail in the spatial distribution pattern at regional scale. In the cultural heritage analysis, the identified spatial error shows a slight overestimation by land cover and an underestimation by raster units, which can be linked to extent and shape differences of these units. At national scale, all spatial units show consistent applicability in CES assessments, but land cover and raster units have strengths at regional scale. Considering both findings of this study and arguments from theory, CES assessments would benefit from the use of landscape units, which reflect socio-ecological systems and are, therefore, close to the conceptual background and spatial context of CES.

Development of an Internet-delivered educational video for acute whiplash injuries

ObjectiveTo describe the development of a preventive educational video for patients exposed to whiplash trauma following motor vehicle accidents.MethodsThe development followed a systematic approach and was theory-driven supplemented with available empirical knowledge. The specific content was developed by a multidisciplinary group involving health professionals and visual production specialists.ResultsA 14-min educational video was created. The video content focuses on stimulating adaptive recovery expectations and preventing maladaptive illness beliefs. The video presents a multifactorial model for pain incorporating physiological and cognitive-behavioural aspects, advice on pain relief, and exercises. Subjects interviewed for a qualitative evaluation found the video reassuring and that it aligned well with verbal information received in the hospital.ConclusionsThe development of the visual educational intervention benefitted from a systematic development approach entailing both theoretical and research-based knowledge. The sparse evidence on educational information for acute whiplash trauma posed a challenge for creating content. Further knowledge is required regarding what assists recovery in the early stages of whiplash injuries in order to improve the development of educational interventions.
