Empowerment and Partnership Programs in Healthy Community Movements Through Integrated Development Posts (IDP) of Non-Communicable Disease (NCD)

Optimizing the role of the community in the Healthy Community Movement (HCM) through the facilitation of health cadres at the Integrated Development Post (IDP) of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) to become an effective solution of health promotion program using empowerment and partnerships in the community as a form of active participation in health. The purpose of this community service was to increase community empowerment and partnerships in overcoming NCDs problems through HCM to reduce hypertension in Glagahwero Village, Panti District, Jember Regency. The activities were carried out for 3 months (August - November 2020) in the form of education and health counseling about HCM and hypertension, anti-hypertensive exercise, hypertension diet, empowerment of family cooking in the management of family salt consumption, and IDP of NCDs. The fostered village service activities involved 70 target groups. The results were found that the community was able to do HCM to control blood pressure by doing anti-hypertensive exercises once a week, mothers were able to prepare a low-salt menu in their families, and IDP of NCDs activities were carried out once a month. The further impact was a decrease in mean systolic blood pressure (130.5 ± 22.5 mmHg Vs. 122.3 ± 18.3 mmHg; p = <0.001) and diastolic (81.83 ± 10.4 mmHg Vs. 79.4 ± 9.1 mmHg; p = 0.015), decreased body weight (60.6 ± 12.1 kg Vs. 59.7 ± 12 kg; p <0.001), and decreased abdominal circumference (88.5 ± 14.2 cm Vs 82.7 ± 14.1 cm; p <0.001) after 3 months of community service development. Thus, it can be concluded that the partnership and empowerment of the community in HCM is able to prevent PTM, so it is suggested that IDP of NCDs activities need to be carried out in a sustainable manner in the community.

Model of Assistance for BUMDesa Fisheries Business Groups in Improving Community Econom

The field of community empowerment is one of the Government's efforts to support the community's economy. One of the efforts to mobilize the economic potential in villages that spread across Indonesia, the government supports and encourages the formation of Village Owned Enterprises (BUMDesa). This is like what already exists in the village of Labruk Lor, Lumajang District, Lumajang Regency. However, there are obstacles related to the development of processed products in the fisheries unit at the Bumdesa Labruk Lor. The purpose of this research is to provide knowledge about product processing development activities and provide hands-on training. The method used is in the form of active participation in mentoring activities, lectures and practices. This activity was carried out for 6 months by involving the local government sector and universities. The results show that the Bumdes management understands the benefits that will be obtained from developing processed products from the fisheries unit, besides that it is hoped that this activity will also have an impact on increasing income for Bumdes.

You, me, and OHP: Applying the Sociocultural Self Model to OHP Interventions

Many OHP interventions depend on some form of active participation from an employee and trends of low participation in interventions could jeopardize validity and impact. Intervention involvement can vary based on demographic, job-related, and health-related factors, with some research finding that those who would benefit the most from an intervention may be the least likely to participate. To examine factors that may influence attitudes toward and intentions to participate in OHP interventions, I apply the Sociocultural Self Model, or a framework that suggests that individual characteristics, structural conditions, and sociocultural context will influence an employee’s sense of self and thoughts, feelings, and behaviors relevant to health. Based on cross-sectional data from 315 employed adults recruited using a Qualtrics Panel, the Sociocultural Self Model generally conformed to model predictions. Individual characteristics, some structural conditions, and some sociocultural contexts were significantly related to attitudes towards and intentions to participate in OHP interventions. Results also suggest the presence of some industry-related differences in model components. Together, these results provide a preliminary look into the utility of a model that integrates individual and environmental determinants of health and safety to inform OHP interventions.

Creativity in retirement: psychosocial experiences of recently retired people participating in a creative arts project.

A growing body of research literature features the provision of arts experiences for the older person but less attention has been given to those who are in the early years of retirement. This qualitative study aims to contribute to the existing field through exploring the contribution that creativity, in the form of active participation in the arts, can make upon the older person's transition to retirement. A total of 15 recently retired people in a Scottish town were invited to participate in a qualitative project which explored, using the creative arts, the participants' psychological and social experiences during this period of transition. The emphasis was on participants' active, rather than passive, involvement in different art modalities. An action research methodology was adopted, involving a circular flexible design. Qualitative information was generated through focus groups, participant observations and group discussions with participants attending arts workshops. Participants were also invited to record their thoughts and observations anonymously in written form. Data were analysed using thematic analysis. Two co-researchers, who were recently retired people from outside the community, took part as participant observers. Key findings indicated that the need to feel challenged and stimulated was paramount for feelings of wellbeing. The feeling of belonging to a community was considered important and could be derived from creative arts activities. Psychological and social benefits of arts participation were derived from active participation, primarily in creating original work. Participants had disparate experience of arts but were united in their search for creative fulfilment. Implications for appropriate provision were considered.

Community Empowering through Tubers Crop Cultivation with its Compost Applications And Its Processing Technology

Tuber crops (cassava and sweet potato) are potential sources of food that are widely used by the community. The demand for large quantities of potatoes increases every year.

The Connection between Extracurricular, Leisure Time Activities, Religiosity and the Reasons for Drop-out

The interruption of tertiary education and the reduction in the dropout rate have been a central issue in educational sociology and education research. Exploring the possible reasons for dropping out can significantly contribute to reducing the trend. Our aim is to map the links between students dropping out and individual factors. Consequently, we investigate the connection between extracurricular and leisure-time activities, health behaviour and religiosity in relation to dropout. This is explained by the fact that one of the axioms of the literature on dropout is that belonging to civil networks usually strengthens the commitment to the successful completion of studies. In our analysis, we used the database created during the research carried out in 2018 by the Center for Higher Education Research and Development (CHERD-H) in the framework of project No. 123847 of the National Research, Development and Innovation Fund of Hungary, entitled The Role of Social and Organisational Factors in Student Dropout (DEPART 2018, N=605). Our results show that the neglect of study obligations among those who are disappointed in the course and further education is closely related to the shift in value preferences and an increase in the time spent with entertainment activities and partying. It can also be stated that students take part indifferent types of extracurricular activities only to a limited extent, and the different forms of participation in activities and religiosity are not related to the causes of dropout.

School Stakeholder’s Support on the Use of Youth Information and Counseling Centers (PIK-R)

School stakeholder’s support greatly affects PIK-R utilization by students. The problem is that school stakeholders are often only responsible but do not play an active role in PIK-R implementation. The purpose of this study was to analyze the support of school stakeholders on the utilization of PIK-R Wijaya Kusuma SMAN 1 Srandakan. This research used qualitative research with case study approach. Key informants were principals, teachers PIK-R coach, guidance and counseling teachers, and peer counselors as triangulan. The data were collected through in-depth interviews. The results showed that the support of school stakeholders on the utilization of PIK-R wijaya kusuma was satisfactory. The support provided were in the form of active participation and involvement such as school counseling for students who experience problems, support in funding PIK-R activities, and cooperation efforts with other agencies. Some teachers were involved in health information socialization activities. Capacity building and skills related to adolescent health were also required by all teachers, so that all parties had the same understanding of PIK-R and gave full support to the utilization of PIK-R Wijaya Kusuma.

The participatory public library: the Nordic experience

Purpose From collection to connection has been a buzzword in the library world for more than a decade. This catchy phrase indicates that users are seen not only as borrowers, but as active participants. The aim of this paper is to investigate and analyse three questions in relation to user participation in public libraries in a Nordic perspective. How can participation in public libraries be characterised? Why should libraries deal with user participation? What kinds of different user participation can be identified in public libraries? Design/methodology/approach The paper uses a selection of theoretical approaches and practical examples to obtain a varied understanding of user participation in public libraries. Research fields outside library and information science have developed a wide range of theoretical approaches on user participation. Examples from cultural policy, museum studies and participatory culture are selected to get a deeper understanding on participation in public libraries. The practical examples are chosen to illustrate the richness of different kinds of user participation in libraries. Findings There are six forms of active participation in libraries: volunteer programmes, interactive displays, workshops, co-creation, user-driven innovation and book clubs. Originality/value This paper is an overall synthesis of theoretical and practical aspects of user participation in public libraries. Furthermore, the paper challenges the deeply rooted assumption that participation in libraries takes place almost exclusively within digital contexts.

Indigenous cultural contexts for STEM experiences: snow snakes’ impact on students and the community

Opportunities for American Indian youth to meaningfully engage in school-based science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) experiences have historically been inadequate. As a consequence, American Indian students perform lower on standardized assessments of science education than their peers. In this article we describe the emergence of meaning for students—as well as their community—resulting from Indigenous culturally-based STEM curriculum that used an American Indian tradition as a focal context. Specifically, the game of snow snakes (Gooneginebig in Ojibwe) afforded an opportunity for STEM and culturally-based resources to work in unison. A case study research design was used with the bounded case represented by the community associated with the snow snake project. The research question guiding this study was: What forms of culturally relevant meaning do students and the community form as a result of the snow snake game? Results indicate evidence of increased student and community engagement through culturally-based STEM experiences in the form of active participation and the rejuvenation of a traditional game. Implications are discussed for using culturally-based contexts for STEM learning.

The location choice of graduate entrepreneurs in the United Kingdom

Abstract The graduates’ startup formation process represents a possible future role for universities in the form of active-participation, when speaking of the regional development. Tracking the path of entrepreneurial graduates who are moving between home, university, and employment, allows us to identify the specific motives that determine their migration decisions. The choice of location of graduate entrepreneurs is naturally affected by the context of their home region, as the availability of resources leads to a rising entrepreneurial intention. Similarly, the location of the startups flourish in densely populated urban regions, as well as in wealthier locations. At the same time, the vibrancy of the local entrepreneurial ecosystems is enhanced through mutual exchange and collaboration; and the higher the number of startups already present in a region, the higher the probability becomes for interaction and creativity. A leading tendency, not least to be mentioned, is that the preference to start new businesses is connected to highly-skilled creative sectors of the economy.

Integration or co-optation? Traditional knowledge and science in the Alaska Beluga Whale Committee

Traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) has become a focus of increasing attention by natural resource managers over the past decade, particularly in the context of the shared management authority between resource users and government agencies (co-management). Little work has been done on how TEK can be successfully integrated with science and applied in contemporary science-based resource management institutions, and the efficacy and legitimacy of co-management and associated attempts to document TEK or integrate it with science have recently been questioned. The cooperative research programme of one co-management group, the Alaska Beluga Whale Committee (ABWC), was studied to describe how TEK and science are integrated and applied in the research process, document perceptions and attitudes of native hunters and scientists towards TEK and science, and identify organizational characteristics that facilitate knowledge integration. Hunters and TEK played a variety of roles in ABWC's research programme, including hypothesis generation, sample collection and data interpretation. Hunters and scientists defined TEK similarly, but differed in their views of science, which hunters often perceived as a tool of state control. Despite political undercurrents, the ABWC displayed several indicators of successful knowledge integration. Organizational characteristics that facilitated integration included a membership structure fostering genuine power-sharing and a range of opportunities for formal and informal interactions among hunters and scientists leading to long-term relationships and an organizational culture of open communication and transparency in decision-making. Given the importance of long-term relationships between scientists and hunters for successful knowledge integration, this study raises questions about (1) the potential for meaningful integration in short-term projects such as environmental impact assessment and (2) the use of TEK documentation studies in the absence of other forms of active participation by TEK- holders.

The clinical context and patient participation in post-diagnostic consultations

Objective Although patient participation is an important feature of patient-centered health care, few studies have examined how the clinical context affects patient involvement in medical encounters. This investigation examined the way patients communicate with physicians in two diverse post-diagnostic settings, post-angiogram consultations and initial lung cancer visits. Methods From transcripts and audiorecordings of post-angiogram consultations ( n = 88) and initial lung cancer visits ( n = 62) within a VA hospital in the United States, three measures of patient participation were coded—number of active participation behaviors (questions, acts of assertiveness, and expressions of concern), proportion of patients’ utterances in the form of active participation, and conversational involvement (ratio of patient utterances to physician plus patient utterances). Mixed linear regression procedures assessed the independent effects of the clinical setting, physicians’ facilitative communication (partnership-building and supportive talk), and patients’ age, education, and ethnicity on patient participation. Results Not only was their less talk in the post-angiogram consultations compared with the lung cancer visits, heart patients also were less conversationally involved (accounted for 25% of the talk) than were lung cancer patients (45% of the talk) and their doctors used proportionally less facilitative talk than did the lung cancer physicians. In both settings, patients were more conversationally engaged when proportionally more of the physicians’ talk was facilitative. Conclusions The clinical context has a profound effect on patient participation. However, within individual settings, physicians can increase patient involvement by using partnering and supportive communication. Practice implications Clinicians and administrators should assess clinical practices that restrict patient involvement in ways that could affect quality of decision-making.

Trapping of Molecular Hydrogen in Porous Silicon and at Si/SiO2 Interfaces and a Possible Reinterpretation of the Pb Center

AbstractMany recent studies of the highlighted problem of visible-range photoluminescence of porous silicon (po-Si) indicate the presence of hydrogen in this material. However, its actual role is not clear with the discussed possibilities ranging from passivation of the surface defects to some form of active participation in the photoluminescence (PL) mechanism itself. At the same time, in several magnetic resonance studies of po-Si the so-called Pb center, originally identified with the <111>-directed silicon broken bond stabilized at Si/SiO2 interfaces, has been reported.Very recently the paramagnetic state of molecular hydrogen in bulk silicon has been identified. The spin-Hamiltonian parameters of the related Si-NL52 EPR spectrum appear to be identical to those of the Pb center. This observation casts severe doubts on the original interpretation of the Pb center while, on the other hand, offering new evidence of a prominent presence of hydrogen molecules both in po-Si and at the Si/SiO2 interface. In this paper the similarities of Si-NL52 and Pb centers are examined in detail, and it is argued that the centers are the same. It is concluded that many features of the Pb center which could not be explained within the broken-bond model can be understood with the interstitial hydrogen molecule model.

Parents: Obstacles or Allies in Child Hypnotherapy?

Abstract Since the major obstacle to successful child hypnotherapy is related more often to the parents than to the children themselves, specific techniques are described for helping parents accept the idea of hypnosis and use various forms of active participation with the goal of becoming a therapeutic ally.
