Creating Lasting Conditions for Meaningful Recess Reform: A 5-School Exploration.

When well implemented, recess is a critical part of the school day for children's healthy development. We explored the implementation of a recess improvement process in 5 elementary schools across 3 states. We conducted a mixed-methods implementation study in which we visited each school 3 times over 1 school year, collecting observational, interview, survey, and focus group data. Qualitative data were coded thematically and analyzed across schools. Quantitative data were tabulated and aggregated over time and across schools. We observed improvements in aspects of recess quality at each school, with three schools demonstrating the most progress. Quantitative data showed null effects in aggregate; however one school demonstrated significant improvements. Four criteria contributed to the quality and sustainability of recess reform: staff engagement, integration with other programs, student leadership, and recess communications. Program implementation research often refers to "buy-in" as a key ingredient to successful adoption. We provide a tool that helps to operationalize buy-in in the recess context. Changing the recess environment requires individual and institutional commitment to valuing recess as an important learning environment. School administrators must lead the change process and create institutional infrastructure to support success.

Long-acting injectable ART to advance health equity: a descriptive analysis of US clinic perspectives on barriers, needed support and programme goals for implementation from applications to the ALAI UP Project.

Approval of the first long-acting injectable antiretroviral therapy (LAI ART) medication heralded a new era of HIV treatment. However, the years since approval have been marked by implementation challenges. The "Accelerating Implementation of Multilevel Strategies to Advance Long-Acting Injectable for Underserved Populations (ALAI UP Project)" aims to accelerate the systematic and equitable delivery of LAI ART. We coded and analysed implementation barriers according to the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) domains, desired resources and programme goals from questionnaire short-answer responses by clinics across the United States responding to ALAI UP's solicitation to participate in the project between November 2022 and January 2023. Thirty-eight clinics responded to ALAI UP's solicitation. The characteristics of LAI ART as an innovation (cost, complexity of procurement, dosing interval, limited eligibility) precipitated and interacted with barriers in other CFIR domains. Barriers included obtaining coverage for the cost of medication (27/38 clinics) (outer setting); need for new workflows and staffing (12/38) and/or systems to support injection scheduling/coordination (16/38), transportation and expanded clinic hours (13/38) (inner setting); and patient (10/38) and provider (7/38) education (individuals). To support implementation, applicants sought: technical assistance to develop protocols and workflows (18/38), specifically strategies to address payor challenges (8/38); additional staff for care coordination and benefits navigation (17/38); opportunities to share experiences with other implementing clinics (12/38); patient-facing materials to educate and increase demand (7/38); and support engaging communities (6/38). Clinics' LAI ART programme goals varied. Most prioritized delivering LAI ART to their most marginalized patients struggling to achieve viral suppression on oral therapy, despite awareness that current US Food and Drug Administration approval is only for virally suppressed patients. The goal for LAI ART reach after 1 year of implementation ranged from ≤10% of patients with HIV on LAI ART (17/38) to ≥50% of patients (2/38). Diverse clinic types are interested in offering LAI ART and most aspire to use LAI ART to support their most vulnerable patients sustain viral suppression. Dedicated resources centred on equity and relevant to context and population are needed to support implementation. Otherwise, the introduction of LAI ART risks exacerbating, not ameliorating, health disparities.

ADDRESSING CHALLENGES IN SUPERVISING STUDENT RESEARCH

In Ukraine, student involvement in scientific research primarily occurs through participation in student scientific groups or societies. However, many teachers face challenges when supervising student research projects. This study aims at identifying challenges in supervising student scientific research in higher education, drawing on experiences of both foreign and domestic university faculties. Literature from PubMed and Google Scholar databases was reviewed, focusing on articles related to the topic. Researchers suggest early engagement of students in scientific research within laboratories and participation in inquiry-based programs such as "discovery-based," "project-based," and "inquiry-based," mirroring real-world scientific practices. These approaches offer valuable insights into science, providing structured support and laboratory experience for students. However, challenges such as material and technical limitations and teachers' lack of motivation to dedicate sufficient time to students hinder the widespread implementation of research programs in universities. To foster successful student scientific research, students must be motivated to take ownership of their work, and department laboratories require adequate material and technical support to facilitate student research groups. Additionally, scientific mentors should receive adequate pedagogical training to effectively guide research groups. Mentor efforts should focus on encouraging student participation in research activities by enhancing their awareness and creating opportunities for engagement.

Penanganan Sampah Plastik Di Desa Medan Krio Menjadi Barang Berguna Siap Pakai Kab.Deli Serdang

One non-organic waste that is used extensively in daily life is plastic, particularly for food packaging vendors and as a raw material for toy manufacturers. Waste will result from the vast amount of plastic that residents of Medan Krio use and discard after consumption. The goal of the research program's implementation is to enable locals to recycle waste materials to create valuable products. The village of Medan Krio Village has a high population density, which has led to the development of waste management issues. The village has traditionally disposed of waste by burning it and throwing it beside the street, which is why there is a garbage stench. which has a strong odor as a result of careless trash dumping. In light of this issue, Ecobricks may offer a way to lessen plastic waste and turn it into products with a positive economic impact. Method: PAR (Participatory Action Research), which is study that identifies issues and then offers potential solutions. Findings: The Ecobrick technique is being used in Medan Krio Village to make use of plastic waste. A recycling technique known as "ecobricks" uses plastic bottles that have been packed full of non-organic materials until they are extremely hard and dense.

Basic human values of dairy producers in Canada and the U.S.: A cross-sectional survey study

Farmer decisions on management practices have a broad impact across economic, environmental, and public health issues, and have been associated with farmers' basic human values (e.g., tradition, stimulation, and security). This knowledge can be useful to inform the implementation of research programs and voluntary policies. A cross-sectional study was designed to characterize 10 Schwartz's basic human values (conformity, tradition, benevolence, universalism, self-direction, stimulation, hedonism, achievement, power, and security) in Canadian and U.S. dairy producers using a 20-item Portrait Value Questionnaire (PVQ) survey. Canadian dairy producers in Ontario (n = 3367) and Atlantic Canada (New Brunswick, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island; n = 557), and U.S. dairy producers (n = 1000) in five Eastern states (Florida, Michigan, Ohio, Vermont, and Wisconsin) were invited to participate. Producers were asked to rank their relatability to 20 items (each basic human value evaluated by two items) using a 6-point scale (1–6) and the score of each human value was the mean rank of the two items corresponding to the basic human value. Cluster analysis was performed to identify distinct groups of Canadian and U.S. producers that shared basic human value patterns. Country-wise and cluster-wise comparisons in basic human value scores and producers' demographics were performed. Overall, 289 surveys were returned with useable responses from Canadian producers (7.4% response rate) by July 2021 while 315 useable responses (33.1% response rate) from U.S. producers by May 2021. Canadian producers had more desire (P < 0.05) to enjoy life (hedonism), for success (achievement), and to dominance (power), whereas U.S. producers were more (P < 0.05) compliant (conformity), traditional (tradition), helpful (benevolence), egalitarian (universalism), and were more likely to appreciate social security and stability (security). In addition, U.S. producers who milked more cows daily were more open to changes (less conservative) with more desire for success and leadership than those milked less (positive correlation between the number of cows milked daily and the value scores). Compared to data from the general population based on the Wave 5 (2005–2009) and Wave 6 (2010–2014) World Value Surveys, dairy producers in Canada and the U.S. were more open to changes with more desire for power. Although a cluster of more open producers was identified in both countries (n = 71 in Canada; n = 86 in the U.S.), they could not be differentiated from other producers by demographic characteristics. Through this study, we showed differences in 10 basic human values between Canadian and U.S. dairy producers, which were distinct from the general population of the respective country. For U.S. producers, farm size was positively associated with openness and desire for more authority, qualities that may indicate more willingness to adopt new dairy farm practices or adhere to agricultural regulations. Thus, the influence of 10 basic human values by dairy producers should be considered to inform the design or implementation of best practices, future policies, and research programs.

Patient engagement in health implementation research: A logic model.

Growing evidence supports patient engagement (PE) in health implementation research to improve the quality, relevanceand uptake of research. However, more guidance is needed to plan and operationalize PE before and throughout the research process. The aim of the study was to develop a logic model illustrating the causal links between context, resources, activities, outcomesand impact of PE in an implementation research programme. The Patient Engagement in Health Implementation Research Logic Model (hereafter the Logic Model) was developed using a descriptive qualitative design with a participatory approach, in the context of the PriCARE programme. This programme aims to implement and evaluate case management for individuals who frequently use healthcare services in primary care clinics across five Canadian provinces. Participant observation of team meetings was performed by all team members involved in the programme and in-depth interviews were conducted by two external research assistants with team members (n = 22). A deductive thematic analysis using components of logic models as coding categories was conducted. Data were pooled in the first version of the Logic Model, which was refined in research team meetings with patient partners. The final version was validated by all team members. The Logic Model highlights the importance of integrating PE into the project before its commencement, with appropriate support in terms of funding and time allocation. The governance structure and leadership of both principal investigators and patient partners have significant effects on PE activities and outcomes. As an empirical and standardized illustration that facilitates a shared understanding, the Logic Model provides guidance for maximizing the impact of patient partnership in various contexts for research, patients, providersand health care. The Logic Model will help academic researchers, decision makersand patient partners plan, operationalize, and assess PE in implementation research for optimal outcomes. Patient partners from the PriCARE research programme contributed to developing the research objectives and designing, developing and validating data collection tools, producing data, developing and validating the Logic Modeland reviewing the manuscript.

ОСОБЕННОСТИ ГАЗОГЕОХИМИЧЕСКИХ ПОЛЕЙ МЕТАНА В РАЙОНЕ ЗАЛИВА ПЕТРА ВЕЛИКОГО (ЯПОНСКОЕ МОРЕ)

The paper presents the comparison results of detailed gas-geochemical surveys carried out in the Alekseev Bight (Peter the Great Bay, Sea of Japan) in 1989 and 2022 aimed at studying the distribution of methane and carbon dioxide in waters of the Alekseev Bight. CTD sounding was performed to measure temperature and salinity using an YSI CastAway CTD probe. Based on the available geological information and prior research, the main patterns were identified in the distribution of gas geochemical fields in the Alekseev Bight (Peter the Great Bay). The results obtained are in demand both in theoretical studies of gas geochemical field distribution on the earth’s surface in connection with seismotectonic and geological features of the region, and in the practice of development of methods and technologies for measuring balance between major greenhouse gas emissions and uptake. The results are also important for the implementation of research programs within the «climate agenda».

IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF WUDHU IN AL-HIDAYAH TPA THROUGH MENTORING ACTIVITIES

Islam is very concerned about cleanliness/holiness and views it as important as an inseparable part of a series of worship. In the implementation of worship, there is a need for cleanliness/holiness itself. This means that true worship is worship performed by people who have maintained cleanliness and purified themselves. There are still many researchers who see children or people performing ablution carelessly or imperfectly. This time the researcher took the theme of learning the practice of ablution which aims to make the children of TPA Al-Hidayah able to carry out their obligations properly and correctly, so that what we teach them can be useful for the life of the community or the life to come. The research method used is the PAR (Participation Action Research) method, covering learning activities, mentoring, planning, research, development to the implementation of research programs involving the wider community or specific target groups. As for the results of this service program research, children can distinguish between rubbing and washing in ablution.

Internal Quality Assurance of the Education Program at Higher Educational Institutions

Ongoing efforts on internal quality assurance of the educational program at higher educational institutions should be based on comprehensiveness and constant innovative activity. The development of modern and effective ways and measures in order to ensure the quality of educational programs is relevant both for modern higher educational institutions in practice and in the theoretical and methodological plane. The purpose of the research lies in establishing the principles of ensuring the quality of the educational program, which should be applied to achieve high quality teaching following the educational program of higher educational institutions in Ukraine; determining the shortcomings and prospects for the development of educational programs (curricula) and their assessment by educators. In the course of the research, an interpretive qualitative study has been used; along with this, the experiment as the main method, the methods of description, questionnaire and observation have been also used in the academic paper. The research hypothesis lies in the fact that ensuring the quality of the educational program is based on a balanced complex of innovative theoretical principles and their practical implementation. The result of the research is the establishment of the fundamentals for ensuring the quality of educational programs of higher educational institutions, taking into account their innovative nature and the evaluation of the strengths and weaknesses of the curriculum by the participants of the educational process. In the prospect, the implementation of research programs for the further development and improvement of the quality and demand of educational programs of the HEI at the level of the world market of educational services is expected.

An implementation research programme to support an intravenous iron intervention for pregnant women with moderate and severe anaemia in Malawi: study protocol

BackgroundAntenatal iron supplementation is critical to maternal and child health; however, access and adherence to oral iron are inconsistent in many low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Modern intravenous (IV) iron products have become available in high-income clinical settings and provide an opportunity to deliver high doses of iron in a single-short infusion during pregnancy. However, there is limited knowledge of the drivers and barriers for such an intervention to be effectively delivered and upscaled in LMICs. In this study protocol, we describe the implementation research programme to support an IV iron intervention in Malawi for pregnant women with moderate and severe anaemia.MethodsThe implementation research programme has three phases, each guided by implementation science conceptual frameworks. In Phase 1, we will conduct formative research (context assessment of the health system with key informant interviews) to determine how IV iron can be effectively introduced into routine antenatal care. We will use the findings to co-develop potential strategies with end-users and healthcare providers to improve intervention implementation. In Phase 2, we will disseminate the implementation strategies to support the uptake and delivery of the intervention in the study settings. In Phase 3, the intervention will be implemented, and we will conduct formative evaluation (interviews with end-users, healthcare providers, and analysis of health services data) to investigate the feasibility and acceptability of the intervention and strategies. We will also identify processes and contextual factors that facilitate or impede the delivery and uptake of IV iron.DiscussionIn LMICs, modern IV iron products present a novel opportunity to rapidly cure moderate and severe anaemia in pregnancy, thereby improving maternal and child health outcomes. This implementation research programme will provide guidance and recommendations on how best an IV iron intervention for pregnant women with anaemia can be implemented in an LMIC setting like Malawi. We will develop locally relevant and culturally appropriate implementation strategies by engaging with key stakeholders (pregnant women, healthcare providers, and policymakers) and identifying factors likely to facilitate successful implementation. The findings of this research can guide the implementation of an IV iron intervention in Malawi and other LMICs.

Analysis of the Relations of the Stuff of the Psychological Institute (1913-1937)

The subject of the study was the subjects' connections reflecting the degree of similarity of the research topics of the founder (G.I. Chelpanov), subsequent leaders (K.N. Kornilov, A.B. Zalkind, V.N. Kolbanovsky), and leading employees of the Psychological Institute in 1913-1937. In the context of solving the problem of collective forms of development of domestic psychology, a slang analysis of the titles of their published psychological works was carried out. In order to take into account the semantic meanings, the quantitative analysis of the titles is supplemented by the results of a qualitative analysis of the subject and type of publications, the availability of reprints and biographical data of their authors, as well as the results of an event analysis of the social history of the development of Russian psychology in the first half of the twentieth century. The results obtained testify to the strength of the subject connections of the institute leaders and specific leading employees who supported them in the implementation of research programs and in the development of topical problems of psychological theory and practice; which determined the effectiveness of their joint scientific activities in the 1920s-1930s. The main topic that united scientists was general psychology, to a lesser extent pedagogical psychology. Due to the presence of subject connections, the Institute's staff made a significant collective contribution to the definition of the theoretical and methodological foundations of the study of the psychology of behavior, consciousness and such mental processes as sensations, perception, memory, thinking, and speech; into the development of methods of psychological research: experimental, biographical, observation methods, testing, etc. The solution of the problems of pedagogical psychology, as well as other practice-oriented areas of psychology – developmental, social, special, labor psychology, etc., by the staff of the Institute was based on the tradition of organizing experimental research, laid down when the institute was founded by G.I. Chelpanov and determined the content of the subject relations of its leading scientists in the following decades.

Manajemen Program Riset Studi Kasus di MAN 2 Kudus

Based on the Decree of the Director General of Islamic Education Number 6757 of 2020 concerning the designation of madrasas as research providers, it can be analyzed that the number of madrasas designated as research madrasas is still very small compared to the number of madrasas as a whole. This study aims to describe the management of research programs at MAN 2 Kudus from the aspects of planning, organizing, implementing and evaluating. The research method used is a qualitative research method. Data was collected by means of in-depth interviews, observation and documentation. Respondents who were used as data sources were the head of the madrasa and the research mentor teacher. The results showed that the management stage of the research program includes planning, organizing, implementing and evaluating. The planning stage includes the formulation of objectives for conducting research programs and preparing human resources. The next stage is organizing which includes the formation of a research team, grouping research fields and designing a research-based curriculum. The implementation phase consists of Yourt Camp activities, Persian, teacher competency improvement, schedule preparation and mentoring process. The final stage is an evaluation carried out between the research team, the head of the madrasa and the deputy head of the madrasa to analyze the achievements of the management of the research program at MAN 2 Kudus. This research can be specified again related to research program learning techniques so that the implementation of research programs is more superior and quality so that it can increase the competitiveness of madrasa.

Mobile Brain/Body Imaging: Challenges and opportunities for the implementation of research programs based on the 4E perspective to cognition

Cognitive dynamics are multimodal, and they need to integrate real-time feedback to be adaptive and appropriate. However, cognition research still relies on mostly unimodal paradigms using simple motor tasks in laboratory-based static situations. This paper addresses this limitation by presenting the Mobile Brain/Body Imaging approach based on the Embodied, Embedded, Extended, and Enactive perspective, which complements traditional laboratory work while also facilitating ecologically valid applications. First, we briefly review Mobile Brain/Body Imaging technologies used to obtain functional and structural images of the Brain/Body System during natural cognition. Specifically: mobile cognitive electrophysiology, mobile functional neurovascular dynamics, and mobile behavioral measurements. Second, we review the development of Mobile Brain/Body Imaging/4E in Chile. Finally, we discuss challenges and opportunities. We conclude that although this new epistemic/methodological approach is promising, there is a need for greater portability, robust equipment, and data-analysis tools that can integrate signals from the brain/body-in-the-world system. Future experimental designs need to re-consider their underlying logic and increase their ecological validity by-perhaps-modifying the physical spaces in which experiments are conducted.

Wood characterization of Tectona grandis L. F. cultivated in Brazil: a review of the last 30 years

Worldwide, Tectona grandis (teak) is recognized for its productivity and the quality of its wood. The Brazilian market is already seen as a great potential for consumption and production of teak wood. Therefore, the objective of this work was to characterize the teak wood grown in Brazil through a bibliographic survey of the results already available. In general, it was found that the teak wood planted in Brazil has a certain variability in its technological properties, and these variations are due to the origin, genetic material, age, planting location and the cycle used in the management of the forest. In a way, we still do not have much research on the quality of teak wood, and it would be important to implement research programs and experiments that consider the different genetic materials, growing environments, planting spacing, silvicultural tracts and ages of cutting, to allow greater knowledge about the growth and the factors that can influence the quality of the wood to be produced.

Research training program in a Turkish medical school: challenges, barriers and opportunities from the perspectives of the students and faculty members

BackgroundProviding medical students with opportunities for research experience is challenging for medical schools in developing countries. The Research Training Program (RTP), which is carried out in Ege University Faculty of Medicine (EUFM) parallel to the core curriculum, aims to improve the scientific competencies of the highly motivated students and to provide them with the opportunity to conduct a research. The purpose of this project is to evaluate RTP through the perspectives of students and faculty members.MethodsThis phenomenological study included two groups; students of RTP and faculty members who contributed to the program. Interviews were conducted with the research group whose selection was determined by maximum variation technique. Interviews with new individuals continued until data saturation was reached. Interpretative data analysis started with close reading of the transcripts and generating a list of codes. Coding by two independently, developing categories and themes were the following steps.ResultsTwenty-one RTP students and 14 faculty members were interviewed. The main motivation for students to participate was the desire to learn how to do research. The introduction course providing the students with the basic competencies needs to be improved in terms of practical activities. It was reported that during the project process students needed intensive guidance especially in finding a research topic and a mentor. The students’ lack of time, deficit of enough mentoring and the fact that conducting a research does not provide a competitive advantage for residency are important obstacles to the completion of the program. The most frequently mentioned achievement of the students is to learn all the stages of the research as well as getting acquainted with critical thinking.ConclusionsThis research showed that it was realistic to implement research programs for highly motivated students in medical schools with conditions like those in EUFM. The solution of mentor shortage emerged in this study is dependent on the adoption of student research as a national policy. Getting acquainted with the interrogative thinking style, conducting research, and making lifelong learning a core value are more important outcomes of research programs than the number of completed projects.
