Integrating AI with emotional and social learning in primary education: Developing a holistic adaptive learning ecosystem

This paper highlights the significance, potential benefits, challenges, and proposed solutions associated with integrating AI-driven tools and platforms into SEL initiatives. The importance of integrating AI with SEL in primary education lies in its ability to foster the holistic development of students. By equipping students with the tools to navigate academic challenges, interpersonal relationships, and emotional regulation, schools can create dynamic learning environments that prioritize the whole child. The potential benefits of integrating AI with SEL are manifold. AI-powered adaptive learning platforms can personalize instruction, provide targeted support, and promote the development of emotional intelligence and social skills among students. Additionally, AI-driven tools and platforms can facilitate collaborative learning experiences, promote active engagement, and provide real-time feedback to students and educators. However, the integration of AI with SEL also presents various challenges that must be addressed. Ethical considerations, such as data privacy, algorithmic bias, and the digital divide, require careful attention to ensure equitable access and outcomes for all students. Additionally, educators may lack the necessary knowledge and skills to effectively utilize AI tools and platforms for SEL purposes, highlighting the need for training and professional development programs. To address these challenges, collaborative efforts among educators, policymakers, technologists, and researchers are essential. By working together, stakeholders can develop evidence-based practices and solutions that align with the goals and values of primary education. Training and professional development programs for educators, robust policies and safeguards for the ethical use of AI technologies, and equitable access to technology for all students are critical components of successful integration.

Exploring the dynamics of physician-patient relationships: Factors affecting patient satisfaction and complaints.

This review identifes the factors influencing the relationship between physicians and patients that can lead to patients' dissatisfaction and medical complaints. Utilizing a systemic approach 92 studies were retrieved which included quantitative, qualitative, and mixed method studies. Through a thematic analysis of the literature, we identified three interrelated main themes that can influence the relationship between physicians and patients, patients' satisfaction, and the decision to file a medico-legal complaint. The main themes include patient and physician characteristics; the interpersonal relationship between physicians and patients; and the health care system and policies, with relevant subthemes. These themes are demonstrated in a descriptive model. The review suggests areas of focus for physicians who may wish to increase their awareness around the potential sources of relational problems with their patients. Identifying these issues may assist in improvements in the therapeutic relationship with patients, can reduce their medico-legal risk, and enhance the quality of their clinical practice. The findings can also be utilized to support andragogical principles for medical learners. The article can serve as a structured framework to identify potential problems and gaps to design and test effective interventions to mitigate these potential relational problems between physician-patient.

Determinants of Counterproductive Work Behavior: A Moderation and Mediation Analysis

The purpose of the article is to investigate the impact of employment stressors, specifically job insecurity (JI), interpersonal conflicts at work (ICW), and leader–member exchange (LMX), on counterproductive work behaviors (CWB). The stressor-emotion theory of CWB suggests that the connections between these factors could be influenced by emotional exhaustion (EE) and regulated by emotional intelligence (EI). A cross-sectional survey was undertaken online to gather data from 431 IT personnel in India. The model proposed, postulating relationships among the variables, underwent testing through structural equation modeling (SEM) utilizing the process macro in SPSS. The moderation analysis was conducted using Hayes’ PROCESS macro in SPSS. The findings confirmed that all three job stressors have a significant impact on CWB. Additionally, EE partially mediated all three relationships. Similarly, EI moderated only the association between ICW and CWB, but not those of JI and LMX with CWB. It is highly imperative for organizations to comprehend the concept deeply and research further to determine the antecedents that impact CWB, to realize their goals.

The Role of Human Resource Manager and Work Stress Management in An Organization

There is almost one reason behind a number of problems in an employee's life, and that is stress. Many authors define stress in their own way. Workplace stress is an attention-seeking phenomenon in this modern word. It is not just a word but a feeling that affects an individual physically, mentally, emotionally and behaviorally. Work stress is influenced by three different concepts, which are stressors, stress reaction, stress post-effect. The stress post-effect includes positive stress (eustress) and negative stress (distress). Both play a different role in the concept of stress. Stressor aspects that make an employee experience stress, such as a new project, goals, deadlines, new opportunity, extra work hours, employer expectations, interpersonal relationships, co-worker disputes, etc. are stressors. Various initiatives are taken in the organization and strategies are made by the employees and the employer to overcome this inevitable problem and make the employees more comfortable and efficient. HRM plays an important role in this. The study focuses on measures and keys to overcome stress with the role of HRM.

AS SOFT SKILLS DESENVOLVIDAS PELOS ALUNOS DA FACULDADE DE TECNOLOGIA DE CATANDUVA POR MEIO DO ESTÁGIO SUPERVISIONADO

Changes in the business environment have led to a number of transformations which have contributed significantly to increased concern about employability. Another current concern is whether graduates have the skills required by employers. Data shows that soft skills are currently more important than hard skills. In view of this, the aim of this article is to identify whether soft skills and social competencies are developed by students at the Catanduva Faculty of Technology during their supervised internship. Soft skills are interpersonal skills that involve a set of competencies, including social competencies, related to individual interaction. Both are complementary and of great importance in improving professional performance. In this study, it was examined whether the skills developed through the internship are important for a professional career, as well as the benefits to academics and organizations. The research was of an applied nature, with a quantitative-qualitative approach, a case study with a descriptive objective. A semi-structured questionnaire was applied to 39 (50%) student interns from the Business Management, Information Technology Management and Industrial Automation courses. Cronbach's alpha coefficient was used to validate the instrument, with a value of 0.96. The results indicate that the students possess the competences analyzed, some of which are highlighted as essential by employers by 2025, according to information released by the World Economic Forum. Notably, the most developed skills were problem-solving and interpersonal relationships.

Gender violence, emotion, and the state symposium commentary

AbstractFeminist anthropologists have long emphasized the cultural, social, economic, and political contexts of gender violence rather than only focusing on interpersonal relationships between intimate partners or within the family. This commentary situates the five articles in the Gender Violence, Emotion, and the State Symposium within that context while noting their “evocative ethnographic” approach as a vital contribution to feminist anthropological thought, paying particular attention to power and its exercise within institutions and various forms of structural violence.

Associations Between Social Support and Patient-Reported Outcomes in Hemodialysis Patients: Results from the TACcare Study.

End Stage Kidney Disease (ESKD) patients experience high symptom burden which has been associated with a negative impact on their interpersonal relationships. However, there is limited research exploring associations of social support and patient-reported outcomes among hemodialysis (HD) patients. The current study is a secondary, cross-sectional analyses of the sociodemographic and clinical correlates of perceived social support (Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support; MSPSS) at baseline. The study examined the extent to which perceived social support is associated with pain, depression, fatigue, anxiety, sleep, and HRQoL (SF-12 Mental Component Score; MCS) and Physical Component Score; PCS)). Of the 160 randomized patients: mean (SD) age was 58 ±14 years; years on dialysis was 4.1 + 4.2; 45% were female; 29% Black, 13% American Indian, 18% Hispanic; 88% had at least high school education; and 27% were married. Mean baseline levels of perceived social support were comparable to other chronically ill populations. At least a high school education (p = 0.04) and being married (p = 0.05) were associated with higher total MSPSS scores. Higher MSPSS scores were correlated with lower levels of fatigue (r = 0.21, p =0.008; higher fatigue scores signify lower fatigue), pain (r = -0.17, p = 0.03), depressive symptoms (r = -0.26, p < 0.001), anxiety (r = -0.23, p = 0.004), better sleep quality (r = -0.32, p < 0.001) and SF-12 MCS (r = 0.26, p <0.001). Moderation analyses revealed male sex and non-Hispanic ethnicity resulted in stronger positive associations of perceived social support with SF-12 MCS. The level of perceived social support observed among thrice weekly HD patients in TACcare was similar to those observed in other chronic conditions. Because of the associations between perceived social support and patient-reported outcomes, particularly psychosocial and behavioral health outcomes, targeting social support appears to be warranted among HD patients.

Construction of a competency evaluation index system for postgraduates of educational technology

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to determine the competency characteristics required for the employment of master’s degree students in educational technology.Design/methodology/approachA combined qualitative and quantitative method was used to consult multiple experts through a modified Delphi method. Competency characteristics were extracted from Chinese recruitment apps, national recruitment websites and university training programs. Ten senior teacher experts who teach educational technology master’s students were consulted through a questionnaire consultation to validate the proposed competency model. The weights of competency characteristics were determined through a combination of the analytic hierarchy process and entropy method.FindingsThe results show that when recruiting educational technology master’s students, more emphasis is placed on operational skills. The majority of companies tend to assess practical abilities rather than theoretical knowledge. Relevant knowledge of educational technology, psychology, computer science and education is considered to be the basic knowledge components of educational technology master’s students, while professional skills are the core skills required for their positions. Therefore, universities need to focus on training, educational technology graduate students in these areas of competence. The study also found that professional qualities (such as physical and mental fitness) and personality traits (interpersonal communication and interaction) receive more attention from companies and are essential competencies for educational technology master’s students.Originality/valueA competence model for educational technology master’s students is proposed, which includes aspects such as knowledge, personal skills/abilities, professional qualities and personality traits. The competence elements included in this model can serve as reference indicators for universities to cultivate the competence of educational technology master’s students, as well as reference points for recruiting units to help them select talents. This represents a new dimension in research related to the employment of educational technology master’s students. The study enriches the research objects and competence dictionary in the field of competence research.

“CLIMBING IS MY WEAPON” – A PSYCHOSOCIAL BOULDERING INTERVENTION FOR ADOLESCENTS AND ITS IMPACT ON THE PSYCHOLOGICAL WELL-BEING OF ADOLESCENTS IN LEBANON

INTRODUCTION AND AIMS Previous research highlights the positive effects of physical activity, also climbing therapy, on mental health, including benefits on depression and self-esteem. Recognising the mental health challenges faced by young people in Lebanon, particularly in the context of multiple crises and forced displacement, this interventional study explores the benefits of a psychosocial climbing programme in eastern Lebanon. METHODS In collaboration with the non-profit organisation ClimbAID, this waitlist-controlled, partially randomised, mixed-methods study examines the effects of an eight-week psychosocial bouldering group intervention on overall mental well-being, levels of psychological distress, self-efficacy and social cohesion among a group of host and refugee youth in the Bekaa Valley. Qualitative interviews with 40 participants provide insights into their experiences, lessons learned and subjective outcomes. The intervention, delivered by 2 trained facilitators and up to 2 volunteers, took place weekly for 2 hours with groups of up to 12 young people. RESULTS With 233 participants, the trial had a dropout rate of approximately 33%. The intervention group showed significant improvements in overall mental well-being and psychological distress compared with the waitlist groups. Group allocation was the only significant predictor of improved mental well-being, in addition to baseline scores. While no significant differences in self-efficacy and social cohesion were observed, qualitative analysis revealed that participants highly valued the non-judgmental approach, highlighting significant benefits in interpersonal relationships and mental well-being. CONCLUSION In the challenging humanitarian context of forced displacement, the psychosocial bouldering intervention effectively enhanced well-being and reduced psychological distress among host and refugee youth in Bekaa, Lebanon. As a group intervention, bouldering emerges as a valuable option for supporting host and refugee populations in low-income countries.

Chinese Negative Reactions to Positive Gender Stereotypes: A Perspective of Psychological Reactance Theory

Individuals’ lives depend heavily on their freedom, which is why they may respond with reactance if freedom is threatened. Our research, which spans four studies with 1,486 Chinese students as participants, from the perspective of psychological reactance theory, provides evidence that positive gender stereotypes can provoke targets’ negative reactions. In Study 1, participants who heard a speaker state a positive gender stereotype (e.g., “women are beautiful” and “men are strong”) disliked the speaker more, believed that the speaker was more gender prejudiced, and experienced stronger negative emotions than those who heard no stereotype. In Studies 2−4, freedom threat was a crucial mediator in the relation between the positive gender stereotype and targets’ negative reactions. Furthermore, depersonalization also played a parallel mediating role. Although positive gender stereotypes seem superficially complimentary, they may have detrimental effects on interpersonal relations. Our research suggests that people should refrain from using stereotypes in their interpersonal interactions whenever possible. Even though people may sometimes inevitably convey positive stereotypes to others, they should be given the freedom to minimize the negative consequences of such stereotypes.

Challenged thriving: a qualitative study of resilience in multiple sclerosis family carers during the COVID-19 pandemic

This study investigates the lived experiences of multiple sclerosis family carers during the COVID-19 pandemic and explores the impact of the pandemic on psychological resilience processes using a socioecological framework. Following thematic analysis of interviews, two main findings emerged: first, behavioural vigilance intended to mitigate viral spread eclipsed carers’ needs and deprived them of support resources; and, second, multiple sclerosis carers harboured resilience via practices of gratitude and leveraging interpersonal relationships. Future action is needed to develop public crisis responses that integrate multiple sclerosis carers’ needs, including improved care-continuity models, the alleviation of social isolation and advancements in multifaceted wellness preservation.

Suicidal attempt in a patient with gambling disorder: A rare case report

Background: Gambling disorder is characterized by a compulsive, repetitive and maladaptive pattern of gambling that results in significant distress. It is now classified into the “Substance-Related and Addictive Disorders'' group in the 5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5). Some participants do present with psychiatric complications ranging from mood, substance use, abnormal personality traits and even suicidality. This comorbidities complicates both presentation and treatment. Methods: In this report, we presented a case of a 32 year old civil servant who presented with repeated engagement in online sport gambling with ensuing accrued debts, strained interpersonal relationships, depressive symptoms and subsequent suicidal attempt by hanging himself in a closed room at night. This was a rare case of pathological gambling that was complicated by a severe depressive episode and suicidal attempt with a fatal means (hanging) in a patient with family history of gambling and psychotic illness. Conclusion: Pathological gambling is an addictive behavior with far reaching consequences such as mood disorders, suicidal behaviors and subsequent affectation of functioning of the individuals involved. Early detection and prompt intervention is essential to prevent further complications.

Investigation on the joint travel behavior in bike sharing systems during the COVID-19 pandemic: Insights from New York City

As the COVID-19 pandemic worsened, many people saw bikes as one of the safest means of transportation in the hard-hit cities. All the bike sharing utilization patterns during the pandemic are worthy of careful attention. However, there is still a lack of comprehensive understanding of niche but notable cycling behaviors, such as multi-person round trip (MPRT), defined as two or more cyclists intentionally riding together then returning bikes to the original docking station. This study extends the relevant literature by firstly proposing a MPRT identification framework based on individual bike sharing trip records, with consideration of interpersonal relationships between co-travelers, as well as the specificity of round trips against one-way trips. Taking New York City as a case study, this study examines the changes over space and time of MPRT frequencies from 2019 (i.e. pre-pandemic period) to 2020 (i.e. pandemic period), and the reasons for it. Notably, special consideration of the aforementioned analysis is paid to the influence of the real-time situation of COVID-19 in terms of cases, deaths, hospitalizations, and tests. Results reveal that (1) the MPRT frequencies obey a long tail distribution, both prior to and during the COVID-19 outbreak; (2) the group size, temporal patterns and co-traveler community are profoundly affected by the COVID-19 outbreak; (3) four indicators related to COVID-19 show different influences on co-travelers over time; (4) bike sharing availability and personal economic situation are closely related with MPRT frequencies. These findings can help develop more targeted strategies for improving the operation of a bike sharing system to meet the possible diversified demands of cyclists during the future pandemics.
