Implementation of basic life support education for the lay public in China: barriers, enablers, and possible solutions.

Education for the lay public in basic life support (BLS) is critical for increasing bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) rates and improving survival from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Despite years of implementation, the BLS training rate in China has remained modest. The aim of this study was to investigate the factors influencing the implementation of BLS training programs in emergency medical service (EMS) centers in China and to identify specific barriers and enablers. Qualitative interviews were conducted with key informants from 40 EMS centers in Chinese cities. The participants included 11 directors/deputy directors, 24 training department leaders, and 5 senior trainers. The interview guide was based on the Exploration, Preparation, Implementation, Sustainment (EPIS) framework. Thematic content analysis was used to identify themes and patterns across the interviews. We identified 16 factors influencing the implementation of BLS training programs encompassing the outer content, inner context, innovation and bridging factors. Some factors acted as either barriers or enablers at different EPIS stages. The main implementation barriers included limited external leadership, insufficient government investment, low public awareness, a shortage of trainers, an absence of incentives, an absence of authoritative courses and guidelines, a lack of qualification to issue certificates, limited academic involvement, and insufficient publicity. The main enablers were found to be supportive government leaders, strong public demand, adequate resources, program champions, available high-quality courses of high fitness within the local context, the involvement of diverse institutions, and effective publicity and promotion. Our findings emphasize the diversity of stakeholders, the complexity of implementation, and the need for localization and co-construction when conducting BLS training for lay public in city EMS centers. Improvements can be made at the national level, city level, and EMS institutional level to boost priority and awareness, promote legislation and policies, raise sustainable resources, and enhance the technology of BLS courses.

Corporate Governance Attributes and Financial Performance of Listed Industrial Goods Companies in Nigeria

Corporate governance is the system by which the affairs of the companies are directed and controlled by those charged with the responsibility. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between corporate governance attributes and the financial performance of listed industrial goods companies in Nigeria. The methodology adopted in this study was an ex -post facto research design. Secondary data from eleven (11) listed industrial goods companies in Nigeria for the period of eleven (11) years (2009-2019) was obtained based on the convenience sampling method. The statistical tools used were multiple regression analysis and Pearson’s product-moment correlation aided by the statistical package for social science (SPSS) version 22. The finding showed that corporate governance had a significant positive relationship with financial performance. Likewise, the board size, board composition and board member competence have a positive relationship with net profit margin. It was concluded that corporate governance attributes influence the financial performance of listed industrial goods companies in Nigeria. It was recommended among others that external auditors should be mandated to issue certificates of compliance with the code of corporate governance for public companies as it is obtainable in some countries like India. Likewise, Appraisal tools for regular monitoring of boards of directors should be developed to help create credibility in corporations in Nigeria. Competent outside directors with requisite experience should be appointed to the board at all times necessary.

Analysis of Pig Farmers' Preference and Adoption Behavior for Food Safety Information Labels in China.

Food labels are used to reduce the inefficiencies that arise from information asymmetry. Since food certification and traceability labels are commonly food safety information labels used in China, it is of great importance to study producer preference and adoption behavior towards these food safety information labels. This study constructs a profile of food labels that includes different levels of four safety information attributes, including place of origin, edible agricultural products conformity certificate, traceability code, and organic/green certification. Based on the primary data of pig farmers in Zhejiang Province and using Random Parameters Logit Model and Latent Class Model, this paper analyzed farmers' willingness to supply pork with food safety information labels and discussed farmers' adoption behaviors in the production process. Results indicate that among the four information attributes, farmers were more likely to supply pork with the place of origin and organic/green certification. They had a negative willingness to provide pork with a conformity certificate that is certificated by a third party. The preferences for food safety information labels were heterogeneous among farmers. 13.5% of the farmers belonged to the certification-inclined class, and 37.9% of the farmers were traceability preferred. However, the adoption rate by farmers of pork with traceability labels in production was only 7.69%. Therefore, governments and markets should increase incentives for farmers to participate in the traceability system and encourage farmers to issue certificates, and further strengthen the education and training of farmers.

PRACTICAL ASPECTS OF ELABORATION OF INTERNATIONAL INVESTMENT PROJECT IN EDUCATION SPHERE IN JAPAN

In Japan, one of the strongest economies in the world and home to 125 million people, proficiency in English language is associated with the huge advantages and signifies privilege since the Meiji era when English was used as a tool by Japanese elite in a technological catch-up with the West. The seven years of U.S. occupation of the country after the Second World War have also left a big impact on the Japan’s economic, political and social development. The reconstruction of Japan aided by Americans altered the perception of Japanese people, associating English language with such ideas like freedom and democracy. During the seven years of occupation the country faced a lot of political and economic changes, including liberalization, and was slowly transitioning its central industries from agriculture to light manufacturing and later to heavy manufacturing. The economy of Japan has been slowly recovering from an era of economic stagnation, it is on the path of the moderate growth. Today, it is the third strongest economy with the nominal GDP of about $5.06 trillion that is focused on advanced manufacturing and export, agriculture, fishing and tourism. Japan is very special and different from other countries; a lot of great companies and unique business practices were born there. It is also leading in high-tech innovations and manufacturing. While having a lot of opportunities for various businesses, being politically stable and safe country, its bureaucracy and the comparative difficulty of doing business for foreigners makes it a controversial but potentially rewarding choose for an investment project. In the recent years, the necessity of knowing how to communicate in English has increased significantly. The school program focuses mainly on such skills as reading and writing, and a lot of attempts to reform the system has failed. That is why parents and students are approaching private language schools to master the abilities of speaking and listening. In addition, English teaching is one of the most popular jobs for foreigners in Japan. The language school market is quite saturated, but at given circumstances it can be very rewarding. The idea of the investment project is to create a private language school that will focus on giving Japanese people the practical English skills. The project involves the creation of Gōdō Kaisha (a Japanese analogue to the LLC). This type of incorporation fits the company best, considering the size and scale of the activities. As the company is not planning to issue certificates, the need for special licensing from the state is absent. Appointing a representative director is obligatory in Japan, but GK, allows to appoint a representative director who is not a resident in Japan. The company plans to hire the foreigners already living in Japan, that way the company will be

Undocumented citizens and the making of ID documents in Nigeria: an ethnography of the politics of suspicion in Jos

Abstract For 40 years, Nigeria has separated its citizens into two categories, ‘indigenes’ and ‘non-indigenes’. Indigene citizens can trace their genealogical roots back to a community in a locality. All local governments (LGs) in Nigeria issue certificates of indigene, which give access to the job market and university. This issuance of certificate of indigene has received scant academic attention despite the centrality of the indigeneity issue in Nigeria. In the two last decades, issuing certificates has become part of the political tensions and mass violence in Plateau State (Jos) as politicians and bureaucrats have transformed certificates to exclude most of the population from the local citizenship. Through an ethnographic approach, this article explores how a politics of suspicion can contribute to the growing literature on legal identification. Focusing on local authorities helps in understanding the centrality of suspicion in the making of new undocumented citizens which are not minority groups (foreigners, migrants and asylum seekers) usually targeted by national authorities. The complicated procedures to get certificates and the production of fake ones are an outcome of this politics of suspicion. The article also shows that a locally paper-based bureaucracy could expand at the same time as—and while being disconnected from—biometric identification.

Conclusions: It is quite necessary to implement personal protective equipment training among new hospital infection managers; where, practical training, assessment, information-based questionnaire survey, expert theory teaching have achieved good results; the training helps reduce occupational exposure-induced hospital infection, and at the same time, avoids improper use of protective materials and waste.

중소기업의 FTA 특혜원산지증명서 발급 및 검증의 리엔지니어링

Korea’s economic territory is gradually expanding due to free trade agreements. In the case of SMEs, it is not easy to efficiently prepare to the increasing FTA compared to large enterprises. Accordingly, the government and related organizations have been providing various support for SMEs. However, there is still a 20% gap in FTA utilization compared to large companies. Therefore, this study intends to suggest a method for increasing the FTA utilization rate of SMEs. For the issuance and verification of certificates of origin for SMEs, the concept of re-engineering was introduced to find a solution. This solution is direct manpower support for SMEs. Compared to other support methods, manpower support can not only issue certificates of origin more efficiently, but also prepare for verification. Moreover, the effect will be greater than if the supported manpower is educated on the contents that origin specialist needs to know, such as changes in various systems and the results of case analysis on country of origin verification by agreement. Of course, such manpower will be able to utilize origin management experts who have obtained the certified of origin specialist. In Korea, there is a certification system called Origin Specialist to train origin management experts. Therefore, if manpower who has acquired these qualifications is deployed to SMEs, the utilization rate of FTAs by SMEs can be increased, and MEGA FTAs can be dealt with without difficulty in the future. In particular, due to such a manpower arrangement, it will be possible to provide high-quality jobs rather than part-time jobs and lower the unemployment rate.

Legislation on Halal Food in Pakistan: An Analytical Study

The term ‘ḥalāl ’ signifies ‘permissible’ for Muslims. Islamic laws regarding the determination of ḥalāl and harām food have been clear but after the introduction of modern techniques of food deciding of food as ḥalāl or harām has become a major concern for Muslim populations as well as Muslim states. Muslim states have introduced laws to ensure ḥalāl character of foods and Pakistan is no exception. In Pakistan, there are several laws related to this issue. The West Pakistan Pure Food Ordinance was enacted in 1960 which regulated the preparation and sale of foods. The Breastfeeding Ordinance 2002 was introduced to regulate baby food manufacture. Then there are laws like Pakistan Status of Food Laws and Regulations 2015, the Halal Food Authority Act 2015, and Pakistan Hotel and Restaurants Act 1976. With time, the need was felt to establish bodies which can verify food ingredients as well as manufacture procedure and can issue certificates. There is a need to thoroughly analyze these laws as well as the procedure of ḥalāl certification to find out the strengths and flaws/lacunas of the system if any. This article will present an analytical study of laws related to ḥalāl food in Pakistan and will propose suggestions to improve the effectiveness of these laws.

Has the Time Come for Relief for Federal Convictions?

Congress has been weighing a new form of judicial relief—a Certificate of Rehabilitation—that could alleviate the “internal exile” caused by the collateral consequences of a federal conviction. Aside from the once robust, now rare and erratic pardon power, federal law lacks a general restoration-of-rights regime. Currently authorized by 13 states, judicial certificates of relief are recommended by the major national law reform organizations. This essay describes a bipartisan Senate proposal to authorize federal judges to issue certificates of rehabilitation.

Commentary: Blindness, schools for the blind: Our scenario!

The current prevalence of blindness in children in India is known to be around 0.8 per 1,000.[1] In developing countries, 30% to 72% of pediatric blindness is avoidable with most, in fact, being preventable.[23] The causes of blindness, based on studies conducted in blind schools, have shifted from preventable causes to irreversible causes due to better health care facilities.[4] Paradoxically, according to the present study’s authors (IJO_3725_20) Vasudha Kemmanu et al., study[4] and and our experience, children with low vision and correctable blindness are wrongly included in blind schools, and children who are actually blind are sent to regular schools.[45] Likewise, children with low vision are recruited in regular schools, who actually need special teachers (integrated education) to help them. There is a definite disparity in recruiting children in blind schools and regular schools.[4] This implies that we need to improve the way we are examining children, categorizing the type of visual impairment and blindness, and issuing certificates. Certifying that a child is blind needs to be standardized irrespective of the issuing authority, and if required, appropriate investigations and opinions from nearby higher centers can be obtained. This can eliminate the common problem of error of inclusion and exclusion in schools for the blind.[4] Apart from this, there is definite misuse of the whole system to obtain disability certificates so as to avail the benefits made available for these children. This can be minimized if proper guidelines are laid down to establish a diagnosis, personnel/authority to issue certificates, and how to avoid various practical problems and errors. These guidelines should be standardized and implemented universally. It is important to motivate parents of visually challenged children to allow their children to get an education in schools that are best for them. Yet another pathetic situation is that there is a gender-based difference: male children more often are privileged to get an education compared with girls.[4] Parents fear to send their girl child to a residential school, far away from home, which is a natural feeling. To overcome this, we probably need to have schools with hostels exclusively for girls with lady teachers and supporting staff. This may motivate parents and make them feel secure to send their daughters to school. To conclude, we need to standardize the guidelines to define vision impairment and blindness, certification process, and service delivery. Strengthening the schools for the blind and regular schools for integrated education with regard to infrastructure, human resources, and adequate training is very essential. Emphasis should be on equal distribution of schools for the blind, and details of the same should be uploaded on the website. Needless to say, we need to increase the awareness about vision impairment and blindness among the general public.

Music therapy in Turkey: Historical background and current perspectives on dementia and end-of-life care

This report has two objectives: a) to provide a historical background of music therapy in Turkey covering the period from the Seljuks (1037-1194) to modern times, and b) to describe current music interventions applied in Turkey in end-of-life care and dementia. During the Seljuk and Ottoman period, many şifahanes (hospitals) were built, and important scientists of the period from the 9th century until the 19th century included music and health issues in their work. In the last period of the Ottoman Empire, some şifahanes were closed and some of them were destroyed in wars. Then, the use of music as a therapeutic agent was forgotten until the end of the 1970s. Later on, some articles on the subject were written and interventions were carried out under the name of ‘music therapy’. These practices are based on the interventions of music-based practices in hospitals. In 2013, music therapy was included as a discipline in the Department of Traditional and Complementary Medicine of the Ministry of Health. Since 2018, universities have begun to issue certificates of music therapy approved by the Ministry of Health. Since there is no undergraduate, graduate and doctoral level training, the number of music therapists is insufficient in Turkey. Health workers or musicians are performing music-based practices with end-of-life care and dementia patients, and these practices are viewed as music therapy. Ultimately, the services provided in end-of-life care and dementia in Turkey are not music therapy applications, but rather music- based interventions conducted by musicians or healthcare professionals.

Airport management perspectives on aviation biofuels: drivers, barriers, and policy requirements in the US Pacific Northwest

This study explores perspectives of airport management on aviation biofuels in the Pacific Northwest of the USA by administering an online survey of airport managers in FAA certified airports in the region. Respondents provided their opinions on factors important for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) development in the Pacific Northwest, including perceptions of various potential drivers and barriers to scale-up in the region. Most respondents indicated that policy certainty to attract capital, higher oil prices, and technology breakthroughs are required for a viable industry, and they also indicated that government intervention is important to ensure successful adoption and implementation. Respondents indicated that aviation biofuel tax credits, a system to issue and trade sustainable biofuel certificates, and fuel sustainability certification criteria are required policies/protocol to ensure viability. We suggest that a regional approach to examining barriers, drivers, and policy requirements provides more nuanced perspectives regarding key SAF development and scale-up issues.
