Distance Learning and Medical Laboratory Education in Malaysia: Lessons from the Global Pandemic

The 2019 Coronavirus disease outbreak (CoVID-19) caused a dramatic change in institutions of higher learning where face-to-face learning had to be converted to online distance learning. The aim of this study was to investigate the perspectives and challenges faced by Diploma in Medical Laboratory Technology students towards the implementation of online distance learning during the CoVID-19 pandemic. A cross-sectional descriptive study was utilized. Students were strongly encouraged to fill out the questionnaire which was administered online via Google Form online survey and their participation were voluntary. Quantitative data was analysed using basic distribution of percentages and for the responses to the open-ended question the most common repeated key words were identified and counted. In general, 43.7% of students did not provide certainty whether they really felt satisfied with distance learning activities during the CoVID-19 pandemic. But 53.5% of students disagree and strongly disagree that distance learning gives similar satisfaction as classroom learning. In terms of teaching and learning satisfaction 60.6% of students agreed that lectures were well-organized in relation to each other, while in terms of the effectiveness of e-learning in improving clinical skills, assessment methods, discussion, and video and sound quality got various reactions ranging from strongly agree to strongly disagree. For strength in distance learning, more than 45% of students agreed that they can easily access online materials, participate, and engage in learning sessions wherever they are, record teaching sessions, more self-directed and eager to prepare earlier with learning materials. The major challenges agreed upon by students were weaknesses in terms of interaction among students (60.6%) and also with educators (56.3%), followed by technical problems, lack of self-discipline, lack of focus during online lectures and lack of honesty while conducting assessments. Majority of students indicate that the learning process of lectures (54.9%) and tutorials (53.5%) can be conducted in a blended learning manner. But for practical sessions, 76.5% of students prefer to return to offline class. The results of this study show the best ways to ensure that learning and teaching sessions are not affected even if we must face situations such as other global pandemics in the future. Henceforth, the valuable information gained as a result of this experience can be used to strengthen the curriculum and to maximize learning and teaching.

Stigmatization and Dishonesty: How Doctors Communicate and Cope with Mental Issues among COVID-19 Patients in Indonesia

Background: The coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak has caused public fear alongside social stigma and discrimination. As a result, people hide the illness to avoid discrimination. This study focuses on investigating doctor-patient communication, their challenges when diagnosing suspected COVID-19 patients, and how the physicians communicated with patients’ mental issues. Methods: A mixed-methods approach examined this phenomenon and an online survey was conducted among 221 Indonesian doctors. The following were quantitatively examined: theme of Covid stigma and patient openness, patient/physician interaction and communication, and information and stigmatization of Covid. Qualitatively, two Focus Group Discussions (FGD) were conducted with five physicians and four COVID-19 survivors or their family members. Thereafter, interviews were set up with the selected four persons. Results: 74.2% of respondents encountered patients with lack of honesty or openness, while 55% of physicians claimed that 1-2 patients out of every 10 patients covered up about their illness. 27% of physicians indicated that 3-5 of 10 patients did not tell the truth. Majority of respondents opined that the media/social media played a large role in the promotion of stigma for those who had COVID-19. Conclusion: Study results affirmed belief in a link between the stigma of COVID-19 and patients’ dishonesty. Results indicated that many individuals are reluctant to disclose their true positions for fear of stigmatization by the people around them. This is linked to the stigma of COVID-19 and patient reluctance to be honest about their health/illness per impact of COVID-19. This research concluded that doctors need to find creative ways to communicate with their patients so as to increase patient honesty about illness.

The importance of morality for collective self‐esteem and motivation to engage in socially responsible behavior at work among professionals in the finance industry

AbstractPublic comments criticizing the honesty and trustworthiness of Professionals in Finance (PIFs) are commonly seen as a way to motivate them towards engaging in more socially responsible business practices. However, the link between public views of this professional group, the self‐views of individual group members, and their motivation to engage in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities has not been empirically examined. In this research, we draw on Social Identity Theory (SIT) and the Behavioral Regulation Model for social evaluation (BRM) to examine how the self‐views of individual group members relate to perceived characteristics of their professional group, indicating Competence and Morality. In two studies (N = 123, 191) we examined whether the self‐views of high‐profile and general PIFs are affected by other people's perceptions of the honesty and trustworthiness of this professional group. The results offer support for our reasoning derived from SIT and the BRM. In both studies, we first demonstrate that public concerns about the group's lack of honesty and trustworthiness impact on the moral self‐views of financial professionals. Subsequently, we employ an experimental design to reveal that reinforcing moral criticism leveled at the group only reduces the motivation of individual group members to engage in CSR activities, while group‐level moral affirmation enhances this motivation. The results of both studies converge to demonstrate how public critique on the moral behavior of their professional group relates to the self‐views and behavioral motives of PIFs. We consider the theoretical and practical implications of these findings.

Fuzzy System to Assess Dangerous Driving: A Multidisciplinary Approach.

Dangerous driving can cause accidents, injuries and loss of life. An efficient assessment helps to identify the absence or degree of dangerous driving to take the appropriate decisions while driving. Previous studies assess dangerous driving through two approaches: (i) using electronic devices or sensors that provide objective variables (acceleration, turns and speed), and (ii) analyzing responses to questionnaires from behavioral science that provide subjective variables (driving thoughts, opinions and perceptions from the driver). However, we believe that a holistic and more realistic assessment requires a combination of both types of variables. Therefore, we propose a three-phase fuzzy system with a multidisciplinary (computer science and behavioral sciences) approach that draws on the strengths of sensors embedded in smartphones and questionnaires to evaluate driver behavior and social desirability. Our proposal combines objective and subjective variables while mitigating the weaknesses of the disciplines used (sensor reading errors and lack of honesty from respondents, respectively). The methods used are of proven reliability in each discipline, and their outputs feed a combined fuzzy system used to handle the vagueness of the input variables, obtaining a personalized result for each driver. The results obtained using the proposed system in a real scenario were efficient at 84.21%, and were validated with mobility experts’ opinions. The presented fuzzy system can support intelligent transportation systems, driving safety, or personnel selection.

Offline: Complacency threatens progress against COVID-19

Hans Kluge, WHO's Regional Director for Europe, has been reported as saying that European nations could soon be entering a “long period of tranquillity” as the pandemic abates. Pointing out that mortality from COVID-19 seemed to be plateauing, he suggested the continent was approaching a “plausible endgame” and an “enduring peace”. As WHO's chief spokesperson for the 53 countries that make up his regional responsibility, Kluge was no doubt seeking to strike an optimistic and encouraging note. But it is disappointing that he took such a narrow geographical perspective about a global pandemic. His words promote a false reassurance that could breed complacency, even conceit. Omicron has spread across Europe from west to east, with countries on the eastern reaches of the continent still experiencing increased transmission. The Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) predicts that half the population of Europe will have been infected by March 1. Infections are estimated to be a staggering 10 million per day. R is greater than 1 in at least 24 countries in the region. Hospitalisations and deaths are still increasing in some areas. With over 5000 deaths each day, COVID-19 remains the second largest killer after ischaemic heart disease. Health systems will experience particular pressure in the next few weeks, not least because of shortages of health workers. Daily hospitalisations will peak at 1·1 million in early February. In the coming weeks, IHME predicts that 45 countries will endure high or extreme stress on their intensive care facilities. 174 000 additional deaths from COVID-19 are predicted between Jan 31 and June 1. This period cannot be defined as tranquil. Although the aftermath of the omicron wave will most likely usher in a relatively quiet spring and summer, IHME predicts that “COVID-19 will return”. Waning immunity and an approaching winter will create conditions for a further surge of infections later in 2022. There is no immediate endgame in sight. The available data point to a much more uncertain future. Indeed, the vaccination status of Kluge's member states reveals a sharply divided continent. Western European nations have achieved relatively high levels of vaccination. 22 countries have double vaccinated over two-thirds of their populations. But as one looks eastwards, the picture is far more bleak. 19 countries have vaccinated fewer than half of their citizens. Rather than celebrating an “enduring peace”, Kluge should be urging countries to be vigilant for new (and old) SARS-CoV-2 variants, build stronger surveillance capacities, address vaccine hesitancy, expand access to antivirals, maintain clear public health messaging about protecting those most vulnerable to the virus, and be wary of animal reservoirs that could reseed human populations with the virus. Europe is not an island. The continent exists amid an evolving global pandemic. R is greater than 1 in 71 countries. Estimated infections still stand at more than 40 million per day. Hospitalisations are around 1·9 million per day. Deaths have increased to over 17 000 per day. COVID-19 is the third largest cause of death worldwide, after heart disease and stroke. IHME predicts that 754 000 deaths from COVID-19 are expected between Jan 31 and June 1. And a huge question mark hangs over China, where the omicron surge has yet to hit. Amid these daunting statistics, new evidence is accruing about the lessons we can learn from this pandemic—lessons that should be embraced more assiduously by global health leaders. Perhaps the most striking finding came recently from the COVID-19 National Preparedness Collaborators. They found that the measures of pandemic preparedness we have relied on in the past do not explain variations in infection fatality between countries. What has been missing from understanding why some countries performed better than others was political context. Countries with low levels of trust in government suffered more. It is this political context that WHO's leaders shrink from underlining. It is far easier to point to technical weaknesses in national and global responses. But WHO should also be more vocal in holding political leaders accountable for the fractured trust their regimes have fostered. A lack of honesty in the assessments of pandemic responses by global health leaders indicates that these lessons have not been learned. And while WHO continues to avoid these inconvenient truths, the world's peoples remain at risk from political ineptitude and dysfunctional governance.

TOXIC RELATIONSHIP IN ANNA TODD’S WATTPAD STORY AFTER

This study is conducted to analyze the context of toxic relationships and find out the characteristics and negative impacts of toxic relationships in a story, After, written by Anna Todd, published in 2013. This study uses a descriptive qualitative method because the process of the results and discussion are accomplished descriptively. One of the significant theories used in this research is proposed by Glass (1995) who claims that toxic relationship is any relationship between people who do not support each other, there is conflict and one seeks to undermine the other, a competition, and disrespect and a lack of cohesiveness. The characteristics of toxic relationships which are analyzed are excessive romantic jealousy, egoism (selfishness) of the partner, and lack of honesty. The negative impacts which are analyzed are disrespect and abuse. The results of this study are that toxic relationships are dangerous and should be avoided by a couple to get a harmony.

PANCA SATYA TERSIRAT DALAM EPOS MAHABHARATA SEBAGAI PEDOMAN PENDIDIKAN KARAKTER GENERASI HINDU

<p><em>Ethics is a procedure of behavior that indicates the merits of an attitude and habits. In Hinduism, ethics is one of Hinduism’s three based frameworks (Tiga Kerangka Dasar) which is a part of morality. While morality is a moral that implies a code of conscience conduct as a guide for someone to be used as a foundation for good behavior in his life. It means that people who have good morality or character are seen from their ethical or code of conduct. In this millennial era, there are many moral degenerations that tend to leave good ethics such as rude behavior, lack of honesty and not being able to control the mind on negative things.

Implementing a formative assessment model at the secondary schools: attitudes and challenges

This paper aims at exploring the issues related to implementing a formative assessment model namely School-Based Assessment (SBA) at secondary schools in Bangladesh. A qualitative study employing interviews with English teachers of grade 8 and the head teachers and FGDs with students from twelve secondary schools was conducted. Moreover, field notes and document analysis provided valuable data. The findings from the qualitative content analysis showed a dismal condition of implementing SBA in Bangladesh. Some distinct reasons posed challenges to implementing SBA. These are teachers’ insufficient orientation towards SBA, teachers’ negative attitude towards SBA, teachers’ heavy workloads, large class size, large contents of syllabus, no reflection of the marks of SBA in public examinations, lack of honesty and fairness in teachers, lack of validity and reliability of SBA as an assessment tool, poor socio-economic conditions of teachers, and the absence of monitoring and supervision by concerned authorities. This study also provides a comprehensive understanding of how teachers conceptualize and apply strategies of SBA in their classrooms, along with some recommendations and, hence, bears implications for the policy makers, teacher trainers, and other stakeholders involved in the Bangladeshi school education system and elsewhere.

Analysis of the Patterns of Mismanagement of Funds in the General Education Sector using the Theory of Accountability and Fraud Triangle: A Case Study of Zambia

Financial mismanagement in the public sector in Zambia is commonplace as shown by the Auditor General’s Reports for many years. The general education sector has the highest figures each year and has a wide range of forms of financial mismanagement. It is not yet known why financial mismanagement exists in the general education sector. The main objective of the study was to profile the patterns of mismanagement of funds in the General Education Sector using the theory of accountability and fraud triangle. A cross-section national study involving a questionnaire survey of 539 respondents from the ten provinces as part of the study. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 22.0. The materiality means score obtained from the ten provinces was all above the sample mean which was 43 implying the existence of materiality in terms of financial mismanagement. About 44% of respondents perceived financial mismanagement to be committed by accounting staff, 33.4% by a top management staff with accounting staff, and 22% by top management alone. The study found out that financial mismanagement was influenced by pressure, perceived opportunity, and the tendency to give an excuse for engaging in unethical behavior. The study also reviewed that there is a lack of legislation and technical knowledge, insufficient monitoring and control of funds, lack of availability of fiscal policies in the education sector, lack of action to combat criminals, and lack of honesty, openness, and credibility. The article proposes corrective measures that can make the financial management of public institutions conform to the principles of good governance. In conclusion, the Ministry of General Education would require embracing in its policies and practices financial mismanagement risk governance, financial mismanagement risk assessment, financial mismanagement prevention, financial mismanagement detection, and financial mismanagement investigation and corrective action in order to mitigate them.

The moral conduct. Ethical dilemmas, the role of the deontological code in social work

The most acute symptom of modernity is the ethical component of society, the so-called spiritual crisis. The essence of moral crisis consists in reducing religiosity; the major effects of diminishing religiosity are: blind obsession for money, selfishness, proliferation of the lack of honesty, decline of the family as a social institution, public proliferation of sexuality, increase of discord, amplification of conflicts of all kinds (between individuals, between the individual and society, between social groups, between generations). The real world alienated itself and even broke away entirely from the world of spiritual, social and moral life. Nowadays, we talk about science, politics, religion, culture, economics, as if they were different fields, as if the involvement of a problem from one field into another field would not be allowed. In this sense, culture should not be involved in matters of science, morality cannot be compatible with business; and in politics we cannot guide ourselves by moral principles. Such attitudes lead to antisocial and deviant patterns of behavior: lying, violence, discrimination, corruption, tax evasion, crime etc.

Fraud Detection of Bus Ticket Sales by using Spatio Temporal Data Mining

Cheating in the sale of bus tickets is often found in transportation service providers who still use the conductor as a ticket seller on the bus. The high cost of supervision, lack of honesty, unification of the sales function and the ticket control function on the conductor makes this fraudulent practice a problem that companies must handle. By looking at the behavior of ticket sales for each individual through the method of spatio temporal clustering can detect fraudulent behavior that occurs. The bus ticket sales deception process is implemented in Bogor's Bus Rapid Transit (BRT). The results show that there are 3.2% of high-potential officers cheating ticket sales. By knowing the cheating behavior of ticket sales, the company can follow up with the policy so that cheating behavior does not become the company culture

Reasons and countermeasures for medical disputes under the role of medical staff as "economic person"

Traditional medicine endows medical staff with the role of moral person ; however, with the development of market economy, the role of medical staff has gradually changed to person in medical activities. Under the role of person , there is an increasing number of medical disputes and injuries of medical staff, with more and more serious consequences. This article analyzes the behavior characteristics of the rights and obligations of moral person and person and the causes of medical disputes under the role of person . Since the lack of honesty has become the product of the new role of medical staff, patients have a doubtful attitude towards medical staff, and the defects in system guidance and management system make it more difficult to settle medical disputes. This article provides a new perspective for building a harmonious doctor-patient relationship and puts forward the hypothesis of honest economic person , so as to achieve the dialectical unity of the dual identities of moral person and person . Under the role of honest economic person , adherence to honesty and trustworthiness, pursuit of maximum medical benefits, emphasis on the social benefits of medical treatment, and material and spiritual incentives for medical staff can help to alleviate the conflict of interests between doctors and patients and reduce medical disputes. Key words: Economic person; Defensive medical behavior; Honesty
