The relationship between antecedents of reverse logistics implementation and economic performance in retail: empirical study for the electronic sector

ABSTRACT This research develops a conceptual model to elucidate the relationship between antecedents of reverse logistics implementation and economic performance. A mixed-methods approach was employed, with qualitative research exploring antecedents and quantitative analysis using 405 responses from Vietnamese electronic retail enterprises to test hypotheses. The findings identified institutional pressure, resource commitment, IT capability, and corporate reputation as antecedents of reverse logistics implementation, exerting direct and/or indirect effects on economic performance. PLS-SEM analysis generated research results consistent with the previously established theoretical conceptual model, and IPMA highlighted institutional pressure and resource commitment as impactful factors despite their low average scores. Notably, resource commitment plays a moderating role in dampening the positive relationship between institutional pressure and reverse logistics implementation. This study provides deeper insights into reverse logistics theory, supporting retail decision-making to enhance economic performance. However, variations in study scope may lead to differences in outcomes, presenting a significant challenge.

Status of 21st-Century Liberal Arts Education: Curriculum Reform in Japanese Universities and Evaluation by Society

Ever since bachelor’s competencies were introduced as a reference standard in Japan, many Japanese higher education institutions have been exploring and practicing liberal arts education for the 21st century. This study posits that incorporating new elements into university education has been a significant trend in liberal arts education for the 21st century. Building on the results of a comprehensive survey, primarily involving universities and industry, this study provides an in-depth analysis of how 21st-century liberal arts education is evaluated and expected by companies and others. A questionnaire survey was administered to universities regarding their provision of 21st-century liberal arts education and the status of reforms toward this education, and to companies and other members of society regarding their expectations and evaluation of 21st-century liberal arts education provided by universities, as well as the content they evaluate as learning outcomes for university students and the qualities and skills they consider when employing them. The findings from the survey of universities and companies indicate that the average scores for curriculum reform and establishment of new courses at universities and host companies are relatively low, as indicated by the relatively low average scores for keywords that companies place importance on. Undeniably, universities’ efforts toward reform and the reality of such efforts should be conveyed to the public. Through dialogue with the industrial sector, we can understand the necessity of sharing and realizing openness to developing human resources through collaboration and innovation.

Quality of life and late therapy effects in pediatric non-Hodgkin lymphoma survivors: Insights from a single-institution study.

The survival outcomes of pediatric patients with mature B-non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) have improved due to advances in treatment. We aimed to assess the frequency and severity of late effects and their impact on quality of life among pediatric NHL survivors. This retrospective study included patients diagnosed with mature B-NHL at Children's Cancer Hospital of Egypt (CCHE) 57357 from January 2012 through December 2015. Patients received treatment according to the modified LMB 96 protocol. The minimum follow-up period was 5years. Assessments for toxicity and quality of life were conducted at regular intervals during and after treatment. Patients were assessed for toxicity including pulmonary dysfunction, cardiac dysfunction, lipid profile abnormalities, endocrine dysfunction (thyroid function, vitamin D levels, growth curves), and cognitive function (intelligence quotient [IQ] level using Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scales-5th Edition, and quality of life (QoL) assessment (PedsQoL). A total of 273 patients were eligible, and 206 were evaluable. Median age was 5.45 (range: 2.4-18), with a male-to-female ratio 4:1. Pulmonary function abnormalities were detected in 119/203 (58.6%); most had mild dysfunction (72/119, 60.5%), while 17% had severe dysfunction. Cardiac toxicity occurred in 10% of the patients (n=20). IQ testing showed that 52 patients had a low average IQ score, while 151 patients had either average or above average scores. The total mean QoL score was 99±0.058 classified as "satisfactory." However, significant impairment of the physical domain of quality of life was observed among group C patients compared to A/B (p=.033), older age at diagnosis (p=.042), and those with pulmonary dysfunction (p<.001). Total score of quality of life was significantly impaired among patients with pulmonary dysfunction (p=.009), likewise older age at diagnosis (p=.017) and those with low average IQ scores (p=.033). Childhood mature B-NHL survivors are at significant risk for late effects; pulmonary dysfunction and low average IQ that can subsequently impact QoL.

Quality of Life in Patients Living with Andro-gentic Alopecia: A Cross Sectional Observational Study

Alopecia is a chronic dermatological disorder in which people lose some or all of the hair on their head and sometimes on their body as well. It is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects the hair follicles. It is neither life threatening nor painful, though there can be irritation of the skin, as well as physical problems resulting from the loss of eyelashes and eyebrows.This study aim to improve the quality of life and prescription pattern in androgenic alopecia. The goal of the study was to assess the quality of life of subjects living androgenic alopecia and to assess the prescription pattern of subjects with androgenic alopecia.This was a cross sectional observational study. The study was conducted Outpatient department of Dermatology in ESI MC PGIMSR, Rajajinagar. All the subjects (n=36) meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria were briefed about the purpose of the study and the informed consent was obtained. The subject’s demographic details and responses were collected with the help of a standardized questionnaire. The collected data were entered in Microsoft Excel and appropriate descriptive analysis was performed. It was observed that a majority of the subjects were prescribed with minoxidil 5% (58.33%). On comparing the QOL scores, in each domain it was found that emotion has the highest average while the function has lowest average. scores in subjects of different age groups, it was found that the subjects belonging to the age groups 26-35 groups had high average scores (32.84%) and 36-45 groups had low average scores (28.96%).From this study, we got to know that the quality of life of male gender is affected more rather than female. Minoxidil 5% was most commonly prescribed drug and overall dosage form prescribed were topical agent.

Application of Kahoot Online Media to Critical Thinking in Mathematics for Grade V Students of SDN 1 Tambahrejo

The aim of this research is to determine the influence of the online media Kahoot on the average results of critical thinking scores in mathematics for class V students. Mathematics is the main subject introduced at the elementary, middle and high school levels. This is different from conditions in the field where mathematics is a fear for students because they think that this subject is difficult. This is proven by the low average scores obtained by students. Students sometimes don't focus on working on questions and get bored quickly because they deliver material that seems monotonous. This assistance in mathematics subjects, especially critical thinking skills, was experienced by fifth grade students at SDN 1 Tambahrejo. The type of research is quantitative Pre Experimental in a One Group Pretest Posttest design. Data collection uses several techniques, namely observation, interviews, documentation and tests. In this research, the sample used was 19 fifth grade students at SD N 1 Addahrejo. The results of this research show that the average value of the pretest data is 41.37, while the average posttest value shows a result of 80.58. Based on this data, students experienced an increase in the average value of 39.21. Based on the presentation of the results of the data obtained, it shows that there is an influence, namely the difference in the average value of critical thinking in mathematics for class V students through the use of the online media Kahoot.

Pengaruh Kemampuan Intelektual, Emosional dan Spiritual terhadap Hasil Belajar PAI Siswa di SDN 15 Sutijo

This research was motivated by the relatively limited understanding of students in grades 3, 4 and 5 at SDN 15 Sutijo regarding PAI material. Many students have not demonstrated attitudes and behavior that reflect religious teachings well. Then, most students experience difficulties in achieving the expected competency standards in Islamic Religious Education subjects, including from the emotional and spiritual aspects of students. Many students lack motivation and feel anxious during the learning process, which has a negative impact on learning outcomes. Then some students also show apathy and lack motivation in taking religious lessons. This can be seen from the low average test scores and the results of observations of student interactions in class. So this research aims to determine the influence of IQ, EQ and SQ on students' PAI learning outcomes. This type of research is quantitative correlation. The population was 30 students and the sample used a total sampling technique. Data was collected through questionnaires and documentation and analyzed using simple and multiple linear regression tests. The research results show that IQ, EQ and S1 influence students' PAI learning outcomes. IQ has an effect of 14.4%, EQ of 14.3%, SQ of 27.2%. Then IQ, EQ and SQ together also influence students' PAI learning outcomes, namely 27.4% and the rest is influenced by other factors not examined in this research.

Determination of Physical Fitness Index (PFI) among Female College Students

Physical fitness/cardiovascular fitness is considered as the best reflection of whole-body health. It can be maintained by improving the physical fitness/cardiovascular fitness levels of individuals. The current study attempted to analyze the physical fitness index (PFI) of female college students by using the Harvard step test. A cross-sectional research was conducted from June 2021 to January 2022. Non-probability convenient sampling technique was employed to choose a sample of 340 students based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data was collected from Government Degree College for Women, Government Post-Graduate College for Women, and Apex College Sialkot, Pakistan. The data was entered and analyzed through SPSS. PFI scores showed students who had excellent and good scores, for instance 13 (3.8%) and 39 (11.5%), respectively. High average and low average scores were 172 (50.6%) and 62 (18.2%), respectively. Students who had poor scores were 54 (15.9%). The mean PFI was 66.91± 11.23, respectively. The association of PFI with BMI showed spearman correlation value as 0.136 with p-value &lt; 0.05. The findings showed that most of the female college students had average to low PFI.

Evaluation of information accuracy and clarity: ChatGPT responses to the most frequently asked questions about premature ejaculation.

Premature ejaculation (PE) is the most prevalent sexual dysfunction in men, and like many diseases and conditions, patients use Internet sources like ChatGPT, which is a popular artificial intelligence-based language model, for queries about this andrological disorder. The objective of this research was to evaluate the quality, readability, and understanding of texts produced by ChatGPT in response to frequently requested inquiries on PE. In this study we used Google Trends to identify the most frequently searched phrases related to PE. Subsequently, the discovered keywords were methodically entered into ChatGPT, and the resulting replies were assessed for quality using the Ensuring Quality Information for Patients (EQIP) program. The produced texts were assessed for readability using the Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level (FKGL), Flesch Reading Ease Score (FRES), and DISCERN metrics. This investigation has identified substantial concerns about the quality of texts produced by ChatGPT, highlighting severe problems with reading and understanding. The mean EQIP score for the texts was determined to be 45.93 ± 4.34, while the FRES was 15.8 ± 8.73. Additionally, the FKGL score was computed to be 15.68 ± 1.67 and the DISCERN score was 38.1 ± 3.78. The comparatively low average EQIP and DISCERN scores suggest that improvements are required to increase the quality and dependability of the presented information. In addition, the FKGL scores indicate a significant degree of linguistic intricacy, requiring a level of knowledge comparable to about 14 to 15years of formal schooling in order to understand. The texts about treatment, which are the most frequently searched items, are more difficult to understand compared to other texts about other categories. The results of this research suggest that compared to texts on other topics the PE texts produced by ChatGPT exhibit a higher degree of complexity, which exceeds the recommended reading threshold for effective health communication. Currently, ChatGPT is cannot be considered a substitute for comprehensive medical consultations. This study is to our knowledge the first reported research investigating the quality and comprehensibility of information generated by ChatGPT in relation to frequently requested queries about PE. The main limitation is that the investigation included only the first 25 popular keywords in English. ChatGPT is incapable of replacing the need for thorough medical consultations.

KEMAMPUAN MENYIMAK BERITA DENGAN MENGGUNAKAN MEDIA AUDIOVISUAL SISWA

This research was motivated by a problem, namely the low ability to listen to the news of grade VII students, there are still students underestimating listening learning, subject teachers rarely use audiovisual media when listening learning. The purpose of this study is to describe the ability to listen to news using audiovisual media of grade VII students at SMP Negeri 1 Ulususua Learning Year 2022/2023. The population and sample of this study were all grade X students of SMK Negeri 1 Toma totaling 23 people. The result of this study is that all grade VII students Learning Year obtained an average score of 75.25 with the category of quite good in listening to news texts, thus in the ranks of aspects in listening to the news obtained low average scores such as in what aspect, whose aspect, which aspect, when aspect, why aspect, what aspect. The suggestion of this study is (a) Students should improve the habit of listening to the news, because this habit can be started by listening to the news, listening to a movie, or listening to news about events at school. (b) For Indonesian teachers: Teachers who teach Indonesian subjects are expected to provide knowledge about listening to news to students clearly and completely.

Development of Mobile Learning Teaching Materials on Opportunities to Improve Students' Mathematical Communication Skills in Vocational High Schools

Another fact that was discovered was the low average daily mathematics test scores in one of the State Vocational Schools. This fact influences mathematics learning and the greatest difficulty is carrying out mathematical communication and problem solving on the questions given. The following is the average value of daily tests on Opportunity material for the last three years at SMKN. To respond to the problem of students' low mathematical communication skills, the enormous demand for progress in science and technology, it is very necessary to make changes to the learning process, especially the selection of appropriate mathematics teaching materials. One example is developing an Android-based teaching material or mobile learning. The use of smartphones in learning allows students to carry out learning activities by accessing learning materials, directions and information anywhere and at any time without limited space and time. Mobile Learning also overcomes time constraints and is able to train students to learn independently from various sources. Students whose learning received procedural scaffolding with the help of smartphones were better than students who received conventional learning. This mobile learning teaching material is said to be effective based on student response questionnaire data and mathematical communication test results data obtained. The results of the student response questionnaire obtained a percentage of 95% with the criteria of being very effective for use in learning. Meanwhile, the percentage of learning completion results was 98% with a very high learning completion interval. The use of mobile learning teaching materials has an influence on students' mathematical communication skills. The average score of the experimental class students' mathematical communication ability test results in each school was higher than the control class. The average score for the experimental class at SMKN 1 Rejotangan was 85.00 while the average score for the control class was 76.15. The average score for the experimental class at SMKN 1 Boyolangu was 85.64, while the average score for the control class was 78.62. The average score for the experimental class at SMKN 2 Tulungagung was 82.79 while the average score for the control class was 75.99. After comparison and analysis, it was concluded that there was a difference in the test results of students' mathematical communication skills between the classes given the action and the control class.

발달장애 및 언어청각장애인 대상 장애유형 맞춤형 설문지 그림 상징 인식 타당도 연구

Background and Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the validity of picture symbols included in a questionnaire developed for the survey of needs and satisfaction at the G Lifelong Education Center for People with Disabilities in 2021, considering the characteristics of disabilities. Methods: A survey on the iconicity and comprehensibility of picture symbols included in the questionnaire was conducted on 38 adults with developmental disabilities, 32 adults with language-hearing impairments, and 27 professionals working in related institutions. Two experts were consulted to assess the suitability of the questionnaire based on the Easy-to-read guidelines. Results: For individuals with developmental disabilities, overall accuracy in tasks related to iconicity was low, while comprehension of symbolic representation was high. In contrast, individuals with language-hearing impairments generally showed low comprehension of symbols, and symbols that exhibited low average accuracy in iconicity testing also showed low average scores in comprehension tests. The analysis of symbol comprehension in professionals working in related institutions was similar to that of individuals with language-hearing impairments but differed from those with developmental disabilities. Conclusion: The results of this study indicate differences in the ability to infer the meaning of symbols included in the questionnaire based on the type of disability. Furthermore, it was anticipated that by incorporating feedback from experts based on Easy-to-read guidelines to modify and improve the questionnaire, a more tailored questionnaire for different types of disabilities could be developed to better serve its intended purpose.

Factors of parental investment in the home language environment in peri-urban China: A mixed methods study.

The home language environment is a critical point of investment in early language skills. However, few studies have quantitatively measured the home language environment of low-socioeconomic-status households in non-western settings. This mixed methods study describes the home language environment and early child language skills among households in a low-socioeconomic-status, peri-urban district of Chengdu, China, and identifies factors influencing parental investment in the home language environment. Audio recordings were collected from 81 peri-urban households with children ages 18-24 months and analysed using the Language Environment Analysis (LENATM) system. The Mandarin version of the MacArthur-Bates Communicative Development Inventory was administered to each child's primary caregiver. The quantitative results revealed large variation in home language environments and child language skills among the sample, with relatively low average scores when compared to other Chinese samples. Qualitative interviews with a subset of 31 caregivers revealed that many caregivers face constraints on their knowledge of interactive parenting, compounded, in some households, by time constraints due to work or household responsibilities. The findings indicate a need for increased sources of credible parenting information for peri-urban caregivers of young children to promote investment in the home language environment.

Barriers to Safe Oxygen Therapy and the Effect of the Training on the Knowledge and Performance of ICU Nurses.

Proper oxygen therapy is crucial in hospitals, particularly intensive care units, to ensure safety and accuracy. The role of nurses during oxygen therapy is vital, as their knowledge and correct performance significantly impact patients' clinical conditions. A study was carried out to examine the knowledge and performance of nurses regarding safe oxygen therapy. The study aimed to identify the obstacles hindering safe oxygen therapy and assess the impact of training on the knowledge and performance of intensive care nurses. This study was conducted among the ICU nurses at Shahid Rahnemoun Teaching Hospital in Yazd, Iran. The study method is a sequential combination of descriptive, qualitative, and educational phases. The first stage involved examining the knowledge and performance of 80 ICU nurses in oxygen therapy. The study employed content analysis to elaborate on participants' perspectives on safe oxygen therapy challenges and potential solutions. The third phase involved a two-group study with pre- and post-tests to examine the effect of training on ICU nurses' knowledge and performance in oxygen therapy. The study found that intervention and control groups had low average scores in knowledge, performance, and total score of oxygen therapy before the study, with no significant difference. There was a significant difference between intervention and control groups one and three months after the intervention in the areas of knowledge (after-1 month 24.41 vs. 20.29, 95% CI [3.144-5.098], after-3 month 22.13 vs. 20.24, 95% CI [0.729-3.053]), performance (after-1 month 21.54 vs. 18.05, 95% CI [2.898-4.073], after-3 month 19.74 vs. 18.63, 95% CI [0.400-1.824]), and total score of oxygen therapy (after-1 month 45.95 vs. 38.34, 95% CI [6.288-8.925], after-3 month 41.87 vs. 38.87, 95% CI [1.394-4.613]). The study's findings revealed that nurses in ICUs lack the appropriate knowledge and performance in oxygen therapy. A lack of knowledge and correct practice, insufficient monitoring of oxygen therapy, and defects in hospital equipment are contributing factors. The training was found to improve the knowledge and performance of nurses significantly. Consistent training at shorter intervals is suggested for nurses to keep their knowledge current.

58 Emotional Functioning in Long COVID Neuropsychological Evaluations: Comparison to Post-Concussion Syndrome Using the Personality Assessment Inventory

Objective:COVID-19 has significantly impacted society for over 2.5 years, and Long COVID is concerning for its long-term impact on the healthcare system. Further, cognitive and emotional functioning in Long COVID has limited research, but 2 recent studies (Whiteside et al., 2022a, Whiteside et al., 2022b) examined cognitive and emotional functioning in Long COVID patients approximately 6 months post-diagnosis. The studies found limited cognitive deficits, but significant depression and anxiety, which in turn were the best predictors of low average cognitive scores. Further, the mean Personality Assessment Inventory (PAI) profile included highest mean elevations on somatic preoccupation (SOM) and depression (DEP) subscales. To further explore personality functioning in Long COVID, this study compared PAI profiles of Long COVID patients with a potentially similar group with post-concussion syndrome (PCS) which has been shown to have a strong psychological component.Participants and Methods:Participants included 44 consecutive outpatients (Mean age = 47.89, SD = 13.05, 84% Female, 75% Caucasian) referred from a Long COVID clinic with cognitive complaints related to COVID, while the comparison group of PCS patients included 50 consecutive referrals (Mean age = 38.82, SD = 16.24, 52% Female, 90% Caucasian) related to cognitive complaints attributed to PCS. A series of t-tests between the 2 groups was conducted on the PAI validity, clinical, interpersonal, and treatment consideration scales. PAI clinical subscales were also compared. To control for multiple comparisons, p &lt; .01 was utilized and effect sizes were compared.Results:The results demonstrated that both Long COVID (SOM M = 68.66, SD = 12.56; DEP M = 63.39, SD = 12.70) and PCS groups (SOM M = 65.28, SD = 12.06; DEP M = 70.32, SD = 16.15) displayed the highest mean elevations on PAI SOM and DEP scales but no statistically significant differences in mean scale elevations between Long COVID and PCS groups on SOM (t [92] = 1.33, p = .80) and DEP (t [92] = -2.11, p = .097). However, results demonstrated statistically significant differences on the paranoia subscale (PAR; t [92] = -3.27, p = .009), antisocial features subscale (ANT; t [92] = -2.22, p = .01), stress subscale (STR; t [90] = -3.51, p = .006) and suicidal ideation subscale (SUI; t [92] = -2.73, p = .000) of the PAI. Specifically, the mean scores for the PCS group were higher across the paranoia (M = 57.30), antisocial features (M= 52.24), stress (M = 58.44), and suicidal ideation subscales (M = 57.82) of the PAI than the Long COVID group. While these patterns of reporting differed between groups, mean scores for both groups were in the normal range.Conclusions:Results support the similarities in emotional/personality functioning across Long COVID and PCS patients and the importance of evaluating psychological functioning in these samples as a standard part of neuropsychological evaluations. Further, the results suggest that psychological treatment strategies utilized with PCS patients may be helpful for Long COVID patients, but more research is needed.

Air Pollution Burden and Three Population Health Indicators in 58 Counties Comprising the State of California, USA

Air pollution is a major risk factor in human health causing premature death disease and ranks fifth among the top five leading causes of death worldwide. In California, air pollution attracts significant attention due to increased pollution from fossil fuel burning, industry, transportation, and the state’s drought record and fire-proneness. Data used in this analysis was obtained from the CalEnviroScreen pollution monitoring tool. There is significant variation in air pollution across counties and racial groups. Hispanic populations, followed by Caucasians, predominantly occupy areas with the highest pollution levels above 40%. Most counties had low average scores in population parameters that determine population health. Pollution burden predicted asthma and CVD prevalence but not low-birth-weight babies. Asthma was closely associated with traffic density, PM2.5, cleanup sites, and ozone levels; low-birth-weight babies were associated with traffic density and release of toxic substances; and CVD was associated with PM2.5, toxic release, and cleanup sites. Low HPI scores (&lt;40%) were associated with incidences of asthma and CVD but not low-birth-weight babies. The increased population health compromises in California caused by the effects of air pollution call for a paradigm shift in the way population health is evaluated and effects of air pollution mitigated.

Workshop for Basic Gynaecological Examinations: Improving Medical Student Learning through Clinical Simulation.

This study was designed to evaluate whether the Workshop on Basic Principles for Clinical Gynaecological Exploration, offered to medical students, improves theoretical-practical knowledge, safety, confidence, global satisfaction and the achievement of the proposed objectives in the area of gynaecological clinical examinations. This was a quasi-experimental pre-post-learning study carried out at the Gynaecology and Obstetrics department of Gregorio Marañón Hospital in Madrid (Spain). The volunteer participants were 4th-year students earning a degree in Medicine during the 2020-2021 and 2021-2022 academic years. The study period was divided into the following stages: pre-workshop, intra-workshop and 2 weeks post-workshop. In the pre-workshop stage, students completed a brief online course to prepare for the workshop. The effectiveness of the workshop was evaluated through multiple-choice tests and self-administered questionnaires to assess self-assurance, self-confidence, self-satisfaction and the achievement of the objectives. Of the 277 students invited in both academic years, 256 attended the workshop (92.4%), with a total participation in the different stages of the study greater than 70%. A total of 82.5% of the students in the 2020-2021 academic year and 80.6% of students in the 2021-2022 academic year did not have any type of experience performing gynaecological clinical examinations. Between the pre-workshop and 2 weeks post-workshop stages, there was significant improvement in theoretical-practical knowledge (improvement mean = 1.38 and 1.21 in 2020-2021 and 2021-2022 academic years, respectively). The security and confidence of the students prior to the workshop were low (average scores less than 5 points) in both academic years. However, post-workshop scores for satisfaction and the achievement of objectives were high in the two academic years; all the values approached or exceeded 8 points. Our students, after outstanding participation, evaluated the BPCGE, and improved their theoretical and practical knowledge, as well as their skills in a gynaecological clinical examination. Moreover, in their view, after the workshop, they felt very satisfied, far outreaching the proposed aims. In addition, excellent results were maintained over time, year after year.

Associations of Food Addiction Symptomatology and Disordered Eating Behaviors in a Pre-Surgical Bariatric Population.

The construct of food addiction (FA) has been highly debated in recent years particularly in the fields of disordered eating, medical weight management, and bariatric surgery. Some researchers have argued that FA symptoms are distinct, highly prevalent, and present a barrier for patients seeking medical treatment for obesity. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the cross-sectional associations between FA symptomatology, binge eating disorder (BED) and other appetitive traits, as well as dietary quality in a sample of adults with obesity seeking bariatric surgery. This post hoc analysis was conducted on a prospectively collected dataset from August 2020 to August 2022 at a single academic medical center. Descriptive statistics were used to characterize the sample. Additional analyses included: correlation coefficients, multivariable linear regression, and analysis of variance. A total of 587 patients were included in this analysis with low average scores for FA symptoms (mean: 1.48; standard deviation (SD): 2.15). Those with no BED symptoms had the lowest average FA symptoms scores (mean: 0.87; SD: 1.52) and those with both bingeing and LOCE had the highest average scores (mean: 3.35; SD: 2.81). This finding supports the hypothesis that, while related, FA and BED may represent different cognitions and behaviors.

Analysis of School-Based Management and Principal Leadership in Improving Teacher Performance

This article discusses the general problem of low teacher performance in many schools in Indonesia, which can be seen from the school's consistently low qualitative average scores. The main goal of this article is to evaluate potential solutions to improve teacher effectiveness. The focus centers on two important aspects: the implementation of School Based Management (SBM) and the leadership style of the school principal. Identified challenges hindering teacher performance, including poor adaptation, lack of communication skills, and lack of openness to diverse opinions, will be examined. By using a descriptive analysis method with a qualitative approach, the author provides recommendations. The results of this article involve the implementation of a comprehensive principal leadership model that integrates visionary, democratic, and instructional elements, emphasizing support, collaboration, and commitment to ongoing professional development and motivation. The proposed model is expected to significantly improve teacher performance in schools in Indonesia.

Tourist satisfaction with services of tourism in the Pcinja district

The Pcinja District is located in the southeast of Serbia and represents an area with natural and anthropogenic tourist attractions as the basis of the tourist offer of the destination itself. However, in addition to tourist attractions and tourist infrastructure and superstructure as elements of tourist valorisation of the destination, the tourist staff is also a significant and indispensable factor of the tourist affirmation of the area. Tourism employees affect the entire tourist offer and thus affect the tourist traffic in the destination by virtue of how they operate, improve and conduct their business with the tourists. The aim of this paper is to present the degree of tourist satisfaction with the services of tourism employees during their stay in the Pcinja District. The degree of tourist satisfaction was determined by empirical research conducted in the area of the district in the second half of 2021, in which 526 respondents/tourists participated. The results were analysed using the IBM SPSS Statistic 20 software package. Partial (dis)satisfaction of respondents/tourists with the elements of tourist infrastructure and superstructure, as well as with the services of tourism employees, is shown by the obtained relatively low average scores of the analyzed variables. Using the T-test and ANOVA, it was concluded that the degree of (dis)satisfaction of tourists does not statistically significantly differ according to gender and age, that is, they generally have a uniform attitude when it comes to the development of the tourist infrastructure and superstructure and the features of the services of tourism employees in the Pcinj? District.
