Collaboration as a Value in Islamic Education from Learning from Corpse Management

This article examines collaboration as a core value in Islamic education, focusing on the partnership between two funeral organizations: the Muhammadiyah Branch Leadership Muslim Corpse Association (RKM PCM Palangkaraya) and the Shalahuddin Muslim Family Association (KKM Shalahuddin), which is affiliated with the University of Palangkaraya. The study utilizes a qualitative multi-case research approach to analyze the nature of cooperation, motivations, benefits, obstacles, and challenges in the kifayah process between the two families. Data collection methods included interviews with organizational administrators, observations of the kifayah process, and analysis of organizational charter documents and membership fees. The findings revealed a clear division of responsibilities: RKM PCM Palangkaraya oversees the rituals of washing and praying for the deceased, while KKM Shalahuddin provides equipment and coordinates the burial. This collaboration is vital for ensuring that the burial aligns with Islamic law, despite facing challenges such as communication barriers and funding limitations. The partnership enhances service delivery and nurtures mutual respect between the organizations. However, the lack of prior discussions regarding tahlil practices may create confusion about roles and responsibilities. The study underscores the importance of incorporating effective communication and mutual understanding into educational curricula, allowing students to grasp the values of cooperation and the principles of corpse management in Islam. This knowledge ultimately fosters character development and community skills, highlighting education's role in addressing societal needs within an Islamic framework. Future research is recommended to further investigate tahlil practices in this collaborative context to clarify the roles and responsibilities of each organization.

OTHR-04 PATIENT SATISIFACTION WITH NURSING CARE AMONG PEDIATRIC CANCER PATIENTS ATTENDING UGANDA CANCER INSTITUTE MULAGO KAMPALA UGANDA

Abstract PURPOSE To assess the level of patients’ satisfaction with nursing care among pediatric cancer patients attending Uganda Cancer Institute in order to improve the quality of oncology services provided by the nurses to the pediatric patients at UCI. INTRODUCTION Patient satisfaction is significant and usually used as an indicator for measuring the degree of excellence in health care. Patient satisfaction is the patient’s perception of care received compared with the care expected. A survey carried out by the Ministry of Health (MoH) in 2020 showed that more than half of the patients who visit Ugandan hospitals have to wait for more than an hour before they can see a health worker only to be told there’s no medicine or equipment to assist in their diagnosis. A number of studies have been conducted, however, there was little information on patients’ satisfaction with nursing care among pediatric cancer patients attending Uganda Cancer Institute and this left grey area for the researcher to conduct the study in this health facility. METHODS The study was done among sample size of fifty-six (56) respondents who were the caregivers of children between 0-17 years getting treatment at UCI. A cross sectional study design was used for this research, quantitative method of data collection using a questionnaire. RESULTS The study findings showed the respondents largely were satisfied with nursing care but problems of accessing clean water for drinking (52%), failure to give diagnostic talk (68%), no comfortable rooms for privacy (52%), nurse patient ratio at (63%) and nurses’ failure to give follow up calls (84%) were among the dissatisfactions. CONCLUSION The researcher concluded majority of respondents were satisfied with nursing care at UCI pediatrics nursing care. However, they expressed dissatisfactions in some crucial areas that need immediate attention of the hospital management.

"Lives and times": The case for qualitative longitudinal research in anatomical sciences education.

Qualitative longitudinal research (QLR) focuses on changes in perceptions, interpretations, or practices through time. Despite longstanding traditions in social science, QLR has only recently appeared in anatomical sciences education (ASE). While some existing methodology papers guide researchers, they take a narrow view of QLR and lack specificity for ASE. This discursive article aims to (1) describe what QLR is and its benefits, its philosophies, methodologies and methods, considerations, and quality indicators, and (2) critically discuss examples of QLR in ASE. Underpinned by relativist ontology and subjectivist epistemology, time can be understood as fluid/subjective or fixed/objective. QLR is a flexible, creative, and exploratory methodology, often associated with other methodologies. Sampling is typically purposive, with repeated and recursive data collection methods, and complex three-strand analyses (themes, cases, and time), enabling cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses. QLR involves ethical, relationship, analytical, dissemination, and funding considerations. Key quality indicators relate to qualitative research as well as temporal aspects. Most of the nine ASE papers reviewed explored changes in anatomy learners, but few labeled their methodology as QLR. Just under half described their sampling as purposive, most employed pre-planned and standardized repeated interviews, analyzed their data cross-sectionally, and utilized qualitative data analysis software. Most cited the confirmability and transferability of their studies, but few cited credibility and dependability elements. Study timeframes and tempos were generally clear, but details of longitudinal retention/attrition were often lacking, and longitudinal data analysis was not often conducted. We therefore provide recommendations for the conduct of QLR in ASE.

Arts-based analysis of conservation education field trips for young people to observe wild lemurs in Southern Madagascar.

Opportunities for young people to directly experience nature can have positive impacts on the individual, the social group and on society as a whole, through future increased conservation action. We developed a program which engaged young people from Fort Dauphin in a field trip to see wild animals at Nahampoana Reserve. Our aim in offering field trips to young people living in the city was to create a positive emotional opportunity to engage directly with nature with the ultimate goal of protecting lemurs and their habitat. In our analysis, we predicted that participants who completed a survey after a presentation and field trip (assessment post field trip) would recall more correct and detailed facts than those participants who completed their surveys after the presentation only (assessment pre field trip). Our program used a variety of arts-based data collection methods including an initial essay writing component on conservation of lemurs and drawing analysis of observed plants and animals. Our results show, in part, that (A) initial written essays by participants showed misperceptions about lemurs, (B) participants who had attended the field trip prior to drawing their favourite aspect of the reserve, produced more species-specific plant depictions, and (C) participants who were involved in a presentation, field trip, and final group discussion came up with four principles for protecting lemurs and their environment. Upon analysis after the study, we gained the additional insight of being able to evaluate our survey methods.

Examining Barriers to SME’s Access to finance: A Qualitative Review of Credit Guarantees in Malawi

The study examines the implementation of credit guarantees and how their barriers affect small and medium enterprises' (SMEs) access to finance in Malawi. The study reviews widely existing literature from academic research, policy frameworks, and reports from governmental and nongovernmental bodies. Additionally, the study uses primary data collection methods, in which interview and survey techniques are applied to cover the whole spectrum of stakeholders: SME owners, financial institutions, government functionaries, and development partners. This study uses a qualitative approach to examining how credit guarantees affect small businesses' ability to access capital and how well they do after it. Qualitative techniques include thematic coding of interview transcripts and policy documents, and quantitative techniques include using statistical tools. In so doing, the paper brings to light credit guarantees, which are essential in broadening the financial horizons of SMEs in Malawi. Major barriers to accessing finance include a lack of collateral, poor credit history, and exorbitant interest rates which become stumbling blocks for SMEs to secure loans from mainstream financial institutions. It further identifies the critical role of government policies and programs in supporting SMEs' financial inclusivity and offers measures to enhance credit guarantee mechanisms' effectiveness.

CONTACT: a non-randomised feasibility study of bluetooth-enabled wearables for contact tracing in UK care homes during the COVID-19 pandemic

BackgroundThe need for effective non-pharmaceutical infection prevention measures such as contact tracing in pandemics remains in care homes, but traditional approaches to contact tracing are not feasible in care homes. The CONTACT intervention introduces Bluetooth-enabled wearable devices (BLE wearables) as a potential solution for automated contact tracing. Using structured reports and reports triggered by positive COVID-19 cases in homes, we fed contact patterns and trends back to homes to support better-informed infection prevention decisions and reduce blanket application of restrictive measures. This paper reports on the evaluation of feasibility and acceptability of the intervention prior to a planned definitive cluster randomised trial of the CONTACT BLE wearable intervention.MethodsCONTACT was a non-randomised mixed-method feasibility study over 2 months in four English care homes. Recruitment was via care home research networks, with individual consent. Data collection methods included routine data from the devices, case report forms, qualitative interviews (with staff and residents), field observation of care, and an adapted version of the NoMaD survey instrument to explore implementation using Normalisation Process Theory. Quantitative data were analysed using descriptive statistical methods. Qualitative data were thematically analysed using a framework approach and Normalisation Process Theory. Intervention and study delivery were evaluated against predefined progression criteria.ResultsOf 156 eligible residents, 105 agreed to wear a device, with 102 (97%) starting the intervention. Of 225 eligible staff, 82% (n = 178) participated. Device loss and damage were significant: 11% of resident devices were lost or damaged, ~ 50% were replaced. Staff lost fewer devices, just 6%, but less than 10% were replaced. Fob wearables needed more battery changes than card-type devices (15% vs. 0%). Structured and reactive feedback was variably understood by homes but unlikely to be acted on. Researcher support for interpreting reports was valued. Homes found information useful when it confirmed rather than challenged preconceived contact patterns. Staff privacy concerns were a barrier to adoption. Study procedures added to existing work, making participation burdensome. Study participation benefits did not outweigh perceived burden and were amplified by the pandemic context. CONTACT did not meet its quantitative or qualitative progression criteria.ConclusionCONTACT found a large-scale definitive trial of BLE wearables for contact tracing and feedback-informed IPC in care homes unfeasible and unacceptable — at least in the context of shifting COVID-19 pandemic demands. Future research should co-design interventions and studies with care homes, focusing on successful intervention implementation as well as technical effectiveness.Trial registrationISRCTN registration: 11204126 registered 17/02/2021.

Beyond clean data: Exploring the effects of label noise on object detection performance

In recent years, the growth of large-scale datasets has significantly propelled the progress of deep learning applications. Yet, annotating these datasets remains a labor-intensive endeavor, pushing the reliance on cost-effective but less specialized data collection methods and internet data sources. This often results in noisy and inaccurate labels, compromising data quality. Traditional machine learning models assume clean data, but real-world datasets often exhibit significant label noise. This paper examines the impact of such noise on object detection performance, a pivotal aspect of computer vision. We analyze the influence of noisy labels using three renowned object detection frameworks: YOLOv5, Faster R-CNN, and the recent YOLOv8, alongside established datasets: MS COCO, VOC, and ExDARK. Additionally, experiments with the UVM dataset explore domain-specific tasks in dense object scenarios. Two new metrics — Model Health and Detection Capability — were introduced to evaluate the results. Findings indicate that models maintain over 80% of their health (a 20% decline in mAP from the baseline) with up to 40% label corruption. However, Detection Capability deteriorates more sharply under the same conditions. The research also employs the D-RISE method for model explainability, highlighting crucial image regions affecting detection outcomes. Despite the noise, critical detection areas in models remain similar to those in clean data up to the 40% corruption level, as verified by similarity metrics. This study underscores the resilience of object detection models to label noise and provides insights into maintaining performance amidst data quality challenges.

Human activity recognition using binary sensors: A systematic review

Human activity recognition (HAR) is an emerging area of study and research field that explores the development of automated systems to identify and categorize human activities using data collected from various sensors. In the field of Human Activity Recognition (HAR), binary sensors offer a distinct approach by providing simpler on/off readings to indicate the presence of events such as door openings or light switch activations. Compared to other sensors used for HAR, binary sensors have several advantages, including lower cost, low power consumption, ease of installation, and privacy preservation. For instance, they can be effectively used in smart homes to detect when someone enters or leaves a room without user input. This study presents a systematic review of the state-of-the-art methods and techniques for HAR using binary sensors. We comprehensively consider five crucial aspects: data collection methods, preprocessing techniques, feature extraction and fusion strategies, classification algorithms, and evaluation metrics. Furthermore, we identify the gaps and limitations of the existing studies and provide directions for future research. This comprehensive and up-to-date review can serve as a valuable reference for researchers and practitioners in the field of HAR using binary sensors.

Evaluating the impact of needs assessment models on autistic children's participation in the habilitation process: protocol for a prospective observational study.

The rising prevalence of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) among children poses significant challenges for healthcare services. Research has underscored the crucial role of children's involvement in their healthcare. However, due to the intricate nature of ASD, marked by communication and social interaction differences, healthcare providers face challenges in tailoring their services to accommodate these children. This project aims to explore the impact of two distinct needs assessment models on children's participation in the needs assessment process. We will conduct a prospective observational study comparing responses from children subjected to two different needs assessment procedures: survey-based and meeting-based. Supplementary data will be collected from the children's parents/guardians and healthcare professionals. Data collection methods will include questionnaires, interviews and document analysis of individual habilitation plans. We aim to recruit 120 children aged 7-17 diagnosed with ASD but without intellectual disability, with 60 undergoing the survey-based needs assessment and 60 undergoing the meeting-based assessment. The primary outcome measure will be the perception of participation in the needs assessment procedure. Secondary outcomes will include the children's quality of life and mental health; the parents' knowledge of their child's strengths, abilities and special needs; and the parents' perception of the quality of collaboration with the healthcare team. The study received ethics approval from the Swedish Ethical Review Authority on 4 March 2024 (reference number 2024-00227-01). All children and their caregivers will receive both verbal and written information about the study before being asked to provide written informed consent to participate. The findings will be disseminated through publication in peer-reviewed journals and presentation at conferences. Additionally, a popular science report summarising the data and its interpretation will be published. NCT06381856.
