"Reablement in Flanders: An exploration of the Flemish context. Understanding stakeholders' perspectives."

Background: The primary care sector in Flanders, Belgium, is undergoing an intense period of reform. To incorporate health, well-being and quality of life, care is shifting from acute disease-oriented care to chronic integrated care. There is a need to reform primary care services more directed to community-based service, targeting person-centered care and self-management of people who receive home care and their systems.
 Reablement is an approach or service model that can be described as a multidisciplinary short term intervention aimed at maintaining and optimizing functional ability and independence of people who receive home care and to promote participation in the local community. The effectiveness of reablement has been researched to a gold standard in different countries worldwide. Results show cost savings, reduced readmission to hospital and to nursing homes as well as increased satisfaction for the professionals and for the people receiving home care. 
 Aim: The purpose of this study is to understand the stakeholder’s perspective on factors that might contribute to a successful and sustainable implementation of reablement in Flanders and factors seen as challenges to deploy this service. By understanding these perspectives, inferences can be made as to whether reablement in Flanders is desirable and feasible.
 Methods: To perform a context analysis, five focus group interviews were conducted with 35 stakeholders in primary care: patient associations, professional caregivers, health insurance funds, researchers, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, social workers and managers. The focus group interviews were transcribed and an hermeneutical analysis was conducted.
 Results: The analysis resulted in two main themes: facilitators and challenges for the implementation of reablement in Flanders.
 Facilitators are: the conviction that multidisciplinary collaboration will be more effective, shared decision making and planning will be encouraged, self management, person centered care, goal oriented and context oriented care will be optimized, continuity of integrated healthcare will be facilitated and the experience of informal caregivers will be better incorporated.
 Challenges are: lack of a clear definition of reablement in Dutch, people must be intrinsically motivated, the service must be financially and organizationally accessible to all, this approach requires a mindset shift of the healthcare professional, an efficient common communication system is essential and consultation must be financially supported for each person and healthcare professional involved in the service.
 
 In general, the goal and the added value of reablement were recognized by everyone as self-evident, but implementation of this service in the current healthcare system in Flanders requires an organizational shift from a supply driven to a demand driven care, a framework for multidisciplinary integrated cooperation and financial support, and sufficient time for both the people who receive home care and the health care professionals. 
 This is the first study involving stakeholders in primary care in Flanders looking at the chances for reablement. Working with primary care providers we now aim to conduct Reable-Labs in different primary care settings in order to provide real life examples and experiences of reablement and its outcomes in the Flemish sector.

“I established a life; I can re-establish it again”: Lived experiences of intimate partner violence in Mongolia

Violence against women persists globally, transcending intersecting backgrounds, such as race, gender, socio-economic status, education, and ableness. The reality remains that women across diverse intersections continue to endure various forms of violence. According to a nationwide study, 30 % of women experience intimate partner violence during their lifetime in Mongolia. The present research adopts an intersectional lens to comprehensively address the survival experiences of Mongolian women who had lived through intimate partner violence. In-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted with 21 participants recruited through purposive sampling, most of whom had ended a relationship involving intimate partner violence. Thematic analysis was used to identify patterns and themes among survival experiences. Although women's experiences varied, intimate partner violence confronted them with the dilemma of maintaining or going against traditional values, including family unity when seeking protection (and safety) for themselves and their children. The women's survival experiences included a combination of building a sense of community and rebuilding a sense of self, while self-contentment was achieved when the women ceased to blame themselves. This study highlights a critical shift in mindset and behavior by investigating the survival experiences of women who defy social norms, prioritizing family unity over personal well-being. Recognition of survivors' efforts to cease self-blame and seek support signifies a crucial advancement in the survival process. The findings suggest a positive trend toward self-empowerment and a willingness to access the necessary resources and support systems. From a practical standpoint, these findings advocate for strengthening current interventions that empower survivors to challenge norms, cease self-blame, and actively seek assistance.

Dual Role of Clinician Managers in Healthcare - Challenges and Opportunities

Background: Clinician managers can play a crucial role in healthcare organizations, including hospitals, by combining their clinical expertise with managerial responsibilities. They bring valuable insights and firsthand experience of patient care to managerial positions, contributing to improved patient outcomes and hospital performance. However, they face unique challenges that require careful attention and solutions. Aim: This review aims to critically discuss the role of clinicians as managers, the challenges that they face, and how they exercise their influence in hospital settings. Key findings: The role of clinicians as managers is critical for effective leadership and delivery of high-quality patient care. Described as a two-way window, clinician managers bridge the gap between medicine and management by combining clinical expertise with managerial skills in a hybrid leadership approach. Studies have shown a positive impact on hospital performance, including enhanced quality care, improved patient outcomes, and potentially better financial performance. In addition, they play a vital role in fostering interdisciplinary collaboration and boosting staff engagement. However, challenges such as identity conflicts, and limited formal training, are present, especially for first-time managers. Conclusion: Adapting to the dual role of clinician and manager demands a mindset shift and the development of new skills, necessitating strategic support. This includes leadership education, organizational support, mentoring, and collaborative models to empower clinician managers. Targeted training programs, formal mentoring, and peer support networks equip them with essential skills, while workload management, well-being initiatives, and a culture of balance foster success and growth.

STAR: A session-based time-aware recommender system

Session-Based Recommenders (SBRs) are designed to predict users’ next actions based on their previous interactions within a session, without access to historical information about users. Modern SBRs leverage deep neural networks to capture users’ current interests and map them to a latent space, enabling prediction of their next preference. While state-of-the-art SBR models achieve satisfactory results, they often overlook the temporal details of events within sessions, focusing instead on the sequence of events. To address this limitation, we propose the STAR framework, which incorporates session temporal information to enhance the performance of SBRs. By incorporating time intervals between events within sessions, we construct more informative representations for both items and sessions. Our mechanism revises session representation by embedding time intervals without using discretization. Empirical results on the Yoochoose and Diginetica datasets demonstrate that our proposed method outperforms state-of-the-art baseline models in Recall and MRR criteria. Our approach highlights the potential of session temporal information in enhancing the performance of SBRs by capturing the momentary interests of anonymous users and their mindset shifts during sessions.

Identifying mindsets for urban sustainability transformation: insights from Urban Labs

AbstractIncreasing calls for transformation to address climate change and related challenges underscore the societal imperative to shift from mindsets that drive environmentally unsustainable and socially unjust processes to mindsets that enable urban sustainability transformations. However, it is not always clear what such mindsets comprise, if and how they can be shifted and under which conditions. Fragmented understandings of the concept of mindsets across disciplines and limited empirical analysis beyond Europe and North America have hindered progress in this field. To address these gaps, this article proposes a novel conceptual and analytical framework for identifying mindsets. The framework is applied to data collected from an exploratory survey involving over 150 participants from five Urban Labs in Argentina, Brazil and Mexico. Through cluster analysis, three distinct personas are identified: the Skeptical Activist, the Optimist Technocrat and the Bystander with Mixed Feelings. These are fictional characters that represent groups of individuals with defining mindsets, demographic characteristics, capacities, trust levels and network features. Results offer valuable insights into the emotions, beliefs, values, perceptions, attitudes and worldviews that guide the behavior of diverse stakeholders, from policymakers to often marginalized community groups, in urban climate governance. Despite its limitations, namely the relative homogeneity of our non-randomized sample, the article advances the understanding of the human dimension of climate change and its interlinkages with urban development goals. It also proposes social innovation strategies to trigger mindset shifts, foster climate action and accelerate urban sustainability transformations.

Increasing Students' Growth Mindset and Learning Perception by Allowing Online Revision and Resubmission in a Community College

Although improving students' learning is a universal objective, assessment and evaluation of learning differ among academic institutions and scholars. Instead of focusing on traditional measures of what the instructor or institution consider improvement or success, this study measured students' mindset shifts and perception of online formative assessments that allow multiple revisions and resubmissions. Using various questionnaires to measure perception and mindset, the findings showed that, allowing students to revise assignments: 1) yielded a student perception of improved learning, 2) prompted students to review the material prior to resubmission, and 3) increased growth mindset of students who initially had a fixed mindset. While this treatment helped shift the mindset of students with fixed mindset towards a growth mindset, it did not have a similar impact on students who already had a growth mindset prior to the treatment. Future iterations of the study will aim to identify reasons why students are not impacted the in same way and explore other methods that can increase confidence and growth mindset for everyone.

Assessing the Contribution of Women-Led NGOs to Gender Equality and Empowerment in Kenya: Challenges, Successes, and Future Prospects

The critical role of women-led Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) in advancing gender equality and empowerment in Kenya is undeniable, as they address issues like gender-based violence, educational disparities, and economic inequalities. This study reviewed the contributions of these NGOs in Kenya, focusing on their challenges, successes, and future prospects. It employed a systematic methodology, combining a positivist research philosophy with a desktop review design, to analyze existing literature and draw conclusions. The findings revealed that women-led NGOs have been instrumental in creating safe spaces for women, advocating for legal reforms, and implementing community-based programs for economic and social empowerment. These efforts have led to notable improvements in Kenyan women's lives, contributing to a gradual shift towards gender equality. However, the study also highlights significant challenges faced by these NGOs, including limited financial and human resources, societal and cultural barriers, and a fluctuating political and policy environment. Studies reviewed indicated the effectiveness of women-led Community-Based Rice Seed Entrepreneurship Models (CBRSEM) in enhancing women's skills and livelihoods, but also point out operational challenges such as high production costs and the need for agricultural tools. The study found that women's self-mobilization and movements in Kenya have shown to be vital in economic empowerment, evolving from informal associations to significant entities in agribusiness and NGOs. Moreover, educational programs have been effective in shaping adolescents' attitudes towards gender equality, suggesting the integration of gender studies in early education curricula. The study concludes that women-led NGOs in Kenya play a pivotal role in promoting gender equality, yet face persistent struggles with resource limitations and societal resistance. Their future success depends on sustainable funding, robust networks and collaborations, technological leverage, and societal mindset shifts towards gender-sensitive attitudes. Therefore, recommendations include increasing financial support, building robust networks, working towards changing societal norms, utilizing technology and social media, strengthening internal capacity, and engaging in policy advocacy.

Controversy on the Absolute Competency of Civil Courts in Investigating Unlawful Actions Committed by the Government In Indonesia

Objective: This research analyses the laws and regulations that apply to courts in adjudicating unlawful acts (torts) the Government commits. Methods: This research uses a socio-legal approach to prepare a normative juridical study complemented by an analysis of legal sociological theories. Conclusions: The research results show that, as stated in Supreme Court Circular Letter Number 4 of 2016, there has been a paradigm shift. After the enactment of Law Number 30 of 2014 concerning Government Administration, there has been a shift in mindset—authority to adjudicate unlawful acts (torts) committed by the Government against State Administration. However, in practice, citizens cannot fully obtain justice when resolving cases of illegal acts committed by the Government in the State Administrative Court. There are several reasons, such as special administrative requirements for the State Administrative Court, limits on compensation, authority to adjudicate, and limits on the power and implementation of decisions of the State Administrative Court (abbreviated as PTUN). These limitations force justice seekers to seek resolution through civil courts if the Government commits unlawful acts. The problem with resolving unlawful acts committed by the Government is how civil courts have absolute competence in adjudicating illegal acts. Unlawful acts committed by the Government can be actions that impact administrative matters or public affairs. Therefore, this unlawful act is tried in the state administrative court. Meanwhile, an unlawful act, namely a form of action that harms oneself, property, and the wealth of an individual or legal entity, is tried in civil court. Therefore, civil courts have absolute authority to try unlawful acts committed by the Government if the Government's actions impact the victim's civil case, such as personal losses, property, and wealth of citizens.

3D indoor modeling and game theory based navigation for pre and post COVID-19 situation.

The COVID-19 pandemic has greatly affected human behavior, creating a need for individuals to be more cautious about health and safety protocols. People are becoming more aware of their surroundings and the importance of minimizing the risk of exposure to potential sources of infection. This shift in mindset is particularly important in indoor environments, especially hospitals, where there is a greater risk of virus transmission. The implementation of route planning in these areas, aimed at minimizing interaction and exposure, is crucial for positively influencing individual behavior. Accurate maps of buildings help provide location-based services, prepare for emergencies, and manage infrastructural facilities. There aren't any maps available for most installations, and there are no proven techniques to categorize features within indoor areas to provide location-based services. During a pandemic like COVID-19, the direct connection between the masses is one of the significant preventive steps. Hospitals are the main stakeholders in managing such situations. This study presents a novel method to create an adaptive 3D model of an indoor space to be used for localization and routing purposes. The proposed method infuses LiDAR-based data-driven methodology with a Quantum Geographic Information System (QGIS) model-driven process using game theory. The game theory determines the object localization and optimal path for COVID-19 patients in a real-time scenario using Nash equilibrium. Using the proposed method, comprehensive simulations and model experiments were done using QGIS to identify an optimized route. Dijkstra algorithm is used to determine the path assessment score after obtaining several path plans using dynamic programming. Additionally, Game theory generates path ordering based on the custom scenarios and user preference in the input path. In comparison to other approaches, the suggested way can minimize time and avoid congestion. It is demonstrated that the suggested technique satisfies the actual technical requirements in real-time. As we look forward to the post-COVID era, the tactics and insights gained during the pandemic hold significant value. The techniques used to improve indoor navigation and reduce interpersonal contact within healthcare facilities can be applied to maintain a continued emphasis on safety, hygiene, and effective space management in the long term. The use of three-dimensional (3D) modeling and optimization methodologies in the long-term planning and design of indoor spaces promotes resilience and flexibility, encouraging the adoption of sustainable and safe practices that extend beyond the current pandemic.

Transition to Circular Economy in Practice Through Network Governance in Conjunction with Public Governance; Comparative Longitudinal Action Research on Mattresses, Concrete, and Textile in The Netherlands

This paper investigates the practical implementation of transitioning to a circular economy through network governance in conjunction with public governance. The research focuses on a comparative, longitudinal analysis of three Dutch product chains (mattresses, concrete, and textiles) from 2016 to the present. The study based on action research, utilizes documents, reports from all meetings, and personal observations. Drawing from the fields of public administration and transition management, the paper addresses two critical knowledge gaps. First, the paper contributes to the transition management literature by shedding light on how complex systemic changes, such as the transition from a linear to a circular economy, can be realized in practice. The cross-case analysis demonstrates that, even with the distinct characteristics of each case, the overall network governance approach exhibits significant similarities. These commonalities are synthesized into ten guiding principles for building a circular economy through network governance. These principles comprehensively integrate all aspects of transition management mentioned in the literature, creating a coherent framework. They provide transition management practitioners with a systematic approach for thinking, acting, and collaborating. Secondly, the paper offers insights into the interplay between network governance and public governance in real-world cases. The analysis demonstrates that network governance can significantly contribute to accelerating the transition to a circular economy. However, public governance continues to play a pivotal role, particularly during the scaling-up and mainstreaming phases of the transition. Implementing network governance is a learning experience, not only for the network partners but also in how they can collaborate with the government. Additionally, this process requires a shift in the government's mindset to embrace network governance as a complementary approach for governing complex transition processes. The network governance approach presented here can be further refined as additional practice-oriented studies are conducted in a broader range of countries.

Creating Whole Person Health Care Systems: Understanding Employee Perceptions of VAs Whole Health Cultural Transformation.

Objective: Whole person health care, like that being implemented in the U.S. Veterans Health Administration (VHA), involves person-centered approaches that address what matters most to patients to achieve well-being beyond the biomedical absence of disease. As whole health (WH) approaches expand, their integration into clinical practice is predicated on health care employees reconceptualizing practice beyond find-it-fix-it medicine and embracing WH as a new philosophy of care. This study examined employee perspectives of WH and their integration of this approach into care. Design: We conducted a survey with responses from 1073 clinical and 800 nonclinical employees at 5 VHA WH Flagship sites about their perceptions and use of a WH approach. We used descriptive statistics to examine employees' support for WH and conducted thematic analysis to qualitatively explore their perceptions about this approach from free-text comments supplied by 475 respondents. Results: On structured survey items, employees largely agreed that WH was a valuable approach but were relatively less likely to have incorporated it into practice or report support within their organization for WH. Qualitative comments revealed varying conceptualizations of WH. While some respondents understood that WH represented a philosophical shift in care, many characterized WH narrowly as services. These conceptualizations contributed to lower perceived relevance, skepticism, and misgivings that WH diverted needed resources away from existing clinical services. Organizational context including leadership messaging, siloed structures, and limited educational opportunities reinforced these perceptions. Conclusions: Successfully transforming the culture of care requires a shift in mindset among employees and leadership alike. Employees' depictions didn't always reflect WH as a person-centered approach designed to engage patients to enhance their health and well-being. Without consistent leadership messaging and accessible training, opportunities to expand understandings of WH are likely to be missed. To promote WH transformation, additional attention is needed for employees to embrace this approach to care.

Service learning via tourism volunteering at university: skill-transformation and SDGs alignment through rite of passage approach

PurposeThis study aims to investigate how university students experience a skill transformation process aligned with the sustainable development goals (SDGs). This transformation occurs through their participation in a service-learning programme alongside an international volunteering project. The theoretical framework for understanding this skill transformation process is based on the “rite of passage”.Design/methodology/approachQualitative methodology is adopted by conducting 23 online surveys with volunteers (virtual and onsite) and five with coordinators across the rite of passage phases. Volunteering was carried out in five Mayan indigenous communities in Mexico as part of an international cooperation project with the goals of supporting community-based tourism development and strengthening volunteers’ skills in accordance with the SDGs.FindingsResults show that international volunteering programmes for university students significantly enhance their interpersonal and professional skills, demonstrating strong potential for implementing the SDGs. These programmes provide learning and education opportunities for both volunteers and local communities. Volunteers gain a broader perspective on gender equality and cultural barriers. Additionally, volunteering supports sustainable tourism, economic worth and collaboration among institutions. Both volunteers’ personal characteristics (educational level and sociocultural context), as well as their sociocultural context, influenced the perception of the skill transformation process and learning about the SDGs. Finally, a new educational university programme in volunteering aligned with SDGs is proposed.Practical implicationsThis research examines the practical ramifications of incorporating volunteer programmes into university courses. Universities must include these initiatives in their educational systems as a means of enhancing student learning.Social implicationsA new educational university programme in volunteering aligned with SDGs is proposed. This study suggests a shift in university mindset, as well as increased funding for training and adherence to the SDGs.Originality/valueThis study pioneers the rite of passage framework in an international volunteer tourism project facilitated by universities, emphasizing volunteering as a valuable tool for SDG implementation, considering the interrelationships between objectives.

Working from Home vs. In-office post-COVID-19

The recent COVID-19 pandemic has swiftly and drastically transformed our daily lives, including our perception of working-from-home (WFH) practices. Even in a post-pandemic world, employees have shown an ardent desire to retain the benefits of the novel pandemic-induced remote work experience, which challenges managers to reintegrate them into the conventional office setting. This paper aims to assess the advantages and disadvantages of home and office work environments from the viewpoints of employees and employers to identify the optimal future scenario that maximises the benefits to all parties involved. Although our understanding of the optimal balance between remote and office work is limited, the future of work will involve a hybrid approach, combining remote and in-office work. The transition to such an arrangement demands time, creativity, trust, and various other factors from the parties. It also calls for serious mindset shifts and up/reskilling efforts. The review ends with a consideration of future scenarios and industry implications of adopting hybrid work.

Facing and challenging language ideologies towards a more inclusive understanding of language in mathematics education research—the case of sign languages

Research on language in mathematics education is largely dominated by a ‘normalcy’ of spoken languages. This modal hegemony does not only affect a whole group of learners in failing to provide access that is epistemologically equitable—those using sign language as their preferred mode for mathematical discourse—it also obscures our view on the roles language can play in mathematical thinking and learning. As a field, we can only win from seeking to understand Deaf learners of mathematics beyond a disability, as learners of mathematics with a specific linguistic background that influences mathematical thinking and learning in peculiar ways. In this contribution, I suggest a shift in mindset towards a more inclusive view on language in mathematics education research and practice. I propose basic principles to inform a perspective for reconsidering the role of language in mathematics thinking and learning, inspired by work of philosopher Francois Jullien. This perspective counters a perspective that merely integrates sign language into existing research and instead searches for dialogue between linguistic modalities in learning mathematics, looking beyond language as spoken or written. This approach will be illustrated by the case of the modal affordance of iconicity foregrounded in signed mathematical discourse, its role in Deaf students’ mathematics thinking and learning, and how this can inform existing research and practice dealing with language in mathematics education.

Can community land trust models work in Peru? Researching community-based land tenure models for affordable housing

Purpose In pursuit of affordable housing, the Sustainable Urban Development Act of 2021 contains regulations for community land trusts (CLTs) in Peru. This study aims to assess whether the CLT model can be an effective tool for low-income housing generation in the Peruvian context. Design/methodology/approach This study draws upon information collected from qualitative research and official statistical data to identify the main problems in the Peruvian housing sector. The authors gathered evidence from specialised literature to examine the benefits and drawbacks of CLT implementation and functionality as experienced in the USA, England and Canada in contrast to Puerto Rico and Brazil. To assess the potential effectiveness of the CLT model in Peru, the results from the examination of both groups of countries are analysed and contrasted with the evidence from the Peruvian experience. Findings Through micro-scale interventions in places with a consolidated sense of community, the CLT model can be an effective tool for affordable housing generation. However, no robust evidence suggests that the CLT model could be an effective tool for large-scale intervention in cities with disorganised and accelerated growth. Moreover, the level of housing affordability defined by the CLT model may be insufficient for people from the lowest-income percentiles. Originality/value Peruvian CLT adaptation will require a shift in individual property mind-sets. Furthermore, the model should be enhanced by governmental support through public subsidies and backed by mortgage loans and land grant programmes.

Agile Organisations - The Need for Agility

An organisation's ability to evolve for them to remain current in today's ever changing technological marketplace is paramount to the sustainability and viability of an organisation. Agility is perceived as a key attribute that aids an organisation in this endeavour. The concept of agile and agility has been around for a couple of decades now. Initially coming into existence through the Agile Manifesto, starting out as a predominantly technology focused paradigm. It has slowly but steadily moved into a mindset shift within projects and now more recently within organisations. The ability of an organisation to embrace agility and an agile mindset has been one of the core factors impacting the viability of an organisation and its place in the globalised marketplace.

성공사례기법을 적용한 경력단절여성 대상 커리어 코칭 사례연구

The purpose of this study is to explore the success stories of participants in a career coaching program designed for women who have experienced career interruptions. For this research, we conducted a case study by selecting successful examples among the coachees (participants) in the “Career Coaching Program for Women with Career Interruptions” held at the Saeil Center in Area G, Seoul. Interviews were conducted with three coachees, and the analysis identified their experiences before, during, and after coaching, as well as the factors contributing to the success of the coaching. Women with career interruptions initially joined the coaching program by chance, often accompanied by psychological unease. Through the coaching experience, they established a positive self-identity, underwent a mindset shift concerning work, and ultimately regained confidence in job-seeking activities. Furthermore, conversations with the coach helped them establish a sense of direction in their careers and take on new career challenges. The study confirmed that the coach's expertise, trust, and social support were instrumental in achieving successful coaching outcomes. Based on these findings, this study suggests implications for expanding career coaching programs that can assist women with career interruptions in re-entering the job market.
