A szociális munkások munkahelyi biztonságáról, a kockázatokról és a szakma identitáskríziséről

Ezt az írást már évek óta igyekszem befejezni. Akkor kezdtem, amikor 2018 nyarán egy, a devizahitel nem fizetése miatt kilakoltatás előtt álló háromgyermekes családapa meggyilkolta egyik kollégánkat, az egyetlen embert, aki a kilátástalan helyzetben megpróbált tenni valamit érte. Kezdetben a szociális munkások munkahelyi biztonságáról, és annak erősítési lehetőségeiről akartam írni. Meghívtak egy szakértői bizottságba, amelynek az lenne a célja, hogy ajánlásokat dolgozzon ki e tárgyban. A szakértői vélemény írása közben, mint rendes szociális munkás, igyekeztem átgondolni, hogy milyen kockázatok fenyegetik kollégáinkat a mindennapi munkában. Ekkor viszont azt is át kellett gondolnom, hogy mit tehetünk, vagy egyáltalában ki és mit tehet e kockázatok orvoslásért vagy legalább kontroll alatt tartásáért. Arra is rájöttem, hogy mennyit ér egy intervenció, ami nem érinti a legsúlyosabb kockázatokat, csak ajánlásokat fogalmaz meg a kollégáknak, hogy mit tegyenek, ha például a gyermekétől megfosztott apa baltát lóbálva jelenik meg az irodában. Ráadásul az intervencióknak is van ára. Milyen is lehet az a szociális segítő munka, amiben nincsenek intim tanácsadó szobák, van viszont őrző-védő személyzet, pánikgomb, paprika spray, “hivatalos személy!” felirat, és így tovább. Továbbá részt vettem abban a szakértői csoportban, aminek első jelentése egy súlyos műhiba ügyről ugyanebben a számban jelenik meg. És ezután jött a koronavírus-járvány. Most pedig befejeztem a tanulmányt, ami tulajdonképpen a hivatásunk válságáról és a lehetséges teendőkről szól.

Students and Teachers Perceptions of Physics Practical Work in Secondary Schools in Kakamega East Sub – County, Kenya

In the last ten years, the Kenya national examination council (KNEC) has reported unsatisfactory performance in the physics practical paper 232/3 despite the enthusiasm for practical work among the teachers of physics. In its recent annual report (KNEC, 2011), the national mean scores in practical papers for years 2007,2008,2009, 2010 and 2011 were 25.85, 23.92, 22.37,22.24, and 15.22 respectively. The figures listed above are a clear indication that practical work in physics is not yielding the much anticipated results. It is in view of this observation that the present study was initiated in Kakamega east Sub County to establish the reasons for the current trends in the use of practical work in the teaching and learning of physics. The purpose of this study was to assemble, organize, scrutinize, analyze and interpret the students and teachers perceptions of physics practical work. In this study, a sample of 100 students and 20 teachers of physics drawn from fifteen public secondary schools by simple random method were used. A questionnaire was used to collect the raw data for this study. A pilot study for this study was conducted in two public secondary schools to establish the reliability of the research tool. The reliability of the tool was calculated using cronbach’s alpha formula and found to be 0.73. The information collected in the study was presented by use of frequency tables and analysed using percentages. The findings of the study indicated that the majority of the students and teachers viewed practical work as a series of investigations that requires good organization and familiarizes students with apparatus and enables them to learn by doing. It is hoped that the findings of this study will go along way in informing teachers of physics and curriculum developers. The findings of this study will be used by curriculum developers to review the current curriculum and make the necessary changes in line with the best practices.

Will mHealth Revolutionize Health and Clinical Management and Open up New Horizons for Mental Health?

To summarize recent research and emerging trends in the field of Health and Clinical management and propose a selection of best papers for year 2015. A literature review has been conducted by the two section editors and computerized provider order entry systems from bibliographic databases regards to health clinical management. As a result, a list of 15 candidate papers has been elaborated and a peer-reviewed has been performed by external reviewers. A consensus meeting has been organized between the two section editors and the editorial board to conclude the selection of the 3 best papers. Starting with 1803 papers published in 2015, the full selection process ended with three papers from international peer-reviewed journals for the Health and Clinical Management section. IoT and Cloudification have a direct impact on health and clinical management this year. Telepsychiatry benefits directly from this development and take advantages of the improvement of smart homes and of the generalization of mHealth solutions. Social networks are starting to be integrated as valuable source of information that are complementary to clinical data for reasoning-based solutions.

Discussion of Secchi, Vantini and Vitelli paper

The MOX group has done it again! Following the famous Aneurisk Project (Sangalli et al. 2009), this massive data set is sure to generate interesting papers for years to come, and this first attack sets the bar high for future work. The data can be viewed as a detailed daily functional response distributed over both the two phases of the week, potentially over seasonal and long-term time, and over a large complex spatial region with many topological features, with enough resolution in both space and time to tease out many layers of local and global features. The authors have already gone well beyond the canonical covariance-based spatial-temporal methodology represented in Cressie and Wikle (2011) by bringing combining some ideas from data miningwithmore conventional principal components (PCA) and cluster analysis (CA) approaches, and have achieved the stimulating displays in Figures 7–9 that must surely have delighted their clients. Given the short 2-week time period, the tensor-product model (3) seems to be the simplest but most appropriate formulation of simultaneous variation over space and time. Because of the massive size of the data base, no doubt soon to be augmented by longer time intervals, I will focus my discussion on how we might go about designing analyses that reveal much more localized detail than could be accommodated by the low-resolution models underlying PCA and CA. I will also reserve most of my reflections for the temporal structure in the data, with a few suggestions for spatial analysis tacked on at the end. The top panel of Fig. 1 in the paper shows the aggregated Erlang-type phone activity level functions for 2 weeks, and we see two quite different daily patterns: all days have two peaks, but those of the week days are higher and of unequal heights, relative to the

South-east Asia's forest fires: blazing the policy trail

AbstractTransboundary haze pollution as a result of indiscriminate land clearance by fire has significant health and economic impacts on member states of the Association of South-east Asian Nations (ASEAN). Meanwhile the impact of the associated carbon emissions, ecological disturbance and biodiversity loss extends well beyond South-east Asia. This is despite the fact there are relatively well-established mechanisms to combat forest fires, and policy-level solutions have existed on paper for years. Although the fires are mostly in Indonesian territory, the involvement of multiple hierarchies of stakeholders in Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore adds complexity to the quest for lasting solutions. A more robust approach is required from the region's governments, especially in instilling accountability among large companies, and this is feasible without increasing political tensions within ASEAN. Indonesia's ratification of the Haze Agreement is a significant development but needs to be complemented with actions at the local (e.g. grassroot initiatives in forest protection, firefighting, policing of illegal clearance practices), national (e.g. centralizing ministry-level control of forestry resources) and regional levels (e.g. implementing compliance mechanisms and legal standards to tackle haze and forest fires). Ultimately, actions to combat forest fires may also help secure the long-term conservation of biodiversity-rich peat swamps. Rather than being a source of discord, combating haze pollution could become South-east Asia's defining environmental project.

Editorial [MWCL Manuscript Central submissions

The IEEE Microwave and Wireless Components Letters (MWCL) Manuscript Central submission process went live on 7 January 2010; since then it has been one year. To date, the number of papers reviewed with proper identification numbers totals 1315, which include 1137 papers without revisions, either in the form of first submission or resubmission. When a paper is accepted, it is added by an extension R1, R2, etc., to reflect its acceptance state under revision. The total number of papers under review for year 2010 still accumulates, since the resubmitted and revised papers continue to flow into the MWCL Manuscript Central. By the time all submitted papers in year 2010 are cleared, the total number of papers processed by the MWCL editorial team will be approximately 1500. Please refer to the pie-chart and table for monthly breakdowns. Therefore, it is comfortable to estimate that the MWCL editorial team needs to manage approximately 120 papers monthly on average for a prompt review. The smooth and streamline peers-review process at the MWCL Manuscript Central is a shared, successful experience contributed by 937 experts in the reviewer database. I am most grateful to all IEEE MWCL reviewers, making this journal prominent.

Research intelligence involving information retrieval – An example of conferences and journals

This paper reports a work that was intended to reveal the connection between topics investigated by conference papers and journal papers. This work selected hundreds of papers in data mining and information retrieval from well-known databases and showed that the topics covered by conference papers in a year often leads to similar topics covered by journal papers in the subsequent year and vice versa. This study used some existing algorithms and combination of these algorithms to proposed a new detective procedure for the researchers to detect the new trend and get the academic intelligence from conferences and journals. The goal of this research is fourfold: First, the research investigates if the conference papers’ themes lead the journal papers’. Second, the research examines how the new research themes can be identified from the conference papers. Third, the research looks at a specific area such as information retrieval and data mining as an illustration. Fourth, the research studies any inconsistencies of the correlation between the conference papers and the journal papers. This study explores the connections between the academic publications. The methodologies of information retrieval and data mining can be exploited to discover the relationships between published papers among all topics. By discovering the connections between conference papers and journal papers, researchers can improve the effectiveness of their research by identifying academic intelligence. This study discusses how conference papers and journal papers are related. The topics of conference papers are identified to determine whether they represent new trend discussed in journal papers. An automatic examination procedure based on information retrieval and data mining is also proposed to minimize the time and human resources required to predict further research developments. This study develops a new procedure and collects a dataset to verify those problems. Analytical results demonstrate that the conference papers submitted to journals papers are similar each year. Conference papers certainly affect the journal papers published over three years. About 87.23% of data points from papers published in 1991–2007 support our assumption. The research is intended to help researchers identify new trend in their research fields, and focus on the urgent topics. This is particularly valuable for new researchers in their field, or those who wish to perform cross-domain studies.
