Co-Designing a Digital App to Support Young People's Patient and Public Involvement and Engagement (VoiceIn): Development and Usability Study.

While patient and public involvement and engagement (PPIE) is now seen as a cornerstone of mental health research, young people's involvement in PPIE faces limitations. Work and school demands and more limited independence can make it challenging for young people to engage with PPIE. Lack of ability or desire to attend face-to-face meetings or group discussions can further compound this difficulty. The VoiceIn app and digital platform were codeveloped by a multidisciplinary team of young people, mental health researchers, and software designers, and enables young people to engage directly with PPIE opportunities via a mobile app. This paper aims to describe how VoiceIn was developed through a series of co-design workshops with relevant stakeholders, specifically (1) how the initial design of VoiceIn was informed and driven by focus groups with young people, mental health professionals, and PPIE leads; (2) how VoiceIn was refined through collaboration with the aforementioned stakeholders; (3) the priorities for an app to support PPIE; (4) the key features necessary in the PPIE app; and (5) the recommended next steps in testing and deploying the digital platform. Initial co-design workshops took place with young people, mental health professionals, and PPIE leads to identify key features of an app to support PPIE. A series of VoiceIn design prototypes were developed and iterated based on the priorities and preferences of the stakeholders. The MoSCoW (must have, should have, could have, won't have) prioritization method was used throughout the process to identify priorities across the different stakeholder groups. Co-design with young people, mental health professionals, and PPIE leads supported the successful development and improvement of the VoiceIn app. As a result of this process, key features were identified, including allowing for various modes of providing feedback (eg, polls and comments), reviewing project updates, and expressing interest in categories of research. The researcher platform was developed to support multimedia uploads for project descriptions; a jargon detector; a dedicated section for providing project updates; and a visually appealing, user-friendly design. While all stakeholder groups emphasized the importance of allowing app users to engage with the app in various ways and for there to be ongoing progress updates, group differences were also noticed. Young people expressed a desire for incentives and rewards for engaging with the app (eg, to post on their public social media profiles), and mental health professionals and PPIE leads prioritized flexibility in describing the project and its PPIE needs. A co-design approach was pivotal to the development of the VoiceIn app. This collaborative approach enabled the app to meet the divergent needs of young people, mental health professionals, and PPIE leads. This process mirrored the aspirations of PPIE initiatives by cocreating a digital health research tool with key stakeholders.

Examining the Impact of Young People's Involvement in Cultural Heritage Preservation and Promotion

Culture is vital in preserving history and continuity of traditions, and that is why cultural practices should be protected and supported. It is important to understand young people's participation in these activities first because they are the key to sustaining the efforts in the future. This study examines the impact of young people's involvement in cultural heritage (CH) through four key variables, knowledge (KNW), engagement in activities (EIA), interest in participation (IIP), and impact perception (IP). The data were administered through a structured questionnaire, which was distributed among 300 students from schools and colleges. Several statistical tests were conducted such as reliability tests, analysis of variance (ANOVA), Chi-Square tests, and descriptive analysis using SPSS version 20. The results of the reliabilities of the scales showed that KNW and IIP are very reliable and EIA and IP are comparatively slightly less reliable. The outcome of the ANOVA revealed differences in the variables with a notable F-value signifying variability in responses. Results of chi-square tests showed that KNW and IIP were significant at p < 0.05 while EIA and IP were not significant. The mean score for all the variables was determined using descriptive statistics, and results showed that IIP had the highest mean score meaning that youths were willing to participate in cultural heritage activities. The study also identifies KNW and IIP as key elements that affect youth engagement in the preservation of cultural heritage. It indicates or rather underlines the possibility of harnessing this, interest to improve further on cultural heritage programs.

THE CONCEPT OF E-PARLIAMENT: STRENGTHENING MEANINGFUL PARTICIPATION IN LAWMAKING IN INDONESIA

Act as a legal instrument has an important role in state life. The act is one of the ways the people govern themselves. People's involvement in the law-making is something that cannot be abandoned. This is based on the importance of meaningful public participation to ensure that laws are to the needs of the people. People's involvement in law-making is still low, therefore an e-parliament concept is needed. This article will focus on the flow and concept of community involvement in the process of law formation in Indonesia. The method used in this writing is socio-legal which focuses on technological phenomena that expand and strengthen community involvement in the laws making. A comparative approach is also used to see the extent to which other countries use technology in the legislation. This article concludes two things, namely first, public involvement in law-making in Indonesia is still low. Limited access to be involved in the formation of laws is one factor. This affects the quality of the law because it does not fulfill meaningful public participation. Second, the concept of e-parliament is one way to strengthen meaningful participation in the formation of laws in Indonesia. In addition, the comparison of other countries that use technology in the formation of laws needs to be a reference to improve the quality of the system and the quality of public participation. That way law-making will be better, especially in meaningful public participation. E-Parliament can be a means of developing effective and solutive community involvement.

TOTAL QUALITY MANAGEMENT (TQM) ENABLERS AND STRATEGIC IMPLEMENTATION MODEL FOR MALAYSIAN MANUFACTURING SMALL AND MEDIUM ENTERPRISES

Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) contributed significantly to the Malaysian economy with 99% of business establishment. The contribution of SMEs to the GDP increased to 38.4% in 2022 as compare to 37.4% in 2021. They employed 7.32 million workers or 47.8% share to Malaysia employment and contributing substantial amount of RM580.4 billion or 38.4% in 2022 to the Malaysian GDP as compare to 2021 with RM520 billion or 37.4% (DOSM, 2023). Services and manufacturing sectors uphold their position as the main contributors to SMEs’ GDP, accounting for an 84.6% per cent share. The transformation and sustaining of the competitiveness of the service and manufacturing sector were among the major factors in determining the pace of economic activity for Malaysia. Therefore, strategies of the Twelfth (12th.) Malaysia Plan (2021-2025) was specifically designed to help the development of SME businesses to be more competitive in the market. Through an extensive literature review and interviews with academic experts in the field of TQM, the objectives of this study were designed to identify the enablers of successful TQM implementation, to determine what are the most contributing enablers as a result of TQM implementation and established strategic models engaged by Malaysian SME businesses. The self-administered questionnaire distributed to Malaysian SMEs to gain a general understanding of TQM implementation from the perspective of senior business managers. The finding indicates four enablers significantly contributed to the performance of organizations that includes customer focus, people's involvement, leadership and continuous improvement. As such it is reflected the importance to reinforce the role of management as systems designers in designing effective systems that are capable of sustaining levels of high performance.

Understanding and Defining Young People's Involvement and Under-Representation in Mental Health Research: A Delphi Study.

The mental health of young people (aged 16-25 years) is a growing public health concern in the United Kingdom due to the increasing numbers of young people experiencing mental health difficulties, with many not in contact with mental health services. To design services that meet the needs of all young people, a diversity of young people must be involved in mental health research, beyond being participants. This Delphi study aimed to identify different types of 'involvement' and to define and describe 'under-representation' in young people's involvement in mental health research. Twenty-seven experts in young people's mental health research completed a series of online questionnaires. The experts were academic researchers, patient and public involvement (PPI) professionals and young 'experts by experience'. Round 1 generated panellists' views on 'involvement' and 'under-representation'. Round 2 summarised panellists' responses from Round 1 and sought consensus (minimum 70% agreement) in nine question areas. Round 3 validated the findings of the previous rounds. Consensus was achieved in eight out of nine areas, resulting in a matrix (with definitions) of the different types of young people's involvement in mental health research, from being advisors to involvement ambassadors. The findings generated an agreed-upon definition of under-representation, an identification of when in the research process there is under-representation and the characteristics of the young people who are under-represented. Experts further agreed on demographic data that should be collected to improve reporting on involvement. This study adds to our understanding of involvement and under-representation in the context of young people's mental health research through expert consensus. It provides a practical resource for researchers considering involving young people in the research process and suggests the data that should be collected to improve reporting on the diversity of the young people involved. A research oversight group of five young people advised on this study. They contributed throughout the project-from endorsing the research question to commenting on the findings and dissemination. Two of the group reviewed all participant materials and piloted the initial questionnaire.

Early childhood social-emotional development is vital in forming mentally and emotionally healthy individuals. Collaboration between educators and families is critical in creating a supportive environment for developing these social-emotional skills. This paper aims to investigate the role of cooperation between educators and families in supporting the social-emotional development of early childhood in the family and school environment. This research uses a qualitative approach by analyzing related scientific literature, case studies, and practical experiences collaborating with educators and families to support early childhood social-emotional development. The research results show that collaboration between educators and families can strengthen the social-emotional development of early childhood by providing open communication channels, providing resources and information, building solid educational partnerships, providing parenting skills training, supporting families in problem-solving, and increasing people's involvement. Old at school. This collaboration allows children to develop communication, emotional management, and other social skills more effectively, helping them grow and develop positively.

Young people's and adults' views and experiences of decision-making to manage compromised first permanent molars: a qualitative study.

Little information on young people's and adults' views and experiences on decision-making for managing compromised first permanent molars (cFPM) exists. To establish young people's and adults' views and experiences of decision-making for managing cFPM. Face-to-face (online) semi-structured interviews were undertaken using an iteratively designed topic guide. Participants aged 12-65 were purposively sampled with recruitment from different dental clinics (three primary care, an out-of-hours emergency and one dental hospital). Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim and analysed using thematic analysis. Three themes were generated from young people's interviews (n = 9): (i) influencing factors; (ii) long-term considerations; and (iii) shared decision-making. Three themes were generated from adults' interviews (n = 13): (i) influences that affect decisions; (ii) perceptions of the specialist's role; and (iii) importance of shared decision-making for children and young people. Several factors influenced decision-making; for young people, professional opinions were important, and parental/peer influences less so. For adults, it was based on decisions on their prior experiences. Adults felt young people were abnormal if referred to a specialist. Young people wanted autonomy in decision-making to be respected; in reality, their views were rarely heard. There is potential to increase young people's involvement in shared decision-making for cFPM, which aligns with their aspirations.

Examining economic incentives and youth engagement in cultural heritage conservation for tourism and sustainable development: A case study of cultural provinces in Vietnam

This study examines the relationship between economic incentives and young people's involvement in conserving cultural heritage within Vietnam's cultural provinces. Using multivariable linear regression analysis on data from 200 randomly chosen participants, the main goal is to find out how different types of economic incentives can get more young people involved in preserving cultural heritage, which will help reach goals for sustainable development. The findings indicate a significant positive impact of job creation initiatives on youth engagement, underscoring the pivotal role of employment opportunities in aligning conservation efforts with sustainable development goals. Additionally, entrepreneurial support emerges as a critical factor, suggesting the necessity of nuanced strategies to optimize its efficacy. Furthermore, we identify skill development and educational support as vital for sustaining youth involvement in cultural heritage conservation, noting positive associations with grant opportunities, recognition, and awards. These results underscore the intricate interplay of various incentives in nurturing youth engagement. The study's implications are far-reaching for policymakers, accentuating the importance of a comprehensive approach integrating economic incentives with educational support to foster youth participation in cultural heritage conservation. By providing insights into effective incentivization mechanisms, this research facilitates the formulation of targeted interventions and policy measures tailored to the distinctive context of Vietnam's cultural provinces. Despite inherent limitations, this study significantly enhances our understanding of mobilizing youth for cultural heritage conservation in a manner that advances sustainable development objectives.

People's experiences of their involvement in nursing care: a systematic review protocol.

People's involvement and participation are the essential basis of nursing care. This phenomenon can be characterised as an approach based on the integration of the person's values, beliefs, and preferences during nursing care. This process contributes to improve the quality of care, satisfaction levels, and a better experience for people. To promote the person's participation in nursing care, it is necessary to better understand their experiences about this topic. To synthesise the available evidence on people's experiences of their involvement and participation in nursing care in a hospital setting. A systematic review that will be conducted according to the JBI methodology for systematic reviews of qualitative evidence. The study selection, critical appraisal, and data extraction will be conducted by two independent reviewers. This review will consider studies with a qualitative approach, published and unpublished, in Portuguese, English and Spanish with no temporal limit, that include adults, aged 18 years or older, who have experienced an admission in a hospital; that explore people's experiences of their involvement and participation in nursing care in hospital wards settings. Findings will be presented using meta-aggregation approach and narrative format, and the final synthesised findings will be graded according to the ConQual approach. It is expected that this qualitative synthesis will inform people, health professionals and policymakers, allowing them to develop recommendations to promote the person's participation in nursing care.

Protocol: The effect of restorative justice interventions for young people on offending and reoffending: A systematic review.

This is the protocol for a Campbell systematic review. The objectives are as follows. The primary aim of this mixed methods review is to synthesise the available evidence regarding the effectiveness of restorative justice interventions (RJIs) for reducing offending and reoffending outcomes in children and young people. We are also particularly interested in the impact of RJIs on children and young peoples' violent offending and violent reoffending. A second aim of the review is to examine whether the magnitude of effectiveness of RJIs may be influenced by study characteristics such as the population (e.g., age, ethnicity, or sex), the form of intervention (e.g., face-to-face mediation compared to family group conferencing), the place of delivery of the intervention (e.g., in independent office, in court), implementation (e.g., trained facilitators, dose, fidelity) and methodology (e.g., randomised controlled trial).The third aim of the review is to synthesise the qualitative evidence about RJ to develop a better contextual understanding of how these programmes may work and to elucidate factors that might increase the efficacy and implementation of RJ interventions. The specific research questions this systematic review aims to address are: (1) Do RJ interventions reduce children and young people's involvement in offending or reoffending relative to a comparison group? [RQ1]. (2) Is there variation in the impact of different RJ approaches on young people's involvement in offending or reoffending? [RQ2]. (3) Is there variation in the impact of RJIs on children and young people's offending or reoffending depending on the characteristics of the participants taking part in the RJI (e.g., sex, age, ethnicity)? [RQ3]. (4) What characteristics of RJIs, influence the effectiveness of RJIs for children and young people's offending and reoffending? [RQ4]. (5) What are the most notable barriers and facilitators, as reported by participants (e.g., the victims, children/young people, or mediators who have taken part in an evaluation of an RJI, or those children or young people who were meant to take part in an evaluation but ultimately did not), to the implementation of RJIs to reduce later offending or reoffending? [RQ5].

Emerging technologies in citizen science and potential for insect monitoring.

Emerging technologies are increasingly employed in environmental citizen science projects. This integration offers benefits and opportunities for scientists and participants alike. Citizen science can support large-scale, long-term monitoring of species occurrences, behaviour and interactions. At the same time, technologies can foster participant engagement, regardless of pre-existing taxonomic expertise or experience, and permit new types of data to be collected. Yet, technologies may also create challenges by potentially increasing financial costs, necessitating technological expertise or demanding training of participants. Technology could also reduce people's direct involvement and engagement with nature. In this perspective, we discuss how current technologies have spurred an increase in citizen science projects and how the implementation of emerging technologies in citizen science may enhance scientific impact and public engagement. We show how technology can act as (i) a facilitator of current citizen science and monitoring efforts, (ii) an enabler of new research opportunities, and (iii) a transformer of science, policy and public participation, but could also become (iv) an inhibitor of participation, equity and scientific rigour. Technology is developing fast and promises to provide many exciting opportunities for citizen science and insect monitoring, but while we seize these opportunities, we must remain vigilant against potential risks. This article is part of the theme issue 'Towards a toolkit for global insect biodiversity monitoring'.

The implications of this knowledge system among local community are environmental conservation and life sustainability.

Key Insights into Developing Qualitative Concept Elicitation Work for Outcome Measures with Children and Young People.

Qualitative concept elicitation can develop meaningful patient-reported outcome measures for children and young people; however, the methods used for concept elicitation are often underreported for this population. This paper provides in-depth insight into the methods used for concept elicitation with children and young people, with a focus on key stages of concept elicitation that are challenging or unique to doing this research with children. Drawing on our experiences of developing wellbeing measures for children and young people aged 6-15 years, we detail the processes followed in our qualitative concept elicitation work, covering issues related to sampling and recruitment, encouraging informed assent and freedom over children and young people's involvement in concept elicitation, and the use of creative and participatory methods to develop measure items. We provide reflections on the approaches taken to navigate challenging aspects of concept elicitation with children and young people. Our reflections suggest that using existing links and online recruitment methods can help to navigate organisational gatekeepers, and using appropriate processes to develop study information and obtain informed assent can ensure that research is inclusive and that children have the freedom to decide whether to be involved. Our adaptation of a creative and participatory activity to generate concepts for measure items suggests that such approaches can be engaging and may help to give children greater control over their participation. In detailing our methods, we hope to have developed a useful resource for other researchers, while highlighting the value of transparent reporting in this area.

МОТИВАЦИЯ РОCСИЙСКОЙ МОЛОДЕЖИ К ДОНОРСТВУ КРОВИ

Significance. To date, the need for blood donors in Russia is not fully satisfied, which actualizes the demand for new young donors. At the same time there is a lack of comprehensive research on motivation of young people to donate in our country. The purpose of the study was to explore motivation of young people to donate blood and to develop practical recommendations for involving young people in blood donation. Material and methods. All-Russian sociological research was conducted in July 2022 among young people aged 16-23. 1030 people were interviewed online. The sex and age distribution of the sample corresponds to the Rosstat data on the number of representatives of the target group. The “Brand Analytics” software product was used to upload posts from social media, with the help of which 64,083 publications were uploaded. Results. Only 18% of the surveyed young people have experience in blood donation, and every 10th was disappointed in it. Motivation of young people to donate blood at the level of declarations is mainly guided by humanistic motives, with monetary rewards ranking second. Every third responded that a lack of financial incentives would reduce their desire to be a donor. Notification that the donated blood has been given to another person is a key non-material incentive, influencing the desire to donate among young people. Monetary rewards and the opportunity to check health are key tangible incentives. Half of the young people surveyed noted the influence of their environment on their involvement in blood donation, and there is also a link between participation in charitable activities and donation. We see reference groups as an important source of young people's involvement in donation. The role of social media in involving young people in donation is significant. The analysis of social media messages shows that the following two topics dominate the information field of donation: humanistic motives and general medical discussions. Motives of urgency and danger contribute to initial reactions, but do not always result in reposts. Conclusion. The motivation of young people to donate blood generally corresponds to the motivations of donors of older groups, with humanistic and material motivation coexisting. The study offers a number of practical recommendations. Scope of application. The results can be used to develop information policy on youth motivation in order to involve and retain in blood donation.

Youth Participation in Politics: Shared Vision and Democracy in India

Many people think that young people will be the leaders of tomorrow, but in reality, they are the leaders of today, and their diverse upbringing and life experiences will influence how they view politics. They must thus become more politically educated and engaged in order to direct their efforts toward constructive change and position themselves as leaders in the defense and advancement of democracy. Young people who are politically engaged develop a civic ethic that extends beyond politics and includes community service through involvement in health, education, and philanthropic endeavors. Voting, taking part in political revelations, and signing petitions on certain causes are all examples of political involvement, which is a more focused form of civic commitment or contribution. Young people's involvement in politics is not only advantageous in the near run, but it also lays the groundwork for sustained political activism in the future. It is imperative that they acknowledge that they are the leaders of today and, as such, that they have a greater say in the course of their future. In addition, kids may be a creative force and a dynamic source of inventions. Throughout history, youth have surely engaged in, contributed to, and even accelerated significant changes in political institutions, power relations, and economic prospects. This research paper is based on youth participation in politics: shared vision and democracy in India.

Transformative power production futures: citizen jury deliberations in Saskatchewan, Canada

BackgroundTransforming power production systems to achieve net zero emissions and address climate change will require deep structural changes, partially dependent on community perceptions of the necessary energy transition. The article presents results from 2-day citizen juries held in four communities of Saskatchewan, Canada: Estevan, Swift Current, Regina, and Saskatoon in 2021/22 whose purpose was to determine if place attachment impacts future power production preferences and whether social learning can be achieved. Mixed research methods included a survey before and after the citizen juries and a qualitative analysis of the discussions and outputs.ResultsResearch results confirm that while there are common concerns across communities about unbiased information, transparent decision-making, justice/equity concerns, and people's involvement, community-imagined energy futures can be very divergent. Not only place-based attachment, the existent industry and infrastructure surrounding the community impact preferences but also openness to learning and group dynamics contribute. Focused deliberations on the complex problem of climate change advance social learning.The coal, oil, and gas community of Estevan supported coal, natural gas, and carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) to a substantially larger extent than other communities, even increasing their preference for coal after the citizen jury. Saskatoon chose Small Modular Reactors (SMR) as their top choice, whereas Swift Current switched from preferring natural gas to solar and SMRs.ConclusionsThe findings from the jury sessions suggest changing attitudes toward SMRs as a potential source of energy, as well as a shift from cost considerations to environmental. Future research implications could include differing methodologies and potentially partnering beyond academia. Jurors all expressed the desire for greater government leadership, urging the government to demonstrate accountability, hold large enterprises accountable, and be more proactive in bringing parties together.

PARTICULARITIES OF THE FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE THE INVOLVEMENT OF YOUNG PEOPLE IN VOLUNTEERING ACTIVITIES

The behavior of young people involved in volunteer activities is also the result of society's challenges. Therefore, the management of volunteering activities must focus on the motivation of young volunteers. Identifying the main factors that influence the motivation and frequency of young people's involvement in volunteer activities is one of the solutions that contribute to empowering many volunteers and increasing the involvement of young people in more volunteer projects. Using PLS-SEM, we evaluated how personal attributes (age and education) guide the behavior of young people involved in volunteer activities. The research results indicate that their seriousness and rigor in volunteering activities (regardless of gender) allow young people to experience activities in various fields, contributing to developing personal skills.
