Generating customer wealth by mobile-based agricultural extension services: BOP farmers in the emerging markets

Purpose This research was motivated by the recognition that the use of mobile-based agricultural extension services (AES) applications has become increasingly popular among the bottom of the pyramid segment in recent years. However, users’ adoption is determined not only by their perception of the technology but also by its perceived wealth. In other words, even though a technology may be perceived as advanced, if it does not fit users’ wealth perception benefits, they may not adopt it. Using an extended unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) perspective, this study aims to explore potential predictors of behavioral intention toward AES such as effort expectancy, performance expectancy, customer wealth (CW), social influence and perceived characteristics of innovation. Design/methodology/approach Potential causal connections between key UTAUT factors and users’ intentions to use the services are hypothesized. An integrated theoretical model was developed and tested against the empirical data collected from 336 AES users. A measurement model and structural equation model were tested using AMOS 22.0 and confirmed all 14 hypothesized relationships. Findings The results were consistent with the recent literature on mobile technology acceptance, confirming an unmoderated relationship between CW and the adoption of mobile-based AES. This research proposes a mobile AES user adoption model by integrating CW with the unified theory of acceptance and usage of technology (UTAUT). Originality/value This study establishes CW as an outcome of various relationships.

#3078 The utility and cost-effectiveness of embedding geriatric expertise in a tertiary referral renal clinic

Abstract Background and Aims The demographic of people receiving dialysis is changing with an increasing prevalence of frailty, co-morbidity and geriatric syndromes. To address this, we initiated routine, embedded, consultant geriatric review of a selected group of patients (frail/living with frailty syndromes, age>80 preparing for dialysis, undecided between treatment options, patient/family judged by MDT to have unrealistic perception of treatment benefit) in our renal low clearance (pre-dialysis) clinic alongside our already-established palliative care service to support decision-making about treatment options for end stage kidney disease Method Starting in 2018, 77 patients were reviewed before suspension enforced by the Covid-19 pandemic in March 2020 and a further 56 since resumption between July 2021 and January 2023. We present the short-term results of all 133 patients immediately following geriatric review, plus long-term outcome data for the first 77 patients for whom we have 3 years’ follow up, including health economic analysis and ANOVA of frailty and treatment choice. Results Initially the cohort included 10 patients who had already chosen conservative management (CM) of their renal failure, but after one PDSA cycle only patients choosing dialysis or undecided about treatment choices underwent review in the service (mean age 78 [range 62-92]; 70% male). Following geriatric review, the number of patients uncertain about their future renal treatment plan changed from 43 to 3; the number choosing to have dialysis reduced from 80 to 44 and the number choosing CM increased from 10 to 74. The number of advance care plans made among the group reviewed by the geriatrician increased from 0 to 77, and the number of DNACPR records increased from 6 to 43; there were increased referrals to falls, memory and continence clinics. Overall, 57% of patients left clinic with a different management plan. 36 months after geriatric review, the survival rate in the group choosing dialysis was 46% and in the CM group was 33%; the majority of deaths were unrelated to renal failure. ANOVA indicated that clinical frailty scores impacted outcome more than treatment choice; health economic analysis showed the costs of providing this review (average 193 GBP per patient) were highly likely to be more than off-set by reductions in unnecessary fistula formation alone (average 288 GBP per patient) Conclusion Routine, protocol-supported geriatric review in a tertiary referral renal service is cost effective and associated with increased dialysis decision-making, reduced dialysis uptake, increased advance care-planning, increased CPR decision-making plus recognition and appropriate referral of geriatric syndromes. Outcomes in the group suggest little difference in survival among those choosing dialysis vs CM, and that frailty is more indicative of prognosis than treatment choice.

College students' perceptions of electronic cigarette risks and benefits: a concept mapping study.

The use of electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) is on the rise among young adults, with higher public acceptance than traditional tobacco. A study in Taiwan employed concept mapping to explore risk and benefit perceptions of e-cigarette use among college students. The study involved 100 college students from 11 Taiwanese universities, with 50 being e-cigarette users and 50 non-users. Data collection and analysis were done with the GroupWisdom™ platform. Participants engaged in brainstorming, rating and sorting their perceptions, which were analyzed using multidimensional scaling and hierarchical cluster analyses. The participants' mean age was 19.24 years, and 55% were male. This process resulted in the identification of 10 clusters encompassing 64 statements, with 3 clusters focused on risk perceptions, 6 on benefit perceptions, and 1 dealing with e-cigarette regulations. Notably, risk perceptions were rated higher than benefit perceptions. Non-users held significantly higher risk perceptions and lower benefit perceptions across the nine clusters related to e-cigarette use. Concept mapping proved to be an effective tool for understanding college students' perceptions. These findings can assist health educators in comprehending college students' viewpoints on e-cigarette use and in developing targeted interventions. Additionally, exploring benefit perceptions may enhance students' critical thinking skills regarding e-cigarette advertising.

What determines local attitudes towards Jordan’s renewable energy transition? Evidence from household surveys

ABSTRACT The potential for renewable energy to encourage sustainable development raises high hopes for the future among countries in the Global South. However, there has been less research on how energy transitions are perceived outside of the Global North and democratic contexts. This paper explores attitudes towards the energy transition in Jordan, where expert interviews reveal that a strong renewable energy industry has emerged from top-down government efforts to reduce energy dependency and costs. We perform an in-person household survey with 320 respondents in areas with different transition risks and benefits, and then test a series of hypotheses using regression analysis. In the four communities surveyed, income stress and climate concern influence attitudes, as well as perceptions of community benefits. National-level concerns also matter, including energy dependency and energy costs for all Jordanians. Our results highlight the importance of context: findings from the North are not universal and understanding transitions in the Global South requires studying them in their own right. Policy insights Jordanian policymakers should reverse their policy of blocking renewables to avoid public backlash. Jordanian policymakers and funders should promote projects in communities with high economic dependence on the fossil fuel industry to ensure local support in areas facing transition risks. Policymakers should highlight collective, not just individual benefits of transitions, as perceptions of community and country benefits increase support. Policymakers in highly energy-dependent countries like Jordan should frame renewables as an answer to local and national challenges such as high energy prices. Actors wishing to promote clean energy support in different contexts should investigate local dynamics to build communication strategies that frame transitions appropriately.

School-to-school partnerships: an approach to improving Syrian schools in post-conflict recovery

PurposeThis research seeks to highlight school partnerships as an approach to improving schools and halting the deterioration of their performance in an environment that has suffered from the consequences of conflict for more than a decade.Design/methodology/approachThe research used the qualitative method, and the data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 20 school leaders and teachers.FindingsThe results showed the presence of positive attitudes toward inter-school partnerships and their perception of many benefits, the most prominent of which was increasing social cohesion in school and surrounding communities that suffer from divisions resulting from conflict. A set of obstacles includes legislative obstacles, a low degree of autonomy, low competency of school leaders, a lack of trust and incentives.Originality/valueThis study proposes a range of solutions to address the challenges associated with building partnerships. The research emphasizes the significance the school-to-school partnerships and their positive role in improving the performance of schools in developing countries, especially in environments suffering from the consequences of civil wars and social divisions.

Changes in the perception of benefits and risks of antidepressive pharmacotherapy

Antidepressive pharmacotherapy has undergone various phases in its history. The euphoria of the early years on the relief of depressive symptoms was followed by a long period of clinical experience and intensive scientific work resulting in a more balanced perspective. Current debates circle around the actual effectiveness, especially with respect to long-term treatment, the prevention of suicide and the sequelae of discontinuation of an antidepressant. The evaluation of antidepressants as a group and often also the risk-benefit ratio of an individual treatment change over time. Antidepressants are typical for many forms of psychiatric treatment which, in a term from Hanfried Helmchen, are just as Janus-faced as psychiatry in a general sense is as a science and as a clinical discipline.

Examining the Effectiveness of Interactive Webtoons for Premature Birth Prevention: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial.

Premature birth poses significant health challenges globally, impacting infants, families, and society. Despite recognition of its contributing factors, efforts to reduce its incidence have seen limited success. A notable gap exists in the awareness among women of childbearing age (WCA) regarding both the risks of premature birth and the preventative measures they can take. Research suggests that enhancing health beliefs and self-management efficacy in WCA could foster preventive health behaviors. Interactive webtoons offer an innovative, cost-effective avenue for delivering engaging, accessible health education aimed at preventing premature birth. This protocol describes a randomized controlled trial to assess the effectiveness and feasibility of a novel, self-guided, web-based intervention-Pregnancy Story I Didn't Know in Interactive Webtoon Series (PSIDK-iWebtoons)-designed to enhance self-management efficacy and promote behaviors preventing premature birth in WCA. Using an explanatory sequential mixed methods design, this study first conducts a quantitative analysis followed by a qualitative inquiry to evaluate outcomes and feasibility. Participants are randomly assigned to 2 groups: one accessing the PSIDK-iWebtoons and the other receiving Pregnancy Story I Didn't Know in Text-Based Information (PSIDK-Texts) over 3 weeks. We measure primary efficacy through the self-management self-efficacy scale for premature birth prevention (PBP), alongside secondary outcomes including perceptions of susceptibility, severity, benefits, and barriers based on the health belief model for PBP and PBP intention. Additional participant-reported outcomes are assessed at baseline, the postintervention time point, and the 4-week follow-up. The feasibility of the intervention is assessed after the end of the 3-week intervention period. Outcome analysis uses repeated measures ANOVA for quantitative data, while qualitative data are explored through content analysis of interviews with 30 participants. The study received funding in June 2021 and institutional review board approval in October 2023. Both the PSIDK-iWebtoons and PSIDK-Texts interventions have been developed and pilot-tested from July to November 2023, with the main phase of quantitative data collection running from November 2023 to March 2024. Qualitative data collection commenced in February 2024 and will conclude in May 2024. Ongoing analyses include process evaluation and data interpretation. This trial will lay foundational insights into the nexus of interactive web-based interventions and the improvement of knowledge and practices related to PBP among WCA. By demonstrating the efficacy and feasibility of a web-based, interactive educational tool, this study will contribute essential evidence to the discourse on accessible and scientifically robust digital platforms. Positive findings will underscore the importance of such interventions in fostering preventive health behaviors, thereby supporting community-wide efforts to mitigate the risk of premature births through informed self-management practices.

Factors that foster individual willingness to serve in rehabilitation-oriented penal sector volunteer roles in Japan

With the growing importance of penal sector volunteers, it is necessary to provide effective information for potential volunteers and clarify the factors related to the willingness to serve. This study aimed to determine factors influencing the willingness of penal sector volunteers in Japan. We administered an online survey of 800 people to determine their willingness to volunteer in ten different types of rehabilitation activities, both formal and informal, targeted at criminal justice-involved people of all ages. A multiple-regression analysis showed the importance of examining the psychological and demographic factors to explain volunteer willingness. Structural equation modelling revealed that the most important factor is the perception of personal benefits offered by penal sector volunteers; therefore, providing information about the personal benefits of volunteering may improve volunteer willingness. This study identifies important implications regarding volunteer psychological factors which can be used to design interventions to change public attitudes.

Sleep quality differences among caregivers for persons living with and without dementia

Objectives This study examined the relationship between caring for a person with/without dementia and caregiver sleep quality, and analyzed the extent to which perceived benefits of caregiving and assessments of caregiver-recipient relationship quality explain the relationship between care recipient dementia status and caregiver sleep quality. Method Data were analyzed from caregivers for persons with no or probable dementia who participated in the 2017 National Study of Caregiving (NSOC) and National Health and Aging Trends Study. Caregiver sleep quality was measured using NSOC time diary interview. Perceptions of caregiving and relationship quality were assessed using 4-item surveys. We used multivariable logistic regressions to examine the association between care recipient dementia status and caregiver sleep quality controlling for covariates. Results The sample consisted of 1,374 caregivers (mean age = 62.3, SD = 14, 68.3% women, 69.4% non-Hispanic White). In multivariable models adjusting for caregiver and care recipient characteristics, being a caregiver for someone with dementia was associated with 23% lower odds of reporting “excellent/very good” sleep quality (OR: 0.77, 95%CI: 0.61-0.98, p = 0.032). Greater perception of caregiving benefits was associated with 8% greater odds of “excellent/very good” sleep quality (AOR: 1.08, 95%CI: 1.02-1.15, p = 0.013), but did not explain the relationship between dementia and caregiver sleep quality. Positive ratings of relationship quality explained the relationship between care recipient dementia status and caregiver sleep quality (AOR: 0.82, 95%CI: 0.65-1.05, p = 0.12). Conclusion Improving assessments of relationship quality and amplifying perceptions of caregiving benefits may reduce disparities in sleep quality between caregivers of persons living with or without dementia.

Keywords: Gopay, Perception of Benefit, Perception of Convenience, Sales Promotion

Synthetic faces generated with the facial action coding system or deep neural networks improve speech-in-noise perception, but not as much as real faces.

The prevalence of synthetic talking faces in both commercial and academic environments is increasing as the technology to generate them grows more powerful and available. While it has long been known that seeing the face of the talker improves human perception of speech-in-noise, recent studies have shown that synthetic talking faces generated by deep neural networks (DNNs) are also able to improve human perception of speech-in-noise. However, in previous studies the benefit provided by DNN synthetic faces was only about half that of real human talkers. We sought to determine whether synthetic talking faces generated by an alternative method would provide a greater perceptual benefit. The facial action coding system (FACS) is a comprehensive system for measuring visually discernible facial movements. Because the action units that comprise FACS are linked to specific muscle groups, synthetic talking faces generated by FACS might have greater verisimilitude than DNN synthetic faces which do not reference an explicit model of the facial musculature. We tested the ability of human observers to identity speech-in-noise accompanied by a blank screen; the real face of the talker; and synthetic talking faces generated either by DNN or FACS. We replicated previous findings of a large benefit for seeing the face of a real talker for speech-in-noise perception and a smaller benefit for DNN synthetic faces. FACS faces also improved perception, but only to the same degree as DNN faces. Analysis at the phoneme level showed that the performance of DNN and FACS faces was particularly poor for phonemes that involve interactions between the teeth and lips, such as /f/, /v/, and /th/. Inspection of single video frames revealed that the characteristic visual features for these phonemes were weak or absent in synthetic faces. Modeling the real vs. synthetic difference showed that increasing the realism of a few phonemes could substantially increase the overall perceptual benefit of synthetic faces.

Acceptability of teledentistry use among residents and staff in aged residential care facilities in the Otago region of New Zealand.

To assess ARC residents' and staff perceptions of the benefits of, and comfort with, teledentistry use in ARC facilities in the Otago region of NZ, and identify end-user-level factors associated with its use. Difficulty in accessing oral healthcare services is a key barrier to aged residential care (ARC) residents' oral health and well-being. Teledentistry offers a possible solution, yet studies on its acceptability in ARCs are sparse, especially in New Zealand (NZ). This study assessed ARC residents' and staff perceptions of the benefits of, and comfort with, teledentistry use in ARC facilities in the Otago region of NZ and identified end-user-level factors associated with its use. Rest home-level residents and care staff in ARC facilities in the Otago region of NZ were surveyed to assess their awareness of teledentistry, perceptions of benefit and comfort using teledentistry, and end-user-level factors associated with the feasibility of using it in ARCs. One hundred residents and 77 care staff from 14 facilities participated. Three-quarters of resident participants thought that teledentistry was beneficial. Three in five resident participants were comfortable receiving remote dental consultations and care advice through teledentistry. Acceptability, as measured by perceived benefits and comfort, was lower among older participants. Staff participants were receptive to teledentistry use for residents and were comfortable facilitating remote dental consultations and care through teledentistry. No staff participants disagreed with the potential benefits of teledentistry for ARC residents. Teledentistry would likely be acceptable to residents and staff in ARC facilities in NZ, contributing to residents' improved access to oral health care and improved oral health and well-being.

Perceptions of Tree Risks and Benefits in a Historically African American Neighborhood

An expansive body of research demonstrates the social and ecological benefits of urban forests, although urban tree canopy density tends to be lower than average in areas occupied by marginalized populations. Non-profit organizations and local governments have initiated tree-planting programs; however, some of these programs have encountered local resistance. This study took place in a historically African American neighborhood in the Southern USA with a low tree canopy where residents expressed disinterest in replanting trees following a tree hazard removal campaign led by a local non-profit organization. Employing focus groups and interviews, we explored residents’ environmental attitudes and risk perceptions by asking about the risks and benefits of neighborhood trees and barriers to the enjoyment of them. The material and emotional bonds residents have with the neighborhood informed their preferences about trees and green space. Trees were often viewed as hazards and financial risks, although they were an integral part of residents’ identities for themselves and their community. The findings suggest that neglecting to look at diverse perceptions will challenge a city’s ability to communicate about the urban forest and, therefore, sustainably address disparities in tree benefits and problems.

Hospital-Based Health Professionals' Perceptions of Frailty in Older People.

There is a high prevalence of frailty amongst older patients in hospital settings. Frailty guidelines exist but implementation to date has been challenging. Understanding health professional attitudes, knowledge, and beliefs about frailty is critical in understanding barriers and enablers to guideline implementation, and the aim of this study was to understand these in rehabilitation multidisciplinary teams in hospital settings. Twenty-three semistructured interviews were conducted with health professionals working in multidisciplinary teams on geriatric and rehabilitation wards in Adelaide and Sydney, Australia. Interviews were audio recorded, transcribed, and coded by 2 researchers. A codebook was created and interviews were recoded and applied to the Framework Method of thematic analysis. Three domains were developed: diagnosing frailty, communicating about frailty, and managing frailty. Within these domains, 8 themes were identified: (1) diagnosing frailty has questionable benefits, (2) clinicians don't use frailty screening tools, (3) frailty can be diagnosed on appearance and history, (4) frailty has a stigma, (5) clinicians don't use the word "frail" with patients, (6) frailty isn't always reversible, (7) there is a lack of continuity of care after acute admission, and (8) the community setting lacks resources. Implementation of frailty guidelines will remain challenging while staff avoid using the term "frail," don't perceive benefit of using screening tools, and focus on the individual aspects of frailty rather than the syndrome holistically. Clinical champions and education about frailty identification, reversibility, management, and communication techniques may improve the implementation of frailty guidelines in hospitals.

Understanding the factors that influence CT utilization for mild traumatic brain injury in a low resource setting - a qualitative study using the Theoretical Domains Framework

IntroductionIn low resource settings (LRS), utilization of Computed Tomography scan (CTS) for mild traumatic brain injuries (mTBIs) presents unique challenges and considerations given the limited infrastructure, financial resources, and trained personnel. The Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF) offers a comprehensive theoretical lens to explore factors influencing the decision-making to order CTS for mTBI by imaging referrers (IRs). ObjectivesThe primary objective was to explore IRs’ beliefs about factors influencing CT utilization in mTBIs using TDF in Uganda.Differences in the factors influencing CTS ordering behavior across specialties, levels of experience, and hospital category were also explored. Materials and MethodsIn-depth semi-structured interviews guided by TDF were conducted among purposively selected IRs from 6 tertiary public and private hospitals with functional CTS services. A thematic analysis was performed with codes and emerging themes developed based on the TDF. ResultsEleven IRs including medical officers, non-neurosurgeon specialists and neurosurgeons aged on average 42 years (SD+/-12.3 years) participated.Identified factors within skills domain involved IRs’ clinical assessment and decision-making abilities, while beliefs about capabilities and consequences encompassed their confidence in diagnostic abilities and perceptions of CTS risks and benefits. The environmental context and resources domain addressed the availability of CT scanners and financial constraints. The knowledge domain elicited IRs’ understanding of clinical guidelines and evidence-based practices while social influences considered peer influence and institutional culture. For memory, attention & decision processes domain, IRs adherence to guidelines and intentions to order CT scans were cited. ConclusionUsing TDF, IRs identified several factors believed to influence decision making to order CTS in mTBI in a LRS. The findings can inform stakeholders to develop targeted strategies and evidence-based interventions to optimize CT utilization in mTBI such as; educational programs, workflow modifications, decision support tools, and infrastructure improvements, among others.

The Assessment of Residents’ Perception of Possible Benefits and Challenges of Home Vertical Gardens in Kigali, Rwanda

This paper aimed to provide a new insight into the application of home vertical gardens in Kigali, the capital of Rwanda, through a pre-assessment of the inhabitants’ perceptions. There are several studies that indicated the awareness of the way residents think about the potential benefits and challenges of home gardens could make a considerable difference in designing and implementing these gardens. The Likert-scaled questionnaire (n = 558) was employed to evaluate how residents perceive vertical gardens, and what issues concern them most. The findings revealed that dwellers are almost familiar with the vertical garden concept and its possible effects on urban environments. The respondents mostly regarded vertical gardens as nice spots to socialize, relax, and interact with nature, and an opportunity for beautification, and recreation by growing ornamental and edible plants. However, they were rather apprehensive about some issues, more importantly, the extra expenses, the complicated operation and maintenance, and the type of structure installed on walls. In conclusion, small-scale and low-cost vertical gardens with lightweight structures and easy-to-use technologies are more likely to encourage householders to embrace home gardens. It is recommended that the vertical garden projects should be integrated into the urban green network strategy, leading to facilitating the processes of decision-making and financing.

A latent class analysis of public perceptions about shared mobility barriers and benefits

The United States faces urban issues like congestion and pollution due to heavy car dependency, with over 91% owning cars and 87% driving to work. In response to these challenges, various shared mobility solutions have been integrated into transportation systems, encompassing bike-sharing, e-scooter sharing, and ride-hailing, but have not seen widespread adoption. To this end, this study investigates the perception of these services in the context of benefits and barriers. A survey was conducted in Indianapolis, Indiana and distributed online, gathering 424 responses. Latent class analysis (LCA) was used to determine groups of individuals with similar perceptions. The LCA identified three classes regarding perceptions of shared mobility benefits, and three others in relation to barriers. Regarding benefits, the classes include “Casual observers of benefits,” predominantly comprising older, less active females; “Benefits proponents,” featuring a majority of young, well-educated, higher-income males who prioritize health; and “Non-believers in benefits,” primarily consisting of older individuals, often identifying as black, with lower incomes and less active commuting. In terms of barriers, the classes are “Indifferent about barriers,” mainly comprising younger, lower-income individuals; “Shared mobility bystanders,” primarily characterized by older individuals with infrequent work commutes; and “Barrier conscious,” mostly including younger, well-educated, racially diverse individuals with complex commuting patterns. In both the benefits and barriers categories, the largest classes consist of individuals with neutral perspectives on shared mobility, signifying that a substantial portion of the population has not fully embraced these services. The study recommends policies to promote shared mobility to this significant population segment.

Analysis of the Utilization of Posbindu for Non-Communicable Diseases among the Elderly in the Region Kerja Public Health Center Kuta Krueng District of Pidie Jaya

The Integrated Development Post for Non-Communicable Diseases (Posbindu PTM) is one of the facilities that involves community participation in carrying out early detection and monitoring of NCD risk factors. Quantitative research with a cross-sectional approach. The population of all elderly people in the Kuta Krueng Health Center working area is 581 people. The sample was 85 people. The research results showed that 76.5% did not utilize Posbindu PTM. The research conclusion is that there is a relationship between family support (p-value 0.034), physical condition (p-value 0.016), perceived benefits (p-value 0.000), knowledge (p-value 0.004) and the use of Posbindu PTM. Efforts are needed to increase family support, improve physical condition, perception of benefits, and increase knowledge of elderly people about non-communicable diseases and efforts to prevent them
