Two Sides of a Coin: A Crisis Response Perspective on Tourist Community Participation in a Post-Disaster Environment.

This study investigates the attitudes and behavioural intentions of community crisis response and tourism community participation in tourist destinations after the occurrence of a disaster. Further, we built a conceptual model of perceived community participation benefit, community attachment, community resilience, and crisis response and community participation intention and measured it using 556 samples surveyed after the Wenchuan earthquake, China. The results indicated that benefit perception, community attachment, and community resilience have a positive effect on crisis response and community participation. The study further reveals that the local tourism community gradually transforms the negative aspects of terrible disasters into development opportunities. Our case study particularly focuses on the initiative shown by and positive participation of the tourist community in the aforementioned transformation. The study proposes the Attachment, Benefit, and Capability framework of tourist community participation based on the crisis response perspective and expands the boundaries of tourist community participation research. The study has theoretical and practical significance, puts forward relevant countermeasures, and has significant implications.

Objetivo: o trabalho visa estabelecer ligações entre os elementos de sustentação da cocriação de valor e da intenção de recompra, por meio de alguns antecedentes como a confiança, comprometimento e satisfação.Metodologia/abordagem: por meio de uma reflexão teórica, o modelo de gerenciamento de cocriação de valor proposto por Payne, Storbacka Frow (2008) e o modelo DART de Prahalad Ramaswamy (2004) são revisitados, enfatizando os pontos de interação entre fornecedores e clientes e os elementos de sustentação da cocriação de valor.Principais resultados: a ligação entre os elementos de sustentação da cocriação de valor e antecedentes da intenção de recompra é explicitada em umframework conceitual, evidenciando as relações entre os temas, efetivadas por construtos como confiança, compromisso e fortes relacionamentos.Contribuições teóricas: a participação positiva dos elementos de sustentação da cocriação de valor para com os antecedentes da intenção de recompra fica evidenciada por meio da contribuição do modelo DART para a aprendizagem conjunta e interações personalizadas.Relevância/originalidade: na medida em que não foram identificados estudos anteriores unindo conceitualmente estes dois temas, comumente tratados separadamente, o presente trabalho esclarece como os mecanismos de interação típicos dos processos de cocriação de valor poderiam ajudar a explicar a intenção de recompra por meio de alguns de seus antecedentes.

Consumer responses to front-of-package labeling in the presence of information spillovers

Voluntary nutrition labeling, a means of nutrition quality disclosure, was introduced in the U.S. over the last decade by leading food manufacturers, primarily in the form of front-of-package (FOP) labeling. This article examines how consumer responses to FOP labeling via product participation and information spillovers shift consumer demand across competing products. Applying a random coefficient logit demand model to sales data from the U.S. ready-to-eat cereal market (RTEC) empirically confirms a positive participation effect of FOP and a strong negative spillover effect on non-participating products. Further results indicate that the participation and spillover effects are stronger for healthy RTECs than they are for unhealthy ones. Moreover, ignoring such effects leads to underestimation of consumer valuation of FOP labeling for participating products, higher own-price elasticities of demand and lower price-cost margins. The findings also suggest that an incentive in a firm’s voluntary participation in self-regulated labeling programs is to avoid negative treatment externalities and that less health-conscious consumers are not influenced by spillover effects. Overall, this article highlights the importance of including spillover effects in the evaluation of FOP programs and that FOP can play a positive role in improving the healthfulness of consumer choices.

Civic participation and connectivity with a metro newspaper

A survey of people in the market distribution area of the Florida Times-Union (T-U) showed that amount of exposure to the newspaper indirectly predicted positive attitudes about civic participation and civic participation behaviors such as volunteering and religious activities, as mediated through connectivity with the T-U and news interest. Online and offline communication were also directly related to positive civic participation attitudes and indirectly to community volunteering and religious activities.

Being an Involved Father: What Does It Mean?

It seems that more and more folks are sharing the message that fathers should be more involved in caring for their children. You may hear this message on TV, on the radio, where you worship, at school, at meetings, at work, and, especially, at home. Father involvement is defined as, men's “positive, wide-ranging, and active participation in their children's lives” (Marsiglio et al., 2000, p. 276).

Meningkatkan Nilai Mutu Pakan Pada Kelompok Ternak Melalui PKM Di Kecamatan Manuju Kabupaten Gowa Propinsi Sulawesi Selatan

The purpose of the Community Partnership Program (PKM) program this time were to provided skills to the Tanah Adat and Ngangang Baku livestock groups in Manuju District, Gowa Regency, South Sulawesi Province. The disseminated technology, among others, utilizes bran ammonia as a high protein feed source for poultry, and the manufacture of silage technique feed by utilizing agricultural waste. The Tanah Adat and Ngangang Baku farmer groups are farmers' farmer groups which each member of the farmer group maintains poultry in addition to having large livestock. The problem faced by partners is that the maintenance system is still extensive, the low production is due to the problem of availability of feed with quality that is in line with the needs of livestock, the partners have not been able to utilize local natural resources as feed ingredients. The solutions offered include fulfilling the nutritional needs of livestock by utilizing local resources through the introduction of simple feed processing technology so that farmers can make their own feed and are not dependent on concentrate feed or only use feed without processing. Through this activity, it is expected that farmers and agricultural extension workers will work together to learn to utilize the available local resources into high-yield food. Methods of conducting socialization, training and demonstrations for members of farmer groups as well as mentoring to monitor the development and productivity of post-activity livestock. The results obtained by tabulating the questionnaire given showed that almost all members of the breeders group did not recognize alternative high protein sources and silage techniques. Farmer groups want guidance on an ongoing basis, given the lack of knowledge of breeders and the introduction of technology. Overall the results obtained were very positive responses and active participation from members of the livestock group.

Long-term participation 7-8 years after stroke: Experiences of people in working-age.

ObjectiveTo enhance the understanding of long-term participation in working-aged people 7–8 years after stroke.MethodsThis study had a qualitative design, using a thematic analysis methodology. Eleven individuals took part in an in depth interview 7–8 years after a first time stroke. They had received care at the Sahlgrenska University Hospital in Gothenburg, and were recruited as a heterogenic sample with respect to age, gender, stroke severity and subtype.ResultsFrom the participants’ experiences four themes emerged: “Returning to work after stroke”; “Working life 7–8 years after stroke”; “Social life 7–8 years after stroke”; and “A state of reorientation in life”. Quotes about experienced participation in everyday life were summarized and presented as “Participation after stroke narratives”. Participants chose to emphasize on work- and social life when describing situations of successful participation. Being included in the wider community and having a sense of purpose, when interacting with others, were factors that these narratives had in common. Participants had gradually become accustomed to a somewhat altered life situation. Some consequences after stroke were still considered frustrating in social or work situations. However, the importance of these issues had reduced and were no longer problematized.ConclusionsParticipants felt content with their everyday life in general, which was a principal and positive result of this study. Reaching a stage of acceptance seemed to be a complex and continuous struggle, and an individual approach in long-term rehabilitation would be valuable to support this personal process. More knowledge about what factors that facilitate participation in people of working-age many years after stroke is needed, so that more people can reach a state of positive identity and participation.

Examining the role of sense of community: Linking local government public relationships and community-building

This study examines the relationship between factors central to community building, including local government-public relationships, sense of community, positive Word-of-Mouth (WOM) toward community, and community participation. A national survey of U.S. respondents (n = 447) was conducted through MTurk. The results indicate that the effects of local government-public relationships on positive WOM and community participation are mediated by individuals’ sense of community. This study advances the relationship-management scholarship by demonstrating that managing government-public relationships is ineffective in community-building when a sense of community is absent. In addition, the results of this study may benefit government public relations practitioners who are interested in public engagement.

Inside Out Literacies

Since 1997, adult literacy education has been of increasing interest to UK policy makers amid perceptions/claims of a causal relationship between attainment in literacy and positive economic participation, social inclusion, and life chance transformation. However, research in the field of literacy studies suggests that many prisoners who identify as beginner readers, report feeling alienated by formal education failing to take sufficient account of the social identities learners bring to their learning or how they want to use literacy to bring about change in their lives. This has resulted in deficit models of the prisoner as learner that impose ‘spoiled educational identities' and fail to engage prisoners as active, agentic participants in their learning. In this article, the authors draw on data produced in the qualitative phase of a year-long study across the English prison estate of Shannon Trust's prison-based reading plan, to explore alternative approaches to prison literacy education that challenge the traditions of formal education and put learner identity and aspiration at the heart of the beginner reader learning process. The qualitative phase of the project involved twelve focus groups across eight prison settings and included 20 learner, and 37 mentor participants engaged in the Shannon Trust peer-reading programme. The authors listen closely to the voices of learners and mentors describing their experiences of peer to peer learning and plug in Anita Wilson's concepts of educentricity and third space literacies to read participants' experiences of formal and informal literacy education. They make use of this analysis to identify and describe a ‘grounded pedagogy' approach that pays attention to learning as social practice and enables prisoners to re-imagine themselves both as learners and social actors and to begin to connect their learning to self-directed desistence identity building. The authors conclude with a consideration of the implications of this work for prison literacy teaching and the potential role of grounded pedagogy ideas in the development of more provocative approaches to prison teacher education.

Male Involvement in Family Planning: An Integrative Review

Purpose: The purpose of this review was to identify evidence about determinants of male engagement in family planning. Methods: An integrative review was used to assess the determinants of male engagement in family planning. Data search was between 2014 and 2019 using Google Scholar, Scopus, Web of Science, Science Direct, Pub Med, Medline, CINAHL, EBSCO, Cochrane, and EBSCO host. A total of 14 articles met the eligibility criteria. Results: The fourteen reviewed articles were adopted with mixed method designs, randomized controlled trial, quazi-experimental, and survey. Themes were: determinant of male engagement in family planning, women perception of male enrolment in family planning, and methods to enhance male use of family planning. Conclusion: Religion, large family size, culture, fear of side effect, access and exposure to information, attitudes, norms and self-efficacy and interaction with a health care provider are determinants of male involvement in family planning use. Interventional programs by health care providers and intensive education to men will positively increase prevalence of family planning use. It’s recommended to involve religious leaders in education. Implication: More attention is needed at community and governmental level to identify strategies to promote gender equity, shared decision making, shared responsibility and positive participation of men, empowering women, and to increase effectiveness of male participation.

Effectiveness of Local People's Perception on Ecotourism Participation in Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park, Indonesia

Support of local people is important things regarding successful ecotourism management. Ranu Pani is located in Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park (BTSNP), Indonesia. This study aims was to examine how residents’ views and the relationship between perception, attitude, communication and participation on ecotourism. A questionnaire survey was conducted to get the data. For analyzing data, it used regression analysis through SPSS. The results showed that there was a relationship between positive perception, communication and participation. Most of respondents agreed ecotourism would like to improve attractiveness of the community, and raise incomes. Regarding communication, residents would like to give information and feel happy when visitors asking them about their nature and culture. Regarding attitude, most of respondents supported with national park management. However, they were only 58.7% satisfied with development of national park. Therefore, the authority should improve their capacity to provide more employment opportunities and to escalate residents-national park relationship.

News and Participation through and beyond Proprietary Platforms in an Age of Social Media

The link between journalism and participation has since long been envisioned and argued to be an important one. However, it is also a complex link. It encompasses how the news media and their social actors actively work towards enabling and engaging citizens as active participants through the digital infrastructures of their proprietary platforms, as well as the ways citizens potentially make use of such opportunities or not in their everyday lives, and how this affects epistemologies of news journalism. However, to date, journalism studies scholars have mostly focused on positive forms of participatory journalism via proprietary platforms, and thus fail to account for and problematize dark participation and participation taking place on social media platforms non-proprietary to the news media. This introduction, and the thematic issue as a whole, attempts to address this void. The introduction discusses three key aspects of journalism’s relationship with participation: 1) proprietary or non-proprietary platforms, 2) participants, and 3) positive or dark participation.

A Meta-Analysis of Interventions to Promote Self-Determination for Students With Disabilities

Promoting self-determination is critical to enabling young people to achieve education-related goals and positive postschool employment, community participation, and quality of life outcomes. By developing skills associated with self-determination such as choice-making, decision-making, problem solving, goal setting and attainment, planning, self-management, self-advocacy, self-awareness, and self-knowledge, students with disabilities are better prepared to make purposeful decisions and choices. We conducted a meta-analysis of the literature on interventions to promote self-determination and associated skills with students with disabilities in the school context. We analyzed the types of interventions, populations of students with whom they were implemented, outcomes, and rigor of research. Results demonstrated that interventions to promote self-determination can be effective for students across grade levels, disability labels, and settings. There remains a need for increased focus on promoting self-determination within inclusive, general education settings with students with and without disabilities and of diverse backgrounds. Future researchers should also focus on the rigor of methodological design and associated reporting when conducting school-based research. Additional implications for research and practice are discussed.

Microswitch-Cluster Technology for Promoting Occupation and Reducing Hand Biting of Six Adolescents with Fragile X Syndrome: New Evidence and Social Rating

We further extended the use of microswitch-cluster technology for promoting occupational activities and reducing hand biting of six adolescents with fragile X syndrome and severe to profound developmental disabilities. The primary rehabilitative goal was to enhance the adaptive response (i.e., inserting three different objects in the three containers within a 4 s time interval). The secondary objective was to evaluate the effects of the intervention on indices of positive participation as outcome measure of the participants ‘quality of life. Finally, a social validation assessment involving sixty-six external raters was conducted. The study was carried out according to an ABB1AB1 experimental sequence for each participant. Thus, A indicated baselines, B indicated the intervention focused on promoting the adaptive response irrespective of the challenging behavior, and B1 indicated the cluster phases with the provision of positive stimulation only if the adaptive response was exhibited with the absence of the challenging behavior. A one-year follow-up was implemented. Results showed an improved performance for all the participants, which was maintained over the time. Indices of positive participation increased as well. Social raters favorably scored the use of the microswitch-cluster technology. Clinical, educational, psychological, and rehabilitative implications of the findings were critically discussed.

What do Dutch general education teachers do to facilitate the social participation of students with SEBD?

ABSTRACT Few studies have addressed the daily practice of applied teacher strategies aimed at facilitating the social participation of students with social-emotional problems or behavioural difficulties (SEBD). In this paper, we present two interlinked studies that address this topic. The main study reports on the development of the Teacher Strategy Questionnaire on Social Participation in the Classroom (TSQ-SPC). We tested the questionnaire’s construct validity by performing a second-order confirmatory factor analysis. The follow-up study presents the results of a survey of 163 Dutch general primary education teachers of inclusive classes using a modified version of the TSQ-SPC. It provides insights on the strategies that teachers apply in their daily practice to facilitate positive social participation of students with SEBD. The findings of both studies suggest that general primary education teachers apply a limited repertoire of strategies. Accordingly, there is an urgent need for further research focusing on the development of interventions and revisions of the pre- and in-service teacher development curricula aimed at adequately supporting and preparing general education teachers.

Comportamento Político nas Organizações: Mecanismos de Intervenção

O objetivo deste estudo é identificar a percepção de executivos brasileiros sobre as formas de comportamento político nas organizações e mecanismos de intervenção correlatos. O bem estar da organização depende de como seus executivos se comportam politicamente, ao ampliarem os efeitos positivos ou reduzirem os efeitos negativos da política na organização. Para atendimento do objetivo de pesquisa, foi realizado um levantamento com 110 respondentes, com o uso de perguntas abertas. Utilizou-se análise de conteúdo, como técnica de análise de dados para a definição e ranqueamento das categorias levantadas. Como resultado, a pesquisa aponta para uma visão menos negativa dos respondentes sobre o conceito de comportamento político, quando comparada à literatura. A principal contribuição gerencial se concentra na discussão sobre mecanismos de intervenção nas organizações que promovam uma dinâmica do comportamento político favorável aos objetivos organizacionais. As intervenções mais citadas são: para reduzir os efeitos negativos, definição de regras, controles e ações punitivas; para ampliar os efeitos positivos, alinhamento, participação, liderança ética, cultura e desenvolvimento de capital humano. Do ponto de vista acadêmico, amplia-se a discussão dos efeitos positivos do comportamento político e apresentam-se mecanismos de intervenção para pesquisas futuras sobre política nas organizações.
