Principals Leadership in Improving Students Entrepreneurial Competence

The problem of imbalance between the number of labor force growth and available jobs is a seriousconcern in the context of education and economic development today. The phenomenon where the number of Vocational High School (SMK) graduates continues to grow but their ability to become entrepreneurs or create new jobs is still minimal highlights the importance of effective entrepreneurship education. Currently, entrepreneurship education in schools tends to only touch the surface, focusing on introducing entrepreneurial values, without giving emphasis on internalizing these values or encouraging real actions in daily life. Based on these problems, this paper will discuss how the principal's leadership and how the principal's leadership strategy in improving student entrepreneurship in SMK. The research process using literature study begins with the identification of the topic or research question to be researched. After that, researchers search for related literature through various sources of information such as libraries, online databases, and electronic journals. With great responsibility, school principals are responsible for the implementation of learning activities that can ultimately improve existing graduates, especially in the field of entrepreneurship. In line with this, some of the strategies that can be carried out by school principals in improving student entrepreneurial competence are by creating innovation, working hard in improving school quality, motivation, never giving up, and having entrepreneurial instincts.

The research concluded that the government should select capable principals who can work closely with educators to accomplish school goals and implement quality management practices.

Regional CCUS strategies in the context of a fully decarbonized society

Global strategies to combat climate change must be implemented through actions at the local level. The complexity and interconnection of the global challenges are, however, difficult to interpret at the local level. This requires enhanced collaboration and coordination together with a shared understanding of the interconnected nature of our energy systems and the strategies that shape them. Global, international, and national strategies for carbon capture utilization and storage (CCUS) have emerged in recent years as carbon is increasingly outlined as a key element in the future energy system. This emphasizes CCUS strategies as an important part of a transition toward a fully decarbonized society. Therefore, principal strategies for CCUS and the energy system need to be coordinated and translated following a spatiotemporal assessment to enable meaningful actions at the local level. This article applies a regional perspective, in which a regional energy system model seeks to bridge the gap between national and local energy planning. The regional energy system is developed as part of an overarching national scenario for the transition towards a fully decarbonized society. This context provides a national boundary shaped by a global ceiling to provide a meaningful and adequate framework for regional and local development in the future. The overarching national scenario frames the potentials and constraints of the regional energy system and CCUS strategies as part of a global transition while enabling investigations of potential ramifications from changes in national objectives. The analysis in the article uses the North Denmark Region as a case and investigates scenarios in which the region assumes various roles as a contributor to the national transition. The results indicate a need for more interactive and dynamic energy planning and CCUS strategies to comprehend possible impacts from the various roles and changes in the national objectives. This article suggests that spatial and temporal awareness at the regional level of CCUS strategies as part of a future fully decarbonized society is key to creating a meaningful context for local actions today.

Anthropogenic Drivers of Floods and Household Adaptations Across the Coastal Wetland Areas of Limbe and Douala IV Municipalities, Cameroon

Many coastal wetland areas are experiencing the impacts of accelerated and episodic floods on the built environment and people’s livelihoods. This work examined the anthropogenic drivers of floods and household adaptations in Limbe and Douala IV Municipalities-Cameroon. Data was generated from primary and secondary sources and analysed using Statistical Package for Social Science version 26. Findings revealed that areas between 1-5m such as Clark’s Quarter, Down Beach, Mabanda and Ndobo witnessed severe floods. There was a statistically significant relationship between poor drainage facilities, haphazard settlement construction, blockage of drains by refuge and severe coastal flooding with probabilities values of (0.00582**, 0.0001*** and 0.0888*) respectively. Construction on raised foundation (p = 0.0439**), raising bed higher above the floor (p = 0.0370**), placement of valuable items above the floor (p = 0.0613*) and seasonal migration (p=0. 177) were principal informal adaptation strategies to floods. This study recommends proper land use planning by stakeholders.

An Investigation of AI-Enabled Comprehensive Survey of Phishing Attacks detection techniques

Phishing is an online criminal activity which traps regular online customers to reveal their sensitive information into fake destinations by disguising themselves as original website. Because of the short life expectancy of phishing sites and the fast progression of phishing systems the current anti- phishing solutions are either unfit to manage the rising changes or in fit for assuming a successful part against this attack.Natural language handling and machine learning – these are the centre usage of the multi-stage approach proposed to identify phishing attacks and to perceive the substance/association that has been misused by the attackers to execute the phishing attacks. In this technique the primary stage is the revelation of named elements (names of areas, individuals and associations) and afterward the disclosure of concealed topics and for this the strategies that backings both phishing and non-phishing information therefore, Conditional Random Field (CRF) and Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) is utilized. Next stage is the AdaBoost arrange where the named elements and the concealed subjects are dealt as features and the messages are ordered into phishing or non-phishing. proposed techniques are planned to alleviate the effect of phishing attack. The principal strategy proposes is to identify Wi-Fi phishing utilizing Association Rule mining. A Wi-Fi hotspot which associates such hand held gadgets has turned into a transitory archive of delicate data, in this way giving an open door for programmers to gather money related gain .Consequently data security arrangements tending to Wi-Fi hotspots (Wi-Fi phishing attack) has turned into the need of great importance. The conceivable approaches to attack the security of Wi-Fi hotspots and counter-attack methodologies have been tended to in this strategy. Key works: Phishing, LDA,AI

Preworkout dietary nitrate magnifies training-induced benefits to physical function in late postmenopausal women: a randomized pilot study.

To inform end points for future work, we explored the utility of preworkout (i.e., an acute dose before training) beetroot juice (BRJ) combined with exercise (BRJ + EX) to augment indices of physical function in postmenopausal women compared with exercise only (EX). A two-arm pilot study was used to compare 24 postmenopausal women following an 8-wk, circuit-based exercise intervention. Participants were randomized to BRJ + EX (n = 12) or EX (n = 12). BRJ + EX participants consumed 140 mL of BRJ 120-180 min (only) before training for 7 wk, then discontinued during the final week to mitigate carryover effects. Physical function indices were 6-min walk test (6MWT), estimated V̇o2peak, heart rate recovery (HRR), and maximal knee extensor power (Pmax). A treadmill task was used to measure V̇o2 on-kinetics wherein mean response time (MRT) coincided with the duration to reach 63% of steady-state V̇o2. Results showed greater changes (Δ) among BRJ + EX participants for 6MWT distance (40 ± 23 m vs. 8 ± 25 m; P = 0.003, d = 1.35), ΔV̇o2peak (1.5 ± 0.9 mL·kg-1·min-1 vs. 0.3 ± 1.0 mL·kg-1·min-1; P = 0.008, d = 1.20), and ΔHRR (-10 ± 6 beats/min vs. -1 ± 9 beats/min; P = 0.017, d = 1.05). Large and medium effect sizes favoring BRJ + EX were detected for ΔPmax (P = 0.07, d = 0.83) and ΔMRT (P = 0.257, d = 0.50), respectively. In postmenopausal women, BRJ + EX appears to magnify some adaptive benefits to physical function including aerobic capacity and recovery beyond that of training without BRJ. Investigation into contributing mechanisms is needed.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Though exercise training represents the principal strategy to combat age-related decline, the attendant effects of menopause weaken aspects of exercise adaptation compared with premenopausal women and age-matched men. Here we provide important initial evidence that preworkout (i.e., an acute dose before training) beetroot juice coupled with an 8-wk, circuit-based exercise training intervention may uniquely benefit late postmenopausal women by enhancing indices of physical function including aerobic capacity and recovery.

User engagement in clinical trials of digital mental health interventions: a systematic review

IntroductionDigital mental health interventions (DMHIs) overcome traditional barriers enabling wider access to mental health support and allowing individuals to manage their treatment. How individuals engage with DMHIs impacts the intervention effect. This review determined whether the impact of user engagement was assessed in the intervention effect in Randomised Controlled Trials (RCTs) evaluating DMHIs targeting common mental disorders (CMDs).MethodsThis systematic review was registered on Prospero (CRD42021249503). RCTs published between 01/01/2016 and 17/09/2021 were included if evaluated DMHIs were delivered by app or website; targeted patients with a CMD without non-CMD comorbidities (e.g., diabetes); and were self-guided. Databases searched: Medline; PsycInfo; Embase; and CENTRAL. All data was double extracted. A meta-analysis compared intervention effect estimates when accounting for engagement and when engagement was ignored.ResultsWe identified 184 articles randomising 43,529 participants. Interventions were delivered predominantly via websites (145, 78.8%) and 140 (76.1%) articles reported engagement data. All primary analyses adopted treatment policy strategies, ignoring engagement levels. Only 19 (10.3%) articles provided additional intervention effect estimates accounting for user engagement: 2 (10.5%) conducted a complier-average-causal effect (CACE) analysis (principal stratum strategy) and 17 (89.5%) used a less-preferred per-protocol (PP) population excluding individuals failing to meet engagement criteria (estimand strategies unclear). Meta-analysis for PP estimates, when accounting for user engagement, changed the standardised effect to -0.18 95% CI (-0.32, -0.04) from − 0.14 95% CI (-0.24, -0.03) and sample sizes reduced by 33% decreasing precision, whereas meta-analysis for CACE estimates were − 0.19 95% CI (-0.42, 0.03) from − 0.16 95% CI (-0.38, 0.06) with no sample size decrease and less impact on precision.DiscussionMany articles report user engagement metrics but few assessed the impact on the intervention effect missing opportunities to answer important patient centred questions for how well DMHIs work for engaged users. Defining engagement in this area is complex, more research is needed to obtain ways to categorise this into groups. However, the majority that considered engagement in analysis used approaches most likely to induce bias.
