ADHD를 가진 청소년의 수업방해 행동 및 부모와의 상호작용 개선을 위한 다중체계치료 사례 연구

Purpose: This study is a single-case study of multisystemic therapy focusing on the problems of classroom disruptive behavior, peer bullying, disobedience to teachers, and negative interactions with mother in a middle-school boy with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Methods: Treatment was conducted over a seven-month period with a team of two counselors and one supervisor. Home visits were conducted weekly and included parenting coaching for the mother, social skills training for the child, and monitoring of the reward system. The evaluation included behavioral observation (counselor, teacher), K-CBCL (Korean-Child Behavior Checklist), TRF (Teacher's Report Form), and Parenting Stress Index (PSI). The intervention focused on a behavioral therapeutic approach to identify and improve environmental factors that contribute to problem behaviors, and weekly supervision meetings were held. Results: First, classroom disruptive behavior, peer bullying, disobedience to teacher, and negative interactions with mother decreased. Second, compliance behaviors such as returning home before 10 p.m., going to bed at 12 p.m., waking up at 7 a.m., and speaking without anger increased. Third, there were positive changes in K-CBCL, TRF, and PSI. Conclusion: The effectiveness of multisystemic treatment for ADHD children with externalizing problem behaviors was confirmed. It is suggested that multisystemic therapy can be proposed as an alternative to individual counseling which has limited effects on externalizing problem behaviors.

Corruption and Public Service Delivery: Enforcement of Ethics to Curb Transgression in the Public Sector

The purpose of this paper is to illustrate corrupt practices in South African public sector and to recognize the critical need for ethical control to promote good governance. Since the advent of democracy in 1994, there has been a myriad of incidents of corruption involving public servants in South Africa. Corruption is now recognized as one of the South African government’s greatest challenge with numerous consequences for public service delivery in that the resources that are meant to assist the poor are diverted to benefit few corrupt officials. Corruption undermines democracy and social justice, thus, deepening poverty, increasing organized crime and stunting efforts to stimulate human security. The incidents of corruption characterized by colossal theft, embezzlements and rampant bribery are the basis of knowledge around the ability of the African National Congress (ANC) led government to deal effectively with dishonesty. The paper will use literature review to argue and demonstrate that despite the devotion by the ANC-led government to combat unethical conduct of public servants by formulating various pieces of legislation and policies as an attempt to address the problem of unethical behaviour; the tribulations of corruption and problems of immoral conduct by public servants continue to escalate, thus, perpetuating poor provision of public service. The paper concludes that continued unethical practices by public servants cannot go unpunished; ethics must be enforced to enhance public service delivery.

Следствие по делам о самоубийствах военнослужащих в 1930—1950-е годы

<p style="text-align: justify;">In the current conditions of aggravation of international conflicts, the study of the problems of suicidal behavior of military personnel is becoming more and more relevant. It is necessary to take into account the available historical experience in this matter. To date, there are no comprehensive studies on this topic. The purpose of the article is to identify the characteristic features of the investigation of suicide cases of servicemen in the 1930s - 1950s. The source base of the study was the unpublished documents of central and regional archives. The author relied on the interdisciplinary methodological approach developed in the works of P. Solomon. The article formulates the following conclusions. The Soviet criminal law provided responsibility for bringing to suicide or assisting suicide and attempted suicide. This norm was not a serious deterrent to suicidal behavior. In the 1930s-1950s there was some improvement in the formal indicators of investigations in these cases. Their quality remained at about the same level, which was evaluated low by higher authorities. The main reasons for this were the lack of incentives for military investigators and the lack of a judicial perspective on these cases.</p>

Modeling the dynamical behavior of the passenger-taxi queue matching problem at traffic hubs

Abstract Taxis are one of the most important modes of transport in major passenger traffic hubs. Due to the inherent unpredictability of passenger arrivals and their strong correlation with passenger arrival times, it often results in excessively long passenger queues if a large number of passengers arrive suddenly, or excessively long taxi queues at the other end if a few passengers arrive during the non-burst period at the taxi stand in the traffic hubs. In particular, when a sudden arrival of a large number of passengers fails to evacuate in a short period of time, followed by another burst in passenger arrivals, the service performance of the system deteriorates dramatically. In order to quantitatively analyze the dynamical queueing behavior of the passenger-taxi matching problem at transport hubs against the background of many uncertain factors, we propose a double-input matching model based on queueing theory, which covers basic practical elements, including time-varying arrivals of passengers and taxis, a randomly matched number of passengers, a random matching time, and multiple waiting queues. We determine the steady-state condition of the system, derive the steady-state queue length probability distributions of passengers and taxis, and further obtain the overall average queueing performance metrics of passengers and taxis and the dynamic queueing metrics over time. Numerical simulations examine the impact of the stochastic arrival process of passengers over a long period of time on the dynamical performance metrics of the system. In particular, for continuous and discontinuous bursty arrivals of passengers over a period of time, we clarify how the long queues caused by bursty arrivals of passengers dissipate at subsequent times and also examine the impact of variations in passenger arrival rates during a specific time period on queueing performance throughout the system.

Perilaku Inovatif Guru Melalui Kepemimpinan Transformasional, Knowledge Sharing, dan Kompetensi Digital

This study focuses on the problem of low innovative behavior of teachers that can hinder effective learning processes. The purpose of this study was to analyze the influence of transformational leadership, knowledge sharing, and digital competence on innovative behavior of teachers. The research method used was quantitative involving a sample of 143 teachers at the Nurul Iman Islamic Boarding School in Bogor. Data collection technique used an instrument with a Likert scale distributed to respondents, while inferential statistics were used to analyze the data. The results showed that there was a significant positive effect between transformational leadership and innovative behavior of teachers, where support and motivation from educational leaders contributed to increased creativity and innovation in teaching. In addition, knowledge sharing was shown to increase collaboration between teachers, while digital competence facilitated the application of technology in more innovative learning. The implications of these findings emphasize the importance of developing inspirational leadership and improving teachers' digital skills to create a more dynamic and responsive learning environment to students' needs. Thus, schools need to design training programs that focus on these aspects to support teacher professional development and improve the quality of education

Combining the Capability Approach and System Dynamics for Well‐Being Oriented Policy‐Making

ABSTRACTPolicymakers are increasingly focusing on well‐being. However, the development and ex‐ante assessment of well‐being science‐based policies are not widespread. The Capability Approach (CA) offers a theoretical framework for understanding well‐being and the policies aimed at its improvement. The CA does not provide means to analyse how well‐being evolves over time as a result of the complex interrelations between its constituent components. Additionally, the CA literature provides few analytical techniques for conducting ex‐ante policy evaluation. To overcome these challenges, we propose an approach that combines the CA with the System Dynamics (SD) methodology. The SD method uses modelling and simulation to create insights into the structure and behaviour of complex problems to support policy‐making. While SD is commonly used to examine well‐being issues, utilising well‐being frameworks like the CA is rare. In this paper, we explore both the theoretical and practical benefits of integrating the CA and SD for well‐being‐oriented policy‐making. To aid the practical application of the ideas presented in this paper, we present an illustrative example, a template for modellers, and outline a procedure for an integrated approach to developing well‐being‐oriented policies.

UNIQUENESS RESULTS BASED ON DELTA FRACTIONAL OPERATORS FOR CERTAIN BOUNDARY VALUE PROBLEMS

This paper primarily lies in presenting existence and uniqueness analysis of boundary fractional difference equations of a special Riemann–Liouville operators classes. To this end, we first develop Green’s function to the corresponding fractional boundary value problems and provide boundary conditions to find the constants. Then we study the existence of solutions and we examine the bounded of their solutions. Eventually, two numerical examples are given to demonstrate the efficiency and uniqueness behavior of the boundary value problem. Furthermore, such fractional problems can typically be converted to a direct fractional problem with certain boundary or initial conditions in transport in porous media.

Energy-saving Behavior and Households’ Practices in Prevention of Climate Change

The relevance of the problem of energy-saving behavior and the negative contribution of households to climate change is dictated by the need to reduce the burden on the environment. Based on a meta-analysis of scientific publications, an overview of modern behavioral approaches in this area is provided. Results of a survey of experts in the energy sector are presented. The conclusion is that the energy saving strategy is being implemented due to savings, with increasing dynamics of involvement, and the main barriers in this case are the technical limitations of households and economic investments in energy-efficient equipment. Waste management in households is associated with increased demands of citizens for comfortable infrastructure and the reluctance to create additional time costs. The same can be said about the use of personal transport, here the impediments are the desire to maintain mobility and save time. Key energy-saving strategies include reducing resource use, avoiding unsustainable practices and increasing environmental awareness. Institutional barriers to energy-saving behavior are identified: household infrastructure, which does not allow energy efficiency, lack of environmental culture and insufficient interaction between the authorities and the population. Knowledge about environmental problems and understanding the contribution of anthropogenic influence on climate change do not always guarantee the implementation of pro-environmental energy-saving practices. In-depth work to raise knowledge of environmental problems, introduce incentives, spread values and strengthen motivation is necessary.

Mengatasi Intoleransi Siswa Menggunakan Konseling Behavioristik Teknik Kontrak Perilaku Di SMAN 2 Bae Kudus

The aims of this study are: 1. To describe the factors that cause students at SMAN 2 Bae Kudus to have intolerance. 2. Overcoming student intolerance using behavioristic counseling with behavioral contract techniques at SMAN 2 Bae Kudus.The type of research used is guidance and counseling case studies with qualitative methods; the subjects studied were two students from SMAN 2 Bae Kudus. The methods used in this study are interviews, observation and documentation in an in-depth way so that later you can obtain accurate data about the problem under study, namely the problem of intolerance behavior. Based on the research results, it can be concluded that there are two factors that cause intolerance in students, namely internal factors and external factors. There are several factors that cause MF to behave intolerantly, namely not liking informatics lessons even with the teacher, feeling uncomfortable in class, and often talking to himself with his classmates or around his bench when the lesson is in progress. While the factors that cause JI to behave intolerantly are feeling bored with math lessons, not liking math lessons, sleeping during class, and playing on their own cellphones when lessons are in progress, Therefore, what makes MF and JI counselees behave intolerantly is not respecting and respecting others, not introspecting himself, not paying attention to and listening to his teacher, talking to himself and playing in class when lessons begin, and imposing the will of others. After carrying out individual counseling using a behavioristic approach, the counselee's behavior contract technique can eliminate his bad behavior and change it to a better one.

Asymptotic behavior of complete conformal metric near singular boundary

The boundary behavior of the singular Yamabe problem has been extensively studied near sufficiently smooth boundaries, while less is known about the asymptotic behavior of solutions near singular boundaries. In this paper, we study the asymptotic behaviors of solutions to the singular Yamabe problem with negative constant scalar curvature near singular boundaries and derive the optimal estimates for the background metric which is not necessarily conformally flat. In particular, we prove that the solutions are well approximated by the solutions in tangent cones at singular points on the boundaries.

Hostile behavior of the manager

The article examines the problem of hostile behavior of the manager, which is especially relevant for small businesses. The main attention is paid to the reasons for such behavior, its consequences and ways to minimize it. Hostile behavior is often associated with improper management and ineff ective communication, which is what we discuss in this article. To solve this problem, the following measures are proposed: a detailed description of processes and tasks, demonstration of task completion, control and adjustment of employee work.

Asymptotic analysis of sign-changing transmission problems with rapidly oscillating interface

We study the asymptotic behavior of a sign-changing transmission problem, stated in a symmetric oscillating domain obtained by gluing together a positive and a negative material, separated by an imperfect and rapidly oscillating interface. The interface separating the two heterogeneous materials has a periodic microstructure and is a small perturbation of a flat interface. The solution of the transmission problem is continuous and its flux has a jump on the oscillating interface. Under certain conditions on the properties of the two materials, we derive the limit problem and we prove the convergence result. The T-coercivity method is used to handle the lack of coercivity for both the microscopic and the macroscopic limit problems.

Manifestation of Anxiety in People with an Addictive (Alcoholic) Form of Behavior

The focus of this article is on the problem of addictive behavior, namely, the psychological characteristics of a person with alcohol dependence. The aim is to analyze and generalize the factors that contribute to the formation of addictive behavior and to highlight the socio-psychological nature of this dependence in relation to anxiety. A number of important psychological and pedagogical issues regarding the factors contributing to the formation of this form of behavior are considered. The features that help to understand and uncover the mechanisms of their action are also considered. It is pointed out that in the study of the personality of people with alcohol dependence, one of the dominant points of view is the phenomenon of anxiety. The researchers' interest is focused on understanding the nature of anxiety as a trigger. The psychology of anxiety is considered as an individually psychological feature of a person who is in one or another difficult situation for him. Recognizing the complexity of studying the personality of people with alcohol dependence, it emphasizes such characteristic features for the majority as short temper, lack of compromise, intolerance to the opinions of others, resentment, a tendency to revenge, a high level of conflict. It is impossible not to pay attention to the fact that there is a contradictory character in the conclusions about the ratio of primary and secondary anxiety and alcohol consumption as two mutually determining factors. An attempt is made to explain this discrepancy based on research. The different types of work significantly enrich our understanding of this phenomenon. Studies have shown that this category of people has a higher level of situational and personal anxiety. The revealed nature of the relationship indicates the peculiarities of conflict in this category. The data obtained show an example of traits that are interrelated with it.

Aggressive bullying-type behaviour: approaches, characteristics, consequences

In this article, the problem of aggressive bullying behavior is addressed. The approach is based on the analysis of international policies in the field of preventing and reducing aggressiveness and violence in educational institutions promoted by the UN, the Council of Europe, UNICEF, etc. Emphasis is placed on the definition and characterization of key notions regarding the targeted issue: aggressiveness, violence, bullying and others. The consequences of aggressiveness and bullying-type aggressiveness in school are also extensively argued: psycho-physiological plane, psycho-somatic plane, including mental health, educational and school performance plane, legal norm plane. Some results of the express study on the manifestation of aggressive behavior by lyceum students: student-student, studentteacher, teacher-student and their involvement in acts of violence are also presented. The data obtained are commented on and corrective conclusions and general suggestions are made to prevent and reduce the phenomenon of aggressiveness and bullying-type aggressiveness.

Controllability and Optimal Fast Operation of Nonlinear Systems

A new method for solving the problem of controllability and optimal transient behavior of nonlinear systems subject to boundary conditions and constraints on control values was proposed. Unlike existing methods, this new approach is based on constructing a general solution of the integral equation for a linear controlled system, followed by transforming the original problem into a special initial optimal control problem. We propose a new method for studying the global asymptotic stability of dynamical systems with a cylindrical phase space with a countable equilibrium position based on a non-singular transformation of the equation of motion and estimation of improper integrals along the solution of the system. Conditions for global asymptotic stability were obtained without involving any periodic Lyapunov function, as well as the frequency theorem. The effectiveness of the proposed method is shown with an example.

The Schwinger pair production method in the framework of non-commutative phase space coordinates and its applications

In noncommutative phase space (NCPS), we investigate the pair creation rate for the problem of scalar and spinorial particles emerging from a vacuum under the influence of uniform external electromagnetic fields using the Schwinger formal technique. It is demonstrated that under specific conditions, where the speed of light c approaches the Fermi velocity [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] (with [Formula: see text] representing the cyclotron frequency), the behavior of the Dirac oscillator problem in a uniform electromagnetic field within NCPS is akin to the monolayer graphene problem in NCPS. In addition, the production probability per unit volume per unit time is discussed, along with the limits of parameter deformations.

Interpregnancy intervals and behavioural outcomes in children: A population-based longitudinal study

BackgroundWhile the physical health consequence of short interpregnancy intervals (IPIs) is well documented, its mental health impact is not well explored. This study aimed to examine the associations between IPIs and behavioural outcomes in children born following the interval at four developmental time points between ages 7 and 16. MethodsOur study sample comprised participants in the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC) cohort, an ongoing population-based longitudinal birth cohort in Bristol, Avon, United Kingdom. Behavioural problems, including total behavioural difficulties, hyperactivity, emotional symptoms, conduct problems, peer-problems, and problems of pro-social behaviour, were assessed using the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ). Over 2300 mothers and their singleton children were included in this study. Generalized Estimating Equations (GEE) were used to estimate odds ratios for the associations. ResultsChildren born to mothers with short IPI (<6 months) were 1.54 (95%CI: 1.12–2.11), 1.42 (95% CI: 1.12–1.81) and 1.37 (95%CI: 1.04–1.79) times more likely to have total behavioural difficulties, conduct problems and hyperactivity/inattention problems across the child's age, respectively, compared with children of mothers with IPIs of 18–23 months. We found no evidence of associations between short IPI (<6 months) and emotional symptoms, peer-relationship problems and pro-social behaviour problems. ConclusionShort IPI (<6 months) was associated with externalising (conduct and hyperactivity/inattention) but not internalising (emotional and peer-relationship problems) problems. Further studies are needed to confirm this association and elucidate the underlying mechanisms.
