The importance of teaching self-control to adolescents in the age of artificial intelligence

The technological society has reconfigured the current environment, generating new needs and changing the motivations of contemporary humans. In this context, self-control is one of the essential abilities that can contribute to an active adaptation, on one hand, and to the development of psychological resilience to the speed at which technological evolution influences life, on the other. Starting from a brief presentation of both the ideological roots of conceptions about the perfect society, as well as the scientific sources of artificial intelligence, the article addresses the theme of education adapted to the new trends of technologizing the personal, professional, and social environment and emphasizes the necessity for the educational environment (family, school, civil society) to synergistically contribute to the optimization of self-control in order to form a younger generation that is self-aware and active in the process of making informed decisions.

The "Dry-Lab" Side of Food Authentication: Benchmark of Bioinformatic Pipelines for the Analysis of Metabarcoding Data.

Next Generation Sequencing Technologies (NGS), particularly metabarcoding, are valuable tools for authenticating foodstuffs and detecting eventual fraudulent practices such as species substitution. This technique, mostly used for the analysis of prokaryotes in several environments (including food), is in fact increasingly applied to identify eukaryotes (e.g., fish, mammals, avian, etc.) in multispecies food products. Besides the "wet-lab" procedures (e.g., DNA extraction, PCR, amplicon purification, etc.), the metabarcoding workflow includes a final "dry-lab" phase in which sequencing data are analyzed using a bioinformatic pipeline (BP). BPs play a crucial role in the accuracy, reliability, and interpretability of the metabarcoding results. Choosing the most suitable BP for the analysis of metabarcoding data could be challenging because it might require greater informatics skills than those needed in standard molecular analysis. To date, studies comparing BPs for metabarcoding data analysis in foodstuff authentication are scarce. In this study, we compared the data obtained from two previous studies in which fish burgers and insect-based products were authenticated using a customizable, ASV-based, and command-line interface BP (BP1) by analyzing the same data with a customizable but OTU-based and graphical user interface BP (BP2). The final sample compositions were compared statistically. No significant difference in sample compositions was highlighted by applying BP1 and BP2. However, BP1 was considered as more user-friendly than BP2 with respect to data analysis streamlining, cost of analysis, and computational time consumption. This study can provide useful information for researchers approaching the bioinformatic analysis of metabarcoding data for the first time. In the field of food authentication, an effective and efficient use of BPs could be especially useful in the context of official controls performed by the Competent Authorities and companies' self-control in order to detect species substitution and counterfeit frauds.

Peran Guru Pendidikan Agama Islam Dalam Mengembangkan Self-Control Siswa Kelas VIII SMPI At-Tablighiyah Desa Ponjanan Timur Kecamatan Batumarmar, Pamekasan

This study aims to examine and understand more deeply the existence of the role of PAI teachers in developing students' self-control in order to be able to regulate and direct and counteract all forms of behavior that have the potential to bring negative currents that are at odds with the standards of ethical and moral norms in establishing socialized interactions so that they are agile in predicting well at any time obstacle factors arise affecting unwanted intrusive behavior to be faced and align themselves psychologically and physically in actual conditions with the availability of supporting elements in providing understanding of knowledge, appreciation and experience so that students become adolescents who continue to develop in terms of faith and devotion. This research uses a qualitative approach of case study type by involving PAI teachers, 8th grade students and school principals as key informants.Data was gathered through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results showed that efforts in the role of Islamic religious education teachers to develop student self-control through revamping the seating model of innovative learning group discussions, educating with exemplary values, inviting active communication, providing motivation and appreciation, fostering and guiding with a disciplined attitude and establishing cooperation with the principal through giving responsibility to students and providing personal guidance services by utilizing the availability of adequate facilities and infrastructure and the principal's participation in optimizing religious activities through the cooperation of parents in monthly meeting activities to anticipate students who are difficult to work with and lack of parental attention and affection and the influence of mass media is expected to foster good self-control in self-implementation and daily life.

The Effect of Self-Regulated Learning Dimensions on Self-Efficacy among University Students

AbstractThe purpose of the present study was to explore various dimensions of self-regulated learning namely; self-awareness, Planning and goal setting, self-motivation, self-control, self-evaluation as well as self-modification and their impact on general self-efficacy among English as foreign Language university learners (EFL) of Afghanistan. One hundred eighty Students (105 males and 75 females) studying at four public universities (two central universities of Kabul province and two eastern provincial universities) of Afghanistan were taken into account. Self-regulated learning scale developed by Gupta Madhu and Mehtani Dimple (2017) and general selfefficacy scale developed by Ralf Schwarzer and Matthias Jerusalem (1995) were administered in the study. The results of data analysis indicated that male and female university students do not differ significantly from each other with respect to various dimensions of self-regulated learning. In addition, stepwise regression analysis revealed that, self-awareness and self-control significantly predict the self-efficacy of university students of Afghanistan. Therefore, it is suggested that teachers should make their students aware of the concept of self-regulated learning skills particularly self-awareness and self-control in order to support and scaffold students’ emotions, thoughts, feelings and behaviors in the process of language learning which may ultimately lead them to the achievement of their desired goals.

PENGARUH TINGKAT EKONOMI KELUARGA, UANG SAKU, JENIS KELAMIN DAN INDEKS PRESTASI KUMULATIF TERHADAP FINANCIAL LITERACY MAHASISWA AKUNTANSI

Financial literacy is the ability that a person has in managing personal finances to manage the future. All people need financial literacy so that they can manage their finances well. During this covid-19 pandemic, one's ability to manage finances is very much needed because the country's economy is declining which causes one's income to decrease and causes many needs to be unfulfilled. Without a good financial understanding, a person's life will be very difficult because they cannot manage the finances they have. Financial literacy must require training from a young age, experience, and good self-control in order to be able to manage finances well.This study aims to determine whether there is an effect of gender, cumulative achievement index, family economic level, and student pocket money on the financial literacy of accounting students for the 2018-2020 class at Ciputra University Surabaya by using the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) approach. The population used in this study were all accounting student class 2018-2020 who had studied three courses. The subjects that are required in this research are budgeting, investment, and business mathematics. Accounting students are the target of research because it is expected that they have a good level of understanding because they have studied accounting in lectures. The data collection in this study used primary data by using a questionnaire in the form of a google form which was distributed using social media. Analysis of the data in this study using multiple linear regression with the help of SPSS Version 22. The results of this study prove that the variable gender and cumulative achievement index have a positive and significant effect on financial literacy. While the variables of family economic level and student pocket money have a negative and significant effect on financial literacy.

Prevalence of depression and stress among the first year students in Suranaree University of Technology, Thailand.

This research has been approved by the SUT's Research Ethics Committee. The study period was between July and August 2018. The online, self-report questionnaire was used as a research instrument to collect data from the sample of SUT first-year students. The total number of first-year students at SUT was 3,552 and the response rate was 65.15%. The major findings revealed that 7.0% and 51.1% of them were suffering from depression, and pathological stress, respectively. In addition, the prevalence of depression and pathological stress was higher in female samples than in other gender groups. The findings would suggest that related activities should be organized to promote students' awareness of their suffering and self-control in order to prevent further depression and pathological stress.

Peran locus of control pada pengujian model perencanaan dana pensiun karyawan sektor swasta di Surabaya

This study investigates the factors affecting retirement planning by examining therelationship between financial literacy, locus of control, materialism, future orientation,and saving orientation. It used a questionnaire on 128 private sector employees inSurabaya and the data were analyzed using PLS. It was found that locus of control, future orientation, and saving orientation have an effect on retirement planning. Another one shows financial literacy has an insignificant positive effect on retirement planning and external locus of control mediating the effect of financial literacy on pension planningbehavior. Materialism has no effect on retirement planning. Future orientation has a positive effect on retirement planning and saving orientation is able to mediate the effect of future orientation on retirement planning. It can be implied that—if an individual has a better future orientation and saving orientation—the better the retirement plan he has;an individual who has high financial literacy must be accompanied by good self-controlin order to be able to plan his retirement wisely. It can be used for a useful reference for organizations to develop retirement planning in the context of a developed city such as Surabaya.

Actual aspects of the development of a standard operating procedure «Teaching a patient with chronic heart failure to self-control in order to assess vital signs in a timely manner»

The aim of the study was to determine the relevant aspects that need to be reflected in the standard operating room, which determines the procedure for teaching a patient with chronic heart failure to self-control. Results. It has been established that when preparing the training material, a nurse should pay special attention to the formation of the patient’s skill in a timely assessment of vital signs and self-control. Conclusion. Nursing organizers in their activities need to pay special attention to the formation of a bank of standard operating procedures governing the procedure for conducting the learning process, the level of quality in the provision of such an independent nursing intervention as patient education depends on this. In addition, on the one hand, it is a methodological document for a nurse, since it covers the main aspects of teaching a patient to self-control methods, and on the other hand, it is a teaching material for a patient, which he can independently use at home after discharge from the hospital.

Cognitive Dynamics of Religiosity and Intertemporal Choice Behavior

The preference for smaller-sooner rewards over larger-delayed ones (temporal discounting, TD) has been suggested to be influenced by religiosity, through its role in enhancing self-control. Here we investigate this issue in Muslims, Catholics, and two control groups of Italian and Iranian atheists, by measuring implicit religiosity (implicit association test, IAT) and the cognitive dynamics underlying TD (using mouse tracking). Results showed that Muslims are the most farsighted, while Catholics are the most shortsighted and both atheists’ groups fall in between these two extremes; additionally, these results are also shaped by implicit religiosity (IAT). Mouse tracking analyses reveal that Muslims show higher cognitive conflict compared to the other groups, which arises only in later stages of processing. This indicates that farsighted behavior in Muslims requires the recruitment of self-control in order to regulate intertemporal decision-making. Our findings suggest that the highly demanding religious precepts enforced in (most) Islamic communities may help strengthen self-control abilities.

The Citizen as Self-Abnegating: Othering the Drunkard in the Early Republic

Today, citizenship is generally understood as legal subjectivity in a national context, but in the decades after the American Revolution, the concept of citizenship was not strictly associated with the nation. Instead, Americans of the early republic primarily associated citizenship with a Protestant understanding of eschatological reward: good “citizens” sought not to engage politically but rather to practice self-control in order to indicate their viability for inclusion in heaven after death. This distinction between national and religious citizenship is depicted in early temperance material, in which the figure of the drunkard acts as the constitutive other to both political and religious valences of the citizen. By analyzing the temperance writings of Benjamin Franklin, Benjamin Rush, and Mary L. Fox, as well as the Naturalization Acts, I demonstrate that the figure of the drunkard delimited citizenship in his sensual, uncontrolled, and unproductive embodiment. Through this differentiation between the drunkard and the citizen, temperance literature demonstrates that the liberty promised to new Americans was contingent on their exercise of complete physical self-control: the bodies that mattered were those that appeared to disappear under restrictive practices of a specifically Christian public decorum described as “good moral character.”

Soft drinks for lunch? Self-control, intentions and social influences

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to explore associations between food-related self-control, intentions, descriptive peer norms, parents’ healthy eating guidance and adolescents’ consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSB) in a school lunch setting. An additional aim was to evaluate the psychometric properties of the measure used to assess food-related self-control in order to reveal potential multi-dimensionality.Design/methodology/approachA web-based survey was conducted among 694 Norwegian high school students. Multiple logistic regression was used to explore associations between the independent variables and SSB consumption. Psychometric evaluation of the self-control measure included factor analysis and internal consistency reliability.FindingsFactor analysis resulted in two food-related self-control dimensions: resistance and avoidance. Multiple logistic regression showed that intentions was the strongest predictor of SSB consumption in the sample. Avoidance and descriptive peer norms appeared as weaker predictors.Research limitations/implicationsBased on the findings, the authors suggest that future studies may consider developing guiding principles on how to create health-promoting eating intentions in adolescents, how to deal with peer norms related to foods and beverages and how to avoid tempting stimuli in the environment. Such strategies may be helpful when structural changes in the environment are not feasible in the near future.Originality/valueAn original aspect of the present study is that it includes a psychometric analysis of a supposedly one-dimensional self-control measure. Further, it adds to the knowledge about variables associated with adolescent SSB consumption in a school lunch context.

Observational Data Exploration Via Online Tool For For Drugs and Cancer Risk

ABSTRACTObjectiveRapid change in health information technology system had dramatically increased health data accumulated. We aimed to develop an online informatics tool in order to evaluate the risk of drugs for cancer by utilizing medical big data.
 Data SourceWe use the Taiwan’s National Health Insurance Database that has provided a huge data which covered all health information including characteristics and all drug information i.e. prescriptions, etc. of 23 million Taiwanese population. Front-end development: Web-based interface was developed by using PHP package and Javascript. In addition, we included the guidelines of evidence based medicine (EBM) level 3 for observational study such as cohort, case-control, and/or case serial self-control in order to support users interact with system. Back-end development: A package of Apache, MySQL & PHP was used to build the serve-side of the system. We integrated the Elasticsearch API5 to our system in order to search and analyze data immediately. The example of data transform to person-level from Taiwan NHI database is shown in Box 1. After then, we also integrated the analytics package (ie. R package) to perform the statistical analysis to a given study.
 This online analytical tool has capability to massively explore and visualize big data for long term use drugs and cancers through OMOSC system which will help to do mass online studies for long term use drugs and cancer risk. It would help to direct the health care professionals with lack of datamining skills to lead the study. The constructed online system would generate automatically case and controls by utilizing large databases for long term drug exposures and cancer risk. ResultsThe results are shown in odds ratio (OR) and if selected some confounding factors then could also get adjusted odds ratio (AOR) for risk estimation with 95% Confidence Intervals (CI). We used SAS statistical software on the same dataset to validate the OMOSC system results. It could help to do massive online studies which will saves time and cost effective.
 ConclusionSince the clinical trials are impossible to conduct due to cultural, cost, ethical, political or social obstacles. Therefore, this kind of research model would play an important role in health care industry by providing an excellent opportunities for solving the technological, informatics, and organizational issues towards other broad domains of drugs evaluation by utilizing large-scale databases.

The connection between environmental attitude–behavior gap and other individual inconsistencies: a call for strengthening self-control

ABSTRACTWhat is going on with environmental education, which is currently unable to promote pro-environmental behaviors as effectively as it promotes pro-environmental attitudes? A tentative answer is that the environmental attitude–behavior gap observed in some individuals is just one manifestation of their lack of self-control for maintaining consistency in many life spheres. In the absence of prior empirical evidence, intuition suggests that the environmental attitude–behavior gap does not appear isolated but rather interconnected to other individual inconsistencies, while a rational approach suggests that self-control (i.e. capacity to perform consistent actions) plays an important role in explaining the environmental attitude–behavior gap within the framework of the theory of planned behavior. Using data collected in Spain, we found that four individual inconsistencies (concerning fast food, alcoholic beverages, pre-cooked meals, and diet products) made an important contribution to the explanation of the environmental attitude–behavior gap, revealing a remarkable connection between personal and environmental health care. These findings suggest the importance of focusing education efforts on strengthening students’ self-control in order to make them more capable of being consistent in all life endeavors.

The dimensionality of the Brief Self-Control Scale—An evaluation of unidimensional and multidimensional applications

The widely-used Brief Self-Control Scale (BSCS) is usually applied as a unidimensional measure of trait self-control. However, there is no clear empirical evidence for the scale's unidimensional structure, while different multidimensional conceptualizations of the BSCS have recently been suggested. The authors of those multidimensional models used different BSCS item subsets to specify distinct facets of self-control in order to enhance the representation of the scale's internal structure or to increase the instrument's efficiency in predicting various outcomes. Up until now, little is known about the relative performance of these conceptualizations. In this article, we compare three two-dimensional representations of the BSCS with the unidimensional measure in two samples of university students (N=205) and apprentices in vocational education and training (N=1951). Of the two-dimensional models only the one that separates positively and negatively worded items showed a consistent improvement in model fit in both samples, compared to the unidimensional model. However, in comparison to the unidimensional measure, the two-dimensional measures did not substantially enhance the predictive power concerning outcome variables in either sample. We conclude that the BSCS's total score is a viable option for assessing trait self-control and for studying its relationship with achievement-related outcome variables.

When joking at work helps you work: The influence of humor on persistence behavior

Persistence is often the key to business and career success with many occupations requiring individuals to persist at tasks and maintain their efforts in order to achieve their goals. The ability to persist often separates those who eventually achieve success and those who do not. Research on the psychology of persistence suggests that persistence at a task requires self-control in order to resist temptations to abandon one’s efforts. Extending research in the area of self-control, this paper examines whether humor, a phenomenon rarely studied by management scholars but often prescribed by consultants and management gurus as a useful workplace tool, can be used to increase persistence behavior. Findings from two experimental studies (N = 74 and N = 50) show that humor can be used to increase persistence behavior and that individuals who possess a high level of self-enhancing humor style are more able to benefit from the effects of humor. More importantly, findings also show the discrete emotional mechanism by which humor affects persistence behavior. Implications for research, practice and future directions are discussed.

Association between self-control and school bullying behaviors among Macanese adolescents

ObjectiveMacau is a Special Administrative Region (SAR) of China with over 95% of the population is of Chinese descent. Research on school bullying using Macanese samples is virtually nonexistent. Thus, this study is among the first to sample this population by exploring the association between bullying perpetration and victimization, and the level of self-control among a group of school-aged Macanese adolescents. MethodsA total of 365 participants, aged between 10 and 17 years, from two male-only schools (a boarding and a non-boarding schools) in Macau are surveyed. The Illinois Bully Scale (Espelage & Holt, 2001) and Self-Control Scale (Grasmick, Tittle, Bursik, & Arneklev, 1993) are used to measure the participants bullying behaviors and self-control level, respectively. ResultsOverall finding indicates that bullying perpetration is negatively associated with the participants’ level of self-control. ConclusionThese findings provide further support for the importance of self-control in bullying perpetration. Implications of the findings are offered by way to increase the youngsters’ level of self-control in order to reduce their propensity to engage in bullying perpetration at school.

The many measurements of self-control: How re-operationalized self-control compares

Since Gottfredson and Hirschi’s A General Theory of Crime was published in 1990, self-control has become a major focus in criminological theory and research and the issue of measuring self-control has been the topic of many debates. Much of this research has used Grasmick and colleagues’ 1993 attitudinal scale. In 2004, Hirschi provided a new definition for self-control designed to spur new measurements of the concept. Despite this effort, only Piquero and Bouffard (2007) have provided an in-depth attempt to measure the redefined concept. This study replicates the Piquero and Bouffard measurement and a traditional measure of self-control in order to compare their effectiveness in predicting criminal or deviant behaviours. The data used come from a random sample of undergraduate students. Results indicate that the strength of the relationship between self-control and crime/deviance varies significantly based on the way self-control is measured.
