Experiences of Turkish nurses volunteering in the disaster zone following the 2023 Türkiye-Syria earthquake.

The study aimed to determine the experiences of Turkish nurses who volunteered in the disaster zone following the 2023 Türkiye-Syria earthquake. The earthquake devastated 11 cities in Türkiye, which required a comprehensive humanitarian response. Despite the crucial role of nurses in crisis management, limited research exists on their experiences in earthquake zones. Nurses experience difficulties in disaster areas, such as physical conditions, lack of disaster plans, and inadequate disaster training before being deployed to earthquake areas. This study used a qualitative research model and case study design. Data were collected through in-depth qualitative interviews. Nine participants who had worked in earthquake zones for at least 5 days were included in the study. The discussions were recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed thematically. The purposive sampling method was used, and the Consolidated Criteria for Reporting Qualitative Research guidelines were followed. As a result, 4 themes, namely physical conditions, psychosocial conditions, professional conditions, and organization, and their 14 subthemes were determined. This study revealed that nurses encountered difficulties related to physical conditions in earthquake zones. Moreover, the emotional burden expressed by the nurses highlighted the profound psychological impact of disaster response. This study determines that disaster preparedness and support for nurses should be enhanced to improve the arrangement of health services in future calamities. The results of this study can be used by nurse managers and healthcare policymakers to create nursing training programs that focus on disaster-related competencies.

Computerized disruption in the drug industry refers to a revolutionary shift in customary processes in drug discovery, assembly, and patient consideration, spurred by emerging technologies. The unification of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) accelerates the development of new drugs by analysing large datasets to identify potential rivals for existing medications and predict patient responses. Digital therapies (DTx) are evidence-based programming interventions that improve medication adherence and chronic illness management while providing accessible and personalized medical service arrangements. Cloud computing and enormous information examination smooth out information reconciliation and investigation, empowering more productive innovative work processes. These innovations support the improvement of customized medication by utilizing genomic and clinical information, cultivating the making of designated treatments. The Internet of Things (IoT) upgrades the drug production network by checking ecological circumstances and guaranteeing the respectability of medication conveyance, while blockchain innovation guarantees information trustworthiness and straightforwardness, especially in clinical preliminaries and production network the executives. Regulatory Technology (RegTech) computerizes consistence processes, decreasing expenses and guaranteeing adherence to administrative norms. Furthermore, additive manufacturing (3D printing) speeds up drug prototyping and the creation of customized measurements structures, while supportability drives driven by advanced development lessen the natural effect of drug tasks. As computerized advances keep on developing, they offer uncommon chances to further develop effectiveness, lessen expenses, and improve patient results in the drug area. The fruitful coordination of these advancements presents difficulties however vows to alter the business by making medical services more customized, productive, and available.

Data stewardship: case studies from North American, Dutch and Finnish universities

PurposeAs national legislation, federated national services, institutional policies and institutional research service arrangements may differ, data stewardship programs may be organized differently in higher education institutions across the world. This work seeks to elaborate the picture of different data stewardship programs running in different institutional and national research environments.Design/methodology/approachUtilizing a case study design, this study described three distinct data stewardship programs from Purdue University (United States), Delft Technical University (Netherlands) and Aalto University (Finland). In addition, this work investigated the institutional and national research environments of the programs. The focus was on initiatives led by academic libraries or similar services.FindingsThis work demonstrates that data stewardship programs may be organized differently within varying national and institutional contexts. The data stewardship programs varied in terms of roles, organization and funding structures. Furthermore, policies and legislation, organizational structures and national infrastructures differed.Research limitations/implicationsThe data stewardship programs and their contexts develop, and the descriptions presented in this work should be considered as snapshots.Originality/valueThis work broadens the current literature on data stewardship by not only providing detailed descriptions of three distinct data stewardship programs but also highlighting how research environments may affect their organization. We present a summary of key factors in the organization of data stewardship programs.

Generation and content validation of physical and vocational rehabilitation in paraplegics: An interview guide

BACKGROUND: As the mainstay treatment for paraplegics is rehabilitation, patient satisfaction and experience are important predictors of the care being provided. To understand whether the current arrangements of rehabilitation services are sufficient to help an individual with paraplegia return to a productive life. Patient-centered interview guides to explore their rehabilitation experience are lacking, which calls for a generation of the same. OBJECTIVE: To generate and validate an interview guide (PVR-PIG), which aims at understanding and exploring the experience of physical and vocational rehabilitation for individuals with paraplegia. METHODS: After an extensive literature search, an initial 27-item interview guide was formulated under three domains: general experience and expectations from rehabilitation care; physical rehabilitation experience, barriers, and facilitators; and vocational rehabilitation. Later, it was sent for content validation to a multidisciplinary expert panel with prior experience in spinal cord injury (SCI) management. RESULTS: After suggestions were received from nine experts with an average of 14 years of experience in dealing with SCI, a 15-item interview guide was finalized, with a scale-level and item-level content validity index of 0.897 and 0.78–1, respectively. CONCLUSION: The generated interview guide (PVR-PIG) aimed to explore physical and vocational rehabilitation experiences in paraplegics was found to be valid.

A Revisionist History Approach to the Study of Emotional Labor: Have We Forgotten Display Rules and Service Contexts?

We take a revisionist approach to study emotional labor—commoditization of emotions for a wage—to delineate how organizational scholars must “revive and resubmit” two crucial elements of the emotional labor phenomenon that have been left behind as research within this space evolved. First, we argue that scholars have not paid enough recent attention to display rules that prescribe what emotions are acceptable within service interactions, instead assuming classic conceptualizations (i.e. show positive emotions and hide negative emotions) still prevail. Second, we highlight that the shift away from service occupations to more white-collar occupations may have minimized our understanding of the complexity of emotional labor in modern service arrangements, such as multiple job holders, and employees in the gig economy. We hope that future emotional labor scholarship will dig into several taken-for-granted assumptions about the phenomenon moving forward to help “go back to the basics” regarding display rules of those in service work.

Analysis of the Economic Value of Environmental Services of Mangrove Ecosystem in Cendi Manik, Sekotong District, West Lombok Regency

The area of mangrove ecosystems in West Nusa Tenggara Province continues to decline each year. One of the threatening factors that substantially contribute to such condition is socioeconomic activities of human beings in fulfilling their needs. An effort that can be made primarily to preserve the mangrove ecosystem is to quantify the economic value of environmental services provided by the mangrove ecosystem as a whole, so that the existence and sustainability of the mangrove ecosystem could be maintained. This research aims to calculate the total economic value of mangrove ecosystem services which indicate the four categories of ecosystem services including supporting services, provisioning services, regulatory services and cultural services. The research was carried out using a survey method by collecting data and information from location of this study to obtain actual data regarding the existence of the mangrove ecosystem. The results of the analysis show that the total economic value of mangrove ecosystem environmental services is 963,888,060/year. This value is divided into provider services (supply services) amounting to Rp. 153,002,250, regulatory services (arrangement services) Rp. 598,339,702, supporting services (support services) Rp. 2,243,250, and cultural services (cultural services) Rp. 210,308,857. The magnitude of the total economic value of mangrove ecosystem environmental services can be a reference for the government in determining compensation for services if there is degradation to mangrove ecosystem resources in the area.

Implementation of Administrative Service Policy at The Makassar City Population and Civil Registry Service

<span lang="EN-US">The problem in this study is the implementation of policies that have not been optimal at the Makassar City Population and Civil Registry Office. This study aims to analyze the implementation of administrative service policies at the Makassar City Population and Civil Registry Office. This type of research is qualitative research. Primary data sources were obtained through interviews with 18 informants and supported by observation and documentation review at the Makassar City Population and Civil Registry Office. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of the administrative service policy has interpreted the above policies. However, the arrangement for employee placement is less effective because it only places two employees at the file verification counter so that its implementation results in long queues. This shows the lack of coordination by the implementor on the existing service arrangements and procedures and the lack of socialization to the community, resulting in the weak ability of the community to adapt to the procedures and service innovations that have been made. Thus, it is recommended to apply the Optimal One-Stop Integrated Service Model so that the administrative services of the Makassar City Population and Civil Registration Service are more effective. The need to improve effective coordination between implementing organizations to meet all resource requirements so that Standard Operating Procedures and service innovations are made according to the needs of the organization and society. Furthermore, the Operational Standards and Procedures as well as service innovations should be maximally disseminated by the implementers so that the public knows and understands the existing work mechanisms at the Makassar City Population and Civil Registry Office.</span>

Exploring the reasons for defaulting from childhood immunization: a qualitative study in Pakistan

BackgroundChildhood vaccination is widely recognized as the most effective means to prevent various diseases. However, a considerable amount of children still miss out on their vaccination schedules. Therefore, this study explores the reasons for defaulting from the expanded program on immunization in district Swat, Pakistan.MethodsA qualitative phenomenological approach was used. Data collection took place from March to September 2022. Thirty-six in-depth interviews were conducted with participants who had defaulter children. The collected qualitative data were analysed thematically to identify key patterns and themes related to the reasons for defaulting from childhood vaccination schedules.ResultsSix themes emerged, i.e., illness of the defaulter child at the scheduled time, perceived side effects of the vaccination, factors related to caregivers, myths and misconceptions, vaccinators attitudes and crowed vaccination centres, as well as poor immunization service arrangements. Four subthemes arose related to caregivers, such as lack of clear understanding about completion of vaccination, least priority for child’s vaccination, cultural restriction on mothers, and the loss of vaccination card.ConclusionAccording to the study’s findings, caregivers have their own perceptions regarding the non-completion of their children’s vaccination schedule. The childhood immunization defaulting arises from various factors including child illness, Adverse Events Following Immunization (AEFIs) concerns, misconceptions, improper injection techniques, and negative vaccinator attitudes. The vaccination completion rate may be increased if the concerns of the caregivers are appropriately addressed.

“If we're wrong, take us to court”: An analysis of special police services (SPS) arrangements for the policing of football in England and Wales

Under the Police Act 1996, Special Police Services (SPS) allow the police in England and Wales to partially cost recover for resources deployed to police events such as football, horse racing and music festivals. Historically, there have been numerous legal cases about SPS charges involving police forces and event organisers. Most recently Ipswich Town Football Club Company Limited vs. The Chief Constable of Suffolk Constabulary [2017] EWCA Civ 1484, resulted in clarification on points of law and a more restricted area within which police forces can charge for SPS. This qualitative research interviews police officers engaged in policing football, football club representatives and other key stakeholders involved in the SPS negotiation process. It finds that there are divisive approaches by both parties, which can result in compromising public safety. The notion of SPS being abolished is explored, despite potential benefits of this, further research is recommended to examine this further.

Public values and sector service delivery preferences: Public preferences on contracting from simple to complex human services

AbstractNonprofit and for‐profit providers play an increasing role in public service delivery, but we know little about what shapes public service delivery preferences. Responding to calls to put the “public” back in public values theory, we examine the influence of public values on sector service delivery preferences for government, nonprofit, or for‐profit delivery across six service areas ranging from simple services such as trash collection to complex services such as child welfare. We find equity predicts a preference for government service delivery across areas, while efficiency corresponds to a preference for for‐profit service delivery. Nonprofit sector preferences varied across service areas; equity corresponds to simple services such as street maintenance, whereas effectiveness corresponds to complex human services such as elder care. Public administrators should be cognizant of the public value trade‐offs that underlie sector preferences for public services to design and implement service arrangements in line with the preferences of the public they serve.

Transformation of Mortgage Rights Registration by Electronic System

On entering the digital era, the Ministry of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/National Land Agency introduced electronic land services, including electronic mortgage rights. To facilitate investment needs by applying for bank loans and to improve mortgage rights services in meeting the principles of transparency, timeliness, speed, convenience, effectiveness, and efficiency. This research aims to describe and analyze the arrangement of electronic mortgage rights system services, and the advantages and disadvantages faced by the organizers and users of the electronic mortgage rights system services. The type of research used is descriptive normative legal research. Secondary data were analyzed qualitatively. For the conclusion deductive logic was used. The research results showed that the types of services in the electronic mortgage rights system include registration of mortgage rights, transfer of mortgage rights, change of creditor name, and cancellation of liability electronically integrated mortgage rights service mechanisms. The land deed officials, creditors, and the land office experienced problems while registering mortgage rights in the electronic system. There are advantages and disadvantages to an electronic mortgage rights system. There are unclear settings. It is proposed that the rules regarding electronic mortgage rights must be revised regarding the improvement period for electronic mortgage rights applications. The provisions of Article 10 paragraph (3) of the Mortgage Rights Law cannot be implemented because the Electronic Mortgage Rights are based on land data that has been legalized and registered with the local land office. The provisions of Article 10 paragraph (3) of the Mortgage Rights Law must accommodate.

Data driven value creation in industrial services including remanufacturing

In the era of twin transition companies face complex challenges. Economical resource usage and efficiency are particularly important in the manufacturing sector. Product-service systems are seen a promising solution that can meet the expectations regarding efficiency in a sustainable way. However, there is a huge potential regarding the evaluation of sustainable value creation. The paper focuses on the value creation process in product-service systems including offers with remanufactured products.Against this background, the goal of this paper is to describe how data driven industrial services can create sustainable value in the meaning of the triple bottom line. Based on previous work, a quantitative model for the assessment and optimization of this value creation is extended to include additional remanufacturing strategies. The value optimization model integrates the different perspectives of provider, custumer and society. The numerical evaluation of this model for a specific application case shows that economic and ecological value creation can be jointly achieved and optimized, and which service arrangements lead to this optimization.

Developing an Operationalized Framework for Comparing Consumer-Directed Care for Older Adults: Evidence from Expert Survey and Cross-National Comparison

ABSTRACT Consumer-directed care (CDC) programs for older people aim to optimize health outcomes by offering clients control and flexibility regarding service arrangements. However, policy design features may differ due to heterogenous sociostructural systems. By operationalizing a framework with three dimensions of CDC, i.e. control and direct services, variety of service options, and information and support, we analyzed how countries vary in their policy designs to achieve consumer direction. Using an expert survey (n = 20) and cross-national document analysis, we analyzed 12 CDC programs from seven selected countries: the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, the Netherlands, China, Australia, and Spain. Among the three dimensions, CDC programs placed more emphasis on and displayed more homogenous performance of policy designs that achieve consumer direction in the dimension of control and direct services, while less emphasis was placed on and more heterogenous performance displayed in the dimensions of variety of service options and information and support. We offer a systematically operationalized framework to investigate CDC policy designs. Findings advance our understanding of CDC policy features from a cross-national perspective. Policymakers could incorporate these findings to empower older people in their respective societies.

Role of Microfinance on Women Empowerment in Siddharth District of U.P

Abstract: A large portion of the population currently lives below the poverty line (BPL), which is a problem for emerging nations. Microfinance can aid developing nations in overcoming their poverty issues. Micro-finance offers a variety of financial resources (such as loans, insurance, savings, etc.) to the underprivileged so they can stabilize their businesses. Individuals can use these resources for a wide range of purposes, including pursuing business possibilities, raising their standard of living, paying off other sizable debts, responding to emergencies, etc. Microfinance is the arrangement of financial services including loans, savings, insurance, money transfers and remittances offered to the lower income groups or poor entrepreneurs, who otherwise cannot avail the standard banking services. The motive behind Microfinance is to give people in poverty a privilege to become self-sufficient by offering them crucial banking services at considerable smaller monetary amounts.

STATUS OF URBAN HEALTH INFRASTRUCTURE TO COMBAT COVID-19 IN BIRBHUM DISTRICT, WEST BENGAL

The outbreak of Covid-19 was declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern on 31st January, 2020. Every country can take at national, sub regional and local levels to reorganize essential health services in the pandemic context and maintain a safe access to every citizen. To deal with this catastrophic Corona Virus India is making preparedness with its high urban population density, deficiency in hygiene and sanitation facilities and most crucially insufficient treatment capacity. The first 2000 cases were reported in 56 days. The next 2000 in 15 days and the next 2000 cases in a week. According to the data released by the state health department, West Bengal took just 5 days from June 3 rd to June 7th to register the next 2000 cases. Till Tuesday (9th June) total cases in the state stood at 8985. With increased number of testing and the entry of migrant labourers, there was a sudden spike in the number of cases. The returning migrant workers from the highly infected zones after an unplanned lockdown delivers a major catastrophe at our doorstep. The objective of the study is to focus on the arrangement of health services for this disaster in Birbhum District, West Bengal. According to the direction of the Bengal health department, separate hospitals for Covid-19 patients are to be set up in each district in order to arrange a local set-up before the contamination expands into the community transmission stage.

Prevalence and related factors of inappropriate gestational weight gain among pregnant women with overweight/ obesity in Thailand

BackgroundAn inappropriate gestational weight gain (GWG) among pregnant women with overweight/obesity is a crucial health problem. Its prevalence remains high worldwide, particularly in urban areas. The prevalence and predicting factors in Thailand are lack of evidence. This study aimed to investigate prevalence rates, antenatal care (ANC) service arrangement, predictive factors, and impacts of inappropriate GWG among pregnant women with overweight/obesity in Bangkok and its surrounding metropolitan area.MethodsThis cross-sectional, retrospective study used four sets of questionnaires investigating 685 pregnant women with overweight/obesity and 51 nurse-midwives (NMs) from July to December 2019 in ten tertiary hospitals. Multinomial logistic regression identified predictive factors with a 95% confidence interval (CI).ResultThe prevalence rates of excessive and inadequate GWG were 62.34% and 12.99%. Weight management for pregnant women with overweight/obesity are unavailable in tertiary cares. Over three-fourths of NMs have never received weight management training for this particular group. ANC service factors, i.e., GWG counseling by ANC providers, quality of general ANC service at an excellent and good level, NMs' positive attitudes toward GWG control, significantly decreased the adjusted odds ratio (AOR) of inadequate GWG by 0.03, 0.01, 0.02, 0.20, times, respectively. While maternal factors, sufficient income, and easy access to low-fat foods reduce AOR of inadequate GWG by 0.49, and 0.31 times. In contrast, adequate maternal GWG knowledge statistically increased the AOR of inadequate GWG 1.81 times. Meanwhile, easy access to low-fat foods and internal weight locus of control (WLOC) decreased the AOR of excessive GWG by 0.29 and 0.57 times. Finally, excessive GWG significantly increased the risk of primary C/S, fetal LGA, and macrosomia 1.65, 1.60, and 5.84 times, respectively, while inadequate GWG was not associated with adverse outcomes.ConclusionPrevalence rates of inappropriate GWG, especially excessive GWG remained high and affected adverse outcomes. The quality of ANC service provision and appropriate GWG counseling from ANC providers are significant health service factors. Thus, NMs should receive gestational weight counseling and management training to improve women's knowledge and practice for gestational weight (GW) control.

Engaging the humanitarian marketplace: Values, valuations and the making of humanitarian geographies

This article argues that humanitarian procurement and supply activities create geographies that are underpinned by valuations and the various values these arrange. The article draws from interviews with global procurement, commodity and supply chain leads for European and North American humanitarian organisations providing emergency humanitarian assistance and development programming as to how they engage with values and valuations in their professional practice. The article draws from economic sociology and its focus on valuation as a situated social process to explore how different values are recognised, negotiated and ordered within humanitarian procurement and supply practices. By paying attention to reflections on self-described practice, we can see the importance of standard procurement principles in accommodating different values, economic and normative, and how these organise market arrangements for different goods and services. This approach crucially allows for the possibility for new values to be accommodated (such as sustainability). It also shows the conflicts and strains that arise when existing processes and arrangements that have been legitimised by practice are questioned, namely through the localisation agenda and its reimagining of the values which underpin the flow and control of resources and the challenges this can make to international humanitarian arrangements and the sector’s colonial legacy. The article prompts further thought as to what values will continue to resonate in the sector and which new values will be realised through procurement and supply decisions in the future. The article highlights the importance of thinking with values and valuation processes in the making of humanitarian geographies. By extension, this highlights the importance of diverse theoretical bases for understanding value and valuation as a critical geographical practice.

Policies for Building the Investment Climate in Increasing Investment in Indonesia

Investment has an important role, considering that a country needs investment, especially for developing countries. One of the investment problems in Indonesia is the issue of legal certainty. This problem arose both because of the disharmony of related legislation and the issue of synchronization. Even though the issue of legal certainty is something that is expected by every investor, this is because investment is related to the expected profit in the future. Therefore, it is necessary to have arrangements in terms of legislation, as well as services. The arrangement of services also needs to be accompanied by the arrangement of the legal system. Therefore the concept of an investment legal system must include the arrangement of investment law and related laws, such as labor law issues, licensing laws that encourage certainty and protection for the continuity of investment.

Pemilihan Kepala Desa, Teologi Politik, dan Peran Gereja: Analisis Kritis di Desa dan Jemaat Abat, Maluku

This research aims to describe the dynamics and impact of village head elections on the implementation of church services in Abat. The research was conducted using political theology theory as a means to present God's kingdom through the church. The church in its ministry must actively make changes as a form of presenting the kingdom of God in the middle of the world. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach involving data collection procedures, data analysis, data processing, and data interpretation. The author finds that there are factors such as intervention, provocation, interests, village funds, and divisions of areas of power that are the causes of conflict and strained relations between communities in Abat. These factors have an impact on the arrangement of services in the Congregation and the social life of the people. Therefore, the church needs to renew its understanding of politics as a vessel for preaching and glorifying God, by presenting the values of God's kingdom which is full of peace, justice, and freedom of life.
