A Comparative Study of Factors Influencing ADAS Acceptance in Belgium and Vietnam

This paper focuses on the acceptance of ADASs in the traffic safety and human factor domain. More specifically, it examines the predictive validity of the Unified Model of Driver Acceptance (UMDA) for an ADAS bundle that includes forward collision warning, headway monitoring and warning, and lane-keeping assistance in Belgium and Vietnam, two substantially different geographical, socio-cultural, and macroeconomic settings. All systems in the studied ADAS bundle are located at the Society of Automotive Engineer (SAE)-level 0 of automation. We found moderate acceptance towards such an ADAS bundle in both countries, and respondents held rather positive opinions about system-specific characteristics. In terms of predictive validity, the UMDA scored quite well in both countries, though better in Belgium than in Vietnam. Macroeconomic factors and socio-cultural characteristics could explain these differences between the two countries. Policymakers are encouraged to prioritise initiatives that stimulate the purchase and use of the ADAS, rather than on measures meant to influence the underlying decisional balance.

The Influence of Servant Leadership, Human Resource Training and Motivation on Performance Mediated by Job Satisfaction of Employees of the Malinau Regency Education Office, North Kalimantan Province

This study aims to analyze the factors that influence the performance of employees of the Malinau Regency Education Office with a focus on servant leadership, human resources (HR) training, motivation, and job satisfaction as mediating variables. The study was conducted using a quantitative approach with the Partial Least Square (PLS) method on 66 employees. The results showed that servant leadership has a significant influence on employee performance with a contribution of 61.4%. HR training displays the strongest influence with a coefficient of 0.942, indicating that the quality of training directly improves performance. Motivation made a positive contribution of 25.6% to employee performance. Job satisfaction proved to play an effective role as a mediating variable between servant leadership, HR training, and motivation. The study concluded that a holistic approach through servant leadership, quality training, and a comprehensive motivation system can create a productive work environment. The locality context of Malinau Regency provides a unique perspective in the study of human resource management in a region with specific geographical and socio-cultural characteristics.

Developing a gender measure and examining its association with cardiovascular diseases incidence: a 28-year prospective cohort study

BackgroundCardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Examining gender (socio-cultural) in addition to sex (biological) is required to untangle socio-cultural characteristics contributing to inequities within or between sexes. This study aimed to develop a gender measure including four gender dimensions and examine the association between this gender measure and CVD incidence, across sexes.MethodsA cohort of 9188 white-collar workers (49.9% females) in the Quebec region was recruited in 1991–1993 and follow-up was carried out 28 years later for CVD incidence. Data collection involved a self-administered questionnaire and extraction of medical-administrative CVD incident cases. Cox proportional models allowed calculations of hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI), stratified by sex.ResultsSex and gender were partly independent, as discordances were observed in the distribution of the gender score across sexes. Among males, being in the third tertile of the gender score (indicating a higher level of characteristics traditionally ascribed to women) was associated with a 50% CVD risk increase compared to those in the first tertile (HR = 1.50; 95% CI: 1.24 to 1.82). This association persisted after adjustment for several CVD risk factors (HR = 1.42; 95% CI: 1.16 to 1.73). Conversely, no statistically significant association between the third tertile of the gender score and CVD incidence was observed in females (HR = 0.79, 95% CI: 0.60–1.05).ConclusionsThe findings suggested that males within the third tertile of the gender score were more likely to develop CVD, while females with those characteristics did not exhibit an increased risk. These findings underline the necessity for clinical and population health research to integrate both sex and gender measures, to further evaluate disparities in cardiovascular health and enhance the inclusivity of prevention strategies.

Barriers to Personalised Prevention: Perspectives from a Multi-Stakeholder Consultation

Abstract Background The high and increasing burden of Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) demands a healthcare shift towards prevention. Personalised preventive interventions (PPIs) that consider biological, sociocultural, environmental, and behavioural characteristics of individuals, are not as widely adopted as other personalised medicine approaches. To identify the main barriers and gaps that are hindering the adoption of PPIs in healthcare systems, we consulted a wide range of European stakeholders, including health professionals, policy makers, citizens and patients, and researchers. Methods The consultation process included experts’ interviews and an online survey, taking place over 10 months in 2023/2024. Interviews were analysed using qualitative Thematic Analysis. The online survey development was based on the barriers identified by the interviewed experts, complemented with findings from the literature. Respondents scored their level of agreement/disagreement using a 6-point Likert scale. Descriptive statistical analysis was performed. Results A total of 26 semi-structured interviews and 270 complete surveys were obtained. Overall, the main barriers highlighted were: 1) Health systems strategies are geared towards curative care and not prevention. 2) Awareness and understanding of the concept of PPIs is low. 3) There is a lack of basic and life-long training for health professionals on PPIs; 4) There is insufficient evidence for PPIs to raise the necessary policymakers’ interest. 5) Health literacy of citizens and patients is low. 6) There is insufficient prevention research, evidence of cost-efficiency and regulation procedures for translation into health practice. Conclusions Identified barriers are interconnected and the challenges extend beyond prevention to personalized medicine interventions. Collaborative efforts are needed to elevate visibility and engage stakeholders, facilitating integration of PPIs into healthcare systems for widespread adoption. Key messages • This consultation offers valuable insights on challenges that need to be addressed to enable the integration of PPIs into healthcare and reduce the burden of NCDs. • Investments in disease prevention and PPIs should stand as a global key priority.

Articulating Indigeneity in the messiness: Resource politics and capitalism in Qalang na Tayal (Tayal communities), Taiwan

This paper addresses Indigenous articulation in contemporary resource politics and capitalist markets, beginning with the contestation over Indigeneity within the socio-political context of Taiwan. Indigenous peoples in Taiwan have been challenged by the spatial trope of the ‘mountain’. This complex trope encompasses not only topographical aspects but also socio-cultural and political-economic characteristics. It has historically represented remote, montane areas and their populations as primitive, barbarian, and uncivilized, in contrast to the modern and developed plains. This paper presents two case studies to challenge the hegemonic construction of Indigeneity: a water management committee and a tomato cooperative. These case studies illustrate how Tayal people connect across time and place, and how they engage in a reconfiguration of the mountain imaginary, thereby producing a shift that heralds the mountains as authentically Indigenous. Tayal people articulate existence and belonging-together-in-place with non- Tayal settlers in novel ways. They have persisted and resisted in their homeland despite consistently facing stereotypes. This paper argues that there is no singular Indigenous other; therefore, there is no single way of being Indigenous. It also posits that the Tayal people’s articulation is deeply rooted in their collective sense of belonging-together-in-place. Finally, this paper proposes an ontological shift urging geographers and fellow academics to engage with Indigenous people in contested cultural landscapes.

A IMPORTÂNCIA DA PESQUISA ACADÊMICA NA FORMAÇÃO DE PROFESSORES

This article explores an ongoing study that investigates the integration of research as curricular content in teacher training courses for basic education in Brazil, with a particular focus on pedagogy courses. Thus, the study is situated within the context of government policies and educational reforms that began in the 1990s. However, the work examines the socioeconomic and cultural characteristics of students aspiring to become elementary school teachers and analyzes the introduction of research into the curricula of these courses, contrasting the approaches presented in official documents with the concepts defended by the main authors in the field. The text is based on qualitative data collected through focus group discussions with students who are about to complete the pedagogy course. Thus, the article ends with reflections on the need to consider both the subjective aspects and the sociocultural characteristics of students when assessing the relevance of research in initial teacher training courses. To this end, this analysis seeks to understand more comprehensively the impact of research on teacher training, recognizing the complexity of the dimensions involved in educational practice and in the preparation of future teachers.

Localisation as Sociocultural Adaptation of Modern Design of Visual Communications

The aim of the article is to ground and formulate the definition of the term “localisation” in design using the example of visual communications. Results. A review of definitions and interpretations of localisation in different scientific and industrial spheres highlights that the term has different semantic meanings. In the sphere of visual communications, the concept appeared in web design, programming interfaces of programmes and games in the context of language, as well as technical, normative (State Standards) and legal parameters. Nowadays, the use of the term has expanded to the majority of graphic design, branding and marketing product. Its content is associated with sociocultural characteristics of the target groups. Interviews conducted with experts in the re-publishing and redesign of English-language books in the Ukrainian language, advertising communications, curatorship in mural placement and social poster display confirm the relevance of the content and design adчaptation to the specifics of target groups. Localisation in design is defined as a strategy in increasing the functional and communicative efficiency of the project through the adaptation of the content and design to the specifics of sociocultural, legislative, technological, geographical and historical conditions of its use within the country, region, etc. Scientific novelty. For the first time in the theory of design, the term “localisation” is grounded and introduced (using the example of visual communications); the specifics of using the concept of “local” in the context of consideration of these phenomena are clarified; the results of interviews of Ukrainian experts with experience in the localisation of visual communications are presented; the necessity in sociocultural adaptation of the content and design of visual communications to the requests of target groups is emphasised. Conclusions. In conditions of globalisation, the significance of localisation of visual communication projects is increasing. Its implementation requires immersion in the local culture and/or close contact with their representatives during the design process. However, the most effective localisation can be carried out directly by a representative of the target group as a carrier of its local culture.

Development and validation of the Ethnic-Racial Discrimination Stress Inventory (ERDSI) for Mexican-origin U.S. adults and Turkish-origin German adults.

We developed the 26-item Ethnic-Racial Discrimination Stress Inventory (ERDSI) to assess ethnic-racial discrimination stress in Mexican-origin adults in the United States and Turkish-origin adults in Germany, two groups with similar sociocultural characteristics and immigration experiences. We developed 73 items measuring firsthand, intragroup, and vicarious discrimination, and internalization and expectations of discrimination experiences. If participants reported experiencing a given situation, they were asked to rate its stressfulness. U.S.-based Mexican-origin adults (N = 222) and German-based Turkish-origin adults (N = 105) completed an online survey of these items, measures of related constructs, and sociodemographic measures. Study 1: We eliminated items based on interitem correlations and exploratory factor analyses in the U.S.-based Mexican sample. The exploratory factor analyses yielded four reliable and valid factors (F1: Vicarious Discrimination Stress, seven items; F2: Internalization of Discrimination Stress, seven items; F3: Intragroup Discrimination Stress, seven items; and F4: Firsthand Discrimination Stress, five items). The ERDSI factors predicted well-being measures, even after adjusting for control variables. Study 2: The three ERDSI factors (F1, F2, F4, not F3) that applied to the German-based Turkish sample demonstrated reliability and validity. Confirmatory factor analyses demonstrated metric invariance for F2 and partial scalar invariance for F1, F3, and F4. The ERDSI can be used to assess ethnic-racial discrimination stress in future studies with U.S.-based Mexican-origin adults and German-based Turkish-origin adults.

Psychometric Properties of the Family Resilience Assessment Scale for Children With Disabilities in China

The study aimed to explore the factor structure and psychometric properties of the Chinese version of the Family Resilience Assessment Scale for Children with Disabilities (FRAS-CWD). Due to the complexity of family resilience and the particularity of disabilities, there is a lack of reliable and valid tools to evaluate family resilience for children with disabilities in China. Data were collected from 767 Chinese parents of children with disabilities. Item analysis (IA), exploratory factor analysis (EFA), and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were used to test the discrimination of items, determine the factor structure and model fit, also with a Cronbach’s alpha for reliability test. EFA analysis yielded a 34-item 7-factor structure of the FRAS-CWD, which demonstrated satisfactory model fit by CFA analysis. The FRAS-CWD also showed good internal consistency. The FRAS-CWD is reliable and valid for evaluating family resilience for children with disabilities in China, reflecting the Chinese socio-cultural characteristics. Relevant professionals and practitioners such as family therapists and social workers can use the FRAS-CWD to assess family strengths and facilitate intervention for families of children with disabilities experiencing adversity.

강원도·불·강철이 -문화유산으로서 강철이 설화의 가능성-

Kangcheol-i is a legendary monster from the eastern part of Korea, known from the proverb “Wherever Kangcheol-i goes, autumn and spring are also spring.”, and has been recognized as a type of Imugi. However, according to oral traditions, Kangcheol-i appears as a corrupted Imugi in the Yeongnam region, whereas in the Gangwon-do, Kangcheol-i is a monster associated with fire, unrelated to Imugi. The earliest record of Kangcheol-I is found in Jibong Yuseol by Lee Soo-gwang. The oral folktale is centered in the Gangwon-do region, and Gangwon-do tale tends to use the name Kangcheol-i alone. The lore centered on Gangwon-do frequently includes references to “fire.” The difference between the Gangwon-do tales and those of other regions seems to stem from the distinct local perception of fire. There are two main socio-cultural characteristics of the Gangwon-do region. First, the Yeongseo region of Gangwon-do historically practiced slash and burn farming. The form of the rainmaker rituals in the folk tale of Kangcheol-i corresponds to those of “slash-and-burn” agricultural rainmaker rituals. Next is the geographical and climatic characteristics of Gangwon-do. Gangwon-do is a region prone to forest fires, and Yeongseo was a region prone to droughts and forest fires due to its dry climate. With these two backgrounds, steel tales in Gangwon-do tend to be more strongly associated with fire than those in other regions. For slash-and-burn agriculturalists in Gangwon-do would have created a different transmission pattern from other regions. In this way, the story of Kangcheol-i, which shows the regionalism of Gangwon-do in slash-and-burn agriculture and fire, has been passed down until the 21st century, and since it is a story that reflects the lifestyle of the local people, it may have some significance as an intangible cultural heritage.

Caracterización sociocultural y económica de producción de ovinos en comunidades indígenas, Tungurahua - Ecuador

Sheep production in Ecuador is mostly for self-consumption in rural areas and especially in indigenous communities, although some marketing practices may eventually be implemented with products derived from sheep farming, such as milk and wool, which, in addition come into play in the processes of sustaining cultural traditions. Starting from this conviction, this article aims to describe the sociocultural and economic characteristics of sheep production in the indigenous communities of the province of Tungurahua, among which the communities stand out, within the study area: Quisapincha, Tomabela, Chibuleos and the Salasacas. The methodology that guides the research is qualitative, with a documentary and field design, since it is, on the one hand, exposing some sociocultural features of the study population, as well as specifying economic variables of sheep production in the region. . The theoretical review shows the importance of sheep farming as a source of income for a good number of people from the indigenous communities in the country, also representing a factor of preservation of the native cultures settled in regions such as the Tungurahua Province. Among the conclusions derived from empirical observation, it can be added that in the indigenous sectors of the province, there is evidence of a lack of knowledge of the basic health systems that must be implemented on their farms, which affects production and the economic strength of production.

Identification of a "Blue Zone" in the Netherlands: A Genetic, Personal, Sociocultural, and Environmental Profile.

"Blue Zones" (BZs) are regions with exceptionally high numbers of longevous inhabitants. Several factors have been suggested to promote longevity in BZs, but the evidence generally does not meet scientific quality criteria. We aimed to characterize a municipality as a "relative BZ," satisfying 3 criteria: compared to other municipalities, more exceptionally longevous inhabitants, a higher life expectancy, and a more stable population. The population-based Longitudinal Aging Study Amsterdam has been ongoing since 1992 in 11 municipalities across the Netherlands with 3- or 4-yearly measurement waves. Using all available waves, we included 39 genetic, personal, sociocultural, and environmental characteristics. One municipality satisfied the 3 BZ criteria. In comparison with participants in other municipalities in the same province and other provinces in the Netherlands, BZ-participants more often had a polygenic risk score linked to longevity, smoked less, consumed less alcohol and more fruit, biked more minutes, did more often paid work, practiced singing more often, attached higher importance to religion, and lived in a more walkable and livable environment. In contrast, BZ-participants had a slower walking speed, more depressive symptoms, felt less purpose in life, had a larger waist circumference, walked and did sports less often, consumed less vegetables, and exchanged less instrumental support. Other indicators of their physical and mental health and social connectedness did not substantially differ from non-BZ-participants. Rather than clues to healthy aging, our findings suggest factors conducive to longevity regardless of impaired health.

Evaluation of the Psychometric Properties of the Translated Physical Self-Perception Profile Among Chinese Breast Cancer Survivor

PurposeTo translate the original English version of Physical Self-Perception Profile into Cantonese Chinese, while considering linguistic and socio-cultural characteristics, and evaluate its psychometric properties among Chinese breast cancer survivors in Hong Kong, China, thus providing a valid, culturally relevant tool for assessing of the physical self-esteem among this population. MethodsThe 30-item Physical Self-Perception Profile was translated into Chinese by the combined translation technique. The psychometric properties of the Cantonese version of the Physical Self-Perception Profile were examined in 292 Hong Kong Chinese breast cancer survivors for internal consistency and test-retest reliability. A confirmatory factor analysis was conducted to evaluate the structural validity. A panel of 5 experts examined its content validity. The concurrent validity was examined by correlating the Physical Self-Perception Profile and a validated global self-esteem measure. ResultsThe Cantonese version of the Physical Self-Perception Profile demonstrated satisfactory content validity, also satisfactory internal consistency with Cronbach’s α ranging from 0.64 to 0.80, as well as good test-retest reliability, with an intra-class correlation coefficient ranging from 0.77 to 0.81. The confirmatory factor analysis showed a fairly good fit of the four-factor subdomain structure, namely, physical condition, physical strength, body attractiveness and sports competence. The concurrent validity of the Chinese-version Physical Self-Perception Profile was demonstrated by a significant positive correlation between the physical self-worth domain and four subdomains with global self-esteem. In addition, the four subdomains had statistically significant positive correlations with the physical self-worth domain indicating the instrument’s hierarchical structure. ConclusionsThe study translated the Physical Self-Perception Profile from English to Cantonese and demonstrated its desirable psychometric properties among Chinese Hong Kong breast cancer survivors. The linguistical and cultural adaptation of this instrument can serve as a valid and reliable tool for assessing physical self-esteem among breast cancer survivors in Hong Kong, China.

Cross-cultural validation of the genetic counseling outcome scale in Korea.

The Genetic Counseling Outcome Scale (GCOS-24) was developed to measure patient-reported outcomes to evaluate the effectiveness of genetic counseling and testing services. In the current study, the Korean version of GCOS (K-GCOS) was developed to reflect the sociocultural characteristics of Korea, and its clinical applicability was assessed. Overall, 231 Koreans, including patients with genetic diseases and their family members, participated and completed the K-GCOS, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), Multidimensional Health Locus of Control (MHLC) scale, and Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS). Validity was examined by assessing the correlations between K-GCOS scores and other relevant scale scores. Reliability was confirmed using Cronbach's alpha and test-retest scores, measured over 2 weeks. We performed exploratory factor analysis of the five structures of GCOS-24. For K-GCOS, four-factor structures were identified: "cognitive-behavioral control," "uncertainty about control," "hope," and "emotional regulation." Four original GCOS-24 items were removed because of low factor loadings and small inter-item correlations. K-GCOS-20 scores were positively correlated with SWLS (r = 0.456) and MHLC-internal (r = 0.213) scores but negatively correlated with HADS (anxiety r = -0.428, depression r = -0.469) and MHLC-internal (r = -0.278) scores. These findings demonstrate that K-GCOS-20 is a reliable and valid tool for evaluating genetic counseling services in Korea.

Applying a hierarchical Bayesian framework to reveal how fear and animal ownership drive human's valuation of and interactions with coyotes

AbstractHuman dimensions research is valuable to managing human‐wildlife interactions, especially in urban environments where such interactions are common. Survey data, which commonly contain Likert scales and questions, are useful in this field; however, these data can be difficult to analyze with formal modeling approaches. We demonstrate one approach, based on hierarchical Bayesian ordinal regression, to evaluate human‐coyote relationships in Rhode Island, USA. We implemented a survey to collect demographic and sociocultural characteristics of Rhode Island residents and information related to their knowledge of and experiences with coyotes. Our objectives were to assess how these characteristics affected respondents' valuation of and interactions (sightings and incidents) with coyotes. We analyzed 980 surveys from October to December 2020. We found that respondents who had fear of coyotes or experienced an incident between an owned animal and coyote, had the lowest valuation of coyotes. The same demographic of respondents also reported the highest sightings of and incidents with coyote. These results indicate that fearful residents, in addition to pet and livestock owners, are priority targets for disseminating information or programming about coyotes. Our analyses and findings demonstrate how Bayesian ordinal regression can provide clear and appropriate inference from survey data on how groups of people vary in their relationship with wildlife. These results are important in effectively and efficiently allocating resources towards mitigation, education, and management of human‐wildlife interactions.

Unpacking the discourse surrounding the impact agenda in the Hong Kong Research Assessment Exercise 2020

Abstract Research with economic utility and social value has been increasingly valued. Such an emphasis can be evidenced by the newly included assessment element of ‘societal impact’ in performance-based research funding (PBRF) schemes in different higher education systems around the world. This paper investigates how the non-academic impact is constructed and perceived in the Hong Kong Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) 2020, taking into account the local socio-cultural characteristics in the context of Hong Kong. Data sources include 13 impact case studies in the education panel submitted for the Hong Kong RAE 2020 and semi-structured interview with 17 education academics in Hong Kong. Findings revealed that the non-academic impact was constructed through a narrative pattern: (1) problem identification: tensions and synergies between local and international discourse; (2) problem resolution: prioritization of the evidence-based applied education research (with funding); (3) resolution dissemination: strategic employment of promotional genre. The paper discusses how decolonization, academic entrepreneurialism and collectivist culture have characterized the framing and understanding of the non-academic impact in the Hong Kong academia, contributing to the discourse on neoliberalism in higher education by providing a nuanced, local perspective on the impact agenda. Policy implications for a more localized and flexible impact agenda are also provided.

The ties that bind: Questions for studying families in neighborhood contexts

AbstractScholars agree that understanding of family is incomplete without attention to context. Research and theory establish that neighborhoods are a proximal context for family life. However, research on the connections between neighborhoods and family processes remains limited in several ways. The overarching goal of this paper is to advance on existing knowledge of neighborhoods and families to elucidate key issues for future research. This paper begins with a brief review of existing theory and research on the connections between neighborhoods and families. Building on prior work, this paper then introduces a set of conceptually and methodologically driven questions that address limitations in: (1) how neighborhood qualities, as they relate to family wellbeing, are currently defined and measured, (2) how neighborhood effects are transmitted and if there are mutual influences between neighborhood and family processes, and (3) how transmission between neighborhoods and families varies according to sociocultural characteristics. These questions outline initial steps in clarifying and synthesizing previous conceptualizations and empirical study of neighborhoods and family dynamics. In addition, these ideas bring attention to understudied factors in research on neighborhoods and families and offer suggestions for future investigations.
