PERSPECTIVES OF OLDER RURAL CANCER SURVIVORS ON REMOTELY DELIVERED ENHANCE FITNESS

Abstract Exercise is recommended for healthy aging and to counteract long term effects of cancer and cancer treatment. Older cancer survivors living in rural communities face unique challenges to accessing exercise opportunities including fewer in-person program options, transportation barriers, and lack of safe, outdoor infrastructure. Remotely delivered exercise provides opportunities to overcome many of the documented barriers to exercise for this underserved population. The purpose of this study was to examine perspectives from older rural cancer survivors after participating in remotely delivered Enhance Fitness group exercise (Tele-EF). We conducted semi-structured interviews with 27 older cancer survivors living in rural communities (mean age 70.8 ±5.7, 81% female) after they completed 16-weeks of Tele-EF. All interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed. Transcripts from the interviews were coded using inductive thematic analysis. Analysis and discussion of the codes resulted in iterative mapping of key themes to the Capability Opportunity and Motivation Behavioral (COM-B) framework. Emergent themes related to Tele-EF included: 1. Capability: Improvements in psychological and physical capacity to exercise resulted from supportive instruction, experiential learning, and exercise modifications by trained instructors. 2. Opportunity: Barriers of transportation and weather were eliminated while technology, when functioning, afforded accessibility at home; comradery prompted consistent attendance. 3. Motivation for exercise was enhanced through improved capability, opportunity, and functional improvement. Tele-EF facilitates exercise engagement for older rural cancer survivors through constructs identified in the COM-B framework. Future work should examine how to optimize technology for engaging older rural cancer survivors in synchronous, remote exercise.

Creative art therapies in the treatment of adolescents with eating disorders: An integrative review and thematic network analysis

Eating disorders, prevalent mental health conditions, affect between 0.1 % and 3.8 % of the general population and 1.1 % of adolescents in Europe. Evidence suggests that the peak age of onset is 15.5 years. The recent and ongoing integration of creative art therapies into clinical settings suggest mental health benefits, and their application has been extended to different disorders and populations including eating disorders. However, there is a paucity of research focusing specifically on adolescents. Therefore, the present integrative review identified and summarized research conducted with creative art therapies in the treatment of adolescents diagnosed with an eating disorder. Additionally, a thematic network analysis facilitated the identification and mapping of relevant clinical themes. A database search in English and German, conducted according to the PRISMA 2020 guidelines, resulted in the selection of ten articles. A thematic network analysis of both qualitative (n = 7) and quantitative (n = 3) studies, allowed the extraction of six global themes: identity, relationships, empowerment, hope, re-signify and defence. Themes were explored and described individually and intertwined. Results suggested consistency of creative art therapies interventions with other psychotherapeutic approaches for the treatment of eating disorders. Furthermore, their apparent developmental appropriateness for the adolescent population and the potential for strengthening the therapeutic process were highlighted.

Groundwater potential zone mapping using AHP and geospatial techniques in the upper Narmada basin, central India

Water scarcity occurs in the agriculturally dominated Upper catchment area of Narmada River, Central India because of the overexploitation of underground water for residential, industrial, and other uses. Delineating the Ground Water Potential Zone (GWPZ) is critical to meeting the area’s water demand. Finding the Upper catchment Narmada River groundwater potential zone is the primary goal of this study. The study uses geographical methodologies based on the Analytical Hierarchical Process (AHP). To create a GWPZ map, ArcGIS 10.4 software compiles eight thematic layers, including elevation, slope, drainage density, geology, rainfall, soil texture, modified normalized difference water index, topographic wetness index, and land use/cover. There are five classifications for land use land cover map: Very low, low, moderate, high, and Very high. Each theme map in this study was given a weight based on its unique attributes and contribution to the GWP capacity. The AHP method, which takes into account each layer’s relative relevance regarding the others, was used to establish the weights. Four groups were created from the resulting groundwater potential map: excellent, good, moderate, and poor. According to the study, 26.05% of the basin was categorized as excellent, 34.59% as good, 23.97% as moderate, and 15.4% as poor groundwater potential.The results of this study further indicate that a sizable section of the Narmada River Basin has well to moderate groundwater potential, pointing to encouraging prospects for the area’s sustainable groundwater use. The study offers crucial insights for planners and policymakers to conscientiously harness groundwater resources, fostering sustainable development across diverse land uses in the fragile zone of the upper catchment of the Narmada, and it serves as a model for simulation in other sensitive river basins. The implications of the study are geared towards enhancing groundwater prospects, revitalizing fragile riverine ecosystems, and achieving the target outlined in Goal 6 of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of 2030.

The Ontology of Urban Governance: A Framework for Pathways to Sustainable Urban Transition

Evidence on urban governance has expanded but is fragmented and inadequate. It fails to articulate the complexity of urban governance in a way that would facilitate effective urban transitions. Using a conceptual-cognitive lens, this article describes a method to move away from governance solutions based on functional silos to those based on multidimensional, sustainable systems. Based on a combination of concepts from public policy, governance, public administration, and urban service management, it frames the problem of urban governance as a comprehensive conceptual-cognitive map of the domain. The study validates the framework through expert feedback and the mapping of the literature on urban governance in India between 2018 and 2020. The monad map and theme map emphasise the ontology’s applicability as a methodological tool for evidence generation. The analysis reveals a need to reconfigure urban governance pathways to work towards a sustainable future. The article concludes by offering new conceptual constructs of governance pathways to enhance the policies and practices that shape such transitions.

Physical activity promotion in the community pharmacy: An opportunity for an expanded role?

BackgroundPhysical inactivity is a major risk factor for the development of chronic diseases, and it is increasingly prevalent in the Portuguese population. Pharmacists’ role in promoting physical activity (PA) is still not well established, although health promotion is foreseen by law in Portugal. Competing tasks and location where the pharmacy is embedded can hinder this promotion in their daily practice. ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to identify the main barriers and facilitators of physical activity promotion (PAP) in Portuguese community pharmacies and explore possible pathways for future implementation of physical activity promotion. MethodsIn-depth, semi-structured interviews were conducted with purposively enrolled community pharmacists. Participant recruitment was aligned with data saturation. Data analysis comprised a mixed model of a deductive theme mapping strategy using the Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF) for the behaviour of promoting physical activity and an inductive approach for any other relevant themes and which might influence PA promotion. ResultsData saturation was reached at eleven interviews. Barriers and facilitators for the behaviour of promoting PA were identified from 11 out of the 14 TDF domains. Following an inductive approach, other emerging codes were clustered in additional seven major themes. Highlighted barriers focused on domains #1 – Knowledge, #10 – Memory, Attention and Decision Processes and #13 – Environmental Context and Resources. Community mapping, establishment of remuneration models and the use of digital technologies were suggested as additional potential contributors to scale up PAP. ConclusionCommunity pharmacists are well placed inside their communities to serve as a focal point for signposting, engagement with other healthcare professionals and community resources and activities organized by the pharmacy itself. Pharmacists should be supported in being knowledgeable, aware, and available when promoting PA in their daily counseling.

Seeing beyond silos in labour productivity research and policy

Abstract How policymakers and academics organize and visualize core ideas affects how they define and perceive problems and generate policy solutions. While understanding complex ideas—such as productivity—as the product of a set of discrete inputs can help target inquiry and structure policy interventions, this can also lead to siloed thinking that neglects dynamic effects and interactions between elements. This paper explores how three organizations conceptualize the ‘productivity puzzle’ and suggests that they might be oversimplifying the roots of productivity. We present a systematic review of labour productivity literature using bibliometric coupling and network analysis to develop an alternative framework and map of themes and gaps. This work encourages policy to (1) adopt a systems lens and perceive productivity as the product of dynamic interactions and (2) think critically about how to structure future research on productivity.

The Role of Women in the Church in Botswana

AbstractThis article explores the role and contribution of women in the church with a specific focus on Reverend Boiketlo T. Ngwako of the Revelation Blessed Peace Church in Botswana (RBPC). The paper examines the contribution and experiences of Reverend Ngwako in a male‐dominated church in Botswana. Data was collected through personal observations and by attending church services, listening to the testimonies, preaching, singing, and prayers of members of the RBPC as led by Reverend Ngwako. Reverend Ngwako, the key participant, was interviewed to understand her role and contribution in the life of the church and to collect data on her views on a wide range of issues, such as politics. Content analysis of the data allowed the mapping of different themes of Ngwako's development as a minister of religion in the context of a male‐dominated Christian leadership and cultural environment. The results suggest that the cultural environment and the biblical doctrines of the church have an impact on the development and ministry of a pastor. The study concludes that biblical doctrine is interpreted and understood in the light of Tswana cultural contexts, which continue to have an impact on her ministry, gender relations, and leadership style.

Identifying the type of transition experienced by newly qualified physics teachers entering the workplace

ABSTRACT This study examines teachers’ experiences of transition at different points in time over a two-year period to encapsulate their journey to becoming a qualified teacher. Six novice teachers participated in a study in their final year of university through to their first year as a newly qualified teacher. Reflective journals, one-to-one interviews and qualitative surveys formed that database for reflexive thematic analysis and theme maps. Schlossberg’s indicators for identifying transition were then related to the analysed data to establish the type of transition experienced by teachers. Findings from the study shed light on the overlapping nature of transitions experienced by novice teachers and highlight opportunities for professional learning to aid for the smoothening of these transitions for aspiring teachers.

Machine Visions: Mapping Depictions of Machine Vision through AI Image Synthesis

This paper conducts a speculative examination of how AI image synthesisers, which generate novel imagery in response to inputted textual prompts — such as DALL-E, Midjourney, and Stable Diffusion — can be employed reflexively to investigate cultural representations of machine vision technologies. Such work can be framed methodologically as a form of ‘critical image synthesis’: the prompting of imagery that variously interrogates and makes visible the structural biases and cultural imperatives encoded within their originating architectures. In framing AI image synthesisers as an inverted form of machine vision — as generating, rather than classifying imagery through text — an opportunity is afforded to consider how they reflexively characterise themselves within their own latent spaces of representational possibility. Specifically, what kinds of imagery do these systems yield in response to prompts centring on keywords associated with machine vision technologies? And what does this reveal concerning how machine vision is represented and characterised across wider culture? This paper will empirically analyse a selection of prompted outputs from Stable Diffusion V2, treating them as a speculative mapping of contemporary visual themes and imaginaries surrounding machine vision technologies. This paper will then conclude by placing these outputs into dialogue with the author’s own creative practices involving machine vision, generating new image-text combinations that aim to provoke speculative analyses along alternative critical vectors.

Thematic Progression Pattern in Al-Hikam Aphorism Arabic – Bahasa Indonesia and Arabic – English; Systemic Functional Linguistic Approach

This research investigated the information structure in translated texts Arabic – Bahasa Indonesia and Arabic – English, and how the structure is developed in terms of thematic progression pattern, so the text can be cohesive. This study also examines whether there is a topic change from the source language (SL) to the target language (TL). The method used in this study was divided into three phases: data collection, data analysis, and research report. The total of data used in this research were 435 clauses with thematic structure from 100 aphorisms in al-Hikam aphorisms Arab – Bahasa Indonesia and Arabic – English. The high percentage of unmarked topical theme shows that, textually, the information distribution in the aphorisms Arabic – Bahasa Indonesia and Arabic – English is organized in a coherent and systematic way. There are 64.35% of unmarked topical theme in Arabic – Bahasa Indonesia, and there are 59.62% in Arabic – English. The linear and zig zag progression patterns do not experience shift. Meanwhile, there is a shift in the multiple and distributed patterns. This has an impact on the level of cohesion and wholeness of the message in the thematic structure of al-Hikam aphorisms. Contextually, this research contributes to the study of cross-language and cross-cultural. A translator must be more careful in translating aphorisms in both Arabic – Bahasa Indonesia and Arabic – English since the progression patterns are multiple and distributed. Based on these results, it can be concluded that Theme mapping in information structure is an important thing that a translator should pay attention to.

The Six Decades of the Capital Asset Pricing Model: A Research Agenda

This paper re-examines the presence of the Sharpe–Treynor–Lintner–Mossin capital asset pricing model (CAPM) in the finance literature and is accompanied by a bibliometric summary analysis. The popular model is in its sixth decade; we summarized the relevance of the CAPM using publication and citation trends, as well as identifying its most prolific and impactful contributors. This paper is based on a systematic review of the literature and was completed with the help of various bibliometric techniques. During the study process, we presented a map of various themes and areas of the CAPM and its evolution. Our findings indicate that the extant literature on this topic (the cost of capital, asset pricing, portfolio, risk management, beta, systematic risk, and value premium) is based on the principles and assumptions of the CAPM. We are considering suggestions on the future use, trend, and direction of the CAPM, based on our summary of thematically developed clusters.
