Towards a sustainable future in the age of polycrisis

Our generation lives in an age of polycrisis. Polycrisis is a phenomenon where various single crises interact in ways that lead to an overall negative impact that is more significant than the sum of each issue. The age of polycrisis poses a considerable threat to humanity. Since the age of polycrisis results from human actions, humans are responsible for addressing it. As such, an ultimate roadmap and in-depth sustainability transformations are needed across all sectors. This raises a quest for a unified social contract that can engage everybody to promote the well-being of people and the planet locally, regionally, and globally. Our paper explores a holistic picture of a social transformation process to address the challenges of the age of polycrisis. We put together a new social contract, different actors (civic society, private sector, public sector, decision-makers), and specific focus areas of actors to implement the goals of Agenda 2030. Each societal sector has a unique role to play in this transformation. The private sector can drive innovation and investment, the public sector can provide governance and regulation, civic society can advocate for change and hold other sectors accountable, and decision-makers can provide leadership and coordination. A new social contract called “Society’s Commitment to Sustainable Development” can foster societal transformation towards sustainability with the involvement of these different societal sectors. The widespread commitment of public and private sectors as well as civil society can be an effective driver when implementing Agenda 2030 goals to build a more sustainable future. We, the current generation, have power to make a difference regarding international collaboration, national decision-making, industries, households – even down to the choices we make in our everyday lives. The future is shaped by the decisions we make today.

Transgender health research needed.

Ever since the Cass Review was released in April-an evaluation by the United Kingdom's National Health Service that has led to a ban on pubertysuppressing medication for transgender and gender diverse (TGD) youth-there has been criticism of the assessment and its recommendations, and concern about how it could be leveraged to more broadly affect public health care. In response, physicians, researchers, and major medical organizations worldwide have emphasized that scientific studies point to the benefits of medical interventions supporting gender affirmation. Indeed, more care innovation is needed, driven by community-led research, to improve the well-being of TGD people in ways that can benefit all of society.

Behavioral insights on individual and social adaptation to automated mobility using a serious game

IntroductionSerious games generate a virtual environment where players are immersed in simulated conflicts, guided by distinct rules. They replicate intricate systems, like transportation, encouraging social engagement via reinforced learning. Unlike preference-based studies, these games offer enhanced real-time feedback on players' actions. Thus, they reveal how user experience and social interaction influence decision-making over time. We use a serious game to study the willingness of travelers to adopt automated mobility, specifically shared modes of transport, an important step toward alleviating congestion, enhancing the quality of urban living, and improving people's health and well-being. MethodsFor each scenario, 100 participants were randomly divided into ten groups of ten interacting players. They chose independently out of three automated transportation modes - shared ride, shared car, and automated transit-over 50 simulated days how to commute to work. They aimed to maximize their overall score by arriving punctually, which was influenced by their mode and departure time and the choices of fellow players. Cross-nested logit kernel choice models were estimated based on the game data. ResultsIn the recurring congestion scenario players learned to adopt the shared ride at the expense of transit; in the nonrecurring congestion scenario, random incidents increased the use of transit and shared car (ride alone). ConclusionsCongested traffic motivated a shift to ridesharing at the expense of private rides and public transport; however, the latter was highly demanded when traffic became unsmooth and travel times more uncertain. The implications can be translated to health promoting polices to encourage sustainable travel behaviors while also improving transportation efficiency.

Advances and future directions in ROS1 fusion-positive lung cancer.

ROS1 gene fusions are an established oncogenic driver comprising 1%-2% of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Successful targeting of ROS1 fusion oncoprotein with oral small-molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) has revolutionized the treatment landscape of metastatic ROS1 fusion-positive (ROS1+) NSCLC and transformed outcomes for patients. The preferred Food and Drug Administration-approved first-line therapies include crizotinib, entrectinib, and repotrectinib, and currently, selection amongst these options requires consideration of the systemic and CNS efficacy, tolerability, and access to therapy. Of note, resistance to ROS1 TKIs invariably develops, limiting the clinical benefit of these agents and leading to disease relapse. Progress in understanding the molecular mechanisms of resistance has enabled the development of numerous next-generation ROS1 TKIs, which achieve broader coverage of ROS1 resistance mutations and superior CNS penetration than first-generation TKIs, as well as other therapeutic strategies to address TKI resistance. The approach to subsequent therapy depends on the pace and pattern of progressive disease on the initial ROS1 TKI and, if known, the mechanisms of TKI resistance. Herein, we describe a practical approach for the selection of initial and subsequent therapies for metastatic ROS1+ NSCLC based on these clinical considerations. Additionally, we explore the evolving evidence for the optimal treatment of earlier-stage, non-metastatic ROS1+ NSCLC, while, in parallel, highlighting future research directions with the goal of continuing to build on the tremendous progress in the management of ROS1+ NSCLC and ultimately improving the longevity and well-being of people living with this disease.

Muzima Mobile Application for Screening Hypertension and Diabetes: A User Experience of the App Among Community Health Workers in Rwanda.

Mobile technology has become the leading utility in the social and well-being of people especially in low-resource settings. The use of mobile applications in healthcare promise to improve care and treatment. This study explored the user experience of muzima mobile application among community health workers in Rwanda. We used three data collection methods: observation, Key informant interviews and focus group discussions. We analysed data using thematic content analysis. We found that users were able to complete tasks in the app although some less experienced and older participants struggled to complete the tasks. Users felt that the application helped them to screen and manage patients with diabetes and hypertension in the community which reduced frequent visits to the health centers. Users felt that the application needs improvements in the workflow to facilitate the ease of use. They suggested to digitse other health programs implemented by community health workers. To improve the use and ensure wider implementation, there is a need to consider users' needs and concerns as discussed in this paper.

Assessment of state policy and legal framework related to enhancing the well-being of the elderly in Thailand

The ageing of society significantly influences the economic system and social stability and is a global challenge of the 21st century. The study aimed to explore ways to improve the quality of life of older people in the Lower Central Region of Thailand. The study was based on a qualitative approach and was conducted by collecting information from 8 key informants through structured interviews. The study substantiated the expediency of creating a centralised database to improve communication between all actors in the system of ensuring the welfare of the elderly, which improves the quality of services provided, contributes to a better basis for political decisions and promotes a more rational use of resources. The study noted that key respondents identify expanding access to healthcare, increasing financial assistance and strengthening social support systems to ensure the holistic well-being of older people as urgent problems in the region. The need for wider use of the latest technologies and the creation of an intelligent information management system in the area of elderly people’s welfare is emphasised in the study. Given the negative impact of social isolation on the quality of life of older people, particular attention is devoted to the effective management of senior clubs, namely the priority of various activities, intergenerational interaction and meaningful leisure to strengthen social ties and belonging to society. The integration of Buddhist principles and psychological theories is emphasised as an important tool for developing compassion, mindfulness and positive outcomes. Overall, the findings highlight the importance of integrated approaches and comprehensive measures to optimise care for older people and improve their well-being. The results of the study can be used to determine the content of information to be included in the centralised database and to develop an algorithm for exchanging information between its users

Refining the Universal, School-Based OurFutures Mental Health Program to Be Trauma Informed, Gender and Sexuality Diversity Affirmative, and Adherent to Proportionate Universalism: Mixed Methods Participatory Design Process.

Mental disorders are the leading cause of disease burden among youth. Effective prevention of mental disorders during adolescence is a critical public health strategy to reduce both individual and societal harms. Schools are an important setting for prevention; however, existing universal school-based mental health interventions have shown null, and occasionally iatrogenic, effects in preventing symptoms of common disorders, such as depression and anxiety. This study aims to report the adaptation process of an established, universal, school-based prevention program for depression and anxiety, OurFutures Mental Health. Using a 4-stage process; triangulating quantitative, qualitative, and evidence syntheses; and centering the voices of young people, the revised program is trauma-informed; lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, nonbinary, queer, questioning, and otherwise gender and sexuality diverse (LGBTQA+) affirmative; relevant to contemporary youth; and designed to tailor intervention dosage to those who need it most (proportionate universalism). Program adaptation occurred from April 2022 to July 2023 and involved 4 stages. Stage 1 comprised mixed methods analysis of student evaluation data (n=762; mean age 13.5, SD 0.62 y), collected immediately after delivering the OurFutures Mental Health program in a previous trial. Stage 2 consisted of 3 focus groups with high school students (n=39); regular meetings with a purpose-built, 8-member LGBTQA+ youth advisory committee; and 2 individual semistructured, in-depth interviews with LGBTQA+ young people via Zoom (Zoom Video Communications) or WhatsApp (Meta) text message. Stage 3 involved a clinical psychologist providing an in-depth review of all program materials with the view of enhancing readability, improving utility, and normalizing emotions while retaining key cognitive behavioral therapy elements. Finally, stage 4 involved fortnightly consultations among researchers and clinicians on the intervention adaptation, drawing on the latest evidence from existing literature in school-based prevention interventions, trauma-informed practice, and adolescent mental health. Drawing on feedback from youth, clinical psychologists, and expert youth mental health researchers, sourced from stages 1 to 4, a series of adaptations were made to the storylines, characters, and delivery of therapeutic content contained in the weekly manualized program content, classroom activities, and weekly student and teacher lesson summaries. The updated OurFutures Mental Health program is a trauma-informed, LBGTQA+ affirmative program aligned with the principles of proportionate universalism. The program adaptation responds to recent mixed findings on universal school-based mental health prevention programs, which include null, small beneficial, and small iatrogenic effects. The efficacy of the refined OurFutures Mental Health program is currently being tested through a cluster randomized controlled trial with up to 1400 students in 14 schools across Australia. It is hoped that the refined program will advance the current stalemate in universal school-based prevention of common mental disorders and ultimately improve the mental health and well-being of young people in schools.

Who can Benefit From Volunteer Participation? Analysis of Wellbeing Heterogeneity in Volunteer Participation of Older People.

The basic premise of this study is that the traditional method to treating all older people as coming from the same distribution misspecifies the true model and ignores potentially important information in wellbeing outcomes of social participation. Using data from the China Longitudinal Aging Social Survey (CLASS), this paper proposes a finite mixture model (FMM) to identify the heterogeneous relationship between volunteer participation and older people's subjective well-being (SWB) and then explore the determinants of wellbeing heterogeneity in volunteer participation. The results reveal that older people can be classified into two latent subgroups, that is the volunteering beneficiary group (accounting for about 42%) and the volunteering non-beneficiary group (accounting for about 58%). The FMM is therefore more appropriate in estimating the complex impact of volunteering. Rural older people with poorer health, weaker social networks, better economic status, and better community environments are more likely to benefit from volunteer participation. Our findings have suggested some practical implications to increase the probability of benefit from volunteer participation.

Effectiveness Of Distribution Of Social Assistance For The Family Hope Program In An Effort To Maintain Accountability Of Reports (Case Study Of Social Service Of Sukabumi Regency)

The distribution of social assistance for the Family Hope Program (PKH) by the Sukabumi Regency Social Service has generally been effective in increasing access for beneficiary families (KPM) to education and health and easing the economic burden of poor families. Although there are some challenges in reaching all families who meet the criteria, most beneficiaries are satisfied with the program. Overall, The Family Hope Program in Sukabumi Regency has successfully supported poverty alleviation efforts and improved community welfare, although improvement efforts are still needed to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the program. The type of research used by the author is a qualitative descriptive method, the data processed is data obtained from the results of interviews and unstructured observations that will be analyzed qualitatively and described in descriptive form. The Social Service needs to continue to improve the verification and validation process of recipient data to ensure that assistance really reaches families in need. This process must involve the use of more sophisticated technology and applications, which can help minimize data errors and increase accuracy in determining beneficiaries. It is hoped that the distribution of PKH social assistance in Sukabumi Regency can run more effectively and efficiently and provide maximum positive impact on the welfare of people in need.

Analysing The Implementation of Agrarian Reform Policy in Supporting National Resilience

Agrarian reform is a strategic policy that aims to redistribute land to the community, tiny farmers, and tenants to reduce land ownership inequality and improve people's welfare. Land inequality in Indonesia is very high, with the land tenure Gini index reaching 0.68, higher than the income Gini index, which stands at 0.388. This inequality not only creates socio-economic problems such as poverty and agrarian conflict but also impacts national resilience. This research uses SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) analysis to evaluate the implementation of agrarian reform policy and determine the right strategy to accelerate its implementation in supporting national resilience. This analysis identifies several strengths in the agrarian reform policy, such as government commitment and adequate infrastructure support. However, areas for improvement, such as lack of optimization of access to agrarian reform programs and slow resolution of land disputes, were also found. Opportunities include community empowerment and increased economic resources, while threats come from resistance from parties with specific interests and challenges in land redistribution. The results of this analysis are expected to provide strategic recommendations to improve the implementation of agrarian reform policies, such as strengthening cross-sectoral cooperation, increasing socialization and training, and improving access to information for the community. Thus, an effective agrarian reform program is expected to enhance community welfare and contribute to national resilience.

Exploring the subjective well-being of elderly Orang Seletar indigenous people in Johor, Malaysia

The subjective well-being (SWB) concept specific to the elderly Orang Asli is still vague, with limited research. Understanding SWB can give a holistic picture of elderly Orang Asli’s well-being status because SWB considers individual evaluations and perspectives based on life experiences in various dimensions relevant to the elderly Orang Asli’s culture, language, belief system, and lifestyle. Therefore, this paper aims to explore the concept of SWB of elderly Orang Seletar. An exploratory case study research design is implemented in this qualitative study. 15 informants who participated in an in-depth interview session in Kampung Bakar Batu Perling, Johor Bahru, and aged 50 years old and above. Based on the findings of the study, there were seven major themes in discussing the concept of SWB which are (i) sufficiency; (ii) comfort; (iii) satisfaction; (iv) preference/favorite; (v) happiness; (vi) tranquillity and (vii) awareness. The finding of the study shows that there were eight domains of SWB of elderly Orang Asli Seletar which are (i) physical health; (ii) mental health; (iii) family and community; (iv) sea and nature; (v) culture preservation; (vi) basic needs; (vii) education; and (viii) spiritual. In conclusion, SWB should be the core element to determine the development of elderly Orang Seletar to ensure their thrive. From mainstream society’s eye, elderly Orang Seletar’s lives may be seen as inadequate and modest. However, it is different from what is felt by them.

Approaches for the Use of AI in Workplace Health Promotion and Prevention: Systematic Scoping Review.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is an umbrella term for various algorithms and rapidly emerging technologies with huge potential for workplace health promotion and prevention (WHPP). WHPP interventions aim to improve people's health and well-being through behavioral and organizational measures or by minimizing the burden of workplace-related diseases and associated risk factors. While AI has been the focus of research in other health-related fields, such as public health or biomedicine, the transition of AI into WHPP research has yet to be systematically investigated. The systematic scoping review aims to comprehensively assess an overview of the current use of AI in WHPP. The results will be then used to point to future research directions. The following research questions were derived: (1) What are the study characteristics of studies on AI algorithms and technologies in the context of WHPP? (2) What specific WHPP fields (prevention, behavioral, and organizational approaches) were addressed by the AI algorithms and technologies? (3) What kind of interventions lead to which outcomes? A systematic scoping literature review (PRISMA-ScR [Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews]) was conducted in the 3 academic databases PubMed, Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, and Association for Computing Machinery in July 2023, searching for papers published between January 2000 and December 2023. Studies needed to be (1) peer-reviewed, (2) written in English, and (3) focused on any AI-based algorithm or technology that (4) were conducted in the context of WHPP or (5) an associated field. Information on study design, AI algorithms and technologies, WHPP fields, and the patient or population, intervention, comparison, and outcomes framework were extracted blindly with Rayyan and summarized. A total of 10 studies were included. Risk prevention and modeling were the most identified WHPP fields (n=6), followed by behavioral health promotion (n=4) and organizational health promotion (n=1). Further, 4 studies focused on mental health. Most AI algorithms were machine learning-based, and 3 studies used combined deep learning algorithms. AI algorithms and technologies were primarily implemented in smartphone apps (eg, in the form of a chatbot) or used the smartphone as a data source (eg, Global Positioning System). Behavioral approaches ranged from 8 to 12 weeks and were compared to control groups. Additionally, 3 studies evaluated the robustness and accuracy of an AI model or framework. Although AI has caught increasing attention in health-related research, the review reveals that AI in WHPP is marginally investigated. Our results indicate that AI is promising for individualization and risk prediction in WHPP, but current research does not cover the scope of WHPP. Beyond that, future research will profit from an extended range of research in all fields of WHPP, longitudinal data, and reporting guidelines. OSF Registries osf.io/bfswp; https://osf.io/bfswp.

Insights from 25 years of onabotulinumtoxinA in migraine - mechanisms and management.

OnabotulinumtoxinA (BTX-A) was first linked to beneficial effects in migraine 25 years ago and was approved by the FDA for preventive treatment of chronic migraine in 2010. The treatment has since had a major impact on the well-being of people with chronic migraine. The clinical development programme for BTX-A and research since its approval have provided insights into the neuromodulatory sensory effect of BTX-A, how it can control chronic migraine despite its peripheral action, and the underlying biology of migraine as a disease. In this Review, we consider the impact that BTX-A has had on the management of chronic migraine and on the research field. We discuss the insights provided by clinical research, encompassing the clinical trials and subsequent real-world evidence, and the mechanistic insights provided by preclinical and translational research. We also provide an overview of future directions of research in the field BTX-A in migraine and the clinical translation of this research.

Marginalized voices: a qualitative exploration of multilevel environmental barriers to assistive technology use among hispanics

Purpose Assistive technology (AT) can increase or maintain the quality of life and overall well-being of people with disabilities. Nevertheless, access to AT is limited among Hispanics with disabilities in the United States (U.S.). AT research representing the experiences of Hispanics is limited, potentially leading to disparities in AT use. Moreover, poor inclusion of Hispanics neglects the needs of this population, resulting in discrepancies in research, practice, and policy related to AT. To address these limitations, this study aimed to identify and explore multilevel environmental barriers to AT use among a sample of Hispanics in the U.S. Methods This was a descriptive qualitative research design study guided by the Social Ecological Model framework using in-depth interviews to collect data. Nine Hispanic individuals with disabilities and their caregivers who received AT services at the University of Illinois at Chicago Assistive Technology Unit outpatient clinic were interviewed. Data was analyzed using a qualitative thematic analysis approach. Results Barriers to AT use were found to exist in all levels of the Social Ecological Model. The most common barriers to AT use were identified in the community domain, which was related to the lack of AT information, and in the societal domain, which was related to sociocultural norms and the availability of AT funding, policies, and regulations. Conclusions The participants’ lived experiences and perspectives underscored that environmental barriers to AT use are not isolated occurrences; rather, systemic attitudes permeate across all levels of the Social Ecological Model.

Innovate, insulate, integrate: Embracing circular economy in innovative insulations for reduced air conditioning expenses and carbon mitigation in fly ash brick buildings

Global demand for energy in the construction sector has increased drastically. A substantial portion of this energy belongs to fulfilling the heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning requirements of buildings, which are essential for maintaining the well-being of people. The development of zero-energy or environmentally friendly structures is required to attain a sustainable future. Strategic design of the building’s envelopes in green energy buildings can reduce air conditioning expenses. This article focuses on several insulation-integrated fly ash brick wall envelopes that have been designed to reduce CO2 emissions, reduce air conditioning expenses, and figure out payback times in warm-temperate and hot-arid regions. The degree-hour technique for heating and cooling, as well as unsteady heat transfer characteristics, are taken into consideration in this research. This is achieved by incorporating thirteen innovative insulation materials into fly ash bricks in three distinct configurations, (i.e., insulation layer near to the outer end of the fly ash block, on the middle of the fly ash block, and near to the inside end of the fly ash block). Experimental measurements were carried out to determine the thermo-physical characteristics of insulation materials. The analytical findings are confirmed through experimental validation. In hot-arid and composite climatic zones, placing an insulation layer (cloth-40/foam-60) near the outer end of the fly ash block resulted in the highest savings on air-conditioning costs of 0.89 $/m2 and 0.90 $/m2, respectively. They also achieved the highest carbon mitigation values at 17.2 and 16.8 kg/kWh. Insulation-integrated wall envelopes represent the pinnacle of energy efficiency in green building design, seamlessly combining advanced insulation materials with cutting-edge construction techniques to minimise energy consumption and maximise sustainability.

A Study of the Impact of Household Wealth Accumulation on the Well-being of the Population

Happiness is the ultimate goal of a good life for residents, and high-quality wealth accumulation is an important force for improving people's well-being. Based on the 2015, 2017 and 2019 China Household Finance Survey (CHFS) survey data, this paper examines the effect of household wealth on residents' happiness using a fixed-effects probit model. It is found that, first, an increase in household wealth significantly increases residents' happiness. The greater the accumulation of household wealth, the happier the residents, and the conclusion still holds after a series of robustness tests. Second, household wealth accumulation has a more pronounced effect on the happiness of residents in the eastern region and a stronger effect on the happiness of urban residents. Third, family wealth accumulation has a stronger effect on the happiness of residents with middle and high levels of education than those with low levels of education. The conclusions of the study are of great significance for regulating the mechanism of family wealth accumulation, strengthening residents' sense of well-being and promoting the high-quality development of society.

Edukasi dan Antisipasi Gurita dan Budaya Korupsi Melalui Sentuhan Kejiwaan dan Pendekatan Agama

Corruption is an unlawful act that has an impact on material and state financial losses, and also has an impact on the obstruction of infrastructure development programs and the development of people's welfare. Constitutionally, the poverty felt by the people is the responsibility of the state, but with acts of corruption, people are forced to become poor so that people are neglected from the control and protection of the state. This means that acts and deeds of corruption are evil acts that must be a concern so that they do not occur and must receive maximum punishment, the people are also educated to view acts of corruption as a common enemy and a crime that cannot be tolerated. This study aims to provide guidelines so that acts of corruption can be minimized with various approaches, including through a religious approach.

The Role and Legal Aspects of Infaq, Sadaqah, and Waqf in Realizing Economic Equality and People's Welfare

Infaq, sadaqah, and waqf are crucial instruments in promoting and realizing an economy characterized by justice and widespread community welfare. However, there are several challenges in fulfilling their significant roles, including the lack of awareness and understanding among the public regarding the concepts of Islamic philanthropy. Therefore, this research focuses on the contribution of infaq in achieving community welfare and social solidarity, the tangible expression of social concern through sadaqah in Islam, and the regulation of waqf in Indonesia. This study employs a qualitative research approach, utilizing descriptive analytical methods. The findings of this research highlight that infaq has a strong relevance to its contributions to society. By optimally implementing the concept of infaq, it can provide substantial contributions in several crucial aspects of community life. Sadaqah, as a tangible expression of social concern in Islam, has significantly contributed to fostering mutual care and has implications for the equitable distribution of wealth among the community. Furthermore, the optimization of waqf implementation in Indonesia is realized based on Law No. 41 of 2004 on Waqf, the Compilation of Islamic Law Articles 215 to 229, and Government Regulation No. 28 of 1977 on Endowments.

Materialistic happiness is negatively associated with meaning in life: Aserial double mediation model.

Materialism refers to values that equate materialistic possessions with happiness and success. Gathering materialistic possessions is also central to materialists' life. Extant research has widely shown that materialism is detrimental to people's well-being, but its influences on meaning in life are less clear. In this article, we address two principal research questions within the framework of self-determination theory: First, we explore the association between varying dimensions of materialism and the perceived meaning in life; second, we investigate the factors that mediate the relationship between materialistic values and meaning in life. Two cross-sectional online survey studies (Study 1: 190 Chinese participants; Study 2: 767 participants [mainly Caucasians] from Prolific) were conducted to test a hypothesized serial double mediation model, in which basic psychological needs satisfaction and subjective well-being were the two serial factors mediating the materialistic happiness to meaning in life relationship. Among the three materialism values, only materialistic happiness was negatively associated with meaning in life. Basic psychological needs satisfaction and subjective well-being serially mediated the relationship. Theoretical and practical implications were discussed.

Socialization and Assistance in the Implementation of Social Assistance for the Dalegan Village Community, Gresik Regency

One of the government's efforts to improve the welfare of the Indonesian people, especially for people living below the poverty line, is the social assistance program. However, some people cannot utilize the social assistance program effectively due to a lack of understanding and access to information about the program. The purpose of community service activities is to increase public awareness and understanding of the various types of social assistance available so that community service activities can help the community in the process of applying for and receiving social assistance. It is expected that the social assistance program will be distributed on target through an approach and assistance involving village officials, community leaders, and direct assistance to village communities. Direct assistance to village communities can also be carried out to ensure that the social assistance distribution information system runs well. The results of community service activities can improve the welfare of village communities, reduce social disparities, increase the transparency of social assistance data, and improve the ability of village officials to manage social assistance. Community service activities can be a model for other villages in managing social assistance.
