Adherence towards good pharmacy practice of community pharmacists in central Visayas, Philippines

Abstract Introduction Community pharmacists play a pivotal role in bridging gaps in the delivery of health care services and for taking the roles of ensuring the rational use of medicines. With the advent of Good Pharmacy Practice, it is essential that there be an established national framework of quality standards and guidelines; however, there is dearth in the evaluation of GPP implementation in the country. Philippine community pharmacist's practices are expected to exhibit expertise in medications nonetheless, their practices often diverge significantly from these expectations. In this literature study, community pharmacists grapple with consultation roles due to lack of clinical guidelines, training, skills, and patient self-selection behavior. Aim The aim of the study was to assess the adherence towards Good Pharmacy Practice among community pharmacists in Central Visayas, Philippines and proposed a policy brief formulated based on the findings to gain a better understanding of the country's existing approach to community pharmacy practice. Methods The study used a quantitative descriptive cross-sectional research design to scrutinize community pharmacist practices in the Philippines, specifically in FDA-registered independent and chain pharmacies in Bohol, Cebu, Negros Oriental, and Siquijor provinces. Ethics approval was obtained from the Institutional Ethics Review Committee and four experts validated the instrument, resulting in a high and acceptable S-CVI and a reliability index of .893, indicating good reliability. The selection process involved stratified random sampling and a modified closed ended questionnaire from Badro et al. (2020) tallying 321 respondents. Data was recorded as 1 for Yes responses and 0 for No. The GPP adherence levels were categorized as poor adherence for <50% or good adherence for >75%. Results The demographic profile of the respondents indicates that the majority belongs to the Millennial generation aged 27- 45 years old. These respondents are predominantly female community pharmacists, mostly in Cebu. They hold a BS Pharmacy degree, having 3 years to less than 6 years of practice. Their work schedule typically exceeds 40 hours per week, and they operate within independent pharmacy. Findings revealed that the majority of community pharmacists in Central Visayas, Philippines have a poor adherence to the GPP indicators on data management and data recording with 69.8% (224), services and facilities with 94.7% (304), dispensing, preparation, administration and distribution of medicines with 96.2% (309) but good adherence to storage with 75.4% (242). The most significant challenges identified were time restrictions, a lack of understanding, a lack of training and resources. Additionally, time constraints, excessive workload, workforce shortage, lack of support from employers and other colleagues were recognized. But the majority shows compliance to FDA storage regulations and standards as a minimum requirement to continue the establishment and pharmacists operate in the community setting. Therefore, a three-pronged strategy is likely necessary: increasing the number of trained pharmacy staff, engaging in professional development and regulatory advocacy. Conclusion The majority of respondents demonstrated good adherence to storage indicators and poor adherence to data management, services and facilities and dispensing indicators. These findings highlight the need for targeted interventions and tailored strategies to elevate standards.

Mendalamkan Spiritualitas dan Meluaskan Intelektualitas: Kajian Tematik dalam al-Quran

As times goes by, the reality of the world grew more rapidly. As period gets older, the technology also get longer more advanced.

Sharia Economic Perspective on Paylater Online Shopping Features in the Millennial Generation

In the current digital era, a new payment concept has emerged, namely Paylater. Paylater carries the concept of 'Buy now, pay later'. The Paylater feature is increasingly popular because it has entered the E-commerce (online shopping) market. The paylater feature is in demand by various groups, especially the millennial generation, because it makes it easier to shop online if you don't have money. However, the paylater feature also has a negative side that can build consumer behavior. This research analyzes and determines the sharia economic perspective on online shopping paylater features for the millennial generation. This research was conducted using qualitative and quantitative survey methods by analyzing respondents' answers to surveys distributed based on the respondents' experiences. The research results state that most of the millennial generation use the paylater feature to shop online. The millennial generation who tends to like shopping via E-commerce uses the paylater feature to make their lifestyle more consumptive and can develop a habit of borrowing. Paylater itself is said to be haram from a sharia economic perspective because it contains things that are prohibited in Islamic principles.

Shifting priorities and expectations in the new world of work. Insights from millennials and generation Z

Enhancing Organizational Performance: Can Innovative Millennial Entrepreneurship and Business Continuity Take on A Mediating Role?

Facing business challenges requires creative ideas that can push into the realm of innovation. Innovation, which is widely held by the millennial generation, is advantageous for companies because this generation is good at developing ideas. However, the phenomenon is that 67% of creative media businesses in 2021 declined in revenue. In connection with these main obstacles, the purpose of this study is to identify constructs that can mediate the role of Relational Capital (RC) in organizational performance (OP). To address the research objective, this study concentrates on the creative media industry, utilizing a sample of 163 respondents. The data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) through the AMOS software. The results reveal that RC does not have a significant impact on OP.This research examines the role of Innovative Millennial Entrepreneurship (IME) and Business Continuity (BC) in mediating RC to OP. This study empirically proved that RC has no significant effect on OP, but IME and BC can increase RC to OP, with a total effect of 1.487 for IME and 0.509 for BC. Based on this result, it is empirically proven that IME and BC fully mediate the role of RC in CP. This is a contribution to the theoretical domain of dynamic capacity theory.

Transformation Cultural Identity In The Global Era: A Study Of Globalization And Locality

Globalization brings significant changes to local cultural identities through the influence of media, technology, and migration. Global cultures often dominate local cultures, creating challenges for societies that previously had stable cultural identities. This transformation has an impact on the way people interpret their collective identity. Although many studies have addressed the impact of globalization on cultural identity, an in-depth understanding of this transformation process is still limited. This research aims to fill this gap by examining the interaction between global and local cultures and how they form new, more complex identities. Using a qualitative approach with case study methods in Yogyakarta, Bali, and Bandung, this study collects data through in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and document analysis. The results show that the transformation of cultural identity is different in each region. In Yogyakarta, local culture remains dominant despite the influence of modern art; in Bali, globalization is seen in tourism that combines local and global cultures; while in Bandung, global pop culture is accepted by the millennial generation without leaving local identity. This research reveals that cultural adaptation creates a dynamic identity, where people choose relevant global elements, enriching cultural expression without losing local values

Архитектура создания самообучающегося колледжа

The competence approach has firmly gained its place in the world educational paradigm, distinguishing rigid (professional) and flexible (supra professional) skills. But the high speed of technological changes will significantly transform the landscape of the modern labor market, when within the next decades up to a quarter of traditional professions will disappear, and hard skills will be significantly transformed after them. The most important competitive advantage will be the speed of perception and translation of new knowledge, as well as competencies formed on their basis. The key competences for continuous development will be flexible competences (soft skills), some of which will be enriched with basic hard skills. The traditional conservatism of the educational system, the long period of formation of educational standards of training becomes a certain brake on the training of specialists of the future. If rigid skills can be formed based on the existing production base (jobs of the future, which do not exist yet), flexible skills can be formed now. This actualizes the idea of creating self-learning spaces in secondary vocational education institutions. Copying Chris Argyris' idea will not find a positive response, given our realities and the specifics of the Millennial generation, Z generation and later α generation, it will be a good idea to create self-learning spaces in secondary vocational education institutions. The author's developments on the implementation of approaches to the formation of the model of a self-learning college in the institution of secondary vocational education are presented. This approach can be useful for secondary vocational education organizations developing educational, managerial and financial strategies in order to unpack the expertise of the teaching community.

Tantangan Pendidikan Agama Islam dalam Membangun Karakter Generasi Milenial

Islamic Religious Education (PAI) plays a vital role in building the character of the millennial generation, who face significant challenges in the digital era, such as the influence of global culture, low digital literacy, and the spread of negative information on social media. This study employs a qualitative method with in-depth analysis of various literature sources and social contexts. The findings indicate that PAI can provide a strong moral foundation for young people through understanding Islamic values, fostering noble character, and increasing spiritual awareness. However, millennials often struggle to internalize religious teachings due to exposure to foreign cultures that contrast with Islamic values. Other challenges include a dependency on technology, which has the potential to reduce their mental resilience. In conclusion, adaptive strategies are needed, such as integrating technology in learning, professional development for teachers, and digital ethics education to help millennials navigate the complexities of the digital era without losing their identity and moral integrity.

Examining changes in household carbon footprints across generations in the UK using decomposition analysis

AbstractTo meet climate targets, consumption‐based household emissions need to fall rapidly. An important but still poorly understood question is whether generational change could contribute to decreases in emissions. It is sometimes assumed that younger generations such as Millennials and Generation Z are more concerned about climate change and have greener lifestyles than previous generations of the Silent Generation, Baby boomers, and Generation X, but carbon footprinting analysis typically focuses on age groups rather than comparing generations over time. This paper provides a first assessment of the change in consumption‐based carbon footprints of the Silent, Baby boomer, Generation X, and Millennial generations within the United Kingdom between 2001 and 2020 and a comparison of the footprints of different generational groups. The analysis is based on environmentally extended input–output analysis, using the Living Costs and Food Survey and emission data from the UK multi‐regional input–output database. We find some evidence for the hypothesis that younger generations have smaller footprints than older generations as Generation X and Millennial households have smaller carbon footprints compared to the generation before them at a similar life stage. We find that factors such as decarbonization, household occupancy, total expenditure, and changing consumption patterns contribute to the UK's changing carbon consumption emissions between 2001 and 2020, and the importance of these factors varies for different generational groups. However, future research that uses a longer time series is required to assess generational differences in carbon footprints over the whole lifespan of several generations.

Generation and evaluation of energy and water fluxes from the HOLAPS framework: Comparison with satellite-based products during extreme hot weather

Improving our understanding of the energy and water exchanges between the land surface and the lower atmosphere (i.e. land–atmosphere interactions), and how climate change may affect them, is crucial to predict changes in temperature and precipitation extremes. Observations of energy and water fluxes at the land surface are typically retrieved from the eddy covariance method, which presents limitations related to spatial and temporal gaps, and the non-closure of the energy and water balances. Meanwhile, soil moisture (SM) products derived from satellite data have been widely used at regional and global scales, but they are limited to capture only surface soil water content and variations. The combination of remote sensing (RS) data and modelling frameworks is called to be the solution to improve the spatial coverage and vertical resolution of land–atmosphere interactions data, ensuring the energy and water balance closure. Here, we explore the combination of remote sensing and meteorological data with a physical-based modelling framework, the High resOlution Land Atmosphere Parameters from Space (HOLAPS). We used HOLAPS to produce hourly consistent estimates of energy and water fluxes over Europe at 5 km resolution. HOLAPS and other satellite-based evapotranspiration and sensible heat flux products from the literature are evaluated against the water balance method and eddy covariance measurements. HOLAPS SM estimates together with other RS-modelling products are also evaluated against ground-based measurements at the surface and in the root zone. The evaluation of HOLAPS ET estimates show similar performance to the other products with Kling–Gupta efficiency (KGE) ¿ -0.41 in comparison with eddy covariance measurements from FLUXNET in all seasons but in boreal winter. The simulation of H is more uncertain than for ET with KGE values ranging from -2.5 to 0.8 along the products and stations at monthly scales. HOLAPS reaches slightly better results than the rest of ET and H products at daily scales in summer (KGE ¿ 0.3 for ET and KGE ¿ 0.0 for H) and during hot conditions (KGE ¿ 0.2 for ET and KGE ¿-0.2 for H), while the state-of-the-art products show KGE ¿ 0.1 for ET and KGE ¿ -0.41 for H in summer and KGE ¿ -0.1 for ET and KGE ¿ -0.6 for H during hot conditions. All products evaluated here yield a reasonable performance (KGE ¿-0.41 at most sites) in simulating SM at the surface and in the root zone. Our results expose the need for further investigating and improving product performances during extreme conditions. The good performance of HOLAPS together with its inherent advantages (RS data driven, high temporal and spatial resolution, spatial and temporal continuity, soil moisture at different depths and long-term consistent evapotranspiration and sensible heat flux estimates) support its use for agricultural and forest management activities as well as to study land–atmosphere interactions based on Earth Observations.
