This study employs a quantitative analysis of teacher capabilities, student qualities, and other factors to explore the construction of a new educational ecology for tourism majors in higher vocational colleges. This study employed a quantitative approach with a total of 851 participants. The main data analysis was conducted through observation and questionnaires from teachers and students majoring in tourism. Research findings show that teacher capabilities and student qualities are key in shaping tourism education. This aids in establishing a new educational paradigm. Additionally, national policies, societal needs, and institutional support can align to facilitate this process. Constructing a new ecosystem in the field of tourism education at vocational colleges is a comprehensive endeavor that demands collective efforts. This process involves enhancing the capabilities of teachers and the qualities of students, alongside the synergistic influence of national policies, societal demands, and institutional support. The limited sample size of this study may constrain the generalizability of its results, and there is a possibility of dishonest responses among the students. This study holds significant practical and policy implications for constructing a new ecosystem in the field of tourism education at vocational colleges, contributing to enhancing the quality of talent cultivation, driving industry development, and fostering in-depth academic research. This study delves into teacher competence, student quality, and external factors in vocational college tourism education's ecosystem. It provides insights to enhance education practices and policies, boosting tourism education and industry growth.

The importance of mathematics in various aspects of life cannot be ignored. Every discipline, from the natural sciences to the social sciences, has a connection with mathematics. Therefore, understanding mathematics that is relevant to its context is very important. One step in understanding mathematics’ implications is through effective learning models in elementary schools. This study aims to analyze the impact of the Cooperative Learning type and Team type-assisted individualization (TAI) learning model on three main aspects of mathematics learning at the elementary school level: mathematical problem-solving, mathematical communication, and self-regulated learning skills (SRLS). Quantitative methods were used in this study, with a quasi-experimental design involving two groups: an experimental group and a control group. A total of 64 students were involved in this study, with each group consisting of 32 evenly distributed students. The data collection instruments comprised mathematical problem-solving, communication tests, and Self-Regulated Learning Skills (SRLS) scale instrument sheets. The results of the data analysis revealed significant differences between the experimental and control groups regarding mathematical problem-solving ability, mathematical communication, and SRLS. This study shows that the Cooperative Learning type Team Assisted Individualization (TAI) learning model has positive implications for improving students' abilities in three key aspects of mathematics learning: students' ability to solve mathematical problems, their ability to communicate in a mathematical context, and their ability to learn independently.

The purpose of the study was to screen for postnatal depression (PND) symptoms among women attending primary health care (PHC) facilities within Maseru City Council in Lesotho. The Edinburg Postnatal Depression Scale (EPNDS) was used to screen for PND symptoms in a sample of 393 postnatal mothers, and a quantitative questionnaire was used to collect socio-demographic data. The Pearson chi-test of association was used to explore associations between socio-demographic variables and EPND scores (p<0.05). The ages of the participants ranged from 17 to 40, with a mean of 27 years. Most were married (n = 310, 78.88%) and unemployed (n = 254, 64.63%), with high school as their highest level of education (n = 272, 69.21%). The majority (n = 312, 79.6%) had between 1 and 2 children. A third of the sample were HIV positive (n = 117, 29.77%). The prevalence of PND symptoms was 43%. Social support, financial support from the partner, relationships with the partner, knowledge of HIV status, and having experienced a severe financial crisis were significantly associated with PND symptoms. On multivariate logistic regression, only financial support from a partner and having experienced a severe financial crisis remained significantly associated with the development of PND (p = 0.05). Risk factors for PND are mostly socio-economic. The high prevalence of PND highlighted the need to integrate routine screening of mothers for PND, which will enable early diagnosis and treatment and thus contribute to the improvement of maternal and child well-being in the country.

Although an effective public health strategy to control transmission of sexually transmitted infection (STI) and promote linkage to care exists, little is known about the receptivity of patient referral letters and partner notification (PN) among men who have sex with men (MSM). A qualitative study was conducted involving MSM enrolled in a clinical trial. Individual exit interviews were done with purposefully sampled participants (n = 23) at month 12 from baseline. The study was conducted at a research institute located in a poorly resourced community in Gauteng Province, South Africa. The themes that emerged from the data during thematic content analysis were reaction to STI diagnosis on receiving a referral letter, receptivity of the referral letter and partner notification, STI treatment and usefulness of a referral letter, experiences of accessing healthcare services, nurses’ attitudes towards the MSM, and the MSM’s recommendations for improving health services. The findings suggest that the MSM were receptive to referral letters, which they believed allowed for earlier and easier access to treatment and provided the opportunity to embrace safer sexual practices. Nevertheless, many felt it was challenging to inform their sexual partners due to some being in casual or multiple sexual relationships. Some reported experiencing discrimination from nurses while seeking treatment. This study anticipated that it would be of importance to policymakers when designing and implementing policies on patient referral letters and partner notifications.

This paper investigates the effects of electronic money, exchange rate, inflation, money supply, economic growth, and interest rate on the income velocity of money. We perform the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) estimation for Indonesian data from 2009 to 2022 to examine the short-run and long-run estimations. The findings of this paper show that the income velocity of money requires 1.2 years of adjustment time to reach long-run equilibrium. We discover that electronic money and money supply have a considerable negative impact on the income velocity of money in the long term. Meanwhile, the interest rate, exchange rate, and economic growth have a significant positive effect on the income velocity of money in the long run. On the other hand, the findings indicate that in the short run, economic expansion and electronic money have a significant and positive impact on the income velocity of money. Whereas, inflation, interest rate, and money supply have a significant negative effect on the income velocity of money in the short run. Based on these findings, it is absolutely necessary for policymakers to encourage the use of electronic money to boost the income velocity of money and create a more efficient economy. A future study will likely employ cross-country data to compare the findings across samples of countries.

The agricultural sector in Kazakhstan represents only 5.4% of the total Gross Domestic Product and consists of livestock and crop production. The agricultural industry's potential production is limited by outdated technology, inefficient work practices and a lack of digitization which accounts for a small portion of the economy's overall value. Modernising agricultural output and making investments profitable represent some of the crucial challenges. However, in this field, limited research has been done. There are no studies investigating the profitability and return on investment of digitalization. Therefore, this paper investigates six digital technologies and their economic effects: health management in beef production, dairy cow movement tracking, drone counting systems, crop parallel driving systems, telematics and soil moisture monitoring. The data for this paper are from our own field studies of more than 138 farms in various regions of Kazakhstan. The extracted data includes the type of technology, equipment, cost and added profit of the farm. The investment performance indicators (IPI) were evaluated based on this data. Studies reveal that the use of technology demonstrates the financial viability of the digitalization of agriculture. The IPI of different technologies provides important information and data for farmers when making decisions about increasing the scope of digitization. Furthermore, the findings provide valuable understanding of the agricultural output in the area and serve as a solid foundation for the Kazakhstani government to establish forthcoming policies.

The study aims to examine the impacts of American drama familiarity on Chinese people’s remote acculturation to American culture, attitudes towards American dramas, and watching intentions of American dramas. A total of 358 survey data points from Chinese respondents were collected, and structural equation modeling (SEM) analysis was conducted in an effort to verify the research hypotheses. The research outcomes indicate that American drama familiarity significantly positively impacts American cultural orientation, attitudes towards American dramas, and watching intentions of American dramas, but does not significantly bear upon Chinese cultural orientation. American cultural orientation significantly positively affects attitudes towards American dramas. Additionally, Chinese cultural orientation significantly negatively influences attitudes towards American dramas. Attitudes towards American dramas engender significant positive effects on watching intentions for American dramas. American drama familiarity, the remote acculturation of Chinese people to American culture, attitudes towards American dramas, and watching intentions of American dramas are significantly interrelated. The research is only targeted at Chinese people, and the remote acculturation is bi-dimensional in this study. Thereby, the remote acculturation of local people to multiple cultures simultaneously ought to be delved into in subsequent research. It is recommended that stakeholders and marketers of American dramas take essential marketing measures to increase the familiarity of Chinese people with American dramas and promote their friendly attitudes toward American dramas. This study contributes to yielding empirical evidence for the interrelation between American dramas and the remote acculturation of Chinese people to American culture.

This study explores the dietary intake of female students and its associated factors to understand their meal experiences in a boarding high school setting through a photovoice study. A mixed-methods study included 60 students in paper-and-pencil assessment and 8 students in photovoice activities. The nutritionist measured the anthropometrics and trained the students to keep multiple 24-hour food records. A linear regression model was used to examine the associations and was complemented by a thematic analysis of the story from the produced photos. The result shows most students were at normal weight, and overnutrition was 26.7%. The mean of students’ total energy, protein, fat, and carbohydrate intake was 1182 kcal, 38.7 g, 64.2 g, and 141.7 g, respectively, lower than national recommendations. Ethnicity and physical activity were found to be associated with students’ dietary intake. In the photovoice study, 14 photos were produced, and six major themes emerged during focus group discussions. Sundanese and less physically active students tended to have higher dietary intakes. To conclude, students were aware of food shortages at school and made efforts to supplement their meals, but appropriate food choices were not made. It is necessary for schools to address students’ meal preferences on school menus, promote healthy food, and provide practical nutritional information.

Social networking sites such as Facebook have become the leading social platforms. However, publicly expressing opinions on Facebook may mean that a person has problems with isolation and is observing his or her environment. People who perceive their opinions as belonging to the majority will publicly express them. On the contrary, people who perceive their opinions as belonging to the minority will remain silent, which will lead to a spiral of silence theory. The purpose of this study is to explore the phenomenon of silent spirals in social and psychological capital networks by using social network users in Taiwan as the research subject. Structural equation modeling is used to verify the causal relationship between the research hypotheses and variables. Results show that there are significant differences in the mediation effect. Finally, this study presents conclusions and research directions.

This paper presents an architecture design for a patient monitoring system integrated with Internet of Things (IoT) technology to detect and quantify patient stress levels. Research in remote patient prediction systems is considered one of the most important areas at present. This technology offers the potential to improve stress assessment, provide interventional treatment, and provide personalized stress management techniques. A Raspberry Pi microcontroller was used as a key controller. The unit is equipped with electroencephalography sensors, electrocardiogram sensors, glucose sensors, and electromyography sensors to record physiological signals indicative of stress, such as cardiac activity and human brain activity, a method for monitoring blood glucose levels in diabetic patients and measuring electrical activity. Muscles are collected from these four sensors and transmit information via communication channels (Wi-Fi, USB). The information obtained is transferred to a storage database, where patient data is securely stored. In the storage database, interaction between the patient and the doctor occurs via a 4G communication channel. Data is transmitted via a 4G communication channel from the storage database to the doctor’s personal computer. From the doctor’s personal computer, data is transferred to the doctor’s control panel, and from there the data is transferred to a web server, where all data is processed and the patient is monitored. In the course of research, it was found that the proposed device has 95% reliability in measuring cardiac activity and human brain activity, a method for monitoring blood glucose levels in patients with diabetes and measuring the electrical activity of muscles.
