Full textAbstract:
Financial management behaviour, specifically the ability of an individual to plan and budget, manage and control, supervise, search for, and allocate daily financial funds. The purpose of this study is to see how financial literacy, hedonistic lifestyle, income, self-control, and financial attitude affect financial management behaviour. The subject of this study is Mobile Legend Gamers in Indonesia, with a sample size of 170 people. This is known as explanatory research, and it employs a quantitative approach with the Structural Equation Model-AMOS program. The findings revealed that financial literacy, income, self-control, and financial attitude all have a significant impact on financial management behaviour. Meanwhile, the hedonistic way of life has no effect. This was discovered because the majority of the respondents were still in their teens and still lived with their parents, and the study's limitations were related to the distribution of questionnaires, which was only done online. As a result, more research is needed to be able to distribute questionnaires both offline and online and to use the model. Various approaches to researching financial management behaviour.

Full textAbstract:
Efficient use of multiple batteries is a practical problem with wide and growing application. The problem can be cast as a planning problem under uncertainty. We describe the approach we have adopted to modelling and solving this problem, seen as a Markov Decision Problem, building effective policies for battery switching in the face of stochastic load profiles. Our solution exploits and adapts several existing techniques: planning for deterministic mixed discrete-continuous problems and Monte Carlo sampling for policy learning. The paper describes the development of planning techniques to allow solution of the non-linear continuous dynamic models capturing the battery behaviours. This approach depends on carefully handled discretisation of the temporal dimension. The construction of policies is performed using a classification approach and this idea offers opportunities for wider exploitation in other problems. The approach and its generality are described in the paper. Application of the approach leads to construction of policies that, in simulation, significantly outperform those that are currently in use and the best published solutions to the battery management problem. We achieve solutions that achieve more than 99% efficiency in simulation compared with the theoretical limit and do so with far fewer battery switches than existing policies. Behaviour of physical batteries does not exactly match the simulated models for many reasons, so to confirm that our theoretical results can lead to real measured improvements in performance we also conduct and report experiments using a physical test system. These results demonstrate that we can obtain 5%-15% improvement in lifetimes in the case of a two battery system.

Full textAbstract:
Complex, engineered systems often require extensively planned behaviour on the part of operators and maintenance staff if such systems are to maintain their integrity. A study was undertaken to determine how the absence of planning on the part of operators imperilled such systems. The aim was to help future designers understand how, in effect, operators delegate planning to the system, and to help designers make systems robust to this delegation. An analysis was undertaken of 59 incidents in the offshore industry in an attempt to characterise both the aspect of system activity that operators failed to plan (for example its completeness) and the general processes they were engaged in at the time (for example system start-up). All the processes that were implicated in the failures were either changes in the state of the system, such as start-up and shut-down, or operations that could not be said to take place in a steady state: there were no cases involving routine, continual activity. This suggests that designers' risk analyses should concentrate on non steady-state behaviour in systems, and that these risk analyses would benefit from some kind of characterisation of how systems are vulnerable to plan delegation.

The emergence of environmental issues has increased environmental protection awareness among society and pushed organizations to become environmentally responsible. Many companies currently consolidate environmental matters into their corporate strategic plan by adopting a comprehensive Environmental Management Accounting System (EMAS) to create more value. However, a lack of understanding on the institutional pressures persuading EMAS adoption within the organizations has reduced the urgency for the company to adopt the EMAS. This paper aims to explain the management's behavioral issues towards accepting EMAS adoption and how this behavior would lead to value creation.

Full textAbstract:
Sexsomnia is a disorder that is characterized by abnormal sexual behaviours during sleep and can vary from explicit sexual vocalizations to violent masturbation and complex sexual acts including oral, vaginal or anal penetration. This disorder has clinical, psychosocial and medico-legal consequences, both to the patient and the people that surround him. Despite the scarce literature and infrequent reports, there are some descriptions of violent behaviours, sexual assault and sexual involvement of minors. Whenever we suspect that a patient suffers from sexsomnia, we must write a rigorous and complete clinical history, make a neurologic and phychiatric evaluation and nocturnal videopolysomnography. As soon as the diagnosis is established, we must plan treatment approaches. More attention should be payed to the psychosocial and medico-legal issues, and new research is needed to provide for better understanding of etiology and to improve the clinical evaluation and management.

Different configurations of the physical environment of office work are rapidly changing the way office workers behave and perform at work. In particular, organisations today are progressively accommodating their employees in open plan offices (OPOs). In this article, we focus on the OPO and discuss its future and implications for research and practice. Specifically, we build on recent advances in the field to propose that new OPO configurations will require new forms of work behaviour involving new processes and practices, and new research approaches. In addition, we discuss possible areas of work that OPO environments of the future might affect; for example, work design, interpersonal processes, noise and distractions, human resource management (HRM) practices and leadership. Along these lines, we suggest future research directions and make recommendations to navigate the intersection of organisational behaviour (OB) and OPO research and practice. JEL Classification: M19

Full textAbstract:
Combined sewer overflows (CSO) are the “ugly ducklings” of urban wastewater infrastructure, rather unknown, rarely loved. Contrary to wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) where, commonly, process parameters are carefully registered, still relatively little is known about the spill behaviour of CSOs. In spite of the considerable bandwidth of pollution magnitude reported in literature, it can be generally accepted that CSO impact certainly is not negligible. As the sole wastewater utility in Flanders (6,100,000 inhabitants), Aquafin operates, next to 230 WWTP’s and almost 1,000 pumping stations, some 3,100 CSOs. In search for an optimum CSO management strategy, Aquafin prospected several modelling and monitoring possibilities. As a result, a CSO action plan could be drawn up tailored to the estimated relevance of the CSO under consideration. In a further step a cost-benefit analysis of several static and dynamic remediation measures was undertaken. Real Time Control (RTC) strategies turned out to be the most cost efficient solution for CSO impact mitigation.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractSelf-injurious and suicidal behaviours are highly prevalent in patients with borderline personality disorder (BPD) and the risk of completed suicide is high. Borderline patients often present with heterogeneous clinical pictures and widespread comor-bidity complicating clinical assessments and management. This calls for increased efforts in systematic evaluation and monitoring of self-harming and suicidal behaviours; these behaviours should be addressed actively as high priority treatment targets. Early drop-out is common for BPD patients in treatment but is possible to counteract by fostering a strong therapeutic relationship through adopting a realistic, but consistent and supportive approach carefully avoiding reinforcement of suicidal behaviours. Suicidal crises should primarily be managed in an outpatient setting giving priority to keeping the patient safe adopting a safety plan procedure, while helping the patient as quickly as possible to return emotionally to a more acceptable level of arousal and mental functioning. Pharmacological treatments should primarily be used for management of comorbid conditions, but may possibly also be helpful when used to reduce specific symptoms such as anger, hostility and impulsivity. There is currently a range of different integrated short-term and long-term psychological treatments in different stages of development and some of them have been shown to be efficacious in reducing suicidal behaviours; notably dialectical behaviour therapy and mentalization-based therapy.Declaration of Interest: None.

AbstractWe report analysis of voluntary switching from defined benefit (DB) to defined contribution (DC) plans in an environment best characterised as benign. Using a large Australian fund database we identify socio-demographic correlates and the macroeconomic circumstances associated with DB to DC switching. The age of participants is an important correlate of switching behaviour, suggesting a degree of risk tolerance previously not recognised in the literature. It is also noted, however, that this type of switching behaviour may involve secondary behaviour such that uncertainties of DC investment performance are managed by reference to an asset allocation formula that maps to the previous DB investment strategy.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose This paper sets out to understand the impact of the ambient environment on perceived comfort, health, wellbeing and by extension productivity in the workplace. Design/methodology/approach The research combined an occupant survey considering satisfaction with the ambient environment, health and wellbeing and workplace behaviour with the monitoring of ambient environmental conditions. Findings The paper demonstrates that the ambient environment can have a significant impact on occupant comfort, health and wellbeing, which in turn has implications for built asset performance. Within the ambient environmental factors considered, a hierarchy may exist with noise being of particular importance. Occupant behaviour within the workplace was also found to be influential. Research limitations/implications The research was limited to a single commercial office building, and a wider range of case studies would therefore be of benefit. The research was also limited to the summer months. Practical implications The findings show that an active approach to asset management is required, by continuously monitoring internal environment and engaging with occupants. This must carefully consider how ambient environmental factors and workplace behaviour impact upon occupants’ comfort, health and wellbeing to ensure the performance of the built asset is maximised. Originality/value This paper demonstrates that both occupiers’ workplace behaviour and ambient environmental conditions can have an impact on occupant comfort, health, wellbeing and productivity. The paper strengthens the case for the active management of the workplace environment through environmental monitoring and behaviour change campaigns supported by corresponding changes to workplace culture.

Full textAbstract:
In 1999, a survey of the clinical staff in Royal Darwin Hospital showed that most instances of aggressive and abusive behaviour by patients or visitors occurring in the hospital went unreported because staff believed there would not be any follow-up investigation or action taken by management. In response, a hospital working party was formed to develop and implement an aggression management policy with practical effective strategies. The principal tool used was an Action Plan that delineated an immediate response to the aggression, as well as long-term strategies such as negotiated care and behaviour modification programs. An advocate is provided for the patient and debriefing for staff members. If the aggressive behaviour continues, early discharge of the patient could be initiated. The fundamental principle of the policy is to prevent fostering a culture of acceptance of aggressive behaviour through appropriate early intervention. In 2002, a follow-up survey showed that 82% of aggressive incidents were being reported and dealt with by management in a timely manner ? a significant improvement.

Introduction:Although suicide rates are decreasing in most European countries, suicide is still a major health concern. Despite of the fact, that the vast majority of suicidal patients contacted with health care services before the suicidal act, the doctor-patient meeting is a necessary, but sometimes not sufficient way enough to prevent suicide. Most patients, who commit or attempt suicide, are not regarded as being at high immediate risk at their final contact with health care services.Aims and methods:Based on reviewing the relevant literature and on our previous studies we developed a brief, practical, clinical guideline, which may aid general practitioners and primary care professionals to assess suicide risk and also to manage these patients.Results:We introduce a model for an integrated, regional suicide prevention strategy, which includes recognition, risk assessment and also intervention. The main steps of our model are to recognize warning signs, explore crisis situation and/or psychopathologic symptoms, assess protective and risk factors, estimate suicide risk, plan intervention strategies, and finally manage suicidal patients through the different levels of intervention.Conclusion:In the management of suicidal behaviour the complex stress-diathesis model has to be adjusted by considering biological markers (mental disorders, personality traits) and psycho-social factors (crisis, negative life events, interpersonal conflicts). Only after the assessment of these factors primary care professionals, as ‘gatekeepers’ can manage suicidal patients effectively by using adequate psychopharmacotherapeutic and psychotherapeutic facilities in the recognition, treatment and prevention of suicidal behaviour.

INTRODUCTION: Health promotion behaviours are considered as preventives of non-communicable diseases and key determinants of maintaining and improving the health status.
AIM: This study aimed to investigate and identify effective factors on health-promoting behaviours based on Pender model in women of reproductive age from February to April 2017, in Savojbolagh, Iran.
METHODS: This cross-sectional study is conducted on 240 women aged between 15 to 49 years in Savojbolagh, Iran, in 2017. The questionnaire consisted of several items, including socio-demographic characteristics, health-promoting lifestyle profile-II (HPLP-II), self-efficacy, social support and constructs of Pender’s health promotion model. SPSS-18 software has been applied for statistical analysis.
RESULTS: The mean age of the women was 31.10 ± 7.29 years. Total HPLP-II score was 106.64 ± 11.93. The highest and the lowest mean in the subscales were belonged to nutrition and physical activity, respectively. According to the bivariate analysis, the total HPLP-II score is significantly related to prior health-related behaviour (p = 0.000). There was a statistically significant relationship between stress management and the variables including perceived benefits, perceived barriers, prior health-related behaviour, situational influences, commitment to a plan of action (p < 0.05). Also, health responsibility had a statistically significant relationship with self-efficacy (p < 0.05).
CONCLUSION: According to our results, it can be inferred that there is a problem with the HPBs of women. Considering that health-promoting behaviours like physical activity had a low score, it is a necessity to plan and perform interventions for improving health promotion behaviours.

Positive behaviour support (PBS) has become the preferred intervention in the management of challenging behaviour in learning disability and mental health services. However, there is an absence of literature on nurses' views and experience of PBS. Nurses are passive in PBS plan development while other professionals, such as clinical psychologists, often take the lead. While nurses see clinical psychologists as experts in PBS, they feel this could create a barrier that hinders its full potential and a more multidisciplinary approach would be beneficial. Nurses could take a pivotal role in delivering PBS plans if they were able to take a leading role, and this would benefit service users as nurses work far more closely with them than other professionals.

Full textAbstract:
An enterprise's survival and goal achievement to a greater extent depend on its management system, financial planning strategies and employees’ reactions. The management system (authoritarian or humanistic) portrays the firm as a composite entity of a goal-setting machine (top management) and a goal-achieving machine (subordinates and employees) in an organisational context. The type of management system and its associated financial planning strategy are admittedly of significant effect in the life of any firm. This is because the goal of the organisation (for the period the financial plan covers) is contained in the financial plan. Goals must not only be set but strategies must be evolved to achieve the goals contained in the financial plan. Financial plans (autocratic or participatory) express the expectations of the enterprise from its members and specifies the employees’ duties and rights (if any) for that period. Financial plan, therefore, is an important instrument for enterprise goal achievement. This paper was necessitated by the unconcerned attitude of enterprise management with current researches in financial planning theory and practice. Available Accounting, finance and Business literature support the assertion that authoritarian management systems and their associated financial planning strategy do not always work. Rather than bringing improved performance, such a system generates anxiety, mistrust, interdepartmental strifes, quarrel with finance staff, demotivation, corrupt activities, poor productivity and other dysfunctional attitudes and behaviour which are inimical to enterprise growth and survival. On the contrary, a humanistic management system relative to its financial planning strategy triggers employees’ morale, motivation and productivity. Such a system boosts corporate existence and enhances continued goal achievement. This system is believed to serve as a panacea: a cure for all the many ills associated with the authoritarian management system and its related autocratic financial planning strategy.

Full textAbstract:
Retroperitoneal sarcomas (RPS) are rare cancers whose management can be challenging due to various presentation patterns, multiple organ involvement, and a high local and distant recurrence rate. Histopathology and prognostic factors analysis are essential to predict the behaviour of the disease and plan the best therapeutic strategy. To date, surgery is still the main therapeutic option that guarantees a chance of cure from the primary disease. While chemotherapy and radiotherapy seem to be good options for controlling metastatic and recurrent irresectable disease, their role in the treatment of primary RPS remains unclear. This literature review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the multidisciplinary aspects of RPS management in high-volume centres, summarising the diagnostic path, the prognostic factors, and the most suitable therapeutic options.

This research aimed at finding out the classroom management practices by an EFL teacher at an inclusive school. There were four major aspects of classroom management as the focus of this research. Those are rules, physical environment, classroom climate, and teacher’s role. The subject of this study was an English teacher in class XI MM 2 at SMK Negeri 3 Singaraja. This study was a case study with qualitative research design. The methods of data collection were observation and interview. The findings showed that the classroom management practices by the teacher were successful to be implemented for both the inclusive and regular students. The rules created and communicated by the teacher were effective to develop the students’ behaviour and attitude as well as support the learning process. For the physical environment, the teacher provided spacious space for the physical disability student to move freely. The teacher gave positive and negative reinforcements for the students’ attitude and behaviour. Besides, the teacher modified the lesson plan, instruction, and assessment based on the student’s special needs. However, the teacher did not interact directly with the inclusive student’s parents and it should be done to support the learning process. In addition, there was no special escort teacher and training for the teacher to support the learning process.

Full textAbstract:
Objective Few studies on diabetes self-management considered the patterns and relationships of different self-management behaviours (SMB). The aims of the present study are 1) to identify patterns of SMB among persons with diabetes, 2) to identify sociodemographic and disease-related predictors of SMB among persons with diabetes. Research design and methods The present analysis includes data of 1,466 persons (age 18 to 99 years; 44.0% female; 56.0% male) with diabetes (type I and II) from the population-based study German Health Update 2014/2015 (GEDA 2014/2015-EHIS). We used latent class analysis in order to distinguish different patterns of self-management behaviours among persons with diabetes. The assessment of SMB was based on seven self-reported activities by respondents (dietary plan, diabetes-diary, diabetes health pass, self-assessment of blood glucose, self-examination of feet, retinopathy-screenings and assessment of HbA1c). Subsequent multinomial latent variable regressions identified factors that were associated with self-management behaviour. Results Latent class analysis suggested a distinction between three patterns of SMB. Based on modal posterior probabilities 42.8% of respondents showed an adherent pattern of diabetes self-management with above-average frequency in all seven indicators of SMB. 32.1% showed a nonadherent pattern with a below-average commitment in all seven forms of SMB. Another 25.1% were assigned to an ambivalent type, which showed to be adherent with regard to retinopathy screenings, foot examinations, and the assessment of HbA1c, yet nonadherent with regard to all other forms of SMB. In multivariable regression analyses, participation in Diabetes Self-Management Education programs (DSME) was the most important predictor of good self-management behaviour (marginal effect = 51.7 percentage points), followed by attentiveness towards one’s personal health (31.0 percentage points). Respondents with a duration of illness of less than 10 years (19.5 percentage points), employed respondents (7.5 percentage points), as well as respondents with a high socioeconomic status (24.7 percentage points) were more likely to show suboptimal forms of diabetes self-management. Discussion In the present nationwide population-based study, a large proportion of persons with diabetes showed suboptimal self-management behaviour. Participation in a DSME program was the strongest predictor of good self-management. Results underline the need for continual and consistent health education for patients with diabetes.

The purpose of this paper is to consider a twofold perspective to understand and analyse the reverse supply chain design of mobile phone in Delhi NCR: first, motivation and intentions of consumer selling their mobile phones and second, the returns management process through the organised and informal channels. Design/methodology/approach It first utilises a survey methodology and the theory of planned behaviour (TPB) model to understand and analyse the consumers’ intentions to recycle and then employs an in-depth interview methodology to derive qualitative insights needed to plot the reverse supply chain design. Findings In an extended TPB model, attitude, mediated by a “sense of duty” and perceived control, has a strong influence on the recycling behaviour than subjective norms and benefits. The qualitative insights draw attention to the design, configuration and management of informal and organised recycling channels that differ significantly, but remain relevant and coexist, especially in the context of emerging economies. Research limitations/implications It proposes an extended TPB model to understand consumer selling behaviour that can help the companies to plan and handle their demand-supply mechanisms in the reverse supply chain. Social implications This study calls for a proactive intervention by the Indian Government and other key stakeholders to regulate and streamline electrical and electronics waste management in India. Originality/value This research is positioned at the interface of logistics and marketing to understand and create a sustainable reverse supply chain design for high-value products.

Full textAbstract:
Over the past few decades, knowledge management (KM) has become well-established in many fields, particularly in business. Several KM models have been at the forefront of promoting KM in businesses and organisations. However, the applicability of these traditional KM models to the global health field is limited by their focus on KM processes and activities with few linkages to intended outcomes. This paper presents the new Knowledge Management for Global Health (KM4GH) Logic Model, a practical tool that helps global health professionals plan ways in which resources and specific KM activities can work together to achieve desired health program outcomes. We test the validity of this model through three case studies of global and field-level health initiatives: an SMS-based mobile phone network among community health workers (CHWs) and their supervisors in Malawi, a global electronic Toolkits platform that provides health professionals access to health information resources, and a netbook-based eHealth pilot among CHWs and their clients in Bangladesh. The case studies demonstrate the flexibility of the KM4GH Logic Model in designing various KM activities while defining a common set of metrics to measure their outcomes, providing global health organisations with a tool to select the most appropriate KM activities to meet specific knowledge needs of an audience. The three levels of outcomes depicted in the model, which are grounded in behavioural theory, show the progression in the behaviour change process, or in this case, the knowledge use process, from raising awareness of and using the new knowledge to contributing to better health systems and behaviours of the public, and ultimately to improving the health status of communities and individuals. The KM4GH Logic Model makes a unique contribution to the global health field by helping health professionals plan KM activities with the end goal in mind.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose A co-produced clinical practice that aims to improve outcomes through a partnership with service users is becoming increasingly important in intellectual disability (ID) services, yet these approaches are under-evaluated in forensic settings. This study aims to explore and compare the feasibility of two approaches to co-production in the completion of dynamic risk assessments and management plans in a secure setting. Design/methodology/approach A convenience sample of adults admitted to a secure specialist forensic ID service (N = 54) completed the short dynamic risk scale (SDRS) and drafted risk management plans under one of two conditions. In the first condition, participants rated the SDRS and risk management plan first, separately from the multidisciplinary team (MDT). In the second condition, participants and MDTs rated the SDRS and risk management plan together. Findings In total, 35 (65%) participants rated their risk assessments and 25 (47%) completed their risk management plans. Participants who rated their risk assessments separately from the MDT were significantly more likely to complete the SDRS (p = 0.025) and draft their risk management plans (p = 0.003). When rated separately, MDT scorers recorded significantly higher total SDRS scores compared to participants (p = 0.009). A series of Mann-Whitney U tests revealed significant differences between MDT and participant ratings on questions that required greater skills in abstraction and social reasoning, as well as sexual behaviour and self-harm. Originality/value Detained participants with an ID will engage in their dynamic risk assessment and management plan processes. The study demonstrates the impact of different co-production methodologies on engagement and highlights areas for future research pertaining to co-production.

Full textAbstract:
The present study was undertaken to observe the association between stress and eating behaviour with premenstrual syndrome. Thirty cases of premenstrual syndrome and thirty healthy, age-matched controls, were included in the study after obtaining written informed consent. Premenstrual syndrome questionnaire was used to identify participants with PMS. Stress perception was measured by using the perceived stress scale. PSS is a standard questionnaire, a global measure of perceived stress. The vulnerability of the eating disorder was assessed by using EAT-26. The value of R for the association of stress and eating behavior in participants with the premenstrual syndrome is 0.0981. Although technically a positive correlation, the relationship between your variables is weak. The value of R2, the coefficient of determination, is 0.0096. The value of R for the association of stress and eating behavior in healthy participants is 0.0077. Although technically a positive correlation, the relationship between your variables is weak. The value of R2, the coefficient of determination, is 0.0001. There were significantly high levels of stress score (P=0.0003) in the cases when compared to controls. However, the EAT-26 score is not significant (P=0.7288). A positive correlation was observed between the stress and eating behaviour in both healthy and premenstrual syndrome individuals. The study recommends further studies on a large scale to understand the association and underlying mechanisms to plan better management techniques and also to increase awareness in the student population.

International Journal of Wildland Fire 22, no. 1 (2013): 37. http://dx.doi.org/10.1071/wf11143.
Full textAbstract:
Wildland fire management has moved beyond a singular focus on suppression, calling for wildfire management for ecological benefit where no critical human assets are at risk. Processes causing direct effects and indirect, long-term ecosystem changes are complex and multidimensional. Robust risk-assessment tools are required that account for highly variable effects on multiple values-at-risk and balance competing objectives, to support decision making. Providing wildland fire managers with risk-analysis tools requires a broad scientific foundation in fire behaviour and effects prediction as well as high quality computer-based tools and associated databases. We outline a wildfire risk-assessment approach, highlight recent developments in fire effects science and associated research needs, and recommend developing a comprehensive plan for integrated advances in wildfire occurrence, behaviour and effects research leading to improved decision support tools for wildland fire managers. We find that the current state of development in fire behaviour and effects science imposes severe limits on the development of risk-assessment technology. In turn, the development of technology has been largely disconnected from the research enterprise, resulting in a confusing array of ad hoc tools that only partially meet decision-support needs for fuel and fire management. We make the case for defining a common risk-based analytic framework for fire-effects assessment across the range of fire-management activities and developing a research function to support the framework.

The focus of the paper is to examine the characteristics and behaviour of organizations that are not committed to the ideals of total quality management (TQM). In the five cases presented a number of conditions have helped to stifle the TQM initiative including: the lack of a plan, inadequate understanding of TQM, TQM seen as a necessary evil by senior management, inappropriate management style, poor channels of communication, no attempt to understand the needs and requirements of customers, proposals for improvement blocked by senior management, lack of integration between the ‘soft’ and ‘hard’ issues of quality management, a failure to understand the basics and linkages between concepts such as business process re-engineering, people empowerment and TQM, emphasis on quick-fix solutions and fire-fighting, and extending employee responsibility without adequate training. In turn these types of conditions have resulted in a lack of willingness by employees to participate in improvement initiatives and quality is seen as an added cost and something to be avoided.

Full textAbstract:
Social media engagement has contributed to the rise of cyberbullying, which has recently triggered tragic suicides among adolescents. The objective of this cross-sectional study is to determine the prevalence of cyberbullying, suicidal behaviour, and their association among adolescents in Peninsular Malaysia. The study was conducted among 1290 secondary school adolescents aged between 13 and 17 years old in Peninsular Malaysia using a self-administered and anonymous online questionnaire. Our findings reveal that the prevalence of cyberbullying victimization and perpetrator is 13.7% and 3.8%, respectively. The prevalence of suicidal behaviour among adolescents is 17.1%, in which 11.9% had suicidal thoughts, 10.2% had a suicide plan, and 8.4% had made a suicide attempt. Multiple logistic regression shows that adolescents experiencing cyberbullying victimization is a significant risk factor (p < 0.001) for suicidal behaviour after adjusting for other confounders. An alarming number of adolescents in Peninsular Malaysia found to be involved in cyberbullying and its significant association with suicidal behaviour warrant the need to strengthen current interventions. Since the study was conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic, our findings make an important contribution in reporting current trends in cyberbullying and suicide among adolescents, especially when they are becoming ever-more present in cyberspaces.

Full textAbstract:
Many domestic dogs are uncomfortable when humans perform trivial and benign actions that the animals perceive as threatening. A common technique for addressing canine emotional discomfort involves desensitization, where the intensity of a problematic stimulus is gradually increased while the dog remains relaxed. Desensitization requires a skillful owner and is complicated when actions of the owner are the stimuli to be desensitised. This paper introduces a behaviour modification programme for dogs with impaired social functioning in relation to the (inter)actions by their owners, consisting of (1) increasing owner knowledge and awareness regarding dog body language and perception of owner actions, (2) management of the daily life of the dog through general stress reduction and avoidance of stressful situations, and (3) behaviour modification through training. The latter component entails a non-threatening, predictable exercise in which the dog has control over any perceived threats, the introduction of the safety cue with subsequent desensitization, and engaging activities with the owner that the dog finds enjoyable. We also present a case series report to examine a selection of dogs with impaired social functioning, from signalment to outcome, when treated with the proposed behaviour modification and examine which adaptations were made to the plan according to individual dogs. Finally, we avenues for future research.

With the present and advances in information and communication technology (ICT), sharing knowledge across organisations has become easier and feasible. However, knowledge sharing has been a complex phenomenon over the years and identifying factors that influence knowledge sharing (KS) across organisation has becomes crucial and critical in the recent days. This paper review the effect of culture and behavioural differences as a human factors and the knowledge management practices needed to improve KS in organisations. Data were collected from 7 experts and 50 personnel by questionnaire. The result from the statistical data analysis revealed 15.67 and 3.96 as variance and standard deviation on culture respectively. The variance on behaviour is 8 and its standard deviation is 2.83, this indicate weakness in KS therefore, there is a presence of non- sharing culture and behaviour that discourage knowledge sharing. The findings from this pilot study suggest that, a centralised knowledge management structure without effective human practice towards its policies of sharing, coordination and distribution of knowledge in the context of knowledge management towards knowledge sharingmight fail. For organisation to avoid knowledge holding (KH) and knowledge risk (KR), a mechanism like knowledge sharing strategic implementation plan (KSSIP) can be used as a solution.

AimsCrystal House is a specialist CAMHS ID inpatient 5-bedded unit based in the Kingswood Centre, North West London - for children aged between 13 and 18 years with primary diagnosis of Intellectual Disabilities with or without additional concerns that warrant admission to hospital for purpose of assessment and management. Reporting this case, we wanted to highlight complexities of management of children presenting with neurodevelopmental conditions and history of trauma.MethodsThis is a case of a fourteen-year-old girl with established diagnoses of Moderate Intellectual Disability, Childhood Autism, Foetal Alcohol Syndrome and childhood trauma. She was admitted to our CAMHS ID Assessment and Treatment Unit with a nine- year history of self-injurious behaviour, suicidal ideation and voice-hearing experiences – after failed treatment in the community and in-patient treatment (including under restrictions of long-term segregation) on generic CAMHS unit. Her current treatment includes a person-centred Trauma- Informed Positive Behaviour Support Plan; individual and family therapy psychology sessions based on the principles of trauma-informed care and consultation with staff on trauma-informed care. She also undertook ADHD assessment, and we are in the process of optimising ADHD medication.ResultsTrauma-Informed Positive Behaviour Support Plan was a new concept for the team. Therefore, this was supported by training and consultations with staff. The latter was introduced to create a psychologically oriented environment using trauma-informed care principals and helping the team understand what trauma means and how it affects the individual. ADHD assessment confirmed the diagnosis of ADHD which was followed by optimising ADHD medication.ConclusionSystemic and a person-centred approach is used for this child with concerning presentation and history of neurodevelopmental disorder and childhood trauma.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to analyze investor reactions to ethical screening by pension plan managers. Design/methodology/approach – The author presents a sample consisting of data corresponding to 573 pension plans in relation to such aspects as financial performance, inception date, asset size, number of participants, custodial and management fees, and whether their managers adopt ethical screening or give part of their profits to social projects. On this data the author implements the fixed effects panel data model proposed by Vogelsang (2012). Findings – The results obtained indicate that investors/consumers prefer traditional or solidarity pension plans to ethical pension plans. Furthermore, the findings show that ethical investors/consumers are more (less) sensitive to positive (negative) lagged returns than caring and traditional consumers, causing traditional consumers to contribute to pension plans that they already own. Research limitations/implications – The author does not know what types of environmental, social and corporate governance criteria have been adopted by ethical pension plan managers and the weight given to each of these criteria for selecting the stock of the firms in their portfolios that could influence in the investors’ behaviour. Practical implications – The results obtained in the current paper show that investors invest less money in ethical pension plans than in traditional and solidarity pension plans; this could be due to the lack of information for their part. To solve this, management companies could increase the transparency about their corporate social responsibility (CSR) investments to encourage investors to invest in ethical products so these lead to raising CSR standards in companies, and therefore, sustainable development. Social implications – The Spanish socially responsible investment retail market is still at an early phase of development, and regulators should promote it in order to encourage firms to adopt business activities that take into account societal concerns. Originality/value – This paper provides new evidence in a field little analysed. This paper contributes to the existing literature by focusing on examining the behaviour of pension funds investors whose investment time horizon is in the long-term while previous literature focus on analysing behaviour of mutual fund investors whose investment time horizon is in the short/medium term what could cause different investors’ behaviour.

Full textAbstract:
School refusal is a complex phenomenon that has been subject to definitional and diagnostic confusion. The aetiology of school refusal remains incompletely understood; heterogeneity rather than homogeneity prevails. In the behaviour management of school refusal, the clinician may plan either a gradual or rapid school return. Although a graduated return to school may be necessary in certain cases, secondary complications are minimized by an immediate return to school. Both graduated and rapid treatment require a flexible and integrative approach drawing on classical, operant and vicarious conditioning principles. Little research has been conducted on the effectiveness of the behavioural management of school refusal, as well as psychological adjustment to school.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Designing effective management plans requires understanding fishers' behaviour under that plan, because fishers change their behaviour in response to economic and management incentives, which in turn will lead to different fishery outcomes. This study presents a modelling framework for management strategy evaluations which takes into account the response of fishers to management schemes. Based on the upcoming discard ban, two discard prevention strategies were tested for the North Sea saithe fishery, where fleet segments have either no or a generally low quota for cod. Costs and benefits were assessed under the current management, a non-flexible system, where fleet segments had to stop fishing once the cod quota was reached and a flexible system where quota of saithe could be used to cover over-quota catch of cod at a ratio 1:5. The flexible scenario was beneficial both in protecting the North Sea saithe and cod stock and in increasing net profits of fleet segments in the long term. The avoidance behaviour of fleet segments to over-quota catch led to a high SSB level of saithe and cod in the long term, ensuring high long-term catches and profits. A non-flexible scenario had a negative impact on the saithe stock, because mainly juvenile saithe before spawning were caught reducing the spawning-stock biomass in the longer term. A non-flexible scenario was costly in terms of up to 29% lower net profits for individual fleet segments generating little economic incentive to be compliant.

The aim of the study was to explore if and to what extent a positive perception of Human Resource Management Practices could be related to Organizational Citizenship Behaviors and if the Work–Family Interface could act as a mediator of such relationship. A group of 406 employees of an Italian sector of the Public Administration filled in a self-report questionnaire encompassing socio-professional information and the following psycho-social measures: Perception of Human Resource Management Scale, Work–Family Interface, and Organizational Citizenship Behaviors Scale. The results confirmed the importance of Human Resource Management Practices perceptions for positive Organizational Behaviors underlining the crucial role played by positive work-to-family and family-to-work spillover as mediators. The study reflected on the work–family relationships demonstrating the mediating role of positive work–family spillover in the relationships between perceived HR practices and organizational citizenship behaviors. The main limitations were related to the cross-sectional nature of the study and to the self-report measures used that raised concerns about possible common method bias. The findings showed implications for HR practices to plan actions and interventions aimed at supporting employees’ work–family balance and at encouraging organizational citizenship behaviors.

Introduction: Erythropoietic agent as standard practice for anemia treatment, which has a function to increase the value of hemoglobin (Hb) to 12 g/dl in patients with chronic renal failure (CRF), who receiving dialysis treatment. The use of erythropoietin has to keep of the iron/Fe amount in the body. Family who have a duty of care should have knowledge, attitude, and behavior to maintain patient’s Hb by giving support to the patient to obey the Fe diet. The aimed of this study was to investigate the effect of family centered care approach in management Fe diet toward family’s behaviour in maintenance Hb level of CRF patients in hemodialysis ward, Gambiran Hospital, Kediri.Method: This study was used a pre experimental design. Total sample were 10 respondents, who met to inclusion criteria. The independent variables were knowledge, attitude, and psychomotor of family in maintenance of Hb level in CRF’s patients. The dependent variable was Fe diet management with family centered care approach. Data was collected by using a structured questionnaire and home visit observation.Result: Data was analyzed by using Wilcoxon Sign Rank Test with significance level α≤0.05. Results showed that Fe diet management with family centered care approach took effect to family’s knowledge (p=0.011), family’s attitude (p=0.005) and family’s psychomotor (p=0.005) in maintenance Hb level of CRF patients.Conclusion: Family’s knowledge, attitude, and psychomotor were effected by experiences during the care of a patient, not affordable to access information and patient’s own decision. The strengths and weaknesses in the family to got a better plan of care can be made by discuss and sharing among researcher, patient and his family. It can be concluded that Fe diet management with family centered care approach took effect to family’s behaviour. Further studies should involve larger respondents and better measurement tools to obtain more accurate results.

Full textAbstract:
Owner-reported behavioural observations form an essential part of the veterinarians’ diagnosis and treatment plan. The way we train and manage horses affects their behaviour and, in turn, their health and welfare. Current horse training and management practices are largely driven by traditional techniques and longstanding methodologies. These approaches generally lack an evidence base for evaluation purposes. The absence of evidence and evaluation contributes to the persistent use of risky practices and this, in turn, increases risk of potential harms for both horse and rider, and fuels questioning of the equine industry’s current social license to operate. Objective evidence is required to make training and management decisions based on demonstrable best practice. Large-scale experimental or intervention studies using horses are generally not practical because of the associated costs and logistics of gaining ethical approval. Small studies generally lack statistical power and are subject to the effects of many forms of bias that demand caution in the interpretation of any observed effects. An alternative to collecting large amounts of empirical data is the use of owner-reported observations via online survey. Horse owners are ideally placed to report on the domestic equine triad of training, management, and behaviour. The current article highlights three sources of potential bias in a systematic review of literature on large-scale online studies of horse owners’ observational reports that met the following selection criteria: English-language, published, peer-reviewed articles reporting on studies with over 1000 respondents and open access to the survey instrument. The online surveys were evaluated for three common forms of bias: recall, confirmation, and sampling bias. This review reveals that online surveys are useful for gathering data on the triad of horse training, management, and behaviour. However, current use of online surveys to collect data on equitation science (including horse training, management, and behaviour) could be improved by using a standardised and validated tool. Such a tool would facilitate comparisons among equine and equitation science studies, thus advancing our understanding of the impacts of training and management on horse behaviour. The authors of the current review suggest the use of a standardised behavioural and management assessment tool for horses. Such a tool would help define what constitutes normal behaviour within geographically disparate populations of horses, leading to improvements in rider safety and horse welfare.

The unsafe behaviour prevention and control of general aviation pilots has become an emphasis in the general aviation safety management with the increasing number of general aviation enterprises, lengthening of flight time and frequent occurrence of public safety events caused by general aviation accidents. How to identify the factors influencing the unsafe behaviours of general aviation pilots and clarify the inter factor evolution mechanism is hot issue in the general aviation. To accurately identify the key factors influencing the unsafe behaviours of general aviation pilots and define the interaction mechanism between factors, using the unsafe behaviours of pilots in 200 global general aviation accidents during 2015-2019 and the association rule method, the bottom-layer factors of the Human Factors Analysis and Classification System (HFACS) model were analysed. Furthermore, the influence degree, influenced degree, centrality and causality of the influencing factors in the HFACS model were calculated, and the risk transfer path at different layers was determined on the basis of the integrated decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) and fuzzy theory. Results show that the poor individual ready state is strongly associated with skill error, decision-making error and habitual violation. Moreover, 11 factors, such as poor physical environment, physical/intelligence limitation and poor technical environment, constitute the factors in the cause group for pilot unsafe behaviours. 7 factors, such as insufficient supervision, improper operation plan and failure to discover and correct problems, are the factors in the result group. Illegal behaviour, failure to discover and correct problems and decision-making error of pilots, which are of high centrality, are key factors influencing the unsafe behaviours of general aviation pilots. The conclusions obtained from this study compensate the deficiencies for the linear statistical model of risk factors and provide a novel method for regulating and controlling the unsafe behaviours of general aviation pilots.

Objective - This paper develops a theoretical framework that consists of the factors affecting the work outcomes among educator continuous usage behaviour of Learning Management System (LMS). Methodology/Technique - The conceptual framework is based on the previous literature review and the underpinning theories which are an integral of Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and IS Continuance Model.Perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use and confirmation are identified as independent variables; satisfaction and IS continuance intention will be employed as mediating variable; and work outcomes as a dependent variable. Findings - In this study, 13 hypotheses have been proposed based on the conceptual framework outlined. The proposed framework would help the organizations to plan for the potential improvement of the systems and teaching strategies in the context of the LMS, in order to meet the educational goals and to get better learning outcomes. Novelty - Currently, there are very limited empirical researches that have been conducted on educator's outcomes on the post-adoption stage of LMS. Type of Paper - Conceptual Keywords : Management System; Educators; Work Outcomes; Perceived Usefulness; Perceived Ease of Use; Confirmation; Satisfaction; Continuance Intention

The article analyses the possible influence of third-party rights infringed during construction planning on the implementation of an investment project. It analyses the process for defence of third party rights infringed during territorial planning. The focus in this process is on third party rights and opportunities to learn about possible infringement of such rights. In a construction project, judicial disputes are an unwanted risk factor, which may disrupt the entire project. It is therefore necessary to plan and apply preventive measures for the mitigation of such risk at the initial planning stage of a construction project. For that end, the article presents some principles of behaviour and actions that could help investors and third parties to solve conflicts, reduce their negative outcomes or reach an arrangement satisfactory to both disputing parties.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose Understanding and predicting the behaviours of households within a community is a key concern for fire services as they plan to deliver effective and efficient public services. In this paper, an agent-based modelling approach is used to deepen understandings of changing patterns of behaviour within a community. The paper aims to discuss this issue. Design/methodology/approach This “Premonition” model draws on historical data of fire incidents and community interventions (e.g. home safety checks, fire safety campaigns, etc.) collated by South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue, UK, to unpack patterns of changing household behaviours within the region. Findings Findings from simulations carried out using the Premonition model, show that by targeting close-knit groups of connected households, the effectiveness of preventative interventions and utilisation of associated resources is enhanced. Furthermore, by repeating these interventions with the same households over time, risk factors within the wider area are further reduced. Originality/value The study thus shows that annual repeat visits to fewer and more targeted high-risk postcodes increase the overall reduction in risk within an area, when compared with a scattered coverage approach using one-off (i.e. not repeat) household visits within a postcode.

The emphasis within the development of the field of enterprise architecture has typically focused on the construction and design of the enterprise itself. This has ignored a primary need which is first to understand the purpose for which the enterprise is, or is to be, constructed. Purpose gives meaningful context to all the key features of the enterprise, its structure, behaviour, and measures. It is because of this requirement to understand purpose and therefore to have this context that issues of what an enterprise seeks to accomplish must first be resolved and made clear before being able meaningfully to analyse, design, plan, and determine future functions within the organisation—and thereby to implement a useful ontological view that leaves no room for misunderstanding.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to estimate respondents’ socio-ecological consciousness (SEC) (knowledge, perceptions, behaviour, habits and feelings) concerning household food waste (HFW) and to identify factors that influence attitude concerning HFW. Design/methodology/approach Data were collected through a questionnaire survey addressing to 279 residents in Western Macedonia, Greece. A principal component analysis was primarily applied to provide a manageable set of variables relevant to SEC. These variables were analyzed according to their positive/negative influence in SEC through descriptive statistics. Independent samples t-test analysis was employed to examine factors that influence HFW. Findings Results show that SEC is formed by three main activities: knowledge, perception and attitude. The survey reveals an inconsistency between existing knowledge and problematic perceptions, while the attitude includes neither harmful nor harmless HFW-related activities. A significant finding is that respondents’ age affects food rejection in different consumption stages in a household. Research limitations/implications Reliance on self-reported data for HFW that concerns a Greek case study does not allow a generalization of results. Practical implications The authors suggest a campaign plan for local bodies. The aim is to enhance respondents’ perceptual abilities and attitude concerning HFW. In order to raise awareness of students and individuals/households, related campaigns could be implemented by educational institutions and other policymakers. Originality/value The survey provides information for HFW, a topic not widely examined in Greece, and it is analyzed for the first time on the basis of SEC theory.

Full textAbstract:
The physical format of office configuration has advanced to mirror the intricacy of modern work and the transitory nature of contemporary employment. Drawing on the social exchange theory, this study examines the effect of office design and psychological empowerment on the relationship between transformational leadership and employee organizational citizenship behaviour (OCB). A total of 216 subordinates and 49 supervisors completed questionnaire items from ten organizations in Uzbekistan. The survey was conducted in two waves and designed to have multi-source respondents. Confirmatory factor analysis was run to examine the discriminant validity of our measurement model. Ordinary least square regression-based analysis was used to analyze direct and interaction effects, and then it was followed by bootstrapping tests to identify mediation effects. Results reveal that transformational leadership is significantly related to psychological empowerment, and that psychological empowerment mediates the relationship between transformational leadership and OCB. Furthermore, the relationship between psychological empowerment and OCB is stronger in an open-plan office type. This study confirms that transformational leaders are adept at bringing out the best in their followers, influencing their OCB by increasing intrinsic motivation (psychological empowerment). Office type—specifically, open-plan offices—will intensify employee willingness to engage in extra-role behaviour.
