Abstract:
Background & Objectives: People while availing services at Integrated Counselling and Testing Centers (ICTC) face a lot of administrative and procedural problems which affect their level of satisfaction. This study was conducted at ICTC, Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research, Chandigarh; within the scope of a larger research evaluating the “Quality of Infrastructure and Services available to PLHA”; to analyze the user’s perception about quality of services and factors affecting satisfaction level. Materials & Methods: Exit interviews of 50 randomly selected ICTC clients were conducted with structured questionnaire containing five groups of questions and questions on waiting time and satisfaction level. A scoring system was devised. The satisfaction level was cross matched with group questionsResults: The mean group scores of five groups of questions were: Information, access & guidance for services (42.5%), Behaviour of counsellors (94%), Quality of counselling (77.28%), Physical facilities (65.5%), Confidentiality, discrimination and grievance redressal (67%). All respondents said that counsellors were respectful and 91% found the behaviour of counsellor supportive & helpful, 80% reported that they understood everything that counsellor said. Eighty percent rated satisfaction level as satisfactory or above (6% very satisfactory, 74% satisfactory), 18% indifferent and 2% very dissatisfied. Factors found to be associated with client satisfaction level were counsellor’s response to the concerns and worries of clients up to their satisfaction (p=0.009), illumination in ICTC (p=0.04), knowledge of grievance redressal system (p=0.04) and total time spent in ICTC (p=0.03).Conclusion: This study provided user’s perspective about ICTC service and revealed the factors associated with ICTC service satisfaction level. Better quality ICTC Services can be provided by addressing these factors.

Abstract:
This article addresses the problem of providing career guidance to professionals who are expected to be made redundant. The aim of this thesis is to develop and to do expert-evaluation of the Outplacement Model for Employees Career Promotion (hereinafter referred to as “Model”). The study was developed in the Latvia University of Agriculture, the Institute of Education and Home Economics within the Master study programme Career Counsellor. An expert evaluation of the Model was carried out with the participation of 5 experts in the field of career counselling and personnel management. In general, expert assessments of the overall Model rating (7-9 points) are close to the maximum possible rating (10 points). The provision of Outplacement services in Latvia has a wide range of benefits to the employee, employer and society as a whole. The developed Model will help employees to become more aware of their abilities and return to the labour market soon, after leaving their previous job. The Model can be used by career guidance providers for organizations and employers, career counsellors, and companies providing outplacement services.

Abstract:
With the increasing use of information and communication technologies (ICT) in different areas of life, the type of communication and socialization among young people is changing. There is a need for an in-depth look at the possibilities for using ICT in career guidance for young people. The purpose of the study is to discover ICT usage habits of 8-12. classroom students. The study was developed in the Latvia University of Agriculture, the Institute of Education and Home Economics within the Master study programme Career Counsellor. 176 students were involved in the study from six comprehensive schools of Jurmala city. The surveys were conducted in 2016 and 2017. The study revealed that young people use ICT mainly as a means of communication and information source. Questionnaire revealed the most used social networks are Youtube, WhatsApp, Instragram and e-Class. Most of the young people are active in social networks several times a day and this communication channel is an appropriate resource for conducing career guidance for the audience of young, both for communication and the exchange of information on education and work opportunities, during classroom lessons and outside. Results of the research could be used by school teachers and school career counsellors.

Abstract:
Background: The objective of the study was to find out the knowledge of career counselling among High School Students in Pakistan, their attitude towards attaining this knowledge and role of counsellors in order to get the right decision.Methods: This cross sectional study was conducted from October to November 2016in two private institutes of Karachi. It included 500 students enrolled in a single high school for A-level and intermediate study program for session year 2016-2017. A Structured questionnaire was developed and adapted from previous studies. Data entry and analysis was done using SPSS 20. Frequencies, percentages, and P-values were reported for the categorical variables, while mean and standard deviation for Age. The variables were cross tabulated against Knowledge to find out their associations. A P-value of 0.05 was considered as statistically significant.Results: Out of 500 respondents, 54% were females. Most of the students were in the age group of 17-19 years. Most of the students took Science as a major subject, while many declared it was their first attempt for higher school examination. 32.6% students had an aim of becoming Engineer while 29.8% wanted to be doctors. Most of these made this choice based on their personal interest. 54.8% of students had knowledge of career counselling. On applying chi square tests, availability of career counsellor and seminar attendance was found to be significantly associated with knowledge. Many of the students found counselling to be very important and they believed that there is a need of counsellor in every school. Most of them found their parents to be the most helpful in choosing their career.Conclusions: It is concluded that most high school students possess appropriate knowledge, positive attitude but lack of proper practices. Students consider career counselling to be really important and they are really concerned in acquiring appropriate guidance. Parents seemed to play an influential role in their choices. It is evident that very few schools provide with career counselling session and there is no concept of presence of career counsellors in any school of Pakistan.

Abstract:
The study aimed to establish teacher counsellors’ views on the factors impacting the implementation of guidance and counselling services in the Ohangwena region of Namibia. The study was quantitative in nature and used a non experimental design that involved a survey. The population of the study comprised of teacher counsellors in all senior secondary schools in Ohangwena region. Data were collected using questionnaires which were administered to a sample of twenty six (26) teacher counsellors. Teacher counsellors were purposively sampled. The data was analysed by use of descriptive statistics using The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). Based on the findings of this study teacher counsellors viewed inadequate training, high teaching loads and time constraints, lack of support given to teacher counsellors and lack of resources and facilities as key factors impacting the successful implementation ofschool guidance and counselling. It was thus recommended that the training of teacher counsellors in school guidance and counselling be improved, reduced workload for teacher counsellors, better resources and facilities for guidance and counselling, and for teacher counsellors to be supported in order for guidance and counselling to be successfully implemented in schools.

Abstract:
This paper reports findings from a qualitative study conducted with public high school students and guidance counsellors in the north eastern United States of America to examine how class cutting is understood and addressed. Our findings indicate that interactions between students and guidance counsellors are similar to negotiations. These negotiations, however, are implicit rather than explicit. Explicit negotiations offer guidance counsellors a valuable tool for collaboratively exploring cutting with all relevant parties, including students, teachers, administrators, and parents. Explicit negotiations can examine underlying issues and conflicts precipitating cutting, the social meaning that cutting has for this student, desired outcomes, impediments to these outcomes, and the negotiation process itself. Not only can explicit negotiations aid guidance counsellors learning about and responding to cutting more effectively, but they also can model effective, collaborative problem solving for students and the larger school community.

Abstract:
Having a deep multicultural perception is a must for school counsellors who serve students from diverse cultural backgrounds. Describing their perception of the importance of multicultural guidance and counselling is the main objective of this study. Fifty middle and high school counsellors participated in this study. Data of their perception were collected by administering a 10-item questionnaire in an online version which requires them to respond on a scale of 1-10, ranging from not important to important, encompassing cognitive, affective, and practice dimensions. The main findings of this study revealed that school counsellors have similar perceptions on the importance of multicultural guidance and counselling either in cognitive, affective, or practice dimensions, according to demographic data categories of gender, age, and years of experience. The significant difference is only found as they are categorized into middle and high school counsellors.

Abstract:
The Internet has revolutionised communication around the globe, and Australia is no exception (Goodheart & Crawford, 1995). At this stage, only a few school guidance counsellors are fortunate enough to be able to “surf the Net”, although this is rapidly changing, with some Australian schools already connected and others about to join up shortly. The pace of change is rapid indeed, with developments like EdNA and OpenNet offering further possibilities. Those who do “get wired” will know just how deep a source of riches this can be. The purpose of this article is to outline some of the relevant discussion groups of interest to counsellors.

Abstract:
Adolescent depression is a significant problem in New Zealand. The Youth2000 survey indicated that around 9.0% of male and 18% of female secondary school students reported feeling depressed. School Guidance Counsellors (SGCs) are ideally placed to identify, assess and treat these adolescents. However, SGCs are rarely included in mental health research. I investigated the beliefs, knowledge and practice of SGCs around adolescent depression. There were three stages to the research. Stage One used a qualitative approach, with nine focus groups held in Auckland in 2004. Fifty-two SGCs participated. I developed a thematic map from the results that emerged. Category One ���Beliefs and Knowledge��� had three themes: causes, negative connotations and different presentations. Category Two ���Practice��� had five themes: assessment, referrals, effective therapy, systems and training needs. Stage Two comprised a questionnaire based on these results. This investigated SGCs��� knowledge of depression, assessment, training and referral decisions. It also requested demographic data. In 2005, this was sent to 455 SGCs throughout New Zealand. Two hundred and forty SGCs (53%) responded. Eighty percent did not believe that their initial training equipped them adequately to work with mild to moderately depressed adolescents. SGCs wanted further training, especially appropriate strategies. They requested information based on research and presented by clinicians. In Stage Three, I developed a training workshop on assessment, referral and treatment of adolescent depression, tailored to SGCs��� needs. Thirty-nine SGCs attended workshops in 2006. Evaluations were positive and indicated that this training was appropriate and useful. SGCs would recommend the workshop to others. Strengths and weaknesses of the study are discussed and recommendations made about future developments. There is emphasis on the need for policy to encourage collaboration between SGCs and Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS), education and health, training providers and the New Zealand Association of Counsellors. As SGCs are placed outside both teaching and health, they need to be adequately trained and receive regular professional development, supervision and consultation around depression. CAMHS are well placed to offer training to SGCs based on identified needs and evidence-based practice.

Abstract:
This study employed a variation of grounded theory method to investigate how seasoned counsellors in a midsized Canadian city experienced their counsellor professional identity. Six master's-level counsellors were interviewed using a semi-structured interview protocol to develop an understanding of how they define themselves as professionals, as well as how they view the counselling profession overall. Twenty-five themes emerged, which were further classified into five categories: (a) key influences on counsellor professional identity, which included seven themes; (b) counsellors' professional image, which included seven themes; (c) counsellors' roles and practices, which included six themes; (d) counsellor education and training, which included three themes; and (e) critical events of counsellor professional identity, which included two themes. Encouraging counsellors and counsellor trainees to reflect upon their professional identity and how it develops could foster a stronger professional identity among counsellors and ultimately promote a stronger and more unified image of the profession.

Vi hade en förförståelse om att nätverk, arbetsmiljö, lön och geografi skulle kunna vara betydelsefulla faktorer i sammanhanget. Våra frågeställningar är: Vilken roll spelar den nyexaminerade studie- och yrkesvägledares nätverk under dennes etableringsfas till arbetsmarknaden? Vilka faktorer påverkar nyexaminerade studie- och yrkesvägledare enligt dem själva under etableringsfasen till arbetsmarknaden? Påverkar exempelvis lön, geografi, arbetsmiljö eller andra faktorer som vi inte har tänkt på? Vi gjorde kvalitativa intervjuer med sex studie- och yrkesvägledare som har tagit examen inom de senaste fem åren. Vi använde Krumboltz och Levins (2010) Planned happenstance och Patton och McMahons (2006) Systemteori för att analysera resultatet. Vi kunde se att respondenterna upplevde nätverk och arbetsmarknaden som två viktiga påverkansfaktorer. Även faktorer som arbetsmiljö, yrkesroll, arbetsuppgifter, målgrupp, elevantal och geografiskt läge visade sig vara betydelsefulla men underordnade framförallt arbetsmarknadens påverkan på respondenternas etableringsfaser.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Counselling has been recognised as an important component ofHIV and AIDS care, and an essential part ofHIV testing. Counsellors are involved in a dynamic interrelationship with their clients as well as with the organisations in which they work. From a psychoanalytic framework, unconscious anxieties can playa role in the work of the counsellor. Transference and countertransference are processes, which are involved in the counselling situation. While these processes can be a source for understanding the client, they may also become problematic for the counsellor when they overwhelm the counsellor. This study explores the experiences of HIVIAIDS counsellors attached to Lifeline, Khayelitsha in Cape Town. Twenty-nine counsellors were interviewed using individual interviews and focus group discussions. Results explore the counselling training and activity; the difficulties of counselling; what helps the counsellor to cope; and the general impact that counselling has had on the counsellors' lives. The findings reveal the difficult and often distressing aspect of counselling persons with HIVand AIDS. A number of issues facing the client, as well as cultural and workplace issues may cause difficulties for the counsellor. In addition, the nature of the disease, and the issues it creates for the patient, can arouse a number of anxieties in the counsellor related to their own past. The results reveal some possible limitations to an individual client-centred approach. The study concludes that psychodynamic issues should form part of the counsellor's training, and be explored during regular counsellor supervision.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Berading is erken as 'n belangrike komponent in HIV en VIGS sorg, en 'n essensiele deel van HIV toetsing. Beraders is betrokke in 'n dinamiese verhouding met hul kliënte so wel as die organisasies vir wie hulle werk. Vanaf 'n psigoanalitiese raamwerk kan angs in die onderbewussyn, 'n rol speel in die werk van beraders. Oordrag en teenoordrag is prosesse wat betrokke is by die beradingsituasie. Alhoewel die proses 'n bron is wat tot beter verstandhouding met die kliënt kan lei, mag dit ook die berader oorweldig. Hierdie studie verken die ervaringe van beraders verbonde aan LifeLine, Khayelitsha in Kaapstad. Nege-entwintig beraders is individueelonderhoude mee gevoer en het aan fokus groepe deelgeneem. Resultate ondersoek die berading opleiding en aktiwiteite; die problematiese aspek van berading; wat die berader help om klaar te kom; en die algemene impak wat berading het op die lewe van 'n berader. Die resultate onthul die moeilike en dikwelse stresvolle aspek van berading met HIV en VIGS pasiënte. 'n Aantal aspekte wat die pasiënte mee toe doen kry so wel as kulturele en werksplek faktore kan sake vir die berader beïnvloed. Verder kan die aard van die siekte en die probleme wat die siekte vir die pasiënt veroorsaak lei tot angs vir die berader ten opsigte van sy ofhaar eie verlede. Die resultate onthul verskeie tekortkominge tot 'n individueeie kliëntgesentreerde berading. Die studie beslus dat psigodinamiese probleme dalk deel moet vorm in die berader se opleiding, asook verder ondersoek moet word in gewone berader toesighouding.

Abstract:
Grâce aux apports de la sociologie de l’action publique, des groupes professionnels et de l’institution, on cherche à comprendre dans cette recherche, consacrée à une sociogenèse du métier de conseiller d’orientation de 1959 à 1993, l’échec (relatif) des conseillers d’orientation pour imposer, et, corrélativement, occuper un domaine de compétences stable, reconnu et valorisé, au sein de l’enseignement secondaire, de 1959 à 1993. Convoitant le champ de compétences du cycle d’observation des aptitudes des élèves – apparaissant dans l’Entre-deux-guerres -, les conseillers d’orientation n’intègrent qu’officiellement l’enseignement secondaire en 1959 avec la réforme de l’enseignement Berthoin. Néanmoins, l’examen du processus d’élaboration des politiques scolaires des années 1950 montre que leurs savoirs et pratiques professionnelles, hérités de la psychologie expérimentale, se heurtent aux logiques dominantes structurant les politiques scolaires, à savoir la préservation de l’ordre scolaire, « menacé » par l’explosion scolaire, et la recherche d’une adéquation de l’École avec l’économie. Ces finalités génèrent une redéfinition du métier de conseiller d’orientation dans les années 1960 neutralisant du même coup les dimensions critiques de leur expertise psychologique. Le conseiller d’orientation est alors censé dépister les « inadaptés scolaires » et informer les élèves des débouchés professionnels. Profitant de la critique de l’arbitraire, dénoncé notamment durant Mai-Juin 68, et de l’avènement de l’échec scolaire comme problème public légitime au début des années 1970, les conseillers d’orientation réussissent à préserver l’unité relative de leur métier et à occuper le champ d’intervention professionnelle de l’échec scolaire. Pour les acteurs des politiques scolaires, ils doivent participer à la fabrication du consentement des élèves à leurs destins scolaires et professionnels, mais doivent également assurer l’information professionnelle des jeunes. Le métier de conseiller d’orientation oscille entre ces deux finalités, y compris de 1981 à 1989. Sous le ministère de l’Education nationale de Lionel Jospin, l’idée du nécessaire consentement de l’élève à son devenir scolaire et professionnel est à nouveau au cœur de la politique scolaire. Elle s’inscrit dans le sillage de l’entreprise de modernisation de l’Ecole, nouvelle thématique au milieu des années 1980. C’est dans ce contexte que s’organise la revendication des porte-paroles des conseillers d’orientation d’être reconnu comme psychologue, statut protégé par la loi de mars 1985. Garantissant leur légitimité à intervenir dans le champ d’intervention professionnelle de l’échec scolaire, le statut de psychologue prémunit le groupe professionnel de redéfinitions illimitées de leur métier ou, du moins, en délimite le champ des possibles
Thanks to the contributions of the sociology of public policy, of professions and of the institution, we try to understand in this research, devoted to a sociogenesis of the profession of guidance counsellor from 1959 to 1993, the (relative) failure of guidance counsellors to impose, and, correlatively, to occupy a stable, recognized and valorised jurisdiction within secondary education from 1959 to 1993.Claiming the tasks areas of the pupils' abilities observation cycle – appearing in the inter-war period -, the guidance counsellors only officially incorporate middle school in 1959 with the Berthoin education reform. Nevertheless, the examination of the school policy-making process of the 1950s shows that their professional knowledge and practices, inherited from experimental psychology, are confronted with the dominant logic of school policies, namely preservation of the school system, “threatened” by the school explosion, and the search for adequacy of the School with the economy. These aims generate a redefinition of the profession of guidance counsellor in the 1960s, neutralizing at the same time the critical dimensions of their psychological expertise. The guidance counsellor is then supposed to detect the "unsuitable pupils" and to inform the pupils of the career opportunities. Taking advantage of the criticism of arbitrariness, denounced in particular during the events of May-June 1968, and the advent of academic failure as a legitimate public problem in the early 1970s, guidance counsellors succeeded in preserving the relative unity of their expertise and in occupying the field of professional intervention of school failure. For policy-makers, they must be involved in making pupils' consent to their academic and professional destiny, but must also ensure the professional information of young people. The profession of guidance counsellor oscillates between these two purposes, from 1981 to 1989. Under the Lionel Jospin's Ministry of Education, the idea of the necessary consent of the pupil to his educational and professional future is once again at the heart of school policy. It is in line with the modernization of the School system, a new theme of the mid-1980s. In this context the claim of spokespersons of counsellors is organized. It aims at the recognition of counsellors as psychologists, a status protected by the law of March 1985. Guaranteeing their legitimacy to intervene in the tasks areas of academic failure, the status of psychologist protects the professional group from unlimited redefinitions of their profession or, at least, delimits the scope of possibilities

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to trace the development of the counseling movement in Hong Kong from its beginning to the present and to examine future directions confronting those who work in the counseling field in Hong Kong. Originating from social unrest in 1966 and 1967, the counseling movement began as an attempt to meet the society's developmental needs of self-expression and direction. Although not a formal program, the first known counseling service in Hong Kong was offered by Ben Fong in 1967 at the Yang Memorial Social Service Center. In 1969 the Hong Kong Federation of Youth Groups established the first formal counseling service in Hong Kong. Institutions of higher education and foreigners played a major role in the development of early counseling services in Hong Kong. In 197 0, Peter Whyte, an Australian, organized a counseling service at the University Hong Kong. In 1971, Ken Locke, an American, established a counseling service at the Hong Kong Baptist College. Counseling services grew rapidly in the early 1970s, and a 1975 survey identified fifty-five agencies which reported providing counseling services. In the mid-1970s, helping professionals were struggling with the issue of "What is counseling?" A significant developmental step was the establishment of a master's degree program in counseling at the Chinese University of Hong Kong in 1977. The first professional counseling organization, the Association of Psychological and Educational Counselors of Asia-Hong Kong Branch, was organized in 1979 and the first counseling journal was published in 1980. In 1984, the Education Department of the Hong Kong Government established guidance services in secondary schools. The challenge for the counselors of Hong Kong in the 1990s relates to two foreseeable changes in the Hong Kong community, the Chinese recovery of the sovereignty of Hong Kong in 1997 and the aging of the population.

Abstract:
This Master Thesis is the research done in the country of Rwanda. The project leads to study the climate of this country in order to establish whether this climate could be used to produce energy from air and to implement the first wind turbine for serving the nation.   After an introduction about the historical background of wind power, the thesis work deals with assessment of wind energy potential of Rwanda in focusing of the most suitable place for wind power plants. The best location with annual mean wind speed, the rate of use of turbine with hub height for an annual production per year, the mean wind speeds for 6 sites of Rwanda based on ECMWF for climatic data for one year at relief of altitude of 100m and coordinates are reported too.   The result of energy produced and calculations were done based on power hitting wind turbine generator in order to calculate Kinetic energy and power available at the best location to the measurement over the period of 12 months, that could be hoped for long term.   With help of logarithmic law, where wind speed usually increases with increasing in elevation and the desired wind speeds at all 6 sites were used. The annual energy production was taken into account at the best site with desired wind speed at the initial cost of turbine as well as the cost of energy (COE).However, with comparison of the tariff of EWSA, the price of Wind designed in this Research per kWh is cheaper and suitable for people of Rwanda.

South Africa faces massive unemployment. The two major employers are the government and commercial enterprises of the private sector. Owing to restrictive fiscal policies, government has little leeway to create major employment opportunities. Greater emphasis is being placed on the commercial sector to fulfil this need. Vocational guidance counsellors ought to help a child acquire work-related knowledge in the classroom, thus saving them time, and sometimes the pain, of learning the hard way. By directing this research specifically at vocational guidance, much could be done by the guidance counsellor to help children towards embarking on a career in commerce. The aims of this study are: * To pursue a study of relevant literature on school guidance counselling. * To undertake an empirical investigation into the school guidance counsellor's role pertaining to a career in commerce. * To provide certain guidelines and recommendations regarding the school guidance counsellor's role with regards to a career in commerce. Research with regard to this study was conducted as follows: * A literature study of available, relevant literature. * An empirical study comprising structured questionnaires completed by guidance teachers of secondary schools. A Likert type scale questionnaire with three response categories; viz. Agree, Disagree and Uncertain, was constructed. The three response categories ensured that the respondents' selections fell into one of the categories enabling the measurement of the direction and intensity of their perceptions of the school vocational guidance counsellor's role pertaining to a career in commerce. Fifty -one respondents, representing guidance teachers and guidance counsellors were randomly selected from 14 secondary schools in Southern KwaZulu-Natal. With the aim of administering questionnaires in schools, it was necessary to first obtain permission from the Department of Education in KwaZulu-Natal. Only after such permission was granted, was the researcher able to conduct this study. The primary data was in the form of a response to one of the three response categories (Agree, Disagree, Uncertain). Scores of the responses to each of the three categories were calculated. The descriptive technique was employed for the quantitative analysis of the data. This investigation has the following value: * It will provide an image of school vocational guidance counsellors' perceptions of their role pertaining to a career in commerce. * Certain guidelines can be formulated to encourage the support of the school vocational guidance counsellor's task. Anticipated dissemination of the research findings: * The research findings will culminate in articles (of accredited journals) and will be submitted to the relevant Education Department for possible implementation. * Findings from the research can be useful in planning of suitable methods (workshops, videos, etc.) to assist school vocational guidance counsellors and teachers of school guidance to meet the future vocational needs of their pupils. The topic lends itself to further research by interested stakeholders.

Thesis (M.Tech.:Chiropractic)-Dept. of Chiropractic, Durban Institute of Technology, 2005 x, 91, [26] leaves : ill. ; 30 cm
If learners are to make a responsible and accountable choice at school of a field of study and occupation, it is imperative that they receive intensive guidance in this regard at school. Appropriate guidance on educational and occupational matters, and orientation of learners with respect to their individual potentials, will enable learners to choose fields of study at school that will correspond to wider occupational fields and that will serve as a meaningful introduction for a reasonable future choice of an occupation. Thus it was the purpose of this study to determine the current knowledge and perceptions of school guidance counsellors (SGC) with respect to the chiropractic profession in South Africa. This study has thus established a knowledge base to facilitate greater understanding and co-operation between school guidance counsellors (SGC) and chiropractors regarding the referral of learners, who may be interested in a profession in the alternative health care industry, to join the chiropractic field as a learner with the intent to become a practitioner.

Abstract:
This is a qualitative study which investigates the attitudes of school principals towards school guidance in the historically disadvantaged secondary schools in the township of Madadeni. The sample consists of five secondary school principals recruited from Madadeni schools. Structured interviews were used to collect data. A set of questions were drawn up by the researcher and aimed at collecting such information as the opinions of the principals on the importance of school guidance, what school guidance should provide, adherence to school guidance periods, the role of a guidance teacher, and the expected position of school guidance in the Curriculum 2005. The results indicated that although the school principals see the need for school guidance in secondary school, there seem to be problems emanating from lack of resources and insufficient personnel. There were also indications that school guidance will have an important role in the Curriculum 2005 in the form of Life Orientation learning area.

Abstract:
The importance of career guidance and the competences of a career counsellor is described and highlighted in this article. The counsellors are seen as key professionals assisting individuals in their educational and job transitions during their career, addressing both individual and labour market requirements. The aim of the study is to analyse the self-assessment of career counsellor competencies in the field of career guidance depending on the place of residence in Latvia. The self-evaluation of career counsellors regarding their competence was used. In the study 340 respondents took part from all Latvia regions, they were graduates of the last eleven years of the Career Counsellors Master's Program and other in-service career counsellors and school career counsellors working in schools, employment agencies and private consulting companies. The data were analysed statistically by using SPSS computer program: 1) crosstab method, 2) chi-squared test. The significance of the results and the most important conclusion: analysing the frequency of respondents’ responses of excellent and good career counsellor competence depending on the place of residence, it can be concluded that excellent (Pearson Chi-Square p-value = 0.867) and good (Pearson Chi-Square p-value = 0.892) career counsellor competence not depending on the place of residence of the respondents, the excellent and good career counsellor competence is equally good everywhere in Latvia.

Abstract:
Although career guidance in the Czech Republic is officially perceived as a priority of the education system, guidance support is not provided equally at all types of schools and on all levels of the education system. For example, we register insufficient support for students at secondary vocational schools. As previous research by the authors of the article has shown, it seems that once a young person decides to pursue a career, the effort of the school system to pay further attention to career guidance will also decrease. This paper is aimed to suggest a new program for career education, counselling and training, afterwards to pilot it at three secondary vocational schools, and with the help of action research to collect and to evaluate experience from the school practice. The empirical part of this article consists of three research phases. First, a baseline analysis was performed using mixed data resources (questionnaire survey among students, interviews with school counsellors and document analysis). In the second phase, a new career guidance program was proposed. Finally, the program was tested at three vocational schools in the years 2019 and 2020. Using action research design, the researchers gathered evidence and identified the benefits of new counselling activities. Based on these results, proposals for further improvement and implementation of career guidance and education at secondary vocational schools were submitted.

Abstract:
This paper reveals the process of creating a career guidance 3D quest game for applicants who aim to apply for IT departments. The game bases on 3D model of computer science and information technologies department in the National Aerospace University “Kharkiv Aviation Institute”. The quest challenges aim to assess the digital competency level of the applicants and first- year students. The paper features leveraged software tools, development stages, implementation challenges, and the gaming application scenario. The game scenario provides for a virtual tour around a department of the 3D university. As far as the game replicates the real-life objects, applicants can see the department's equipment and class-rooms. For the gaming application development team utilized С# and C++, Unity 3D, and Source Engine. For object modeling, we leveraged Hammer Editor, Agisoft PhotoScan Pro, and the photogrammetry technology, that allowed for realistic gameplay. Players are offered various formats of assessment of digital competencies: test task, puzzle, assembling a computer and setting up an IT-specialist workplace. The experiment conducted at the open house day proved the 3D quest game efficiency. The results of digital competence evaluation do not depend on the testing format. The applicants mostly preferred to take a 3D quest, as more up-to-date and attractive engagement.

Abstract:
Background Lung cancer is the number one cause of cancer death worldwide.(1) It is the fifth most commonly diagnosed cancer in Australia (12,741 cases diagnosed in 2018) and the leading cause of cancer death.(2) The number of years of potential life lost to lung cancer in Australia is estimated to be 58,450, similar to that of colorectal and breast cancer combined.(3) While tobacco control strategies are most effective for disease prevention in the general population, early detection via low dose computed tomography (LDCT) screening in high-risk populations is a viable option for detecting asymptomatic disease in current (13%) and former (24%) Australian smokers.(4) The purpose of this Evidence Check review is to identify and analyse existing and emerging evidence for LDCT lung cancer screening in high-risk individuals to guide future program and policy planning. Evidence Check questions This review aimed to address the following questions: 1. What is the evidence for the effectiveness of lung cancer screening for higher-risk individuals? 2. What is the evidence of potential harms from lung cancer screening for higher-risk individuals? 3. What are the main components of recent major lung cancer screening programs or trials? 4. What is the cost-effectiveness of lung cancer screening programs (include studies of cost–utility)? Summary of methods The authors searched the peer-reviewed literature across three databases (MEDLINE, PsycINFO and Embase) for existing systematic reviews and original studies published between 1 January 2009 and 8 August 2019. Fifteen systematic reviews (of which 8 were contemporary) and 64 original publications met the inclusion criteria set across the four questions. Key findings Question 1: What is the evidence for the effectiveness of lung cancer screening for higher-risk individuals? There is sufficient evidence from systematic reviews and meta-analyses of combined (pooled) data from screening trials (of high-risk individuals) to indicate that LDCT examination is clinically effective in reducing lung cancer mortality. In 2011, the landmark National Lung Cancer Screening Trial (NLST, a large-scale randomised controlled trial [RCT] conducted in the US) reported a 20% (95% CI 6.8% – 26.7%; P=0.004) relative reduction in mortality among long-term heavy smokers over three rounds of annual screening. High-risk eligibility criteria was defined as people aged 55–74 years with a smoking history of ≥30 pack-years (years in which a smoker has consumed 20-plus cigarettes each day) and, for former smokers, ≥30 pack-years and have quit within the past 15 years.(5) All-cause mortality was reduced by 6.7% (95% CI, 1.2% – 13.6%; P=0.02). Initial data from the second landmark RCT, the NEderlands-Leuvens Longkanker Screenings ONderzoek (known as the NELSON trial), have found an even greater reduction of 26% (95% CI, 9% – 41%) in lung cancer mortality, with full trial results yet to be published.(6, 7) Pooled analyses, including several smaller-scale European LDCT screening trials insufficiently powered in their own right, collectively demonstrate a statistically significant reduction in lung cancer mortality (RR 0.82, 95% CI 0.73–0.91).(8) Despite the reduction in all-cause mortality found in the NLST, pooled analyses of seven trials found no statistically significant difference in all-cause mortality (RR 0.95, 95% CI 0.90–1.00).(8) However, cancer-specific mortality is currently the most relevant outcome in cancer screening trials. These seven trials demonstrated a significantly greater proportion of early stage cancers in LDCT groups compared with controls (RR 2.08, 95% CI 1.43–3.03). Thus, when considering results across mortality outcomes and early stage cancers diagnosed, LDCT screening is considered to be clinically effective. Question 2: What is the evidence of potential harms from lung cancer screening for higher-risk individuals? The harms of LDCT lung cancer screening include false positive tests and the consequences of unnecessary invasive follow-up procedures for conditions that are eventually diagnosed as benign. While LDCT screening leads to an increased frequency of invasive procedures, it does not result in greater mortality soon after an invasive procedure (in trial settings when compared with the control arm).(8) Overdiagnosis, exposure to radiation, psychological distress and an impact on quality of life are other known harms. Systematic review evidence indicates the benefits of LDCT screening are likely to outweigh the harms. The potential harms are likely to be reduced as refinements are made to LDCT screening protocols through: i) the application of risk predication models (e.g. the PLCOm2012), which enable a more accurate selection of the high-risk population through the use of specific criteria (beyond age and smoking history); ii) the use of nodule management algorithms (e.g. Lung-RADS, PanCan), which assist in the diagnostic evaluation of screen-detected nodules and cancers (e.g. more precise volumetric assessment of nodules); and, iii) more judicious selection of patients for invasive procedures. Recent evidence suggests a positive LDCT result may transiently increase psychological distress but does not have long-term adverse effects on psychological distress or health-related quality of life (HRQoL). With regards to smoking cessation, there is no evidence to suggest screening participation invokes a false sense of assurance in smokers, nor a reduction in motivation to quit. The NELSON and Danish trials found no difference in smoking cessation rates between LDCT screening and control groups. Higher net cessation rates, compared with general population, suggest those who participate in screening trials may already be motivated to quit. Question 3: What are the main components of recent major lung cancer screening programs or trials? There are no systematic reviews that capture the main components of recent major lung cancer screening trials and programs. We extracted evidence from original studies and clinical guidance documents and organised this into key groups to form a concise set of components for potential implementation of a national lung cancer screening program in Australia: 1. Identifying the high-risk population: recruitment, eligibility, selection and referral 2. Educating the public, people at high risk and healthcare providers; this includes creating awareness of lung cancer, the benefits and harms of LDCT screening, and shared decision-making 3. Components necessary for health services to deliver a screening program: a. Planning phase: e.g. human resources to coordinate the program, electronic data systems that integrate medical records information and link to an established national registry b. Implementation phase: e.g. human and technological resources required to conduct LDCT examinations, interpretation of reports and communication of results to participants c. Monitoring and evaluation phase: e.g. monitoring outcomes across patients, radiological reporting, compliance with established standards and a quality assurance program 4. Data reporting and research, e.g. audit and feedback to multidisciplinary teams, reporting outcomes to enhance international research into LDCT screening 5. Incorporation of smoking cessation interventions, e.g. specific programs designed for LDCT screening or referral to existing community or hospital-based services that deliver cessation interventions. Most original studies are single-institution evaluations that contain descriptive data about the processes required to establish and implement a high-risk population-based screening program. Across all studies there is a consistent message as to the challenges and complexities of establishing LDCT screening programs to attract people at high risk who will receive the greatest benefits from participation. With regards to smoking cessation, evidence from one systematic review indicates the optimal strategy for incorporating smoking cessation interventions into a LDCT screening program is unclear. There is widespread agreement that LDCT screening attendance presents a ‘teachable moment’ for cessation advice, especially among those people who receive a positive scan result. Smoking cessation is an area of significant research investment; for instance, eight US-based clinical trials are now underway that aim to address how best to design and deliver cessation programs within large-scale LDCT screening programs.(9) Question 4: What is the cost-effectiveness of lung cancer screening programs (include studies of cost–utility)? Assessing the value or cost-effectiveness of LDCT screening involves a complex interplay of factors including data on effectiveness and costs, and institutional context. A key input is data about the effectiveness of potential and current screening programs with respect to case detection, and the likely outcomes of treating those cases sooner (in the presence of LDCT screening) as opposed to later (in the absence of LDCT screening). Evidence about the cost-effectiveness of LDCT screening programs has been summarised in two systematic reviews. We identified a further 13 studies—five modelling studies, one discrete choice experiment and seven articles—that used a variety of methods to assess cost-effectiveness. Three modelling studies indicated LDCT screening was cost-effective in the settings of the US and Europe. Two studies—one from Australia and one from New Zealand—reported LDCT screening would not be cost-effective using NLST-like protocols. We anticipate that, following the full publication of the NELSON trial, cost-effectiveness studies will likely be updated with new data that reduce uncertainty about factors that influence modelling outcomes, including the findings of indeterminate nodules. Gaps in the evidence There is a large and accessible body of evidence as to the effectiveness (Q1) and harms (Q2) of LDCT screening for lung cancer. Nevertheless, there are significant gaps in the evidence about the program components that are required to implement an effective LDCT screening program (Q3). Questions about LDCT screening acceptability and feasibility were not explicitly included in the scope. However, as the evidence is based primarily on US programs and UK pilot studies, the relevance to the local setting requires careful consideration. The Queensland Lung Cancer Screening Study provides feasibility data about clinical aspects of LDCT screening but little about program design. The International Lung Screening Trial is still in the recruitment phase and findings are not yet available for inclusion in this Evidence Check. The Australian Population Based Screening Framework was developed to “inform decision-makers on the key issues to be considered when assessing potential screening programs in Australia”.(10) As the Framework is specific to population-based, rather than high-risk, screening programs, there is a lack of clarity about transferability of criteria. However, the Framework criteria do stipulate that a screening program must be acceptable to “important subgroups such as target participants who are from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, people from disadvantaged groups and people with a disability”.(10) An extensive search of the literature highlighted that there is very little information about the acceptability of LDCT screening to these population groups in Australia. Yet they are part of the high-risk population.(10) There are also considerable gaps in the evidence about the cost-effectiveness of LDCT screening in different settings, including Australia. The evidence base in this area is rapidly evolving and is likely to include new data from the NELSON trial and incorporate data about the costs of targeted- and immuno-therapies as these treatments become more widely available in Australia.

Abstract:
Frequent and proper handwashing with soap is vital to prevent the spread of COVID-19. In response, the Sanitation Learning Hub at the Institute of Development Studies has developed this Handwashing Compendium for Low Resource Settings. Bringing existing information from different organisations into one place, the compendium provides guidance, local examples of and further resources on accessible low-cost handwashing facilities, environmental cues and physically distanced hygiene promotion. The compendium is a living document which will be updated regularly as learning emerges. It has been developed and disseminated quickly so immediate, relevant and timely actions can be taken. Please share feedback and contributions via email (SLH@ids.ac.uk) or Twitter (@SanLearningHub). For those with limited internet access, individual sections of the compendium can also be sent upon request.

Jones, Theresa, and Elisabeth Storer. Key Considerations: Adherence to COVID-19 Preventive Measures in Greater Kampala, Uganda. Institute of Development Studies (IDS), March 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.19088/sshap.2022.005.

Full text
Abstract:
This brief sets out key considerations for risk communications and community engagement (RCCE) to promote adherence to COVID-19 preventive measures in greater Kampala, Uganda. It looks at adherence to COVID-19 preventive measures, assesses the challenges to their adoption and outlines key considerations for partners working in RCCE and the wider COVID-19 emergency response. The brief responds to concern (as of March 2022) about COVID-19 transmission in informal urban areas in Uganda due to their high population density, limited sanitary infrastructure, and reported low uptake of vaccination. Ensuring effective communication and engagement with a series of preventative measures is essential in limiting the spread of COVID-19. The Ministry of Health and response partners have been proactive, however interventions and guidance for COVID-19 have taken limited account of social science research about the perceptions and practices related to COVID-19 regulations. This brief aims to address this gap so these data may be used to inform more effective and practicable guidance for vulnerable groups. This brief draws primarily on an analysis of existing scientific and grey literature. Additional primary data was collected through consultation with six social science and RCCE experts who focus on this geographical area. The brief was requested by UNICEF Uganda in consultation with the Uganda Ministry of Health (MoH) RCCE subcommittee and the RCCE technical working group for the Eastern and South Africa region (ESAR). It was developed for SSHAP by Theresa Jones (Anthrologica) and supported by Elizabeth Storer (London School of Economics), with contributions and reviews by colleagues at Anthrologica, the Institute of Development Studies (IDS), UNICEF ESARO and Uganda, Makerere University, the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM), Dreamline Products and the IFRC.

Saltus, Christina, Molly Reif, and Richard Johansen. waterquality for ArcGIS Pro Toolbox : user's guide. Engineer Research and Development Center (U.S.), September 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.21079/11681/45362.

Full text
Abstract:
Monitoring water quality of small inland lakes and reservoirs is a critical component of the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) water quality management plans. However, limited resources for traditional field-based monitoring of numerous lakes and reservoirs covering vast geographic areas often leads to reactional responses to harmful algal bloom (HAB) outbreaks. Satellite remote sensing methodologies using HAB indicators is a good low-cost option to traditional methods and has been proven to maximize and complement current field-based approaches while providing a synoptic view of water quality (Beck et al. 2016; Beck et al. 2017; Beck et al. 2019; Johansen et al. 2019; Mishra et al. 2019; Stumpf and Tomlinson 2007; Wang et al. 2020; Xu et al. 2019; Reif 2011). To assist USACE water quality management, we developed an Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI) ArcGIS Pro desktop software toolbox (waterquality for ArcGIS Pro) founded on the design and research established in the waterquality R software package (Johansen et al. 2019; Johansen 2020). The toolbox enables the detection, monitoring, and quantification of HAB indicators (chlorophyll-a, phycocyanin, and turbidity) using Sentinel-2 satellite imagery. Four tools are available: (1) automating the download of Sentinel-2 Level-2A imagery, (2) creating stacked image with options for cloud and non-water features masks, (3) applying water quality algorithms to generate relative estimations of one to three water quality parameters (chlorophyll-a, phycocyanin, and turbidity), and (4) creating linear regression graphs and statistics comparing in situ data (from field-based water sampling) to relative estimation data. This document serves as a user’s guide for the waterquality for ArcGIS Pro toolbox and includes instructions on toolbox installation and descriptions of each tool’s inputs, outputs, and troubleshooting guidance.

Herbert, Siân. Donor Support to Electoral Cycles. Institute of Development Studies (IDS), April 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.19088/k4d.2021.043.

Abstract:
This rapid literature review explains the stages of an election cycle, and how donors provide support to electoral cycles. It draws mainly on policy guidance websites and papers due to the questions of this review and the level of analysis taken (global-level, donor-level). It focuses on publications from the last five years, and/or current/forthcoming donor strategies. The electoral cycle and its stages are well-established policy concepts for which there is widespread acceptance and use. Donor support to electoral cycles (through electoral assistance and electoral observation) is extremely widespread, and the dominant donors in this area are the multilateral organisations like the United Nations (UN) and the European Union (EU), and also the United States (US). While almost all bilateral donors also carry out some work in this area, “almost all major electoral support programmes are provided jointly with international partners” (DFID, 2014, p.5). Bilateral donors may provide broader support to democratic governance initiatives, which may not be framed as electoral assistance, but may contribute to the wider enabling environment. All of the donors reviewed in this query emphasise that their programmes are designed according to the local context and needs, and thus, beyond the big actors - EU, UN and US, there is little overarching information on what the donors do in this area. While there is a significant literature base in the broad area of electoral support, it tends to be focussed at the country, programme, or thematic, level, rather than at the global, or donor, level taken by this paper. There was a peak in global-level publications on this subject around 2006, the year the electoral cycle model was published by the European Commission, International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance (International IDEA), and United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). This review concludes by providing examples of the electoral assistance work carried out by five donors (UN, EU, US, UK and Germany).

District level baseline survey of family planning program in Uttar Pradesh: Nainital. Population Council, 1995. http://dx.doi.org/10.31899/rh1995.1011.

Full text
Abstract:
In 1992, the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare and the United States Agency for International Development, New Delhi, began the Innovations in Family Planning Services Project (IFPS) under the management of the State Innovation in Family Planning Services Agency (SIFPSA), Lucknow. The goal was to reduce the fertility rate in Uttar Pradesh by expanding and improving family planning (FP) services. To achieve this, the IFPS project will support service innovations in the public and nongovernmental sectors and through contraceptive social marketing mechanisms. The Baseline Survey in Uttar Pradesh (BSUP) is being undertaken as one important component of the IFPS project. The BSUP is designed to provide information on fertility, FP, and maternal and child health care that will be helpful in monitoring and evaluating population and family welfare policies and programs. SIFPSA has designated the Population Council as the nodal organization responsible for providing technical guidance for the survey. The Indian Institute of Health Management Research, Jaipur, will conduct the survey in the district of Nainital.

Full text
Abstract:
PCI Standard Design Practice Ref ACI-318-11 Precast and prestressed concrete structures have provided decades of satisfactory performance. This performance is the result of the practices reported herein, conformance with ACI 318-11 Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete and Commentary, incorporation of industry specific research programs and a plant certification program that provides an industrywide quality control system beyond that found in on-site construction. Section 1.4 of the ACI 318-11 specifically allows variances when the adequacy of which has been shown by successful use or by analysis or test. Suggested changes to code provisions resulting from experience, analysis or testing can provide a point for discussion with building officials for acceptance of revised provisions within the guidance and scope of Section 1.4 of ACI 318-11. This list of provisions is based on ACI 318-11, and the numbers refer to sections in that document and are presented in numerical order. For notation used within this document refer to the notation used in Chapter 2 of ACI 318-11. Excerpts from ACI 318-11 are reprinted here with permission by the American Concrete Institute, Farmington Hills, Michigan.
