Abstract:

AbstractThe Covid 19 pandemic happened in arround the world include in Indonesia. It has impacts in many fileds. This research developed to solve the Covid 19 problem. This research requires complex variables based on the varying data in the field. Based on surveys and data, it found that there are 65% of personals know the status of their area in danger zone or safe zone for Covid 19. However, there are still many personals ignore the zone status that has been informed previously by the relevant goverment. The purpose of this study is to determine personal vulnerability to Covid-19 based on zones or regions. Moreover, prediction of vulnerability based on personal distance, the number of personal confirm Covid-19 arround the areas, and other variables such as immunity, and the accuracy of GPS applications. The methods is carried out by creating a vulnerabelity prediction model through GPS tracking based on the position or residence, then create to graph model in shortest path. Initial predictions are given a minimum distance between the personal and individuals confirms is one meter. The result of this research is percentage of personal vulnerability on the number of confirmed Covid 19 detections based on zones or regions. The prediction includes three models such as susceptible, quite susceptible, and safe. Personal susceptible in the percentage arround 90%-100%, quite susceptible in the percentage 75%-90%, and consideres safe in less that 75%.Keywords: prediction, vulnerability, graph

Abstract:

This research establishes that the consumers perceived vulnerability to a threat is a relevant variable that modifies the preference for domestic origin products. Many times, consumers balance their personal well-being with their sense of in-group identity, particularly when their preference for domestic products above foreign ones is expected. This study demonstrates that perceived vulnerability to a threat such as damaging one’s personal well-being is a relevant factor when consumers express their preference for domestic products.

Abstract:

An exploratory study of 138 young adults examined the relationship between personal vulnerability and attitudes toward intrusive direct marketing practices. Analyses indicated that perceived inability to prevent direct marketers from obtaining and using personal information was related to negative attitudes toward such solicitations. Resentment about intrusive marketing was positively related to the perceived need to protect vulnerable populations from such tactics.

Abstract:

Interviews with children aged from 5 to 8 highlighted their vulnerability to molestation. This vulnerability is based in part on children's developmental levels. These include a limited capacity for abstract thought which renders some well intentioned attempts at child protection ineffective. Designers need to consider these developmental limitations when they develop child protection programs. Common parenting practices are also implicated in the perpetuation of children's vulnerability. These practices make it unlikely that a child would have the confidence to report adult-initiated sexual misbehaviour to a parent. Education is necessary to inform parents about ways in which they can reduce children's vulnerability by changing their own practices.

Abstract:

Although distinct vicarious embarrassability (VE) and personal embarrassability (PE) dimensions have emerged in factor analytic research, few studies have compared theoretically relevant correlates to explore potential differences in underlying mechanisms. The current study sought to determine whether PE was best accounted for by a social evaluation model, and VE by emotional empathy. Four fifty three undergraduates completed embarrassability, emotional empathy, and social evaluation trait measures. Factor analysis with oblique rotation produced two correlated (r = .37) PE and VE factors. Multiple regression did not provide absolute support for two distinct underlying models, with fear of negative evaluation and emotional empathy significant predictors of both embarrassability factors. However, public self-consciousness and perceived social competence were predictive only of PE. These results suggest common mechanisms could underlie PE and VE, but that a negative perception and heightened awareness of one’s social image could confer a unique vulnerability to PE.

Abstract:

In this essay I present an overview of the problem of climate change, with attention to issues of interest to feminists, such as the differential responsibilities of nations and the disproportionate “vulnerabilities” of females, people of color, and the economically disadvantaged in relation to climate change. I agree with others that justice requires governments, corporations, and individuals to take full responsibility for histories of pollution, and for present and future greenhouse gas emissions. Nonetheless I worry that an overemphasis on household and personal‐sphere fossil fuel emissions distracts from attention to higher‐level corporate and governmental responsibilities for addressing the problem of climate change. I argue that more attention should be placed on the higher‐level responsibilities of corporations and governments, and I discuss how individuals might more effectively take responsibility for addressing global climate change, especially when corporations and governments refuse to do so.

Abstract:

The death of a child is the most devastating event in a parent's life. Yet, every day in the United States, hundreds of parents hear some variation of the words, “we did everything possible; but nothing worked; I am truly sorry; your child is dead.” When a murderer is the causal agent of a child's death, the parent's experience becomes multilayered. Yet, the literature lacks insight into how parents act and react during such a crisis. What coping strategies do parents employ to deflect seemingly innocuous platitudes, experience the emotional pain, to live a private tragedy in the public's eye? Through public discourse, addressing such issues can be cathartic; it can expose a certain vulnerability of the narrator; it evokes myriad images for others.

Abstract:

IntroductionBurnout is a condition characterized by emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and reduced personal accomplishment, resulting from the inability to cope with chronic job stress. Healthcare providers at pediatric oncology units, who care for children with life-threatening illnesses, are exposure to high levels of stress, which increases the risk for developing burnout, with consequences in their personal health and quality of patient care.ObjectiveTo assess the prevalence and sources of burnout on a multidisciplinary team of a pediatric oncology unit.MethodsParticipants were a convenience sample of 16 pediatric oncology professionals, including medical, nursing, and related health staff from a Portuguese pediatric oncology center. Participants completed the Portuguese version of the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory.ResultsAll three subscales that compose this Inventory were found to have burnout below normal levels (cut-off ≥ 50 points). However, personal and work-related subscales showed mean values in the superior limit of normality (48 ± 14, 18 points and 49, 48 ± 12, 23 points, respectively). Nevertheless, when analyzed the patient-related subscale, we found low levels of burnout in the majority of responders. These findings are similar to the existing literature, which suggests that patient care and interactions with children are the least stressful aspect of working in this specialty.ConclusionDespite the high levels of stress exposure in pediatric oncology units, results suggest that the majority of professionals are not actually in burnout. However, the obtained values advice for the need of prevention and workplace approaches to staff's well-being and stress reduction, in order to avoid burnout development.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

Abstract:

This study used exploratory structural equation modeling and confirmatory factor analysis to examine the construct validity of the Chinese version of Stress Overload Scale-Short, which included personal vulnerability and event load. The participants included 629 community residents and 495 university students. The results indicated a better goodness-of-fit using exploratory structural equation modeling compared with confirmatory factor analysis. The Stress Overload Scale-Short performed well in distinguishing individuals with more negative emotion symptoms from the general population. A moderation analysis demonstrated that social support moderates the effect of personal vulnerability on negative emotion symptoms. These results facilitated the application of Stress Overload Scale-Short in the current population.

Abstract:

Baker, Gentry, and Rittenburg’s (2005) model of consumer vulnerability outlines the personal, social, and structural characteristics that frame consumers’ experiences of vulnerability in the marketplace. Later applications and enhancements have expanded consumer vulnerability theory. While the theory has been applied in numerous settings, to date it has not been used to examine the ways that gender identity may intersect with market factors to produce vulnerability. Application in this setting also allows for the integration of various model enhancements, and the examination of vulnerability using a more complete formulation of the theory. Based on in-depth qualitative interviews and collages, along with examples from current marketing practice, our research shows consumer vulnerability to be a useful lens for understanding gender variant consumers’ experiences and the ways in which marketing systems can be engaged to reshape those experiences.

Abstract:

At the same time as failures to adequately protect ‘the most vulnerable’ seem to have become a pervasive feature of the political landscape, policies which seek to address vulnerability have proliferated. Government actors, public officers, researchers, media commentators, charities and members of the public alike use vulnerability to articulate an array of personal and political troubles, yet alongside this seemingly shared narrative a multitude of ideologically inclined assumptions and agendas operate by stealth. How vulnerability is drawn upon to frame social issues reworks and reconfigures long-running contestations related to moral dimensions of the welfare subject, understandings of the ‘self’ and wider beliefs about human behaviour. At a time when the pressures of contemporary life increasingly find release through aggression against the socially marginalised (see Wacquant, 2009; Harrison and Sanders, 2014; Atkinson, 2015), vulnerability has become a key concept for social policy research. As I have argued elsewhere, the concept of vulnerability appears to be something of a zeitgeist or ‘spirit of the time’ (Brown, 2014a, 2014b,2015), extending into and shaping responses to a vast array of policy matters.

Collaborative work partnerships bring joy and meaning to one’s work. Additionally, outcomes and productivity from the partnership are often richer and more expansive, contributing more to the system and more to the profession than individuals alone. Using stories and examples from their 12-year work relationship, the authors will explore elements that contribute to successful collaboration. This article will highlight the importance of embracing vulnerability as a preparatory step to creating collaborative partnerships and will discuss a model to understand how a partnership can advance the relationship to a higher level. Finally, it will examine how relational coordination in work settings can support productive collaboration.

Abstract:

Organizations expect their employees to connect securely to the organization's computer systems. Often these employees use their personal computers to access the organization's networks. This research explores whether these same employees apply protective security measures to their personal computers. Perhaps these employees behave riskily based on their optimistic bias. Results indicate that while cyber optimistic bias and perceived vulnerability influence individuals to apply more protective security measures, the users still experienced security incidents. Thus, organization are vulnerable to cyber-attacks if they are allowing employees to use personal computers to access these databases.

Abstract:

This paper reviews the results of research conducted with African American and Puerto Rican emerging adults between the ages of 18 and 25 whose life experiences increase vulnerability to drug use and pose some significant challenges in achieving milestones widely recognized as important in achieving adult status. Literature on drug use in adolescence suggests that personal vulnerability accounts for most experimental and problem drug use. Included in the vulnerability construct are religiosity, perceived risk, social influence, drug access, social norms, and social risk defined primarily as exposure to various forms of violence. This study shows that personal vulnerability explains only some of the variance in use and predicts variance differently with respect to different specific drugs and polydrug use. Further, it argues that additional contextual factors including social networks, party and club attendance, and drug selling activities, all typical of emerging adulthood and urban lifestyle, are also important factors in enhancing potential for accelerated drug use during this developmental period. Finally, it notes that the consequences of these activities have implications for further economic and social marginalization of urban, multiethnic low income emerging adults.

More research is needed on how personal financial behavior change in relation to digital technology, the vulnerability of children and adolescents, and the links between changes in credit behavior and indebtedness. Financial counseling could benefit from an awareness of young adults vulnerability as digital consumers and an extended perception of financial literacy that encompasses requirements of digital society.

LANGUAGE NOTE | Document text in Chinese; abstract in English only.In his paper, Professor Lo Ping Cheung complains that bioethics is under the undue influence of liberal individualism. He argues that in prioritizing individual autonomy, the United Nations’ “Universal Declaration on Bioethics and Human Rights” (2005) and the International Bioethics Committee’s “Proposed Outline for a Report on Respect for Human Vulnerability and Personal Integrity” (2009) not only allow but also advocate egoistic behavior. In contrast to Lo’s view, in advocating family co-determinism in healthcare, Confucian bioethics is in a better position to provide primary protection to the vulnerable.To defend the Declaration (2005) I draw on the IBC Report (2011) and argue that in enshrining the principle of respect for human vulnerability and personal integrity as a universal value in bioethics, the Declaration seeks to prompt greater solidity between moral strangers and different stakeholders in healthcare and research and the application of emerging technologies in the biomedical sciences. I also argue that the family may fail to protect “the vulnerable,” as vulnerability is a human condition and it occurs in the context of healthcare as a result of personal disability, in addition to environmental burdens and social injustice.DOWNLOAD HISTORY | This article has been downloaded 87 times in Digital Commons before migrating into this platform.

Abstract:

This study aimed to identify aspects that potentially increase the vulnerability of nursing workers to tuberculosis, through the verification of personal life, work and disease knowledge indexes. The sample is composed of 81 nursing workers involved with assistance in the night and day shifts at USP Teaching Hospital, who answered a questionnaire about life and work habits. The sample aggregated the indexes that increase vulnerability to tuberculosis: long professional experience in hospitals and work load longer than 12 hours. Data show that nursing auxiliaries and workers from the night shift in general have a higher number of vulnerability indexes.

Abstract:

Vulnerability to stress as a function of age, sex, health locus of control, hardiness and Type A behavior was examined by multiple regression analysis of scores from scales completed by 283 university students. Only age and hardiness contributed significantly but minimally to variance in vulnerability. Young and hardy students had better health habits than older or less hardy ones. The means and standard deviations of scores on the vulnerability and personality type scales were very low. Scales appropriate for the New Zealand population need to be developed and standardized to provide reliable measures of personal variables associated with stress.

Abstract:

The presence of vulnerabilities in the system of organization personnel security ensuring, increases the probability of appearance and implementation of personnel threats, which entails the need for their identification and assessment. The article highlights the variety of organization personnel security vulnerabilities: personnel vulnerabilities (vulnerabilities of personal qualities and external environment) and organization vulnerabilities. As an evaluation tool of personal qualities vulnerabilities we propose to use a secure employee profile, which includes such characteristics as: employee knowledge and understanding of regulations and procedures of personnel security ensuring, professional, moral and psychological reliability, absence of various addictions, as well as an increased vulnerability to the external environment. This study is based on materials of an expert survey. The agreement among the experts verified using the Kendall’s W. The analysis resulted in a qualitative profile characteristic, comprising the description of the qualities, character traits, behavioral features of a secure employee.

Abstract:

Las 100 Reglas de Brasilia incluyen, a las personas con discapacidad, dentro de los colectivos de personas que sufren la denegación del acceso a la justicia, a raíz de su situación de vulnerabilidad. Ellas, no son vulnerables a raíz de sus limitaciones personales, sino que son situadas en “condición o situación de vulnerabilidad”, a raíz de la hostilidad actitudinal y física de la sociedad, que no es capaz de incluir y prever las necesidades derivadas de su diversidad en el diseño de una sociedad verdaderamente inclusiva. En este marco, nos preguntamos ¿qué rol debe cumplir el Poder Judicial frente a los obstáculos que se le presenta a una persona con discapacidad en el ejercicio de sus derechos? The 100 Brasilia Rules include, for people with disabilities, among the groups of people who suffer denial of access to justice, as a result of their situation of vulnerability. They are not vulnerable as a consequence of their personal limitations, but because they are placed in a "condition or situation of vulnerability", as a result of the attitudinal and physical hostility of society, which is unable to include and anticipate the needs derived from their diversity in the design of a truly inclusive society. In this context, we ask ourselves what role should courts play in face of the obstacles that a person with special needs have in the exercise of their rights?

Abstract:

Jonathan Lear, inRadical hope: Ethics in the face of cultural devastation,movingly writes: ‘We seem to be aware of a shared vulnerability that we cannot quite name … It is as though, without our insistence that our outlook is correct, the outlook itself might collapse’. It is this ‘vulnerability’ and ‘anxiety of collapse’ that has led to what has been called in Australia the ‘cult of forgetfulness’ and the ‘terror of history’ which refers to the silence that surrounded the Stolen Generations and still surrounds the psychic distress of our indigenous first peoples. This article explores Lear's statement in terms of the psychic pain of a culture founded upon waves of migration and traumatic dispossession to think about the question ‘What does it mean to live here?’ And what can that teach us about the formation of identity and cultural identity?

Abstract:

In a study conducted in 2008–2009, 25 employed homeless women in Calgary, Canada, were interviewed to gain a better understanding of their pathways from homelessness. The data analysis uncovered a mix of personal and societal issues to consider and provides a framework for understanding the complexity of sociocultural factors that contribute to the vulnerability of users of services. In combination, these many sociocultural factors affected the participants’ personal exit from homelessness. The role of service delivery organizations in helping to identify vulnerabilities experienced by service users and respond to these issues in practice will have an influence on resolving social issues like homelessness.

Abstract:

The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is used to synchronize clocks of various computer devices such as personal computers, tablets, and phones based their set time zones. The network of devices that use these NTP servers form a huge distributed network that attracted a number of attacks from late 2013 towards early 2014. This paper presents a hands-on test of the Distributed Reflection Denial of Service (DRDoS) attack by the monlist command, provides more vulnerability in the protocol, and offers mitigation to these vulnerabilities. A Kali Linux server was used to test the monlist command on its localhost. The results showed that a request with a size of 234 bytes got a response of 4,680 bytes. A busy NTP server can return up to 600 addresses which were theoretically calculated to return approximately 48 kilobytes in 100 packets. Consequently, this results in an amplification factor of 206×. The knowledge of the way the attack can be propagated was an important step in thwarting the attack and mitigating more such threats in the same protocol.

Abstract:

This work is directed to the Latin context and comprehend the psychodramatic theory presented by Jacob Levy Moreno as a pedagogic alternative in the development of a more solid and positive self-concept, as well as one of well-being and self-esteem, providing aids in overcoming social vulnerability and in the improvement of a healthier handling of relationships. Education related to everyday life becomes capable of influencing positively contexts and routines, using the personal and institutional freedom as devices to convert regulations ruling the Latin educational thinking. The indications are that the intervention through role-playing is effective in developing spontaneity and providing new spaces of reflection. Role-playing makes use of techniques, experiences and psychodramatic games, contributing in the production and construction of a spontaneity able to assure new spaces, behaviors and greater personal fulfillment, managing our own existence and resulting in better levels of health and well-being. The context of children and teenagers must be of an environment that discusses the self-esteem as a proposal of the pedagogic policy project, that generates values of kindness and principles of empathy and solidarity, making the school a "locus" of humanization and construction of consciousness, not only in its cognitive aspects, but also its ethic, moral and affective ones. When educators create affective bonds with the students, providing spaces of narrative and initiative, emerges a support propitious to better learning and satisfaction to both, increasing the behavioral and affective repertoire, spontaneity and making the living in a school environment more reinforcing.

Abstract:

Although participatory approaches are becoming more widespread, to date vulnerability assessments have largely been conducted by technocrats and have paid little attention to underlying causes of vulnerability, such as inequality and biased governance systems. Participatory assessments that recognise the social roots of vulnerability, however, are critical in helping individuals and institutions rethink their understanding of and responses to climate change impacts. This paper interrogates the contribution of Oxfam’s Vulnerability and Risk Assessment methodology to enabling transformation at both personal and institutional levels. Three Vulnerability and Risk Assessment exercises were conducted in Malawi, Botswana and Namibia by one or more of the authors in 2015 and 2016. Reflecting on these workshops, we explore the contribution that a process like the Vulnerability and Risk Assessment may bring to transformation. We conclude that these types of inclusive and representative participatory approaches can shift narratives and power dynamics, allow marginal voices to be heard, build cross–scalar relationships and enable the co-creation of solutions. Such approaches can play a key role in moving towards transformational thinking and action, especially in relation to climate change adaptation.

Abstract:

Social injustices, structural and personal crises as well as intensifying stress on some citizens seem increasing preoccupations in contemporary society and social policy. In this context, the concept of vulnerability has come to play a prominent role in academic, governmental and everyday accounts of the human condition. Policy makers and practitioners are now concerned with addressing vulnerability through an expansive range of interventions. As this special issue draws attention to, a vulnerability zeitgeist or ‘spirit of the time’ has been traced in contemporary welfare and disciplinary arrangements (Brown, 2014, 2015), which now informs a range of interventions and approaches to social problems, both in the UK and internationally. As prominent examples, ‘vulnerable’ people are legally entitled to ‘priority need’ in English social housing allocations (Carr and Hunter, 2008), vulnerable victims of crime are seen as requiring special responses in the UK criminal justice system (see Roulstoneet al., 2011; Walkgate, 2011), ‘vulnerable adults’ have designated ‘protections’ under British law (Dunnet al., 2008; Clough, 2014) and vulnerable migrants and refugees are increasingly prioritised within international immigration processes (Peroni and Timmer, 2013). There is a long tradition in the field of social policy of critiquing the implications of particular concepts as mechanisms of governance, from poverty (Townsend, 1979; Lister, 2004) and social exclusion (Levitas, 1998; Young 1999) to risk (Beck, 1992; Kemshall, 2002) and resilience (Ecclestone and Lewis, 2014; Wright, 2016). Yet while vulnerability seems to be one of the latest buzzwords gathering political and cultural momentum, critiques and empirical studies of how it is operationalised in different policy and practice contexts are less well elaborated.

Abstract:

IntroductionAlthough early interventions in individuals with bipolar disorder may reduce the associated personal and economic burden, the neurobiologic markers of enhanced risk are unknown.ObjectivesThe objective of this paper is to analyze the existence of neurobiological abnormalities in individuals with genetic risk for developing bipolar disorder (HR)Material and methodsA literature search was performed in the available scientific literature on the subject study object, by searching MEDLINE.ResultsThere were 37 studies included in this systematic review. The overall sample for the systematic review included 1258 controls and 996 HR individuals. No significant differences were detected between HR individuals and controls in the selected ROIs (regions of interest): striatum, amygdala, hippocampus, pituitary and frontal lobe. The HR group showed increased grey matter volume compared with patients with established bipolar disorder. The HR individuals showed increased neural response in the left superior frontal gyrus, medial frontal gyrus and left insula compared with controls. The overall results found no significant differences between individuals at high genetic risk and controls since the magnitude of the association as corresponds to an OR < 1.5 (low association)ConclusionThere is accumulating evidence for the existence of neurobiologic abnormalities in individuals at genetic risk for bipolar disorder at various scales of investigation. The etiopathogenesis of bipolar disorder will be better elucidated by future imaging studies investigating larger and more homogeneous samples and using longitudinal designs to dissect neurobiologic abnormalities that are underlying traits of the illness from those related to psychopathologic states, such as episodes of mood exacerbation or pharmacologic treatment.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

Abstract:

The article presents the results of the author’s empirical study of the age-related features of personal vulnerability to post-traumatic stress disorder of the victims suffered because of hostilities at the anti-terrorist operation area at the east of Ukraine. The article describes combatants’ and children’s personal traits changed as a result of their psychological trauma. The research includes a comparative psycho-diagnostic study of the combatants from the National Guard of Ukraine and children from the anti-terrorist operation area living now at the International Children’s Center «Artek» (Kyiv, Puscha-Voditsa). Differences in indicators of post-traumatic stress disorder of the combatants and the children have been revealed. Based on the correlation analysis, the age differences for the main psychological factors influencing vulnerability to destructive post-traumatic stress disorder have been determined. These personal determinants of the combatants and the children, who are victims of combat operations, help us to reveal the specifics of psychological prophylaxis taking into account age-related characteristics. The article shows there are a number of personal traits that require correction regardless of victims’ age-specific characteristics during psychological assistance and psychological rehabilitation. In addition, the article identifies the differences in personal characteristics of the affected combatants and children that should be taken into account at application of psycho-corrective measures based on clients’ age-related features.

Abstract:

Abstract Social distancing practices have been widely recommended to curb the COVID-19 pandemic. However, despite the medical consensus, many citizens have resisted adhering to and/or supporting its implementation. While this resistance may stem from the non-negligible personal economic costs of implementing social distancing, we argue that it may also reside in more fundamental differences in normative principles and belief systems, as reflected by political orientation. In a study conducted in Brazil, we test the relative importance of these explanations by examining whether and how support for social distancing varies according to self-identified political orientation and personal economic vulnerability. Results show that while economic vulnerability does not influence support for social distancing, conservatives are systematically less supportive of these practices than liberals. Discrepancies in sensitivity to threats to the economic system help explain the phenomenon.

Abstract:

Purpose – This intentionally short paper considers the wide range of interpretations of “vulnerability” since its 1979 adoption in disaster studies and proposes some necessary separation and re-categorisation of its current applications. Design/methodology/approach – The short history of the use of “vulnerability” in disasters studies is examined, contrasting present day contexts with those of its earliest use. Findings – “Vulnerability” is retained for its conventional place-based role, whilst superimposed social and political constraints are allocated to “susceptibility”, a term often used to define “vulnerability”; the two terms taking on equal mutually supportive roles. Separation of the two terms is supported by on example of their realities in war and post-war conditions, together with other examples not in contexts of war. Separation of terms suggests the issue of whether manifestation of vulnerability brings about additional personal susceptibility. Research limitations/implications – Implications are that both vulnerability and susceptibility may become better understood in disaster studies and its applications in the field. Practical implications – The media is seen as a possible eventual target for a published version of this short paper so that, in time, public as well as academic readership may be reached. Originality/value – Dissatisfaction occasionally expressed regarding uses of “vulnerability” has, so far, received little radical attention.
