The Community Coalition Action Theory (CCAT) blends practice wisdom with empirical data to explain how community coalitions achieve community change and community capacity outcomes. The current study uses data from an evaluation of 20 California Healthy Cities and Communities coalitions to test relationships between coalition factors and outcomes as predicted by CCAT in two stages of coalition development. Data are from two rounds of coalition member surveys, interviews with local coalition coordinators, and semiannual progress reports. Consistent with CCAT predictions and prior research, shared decision making and leadership were correlated with participation; staff competence, task focus, and cohesion were correlated with member satisfaction. Coalition size was associated with participation and dollars leveraged. Also, consistent with CCAT, diversity of funding sources was associated with new leadership opportunities and program expansion; dollars leveraged was correlated with new leadership opportunities and new partners. Findings provide preliminary support for many, but not all, of the relationships predicted by CCAT.

Health Education And Promotion

It’s less possible to promote health behaviors without theory-based studies and it’s better to use health education and promotion theories for more effective health education and promotion interventions. Theories are able to change the behavior of individuals at the personal, interpersonal, organizational, social, and policymaking levels. Organizations play an important role in the daily life of people, and any changes in these organizations can affect people's health. The Community Coalition Action Theory (CCAT) is a form of theories for the change across organizations. A community coalition is a structured arrangement where all members can work together on a common goal and objective. The current article focuses on applications of the CCAT to provide a framework for the development of activities and interventions related to confronting Covid-19. Forming a coalition is very significant and can increase the effectiveness of interventional programs. CCAT is one of the best practices that can be achieved through joint activities of multiple organizations that lead to improved health behaviors

Abstract Objectives The objective of this study was to develop snack bar formulation made from Beetroot Flour and analyzed the nutrition contain. Methods This study used the experimental design. The snackbar was carried out into two stages, first stage to determine the best formula without adding beetroot flour and the second stage, with the addition of beetroot flour at the following amounts: 40 g (F1), 50 g (F2), and 60 g (F3). Nutrition contain of all of the formula was analyzed. Results Magnesium (Mg) contain of a single portion (100 g) of F1 was 101,4 mg (44% provided Mg from the RDA of adolescent girl), F2 was 113,3 mg (49,2% provided Mg from the RDA of adolescent girl), and F3 was 138,2 mg (60% provided Mg from the RDA of adolescent girl). Magnesium is important to produce serotonin and dopamine hormone that can help relieve of premenstrual syndrome. Conclusions Beetroot flour could be used to improve nutrient profile of snack bars, which could be used to fulfill the nutrient needs of adolescents and could help relieve the symptoms of pre-menstrual syndrom. Funding Sources This study was funded by Lembaga Penelitian dan Pengabdian Masyarakat Universitas Al Azhar Indonesia (LP2M UAI).

Research has found that collaboration is important for family service agencies, and community coalition building is a common form of collaboration. Guided by Community Coalition Action Theory, this article analyzes a community coalition convening around health and housing in a resource-challenged, large Midwestern metropolitan area. Implications for practice are discussed, describing initial lessons learned from the coalition kick-off event for community coalition convening. Using theory to anticipate coalition challenges and barriers, looking beyond simple meeting agenda objectives to identify specific coalition tactics, and asking hard questions about coalition capacity at kick-off are ways to strengthen health and housing interventions within family-based services.

Empowerment for orphan and poor students in Islamic Boarding School Hidayatulah at Bojongilir, Bogor needs to be done by Community Engagement team of Perbanas Institute. This effort has been done by fundraising and e-commerce training in order to create financial independence of the boarding school. The methode for the fundraising is as follows: 1). Collect data on the needs of boarding schools and the students, namely personal computers (PCs) and 200 portable tables for learning process. 2).Look for funding sources from outside the campus to improve the procurement of these stuffs. 3). Submit the community engagement proposals to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) of PT Waskita Karya and HIbah Ristek Dikti Program 2018. While provide assistance in e-commerce training is to support entrepreneurial activities, such as raising patin/ tilapia/catfish and making dried potatoes in packs in order to be marketed in modern way. The training was given in two stages with material themes “Digital Entrepreneur in the Industrial Age 4.0 For Students” and “How to Transact in E-commerce”. Before and after training the participants were given a test to determine the level of knowledge about e-commerce. At the end of the training a satisfaction survey was conducted on the training for the participants. This training has a positive impact on increasing the digital marketing motivation, knowledge and skills of the students.

Reattachment to work (i.e., rebuilding a mental connection to work) before actually starting work is important for work engagement during the day. Building on motivated action theory, this study examines anticipated task focus, positive affect, and job resources (job control and social support) as mediators that translate reattachment in the morning into work engagement during the day. We collected daily-survey data from 151 employees (total of 620 days) and analyzed these data with a multilevel path model. We found that day-level reattachment to work in the morning predicted anticipated task focus, positive affect, social support, and job control through goal activation and that anticipated task focus, positive affect, social support, and job control predicted work engagement during the day. This study points to the important role of reattachment to work in employee experiences and behaviors throughout the workday and specifically highlights the benefits of such initial mental boundary crossing between life domains for employee engagement at work.

Cell Line Generation

B-lymphocytes normally synthesize small amounts of immunoglobulin, some of which is incorporated into the cell membrane where it serves as receptor of antigen. These cells, on contact with specific antigen, proliferate and differentiate to plasma cells which synthesize and secrete large quantities of immunoglobulin. The two stages of differentiation of this cell line (generation of B-lymphocytes and antigen-driven maturation to plasma cells) are clearly separable during ontogeny and in some immune deficiency diseases. The present report describes morphologic aberrations of B-lymphocytes in two diseases in which second stage differentiation is defective.
