The intervention aimed to teach six adaptive coping skills: harnessing strengths, managing physical reactions, managing thoughts and emotions, seeking solutions and support, identifying positive activities, and planning for the future. Pre- and post-intervention assessments were conducted with 163 Typhoon Haiyan survivors. Six-month follow-up assessments were obtained for 37 participants. Pre- and post-results showed improvements in participants’ self-efficacy on all six coping skills. The 6-month follow-up revealed significant improvements in four of the six coping skills.

This study analysed improved breadfruit (Treculia africana) awareness and adoption situation in Southeast Nigeria. It examined farmers’ budded breadfruit awareness and adoption status and their willingness to adopt the innovation. The study also identified the reasons why farmers do not adopt the crop’s new varieties. Two hundred and sixty respondents (260) spread in thirteen (13) communities of Anambra and Enugu States were randomly selected and interviewed using survey questionnaire. Data collected were verified in an in-depth interview (II) and two Focus group discussions (FGD). Data collected were analysed using descriptive statistics. The results show that: adoption status (20.47%) of its improved varieties was low while majority of the farmers were willing to adopt (88%). The study also found the major reasons why the farmers have not adopted the crop’s improved varieties. The result concludes that farmers are greatly in need of improved breadfruit varieties and that the crop requires favourable policy interventions. The paper recommends policy interventions for the crop’s conservation, awareness creation and provision of its improved varieties to farmers at affordable prices.

The Government

By 2012, the Government committed to provide incentive for hybrid car which able to consume 1 liter gasoline for 30 km trip. The incentive will be applied on two steps; the first step is on the import of completed built up (CBU) hybrid car and the second pace is on the assembling (manufacturing) of the hybrid car. Thus, this paper aims to study the possibility of providing incentive to hybrid car by imposing excise. The study will be mainly discussing the existing regulations on taxation on hybrid car and excise imposition in Indonesia, how the literature talks about excise, and how the incentive could be applied for hybrid car particularly. The data was collected from literature study, best practices, regulations review, focus group discussions and in-depth interview. The study found that excise has several merit to provide incentive for green product and hybrid car particularly. In order to minimize the potential extra taxation, the government may switch the Luxury Goods Tax (LGT) to excise. The incentive itself can be applied with discriminations on tariff with several purposes.

Abstract Background Medical schools increasingly incorporate teamwork in their curricula but medical students often have a negative perception of team projects, in particular when there is unequal participation. The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether a novel peer evaluation system improves teamwork contributions and reduces the risk of students “free loading”. Methods A cluster randomised controlled trial (RCT) with qualitative follow up enrolled 37 teams (n = 223 students). Participating teams were randomised to intervention group (19 teams) or control group (18 teams). The validated Comprehensive Assessment Team Member Effectiveness (CATME) tool was used as the outcome measure, and was completed at baseline (week 2) and at the end of the project (week 10). The team contribution subscale was the primary outcome, with other subscales as secondary outcomes. Six focus group discussions were held with students to capture the team’s experiences and perceptions of peer assessment and its effects on team work. Results The results of the RCT showed that there was no difference in team contribution, and other forms of team effectiveness, between intervention and control teams. The focus group discussions highlighted students’ negative attitudes, and lack of implementation of this transparent, points-based peer assessment system, out of fear of future consequences for relationships with peers. The need to assess peers in a transparent way to stimulate open discussion was perceived as threatening by participants. Teams suggested that other peer assessment systems could work such as rewarding additional or floating marks to high performing team members. Conclusions Other models of peer assessment need to be developed and tested that are non-threatening and that facilitate early acceptance of this mode of assessment.

Over Time

This article examines Land-Use (LU) dynamics in Lupila ward of Makete District in Southern Highlands of Tanzania. Specifically, the purpose of this study is to track LU change in Lupila ward from 1984 to 2014. Geographical information system (GIS) was employed to track LU/Land-Cover (LU/LC) change from 1984 to 2014. The questionnaire, Focus Group Discussions (FGDs), in-depth interview and field observations were used to supplement GIS. The data were collected from 87 respondents through questionnaire, FGDs and in-depth interview. Five LU/LC classes were identified, which are agriculture with scattered settlement, natural forests, woodlands, bushlands and grasslands. The identified LU/LC classes changed (increased and decreased) over time. Findings from respondents indicated that LU/LC change was mainly caused by the introduction of exotic tree species and decline in soil fertility. Based on the findings, the study recommends that it is imperative for the respective authority to introduce LU plan in each village so as to rescue resources like natural forests from being depleted.

Different Characteristics

Competent human resources such as doctors, nurses, pharmacists and others will improve the patient safety of a hospital. To assess the competence of hospital human resources can be measured by credentials. The credential process needs to be done to the pharmacist because although a pharmacist has received a pharmacist's diploma from an accredited college, the hospital remains obliged to perform competence verification through the credential process for the patient safety in the hospital and also considering the competence of a person influenced by several factors. The purpose of this study is to analyze the pharmacy credential system in Indonesia, especially the pharmacist credential system in the Yogyakarta area hospital. A qualitative study using in-depth interview and focus group discussions were conducted in three hospitals in Yogyakarta with different characteristics. In-depth interview was attended by 1 participant, consisting of the representatives of the professional organization. Every FGD was attended by 5-10 participants, consisting of pharmacists working in hospitals in Yogyakarta. The results of the in-depth interview and FGDs were analyzed with a qualitative approach. Currently there is no specific law enforcement regulation related to the credential system for pharmacists. The credential system becomes a hospital requirement after the accreditation and fulfillment of administrative requirements of accreditation become the main motivation held pharmacist credentials. Pharmacist has the needs of improving the credential system both in theory and application. The absence of legally enforceable regulations has resulted in many unfamiliarities. Expectations of pharmacist practitioners on the process of ideal pharmacist credentials are possible with supporting elements of professional organizations.
