Family Caregiver Burden

We examined the association between family caregiver burden and subjective well-being with social participation’s moderating effect among Japanese adults. Data were obtained from a cross-sectional survey by the Japan Multi-Institutional Collaborative Cohort Study in the Okazaki area between 2013 and 2017. Study participants included 5321 adults who visited the Public Health Center for annual health check-ups and answered a questionnaire regarding health status and lifestyle. Subjective well-being was assessed by a single item, out of 10 points, and analyzed with multivariable linear regression analysis models by subjective family caregiver burden (“none”, “mild”, “severe”), stratified by gender. Ultimately, 2857 men and 2223 women were included. Mean participant age (standard deviation) in years was 64.7 (10.4) for men and 61.3 (10.0) for women. Multivariable analysis revealed that, among women, higher caregiver burden was inversely associated with subjective well-being (p for trend < 0.001), and the interaction of severe caregiver burden and social participation on subjective well-being was positive and significant (p for interaction < 0.05). High family caregiver burden was inversely associated with subjective well-being among Japanese women, but moderated by the caregiver’s social participation, suggesting the importance of community development that enables family caregivers’ social participation to protect their subjective well-being.

Keselamatan mudah alih, atau lebih khusus keselamatan peranti mudah alih, menjadi semakin penting dalam pengkomputeran mudah alih untuk literasi digital. Literasi digital adalah kumpulan kecekapan yang diperlukan untuk penyertaan penuh dalam pengetahuan masyarakat. Ini merangkumi pengetahuan, kemahiran, dan tingkah laku yang melibatkan penggunaan alat digital yang berkesan seperti telefon pintar, tablet, komputer riba untuk tujuan komunikasi, ekspresi, kolaborasi dan sokongan. Yang menjadi perhatian utama ialah keselamatan institusi pengajian tinggi kini disimpan di telefon pintar. Seiring dengan perkembangan ini muncul sejumlah masalah keselamatan yang mempengaruhi peranti mudah alih. Peluang untuk memiliki peranti kecil dan kuat yang dihubungkan dengan internet membolehkan komunikasi berlaku dari mana sahaja di institusi pengajian tinggi. Di institusi pengajian tinggi, yang telah melekatkan telefon pintar peribadi mereka ke rangkaian institusi telah mengetahui cara mudah untuk melakukannya. Secara khusus, ada beberapa kes di mana pelajar telah membenarkan capaian peranti mudah alih peribadinya ke rangkaian institusi pengajian tinggi. Walau bagaimanapun, pentadbir sistem menghantar arahan jarak jauh ke peranti dan memerintahkannya untuk menyimpan semua data agar tidak jatuh ke tangan yang salah. Oleh itu kini wujud istilah rooting pada peranti Android. Hal merujuk kepada proses mendapatkan akses root ke peranti. Biasanya, ini melibatkan aplikasi atau skrip yang memberikan akses root kepada pengguna. Setelah akses diberikan, pengguna di institusi pengajian tinggi, dapat melakukan apa sahaja yang diinginkan tanpa sekatan. Namun, salah satu kelemahan proses ini adalah peranti ini terdedah kepada bahaya yang lebih besar dari ancaman luaran. Justeru artikel ini memberi tumpuan kepada masalah keselamatan peranti mudah alih dalam dunia digital di institusi pengajian tinggi. Hal ini bertujuan supaya pelajar institusi memiliki kebolehan kritis dan kreatif ketika melayari media massa, budaya popular dan media digital. Oleh kerana media digital menggunakan telefon pintar untuk maklumat dan artikel ini juga merujuk cara menjaga keselamatan data telefon pintar ini memandangkan kadar capaian maklumat yang semakin kerap dan cepat.   Mobile security, or more specifically mobile device security, has become increasingly important in mobile computing for digital literacy. Digital literacy is the set of competencies required for full participation in knowledge of society. It includes knowledge, skills, and behaviors involving the effective use of digital devices such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops for purposes of communication, expression, collaboration and advocacy. Of particular concern is the security of higher learning institution is now stored on smartphones. Along with this expansion came a number of security issues to affect mobile devices. A chance to have a tiny and powerful device that is Internet linked allows communication from anywhere in the higher learning institution. In higher learning institution, those who have attached their personal smartphones to institutional network would have found out the easy way of doing so. Specifically, there have been a handful of cases where learners who attached their own personal devices to a higher learning institutional network. However, a system administrator sent out a remote command to the device and instructed it to store itself of all data to keep it from falling in the wrong hands. Hence in Android device having heard the term of rooting the device. Concisely, this refers to undertaking a process of gaining root access to a device. Typically, this involves running an application or script that grants root access to the user. Once access is granted, the user in the higher learning institution can do pretty much whatever the institution want on the system without restriction. However, one of the downsides of this process is that the device is now exposed to greater danger from external threats as well. Moreover, this article focuses on mobile device security issues in digital literacy in higher learning institution. It is about developing institutional learners to critical and creative abilities when it comes to mass media, popular culture and digital media. Since digital media is using smartphone for store information and article also referring how to maintain security of these smartphone data.

AbstractThe adverse impact of caregiving on caregivers’ mental health and the positive impact of social participation (SP) on health are both well understood. This study examined the moderating effect of SP on the association between family caregiving and caregivers’ psychological distress (PD). We used longitudinal data from 27,869 individuals born between 1946 and 1955 collected from a 14-wave nationwide survey, which was conducted from 2005 to 2018. We estimated dynamic panel data models, which could control for an individual’s time-invariant attributes in a dynamic framework, to examine how SP moderated the association between informal caregiving and a caregiver’s PD (defined by a Kessler score of 13 or higher). We observed that the onset of caregiving increased the probability of PD by 2.1% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.5%–2.6%) and 1.0% (95% CI: 0.5%–1.6%) for women and men, respectively, compared to 3.4% and 2.8% as the prevalence of PD for women and men, respectively. SP moderated the association between caregiving and a caregiver’s PD by 55.8% (95% CI: 31.9%–79.8%) and 73.5% (95% CI: 36.1%–110.9%) for women and men, respectively. In addition, the moderating effect of SP on a caregiver’s PD increased as the caregiver’s age advanced especially in women. These results suggest the need to keep family caregivers from being socially isolated, especially as they get older.
