The Development of an Experience Measure for an Online Digital Mental Health Community

Online digital mental health communities can contribute to users’ mental health positively and negatively. Yet the measurement of outcomes and impact relating to digital mental health communities is difficult to capture. In this paper we demonstrate the development of an online experience measure for a specific children and young people’s community inside a digital mental health service. The development is informed by three phases: (i) item reduction through Estimate-Talk-Estimate modified Delphi methods, (ii) user testing with participatory action research and (iii) a pilot within the digital service community to explore its use. Rounds of experts talks help to reduce the items. User experience workshops helped to inform the usability and appearance, wording, and purpose of the measure. Finally, the pilot results highlight completion rates, difference in scores for age and community roles and a preference to ‘relate to others’; as a mechanism of support. Outcomes frequently selected in the measure show the importance of certain aspects of the community, such as safety, connection, and non-judgment previously highlighted in the literature. Self-reported helpfulness scales like this one could be used as indicators of meaningful engagement within the community and its content but further research is required to ascertain its acceptability and validity. Phased approaches involving stakeholders and participatory action research enhances the development of digitally enabled measurement tools.

Community Roles tokoh Perempuan pada Era Perang Dunia II dalam Anime Kono Sekai no Katasumi ni karya Sunao Katabuchi

This study aims to know how Community Roles that are played by the women during World War II, in the anime entitled Kono Sekai no Katasumi ni by Sunao Katabuchi. The analysis was done by using the Gender Analysis Frameworks by Caroline Moser (1993). The data were collected by watching the anime and applied the note taking technique. The qualitative analysis of the data shows that women character in the anime was very active in their community. They join the organization namely Dai Nippon Fujinkai and all the activities in their neigbourhood. Those activities show their community roles.

Peran Komunikasi dalam Implementasi Kebijakan Pelacakan Kontak Erat dan Pemantauan Isolasi Mandiri Penderita Covid-19 Oleh Puskesmas di Kota Palembang

Carrying out close contact tracing and immediately isolating cases and contacts, is the chosen mitigation to offset the economic and social impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. This analysis of the implementation of the close contact tracing policy and monitoring of self-isolation is an important step for input from various parties to determine better policies in the future so that the pandemic can end soon. So good communication is needed between the parties involved in implementing the policy. This study is a qualitative research with a descriptive design that aims to determine the role of communication in the implementation of close contact tracing policies and self-isolation monitoring by the comunnity health centers in Palembang City 2020 which can be seen from the transmission, clarity and consistency variables using Edward III Theory. Methods of collecting data were in-depth interviews, observation and document review. The results of the study found that the lack of socialization carried out related to guidelines for prevention and contact tracing and self-isolation of COVID-19 sufferers, the ineffectiveness of socialization of guidelines carried out virtually, as well as inconsistencies in contact tracing due to several factors, firstly patient dishonesty, community stigma, data late case release, unclear address/telephone number, uncooperative patient and changes in guidelines that occurred from revision 4 to revision 5. Suggestions from this study are to evaluate the socialization of guidelines, increase knowledge and abilities of implementors, improve coordination and cooperation of implementers, empowerment of community roles so as to reduce stigma in society.

Evaluasi Peran Masyarakat Dalam Pengelolaan Sampah di Desa Wisata Apung Kampung Malahing Kota Bontang

Community participation in waste management is an important aspect in creating a clean and healthy environment by evaluating several aspects. This study aims to determine waste management and the constraints faced by the community's role in managing waste on the sea which is reviewed from legal and regulatory aspects. institutional, operational, financing, and the role of the community in managing waste. This research is a qualitative descriptive study, using observation, interview, and documentation techniques as data collection techniques. Determination of research subjects using purposive sampling. The results show that there are no legal aspects that apply, financing aspects, institutional aspects and operational aspects have been carried out quite well, but in the aspect of community roles it is still not implemented well enough because of several obstacles related to work and education level. Evaluation using the Miles and Humberman Analysis Technique occurs grouping in every aspect. Suggestions for the people of Malahing Village to be more concerned about their environment, take part in managing waste, and be able to innovate, training on managing household waste into compost, and so on.

COMMIT: Consideration of metabolite leakage and community composition improves microbial community models

Composition and functions of microbial communities affect important traits in diverse hosts, from crops to humans. Yet, mechanistic understanding of how metabolism of individual microbes is affected by the community composition and metabolite leakage is lacking. Here, we first show that the consensus of automatically generated metabolic models improves the quality of the draft models, measured by the genomic evidence for considered enzymatic reactions. We then devise an approach for gap filling, termed COMMIT, that considers exchangeable metabolites based on their permeability and the composition of the community. By applying COMMIT with two soil communities from the Arabidopsis thaliana culture collection, we could significantly reduce the gap-filling solution in comparison to filling gaps in individual models. Inspection of the metabolic interactions in the soil communities allows us to identify microbes with community roles of helpers and beneficiaries. Therefore, COMMIT offers a versatile automated solution for large-scale modelling of microbial communities for diverse biotechnological applications.

A Basic Income For All? Understanding the Basic Income Concept From the Perspectives of Community-Based Advocates

Basic income is a policy concept that has garnered considerable research attention over the past decade. However, very few studies have explored the concept from the perspectives of frontline service providers and anti-poverty activists. Grounded in structural social work and intersectionality theories, this qualitative study centres the insights of six individuals working and organizing in various community roles, including frontline social workers and grassroots anti-poverty activists. The findings from this study, gathered through a focus group, suggest that community responders to poverty are deeply unhappy with the current welfare state, possess mixed feelings about the possibilities of a basic income strategy, and are highly skeptical about the ethical implications and political motivations behind the Ontario government’s basic income pilot study. It is hoped that the findings from this research will complicate and deepen perspectives on a basic income while simultaneously contributing to the momentum behind this emerging policy intervention.
