Widening circles of care: Exploring self-care with activists using ecodramatherapy

Play Therapy for Preschool Children is a comprehensive sourcebook of play interventions for preventing and resolving the most common disorders of children aged 3-5 years old. Editor Charles Schaefer has gathered leading clinicians and researchers who present the research background alongside recent advances in the adaptation of play therapy for use with children who exhibit a variety of internalizing, externalizing, and developmental disorders, as well as prevention programs for at-risk children. Chapters use case illustrations to demonstrate interventions for mild to moderate behavior problems, insecurely-attached preschool children and children with posttraumatic issues, as well as how to use play therapy in conjunction with parent psychotherapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy. Contributors also discuss interventions for autistic and developmentally-delayed children, and the use of play interventions in classroom and parent-child settings. Throughout, chapter authors provide practical guidance for the full implementation of clinical ideas, from intake through termination. Clearly written and comprehensive in scope, Play Therapy for Preschool Children is a must-have for any student or mental health professional who seeks a full understanding of the latest theory and practice of play therapy with this uniquely vulnerable and often misunderstood population.

This chapter provides an overview of the current literature that integrates nature and nature-based therapies with the theoretical orientations of Learn to Play and Humanistic Play Therapy. The authors draw of the broader body of knowledge to collate and present data and use this to highlight the need for further research in the emerging field of nature play therapy. Evidencing the biophilic benefits of nature and summarizing the scope of nature play provides some guidance for play therapists wishing to utilize nature play therapy in their own practice. A case study will showcase how nature play therapy may move in and out of the traditional playroom, into the secret garden, cow paddock, chook pen, and ending with a therapeutic walk in the park.

The article identifies and mathematically substantiates vectors of reforming the financial monitoring system based on the synergistic approach in the cross-country context by developing scenarios by selecting internal and external factors that stimulate money laundering. The key external and internal factors of the money laundering process intensification are indicated. Competitive advantages of the anti-money laundering processes, the achievement of which is possible in terms of key external and internal factors for activation of money laundering process are formed. The relationship between the key internal and external factors of money laundering intensification and competitive advantages by building a binary characteristic matrix is formed. The synergy effect made by the mutual influence of simultaneously acting internal and external factors – a quantitative feature of the further strategy of the financial monitoring system reforming in terms of cross-country analysis is calculated. An economic-mathematical model for evaluating and interpreting strategy for improving the financial monitoring system in terms of cross-country context based on integer optimization is developed. In the article, there is calculation of the number of competitive advantages received by each observed country, without considering the possible synergy effect of mutual influence of simultaneously acting internal and external factors on each other. Moreover, there is quantitative assessment of the synergy effect made by the emergence of additional competitive advantages due to a certain combination of simultaneous influence made by external and internal factors of the money laundering intensification. The “ideal” situation of the possibility of gaining all possible competitive advantages in reforming the financial monitoring system in terms of cross-country context by overcoming internal and external factors stimulating the money laundering is studied. The results of the cross-country analysis form a basis for the further formalization of the limits for quantitative evaluation of the developed strategies through a uniform distribution.

Play therapy practice has developed in the UK over the past 25 years, with post-graduate level training established around 1993. Trained Play Therapists can apply for full membership of two regulating bodies, British Association of Play Therapists (BAPT) and Play Therapy UK (PTUK), who are currently seeking joint membership of the Health Professionals Council.

The purpose of this study was to survey members of the American School Counselor Association (ASCA), who were also elementary school counselors, about their perceived barriers to implementing play therapy and the methods used to overcome barriers (N 359). The results indicate that although elementary school counselors find play therapy to be helpful, many experience barriers related to training, administration, time, resources, and space. Methods used by school counselors to overcome barriers included training, educating faculty and administrators about play therapy, willingness to use personal funds to purchase play therapy materials, and creative use of time. The authors raise awareness of the need for formal training of elementary school counselors in play therapy. Practical implications and further research are also discussed.

This study aims to analyze the influence of internal factors, external factors, service quality, and financial aid on the success of the study of Bidikmisi scholarship recipients at Sultan Ageng Tirtayasa University. The study used descriptive quantitative method with a retrospective survey approach. The sample of this study was 247 graduates of Bidikmisi recipients at Sultan Ageng Tirtayasa University. The data analysis technique used is Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with LISREL software and Importance Performance Analysis (IPA). The results showed that internal, external, and service quality factors had a positive and significant relationship to the study's success, but financial aid did not affect the study's success. The indicator variable that best describes the internal factor is the academic self-concept, while for the external factor is the community environment, and for the service quality is responsiveness. Internal factors have the most significant influence on the success of the study of Bidikmisi recipients, while external factors have the least influence. It is advised to UNTIRTA to set their priority to increase the success of the study of Bidikmisi recipients by paying attention to internal factors, service quality, and external factors. Improving internal conditions is done by increasing academic interest and doing orientation at the beginning of the lecture. Improving the quality of service is done by improving the quality of information and the attitude of the manager's empathy, while improving external condition is done by completing studies with peer groups.

This study aims to examine whether the internal factor (cash flow) and external factor (leverage) affect firm value through profitability as a moderating variable in technology sector companies 2018-2021. The method used in this research was a deductive approach, quantitative types, and descriptive characteristics. The number of technology sector companies listed on the IDX is 27 companies which the amount of sample that is selected by using purposive sampling technique is 5 companies. The SmartPLS 3.0 application was used in this study to make it easier for researchers to analyze data. The conclusion obtained show that internal (cash flow) and external (leverage) factors do not affect firm value through profitability as a moderating variable. However, researchers can prove that external factor (leverage) can affect profitability which is evidenced by the p-values in the hypothesis test, namely 0,010<0,05 which indicates that external factor (leverage) have a significant effect on profitability.Keywords: Internal Factor (Cash Flow), External Factor (Leverage), Profitability, and Firm Value.

BackgroundPilot errors and preconditions are major concerns that affected by multiple factors physiologically, psychologically and psychosocially. This study aimed to analyse the correlation between the internal and external risk factors, and pilot preconditions in Indonesia.MethodsA cross-sectional study design with purposive sampling, directed to male pilots who had flight duty in the past seven days, underwent medical examination at the Aviation Medical Center, Jakarta, August 12–16, 2024. The data were collected through a self-report questionnaire, Trail Making Test A and B, laboratory tests (plasma lipid, fasting blood glucose), and physical measurements (height, weight, waist circumference, and blood pressure). The independent variables divided into internal factors (Age, Burnout, Metabolic Syndrome parameters); and external factors (Flight Time, Duty Time, Unscheduled Flight Duty, Number of Sectors, Sleep Duration). The dependent variables were pilot preconditions based on the Human Factor Analysis and Classification System (HFACS).ResultsA total of 122 participants participated and 28.7% had an Unscheduled Flight Duty in the last 30 days. Significant correlations were found between Adverse Mental State and HDL-Cholesterol (95%CI=1.52–5.80), Adverse Physiological State and Burnout [Personal (95%CI=0.005–0,04), Work-Related (95%CI=0.009–0.042)], Physical Mental Limitation and Fasting Blood Glucose (95%CI=(-0.479)–(-0.071)), Number of Sectors (95%CI=0.022–3.001). For Personal Readiness (PR), significant correlation was found between PR-Psychological Demand and Flight-Time One Year (95%CI=(0.000–0.001), Sleep Duration (95%CI=(-0.137)–(-0.013)), Waist Circumference (95%CI=(-0.014)–(-0.002)), PR-Social Support and Sleep Duration (95%IK=0.018–0.207), Client-Related Burnout (95%IK=(-0.011)–(-0.002)).ConclusionsThe internal factors that correlated with pilot preconditions in Indonesia were Waist Circumference, HDL-Cholesterol, Fasting Blood Glucose, Personal Burnout, Work, and Client-related burnout. External factors that correlated with pilot preconditions were the Number of Sectors, Flight-Time One Year and Sleep duration. These findings emphasize the need to address physical and mental health aspects of pilots to enhance aviation safety.

Gender effects on tail damage development in single- or mixed-sex groups of weaned piglets

A survey of authors of highly cited papers in 22 fields was undertaken in connection with a new bibliometric resource called Essential Science Indicators (ESI®). Authors were asked to give their opinions on why their papers are highly cited. They generally responded by describing specific internal, technical aspects of their work, relating them to external or social factors in their fields of study. These self-perceptions provide clues to the factors that lead to high citation rate, and the importance of the interaction between internal and external factors. Internal factors are revealed by the technical terminology used to describe the work, and how it is situated in the problem domain for the field. External factors are revealed by a different vocabulary describing how the work has been received within the field, or its implications for a wider audience. Each author's response regarding a highly cited work was analyzed on four dimensions: the author perception of its novelty, utility, significance, and interest. A co-occurrence analysis of the dimensions revealed that interest, the most socially based dimension, was most often paired with one of the other more internal dimensions, suggesting a synergy between internal and external factors.

The university library is an information center for students and lecturers in the academic community. In carrying out its role in providing services to users, libraries must be able to develop and improve the quality of libraries for users. To find out how far the library is going well or not, the library must evaluate it by analyzing the quality of the library using the SWOT method. This method can find out how big the role of the library in improving quality. This quality improvement plays a very important role for the library. So that the realization of a quality and standardized library in accordance with the standards of a university library. SWOT analysis includes internal and external factors which can measure the progress and age of a library. This study maps the external environmental factors and the library's internal environment, where the external factors in question are threats or opportunities that can be obtained by the current library for the development process. In addition, internal factors are the strengths and weaknesses of the library. Based on the SWOT matrix, internal strength factors have a high point with a value of 4 which is very good, for weaknesses it has a value of 3 which is good and external factors opportunity has a value of 4 which is very good and threats have a value of 3 which is good, thus it can be seen SWOT position in the growth quadrant on the internal factor rating of 3.5 and the growth quadrant position on the external factor rating of 3.5.

The aim of this study is to strengthen the unity, love, patience and trust between family members and to support parents to acquire effective parenting skills, based on Positive and Transcultural Psychotherapy in Play Therapy (Peseschkian, N., 2016b). For this purpose, the philosophy, principles, content and methodology of Positive and Transcultural Psychotherapy have been included in the context of play therapy. This study is a qualitative study on the practice of play therapy based on Positive and Transcultural principles in Turkish culture. Our model was tested with Positive and Transcultural Therapy and play therapy with 14 families. In our article, the process and content are given in detail with only one family out of 14 family and child sample groups. Parents and their children were included in the play environment and interacted with the therapist following the completion of the therapy. As a result, when the therapy sessions with the parents and the child are completed; It has been observed that openness, respect, acceptance and contact in family relationships increase, children gain autonomy, parents cope more effectively with the difficulties they face, and the children and parents adapt to each other. In general, this model will contribute to strengthening similar work of field workers.

Purpose: This study was conducted to investigate the ecotourism development strategies in Chahardangeh District of Sari to provide an appropriate image of the current state, and to help identify (external and internal) factors effective in the regional tourism. Moreover, the study was set out to come up with appropriate applicable strategies for ecotourism development. Method: The study was conducted in a descriptive-analytical method and data was collected by library research and field-work (questionnaires, observation, interviews). Findings: The total score of internal factors and external factors were 2.51 and 2.57 respectively. This demonstrated that the management of ecotourism activities with regard to internal and external factors is in a favorable, and higher than moderate state, and it is also in an aggressive mode, but the figures obtained are very close to other strategies, which will change if there is no proper planning. Practical implications: In order to develop ecotourism in Chahardangeh District and enjoy its benefits, in the first place, the local community needs to receive the training necessary for ecotourism management and development; then, they should gain access to essential facilities required for ecotourism management, and they should encourage public participation. Besides, in line with regional ecotourism goals, they may use advertisement and efficient instruments to improve tourism facilities required to lead ecotourism tours into the area. Originality / values: In terms of research method, this study was conducted like other similar studies. However, the strength of this study was taking into account all aspects of ecotourism (including biotourism, agritourism, village tourism, green tourism, health tourism, and geotourism). As Chahardangeh District is situated in an important part of Iran, which is very significant in terms of tourism and natural attractions, no significant research was conducted with practical economic and environmental goals. Proper planning can change this rural area into an ecotourism hub in the international level.
