Advancing and translating knowledge: a systematic inquiry into the 2010–2020 mental health and psychosocial support intervention research evidence base

Abstract Background and study objectives MHPSS is increasingly seen as a critical component to effective and responsible humanitarian programming. This review examines the extent to which MHPSS research generated since 2010 has contributed to the public health evidence base and how this has influenced and impacted programming and policy in humanitarian settings. Methods This mixed-method study included a scoping literature review (n = 50) and a consultation process with qualitative key informant interviews (n = 19) and online survey responses (n = 52) to identify the facilitating and inhibiting factors for the two areas of inquiry and to understand the broader context in which knowledge is generated and taken up. The interviews were thematically analysed and the survey responses were descriptively analysed. Results The review identified a rapidly growing evidence base that has evaluated a range of MHPSS interventions. However, few studies examined long-term impacts of interventions, there was limited direct evidence on outcomes for children and adolescents and whole family approaches, and there were minimal replications of the same approach that could test efficacy across settings and population groups. A general shift was identified in the consultation process away from a focus on disorder towards the more positive aspects of wellbeing. However, there remained a mismatch in many studies included in the literature review, whereby the interventions were broad, community-based but the outcome measures used still focused on changes in symptoms of mental disorders. Conclusion The evidence base for MHPSS has grown significantly over the last 10 years. However, several knowledge gaps remain, as does the divide between research and practice. Moving forward, MHPSS intervention research needs to be more responsive to the needs on the ground

Designing an adaptable benchmark and competition simulation for integrated planning and execution

Effectively using a planning system as the executive of an agent acting in real time poses a variety of challenges in integrating planning and execution. Many integrated systems have been developed with a focus on particular challenges, and it has been typically difficult to test, benchmark, and compare these systems. To do so requires a benchmark that has transparent and well-defined rules, and can be adapted to exhibit the problem characteristics of interest. In this paper, we propose a new benchmark simulation for integrated planning and execution, designed to be accessible and adaptive. We describe the simple core scenario of the simulation and how it can be configured to present more challenging scenarios. We describe our plans for the development of the simulation as a competition, benchmarking, and teaching tool, and encourage the community to contribute to its design

Leading the creative process: the case of virtual product design

Motivated by an acknowledged need to study creativity in the context of virtual project teams (VPTs), in this article, we contribute to theory by analysing the role that leadership plays for creativity in the different phases of the creative process in VPTs. We draw on a qualitative case study with 49 members who worked in six VPTs as part of an Industry-Academia collaboration. Using the longitudinal approach, we study each phase of the virtual product design process using interviews, observations and other materials (e.g. project documentation). We find that, in the virtual design context, creativity is best understood as a process and comes in different shapes as this process evolves. We also pinpoint that different, though complementary, leadership skills are necessary in order for VPTs’ creative potential to be unleashed. These findings highlight the heterogeneous character of leadership at the different phases of the creative process in VPTs

Maģistra darba aktualitāte. Politiskie lēmumi Latvijas enerģētikā ir izkliedēti pa daudzām ministrijām, kas apgrūtina šo lēmumu efektīvu pieņemšanu, lai arī Eiropas Komisija ir noteikusi, ka Eiropas Savienības dalībvalstīs 2050. gadā ir jābūt klimata neitrālai ekonomikai, šis mērķis ir jāsasniedz ar precīzu un koordinētu politiku jau šobrīd. Kopš pasauli satricināja Krievijas Federācijas atkārtotais iebrukums Ukrainā 2022. gada 24. februārī, arvien aktuālāks kļuva jautājums, kā nodrošināt Latvijas enerģētisko neatkarību. Maģistra darba mērķis. Izpētīt enerģētikas sektora politikas stratēģiskās plānošanas un lēmumu pieņemšanas sekmes, ka arī sniegt priekšlikumus turpmākai funkcionalitātes uzlabošanai.

Actuality of the master's thesis. Political decisions in Latvian energy industry are scattered among many ministries, which makes it difficult to make these decisions effectively, even though the European Commission has determined that the member states of the European Union must have a climate-neutral economy by 2050, this goal must be achieved with a precise and coordinated policy as soon as possible. When the Russian Federation's repeated invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022 shook the world, the question of how to ensure Latvia's energy independence became very urgent. The purpose of the master's thesis. To study the success of strategic planning and decision-making of the energy sector policy, as well as to provide proposals for further improvement of functionality. Research methodology. Qualitative data collection method – structured questionnaire, literature analysis, primary and secondary data analysis. Data processing method – graphical analysis, expert survey analysis and secondary data analysis. Achieved results. To provide proposals for improving the qualitative decision-making process of Latvian energy policy management, as well as to provide proposals for ensuring energy independence, in this time of challenges and changes

Father Attachment to Parents During Childhood in Relation to Current Father-Child Attachment Relationships

Tēva-bērna piesaistes attiecības ir maz pētīts lauks psiholoģijā, lielākajai daļai pētījumu šajā jomā ir par mātes-bērna piesaistes attiecībām. Šajā pētījumā, Latvijas izlasē, tika aptaujāti 50 tēvi, kuriem ir bērns 4-12 gadu vecumā. Šie tēvi aizpildīja Attiecību aptauju (Relationship Questionnaire, Bartholomew & Horowiz, 1991), kuru rezultāti atspoguļo tēva piesaistes stilu, un Vecāku audzināšanas pieeju aptauju (Block’s Child Rearing Practices Report; Block, 1980), lai noskaidrotu tēva audzināšanas pieejas. Šajā pētījumā tēva izrādītais emocionālais siltums savā audzināšanas pieejā tiks lietots kā norāde uz pozitīvām piesaistes attiecībām ar saviem bērniem. Tika veikta datu korelāciju analīze. Drošās piesaistes rādītāji korelēja ar emocionālā siltuma skalas rādītājiem, apstiprinot pētījuma hipotēzi, ka uzrādīsies pozitīva saistība starp tēva drošās piesaistes stila izteiktību un emocionālā siltuma izteiktību audzināšanas pieejā.Father-child attachment relationships is a rarely researched topic in psychology as most research in this field mainly focuses on mother-child attachment relationships. Participating in this study was a group of 50 Latvian fathers, who had a child of 4-12 years old. The fathers filled out the Relationship Questionnaire (Bartholomew & Horowiz, 1991), which indicates the fathers’ attachment style and the Parening Practices Questionnaire (Block’s Child Rearing Practices Report; Block, 1980), which indicates the parenting practices. Results from the Emotional warmth scale was used as an indication of the fathers’ positive attachment relationship with their child. A data correlation analysis was done. Secure attachment correlated with the emotional warmth scale data supporting the proposed hypothesis of this study that higher ratings of secure attachment style will report higher ratings on the emotional warmth scale
