The Effect Of Endurance Exercise On The Body's Defenses To Prevent Transmission Of The Covid Virus 19 For Student Penjaskesrek Undana

Starting from the spread of viruses Covid 19 that swept across the world in particular in Indonesia, bringing the idea to create research that contribute in dealing with viruses Covid 19. This study aims to determine the effect of endurance exercise on the body's defenses to prevent transmission of the virus covid 19 for student penjaskesrek Undana. This research is an experimental study of Quasi-Experimental Designs by using Nonequivalent Comparison Group Design which compares the effect of endurance training on the two levels of physical fitness categories of Penjaskesrek students, those who have very Low and Low categories.Samples were 12 female students from Penjaskesrek Undana in semester 2, 4 and 6, where 6 people were in the less physical fitness category, and 6 in the physical fitness category were very Low.The findings of this study include; 1) In the group of physical fitness Low are Effect of Exercise Endurance Resilience Body face Virus Covid 19 on the students Penjaskesrek Undana significantly, 2) In the group of physical fitness is very Low are Effect of Exercise Endurance Resilience Body face Virus Covid 19 on the students Penjaskesrek Undana significantly.So, the conclusion is that endurance exercises are more effective in increasing endurance to deal with the Covid 19 virus

A Narrative Approach to the Evaluation of Supportive Housing: Stories of Homeless People Who Have Experienced Serious Mental Illness

We present the findings of a narrative approach to the evaluation of supportive housing for formerly homeless people who have experienced serious mental illness. According to the accounts of 11 men and 9 women, their youth and adult years were piled with personal problems, troubled relationships, and a lack of adequate social resources. Since entering supportive housing, participants noted more stability in their lives and the beginning of journeys to recover positive personal identities, restore or develop new supportive relationships, and reclaim resources vital to leading lives with dignity and meaning. The findings add to the literature on housing interventions for this population in suggesting many positive gains beyond reductions in hometessness and hospitatization

The role of cognitive functioning within the homeless population

Few studies have investigated cognitive functioning within the homeless population but it has been recognised as asignificant difficulty within this group. A review of the literature considered studies that investigated the different components of cognitive functioning and their prevalence with the homeless population. The potential factors that may have contributed to the cognitive dysfunction were then discussed. Though associations were not found in many areas, the complexity of this population is highlighted and the need for more comprehensive method of compiling this data is discussed. The influence of the different types of cognitive impairment is then considered and discussed with regard to clinical implications.Prevalence of childhood abuse, executive functioning difficulties and problem behaviours are high within the homeless population. The relationship between childhood abuse and problem behaviours has been found in a number of previous studies but the mediating effect of executive functioning has not so far been investigated. The empirical paper used a cross-sectional design with a sample of 83 participants recruited from homeless shelters in Southampton to investigate these relationships using self-report questionnaires and psychometrics to assess IQ and executive functioning. Results showed that this population showed scores of IQ and executive functioning that fell below the general population. Bootstrapping methodology suggested that a measure of impulsivity mediated the relationship between childhood abuse and problems behaviours. Further analysis also found associations between some of the subscales of the measures. These findings support the importance of considering these impairments when planning interventions for these population and also assessing interventions targeting these deficits within this group

Offenders’ perceptions of the UK prison smoking ban

Purpose Despite overall reductions in levels of smoking in the UK, rates of offender smoking remain high. In 2016, it was announced that prisons in England and Wales would gradually introduce a smoking ban. The purpose of this paper is to explore offenders’ perceptions around the upcoming smoking ban. Design/methodology/approach A total of eight focus groups were conducted in four prisons across the North of England. Both smoking and non-smoking offenders participated in the focus groups, and thematic analysis was used to explore the findings. Findings Themes generated from the data were “freedom and rights”, “the prison environment” and “guiding support”. Participants discussed how the smoking ban was viewed as a punishment and restricted their freedom, with perceptions as to why the ban was being implemented centring around others trying to control them. Participants expressed concerns around the financial implications of the smoking ban on already stretched prison resources. Participants also recommended improving the nicotine replacement therapy on offer, and increasing the range of leisure activities within the prison to prepare for the smoking ban. Originality/value Overall, it was apparent that participants’ awareness of the smoking ban was generally poor. It is recommended that offenders need to be made more aware of the smoking cessation support they will receive and given the opportunity to ask questions about the smoking ban. Increasing offenders’ awareness of the ban may reduce stress associated with a perceived lack of choice around their smoking behaviours

Letting Go: Conceptualizing intervention de-implementation in public health and social service settings

The discontinuation of interventions that should be stopped, or de-implementation, has emerged as a novel line of inquiry within dissemination and implementation science. As this area grows in human services research, like public health and social work, theory is needed to help guide scientific endeavors. Given the infancy of de-implementation, this conceptual narrative provides a definition and criteria for determining if an intervention should be de-implemented. We identify three criteria for identifying interventions appropriate for de-implementation: (a) interventions that are not effective or harmful, (b) interventions that are not the most effective or efficient to provide, and (c) interventions that are no longer necessary. Detailed, well-documented examples illustrate each of the criteria. We describe de-implementation frameworks, but also demonstrate how other existing implementation frameworks might be applied to de-implementation research as a supplement. Finally, we conclude with a discussion of de-implementation in the context of other stages of implementation, like sustainability and adoption; next steps for de-implementation research, especially identifying interventions appropriate for de-implementation in a systematic manner; and highlight special ethical considerations to advance the field of de-implementation research

Political branding: sense of identity or identity crisis? An investigation of the transfer potential of the brand identity prism to the UK Conservative Party

Brands are strategic assets and key to achieving a competitive advantage. Brands can be seen as a heuristic device, encapsulating a series of values that enable the consumer to make quick and efficient choices. More recently, the notion of a political brand and the rhetoric of branding have been widely adopted by many political parties as they seek to differentiate themselves, and this has led to an emerging interest in the idea of the political brand. Therefore, this paper examines the UK Conservative Party brand under David Cameron’s leadership and examines the applicability of Kapferer’s brand identity prism to political branding. This paper extends and operationalises the brand identity prism into a ‘political brand identity network’ which identifies the inter-relatedness of the components of the corporate political brand and the candidate political brand. Crucial for practitioners, this model can demonstrate how the brand is presented and communicated to the electorate and serves as a useful mechanism to identify consistency within the corporate and candidate political brands

Political brand image: an investigation into the operationalisation of the external orientation of David Cameron’s Conservative brand

This paper seeks to address the limited understanding of how to operationalise the external brand image of a political brand. More specifically, this research critically assesses the transfer potential of the six variables of brand image by Bosch, Venter, Han and Boshoff to deconstruct the UK Conservative Party brand from the perspective of young people aged 18–24 years during the 2010 UK General Election campaign. This research demonstrates the applicability of the six variables otherwise known as the ‘brand image framework’ to the political environment. However, the application of the brand image framework in its original conceptualisation proved problematic. Many of the brand image variables were clarified, rearticulated and simplified to address the political context. This refined conceptualisation provided an in-depth understanding of how to investigate the political brand image of David Cameron’s Conservative Party. This study addresses the paucity of research that operationalises external brand image and provides practitioners and academics within and beyond the context of political branding a mechanism to understand the external orientation of brands. This research may also be used by political and non-political brands as a basis to explore external brand image and compare its consistency with internal brand identity

Effectiveness of the supportive housing model for the homeless population with severe mental illness in the United States

Homeless persons diagnosed with severe mental illness represent approximately a quarter of the homeless population in the United States. The risk of deteriorating health is increased the longer a person with severe mental illness remains on the streets. Supportive Housing Model (SHM) was introduced in the early 1990’s to address this public health concern. SHM intended to provide affordable permanent housing, with added support provided by case managers, social workers, and various treatment providers to assist residents in accessing services to help lengthen their time away from homelessness. This thesis is a critical literature of peer reviewed articles in PUBMED, Social Work Abstracts, Social Sciences Abstracts and PsyCritiques of randomized controlled trials published between the years 1990 and 2014 in the United States. Systematic and meta-analyses reviews were identified and included, to gain an additional perspective on the effectiveness of the SHM when applied to homeless persons with severe mental illness in the United States. The adaptation of the SHM with the homeless population diagnosed with severe mental illness does favor improved housing retention, based on the findings of the review. Additionally, consumers have a strong preference for the SHM, even though lifetime substance abuse and minority status are strong predictors of reducing the number of days away from homelessness. The intensity level of the case management services may favorably alter the housing retention rates for homeless persons with severe mental illness, substance use disorder or both, which may result in additional costs as intensity level is heightened. Future policy decisions for the SHM may need to consider the effects of mental illness, substance abuse, declining incomes, housing affordability, availability of units, intensity level of case management services, and the identification of continuous funding streams to effectively address this public health concern. The low number of randomized controlled trials identified in this literature review limits the conclusions
